5
THINGS
YOU NEED
TO KNOW
THIS WEEK
>> THE FANS OF OUR Penguins sure like their team a
lot. But the Devils from Albany most definitely do not.
The Devils hated the Penguins! For the whole Penguins
season! Now, please dont ask why. No one quite knows the
reason.
It could be their helmets werent screwed on just right. It
could be, perhaps, they got clocked in a fight.
But whatever the most likely cause of all, the teams play
tonight at 7 at the arena near the mall.
>> THE GRINCHES OF the world dont need much of a
reason. Theyll stand there before Christmas, hating the
season.
Theyll complain about ribbons and trinkets and bob. Theyll
complain about shopping in that sweaty store mob.
But a day there exists for them to get out and vent. Stuck in
the middle, as they are, of another Advent.
Wednesday, it seems, is Humbug Day, Im told. To let loose
the Scrooge in all of us, be we young or very old.
>> STARING DOWN FROMour caves
with a sour, Grinchy frown, at the warm
movie screen in our very own town.
Every Who down in Whoville looking for
something to do, could check out a film, if
they were a curious Who.
And look at the films that have just come in,
an animated feature called The Adventures of
Tin Tin.
It opens this Wednesday at a theater near you
and near me. It might give us something to
do, besides play some Wii.
>> AS WERE HANGING our stockings on a cold
Christmas Eve, wiping milk and cookies from our Christmas-
sy sleeve.
To TV we will turn for something to see. The Yule Log chan-
nel? Sounds like fun viewing to me.
Even better, it seems, is some fine holiday fun. The story of
Ralphie and his quest for a Red Ryder BB gun.
A Christmas Story airs Saturday night at 8. Its marathon
viewing on TBS, running early till late.
>> AND FINALLY, next Sunday, the day of all days.
The bestest most fun time in all sizes and ways.
It will come without ribbons! It will come
without tags! It might even come without
packages, boxes or bags!
Enjoy yourself on this fine Christmas day.
Have some roast beast and watch the kids play.
And most of all, have the happiest of times.
Even when reading some bad Christmas
rhymes.

AT THE IRAQ-KUWAIT BORDER Outside it
was pitch dark. The six American soldiers couldnt see
muchof the desert landscape streamingby outside the
small windows of their armored vehicle. They were
hushed and exhausted from an all-night drive part
of thelast convoyof U.S. troops toleaveIraqduringthe
final moment of a nearly nine-year war.
As dawn broke Sunday, a small cluster of Iraqi sol-
diers along the highway waved goodbye to the depart-
ing American troops.
My heart goes out to the Iraqis, said Warrant Offi-
cer John Jewell. The innocent always pay the bill.
When they finally crossed the sand berm that sep-
arates Iraq from Kuwait, illuminated by floodlights
and crisscrossed with barbed wire, the mood inside
Jewells vehicle was subdued. No cheers. No hugs.
Mostly just relief.

Health insurance and transporta-
tion are among the biggest con-
cerns of some local senior citizens
in a county where their numbers
are the highest per capita in the
state.
According to the American Com-
munity Survey 2010 five-year esti-
mates recently released by the U.S.
Census Bureau, people age 65 and
older make up 18 percent of Lu-
zerne Countys population of its
320,000 residents. The national
average is about 12 percent.
We have a lot of benefits, 77-
year-old Betty Lee Frusciante said
before enjoying a $2 lunch with her
friends at the Kingston Senior Citi-
zens Center on Friday.
The PACE NET prescription
assistance program, a property tax
rebate and meals and services at
the senior center were a few of the
programs the Swoyersville resident
rattled off as being a big help to her.
They even bring in attorneys to
help with anything you want to
change in your will. I think thats
wonderful, she said. Still, its a
hard life, keeping up with the cost
of living. Thats why this place is so
great.

LOS ANGELES Sherlock
Holmes is facing his worst ene-
my: declining crowds at theaters
as this years domestic movie at-
tendance dips to the lowest in 16
years.
Robert Downey Jr.s sequel
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of
Shadows debuted on top with a
$40 million weekend, off 36 per-
cent from the first installments
$62.3 million opening two years
ago, according to studio esti-
mates Sunday.
The first movie opened over
Christmas weekend, one of the
busiest times for movie theaters.
Distributor Warner Bros. pre-
dicts the Holmes sequel, which
pits Downeys detective against
archrival Professor Moriarty, will
make up the lost ground over the
holidays.
The pattern is different, said
Dan Fellman, the studios head of
distribution. What you can put
in the bank those nine days be-
fore the official Christmas play
time, thats the difference be-
tween our opening with a bigger
number on Christmas day and
opening early this time. At the
end of the holiday period, we
should be in the same place.
The Holmes sequel opened
in six overseas markets, includ-
ing the detectives native Britain,
and took in $14.7 million to bring
its worldwide total to $54.7 mil-
lion.
After two previous weekends
that were Hollywoods worst of
the year, overall business was
down again, about 12 percent
lower than the same weekend in
2010 as Hollywood struggles to
interest audiences in its big year-
end releases.
Paul Dergarabedian, ananalyst
for box-office tracker Hollywood-
.com, estimated that the number
of tickets sold domestically in
2011 will come in below 1.3 bil-
lion.
That would be the lowest at-
tendance since 1995, when ad-
missions totaled 1.26 billion. Do-
mestic attendance in modern
times peakedat1.6billionin2002
and has been on a general decline
since.
These low-attendance num-
bers are taking the gas out of the
tank, Dergarabedian said. All
the momentum we had kind of
came to a dead stop.
The 20th Century Fox family
sequel Alvin and the Chip-
munks: Chipwrecked did even
worse than Holmes. Chip-
wrecked opened at No. 2 with
$23.5 million, about half the busi-
ness the first two Chipmunks
movies did on their debut week-
ends.
The studio had expected a big-
ger debut, but with schools shut-
ting down for the holidays, Fox
executives hope business will
pick up.
Tom Cruise and Paramount
had good news. Their action se-
quel Mission: Impossible
Ghost Protocol got off to a
healthy start at No. 3 with a $13
million weekend playing exclu-
sively at huge-screen IMAX thea-
ters. Ghost Protocol goes into
general release Wednesday.
No killing at box office for Holmes
Sherlock sequel opens on
top, but numbers are off as
poor movie turnout continues.

SEATTLE As the first signs
of an economic recovery make
the news, many of the nations
nonprofit organizations are dig-
ging in for another three to four
years of financial distress, accord-
ing to researchers who keep an
eye on the charitable world.
Some larger nonprofits are see-
ing donations start to rise again,
but most report their income is
holding steady at lower, post-re-
cession levels or is still going
down, according to a new study
fromthe Nonprofit Research Col-
laborative.
The collaborative found59per-
cent of nonprofits report their do-
nation income is flat or lower
than in 2010, which was another
down year for most charities.
Among those that receive some
government dollars long con-
sidered a safety net for charitable
organizations more than half
are reporting a decline in income
for the year.
Forty-one percent of nonprof-
its have seen their donation in-
come go up in 2011, but most of
the nations smaller charities
with less than $3 million in total
spending saw donations drop
again this year.
Food pan-
tries and home-
less shelters
across the
country have
reported fund-
ing crises this
year because of
an increase in
need coupled
with a drop in
donations.
Siena House,
a womens shel-
ter in Wau-
kesha, Wis.,
briefly shut
down this past summer because
it didnt have the money to con-
tinue operations. A fall fundrais-
ing drive brought in $60,000 and
Siena House was able to reopen
in December.
The First Baptist Church of
Danville, Ky., in November
closed its small food bank that
fed up to 200 families a year be-
cause of volunteer and donation
shortages. The food bank de-
pended entirely on donations for
its operation and volunteers to
run it and just couldnt keep up
with demand, said Tom Butler, a
church volunteer.
About 8 percent of the char-
ities included in the report say
they are in danger of closing for
financial reasons, while among
smaller charities, that figure is 20
percent.
Nonprofits are still facingvery
challenging circumstances, said
Una Osili, director of research at
The Center on Philanthropy at
Indiana University, one of six or-
ganizations in the Nonprofit Re-
search Collaborative.
Fewwill actually goout of busi-
ness, Osili said, but cutting pro-
grams and laying off staff are a re-
al possibility. Many are using vol-
unteers to do jobs previously
completed by staff.
The good news is that non-
profits are starting to look ahead
and think about ways to adjust to
the new environment were in,
she said.
Because most nonprofits
spend money the year after they
earn it, or budget according to a
three-year average, even when
the economy does pick up, the re-
covery for charities will take
longer, she said.
Osili said it could take donors
as many as four years to return to
pre-recession giving levels, in
part because it takes a while for
individuals and corporations to
regain confidence in their own fi-
nancial stability.
Jon Fine, CEO of the United
Way of King County, Wash., said
the nonprofit groups his organi-
zation supports through its fun-
draising have had at least three
down years because of the reces-
sion.
Infiscal 2011, the Seattle-based
United Way experienced its first
up year since fiscal 2007, withdo-
nations of $119 million compared
to $100 million in fiscal 2010.
Thats still belowthe$124million
total for 2007.

had diabetes and heart disease.
North Korea has been groom-
ing Kims third son to take over
power from his father in the im-
poverished nation that cele-
brates the ruling family with an
intense cult of personality.
South Korea put its military
on high alert and President
Lee Myung-bak convened a na-
tional security council meeting
after the news of Kims death.
The two Koreas remain techni-
cally in a state of war more than
50 years after the peninsulas
Cold War-era armed conflict
ended in a cease-fire.
In a special broadcast Mon-
day, North Koreas state media
said Kimdied of a heart ailment
on a train due to a great mental
andphysical strain onSaturday
during a high intensity field in-
spection.
Kim is believed to have suf-
fereda stroke in2008 but he had
appeared relatively vigorous in
photos and video from recent
trips to China and Russia and in
numerous trips around the
country carefully documented
by state media.
Kim Jong Il inherited power
after his father, revered North
Korean founder Kim Il Sung,
died in 1994. He had been
groomed for 20 years to lead the
communist nation founded by
his guerrilla fighter-turned-poli-
tician father and built according
to the principle of juche, or
self-reliance.
In September 2010, KimJong
Il unveiled his third son, the
twenty-something Kim Jong
Un, as his successor, putting
him in high-ranking posts.
Even with a successor, there
had been some fear among
North Korean observers of a be-
hind-the-scenes power struggle
or nuclear instability upon the
elder Kims death.
Few firm facts are available
when it comes to North Korea,
one of the most isolated coun-
tries in the world, and not much
is clear about the man known as
the Dear Leader.
North Korean legend has it
that Kim was born on Mount
Paekdu, one of Koreas most
cherished sites, in 1942, a birth
heraldedintheheavens byapair
of rainbows and a brilliant new
star. Soviet records, however, in-
dicate he was born in Siberia, in
1941.
Kim Il Sung, who for years
fought for independence from
Koreas colonial ruler, Japan,
from a base in Russia, emerged
as a communist leader after re-
turningtoKorea in1945after Ja-
pan was defeated in World War
II.
With the peninsula divided
between the Soviet-adminis-
tered north and the U.S.-admin-
isteredsouth, Kimrosetopower
as North Koreas first leader in
1948 while Syngman Rhee be-
came South Koreas first presi-
dent.
The North invaded the South
in 1950, sparking a war that
would last three years, kill mil-
lions of civilians and leave the
peninsula dividedby a Demilita-
rized Zone that today remains
one of the worlds most heavily
fortified.
In the North, Kim Il Sung
meshed Stalinist ideology with
a cult of personality that encom-
passed him and his son. Their
portraits hang in every building
inNorthKorea andonthe lapels
of every dutiful North Korean.
Kim Jong Il, a graduate of
Pyongyangs Kim Il Sung Uni-
versity, was 33 when his father
anointed him his eventual suc-
cessor.
Even before he took over as
leader, there were signs the
younger Kimwouldmaintain
and perhaps exceed his fa-
thers hard-line stance.
South Korea has accused Kim
of masterminding a 1983 bomb-
ing that killed 17 South Korean
officials visiting Burma, now
knownas Myanmar. In1987, the
bombing of a Korean Air Flight
killed all 115 people on board; a
North Korean agent who con-
fessed to planting the device
said Kim ordered the downing
of the plane himself.
KimJongIl tookover after his
father died in 1994, eventually
taking the posts of chairman of
the National Defense Commis-
sion, commander of the Korean
Peoples Army and head of the
ruling Workers Party while his
father remained as North Ko-
reas eternal president.
He faithfully carried out his
fathers policy of military first,
devoting much of the countrys
scarce resources to its troops
even as his people suffered from
a prolonged famine and built
the worlds fifth-largest military.
Kim also sought to build up
the countrys nuclear arms arse-
nal, which culminated in North
Koreas first nuclear test explo-
sion, an underground blast con-
ducted in October 2006. Anoth-
er test came in 2009.
Kimcut adistinctive, if oft rid-
iculed, figure. Short and pudgy
at 5-foot-3, he wore platform
shoes and sported a permed
bouffant. His trademarkattire of
jumpsuits and sunglasses was
mocked in such films as Team
America: World Police.

