No strong argument for varied workweeks

Excess phone charges
defeat prison goals
York County ofcials are under-
standably unhappy about this, but the
Federal Communications Commission
made the right call last week when it
voted to limit how much companies
can charge for phone calls made from
prison.
The FCC capped the calls at 21 cents
a minute for debit or prepaid calls and
25 cents a minute for collect calls.
Current fees nationally range from
50 cents to $3.95 to place calls, plus
additional per-minute rates of any-
where from 5 cents to 89 cents. Plus,
numerous fees are routinely tacked on.
These phone calls are a prot center
for prisons who have, well, a captive
customer base because inmates cant
have cells in their cells.
Reasonable revenue gains are OK to
provide services to people who dont
garner much public sympathy but
the key word there is reasonable.
In most cases, its families often
poor families who are punished by
high phone call costs. Mothers and
fathers, spouses, children of inmates
theyre the ones who pay to talk
to loved ones who, yes, broke the law,
but who are still needed by their fami-
lies. Allowing inmates to connect with
families increases their likelihood of
rehabilitation.
Maybe the FCC limit is too low
and it must be periodically reviewed
and revised. But some national rules
on this issue were needed.
Of course, it will leave a hole in some
prison budgets. York County Prison
received $775,277 from phone revenue
in 2012.
Its not yet clear howmuch these new
rates will cut into the county budget.
Ofcials will have to search for cre-
ative, equitable ways to make up that
revenue preferably not piling it onto
property tax payers.
But some rules needed to be set to
prevent egregious rates that essentially
resulted in some prisons (not necessar-
ily ours) stealing from the families of
inmates.
York Daily Record
These phone calls are a profit
center for prisons who have,
well, a captive customer base
because inmates cant have
cells in their cells.
Corruption crackdown
is a surprise fromChina
The newregime of Chinese President
Xi Jinping is turning up the heat on cor-
ruption there, and is making sure you
can read all about it. Stories of graft,
ofcial excess and corporate malfea-
sance abound, not only in foreign news
outlets but also in Chinas embold-
ened domestic publications and social
media.
Xi, who took ofce in March, has
responded aggressively to public com-
plaints about ofcial misconduct. He
has denounced corruption as a threat to
the existence of his ruling Communist
Party.
His crackdown has targeted compa-
nies as well as government bureaucrats.
Thats a good sign; China is overdue
for an upgrade of its shaky business
standards. The worlds second-largest
economy (after the U.S.) cant afford to
let cheaters siphon off a big share of its
wealth, as they have done for decades.
A cleanup would work in favor
of Western companies that are now
shut out of such industries as energy,
nance and real estate, where insiders
take care of their own. Western mul-
tinationals generally maintain strict
policies against bribery, kickbacks and
other improper activities. Many claim
they operate at a disadvantage in China
because they refuse to pay off bigwigs
in local government and state-owned
enterprises that dominate large sectors
of the economy.
Its good to keep a healthy dose
of skepticism about this crackdown.
Critics say its window-dressing. China
recently imprisoned a leading Beijing
anti-corruption activist, Xu Zhiyong,
who has pushed for government trans-
parency. Xi may see corruption as a
threat, but he still sees vocal opposition
to Communist rule as an even greater
threat.
Still, he seems to recognize the value
of a change in the culture, and the
Chinese public seems to welcome that.
Xi has eschewed lavish banquets,
opting for simpler meals. Four dishes,
one soup is a hot political catchphrase.
Ofcials who meet with Xi typically
leave their luxury cars and fancy wrist-
watches at home. Sales of French wine,
chic cigarettes and delicacies such as
shark n and abalone have plunged.
More than 2,200 ofcials have been
publicly disciplined this year for abus-
ing their positions for personal gain.
One collected $160,000 in gifts at his
daughters lavish wedding. Another,
who came under investigation when
a graphic sex tape leaked on to the
Internet, faces years in prison for tak-
ing bribes.
Chinese companies and foreign
enterprises operating in China stand
accused of corruption. Chinese author-
ities charge that British pharmaceutical
giant GlaxoSmithKline bribed doctors
and hospitals on a massive scale to
push its drugs and vaccines. The com-
pany has conceded that its executives
in China acted outside its policies and
appeared to have broken Chinese law.
Chinese companies that have long
operated with impunity face new
scrutiny. In a remarkable example, a
journalist using social media accused
state-owned China Resources of gross-
ly overpaying for a mining acquisition
and diverting some of the money to
executives involved in the transaction.
The giant conglomerate has denied
wrongdoing. Government watchdogs
reportedly are investigating.
The rich and powerful dont enjoy
the protection they once thought they
did. Bo Xilai, a populist Chinese poli-
tician, faces corruption charges. His
wife was convicted last year in the mur-
der of a British businessman who had
threatened to expose the familys hid-
den offshore wealth. The murder illus-
trated how some high-ranking Chinese
had felt free to operate outside the law.
Xis crackdown is a work in progress.
Unlike the tradition of the American
presidency, where the rst 100 days
typically bring a rush for change,
Chinas leaders tend to set priorities,
methodically build support and deliv-
er over the course of years. But given
Chinas historic protection of insiders
and tolerance of corruption, this effort
is a pleasant surprise.
The Chicago Tribune
Its good to keep a healthy
dose of skepticism about this
crackdown. Critics say its
window-dressing.
The indignation was likely swift and
strong for many. There are Luzerne
County employees who only work 32.5
hours a week! Typical union impu-
dence, classic govern-
ment waste!
And if youre like
most employed people
in the last decade or
so, you think of all the
hours you work beyond
40 to get all the added
work done without
extra pay just out of
concern of keeping your
job. Or you work more
than 40 hours a week
and get paid, but its all minimum
wage with no benets because youre
scrambling from part-time post to part-
time post.
So blowing your lid over Sundays
article about those county slackers
might be a justiable reaction, but Im
thinking were actually getting angry
over the wrong thing.
Statistics get messy here, but its
worth pointing out a few:
According to the U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics American Time
Use study in 2012, employed people
worked an average of 7.7 hours a day,
which would be a 38.5-hour workweek.
Yet in a 2008 poll, the National
Sleep Foundation, respondents
claimed to be spending an average
of nearly 4.5 hours each week doing
additional work from home on top of a
9.5 hour work day. Thats a total of 52
hours a week.
Then theres the Organization
For Economic Co-Operation and
Developments annual global report of
hours worked per year in 34 member
countries, which showed in 2011 the
average American worker put in 1,797
hours in the year, about 34.5 hours per
week which might sound low, but it
put us ahead of Germany (1,330/25.6),
The Netherlands (1,336/25.7) and the
United Kingdom (1,611/31) to name
few.
And if you think youve been
working more now than in the past for
pretty much the same pay, youll nd
support in a 2010 Center for American
Progress report that said the typical
middle-income family put in an aver-
age of 11 hours more a week in 2006
than in 1979.
I warned the statistics get messy.
So grumble about the fact that some
county union heads whine at talk of
ending the 32.5 hour work week. You
probably have a fair gripe.
But I reserve my frustration for a
far more bizarre fact: The county has
10 collective bargaining agreements,
and a week runs 32.5 hours in one, 35
in another, 37.5 in a third and 40 in a
fourth. The contract for the assistant
district attorneys and public defenders
dont mention required hours other
than a minimum of 1,000 a year for
part-timers.
Heck, theres one union that has a
32.5-hour week for employees over
here and 35 hours for employees over
there, under the same contract.
You want to talk about wasting tax
dollars: How much extra do we pay
to keep track of such a hodgepodge
of requirements? How much easier is
it for fraud or errors to slip through
the cracks? How much more is wasted
negotiating 10 different contracts with
such widely different terms over some-
thing as seemingly simple as hours in a
workweek?
Union heads quoted in Sundays
article by Jennifer Learn-Andes made
valid arguments for caution in trying
to standardize the workweek while
keeping total wages steady. The theory
sounds logical: Increase hours for each
individual and reduce staff accord-
ingly, but a clear-eyed look at hard data
needs to be done to prove it will work.
That said, streamlining govern-
ment services is not an option, its an
essential. The majority of taxpayers
clearly no longer accept and many
can likely no longer afford perpetual
property tax increases with no sign
of true spending control. The unions
need to get out in front of the issue.
Stop giving reasons why a uniform
work week shouldnt happen and start
nding ways to make it reality.
Because even if one union can justify
a 32.5 hour workweek, no union can
justify the absurdity of half-a-dozen dif-
ferent denitions of that term.

