WASHINGTON Crisis legislation to
yank the nation past the threat of a historic
financial default sped through the House
Monday night, breaking weeks of deadlock.
The rare moment of cooperation turned cel-
ebratory when Rep. Gabrielle Giffords
strode in for the first time since she was shot
in the head nearly seven months ago.
The vote was 269-161, a scant day ahead of
the deadline for action. But all eyes were on
Giffords, who drew thunderous applause as
she walked into the House chamber unan-
nouncedandcast her vote infavor of the bill.
A final Senate sign-off for the measure is
virtually assured today. Aside from raising
the debt limit, the bill would slice federal
spending by at least $2.1 trillion, and per-
haps much more.
If the bill were presented to the presi-
dent, he would sign it, the White House
said, an understatement of enormous pro-
portions.
After months of fierce struggle, the
Houses top Republican and Democratic
leaders swung behind the bill, ratifying a
deal sealed Sunday night with a phone call
from House Speaker John Boehner to Presi-
dent Barack Obama.
Many Republicans contended the bill still
would cut too little from federal spending;
many Democrats said much too much. Still,
Republican lawmakers supported the com-
promise, 174-66, while Democrats split, 95-
95
The legislation will solve this debt crisis
and help get the American people back to
work, Boehner said at a news conference a
few hours before the vote.

among the un-

ries that getting a job is only go-

The seasonally adjusted unem-
ployment rate in the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Metropolitan Sta-
tistical Area rose to 9.2 percent in
June from8.7 percent in May, ac-
cording to the states Depart-
ment of Labor and Industry. That
was the highest rate in Pennsyl-
vania, the largest gain of any
MSA in the state and places the
region on par with the national
unemployment rate.
Its not good and it doesnt
look like its getting any better,
said Andrew Berger of Wilkes-
Barre. You keep hearing people
saying the recession is ending,
but those people obviously have
jobs.
Berger lost his warehouse job
in October and said he sees little
hope hell be employed when Oc-

Steven Zellers, an industry and
business analyst with the Center

some numbers of concern, but
noted there are bright spots, too,

WASHINGTON -- Republican
Reps. Lou Barletta of Hazleton
and Tom Marino of Lycoming
Township both voted in favor of
the landmark debt ceiling deal
approved Monday evening by
the House.
Both were part of the group
of conservative House GOP
freshmen whose votes were in
question on the deal to raise
the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling in
exchange for about $2.4 trillion
in cuts -- $917 billion now and
the rest later this year either by
approving the work of a special
committee or through automat-
ic across-the-board cuts trig-
gered if the committees work

In the end, the agreement
between President Obama and
congressional leaders from both
parties passed 269-161, with 66
House Republicans voting
against it and Democrats split-

MOBILE, ALA. Sugarloaf
Township native Anthony Klatch
II was indictedby anAlabama fed-
eral grand jury for allegedly bilk-
ing investors of more than $2.3
million, and was taken into custo-
dy by U.S. Marshals.
Accordingtopaperworkfiledin
theU.S. District Courtsof boththe
Middle District
of Florida and
Southern Dis-
trict of Alaba-
ma, Klatch was
indicted in Ala-
bama July 28,
arrested and
committed to
temporary de-
tention July 29 in Florida, and is
scheduled for a full detention
hearing today.
The paperwork also shows
Klatch was appointed a public de-
fender becausehecouldnot afford
an attorney, and he was granted
immediate medical attention for
an undisclosed condition.
The indictment handed down
in Alabama alleges Klatch con-
spired with Timothy Sullivan and
others in committing securities
fraud.
According to the indictment:
In January 2009, Klatch and
SullivancreatedtheTASKCapital
Partners LP hedge fund, with
Klatch as senior managing direc-
tor and chief investment officer.
Theduothensolicitedindividuals
to invest in the fund.
Fund prospectuses con-
tained material misrepresenta-
tions and material misleading
omissions, including claiming
the fund was operational since
1997, and a false claim that a pro-
fessor of finance at the University
of Chicago sat on the board of di-
rectors.
From April through October
2009, eight investors sank a bit
more than $2.3 million into the
hedge fund. Four of them lived in
Alabama, with one of those put-
ting $1.4 million into the TASK
fund. Klatch and Sullivan each in-
vested $1in TASK.
By December 2009, Klatch
and Sullivan had invested only
about 60 percent of the money,
losing the entire amount. The
indictment cites twoinvestments,
onewithAIGthat lost $3,788in15
minutes, and another in Google
that lost $25,750 in 25 minutes.
By January 2010, all eight in-
vestors hadbeentoldtheir entire
investment had been lost in a sin-
gle trade, which was not true.
About 40 percent of the mon-
ey given to TASK was used for
non-investment purposes, with
$180,592endingupintheperson-
al bank account of Klatch. Small
amounts were used in attempts
to pay off the angry investors.
The indictment calls for Klatch
to forfeit, upon conviction, $2.3
million in cash, two luxury Land
Rover vehicles purchased in 2010
and 2011 for a combined price of
$148,580, a Ferrari convertible
purchasedfor $192,000in2010, an
Aston Martin roadster purchased
for $124,300 in 2009, a BMW M3
convertiblepurchasedfor $56,000
in 2009, a town home in Center
Valley, Pa., purchased in 2007 for
$255,550, and a Sea Ray Boat pur-
chased in 2010, no value given.

DALLAS TWP. The Dallas
School Board approved a sup-
port staff contract, hired two
permanent elementary teach-
ers and reflected on the new
high school buildings progress
at its meeting Monday.
The support staff contract
was approved pending review
by Solicitor Benjamin Jones
III, but Superintendent Frank
Galicki said the negotiations
began when the contract ran
out on July 1 and both parties
found the resolution agreeable.
All positions include eight
levels of hourly wage rates.
Custodians received raises
between 18 and 25 cents, de-
pending on the level. Mainte-
nance received anywhere from
21 to 27 cents, and secretary/
clerical workers had between
18 and 24 cents added to the po-
sitions hourly rates.
The contract will remain in
tact until June 30, 2016.

fifth-grade Dallas Elementary
School teacher with a salary of

gel Bestwick, who took a leave
of absence last year and re-
signed for the 2011-12 school
year.

ed as the Dallas and Wycallis
elementary art teacher for the
2011-12 year, replacing Erin
Lypka, with a starting salary of

HANOVER TWP. The Ha-
nover Area School Board dis-
cussed the advantages of leasing
computers for teachers, students
and administration instead of
buying them at Mondays work
session.
Ron Hummer, the districts
network systems administrator,
said the current computers are
nearly six years old.
These computers, after six
years are really starting to show
their wear and tear, he said.
Hummer said the yearly pay-
ment of for a four-year lease
agreement with Apple Inc. will
cost roughly $40,000 for a total
of about $160,000. If the board
approves Hummers request at
Thursdays regular board meet-
ing, the district will acquire 150
laptops for faculty members and
seven desktop PCs for adminis-
trative assistants in the fall.
Computers for the high school
students will be leased the fol-
lowingyear, followedbycomput-
ers for students at Memorial, Ha-
nover Green and Lee Park ele-
mentary schools the subsequent
years.
Hummer said Apple agreed to
delaythefirst payment until next
July that wouldhave tocome out
of the 2012-13 budget. He asked
the board to consider establish-
ing a line item in future budgets
beginning with the 2012-13
school year, so monies could be
set aside for the cost of the lease.
The current computers will be
sold back to Apple for $150 each,
the board said.
In other business, the board
considered going green by look-
ingintoinstallinga solar farmon

A representative from Lyceum

KINGSTON -- The borough
officially entered into an inter-
governmental cooperation
agreement with several other
west side communities to
form the West Side Compost
Commission.
Kingston will now join with
Exeter, Jackson Township and
West Wyoming to purchase
and share a tub grinder that
will turn yard debris into
mulch.
The purchase of the
$431,500 piece of equipment
will be completely funded by a
grant from the state Depart-
ment of Environmental Pro-
tection. The funding will
come to the cooperating mu-
nicipalities in the form of re-
imbursement.
The respective municipal-
ities will have to fund the ini-
tial purchase. They also each
contribute roughly $3,000 for
preventative maintenance
and around $4,000 each for
Exeter grant writer Karen
Szwast.
Exeter Borough was the
lead applicant for the project.
Exeter also has a truck with
the capability to transport the
grinder to and from each mu-
nicipality on a monthly basis.
In entering into the agree-
ment, Kingston is looking to
add to its legacy of regional
cooperation. The borough
currently shares emergency
fire and medical services with
neighboring Forty Fort.
It also shares police servic-
es with Pringle.
In other business, Munici-
pal Administrator Paul Keat-
ing informed the council that
the repair of a malfunctioning
roof-mounted air conditioner
on the Hoyt Library will cost
between $15,000 and $20,000.
Council member Jack Schu-
macher asked whether other
neighboring communities
would help pay for the repair
as many of their residents also
frequent the library.
Keating said that, ideally,
other community members
would contribute, but the re-
sponsibility ultimately falls to
Kingston as the owner of the
building. Kingston also pro-
vides the library with $90,000
each year in operating costs.
Also during Mondays meet-
ing, Keating reported that,
like most area communities,
Kingston has experienced
sporadic flooding issues due
to frequent heavy rainfall.
The borough plans to spend
roughly $28,000 to repair a
pumping station located at
the corner of Mercer Avenue
and Poplar Street.
The borough spent well
over $100,000 repairing the
station in 2003. The repairs
needed now will work to fur-
ther modernize the 40-year-
old pumps, but Keating said
he fears the problems may re-
occur with the outdated
equipment.
He suggested staggering
the total replacement of the
pumps over the next several
years in order to adequately
address the flooding issues
and save on costs.
Kingston will join compost commission
Exeter and West Wyoming
boroughs and Jackson
Township also in deal.

Firefighters and police responded
to Apartment 3 at that address at

WILKES-BARRE The city has been
fining the Murray complex developer
$1,000 a day since July 12, but a Daniel
Siniawa and Associates executive said
theres been a miscommunication.
Robert Sakoski, company vice presi-
dent, said Monday he will request a
meeting with Mayor Tom Leighton and
other cityofficials todiscuss the fines be-
ing levied against Siniawas property
near Hazle Avenue and Pennsylvania
Avenue.
According to city Administrative Co-
ordinator Drew McLaughlin, Siniawa,
the Lackawanna County developer, has
been fined for violation of section 7-25 of
the City Code of Ordinances. The viola-
tion letter alleges the site continues to
be a nuisance property and in its current
condition deemed unsafe and has been
declared dangerous and unsafe.
To date, the daily fines amount to a
total of $21,000 between July 12 and
Aug. 1 and are still running until the
buildingcode office certifies that the vio-
lations have been abated, McLaughlin
said.
Sakoski said a fence has been erected
around the demolition debris on half of
the site. He said part of the complex is
for sale.
We feel that by putting the fence up,
we made the property safe, Sakoski
said. People cant casually walk in there
now.
Siniawa is removingthe debris, but its
been a slow process, he said.
Im sure that hasnt been moving as
fast as the city would like, Sakoski said.
But we are removing the debris and we
are clearing the site.
Hesaidtheother sideof thecomplex
once occupied by the former Murrays
Inn may still be developed.
But inthese difficult economic times,
developing that site might not be possi-
ble, and we may end up considering tak-
ing that building down as well, Sakoski
said.
McLaughlin said the city will meet
with Sakoski to discuss the current sta-
tus and future of the site. He said the
property owners should appeal the fines
to the citys board of appeals -- standard
procedure for every property owner in
the city who is fined by the building in-
spectors office.
In September 2009, after a fire at the
now-demolished building, Siniawa said
he planned to continue to develop the
adjacent buildingonthesitethat former-
ly housed Murrays Inn. The estimated
$20 million project would include 55
loft-style condominiums, restaurants
and 50,000-60,000 square feet of retail
space. The property is divided by the ex-
tension of Ross Street.
In February, Sakoski said the Ross
Street to Hazle Avenue side of the com-
plex was being offered for sale, and once

SALEM TWP. A woman sought
help from a friend on Facebook when
her husbandrefusedtolet her usea tele-
phone after he allegedly injured a 4-
year-old boy with a knife.
Township police alleged Joel Howard
Hosler, 55, of Third Lane, cut the boys
finger when the boy reached for a piece
of meat off his dinner plate.
Hosler was arraigned Sunday by Dis-
trict Judge MartinKane inWilkes-Barre

ple assault and reckless endangerment.
He was jailed at the Luzerne County
Correctional Facility for lack of $5,000
bail.
According to the criminal complaint:
Police received information from Lu-
zerne County 911 at about 6:30 p.m.
Sunday that a woman was reporting an
assault involving a toddler at Hoslers
residence.
Police learnedthe womanwas report-
ing information given to her from Hos-
lers wife, Mary Hosler, on Facebook.
Mary Hosler told her friend that Hos-
ler wouldnt let her call for help after he
allegedly cut the boys finger with a
knife.
Police went to the house, where Hos-
ler blocked the screen door, preventing
the boy from going outside.
Police said in the complaint that the
boy had a small laceration on his hand.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled
Wednesday before District Judge John
Hasay in Shickshinny.

WILKES-BARRE After announcing
that he will not run for a county judge-
ship this fall, attorney Harry Hamilton
onMonday calleduponLuzerne County
leadership to take steps to increase di-
versity in its court system.
Were tired that people of color are
morerepresentedinterms of beinginor-
ange (prison uniforms) and in chains
than they are in the work force in our
county courthouse. Thats a horrifying
shame and we should do something
about it, Hamilton said.
Hamilton, a former profootball player
in the NFL, said he was thankful for the
outpouring of support he has received
since announcing in mid-July that he
was consideringarunas anindependent
for one of six open judgeships that was
sparked by a lack of minority court offi-
cials.
For reasons that are both personal
andprofessional, I made the heartbreak-
ing decision not to circulate petitions
and come before you today, the filing
deadline for candidacy, to say, Not this
time, not this time, Hamilton told the
media and a small group of supporters
gathered in the county courthouse ro-
tunda for his press conference.
When he went public with news of his
possible runfor office, Hamiltonsaidhis
goal wastobringattentiontotheissueof
diversity in the courts.
I believe with the (media) coverage
last time around, we got the conversa-
tion started. Lets keep the conversa-
tion going because, through dialogue,
we can make a difference, he said.
Hamilton said he learned of only two
court-related employees who are people
of color a recently hired assistant dis-
trict attorney and a staffer of Judge Joe
Cosgrove. He saidhe heardof the hire of
one AfricanAmericanin1998, but he be-
lieves an atmosphere of non-acceptance
caused the person to resign soon after.
Hamilton said Linda Trompetter, di-
rector of the Luzerne County Diversity
Commission, has toldhimthat no repre-
sentative of the county courts has ever
attended a commission meeting.
We can change that by asking the
president judge to send someone to the
meeting. Its a small step in a direction
for change. And I do know something
about our president judge. He would re-
ceive that letter and he would act on it,
Hamilton said, referring to Court of
Common Pleas Judge Thomas Burke,
who could not be reached for comment.
Pointing to Pennsylvanias Inter-
branch Commission on Race, Gender
and Ethnic Fairness, which was formed
after a 1999 state Supreme Court study
on racial and gender bias in the justice
system, Hamilton suggested the forma-
tionof asimilar commissionfor Luzerne
Countys courts.
Hamilton said his current employ-
ment was one factor in his decision not
to run for judge because, as a govern-
ment employee, he cannot legally run
for elected office without resigning that
position. He declined to elaborate on
what the position is, but he did say the
law does allow for his appointment to a
judgeship if one became available.

