Property owners in 17 Lu-
zerne County municipalities
will pay higher local taxes this
year in addition to the countys
2 percent tax hike, a review of
2012 millage rates shows.
Taxes in the remaining 59
municipalities will stay the
same.
Slocum Township retains its
status as the only county munic-
ipality with no local property
taxes. Township officials have
forced the municipality to sur-
vive on state liquid fuel and
wage tax revenue.
Its the peoples money, not
ours, said township Supervisor
Charles Herring.
Herring provided an example
of this frugality. The township
had installed a base for a pavil-
ion in the municipal park with
plans to construct the pavilion
this year, but the project was
postponed because the town-
ship needs that money to buy
new $3,000 emergency response
radios made obsolete by a gov-
ernment radio bandwidth
change, he said.
We buy what we afford, and
what we cant we make do with-
out, Herring said.

NEWORLEANS Spill 4.1million bar-
rels of oil into the ocean, and this is what
you get: the lollapalooza, labyrinthine,
mega-mother of all law-
suits.
It encompasses 72 mil-
lion pages of documents,
20,000 exhibits and 303
depositions the col-
lective effort of hundreds
of lawyers and legal
workers.
It involves the Justice
Department and about
120,000 plaintiffs: angry
fishermen, restaura-
teurs, state governments
and condo owners who
say their beach-side
property is not worth what it once was.
The trial phase, set to begin Feb. 27 in a
New Orleans federal courtroom, could go
on for nine months.
That is, unless it is averted by the mega-
mother of all legal settlements.
It goes bythe formal title "InRe: Oil Spill
by the Oil Rig Deepwater Horizon in the
Gulf of Mexico on April 20, 2010." And
much like the disaster itself, the litigation
is startling in its impact and scope, involv-
ing billions of dollars of potential fines and
damages, arcane matters of maritime law
and Space Age details of deep-sea engi-
neering.

Dominick Ardo is a non-smoker,
and he appreciates the smoke-free
atmosphere inside his Plains Pub
on Carey Street.
But he wishes all his competitors
would play by the same rules and
be required to prohibit smoking.
More than three years after the
states Clean Indoor Air Act went
into effect, Pennsylvania smokers
are still puffing away inside nearly
3,000 bars and social clubs and ev-
ery one of the states 10 operating
casinos.

Dominick Ardo stands in his Plains Pub near a No Smoking sign. The Plains Pub is a smoke-free establishment, but Ardo says his competitors

Jay Fetor of Wilkes-Barre Twp. smokes a cigarette at Gondas Elbow

Gonda, a non-smoker, would love
to see all bars go smoke-free, in-
cluding his own. But, he said, the
bar business reality is that smok-
ing means more business.
To the chagrin of the downtown
Wilkes-Barre businessman, the
arguments over loopholes in the
Clean Indoor Air Act continue
more than three years after it be-
came law.

SUGARLOAF TWP. Toy enthusi-
asts gathered on Saturday morning at
the 18th annual Toy Show of the Sugar-
loaf Volunteer Fire Department.
About 200 buyers walked through the
fire company to look at toys ranging in
value from a few dollars to several
hundred dollars.
The toy showis one of the fire depart-
ments annual fund raising events, said
Fire Chief Duane Hildebrand. He said
any fundraising is very important to
maintain the fire department function-
ing.
Its very expensive to run a fire de-
partment, Hildebrand said.
It is especially expensive when the
fire company is as busy as it has been
lately, he said. Last year, the company
answered 599 calls and so far in 2012,
more than 100, he added.
The company has about150members
with about 30 actively involved in fire-
fighting and rescue, he said. They cur-
rently maintain a fleet that includes fire
trucks, a tanker and ambulance.
One dozen vendors put out their toy
displays for viewing. There were toys
for girls and boys, young and old. Many
of the toys were still in their original
packaging; some were decades old and
very rare. There were toy cars, metal
trucks, farm tractors, dolls, games, mo-
vie and television themed assortments

On Saturday, childrens dental health
was the focus of two of the Luzerne
County Community Colleges outreach
programs. One was located at the
Wyoming Valley Mall and the other at
the colleges dental clinic in Nanticoke.
At the mall, college faculty and den-
tal assistant students teamed up with
members of the Luzerne County Den-
tal Society for the
annual Dental
Day for children
from ages 3 to 16.
Organizer Dr.
John Evans and
three other local
dentists perform-
ed oral screening
and the children
met tooth fair-
ies who talked to
them about prop-
er dental health.
The children also
played games,
won prizes and
learned about
how visiting the
dentist is nothing
to fear.
Evans, who has
been involved in the annual event for
20 years, said the most important
message being imparted at the event
was for parents to start to pay atten-
tion to their childrens teeth early on.
They should take their children to
see a dentist as early as age 2 or soon-
er if they see something not normal
with their teeth or gums, Evans
stressed.
Some parents can do a better job of
preventive care, he added.
They should help their children start
brushing or wiping clean their teeth as

FORTY FORT Two hundred bike
riders came out for the 11th Annual
Spin 4 Life at Candys Place Cancer
Wellness Center on Saturday.
This years event proceeds will ben-
efit the free programs at Candys
Place and the Brandon J. Case Memo-
rial Scholarship.
Brandons stepfather, Paul Zbiek
pledged to spin for 33 continuous
hours to honor what would have been
Brandons 33rd birthday. Case died in
1999 after a three-year battle with
leukemia.
Zbiek began spinning at 10 a.m. on
Friday and ended his personal mara-
thon at 7 p.m. on Saturday.
According to center coordinator
Nicole Farber, Candys Place pro-
vides free support services to local
cancer patients. The centers list of
services includes various support
groups for patients and their fam-
ilies, exercise programs as well as
massage and Reiki therapy.

KINGSTON Fresh from a four-
mile run in Kirby Park early Saturday
morning, Wilkes University biology
Professor Dr. WilliamTerzaghi greet-
ed fellow runner and 2010 Wilkes
graduate Neil Kocher, 23, at the top
of the dike.
Braving the biting wind, the two
men tried to stay warm as they took
part in the eighth annual Relay for
Heat.
Kocher, a second year medical stu-
dent at Temple University, said he
has participated in the race for the
past six years.
Sponsored by the Wilkes Running
Club, the relay helped to raise money
for the Martin Luther King Fuel
Fund, administered by the Commis-
sion on Economic Opportunity, for
people who cant afford to pay their
heating bills. The bitter cold weather
seemed appropriate as more than 25
participants tookpart inthe fundrais-
er, which included members of the
Running Club, other Wilkes stu-
dents, faculty, staff and members of
the community.
Participants each ran four miles
back and forth along the dike
throughout the day until they reac-
hed a combined total of 100 miles.
Terzaghi kicked off the race at 6 a.m.
Im embarrassed to say that I ran
it in 35 minutes, he said, pointing
out that his usual time is 30 minutes.
My wife (Vivien) and I thought a
100-mile run in the middle of winter
would be a good way to raise aware-
ness that a lot of people in Luzerne
County need help keeping warm,
said Terzaghi, who is the Running
Clubs adviser.
Vivien is the office manager for the
First Presbyterian Church in Wilkes-
Barre, which partners with the CEO
for the MLK Fuel Fund and other
charitable programs.
More than $2,500 raised from last
years race helpedroughly80families
stay warm. The fund is tapped out
this year, however, said Terzaghi.
Fuel oil is extremely expensive
now, he said. So anyone who is us-
ing fuel oil is really in trouble.

DETROIT
WWII vet attacked, ignored
A
World War II veteran says nobody
helped him after he was attacked
and carjacked in daylight at a Detroit
gas station.
A roughly four-minute surveillance
video obtained by the Detroit Free
Press shows 86-year-old Aaron Brantley
crawling from a fuel pump to the sta-
tions door as people walk and drive by
him.
Brantley told the newspaper a man
knocked him down, took his keys and
drove off in his car Wednesday morn-
ing. He says at least four people walked
by as he crawled, unable to walk be-
cause his leg was broken.
Station manager Haissam Jaber says
he didnt see the attack but called 911
after a customer alerted him. A cus-
tomer drove Brantley home, from
where an ambulance took him to the
hospital.
Police say nobody has been arrested.
ABBOTTABAD, PAKISTAN
Osama house coming down
Under powerful floodlights and sur-
rounded by rings of soldiers and police,
heavy machines began Saturday night
to demolish the three-story compound
in northwestern Pakistan where Osama
bin Laden lived for years and was killed
by U.S. commandos last May.
Pakistan was outraged by the covert
American raid in Abbottabad because it
was not told about it beforehand a
decision the U.S. explained was driven
by concerns that someone in the gov-
ernment might tip off bin Laden. Many
Pakistanis were angry the U.S. violated
its territory and that Pakistani troops
were powerless to stop American sol-
diers from attacking a compound locat-
ed next to the countrys military acade-
my.
Just as U.S. Navy SEALs waited for
the cover of darkness to descend on bin
Ladens compound by helicopter from
Afghanistan, Pakistani authorities held
off on tearing it down Saturday until
the sun had set, said local residents.
DAMASCUS, SYRIA
Syria rips Saudi Arabia
Syria lashed out at Saudi Arabia on
Saturday, a day after the kingdoms
foreign minister backed the idea of
arming the rebels fighting President
Bashar Assads regime, accusing Saudi
Arabia of becoming a partner in the
bloodshed in Syria.
The sharp reply from Damascus,
which was published in a state-run
newspaper, came as activists said at
least 77 people were killed across the
country and regime forces pounded
rebel-held neighborhoods in the central
city of Homs.
The International Committee of the
Red Cross said it had failed Saturday to
gain access to the besieged neigh-
borhood of Baba Amr in the city of
Homs for a second day to evacuate
wounded civilians.
WASHINGTON
Hinckley seeks more liberty
The man who tried to kill President
Ronald Reagan over 30 years ago said
he would like to be known as some-
thing other than a would-be assassin.
John Hinckley made the statement
to a doctor who interviewed him in the
past year at a Washington mental hos-
pital. That and other pieces of informa-
tion about Hinckleys life are part of
hundreds of pages of documents pre-
pared for hearings in Hinckleys case.
Hinckley, who shot and wounded
Reagan in 1981, is seeking more free-
dom from the hospital. He has been
allowed to visit his mothers home in
Williamsburg, Va., for up to 10 days at a
time. Government attorneys believe his
trips should remain at 10 days.
A jury found Hinckley to be insane
when he shot Reagan. He has spent
most of the past three decades at St.
Elizabeths Hospital in Washington. In
recent years, doctors have said his
mental illness has been in remission.

KABUL, Afghanistan A
gunman killed two American
military advisers with shots
to the back of the head Sat-
urday inside a heavily guard-
ed ministry building, and NA-
TO ordered military workers
out of Afghan ministries as
protests raged for a fifth day
over the burning of copies of
the Quran at a U.S. army
base.
The Taliban claimed re-
sponsibility for the Interior
Ministry attack, saying it was
retaliation for the Quran
burnings, after the U.S. ser-
vicemen a lieutenant colo-
nel and a major were
found dead on the floor of an
office that only people who
know a numerical combina-
tion can get into, Afghan and
Western officials said.
The top commander of U.S.
and NATO forces recalled all
international military person-
nel from the ministries, an
unprecedented action in the
decade-long war that high-
lights the growing friction be-
tween Afghans and their for-
eign partners at a critical
juncture in the war.
The U.S.-led coalition is
trying to mentor and streng-
then Afghan security forces
so they can lead the fight
against the Taliban and for-
eign troops can go home.
That mission, however, re-
quires a measure of trust at a
time when anti-Western senti-
ment is at an all-time high.
Afghan Defense Minister
Gen. Abdul Rahim Wardak
called U.S. Defense Secretary

WASHINGTON An Israeli
pre-emptive attack on Irans nu-
clear sites could drawthe U.S. in-
to a newMideast conflict, a pros-
pect dreaded by a war-weary Pen-
tagon wary of new entangle-
ments.
That could mean pressing into
service the top tier of American
firepower warplanes, war-
ships, special operations forces
and possibly airborne infantry
with unpredictable outcomes in
one of the worlds most volatile
regions.
Israel can commence a war
with Iran, but it may well take
U.S. involvement to conclude it,
says KarimSadjadpour, a Middle
East specialist at the Carnegie
Endowment for International
Peace.
An armed clash with Iran is far
from certain.
Diplomacy
backed by in-
creasingly
tough econom-
ic penalties is
still seen by the
United States
and much of the
rest of the world
as worth pursu-
ing for now, not
least because
the other op-
tions going
towar or simply
doing nothing
are consid-
ered more risky.
Israel, however, worries that
Iran soon could enter a zone of
immunity inwhichenoughof its
nuclear materials are beyond the
reach of Israeli air power so that
Iran could not be stopped, or per-
haps couldbe stoppedonly by su-
perior American firepower.
If Israels American-made
strike planes managed to pene-
trate Iranian air space and bomb
Irans main nuclear facilities,
some of which are underground,
then Iran would be expected to
retaliate in any number of ways.
Iran could fire Shahab-3 ballistic
missiles at Israeli targets.
Iran might take a less direct ap-
proach, relying on its Hezbollah
allies in Lebanon or Hamas mil-
itants in Gaza to hit Israel with
missiles from closer range.
Iran also might block the Strait
of Hormuz, a key transit route for
the worlds oil tankers. It could
attack nearby Bahrain, home to
the U.S. Navys 5th Fleet. In ei-
ther of these scenarios, the U.S.
military almost certainly would
hit back.
Uncertainty about Iranian re-
taliation, as well as the cascade of
potential consequences if the
U.S. got drawn into the conflict,
is at the core of U.S. officials ra-
tionale for publicly casting doubt
on the wisdom of Israeli military
action now.

