DUCK, DUCK, EAGLE: Coach Chip Kelly is
moving up in the bird world. He used to be a
non-aggressive waterfowl fromOregon; now
hes a talon-wielding bird of prey fromSouth
Philly. Figuratively, of course. Kelly debuts
tonight as head coach of the Philadelphia
Eagles with a matchup against the Wash-
ington Redskins. Eagles fans are hoping he
can bring that same high-powered attack
he concocted as coach/ofensive guru of
the Oregon Ducks. Well fnd out at 7 p.m.
on ESPN.
ODD BODKINS: This just in, Wednesday is
Odd Day. Now, before you go out and wear
a watermelon on your head or take up the
ukulele and start singingTiptoe Through
the Tulips, remember its not THAT kind
of odd. Odd Day celebrates a numerical
holiday on which three consecutive odd
numbers make up the date. There was
Jan. 3, 2005 or 1/3/5, the next was March
5, 2007 (3/5/7) and so on. And so, this
Wednesday is 9/11/13 the second last
Odd Day of the century. Celebrate as you
wish. But if it does involve a ukulele, do it far
away fromme.
THEY HAVE TO PUSHTHE PRAMA LOT:
Theyre not knights of the round table,
although they dance whenever theyre able.
They do routines and chorus scenes with
footwork im-pecc-able. They dine well here
on North Main Street, they eat hamand jam
and put on the playSpamalot! OK, that
was bad, but if you want to hear that song
done well, check out the Little Theatre of
Wilkes-Barres presentation of the Monty
Python-inspired musical. Shows are going
on Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and at 3
p.m. Sunday. It is a silly place, and youll
want to go there.
LIL COOKERS: Conventional wisdomholds
if you let kids loose in a kitchen youll end
up with Pop-Tarts soup or chocolate-
favored baloney. Plus, youll get a
mess that makes the old West
Side Landfll look like
Disneyland. But
lets not be so
pessimistic. The
Young Chefs Acad-
emy has declared
that Friday is Kids Take
Over the Kitchen Day
a day to let your
little Mario Batali
help plan and make
dinner. See, if they
trust the kids in the
kitchen, so should you.
BUT WAIT THERES MORE: Do you
like music? And cars? Then, youd
probably enjoy an event called
theMusic and Motors festival,
wouldnt you? Well, Montage
Mountain is willing to take that
one better. This Sunday, theyll
be putting onMusic, Motors
and More On The Mountain.The
all-day event features a host of
bands, including area favorites
The Badlees, a classic car
showand an ethnic food
festival and craft show.
(That would qualify as the
more.) Tickets are $10.

Tens of thousands of residents
protected by the Wyoming Valley
Levee can breathe easier because
the federal government has repaired
most of the damage the system sus-
tained while holding back record-
setting Susquehanna River ood
water two years ago.
Ofcials had been relying on tem-
porary repairs until the work was
completed, though they had repeat-
edly stressed the 15-mile levee sys-
tem would still perform as required
in a ood.
Weve been doing signicant
work along the Wyoming Valley
Levee, and all is going very well.
Weve completed the majority of
the work, said U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers spokeswoman Ashley W.
Roberts.
The most signicant repair was

WASHINGTON The
White House asserted
S u n d a y
that a
c o m -
m o n -
s e n s e
test dic-
tates the
S y r i a n
g o v e r n -
ment is
responsible for a chemi-
cal weapons attack that
President Barack Obama
says demands a U.S. mili-
tary response.
But Obamas top aide
says the administration
lacks irrefutable, beyond-
a-reasonable-doubt evi-
dence that skeptical
Americans, including law-
makers who will start vot-
ing on military action this
week, are seeking.
This is not a court of
law. And intelligence does
not work that way, White
House chief of staff Denis
McDonough said during
his ve-network public
relations blitz Sunday to
build support for limited
strikes against Syrian
President Bashar Assad.
The common-sense
test says he is responsible
for this. He should be held
to account, McDonough
said of the Syrian leader
who for two years has
resisted calls from inside
and outside his country to
step down.
Asked in another
interview about doubt,
McDonough was direct:
No question in my mind.
The U.S., citing intel-
ligence reports, says the
lethal nerve agent sarin
was used in an Aug. 21
attack outside Damascus,
and that 1,429 people
died, including 426 chil-
dren.
The number is higher
than that, said Khalid
Saleh, head of the press
ofce at the anti-Assad
Syrian Coalition who was
in Washington to lobby
lawmakers to authorize
the strikes. Some of those
involved in the attacks
later died in their homes
and opposition leaders
were weighing releasing
a full list of names of the
dead.

Times Leader Correspondent
WILKES-BARRE
Assistant professor of biol-
ogy Linda Gutierrez told 120
undergraduate and graduate
students at Wilkes Universitys
2013 summer commencement
ceremony on Sunday that
dreams can come true, even
the unreachable.
The future is in the hands
of the strong, Gutierrez, a
native of Venezuela who earned
her postdoctorate fellowship at
Yale, said.
Gutierrez added a personal
story about how experts told
her there was no way that she
would receive funding for a
research project she needed
grants for. They told her she
was wasting her time.
Gutierrez replied to them, I
will write anyway.
She did, and received the
necessary funding.
She nalized her address to
the graduates by saying when
something seems impossible,
dare to dream, and it will come
true.
Gutierrez received the
2013 Carpenter Award for
Distinguished Teaching. The
honor was partly based on
Gutierrezs inclusion of under-
graduate students while con-
ducting extensive research in
inammatory bowel disease
and colorectal cancer.
Ashley Keath, of Lebanon,
Pa., received her masters of
science in education degree.
Keath, who teaches fth
grade at the Eastern Lebanon
County School District, stud-
ied under the satellite learning
program.
She said her goal is to nd
alternative ways to reach stu-
dents who are below grade
level. Keath added she may
also return to Wilkes for her
doctorate.
University President Patrick
F. Leahy told the graduates
that commencement is a new
beginning and not an ending.
He also said he wanted them
to remember two main objec-
tives.
The rst is gratitude; to
always express gratitude to all
those who helped them to get
to this day. The second is that
dreams give life meaning.
Leahy concluded with a quote
by Albert Einstein, noting
Imagination is more important
than knowledge.
Heather Taylor, of Piedmont,
Ohio, completed her second
year at Wilkes, and received
her master of arts in creative
writing.
Taylor said she will be back
here (at Wilkes) next year at
this same time to receive her
masters in ne arts degree.
Taylor currently runs the
writing center at Bethany
College in West Virginia. This
degree completes one of her
teaching tracks. Taylor also
made a seven-hour drive back
to Ohio in order to accompany
her mother to the ceremony.
Paget Taylor said she is very
proud of her daughter.
Barbara Di Caprio, of
Mahopac, N.Y., received her
bachelor of science in nurs-
ing from the one-year nursing
program. Di Caprio said she
will now be going home to nd
a job, hopefully in the eld of
oncology.
Di Caprio said Wilkes is a
great school and noted she
also earned her bachelor of sci-
ence in biology there in 2012.
Dawn DAries-Zera of Forty
Fort received her master of
ne arts in creative writing and
quoted Pulitzer Prize winner
Norman Mailer, stating Our
family is a ne tapestry that
must be taken care of, in order
not to unravel.
DAries-Zera said the stu-
dents, family, friends, faculty
and administration are the
tapestry and all are needed to
hold the work together.
DAries-Zera reminded the
graduates to keep your head
above water, and focus on your
goal.

Online retailer igourmet LLC
has launched it mobile website,
m.igourmet.com. The company said
25 percent of its trafc comes from
smartphone users, yet less than 2 per-
cent of total sales come from mobile
visitors.
The site, developed in-house, was
launched in time to prepare for the
fourth-quarter gift basket season, the
company said. The next step is to
develop another version of the site
for larger format electronic tablets,
the company said.

Luzerne County Manager Robert
Lawton has publicly issued a request
for proposals seeking a professional
recruiter to nd applicants for the
three remaining division head posi-
tions overseeing budget and nance,
human services and operational ser-
vices.
Interested recruiters must submit
proposals by Sept. 24.
According to the request, the cho-
sen search rm must work with the
county to develop desired quali-
cations, necessary experience and
recommended compensation for the
three positions and then provide a list
of qualied candidates to the county
within 45 days.
The proposal projects the rm will
be seeking applicants between Oct.
11 and Nov. 15, which means a new
budget and nance division head
would not be hired before the upcom-
ing 2014 budget process. Senior
accountant Brian Swetz has been
serving as interim budget/nance
head since June.
A newly created
election ofce deputy
director position pay-
ing $35,000 has been
posted on the career
opportunities section
of the county website,
www.luzernecounty.

County Controller
Walter Mitchell is
examining how money
is withdrawn from the
sheriffs ofce prisoner
transport fund in light of a former
employees recent removal of $375
from the fund.
The fund is supposed to cover tolls,
gas and other miscellaneous expens-
es. Mitchell said he wants to deter-
mine if additional checks and bal-
ances are warranted to prevent theft.
Don Lasoski resigned as sheriff
lieutenant after acknowledging he
took the cash for a personal issue
with plans to repay it before anyone
noticed. Another worker performing
a routine check detected and report-
ed the missing money.
Council will meet at 6:30 p.m.
Tuesday in the council meeting room
at the courthouse.
The agenda includes a vote by
council to initiate litigation against
D.A. Nolt Inc., seeking compensa-
tion for water damage to the court-
house interior in September 2011.
The Berlin, N.J.-based contractor
handled waterproong of the court-
house domes, which involved strip-
ping worn coating off the domes
terra cotta tiles and applying a new
protective coating. The water dam-
age occurred while the tiles were
stripped.
The administration will update
council Tuesday on banking consoli-
dation plans. Home rule called for a
reduction in the countys 70 to 100
bank accounts, and the administra-
tion sought proposals seeking one
banking institution.
Final approval of an ordi-
nance calling for a minimum 37.5-
hour county work week also is on
Tuesdays agenda. The switch to
more hours must be negotiated
into union contracts as they expire.
Lawton has said he will reduce staff
to compensate for the increased cost
paying some employees to work
more hours.
Councilman Harry Haas pro-
posal to hold a security summit on
crime also will be discussed Tuesday.
Haas cancelled a summit he had
scheduled last week after some coun-
cil members said he didnt obtain
authorization from council to hold
the event.

Restored Church event features
prayer, scripture reading and
music
CAMILLE FIOTI
Times Leader Correspondent
WILKES-BARRE An open can of
Monster energy drink sat next to a dog-
eared Bible in the corner of a wooden
pewinthe former First UnitedMethodist
Church on Sunday.
The drink seemed out of place in an
already high-energy environment, but
the Bible was one of many in the hands of
nearly 400 people who came to the grand
opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony
at the new Restored Church on Public
Square on Sunday.
As they cheered a Christian rock band
with whistles and hoots, worshippers of
all ages and backgrounds sang along to
contemporary gospel music.
Alternating between prayer, scripture
reading and music, pastors Tim Walker,
24, and Dan Nichols, 25, explained what
the Restored Church is all about to the
attentive crowd.
If youre here and you feel broken and
cant bear it any longer, I have great news
for you, said Nichols. There is hope in
Jesus Christ. Jesus is the real deal and he
can radically change your life, but it takes
faith and understanding.
Lacey Payne, who oversees Restored
Kids, a program for children from infant
to 10 years old, told of her journey to
accept Jesus in her life. Raised as a
Methodist in the tiny town of Springville,
Payne says she stopped going to church
in high school and lived for me.
At the urging of a cousin, Payne said
she started by praying for her uncle who
had a heart attack and another cousin
who was killed in a car accident during
the summer of 2010. That was when she
attended one of the Restored Churchs
rst gatherings at another Springville
home.
Her initial fears of being judged were
dissolved when she met Walker and
Nichols. Choking back tears, Payne said
accepting Jesus has changed her life.
Ive just grown so much being a part
of this church, the young woman said.
Its changed the way I live. My life has
purpose, hope and faith.
Joanne Dougherty, 55, of Wilkes-
Barre, said she rst heard Walker preach
two years ago, when she was a volunteer
at the Wyoming Valley Rescue Mission,
a spiritual outreach program at the
Sherman Hills Apartment Complex.
The truth of the gospel is preached
here in an amazing way, said Dougherty,
noting she has been a born-again
Christian for 25 years.
In addition to Sunday services at the
church on Franklin Street, The Restored
Church holds several smaller, two-hour
house services duringthe weekinWilkes-
Barre, Mountain Top and Forty Fort.
Were here to tell you the truth
because we love you and we love this
city, said Nichols. We want everyone in
this city and world to have hope again, to
have freedom. We are in a broken, fallen
city that desperately needs hope.