Anthony gets probation
C
asey Anthony, whose whereabouts
have been a secret since her dra-
matic murder acquittal last month,
may have to report to a probation offi-
cer in central Florida this week under a
judges order Monday in another case
against her.
The Orlando judge who sentenced
Anthony last year for fraudulent check
writing signed a corrected version of
Anthonys probation order that made
clear she was supposed to start the
one-year term after her release from
jail, not while she was detained waiting
for her murder trial.
Her attorneys are likely to challenge
the revised order. One of them, Cheney
Mason, didnt immediately return a
phone call for comment, and another
attorney, Jose Baez, didnt immediately
respond to an email.

PM cautions politicians
Norways prime minister on Monday
called on political leaders to show
restraint in their public speech as the
country emerges from mourning the 77
victims of a bombing and youth camp
massacre by an anti-Muslim extremist.
Jens Stoltenberg didnt single out
anyone but seemed to be referring to
sometimes harsh discussions on im-
migration when he told Parliament
that the July 22 attacks gave reason to
reflect on what we have thought, said
and written.
We all have something to learn from
the tragedy, he told lawmakers at a
ceremony honoring the victims. We
can all have a need to say I was
wrong, and be respected for it.
SAN ANGELO, TEXAS
Polygamist files motion
Polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs
made a third attempt Monday to re-
move the Texas judge overseeing his
child sex assault case this time
based on the claim that God himself
demands a change.
The head of the Fundamentalist
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints filed a motion purporting to
quote God as saying state District
Judge Barbara Walther should step
away from this abuse of power against
a religious and pure faith in the Lord.
After a short recess, Walther ruled
the trial would continue under new
Texas Supreme Court rules that went
into effect Monday. They no longer
require an immediate hearing to recuse
a judge after evidence in a case has
been heard. A hearing will eventually
be held on Jeffs motion, but its un-
clear when.
LONDON, ENGLAND
Families give up bid
Families of victims of the 2005 Lon-
don transit bombings on Monday aban-
doned a legal bid to force the govern-
ment to hold a public inquiry into the
terrorist attack that killed 52 people.
A coroners inquest that ended in
May thoroughly investigated the role of
the emergency services and the MI5
spy agency, with the identified failures
being addressed by the relevant agen-
cies, said Clifford Tibber, a lawyer
representing 25 victims families.
Against that background our clients
recognize that any inquiry into those
matters ... would cause further unnec-
essary distress to the bereaved families,
those that survived and the individual
members of the emergency services
who attended the scenes, he said.
Some of the victims relatives say
they still have unanswered questions.

WASHINGTON Health insurance
plans must cover birth control as pre-
ventive care for women, withno copays,
the Obama administrationsaidMonday
in a decision with far-reaching implica-
tions for healthcare as well as social mo-
res.
The requirement is part of a broad ex-
pansion of coverage for womens pre-
ventive care under President Barack
Obamas health care law. Also to be cov-
ered without copays are breast pumps
for nursing mothers, an annual well-
woman physical, screening for the vi-
rus that causes cervical cancer and for
diabetes during pregnancy, domestic vi-
olence counseling and other services.
These historic guidelines are based
onscience andexisting(medical) litera-
ture andwill helpensure womenget the
preventive health benefits they need,
said Health and Human Services Secre-
tary Kathleen Sebelius.
The newrequirements will take effect
Jan. 1, 2013, in most cases. Tens of mil-
lions of womenareexpectedtogaincov-
erage initially, and that number is likely
to grow with time. At first, some plans
may be exempt due to a complex provi-
sion of the health care lawknown as the
grandfather clause. But those even
plans could face pressure from their
members to include the new benefit.
Sebelius acted after a near-unani-
mous recommendationlast monthfrom
a panel of experts convened by the pres-
tigious Institute of Medicine, which ad-
vises the government. Panel chairwo-
man Linda Rosenstock, dean of public
health at the University of California,
Los Angeles, saidthat preventionof un-
intended pregnancies is essential for
the psychological, emotional and phys-
ical health of women.
As recently as the 1990s, many plans
didnt even cover birth control. Pro-
tests, court cases, and new state laws
led to dramatic changes. Today, almost
all plans cover prescription contracep-
tives with varying copays. Medicaid,
the health care programfor low-income
people, also covers contraceptives.
Inanodtosocial andreligious conser-
vatives, the rules issued Monday by Se-
belius include a provision that would al-
low religious institutions to opt out of
offering birth control coverage. Howev-
er, many conservatives are supporting
legislation by Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, R-
Neb., that wouldcodifyarangeof excep-
tions to the new health care law on reli-
gious and conscience grounds.

LOS ANGELES Prosecutors said
Monday they will seek the death penalty
against a man accused of the Grim
Sleeper serial killings of prostitutes and
other women who were shot, strangled
or both over several decades in Los An-
geles.
The announcement came as capital
punishment is coming under increasing
fire in California for lengthy delays in ex-
ecutions and for the expenses involved
in winning cases, fighting appeals and
keeping inmates on death row.
Deputy District At-
torney Beth Silverman
told a court her office
will ask a jury for the
states harshest sen-
tence if 58-year-old
Lonnie Franklin Jr. is
convicted.
Franklin has pleaded
not guilty to the murders of 10 women
and one count of attempted murder.
Most of the victims linked to the
Grim Sleeper were found in alleyways
within a few miles of Franklins home
south of downtown Los Angeles. Those
victims were killed after some kind of
sexual contact.
The killings got their name because of
a long gap between some of the deaths,
which began in the 1980s and extended
into the 2000s.
Franklin, a mechanic, was arrested in
July 2010 and indicted.
Police have also been investigating
him in connection with other murders.
Prosecutors were granted the right to
take a voice sample from Franklin. Out-
side court, they said they want to com-
pare it tothe voice heardontwo911calls.
Detective Dennis Kilcoyne spoke to a
group of relatives of victims at the cour-
thouse and said the death penalty is al-
most a non-issue in California because
it takes so long for convicts to be execut-
ed.
In 20 to 25 years, when it comes up,
many of us wont be on this planet any-
more, he said.

Anti-government protes-
ters in the Syrian city of Ha-
ma set up barricades and
took up sticks and stones to
defend themselves Monday
after one of the bloodiest
days so far in the regimes
campaign to quell an uprising
now in its fifth month.
The protesters vowed not
to allow a repeat of 1982,
when thousands of people
were killed in Hama after
President Bashar Assads fa-
ther ordered a massacre.
As evening fell, residents
said Syrian tanks resumed in-
tense shelling of the restive
city and troops fired machine
guns at worshippers about to
head to mosques for special
nighttime prayers on the first
day of the Muslim holy
month of Ramadan. Resi-
dents had just broken their
daily dawn-to-dusk fast and
the shelling appeared aimed
at preventing the mosque
gatherings, fearing they
would trigger large anti-gov-
ernment protests.
It was the second day of
shelling of Hama and other
cities. In attacks earlier in the
day, four people were killed
in Hama and two more were
killed in other parts of the
country, residents and rights
groups said.
Its a crime! Where is the
world? Why doesnt anyone
see? cried one distraught
resident through the phone,
the sound of gunfire heard
clearly in the background.
The current crackdown ap-
pears aimed at preventing
protests fromswelling during
Ramadan. Muslims throng
mosques during Ramadan for
the special nightly prayers af-
ter breaking their daytime
fast. The gatherings could
then turn into large protests
throughout the country.
Sundays violence left 74
people dead throughout the
country, 55 of them from Ha-
ma and neighboring villages,
according to a statement is-
sued by six Syrian rights
groups.
The attacks drew harsh re-
bukes from the U.S. and Eu-
rope, which expanded its
sanctions against Syria, im-
posing asset freezes and trav-
el bans against five more mil-
itary and government offi-
cials Monday.

HARRISBURG Pennsylva-
nias state schools agency is de-
veloping a teacher-evaluation
system that puts more emphasis
onhowstudents performonstan-
dardized tests and plans this
month to ask school districts to
volunteer for a pilot program be-
ginning this fall, a spokesman
said Monday.
Department of Education
spokesman TimEller said results
of the pilot pro-
gramwould not
be used for ac-
tual evaluations
in the 2011-12
school year, but
rather to deter-
mine whether
the system can
work.
Some
schools are al-
ready asking to participate, and
state officials believe that school
administrators, as well as teach-
ers, believe that the concept is
worth exploring, Eller said.
Im not saying they agree on
the exact mechanics of how its
beenproposed, but they agree its
something that needs to be
worked at to come up with the
best system, Eller said.
State law currently precludes
student performance from being
used to evaluate teachers. But
basing the evaluations of Penn-
sylvanias roughly 130,000 teach-
ers on the standardized test
scores of students is a major pri-
ority of Gov. Tom Corbett in a
broader effort to improve the
states public schools.
President Barack Obama also
supports the use of student per-
formance in teacher evaluations.
However, critics of the concept
say no one has developed a scien-
tificwayof usingstudent achieve-
ment to identify the best teach-
ers.
Eller saidstudent performance
on two different standardized
test systems the Pennsylvania
System of School Assessment
and the Pennsylvania Value-Add-
edAssessment Systemwill de-
termine half of the scoring in the
teacher-evaluation pilot. The
PSSA is designed to track a stu-
dents learning growth from year
to year, while the PVAAS is de-
signed to track it from the begin-
ning of the year to the end, Eller
said.
The pilot wouldleave the other
half of the scoring to the district,
taking into account the measure-
ments that local administrators
view as being important as well
as a principals survey of a teach-
ers performance on things like
lesson planning and classroom
interaction, Eller said.

WILKES-BARRE Luzerne
Countys civil records office ex-
pects to have its files available on-
linebytheendof hismonth, thanks
to 22 recently purchased comput-
ers.
Deputy Prothonotary Art Bob-
bouine said Monday that the com-
puters were deliveredlast Wednes-
day and five newmonitors arrived
Monday. Files can be made availa-
ble online once software programs
are installed.
The equipment was purchased
toreplacecomputersthat weresev-
eral years oldandcouldnot handle
theofficesnewprogramsandlarge
volume of files, Bobbouine said.
Thepurchasewasmadethrough
the offices automated fund,
which consists of proceeds from
fees paid by office users.
The equipment contract was
awardedto the lowest bidder, Bob-
bouine said, and the office paid
$10,289 for the upgrade.
It was cheaper to replace them
all insteadof just doingafew, Bob-
bouine said. We would have to re-
place themall eventually anyway.
Bobbouine said the countys in-
formation technology department
will install theofficesprogramson-
tothe computers over the next few
days, andhehopestheworkwill be
done by the end of the week.
The next step, Bobbouine said,
is for GovPay, an electronic invoic-
ing system, to be installed so that
users can pay per page to look up
and retrieve documents fromtheir
home or office computers.
Bobbouine said the online sys-
tem also will reduce the work bur-
den on office employees, two in
particular, who are tasked most of
the work day with making copies
and mailing them out. Itll cut
down on postage, copy paper
those little things add up, Bob-
bouine said.
The deputy prothonotary said
that bytheendof theyeartheoffice
hopes to have the entire electronic
filing or e-filing system up and

Former Luzerne County Court
Administrator William Sharkey
was scheduled to report to a feder-
al prison Monday to begin serving
his 10-month sentence for stealing
more than$70,000inseizedillegal
gambling proceeds earmarked for
use by law enforcement.
The federal Bureau of Prisons
wont publicly disclose the loca-
tion until Sharkey, 60, of West Ha-
zleton, arrives.
Sharkey was not listed on the
bureau of prisons website. He was
scheduled to surrender by 2 p.m.,
according to federal court records.
His lawyer, Bruce Miller, saidhe
had not spoken
to Sharkey in a
few weeks and
had no idea
what facility
Sharkey would
be housed in.
Sharkey was
sentenced by
U.S. District Judge Edwin Kosik
onJune 8 to10 months ina federal
prison on charges he stole money
seized from illegal gambling oper-
ations by agents with the state Bu-
reau of Liquor Control Enforce-
ment. Themoneywassupposedto
go to a special fund for the pur-
chase of equipment for law en-
forcement agencies.
Sharkey obtained forfeiture or-
ders froma Luzerne County judge
but failed to file signed forfeiture
orders in court, according to the
U.S. Attorneys Office.
Federal prosecutors claimed
Sharkey misapplied the funds for
his own benefit instead of depos-
iting the money with the county
Treasurers Office.
The federal investigation of
Sharkey began when the Luzerne
County District Attorneys Office
detected financial wrongdoing in-
volving gambling proceeds.
Sharkey was charged on Feb. 3,
2009withtheft andcriminal forfei-
ture. He pleaded guilty to the
charges Feb. 17, 2009.
Prior to being charged, Sharkey
was on paid medical leave for five
months when federal agents exe-
cuted search warrants at the court
administrators office.
Sharkey was hired for the court
management job in 1997 after 23
years in other county positions.
His annual salary was $97,050
whenhewas firedfromcountyem-
ployment on Feb. 24, 2009.
Sharkey expected to report to jail
The former Luzerne County
official was sentenced to 10
months for taking $70,000.

It isnt the greatest deal in the
world, but it shows how much
weve changed the terms of the
debate in this town.
House Speaker John Boehner
The top Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives assessed the
situation early this week after President Barack Obama and
congressional leaders announced a historic agreement on emergency
legislation to avert the nations first-ever financial default.
Gas industry provides
positive progress for Pa.
I
t was terribly disappointing to read the
editorial Gas firms harmed by blowing
hot air (July 27) in which the newspa-
per lodged attacks on an industry thats
fueling Pennsylvanias economic and ener-
gy future. While we respect and welcome a
healthy public dialogue, this editorial
repeatedly referring to Pennsylvanians
who work in our industry and support our
communities as cronies marginalizes
and erodes these efforts.
A recent economic analysis found that in
2010 Pennsylvanians saved $633 million in
utility bills because of expanded supplies
of natural gas produced in the common-
wealth.
Further, the natural gas industry is pay-
ing hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes.
In fact, according to the state Department
of Revenue, the natural gas industry paid
more than $238 million in taxes during the
first three months of 2011. And from 2006,
weve generated more than $1.1 billion
dollars in state tax revenues.
More stable and affordable supplies of
clean-burning American energy for strug-
gling consumers and small businesses.
Thousands of jobs at a time when theyre
most needed. Heightened energy security.
You can call this positive progress a lot of
things lowdown deeds, however, is not
one of them.

