Average of $286 a month for a mid-range plan is 10th-lowest out of 47 states, according to figures
HARRISBURG The state House overwhelmingly passed a measure to mandate suicide-prevention training for some public school teachers. A bill cosponsored by several area representatives including Gerald Mullery, D-Newport Township, Karen Boback, R-Harveys Lake, and Sid Michaels Kavulich, D-Taylor was passed 194-3 on Tuesday. It calls for all sixth- through 12th-grade teachers in the state to receive four hours of Department of Education-approved suicide awareness and prevention training every ve years. The training would be part of professional continuing-education requirements. While student suicide and by extension, bullying have been hot-button issues statewide in recent years, locally the matter has been at the forefront. Last year around this time, the region was reeling after two Pittston Area School District teens and one from Hazleton Area took their own lives separately during a one-week span. They were the third, fourth and fth teen suicides of the year in Luzerne County. And while most had been credited, at least in part, to bullying, those claims were never completely founded.

An open casting call for series will be held at Mohegan Sun casino on Oct. 24
PLAINS TWP. Do you have what it takes to survive? CBS network afliate WYOU-TV will hold an open casting call for the hit reality show Survivor at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs on Oct. 24. Were very excited about this casting call, said Mike Bean, president and general manager of the facility, which has in the past hosted casting calls for other national programs, including the game show Wheel of Fortune. According to information on WYOUs website, PAHomepage.com, this edition of the long-running reality series will pit two teams of 10 castaways each against one another in the Caramoan Islands, a remote locale off the tip of a peninsula in the Philippines. Those 20 contestants will spend seven weeks in the remote setting, building their own shelter and nding their own food in a bid to win $1 million. All contestants must be at least 18 years old, although Alabama, Nebraska, Mississippi, Wyoming and the District of Columbia have higher minimum ages. Participants also must be U.S. citizens living in the United States, be in excellent physical and mental health, submit to a background check and may not be candidates for public ofce until after the initial broadcast of all programs in which they appear. Building shelter and nding food will be much more taxing than a trip to your local hardware store or supermarket, according to the eligibility requirements. Registration will be held 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the casinos Sky Bridge, with casting auditions to follow in the Seasons Ballroom. Eligibility requirements and applications can be found at http://www.pahomepage.com/castingcall-survivor or by calling Mark Prutisto at 570-706-7442.

Variables including income, family size, age, hometown and tobacco use could make the premiums dramatically different for people buying in the marketplace, also known as exchanges, which are a key part of President Barack Obamas signature health care law. Factoring in tax credits, a family of four in Pennsylvania with $50,000 in annual income will pay an average of $282 a month for a benchmark policy known as the second-lowestcost silver plan. It would cost $675 without the credits. A 27-year-old in Pennsylvania making $25,000 a year will pay on average $145 per month for the same policy, or $187 before the tax credit. The federal government is running Pennsylvanias marketplace because Gov. Tom Corbett declined to host a state-run exchange.

DALBADI, PAkIstAn
WASHINGTON Tea party conservative Sen. Ted Cruz ended his all-night talkathon to dismantle President Barack Obamas health care law after 21 hours and 19 minutes as legislation required to avert a partial government shutdown at midnight Monday easily cleared an initial Senate hurdle. Weary after a day and night on his feet, Cruz simply sat down at 12 noon EDT on Wednesday, the predetermined time for the Senate to adjourn, as several of his colleagues applauded. Senate Republicans and some House members congratulated the Texas freshman. Cruz actually joined every other senator in a 100-0 procedural vote to allow the measure
to ofcially be lain before the Senate. He says Republicans should rally against the measure in a vote scheduled Friday or Saturday on whether to cut off a libuster on the measure itself, a vote that promises to give Democrats controlling the chamber a procedural edge if Cruz is not successful in blocking them. Cruz wants to derail the spending bill to deny Democrats the ability to strip a defund Obamacare provision out, a strategy that has put him at odds with other Republicans who fear that the move would spark a shutdown. After the vote, Cruz told reporters he hopes that Republicans will listen to the people, and that all 46 Republicans come together. Coming into this debate we clearly were not united, there were signicant divisions in the conference. I hope those divisions dissolve, that we come together in party unity. He added: Otherwise, I will say this: Any senator who votes with Majority Leader
Harry Reid and the Democrats to give Majority Leader Harry Reid the ability to fund Obamacare on a pure 51-vote, party vote, has made the decision to allow Obamacare to be funded. The Senates top Democrat, Majority Leader Harry Reid, shrugged off Cruz effort. For lack of a better way of describing this, it has been a big waste of time, said Reid, D-Nev. Since Tuesday afternoon, Cruz with occasional remarks by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and other GOP conservatives has controlled the Senate oor and railed against Obamacare. At 10:41 a.m. EDT Wednesday, Cruz and his allies reached the 20-hour mark, the fourthlongest Senate speech since precise record-keeping began in 1900. That exceeded Marchs 12-hour, 52-minute speech by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., like Cruz a tea party lawmaker and potential 2016 presiden-

tial contender, and libusters by such Senate icons as Huey Long of Louisiana and Robert Byrd of West Virginia. In a reection of the limited GOP support for Cruz effort, no members of the Senate leadership came to the Texans aid. Cruz said he has learned that defying party leaders is sur-
vivable, adding, Ultimately, it is liberating and that his long evening involved sometimes some pain, sometimes fatigue. But he added, You know what? Theres far more pain in rolling over. Far more pain in not standing up for principle.

HARtFORD, COnn.
WASHINGTON The Washington Navy Yard gunman did not target specic individuals when he opened re inside a building, killing 12 people, and was under a delusional belief that he was being controlled by extremely low frequency electromagnetic waves, the FBI said Tuesday. Records recovered from Aaron Alexiss computer and cellphone reveal paranoia and mental health problems that authorities are investigating as the root cause. Ultra-low frequency attack is what Ive been subject to for the last 3 months, and to be perfectly honest that is what has driven me to this, read a document agents recovered from Alexis after the shooting. He had also written my ELF weapon an apparent reference to extremely low frequency waves
on a shotgun he used in the rampage. Alexis, a 34-year-old former Navy reservist and IT contractor, used a valid badge to access the Navy Yard on the morning of Sept. 16 with a sawed-off Remington shotgun he had purchased two days earlier. He was killed by a U.S. Park Police ofcer following a rampage and shootout that police now say lasted for about an hour. Authorities say Alexis had only recently started his job, and that although there was a routine performance-related issue addressed to him on the Friday before the shooting, theres no indication that he targeted particular co-workers or was motivated by problems in the workplace, said Valerie Parlave, head of the FBIs Washington eld ofce. There is no indication that this caused any sort of reaction from him. We have not determined there to be any previous relationship between Alexis

Michael Jackson died because of his own bad choices, not because of anything done by AEG Live, a lawyer for the producer of Jacksons comeback concerts told jurors Wednesday. Delivering his closing argument in the long-running negligence case by Jacksons family, defense attorney Marvin Putnam said the company did not know anything about Jacksons use of propofol as a sleep aid and did not hire Dr. Conrad Murray to be his physician for the This Is It shows in London. Putnam said Jackson and AEG Live both wanted the concerts to go forward but suggested the company would have pulled the plug on the tour if it had known Jackson was using propofol.

