ports extending the Social Secu-
rity payroll tax cut into 2012, but
criticized President Obamas vis-
it to Scranton today as playing
politics with the issue.
Obama is to make a pitch for
the payroll tax cut extension dur-
ing his speech this afternoon at
Scranton High School.
Barletta, a
Republican
from Hazleton,
said keeping
the payroll tax
low for another
year is a good
idea because I
believe that
money is better staying in the
pockets of American citizens
than it is in the coffers of the fed-
eral government.
But Barletta said Obama
wouldbe better servedbystaying
in Washington and working with
Senate Democrats to pass some
of the 20-plus job-creating bills
that we in the House passed, and
that are nowsittinginthe Senate.
The people of Scranton would
rather have a job than a visit, es-
pecially a visit at taxpayers ex-
pense, Barletta said.

Wilkes-Barre, Scranton and
Hazletonareamong19communi-
ties throughout the state that
would be authorized to install
red-light cameras under legisla-
tion recently passed by the state
Senate.
The use of the cameras, which
snag errant drivers by capturing
animage of their license plates as
they drive through a red signal,
has been highly controversial.
Proponents cite various stud-
ies that have shown the cameras
reducered-light violations andre-
sulting side-impact crashes.
Opponents cite other studies
that show the cameras increase
rear-end collisions.
Theres also concern that driv-
ers who receive a citation in the
mail are robbed of their due proc-
ess rights since they cant con-
front a camera in court, and com-
munities are employing the de-
vices moreas ameans toraiserev-
enue than to promote traffic
safety.
Two area legislators are split in
their opinion of the bill and the
Wilkes-Barre city administration
is waiting for more information
beforedecidingwhether toinstall
cameras if the bill is approved.
The bill, sponsored by state
Sen. Dominic Pileggi, R-Dela-
ware, was approved in the Senate
by a 35-14 vote in October and is
now before a committee in the
state House of Representatives.
Bill particulars
The bill permits third-class ci-
ties with populations of at least
18,000toinstall thecameras at se-

These traffic signals in Wilkes-Barre could be equipped with cam-

November 29, 2011
It took more than a 15-minute
phone call, but the agency that
runs public buses in Luzerne
County saved a bundle by switch-
ing insurance companies.
The Luzerne County Transpor-
tation Authority board on Tues-
day voted to switch from Blue
Cross of Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia to Geisinger Health Plan, a
move authority Executive Direc-
tor Stanley Strelish said would
save nearly a quarter-million dol-
lars over the next 12 months.
Strelish said Blue Cross would
have raised the premium for the
authoritys First
Priority health
plan by 26 per-
cent upon a
Dec. 1 renewal,
and Blue Cross
wouldnt budge
on the premium
hike.
Strelish said
he contacted
Geisinger, and
company repre-
sentatives
made presenta-
tions on their
offerings. He
said the unions
agreed to the
change because
it was equal to
or better than
the Blue Cross
plan, a stipula-
tion in the
union contract.
Staying with
Blue Cross
would have cost the authority
about $101,730 per month to cov-
er all 65 employees; coverage un-
der Geisinger will cost about
$81,257 per month, a savings of
about $245,680 over 12 months.
The board also voted to retain
Fidelity Bank for all of the author-
itys accounts. Three banks re-
sponded to requests for propos-
als, and Fidelitys 0.5-percent in-
terest rate for checking accounts
was the best.
In other business, Strelish told
the board that this Octobers ri-
dershipwas higher thanlast Octo-
bers by about 2,000 passengers
and that paid riders have been
steadily increasing over the past
five months a phenomenon he
expects to continue because of
high gasoline prices.
Operations Supervisor Robb
Henderson said Luzerne/Wyom-
ing Counties Area Agency on Ag-
ingwill distribute applications for
free bus riding privileges to all ar-
ea senior citizen centers and will
return completed applications to
the authority to make the process
easier on seniors.
Valerie Kepner, of the Public
TransportationAdvisory Council,
asked that a bulletin board be
placed in the James F. Conahan
Intermodal Transportation Cen-
ter as an additional means of
alerting bus riders to schedule
changes and other transit news.
Strelish said it was a great idea
and that he would ask for Wilkes-
Barre Mayor Tom Leightons OK,
as the city owns the center.
Kepner also told the board
that because of a recent bus
schedule change, a Luzerne
County Community College
student nowhas a two-hour lay-
over. She said the council
would be happy to try to alert
riders to future planned chang-
es and gather feedback.

HARRISBURG A newly
hired lawyer for a high school stu-
dent described by prosecutors as
a sexual abuse victim of former
Penn State assistant football
coach Jerry Sandusky said Tues-
day that he has been distressed to
hear Sanduskys attorney dispute
the charges.
Slade McLaughlin said his cli-
ent stands by the allegations and
sees the strategy by defense at-
torney Joe Amendola as putting
victims on trial instead of Sand-
usky.
The grand jury report, issued
Nov. 5 when Sandusky was
charged with 40 criminal counts,
accused Sandusky of fondling and
repeated instances of abuse after
they met about five years ago
through The Second Mile, a char-
ity for disadvantaged youths
Sandusky founded.
I can only say it was emotion-
ally devastating, said McLaugh-
lin, who also represents the boys
mother.
It was someone he trusted. It
was someone he believed had his
best interests at heart. Whats
even more distressing to him and
his family is Sanduskys lawyer is
out there saying Victim No. 1 is a
liar; hes made all this up.
Amendola, who did not im-
mediately return a phone mess-
age seeking comment Tuesday,
said last week that Sandusky
has maintained his innocence
and that he has information
leading him to conclude he may
be innocent.
Were ready to refute all
eight charges in the original
presentment, Amendola has
said. We have evidence to re-
fute all of those.
Sandusky is accused of sex-
ually abusing eight boys over a
period of 15 years and faces
charges that include involun-
tary deviate sexual intercourse,
aggravated indecent assault and
indecent assault.
The case has also led to the
departure under pressure of
Penn State President Graham
Spanier, and the firing of long-
time head football coach Joe
Paterno.
McLaughlin said Amendolas
tactics reminded him of a de-
fense lawyer in a rape case say-
ing the woman wanted it.
The proof is going to come
out strong and hard, and these
people are going to eat their
words, McLaughlin said.
He said that Amendolas com-
ments were not appropriate and
that they may be an effort to
influence potential jurors in fa-
vor of Sandusky.
I frankly think a lot of his
comments have been incendi-
ary, McLaughlin said. I think
they have been harmful and
hurtful to a lot of the victims.
The boy recently changed
schools; at his previous high
school he was bullied, received
threats and did not receive suf-
ficient support, McLaughlin
said.
The boy and his mother have
been overwhelmed with calls
from reporters and hired him
and another attorney, in part, to
help them cope with the media
pressure.
He declined to go into detail
about the familys home life.
The school was closed Tues-
day and administrators did not
immediately return a phone
message seeking comment.
The grand jury report said
Sandusky hosted the boy over-
night at his home in State Col-
lege, took him to restaurants,
church and a pool, and gave
him gifts that included golf
clubs, a computer and cash.
Jurors said physical contact
began as back-cracking and
progressed to back rubs and
kisses before Sandusky molest-
ed him more than 20 times dur-
ing 2007 and 2008.
Sandusky was a volunteer
coach at the boys high school,
jurors wrote, but he was banned
from the district in 2009 after
the boys mother reported sex-
ual assault allegations.
School officials contacted au-
thorities, and the state Attorney
Generals Office got the case on
referral from the Centre County
district attorney at the time,
who cited an apparent conflict
of interest.
Sanduskys preliminary hear-
ing is scheduled for Dec. 13 at
the Centre County Courthouse
in Bellefonte.
McLaughlin said he has been
in talks with prosecutors about
whether his client will testify.
McLaughlin said a lawsuit on
behalf of his client is a foregone
conclusion but will not begin
until criminal proceedings are
complete.
He said potential targets in-
clude Sandusky, Penn State,
The Second Mile and some
people who should have report-
ed this early on and didnt.
In State College, student
leaders, Penn State President
Rodney Erickson and other ad-
ministrators plan to appear at
an event for students regarding
the child sex-abuse scandal to-
day in Heritage Hall.
The university also is con-
ducting smaller forums, run by
its counseling and psycholog-
ical services center, on Thurs-
day, and next week.
PSU accusers lawyer rips defense
Lawyer for alleged abuse victim
says tactic puts alleged victims,
rather than Sandusky, on trial.

Associated Press
Court hearings have been delayed
for two Penn State administrators
charged with lying to a grand jury
investigating child sex abuse
allegations against former assist-
ant football coach Jerry Sand-
usky.
Athletic director Tim Curley is on
administrative leave, while Gary
Schultz has retired as a vice presi-
dent. They also each face a count
of failing to report an allegation
involving Sandusky in 2002 to
authorities.
The Dauphin County Court Admin-
istrators office said Tuesday the
preliminary hearings have been
pushed back 10 days to Dec. 16 in
Harrisburg. No reason was given
for the delay.

Powell free until Dec. 27
A federal judge has granted attorney
Robert Powells request to postpone his
report date to prison
so he can be with his
wife while she under-
goes surgery to re-
move a cancerous
tumor.
Powell was sched-
uled to begin serving
his 18-month prison
sentence on a corrup-
tion charge Wednesday. U.S. District
Judge Edwin Kosik extended that date
until Dec. 27.
Powells attorney, Joseph DAndrea,
requested the postponement, saying
Powells wife, Deborah, has been diag-
nosed with cancer and is scheduled to
undergo surgery on Dec. 7.
Powell, formerly of Drums, relocated
his family to Florida and has no family
or friends in their area who can assist
him in caring for his wife and two
minor children, DAndrea said.
Powell pleaded guilty in July 2009 to
charges of failing to report a crime
relating to his payment of $772,500 in
kickbacks to former Luzerne County
judges Michael Conahan and Mark
Ciavarella.

Storm drain grates stolen
Storm drain grates have been stolen
from at least eight catch basins in the
city, increasing the chances of people
sustaining injury or damage to vehi-
cles.
Drew McLaughlin, city spokesman,
said in a news release that eight grates
have been replaced due to thefts since
the weekend. Five grates were stolen in
the Pine Ridge area and three grates in
South Wilkes-Barre. Storm grates are
26 inches by 48 inches and are made of
cast metal or steel. Removing grates
opens catch basins that are about 6 feet
deep.
Anyone with information about the
thefts is asked to call
Wilkes-Barre police at
826-8114.

LA PLUME Jim Brozena,
executive director of the Lu-
zerne County Flood Protection
Authority, told a congressional
subcommittee Tuesday that
federal officials need to have a
better under-
standing of
the challeng-
es facinglocal
governments
when respon-
ding to natu-
ral disasters.
Brozena
was one of six
witnesses to
testify before
the U.S.
House of Rep-
resentatives
Committee
on Homeland
Securitys
Subcommit-
tee on Emer-
gency Prepa-
redness, Re-
sponse and
Communica-
tions. The
hearing, held
at Keystone
College, was attended by U.S.
Rep. Tom Marino, R-Lycoming
Township, a vice chairman of
the subcommittee, and Chair-
manGusM. Bilirakisof Florida.
A more efficient means of
dealingwithsubstantially dam-
aged or destroyed structures
must be identified, Brozena
said.
He also told the committee
that the Federal Emergency
Management Agency needs to
publish a Flooding 101
manual to help municipalities
follownecessary actions after a
disaster.
Whether there is a presiden-
tial disaster declaration or not,
FEMA should immediately
contact municipalities by
phone or email and remind
themof their responsibilities to
enforce requirements of the
flood insurance program, Bro-
zena said. Visits to municipal-
ities must occur ina more time-
ly fashion.
He saidfloodevents paralyze
small communities and FEMA
assistance is most critical in
responding to residents con-
cerns. He said most FEMA vis-
its did not occur until nearly 30
days after the event. Brozena
suggestedmoretrainingforvol-
unteers utilized during the cri-
sis.
Property owners flooded in
Septemberwill notevenknowif
their property is possibly in-
cluded for acquisition until the
end of January, Brozena said,
addingthat the wait couldbe as
long as 1-1/2 to 3 years for a de-
termination.
The hearing was held in a re-
sponse to the damages caused
this summer by Hurricane
Irene andTropical StormLee.
This is not a fingerpointing
or blaming process, Marino
said at the outset. We want to
assess the way the disaster was
handledandfixanyandall prob-
lems that havebeenidentified.
Brozena said Luzerne Coun-
ty has 76 municipalities and
many of them have one person
handling all administrative du-
ties.
Typically salaries are low
and turnover is high, he said.
Most donot havethetechnical
expertise or training.
Other issues discussed in-
cluded ensuring that river-
depth measurement gauges are
working, dredging of streams
and the availability of tempora-
ry housing.