Drillers, elected officials
sticking it to taxpayers
T
he final report of the Marcellus Shale
Advisory Commission is a totally bi-
ased document, developed and promot-
ed by the governor and his band of state
representatives who only represent the
multibillion-dollar gas drilling corpora-
tions.
Our state government seemingly has
been bought by these corporations with
campaign contributions.
A reasonable severance tax would solve
the state budget shortfall and reduce
school and property taxes for us, the tax-
payers.
If the drillers really were creating jobs
for Pennsylvanians, why is there such a
severe shortage of affordable housing in all
the areas where drilling occurs? It is be-
cause the drillers bring in their own em-
ployees to do the work that pays the most.
These workers come in, do the work on a
rotating schedule and leave.
They apparently pay no state income tax
in Pennsylvania. Worst yet, many drilling
support companies actually have brought
in illegal immigrants to take jobs that
should be going to state residents.
You can bet this propaganda report did
not address any of these issues.
Come on, people. Wake up and see how
the common taxpayers are being harmed
by this unholy alliance of politicians and
corporations.
Power to the people!

SEND US YOUR OPINION
K
A FEW words about the
push for a national bal-
anced budget amendment:
Psst, its a joke, pass it on
Not that Im against a
balanced budget. Far from
it. Ive been a proponent of
curbing deficit spending and reducing the
national debt since Ronald Reagan decided
to set deficit records.
Im no Washington expert and wont
pretend to speak with authority on the mach-
inations of the worlds biggest (and currently
most dysfunctional) sausage grinder. But Ive
spent 17 years covering local municipalities
and school districts that, by law, must have
balanced budgets every year. And I can tell
you from experience: Mandate a balanced
budget and you end up with juggled books.
If mandating a balanced budget really
works, how did Luzerne County end up with
a nearly half-a-billion-dollar debt that causes
annual budget trauma? How did the countys
11 school districts amass a combined debt of
nearly $371 million? How did so many of our
municipalities end up on the brink of bank-
ruptcy?
After all, each of these entities must, by
law, pass annual balanced budgets.
Part of the fiscal woes stem from the se-
vere economic downturn. But most come
from a simple fact: These local governments
borrowed money, lots of it, and then bor-
rowed more. They kept presenting balanced
budgets by calculating the debt payments
into those annual budgets; but looking at the
single-year budgets told you nothing of the
real financial underpinnings (or lack there-
of).
Local and state governments forced to
keep balanced budgets kept figuring ways to
borrow more and more money before the
first loans were repaid. Heres a purely hypo-
thetical scenario:
Lets say Luzerne County needs $50 mil-
lion quickly. The county borrows the amount
over 20 years and comfortably works out
debt payments that will keep the impact to a
minimum for taxpayers.
Five years later, the county needs another
$50 million. It borrows the money but struc-
tures a balloon payment schedule for the
new debt. Interest and payments are low
until the old debt is paid off, then climb
sharply. You technically keep the budget
balanced, even as youve doubled debt.
A few years later, county officials need
another $50 million. They cant use the bal-
loon payment trick again, so they refinance
the two older debts while borrowing the new
money, creating a new payment schedule
that will last for 30 years. Now were $150
million in debt, paying far more in interest
on the earlier debt than if we had stuck to
the original repayment schedule. But, dang
it, we have a balanced budget!
There are lots of other gimmicks: Under-
fund pension portfolios (harder under new
federal accounting standards); raid pension
funds (as Hazleton did in 2006) to pay other
costs; create a municipal authority or pri-
vate, nonprofit partner that can borrow mon-
ey for (and even from) you, such as CityVest
and the $6 million in county money that
apparently failed to save the Hotel Sterling in
Wilkes-Barre.
The list is long, and as a former editor
once said to me years ago after we unearthed
some legally suspect finagling in Hazleton
city budgets, if its this bad locally, think how
much worse it can be in Washington.
Any national balanced budget amendment
either will be written with loopholes big
enough for the U.S. Navy to sail through or
will be quickly perforated with exceptions
and work-arounds.
The real solution is much tougher; thats
why you dont hear anyone proposing it.
Make the unpopular choices every year.
And actually balance the budget.

each time the U.S.
Postal Service says it
must economize, and
this timeit couldreallyhurt. The
agencys $8.5 billion deficit will
force it tostudy whether toclose
3,700 of its 32,000 post offices.
Whilethestudymust examine

theres a chance that some of the
closures will lead to more, not
less, convenience for customers.
Thats because the Postal Ser-
vice will expand its Village Post
Office concept, which puts mail

AKING MOON
Lake Park success-
ful wont require a
dramatic makeover
of the place, because it already
has what many people want in
a recreational spot a natural
beauty and corresponding abil-
ity to calm the soul.
Planners, who last week so-
licited public in-
put on the Lu-
zerne County-
owned park,
would be wise to
model futureactiv-
ities around the
three Ws: wood-
lands, wildlife and
water. Granted,
thats not the sort
of high-tech brain-
storming coveted
in boardrooms at
Six Flags Enter-
tainment or Sony,
but it certainly
suits this site. And
if properly executed, it can
boost Moon Lakes ability to be
self-supporting.
Serenity can be hard to come
by these days, and Americans
appear ever more willingtopay
for it. Consider the popularity
of national parkpasses andeco-
tours. Or childrens back-to-na-
ture camps. If drawing people,
and their dollars, is what Lu-
zerne Countys commissioners
aim to accomplish at this un-
derappreciated, 650-acre ref-
uge in Plymouth Township,
then do it with minimal disrup-
tions to the landscape.
The commissioners recently
hired a firm to prepare a park
master plan something re-
quired to vie for and snag gov-
ernment grants. About 40 area
residents attended Thursdays
meeting, a sort of spit-balling
session to dream up potential
park uses beyond the obvious:
fishing. A second session to
hash over costs and other fac-
tors will be scheduled later.
Of course, any Moon Lake
Park blueprint should call for
restoring access to the swim-
ming pool and campground,
summertime crowd pleasers
that have been curtailed for the
past two years because of the
countys budget troubles.
Keep out the shooting range.
While one might be warranted
in the area, the
vast majority of
Americans who
traipse out-
doors these
days do so with
a camera. Cater
to the shutter-
bugs by book-
ing photogra-
phy camps
and/or lessons,
identifying or
creating trails
that takepeople
past the parks
most panoram-
ic spots and
providing nesting boxes for wa-
terfowl and other birds.
Restore the nature center
and amplify its environmental
education activities. Consider
adding a few cabins for over-
night retreats. Rent the lake-
side house, if its condition war-
rants, to honeymooners or oth-
ers.
Boost the opportunities for
mountain biking and kayaking
by, amongother things, supply-
ing rental equipment. Install
horseshoe pits and bocce ball
courts.
For the adults, build a mod-
est amphitheater at which
bluegrass and other minimally
amplified acts could perform.
For the kids, provide adventure
with rock climbing walls, zip
lines and perhaps a ropes
course.
In short, allowMoon Lake to
continue to be an outdoor es-
cape the place where peoples
blood pressure falls and their
spirits rise.

Sakoski said that if the proper-

plex was completed.
City Council has approved an
application for a $1 million grant
from the state Department of

the Luzerne County Redevelop-
ment Authority and the Wilkes-
Barre Area School District have
also approved the project and
provided financial support.
The redevelopment authority
will loan $2.2 million for the
work. The school district, county
and the city have approved a tax
diversion for the project to help
pay off the loan.

its expected to grow rapidly.
Luzerne County 911 Data/
Technical Support Manager Fred
Rosencrans proposed the new
program after seeing an online
demonstration. Dispatchers typi-
cally know only names and ad-
dresses when a call comes in, and
even that information may not be
accurate if its from a cell phone,
he said.
Fifty-seven percent, or 120,047,
of the emergency calls made to
county 911 last year came from
wireless phones, county officials
say.
911 callers may be losing con-
sciousness or unable tospeakand
alert responders to relevant de-
tails, such as their allergy to pen-
icillin or aspirin products, Rosen-
crans said.
This supplemental database
will provide important informa-
tion to the person who will be
working on you, and thats a ma-
jor benefit, he said.
The data will also be conveyed
to other 911 centers throughout
the country that participate in
Smart 911 if local residents use
their cell phones when theyre
traveling, he said.
Landline-tax funded
The service, purchased from
Rave Mobile Safety Inc., will cost
$415,000 over five years. The ex-
pense is funded by a $1.25 fee on
landline phones. This money
must be used for improving 911
services and may not cover coun-
ty general fund operating expens-
es, according to 911.
Information may be entered by
visiting www.smart911.com and
clicking on the register now
button. Participants must set upa
user ID and password.

entered first, including both resi-
dences and offices. Information
about a buildings color and sid-
ing, gas valves and electrical pan-
els and bedroom locations is re-
questedalongwithany special in-
structions on how to find or gain
access to the property, such as
major cross streets, mile markers,
landmarks or security systems.
Critical care information about
people is entered next, with the
option to include all household
members tied to a particular
phone number. Physical descrip-
tions, primary and secondary lan-
guages, blood types, allergies,
medical conditions and medica-
tions may be submitted for each
person.
Photos may also be uploaded,
which is encouraged for children.
If a child is abducted, the 911 dis-
patcher could instantly send a
photo of the child along with the
written Amber Alert message,
rather than waiting for police to
obtain a photo. Local police
would access the photo their cell
phones or computers, making it
easier to spot the child.
Rescue information
The list of rescue information
is extensive, giving participants
the ability to note if any house-
hold members are confined to a
bed or wheelchair, hard of hear-
ing, reliant on walkers, over 300
pounds or using oxygen tanks.
Participants may list descrip-
tions of their vehicles, which
could be particularly helpful if
they make an emergency call
from their cell phones during
travel.
Pet information includes the
animals name, species, weight
and veterinarian name and num-
ber.

be designatedincase first respon-
ders need to contact a family

percent, with 1,200 more people
working. In neighboring Lacka-
wanna County, the rate re-
mained the same at 9.1 percent
and in Wyoming County, the
third county thats part of the
MSA, the rate climbed from 9.2
percent to 9.4 percent. Anthony
Liuzzo, director of the master of
business administration pro-
gram at Wilkes University, said
he understands that for those
who see the latest numbers,
theres a sense of frustration and
a belief that local economic con-
ditions arenot improving. But he
saidthat inthe longterm, the fig-
ures arent that bad.
Though the areas unemploy-
ment rate increased a half of a
percentage point from May to
June, when compared to last
June, the rate is actually a half of
a percentage point lower.
The regions seasonally adjust-
ed total non-farmjobs decreased
800 to 253,600 in June, but over
the past year, that total is up by
1,500.
Its slow, its painful, its frus-
trating, Liuzzo said. Its like
coming out of serious surgery.
Youre healthier than when you
went into surgery, but youre still
in a lot of pain and recovering.
Keystone College business
professor Dana Harris said the
report looks worse than it really
is.
Typically in June, you do see
an increase in the unemploy-
ment rate, she said, also noting
that when compared year over
year, rather than month to
month, the figures look much
better.
Liuzzo said the fact the rate
has now increased two consecu-
tive months after many months
of declines is alsofrustrating, but
Zellers said most analysts would
agree that the months of May
and June are typically going to
see increases because schools
are out and graduates are enter-
ing the labor force, driving the
applicant pool up and thereby
raising the number of unemploy-
ed.
So, not only were there 800
fewer jobs in June compared to
May, there also were 2,000 more
people looking for work, accord-
ing to the state report.
Hampton was laid off when
her employer, the Medicine
Shoppe in Moscow, closed for
business.
She said shes not too worried
right now, other thanthe fact she
and her 2 -year-old and her
have lost their insurance. She
said that in a fewmonths, if shes
still not employed, she may start
to panic.
I dont knowif Imjust still in
shock, but its not setting in yet,
Hamptonsaid. She saidthe addi-
tional people in an already
crowded applicant pool arent a
huge concern, but shes definite-
ly aware of them.
Because unemployment is
newto her, she said she feels like
she can still pick and choose
through help wanted ads for a
job thats right for her. But she
admits that as the months go on,
shell have to start looking at po-
sitions she may have ignored in
June and July.
Harris said, Its a slow proc-
ess. Consumer confidence is not
backyet. Employer confidence is
not back yet.
For people like Berger, the in-
creased competition is anything
but good news.
Im not only competing with
the people like me who have
been looking for work for
months, but now its with the
kids just out of high school or
college willing to accept a job for
little pay just to get their foot in
the door, Berger said. Its bad
and getting worse.
Liuzzo noted the numbers re-
leased Monday are for June so
were looking in the review mir-
ror and seeing the bumps weve
already gone over. He said
things may be getting better
right now, but we wont know it
for two months.
He said hes confident the re-
gionis headinginthe right direc-
tion.
Over the next few months,
things should get better, Liuzzo
said, adding This getting better
is not goingtobeall of asudden.

race for mayor.
Summers joins the mayoral
race that includes two-term in-
cumbent Democrat Tom Leight-
on and Republican challenger Li-
sa Cope.
Summers submitted her pet-
itions to the Luzerne County Bu-
reau of Elections on Monday af-
ternoon. She also submitted pet-
itions on behalf of John M. DiLi-
berto Jr., candidate for City
Council in District C. DiLiberto
will run against Maureen Lavelle,
Democrat, and Stephen J. Urban,
a Republican, in the November
general election.
I wish her luck and look for-
ward to discussing the future is-
sues related to the city over the
next several months, Leighton
said when told of Summers en-
tranceintotherace. Inthemean-
time, I will continue the hard
work that I have been committed
to over the last 7
1
2 years to keep
the progress and city moving in
the right direction.
Cope, 45, of HighStreet, tooka
stronger position on Summers
candidacy. Cope took exception
to Summers assertion that the
race has beentooquiet andneeds
a strong voice to bring the issues
to the voters.
She was
quoted in the
paper saying I
wasnt speak-
ing up or cam-
paigning, and
that is just
wrong, Cope
said. Ive been
campaigning
andIve beenin
the newspa-
pers and on the
radio.
She said
Summers has every right to run,
but with a third candidate, she
feels it will bemoredifficult toun-
seat Leighton.
If she reallythinks she canwin
and do a better job than me or
Mayor Leighton, thats fine, but
dont use me as a cop out, Cope
said.
Cope said she and her support-
ers have done the math on city
voters. She said she has come to
the conclusion that there are ap-
proximately 6,000 Leighton lov-
erswhowill voteforthemayorin
every election.
In reality, in this city and ev-
erywhereelse, twopartiesarerec-
ognized Democrat andRepubli-
can, Cope said. I think (Sum-
mers) will have a hard time. By
making it a three-party race, she
will hurt my vote total. And if she
thinks she can win, well, I think
shes wrong.
Summers said she has a
10-point plan for the city that in-
cludes cutting the mayors salary
by $10,000 and eventually transi-
tioning the position to part-time
status at far less money.
We have a City Council andan
administrator, Summers said.
In most cities the size of Wilkes-
Barre, the mayor is a part-time
employee.
Cope said she disagreed with
that and said she will work full
time and be available around the
clock, if elected.
Summers said she would eval-
uate all city positions and make
cuts soshe couldreduce the citys
wage tax from3 percent to .5 per-
cent. She said she would elimi-
natepensions for electedofficials.
No elected officials should re-
main on the backs of the tax-
payers for life, Summers said.
Thats why we need new blood
on City Council too.
Summers wants to get resi-
dents more involved with their
neighborhoods to create a pride
in community atmosphere. She
said the city needs to develop a
closer relationship with Crime
Watch to assure safety of resi-
dents.
Right now I see a very antag-
onistic relationship between the
public and City Hall, she said.
We need to make the city better,
safer andcleaner. Weneedpeople
helping people.
Summers wants to revamp the
citys building inspection and li-
censing departments, the gar-
bage collection fees and would
call for an audit of all city depart-
ments.
These are hard times, she
said. Everyone is feeling the
pinch of this economy.
Summers said the city is in
needof aconduct, accountability
and ethics code. She said every-
body in city government needs to
learnwhat ethical behavior is and
isnt.
It seems to be a problem,
Summers said.
Summers said there seems to
be a fear throughout the city that
people are afraid to speak out
against the administration.
That feeling needs to be
erased, she said.