Library holds caroling
A number of area residents came
out on Sunday in support of the
flood-damaged West Pittston Li-
brarys annual Christmas Caroling
excursion.
Were trying to keep an old-fash-
ioned tradition alive, said Anne
Bramblett-Barr, West Pittston Li-
brary director. Tradition is partic-
ularly relevant, given the recent
flooding. Many of our residents
wont be back in their homes this
holiday.
Bramblett-Barr said the library
suffered losses to building and con-
tents totaling more than $900,000.
The library is currently in a tempo-
rary storefront location in the In-
salaco Shopping Center on Wyoming
Ave.
We lost over half of our books
11,500. We have our work cut out for
us.
Families from throughout the area
left their warm homes to go caroling
through flood-ravaged neighbor-
hoods.
Weve been watching a lot of
Christmas programs on TV and
caught the holiday spirit, said Tracy
Thornton of Harding, who brought
her daughter, Katelyn. We wanted
to spread a little Christmas cheer.
Library board member Amy Hetro
said the organizers decided to hold
the caroling event this year to show
that the library is still here despite
the tremendous damage.
Even though many of our resi-
dents are struggling with their own
flooding issues, they have still been
generous to us with donations,
added Hetro. All of our current
shelving and computers have been
donated. Its truly amazing.

Its merely a recommenda-
tion, but what the National
Transportation Safety Board is
suggesting as lawis already not
sitting well with some local
drivers.
Are they going to tell me I
cant drive with my kids in the
car, too? Lisa Haines, 44, of
Wilkes-Barre said. Its pretty
much the same thing, right?
They distract me.
The NTSB last Tuesday took
the notionof driving cell phone-
free to cover its widest area yet,
suggesting the first nationwide
ban on non-emergency use of
portable electronic devices.
While this may come as no sur-
prise to most, and is also famil-
iar to city residents due to the
April 2010 Wilkes-Barre ban of
motorists from dialing, talking,
texting, or browsing the web on
their phones while their vehicle
was in operation, its the inclu-
sionof the banonhands-free de-
vices thats really stirring the
pot.
The action, as a whole, was
prompted by an accident that
occurred in Missouri in August
2010 that involved several vehi-
cles, including two school bus-
es, two deaths and 38 injuries,
seemingly the result of a driver
distracted by text messaging.
The NTSB is choosing to fo-
cus onhands-free sets as well, as
its deemedthat usingsucha de-
vice still carries significant risk,
just like the use of a hand-held
device.
In an article published in the
Washington Post on Thursday,
Anne McCartt, senior vice pres-
ident for research at the Insur-
ance Institute for Highway Safe-
ty, said scientific research sup-
ports this notion.
There is a large body of evi-
dence showing that talking on a
phone, whether hand-held or
hands-free, impairs driving and
increases your risk of having a
crash.

GIVING SANTA SOME LAST-MINUTE HINTS
PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER
T
he conversation between 8-year-old Amanda Federici of Jenkins Township and Santa Claus probably
included a question about whether she was a good girl this year. St. Nick paid a visit to the Jenkins
Township Fire Department on Sunday to make last minute adjustments to wish lists of Federici and other
children.
PITTSTON TWP. Family and
friends recalled former Pittston Area
Superintendent Gerard Musto as easy-
going, compassionate and intelligent.
The father of Luzerne County Dis-
trict Attorney Jackie Musto Carroll
and the younger
brother of former
state Sen. Raphael
Musto died Sunday at
the age of 77.
He is survived by
his wife, Domenica,
three daughters and a
son, five brothers and
a sister.
His older brother Raphael, 83, de-
scribed him as compassionate and
someone who took his work and his
career very seriously.
Gerard Musto served as superin-
tendent from1982 to 1993, when he re-
tired, culminating a career that began
more than 30 years earlier as a teacher
in New Jersey. He returned to Pennsyl-
vania in 1963 to the former Northeast
School District where he was a teach-
er, counselor and coach.
At Pittston Area he also served as
district psychologist, director of curri-
culum, principal and supervisor of cur-
riculum.
I really think he made quite a differ-
ence during his tenure at Pittston Ar-
ea, said Raphael Musto.
Joe Keating and Marty Quinn shared
not only a professional relationship as
former school board members but also
knew him on a personal level, having
grown up with his family.
Our families go back a long, long
time, said Keating, a former Pittston
mayor who was on the board for six
years.
He loved Pittston Area, said Keat-
ing.
Quinn, who replaced Keating on the
board and recently retired after 22
years of service, said he and Musto
were born and raised on Cork Lane in
Pittston Township.
Quinn added that he went to first
grade with Mustos wife, Mickey.
Hes going to be missed, said
Quinn.

Woman torched on elevator
A
man charged with dousing a wom-
an in flammable liquid and tossing
a Molotov cocktail on her in an eleva-
tor told police he set her on fire be-
cause he was angry that she owed him
$2,000, authorities said Sunday.
Jerome Isaac, of Brooklyn, was ar-
rested Sunday on murder and arson
charges in the death of 73-year-old
Deloris Gillespie. The 47-year-old Isaac
reeked of gasoline when he entered a
police station overnight and implicated
himself in Gillespies death, New York
Police Department spokesman Paul
Browne said.
Gillespie was ambushed in the eleva-
tor of her Brooklyn apartment building
on Saturday afternoon, Browne said.
The suspect had been waiting for her
when the elevator doors opened to the
fifth floor of her building in Prospect
Heights, police said.
BEITUNIA, WEST BANK
Israel releases Palestinians
Israel released hundreds of Palesti-
nian prisoners late Sunday, the second
and final phase of a swap with Gaza
Hamas militants that brought home an
Israeli soldier after five years in captiv-
ity.
Under the Egypt-brokered deal, Is-
rael agreed to exchange a total of 1,027
prisoners for Sgt. Gilad Schalit, who
was captured by Gaza militants in June
2006. Schalit returned home in Octo-
ber when Israel freed the first batch of
477 prisoners. Sundays release of 550
prisoners completed the swap, the
most lopsided in Israels history.
The release Sunday night was not
infused with the same drama as the
first phase, since the most significant
players in the trade had already been
freed.
The Oct. 18 return of Schalit, who
appeared pale and thin but otherwise
healthy, was the first public sighting of
him since his capture, and the plight of
the young man had captured Israels
attention for years.
MOSCOW
Search on for rig workers
Rescue workers are searching for 49
men in freezing, remote waters off
Russias east coast after their oil rig
capsized and sank amid fierce storms
on Sunday.
By nightfall, four men had been
confirmed dead, 14 others had been
plucked alive from the churning, icy
waters by the ship that had been tow-
ing the Kolskaya drilling platform. But
the search for the remaining men was
hampered by freezing temperatures, a
driving blizzard and strong winds.
COLLEGE PARK, MD.
Flash rob gets goodies
In less than 10 minutes, 78 teenagers
and young adults cycled through a
7-Eleven and emptied the shelves of
candy bars, snacks and drinks. Before
police arrived, they were gone.
The "flash rob" in Silver Spring last
month was the fifth such mass theft in
the Washington, D.C.-area since April,
a crime trend defined by large groups
of thieves descending on an unsuspect-
ing store and quickly cleaning it out.
Police say the size and speed of the
robbery crews make the crimes diffi-
cult to combat. Now, retail organiza-
tions and legislators in Maryland are
pushing to increase penalties for flash
robbers.
"Flash robs" were named because of
their resemblance to flash mobs, where
large groups of people connect through
social media and meet in a public place
to perform a song or a dance.

Diving right into holiday celebration
A participant of the 73rd edition of
the annual Christmas swimming
swims in the lake of Geneva in Gene-
va, Switzerland, Sunday. More than
1,000 men and women swam the 125
meters at the traditional Christmas
event. The water temperature was
about 41 degrees Fahrenheit.
WASHINGTON Top House Re-
publicans rebelled Sunday against a bi-
partisan, Senate-approved bill extend-
ingpayroll taxcuts andjobless benefits
for two months, reigniting a politically
fueled holiday-season clash that had
seemed all but doused.
TheHouseGOPdefiancecast uncer-
tainty over how quickly Congress
would forestall a tax increase other-
wise heading straight at 160 million
workers beginning New Years Day.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio,
said it could be finished within two
weeks, which suggested that lawmak-
ers might have to spend much of their
usual holiday breakbattlingeachother
in the Capitol.
Aday after rank-and-file House GOP
lawmakers used a conference call to
spewvenomagainst the Senate-passed
bill, Boehner saidhe opposedthe legis-
lation and wanted congressional bar-
gainers to craft a new, year-long ver-
sion.
The president said we shouldnt be
going anywhere without getting our
work done, Boehner said on NBCs
Meet the Press, referring to Presi-
dent Barack Obamas oft-repeated
promise to postpone his Christmas-
time trip to Hawaii if the legislation
was not finished. Lets get our work
done, lets do this for a year.
A spokeswoman for House Majority
Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said the
House wouldvote Monday toeither re-
quest formal bargaining with the Sen-
ate or to make the legislation respon-
sible andinline withthe needs of hard-
working taxpayers and middle-class
families.
Cantor spokeswoman Laena Fallon
did not specify what those changes
might be, beyond a longer-lasting bill.
Boehner, though, expressed support
for reasonable reductions in spend-
ing in a House-approved payroll tax
bill and for provisions that blocked
some Obama administration anti-pol-
lution rules.
Democrats leaped at what they saw
as a chance to champion lower- and
middle-incomeAmericans byaccusing
Republicans of threatening a wide tax
increase unless their demands are met.
If Congress doesnt act, workers
would see their take-home checks cut
by 2 percentage points beginning Jan.
1, when this years 4.2 percent payroll
tax reverts to its normal 6.2 percent.