YOUR OPINION: LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR
Advocate rebuts
water cure critics
Regarding the critical letter to the
editor of the work my wife Connie, the
water cure team and I did on the water
cure, it never would have been written
had the writer known the truth.
View the water cure TV news specials
from WYOU, WVIA, FOX TV and WJZ
Baltimore. Google water cure TV news
specials. All are on watercure2.org.
This should have been accepted long
ago, but because we are so addicted to
money we are blind to any solution to
high-prot problems.
Its disgusting that my wife and I spent
most of our lifes savings to get the proof
out when it took Iran only two weeks to
verify it and that got Dr. Batmanghelidj
released from prison. Our leaders have
ignored this free solution since 1983, but
Muslims now enjoy the solution while
Americans die from often easily cured
problems. Meanwhile, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention and
the Journal of the American Medical
Association recognized the truth while
our government and other agencies
ignore it.
Do a Google search for Saudi Gazette,
salt a cure for 73 illnesses. Google New
York Times, Salt we misjudged you.
If doctors and prominent people
werent threatened with nancial sanc-
tions, everyone would know the truth.
The more money made on a problem,
the more impossible it is to get rid of the
problem. If it werent for memorization-
based education, students would be
better educated in half the time and be
thinkers, problem solvers and job creators
rather than memorizers who have had
their inherent genius, imagination and
creativity stolen from them. If science is
so great, why does every health problem
get worse and more protable? Could it
be to protect our $3 trillion-a-year health
care business?
Any experts care to debate our team?

looking for family
I am interested in corresponding with
any descendants of Bridget F. Judge
Keeney (Mrs. Neal) and Catherine M.
Katie Judge Neuer (or Newer) (Mrs.
Roy), who grew up in Wilkes-Barre.
These women were the daughters
of Patrick and Margaret Walsh Judge,
who immigrated from Ireland in 1883.
Bridget and Catherine had at least three
brothers: Michael, John and Martin
Judge. Their brother John was my grand-
father. Im looking to make contact with
any of these Judge descendants for the
purposes of family history research.
I would be very happy to hear from
any of these family members. My email
address is [email protected].

tied together.
The Aug. 13 proposals
have the union seeking a
seven-year deal and the
district seeking a six-year
one.
The union proposed
raises according senior-
ity steps ranging from
1.83 percent to 3.02 per-
cent in each of the seven
years. The district offered
raises from 2.28 per-
cent to 2.86 percent for
ve years, except for the
2011-2012 school year, in
which a wage freeze was
proposed.
Despite the wage freeze
that year, each employee
would be given a $750
stipend, according to the
district.
The union also seeks
$500 for top step employ-
ees for 2010-2011 and
2011-2012.
In theory, teachers will
be paying for the freeze
until they retire, Dolman
said, because their sala-
ries for the rest of the
years will be lower.
The effect of the
freeze will effect teachers
for years, she said. A
person may work in the
district for 35 years. You
want them to take a true
freeze and pay for it the
next 35 years?
According to district
calculations, the union
wage plan costs $1.86
million or an increase of
20.42 percent, and the
districts plan costs $1.01
million or an increase of
11.51 percent.
Neither the district nor
the unions most recent
health care proposal con-
tains a premium share,
and both sides agreed
to a PPO through the
Northeast Pennsylvania
School District Health
Trust. They currently
have a more expensive
traditional Blue Cross
plan.
The deductible and
the health insurance opt-
out cost are the sticking
points.
The union proposed
$100/$300 deductibles for
individual/family plans
and the district proposed
$250/$500. The district
wants a $5,000 payment
cap if an employee opts
out of the plan, but the
district wants to continue
receiving 50 percent of
the cost of the plan, which
amounts to about $12,500
for a family plan.
The union proposal
saves $70,000 and the
district proposal saves
$260,000, according to
the district.
The union warned of
the costs to the district
associated with a strike.
Members of the sup-
port staff will need to be
brought in on the make-
up days at the end of the
year. Those employees
are guaranteed to work a
specic number of days
in their contract and will
likely require overtime.
Holland and Dean said
they plan to schedule
some new dates to nego-
tiate.
Union members have
worked under the terms
of an expired contract for
over three years.
Under state law, teach-
ers may strike twice in
one school year.
The rst strike must end
in time for students to get
180 school days in by June
15 or by the last day of the
scheduled school year. If
the rst strike threatens
that deadline, both sides
must go into mandatory,
non-binding arbitration.
If a second strike is called
after arbitration, it must
end in time for students
to get 180 school days by
June 30.
Once again, a contin-
gent of teachers staged an
informational picket out-
side the meeting.
The Wyoming Area
Education Association
represents 160 teachers,
librarians and guidance
councilors. John Holland,
the regional director of
the Pennsylvania State
Education Association
and negotiator for the dis-
trict, said it all boils down
to wages.
We have agreements
on many items, but it
seems salary is the stick-
ing point, Holland said.
They want a wage freeze,
and were seeking a mod-
est increase.

According to the investi-
gation ndings, the bureaus
Gas Safety Division received
an email from a Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration representative
noting a person describing
himself as a UGI-PNG employ-
ee had alleged that a leak on
a high-pressure gas distribu-
tion line had been discovered
and subsequently repaired by
the company using improper
clamps on Saturday, May 12,
2012 , and that the clamps
used for the repair blew out on
Tuesday, May 15, and that the
gas company may be trying to
cover up the release.
The report goes on to spell
out that as a result of the Route
309 incident, the Gas Safety
Division conducted an expand-
ed investigation of UGI-PNG s
leak classication, surveys and
management systems and com-
pliance with state and federal
regulations.
A review of records over a
one-year period revealed that
UGI-PNG was not compliant
with federal/state regulations,
the Bureau of Investigations
and Enforcement found. The
report states UGI-PNG inade-
quately monitored and repaired
leaks, incorrectly classied
leaks, inadequately document-
ed and maintained documenta-
tion of leak survey and dispatch
data, and improperly used
and documented its use of the
Emergency One Call System.
Investigators ndings
In all, 12 violations or omis-
sions were found by investiga-
tors, most of which were viola-
tions of state and federal laws.
In addition to the $1 million
penalty UGI-PNG has agreed
to pay, regulators are also call-
ing for additional safety mea-
sures to be taken, including
the implementation of an auto-
mated, computer-based system
of recording and tracking the
results of leak surveys that
will be utilized by UGI-PNG s
employees and outside contrac-
tors performing leak surveys,
mapping, investigations and
repairs.
The history of violations was
taken into consideration when
determining the penalty, the
ndings show, noting that in
the past ve years, UGI-PNG
or its subsidiaries have been
involved in at least nine cases
arising from alleged gas safety
violations.
The substantial civil penalty
in this proceeding is warrant-
ed, the report states.
Utility response
In its chance to make a state-
ment led as part of the report,
staff attorney Kent D. Murphy
said UGI-PNG will take neces-
sary actions to ensure future
compliance. As part of that, the
company writes in the report
that it plans to hire a substan-
tial number of employees.
High on the list of priorities
are increased numbers of con-
struction inspectors, regulatory
compliance specialists, train-
ing personnel, and additional
workers trained in corrosion
prevention and other distri-
bution integrity management
functions, UGI-PNG includes

