vice LLC. Back taxes, mortgages

properties are forgiven.
There are some really good
deals out there, Rodgers said.
Wed like to see more people
come out and bid.
His company prepared a list of

erties in an effort to showcase
potential steals.
That list includes three restau-
rant properties that once housed

It may be the end for a well-
known sports bar that became in-
volved in an illegal gambling in-
vestigation.
The Pennsylvania Liquor Con-
trol Board elected not to renew
the liquor license for Pattes
Sports Bar, which had been oper-
ating on a temporary license for
about a year.
Stacey Wita-
lec, LCB spo-
keswoman, said
thedecisionnot
to renew the li-
censewasmade
by the board on
Wednesday.
Pat Patte, 72,
whois servinga
three-year federal probation sen-
tenceonagamblingcharge, could
not be reachedfor comment.
His lawyer, Michael Butera,
said he had not heard about the
boards decision.
Butera said a hearing was held
beforeaLCBhearingexaminer in
Scranton in May to renewPattes
liquor license.
Witalec said Patte can appeal
the boards decision and that
couldallowhimto remainopen.
Patte, Mark G. Fino, 53, an em-
ployee at the sports bar, and
Christopher Marion were
charged by federal authorities in
February 2010 with operating an

A city cab company owners
announcement he will restrict
service in Wilkes-Barre after
three drivers were robbed at
gunpoint is an act thats in vio-
lation of state law, a state Public
Utility Commission spokesman
said Wednesday.
PUC spokeswoman Denise
McCracken added Burgit City
Taxi could be fined for refusing
fares.
Taxi company owner Robbie
Burgit said Tuesday that as a
result of the robberies, he decid-
ed to eliminate service to cer-
tain sections of Wilkes-Barre.
He said pickups and drop-offs at
Sherman Hills Apartments,
South Hancock Street, South
Welles Street and a handful of
other areas will have either re-
duced or restricted service or
no service at all.
Certain trouble spots will be
avoided, especially at night,
Burgit said Tuesday while
standing outside his business on
South Main
Street, a few
hours after one
of his drivers
was struck in
the face with a
pistol. Sorry
to say, thats
the way it has
to go. South Hancock, South
Welles streets, the bad areas, no
fares are getting picked up or
dropped off there.
But McCracken said Burgit
cannot make such a change
without approval from the PUC.
And such permission would al-
most certainly be denied, she
said.
To discontinue service to
those areas, the owner would
have to file an amendment to
discontinue that territory stat-
ing that he only serves a certain
area. As part of this process, he
would be susceptible to protests
from the public and hearings
would have to be held,
McCracken said.
She said a territory would
typically be an entire municipal-
ity, not just a few streets or an
entire neighborhood.
She said Burgits license is to

Shaun Manning, 31, of

Tuesday night on charges he
burglarized Peters Deli at 498
N. Main St. The person who
responded to an alarm at the
store identified Manning from
surveillance video. Police
located him near the store
and took him into custody. He
was charged with burglary,
criminal trespass and criminal
mischief.
Charges are pending
against Kenneth Daniely, 29,
of Reese Street. after his
mother-in-law Roberta Stritz-
inger, 62, of 81 Jones St.,
reported he slashed tires on
her 1996 Chevrolet Lumina
parked at her residence on

outside his residence.
Copper pipes were re-
ported stolen from a resi-
dence at 212 Madison St. on
Tuesday night. The property

POLICE BLOTTER
SHICKSHINNY A resident
of a senior high-rise told Bor-
ough Council on Tuesday night
that he has filed a criminal com-
plaint before District Justice
John Hasay against the borough
police after he was arrested on
July 25 for alleged public drunk-
enness and harassment.
James Sternick, 60, of 19 W.
Vine St., alleged he was hand-
cuffed illegally and his drivers
license was stolen.
A police report, however,
states that Sternick was intoxi-
cated and yelling at persons in a
public park adjacent to the
apartment complex. The report
states police responded to pleas
from people at the park who
stated an older man was yelling
and pointing a laser beam at
them.
Police said Sternick used ob-
scenities, smelled of alcohol and
initially refused to provide iden-
tification to them when they ap-
proached him at his apartment.
He was arrested and criminal
complaints were filed against
him.
Since a criminal complaint
had also been filed by Sternick,
council, at the advice of Solicitor
Jeffery Malak, declined to make
any comment on Sternicks alle-
gations.
Council on a 3-1 vote, with on-
ly four members present, gave fi-
nal approval to a brake retarder
ordinance. Francene Tearpock-
Martini cast the dissenting vote
based on a report from state
Transportation Department
that stated the grade on Butler
Street is too steep to ban brake
retarders. Otherwise, the ordi-
nance is in effect for the major
arteries including Main Street
(Route 11) and Union Street
(Route 239).
Martini said that because the
ordinance wasnt universal
throughout the borough, she
was opposed to it.
During a work session before
the public meeting, council
heard a presentation from Rick
Harmon of Bloomsburg who has
applied for the code enforce-
ment position. Harmon outlined
his credentials, including doing
work in the Hazleton area. Mar-
tini questioned why the position
was advertised when the bor-
ough already has a code officer.
Are we going to have two offi-
cers? she asked.
Councilman Mike Steeber re-
plied, No. The current person
doesnt fit into our plans.
Jake Baluta commented that
the sesquicentennial will be
marked with a giant parade on
Saturday, starting at 3 p.m.. He
said it will include bands, mili-
tary personnel, floats, politic-
ians, Scouts and firefighters
from 46 companies. The parade
will form in the area of Shick-
shinny-Mocanaqua Bridge and
will proceed north on Main
Street.
Traffic will be detoured off
Main Street (Route 11) during
the parade.

ROSS TWP. Two contribut-
ing factors almost 7,000 hours
of operation and tough laws for
emissions control on heavy
equipment will cause supervi-
sors to seek estimates to replace
their current backhoe.
On Tuesday night, supervisors
agreed to seek prices through the
state run COSTARS program to
replace their 2001 John Deere
backhoe.
COSTARSis a cooperative pur-
chasing program through the
state to offer competitive pricing
for equipment to local municipal-
ities.
Due to the complexity of the
emission laws, it is not possible
to buy parts to install on the pre-
sent machine.
You cannot update the en-
gine, he said.
Supervisor Dave Williams said
the backhoe is used almost every
day. He said the almost 7,000
hours of operation logged for the
machine is high. Heavy-equip-
ment usage is measured in hours
versus mileage.
In other business, supervisors
ordered four new radio commu-
nication units at a cost of $3,495.
This update was required be-
cause the Federal Communica-
tion Commission requires all ra-
dio systems to operate on nar-
row-band frequencies versus
wide-band frequencies, effective
by October.

ASHLEY Borough council met
Wednesday night in a special meet-
ing to bring on three new, part-time
police officers, but the lack of paper-
work to hire them scuttled the plans.
Council will have to delay the
swearing in of the officers that was
set for its regularly scheduled meet-
ing next Tuesday.
It also will have to hold off on
hiring a part-time police chief be-
cause there may be additional candi-
dates besides the one who has ap-
plied for the position.
The borough has been struggling
to provide police protection around
the clock. Finances forced a cutback
in the force and the firing last March
of former Chief Dave Cerski after his
pregnant ex-girlfriend obtained a pro-
tection from abuse order against him
further reduced the force to one full-
time officer, Sgt. Joe McGlynn. The
state police cover the borough when
there is no one else available.
The meeting was called with the
intent to allow council more time to
devote to the agenda for next week,
explained council chairman Jim Mul-
lin.

Sugarloaf resident Char-
maine Maynard said she was
shocked to learn of charges
against her son, Anthony J.
Klatch II, who last week was
indicted by an Alabama grand
jury for allegedly bilking inves-
tors of $2.3 million. But she in-
sisted that her sons actions
were related to mental illness.
Bipolar disorder has run in
her family for generations,
Maynard said. And while she
recognized that her son began
showing symptoms three years
ago, he rebuffed her pleas to
seek help, she said on Tuesday
in a phone interview from her
sons Florida condo.
Maynard flew to Tampa on
Monday after learning her son
was arrested there last week
and committed to temporary
detention after a grand jury in
Alabama indicted him on July
28.
The indictment alleges
Klatch, 27, conspired with
Timothy Sullivan and others
in committing securities
fraud.
It alleges that between April
and October 2009, eight inves-
tors sank a bit more than $2.3
million into a hedge fund that
Klatch and Sullivan created.
Although investors were told
that all of their investments
had been lost in a single trade,
Klatch and Sullivan had invest-
ed only about 60 percent of the
money.
The indictment calls for
Klatch to forfeit, upon convic-
tion, $2.3 million in cash, two
luxury Land Rover vehicles, a
Ferrari convertible, an Aston
Martin roadster, a BMW M3
convertible, a townhouse in
Center Valley, Pa., and a Sea
Ray boat, all purchased be-
tween 2007 and 2011.
Maynard, a former Luzerne
County Government Study
commissioner and director of
Citizens Opposing Political
Suppression, a grass-roots an-
ti-corruption organization,
said she believes delusions of
grandeur associated with bipo-
lar disorder led her son to take
actions to support a lifestyle of
a millionaire.
According to WebMD.com,
bipolar disorder, formerly
called manic depression, is a
mental illness that causes peo-
ple to have severe high and
low moods.
Among the symptoms of bi-
polar mania are tendencies to
make grand and unattainable
plans; to show poor judgment,
such as deciding to quit a job;
and to act impulsively or do
reckless things, such as go on
shopping sprees, drive reck-
lessly, (or) get into foolish
business ventures, the web-
site states.
According to court docu-
ments, Maynard testified on
her sons behalf at his deten-
tion hearing on Tuesday. A fed-
eral judge denied the prosecu-
tions motion to detain Klatch
$2.3 million fraud scheme suspect affected by bipolar disorder, mother says
Anthony J. Klatch II is
charged with committing
securities fraud in Florida.

President Obamas Medicare Plan:
**
Balance the Budget
on the Backs of Seniors!
Medicare prescription drug premiums for millions of
seniors would increase by up to 40%
Annual costs for almost 18 million seniors
would increase by as much as $208 per year
Total out-of-pocket drug costs for seniors and other
Medicare beneficiaries would increase by up to
$3.7 billion per year
For seniors who depend on Medicare, the impact of
Obamas price controls would be devastating.
President Obama is trying
to radically change the
Medicare Prescription Drug
Program with Medicaid-
style price controls.
He has joined a bi-partisan effort to block Obama from balancing the budget on
the backs of seniors with these drastic changes to Medicare, writing Obama to
oppose undermining access to needed treatments for beneficiaries.**

regulations for handicap accessi-
bility ramps at the intersection
which has changed the design,
May said.
He said that change also di-
rectly caused a change in the
specifications for the signals. For
example, if there is an ADAramp
at an intersection, the light must
meet different specifications that
include length of signal, height
of buttons.
So as a result of these things,
the design had to be redone,
which has been the major cause
of the delays, May said.
He said the contractor is fin-
ished with the road, but the sig-
nals, approaches and handicap
ramps are still being worked on,
and PennDOT cannot open the
road until all work is completed.
It was just part of the process
in that the contractor had to re-
design it and then resubmit the
new designs to the boroughs for
approval, May said. This took
some time, but it was not at all
due to any fault of either munici-
pality.
State Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D-
Kingston, has been following the
project and met with PennDOT
and borough officials back in
February.
This project has been very dif-
ficult, Mundy said. I suspect
because it was design/build it
took longer.
Mundy said PennDOT had to
repair the Luzerne Shopping
Center driveways because they
were taking a beating fromvehi-
cles using the shopping center to
avoid the detour.
I have had many inquiries
from motorists who have been
inconvenienced by this and I
have perpetually asked Penn-
DOT to expedite as best they
could, she said. This project
has been difficult for everyone.
We are all frustrated and I sin-
cerely hope all will be done in
October. I will go ballistic if it
isnt.
Keller said Luzerne Borough
Council approved documents
last month to allow the start of
the electrical work for the signal-
ization system. The Evans Street
Bridge is less than 100 feet
long, Keller said, and he noted
the Eighth Street Bridge in
Wyoming a much larger span
was completed in much less
time. Work on the Eighth Street
span began in the fall of 2008, ac-
cording to newspaper archives,
and it opened earlier this year.
May said the final cost for the
Evans Street Bridge project is
$1,749,604; the original contract
was $1,651,364.
We are hoping that the con-
tractor (FabCor Inc.) will have
the project done by this Octo-
ber, May said.

organizer Deb Chapman said.
The ultimate goal for the girls
is to program their robots to
dance to their favorite song by
Friday. But before that, Dr. Peg-
gy Sullivan, a visiting assistant
professor of math at Wilkes, had
toteachthegirls howtoprogram
their robots to trace a square tile
on the floor, avoid obstacles and
find dark spots on the floor.
This is the third year the sum-
mer camp was held to inspire a
better understanding of the sci-
ences, Chapman said.
In middle school, girls are
even with boys in areas of math
andscience, shesaid. After this
point, it changes. We do not
knowwhy.
She hopes the girls will leave
with a better understanding of
investigative and critical think-
ing.
Indeep conversation, Ortiz, of
Hanover Township, Gesek, of
Plymouth, and Sminkey, of Lau-
rel Run, tried to figure out the
right number sequence for a
right-angle turn.
Sminkey said the new robots
and computer program they
were using were easier than
what her sister had last year.
Ortiz, who also participated
last year, agreed. I have had a
fun time doing this, she said.
The little square gray robot
withblackrubber tires sat onthe
table waiting for the girls to plug
it into a USB cable to be down-
loaded with the new program.
After the download, they placed
the robot on the floor, carefully
liningit upwiththeedgeof atile,
and pushed go.
Across the square the robot
went, turning left, but not quite
at the right angle -- so the girls
went back to their computer to
determine why.
Sullivan said she hopes the
girls walk away with an under-
standingof abasiccomputerpro-
gramming.
Many of them know how to
use the computer, but this teach-
es them how break something
down and put it in basic instruc-
tions for a computer program,
she said.
Programming a robot was just
part of what the girls learned.
They also made hand sanitizer
and learned to solve a crime us-
ing forensic science.

