WASHINGTON Congress
on Friday quickly and quietly ap-
proveda two-monthextensionof
the Social Security payroll tax
cut, ending a week of rancor and
assuring that more
than 160 million
people will avoid a
2 percentage point
payroll taxincrease
next year.
But the calm,
collegial legislative
day was deceptive. When law-
makers return in January, theyll
remain far apart on agreeing to a
longer-term deal.
The package approved Friday
a major victory for President
Barack Obama and a setback for
Republicans inthe House of Rep-
resentatives will assure that
the average employee will avoid
paying $80 a month more in So-
cial Security taxes after Jan. 1.
The rate for employees will re-
main at the 2011 level of 4.2 per-
cent. But if no action is taken be-
fore Feb. 29, it will
rise to 6.2 percent.

WHERED HE PARK THE REINDEER?
DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
W
hat could be more appropriate on Christmas weekend than Santa Claus waving to folks driving around Public
Square in Wilkes-Barre? Maybe there wasnt any snow, but few things spark happy feelings in harried workers and
shoppers more than a big smile and a cheery wave from a white-bearded gent in a red suit.
Natural gas drilling in the Mar-
cellus Shale has boosted Pennsyl-
vanias economy, but its also led
to soaring rents and the displace-
ment of peoplewhocant affordto
stay intheir homes any longer.
And the housing problems ex-
perienced mostly in Northern
Tier counties where drillingis oc-
curring are start-
ingtospill over in-
to Luzerne and
Lackawanna
counties.
So says a recent
study by the Insti-
tute of Public Poli-
cy and Economic
Development,
which operates
from offices in
Wilkes-Barre and
Scranton.
Due to the in-
fluxof gas workers
from other states,
there is a shortage
of rental units. In
addition, because these workers
tend to earn more than local resi-
dents, theyarewillingtopayhigh-
er rents, said Teri Ooms, execu-
tive director of the institute.
The result has been a rent in-
crease of 100 to 150 percent and
current tenants being forced to
moveout whilegas workers move
in, Ooms said.
In Bradford County, for exam-
ple, only 85 percent of Section 8
housing vouchers for low-income
families are being used, meaning
15 percent of program participa-
nts cant findany affordable hous-
ing.
Social service issues also have
surfaced.
OneBradfordCountyagencyis
supporting 40 working families
that could not afford rent increas-
es. Nearly 20 children were re-
cently taken from their families
because of below-standard living
conditions(suchaslivinginacar)

While many of us will be relax-
ing on the holiday weekend,
snowmaking machines at area
ski slopes will be working
overtime trying to make up for
whats so far been a warm,
rainy month of December.
The snow makers have
been idle much of the
monthas temperatures
have been well above
average with the mer-
cury rising into the 60s
some days.
Local ski resort oper-
ators have made due by
focusing the snow mak-
ing process on certain
trails while letting oth-
er trails remain green.
Were trying to
maintainwhat we have
open, said
Mark Verras-
tro, general
manager at Sno
Mountain in Scranton, where
seven of 26 trails are snow-cov-
ered.
Heidi Lutz, at Blue Moun-
tain Ski Area in Palmer-
ton, said typically by now
80 percent of the moun-
tains 39 trails are
open. As of Friday, a
little more than
25 percent were.
Were doing
everything we
possibly can,
Lutz said. She said
mountains can make
snow only when tem-
peratures drop below
32 for an extended pe-
riod of time. And thats
not really happened this
month. According to the
National Weather Ser-
vice, the average temper-
ature for the month has
been 37 degrees. The
normal for December is
30.6 degrees. Only
one day has seen a high temper-
ature below the freezing mark
and that was 31 degrees on Dec.
18.
Verrastro said all of the re-
gions ski resorts are in the same
position.
Were all in no mans land
waiting for the weather to break
and stay broken, he said.
Snowmaking will begin on area slopes

SCRANTON An insurance
company for The Second Mile
charity has asked a federal judge
to declare that it is not responsib-
le to pay for criminal defense or
any civil judgments that might be
entered against Gerald Sandusky
for his alleged sexual abuse of
children.
An attorney for Federal Insur-
ance Company of New Jersey fil-
ed a lawsuit Friday in the U.S.
District Court for the Middle Dis-
trict of Pennsyl-
vania. The suit
seeks to deny
coverage to
Sandusky, argu-
ing that his al-
leged acts were
not committed
in his capacity
as an employee of The Second
Mile, a charity he founded in
1977.
The suit also claims the com-
pany can deny coverage because
the sexual abuse allegations
against Sandusky conflict with
Pennsylvanias public policy
against child sexual abuse.
Sandusky, a former assistant
football coachfor PennState Uni-
versity, was indicted by a state-
wide grand jury in November on
charges that he sexually abused
10 boys over a number of years.
He is also facing a lawsuit filed in
Philadelphia County Court by
one of his alleged victims. Its ex-
pected that other alleged victims
also will file suit.
The lawsuit, knownas a declar-
atory action, asks a judge to re-
view Federals policy with The
Second Mile and make a legal de-
termination as to whether it
must pay attorney fees related to
Sanduskys defense of the crimi-
nal charges, as well as the defense
and any judgment that might be
entered in the civil case.
According the suit, Federal in-
sured The Second Mile under a
policy that is in effect from April
1, 2011toApril 1, 2012. The policy
provided liability coverage for all
charity employees who commit a
wrongful act, which it defined
as any error, misstatement, mis-
leading statement, act, omission,
neglect, breach of duty (or) per-
sonal injury.
The policy contained several
exclusions, including if the in-
sured person committed a delib-
erately fraudulent act or omis-
sion or any willful violation of a
statute or regulation, the suit
says.
While acknowledging Sandus-
ky was aninsuredperson under
the policy, Federal contends he is
not entitled to coverage because
the alleged child sexual abuse
was not committed in his capac-
ity as an employee of the charity.
Federal further contends that
providing coverage to Sandusky
would be unlawful because to
cover claims arising for sexual
abuse of children is repugnant
to Pennsylvania public policy.
Pennsylvania courts have
found that a person who sexually
abuses a minor shouldnot expect
his insurancetocover his miscon-
duct, particularly where the aver-
age insured purchasing insur-
ance would cringe at the very
suggestion that he was paying for
coverage arising out of sexual
abuse of a child, the suit says.
Sanduskywill haveanopportu-
nity to respond to the complaint.
Afederal judge will issue a ruling
at a later date.

HANOVER TWP. Police
reported the following:
John Grohol of East North-
ampton Street, Wilkes-Barre
reported the passenger side
door of his vehicle was damaged
while it was parked in the Sallie
Mae lot on Thursday.
A man attempted to steal
merchandise from the Family
Dollar store on Carey Avenue on
Thursday night. The man was
taking the contents out of boxes
and filling them with other
merchandise when he was con-
fronted by employees. The man
fled the store before police ar-
rived.
Wayne Middleton, of Lynd-
wood Avenue, reported Friday
an unknown person smashed a

POLICE BLOTTER
WILKES-BARRE A man
sentenced to11 to 22 years in
prison in the beating of a Ply-
mouth man has asked a judge to
either reduce his sentence or
award hima new trial.
Eric R. Hogan, 48, of Hill
Street, said in court papers filed
Friday by his attorney, Thomas
Cometa, that the sentence handed
down to himlast week was not
warranted because no actual
burglary occurred and because
there was not enough evidence
presented at the time of his Octo-
ber trial to convict himof the
crimes.
Hogan was sentenced on charg-
es of burglary, aggravated assault,
simple assault and reckless en-
dangerment
Prosecutors say Hogan assault-
ed Donald C. Skiff, of Plymouth,
causing severe head injuries.
Shortly after the attack, Skiff was
listed in unstable condition after
his heart had stopped twice.
Hogan asks for either a reduced
sentence, vacated sentence or new
trial.
WILKES-BARRE A Kingston
woman charged in a deadly hit-
and-run accident in June was
released fromthe county prison
Thursday after a bail posting
hearing.
Karen McCann, 33, also known
as Karen McGill, was released
pending other detainers, on a
$50,000 bail.
McCann is charged with hom-
icide by motor vehicle while driv-
ing under the influence, accidents
involving death, driving under the
influence, driving with a suspend-
ed license and several traffic vio-
lations in the June 30 death of
64-year-old Aloysius McLaughlin.
Luzerne County Judge Tina
Polachek Gartley said McCann
must wear a SCRAM Secure
Continuous Remote Alcohol
Monitor bracelet and obtain
employment within 30 days.
According to court papers,
police said that on June 30
McCann was driving a Chevrolet
Trailblazer that struck and killed
McLaughlin, a landscaper work-
ing in front of a home at 173 Third
Ave., Kingston. Prosecutors said
McCann had cocaine and prescrip-
tion medications in her system
when the accident happened.

A car reported stolen in Wilkes-Barre was involved in a multi-vehicle crash Friday night
on Route 11 in Larksville in front of Pete Broody Tires. The 2002 Lincoln LS sedan and a
sport utility vehicle came to rest near a utility pole outside the business. The owner of
the car told police two men stole it after he was pistol whipped by one of them Thursday

WILKES-BARRE What
looked like discarded tissues
among the coins and dollar
bills stuffed inside a Salvation
Army holiday collection ket-
tle turned out to be two dia-
mond earrings carefully wrap-
ped in the crumpled paper.
Capt. Patty Richwine found
the jewelry in the kettle
Thursday as she filled in for
one of the volunteers who
was unable to count the dona-
tions at the organizations of-
fices on South Pennsylvania
Avenue.
I had them appraised.
Theyre worth $750, Rich-
wine said Friday as she held
out her hand and pulled back
the tissue paper to show
them.
Last year two diamond en-
gagement rings were deposit-
ed in one of the kettles placed
outside stores and businesses
throughout the Wyoming Val-
ley for the organizations holi-
day fundraising campaign.
One of them was sold for
$300, said Richwine
I guess well do the same,
sell them, she said of the ear-
rings that had been placed in
a kettle outside the Walmart
store in Wilkes-Barre Town-
ship.
But before the Salvation Ar-
my benefits from the pro-
ceeds of the sale, Richwine
said she might have to deal
with questions about whether
the earrings were mistakenly
disposed of by someone.
Were they really truly a
gift to the Salvation Army or
did somebody mess up? she
wondered.
In the meantime, the gold
and diamond earrings are
kept in a safe place.
Richwine was straightening
the dollar bills donors folded
and stuffed through the slot
in the top of the kettle when
she pulled out the first piece
of tissue.
Look at this, she recalled
saying to the others counting
donations as she pulled apart
the paper to reveal an earring.
I said, I wonder if the oth-
er ones in here, she added.
Soon enough she found the
other one similarly wrapped.

flood-prone properties in light of the
damage caused by flooding of the Sus-

Stuart Bell, president of Luzerne
Products, said the flood caused the
complex to lose its largest tenant, Gen-
eral Services Administration, which
leased roughly half of the 230,000-
square-foot building to store Social Se-
curity Administration records.
Plainsville Sports, a multi-sport

Being a part of a blended family cre-

Due to the closings and consolida-

Scranton Diocese in the last few years,
making sure there are enough seats dur-

some challenges for blended parishes.
St. Ignatius of Loyola Church in King-

St. Hedwigs and St. Marys Annuncia-
tion churches, which closed in 2008 and
2009, respectively, into its parish. To ac-

in the aisles of the church and also in the
basement. The Mass was videotaped
live and those who sat in the basement
could view the service
on a large screen.
Since St. Ignatius
now has three priests,
the parish will hold
three 4 p.m. Masses to-
day. In addition to a
service at the church
on Maple Avenue, 4
p.m. services will be
held at the parishs sis-
ter church, St. Anns
Chapel on Hoyt Street
and Loveland Avenue,
and an additional ser-
vice is set for the Good
Shepherd Academy
gym.
Masses at 5:30 and
10will alsobe heldinthe churchtonight.
Christmas Day services will be held at
St. Anns Chapel at 7 and 10:30 a.m.
This is the first year roughly 600 fam-
ilies wont be celebrating Christmas in
their beloved Sacred Heart of Jesus/St.
Johnthe Evangelist parish, whichclosed
in June. The church consolidated with
Holy Saviour,which had a membership
of 400 families, and St. Stanislaus, with
200families, inWilkes-Barre andformed
a new parish, now called St. Andre Be-
ssette.
The Rev. Kenneth Seegar, pastor of
the St. Andre Bessette Parish, said he
doesnt anticipate a larger than normal
crowdfor the Christmas services as each
church can accommodate its members
comfortably. Christmas Eve services
will be heldat Holy Saviour at 4p.m. and
at St. Stanislaus Kostka at 10:30 p.m.
Sundays Mass will be held at St. Stanis-
laus at 8:30 a.m. and Holy Saviour at
10:30 a.m.
We anticipate a large crowd, but we
think we can accommodate them, said
the Rev. Kevin Mulhern, pastor of St.
Robert Bellarmine Parish in Wilkes-
Barre. The parish was formed when the
diocese linked the former St. Casimirs
in Lyndwood, Hanover Township, with
St. Aloysius in 2007.
St. Aloysius is the worshiplocationfor
the parish and will hold 4 and 10 p.m.
services today. Christmas Day Masses
will be held at 9 and 11 a.m.

KINGSTON A woman
was swindled out of $1,000
when she was threatened
with fines by a man identify-
ing himself as an agent with
the Drug Enforcement
Agency, Police Chief Keith
Keiper said.
Keiper said the phone call
was definitely a scam and
warnedother residents tobe
cautious of bogus solicita-
tions and threats.
Other police departments
have reported similar phone
scams in recent weeks.
Duryea police said three
residents on the same day
earlier this month received
phone calls that sought pay-
ment for a prize or personal
information.
A resident in the 500
block of Phoenix Street told
Duryea police she receiveda
call from someone asking
about her Medicare account
information. A resident in
the 400 block of Phoenix
Street claimed he received a
call claiming his niece was
in jail in Canada and needed
$7,200 for bail. Police spoke
to the caller, who hung up.
Athird Duryea resident in
the 100 block of Dickson
Street reported she was con-
tacted by a male with a Mid-
dle Eastern accent who
claimed she won $1 million
but needed to send money
to have the prize transferred
to her.
A Wilkes-Barre woman in
November was cheated out
of $300 she wired to what
shebelievedwas a credit col-
lection agency in California.
In the latest scam, Keiper
said the woman reported on
Monday she wired $1,000 af-
ter a man claimed he was an
agent with the Drug En-
forcement Agency in Wash-
ington, D.C. Keiper said the
man told the woman she
faced being arrested for ille-
gally purchasing narcotics
from another country.
She sent money to this
guy, Keiper said. We con-
tacted the DEA in Scranton.
Its a scamall the way. If they
say Drug Enforcement
Agency, it should be a red
flag. Its the Drug Enforce-
ment Administration.
The real DEA sent out a
notice in October warning
the public about callers pos-
ing as DEA special agents.
The impostors prey on
people who, in most cases,
purchased narcotics over
the Internet or by tele-
phone, and say such a pur-
chase is illegal. The fake
agents instruct the victimto
wire money or face arrest.
Telephone scams on rise in area, police warn
Arrest threats and prize
notifications costing

Those traveling for the holiday
weekend will encounter lots of traf-
fic, little snow and the highest gas
prices on record on
Christmas Day.
At $3.27, the average
price per gallon eclipses
the old Christmas Day
high of $3.11 set last
year, according to Jana
Tidwell, spokeswoman
for AAA Mid-Atlantic.
Even with those pric-
es, AAA still projects a
1.2 percent increase in
the number of Wilkes-
Barre area residents expected to ven-
ture at least 50 miles from home
over the holiday season.
Despite slow economic recovery
and high gas prices, over 25 percent
of Wilkes-Barre-area residents, just
over 97,000 people, plan to travel
during the upcoming 11-day holiday
travel season, said Jenny M. Rob-
inson, another AAA Mid-Atlantic spo-
keswoman. The year-end holidays
offer an extended period for travel to
visit family and friends or take a
vacation.
Automobile travel remains the pre-
ferred mode of transportation for
year-end holiday trekk-
ers with over 88,000
people or 91 percent of
travelers from the
Wilkes-Barre area taking
to the roadways in the
coming weeks. Thats a
1.8 percent increase
from the end-of-year
2010 holiday travel sea-
son.
Higher airfares and
fees have led to a pro-
jected 8.4 percent dip in Wilkes-
Barre-area residents flying for the ho-
lidays this year. Only 6 percent of the

AIMEE DILGER PHOTOS/THE TIMES LEADER
Bumper-to-bumper traffic makes its way into the Wyoming Valley Mall area of Wilkes-Barre Township on Friday
afternoon. Analysts see plenty of automobile travel on area roads this weekend despite higher gasoline prices.
More hitting roads for holiday
About 25 percent of the people in
the Wilkes-Barre area will be going
somewhere, the AAA says.
By ANDREWM. SEDER
People fill up their gas tanks before
the holiday weekend. The current
average price per gallon eclipses the
old Christmas Day high of $3.11 set
last year. Still, AAA projects more
area residents will travel at least 50
miles from home for Christmas.
The high gas prices
cap off a record-set-
ting year for fuel
costs. The price of gas
in 2011 has averaged
$3.52 both locally and
nationally, the highest
annual average ever.