from 1986 through May
2013, most recently in busi-
ness management.
Gagliardi has a masters
degree in government and
politics from Georgetown
University, a bachelors
degree in government and
history from Kings College
and a diploma in national
security studies from the
Naval War College. He has
17 years of experience with
the federal government,
20 years as a freelance
writer and has held various
customer-service and sales
positions in private industry.
Hudgeon, Wilkes-Barre,
has a bachelors degree in
business administration
from National University.
He has worked as an electri-
cian and also was employed
as maintenance manager for
various businesses, includ-
ing The Malakite Group in
Mineola, N.Y. and Lafayette
Ambassador Bank in
Nazareth.
Mitchell had withdrawn
his application for the con-
troller ballot slot awarded to
Medico Olenginski because
he did not want to close his
business for four years if he
would be elected. He said
Tuesday he could be a full-
time controller and still keep
his business operational for
four months because he has
an assistant and can meet
with clients outside county
business hours.
He supports councils
plans to honor the home
rule charter directive to
appoint someone.
To keep the ofce vacant
until the end of the year I
think is unfair to the tax-
payers of the county who
expect an independent
voice, especially with the
upcoming establishment of
the countys 2014 budget
and tax rates for the future,
Mitchell said.
The temporary appointee
will be paid $1,406 every
two weeks through Jan. 3,
when the controller elect-
ed in November will take
ofce. Medico Olenginski is
running against Democrat
Michelle Bednar.
County Council agreed
to publicly interview the
applicants starting at 6 p.m.
Thursday in the council
meeting room at the court-
house. The applicants will
be interviewed separately
and kept out of the room
while other contenders are
being interviewed to be fair,
council decided.
Council members plan
to choose someone at their
Aug. 27 meeting.
James May, spokesman
for PennDOT, said the
project will be nearly
complete by November,
but one section
between Vince and Cedar
streets wont get a nal
coat of pavement until
early spring. PennDOT
originally had thought
the project would be n-
ished this year.
When we ripped up
the road we found pock-
ets where the concrete
under-base had dete-
riorated, May said. So
we decided to x the
concrete under-base and
a rough coat will be put
down before winter sets
in. Well have to come
back in the spring to pave
the nish coat.
May said there may be
a few cosmetic things
left to complete in the
spring as well, but he
said most of the project
will be done by early
November.
The delay wont be
as bad as some people
think, May said. If the
weather cooperates, well
get most of the project
done before the tempera-
tures drop.
May said some people
might wonder why the
project cant be nished
this year. He said that
when temperatures get
into the mid 40s and
lower, the paving will not
hold up as well as when
its applied during warm-
er temperatures.
Theres always a temp-
tation to rush to get a
project done, May said.
But our engineers feels
its better to get it done
right even if we have to
wait until spring.
He said the project
began in November 2010
with utility work that
needed to be done before
road construction began.
He said PennDOT has
been working on the proj-
ect for three years.
May and Taluto offered
updates on other major
road projects in Luzerne

Penn State quarterbacks Tyler Ferguson, left, and Christian Hackenberg throw during the
teams practice Friday in State College.
DEREK LEVARSE
[email protected]
A month ago, the situation seemed
very clear to Bill OBrien.
Spend the rst two weeks of camp
on his quarterback competition.
Spend the last two weeks getting his
starter ready for the opener against
Syracuse.
But Tyler Ferguson and Christian
Hackenberg continue to make it a
tough decision.
In a series of interviews Tuesday,
OBrien said he would likely pick a
starter by the end of the week for the
Aug. 31 opener against Syracuse. The
Penn State coach emphasized that he
expects both players will see the eld
at some point early on.
These are two of the best young
quarterbacks Ive ever coached,
OBrien said, rst in a radio interview
on ESPNs Mike & Mike, and then
again to reporters in State College. Ive
never had more fun coaching quarter-
backs than Ive had coaching these two
guys. Theyre bright guys. They work
at it, they compete in practice, theyve
got good demeanors, theyve got good
huddle command. Ive had a lot of fun
coaching both of these guys.
OBrien said that the starter will get
most of the practice reps next week and
the majority of the snaps in the game
against the Orange at MetLife Stadium
in East Rutherford, N.J.
But where OBrien was reluctant to
pull Matt McGloin last season in any
situation, the coach concedes that it
will be different in 2013 because he
doesnt have a veteran starter.
In this situation where you have
two young guys, I think its important
for each guy to continue to earn their
stripes and continue to gain the respect
of their teammates, OBrien said. Until
I feel really good about where thats at,
Id say both guys, its very close.
The guy thats the starter is going
to be the starter. But I think its
important when you have two young
guys, its a totally different situation
than last year. Whoever the backup is
is a young guy that needs to get his
feet wet a little bit. So, why not play
him a series here or there, just to get
him into a major college football game
and let him get his feet wet?
Infirmary report
Starting right tackle Adam Gress
continues to be hampered by a knee
injury, but OBrien expects him to
return to practice soon. Converted
tight end Garry Gilliam has run with
the rst team in his absence.

DUNCAN, Okla. With
the simplest of motives
breaking up the boredom
of an Oklahoma summer
three teenagers followed an
Australian collegiate baseball
player who was attending
school in the U.S. and killed
him with a shot to the back
for the fun of it, prosecutors
said Tuesday as they charged
two of the teens with murder.
As the boys appeared in an
Oklahoma courtroom, a 17-year-
old blurted out, I pulled the
trigger, then
wept after a
judge told him
that Tuesdays
hearing wasnt
the time or
place to sort
out the facts of
the case.
Prosecutor JasonHicks called
the boys thugs as he told
Stephens County Judge Jerry
Herberger how Christopher
Lane, 22, of Melbourne, died
on a city street.
Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and
James Francis Edwards, Jr.,
15, of Duncan were charged
with rst-degree murder and,
under Oklahoma law, will
be tried as adults. Michael
Dewayne Jones, 17, of Duncan
was accused of using a vehicle
in the discharge of a weapon
and accessory to rst-degree
murder after the fact. He is
considered a youthful offender
but will be tried in adult court.
Im appalled, Hicks said
after the hearing. This is not
supposed to happen in this
community.
In court, Hicks said Luna
was sitting in the rear seat of a
car when he pulled the trigger
on a .22 caliber revolver and
shot Lane once in the back.
Hicks said Jones was driving
the vehicle and Edwards was
in the passenger seat.
Edwards has had run-ins
with the law previously and
had been in court Friday, the
day of the killing, to sign doc-
uments related to his juvenile
probation.
I believe this man is a
threat to the community and
should not be let out, Hicks
said as he requested no bond
for Edwards. He thinks its all
a joke.