PRAGUE Thousands of Czechs
paid tribute to Vaclav Havel on Sunday,
braving cold and snowat the spot where
the leader of the peaceful anti-communi-
st revolution rallied protesters.
Mourners, some of themtoo young to
remember 1989s Velvet Revolution,
met at downtown Wenceslas Square,
where Havel once spoke before hun-
dreds of thousands of people expressing
their outrage at the repressive communi-
st regime.
They jangled their keys to make noise
as anti-communist demonstrators did,
sang the national anthem and observed
a minute of silence for the playwright-
turned politician, who died Sunday.
His legacy will be that truth and love
must prevail over lies and hatred, Ha-
vels former adviser Tomas Sedlacektold
the crowd, quoting Havels revolution-
ary motto.
Barbora Rubova, born two years after
the end of the repressive communist re-
gime, said it was important to show her
respect to the man who helped kick off
the fall of the Iron Curtain and served as
president of Czechoslovakia, and later
the Czech Republic.
He laid foundations of democracy for
us all, she said.
A black flag flew over Prague Castle,
the presidential seat, while many
Czechs stood in line to have a chance to
light candles to remember Havel. Mr.
President, thank you for democracy,
read a note placed at the monument to
the revolution in downtown Prague.
Others visited his villa to lay flowers
and light candles. Josef Klik, a 67-year-
old, was among the mourners.
He is an unforgettable person who
contributed to the fall of communism,
Klik said. And after that, he remained a
moral authority for ordinary people.
Bells tolled from cathedrals and
churches across the country at 6 p.m.
Prague archbishop Dominik Duka, who
spent some time withHavel ina commu-
nist prison, said Havel knew what it
meant to lose freedom, be denied digni-
ty, what is repression and imprison-
ment.
I amconvinced that we all, no matter
what our political or religious views are,
should pay respect to him and thank
him, Duka said.

FORT MEADE, Md. A
military hearing for the Ar-
my private charged with
spilling a mountain of se-
crets to WikiLeaks focused
Sunday on why Pfc. Bradley
Manning remained entrust-
ed with highly sensitive in-
formationafter showinghos-
tile behavior to those around
him. A supervisor who
might haveshedlight onthat
question refused to testify.
On the third day of the
hearing to determine wheth-
er Manning will be court-
martialed on 22 charges, in-
cluding aiding the enemy,
his defense sought to build
on its case that his supervi-
sors inthe 2ndBrigade Com-
bat Team should have seen
enough red flags to suspend
or revoke his access to secret
information months before
the leaks.
Capt. Casey Fulton, an Ar-
my intelligence officer, testi-
fied Sunday it was impossi-
ble to supervise analysts
such as Manning constantly.
Youhavetotrust that theyll
safeguard the material the
way that theyve been
taught, she said.
The defense has empha-
sizedwhat it regards as a fail-
ure by Mannings closest su-
pervisor, Sgt. 1st Class Paul
Adkins, to suspend the intel-
ligence security clearance af-
ter at least two fits of rage by
the private during which he
overturned furniture. Ad-
kins refused to testify Sun-
day, invoking his right
against self-incrimination,
whensummonedby the gov-
ernment.
Other testimony revealed
that Manning, serving in
Iraq in 2009 and 2010, was
sometimes angry and dis-
tant with others from his
unit. The defense has said
that Manning, who is gay,
was bullied by fellow sol-
diers. Mannings defense
team says he told Adkins he
suffered from gender-identi-
ty disorder the belief that
he was born the wrong sex.
Manning is accused of ille-
gally leaking a wealth of se-
cret information, including
hundreds of thousands of
battlefield reports and State
Department cables.
Disclosures surfaced on
the anti-secrecy website Wi-
kiLeaks in a breach that rat-
tled U.S. foreign relations
and, accordingtothegovern-
ment, imperiled valuable
military and diplomatic
sources. Defense attorneys
argue the leaked material
did little or no damage to
U.S. interests.
Fulton provided details of
a confrontation that finally
got Manning banned from
the workplace. She said Spc.
Jirhleah Showman grew an-
gry after she was summoned
from her bed to work, and
saw Manning there, appar-
ently playing a video game.

WASHINGTONThe Unit-
ed States will hold talks with
North Korea in Beijing on
Thursday on the possibility of
providing food aid to the im-
poverished country, the State
Department said.
The Obama administration
has been deliberating on the is-
sue for months. The United Na-
tions and U.S. charities say aid
is badly needed, but it remains
a controversial issue. North Ko-
rea has plowed resources into a
nuclear weapons programeven
as its people go hungry.
Special envoy for North Ko-
rean human rights issues Rob-
ert King and senior aid official
Jon Brause will meet with
North Koreas director-general
for North American affairs, Ri
Gun. The American officials ar-
rived Wednesday in the Chi-
nese capital for talks that start
the following day.
State Department spokeswo-
man Victoria Nuland said
Wednesday the two sides
would primarily discuss the
need for strict and clear moni-
toringshouldthe U.S. decide to
give aid amid concerns food
could be diverted to North Ko-
reas powerful military and
Workers Party elite.
Nuland termed the possible
aid as nutritional assistance
that as well as regular food-
stuffs could include vitamin
supplements and high-protein
biscuits for malnourished peo-
ple that would be unlikely to
end up on some leaders ban-
quet table.
NorthKoreanofficials know
that we were obviously deeply
dissatisfied with the way this
went before and that we need
more discussions about it, Nu-
land told a news conference.
The last U.S. food handouts
ended in March 2009, when
NorthKorea expelledU.S. char-
ities who were monitoring the
distribution. That occurred
shortly before the North con-
ducted long-range rocket and
nuclear tests that drew stiff in-
ternational sanctions.
U.S. aid workers who took
part in the 2008-2009 program
say the monitoring was in fact
effective, but they were unable
to oversee the distribution of
21,000 tons of food that arrived
in North Korea as they were
leaving the country. In total,
the program sent 170,000 tons
during 10 months.
U.S. will meet with North Korea to discuss food aid
U.N. and U.S. charities say
aid is badly needed as
people go hungry.

Gone from Barlettas 11th Dis-

trict are Democratic strongholds
such as Wilkes-Barre and Scran-
ton. That makes the freshman
Barletta politically stronger for
next years election, but it also
puts more Democrats into Hold-
ens district, too.
Holden said he plans to spend
time introducing himself to peo-
pleintheWilkes-Barrearea. Heal-
ready had been spending time in
Scranton, because rumors long
hadthat cityshiftedtohis district,
but having Wilkes-Barre added
was a surprise.
Holden said he will show
Wilkes-Barre residents that he
looks for solutions as opposed to
throwing bombs and being in-
volved in partisan conflict.
Key issues for Holden
He saidhe focuses oneconomic
development issues through his
work on the House committees
onagriculture andtransportation.
I look forward to the opportu-
nity to represent the citizens in
the new counties, Holden said.
Holden, 54, is a former real es-
tate agent and insurance broker
and probation officer who served
as Schuylkill County sheriff from
1985 until he was elected to Con-
gress in 1992.
Hes a moderate, blue collar,
working-class guy, said Terry
Madonna, a political science pro-
fessor at Franklin &Marshall Col-
lege. He is not a stuffed shirt, not
aloof. He is a Blue Dog, moderate
Democrat who will certainly fit
the Wilkes-Barre area.
Also living in the new district
represented by Holden is Bill Vin-
sko, a Wilkes-Barre attorney who
has beenrunningagainst Barletta.
Vinsko, who lives a few miles
away fromthe 11th District under
the newmap, says he wont pose a
primary challenge to Holden. He
isnt giving up his challenge
against Barletta, Vinsko has said.
Vinskos challenge
It is rare and politically a
tough prospect but not unheard
of to run for the House from out-
side a district. There is no consti-
tutional requirement tolive inside
the House district a lawmaker
represents, just to live inside the
state.
Holden won re-election com-
fortably in 2010, not a good year
for Democrats generally, with 56
percent of the vote. In 2008 and
2006 he won with 64 percent and
65 percent of the vote.
A decade ago, Holden won his
seat ina17thDistrict that alsohad
just been redrawn by Republi-
cans, that time with the idea of
safeguarding then GOP Rep. Ge-
orge Gekas, according to the Na-
tional Journals Almanac of Amer-
icanPolitics. Instead, Holdenwon
with 52 percent of the vote and
hasnt come close to losing since.
Holden was rated the most con-
servative Democrat in the Penn-
sylvania delegation during the
111th Congress from 2009-10, ac-
cording to the National Journal
rankings. He is against abortion
rights andhevotedagainst Demo-
cratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi of Cali-
fornia for House Minority Leader
this year, insteadcastinga votefor
a fellow House Blue Dog Demo-
crat, Rep. Heath Shuler of North
Carolina.

MERRY CHRISTMAS IN
HEAVEN, DADDY!
We miss you so much! Its hard
to believe that you have been
gone four years now. It seems like
yesterday we were celebrating
Christmas with you. Our hearts
still hurt so badly without you here

This begs the question: whats
next? Will the NTSBeradicate all
distractions? Some are going so
far as to suggest that this in-
cludes fellow passengers and the
radio.
I can understand the need to
get rid of hand-held devices be-
cause that is very dangerous, but
to me using a hands-free to talk
on the phone is the same thing as
talking to someone sitting in
your passenger seat, said Daniel
Matisko, 54, of Mountain Top.
Theres a lot you can do while
driving thats distracting, Eric
Phillips, 28, of Ashley, said.
Even just driving alone in a car
with the radio off can be distract-
ing if youre sitting there thinking
about something. Im all about
the whole no texting, no check-
ing your web ban, but to say you
cant hold a conversation thats
hands-free? It just seems a little
excessive.
Pennsylvania lawmakers have
weighed in on the NTSB ruling.
State Rep. Ron Miller disagrees
with the recommendation.
I doubt a bill like that would
pass in Pennsylvania, he said in
an Associated Press article. The
best approach would be to (do) a
distracted driving bill, not just
something on cell phones. There
are many other distractions than
talking on the phone.

PITTSBURGH Marcellus
Shale natural gas production is
expected to keep rising in 2012,
yet landowners may find that
signinglease deals isnt as easy as
in years past.
Though still in its early stages,
industry experts say that the
business of Marcellus Shale gas
drilling is starting to change, as
new forces emerge.
Among them: lawmakers put-
ting regulations in place that will
create more drilling opportuni-
ties in shale states other than
Pennsylvania; Shells coming de-
cision on where to build a mas-
sive processing plant; and the
great unknown, the market pric-
es for natural gas.
Drillers have swarmed in re-
cent years to the lucrative Mar-
cellus Shale region primarily be-
neath Pennsylvania, New York,
West Virginia and Ohio. Pennsyl-
vania is the center of activity,
with more than 3,000 wells
drilled in the past three years and
thousands more planned. Critics
say a drilling method known as
hydraulic fracturing, or fracking,
could poison water supplies,
while the natural-gas industry
says its been used safely for dec-
ades.
2012 could lessen the spotlight
onPennsylvania. Other states are
moving toward updating laws to
regulate drilling, and the indus-
try is starting to explore a new
gas resource the Utica shale,
which lies under the Marcellus
formation.
NewYorkwill seea regulatory
package; I think West Virginia
will probably be in a situation
where theres more certainty,
said Kathryn Klaber, president of
the Marcellus Shale Coalition, an
industry group based in Pennsyl-
vania.
Theres one variable that im-
pacts the industry everywhere it
operates, Klaber said.
The biggest unpredictable for
2012 is wholesale natural gas
prices, she said. Theyve stayed
low for a few years, and thats
helped boost demand from some
areas, such as gas-fired electric
power plants. But with more and
more gas entering the market, no
one knows just where the balance
of supply and demand will lead.
If prices drop further, drilling
could slow. But if they rise, the
boomcould speed up even more.
Klaber said it will become
clearer next year just how eco-
nomically viable the Utica Shale
is. Some companies have report-
ed promising results from wells
in western Pennsylvania and
eastern Ohio.
The wells drilled to date have
made a lot of folks optimistic. But
I think its still too early to tell
how the Utica will play out, she
said.
Officials fromthree of the shale
states Pennsylvania, Ohio and
West Virginia are all compet-
ing to land a huge new multibil-
lion-dollar Shell Oil Co. petro-
chemical processing plant.
Knownas cracker plants inthein-
dustry, such plants take a liquid
formof natural gas and turn it in-
toother commercial compounds,
such as plastics.
Shell expects to choose a loca-
tion for the plant soon and an-
nounce the decision early in Ja-
nuary, spokeswoman Kelly op de
Weegh told The Associated
Press.
Another comingchange will be
in leases for land to drill on, ex-
perts said.
The past few years saw what
seemed at times to be a mad rush
by the industry to persuade prop-
erty owners to sign deals. But
nowmany of the bigdrillingcom-
panies have tens of thousands of
acres under lease, saidBrianPite-
ll, a representative for the Nation-
al Association of Royalty Owners
in northwestern Pennsylvania.
The land grab, like the gold
rush, is kind of over. You dont
have two, three or four different
companies all competing to of-
fer leases in the same region, he
said.
That means landowners have
fewer options, and less power to
demand certain lease terms.
Theres a muting, to some de-
gree, of competition, Pitell said.
Marcellus production to rise; but lease options to go down
New regulations, Shells plans
and market prices change
impact of gas drilling.