COLUMBIA, S.C.
S.C.s voter ID law rejected
T
he Justice Department is rejecting
South Carolinas voter ID law, say-
ing it makes it harder for minorities to
vote.
Assistant Attorney General Thomas
E. Perez said Friday that South Car-
olinas law didnt meet the burden
under the Voting Rights Act. He says
tens of thousands of minorities in
South Carolina may be unable to cast
ballots under the law because they
dont have the right identification.
The Justice Department must ap-
prove changes to South Carolinas
election laws because of the states
failure in the past to protect the voting
rights of blacks.
PHILADELPHIA
School district lays off 141
The Philadelphia School District is
cutting loose 141 employees just before
Christmas in layoffs it calls unavoid-
able.
The layoff notices going out Friday
are the result of $15 million in cuts
announced by the district in December
as it tries to cut a $629 million budget
deficit.
Forty-seven of the workers laid off
are school nurses. The remainder are
also nonteaching positions.
District spokesman Fernando Gal-
lard says the layoffs are necessary to
help stabilize the districts financial
situation.
Philadelphia Federation of Teachers
President Jerry Jordan says the union
will try to fight the layoffs.
WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND
More quakes rock city
Christchurch was still shaking on
Christmas Eve, with seismologists
logging 13 sizeable earthquakes over-
night, hours after the shattered city in
New Zealand was rocked by a swarm of
massive tremors.
The largest, of magnitude-5.1, struck
at 6:37 a.m. Saturday.
Mayor Bob Parker said, however,
that damage to the city, already devas-
tated by a series of quakes over the last
16 months, appeared to be minimal.
Nine shakes in three-and-a-half
hours, including a magnitude-6, on
Friday brought down buildings already
damaged by a series of devastating
tremors, cut power supplies, blocked
streets with mud floods and toppled
rocks from suburban hillsides.
More than 180 people died in a 6.3
shake in February, and although para-
medics reported treating 60 people and
hospital emergency centers had an
influx of patients, most were suffering
shock or panic trauma and had not
been injured by falling debris, news
reports said.
WINTER BEACH, FLA.
Christmas gift takes a year
An Arkansas woman finally has proof
that she bought her mother a Christ-
mas gift last year.
The package Mary Beth Mauldin
sent via the United States Postal Ser-
vice last December finally arrived in
Florida on Dec. 16 one year and six
days after it was mailed from Green-
brier, Ark.
The Vero Beach Press Journal re-
ports Mauldin visited the post office
numerous times over the past year to
try to track the package.
The box contained a gift card and a
flannel nightgown for her mother,
Mary Lou Shelton.
The women got an apology from
post office officials, who say they arent
sure what caused the delay.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
Heavy snow from a winter
storm blanketed parts of the
West on Friday, stranding mo-
torists throughout New Mexi-
co, and delaying holiday travel-
ers who were trying to fly in
and out of Albuquerque and
Denver.
The snow and high winds
struckthe regionThursday and
forced dozens of drivers off In-

tions made driving near impos-
sible in western New Mexico.

By Friday morning, the Na-
tional Weather Service report-
ed that Grants and parts of
western New Mexico had been
slammed with more than a foot
of snow. A winter storm warn-
ing remained in effect for the
state throughFriday afternoon,
but meteorologists said the
snow wasnt expected to clear
up until the weekend.
Some parts of the state saw
16 inches as state and local po-
lice responded to dozens of mi-
nor accidents. No major inju-
ries were reported.
The New Mexico Depart-
ment of Transportation closed
parts of I-40 around Albuquer-

because of poor driving condi-

said.
State-run TV said the al-Qaida

across the nation early Friday, with hun-

buy the classic basketball shoes and row-
dy crowds breaking down doors and
starting fights in at least two cities.
Police used pepper spray on about 20
people at a mall near Seattle, while offi-
cers arrested at least four unruly shop-
pers in suburban Atlanta.
People started gathering around mid-
night at four stores in the Westfield
Southcenter mall in suburban Seattle for
a chance tobuythe shoes, whichretail for
$180 a pair, Tukwila Officer Mike Mur-
phy said. The crowd grew to more than
1,000 people by 4 a.m., when the stores
opened, he said.
Around 3 (a.m.) there started to be
some fighting and pushing among the
customers, he said. Around 4, it started
fromfights. One man was arrested for as-
sault after authorities say he pushed an
officer.
He did not get his shoes; he went to
jail, Murphy said.

PARIS France took the
costly and unprecedented step
Friday of offering to pay for
30,000 women to have their
breast implants removed be-
cause of mounting fears the
products could rupture and
leak cheap, industrial-grade sil-
icone into the body.
Tens of thousands of other
women elsewhere in Europe
and in South America have the
same French-made implants,
but authorities there have so
far refused to follow suit. The
silicone-gel implants in ques-
tion are not sold in the U.S.
Over the past week, the safe-
ty fears have created a public
furor over something usually
kept private, even in France.
Women whose own families
didnt know they had their
breasts enlarged marched on
Paris to demand more atten-
tion to worries about what
might be happening inside
them. Images of leaky, blub-
bery implants and women hav-
ing mammograms have been
splashed on French TV.

WILKES-BARRE A Moun-
tain Top man filed a lawsuit in
county court Tuesday against
the Glen Summit Company, sev-
eral of its officers and Luzerne
County, alleging insider trading
and rigging of real estate tax-
es.
Richard Manning, a resident
of the Glen Summit community,
filed the lawsuit against resi-
dents and former board direc-
tors Catherine Hourigan, David
Hourigan, Ruth Hughes and her
husband, Luzerne County
judge-elect Richard Hughes, as
well as Luzerne County Director
of Assessments Anthony Alu
and Luzerne County, Fairview
Township and the Crestwood
School District.
The suit also names any pre-
sent, past andfuture boarddirec-
tors that Manning says will be
named as the suit progresses.
I have seen the filing, and I
knowit to be frivolous, Hughes
said, declining to comment fur-
ther.
Contact informationfor David
Hourigan could not be located,
and a message left at a phone
number listed for a Katherine
Hourigan was not returned.
Attorney David Schwager,
who represents the county as-
sessment office in assessment
matters, had not seen the filing
and said he could not comment.
Manning alleges that begin-
ning 25 years ago, a specific
group began to form and con-
trol the company, selecting peo-
pletoserveontheboardof direc-
tors at their discretion.
That specific group, Manning
writes, includes the Hourigans
and Hugheses, and all other
board members.
The way both families ac-
quired their shares in stock,
Manning said, is also question-
able. The lawsuit does not spe-
cifically detail that allegation.
Manning alleges that appeals
made to the countys tax assess-
ment office by Glen Summit
land owners is corporate chi-
canery and that negotiations
with the assessment office and
Alu resulted in unrealistically
low values being assessed on
(Glen Summit Companys) real
property holdings thus result-
ing in grossly undervalued as-
sessments ...
Manning alleges a reduction
of around $1.3 million for four
parcels of land. Manning said he
brought his concerns about the
values to the school district, and
that nothing was ever done
about the revised assessed val-
ues.
Manning says he should not
have to pay a maintenance
agreement fee to use tennis and
other facilities in the develop-
ment because he suffered an in-
jury in World War II that does
not allow him to use the facili-
ties. Glen Summit, Manning
says, refused to make any excep-
tions.
Manning also alleges: the
companyhas failedtodevelopor

HAVANA President Raul
Castro on Friday put on ice
highly-anticipated plans to ease
travel restrictions on Cubans,
telling lawmakers the nation
would not be pressured into
moving too fast and citing con-
tinued aggression from the Unit-
ed States as the reason for his
cautious approach.
Cuba has been awash in spec-
ulation the much-hated regula-
tions, which prevent most Cu-
bans from leaving the island,
might be lifted during Fridays
session of the National Assemb-
ly. But Castro said the time still
wasnt right, despite a year of
free-market reforms that has
seen the Communist govern-
ment legalize a real estate mar-
ket and greatly increase private
business ownership.
Some have been pressuring
us to take the step ... as if we
were talking about something
insignificant, and not the desti-
ny of the revolution, Castro
said, adding that those calling
for an end to the travel
restrictions are forget-
ting the exceptional cir-
cumstances under which
Cuba lives, encircled by
the hostile policy ... of
the U.S. government.
Castro criticized U.S.
President Barack Oba-
ma, saying he was the
11th American president
since the 1959 revolu-
tion led by his brother Fidel,
and appeared not to under-
stand the sacrifices Cuba had
made in its struggle for inde-
pendence and sovereignty, in-
cluding the Bay of Pigs invasion
and the Cuban Missile Crisis, as
well as Washingtons 49-year
trade and travel embargo.
Sometimes, he (Obama)
gives the impression he has not
even been informed of this real-
ity, Castro said, repeating his
willingness to normalize rela-
tions with the U.S. under the
right conditions.
Castro also announced an am-
nesty for 2,900 prison-
ers ahead of next
years visit by Pope
Benedict XVI, but a se-
nior official told the
Associated Press that
jailed American sub-
contractor Alan Gross
would not be among
those freed.
The Cuban presi-
dent told legislators he
still hoped to enact the travel
reforms, but did not say when. If
hopes were high among islan-
ders that Friday would be the
big day, Castro had only himself
to blame.
At parliaments last session, in
August, he announced that the
government was committed to
ease the travel restrictions. He
said the measures were original-
ly adopted because many who
left in the years after the revolu-
tion were a threat to the nascent
government, including people
backed by the United States
who sought its overthrow.

WILKES-BARRE ADupont
woman has filed a lawsuit in
Luzerne County Court against
the Luzerne County SPCA, al-
leging she was attacked by a pit
bull at the nonprofit organiza-
tion.
Kelly Reed, of Main Street,
claims in the suit she was at-
tacked by a dog that was on 10-
day quarantine for biting peo-
ple. She is seeking an unspec-
ified payment due to the orga-
nizations alleged negligence
and her subsequent pain and
suffering.
The suit, filed through attor-
neys Michael Cefalo and James
Albert, says that on Feb. 26,
2010, the SPCA had a pit bull
named Ishia on quarantine for
biting an SPCA employee.
The SPCA knew the dog at-
tacked people and had vicious
tendencies when Reed arrived
to pick the dog up for its owner,
who is not named in the suit.
The suit says Reed became
uncomfortable with being with
the dog in a kennel, and asked
to be let out.
Reed alleges she was told to
wait a minute and that the
dog jumped at her, grabbing
her jacket. Reed says she took
off the jacket, and the dog
ripped it to pieces.
Reed alleges she again asked
to be let out of the kennel and
was told to wait, and the dog
jumped on her and began biting
her.
The employee, the suit alleg-
es, finally opened the door, but
the dog had already latched on-
to Reeds hand.
Reed alleges she and the em-
ployee had to struggle with the
dog to get it off her, ending the
violent attack.
The suit says the SPCA acted
negligently by failing to re-
strain the dog properly and fail-
ing to have proper supervision
around the dog.
Cindy Stark, the shelters
manager, did not return a
phone call seeking comment
Friday.
Reed alleges that as a result
of the attack, she has lost feel-
ing in her hand and that she suf-
fered scars and disfigurement.
The suit says Reed lost her
job at Mountain Marketing as a
result of the attack, and that
she also has lost her well-be-
ing.
The suit requests an unliq-
uidated sum as payment, as
well as interest and costs asso-
ciated with filing the suit.

KINGSTON Cathy McHugh
feels police should have released
a warning before issuing parking
tickets on Thursday.
McHugh, of Butler Street, said
a police officer issued dozens of
tickets for vehicles parked with
the drivers side facing the curb.
Vehicles on Reynolds and James
streets also were ticketed, she
said.
I have personally lived here
my entire life and it was never
enforced, McHugh said. Ive
parked like that and so have my
husband and neighbors and we
never received a ticket until
Thursday.
Under the state crimes code
for parking regulations on two-
lane roadways, right side wheels
must be within 12 inches of the
right side curb or road edge.
Police Chief Keith Keiper
could not be reached for com-
ment Friday afternoon.
Mayor James Haggerty said
he was unaware of the ticket
blitz.
Those who received tickets
are assessed a $15 fine that must
be paid within two days or face
additional penalties.
A description on McHughs ci-
tation, Parking or stopping with
left side to curb is checked, but
fails to list the time and street
when and where it was issued. It
also fails to describe the make
and model of the vehicle, only
requiring the license plate and
officers badge number.
The citation also fails to list
the violation title and code as it
appears in the crimes code regu-
lations.
Ninety-five percent of parking
fines are paid to the state De-
partment of Revenue and trans-
ferred to the state Treasury De-
partment, and then funneled to
the state Department of Public
Welfares Attendant Care Pro-
gram, which provides resources
for senior citizens and those
with disabilities living on their
own, according to the crimes
code.
The remaining 5 percent is
paid to the municipality where
the ticket was issued.
McHugh said residents in the
neighborhood should have been
given a warning before being is-
sued tickets.
I understand its a state law,
but it has never been enforced
here, McHugh said. To do this
before the holidays with people
from out of town visiting, its a
shame.

until theparent or guardiancould
find more reasonable accommo-
dations.
And one Bradford County de-
partment bought and distributed
tents for people to live in until
they can find affordable housing.
There are also several cases of
children living with extended
family while parents stay in a
backyard tent, according to the
study.
Another problem is that the
price of land has risen with the
MarcellusShalerushandcontrac-
tors who are building are leaning
towardinfrastructureforthedrill-
ing industry rather than building
houses andapartments.
According to the study, which
examined all Pennsylvania coun-
ties in which drilling has oc-
curred, Luzerne County hasnt
seen the widespread problems to
anywhere near the degree of its
neighbors tothenorth, giventhat
drillingherestoppedafter twoex-
ploratory wells showed poor pro-
ductionresults.
But there has been some rental
activity in the Back Mountain ar-
ea, aslandlordswhoareanticipat-
ing changes are increasing their
rents, although not to the degree
as in other areas, the study re-
ports.
And affordable housing prob-
lemsareincreasinghere. Oneuni-

suggested that the problem is
spilling over into other counties
where shale development is not
occurring.
Lackawanna and Luzerne
counties are the destination of
manyWyomingCountyresidents
who are unable to find affordable
housing there, the study states.
And the directors of housing au-
thorities in Luzerne County have
said fair market rents set by the
federal government for this area
are outdatedandtoo low.
These problems are only pro-
jected to continue or get worse.
The study points out that unlike
goldrushes of the past, drillingin
theMarcellusShalemaywell con-
tinue for 50 years, making a long-
term solution to the housing cri-
sis essential.
We must recognize that Penn-
sylvanias Marcellus Shale indus-
tryis inits earlystages of develop-
ment and that the public, private
and nonprofit sectors will have to
make financial commitments to a
regional approachtodealingwith
the housing issues, Ooms said.
The study suggests the best
way to resolve these issues is by
groups of counties working to-
gether. Some ideas include:
Land Banking Counties
could work together to ensure

PHILADELPHIA Pennsyl-
vania won more than $41 mil-
lion in education funding in the
competitive federal grant pro-
gram known as Race to the
Top, a portionof whichstate of-
ficials want to use for new eval-
uation systems for teachers and
principals.
Gov. Tom Corbett said in a
statement Friday that the state
plans to pilot new assessments
for principals beginning in the
next academic year. He is also
pushing for statewide imple-
mentation of a teacher evalua-
tion system now being tested in
more than 100 districts.
State law currently precludes
student performance from be-
ingusedtoevaluate the approxi-
mately 130,000 teachers in
Pennsylvania. But legislation
pending in the House would
base a significant portion of an
educators and a principals as-
sessment on multiple measures
of student achievement, ac-
cording to state Education Sec-
retary Ronald Tomalis.
The grant announced Thurs-
day will also be used to improve
science, technology, engineer-
ing and math (STEM) educa-
tion.
Half thefundingwhichwill
be allocated over the next four
years by Tomalis department
will be appropriated to local
education agencies, such as
school districts and intermedi-
ate units.
Pennsylvania was one of sev-
en states to get a share of the
$200 million allocated in this
round of Race to the Top. The
others were Arizona, Colorado,
Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana
and New Jersey.

