WILKES-BARRE TWP. A state auditor getting ready for the theft trial of township Fire Chief John Paul Yuknavich earlier this year allegedly uncovered additional missing funds from the re departments coffers. State police at Wyoming charged Yuknavich, 49, of East Northampton Street, Wilkes-
Barre Township, on Wednesday with stealing $48,712 from 2008-2012. His trial on charges he stole $11,865 in multiple withdrawals from the re departments accounts and used the re departments Sams Club credit card for personal use is on hold due to an appeal the District Attorneys Ofce led with the state Superior Court in February. A jury was selected six months ago but was dis-
missed when the appeal was led. Prosecutors are challenging a decision by Luzerne County Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. that prohibited the use of a Nov. 8, 2008 bank withdrawal and 15 bounced checks. In the latest case, Special Investigator Edwin Tyler with the state Ofce of Auditor General was preparing audits prior to Yuknavichs trial in February. While reviewing checks Wilkes-
Barre Township gave to the re department, Tyler allegedly found the entire amount of the checks was not deposited into the departments account, according to the criminal complaint. Township Business Administrator Michael Revitt told state police the township would issue a monthly check to the re department in the amount of $3,500 that was to be used by the department to pay its mortgage and bills. Revitt said $1,500 was initially given to the re department but was increased to $3,500 per

WILKES-BARRE To make emergency psychiatric treatment more efcient, First Hospital directors plan to open a crisis center in WilkesBarre General Hospital. Set to open this month, the Crisis Response and Recovery Center is to help patients get back into the community faster than traditional treatment methods, its proponents say. Patients will be able to get immediate help for mood disturbances, cognitive impairment, intellectual disability and drug-and-alcohol abuse recovery in what had been Generals emergency room area. The triage, or examination area, is suited for 30 patients at one time, and there are beds for nine. With ambient lighting and soft colors on the walls and furniture, the center is intended to be a welcoming place for patients to recover and recharge. A new medical emergency room has opened on the other side of the River Street building. We kind of stole the idea, said First Hospitals Chief Executive Mark Schor, who was chief executive for Brooke See CENTER | 12A

SAYLORSBURG A man charged with killing three people at a Pennsylvania municipal meeting because of a feud over his junk-strewn property had given plenty of warning that he intended to kill people, his father said Wednesday. Rockne Newell told his father and others that he planned to kill ofcials in rural Ross Township, saying he had nothing left to lose because hed already been forced off the land, said the father, Pete Newell. He said, My lifes over, Dad. I just got to stop them from doing it to anyone else, and Im going to take care of it so theyre not around to do it to anybody else, Pete Newell, 78, said in a phone interview. The father said that when he told his son it wasnt worth killing someone over, Rockne Newell replied, Ive got to do what Ive got to do. Authorities said Rockne Newell, 59, packed a rental car with guns and ammunition before opening re at a township meeting Monday night and killing three men, including the zoning ofcer and two residents. Newell had lost his property last month in a court ght with the township over longstanding complaints that he lived in a storage shed, built an illegal culvert and used a bucket outside as a toilet. Normally, he wouldnt harm anybody. But they just drove him nuts. They took the only thing he had in his life away from him, his father said. When deputies tried to serve Rockne Newell with documents informing him the property would be sold at a sheriffs sale, See WARNING | 12A

WILKES-BARRE After the prosecuting ofcer failed to appear for an appeal hearing, a Luzerne County judge on Wednesday threw out charges against a man who city police say trespassed on Wilkes-Barre city property. Citizen activist Mark Robbins, 50, of Forty Fort, appeared in county court for a hearing at which he was appealing a decision by District Judge Martin Kane, who found him guilty of driving his vehicle on a private drive at the city police department off North Washington Street. Robbins has said he was there on March 31 to take pictures of
a vehicle to expose a relationship between LAG Towing, then the contracted city tower, and city police ofcers. Kane found Robbins guilty in April of two summary charges and ordered him to pay a ne and other costs, totaling Robbins $195. Robbins led an appeal in county court and hired attorney Todd Johns. Johns and Robbins were in court for Wednesdays hearing as was Assistant District Attorney Michael Sowinski. Sowinski asked for a brief continuance because the prosecuting ofcer, Brian Gist, was not present. Vough denied
that request and dismissed the two summary charges against Robbins. Ofcers in several other appeals Wednesday also did not appear, leading to the dismissal of charges against others. Gist showed up outside Voughs courtroom a half hour after the proceedings began and told a court employee he was busy with other duties. He then was instructed to speak with the District Attorneys Ofce. Appeal possible The ofce has the option of ling court papers to have Vough reconsider his ruling. City spokeswoman Liza Prokop declined comment on the case. Gist testied at Robbins rst hearing in April that on March
31 Robbins pulled his car into the parking lot behind the citys police station. Gist said he saw Robbins get out of his car and take pictures with his cellphone of a vehicle parked in the lot. He said Robbins got back into his car and took another picture before Gist approached him. Gist said he walked Robbins to signs posted at each end of the lot that indicate the area is restricted. Robbins said at the hearing he was in the parking lot trying to document that ofcers have accepted loans of vehicles from LAG Towing or its owner, Leo Glodzik III. Questions about Glodziks loan of vehicles to ofcers surfaced in March after Robbins took the photos of a truck being
driven by ofcer John Majikes that had a specialty repair towing business license plate registered to Glodzik. Glodzik had said then he loaned vehicles to other police ofcers as well. On April 2, two days after the Robbins incident, another city police ofcer threatened to cite three journalists including a Times Leader reporter with trespassing after they crossed through a restricted parking lot on foot behind the police station while en route to talk to police ofcials including the chief about Robbinss LAG allegations. The citations were rescinded after another ofcer spoke on the phone with police Chief Gerry Dessoye, who had left the police station without the journalists knowledge.

Brad Lopuhovsky, 36, of Center Avenue, was sentenced on seven counts of burglary, a drug charge and other related charges. Judge Lesa Gelb gave Lopuhovsky 388 days credit for time already served and ordered him to serve one year probation after his prison sentence is complete. In one case, Lopuhovsky placed cinder blocks against a house on Johnson Street to
reach a kitchen window he forced open and in another he used a screwdriver to pry open a locked rear door to a house on Lehigh Street on June 25, 2012, in WilkesBarre Township. Edwardsville police charged Lopuhovsky with burglarizing his former employer, RH Manufacturing, four times in April 2012, stealing a large amount of brass bars he sold at a scrap yard in Scranton, according to arrest records. Kingston police charged Lopuhovsky with burglarizing a house on Penn Street on June 27, 2012, and stealing jewelry valued at $30,000 and cash. Lopuhovsky said he picked the Penn Street house because there was no vehicle parked in the driveway, the complaint says.
DALLAS Council opened seven bids for street and storm-water improvements of Wellington Avenue at a special meeting Wednesday. The lowest bidder, American Asphalt, was awarded the contract in the amount of $76,399. Awarding of the contract is also contingent upon review and further recommendation from the boroughs consulting engineer, Quad 3 Group Inc. and nal approval of the boroughs solicitor. The project, which must be completed before the end of October, is being funded by a $75,000 Community Development Block Grant. Money from the boroughs general fund will be used to pay the difference, said Borough Manager Tracey Carr. There are about a dozen homes on the 2,000-foot road, which will be completely paved during the project.

NANTICOKE Michael Dziak, executive director of Earth Conservancy, asked City Council on Wednesday to consider allowing the organization to acquire a 8.5 acre parcel across from Luzerne County Community College.
The land stretches from Middle Road to Alden Road. Dziak gave a presentation of the lands exact location and asked the city to enter into an agreement in which the property is traded to Earth Conservancy in exchange for something of equal value. Dziak said the conservancy might offer the city a 12-to-15-acre parcel that could be used for an athletic eld as one of the possibilities for
such an agreement. The Ashley-based non-prot organization is dedicated to area mine land reclamation, conservation and economic development. Council agreed to discuss the matter with its attorney, William Finnegan, before voting on the matter. In another matter, the city has been awarded a $205,350 grant to be used for the West Union Street
bridge rehabilitation project. The work cannot begin until all environmental studies have been completed. Resident Hank Marks asked council when the downtown streetscape project will begin. Marks said it has been seven years and the project still has not begun. City Manager/Finance Director Pamela Heard said the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation stated it can have only one project started at a time, and the K Route Project has not been completed. Heard said the city has been in touch with PennDOT to try to get things speeded up. She said another meeting with PennDOT about the Streetscape Project has been scheduled. The next council meeting will be at 7 p.m. Aug. 21.

Attorneys for the McDonalds Corp. led court papers Tuesday asking that a lawsuit led against it involving a woman who says a franchise refused to pay her by check be dismissed. The request said Natalie Gunshannons lawsuit has no merit or standing. The class-action suit was led by attorney Michael Cefalo of West Pittston on behalf of Gunshannon and others against Albert and Carol Mueller, McDonalds franchise holders from Clarks Summit. Gunshannon led the suit contending she was forced to use a payroll card issued by J.P. Morgan Chase. Gunshannon declined the debit card and asked to be paid by paper check or direct deposit, but was was denied. She quit her job. Gunshannon said she did not want to incur fees that would be charged for using the debit card and feared she would make less than the $7.44 per hour she was paid. Since the lawsuit was led, the Muellers have informed their 700 employees in their 16 stores that they now have two other options to be paid paper check or direct deposit in addition to the debit cards.
State police at Bloomsburg charged Maria Ludwig Hayes, 37, of Nescopeck, with ve counts of cruelty to animals after a horse placed in her care had to be euthanized. State police allege Hayes operated a boarding stable and kept a number of animals including horses owned by her and others, who paid her for her services. A veterinarian was summoned at Hayes stables for one of the horses that was found malnourished in February. The horse had to be euthanized, state police said. A necropsy by the Pennsylvania Animal Diagnostic Laboratory in Kennett Square determined the horse died from emaciation with no cause other than malnutrition, state police said.

The city listed the streets to be paved through September by contractor American Asphalt. Work will begin today on South Main Street from Blackman to Division streets. Other streets to be paved are: Pennsylvania Avenue from East Market to North streets; South Sherman Street from Amber Lane to Northampton Street; Darling Street from Courtright Street west.
WILKES-BARRE They didnt come to assign blame or to debate the politics of crime-fighting. The clutch of people who joined hands on the lawn of the Unity Church on South Grant Street on Wednesday morning in sight of where a Park Avenue man was shot and wounded Saturday night came only to pray for a community in crisis. When things go bad, thats when people turn to God, Pastor Diane Sickler said. Each week day the church holds a Daily Word lunchtime meditation at 11:30 a.m., during which worshippers are invited to listen to a spiritual reading published by the Missouribased Christian spiritual movement. Wednesdays meditation was dedicated to the healing of shooting victim William Chilly Uggiano and the community as a whole, church vice president and Sunday school teacher Davienne Piatt said. Unity plans to dedicate every Wednesdays meditation to praying for peace in Wilkes-Barre and surrounding areas in the wake of growing violence, Piatt said. Wednesdays Daily Word, while writ-

