Confrontation fuels
new fears of wider

TEL HAZEKA, Golan Heights
— Israeli tanks struck a Syrian
artillery launcher Monday after
a stray mortar shell flew into
Israel-held territory, the first
direct clash between the neighbors since the Syrian uprising
began nearly two years ago.
The confrontation fueled new
fears that the Syrian civil war
could drag Israel into the violence, a scenario with grave consequences for the region. The
fighting has already spilled into
Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey.
“We are closely monitoring what is happening and will
respond appropriately. We will
not allow our borders to be violated or our citizens to be fired
upon,” Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu said Monday in a
speech to foreign ambassadors.
While officials believe President Bashar Assad has no interest in picking a fight with Israel,
they fear the embattled Syrian
leader may try to draw Israel
into the fighting in a bout of desperation. Israeli officials believe
it is only a matter of time before
Syrian rebels topple the longtime leader.

The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — President
Barack Obama is considering asking Sen. John Kerry,
D-Mass., to serve as his next
defense secretary, part of an
extensive rearrangement of his
national security team that will
include a permanent replacement for former CIA director
David Petraeus.
Although Mr. Kerry is
thought to covet the job of secretary of state, senior administration officials familiar with transition planning said that nomination will almost certainly go
to Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
John Brennan, Mr. Obama’s
chief counterterrorism adviser,
is a leading contender for the
CIA job if he wants it, officials said. If Mr. Brennan goes
ahead with his plan to leave
government, Michael Morell,
the agency’s acting director, is
the prohibitive favorite to take
over permanently. Officials
cautioned that the White House
discussions are still in the early

Monday beneath the statue of George Washington atop
the Washington County Courthouse. The courthouse
dome got a new coat of paint ahead of wintry weather.
It was shortly before 10 p.m.
Sunday in Highland Park
when two officers pulled over
a man for a traffic infraction
at Stanton Avenue and Farragut Street in what police
described as a routine stop.
Two officers approached —
one officer on the driver’s side
and Officer David Derbish, a
26-year-old who was hired in
2009, on the passenger side.
Police said the driver, Leon
Ford, 19, of East Liberty,
refused to answer questions
after Officer Derbish and his
partner ran his license and
the car’s registration. They
said Officer Derbish thought
he spotted Mr. Ford move his
right hand, as if reaching for
something, and opened the
passenger door in an effort to
stop him.
Mr. Ford threw the car into
drive and Officer Derbish
jumped inside to avoid being
dragged, police said.
They said Mr. Ford
attempted to push Officer Derbish out of the car and the officer then fired his duty weapon
into Mr. Ford’s chest three
times.
Mr. Ford drove about 100
yards before crashing into
a rocky landscaping feature
Medics took him to UPMC
Presbyterian, where he was
listed in critical but stable
condition Monday night.
“The officer fired a weapon
in self-defense,” Deputy Chief
Paul Donaldson said. “The
actor was struck several times
and subsequently the vehicle
crashed into a residence in
the 6000 block of Stanton Avenue.”
Officer Derbish was thrown
against the dashboard and
windshield, injured his hand
and was treated at UPMC
Mercy. He was placed on leave
because of his injury, Major
Crimes Lt. Daniel Herrmann
said in a news release, and
city homicide detectives, in
conjunction with the Allegheny County district attorney’s
office, are investigating.
Chief Donaldson said it was
too early to judge the officer’s
actions as police continued to
gather information on how
the situation unraveled.

superintendent Linda Lane
knew she would get bad news
in the annual report of A+
Schools, which Monday outlined declines in achievement,
the graduation rate, number of
students qualifying for Pittsburgh Promise scholarships
and reduction in college readiness in her district.
But she said the district is
already working to stem the
tide.
In addition
to the academic
declines, there
was more bad

“I believe problems have

Lane said at the presentation
of the eighth annual Report
to the Community on Public
School Progress in Pittsburgh.
Much of the information in the
report was already reflected in
the district’s 2012 PSSA scores,
which showed some significant
achievement drops and the district’s failure to meet Adequate
Yearly Progress as defined by
the No Child Left Behind Act.

“Bromide concentrations

At Ramsey Elementary in
the Gateway School District, 45
students have food allergies. As
of now, they all sit with peers
at lunch, but some are placed at
the end of the table to minimize
cross-contamination of foods.
At Moss Side Middle School
in the same district, 32 students
have food allergies. They all sit
with other students in the cafeteria unless the parents request
a separate area.
“It all depends on how
severe the allergies are,” said
Cara Zanella, Gateway spokeswoman, who checked with
several principals on how they
handle food allergies at school.
But food allergies can be a
stubborn problem, depending
on the parties involved.
On Sunday, the parents of a
former student in the Fox Chapel Area School District filed a
lawsuit in federal court, charging that Fairview Elementary
School didn’t properly accommodate their son’s allergy to
tree nuts — walnuts, almonds,
hazelnuts, cashews, pistachios
and Brazil nuts — as required
by law. Despite telling the