BEIRUT Nearly a dozen of Syrias powerful rebel factions, including one linked to al-Qaida, formally broke with the main opposition group in exile Wednesday and called for Islamic law in the country, dealing a severe blow to the Western-backed coalition. The new alliance is a potential turning point, entrenching the schism within the
rebellion and giving President Bashar Assad fuel for his long-stated contention that his regime is battling Islamic extremists in the civil war. The Turkey-based Syrian National Coalition the political arm of the Free Syrian Army rebel group has long been accused by those ghting inside Syria of being a puppet promoted by the West and Gulf Arab states supporting the Syrian rebellion. Wednesdays public rejection of the coalitions authority will likely be extremely damaging for its future in Syria, particularly at a time when the U.S. and Russia are pushing for peace talks. If the groups involved
stand by this statement, I think this could be a very big deal especially if it develops into a more-structured alliance instead of just a joint position, said political analyst Aron Lund. It basically means that some of the biggest mainstream Islamist forces within the so-called FSA are breaking up with the political leadership appointed for them by the West and Gulf states, to cast their lot with more hard-line and anti-Western Islamists, he said. The announcement came less than two weeks after the coalition elected an interim prime minister, Ahmad Touma, charging him with
organizing governance in opposition-held territories that have descended into chaos and inghting. In a joint statement, 11 rebel groups that are inuential in Aleppo province in the north, including Jabhat al-Nusra, which is listed as a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department, said they rejected the authority of the Syrian National Coalition as well as Toumas appointment. A video on the Internet showed Abdel-Aziz Salameh, political chief of the Liwaa alTawheed brigade that is particularly strong in the northern city of Aleppo, reading the statement.
NEW YORK Some malls around the world have been scrambling to add security guards to look for suspicious people following a deadly attack on a shopping center in Nairobi over the weekend. But for other malls, its been business as usual. The mixed reactions by malls across the globe isnt unusual in an industry whose security efforts vary from unarmed guards in most shopping centers in the U.S. to metal detectors and bag searches in places like Israel to main entrances that resemble airport security lines in India. The disparity offers a glimpse at why any moves following the Nairobi incident to increase mall security in countries that have less strict procedures arent likely to last: The industry continues to struggle with how to keep shoppers safe without scaring them away. No one wants, when you go shopping, to be strip searched, to be interviewed in a room by a security guard, said Simon Bennett, director, Civil Safety and Security Unit at the University of Leicester in England. That might be acceptable in aviation, but it is not in commercial retail. Security concerns come after 12 to 15 al-Shabab militants, wielding grenades, took control of Westgate mall in Nairobi. Terrorists held Kenya security forces for four days, killing at least 67 civilians and government troops and injuring 175 others. The Kenyan government said Tuesday that the attackers were defeated, with several suspects killed or arrested. In the aftermath, security was tight at the Junction Mall in Nairobi. In the U.S., the International Council of Shopping Centers, a trade group of shopping centers representing about one third of retail space globally, said the U.S. governments Department of Homeland Security is reaching out to corporate security at all malls. At the same time, the group said some of the malls in the U.S. and South Africa are beefing up private security personnel, while others are bringing in more off duty police ofcers. Mall of America, the biggest U.S. mall, added extra uniformed security ofcers and stepped up other measures, but ofcials at the Bloomington, Minn.-based mall declined to elaborate. We will remain vigilant as we always do in similar situations, said Dan Jasper, a mall spokesman. In general, U.S. malls focus on reacting to a shooting more than preventing one. Malls depend on private security personnel, most of whom dont carry guns, though they do work with local police. And while theyre trained to look for suspicious behavior and report that to authorities, theyre discouraged from intervening.

The Ford SUV was reported stolen by George Moses to the Wilkes-Barre Police Department on Sept. 9. It was taken from the area of 115 S. Main St. A witness on Sept. 11 reported seeing Andrew Chewey, 29, of West Poplar Street, Plymouth Township, driving the Ford in West Nanticoke, who said he got it from Mosley about three weeks ago. He stated Mosley took it to a scrap yard behind ABC Scrap Metal in Hunlock Township.
State police searched General Metals and Auto Parts Recycling behind the scrap yard and found the crushed Ford among other vehicles that Mosley had been crushed. General Metals owner Jason Tricarico told police he did not know how the Ford ended up on his property, the complaint says. Douglas Johnson, an employee at General Metals, identied Mosely as the per-
son who dropped off the Ford. General Metals accepted it without the title, state police said. Court records say Mosley is serving a one-year probation sentence that was imposed on Nov. 19, 2012, for retail theft and theft by deception. Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Mosley is asked to call Trooper John McGeary at 570-697-2000.

Eugene F. Lispi, 87, of Lain, a well-known local businessman, entered into eternal rest on Tuesday morning, Sept. 24, 2013, at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, after a prolonged illness. He was surrounded by his family. Born in Yatesville, he was a son of the late Joseph and Sabatina (LaVerde) Lispi. He attended Plains High School and graduated from Wyoming Seminary.

Firmly established in the eld of horseracing, he once again moved on. He met and married Osma Abraham, daughter of Robert Abraham, a local car dealer. They would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in November of this year. Listening to the stories from his father-inlaw, he became interested in new car sales. Gene Lispi Chevrolet, later know as Abraham Chevrolet, was established. A novice to the newcar business, he furthered his education in the automobile industry by studying sales and marketing at Princeton University and graduating from the Dealers Sons College of Chevrolet. He was a member of the Pennsylvania State Board of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, Dealers and Salesmen and a member of the Dealer Council Advisory Board of Chevrolet Motor Division. He opened Lispis Restaurant and Lounge in 1977. Still not satised, he moved on. Having been the son of a coal miner and working in his familys mines as a boy, his next ventures would be GL&O Coal, Great Eastern Coal, Pardeesville Associates of Hazleton and

POLICE BLOTTER
WILKES-BARRE City police arrested three juveniles Tuesday on charges they robbed a Kings College student on East North Street last month. A 20-year-old man who is a student at the college said he was walking in the area when he was approached by a group of young men at about 12:30 a.m. Aug. 23. The student said the men demanded his cellphone. When he refused, police said, he was punched in the head and knocked down. Police said the students iPhone and wallet were stolen. He was treated at a local hospital, police said. Hours after the assault and robbery, Kings College released a picture from a surveillance camera of possible suspects. Police on Tuesday said three male juveniles were identied and arrested. They were incarcerated at a juvenile facility pending further court action in Luzerne County Juvenile Court. WILKES-BARRE City police reported the following: A maroon 1997 Dodge 2500 van was reported stolen from South Meade Street on Tuesday. The vans owner stated his son stole the van. Police arrested Norman Bordley, 49, of Wilkes-Barre, on charges of simple assault and harassment after a domestic incident with his girlfriend on South Meade Street on Tuesday. Bordley was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $7,500 bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on Oct. 3 before District Judge Martin Kane.