church, including house church locations

Receiving a message of hope
Americas frst settlers adapted cooking with the times
EILEEN GODIN
Times Leader Correspondent
FORTY FORT Imagine
following a recipe calling for
a portion of butter the size of
an egg or a small handful of
our. These were once com-
monplace cooking directions,
said Mary Babcock.
Babcock, a registered dieti-
tian, presented Colonial
Cooking, Foods, Recipes
and Cooking Equipment
on Sunday at the Forty Fort
Meeting House. This free lec-
ture is the rst in a series of
three the Forty Fort Meeting
House Preservation Fund
committee will hold this fall.
Babcock, from Laurel Run,
has been a dietitian for 52
years. She said when she rst
started researching colonial
cooking she found a lot of
information and needed to
focus on one aspect.
I decided to focus on veg-
etables and fruits because
Americans still do not eat
enough to this day, she said.
Starting with the rst
settlement in Jamestown in
1650, Babcock said, the set-
tlers were familiar with red
beets, cabbages, lentils and
potatoes, which they had in
Europe. In America, they
found corn, squash in the
form of pumpkins and lima
beans.
This meant they had to
adapt and learn how to pre-
pare these foods to survive.
With the lack of modern
conveniences, settlers dried
many of their foods in order to
preserve them. This method,
she said, removes the vitamin
C, so illnesses such as scurvy
became a problem.
About 50 percent of the
settlers died of malnutrition
and sickness, she said.
Pumpkins today are mostly
eaten as pumpkin bread or
pies. Back then, they were
eaten as a vegetable to sur-
vive. Pumpkins were very
abundant, she said. Their
vines would help protect the
soil.
In the northeast, grains
such as wheat did not grow
well, so corn and rye were the
primary grains used, Babcock
said.
Eating corn on the cob was
not done back then, she said.
Their teeth were too weak
to eat it off the cob. Instead
the corn would be grounded
down to make breads, Johnny
Bread, succotash, corn meal
mush and Indian Corn Sticks.
Honey or maple syrup were
the sweeteners available then.
Babcock said the original
recipes for corn bread never
called for sugar. Even today,
many New England recipes
for corn bread are sugarless,
she said.
Throughout her research,
a common thread found were
that the directions for cooking
vegetables all stressed cook-
ing them just long enough so
the natural color was not lost.
If the color is lost and the
vegetable is soft not crisp, the
vitamins are gone, she said.
We should follow this
advice now, Babcock said.
The cooking equipment
during colonial times was
mainly a cast iron kettle held
over a re with a tripod or a
bee-hive-shaped brick oven.
The only running water
was from a creek, she said.
To prepare the oven for
baking, Babcock said, colo-
nialists would line the oor
of the oven with bark, then
lay kindling over that and
then some leaves. She said
she read the oven was to be
lit and left to burn for two
hours before use.
Since temperature gauges
were not invented yet, cooks
of the time tested to see if
their ovens were hot enough
by sticking their arms in to
see if the hair on the arm got
singed, she said.
Fred Adams/For The Times Leader
Mary Babcock lectured Sunday at the Forty Fort Meeting House on colonial
cooking. She said she decided to focus on the use of fruits and vegetables
during colonial times, things that people still do not get enough of today.

DELAWARE TWP., N.J.
While his eighth-grade class-
mates took state standard-
ized tests this spring, Tucker
Richardson woke up late
and played basketball in his
Delaware Township driveway.
Tuckers parents, Wendy
and Will, are part of a small
but growing number of par-
ents nationwide who are
ensuring their children do not
participate in standardized
testing. They are opposed to
the practice for myriad rea-
sons, including the stress they
believe it brings on young stu-
dents, discomfort with tests
being used to gauge teacher
performance, fear that corpo-
rate inuence is overriding
education and concern that
test prep is narrowing cur-
ricula down to the minimum
needed to pass an exam.
Imjust opposed to the way
high-stakes testing is being
used to evaluate teachers, the
way its being used to dene
whats happening in class-
rooms, said Will Richardson,
an educational consultant
and former teacher. These
tests are not meant to evalu-
ate teachers. Theyre meant to
nd out what kids know.
The opt-out movement, as it
is called, is small but growing.
It has been brewing for sev-
eral years via word of mouth
and social media, especially
through Facebook. The Long
Island opt-out info Facebook
page has more than 9,200 mem-
bers, many of them rallying at
a Port Jefferson Station, N.Y.,
high school last month after a
group of principals called this
years state tests and their
low scores a debacle.
In Washington, D.C., a
group of parents and stu-
dents protested outside the
Department of Education.
Students and teachers at a
Seattle high school boycotted
a standardized test, leading
the district superintendent to
declare that city high schools
have the choice to deem it
optional. In Oregon, students
organized a campaign per-
suading their peers to opt
out of tests, and a group of
students in Providence, R.I.,
dressed like zombies and
marched in front of the State
House to protest a require-
ment that students must
achieve a minimum score on a
state test in order to graduate.
For many parents and stu-
dents, there have been few to
no consequences to opting out
of testing. Most parents are
choosing to take their young-
er children out of testing, not
older students for whom it is
a graduation requirement. Its
unclear if things will change
when the Common Core
Curriculum and the standard-
ized tests that will accompany
it are implemented in the
2014-15 school year.
Some states were granted
waivers for No Child Left
Behind, which requires dis-
tricts to have at least 95 per-
cent of students participate in
standardized testing or be at
risk of losing funding.
Maria Ferguson of the
Center on Education Policy
said she thinks the practice of
parents pulling their kids out of
standardized tests is symbolic.
I think it shows that peo-
ple are very scared and very
confused by tests, she said.
I think its representative
that testing has a branding
problem.
Michael Yaple, a spokesman
for the NewJersey Department
of Education, said about 98
percent of New Jersey stu-
dents take standardized tests.
Keeping a child home from
testing does no favor to the
child or the school, he said.
Morna McDermott, a
Baltimore college professor
who is a board member of
United Opt Out, likens the
battle against standardized
testing to a ght for corporate
reform.
Ultimately this is an
act of civil disobedience,
McDermott said. If this is
going to change, it has to fun-
damentally be grassroots.

107-year-old
killed by police
A 107-year-old man was killed after
SWAT ofcers shot back at him during
a standoff at a home, police in the south-
eastern Arkansas city of Pine Bluff said
Sunday.
Police were called to the home
Saturday afternoon about a disturbance
and say ofcers arrived to nd Monroe
Isadore had threatened two people by
pointing a weapon at them.
Ofcers had the pair leave the home
for their own safety and approached
a bedroom looking for Isadore. When
the ofcers announced who they were,
Isadore shot through the door at them
but missed hitting them, said Pine Bluff
Lt. David Price in a news release.
The ofcers retreated to a safer area,
and supervisors and additional help were
called, Price said. Supervisors started
negotiating with Isadore and continued
after SWAT ofcers arrived at the home
about 45 miles southeast of Little Rock.
The SWAT team inserted a camera
into the room and conrmed Isadore
was armed with a handgun, Price said.

dren suffered minor injuries and were
treated Sunday at the Oyster Festival
in Norwalk, but several were more seri-
ously hurt and rushed to local hospitals.
Their conditions arent available.
The ride starts on the ground and

Newfles may
detail sex abuse
in Scouts
MINNEAPOLIS
Condential les turned over
for a lawsuit set to go to trial
in Minnesota may shed new
light on the problem of sexual
abuse within the Boy Scouts of
America.
The documents were pro-
duced in litigation brought
against the Boy Scouts and a
former scoutmaster, Peter Stibal
II, who is serving 21 years in
prison for molesting four Scouts.
Attorneys for one former Scout
won a court order for the nation-
wide internal les, commonly
known as ineligible volunteer
or perversion les. They cover
the years 1999-2008, much more
recent than similar les forced
into the open in an Oregon case
last year.
We are intending to use those
to show they have had a long-
standing knowledge of the scope
of a serious problem like Stibal,
said Jeffrey Anderson, the lead
attorney for the molested Scout.
They kept les not known to
the troops and members of the
public and had a body of knowl-
edge that was not made public.
Anderson, who built a national
reputation for frequent lawsuits
in clergy abuse cases, declined
to say what the new documents
might show ahead of the trial
that begins Monday in St. Paul.
He said he expects attorneys for
the Scouts to try to block the
introduction and release of the
les. He wouldnt say how many
former leaders the les cover.
But the release of more than
1,200 les in the Oregon case
suggests the number could be
large.
An attorney for the Scouts
did not return messages seeking
comment. The Scouts public
relations director, Deron Smith,
said in a prepared statement that
protecting Scouts is of para-
mount importance to the orga-
nization, which claims over 2.6
million young people and over 1
million adult leaders as members
in its various branches.
The BSA requires back-
ground checks, comprehensive
training programs for volun-
teers, staff, youth and parents
and mandates reporting of even
suspected abuse, Smith said in
the statement.
He didnt say whether the
Scouts would try to block release
of the les, but said the organi-
zation believes keeping them
private would make people more
likely to report abuse.
In the Oregon case, Boy Scout
les made public from the years
1965-1985 revealed a decades-
long cover-up, showing that men
suspected of abuse were often
excluded from leadership posi-
tions but rarely turned over to
law enforcement. The les also
contained accounts of alleged
pedophiles allowed to stay in
Scouting under pressure from
community leaders and local
Scouting ofcials.
Patrick Boyle, who as a
journalist was among the
rst to expose efforts by the
Scouts to hide the extent of
abuse by their leaders, said
the les could show how the
Boy Scouts evolved in their
response to abuse allegations
over the years or didnt.
STEVE KARNOWSKI

GROVELAND, Fla. In the ve
weeks since he declared his support for
a comprehensive immigration overhaul,
U.S. Rep. Daniel Webster has gotten an
earful.
One constituent told the second-term
Republican that immigrants carry dis-
ease. Another said immigrants would
steal jobs away from Americans.
You cannot stop illegal immigra-
tion by rewarding it, another man said
at a recent town hall-style meeting in
Groveland, a rural community west of
Orlando. Amnesty is a reward.
As Congress returns to work this week
after its summer break, Webster faces
perhaps an even tougher crowd: fellow
Republicans.
Webster is among about two dozen
GOP lawmakers who support an even-
tual path to citizenship for millions of
people who are living in the U.S. illegally.
These Republicans are facing the daunt-
ing challenge of trying to persuade col-
leagues to follow them.
Most Republicans oppose this
approach on citizenship, and there is lit-
tle political incentive for them to change
their minds. Only 24 of 233 Republicans
represent districts where more than
one-quarter of their constituents are
Hispanic.
Even so, some in the Republican Party
argue that its future hinges on whether
the House nds a way to embrace an
immigration overhaul, which is a crucial
issue for the countrys fast-growing bloc
of Hispanic voters.
Supporters of a path to citizenship
point to demographic changes and busi-
ness backing that have helped sway
Webster, who for years opposed immi-
grant-rights legislation, as potential
motives for wavering lawmakers to sign
on.
I think as a country we need to do
something, Webster said in an inter-
view, echoing the rhetoric of Florida
Sen. Marco Rubio and other prominent
Republicans. Doing nothing is amnes-
ty.
The small but growing band of
Republicans is trying to strike a balance
between conservative activists who want
border security and immigration advo-
cates who want a path to citizenship.
Many come from swing districts with
sizable Hispanic populations that could
make a difference in next years elec-
tions, tipping the balance of power in
the GOP-controlled House. The lawmak-
ers also feel the pressure from business
interests that rely on immigrant labor.
At the same time, conservative taxpay-
er groups who typically fund GOP pri-
mary challenges have remained largely
silent on immigration. Anti-immigration
activists have failed to organize large-
scale demonstrations or generate the
kind of public backlash that killed
Congress last attempt to remake immi-
gration policy, in 2007.
Immigrant advocates, on the other
hand, have waged a well-funded, aggres-
sive campaign to push for the legislation.
Congresspeople who may have been
on the fence are realizing its safe to get
in the water, said Ana Navarro, a GOP
strategist who led Hispanic outreach for
Sen. John McCains presidential cam-
paign in 2008. There is safety in num-
bers.
Political analysts said reluctant House
members should take note of the coun-
trys changing demographics.
According to research by Tom Wong,
a political scientist at University of
California, San Diego, who studies
the politics of immigration, six House
Republicans will see their margin of vic-
tory in last years election eclipsed in
2014 by the number of Hispanics and
Asians who reach voting age. More than
a dozen others, including Webster, will
experience similar changes over the next
decade.