JOHANNESBURG Former South
African President Nelson Mandela was
hospitalizedSaturday for a test todeter-
mine what is behind an undisclosed
stomach ailment, and the countrys cur-
rent leader said the much beloved 93-
year-old icon was in no danger.
Mandela, a Nobel peace laureate who
spent 27 years in prison for fighting rac-
ist white rule, has officially retired and
last appeared in public in July 2010. He
became South Africas first black presi-
dent in 1994 and served one five-year
term.
Mandela has had a long-standing ab-
dominal complaint and doctors feel it
needs proper specialist medical atten-
tion, President Jacob Zuma said in a
statement Saturday morning, asking
that Mandelas privacy be respected.
Later, Zuma added that Mandela had
undergone a planned, undisclosed di-
agnostic procedure.
Mandela is fine and fully conscious
and the doctors are satisfied with his
condition, which they say is consistent
withhis age, Zuma said. We are happy
that he is not in any danger.

LOS ANGELES The Oscar cere-
mony has much to prove tonight, in-
cluding whether a blockbuster-free field
can draw a TV audience and if Billy
Crystals host routine remains a crowd-
pleaser.
Brian Grazer and
Don Mischer, the
shows producers, are
laughing off the chal-
lenges: Comedy is the
direction were going
in this year, said Mis-
cher.
For Crystal, who re-
turns to the ceremony
(8:30 p.m. EST, ABC) after an absence
of eight years, that means jokes and pat-
ter that were being rehearsed at the last
minute to avoid punch line leaks.
The actor also is bringing back two of
his trademark Oscar bits: A film se-
quence in which he appears via CGI in
clips from the nine best-picture conten-
ders, and a musical number that pays
tribute to the ceremony and nominees.
Its everything everybody is going to
want to see from Billy Crystal, Grazer
said. Billy was born for this job. He
loves being the host and he does it with
complete zest and enthusiasm. He
makes it fun for everybody.
Crystal has help. Presenting team
Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis have
a great gag, Grazer promised, with
more light moments planned courtesy
of co-presenters Tina Fey and Bradley
Cooper and, in a group effort, the cast
of Bridesmaids.
Presenters will be framed by a stage
set evoking a classic movie theater and
the evenings theme: the enduring na-
ture of the moviegoing experience.
The nights starring role goes to Crys-
tal, 63, who acknowledged in an Oscar-
.com video that theres so much ex-
pected of his return. He should have
the audiences goodwill in his ninth Os-
car gig since, in the best Hollywood
tradition, he came to the rescue after
Eddie Murphy dropped out as host.
Murphys exit followed that of cere-
mony producer Brett Ratner, who had
drawn fire for using a pejorative word
for gay men at a screening of Tower
Heist, directed by Ratner and starring
Murphy. Oscar-winning movie producer
Grazer (A Beautiful Mind) jumped in
to work with awards veteran Mischer.

MIAMI For the business-
man who has changed his poli-
tics, the Miami priest who tends
to an exile flock, the retired col-
lege math professor who has
searched her conscience for guid-
ance andthe lawyer whohas long
advocated reconciliation, the pil-
grimage to Cuba next month rep-
resents morethananopportunity
to see Pope Benedict XVI cele-
brate Mass.
The trip signals
hope. Hope that
the island will
open itself up to
freedom. Hope
that Miamis Cu-
ban-American
community has
maturedenoughto
consider other ap-
proaches. Hope
that the pilgrims
presence, and that
of their religious
leader, will show
the world that
change is possible.
The popes
three-day-trip,
which will com-
memorate the
400th anniversary
of the appearance
of Our Lady of
Charity, Cubas patron saint, is
bringing together faithful from
all walks of life who share one be-
lief: Benedicts visit to the com-
munist island, the second by a
pontiff in 14 years, marks one
more step in the long journey of
bringing the Cuban people to-
gether.
This, says Cuban-born Rev.
Fernando Heria, pastor of St.
Brendans Catholic Church, is an
opportunity to break myths on
bothsides. This is a pilgrimage of
love.
Many agree. Our presence is
the best testimonial, says Mar-
garita Cuervo, a parishioner at
Epiphany Catholic Church and a
professor emeritus at Miami
Dade College. Im going to ex-
press my solidarity and share my
faith and hope with the long-suf-
fering people in Cuba.
And fromMiami attorney John
de Leon, who calls his first trip to
his parents homeland in1992 life
changing: The pope is sending
an incredibly important message
to the world, and its a message
that the Vatican is willing to keep
engaging Cuba, that the world
needs to open to Cuba and Cuba
to the world.
The Archdiocese of Miami is
sponsoring the trip
to Cuba during the
popes visit, March
26-28, led by Arch-
bishop Thomas Wen-
ski. Hundreds have
applied for the trip.
Most pilgrims are
from Miami, but
faithful are coming
from all over the
country, including
New York, Los An-
geles, Boston, Tam-
pa andSt. Augustine.
Its not yet clear how
many other pilgrims,
both Cuban and non-
Cuban, will visit the
communist island on
flights through inde-
pendent charters.
One thing appears
certain, though. The
opposition that bedeviled Pope
John Paul IIs historic visit to Cu-
ba in January 1998 is not as large
or as vocal. Back then, the Arch-
diocese was forced to cancel a
cruise ship charter that was
scheduled to take thousands of
the faithful to the island. Now, 14
years later, we as a community
have matured, says Andy Go-
mez, a senior fellow for the Insti-
tute for Cuban and Cuban Amer-
ican studies at the University of
Miami. I think were more real-
istic.
Much has changed, too, on the
other side of the Florida Straits.
Fidel Castro is no longer in pow-
er, having ceded the reins to his
more pragmatic brother Raul.
And the Catholic church has be-
come a social force in the islands
society, brokering the release of
political prisoners and lobbying
to halt the harassment of some
dissidents. Democracy is not go-
ing to happen overnight, says
Gomez, who will be in Cuba for
the popes visit. But the church
also realizes it can play an impor-
tant role in the changes that are
going to come.
In Miami, Gomez, adds, some
of the entrenched hard-liners
have either died or evolved in
their stance. A growing number
of Cuban-Americans are ques-
tioning a 53-year-old failed policy
of isolation. Whats more, the
sight of enthusiastic throngs
greeting Pope John Paul 14 years
ago proved to be an eye-opening
experience for some exiles
those who were there to witness
it andthosewhorefusedtogobut
watched from Miami.
Businessman Carlos Saladri-
gas was one of them. He spear-
headed the opposition to the
church-sponsored cruise in 1998.
But after I sawthe images ontel-
evision and I heard what was be-
ing said, it was clear to me that I
had made a mistake. I realized I
wanted to be there, he says.
Those powerful images got
him thinking and talking. He
spoke at length with Father Jose
Conrado Rodriguez, an outspo-
kenpriest froma parishinSantia-
go de Cuba. Father Rodriguez is
best known for the 2009 open let-
ter he sent Raul Castro condemn-
ing the restrictions on freedoms
and the harassment of his parish-
ioners. He convinced me it was
necessary to seek a neutral proc-
ess, Saladrigas said a process
the Catholic church could facili-
tate.
Saladrigas andwife, Olga, prac-
ticing Catholics who met as teen-
agers teaching catechism classes
inMiami, will be inCuba for Ben-
edicts visit. He defends the
churchs position against those
whoclaimthat a religious institu-
tion should not play into Castros
hands. Thechurchis doingwhat
it always does, he adds. It pro-
vides moral guidance. It spreads
the gospel. This is about evange-
lization, about hope.
Saladrigas echoes the words of
other pilgrims, who say the grad-
ual opening of a totalitarian gov-
ernment bodes well. De Leon,
president of the Greater Miami
Chapter of the American Civil
Liberties Union, says Benedicts
trip the second by a pope to
the small Caribbean nation in
less than 15 years signals an
opportunity to engage the Cu-
bans on the island. De Leon also
went toCubafor PopeJohnPauls
1998 visit., a trip, he says, that
made an impact on the island.
The pope is serving as a force
for reconciliation, says de Leon,
who will be representing la Aso-
ciacion Cubana de la Orden de
Malta, a charitable Catholic
group. Im very much a believer
that when you open up doors to
faith and religion, miracles hap-
pen.
Thats alsothemessageCuban-
bornFelipeEstevez, bishopof the
Diocese of St. Augustine, is
spreading to the dozen faithful
who will accompany him to the
island in March. He calls the visit
a viaje de re-encuentro, a trip of
reunion. Its time to heal the sep-
aration between families, be-
tween Cubans, says Estevez,
who has been back to Cuba as a
priest several times. Cuba is
more than a political party. Its a
people, a society.
Estevez says he understands
why some exiles have vowed to
never return to the island as long
as the Castros are in power.
Theres been a lot of oppression,
alot of hurt. But at thesametime,
the island doesnt belong to the
party or to one man. It belongs to
the people.
For some pilgrims, the trip
back is expected to be very emo-
tional. Cuervo, for instance,
hopes tovisit a cousin, whose son
is nowa priest. She also hopes to
stop in on the nuns from Religio-
sas del Apostolado, the religious
order who taught her in Cuba.
This is a religious pilgrimage,
she says. Its an opportunity to
find out how we can be of help
and to be blessed in a special way
by Our Lady of Charity and our
Pope.
In 1998, she debated whether
she wanted to return to the is-
land. Wenski, at thetimenot yet a
bishop, gave her this piece of ad-
vice: Let the spirit guide you.
She did and applied to go on a
one-day charter flight, but a visa
mix-up kept her stranded in Mia-
mi. Whenshe finally went several
months later the first time she
had returned to her homeland in
more than35years she distrib-
uted rosaries and prayer cards.
There was such a spiritual
hunger, she recalls, tears well-
ing. She expects to see the same
in March.