COURT BRIEFS
WILKES-BARRE A city man charged with shooting and killing another man after a fight between their sons entered a not-guilty plea at a formal arraignment Wednesday and will likely stand trial on a homicide charge in January. Shauntae Thomas, 36, is charged with the shooting death of Derrick Cottle, 40, in April. Thomas attorneys say he was overcome with the intense emotion after seeing his son beaten and lying in a pool of blood. Because of threats to him and his family, Thomas believed his actions were justified, his attorneys have said. Senior Judge Joseph Augello said a trial will likely be held the second or third week of January. WILKES-BARRE A lawyer representing a Plymouth Township adult entertainment bar filed court papers Tuesday asking that a lawsuit against the establishment be thrown out. The Getaway Lounge filed court papers through its attorney, Daniel Lynch, of Philadelphia, asking that at least one of the counts in the lawsuit be dismissed. Tuesdays court papers also say the bar denies any negligence on its part in the suit filed by Rachel Fincham Kaminski. Kaminski filed the suit last month stating the business knowingly gave her alcohol when she was drunk, causing her to drive drunk and ultimately strike a car headon. She and two others were injured. The suit seeks more than $100,000 in damages. According to the suit, Kaminski was at the Getaway Lounge on Nov. 26, 2011, and was drinking until about 11:30 p.m. The bar and an unnamed worker, identified in the suit as Jane Doe, continued to provide her with drinks even though she was visibly intoxicated, had slurred speech and was speaking incoherently, according to the lawsuit. Kaminski left the bar and tried to drive home, side-swiping several vehicles, driving on the wrong side of the road and causing a head-on collision. Kaminski had a blood-alcohol level of 0.301 percent, the suit states. A person in Pennsylvania is consider intoxicated with a BAC of 0.08 percent. WILKES-BARRE A Lycoming County man charged with sexually assaulting a teen girl pleaded no contest Wednesday to a related charge and was sentenced to three to 10 years in state prison. James Walter Zerby, 46, of Linden, entered the plea to a charge of unlawful contact or communication with a minor and was sentenced by County Judge Lesa Gelb. Zerby must register his address under Megans Law and appear for a Megans Law hearing where a judge will determine if he is a sexually violent predator on Nov. 26. Zerby was arrested by Newport Township police in May 2012 after the girl alleged he sexually assaulted her at a residence in Glen Lyon from 2003 through 2006. Zerby is known to the girls family. WILKES-BARRE A man charged with allowing gambling devices at a local pool hall pleaded guilty Tuesday to a related charge and was ordered to pay a $100 fine. David Walkowiak, 57, of Guys and Dolls Billiards on South Wyoming Avenue, Edwardsville, pleaded guilty to a summary count of disorderly conduct and was ordered to pay a $100 fine by County Judge Lesa Gelb. Walkowiak had originally been charged with a count of allowing gambling at the business, but prosecutors were agreeable to the disorderly conduct charge. According to court papers, in May 2012, an officer with the Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement found six video gambling devices in operation in the pool hall. Court papers indicate Walkowiak told police people playing the machines would receive a payout. WILKES-BARRE A Philadelphia man sentenced in July on charges relating to the May 2012 robbery of a Plymouth Township strip club has appealed his case to the state Superior Court. Kevin Williams, 31, was sentenced on July 8 to 10 to 20 years in state prison after being convicted by a Luzerne County jury in May of robbery, trespassing, theft, receiving stolen property and two counts of criminal conspiracy. Prosecutors say Williams and his co-defendant, William Gronosky, entered the Carousel Lounge on U.S. Route 11 in March 2012, pointed guns at the clubs owner and left with cash and other items.
Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas President Judge Thomas Burke administers the oath of office on Wednesday to the Janet Serino, of Harding, who will become the next superintendent of Wyoming Area School District when Ray Bernardi retires in April. Serino, 60, will be the first female superintendent in the history of the district. About 50 people, mostly Wyoming Area staff and family members of Serino, attended the event at the districts Secondary Center and were treated to a luncheon. Serino was sworn-in as the district is caught up in a nearly monthlong teachers strike.

Mericle
Case in limbo Much like the naming of the Wyoming Seminary eld, Mericles criminal case remains in limbo. Mericle pleaded guilty on Sept. 2, 2009, to withholding information on a crime for his role in the county corruption scandal. At his guilty plea hearing, Mericle admitted he paid $1.8 million in nders fees to former judges Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan for their assistance in helping him obtain a contract to build two juvenile centers. He has not been sentenced yet; he is expected to testify in the ongoing
case of former state Sen. Raphael Musto. Musto, 83, was scheduled to go to trial in November on charges he abused his position as a senator by accepting $35,000 and other gifts from a developer, identied by Mustos attorneys as Mericle. Mustos attorneys, John Riley and William Murray, led a motion seeking to postpone the trial, arguing Musto, who suffers from cirrhosis of the liver and other medical conditions, was too ill to assist in his defense. U.S. District Judge Richard Caputo denied the motions in October, prompting the attorneys
to le an appeal with the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Appeal issues In the appeal, the attorneys argue Caputo erred because he ruled without holding a hearing, which prosecutors and the defense requested, to resolve differences in opinions by three medical experts who had examined Musto. One of the experts, hired by the court, said Musto was t for trial. But two others, including one hired by prosecutors, disagreed. That appeal is still pending and had been scheduled to be heard by a panel of judges Sept. 26.
Due to scheduling conflicts, the panel of judges said they will now accept court papers instead of holding a hearing before a decision is issued. In a related matter, Riley and Murray in November filed a motion seeking to dismiss one of the two counts included in second indictment filed last month because the offenses, which allegedly occurred in 2006, are outside the five-year statute of limitations. A few days later, Caputo granted a request to dismiss one of the counts, but ruled that four other counts against Musto will stay.
Health care
From page 1A released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, but noted that the information is still subject to change and only offers a few snapshots of what someone might pay. Under the 2010 federal health care law, uninsured Americans required to have insurance in 2014 or else pay a penalty will be covered in one of two ways. Also, insurance companies may not increase prices for preexisting conditions, or deny someone coverage because of one. Many people, ranging from lower-income workers to the middle class, will qualify for tax credits to help buy a private plan through the exchanges. The federal government will send the money for the tax credit directly to insurers, and policyholders will pay any remaining premium. One hitch in Pennsylvania is that it is likely that many childless adults and some others with incomes below 100 percent of the federal poverty level $11,490 for a single person will not be eligible for a tax credit or for Medicaid because Corbett and the state Legislature have not signed on to a Medicaid expansion that was envisioned by the 2010 federal health care law. A recent study by Families USA, a group that supports the health care law, said nearly 900,000 Pennsylvanians would qualify for a federal tax credit. Four levels of coverage will be offered on the exchange: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. Bronze plans generally have the lowest premiums but cover less while platinum plans have the highest premiums and cover more. If a 27-year-old Pennsylvania resident with $25,000 in annual income buys a bronze plan, he or she will pay $109 on average per month after the tax credit, $36 less than for a silver plan. A family of four earning $50,000 per year will pay $152, $130 less per month than for a silver policy. A silver plan covers 70 percent of medical costs, so policyholders will pay the difference up to an annual out-of-pocket cap.
Suicide
From page 1A tragedy, when four Luzerne County teens took their lives in a week, Mullery said. Making teachers aware of the warning signs of suicide can help save lives. District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis got involved, schools brought in grief counselors and others to talk about the issue, and candle light vigils were held in several communities. Just this year, Salavantis kept the issue of bullying front and center by bringing in antibullying speaker John Halligan to 14 area high schools and West Side Career and Technology Center this month, as well as seven presentations geared for parents. But the House bill focuses on ensuring that teachers who interact with students are aware of the warning signs of suicide and protocols for how to prevent them. Salavantis on Wednesday thanked the House for taking up and approving the bill and said oftentimes teachers are poised to notice signs or changes in students behavior that could raise a red ag. She said four hours of additional training is a small amount of time compared to the lifelong pain caused by a suicide. Dave McLaughlinSmith, the superintendent of the Crestwood School District, said the bills requirements (sound) like a reasonable request. Cursory training in any health/safety/welfare issue is never a bad thing. With that said, initial identication/recognition training of the warning signs for all staff members might save lives, but increasing the knowledge base/skills set of our guidance counseling staff could be valuable tenfold, McLaughlin-Smith said in an email. Boback, who has experience as a legislator and a public school employee, has a unique perspective. As a mother and a former teacher, I feel that a school should be a safe haven for students. I cosponsored this legislation because, if passed, it would provide extra training that would enable teachers to recognize the signals of a student at risk of suicide, Boback said. The bill goes to the state Senate for consideration. State Sen. John Yudichak, D-Plymouth Township, said the bipartisan nature of the bill should help it receive quick consideration and said he will support it because any additional steps put in place to help prevent suicide is a worthwhile effort. When you recognize that 90 percent of these suicides could be prevented if the proper training was in place and the warning signs were recognized, Yudichak said, this helps the school districts, helps the teachers and most importantly it helps the students. If it becomes law, it would take effect during the 2014-15 school year.

with the NCAA starting to restore lost scholarships as soon as this Februarys signing class. Thats still months away. From the perspective of the coaching staff, theres still a 2013 season to worry about, starting with a game at Indiana on Oct. 5. I think it gives me a chance to talk to our team about sticking with it and taking it day-byday. Sticking together and being committed, OBrien said Tuesday. It doesnt have any effect on this year, so weve got to immediately get back to work on Indiana and try to improve on some things to compete in our Big Ten schedule the rest of the way. Today is denitely more about the future. Its about next year, and the year after and the year after that. It doesnt have much of an effect on this year. Thats the way we see it. Well talk to our team about it, but then well quickly move on to getting ready for Indiana. On Wednesday, Penn State players followed OBriens lead. I mean, we found out yesterday, and I guess were happy about it, defensive tackle Austin Johnson said. But were focused on nishing this year up and getting ready for Indiana next week. Even tailback Akeel Lynch, already one of the teams most upbeat and outgoing personalities, was all aboard the focus bandwagon. Obviously its positive news for Penn State as a whole, Lynch said. But were just focused on the bye week, getting healthy and preparing for Indiana the week after that. With the Lions focus this week clearly on, uh, focusing, it will take some time to take a true measure of what the NCAAs decision means to current Penn State players. For Lynch and Johnson both redshirt freshmen its a bit of vindication. As two guys who had just arrived at Penn State in June 2012, they didnt even have a full month to settle in before the sanctions hit, threatening to split the team completely apart. They both chose to stick it out. Im just happy with my decision, Johnson said. I was a man of my word. That summer, only one

Bill OBriens message was heard loud and clear by his players. The Penn State coach set the tone for his program on Tuesday in the immediate aftermath of the NCAAs announcement of reduced sanctions for the Nittany Lions. OBrien was positive but publicly subdued about the news that Penn State would be getting a reprieve
Penn State redshirt freshman running back Akeel Lynch could be one of several Lions benefiting from the NCAA easing sanctions on the program.