GOP NYC mayor hopefuls spar in last debate
NEW YORK The top
two Republican candidates
for New York City mayor
debated Sunday for the last
time before the party primary
on topics including the New
York Police Departments pol-
icies and the citys handling
of the emergency response on
9/11.
In the often testy debate,
former public transit chair-
man Joe Lhota accused gro-
cery store magnate John
Catsimatidis of being a bil-
lionaire businessman with
no government experience.
Catsimatidis countered that
Lhota was a bureaucrat out of
touch with New Yorkers.
Ive served in govern-
ment in different ways that
I choose not to talk about,
said Catsamatidis. Ive
also served in the (Greek
Orthodox) church, and if you
talk about church politics,
thats much worse than New
York City politics.
Catsimatidis described
Lhota as more of a techni-
cal person, contrasting that
quality with what he called
his own visionary capability.
Ive been a CEO for 44
years, and I am used to hiring
people to perform technical
tasks. Ive hired hundreds of
people with the qualications
of Joe, he said. He added,
But you need a visionary,
you need somebody that cre-
ates.
Lhota has had a consistent
leadinpolls over Catsimatidis,
who blanketed the airwaves
with ads in recent weeks.
Low Republican turnout is
expected in Tuesdays pri-
mary in a city where regis-
tered Democrats outnumber
Republicans by 6 to 1.
The two men traded barbs
and expressed exasperation
during heated exchanges,
with Lhota often shaking his
head as Catsimatidis spoke.

section of the levee
behind the Forty Fort
Cemetery that was heav-
ily damaged.
This section had to
be reinforced with sand-
bags and several hundred
tons of rock and dirt in
September 2011 to plug
boils, or paths under the
levee that jeopardized its
stability.
Tri-State Design/
KC Construction Co. of
Elkins Park, which was
hired by the Army Corps,
removed the temporary
ll and replaced it with
ll that was properly
graded and compacted,
Roberts said.
The company also
repaired macadam along
the river side of the Forty
Fort ood wall and vis-
ible cracks that formed
in the levee concrete cas-
ing in this area, Roberts
said. The concrete casing
is more aesthetic because
the primary ood control
comes from hidden inter-
locked sheet pile driven at
least 30 feet in the ground,
ofcials have said.
The Army Corps also
completed a similar ll
removal and replacement
on levee boils that erupt-
ed at several other loca-
tions during the record
ood, including the coun-
ty recreational complex
near the Wyoming Valley
Airport in Forty Fort,
the Midway Shopping
Center in Wyoming, The
Laurels nursing home
in Kingston, at the end
of Fellows Avenue in
Hanover Township and
several spots in Plymouth.
The $2.4 million in
work also included
repairs to pump stations,
a diversion channel, cul-
vert and a relief well col-
lection system, Roberts
said.
Flood gate testing
The x for the portable
Market Street Bridge
ood gates that leaked
in 2011 ooding will be
tested the weekend of
Sept. 27.
Water pressure blew
out sections of the gates
rubber gasket seals on
both the Kingston and
Wilkes-Barre sides, forc-
ing crews to dump tons
of rock against the clo-
sure panels, which still
vibrated.
The Army Corps is
awaiting delivery of new
gaskets that are expected
to provide a more water-
tight seal where the
closure panels meet the
road, Roberts said.
The guide plates that
hold the panels in place
also will be modied
because they were too
long, causing the bot-
tom panels to sit off the
ground. That gap pre-
vented the panels from
putting weight on the
gaskets to keep them in
place, ofcials said.
The Army Corps also
must complete additional
repairs to several pump
stations. This work must
be handled in stages
so the stations remain
operational at all times,
Roberts said.
While pump stations go
largely unnoticed by the
public, they are as crucial
to preventing ooding as
the levee. The stations
are located where a lot of
water drains fromthe land
into the Susquehanna,
including creek outlets.
When the river rises,
gates are closed at these
drainage outlets so the
more forceful river water
cant escape.
The pump stations have
deep water wells to col-
lect the drainage since it
can no longer naturally
feed into the river. The
stations pumps lift the
collected water up over
the levee wall and dump it
onto concrete aprons into
the Susquehanna.
Weve gone in to each
station to make sure every
piece is operating at 100
percent, Roberts said.
Other repairs
Other non-levee ood
damage repairs are also in
the works.
County ofcials recently
approved the spending of
$10 million in federal ood
recovery funding to cover
lingering road, sewer and
other infrastructure dam-
age in multiple municipali-
ties caused by Hurricane
Irene and Tropical Storm
Lee in 2011, including
West Pittston, Shickshinny
and Plymouth Township.
Duryea Mayor
Keith Moss said the
state Department of
Environmental Protection
is close to seeking bids
to enhance the boroughs
levee.
The Lackawanna River
feeds into the Susquehanna
by the borough, and the
Lackawanna had nowhere
to drain in September 2011
because the Susquehanna
was so high, which caused
ooding of 139 low-lying
properties.
The state is spending
$1.77 million to repair the
existing levee and add pil-
ing to ll a gap in the dike.
Hopefully, they will
get started on that work
in October or November,
Moss said.

The Scrobolas make
running the county-
owned airport a fam-
ily affair. Just about
everyone prepping for
Saturdays banner ight
had the same last name.
Assembling the banner
took four young pilots
about 25 minutes.
They y a lot of per-
sonal messages, happy-
birthday wishes, con-
gratulatory messages for
college graduates and an
occasional marriage pro-
posal.
Dorothy Scrobola, who
is known around the tar-
mac as Gram, said one
such customer was suc-
cessful in winning his
bride.
Advertisers crow over
the exclusive advertising
avenues response, said
Jim Scrobola, the air-
ports caretaker. Luzerne
Bank noted a rise in new
customers in the days
after they ew a ban-
ner past Mohegan Sun
Casinos Party on the
Patio, Jim said.
Commercial pilot Ed
Topper of Nanticoke got
the Scrobolas banner-
towing enterprise off the
ground.
Topper earned his
pilots license towing ads
along the Jersey Shore
and got to know the busi-
ness.
He taught the Scrobolas
how to set up the ban-
ners, what kind of plane
was best for pulling them
and, most important, how
to catch them with a grap-
pling hook.
He was always friends
with the Scrobola family
and now he offers guid-
ance for Valley Aviations
aerial advertising.
We started the opera-
tion last June and it really
took off, Topper said.
No pun intended.

field for pick up. Each letter is attached with 8 straps on each side.

the rope and flies as low as 10 feet from the ground to snag the banner.
We started the operation last June and it really took off.

Vision trumps hearing in study
JOsH sHAFFEr
The News & Observer
DURHAM, N.C. A Duke University
study used puppet-based comedy to demon-
strate the complicated inner-workings of the
brain and shows what every ventriloquist
knows: The eye is more convincing than the
ear.
The study, which appears in the journal
PLOS ONE, seeks to explain how the brain
combines information coming from two dif-
ferent senses. How, asks Duke psychology
and neuroscience professor Jennifer Groh,
does the brain determine where a sound is
coming from?
In your eyes, the retina takes a snapshot,
she said. It makes a topographic image of
whats in front of you. But the ears have
nothing concrete to go on. They have to rely
on how loud the sound is, how far away and
from what direction.
Thats where a ventriloquist comes in,
providing a model for this problem. With
a puppet, the noise and the movement are
coming from different places. So how does
the brain x this and choose where to look?
Duke researchers tested their hypotheses
on 11 people and two monkeys, placing
them in a soundproof booth.
They arranged speakers in various loca-
tions and attached lights to them.
Then they played a sound fromone speak-
er and ashed a light from another, tracking
peoples eye movements. Sometimes they
played the sound in time with the light,
but only for just a fraction of a second.
Sometimes they played the sound rst, then
followed up with the light.
Results: People moved their eyes much
more when the light came at a different time
with the sound. To sum up, it doesnt mat-
ter if sounds and lights happen at the same
time, in the same place. Its more important
that the eyes get a clue to give back to the
brain.

Halfway through hurricane
season, no big storms in sight
FORT LAUDERDALE,
Fla. Usually by now,
three hurricanes have
emerged.
Yet not one has formed
and the storm season is
already half over. If a mon-
ster storm doesnt appear
by Wednesday morning,
it will set a record for the
latest-arriving hurricane
since the satellite era
began in the mid-1960s.
Its very unusual,
said Bryan Norcross, a
hurricane expert for the
Weather Channel. Why
this is happening is the
subject of a lot of conver-
sation, and not much clar-
ity.
Consider:
When Tropical Storm
Gabrielle failed to grow
into a hurricane last week,
it set a modern-era record
for the most named sys-
tems to arise before the
rst hurricane. Gabrielle
was the seventh named
storm, and the previous
record, set in 2002, was
six named storms before
the rst hurricane.
Sept. 10 Tuesday
is the peak of the sea-
son, when a hurricane is
most likely to be swirl-
ing in the Atlantic. Yet it
appears that no systems
in the eastern Atlantic will
develop until Wednesday
or after.
On average the rst
hurricane emerges on Aug.
10, the second on Aug. 28
and the third on Sept. 9,
putting this season about
a month behind schedule,
hurricane-wise.
Only ve times since
the satellite era have
there been no hurricanes
in August. And the rst
Category 3 or higher usu-
ally spins up on Sept. 4.
Why havent any hurri-
canes formed so far?
Large areas of dry sink-
ing air across the tropical
Atlantic have deprived
systems of the moist atmo-
sphere they need to devel-
op. Also, pockets of wind
shear have disrupted sys-
tems from growing, said
Dennis Feltgen, spokes-
man for the National
Hurricane Center.
Despite those factors,
Norcross said the Atlantic
waters are warm enough
to support development.
Further, there has been
above average rain in west
Africa, which nurtures
tropical waves and allows
them to intensify.
Yet the waves havent
been as robust as weve
seen in the past, he said.
Robert Molleda, meteo-
rologist with the National
Weather Service in Miami,
said South Florida needs
to be on alert. He noted 19
hurricanes have struck this
region during October, the
most of any month.
For that reason, he said
the real peak of the season
for South Florida is Sept. 21.
Half of our hurricane
strikes have occurred
before Sept. 21 and half
after, he said. The Sept.
10 peak of activity doesnt
really mean a whole lot for
this region.

Sun Sentinel (MCT)
Nyads team responds to skeptics doubting her swim
MIAMI Diana Nyads 110-mile swim from
Cuba to Florida has generated positive publicity
and adoration for the 64-year-old endurance ath-
lete along with skepticism from some mem-
bers of the small community of marathon swim-
mers who are questioning whether she accom-
plished the feat honestly.
On social media and the online Marathon
Swimmers Forum, long-distance swimmers have
been debating whether Nyad got a boost from
the boat that was accompanying her either by
getting in it or holding onto it during a par-
ticularly speedy stretch of her swim. They also
question whether she violated the traditions of
her sport many followstrict guidelines known
as the English Channel rules by using a spe-
cialized mask and body suit to protect herself
from jellysh.
When you know how hard it is, you kind of
want those details, said Andrew Malinak, a
Seattle long-distance swimmer who crunched
the data available fromthe GPS positions tracked
on Nyads website and concluded that he didnt
trust what he saw.
Nyads navigator and one of the swims ofcial
observers told The Associated Press this week-
end that Nyad didnt cheat and that she was aided
during the rapid part of her swim by a swift cur-
rent. And neither Nyad nor her team ever said
she would follow English Channel rules, devel-
oped for swimming the waters between England
and France. Those rules outlaw neoprene wet-
suits and contact with a support boat. Nyad wore
a full non-neoprene bodysuit, gloves, booties and
a silicone mask at night, when jellysh are a par-
ticular problem, and removed the suit once she
got over the reef on her approach to Key West.
According to Nyads team, she nished the
swim Monday afternoon after roughly 53 hours
in the water, becoming the rst to do so with-
out a shark cage. It was her fth try, an endeav-
or apparently free from the boat troubles, bad
weather, illnesses and jellysh encounters that
have bedeviled Nyad and other swimmers in
recent years.
Nyads progress was tracked online via GPS by
her team, and some critics say they think infor-
mation is missing.
Many wonder about a roughly seven-hour
stretch when Nyad apparently didnt stop to eat
or drink, recalling her 2012 attempt when she
got onto the boat for hours during rough weath-
er. Nyad eventually got back into the water to try
nishing, but her team was criticized for delay-
ing the release of that information to the public.
Malinak said the hours-long spike in Nyads
speed after 27 hours of swimming is particularly
questionable she went from her normal pace
of roughly 1.5 mph to more than 3 mph, then
slowed down again as she approached Key West.
Nyads spokeswomen did not immediately
return telephone calls this weekend, but her
navigator and Janet Hinkle, one of the ofcial
observers for the swim, told the AP that Nyad
didnt cheat.
Navigator John Bartlett said the increased
speed was due to the fast-moving Gulf Stream
working in her favor, nothing more.
At some points we were doing almost 4 miles
an hour, Bartlett said. Thats just the way it
works. If the current is in your favor at all, that
explains it.
The data collected by Bartlett and two observ-
ers will be submitted to three open-water swim-
ming associations and the Guinness World
Records for verication, Bartlett said.
An oceanographer not afliated with Nyads
team said the swimmer couldnt have picked a
more perfect current to get from Havana to Key
West.
Mitch Roffer of Melbourne-based Roffers
Ocean Fishing Forecasting Service Inc. said he
got an email questioning whether Nyads swim
was a hoax, so he decided to look at the charts
for himself. What he saw convinced him that she
could do it.
Many times that current runs west-east and
youre constantly ghting the current if youre
swimming north. In this case, it was in the shape
of an S, and the angle was almost exactly from
Havana to Key West, Roffer said.
Janet Hinkle, a Key West boat captain and
acquaintance of Nyads, was calledtobe anobserv-
er for the swim when Steve Munatones, a former
U.S. national open-water coach, was unable to
make it. I can say unequivocally she swam every
stroke without question, Hinkle said.
Critics have said Hinkle was too close to Nyad
to be an independent observer of her swim.
Hinkle has in the past helped Nyad by providing
housing for her when the swimmer stayed in the
Florida Keys, but she said she remained on the
periphery of Nyads team. I think anyone who
knows me knows me as a person of high integ-
rity. I believe thats why Diana asked me, and I
took my job very seriously, Hinkle said. She
was giving her all and I would give her my best.
Since none of the various open-water swim-
ming associations dictate how someone should
swim from Cuba to Florida ofcially accom-
plished only by Nyad and Susie Maroney, who
used a shark cage Nyad just had to followgen-
erally accepted rules about not getting out of the
water or using equipment such as ns.
Australian Chloe McCardel followed English
Channel rules in her attempt to swim the Florida
Straits in June. She had to be pulled from the
water after 11 hours after being stung jellysh.
Generally the rules are: You walk in, you
swim across and you walk out, and you do it
under your own power, said Munatones, who
consulted with Nyad for this swim and observed
her attempts in 2011 and 2012.
The elaborate, full-body suit and protective
mask Nyad wore to protect herself from ven-
omous jellysh actually weighed her down,
Munatones said.
To put that on is like putting on a wedding
gown in the ocean, he said. Its different from
the English Channel rules, but the water is differ-
ent from the English Channel.