The Democratic leader, Rep.
Nancy Pelosi, was far less effu-
sive. Im not happy with it, but
Im proud of some of the accom-
plishments in it. Thats why Im
voting for it.
So, too, many of the first-term
Republicans whose election in
2010 handed the GOP control of
the House and set the federal
government on a new, more con-
servative course.
Its about time that Congress
come together and figure out a
way to live within our means,
said one of them, Sean Duffy of
Wisconsin. This bill is going to
start that process, although it
doesnt go far enough.
The measure would cut feder-
al spending by at least $2.1 tril-
lion over a decade and possi-
bly considerably more and
would not require tax increases.
The U.S. debt limit wouldrise by
at least $2.1 trillion, tiding the
Treasury over through the 2012
elections.
If legislation is not in place by
the end of today, the Treasury
will run out of cash needed to
pay all its bills. Administration
officials say a default would en-
sue severe damage to the econo-
my.
Beyond merely avoiding di-
saster, Obama and congression-
al leaders hoped their extraor-
dinary accord would reassure in-
vestors at home and around the
world, preserve the United
States AAAcredit rating and be-
gin to slow the growth in Amer-
icas soaring debt.
After months of suspense,
Mondaynights vote was anti-cli-
mactic.
Not so the moment when Gif-
fords presence became known.
She greeted some fellow law-
makers who crowded around
her and blew kisses to others,
beaming the whole while. Her
hair was dark and close cropped
and she wore glasses nothing
like the image America had of
her six months ago when she
was shot while greeting constit-
uents outside a supermarket in
Tucson.
She did not speak with report-
ers.
As for the legislation, after
months of wrangling over a deal,
there was little time left for law-
makers to decide how to vote.
The White House dispatched
Vice President Joe Biden to the
Capitol to lobby recalcitrant
Democrats in both houses.
They expressed all their frus-
tration, he conceded after a ses-
sion with lawmakers of his party
in the House.
He saidthe deal has one over-
whelming redeeming feature
postponing the next debt lim-
it battle until 2013 and putting
the current fight behind. We
have to get this out of the way to
get to the issue of growing the
economy, he said.
Republicans lobbied their
rank and file as well, and the re-
sults were far more positive for
themthan a week ago when they
were forced to delay a vote on an
earlier measure.
GOPleaders swiftly drewpub-
lic pledges of support fromsome
first-termers as well as veteran
defense hawks two areas of
concern with the agreement.
Rep. C.W. (Bill) Young, chair-
man of the committee that han-
dles the defense budget, said,
Were confident that we can
make this happenwithout affect-
ing readiness and without affect-
ing any of our soldiers.
There is little suspense about
the outcome for the debt-limit
legislation in the Senate today.
A member of the Republican
leadership in the Senate predict-
ed strong GOP support. Maybe
35 (of 47) will support it in the
end. There will be some who
will pull back, said Sen. Mike
Crapo of Idaho.
Already, the legislation was
emerging as an issue in the 2012
presidential campaign.
Rep. Michele Bachmann of
Minnesota and former Massa-
chusetts Gov. Mitt Romney an-
nounced their opposition, while
Newt Gingrich issued a state-
ment without saying how he
would vote.
The final legislation reflected
the priorities of the two political
parties.
It wouldimmediately increase
the debt limit by $400 billion,
with another $500 billion envi-
sioned unless Congress blocks
it. At the same time, it would cut
more than $900 billion over 10
years from the day-to-day oper-
ating budgets of Cabinet agen-
cies. For the budget year that be-
gins Oct. 1, spending would be
held$7billionbelowcurrent lev-
els.
The measure also establishes
a 12-member House-Senate
committee that will be charged
with producing up to $1.5 tril-
lion in additional deficit cuts
over a decade. If the panel suc-
ceeds, Congress will be required
to vote on the recommendations
without possibility of changes.
If the panel deadlocks or fails
toproduce at least $1.2trillionin
deficit savings, then spending
cuts are to take effect across
much of the federal budget. The
Pentagon, domestic agencies
and farm subsidies would be af-
fected, as would payments to
doctors and other Medicare pro-
viders. But individual benefits
under Social Security, Medicaid,
Medicare and programs for vet-
erans and federal retirees would
be exempt.
HOUSE
day that he would oppose the
debt ceiling deal, which nonethe-
less is expected to pass the Sen-
ate by a wide margin and be sent
to Obama for his signature just
ahead of the government begin-
ning to default on its obligations
today.
While I appreciate the hard
workandeffort that has gone into
this deal, it simply does not con-
tain meaningful spending cuts,
nor does it put us ona sustainable
fiscal path, Toomey said in a
statement Monday.
Casey had said Sunday that,
No compromise is perfect and
the process that has brought the
country to the brink of default is
unconscionable. I will vote to
move this compromise forward
to avoid default, cut government
spending and provide some eco-
nomic certainty.
Marino said he voted for the
bill inthe House because, for the
first time, we took a step toward
giving Americans a government
that lives within its means. This
is a beginning, not an end. This
debt is a problem both parties
created over decades and much
workremains toput anendtothe
excesses of Washington.
Marino said he believes the
measure will help the economy
and job creation because it
doesnt contain tax increases, re-
duces the level of federal spend-
ing andrequires a vote onthe bal-
anced budget amendment.
While some House Republi-
cans voted against it because
they felt the bill didnt cut spend-
ing by enough and didnt require
passage of a balanced budget
amendment in exchange for rais-
ing the debt ceiling, Marino con-
tended the new Republican ma-
jority and large contingent of
House GOP freshmen have
changed the discussion in Wash-
ington.
The voice of the American
people is finally being heard in
Washington, he said.
The debate has turned from:
How much taxpayer money can
we dole out and how many gov-
ernment programs can we cre-
ate? to How much money can
we save and what is the best way
to balance the budget?
Barletta said that while he
didnt think the debt ceiling deal
was perfect, I cannot let the per-
fect be the enemy of the good.
He said he recognizes that for
some, this bill doesnt move far
enough, fast enough. But Wash-
ington has overspent for genera-
tions, and we cannot change
Washingtons direction over-
night, pledging that he would
continue to seek additional
spending controls so we get to re-
duce our debt, restore global
trust in the American economy,
and create stability so business
owners can create jobs.

DALLAS Even though Rusty
Flack passed away on May 26, his
presence was felt at the Luzerne
Foundations annual golf tourna-
ment Monday at the Huntsville Golf
Club.
The organizers of the Monsignor
Andrew J. McGowan Memorial Cup
decided to dedicate this years event
to Flacks memory.
Charles Barber, the president and
CEO of The Luzerne Foundation,
said it was an appropriate way to
keep Flacks spirit alive.
Rusty was a wonderful friend
and mentor, and he was certainly an
inspiration who strived to improve
The Luzerne County Foundation,
Barber said.
Flack, who passed away at 56,
was the chairman of Diamond Con-
solidated Industries. He helped
found the Luzerne Foundation in
1994, and served as its chairman for
10 years.
Rusty always listened and gave
you his help, Barber said. He gave
you the benefit of his experience
and he always saw the big picture.
According to Barber, Flack played
a key role in the foundations devel-
opment and success.
Rusty hired me. He conveyed the
mission and hope of our involve-
ment in the community, and how I
could help move that mission for-
ward. Everything he did was for the
good of the community.
Mike Weaver, chairman of the
golf tournament, expressed similar
admiration.
He was a philanthropist, friend
and family man, Weaver said. He
was universally liked. We were
thankful for his involvement in the
foundation. He was full of life and
he lit up a room. Everybody was
always happy to see him.
Phil Decker, of Dallas Township,
said the foundation thrived under
Flacks guidance.
He lived a good life and always
had a positive outlook, Decker CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/FOR THE TIMES LEADER

MOOSIC The month of August
means the International League sched-
ule is winding down with a little more
than a month left in the regular season.
With Scranton/Wilkes-Barre playing
three games against one of the teams
its chasing, Mondays double-
header against Lehigh Valley
was critical.
The Yankees didnt gain any
ground on the first-place Iron-
Pigs but didnt lose any either,
splitting a doubleheader at
PNC Field. The IronPigs won
the first game 4-2 and the Yan-
kees won the nightcap 4-1 to
snap a five-game losing streak
and remain four games behind
Lehigh Valley in the IL North
standings.
The IronPigs took the first
game behind six strong innings
from rehabbing Philadelphia
starter Roy Oswalt and an ex-
tra-inning two run home run by
Brandon Moss.
Oswalt allowed a pair of runs and
seven hits. Kevin Russo and Mike
Lamb had two hits each against one of
the Phillies four aces.
The Yankees were up 2-0 after an RBI
single by Greg Golson in the first and a
another by Austin Krum in the fourth.
Oswalt kept Lehigh Valley in the
game striking out four and walking
two. He threw 90 pitches, 62 of them
for strikes.
A couple innings, the command was
a little off. Then later in the game I felt
like it was better, Oswalt said. I only
had one guy hit one fastball. Most of
the hits were jamb shots or hit off the
end (of the bat).
In the sixth, Lehigh Valleys Erik
Kratz got to Yankees close Kevin Whe-
lan once again.
Kratz, who hit a game-winning home
run off the righty earlier in the
season, came through on Mon-
day with a two-run double in
the frame to get Oswalt off the
hook.
The two runs that scored
were inherited runners from
starter Lance Pendleton, who
got the start and lasted 4
1
3 in-
nings with five strikeouts.
Oswalt then came out in the
bottom of the sixth and retired
the side in order.
Lehigh Valley went ahead in
the eighth on a two-run shot by
Brandon Moss, his 20th long-
ball of the year.
The Yankees won the second
game behind a strong effort
from starter George Kontos,
who lasted five innings striking out
seven and only allowing three hits and
one run; he didnt walk anyone.
Hes done a good job in all the
games that weve used him, Yankees
manager Dave Miley said about his
Game 2 starter. Tonight, to give us
five innings on the pitch count that he
had, you couldnt ask for a better job
than that.

It didnt matter to
Roy Oswalt how
many hits he sur-
rendered, but the
quality of them.
So when Kevin
Russo doinked a
leadoff double and
Jesus Montero brought him home by
flaring a single in the first inning
against him, Oswalt was unfazed.
He was too focused on working
the strike zone Monday during a
minor league rehabilitation start,
and working his way back into the
already-stacked rotation of the Phila-
delphia Phillies.
Oswalt believes he is ready to
shift into gear for that mission, de-
spite some shaky numbers against
the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees.
The fact Oswalt allowed seven
hits and two walks in six innings to
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre batters didnt
bother him as much as the 61 strikes
he threw during his 90-pitch outing
at PNC Field buoyed his confidence.