NEW YORK The New York Yankees failed to make the playoffs for only the second time in 19 years, getting mathematically eliminated Wednesday night during an 8-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Evan Longoria homered twice as the Rays won their sixth straight and lowered to three their magic number over Texas for clinching an AL wild-card berth. Slowed by age and hobbled by injury, the Yankees (82-76) were chased with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning when the Cleveland Indians completed a 7-2 win over the Chicago White Sox. Despite baseballs highest opening-day payroll at $230 million, the Yankees failed to claim one of the 10 playoff berths.
We didnt get to where we wanted to get, manager Joe Girardi said after it was over. Since starting the latest run of success in 1995, New York had missed the playoffs only in 2008 when the team bid goodbye to old Yankee Stadium. This time, the Yankees are saying goodbye to Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte, who are retiring when the season ends Sunday. Before a quiet crowd of 37,260, the Yankees lost for the eighth time in 11 games and were eliminated from contention for a playoff berth on their own eld for the rst time since 1991. Fans gure to be more exuberant during Thursday nights home nale, when Rivera likely will make his nal Yankee Stadium appearance. David Price (9-8) ended a ve-start winless streak,
one shy of his career worst, and Longoria drove in four runs. Price allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings with eight strikeouts and no walks. Longoria hit a three-run homer in the sixth off David Huff, and David DeJesus hit his second of the season on the next pitch. Longoria homered in the ninth off Preston Claiborne, his 31st of the season and ninth in 18 games this year against the Yankees. Phil Hughes (4-14) allowed three runs and seven hits in two innings-plus, walking slowly to the dugout and looking up to the stands when he was removed from what likely was his nal start with the Yankees.

Jayson Megna has the same goal this season as he had last year, only its a little more clearer. Even though he was a rookie last season, Megnas goal, like any player in the AHL, was to make the NHL. With Pittsburghs depth at forward, Jayson Megna Megna never got to suit up for the parent club, but its clear he has caught their attention. The 23-year-old had an impressive rookie tournament in the offseason and replicated that performance during his time in Pittsburghs training camp. He survived the rst round of cuts before being reassigned on Sunday, and after having spent a few weeks around the NHL club, Megna has a better idea of what hes after. They play the game at the highest level in the world, so when you get a little taste of that it ups your own game, Megna said. It was a great experience up there and Im denitely coming in with a little more condence. And ready to work. Last season, Megna showed ashes of his offensive prowess and also struggled at times as he transitioned from from college into the pro game. He nished the season registering ve goals and 12 points in 56 games. Now, with a year of pro experience plus the time in Pittsburghs training camp, Megna is ready to improve on last years numbers. I know I still have to prove myself before I get a chance, work on the little things, he said. Continue to use my speed, work on my shot and focus on the things I learned up there. It all translates and hopefully it will give me a better shot to go back there.
TAMPA, Fla. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have benched quarterback Josh Freeman and replaced him with rookie Mike Glennon. The move Wednesday came two days after coach Greg Schiano insisted Freeman remained the starter because he gave the team the best chance to win. The coach changed his mind after meeting Tuesday with general manager Mark Dominik and later discussed the switch with ownership. This is a performancebased decision, Schiano said Wednesday. Were not getting the job done on the eld. The winless Bucs have lost their rst three games, two on eld goals in the closing sec-
onds. Freeman has completed just 45.7 percent of his passes for 571 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions. Dating to last season, theyve dropped eight of nine games, and the offense hasnt played well throughout the stretch. There are a lot of reasons for it. Its not just one guy, Schiano said of Freeman, who is in the nal year of the contract he signed as a rookie. Buts thats a critical piece of it. The quarterback touches the ball every play. Glennon was drafted in the third round out of North Carolina State, where he spent part of his college career as a backup to Russell Wilson. He will make his rst pro start Sunday at home against Arizona. After setting single-season team records for passing yards

and points scored in 2012, the Bucs have scored just three offensive touchdowns through three games none in the past seven quarters. Freemans completion percentage and quarterback rating (59.3) are last in the league, See BUCS| 3B
LEHMAN TWP. Naturally, the rst team to score off Dallas in eight games received plenty of acclaim from the Mountaineers. So after the Lake-Lehman girls soccer team gave the Mountaineers their rst scare of its 2013 campaign, Dallas coach Abe Lewis was already thinking strategy for the next time the two teams face in the District 2 Class 2A seminal or nal round next month. Lewis prediction came after his Mountaineers fought off an aggressive Lake-Lehman squad in a 4-2 victory to remain the lone undefeated team in the Wyoming Valley Conference. I saw two teams that I see down the future in the playoffs, Lewis said. I dont see any reason why Lake-Lehman and Dallas shouldnt be a district championship game. Dallas found itself in trouble after Julia Hutsko gave the Black Knights a lead in the 18th minute from an Emily Sutton assist.
Dallas Talia Szatkowski leads a rush upfield against Lake-Lehman during their WVC girls soccer match Wednesday night.
Lake-Lehman is a good team, Lewis said. They have two or three of the better attacking players in the league. Its really a challenge for any defense to face Lake-Lehman. The decit was short-lived as Tiffany Zukosky set up a 20-yard Talia Szatkowski score to even it up at 1-1 apiece in the
23rd minute. Just two minutes later, Ruby Mattson put the Mountaineers ahead with excellent ball control and ashy speed. Mattson bulleted down the sidelines, weaved around three defenders and the See SOCCER | 3B

NEW YORK Two sparkling arenas. One AllStar city. The NBA is bringing its All-Star weekend back to New York in 2015, and the Knicks and Nets are putting aside a strengthening rivalry on the court to share it. Barclays Center in Brooklyn will host the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday night and the skills events, highlighted by the slam dunk contest, on Saturday before the 64th All-Star game goes to Madison Square Garden on Sunday, Feb. 15. To have two brand-new buildings, in effect, is what we have in support of New York City. Its good for basketball. Its good for the teams. Its good for the NBA, and its great for the city, Commissioner David Stern said Wednesday at a news conference that included Mayor Michael Bloomberg and ofcials from both teams. With two state-of-theart venues after the construction of the Barclays Center, which opened last September, and a threeyear renovation project at the Garden both with $1 billion price tags the league saw the opportunity to show off two of its best buildings in what its touting as a weeklong celebration of basketball. So the NBA went to the teams about two years ago,
Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said, and eventually a plan was arranged in which they both could be part of the leagues midseason spectacle. This is a great event for the entire league, not just for New York City, and I think they recognize the power of both organizations working together in what in essence are new buildings would make this truly a global event, Silver said. And so what it was worth putting aside whatever independent interest they had and working in a cooperative nature. The league last split sites for its midseason showcase in 2010, when the Saturday events were in the Dallas Mavericks arena and the game was held at the Cowboys stadium. The game was last held at Madison Square Garden in 1998 in what turned out to be Michael Jordans nal All-Star appearance with the Bulls and Kobe Bryants rst overall. The Garden was ready to host again after its project, which took place over the last three summers, but Barclays also was a strong candidate to land another marquee event to the many it has staged in its opening year. Silver said the teams realized the game wouldnt come back to New York again right away, so sharing was the only way both could be involved.