WASHINGTON More than
32 mostly coal-fired power
plants in a dozen states will be
forced to shut down and an addi-
tional 36 might have to close be-
cause of newfederal air pollution
regulations, according to an As-
sociated Press survey.
Together, those plants
some of the oldest and dirtiest in
the country produce enough
electricity for more than 22 mil-
lion households, the AP survey
found. But their demise probably
wont cause homes to go dark.
The fallout will be most acute
for the towns where power plant
smokestacks long have cast a
shadow. Tax revenues and jobs
will be lost, and investments in
new power plants and pollution
controls probably will raise elec-
tric bills.
The survey, based on inter-
views with 55 power plant oper-
ators and on the Environmental
Protection Agencys own predic-
tion of power plant retirements,
rebuts claims by critics of the
regulations and some electric
power producers.
They have predicted the EPA
rules will kill coal as a power
source and force blackouts, bas-
ing their argument on estimates
from energy analysts, congres-
sional offices, government regu-
lators, unions and interest
groups. Many of those studies in-
flate the number of plants retir-
ing by counting those shutting
down for reasons other than the
two EPA rules.
The AP surveyed electricity-
generating companies about
what they plan to do and the ef-
fects on power supply and jobs.
It was the first survey of its kind.
The estimate alsowas basedin
part on EPA computer models
that predict which fossil-fuel
generating units are likely to be
retired early to comply with the
rules, and which were likely to
be retired anyway.
The agency has estimated that
14.7 gigawatts, enoughpower for
more than 11 million house-
holds, will be retired from the
power grid in the 2014-15 period
when the two new rules take ef-
fect.
The first rule curbs air pollu-
tion in states downwind from
dirty power plants. The second,
expected to be announced today,
would set the first standards for
mercury and other toxic pollu-
tants from power plant smoke-
stacks.
Combined, the rules could do
away withmore than8 percent of
the coal-fired generation nation-
wide, the AP found. The average
age of the plants that could be
sacrificed is 51 years.
These plants have been al-
lowedto runfor decades without
modern pollution controls be-
cause it was thought that they
were on the verge of being shut-
tered by the utilities that own
them. But that didnt happen.
Other rules in the works, deal-
ing with cooling water intakes at
power plants and coal ash dis-
posal, could cause the retire-
ment of additional generating
plants. Those rules werent in-
cluded in the AP survey.
While the new rule heralds an
incremental shift away fromcoal
as a power source, its unlikely to
break coals grip as the dominant
domestic electricity source.
Most of the lost power genera-
tion will be replaced, and the
coal-fired plants that remain will
have to be cleaner.
"In the industry we retire
units. That is part of our busi-
ness," said John Moura, manag-
er of reliability assessment at the
North American Electric Relia-
bility Corp. NERC represents
the nations electrical grid oper-
ators, whose job is to weigh the
effect a proposed retirement will
have on reliability.
With so many retirements ex-
pected, that process could get
rushed. "We are getting a little
hammered here, because we see
multiple requests," Moura said.
NERC, alongwithsome power
plant operators, is pressing the
Obama administration to give
companies more time to comply
with the rules to avoid too many
plants shutting down at once.
In addition to anticipated re-
tirements, about 500 or more
units will need to be idled tem-
porarily in the next few years to
install pollution controls. Some
of those units are at critical junc-
tions on the grid and are essen-
tial to restarting the electrical
network in case of a blackout, or
making sure voltage doesnt
drain completely from electrical
lines, like a hose thats lost its wa-
ter pressure.
"We cant say there isnt going
be an issue. We know there will
be some challenges," Moura
said. "But we dont think the
lights are going to turn off be-
cause of this issue."
That hasnt stopped some crit-
ics from sounding alarms.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said
in a letter to the White House
this month that the EPA mercu-
ry rule could "unintentionally
jeopardize the reliability of our
electric grid." At a speechinNew
Hampshire in November, GOP
presidential candidate and for-
mer Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman
predicted summer blackouts. A
recent U.S. Chamber of Com-
merce ad said a single EPA regu-
lation "could threaten Americas
energy supply."
Particularly at the older, less
efficient plants most at risk, coal
already was at a disadvantage be-
cause of low natural gas prices,
demand from China and else-
where that was driving up coals
price, and weaker demand for
electricity.
For many plant operators, the
new regulations were the final
blow. For others, the rules will
speed retirements already
planned to comply with state
laws or to settle earlier enforce-
ment cases with the EPA. In the
APs survey, not a single plant
operator said the EPArules were
solely to blame for a closure, al-
though some said it left them
with no other choice.
"The EPAregulation became a
game changer and a deal chang-
er for some of these units," said
Ryan Stensland, a spokesman for
Alliant Energy, which has three
units in Iowa and one in Minne-
sota that will be retired, and four
in Iowa that are at risk of shut-
ting down, depending on how
the final rules look. "Absent the
EPAregulations, I dont think we
would be seeing the transition
that we are seeing today. It be-
came a situation where EPA
broke the back of coal."
Some believe the change is
long overdue. The two rules will
cut toxic mercury emissions
frompower plants by 90 percent,
smog-forming nitrogen oxide
pollution by half, and soot-form-
ing sulfur dioxide by more than
70 percent.
Coal plants forced to shut down
AP survey shows that
closures due to new federal
air pollution regulations.

Its like an ice cube going by a
barbecue grill.
W. Dean Pesnell

Observatory described the death-defying journey of
Comet Lovejoy as it recently grazed past the sun.

U
NDER THE chaotic
but liberating rule of
Russian President
Boris Yeltsin, the oli-
garchs made hay. Under Vladi-
mir Putin, a former KGB offi-
cial, it has been the bureau-
crats turn to plunder the state.
Executive power prevails.
Parliament is supine, the judi-
ciary is a political tool and the
media is cowed. Business de-
pends on the Kremlins favor
and the regions have been
brought to heel. After his errat-
ic predecessor, Putin offered
stability founded on author-
itarian rule. His personal pop-
ularity and high oil and gas
prices left that contract intact
for over a decade.
Earlier this month, however,
it was fatally undermined by
demonstrations across the
country. Unchallenged rule
had made Putin arrogant.
First, he announcedinSeptem-
ber that an agreement for him
to return to the presidency
next year, succeeding his pup-
pet, Dmitry Medvedev, had
been reached long ago. Sec-
ond, the re-
cent parlia-
mentary
elections
were rigged
infavor of the
prime minis-
ters rubber-
stamp cre-
ation, United Russia. That as-
sumption of impunity led to
nationwide protests.
The tsar is not about to fall,
but his legitimacy has been
dented not least by the Inter-
net. Further demonstrations
have been called for Christmas
Eve and there is talk of boycot-
ting the presidential election
next March.
Putins reaction has been to
blame foreign powers. Tighter
political control and increased
public spending might follow.
But to win back opponents he
must do better than that. Fail-
ure to liberalize what has been
called his soft Bonapartism
will leave Russia even more
sullen and less stable.

WORLD OPINION
Time has come for Putin
to unclench his iron fist
Putin
T
EN YEARS AGO,
when China officially
became the 143rd
member of the World
Trade Organization, wolf cry-
ing was pervasive.
It was not clear at the time
whether Chinas industries,
whichwerebelievedtobeweak
and inadequately prepared,
wouldbeabletosurvivetheim-
mediate head-to-head encoun-
ters withoverseas competitors.
But instead of the vulnerable
victimsome pessimistically an-
ticipated, China has benefited
tremendously from its integra-
tion with the rest of the world.
It is now the worlds second
largest economy, the largest ex-
porter and second largest im-
porter.
While Chinese exports are to
be found in retail outlets across
the world, this has never beena
one-sided game in Chinas fa-
vor.
According to the Interna-
tional Monetary Fund, China
has imported $750 billion
worth of commodities on aver-
age every year in the past 10
years, equivalent to creating
more than14millionjobs for its
trading partners. And the scale
of imports is expected to sur-
pass $8 trillion in the next five
years. That is good news not
only for Chinese companies,
but also other WTO members.

Australias carbon
copy, but economical-
ly, socially and politi-
cally we are closely matched.
Rich in agriculture, re-
sources and energy, it has de-
cided to abandon the Kyoto
Protocol as too costly. In the
wake of the Durban climate
talks, this is sobering.
Australia is about to launch
a $23-a-metric ton carbon tax,
placing us at the front of glob-
al action.
Starting in July next year,
Australia will be paying the
highest price on carbon in the
world. Our carbon tax will be
about $25 a metric ton by
2015, when it will float to a
market price. If, as seems like-
ly, other countries have not
moved to implement similar
schemes, we will be left to
trade carbon permits largely
with the Europeans and New
Zealanders, whose current
carbon price is about $9 a met-
ric ton.
Australia must not put itself
too far ahead of our trading
partners for fear of needlessly
damaging our economy.

Thank you from a
patient parker on mend
I
would like to address and thank the
person who left such a thoughtful
letter on my windshield in the parking
lot of a Wilkes-Barre hospital. Having dri-
ven myself to the hospital alone at night
after suffering a heart attack, I was a bit
distracted by my condition and hurriedly
parked my car in a quite unacceptable
manner.
Apparently, I failed to notice that my tire
was on the white line. (Thank you for
pointing this out.)
Having a few days in the intensive care
unit did far less for my peace of mind com-
pared to the wealth of good will your note
did. (Thank you also for the brief anatom-
ical lesson, but Im afraid that is quite
impossible.) I shall endeavor in the future
to be much more mindful of my driving
skills when I am semi-conscious.
Just in case I relapse into such a terrible
state of ill-manner, please dont break my
other mirror.
Merry Christmas.