M A J O R L E A G U E B A S E B A L L
WASHINGTON Rick
Ankiel has been on a tear since
coming off the disabled list a
month ago. Against the Atlanta
Braves on Monday night he
gave his best performance yet
with two home runs in a 5-3
win.
Ankiel led off the bottom of
the first with a homer to center
field, and his homer in the fifth
inning landed deep in the sec-
ond deck in left. It was the fifth
multihomer game of his career,
and the solo shots gave Ankiel
five home runs this season.
Sometimes you say, Its not
how far, its how many, but
both of those were pretty far,
teammate Jayson Werth said.
Werth is the only other Na-
tional with a first-inning leadoff
homer this season, doing it on
June 16 against St. Louis.
Ankiel was hitting .204 with
one home run and nine RBIs
when he came off the disabled
list on July 1 after recovering
from a strained rib cage mus-
cle. Since then, hes batting
.351 with four homers and 10
RBI.
One thing, hes getting to
play, Nationals manager Da-
vey Johnson said. Its awfully
hard to sit, especially if youre
capable of being a power hitter
like he is.
Atlanta second baseman Dan
Uggla homered twice, in the
second and ninth innings,
giving him 22 this season.
Uggla went 3 for 4, extending
his career-long hitting streak to
23 games.
The Nationals have been one
of the few teams to figure out
Atlanta starter Jair Jurrjens
(12-4), who allowed five runs
and seven hits in five-plus
innings and lost for the first
time in eight starts. The last
time Jurrjens faced the Nation-
als on July 17, he gave up six
runs in five innings.
Phillies 4, Rockies 3
COLORADO Shane Victo-
rino clubbed a solo home run
in the top of the 10th inning as
the Phillies scored a come-
from-behind victory.
The Phillies trailed 3-1 head-
ing into the ninth, but John
Marberry Jr. hit a two-run
home run off Huston Street to
tie the game.
Cubs 5, Pirates 3
PITTSBURGH Starlin
Castro had three hits and Car-
los Zambrano survived six
choppy innings as the Chicago
Cubs beat the slumping Pitts-
burgh Pirates to spoil slugger
Derrek Lees two-homer debut
with his new team.
Lee, acquired in a trade with
the Baltimore Orioles on Sat-
urday night, knocked in all
three Pittsburgh runs but it
wasnt enough as the Pirates
lost for the sixth time in eight
games. Ryan Ludwick, picked
up by the Pirates just before
the trade deadline, went 0 for 3
with a walk
Zambrano (8-6) picked up
his 13th career win over Pitts-
burgh, tied with Aaron Harang
for second-most among active
pitchers. Zambrano struck out
five and walked three while
giving up seven hits. Carlos
Marmol pitched a perfect ninth
to collect his 21st save.
Marlins 7, Mets 3
NEW YORK Mike Stan-
ton hit a grand slam in the 10th
inning and the Florida Marlins
quickly recovered from Lucas
Dudas tying homer with two
outs in the ninth to beat the
New York Mets.
Mets nemesis Gaby Sanchez
drove in two runs and singled
to start the decisive rally. Stan-
ton threw out a runner at the
plate in the fifth and Florida
got seven strong innings from
starter Javier Vazquez. The
Marlins then took advantage of
a defensive mistake by first
baseman Daniel Murphy in the
10th.
Brewers 6, Cardinals 2
MILWAUKEE Nyjer Mor-
gan hit a go-ahead, three-run
double and the surging Mil-
waukee Brewers scored five
runs in the fifth inning off
Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter
to rally for a win over St. Louis
and extend their season-best
winning streak to seven.
Milwaukee (61-49) moved 3
1-2 games ahead of St. Louis in
the NL Central, its biggest lead
of the season. The Brewers and
Cardinals will play 11 more
times this year.
Astros 4, Reds 3
HOUSTON Rookie Jose
Altuve drove in a run on a
fielders choice in the 10th
inning to lift the new-look
Houston Astros to a win over
the Cincinnati Reds.
The bases were loaded when
Altuve hit a hard grounder to
Brandon Phillips, who grabbed
it and made a throw home
from his knees. But catcher
Ryan Hanigan couldnt handle
the throw, allowing Humberto
Quintero to score.
N AT I O N A L L E A G U E R O U N D U P
Ankiel hits 2 HRs
in Nats 5-3 win
CHICAGO CC Sabathia
pitched eight strong innings
to earn his major league-best
16th win and the New York
Yankees beat the Chicago
White Sox 3-2 on Monday
for their fourth consecutive
victory.
Sabathia allowed two runs
and 10 hits, matching a sea-
son high, but managed to
wiggle out of trouble all
night as the White Sox
struggled to score without
injured slugger Paul Konerko.
They put the tying run in
scoring position in the fifth,
sixth and seventh and came
away with nothing each
time.
Sabathia (16-5) improved
to 9-1 with a 1.76 ERA in
his last 10 starts, burnishing
his credentials for a second
AL Cy Young Award. The
big left-hander has pitched at
least six innings in each of
his last 21 outings.
Mariano Rivera pitched a
perfect ninth for his 28th
save in 32 chances and sec-
ond in as many days.
Indians 9, Red Sox 6
BOSTON Asdrubal Ca-
breras second two-run homer
of the game, originally ruled
a single off the short wall in
right field and overturned by
replay review, broke an
eighth-inning tie and lifted
the Cleveland Indians to a
win over the Boston Red
Sox.
Travis Hafner homered
after Cabreras first of the
game as the Indians won for
just the third time in their
last 11 games.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia had
a broken-bat two-run homer
and Carl Crawford had a
solo homer, double and
scored two runs for Boston,
which was coming off a 20-6
record in July its first
20-win month since May
2007.
Cabreras homer came off
reliever Daniel Bard (1-5)
and halted his scoreless in-
nings streak at 26 1-3, long-
est active in the majors.

Vick missed two seasons
while servingprisontime for his
involvement in a dogfighting
ring before returning to football
in 2009. He was eased back into
things by the Eagles before tak-
ing over as the starting quarter-
back last year and capping a ter-
rific, highlight-filled season by
being selected the APs Come-
back Player of the Year.
Hes been a good friend of
mine for a long time, Burress
said. For him to come back at
that elite level, it just shows a lot
about him and his drive and his
makeup. Im just happy for him,
and if it wasnt for maybe him
going through what he went
through, maybe I wouldnt be
here today.
Burress is a former Super
Bowl star with the Giants. He
caught the winning touchdown
pass in the upset of the unbea-
ten NewEngland Patriots in the
2008 Super Bowl before his ca-
reer derailedafter he accidental-
ly shot himself in a New York
nightclub later that year.
After being released from
prison, Burress worked out near
his home in South Florida with
several NFL quarterbacks in-
cluding Matthew Stafford. He
worked on his route running
and pass catching, and that ex-
perience gives him the confi-
dence he can be a star wide re-
ceiver in the NFL again.
It just feels like I never left,
he said. I do expect some rust
at some point, but I feel great
and Im healthy, which I havent
been in a long, long time. And I
think thats going to be the dif-
ference in me getting back to
where I want to be.
Quarterback Mark Sanchez,
who one of several teammates
who chatted on the sideline
with Burress during the morn-
ing walkthrough and afternoon
practice, has already been im-
pressed with what he has seen.
Hes picking up the offense
very quickly, which is no sur-
prise, Sanchez said.
Burress, wearing a green vi-
sor, gray long-sleeved T-shirt
and Jets shorts, and every other
newly signed free agent in the
league cant practice until the
union ratifies the labor agree-
ment with the owners.
Patience, man, he said. Ive
been away and thats one of the
greatest things Ive learned
through this whole process is
that its all comingtogether. Just
take it one day at a time and be
patient. You know its coming.
Todays Monday and Imitching
a little bit to get back out there,
but its slowly coming. Imnot in
a rush. Itll be here before you
know it.
Even before the nightclub in-
cident, Burress was sometimes
considered a malcontent, some-
one who was late for teammeet-
ings and didnt always appear
motivated. But, he said, that
was back then.
I went through a lot of differ-
ent things emotionally during
that time, Burress said. I had
all the time in the world to think
about so many things that I did.
Being that Imhere now, I really
dont have the time to reflect on
any of the things I didnegatively
because its so far away from
where I want to be as a person
first and as a player.
Im in a happy place right
now.

Our girls never quit, the Sec-
tion 5 tournament all the way
through, KFF manager Mark
Kloskosaid. Theyarethebest12
girls Ive ever been around. They
all deserve the biggest round of
applause you can ever imagine.
The cheering looked like it had
a chance to last one more day as
the teams entered the fifth tied
1-1. Nina Magnotta hit a two-out
single for KFF in the second to
score Mandi Zawadzki, who had
also singled with two outs. Wil-
liamsport tied the score in the
fourth when Jessica Brooks bunt-
ed home Katee Cassidy from
third.
That bunt was a sign of what
was to come in the next innings.
Williamsport, which outscored
its two previous sectional oppo-
nents 21-1, was able to get run-
ners onearly but couldnt get that
big hit against KFF starter Melo-
di Raskiewicz.
Instead, Williamsport settled
for some little ones, bunting four
times in its seven-run fifth before
Madison Bowman knocked in
three runs with a double and Ta-
bitha Koons later followed with a
two-run double.
We wanted the girls to move
runners, Williamsport manager
Bo Hornberger said. We didnt
hit the ball well tonight, and
were a good hitting team.
KFF came back with a pair of
runs in the bottomof the innings,
cutting the deficit to 8-3. Magnot-
taledoff withasingleandtheball
was misplayed, allowing her to
get to third. An out later, she
scored on an error on Morgan
Sullivans grounder. KFF man-
aged to load the bases with one
out, but could get only one more
run across.
Theyhadnofear, Kloskosaid
of his team. Thats how theyve
been fromday one. It was take us
on, give us your best shot and
were going to come right back at
you.

SOFTBALL
I dont really respond much
to hits, Oswalt said, and its
easy to see why.
Hes surrendered nearly
2,000 of them during his 11-
year major league career.
Yet, the crafty 33-year-old
right-handed pitcher with the
wicked curveball has been a
three-time National League
All-Star and a two-time 20-
game winner. Hes finished
among the top five in Nation-
al League Cy Young Award
voting five times, completed
five seasons with an ERA
under 3.00 and won at least
13 games during eight of his
past 10 seasons.
His .634 winning percentage
ranks second among baseballs
active starters.
And yet, his performances
for the Phillies havent exactly
been full of zip this year.
Itd take a Ziploc bag to
freshen up some of the per-
formances from the first part
of a 2011 season thats saddled
Oswalt with a 4-6 record, a
3.79 ERA and the .276 batting
average the National League
holds against him.
Some of those struggles can
be attributed to a bad back.
Some of the trouble was due
to bad luck.
But at least part of it was
because of bad pitching.
The Phillies need Oswalt to
be as good as he was for
them last year during the
stretch run, with a 7-1 record
and 1.74 ERA after they pried
him from Houston at the
trading deadline.
Hed gladly trade the first
part of this season for a bet-
ter second half.
Oswalt felt as if he were
working with about half his
strength as he tried to pitch
through lower back inflamma-
tion that finally landed him
on the disabled list June 24
and eventually sent him to
PNC Field for the tail end of
his recovery process.
He spent more than a week
away from the Phillies when
April turned to May, helping
his family in luckless Mis-
sissippi recover from tornado
damage after the weather-
beaten state was struck by
deadly storms for the second
straight year.
Now, hes got to restore
some order to his season.
Right now, its just getting
back in that rhythm of pitch-
ing, Oswalt said, after five
weeks being off the mound.
He still has plenty of time
to turn it on when he joins a
Phillies rotation featuring Roy
Halladay, Cliff Lee, Cole Ha-
mels and wonder boy Vance
Worley.
They have helped the Na-
tional League East-leading
Phillies to baseballs best re-
cord, but Oswalt promises to
make them even better.
Its going to be fun, espe-
cially with the team weve got
now, Oswalt said, eyeing a
World Series run. Weve got
the guys to get there, got a
lot of guys back healthy.
The Phillies could always
use another one whos intent
on moving them forward in-
stead of looking back.

lead, but this time it didnt re-
linquish the advantage.
Luis Nunez doubled to score
Jordan Parraz in the second
and Jorge Vazquez slammed a
run-scoring double in the third
for the lead.
Nunez, who was playing at
second base in the second
game, made a superb leaping
catch in the sixth to end the
inning with IronPigs runners
on second and third.
From my vantage point, it
was one of those that just kept
rising, Miley said. For him to
make that catch timing has to
be impeccable and right on the
nose and thats basically what
it was.
The Yankees added two
more in the fifth. Jesus Monte-
ro had an RBI-double in the
frame for a 4-1 lead.
Lehigh Valleys lone run
scored in the top of the fifth on
a solo shot by Kevin Frandsen.
Kevin Russo had a big day
for the Yankees going 5-for-8
during the doubleheader.
NOTES
The Yankees will call up
pitcher Manny Banuelos to
start today vs. the IronPigs.
For Double-A Trenton, the lef-
ty was 4-5 with a 3.59 ERA.
The same source cited by
The Trenton Times that Ba-
nuelos would be promoted on
Sunday also cited that Yankees
catcher Jesus Montero is close
to being called up to the big
leagues. The source also said
that Banuelos teammates at
Trenton, starter Dellin Betanc-
es and catcher Austin Romine
are nearing a promotion to
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
SWB first baseman Jorge
Vazquez was named Interna-
tional League Batter of the
Week from July 25-31. Vazquez
hit .300 (9-for-30) with four
home runs and 31 RBI in seven
games for the Yankees.
Lehigh Valleys Domonic
Brown entered the second
game of the doubleheader with
a club-record 21-game hitting
streak after going 2-for-3 in the
first game. He was 0-for-3 in
the nightcap as the mark came
to an end.
The attendance for the
doubleheader was 5,376The
time of the first game was 2
hours, 12 minutes and the sec-
ond game was 1 hour, 57 min-
utes.

UNIONDALE, N.Y. Vot-
ers in a suburban New York
community already paying
some of the highest property
taxes in the country rejected
a referendum Monday to bor-
row $400 million for the con-
struction of a new hockey are-
na and ballpark.
The referendum failed in a
33,526 to 24,553 vote Mon-
day in what elections officials
said was a very low turnout
for the unusual midsummer
election.
Nassau County officials
who backed the effort say the
August vote was needed to
give officials enough time to
build a replacement for the
Nassau Veterans Memorial
Coliseum before the New
York Islanders lease expires
in 2015.
Without a new building,
the hockey teams owner,
Charges Wang, has said he
may have to move off Long
Island.
Abysmally low, is how
Nassau County Board of Elec-
tions Commissioner William
Biamonte described turnout
for the unusual mid-summer
election. He said approxi-
mately 20,000 voters had cast
ballots in the first several
hours after polls opened at 6
a.m.; voters had until 9 p.m.
to cast their ballots.
The commissioner, a Dem-
ocrat, said there were some
minor problems with some
workers arriving late to poll-
ing places, but no major is-
sues.
The county executive and
others consider the vote a
last-ditch effort to keep the
NHLs New York Islanders
from relocating when the
teams lease expires in 2015.
Wang said he will have to
consider his options, includ-
ing selling or moving to a
new city if voters reject Mon-
days referendum.
Wang tried to privately de-
velop the property about
eight years ago, envisioning
an expansive complex of of-
fice buildings, apartments
and retail stores.
That proposal, called the
Lighthouse Project, failed be-
cause of community opposi-
tion. Now, he is backing a
publicly financed plan.
Nassau residents last year
paid an average property tax
bill of $11,500, nearly the
highest in the country. The
county portion of that tab is
16.4 percent.
The rest goes to finance
schools, although the county
has no say over school dis-
trict spending, which is decid-
ed in each local municipality.
Mangano says the average
cost to taxpayers would be as
little as $14 per year; others
estimate the average could be
four times that amount.