SAN FRANCISCO The big black cat almost used up its last life at the start, burying its bows in a wave and falling behind a boatload of Kiwis. Of course, it was only tting in this Americas Cup that Oracle Team USA would need to survive neardefeat again.
With one last spectacular push in a winner-takeall nale Wednesday, the United States managed to hang onto the Auld Mug in closing out the longest, fastest and, by far, wildest Americas Cup ever with one of the greatest comebacks in sports. Skipper Jimmy Spithill steered Oracles spaceage, 72-foot catamaran to its eighth straight vic-
tory, speeding past Dean Barker and Team New Zealand in Race 19 on a San Francisco Bay course bordered by the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and the Embarcadero. All but defeated a week ago, the 34-year-old Australian and his international crew twice rallied from seven-point decits to win 9-8. Owned by software billionaire Larry
Ellison, Oracle Team USA was docked two points for illegally modifying boats in warmup regattas and had to win 11 races to keep the trophy. It really is about the team, man, Spithill said. On your own youre nothing, but when youve got a team like this around you, they can make you look great. They did all of that today and the whole series.
Im so proud of the boys. They didnt inch. It could have been over shortly after the start just inside the Golden Gate Bridge. Oracles hulking black catamaran with a giant No. 17 on each hull buried its twin bows in a wave approaching the rst mark and Barker turned his redand-black cat around the buoy with a 7-second lead.

From page 1B punching in the eventual game-winning goal. Zukosky assisted on her second goal in the 36th minute, shooting a ball from 16 yards out that the Lake-Lehman goalkeeper was unable to control. Ashley Strazdus knocked in the rebound to give Dallas a 3-1 lead. Our two forwards (Strazdus, Szatkowski) allow us to counter-attack on defense, Lewis said. We catch them off guard some times. Szatkowski provided the Mountaineers with a majestic set piece goal in the 46th minute. From 27 yards out, she found the top-right corner from the far side. Lake-Lehman controlled possession for the majority of the second half after Hutsko produced her second goal on a misdirected Shoshana Mahoney shot in the 48th minute. The Black Knights had several opportunities to cut the lead in half to no avail. Sutton was left wide open in the 52nd minute and lifted the ball over the post. In the 70th minute, Dallas goalkeeper Sidney Emershaw (15 saves) made a quick reaction save on a close range kick. They have some very touted by general manager Mark Dominik as a franchise quarterback, has thrown for four TDs vs. 12 interceptions in the last six games. The switch caps a tumultuous month in which Freeman missed a team photo shoot on Labor Day, was not voted a team captain for the rst time in three years and refuted good players who are able to control the ball that are more experienced and bigger in size than us, Lewis said. They took advantage of size and we had trouble winning the head balls. Wyoming Valley West 8, Meyers 0 Alyssa Shaver recorded two goals and had one assist in the Spartans shutout win. Alex Hargrave contributed two scores to the victory. Emmalie Langan made 17 saves in the net for the Mohawks. reports that he was seeking a trade.

Bucs
From page 1B Tampa Bays had trouble scoring points despite having proven playmakers in running back Doug Martin and receivers Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams. The fth-year pro, once
but his inconsistency down the stretch contributed to the Bucs losing ve of nal 6 games to nish 7-9 and miss the playoffs for the fth straight year. He threw nine interceptions in the nal three weeks of 2012, and his slow start this year raised questions about Schiano possibly turning to Glennon in two weeks, when the Bucs
have a bye. The coach said as late as Monday that Freeman was his starter, but apparently changed his mind on Tuesday an off day for players and informed Freeman and Glennon of the change Wednesday morning. The 25-year-old was the third quarterback selected in the 2009 draft
behind Mark Sanchez and Matthew Stafford. He made his rst NFL start a win against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers after Tampa Bay began his rookie season with seven consecutive losses. The former Kansas State star followed with a breakout season in 2010, when the Bucs went 10-6 but failed to make the playoffs.

WEST PITTSTON It seemed every time Wyoming Area needed a lift, the Warriors had someone step up. That little extra was enough for the Warriors to take a 1-0 victory over Lackawanna Trail in a WVC Division 1 eld hockey crossover game Wednesday. Were glad we won, but were not completely satised, Warriors coach Lunda Comiskey said. Theres still some things to work on. Both teams are battling for playoff position. Wyoming Area (4-5) remains sixth in Class 2A while gaining ground. The Lions stay two wins ahead of Delaware Valley and Wallenpapack for the nal playoff spot in Class 3A. Sometimes we were passive with our opponents in the circle, Lackawanna Trail coach Katie Snyder said. We have to be fast to the ball and be aggressive to the ball. Even with a loss, though, this is a good learning experience. Theres a lot (of season) still to go. Bree Bednarski scored the games lone goal on a hustling play in the 25th minute. After Abby Thornton red a shot from the top of the circle, Trail keeper Kerrigan Buck stacked her leg pads to make the initial save. The rebound came to Grace Angelella, who quickly dished to Bednarski. The sophomore charged past the goalie and another defender toward the post and red a shot into the goal for a 1-0 lead. Bree has brought an intensity on the eld,
Comiskey said. Shes demanding the ball come to her with her play and shes lifting the rest of the forwards to play with greater intensity. That was all Wyoming Area goalie Christina Granteed would need. The junior was tested just once in the rst half, but it was as challenging of an opportunity as she will likely face all season. A clearing pass that was red upeld by a Lackawanna Trail defender took a strange hop on the grass to elude the Warriors defensive backs. The Lions Daria Lewandowski, one of their top scorers, was rst to the ball and was charging in on a breakaway. Granteed came out toward the top of the circle and made a sliding stop on the Trail junior. Youve got to stay prepared, Granteed said of her rst opportunity 11 minutes in. Im thinking, against her, its just the two of us. Youve got to go at it for your team and make the save. I knew, too, that if I didnt get it, my defense would have gotten there for me. In the second half, Granteed continued to shine en route to her second shutout of the season. She faced three Trail corners and ended up with four saves in the half, stopping Jordan Laytos on a pair of chances on the doorstep, Nicole Rosa on the Lions best corner of the day and Maddy Lee at the far post on a long cross with 75 seconds to play. Its different, Granteed said of being busy in the second half after a rst half of little activity. In the
rst half, youre coming off warmups so youre ready. Youre not warmed up when youve waited a long time like that. But youve got to stay in the game mentally. Thats what keeps you ready. Wyoming Area was not able to entend its lead, though, as Buck was also a wall in goal. The junior, in her rst year as a starter, made 17 saves, her secondhighest total of the season. A number of the stops could be classied as more than routine. Our defense has been pretty fantastic, Snyder said. Theyve done a relaly good job this year. We havent had a lot of goals scored against us. (Kerrigan) was awesome. She had 17 saves. This was one of her best games she was aggressive and didnt let up on the ball.