during the PSSA exams and
the lack of funding for interim
assessments in the 2011-12
school year contributed to the
decrease in achievement. This
year the interim assessments,
which help identify areas
where students might be struggling, have been reinstituted.
Ms. Lane said that as a result
of the increased security surrounding the test, which was
implemented to reduce the possibility of cheating, teachers felt
less inclined to offer encouragement and the testing envirnonment was less releaxed for
students.
Carey Harris, executive
director of A+ Schools, said she
had never delivered so much
bad news in the eight years
she’s been giving the annual
report.
News of a widening of the
racial achievement gap was
expecially disappointing,
since last year’s scores had
decreased it significantly. At
that time, Ms. Harris said if
the district continued at the
pace it had set for the previous four years, it would have
taken 40 years to close the gap
in math and 34 years in reading. Based in 2011 test scores,
the gap would close in 24 years
if the pace was kept.
But the 2012 results show the
gap widened this year, increasing by 1.3 percentage points
to 31.9 percent in reading and
increased 3.6 percentage points
to 30.9 in math.
Ms. Harris said she didn’t
have a specific number of years
calculated for closing the gap,
but “we know when it widens it
will take longer.”
The district’s graduation
rate decreased from 70 percent
to 68.5 percent and the number
of seniors who earned a 2.5
or higher grade point average — needed to qualify for
Pittsburgh Promise scholarships — dropped 1 percentage
point to 58 percent of students.
For black students, the number
dropped 4 percentage points to
39 percent.
Saleem Ghubril, executive
director of the Pittsburgh
Promise, said he had not seen
the A+ report but he was not
surprised by the news.
“The African-American population is the most vulnerable
population in the Pittsburgh
Public Schools, especially the
males,” Mr. Ghubril said.
To help more AfricanAmericans qualify for Promise
scholarships, the Promise has
recruited volunteers who will
work, starting in January, with
students to reach the grade
level needed for a Promise
scholarship.
For academic achievement,
A+ didn’t look just at Pennsylvania System of School
Assessment exam but looked at
whether students at each grade
level made a year’s growth in
achievement from the previous
assessment.
In reading, a total of 91
percent of Pittsburgh public
schools with seventh- and
eighth-grade students made a
year’s worth or more growth in
reading.
But 42 percent of schools
with fourth-grade students
made less than a year’s growth.
“nut-free table,” the suit says,
the school made him sit alone
at lunch, apart from the other
students, resulting in teasing
and humiliation.
The student still had several
allergic episodes at school,
the suit says, due to lack of a
sufficient plan to protect him.
When the parents withdrew
him, the district filed truancy
citations, the suit says. The boy
now attends a private school;
the parents are seeking tuition
reimbursement.
The district said yesterday
that it has accommodated students with food allergies and
that the case was heard last
summer by a hearing officer
who found in favor of the district.
“We are confident that the
federal court will agree with
that decision,” the superintendant’s office said in a statement.
That hearing officer’s report,
dated Aug. 14, said the district
met its obligations to educate
the student and did not owe any
reimbursement. But the officer
also found that by filing truancy complaints, then repeatedly postponing the hearings
before a district magistrate,
the district retaliated against
the parents for their advocacy
under the Rehabilitation Act.
A federal judge can overturn
the hearing officer’s finding.
Angel Waldron, spokesperson for the Asthma and
Allergy Foundation of America
in Washington, D.C., said that
even in cases of severe allergy,
litigation can be avoided
through cooperation.
“When parents work
together with the school nurse
and administration so they

And 39.4 percent of schools with
fifth-graders did while among
schools with sixth-graders, 59.1
percent made less than a year’s
growth. Data for Pittsburgh
schools with 11th-graders show
that 44 percent made less than
one year’s growth in reading.
In math, achievement measurements were best in grades
six and seven: 68 percent of
schools with sixth-grade students made a year or more
growth as did 73.9 percent
with seventh-graders. But in
schools with fifth-graders, 72
percent of students achieved
less than one year’s growth.
Of schools with eighth-graders
65 percent showed less than a
year’s growth as did 67 percent
of schools with first-graders. In
schools with fourth-graders, 46
percent demonstrated less than
a year’s growth in math.
The report also included
comparisons of Pittsburgh
PSSA scores to the state averages in 2009-2012. In reading,
in grades 6-8 and 11, Pittsburgh
students gains far exceeded
the state average. In reading
in grades 3-5, though, reading
scores dropped 1.2 percentage
points, compared with a 1-point
percentage drop statewide.
In math, again grades 6-8
showed gains higher than the
state averages. But in grades
3-5, there was a 3.2 percentage
point drop, compared with a 0.4
drop statewide.
In 11th grade math, Pittsburgh’s performance remained
static while the statewide average showed a 4.4 percentage
point increase.
Enrollment decreased by
1,052 students to 24,918, with the
sharpest declines at the elementary level. But Ms. Lane said
she was encouraged by an 11
percent increase in kindergarten enrollment this fall.
Some bright spots included
the fact that the number of students enrolled in one or more
advanced placement courses
increased 1 percentage point
to 15.2 percent and that there
were some schools with a
racial achievement gap of 10
percent or less.
In reading there were seven
Pittsburgh schools with a 10
percent or smaller gap. They
are: Allegheny K-5; Dilworth
pre-K-5; Fulton pre-K-5; Phillips
K-5; Sterrett 6-8; CAPA 6-12;
and Science & Technology 6-12.
Two charter schools, City High
Carter and the Urban League
of Pittsburgh Charter School,
showed a gap of 10 percent or
less.
In math, schools with a
10 percent or smaller racial
achievement gap are: Dilworth
pre-K-5; Fulton pre-K-5; Phillips
K-5; Whittier K-5; CAPA 6-12;
Science & Technology 6-12; and
City Charter High School.
Ms. Harris said the schools
are becoming more diverse
with higher percentages of
Hispanic and Asian students.
The student body is also poorer,
with the percentage of students
eligible for free or reduced
lunches 3 percentage points
higher than in 2010-11 at 71.3
percent.

PORTFOLIO
Petraeus affair conspiracy is well-cloaked
W
hen President Barack
Obama failed to show up
mentally for the first presidential debate in Denver,
there was immediate speculation
that he was preoccupied with some
looming domestic or foreign policy
crisis the rest of us weren’t privy to.
Looking back at that debate now, it
is tempting to imagine the reason for
Mr. Obama’s lassitude boils down to a
variation of the following complaint:
“How did I end up with a director of
the Central Intelligence Agency who is not
only ‘shagging’ his official biographer, but
leaves an email bread crumb trail visible
enough for even the FBI to follow?”
Alas, according to every credible source
so far, Mr. Obama wasn’t briefed about CIA
Director David H. Petraeus’ extra-marital
affair until the day after the election, which
is weeks after House Majority Leader Eric
Cantor allegedly found out about it. Mr.
Cantor, a Republican, was tipped off by an
FBI agent freelancing the information outside the bureau’s chain of command.
Last Thursday, Mr. Petraeus told the
president that he’d let down the American
people and offered to resign. Mr. Obama
had been counting on Mr. Petraeus sticking
around for his second term because he has
been an outstanding leader at the CIA. The
president wasn’t eager to take one of America’s most effective assets in the counterterrorism game off the board.
After brooding overnight, Mr. Obama
accepted his CIA director’s resignation
early Friday morning. That’s when the
most titillating Washington sex scandal in
years took over the headlines.
Still licking its wounds after Gov.
Mitt Romney’s Election Day defeat, the
need to be taken, usually we
can find a happy medium,” Ms.
Waldron said.
Food allergies remain an
issue, she noted, with cases
doubling over the past 20 years
although the incidence has
leveled off. Some allergies are
severe enough to cause death —
the Archives of Internal Medicine says that 200 people die
each year from food allergies.
“We had a patient who
couldn’t go into the school cafeteria at all if they were serving
anything with tree nuts,” Ms.
Waldron said. “He had to eat
lunch in the nurse’s office.”
Told of the Fox Chapel case,
she said: “It sounds like what
they did may not have been the
best thing socially for the child,
but if the allergy was severe
enough …”
The AAFA has no specific
best practices for schools to follow regarding what an individual student plan should contain
or where to place allergic children during meals. It publishes
only general policy standards
and recommends that states follow them.
For example, it wants states
to require each school to have
a full-time nurse; districts to
provide case managements for
students with chronic health
conditions; states to fund staff
training in food allergies; and
allergies and asthma to be
included in the health curriculum for all students.
The AAFA has a state
“honor roll” recognizing those
that adopt the policies into law.
Six or seven states are on the
list, Ms. Waldron said.
Pennsylvania is not one of
them.