SAN FRANCISCO
Bostons Ryan Dempster was
suspended for ve games and
ned by Major League Baseball
for intentionally hitting
Yankees star
Alex Rodriguez
with a pitch
last weekend.
The penalty
was announced
Tuesday by
MLB senior
vice president
Joe Garagiola Jr., two days
after Dempster hit A-Rod in the
second inning at Fenway Park.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi
was ned for arguing with plate
umpire Brian ONora.
Dempsters ne was $2,500
and Girardis was $5,000,
people familiar with the dis-
cipline told The Associated
Press. They spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because the
amounts were not announced.
Dempster wont appeal the
decision.
I thought it was in the best
interest of my team to go ahead
and serve my suspension, he
said before Boston played the
Giants in San Francisco.
He was scheduled to pitch
Saturday at the Los Angeles
Dodgers, but now could be
pushed back to next Tuesdays
homestand opener against
Baltimore. He will throw a sim-
ulated game on Friday.
Earlier Tuesday, Girardi
insisted it would be open
season on Rodriguez if MLB
failed to suspend Dempster.
I think I made my feelings
pretty clear then, he said after
the suspension was announced.

Philadelphia Eagles Michael Vick passes during the first half Thursday against the Carolina Panthers in Philadelphia. Vick was named the Eagles
starter for their season opener on Tuesday.
DAN GELSTON
AP Sports Writer
PHILADELPHIA Michael Vick
took a pay cut and had to compete for
his job when he returned to the Eagles.
Part of the choice had to do with
the up-tempo offense mapped out by
new coach Chip Kelly.
I just thought, Vick said, this
was the best opportunity, the best t
for me.
Turns out, Vick was the best t for
Kelly.
With his rst chance to put his
stamp on Philadelphias offense, Kelly
named Vick the starting quarterback
on Tuesday, giving the veteran the
nod over Nick Foles after a sterling
effort in the preseason.
Hes our starter for the season, Kelly
said. Its not a one-game trial basis.

PITTSBURGH Mike
Tomlin is running out of
patience. Even worse, his team
is running out of running backs.
The Pittsburgh Steelers
muddled through another list-
less preseason performance on
Monday night, losing to the
Washington Redskins 24-13
that did little to allay the coachs
concerns with three weeks to go
before the games start to count.
We need to get better in a
hurry, Tomlin said.
And get healthy too.
Rookie running back LeVeon
Bells professional debut lasted all
of four carries before he left with a
sprained right foot. Fullback Will
Johnson followed him to the side-
line with a rib injury while Baron
Batch sustained a stinger after
taking a particularly vicious hit.
The trio joined Isaac Redman,
who sat out as a precaution
after suffering a stinger in prac-
tice, on an increasingly crowded
training table.
While Tomlin expects Johnson,
Batch and Redman to return soon,
Bells status wont be determined
until later. The second-round draft
pick was scheduled to undergo
an MRI on the foot Tuesday and
a determination wont be made
until later in the week on his avail-
ability for Saturdays game against
Kansas City.
Whoever is on the eld will
be tasked with trying to build
some positive momentum head-
ing into the nal days of train-
ing camp. There wasnt much to
Halfway through preseason, Steelers still sloppy

For The Times Leader
Shake It Cerry is the headlining trotter leading a
large group of 2-year-old lly trotters invading The
Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs for four divisions of
the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes (PASS).
The daughter of Donato Hanover has been just sen-
sational in her three lifetime starts for trainer Jimmy
Takter. Her most recent start in the $321,700 Merri
Annabelle was indeed the most impressive, as she
blasted to the lead off the wing and never looked back,
scoring in a sensational 1:53.3. She indeed has looked
just devastating, and I expect her to extend that perfect
record in tonights ninth race.

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins signed forward Pierre-
Luc Letourneau-Leblond to an
American Hockey League con-
tract Tuesday.
A seven-year veteran from
Levis, Que., Letourneau-
Leblond skated with the Norfolk
Admirals during the 2012-13
season, recording three goals,
ve assists and 98 penalty min-
utes in 33 games.
Letourneau-Leblond, 28,
has appeared in 275 AHL con-
tests between time spent with
Abbotsford, Albany, Lowell and
Norfolk, compiling 47 points
(21g-26a) and 1,061 PIM.
Originally drafted by New
Jersey in the seventh round
(216th overall) of the 2004
NHL Entry Draft, Letourneau-
Leblond played in 37 NHL
games from 2008-11 as a mem-
ber of the Devils. He has also
appeared in three matches with
the Calgary Flames.
Pens Bylsma out of jury duty
PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh
Penguins coach Dan Bylsma
was excused from jury duty in
two separate trials because of
concerns he might miss a Team
USA Hockey Camp scheduled
this weekend in Washington,
D.C.
The Pittsburgh Post-
Gazette reports Bylsma, who
will coach Team USA at the
Winter Olympics in Sochi
in February, was summoned
for jury duty Monday in
Allegheny County. Pittsburgh
is the countys seat.
Bylsma was considered for
duty in a homicide trial and
a drug case, but was excused
over concerns those trials
could last more than a couple
of days.
Bylsma tells the newspaper
he was very interested in being
part of the process of jury selec-
tion but also says the week-
end camp will be the only time
he can see his Team USA play-
ers before February.
Flyers fans watch paint dry
Ever watch a movie thats
so bad its good? The Flyers
attempt to drum up excitement
for their upcoming season is
exactly like that.
Thanks to a diligent social
media campaign, reportedly
more than 100 people showed
up at the Wells Fargo Center
on Monday morning to par-
ticipate in an event that invites
comparisons to some of minor
league baseballs most absurd
promotions. In this case, fans
and their families gathered to
help the club set a Guinness
World Record for the most
people to simultaneously watch
paint dry.
While the world-record
aspect of the promotion is iffy
at best it doesnt appear
there is a standing record
for people watching paint dry,
so presumably one person
showing up would have created
a record fans seemed to gen-
uinely enjoy the opportunity to
get into the hockey spirit.
One lucky fan even won a con-
test that earned him the privi-
lege of painting the goal crease.