WASHINGTON Vice Presi-
dent Joe Biden said Friday that
GOP presidential candidate Mitt
Romneyfavors economic policies
that would help some succeed
but leave most others behind.
Romney countered that Biden
and President Barack Obama are
living in a fantasyland if they
think policies their policies are
helping the economy.
Biden made the claims in an
opinionpiece publishedFriday in
The Des Moines Register. The
vice president singled out Rom-
ney in Iowa, where the first votes
will be cast in the GOP caucuses
in less than two weeks.
For his part, President Barack
Obama largely has refrainedfrom
counterattacking Republicans,
saying he will wait until there is a
nominee. But Obamas re-elec-
tion campaign has not, and Bi-
dens columnis the latest signthe
Obama team believes Romney
will emerge from the field.
BidensaidRomneys economic
proposals wouldactually double
down on the policies that caused
the greatest economic calamity
since the Great Depression and
accelerated a decades-long as-
sault on the middle class.
Romney also misleadingly
suggests that the president and I
are creating an Entitlement So-
ciety, whereby government pro-
vides everything for its people
without regard to merit, as op-
posedto what he calls anOppor-
tunity Society, where every-
thing is merit-based and every
man is left to fend for himself,
Biden wrote.
Romney, campaigning in New
Hampshire, said Biden and Oba-
ma dont understand fromfanta-
syland what its like in real Amer-
ica.
The former Massachusetts
governor said Obamas policies
have made it harder for entrepre-
neurs to start businesses and cre-
ate jobs.
Bidens message underscored
the major theme of Obamas re-
election bid, as the president
spelledout inaspeechearlier this
month in Kansas: The middle
class is at a make-or-break mo-
ment. The president, saddled
with high unemployment, has to
make the case that his is the bet-
ter visionfor anongoingeconom-
ic recovery for all.

UNION DALE Alleging a breach of
contract, the resort village at the base of
Elk Mountain in Union Dale filed a suit
Monday in Susquehanna County Court
that defense attorneys claim could shut
down the mountain during its busiest
season.
The suit, filed on behalf of the Village
of Four Seasons Association Inc., claims
that while Elk Mountain Ski Resort Inc.
has had uninterrupted access to a rec-
reational lake used for snowmaking pur-
poses, Elk has restricted the use of
shared land including the May 2011 clo-
sure of an access gate leading from the
village to the resort itself.
The village association notified offi-
cials from the resort in July 2011 that it
would no longer permit Elk to with-
draw water from its lake for snow mak-
ing purposes during the 2011-2012 ski
season and thereafter.
Elk Mountain has grown exponen-
tially in the past few years, further in-
creasing the need to make snow, the suit
states.
FollowingMondays filing, Atty. David
Gromelski representing the Village of
Four Seasons, filed a petition on Tues-
day for special and preliminary injunc-
tive relief.
In a response filed Wednesday, Atty.
Paul K. Leary said granting the relief
would essentially shutdown (sic) Elk
Mountain over the Christmas and New
Years holiday. Leary argued the shut-
down would be counterintuitive be-
cause without snow, the mountain is
closed and there is absolutely no need
for the Village to have access to the
gate.
If the injunction is granted, Elk
Mountain shuts down plain and sim-
ple, Leary wrote.
A hearing is scheduled for Jan. 13 at 9
a.m. in Courtroom1of the Susquehanna
County Courthouse.
A phone call seeking comment from
Elk Mountain General Manager Gregg
Confer was not immediately returned.
The Elk Mountain website listed only
five of its 27 ski slopes open on Friday.
Elk Mountain fears shutdown over villages lawsuit
Four Seasons challenges the ski
facilitys access to a lake it uses for
making snow.

Camelback Mountain near Tan-
nersville has eight of 33 trails open;
Jack Frost in Kidder Township has
10 of 21; Big Boulder, near Lake Har-
mony has six of 15 open; and Shaw-
nee Mountain, near Marshalls
Creek, has 11 of 26 open.
Verrastro said that while skiers
have beencomingout toget inwhat-
ever time they can on the slopes,
conditions have beenless thanideal.
Its been rough. Weve had some
snowmakingtemperatures but its
been marginal at best, he said.
When the unseasonably warm
temperatures arent doing damage
to the slopes, the rain has. The past
week, rain has eaten away at the ex-
isting snow and with temperatures
too warm to make fresh powder, op-
erators are keeping an eye on the
forecast.
Things are looking goodfor snow-
making this weekend.
While daytime highs will still be
in the 30s and 40s, its the lows that
ski resorts care about. And the Na-
tional Weather Service is predicting
temperatures belowfreezing eachof
thenext fivenights andthepotential
for some snow Sunday and Tuesday
nights.
Megan McHugh, spokeswoman
for Camelback Mountain, said there
are still brown spots on some runs
but the snow guns would be turned
on Friday night and the goal was to
get three more trails openintime for
skiers today.
By this time last year, McHugh
noted, every trail on the mountain
was open.
It got colder earlier last year, she
said. But she knows the weather is
out of their hands. DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
The snow-
making ma-
chines at area
ski resorts will
be working
overtime to
make up for a
mild season so
far. Things are
looking good
for snowmak-
ing this week-
end at Sno
Mountain and
other resorts
with daytime
highs in the
30s and 40s
and night time
lows below
freezing.

mercial properties are eligi-
ble for the buyout, but the
state is giving priority to
residential properties.
They certainly can apply,
but the state has to approve
them. The priority is toward
residences, not businesses. I
dont want to throw cold wa-
ter on anyone, but thats the
reality of it.
Bell declined to say how
much of a financial loss he
has suffered. The loss of the
Social Security contract was
a significant blow to the
company. GSA had leased
130,000 square feet to store
roughly 280,000 boxes of so-
cial security records. The re-
cords were destroyed by the
flood, which negated the
agencys need to continue to
lease the structure, Bell
said.
Social Security essential-
ly hired a company to come
in and remove all the files
that were destroyed. Since
all the files were destroyed,
they no longer needed the
space and terminated the
lease, he said.
Bell in September criti-
cized GSAs handling of the
records removal, claiming
its delay in hiring a compa-
ny in to clean out the re-
cords had caused toxic mold
to form.
Bell said the issue of re-
moving the mold, and who
will pay for the remediation,
is still ongoing. He declined
to comment on whether he
will seek to file a lawsuit
against GSA relating to the
matter.
The sports training com-
plex housed a baseball train-
ing facility, which included
an outdoor ball field.
The management of the
baseball training facility was
set to be taken over by sev-
eral retired major league
players on Nov. 1. Bell said
those plans, along with a
proposal to build an 112,000
square foot multi-purpose
synthetic turf field, have
been scrapped.
Brozena said applications
for the buyout program re-
lated to the September
flooding are due by Dec. 30.
Property owners must make
application through the mu-
nicipality in which the struc-
ture is located.
AID
areas population that is pro-
jected to travel more than 50
miles over the next 9 days
will do so by air.
At $210, the average round
trip airfare in the nation this
week is a 21 percent increase
from last year at this time.
The high gas prices cap
off a record-setting year for
fuel costs. The price of gas
in 2011 has averaged $3.52
both locally and nationally,
the highest annual average
ever. The old yearly average
high mark was set in 2008 at
$3.26 locally and $3.25 na-
tionally.
And though prices have
come down in recent weeks,
the roller coaster will begin
ascending soon, Robinson
said.
AAA anticipates prices
will continue to drop in the
coming weeks but after
bottoming out this winter,
we expect gas prices will
springboard toward the
$4.00 per gallon mark next
spring, she said.
Somewhere between
Black Friday and Ground
Hog Day prices will bottom
out, said Tom Kloza, chief
oil analysts for the Oil Price
Information Service, with
January as the likely month
for the price bottom when
demand is typically low,
which will become the
launch pad for a spring rally
that could potentially add
another $1 to wherever the
bottom occurs.

CINCINNATI A 1941 fruitcake has sold
for $525 to an Arizona man in an Ohio compa-
nys online auction, and the money will go to
the homeless in southwest Ohio.
Elite Estate Group sold the cake in an auc-
tion on its website. Company owner Larry
Chaney said the man, who wanted to remain
anonymous, probably bought the cake as anin-
vestment. Chaney said he doubts anyone
would eat a 70-year-old fruitcake even though
it was vacuumpacked and contained rumthat
probably helped preserve it.
The cake was made in 1941 by The Kroger
Co. It was returned unopened to a Kroger
store in 1971. The manager took it home and
kept it until recently when his son was helping
himget ridof some things andgave the cake to
Chaney.

SCRANTON When Scranton
businessman Bob Bolus had the
idea to host a free dinner open to
the public on Christmas Day 17
years ago, hehadtroubleconvinc-
ing potential venues that anyone
would showup.
Almost two decades later, his
annual holiday tradition attracts
close to 3,000 people fromLacka-
wannaCounty. ThisyearBolusal-
so has extended an open invita-
tion to all flood victims from Lu-
zerneandSusquehannacounties.
The holiday spirit also is alive
and well closer to home. Those
looking for a Christmas meal in
Luzerne County are not without
opportunity to do so.
Wilkes-Barre-based nonprofit
Commission on Economic Op-
portunity will partner with the
First Presbyterian Church on
South Franklin Street in Wilkes-
Barre to hold Christmas Togeth-
er dinners.
The dinners take place from 9
a.m. to noontoday and7 a.m. to 3
p.m. Sunday. Asit-downmeal will
be served and meals also will be
delivered to elderly and home-
bound on Christmas Day.
Two other Christmas Day din-
nerswill behostedinthearea, one
at St. Vincent dePaul Kitchen in
Wilkes-Barre from 11 a.m. to 1
p.m. andthe other at HolyRosary
Church in Hazleton from 11 a.m.
to 2 p.m. Holy Rosary also deliv-
ers meals.
Bolus buffet-style dinner will
be held at St. Lucys Church, 949
Scranton St., Scranton, on Sun-
day from noon to 6 p.m. Takeout
and delivery will be available.
Bolus face lit up as he recalled
the first time he organized the
now massive undertaking just
two weeks before Christmas.
It just happened at a point in
my life when I felt I was in a posi-
tion to give something back. It
wassomethingI alwayswantedto
do. My kids were all grown up,
and one day a fewfriends of mine
said, Lets have a dinner, Bolus
explained.
Toeveryonessurprise,150peo-
ple came that year, which grewto
over 2,800 in 2010. He expects
even more in 2011, increasing the
number of turkeysfromlast years
75to95thisyear after advertising
to passing truckers with posters
ininterstaterest areas, postingon
thewebsitesof national andCana-
dian trucking organizations, and
extendinganinvitationtoregion-
al flood victims.
After the devastation they
went through, they dont have to
sit there and feel bad. They can
have Christmas too, and thats
what I want to see happen, so
were preparing for more and
more people, he said.

korny contributed to this story.

In the end House Republicans felt
like they were re-enacting the
Alamo, with no reinforcements and
our friends shooting at us.
U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady
The Texas Republican commented soon after House Republicans caved
Thursday to demands by President Barack Obama, congressional
Democrats and fellow Republicans for a short-term renewal of payroll
tax cuts for all workers.
Ex-West Pittston mayor
grateful for flood help
O
n Sept. 9, a devastating flood took a
major toll on the Wyoming Valley,
especially in the Garden Village of
West Pittston.
For our community of 5,000 residents,
the devastation was twice as bad as the
Agnes Flood of 1972. More than 800
homes were affected; thats about one third
of our total.
Our beautiful town took a big hit, but we
will be back!
The flood helped to reinforce why a lot
of us love West Pittston and the Wyoming
Valley. Its the people! Days, weeks and
even months after the flood, the volun-
teers, the kind acts, the donations, the
prayers and the kind words are still com-
ing.
They come from neighbors, friends,
relatives and strangers. From businesses,
their employees and college students from
both Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. From the
American Red Cross, the Salvation Army
and all the churches.
There was such an outpouring of care
and concern. From free meals, cleaning
supplies, free food, gift certificates, even
offers of free massages. And now, during
the rebuilding, the local contractors wont
inflate their prices, but rather want to help
us all get back into our homes. These
contractors have been working nights and
weekends because they care about our
area and us.
The lights in the darkened homes are
starting to come on again, shining brighter
than ever.
Some residents will be back in their
homes with family for Christmas a lot
will not. During this Christmas season, say
an extra prayer for our community and our
residents. Continue to do what you can to
help all the flood victims; it is a very stress-
ful time for all of us.
On behalf of my family, thank you to all
who have helped us in any way. Every
encouraging word and every little bit of
help was greatly appreciated and will nev-
er be forgotten.
We wish everyone a very merry Christ-
mas and a healthy and happy New Year.
Happy holidays to all!
Bill Goldsworthy
Former mayor

K
JIMMY STEWART, one of
Hollywoods most beloved
actors, would be appalled
by the popularity of todays
movies that glorify war and
the platinum heroes who
star in them.
Stewart was a genuine hero, a highly
decorated fighter pilot who flew 20 combat
missions against Nazi Germany during
World War II. After the war, he refused to
act in any movie about the conflict or his
role in it. It contradicted his personal code
of honor.
Instead, Stewart, a bona fide star before
the war, renewed his Hollywood career with
a film that celebrates life and has become an
annual holiday classic: Its A Wonderful
Life. Inspired by the actors desperate need
to put World War II behind him, this be-
loved film continues to attract new audi-
ences 65 years later.
During his 43-year film career, Stewart, a
native Pennsylvanian, matured from leading
man to a beloved national icon. His classic
performances in Mr. Smith Goes to Wash-
ington (1939) and The Philadelphia Sto-
ry (1940) made him a box office star with
an awkward but endearing way of muttering
asides and of providing memorable double
takes and affably wry retorts.
But in March 1941, with war looming on
Americas horizon, Stewart, then 33, aban-
doned Hollywood to enlist in the U.S. Army
Air Corps. His decision shocked Hollywood
at a time when other stars were hoping to
avoid service. Louis Mayer, the head of
MGM Studios, even offered Stewart in-
centives to keep him out of uniform. But he
refused.
After the United States entered the war,
the military brass initially refused to send
the actor into combat. If Stewart was shot
down in enemy territory and taken prisoner,
he could be used as a pawn to obtain impor-
tant concessions from the United States.
While frustrated, Stewart never com-
plained nor made any attempt to pull
strings. Instead, he spent two years proving
his mettle by flying around-the-clock as a
B-17 instructor pilot. He rose from a private
to a captain in command of his own squad-
ron in the 445th Bomb Group.
On Nov. 11, 1943, Stewart was granted his
wish to enter combat. Assigned to fly B-24
Liberators for the 453rd Bomb Group at Old
Buckenham, England, he flew 20 combat
missions against the Nazis, including one
over Berlin. His bravery and leadership in
combat earned him a Distinguished Flying
Cross, the Air Medal and the French Croix
de Guerre.
World War II had profoundly affected
Stewart. He had seen the horrors of combat
and it changed him both physically and
psychologically. Gone was the boyish in-
nocence of his pre-war films, replaced by a
tougher, more hardened appearance. He
refused to discuss the war, revel in his hero-
ic contributions or make a film that glori-
fied the brutality and devastation of com-
bat. He believed that it would belittle the
sacrifice of those people who died for their
country.
Stewart also considered retiring from the
Silver Screen. Acting seemed trivial in
light of his wartime experience. Film direc-
tor Frank Capra understood Stewarts need
to put the war behind him as well as the
countrys desire to have its spirits lifted and
wrote a screenplay to address those needs.
Its A Wonderful Life is about George
Bailey, a small-town citizen down on his
luck, and a Christmas Eve visit from Clar-
ence Oddbody, his bumbling guardian an-
gel. Oddbody shows Bailey (played by Stew-
art) how meaningless the lives of others
would be without his life-long kindness and
restores his faith.
Released near Christmas 1946, Its A
Wonderful Life was a box office disappoint-
ment, panned by many critics for being too
sentimental. Nor did it win a single Acade-
my Award.
But the films timeless message of re-
demption through faith and its countless
television re-runs since the 1980s have
made it one of the most beloved movies of
all-time and a perennial holiday favorite.
Shortly before his death in 1997, Stewart
declared it his favorite film because it is a
timeless image of the American way of life
and the values that made this country great:
duty, honor, service to others, and a strong,
unconditional love of family and country.
Sometimes movie-goers dont appreciate
what they have until its gone. In Jimmy
Stewart, we all had something pretty spe-
cial.