right-wing media
and blogosphere
quickly pivoted
from grudging mea
culpas to a new
meme — President
Obama “iced” his
own CIA director to
prevent him from
TONY
testifying this week
before Congress.
This narrative
assumes that under
oath, Mr. Petraeus would be forced to
break with the administration and “tell the
truth” about the death of the four Americans killed during a terrorist attack on our
consulate in Benghazi on Sept. 11.
Because the president is nothing if not
a human lint brush for paranoid theories
of every imaginable stripe, this is to be
expected with a story as murky as this one.
The proximity of the Benghazi hearings
and the timing of Mr. Petraeus’ resignation
shortly after the election, when at least one
Republican in the House has known about
“l’affaire Petraeus” since the summer,
makes this story an irresistible jump ball
for the political press already bored with
narratives about how the GOP screwed up.
Still, not even the most imaginative conspiracy theorist has been able to come up
with an explanation for why Mr. Cantor, a
partisan Tea Party ideologue, sat on such
explosive information in the weeks leading
up to the election instead of exploiting it on
behalf of the GOP.
Are we to assume that Mr. Cantor, like
Mr. Petraeus, was concerned with “protecting” Mr. Obama from embarrassment on
the eve of his historic re-election? Hardly. It
is more likely that Mr. Cantor assumed Mr.
Romney already had the election in the bag
even without the Petraeus scandal greasing the rails.
If anything, Mr. Cantor probably wanted
to keep his powder dry until the Benghazi
hearings. That’s when embarrassing info
about Mr. Petraeus would have most likely
“leaked” from any number of self-interested quarters if he stuck with the Obama
administration version of events. Still, the
House majority leader’s discretion so far
has been admirable, whatever his motives
for keeping his mouth shut.
Lots of folks in Congress are upset that
they weren’t briefed about the FBI’s investigation of potential security breaches at the
CIA when any number of them would’ve
broken all land speed records in leaking
the info to the media for short-term political gain.
A more interesting question is how the
FBI got to go on a fishing expedition that
ultimately led to Mr. Petraeus’ resignation, even after it determined early on that
the former CIA director’s lover had not
compromised national security. Is the FBI
engaged in a petty vendetta of some kind?
How does an FBI agent leak info to Eric
Cantor and keep his job? This is actually
the sleaziest part of this affair — not the
adultery.
There’s a reason that the Obama administration gets poor marks from civil libertarians. In many ways, the Justice Department under Eric Holder is as bad as its predecessor. From busting users of medicinal
marijuana to the incompetent handling
of the Petraeus affair, we’re all way past
ready for new DOJ leadership.

Untapped potential
of Larimer’s water
is now on display
water. We need green infrastructure,
and if everybody got on board, the city
would have less flooding and we would
keep a natural resource” instead of letting it flow away.
Like Mr. Pantone, Deborah Jones is
among several residents featured in the
video in the Mattress Factory installation. She said residents are just as
important to Larimer’s revitalization
as are the city and the Urban Redevelopment Authority.
“The community belongs to the people,” she said.
During her time here, Ms. Damon
met with groups to talk about hydraulic
fracturing, visited Alcosan and sought
out activist residents.
Water and environmental issues have
been at the core of her own activism and
art.
She hadn’t done an installation in
years, but the show’s curator, Hilary
Robinson, an art professor at Carnegie Mellon University, invited her to do one here,
said Owen Smith, exhibits manager at the
Mattress Factory.
Ms. Damon founded Keepers of the
Waters in 1991 and has been using her
vision, according to the Mattress Factory’s
website, to “inspire and promote projects
that combine art, science, and community
involvement to restore, preserve and remediate water sources.”
The title of the show, for which Ms. Robinson chose six feminist artists, signifies
that feminists aren’t confined to so-called
feminist issues.
“Feminist and …” runs through May
26, 2013, at the Mattress Factory, which is
located at 500 Sampsonia Way with its public entrance on Jacksonia Street.
L
arimer is one of Pittsburgh’s lesser
known neighborhoods, but New York
artist Betsy Damon discovered it during a lengthy stay in Pittsburgh preparing
for the ongoing show “Feminist and...” at
the Mattress Factory in the Central North
Side.
A shallow pool of water in sand nearly
fills the lower-level room in which Ms.
Damon’s work, “Water Rules — Life, Pittsburgh: Seeking Lost Rivers, Living Waters
of Larimer,” is staged. Stepping stones lead
viewers to the back of the room, where a topographic model shows Larimer sitting on a
plateau surrounded by large strips of roadway while a short video plays. Sandbags
are stacked on each side of the pool. Two
catchment structures are stacked to create
a waterfall that trickles into the pool.
The pool itself does not say “Larimer”
any more than it says any place. As Ms.
Damon states on her website, keepersofthewaters.org, all water is connected in a lifesustaining loop. A stream that runs to the
Monongahela River runs to the Ohio River
that runs to the Mississippi River that flows
down to New Orleans and out into the Gulf
Of Mexico.
Larimer just happens to be a terrific site
for water retention. It sits above Negley
Run Road and Washington Boulevard and
has a significant grass-roots “green” plan
that calls for a water collection project that
would keep rain in the neighborhood from
flowing out.
“Every drop,” said Bob Bingham, an

environmental artist who teaches at Carnegie Mellon University. He drove Ms. Damon
around the area of the August 2011 deadly
flooding on Washington Boulevard.
Mr. Bingham is writing a grant application for funds that would cover more than
half of the $1.5 million cost of creating a
conveyance system in Larimer to capture
rain water and divert it to wetland demonstrations, to cisterns for reuse in the community garden, to an irrigation demonstration, an aquaponics greenhouse and a water
park.
Ms. Damon and Mr. Bingham are collaborating on the project with the Larimer
Green Team, the Kingsley Association and
the Larimer Consensus Group.
“We are on a plateau, and also there is
a lot of vacant land and condemned property in Larimer,” said Albert Pantone, a
manager of the Larimer Community Garden. “The time couldn’t be more perfect