Child porn network busted
Seventy-two people have been

that prosecutors say used an online
bulletin board called Dreamboard to
trade tens of thousands of images and
videos of sexually abused children.
Attorney General Eric Holder and
Homeland Security Secretary Janet
Napolitano said Wednesday a 20-month
law enforcement effort called Oper-
ation Delego targeted more than 600
Dreamboard members around the
world for allegedly participating in the
private Internet club.
Numerous participants in the net-

and under, produced images and video
and then shared it with other club
members, according to court papers.

Rumsfeld can be sued
A federal judge says former Defense
Secretary Donald Rumsfeld can be
sued personally for damages by a for-
mer U.S. military contractor who says
he was tortured during nine months in
prison in Iraq.
The court kept the identity of the
contractor an Army veteran in his
50s confidential for fear of retal-
iation. His attorneys say he was repeat-
edly abused during detention at Camp
Cropper, a U.S. military facility in
Baghdad, after he worked as a trans-
lator for Marines.
His lawsuit says Rumsfeld violated
his constitutional rights by personally
approving torturous interrogation
techniques on a case-by-case basis and
controlling his detention without ac-
cess to courts.

CAIRO An ailing, 83-year-old Hos-
ni Mubarak, lying ashen-faced on a hos-
pital bed inside a metal defendants cage
with his two sons standing protectively
besidehiminwhiteprisonuniforms, de-
nied charges of corruption and complic-
ity inthe killingof protesters at the start
of his historic trial on Wednesday.
The spectacle, aired live on state tele-
vision, was a stunning moment for
Egyptians. Many savored the humili-
ationof themanwhoruledwithunques-
tionable power for 29 years, during
whichopponents weretortured, corrup-
tion was rife, poverty spread and politi-
cal life was stifled.
After skepticismthat Egypts military
rulers would allowone of their own a
former head of the air force to be
prosecuted in front of the world, the
scene went a long way to satisfy one of
the key demands that has united protes-
ters since Feb. 11, whenMubarakfell fol-
lowing an 18-day uprising.
This is the dream of Egyptians, to
see him like this, humiliated like he hu-
miliatedthemfor the last 30years, said
Ghada Ali, the mother of a 17-year old
girl in the city of Alexandria who was
shot to death during the crackdown.
In the courtroom, a prosecutor read
the charges against Mubarak that he
was an accomplice along with his then-
interior minister in the intentional and
premeditated murder of peaceful pro-
testers and that he and his sons re-
ceived gifts from a prominent business-
man in return for guaranteeing him a
lowered price in a land deal with the
state.
Yes, I am here, Mubarak said from
his bed, raising his hand slightly when
the judge asked him to identify himself
and enter a plea. I deny all these accu-
sations completely, he said into a mi-
crophone, wagging his finger. His sons
also pleaded not guilty.
With Mubarek in the cage were his
nine co-defendants, including his two
sons one-time heir apparent Gamal
and wealthy businessman Alaa his
former interior minister Habib el-Adly,
and six top former police officials.
The judge adjourned Mubarak and
his sons trial until Aug. 15 and ordered
Mubarak held at a military hospital out-
side Cairo, and that an oncologist be
among the doctors monitoring him.
That was one of the strongest indica-
tions yet that Mubarak, 83, has cancer.

NEW YORK A computer security
firm says cybercriminals have spent at
least the past five years targeting more
than 70 government entities, nonprofit
groups and corporations around the
world to steal troves of data.
McAfee Inc. said in a report Wednes-
day that the attacks have targeteda broad
range of organizations, including the
United Nations, the International Olym-
pic Committee and companies mostly in
the United States.
McAfee didnot say who may be behind
the attacks but says the culprit is likely a
nation state.
The report is short on specifics, as the
security firm is not naming most of the
victims, nor is it statingexactlywhat data
ports author.
The key to these intrusions, he said, is
that the perpetrator is motivated by a
massive hunger for secrets and intellec-
tual property.
U.N. spokesman Farhan Haq said McA-
fee had informed the United Nations that
its networks may have been targeted in a
broad cyberattack between September
2008 and December 2010. He said the
U.N.s technical staff in NewYork and Ge-
neva are analyzing logs of network activ-
ity for those periods, lookingfor evidence
of such an attack.

spokesman Mark Adams said that, thus
far, the attacks are a claimbeingmade by
Mcafee and that the security firms re-
searchers have yet to give us any evi-
dence or detail.

MOGADISHU, Somalia The for-
mer al-Shabab foot soldiers assigned to
a drab cement housing bloc are young
too young. One is only 9, yet they
were enforcers of harsh edicts fromIsla-
mist militants who are preventing thou-
sands of Somalis fromescaping famine.
The Associated Press obtained rare
access totheformer fighters at agovern-
ment rehabilitation facility in Mogad-
ishu, providing a viewinto the workings
of theal-Qaida-linkedgroupwhosepres-
ence inmuchof Somalia is stymieing ef-
forts toprovide emergency aid. Millions
risk starvation amid Somalias worst
drought in 60 years.
The U.N. declared three new regions
in Somalia famine zones on Wednesday
and said the crisis is likely to spread
across all of southern Somalia in com-
ing weeks. Getting aid to the country
has been difficult because al-Shabab
controls much of the most desperate ar-
eas.
The hardline militant grouproutinely
recruits young teenagers, kidnapping
them. Last week, three teenage fighters
surrendered to the African Union mili-
tary force during a military offensive.
The most recent arrival at the rehab
center, 17-year-old Abshir Mohammed
Abdi, saidtherewas nolife, noprospec-
ts inside al-Shabab, which he belonged
to for 1
1
2 years before escaping to the
camp last week. Abdi is from the coun-
trys south Kismayo where Soma-
lias famine is hitting hardest.
Abdi said many there are suffering,
with al-Shabab fighters trying to stop
the flowof refugees towardfood, anexo-
dus that threatens to diminish the pop-
ulation from which al-Shabab draws
conscripts andcollects taxes. Al-Shabab
has denied a famine is taking place.
Somalis who have fled the famine
zones and reached Mogadishu told the
AP that militants are threatening refu-
gees wholeave the southandoftenstop-
ping and sometimes killing the
men, leading to a disproportionate
number of women and children in
camps in the capital.

without bail, set his bail at
$200,000, and required that he
reside with his mother in Sugar-
loaf, undergo mental health eval-
uation and/or treatment and
abide by some other conditions.
Maynard said her son finally
acknowledged in court on Tues-
day that he had a problem with
mental disease.
She said she had been to her
sons townhouse in Center Val-
ley, which was modestly decorat-
ed, but she couldnt believe what
she saw when she arrived at his
condo in Florida.
When I came down, its like
Bernie Madoff lived here. We
thought his place in Florida was
like his place (near) Bethlehem.
I thought he was succeeding
in life, Maynard said, adding
that her son kept finding excus-
es for her not to visit him in
Florida. He knew that if I came
down here, Id catch him.

We have a lot on our plate

Council member Joe Gorham
said McGlynn, the officer-in-
charge, has not forwarded the
necessary paperwork. Council is
waiting for the officer in
charge to provide the paper-
work, said Gorham.
He expressed his frustration
over trying to work with
McGlynn.
I want cooperation, said
Gorham. We have extended ev-
ery courtesy available and ask
for the same courtesy back, and
were not getting it.
McGlynn was not at the meet-
ing, but borough resident James
Barberio spoke in his defense,
saying the council might want
the officer to do something that
the mayor wont let him do.
Dont get Mr. McGlynn ham-
strung between you and the
mayor, said Barberio.
Mayor Rick Oravic did not at-
tend the meeting.
The new hires would be
brought on in a staggered fash-
ion over the next three months
and bring the force up to six
part-time officers. They work a
maximum of 32 hours a week
under state law.
Gorham said the goal is to
have coverage around the clock
and the borough might be able
to do so because to date the
borough is operating under bud-
get.

NANTICOKE City council
agreed on Wednesday to bid on
several blightedcity properties at
the Luzerne County tax sale next
week.
City Solicitor Paul Pugliese
said the city plans to purchase
and raze the blighted houses in
order to return the properties to
the tax rolls.
Council said the tax sale bid
proposal was discussed in an ex-
ecutive session prior to the coun-
cil meeting. The states Sunshine
Law allows executive sessions to
be held under five instances, in-
cluding personnel, real estate
and litigation issues.
Some residents at the meeting
asked city officials what proper-
ties the city plans to try to buy at
the auction, but Pugliese stated
the state Sunshine Laws do not
require the city to list the specific
properties of interest prior to bid.
The taxsale, onWednesday be-
ginning at 10 a.m. in the cour-
thouse rotunda, is open to the
public, so residents can hear who
is biddingonwhat properties and
for what amounts they are sold.
The Times Leader also will
cover the tax sale and report the
results.

HAZLETON A city police of-
ficer is beingassignedtothestate
police Auto Theft Task Force to
combat the growing problem in
the area, and the auto insurance
industry is picking up the tab.
Patrolman Anthony White, a
four-year veteranof the force, will
work on the task force along with
state troopers and officers from
cities such as Reading and York
to target car theft rings and chop
shops.
Council on Wednesday autho-
rized Mayor Joe Yannuzzi to sign
an agreement with state police
that establishes a frame-
work for state reimburse-
ment of up to $129,257 an-
nually to cover Whites sal-
ary and benefits, overtime,
cell phone service, vehicle
lease and expenses and
training-related expenses.
The city will use the sav-
ings from Whites salary
and benefits to hire anoth-
er police officer, Yannuzzi
said, adding that he wants
to hire someone who al-
ready has Act 120 training so the
officer can begin work as soon as
possible.
Police Chief Robert Ferdinand
couldnt say how much time
White would spend working in
the city, but its important to
take a regional approach.
Although he didnt have statis-
tics on hand, Ferdinand said auto
theft here is a significant prob-
lem. Weve had enough auto
thefts in the city to justify the
task force reac-
hing out to us,
he said.
According to
state police
Uniform Crime
Reports, vehi-
cle thefts in Ha-
zleton climbed
from 44 in 2001
to a high of 92 in 2006. There
were an average of 58 auto thefts
annually in the city over the past
four years, data show.
Michelle Staton, executive di-
rector of the Pennsylvania Auto
Theft Prevention Authority,
whichprovides grants tostatepo-
lice for the task force,
said there are about
53,000 auto thefts in the
state each year and Lu-
zerne County is ranked
10thof all counties inthe
state for auto theft. It is
a problem, and there is a
concentration in Hazle-
ton, she said.
Staton suspects that
concentration could be
related to interstates 80
and 81 running through
the Hazleton area and a lot of
people moving in to the area.
She noted that no tax money is
used for the task force. All fund-
ing is derived from assessments
on insurance companies.
White said hes excited about
working with the task force.
I cant wait to get started. Its
something I find really interest-
ing and its a problem that needs
attention in the city and in the ar-
ea, White said.