ten for national distribution, certainly seemed applicable to a city coming to terms with shootings and other crime. An ancient sage once said that when there is peace in the person, there is peace in the family, the community, the nation and the world, Sickler read. The greatest peacemakers began by finding peace within, then sharing it in their community. Police found Uggiano, 19, lying shot in the alley at Wayne and South Grant streets, a few hundred feet from the church, on Saturday. While he remains hospitalized, police continue the search for his assailant. No new information was released Wednesday. Sickler and Piatt stressed their prayers were not just for Uggiano, but for all affected by violence in the city,
including police officers responsible for investigating crimes. Sickler admitted to being surprised and saddened by the shooting. Piatt was saddened, but not quite as surprised: as a letter-carrier for the U.S. Postal Service, having worked routes in the citys Heights section, I see a lot, she said. Both also believe there is much goodwill left in the city, and expressed hope that those looking for a place to promote peace will consider attending one of their daily meditations. People are looking for answers, because it doesnt make sense, Sickler said. The church is located at 140 S. Grant St. For more information, call 824-7722 or visit http://unityofnepa.org/
WILKES-BARRE A Luzerne County judge this week dismissed two felony counts against a Plymouth man scheduled to stand trial after the prosecutor failed to appear for a court proceeding. But District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis said it is a misunderstanding, and her ofce has asked Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. to reconsider his ruling. And its not the rst run-in between the prosecutor and judge. O n Sklarosky M o n d a y, Joseph Paul Butler, 49, was scheduled to be tried on felony charges of forgery and access Melnick d e v i c e fraud. Police allege that in May 2011 Butler cashed a $764 U.S. Treasury check belonging to a woman who said she does not know Butler. Salavantis said Assistant District Attorney Michael Melnick was present, and that another case was going to begin so Butlers trial was continued until Aug. 12. The other case never happened, so Butlers case was called to trial later Monday afternoon. Salavantis said that with short notice, Melnick showed up late to the hearing after Sklarosky dismissed the two charges against Butler, who is represented by attorney James Barr. The District Attorneys Ofce led court papers asking Sklarosky to reconsider his decision, but no hearing date has yet been scheduled. According to the ling, Sklarosky continued Butlers case to the following Monday at around 9 a.m. Around 10:30 a.m., Sklaroskys ofce called the District Attorneys Ofce to notify them the Butler case was going to begin with jury selection around 1 p.m. Sklarosky dismissed Butlers case at about 1:30 p.m. when Melnick did not appear in the courtroom. Efforts to reach (Melnick) on the short notice were unsuccessful until after the case was dismissed, the ling says. The Commonwealth requests that (Sklarosky) reconsider its Aug. 5 order dismissing the case. The ling includes transcript of the day revolving around Butlers case, including Sklarosky scheduling the trial for Aug. 12 and then later in the day dismissing the case. Since nobody from the commonwealth has appeared to perfect the prosecution of this matter, the case is dismissed, Sklarosky said. In February, Sklarosky held Melnick in contempt of court and threatened to jail the prosecutor after a hearing in the theft case of WilkesBarre Township Fire Chief John Yuknavich. Sklarosky felt Melnick was not answering defense attorney Barry Dyllers questions when the contempt of court charge came up. When the hearing resumed the next day, Melnick asked Sklarosky to remove himself from the trial after learning the judge had dinner with Dyller the month before. Sklarosky said in response that the dinner was attended by 12 people and the Yuknavich case was not discussed. The contempt order is on hold due to an appeal to the state Superior Court regarding rulings by Sklarosky to throw out evidence and not recuse himself from the case, as well as the contempt issue.

A Yemeni government spokesman claims authorities have foiled a plot by al-Qaida militants aimed at taking control of two cities in the country, then storming strategic ports and bombing gas facilities. Rageh Badi said Wednesday the terror network planned to target the southern cities of Mukalla, the capital of Hadramawt province, and Bawzeer, then send its members disguised in military uniform to attack two strategic oil ports. He says other al-Qaida militants, meanwhile, would try to sabotage pipelines to create panic among Yemeni army and Yemeni security services.
An FBI agent watches as the house where three women were held captive and raped for more than a decade is being demolished Wednesday in Cleveland. Authorities want to make sure the rubble isnt sold online as murderabilia, though no one died there. The house was torn down as part of a deal that spared Ariel Castro a possible death sentence. He was sentenced last week to life in prison plus 1,000 years.
North Korea said Wednesday it is lifting a ban on operations at a jointly run factory park shuttered since Pyongyang pulled out its 53,000 workers in April amid tensions with South Korea, and the rivals agreed to meet next week for talks meant to restart the complex. The agreement revives hope for the resumption of production at the Kaesong complex, the last remaining symbol of inter-Korean cooperation from an earlier period of detente. The industrial park combined South Korean initiative, capital and technology with cheap North Korean labor.

Egypts presidency said Wednesday that diplomatic efforts to peacefully resolve the standoff between the countrys military-backed interim leadership and the Muslim Brotherhood have failed. The statement from interim President Adly Mansours ofce follows a urry of diplomatic visits over the past two weeks by envoys from the United States, the European Union and Arab Gulf states to defuse the crisis between the government and supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi, a longtime Brotherhood member.
WASHINGTON Far from being on the brink of collapse, al-Qaidas core leadership remains a potent threat and one that experts say has encouraged the terror networks spread into more countries today than it was operating in immediately after 9/11. President Barack Obama, who ordered the May 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden, has described al-Qaidas headquarters as a shadow of its former self. White House spokesman Jay Carney on Tuesday called it severely diminished and decimated. But still the Obama administration this week closed 19 U.S. diplomatic outposts
stretching across the Eastern Hemisphere and evacuated nonessential personnel from the U.S. Embassy in Yemen after intelligence ofcials said they had intercepted a recent message from al-Qaidas top leader about plans for a major terror attack. The new communique came from bin Ladens replacement, Ayman alZawahri, who as early as December 2001 announced plans to decentralize the network and scatter its afliates across the globe as a way of ensuring its survival. Now, major al-Qaida hubs are thriving along the IraqiSyrian border, in North Africa and, in the most serious risk to the U.S., in Yemen. The regional hubs might not take direct orders from al-

HARRISBURG Frank T. Brogan, a higher-education executive and former Florida lieutenant governor, was picked Wednesday to be the next chancellor of Pennsylvanias 14-university State System of Higher Education. The systems board of governors unanimously selected Brogan, a Republican who was Floridas lieutenant governor from 1999-2003 under then-Gov. Jeb Bush and chancellor of the State University System of Florida since 2009. Brogan, who also served as president of Florida Atlantic University from 2003 to 2009, will be the fourth chancellor to lead Pennsylvanias public university system, the 13th largest in the nation. It enrolls about 115,000 students, compared with the 350,000 students in Floridas system. The position is the highest-paid job in Pennsylvanias state government, but Brogan will take a pay cut from his $357,000 Florida salary. He will receive the same $327,500 salary that was paid to the previous chancellor, John Cavanaugh, who stepped down in February. Brogan, who was in Florida when the vote was taken, planned to participate in an afternoon conference call with reporters. Balancing quality and accessibility has been my top priority in Florida and should be the mission of every good public university, he said in a statement after the vote. The president of the union that represents more than 6,000 faculty members and coaches in the Pennsylvania system said Brogans experience in academia as well as state government should be benecial. The chancellor is the face of public higher education in the commonwealth, said Steve Hicks of the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties. Peter Garland, a former executive vice chancellor of the Pennsylvania system, has served as acting chancellor since Cavanaugh resigned after ve years to head the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area. Brogan, who will be 60 by the time he starts his new job Oct. 1, was picked over two other nalists in an unusually secretive search process. The systems board of governors, most of whom are gubernatorial appointees, voted unanimously in January to keep the search process secret for the rst time in the systems 31 years. Such secrecy is increasingly sought by higher-education executives out fear of reprisal if their current employers discover they have been job hunting. The state system comprises the universities at Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indiana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Manseld, Millersville, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock and West Chester.

WEST PITTSTON Mayor Tony Denisco commended the boroughs police department Tuesday for its efforts in helping with a federal investigation that resulted in a bath salts raid at a Liberty Street home last month. Denisco said the department had been watching the alleged illegal drug activity at the house for a year before the raid took place, and assured residents every complaint was looked into. Council urged residents to call 911 to report any suspicious activity or neighborhood disputes. Councilman Brian Thornton said residents have approached him and other council members looking for information about the Liberty Street case. Many times residents complain how bad a problem is, but council doesnt get involved with police investigations, he said. In other business, council voted to authorize police officer Ryan Foy to attend Commercial Motor Vehicle Counter Terrorism training this week in Laflin at no cost to the borough. Thornton referred to Mondays triple murder at a Ross Township council meeting in Monroe County and commended the mayor and police department for its uncanny timing in sending Foy to the training. Council approved the request of John Yonkondy of Barefoot Girl Productions to shoot a sequence of a film titled Susquehanna at the boroughs pool. The shooting began Tuesday and will end Aug. 22. In a letter to council, Yonkondy described the low-budget film as a gritty, coming of age drama. The pool hasnt been in operation for over two years and the filming will take place in the evenings. Council also voted to authorize a one-hour, paid lunch break for Borough Secretary Ellen Riddle. Council President Barry Hosier said Riddle, who is full-time and has worked as the boroughs secretary for 20 years, is the only borough employee who doesnt get a paid lunch. Golfers of all abilities are welcome to participate in the boroughs Golf Tournament on Aug. 25. For more information on the event, which will benefit the boroughs Parks & Recreation Department, call the borough building at (570) 655-7782.
SHICKSHINNY While the demolition of ood-damaged property continues, including the dismantling of a structure at 20 W. Union St. that began Wednesday, comment at Tuesdays borough council meeting focused on 14 other blighted properties where ofcials say they are having problems in identifying owners. Code Enforcement Ofcer Rick Harmon said these parcels all contained abandoned structures and weeds more than 4 feet tall. He said he is uncertain if violation notices are
being received by the correct people. Its like sending letters to nobody, Harmon said. We dont get any response. So we dont know who to take action against. Solicitor John Pike backed Harmon. We have found that (property) owners are not responding to letters of notication, Pike said. Pike proposed an ordinance whereby council would ask for a voluntary registration of property owners, especially those individuals residing outside of Shickshinny. Council didnt take action on Pikes plan, but left it on the table for further discussion.
Council, however, did act to rebuff Mayor Beverly Moore on a proposal to fund signage for the soon-to-be-dedicated Crary Park. Moore suggested funding for an identication and a directional sign be obtained equally through a bass shing tournament scheduled on the day of dedication and from a trust fund established by the estate of the late Walter Vorbleski. In all, Moore estimated the cost at $445. On a roll call vote, coun-
cil rejected the idea 3-2. An angry Moore said she would attempt to obtain the funds she needs through the tournament. We need the signs for directional purposes, and in a response to spending issues raised by councilmen Barry Noss and Jim Wido, she contended instead, thats an amazing project and you guys dont seem to appreciate it. Moore said a bass shing tournament and other activities associated with a grand opening have
been scheduled Saturday, Sept. 14. Also rejected was Moores attempt to submit a legal bill from Berwick attorney Franklin Kepner to help determine the legality of a personnel meeting on police matters three months ago. The mayor submitted a bill of $521 for payment by council, but the solici-
tor told her the request doesnt meet the criteria. Councilman Gary Morris came to Moores defense, arguing borough code allows such reimbursement for legal services, but Pike and the other council members werent swayed. Moore said she would continue to pursue reimbursement.

PRESCOTT, Ariz. Brendan McDonough was emotionally crushed when his supervisor on a Hotshot reghting crew radioed in to say a wildre ripping through the Arizona wilderness had forced them into emergency shelters a last resort for reghters. His emotions plunged further as he heard the ringing phones that some of his fellow 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots had left in one of the units vehicles. Separated from his crew by his job as a lookout, he knew what their wives, children and families didnt: All 19 had died. Coming home, that was the worst feeling ever, McDonough told ABC News in an interview aired Wednesday. Knowing that these families would see me, but not anyone else off that crew. No one. I was the only person theyre going to see. The reghters deaths on June 30 near Yarnell, Ariz., came after the wind shifted, cutting off their escape route. It was the largest loss of life for reghters in a single event since the Sept. 11 World Trade Center terrorist attacks in 2001 in New York. McDonough told the Daily Courier that he has asked himself a million times why he was spared. But he said he tries not to dwell on what happened that day. Thats not going to help anyone, including his 2-year-old daughter, he said. Thats not going to remember my brothers the right way. An investigation into the reghters deaths is underway, but ofcials have said the crew moving on foot in rugged terrain was aware as it changed positions that the direction of the wind pushing the re was shifting. Eric Marsh, superintendent of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, was the
one who called in to a re manager on the radio, saying the 19 men were d e p l o y - McDonough ing their emergency shelters. Thats the last McDonough or anyone heard from them. When re managers
couldnt contact the crew, a state police paramedic was dropped off by a helicopter and hiked to the crews deployment site. The paramedic conrmed the deaths and reported them by radio. Despite losing the men he considers his brothers, McDonough is certain he wants to live out the dream of reghting that hes had since he was 13. The 21-year-old was hired as a
seasonal employee with the Granite Mountain Hotshots in 2011 after completing wildland reghting classes. I wouldnt have traded the years I spent with those men for anything in this world, he told the Courier. They made me the man and father I am today. How successful I am physically, emotionally, spiritually I owe it to them.