KANSASCITY, Mo. Women
may say, "Its about time." Guys
may have the same reaction.
After many overly optimistic
predictions, amaleversionof The
Pill may truly be in sight. And a
team at the University of Kansas
School of Medicine, a nationally
recognizedcenterof researchinto
male contraceptives, is working
to be among the first to put a new
generation of products on the
market.
Joseph Tash, a reproductive
biologist at KU,
has spent a dec-
ade tinkering
with a chemical
compound
called H2-ga-
mendazole that
keeps sperm
from develop-
inginthetestes.
Men taking a
gamendazole
"pill" would es-
sentially be
shooting
blanks.
The expecta-
tion is that men
on the KU pill
would experi-
encenochangeintheirlibidoand,
if theystoppedtakingit, wouldre-
gain full fertility within a few
weeks.
Tashs work is part of a promis-
ing array of new birth control
methods for men that are under
development inlaboratoriesor al-
ready being tested on volunteers.
Thesecontraceptivesarearriving
more than 50 years after the fe-
male birthcontrol pill revolution-
ized relations between the sexes
and gave women greater control
over their lives.
Outdated attitudes that birth
control was womens work, along
with the technical challenges
women release just one egg per
month, but men produce 1,000
spermper secondhave slowed
development of newmale contra-
ceptives. But recent investments
in research appear to be paying
off.
Menalready are testing contra-
ceptives based on hormones that
are analogous to the contracep-
tive pills women take. Mean-
while, researchers such as Tash
are working on compounds that
target spermproduction or activ-
ity directly without affecting
mens hormones.
Tashis confident enoughabout
gamendazole that hes getting
ready to ask the Food and Drug
Administration what additional
studies hell need to do before he
can start trying it on human sub-
jects. "We have enough data now
toactuallygototheFDA,"hesaid.
He will have to meet a high
standard of safety for a drug that
healthy men would be taking reg-
ularly for a long time; FDA ap-
proval, if itgoesthatfar, isperhaps
a decade away. Sofar, though, the
compounds safety has checked
out inrabbits, mice, ratsandmon-
keys.
Mating tests onrats showedno
change in their behavior, Tash
said. "And its 100 percent effec-
tive and100 percent reversible."
Noformal matingtestsonmon-
keys yet, but those that took it
"still seemedhappy," he said.
KU colleagues are working on
other promising ways to keep
sperm at bay. Leslie Heckert is
looking for chemicals that can
block the action of a protein es-
sential to an early stage of sperm
development. Gustavo Blanco al-
ready has a series of compounds
that immobilize sperm so they
cant swimto an egg; hes seeking
about 100 volunteer sperm do-
nors to supply him with the raw
material for testing the com-
pounds inthe lab.
The prospect of a male pill rais-
es plenty of questions: Will men
be willing to take it? Will women
trust men to take it? Will it have
anyeffect onthe divisive issues of
birthcontrol?
Contraceptionformenhaslong
beenlimitedtoasmall anddismal
set of options condoms, vasec-
tomy, interruptionof intercourse.
But that hasnt kept increasing
numbers of men from shoulder-
ing responsibility for preventing
unwantedpregnancies.

ants chief among them oil gi-
ant BP, which was in charge of
the drilling project, and Swiss
company Transocean Ltd., the
owner of the doomed rig
which have been fighting in
court over who should shoulder
how much of the blame for the
disaster that killed
11 rig workers and
caused the largest
offshore oil spill in
U.S. history.
Charles F. Herd
Jr., a veteran Hous-
ton maritime attor-
ney, calls it an "un-
heralded" event in
the history of
American jurispru-
dence because of
its size and com-
plexity.
The biggest ques-
tion is whether the
Justice Depart-
ment, which is
seeking civil penal-
ties under the
Clean Water Act,
will reach a settlement with BP
or other companies involved in
the spill.
The Clean Water Act penalties
for BP alone could be as high as
$17 billion if it is found to have
exhibited "gross negligence"
a failure to take reasonable steps
to avert the disaster during
the nonjury trial before U.S. Dis-
trict Court Judge Carl Barbier.
Such a decision could increase
the fine from $1,100 per barrel to
a maximum of $4,300 per barrel,
roughly a $13 billion difference.
That potential fine dwarfs the
record $70 million in Clean Wa-
ter Act civil penalties levied
against MOEX Offshore 2007, a
minority investor in the well,
which came as part of an overall
$90 million settlement with the
Justice Department.
"Theres enormous pressure
on BP to settle," said David Uhl-
mann, director of the environ-
mental law program at the Uni-
versity of Michigan. "No matter
how confident BP is about the
gross negligence question, thats
just an extraordinary amount of
risk for any trial."
BP Chief Execu-
tive Robert Dudley
said this month that
the company was
preparing for the
court date, but ready
to settle "if we can do
so on fair and reason-
able terms."
Experts will also
be watching whether
the Justice Depart-
ment will include a
non-prosecution
agreement with the
companies as part of
any potential civil
settlement, closing a
door on future crimi-
nal charges.
A Justice spokes-
man declined to comment.
The lawsuits loom despite
BPs agreement to set up a $20
billion fund to compensate spill
victims. That fund has paid $6.5
billion to thousands of clai-
mants, most of whom signed a
waiver agreeing not to file suit.
Two families of the 11 rig work-
ers killed in a fiery explosion are
still negotiating wrongful-death
cases against BP; the others
have settled.
In addition, a separate class-
action suit is unfolding in Hous-
ton on behalf of thousands of in-
vestors accusing BP of securities
fraud. That suit alleges that BP
made false or misleading state-
ments about its safety programs
in the gulf and about its ability
to respond to a big spill. A trial
date in that case has not been
set, according to Richard Mith-
off, a co-lead attorney for the
plaintiffs.
The disaster that slimed the
coastline of four states and
closed gulf fisheries for months
also triggered hundreds of other
individual and class-action
cases, which were filed in cour-
thouses around the country.
In August 2010, a federal legal
panel lumped those cases to-
gether into one suit so that Bar-
bier could address the common
questions at the heart of the
matter.
A key issue, if the case goes to
trial, is the degree to which fault
should be allocated among the
corporate defendants, which al-
so include Houston-based Halli-
burton, which performed the ce-
ment job on the well, and Cam-
eron International Corp., design-
er of the failed blowout
preventer.
Once the degree of fault is es-
tablished, the court determines
the amount the companies must
pay in compensatory damages
that is, the cost of replacing
what has been lost. The court
will also establish whether the
defendants must pay punitive
damages, meant to punish and
deter bad conduct.
The issue of gross negligence
is also significant here because
only companies whose actions
are deemed grossly negligent
must pay punitive damages.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs
will argue that BP, the main
company in their cross hairs, ex-
hibited gross negligence by not
only mismanaging the disaster,
but also encouraging a culture
that valued profit more than
safety a claim that BP has de-
nied.
Rig owner Transocean is hop-
ing to take a pass on much of
this, citing an 1851 federal statu-
te that limits a ship owners legal
exposure when a vessel goes
down. Transocean argues that
its exposure should be about $27
million, the current value of the
sunken rig.
Despite all the legal complex-
ity, the matter couldnt be sim-
pler for plaintiffs like Acy Coop-
er Jr.
Cooper said the spill seriously
affected his ability to fish in
2010. More recently, he was
forced to close down his familys
Venice, La., seafood restaurant.
"If they didnt do things right,"
Cooper said of the defendants,
"they need to be held account-
able."

RENO, Nev. The biggest pri-
or threats to Burning Mans an-
nual regeneration in the Black
Rock Desert were U.S. land use
laws, undercover cops and the
media-perpetuated perception
that the largest outdoor arts fes-
tival in North America is really
just an excuse to get naked and
do drugs.
But that was before the teeth-
gnashing ticket fiasco.
Two decades after the free spir-
its moved their party from San
Franciscos Baker Beach to a
dried up ancient lake bed 120
miles north of Reno, the annual
pilgrimage with its drum circles,
decorated art cars, guerilla theat-
rics and colorful theme camps
has become too popular for its
own good.
The hard truth is that there
are a lot of you who want to come
to Black Rock City to celebrate
your participation in the Burning
Man culture this year, but not ev-
eryone will be aable to attend,
organizers said in an apologetic
email this after a lottery ticket
sale intended to keep attendance
below the federally permitted
cap blew up in their faces.
The counter-culture celebra-
tion open to all under the princi-
pal of radical inclusion sold out
for the first time last year with a
crowdinexcess of 53,000, forcing
organizers to make plans to sell
the bulk of the 2012 tickets
through randomdrawings. But it
wasnt until recently that many
regulars got word they may not
get in to this years psychedelic
adventure combining wilderness
camping with avant-garde per-
formance.
Whether opportunistic ticket
scalpers are to blame or nave or-
ganizers were caught off guard is
a topic raging among Burners.
Many lament it will never be
the same.
The ticket fiasco means Burn-
ing Man has to make decisions
now about who to let in and who
to keep out, said Mark Van
Proyen, chairman of the painting
department at the San Francisco
Art Institute who has attended
the last 16 years in a row. For
that reason, it no longer can real-
ly truly be a radically inclusive
event.

HARRISBURG After block-
ing similar efforts by Democrats
in recent years, Republicans in
Harrisburg now want to chip
away at a couple of state tax pro-
visions that benefit businesses.
Business advocacy groups are
not necessarily supporting the
ideas now just because Republi-
cans are getting behind them,
and its not clear that GOP law-
makers will be able to agree with
each other to get them passed,
particularly during an election
year when no one wants to alien-
ate potential supporters.
A month-old bill backed by the
leaders of the House Republican
majority would attempt to close
the so-called Delaware loop-
hole. It would give the state De-
partment of Revenue the power
to stop firms usually large,
multistate companies fromus-
ing an accounting sleight of hand
to move profits out of Pennsylva-
nia to a lower-tax jurisdiction in
order to avoid paying the states
9.99 percent corporate net in-
come tax.
To make it easier for business
advocates to swallow, the bill
would also take major steps long
sought by the business commu-
nity to lower business taxes, in-
cluding gradually reducing the
corporate net income tax rate to
6.99 percent in 2019.
At the same time, the Corbett
administration wants to scale
back part of an approximately
$73 million incentive for retailers
that collect the sales taxandsend
it to the state in a timely fashion.
Neither seems tobe embracing
the other just yet, and the turf
gets tricky for Corbett, a Repub-
lican who campaigned on a vow
not to increase taxes and who
counts business owners and ex-
ecutives among his strongest
supporters.
Aspokesmanfor the House Re-
publicans, Steve Miskin, said Fri-
day that the group had not yet
taken a position on the gover-
nors proposal, which was includ-
ed in the budget plan Corbett un-
veiled Feb. 7.
Under the proposal, retailers
that get to keep 1 percent of the
sales tax money they collect
would nowbe allowed to keep no
more than $250 per month,
which would bring another $41
million to the state in the fiscal
year that begins July 1.
During Tuesdays Senate Ap-
propriations Committee hearing,
Sen. Jim Ferlo, D-Allegheny,
asked whether that change is a
tax increase. Revenue Secretary
Dan Meuser responded that it is
a modernization.
Asked about the House bill to
close the Delaware loophole,
on Thursday, Corbett said he
hadnt seen it, hadnt talked to
House leaders about it and
couldnt say whether he would
support it.
The bills chief Republican
sponsor, Rep. David Reed of Indi-
ana County, said he has spoken
to the governors office and the
Department of Revenues secre-
tary about it, and they seemto be
open to it.
Depending on who you talk
to, it depends on how open, but
they certainly want to continue
the conversation, Reed said Fri-
day.
Meuser fielded questions from
members of the House and Sen-
ate Appropriations committees
on Tuesday and didnt exactly en-
dorse the bill. At one point he
called it a very smartly planned
idea, but at another point he
suggested that calls to close the
Delaware loophole may be long
on politics and short on sub-
stance.

HARRISBURG Residents
of a central Pennsylvania coal
town decimated by a half-centu-
ry-old mine fire have lost a state
court appeal to try to prevent
condemnation of their land, but
the long-running case will con-
tinue in federal court.
The Commonwealth Court re-
jected arguments by seven Cen-
tralia property owners who say
condemnation is no longer need-
ed because the underground fire
has moved and air quality in the
borough has improved.
Most homes in Centralia were
demolished in the 1980s after
the slow-burning fire that began
in 1962 at the town dump spread
to the underground network of
coal mines, threatening resi-
dents with poisoning gases and
dangerous sinkholes.
The court upheld a 2010 rul-
ing in county court that set fair
market value for the properties
that the commonwealth began
condemning in 1993. The state
court ruled Thursday that noth-
ing would authorize a request by
the property owners to stop the
condemnation on the grounds
that the public purpose for it no
longer exists.
The property owners, howev-
er, have also lodged a civil rights
complaint in federal court
against the state and other de-
fendants, alleging a conspiracy
to steal the mineral rights to bil-
lions of dollars worth of anthra-
cite coal. The suit names the
state Department of Community
and Economic Development, a
law firm, a coal company and
the county redevelopment au-
thority. A similar petition in
state court was dismissed on ju-
risdictional and procedural
grounds.