Leaders depart as credibility of British institution falls under scrutiny
2 more BBC execs withdraw amid crisis
WORLD
BRIEFS
Israel weighs
retaliation
JERUSALEM — Gaza
militants pummeled southern Israel with rockets for a
third day in a row Monday,
increasing internal pressure
on the Israeli government to
retaliate.
A million Israelis are in
range of the rockets. Israeli
leaders have warned they
won’t tolerate continued barrages and have threatened a
more forceful response.
Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu told
foreign ambassadors that
Israel would defend itself. He
spoke during a visit to Ashkelon, a southern city that
has been battered by Gaza
rockets.
Israeli Defense Minister
Ehud Barak met with the
military chief of staff and
other senior officials Monday
evening to determine how to
respond to the rocket fire.
More than 110 rockets
have hit Israeli towns since
the latest round began, the
military said.
By Alan Cowell
and John F. Burns
The New York Times
LONDON — The BBC
struggled Monday to contain a
spreading crisis over its reporting of a decades-old sexual abuse
scandal as two senior executives
withdrew temporarily from
their jobs following the resignation of the corporation’s director
general in the worst setback to
the public broadcaster’s status,
prestige and self-confidence for
years.
The BBC’s website said its
director of news, Helen Boaden,
and her deputy, Stephen Mitchell, had “stepped aside,” the latest
moves since a flagship current
affairs program, “Newsnight,”
wrongly implicated a former
Conservative Party politician in
accusations of sexual abuse at a
children’s home in North Wales
in the 1970s and 1980s.
The BBC management said
that while neither Ms. Boaden
nor Mr. Mitchell “had anything
at all to do with the failed ‘Newsnight’ investigation” of the
politician, Alistair McAlpine, it
“believes there is a lack of clarity in the lines of command and
control in BBC News” because
of an inquiry into a separate
“Newsnight” debacle — the cancellation of a program a year ago
into allegations of sexual abuse
by Jimmy Savile, a longtime
BBC television host who died
last year at age 84.
The BBC said the two executives would step aside until the
end of that investigation, which
is being conducted by Nick Pollard, a former head of the rival
Sky News.
The BBC said its head of news
gathering, Fran Unsworth, and
Ceri Thomas, the editor of the
“Today” current affairs radio
program, are to fill in for the
executives who stepped aside.
Tim Davie, 45, an executive
with a background in marketing who is director of the BBC’s
radio operations, is to serve as
the acting director general. In
a videotaped interview posted
by the BBC, Mr. Davie also said
he would take a short period to
deliberate.
“I’ve just got into the job,” he
said. “I’m going to take a bit of
time to look through the recommendations, and then we’ll take
the disciplinary process through
and be fair to those individuals.”
He added: “The BBC has lost a
director-general in this process.
That in itself is very significant,
and he has taken responsibility.”
Accounts published in Britain’s newspapers, citing current
and former BBC staff members
familiar, said the “Newsnight”
team had worked with an independent group, the Bureau of
Investigative Journalism at
the City University in London,
in preparing the Nov. 2 report
that wrongly implicated Mr.
McAlpine.
The privately funded bureau
was founded in 2009 to investigate controversial issues and,
in its own words, to provide
a “gold standard” for reporting. It has used experienced
journalists and students at the
university’s journalism school,
often in conjunction with mainstream media organizations like
the BBC, which have paid the
bureau for its work.
In a statement, the bureau’s
board of trustees has said it was
“appalled by what appears to be
a breach” of standards and that
“remedial action will be taken
against those responsible.”
The bureau’s work for the
report was led by a former BBC
reporter, Angus Stickler, who
was loaned to “Newsnight” and
worked jointly under a BBC
producer and the bureau’s own
managing editor, Iain Overton,

Action on Greece delayed
ISRAEL, FROM PAGE A-1
BRUSSELS — Eurozone
finance ministers have ended
a meeting in Brussels on
Monday without agreeing on
the next batch of bailout aid
for Greece.
Jean-Claude Juncker, the
head of the eurogroup, said
the finance ministers hoped
to reach a final agreement at
an extraordinary meeting to
be held next Tuesday, which
he said would be a continuation of Monday’s meeting.
However, finance ministers did agree that Greece
could have two additional
years — until 2022 — to meet
its debt reduction target.
New term on rights council
UNITED NATIONS —
The United States was reelected Monday to another
three-year term on the U.N.
Human Rights Council in the
only contested election for
the organization’s top human
rights body.
The U.S. was competing
with four countries for three
open seats belonging to the
Western Group on the council. Germany and Ireland
also were elected by the
193-member General Assembly. Greece and Sweden lost
out.
U.S. Ambassador to the
U.N. Susan Rice said her
country was “pleased and
proud to have been re-elected
to a second three-year term.”
Rustlers ambush police
NDJAMENA, Chad
— More than 10 Kenyan
police officers, and possibly
as many as 31, have been
killed by cattle rustlers in an
ambush in a remote part of
northern Kenya known as
death valley, Kenyan officials
said Monday, in of one the
more brazen cases in recent
years in the war against livestock thieves.
According to Kenya’s
internal security ministry,
the officers were attacked
around 4 a.m. Saturday in
Samburu North, an arid,
sparsely populated district
several hours north of Nairobi, the capital.
The ministry said the officers were trying to recover
stolen livestock when they
were waylaid by bandits
from the Turkana ethnic
group, one of the poorest,
most marginalized groups in
Kenya, with a reputation for
being fierce pastoralists.
Cleric won’t be deported
LONDON — A radical Muslim preacher who
praised the 911 bombings and
preached terrorist violence
against Christians and Jews
won his final appeal against
a British government deportation order Monday.
The judgment was a
severe blow to Home Secretary Theresa May, who has
long sought Abu Qatada’s
deportation to face trial in
Jordan, where he is wanted
on terror charges.
The government’s loss was
compounded by the decision
of Judge John Mitting, head
of the Immigration Appeals
Court where Mr. Qatada’s
final appeal was heard, that
the cleric be released on
bail Tuesday — albeit under
severe restrictions on his
contacts with the outside
world and a 16-hour-a-day
curfew.

a former BBC producer who
resigned Monday.
Several of those involved in
the preparation of the “Newsnight” report have been quoted
in British papers as saying that
errors included not calling Mr.
McAlpine for a response and not
showing a former child home resident interviewed for the report,
Steve Messham, a photograph of
Mr. McAlpine to identify him. Mr.
Messham has apologized to Mr.
McAlpine, tracing the confusion
to the police identification of a
photograph of a man he identified
as his abuser in the early 1990s.
The latest debacle has compounded the problems facing the
network since accusations last
month against Savile, who was
suspected of having sexually
abused as many as 300 young
people. Critics have accused the
BBC of covering up the abuse by
canceling a “Newsnight” report
on the accusations against him
in December.