NEW YORK A run of ethnically insensitive remarks has continued during lming for the CBS reality TV show Big Brother, raising questions about whether the network should be doing more to police it.

believes CBS should be doing more to prevent the dissemination of offensive language. To just say This is reality television, and these are the kinds of things that are said in regular conversations is not enough, Hudson-Reynolds said. This is a controlled environment. Hudson-Reynolds said she watches Big Brother with her teenage daughter, considering it a guilty pleasure. She doesnt go online to watch the day-today interactions. For people who dont follow it that closely, controversial comments are given greater circulation through compilations that are posted online. CBS declined to comment further on the insensitive language. Its unclear whether theres a built-in delay on the Internet feed of what is going on in the household that would enable producers to cut off offensive talk. Moonves, speaking to reporters last week, said he believed CBS was handling the situation appropriately. We did not comment on some of the racial things being said until it really affected what was going on in the household, he said.

NEW YORK Some 60 years ago, a doctor in Baltimore removed cancer cells from a poor black patient named Henrietta Lacks without her knowledge or consent. Those cells eventually helped lead to a multitude of medical treatments and lay the groundwork for the multibilliondollar biotech industry. Its a saga made famous by the 2010 best-seller The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Now, for the rst time, the Lacks family has been given a say over at least some research involving her cells. Lacks family members have never shared in any of the untold riches unlocked by the material, called HeLa cells, and they wont make any money under the agreement announced Wednesday by the family and the National Institutes of Health. But they will have some control over scientists access to the cells DNA code. And they will receive acknowledgement in the scientic papers that result. The agreement came after the family raised privacy concerns about making Henrietta Lacks genetic makeup public. Since DNA is inherited, information from her DNA could be used to make predictions about the disease risk and other traits of her modern-day descendants. Under the agreement, two family members will sit on a six-member committee that will regulate access to the genetic code. The main issue was the privacy concern and what information in the future might be revealed, David Lacks Jr., grandson of Henrietta Lacks, said at a news conference. Jeri Lacks Whye, a granddaughter who lives in Baltimore, said: In the past, the Lacks family has been left in the dark about research stemming from HeLa cells. Now, we are excited to be part of the important HeLa science to come. Medical ethicists praised the NIH action. There was no legal obligation to give the family any control over access to the genetic data. Theyre doing the right thing, said Dr. Ellen Wright Clayton of Vanderbilt Universitys Centre for Biomedical Ethics and Society. Having people at the table makes a difference in what you do, she said, noting that some Native American groups have a similar arrangement with researchers. Rebecca Skloot, author of the acclaimed 2010 book, sat in on the negotiations leading to the agreement, and she said family members never demanded money. This discussion wasnt about money for them, she said. Skloot noted that family members are earning income from a packed schedule of speaking engagements and have also received donations from a foundation the writer established. Henrietta Lacks, who died in 1951 at age 31, was being treated for aggressive cervical cancer at Johns Hopkins Hospital when the cells were removed. The lack of consent was typical of the time, long before modern-day rules were put in place.

Our OpiniOn: cOunty cOntrOller
Walter Griffith, right, and his attorney arrive for an arraignment in May.
On the surface, the lesson from Luzerne County Controller Walter Grifths resignation seems simple: If you plan to expose wrongdoing, dont do wrong yourself. Grifth and his supporters argue his dogged pursuit of truth prompted prominent residents to target him, and in Luzerne County thats not a hard sell. But even if so, Grifth allegedly provided his enemies with ammunition by secretly and illegally recording conversations with people on three separate occasions. If you try to expose lawbreakers by breaking the law, however noble and innocent your intentions, you defeat yourself. But if you look more closely, there are other issues exposed, other lessons to be mulled. Consider that Grifth won the Republican Party nomination for his re-election by a wide margin despite the charges against him being widely known. While one could cynically point to this as another example of the public just not paying attention when voting, the more likely interpretation is that many so crave a real independent watchdog in Luzerne County government they were willing to overlook a few transgressions by someone they otherwise trust. Old school politicians should take note.
Given that, Grifths downfall raises more questions. Are voters too quick to embrace the promise of an avowed outsider while ignoring qualications? It is no reection on auto mechanics, but recall that was Grifths profession prior to becoming controller, not a likely place to nd someone nuanced in wiretapping laws. Why do Luzerne County residents seem doomed to one of two choices: A lapdog controller beholden to party powers, or a well-intentioned but inexperienced outsider who can be thwarted by those powers or tripped up by his own eagerness? Even Grifths resignation offers fodder for debate. He said the decision was primarily nancial: He couldnt afford to put up a legal ght against both criminal charges and a civil suit. Yet an effective defense seems improbable at best, and its easy to argue his resignation was the right thing to do because staying would have cast a shadow over the November election and the ofce itself. The real lesson may be this: Viewing Grifths rise and fall in simple terms may only make it harder to x Luzerne Countys complex problems.

Justice delayed doesnt necessarily mean justice denied. Thats the welcome result from an appellate court ruling last week that said a Houston-based defense contractor isnt immune from legal action in the death of a Pennsylvania soldier just because it was performing work for a branch of the U.S. government. The decision came in the tragic case of Staff Sgt. Ryan Maseth, a 24-year-old native of Shaler who was electrocuted in 2008 while showering in an Iraqi base with known electrical problems. This was not some complex, unforeseeable complication of war. This was Electrical Wiring 101. According to the Defense Department inspector general, Kellogg Brown & Root Services Inc. did not ground equipment during installation or report improperly grounded equipment identied during routine maintenance at the facility maintained by KBR. The company argued that the construction and renovation work was done by Iraqis, not KBR, and that rewiring the building was beyond the scope of its contract. Last year, when U.S. District

Recent personal experiences reveal there are some motorists in our area who apparently know very little about the rights of bicyclists. In order to hopefully make our roads safer for everyone, Im listing the following bicyclist laws from the PennDOT Drivers Manual. - Bicyclists are NOT required to ride on the shoulder or berm of the roadway (some have claimed it is illegal to ride a bicycle on the road). - When passing a bicyclist, you must allow at least four feet between your vehicle and a bicycle in order to pass safely (some have illegally passed within one to two feet). - Bicyclists may travel at less than the posted minimum speed, and may not be cited for impeding trafc. (Some motorists have blown the horn in very close proximity without realizing this can easily startle a bicyclist, and possibly cause a fatal accident. The recommended minimum distance for blowing the horn to warn a bicyclist is 100 feet.)
area in order to study to be a pastor. The amazing thing about Courtney is that he is from British Guiana and he considers Northeastern Pennsylvania to be his home and the Kingston Seventh-day Adventist Church to be his church family. Courtney believes there is an element of curiosity and passion for learning in our people. He thinks there is a spirit of friendliness woven into the genetic fabric of people. He has been adopted by the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania as one of their very own. He is understood and appreciated by the people just as he understands and appreciates them. Courtney has been driven by the love of his family at large in Pennsylvania to somehow satisfy there curiosity and passion for learning. We have challenged him with the questions and issues of our day. God has led him, on our behalf, to have a deeper understanding of His Word, and he wishes to share this deeper understanding with us.

Yuknavich
From page 1A month when Yuknavich realized the township collects monies through the EMS tax, the complaint says. The re departments mortgage is held by Pennstar Bank and the payment is $2,900 a month. Revitt told state police the township pays for the re departments utilities, maintenance and repairs to equipment. The township business administrator said he never asked Yuknavich for receipts until after Yuknavich was initially charged in December 2011 with the theft of $11,865 and using the credit card. State police served search warrants for the re departments nancial records in April. According to Tylers review of nancial records, $48,712 was not deposited into the re departments accounts from money provided by the township for the mortgage, maintenance, utilities and bills, the complaint says. Tyler determined the amounts that were not deposited by year: 2008: $13,150; 2009: $12,660; 2010: $11,250; 2011: $10,450; 2012: $407. Tyler allegedly determined $500 was not deposited from a $2,500 check in 2009, and Yuknavich deposited into his personal account $195 in 2010 and $100 this year, according to the complaint. Yuknavich was arraigned by District Judge Michael Dotzel on six counts of theft. He was released without bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on Aug. 28. Pending issues Two issues need to be addressed when the Superior Court issues its opinion: a contempt of court charge levied by Sklarosky against Assistant District Attorney Michael Melnick, and Melnicks request for Sklarosky to recuse himself from presiding over the trial. Sklarosky found Melnick in contempt of court during a theatrical pre-trial hearing on Feb. 12 at which Sklarosky warned Melnick to bring his toothbrush. The dramatic exchange between judge and prosecutor involved the questioning by Yuknavichs attorney, Barry Dyller, regarding the exact amounts of individual withdrawals. After the appeal was led, Melnick submitted a petition seeking to have another judge preside over the trial.

From page 1A Cortes, a former secretary of state for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, said he spoke to DeAndrea, his longtime friend, and told him, How about if we make it happen. The law rm has a community services outreach and support ofce that aids families who have suffered a tragedy by putting them in touch with government and social service organizations and, if asked, recommending legal services. In this case, the law rm has not been contacted for legal services, said Cortes, who works out of the rms Lancaster ofce. They will be the bridge to get the kids any kind of help, DeAndrea said. He and Cortes are making the trip and the chief is bringing his swim trunks. Its not going to cost the taxpayers anything, stressed DeAndrea. Even the pizza for lunch from Frankies Pizzeria was paid for by the Fraternal Order of Police, he said. Getting another opportunity to go the pool was good news for Rhiannon Barkus, 10, of Mahanoy City. She was on the bus that was struck and said shes ne. I feel safer now that were going on a different bus, said Barkus, a fthgrader at a Mahanoy Area school. Third-grader Jordan Caputo said he has been at the pool before and swam in the deep end. His attention was focused on the events at City Hall, however. Its really cool. Ive never been here before, said Caputo, 8, of Hazleton. Life of a canine He and approximately 80 other day campers and staff assembled in an a second-oor meeting room, where they sat on the oor in rapt attention of Cpl. Kirk Wetzel as he held his German Shepherd, Griz, on leash. The dog, imported from the Slovak Republic and born on July 5, 2005, lives with his handler, Wetzel, and is a member of the police force with his own badge and bulletproof vest. The kids raised their hands for questions and Wetzel called on them. Where do you take him if he has to go to the bathroom? asked a boy. Out in the yard. Guess who has to clean it up? replied Wetzel. Ofcer William Gallagher laid out equipment used by the departments Special Operations Group on a table in front of the group of kids. He showed off goggles, a battering ram, a ballistic shield, a gas mask and his A-4 automatic weapon. Have you ever been tazed? asked one of the campers. It hurts, Gallagher said. Its the worst pain ever. Outside in the parking lot, reghter Dave Fatula and others who work on Engine 4 awaited the campers. Fatula described the tools they use and the gear they wear to enter burning buildings. One of the reghters suited up in boots, protective clothing, mask, helmet and air pack. Dont hide. Dont go into the closet. Dont be afraid of him, Fatula said. The red engine with is compartments and equipment impressed Julia Furgio, 10, of McAdoo. I liked the thing that can hold up to 1,000 pounds, she said of the inatable pad to lift heavy objects. One by one the kids climbed up on the truck, through the seating area in the rear of the cab and out the other side. After his turn, James Boyle, 7, of Hazleton said he enjoyed it because he was able to see the cool stuff in it. From there they traveled inside to see a jail cell.