Children need
family and God
There are those who have com-
pared the Trayvon Martin case to the
recent murder of the Australian ath-
lete Christopher Lane in Oklahoma.
Although one could say that race is
an issue, it goes much, much deeper
than that.
Both tragedies affected me pro-
foundly, but it was not until I heard
the family of Christopher Lane say
that they would not recommend
travel to the US any longer because
of our gun culture.
I wanted to say to the grieving fam-
ily, Please, this is not who we are.
We are good people. I know your
heart is broken and my prayers are
with you.
Then I started to think about the
individuals who could do such a
horric thing. What have we turned
into?
There is something going on in our
culture that we desperately need to
address. Listening to my grandchil-
drens friends and their schoolmates,
many of these children lack security
and stability that we took for granted
when we were young.
Our mothers stayed home while
our fathers worked. We were con-
dent that we could rely on them for
support.
What kind of homes did these
young men come from? Why are so
many of them angry and misdirected?
It seems the family nucleus is gone.
There is very little regard or sensitiv-
ity shown to each other.
I remember my father being a very
perceptive person. He told me that
every young man should serve in the
military for two years; especially if he
needed direction in school.
Another important component in
this equation is the lack of God and
faith. Very few children are exposed
to organized religion and/or choices
regarding faith and religious belief sys-
tems. It must not be in vogue or PC
these days.
I know we should embrace and
accept change in this world, but there
is one thing I have a lot of trouble
accepting. This is not the America I
grew up in and I am afraid.
I am afraid because my grandchil-
dren will never know the America I
have always known and loved.
We need to pray for all the children.

geous joke. We cannot have
wealth that we do not pro-
duce, and todays fast food
jobs are simply not worth
$15 an hour. The good
news is that they can prob-
ably be redesigned to pay
this much, or even more,
but the SEIU is clearly not
the right entity to do it.
Henry Ford wrote, The
only true labour leader is
the one who leads labour to
work and to wages, and not
the leader who leads labour
to strikes, sabotage, and
starvation (and, by impli-
cation, unemployment; the
obvious prognosis
for workers whose
output does not jus-
tify their pay). Ford
did not pay his work-
ers unprecedented
wages because a
union demanded it.
He paid these wages
because he designed
jobs that would jus-
tify them, and the
workers did not even
have to ask. This
made Ford himself a
genuine labor leader, and a
far better one than the Jack
Cades of the SEIU.
None of the following
constitutes formal engi-
neering advice, but, from
what I could see of a fast
food restaurants opera-
tions, the jobs are simply
not worth much more than
minimum wage. This does
not mean that the peo-
ple who do them are not
worth more. Masonry is,
for example, skilled con-
struction work, but nobody
can pay the worlds best
brick layer high wages to
effectively do 125 squat
exercises per hour. This is
exactly what brick layers
did through the early 20th
century, when they had to
pick up the bricks from
the ground. They could lay
350 per hour, and with less
effort, after Frank Gilbreth
introduced a scaffold that
delivered the bricks at
waist level.
I watched a fast food
employee who was working
very hard, and probably a lot
harder than any employer
deserves for the minimum
wage. Most of his effort,
however, went into taking
six or so steps back and
forth, opening boxes into
which to put orders, and
similar non-value-adding
activities. Ford said emphat-
ically that you cannot pay
somebody to walk, and that
no job should require any-
body to take more than one
step in any direction.
It is also wasteful to do
the same job twice, which
is what happens when
the cashier forwards the
customers order to the
workers who prepare the
meals. Why not replace
the cashiers with kiosks
into which customers
enter their orders on a
touch screen, and pay with
cash or a credit card? The
burger order could then
conceivably go directly
to a hamburger making
machine without human
intervention. Momentum
Machines, for example,
makes an automated min-
iature assembly line that
delivers burgers to order.
Lesson 1: you cannot pay
somebody $15 an hour to
walk, fumble with packag-
ing, and engage in other
non-value-adding activity,
but you can pay somebody
$15 or even $25 an hour to
run and maintain a machine
that does all the repetitive
and mind-numbing work.
Lesson 2: any fast food chain
that does not adopt this kind
of technology will end up like
the automakers who con-
tinued to build cars one at
a time after Ford developed
the moving assembly line.

COMMENTARY: WILLIAMLEVINSON
Korea is standing its ground at a
time when some Asian countries,
such as India and Indonesia, and
other emerging economies are tak-
ing a drubbing as the United States
prepares to phase out quantitative
easing. The Korean currency remains
stable while stocks are rallying.
No wonder Korea is now touted as
one of the most attractive investment
markets among the emerging econo-
mies. The Korean economy, policy-
makers say with condence, will be
able to ght back a nancial squeeze,
should it come as a consequence of
cheap nancing coming to an end.
Their optimism is based on what
they call sound fundamentals.
Indeed, foreign exchange reserves
have expanded to $330 billion as
Korea has continued to generate con-
secutive monthly current account
surpluses since February 2012. Its
short-term foreign debt as a percent-
age of the total external debt is the
lowest since the third quarter of
1999 at 29.1 percent at the end of
June. Growth is recovering, albeit at
a snails pace.
But not all economic fundamentals
are sound, as evidenced by an enor-
mous scal decit the Korean gov-
ernment sustained in the rst half
of this year. The decit, the largest
ever, amounted to 46.2 trillion won.
Policymakers sound smug when
they claim that it is not unusual to
sustain a huge scal decit in the
rst half of a year. The reason, they
say, is that the government customar-
ily frontloads spending. Maybe so. As
they say, more money was allocated
for the rst half this year.
But here the size matters.
Fiscal soundness, if sacriced to
meet a growing demand for welfare,
will undermine the nations creditwor-
thiness. That is why the Park admin-
istration will have to strive to balance
annual budgets in the near future.
Options are few. The administration
will have to spend less, collect more
taxes, in particular from the wealthy,
or both, if growth remains sluggish.

WORLD OPINION: KOREAN ECONOMY
Weathering downturn
requires careful policy
The Central African Republic is
falling into chaos and no one, includ-
ing France, the former colonial power,
shows any signs of caring.
The C.A.R. has borders with six
countries Cameroon, Chad, Congo
(Brazzaville), the Democratic Republic
of the Congo, South Sudan and Sudan.
Each plays a role in the world oil indus-
try. The C.A.R. has enough resources
itself, with agriculture and diamonds
for cash, to support its small, majority
Christian, 4.6 million population if it
were governed reasonably. But nobody
seems to care about its collapse.
By comparison, Syria has borders
with Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon and
Turkey. It is the focus of the world
during the G-20 conference in St.
Petersburg, at the United Nations and
in Congress. The difference is Syria is
in the powder-keg Middle East. The
C.A.R. is in the heart of Africa and
receives little media or diplomatic
attention.
In the meantime, the C.A.R., after
holding elections in 1993, its rst since
independence in 1960, endured a mili-
tary coup in 2003. The general who
came to power in that coup was over-
thrown in another coup in March by a
movement called Seleka which named
Michel Djotodia, as its rst Muslim
president.
Selekas and Mr. Djotodias idea of
governance has turned out to be con-
tinued disorder and looting across
the country that has been marked by
many deaths, rapes and other crimes.
The absence of education, health care
and other basics have led to the ight
of citizens to neighboring countries.
So, why Mali and Syria, but not
the C.A.R.? That is a good question,
missing an obvious answer. It might
be, because it is Africa, except that
Mali is in Africa, too. The C.A.R.
badly needs attention from the
African Union, the United Nations or
France.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Kim Jong-un is once again playing
host to Dennis Rodman. The United
States basketball player, though on a
private sojourn to the Stalinist state,
has stirred the media over his pos-
sible role as an emissary to build
bridges between Pyongyang and
Washington.
But that doesnt seem to be the
case. Apparently, Rodman before y-
ing off to Pyongyang from Beijing
said that he will be meeting his
best friend, who is a great fan, and
his visit is merely part of basketball
diplomacy tour. So far so good! But
the fact is that the reclusive leader
had agreed to host Rodman just days
after refusing a formal diplomatic
request from the US special envoy
for North Korean rights, who wanted
to deliberate with Kim over the fate
of jailed Korean-American Kenneth
Bae, who is facing a sentence for ille-
gally entering the country and alleg-
edly plotting to topple the regime.
Thus, this faceoff speaks for itself.
As they say in diplomacy too many
explanations also make it smell a rat.
So is the case here. Though it would
not be appropriate to get judgmen-
tal in this case, nonetheless, it goes
without saying that while Kim is
eager to reach out to the corridors of
power in the White House, Rodman
can inevitably help broker that deal.
Rodman credentials speak for him,
as he remains the most high-prole
American to meet Kim since the
leader took over after his father died
in 2011. It is also a fact that Kim
had expressed his personal desire to
Rodman, in his previous visit, to be
invited by Barack Obama and nurse
his dream of rubbing shoulders with
the whos who in Washington.
If ping-pongdiplomacycouldbroker
the worlds greatest diplomatic thaw
between China and the United States
in the 1970s through the auspi-
cious of Pakistan what is stopping
a repeat now between Pyongyang
and Washington? Rodman can take a
lesson or two from Henry Kissingers
yesteryears policies and help Kim
and Obama opt for a handshake over
a game of basketball anywhere in the
world! Let sportsmanship triumph in
the midst of brinkmanship.