HE HEALTH-CARE
reformlawpassed last
year requires insurers
tooffer, at a minimum,
aset of essential benefits toin-
dividuals and small groups, in-
cluding coverage for hospitali-
zation, outpatient care and pre-
scription drugs. The details of
what is or is not essential were
left totheDepartment of Health
and Human Services to decide.
Last week, however, the de-
partment put out a bulletin pro-
posingtolet eachstate come up
with its own definition. The
move which shielded the ad-
ministration from a potential
firestorm of criticism from pa-
tient advocates on one side and
business groups on the other
was politically deft. But creat-
ing a patchwork of 50 different
standards for health coverage
would be bad policy. Adminis-
tration officials now say the
move is merely temporary, and
it had better be.
The Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act called for
insurers to offer a standardized
minimum benefits package to
make it easier for consumers to
shopfor plans andtoreduce the
number of people with inade-
quate insurance policies. The
latter problem contributes to
the high number of Americans
forced into bankruptcy by med-
ical bills. Thelawlays out10cat-
egories of services that must be
covered, but also says benefits
must mirror a typical employ-
er plan.
The bulletinreleasedby HHS
says the agency will re-evaluate
its approachin2016, althoughit
doesnt commit to establishing
a single national standard at
that point. It should. Postpon-
ingthebattleover essential ben-
efits might buy time for states
to focus on other important re-
quirements of the law. But Con-
gress was right to call for a na-
tional standard.

nowin layaway, a free
display of human
kindness!
It has been invigorating to
watch a wave of decency con-
sistent withthespirit of this ho-
liday season rolling across the
country in recent weeks.
From the Wilkes-Barre area
to San Mateo, Calif.,
anonymous benefac-
tors have been pay-
ing off department-
store layaway ac-
counts, particularly
for desperate fam-
ilies with lots of kids.
A woman in Indi-
anapolis paid off 50
accounts at a local
Kmart, covered the
cost of two carts of
toys for strangers at the cash
register and then randomly
handed out $50 bills in memo-
ry of her late husband.
In Hayward, Calif., a man
paid down 63 layaway ac-
counts.
A woman in Boise, Idaho,
paidanaccount because when
she was younger somebody did
something like that for her
Christmas, a store clerk told a
local TV news reporter. Anoth-
er person paid $500 on eight
layaway accounts.
InExton, Pa., it was reported
that an anonymous donor had
made it possible for a formerly
homeless woman to give her
son a toy crane and her daugh-
ters Barbie dolls.
Sales workers at Wal-Mart
and Target stores are reporting
mystery benefactors as well.
Layawayprograms, whichal-
lowcustomers to pick out toys,
clothes or other gifts and pay
thebill off alittleat atime, once
seemed relegated
to history. But the
economy in recent
years has brought
them back.
Once the lay-
away bill is paid,
customers can get
their items. But
many families are
in danger of not
paying off their ac-
counts before
Christmas. Fortunately for
some, the newly dubbed lay-
away angels are stepping up.
Their acts of kindness are
powerful reminders of the
goodness that still exists in a
world where greed too often
rules. These layaway angels
speak clearly to the better side
of human nature. It is the side
that we all need to see more of,
the side that makes people ca-
pable of random acts of kind-
ness without seeking anything
at all in return.

WASHINGTON Republican
U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta of Hazle-
ton says he is happy the payroll
tax cut was extended into 2012,
but disappointed and frustrated
by the outcome of the battle be-
tween House Republicans and
President Obama and Senate
Democrats.
While I am pleased that hard-
workingAmericans will havethis
tax cut extendedfor two months,
Im incredibly disappointed that
neither President Obama nor
Senate Democrats were willing
to meet us halfway and negotiate
a deal that would have extended
the payroll tax cut for a full year,
Barletta said Friday via email af-
ter the two-month extension was
approved by voice vote in largely
empty House and Senate cham-
bers.
Barletta, like most House Re-
publicans, didnt want to approve
the two-month extension passed
bythe Senate 89-10onDec. 17be-
fore senators left town for the
year.
The House GOP wanted the
Senate to reconvene and nego-
tiate a full one-year extension of
the tax cut, as well as long-term
unemployment benefits that also
were set to expire Dec. 31.
Obama and the Democrats
whocontrol theSenaterefusedto
come back, and forced the House
to approve the two-month exten-
sionwiththe promise that House
and Senate negotiators would
then work out a one-year exten-
sion acceptable to both sides.
Among those in charge of
working out a deal for a one-year
extension is U.S. Sen. Bob Casey,
D-Scranton. Casey was a lead au-
thor of a one-year extension
blocked by Republicans that pro-
posed to pay for the extension in
large part witha surcharge onthe
income taxes paid by million-
aires.
SenateMajorityHarryReid, D-
Nev., has appointed Casey to
serve on a House-Senate confer-
ence committee charged with ne-
gotiating a one-year extension
and how to pay for it without in-
creasing the deficit.
Casey said in a statement Fri-
day that, I look forward to work-
ing with Democrats and Republi-
cans on an agreement that is in
the best interest of Pennsylvania
and the American people."
But Casey said the two-month
extension was a victory, not a
source of frustration, that allows
more time to pass a one-year ex-
tension of both the tax cut and
long-term unemployment bene-
fits.
At a time when almost
500,000 Pennsylvanians are out
of work, I am grateful for the op-
portunity tocontinue my workto
reach a bipartisan compromise
that protects working families
and provides more take-home
pay for 160 million Americans by
ensuring a full year extension of
the payroll tax cut, Casey said.
But Barletta said that he re-
mains incrediblyfrustratedthat,
once again, politicians in Wash-
ington played political games
right up to the last possible min-
ute. Rather than put aside their
differences and work for the
American people, politicians in
Washington put their own selfish
political interests first, Barletta
added.
Not responding Friday to
messages asking about the deal
were Rep. Tom Marino, R-Ly-
coming Township, and Rep. Tim
Holden, D-St. Clair. Thenewcon-
gressional districts drawn by
Pennsylvania Republicans will
take Wilkes-Barre, Scranton and
Pittston cities out of Barlettas
11th District and place them in
Holdens 17th District.
The new boundaries are effec-
tive next year for the primaries
and the general election, with
elected lawmakers representing
the redrawn districts beginning
in 2013 for at least the next dec-
ade.
In payroll tax fight, Barletta and Casey look ahead
The two-month extension of
the cut is far from the final
word, top officials say.

a two-month extension.
LaBarre stoodina full Santa suit
on Public Square waving to pas-
sers-bywhilewaitingfor afare. The
2percent increase inhis take-home
pay wouldnt have been easy to
spot, he added, because, Were
paid mostly on commission, var-
ying the amount he earns week to
week.
Still, he said, the tax break is a
good thing in such tough times.
I havent noticed it, Doreen
Evanko said as she toted a bag of
doughnuts past Luzerne Bank.
Evenso, anythingis a help, evenif
its only a buck.
And what was she spending her
extra doughon? Evanko shrugged,
then held up a bag from Dunkin
Donutsandlaughed. Doughnuts!
In pushing for an extension of
the cut in payroll taxes dropping
theamount withheldtofundSocial
Security from 6.2 percent to 4.2
percent proponents have been
claiming it represents about $1,000
a year to the average person earn-
ing $50,000 annually.
But in Luzerne County the boon
is smaller for most people. With a
median household income of
$39,984 in the county, the average
annual gain in take-home pay
would be about $800. Thats less
than $16 a week.
Mark Riccetti Jr. conceded it is a
small fraction in his pay, but that
its still noticeable. What has he
been spending it on? Paying stu-
dent loans, he said, chuckling.
And if gridlock prevents Con-
gress from extending the cut be-
yond February and to the end of
2012, howwill the loss of the mon-
ey impact Riccetti? Theyre stupid
but not that stupid. Well cross that
bridge when we come to it.
Economic policy
The payroll tax cut is smart eco-
nomic policy, according to Univer-
sity of Scranton economics Profes-
sor Satyajit Ghosh. The economy
has beengraduallyimprovingwith-
out substantial job creation, and
one way to get more companies to
hire is toincrease consumer spend-
ing something the payroll tax
tends to do, particularly with peo-
ple on the lower end of the pay
scale.
Wealthy people already have
their costs covered and are more
likelytosaveanyincreasedpay. For
those without a comfortable finan-
cial cushion, the 2 percent means
they may be able to do some
spending that he or she could not
have done.
Their first reactionis nowI can
afford to buy this thing I was put-
ting off.
Extending the cut for one or two
more years would make more
sense than the two months barely
approvedbyCongress, Ghoshsaid.
Businesses do not operate on two-
monthbudgets infact, theyremit
thewithheldtaxtothegovernment
every three months.
But our federal government is
not a business, and Congress has
done remarkably strange things
over the years, he said.
Even so, the two-month exten-
sion saves people from dealing
withthat bumpupintheir taxes at
a time they are spending, thanks to
the holidays.
The tax cut does have the poten-
tial effect of decreasing the money
being put into Social Security,
Ghoshsaid. But theSocial Security
trust fund is not in any imminent
danger of falling short in meeting
obligations.
Wedont haveanimmediateSo-
cial Security payment crisis the
waywe have animmediate crisis in
job creation that is directly linked
to lack of spending on the part of
consumers.
Questions unanswered
University of Scranton political
science Professor William Parente
said the compromise to extend the
cuts for two months being
workedout evenas hespokeFriday
leaves more questions that need
to be answered when Congress re-
turns to the issue. In particular, he
wondered if Congress would put a
limit on how much a person can
earn and still get the payroll tax
break.
I happen to be making six fig-
ures, I was mildly worried whether
I will be excluded from the 2 per-
cent tax cut.
Wilkes University political sci-
ence Professor Tom Baldino said
the battle likely hurt Republicans.
The way this played out really
does make the House Republicans
look completely indifferent to the
public.
House Speaker John Boehner in
particular could suffer, having
seemingly supported a Senate
compromise before hardliners in
his own party pushed him away
from it this week, only to come
back and pass the compromise Fri-
day. Boehner now looks like hes
anineffective speaker. Andpast Re-
publican speakers who were inef-
fective were ousted.
As to the value of the tax break
itself, Baldinonotedcosts for must-
haves such as health insurance and
gasoline have been rising sharply,
while wages have stayed flat for
most people, sothe taxcut, howev-
er modest, helps.
Post office employee George Ge-
orge agreed, even though he does
not pay into Social Security be-
cause, when he was hired, the law
put retirement funding for postal
workers under a different category.
Money withheld from his checks
for retirement goes into a different
fund.
With jingle bells jangling from
his belt and a Santa hat and beard
hiding his face, George said the tax
break is a good idea, and pointed
across South Main Street to cus-
tomers heading into or out of Bos-
covs Department Sore.
Look at those people, he said,
they are using that money to buy
Christmas presents.

The measure also provides for an ex-
pedited review of the Keystone XL pipe-
line. The 1,700-mile project would bring
oil from oil sands in western Canada to
the U.S. Gulf Coast. Obama wanted to
delay the decisionuntil late 2013after
Novembers elections as environmen-
talists hold strong reservations. Repub-
licans insisted on including the pipeline
decision.
Obama signed the bill into law on Fri-
day andpraisedCongress. He thenhead-
ed to Hawaii for the Christmas-New
Years holiday, a trip he had planned to
begin Dec. 17. His wife and children
went to Hawaii last week.
"Because of this agreement, every
working America will keep their tax
cut," Obama said. "When Congress re-
turns, I urge themto keep working with-
out drama, without delay, to reach an
agreement that extends this tax cut as
well as unemployment insurance
through all of 2012."
There are three major areas of dis-
agreement:
Paying for the breaks. Democrats,
including Obama, wanted a surtax on
millionaires. The Senate, on largely par-
ty-line votes, rejected that idea. House
Republicans countered with a series of
proposals that Democrats found unpal-
atable, including a federal pay freeze.
The current two-month package, cost-
ing an estimated $33 billion, will be
funded by raising fees levied by mort-
gage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac. But just preservingthe Social Secu-
rity taxbreakalone for a year will cost an
estimated $112 billion.
Revamping the unemployment ben-
efits system. House Republicans want to
reduce the maximum number of benefit
weeks to 59 and make other changes.
Democrats have resisted.
Protecting the Social Security trust
fund. Another year of payroll tax breaks
means less revenue for the trust fund, a
serious concernfor manyinbothparties.
Supporters of the tax break insist theres
no risk to the fund because the Treasury
will make up lost revenue.

NEW YORK Comebacks are
the rage in the NFL.
We dont mean overcoming
large deficits to win games, al-
though in 2011 thats happening
plenty, too. Players who disap-
peared from the headlines, from
lineups, from the league entirely
those comebacks are especially
impressive.
Talk about quarterbacks (Alex
Smith, Tony Romo, Matt Hassel-
beck) or kickers (Mike Nugent),
tight ends (Jermichael Finley) or
wideouts (Plaxico Burress, Steve
Smith), defensive ends (Elvis
Dumervil) or linebackers (DeMe-
co Ryans) or backs (Carlos Rog-
ers), comebacks are in style.
Finley had the most successful
layoff. He missed the
final 11 games last sea-
son with a right knee
injury, so he sat and
watched his teammates
win the Super Bowl,
easing the, uh, pain, but
making him even more eager to
get back on the field.
For much of this season, in
which Green Bay is 13-1, the
speedy, powerful Finley has been
unstoppable, although a case of
the drops hit him recently.
Finley has 45 catches, averaging
15.2 yards, and six touchdowns.
The most difficult hiatus was
spent by Burress, who was in
prison for 20 months for acciden-
tally shooting himself in a
Manhattan nightclub. He
signed with the Jets as a
free agent once the lockout
ended, and his impact has
been solid, if not spectac-
ular.
New York leads the league in
red-zone touchdown efficiency
with 32 in 47 trips, a huge im-
provement over the previous sea-
son. Burress has eight TD catches

WASHINGTON Nationals general manag-
er Mike Rizzo has kept his eye on Gio Gonzalez
for thelast decadeor so. Now, theleft-hander is a
member of Rizzos starting ro-
tation.
Capping trade talks that be-
gan about a month ago, the
Athletics and Nationals com-
pleted a six-player swap Friday
that sends Gonzalez fromOak-
land to Washington, where he
joins a promisingpitchingstaff
that already included right-
handers Stephen Strasburg and Jordan Zimmer-
mann.
Ive knownhimsince he was inhighschool in
the Miami area. This is a guyI followedfor years.
I really like the way he competes, Rizzo said on
a conference call. I call him, in a good way, a
sore loser.

NEW YORK Henrik
Lundqvist made 28 saves in his

kie defenseman Stu Bickel had
two more assists for the New
York Rangers,
who beat the
Flyers 4-2 and
moved into
first place in
the Atlantic
Division on
Friday night.
Bickel, in
his third NHL
game, helped
set up goals
by Derek Ste-
pan and Rus-
lan Fedotenko
in the second
period. Hehas
four assists
since being re-
called from
the AHL, hitting the score
sheet in every game.
Marian Gaborik added his
league-leading 21st goal early
in the third period and Ryan
Callahan also scored for the
Rangers (21-8-4), who jumped
over the Flyers (21-9-4) in the
Atlantic with their fourth
straight win including three
in four days over divisional
foes.

PITTSBURGH The
choice is never really much of a
choice for Ben Roethlisberger.
Given the option to play or rest his
badly sprained left ankle today against
struggling St. Louis, the Pittsburgh
Steelers quarterback would rather
take the field regardless of the pain or the
risk.
Im in the here and now, Roethlis-
berger said. Thats where we are coach-
es and players and a team.
Then again, Roethlisberger allowed,
its never his call.
Thats a coachs decision, as al-
ways, he said.
And coach Mike Tomlin decided
to go with veteran backup Charlie
Batch.
A playoff spot
already clinched,
the Steelers (10-4)
will try to keep
their hopes for an
AFC North title
alive with Batch,
who is 4-2 as a
spot starter over
the last six sea-
sons.
Yet they allow
theyll approach
the game differ-
ently if Batch is
under center. Of-
fensive coordina-
tor Bruce Arians
typically comes
up with two game plans, one for
Roethlisberger and another for the
37-year-old Batch, just in case