Center
From page 1A Glen Behavioral Hospital near Philadelphia before working at First Hospital in Kingston. Planners took the Philadelphia-area hospitals design for round-theclock emergency psychiatric care one step further and are to offer case management services. Patients can be accompanied by case workers to appointments away from the center, essentially an effort to keep their lives moving, said Beth Hollinger, the centers director. Psychiatrists at the crisis center can treat patients for three to ve days as opposed to the 23 hours allowed at other walk-in centers. Schor predicted helping patients who have stopped taking their medication get back to their regimens will be one of the centers busiest functions. But its staffers also will offer individual, group and family therapies, and peer support for other conditions. Meeting a need Planning for the center started about two years ago when Schor and his colleagues saw the need for a psychiatric center that offers short-term stabilization and encourages a patients faster return to the community. Acute depression and anxiety sufferers make up most of their psychiatric emergency cases, Schor said. The center is expected to alleviate conges-

tion in emergency rooms where these patients often go rst. They will be able to mark the centers effectiveness if mental-health patients hospitalization statistics start to decline, Schor said. General and First Hospitals are part of the Commonwealth Health network. Commonwealth spokesman Jim McGuire said the center is to be opened for patients all
over the Northeast. We want to make it clear that its not just a Wilkes-Barre/ Wyoming Valley thing. We are treating patients from a four-county area, he said. Crisis patients make up about 35 percent of cases at First Hospital and many end up hospitalized, Schor said. The WilkesBarre center could signicantly ease pressure at Kingstons 127-bed First Hospital.
Psychological and medical emergencies are starkly different, said Kelly Petherick, of First Hospital. A psych emergency is dened by the patient. Someone saying Im so depressed I cant get out of bed, that could be a psychiatric emergency, Petherick said. Start-up funding for renovations and initial salaries were paid by the state Department of Public Welfare and Community
Care Behavioral Health Organization. The center also alleviates an overarching problem: Psychological services are stretched thin. There is a problem in this area; the area is underbedded, said Schor. The hospital (in Kingston) opened up a new unit and almost immediately it was lled. First Hospitals new 20-bed inpatient unit was added in April.
Real estate
From page 1A 40 pounds of marijuana on July 2, the afdavit states. Agents allege in the afdavit that Reyes was in the process of growing and harvesting his own marijuana plants in the basement and above a garage at his Coplay Place residence, which had a tampered electrical system to steal electricity. Reyes was charged with criminal mischief for the modied electrical meter. Reyes was among 17 people charged in late June and early July with trafcking at least 20 kilos of cocaine with an estimated street value of $2 million and at least 200 pounds of marijuana with an estimated street value of $600,000, according to the state Attorney Generals Ofce. Criminal complaints allege Reyes was a marijuana supplier for Ramon Colon, 26, and his wife, Alexandra Mateo, 21, of Mayower Crossing, Wilkes-Barre. The investigation began earlier this year, when drug agents focused on cocaine sales of John Johnny Bambino Miller, 26, of Downing Street, Plymouth, the complaints state. Reyes began growing marijuana and had received complaints from customers about it being wet. When the marijuana dried, it weighed less, resulting in less prots, the afdavits state. Colon and Mateo allegedly paid Reyes $2,000 in counterfeit money for 5 pounds of marijuana. Reyes tried to deposit the cash but was denied when the bank alerted him that the money was counterfeit, according to the afdavits. The search warrants seek Reyes bank records and property acquisitions.
Warning
From page 1A Pete Newell said he warned them that his son had been making threats, saying: Im telling you one thing, people are going to die over this. Sheriff Todd Martin said his deputies took the threat to be against the sheriffs department itself, not against others. He said his department had a long history with the suspect, adding that Newell could be volatile outraged one moment, calm the next. Weve known Rocky Newell for many, many years, and hes made many, many threats, Martin said. Rockys always been that way. Rockys always one who believed in his property and believed in his ideals and told everyone the government was out to get him. This thing has brewed for many years, and I believe it escalated to the point where he took matters in his own hands. Rockne Newell had been living on disability payments from an auto accident. His ght with the township was the subject of several newspaper articles over the years. He cant take orders. The more they hounded about him having trash around, the more he hauled home, his father said. The alleged gunman faces a preliminary hearing Aug. 19. He has not entered a plea.

Rodriguez, who was back at third base and batting third for the New York Yankees against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night, said he had Rodriguez no reaction to the ling of the grievance. I dont think any of us thought it was going to be any different,
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. As far as having a reaction, its kind of what I expected. Its part of the process that was negotiated between MLB and the players association and you let it play out. I expect him to play a lot. We need him to help us. Major League Baseball declined comment. Rodriguez was suspended through the 2014 season on Monday when the league penalized 13 players following
an investigation into Biogenesis of America, a shuttled Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs. The other 12 players accepted 50-game suspensions, but Rodriguez said he planned to ght. Union head Michael Weiner said the punishment for the slugger was way out of line. Rodriguezs punishment was scheduled to begin Thursday, but he is allowed to keep playing until the griev-
ance is heard by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz. He isnt expected to rule until November or December at the earliest. Coming back from hip surgery in January, Rodriguez played his rst game of the season Monday night in the series opener at Chicago. The three-time AL MVP singled in his rst at-bat and was 2 for 6 with a walk in his rst two games. See SUSPENSION | 4B

PITTSFORD, N.Y. Last time Rob Labritz checked, the YouTube video of the shot of his golng life had more than 7,000 views. He isnt sure that quite counts as viral, but the way he qualied for his fourth PGA Championship has Labritz seeing good omens everywhere. Labritz is one of the PGA professionals who earned spots this week at Oak Hill by nishing in the top 20 at their national championship in Oregon in late June. He and three others were competing in a playoff for the last spot when he holed a wedge shot from 95 yards. His wife is eight months pregnant, his mother was declared cancer-free just last week, so why shouldnt he set a goal for a top-15 nish? I just want to keep rid-
ing the wave, Labritz said Wednesday, a day before teeing off in the rst group of the PGA Championship. For these 20 pros, golf is their job, but they often work on everything but their game. Rod Perry, who won this years PGA Professional National Championship, estimates he maybe plays once a week. I might play on a Friday afternoon with one of the members groups, or I might play in a section event maybe on a Monday or something like that, said the 39-yearold Perry, the head pro at Crane Lakes in Port Orange, Fla. But I know there was a couple stints over the winter where two or three weeks would go by and I wouldnt play at all. Mike Smalls job carries different demands but the same conundrum a lot of See PROS | 4B

NEW YORK A simple search on eBay reveals Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel is far from the only college football player whose autograph is for sale. Pick a star and you can nd memorabilia with a supposedly veried signature. South Carolinas Jadeveon Clowney. Ohio States Braxton Miller. Oregons DeAnthony Thomas. Louisvilles Teddy Bridgewater. Alabamas AJ McCarron. The list goes on and on. The difference is ESPN has reported the NCAA is investi-
gating whether Manziel, the Texas A&M quarterback, got paid to sign a u t o g ra p h s , which would Manziel violate amateurism rules. That has led to other schools being asked questions about whether their players earned money for signatures. If the allegations against Manziel, made by unidentied sources to ESPN, are proved true by the NCAA, his eligibility for the coming season See MANZIEL | 4B

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Plaxico Burress runs with the ball after making a catch in practice during training camp at the team training facility in Latrobe. Burress thinks hes still got a few tricks up his sleeve as the wide receiver battles players a decade or more younger for a roster spot.

LATROBE Plaxico Burress turns 36 next Monday, an age the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver jokes makes him grandpa in a locker room lled with kids who werent even playing Pop Warner when Burress made his NFL debut nine months after the turn of the millennium. Look closely enough at Burress still impossibly youthful face and youll see a eck or two of gray in his chin stubble. Its only when Burress talks that the years and the perspective they provide become evident. In the twilight of a career that remains enigmatic at best and erratic at worst, this is Burress last stand. And he knows it. Even more, hes OK with it. I tell some of the younger guys, these rookies coming in, I wouldnt want to be in those shoes for nothing in the world, Burress said Wednesday. With what Ive learned in this business and going through it and knowing what its about and having the dreams
and aspirations we all come in with as young players, Ive been fortunate enough to live them all out. One very public nightmare too. Burress lost two years of his prime while spending 20 months in prison on a gun charge from 2009-11, an incident that will forever shade a resume that includes the game-winning touchdown for the New York Giants in the 2008 Super Bowl. A different person emerged from prison than the one that went in. Stripped of his freedom, Burress has spent two seasons embracing the role of elder statesman, rst with the New York Jets and now with the team that chose him with the eighth overall selection in the 2000 NFL Draft. His presence in the meeting room where Jerricho Cotchery is the only other receiver born within a decade of Burress is a calming presence for budding star Antonio Brown and a group of 20-somethings that include Emmanuel Sanders and third-round pick Markus Wheaton.

Pirates 4, Marlins 2
PITTSBURGH Charlie Morton retired his nal 11 batters over seven strong innings and the Pittsburgh Pirates maintained the best record in the majors with a victory over the Miami Marlins. Morton (4-3) shook off a shaky beginning in which he allowed six hits over his rst three-plus innings to beat Miami for the second time in an 11-day span. Morton, who also had an RBI single, did not walk a batter and had ve strikeouts in allowing two runs on six hits. Justin Wilson pitched a perfect eighth, and Mark Melancon was aided by Neil Walkers catch on Giancarlo Stantons line drive in earning his seventh save. Andrew McCutchen homered for the Pirates
CINCINNATI Jay Bruce hit a two-run homer and threw out a runner at the plate, helping the Cincinnati Reds beat Bartolo Colon and the Oakland Athletics. Corky Miller added two run-scoring doubles for Cincinnati, which won consecutive games for the rst time since July 24 in San Francisco and July 25 in Los Angeles. Bruce also had a run-scoring grounder in the rst. AL West-leading Oakland, which began the day with a one-game advantage over Texas, scored as many runs as it had in its previous three games, but still lost for the sixth time in seven games.
Orioles 10, Padres 3
SEATTLE Humberto Quinteros two-run homer highlighted a six-run fth inning, and the Seattle Mariners rallied for a victory over Toronto to spoil the return of Blue Jays left-hander J.A. Happ. Happ made his rst start since May 7, when he suffered a skull fracture and a sprained right knee after being struck behind the left ear by a line drive from Tampa Bays Desmond Jennings. Happ left the eld on a stretcher, spent the night in the hospital and had three months of rehabilitation, primarily for the knee. Presented with a 7-2 lead by the third inning, Happ couldnt deny the fth-inning rally, leaving with the bases loaded and no outs.

SAN DIEGO Chris Davis hit his major league-best 41st homer in Baltimores four-run eighth inning, helping the Orioles beat the San Diego Padres. Davis belted a tiebreaking three-run shot into the bleachers in rightcenter on the rst pitch from Colt Hynes. Brian Roberts tacked on a sacrice y, and the Orioles then broke it open with three more runs in the ninth. Luke Gregerson (5-6) allowed singles to Manny Machado and Adam Jones before Davis went deep to leave him with a majorsbest 106 RBIs.
WASHINGTON Jason Heyward singled and Justin Upton doubled in a three-run eighth inning in the Atlanta Braves sweepcapping win over the Washington Nationals. Upton also homered, and Kris Medlen (9-10) allowed three runs and three hits over seven innings as the Braves won their 13th straight to take a staggering-forearly-August 15-game lead over the secondplace Nationals in the NL East. While Atlanta has a ways to go before it can mathematically clinch, the three-game dismissal of Washington was undoubtedly a psychological clincher that only could be undone by a monumental collapse.