WILKES-BARRE The city may need
to borrowupto $2.7 millionto pay clea-
nupandlabor costs stemming from
flooding in2006 and2011, as it waits for
federal andstate reimbursement.
At a special sessionTuesday morning,
City Council members Kathy Kane,
Mike Merritt andBill Barrett approved
onfirst reading anordinance allowing
the city to borrowupto $3.9 million.
CouncilmenTony Thomas Jr. andRick
Cronauer were absent.
Inadditionto the floodcleanupreim-
bursements, the figure includes $1.2
millionto pay for outfitting of office
space at the Coal Street Ice Rink inantic-
ipationof anapprovedreimbursement
froma state Redevelopment Capital
Assistance Programgrant.
Council will revisit the borrowing
request at a meeting sometime next
week, city spokesmanDrewMcLaughlin
said.
City Administrator Marie McCormick
saidthe city is anticipating aidfromthe
Federal Emergency Management Agen-
cy andthe state to cover the already-paid
floodexpenses, but will needto borrow
what it hasnt receivedby the endof the
year.
Were desperately going to try to get
that money inhere before the endof the
year so we dont have to borrowthat
amount, McCormick said. But right
nowwere just getting anamount not to
exceedWe do have upuntil the time
we close the loanto change the figure
because it will be a not to exceed.
The cleanupandlabor costs stemfrom
the floodearlier this year as well as from
a November 2006 flashflood.
Council also approvedfour change
orders for constructionat the James F.
ConahanIntermodal Transportation
Center, adding more than$1.56 million
to the projects total cost.
McCormick saidanamendment add-
ing the same amount to the $10 million

gramgrant the city put towardconstruc-
tionof the center was approvedby for-
mer Gov. EdRendell inJanuary 2010, but
payment was stoppedby Gov. Tom
Corbett, who upontaking office stopped
all pending grant dispersals approvedby
Rendell until he couldreviewthem.
The city heardfromthe state Nov. 9
that the amendment hadagainbeen
approved, andis seeking to reimburse
the contractors as quickly as possible
nowthat the funds are forthcoming.
We have to put the money out first
(and) seek reimbursement, but I couldnt
amendthe budget for these contracts
until I knewthat we were going to get
that money, McCormick said, adding
that some contractors have waited18
months to be paid.
The amendment brings the total cost
of the intermodal center to $29.8 million.

The event includes refresh-

Tanzania has public schools,
but children tend to fare much
better in the private institutions,
Winkler said. Even if a child is
placed in a public school, he or
shestill needsmoney. Theyhave

cant go, Winkler said. There
are no books in public schools, so
they have to buy their own.

little girl who is nowstarting sec-
ond grade, Winkler said.
Originally from Ohio, Winkler
concedes helping children 7,500

HANOVER TWP. A man ac-
cused of shooting another man
during a robbery nearly three
years ago waived his right to a
preliminary hearing before Dis-
trict Judge Joseph Halesey on
Tuesday.
Robert AnthonyWiggins, 21, of
Wilkes-Barre, waived charges of
robbery, aggravatedassault, reck-
lessly endangering another per-
son and three counts of criminal
conspiracy to Luzerne County
Court.
Township police allege Wig-
gins conspired with Jeremy Bat-
tle, 21, to rob Muadhahin Sharif,
28, inside a Hanover Village
apartment on Jan. 18, 2009.
Battle was invited inside Sha-
rifs apartment after knocking on
the door. As the two men sat on a
couch, a maskedWiggins entered
and aimed a gun at Sharif while
demanding money, according to
the criminal complaint.
Wiggins then allegedly shot
Sharif in the leg.
Battle pleaded guilty to rob-
bery, aggravated assault and
criminal conspiracy for his role.
He was sentenced in January
2010 to three to six years in state
prison.
Wiggins was captured by
Wilkes-Barre police on Oct. 1

WILKES-BARRE An Exeter
couplechargedwithtakingmore
than $500,000 fromthe estate of
a late labor leader waived their
right to an arraignment in Lu-
zerne County Court on Tuesday.
Joel Riegel, 73, and Gloria
Bartnicki Riegel, 62, of Memo-
rial Street, waived their arraign-
ment on charges of theft by fail-
ure to make required disposition
of funds and criminal conspiracy
through their attorney, Demetri-
us Fannick.
The arraignment was waived
through court papers dated Nov.
19.
Investigators say the estates
assets were earmarked for the
United Way of Wyoming Valley,
and that the two began taking
the money in 2005 after the
death of Anthony Kane in De-
cember 2001.
The Riegels will noweither be
scheduled to stand trial or to en-
ter a guilty plea to the charges.
Kane, whoservedas president
of the teachers union for the
Wyoming Valley West School
District, was a devoted support-
er of the United Way and left the
bulk of his estate to the agency
after his death in December
2001.
The Riegels served as execu-
tors until 2007. The value of the
estate plummeted from$1.3 mil-
lion to just $2,425 during their
tenure, according to an account-
ing conducted as part of the civil
case involving the United Way.
Aninvestigationconductedby
the Charitable Trusts Unit, a civ-
il branch of the Attorney Gener-
als Office, and the estates new
executor alleged the Riegels
spent hundreds of thousands of
dollars on personal expenses, in-
cluding golf memberships, jew-
elry, lawn care and pest control.
The criminal charges are
based on an investigation by the
criminal unit of the Attorney
Generals Office that showed the
Riegels wrote more than
$150,000 worth of checks to
themselves and took roughly
$380,000 fromthe sale of a mort-
gage that was supposed to be de-
posited into the estate.

$500,000 from estate of late

CAIRO
Military claims credit
E
gypts military rulers were quick to
take credit Tuesday for a strong
turnout in the first elections since
Hosni Mubaraks ouster, a vote that
appeared to be the countrys freest and
fairest in living memory.
The military did not field candidates
in the parliamentary vote. But winning
bragging rights for a smooth, success-
ful and virtually fraud-free election
would significantly boost the ruling
generals in their bitter struggle with
youthful protesters in Cairos Tahrir
Square calling for them to transfer
power immediately to a civilian author-
ity.

Pakistan criticizes U.S.
Pakistan withdrew from an interna-
tional conference on stabilizing Af-
ghanistan to protest the deadly attack
by American forces on its troops, wid-
ening a fresh rupture in ties with a
nominal ally that is endangering the
U.S. plan for gradually ending the war.
A top Pakistani army general said
Tuesday that the deaths of 24 Pakistani
soldiers were the result of a deliberate
act of aggression. He said the military
has not decided whether to take part in
an American investigation into the
weekend encounter along the moun-
tainous Afghan border.
The hard line was aimed partly at
pacifying the countrys anti-American
public, most of whom detest their
leaders close association with Wash-
ington. The uncompromising stance of
the army was also likely designed to
press for more concessions from Wash-
ington.
OSLO, NORWAY
Mass killer declared insane
Confessed mass killer Anders Behr-
ing Breivik belongs in psychiatric care
instead of prison, Norwegian prosecu-
tors said Tuesday after a mental eval-
uation declared him legally insane
during a bomb-and-shooting rampage
that killed 77 people.
The court-ordered assessment found
that the self-styled anti-Muslim mil-
itant was psychotic during the July 22
attacks, which would make him men-
tally unfit to be convicted and impris-
oned for the countrys worst peacetime
massacre.
The report, written by two psychia-
trists who spent 36 hours talking to
Breivik, will be reviewed by an expert
panel before the Oslo district court
rules on his mental state.
Their conclusions surprised many
outside experts and contrasted with
earlier comments by the head of the
review panel, who told The Associated
Press in July that it was unlikely that
Breivik would be declared insane be-
cause the attacks were so carefully
planned and executed.
PITTSBURGH
Suit over jammed coffin
The family of a 91-year-old woman
claims in a lawsuit that workers at a
Catholic cemetery near Pittsburgh
jumped up and down on top of the
womans casket and otherwise jammed
it into a snug grave by poking it with
poles.
Theodore Zimmick, his daughter
and granddaughter sued the Pittsburgh
diocese and its Catholic Cemeteries
Association over the burial of his moth-
er, Agnes Zimmick, on Dec. 1, 2009 at
St. Stanislaus Catholic Cemetery in
Shaler Township.
After the funeral service, the family
said they went to visit the graves of
other family members only to see
workers allegedly stomping and walk-
ing on the casket and otherwise jam-
ming it into the grave.
Annabelle McGannon, executive
director of the cemeteries association,
says the familys claims have been
thoroughly investigated and are un-
founded.

BRUSSELS Eurozone na-

sources to help out their embat-
tled currency.
The17 eurozone finance minis-
ters on Tuesday agreed to seek
new ways to increase the re-
sources of the International Mon-
etary Fund through bilateral
loans that could be used to pro-
tect EU nations facing financial
trouble.
The ministers meetinginBrus-
sels also agreed on options to
give the rescue fund more lever-
age power and build up its re-
sources so it can help bigger trou-
bled EU mem-

ly and Spain.

up.
The monthly
meeting of 17
nations was
dominated by
attempts to
keep Greece afloat and find
enoughmoney tocoat a veneer of
credibility over Europes rescue
fund. It cameonthethirdstraight
day that Italy has taken a beating
in the bond markets, with inves-
tors growingincreasingly wary of
the countrys chances of avoiding
default.
Markets rose for the second
day Tuesday on hopes that pres-
sures on the ministers would pro-
duce some results.
The finance ministers ap-
proved the next installment of
the Greeces bailout loan 8 bil-
lion euros ($10.7 billion). With-
out that money, Greece would
have run out of cash before
Christmas, unable topayemploy-
ees or provide services. Two offi-
cials in Brussels reported the de-
velopment, speaking on condi-
tion of anonymity while the
meeting was still going on.
The installment is part of a 110
billion euro ($150 billion) bailout
from eurozone nations and the
International Monetary Fund
that Greece has been dependent
on since May 2010.