LEHMAN TWP. A team grows up together on the court for the past three seasons, and as a coach and player, you know what follows. Lofty expectations. And with expectations sometimes brings pressure to live up and exceed what is set for you. Right now, all Kevin Koziol wants his LakeLehman volleyball team to do is continue to improve and enjoy the moment. So far, so good. Lehman fought off a pesky Wyoming Area charge, battling back from decits in the nal two sets en route to a 3-0 victory in Wyoming Valley Conference play Wednesday. Game scores were 25-19, 25-23 and 25-18. It was the fth straight win for Lake-Lehman, which remains two games behind undefeated Holy Redeemer. Wyoming Area,
which had won three consecutive coming into the match, fell to 4-4. I think we played pretty well, especially in the last 10 points of that third set, Koziol said. The girls have kept their heads and just play the game. Its no surprise to see the Black Knights in this spot. The team lost just one senior off last years team that qualied for the district 2A playoffs. Then again, when you have a squad thats been playing together on the varsity level for so long, its just second-nature to know where teammates are going to be, where the pass is going to be set up or where the back-row dig is coming from. Maria Chinikaylo has been setting teammates for years now. The hitters are comfortable with spots on the court, and playing to their strengths and counterbalancing their teammates weaknesses. This year especially, we
are all working as one unit and are coming together nicely, senior Kahli Kotulski said. We are ne with the expectations so far, and we know we have to kill it every time we step on the court because we want to keep it going. This year means the world to us. Weve been working for this season for a long time now. Last year, we made the playoffs, but we didnt go as far as we would have liked. This year, we know we can do it and we are going to work our butts off to get there. Sometimes, though, you do have the pressure. Koziol wont deny the lofty goals. Right now, the Black Knights are sitting in the top-half of the WVC. Looking at the district 2A standings, its not out of the realm of possibility Lehman (6-2) could reach as high as a No. 2 seed. I keep telling the girls to expect excellence, and you achieve that by expecting it, the head coach said. We still have some old
habits of falling back into sloppiness here or there, or playing down at times. We are trying to use some different tactics to keep going strong. Wyoming Area had thoughts of its own. After struggling with eight attack errors and ve service miscues in the opening set, the charge began. The Warriors held a 22-21 lead in the second set, only to see Danae Sutliff respond with two consecutive kills and a Lehman ace ended a 4-1 run and gave the Black Knights a 25-23 victory. Wyoming Area also held a brief lead in the third before Kotulski took over. She recorded four of her teamhigh eight kills in the nal 18 points of the set, which allowed Lehman to close on a 12-5 spurt to break open a 13-13 tie. Hitting woes hurt the Warriors with a total of 24 attack errors in the match. Im happy that we battled, Wyoming Area rst-year head coach Nick
Lake-Lehman 3, Wyoming Area 0 WA 19 23 18 LL 25 25 25 WA: Samantha Acacio 9 kills, 2 aces, 2 blocks; Audrey Hiedacavage 21 assists; Mallory Bohan 7 kills, 5 digs. LL: Kahli Kotulski 8 kills, 2 aces; Danae Sutliff 6 kills, 1 ace; Maria Chinikaylo 23 assists, 1 kill.
Diaco said. We have girls that dont quit and will battle until the very end. It was nice to see us come close and hang with LakeLehman. We just have to continue to work with the girls to adapt to our style of play.

NFL coaching legend Vince Lombardi had several catchy sayings. One of the most memorable was, Its not whether you get knocked down, its whether you get up. Sounds cool. Looks good on a locker room wall. Its meaningless, though, unless applied. And LakeLehman has applied it this season. The Black Knights came into the season as the coaches and medias darlings in Class 2A of District 2. They were highly favored to capture the D2-2A crown, something the program hasnt done since 1997. They had all the pieces in place. Then Old Forge scattered them on opening night. Lehman was driving for the potential winning touchdown, a storybook ending to what was to be a storybook season. Interception, game over, Old Forge wins 13-7. A win in that game puts us on the map, Lehman coach Jerry Gilsky said. You get more of an identity. Old Forge is a small school that cranks out quality teams annually. Lehman is a tad bigger in enrollment but way smaller in recognition. Yet, the Black Knights didnt let the loss sink them for too long. Theyve wiped out their last three opponents. Granted none were of the stature of Old Forge. Montrose hasnt scored yet. Wyoming Area is going through a massive rebuild. And Holy Redeemer hasnt been able to get on solid footing since the programs first game in 2007. But the fact that Lehman knocked all three down and didnt let them up speaks volumes. Football is football, Gilsky said. (Old Forge) was a game that really measured us as a team. In a way, we learned from the first game of the year. The kids in the last three games came out of the gates strong. They understand what it take to be a winner. And what it takes to get back up.
PARALLEL UNIVERSE?
version averaged 3.1 through four games. However, there are some differences, particularly on defense. The 2008 Dallas team had a minus-11 turnover ratio at this point, while this years team is minus-1. The 2008 squad had trouble stopping the run, allowing 5.3 yards per carry in its first four games. Dallas is solid versus the run so far, allowing 3.4 per carry. The 2008 team lost its first six game before defeating Crestwood 9-0, which was also the 200th coaching victory for Ted Jackson.
AVOIDING HISTORY
When Lake-Lehman intercepts a pass this season, it has meant one thing six points. The Black Knights have returned all three of their interceptions for touchdowns. Kody Pachamovitch and Josh Winters each had a pick6 against Holy Redeemer on Friday. Joey Vigil had one earlier this season.

Expected: Dallas to battle Coughlin tough despite the records. Coughlin stayed unbeaten with a 7-0 victory over the winless Mountaineers.

HOWS THIS MERCY RULE
Dallas struggles this season are reminiscent of those of the 2008 Mountaineers, who finished 2-8. Both teams couldnt score to start the season. Dallas has seven points thus far; the 2008 squad had 14 through four games. Neither team could run the ball. This years Mounts are averaging 1.8 yards per carry. The 2008
Wyoming Areas 20-12 victory over Hanover Area on Friday meant the Warriors wont have a chance to set the record for the worst start in school history. That distinction still belongs to the 1974 team that lost five in a row before defeating Dallas 20-18. The 1974 team finished 2-6-2, with the other win coming via forfeit against Hanover Area. The worst team in the schools 48 seasons was the 1976 team that finished 1-10. Oddly, those Warriors won their opener 19-0 over Bishop
Two former Wyoming Area teammates will get reacquainted Saturday when Sacred Heart plays at Bucknell at 6 p.m. Nick Bartoli is the starting right guard for Sacred Heart.

The PIAA requires a running clock in high school football if a team leads by 35 points in the second half. A California youth league took its mercy rule a step further. According to a story on foxsports.com, the Northern California Federation Youth Football League has instituted a $200 fine and a one-week suspension for a coach if his team wins by 35 points or more. Teams must also sit their starters once up by 28. The thinking is players on losing teams were getting discouraged and losing interest in football. In the PIAA adopted the same rule this season, heres how much the following WVC coaches would owe, provided they still pay a fine despite being suspended: Berwicks George Curry, $600; LakeLehmans Jerry Gilsky, $600; Meyers Corry Hanson, $400; Crestwoods Greg Myers, $200; Tunkhannocks Rod Azar, $200; Wyoming Valley Wests Pat Keating, $200.

From page 1B member of the 2012 signing class, Jamil Pollard, left before the season started. In some cases, players in that class such as District 2 alums Eugene Lewis and Nyeem Wartman, essentially picked Penn State on three separate occasions. They chose the school once before their senior seasons of high school began. They chose it again before signing day in the winter after the Sandusky scandal changed everything around. The third time came that summer when the sanctions freed them from their letters of intent. They all had their reasons. I just took football out of the equation, Lynch said. I looked at the academics, the social life and life after football. I believe once I graduate here, if I pursue the NFL or I dont, Ill be in a good position because of the large alumni connections and the academics. I really liked the school all-around, Johnson said. I loved the way (defensive line coach Larry Johnson) coaches. Its just Penn State. Now that 2012 signing class will get some more reinforcements from the restored scholarships. And with the NCAA leaving the window open for future leniency, theres some hope that a trip to a bowl game could be a reality after all. But if thats truly on the

BALTIMORE Ryan Flaherty hit a pair of two-run homers, Jonathan Schoop had a solo shot in his big league debut and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Toronto Blue Jays 9-5 on Wednesday night to snap a six-game skid and clinch their second straight winning season. Steve Pearce also homered for Baltimore and Chris Davis doubled in a run to increase his RBI total to 137 tied with Miguel Cabrera for the major league lead, pending Detroits late game in Minnesota. The Orioles were eliminated from playoff contention one night earlier, so manager Buck Showalter rested Adam Jones, Brian Roberts and Matt Wieters and moved Davis from rst base to designated hitter. With a lineup that included Jason Pridie, Schoop and Steve Clevenger, the Orioles ended a streak of 21 straight games of scoring ve runs or fewer. Schoop, a 21-year-old prospect, contributed two hits including the homer in the sixth and scored three runs.