S P O R T S
Rich Hall brought the Electric
City Chargers to newlevels in his
first season as head coach.
Hall is already aiming higher.
Next year, I intend to have my
team getting ready for Florida in
January, said Hall, a Wilkes-
Barre resident.
The Chargers, who played
their home games at Greater
Nanticoke Area High School, fell
one game short of that accom-
plishment this season. They won
the Regional American Football
League title but lost a rematch of
the RAFLfinal in the Metro Bowl
to fall one game short of the Unit-
ed States Football Alliance cham-
pionships in Florida.
Hall, formerly the teams de-
fensive coordinator, guided Elec-
tric City to a 14-1 season, includ-
ing a perfect regular season in
which the defensive unit allowed
just five touchdowns.
Former Lackawanna Collegeli-
nebacker Roy Glenn Jr. was the
teams leading tackler and part of
a three-manlinebacker corps that
combinedfor morethan200tack-
les.
Glenn joined Leon Black and
Thomas McFarland at lineback-
er.
Black is fromBishop McDevitt
in Harrisburg where, in addition
to playing linebacker, was the
fullback and lead blocker for cur-
rent Philadelphia Eagles stand-
out LeSean McCoy.
Brothers Tim and Thomas
McFarland helped lead the team
on each side of the ball.
Tim McFarland, a former Col-
gate quarterback, threwfor more
than 3,400 yards with 35 touch-
downs and just seven intercep-
tions. Thomas McFarland, a two-
time PSAC all-star at Blooms-
burg University, had 70 tackles, 7
sacks and two interceptions.
The Chargers beat the Preda-
tors, 18-16, in the RAFL final and
lost to them, 14-13, Dec. 17 at
Wilkes University.
The season went great, said
Hall, who was an assistant with
the NEPA Miners before moving
to the Chargers. It went better
than expected.
Our defense was the best Ive
ever put on the field.
Bryan Hooks, a Coughlin grad-
uate, ledthe teamwithfour inter-
ceptions.
Arotation of eight defensive li-
nemen helped keep pressure on
upfront. Former WyomingValley
West player Eyad Elbattah was
part of that rotation.
Damon Saxon, Kings all-time
leading rusher, led the Chargers
in rushing.
A versatile group of receivers
including team touchdown lead-
er Earl Chaptman, an assistant
coach at Wilkes, and Quinn
Buckner, a former GAR standout
Hall led Chargers to
successful campaign
Wilkes-Barre resident helped
Electric City to 14-1 record in
first season as head coach.
By TOMROBINSON
For Go Lackawanna
Oakland gets four players in
the deal: catcher Derek Norris,
right-handers A.J. Cole and Brad
Peacock, and left-hander Tom-
my Milone. The Nationals also
received minor league right-
hander Robert Gilliam, who
went 12-7 with a 5.04 ERA and
156 strikeouts for Class-A Van-
couver this year.
The 26-year-old Gonzalez
went16-12last seasonacareer
high for wins with a 3.12 ERA
in 32 starts and was selected to
his first All-Star game. He has re-
ached 200 innings the past two
seasons.
He brings a presence in our
rotation. Hes had success. Hes
been a workhorse. Hes very, ve-
ry young, Rizzo said. Gives us
a young core of starting pitchers
at the major league level that re-
ally is in the realm of something
weve never had here before.
ESPN.com first reported the
agreement Thursday andGonza-
lez confirmed to The Associated
Press that the deal was in place,
pending a physical.
Gonzalez will be slotted be-
tween Strasburg and Zimmer-
mann, two hard throwers who
have come back from recon-
structive elbow surgery and are
considered cornerstones of the
Nationals attempt to finally be-
come contenders. After finishing
last in the NL East in three con-
secutive seasons, Washington
went 80-81 and wound up in
third place in 2011.
We think that were vastly im-
proved over last year, Rizzo
said.
At seasons end, the GMmade
clear his top priorities this off-
season were adding a top-line
starting pitcher and an outfiel-
der. The Nationals are still in the
market for a long-term, perma-
nent fit in center field, Rizzo
said.
After failing to land free-agent
pitcher Mark Buehrle, who
signed with the Miami Marlins,
the Nationals steppedup our ef-
forts to improve their rotation,
Rizzo said, which led to trade
talks with the As.
Oakland general manager Bil-
ly Beane is in rebuilding mode,
stockpiling talent in the farm
system. The As went 74-88 last
season and havent posted a win-
ning record or earned a playoff
berth since 2006.

out warningwhenhewas tackled
during a scrimmage on Sept. 3.
He suffered a severe knee injury
and a severed artery and part of
his right leghadtobeamputated.
Now its his courage that has
people taking notice.
Saban has sent Rainey a Crim-
son Tide jersey with his name
and number on it, along with a
note encouraging him to keep
fighting. Matthews sent him an
autographed jersey and Tebow
will meet him this weekend.
The Denver quarterbacks
foundation is flying Rainey and
his family to Buffalo this week-
end to hang out with me before
and after the Broncos-Bills
game, Tebow said. The founda-
tion has brought a child and his
family to every Broncos game
this season.
What an amazing kid and
what an amazing outlook that he
has, Tebow said of the 6-foot-3,
215-pound Rainey, whose play-
ing style was frequently com-
pared to Tebow. Imso proud to
have the opportunity to spend
time with him and his family.
Were very excited about that.
With football gone, Rainey
isnt sure whats next but he
knows what isnt: Moping
around.
I dont knowwhy me, he said
in a telephone interview with
The AssociatedPress. Ive never
reallyaskedmyself that question.
I think that would just make me
feel sorry for myself, and thats
the last thing I want to do.
Aweek after he sufferedthe in-
jury and after several surger-
ies part of Raineys right leg
was amputated on Sept. 10.
His highschool teammates say
they were worried, until they
talked to Rainey.
I think talking to himright af-
ter surgerywas whenI reallyreal-
izedthat everythingwas goingto
be ok because he was still joking
and cutting up and kind of mak-
ing everyone realize that he was
still the same person, said Nath-
anRipper, one of Raineys closest
friends on the team.
Raineyreturnedtoschool after
Thanksgiving break having mis-
sed the entire first trimester, and
said putting others at ease about
his situation seems like the right
approach to take.
I feel like if I was in their
shoes, Id feel awkward about it
and stuff, like talking about it, so
I kind of joke about it, Rainey
said. I mean, it is what it is. I
cant change anything. Theres
no point (complaining) about it,
so I think it makes everyone
morecomfortableabout it if I just
joke about it like its alright.
Thats how its always been.
Seeing his friend adapt has
made Ripper realize that things
will only get better.
Hes the last person I ever
would have wanted this to hap-
pento, but if I hadtopickoneper-
son that I know could get
through it, it would be him just
because hes going to work hard
to do rehab, work hard to get
used to whatever has changed,
he said, noting that he and Rain-
ey spent a good deal of time to-
gether over thesummer, working
to get ready for the football sea-
son.
Rainey had4.6 speedinthe 40,
and a cannon for an arm, Rip-
per said. Rainey was on the
recruiting radar of several major
schools, and this season was go-
ing to be important. He had
drawn the attention of college
recruiters, who were likely going
to watch him closer this season
to determine if he was a BCS-lev-
el prospect.

PITTSBURGH Latif Riv-
ers scored all 18 of his points in
the second half including six
critical free throws in the final
minute to lead Wagner to a
stunning 59-54 victory over No.
15 Pittsburgh on Friday night.
Kenneth Ortiz had 12 points
and Tyler Murray added 10 for
the Seahawks (8-3), who won
their first game over a ranked
opponent since knocking off
then-15th-ranked Alabama on
Nov. 24, 1978.
Pitt (11-2) saw its nine-game
winning streak snapped in
emphatic fashion. Ashton Gibbs
scored 14 points for the Pan-
thers, who turned it over 18
times while losing to a North-
eastern Conference opponent
for the first time ever.
The Panthers came in 70-0
all-time against NEC foes, but
struggled against Wagners
pressure and never led over the
games final 33 minutes.

Western Kentucky 60
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Russ
Smith scored 23 points and No.
4 Louisville overcame a sleepy
start and rallied from an 8-point
deficit in the second half to beat
Western Kentucky.
Gorgui Dieng had 13 points
and 15 rebounds his fifth
straight double-double for
the Cardinals (12-0) who re-
mained one of the nations six
unbeaten Division I teams. Kyle
Kuric added 15 points, 12 com-
ing in the first half.
Derrick Gordon and Jamal
Crook had 13 points each for
the Hilltoppers (4-9).
Trailing 50-47 following a

remaining, Louisville reeled off
14 straight points, half from
Smith. Western Kentucky went
scoreless until Crooks layup
made it 61-52 with 2:21 to play.
That started a 7-0 run as Nigel
Snipes 3-pointer from the right
corner made it 61-57 at the 1:14
mark. Western Kentucky would
draw no closer as Louisville
scored its last nine points on
free throws.
No. 13 Wisconsin 79,
Mississippi Valley St. 45
MADISON, Wis. Jordan
Taylor scored 17 points to lead
Wisconsin to the victory in the
Badgers final game before Big
Ten play begins.
Playing for the first time in
more than a week, the Badgers
(11-2) showed no signs of rust,
taking a 20-4 lead in the games
first 8 minutes.
The Delta Devils (1-10) were
able to cut the lead to 11 points
twice in the first half and
showed signs they might make
it a game. But foul trouble and
Wisconsins free throw shooting
eventually wore them down.
Jared Berggren scored 15
points and Josh Gasser added

ARLINGTON, Texas Almost
completelyout of characterforJer-
ry Jones, the Cowboys owner has
publicly expressed fear about fac-
ing Philadelphia again after what
happened earlier this season.
Dallas(8-6)istheonlyteamthat
doesnt need help to win the NFC
East, andtheoutcomeof thegame
may end up having no effect at all
on who does.
Star-studded Philadelphia,
anointedbymanyinthepreseason
as a team with Super Bowl expec-
tations and sure to defend its divi-
sion title, now harbors only long-
shot playoff chances that could be
gone before kickoff at Cowboys
Stadium on the afternoon of
Christmas Eve.
Since the Eagles (6-8) failed to
parlay an impressive 34-7 victory
over Dallas nearlytwomonths ago
into something much more signif-
icant, they would be eliminated
from postseason contention if the
NewYork Giants beat the Jets ear-
lier in the day.
I dont worry about it, Eagles
coachAndyReidsaid. If youlet all
that other garbage get in the way,
then you dont go through the
process of preparing for the Dallas
Cowboys. ... And if you worry
about all that other stuff, that
doesnt help you. You cant control
that.
Despite any possible anxiety by
Jones, who later characterized his
feelings as an exciting time that
carries with it all the emotion of
whats at stake for us, there is an-
other strange twist if the Giants
(7-7) win.
Not only wouldthe Eagles play-
off hopes be officially dashed, like-
lychangingtheir entiredemeanor,
theoutcomeof thegamefor Dallas
wouldbe renderedmeaningless in
determining the NFC East title.
The division champion would
then be the winner of the regular-
season finale between the Cow-
boys and Giants.
Were focused on playing our
best game against Philadelphia,
and we wont really get emotional-
ly involved in that (Giants-Jets)
game, Cowboys coach Jason Gar-
rett said.
Plus, if the Giants lose to the
Jets, who lost 45-19 to Philadel-
phia last week, Dallas would have
theopportunitytowrapupits18th
NFC East title before the home
fans instead of having to worry
about what happens New Years
Day at MetLife Stadium.
So there could be a lot of score-
board watching for both sides dur-
ing pregame warm-ups at Cow-
boys Stadium, when the Giants
and Jets will be playing their
game.
Or maybe not.
We dont think anything other
than just playing these guys this
week. Its literally nothing less or
morethanthat, Cowboysquarter-
back Tony Romo said. Were out
here to beat the Eagles. Thats all
we can control.
Eagles quarterback Michael
Vickfigures hewill at least havean
eye on the Giants-Jets score.
But you try to stay away from
watching it, Vick said. You cant
get too wrapped up in it.

U P N E X T
Roethlisberger cant play.
Today, its time for Plan B.
Though he lacks Roethlis-
bergers big-time arm, Batch can
still get it done. He went 1-1 last
season while filling in as Roeth-
lisberger served a four-game
suspension for violating the
leagues personal conduct poli-
cy.
We can still make big plays
with (Batch), wide receiver
Mike Wallace said. But instead
of catching the ball 50 yards
down the field, maybe we do it
15 yards down the field and do
stuff after the catch.
And with Roethlisbergers an-
kle limiting his ability to get out
of the pocket, Batch gives the
Steelers more flexibility in play-
calling.
Though he passed for 330
yards in a 20-3 loss to San Fran-
cisco, Roethlisberger acknowl-
edged the 49ers quickly figured
out what was coming depending
on how the team lined up. If he
was under center, it was a run. If
he was in the shotgun, he was
going to sling it.
I honestly think thats prob-
ably why they deferred when
they won the toss, Roethlis-
berger said. They were going to
come after me.
St. Louis certainly figured to
do the same with defensive end
Chris Long and his 13 sacks
leading the way. Instead Long
will chase down Batch or third
quarterback Dennis Dixon.
(Batch and Dixon) are cer-
tainly more mobile, St. Louis
defensive coordinator Ken Fla-
jole said. They have a little bit
more scrambling ability. Ben
does a great job of getting away
frompressure, but that ankle Im
sure has been a problem for
him.
Roethlisberger doesnt neces-
sarily agree. Despite throwing
the ball 44 times in San Francis-
co and taking a handful of shots
in the process, the two-time Su-
per Bowl winner wanted to play
against the Rams even if he was
five percent even if it adverse-
ly affected his teams postseason
chances.
I dont go out there worrying
about playing with an injury, he
said. I dont go out there worry-
ing about getting hurt worse.
Nowhe wont have to, making
this afternoons game a battle of
the backups.
St. Louis quarterback Sam
Bradford, didnt practice this
week and appears likely to miss
his fifth game of the season with
a sprained ankle of his own.
STEELERS
and has become Mark Sanchezs
go-toreceiver near the endzone.
Personally, I just thinkI need-
eda freshstart, Burress said. If
I wanted to go somewhere and
get more money, I couldve went
to a couple more places and
signed a two- or three-year deal,
different things like that. I just
wanted to put myself in a situa-
tion to go somewhere fresh and
have an opportunity to play for a
great organization and for a
great head coach in Rex (Ryan)
and a great team.
I feel that Im in the right
place.
Steve Smith feels that way
once again about Carolina, in
great part thanks tothe arrival of
top overall draft pick Cam New-
ton. Smith was coming off a
down year in which Carolina
was the leagues worst team,
with no quarterbacks who could
get him the ball. It was a miser-
able situation, and Smith has
been known to blow a fuse.
Then Newton showed up, and
Smith was revitalized.
Smith now is over 10,000
yards receiving for his career.
You know, it doesnt matter
how many articles are written
about me about howIma bad
character guy, or erratic or
moody no matter how many
negative things are written, the
power of public opinion doesnt
win on this one, Smith said.
This is a stat that Ive earned,
with the help of a lot of other
people, that cant be taken away.
Its a milestone that I would
say really counts. It really mat-
ters.
One thing that really has mat-
tered for Denver has been the re-
turn of Dumervil. He missed the
entire 2010 season with a torn
chest muscle suffered in the pre-
season. The previous year, his17
sacks led the league.
It took a while this year for
Dumervil to get back to his old
form. Aleft shoulder injury ham-
pered him, but as the Broncos
began their surge to the top of
the AFC West, Dumervil was
one of the leaders.
Sometimes you just have to
get your body right, man, he
said. Thats been the biggest is-
sue for me.
At issue for 49ers QB Alex
Smith has been, well, every-
thing. Hes played for seven co-
ordinators in his seven pro sea-
sons, stymieing any chance for
growth in one season.
This year, under new coach
Jim Harbaugh, who immediate-
ly displayed his faith in the 2005
overall No. 1 draft pick, Smith
has flourished and the Niners
won the NFC West their first
playoff berth since 2002.
He wants to be successful
and learn as much as he possibly
can about this game and try to
find ways to help this team get
better down the road, tight end
Vernon Davis said. Imall for it.
Im a big supporter.
Bengals kicker Nugent
couldnt be sure how much sup-
port he had in Cincinnati as he
returned from a major injury to
his right knee suffered in mid-
November 2010. His accuracy
on field goals erased any doubts,
and hes been the leagues most
pinpoint kicker, 27 for 29 thus
far.
It was tough because when
youtear your ACL, youlose your
quad (muscles), which is the
first thing that stops doing any-
thing, Nugent said. Its basical-
ly the whole offseason getting
your quad back to where it was
before. It was tough at times be-
cause I felt like I was a level be-
hind everyone else.
Not any longer.
Others who have made im-
pressive comebacks this year in-
clude quarterbacks Romoof Dal-
las, Hasselbeck of Tennessee,
and Matthew Stafford of De-
troit; 49ers CB Rogers; lineback-
ers Ryans and Connor Barwin of
Houston, DQwell Jackson of
Cleveland, and Nick Barnett of
Dallas; and two running backs
who have been sensational re-
cently, Marshawn Lynch of Seat-
tle and Reggie Bush of Miami.
It definitely means a lot,
Bush said of becoming the de-
pendable, every-down back he
wants to be. It means that Im
doingeverythingthat I expected
I was going to be doing. This
isnt so much me being sur-
prised this happened. Its more
the fact this is something I ex-
pected.
Even if not a lot of others did,
which makes a comeback even
more special.
COMEBACK
truckloadof moneyannuallyinen-
dorsements. Theyre both among
theleaguesbest scorers, perennial
All-Stars, among the most recog-
nizable athletes in the world.
Whats often forgotten is the ties
that really bind, like both having
difficult times as kids, relying on
one parent at a time and soon un-
derstanding that basketball was
the vehicle for changing their
lives.
James is 6-foot-8, Wade is 6-
foot-4. James is fromAkron, Wade
from Chicago. James loves tat-
toos, Wade doesnt have any.
James went to the NBA straight
out of high school, Wade went to
college first.
Nonetheless, Wade and James
basicallylookat eachother as mir-
ror images.
That had a lot to do with me
coming down here, James said.
Theres nothing that Ive seen
that he hasnt seen, andvice versa.
To be able to be alongside him, be
with him every day and basically
go throughthe same things onthe
court and off the court, its great.
Sometimes youre able to sit back
andseethings fromadifferent per-
spective instead of everybody
watching you.
They take their cues from each
other, whether it is fashion, work-
out regimens or just where to sit
sometimes. For Fridays post-prac-
tice interview, Wade slid his body
down a wall in a roomadjacent to
the Heat training facility, slump-
ing to the floor.
Tired, Wade said.
Two minutes later, James en-
tered the room. Even though he
didnt see howWade tookhis seat,
he did the same thing, putting his
back to the wall and sliding to the
red carpet.
Tired, James said.
Maybe its more than a coinci-
dence.
Whats the saying? Iron sharp-
ens iron. Greatness breeds great-
ness, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra
said. So you see an example of
that next to you. Those guys want
to be challenged. Those guys like
to be challenged. They do not ac-
cept the success that theyve had
and where they are right now.
Theyre always trying to push to
gotothe next level. Andtheres no
better wayfor themtodothat than
tohaveanequal peernext tothem,
pushing them.
The biggest question when
Wade, James and Chris Bosh
teamed up in July 2010 was will it
work?
There have been bumps in the
road, and likely there will be a few
more but they are making it
work.
James finished second in the
league in scoring, Wade finished
fourth. Since 1965, the only other
time two teammates were among
the NBAs top four scorers, and
played for a teamthat went to the
NBA finals was 2001, when Kobe
Bryant andShaquille ONeal didit
for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Of course, Bryant and ONeal
wonthetitle; Dallas beat Miami in
last seasons finals. AndJames and
Wade will get yet another remind-
er of that defeat Sunday when the
Heat opentheir seasonagainst the
Mavericks and watch the new
champs raise their title banner.