By FRANK ELTMAN
Associated Press
MOBILE, Ala. After a year
off because of injury, heavy-
weight Michael Hunter wanted
to prove that he is a legitimate
candidate for professional star-
dom in the heavyweight ranks.
First, though, there is the mat-
ter of making the U.S. Olympic
Teama dreamthat eludedhim
when he lost in the 2007 trials
andmisseda chance to go to Beij-
ing.
In addition, Hunter was going
against Steve Geffard, the 2010
USA Boxing Athlete of the Year,
in a Monday afternoon winners
bracket matchup that was antici-
pated by many fans at the Mobile
Civic Center.
When I got here, people were
telling me, I cant wait for you
and Steve to fight, Hunter said.
Whatever worries Hunter had
fell by the wayside as he took a
big step in qualifying for the 2012
team by beating Geffrard 19-12.
Geffrard came out swinging in
the first two rounds, hoping to
catch Hunter off guard and wear
him down. But Hunter came on
strong and took command of the
third round.
It was the most Ive ever been
hit in my career, Hunter said.
People questioned my condi-
tioning, and I knew he (Geffard)
wouldstart off fast andmake it an
action-packed fight.
Hunters fight was one of sever-
al exciting matchups on the day.
Another big one was in the win-
ners bracket of the light welter-
weight division, where top-seed-
ed Semajay Thomas of Chicago
was beaten21-20by unseededPe-
dro Sosa of the Bronx, N.Y.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Figur-
ing out the differences between
newTennessee coach Mike Mun-
chak and the man he replaced is
pretty easy.
Just listen.
Under Munchak, the Titans
warm out before practice during
training camp to the sounds of
Lady Gagas Poker Face, Bruce
Springsteen and even Kool Moe
Dees Wild Wild West. The mu-
sic is turned off once the Titans
get down to work, and then the
speakers are cranked back up at
the end.
Titans receiver Nate Washing-
ton jokes he couldnt stretch out
the first time he heard the music
because he was so busy dancing.
Hes shaking it up in the prop-
er way, Washington said of the
new coach. Hes not whipping
us with the whip, but hes patting
us on the back, and a lot of guys
are pushing themselves harder to
work for him. I appreciate the
things hes done so far in the or-
ganization thus far of us being
here and the personality that he
has.
Munchak was hired in Febru-
ary to replace Jeff Fisher, who left
the Titans in late January after
more than16 full seasons as head
coach. With the NFL lockout,
Munchak didnt get to work with
his players until last week when
the new labor deal finally was re-
ached. So he stayed busy plan-
ning, preparing and sprucing up
the teams headquarters.
Ive been waiting six months
to start coaching, Munchak
said.
Munchak revamped the coach-
ing staff, keeping six assistants
from Fishers staff. He set up his
training camp schedules, which
he had to rework last week after
seeing the NFLs new rules that
turned the two-a-day sessions he
wanted to run into morning
walkthroughs and one full prac-
tice instead.
In the building, he had draw-
ings of former Houston Oilers re-
framed and displayed in a re-
painted lunch room to remind
current players of the relocated
franchises lengthy history. The
players lounge got new chairs,
and he even ripped out seats in
the auditorium where the team
meets.
The Titans didnt realize how
much Munchak changed until
they reported for training camp.
Thats when they found out that
all players, even veterans, would
be spending camp at a nearby ho-
tel instead of sleeping in their
own beds as Fisher had allowed.
Safety Michael Griffin hadnt
really ever talked to Munchak
until after he was promoted to
head coach in February before
the lockout. He said Munchak
wanted to take his Titans away
for training camp, which the
lockout prevented.
Right now its almost like be-
ing at a real camp somewhere dif-
ferent just all being in the hotel
and not being able to go home
..., Griffin said. Thats one of
the main differences and having
some organization around here.
We have rules and guidelines,
and I think thats part of being a
good football team is having the
control of your team.
Right guard Jake Scott, who
had Munchak as his position
coach the past three seasons,
said players will have no problem
following Munchaks logic.
Everything he does makes
sense. You can see the purpose
behind it, Scott said. Very rare-
ly is he going to have us do some-
thing where youre like, Why are
we doing this? Everything he
does is with a purpose, and its
usually pretty easy to see the pur-
pose.
When the Titans reported for
camp Friday, Munchak played a
video for the players introducing
them to their new coaches. The
video included photos of Mun-
chak fromhis Hall of Fame career
with the Oilers along with each
coach on the staff. Griffin, who
played in college at Texas, said
he noticed special teams assist-
ant Alan Lowry once quarter-
backed the Longhorns.
His resume speaks for itself as
does the rest of the coaching
staff, Griffin said. They all
played the game before. Its not
just somebody saying do this, do
that. ... I feel very confident
about this upcoming season.
For Munchak himself, hes
been coaching offensive linemen
since1994. Hes still trying to set-
tle into what the head coach does
during practices and said he
didnt know half of what went on
during practice until after the
first full session.
It was funwatching the coach-
es coach a little bit, watching
their techniques and seeing their
interaction with the players and
getting to watch the different po-
sitions and seeing how guys are
working and their work ethic,
Munchak said.
Why the soundtrack? Mun-
chak said they saw how ener-
gizedchildrengot withthe music
playing during a charity event in
June, so he decided to keep play-
ing music for both players and
fans in training camp to help
break up the quiet.

AP Sports Writer
Agent: Randy Moss
retiring from football
MANKATO, Minn. Randy
Moss is calling it a career after
13 seasons in the NFL as one of
the most dynamic and
polarizing players the league
has ever seen.
Mosss agent, Joel Segal,
said Monday that the receiver
was considering offers from
several teams, but made the
decision to retire. Segal
declined to comment
specifically on the offers,
instead saying his client felt the
time was right to step away.
Moss caught 954 passes for
14,858 yards and 153
touchdowns in a career spent
with Minnesota, Oakland, New
England and Tennessee.
The 34-year-old Moss
bounced around the league in
his final season, getting traded
from the Patriots to the Vikings
last season before he was cut
and signed with the Titans.
BETHLEHEM If the Ea-
gles want to trade him, thats
fine with Asante Samuel.
Hell be glad to take all his
touchdowns and intercep-
tions to another NFL team.
If theyre tired of my big-
play-making ability, maybe
theyll ship me out, Samuel
said. Maybe theyll keep me.
I dont know. Who knows?
Samuel reported to Lehigh
University on Monday morn-
ing after missing the first
four days of Eagles training
camp with an excused, undis-
closed personal matter.
During those four days, the
Eagles cornerback position
grew very crowded.
The Eagles acquired Pro
Bowl CB Dominique Rodg-
ers-Cromartie from the Car-
dinals in the Kevin Kolb
trade and signed another Pro
Bowler, Nnamdi Asomugha,
as a free agent.
Those moves left Samuel
wondering exactly where he
fits in.
I want to be where Im
wanted, Samuel said. If Im
wanted here, then here. If Im
not appreciated here, then
life goes on, and I move on.
Samuel has 42 intercep-
tions in eight seasons, in-
cluding an NFL-leading nine
in 2009 and an NFC-best sev-
en in just 11 games last year.
He spent his first five seasons
with the Patriots, playing in
three Super Bowls and win-
ning two.
But the additions of Rodg-
ers-Cromartie and Asomugha
have clouded Samuels future
in Philadelphia. Coach Andy
Reid and general manager
Howie Roseman have not dis-
couraged trade rumors, say-
ing only that for now, all
three cornerbacks are Eagles.
We think we have a great
situation right now, Rose-
man said last week.
Samuel was asked Monday
whether he believed the Ea-
gles wanted him.
Its probably 50-50, he
said. So well see how it
goes.
Eagles defensive coordina-
tor Juan Castillo said Mon-
day that because NFL teams
throw the football so often
these days, there was no rea-
son all three cornerbacks
couldnt coexist.
Everybodys trying to get
three and really four good
corners, the way people
throw the football, Castillo
said. We have three starters.
We need three starters.
Thats a great deal; were ex-
cited.
Samuel insists that if he re-
mains with the Eagles, he
doesnt care how hes used.
My role is my role, Sa-
muel said. Ill still do what I
do. Nothings changed for
me.
Asked if he was curious
how hed be used, he
shrugged and said no.
Why would I wonder
about that? he said. Wher-
ever they want me to play, Ill
be able to play.
At practice Monday after-
noon, Samuel was at his usu-
al left cornerback spot and
Rodgers-Cromartie was at
right cornerback.
Asomugha and other free
agents are not allowed to be-
gin practicing until Thurs-
day.
So if Samuel is still here
the Eagles practice
Thursday morning will be
the first in which Samuel,
Rodgers-Cromartie and Aso-
mugha will all participate.
Can it work?
Sure, Samuel said. Why
not?
Samuels situation
in Philly still hazy
The Eagles secondary is
suddenly very crowded,
leading to trade rumors.

said. Everything to Rusty was
a challenge and an opportunity.
He accomplished more in his
short life than most of us do in
80 years.
Flacks wife, Kathi, along with
sons Chad and Alex, were in
attendance at Mondays tourna-
ment.
Its very nice that theyre
playing this tournament at
Huntsville, Kathi Flack said.
In the past, it was played at
Glenmaura. This was his home
course. The fact the McGowan
Tournament is being dedicated
to Rusty puts things into per-
spective.
Chad Flack concurred.
Its a great tournament,
which was next to my fathers
heart. This is a perfect way to
honor him.
Alex Flack said it was a great
tribute to his dad.
Its nice that were having an
event that was so close to him.
Richard Connor, editor and
publisher of The Times Leader,
was one of Flacks closest
friends. He was honored to par-
ticipate in Mondays tourna-
ment. The two met when Con-
nor arrived in Wilkes-Barre in
the late 1970s, and then return-
ed in 2006.
Rusty went from a young
guy who had taken over a big
business, who became a big
leader in our community, Con-
nor said. He gave a lot of him-
self to the foundation. To be
able to come here and help
raise money is just tremendous,
and its symbolic of Rusty
Flack.
The mission of the Luzerne
Foundation is to provide grants
in seven vital areas to the com-
munity: social services, educa-
tion and scholarships, arts and
culture, neighborhoods and
community development, youth
issues, historic preservation and
the environment, and health
and wellness.
Mondays tournament was a
celebration of Flacks life, and
consisted mainly of friendship,
fun and golf. Barber said. But it
also made an important state-
ment.
Everything we do is for the
community, Barber said. And
were here for good.

NEWYORKNBAtalks have
started again and are apparently
going nowhere.
Adowncast Commissioner Da-
vid Stern said nothing gave
himreasonfor encouragement af-
ter a 2
1
2-hour meeting Monday
between owners and players, the
first to include leadership from
both sides since the lockout be-
gan exactly a month ago.
I dont feel optimistic about
theplayers willingness toengage
in a serious way, Stern said.
Stern added nothing had
changed since the last meeting
on June 30, hours before the old
collective bargaining agreement
expired, and said he doesnt feel
players are bargaining in good
faith.
Players argue that although
owners insist they are committed
to making a deal, their proposals
say otherwise.
Neither side offered a newpro-
posal Monday, exactly three
months before the Nov. 1 sched-
uled opening of the regular sea-
son that seems more in doubt
than ever.
Stern and Deputy Commis-
sioner Adam Silver were joined
by San Antonio owner Peter
Holt, who heads the labor rela-
tions committee, and Board of
Governors chairman and Minne-
sota owner Glen Taylor repre-
sented ownership.
Players association Executive
Director Billy Hunter, and Presi-
dent Derek Fisher and Vice Presi-
dent Theo Ratliff, both of the
Lakers, attended along with
union attorneys.
Its a tough position to be in,
Fisher said. I think Peter, Glen
Taylor, Commissioner Stern,
Adam Silver are articulating cer-
tain things in the room, express-
ingtheir desire toget a deal done,
but where their proposal lies
makes it hard to believe that.
So were continuing to try to
work around whats been said
and really focus on the deal on
the table, and right now were
still a very, very long way from
getting a deal done.
Fisher said the sides would try
tomeet at least twoor three more
times in August. Stern said there
is always reason to have meet-
ings, yet made it clear owners feel
not enough is happening during
them.
Right now we havent seen
any movement, he said, adding
theres still a very wide gap be-
tween us.

Spending more as gas falls?
The high price of gas and the weak job market have forced people to think
twice before buying anything. That led to the Commerce Departments
report that consumer spending fell in April and May. Economists expect the
June report to show some improvement, but its still likely to show that con-
sumers are very hesitant. The report will show the kinds of goods and ser-
vices that consumer spent on, such as food, clothing, travel and cars.
Toyota earnings
Expect Toyota to have a disap-
pointing report, one that reflects
the impact of the March 11
earthquake and tsunami. Car
plants in Japan were shut for
weeks after the disaster. That
also hurt production in Toyotas
U.S. plants, which use parts
from Japanese factories. Toyota
has already warned that it would
lose money in the quarter. Its
also expected to lose its title as
the worlds top-selling automaker
to General Motors this year. Source: The Commerce Department

Another weak month for car sales?
Look for a slight rise at best in car and truck sales for
July. Sales fell sharply in May and were sluggish in
June, the result of worries about the economy and
low inventory due to the earthquake in Japan in
March. Supply shortages are easing, but would-be
buyers are nervous because the job market is
weaker. The
debate in Wash-
ington over the
nations borrow-
ing limit likely
increased con-
sumers reluc-
tance to buy.

See-saw day in markets
U.S. stocks finished Mondays roller-
coaster session with a slight loss, with
investors on uncertain footing before
lawmakers vote on raising the federal
borrowing limit.
Stocks had rallied at the start, send-
ing the Dow up by as much as 139
points, after the Obama administration
and congressional leaders announced
late Sunday they had reached a com-
promise to raise the U.S. debt ceiling
and cut spending.
But doubts over Congresss ability to
pass the contentious legislation, cou-
pled with worries over a possible
downgrade to the U.S. credit rating and
a surprisingly weak U.S. manufacturing
report, sent stocks skidding as much as
145 points.
Million pickups recalled
Ford Motor Co. is recalling 1.1 mil-
lion pickup trucks because the gas
tanks can fall off and cause fires.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration said Monday on its
website that the metal straps holding
the tanks can rust, allowing them to
fall, rupture and catch fire.
The defect has been blamed for eight
fires, three of which spread to the rest
of the truck. The recall affects certain
1997 through 2004 Ford F-150 models,
as well as some 1997 through 1999
model year F-250 pickups. They were
sold in cold-weather states, including
Pennsylvania, where salt is used to
clear roads.
Fraud convictions tossed
Five former executives of American
International Group Inc. and General
Re Corp. who were convicted in a $500
million fraud case deserve a new trial,
because the judge at their 2008 trial
wrongly admitted stock-price data into
evidence and gave improper jury in-
structions, a federal appeals court
ruled Monday.
Prosecutors had accused the exec-
utives of participating in a scheme in
which AIG secretly paid Gen Re to take
out reinsurance policies with AIG in
2000 and 2001 to boost AIGs falling
stock price.
Smokeless tobacco pushed
The nations top tobacco companies
are spending less money on cigarette
advertising and promotion and more
money on promoting smokeless tobac-
co products, according to the latest
data from the Federal Trade Commis-
sion.
The data mirrors an industry trend
as tobacco companies look to cigarette
alternatives such as smokeless tobacco
products for future sales growth be-
cause tax hikes, smoking bans, health
concerns and social stigma make the
cigarette business tougher.
Humana posts big profit
Humana Inc. posted a 35 percent
surge in second-quarter profit Monday,
easily beating Wall Street views, as
more people enrolled in the health
insurers Medicare plans while existing
members made less use of its health
care services.