It was the first time
doubts about Cains con-

surfaced from the candi-
date himself. As recently as Tuesday morn-

Cain denied anew that he had an extra-
marital affair with a Georgia woman who
went public a day earlier with allegations
they hadbeenintimate for13 years.
It was just a friendship relationship, he
saidonthecall, accordingtothetranscript.
That being said, obviously, this is a cause
for reassessment.
He went on: With this latest one, we
have to do an assessment as to whether or
not this is going to create too much of a

Saying the episode had taken an emo-

Joe Agolino
The owner of Agolinos Char-Grill Restaurant in West Pittston, while far
from retiring, said that after rebounding from the September flood, hes
not inclined to go through the rebuilding process at the same site if
disaster strikes again. Patrons, meanwhile, can enjoy the eatery on
Luzerne Avenue, set to reopen on Friday morning.
Writer believes theres
no defending trapping
I
disagree with Tom Veneskys column
(Trapping helps control safety of fur-
bearers, Oct. 9.). Inhumane trapping is
unjustifiable.
Thirty to 40 percent of all furs come
from trapped animals. Terrified animals
caught in leg-hold traps often chew off
their paws to escape and are routinely
clubbed to death, stomped to death or
strangled. Many three-legged pets in Penn-
sylvania lost their legs to traps. When
domestic dogs, cats, birds, deer, etc., are
caught in traps, they are thrown to the side
to die because their fur isnt valuable.
The notion that trapping, gutting and
skinning an animal to wear its fur reduces
rabies is the most ludicrous thing I have
ever heard!
Trapping is an unsound, ecologically
destructive practice, actually increasing
the incidence of rabies because it disrupts
predator/prey relations, thus weakening
genetics and resistance to disease (rabies).
Taking healthy and unhealthy animals
indiscriminately actually contributes to
the problem it claims to solve.
After a dramatic reduction in the num-
ber of animals killed, the population will
bounce back the next year due to more
available food. This rebound effect is ac-
knowledged by game commissions and
hunters and trappers associations and is
implicit in their core concept of maxi-
mum sustainable yield, i.e., killing ani-
mals this year ensures that there will be
even more available to kill the following
year.

shameful, says reader
K
udos to Mike Martin for his letter to
the editor of Nov. 12 concerning the
Jerry Sandusky scandal.
What, I ask, would have been the reac-
tion of the Penn State University adminis-
tration if football coach Joe Paterno had
bypassed the chain of command and gone
directly to the police? Anger, I suspect.
And why, having reported the incident
to the chain of command, would JoePa
not have had reason to assume that the
matter was being properly handled by the
administration and therefore out of his
hands?
And why, after the fact, is the adminis-
tration seeking out the truth, having
already overreacted and fired JoePa,
instead of at least putting him on adminis-
trative leave or allowing him to retire with
dignity?
What a slap in the face to the man who
has done so much for Penn State! I, too,
say shame!

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2011 PAGE 11A
WITH ALL due respect to
state Rep. Phyllis Mundy
and Ive developed a lot of
respect for her over the years
the answer is yes.
In an article Tuesday
regarding a 3 percent pay
raise that legislators will get next month,
Mundy harked back to the base pay legisla-
tors received in 1995, when the law that set
the rate of annual raises was passed. Reporter
Andrew Seder of The Times Leader quoted
the Kingston Democrat as saying Do people
really think we should be working for
$47,000?
The urge to quip is strong: No. We think
you should work for less than that.
According to the U.S. Census, the 2009
median household income in Luzerne County
was $39,984 nearly $10,000 below the state
median, and less than half the base pay of
state legislators after this raise takes them to
$82,026.
More important, the 2009 household
median here is actually $2,010 less than it was
in 1999.
Its pretty hard for any legislator to justify a
75 percent pay increase since 1995 while
Luzerne County constituents endure on aver-
age a drop of almost 5 percent since 1999.
Im not picking on Mundy. In my dealings
she has come across as well-versed in the
topics at hand and fair in her stances. She has
long championed funding for effective early
education, a cause I fully support.
This is about all state legislators and Har-
risburg politicians. Theres bitter irony here. It
was only a few months ago that Gov. Tom
Corbett urged teacher unions to open their
contracts and negotiate a pay freeze because,
after all, the state has run out of money and
had to cut a small fortune from the education
budget.
Funny how lawmakers willing to vote for
Corbetts budget (Mundy didnt support the
education cuts) cant bring themselves to pass
a law eliminating their raises completely for a
few years or better yet, cutting their salaries
to show they really want to share the pain in a
direct and proportional way.
Were struggling through an era of 9 per-
cent unemployment. Many of those people
lucky enough to be working havent seen
raises in years, even as their health insurance
costs soared. Harrisburg politicians should
treat this pay raise like Ebola virus.
And no, it is not enough to give it back to
the state Treasury or donate it to charity, as
all local lawmakers said they would. Its ob-
scene that they even get a raise, regardless of
what they do with it.
And if they do give it back or donate it, it
still counts toward their pensions, fattening
their retirement pay and upping our tax bur-
den for years to come.
Legislators might have an easier time justi-
fying their pay raises if they resolved a few
problems that have lingered for years. You
know, trivial stuff such as finding money for
the billions in infrastructure repair needed in
the state; fixing the pension fund shortfalls
they helped to create by raising their pensions
and those of public school teachers a decade
ago; passing a natural gas severance tax to
pay for oversight, environmental protection
and the various costs local municipalities face
as the booming industry alters the physical
and social environment.
The 1995 law was an improvement over
past practice. Legislators often gave them-
selves big raises whenever they thought they
could get away with it politically. Using a
cost-of-living formula to set raises was a log-
ical way to remove greed from the equation.
But the formula is clearly flawed. During
the worst economic downturn since the Great
Depression, state lawmakers got raises even
as constituents living on Social Security
didnt.
One of our lawmakers needs to draft a bill
changing the formula and eliminating raises
for a few years. And when it comes up for a
vote, the answer from every senator and
representative should be unequivocal:
Yes.

arent for everyone.
But for a growing
number of Pennsylva-
nia students and their families,
its an attractive alternative to
the traditional classroom set-
ting students learning from
homeviacomputer, at their own
paceandaroundtheir particular
schedules.
Across thestate, about 30,000
students are enrolled in one of
13cyber charter schools, double
the number fromfive years ago.
But changes need to be made.
Students incyber charters are
falling well behind their brick-
and-mortar peers on the Penn-
sylvania System of School As-
sessment tests. Officials at some
cyber schools blame the dispar-
ity on the diverse nature of their
student bodies, which they say
makes it more difficult to hit the
state-mandated targets.
That might be but theyre
still going to have figure out
howto hit them. Continued fail-
ure could eventually result in
their charters being revoked.
Competition is likely to force
bothcyber chartersanddistricts
to focus more on progress and
improve their games. And in ei-
ther case, the students benefit.
Other changes have to come
fromstatelawmakers, whoneed
to re-examine the charter
school law and make revisions
to deal with tuition disparity
and lax oversight.

UST IN CASE Power-
ball winner Steven
Lloyd, of Luzerne Coun-
ty, is wondering what to
do with his megamillion-dollar
prize announced on Monday,
were pitching a few ideas to
the Harding resident, our good
buddy, our pal.
You dont mind if we call you
pal, do you, Steven?
OK, so maybe were not
friends, not even the artificial
Facebook sort. Nei-
ther, we suppose, are
many of the people
and organizations
that likely will con-
tact you, or try to,
since you posed for a photo-
graph with that oversized
$37.6 million check the large-
st Pennsylvania Lottery payout
ever awarded in this county.
The difference between the
congratulatory, back-slapping
horde andus, Steven, is that we
arent interested in your mon-
ey, per se.
We trust that you already
have contacted a reliable ac-
countant and an attorney. And
that youve made yourself inac-
cessible, at least temporarily,
to calls from long-lost rela-
tives, dethroned African
princes and your college alum-
ni association. Perhaps you
even had a chance to peruse
websites with advice for the
nouveau wealthy, such as
ww.wikihow.com/Deal-With-
Winning-the-Lottery. (If not,
do those things first.)
Our interest, Steven, is in
what happens later, after you
treat yourself to the finer
things, perhaps flingsomecash
toward bling and other gifts
for the family and maybe even
fritter away a sum. Then what?
We hear youre a good guy,
Steven. Andif charitablegiving
fits into your future plans, we
hope you go about it with care
and concern for maximizing
the benefits to this community.
Your money has empowered
you to influence things, many
things, for the better.
If you care about conserving
forests and open space, for
example, donate
to the Trucksville-
based North
Branch Land
Trust. (See
www.nblt.org.) If
feeding the hungry in rural Lu-
zerne and Wyoming counties
tops your list, contact the Com-
missiononEconomicOpportu-
nity. (Visit ceopeoplehelping-
people.org.)
If your aim is to leave a lega-
cy gift, something that will car-
ry the Lloyd name in perpetui-
ty, consider options at The Lu-
zerne Foundation
(www.luzfdn.org) and the
United Way of Wyoming Valley
(www.unitedwaywb.org).
No matter your interest area,
Steven, theres a local program
in need of support. Lets do
lunch and talk about it some-
time. (Well buy.)
Until then, enjoy your win-
nings. And, Steven, here is the
truth about todays editorial:
Its message isnt intended for
you as much as for Luzerne
Countys other 300,000-plus
residents, each of whomalso is
empowered to influence
things, many things, for the
better.
Giving is winning.

veiled legislation Monday seeking to ex-
tend the current one-year payroll tax cut
expiring Dec. 31 and expand the size of
the cut for 2012.
Barletta is among a group of Republi-
cans who have indicated they are agree-
able to extending the payroll tax cut for
another year.
But many Republicans oppose how
Casey and other Senate Democrats want
to pay for the about $250 billion cost of
the tax cut a 3.25 percent surcharge on
the income taxes paid by people making
more than $1million a year.
The payroll tax cut in effect this year
slashedtherateby2percent, from6.2per-
cent of a persons earnings to 4.2 percent.
That saved a family with $50,000 of in-
come about $1,000.
Now, Senate Democrats want to cut
the payroll tax further, to 3.1 percent,
which Casey said would save a family
earning $50,000 a year about $1,500 next
year and spur the type of spending that
canboost theeconomy. Caseysaidthetax
cut alsoapplies toemployers onthefirst
$5 million of an employers payroll and
would encourage more hiring.
The tax cut would have a substantial
impact for employers and employees,
Casey said Monday. We know this
works. This is the right thing to do and
we have got to do this by the end of the
year.
Barlettasaidviaemail thisweekthat he
believes Congressional Republicans can
find common ground with the president
onthis issue andothers. But I thinkPresi-
dent Obama should stay in Washington
and work to find that common ground,
rather than spend thousands of tax dol-
lars to fly around and campaign.
Northeastern Pennsylvanias other
House member, Rep. Tom Marino, R-Ly-
coming Township, said via email that he
doesnot opposeextendingthepayroll tax
cut, but believes a surcharge on million-
aires, whichwouldbea permanent taxin-
crease while the extensionis for one year,
would hamper job creation efforts.
The federal government does not tax
too little, it spends too much, Marino
said. This economy will not turnaround
until we cut federal spending and down-
size Washingtonto reduce the debt while
keepingtaxeslow. I amgladthePresident
acknowledges the positive effects of a tax
cut like the payroll tax holiday, but there
is not much use to it if it is paid for with a
permanent tax increase.

SCRANTON Vice President
Joe Biden campaigned in 2008 in
Northeastern Pennsylvania, tout-
ing he was a Scranton native.
That same year, U.S. Sen. Bob
Casey, a Scranton resident, sat at
the counter at
the Avenue Din-
er in Wyoming
and ate pie with
then-Sen. Ba-
rack Obama,
who was run-
ning for presi-
dent.
Neither Biden nor Casey is ex-
pectedtobe at Obamas side today
when the president speaks at
Scranton High School about his
American Jobs Act.
Its unclear right now whether
Sen. Casey will be there, said
April Mellody of Caseys staff. It
all depends on the timing of votes
in the Senate.
Mellody said Casey will remain
in Washington if the votes for the
defense authorization bill and the
payroll tax bill conflict with Oba-
mas time in Scranton.
Everythingiscontingent onthe
times of the votes, Mellody said.
Politico reported Tuesday that
its unlikely that Caseywouldap-
pear with Obama today.
Theabsenceislikelytostirupa
round of speculation that Casey,
who faces re-election next year,
isnt going for other reasons, the
Politico report stated. Republi-
cans have been working overtime
to remind Pennsylvania voters of
Caseys relationship with Obama.
Casey was the first high-ranking
Pennsylvania electedofficial to en-
dorse Obama during the 2008
Democratic primary, and has re-
mained an ally ever since, al-
though the senator was critical of
the presidents jobs plan.
In the Politico report, Mellody
noted that Casey did appear with
Obamaduringavisit toPittsburgh
in October and with Biden during
a tour of flood-damaged areas in
September.
Peter Towey, spokesman for the
Steve Welch for Senate campaign,
issueda statement onbehalf of the
Republican senatorial candidate.
Sen. Casey is tryingtodistance
himself from the President, To-
wey said. Sen. Casey is going to
havetorunalot furtherthanWash-
ingtontohidethefact hehasvoted
with the Obama Administration
98 percent of the time. Sen. Casey
has been a cheerleader for the
worst of this Presidents agenda.
He supported the stimulus, all the
bailouts, and ObamaCare. Sen.
Casey needs to explain to the peo-
ple of Pennsylvania why he has
been a rubber stamp for all the
failed policies of this administra-
tion.