WILKES-BARRE A much-
anticipated Wilkes-Barre Area
School Board meeting set for
noon Wednesday was canceled
after the board realized it had
not been advertised as required
by state law.
The meeting was rescheduled
for 8:30 a.m. Friday.
A small crowd that included
Wilkes-BarreMayor TomLeight-
on and his frequent political
nemesis, city towing business
operator Bob Kadluboski, had
gathered for the meeting at the
district administration building
when Assistant Solicitor Ray
Wendolowski came into the
room with the news. Wendolow-
ski said the problem was caused
by a clerical error and was un-
intentional.
Dressed in a dark suit and
sporting the shaggy start of
beard he credited to time on va-
cation, Leighton declined com-
ment on his presence other than
to say he had some items he
wanted to discuss with the
board.
Leighton has been trying to
get the boardtoforgive $445,000
inbacktaxes owedonthe former
Old River Road Bakery. The
board rebuffed the request in the
past, and members have increas-
ingly chided Leighton for com-
ing to them at the last minute
with such requests.
Previous owners defaulted on
a mortgage and a bank had as-
sumed ownership. The bank
then transferred the property to
Wilkes-Barre for $1 in 2008.
Leighton had arranged to sell
the property to Leo A. Glodzik
III, owner of LAG Towing the
citys contracted tower and a
contributor to Leightons elec-
tion campaigns. The city did not
advertise the property was for
sale.
The sale has been staunchly
opposed by Kadluboski, who
had signed a sheet acknowledg-
ing he wanted to address the
board.
Wendolowski said it was Ka-
dluboski who notified him that
the meeting had not been adver-
tised. After the meeting was can-
celed, Kadluboski criticized the
decisionto holdthe Friday meet-
ing at 8:30 a.m. He argued that it
denied the public the chance to
comment on board actions and
called it a fix.
Agendas prepared for the
meeting made no mention of the
property.

They have to warn as quickly as
they think theres reasonable
evidence for concern.
Art Caplan
The bioethicist at the University of Pennsylvania this
week said the governments handling of a
salmonella outbreak likely linked to ground turkey in 26 states raises
ethical questions about why the public wasnt warned sooner.
Our country is in need
of a unified government
I
n light of the prolonged debt ceiling
negotiations, there is one thing that
comes to mind about the power of politi-
cal parties and their role in modern poli-
tics.
When leaving the presidency in 1796,
George Washington gave his Farewell
Address to the nation, instantly becoming
one of the greatest speeches in American
history and political thought. Denying the
right to serve another term as president
and establishing the precedent of demo-
cratic turnover of office, Washington ad-
dressed the greatest concern in U.S. poli-
tics at the time.
He apparently had no ambitions other
than to live a peaceful, simple life on his
farm with no political agenda of his own,
except for the best interests of the newly
established nation. He warned against the
power of political parties as inherently
destructive to the deliberations of elected
officials and, in turn, creating the fatal
tendency of factionalism.
Instead of working toward the mutual
interests of the electorate, these parties
create factionalism and divide people
through what Washington terms as an
artificial and extraordinary force.
It has become self-evident through these
recent debt negotiations that the will of
the American people has been hijacked by
the interests of political parties and the
factionalism created thereof.
It is time to come together as Americans
and do what must be done for the good of
the people. In the words of another great
political theorist, Abraham Lincoln, A
house divided against itself cannot stand.
Well, now is the time that our house
must come together, or tomorrow it might
not be standing.

Dont allow TV ads to be
only guide to candidates
I
love how Republicans say, We dont
want to raise taxes.
Gov. Tom Corbett was put into office
by saying he will not raise taxes, apparent-
ly by people who watch campaign ads on
TV and look no further. What people dont
realize is that once in office, these politic-
ians make cuts to the middle-class pro-
grams and education funding, which caus-
es increases in your school taxes and other
taxes to make up what they are losing by
not raising your income taxes.
Republicans sit back and say, we didnt
raise taxes, knowing full well the cuts
would make your taxes go up. Im not
saying Democrats are on the up and up,
either; but at least when they raise taxes,
they dont try to hide it.
I think before the next election, people
should look beyond the TV ads.

Social Security belongs
to those who earned it
M
ay I remind the president and Con-
gress that Social Security is not a
government entitlement benefit? The
deductions taken from our hard-earned
paychecks throughout our working lives
were meant to be put aside by the govern-
ment for our retirements.
Everything was fine until legislation was
passed in the 1980s to place Social Securi-
ty revenues in the general fund. It was
supposed to be borrowed, like an IOU, but
...
Can we borrow from congressional
members retirement funds, as they did
from ours, to ensure that the Social Securi-
ty recipients get paid next month? Will
they withhold their paychecks in August to
show the retired folks who are living on
very limited incomes how much they care?
Its our money, guys. What did you do
with it?
Patrick Killian
Wilkes-Barre Township
Council candidate urges
reform with transparency
I
attended the July 13 meeting of the
Luzerne County Home Rule Transition
Committee. I asked questions and ex-
pressed my concerns.
I pointed out the obvious absence of Mr.
James Haggerty. Is this now only a 10-
member transition committee? Will he
officially resign? The Luzerne County
commissioners are serving double duty
and cannot attend all of the committee and
subcommittee meetings. Yet, they make an
effort.
I also inquired about the issue of ethics.
Is this group held accountable to the same
standards created by the Pennsylvania
State Ethics Commission? Is this commit-
tee held to the same standards written in
the home rule charter? Certain members
of the Luzerne County Government Study
Commission wrote the charter and then
ran for positions they created. I see a polit-
ical power grab here with personal motives
as the driving force.
I am also writing in response to colum-
nist Kevin Blaums recent criticism in The
Times Leader (Conduct search for manag-
er professionally, July 17) in regard to
hiring a Luzerne County executive.
Mr. Blaum believes early disclosure of
applicants names will limit the pool of
qualified applicants. He thinks it is an
amateur approach. Mr. Blaum lives in an
elite, safe philosophical world and does not
practice what he preaches.
I answered the question, saying I want
to keep this hiring process open to ensure
a continuation of transparency and reform
in Luzerne County.
We need reform. We must know as much
as possible about the Luzerne County
manager applicants and scrutinize every
application. I think a compromise could be
reached to give the public information and
connect the dots based on the applicants
rsums. A suggestion was given at the
July 13 meeting to release rsums with no
names.
Applicants should be required to answer
questions in regard to relatives and con-
tacts with Luzerne County businesses.
The Luzerne County manager will run
day-to-day operations and make decisions
with budgets related to county, state and
federal funds. This person will oversee
approximately 1,800 county employees.
This individual will have the power to hire
and fire. This person will be able to select
anyone to co-sign county checks.
Lets not start out with more secrets.
Remember my name. Elect those people
who will work together for an open trans-
parent government.

OUGHER FUEL stan-
dards are coming to
the United States, and
they should produce
twin victories for a cleaner en-
vironment and a reduced ad-
diction to foreign oil.
Large automakers and Presi-
dent Barack Obama deserve
praise for agreeing to stricter
fuel efficiency standards for
new vehicles. The results
promise to be impressive. Cars
and trucks will use less gaso-
line, cutting the need for im-
ported petroleum from unsta-
ble Middle Eastern countries.
The reduced emissions from
cleaner-burning vehicles will
yield healthier air for millions
of Americans.
Obama did a solid job nego-
tiating with carmakers, insist-
ingonadeal that wouldrequire
them to increase fuel economy
to 54.5 miles a gallon for their
vehicle fleets by 2025.
Some environmentalists are
miffed the proposed standards
arent even higher. However,
they arent that far down from
Obamas initial (good) idea of
future vehicle fleets that would
average 56 miles a gallon.
All major domestic automak-
ers finally appear ready to em-
brace the standards and drop
their claims that Americans
wont buy these kinds of vehi-
cles. As sales figures for small-
er cars and trucks have shown
in recent years, they will, in-
deed, roll off the showroom
floors.

D
URING THE endless
weeks Congress has
spent debating the
abstractions of the
debt ceiling, homeowners
around Philadelphia and the
state have confronted a far
more real ceiling crisis: the
loss of their homes through
foreclosure.
A recent report by Realty
Trac, which moni-
tors real estate and
foreclosure data,
might seem like
good news but is ac-
tually bad: Foreclo-
sures are down but
mainly because of
processing delays at
the banks, which are
drowning under
huge inventories of
foreclosed homes. In
the first six months of this
year, only 1.2 million home-
owners got a foreclosure filing
30 percent less than in 2010.
Until recently, Pennsylvania
homeowners were a little more
fortunate than those in other
states, since both the state and
the city have offered innova-
tive foreclosure programs.
For example, the states
Homeowner EmergencyMort-
gage Assistance Program has
been a national leader for the
past 25 years by giving loans to
unemployed homeowners to
help prevent the loss of their
homes. It has helped save
45,000 homes.
Unfortunately, the state
killed that program last
month, another victim of the
state budget cuts. The state
had spent $10 million on the
program the previous year; it
cut that to $2 million, which
was not enough to save the
program.
And although the state bud-
get cuts havent been pleasant
for many, especially lower-in-
come residents, the foreclo-
sure of the HEMAP program
seems not only cruel, giventhe
unemployment rate, but par-
ticularly counterproductive.
For one thing, the low-income
loans provided to
homeowners who
lost their jobs had
a high rate of re-
payment; repay-
ments were used
to grant addition-
al loans to other
homeowners, so
the program
helped fund itself.
The program was
recently singled
out as a model bytheNewYork
Federal Reserve.
Why should we care about
the homes of people whove
lost their jobs? As far too many
people have learned, the dev-
astation of foreclosure affects
far more than a family that los-
es its home. Foreclosures des-
tabilize streets, neighbor-
hoods and communities, by af-
fecting property values.
The state saw an influx of
federal funds for HUDs Emer-
gency Homeowners Loan Pro-
gram, but those expire Sept.
30.
After that, all help ends. The
Pennsylvania Save Our Homes
Coalition is advocating for res-
toring the state funds, using
some of the states budget sur-
plus. That would be a wise in-
vestment.

OTHER OPINION: FORECLOSURES

City Clerk JimRyan said it will

agenda for discussion only. Ryan
said the ordinance is not sched-

regular session on Aug. 11.
Albert Martino has advocated
establishing bike lanes in the
citys downtown for years. He
said more than 500 signatures
have been gathered through the
bikeWB.org website and on pet-
itions circulated downtown.
We are askingthe city toenact
an ordinance that will establish
safe biking habits for riders,
Martino said. We want to make
motorists aware of where cyclists
will be and where they go.
Martino said several accidents
involving vehicles and bicycles
have occurred. He said safer con-
ditions are needed.
Borton, Martino and Tom
Jones and Rich Adams of Around
Town Bicycles on North Main
Street said they have developed a
15-step process to improve safety
and the end result, they hope,
will be a master plan for bike
lanes. They have been working
with Carol Hussa of the Wilkes-
Barre YMCA on the project.
We realize we have to offer a
plan that is low in cost, Jones
said. We understand that money
is tight everywhere.
Jones, Martino and Adams
talkedabout defininga bike route
downtown. They would like to
see some city streets, like Fran-
klin Street, that are one-way with
two lanes be reduced to one lane
with a lane for bikers.
Cyclists must travel with traf-
fic, not against it, Adams said.
But the streets have to be wide
enough. We want to work with
the city and we will start by pre-
senting our plan.
The group wants to provide a
safe bike route from Coal Street
to the River Common so cyclists
can enjoy the entire city and mo-
torists can be aware of where
they are.

Multiple messages left with
Burgit on Wednesday were not
returned.
Reasons for refusal
McCracken said the PUC on-
ly allows for two reasons for a
cab driver to not accept a fare.
One would be if the customer is
disorderly, and the other is if
the driver is informed the na-
ture of the ride is to participate
in an illegal activity.
She said just living in a bad
neighborhood is not an accept-
able reason, and if someone
were to call the PUC and com-
plain about being turned away
for service, the PUC would
launch an investigation and the
cab company would face a fine
of up to $500 per incident.
McCracken suggested cab
companies faced with robberies
or other safety issues look into
investing in driver safety train-
ing, installing cameras or pro-
tective shields between the
front and rear seats.
At least one other area cab
company is considering securi-
ty upgrades for its fleet after
three armed robberies of Burgit
City Taxi cab drivers this week.
Tucker Day, general manager
of McCarthy Flowered Cabs in
Scranton, said hes absolutely
keeping an eye on whats been
happening with fellow cab com-
pany Burgit.
Sure, were concerned with
whats going on, said Day.
Measures considered
He said his drivers have not
had to deal with such incidents,
but as a result of whats gone on
in Wilkes-Barre this week, hes
looking at perhaps installing
safety glass between the front
and rear seats and other mea-
sures to protect drivers.
Safety glass may or may not
have helped three Burgit City
Taxi drivers this week.
One of Burgits drivers was
robbed and pistol-whipped
around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday on
Arch Street, just hours after a
driver was robbed Monday
night near 90 S. Hancock St.
Another driver was robbed Sun-
day morning near 249 S. Welles
St.
According to Wilkes-Barre
police reports on the three in-
cidents:
Travis Matthews, 24, a 15-
year-old male and a 13-year-old
male allegedly got into a Burgit
taxi in the area of Garfield and
Sambourne streets just before
9:30 a.m. Tuesday, asking to be
dropped off on Arch Street.
When the taxi driver reached
the destination, he was struck
in the face with a pistol and
robbed of his cell phone.
A Burgit driver was robbed
in the area of 90 S. Hancock St.
just after 11 p.m. Monday when
a man approached his cab say-
ing he was waiting for a second
person.
The driver claimed a second
man wearing a black ski mask
with an open face entered his
cab armed with a black hand-
gun and demanded money, po-
lice said.
Police said the two men got
away with an undisclosed
amount of cash.
On Sunday, just before 3
a.m., a Burgit driver told police
he was robbed by three men in
the area of 249 S. Welles St.
Day said his company has not
considered restricting fares in
some neighborhoods in its ser-
vice areas in Lackawanna Coun-
ty and added that he wasnt
sure it was even allowed.
We dont think its necessary
at this point, Day said. McCar-
thy Flowered Cabs is licensed
by the state Public Utility Com-
mission to make pickups
throughout Lackawanna Coun-
ty but can bring fares into Lu-
zerne County.