The municipalities with 2012
tax hikes: Nanticoke, Hazleton,
Laflin, Edwardsville, Hughes-
town, Kingston, Penn Lake Park
and 10 townships Franklin,
Huntington, Hunlock, Jenkins,
Butler, Pittston, Dennison, New-
port, Fairmount and Kingston.
Pittston Township has the
highest percentage increase be-
cause its municipal taxes are
doubling from 0.25 to 0.5 mills.
The increase, which equates to
$25 on a $100,000 property, will
generate an additional $80,000
in tax revenue earmarked solely
for the purchase of a new fire
truck and ambulance, said
township manager and financial
administrator John Bonita.
The new emergency vehicles
will cost an estimated $525,000.
Township officials want to try
to pay off the vehicles in future
years without the increase, Bon-
ita said.
If we dont need it the sec-
ond year, we will take the in-
crease off, he said.
Fairmount Town-
ships 88.5 percent
tax increase will cost
township residents
more out of pocket
$60 on a $100,000
property because
its millage rate is
higher than Pittston
Townships. The in-
crease bumps up the
millage rate from
0.6768 to 1.2757.
The tax increase
was largely needed
to fund extensive
road repairs and other damage
disasters in September, said
township Supervisor David Kell-
er.
The federal government has
not provided any disaster recov-
ery funding to date, Keller said.
We had so much road dam-
age, and now fuel costs are ris-
ing. We dont get a break, Kell-
er said. Once we get caught
up, we may cut the tax rates
back, but as of now, we cant
guarantee anything.
Kingston Townships 82.4 per-
cent hike raises its millage from
0.4112 to 0.75. Municipal taxes
will increase $34 on a $100,000
property, from $41.12 to $75.
Township Manager Kathleen
Sebastian said revenue wasnt
keeping pace with rising costs
for utilities, vehicle repairs,
equipment and supplies.
We cut back as much as we
possibly could, she said.
The municipalitys earned in-
come and local services taxes
were also increased so the en-
tire burden wouldnt be on
property owners, she said.
The property tax hike will
generate an additional $177,740,
she said. She believes the tax
rate is fair because municipal
services directly benefit all
township residents.
We arent even charging a
mill. Residents are getting their
roads paved and plowed and re-
ceiving police protection and
other services, she said.
Nanticokes 10.2 percent tax
hike will cost a $100,000 proper-
ty owner an addition-
al $38 this year.
City Finance Direc-
tor Pam Heard said
the increase stems in
large part from in-
creased costs in the
citys transition to a
new home rule gov-
ernment, including
public advertising, le-
gal expenses and
consulting services.
The increase will
generate $126,000
more for the general
fund operating budget, which
receives about $1 million from
property tax revenue, Heard
said.
Nanticokes new millage
4.0594 is among the highest
of the 76 municipalities.
Pittston city is at the top,
with 6.85 mills, followed by Ply-
mouth borough, 5.7, and Ha-
nover Township, 5.5. Wilkes-
Barres local millage rate is
technically the highest at 96.63
mills, but it cant be fairly com-
pared to the others because the
city continues to use its own
assessments for city taxes, in-
stead of the values stemming
from the countywide reassess-
ment that took effect in 2009.
County taxes increased from
5.215 mills to 5.32 mills, which
amounts to $10 more on a
$100,000 property.
School boards have not yet
finalized their new property tax
rates for the 2012-13 fiscal year.

Act banning smoking in a ma-
jority of public places is trying
to close loopholes and make all
public places in Pennsylvania
smoke-free.
The law went into effect on
Sept. 11, 2008. Sen. Stewart
Greenleaf, a Republican from
Montgomery County, said the
time has come to make the law
more restrictive.
According to the state De-
partment of Health, more than
2,800 establishments have been
granted exemptions from the
law. Of that total, 195 are in
Luzerne County, more than
double the 79 the county had
the first year the law was in
effect.
Ardos pub one of the hun-
dreds of businesses not granted
exemptions because food sales
account for about 40 percent of
his business has fared well
under the new law.
Smoke-free appeal
Ardo said that while business
trailed off right after the law
was passed, hes seen twice as
many new patrons come in be-
cause of the smoke-free environ-
ment.
But he said perhaps he could
see even more business if bars
down the street werent able to
permit smoking.
I think its an unfair law.
Make it fair. Have no gray area,
Ardo said.
Greenleaf agrees.
We know the (law) has
greatly impacted most of our
public places and establish-
ments. Now we must go further
and finish the task. We must
end the exemptions, Greenleaf
said in a press release issued by
the American Lung Association
in Pennsylvania.
The senator said that not on-
ly are business factors at play,
health factors are as well.
Secondhand smoke does not
play favorites, it impacts every-
one. We know that secondhand
smoke is a leading cause of pre-
ventable death. It causes cancer,
heart disease, lung disease and
other respiratory illness, includ-
ing worsening of asthma. How
can we ignore this?
Senate Bill 35, which Green-
leaf introduced, and House Bill
824, which was introduced by
Rep. Mario Scavello, R-Mount
Pocono, were referred to com-
mittees, where theyve re-
mained since early last year.
Greenleaf supporters
Deb Brown, a spokeswoman
with the American Lung Associ-
ation in Pennsylvania, said
Greenleaf is hoping to get the
spotlight placed back on his
proposal this year.
His bill would remove all of
the exemptions that were in-
cluded in the 2008 legislation.
Overall, there are a dozen ex-
emptions, including those for
social and private clubs; for bars
that get less than 20 percent of
their business from the sale of
food; and casinos, which were
permitted to allow smoking on
up to half the gaming floor.
Bobby Soper, president of
Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs
in Plains Township, said his ca-
sino currently has 55 percent of
the gaming floor designated as
non-smoking. At one point it
was a 50/50 split.
He said eliminating smoking
totally would mean the loss of
tens of millions, maybe hun-
dreds of millions for the states
coffers. He said the present sta-
tus seems to work well. Any-
body that wants to enjoy gam-
ing in a non-smoking environ-
ment has that opportunity,
Soper said.
The exemptions were cited as
reasons why Pennsylvania re-
ceived poor grades in the an-
nual American Lung Associ-
ations State of Tobacco Control
2012 report card, an annual ac-
counting that tracks key tobac-
co control policies at the state
and federal levels.
Pennsylvania earned two C
grades and two Fs. The C
grades were for smokefree air
and cigarette tax categories.
The Fs were given for the
states tobacco prevention and
control spending and cessa-
tion coverage. They were the
same grades the state received
in the 2011 report.
The association took Harris-
burg to task for inaction on sev-
eral key tobacco measures, in-
cluding Greenleafs bill, last
year to remove all the exemp-
tions from the 2008 law.
The Lung Association will
continue to work on
cleaning up the cur-
rent law to protect
all workers in Penn-
sylvania from sec-
ondhand smoke,
the report stated.
Its at the top of the
list because it im-
pacts the health of
millions of people in the com-
monwealth.
In 2006, the U.S. Surgeon
General released a report stat-
ing there is no safe level of ex-
posure to secondhand smoke.
A study done by Repace Asso-
ciates showed that six months
after the 2008 law was imple-
mented, indoor air pollution
dropped 87 percent in the state.
Prior to the law being passed,
casinos could designate as
much or as little of their gam-
ing floors as they wished as
smoking. After the law, casinos
were knocked down to a maxi-
mum of 25 percent of floor area
as smoking.
But casinos that could docu-
ment a significant difference in
revenues between games in
smoking and non-smoking areas
over the first 90 days the new
law was in effect could apply to
raise the smoking area percent-
age to 50 percent.
To do so, the casinos average
gross slot take per day needed
to be at least 25 percent higher
per machine in the smoking
section than in the non-smoking
section. Every casino easily ex-
ceeded that threshold.
Downward on smoking
Soper said
that even with
the law in place,
Mohegan Sun
has seen it
trending down-
ward on the
smoking.
Smoking
units still out-
perform non-smoking units,
Soper said, but not by as great a
percentage as in the past. He
did not have precise figures,
showing the disparity readily
available, but said its still dou-
ble digits.
Soper pointed out that in ad-
dition to more than half of the
gaming floor, with one excep-
tion all of the casinos eateries
and bars are smoke-free and so
is the poker room.
Twenty-eight states, Washing-
ton D.C., and Puerto Rico have
enacted comprehensive clean
indoor air laws with no exemp-
tions.

Dominick Ardo stands outside of his Plains Pub with some of his smoking customers. His bar is
non-smoking so customers have to step outdoors to light up.

THE EXEMPT
New York when she was a
U.S. senator.
Stabryla said a sizeable
amount of cigarette taxes go
to fund health programs. If
everybody quit smoking, who
would pay these taxes? If
they dont want you to smoke,
they shouldnt be selling (ciga-
rettes), he said, adding that
he doubts a full ban would
become law because Penn-
sylvania has such a high rate
of smoking.
Among the states, Penn-
sylvania is tied for 15th place
in the percentage of people
who smoke, according to the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention.
Seated a few barstools away,
Robin Steidinger, 22, of
Wilkes-Barre, said she doesnt
smoke, but she is not deterred
from patronizing a bar in
which smoking is allowed.
It doesnt really matter to
me. If its a good bar with
good music, a good bartender
and friendly people, it doesnt
matter if smoking is allowed,
she said.
Jay Fetor, 33, of Wilkes-
Barre Township, said he only
patronizes bars that allow
smoking.
I understand its hazardous
to your health but its my
right to choose if I want to
smoke or not, as long as its
not affecting anyone else. And
they can always go someplace
else that doesnt allow smok-
ing, Fetor said.
Let business decide
Kyle Andres, a bartender at
Gondas and a former smoker,
said he thinks the current
smoking law is unfair and a
total ban would be even more
so.
I think it should be up to
the restaurant or bar owner
whether or not to allow it.
Theyre nitpicking. Every-
things unhealthy. Alcohols
not healthy for you either, he
said.
Andres, 24, said a majority
of the people he serves are
smokers and hes certain he
would lose tips and his boss
would lose business if patrons
couldnt smoke in the bar.
director of the Pennsylvania
Tavern Association, said half
of that organizations members
support the law while an
equal amount opposes it.
Some businesses it has
helped, some businesses it has
hurt, Christie said.
She said there have been
some taverns that have closed
because of the loss of busi-
ness, but others have reported
gains in customers after
theyve gone smoke-free.
When the law was first
debated, the association ar-
gued that government should
not be involved in legislating
this type of proposal. Once the
law was enacted, the associ-
ation has done what it can to
support and educate members.
Gonda, who said a clear
majority of his North Main
Street patrons smoke, agreed
the law isnt perfect. But he
said with the law written the
way it is, permitting exemp-
tions for businesses where
food accounts for less than 20
percent of sales, hell continue
to apply for an exemption to
allow smoking.
Patrons weigh in
Some of his smoking pa-
trons, however, think the cur-
rent law is overreaching and a
total ban on smoking in public
places would be unconstitu-
tional.
Bob Stabryla, 52, of Shaver-
town, said supporters of a
total ban can stick it in their
a--. Currently, whether a bar
allows smoking determines
whether hell patronize it.
If a total ban went into
effect as proposed by State
Sen. Stewart Greenleaf, R-
Montgomery County, Stabryla
said he would be less likely to
patronize bars.
Who does he think he is,
Hillary Clinton? Stabryla said
of Greenleaf.
Clinton, now the U.S. secre-
tary of state, was a vocal pro-
ponent of a smoking ban in

ith the release date for the
U.S. Census of 1940 just a
little more than a month
away, the National Archives, Archi-
ves.com and the U.S. Census Bureau
have partnered in an unprecedented
effort to prepare genealogists to ac-
cess the census and get the most out
of it. The release is set for 9 a.m.
eastern time, on Monday, April 2.
The web address to access the cen-
sus is already available. Its

course you can bookmark the address
to save time when you return to it in
April and afterward. You can down-
load the census for free.
The site offers a three-minute video
introducing the census and explaining
how to find the enumeration districts
for your ancestors within communi-
ties. Online maps are provided to help
the genealogist find those districts,
and archives show how to use them.
Other points of interest are ad-
dressed as well, including whether a
person worked in one of the many
federal programs, such as the Civilian
Conservation Corps, launched during
the Great Depression of the 1930s.
New in 1940 were additional ques-
tions on employment and marriages.
The archives will also use social
media to keep the public informed as
the release date nears. Be sure to
follow us on Twitter (using hashtag
#1940Census), Facebook, Tumblr,
Flickr, YouTube, and subscribe to our

