WYOMING Jimmy Carter, the Plains, Ga., peanut farmer who became the 39th U.S. president, told more than 500 people at the site of Wyoming Monument that the United States will stay strong, improve and grow as long as citizens retain high moral and ethical values and principles. Carter, 88, and his wife, Rosalynn, 85, were in town to speak at the monument Tuesday afternoon. Later they hosted a dinner at the Stegmaier Mansion in Wilkes-Barre to raise money for the Plains Helping Plains effort begun in 2010 by Larry and Diane Cook. After leaving the White House, Rosalynn and I talked about what we would do with the rest of our lives, Carter said. We decided to help our hometown and to help where we can in the world. Carter, who forged lasting relationships with Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev and the Peoples Republic of China and

TUNKHANNOCK In a ruling that could have a big impact on the 2013-14 budget still in the works, an arbitrator has ordered Tunkhannock School District to reinstate all 32 teachers furloughed in a massive budget-cutting effort last July and to give those teachers full back pay and benets compensation. The district announced 32 furloughs on July 3, followed by a teacher rally that evoked im- One year of passioned, even back pay for tearful testi- 32 furloughed monials from teachers students and alumni praising would add up the suspended to about $1.9 staffers.

A pensation. decision was handed down Friday, when school was recessed for Memorial Day Weekend. The union had argued for full reinstatement on the basis of two points: Both sides had signed a memorandum of understanding, or MOU, barring such furloughs, and the layoffs were so extensive they violated a state law barring districts from furloughing teachers solely for nancial purposes. Arbitrator Thomas G. McConnell Jr. found the rst argument so convincing he ruled in favor of the union without giving consideration to the second argument. The case hinged on an MOU drawn up after the last contract expired Aug. 31, 2011. The district faced a tight nancial crunch thanks to state funding cuts, and negotiations for a new contract were still unsettled. The two sides signed an agreement freezing wages for one year, implementing other items both sides had agreed to at that point and barring any furloughs for the duration of the agreement, runSee TEACHERS, Page 8A

Several Luzerne County residents urged county council Tuesday to do something about problems encountered in last weeks primary election.
Hazleton resident Carmella Yenkevich said more than 500 votes were cast for Steve Hahn in Carbon and Schuylkill counties because Luzerne Countys election ofce did not notify the two counties of Hahns withdrawal in the Hazleton Area School Board race as required. Yenkevich, a candidate in that race, said the 500 votes would have drastically changed the outcome,
and she does not believe she or other candidates should be forced to obtain signatures, hire legal counsel and le court action seeking a new election in the two counties. Thats not acceptable to me, Yenkevich said during the on-theroad meeting at the Hazle Township municipal building. The Board of

PITTSTON City Council addressed discrimination on Tuesday night, passing an ordinance aimed at protecting the rights of homosexual, transgender and disabled residents.
Council did not refer to any specic problems of discrimination, but said that as the city updates its downtown, it also wants to update its policies, making it possible for all its residents to prosper. The ordinance, drafted by city solicitor Sam Falcone, includes protection for all persons, regardless of actual or perceived race, color, sex, religion, ancestry, genetic information, national origin, sexual orientation
or expression, gender, familial status, and mental and physical disabilities. Our administration is forward-thinking and progressive, Falcone said. Ted Martin, representing Equality Pennsylvania, said the ordinance was invaluable in the areas of housing and employment. Most people understand that everyone needs an income and a place to live, said Martin,
but, quite frequently, landlords refuse to rent to people they perceive as different from them. Daniel Parry asked council to reject the ordinance, saying it would lead to discrimination against those who held Christian religious beliefs. The ordinance is unnecessary and problematic, Parry said. We are not presently denying any groups their civil rights.
Rebekka Parry said as a parent of young children in Pittston, she was concerned about the citys moral environment. Similar ordinances have been passed in 30 other municipalities in Pennsylvania and, Martin said, they would protect 30 percent of the states residents. Martin said he hoped the state also would pass legislation reinforcing the concept of equality and opportunity for its residents.

PLYMOUTH A man was arraigned Tuesday on charges he assaulted his father during a robbery. Frederick Lamont Johnson, 31, of West Main Street, Plymouth, was charged with two counts each of simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct, and a single count of robbery. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $25,000 bail. John Moore Jr. told police his son asked him for money Monday night.

The board meet in work session June 18 at 7 p.m.
EXETER Taxpayers in the Wyoming Area School District might get an unexpected break as the School Board approved a nal proposed $30.1 million budget, which includes a tax increase of 2.3 percent. The budget is not binding, but is more favorable to taxpayers than the preliminary budget approved in April that included exceptions allowed by the state. The districts business manager, Tom Melone, said several factors allowed for the nal proposed budget. The district did not use any of its contingency funds this year, he said. He also said that adjustments for unpaid leave and sabbaticals added to the districts fund balance. The proposed budget calls for a 13.8522 millage rate for taxpayers who live in Luzerne County and a 76.9683 millage rate for those who live in Wyoming County. A mill is $1 in tax for every $1,000 in assessed property value.
The proposed tax increase would add about $36 to the average home in Luzerne County. Those living in Wyoming County would actually receive a small decrease in their taxes. In other matters: A request by the Wyoming Area Football Parents Association to hold the Warrior Tribe Trot at a venue that will be announced later raised a great deal of discussion. Solicitor Jarrett Ferentino said he was caught off guard by the request. He questioned whether the gambling-type activity would fall within the new legal guidelines for charitable fundraising. I think we have to review it, he said. The board voted to approve the event subject to Ferentinos approval. Administrators fielded several questions about the districts nancial relationship with the Luzerne Intermediate Unit. Board members and residents alike questioned the $762,000 contract the board approved for 2013-2014 services provided by the unit. change his address without approval and must participate in the countys Day Reporting Center. According to the criminal complaint ed by Hazleton Detective Lt. Kenneth Zipovsky, on Aug. 17 Donahue sent an email to Salavantis threatening to shoot it out with ofcers if the district attorney did not do as he wanted. He also made not-so-veiled threats that people would be killed if he did not get the actions he demanded, the complaint said. Also on Tuesday, Donahue requested the charges against him be dropped, citing the email does not specically contain a threat to commit violence and was a single isolated communication. Pierantoni scheduled a hearing for that request on June 14 as well as a pretrial hearing for June 26. The state Attorney Generals ofce is prosecuting the case.
his unlocked Toyota Tundra late Monday night and stole a 12-gauge Remington model 870 shotgun. An investigation determined that other unlocked vehicles may have been entered around the same time, but no other victims had come forward, police said. Lauren Hertzlerm, of West Division Street, reported four lawn chairs were stolen from his front porch sometime during the early-morning hours on Saturday. Teressa Baratta reported four cast-iron tubs were stolen from the rear of her property during the daytime hours on May 20.

City police that night had arrested the owner, Paul Halliday, 37, of West Ridge Street, Nanticoke, after investigating an assault inside the troubled tavern. Halliday had nailed an ofce door shut and threatened to shoot police if they forced open the door, according to charges led. Halliday also had allegedly kicked his girlfriend when he saw her talking to another man inside a restroom, police had said. Capones Bar & Grill Inc., 520 Main St., White Haven, was cited with selling or providing alcohol to a minor on April 13. HAZLETON City police reported the following: Andrea Kolinofsky, 38, of Hazleton, was to be cited with careless driving after she rearended a 2007 Jeep being driven by a juvenile girl at 7:45 a.m. Tuesday, police said. Police said the Jeep was stopped at the intersection of Diamond Avenue and Carson Street to turn left onto Carson Street when Kolinofskys 2004 Hyundai struck the rear of the Jeep. No injuries were reported. The Hyundai was towed. Police are investigating the theft of copper pipe from a vacant property at 201 E. Hemlock St. Anyone with information should contact police by calling 459-4940 or calling 911 and asking for a Hazleton ofcer. Police were called to investigate damage to a front window of a residence in the 500 block of Peace Street
just before 6 p.m. Monday. Anyone who might have witnessed the damage occur or anyone with information should call 911 and ask to speak with Hazleton police. A 27-year-old man reported Monday that someone entered his residence in the 100 block of South Church Street sometime around 2 a.m. and stole his Dell XPS 17 laptop computer. Anyone with information should call 911 and ask to speak with Hazleton police. PITTSTON TWP. A former Pittston Township couple face assault charges after police responded to their residence for a reported domestic dispute just after midnight on Monday. Police were met outside by Romayne Kmetz and informed that her ex-husband, Henry Kmetz, was inside arguing with their daughter and that Romayne wanted Henrys guns conscated.

Aug. 3. The home invasion was part of a crime spree allegedly involving Conden and his cohorts, Aliyah Hill, 18, of Edwardsville; Payne Prasnikar, 21, of Stillwater; Antonio Suarez, 18, and Sara Gryskevicz, 19, both from WilkesBarre. Hours before Conden allegedly shot his way into the home of Marion Pollock, 89, he and Prasnikar allegedly

WILKES-BARRE Scranton will be the rst city in Northeastern Pennsylvania to use a smartphone app that enables downtown drivers to pay for parking in public lots and metered spaces with their cellphones. The app, called Pango, has customers in 48 cities in Israel and Europe and three cities in the United States Latrobe, Pa., Auburn N.Y., and now Scranton. Wilkes-Barre participated in a pilot
program for new parking meter technology back in February 2011, but that program was designed to increase revenue through a system that would have used sensors and other technology to alert ofcials when parked vehicles exceeded time limits or a meter needed to be emptied. Wilkes-Barre Municipal Affairs Manager Drew McLaughlin said a report issued last year showed the city could increase parking revenue with the system, and those revenues were included in a proposal to lease the citys parking meters and garages, but the parking authority voted down the proposal. McLaughlin said pursuing the technology was put on hold as the lease was being considered and was not pursued
after the deal was rejected because the administration had more pressing matters. Dani Shavit, CEO of Pango Shyyny USA of Baltimore, said he was attracted to Scranton because it has made infrastructure improvements that, in turn, have attracted new and innovative businesses such as food trucks that have become downtown staples. We are looking for cities with potential, Shavit said. Mayor Christopher Doherty believes smartphone parking is a natural progression. Years from now, people are going to wonder why we didnt always pay with

WILKES-BARRE An apartment building on Hazle Avenue was condemned by the city code enforcement ofce and a fugitive from New York was captured after police investigated a domestic dispute Tuesday morning. Andre Allen, 22, of 617 Hazle Ave., apartment 3, was arraigned on charges he used another name to identify himself to an ofcer. Police investigated a dispute involving a woman and Allen, who allegedly claimed he was going to kill her unborn child. Allen and the woman were stopped
by police on McLean Street and transported back to his apartment. Allen claimed he had a passport inside the apartment that identied him as Christopher A. Thomas, according to the criminal complaint. Once back at the apartment, the woman told police she had thrown all of Thomas belongings outside and the landlord picked it up. The landlord informed police that Thomas is David Burke. Police believe Allen is using numerous aliases. Allen ran into the apartment building after the woman had gone inside. Police forced their way inside the building for fear of the womans unborn child and Allens previous threats, the complaint says.

You wont nd it marked on many if any calendars, but today is PA529 Day, set aside by the state to draw attention to a tax-deferred saving plan for college. It may be obscure to most, but there are 3,096 529 accounts in Luzerne County that helped families save $31 million for college, according to the state Department of Treasury, which runs the federally backed program. Federal and state taxes are deferred as long as money remains in a 529 account, and both the principal and investment income are tax free upon withdrawal if used for qualied purposes, mainly tuition, room and board, though other college costs are on the list. At worst, a person can withdraw the money to use for any purpose and pay the taxes they would have owed anyway. There is no bad outcome, said state Treasury Secretary Rob McCord, a staunch proponent of the program who gladly touts rapid growth in participation and amount saved under his tenure. We have record enrollment and record savings, McCord said. As of March 31, there were 176,256 accounts statewide holding $2.785 billion. Regionally, Luzerne County has the most accounts and the most money saved, which is not surprising considering its the largest, population-wise. Lackawanna County is a close second, with 2,856 accounts holding $30.2 million. Among adjacent counties, lightly-populated and largely rural Wyoming County has the fewest accounts, 262 holding $2.54 million. There are two types of 529 accounts in Pennsylvania. One guarantees investment returns will match tuition increases at certain institutions. The other gives greater exibility in how money is invested, but does not guarantee returns. PA529 Day is more that a sales pitch by program proponents. To lure people to enroll via the state website at PA529.com, the state is waiving the $50 enrollment fee for those who sign up by Friday (use the code TimeFlies when prompted). Sign up by the deadline and you also will have a chance to win one of ve $529 accounts opened on behalf of the winners by the state. Its never too early and its never too late to enroll, McCord said Tuesday. Whether youre a grandparent who just heard about a second grandchild on the way, or somebody already in college, it usually makes economic sense to make use of these programs, and its super easy to do.