Washington, Panama win LLWS elimination games
JOHNWAWROW
APSportsWriter
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT
A six-run third inning proved just
enough for Sammamish, Wash.,
to stay in contention at the Little
League World Series.
Austin Oh drove in the nal two
runs of the rally and the Northwest
champions hung on for 6-5 win
over Nashville, Tenn., in an elimi-
nation game Tuesday night.
Aguadulce, Panama, avoided
elimination with far more air,
scoring four times with two outs in
the bottom of the sixth to pull out
an 8-7 win over Taoyuan, Taiwan.
Panamas winning run came home
when Jose Gonzalez was struck by
a pitch with the bases loaded.
In knocking off Taiwan, Panama
(3-1) advances to face one of the
two other remaining International
Division teams Tijuana,
Mexico, or Tokyo on Thursday.
Sammamish (3-1) moves on to
a matchup Thursday against one
of the two other teams remaining
in the U.S. bracket Chula Vista,
Calif., and Westport, Conn.
Ohs single to center drove
in Will Armbruester and then
Jack Matheson, who scored on
an errant throw by center elder
Robert Hassell.
Armbruester, Jack Carper
and Dalton Chandler each had
RBI singles during the rally that
put Sammamish ahead 6-2. The
Washington team had six of its
eight hits in the third inning and
the rally came after the teams rst
six batters were struck out by Trae
McLemore.
Ben Pickman had two hits,
including a solo home run in the
fth that rounded out Nashvilles
scoring.
In the International bracket
elimination game, getting hit
in the foot never felt so good to
Gonzalez.
As the inelder limped his way
toward rst base, Edgardo Rosales
was celebrating on his way home
from third with the decisive run
for Panama, which overcame a 7-4
decit.
The only thing I was think-
ing was to try to get on base
one way or another, Gonzalez
said through interpreter Gilbert
Monell. And after being hit by the
pitch I felt very happy.
Jordan Agrazal had three RBIs,
including a two-run single in the
sixth. And Rosales would not have
been in a position to score had he
not reached base because of a two-
out error by Yeh Tung-Jua, who
bobbled a grounder to third.
It was a difcult game. It was
important that we won, man-
ager Luis Gonzalez said through
Monell. I congratulate all the kids
on the other team for their effort.
Our team never gave up, and that
made us get the victory.
For Taiwan, it was a shock-
ing turn of events for the tour-
naments youngest team, which
includes ve 11-year-olds the
most of any squad. Several Taiwan
players, including catcher Lee
Chen-Hsun, broke down in tears
following the game.
Panama catcher Juan Crisp and
several teammates went over to
console their opponents.
I saw a couple of players on
their team crying, and even a
couple on our team, manager
Gonzalez said. It was a great
game. Theyre kids. You can
expect that.
Pitching propels RailRiders past IronPigs
Fromstaf, wire reports
LEHIGH VALLEY
After giving up eight runs
a day earlier, the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre pitching staff
cooled Lehigh Valleys
bats, allowing no extra-
base hits as the RailRiders
defeated the IronPigs 3-1
on Tuesday at Coca-Cola
Park.
The IronPigs only run
came on an error in the
bottom of the second when
Ronnier Mustelier misred
on a throw to third off a
single to right eld.
The error allowed
the advancing Cesar
Hernandez to score
and give Lehigh
Valley a 1-0 advan-
tage.
Scranton/Wilkes
starting pitcher
Chase Whitley
settled in after the
unearned run, allow-
ing just one hit
over the next three
innings. Whitley
earned the win striking
out four in ve innings of
work.
In the top of the
fth, the RailRiders
offense started to
click. Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre com-
piled four hits,
including run-
scoring singles
by Mustelier and
Alberto Gonzalez to
give the RailRiders a
2-1 lead.
The RailRiders
added an insurance
run in the top of the sixth
when Randy Ruiz laced
an RBI-double to left eld
to increase the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre lead to 3-1.
Dellin Betances replaced
Whitley in the bottom of
the sixth, allowing just
one hit and no runs while
striking out four in three
innings of work.
Jim Miller shut the door
on the IronPigs, allowing
no hits and securing his
fth save of the season.
The RailRiders will

Pawtucket at 7:05 p.m.
Fan with ALS wins funeral
The Lehigh Valley
IronPigs announced the
winner of its funeral give-
away during Tuesday
nights game.
Steve Paul of
Freemansburg got a stand-

announced as the recipient
of a funeral package valued
at nearly $10,000.
Fans had to submit a 200-

McClatchy News Service
Its the time of the year when
fantasy football drafts rule the week-
ends.
Many leagues will be won on draft
day, but just as many, maybe more,
will be won by being a savvy fantasy
owner throughout the season.
Heres 10 tips to help you this
season:
1. Draft a top-notch running
back immediately: Youve heard
this song and dance for years now,
but take notice this season. The
quarterback and receiver position
are big-time deep, and with dura-
bility of running backs always a
concern, owning a back with top-
10 value is a must. You dont want
Steven Jackson or DeMarco Murray
as your No. 1 RB.
2. Wait on quarterbacks, but
not too long: If your league con-
sists of 12 teams, its conceivable
every owner in your league would
be ne at QB if the top 12 went, in
no particular order, like this: Aaron
Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Drew
Brees, Tom Brady, Cam Newton,
Matt Ryan, Matthew Stafford, Cam
Newton, Andrew Luck, Russell
Wilson, Colin Kaepernick and Tony
Romo. Thats a solid group of fan-
tasy QBs.
3. Have some humility: If youre
too proud to admit you messed up
on draft day, thats on you. Dont
wait on your under-performing
players to turn the fantasy season
around. Own up to your mistakes,
then explore all avenues to improve
your team.
4. Always look to trade: You will
be surprised by what trades fantasy
owners are willing to pull the trig-
ger on. The key: Youll never know
unless you inquire about them.
5. Dont get emotionally
involved: If you insist on drafting a
Browns player just to have a Browns
player on your roster, thats ne.
That line of thinking rarely works
in fantasy. Ultimately, its your team
and how you construct it is up to
you. The goal in fantasy is to win
money, so unless one of your favor-
ite player(s) is a fantasy star, resist
the temptation. Especially if hes a
kicker.
6. Work the waiver wire: Three
players I acquired after draft day
last season: Redskins running back
Alfred Morris, Packers receiver
Randall Cobb and Raiders tight end
Brandy Myers. If youre not aware
of what players are available, nine
times out of 10 you wont be in the
running for league cash.
7. Dont overvalue your own
players: Theres nothing more frus-
trating in fantasy football than deal-
ing with an owner who wont budge
on a fair trade offer or insists on
more in return. You knowwho those
fantasy owners are, so just move on
to the next.
8. Dont give up on your sea-
son: Afewseasons ago, I sat 1-6 but
rallied to a 5-1 nish and just missed
out on the playoffs. Last year, I
was 1-4, made a bevy of trades, n-
ished 7-6 in the regular season and
advanced to the seminal round. It
doesnt matter if its pretty. The goal
is to make your playoffs.
9. Never pick a defense until
the second-to-last round: Good
luck trying to gure which teams
defense/special teams will be No. 1
this season. Take a yer on a run-
ning back or wide receiver in the
mid-rounds and wait.
10. Never pick a kicker until
the last round: If you think youre
pulling a fast one on your fantasy
cohorts by drafting last years top
scoring kicker in the mid-rounds,
youre not.
There wasnt a lot of
suspense with Kellys
decision, which was
announced after practice
on Tuesday, and after the
coach met with both play-
ers. About the only sur-
prise was the timing
Kelly had hinted he might
not name a starter until
closer to the opener. But
Kelly, in his rst season
after coaching at Oregon,
ended the mystery and
will have Vick taking the
snaps when Philadelphia
opens the regular season
at Washington Sept. 9.
Im not surprised at
all, Vick said. I told
him, Thank you, I appre-
ciate it and I wont let you
down.
Vick has been solid in
two preseason games, and
Foles, in his second sea-
son with the Eagles, has
struggled to grasp Kellys
multifaceted offense. Vick
has thrown for 199 yards
this preseason and will
take a 113.2 quarterback
rating into Fridays game
at Jacksonville (0-2).
Foles has been sacked
six times in two games,
and has a quarterback rat-
ing of 65.5, after showing
ashes as a rookie last
season while Vick was
injured. Vick played in
just 10 games last season,
while Foles topped 340
yards twice as a rookie.
The Eagles (1-1) are
coming off a 4-12 season,
coach Andys Reids last,
and havent made the
playoffs since they won
the NFC East at the end
of the 2010 season.
We had a good amount
of tape, a good amount
of us seeing them on the
eld, Kelly said. And
seeing them in a lot of
different situations, and
wanted to put a guy in
place, if we could, in
enough time to get us to
prepare the season.
Kelly has only shown
ashes of his up-tempo
offense in the rst two
preseason games and
defenses already seem
tired and confused while
the Eagles are moving
the ball with ease. The
rst-team offense led by
Vick and Foles has four
touchdowns on eight-plus
possessions in two games.
One drive ended with an
end-zone interception and
two others ended with
fumbles.
Behind Foles will be
Matt Barkley, a rookie
from Southern Cal.
The competitor in me,
you always want to be
the one on the eld play-
ing, Barkley said. At the
same time, I love Mike.
Weve gone about it the
right way. Weve kept our
great friendship and weve
pushed each other. Im
proud of him. Im going
to do anything I can to
help him become the best
quarterback possible.
Im excited for him.
Nothing changes in my
preparation. Im going to
prepare the same way.
Vick had a breakout
year under Reid in 2010,
leading the Eagles to the
division title, winning
The Associated Press
Comeback Player of the
Year award and starting
in the Pro Bowl. But hes
battled injuries and incon-
sistency the last two years.
Vick could earn up to
$10 million in 2013 if he
meets all performance
incentives. He was slated
to earn about $16 million
this season, including a
$3 million roster bonus.