PHILADELPHIA Chase Utley and the Phillies have agreed to a contract extension that could keep the ve-time All-Star in Philadelphia through at least the 2015 season, two people familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Wednesday night. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract hasnt been nalized. The deal reportedly is worth around $27 million over two seasons with multiple vesting options. Utley has battled knee injuries in the past, but that hasnt been a problem this year. A ve-time All-Star, Utley wouldve been a free agent after the season. He repeatedly said he wants to stay in Philadelphia and Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. has often said keeping him is a priority. Utley wasnt in the starting lineup against the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night, but had a pinch-hit RBI single in the seventh. He was hitting .275 with 15 homers and 42 RBIs entering Wednesdays game.
Halladay closer to returning
PHILADELPHIA Roy Halladay is moving closer toward a return to Philadelphia. If all goes well, Halladay could
pitch again for the Phillies this season, and possibly beyond. Halladay, the two-time Cy Young Award winner, is set to take the next step in his return from shoulder surgery and will pitch a simulated game Saturday in Clearwater, Fla. Halladay threw 30 pitches in a bullpen session before Wednesdays game against the Chicago Cubs. Halladay said he was encouraged that his rehabilitation has gone well and hoped to pitch again this season. He had surgery on his right shoulder in May to repair a partially torn rotator cuff and remove a bone spur. He also has some fraying of the labrum. Because of the injury, Halladay pitched nothing like an ace and is 2-4 with an 8.65 ERA in seven starts this season. Im not interested in coming back and pitching at the same level I was earlier this year, he said. I want to come back and pitch at a high level. Halladay earned $20 million this season and is set to become a free agent. The Phillies entered Wednesday 10 games under .500 and are one of the biggest disappointments in baseball. Halladay, who threw a no-hitter in the 2010 playoffs, said hed like to return to the Phillies in 2014. The 35-year-old right-hander said hes had no setback and was
encouraged by his progress. There is no timetable for his return. I want to make sure that when I start my rehab assignment, Im able to compete at a high level, he said. I dont want to necessarily treat it as a spring training type of thing. I feel like Im getting close to that now, where I can compete that way. I want to go out and pitch in those games and compete the same way I would here, so I know where I stand.
Injured umpire sits out
David Rackely lled in for Gonzalez and was the second base umpire Wednesday.
Tigers release Valverde
NEW YORK Umpire Manny Gonzalez is being held out of the Rockies-Mets game Wednesday night because he is experiencing dizziness and has swelling in his throat a day after being hit by a pitch. Major League Baseball security ofcer Ron Myers told The Associated Press Gonzalez is doing very well but still has discomfort in the throat and is lightheaded. Myers added it is standard to keep an umpire out of games until he is feeling 100 percent. Gonzalez was working the plate when a pitch from Mets starter Jenrry Mejia bounced up and lodged under his protective mask. Larry Vanover, the second base ump, took over behind the plate and the game continued with three umpires.
CLEVELAND The Detroit Tigers have cut ties with closer Jose Valverde, maybe this time for good. The club released the colorful Valverde from his contract with Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, ending a stay that included several highs and lows. We tried and he tried and it just didnt work, Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. Ill always have great memories of him. He did a terric job for this organization. He was a terric closer and a terric teammate. The peak of Valverdes time in Detroit came in 2011 when he was 49 for 49 in save chances. He saved 35 games last season, but faltered in the playoffs and became a free agent. He didnt sign with another team and Detroit eventually brought him back on a minor league deal, calling him up to the majors in late April. Valverde went 0-1 with a 5.59 ERA, converting nine saves in 12 chances, but it never seemed easy and he was designated for assignment on June 21. He accepted a trip to Toledo, where he had seven saves with a 4.09 ERA in 11 games.
NEW BRITAIN, Conn. A minor league baseball team acknowledged Wednesday that it staged a rejected marriage proposal during a recent game as a publicity stunt. The Double-A New Britain Rock Cats, an affiliate of the Minnesota Twins, issued a statement saying the club had two employees pretend to be a couple taking part in a between-innings trivia contest Friday. The third question in the contest was a surprise marriage proposal to which the woman on the eld replies, Im sorry, I cant, Im sorry and then ees. The man then also runs off the eld and into the Rock Cats dugout. A video of the stunt has been viewed more than 600,000 times on YouTube and was the subject of several news stories, some of which questioned its authenticity. The club confirmed the hoax in a news release. After watching a public proposal, we talked about what would happen if the answer were no, and how that might affect a crowd and those viewing it after on video, said Mike Abramson, the teams vice president of marketing. We worked with two of our staff on the skit and executed a digital strategy to set the video on a viral path; we could not be more pleased with the outcome. Abramson issued an apology to anyone who might have been offended. This endeavor was intended to entertain and remind fans you never know what youre going to see at a Rock Cats game, he said.

Rivalry
From page 1B than ve years hes clearly bounced back from personal woes, a series of injuries, and major changes in his swing. I feel like my games pretty good, Woods said. Mickelson is playing with similar condence, especially after claiming the claret jug. Im more motivated than ever to work hard to succeed, because I can taste some of my best golf coming out, he said. I can feel it. Woods and Mickelson have never been especially close off the course, that sense of underlying animosity only adding to their rivalry. Also, it was a one-sided affair for much of the late 1990s and early 2000s, as Woods piled up major titles with staggering regularity while Mickelson developed a reputation as the best player without one. But things began to heat up in 2004 when Lefty nally broke through to win the Masters. That began a three-year stretch where Woods and Mickelson combined to win six of the 12 major titles. In 2005, Woods won the Masters and the British Open, while Mickelson closed the year with a victory in the PGA Championship. In 2006, Mickelson earned another green jacket (and shouldve won the U.S. Open, if not for an epic blunder on the 72nd hole at Winged Foot), while Woods took the PGA. Things cooled a bit in recent years, as Woods went through his well-documented problems and Mickelson endured a six-year span with only one major title the 2010 Masters. With Lefty moving into his 40s, Woods struggling to get his game and his life back in order, and a long string of rst-time major champions stealing the spotlight, it looked as though the rivalry was fading. Not so fast. While Woods hasnt won a major title since his one-legged performance at the 2008 U.S. Open, hes reclaimed his top spot in the world rankings with more PGA Tour victories (eight) than anyone over the last two years. Hes also been a consistent contender in the biggest events and it seems just a matter of time before he claims major No. 15. Mickelson has addressed two of the biggest aws in his game, a shaky putting touch and wayward shots off the tee so much so, that he now considers them to be strengths. In June, there was another close-but-no-cigar call in the U.S. Open, where he was runner-up for a record sixth time. Then, he conquered Muireld with one of the greatest clutch rounds in major championship history, a 5-under 66 on a course that was about as hard as a paved road.
Pros
From page 1B time around the course but not much playing. Hes the mens golf coach at Illinois, the runner-up at this years NCAA Championships. Small played a practice round Wednesday with former Illini teammate Steve Stricker and one of his former players, Luke Guthrie. Small has a much longer playing resume than many of his competitors in Oregon he was on the PGA Tour in the 1990s and is in his ninth PGA Championship and 12th major. He was the low PGA pro in 2007 and 11. Still, this is just Smalls third tournament of the year as a player. Hed like to practice more with his Illini, but it often just doesnt work out. Since qualifying in late June, hes held two camps and hit the road for three recruiting trips. However rare, entering tournaments is worth it. The competition. The break from the routine of the job. The chance to learn from the best players and toughest courses. Its part of who I am, Small said. Oh, and it doesnt hurt in recruiting. It differentiates us from other teams. Each program has its own niche, and this is ours, he said, an orange I plastered on his cap, shirt and bag. Labritz generally plays in 10-15 events a year. The owners and members at GlenArbor in Bedford Hills, N.Y., about 45 miles north of New York City, enjoy seeing him representing the club well. Ive got probably one of the best jobs on the planet, he said. They allow me to play and practice as much as I feel I need to keep my game at the highest level. But a berth in the PGA Championship looked unlikely on the second playoff hole June 26. Six players had started the playoff for three spots, and two qualied with birdies on the rst hole. Labritz then found himself with a bad lie when his tee shot landed in a fairway bunker. He had to punch out while the other three played onto the green on the par-4 11th at Sunriver. He wound up being the only player to birdie the hole. Labritz celebrated with a swinging st pump and leaping highve, a clip that made its way onto ESPN. Labritz received thousands of emails of congratulations and admiration through his website, many from people hed never met. The only club pro to make the cut at the 2010 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, this acknowledged late bloomer is condent he can compete this week at age 42. He played a practice round Tuesday with Dustin Johnson, Keegan Bradley and Jason Dufner. You know what? Labritz said. There wasnt any difference.

Suspension
From page 1B The 38-year-old Rodriguez has been booed lustily since his return, except for when he was hit by a pitch in the third inning of the Yankees 3-2 loss Tuesday night. The Yankees are off Thursday and then open a three-game series against AL Central-leading Detroit on Friday night in New York. It will be the rst home game for Rodriguez since the suspension was announced. I am curious what its going to be like Friday, Girardi said. Im not sure. And I dont really know what the appropriate response is. I dont think its my right to tell people how to respond to certain situations. Rodriguez, who agreed to a 10-year, $275 million contract with the Yankees in December 2007, is the majors active leader with 647 career homers. He helped New York win the 2009 World Series, batting .365 with six homers and 18 RBIs in the postseason that year. In an interview on MLB Network Radio on Sirius XM, former teammate Johnny Damon said Wednesday that title would be diminished if Rodriguez used performance-enhancing drugs during the playoff run. I really havent gotten to think that far, but if thats how he was able to hit in the postseason, like he did that year, then yeah, absolutely, said Damon, who has been friends with Rodriguez since they were teenagers. Then you start going and saying, Well, was anybody on their team cheating? Theres just so many different factors that determine if a team wins, and A-Rod was a huge determining factor. Asked about Damons comments, Rodriguez said he hadnt seen what he had said. I talk to Johnny all the time so no disappointment whatsoever, Rodriguez said.
The 43-year-old Mickelson can sense another golden era in his career about to unfold, even though hes at an age when most players are beginning their slow, steady spiral toward the senior tour. I feel as though I started to play my best golf in the last four, ve, six months, he said. I feel like now the major championships are possibly the easiest ones for me to be in contention and maybe even win, because of those weaknesses becoming strengths. Mickelson is even more condent in his game when he goes against Woods. He brings out the best golf in me, Lefty said. Hes a great motivator for me. Hes helped me work hard. Hes helped me put forth the effort to try to compete at the highest level, year in and year out. Woods isnt quite as exuberant when the subject turns to Mickelson. When asked about their relationship Tuesday, Woods meandered through a drawn-out answer that
didnt say much about anything until he summed up tersely, Its been a lot of fun. If Woods should go through another year without a major title, he doesnt think it diminishes what hes done in 2013 or might still do, considering the Tour playoff and championship are still to come. Some might perceive that Woods has lowered his standards just a bit. After all, the four majors have always been the focal point of his season, with Jack Nicklaus record 18 titles the end game he was striving to reach. Hes been stuck on 14 for a while, and each passing year makes it a little more likely that he wont beat the Golden Bears mark. I think its been a great year so far for me, Woods said. Winning ve times, and you look at the quality of tournaments Ive won, a Players and two World Golf Championships in there, thats pretty good. You know what would be even better? Woods vs. Mickelson on Sunday, with a major title on the line.
Manziel
From page 1B could be in doubt as well as his status as a Heisman winner. ESPN reported that a top autograph authenticator had authenticated nearly 1,000 Manziel autographs. Two sports websites bustedcoverage.com and go o d b u l l h u n t i n g. c o m found what appeared to be dozens of authenticated items signed by Clowney online, and that led to questions for South Carolina ofcials. Associate athletic director Chris Rogers said Wednesday the schools compliance ofce has looked into the Clowney autographs on eBay and found no violations had occurred. The websites that weve looked at and the pictures and autographs and items that weve found over the last academic year, weve not had any issues to suggest that anything impermissible had occurred, Rogers said. Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said school ofcials have determined Miller had not proted from the numerous items found online with his signature. Smith said the quarterback signed many autographs at a Big Ten preseason kickoff luncheon. Presumably fans or memorabilia brokers then went and sold items they got autographed for free. Weve already looked at it, Smith said. Theres no issue there. Louisville came to a similar conclusion. We are aware of many of the items for sale online that have been autographed by several of our student-athletes with remaining eligibility. As we are required to do by NCAA rules, we regularly review these items and send correspondence to the seller(s) requesting they remove the item for sale, the school said in a statement. We have and continue to educate our student-athletes that it is not permissible to accept any type of compensation for their autograph or the sale of memorabilia. We have spoken with Teddy Bridgewater and we are comfortable that no violation has occurred. Clowney, Bridgewater and Miller enter the season has prime contenders for the Heisman. Manziel became the rst freshman to win it last season. Its unclear if an NCAA violation would cause the Heisman trust to reconsider Manziels victory. Heisman Trusts rules state: The recipient must be in compliance with the bylaws dening an NCAA StudentAthlete. The Heisman Trust never comments on speculation, Heisman spokesman Tim Henning said Wednesday.
Burress
From page 1B I just try to help these guys understand, Burress said. The game, everything, it just moves faster here. Just not, Burress believes, too fast for him to be effective. Signed to provide needed depth last November, Burress struggled to get onto the eld. He managed just three receptions in three games, spending another three weeks on the inactive list. Bumped to second string for the rst time in his career, Burress understands the window to earn a roster spot is small. Brown and Sanders are the entrenched starters. Wheaton is expected to provide some of the burst lost when Mike Wallace left for Miami in free agency. Cotchery is the third-down guy. That leaves little wiggle room for Burress, even though he insists hes not counting reps or trying to gure out if he is being targeted as much as everybody else. Maybe hes lost a step. Then again, Burress points out hes not sure having a step was ever part of his game. Ive never ran a 4.3, a 4.4 (40-yard dash) and I never will, he said. But Im going to nd a way to get open and catch the football. Having a full offseason to get acclimated to coordinator Todd Haleys offense brought Burress to training camp at Saint Vincent College energized. Facing off regularly against the starting secondary, Burress makes up for in wiliness what he lacks in quickness. Asked if Burress can still be effective as he inches into his late-30s, the usually motormouthed Taylor gets serious. Plax still got it, Taylor said. Age, I think it pretty much comes down to, different people have different bodies. I tend to kind of throw age out the window for certain people. Receivers coach Richard Mann credits Burress for not resting on his talent alone, praising Burress for adjusting his game to remain competitive against defensive backs and safeties who are younger and considerably stronger than the player whose arms appear as slender as they did during his rst goround in Pittsburgh.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Jay Z and 50 Cent had better watch out. The rap world has a couple of wigged-out new stars E-Z and $17.5-Mil. Havent heard of them? Well, theyre known better on the football eld. Quarterbacks and Super Bowl MVPs Eli and Peyton Manning burst onto the music scene this week with a three-minute rap videotape in which they promote Football On Your Phone for DirectTV. The commercial starts out
with the Mannings sitting in barber chairs, wearing wigs that mimicked hair styles of the 60s and 70s. Eli has a frizzy, curly-haired mop and Peyton wore a straight, longhair wig worthy of any rocker. Peyton and I had fun doing the skit, Eli said Wednesday before practice. Obviously (we) got a lot of laughs together just every time we would kind of look at each other and wonder what we were doing. The brothers lmed the humorous commercial in one day in their native New Orleans, extolling the value of watching football games on a phone, joking at one point
that someone was actually using his phone as a phone. Of course, Eli Mannings teammates were on him Wednesday at the Giants training camp. Long-time Giants teammate Chris Snee said he had never seen Eli rap. Ive never heard Eli sing period, the offensive lineman said. When he controls the radio its usually country or something nobody really wants to listen to besides him. Punter Steve Weatherford called the performance awesome, adding that players are walking in the teams headquarters humming the lyrics. Everybody. Everybody,
said Weatherford, who added most people dont realize how funny the usually dry Eli Manning can be. Its not getting annoying yet. I dont assume it will for at least a week. The best line of the video for Weatherford was when Eli Manning jumps through a life-sized picture of telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell, and Peyton asks what would Bell think about someone watching football on their phone. Who cares? Eli responds. The dude is dead. Eli Manning was amazed by the popularity of the music. I guess the song is a little
PHILADELPHIA Eagles coach Chip Kelly still hasnt named a starter for Friday nights season opener against the New England Patriots, and says whoever takes the rst snap hasnt been anointed anything. Michael Vick and Nick Foles are continuing their training-camp competition for the starting job during joint practices against the Patriots this week. While New England is set at quarterback with two-time Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady ahead of Ryan Mallet and Tim Tebow, the Eagles are still trying to gure out who will be their No. 1 guy.