INDIANAPOLIS
POINT PLEASANT, N.J. President Barack Obama and Gov. Chris Christie reunited for a buddy trip to the beach Tuesday, showing off the improvements to the Jersey Shore in the seven months since it was hit by Superstorm Sandy and encouraging tourists to return to the storied vacation destination. The Jersey Shore is back, and its open for business, the president said on a cloudy and drizzly day. The trip served as a sort of tourism commercial, featuring the two politicians playing at an arcade on the boardwalk, high-ving excited kids and marveling at a giant sand castle under construction. The president, in a playful speech, said, If they ever let me have some fun, Id have it here. Obama said the Jersey Shore had a special place in the nations heart and its mythology. He quoted Bruce Springsteens Jersey Girl, saying, Down the shore everythings all right. But the days agenda also played up the role the Democratic president and the Republican governor have played in helping the area recover after the storm crushed seaside property, took out portions of the boardwalk and devastated key tourist destinations. Although Obama noted that restaurants and arcades were open, he also stressed that the reconstruction work continued. Were not done yet, and I want to make sure that everybody understands that, he said. Were going to keep on going until we nish. Standing just a hundred

yards from the shore at Asbury Park, Christie credited cooperation among local, state and federal government for the progress. This has been a community effort, everybody working together, Christie told the crowd. The cause of
rebuilding was more important, he said, than any kind of politics at all. Obama and Christie paid an unannounced visit to the Point Pleasant boardwalk. They checked out progress on what Obama said would be the worlds tallest
sand castle, which currently has a wood frame and scaffolding. Ed Jarrett, the designer, said he is building it from top to bottom. The town is going for the Guinness record for sand castles, several folks on the boardwalk said.
BEIJING A newborns cries from a public restroom in a residential building in eastern China led a tenant to a startling discovery: a baby boy trapped in a sewage pipe beneath a squat toilet. Fireghters, unable to pull the baby out, ended up sawing away an L-shaped section of the pipe and carrying it to a hospital, where it was delicately pried apart to save the infant. Video of the two-hour rescue of Baby No. 59 so named because of his incubator number in the hospital in the Pujiang area of the city of Jinhua was shown on Chinese news programs and websites late Monday and Tuesday. The baby, who weighed 6 pounds, 2.8 ounces, had a low heart rate and some minor abrasions on his head and
limbs, but was mostly unhurt, according to Zhejiang Online, the provinces ofcial news site. The placenta was still attached. It was unclear how the baby ended up in the toilet, but police said they were treating the case as an attempted homicide. The Pujiang county police bureau said on its ofcial microblog account that the boys mother has been located and that an investigation was under way, but it gave no further details. In the video, ofcials were shown removing the pipe from a ceiling that apparently was just below the restroom and then, at the hospital, using pliers and saws to gently pull apart the pipe, which was about about 3 inches in diameter. News of the babys ordeal was met with horror and pity by bloggers on Chinese sites. Most speculated that the child had been dumped by his parents down the toilet. The landlord of the building told Zhejiang News that there were no

signs that the birth took place in the restroom and she was not aware of any recent pregnancies among her tenants.
WASHINGTON A partisan showdown is looming over what is known as the nations secondhighest court, with President Barack Obama poised to nominate as many as three choices for the understaffed U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington in the face of a Republican proposal to distribute its vacancies to other parts of the country. The District of Columbia Circuit has been at the center of years of wrangling between the White House and the Senate because its judges have so much inuence over national and even international matters. Many cases, heard on the fth oor of the federal courthouse across from the Capitol, relate to the balance of power in Washington and review of actions by federal agencies that affect health, safety and the environment for all Americans. The White House is planning to pair Obamas nominations with an aggressive push to get them conrmed despite a GOP bill to trim the number of judges on the D.C. circuit. Republicans are taking their attempts to manipulate the federal judiciary to an entirely new level, Obama senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said in a written statement that the White House planned to post on its blog Wednesday as part of its campaign on judicial nominations. The White House has been frustrated by the successful blocking of one of Obamas nominees to the circuit and by key decisions there recently against Obamas agenda. The circuit overturned the administrations regulation clamping down on power plant pollution that crosses state lines, rejected its attempt to require large graphic health warnings on cigarette packages and found that Obama exceeded his power in bypassing the Senate to make recess appointments. We have a majority in that court that is wreaking havoc with the country, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid argued last week on the Senate oor. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell responded to Reid, The real issue, I guess, is he disagrees with the rulings on the D.C. circuit. Although Obama also has gotten some victories from the D.C. circuit, which upheld his health care law and his administrations rule on greenhouse gases, he was stymied in his attempts to add his own nominees to its bench until last week. Obamas rst offering, Caitlin Halligan, waited two and a half years before withdrawing her nomination in March with Republicans blocking a vote on her conrmation.
BALTIMORE Passengers whose cruise aboard Royal Caribbeans Grandeur of the Seas was cut short by an onboard re began arriving back in Baltimore on charter ights from the Bahamas on Tuesday afternoon, with many praising the response of the company and crew. Ill never go on any other cruise line, said Craig Dzubak,
26, of Pittsburgh, who was on his rst cruise. They couldnt have handled it any better. He said he and his wife, Chelsea, were planning their next cruise while on the ight home. Robert Alexander of Hamilton, N.J., said he was impressed by how well-prepared everyone on board was for emergencies. An actor from the ships theater made announcements to passengers after they were evacuated from their rooms, he said. Meanwhile, the vice president of the Grand Bahama Shipyard said the ship would be repaired at his facility, though a full assessment of damage hadnt been done yet.
We are still working with the cruise line to assess the repairs, and I sent a crew over there this morning, Reuben Byrd said Tuesday. Im assuming it will be a big job for us, he added. Royal Caribbean spokeswoman Cynthia Martinez did not immediately return phone calls or emails Tuesday afternoon about the repairs. Earlier, she said she had no updates on the incident or cause. Byrd said the shipyard didnt know about the cause, either. The U.S. Coast Guard and the National Transportation Safety Board planned to investigate. The re began at 2:50 a.m. Monday and was extinguished

DENVER A set of laws to govern how recreational marijuana should be grown, sold and taxed was signed into law Tuesday in Colorado, where Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper called the measures the states best attempt to navigate the uncharted territory of legalized recreational pot. The laws cover how the drug should be raised and packaged, with purchasing limits for outof-state visitors and a new marijuana driving limit as an analogy to blood alcohol levels. Hickenlooper didnt support marijuana legalization last year, but he praised the regulatory package as a good rst crack at safely overseeing the drug. Recreational marijuana is really a completely new entity, Hickenlooper said, calling the pot rules commonsense oversight, such as required potency labeling and a requirement that
marijuana is to be sold in childproof opaque packing with labels clearly stating the drug may not be safe. Colorado voters approved recreational marijuana as a constitutional amendment last year. The state allows adults over 21 to possess up to an ounce of the drug. Adults can grow up to six plants, or buy pot in retail stores, which are slated to open in January. The governor said Tuesday he believes the federal government will soon respond to the fact that Colorado and Washington state are in violation of federal drug law. But Hickenlooper didnt have a specic idea of when. We think that it will be relatively soon. We are optimistic that they are going to be a little more specic in their approach on this issue, Hickenlooper said. Pressed for details, the governor jokingly referred to unrelated scandals surrounding the U.S. Department of Justice.

MOORE, Okla. Before residents of Moore can rebuild, theyll have to deal with the debris from the deadly tornado that devastated the Oklahoma City suburb: crushed wood, mangled siding and battered belongings that could make a pile reaching more than a mile into the sky. The splintered remains rst stop is a landll where items will be sorted, then recycled or burned. Bricks, for instance, will go to charity projects such as Habitat for Humanity; wood, paper and clothing will be incinerated. I could be sad about it, but its not going to make anything come back. Its just a house. Its just stuff. We have each other, Jessie Childs said as bulldozer and backhoe operators reduced her house near the Plaza Towers Elementary School to a 10-foot pile of rubble. The school was destroyed in the top-of-the scale EF5 tornado that carved a 17-mile path of destruction on May 20. In all, 24 people were killed, including seven children in the school. With each load of debris, Moore moves another step closer to recovering from the storm that damaged or destroyed 4,000 homes and businesses. Against a cacophony of snapping lumber, crunching metal and the beepbeep of bulldozers in reverse, Clayton Powell sorted through the listing remains of his Moore home. Youre sifting through rubble piles trying to nd that one photo, memories you cant restore, Powell said. Im sure there are a few things I havent even thought of and wont miss. Presidential approval of a major disaster declaration typically covers 75 percent of the cost for communities to remove debris. In Moores case, Presi-

dent Barack Obama approved even more assistance. Under a pilot program, the federal government will pay 85 percent of debris removal costs for the rst 30 days and 80 percent for the next 60. The expectation is that quicker debris removal speeds up the overall recovery. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation brought in 400 of its workers and 250 pieces of equipment, including dump trucks and front-end loaders, to help with the process, said Transportation Secretary Gary Ridley. As residents pick through the remains of their homes for the few surviving personal treasures, theyve developed a way for crews to know when its OK to take stuff away. If its out on the curb, anybody can come out and get it, said Charlie Baker of Blanchard, watching a bulldozer raze his daughters house and push it to the street. A relative found her Tiffany
necklace, but theres not much else worth salvaging. Jumping into the pile quickly after the storm, Kathy Duffy struggled to even nd things that actually belonged to her sister, who was out of town when the storm hit. None of the clothes we found is theirs. None of the pictures we found is theirs, Duffy said last week. Thats denitely not theirs, she said, pointing to a pair of large black sweatpants draped over a chair. Paul Borges, who lives on the east side of Moore, found a crowbar and a 1979 baseball card featuring a player he had never heard of. A neighbor found onehalf of a $100 bill. A eld near the Abundant Life church was littered with canceled checks from 1980 and from a town 16 miles away. Along Eagle Street was a pink, fuzzy slipper and a gray bra, with no sign they traveled together. After debris arrives at the landll, workers will go through
it, Moore Mayor Glenn Lewis said. Wood, paper and clothing will be placed in a burner box, a device that uses its own scraps to generate heat to the point that it eventually consumes itself, Lewis said. Hazardous material will likely go out of state. Albert Ashwood, Oklahomas emergency management director, could not estimate the cost or the amount of the debris beyond I can tell you there will be plenty. His agency on Monday estimated that just under 4,000 homes and businesses were destroyed or seriously impacted by storms May 19 and 20 a gure about half that from a similar EF5 tornado in Joplin, Mo., two years ago. The Missouri storm generated 3 million cubic yards of debris. If Moores debris eld winds up about half that, the pile would cover an NBA-sized basketball court, like the one where the Oklahoma City Thunder play, to a depth of 1.7 miles.
WASHINGTON The storm engulng the Internal Revenue Service could provide a boost for lawmakers who want to simplify U.S. tax laws a code that is so complicated most Americans buy commercial software to help them or simply hire someone else to do it all. Members of Congress from both political parties say the current uproar over the targeting of conservative political groups underscores that overly complex tax provisions have given the IRS too much discretion in interpreting and enforcing the law. This is the perfect example of why we need tax reform, said Rep. Tim Grifn, R-Ark., a member of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee. If you want to diminish and limit the power of the IRS, you have got to reduce the complexity of the tax code and take them out of it. There are still formidable obstacles to completing a major tax overhaul this year or next. Democrats and Republicans start off with opposite views on whether the government should levy more taxes and on who should pay what share. The two sides also dont trust one another, making it difcult to envision agreement on which popular tax breaks to keep and which to scrap. Most taxpayers pay someone to do their taxes or they buy commercial software to help them le. In a report earlier this year, national taxpayer advocate Nina E. Olson ranked complexity as the most serious problem facing both
taxpayers and the IRS. People simply trying to comply with the rules often make inadvertent errors and overpay or underpay, she said, while others often nd loopholes that enable them to reduce or eliminate their tax liabilities. The IRS scandal has little, if anything, to do with most everyday taxpayers, yet some lawmakers hope the attention will help galvanize support for the rst major tax overhaul since 1986. A little over two weeks ago, the IRS revealed that agents assigned to a special team in Cincinnati had targeted tea party and other conservative groups for additional, often burdensome scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status. The targeting lasted more than 18 months during the 2010 and 2012 election campaigns, hindering the groups ability to raise money, according to a report by the agencys inspector general. The ensuing storm has cost two top IRS ofcials their jobs, and a third has been placed on paid administrative leave. Investigations by Congress and the Justice Department are underway. The IRS was screening the groups applications because agents were trying to determine their level of political activity. IRS regulations say that tax-exempt social welfare organizations can engage in some political activity but the activity cannot be their primary mission. It is a vague standard that agents struggled to apply, according to the inspector generals report. Lawmakers in both parties have complained for years that overtly political groups on the left and right have taken advantage of the rules, allowing them to claim tax-exempt status and hide the identities of their donors.