Witnesses differ with U.S. on timing of Libya attack
By Nancy A. Youssef
McClatchy Newspapers
BENGHAZI, Libya — Witnesses in Benghazi, Libya, provide a chronology for the Sept. 11
attack on the U.S. consulate here
that differs in significant ways
from timelines released by U.S.
officials in Washington, raising
more questions about how the
assault unfolded and the speed
with which Americans at a
nearby CIA annex responded to
calls for help from the consulate.
The versions of the attack
told here indicate that the last
visitor who met with Ambassador Chris Stevens, who died
in the assault on the consulate,
departed at least 45 minutes earlier than U.S. officials in Washington have said. Witnesses
here also suggest that the attack
may have begun as many as 15
minutes earlier than officials in
Washington have said.

everyone agrees was his last official act. While State Department
officials said Stevens escorted
the Turkish consul out of the
compound at 8:30 p.m., a guard
at the compound and an official
familiar with the meeting said
Mr. Akin left at 7:45 p.m.
A security guard said he distinctly remembered the time
of the meeting because about a
half-hour before Mr. Akin was
scheduled to meet with Stevens,
the ambassador approached the
guard, introduced himself and
asked what security measures
were needed to allow the Turkish consul to enter. Stevens told
him Mr. Akin would arrive at
6:30 p.m. for an hour-long meeting.
As the guard and Stevens
spoke, the protests in Cairo had
been going on for nearly two
hours. Stevens didn’t mention
the film to the guard, and no one
from the compound warned the
guard about possible protests
throughout the night, the guard
said.
Mr. Akin arrived on time and
the men met for an hour, the
guard said.
The guard made a note of the
time of Mr. Akin’s arrival and
departure in a book in which the
guards tracked all movements,
he said.
State Department officials
have said the attack started at
9:40 p.m., a time that the CIA
timeline also sets as the approximate beginning. A Pentagon
account of its response said the
assault started at 9:42 p.m.
But two guards at the compound told McClatchy that the
attack began earlier; one said at
9:25 p.m. and the other at 9:35.
Behind the compound, at a
nearby restaurant, a Western
diplomat who was having dinner heard a mortar round go off
around 9:30 p.m.

Witnesses also said there was
no indication that anyone in the
U.S. diplomatic compound was
aware before the assault that
protests had broken out in neighboring Egypt over an inflammatory film about the Prophet
Muhammad that was produced
in the United States.
The differences in the timelines could mean that CIA officers stationed in a compound just
1.2 miles away may have waited
as long as 40 minutes before setting out to assist the besieged
consulate and might not have
arrived there until more than an
hour after the attack began.
At a minimum, the witness
accounts suggest that after two
months,theU.S.governmentstill
may not know the basic sequence
of events and when key moments
in the assault occurred.

By Graham Bowley
The New York Times
HERAT, Afghanistan — One
of the most powerful former
mujahedeen commanders in
Afghanistan, Ismail Khan, is
calling on his followers to reorganize and defend the country
as Western militaries withdraw,
in a public demonstration of faltering confidence in the national
government and the Westernbuilt Afghan National Army.
Mr. Khan is one of the strongest of a group of warlords who
defined the country’s recent
history in battling the Soviets,
the Taliban and one another,
and who then were brought into
President Hamid Karzai’s Cabinet as a symbol of unity. Now, in
announcing that he is remobilizing his forces, Mr. Khan has rankled Afghan officials and stoked
fears that other regional and
factional leaders will follow suit
and re-arm, weakening support
for the government and increasing the likelihood of civil war.
This month, Mr. Khan rallied
thousands of his supporters in
the desert outside Herat, the cultured western provincial capital
and the center of his power base,
urging them to coordinate and
Afghan President
Hamid Karzai
reactivate their networks. And
he has begun enlisting new
recruits and organizing district
command structures.
“We are responsible for maintaining security in our country
and not letting Afghanistan be
destroyed again,” Mr. Khan, the
minister of energy and water,
said at a news conference over
the weekend at his offices in
Kabul. But after facing weeks
of criticism, he took care not to
frame his action as defying the
government: “There are parts
of the country where the government forces cannot operate, and
in such areas the locals should
step forward, take arms and
defend the country.”
Mr. Karzai and his aides,
however, were not greeting it as
an altruistic gesture. The governor of Herat province called Mr.
Khan’s reorganization an illegal
challenge to the national security forces. And Mr. Karzai’s
spokesman, Aimal Faizi, tersely
criticized Mr. Khan.
“The remarks by Ismail
Khan do not reflect the policies
of the Afghan government,” Mr.
Faizi said. “The government of
Afghanistan and the Afghan
people do not want any irresponsible armed grouping outside
the legitimate security forces
structures.”
In Kabul, Mr. Khan’s provocative actions have played out in
news media and brought a fierce
reaction from some members of
Parliament, who said the former
warlords were preparing to take
advantage of the U.S. troop withdrawal set for 2014.
“People like Ismail Khan
smell blood,” Belqis Roshan, a
senator from Farah province,
said in an interview. “They
think that as soon as foreign
forces leave Afghanistan, once
again they will get the chance
to start a civil war, and achieve
their ominous goals of getting
rich and terminating their local
rivals.”