E
mile Zafrany is the owner of Simon & Company Jewelers in
Kingston. Zafrany, 52, attended schools in Casablanca, Mo-
rocco and studied architecture. Emile and his wife, Mindy,
have three children, Gael, Rachelle and Simon. They live
in the Wilkes-Barre area.
You studied architec-
ture, so how did the career
in the jewelry field devel-
op? I came to America in
1979 to be an architect,
but the metric system
was different here and
that posed problems. I had
always helped with my fa-
thers company overseas,
so I used my eye for archi-
tecture and made the transi-
tion into our family jewelry
business.
Simon & Company has been
a family business for years.
When did it start? My father,
Simon, established the com-
pany in Casablanca, Morocco in 1940.
The company has since spread to
America, France and Israel. I have four
brothers and four sisters and most all
of them are involved in the business
throughout the world.
How does the international pres-
ence affect your business? My sib-
lings and I attend all the major inter-
national jewelry shows and this en-
ables us to exchange new lines and
various artists with one another. The
exposure to the most exciting and
new designers gives us an unparallel-
ed insight into the industry or avant-
garde. We also attend all the major
American gift shows several times a
year to see the freshest and most con-
temporary artists that America has to
offer. It is similar to how a museum
curator goes to the archives to find
the finest pieces to display. I am able
to hand-pick the best and bring them
back to Northeastern Pennsylvania.
We currently have approximately 40
American designers in our line.
You seem very passionate about
the local people in the area. The lo-
cal people in the area are great. They
support us so we support them in re-
turn. Simon & Company donates jew-
elry to local foundations and auctions
and the proceeds go towards partic-
ular charities.
What are some of your favorite
things to do away from work? I like
to swim and exercise. I have a passion
for gardening, but the wife and I love
to travel.
Where would you like to travel?
Mindy and I are very fond of Bruges,
Belgium. It is so quaint, we love it.
Someday we want to travel to Tibet. It

HILADELPHIA Wallingford, Pa.s lush hills are a world
apart from the arid Horn of Africa. But a trim stone Tudor in
the Philadelphia suburb is a humming hub of help for refugees
from one of the worlds most repressive regimes.
Since the birthof Eritrea as a nationin1993, more than200,000of its
people have fled the dictatorship of President Isaias Afewerki. Under
his government, Human Rights Watch monitors say, arbitrary ar-
rests, torture, and forced labor are rampant.
Something had to be done to make this stop, John Stauffer resolved.
So, in 2010, he cofounded the America
Team for Displaced Eritreans, an all-volun-
teer effort that he runs from a spare bedroom
in his 75-year-old Wallingford home.
With a board of eight Eritrean immigrants
andtwoAmericans, and$35,000inprivate do-
nations annually, the group has provided cash
assistance, clothing, household goods, and
advocacy for hundreds of Eritreans in Amer-
ica. Since 1994, an estimated 12,575 Eriteans
have movedtothe UnitedStates, withfrom50
to 60 currently in the Philadelphia area.
The groups network of supporters in seven
mostly East Coast states supplies translators
andexpert testimonyinasylumcases. Its web-
site, www.EritreanRefugees.org, is a news
clearinghouse.
Slightly larger than Pennsylvania, the coun-
try of nearly 6 million people is bordered by
Ethiopia, Sudan, Djibouti, and the Red Sea.
But Eritrea was a province of Ethiopia 46
years ago when Stauffer, freshly graduated
from Juniata College, served there with the
Peace Corps. He fell in love with the place.
In1968, he returned to the United States to
work at Rohm & Haas, marketing chemicals
used to manufacture paint. He retired in 2006
and incorporated the nonprofit America
Team four years later.
On a typical day, Stauffer, 68, posts news
about Eritrea and works the phones, sharing
information with aid groups and government
agencies. He recently highlighted the 2012
Reporters Without Borders index ranking Eri-
trea dead last among 179 countries in press
freedom. In December, he posted news about
economic sanctions the United Nations im-
posed on Eritrea for allegedly arming Soma-
lian warlords.
Among Stauffers ongoing concerns is fal-
lout from the Arab Spring specifically, the
plight of Eritreans fleeing to Israel via the Si-
nai, where Bedouin bandits have held them
up.
Israels Interior Ministry reports that
20,000 Africans, mostly Eritreans and Suda-
nese, enter Israel annually seeking jobs and
safety. Israel says it does not deport them be-

Tom Grace - Voice of the Penguins
WOW
WOW!! That is the word I say when something
great happens to the Penguins on the ice; and it
was my exact reaction when Dr. McGraw
performed his magic on my eyes. My job as Voice
of the Penguins requires me to see the action
(and a tiny puck) from very high up in the press
box. Thanks to my fantastic results, I now call the
action with better-than 20-20 vision, and I dont
ever need to deal with the hassles of glasses or contacts. Thanks for
everything Dr. McGraw. It is truly amazing how strong my vision is
because of you!

BUSINESS S E C T I O N D
THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2012
timesleader.com
Y
ou can teach some of the skills
needed to be an entrepreneur, but
experience is still the best teacher.
That was the conclusion I drewduring
a conversation last week with Jeffrey
Alves, the newdean of the Jay S. Sidhu
School of Business and Leadership at
Wilkes University.
And he should know; after five years
at Babson College spent developing and
teaching the first degree
programs in entrepre-
neurial studies, Alves
realized, While Id
grown up in that envi-
ronment, Id never
actually worked in it. It
hit me after about three
years I didnt know
what I was talking about.
So he took a leave of absence to go
into the private sector, and was involved
in the launch of five companies over the
next 15 years.
And what did he learn?
For one thing, that being an entrepre-
neur is a full-time job and then some.
You cant leave your business alone. If
you dont have a passion for what youre
doing you shouldnt be there.
He also sawthat entrepreneurs, partic-
ularly during the startup phase, are true
multi-taskers because they must be.
The experience led Alves to conclude
that students can benefit froman in-
troduction to some of the tools entrepre-
neurs use, or fromrole playing. But in
the end, to me being entrepreneur is
more about an attitude and a way of
thinking.
Can you create another Bill Gates?
No.
Of course its wrong to think only of
Microsoft or Richard Bransons Virgin
empire when talking about entrepre-
neurs. Most are less interested in becom-
ing billionaires than they are in assuring
themselves of a steady income doing
something they enjoy. Alves is heartened
to sense that attitude in many students.
Imreally excited because the young
people Imseeing noware much better
prepared to be entrepreneurs.
Why? Most are local, most have
figured out their grandparents advice
(to get a stable job with a big company)
doesnt work. Their method of commu-
nication is much more diversified.
They learn differently they interact
differently and have an attitude that if
they can define something they can
control it.
That makes themwilling to take risks,
not recklessly but thoughtfully, Alves
has observed.
And entrepreneurs, even small ones,
collectively have a large impact. When I
mentioned an article in last Sundays
business section that downplayed the
job-creating power of small business,
Alves countered that theres strength in
numbers. Those millions of shops and
service providers are just as important to
the nations economic health as large
corporations that are as likely to be
cutting more jobs as adding themthese
days.
I hadnt thought of it that way. But
particularly at times when good jobs are
hard to come by, more people are likely
to start businesses, and that keeps them
productive, while enlarging the market
for the vendors that serve them.
Still, a fewwildly successful startups
like Google deserve the headlines they
get.
Alves says less than 2 percent of busi-
nesses growat 20 percent or more for a
five-year period. Theyre the ones that
generate 75-80 percent of jobs and bring
innovations to market, he said.
But he knows fromexperience how
rare that is.
Going in you never knowif youre
going to get there, he said, citing one
company he led, which grewat 20 per-
cent, then stalled out.
Even so, there are now40 jobs that
otherwise may not have existed.

LOS ANGELES More than 20 years
after he last played pro basketball, former
Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson is
ready for a whole new game: running his
own TV network.
The Hall of Famer, who has become a
successful business mogul, is preparing to
launch Aspire, a 24-hour channel with a fo-
cus onwhat Johnsoncalledpositive, uplift-
ing images of African-Americans. The ba-
sic cable outlet will join other channels tar-
geting black viewers, such as BETand TV
One, andwill offer opportunities for blacks
who have struggled to find work in main-
stream Hollywood.
This is so exciting for me, Impinching
myself, Johnson said in
aphoneinterview. This
is big for myself, for the
African-American com-
munity and the African-
American creative com-
munity. I wanted a vehi-
cle to show positive im-
ages and to have stories
written, produced and
directed by African-
Americans for our com-
munity. Aspire thats
how Ive been leading my life.
Aspires mix will include film, TV, music
and comedy, with a combination of ac-
quired projects and original programming.
There will some performing arts and
shows about faith, Johnson said.
Johnsons entry into the television arena
comes courtesy of communications giant
Comcast Corp. as part of its agreement
withtheFCCandDepartment of Justiceto
diversify the cable landscape. Comcast
agreed last year to launch 10 new inde-
pendently owned cable channels, with
most backedbyAfrican-Americans andLa-
tinos, by 2018. Johnsons channel is sched-
uled to be the first.
Comcasts obligation to support minor-
ity-owned channels came after a bruising
yearlong federal reviewof the Philadelphia
cable companys acquisition of NBCUni-
versal, which includes the NBC broadcast
network, NBC television stations, Univer-
sal Studios, Universal Pictures, cable chan-
nels USA, Bravo, Syfy, MSNBCand CNBC
and Spanish-language broadcaster Tele-
mundo.
With Aspire, which is scheduled for a
June 30 launch, Johnson becomes the sec-
ond A-list celebrity to launch a network in
thelast twoyears. OprahWinfreyestablish-
edOWN: TheOprahWinfreyNetworkas a
vehicle for her philosophy of inspiration
and personal empowerment. But OWN
has struggled ever since its January 2011
launch, failingtodevelopanyshows or pro-
jects that have attracted large audiences.
Johnsonisawareof therisks: Well learn
from those who have gone before us. We
understand the landscape, and we will run
a sound business.

t isnt easy being a homebuilder these days.Construction
of newhomes fell off sharplyfour years ago, andthoughthere
are indications the market for new homes may have be-
gun crawling back, the number of homes sold in America
last year amountedtoless thanhalf thetotal fiveyears earlier.
Inthis area, somehomebuilders saidtheyreseekingways to
trimcosts and are looking to other sectors of the contracting indus-
try to make ends meet.
Nationally, housing starts hit a 50-
year low in 2009, when construction
began on 554,000 residential structur-
es, 445,000 of which were single-fam-
ily homes, according to U.S. Census
Data.
In 2011, construction was begun on
609,000 housing units in the
United States, 430,000 of
which were single-family
homes.
Thats better, but nowhere
near the market of five years
earlier. In 2007, work started
on more than1.3 million resi-
dences, over a million of
which were single-family
homes, and in 2005, those figures were
2.06 million and 1.7 for single-family
homes; a 30-year high.
Average sale prices also declined.
According to census data the average
sales price of newsingle-family homes
sold in 2010 was $272,900, down from
$270,900 in 2009, $292,600 in 2008
and $313,600 in 2007.
The housing bubble didnt swell so
large in Northeastern Pennsylvania as
it did in other regions of the country,
so the pain of its burst wasnt felt as
drastically by builders here as else-
where, but local homebuilders and
contractors are still in a crunch, said
Ron Piccolotti, president of Pride
Builders, Inc. of Swoyersville
and 2010-2011president of the
Building Industry Association
of NortheasternPennsylvania.
According to census data,
building permits for 358 resi-
dential structures were issued
in 2010 the latest year in
which county-level data is
available of which 357 were
for single-family homes. Thats better
than2009, whenthe numbers were 301
total and293single-family, but well be-
low numbers from a few years earlier.
In 2007, 668 permits were issued, 650
for single family homes, and in 2006,
784 were issued, 768 for single-family
homes.
Builder David Balent points out a pull-out cutting board in the kitchen of a West
Pittston home he is restoring. In a down housing market, many residential builders
have had to take on renovations or commercial projects to stay in business.

Q: Imhaving trouble deciding
whether to change jobs. For a
number of years, I have worked
for a small local company. I can
walk to work andgo home for
lunch, whichis a great lifestyle
benefit. The pay is fair, but there
is no roomfor advancement, and
the business owners are greedy,
arrogant people.
After looking for other oppor-
tunities, I have finally founda
positionthat interests me. This
job wouldprovide a better com-
pensationpackage andmore
career potential, but the down-
side is that I wouldhave to travel
30 percent of the time.
Imhesitant about leaving my
current job, but I also think a
change might be healthy. My
crystal ball just isnt working, so I
wouldwelcome any suggestions.
A: Choosing betweentwo
alternatives withdifferent bene-
fits inevitably creates a psycho-
logical dilemma. Selecting one
means giving up the advantages
of the other, so people oftenhave
a hardtime withthese choices.
Ona small scale, its like deciding
whether to have the creamy
chocolate cake or the sensible
fruit plate for dessert. Either
way, yougainsomething andyou
lose something.
To help structure your deci-
sion-making, try this simple
exercise. First, make a compre-
hensive list of all the factors
important to youina job, suchas
pay, interesting work, competent
management, etc. Give added
weight to any that are especially
critical. For eachposition, rate
these factors ona1-to-5 scale,
thencompare the scores.
Viewing the ratings side-by-
side shouldgive youa better idea
of howthese two jobs stack up.
Ultimately, however, youwill
needto take a leap of faithand
choose the paththat appears
headedtowardthe most desir-
able future.

number of Indianemployees

it inthe microwave andeat at
their desks. Unfortunately, the
smell is very pungent andlingers
inthe air for at least half anhour.
I have triedspraying air freshen-
er, but that didnt help.
WhenI commentedonthe
smell, a fewpeople accusedme
of being racist, but that is not
true. I like my co-workers. I just
think eating smelly foodinclose
quarters is inconsiderate. Should
I discuss this problemwithhu-
manresources or just shut up
andlive withit?
A: The issue of foodsmells is
difficult to address, because few
odors are universally offensive.
For example, many people de-
spise the smell of microwave
popcorn, while others dont
mindit at all. The same is true of
fish, gasoline andthat air fresh-
ener youwere using. InIndia,
many might consider the aroma
of anAmericanhamburger dis-
tasteful.
Inthis situation, however, the
practical questionis whether
other lunching locations are
available. If your office has a
decent break room, the HRman-
ager might reasonably imple-
ment a no eating at your desk
policy for all employees. But if
desktop dining is the only al-
ternative to eating out, Imafraid
youwill simply have to adjust.