Kovalchuk had a goal and an
assist in regulation and Alex-
ander Urbom and Adam Hen-

Jason Chimera scored twice
and Brooks Laich once for the

Kovalchuk scored on a wrist

Maple Leafs 5, Islanders 3
UNIONDALE, N.Y. Clar-
ke MacArthur scored a goal
and added an assist, and
James Reimer stopped 30
shots to lead the Toronto Ma-
ple Leafs to a 5-3 victory over
the New York Islanders on
Friday night.
Nazem Kadri, Carl Gunnars-
son, Joey Crabb and Joffrey
Lupul also had goals for the
Maple Leafs, who head into
the leagues Christmas break
with two straight wins.
Bruins 8, Panthers 0
BOSTON Brad Marchand
had his first career hat trick
and a career-high five points to
help Boston beat the Florida
Panthers 8-0 on Friday night,
giving the Bruins their sixth
consecutive victory and their
most lopsided of the season.
Marchand scored a short-
handed goal to start things off,
then added two more and a
pair of assists to lead the de-
fending Stanley Cup cham-
pions to their 20th win in 23
games. After his third goal,
midway through the third
period to make it 8-0, fans
showered the ice with all kinds
of headwear, including a fair
number of Santa hats.
Hurricanes 2, Senators 1, OT
RALEIGH, N.C. Tuomo
Ruutu tipped in Jay Harrisons
slap shot in overtime, lifting
the Carolina Hurricanes past
the Ottawa Senators 2-1 on
Friday night.
Cam Ward made 22 saves
for Carolina, which won its
first overtime game of the
season. The Hurricanes out-
shot the Senators 38-23, in-
cluding 29-14 through the first
two periods.
Carolina dominated the
early play but couldnt get
much past Craig Anderson,
who stopped 36 shots for Otta-
wa. The Hurricanes had a
5-on-3 power play for 1:52 just
past the midway point of the
first period, but Anderson
saved all their chances.
Andreas Nodl scored for
Carolina less than 3 minutes in
off the skate of an Ottawa
defenseman. Nodls goal was
his second of the season
both coming in the last two
games.

New Jersey Devils Alexander Urbom celebrates his goal dur-
ing the second period of Fridays game against the Capitals.
Fans chanted, First Place!
as the final minutes ticked
down.
The Flyers own the NHLs
best road record this season
(13-4-2), but you wouldnt
know it from their two trips to
Madison Square Garden,
where they have scored only
two goals. The Rangers beat
them 2-0 on Nov. 26 behind
Lundqvists 29-saves.
Andrej Meszaros spoiled
Lundqvists bid for another
shutout when he scored a pow-
er-play goal with 9:39 left, and
James van Riemsdyk made it
4-2 with 2:10 to go.
Philadelphia was hampered
this time without center Danny
Briere, who missed the game
because of an injury to his right
ring finger, sustained in
Wednesday nights 4-1 win at
Dallas. The Flyers, who en-
tered with a league-high 116
goals and 3.52 per game, are 1-
2-1 since a seven-game winning
streak.
Ilya Bryzgalov made 20 saves
in the loss.
The Flyers next chance to
knock off the Rangers will
come on Jan. 2 in the outdoor
Winter Classic in Philadelphia.
The Rangers broke the score-
less deadlock with the first of
their two deflected goals in the
second period.
Stepan made it 1-0 at 10:18
when he got the blade of his
stick on a right-point drive by
Bickel and squeezed the puck
just inside the right post, past
the surprised Bryzgalov, who
thrust his head up in disbelief.
Bickel struck again 5:12 later
when another shot from the
right point caught the stick of
Fedotenko, surged into the net
off the back bar and bounded
back out. The red light went on
and the Rangers began to cele-
brate, but the goal was waved
off by the officials. At the next
stoppage, a video review deter-
minedthe goal was good. It was
Fedotenkos fifth of the season,
but his first point in 10 games
since he scoredDec. 3at Tampa
Bay.
Gaborik broke free and gave
the Rangers a 3-0 lead 1:48 into
the third. The goal came with a
painful price as he was struck
near his left shoulder by the
stick of Meszaros. No one has
been able to slow him down re-
cently as Gaborikscoredfor the
fourth straight game, with six
goals in the spurt.
Callahan made it 4-1 with
5:56 remaining.

If the Indianapolis Colts blow
the No. 1 pick in next years draft
withtheir astonishingend-of-sea-
sonwinning streak, owner JimIr-
say has all the ammunition he
needs to dismiss coach Jim Cald-
well.
Howdare he rally his troops to
finish with a flourish and blow a
chance at drafting quarterback
Andrew Luck, aka as the next
John Elway?
It was bad enough Caldwells
Colts ran out to a 0-13 mark and
all but clinched the No. 1 pick.
The record alone was enough for
firing consideration. Now this:
After a second straight win, the
Colts (2-13) allowedthe Rams (2-
12) and Vikings (2-12) into the
race tosee whocanlose their way
to the top pick.
Will this turnaround help or
hurt Caldwells job status? Only
Irsay knows for sure.
As if you hadnt guessed by
now, this weeks Pick Six is
coaches on the hot seat Cald-
well excluded (we think hell be
back) as well as already fired
coaches Jack Del Rio, Tony Spa-
rano and Todd Haley.
CHAN GAILEY, BILLS: Has
any team come undone more
than the Bills? After a 5-2 start,
its been all downhill for the boys
from Buffalo. A seven-game los-
ing streak has them out of the
playoffs for the 12th straight sea-
son. On Saturday, Gaileys guys
get a look at TebowTime. Or will
it be Gailey Time?
RAHEEM MORRIS, BUCS:
Yes! TheBucs havebeenas badas
the Bills. After winning10 games
last season, Morris was being
tagged as a cant-miss coach,
about to lead his young team to
the playoffs in 2011 with QB Josh
Freeman at the helm. A 4-2 start
has been wiped out by an eight-
game losing streak and nowMor-
ris status is in jeopardy.
STEVE SPAGNUOLO, RAMS:
Granted, there have beena bunch
of injuries, but so what? A defen-
sive-minded coach has one of the
leagues weakest defenses (21st
overall), and an offense (30th
overall) averaging all of 11.9
points per game under a not-al-
ways-healthy quarterback Sam
Bradford.
LESLIE FRAZIER, VIKINGS:
Doesnt it seem like after every
loss, Frazier says hes not coach-
ing well enough? OK. So why is
he still the coach? Is this season
an audition? Donovan McNabb
didnt work. Neither didanything
else. And, star running back
Adrian Peterson got hurt in the
process. Frazier is likely toget an-
other year, but this season
seemed lost from the start.
ANDY REID, EAGLES: Even if
Philly (6-8) makes the playoffs
(thats howbad the NFCEast is),
it sure appears its time for a new
coach. Yes, Reid has led his team
to nine playoff appearances, six
NFC East titles, five conference
championshipgames andone Su-
per Bowl in his first 12 seasons.
But his dream team was sup-
posed to be much better than
this. It isnt, and maybe this time
the boo birds might have it right.
NORV TURNER, CHAR-
GERS: Dont let this late-season
surge fool you. A rare quick start
for the Chargers deteriorated in-
to a six-game losing streak fol-
lowed by a three-game winning
streak, leaving San Diego a long
shot to make the playoffs. A loss
to the Lions on Saturday could
mean the end of Turner after five
mostly disappointing seasons.

Indianapolis Caldwell may be

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
Rex Ryan set the tone early
in the week with a brash
boast, of course.
His Jets, the coach declared,
havebeenthebest football team
in New York since he came to
town. And he said the facts bear
that out: Two playoff trips com-
pared to none by the Giants.
But, Ryan wants a lot more.
I dont want to be the one
that is not looked at as the best
team in my
own state,
Ryan said.
Theres no
way. I want to
be the best
team, period.
Now, doI have
the courage to
say it? Abso-
lutely.
For the first
time in his
three seasons
as the coachof
the Jets (8-6),
Ryan gets to
play for New
York suprema-
cy when he
and Tom
Coughlins Gi-
ants (7-7)
square off to-
day in a game with plenty of
playoff implications.
Thats the major focus, get-
ting to the postseason, and its
what prompted the normally
tight-lipped Coughlin to say
this about Ryans bravado: Talk
is cheap. Play the game.
Ryan kept going throughout
the week, and players on both
sides took some jabs at each
other. But both sides have in-
sisted they need to win, regard-
less of braggingrights, tostayin
the postseason picture even
if that might not be completely
true. Still, the sense of desper-
ation is clear.
We all understand that its
going to be some good competi-
tion and I mean, just look at the
circumstances of this game,
said Jets wide receiver Plaxico
Burress, a former Giants star.
The loser of that game wont
go to the playoffs; Christmas
Eve, Jets versus the Giants.
This is what New York is all
about. It couldnt be a better set-
ting.
If the Giants beat the Jets and
then Dallas at home next week-
end, theyll win the NFC East
and return to the playoffs for
first time since 2008. But a loss
todayanda Cowboys winwould
make for what Burress predicts
will be a bittersweet Christ-
mas for the Giants.
Its going to be do or die, li-
nebacker Mathias Kiwanuka
said.
Two wins will just about
clinch the Jets a third straight
wild-card appearance under
Ryan the first time the team
would be in the playoffs three
straight years.
It would be huge, no ques-
tion, Ryan said. That would
be a great accomplishment.
Aloss still wouldnt eliminate
them, but they arent even
thinking in those terms.
Its a big one, Jets quarter-
back Mark Sanchez said. We
want to win these next two and
hopefully control our destiny
going into the playoffs, not have
to sit around in a couple weeks
hoping certain teams lose or
not. If we can just win these
next two, then well be OK.
When this matchup was first
announced several months ago,
many thought it could poten-
tially be a preview to a Subway
Super Bowl, something New
York-area fans have dreamed of
for decades. Instead of the
teams being among the elite in
their conferences, theyve been
surprisingly mediocre.

BALTIMORE Given a sec-
ond chance to earn a home play-
off game, the Baltimore Ravens
hope to put a rousing finish on a
topsy-turvy week by defeating
the Cleveland Browns today.
Baltimore clinched a playoff
berth last Sunday afternoon
shortly before taking the field on
the road against the San Diego
Chargers. The Ravens then lost
control of thetopseedintheAFC
with a clunker of a performance
in a 34-14 defeat.
The setback dropped Balti-
more to the fifth-seed position
and put Pittsburgh atop the AFC
North. Just 24hourslater, howev-
er, the Steelers lost to San Fran-
ciscotothrowthe Ravens backin
command of the race for the divi-
sion crown.
And now, Baltimore will finish
a whirlwind seven-day stretch at
home against the Browns (4-10).
If Baltimore wins its final two
games, it will capture the AFC
North, get a first-round bye and
play at home in second round.
Thats a pretty sweet scenario,
given the desperate situation the
Ravens were in after Sunday
nights defeat.
The fact that if we win both
games now, we will win the divi-
sion, that means a lot, coach
John Harbaugh said. Of course,
we have to control what we have
to control. Andthe beauty of that
is we can control a lot.
Running back Ray Rice put it
more succinctly: We dont got to
take our show on the road if we
take care of business.
The last thingthe Ravens need
is to hit the road for the playoffs.
Baltimore reached the postsea-
sonas a wild-cardteamineachof
the previous three seasons, and
although the Ravens went 4-3
overall, on each occasion their
quest to reach the Super Bowl
died on foreign turf.
That path might be even more
difficult to follow this year, be-
cause the Ravens are 7-0 at home
and 3-4 on the road. So beating
Cleveland today and winning at
Cincinnati next Sunday is imper-
ative for Baltimores upcoming
playoff run.
The first order of business is
knocking off the Browns, which
would enable the Ravens to go
unbeaten at home for the first
time in franchise history.
Its going to be a great accom-
plishment if we get it done, Rice
said. The fans get to say, Look,
the Ravens gave us a sight to see
at home this year. But Im sure
they would even appreciate it
more if the playoffs were here as
well.
Its all therefor theRavens. But
what are the Browns playing for?
We have a two-game season
here, coach Pat Shurmur said.
Were lookingtodowhat we can
to try and string a couple victo-
ries here at the end of the sea-
son.

DOHA, Qatar Three weeks
before the Arab Games in Doha,
Qatari sports officials called Na-
da Mohammed Wafa to tell her
she would be competing in the
Middle Easts biggest sporting
event.
Surprised and a bit scared
the 17-year-old swimmer re-
plied: Oh wow! Sure!
Wafa, who had only competed
in school-level events until then,
trained hard to make up for the
short time she hadbefore making
history by becoming the first
woman on Qatars national swim
team.
Its a good feeling, but its also
very lonely, Wafa said. Its just
me, myself and I.
Wafa may be Qatars lone fe-
male swimmer, but she is part of
a group of emerging athletes in
the conservative Muslimcountry
that hopes to send women to the
Olympics for the first time in
London next year.
And if Wafas phone rings in
five months or somebody con-
firms her name is on the list, she
would be delighted to go and
compete.
Id be over the moon, Wafa
said.
Along with Saudi Arabia and
Brunei, Qatar has never sent fe-
male athletes to the Olympics.
Last year, the International
Olympic Committee urged the
three countries to end the prac-
tice of sending all-male teams to
the games, hoping that naming
and shaming would do more for
female athletes than banning
their nations from the Olympics.
While Saudi Arabias plans to
send women to the London
Games remain wrapped in secre-
cy, Qatar is feverishly working to
escape the stigma that comes
with failing to include women.
Over the past decade, the tiny
but rich Gulf country has been
targeting sports as a vehicle to
showcase its global aspirations.
Last year, it became the first Arab
country to win the right to host
the World Cup in 2022. And Qa-
tars bid for the 2020 Olympics
adds the pressure to include
women on the teams in London.
Qatar Olympic Committee
President Sheik Saoud bin Ab-
dulrahman Al Thani said female
athletes have been competing in
international tournaments for
the past three years, including
last years Youth Olympics in Sin-
gapore.
The only reason women were
not included for the 2008 Beijing
Games is because they didnt
qualify in any sport, Sheik Saoud
said. He added that Qatar is talk-
ing to the IOC about sending fe-
male athletes to the games next
year on wild-card invitations.
Thats the thing with the
Olympics. They cant go if they
dont qualify, Sheik Saoud said.
Its not about us being unwilling
to send women to the tourna-
ment. But it takes time toprepare
athletes to compete on the inter-
national level.
It also takes time to change
mindsets in a deeply conserva-
tive society. Qatar follows the
Wahhabi branch of Islam, a strict
version that predominates in
Saudi Arabia.
There are no written laws in
Qatar or Saudi Arabia that
ban and restrict women frompar-
ticipating in sports. Rather, the
stigma of female athletes is root-
ed in conservative traditions and
religious views that hold giving
freedom of movement to women
would make them vulnerable to
sins.
Unlike in Saudi Arabia, where
women are still banned from
driving, muchhas changedinQa-
tar since the country began an
ambitious process of opening up
to the world, largely through
hosting high-profile sporting
events intennis, soccer, andtrack
and field.