OXON HILL, Md. Jae Canetti said he screamed No! when he learned the National Spelling Bee would be introducing a vocabulary test. He started changing the way he prepared, studying denitions of words on the bus ride to school each day. At least the extra work appeared to have paid off. When the 11-year-old from Fairfax, Va., took the test Tuesday morning, he felt he did just ne. I knew a lot of the words, Jae said. It denitely was not, like, painstaking. The 86th edition of the Scripps National Spelling Bee took on new meaning or rather, lots of meanings
with organizers having decreed that the precocious youngsters need to prove they know more than just how to spell. The 281 competitors took a 45-minute computer test that probed their knowledge of both spelling and vocabulary, with the results to be combined with todays onstage round to determine who advances to the seminals Thursday. For the most part, the spellers had the same reaction to the vocabulary test: Good idea, but they wished they had known about it sooner. I think everybody wasnt expecting it, because it was something you werent thinking they were going to put in, said 12-year-old Mary Elizabeth Horton from West Melbourne, The election board is expected to meet Monday night to vote to certify the election results. Several council members criticized the notication failure regarding Hahn. Ofcials in Carbon and Schuylkill counties may expect Luzerne County to pay for a new Hazleton Area School Board election in their counties, ofcials said. It was embarrassing to all of us, and it was embarrassing to the area, said Councilman Rick Morelli. He said mistakes happen, but he is particularly disappointed in a lack of communication and transparency on how the matter will be resolved. He noted county Election Director Marisa Crispell-Barber was hired by county Manager Robert Lawton. Councilman Stephen A. Urban said council cant vacate the election board seats held by ve unpaid citizens because the home rule charter prohibits council from interfering with county boards and authorities. Councilwoman Elaine Maddon Curry said an error that
Fla. But it denitely changes everything. Organizers announced the addition of vocabulary seven weeks ago, saying it reinforces the bees mission to encourage students to broaden their knowledge of the English language. They waited until all of the qualifying bees had been completed so that the spellers would be on equal footing in their preparation. Before they announced the vocabulary, I paid attention to the denitions but I didnt focus too much, said 13-year-old Arvind Mahankali of New York. But then after they announced it, I occasionally had my dad quiz me on vocabulary words, and I studied the denitions once in a while. allowed 500 votes for a withdrawn candidate in a very close election is very disturbing. It just shouldnt happen, she said. Councilman Edward Brominski said Luzerne County made the mistake and should be responsible for correcting it. Councilwoman Linda McCloskey Houck said she pushed for Tuesdays resolution because county ofcials must ensure the rights of citizens are protected. Countywide reassessment also was discussed Tuesday because Hazleton resident Jack Mundie said many Hazleton area properties are selling far below assessed values. He cited a double-block assessed at $166,000 that recently sold for $55,000 and said he will provide many more examples to council. The last countywide reassessment, which took effect in 2009, was at the height of the market, Mundie said. I dont think its fair were paying more taxes than the rest of the county, Mundie said, adding he does not believe another reassessment will cost an

Elections was at fault, and I believe they should resolve it to the satisfaction of the voters and the candidates. Hazle Township resident Marfy Yanac said the error is very concerning. Whos going to be accountable for the discrepancy that happened? she asked. Ann Marie Shelby, also of Hazle Township, described problems she witnessed in the primary and previous elections. Wilkes-Barre Township resident Bob Caruso, who has monitored elections for decades, asked county council to request the resignation of election board members. People are shocked and dismayed by this last primary election, Caruso said. Council passed a resolution Tuesday requiring the election board to investigate primary election problems and attend the June 25 council meeting to explain what happened.
enormous amount of money because new photographs and property descriptions are not needed. Urban has called for another reassessment and said he and former Commissioner Tom Makowski passed a resolution in 2003 requiring the county to complete a reassessment every four years to prevent assessments from getting stale. County ofcials havent honored this edict, saying the expense of a new reassessment isnt justied when state statistics show the countys assessments are still sound. The last revaluation cost $8 million and was more involved because the values had not been updated since 1965. The next reassessment is supposed to be completed in-house and cost signicantly less, ofcials said. Lawton said county Assessment Director Tony Alu will attend an upcoming council meeting to discuss the matter. Morelli said county ofcials must weigh the cost and pros and cons because the last reassessment was a nightmare.
NANTICOKE The former site of a gas manufacturing plant in the city where soil and groundwater are contaminated will soon be cleaned up by UGI Penn Natural Gas with oversight from the state Department of Environmental Protection. The site, located at the intersection of Walnut and Arch streets, will take between two and three years to clean up and is one of 11 similar properties in Pennsylvania. Its a multiyear project to get all these sites remediated and returned to some sort of functional site, said Joseph Swope, a communications director for UGI. Swope said the work at the 11 properties is due to an agreement with the state DEP dating back to March 2004. He said soil at each property is tested for contaminants and then a plan is developed to clean each site. That may include removal of soil to return the property back to a functional state. Swope said adjoining properties also are tested for contaminants . He said gas used in homes was once manufactured in plants that havent been functioning since the 1950s. The Nanticoke plant has since been demolished. Unfortunately, the manufactured gas process did leave some contaminated soil, Swope said. UGI and the DEP recently cleaned a site in Scranton, and another exists on Water Street in Wilkes-Barre, Swope said. Other sites are in Columbia, Montour and Lycoming coun-
Nanticoke recently acquired three ood-damaged properties located along Arch Street after delinquent taxes were forgiven and the Federal Emergency Management Agency approved the purchase. In a May 22 ling in Luzerne County, solicitors for the city asked for a real estate tax abatement on three parcels along Arch Street, belonging to Edward and Elaine Rasmus and Jean Kotsko. Solicitor William Finnegan said the properties were purchased by the city through FEMA after the September 2011 ood. The properties received extensive damage, Finnegan said. According to the court ling, the three parcels of land had combined unpaid and delinquent city taxes of $1,758. In the court ling, Finnegan asked that the delinquent taxes be satised, which was ultimately granted by County Judge Lesa Gelb. Finnegan said as of last week, the city now owns the three parcels of land, but said the city is unsure what will be done with the properties. The buildings located on the properties will most likely be razed, Finnegan said. During the September 2011, water from the Susquehanna River ooded the nearby Weis Market parking lot, located near the Arch Street properties.
ties. The process of cleaning up the site begins with a legal notice published in local newspapers, followed by a 30-day public comment period. Nanticoke has until June 21 to submit a request to UGI for development of a public involvement plan. Swope said sites of former gas manufacturing plants have previously been turned into parking lots or parks in several areas. He said it is not known yet what the site in Nanticoke will be used for, if anything.

ning through Aug. 31, 2012. The district announced the furloughs nearly two months before that date but noted they would not take effect until after it, thus complying with the MOU. The union argued the date of implementation was irrelevant because a clause in the agreement says this MOU shall expire upon the ratication of a successor agreement. It was an MOU contract, union representative Sheila Saidman said Tuesday, stressing the word contract. As in any contract, you remain under the status quo until a successor agreement is signed. No such agreement was signed. Saidman said she didnt know how much the decision would cost the district. According to state data, the average teacher salary in the district for 201011 the latest available data was $59,813. At that rate, one year of back pay for 32 furloughed teachers would add up to about $1.9 million, not counting benets or any other com-
pensation. According to McConnells opinion and award, the union argued the wage freeze was explicitly for one year but the furlough ban was not. The district argued both were clearly intended to last only one year. The district has fought with tremendous zeal in this case, and has parsed this memorandum of agreement in an attempt to have a different result reached here, McConnell wrote. I have read the memorandum at least a dozen times, with both parties arguments in mind, and each time I came away clearly convinced that the (teacher union) Association has posited the correct interpretation. District Superintendent Michael Healey did not return a call Tuesday afternoon, but the district has the right to appeal to Wyoming County Court. After that, either side would have the right to appeal to Commonwealth Court. Saidman was condent it would be upheld, at least at the higher level. Ive seen this sort of decision overturned at the county level sometimes, she said, but upheld at the commonwealth level.
Saidman noted some of the teachers had been called back through the year and would not be eligible for full back pay. The School Board has already passed a preliminary budget with expenditures set at $45.9
million and property taxes increased form 68.1 to 69.6 mills. A mill is a $1 tax on every $1,000 of assessed property value. The board can revise the budget but must pass a nal budget by June 30.
EXETER A woman employed as a bookkeeper at Avenue Auto Sales on Wyoming Avenue was charged Tuesday with stealing nearly $50,000 from the business. Patricia A. Avery, 49, of High Mountain Road, Exeter Township, was arraigned by District Judge Joseph Carmody in West Pittston on three counts each of theft by unlawful taking and receiving stolen property, and a single count of forgery. She was released on $7,500 unsecured bail. Police allege Avery, while employed as a bookkeeper, paid herself with extra paychecks, overtime and petty cash from 2009 through 2012, according to the criminal complaint. Avery used three different accounts to plunder from the business, police allege. Police said in the complaint Avery unlawfully took
$10,202.22 from the Avenue Auto Sales general account, $11,996.72 from the business garage account and $26,320.75 from the payroll account. Owner Joseph Appel discovered the thefts when he noticed in September that Avery overpaid herself $150, the complaint says. He checked prior payroll accounts and discovered more missing money that led to an audit, which showed overpayments to Avery, the complaint says. Police questioned Avery on Jan. 9, when she allegedly admitted to overpaying herself but was unsure of the amount. She stated she was told to take an extra $20 per week for gasoline and the use of her vehicle for business, according to the complaint. In a second interview with police on March 28, Avery admitted she was taking extra money to make ends meet and pay bills, the complaint states. said that potential exists as he sees one of the groups roles being that as an advocate for funding to combat hunCasey ger. A m o n g those at the Weinberg Food Bank to participate in the announcement of the new entity was state Sen. John Yudichak, who voiced frustration with the economy and the percentage of people forced to rely on assistance for food. This new association will allow for better cooperation and communication between all of our food banks to ensure that all families are getting the assistance they need and it will also provide a strong, unied voice in the ght against hunger at the state and federal level, Yudichak, D-Plymouth Township, said.

year, Caryn Long, the Harrisburgbased groups executive director, said. There are an estimated 1.8 million food insecure people in Pennsylvania, according to Feeding Americas Map the Meal Gap study. Feeding Pennsylvania was created, in part, to make sure that number shrinks. Feeding Pennsylvania member food banks and other local charities are already stretched to the breaking point trying to keep up with increased need as families in our state continue to feel the impact of the recession, Long said. Gene Brady, executive director of the Weinberg Food Bank and the vice chairman of the new Feeding Pennsylvania board, said locally there has been a 10 percent increase in the number of people
using a food pantry, soup kitchen, after-school food program or other organization thats served by the Weinberg Food Bank in the past year. Even though the recession might be ending for some, he said the lower end of the economic spectrum is typically the last to see the positive impacts. This recession has been protracted, Brady said, noting that with so many across the state relying on assistance, a centralized food bank organization can best coordinate resources and assistance among all member organizations so food can nd its way to
areas with the greatest need and any excess amounts of food at one food bank can be shifted to help those in need elsewhere in the state. He said the new organization will bring together food banks with common causes and common problems and allow them to communicate and share ideas easier. Other states have done it and its been successful. We thought we should take a look at doing it too, Brady said. While the organization is not listed as a lobbyist entity, Brady

HARRISBURG Pennsylvanias Supreme Court has adopted the rst set of statewide policies, procedures and standards of conduct for elected constables who serve civil papers, transport prisoners and do other work for local courts, Chief Justice Ronald Castille said Tuesday. The rules, the product of
more than two years of work by a group that included judges, court ofcials and constables, are a critical step toward reining in a system that detractors say has long lacked standards in such areas as qualications and professionalism, the chief justice said. A 2008 series of articles by The Associated Press catalogued dozens of examples of misconduct, including consta-
bles caught stealing court funds, having sex with prisoners, threatening people with weapons and illegally impersonating police. It cited concern among judges, lawyers and police about the potential for abuses by armed constables with minimal training or supervision. Under the new rules, constables will continue to be elected and work as independent con-
tractors by the courts, but they will be subject to uniform standards and policies that include: Elected or appointed constables seeking work from the courts must be certied by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, a process that requires completion of basic training and continuing education, and show proof that they have liability insur-
ance providing coverage of at least $250,000 per incident and $500,000 per year. Constables must comply with standards of conduct established by the Unied Judicial System, which require that they avoid conicts of interest and abstain from soliciting funds for any purpose or engaging in political activity while performing judicial duties. A constable must carry
identication and wear clothing that clearly identies him or her as a constable while performing judicial duties. Vehicles used for the transportation of defendants to and from court must be in roadworthy condition and be equipped with a permanent cage behind the drivers seat that securely separates the constable from the defendants.