catchy. A few guys going to the cafeteria line and they dont even know I am behind them and they are humming the song or the words, said Eli Manning, who said he hasnt been asked for a live performance. If I hear, I say, I think its got you. That song gets stuck in your head all day. They are kind of just going around signing the song every once a while. Cornerback Aaron Ross had just viewed the video and thought it was funny. Thats classic Eli, Ross said. He surprises you all the time, so its classic Eli, Easy E.
DENNIS WASZAK Jr. CORTLAND, N.Y. Mark Sanchez was hardly surprised when he was told he was starting the New York Jets preseason opener at Detroit. And, not only because he has been here longer than Geno Smith. You have to ask the coaches, but I feel like Im putting together a good camp, Sanchez said Wednesday. I think I earned the right to start this first game and well see how it goes from there. But got to keep playing well to stay on the field, and thats the plan. Being under center when the real games start with Week 1 at home against Tampa Bay is also part of the plan. I mean, I just dont think about not playing ever, he said. So, that really doesnt affect the way I approach things, the way I go to practice, (or) the way I play. Rex Ryan and Marty Mornhinweg announced Tuesday that Sanchez got the nod over Smith because hes the incumbent, and Mornhinweg added that Sanchez earned it. Both Sanchez and Smith have had solid camps, although the rookies performance has dipped slightly and Smith even said he wasnt my normal self. Smith is not concerned about that, and wasnt taken aback when quarterbacks coach David Lee announced to the players the decision to start Sanchez for this week. I dont have any reaction toward it, Smith said. The competitions still open and Ill just continue to work and to grow. Theres one thing Smith can guarantee: He will not be nervous the moment he steps on an NFL eld for the rst time. I never have butterflies, he said with a smile. Ive never been that type of person. I dont think I get nervous at all.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. The New York Giants suddenly have added concern at defensive end. With Jason Pierre-Paul still recovering from back surgery in early June, the Giants practiced Wednesday with fellow defensive end Justin Tuck sidelined by an undisclosed back problem. Hes got a tight back, coach Tom Coughlin said after practice without being specic. Theyre just taking the precautions. Coughlin hopes that Tuck will be able to play in New Yorks preseason opener at Pittsburgh on Saturday night, but added his condition needs to improve a little. Bothered by a number of injuries, including a neck problem, Tuck had an offseason in 2012, nishing with four sacks and 55 tackles in 55 games. As the teams defensive captain he took a lot of criticism when the Giants nished next to last in the league in defense.

BOURBONNAIS, Ill. Veteran Chicago cornerback Kelvin Hayden will miss the entire season after recently tearing his left hamstring in practice at Soldier Field. Hayden will have surgery to repair the hamstring and will need six to eight months of rehab, Bears coach Marc Trestman said Wednesday. Hayden was injured in practice on Saturday night. The 30-year-old Hayden has 12 career interceptions. Second-year player Isaiah Frey will replace him in the nickel back spot in Fridays preseason opener at Carolina. Frey, a sixth-round draft pick out of Nevada, has been one of the surprises of training camp with a handful of forced turnovers.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. Colin Kaepernick has learned a thing or two from Peyton Manning. He just refuses to say what or offer any specics. The mystery man under center for the San Francisco 49ers will play opposite Manning when the quarterbacks teams meet in their exhibition opener Thursday night at Candlestick Park offering plenty of intrigue even if each is unlikely to play more than a quarter. Some are already considering this a preseason glimpse of a possible Super Bowl matchup come February, though coach Jim Harbaugh is quick to say thats getting way ahead of things. Last August, Manning completed 10 of 12 passes for 122 yards and two touchdowns in a 29-24 exhibition loss to San Francisco. The 49ers went on to reach the Super Bowl, falling 34-31 to Baltimore. The Broncos season ended prematurely in stunning fashion: a double-overtime loss to Joe Flacco and the eventual champion Ravens. And, now, Kaepernick is entrenched as the No. 1 quarterback to start his third NFL season and determined to get the Niners back. Harbaugh said Wednesday that Kaepernick would play one or two snaps and perhaps the entire rst
quarter, but not more than that. For Kaepernick, these initial two weeks of training camp have been much the same to him as any other times of practice and preparation. Nothing (different), he said. For me its work. Im here to work. Im here to get better. Im here to make sure Im ready to play. Kaepernick said he met Manning before his senior season at Nevada, at the Manning Passing Academy. Any message from Manning? He shared a lot of different things with all of the quarterbacks that were there, Kaepernick said. Anything specic that stuck with you? Kaepernick: Just tips, on the eld, off the eld, how he prepared for games. Anything you apply to this day? Kaepernick: All of them. New wideout Anquan Boldin, acquired from the Super Bowl champion Ravens during the offseason, is eager to see how he and Kaepernick do in their rst game together and there are big shoes for Boldin to ll with top 2012 wide receiver Michael Crabtree sidelined as he recovers from surgery on his torn right Achilles tendon. Harbaugh is anticipating seeing Kaepernick and Boldin in a game atmosphere for the rst time in what should be a dynamic combination for
the Niners. Eager, eager, Im jumping out of my skin, Harbaugh said. I really feel like theyre going to be jumping out of their skin ready to play this game. Boldin said he and Kaepernick already have developed a good line of communication an important rst step. I denitely think there is something to that as far as timing and chemistry, Boldin said. You denitely want to be on the same page. You want to understand how hes seeing the game so you can adjust your routes accordingly. With me and Kaep is going good. I think the best part about it is the communication is there. Especially after every play, you get a feel for how the other guys are seeing things. Aside from seeing Boldin in uniform for the rst time, the 49ers will get their rst look at rookie rstround pick Eric Reid, though he is scheduled to rotate in as Craig Dahl will start at free safety. Harbaugh said linebacker Patrick Willis wouldnt play as he nurses an injured right hand that is expected to be healed by the Sept. 8 season opener against Green Bay. Running back Frank Gore also might sit out Thursday. Defensive tackle Justin Smith, who has an injured right middle nger, said he doesnt expect to play.
DAVIE, Fla. Miami Dolphins receiver Mike Wallace returned to practice Wednesday after being sidelined more than a week by a groin injury, and he expects to play in Fridays exhibition game at Jacksonville. Wallace caught a long touchdown pass in practice from Ryan Tannehill, their rst such connection in training camp. Finally got one, Wallace said. Its just the start. I plan on catching a lot of those. Its just a matter of time. Be patient. Its going to happen. He became the Dolphins highestpaid player when he signed $60 million, ve-year contract in March after four seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Miami wideouts caught only three TD passes last year.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith said the reason hes been able to play 12 years in the NFL is because he never allowed himself to get complacent. The 34-year-old Smith said complacency leads to laziness and lazy is one thing hes not. He said hes tried to treat every day in the NFL as if its his rst and he has something to prove. Smith said earlier this week of his legacy, A lot of people can say, Well, he did this. He punched a guy. He did that. Hes this, hes that. But one thing youll never say about me is I didnt work. Im going to work. Smith was referring to a career that has had its share of highlights and a few moments hed father forget. Hes led the Panthers in yards receiving in 10 of the past 12 seasons he missed 15 games in 2004 because of a broken leg
and is the franchises all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns. Hes played in a Super Bowl, two NFC title games and ve Pro Bowls. But hes also had moments where his tough, inner-city Los Angeles upbringing that fuels his re has gotten the best of him, including two incidents where he punched a teammate receiver Anthony Bright in the lm room meeting in 2002 and cornerback Ken Lucas during a training camp practice in 2008. Smith has apologized in the past for both incidents and tried to put them behind him, although he knows some will never let him forgive him for his wrongdoings. Through it all Smith said hes never viewed himself as a lock to make the Panthers roster, which in part explains the chip on his shoulder that has been there for years. We go to camp with 12 receivers, sometimes 13 receiv-
ers every year, Smith said. In 10 years thats 120 guys who have sat in that seat. Only a few of them have remained and Im one of those few guys. I dont say that to brag. I say that because Im fortunate, that Im lucky. So Im not going to roll the dice and say Ive got it this week or Im not going to put in the preparation, not put in the work, not put in that mental aspect. Smith said a big part of what drives him these days is the lessons he wants to teach them the value of hard work. How can I say work hard if Im sitting and home playing video games and they never see me doing anything? Smith said. Smith who has played all 12 seasons with the Panthers, has 11,452 career yards receiving, which is 23rd in NFL history. He remains Carolinas No. 1 receiver and Cam Newtons favorite weapon, coming off a season where he caught 73 passes for 1,174 yards, and still thinks he can play a few more years.