Writer questions opinions
of reverend responders
I
am responding to letters to the editor by
Rev. Ann Marie Acacio and Rev. Bruce J.
Simpson, printed Nov. 22 and Nov. 26
respectively, as they responded to my
letter of Nov. 19 (PSU alum says Bible 101
should be required class).
Youre quick to bedazzle readers with
your title of reverend, but you conve-
niently failed to mention what religious
organizations you represent, and on what
you base the foundational doctrines of
your churches.
Your theologies lack balance and your
arguments center on half-truths. Yes, the
Bible was written by men; but its words
are Gods words inspired by the Holy Spir-
it, who is the author and interpreter of the
holy Scriptures. Yes, the Mosaic Law is
Old Testament, but the purpose of the law
is to show mankind his hopeless, lost,
sinful condition and the need for a savior.
Once a lost sinner accepts Christ as his
personal savior, he becomes a child of God
and is no longer under the condemnation
of the law. Yes, God is love, but God must
judge and punish sin.
God even commands us to separate from
professed believers who are willfully en-
gaged in sin and are unrepentant. No one
is born gay, but were all born with the
curse of sin: for all have sinned and come
short of the glory of God.
Pedophilia and homosexuality (sodomy)
are equally wicked in the eyes of God, as
are other sexual perversions such as sex
with family members; sex with near kin
such as aunts, uncles and cousins; sex with
animals; sex with another mans wife; sex
with another womans husband; sex out-
side the bonds of holy matrimony; and sex
for sale.
Furthermore, if you dig deep into the
early history of our country, the great
institutions of higher learning were found-
ed by men who believed the Bible as the
inerrant word of God.
Why dont you two reverends focus
your ministry efforts on winning lost souls
to Christ instead of trying to justify the
wicked and condemn the just?

Thanks to a young man
for a fresh coat of paint
A
t this special, giving time of year, I
want to bring attention to a young man
who is a sophomore at Coughlin High
School and a Life Scout in Troop 100,
Plains Township. His name is Joseph Tlu-
cek.
Wanting to complete a service project
that would help to facilitate his becoming
an Eagle Scout, Joseph had an idea that
would require much time and effort. It
would be a contribution to the newly con-
solidated Parish of St. Andre Bessette.
Joseph approached the pastor, Rev.
Kenneth Seegar, and asked permission to
paint, with the assistance of some 22 peers
and adults, the expansive church hall at
the parishs Holy Saviour worship site
located on Hillard Street, Wilkes-Barre.
Joseph worked with his young and adult
friends during the week of Thanksgiving to
complete a much-needed painting of Mon-
signor John J. Curran Hall, a venue that
can accommodate 300 to 400 people.
Gift bearers need not only be the wise
men of the past. A Wilkes-Barre teenager
and friends bearing brushes and buckets of
paint and giving of their time and talents
to benefit others are contemporary re-
minders of what this season is about and
should be about the year around.
God bless you, Joseph!

Recalling a reason that
predates tinsel and trim
Y
es, Virginia, there is a Christ child;
although there are those among us of a
worldly mind who would have you
believe otherwise, who concede that while
Christmas is an occasion of merriment and
festivity, it is, after all, that and only that
a holiday, pure and simple.
Yet, before there was tinsel or trim, there
was a stable, sparse and unadorned, except
for the most magnificent of guests. Before
there were garlands and glitter, there was a
star with light enough for the whole world.
Before there were ribbons or wreaths,
there was a love that encircled sinner and
innocent alike. Before there was music or
hymns, there was a song in the night
whose sacred strains are played today in
the quiet corners of the heart, if one would
only be still and clear.
Before there were carols and choirs,
there was a lullaby, softly sung by a virgin
to her newborn son and sovereign Lord.
Before there were favors or gifts, there was
the solitary treasure of peace come to a
contentious Earth from heaven on high.
So you see, Virginia, Christmas is the
commemoration of the birth of Christ,
savior and king. It is a glorious day, one of
great joy. It is a holy day, pure and simple
and unique in all of time.

Dont limit game lands
or the rights of hunters
M
r. David Kveragas bemoans the fact
that he sometimes is awakened at the
crack of dawn by hunters shooting at
species that come under the hunt on
Sunday law (Every resident has right to
oppose Sunday hunting, Dec. 8).
Perhaps his bedroom windows cannot be
closed during that particular season?
Just as no hunting on Sunday is the
law, it also is the law that during the hunt-
ing season non-hunters using the state
game lands are required to don 200 square
inches of orange clothing.
Mr. Kveragas also suggests that lan-
downers should be entitled to use their
land as they please, yet he would deny the
owners of large tracts of land their right to
use said property as they see fit. The word
hypocrisy comes to mind. The duration
of Sunday hunting for specified species
would be of short duration, unlike the use
of game lands.
I am old enough to remember that fish-
ing on Sunday also was prohibited and the
moans of dire results were echoing across
this commonwealth. Today, we see the
results of such a position!

Health insurance issues
Frusciantes friend, CarolynTa-
vella, said her income bracket is
lower than her friend Frus-
ciantes, so its a bit tougher for
her. The cost of her medical in-
surance supplement keeps going
up every year, and the pace ex-
ceeds that of any cost-of-living
adjustment inher Social Security
check.
Every year, I have to keep
changing (insurance carriers),
said Tavella, 67, of Plains Town-
ship. Its a sad situation.
Tavella also noted that using
the countys Shared Ride pro-
gram to get somewhere can take
up a lot of time because multiple
passengers must be picked up in
many different areas before other
passengers are dropped off at
their destination. She said it
could take 90 minutes to get a
ride to a cross-town appoint-
ment.
But the women agreed that
Pennsylvania offers more than
any other state when it comes to
benefits for senior citizens. They
said they know people living in
other states who have things a lot
tougher without many of the ben-
efits offered to seniors here.
However, Alice Hines, of the
Miners Mills section of Wilkes-
Barre, is upset by what she had
been told about assistance with
paying for health insurance.
She said a case worker told her
she would have to go without
health insurance for two months
before she could qualify for Med-
ical Assistance upon turning 65
because she had not previously
received benefits.
Tome, thats not fair. I pay tax-
es. I worked my butt off all my
life. I didnt use my kids as an ex-
cuse not to work. At this age, you
cant go without hospitalization
(insurance) for two months,
Hines said.
Request for help
Hines also thinks the state
and/or federal government
should provide help with or pro-
vide insurance plans that cover
hearing aids and eyeglasses.
Those are the two things that go
on you as a senior citizen vision
and hearing, she said.
Over at the Wilkes-Barre Se-
nior Citizens Center, Sam Maple
said hes getting along pretty
well, noting that his veteran ben-
efits are a big help.
His only complaint?
I cant find a job, the 70-year-
old city resident said.
Maple said the Area Agency on
Aging for Luzerne and Wyoming
Counties referred him to a job
program, but he was not hired.
He used to be an attendant at the
Mid-Town parking lot until his
job was sold out to a company
the city hired to run the parking
facilities.
James Smith, 77, of the Par-
sons section of the city, said side-
walk improvements are needed
in the city because many places
are tough for seniors to navigate.
He also said he and his friends
dont like the citys new James F.
Conahan Intermodal Transporta-
tion Center. One woman said
drainage is poor and its tough for
seniors to navigate around huge
puddles of water.
Theyre also concerned that
when the senior center moves
next year from its current East
Market Street location, around
the corner from the F.M. Kirby
Center, to the Market Street
Square property, bus-riding se-
niors will findthe walk too much.
Wilkes-Barre senior Beverly
Matzer, who declined to give her
age, saidshe wishes more seniors
would take advantage of the se-
nior centers. Its a day out. You
cant sit around looking at the
walls all day, she said.
Doreen Evanko, director of the
Wilkes-Barre center, said she be-
lieves there is adequate help and
information referrals available
toseniors throughtheAreaAgen-
cy on Aging, and the center tries
to make senior guests aware of
them.
The biggest problem is get-
ting them to the resources. A lot
of them dont like the way trans-
portation is set up, Evanko said.
Concerns under review
Stanley Strelish, executive di-
rector of the Luzerne County
Transportation Authority, said
the administration will take the
seniors concerns under consid-
eration when the authority and
county transportation depart-
ment consolidate next year.
Were here to serve the people
of LuzerneCounty, Strelishsaid,
but noted that federal and state
funding remain an issue.
Monies are being cut for the
Shared Ride Program. Maybe its
time for seniors to start contact-
ing their state representatives
and Gov. (Tom) Corbett and tell
them its time to start funding
transportation services proper-
ly, Strelish said.
Trula Hollywood, executive di-
rector of the Area Agency on Ag-
ing, saidthe agency offers a varie-
ty of services to address the
needs and concerns of seniors
like those interviewed.
Our mission is to ensure peo-
ple can live comfortably in what-
ever setting they feel most com-
fortable in, Hollywood said.
The agency offers everything
from care management services,
in which agents visit seniors in
their home and help them plan
for their future, to high-level care
in their own homes.
Most services are not income
dependent, and some are based
onslidingfee schedules, she said.
The trend is to stay in their
homes while still providing nurs-
ing home-level care in a setting
where they feel comfortable, she
said.
Hollywood said because of
Medicaid funding problems,
shes seen many wings in nursing
homes close. And available hous-
ing is a huge problem in most ar-
eas, including in Luzerne Coun-
ty, and adaptive housing that is
senior friendly is very scarce,
she said.
Aging agency focus
Hollywood said the agency is
trying to focus more on the
younger senior citizens and el-
derly in good health as more and
more baby boomers are reaching
that age.
Our senior centers are mov-
ing toward a different atmo-
sphere, offering things such as
trips to Atlantic City to attract
the younger seniors and well el-
derly, she said.
But its gettingmore difficult to
provide programs and services
because agency funding has flat-
lined this year and the elderly
population is growing in Luzerne
County, Hollywoodsaid. I hope
we dont get to the point where
we have a wait list.
Its a hard life, keeping up
with the cost of living. Thats
why this place is so great.
Betty Lee Frusciante
Swoyersville resident
Every year, I have to keep