pulverized concrete and glass.
But thePentagonor Shanksville
applicants are notable because, to
date, no medical study or envi-
ronmental survey has suggested
that people who responded to
either site were exposed to simi-
lar health hazards. They were
on the scene for days rather than
months. And there have been no
reports of a strange rash of ill-
nesses. Responders at those sites
were given eligibility by Congress
mostly out of a sense of fairness,
without any clear indication that
anyone was sick.
A separate program adminis-
tered by the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
expects as many as 1,500 Virginia
and Pennsylvania responders to
apply for free health monitoring
and treatment. So far, just 19 have
applied.
The trickle of people signing
up for compensation includes
Alexandria Fire Department
Capt. Scott Quintana, who dug
through feet of scorched rubble
at the Pentagon to nd bodies
in 2001. He was diagnosed with
chronic myeloid leukemia, a type
of cancer, in 2010.
Research has suggested the
genetic mutation that causes his
type of cancer might be triggered
by some environmental toxins.
But even Quintana acknowledged
its unlikely his leukemia was
caused solely by the few days he
spent at the Pentagon.
Its part of a long exposure
to triggers that create this in
your body, Quintana said.
Could I absolutely tie it to 9/11?
Absolutely not. Can I tie it to my
career in the re service? Yes.
What that means for his com-
pensation claim isnt entirely
clear.
If they are making an award,
Ill take it. If they dont, Im not
going to cry about it, Quintana
said, adding that his $8,000-per-
month chemotherapy bill is
already covered by insurance,
thanks to a Virginia law that pre-
sumes that any reghter diag-
nosed with cancer got it from an
on-the-job exposure.
No such presumption exists for
people applyingtothe victimcom-
pensation fund. The funds special
master, Shelia Birnbaum, said
claims coming in from Pentagon
and Shanksville responders have
yet to be reviewed, so she couldnt
say how many might be granted.
It has to be an injury that is
related to your exposure at that
site, she said. That means that
applicants, to start with, will
need to have a doctor ll out a
form verifying that their illness
was caused, or worsened, by a
harmful exposure during the
9/11 rescue and recovery.
Initially, compensation was
only available for a limited list
of health conditions linked to
the unique blend of toxins and
caustic agents in the trade center
dust, most notably respiratory ill-
nesses. But the programhas since
been expanded to include anyone
suffering from many common
types of cancer, which has raised
the possibility that the $2.78 bil-
lion appropriated for the program
wont be enough to cover claims.
As of late August, the pool
of 24,000 applicants included
967 cancer claims.
Birnbaum said she anticipated
getting some cancer claims from
the Pennsylvania and Virginia
sites but was concerned about
authorizing big payouts for com-
mon illnesses that might be unre-
lated to the terror attacks.
Ted Shaffer, former chief of
the Shanksville Volunteer Fire
Company, who was on duty
on 9/11, said he was shocked
anyone led a claim over the
response to Flight 93, saying
the crash scene struck him as no
more dangerous than a regular
building or vehicle re.
I nd it difcult to believe
that any permanent, long-lasting
injury came from this, he said,
adding: Nobody that I know of
had any health problems.
At outreach meetings in recent
weeks, NIOSH ofcials and
health advocates suggested that
responders at least enroll in the
health program as a precaution,
even if they are currently healthy.
That logic appealed to for-
mer Arlington County Fire
Department battalion chief James
Daugherty, who said he got more
than the usual dose of smoke at
the Pentagon and then developed
a persistent cough a month or
so later. He still uses an inhaler
today.
It could be a coincidence. But
I never had any breathing prob-
lems before, he said.
We were nothing compared to
what happened in New York. We
were done in two weeks. Those
guys were down there in that
stuff for months, he said. But, he
added, a person would be crazy
not to protect themselves by
enrolling in the health program.
Who knows whats going to
happen down the road? he said.
What happens if we all end up
with mesothelioma in ve or
10 years?
Human Rights, which collects
information from a network of
anti-government activists, says
it has so far only been able to
conrm 502 dead.
The actual tally of those
killed by chemical weapons is
scant compared to the sum of
all killed in the upheaval: more
than 100,000, according to the
United Nations.
In an interviewSunday, Assad
told U.S. journalist Charlie Rose
there is not conclusive evidence
about who is to blame for the
chemical weapons attacks and
again suggested the rebels were
responsible. From Beirut, Rose
described his interview, which
is to be released Monday on
the CBS morning program that
Rose hosts, with the full inter-
view airing later in the day on
Roses PBS program.
Asked about Assads claims
there is no evidence he used
the weapons, Secretary of State
John Kerry told reporters in
London: The evidence speaks
for itself.
At the same time, Obama has
planned his own public relations
effort. He has scheduled six
network interviews on Monday
and then a primetime speech
to the nation from the White
House on Tuesday, the eve of
the rst votes in Congress.
Sunday night, Obama
dropped in on a dinner held
by Vice President Joe Biden
for Republican senators.
Obama will meet with Senate
Democrats Tuesday, a Senate
aide said, speaking on condi-
tion of anonymity because he
was not authorized to publicly
discuss the meeting before its
ofcial announcement.
Obama faces a tough audi-
ence on Capitol Hill. A survey
by The Associated Press shows
that House members who are
staking out positions are either
opposed to or leaning against
Obamas plan for a military
strike by more than a 6-1 mar-
gin.
Lobbing a few Tomahawk
missiles will not restore our
credibility overseas, said
Rep. Mike McCaul, the Texas
Republican who chairs the
House Homeland Security
Committee.
Added Rep. Loretta Sanchez,
D-Calif.: For the president to
say that this is just a very quick
thing and were out of there,
thats how long wars start.
Almost half of the
433 House members and a
third of the 100-member Senate
remain undecided, the AP sur-
vey found. Two seats in the
435-member House are vacant.
Just because Assad is a mur-
derous tyrant doesnt mean his
opponents are any better, said
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
But some of Assads oppo-
nents are pleading for aid.
The world is watching, and
Syrians are wondering: When
is the international community
going to act and intervene to
protect them? said Saleh.
On Saturday, a U.S. ofcial
released a DVD compilation of
videos showing attack victims
that the ofcial said were shown
to senators during Thursdays
classied brieng. The graphic
images have become a rallying
point for the administration.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.,
chairwoman of the Intelligence
Committee, also posted videos
on the committees website.
But McDonough conceded
the United States doesnt have
concrete evidence Assad was
behind the chemical attacks.
Recent opinion surveys show
intense American skepticism
about military intervention in
Syria, even among those who
believe Syrias government used
chemical weapons on its people.
Congress, perhaps, is even
more dubious.
Its an uphill slog, said Rep.
Mike Rogers, the Republican
chairman of the House
Intelligence Committee who
supports strikes on Assad.
I think its very clear hes
lost support in the last week,
Rogers added, speaking of the
president.
Complicating the effort in the
Senate is the possibility that
60 votes may be required to
authorize a strike.
Republican Sen. Rand Paul
of Kentucky said he would
consider a libuster, but noted
the delay tactic was unlikely to
permanently nix a vote. Paul
would, however, insist his col-
leagues consider an amendment
to the resolution that would bar
Obama from launching strikes
if Congress votes against the
measure.
Still, Sen. Harry Reid, the
Democratic leader, has pre-
dicted authorization and
McDonough, too, on Sunday
telegraphed optimism.
They do not dispute the
intelligence when we speak
with them, McDonough said,
of members of Congress.
But while the public discus-
sion lacks a direct link between
Assad and weapons, the private
briefs are no better, two law-
makers said.
The evidence is not as strong
as the public statements that
the president and the adminis-
tration have been making, said
Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich.
There are some things that are
being embellished in the public
statements. The briengs
have actually made me more
skeptical about the situation.
Rep. Buck McKeon, R-Calif.,
said they have evidence show-
ing the regime has probably the
responsibility for the attacks.
But thats not enough to start
military strikes. They havent
linked it directly to Assad, in
my estimation, said McKeon,
chairman of the House Armed
Services Committee.
McDonough, an Obama for-
eign policy adviser dating back
to his 2008 presidential cam-
paign, said the dots connect
themselves.
The material was delivered
by rockets which we know the
Assad regime has and we have
no indication that the opposi-
tion has.
Congress resumes work
today after its summer break,
but a heated debate about Syria
is already underway.
Vice President Joe Biden
planned to host a dinner
Sunday night for a group of
Senate Republicans.
Obamas national secu-
rity adviser, Susan Rice,
plans to discuss Syria in a
speech Monday at the New
America Foundation and later
meet with members of the
Congressional Black Caucus.
Bipartisan, classied briengs
for Congress are set for today
and Wednesday.
McDonough plans to meet
Tuesday with the House
Democratic Caucus.
Obama planned to address
the nation on Tuesday ahead
of Wednesdays rst showdown
vote in the Senate over a reso-
lution that would authorize
the limited and specied use
of U.S. armed forces against
Syria for no more than 90 days
and barring American ground
troops from combat. A nal
vote is expected at weeks end.
A House vote appears likely
during the week of Sept. 16.
McDonough spoke with
ABCs This Week, CBS
Face the Nation, NBCs
Meet the Press, CNNs State
of the Union and Fox News
Sunday. McCaul and Sanchez
were on NBC. Cruz appeared
on ABC. Rogers and Amash
spoke to CBS. Paul was inter-
viewed on Fox. McKeon was on
CNN.

ARLINGTON, Texas
Tony Romo threw
two touchdown passes
to Jason Witten, Barry
Church returned a fum-
ble 27 yards for a score
and the Dallas Cowboys
downed the turnover-
plagued New York Giants
on Sunday night 36-31.
Giants running back
David Wilson, who also
fumbled on New Yorks
rst running play in the
game, was stripped early
in the second half by Nick
Hayden. Church scooped
up the ball and ran into
the end zone.
Brandon Carr returned
an interception 49 yards
in the fourth quarter to
give Dallas another defen-
sive TD. The Cowboys
forced six Giants turn-
overws.
Eli Manning and the
Giants are no longer unde-
feated in Cowboys owner
Jerry Jones $1.2 billion
showplace stadium. They
were 4-0 in the building,
including a victory in the
rst regular-season game
there in 2009.
Manning had two TD
passes to Victor Cruz,
including an 18-yarder
with 1:44 left in the third
quarter.
The Giants turnovers
included two fumbles by
Wilson, three intercep-
tions by Manning and a
botched punt return.
The Cowboys had three
turnovers in their rst
6 minutes playing in
new defensive coordina-
tor Monte Kifns 4-3
scheme.
A play after a possible
pass interference call on
Dez Bryant didnt draw a
penalty and the Cowboys
p u n t e d ,
the ball
hit Giants
b l o c k e r
Tr u ma i ne
M c B r i d e
and was
rec overed
by rookie
D e Vo n t e
Hol l oma n
at the
Giants 16.
That set
up Romos
4-yard TD throw to
Witten, the eight-time
Pro Bowler who had only
three scores last season,
for a 27-10 lead.
Romo threw a 15-yard
score to Witten before
halftime, and Dan Bailey
also had two eld goals
(30 and 38 yards) by then
for a 13-10 lead.
In the nal minute of
the rst half, Romo was
hit in the ribs and had the
wind knocked out after
being crushed between
Mathias Kiwanuka and
Justin Trattou after throw-
ing an incompletion. Kyle
Orton came on to nish
the half, but Romo was
back after halftime.
Manning hit 27 of 42
passes for 450 yards, and
Cruz had ve catches for
118 yards.
Romo was 36 of 49
for 263 yards. Miles
Austin had 10 catches
for 72 yards and Witten
had eight catches for 70
yards.
Wittens rst TD catch
with 3 minutes left in the
rst half made it 13-3
and came with linebacker
Mark Herzlich trying
to cover him in the end
zone.
The grab put him over
9,000 yards receiving. He
also had a 21-yard catch
on the previous play.

Are playofs nowCheat for the Cup?
NASCAR investigating Bowyer spin at Richmond
JENNAFRYER
APAuto RacingWriter
CHARLOTTE, N.C.
With one suspicious snap
of the steering wheel,
Clint Bowyer changed
the outcome of a race and
maybe the championship,
too.
Accidental or inten-
tional, his spin in the
closing laps at Richmond
International Raceway
set in motion a chain of
events that has shrouded
the start of the Chase for
the Sprint Cup champi-
onship and raised many
questions about the
potential for a race team
to manipulate pivotal
moments of a race.
Now NASCAR is
reviewing evidence to
determine if Michael
Waltrip Racing deliberate-
ly altered Saturday nights
race, potentially costing
both Ryan Newman and
Jeff Gordon spots in the
Chase, to benet MWR
driver Martin Truex Jr.
NASCAR President
Mike Helton told The
Associated Press before
Sundays Truck Series
race at Iowa that ofcials
in the scoring tower did
not immediately see any-
thing to believe Bowyers
spin with seven laps
remaining at Richmond
was suspicious. The spin
came while Newman was
leading and brought out
the caution that set in
motion a chain of events
that cost Newman both
the race and a berth in the
12-driver Chase eld. He
was battling Truex for the
nal spot.

Early returns promising for PSUdefense
DEREK LEVARSE

Glenn Carson had heard this
refrain before. Frankly, he was
getting a little tired of it.
Sure, Michael Mauti and
Gerald Hodges were gone.
Jordan Hill, too. All three were
NFL draft picks in April and
Penn State had to move on
without them. The conclusion
might be that the Nittany Lions
defense would be taking a step
back this season.
To be honest, Ive been
around for awhile now, and I feel
like they say that almost every
year, the senior linebacker said
before the 2013 campaign start-
ed. And then new guys come up
in the making. A (rebuild) year?
I dont really believe in that.
I remember specically a fan
coming up to me when Mauti
and Gerald were in the lineup,
and they were like, Oh, its
not like in years past when we
had Sean (Lee) and (NaVorro)
Bowman playing. Well, (Mauti
and Hodges) became superstars
for us. Know what I mean?
So its just one of those things
that I hear every year. And then
the new guys come out to be the
next big thing.
So far, so good.
Led by Carson and defensive
tackle DaQuan Jones, the Lions
defense is off to a strong start
under new coordinator John
Butler.
Granted, the opposition hasnt
been all that potent. Syracuse
was replacing its NFL-bound
head coach and its record-set-
ting quarterback while Eastern
Michigan is a perennial doormat
in the MAC.
But the defense hasnt dis-
appointed, handling both as
expected despite being put
in some tough spots by the
offenses six turnovers in two
games.
Penn State is allowing 221.5
yards (10th best in the nation)
and 12.0 points (20th) per game
thus far. And that latter number
is misleadingly high.
The seven points the Eagles
scored Saturday came on a
fumble return with the Lions
defense on the sideline. Syracuse

PITTSBURGH The Tennessee
Titans began the season with an
embarrassing step back. It merely
set the stage for a signicant leap
forward.
Chris Johnson eschewed his usual
ashfor 70clock-chewingyards, new
defensive assistant Gregg Williams
wasted little time working some of
his old magic, and the Titans smoth-
ered the Pittsburgh Steelers 16-9 on
Sunday.
Jackie Battle ran for a 3-yard
touchdown in the second quarter
and Rob Bironas
kicked three eld
goals. Tennessees
revamped defense
did the rest.
Yes, we were a
little sloppy at spots,
yes we wish we
scoredmore points,
Tennessee coach
Mike Munchak said.
And well x some
of those things. But
we did what we had
to do to win the
football game.
Pittsburgh managed just 195
total yards and lost Pro Bowl center
Maurkice Pouncey, likely out of the
year with torn ligaments in his right
knee. Linebacker Larry Foote is also
done after rupturing his right biceps.
Weve got a lot of work to do,
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said.
Nobody cares about our problems.
Theyre glad weve got them. We
need to understand that. We need to
stick together and persevere.
Pouncey is the linchpin of a
retooled offensive line; Foote is the
wise sage for one of the NFLs best
linebacking groups.
Anytime you lose guys that are

NEW YORK Fussing with
her skirt and ubbing her shots,
Serena Williams was troubled in
the U.S. Open nal by the swirl-
ing breeze and the strong play of
Victoria Azarenka.
After one early miss, Williams
declared, I cant play in this
wind. After blowing a big lead
and dropping the second set,
Williams chucked her racket
toward the sideline, and it
bounced back onto the court.
In the end, Williams pulled her-
self together, as she usually does
when it matters the most. Facing
her only test of the past two
weeks, the No. 1-seeded Williams
overcame No. 2 Azarenka 7-5,
6-7 (6), 6-1 on Sunday for a
fth championship at Flushing
Meadows and second in a row.
Williams raised her Grand
Slam singles title count to 17,
the sixth-most in history and one
shy of Martina Navratilova and
Chris Evert. Williams collected
a $3.6 million prize, including a
$1 million bonus for producing
the best results during the North
American summer hard-court
circuit leading up to the U.S.
Open.
Helped by nine aces, one at
126 mph, Williams improved to
67-4 with a career-high nine titles
in 2013. Since a rst-round exit
at the 2012 French Open, she is
98-5 with 14 titles, winning four
of the past six Grand Slam tour-
naments.
Yes, this one did not come eas-
ily, even though it appeared to be
nearly over when Williams went
ahead by two breaks at 4-1 in the
second set. Williams served for
the match at 5-4 and 6-5 only
to have the gutsy Azarenka break
each time.
Still, Williams regrouped and
regained control.
This was a rematch of last
years nal, also won by Williams
in three sets, and two-time
Australian Open champion
Azarenka provided another chal-
lenge with her big swings off
both wings.