Spokeswoman Denise McCrack-
en said the PUC only allows for
two reasons for a cab driver to
not accept a fare. One would
be if the customer is disorder-
ly, and the other is if the driv-
er is informed the nature of
the ride is to participate in an
illegal activity.
At least six apartment build-
ings in Wilkes-Barre are on the
list, along with a range of
single-family homes.
Plains Twp. townhouse
An example: A 1,970-
square-foot townhouse,
built around 1988, at 53
Clarks Lane in Plains
Township. The property
owners bought it for
$100,000 in1990 but stop-
ped paying taxes in 1990,
racking up $120,821 in
back taxes. On-and-off
bankruptcy filings kept
the property out of back-
tax sales until now.
The townhouse is assessed at
$167,400, and bidding starts at
$1,033. The starting bid is higher
than usual for this property be-
cause of the number of lien hold-
ers that had to be notified about
the propertys sale.
Some other residences up for
auction: a 2,700-square-foot 1970
home on 2 acres on Bulford Road
in Jackson Township; a 1,820-
square-foot home built in1990 on
Garbutt Street in Dallas Town-
ship and a 2,668-square foot split-
level on Orange Road in Franklin
Township.
A newer industrial building on
North Park Drive in Hazle Town-
ship is also listed at a starting bid
of $797, a dropinthe bucket com-
pared to its assessed value of
$6.166 million. The prop-
erty on roughly16 acres is
owned by Behnken Prop-
erties Inc., which owes
$152,197 in taxes from
2008 to 2010.
Suspended attorney
Robert Powells Butler
Township law firm and a
Wright Township town-
house project hes in-
volved with are also on
the auction list.
The law office, listed
under the ownership of
Powells Big Kahuna Real-
ty LLC, sits on 5 acres and is as-
sessed at $1.174 million. Bids
start at $832.
W-Cat Inc. property
The unfinished townhouse
project, owned by W-Cat Inc., is
assessed at $1.237 million. The
property includes 37 acres, with
bidding starting at $806.
Large vacant parcels in the sale
include: 32.65 acres on Hayes
Street in Hazle Township, 29
acres on Bear Creek Boulevard in
Bear Creek Township and 6.45
acres on Snyder Lane and Spring
Mill Road in Wright Township.
A vacant commercial building
on the corner of South Main and
Northampton Streets in Wilkes-
Barre is also listed. The city has
purchased two other properties
in this complex, which faces the
MainStreet lofts above the down-
town theater complex.
List could shrink
The list of properties could be
reduced before the sale. Property
owners may get the properties re-
moved from the sale if they pay
the back taxes before the sale or
convince a judge that the proper-
ty should be removed.
Roughly 75 people or business-
es hadregisteredtobidinthesale
as of Wednesday afternoon.
Rodgers said he wants compe-
tition because it may up the pur-
chase prices. Payments beyond
the starting bids are split up
among taxing bodies that lost
money when the taxes werent
paid.
He suggests that bidders re-
search the list of properties at the
county Tax Claim Office on the
first floor of the county cour-
thouse or on the offices website,
www.luzernecountytaxclaim-
.com (click on the judicial sale
heading at the left of the main
page).
Potential buyers may visit the
county mapping office in the
courthouse to identify the loca-
tion of properties they might
want to purchase and then check
out the properties from the
street, Rodgers said.
Buyers have no right to inspect
the interiors of properties ahead
of time. Buyers must pay for the
properties immediately after the
sale and also pay transfer taxes
that typically amount to 2 per-
cent of the assessed value
(Wilkes-Barres tax is 3.5 per-
cent).
Bidders may also want to con-
sult with a lawyer or search for
past records associated with a
property in the recorder of deeds
or prothonotarys office to make
sure everything is in order before
they bid, he said.
There are many success stories
of property owners who have ac-
quiredproperty cheapat back-tax
sales, he said.
He pointed to Premium Realty
Inc., which bought the former
2.9-acre Red Carpet Inn property
on Kidder Street in Wilkes-Barre
at a back-tax sale for $863 earlier
this year. The previous buyer had
paid $1.57 million for the proper-
ty in 2005, county records show.

WILKES-BARRE An attor-
ney for the Luzerne County
Prothonotarys Office said an ap-
peal filed by a state inmate was
justly rejected because it wasnt
filed in time, and the inmates
lawsuit filed against the office
and other county employees
should be dismissed.
Prothonotary Carolee Medico
Olenginski, former Deputy
Prothonotary Bob Sypniewski,
former county President Judge
Chester Muroski and the Lu-
zerne County Court of Common
Pleas were named in a handwrit-
ten lawsuit filed by Hilton Kar-
riem Mincy, who is currently in-
carcerated at the State Correc-
tional Facility at Rockviewin Bel-
lefonte.
The suit was filed with in the
state Supreme Court on July 14.
On Wednesday, an attorney for
Olenginski, Samuel Stretton, fil-
edpreliminary objections to Min-
cys lawsuit.
Mincy claims in his lawsuit the
countys civil records office failed
to file an appeal he sought in May
2010.
The appeal stems from a May
2009 lawsuit Mincy filed against
attorney Tom Marsilio, in which
Mincy alleges Marsilio kept him
in the dark about another civil
lawsuit against SCI Mahanoy,
where Mincy alleged mistreat-
ment at the prison.
Mincy alleges a breach of con-
tract and negligence on the part
of Marsilio. That complaint was
dismissed by then-President
Judge Muroski, who has since be-
come a senior judge.
Mincy says in the suit he want-
ed to file an appeal to the judges
order, but could not because of
the civil records office mishand-
ling his documents.
The lawsuit filed against SCI
Mahanoy, court records say, was
dismissed at the federal level.
The failure to file the appeal,
Mincy says in the suit, caused
him to have his rights taken
away; tolosetheright toreversea
judges decision and to lose mon-
ey owed to him totaling more
than $11,000.
Mincy also says he should be
able to refile the appeal and
should be reimbursed fees for fil-
ing the lawsuit and obtaining a
paralegal.
Stretton said in his objections
tothe lawsuit the notice of appeal
was rejected by the prothono-
tarys office because it did not in-
clude filing fees and was untime-
ly.
Stretton said Mincy also took
more than a year to respond and
the case should be under the ju-
risdictionof the court of common
pleas, not the Supreme Court,
and therefore should be dismis-
sed.
Mincy is serving a 17-to-40-
year sentenceonachargeof crim-
inal attempt stemming from a
case in Lycoming County.
Mincy, 36, of Williamsport,
was originally incarceratedinOc-
tober 1998. He will be up for pa-
role in March 2015, according to
the Department of Corrections.
Inmates appeal too late, county attorney says
The suit, which was rejected
at the federal level, was filed
by an inmate at Rockview.

T
he latest hyped-up Yankees
farmhand arrived in Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre and wasted little
time taking matters into his own
hands.
Manny Banuelos earned some re-
spect as well as applause at PNC Field
for the way he battled through his
Triple-A debut Tuesday with the little
Yankees. He showed enough grit and
determination to give Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre a chance to win.
But Banuelos didnt quite conjure
up images of Andy Pettitte, the last
homegrown left-handed starting pitch-
er the New York Yankees developed.
Hes got great stuff, Yankees gen-
eral manager Brian Cashman said
after watching his new prized prospect
pitch five innings of two-run baseball.
He was ready to take the next step.
Im glad he got his feet wet here.
It seemed Banuelos got his feet
tangled a bit down in Trenton.
Banuelos wasnt exactly sailing
along in Double-A, putting up a 4-5
record with a 3.53 ERA in 20 starts
with the Thunder.
But the 20-year-old kid brought a
thundering 93-mph fastball to Tri-
ple-A, striking out eight Lehigh Valley
IronPigs during a no-decision in
Scranton/Wilkes-Barres eventual 3-2
victory.
I got a little bit nervous, Banuelos
said of his first Triple-A start. But
after the first pitch, it stops.
Interestingly, Banuelos stopped the
first-place IronPigs from busting the
game open with a big inning despite
allowing seven hits and three walks.
He had runners in scoring position
against him during four of the five
innings he worked, and stranded a
runner at third base in three of them.
But the only runs Banuelos allowed
came on a solo homer by recently
demoted Phillies outfielder Domonic
Brown and an RBI triple by Pete Orr.
With that lineup, theyve got some
professional hitters over there who
can swing the bat, Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre manager Dave Miley said. I
thought (Banuelos) handled himself
very well. We were very happy with
the job he did, especially getting that
last out in the fifth.
That final pitch Banuelos threw
Tuesday was a fastball sneaking past
Cody Overbeck for strike three with
runners standing on second and third
in a tie game.
But even before that, Banuelos
showed some fire under pressure. He
escaped a bases-loaded, one-out jam in
his first Triple-A inning by fanning
Delwyn Young and inducing an in-
ning-ending popup. And after Browns
blast in the third, Banuelos left two
men on with a strikeout of Carlos
Rivero.
Its good for me to get outs with
runners on base, Banuelos said. I
always try to strike them out.
But will the Yankees jinx strike
him?
Its fair to wonder, after a long list
of promising pitching prospects made
their way through Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre only to falter in New York lately.
Joba Chamberlain was a ball of fire
when he first hit the big leagues but
bottomed out as a mediocre reliever
whos now on the disabled list. Ian
Kennedy made the National League
All-Star team this year with Arizona
but couldnt make it in New York.
The jurys still out on Phil Hughes,
who won 18 games as an American
League All-Star last season but has
looked star-crossed at times with a 2-3
record and 6.93 ERA this season.
We rely on our farm system more
than were given credit for, Cashman
said.
Thats a credit to a team only if its
farm system is reliable, not rickety.
For starters, the latest Yankees prize
appeared to be a little of both.

AKRON, Ohio Add another list of
numbers to show how much has
changed in the world of Tiger Woods.
Geoff Ogilvy ran across a bookmakers
odds for the Bridgestone Invitational
when he noticed Woods at 20-to-1. This
would only be startling because Woods
hasnt competed in three months while
letting injuries to his left leg fully heal.
In this case, however, Ogilvy considered
that Woods has won a record seven
times at Firestone, and until last year
and never finished worse than fifth.
Did you think you could ever get Ti-
ger at Firestone at 20-1? Ever? Ogilvy
said to one of the caddies. He was on
2-to-1 for a while.
Then he paused on the putting green,
which was filled with players getting
ready for a World Golf Championship
that starts on Thursday.
Its been an odd year, Ogilvy said.
The goal for Woods is to restore some
normalcy, at least to his own game. He is
coming up on the two-year anniversary
of his last win on American soil. The last
time he faced any competition inside the
ropes, it lasted no more than nine holes
at The Players Championship until he
withdrew because of leg injuries.
Now, he claims he is as healthy as he
has been in years he wouldnt say
how many years, just plural. He has
looked solid in a nine-hole practice
round alone on Tuesday, and with Hun-
ter Mahan and Arjun Atwal on Wednes-
day. Then again, practice rounds havent
always been a good indicator for Woods,
except at Pebble Beach and St. Andrews
in the summer of 2000.
What to expect Thursday? Not even
Woods knows.
I still havent been in a competitive
environment yet, so thats a totally dif-
ferent atmosphere, he said.