His comrade, Sgt. Ashley Vor-
hees, mustered a bit more excite-
ment.
Im out of Iraq, she said. Its
all smooth sailing from here.
The final withdrawal was the
starkest of contrasts to the start
of the war, which began before
dawn on March 20, 2003. That
morning, an airstrike in southern
Baghdad, where Saddam Hus-
sein was believed to be hiding,
marked the opening shot of the
famedshockandawe bombard-
ment. U.S. and allied ground
forces then stormed fromKuwait
towardthecapital, hurtlingnorth
across southern Iraqs featureless
deserts.
The last convoy of heavily ar-
mored personnel carriers, known
as MRAPS, left the staging base
at Camp Adder in southern Iraq
in Sundays early hours. They
slipped out under cover of dark-
ness and strict secrecy to prevent
any final attacks. The 500 sol-
diers didnt even tell their Iraqi
comrades on the base they were
leaving.
The attack never materialized.
The fear, though, spoke volumes
about the country they left be-
hindshattered, still dangerous
and containing a good number of
people who still see Americans
not as the ally who helped them
endSaddams dictatorship, but as
an enemy.
About 110 vehicles made the
last trip from Camp Adder to the
berm in Kuwait, the long
mound of earth over which tens
of thousands of American troops
charged into Iraq at the start of
the war.
The roughly five-hour drive
was uneventful, with the excep-
tion of a few vehicle malfunc-
tions.
OncetheycrossedintoKuwait,
there was time for a brief celebra-
tions as the soldiers piled out of
the cramped and formidable-
looking MRAPs. A bear hug,
some whooping, fist bumps and
fist pumps.
The war that began eight years
and nine months earlier cost
nearly 4,500 American and well
more than100,000 Iraqi lives and
$800 billionfromthe U.S. Treasu-
ry. The bitterly divisive conflict
left Iraq shattered and struggling
to recover. For the United States,
two central questions remain un-
answered: whether it was all
worth it, and whether the new
government the Americans leave
behind will remain a steadfast
U.S. ally or drift into Irans orbit.
But the last soldiers out were
looking ahead, mostly, and not
back. They spoke eagerly of
awaiting family reunions
some of them in time for Christ-
mas and longing for Western
civilization and especially the
meals that await them back
home.
The 29-year-old Vorhees was
planning a Mexican dinner out at
Rosas in Killeen, Texas. Her fa-
vorite is crispy chicken tacos. An-
other joy of home, she said: You
dont have to bring your weapon
when you go to the bathroom.
Spc. Jesse Jones was getting
ready to make the 2 1/2 hour
drive from Ft. Hood, Texas,
where the brigade is based, to
Dallas. His quarry: an In & Out
Burger.
Its just an honor to be able to
serve your country and say that
you helped close out the war in
Iraq, said Jones, 23, who volun-
teered to be in the last convoy.
Not a lot of people can say that
theydidhuge things like that that
will probably be in the history
books.
In the last days at Camp Adder,
the remaining few hundred
troops tied up all the loose ends
of a war, or at least those that
could be tied up.
The soldiers at the base spoke
often of the lasts the last
guard duty, the last meal in Iraq,
the last patrol briefing.
Spc. Brittany Hampton laid
claimto one of the most memora-
ble lasts. She rode the last vehi-
cle of the last convoy of American
troops leaving Iraq.
Hampton was thinking of her
dad, alsoasoldier whohas served
four tours in Iraq and Afghanis-
tan.
I cant wait to ... call my dad
and tell himabout this, she said.
Hes not going to believe it. Hes
going to be so proud of me.
She joked that no one was go-
ing to believe her back home
when she told them she was in
the very last vehicle to leave.
But we really, truly were the
last soldiers in Iraq. So its pretty
awesome, she said.
In the final days, U.S. officials
acknowledged the cost in blood
and treasure was high, but tried
to paint it as a victory for both
the troops and the Iraqi people
now freed of a dictator and on a
path to democracy. But gnawing
questions remain: Will Iraqis be
able to forge their new govern-
ment amid the still stubborn sec-
tarian clashes? And will Iraq be
able to defend itself and remain
independent in a region fraught
with turmoil and still steeped in
insurgent threats?
President Barack Obama stop-
pedshort of callingthe U.S. effort
in Iraq a victory.
I would describe our troops as
having succeeded in the mission
of giving to the Iraqis their coun-
try in a way that gives them a
chance for a successful future,
Obama said in an interview with
ABC News Barbara Walters, re-
corded Thursday.
Saddam and his regime fell
within weeks of the invasion, and
the dictator was captured by the
end of the year to be executed
by Iraqs new Shiite rulers at the
end of 2006. But Saddams end
only opened the door to years
more of conflict as Iraq was
plunged into a vicious sectarian
war between its Shiite and Sunni
communities. The near civil war
devastated the country, and its
legacyincludes thousands of wid-
ows andorphans, a people deeply
divided along sectarian lines and
infrastructure that remains large-
ly in ruins.
In the past two years, violence
has dropped dramatically, and
Iraqi security forces that U.S.
troops struggledfor years totrain
have improved. But even as U.S.
troops were leaving, the main
Sunni-backed political bloc an-
nounced Sunday it was suspend-
ing its participation in parlia-
ment to protest government
posts by Shiite allies.

It has been

This year

NATI ONAL FOOTBAL L L EAGUE: WEEK 1 5
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Mike
McCarthy never put a whole lot
of stock in a perfect season, ex-
cept as a means of gaining
home-field advantage and set-
ting the Green Bay Packers up
for another Super Bowl run.
Well, they still have a chance
to earn home-field advantage.
The perfect season? Thats
history.
Kyle Orton threw for 299
yards to outduel Aaron Rodgers,
and the Kansas City Chiefs ral-
lied behind interim coach Ro-
meo Crennel for a shocking 19-
14 victory on Sunday that ended
the Packers 19-game winning
streak. It was their first loss
since Dec. 19, 2010, at New En-
gland.
I personally always viewed
the undefeated season as, really,
just gravy, McCarthy said. The
goal was to get home-field ad-
vantage and win the Super
Bowl. Thats what we discussed.
We were fortunate enough to
be in the position to possibly
achieve the undefeated season,
he added, but we still have the
primary goal in front of us, and
thats to get home-field advan-
tage.
Green Bay, playing without
leading receiver Greg Jennings
and top rusher James Starks be-
cause of injuries, can wrap up
the No. 1 seed in their final two
games against Chicago and De-
troit. But the Packers no longer
have the pressure of becoming
the second team in NFL history
to win a Super Bowl with a per-
fect record, or extending the
second-longest winning streak
in league history.
I think our goal ultimate goal
is to win a Super Bowl. The next
step is getting that number one
seed in the playoffs, Rodgers
said. Weve got a home playoff
game weve got a bye se-
cured.
Rodgers was 17 of 35 for 235
yards and a touchdown, and he
also scampered 8 yards for an-
other touchdown with 2:12 left
in the game. But the Packers
(13-1) were unable to recover
the onside kick, and Kansas City

DENVER For the first time
since he suffered a concussion on
Dec. 10, star center Claude Gi-
roux practiced
with the Flyers
on Sunday.
Giroux skat-
ed hard, but
wore a yellow
no-contact jer-
sey at the Pepsi
Center in Den-
ver, where the
Flyers will play tonight.
He looked good, coach Peter
Laviolette said. To get him back
on the ice, I think, is a lift for ev-
erybody. Hes an extremely im-
portant part of our team, and to
see him back on the ice, thats a
positive.
It was also positive for Giroux.

PHILADELPHIA Fresh off
breaking a Philadelphia Eagles
record that stood for more than
half of a century, LeSean McCoy
was still filled with wide-eyed
optimism.
Especially when it comes to
the Eagles playoff possibilities.
So what do we need (to hap-
pen) now? McCoy wondered.
Not as much as everyone
might think.
Not after the Eagles jolted the
New York Jets, 45-19 at Lincoln
Financial Field, just after the
New York Giants lost to Wash-
ington earlier Sunday.
Those outcomes left the 6-8
Eagles still clinging to hopes of
capturing an NFC East Division
title. They can accomplish that
by beating division-leading Dal-
las (8-6) on Christmas Eve and
winning against Washington on
New Years Day, then hoping the
7-7 Giants lose to the Jets and
beat the Cowboys during the fi-
nal two weeks of the regular sea- AP PHOTO

CINCINNATI Dominique
Morrison scored 19 points
Sunday, leading Oral Roberts
to a 64-42 victory over previ-
ously unbeaten and eighth-
ranked Xavier, which couldnt
do much with three of its
starters suspended.
The Musketeers (8-1) didnt
have point guard Tu Holloway,
shooting guard Mark Lyons or
freshman forward Dez Wells,
who account for 40 percent of
their points. The trio was
suspended for a brawl eight
days earlier against crosstown
rival Cincinnati.
The depleted lineup couldnt
get in sync or keep up with
the experienced Golden Eagles
(8-4), who start three seniors
and two juniors.
Travis Taylor scored 11
points for Xavier, which lost
for only the second time in the
last 46 games at the Cintas
Center. It was the Musketeers
worst loss at Cintas, which
opened for the 2000-01 season.
Xavier had the week off
since its 76-53 win over Cin-
cinnati, a game that was called
with 9.4 seconds left when the
brawl broke out. Each team
suspended four players.

Borovnjak scored 10 points
apiece as Penn State (7-5)
ended the game on a 27-9 run.
It was the first time Penn
State had five players in dou-
ble figures this season.
Those guys are going to get
open shots theres 3 (or) 4
guys on Tim, Penn State
coach Patrick Chambers said.
The Mountaineers (1-9),
who shot 36.2 percent (17 of
47) from the field and scored
18 second-half points, got 11
points from Raven Barber and
10 from Chad Holley.
Penn State connected on
nine of its first 11 field goal
attempts of the second half
and led 50-34 after Frazier,
who added eight assists,
scored on a drive with just
more than 11 minutes remain-
ing.
It was nice to see us come
out and play hard that second
half, Chambers said.
Frazier extended the lead to
20, 54-34, with a coast-to-coast
layup two minutes later. The
Nittany Lions shot 66.7 per-
cent from the field (18 of 27)
in the second half.
We got some easy buckets
in transition, Woodyard said.
Guys seeing the ball going
through the hole picked up our
confidence. I feel like our de-
fense got our offense started.
Penn State shot 36 percent
from the field in the first half
and led 28-25 at the break.
Marshalls 3-pointer with 3
minutes to play gave Penn
State its largest lead, 67-36.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
Rex Grossman threw a
touchdown pass and the Wash-
ington Redskins put a hurt on
the New York Giants and their
playoff hopes with a 23-10
victory on Sunday.
Grossman threw a 20-yard
scoring pass to Santana Moss,
Darrel Young scored on a 6-
yard run after one of the Red-
skins three interceptions of Eli
Manning and Graham Gano
picked three field goals as
Washington (5-9) won for only
the second time in 10 games.
The loss knocked the Giants
(7-7) out of first place in the
NFC East.
Dallas (8-6) now leads the
division by a game with two to
go, including one with Giants
on the final weekend. If New
York beats the Jets and the
Cowboys in its final two games
it will win the division.
Colts 27, Titans 13
INDIANAPOLIS Dan
Orlovsky threw one touchdown
pass and the key block on an
80-yard TD run, leading the
Colts to their first win of the
season.
Indianapolis (1-13) avoided
becoming the second team in
NFL history to go 0-16. The
loss dealt a serious blow to the
Titans playoff hopes. Quarter-
back Matt Hasselbeck was
picked off twice and Chris
Johnson rushed for only 55
yards for Tennessee (7-7).
Orlovsky gave Indy a 10-6
lead with an 18-yard TD pass to
Reggie Wayne in the third
quarter, and Jacob Lacey made
it 17-6 with a 32-yard intercep-
tion return for a TD.
Jake Locker got the Titans
within 20-13 with a 7-yard TD
pass to Nate Washington with
3:43 to go. But on the next play
from scrimmage, with Donald
Brown reversing field, Orlov-
sky threw a block that helped
Brown get to the corner and
sprint 80 yards to seal the win.

SAN DIEGO Philip Rivers
threw for one score and reac-

fourth straight season, Ryan
Mathews ran for two scores
and hit 1,000 yards rushing,
and the San Diego Chargers
kept their slim postseason
hopes alive with a victory
against the playoff-bound Balti-
more Ravens.
The Chargers (7-7) neutral-
ized Baltimores normally
ferocious defense, which got
Ray Lewis back after a four-
game injury absence, and
scored on six of their first
seven possessions. San Diego
is tied with Oakland, a game
behind Denver with two to
play. San Diego has won three
straight after a six-game losing
streak.
Patriots 41, Broncos 23
DENVER Tom Brady and
the Patriots shut down Tim
Tebow and clinched a playoff
berth with their sixth straight
victory.
The Patriots (11-3) won
another AFC East title by
bouncing back from an early
17-6 deficit and an awful first
quarter in which they were
outgained on the ground 167
yards to 4.
This time, there was no
last-minute magic from Tebow,
Denvers enigmatic quarter-
back who had guided the Bron-
cos (8-6) to four straight
fourth-quarter comebacks and
six straight wins.