DETROIT Nearly 51 hours after jumping into a lake near the MichiganCanada border, a longdistance swimmer who calls himself The Shark nished his 22-mile journey to Detroit while hauling pounds of bricks. Jim Dreyer had been pulling two dinghies bearing 334 bricks weighing more than 2,000 pounds behind him when he departed Monday for the swim across Lake St. Clair. But by Wednesday morning, after moving more slowly than expected, he was only hauling one during the swims nal stretch. It is so good to be in Detroit, the 49-yearold said after landing on the beach and kneeling. Sorry Im late. Dreyers swim near the Michigan-Canada border was to raise money for Habitat for Humanity, but he said it had other symbolic meaning given the situation in Detroit, which has led for bank-
ruptcy protection. What I really wanted to show is that even though theres a lot of nancial pain in the state of Michigan and nobodys felt more pain than the city of Detroit we dont have to sink with the weight of our burdens, he said. Dreyer ended his swim at Detroits Belle Isle, located on the Detroit River across from Canada. He had expected to nish Tuesday after about 30

hours, but he said waves along the way 2-3 feet during the day and 3-4 feet at night slowed him down. When youre pulling a ton of bricks into the whitecaps thats a big wave, Dreyer said. Besides the brick-lled dinghies, Dreyer hauled a small lead raft loaded with water, Gatorade, nutritional drinks and a crumbled cracker mixture for food. Dreyer has made direct
crossings of the ve Great Lakes. He said coping with sleep deprivation has become a regular feature of his ultra-distance swims. The toughest thing for me is staying awake, he said. At night when it gets dark you want to sleep. Ive actually learned to swim in my sleep. Its not on purpose. Your turnover rate slows down and you can wander off course and its not want you want to do, but
your body keeps going. Its like muscle memory but your mind takes you to a happy place. His supporters took a boat out to check on his progress early Wednesday and to make sure he was OK. Dreyer said he had a number of hallucinations, including one at night that he described as a vision of Jesus. I saw some ghost ships. I know they are not real so its almost entertaining. They come up to me and dissipate and I laugh, he said. And, I saw a guy in a white robe standing on the water right in front of me. I swam up to him and he disappeared. So Im thinking he was the Big J.C. Dreyer, whose birthday falls next week, downplayed the role of age in his adventures. I didnt plan on doing this because Im turning 50, he said. If I can use it to show people that 50 is the new 40 or maybe the new 30 or lets go for the new 20 why not? Age doesnt really matter.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Aside from a minor arm injury in the 2006 Chili Bowl, and a banged up shoulder that required a relief driver in a NASCAR race later that same season, Tony Stewart has walked away unscathed from many harrowing wrecks. It was something everyone around him had seemingly taken for granted until Monday night, when the three-time NASCAR champion broke his right leg in a sprint car race in Iowa. Hes run so many of these races and ipped in those things, I think me and him and everybody around us didnt think Superman could get hurt; this is his day, Greg Zipadelli, his longtime crew chief and the current competition director at
Stewart-Haas Racing, said Wednesday. Zipadelli has never been the biggest fan of Stewarts extracurricular racing and was his crew chief both times Stewart ran the Indianapolis 500 and Coca- Johnson Cola 600 double on the same day. But hes understood Stewarts passion to drive anything at any time, and doesnt try to interfere. And for 15 years, 521 races, 48 wins and three NASCAR championships, none of Stewarts extra activities interfered. But now the star of the organization is in an Iowa hospital, recovering from surgery to stabilize and clean a Grade 2 break to his tibia and bula in his right leg, and awaiting a second surgery that will give the team a better indication of what
his recovery time will be and what the organization will need to do for the coming weeks. For now, all Zipadelli knows for sure is that road course ace Max Papis will drive the No. 14 Chevrolet this weekend at Watkins Glen, where Stewart is a ve-time winner, and that theyll need to nd another replacement driver for at least the next few weeks. But what the future holds for the organization, for how much extra racing Stewart does in the future, all of that is for later conversations. Stewart was scheduled to race more than 100 times this year. We all know Tony loves to do those races. We know that thats his golf game, thats his hunting, his shing, all the things that the rest of us do, Zipadelli said. You know, there is a difference in the amount of responsibility we have and obligations to other people, and thats where I think thats kind of where it gets sticky. I think it makes him better at what he does here, but it obviously leaves the door open for a situation that were in now. I think that as many races as hes run in the past, were probably lucky
that this is the rst time were dealing with this, to be perfectly honest with you. Well do our best at Stewart-Haas to put pieces together and sit down and evaluate it. That doesnt mean anything other than we will talk about it, well discuss it and well try and do whats best for Stewart Haas and our partners in the future. Zipadelli and many SHR crew members were already in Atlanta on Monday night preparing for a Tuesday tire test at Atlanta Motor Speedway when they got word Stewart was injured. Stewart has always been diligent about texting Zipadelli after every single heat race or qualifying run to give him an update, the updates had become routine after all these years. From there it became a scramble cancel the test, get planes organized to get the team back to North Carolina and make contingency plans for Watkins Glen. In the chaos, Zipadelli spoke by phone to a remorseful and uncomfortable Stewart. He was worried about what everybody thought and apologetic and feels like hes letting everybody down here, Zipadelli said. At the end of the day, the reason were all here is

because of him, so I know hell get back in it and make it up to us. But like the older brother and mentor hes always been to Stewart, he didnt let him off so easy and didnt give him a chance to talk about getting back in a car. I told him to hurry up and get his butt down here because I was going to break his other leg, like some of my ancestors used to do, old school, and maybe beat him with it, Zipadelli joked. Zipadellis most serious task is pulling SHR together and keeping the focus on getting Ryan Newman in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. It was just two weeks ago that Newman won at Indianapolis Motor Speedway to move into position to earn a wildcard berth into the 12-driver eld, and Stewart left Pocono Raceway on Sunday ranked 11th in the standings holding the rst wild-card position. It had SHR in position after a poor rst-half of the season to get two of its three drivers in the Chase. Now Stewarts chances are over, but Newman has a very real opportunity to get into the eld. Obviously its a huge letdown to everybody at Stewart-Haas, knowing that we were making some great strides, Zipadelli said. I think weve had some drastic improvements in the performance on the race track. I felt like we were peaking at the right time with two race cars having an opportunity. Its a huge disappointment. But well try to do our best to take that disappointment and turn it into a positive push for (Newman).
COLUMBUS, OHIO Safeties are the players farthest removed from the action. Yet theyll be in the middle of Ohio States hopes this fall. Starters Christian Bryant and C.J. Barnett account for 50 percent of the seniors on the defensive side for the Buckeyes. Theyve been through a lot, with three coaches in their college careers, weathering a dreary 6-7 record two years ago and playing important roles in the 12-0 bounce-back season of 2012. With most of the defensive front seven gone, theyre being asked to not only be major contributors on the eld but also to be instructors for all of the younger guys stepping into starting roles for the rst time. Its on our shoulders, Barnett said. Me and Christian, being seniors its a duty for us. Weve got to stand up to the challenge. Everybody is going
to be looking to us. For a young defense, the two wizened veterans in the secondary are key. I like the leadership in the back end of our defense, thats Christian Bryant, thats C.J. Barnett, coach Urban Meyer said. Im real pleased with that. A quick look at last years stats underscores their importance. They are among the top four returning tacklers from a year ago. Bryant was second (to returning linebacker Ryan Shazier) with 70 tackles, including one interception, a fumble recovery and 12 passes broken up. Barnett was fourth in stops with 56, including 2 for losses, and also had two interceptions and six breakups. Corey Pittsburgh Brown also returns as a backup for the Killer Bs at safety. Cornerback Bradley Roby, who was third in tackles with 63, is currently working out with the second team as part of his punishment for a summer skirmish with a Bloomington, Ind., bar bouncer.
LOS ANGELES Max Wittek has a booming arm and big-game experience. Cody Kessler has superior mobility and a level head. Max Browne has limitless potential. Coach Lane Kifn has quite a choice on his hands this month when he selects Matt Barkleys successor as Southern Californias starting quarterback. Until then, the top three candidates for the job are pushing each other relentlessly on the practice eld and working together in the lm room, waiting to see who gets the call. We spend so much time together, (so) why spend all that time being enemies? Wittek asked. Were all here for the same thing. We all realize one person will end up being the starting quarterback this season, so were all good friends. We learn from each other. We think thats the best way to be. We all know exactly whats going to happen at the end of the day. Kifn is taking his time on the selection, insisting theres no clear favorite
to replace Barkley, USCs departed four-year starter and the most prolic passer in Pac-12 history. Marqise Lee and his fellow Trojans are patiently waiting to learn their new offensive leaders identity although Lee is getting a bit antsy. I try to spend time with each and every one of them, but Im going to be pleased to know who the starter is, said Lee, the Biletnikoff Award winner as the nations top receiver last season. I wish I knew now. I ask Kifn all the time, and Kifn doesnt tell me anything. Instead, training camp features a lively quarterback derby headlined by sophomores Wittek and Kessler, who both learned plenty from backing up Barkley last season. Browne also is rmly in the mix after being named the nations top high school player last season. With little separating the candidates during spring ball and the rst few practices of fall, Kifn thinks the decision is likely to come down to the quarterbacks decision-making in preseason scrimmages.

IN BRIEF
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA Samsung Electronics Co. has applied for U.S. and South Korean trademarks for a watch that connects to the Internet in the latest sign that consumer technology companies see wearable devices as the future of their business. Samsung described Samsung Galaxy Gear as a wearable digital electronic device in the form of a wristwatch, wrist band or bangle in its July 29 application with U.S. Patent and Trademark Ofce. A month earlier, it applied for a Samsung Gear trademark in South Korea. The trademark applications did
not show the shape of the products. But drawings from a Samsung design patent approved in May show a watch-like design with a exible screen that curves around the wrist. The U.S. trademark application said the device will be capable of providing access to the Internet, for sending and receiving phone calls, electronic mails and messages as well as for keeping track of or managing personal information. The trademark lings in the U.S. and in South Korea show that Samsung is deep in preparations for what tech industry experts expect will be a new generation of mobile technology that dramatically expands the utility of single-function objects such as watches and
glasses. The South Korean consumer electronics giant was caught atfooted by Apples invention of the smartphone but through what turned out to be a legally risky strategy of imitation was able to capture a dominant share of the global smartphone market within a few years. Apple Inc. applied June 3 for a trademark in Japan for iWatch. Industry watchers have long speculated that Apple is working on a smart watch that uses a version of the operating system that powers the iPhone and iPad. The company has not conrmed those rumors but CEO Tim Cook has hinted it might be developing a wearable computing device. Google Inc. is testing an early version of Internet-connected spectacles

At some Walgreen stores, there are health clinics staffed by nurse practitioners, cafes that sell baristaprepared coffee and Eyebrow Bars where trained professionals groom unruly facial hair. Oh, and pharmacists ll prescriptions, too. The nations major drugstore chains are moving beyond simply doling out drugs and Kleenex. Theyre opening more in-store clinics and offering more health care products in part to serve an aging population that will need more care. Its also a response to the massive U.S. health care overhaul, which is expected to add about 25 million newly insured people who will need medical care and prescriptions. And drugstores are offering more services as a way to boost revenue in the face of competition from retailers such as Safeway and Wal-Mart that have added instore pharmacies.

store chain, said the changes are necessary because timepressed customers have come to expect that they will be able to do more than just ll a prescription at drugstores. We live in a world where personalization and hightouch service is much more expected, agreed Helena Foulkes, chief health care
strategy and marketing ofcer for CVS Caremark Corp., the nations No. 2 drugstore chain. The move toward expanding products and services has been gradual. Up until about ve years ago, the major drugstore chains focused on adding stores, not services. Then when states started allowing pharmacists to pro-
vide u shots, it paved the way for drugstores to begin offering other immunizations for diseases such as pneumonia and shingles. And after Congress passed the health care overhaul in 2010, drugstores started adding more in-store clinics to help serve the newly insured population that will be created by that law.
At the same time, grocers and other big retailers have started beeng up their health care offerings to compete with pharmacies for customers. Rite Aid Corp., the nations No. 3 chain, has converted more than 900 of its 4,615 locations to a wellness format it introduced in 2011. The stores offer organic soups, pastas and juices and a line of home tness equipment such as yoga mats and dumbbells that Rite Aid helped design. They also feature employees equipped with iPads to nd and print coupons for customers, look up information on vitamins or enroll them in services like automated pharmacy rells. CVS Caremark, runs more than 650 MinuteClinics that are staffed by nurse practitioners or physician assistants and handle largely minor illnesses such as pink eye.

TRAVERSE CITY, MICH. Even though U.S. auto sales are close to returning to prerecession levels, dont expect to see a new Ford factory anytime soon. Jim Tetreault, Fords North American manufacturing chief, says his mandate is to squeeze
more production out of existing plants to avoid the high cost of new bricks and mortar. Some plants are operating near capacity. We can always squeeze more. I have never said Boss, we cant get another one out, Tetreault said Wednesday at the Center for Automotive Research Management Brieng Seminars near Traverse City, Mich.
Ford and many other automakers are leery of adding plants because having too much factory capacity nearly drove them out of business in 2009. In the past 15 months, Ford has added capacity to build 600,000 cars and trucks at its existing factories, hiring more than 8,000 workers. The companys U.S. sales have risen by more than a third
in the past four years, from a low of 1.68 million in 2009 to more than 2.23 million last year. Year to date, sales are up 13 percent. Total U.S. auto sales hit a low of 10.4 million four years ago, but are expected to rise as high as 15.8 million this year. To meet growing sales, Ford has raised assembly line speeds at nearly all of its plants. All but two of 11 North American
assembly plants are working on three shifts, once considered the maximum number. Some Ford plants have four shifts, Tetreault said. But Ford is still running into problems making enough vehicles. The Fusion midsize car is selling so well that Ford is reopening a plant in Flat Rock, Mich., near Detroit, to make more of them.