HONOLULU As if being
5,500 miles from Hattiesburg and
having Waikiki beach as a back-
yard wasnt enough, Conference
USA champion Southern Missis-
sippi had to deal with even more
distractions.
The22nd-rankedGoldenEagles
(11-2) face Western Athletic Con-
ference runner-up Nevada (7-5) in
the Hawaii Bowl tonight in what
will be the final game under coach
Larry Fedora.
Its going to be tough. Theres a
piece of my heart and soul in this
football team, said Fedora, who is
leaving after four seasons to lead
North Carolina. I deeply care
about each and every one of those
kids. ... But I do know, theyre go-
ing to look back at this season and
say we won however many games,
a conference championship and
we went to Hawaii. Thats what
theyll remember for the rest of
their lives.
Southern Miss won a school-re-
cord11games this season en route
tocapturingits fifthC-USAtitle by
upsetting Houston 49-28 in the
conference championship game
behind Austin Davis four touch-
downpasses. It wastheGoldenEa-
gles first 10-win
season since
1988.
Despite the
record year, Da-
vissaidtheteam
isnt done yet as
Southern Miss
makes its 10th
straight postsea-
son appearance
andis lookingto
snap a two-bowl
losing streak.
I would hate to end it on a bad
note. We want to finish strong and
get No. 12, said Davis, who has
thrown for 3,331 yards and 28
touchdowns this year.
Fedora saidhis teamisnt letting
down after its big win over Hous-
ton.
You can go out and watch prac-
tice and you wouldnt know if it
was Aug. 5, the first day of practice
for us, or if it was the next to the
last practice. Theyre still practic-
ing the same way, he said. They
understandwhat it takes. Theyun-
derstandhowimportant it is. Were
not playing another game. Were
making history at SouthernMiss.
Fedora is being replaced by
South Carolina defensive coordi-
nator EllisJohnson, whowasintro-
duced in Hattiesburg while the
teamwas in Honolulu.
Theres a lot of distractions go-
ing on with this football team and
their future. So that makes it diffi-
cult, Fedora said. The thing is,
Ive got to allow these seniors ...
theyre going to be the ones that
lead us through the distractions. I
expect us to play as we do week in
and week out.
While Southern Miss is making
its first trip here since beating Ha-
waii in1977, Nevada is no stranger
to the islands, or the Hawaii Bowl.
Nevada is making its seventh
straight postseason appearance
and 12th overall. It will be playing
in the Hawaii Bowl for the third
time since 2005. Nevada defeated
Central Florida 49-48 in overtime
in 2005 and lost to SMU 45-10 in
2009.
Weve been here. Its great and
beautiful and we love it here, but
for us, its a business trip, Nevada
defensive tackle Brett Roy said.
We knowwhat were here to do.
Featuring a high-powered of-
fense that ranks fifth in the nation
with 522.8 yards a game and
eighth in rushing (251.8), Nevada
is coming off a roller coaster year
where it started 1-3 and won five
straight before losing to Louisiana
Tech and Utah State, blowing its
chances for a conference title in its
final season in the WAC before
moving to the Mountain West
Conference.
We want to get that bad taste
out of our mouths, said Roy, who
iseighthinthenationinbothsacks
(10) and tackles for loss (18.5). In
order to do that, we have to go
through Southern Miss, which is a
high-caliber team.

BROOKLINE, Mass. For-
mer Boston Bruins coach and
player Mike Milbury will not
face charges after a Massachu-
setts clerk magistrate ruled Fri-
day that theres not enough evi-
dence to criminally charge him
after his confrontation with a12-
year-old youth hockey player.
The decision came after a
closed-door hearing involving
witnesses and police in Brook-
line District Court.
After the hearing, Milbury
said he was pleased with the rul-
ing.
Police sought to have Milbury
charged with assault and bat-
tery, making threats and disor-
derly conduct after the Dec. 9 in-
cident at a public hockey rink in
Brookline. They said Milbury
grabbed, shook andthreateneda
boy who was fighting and jawing
with his 12-year-old son.
Milbury, 59, said he grabbed
the players uniform to stop the
fight, but never assaulted or
threatened the boy.
My family and I are gratified
that the clerk magistrate found
no reason to further investigate
the incident at Larz Anderson
Park two weeks ago when I sep-
arated two 12 year old boys in a
Pee Wee hockey game, one of
whom was my son, he said.

Mixed economic reports
Consumers spent at a lackluster rate
in November as their incomes barely
grew.
Consumer spending rose just 0.1
percent in November, matching the
modest October increase, the Com-
merce Department reported Friday.
Incomes also rose 0.1 percent. That
was the weakest showing since a 0.1
percent decline in August.
Separately, the government said
companies demand for long-lasting
manufactured goods rose by the largest
amount in four months in November,
driven by a jump in orders for planes.
But so-called core capital goods, a
proxy for business investment spend-
ing, dropped for a second straight
month.
Home sales stay weak
Americans bought slightly more new
homes in November, but 2011 will
likely end up as the worst year for sales
in history.
The Commerce Department says
new-home sales rose 1.6 percent last
month to a seasonally adjusted annual
rate of 315,000. Thats less than half the
700,000 new homes that economists
say should be sold to sustain a healthy
housing market.
Its also below the 323,000 homes
sold last year the worst year for
sales on records dating back to 1963.
Nevada OKs online poker
Nevada gambling regulators on
Thursday unanimously approved rules
that allow companies in the state to
apply for licenses to operate poker
websites, a move that puts Nevada in a
position to capitalize if Congress re-
verses its ban on Internet gambling.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal re-
ports that the regulations would let
casino companies operate Internet
poker sites in the state, and some sites
could begin operating by the end of
2012.
Treasury rates rise
Treasury prices fell Friday as a thin-
ly-traded market digested stronger
economic numbers from earlier in the
week.
The price of the benchmark 10-year
Treasury note fell 68.7 cents per $100
invested Friday. Its yield rose to 2.03
percent from1.95 percent Thursday.
Trading was light as markets closed at
2 p.m. ahead of the Christmas holiday.
U.S. markets will be closed Monday.

NEWYORKThegoodnews is that
Wall Street experts think stock prices
will rise more than10 percent next year.
The bad news is that they expected big
gains in 2011 and got nearly zero in-
stead.
Its forecasting time on Wall Street,
and once again the pros are trying to
predict the unpredictable.
In typical times, guessing where
stocks will end up in a year is difficult.
Therearemanyassumptions about eco-
nomic growth, inflation and consumer
spending that go into the calculation.
Now, forecasting has become nearly
impossible. Big unknowns hang over
the market as rarely before. Will the eu-
ro break up? Will China slowtoo sharp-
ly? Will squabbling in Washington scut-
tle the economic recovery?
Normally, you wonder, how will
sales do? How are managements do-
ing? says HowardSilverblatt, senior in-
dexanalyst at Standard&Poors, which
puts out its own forecasts. Now there
are so many high-level issues that affect
the market.
Silverblatts firmsays the S&P500 in-
dex should rise to 1,400 by the end of
2012, up 11 percent from the Fridays
close of 1,265. That figure is an average
of expectations frominvestment strate-
gists, economists and other big think-
ers. More bullish yet are stock analysts
focused on individual companies. Add
up their price targets for each stock in
the index, andtheysee it risingto1,457,
up16 percent.
Theres plenty of reason to think
stocks will rise fast in the coming year.
U.S. companies are generating record
profits. Americans are spending more
than expected and factories are produc-
ing more. The job market finally ap-
pears to be healing, too.
The odds of the U.S. slipping into an-
other recession have fallen since the
summer, when the economy had
slowed.

Pros: Stocks to rise
Economic experts are forecasting
big gains on Wall Street for 2012,

CLARKS SUMMIT A day after an-
nouncing a $750 million deal to sell La-
ser Northeast Gathering to pipeline gi-
ant Williams Partners, Thomas Karam
said hes looking for other ways to profit
from the Marcellus Shale gas boom.
I think there are going to be many op-
portunities for investment, saidKaram,
CEO of Laser parent Delphi Midstream
Partners, on Friday.
Karam and others formed Delphi in
mid-2009 and acquired Laser in July
2010. At the time, All it had were a cou-
pleof contacts andafeweasements, Ka-
ram said. After acquiring more ease-
ments and contracts with drillers that
needed to move gas to market, Delphi
built the first part of what Karam de-
scribed as a three-
phase project.
In October, we be-
gan to flow gas to the
Millennium interstate
gas pipeline inBroome
County, New York.
The current 33
miles of pipeline will
expand to about 75
miles, Karam said, re-
aching into northern
Wyoming County and
linking the large Ten-
nessee and Transco in-
terstate pipelines that
cross the Northeast.
It creates great optionality for Wil-
liams customers, Karam said.
All 33 Laser employees have received
job offers from Williams, and most have
accepted. Our people have been build-
ingpipelines inNortheasternPennsylva-
nia for decades, Karam said.
The deal includes some smaller Laser
assets in Texas. Williams will pay Delphi
$300 millioncashandapproximately 7.5
million Williams Partners common
units. Karam declined to say how much
Delphi had paid for Laser or invested
since the acquisition.
While planning to keep a pretty close
association with Williams, Karam sees
opportunity inother services tothe drill-
ing industry, such as water supply and
disposal. Each well can use up to five
milliongallons of water inthe hydrofrac-
turing process.
Overall, the infrastructure to under-
pin drilling has to catch up with produc-
tion, Karam said. That, he said, is a
short-term obstacle, long-term oppor-
tunity.
At the same time, we have to be a lit-
tle more cautious on environmental
matters, Karam said, and not make the
kind of mistakes that left the region
scarred after coal mining played out.

SUGARLOAFTWP. Citing contin-
ued financial losses, Downs Racing,
LPhas decidedto close its off-track be-
tting facility near the Laurel Mall on
Dec. 31.
Bobby Soper, president andchief ex-
ecutive officer of Mohegan Sun at Po-
cono Downs, Downs Racing LPs par-
ent company, said discussions have
been ongoing for several years about
the facility, but in recent months the
decision was made to cut its losses.
Theres a point where you can no
longer bleed cash, Soper said. He
said the three other off-track wagering
facilities Downs Racing operates
Carbondale, East Stroudsburg and Al-
lentown will remain open and there
are no plans to close themat this time.
Soper said at one point the Downs
at Hazleton was profitable, but that
changed a few years ago. Soper said
several factors were likely to blame for
a decline in revenue and attendance.
He said the close proximity to the Po-
cono Downs Racetrack and simulcast
center in Plains Township was likely
the biggest factor, but the emergence
of online wagering and the weak econ-
omy also likely played a role.
The facilitys 15 employees will be
offered positions at the Mohegan Sun
at Pocono Downs complex in various
areas, not just horse track operations.
Were going to try to accommodate
them the best that we can, Soper
said.
The Downs at Hazleton opened in
1997 in a strip mall on the Laurel Mall
property.
A message left with Denise Betz,
Laurel Mall spokeswoman, was not
immediately returned.
The off-track wagering parlors were
included in the $280 million purchase
by the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Au-
thority of the racetrack and land from
Penn National Gaming in 2004. A par-
lor in Erie was included in the deal,
but that facility was sold to the oper-
ator of Presque Isle Racetrack and Ca-
sino.

Much colder air
blew in
overnight and
despite some
sunshine today,
readings will
struggle just to
reach the mid
30s. The air is
also becoming
very dry and so
under clear skies
tonight, the rein-
deer will enjoy
excellent flying
weather with
just enough of a
tail wind to pull
Santa into town
right on time.
On Christmas
day, skies will
turn mostly
cloudy and it'll
be a little
warmer than
today. There may
be snow showers
later Sunday
night and then
on Tuesday,
there's a good
chance for more
rain and snow.
The whitest
Christmas on
record was in
2002 when 15"
fell in just 10
hours on
Christmas day.

NATIONAL FORECAST: High pressure will be in control of the weather across the United States for
today. Expect partly to mostly sunny skies and dry conditions for most of the country. The exception
will be Texas, where there will be a chance of scattered rain showers, with light snowfall possible over
eastern portions of the state and southeast New Mexico.

S
o Christmas and I had our annual
chat. We go way back, dont you
know? To those magical days
when some quite specific, almost full-
on Events, capital E intended, really
made a kid giddy to know that yes!
the perfect season was finally here and
what a fabulous time to be alive.
Two moments always did it for me:
the retrieval from storage of the big old
Burl Ives record and the postmans
arrival with the Sears Wishbook. Any
troubles that could befall a young life
would dissipate the moment needle hit
vinyl to free the familiar sounds of
Holly, Jolly Christmas, then the al-
most-plaintive strains of Silver and
Gold. And when I got my turn to page
uninterrupted through the fat catalog
that today would snap my mailbox in
two? Forget about it.
Maybe the Burl Ives love we had
the now-retro Rudolph The Red-
Nosed Reindeer album flowed be-
cause of my little fantasy that life
would be too cool on the Island of
Misfit Toys. After all, I had a special
affinity for Dolly For Sue, red-headed
reject. Though her ginger wasnt, in
fact, her flaw, I thank Rankin & Bass
for not freckling the poor thing as well.
She had enough problems and sure
didnt need the polka dots piling on.
(Though Id have told her my grandma
always said freckles were Gods kiss-
es so others can just be jealous, OK?)
Anyway, where setting hearts ablaze
at Christmas was concerned, Burl Ives
was the man. Dont you wish we could
bring him back, along with quite a lot
of the old world order?
I wrote up a little Christmas 2011
performance evaluation, and Christmas
was open-minded, accepting graciously
my ideas for the future:
Basic toys need big-time revival.
Mom picked a tag off the church giving
tree this year and was charmed by the
simplicity of its request: truck. Tried
finding one lately? Hither and yon, and
we finally did, but geez Louise. Only
too late did I discover an entire cache
at T.J. Maxx, Ross and Marshalls,
which often indicates offloading. Of toy
trucks? No, no, no. I will not live in a
world where every toy sans that little i
in front of its name is the misfit!
Sorting those same giving-tree
gifts for distribution, I came across tin
of cookies written in frail hand, by one
of the homebound recipients. Mental
note: Every tin of cookies should be
offered with ton of company.
Speaking of company, its what I
like about gift-shopping in stores. On-
lines handy, but this year you cant go
back really stung, as in, not even three
minutes after placing an order in error.
(A package takes seven to 10 days to
hit your house but seven to 10 seconds
to hit processing stage. Translation:
In 17 days (or so), well credit your
plastic. Id rather buy my mistakes in
camaraderie. Strangers are great at
answering the big questions, too, such
as, If you were an 8-year-old boy,
would you find this cool? And if you
get a serenade by a little brass band at
center court or sidewalk? Thats gravy.
Much modern dcor is attractively
progressive, but, I submit, at least one
piece of true kitsch is essential for all of
us. Remember those plug-in white
porcelain Christmas trees with all the
holes for all the little colored peg
lights? We had one in our family, and it
somehow survived all these years, a
testament to endurance. Then I got my
clutzy hands on it. Yep, Mama asked
me to carry it up her steps this year
and joked that if I broke it shed have an
excuse to throw it out. Not 10 seconds
later no joke crash, bang, boom,
Humpty Dumpty lays waste to the
family history. (Moms not mad; shed
just really like to know how I manage
to fall so much. She stopped laughing
long enough to pose the question.)
Ah well, at least a gazillion histor-
ical ornaments still fancy up the
mother tree, reminding me some
things never will, and never should,
change. The clothespin reindeers pipe-
cleaner antlers have seen better days,
and shes missing an eye now, too, so I
put her up even higher on the tree.
(Proves my love.)
Long live sweet Christmas posterity.

Q&A
Q: I have a front-yard rockery
that was entirely covered in
juniper and heathers and is at
the bottom of a slope. I removed
all the plants because I wanted
to start over and create a beauti-
ful flower and succulent rockery
garden in its place. Should I be
concerned about the stability of
the rocks now? Do I need to
replace the junipers with some
kind of plant that will help with
soil erosion and rockery stabil-
ity?
Laura Vanderpool, West
Seattle, Wash.
A: John Vittum, a landscape
architect in Bath Township,
Ohio, said ideally the rocks
should be repositioned so
theyre more stable. He suggest-
ed starting over from the base of
the slope and partially burying
the first course of stones in a
trench, then placing the other
rocks above them at an angle so
they rest against the slope.
Backfill with soil.
If you dont want to move the
rocks, he suggested planting the
rockery with shrubs such as
Gro-Low sumac, Blue Rug juni-
per, Japanese Garden juniper or
a low-growing variety of coto-
neaster. Or you could plant
spreading perennials such as
myrtle, ajuga, sedum, candytuft
or a perennial geranium.

Deborah Needleman believes
you can have a beautiful home
without being a slave to the
design. She knows that from
experience: She grew up in a
professionally decorated home
that, in her words, had very
little life.
Shes helping people create
dwellings they can both live in
and love with her book The
Perfectly Imperfect Home: How
to Decorate & Live Well.
Needlemans book is about
embracing imperfection but not
disregarding the basics of good
design. She offers ideas for
achieving spaces that are beauti-
ful but still intended for use by
real people people with kids
and pets and stuff that doesnt
always lend itself to magazine
photos.
She does that by encouraging
her readers to decide how they
want their homes to function or
feel and then offering suggesti-
ons that will make that happen.
The Perfectly Imperfect
Home is published by Clarkson
Potter and sells for $30 in hard-
cover.