shortstop Derek Jeter, third baseman Alex Rodriguez, rst baseman Mark Teixeira and center elder Curtis Granderson. Hobbled by the ankle he broke in last years AL championship series opener, Jeter didnt make his season debut until right before the All-Star break and wound up playing just 17 games because of recurring leg injuries. Teixeira, who injured a hand while with the U.S. team at World Baseball Classic, played in just 15 games and needed season-ending surgery. Rodriguez, coming back from hip surgery, and Granderson, who broke a forearm and pinkie when hit by pitches, each played about one-third of the season. In all, the Yankees had a major league-leading 28 stints on the disabled list by 21 different players, according to STATS, and have missed 1,461 days more than four years worth. New Yorks home runs dropped from a team-record 245 last year to 143 this season on pace to be the Yankees fewest in a nonstrike season since 1989. The departure of free agents Raul Ibanez, Nick Swisher, Russell Martin and Eric Chavez contributed to the power outage. NOTES: Somewhat appropriately on the day New York was eliminated, it was Charlie Brown bobblehead night. The Yankees put LHP CC Sabathia on the 15-day DL retroactive to Saturday and activated DH Travis Hafner, who had been sidelined since late July with a rotator cuff strain. In a home plate presentation by Jeter and Rivera, Pettitte was given a framed base from his nal Yankee Stadium start Sunday, signed by the team.

IN BRIEF
Companies placed slightly more orders in August for U.S. long-lasting manufactured goods, stepping up demand for cars, trucks and machinery. Even with the gain, business spending on factory goods may not be strong enough to accelerate economic growth in the July-September quarter. Orders for durable goods, items expected to last at least three years, increased 0.1 percent in August, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. That comes after orders plummeted 8.1 percent in July, which was largely because of a steep drop in volatile commercial aircraft orders.
Calling it a matter of justice, Gov. Jerry Brown put his signature on a bill that will hike Californias minimum wage to $10 an hour within three years, making it one of the highest rates in the nation. The legislation signed Wednesday at a ceremony in downtown Los Angeles will gradually raise the current minimum of $8 an hour to $9 on July 1, 2014, then to $10 on Jan. 1, 2016. The increase is the rst to the states minimum wage in six years and comes amid a national debate over whether its fair to pay fast-food workers, retail clerks and others wages so low that they often have to work second or third jobs. The state Senate approved AB10 on a 26-11 vote Sept. 12, and the Assembly followed hours later on a 51-25 vote. Both chambers voted largely along party lines.

SEATTLE Amazon is refreshing its lineup of tablet computers with new devices called Kindle Fire HDX, which are signicantly faster and lighter than the previous generation. The 7-inch and 8.9-inch versions also have sharper, more colorful displays than older models, and both have more pixels per inch than the latest iPad. To help those who are unfamiliar with tablets, the new Kindles come with a feature called Mayday, which allows users to summon a live customer service representative in a tiny video window. The helpers can explain new features or troubleshoot problems while guiding users with on-screen
hand scribbles. They can even take control of the device from afar. CEO Jeff Bezos introduced the feature to reporters Tuesday, saying it is completely unique and takes advantage of Amazons massive cloud computing and customer service infrastructure. It also builds on Amazon.com Inc.s reputation for excellent customer service. You shouldnt have to be afraid of your device, Bezos said. While the new Kindles are upgraded in several ways, Amazon also cut the price on what will be its entry-level 7-inch tablet, the Kindle Fire HD with 8 gigabytes of memory, to $139. The base HD model previously cost $199, but had 16 gigabytes of memory. The price
makes the tablet just $20 more than Amazons latest dedicated e-reader, the Kindle Paperwhite. The Kindle Fire HD is sheathed in a new magnesium alloy body like the HDX models, but has the same screen resolution and processing power of the older model. However, it drops the front-facing camera and microphone found in last years HD. Globally, Amazons shipments in the April-June quarter were down 59 percent from a year earlier at 470,000, NPD said. That compared with 14.6 million for Apples iPad, down 17 percent from a year ago, and 10.8 million for Samsungs Galaxy line, which is more than six times more than a year earlier. Amazon sells most of its Kindles around the Christmas holidays, Baker said.

Frank Baiocchi, from left, Murphy Monroe and Jonathan Hoenig gather during their fantasy football draft picks at the home of one of their friends, in Deerfield, Ill.
CHICAGO So much has changed since they rst passed around a football magazine in class to pick fantasy teams a quarter of a century ago. Marriages. Kids. Jobs. Thinning hair. But each year, as summer winds down and NFL previews begin landing in mailboxes and online, the seven friends from New Trier High School know its that magical season again. Its the time of year when, no matter where they live or how much their lives have evolved, the guys will get back together and see that some things dont change. Jeffrey Shubart will bring a ridiculous number of spreadsheets. Murphy Murph Monroe will complain how much he hates football. Frank Baiocchi will remind everyone, again and again, of the only year his fantasy team won the championship. How about that 1995? he asks, prompting barely an eye roll from buddies who have heard it so many times they dont even bother to tell him to zip it. It was a good year, Baiocchi says with a grin. Across the country, friends like the group from New Trier are already deep into their annual tradition of fantasy football. Once considered a nerdy pastime for extreme fans, fantasy sports

ing football in a way nobody else was, recalled Dave Gordon, now 39 and still inexplicably referred to as Dave Gordon both names by his friends. When the guys headed off to separate colleges across the country, keeping up the pastime known as fantasy football by that point was never in question. Each player would make a long-distance call to Shubarts dorm room at the University of Michigan to declare his starting lineup. Each week, Shubart would tally results and send them off with six postal stamps. They returned each summer
to Chicagos North Shore, where theyd get together to play basketball, see movies or hang out at each others parents houses as always. And when autumn neared, theyd hold their annual draft at one of their parents kitchen tables. The average fantasy sports player in 2013 has played for 8.5 years, and 75 percent play with people they know, according to the Fantasy Sports Trade Association. Though not rocket science, those simple stats coupled with Internet technology that makes it all See FOOTBALL | 2C
WILKES-BARRE For a diehard fantasy-football fanatic, its no longer a case of rooting for the home team but a matter of rooting for his or her own team, one created and pored over and rearranged perhaps countless times. Millions of fantasy-team owners engage in growing numbers every year in this battle tied to the National Football League, and the name of the game is usually besting and beating your closest friends. In this world, nobody really cares which NFL team wins or loses anymore. Instead, its all about who scores. For years, groups of all sorts have gathered in garages, hotel rooms, bars, patios, basements, living rooms and cabins to hold the drafts at which they choose with varied reasoning the players who will make up their fantasy teams. With any luck, an armchair coachs selections will rack up enough collective points to catapult him or her to victory and perhaps a big pot. In Northeastern Pennsylvania, the time-consuming, friendship-cementing pastime has taken hold every bit as much as it has across the rest of the footballwatching land. Justin Eddy, Brian Harris and Randy Knappman are three friends who participate in multiple fantasy leagues. Knappman, a 31-year-old jeweler, is in 11 leagues. He has been playing fantasy football for 14 years. How can he keep track of 11 teams, more than 100 players and still have a real life? I just root for everybody, he said. I probably have whoever scores on one of my teams. Eddy, 32 of Pringle, works in the electronic security business, and Harris, his best friend, is a 34-year-old businessman from Newport Township. Harris once bragged he was ranked 87th in the world by some fantasy-football website. His friends just scoff at the boast, noting they are ahead of him in one of their leagues. And thats what its about winning and points, points, points. You can never get enough points, diehards say. We had a guy in our league who was losing, and he didnt care about his team, Harris said. He wouldnt make any changes, so we kicked him out. But they remained friends. Eddy takes it to a different level. A devout Denver Broncos fan, he struggles with picking up players on teams playing the Broncos. I cant root for a guy to score because it would hurt the Broncos chances of winning, he said. I dont want anybody playing against the Broncos to do well. Websites do the work to compile the statistics. In the years before website development, league leaders would have to rely on newspapers to accurately report the statistics from each game. That took a lot of time and effort, and mistakes could be costly. Even while getting interviewed about their little addiction, Eddy, Harris and Knappman conSee LOCAL | 2C