BUlletin BOaRD
scored 17 in the opener,
but 10 were direct results
of two more turnovers.
The Orange got a eld goal
right after a fumble and a
touchdown after return-
ing an interception to the
1-yard line.
With that game on
the line, the Lions twice
stopped Syracuse in the
nal ve minutes with the
Orange needing a touch-
down to win.
It carried over into the
Eastern Michigan game,
where the defense buckled
down after a so-so start to
smother the Eagles in the
second half, allowing only
55 yards in the nal 30
minutes.
Theyre playing very
well right now, Lions
coach Bill OBrien said.
Theres some veteran guys
over there that have played
a lot of football for us,
which is good. Very, very
pleased with our defense.
One of those veteran
guys has made the biggest
impact so far.
DaQuan Jones, hes
taken his game to the next
level, Butler said. Hes
played very physically. As
long as he continues to do
that, its going to be chal-
lenging for teams to run the
ball on us.
Jones has announced his
presence with authority in
the rst two games, racking
up 18 tackles while leading
the Big Ten in tackles for
loss (5.0) and sacks (2.0).
It all goes back to me
being the best that I can
be, Jones said. Im not
looking to get numbers but
have fun with my team-
mates, and thats something
that we did (Saturday). I
can be a playmaker to help
this defense out and thats
something that I really
want to prove out there
early. I can go out there, I
can be that guy.
Last year I was just try-
ing to do my job to help my
seniors out. This year
Im trying to go out there
and make plays and be an
impact guy.
A fellow senior, Carson,
led the squad Saturday
with 10 stops. Most impor-
tantly, he has been a stabi-
lizing force for a linebacker
corps that got very thin
very quickly with inju-
ries to Mike Hull and Ben
Kline.
A year ago, Carson often
found himself heading
to the sideline on obvi-
ous passing downs as the
Lions went with Mauti,
Hodges and Hull as part of
a big nickel package.
This season, he didnt
leave the eld for a defen-
sive snap until the fourth
quarter against the Eagles
with the Lions up by four
touchdowns.
Thats really what I was
working towards, Carson
said. Being in that pack-
age, a lot of times the
games on the line. Its
great to be on the eld in
those crucial situations.
I want to play the guys
that I trust the most in
critical situations, Butler
said. There may be some
times in dime where he
may not be the best match-
up, but hes one of our best
players. Id be a fool to take
him off the eld.
TOM COYNE
Associated Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind.
Michigan quarterback
Devin Gardner did what
Denard Robinson and just
about every opponent out-
side of Alabama failed to
do last season: make the
Notre Dame defense look
ordinary.
Gardner was 21-of-33
passing for 294 yards and
four touchdowns and ran
for another 82 yards and
a rushing touchdown in a
41-30 victory Saturday in
the nal scheduled game
in Ann Arbor that saw the
11th-ranked Wolverines
(2-0) score the second-
most points theyve had
in the 41-game rivalry that
will end, at least for the
foreseeable future, after
the teams play next season
in South Bend.
No. 21 Notre Dame
(1-1) gave up 460 yards to
Michigan, which is more
than the Irish defense
gave up in any game on
its way to a 12-0 regular
season last year. Only the
Crimson Tide with 529
yards in a 42-14 win in
the national championship
game had more.
Michigan coach Brady
Hoke said Gardner, who
was the Wolverines lead-
ing receiver in a 13-6 loss
to the Wolverines a season
ago when Robinson threw
four interceptions and
lost a fumble, allows the
Wolverines to run the pro-
style offense they want.
Were going to be multi-
ple enough personnel-wise
and also multiple enough
from a formation stand-
point, with two backs,
three backs, whatever it
takes, another offensive
tackle in, a lot of different
things that we like to do,
Hoke said. This was more
like what we want to do.
Gardner said it was
great to display what the
Michigan offense can do
in front of a record crowd
of 115,109, saying he
believes the offense can be
as good as he allows it to
be.
I feel like if I limit my
mistakes we can go as far
as we want, he said.
For the Irish, who
repeatedly failed to tackle
Gardner in the backeld
when it had opportunities,
the defense is left looking
for answers. After allow-
ing an average of just 305.4
yards and 12.8 points a
game last season, the Irish
have allowed an average of
411 yards and 23.5 points
against Temple (0-2) and
Michigan.
Notre Dame coach Brian
Kelly seemed more disap-
pointed in the failure of
the offense to take advan-
tage of opportunities
against than the defensive
problems, which included
a pair of key pass interfer-
ence calls and some blown
coverages.
Last year we had to rely
on our defense to win foot-
ball games. I dont want
to have to do that week
in and week out, Kelly
said during his weekly
teleconference Sunday. I
think there are going to
be some times when our
offense has to win some
ballgames.
Kelly said he is not say-
ing he doesnt believe the
Irish cant play dominant
defense, but said some
players have to grow into
their roles, such as Dan
Fox who replaced Manti
Teo at inside linebacker
and freshman Jaylon
Smith, the starter at out-
side linebacker.
Kelly isnt happy with
the way the Irish played
Saturday, but said hes
condent Notre Dame has
the talent needed to win.
Im condent that we
can x the things that
need to be xed and devel-
op the players that need
to be developed, he said.
I think that is the most
important thing from my
perspective.

AUSTIN, Texas Texas
red defensive coordinator
Manny Diaz on Sunday,
less than 24 hours after one
of the worst defensive per-
formances in the history of
the program.
Longhorns coach Mack
Brown announced that for-
mer Longhorns defensive
coordinator and Syracuse
coach Greg Robinson will
take over the job.
Our performance on
defense last night was
unacceptable, and we need
to change that, Brown
said.
BYU ran for 550 yards,
the most ever allowed by
Texas, in a 40-21 victory
against the Longhorns on
Saturday night, putting a
potential breakthrough sea-
son on the brink of another
big disappointment if
the Longhorns cant x
their defensive problems.
Texas (1-1) plays No. 25
Mississippi (2-0) at home
on Saturday.
Brown hired Diaz after
Texas nished 5-7 in 2010
and defensive coordinator
Will Muschamp left to be
the head coach at Florida.
The hire was a surprise
considering Diaz had been
defensive coordinator just
one season at Mississippi
State, but Brown called
him a rising star in coach-
ing who brought energy
and new ideas to his strug-
gling program.
Aside from a blowout
loss to Oklahoma, Diazs
rst season was a success
as Texas matured into the
best defense in the Big 12.
But the unit regressed into
the one of the worst in pro-
gram history in 2012. As
the season wore on, play-
ers complained that team-
mates werent lining up
correctly or playing hard
every game.
Texas hid some of those
problems with a 9-4 n-
ish and a bowl victory
and Brown shrugged off
questions if Diaz would be
replaced. But after the loss
to BYU, Diazs tenure was
being measured in min-
utes.

11 against Philadelphia.
Cardinals fnish sweep,
extend Central lead
It is a toughloss, but to be
in the nal and play against
the best player who
deserves to win today its
incredible, said Azarenka,
who is from Belarus. I gave
it all today. We showed our
hearts. We fought hard.
Four times, Azarenka
was only two points from
taking the opening set. At
one such moment, with
Williams serving at deuce
after a double-fault, she was
called for a foot fault, erasing
what would have been a 121
mph ace. There was another
foot-fault call in the second
set, too. They brought back
memories of the Americans
loss to Kim Clijsters in
the 2009 seminals, when
Williams was docked a point,
and later ned, for a tirade
against a line judge over a
foot-fault call.
There was no such out-
burst directed at ofcials
this time, although there
was that racket toss. After
the call in the matchs 10th
game, Williams simply put a
hand to her face, composed
herself, and won the point
with a down-the-line back-
hand she celebrated with a
st pump, some foot stomp-
ing and a yell of Come on!
Williams wound up hold-
ing there with a 104 mph
ace, part of what seemed to
be a match-altering stretch.
She won ve consecutive
games and 16 of 18 points to
take the rst set and go up a
break in the second.
You could see she
clicked, Mouratoglou said.
She realized she was not
aggressive enough. She
was letting Vika dictate too
much, and all of a sudden,
things completely changed.
No. 1-seeded Novak
Djokovic faces No. 2 Rafael
Nadal in the mens nal
Monday. Its the rst time
since 1996 that both U.S.
Open singles nals are 1-vs.-
2 matchups.
On Sunday, with for-
mer President Bill Clinton
among the announced crowd
of 23,584 in Arthur Ashe
Stadium, and Williams older
sister Venus in a front-row
seat, the fans were mostly
cheering for the American.
I denitely felt the love,
Williams said, so thank you
all so much for the support.
She equaled Stef Graf
with ve U.S. Open titles,
one behind Everts record of
six in the Open era, which
began in 1968. Williams
never had won two consecu-
tive U.S. Opens, but nowshe
has, adding to the trophies
she earned in New York in
1999 at age 17 then
2002 and 2008.
Those go alongside ve
from Wimbledon, ve from
the Australian Open, and
two from the French Open,
which she won this year.
Williams also became the
rst woman to surpass $9
million in prize money in a
single season, while topping
$50 million for her career.
Its incredible what shes
achieving, Azarenka said.
Shes playing denitely
her best tennis right now.
It really shows how focused
and how composed and
how much she can raise the
level.

After wrestling with it, IOC adds sport back
STEPHEN WILSON
AP Sports Writer
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina
Wrestling, a sport as ancient
as the games themselves, is back
in the Olympics after seven
months in limbo and even more
determined to keep its place for
centuries to come.
The International Olympic
Committee fixed what it admits
was a big mistake Sunday, voting
wrestling back onto the program
for the 2020 and 2024 Games.
Presenting new leadership and
a revamped sport, wrestling eas-
ily defeated bids from baseball-
softball and squash to regain its
Olympic status.
The result capped a fran-
tic six-month campaign by the
wrestling body FILA to save its
Olympic status after the IOC
executive board surprisingly cut
it from the list of core sports in
February.
We are aware of our mis-
takes and they will not happen
again, FILA President Nenad
Lalovic said. This crisis gave
us the strength to change and
we finally found out that we
can change. This was the most
valuable experience of all of this
journey.
Wrestling received 49 votes to
win in the first round of the secret
balloting by the International
Olympic Committee. Baseball-
softball got 24 votes and squash
22.
Wrestling has shown great
passion and resilience in the
last few months, IOC President
Jacques Rogge said. They have
taken a number of steps to mod-
ernize and improve their sport.
The vote followed final pre-
sentations by all three sports,
with Lalovic calling it the most
important day in the 2,000-year
history of our sport.
Wrestling goes back to the
ancient Olympics in Greece and
has been on the program of every
modern games except 1900.
The sport was caught off guard
when it was axed by the board
a decision that surprised even
most IOC members.
FILA reworked its structure,
giving women and athletes a
role in decision making. It added
two weight classes for women. It
adopted rule changes to make
the sport easier to understand
and more fun to watch, and
reward more aggressive wres-
tling.
Powerful countries and unlike-
ly political allies like the United
States, Iran and Russia threw
their weight behind the cam-
paign.
Wrestling was approved by the
IOC on Sunday as an additional
sport for 2020 and 2024. FILAs
goal now is win back a place in
the list of 25 core sports.
With wrestlings return, no
new sport has been added to
the 2020 Games, defeating the
original purpose of the IOCs
program review process.
Wrestlings reinstatement was
cheered by some of the biggest
names in the sport.
Its almost like you expect-
ed that to happen, former
American Olympic gold medal-
ist and coach Dan Gable told
The Associated Press. But we
certainly didnt expect what hap-
pened in February to happen,
and because of that you learn
and work through the whole pro-
cess.
Russian great Alexander
Karelin called it a big result for
us and for the new guys who are
coming (into the sport).
I think we have a great story,
great history and Olympic tradi-
tions, Karelin said.
Squash and baseball-softball
could potentially get another
chance to make it onto the 2020
program.
Squash was trying to make
the Olympics for the third time.
Mens baseball and womens
softball merged into a single
federation to try to return after
being dropped for the 2012 and
2016 Games.
Americans roll to Walker Cup victory
The Associated Press
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y.
Nathan Smith won
the deciding point in the
United States 17-9 vic-
tory over Britain and
Ireland in the Walker
Cup on Sunday, beating
Englands Nathan Kimsey
4 and 3 in the fth singles
match at historic National
Golf Links of America.
The United States,
ahead 8-4 entering the
nal day in the biennial
amateur event, split the
four morning foursomes
matches and won seven of
the 10 afternoon singles
matches.
The U.S. leads the
series 35-8-1. In 2011,
Britain and Ireland won
14-12 at Royal Aberdeen
in Scotland.
The 35-year-old Smith,
a four-time U.S. Mid-
Amateur champion from
Pittsburgh, won the par-3
13th and par-4 14th with
pars and ended the match
with a halve for bogey on
the par-4 15th.