The conflict has already
spilled over into several of Syria’s other neighbors — whether
in direct violence or in the flood
of refugees fleeing the bloodshed. More than 36,000 Syrians
have been killed in the fighting,
according to estimates by antiAssad activists.
On Monday, a Syrian fighter
jet bombed a rebel-held area
hugging the border with Turkey
three times, killing 15 to 20 people, according to a Turkish official. Separately, eight wounded
Syrians died in Turkey, the official said, speaking on condition
of anonymity because he was not
authorized to brief the media.
Potential Israeli involvement
in Syria could be far more explosive. The bitter enemies both
possess air forces, tanks, and
significant arsenals of missiles
and other weapons.
Although the Israeli military
is more modern and powerful,
Syria has a collection of chemical weapons that could wreak
havoc if deployed. Fighting
between the countries could
also drag in a close Syrian ally,
the Lebanese guerrilla group
Hezbollah, or Islamic militant
groups in the Gaza Strip on Israel’s southern flank.
Israeli political scientist Dore
Gold, an informal adviser to Mr.
Netanyahu, described Israel’s
reaction Monday as a “carefully
calibrated response.”
“On the one hand, it shows
Israel’s determination to protect
its civilians, and at the same
time it indicates it doesn’t want
to get drawn in,” he said.
Israel has warily watched the
fighting in Syria for months,
carefully trying to avoid any
involvement. It has found itself
in a difficult position as the
fighting rages near the frontier
with the Golan Heights, a strategic plateau it captured from
Syria in 1967 and later annexed.
A number of mortar shells
have landed in the Golan in the
past week. Early this month,
Syrian tanks accidentally
crossed into a buffer zone along
the frontier for the first time in
nearly 40 years.
Israel responded for the
first time Sunday, firing what
it called a “warning shot”
into Syria after a mortar shell
landed near an Israeli military
post. Israel also warned of a
tougher response if the attacks
persisted.
In Monday’s incident, the military said it reported “direct hits”
on a mobile artillery launcher
after another shell struck the
Golan. It would not say whether
the launcher belonged to the
Syrian army, saying only it had
targeted the “source of fire.”
The Israeli military believes
the mortar fire is spillover from
internal fighting in Syria and
not aimed at Israel. But officials say they are beginning to
question that assessment after
repeated breaches of the frontier.
The incident began when Syrian military units were shelling
gunmen in the twin Syrian villages of Bariqa and Bir Ajam,
only several hundred yards from
Israeli-held territory. A Syrian shell struck the Golan less
than 100 yards from an Israeli
position. Israeli forces quickly
opened fire.
Israel has little love for Mr.
Assad, who has provided refuge
and support to Israel’s bitterest
enemies through the years. But
he and his father before him
have kept the frontier quiet for
nearly four decades, providing
a rare source of stability in the
volatile region.

BALTIMORE — Those who
expected Cardinal Timothy
Dolan to lambast election victories for same-sex marriage in
four states, including the one
where the Catholic bishops are
meeting this week, were surprised when he used his presidential address to urge the bishops to practice repentance and
confession.
The task of reviewing the
votes on same-sex marriage
fell to Archbishop Salvatore
Cordileone of San Francisco,
who warned that if the Supreme
Court takes up California’s ban
on same-sex marriage and rules
it unconstitutional, it will do to
marriage and family laws in the
United States what Roe v. Wade
did to bans on abortion 40 years
earlier.
“Marriage redefinition could
… be forced on the whole country, regardless of various state
protections,” he said.
The bishops paid attention,
but it was Cardinal Dolan’s talk
that drew a standing ovation.
“The premier answer to the
question ‘What’s wrong with the
world?’ is not politics, the economy, secularism, sectarianism,
globalization or global warming,” he said, quoting the British
writer G.K. Chesterton. “The
answer to the question ‘What’s
wrong with the world?’ is just
two words: I am.”
He wasn’t suggesting repenting of their convictions, but
aligning their hearts and souls
with Jesus.
The bishops must be “good
examples of humble, repentant
pastors, aware of our personal
and corporate sins, constantly
responding to the call of Jesus to
interior conversion,” he said.
He acknowledged that he
would be criticized for not
addressing burning public
issues but “first things first,” he
said.
Then the bishops reviewed
election-related issues. Archbishop Cordileone repeatedly
called the legal situation with
same-sex marriage “critical.”
The bishops and their allies
were “vastly outspent by those
seeking to redefine marriage.”
“We were narrowing the gap
and lost by just a small margin,” he said. “This is not a time
to give up but rather a time to
redouble our efforts.
He said many Catholics don’t
grasp the church’s understanding of the nature of marriage.
What gay rights groups regard
as marriage equality and legal
protection for partners and their
children, the bishops regard as
social engineering that undermines the most basic building
block of society. They believe
marriage is defined by the fact
that a man and a woman are
both necessary to create a baby.
“Marriage is not a matter of
two consenting adults simply
coming together for the state to
ratify their romantic relationship. Rather, marriage is the
only institution that unites a
man and a woman to each other
and to any children born of their
union. It’s child-centered, and
its meaning is written in our
nature,” Archbishop Cordileone
said.
He said the bishops are continuing a video series for young
Catholics about the nature of
marriage, including one formatted as a Spanish-language soap
opera.
“We try to be sensitive to people who disagree with us,” he
said at a news conference. “All
bishops are open to dialogue
with partners who disagree with
us on a whole range of issues.”