Shedidnot knowif revenuewill
exceed$120.7milliontominimize
the need for further cuts.
I dont know what the final
number will come in at. Unfortu-
nately, there will be cuts, Petrilla
said.
Someof thestaff cuts stemfrom
the new home rule governments
merger of departments, she said.
For example, theclerkof courts,
prothonotary, recorder of deeds,
register of wills andsheriff depart-
ments will be consolidated under
the new judicial services and re-
cords division.
All the staff will be performing
judicial records duties, so you
wont need25percent of thestaff,
Petrilla said.
The revenue side was boosted
with a projected $5.3 million in-
crease in property tax collection.
The county tax base has de-
creasedsince November 2010, but
Petrilla said commissioners ex-
pect an increase because a tax di-
version program in Wilkes-Barre
Township is expiring and tax col-
lectors have become more effi-
cient and proactive in obtaining
payments.
Commissioner Stephen A. Ur-
ban said the county also sold a lot
of problem properties that had
been pulled numerous times from
past back-tax sales, which means
theyreinthehandsof newowners
who should pay taxes.
The county probation services
department a court-controlled
branch had the largest budget
cut as of Tuesday afternoon: $1.2
million, records show. The draft
budget reduces its spending from
$9.26 million to $8.07 million.
Rowoffice cutbacks
Several rowoffices lost funding
for deputies.
County Prothonotary Carolee
Medico Olenginski was outraged
that funding for her deputy Art
Bobbouinewas eliminatedinad-
dition to $107,000 in payroll cuts
for union workers.
She said Bobbouine has been
handlingonlineaccess toofficere-
cords and has a law degree that
provides additional expertise.
Theunioncut will equatetoabout
three layoffs of clerical workers,
she said.
Theyregivingthenewcouncil
a sham budget. Theyre going to
throw them into chaos, Medico
Olenginski said.
She also criticized the commis-
sioners decision to temporarily
remove employee access to the
draft budget, saying it is sneaky
and unfair to managers who want
to monitor changes.
The controllers office is now
the only county office with access
to the internal budget draft out-
side of county Budget/Finance
Chief Joan Pusateri because the
commissioners informed the fi-
nancial software company to
block departments from seeing
the information, said county Con-
troller Walter Griffith.
GriffithsaidPetrillaalsosent an
email to the council-elect criticiz-
ing him for releasing budget up-
dates, saying commissioners
would provide the council with
firmnumbers.
The controller said he had re-
ceived requests from some coun-
cil members for the information
anddidnt want topickandchoose
recipients. Griffith said he asked
thecouncil-elect tolet himknowif
the information was unwanted,
but nobody contacted him to be
removed fromhis mailings.
Several council members-elect
say they have lots of questions
about the new budget. They will
have 45 days to amend the budget
after they take office Jan. 2.
The Luzerne County Commis-
sioners will meet with the county
council-elect at 5 p.m. today in the
commissioners meeting room at
the courthouse.
The Home Rule Transition Com-
mittee will meet at 6:30 p.m. in
the second-floor jury room at the
courthouse.
Commissioners have scheduled

ered by the Insurance Institute
for Highway Safety that showed
676 people were killed and
113,000 injured nationwide by
driverswhoranredlightsin2009.
Red-light cameras reduced viola-
tions by 40 to 50 percent and in-
juries by 25 to 35 percent, accord-
ingtoastudyconductedbythein-
stitute.
TheNational MotoristsAssoci-
ation, which opposes the cam-
eras, saidnumerous other studies
have shown the cameras actually
increasethenumber of accidents,
primarily because they cause mo-
torists to jam on their brakes,
leading to rear-end collisions.
A 2007 study by The Virginia
TransportationResearchCouncil
foundaccidentscausedbydrivers
running red lights dropped by 24
to 22 percent and rear-end crash-
es increasedby50to71percent at
the same intersections.
Philadelphia is currently the
only city in Pennsylvania that uti-
lizes the cameras. The Philadel-
phiaInquirer, inastorypublished
in October, reported its reviewof
policedatashowedcrashes areup
12 to 15 percent at intersections
that have had the cameras for at
least a year.
Other options
TheNational MotoristsAssoci-
ation contends there are more ef-
fective ways to reduce red-light
violations, including adjusting
yellow-light duration and higher
visibility traffic signals.
If city officials are truly inter-
ested in the safety of their citi-
zens, they should look at solu-
tions that work rather than just
collect money from traffic tick-
ets, Gary Biller, executive direc-
tor of the motorists group, saidin
a press release.
Yudichak acknowledged there
havebeenconflictingstudies, but
said he concurs with Pileggi that,
overall, the data support the no-
tion that the cameras improve
safety.
Thestudies Iveseensaythere
is a 24 to 25 percent reduction in
traffic deaths because of the cam-
eras, Yudichak said. They pro-
vide one more tool for municipal-
ities to improve safety.
Baker said she opposed the bill
because she is not convinced the
cameras increase safety. She also
has concerns about their fairness.
Some municipalities in other
states that utilize the cameras
have been accused of shortening
the yellowlight signal to increase
the number of violations.
Where motorist safety is the
emphasis, thesecameras oftendo
not produce revenue to cover the
costs. Where the light cycles are
set with revenue needs in mind,
the incidence of driver error and
accidents seems to rise, Baker
said.
Yudichak said the Pennsylva-
nia legislation includes provi-
sions to protect against possible
abuses.
A key provision in the bill is
that the (revenue generated) can-
not beusedforthegeneral fund. It
needs to be distributed to traffic
safety improvement programs
within the municipality, he said.
W-Buncommitted
DrewMcLaughlin, spokesman
for Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom
Leighton, said city officials have
not yet determined whether the
cameras wouldbeappropriatefor
the city should they be approved
by the legislature.
We will give a thorough look,
but there are many issues that
need to be properly examined be-
fore the city can make a decision
on the installation of these cam-
eras if they are approved by Har-
risburg, McLaughlin said in an
email.
Yudichak noted the legislation
does not require cities to install
the cameras. It leaves that deci-
sion up to each municipality.
It empowers local govern-
ments to make that decision, he
said. As long as you make sure
there are protections to ensure
this is about traffic safety and not
revenue generation, I think we
need to employ this to make sure
we protect the public.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
While struggling to find answers
for his teams three-game losing
streak, Tom Coughlin believes
the New York Giants are still as
good as they showed in beating
the New England Patriots earlier
this month.
CoughlininsistedTuesdaythat
the Giants (6-5) are not as bad as
they played in a 49-24 loss to the
Saints Monday night and that
they have the talent to knock off
the undefeated Green Bay Pack-
ers (11-0) this weekend.
But the problemthat has beset
the Giants in their most recent
second-half skidisafailuretoplay
a complete game.
Against the Saints, Eli Man-
ning and the offense played well
andthedefensedidnt. It waspret-
tymuchtheoppositetheweekbe-
fore in a 17-10 loss against the Ea-
gles anda combinationof failures
inthe 27-20loss toSanFrancisco.
The skid has put the Giants a
game behind the Dallas Cowboys
(7-4) in the NFC East with New
Yorkfacingthe prospect of anoth-
er loss as Green Bay looms Sun-
day.

ALLENPARK, Mich. Nda-
mukongSuhis goingbacktothe
NFL, this time hoping for some
leniency.
The league suspended De-
troits All-Pro defensive tackle
without pay for two games on
Tuesday, punishing the second-
year player for roughing up a
Green Bay Packers offensive li-
neman after the whistle last
week. Suh promptly appealed
his suspension, hoping his
stomp doesnt keep him away
from his playoff-hopeful team-
mates when they need him
most.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello
said Suhs hearing will be with
Art Shell, an appointed appeal
officer who is
paid by the
league and
NFLPA. As of
late Tuesday
afternoon, the
hearing hadnt
been sched-
uled, but the
league has said it will expedite
the procedure to give Suh and
the Lions an answer before Sun-
days game at New Orleans.
If Suh doesnt win the appeal,
he wont play against the Saints
or in the Dec. 11 home game
against Minnesota. He wouldre-
turn Dec. 12 ahead of a road
game against Oakland.

Amid reports that he will be a
serious candidate for Penn
States coaching job, Mississippi
States Dan Mullen declined to
address his future on Tuesday.
When asked at a press confer-
ence whether he or his agent had
been in contact with any other
schools, including Penn State,
Mullen told reporters in Stark-
ville, We dont talk about that.
You know our policy. We talk
about Mississippi State.
Speculation
has ramped up
following Penn
States announ-
cement Mon-
day that the
school had
formed a
searchcommit-
tee to find a permanent replace-
ment for Joe Paterno.
Interim coach Tom Bradley is
expected to be one of several
people to interview for the posi-
tion.
Mullens name inparticular hit
national airwaves Tuesday after-
noon when an ESPN report said
Penn State was interested in
Mullen, citing an unidentified
source.
That came just a fewhours be-
fore Mullen was set for a regular-
ly scheduled end-of-season sit-
down with reporters, who asked
the third-year Bulldogs coach
about being on Penn States list
for the job.
Great, Mullen deadpanned.
Imsure Imoneverybodys. Am
I right? Every time a job comes
open, doesnt myname come up?
So you know our policy. We talk
Mississippi State football. Thats
all we ever talk about.
Born in the Philadelphia area,
Mullen grew up in New Hamp-
shire and is best known for being
a highly successful assistant un-
der Urban Meyer at Bowling
Green, Utah and finally at Flor-
ida, where he was the offensive
coordinator on two national title
teams.
Meyer was introduced Mon-
day as the new coach at Ohio
State.
Mullen was hired away from
Florida by Mississippi State for
his first head coaching job in
2009. He has posted a record of
20-17 with the Bulldogs, high-
lightedby a 9-4campaignin2010
that was capped by a 52-14 win
over Michigan in the Gator
Bowl.
The Bulldogs went 6-6 this
season and are bowl eligible.

NORFOLK, Va. The
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins had gotten a gift goal
and were tied in the second pe-
riod when double trouble
came.
First a slashing penalty on
Simon Despres. Then, only 21
seconds later, a hooking penal-
ty on Bryan
Lerg.
Then, a 5-
on-3 power
play goal by
Norfolks Cory
Conacher that
send the Admi-
rals sailing to-
ward a 5-2 win
Tuesday at
Scope Arena.
Conacher
added another
power-play
goal in the sec-
ond period and
Trevor Smith
scored into an
empty Penguin
net for the games final goal.
Niko Dimitrakos scored a
power-play goal for the Pens,
who also got a gift goal from
Ben Street to tie things at 2-2
in the second period.
We got ourselves into some
penalty trouble tonight, said
Pens coach John Hynes, who
lost defensemen Alexandre Pi-
card and Robert Bortuzzo to
Pittsburgh after the morning
skate Tuesday.
Thats such a good offen-
sive team were playing Nor-
folk leads the AHL in scoring
that is not a recipe for success
to take seven minor penal-
ties.
Still, Hynes added, there
was plenty of time left.
Not when youre getting on-
ly nine shots after the first pe-
riod, only two shots in the
third.
The Pens have lost six of
their last seven, and team cap-
tain Ryan Craig a former Ad-
miral captain said its time
for each of the players to look
in the mirror.
Weve got to make a better
play on that goal, said Craig,
who was on the ice for Nor-
folks third goal. That ends up
being the game-winner.
The Pens got a good start
when Dimitrakos blasted in a
power play goal for a 1-0 lead.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. Syracuse mens
basketball coach Jim Boeheim said
Tuesday that what happened on my
watch will be revealed once police
complete their inquiry into child mo-
lestation accusations against his former
longtime assistant.
I never worried about my job status
in 36 years, Boeheim said at his first
postgame news conference since Ber-
nie Fine was fired Sunday. I do my job.
What happened on my watch, we will
see. When the investigation is done, we
will find out what happened on my
watch.
Advocates for sex abuse victims said
Boeheim should resign or be fired for
adamantly defending Fine and verbally
disparaging two former Syracuse ball-
boys who accused Fine of molesting
them.