From page 1B
be found on a night the Steelers
committed eight penalties,
turned it over three times and
failed reach the end zone until
the starters were standing on the
sideline in baseball caps.
I would say we did a good job
of messing it up on our own,
offensive tackle Mike Adams said.
Not exactly the step forward
Tomlin was looking for follow-
ing a nondescript loss to the New
York Giants in the preseason
opener. He stressed the need to
cut down on penalties only to see
Pittsburgh draw95 yards in ags.
Tomlin said hell look at having
NFL ofcials visit practice this
week to help his team get its act
together.
Poor execution, Tomlin
said. I just told the guys were
not going to provide lip service.
Were going to practice how we
intend to play.
Quarterback Ben Roethlis-
berger completed 5 of 6 passes
but his lone incompletion was an
interception Washingtons Ryan
Kerrigan returned for a touch-
down. Roethlisberger led the
Steelers on a lengthy drive span-
ning the rst and second quarters
only to have it result in a eld
goal after penalties to Adams and
guard David DeCastro.
Another drive later in the
rst half ended with a eld goal
when the offense again bogged
down inside the Washington 20.
Through two games the Steelers
and second string offense has yet
to produce a touchdown.
Running back Jonathan Dwyer
did his best to take advantage
of the opportunity provided by
the injury to Bell, running for
68 yards on 14 carries. He also,
however, fumbled in the second
quarter, a miscue that led to a
Washington touchdown.
Dwyers miscue was one of
three turnovers committed by
Pittsburghs starters against a
defense that isnt exactly lights
out. Yet Washington looked
dominant at times as it con-
stantly brought pressure against
Roethlisberger or backup Bruce
Gradkowski. Rarely did either
quarterback appear comfortable.
Pittsburghs defensedidnt have
to deal with injured Washington
star Robert Grifn III yet had
a bit of trouble stopping third-
stringer Rex Grossman, who
completed 10 of 16 passes for
133 yards and a score. DaMon
Cromartie-Smith intercepted
Grossman early in the third quar-
ter and rookie Jarvis Jones found
his way around a turnover for the
second straight game when he
forced Grossman to fumble in the
second quarter to end a scoring
threat.
Too much Steelers beating
ourselves, safety Ryan Clark
said Even on the two big plays
by the offense while we were in,
we had guys who we didnt blitz
and guys who were supposed to
be in a blitz that coach (Dick)
LeBeau called. You cant do that.
We wont in football games play-
ing that way.
Time to get your player lists together

Some folks dont believe Atlanta Falcons running back Steven Jackson is a quality
pick for this upcoming fantasy football season.
Weeden named Browns
starting quarterback
TOMWITHERS
AP Sports Writer
BEREA, OhioBrandon
Weeden had a lot to prove.
Before his second NFL sea-
son began, he had to con-
vince some teammates, a
newcoaching staff and front
ofce and many skeptical
Cleveland fans he deserved
to start.
He desperately wanted
to be their quarterback, the
guy.
On Tuesday, Weedens
efforts were rewarded.
Browns coach Rob
Chudzinski named Weeden
his starter, an announce-
ment that erased any uncer-
tainty and there wasnt
much that the second-
year QB would be behind
center for the Sept. 8 sea-
son opener against Miami.
Weeden has spent the past
few months doing every-
thing he possibly could to
win the job, and he did
fair and square.
Brandon has earned
this, Chudzinski said, and
thats extremely important
to me that he did. He has
gained my complete trust.
He has gained his team-
mates complete trust and
this organizations trust.
Were all behind him and
well all be behind him to
support him.
Weeden, who survived a
bumpy rookie season, took
the news that he had beaten
out veteran Jason Campbell
in typical stride.
Unlike a year ago, when
he was essentially anointed
as Clevelands No. 1 from
the moment he was select-
ed in the rst round of the
draft, Weeden had to ght
for this. He immersed him-
self in the playbook to learn
the Browns newsystemand
performed at a high level
during spring practices and
summer training camp.
If there was any doubt,
Weeden removed by com-
pleting 18 of 25 passes for
229 yards with three touch-
downs and no interceptions
in two preseason games.
Case closed.
Ive taken the steps that
I needed to take to better
myself, Weeden said. But
I have to keep continuing
to work, keep continuing to
do the things that Ive done
all along up until this point
to become that player that I
want to be. Imnot satised.
I feel like I have a lot of work
to do, and thats kind of my
mindset moving forward.

Gonzalez rejoins Falcons after time spent with son
PAUL NEWBERRY
AP Sports Writer
FLOWERY BRANCH,
Ga. While the Atlanta
Falcons hustled their way
through a drill Tuesday,
Tony Gonzalez grabbed a
clipboard from an assis-
tant coach, a bit perplexed
about what was going on.
Yep, even after 17 sea-
sons in the NFL, he need-
ed a bit of a refresher.
Not surprising, though,
given he hasnt been
around a whole lot during
the preseason.
Of course Im a little
rusty, Gonzalez conced-
ed after a more than two-
hour practice. Theres
nothing like playing the
games to get you ready.
The 37-year-old tight
end will nally play in
his rst preseason game
Saturday night, when
the Falcons (0-2) visit
Tennessee to take on
the Titans (0-2). He was
excused for three full
weeks to spend extra time
with his family and watch
his 12-year-old son, Nikko,
get started on his football
career.
It was all part of a deal
Gonzalez struck with
team ofcials in exchange
for putting off retirement
for one more year.
Everybody is bust-
ing his chops a little bit,
quarterback Matt Ryan
said. Thats the nature of
the locker room. But its
all in good humor.
Coach Mike Smith has
always been willing to let
players especially the
veterans skip practices
if they need to address per-
sonal issues. But hes never
come close to allowing a
three-week break in the
middle of training camp.
For a player of
Gonzalezs stature, how-
ever, the coach was will-
ing to make an exception.
I dont think its an
issue, Smith said. I dont
think it will ever become
an issue.
Gonzalez returned to
the Falcons last weekend,
and Tuesdays workout
was only the fourth day of
practice hes taken part in
since camp began on July
25.
He insisted its not a big
deal. Gonzalez has always
been passionate about his
tness, so there was no
chance of him not report-
ing back in top condition.
To stay in some sem-
blance of football shape,
he worked out with a local
high school team. To keep
up with what the offense
was doing, he watched
videos of practice each
night on his iPad.
Its the same ver-
biage. The offense hasnt
changed. Its the same
thing Ive been doing for
ve years, said Gonzalez,
referring to his time
with thae Falcons. Sure,
theres a few little tweaks,
some new things here and
there. But when you
come back, its like riding
a bike.
Gonzalez never intend-
ed to come back for a 17th
season, saying through-
out 2012 he was 95 per-
cent sure it would be his
nal year. Even after the
Falcons came up 10 yards
short of the Super Bowl,
losing to San Francisco in
a thrilling NFC champion-
ship game, the future Hall
of Famer sounded like his
career was over.
But, after spending a
few weeks reecting on
how close he came to a
title, and knowing the
high-powered Falcons had
a chance to make another
deep run in the playoffs,
Gonzalez began to recon-
sider. When Nikko gave
his blessing for dad to play
another season, Gonzalez
couldnt resist the chance
to take one more shot at
his rst championship.
The Falcons made it
easy, basically allowing
a very grateful Gonzalez
to set his own terms for
how much time he would
spend at training camp.
That means everything
to me, he said.