won when MacKenzie
who eagled the hole
in regulation missed
a 5-footer. Svoboda shot
a 2-under 70 to match
MacKenzie at 12 under.
MacKenzie nished with
a 67.
Montreal Championship
SAINTE-JULIE, Quebec
Esteban Toledo won the
Montreal Championship
for his second Champions

Course. Perry, the Senior
Players Championship and

in consecutive tour starts
this summer, had a 70.
They each parred the
par-4 18th twice in the
playoff, and Toledo won
on the par-3 10th.
Pitino leads class of 12 into hoops Hall
HOWARD ULMAN
AP Sports Writer
SPRINGFIELD, Mass.
Rick Pitino remem-
bers the training meals at
the pizza place where his
Boston University teams
ate more than 30 years
ago.
Even Hall of Famers
have to start somewhere.
That obscure begin-
ning provided a founda-
tion for a coaching career
that took him to two NBA
teams and three other
colleges, all reaching the
Final Four and two win-
ning NCAA champion-
ships.
Coaches dont get in
the Hall of Fame, Pitino
said Sunday at his induc-
tion. Players put them in
the Hall of Fame and Ive
had a great journey along
the way.
It started for him as a
head coach in 1978 just 90
miles east of Springeld
Symphony Hall, where
the ceremony was held for
him and 11 other honor-
ees.
He had to learn the
trade from the bottom
at Boston University,
Pitino said. There were
those training meals, he
said, and the time when
champagne was served at
Midnight Madness.
Nine drunks showed
up, he said, and no one
else.
He spent ve years with
the Terriers, then two
as an assistant with the
New York Knicks before
spending the next two as
head coach at Providence,
leading the Friars to a sur-
prising berth in the Final
Four. He kept moving
two years as head coach
with the Knicks, eight
with Kentucky, four with
the Boston Celtics and the
past 12 with Louisville.
Just ve months ago, he
led the Cardinals to the
championship.
At BU, you learn how
to build the right way. At
Providence, I learned how
to dream. I always thought
anything is possible after
coaching that team,
Pitino said during his
20-minute speech, the last
of the day. At Kentucky, I
learned all about pressure
every single day. It was
unbelievable pressure and
it was very difcult and
that pressure brought out
the best in everybody.
Two former college
coaches were inducted as
part of the second straight
12-member class, the larg-
est in the Halls history
Jerry Tarkanian, 83,
who led UNLV to the 1990
NCAA championship,
and Guy Lewis, 91, who
took Houston to ve Final
Fours. Tarkanian, who had
heart surgery less than
two months ago, came on
stage with a walker. Lewis
was in a wheelchair. Both
smiled as they received
standing ovations.
Also inducted Sunday
into the Naismith
Memorial Basketball Hall
of Fame were Gary Payton,
the only NBA player with
20,000 points, 8,000
assists, 5,000 rebounds
and 2,000 steals; Bernard
King, who averaged 22.5
points in 15 NBA seasons
with ve teams; North
Carolina womens coach
Sylvia Hatchell; ve-time
WNBA All-Star Dawn
Staley; former Knicks
guard Richie Guerin; for-
mer NBA deputy com-
missioner Russ Granik;
and Oscar Schmidt, who
played in ve Olympics
for Brazil.
E.B. Henderson, who
learned basketball at
Harvard in 1904 then
introduced it to African-
American students in
Washington, D.C., and
four-time ABA All-Star
Roger Brown of the
Indiana Pacers were
enshrined posthumously.
Henderson laid the
foundation for the prog-
ress of African-Americans
from exclusion to domi-
nation of basketball,
Nikki Graves Henderson,
wife of Hendersons grand-
son, said in a recorded
message.
Payton was known for
his defensive prowess,
aggressiveness and trash-
talking.
I played hard because
I wanted to win every
time, he said of his
17-year career, nearly 13
of them with the Seattle
SuperSonics. It was all
for my crazy love for the
game.
For King, playing bas-
ketball as a kid involved
sometimes clearing snow
from a playground court
in Brooklyn.
I fell in love with bas-
ketball the rst time I
made a basket, he said.
Ten days before his 61st
birthday, Pitino stood on
stage with Hubie Brown,
head coach of the Knicks
when he was an assistant,
and Dick Vitale, the pair
he chose to present him
for induction.
Pitino never came close
in the pros to the success
he had in college. He had
losing records in ve of
his six NBA seasons.
After a loss to Toronto
on March 1, 2000, an agi-
tated Pitino urged people
to focus on the future,
saying, Larry Bird is not
walking through that door,
fans. Kevin McHale is
not walking through that
door, and Robert Parish is
not walking through that
door. And if you expect
them to walk through that
door, theyre going to be
gray and old.
On Sunday, while Pitino
posed for photos before
the ceremony, a blonde-
haired Bird showed up.
He nally walks
through the door, and I
said, What took you so
long to walk through that
door? And he said to me,
You dont want me now,
Pitino said, grinning.
Bird had his turn on
stage as the presenter of
Schmidt, a prolic scorer
who said he chose not to
play in the NBA because
that would have barred
him from playing for his
national team.

Inductee Rick Pitino speaks during the enshrinement ceremony for the 2013 class of the Naismith
Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame at Symphony Hall in Springfield, Mass., on Sunday.
We didnt see anything
that indicated that anything
like that was taking place.
And its natural when every-
thing was as close as it was
between who was going
to get in and not go in to
scratch your heads and try
to gure out and wonder
why, Helton said. But we
didnt see anything initially
(Saturday) night that indi-
cated that, but certainly well
go back through all the video
and everything to be sure,
because we take the responsi-
bility very serious to be sure
that its that everybody
has had a fair chance.
But an ESPN replay that
included communication
between Bowyer and his
team implied the spin was
deliberate. Bowyer was
shown the video after the
race and denied he spun
intentionally, a claim he
repeated throughout the
post-race activities.
We had a at tire or
something. It just snapped
around, Bowyer said, later
adding, I know its a lot of
fun for you guys to write a lot
of wacky things. Go ahead if
you want to, get creative. But
dont look too much into it.
In-car audio framed the
situation as his crew goad-
ing him into spinning his car
to bring out the yellow in an
effort to prevent Newman
from winning the race.
Thirty-nine is going to
win the race, Bowyer was
told over his radio.
Is your arm starting to
hurt? crewchief Brian Pattie
asked. After a pause, Pattie
said, I bet its hot in there.
Itch it.
Bowyers car then spun.
NASCAR did not have
access to that footage until
well after the race, and it is
presumably among the mate-
rials Helton was reviewing
Sunday.
Also, it became apparent
early Sunday morning that
Bowyer and teammate Brian
Vickers further aided Truex
by taking a dive over the nal
three laps.
When the race resumed
with three laps to go, four-
time series champion Jeff
Gordon was poised to claim
the 10th spot in the Chase,
and Joey Logano was ahead
of Truex in position to claim
the second wild-card.
But Bowyer and Vickers
both made pit stops in the
nal three laps that allowed
Logano to improve his nish-
ing position and move ahead
of Gordon to claim the 10th
Chase berth. That bumped
Gordon from contention and
freed the wild card for Truex.
Gordon was not eligible for
the wild card.
The AP reviewed team
communications for both
Bowyer and Vickers on
Sunday, and Vickers was told
by MWR general manager
Ty Norris to pit because we
need that 1 point.
Were probably going to
pit here on green, Norris
says.
Are you talking to me? a
surprised Vickers asks.
Vickers continued to ques-
tion the call, at one point ask-
ing, I dont understand, pit
right now?
Youve got to pit this time.
We need that 1 point, Norris
replies.
10-4. Do I got a tire going
down? Vickers asked.
Vickers then pitted as
the eld went green. When
he asked after if his crew
found anything with the tire,
Norris replied, Ill see you
after the race, Brian, I owe
you a kiss.
Bowyers radio communi-
cation was not as verbose,
but he had already pitted
twice after his spin, once to
change the tire and once for
Pattie to double-check for
any damage. The team then
called him down pit road a
third time with no explana-
tion just as the eld went
green.

From page 1B
Steelers
key contributors to your
game, its frustrating, but
thats the business were in,
Steelers defensive end Brett
Keisel said. Someones got
to step up.
Better hurry.
The Steelers hadnt lost
a home opener in a decade
and gured to have little
trouble against the Titans,
who gave up more points
than any team in the NFL
last season and brought in
Williams as an assistant. A
year removed from his role
in the bounty scandal with
the New Orleans Saints that
to a league suspension, the
former defensive coordina-
tors impact was immediate.
While Munchak stressed
coordinator Jerry Gray is
in charge of the play calling,
theres little doubt Williams
presence has keyed an atti-
tude shift in a unit that took
the brunt of the blame for a
6-10 season.
The Steelers came in with
10 straight victories inhome
openers, the longest streak
in the league. They went
winless in the preseason,
but stressed they were ne.
Doesnt look like it.
Following a bumpy offsea-
son in which Mike Wallace,
James Harrison and
Casey Hampton departed,
Pittsburgh insisted it was
not rebuilding. Maybe, but
the refurbishing project is
going to take some time.
Running back Isaac
Redman fumbled twice,
including once deep in
Tennessee territory. The
defense limited big plays,
but failed to generate a turn-
over or a momentum-swing-
ing sack.
The Titans didnt domi-
nate. They didnt have to.
Content to work between
the tackles with Johnson
and Battle, Tennessee con-
trolled the clock. The Titans
held the ball for over 34 min-
utes and asked quarterback
Jake Locker to do little more
than avoid mistakes.
Locker completed 11 of
20 passes for 125 yards, but
led Tennessee on a lengthy
scoring drive early in the
fourth quarter that gave the
Titans a 13-2 lead and sent
most of the crowd stream-
ing toward the exit.
The Titans needed 42
carries to run for 112 yards,
but what their runs lacked
in pop they made up for in
persistence.
The subdued ending
hardly seemed possible after
one of the more memorable
opening weekend ubs by
Tennessee kick returner
Darius Reynaud.
Shaun Suishams squib
kick was elded at the
Tennessee 1. Reynaud shuf-
ed into the end zone and
dropped to a knee. Ofcials
originally called the play
a touchback, but referee
Jerome Boger signaled a
safety after ruling the ball
never actually crossed the
goal line.
Pittsburghs euphoria
lasted all of eight plays. The
Steelers were driving fol-
lowing the free kick when
guard David DeCastro fell
on Pounceys right knee.
Pouncey laid on the ground
for several minutes before
being taken off on a golf
cart.