Ethan Spencer, 7, asks his grandmother Fran Spencer what her favorite part of the day was because all of the children have already answered that question. Her favorite part was getting ready for her guests, she said.
Meet the Church Street Chilipeppers, for whom all are family
Lillian and Sean set the table, Emily and Zoe mixed the salad, and soon 10 children were sitting down to supper in a tidy home on Church Street in Nanticoke. Did everybody wash their hands? Fran Spencer asked her gang, whom she affectionately calls The Church Street Chilipeppers. Hearing a chorus of yeses, the motherly retiree began to dish out pasta and meatballs for her husband, Steve, and grandchildren Emily, 13, Sean, 11 and Ethan, 7, as well as seven other young friends from the neighborhood. It was just another typical summer weekday at the Spencer household, where next-door neighbors Lillian Galazin, 11, Evelyn Bassett, 5, Lucas Jaskulski, 6, and Aidan Jaskulski, 9, were visiting, along with 10-year-old Alexis Rhodes, who came from across the street, 10-year-old Sydney Zaykoski, who came from down the street, and 11-year-old Zoe Coble, who came from a little farther away.

How come no one told me I looked like this? When mums not always the best word
for lunch that day and headed back to my office, where Im pretty sure I told my friends what Id seen. So why, all these years later, am I thinking about this incident? Because the other day I went to an important interview with a whitish film of dried toothpaste water all over the side of my face and, perhaps in a case of karmic revenge, no one told me. I realized my unsightly grooming mishap when I looked in my car mirror after the interview, which, by the way, I thought had gone well though now I worry theyre talking about me. What was that on her face? Powder? Doughnut glaze? Dry skin? Calamine? I bet she has a skin condition! OMG, I feel itchy! Shes contagious! Impetigo! No, its scabies! Whats wrong with her, going out in public like that? She seemed completely oblivious, too! I bet she drinks! I saw her wobble, but I thought it was because of her heels! No, Im sure she is a lush! Do you think the scabies will scar my face? And Im left to wonder: Why dont people speak up when they see someone has an accidental mess on their hands, or in my case, on my face? I think theyre afraid of embarrassing people, says Kevin King, a 41-year-old librarian who, as a college student, once spent about 90 minutes walking around East Lansing, Mich., before discovering a blob of cream of broccoli soup on his goatee. Not one person was like, Dude, youve got broccoli soup on your beard. King adds: I think people dont say anything (because) theyre afraid to get a bad reaction. Its almost a commentary on the world. It is sad we are afraid how others may react or perceive us. And yet, people tend to be grateful when King points out a problem, something hes been especially conscientious about doing since the broccoli-soup incident. The least Ill do is put my hand on my face and pantomime wiping my face to somebody. I would just say, Hey, youve got lipstick on your teeth. Or Ill do the finger across your teeth thing. Elvira Anderson calls the woman who came to her rescue a lovely woman. I was happily on my way out to the parking structure, says Anderson, who is 57. She runs up and grabs my arm. She goes, You have toilet paper hanging out of your pants. It looked like I had a tail. I was so mortified. I had been working a lot on composure, meditation and things like that, otherwise Id probably have had a cardiac or something. I grabbed her arm like she was a long lost friend and started walking with her and thanked her profusely. And no one Ive alerted Ive changed my ways since the pantyhose lady has been anything but grateful. Yes, theres a way to delicately tell people their pants are unzipped or they have chives in their teeth or a 2-inch hair growing out of their nose. Youd want to tell them in a way that doesnt draw attention, says Debbie Logan, 54. For example, when a person needs a Kleenex, Logan opts to say: It looks like you have a piece of dry skin on the side of your nose. Its of such a personal nature, she explains, and we think of bodily functions as being embarrassing. And while she is correct, there are far worse things in life including not being secure enough or kind enough or conscientious enough to help a woman out and tell her when she has her skirt tucked into her pantyhose. Thats probably the most embarrassing thing of all.
GEORGEA KOVANIS
One afternoon when I was young and ridiculous and out to lunch in more ways than one, I saw a middleage woman striding down the street, head held high, self-confidence oozing from her pores and the back of her skirt tucked into her pantyhose. I laughed. I felt the back of my own skirt to make sure I wasnt committing a similar offense. I wondered how long it would take before someone told the woman she was showing her underwear to an entire downtown and what shed do when she found out. Of course, I could have alerted the woman to her situation. I could have chased after her, a Good Samaritan saving her from further embarrassment. But, I am ashamed to say, I didnt. I picked up my carryout salad or sandwich or whatever it was I ate

Chilipeppers
From page 1C art of conversation. We have a rule: no cell phones, no iPhones, no computers, Spencer said. I try not to answer the phone myself. Instead of staring at little screens, the Church Street Chilipeppers talk to each other, taking turns around the table telling each other their favorite and least favorite parts of the day. Lillians favorite part? Playing with everybody. Her least favorite part? I didnt have one, the 11-year-old reported. Emilys favorite part? Playing with everybody. Least favorite part? When Ashley had to go home, she said, naming yet another friend who had stayed for a sleepover the night before but left before this nights supper. Seven-year-old Ethan said the best part of his day was playing with Lucas. The worst part, he added, was when Evelyn said mean things. No, I didnt, the little girl protested. Yes, she did, someone interjected. Shes only 5, 10-year-old Sydney Zaykoski pointed out. Sharing food and banter reminds Fran and Steve Spencer of their own youthful suppertimes. She grew up as one of seven siblings; he was one of nine, so meals were lively. When their grandchildren and all the other children go back to school, Itll just be the two of us, Fran Spencer said. And, maybe that will be too quiet. The large ock around their table grew gradually, they said. Steve retired in 2005, and Fran retired in 2010, both from the U.S. Postal Service. They liked to have their grandchildren, who live about two blocks away, come over. And it was fun to have their young friends join them. When its time for supper, Steve Spencer said, Steve Spencer feeds a spoonful of rice pudding to his neighbor you cant tell the other kids Katelyn, 10 months old, as Katelyns sister Evelyn, 5, and Spencers no. Whats one more any- granddaughter Emily, 13, look on. way? I dont mind at all. Emily go next door and Spencer held and fed a bit of Im happy to do it, Fran bring back the baby, rice pudding. Spencer said. You just split who is a younger sister to He so enjoys children, everything up. Evelyn and Lillian. Emily Fran Spencer said. Its a Before the meal ended, came back with 10-month- good thing, or we couldnt the Spencers suggested old Katelyn, whom Steve do this.

Thats because after they were filled with U.S. Govt issued coins, the bags are now sealed for good, said Timothy J. Shissler, Chief Numismatist of the private World Reserve. Since this 2-day public release announcement is being so widely advertised, dealers and collectors cant be stopped from hoarding all the valuable coins they can get their hands on. So a strict limit has been imposed. Only 10 Vault Bags each contain-

You just wont believe the expression on their faces when you hand them these heavy Vault Bags. Coins like these are nearly impossible to find and when theyre gone, theyre gone, said Shissler. Thats why everyone needs to immediately call the National Toll Free Hotline at 1-866-338-2777, use Claim Code BN446. If lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered, he said.

PUZZLES
Contractor would like to fire his wife, but keep their marriage going
Dear Abby: I am a self-employed general contractor, and have been for the most part successful. My wife, Janine, worked in the mortgage industry, but because of the economic downturn hasnt worked in three years. After her mom provided some financial help to my business eight months ago, Janine decided she wanted to work for me doing the office work and bookkeeping. The problem is, she doesnt show up until late afternoon and stays only a short while. She doesnt get any work done, and then she leaves. Although my wife is college-educated, she really cant handle the job.
DEAR ABBY
ADVICE
Her work ethic is terrible. I started my company and Im the boss. When Janine doesnt agree with me about something, she yells so loud Im sure the people who work next door can hear her. I tried to fire her but she says if she cant work for my business, we might as well get divorced. I feel trapped with an employee from hell. I love Janine and dont want a divorce. How can I get her to quit and still stay married? Needs Help in California Dear Needs: Your wifes behavior is immature and inappropriate. If her
being in your office is connected to the money her mother loaned you, my advice is to repay it immediately before your wifes dabbling as a business partner disrupts the business any further. You may love Janine, but if the only thing holding your marriage together is allowing her to play at working in the office, then Im sorry to say you dont have much of a marriage. You need an assistant and your wife needs something else to occupy her time. Dear Abby: I was abused as a child through my teenage years. I told my mom and we talked about it. My stepfather was the molester. Part of me is still angry about what he did to me, but another part thinks fondly of the life we had as kids. Is it
normal to have conflicted emotions about a person who hurt you? None of my siblings knows about my past. My stepfather is deceased now and so is my mom. Survivor in Maryland Dear Survivor: You deserve credit for not only being able to acknowledge your pain, but also emotionally mature enough to look back and not diminish the good things. Its a sign that you are healthy. Your feelings are normal, and you are to be congratulated for being able to view your history in its entirety. Dear Abby: The women I work with are now starting to have grandchildren. Thats great, but when did it become trendy to have baby showers for
the grandmothers? Personally, I think this is over the top. What about you? Shower Overload in Minnesota Dear Shower Overload: I dont agree. It may have become trendy around the time that so many grandmothers assumed responsibility for raising their grandchildren. Or, the women may be so excited about welcoming a first grandchild that they want to celebrate with a party of their own. Simply decline the invitations.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When it happens easily, you usually take it as a sign that it was meant to be. Of course, theres a difference between easy and automatic. What happens automatically could just be a bad habit. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Readers are leaders. Unfortunately, it doesnt always go both ways. If your leader today isnt up on the latest literature in your area of interest, time will be wasted. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Being aware of others will be tough if youre dealing with too much personally. Thats why its never selfish to take excellent care of yourself. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You dont have to be graceful, artful or precise about it just get it done. The obstacles you overcome will have a story of woe to tell once youre done with them! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youll like the exclusivity of todays arrangement. Your Pulitzer Prize-winning sign mate Russell Baker noted, People seem to enjoy things more when they know a lot of other people have been left out of the pleasure. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today has that road-trip feel: life blurring by and you trying to capture pieces of it from a rolled-down window. Of course, you could always pull over and stop awhile. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Mental escape is not quite as relaxing as physical escape, but when youre as busy as you are today, it will have to do. At least you can visit that happy place in your mind as often as possible. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A fascinating person doesnt just talk to you; this person finds a way into the conversation and under your skin. Youll be challenged and moved by the interaction. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have advocates, not that you need defense or are trying to inspire passion in your devotees. But still its nice to know that people are on your side and will be there when and if you ever need them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Dont waste your breath explaining yourself. You cant tell people what to think about you. What you say wont matter. But what you inspire others to say about your message will matter. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Hitchhikers walking toward their destination are more likely to be picked up than those standing in one place with a sign. Move toward your purpose, and someone is likely to give you a ride. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have an extensive list of things you need in order to tackle a project. Rip that list in half, and things will work out even better. Also consider how some people get by in life without many essential things. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug. 8). The restlessness you feel at the top of this new cycle quickly fuels an adventure that spans over the next seven weeks. Youll thrive in a nontraditional setting in September. Public position is featured in November. December brings creative rebirth. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 39, 4, 20 and 3.

Fat in the abdominal area is different than fat in the rest of the body. It is difficult to reduce and is hazardous to your health. Abdominal fat produces destructive hormones that spread throughout the body. There are 2 types, outer fat and intestinal fat.
by inhibiting this fat-storing enzyme LPL, CLA can help reduce the re-accumulation of fat. CLA also helps the body use its existing abdominal fat for energy, thereby increasing fat oxidation and energy expenditure. Dr. Frank Ryans Abdominal Fat Reducer also contains other super highly advanced all-natural ingredients that help reduce abdominal fat. Studies have shown that Dr. Frank Ryans Abdominal Fat Reducer ingredients increase the rate of fat metabolism, which reduces both surface and intestinal abdominal fat and helps inhibit future formation of these abdominal fats. 3, 4, 5 One of these ingredients is a very high quality and potent extract of green tea. This extract is EGCG, which has been shown in clinical studies to dramatically and quickly increase calorie burning which helps to quickly reduce abdominal body fat.4 These ingredients start working in 20 minutes to increase calorie burning, which is the first step to reducing the pot belly. Dr. Ryans other products include topicals, which reduce wrinkles and tighten saggy skin without plastic surgery.