A lot of builders went out of
business, Piccolotti said. Alot
of guys just got in over their
heads; a lot of guys were stuck
holding spec houses.
Several local builders said
that even if the market wont re-
turn to bubble-era levels the
worst has likely passed, and
now the biggest challenge to
their businesses has come from
conservative home lending by
banks.
Financing a challenge
I dont know how many
houses Ive lost because they
couldnt get the money; you
have to be super clean any-
more, said Randy Rushton,
owner of South Valley Custom
Homes in Nanticoke. Three or
four have gotten right up to be-
ing ready to sign and they lost
the loan. Thats a shocker to the
people, you know.
Piccolotti said buyers with
credit scores below 740 face an
uphill battle in getting a home
loan.
Unfortunately, theres a lot
of good people who had some
issues with their jobs or lost
their jobs; who didnt have per-
fect credit, Piccolotti said.
And Imnot talking four or five
hundred, Im talking low to
high six hundreds, and these
days the banks just wont do it.
Statistics seem to back up
Rushtons observations. Ac-
cording to U.S. Census data, 58
percent of new single-family
homes sold in 2010 were fi-
nanced by a conventional loan.
The proportion was 62 percent
in 2009 and 74 percent in 2008.
The proportion of govern-
ment-backed home loans,
meanwhile, has grown. The
proportion of new homes fi-
nanced by a Federal Housing
Administration-insured loan
was 25 percent in 2010, 24 per-
cent in 2009, and 16 percent in
2008, Census data show. Build-
ers also blamed rising living
costs and employment uncer-
tainty for the market slow-
down.
Employment uncertainty has
left renters hesitant to buy and
made banks more hesitant to
lend. Fuel costs have cut into
the paychecks of homeowners
and potential homebuyers,
leaving them with less each
month to devote to mortgage
payments or to save for a down
payment.
Those fuel costs also raise
construction expenses for
builders and contractors.
David Balent, owner of Exe-
ter-based Balent Construction,
Co., said the price of roof shin-
gles, which contain petroleum
products, has risen from about
$35toover $100per100-square-
foot sheet in two years, and
Rushtonsaidthe cost of founda-
tion excavation and other jobs
requiring heavy equipment also
is up.
Theyre talking $5 a gallon
coming up, and that will be the
height of our season, Rushton
said. Some excavating compa-
nies I knowuse five or six thou-
sand (dollars) a month on fuel.
Balent said the price of fuel
has forced his company to con-
sider ways to cut back. He now
plans ahead to find the most ef-
ficient route before sending
crews to work at multiple con-
struction sites, and has imple-
mented other cost-saving mea-
sures like high efficiency light-
ing and oil recycling.
The crunch has forced some
builders to expand into alterna-
tive, sometimes unfamiliar
markets.
Residential homebuilders
have begun taking on renova-
tion work or commercial pro-
jects, and contractors specializ-
ing in one building trade have
begun branching out, Piccolotti
said.
If you were taking on a cer-
tain job like siding, (now)
youre taking on a roofing job if
you could, Piccolotti said. Ba-
sically youre doing whatever
you can do to stay alive.
Balent saidhe has beendoing
more and more remodeling and
repair jobs, and that homeown-
ers seeking work often request
the bare minimum.
Homeowners are doing the
very minimal in what they need
for repairs, Balent said.
Theyre very cost and budget
conscious.
Flood not a big help
WilliamDe Angelo, co-owner
of DeAngelo Construction in
Wilkes-Barre, said his company
began shifting towards com-
mercial construction prior to
the housing bubble, and now
specializes in commercial work
because thats where the busi-
ness is. The company also man-
ages rental properties to keep
income flowing in slow times.
You need a secondary in-
come, De Angelo said. If you
solely depend on residential
construction that would be a
heck of a ride.
De Angelo added his compa-
ny saves overhead by perform-
ing work other builders would
subcontract.
When I was a kid every
builder put the tools on; nowa-
days nobody puts the tools on
thats our advantage, De Ange-
lo said. My office is in my
house. My mother gets in-
volved; my wife gets involved.
Family. We dont have secretar-
ies; we dont have a foreman. Its
all us.
Some contractors may have
hopedrepairingdamagecaused
by the September flooding
would offer some relief in the
market, but homebuilders said
the floods impact on the indus-
try was lessened by competi-
tion from contractors from out-
sidethearea, someworkingille-
gally, and by the challenges
homeowners faced in securing
funding through flood insur-
ance.
Contractors said five month
later somefloodvictims arestill
waiting on insurance payouts.
Theyre doing the bare mini-
mum that they can by them-
selves, because they dont have
the money to pay for the profes-
sionals tocome in, Balent said.
Theres people that I know
that have their house gutted
out, and they have heat and
power but thats it, and theyre
just sitting there, or doing it a
little at a time.
But even in the leanest of
times there is opportunity, and
the chance to pursue a long-
held dream to build homes is
what led South Valley Custom
Homes owner Randy Rushton
to buck the economic trend and
open a home construction firm
in the worst of market condi-
tions.
Rushtons company builds
homes constructed of pre-fabri-
cated panels assembled on site.
He startedthe company in2008
after running a paint store and
working with contractors for
more than 20 years.
Rushton said he has built six
homes since 2009, all pre-or-
dered and around 2,000 square
feet in size. Though those
homes might not have been as
large as he would have liked, he
feels his company is holding its
own.
I feel that were doing what
we need to do to keep ourselves
goinghereandI feel its goingto
get better, Rushton said.
Fromour first homeshow(this
year) we got 18 original leads. I
find that its mostly the younger
people. Theyre working and
they dont know what the real
crunch is. Theyre ready to
build homes.

REBUILDING
Continued from Page 1D
The Building Industry Asso-
ciation of Northeastern Penn-
sylvania is gearing up for its
annual Home Expo, a trade
show bringing together about
100 local builders, contractors
and building product suppliers
with thousands of potential
customers. Always an impor-
tant networking tool, home
shows have become an even
more critical resource for
builders in the current econo-
my.
Most of my leads come
from the home shows in the
area, said Randy Rushton,
owner of South Valley Custom
Homes in Nanticoke. From
the last show I have four po-
tential good leads, so out of
those four I hope to get at
least one home.
Don Casterline, emeritus
director of the local Building
Industry Association and an
organizer of the expo, said the
show is an important promo-
tional event for the building
trades and an opportunity to
build consensus and awareness
among local companies of
issues impacting the building
industry.
But mostly, its a chance to
meet potential clients, and the
association is offering a num-
ber of supplemental events
and activities in hopes of draw-
ing a larger crowd.
There will be a charity auc-
tion of home and yard items
built by students at area voca-
tional schools, a free electron-
ics recycling collection in the
parking lot and new this year
with a separate entry fee a
Saturday wine-tasting event.
The association has also
added a childrens area to the
expo, which on Saturday will
include a magic show and a
visit from Ronald McDonald
and other characters.
The SPCA will have animals
available for adoption, local
Girl Scouts will sell cookies
and food will be available for
purchase.
One change in the expo this
year is the inclusion of a grow-
ing number of companies
specializing in remodeling a
sign of economic conditions,
Casterline said.
Weve seen more participa-
tion of the remodelers, Cast-
erline said. Because of the
economy; because the home-
building industry is down
substantially, so consequently
those builders have turned to
remodeling.
Home shows are a critical resource for many builders
What: Building Industry Associ-
ation of Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia Home Expo

THANKS FOR LEAVING
The Dow Jones industrial aver-
age is close to its highest level
since May 2008, but part of the
reason is that AIG is no longer in
the mix. Dow Jones Indexes
booted the bailed out insurer
from its measure of blue-chip
stocks in September 2008, after
the stock plunged to $34 from
$203 in three days.
Since the switch, AIG has lost
about 64 percent. Kraft, the stock
that replaced AIG in the Dow 30,
has climbed 14 percent. In 2009,
Citigroup and General Motors
were dumped from the average.
GM subsequently filed for bank-
ruptcy protection, which wiped
out its stock.
EVAPORATING RECOVERY
Natural gas looked like it
may be set for a rebound
earlier this month. It had
climbed 4.6 percent, just one
day after rising 5.9 percent. It
was the first time since June
2010 that gas rose more
than 4 percent in two straight
days.
But the recovery proved
fleeting. Gas fell again last
week, further cementing its
steep slide since peaking in
2008. Too much supply is
available and its overwhelm-
ing demand. In July 2008,
gas was above $13 per
1,000 cubic feet. Now, its
around $2.55.
INFLATION PROTECTION
Oil is back above $100 per barrel
and financial analysts say $4 gaso-
line will arrive by this summer. So its
natural to wonder which stocks do
best when prices are rising. Re-
searchers from Columbia University,
AXAInvestment Managers and as-
set manager Amundi looked at re-
turns of all stocks in the S&P 500,
going back to 1989. They found that
oil and gas stocks rise with inflation.
Thats no surprise because they
benefit from higher prices for the oil
that they sell. But the researchers al-
so said that technology stocks tend
to do well. Thats because tech com-
panies can charge premium prices
when they bring innovative products
to market.

Stephen Jones and TomVillalta
arent afraid to go against the con-
ventional wisdom. They began
buying big bank stocks in 2010,
when most investors were dump-
ing them. The investments have
paid off this year, and their mutual
fund has already returned 14 per-
cent in less than two months.
What drew you to banks ?
Villalta: You cannot find a more dis-
paraged or unliked group with as
much angst being directed toward
it, whether it be from politicians or
individuals from the Street. Youre
seeing this reflected in shareholder
meetings and, from the political
standpoint, with regulations that
are being enacted.
Jones: I can remember I made a
television appearance, it was prob-
ably early 2010, and I commented
on how much we liked the big
money center banks and how un-
dervalued we thought they were. It
was humorous to us the number of
disparaging comments made
about me personally simply be-
cause I thought they were a good
value. Im on the board of a bank,
and its a wonderful business mod-
el when the cost of money is as
low as it is, and theyre able to lend
it out at higher rates.
But isnt demand for loans
weak?
Villalta: Our thesis with regard to
banks isnt predicated on signifi-
cant loan growth of any kind. It is a
valuation play. Strictly on a valua-
tion basis, with no growth attached
to them, they should be trading at
a higher rate.
What do you mean by valua-
tion?
Villalta: They look cheap on a book
value basis. They should be trad-
ing at book value, (which is how
much accountants say a company
is worth if its liabilities are subtract-
ed from its assets. Many banks are
instead trading below their book
values). When we saw banks fall-
ing in summer, early fall of 2010,
we were very actively buying more
shares of pretty much all the finan-
cials that we own.
Have you made money on your
Bank of America investment?
Villalta: Weve made money on all
of our financial positions within the
portfolio. I continue to believe that
this group is among the least risky
of the groups that we have.
Theres a need for lending. Theres
a need for investment businesses.
Its a very competitive environ-
ment, which we like. When you
have businesses where the im-
plied expectations are very low, the
risk comes down significantly.
Whoa, banks are less risky?
Villalta: I think you could make a
case that a company like Apple is
an undervalued stock. But if you
take a look at its operating mar-
gins that are 50 percent higher
than its competitors, that worries
me. Theres a lot of room to chip
away at the competitive advantag-
es they have.