IN BRIEF
Q: I want to
paint my house,
but the morn-
ings are cold.
How do I know
if it is safe to
paint my house
if the weather is
cold? Does the wood have to be
a certain temperature for the
paint to stick? Is there a device I
can buy to let me know if the
wood is too cold to paint, or is
there a general rule of thumb?
A: I have painted in cold
weather over the years, but
rarely when the temperature
dropped below 40 degrees.
Water-based paints tend to start
thickening around 50 degrees;
oil-based, when I used it, was a
bit more forgiving.
I usually waited to paint on
days when it was in the 50s to
low 60s, with little wind so that
the paint would not dry too
quickly. I tried to start the job
early enough so that the paint
set up before dark.
The Paint Quality Institute
states that most latex paints
should not be applied when the
air temperature of surface being
painted is 35 to 50 degrees,
depending on the manufactur-
ers recommendations on the
paint label.
Painting in cold weather is
more difficult, and it takes long-
er to dry, leaving the wet paint
more susceptible to dirt, insects
and pollen, the institute says.
If you use a latex paint, wait
until the temperature is pre-
dicted to remain above the
recommended minimum for the
next 36 hours.
There are paints that have
come out since Ive needed to
paint in cold weather that are
designed for use in northerly
climates. You can search on the
the winter?
If so, what should I do to
make sure I have no issues with
the water lines if I come back
for a week in January or Febru-
ary when the weather is really
cold?
Handyguy Brian responds:
I have a cottage I winterize. I
drain all water from any pipe,
trap, toilet everything. If I
have a trap I cant drain I replace
the water with antifreeze made
for the purpose.
I then turn off the gas and
electricity. I make sure the
fridge door is open and dried
out (to prevent mold). Then I
place mouse poison around a
few places just in case.
Every week, I do at least one

chore defined as maintenance.
Recently, it was changing the
filter in the furnaces whole-
house air cleaner.
Why did I do all this?
With heating season here, a
clean filter is key to efficient
operation. Unlike my old ram-
bler in the city, which depended
on an ancient furnace converted
to oil from coal in the 1940s, my
current furnace is a relatively
modern, high-efficiency con-
densing gas model that, while
not totally problem-free over the
past few years, needs a bit of
routine TLC to work properly
and efficiently.
There is nothing worse than
having your furnace go down
during a snowstorm in the dead
of winter.
Maintenance can help prevent
this nightmare.
Internet.
Professional painters know all
the tricks, and they seem to be
the ones able to get away with
painting in cold, as well as hot
weather.
The latest Ive been able to
paint is Dec. 14, a rare spate of
60- and 70-degree days, in 2000
or 2001, if memory serves.
Mostly, I touch up spots on
weekend days that weather and
time accommodate.
Pests, pests, and more pests.

According to a recent survey of
pest professionals in the Phila-
delphia area conducted by the
National Pest Management
Association, the two most chal-
lenging pests during the fall and
winter months are stink bugs
and house mice, with fleas and
silverfish a distant third and
fourth, respectively. Here are
some other findings:
Forty-six percent of respon-
dents said they had noticed an
overall increase in pest pop-
ulations in the Philadelphia area
over the past year. Specifically,
bed bugs, fleas, odorous house
ants, house mice and stink bugs.
Eastern subterranean ter-
mites, carpenter ants, carpenter
bees, bed bugs and house mice
are listed as the five most de-
structive pests in the area.
From a recent Ask Al chat: I

have a second home in Bucks
County, Pa., that will be empty
this winter.
If I empty the water lines and
shut off the water is it OK for
me to turn the heat off through

A T H O M E
NEW YORK You love it
whenyour house is deckedout in
its holiday finest, reflecting all
the good cheer and festive spirit
inside. At least, you love it until
Dec. 26.
Then you cant stand to look at
another candy-cane plate.
Smart shopping means choos-
ingitems youcanuse year-round,
experts say, then adding little
touches and accents to change it
up. Think separate colors, lots of
candles and see-through glass,
and say no to stripes.
This way, youll end up
with items that are usable
beyond the season, easily
packed away or simply
gone.
With less discre-
tionary income, you have
to make your dollars go far,
but youwant todecoratefor
the holidays, says Pat-
ty Warwick, vice presi-
dent and general mer-
chandise manager of
home at Sears. Whats
evolving is a practicali-
ty.
At the home of Nicole
Sforza, senior home edi-
tor at Real Simple, youll
find several clear-glass
vases filled with candy,
which she likes to sep-
arate by color: green in
one container, red in
another. You wont
have leftovers. It will
all be gone, she prom-
ises.
The same vases could have
been used last month to hold her
Thanksgiving centerpiece of
clementines, and theyll hold
flowers in the summer and col-
ored leaves in early fall.
Colored candles, which are so
easy (and inexpensive) to switch
out depending on the occasion,
addaninviting glowto the house,
especially when its dark and cold
outside, says Ralph Snyder, de-
sign director of homes for Kohls
Department Stores. He recom-
mends clear glass hurricanes to
hold the candles, while Sforza
might lay an inexpensive mirror
on the dining table and put pillar
candles on top, surrounded by
greenery for Christmas and con-
fetti on New Years Eve.
The most important thing is
to buy things you love, Snyder
says. Then youll want to use
themseasonafter season, year af-
ter year.
He suggests investing in the
trend of bringing nature inside.
That means natural fibers, gray
pillows and linens, and blond
wood all of which are
easily jazzed up with
metallics, red or even
more novelty motifs
such as snowmen. (Red
cardinals will last you
longer through the
winter thanreindeer or
snowmen, he notes.)
The bigger the
piece, the more neu-
tral it should be. The
very seasonal items
should be small and
easy to store like red
napkins, although you
could use those on Val-
entines Day again,
Snyder says.
Watson is a mother of
five and a believer in
budget- and eco-
friendly holiday decor.
She suggests begin-
ning with real-but-
cheap wine glasses
and clear-glass dinner
plates bought at a dollar store.
Then, the glasses get ribbons
around the stems maybe even
jingle bells while the plates sit
on colorful, cheerful scrapbook
paper that shows through the
glass.
Sometimes, shell use brown
craft paper as the tablecloth. It
gives her flexibility, she says, and
because the dishes are glass in-
stead of paper, it seems tasteful
and special.
Real Simples Sforza thinks
white dinnerware is a wise buy
because it complements any red-
and-green or silver-and-gold
themes you might have going on,
and an all-white theme can be so-
phisticated. Its very festive if
you use it all across the board
and its not cliche.
For that touch of holiday,
shed go with red or gold (note
thats not red AND gold) place-
mats for the pop of color. Theyre
easier to store than dishes or
glasses.
Dont limit yourself to the din-
ing room though, adds Sears
Warwick.
Sofas in the family roomor liv-
ing room get a quick makeover
with decorative pillows or
throws, and a guest bedroom is
more inviting with a faux-fur
comforter. Guests always seem
to work their way into the kitch-
en, where you can line up holi-
day-themed mugs for coffee or
even all-red dessert plates, she
suggests. None of these are space
hogs in the closet, a problemyou
might have with giant serving
platters.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I have
been happily mar-
ried for more than
20 years. I joined an
online social network
to keep in touch with
family and friends. I
love the convenience,
but Im in a quandary.
A number of men from my past
have contacted me online with their
phone numbers and asked me to call
them. I think phone communication
would be inviting trouble.
I politely inform friends who push
the issue that Im happy to catch
up online, but out of respect for my
husband and my marriage I dont call
men who send me their numbers.
My problem is it continues to hap-
pen. I suspended my account several
times, but reactivated it because I
miss the connection with extended
family and friends.
Im getting turned off to respond-
ing to any friend requests anymore
because it seems that most men just
want to recapture some youthful fan-
tasy. How do I handle this?
Blast From the Past
Dear Blast: You are handling it very
well just the way you are.
Dear Abby: My boyfriend, Ian, and
I are in our 30s. Although we have
been together for seven months, his
family is not over his ex-wife. They
invite her for dinner, share weekend
visitation with Ians daughter with
her, and remind him that they are dis-
appointed with his decision.
Ian would like to cut all ties with
his ex, but his family wont allow it.
Hes afraid if he puts his foot down it
will destroy the already strained rela-
tionship he has with them.
My family accepts Ian, but his
refuses to admit I exist. How do we
deal with this?
Invisible Woman in Philly
Dear Invisible Woman: Toughen up,
grit your teeth and continue the rela-
tionship. Remember, because a child
is involved, Ian cannot completely
move on. As for his parents, accept
that their grandchilds mother will
always be a part of their lives so get
used to it. If this romance leads to
the altar, you will meet Ians family at
some point.
Dear Abby: My friend Cailin is
very sensitive and not very accepting.
Since the sixth grade it has gotten
even worse.
There is a new girl in school who
seems to be really nice. Cailin was the
first one to meet her and she wouldnt
let anyone else sit with them.
I told my mom about it and she
said to just sit down with them both.
Today I did what my mom said to do.
When Cailin saw us together, she was
steaming. She ignored me for the rest
of the day.
Is there any way I could talk to her?
Im considering talking to the dean of
students. Would this be OK?
Sharing Friends in Colorado
Dear Sharing Friends: Cailin is
immature, insecure and possessive.
Shes afraid that if the new girl talks
to other people, the girl will no lon-
ger like and depend on her.
By all means discuss this with the
dean of students. The dean may have
a solution that will allow the new girl
a chance to make friends with more
of her classmates including you.

Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box 447, Mount Mor-
ris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It may
feel like everyone wants some-
thing from you at once. Youll be
quite amazing in your ability to
address more than one need at
a time.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
could use your charm to climb
to new ranks, though more than
likely, youll dedicate yourself to
simply making others happy, and
whatever happens after that is
just icing on the cake.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youll
have more company than you
expected, but thats OK because
you get such a positive charge
from friends. Youll notice a
loved ones happy, dancing eyes.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Life
will seem suddenly less com-
plicated. You can feel that you
have the potential for a good life
ahead of you, and you sense that
success is really just a matter of
continuing to choose whats best
for you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You know
better than to pin your hopes on
acquiring certain objects. Youd
rather have the feeling that
comes with knowing that you
love and are loved.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Youll
have the strong sense that
youre in control of your own
destiny. This is what liberty feels
like. When you exercise your free
and independent will, joy rings
through you like a bell.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Youll do
everything within your ability
to make life the way you want it
to be. There are others involved
who wont mind doing things
your way. In fact, theyll rather
enjoy being a part of your vision.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Youll
find simple ways to bring joy to
others using the talents with
which you were born. Its a win-
win: Everyone you reach out to
really appreciates it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Waste not a moment in appre-
hension. There is no use in won-
dering whether everything will
turn out. It already has.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Scientists have yet to figure out
exactly why flowers make people
smile. But they do. Youll use
flowers and other methods to
put a smile on the faces of those
around you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Youll be decisive, choosing as
though you know you cant get
it wrong. In fact, you probably
cant. Whatever you pick, you
can always pick something differ-
ent next.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
believe that being alive is
enough of a reason to celebrate.
So when special occasions come
up, you think Whats the big
deal?
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Dec. 24).
Youll systematically build on
small victories, and before you
know it, youve done something
remarkable. Your accomplish-
ments will give you a sense of
pride. Youll be available to those
who need your support in 2012
and will be grateful to be in a
position to help. Adventure hap-
pens in April and August. Libra
and Aquarius people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 20, 14,
3, 1 and 18.

The Grand Cherokee was once the
undisputed king of midsize SUVs, and
Jeep apparently is determined to regain
the throne. Two new models for 2012
should greatly aid its ascension.
The 2011 Grand Cherokee repre-
sented a new generation and the begin-
ning of a new era for the Jeep Division
of Chrysler, now owned by Fiat and
free from the yoke of bankruptcy and
its former owner, Daimler.
The retooled Grand Cherokee is
based on a luxury SUV platform
developed during the Daimler days
and can also be found beneath Mer-
cedes M-Class models. But most of
the rest of the vehicle owes its excel-
lence to engineering, design and quali-
ty initiatives implemented by
Chryslers new boss, Sergio Mar-
chionne.
Marchionne also runs Fiat and is
responsible for that companys
remarkable resurgence.
The Grand Cherokee progenitor, the
Cherokee, arguably launched the mod-
ern SUV era when American Motors
introduced it in 1984. It reigned for
several years, but was fading under an
onslaught of competitors until Jeep,
which by then was owned by Chrysler,
introduced the larger, more luxurious
Grand Cherokee in 1992 (as a 93
model).
That vehicle won fans and set sales
records by establishing new standards
for comfort, convenience, utility and
versatility. It could easily haul a heavy
camper, comfortably tote tots in boost-
er seats and enabled anglers to reach
their favorite fishing hole far from the
nearest paved road.
The current model delivers the same
type of groundbreaking performance.
After a 900-mile round-trip journey in
last year in a Grand Cherokee Laredo
X, I compared its ride to a luxury tour-
ing sedan and called it one of the most
comfortable SUVs Id ever tested.
I marveled at how a vehicle could
be that comfy and still step over 10-
inch logs and plow through 18 inches
of water, as Jeep asserts it will.
Think Range Rover at half the
price, I wrote.
Jeeps ups the ante and price for
2012 with a new model that compares
favorably to the vaunted Range
Rovers luxury: The Grand Cherokee
Overland Summit edition. Thats a
mouthful, for sure, but worth every
syllable, based on my weeklong test.
Also new for 2012 is the Grand
Cherokee SRT8 model, which I have
not tested. SRT is Chryslers
acronym for Street and Racing Tech-
nology. The 8 represents a 6.4-liter
Hemi V8 engine that churns out 470
horsepower and 467 pounds-feet of
torque.
A Car and Driver magazine test
clocked the SRT8s 0-60 time at 4.7
seconds, and credits it with a 157-mph
top speed. The test also describes deft
cornering and potent braking.
A glutton for speed and handling, I
cant wait to get my hands on an SRT8.
But the Grand Cherokee Overland
Summit is no slouch. Equipped with a
smaller but far from diminutive
5.7-liter Hemi rated at 360 horsepow-
er, my test vehicle took just 6.9 sec-
onds to go from planted to 60 mph.
Highway passing power is just as
impressive.
The price you pay for such perform-
ance in a 5,200-pound, four-wheel
drive vehicle that can tow
over 7,000 pounds is
extracted at the fuel pump.
After a week behind the
wheel, the test cars
onboard trip computer
reported a 13.8-mpg aver-
age.
Spend more time on the
highway and less time
than I did mashing the
throttle to enjoy the bawdy
V8, and youll probably
fare better.
Other Grand Cherokee
models are available with
a more fuel efficient V6.
But buy a Prius if youre
really concerned with
pinching pennies at the
pump.
Like the Prius but
unlike many of Jeeps
midsize SUV competitors
the Grand Cherokee
seats five folks max.

Leader as their

Cargo room also ranks near the bottom
of the class. The Grand Cherokee nearly
choked on my son Brandons huge hockey
bag and goalie stick, which my own Honda
Pilot swallows easily.
But thats it for nits I could find to pick
with the Grand Cherokee. A roomy cabin
compliments a deliciously comfortable
and library-quiet ride. Entry and egress are
easy, despite generous and genuinely Jeep-
like ground clearance.
When youre in the Jeeps cabin, its dif-
ficult not to be impressed with the interior.
Theres an overall look and feel of quality
thats heightened by features exclusive to
the Overland Summit model. These
include a heated leather-wrapped steering
wheel, heated rear seats, upgraded leather
upholstery with raised stitching, leather-
look dashboard covering and olive wood
trim.
Other extras include a high-tech obsta-
cle warning system, adaptive cruise con-
trol, variable-height air suspension system,
polished aluminum wheels and chrome
mesh grille inserts.
Those are crowning touches that nudge
the new Grand Cherokee closer to its coro-
nation as the king of midsize SUVs.
NUTS & BOLTS
WHAT IT IS:
2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Over-
land Summit, a luxurious and
capable midsize SUV.
WHAT IT COSTS:
Grand Cherokees MSRP ranges
from $26,995 for a rear-wheel
drive Laredo to $54,470 for an
SRT8 hot rod model. Overland
Summit 4x4 V8 like the one tested
starts at $42,995 and had a
$49,615 MSRP as tested.
WHAT I LIKED BEST:
Performance and refinement on a
par with the best luxury SUVs for
far less money.
WHAT I LIKED LEAST:
Jeep no longer calls V8 a Hemi,
but it still slurps fuel like one.
WHO IT'S FOR:
Anyone seeking a luxurious five-
passenger SUV that is truly off-
road capable.
IMPORTANT NUMBERS:
5.7-liter (Hemi) V8 with variable
valve timing produces 360 hp, 390
lb-ft torque. 6-speed auto. 114.8-
inch wheelbase. 5,210-lb curb
weight. 13 city/20 hway mpg
(EPA). 7,200-pound towing. 10.6-
inch ground clearance. 35.1/68.7
cu.ft. cargo space behind sec-
ond/first-row seats.