SECURITY, FROM PAGE A-1
phases and that no decisions
have been made.
Mr. Petraeus’ resignation
last week after revelations of an
extramarital affair have complicated what was already an
intricate puzzle to reassemble
the administration’s national
security and diplomatic pieces
for Mr. Obama’s second term.
The process has become further complicated by congressional ire over not being told that
Mr. Petraeus was under FBI
investigation, on top of what are
likely to be contentious closeddoor hearings this week over
administration actions surrounding the Sept. 11 attack on
the U.S. diplomatic mission in
Benghazi, Libya.
Ms. Rice, one of an inner
circle of aides who have been
with Mr. Obama since his first
presidential campaign in 2007,
is under particular fire over the
Benghazi incident, in which the
U.S. ambassador and three other
Americans were killed.
Some Republican lawmakers
have suggested that she was part
of what they suspect was an initial, election-related attempt to
portray the attack as a peaceful
demonstration that turned violent, rather than what the administration now acknowledges was
an organized terrorist assault.
Ms. Rice’s description, days
after the attack, of a protest gone
wrong was either intentionally
misleading or incompetent,
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.,
said Sunday. Ms. Rice, he said,
“would have an incredibly difficult time” winning Senate confirmation as secretary of state.
But several White House officials said Mr. Obama is prepared
to dig in his heels over her nomination to replace outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton.
Ms. Rice’s post-Benghazi
remarks on several television
news shows were merely a recitation of administration talking
points drawn directly from intelligence available at the time, said
the senior administration officials, who agreed to discuss the
closely held transition planning
only on the condition of anonymity.
Deputy Defense Secretary
Ashton Carter also has been
mentioned as a possible replacement for Defense Secretary Leon
Panetta, as has been Michele
Flournoy, former undersecretary for policy at the Pentagon.
The timing of a nomination for
Panetta’s successor is unclear.
On Monday, he said he had no
imminent plans to step down but
indicated that he was unlikely to
stay in the job for the duration of
Mr. Obama’s second term.
Several bishops reported on
other public policy initiatives.
They celebrated the lopsided
defeat of an assisted suicide initiative in Massachusetts, where
Cardinal Sean O’Malley said the
medical community, disabilities
rights groups and many liberal
political figures joined them in
opposition. The church was a
leader in another broad coalition in California that nearly
succeeded in passing an initiative to abolish the death penalty.
The bishops regarded 47 percent
for abolition as progress.
Archbishop William Lori
of Baltimore said the bishops
of Maryland, working with
other immigrant rights groups,
turned back strong initial opposition to pass a state version
of the Dream Act. It will allow
high school graduates who were
brought to the United States illegally as young children to attend
community colleges at in-state
tuition rates.
Archbishop Lori is the bishops’ point man on religious
freedom, which includes their
high-profile conflict with the
Obama administration over new
health care rules requiring most
employers to pay for contraceptives, sterilizations and morning-after drugs in their employees’ health insurance. They
aren’t satisfied with a proposed
compromise for religiously
affiliated hospitals and social
service agencies, and argue that
such institutions should fall
under the same exemption that
houses of worship do.
“It’s impossible to know how
the rule-making process will
turn out,” Archbishop Lori said.
“The political landscape is the
same, but so is our resolve to
eliminate the HHS mandate.”
Chris O’Meara/Associated Press
Jill Kelley leaves her home
Monday in Tampa, Fla. She is
identified as the woman who
allegedly received harassing
emails from David Petraeus’
paramour, Paula Broadwell.
“Who the hell knows,” Mr.
Panetta said, when asked by
reporters traveling with him
to Australia whether he would
remain in office for four more
years. “It’s no secret that at some
point I’d like to get back to California.”
Mr. Kerry did not respond to
requests for comment on his possible nomination at the Pentagon. A spokesperson, Jodi Seth,
said: “Senator Kerry’s only focus
right now is his job as senior
senator from Massachusetts and
chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee.”
But administration officials,
one of whom described Mr.
Kerry as a “war hero,” said his
qualifications for the defense
job included not only his naval
service in Vietnam but also his
knowledge of the budget and
experience in the diplomacy that
has increasingly become a part
of the defense portfolio. They
said the Democrats’ retention of
the Senate majority, with a net
gain of two seats, in last week’s
election provided a cushion
that allowed them to consider
Mr. Kerry’s departure from the
chamber.
Beyond complicating the
overhaul of the national security
team, Mr. Petraeus’ departure
will send ripples through management layers at the CIA.
Many had expected Mr.
Petraeus to stay in place for Mr.
Obama’s second term, and he
had spent recent months planning transitions at other key
posts at CIA headquarters. Now,
four of the agency’s most critical positions — director, deputy
director, head of the National
Clandestine Service and chief of
the Counterterrorism Center —
have become question marks.
Mr. Petraeus did not intend to
resign from his position until it
became clear that his extramarital affair with his biographer
would become public after a federal investigation of his email
accounts, according to two longtime military aides who admire
the retired general.
Within hours of Mr. Petraeus’
resignation Friday, his biography was excised from the CIA
website and replaced with that of
Mr. Morell.

ABOARD A U.S. MILITARY
AIRCRAFT — In a new twist
to the Gen. David Petraeus
sex scandal, the Pentagon
said early Tuesday that the
top American commander in
Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen,
is under investigation for
alleged “inappropriate communications” with a woman
who is said to have received
threatening emails from Paula
Broadwell, the woman with
whom Mr. Petraeus had an
extramarital affair.
Defense Secretary Leon
Panetta said in a written
statement issued to reporters
aboard his aircraft, en route
from Honolulu to Perth, Australia, that the FBI referred
the matter to the Pentagon on
Sunday.
Mr. Panetta said he ordered
a Pentagon investigation of
Gen. Allen on Monday.
A senior defense official
traveling with Mr. Panetta said
Gen. Allen’s communications
were with Jill Kelley, who has
been described as an unpaid
social liaison at MacDill Air
Force Base, Fla., which is
headquarters to the U.S. Central Command. She is not a
U.S. government employee.
Ms. Kelley is said to have
received threatening emails
from Ms. Broadwell, who is Mr.
Petraeus’ biographer and who
had an extramarital affair with
Mr. Petraeus that reportedly
began after he became CIA
director in September 2011.
Gen. Allen, a four-star
Marine general, succeeded
Petraeus as the top American
commander in Afghanistan in
July 2011.
tary of defense for intelligence,
also has been mentioned as a
candidate for CIA director.
If Mr. Morell ends up permanently in the job, he will need
to designate a new deputy and
would be in charge of other pending personnel decisions that Mr.
Petraeus had been poised to
make.
The head of the clandestine
service, John Bennett, was
talked out of retirement to take
that job and has signaled his
intent to step down in the coming months, current and former
officials said.
The top position in the Counterterrorism Center, which
carries out the CIA’s drone
campaign, is also expected to
come open. The current director, known by his cover name
“Roger,” has been in the job for
more than six years. Former CIA
officials said Roger has wanted
to be named director of the clandestine service but has a reputation for harshness toward subordinates and had been expected to
be passed over by Mr. Petraeus.

UPS ends Scouts grants
ATLANTA — The philanthropic arm of shipping
giant UPS said it will no
longer give money to the
Boy Scouts of America as
long as the group discriminates against gays, the second major corporation to
recently strip funding from
the scouts.
The UPS Foundation
made the change Thursday after an online petition protesting its annual
grants to the Boy Scouts
attracted more than 80,000
signatures. UPS, based in
Atlanta, follows computer
chip maker Intel in withdrawing corporate support
for the Boy Scouts.
The UPS Foundation gave
more than $85,000 to the Boy
Scouts in 2011, according to
its federal tax return.
Probe looks at natural gas
INDIANAPOLIS — The
search for what caused a
massive, deadly explosion
that rocked an Indianapolis
neighborhood turned to
natural gas Monday, with
the National Transportation
Safety Board checking gas
lines and a homeowner saying a problem furnace could
be to blame.
Local gas supplier Citizens Energy said it also was
checking gas lines and
a meter at the home that
exploded. But officials cautioned that it was too soon to
rule out other causes, saying
only that they do not believe
a meth lab was to blame.
John Shirley, 50, owner

Hostess closing 3 bakeries
DALLAS — Hostess
Brands Inc. is permanently
closing three bakeries following a nationwide strike
by its bakers union.
The maker of Twinkies,
Ding Dongs and Wonder
Bread said Monday that the
strike has prevented it from
producing and delivering
products, and it is closing
bakeries in Seattle, St. Louis
and Cincinnati. The facilities employ 627 workers.
Hostess, based in Irving,
Texas, operates 36 bakeries
nationwide and has about
18,300 employees. It warned
earlier this month that the
strike, by about 30 percent of
its workforce, could lead to
bakery closures.