EASTLANSING, Mich. The
play helped send Michigan State
to a division title and could have
ruined Wisconsins season.
With the score tied on the final
snap, Kirk Cousins rolled out to
his right and threw the ball deep
toward the end zone. Keith Ni-
chol made the catchafter a carom
and fought to reach the goal line,
giving the Spartans a 37-31 victo-
ry over the Badgers in one of col-
lege footballs best games this
season.
If the rematch is half as good as
that October thriller, the Big Ten
should have quite a showin store
for its inaugural conference title
game. No. 11 Michigan State and
No. 15 Wisconsin meet again Sat-
urday night in Indianapolis.
I dont think you could drawit
upanybetter thantwoteams that
came down to the last play, Ni-
chol said. Winner takes all.
When the Spartans and Badg-
ers met earlier inthe season, they
were already eyeing a spot in this
weekends title game. Wisconsin,
in fact, was undefeated and ave-
raging over 50 points a game.
Although the regular-season
clash is best remembered for the
stunning finish, it was entertain-
ing throughout, with both teams
rallying from two-touchdown
deficits.
Michigan State and Wiscon-
sin are the two best teams in this
conference, Spartans coach
Mark Dantonio said Tuesday.
That is without question, I be-
lieve.
The Spartans were coming off
an emotional win over Michigan
the first time they playedWiscon-
sin, and Michigan State looked
flat at first, falling behind 14-0.
Then the Spartans turned the
game around in the second quar-
ter with special teams plays that
shifted the momentum.
After pinning Wisconsin back
with a punt, Michigan State
forced an intentional grounding
penalty in the end zone for a safe-
ty that made it 14-2. Later in the
quarter, the Spartans blocked a
field goal, and just before half-
time, Michigan State scored on a
blocked punt to take a 23-14 lead.
It was 31-17 when the Badgers
finally found their footing. Quar-
terback Russell Wilson ran for a
touchdown and threw for anoth-
er in the fourth quarter to tie the
game.
But that only set up a finish
that still lingers for Wisconsin
coach Bret Bielema.
Its not like its running
through my mind 24 hours a day,
but it was a great highlight on
ESPN for about three weeks
there I swear it was on every
commercial, Bielema said. So
its kind of forced on you in cer-
tain ways. But I think if you are a
person that takes things person-
ally, youre going to remember
things like that your entire life.
Its kind of what motivates us as
coaches.
The play was called Rocket
Cousins was able to buy
enough time for his receivers to
make it down the field. His pass
bounced off wide receiver B.J.
Cunningham, whowas inthe end
zone, and was caught out of the
air by Nichol, who was a few feet
away on the other side of the goal
line.
After making the catch, Nichol
struggled to reach the end zone.
He was initially ruled short, but
Michigan State was awarded the
winning touchdown after a re-
view.
Youve got to be fortunate, ob-
viously, or blessed if youre going
to get that pass, Dantonio said.
But at the same time, its a play.
They all count.
A week after losing to Michi-
gan State, Wisconsin stumbled
again, falling at Ohio State on an-
other long pass in the final min-
ute. Since then, the Badgers have
been dominant again.
Last weekend, with a spot in
the title game on the line, Wis-
consin (10-2, 6-2) routed Penn
State 45-7. That gives the Badg-
ers another chance to face Michi-
gan State (10-2, 7-1) this time
with a Rose Bowl berth on the
line.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.
Virginias best opponent to date
also brought out the best in the
Cavaliers.
Mike Scott had 18 points and
11 rebounds Tuesday night and
Virginia used a 19-2 run in the
second half to take command
and beat No. 14 Michigan 70-58
in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge.
The Cavaliers limited Michi-
gan to 44-percent shooting,
won the rebounding battle
36-26 and didnt get careless
with the ball as they had in
previous games. They had eight
turnovers, two after halftime.
When we play really hard on
defense and get stops, that
makes our offense run, that
makes our offense go, fresh-
man guard Malcolm Brogdon
said after scoring 13 of his 16
points in the decisive second
half. I think we were able to
get into a rhythm offensively
because of our defense.
Joe Harris added 18 points as
the Cavaliers (6-1) went from
trailing 39-34 to leading 53-41
with 6:43 remaining. Harris
floater sparked the burst. Brog-
don scored eight points during
the run, and Scott had six.
Scott hit back-to-back baskets
to break a 41-all tie as the Cava-
liers held Michigan scoreless
for 6 1/2 minutes, running off
15 consecutive points.
Ohio State 85, Duke 63
COLUMBUS, Ohio Jared
Sullinger scored 21 points and
three teammates were close
behind as No. 2 Ohio State
roared out to an 11-0 lead and
never looked back in beating
third-ranked Duke in the ACC/
Big Ten Challenge.
Buckeyes fans chanted Over-
rated at the Blue Devils in the
final minute.
The Buckeyes (7-0) never
trailed, weathering a Duke rally
later in the first half and then
leading by 20 for most of the
second half.
Austin Rivers had 22 points
and Mason Plumlee 16 for the
Blue Devils (7-1), coming off
wins over ranked opponents
Michigan and Kansas in their
previous two games.
William Buford scored 20,
Deshaun Thomas 18 and Aaron
Craft 17 for the Buckeyes, who
gave the Big Ten a 4-2 edge in
the conference matchups.
Baylor 90, Prairie View 54
WACO, Texas Perry Jones
III scored 27 points with some
high-flying plays in his season
debut and No. 7 Baylor defeat-
ed Prairie View to wrap up its
season-opening six-game home-
stand undefeated.
The Bears, after quickly
falling behind 11-2, never trailed
after Pierre Jacksons bounce
pass to Jones for a one-handed
slam dunk that made it 17-16
midway through the first half.
That was part of 16 consecutive
points by Baylor in a 4-minute
spurt when Jones scored nine
points.
Jones, the 6-foot-11 sopho-
more forward who was the
preseason Big 12 player of the
year, had to sit out the first five
games to complete an NCAA
suspension for accepting im-
proper benefits before he got to
Baylor. His six-game penalty
included the Bears finale last
season in the Big 12 tourna-
ment.
Texas 73, North Texas 57
AUSTIN, Texas Myck
Kabongo scored 16 points to
lead Texas over North Texas
73-57 Tuesday night.
Kabongo also had seven
assists. Jonathan Holmes added
12 points and Julien Lewis
scored 11 for the Longhorns
(4-2).
Alzee Williams led North
Texas (1-4) with a career-high
17 points. North Texas was
playing in its fourth straight
road game. The Mean Green
wont return to the North Texas
Coliseum until Dec. 10.
Illinois 71, Maryland 62
COLLEGE PARK, Md.
Sam Maniscalco scored 24
points, Brandon Paul had 17
and undefeated Illinois pulled
away to a victory over Mary-
land in the Big Ten/ACC Chal-
lenge.
Northwestern 76,
Ga. Tech 60
ATLANTA John Shurna,
the Big Tens leading scorer,
had 25 points to lead North-
western past Georgia Tech in
the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
Shurna, a 6-foot-9 senior
forward, made three 3-pointers
and had a team-high eight re-
bounds as Northwestern (6-0)
remained unbeaten. Drew
Crawford had 14 points and
Luka Mirkovic had 13.

NEW YORK John Mitchell
and Brad Richards scored 90
seconds apart in New Yorks
four-goal second period, and
the Rangers held on to beat the
Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3 on
Tuesday night for their third
consecutive win.
Ryan Callahan and Marian
Gaborik both had a goal and
assist in the period, and Ri-
chards added two assists as
New York won its seventh
straight at home and 10th in 12
games overall. The four goals in
the period matched a season
high, done three previous times
including twice in three
games.
Henrik Lundqvist made 24
saves for his 10th win in 17
outings.
Sidney Crosby helped set up
James Neals first-period goal
that gave Pittsburgh a 1-0 lead
and assisted on Pascal Dupuis
goal that made it 4-3 early in
the third. Crosby has at least
one point in four of five games
since returning from a concus-
sion that sidelined him since
January. Crosby, who played at
Madison Square Garden for the
first time in exactly one year,
has two goals and nine assists
this season.
Crosby wasnt forgotten by
Rangers fans during his long
absence, and heard boos nearly
every time he touched the
puck.
Blues 2, Capitals 1
WASHINGTON Dale
Hunters NHL coaching career
began with a thud as the Cap-
itals struggled again in a loss to
St. Louis.
T.J. Oshie and Matt DAgosti-
ni scored for the Blues, who
won their fourth straight game
to improve to 8-1-2 under Ken
Hitchcock.
Nicklas Backstrom got the
lone goal for the Capitals,
whose attack was as ineffective
under Hunter as it had been
recently under fired coach
Bruce Boudreau. Washington
was outshot 30-19 by the stin-
giest defense in the NHL.
Panthers 3, Hurricanes 1
RALEIGH, N.C. Shawn
Matthias scored with 3:19 left
to help Florida spoil Kirk Mull-
ers debut as the Hurricanes
coach.
Tomas Fleischmann also
scored and Matthias added an
empty-netter for the Southeast
Division-leading Panthers. Jose
Theodore made 26 saves.
Islanders 2, Sabres 1
BUFFALO, N.Y. Brian
Rolston scored the go-ahead
goal 9:23 into the third period
and Al Montoya stopped 30
shots to send the Islanders to
their second straight road win.
Matt Moulson also scored for
New York, which opened the
season 0-5-2 away from Long
Island before starting its four-
game road trip with a 3-2 win at
New Jersey on Saturday. Mon-
toya was particularly solid in
the third period, when he stop-
ped 14 of the 15 shots he faced.
Coyotes 4, Blackhawks 1
CHICAGO Mike Smith
made 24 saves, Ray Whitney
had a goal and two assists, and
the Phoenix Coyotes beat the
Chicago Blackhawks.
Daymond Langkow, Shane
Doan and Radim Vrbata also
scored as the Coyotes improved
to 7-3-1 on the road.
When Whitney scored Phoe-
nixs second goal in the final
period, Chicago coach Joel
Quenneville pulled goalie Co-
rey Crawford, who gave up four
scores on 21 shots.
N H L R O U N D U P
Second-period outburst leads Rangers past Penguins
The Associated Press
ment in which the Pens kept
the puck in the Norfolk end be-
fore drawing a penalty on the
Admirals Jean-Philippe Cote.
And Street got an early
Christmas present when Nor-
folk goalie Dustin Tokarski let
a puck through his legs that
wouldnt have drawn a speed-
ing ticket outside on Granby
Street.
But that was their highwater
mark.
Every time we seem to be
getting ahead, we end up
shooting ourselves in the
foot, said Craig of Tuesdays
game and of the six-loss-in-
seven-games problem.
Its up to the players to take
care of our business and how
we play. Each individual play-
er has to be accountable. Well
get back on track, but right
now it doesnt feel very good.