Investors thinking of buying Facebook stock this spring may want to consider
less exciting options a truck leasing company, perhaps, or a manufacturer of
ball bearings.
Since the stock market peaked on
Oct. 9, 2007, Ryder System, which rents
moving trucks, has returned 24 percent,
counting dividends. Timken, the ball
bearing company, 55 percent. Staid old
Johnson & Johnson has returned 13
percent counting dividends.
Google, the last stock debut to get
Facebook-level attention, is up sharply
since 2004. But measured from the market
peak, it's down 1.5 percent. And it doesnt
pay a dividend.
The lesson? When it comes to hot stocks, losses may persist if you buy
at the top and cant make up ground with dividends.
For a taste of the danger of buying stocks in the spotlight, check out last
year's Internet stock debuts, like Groupon, Pandora and Angies List. Investors
who got in before the stocks started trading have done OK. But that's
mostly reserved for pension funds, mutual funds and hedge funds.
And after sharp climbs on the first day, most have fallen.
Those looking for a big payoff should have stuck with the
boring, not the bedazzling. CVR Partners, which sells nitrogen
fertilizer to farmers, is up 66 percent since it went public
last April. Its lucky shareholders also get dividends. CVR
is expected to pay $2 a share over the next year, or 8
percent of its stock price even after the big run-up.

Energy stocks expected to rise 30 percent
Stock
Screener
Financial analysts have high expectations for many energy stocks.
Its not surprising that analysts anticipate that Halliburton, which
helps companies pull crude from the ground, and other companies in
the oil and gas industry will do well. Theyre benefiting from the return
in crudes price to above $100 per barrel. But analysts expect big gains
even for several coal stocks, following a disappointing year of returns
for the industry.
This screen shows energy companies in the S&P 500 index where
analysts are forecasting at least a 25 percent rise over the next 12
months.
Atop the list are coal stocks, which have struggled on worries that
power plants will switch from coal as their fuel to natural gas. The
plunging price of gas since 2008 has made it cheap.
Consol Energy, for example, fell 25 percent last year when the index
was flat. But Credit Suisse nevertheless expects Consol to rise over
the next year on stronger demand for coal from steel factories around
the world, among other factors.

Mortgage rates inch up
The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage rose
to 3.95 percent last week from 3.87 percent, but its
still well below where it was a year ago, 4.95 per-
cent. Mortgage rates are low because they track
Treasury yields. The Fed plans to keep short-term
rates low until late 2014, and longer-term yields
have stayed low because economic growth has
been slow and inflation has been moderate.

NetIlix`s Wild Ride
Shares oI streaming-movie pro-
vider NetIlix (Nasdaq: NEIX) got
a standing ovation Irom investors
aIter the company delivered stellar
Iourth-quarter results.
What a ride it`s been Ior NetIlix
shareholders. Eirst, NetIlix was the
hottest thing since volcano lava.
Then it tried to shake things up and
split off its DVD business, and sud-
denly the stock was colder than an
arctic glacier. Now, as the company
once again is convincing the market
that its growth story is Iar Irom over,
the shares have been advancing.
In its Iourth quarter, NetIlix man-
aged $0.73 in per-share earnings on
$876 million in revenue. Analysts
were expecting earnings per share
to come in at just $0.55. More
important, the company said that it
Iinished the quarter with more than
26 million total global subscrib-
ers, suggesting that the subscriber
deIections may simply have been a
blip. Domestic subscribers were up
25 percent year-over-year.
Has the company Iully addressed
concerns about encroaching compe-
tition Irom Hulu and Amazon.com?
Not yet. Will its international push
end up paying oII? That remains
to be seen.
The stock is not without risks,
but it`s more oI a bargain than it
was last year, when it traded at far
higher prices. Still, anyone buying
now better be prepared Ior volatil-
ity. (The Motley Fool owns shares

no big deal.
Never mindhis ears what re-
ally stands out about McCreery is
his poise, his maturity. OnAmer-
ican Idol, he exhibited the confi-
dence and charisma of someone
twice his age. He credits baseball.
My dad pitched in college,
and he raised me on the pitchers
mound, McCreery reflected. If
youre the pitcher, all eyes are on
you everybody in the stands
and the team is depending on
you. Being on stage and having
all eyes onme, its kindof a transi-
tion frombaseball to the stage for
me.
Although hes writing songs,
McCreery didnt contribute any
material to Clear as Day. Work-
ing with producer Mark Bright
(Underwood, Luke Bryan, Reba
McEntire), he picked pieces by
such Nashville stalwarts as Craig
Wiseman, Rhett Akins and Chris
Tompkins.
Theres nothingabout drinking
or cheating, though. McCreery,
who turned 18 in October, stuck
with age-appropriate material
singing about writing a girls
number on his hand, living in a
small town and appreciating the
demands on his mom.
Going into the song-picking
process, we all thought it was go-
ing to be a bigger challenge than
it really was, he said. They had
to be songs I could relate to. I
dont thinkthere was one songon
there that when I recorded it, I
had to fake it or make something
up in my mind to really believe it.
All the songs speak to my life.
Ive only had one serious girl-
friend, he said matter-of-factly.
And it was a 13-year-old serious
relationship, so it wasnt too
much. Ive kind of been flying so-
lo for the last few years. But
heartbreak is heartbreak, wheth-
er youre 18 or whether youre
40.
Soft-spoken but thoughtful,
McCreery is intent on enjoying
his senior year at Garner Magnet
High School. My friends dont
treat me any different, he said.
And he made sure that this leg of
the Paisley tour would be done
before baseball begins.
Hell pitch if the North Caroli-
na High School Athletic Associ-
ation approves of his regimen of
attending some classes andbeing
tutored by his mother, a certified
high school teacher, on the road.
If he hadhis choice of beingthe
American Idol or the winning
pitcher in the final game of the
World Series, McCreery would
opt for vocal champ.
Baseball is something Ive en-
joyed doing, but singing has been
a passion for me since I was lit-
tle, saidMcCreery, whosangthe
national anthemat the first game
of the 2011 World Series. This is
what I want to do, be out there
with the music and the guitar,
making art.
However, there was no grand
plan. He went to Milwaukee for
the AmericanIdol auditionona
whim. And now hes taking it all
in stride.
Im going to have to go out
there and work hard and show
them that I deserve to be here,
he said.

County Historical Society.
I always thought of Joe Paloo-
ka as symbolic of this area, said
semi-retired local broadcaster
David DeCosmo, who will speak
during the event. Hes a pull-
yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps,
never-say-die sort of fellow,
strong in the face of adversity.
During the strips 1930-1984
history, Palooka faced more than
his share of adversity.
Falsely charged with desertion
from the French Foreign Legion
during the 1930s, he was sen-
tenced to death by firing squad
yet spared in the storyline by the
timely intervention of Franklin
Delano Roosevelt himself.
Back on this side of the Atlan-
tic, Palooka calmly turned down
the offer of a lucrative boxing
match in Havana. I got other
plans, he said, indicating he
would enlist in the Army and
help defeat the Fascists.
By 1940 the boxer was on a
troopship, sparringa bit whenhis
opponent fell overboard. Plucky
Palooka dove into the ocean for a
rescue and ended up on top of a
U-boat, where he single-handed-
ly dispatched the officers as they
emerged, one by one.
In his private life, too, there
were challenges, as when Joes
girlfriend Ann Howe, suffering
fromamnesia after a plane crash,
almost married a doctor in Col-
orado.
Of course Ann, who had been
serving as a World War II nurse,
didnt marry the doctor, but Joe.
She also appeared in the comic
strip as a beautiful heiress, one
with society friends who
mocked Palooka for his healthy
habits.
At least one newspaper writer
praised the character for drink-
ing milk and refusing to smoke
coffin nails, even when he was
ridiculed.
After the couple wed, Joe and
Ann lived in West Wokkington,
Ohio, but never forgot Joes
Wilkes-Barre roots.
Various Wilkes-Barre residents
appeared in the strip, among the
most notable a young Max Barti-
kowsky. Bartikowsky, who grew
up to own the downtown jewelry
store that bears his name, as a
child had an alter-ego known as
Little Max.
We lived across the street
from Ham Fisher on South Fran-
klin Street, Bartikowsky re-
called. I was a youngster, prob-
ably 5 or 6 years old, and he used
tosee me. Idstepintomy fathers
shoes and walk around the neigh-
borhood with floppy hats and big
shoes.
In the strip, Little Max wore
oversizeclothes anddidnt speak.
He had a halo over his head, and
that would show what he was
thinking, Bartikowsky said. I
was so young, I probably didnt
talk.
Other area residents represent-
edinthe comic stripwere DeCos-
mo himself, who was news direc-
tor for WMJW radio at the time
along with former Sunday Inde-
pendent reporter Fred Ney, John
Cicero of West Side Monument
Co. and SamGreenberg of Arrow
Steel.
The men were subtly men-
tioned in the strip as organizers
of a Miss 1776 pageant, which
was already part of the storyline
Fishers successor Tony DiPreta
had conceived.
DiPreta inserted the mens
names and images into the strip
in 1976 as thanks for their efforts
to replace the Joe Palooka monu-
ment along Route 309 between
Mountain Top and Wilkes-Barre,
after the original bronze marker
had been stolen.
Fisher was born in Wilkes-
Barre in1900 and began working
for the Wilkes-Barre Record in
1920.
He convinced the McNaught
Syndicate to carry Joe Palooka in
1930, and at its height the comic
strip appeared in more than 900
newspapers.
Thefinal stripwas publishedin
November 1984 and depicted
Joe, Ann and their two children
biddingfarewell toa crowd. They
were heading back to Wilkes-
Barre, where Joes parents still
lived.
What can I say except I love
you all! Goodbye for now! Joe
Palooka calls in the penultimate
frame.
The last frame shows Palookas
manager, Knobby Walsh, saying
Goodbye, Joey, Baby!! as a tear
rolls from his eye.
The Joe Palooka character
spawned comic books, movies
and a 10-foot, 20,000 pound lime-
stone statue in Oolitic, Ind., as
well as the local monument.
Fishers body of work included
not only the creation of Palooka
but a humorous history of Wyom-
ing Valley that appeared in local
newspapers in the 1920s and a
Mr. Peanut advertisement that
showed Christopher Columbus
happy to find peanuts in the New
World.

video. She was treated like a movie star.
Whenthevideowas over, thepassengers
did what star-struck fans do: they asked
for her autograph on seatback safety
cards.
Then they fastened their seatbelts, re-
turned tray tables and seatbacks to the
upright and locked position, and pre-
pared to take off ... yet again.
on my flights doing the exact same
thing, Rubiano said.
A free domestic coach ticket can be
had for 25,000 miles. But thats not the
goal. People in this group would rather
shell out the $300 for the ticket and save
for a big reward like flying first class to
Asia for 125,000 miles, a ticket that nor-
mally sells for more than $10,000.
Once youstart gamingthe system, the
miles rackupfast. Those onthe MegaDo
trip have a lifetime average of 1.6 million
miles earned through flying and cred-
it cards with American alone.
The man with the most: Michael
Joyce, 61, from Forest Park, Ill. His life-
time total is more than 44.4 million.
(The top AAdvantage member has 77.6
million miles but wasnt on this trip. Ac-
cumulating millions of miles involves
not just frequent flights but alsobonuses
and miles received through credit card
purchases.) For eight years, Joyce, a for-
mer computer systems analyst, com-
muted between New York and Chicago.
In 1994, he bought a lifetime unlimited-
travel pass for $500,000 and now hops
around the world for fun.
Less thana thirdof the miles he gener-
ates are actually flown. The rest come
from various bonuses. Joyce donates
miles to his church and gives flights to
friends who cant afford vacations. He al-
so bid 453,000 miles to secure a seat on
the MegaDo.
(The MegaDo also raised more than
$65,000 for charity, auctioning off items
like a Qantas deck of cards, British Air-
ways pajamas, model airplanes, fluores-
cent yellow rain suits worn by Ameri-
cans groundcrew, two free tickets to Eu-
rope and 60,000 American miles.)
Teddy bears, bunk beds
and playing ticket agent
As with every good vacation, there
was a chance to get souvenirs.
There was a stopat the Boeingstore in
Seattle yes, theres really a Boeinggift
shop. Its just south of downtown, steps
away from the runway at Boeing Field.
The group rushed in and stocked up on
yellow787ties, aviator teddy bears, Boe-
ingChristmas ornaments, garment belts
fashioned out of airplane seatbelts and
T-shirts saying: If its not Boeing, Im
not going.
But thereal mementos werethephotos.
Most tourists snap shots in front of the
pyramids, MachuPicchuor theTaj Mahal.
At Los Angeles International Airport, this
group pressed up against a chain-link
fence to take photos of a Cathay Pacific
777 nose to nose with a Qantas A380.
There was something sexy about the way
the two giant planes faced each other.
Once onboard, like kids set free on a
playground, the passengers climbedinto
the cockpit, spread out in plush first
class beds and crawled into the hidden
bunk beds where crews nap during long
trans-Pacific flights. Moments later, pho-
tos were on Facebook.
But what else would you expect from
folks who, duringa tour of anelite check-
inarea, wereexcitedtoplayairlineticket
agent?
If I could strap wings to my back, I
would, said Harry Livingston, 56, a for-
mer Navy flight surgeon, recreational pi-
lot and emergency room doctor from
New Rochelle, N.Y.
Even the most mundane parts of fly-
ing excited this group. American chose
to premier its new safety video on the
flight. There were wild cheers and
screams as it ran. Peoplerecordedit with