ITS NEARLY that
time again. My
current work lap-
top, a Dell Studio,
has been a reliable
standby for nearly
three years. Its
still speedy, its got
just about every bell and whistle I
can ask for, and I dont see myself
getting rid of it anytime soon.
But time has taken its toll. The
battery is, in a word, shot. The
case has a tiny chunk missing, the
result of being dropped. It was,
perhaps miraculously, otherwise
unharmed.
One of the keys has cracked in
half, no doubt from my ener-
getic typing technique. The plas-
tic on one of the mouse buttons is
worn.
All of these are more or less
cosmetic details.
But as far as it goes, when the
first thing that anyone says when
they walk into your office is You
need a new computer, its time
for an upgrade.
I dont usually buy a computer
at a computer store. These days
you usually get more options buy-
ing from a website, which is what
I did with my last machine. But a
few weeks ago at Best Buy, I no-
ticed a laptop that was particular-
ly striking.
It was an Asus U53JC, as I
would come to find out. The at-
traction was, at first, only skin
deep. The thing that separates
this laptop from most others on
the market is, without a doubt,
the finish. This one was clad in a
rich, dark bamboo shell with
brushed aluminum trim.
In short, it had presence.
And the specs are nothing to
scoff at 4 Gigs of RAM, 15.6
inch monitor, Nvidia GeForce
310M video card with 1 Gig of
ram a 640 GB hard drive, DVD
burner, 2 megapixel webcam, an
impressive 10.5 hours of battery
life, and Altec Lansing speakers,
all driven by an Intel Core i5
Processor with up to 3.33 GHz
speed.
Depending on the specs youre
looking at, this laptop, with the
15 inch monitor, will come in
at about $1,000, a reasonable
price, given the specs.
If style and power in combina-
tion are what youre after I rec-
ommend this laptop. It looks good
just about anywhere.

WASHINGTON Manu-
facturers had their weakest
growth in two years in July,
a sign that the economy
could weaken this summer.
The Institute for Supply
Management, a trade group
of purchasing executives,
said Monday that its index
of manufacturing activity
fell to 50.9 percent in July
from 55.3 percent in June.
The reading was the lowest
since July 2009 one
month after the recession of-
ficially ended.
Any level above 50 indi-
cates growth. The manufac-
turing sector has expanded
for 23 straight months.
New orders shrank for the
first time since the recession
ended. Companies slashed
their inventories after build-
ing them up in June. Output,
employment and prices paid
my manufacturers all grew
more slowly in July.
The disappointing report
on manufacturing is the first
major reading on how econ-
omy performed in July. It
suggests the dismal econom-
ic growth in the first half of
the year could extend into
the July-September quarter.
The ISM manufacturing
report for July is a shocker
and strongly suggests that
the disappointing perform-
ance of the economy in the
first half of the year was not
just temporary, said Paul
Dales, a senior U.S. econo-
mist for Capital Economics.
In a separate report, the
Commerce Department said
builders began work on
more projects in June, push-
ing construction spending
higher for a third straight
month.
Construction spending
rose 0.2 percent in June, to a
seasonally adjusted annual
rate of $772.3 billion, the
government said. But even
with the gains, spending re-
mains slightly above an 11-
year low hit in March and is
just half of the $1.5 trillion
pace considered healthy by
most economists.
Manufacturing growth slowest in 2 years

LONDON British banking
group HSBC said Monday it will
cut 30,000 jobs worldwide by
2013 and sell almost half its retail
bank branches in the U.S., part of
a new strategy to focus on fast-
growing emerging markets.
The bank, which reported a
better-than-expected 3 percent
increase in pretax profits to $11.5
billion in the six months to June,
has already cut 5,000 jobs this
year. Another 25,000 will be
slashed by 2013, spokesman Pa-
trick Humphris said.
HSBC currently employs
around 296,000 people world-
wide.
Humphris declined to give de-
tails of where the job cuts would
be but said the group is still hir-
ing in emerging economies.
The move echoes similar an-
nouncements by other global
banks, such as Credit Suisse,
UBS and Goldman Sachs, who in
recent weeks said they needed to
trimpayrolls to adjust to tougher
market conditions.
As part of its restructuring,
HSBC will sell 195 retail banking
branches in the United States to
First Niagara Bank for around $1
billion. Most of the branches to
be sold are in upstate New York,
while six are in Connecticut.
Four more are in northern West-
chester County, and two in Put-
nam County.
The bank is still dealing with
the legacy of bad loans in the U.S.
from the 2003 acquisition of con-
sumer lender HouseholdInterna-
tional Inc. The acquisition made
HSBCthe biggest subprime lend-
er in the United States at the
time, whichresultedinbillions of
losses to HSBC leading up to the
financial crisis of 2008.

EWYORKAirport safety in-
spectors nationwide are work-
ing without pay and shoulder-
ing travel expenses themselves as the
Federal Aviation Administrations
budget crisis enters a second week,
transportation officials said Monday.
The 40 inspectors are in charge of
regular checks covering runways, nav-
igation aids and other systems at doz-
ens of airports and airlines. A typical
inspector may travel to five airports in
a two-week period and rack up thou-
sands of dollars in hotel and airline
tickets, FAA administrator Randy
Babbitt said Monday.
Were asking for them to put the
balance on their credit cards, Babbitt
said Monday. Its not right to ask
them to do that, its just not.
The inspectors are among 4,000
FAA employees furloughed on July 22
after Congress refused to authorize
FAA spending in a dispute over union
provisions and subsidies to support
airline service at smaller airports. The
freeze has forced work to stop on
about $2.5 billion in construction pro-
jects forced the layoffs of thousands of
construction workers, the FAA says.
Among the stalled projects is a new
air traffic control tower at Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton International Airport
in Pittston Township.
OnMondayBabbitt andTransporta-
tion Secretary Ray LaHood visited
New Yorks La Guardia airport, where
work has stopped on a $6 million pro-
ject to demolish an old control tower
that tower blocks the viewfroma new
control tower built a fewhundred feet
away.
LaHood said there was little pro-
gress on resolving the standoff over
the weekend, but he hoped Congress
would turn its attention to the FAA
budget after reaching a tentative deal
on Sunday to raise the nations debt
ceiling.
In addition to the furloughs and
halted projects, the shutdown means
the FAAcannot collect the $30 million
adaynormallyimposedonairlinetick-
ets through federal taxes.
But there has been no benefit to air-
line passengers because airlines have
raised their fares by the same amount.

Stan Choe, Elizabeth Gramling AP
Washingtons proposed debt deal would fix one short-term problem: a possible default
by the government. But it wouldnt eliminate long-term challenges for investors.
What to expect if the deal becomes law, and some investment moves to consider:
The debt problems
in the U.S. show
the value of
including foreign
stocks and bonds
in your portfolio.
Brazil and other
emerging markets
dont have big
debt loads like the
U.S., European
countries or
Japan. And
currencies of
emerging markets
countries are
rising against the
dollar, which
makes their bonds
worth more when
converted to
dollars.
Look
abroad
Now what?
Even if Congress averts a
default, credit-rating agen-
cies may lower the
countrys top AAA rating.
Its not known when that
might happen. A down-
grade would force the
government to pay higher
interest on Treasurys.
Since yields move opposite
from price, expect govern-
ment bond prices to fall
especially long-term Trea-
surys, because theyre
considered the riskiest. You
might want to sell long-
term bonds soon. But you
also might want to be a
buyer when the yield on
the 30-year bond goes up
to 5 percent.
Prepare for
a possible
downgrade
1
The debate over the governments
debt has taken place while a series
of reports has shown the economy
is weakening. The proposal to cut
more than $2 trillion in spending
over a decade could further hurt the
economy. Federal spending
accounts for 8 percent of the gross
domestic product.
A ratings downgrade would also
hurt the economy because mort-
gage and other loan rates are based
on Treasury yields and would rise.
Stocks have fallen in response to
the economic reports. Theyre not
likely to start rising steadily until
there are signs that the economy is
getting stronger again. Your best bet
might be to buy stocks like
consumer products and health care
companies. They tend to weather
bad economic times.
Prepare for
weaker growth

The British bank will cut 30,000 jobs
and sell retail bank branches in the
U.S. It wants to focus on fast-grow-
ing emerging markets.
A private equity firm declared a 9.9
percent stake in the womens cloth-
ing retailer, saying its stock is an
attractive investment.
The government is cutting Medicare
reimbursement payments for nurs-
ing facilities by 11.1 percent starting
in fiscal 2012.
News that manufacturing grew last month at its
slowest pace since July 2009 overshadowed a
proposed deal that would let the U.S. government
avoid a default on its debt. The Dow Jones indus-
trial average fell 10.75, or 0.1 percent, to close at
12,132.49. It was up as many as 139 points early
Monday, before the report on manufacturing was
released. The S&P 500 fell 5.34, or 0.4 percent, to
1,286.94. The Nasdaq fell 11.77, or 0.4 percent, to
2,744.61.

So far this sum-
mer the longest
spell without
rain here in
Luzerne County
is eight days and
the total collect-
ed since June 1
is 12.16 ! That
amount is 6.54
more than what
fell last summer
to todays date.
Still, the farmers
and the garden-
ers would be
happy with more
rain this week
and theres a
guarantee for
more tomorrow.
As a wave of low
pressure
approaches, rain
could arrive
before daybreak
tomorrow and
under thick, nim-
bus clouds, tem-
peratures will
remain only in
the 70s for a
change. Over the
past 31 days,
weve only had
one day with a
high below 80.

NATIONAL FORECAST: A low pressure system centered over Wisconsin will bring a chance of poten-
tially severe thunderstorms to the upper Midwest and Great Lakes. Scattered showers and thunder-
storms will also be possible over the far Northeast. The Gulf Coast and Floridas Atlantic coast will
experience scattered thunderstorms under partly cloudy skies.

W
hen my kids are at
the playground, Im
usually the only parent
making a spectacle of her-
self. I do push-ups and
lunges. I hang from the
monkey bars and try to
pull myself up. Or I repeat-
edlysquat down, lower my
butt until it hits the bench
and then stand up.
Yes, playground workouts can
be embarrassing, especially when
other moms and dads are relaxing
or chatting on cellphones. But if
youre strapped for time, play-
grounds are ideal workout spots,
and not just because theyre free.
Youre stuck there anyway, theyve
got all the equipment you need,
and research shows even tiny
bouts of exercise are associated
with increased fitness.
And while a public workout
takes some courage, your actions
might inspire a lifetime of health
and fitness in your children or oth-
ers, said celebrity fitness trainer
Marco Borges.
For some people, playground
equipment may even be better
than regular-size workout struc-
tures, said Borges. Monkey bars,
for example, are built for kids so
theyre shorter than regular pull-
upbars. That means youcanstart
from a standing position and use
your legs for added help, said
Borges, who runs a playground fit-
ness boot camp.

All right, food indulgers: Weve
been busted. Harvard University
researchers have published a
20-year study that followed
120,000 men and women,
detailing the good and bad
foods that contribute to obes-
ity. Pick up the New England
Journal of Medicine if you want to,
uh, digest the whole study. Or
nibble away on our quiz.
1. What was the average weight
variation of the subjects over a
four-year period?
a) gained 3.35 pounds
b) gained 12.58 pounds
c) lost .78 pounds
2. Were shocked shocked that
researchers found the four-year
weight change was most strongly
associated with the intake of
potato chips. How much average
weight did the treat add to wais-
tlines?
a) 7.1 1 pounds

4. Which of the following foods
was considered the best for reduc-
ing weight over the period stud-
ied?
a) vegetables
b) yogurt
c) whole grains
5. Why do researchers believe
yogurt is so effective in weight
reduction?
a) Because the antioxidants and
calcium increase the metabolic
rate.
b) Because changes in colonic
bacteria might influence weight
gain.

N U T R I T I O N Q U I Z Obesity study
Q: Would you please
explain weight loss
resistance? I amexer-
cising daily and re-
stricting calories to
1,200 calories/day or
less. Despite my ef-
forts, I amlosing only
one-half to one pound a week.
S.N., Cumming, Ga.
A: Before we tackle the issue of
weight loss resistance, let me first say
that losing one-half to one pound a week
is pretty good. That translates to a week-
ly caloric reduction of between1,750 and
3,500 calories a week. At that pace, youll
lose between 26 and 52 pounds in a year.
I think its best to think of the approach to
weight loss like running a marathon,
rather than running a sprint.
The next thing Ill address is the 1,200
calorie diet. Most folks who are frustrat-
ed that their 1,200 calorie diet is failing
themare consuming more than1,200
calories. Most folks have a poor ability to
estimate the calorie content of foods.
Another factor that contributes to
weight loss resistance is your medication
list. Examples of medications that may
contribute to weight gain include anti-
depressants; beta blocker blood pressure
drugs; steroids; diabetic medication;
anti-seizure drugs; and hormonal-replace-
ment therapy. Aslowthyroid or elevated
insulin level also contributes to weight
gain and resistance to weight loss. So too
does a chronically high stress state.

you when calorie counting is: http://
nutritiondata.self.com.
Q: I received an email that describes
coughing as a way of saving your life in
the event of a heart attack. Does that
actually work?
G.H., Lake Worth, Fla.
A: No, with very rare exceptions. What
you read is an email thats been circulat-
ing on the Internet since1999. Not only
will it not work in most instances, but it
could make things much worse. The idea
is that if a person was in cardiac arrest
with a life-threatening heart arrhythmia,
the act of forceful and repeated coughing
could, in theory, increase pressure inside
the chest cavity and assist the hearts
pumping of blood and briefly keep a
person fromlosing consciousness.
The American Heart Association does
not endorse this technique. It only works
in the setting of a life threatening heart
arrhythmia. Since most experiencing
chest pain do not knowif theyre about to
pass out, the act of coughing will in-
crease the heart rate and stress an al-
ready injured heart. Chewing and swal-
lowing one adult 325-mg aspirin at the
moment of a suspected heart attack is a
far more effective strategy. See Sno-
pes.comfor a description of the cough

IN BRIEF
Two years ago, Hayley Cunningham lost
her cousintoadeadlygameshednever heard
of.
Her cousin was found dead in his bedroom
after accidentally choking himself, the result
of an increasingly fatal practice gaining pop-
ularity among middle-school students
known as the choking game.
It involves near-strangulationthat provides
a brief floaty feeling and fainting. After griev-
ing her cousins death, Cunningham decided
she wantedtoeducate others andmaybe save
a life.
It would just be wrong to have this kind of
information that others dont know, said
Cunningham, 18.
While conducting research for presenta-
tions she hopedto give at her school, she met
Dr. Hatim Omar, chief of the division of ado-
lescent medicine at the University of Ken-
tucky. In the last two years, three Kentucky
deaths have been linked to the game, and
Omar has treated eight teens for injuries con-
nected with near-strangulation.
Perhaps more startling, Omar said, is
when I ask teens if they know someone do-
ing it, over 50 percent say yes. The average
age is13, but the age range is usually between
9 and 16, he said.
That wasnt the case a few years ago. Ac-
cording to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, which issued its first warn-
ing about the practice in 2008, statistics are
hardtocollect becausemost of deaths related
to choking involve the use of a ligature such
as a belt, and they are routinely classified as
suicide.