From page 1C easier may be enough to explain fantasy footballs growth, said Berry, who began playing fantasy sports when he was 14 years old. What it says about the American public? I dont think it says anything particularly insightful, Berry said by phone during a break from a 14-city book tour. The appeal is its fun. And guess what? Americans like to do fun things. Simple at heart In 2007, ESPN hired Berry to be its senior fantasy sports analyst. His daily Fantasy Focus podcasts are now a morning ritual for fantasy players everywhere, and as of this week he had more than half a million Twitter followers. Berrys Twitter bio hints at the simplicity behind fantasys popularity: Im just as surprised as you that its a real job. But for the guys from New Trier, there was something else, too. In January 1992, a few weeks after completing their fourth fantasy football season, one of the original league members was killed in a gas explosion in Chicago. Stephen Hoenig, a budding actor who had known most of the guys since elementary school, died while being photographed at a studio on Chicagos Near Northwest Side. The photographer and makeup artist also were killed in the blast, which touched off res and explosions that damaged 18 other buildings in the neighborhood. Each of the friends came home for Hoenigs funeral. And the following August, Hoenigs younger brother who had always been in the background, looking up to the older guys took over his fantasy team without question. It was like thats exactly what he wouldve wanted, said Jonathan Hoenig, now 37. It gave me a lot of strength to know that the tradition and something we all loved would continue. And continue it did. The guys kept their fantasy league going as each graduated from college, met his wife and had children and they advanced in their careers a lmmaker, a college admissions director, two attorneys, a hedge-fund manager and two who work at arts foundations. In 1995, with the friends living across the country, they restructured their league to make annual drafts quicker and easier to keep up. With what is known as a dynasty league, fantasy players keep the same athletes year after year and draft only rookies to replace retirees. Oh the places they go The New Trier friends have held their annual draft in Atlantic City, while in canoes in Wisconsin, at Shubarts ofce in New York and on the weekends of three of their weddings. On the few occasions when one league member couldnt be there in person, hed be there by phone or via Skype, as was the case this year with Jason Chaet. When Heather Chaet went on her rst date with Jason, he mentioned the fantasy-football tradition right away. He basically put it on the line, This is my crew, this is what we do every year, she recalled with a laugh. And while the seriousness of the ritual might have been lost on their wives at rst, they now look forward to reunions as much as the guys. Draft weekend each year has become the time to meet the new babies, tour new homes and catch up with old friends. Joanna Shubart and Samantha Gordon giggle when they see their husbands huddle in a corner whispering about a secret draft trade. During one recent draft weekend, Heather Chaet surprised the group with T-shirts that read Future owner of (their fathers fantasy team name) for each of the players children. There are now 13 future owners. The New Trier friends play only for bragging rights. They dont even have a league name. The friends tried to vote on one once, back in 1998, but couldnt agree. So the top of the Internet site that tracks their results online is labeled The Ofcially Untitled League. But for the next several months, you can bet each of the friends will be on that site once a day, if not more, to share football articles, vacation rental home ads for the next draft weekend and, of course, talk trash. Who at the age of 40 makes a new best friend? Thats what Id like to know, Monroe said. These are my best friends forever for better or worse.

I have them both on one team. I gotta nd out whos available. The pace is constant and frenetic. As Harris said, its not about the money, even though some fantasy leagues offer big payoffs. I just want to win, Harris said. I want to beat them. As a league commissioner, Harris said, he sometimes has to make decisions for the integrity of the league. That gives you some idea as to the level of commitment fantasy players make. Fantasy football is so popular now that the major networks make reference to it all the time, Harris said. If a guy gets hurt or has a huge day, you will hear them say, If you have him on your fantasy roster ESPN and the NFL Network have fantasy-football shows. All three of the local guys have signicant others and children, but, make no mistake, fantasy football is not talked about much at the dinner table. They know not to bother me on Sundays between

Today, fantasy football is a multibillion-dollar industry with millions of leagues, and it has changed the way football fans root. Sure they want their favorite teams to

DEAR ABBY
ADVICE
Dear Resentful: Yes. If you feel you are missing out on fun if you cant drink, you have a potential alcohol problem. Tell your husband that when he drinks in front of you, it makes you crave alcohol, and ask again that he respect your feelings. Dear Abby: Im a 28-year-old man who was born disabled. I have not had a date in years. Id like to date and have a girlfriend, but when women look at me, all they see is my wheelchair. Im a good person, well-mannered, respectful, caring and compassionate.
Any advice you can offer would be appreciated. Lonely in Illinois Dear Lonely: Im glad you wrote because its important that you not allow yourself to be isolated. Get out and participate in activities you enjoy that include like-minded people. While you may have been born disabled, Im sure you have abilities and talents that would be welcomed if you choose to volunteer them. If you havent already, search the various online dating sites for both disabled and nondisabled individuals or contact a disability advocacy organization for guidance or to help you get access. Seek advice within the disabled community from individuals who have experience with dating.
They can also help you navigate any physical barriers that might prevent you from dating, if thats an issue. Theres a saying, Seek and ye shall find, and it applies in your situation. I wish you the best of luck. Dear Abby: My husbands much older sister has no problem calling to ask for money, but never calls just to say hello or to see how hes doing. This has been going on for almost 10 years. Shell tell us she or her sons need it for bills or school expenses. He has talked to her about it, but nothing has changed. We both work hard, while she refuses to ask the childrens father for a cent. Should we continue to give her money because it may affect our nephews if we dont? Aunt in the South
Dear Aunt: That you have tolerated this for 10 years tells me you and your husband are kindhearted and responsible people, and I respect that. However, fathers have a legal responsibility to support their children, and your sister-in-law should make sure it happens whether that involves hiring an attorney to help or applying for funds from the state to see her boys are taken care of. If you must give her money, give her enough for a consultation with an attorney.
To receive a collection of Abbys most memorable and most frequently requested poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
UNIVERSAL SUDOKU
CRYPTOQUOTE
HOROSCOPE
BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Youre happier when you feel you have too much to do than when you feel you dont have enough to do. For you, its a joy to be busy as long as youre doing something meaningful. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You see a shortcut, but you wont compromise your morals for anything, not even to achieve one of your most important goals. Goals achieved through amoral means do not provide satisfaction. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It is sometimes not worthwhile to fix things or fight for things. Fixing will only work for a short time. Fighting will only strengthen your opposition. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Hungry people behave differently from satisfied people. Do what you can to feed your various needs and wants, and you will avoid the pitfalls that ensnare those who hungrily take the bait. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Its not that you need life to be constantly exciting, but you do your best to entertain yourself and others through some of the duller bits. This tendency of yours will charm someone new today. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The cure for low self-esteem is not to come up with a more reasonable estimation of what you can do. Rather, its to stop thinking you always have to do. Youre worthy just because you are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Opinions arent facts. Its easier to see this when the opinions in question are someone elses. Examining your own thoughts is trickier, but youll do it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your sense of humor will be highlighted. What makes you funny is that youre so in love with the truth, and you have a way of stating it that makes people laugh instead of take offense. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Agreements that yield mutual satisfaction will be repeated, while unfair arrangements wont work for very long. Thats why its important to make sure that everyone shares in the profits. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Because you care so deeply for someone, you will knock yourself out in an effort to make this person happy. Today this wont be easy, but not caring would be harder for you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Relationships have their ups and downs, and this is definitely a high point. Spending time with the one you love makes your heart feel so light that its as though your whole being is gravity-resistant. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Learning that happens slowly will stick with you. Take large endeavors in small chunks, and dont stress over them. After a small amount of effort, put your tools down. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Sept. 26). A better structure to your finances will improve your lot in November and December. By February, youll have enough for a substantial investment. In 2014, youll break out of a stale routine to pursue a wild and exciting undertaking. Virgo and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 1, 22, 27 and 41.