S
et in the darkest heart of planta-
tion-era slavery, The Healing is a
remarkable rite-of-passage novel
with an unforgettable character, a force-
ful medicine woman named Polly Shine.
She arrives in the life of Granada, a
black slave girl who was robbed of her
mother as a baby and is struggling to
find her racial place and identity on a
sprawling Mississippi Delta plantation
inthe decade leadinguptothe Civil War.
Her personal journey takes fearsome
turns in the hands of Polly Shine.
With this backdrop, the book might
runthe riskof beingstereotypical South-
ern slave epoch fiction. Set mostly in
1860, it includes an arrogant white plan-
tation owner, Master Ben, and his mad,
grief-stricken wife, Mistress Amanda,
who live in a mansion with their young
son, Little Lord, and a trained monkey
named Daniel Webster.
But it transcends any cliches of the
genre with its captivating, at times al-
most lyrical, prose; its firm grasp of his-
tory; vivid scenes; and vital, fully real-
ized people, particularly the slaves with
their many shades of color and modes of
survival none more so than Polly
Shine and Granada.
Old but still spry, Polly is a command-
ing presence, a midwife with mystical
healing powers and potions drawn from
roots, leaves, berries and bark. She is
reddish brown with pointed cheek-
bones andamber eyes, has birdfeathers
stickingout fromher braids andwears a
ponderous necklace made of gleaming
white shells.
Polly sees Granada, who is approach-
ing her 13th birthday, as a possible suc-
cessor. But Granada, taken as a newborn
to be raised as a surrogate daughter for
the unstable Mistress Amanda, prefers
the privileges of the mansion, unaware
how fleeting they will be.
This is Southernfictional turf tilledby
many others, and it is fair to ask why the
novels author, Jonathan Odell, chose to
bring it dramatically to life once again.
A Mississippi native who is white,
Odell grew up amid the rigid racial in-
justices and cruelties of Jim Crow. After
a career as a business consultant, he set-
tled in Minnesota and, according to his
note to readers, set out to write novels
focusing on the racial divide after im-
mersing himself in oral histories, slave
narratives, interviews, books and cour-
thouse files.
His first novel, The View From Del-
phi, is set inMississippi before the mod-
ern civil rights era. He dug back deeper
into history for The Healing.
If you want to destroy a people, de-
stroy their story, he says in the note. If
you want to empower a people, give
them a narrative to share.
The Healing is just such a narrative.

R
eaders curious about
food have been able to
deepen their knowledge
exponentially over the last dec-
ade. They know how bad fast
food is (thanks to Eric Schloss-
er), understand the complexities
of foodproduction(thanks toMi-
chael Pollan), and know how
hard it is to work in a kitchen
(thanks to Bill Bryson). There
areshelves uponshelves of books
about how, why and what we eat
by restaurateurs, farmers, chefs
and even moonlighting novel-
ists.
Add to the mix Tracie McMillan,
who found employment at the bottom
of our nations food chain and wrote
about it in The American Way of Eat-
ing: Undercover at Walmart, Apple-
bees, Farm Fields and the Dinner Ta-
ble. Its like a foodie version of Barba-
ra Ehrenreichs Nickel and Dimed:
On (Not) Getting by in America.
McMillan is an award-winning jour-
nalist whose work has focused on pov-
erty.
Awhitewomaninher 30s withacol-
lege degree, McMillan is an unusual
figure looking for work in the fields of
Californias Central Valley. When
asked, she makes vague allusions to
wanting to leave problems behind, be
outside and stay away from people.
But it takes her a while to be in the po-
sition of asking for a job.
Ive driven up and down the high-
way looking for onion crews to no
avail, hindered by, in descending or-
der, my ignorance of what an onion
field looks like, how many people
might be on a crew, and basic local ge-
ography, she writes. Though she
wields vast knowledge about the con-
ditions faced by agricultural workers,
she serves as an everywoman, an un-
derstandable lens on an unseen world.
Inthis way, the bookis vital. She has
the writing skills to bear witness, the
research background to provide con-
text, and the courage to take on the
task. It is a constructed challenge: For
each effort farms in California, Wal-
Marts in Michigan, Applebees in New
York she serves a two-month stint.
She begins her project with a months
savings, and when her cars radiator
fails, or a check amount is less thanex-
pected, like many other Americans
she taps a credit card to make ends
meet.
Each section begins by outlining
how much she earned producing food
and how much she spent on what she
ate. In the fields, she spent 25 percent
of her $10,588 annualized salary; at
Wal-Mart, 17.2 percent of $11,487; at
Applebees, 13.5 percent of $12,845.
What those numbers dont reveal is
how much she depended on the kind-
ness of strangers.
McMillan gets hired to pick grapes,
sort peaches and harvest garlic. She
lands her first jobwiththehelpof asym-
pathetic neighbor, whobrings her along
when the work is scarce in a mini-busi-
ness of selling breakfast to other work-
ers (McMillan provides the soda). Ac-
quaintances sharesurplus foodfromthe
fields. Awoman unloads a bounty from
the throwaway bins at Trader Joes,
including bread that a ravenous
McMillan devours. A Michigan
landlord stocks the kitchen
andrewards on-timerent with
pizza; in two houses where
she rents rooms, the land-
lords regularly feed her
home-cooked meals.
The fact that these actions are re-
corded but seemto go unrewarded by
her even after McMillan returns
to her real life becomes one of
the increasingly uncomfortable ele-
ments of the book. These are, after
all, the types of families for whomit
makes sense to displace a teen-
age son from his bedroom for
the $300 McMillanwill pay
that month; how can she
rapturously write of the
seafood soup without
offering to stock the
fridge once in a while?
Perhaps these transac-
tions happened but
were too intimate to be
recorded.
This is the other ele-
ment that is missing: intimacy. McMil-
lan is excellent at describing the sur-
face of things where to standto sort
just-picked peaches, how many train-
ing videos a new Wal-Mart staffer will
watch but more often than not, she
omits the feel of things. If her muscles
hurt after that first day in the fields, if
she was bored stocking shelves all
night, we dont know it.
The U.S. food system is large and
complex, and McMillans efforts to tell
macro and micro stories never cohere
into a complete picture. What she can
giveusthat nooneelsecanisher experi-
ence on the line. Tragically, that in-
cludes a sexual assault that happened,
she writes, after the celebration of her
last night at Applebees, where she had
enjoyedthe work (it was not a work col-
league). Related in less than two pages,
that experience may explain some of
McMillans unwillingness to get too
close, to reveal too much about what
she was feeling during the project.
There is some insight here, about
danger and vulnerability, about power
andpoverty, about what it takes tofeed
ourselves ina way that is goodfromthe
inside-out and toptobottom. But Im
not entirely sure
what it is; McMil-
lan isnt either.

A
BOARD AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT 9454
Eric Muellers vacation started when his plane filled
with smoke. Soon, people slid down an emergency
chute, inflated life vests and climbed into a raft.
Mueller loved every minute of it.
Most days he runs a book-reviewwebsite. But on this day
he was living out a fantasy at American Airlines flight at-
tendant academy, practicing evacuation procedures most
people hope to never use.
I look at the safety card. Its
not supposed to be a comic book
of things youwant to try, but it all
just looks cool, said Mueller, 40,
of Los Angeles.
There are people who grew up
wanting to be Mickey Mantle.
They go to Yankees fantasy
camp. Others dream of playing
CarnegieHall. Theyjointhesum-
mer orchestra at the shore. Then
there are aviation geeks like
Mueller. People like him and
there are more than you think
charter a commercial airliner and
hop across the country visiting
the Meccas of the aviation world.
The most recent journey had
160 people paying up to $1,699
for a seat and access to spots nor-
mally off limits: Boeings spraw-
ling 737 factory, Americans mis-
sion control-like operations cen-
ter and the cockpit of the worlds
largest passenger jet.
Tickets sold out in 17 minutes.
This is sort of the ultimate air-
plane nerd event, Mueller said.
Most people board a plane to
escape toa tropical beach, see the
Eiffel Tower or visit their family.
For this group, the journey isnt
just half the fun. Its the whole
point.
Theycandifferentiatebetween
Boeing and Airbus jets just by
looking at their tails. They know
that on even-numbered flights,
meals are served first from the
front left of the cabin, while on
odd-numbered flights, its the
back right.
Usually in your life, youre the
only one who knows this stuff,
saidGabriel Leigh, 28, a filmmak-
er and writer from Hong Kong.
The camaraderie was part of
the trips appeal. Sure, it was real-
ly cool to walk inside the first 747
ever built. But it was also fun to
gulp down gin and tonics midair
with other guys three out of
four passengers were male
who have the same passion for
flying. How much fun? Well,
American stocked the plane with
four times the liquor of a normal
flight.
In each row, stories were
swapped of amazing meals and
opulent hotels in faraway lands
all paid for with frequent flier
miles. These travelers dont just
love tofly; they are obsessedwith
collecting frequent flier miles at
the cheapest possible cost.
The fliers, who ranged in age
from 20 to 81 and hailed from as
far away as Chile, India and Italy,
know the ins and outs of the pro-
grams better than anybody else
and share pointers in online trav-
el forums such as MilePoint. One
tip: prevent miles from expiring
with a tiny online purchase at
Target, Macys, iTunes or another
retailer thats part of the airlines
shopping portal.
Such expertise led American
Airlines and several other travel
companies to help set up the trip
and use it to pick the brains of
these veteran fliers. They wanted
to knowwhat these travelers like
and hate about the loyalty pro-
grams. Airlines need to keep
their most-frequent customers
happy. The top 20 percent of
Americans customers generate
about 70 percent of its revenue.
Thats why Suzanne Rubin, the
new president of the Americans
frequent flier program AAd-
vantage hopped on the plane,
along with other executives, for
what she calleda crashcourse in
customer research.
Mileage mania
For those who dont travel fre-
quently or play the mileage
game, it can be daunting to un-
derstand the appeal of the pro-
grams. Its not just about free
trips for this group. Its a hobby
some would say obsession
similar to collecting stamps or
brewing your own beer.
Everybody has an interest.
My neighbor polishes his 1967
Cadillac every other day, said
Tommy Danielson, 40, the direc-
tor of sales at a telecommunica-
tions company. The Chicago resi-
dent organized the trip, called a
MegaDo frequent flier lingo
for a large group of people meet-
ing up to talk miles. It was the
fourth such adventure Danielson
has put together since 2009.
Along the way, there was plen-
tyof braggingabout mileage runs
cheap flights taken only to ac-
cumulate enoughmiles toqualify
for elite status.
Michael Rubiano, a Silicon Val-
ley product manager did six such
roundtrips to Chicago over eight
days last month. He would catch
a flight after work, sleep on the
way to Chicago, immediately
turn around and sleep on the
flight home. Rubiano, 41, then
showered in the San Francisco
lounge, changed clothes and
went to work only to repeat the
trip eight hours later.
Each of his six tickets cost him
less than $200 and, thanks to
some bonus offers, earned him
11,076 miles on American to be
used later for a dream vacation.
All told, that gave him 66,456
miles and put himover the top in
his annual quest to re-qualify for
the airlines top elite status.
With that status he gets: anoth-
er year of upgrades, free liquor,
waived bag frees, the ability to
skip security lines and double
miles on all his flights. Compare
that to the folks in the back who
get ... well, theres a reason some
in the industry refer to coach pas-
sengers as self-loading freight.
There were numerous folks

Aviation camp gives avid flyers

for aviation geeks, 160 frequent fliers chartered an American Airlines jet and hopped across the country visiting aviation-industry spots.