Lewis paces big school team
By JOHN ERZAR

Roccograndi Parsnik Lewis
Growing up, Mullen said he
cheered for Penn State and
Notre Dame, with his father be-
ing a Penn State grad. Mullen
himself went to Ursinus College
in southeast Pennsylvania, some
three hours away fromState Col-
lege.
Scheduled to meet with his
players later on Tuesday, Mullen
said his message to them would
be the same.
Im going to tell them the
same thing, Mullen said. Im
happy here and lets worry about
being here. Im sure my names
gonna come up. Every single
jobthat comes openlast year, my
name came up with it.
It appears that a lot of them
this year I dont know, I have
people texting me saying some-
ones saying this about you or
that about you. Im pretty busy,
so I dont have time to pay much
attention.
Mullens namewas mentioned
frequently last offseason when
Meyer announced he was step-
ping down at Florida. The Ga-
tors eventually hired Texas de-
fensive coordinator Will Mus-
champ. Mullen was also men-
tioned in connection with the
head job at Miami, which ended
up going to former Penn State
captain and assistant Al Golden.
With that in mind, Mississippi
State athletic director Scott
Stricklin issued his comment on
his Twitter account.
Deja vu ... Everyone take a
deep breath and pre-order bowl
tickets, he wrote. Speculation
of this nature is the price of suc-
cess.

ford led the selections to the

small school all-star team.

the investigation of child moles-
tation allegations against Fine.
Syracuse took charge with an
18-3 run spanning halftime.
Southerland scored seven of the
points, hitting a fallaway jumper
on the baseline, a 3-pointer from
theleft wing, andconvertingare-
sounding slam dunk off a pretty
lob pass from Scoop Jardine to
give the Orange a 32-24 halftime
lead.
Jardinestartedthesecondhalf
with a jumper from the right
wing, then fed Fab Melo with a
no-look pass for another dunk.
Kris Joseph and Brandon Triche
followedwith3-pointerstoboost
the lead to 42-26 and the Eagles
(4-3) were grounded.
Triche had 12 points and Jo-
seph11for Syracuse.
Darrell Lampley led Eastern
Michigan (4-2) with19 points.
Some commentators and sex
abuse victims advocates had
saidBoeheimshouldresignorbe
fired after three men, including
two former Syracuse ballboys,
accused Fine of molesting them
and Boeheim verbally attacked
the accusers.
After initially saying Fines
first two accusers were lying to
make money in the wake of the
Penn State University sexual
abuse scandal, Boeheim backed
off those comments in a state-
ment Sunday.
What is most important is
that this matter be fully investi-
gatedandthat anyonewithinfor-
mationbesupportedtocomefor-
ward so that the truth can be
found, Boeheim said after the
firingof Fine, whohasdeniedthe
allegations. I deeply regret any
statements I made that might
have inhibited that from occur-
ring or been insensitive to vic-
tims of abuse.
Syracuse University Chancel-
lor Nancy Cantor gave Boeheim
a vote of confidence earlier Tues-
day after emerging from an eco-
nomic development conference
with state officials in Albany.
Coach Boeheimis our coach;
hes getting the team ready to-
night, Cantor said. Were very
pleased with what he said Sun-
day night, and we stand by it.
Some fans offered their sup-
port before Tuesday nights
game.
I feel sorrythat hestuckupfor
a friend, said 40-year-old Mike
Wong of Syracuse. He was just
sticking up for Bernie. He didnt
understand the situation. I think
the chancellor did the right
thing.
Its sad, added 29-year-old
Michael Knowles of Syracuse.
Weve all stuck up for a friend
and then realized we shouldnt
have. He (Boeheim) didnt do
anything wrong.
In its last home game against
Colgate 10 days ago, Fines cus-
tomary seat was left vacant and
players tapped it as a symbolic
gesture in support of Fine. On
Tuesday night, there was no
empty seat.

The Boston Red Sox have
picked Bobby Valentine to be
their next manager and the sides
were working to complete a con-
tract, a person familiar with the
decision told The Associated
Press on Tues-
day night.
The person
spoke on condi-
tion of anonym-
ity because no
announcement
had been made.
Several media
outlets in Bos-
ton, citing anonymous sources,
reported earlier in the evening
that Valentine would be the
teams new manager.
The club had no comment,
spokesperson Pam Ganley said.
Valentine was in Japan this
week, where he managed from
2004-09, and said he was about
to take off on a flight when he
sent the AP a text message at
9:48 p.m. Tuesday saying he had
no comment on the Red Sox sit-
uation.
Valentine would succeed Terry
Francona, who left after eight
seasons following Bostons re-
cord collapse in September.
Francona guided the Red Sox to
a pair of World Series champion-
ships, in 2004 and 2007.

there were three investiga-
tions and nothing was corrob-
orated, Boeheim said. That
was the basis for me saying
what I said. I said what I
knew at the time.
I supported a friend, he
added. Thats what I thought
I did.
Fine has denied the allega-
tions.
Asked to comment on Boe-
heims status earlier Tuesday,
Syracuse University Chancel-
lor Nancy Cantor said:
Coach Boeheim is our
coach. ... Were very pleased
with what he said Sunday
night, and we stand by it.
After initially saying Fines
first two accusers were lying
to make money in the wake of
the Penn State University
child sex abuse scandal, Boe-
heim backed off those com-
ments.
What is most important is
that this matter be fully in-
vestigated and that anyone
with information be support-
ed to come forward so that
the truth can be found, Boe-
heim said Sunday night. I
deeply regret any statements I
made that might have inhib-
ited that from occurring or
been insensitive to victims of
abuse.
One of the accusers, Bobby
Davis, first contacted Syra-
cuse police in 2002 regarding
Fine, but there was no in-
vestigation because the statu-
te of limitations had passed.
Kevin Quinn, a Syracuse
spokesman, said police did
not inform the university of
Davis allegations then.
On Tuesday, Syracuse Po-
lice Chief Frank Fowler said
Dennis DuVal, a former SU
basketball player who was
police chief in 2002, knew of
the allegations against Fine.
Fowler said DuVal, who
played for the Orange from
1972-74, was aware of Davis
accusations in 2002 that Fine
sexually abused him.
Because Davis said the
abuse stopped 12 years earlier,
Syracuse Det. Doug Fox told
him the statute of limitations
had passed, meaning an arrest
was not possible. Fox advised
his supervisor in the abused
persons unit, but didnt file a
formal report. The detective
is still with the department,
but not in the same unit.
A phone message left with
DuVal was not immediately
returned.
On Nov. 17, Davis allega-
tions resurfaced.
Davis, now 39, told ESPN
that Fine molested him begin-
ning in 1984 and that the
sexual contact continued until
he was around 27. A ball boy
for six years, Davis said the
abuse occurred at Fines
home, at Syracuse basketball
facilities and on team road
trips, including the 1987 Final
Four. Davis stepbrother, Mike
Lang, 45, who also was a ball
boy, also told ESPN that Fine
began molesting him while he
was in the fifth or sixth grade.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. The
Jacksonville Jaguars are headed
in a completely new direction.
And Los Angeles doesnt ap-
pear to be the destination.
Team owner Wayne Weaver
fired longtime coach Jack Del
Rio on Tuesday after a 3-8 start
and agreed to sell the Jaguars to
Illinois businessman Shahid
Khan. Weaver named defensive
coordinator Mel Tucker the in-
terim coach and gave general
manager Gene Smith a three-
year contract extension, putting
him in charge of the coaching
search.
The moves marked the most
significant changes for the small-
market franchise since its incep-
tion in 1993.
Its the right thing at the right
time and for the right reasons,
Weaver said.
Forbes reported the sale to be
worth $760 million.
The 77-year-old Weaver had
been looking for an exit strate-
gy for years, wanting to find
someone to buy the team and
keep it in Jacksonville. He had
tears in his eyes several times as
he announced his impending de-
parture.
Khan, 59, believes he is the
right choice.
Waynes legacy will be last-
ing, and I will always be grateful
for Waynes trust and confidence
in my commitment to the Jag-
uars, the NFL and the people of
the Jacksonville community,
Khan said in a statement.
Born in Pakistan, Khan left
home at age16 to attend the Uni-
versity of Illinois. He graduated
in 1971, a year after he started
workingfor Flex-N-Gate Corp. in
Urbana, Ill. He purchased the
company in1980. Today, Flex-N-
Gate is a major manufacturer of
bumper systems for pickup
trucks and sport utility vehicles
built in North America.
Khan tried to purchase con-
trolling interest in the St. Louis
Rams last year.
His purchase of the Jaguars is
subject to NFL approval. League
owners will vote to ratify the
deal Dec. 14, and if it passes,
would become official Jan. 4.
The Jaguars could have a new
coach in place before then.
Theres a lot of good things
that will happen in the future,
Smith said.
Del Rios job security hadbeen
tenuous since Weaver said the
coach needed to make the play-
offs to secure a 10th season in
Jacksonville. The Jaguars were
essentially eliminated with Sun-
days 20-13 loss to AFC South-
leading Houston.
Its the nature of the beast,
tight end Marcedes Lewis said.
Change is good sometimes. Ob-
viously, its an unfortunate situa-
tion. ... This is the NFL and un-
fortunate things happen some-
times.
The timing of the move made
sensesincetheJaguars arestrug-
gling to sell tickets and host a
Monday night game against San
Diego. The team needs to sell
about 9,000 tickets to avoid a lo-
cal television blackout for a
prime-time game.
Making a coaching change
could boost sales.
Del Rio leaves with a 69-73 re-
cord, including 1-2 in two play-
offs appearances. The Jaguars
didnt win the AFC South in any
of his nine seasons.
Weaver gave Del Rio a four-
year extensionworth$21million
after Jacksonville won a playoff
game following the 2007 season.
The team stumbled to a 5-11 fin-
ish the following season, and
Weaver overhauled the roster
but decided to keep Del Rio.
Weaver considered firing Del
Rio again after last season, but
kept him partly because of the
uncertainty surrounding the
NFL lockout. Weaver refused to
give contract extensions to any
of Del Rios assistants, putting
everyone on alert that this was a
win-or-else season.
Del Rio told The Associated
Press in a text message that his
family was blessed with nine
good years in Jacksonville.