PHILADELPHIA In their own way, four women being sentenced this week for working at a corrupt, grimy Philadelphia abortion clinic were just as desperate as the patients. Lynda Williams, 44, was trying to raise four children after her husband was murdered. Sherry West, 53, had been waiting more than a year for disability after contracting hepatitis C through her work as a medical assistant at a Veterans Administration Hospital, where she had spent 20 years.
Adrienne Moton, 36, was steered to the Womens Medical Society through a career school, where she was studying to be a medical assistant. And Elizabeth Hampton had been in foster care as a girl with the third wife of clinic owner Dr. Kermit Gosnell. All but Hampton have pleaded guilty to murder in the deaths of babies born alive or an oversedated patient. Hampton was sentenced Tuesday to a year on probation after admitting she lied to a grand jury about the patients 2009 overdose death. Williams, West and Moton
face 20 to 40 years in prison for third-degree murder, but they are expected to get far less time after their testimony helped send Gosnell to prison for life for killing three babies born alive during abortions. Gosnell, 72, was convicted this month of three counts of rst-degree murder in the infant deaths, and involuntary manslaughter in the death of patient Karnamaya Mongar. Gosnell agreed to serve a life term without parole rather than face a death-penalty hearing. In exchange, he has waived his right to appeal.

In addition, Pango gives downtown Scranton merchants the opportunity to advertise with the company. As a result, and Gryskevicz was sentenced to seven years. Hill pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit armed robbery and had her case transferred to juvenile court in Maryland. State police and police in Edwardsville, Kingston Township and Nanticoke led charges against Conden, Hill, Prasnikar, Suarez and Gryskevicz with district judges James Tupper, Paul Roberts and Donald Whittaker. They have not been arraigned. Marion Pollock was awakened by the house alarm and her dog barking at about 1:50 a.m. Aug. 3, and hid in a closet with a cellphone. She heard two male voices in her home and called a family member, who urged her to stay in the closet, according to charges led. State police believe four shots were red through a rear glass door, which tripped the alarm. There was also evidence that a shot was red while the intruders were in the house. Pollock was not injured, state police said.

PITTSBURGH The population of six major Pennsylvania cities increased modestly between 2010 and 2012, according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Last week, the Census Bureau released a list of population trends in 729 U.S. cities with populations of more than 50,000, from those with the strongest population growth to the weakest. Philadelphia had the strongest growth in Pennsylvania, at 1.4 percent, or just more than 21,600 people. That put Philadelphia at No. 472 on the growth list nationally. Cedar Park, Texas, was rst with a growth rate of 12 percent, and Youngstown, Ohio, was last on the national list, with a loss of 2.4 percent. In Pennsylvania, Allentown
grew by 942 people, Pittsburgh by 509, Bethlehem by 121, Lancaster by 38 and Reading by 22. Erie showed the largest decline of any Pennsylvania city,
with a loss of 739 people, and Scranton declined by 280. The census report is based on population changes from April 1, 2010, to July 1, 2012.

mouse. If you wanted the results, you had to do it the old fashioned way: Gathering it yourself, rather than having it spoon fed to your LCD screen while wolng down pizza and coffee. Please. A little perspective. Until 2007, there was no such thing as online results here. We survived ne for decades without them. If you wanted numbers you had three choices: Get them yourself by racing to each polling place and writing them down, station reporters in different political beehives where interested politicos tallied races they cared about and who would share their numbers, or hover at the courthouse rotunda to glean any scraps of info you could get before deadline. You want havoc of the great confusion and disorder type? It was the norm prior to online results. Notably, the county website was back up before the nal, unofcial count was

available. When the data that mattered was there, everyone with a computer had access to it. Which means the story wasnt really about the county server going down, it was about the media not having instant access at out desktops. And the county is not required to post results online as soon as they are available. Such postings make a great deal of sense and certainly should be done, and county ofcials would rightly face brutal criticism if it werent. But its a courtesy, not a right. In a bit of irony, the crash may have been caused by the growing number of media people logging on to see election results every few minutes. After all, it doesnt seem likely the general public was overwhelming the server. Only 19.79 percent of people over 18 voted in Luzerne County. Thats an all-time low, and its the real calamity here. When less than one-fth of those who can vote do, it may be time to start talking about a democracy meltdown that could lead to havoc.

ust because you are not old enough to vote, does not mean that you cannot make a difference. This is true of Edwardsvilles Junior Councilman Matthew Dubaskas. In politics, it is easy to overlook someone going above and beyond, especially someone not of voting age, and from a political family like Matthew Dubaskass, the grandson of Edwardsville Mayor Bernard Ace Dubaskas and son of Edwardsvilles Wyoming Valley West School Board Member Brian Dubaskas. But that is exactly what he is doing. Matthew, a year away from casting his rst ballot, is a junior at Wyoming Valley West. A member of the WVW football and wrestling teams, Matthew spends a great deal of his free time in the athletic arena. After that, its politics for him. Its in our blood, Matthew said told me after an Edwardsville town council meeting. Its neat to see how everything works in town. Far too often, people get caught up in the Republican versus Democrat mentality, but not Matthew. He said that he takes each issue one at a time, exactly the type of balance we need in our towns, county, state, and country. Learning about politics doesnt start when you enter the voting booth after
turning 18. It starts before. Whether its reading the newspaper, watching the news, or interacting with your local government (or all three!), it takes initiative to tear down old stereotypes, seek knowledge, and desire to make the changes necessary going forward. Matthew is following in the footsteps of his family: by grabbing the bull by its horns. I can only encourage more people to do the same; if you see a problem, do something about it. To paraphrase Edmund Burke, The worst thing in life is for good people to do nothing. I praise Matthew Dubaskas, because it is an individual such as Matthew who will become one of our future leaders.
he letter from Mary Ann Haas wrongly portrays NETWORK and its Nuns on the Bus tour. Instead of trying to block the tour from using Catholic properties, Catholics should welcome this group and hear its challenging message. The National Catholic Social Justice Lobby was founded three decades ago specically to advocate for efforts that close the gap between the rich and the poor in our country. It lobbies governments to end policies that support rac-
ism, greed, and violence. NETWORK has never claimed to speak for the church. Its advocacy is solidly rooted in the churchs social justice teachings. It has not advocated for womens ordination or marriage equality; rather, it stands shoulder to shoulder with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in suggesting programs that help the least among us. Its rst bus tour opposed Representative Paul Ryans anti-poor budget, which the Bishops called immoral. This time the tour focuses on immigration reform, something the Bishops have been advocating for years. NETWORK has opposed food stamp cuts and the mean-spirited sequester, which dramatically hurt the poor, the elderly, and children while protecting the rich. In Pennsylvania, led by NETWORK, 1300 sisters, priests, and brothers from 19 congregations advocated that Governor Corbett drop his opposition to the expansion of Medicaid, which would decrease the number of uninsured in our state by 700,000, including 232,000 children and save $878 million, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. In the centuries-long tradition of the Catholic Church, the Nuns on the Bus give a voice to the call for social justice rst made by Jesus. We praise NETWORK and honor its work.

Non-political presidential visits to Luzerne County: Former President Jimmy Carter spoke at the Wyoming Monument Tuesday afternoon, which was his second visit to the county in the last two years. He was here in 2011 for an event at Cook & Cook Estate Liquidators in Plains Township. Other non-campaign presidential visits to the county include: Rutherford B. Hayes, Wyoming Monument speech, 1878. Teddy Roosevelt, Wyoming Monument speech, 1905. William Howard Taft, Chamber of Commerce dinner in 1915. Franklin D. Roosevelt, two visits in 1936 following the devastating ood. Harry S Truman, 1952, reason unknown. Richard M. Nixon, 1972 following the Agnes Flood.

Pennsylvanians are good people, very hospitable and friendly, he said. When I was a toddler, I could peek out the window and see my future wife in her cradle with no clothes on, he said of his wife of 67 years during a light moment of his speech. The comment drew a huge laugh from the crowd. Carter, a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, talked about The Carter Center and its worldwide mission of promoting peace and ghting disease in Third World countries. We deal with countries that arent all that friendly toward the United States, he said. We want to alleviate suffering in the world. The former president said The Carter Center has fought six preventable diseases Guinea worm, river blindness, trachoma, schistosomiasis, lymphatic lariasis and malaria by using health education and low-cost prevention methods. Carter said trachoma is prevalent in poor, rural communities that lack the tools for basic hygiene clean water and adequate sanitation. Infections are spread through contact with dirty clothes and hands, and ies attracted to peoples eyes. In the advanced stage of the disease, called trichiasis, a persons eyelashes turn inward, scraping the cornea with every excruciating blink, causing scarring, diminished vision and, eventually, blindness, Carter said. He said the center has built nearly 3 million household latrines to reduce the breeding sites for the ies. Im known as the No. 1 latrine builder in the entire world, he said with a smile. The center also has dramatically reduced the number of

Guinea worm cases, from 3.5 million cases to under 500. Carter said the center takes on projects nobody else will touch and he said the results have had a dramatic impact worldwide. Carter is the third U.S president to speak at the Wyoming Monument, a memorial to the lives lost in the Battle of Wyoming the Revolutionary Warera battle of July 3, 1778, during which 277 area residents were killed. Remains of the dead are interred at the site. Presidents Theodore Roosevelt (1905) and Rutherford B. Hayes (1878) also spoke at the monument. Carter, a Baptist who teaches Bible stories every Sunday in his hometown, advocates peace. Our country should be the champion of justice and for equality of opportunity, he said. America should always promote human rights and freedom around the world. Carter talked about a recent gathering of ve U.S. presidents at the dedication of the George W. Bush Library in Texas. He

I havent been back there since. U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton, didnt attend the speech, but he issued a welcoming statement to the Carters. He is the third president of the United States to visit the Wyoming Monument a tribute to those who lost their lives in the pursuit of freedom, Casey said. President Carter is a living testament to public service, and we are honored by his visit. Carter served as president from 1977 to 1981. He and his wife were in the area in 2011 with the Cooks, owners of Cook & Cook Estate Liquidators in Plains Township. Wyoming Mayor Bob Boyer said he was proud to have the Carters in his town and declared Tuesday as Jimmy Carter Day in the borough. He introduced two Wyoming residents Jeanne Zano, who sang the national anthem and Abby Barhight who sang God Bless America. Today we all witnessed history, said Larry Cook. We asked for an historic speech and we got one today. Wyoming Borough Mayor Bob Boyer said he was honored to have the Carters in his town. An event like this renews interest in history, he said. And it feels good to see the community come out to support us. In his introduction of the Carters, Larry Cook of Cook & Cook Estate Liquidators in Plains Township, said the former president and rst lady are true champions of human rights, peace and freedom. He said he was proud to call them friends. Boyer acknowledged Wyoming resident Florence Jumper who will turn 100 years old on Thursday. Yeah, Im here, Jumper yelled from the crowd. Asked what was her secret to longevity, she said, My mother raised me right. The Carters and the other 500 attendees laughed and wished Jumper a happy birthday.