MOOSIC With NewYork in

Brian Cashman decided to take a

Tuesday night.

plate at PNC
Field.
Not only did
he get to see
prized prospect
pitcher Manny
Banuelos the
No. 2 overall
prospect in the
organization
according to MLB.com make
his Triple-A debut, Cashman got
a glimpse of the No. 1 overall
prospect in the organization Je-
sus Montero smack three hits, in-
cluding a home run.
New Yorks general manager
addressed several issues sur-
rounding the organizations top
two prospects.
Cashman addressed the recent
talk that Montero would be get-
ting a call-up to the majors soon.
Although he didnt confirm the
rumor, he didnt deny it either.
Its possible, Cashman said
when asked if Montero could be
called up this year. Hes obvious-
ly someone that I think can play
in the big leagues in 2011. Will
he? Well see. Obviously I think
the experience here the last two
years has helped.

BETHLEHEM Eagles defensive
tackle Mike Patterson likely will stay
overnight at a hospital after suffering a
seizure at training camp at Lehigh Uni-

Wednesday.
Patterson dropped to the ground be-
tween plays during a morning practice,
and the player began violently shaking.
He was immediately tended to by Burk-
holder and his staff, with assistance
from rookie offensive lineman Danny
Watkins, a trained firefighter.
Burkholder said the

Patterson was under-

Lehigh Valley Hospi-

Chances are really

for observation, Burkholder said. Hes
there with his wife. The only thing that
weve really ruled out, he didnt have
any bleeding in his brain or anything
like that. The bleeding that some of you
saw was that he bit his tongue, theyve
confirmed that, and theyre running
more tests on him right now.
But hes very stable. He wants to

LOS ANGELES Bubba Smith, a
former All-Profootball player turnedac-
tor and commercial pitch man who de-
lightedTVviewers bywrenchingoff the
tops of easy-opening cans of beer, was
found dead Wednesday at his Los An-
geles home. He was 66.
The cause of death has not been de-
termined, the Los Angeles Countycoro-
ners office said.
A caretaker found Smith at his home
in Los Angeles Baldwin Hills section,
police said.
A 6-foot-7, 280-pound defensive end,
Smithwas theNo. 1NFLdraft pickfrom
Michigan State University when he
joined the Baltimore Colts in1967.
He played five seasons for the Colts,
which included their upset loss to the
New York Jets in Super Bowl III and a
victory over the Dallas Cowboys in Su-
per Bowl V. He spent two seasons with
the OaklandRaiders andtwomore with
the Houston Oilers before a knee injury
ended his career in1976.
He was simply a good guy, former
Michigan State teammate Robert Viney
saidinastatement releasedthroughthe
university. His size made himanintim-
idating figure, but he was a real gentle-
man. He was a helluva player.
After football, Smith was recruited to
theranksof formerprofessional athletes
who appeared as themselves in com-
mercials for Miller Lite beer. He and fel-
lowNFLveteran Dick Butkus were cast
as inept golfers and polo players in the
TV spots. Smith was also featured solo
in one commercial extolling the virtues
of the beer, beaming into the camera, I
also love the easy-opening cans, while
ripping off the top of the can.

to the Montreal Expos and played that night in
Philadelphia. He entered the game in right field in
the fourth inning and later got a single.

come back to training camp, but
hes over there being observed,
but thats pretty normal for
somebody who has a seizure.
Standard protocol says keep him
in overnight to watch him and
keep some monitors on him and
whatnot.
Pattersons agent JR Ricket
said in a statement that the play-
er is in no pain and doing well.
We are very grateful for ev-
eryones prayers and support,
he added. Mike will be back at
practice as soon as the doctors
clear him.
Burkholder said the seizure
lasted about four minutes, and
Patterson lost consciousness at
one point as he was on the
ground.
As players kneeled nearby,
holding hands and praying, an
ambulance arrived and Patter-
son was placed on a stretcher
and lifted into the ambulance.
The linemen resumed prac-
tice after about 15 minutes. The
skill position players did 7-on-7
drills on another field while Pat-
terson was down.
We were all onedge a little bit
and Rick just kind of calmed the
situation down, Eagles coach
Andy Reid said. One thing I
think he did a phenomenal job
with was evaluating it, evaluat-
ing the situation in a calm way.
It was a cool day at camp.
Temperatures were in the high
70s when the players took the
field for their morning session.
Patterson, 28, was the Eagles
first-round pick out of Southern
California in 2005. Hes started
84 games and played in 95, the
most of anybody on the current
roster.
Burkholder said theres no
timetable for Pattersons return.
Well turn that over to the
neurologists and those people
who are absolute experts, he
said. Its not like hamstring
strains. We dont see tons of sei-
zures inour sport, sothats why I
have a whole teamof physicians,
and Lehigh Valley Hospital has a
great neuro department, so
were allowing them to handle
the case now and then well get
him to see our docs down at the
Pennsylvania Hospital eventual-
ly.

decrease in power in his second
season at Triple-A, but his .288
batting average is right on par
withhis .289 markfrom2010. His
longball on Tuesday was his 11th
of the season; last year for SWB
he pounded 21.
Hehas startedtoheat up. Inhis
last 10 games, he is hitting .359
with three home runs. He had
similar stats at this time last sea-
son to help SWB reach the post-
season. If all goes well, he may
help New York reach the playoffs
in 2011.
This is the part of the year he
broke out last year, Cashman
said. Right before the trading
deadline he started to take off
and had a monster finish. So this
is the time of the year, the stretch
drive where he might shine.
This is amiddleof alineuphit-
ter in the big leagues, we believe
some day, and hes a very young
player too. What hes done at the
level hes done it at and the age
hes done it at is rare. So him and
Manny Banuelos both have
moved themselves very fast.
Banuelos, 20, has also been ru-
moredto be heading to NewYork
this season after a strong show-
ing in spring training with the
parent club and solid perform-
ances with Double-A Trenton.
During the spring, the left-
hander made six appearances
two starts and went 1-1 with a
2.13 ERAand14 strikeouts in12
2
3
innings pitched against Major
League players and only allowed
10 hits. On Tuesday, he tied his
career-high with eight strikeouts
against LehighValley andonly al-
lowed two runs.
I dont think there was any-
thing left for him in Trenton so
we wanted him to get some Tri-
ple-Agames under his belt before
the season ended, Cashman
said. So as we move into next
year the gap is closer to the big
leagues.
Cashman also raved about the
prospects heheldontoduringthe
trade deadline and said that the
Yankees arent given enough
credit for their minor-league sys-
tem, whichhas developedbloom-
ing stars Eduardo Nunez and
Ivan Nova, to go along with a
slew of other former farmhands
currently playing in New York.
We love Nova andlove Nunez,
but the next wave of Yankees we
believe have even higher ceilings
and even more potential than
those guys, Cashman said.
Hopefully the patience will pay
off and well continue to give
guys the opportunity. The games
themselves will decide the men
from the boys.
Im not afraid to give them a
chance.

past champions in the 11-year his-
tory of this WGC event at Fire-
stone one win each for defend-
ing champion Mahan, Stewart
Cink and Darren Clarke, and sev-
entitles for Woods.
But that was theoldWoods, the
guy who won at least one World
Championship every year since
1999.
The recovering Woods?
He said his expectation was to
win, just like always. Some of his
peers, who have seen his action
over 20 winless months and
havent seen him the past three
months, arent so sure.
No one expects him to come
out and play well, U.S. Open
championRory McIlroy said. Im
sure he expects himself to come
out andplayandcompete, but giv-
en the length of layoff and consid-
eringthathesonlybeenabletohit
full shots for the last twoweeks or
whatever, it wouldbe anunbeliev-
able effort if he was to come back
and compete. But I think just get
through72holesandmaybefinish
top 20 would be a really good ef-
fort.
After playing the back nine un-
der gray clouds, Mahan said this
about Woods on Twitter: The
swing looks great and the knee
looks evenbetter.
Then again, Mahan is slightly
biased because both employ Sean
Foley as a swing coach.
Whatever the expectations, the
level of curiosity about Woods is
close to what it was when he re-
turnedfromhis sex scandal at the
2010 Masters. There was some-
thing about the way he left The
Players Championship on May12
that made it look as though he
wouldnever be the same, that the
four surgeries on his left knee
would keep himfromdominating
the way he once did.
Three months later, there was a
confidence with Woods when he
spoke about his health, and being
patienttolethislegsheal properly.
I think for some of the young
guys, theyve never seen Tiger
Woods play Tiger Woods golf,
Mahan said. Theyve never even
come close to seeing it. I dont
thinkhehastoproveanything, but
I thinkhes oneof thoseguys, kind
of like (Michael) Jordan, he takes
every single thing that someone
says and hes going to turn it into
this massive gas on a fire that hes
got burningright now. I thinkhes
ready, man.
A motivated Tiger and some-
onewhohasachallengeinfront of
himis a goodthing for him.
Woods tees off at1:40p.m. with
Clarke, a longtime friendwholast
month captured his first major at
the British Open. Two groups be-
hind them will be Adam Scott,
noteworthy only because Scott
now uses Steve Williams, whom
Woods fired as a caddie a month
ago. Woods is using Bryon Bell, a
childhood friend who last worked
for himsix years ago at Disney.
Another reunion occurred dur-
inghispracticeroundwhenheput
his old Scotty Cameron putter
the one he used in 13 major wins
back in his bag. Whether it
stays there wont be known until
he tees off.

Despite a lucrative contract
and widespread popularity,
Smith walked away fromthe job.
I went back to MichiganState
for the homecoming parade last
year, Smith told then-Los An-
geles Times columnist Scott Os-
tler in1986. I was thegrandmar-
shal and I was riding in the back
seat of this car. The people were
yelling, but they werent saying,
Go, State, go! One side of the
street was yelling, Tastes great!
and the other side was yelling
Less filling!
Then we go to the stadium.
The older folks are yelling Kill,
Bubba, kill! But the students are
yellingTastes great! Less filling!
Everyone in the stands is drunk.
It was like I was contributing to
alcohol, and I dont drink. It
made me realize I was doing
something I didnt want to do.
So he turned to acting in mo-
vies and TV, notably playing
Moses Hightower in six Police
Academy movies. He also ap-
peared in a number of TV series
including Half-Nelson, Blue
Thunder and Good Times.
Charles Aaron Smith was born
Feb. 28, 1945, in Orange, Texas,
andgrewupinBeaumont, where
his mother was a teacher and his
father was his high school foot-
ball coach.
At Michigan State, Smith be-
came an All-America defensive
end for the Spartans, who went
19-1-1 his last two seasons. He al-
so earned a bachelors degree in
sociology.
Bubba Smith was a great
Spartan,MichiganStateathletic
director Mark Hollis said in a
statement. As both a football
player and later as an actor, Bub-
ba was a great ambassador for
the University. Its only fitting
that beginning this fall the Big
Ten Defensive Lineman of the
Year Award bears his name.
His brother Tody, a star at USC
and in the NFL, later became
Bubbas agent. He died at 50 in
1999.
Information on survivors was
not immediately available.