PHILADELPHIA Coaches
on the Philadelphia Eagles are
showingmore fight thanthe play-
ers.
DefensivelinecoachJimWash-
burn and offensive coordinator
Marty Mornhinweg had a heated
exchange during Sundays loss to
New England that required a fol-
low-up talk with head coach An-
dy Reid.
Things happen. Its an emo-
tional game, Reid said Tuesday.
It doesnt matter if youre coach-
es or players, things happen. So
you take care of business like
grown men. Theyve talked. Ive
talked. Theyve workedit out and
were fine here.
The Eagles (4-7) have to re-
bound quickly from a 38-20 loss
to the Patriots and get ready for
Thursday nights game at Seattle
(4-7). With Philadelphia close to
elimination from playoff conten-
tion in a season that began with
enormous expectations, most of
the attention before practice cen-
tered on the coaches fight.
A couple tempers, you know,
defensive tackle Trevor Laws
said. JimWashburns a fiery guy,
no doubt about that. Anybody
thats been following the teamall
year has probably seen himget in
multiple fights, so I dont know
why this thing is such a big deal,
to tell you the truth.
Hes Jim Washburn. Hes a fi-
ery guy with a chip on his shoul-
der, and he says whats on his
mind. Sometimes he rubs people
the wrong way, but to tell you the
truth, that attitude is spread
down the defensive line and ac-
tually improves our play, and I
think weve kind of been the fiery
heart of this team, and I think
thats from Jim Washburn.
Reid dismissed a report that
Washburn was angry over Morn-
hinwegs playcalling. The argu-
ment occurred after the Eagles
went three-and-out on three
straight passes.
Imnot goingtoget intoit, but
that wasnt the case at all, Reid
said. It wasnt an offense versus
defense thing.
Washburn is in his first season
with the Eagles after working on
Jeff Fishers staff in Tennessee.
Mornhinweg has been with Phi-
ladelphia since 2003. Neither
coach has spoken to reporters
since the incident.
Id like to tell you it was the
first time its happened, Reid
said. This isnt the first time
guys get emotional on the side-
line. Its that type of game. Can it
be a good thing? They worked it
out, thats the good thing.
Most players found it amusing.
I thinkit was blownway out of
proportion, defensive end Jason
Babin said.
Coaches spat shows
Eagles have some fight
By ROB MAADDI
AP Pro Football Writer
and the teams facility while suspended.
He did not return messages left with his
agent.
As a player, you have to appeal it,
said Detroit defensive end Kyle Vanden
Bosch, the teams union rep. Im sure
the NFLPA will be on his side to make
sure that he gets a fair hearing.
If the NFL rejects the appeal, Suh will
be watching the Lions (7-4) scramble to
keep up in the NFC wild-card race after
what the league said was his fifth viola-
tionof on-fieldrules inhis first two years
in the NFL. And everyone sawthe latest
one.
Suh lifted up his right knee and forci-
bly stepped on Evan Dietrich-Smiths
right armduring the third quarter of the
Lions 27-15 loss last Thursday in a na-
tionally-televised Thanksgiving Day
game. Before the stomp seen fromcoast
to coast, Suh shoved Dietrich-Smiths
helmet toward the turf while separating
himself from the Packers player on the
ground.
It might have hurt Suhs case when he
sounded defiant during his postgame
news conference, insisting he didnt in-
tentionally step on his opponent. After
the Lions criticized his conduct Friday,
Suhissuedanapology tohis teammates,
organization and fans not to Dietrich-
Smithas some aroundthe league said
his latest outburst proved he was the
NFLs dirtiest player.
Ill let himspeak for himself when he
gets that opportunity, but Ive had a lot
of conversations with him the last two
days andI think he is ina different spot,
Lions coach JimSchwartz said Tuesday.
I think his No. 1thing is, he didnt want
tobe a distractionfor the team. He want-
ed the team to be able to focus on the
Saints and he wants to be accountable
for his actions.
Earlier this season, the reigning NFL
Defensive Rookie of the Year requested
a meeting with Commissioner Roger
Goodell to discuss his play after he drew
several penalties and another fine. Suh
saidhehada better understandingof the
rules after that meeting four weeks ago.
On Sunday, he called Goodell to apol-
ogize but that didnt appear to help.
Lions offensive linemen Dominic
Raiola and Rob Sims refused to answer
questions about Suh after Tuesdays
practice. Vanden Bosch, though, be-
lieves everyone in the locker room sup-
ports Suh, who he spoke with on Tues-
day.
His biggest regret is the affect it had
ontheteam, VandenBoschsaid. It was
an unfortunate situation. When youre
on the field, a lot of things happen when
youre playing with so much emotion in
suchaphysical game. Its difficult tolook
at the grand scheme of things when
youre in the heat of the moment.
Theres no question hed like to have
the moment back, but hes dealing with
the repercussions of it and we are as
well.
The Lions will have a roster exception
during Suhs suspension, meaning they
can sign someone to replace him or bol-
ster some other spot on the team.
Suh has already been fined three
times for roughing up quarterbacks and
another time for unsportsmanlike con-
duct. He leads the league with nine per-
sonal fouls since 2010, according to
STATS LLC two more times than
teammate Cliff Avril and three more
than Philadelphias Jason Babin, San
Franciscos Dashon Goldson and Den-
vers D.J. Williams.
Suh grabbed Cincinnati quarterback
Andy Dalton and threw him to the turf
after he hadgottenridof the ball ina pre-
season game this year. He was docked
twice last year for shoving Chicagos Jay
Cutler high in the back and for twisting
Clevelands Jake Delhommes face mask
and slamming him to the ground. He al-
so was fined$5,000 during Week 9 inthe
2010 season for unsportsmanlike con-
duct.
He has been able to absorb the fines,
making $40 million guaranteed with a
chance to get paid as much as $68 mil-
lioninhis five-year contract he signedaf-
ter Detroit drafted the former Nebraska
star No. 2 overall in 2010.
Suhs reputation, though, has just tak-
en a big hit and it will cost his teamthat
is clinging to hopes of earning a spot in
the playoffs for the first time since the
1999 season.
Obviously, it hurts to lose any player
for two games much less a player like
Ndamukong Suh, Schwartz said. But
theres accountability for our actions
and thats a situation where something
happened after the whistle. We want to
beas toughandphysical andplayas hard
as we can between the snap and whistle,
but anything that happens after that we
put our team in a bad position and we
have to pay the consequences for and
thats the position were in right now.
DIRTY

We cant have that and we
shouldnt be having that at this
time of year, Coughlin said. We
should be playing much better,
much more consistently. We
should know who we are. We
should be performing much bet-
ter. Thats the answer I would
give. A win would help a lot, no
question, and the confidence
(would come) and the questions
would go away.
Nevertheless, we have to play
better. We have to earn that
right.
Coughlin and the coaching
staff have pulled highlights from
theteamssixwinstoshowtheGi-
ants how well they can play and
reminded themthat heading into
this season they were the NFLs
top road teamsince 2007.
Still, Coughlin said the losing
streak is as frustrating as it is dis-
appointing.
I am struggling to try to an-
swer all the questions in our own
minds, Coughlin said. We had
two outstanding road wins and
felt good about our team at that
point. Weve had a couple of set-
backs, three setbacks, very dis-
turbing. The first two being a
touchdown difference and last
night. So, we have tofinda wayto
help our players be the best they
can be. We understand, the qual-
ity of the competition, everybody
does.
But we are a better football
teamthan we played last night.
The Saints gained 577 yards in
total offense against the Giants,
the second highest total given up
by NewYork in franchise history.
Coughlin noted his defenders
didnt cover well despite practic-
ing well and being prepared for
everything they saw.
The65-year-oldcoachsaidheis
not focusing on what seems to be
another collapse in the seasons
secondhalf. NewYorkmissedthe
playoffsthepast twoseasonswith
dismal performances after eight
games and is now0-3 this year af-
ter the midway point. But he is
more interested in telling his
teamwhat went wrong.
There are reasons why you
winandwhyyoudont,Coughlin
said. I amtrying to get players in
better position to win.
And now, here come the puni-
shing Packers, a team that beat
the Giants, 45-17, late last season
in Green Bay, in what almost was
a playoff game for both.
Were just as interested in tak-
ing our best shot as anybody who
gets a chance to play against a ve-
ry good football team that was
world champion a year ago,
Coughlin said. We are going to
prepare as hard as we can and we
are going to work as hard as we
can.
We do realize the margin is
thin and we are going to have to
play very well in order to accom-
plish this.
And we think we can.

Umenyiora (ankle) and rookie
middle linebacker Mark Herzlich

ed at the Hospital for Special Sur-

NEWYORKWith hundreds
of boxes of food sitting behind
them ready to be distributed to
Brooklyn families, LeBron James
and his famous friends were de-
termined to stay on message.
More than two dozen media
memberscrowdedaroundJames,
DwyaneWade, CarmeloAnthony
and Chris Paul on Tuesday, and
question after question came
about the NBA with a tentative
deal in place to end the lockout.
Will Paul leave NewOrleans to
join Anthony with the Knicks?
Arethenewrulesdesignedtopre-
vent stars from abandoning
smaller-market teams as James
and Anthony did?
As far as theins andouts about
the deal, we wont discuss today,
James said. Were going to dis-
cuss about howexcitedI am, how
excited we are, about the game of
basketball being back and about
all the people who have been out
of jobs and the fans who have
been out of watching basketball
for the 140-plus days from the
lockout. Its a great moment for
all of us.
Paul canbecomeafreeagent af-
ter this season, and the new
agreement would still allow the
Hornets to send him to another
team through a sign-and-trade
deal to get something in return if
it appears hes determined to
leave. New York has been his
long-rumored destination.
Paul insisted my heart is in
NewOrleans.
Ah, man, I have no idea about
that different type stuff, he said.
I think right now the thing Im
most focused on is getting all
these boxes out of my house in
NorthCarolinaandgettingevery-
thing shipped back to New Or-
leanssoI canget readyfor thesea-
son.
Paul was in New York at a
communitycenterinBrooklyn
for this day to help distribute 800
meals to local families through
Anthonys foundation in conjunc-
tion with Feed the Children and
Boys &Girls Clubs of America.
These guys are not even from
around here, they dont even play
here, but theycamebacktosome-
body elses community to give
back, and I think that should be
thetopicof discussiontoday, An-
thony said.
No such luck.
Anthony was asked about the
scandal swirling at his alma ma-
ter, Syracuse, where longtime as-
sistant Bernie Fine was firedafter
molestation allegations and
coach Jim Boeheim has heard
calls to resign.
My heart goes out to the fam-
ilies. I have no comment about
the Fine situationor the Boeheim
situation, Anthony said. Thats
a sensitive situation, a sensitive
topic right now that I dont even
want to go into.
NBA players and owners reac-
heda handshake agreement early
Saturday, and the four stars said
Tuesday they were hopeful their
counterparts would vote to ap-
prove the deal. Games would
start on Christmas, including
Bostonat NewYorkandMiami at
Dallas.
Somebody noted that James
and Wades Heat had longer than
normal to stewafter losing in the
finals. Wade agreed, though Paul
interjected: Not as long as us.
Indeed, the Hornets and Knicks
each lost in the first round of the
playoffs.
Were excited about another
opportunity, Wade said of his
Miami team that so polarized
fans after James and Chris Bosh
joined him there. Hopefully ev-
eryone stays healthy and we just
get an opportunity to come out
everynight andput our best team
onthecourt andseewhat weget.

LeBron excited over basketball, wont talk details
By RACHEL COHEN
AP Sports Writer
INDIANAPOLIS Gordon
Hayward and Shelvin Mack are
great friends, but theyve seen
enough of each other.
The two ex-Butler stars prac-
ticed together at Hinkle Field-
house on Tuesday morning, put-
tinginsomeof their final workbe-
fore the end of the NBA lockout.
Though they have enjoyed work-
ing out on their old home court,
they are ready for meaningful
games. The season is expected to
start on Christmas Day.
Im just excited to get back to
work, Hayward said. Especially
with high schoolers and college
guys playing basketball, you
watchit onTV, it makes youwant
to play.
HaywardandMackhelpedBut-
ler reach the national title game
in 2010, and Mack helped the
Bulldogs reach the national final
again in 2011. Hayward averaged
5.4 points per game and shot 47
percent from 3-point range as a
rookie for the Utah Jazz last sea-
son. Mack, a point guard, was a
second-round draft pick by the
Washington Wizards in 2011.
BothplayedintheIndyPro-Am
league over the summer. Mackal-
so spent some time practicing
with friends in his home state of
Kentucky. For the past several
weeks, Hayward and Mack have
been partners.
We play a lot of one-on-one
games, Mack said. It helps my
game playing against someone
bigger, andit helps his game play-
ing against someone smaller.
Were always pushing each oth-
er.
Mack left school early to enter
the draft and is happy hell have a
chance to make the most of that
decision.
Im blessed, Mack said. Im
gladI was able toget throughthis
lockout without an injury. This is
an opportunity, especially with
me not having a contract already.
Im just really excited to get out
there.