Marcella Starr, president of the Wyoming Monument Association, said she felt like she was living a dream. Starr has seen the monument restored through the generosity of several donors the largest gift coming from the late Dr. Joseph Mattioli and his wife, Rose, of $100,000. And Tuesday the 39th president spoke at the site and he even painted a picture of the monument that was to be auctioned off last night at a dinner at the Stegmaier Mansion in Wilkes-Barre. The monument has been restored for future generations, Starr said. I never thought I would see this in my lifetime. And I am very proud to have President and Mrs. Carter here to speak. They could have chosen from many other historical sites.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Tim Duncan is so close to his rst NBA championship in six long years that the Spurs star isnt worried about the little issue of being rusty once the nals actually start. My sole focus is trying to get this done, trying to get another
championship, Duncan said. I dont care records; I dont care age. I dont care any of that stuff. I just want to do what I have to do to try to win a championship. San Antonio ended its six-year drought between NBA Finals by nishing a sweep of the Memphis Grizzlies 93-86 on Monday night for its fth Western Conference title. The rst sweep in a conference nal since the Nets beat Detroit in 2003 also earned the Spurs a nine-day break before Game 1 of the nals June 6. Duncan said the benet will be

the Spurs should be completely healthy with their legs underneath them. Were going to be a little rusty starting the rst game its just how it is, Duncan said. Were going to try to gure out how to practice, how to stay sharp. But bottom line, were going to be a little rusty. Hopefully, we can shake that off real quick and get right back to our rhythm.
All the Spurs worked hard to be just four wins away from adding a title to those won in 1999, 2003, 2005 and 2007. Duncan was the MVP of the rst three of those nals, but hes now 37 and wrapping up his 16th season. Tony Parker said hes been doing his best to get Duncan back to this point for what might be the 6-foot-11 forwards nal chance at a championship. He promised Duncan they would return after blowing a 2-0 lead in the conference nals a year ago

Were really in a best-ofve series with home ice advantage, said head coach The Penguins John Hynes. We want to take face the Crunch advantage of that. at Mohegan Sun Still, it wont be easy. Arena tonight The Crunch have yet to and Friday in the Eastern Conferlose on the road in the playence nals. offs and during the regular season they had the second-best road record in the AHL. Thats why it was crucial that the Penguins came away with at least a split from the rst two games in Syracuse. Id take that any day, said Brian Dumoulin. That was a very big split up in Syracuse and having three games at home helps us out a lot. It also helps that, with Games 3 and 4 at home, the Penguins dont have to worry about all the logistics of being on the road for the next several days. Its nice to be home and not have to worry about hotels and stuff like that, Dumoulin said.

NORFOLK, Va. For a period of time during the offseason Hazletons Russ Canzler was a member of the Yankees organization and could have been a RailRider this season. But he was shortly designated for assignment and latched on with TIdES Baltimore. On Tuesday, playing for Baltimores Triple-A RAILRIdERS afliate in Norfolk, the rst baseman helped the Tides beat S cranton/Wilkes-Barre 10-8 going 3-for-5, including a home run and a goahead RBI single in the bottom of the eighth of a wild game that consisted of three lead changes at Harbor Park. The Tides trailed 7-6 entering the bottom of the eighth. But Canzler came through with a two-out single scoring Jason Pridie to tie the game at 7-7. Three batters later, Norfolks Zelous Wheeler doubled scoring a pair to put the Tides ahead 10-7. All four runs in the inning were charged to RailRiders reliever Cody Eppley (2-2), who lasted just 2/3 of an inning allowing two walks and three hits.

He is our starting quarterback. He started in a national championship game. But were very fortunate we have experienced quarterbacks in Tommy Rees and Andrew Hendrix. Kelly said Rees and Hendrix both have a strong understanding of his offense, and freshman Malik Zaire, who enrolled in January, picked up a lot during

You can get back to the normal routine you had in the regular season. But perhaps the biggest benet of playing at home is the fans. Dumoulin recalled the energy that the boisterous home crowd generated during the Providence series and the Penguins are hoping for the same thing tonight. We did a lot of work last series to get the chance to play again and give our fans more hockey to watch, said winger Paul Thompson. Theyve been great to us so far and hopefully we can use playing at home to our advantage.
Notes
Syracuse top scorer and AHL MVP Tyler Johnson didnt practice on Tuesday and his status for tonights game remains unknown. Hynes said Johnsons status doesnt impact his gameplan for tonight. Johnson was injured when he and Chad Kolarik collided in the third period of Game 2. Both players had to be helped off the ice. They have a good team, its not just one player, Hynes said. Hes certainly a guy were aware of a dynamic player, but it doesnt change much for us. We have to be more concerned about how we play and as the games go on we have to make adjustments on certain guys or certain situations. While the first two games saw plenty of physical play, the big hits havent been as prevalent as they were in the Providence series. But that could change. They were very competitive games not a lot of time and space by either team, Hynes

Before one out was recorded in the game by RailRiders starter Brett Marshall, the Tides were up 3-0. Marshall walked the rst batter of the game. Then after allowing a single to Brandon Wood, Ryan Flaherty hit a three-run homer to leftcenter for a 3-0 score.

Mesa scored on a groundout by Corban Joseph. Then Thomas Neal doubled home Addison Maruszak before scoring on a double by Zoilo Almonte for a 3-3 score. A Brandon Wood run-scoring single in the bottom of the fourth gave Norfolk the lead back at 4-3. But Almonte came through again in the top of the fth with an RBI single of his own to even the score again. Canzler then blasted his eighth home run of the season in the fth as part of a two-run frame for the Tides as they took the lead back, 6-4. The RailRiders continued to battle scoring a run in the top of the eighth on Josh Bells rst home run of the season.

said. There wasnt as many big hits or pounding hits like the Providence series, but theres not time and space. Theres more bumps and rub-outs than the eye-catching hits. The Penguins signed defensemen Scott Harrington and Olli Maatta to amateur tryout
agreements on Tuesday. Both players join WilkesBarre/Scranton after reaching the 2013 Memorial Cup with the Ontario Hockey League champion London Knights. Harrington was Pittsburghs second-round pick in 2011 while Maatta was a rst round selection in 2012. Hynes said both could see action in the playoffs. When you get the opportunity to work with real high-end prospects rst turning pro, its nice to have them. Theres a possibility those guys will be in the lineup. Another prospect is expected to join the Penguins soon as well, as Hynes said defenseman Derrick Pouliot, a 2012 rst round pick (eighth overall), will join the team at some point. On the injury front, Kolarik practiced on Tuesday and Hynes said he is ne. Winger Bobby Farnham is also ready to return to game action, while D Dylan Reese and C Jayson Megna are considered day-to-day.

This date in baseball Compiled By PAUL MONTELLA,By The Associated Press 1916 Christy Mathewson defeated the Boston Braves 3-0 for the New York Giants 17th consecutive road win. 1922 The U.S. Supreme Court ruled organized baseball was primarily a sport and not a business, and therefore not subject to antitrust laws and interstate commerce regulations. The suit had been brought by the Federal Leagues Baltimore franchise. 1928 Bill Terry hit for the cycle to lead the New York Giants to a 12-5 win over Brooklyn at Ebbets Field. Terry became the first player in major league history to include a grand slam as part of the cycle. 1942 New Yorks Lefty Gomez self-described as the worst-hitting pitcher in baseball banged out four hits while pitching a 16-1 four-hitter against Washington. 1946 In a reverse integration role, Edward Klep became the first white to play in the Negro leagues in a game played in Grand Rapids. Klep pitched seven innings for the Cleveland Buckeyes against the American Giants in his debut with the Negro American League team. 1956 Dale Long went hitless for the Pirates, ending his major league record streak of home runs in eight consecutive games. The Brooklyn Dodgers beat Pittsburgh, 10-1. 1965 Philadelphias Richie Allen hit a 529-foot home run over the roof of Connie Mack Stadium off Chicagos Larry Jackson in the Phillies 4-2 victory. 1976 Houstons Joe Niekro was the winning pitcher and hit a home run off his brother, Phil Niekro. The Astros beat the Atlanta Braves 4-1. It was the only home run hit by Joe in his 22-year major league career. 1990 Oaklands Rickey Henderson broke Ty Cobbs 62-year-old American League stolen base record, but the Toronto Blue Jays still beat the Athletics 2-1. Hendersons 893rd steal came in the sixth inning. 2000 Oakland second baseman Randy Velarde turned the 10th unassisted triple play in regular-season history during a 4-1 loss to the New York Yankees. With runners on first and second in motion, Shane Spencer hit a line drive to Velarde who caught the ball, tagged out Jorge Posada (running from first) and stepped on second to beat Tino Martinez. 2002 Roger Clemens recorded the 100th double-digit strikeout game of his career, fanning 11 in seven innings against Chicago. Nolan Ryan (215) and Randy Johnson (175) were the others to have 100 double-digit strikeout games. 2002 In an article in Sports Illustrated magazine former NL MVP Ken Caminiti stated that about 50 percent of current major league players used some form of steroids. 2003 Colorado, behind Todd Heltons three home runs and Ron Belliards five hits beat the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers 12-5. Helton added a single and drove in six runs. 2010 Philadelphias Roy Halladay threw the 20th perfect game in major league history, beating the Florida Marlins 1-0. It was the first time in the modern era that there were a pair of perfect games in the same season. Halladay faced three Marlins pinch-hitters in the ninth. Mike Lamb led off with a long fly ball, Wes Helms struck out, and Ronny Paulino to hit a grounder to third for the 27th out. Halladay struck out 11 and went to either 3-1 or 3-2 counts seven times, twice in the games first three batters alone. Todays birthdays: Trevor Rosenthal 23; Jerry Hairston Jr. 37.
BOSTON Cliff Lee pitched eight innings of four-hit ball and Jonathan Papelbon earned his rst save at Fenway Park as a Red Sox opponent on Tuesday night, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 3-1 victory over Boston. Michael Young and Domonic Brown homered for the Phillies, and Erik Kratz singled in the tiebreaking run in the seventh inning to snap Bostons four-game winning streak. Lee (6-2) allowed a rst-inning run and then retired 22 of the next 23 batters to win his fourth consecutive decision. He struck out eight to match his season high and walked none. Ryan Dempster (2-6) allowed two runs on six hits and three walks, striking out four in seven innings for Boston. Papelbon pitched a perfect ninth for his 10th save. The Red Sox closer from 2005-11 including their 2007 World Series title he entered to a chorus of boos and without the theme song Shipping up to Boston he used for much of his career here. But he retired the Red Sox in order, pumping his st in celebration after getting David Ortiz on a grounder to the right side of the shifted ineld to end the game. That was all the support Lee needed on a night when he again helped the Phillies stop a losing streak. Philadelphia had lost two straight, including Monday nights 9-3 Red Sox victory in the opener of the twogame interleague series. Lee is 5-1 this season in eight starts following a Phillies loss. The teams now head to Philadelphia for a two-game series at Citizens Bank Park. Young cleared the Green Monster in the top of the rst, but the Red Sox tied it when Jacoby Ellsbury led off the bottom half with a single, stole second and then scored on Dustin Pedroias single. Both pitchers settled down, and it was still 1-all when John Mayberry Jr. singled to lead off the seventh, Freddy Galvis bunted him to second and Kratz singled him home. Braves 7, Blue Jays 6, 10 innings TORONTO Brian McCann hit two home runs, including a solo shot in the 10th inning that lifted the Atlanta Braves over the Toronto Blue Jays 7-6 on Tuesday. McCann and rookie Evan Gattis hit back-to-back homers off Ramon Ortiz in the sixth, giving the Braves a 6-5 lead. The Blue Jays tied it on J.P. Arencibias RBI double in the seventh. McCann connected for a leadoff drive in the 10th against Thad Weber (0-1) for his sixth home run. It was McCanns rst multihomer game of the season and the ninth of his career. Cory Gearrin (2-1) pitched one inning for the win. Craig Kimbrel celebrated his 25th birthday by nishing for his 16th save in 19 chances. Rockies 2, Astros 1 HOUSTON Michael Cuddyer had three hits, including an RBI single in the ninth inning that gave the Colorado Rockies a 2-1 win over the Houston Astros in interleague play on Tuesday. Troy Tulowitzki doubled off Houston closer Jose Veras (0-4) to start the ninth and advanced
to third on a wild pitch. Cuddyer followed with his single, which sailed just out of reach of leaping third baseman Matt Dominguez. Tulowitzki had an RBI single in the rst. Chris Carter tied it in the fourth with an RBI grounder. Cardinals 4, Royals 1 KANSAS CITY, Mo. Carlos Beltran hit a two-run homer against his former team, rookie Tyler Lyons made another dazzling start and the St. Louis Cardinals beat Kansas City 4-1 on Tuesday night for the Royals 10th consecutive home defeat. The only two hits that Lyons allowed over seven innings were to Billy Butler a two-out RBI double in the rst inning and a bloop single in the seventh. Otherwise, the left-hander shut down an anemic Kansas City offense to improve to 2-0 in his week-old major league career. Trevor Rosenthal pitched the eighth inning in a driving rain for St. Louis, and Edward Mujica breezed through a perfect ninth for his 16th save of the season. Matt Carpenter and Matt Holliday added solo homers in the sixth off the Royals Ervin Santana (3-5) as the Cardinals (34-17) improved to a major league-best 20-9 on the road. Reds 8, Indians 2 CINCINNATI Xavier Paul singled home a pair of runs in the rst inning, and the Cincinnati Reds completed a twogame home sweep of the Cleveland Indians with an 8-2 victory on Tuesday night that was free of any up-and-in acrimony. The intrastate rivals headed to Cleveland for two more games. The Indians lead the alltime series 42-41. The Reds have won 14 of their past 17 games overall, leaving them with the second-best record in the majors at 33-19. Cleveland has dropped ve straight, matching its season high. Mat Latos (5-0) handled a slumping lineup, allowing one run in 6 1-3 innings. Pauls two-run single put the Reds up 3-0 in the rst against Zach McAllister (4-4). Two Reds were hit by a pitch, but went to rst without complaint or umpires warning. Rays 7, Marlins 6 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Desmond Jennings drove in the winning run with a two-out single in the bottom of the ninth inning Tuesday night, lifting the Tampa Bay Rays to a 7-6 victory over the Miami Marlins. The Rays came back from an early 4-0 decit and won their third in a row. Miami lost its seventh straight game. Nationals 9, Orioles 3 WASHINGTON Adam LaRoche homered twice and drove in four runs, and the Washington Nationals enjoyed a rare offensive outburst at the expense of the Baltimore Orioles in a 9-3 victory Tuesday night. LaRoche, Tyler Moore and Roger Bernadina connected off Orioles rookie Kevin Gausman (0-2). LaRoche added a solo shot in the eighth off Troy Patton. It added up to Washingtons highest-scoring performance since a 10-3 win over Miami on April 15. The Nationals hadnt scored more than seven runs in 29 games since April 25.