OAKLAND, Calif. Mat-

yards for the go-ahead TD in

Hanie was hit hard on the play
by K.J. Wright and threw the
ball right into Bryants arms as
Seattle (7-7) scored two TDs in
a 50-second span early in the
third quarter. Brandon Brown-
er returned another intercep-

final quarter as the Seahawks
outscored Chicago 31-0 in the
second half.
Saints 42, Vikings 20
MINNEAPOLIS Drew
Brees threw for 412 yards and
five touchdowns to New Or-
leans to its sixth win in a row.

record for yards passing with
two games to play.
Panthers 28, Texans 13

MISSED FIELD GOALSBaltimore, Cundiff 36
(WR). San Diego, Novak 37 (WR).
The Patriots own the AFC
East title again.
New England won its ninth
division crown in the 11 sea-
sons Tom Brady has been the
starting quarterback, beating
Denver 41-23 on Sunday. The
Patriots (11-3) are in position
to gain a first-round playoff bye
or even home-field advantage
in the AFC, especially with
South division winner Hous-
ton falling to10-4 with a loss to
Carolina.
Baltimore and Pittsburgh,
who were tied for the AFC
North lead at 10-3 heading into
Week 15, also earned postsea-
son berths before even taking
the field. The Ravens, who
were at San Diego at night, got
in thanks to losses by the Jets,
Raiders and Titans. The Steel-
ers, who play Monday night at
San Francisco, used a similar
route.
Never gets old, defensive
lineman Vince Wilfork said of
the Patriots big win. You
work so hard the whole year to
get to just one step. Thats just
one of them. To come out divi-
sion champs, thats awesome.
Inthe NFC, GreenBay (13-1)
finally lost but already has the
North crown and a first-round
bye. The Packers need one
more victory to clinch home-
field advantage throughout the
conference playoffs. The 49ers
(10-3) already have won the
West and are battling New Or-
leans (11-3), which leads the
South, for the other first-round
bye.
The Saints have a two-game
division lead over Atlanta and
play the Falcons in New Or-
leans on Dec. 26.
Dallas (8-6) grabbed back
the NFCEast lead when it beat
Tampa Bay and the Giants lost
to Washington. Still, the Gi-
ants (7-7) will win the division
if they sweep their final two
games, against the Jets and
Cowboys. Barring that, Dallas
takes the division.

S P O R T S
SAN FRANCISCO When
members of San Franciscos dom-
inant defensive line step into
their meeting room, they might
start off by discussing life away
from football or any personal is-
sue someone is facing. Theres
usually some clowning around
enough that Ricky Jean Fran-
cois has referred to this intense,
close-knit group as Looney
Tunes.
The one thing thats never
mentioned is an impressive
streak that has gone largely un-
noticed during San Franciscos
remarkable turnaround season:
The defense hasnt allowed a sin-
gle rushing touchdown this year.
If the 49ers (10-3) can keep the
AFC power Pittsburgh Steelers
(10-3) out of the end zone on the
ground Monday night, they will
become the first teamin NFLhis-
tory to do so in the first 14 games.
We take pride in stopping the
run, defensive end Justin Smith
said. We dont get into that. I re-
ally dont know how many its
been to be honest with you. Its
just one of those things, were in
the business of trying to win a
football game, not necessarily
streaks or stats or anything like
that. The main thing is stop the
run and give our team a chance
to win, and thats what were all
about.
San Francisco also hasnt al-
lowed a 100-yard rusher in 35
straight games though Pitts-
burghs Rashard Mendenhall,
with his eight rushing touch-
downs, will be determined to try
to break one of those streaks.
And Pittsburgh will certainly
look to run more if quarterback
Ben Roethlisberger doesnt play
or is limited because of an ankle
injury that forced him to wear a
walking boot during the week.
He is listed as questionable to
play.
Its not something thats talk-
ed about but they do take a lot of
pride in it, 49ers coach Jim Har-
baugh said. I think the way our
guys, our coaches, our team ap-
proach it, is how it plays in to sit-
uational football, how it helps us
to accomplish the one and only
thing we want to accomplish and
thats be a winning defense. Win
the next game. Its a big factor be-
ing able to contain an opponents
running game, to shut down an
opponents running game. To
keep them out of the end zone.
One key component in the
units success has been Jim Tom-
sula, who led the 49ers to a sea-
son-ending victory as interim
head coach after Mike Singleta-
rys firing last season before be-
ing retained on Harbaughs staff.
Tomsula regularly wears a true
blue-collar shirt with his name
stitched into it, fitting perfectly
into Harbaughs approach of be-
ing a blue-collar team and not a
Hollywood team.
As much fun as Tomsulas
group has, these guys are quick
to turn it on when the time
comes. And theyre not above
calling each other to task when
necessary.
Well be in the locker room
laughing, and well sit over there
in practice and laugh and have a
cut-up before practice starts,
Tomsula said. And youll see
them, watch their demeanor, it
goes from boom to boom. Its
just, boom! And Im not saying
the world of D-linemen is a nor-
mal place. Its not. And I get all
that its the Muppets and
bouncing off the walls, but its
like, Bam! Youre on! If you ever
see those kids in kindergarten,
some of the kids take the colors
and they put nice colors up and
they try to draw squares. I think
all the guys in my room were the
ones with a big mess, a blob of
stuff, you know? Thats kind of
the way it all is, because its nuts
in there! Its crazy! Stuffs flying
around and youre like: Whoa
man! Boom! Thats just the way
it is. And they fit, but its not for
everybody.
Maybe thats why Steelers
coach Mike Tomlin called the
49ers defense a tough nut to
crack.
San Francisco has the top-
ranked run D in the NFL, while
Pittsburgh owns the No. 1 pass
defense.
The Niners are the only team
not to allow a rushing touch-
down.

Pittsburgh Steelers
at San Francisco 49ers
8:30 p.m. today, ESPN
son.
That scenario would leave all
three teams tied for the top at
8-8. But the Eagles would cap-
ture the NFC East crown by vir-
tue of sweeping the two-game
season series against Dallas in
head-to-head competition and
completing a 5-1 run through
the East Division, which would
top the Giants 3-3 mark.
Thats amazing, Eagles cor-
nerback Nnamdi Asomugha
said. I just couldnt believe we
had a chance. Its amazing to
see, with how slow we started,
theres still a chance this late in
the season.
The Eagles didnt give the
Jets much opportunity Sunday.
Philadelphia fired out of the
gates, stunning the Jets by scor-
ing touchdowns on three
straight possessions to take a
28-0 lead and extending its ad-
vantage to 45-13 by putting up
points during three of the first
four times the Eagles offense
touched the ball in the second
half.
Shocked, I guess, Jets coach
Rex Ryan said he felt.
The performance was even
moreawe-inspiringthantheone
that rattled his brother Rob
Ryan, the Cowboys defensive
coordinator who was flattened
during Philadelphias 34-7 drub-
bing of Dallas on Oct. 30 at Lin-
coln Financial Field.
Were an attack defense,
said Eagles defensive end Jason
Babin, who became the 10th
NFL player in history and first
Philadelphia defender to record
at least three or more sacks by
spending the whole day drop-
pingJets quarterbackMarkSan-
chez. Thats our mindset.
If only the Eagles played this
way consistently, more than
keeping playoff hopes alive
would be on their minds.
You want to be able to play
for a playoff spot, said Eagles
tight end Brent Celek, who had
a career day with 156 receiving
yards - the most for a Philadel-
phia tight end since 1962.
Thats what were here for. We
want to win a Super Bowl.
Suddenly, suchbigdreams for
a Philadelphia roster dubbed
the Dream Team after a pre-
season signing spree of Pro
Bowl players doesnt sound like
such a pipe dream anymore.
Not after McCoy scored on
touchdown runs of 9, 1 and 33
yards to give him 17 rushing
touchdowns for the season -
breaking Steve Van Burens sin-
gle-season Eagles record of 15
set in 1945. Not after quarter-
back Michael Vick tortured the
vaunted Jets defense with 274
passing yards - including a 26-
yardtouchdownstrike toCelek-
and got loose for 32 more rush-
ing yards. Not after the Eagles
forced four turnovers and drop-
ped Sanchez for four sacks.
Theres nothing you can do
about the past, Vick said. The
past is the past and the present
is the present. Just continue to
live in the moment.
The biggest moments for the
Eagles started with defense
Sunday.
Safety Kurt Colemanstripped
a pass away from Jets receiver
Santonio Holmes, and Eagles
defensive end Juqua Parker
picked up the fumble and rum-
bled for a 47-yard touchdown
and a 7-0 Philadelphia lead in
the first quarter.
Heyman, I have a little some-
thing in me, laughed Parker,
who scored his second defen-
sive touchdown of this season
and third of his career. I have a
little speed in me. I just saw the
ball on the ground, picked it up
and went in and scored.
Im enjoying it, man.
The day of laughs had just be-
gan for the Eagles.
They got the ball back when
Asante Samuel picked off a de-
flectedpass, andCelek cashedit
in with a superb one-handed tip
to himself while snaring Vicks
26-yard touchdown pass late in
the opening quarter.
Vick found the end zone him-
self on an 11-yard touchdown
run to polish off a 57-yard touch-
down march on Philadelphias
next possession. And when San-
chezfumbledawayathird-down
play, McCoy made the Jets pay
by darting up the middle for a
nine-yard touchdown run and a
28-0 Eagles lead.
We made too many mis-
takes, a bewildered Sanchez
said. We just got out-played.
The Eagles kept playing for
their playoff lives.
They survived a brief rally by
the Jets - who pulled within 28-
13 on Nick Folk field goals of 39
and 28 yards wrapped around a
25-yard touchdown pass by San-
chez - then put a stamp on victo-
ry after halftime.
Celek got free for a 73-yard
catch-and-run, setting up
McCoys one-yard touchdown
dash and Alex Henery followed
with a 28-yard field goal late in
the third quarter. McCoy
openedthefourthwitha33-yard
touchdown sprint for a 45-13
Philadelphia lead, before Plaxi-
co Burress closed the scoring
with a diving 9-yard touchdown
catch for the Jets with 9:40 to
play.
Theyve got a good football
team, a really good football
team, Eagles coach Andy Reid
said. Theyll rebound next
week.
At least, the Eagles hope so,
since a Giants victory over the
Jets - or a defeat in Dallas -
would sending Philadelphias
playoff plans flying before the
season finale.
We need to beat the Cow-
boys, right? McCoy asked. No
one, these past fewgames, even
gave us a chance. It just shows
you the type of fight we have.
Now, the Eagles plan to keep
punching to the end.
Weve just got to play togeth-
er as ateamandgoout thereand
fight, Celek said. It feels good
that were alive. Thats all you
can ask for at this time.