Broncos Miller to serve six-game suspension
The Associated Press
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.
Broncos linebacker Von Miller
received a six-game suspension
under the NFLs substance-abuse
policy Tuesday, taking away the
best defensive player from a
team many expect to make a run
at the Super Bowl.
The league wanted a longer
penalty for the third-year line-
backer, but the sides agreed to
less than half the season, a per-
son familiar with the negotia-
tions between the linebacker and
the NFL told The Associated
Press.
The person who spoke to the
AP did not want to be identied
because details about the nego-
tiations were not public.
Broncos executive vice presi-
dent John Elway said the team
was frustrated with what hap-
pened and, I think, disappoint-
ed in Von.
Well live with that decision,
Elway said. What Id like to do
is try to do everything we can to
prevent any other situations.
According to the NFL, Miller
is eligible to play and practice
through the last two preseason
games. His suspension, without
pay, will begin Aug. 31, and will
cost him more than $800,000
of the nearly $2.3 million hes
scheduled to make this season.
Hell be allowed at the team
facility, but not at practice dur-
ing the suspension. He can
return to the eld Oct. 14, the
day after Denvers home game
against Jacksonville, and will be
eligible for an Oct. 20 contest at
the Indianapolis Colts.
After being notied of the
decision, Miller released a state-
ment saying, although my sus-
pension doesnt result from a
positive test, there is no excuse
for my violations of the rules.
I made mistakes and my
suspension has hurt my team,
Broncos fans, and myself, he
said. I am especially sorry for
the effect of my bad decisions on
others. I will not make the same
mistakes about adhering to the
policy in the future.
The NFL has two drug policies
one that covers use of per-
formance-enhancing substances
and the Policy and Program
for Substances of Abuse that
applied to Millers case.
There are ways to violate the
drug policy without necessarily
testing positive. They include
missing a test, refusing to test,
tampering with tests or giving a
diluted urine sample.
The Broncos had been oper-
ating throughout the preseason
as if Miller would be with them
for their regular-season opener
Sept. 5.
I made mistakes and my suspension has hurt my team,
Broncos fans, and myself.

Dempster threw one
pitch behind A-Rods
knees and two more inside
during the second inning.
Then his 3-0 pitch struck
Rodriguezs left elbow
pad and ricocheted off his
back.
Girardi sprinted onto
the eld, screaming at
ONora for not ejecting
the pitcher. Girardi was
tossed as the benches and
bullpens emptied, and
Rodriguez homered off
Dempster to spark a sixth-
inning rally that lifted New
York to a 9-6 win.
Dempster maintained

The two younger boys
were held without bond;
Bond was set at $1 million
for Jones.
Family and friends on
two continents mourned
Lane, who gave up pur-
suit of an Australian foot-
ball career to pursue his
passion for baseball, an
American pastime.
His girlfriend Sarah
Harper tearfully laid
a cross at a streetside
memorial in Duncan,
while half a world away,
an impromptu memorial
grew at the home plate he
protected as a catcher on
his youth team.
We just thought wed
leave it, Sarah Harper
said as she visited the
memorial on Duncans
north, well-to-do side.
This is his nal spot.
Flowers, photos and an
Australian ag already
adorned the roadside in a
tribute to Lane.
I dont know anybody
whos left this. It means a
lot, Harper said.

That baseball is a weap-
on. Its not a tennis ball. Or
its not an Incrediball thats
soft. Its a weapon, and it
can do a lot of damage to
someones life, Girardi
said before a doubleheader
against Toronto. And thats
why I was so upset about
it. You can express your
opinion and be upset with
someone, but you just cant
start throwing baseballs at
people. I mean, its scary.
Girardi said his profane
rant at ONora probably
was the angriest hes been
on a ball eld.
has said the boys wanted
to overcome a boring end
to their summer vaca-
tion classes in Duncan
resumed Tuesday and
that Jones told ofcers
that they were bored and
killed Lane for the fun of
it.
Lane played at East
Central University in Ada,
85 miles east of Duncan,
and had been visiting
Harper and her parents
after he and his girlfriend
returned to the U.S. from
Australia about a week
ago.
His old team, Essendon,
scheduled a memorial
game for Sunday to raise
funds for Lanes parents
as they worked to have
their boys remains sent
home.
At Essendon Catholic
School, Lane will
be remembered at a
November Mass in which
all former students who
have died are mourned
and celebrated, former
school captain David
Ireland told The Age
newspaper in Melbourne.
He was the sort of guy
at school who everyone
knew and knew quite
well, Ireland said of
Lane. He loved his footy
(Australian football) and
his sport and spent a lot
of time with mates.
Melbournes Herald Sun
newspaper reported that
roses and a baseball were
placed Monday on the
home plate where Lane
played as a youth with
the message, A wonder-
ful young man taken too
soon. Why?
Former deputy prime
minister Tim Fischer criti-
cized the National Rie
Association and asked
Australians to avoid the
U.S. as a way to force its
Congress to act on gun
control.
Tourists thinking of
going to the USA should
think twice, Fischer told
the Herald Sun.

lead.

Tyler Cloyd (2-3) allowed ve runs in

Mets 5, Braves 3
NEW YORK Rookie Zack Wheeler
beat NL East-leading Atlanta for the
third time, pitching shutout ball into
the seventh inning and sending the New
York Mets past the Braves.
Wheeler improved to 3-0 this year
against the team with the best record
in the majors. Helped by his midseason
promotion from Triple-A, the Mets hold
an 8-7 edge over the Braves.
Marlon Byrd and Ike Davis homered
and speedy Eric Young Jr. sparked the
Mets, stealing two bases, scoring twice
and making a diving catch in left eld.
Catcher Travis dArnaud doubled for his
rst hit in the majors, ending an 0-for-10
rut.
Wheeler (6-2), raised in the Atlanta
suburbs, defeated the Braves at Turner
Field in his big league debut in June,
then topped them at Citi Field in July.
Dodgers 6, Marlins 4
MIAMI With his first swing of the
night, Yasiel Puig snapped a slump and
silenced speculation hes in the dog-
house.
The rookie sensation came off the
bench to hit a tiebreaking home run
in the eighth inning and help the Los
Angeles Dodgers beat the Miami
Marlins.
Puig was held out of the starting
lineup after going hitless in his past 11
at-bats.
He also drew a fine when he arrived
late for pregame drills, raising more
questions about the 22-year-olds matu-
rity and comportment.
He entered in the sixth inning in a
double switch, batted for the first time
leading off the eighth and needed only
one pitch to break a 4-all tie.
Diamondbacks 5, Reds 2
CINCINNATI Paul Goldschmidt
set a Diamondbacks record with his
third grand slam of the season on
Tuesday night and became the first NL
player to drive in 100 runs, powering
Arizona.
Goldschmidt connected in the eighth
inning off J.J. Hoover, ending the reliev-