The faces are mostly familiar
and the experience is there. But
for Penn State, there is still
plenty to settle in the presea-
son.
Practices for the 2011 season
begin today for the Nittany
Lions, who reported for the
official opening of camp on
Wednesday. Because of the
volume of injuries that struck
the team last year, there are 23
players who started multiple
games in 2010 returning for this
season.
That means there are a num-
ber of position battles still to be
decided between now and the
Sept. 3 opener against Indiana
State.
QUARTERBACK
The Lions arent exactly start-
ing from scratch again certain-
ly nothing like what the team
faced last summer when not a
single player on the roster had
taken a meaningful snap under
center in a college game.
Indications are that sopho-
more Rob Bolden will be the
man to beat. Bolden, who was
set to transfer in January before
Joe Paterno denied him a re-
lease from his scholarship, in-
sisted this summer that he had
received no promises from the
coaching staff about the starting
job.
Still, Boldens return to the
team is a sign that he is confi-
dent he will reclaim the job he
initially lost to injury in the
middle of last season. But Matt
McGloin held onto the starting
spot in the second half in large
part because he injected some
life into an offense that had
little leadership.
McGloin, a junior from West
Scranton High School, still has
the edge over Bolden in the
huddle, and that goes a long
way for Paterno.
Junior Kevin Newsome also
opted not to transfer and will be
the third-stringer. Redshirt
freshman Paul Jones will sit out
the season for academic rea-
sons, according to Paterno.
TAILBACK
This one is less of a big deal,
as a several different players
will get carries in any given
game. The closest thing to a
feature back that the Lions have
is sophomore Silas Redd, who is
dangerous in open space and
figures to see the most action.
Paterno stressed last week
that Redd still has much to
learn to be a complete, every-
down back, however. His block-
ing needs to improve before the
coaching staff places more trust
in him.
Splitting time with Redd will
be senior Stephfon Green and
junior Brandon Beachum. Other
options include Curtis Dukes
and the fullback duo of Joe
Suhey and Michael Zordich.
TIGHT END
Fifth-year man Andrew
Szczerba looks to be ready to go
after sitting out the entire 2010
season because of a chronic
back injury. The Lions badly
missed the 6-foot-6 Szczerba as
a blocker last season, and if he
adjusts back to the speed of the
game well enough, he should be
the starter.
The Lions have another ap-
pealing option in Kevin Haplea,
who started most of the season
at tight end as a true freshman
because of injuries to Szczerba
and Garry Gilliam, who is ex-
pected to miss all of 2011 as
well.
Haplea handled himself very
well and should still see the
field regardless of Szczerbas
progress.
RIGHT GUARD
The bookends on the offen-
sive line are set and Johnnie
Troutman and Matt Stankie-
witch will likely start at left
guard and center, respectively.
That leaves the big hole from
Stefen Wisniewskis departure
to fill at right guard. Battling it
out will be sophomore John
Urschel and senior DeOntae
Pannell.
The staff is high on Urschel, a
very bright kid who stepped in
late in the year against Indiana
and performed well. Pannell has
started at multiple spots along
the line in the past two years
and one imagines hell be
pressed into duty somewhere
before the year is out.
OUTSIDE LINEBACKER
This one is likely set to be
Nate Stupar and Gerald Hodges
flanking Michael Mauti, who
shifts back inside.
Highly regarded sophomore
Khairi Fortt will push Stupar for
playing time. Penn States pro-
jected second-team linebackers
Fortt, Glenn Carson and Mike
Hull all have the talent to play
immediately.
CORNERBACK
DAnton Lynn enters his third
year as a starter, but the spot
opposite him is once again up
for grabs.
Senior Chaz Powell is one
option assuming he hasnt
been switched between two
more positions by the end of
this article. Junior Stephon
Morris is the other. Both have
starting experience and both
are viable options to round out
a veteran secondary.
KICKER/PUNTER
This could end up being the
same person. Sophomore An-
thony Fera handled the punting
and kickoff duties for much of
last season.
Penn State must replace a
reliable placekicker in Collin
Wagner, and Paterno hasnt
been 100 percent sold on Feras
consistency. But with limited
options, Fera could get a chance
on field goals as well this sea-
son.
Another option there is in-
coming freshman Sam Ficken.
The Lions also have Alex But-
terworth available to punt if
they want to lighten Feras
workload.
P E N N S TAT E F O O T B A L L
Lions starting preseason practice
By DEREK LEVARSE
dlevarse@timesleader.com
CHICAGO Yankees star
Alex Rodriguez will be inter-
viewedby Major League Baseball
as part of its investigation of his
involvement in illegal poker
games.
Rodriguez also facedquestions
about his gambling habits in
2005, when the Daily News re-
ported he attended games at an
underground poker club in New
York. The slugging third base-
man later acknowledged it
wasnt the right thing to do, and
checked with MLB before hold-
ing a charity poker tournament
the following year.
Now baseball wants to talk to
him again.
We take this very seriously
and have been investigating this
matter since the initial allega-
tion, MLB said Wednesday in a
statement. As part of the investi-
gation, the commissioners office
will interview Mr. Rodriguez.
Rodriguez is on the disabled
list and wasnt with the team
Wednesday night in Chicago.
I dont really have any com-
ment on that, manager Joe Gi-
rardi said before the Yankees
played the White Sox. Let base-
ball handle those things.
Star Magazine reported last
month that several people sawA-
Rod playing in games hosted at
Hollywood hotels and residenc-
es. His publicist denied that Ro-
driguez participated.
Rodriguezs name is not men-
tioned in any court filings in rela-
tion to the games.
MLB said at the time that the
report was the first the commis-
sioners office had heard about
the accusation and baseball offi-
cials would look into the matter.
A spokesman for the Yankees
declined comment when asked
about Rodriguez on Wednesday.
A message was left seeking com-
ment from Richard Rubenstein,
Rodriguezs publicist.
The 36-year-old Rodriguez had
right knee surgery on July 14 but
is expected to resume baseball
activities on Thursday at the Yan-
kees facility in Florida. The
three-time AL MVP is hitting
.295 with 13 home runs and 52
RBIs this season.
Rodriguez ranks sixth on the
career homer list with 626. He
needs 137 to break Barry Bonds
all-time record.

ATLANTA Video game
makers are bracing for an extend-
ed NBA lockout by focusing on
former players who made the
league popular in hopes of taking
the attention away from the im-
pact labor strife will have ontheir
product.
In the upcoming NBA 2K12,
which goes on sale Oct. 4 despite
the lockout, 2K Sports plans to
introduce a new mode called,
NBAs Greatest, that will feature
the leagues top 15 players of all-
time and some of the most fa-
mous rivalries.
Hall of Famers such as Michael
Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry
Bird, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and
Julius Erving will be featured on
the latest installment of the best-
selling basketball video game
franchise. Jordan, Johnson and
Bird will appear on three sepa-
rate covers on the front of the
game.
NBA basketball is about the
history and the future of the
game, said Jason Argent, vice
president of marketing at Take-
Twos 2K Sports. We love the
current game and are looking to
optimize it.
But anextendedlockout would
eliminate daily updates.
The video game became pop-
ular through its in-depth mode,
The Association. The mode in-
cludes 30 NBA teams with daily
updates for rosters, injuries, a
player progression system, new
rookies, trades and free agency
moves, and an NBA Develop-
ment League.
Buyers of the game wont be
able to make any updates in The
Association mode until the lock-
out ends, when free agent moves
are made and the regular season
starts.
Hopefully people will go out
and purchase the game, said At-
lanta Hawks forward Josh Smith,
an avid video game player who
appeared in a commercial to pro-
mote NBA 2K11 last year.
Theyre just as upset as us that
there is a lockout. I dont know.
They might put a strike on video
games until the lockout is over.
Greg Miller, the executive edi-
tor of the gaming site IGN,
doesnt expect the upcoming
NBA 2K game to sell more than
last years game, which2KSports
said it sold more than 5 million
units. But withtheadditionof the
former players, he believes the
newmodecanhelptheupcoming
NBA 2K game continue to stay
relevant during the lockout.
Sales will dip, but not super
drastic, Miller said. Especially
if theyre able to push the mile-
stone cover with Magic, Bird and
Jordan. If they push that way, I
dont see much of a dip.
Electronic Arts long-running
video game series NBAElite, for-
merlytitledNBALive, will not re-
lease a game for the second year
in a row and expects to relaunch
in 2012. But in October, EA will
still offer NBAJam: On Fire Edi-
tion, a 2-on-2 basketball game
that is highlighted by exaggerat-
ed high-flying dunks.
EA spokeswoman said the
companyannouncedinApril that
NBA Elite would be postponed
before the lockout started in July.
Since NBA Jam doesnt keep
track of player movement
through the season, she said the
game shouldnt be affectedby the
NBA work stoppage.
In preparation for the lockout,
2K Sports has already created its
own skeleton list of the 15
greatest players andrivalries. But
the video game company wont
come to a final decision on both
until after they have gathered the
opinions from fans through their
own social media networks such
as Twitter and Facebook.

Paul Menard to make the Chase
for the Sprint Cupchampionship.
Chances are Menard wasnt on
many lists outside of those made
at Richard Childress Racing. But
hes a very real threat now, thanks
to his win Sunday at Indianapolis
Motor Speedway and NASCARs
change to the qualifying rules.
The 12-driver field this year
will include wild cards award-
ed to the two drivers outside the
top 10 but among the top 20 in
points who have the most victo-
ries.
Menard is now one of them.
But holding on to one of the
wild cards isnt expected to be
easy as drivers have just six races
remaining to lock up a spot in the
Chase. It could set the stage for
the most aggressive racing in re-
cent memory, as teams take huge
chances to put themselves in po-
sitionfor a win. Menardandcrew
chief Slugger Labbe essentially
did that Sunday at Indianapolis,
where they used fuel strategy to
give Menard his first career Cup
victory. Labbe had laid it out in a
team meeting before they even
arrived at Indy.
I said, Look, guys, if were go-
ing to make the Chase, were go-
ing to have to get risky, Labbe
recalled. Seems to be a trend in
the Cup Series, that people take
gambles on pit road. It was our
turn to get aggressive. I told Paul
he had to support me. He sup-
ported me 100 percent. Three
times he had an occasion where
he could have said, No, I dont
want to do that. But he did. For-
tunately it worked out.
As the series shifts this week-
end to Pocono Raceway, every-
one will be watching to see who
rolls the dice with a different set-
up, gutsy strategy or on-track ag-
gression.
Denny Hamlin is currently
ranked 11th in the standings, but
because hes got one win this sea-
son hes presently holding down
the other wild card. Pocono is
one of his strongest tracks, and a
win Sunday would be a signifi-
cant cushion toward qualifying
for the Chase.
But his Joe Gibbs Racing crew
isnt taking any chances. Upset
that Hamlins engine failed dur-
ing practice at Indianapolis a
lingering issue this season for
JGR driver and crew chief be-
gan inquiring about the possibil-
ity of using a Toyota-built engine
later this month at Michigan.
Team president J.D. Gibbs
didnt rule out a potential group
effort between JGR and Toyota
onanengine for Hamlinat Michi-
gan, another strong track for
Hamlin and a critical place for
him to lock up a spot in the
Chase.
Then theres David Ragan and
Brad Keselowski, who both have
wins this seasonandrankoutside
the top10 inpoints. Raganis16th
in the standings, while Keselow-
ski, at 21st, would have to move
inside the top 20 to be eligible for
a wild card.
Both drivers are currently rac-
ing Menard for the second wild
card, but that fieldcouldwidenat
any time. Tony Stewart and Dale
Earnhardt Jr. are ranked ninth
and 10th in the standings, but
both are winless. Theyd make
the Chase if they can stay inside
the top10 inpoints, but without a
win, they have zero breathing
room.
Then theres Clint Bowyer and
Greg Biffle, who are also winless
but ranked ahead of Menard in
the standings. Should either grab
a win over the next six weeks,
theyd instantly move into the
Chase field.
Jeff Gordon, ranked seventh in
points withtwovictories this sea-
son, isnt sure what to expect
over this final stretch of summer
racing.
Right now, if youre outside
the Chase or you dont think you
have a shot at it, especially with
the wins now, that definitely
adds another element toit totake
more risks, Gordon said. If
youre 10 laps short (on gas),
thats not risk. Thats stupidity.
To me, its risk versus reward.
The further back you get in
the points, the more risky you
can get.
Some might consider the wild
card to be nothing more than
manufactured drama by NAS-
CAR, which announced the new
element before the start of this
season. Maybe it is artificial, but
its added an element to the com-
petition and kept drivers in con-
tention who otherwise wouldnt
dare dream of a championship at
this point of the season.
Its right in front of us if we
continue to run well, Ragan
said. Its going to be a dogfight
for points.