The merger of Wilkes-Barre-based
Penn Millers Holding Corp. into Swiss-
based ACE American Insurance Co.
was approved by shareholders on Tues-
day. Penn Millers said in a release that
71.1 percent of outstanding shares were
voted at a special meeting and 99.8

TRENTON, N.J. Lipitor is
so valuable that its maker, Pfizer
Inc., is practically paying people
to keep taking the blockbuster
cholesterol medicine after gener-
ic competition hits the U.S. mar-
ket this week.
Pfizer has devised discounts
and incentives for patients, in-
surers and companies that proc-
ess prescriptions that will, at
least for the next six months,
make the brand name drug about
as cheap as or cheaper than the
generics. Pfizer also has spent
tens of millions of dollars this
year on marketing to keep pa-
tients on Lipitor, which loses pat-
ent protection today. Normally
whena drugs patent ends, gener-
ic rivals grab nearly all its market
share in a year or less, and the
original maker quietly shifts fo-
cus to its newer products.
Pfizer, the worlds biggest
drugmaker, is not giving up that
easily on the best-selling drug in
history. Lipitor had peak sales of
about $13 billion and still brings
in nearly $11 billion a year, about
a sixth of Pfizers revenue. With
no new blockbusters to fill that
hole, the company is making an
unprecedented push to hang on-
to Lipitor revenue as long as pos-
sible.
Pfizers strategy is cunning and
could become the new norm, as
most other drugmakers also face
generic competition to top-sell-
ing medicines and havent been
coming up with replacements.
While generic medicines work
the same as brand drugs for near-
ly everyone, some patients prefer
the brand.
Pfizer also is continuing assist-
ance programs that subsidize un-
insured patients wanting Lipitor,
which costs about $115 to $160 a
month, depending on dosage.
Generic Lipitor, called atorvasta-
tin, should cost 30 percent to 50
percent less.

Atorvastatin calciumtablets, or
generic Lipitor, is being sold un-
der a deal with Pfizer. Cholesterol
blockbuster Lipitor is so valuable
to its maker that Pfizer Inc. is
practically paying people to keep
taking it after generic rivals hit
the U.S. market this week.
WASHINGTON Residential real es-
tate prices dropped more than forecast in
the year ended September, showing the
industry at the center of the 2008 finan-
cial crisis continues to struggle.
TheS&P/Case-Shiller indexof proper-
ty values in 20 cities dropped 3.6 percent
in September from the same month in
2010 after decreasing 3.8 percent in the
year ended August, the group said Tues-
day in New York.
Unemployment at 9 percent, tight
lending standards and a looming supply
of distressed properties that may drag
down home values further will probably
keep hurting housing demand into next
year. Sliding prices have left some people
with loans that exceed the value of their
properties, preventing them from boost-
ing spending on other goods and servic-
es.
We continue to expect home prices to
fall through mid-2012, said Anika Khan,
an economist at Wells Fargo Securities in
Charlotte, N.C. We still have an oversup-
ply of existing homes, and distressed
transactions continue to drive down
home prices.
The year-over-year decline in Septem-
ber was the smallest in seven months.
Atlanta, Las Vegas and Phoenix posted
newpost peak lows in September, the re-
port showed.
Eighteen of the 20 cities in the index
showed a year-over- year decline, led by a
9.8 percent drop in Atlanta.
Detroit showed the biggest year-over-
year increase, with prices rising 3.7 per-
cent in the 12 months to September.
Property values in Washington were up1
percent.
Nationally, prices decreased 3.9 per-
cent in the third quarter from the same
time in 2010.

DALLAS, TexasTheparent company
of American Airlines filed for bankruptcy
protection Tuesday, seeking relief from
crushing debt caused by high fuel prices
andexpensivelabor contracts that its com-
petitors shed years ago.
ThecompanyalsoreplaceditsCEO, and
the incoming leader said American would
probablycut its flight schedulemodestly
while it reorganizes. American said its fre-
quent-flier programwould be unaffected.
Americanhaddiscontinueddailyflights
to Chicago from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
International on Nov. 17.
AMRCorp., whichowns American, was
oneof thelast majorU.S. airlinecompanies
that hadavoidedbankruptcy. Competitors
used bankruptcy to shed costly labor con-
tracts, unburden themselves of debt and
start making money again. Delta was the
last major airlinetofilefor bankruptcypro-
tection, in 2005.
American the nations third-largest
airline andproudof an80-year history that
reachesbacktothedawnof passengertrav-
el was stuck with higher costs and had
to match its competitors lower fares or
lose passengers.
American was the biggest airline in the
world in 2008, but has been surpassed by
United, which combined with Continen-
tal, and Delta, which bought Northwest.
In announcing the bankruptcy filing,
AMR said that Gerard Arpey, a veteran of
the company for almost three decades and
CEO since 2003, had stepped down and
was replaced by Thomas W. Horton, the
company president.
With reductions to the flight schedule,
Hortonsaidtherewouldprobablybecorre-
sponding job cuts.
For travelers, American said it would
continue to operate flights, honor tickets
and take reservations.

Todays weather
will be a wake-up
call to remind
us that the
calendar is
correct, and that
the weather
once again is
more appropri-
ate for this time
of year. In fact,
today will be
nearly 20
degrees colder
than the past 2
days. Despite
this change,
November will
likely still end up
being the 4th
warmest on
record. There is
no evidence to
suggest we will
soon have to pay
for all the warm
weather this
month, at least
not in the near
term. Perhaps
winter will be
delayed this
year. But since
December has a
stormy reputa-
tion, winter may
be closer than
you think.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A few showers will fall over northern New England as low pressure moves
away to the north. A few rain and snow showers will fall from West Virginia to western New York and
through far eastern Ohio. Snow will fall to the north and west of a storm system from the northern
Plains into the northern Rockies. A few snow showers will be possible over the Cascades.

TASTE S E C T I O N C
THE TIMES LEADER WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2011
timesleader.com
SO LAST WEEK
everyone consumed
the beloved bird, the
turkey.
Id like to let yall
know that I helped
one move from Brad-
ford County into my
freezer the other week, before I crossed
the Mason-Dixon line to find seawater
in the air, dolphins swimming, and
sand beneath my feet.
I know how much turkey my father
can consume but Im not sure about
every one of you. Take a break from the
turkey salad, turkey casserole, or tur-
key leftovers whatever which way.
This seafood stew is easy, simple,
and filling. The flavor is going to come
from cooking the shellfish as well as
the sausage you put into it. Barley pilaf
is going to accompany it and the mush-
rooms you choose to add to it will
boost its flavor. The size of the scal-
lops, 10-20, means it takes 10 to 20 of
them to make up one pound.
SEAFOOD STEW
For the stew:
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and de-
veined
20 mussels
8 scallops, 10-20s
24 littleneck clams
1 pound sausage
2 leeks, cleaned and sliced
1 bulb fennel, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 stalks celery, cleaned and sliced
1 quart chicken stock
Finishing Butter:
2 tablespoons chopped basil
2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1
2 pound unsalted butter
Dont let anything in this recipe scare
you. When you purchase the seafood, buy
frozen shrimp. The ones you see in the
counter will most likely be refreshed any-
way. The scallops should be fresh and
smell sweet and a tiny bit salty. Any strong
odors coming from them, just pass them
by.
The mussels and clams should be tightly
closed.
The sausage you choose to use is up to
you. I recommend either an Andouille
sausage that has some spice or anything
smoked to add some flavor.
The vegetables are all rough-chopped.
Just hack away and they will be perfect.
Get the chicken stock into a large pot
and bring to a boil.
Look below to the instructions to begin
the barley pilaf and get that going. Once it
boils, add the clams and mussels and
cover. It will take 3-7 minutes for them to
open. Once they do, remove and add the
scallops and shrimp. Dont let them boil.
Cook them until 95 percent done, about
4-6 minutes, and remove. Add the vegeta-
bles and sausage and let them simmer
15-20 minutes or until tender. Then add the
butter and herb mixture plus the seafood
back into the pot to reheat.
Barley Pilaf
4 tablespoons butter
1
4 cup diced white onion
1 pound mushrooms, preferably shii-
take, chopped
1
4 cup garlic
1 pint stock
2 and
1
2 to 3 cups barley
Heat large pot and add the butter. Saut
garlic, onion and mushrooms for a few
minutes. Add stock and barley. Season
with salt and black pepper and cook 16-20
minutes. Barley is a strange creature. It will
keep plumping with liquid. I like mine with
a tiny bit of a bite, but cook it as you see
fit. If it gets dry before its cooked, just add
a cup of water at a time until you are
satisfied.
To serve: Place a scoop of barley into a
bowl and divide the seafood into appropri-
ate servings. Ladle the vegetables and
broth into the bowl and enjoy.

L
ife is sweet, especially considering a batch of home-baked cookies can still
make someones day. Butter and sugar prices may give some bakers pause
this holidayseason. Dont let them. Weve scouredthroughthe newbatchof
cookbooks and baked up a selection of cookies with an eye on tight food budgets.
One recipe requires no butter, another uses shortening, one is light on sugar, and
some dont skimp at all.
By SHARON GHAG McClatchy Newspapers
Makes about 100
This recipe, also from One Sweet Cookie, is
also from Andre Soltner.
Ingredients
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 ounces candied orange peel (option-
al)
8 ounces ground almonds
Grated zest of 1 lemon
3 small eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work sur-
face
1 egg beaten with a little cold water
Instructions:
Cream butter and sugar. Add cinnamon, candied orange
peel, almonds, lemon zest and three eggs and mix
thoroughly. Add flour and knead until you have a
smooth paste. Enclose dough in plastic wrap
and let rest in refrigerator overnight, or up
to two to three days.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Butter a
pastry sheet and dust it with flour.
On a floured work surface, roll out the
dough to a 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with
cookie cutters. Combine scraps and roll and cut
again. Arrange cutouts on the pastry sheet.
Brush them with beaten egg. Bake until they
are golden brown, about 10 minutes.

PETITS FOURS
A LANISE
Makes about 100 cookies
This recipe, from One Sweet
Cookie: Celebrated Chefs Share
Favorite Recipes, by Tracey Zabar
(Rizzoli, $30), is from Andre Soltn-
er of the French Culinary Institute.
When you bake these cookies, they
rise a little and look like mush-
rooms.
Ingredients:
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon whole anise seeds
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted,
plus more for flouring pastry
sheets
Unsalted butter for pastry sheets
Instructions:
Butter pastry sheets and dust
with flour.
Put sugar and eggs in the bowl
of an electric mixer. Mix for about
10 minutes on high speed, until a
ribbon forms when a whisk is
inserted and lifted from the mix-
ture. Add the anise seeds and beat
for a few minutes more, until the
seeds are blended. By hand, with a
spatula, gently fold in the flour. Put
this dough in a pastry bag fitted
with a 1/2-inch tip. Pipe dough onto
the pastry sheets, forming circles
3/4-inch across. Let them dry
overnight, or at least four hours, at
room temperature. Preheat oven to
275 degrees. Bake cookies for
about 10 minutes.
SWEET
SURPLUS-OF-CHOCOLATE
COOKIES
Makes about 21 cookies
This recipe is from Baking
Style, by Lisa Yockelson (Wiley,
$45).
Ingredients:
2/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon unsifted
bleached all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
11 tablespoons (1 stick plus 3
tablespoons) unsalted butter
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 large egg yolks
21/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons quick-
cooking (not instant) rolled
oats
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate
chips
2/3 cup firmly packed sweetened
coconut
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Line two cookie sheets with parch-
ment. Sift flour, baking soda and
salt together.
Cream the butter in the large
bowl of a free-standing mixer on
low speed for three to four min-
utes. Add the brown sugar and
beat on moderate speed for one
minute. Add the granulated sugar
and beat one minute longer. Add
the egg yolks, beating on low
speed until just incorporated. Blend
in the vanilla extract and then the
sifted ingredients until flour parti-
cles are just absorbed. Scrape
down the sides of the bowl with a
rubber spatula and then blend in
the rolled oats, then the chocolate
chips and coconut. Place 3 tables-
poon mounds of dough about 3
inches apart on prepared baking
pans. Bake 16 to 17 minutes, or until
just set. The edges off the cookies
will be just a bit darker than the
centers.

dle attachment, beat the short-
ening and brown sugar on medium

about one minute. Form the dough

plastic. Chill for at least two hours.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Line sheets with parchment paper.
Put granulated sugar in a small
bowl. Roll a tablespoonful of dough
into a ball the size of a large wal-