career high with 10 strikeouts.
Ichiro nears milestone
as Yankees sweepJays
The Associated Press
NEW YORK Jayson Nix hit a tying
homer in the seventh inning and a game-
ending single in the ninth, lifting the
Yankees to their second comeback victory
over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday, 3-2
in the nightcap for a doubleheader sweep.
In the opener, Robinson Cano and Chris
Stewart each hit three-run homers to rally
the Yankees from four runs down to beat
the Blue Jays 8-4. Toronto lost slugger
Jose Bautista to a sore hip early in the
game. Cano had an RBI single in the sec-
ond game and had six hits and ve RBIs
for New York in the two games.
Ichiro Suzuki singled and doubled in
the rst game, leaving him one shy of
4,000 combined hits during his careers in
Japan and the major leagues.
With fans standing and chanting Ichi-
ro! in the eighth, he grounded out. Suzuki
pinch ran in the second game and scored
the winning run.
With a full moon hanging over the right
eld rafters, Darren Oliver (3-4) walked
Mark Reynolds to start the ninth.
Suzuki pinch ran and advanced on
Eduardo Nunezs sacrice bunt. Suzuki
stole third before scoring on Nixs line
drive to left that gave the Yankees their
eighth win in 11 games.
Mariano Rivera (4-2) worked out of a
two-on jam in the top of the ninth for the
win. Anthony Gose failed to get down a
sacrice bunt in the top of the ninth.
The Blue Jays extended their record
with an 11th straight loss in New York.
Mark Buehrle was on track to end an
eight-decision losing streak to New York
but he gave up a tying homer in the sev-
enth to Nix, the inelders rst homer
since June 25th.
Nix was the Yankees second unlikely
long ball hitter of the day. Stewart con-
nected off Neil Wagner (2-4) in the sixth
inning for his rst homer since May 15
thats 173 homerless at-bats to put New
York ahead in the opener.
Just 1-10 in his career against the
Yankees, the left-hander shut down a reju-
venated lineup by allowing two runs and
six hits in 6 2-3 innings. He struck out
Alex Rodriguez all three times he faced
him.
Rajai Davis had a two-run double in the
rst game, and was responsible for the
Blue Jays rst two runs in Game 2. He
scored on Phil Hughes wild pitch in the
rst inning and had a sacrice y in the
fth inning to put Toronto up 2-1.
In the opener, Cano got his 200th career
home run off Esmil Rogers in the third and
had four hits. His drive in the third pulled
New York to 4-3 after Toronto went up
4-0 in the second against Ivan Nova (7-4).
Cano added an RBI double in the seventh.
Rays 7, Orioles 4
BALTIMORE Alex Cobb took a two-
hitter into the seventh inning, Matt Joyce
drove in three runs and the Tampa Bay
Rays beat the Baltimore Orioles for their
sixth win in seven games.
Twins 6, Tigers 3
DETROIT Justin Morneau had a
season high four hits, including a two-
run homer and a two-run double, and
Glen Perkins struck out Miguel Cabrera
with two on for the nal out to help the
Minnesota Twins hold off the Detroit
Tigers.

Schreiber, Voight enthrall in surefre hit Ray Donovan
Liev Schreiber has
long been a terrific
actor in search of a
role wholly exploiting
his rugged looks and
smoldering sexuality.
With Showtimes riv-
eting new series Ray
Donovan, hes finally
found it. And he takes
full advantage.
As the title charac-
ter, Schreiber clearly
relishes the opportu-
nity to empty his con-
siderable arsenal, a la
the late, great James
Gandolfini, by looking
as comfortable busting
heads (with a baseball
bat) in the body of a
Hollywood fixer as
he does coddling his
spoiled, social- climbing
wife and kids.
In fact, during the
first hour of Showtimes
surefire hit, debut-
ing Sunday night at
10, youd swear you
were watching Tony
Soprano incarnate.
But by hour two, when
the series created
by Southlands Ann
Biderman finds its
legs, his Ray Donovan
becomes entirely his
own man and you
cant get enough of him.
Or, his ruthless, iras-
cible father, played by
another vastly unde-
rutilized actor, the
all-but-forgotten Jon
Voight.
Yes, the man whod
become best known for
being the estranged
grandparent to the
Brangelina brood, thrill-
ingly reconnects with
the talents that made
him an Oscar-winner.
As Mickey Donovan,
an aged Boston mob-
ster just sprung from
a 20-year stretch at
Walpole, Voight is
nude, crude and on a
vengeance, as he heads
west to reunite with his
three majorly screwed-
up sons, all South
Boston transplants now
residing in a California
where the sun dont
shine.
But first, Pops stops
off at a Southie cathe-
dral to pop the priest
who bopped his young-
est, Bunchy (Dash
Mihok), during the hey-
day of the church sex
scandal.
In Mickeys mind, his
shocking act is noth-
ing more than a father
absolving the sins of a
Father.
But Ray, who quickly
gets wind of what dear
ol Dad has done, takes
exception, and plans to
use the information to
send Mickey back to
Walpole, far away from
his wife, Abby (Hunger
Games mom, Paula
Malcomson), daughter,
Bridget (Moneyball
scene-stealer Kerris
Dorsey), and son,
Conor (Devon Bagby).
Only problem is
that everyone, includ-
ing older brother and
brain- damaged ex-box-
er, Terry (the great Brit
character actor Eddie
Marsan), is glad to see
the deceptively jolly
and charming Mickey
back in the fold.
Thus, the stage is set
for a battle of wits and
stratagems between a
father harboring more
secrets than the NSA
and a son whose obses-
sion with keeping his
father at bay takes an
escalating toll on his
marriage and Michael
Clayton-like livelihood
as a fixer for the stars.
If a Laker wakes up
in bed with a dead
coke fiend, call Ray.
If a young Hollywood
stud gets caught with
his pants down in the
company of a trannie,
call Ray.
He and his team will
clean everything up nice
and tidy, either through
muscle or cash, which
his employers, the
elite law team of Ezra
Goodman (a superb
Elliott Gould) and Lee
Drexler (a hilariously
foul-mouthed Peter
Jacobson), have plenty
of, thanks to their star-
studded clientele.
They, like most of
Bidermans charac-
ters, are oblivious to
their self-absorbed
eccentricities. And
Schreiber is only too
happy to play straight
man to this kooky con-
tingent of wannabes,
has beens and fleeting
stars. He never fails to
make you feel and
empathize with the
frustrations of a fixer
who cant fix the most
important thing in his
life his family.
Same for Voight,
who never ceases to
amaze with his uncanny
ability to go from
utterly terrifying to
frightfully funny at the
turn of a dime.
If theres a complaint
about Ray Donovan,
and its a relatively
small one, its that you
cant shake the feeling
that youve seen a lot
of this before in movies
like Michael Clayton
and The Fighter,
and TV shows like
The Sopranos and
Entourage.
But Biderman, who
wrote three of the
first four episodes
available to the press,
does her pilfering dis-
creetly enough to make
her engrossing new
series very much her
own.
Not bad for a creator/
executive producer
who, at age 62, runs
refreshingly contrary to
the Hollywood norm of
young male Turks.
Yes, shes older,
but shes also wiser.
And it shows both
in her writing and in
the way she patiently
reveals the complexity
of her characters, no
matter if they are movie
stars, like Voight,
Gould and Schreiber,
or still wet-behind-
the- ears child actors
like Dorsey and Bagby.
And the more she
peels back the onion,
RAYDONOVAN
Cast includes Liev Schreiber, Jon Voight, Elliott Gould,
Eddie Marsan, Dash Mihok and Paula Malcomson.
Airs Sunday nights at 10 on Showtime and repeats
throughout the week.
Also available on On Demand the day after each show
debuts.
Grade: A-
the more your addic-
tion to Ray Donovan
and its vast array of
fascinating characters
grows and grows.