with 5:47 remaining, Colin
Kaepernick threw for a
career-high 412 yards and
three touchdowns, with
13 completions to Anquan
Boldin, and the San
Francisco 49ers beat the
Green Bay Packers 34-28
on Sunday.
Boldin had 208 yards
receiving in a spectacular
San Francisco debut and
Vernon Davis caught a pair
of touchdown passes from
Kaepernick, who marched
his team 80 yards on ve
plays to take the lead late.
The 49ers answered after
Packers rookie Eddie Lacy
put Green Bay ahead on a
2-yard run with 8:26 left.
Aaron Rodgers threw for
333 yards and three touch-
downs, but the Packers
departed from Candlestick
Park with another defeat
eight months after losing
45-31 in the NFC division-
al playoffs.
Saints 23, Falcons 17
NEW ORLEANS
Drew Brees passed for 357
yards and two scores, and
the Saints held on for the
win in coach Sean Paytons
return from his bounty ban.
Roman Harper secured
the win when he intercept-
ed a tipped fourth-down
pass in the end zone with
under a minute left.
Brees connected with
Marques Colston for a
25-yard touchdown pass
during which the receiver
also set a franchise mark
for catches with 533. Brees
also hit tight end Jimmy
Graham for a 7-yard score
in the third quarter.
Matt Ryan passed for
304 yards and touchdown
passes to Tony Gonzalez
and Julio Jones. He also
drove Atlanta to the Saints
3 in the nal minute before
falling just short.
Chiefs 28, Jaguars 2
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
Alex Smith threw two early
touchdown passes, Kansas
Citys defense dominated
all day and the Chiefs began
the Andy Reid era with a
victory at Jacksonville.
Jamaal Charles ran for
77 yards and a touchdown
before leaving the game
with a quadriceps injury,
but that was about the only
negative for the Chiefs.
Jacksonville advanced
past its own 36-yard line
just once, a stunning display
of offensive futility for the
rebuilding franchise. The
Jaguars nished with 178
yards, but for most of the
game were challenging the
team low of 117 yards set
last year against Houston.
It wasnt even close to
the start the new coach
Gus Bradley wanted, but
it was a clear indication of
how far the team has to go.
Bears 24, Bengals 21
CHICAGO Jay
Cutler passed to Brandon
Marshall for the go-ahead
touchdown in the fourth
quarter, helping Chicago
get the victory in Marc
Trestmans coaching debut
with the team.
It wasnt quite the dis-
play the Bears were looking
for after making some big
changes in the offseason.
But it was good enough.
The Bengals led by 11 in
the third quarter and were
up 21-17 early in the fourth
when Tim Jennings jarred
the ball from Mohamed
Sanu following a reception
and made the recovery.
Chicago took over at
its 19 and got an 8-yard
run from Matt Forte on
fourth-and-inches at the
Bengals 27to keep the
drive going. Cutler then
found Marshall in the front
corner of the end zone for
a 19-yard touchdown, giv-
ing Chicago a 24-21 lead
with 7:58 remaining.
Patriots 23, Bills 21
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.
Stephen Gostkowski hit
a 35-yard eld goal with 5
seconds left to send New
England to the road win.
Tom Brady set up the
decisive score by leading
a 49-yard, 12-play drive
during which he twice
completed passes to con-
vert third downs. It was
Bradys 36th career victory
in which the Patriots were
tied or trailed in the fourth
quarter.
Brady nished 29 of 52
for 288 yards passing and
two touchdowns in help-
ing the Patriots win their
season opener for the 10th
straight season.
The new-look Bills nearly
pulled off a stunning upset
in the rst game under
coach Doug Marrone and
rookie quarterback EJ
Manuel, who completed 18
of 27 passes for 150 yards
and two touchdowns.
Colts 21, Raiders 17
INDIANAPOLIS
Andrew Luck ran 19 yards
for the winning touch-
down, giving Indianapolis
its rst opening-day win
since 2009.
Luck was 18 of 23 for
178 yards with two touch-
down passes, but earned
his eighth career fourth-
quarter comeback by
scrambling for a score with
5:20 to go.
Oakland started Terrelle
Pryor at quarterback. He
was 19 of 29 for 217 yards
and one TD, and he broke
the Raiders rushing record
for a quarterback with 13
carries for 112 yards.
Lions 34, Vikings 24
DETROIT Reggie
Bush turned a short pass
into a 77-yard touchdown
in the third quarter and
nished with 191 yards of
offense to help Detroit pull
away from Minnesota.
Joique Bell ran for two
TDs, including a go-ahead
score that gave the Lions
their rst lead early in the
third quarter.
Matthew Stafford was
28 of 43 for 357 yards with
two TDs. His last score
was a 1-yard lob to rookie
tight end Joseph Fauria
with 6:47 left that sealed
the win.
Rams 27, Cardinals 24
ST. LOUIS Greg
Zuerlein kicked a 48-yard
eld goal with 40 seconds
left to lift St. Louis to the
comeback victory.
It was Zuerleins fourth
eld goal of the game for
the Rams, who trailed
24-13 after three quarters.
Larry Fitzgerald caught
two touchdown passes from
new quarterback Carson
Palmer and Arizonas
defense had a TD.
Jets 18, Buccaneers 17
EAST RUTHERFORD,
N.J. Nick Folk kicked
a 48-yard eld goal with
2 seconds remaining after
Lavonte Davids personal
foul penalty kept New
Yorks drive alive, and the
Jets pulled out an improb-
able opening victory.
With the Jets trailing
17-15 and time running
out, rookie Geno Smith
scrambled for 10 yards
and was shoved while
he was out of bounds by
David.
The 15-yard penalty
gave the Jets the ball at the
Buccaneers 30 and set up
Folks winning eld goal
on the next play.
Things appeared dim
for the Jets just moments
earlier when Rian Lindell
kicked a 37-yard eld goal
with 34 seconds left.
Seahawks 12, Panthers 7
CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Russell Wilson threw
for 320 yards for Seattle,
including a 43-yard touch-
down pass to Jermaine
Kearse in the fourth quar-
ter.
The Seahawks managed
just two eld goals before
Kearse beat cornerback
Josh Thomas down the
right sideline for the go-
ahead score with 10:13
left.
The Panthers held
Marshawn Lynch to 43
yards rushing, but Wilson
picked up the slack by com-
pleting 25 of 33 passes.
The Panthers threat-
ened to take the lead late,
but safety Earl Thomas
forced DeAngelo Williams
to fumble at the Seattle
8. Defensive tackle Tony
McDaniel recovered with
5:25 left. The Seahawks
ran out the clock from
there.
Dolphins 23, Browns 10
CLEVELAND Ryan
Tannehill passed for 272
yards and a touchdown,
leading the Dolphins to a
win over the Browns, who
fell to 1-14 in Week 1 since
1999.
Tannehill, who was given
more offensive weapons
for his second NFL season,
threw a 34-yard TD pass
to Brian Hartline in the
third quarter and drove the
Dolphins to a game-clinch-
ing TD in the fourth.
Daniel Thomas had
a 1-yard scoring plunge
with 6:48 left, putting the
Dolphins up by 10.
Miamis Cameron Wake
had 2 sacks and the
Dolphins defensive line
sacked Brandon Weeden
six times.

Arsenio Hall performs at Eddie Murphy: One Night Only, a celebration of Murphys career in Beverly
Hills, Calif. After two decades, Hall is returning to late-night television with The Arsenio Hall Show,
premiering tonight.
FRAZIER MOORE
APTelevision Writer
LOS ANGELES Did
fate decree that Arsenio
Hall would return to late
night after two decades
absence?
If so, hes answering
that comeback call tonight
with the premiere of The
Arsenio Hall Show (syn-
dicated; check local list-
ings for time and channel).
And hes itching to get
going.
You know how certain
things make you nervous?
he asked recently. I dont
like to y, but once Im on
the plane and were over
the Rockies and Im watch-
ing a movie, Im ne.
Right nowI feel like I do
when Im in the airport.
It was in 1987 that a
then-unknown Hall, brief-
ly stepping in for Joan
Rivers short-lived Fox
talk show, took ight as
the cool, hip alternative
to NBCs Tonight Show
titan Johnny Carson.
Then, in January 1989,
he debuted with his own
syndicated late-night show
against Carson. He proved
a formidable rival with
his party atmosphere (the
Dog Pound audience
greeted him with woofs
and other animal sounds
as well as applause) and
a wide range of guests,
including presidential can-
didate Bill Clinton (sport-
ing shades and wailing
Heartbreak Hotel on his
sax) and basketball great
Magic Johnson shortly
after announcing he was
HIV positive.
But by 1994, Hall was
facing new competition
from Tonight host Jay
Leno and David Letterman
on CBS. With ratings slip-
ping, he announced he
was leaving the late-night
arena, and, gracefully, he
did.
In the years that fol-
lowed, he kept a low pro-
le. A sitcom came and
went. He hosted Star
Search for a season. He
co-starred on a CBS drama
Martial Law for a couple
of years. Did standup.
He also devoted himself
to his son, Arsenio Jr., now
13, whose mother is Halls
ex, former manager and
down-the-street neighbor
Cheryl Bonacci.
I love being a dad,
he said. When kids got
together at Chuck E.
Cheese, there were a lot of
mothers and me.
But Hall yearned to
return to late night. In
June 2012 he announced it
was happening.
People say, How did
you know when to do it?
Several times before I had
tried!
False starts included a
meeting with studio big-
wigs he skipped because
his son was sick. Or the
nail in a piece of sushi that
broke his tooth the night
before an all-important
guest-hosting gig.
Signs like that, Hall
said, seemed to mean I
wasnt ready yet.
Now hes sure hes ready,
whatever skeptics may say.
I hear all the long-shot
talk: This is an impos-
sible thing to do after all
this time. The eld is so
crowded. But I still have
to pursue my dream!
Meeting with a reporter
at a rehearsal space in a
rawboned section of North
Hollywood while his new
house band was tuning up,
Hall radiated the charm
and high energy that made
him a hit with viewers so
long ago. At 58, he comes
across much the same
as ever lanky, boyish,
wide-open grin. The big-
gest difference: his mus-
tache is long gone. It had
too much gray in it, he
conded.
As part of his strategy
to reintroduce himself,
Hall became a contes-
tant on The Celebrity
Apprentice early in 2012
and ended up not only
gaining the exposure he
sought, but also winning
the competition.
Even so, do enough
viewers know who he is
or remember him to
get his new show off the
ground?
When people ask that,
Im like, Well, NO ONE
knew me the FIRST time!
I used to joke that people
thought Arsenio Hall was
a dorm at UCLA. So dont
I have a better shot THIS
time?
Aquarter-century ago, he
broke the late-night color
barrier, but in many ways
his show was refreshingly
color-blind. Inclusiveness is
his goal again.
I became the black
show before because the
other shows were really,
really not, he said. But
now (ABC late-night host
Jimmy) Kimmels MUCH
blacker than me: He is
juiced in to everybody
from Kobe (Bryant) to
(rapper) Rick Ross.
Besides, talk shows traf-
c in many of the same
guests, Hall observed.
What distinguishes one
show from the next is its
host and how he interacts
with those guests.
With opening night just
around the corner, Hall
will be receiving his rst
guests soon and staking
his new claim in late night.
I dont even know if I
can live through that rst
minute, he said excitedly.
You come out there, back
after a billion years, theres
gonna be all kind of animal
noises and people scream-
ing. What do you say? It
was a long doggone hia-
tus?
But he used a stronger
word than doggone, then
burst into laughter.
Arsenio fulflls dreamwith late-night return

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: Our
nanny, who is 58,
was diagnosed with
breast cancer just be-
fore I delivered baby
No. 2. The boys are
now 15 months and 4
weeks old.
Nora has started chemotherapy
after having surgery. I completely
understand that she has to attend to
her needs right now and focus on her
health, but she wanted to continue
working without it being an issue.
Nora has had to take off several days
already in addition to being as I
expected tired and unable to keep
up with my active toddler.
I start back to work soon and my
job is a demanding one. My husband
and I have discussed options and
feel it would be best to mandate that
Nora take this time off. We will have
to make other arrangements for child
care, and I cant guarantee Noras job
when she feels better.
She has taken such good care of our
first son it kills me to have to let her
go, especially while shes dealing with
cancer. Any advice?
Mommy of Two in South Carolina
Dear Mommy: Have a meeting with
Nora and explain your concerns. Ask
if she knows someone reliable who
could watch the children on those
days when she is too weak to do so.
Or contact a staffing agency about
getting a temporary fill-in.
Dear Abby: My 61-year-old father
was arrested recently for 30 counts of
possession of child pornography. He
has had a rough past he cheated
on my mother and has had multiple
stints in rehab for alcohol abuse. My
mother is in denial about the entire
situation.
Nine months ago, my husband
and I were blessed with the birth of
our beautiful baby girl. I feel I must
protect her from my parents and my
father in particular. Some of my fam-
ily agree with my decision, others
disagree. Am I wrong for not wanting
my father and possibly my mother
any longer in my life?
Tough Love in Florida
Dear Tough Love: No. And as for the
reaction of your relatives, remember
that you cant please everyone, and
the well-being of your child must
come first.
Dear Abby: How do I keep a co-work-
er from borrowing money from me?
I have my paycheck direct-deposited,
which means the money is available
earlier than Anitas.
She asked me yesterday if I would
lend her money for cigarettes, and I
told her I didnt have any cash on me.
When I went on break to buy lunch
with my ATM card, Anita came waltz-
ing over and immediately told the
cashier to ring up the cigarettes on
my ATM card! She said shed pay me
back more than the amount charged
to my card.
In the future, how can I handle
this if it happens again? I needed the
money for my own use, and now I
must wait until next week for her to
pay me back.
Buck Stops Here in Massachusetts
Dear Buck: One way to handle it
would be to be proactive and tell
Anita that what she did was rude and
you didnt like it. Another would be
to inform the cashier that what Anita
did was NOT OK with you, and to
never do it again.

To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus

Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.
(Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You love
life, and life loves you right back.
But you may want to have a talk
with life and explain the par-
ticular ways in which you like to
receive love.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The
proud man will take less than he
needs. Maybe that seems fool-
ish to less dignified types, but
such stoicism shows the world a
breadth of spirit that will make
great things possible.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you
know what youre doing, you
will only need a few tools to do
todays work well. If you dont
know what youre doing, you can
avoid overspending on tools by
asking an expert.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). With
whom you spend time matters
to you. Social influences will
change your mood. Thats why
youd rather skip lunch than eat
it with someone you dont enjoy.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Go for the
easy jobs first. Rack up a few
wins. People will investigate
what youre up to. If they see
you winning, they will have the
sense that youre a winner.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Staying
positive is as good for your
health as it is for your social life.
It doesnt make you happy to
know that many in the world are
suffering, but it does help you to
appreciate what you have.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Focus
on one thing, not many things.
Doing one thing will bring plea-
sure; whereas, splitting your time
among many tasks will make you
feel as though youre not getting
anything done.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People
value things that they put effort
into. Thats why you are better
off asking for other peoples help
and contribution than you would
be serving up the things you
believe they want.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If
the one in charge seems to have
no idea what to do next, its a
troubling feeling. Whats needed
is a strong leader with a vision.
Youd rather break out on your
own than waffle in a situation
thats going nowhere.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Life
will feel like a swing: Theres
momentum but a limited range
of motion. You move forward
only to be brought back to where
you started, but thats more fun
than hanging in the middle.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Go
ahead and spend some money
on making yourself look and feel
better. It only makes sense that
if you invest in yourself youll
value yourself more.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Making
it too easy for people will not
only inspire them to be lazy, but
they wont have as much fun.
Instead of performing to please
people, create a vacuum. Ask
them to make an effort, and then
wait expectantly.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Sept. 9). You
work tirelessly to achieve your
hearts desire. The important
thing to remember is to be per-
sistent in one direction. If you
keep changing your mind, youll
waste time. This month brings
a relationship commitment.
June is for whimsy. Your lucky
numbers are: 2, 4, 11, 20 and 15.