1 p.m., Sunday, ESPN
LATROBE Another Pitts-
burgh Steeler has some strong
words for Roger Goodell.
Less than three weeks after
linebacker James Harrison
made some inflammatory com-
ments about the NFL commis-
sioner to Mens Journal maga-
zine, safety Ryan Clark on
Wednesday criticized the power
Goodell holds, particularly
when it comes to disciplining
players.
How often did you hear
(former commissioner) Paul
Tagliabues name throughout
the season? Clark said. I think
(Goodell has) decided to make
himself a major part of this
game. I dont know if he had
some type of high school
dreams or Pop Warner dreams
of being an NFL football player,
but hes made himself the NFL.
He is the most popular or
infamous commissioner in
sports right now, you know?
Maybe thats what he wanted to
be. We know he doesnt work for
us, he doesnt work with us.
Clark added that Steelers
players likely will not vote to
ratify the new collective bargain-
ing agreement unless Goodells
power is limited when it comes
to fines or suspensions.
He wants to do it his way
the same way that he has taken
over most of this game, Clark
said.
Clark took issue when he was
asked if he had spoken to Steel-
ers president Art Rooney II
about lobbying Goodell on the
players behalf. Im talking
about the commissioner not
my owner, Clark said. Our
owner is a good owner.
The line of questioning ulti-
mately led to Clark to become
agitated with the reporter who
asked it, a Pittsburgh radio
talk-show host. The two ex-
changed words and stood chest-
to-chest before team personnel
and players broke it up.
EAGLES
BETHLEHEM The Eagles
agreed to one-year contracts
with defensive tackles Anthony
Hargrove and Derek Landri on
Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, Eagles lost
two defensive tackles for an
indeterminate amount of time.
Trevor Laws injured his hip and
was carted off the field, and
Mike Patterson had a seizure
and was hospitalized.
Hargrove, a third-round pick
of the Rams in 2004, has played
in 87 regular-season games,
starting 25. He was suspended
twice while with the Buffalo
Bills for violating the NFLs
substance abuse policy, for four
games in 2007 and then for the
entire 2008 season.
He returned to the NFL in
2009 and had a career-high five
sacks in 16 games, six starts, for
the Super Bowl-champion New
Orleans Saints. Hargrove played
14 games last season for the
Saints.
Landri spent his first three
seasons with the Jaguars, who
drafted him out of Notre Dame
in 2007.
He was claimed off waivers by
the Panthers late in 2009 and
started all 16 games for Carolina
last year, the first starts of his
career. He had three sacks last
year and has six in 51 career
games.
GIANTS
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
The New York Giants are no
longer interested in trading
disgruntled defensive end Osi
Umenyiora.
In an e-mail sent Wednesday
to Umenyioras agent Tony
Agnone, the Giants ordered him
to cease speaking to other
teams about a trade, which
would require that the Giants
receive a first-round draft pick as
compensation. Umenyiora,
dissatisfied with a current con-
tract that will pay him $7.1
million over the remaining two
seasons of a six-year, $41 million
extension he signed in 2005,
was reportedly looking for a
six-year deal in excess of $10
million per year.
The Broncos, Ravens, Sea-
hawks, Rams, and Chargers
were reportedly interested in
the pass-rusher who finished
last season with 11
1
2 sacks
but none were willing to give up
a first-rounder.
CHIEFS
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. A person
with knowledge of the deal says
former All-Pro fullback LeRon
McClain has agreed to a one-
year contract with the Kansas
City Chiefs.
The person spoke to The
Associated Press on Wednesday
on condition of anonymity be-
cause the team had yet to an-
nounce the move. McClain is
expected to provide a short-
yardage and blocking option to
go with a group of speedy run-
ning backs that includes Tho-
mas Jones and Jamaal Charles.
McClain is a former fourth-
round draft pick who spent four
seasons with the Baltimore
Ravens. The two-time Pro Bowl
selection was voted first-team
All-Pro after running for 902
yards and 10 touchdowns in
2008.
The 260-pound fullbacks
work load had dwindled the
past two years. He ran for just
180 yards in 2009 before carry-
ing 28 times for 85 yards last
season.
LIONS
ALLEN PARK, Mich. De-
troit Lions rookie defensive
tackle Nick Fairley had surgery
on his injured left foot Wednes-
day.
The team said in a statement
that he will miss a significant
portion of training camp. De-
troit opens the preseason at
home against Cincinnati on
Aug. 12. The Lions start the
regular season at Tampa Bay on
Sept. 11.
Fairley, the Lombardi Trophy
winner at national champion
Auburn last season, was injured
Monday and in a walking cast a
day later after X-rays showed no
significant damage.
He was sent to Charlotte,
N.C., for further evaluation
Wednesday morning, and Dr.
Bob Anderson performed the
surgery. The team did not pro-
vide details on the procedure.
The 6-foot-4, 298-pound Fair-
ley was drafted 13th in Aprils
draft to complement a defensive
line that includes Ndamukong
Suh and Kyle Vanden Bosch.
Fairley had 11
1
2 sacks last
season and a total of 24 stops
behind the line for Auburn.
His progress, already slowed
by the lockout, is now on hold
again.
Detroit has already had to put
defensive back Alphonso Smith
and offensive tackle Jeff Backus
on the active/non-football injury
list. Smith broke his left foot,
and Backus is recovering from a
pectoral injury.
COWBOYS
SAN ANTONIO Cowboys
cornerback Terence Newman
has an apparent groin injury.
Newman got hurt during
practice Wednesday, walking
gingerly off the field after get-
ting tangled with a receiver
during pass coverage drills.
After staying on the ground
briefly, Newman slowly walked
across the field to the sideline,
where he crouched before being
tended to by a trainer. He left
the field shortly after that.

NEWYORKWithyet anoth-
er deadline approaching, NFL
players and owners still are de-
bating drug testing, benefits and
the player conduct policy disci-
plinary process as they work to
complete the collective bargain-
ing agreement.
The NFLand the players union
were discussing those issues
Wednesday, with the league year
scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. to-
day. Thats when players who
signed new contracts will be al-
lowed to practice for the first
time if the CBA is approved.
Among the players concerns is
how HGH testing would be im-
plemented, who would oversee it
and what would be a fair appeals
process. Blood tests are used to
look for HGH, while urine tests
are usedtodetect other substanc-
es that violate the leagues policy.
Commissioner Roger Goodell
reiterated the expectation an
agreement would be finalized on
time.
Thats certainly our inten-
tion, he said Wednesday while
visiting the Carolina Panthers. If
we can reach agreement and sign
the collective bargaining agree-
ment by tomorrow morning, we
certainly expect for the new
league year to start and the play-
ers to be out here tomorrow
morning.
Giants longsnapper ZakDeOs-
sie calls Thursday a soft dead-
line but says its looking very
optimistic that the CBA will be
signed on time.
Steelers safety Ryan Clark
wasnt so sure.
De Smith is still working,
Clark said of the NFLPA execu-
tive director, and were trying to
get this figuredout. But its not an
absolute that guys will be at prac-
tice tomorrow.
Following the 4
1
2-month lock-
out, all 32 teams are counting on
having those players with new
contracts at practice on Thurs-
day, with a few clubs moving
back the starting time of their
workouts. Packers general man-
ager Ted Thompson said he
doesnt even want to entertain
the thought of a delay.
The first thing thats going to
happen is Im going to jump out
of a building somewhere,
Thompson joked.
Dallas player rep Jason Witten
wasnt surprised that another
deadline was being faced.
We knew that was going to
take a little bit of time (with)
some of those issues, Witten
said. But, gosh, a lot of works
gone into it to get to this point;
hate to see it slip.
Players, owners looking to resolve last-minute issues
By BARRY WILNER
AP Pro Football Writer
CHICAGO Chicago Black-
hawks general manager Stan
Bowman doesnt consider for-
ward Patrick Sharp to be a good
player.
Bowman ranks Sharp, who
led the Blackhawks with 34
goals last season, as a promi-
nent player. So Bowman made
it a priority to sign Sharp to a
five-year contract extension, a
move the team completed and
announced Wednesday.
The teamdidnt release terms
of the deal.
The 29-year-old Sharp tied for
eighth in the league in goals last
seasonandwas thirdonthe club
with a career-high 71 points. He
added three goals and two as-
sists in the playoffs as the Black-
hawks lost to Vancouver in the
first round following a Stanley
Cup win the previous year.
Sharps numbers would have
beenbetter hadhenot suffereda
left knee injury in a game in
Phoenix on March 20. He mis-
sed seven games, then returned
with three games left in the reg-
ular season to help the Black-
hawks squeak into the playoffs
on the final day of the season.
Sharp said on Wednesday he
has fully recovered from the in-
jury. The contract extension is a
perfect cure from persistent
speculation about his future
with the Blackhawks.
Getting this out of the way
should clear up things for me
and allows me to just show up
and be a good player and great
teammate and to not focus on
the individual stuff, Sharp said.
Bowman also wanted to get
the deal done.
Especially with Patrick, we
didnt want it
(contract
talks) to
stretchintothe
start of the reg-
ular season,
Bowman said.
Hes just a ve-
ry important
part of this team.
So to have him always be
houndedby questions ... Its part
of beinga professional athlete to
deal with distractions, but it can
become a distraction in a nega-
tive way.
Sharps current contract is
heading into its final year and
will pay him $4.2 million in
2011-12. Bowman has repeated-
ly said he wants to keep the core
of his team intact, and now
Sharp has a long-term agree-
ment along with stars such as
Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane,
Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook,
Marian Hossa and goalie Corey
Crawford.
Sharp was acquired in a trade
from Philadelphia in December
2005 when the Blackhawks
were inthe middle of a stretchof
missing the playoffs nine times
in 10 years.
It wasnt the best of teams,
Sharp said. We were out of the
playoffs by Christmastime a lot
of the time. But it gave me anop-
portunity.
Sharp blossomed as a top of-
fensive player in Chicago,
thanks to ample ice time he
probably wouldnt have gotten
on Philadelphias deeper roster.
When the Blackhawks won the
Cup in 2010 their first since
1961Sharppitchedin11goals
and 11 assists in 22 playoff
games.

SOUTHWILLIAMSPORT
Throwing too many pitches at a
young age is the primary cause
of arm injuries among youth
baseball players, a University of
North Carolina study released
Wednesday shows.
The study done in collabora-
tion with Little League Baseball
and Softball, and USA Baseball,
concluded there was no clear
evidence that throwing break-
ing pitches at an early age was
an injury risk factor.
Little League president Ste-
phen Keener said the findings
dont support a ban on breaking
balls for young pitchers. The
study stressed the importance
of pitch counts and educating
players about potential risks in
throwing in multiple leagues.
Little League called the re-
searchthefirst substantivework
in the area. Researchers also
said it was important for doc-
tors, trainers and coaches to
stress proper stretching, warm-
up and postgame cool-down
routines.
A ban on breaking balls
would not be simple to put into
practice, Keener said in a state-
ment. With such a wide range
of aptitude and ability, its prac-
tically impossible to judge if any
youth pitcher intended to throw
a curveball or if thats just how
the ball came out of the pitchers
hand.
Little League does have a
pitch-count system intended to
reduce wear on the arms of
youth pitchers.
Funding for the five-year
study that began in 2006 was
provided through a grant from
the Yawkey Foundation, named
after the family that formerly
owned the Boston Red Sox.
Findings were released two
weeks before the start of the Lit-
tle League World Series, which
begins Aug. 18inSouthWilliam-

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Notre
Dame has reinstated wide receiv-
er Michael Floyd to the football
teamfour months after his arrest
on drunken driving charges.
Coach Brian Kelly suspended
Floyd a day after his arrest. Kelly
saidWednesday that he was com-
fortable with Floyds return be-
cause the senior has shown per-
sonal growth.
I am pleased with the pro-
gress Michael has made since
March, Kellysaidonthe schools
Web site. Thats why I am com-
fortable reinstating him to our
football team. Michael knows
that he must continue on this
positive track.
The 21-year-old Floyd pleaded
guilty in June to misdemeanor
charges and was sentenced to a
year of probation. He was arrest-
ed about 3 a.m. March 20 after
running a stop sign a block from
the schools main entrance. Pros-
ecutors say a breath test showed
Floyd had a blood-alcohol level of
0.19 percent, more than double
Indianas legal limit for driving.
Floyd holds the school record
for touchdown catches (28) and
ranks second in school history in
catches (171). Before his arrest,
he had decided to return to
school instead of entering the
NFL draft.
The last four months have
been most the humbling stretch
of time in my life, Floyd said on
UND.com. I embarrassed my-
self, my family, the university, my
football team and many many
more people. I know it will take
time to earn the trust and confi-
dence from everyone I let down
last spring but I am prepared to
do so ...
Notre Dame begins fall camp
on Saturday. The Irish finished
8-5 in Kellys first season a year
ago, includinga SunBowl victory
over Miami.
In June, St. Joseph County Ma-
gistrate Brian Steinke gave Floyd
a one-year jail sentence that was
suspended as part of a plea agree-
ment. He also said Floyd cannot
drive for 90 days and when he
does, he must have an ignition
device installed on his vehicle for
six months that wont allow it to
start if his blood-alcohol level is
too high.
Floyd was fined $200 and or-
dered to attend a victim impact
panel to hear from people whose
family members were killed in
drunken driving accidents.
It is Floyds third brush with
the law regarding alcohol.
Floyd was cited for underage
consumption of alcohol on May
15, 2009, inhis homestateof Min-
nesota, and pleaded guilty
throughahearingofficer amonth
later.

Southwest earnings
Hows that AirTran deal working
out? Southwest Airlines will
issue its first earnings report
since it bought the smaller
airline in May. Investors want to
see how much AirTran is helping
Southwests profit. They also
want to hear Southwests fore-
cast for the rest of this year.
Once the busy vacation travel
season is over, it may be harder
for airlines to fill seats espe-
cially since the economy has
been slowing this year.
A check on consumer spending
Retailers likely got a break from the weather last month.
When they release sales figures for July, the numbers are
expected to show that hot weather sent shoppers in
search of discounted
summer merchandise and
the air conditioning in
stores and malls. Sales
from stores open at least a
year, the standard for mea-
suring retailers strength,
are expected to rise 4 per-
cent. But retailers may warn
that back-to-school busi-
ness may be weak.
A July jobs report preview?
The Labor Departments weekly
count of people who applied for
unemployment benefits comes
out a day before its report on July
employment. So economists and
investors will try to glean any-
thing they can about the number
of jobs created and last month.
The weekly numbers have been
fluctuating. They fell below
400,000 the week ended July 23.
But theyre expected to be back
above that milestone in the latest
report.