HAVINGA
NICE garden
can be very
soothing.
Flowers
mixed in with
lush greenery,
and maybe a lawn, combine to
create a serene environment
that invites relaxation and
reflection. Of course, we may
not be the only creatures that
appreciate such a nice envi-
ronment.
It seems that a garden pro-
vides very attractive feeding
grounds for many types of
animals, and one of the more
common types and I might
add ravenous, as well is the
snail. These little mollusks can
munch through a plant, reduc-
ing it to mere twigs in no time.
Peggy knows firsthand about
this problem.
For a while now, Peggy has
been watching parts of her
garden disappear as snails eat
away. She is to the point where
she wants to fight back. Peggy
realizes there are snail baits
that can be used in the yard to
kill the little beasts, but she
worries about hurting Gizmo,
her 1-
1
2-year-old King Charles
spaniel. Gizmo loves spending
time in Peggys garden.
Snail bait can be highly toxic
to dogs. The most common
brands contain metaldehyde,
which, when ingested, initially
causes nausea, vomiting and
abdominal pain. This can lead
to severe retching and vomit-
ing. These gastrointestinal
signs are followed or occur
concurrently with muscle rigid-
ity and convulsions, leading to
coma and, in some cases, death.
Obviously, this is a com-
pound we do not want our dogs
to eat! So then, what do we do
about the snails?
There is another type of snail
bait on the market that is far
less potentially toxic to dogs.
The active ingredient is iron
phosphate. It works by des-
iccating the snails and is rela-
tively safe for dogs, unless they
eat a large amount. That
amount would be far more than
one would need to put out in
the yard.
Unfortunately, when com-
pared with metaldehyde-based
snail baits, the iron phosphate
products do not seemto work
quite as well.
Personally, I do not use tox-
ins for snail control in my yard.
I have chosen a more natural
route. I use turtles. These fab-
ulous little guys have so deci-
mated the snail population in
my yard that I seldomsee any
snails anymore.
Of course, snail control via
turtle predation is not some-
thing everyone can do. You
must have a yard that is escape-
proof for the turtle, and de-
pending on the species of tur-
tle, they may not be able to
handle our weather pattern
year-round.
There are other predators.
Ducks make fabulous snail-
eating machines, but they carry
with themsome requirements
of their own. They also produce
a large amount of messy feces.
Unfortunately, there really is no
best case scenario when it
comes to eliminating snails in
every yard.
When you are lucky enough
to care for a dog, you should
avoid metaldehyde-based snail
baits.
I have heard of dogs that love
to eat snails. Maybe Peggy can
entice Gizmo into expanding
his cuisine. Snails are actually
quite nutritious.

AreYou Suffering With Pain,Tingling, or
Numbness inYour Feet or Ankles?
Do what Patricia Patsches didShe Called The Neuropathy Center!
For over 6 years I suffered with painful,
numb feet...then I found the Neuropathy Center!
For over 6 years I suffered with tingling, numb feet to the point that I
had no feeling in them and it hurt to even walk.
My daily life was affected. I couldnt work, drive or keep up on my
day-to-day activities. The pain impacted quality time with my family and
granddaughter.
After just the second treatment I started getting feeling back in my feet
which continued with every visit!
Since I have had the treatments I am back to work, taking less pain
medications and am able to live a more pain free life.
I denitely recommend the Neuropathy Center and
already have! The caring staff treat you like family and they have got me
back to the life I was missing!
Thank you Neuropathy Center!

grounds offer at least three key
pieces of equipment that can en-
hance the experience: monkey
bars, benches or steps and
swings. Heres how to make use
of each one:
Monkey bars
Try chin-ups: Hang with your
hands slightly wider than shoul-
der width apart with your palms
facing toward your body. Pull
your body up until your head is
above the bar, then slowly lower
to the starting position, said ex-
ercise physiologist Tom Hol-
land, author of Beat the Gym.
What it works: An upper-body
resistance workout, chin-ups tar-
get several major muscle groups
in the back, shoulders and arms.
They also work core muscles.
Kick it up a notch: Try a pull-
up by changing your hand posi-
tion and grabbing the bar with
your palms facing away from
you. Adda weightedbackpackor
attach a small child to your back.
Make it easier: Rest your feet
on the ground if the bar is low
enough. Or simply hold your
chin over the bar as long as you
can, a strength test called the
flexed armhang. Simply hang-
ing from a bar stretches and re-
laxes the back. Or hang fromthe
bar and tuck your knees up to
your chest.
Bench, steps or low platform
Try the bench step-up: Place
your right foot on a bench about
knee height. Step up and tap
your left foot on the bench while
fully extending your right leg.
Slowly step back down with the
left leg, then immediately re-
peat, said Holland.
What it works: The legs
hamstrings and glutes and
core muscles.
Kick it up a notch: Find a high-
er step. Or, place your hands be-
hind your head and jump with
both feet on to the bench or plat-
form. Hopbackoff the step, land-
ing on both feet.
Make it easier: Find a lower
step.
Swing set
Try the ab walk-out: Hold the
swing with your hands and keep
your feet on one spot, said Borg-
es. Using your abs, stretch your
body into an elongated position.
Return to the start position.
What it works: Abdominal
muscles
Kick it up a notch: Balance on
one leg.
Makeit easier: Workthis move
on your knees. Or, if you fit,
swing yourself. Swinging works
the legs, quads, core and im-
proves balance, range of motion
and coordination.
Dial up the effort
Body-weight exercises
push-ups, pull-ups and sit-ups
are some of the best moves to try
at a playground because they re-
quire no equipment, and once
youve mastered the basics, you
can easily adjust the difficulty.
In fact, the only limiting fac-
tor is your creativity, said mili-
tary fitness expert Mark Lauren,
author of You Are Your Own
Gym, which includes 125 differ-
ent body-weight exercises.
Every weightlifting motion
can be mimicked, made harder
or easier, with your own body
weight. Lauren suggests using
four techniques to change the
difficulty:
Increase or decrease the
amount of leverage
Perform an exercise on an
unstable platform
Use pauses at the beginning,
end and/or middle of a move-
ment
Turn an exercise into a sin-
gle-limb movement (use one
hand instead of two)
Five to try
Bring a jump rope: Skipping
rope is a big-time calorie burner
comparabletorunningand
its aneffective way to buildbone
density, said Tim Haft, the foun-
der of Punk Rope, a jump rope-
themed workout class. It en-
hances coordination, improves
timing, rhythm and balance and
you dont need to move fromone
spot so you can monitor your
kids.
Find a line or object: Hop
back and forth over it with two
feet. To make it harder: Hop on
one foot.
Play followthe leader: If you
can fit, simply follow your child
through the play structures.
This can open up a lot of possi-
bilities for agility, core strength,
climbing and running, said
John Colver, the author of the
book Fit by Nature a 12-week
outdoor fitness program.
Be sly: If you dont want to
drawtoomuchattentiontoyour-
self, try standing on one leg as
long as possible. To make it har-
der, stand on one leg with your
eyes closed. Or try the Invisible
Chair (wall squat) by standing
with your back against a tree,
wall or piece of equipment.
Move your feet away from the
wall but keep your hips and back
on the wall. Bending at the
knees, lower your body until
your thighs are parallel to the
ground. Your knees should be di-
rectly above your feet and be
bent at 90 degrees, said Lauren,
the author of YouAre Your Own
Gym.
Live inyour gym: If youstart
believing there is no gym sepa-
rate from the rest of your life,
the opportunities are endless,
Colver said in Fit by Nature.
The picnic table in the park
across the street could be the
best piece of exercise equipment
youll ever use.
WORK OUT

Your actions might
inspire a lifetime of
health and fitness in
your children or others.
Marco Borges
Celebrity fitness trainer
GASP, anon-profit groupdedicat-
ed to education about the chok-
ing game, notes on its website
that there could be as many as
1,000 deaths a year in the United
States.
Unlike auto-erotic asphyxia-
tion, which involves both near-
strangulation and masturbation,
most young people view the
choking game as a harmless di-
version, said Marlene Huff, an as-
sociate professor of pediatrics at
the University of Kentucky.
This is not about sex at all,
Huff said.
Instead, adolescents try to
achieve a tingly or floaty feeling
that comes from the oxygen sup-
plybeingcut off tothe brainanda
euphoria created when the blood
comes rushing back after near-
strangulation, she said. That eu-
phoria is caused by a chemical re-
leased by dying brain cells, and
the surge in blood can cause
stroke or seizures.
A single act can cause hemor-
rhaging in the brain that can per-
manently affect brain function,
he said. Death can occur in as lit-
tle as four minutes.
Some kids who are natural risk
takers try the game, Huff said,
but often, well-behaved students
who make good grades view the
practice as a harmless alternative
to other taboo behaviors, such as
using alcohol or drugs.
The game often begins as a
group activity at slumber parties
or unsupervised get-togethers,
Huff said, but it is most danger-
ous when done alone, because
there is no one to help if someone
passes out.
If a parent suspects that a child
has experienced the game, he or
she should take the child to see a
specialist in adolescent medicine
or a pediatrician well versed in
the practice, allowing the child
and the health professional to
talk alone first, joining themlater
to ask questions, Huff said.
CHOKING
Continued from Page 1C
Its estimated as many as 250 to
1,000 young people die in the
United States each year playing
some variant of the Choking
Game, but its difficult to track
statistics because many of the
cases are reported as suicides.
Child has a rope, tie, belt or
other such object in his/her bed-
room for no clear reason
Changes in personality such as
becoming overly aggressive
Trouble concentrating, or a
flushed face
Bloodshot eyes
Headaches
Marks on the childs neck, wear-
ing clothing that covers the neck
Child asks questions about
strangulation
A thud in a childs room mean-
ing a fall in cases of solitary prac-
tice

.com, the website of Adolescents
Shouldnt Play (GASP), a non-
profit dedicated to education
about the choking game.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I am
writing to respond
to Old Mama in
Washington State
(June 1), whose
pregnancy at 40 is
unwelcome to her
husband and two
teens. My parents had a bonus baby
when they were in their early 40s.
I was 17 and my brother was 13
when we found out. It was hard for
us to accept at first. I was grossed
out by the idea of my parents having
sex, and I was afraid people would
think the baby was mine after she
was born.
All our worries disappeared when
we first laid eyes on our baby sister.
I love her to death, and she is lucky
to have my brother as her protector.
It was a good thing that we were
nearly 18 years apart, because I
got the benefits of a sister without
having to share a room! Now, at
12, shes a fabulous friend to my
8-year-old and will soon be big
enough to baby-sit the 4-year-old and
the baby.
Im sure Mamas family will
become more accepting over time.
When they see that baby, theyll know
their family is finally complete.
Proud Big Sister in Chicago
Dear Big Sister: Thank you for
writing. I received a mountain of
mail in response to that letter. Read-
ers were enthusiastic in expressing
their firsthand experiences being
families with unexpected pregnan-
cies. Read on:
Dear Abby: I was pregnant with
twins at 45 and my then-l8-year-
old daughter was furious with me,
going as far as banning me from her
high school graduation. It hurt, and
I agonized over the decision, but in
the end I waddled in anyway. Im so
glad I did.
Fast-forward: The twins are almost
3 now, and they worship their older
sister and brother, and the feeling
is mutual. As soon as Mamas
husband sees the baby, Im sure hell
be over the moon as well. Yes, the
future looks exhausting, but its well
worth it. This time around youll
have so much more patience and
wisdom and youll pick your bat-
tles more wisely.
Been There, Done That
Dear Abby: I have to agree with
Mamas family. Pregnant at 40 is
not a miracle, and shes deluded to
think so. I was born when my mother
was 42. Im 16 years younger than
my oldest sibling, and all my cousins
are older.
It is hard growing up with no
siblings to play with and no cousins
to really talk to because theyre all
in high school and dont want a kid
tagging along. I felt unwanted most
of my childhood.
It gets better for a while, but then
you watch your parents age and
die. I didnt have the kind of relation-
ship with my grandparents that my
siblings did. And because I was born
so many years behind everyone, I
missed out on most of the fun family
times.
Please tell Mama not to take
it personally, to be sure her new
addition is paid attention to and
assured that he/she is much loved
and wanted.
Unexpected Surprise in Texas
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Readers agree that unexpected pregnancies can bring unexpected joy
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-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.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Those
who are observant will notice
straight away: You are different
from who you were before. You
would rather show your new-
found confidence with action
than talk about it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
know yourself well. You require
a degree of challenge in order
to stay engaged and involved.
Another person might get
stressed out by the stimulus you
find comforting.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have
nothing to prove. People react to
you the way they do because of
their deeply rooted attitudes and
opinions that have very little, if
anything, to do with you.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Youll
try new places, things and ideas.
This keeps life fresh and excit-
ing. You may spend more money
than expected, but you wont
regret the expense.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Opposites
dont really attract as often as
people say they do. However,
reacting in an equal and oppo-
site way to the one you love will
build the relationship now. When
the other person pushes, you
pull back.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
value your friendships and
expect them to take up an
appropriate amount of space in
your life. You have no need for
overpowering relationships that
upset the flow of normal life.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Maybe
you dont know what to expect,
but that hasnt stopped you
before. Go forward. You are a
beloved child of the universe and
will be cared for as such.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The
way you learn grace is to, from
time to time, fall from it. Much
depends on your ability to recov-
er from the tips and tumbles
that are a normal part of life.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You wont give in. But the person
youre negotiating with doesnt
realize this just yet, so he or she
will continue to try to sway you
with logic, emotional appeals
and other temptations.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You will maintain the policy that
your emotions are no one elses
concern. You are so impressively
self-contained now that you will
earn the trust of people you
dont even know.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You will give in on the small
points and validate your loved
one with your agreement, even
when youre not so sure he
is right.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Though
a certain person sees you as
attractive in every way, your
standards for yourself are a bit
more stringent. Youve set the
bar high, and now youll work
hard to keep it there.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (August 2).
No matter what you do for a
living, this year you will be in
the business of making people
happy. Your intuition is honed,
and youll realize just what it
takes to make people smile. This
month, youll spend time with
those you admire and make
some memories. In September,
youll sign an important contract.
Sagittarius and Virgo people
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 4, 2, 19, 31 and 11.