NEW YORK Joba Chamberlain was activated from the disabled list Tuesday by the New York Yankees, and injured inelders Mark Teixeira and Kevin Youkilis might not be far behind. Chamberlain was back in the bullpen for the second Subway Series game against the New York Mets after missing a month with a strained muscle on his right side. To make room on the roster, left-hander David Huff was designated for assignment. Teixeira and Youkilis both got ve at-bats Tuesday during an extended spring training game in Florida, then headed out to begin their rehab assignments Wednesday with Double-A Trenton. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said its possible both could be ready to rejoin the team after two games in Trenton. That would make them available for the start of a three-game series against rival Boston that begins Friday. The Red Sox entered Tuesday with a one-game lead in the AL East over New York. Teixeira has been sidelined since early March by a right wrist injury. Youkilis has missed almost 30 games with a lumbar spine sprain. Huff had just been added to the roster Sunday, one day after he was claimed off waivers from Cleveland. He pitched in one game for the Yankees, allowing one run in one inning against Tampa Bay. Before getting hurt, Chamberlain had been used primarily in the seventh inning, a role that has since been lled nicely by other relievers such as Shawn Kelley and Preston Claiborne. Everybodys throwing the ball well, so just to be able to be in the mix with those guys down there, its been fun to watch. And now to be a part of it, its going to be even better, Chamberlain said. Ive been in every situation, so theres not going to be any situation that catches me off guard, and I think thats my advantage. Obviously, whatever inning it is and whatever situation, Im going to be ready to go and look forward to it. Girardi said he plans to use Chamberlain the way he did before the injury. I anticipate Joba getting there. Well see how we use him right away, Girardi said. Sometimes when a guy comes back from an injury you kind of want to kind of work him back slowly, but well see what the opportunity is. In other injury news, Andy Pettitte threw 75 pitches during a ve-inning simulated game, his rst game-type action since going on the 15-day disabled list May 17 because of a strained muscle in his upper back. If he feels ne Wednesday, the lefthander could return to the big league rotation early next week. Third baseman Alex Rodriguez, coming back from hip surgery in January, has resumed taking on-eld batting practice as he moves into his fourth week of baseball activities. Eduardo Nunez, who had been lling in at shortstop for injured Derek Jeter, was kept off the eld as he tries to heal a strained muscle on his left side. Nunez felt discomfort during batting practice Saturday and was shut down. Girardi said right-hander Michael Pineda was throwing well at extended spring training but was taken out of the game because of a cracked nail. Pineda, an All-Star as a rookie in 2011, is coming back from right shoulder surgery that sidelined him all of last season. He has not pitched for the Yankees yet after being acquired from Seattle in a trade after the 2011 season.

OMAHA, Neb. A heartbreaking loss to end the 2012 season was all North Carolinas baseball team needed for motivation. The Tar Heels (52-8) turned last years disappointment into the best regular season in program history and a sweep through the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. Now theyre the No. 1 seed in this years NCAA tournament. But for all the success, coach Mike Fox said, they know theyre assured of nothing in the NCAAs. The Tar Heels learned that lesson when a bad-hop grounder over second baseman Tommy Coyle produced the goahead run in a home loss to St. Johns in a 2012 regional nal. Its been that gnawing thing in the pit of your stomach, a bad feeling that never really goes away, Fox said Monday. Its a sinking, bad feeling. You can use that to motivate you or just to work a little bit harder. Its the way baseball is. It can change on one swing and one pitch. NCAA tournament selection committee chairman Dennis Farrell said North Carolina was awarded the No. 1 seed over Vanderbilt. Farrell said the difference between the teams bodies of work is so minuscule that he couldnt even point to the deciding factor. It really is kind of a marriage of art and science, he said. We get a lot of data put in front of us. We get advice from regional advisory committees. At the end of the day its a vote of 10 committee members. The tournament opens Friday with 16 four-team, double-elimination regionals. Best-of-three super-regionals will be held next week, with those winners moving to the College World Series in Omaha. The national seeds behind North Carolina and Vanderbilt, in order, are: Oregon State, LSU, Cal State Fullerton, Virginia, Florida State and Oregon. The Tar Heels open against Canisius (42-15), which is in the tournament for the rst time after winning the MAAC postseason title. Vanderbilt (51-9) looked to have a good shot at earning the No. 1 seed after winning a record 26 regular-season games in Southeastern Conference play. The Commodores feature pitcher Tyler Beede, who is unbeaten in 14 decisions. The SEC led all conferences with a record-tying nine bids. The ACC has eight, and the Pac-12 and Sun Belt have four apiece. Arizona (34-21) wont get a chance to defend its national title. The Wildcats were left out of the tournament for the rst time in four years. Miami (36-23) is in the tournament eld for the 41st straight year, extending its own record. Along with Canisius, rst-time participants will be Bryant, Central Arkansas, Savannah State and South Dakota State. Bryant, from Smitheld, R.I., made it in its rst year of eligibility since moving from Division II.

days if she goes the distance. Among the winners Tuesday were 2010 French Open runner-up and 2011 U.S. Open champion Sam Stosur, who beat 42-year-old Kimiko DateKrumm of Japan 6-0, 6-2. It was spitting a little bit when we went out there, Stosur said. You think, Oh, are we going to start or are we not? Lucky for me, I was able to nish the match before this last downpour came. Another Australian, Bernard Tomic whose father was barred from Roland Garros after being accused this month of head-butting Tomics hitting partner stopped because of a torn right hamstring while trailing Victor Hanescu 7-5, 7-6 (8), 2-1. Three other men retired during matches: No. 28 Florian Mayer (right thigh), Alejandro Falla (stomach problems), Simone Bolelli (right wrist).
Rees is the most experienced quarterback. He started 12 of 13 games in 2011, when Notre Dame went 8-5, and played key roles in four victories last season when Golson either struggled or was injured. But part of the reason Rees lost the starting job last season was he threw 14 interceptions and lost ve fumbles in 2011. Kelly said Rees knows what he needs to do to start, and knows he cant be turning the ball over. He was a huge part of our undefeated season. Hes going to be a part of this season as well. He knows what we expect of him on a day-to-day basis, he said. But he also added that no one who throws interceptions is going to keep the job long. Hendrix has played in eight games the past two seasons, completing 23-of-44 passes for 304 yards with two interceptions and one touchdown. Hes also rushed the ball 33 times for 203 yards. Kelly said he liked what he saw from Zaire in the spring. Were very encouraged and believe he has an opportunity to have a great future, but its really too early to tell, he said. Kelly said he expects Golson to be back in 2014, but said its too early to say whether he will be the starter. Golsons former coach at Myrtle Beach High School, Mickey Wilson Jr., had similar thoughts, saying the QBs hometown fans have faith in him. We believe he will learn from this and continue to grow as a young man both on and off the eld, he said in an email. Kelly said no other schools have contacted Notre Dame about the possibility of Golson transferring. He also said he didnt try to contact Gunner Kiel, one of the top-rated quarterbacks coming out of high school a year ago, who transferred from Notre Dame to Cincinnati at the end of the spring semester.

IRVING, Texas Anthony Hargrove trudges through mundane conditioning drills while the Dallas Cowboys conduct more spirited offseason workouts on the same elds. The nine-year veteran defensive end is still getting into practice shape because he sat out the 2012 season after he was among four players suspended in the New Orleans bounty scandal. Hargrove never actually lost his right to play because his eight-game ban was appealed, reduced and eventually vacated. But he says the phone never rang after Green Bay released him in training camp last year. Maybe it was the specter of a suspension hanging over him. Or maybe it was missing the entire 2008 season over a violation of the leagues substanceabuse policy. Maybe Im an enigma for trouble, Hargrove said. Im es. If wrestling is reinstated in September, that will defeat the IOCs original goal of bringing in a new sport. Wrestling, a sport with a tradition dating to the ancient Olympics, has gone through a major upheaval since it was dropped by the IOC in February. Lalovic was elected FILA president, women and athletes were brought into decisionmaking roles, and the sport adopted a series of rule changes designed to make wrestling more fan-friendly and easier to understand. Among the changes, matches will consist of two 3-minute sessions instead of three 2-minute periods, and scoring will be cumulative instead of the previous best-of-three system.
trying to get past this three-year thing where I can maybe get ve years in the league without losing a year. The 29-year-old Hargrove rst wanted to break the football cycle when it became clear another opportunity wasnt coming quickly. He spent a
couple of months caring for mentally challenged adults at a group home, doing everything from cooking and cleaning to teaching basic life skills. The look in his eye and the carefully chosen words say Hargrove certainly didnt think he was treated fairly by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, but his choice for something to do away from the game made acceptance a little easier. Its easy to feel bad for yourself because so much stuff happens to you, said Hargrove, who lost his mother to AIDS at age 9 and never had a relationship with his father. But when youre able to sit down with someone whos much less fortunate than you are, life denitely comes in place. You understand, Hey, my life isnt that bad. Hey, at least I can get up and I can walk every day. After an appeals panel threw out Goodells suspensions just before the 2012 season started, the commissioner restored a full-season ban for linebacker

Jonathan Vilma and a four-game suspension for defensive end Will Smith. Goodell cut Hargroves ban to seven, but it amounted to just a pair of games because he was given credit for ve games missed as a free agent. Linebacker Scott Fujitas suspension was reduced from three games to one. Two months later, all the
suspensions were vacated by former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, who found fault with everyone from Goodell to the players. The way last year unfolded, nothing was surprising from anyone, responses from anything, Hargrove said. Im putting it behind me. Im trying to move forward, and thats all I can do at the end of the day.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) Sports bidding for inclusion in the 2020 Olympics. Baseball-Softball Now united as the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) after IOC vote defeats in 2005 and 09. Then, both ran for inclusion as separate Olympic sports. Bid proposes separate mens baseball and womens softball events of eight teams each, played as back-to-back six-day tournaments. With 296 total athletes, would add substantially to the overall Summer Games quota compared to other bidding sports. Both were last played at 2008 Beijing Games having gained full medal status at the 1992 Barcelona Games (baseball) and 1996 Atlanta Games (softball). Both were dropped from the 2012 program in a 2005 vote, then failed to be readmitted four years later when IOC members chose golf and seven-a-side rugby. Baseball previously criticized for not delivering top players to the Olympics. Unlike the NHLs concession to the Winter Games, MLB commissioner Bud Selig says the season wont be stopped to free players for the Sum-
or sports to recommend to the IOC general assembly for a nal vote Sept. 8 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The IOC board will likely select three or four nalists. Wrestling, squash and karate have been cited as strong contenders. Mens baseball and womens softball, which have been off the program since the 2008 Beijing Games, have merged into a single federation to improve their chances. The addition of wrestling to the mix has not gone over well with all the sports, who feel that it is overshadowing the contest and reducing their own chanc-
mer Games. Karate Another third-time candidate after missing out in the 2005 and 09 IOC votes. Came very close in 2005 when, along with squash, just failed to get support from two-thirds of IOC members in the nal round. Four years later, golf and seven-a-side rugby were voted on to the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games program. Roller Sports Like karate and squash, roller sports is back for a third consecutive bid. Olympic proposal features only inline skating speed races where athletes reach speeds up to 37 mph. Sports Climbing First-time bidder that proposes an event combining the three disciplines of speed climbing, lead climbing and bouldering. Squash Looked like the clear favorite until February, when wrestling joined this contest after being dropped by the IOC board as a core sport in Olympic program. Just missed Olympic status in 2005 and then in 09, when golf and seven-a-side rugby were voted on.
Wakeboarding A rst-time candidate hoping to prot from the IOCs wish to appeal to young athletes and audiences. Bid proposed by the International Waterski and Wakeboard Federation, founded in 1936 and now with almost 100 member countries. World championships held since 2000. Wrestling Strong contender after the original Olympic sport was stunningly rejected in February. The IOC board had been predicted to drop modern pentathlon from the core program at the 2020 Summer Games. Even the ofcial IOC website acknowledges with the possible exception of track and eld, wrestling is recognized as the worlds oldest competitive sport. Governing body FILA reacted quickly to the IOC snub, which was seen as punishing complacent leadership as well as failings with the freestyle and Greco-Roman disciplines. Wushu Another martial art, though wushu is proposing the noncombat artistic discipline for Olympic approval. A likely outsider that would perhaps have a stronger chance going by its better known name of kung fu.