earned him first-team status on a
bevy of postseason all-star teams,
including Associated Press All-
America teamhonors last week.
No, no, Im keeping count,
Still said last week in an interview
after learning of his AP All-Amer-
ica honors.
For the record, thats 10 first-
teamhonors for Still as of Sunday.
His accomplishments, though,
have been lost somewhat to the
scrutiny the program has encoun-
teredoff thefieldthat havenothing
to do with the players themselves.
Penn State (9-3) is preparing to
face No. 20 Houston in the Ticket-
City Bowl on Jan. 2.
Retired assistant coach Jerry
Sandusky was charged Nov. 5 a
week before Penn States home fi-
nale against Nebraska with the
first set of child sex-abuse charges
that dated back to 1994. School
trustees fired Hall of Fame coach
Joe Paterno days later, amid
mounting pressure on trustees
that school leaders should have
done more to prevent alleged
abuse.
Sandusky, who pleaded not
guiltylast week, hasrequestedaju-
ry trial. Paterno testified before a
grand jury investigating the charg-
es, but he is not a target of the
probe.
Interim coach Tom Bradley,
who has guided the Nittany Lions
(9-3)sincePaternosdismissal, has
given lots of leeway to his players
like co-captain Still to take owner-
ship of a tumultuous season.
For Still, its a leadership role he
assumeda year agoas a junior pre-
paring for the Outback Bowl
against Florida. That turnedout to
be one of the best games of his ca-
reer with seven tackles 3.5 for
losses in the 37-24 loss to the
Gators.
Still might bestoic andreserved
in front of TV cameras, but his
voiceisheardloudandclearonthe
practice field.
Imgoingtorememberhimand
thank him for his great leadership
off the field with the players, the
way hes handled the team, Bra-
dley said last month. And what
happens is nobody gets to see that
side of it. They just see himon the
field. Hespendsalot of timeinthat
locker roomoff thefieldcommuni-
cating, making sure were on the
right page.
Still is quick to share the credit
though with his fellow captains,
safety Drew Astorino, left tackle
QuinnBarhamandreceiver Derek
Moye.
I think me stepping up at the
Outback Bowl ... really prepared
me for the thing we facedthis year
byjust keepingtheteamontrack,
Still said. But I cant takecredit for
it myself because I had fellowcap-
tainsthat helpedthisteamconcen-
trate on football.
But football is far from the only
concern for the likely NFL first-
rounddraft pick. Besides finishing
hisdegree, Still isalsotheproudfa-
ther of 19-month-old daughter
Leah; Still and his longtime girl-
friend Channing Smythe, raise
Leah in an off-campus apartment.
Daughter Leah, her proud fa-
ther said, is finally sleepingsound-
ly through the night.
Its been quite the experience,
Still said last month about father-
hood. Itshelpedmetomaturefas-
ter and become a man, to do as
much for my family as I can ...
Thats the reason I go out every
SaturdayandplayashardasI can.
STILL
picked up a couple of first downs
to secure the victory.
They had a good game plan,
Rodgers said. You have to give
them credit.
Ryan Succop kicked four field
goals for Kansas City (6-8),
which had lost five of its last six
games and fired coach Todd Ha-
ley last Monday. Jackie Battle
added a short touchdown plunge
with 4:53 left in the game, points
that came in handy when Rodg-
ers led one last scoring drive.
Everybody had marked it off
as a win for the Packers, but
those guys in the locker room,
theyre football players, Crennel
said. They decided they were
not going to lay down, they were
not going to give up, so they
went out and played a tremen-
dous game.
Neither team looked all that
tremendous in the first half.
Packers wide receiver Jordy
Nelson was hit twice with offen-
sive pass interference, Rodgers
was harassed by the Chiefs weak
pass rush, and Green Bay wound
up making five first downs.
One of them came when Kan-
sas Citys Jeremy Horne ran into
Packers punter Tim Masthay,
giving them 15 free yards. The
Chiefs tried to give Green Bay
another gift later on the drive
when Mason Crosby missed a 59-
yard field goal attempt but Kan-
sas City had 12 men on the field.
With another chance from 54
yards, the normally reliable Cros-
by still pushed the kick right.
Rodgers finished the half 6 of
17 for 59 yards, with a handful of
drops between wide receiver Do-
nald Driver and tight end Jermi-
chael Finley. In fact, things were
going so badly for Green Bay
that at one point it ran out of the
wildcat despite having one of the
best quarterbacks in the game.
The Chiefs were still clinging
to a 6-0 lead when Rodgers final-
ly hit down field, finding Finley
over top the coverage for a 41-
yard gain. Three plays later, the
Packers star quarterback hit
Driver in the corner of the end
zone for a 7-6 lead with 8:04 left
in the third quarter.
Kansas City answered when
Orton hit his own tight end, Leo-
nard Pope, for a career-long 38-
yard catch. Jon Baldwin added a
17-yard grab to set up Succops
46-yard, go-ahead field goal.
The Packers moved into field-
goal range on their ensuing
drive, but rather than have Cros-
by attempt a 56-yard kick in the
same direction he had already
missed, McCarthy elected to go
for it on fourth-and-9. Rodgers
pass fell incomplete and the
Chiefs took over.
They needed seven plays to
cover 59 yards, but had to settle
for another field goal and a 12-7
lead. It was the third time the
Chiefs drove inside the 5 and had
six total points to show for it.
They got seven on their next
trip, though.
With first-and-goal at the 5,
Thomas Jones managed to gain a
yard and LeRon McClain bulled
ahead for three more, setting up
third down from just outside the
goal line. Battle took the carry
over the right side and powered
into the end zone, giving the
woeful Kansas City offense its
highest-scoring game since the
Chiefs beat San Diego in over-
time in late October.
PACKERS
Today was obviously a good
feelingtogetbackontheicewith
theboys... andget alittleskating
and little sweat, Giroux said. I
mean, if I keep feeling the way I
amright now, Ill go back on the
ice, go on the bike, and get back
in shape and hopefully get
back onthe ice soon.
Asked if a return for the Jan. 2
Winter Classic was realistic, Gi-
roux said: I dont look into de-
tails. ... With a concussion, you
cant really predict when youre
goingtocome back, soyouwait,
and Ill see how I feel when I
wake up (Monday). Usually its
the next day that you knowhow
youfeel inthe morning.
Despite missing the last three
games, Giroux shares the NHL
leadwith39 points.
Giroux said he felt much bet-
ter than the last time he tried to
skate, which was without the
team.
Its a different story. I really
didnt feel goodthelast timeand
was kind of dizzy and stuff, he
said. I understand its just a
process, and you have to be pa-
tient withthis.
When you see what has hap-
pened to Pittsburghs Sidney
Crosby who has missed most
of the last two seasons with con-
cussionsyouwant tobecare-
ful and make sure when you
come back, youre 100 percent,
Giroux said. I think its early in
the season to jump (back into
playing) whenyoure not feeling
100percent. Obviously, I want to
playandhelptheteam, butIhave
to be patent.
Giroux said every day is a lit-
tle better and that his headach-
es were pretty muchdone.
This is the second concussion
of Girouxs NHLcareer. In 2008,
hewasconcussedonJan. 2when
struck by Corey Perrys stick in
Anaheim, Calif. Giroux missed
thenext fivegamesandwasback
inthe lineup13 days later.

showers will kick
in on Wednesday
along with
cloudy skies.
Thursday will be
partly to mostly
cloudy with the
possibility of an

Flurries are pos-
sible late in the
evening and may
continue into
Christmas morn-
ing.

Oklahoma, while snow will be likely to the northwest of the storm system. A mix of rain and snow will
fall over the Southwest. Showers will fall along a cold front from the Eastern Great Lakes to the cen-
tral Plains, with snow over portions of northern New England.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: My
boyfriend and I have
been living together
for nine months. We
have decided to host
Christmas dinner
at our house and in-
vited 20 people 10
from each of our families. His mother,
unfortunately, is having a hard time
accepting that her 27-year-old son is
growing up.
She says she feels awkward and
that their family has had its tradi-
tions for many years. (My boyfriend
has spent every Christmas Eve and
Christmas night at his parents house
since birth.)
Any suggestions for dealing with
this potential future mother-in-law?
Free Spirit in Phoenix
Dear Free Spirit: First of all, dont
plan on your boyfriends parents at-
tending your Christmas dinner. She
may be unwilling to change their
Christmas tradition.
If and when a wedding date is set,
or your boyfriend makes clear to her
that your arrangement will be perma-
nent, the three of you can then come
to an agreement to alternate these
holidays so you and your parents are
able to also host these gatherings.
Dear Abby: I have been with my fi-
ance for two years. Lately hes been
having trouble controlling his anger.
His outbursts are becoming more
frequent, and he feels like theyre
justified. He says if I didnt nag
him so much there wouldnt be any
arguments.
I love him and want to spend the
rest of my life with him, but Im be-
coming frightened by the level he al-
lows his anger to reach. Can you help
a man like this deal with his anger?
Needs Help in North Carolina
Dear Needs Help: No, and neither
can you, as much as you might wish
to. Only he can do that, and it would
take willingness on his part and coun-
seling. Blaming you for his outbursts
indicates hes not ready to do that.
The smartest thing you can do is
leave before he escalates to hurting
you physically. Without professional
help, the behavior you have described
will only get worse.
Dear Abby: I have an elderly neigh-
bor I have been friends with for many
years. Over the past several years she
has had numerous medical problems.
I have done everything I can to be her
friend. She has no family and only
one other friend besides me.
She is depressed and stays in bed
most of the day, which contributes
to her aches and pains. I keep telling
her she needs to get up and walk or
her pain will get worse. It has reached
the point where shes so nasty about
everything that I dont even want to
talk to her.
She turns everything into an argu-
ment. I dont know what to do. I hate
to ignore her, but its really taking a
toll on me. Am I a fair-weather friend?
Trying to Be a Good Neighbor in
Massachusetts
Dear Good Neighbor: No, you are
a caring friend. Your elderly neigh-
bor is ill, and she may be becoming
demented. Because she is no longer
able to care for herself or her home,
contact the nearest hospital or senior
center and ask to speak with a social
worker on staff. The woman you de-
scribe may need more help than you
can give her.
DEAR ABBY

To receive a collection of Abbys most

quested poems and essays, send a busi-

Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.
(Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
recognize that you have needs.
Finding healthy ways to meet
them brings fun into your world.
In many ways, you are more self-
sufficient than youve ever been.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There
is still something standing in the
way of what you want to accom-
plish. You will overcome it its
just a matter of time. Youll
chip away at the problem this
morning.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You make
relationships look effortless,
but that is a skillful illusion that
takes practice and planning to
pull off. The fact is that regular
connection requires special care
and planning.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Youll
spend some time becoming more
organized with a particular goal.
Write down the steps involved so
you will know how close you are
getting to achieving this aim.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youll make
a concerted effort to interact in
a positive way with the ones you
love. This becomes a kind of Zen
exercise, as it requires that you
overlook the critical and interfer-
ing input that some loved ones
cant seem to hold back.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
need something from your loved
ones, but not gifts. What you
want is time to yourself to do
what you want to do without
the constant obligation of taking
care of those around you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People
who have full spiritual lives are
happier than those who dont
have a specific type of belief.
Whatever you believe, youll
believe it more deeply now.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The
only thing standing between
you and a certain very desirable
reality is the occasional mental
interruption of the false thought
that you were not meant to have
what you really want out of life.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Every day you try to make the
world a better place than it was
before you arrived. Today you
will accomplish this through
humble but meaningful acts.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
tell the truth whenever youre
sure it wont hurt someone else.
And when youre sure that it will,
you find other things to focus
on. You understand the harm
done by senseless honesty.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Theres an Italian proverb that
suggests that one friend is
worth a thousand relatives.
There is something wonderful
to be said for the people you
choose to align with.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When
your health is good and your
heart is light, theres little you
cant do. Youll start early in the
morning, fixing things, clean-
ing up and organizing your life
toward an even brighter future.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Dec. 19)
Youll have vivid experiences
enjoying entertainment with a
crowd. In January, youll partici-
pate in an organization that will
support your goals in regards to
health and well-being. In March,
finances take a turn for the bet-
ter. Youll cross a thrilling goal
off your list in June. Cancer and
Gemini people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 9, 14, 31, 24
and 29.