Comcast sees profit jump
Comcast, the countrys largest cable
TV company, beat expectations with its
second-quarter results, helped by the
newly acquired NBC Universal busi-
ness.
The Philadelphia-based company
reported net income of $1.02 billion, or
37 cents per share, for the April to June
period. Thats up 16 percent from $884
million, or 31 cents per share, a year
ago.
Revenue rose 51 percent to $14.3

billion. Revenue from last years quar-

P&G foresees no growth
Procter & Gamble Co. Chief Exec-
utive Robert McDonald says his com-
pany is preparing for a period of little
or no economic growth in developed
countries.
McDonald told reporters Wednesday
in Singapore that hes concerned about
the lack of growth in the U.S. He said
his companys sales from October last
year through to March this year in
North America, Western Europe and
Japan were flat.
P&G is scheduled to announce its
April-June earnings Friday.
BofA may cut loan principal
Bank of America Corp. is pursuing a
settlement that could reduce loan bal-
ances for struggling homeowners in
exchange for a release from legal
claims against the Charlotte bank, a
person familiar with the matter said
Wednesday.
The talks are separate from ongoing
discussions between five major lenders,
including Bank of America, and federal
officials and state attorneys general. Its
unclear when either set of talks will
conclude and whether they will result
in agreements.
Metro unemployment rises
Unemployment rose in more than 90
percent of U.S. cities in June, mirroring
a national slowdown in hiring.
The Labor Department says the
unemployment rate rose in 345 large

was unchanged in seven. Thats worse
than May, when the rate rose in only
210 cities and a sharp reversal from
April, when unemployment actually
fell in nearly all metro areas.
The rate jumped to 9.2 percent in
June in the area that includes Luzerne
County, matching the national rate.
Water company profit up
Aqua America Inc. reported Wednes-
day that second-quarter net income
increased 26 percent to $37.6 million,
or 27 cents per share.
The Bryn Mawr company said earn-
ings were boosted by a one-time $3.5
million state tax benefit from the 100
percent bonus depreciation allowed
under a federal tax-relief act. Without
that, income increased 14 percent to
$34.1 million, or 25 cents a share.
The company said quarterly revenue
increased 5.5 percent from $178.4 mil-
lion last year to $188.2 million this
year.

VIDEO GAMES
used to be a lot more
fun.
I remember stay-
ing up until the wee
hours of the morning
playing Wing Com-
mander, Master of
Orion, Myst and any number of
other memorable titles.
Sure, they had crummy graphics by
todays standards, but the game play
was top-notch.
Then, around the time that we
started getting decent 3D graphics,
something changed.
Games began to shift away from
campy or corny elements and focus
on making things pretty. Or the devel-
opers spent too much time trying to
make a game both beautiful and play-
able and it ended up being canceled
altogether.
It seemed like so much went into
graphics that, in some cases, a lot of
what made a game fun to play went
away. A case in point: Master of
Orion. The first two installments
were brilliant, beautiful, and partic-
ularly with the second installment,
were both epic in scope and some-
what quirky. Then along came Mas-
ter of Orion 3. The developers prom-
ised fans the world.
What they got was a gutted project.
They tried to do too much, with too
little. And, like any other bad sequel,
it killed that franchise.
Other video game series, particular-
ly Wing Commander, still have an
extremely healthy and devoted fan
base, but for some reason nobodys
done a Wing Commander game for
years. The game play was there. The
graphics were good, too. But, for the
past few years, no one seemed to care
about truly innovative video game
development.
That may be starting to change.
Some recent titles have abandoned
their all-encompassing infatuation
with pretty graphics and gone back to
their roots.
A game called The Next Big
Thing, a quirky adventure title, was
the first Ive played in a while that
actually made me laugh out loud. It
had a distinctly cartoon-esque quality,
it was bizarre but it had character.
Another, the whimsically titled
Gratuitous Space Battles, basically
has no plot, but lets you pit random
spaceships against one another. Its
hard to articulate what makes it so
much fun, but it is. Its got just
enough depth to be diverting, while
still being light enough that you can
easily walk away if you want.
Even so-called shooters are start-
ing to get it right. The Dead Space
series, for example, is unmistakably a
violent game, but the plot is compell-
ing and its probably the most fright-
ening and immersive game Ive played
in a while.
A newly released game, L.A.
Noire, promises to be another such
title. It also features extremely real-
istic graphics, but follows the trend of
having an excellent plot that captures
players and reels them in.
Whatever the case, the world of
gaming is in flux, and, after some-
thing of a dry spell, some interesting
things seem to be headed our way.

NEW YORK -- Visits to Wal-
Marts U.S. locations open at
least a year dropped 2.6 percent
from February through June, ac-
cording to an internal memo,
while rivals are attracting cus-
tomers.
Those Wal-Mart stores had
82.8 million fewer visits through
the first five months of the com-
panys fiscal year thanayear earli-
er, says the memo, which was ob-
tained by Bloomberg News. Wal-
Mart doesnt disclose those traf-
fic numbers, and David Tovar, a
spokesman, declined to com-
ment on the memo.
Wal-Marts plan to recapture
customers by returning thou-
sands of products to U.S. store
shelves has failed to reverse a de-
cline in foot traffic at the worlds
largest retailer, said Jeff Stinson,
an analyst at Cleveland Research
Co. Thats primarilybecauseWal-
Marts core low-income custom-
ers are shoppingless andgoingto
other retailers more often, ac-
cording to two recent shopper
surveys.
Wal-Mart is restoring an aver-
age of 8,500 products to its stores
to lure back shoppers still
pinched by persistent unemploy-
ment and gas prices that have ris-
en 36 percent in the past year.
Sales in U.S. Wal-Mart stores
open at least 12 months have de-
clined for eight straight quarters.
Wal-Marts traffic decline
comes as some of its direct com-
petitors are getting more visits.
Dollar General Corp., the big-
gest dollar discount chain in the
U.S., has increased traffic for 13
straight quarters, the company
said June 1. At Target Corp., traf-
fic rose for six consecutive quar-
ters before falling in the first
quarter of 2011.
The two shopper surveys, from
Morgan Stanley and retail con-
sultancy WSL Strategic Retail,
found that the removal of items
from stores in 2009 to reduce
clutter wasnt among the top rea-
sons why shoppers are visiting
Wal-Mart less frequently.
Many shoppers dont believe
Wal-Marts prices are the lowest
anymore, the surveys found.
These consumers are shifting
more of their spending to dollar
stores, Target, and supermarkets
such as Krogers, WSL said.

Internet services company
Web.com is purchasing the
larger Network Solutions, a
domain registrar and website
services company with an of-
fice in Butler Township.
Publicly traded Web.com
is paying$450 millionincash
plus 18 million shares of
stock, for a total valueof $560
million.
Network Solutions is cur-
rently majority owned by pri-
vate equity firm General At-
lantic LLC.
The purchase furthers
Web.coms position as a pro-
vider of Internet services to
small andmediumsizedbusi-
nesses. The company pur-
chased Kingston Township-
based Solid Cactus in April
2009. No purchase price was
announced for that sale.
While Network Solutions
is principally known as a do-
main registrar and website
host, in recent years it has of-
fered website design and
marketing services. Solid
Cactus built its reputation as
a website developer for small
businesses.
This transaction repre-
sents a unique opportunity to
dramatically expand our
scale, add further momen-
tumtoWeb.coms alreadyim-
proving top-line growth, and
further expand our market
share as the nationally recog-
nizedgo-toprovider of online
marketing solutions specifi-
cally tailored to small and
medium-sized businesses,
said David Brown, chairman
and CEO of Web.com in a re-
lease.
The combined company
will have approximately 3
million paying customers
and 9 million domain names
in its portfolio, the release
stated. A cost savings from
the combination is projected
at $30 million.
The announcement was
made after the close of trad-
ing Wednesday. Web.com
shares were at $11.40 per
share in after-hours trading,
up 32 percent fromthe close.
The transaction, which is
subject to Web.comsharehol-
der approval, is expected to
be completed in the fall.

Staff and wire reports
WASHINGTON Service business-
es such as restaurants, hotels and finan-
cial companies experienced their weak-
est growth in 17 months in July.
The report Wednesday fromthe Insti-
tute for Supply Management confirms
other data that show the economy is
struggling two years after the recession
officially ended.
The trade group of purchasing exec-
utives said its index for services compa-
nies fell to 52.7, from 53.3 in June. Any
reading above 50 indicates expansion.
A slumping service sector put Wall
Street on track for another wild day of
trading. The DowJones industrial aver-
age fell more than 150 points after the
report was released. But a late-day rally
erased all the earlier losses, and the
Dowclosedup29points toendaneight-
day losing streak.
The ISM index covers 90 percent of
the work force. It reached a five-year
high of 59.7 in February, but has fallen
since then. The July reading was the
lowest since February 2010.
New orders to service companies, an
indication of future business, increased
but at the slowest pace since August
2009, according to the ISM report. Ser-
vices firms are still hiringmore workers,
the report said. But employment
growth dipped in July.
The report suggests that the econo-
my is not slipping into a recession but
instead that growth is very weak, said
Paul Dales, aneconomist at Capital Eco-
nomics.
Separately, the Commerce Depart-
ment reported that businesses cut or-
ders for airplanes, autos and heavy ma-
chinery in June. Factory orders dropped
0.8 percent, the second decline in three
months.
Demandfor durable goods fell 1.9 per-
cent in June. Durable goods are prod-
ucts that are expected to last at least
three years.

nearly 90 percent of the countrys work force. It expanded in July at the lowest rate since February 2010.

What happened?
... To hopes
for a stronger
economy?
... To the relief rally
following the debt
deal in Washington?
... To the
earnings rally?
When job growth stalled
in May and June, financial
analysts said the economy
would recover in the sec-
ond half of 2011. Gas
prices would fall and the
impact of the March 11
earthquake in Japan would
lessen. Investors stopped
believing after the govern-
ment said Friday that the
economy was weaker than
expected in the first half.
Monday brought the Insti-
tute for Supply Manage-
ments report on manufac-
turing in July. It showed
that the growth rate at the
nations factories was the
weakest in two years.
Some economists are now
lowering their forecasts.
Investors were selling last
week on fears that Congress and
President Obama wouldnt reach
a deal to raise the nations debt
ceiling and that the U.S. would
default on its debt. Lawmakers
agreed to cut $3.3 trillion in
government spending. But
ratings agency Standard &
Poors warned that without a $4
trillion deal, the U.S. might lose
its top AAA debt rating. Investors
are worried that a downgrade is
possible. The ISM report also
helped kill the relief rally. Another
concern: While lawmakers
haggled, worried businesses put
off hiring and families bought
fewer home. That could hurt the
economy as much as the
earthquake in Japan, says KBW
strategist Frederick Cannon.
Second-quarter earnings
reports started out strong.
Companies like Apple and
Coca-Cola reported income
that was better than expected.
In mid-July, the S&P 500 was
up 2 percent for the month.
That changed after companies
began to express doubts about
the economy. Manufacturer 3M
said higher gas prices were
holding back consumer spend-
ing. UPS warned the uneven
economy could hurt its results.
And Procter & Gamble said it
expects almost no economic
growth in developed countries.
Investors now worry that
companies may need to lower
third-quarter earnings estimates
because of the economy, says
Howard Silverblatt of S&P.
On July 7, the Dow Jones industrial average was less than 100 points away from its high for
2011 of 12,810.54. Second-quarter earnings reports looked good. Economists were optimistic
about the second half of the year. By Wednesdays close, the Dow had fallen eight out of nine
days. It lost 828 points, or 6.5 percent, and closed at 11,896.44. A look at what happened ...

The phone companys quarterly
profit shrunk 78 percent as it wrote
down the value of Qwest, and it
slashed its earnings forecast.
The IT services and outsourcing
company withdrew its 2011 financial
guidance, citing problematic proj-
ects in North America.
Quarterly profit rose as consumers
used credit and debit cards more,
and the company added banks to its
issuer list.
An afternoon rally drove the Dow Jones industrial
average to its first rise in nine days. The Dow was
down as many as 166 points in morning trading
after a report showed the service sector grew in
July at its slowest pace in 17 months. But a 2 per-
cent rise for Coca-Cola helped lift the Dow by
29.82 points, or 0.3 percent, to close at 11,896.44.
The S&P 500 rose 6.29, or 0.5 percent, to
1,260.34. The Nasdaq rose 23.83, or 0.9 percent,
to 2,693.07.