PHOENIX One of the most popular Phoenix Suns players from the franchises past will guide the team to an uncertain future. At the news conference on Tuesday announcing his hiring as Suns coach, Jeff Hornacek spoke at length about his readiness for the job and the inuences that will guide him. Ive always felt that Ive been a coach, he said. My dad was a coach, so Ive been around basketball since I was 5 years old. Hornacek played the rst six of his 14 NBA seasons with the
Suns. He was traded to Philadelphia in the Charles Barkley deal, then went to Utah, where he found great success as the backcourt teammate of John Stockton. Hornacek retired from playing to spend more time with his family, then eased into coaching, rst as a shooting instructor in Utah, then since 2011 as a full-time assistant with the Jazz. His coaching style, he said, would be heavily inuenced by his days playing for Cotton Fitzsimmons in Phoenix and Jerry Sloan in Utah. He went through a whos who list of the best Suns play-
ers in the past, from Gar Heard to Walter Davis, Alvin Adams, Kevin Johnson, Barkley and Steve Nash.
ATLANTA The Atlanta Hawks hired longtime Spurs assistant Mike Budenholzer as their head coach, giving the team another link to San Antonios championship tradition. General manager Danny Ferry called on his past experience with San Antonio to select Budenholzer to replace Larry Drew as coach. Drews contract expires in June following three seasons as coach.

LOS ANGELES Justin Williams scored two goals in the second period, and the Los Angeles Kings advanced to kINgS the Western Conference nals with a 2-1 ShARkS victory over the San Jose
California series, and the fthseeded Kings barely rode their home-ice advantage to victory in their rst potential elimination game in the last two years. Antti Niemi stopped 16 shots, and Dan Boyle scored early in the third period for the Sharks, who fell just short of their third trip to the conference nals in four years.
ing to fend off Miamis continual comebacks. But with Indiana leading 8172 early in the fourth, Miami answered with a 14-2 run that gave the Heat an 86-83 lead. Indiana tied the score on Paul Georges three-point play and erased the Miami lead by closing the game on a 16-6 run. Indiana was in desperation mode and it showed. Bodies crashed to the ground all night. An angry George uncharacteristically smacked the oor after being called for a foul in the third quarter, leading to a technical foul on coach Frank were going to play. It wont be easy to remain in the rhythm that the Spurs used to drive repeatedly to the basket and pick apart Memphis on the pick-and-roll. Trying to keep that rhythm and stay in shape over the next week will not be fun, Bonner said. But this is where all the experience Duncan, Ginobili and Parker have with coach Gregg Popovich will come into play. I cant say weve all been there before, but our three leaders have been in the nals multiple times, and theyre going to lead the way, Bonner said. That they have. The Spurs won the NBA title each of their previous four trips to the nals, and their win over Memphis improved them to 11-1 in closeout games since the 2007 postseason. Nobody in the NBA has been to the playoffs more than
Vogel. And the defense did a far better job against James and his high-scoring teammates. James nished 8 of 18 from the eld. But the Pacers did not get rattled. Instead, they answered every challenge Miami posed. When Miami used a 9-0 run to take a 60-54 lead early in the third quarter, Indiana answered immediately with a 10-0 run to regain the lead. When James committed an offensive foul with 2 seconds left in the third quarter, his rst turnover since the end of Game 2, the Pacers got a buzzer-beating 3 from Stephenson to make it 77-70. San Antonios current 16-year streak, and only the Detroit Red Wings in the NHL have had more consecutive postseason berths (22). Duncan and Popovich have been together for all of those 16 years, the longest in the NBA. Nobody currently in the league has won more games than Duncan, Ginobili and Parker, and their 458 wins have them fth all-time in the league as a trio.

to Oklahoma City, and speculation is picking up on whether this might be Duncans nal season in the NBA. I think everybody on the team, we really wanted to do it for him, Parker said. The Spurs now wait for Miami or Indiana to come out of the East after they swept two of their three opponents in the West. The Spurs took advantage of a three-day break in the conference nals to come into Memphis and beat a team that had lost only once on its home oor since Feb. 8. They could use some time off between games after a physical series with the Grizzlies. The Spurs helped clamp down on Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol with Duncan, Tiago Splitter, Matt Bonner and Boris Diaw all taking turns pushing the Grizzlies away from their favorite spots on the oor in disrupting their high-low game. It worked quite well the Spurs outscored Memphis in the paint in the nal three games. Randolph, who averaged at least 18 points in the rst two playoff series, averaged only 11 against San Antonio. I know our bigs, they have a lot of bruises, Parker said. So its going to be great to rest. I know Timmy and Manu (Ginobili), theyre going to love the rest, and were going to regenerate and get ready for whoever
DENVER Patrick Roy carefully contemplated the Colorado Avalanches sales pitch as he sank putts on a golf course in Florida. New team President Josh Kroenke was in his group, along with former teammate-turnedexecutive Joe Sakic, and they were teeing up an opportunity Roy simply couldnt turn down. Not again. Four years ago, the team asked him to come on board as coach. The Hall of Fame goalie just wasnt ready. This time around, the deal was sweetened a chance to coach and have a say in hockeyrelated decisions. He couldnt pass up this chance, agreeing last week to a four-year deal with a mutual option for a fth season. I was afraid in 2009, that maybe I missed one of best opportunities of my life, Roy said at his introductory news conference Tuesday. Here I am in
2013, same opportunity. I truly feel that sometimes, the biggest mistake were making as a coach is you want to go too fast. The ery goaltender has mellowed since his retirement a decade ago. Well, as much as he can anyway. Roy has been serving as coach and general manager for the
Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League over the last eight seasons, which he feels has prepared him for taking over as a rst-year NHL coach. But theres this hanging over his head: The stigma that great players dont make great coaches.

IN BRIEF Wal-Martpleadsguiltyforwaste
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. will pay $81 million after pleading guilty to criminal charges the company dumped hazardous waste across California, a company spokeswoman said Tuesday. Wal-Mart entered the plea in San Francisco federal court to misdemeanor counts of negligently dumping pollutants from its stores into sanitation drains across the state, spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said. As part of the plea, the company will pay the substantial ne that also will cover charges in Missouri. The plea agreements announced Tuesday end a nearly decade-old investigation involving more than 20 prosecutors and 32 environmental groups.
Tiffany & Co. reported a 3 percent increase in rst-quarter net income, fueled by solid sales improvement across the regions, particularly in Asia. The results, announced Tuesday, beat Wall Street expectations, and its shares briey rose to their highest level in almost two years in morning trading. Tiffany is a barometer of luxury spending so the latest results show the resilience among afuent shoppers despite economic challenges around the globe. Still, the company stuck to its prot outlook for the year, citing a weaker yen as well as ongoing weak sales in the North America region. The high-end jewelry company known for its blue boxes earned $83.6 million, or 65 cents per share, for the period ended April 30. Thats up from $81.5 million, or 64 cents per share, a year ago. Excluding costs tied to staff and occupancy cuts, earnings were 70 cents per share. This easily beat the 53 cents per share analyst expected.

The hoopla surrounding the return of Arrested Development on Netixs Internet video service has dissolved into a letdown on Wall Street. Netixs stock fell more than 6 percent in afternoon trading Tuesday as investors reacted to critics mixed reviews of the rst new Arrested Development episodes since the Fox broadcast network canceled the series seven years ago. Netix Inc. released all 15 episodes of the resurrected Arrested Development at the same time early Sunday.

AUSTIN, Texas Nike, which helped build Lance Armstrongs Livestrong cancer charity into a global brand and introduced its familiar yellow wristband, is cutting ties with the foundation in the latest fallout from the former cyclists doping scandal. The move by the sports shoe and clothing company ends a relationship that began in 2004 and helped the foundation raise more than $100 million, making the charitys bracelet an international symbol for cancer survivors. But the relationship soured with revelations of performance-enhancing drug use by Armstrong and members of his U.S. Postal Service team.
vorship programs. Armstrong, who started the charity in 1997 as the Lance Armstrong Foundation, was pushed off the board of directors in October and the organization later changed its formal name to Livestrong. In a statement, Livestrong ofcials said the foundation is deeply grateful to Nike. Together, we created new, revolutionary ways of thinking about how non-prots fuel their mission and were proud of that, the foundation said. A Nike spokesman did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment. Armstrong declined comment, noting he no longer has a relationship with Livestrong or Nike.

NEW YORK The founder of an online currency transfer business was indicted in the United States along with six other people in a $6 billion money-laundering scheme described as staggering in its scope, authorities said Tuesday. Arthur Budovsky is the founder of Liberty Reserve, a Costa Rica-based website long favored by cybercrime scammers. He was arrested in Spain on Friday. A defendant identied as Budovskys partner, Vladimir Kats, was in custody in New York. Authorities say the network proDOW 15,409.39

gotten gains, he said. The coin of the realm was anonymity, he said. It was the opposite of a know-your-customer policy. In a statement, Costa Rica police conrmed that Budovsky had been arrested in Spain on money laundering charges and that several premises linked to his company had been raided. A notice pasted across Liberty Reserves website Tuesday morning said the domain has been seized by the United States Global Illicit Financial Team. Attempts to reach Liberty Reserve by phone and email were not immediately successful.
WASHINGTON Americans are more condent in the U.S. economy than at any point in the past ve years, thanks to surging home values, a brighter job market and record-setting stock prices. Stock averages on Tuesday extended the years explosive rally. Further gains in consumer condence could help the economy withstand the effects of higher taxes and federal spending cuts that kicked in this year. Spending by consumers drives about 70 percent of economic growth. Consumer condence jumped in May to 76.2, the Conference Board, a private research group, said Tuesday. That was up from a reading of 69 in April and is the highest level of condence since February 2008, two months after the Great Recession ofcially began. A separate report Tuesday showed that U.S. home prices jumped 11 percent in March compared with a year ago, the sharpest 12-month increase since April 2006. Prices rose year over year in all 20 cities in the Standard & Poors/Case Shiller home price index. The reports helped fuel a rally on Wall Street. Traders were also encouraged by gains in overseas markets, especially in Japan and Europe. The Dow Jones industrial average was up about 95 points in midafternoon trading. Broader stock indexes also rose. The Dow has rocketed 18 percent this year. Surging stock prices and steady homeprice increases have allowed Americans to regain the $16 trillion in wealth they lost to the Great Recession. Some economists have said the increase in home prices alone could boost consumer spending enough to offset a Social Security tax increase thats reduced paychecks for most Americans this year. Thomas Feltmate, an economist with TD Economics, said cheaper gas has also helped consumers shrug off the higher Social Security tax. And the Conference Board survey said consumers are also more optimistic about the next six months. That should translate into greater consumer spending, substantial growth in hiring and faster economic growth in the second half of 2013, Feltmate said. The economy has added an average of 208,000 jobs a month since November. Thats well above the monthly average of 138,000 during the previous six months. The job growth has helped reduce the unemployment rate to a fouryear low of 7.5 percent.

IN SEASON: Snap, crackle, pop a few sugar snap peas into your mouth today
he calendar might not quite agree yet, but spring is on the outs, and summer is almost in. At least when it comes to seasonal fruits and vegetables, June says summer has arrived. What better way to greet it than with a plate full of sugar snap peas? Theyre cute and crisp and so much fun all on their own, but why not put some on the grill? If you ask me, the best way to enjoy sugar snaps is to line them up on a sheet of grill-safe foil, drizzle on a light coating of olive oil and a sprinkling of sea salt and toss the packet on the re. When the ends start to crisp and brown, add some Parmesan cheese shavings until hot and melty, and enjoy a few bites of pure bliss. Best of all? Ever read the nutritional information on a package of sugar snaps? Vitamins A, C, K and are abundant, and youll get potassium and iron, too. Sugars? Sure. Hence the name. But were talking natural, not processed, sugars, so who really cares? Sandra Snyder

Candy is key for these siblings. Amanda McGurk, 8, reaches for gummy worms as her brother Jonathan waits his turn to top at sweetFrog.

t looks like ice cream, especially when it comes out of self-serve wall dispensers in the traditional creamy twist. But frozen yogurt is often perceived as healthier than ice cream with its good bacteria, vitamins and minerals. And people feel healthier eating it. That might be part of the reason frozen yogurt is enjoying a resurgence across the country, with the Wyoming Valley no exception. Four new frozenyogurt businesses have opened in just under a year, and numbers ve and six are on the way. Plans are in place for a YoGo Factory, a national self-serve frozen-yogurt franchise, to open in the Gateway Shopping Center in Edwardsville next month, and a third location of Loco Yoco is in the works. It also might help that customers can now dispense their own favorite avors from chocolate and peanut butter to cake batter and cookie dough and add any of dozens of toppings blueberries, kiwi and other fresh fruit or what Theresa Vaccaro of Dallas calls the junk, toppers such as Reeses peanut butter cups, avored chips, sprinkles and the like.

Fresh sweet cherries recently reappeared in our area grocery stores. We wont see our local cherries until midsummer, but these cherries are still delicious and worth a try. Fresh cherries are one of my favorite snacks; they also are great in recipes from salads and savory meat dishes to desserts. When selecting cherries, always look at the stems to nd the freshest product. If the cherries have been picked recently, the stems will be bendable. If the stems are brittle, the cherries are older and may be past the desirable stage. If you are cooking or baking with cherries, you will need to pit them. If you want to keep your cherries whole when pitting, you may want to invest in a cherry pitter; it enables you to pop the pit out of a whole cherry very easily. You can start by removing the stems and rinsing the cherries in cold water. If you dont have a pitter, you can use a toothpick or even a clean, opened paper clip to help loosen and remove the pit from the stem opening. Be careful because the juice does stain. If you are cooking your cherries into a sauce, it might be easier just to cut them in half and scoop out the pit. This chocolate panna cotta is perfect accompaniment to the delicious sweet cherries.
CHOCOLATE PANNA COTTA TOPPED WITH PORT WINE CHERRIES Makes six servings. Ingredients PANNA COTTA 2 cups heavy cream 1 cup whole milk 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 envelope unavored gelatin 6 oz. quality chocolate (dark, bittersweet, milk or whichever you prefer) 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Pour the milk into a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin on top and let sit for 5 or 10 minutes until the gelatin is softened. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and sugar over medium heat, whisking and bringing just to a simmer (do not bring to a boil). Remove from heat, add the chocolate and the vanilla and whisk until combined. Add the milk/ gelatin mixture and continue to whisk until everything is well blended. Divide mixture among six dessert cups (you can use martini glasses, or you can use custard cups and ramekins as molds). If you are molding with a cup,

Cereal is yet another option think old, sweet favorites such as Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Capn Crunch as well as nuts, including walnuts and almonds. Customers can even combine two avors with the middle lever of each machine as well. Cookies and cream and chocolate in the same cup? Thats chocolate-covered Oreo. Wait, didnt frozen yogurt come and go, enjoying a peak in the 90s before dropping off the map almost entirely? For the record, Kingston attorney Nanda Palissery points out his Loco Yoco in Dallas was the original when it opened 11 months ago, and he has since opened a second location in March in West Pittston. He is working on a third, but he wont disclose where. We were the rst in the area, he said. The frozen-yogurt model has been around for many, many years, Palissery added. It just hadnt reached here until we decided to (open). TCBY (The Countrys Best Yogurt) and ICBIY (I Cant Believe Its Yogurt), which introduced the country to frozen yogurt in the 80s, did have stores in the Northeast, and TCBY still has a location on the Scranton-Carbondale Highway in Dickson City. But Palissery said what hurt TCBY was customers could not apply their own toppings. He said the company has been changing its business model to self-serve. From a business perspective, its not as labor-intensive and its better for children, he noted. Self-serve shops, all the rage these days, also are colorfully decorated, adding to the allages appeal. Jim Lane, operations manager for sweetFrog in WilkesBarre Township, said the Richmond, Va.-based chain opened its store in the Walmart plaza along Highland Park Boulevard in August. Its a hub for business, he said. Im sure what attracted them to the area was the volume of business. He said the sweetFrog chain has about 200 stores, mostly in the southern and western United States, but they are spreading northward. But the business does more than sell frozen yogurt. A Christian-based company Frog stands for Fully Rely on
Its about the toppings, baby. Froyo Mania in Wilkes-Barre offers a wide range of fresh fruits to up the health factor of a cup of fro yo.
Tracey McGurk and her children Jonathan, 6, Ryan, 2, and Amanda, 8, enjoy a frozen-yogurt treat inside the pastel-colored sweetFrog in Wilkes-Barre Township.
God it also does fundraisers for nonprots such as Autism Speaks and the Childrens Miracle Network, and for individuals, Lane said. A fourth frozen-yogurt business, Froyo Mania, opened along East Northampton Street in downtown Wilkes-Barre on May 15. Tom Truong saw his shop as lling a void in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Im from Florida, said Truong, whose family owns frozenyogurt and other businesses there. Theres one on every corner there. Up here, people are not as familiar with it. But he said business has been good, especially after lunch and dinner. Customers have even used frozen yogurt as their main
meal, he said. (For nutritional advice on that trend, read on.) As do his competitors, he offers multiple avors from tart, a favorite, to strawberry, chocolate, peanut butter and cookies and cream, and a multiple-choice lineup of fruit and candy toppings. Customers can decide just how sweet and decadent and caloric they want their frozen yogurt meal. Toppings range from freshly cut fruits, such as strawberries, kiwi and mango, along with blueberries and blackberries, to candy, such as peanut butter cups, Sno caps and Gummy Bears, to cereal such as Capn Crunch and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Another sought-after topper is popping pearls, colorful soft
pearls that, when chewed, release a burst of fruit juice. But, assuming a heavily topped treat, replete with candy or nuts, would frozen yogurt still qualify as healthy? Well, many shop owners and fro-yo fans like to point out that frozen yogurt is naturally non-fat or low-fat and often gluten-free. But nutrition experts will just as often counter that sugar content can still raise the calorie count quickly, even in plain yogurt. And toppings, of course, add even more to the numbers, with fruit delivering the least guilt and candy, nuts and granola the most. Yogurt fans also point to naturally occurring probiotics, which support the immune and
digestive systems, but, again, nutritionists often counter that such healthy bacteria often dont survive extreme temperatures and therefore wont last long enough to do the body good. Some shops are working on new techniques to make the good stuff last longer. In the meantime, healthy or not so much, takers apparently will still enjoy the new avors and the fun factor of the newly emerged help-yourself model. Loco Yoco in Dallas offers 10 avors; in West Pittston, 12, plus the twist combinations, which add ve more avor possibilities. Toppings total more than 30, including sauces, wafe cones, fresh fruit bought and sliced daily and, yes, popping pearls. For the lactose- and dairyintolerant or vegans, the businesses offer dairy-free sorbet, with avors such as key lime, mango or watermelon. Sugarfree frozen yogurt is another alternative. SweetFrog might top the
charts as far as avors go, offering 16 options and nearly 50 toppings. Terry OLeary of Drums, a regular there, likes to try various combinations. It just depends on whats there, she said. Her son Michael, of Hanover Township, said he prefers the sugar-free vanilla with kiwi and cherries on top. Theresa Vaccaro, who confessed an occasional giving-in to the junk, takes her young son and daughter to Loco Yoco in Dallas and likes the vanilla frozen yogurt with fresh fruit, though on Thursday she got a little crazy. I splurged, she said. Her choice toppings for the day? Peanut butter and toffee chips with her vanilla dessert. As for the little folks with her, 8-year-old Anthony said he likes cookies and cream with cookie-dough topping, while his sister, Gianna, 9, likes birthday-cake frozen yogurt with vanilla wafe topping.

wipe with a bit of vegetable oil before pouring in your mixture. Cover and chill for at least six hours or overnight. PORT WINE CHERRIES 1 pound fresh sweet cherries, stemmed and pitted (You also can use frozen.) 3/4 cup port wine 1/4-1/2 cup granulated sugar (based on sweetness of the cherries) If you are using frozen cherries, thaw before using. In a skillet, over medium high heat, combine the pitted cherries, port wine and sugar. I gauge the amount of sugar I use by the sweetness of the cherries; if the cherries are very sweet, I only use 1/4 cup of sugar; if they are not as sweet, I use a bit more sugar. Simmer until cherries are soft and the sauce has thickened 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cherries cool. Refrigerate until serving. Putting it all together: When serving, if using a mold, place the mold in a pan of warm water and run a knife along the edges of the panna cotta, unmold onto your dessert dish. Once

Confused teen who had sex with her boyfriend is now regretting it
Dear Abby: Im a 14-year-old girl who recently had sex with my boyfriend. It was the first time for both of us. A week and a half later, we had a big fight. Another problem is I am having a lot of feelings for his best friend, and he has feelings for me, too. I dont want to tell my boyfriend because I love him and dont want to lose him. I also dont want to ruin his friendship with the other guy. My boyfriend wants to have sex again, but I dont. I wish I could take it back. What can I do? Lost And Confused Dear Lost And Confused: Because
DEAR ABBY
ADVICE you had sex once does not mean you are compelled to do it again. Feeling as you do about the best friend is a strong sign that as much as you care for your boyfriend, you are not in love with him. If you are being pressured to have sex, its important for YOUR sake that you tell your boyfriend you feel it happened too soon, youre sorry you did it, and you have decided to wait until you are older to start again. It would be an intelligent move for you because your affections appear to be all over the map right now. I am also concerned because you
didnt mention whether you both used birth control. Its a sign of maturity when couples plan ahead and take precautions to avoid an unwanted pregnancy. (And yes, a girl CAN get pregnant the first time.) In fact, theres a word for teens who have sex on the spur of the moment and dont use birth control: Its PARENTS. Dear Abby: My friend is a compulsive talker. Chatty Cathy draws detailed descriptions of people I dont know and dont care about and lingers over past and current tribulations. I tolerate her behavior because shes a kind person, but she is oblivious to how much she dominates a conversation. Its like something compels her to fill every silence with monologue.
Her personal and work relationships suffer because of it. Its hard for her to hold a job, and she often becomes upset over this co-workers or that family members behavior. It is always the other persons failure, yet she is always in the center of the commotion. She has had a tough life, partly of her own making. If I try to send subtle cues of uninterest, she doesnt pick up on them and keeps talking and talking. I feel sorry for her. Is there anything I can do to help her, without seeming critical? Exhausted Listener in Hawaii Dear Exhausted: Not knowing your friend, I can only guess what drives her to talk compulsively. Some people do it because they feel
the need to prove to others how smart they are. Others do it out of nervousness or insecurity because they are uncomfortable with silence even if it is a momentary pause in conversation. Because her behavior has had a negative impact on her employability, the next time she mentions problems at work, it would be a kindness to suggest to her that, because its happening repeatedly, she discuss it with a psychologist. Thats not hurtful; its helpful.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU
CRYPTOQUOTE
HOROSCOPE
BY HoLidAY MATHis
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Theres a time to think and a time to act. Today represents the latter. Instead of thinking about life and how it should work, make a move and see how it really does work. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may feel pangs of envy for the frolicking lightness of being that is youth, but you wouldnt want to go back there. Knowing what you know, theres too much to love about where you are now. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The odds may be against completing the thing you wanted to do with this day, but youve never let numbers stop you before, and youre not about to start now. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Societys definition of whats acceptable is just not broad enough for you. Because your mind and heart are open, youll love deeper and experience greater highs and lows. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you put someone elses happiness and well-being before your own again and again, it may be because what makes you happiest is being strong enough to take care of those you love. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Gossip is dangerous when its false and even more dangerous when its true. Avoid participating in the rumor mill. Get the real story from the first source or not at all. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Desire changes you inside, and it changes the way the outside world feels to you, too. If you want very badly to accomplish something, it wont feel like work at all. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You long ago decided to start living the life of your imaginings, but it has taken some time for reality to catch up. Dont forget to celebrate each bit that comes into being when it happens. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are extraordinary. People who hardly know you can see that in you. So can the people who love you, though theyve come to expect your extraordinary nature. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Act not in spite of your fear but because of it. Your fear shows you where potential for greatness is hiding. It is a window shade over the window that has the very best view. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Youre worried about getting tricked by a mirage. Is there something emerging on the horizon, or are you being tricked by the elements? The best way to play it is to keep traveling forward until you know for sure. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have it all under control, though you might have to tell your stomach. Feeling a little anxious about the future is a good sign that your plans are the right size for you just big enough to challenge and motivate you. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May 29). You are vivacious, and youll live large this year. In matters of love, you look for freedom while someone wants your commitment. Youll come to a happy arrangement in July. In August, a strong male will influence the action. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 12, 39, 41 and 33.