Flood insurance faces new stress
Superstorm Sandy expected to rank as 2nd worst for claims paid
By Eric Lipton,
Felicity Barringer
and Mary Williams Walsh
The New York Times
WASHINGTON — The federal government’s flood insurance program, which fell $18
billion into debt after Hurricane
Katrina, is once again at risk
of running out of money as the
daunting reconstruction from
Superstorm Sandy gets under
way.
Early estimates suggest that
Sandy will rank as the nation’s
second-worst storm for claims
paid out by the National Flood
Insurance Program. With
115,000 new claims submitted
and thousands more being filed
each day, the cost could reach $7
billion at a time when the program is allowed, by law, to add
only an additional $3 billion to
its onerous debt.
Congress, just this summer,
overhauled the flawed program
by allowing large increases in
premiums paid by vacationhomeowners and those repeatedly hit by floods. But critics say
taxpayer money should not be
used to bail it out again — essentially subsidizing the rebuilding
of homes in risky areas — without Congress’ mandating even
more radical changes.
“We are now just throwing
money to support something
that is going to end up creating
more victims and costing more
money in the future,” Rep. Earl
Blumenauer, D-Ore., said of
the program, which insures 5.7
million homes nationwide near
coasts or flood-prone rivers.
Even with the new rules, critics argue, it will be many years,
if ever, before many homeowners are required to pay premiums that accurately reflect the
market cost of the coverage.
Some communities have long
resisted imposing more appropriate building codes to prevent
damage, putting the program
at further risk of devastating
losses when storms like Sandy
hit. And despite some efforts in
recent years, many of the flood
maps the program relies on are
out of date — which can have
expensive, and even deadly, consequences in this era of rising
sea levels if homeowners are not
cognizant of the risks they face.
The program’s giant debt
makes matters worse because
simply covering the interest
owed the Treasury consumes
from $90 million to $750 million a year, depending on interest rates. This means it is much
harder to build reserves for
future catastrophes.
But others on Capitol Hill
argue that the changes adopted
in July are an important first
step, and that Congress must
give the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, which
runs the program, a chance to
apply them before any additional
changes are considered.
Already, 44 members of the
House of Representatives have
called for Congress to appropriate whatever money is needed to
help victims recover from Hurricane Sandy, and aides on Capitol Hill say that — under such
extreme losses — they expect
lawmakers will do what they
have to do to keep the program
solvent — even amid a federal
budget crisis.
The federal government’s
flood insurance program collects about $3.5 billion in annual
premiums. But in four of the
past eight years, claims will
have eclipsed premiums, most
glaringly in 2005 — the year of
Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and
Wilma — when claims totaled
$17.7 billion. Private insurance
companies have long avoided
offering flood insurance to homeowners.
“It’s like rat poison to them,”
said Tony Bullock, an insurance
industry lobbyist, explaining
how the risk outweighs the benefit for private insurers. “You
need the federal backstop.”
The pending costs for Hurricane Sandy would have been
even higher if a greater share of
residents along the East Coast
had signed up for the insurance, which is voluntary outside
the 100-year-flood zones. There
would also have been more
premium dollars, although not
enough to pay the claims.
The fact that many homeowners hit by Sandy have no flood or
homeowners insurance could
prompt Congress to provide
assistance to the uninsured,
too, as happened after Katrina,
further raising the cost to the
federal Treasury.
Officials in New Jersey and
New York say the federal government must move quickly to
put the flood insurance program
back on stable footing, even if
it means increasing the federal
deficit.
Hurricane Katrina put the
program so deeply into debt that
federal officials have acknowledged they will never be able to
fully repay the $18 billion Treasury-financed loan that bailed
the program out.
Democrats consider Romney fiscal proposal
By Jonathan Weisman
The New York Times
WASHINGTON — With both
parties positioning for difficult
negotiations to avert a fiscal crisis as Congress returns for its
lame-duck session, Democrats
are latching on to an idea floated
by Mitt Romney to raise taxes
on the rich through a hard cap
on income tax deductions.
The proposal by Mr. Romney, the Republican presidential nominee, was envisioned to
help pay for an across-the-board
income tax cut, a move ridiculed
by President Barack Obama as
window dressing to a “sketchy
deal.” But many Democrats now
see it as an important element
of a potential deficit-reduction
agreement — and one they can
claim to be bipartisan.
The cap — never fully detailed
by Mr. Romney — is similar
to a long-standing proposal by
Mr. Obama to limit income tax
deductions to 28 percent, even
for affluent households that pay
a 35 percent rate. But a firm cap
of around $35,000 would hit the
affluent even harder than Mr.
Obama’s proposal, which has
previously gotten nowhere in
Congress.
“Let’s just say there’s a
renewed interest,” said Sen.
Kent Conrad, D-N.D., chairman
of the Senate Budget Committee.
“Part of it is people reflecting
on Obama’s proposal, but when
Romney said what he said, it just
added fuel.”
“I was a little surprised Romney proposed a dollar cap when
he did it,” Mr. Conrad added.
The attention on the plan
is evidence that ideas on deficit reduction are beginning to
take firmer form as the January deadline for dealing with
expiring tax cuts and automatic
spending reductions draws
close. The lame-duck session
that begins today could be one
of the most pivotal in years, and
the political atmosphere is considerably different than when

lawmakers left in October for
the fall campaigns.
Mr. Obama has been reelected convincingly. Democrats,
once in danger of losing control
of the Senate, instead gained at
least one seat. House Republicans held control, but as many
as 16 incumbents lost, including
some of the party’s most uncompromising voices, like Rep. Joe
Walsh of Illinois and Allen B.
West of Florida, who refuses to
concede his seat despite his continuing deficit in the vote count.
The somber mood among Republicans could ease negotiations to
avert more than $500 billion in
automatic spending cuts and tax
increases.
“The worst time to work
together on a bipartisan basis
is right before an election,” said
Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas,
chairman of the House Republican Conference. “The best time
to work on a bipartisan basis is
right after an election.”
Rep. Chris Van Hollen of
Maryland, the top Democrat on
the House Budget Committee,
said the Romney proposal to cap
deductions would only work in
concert with allowing the top
two income tax rates to revert
to the level of Bill Clinton’s
presidency, 36 percent and 39.6
percent, up from the current 33
percent and 35 percent.
To come close to the level
of deficit reduction needed to
get the nation’s fiscal house in
order, the presidential deficit
reduction commission known
by the names of its chairmen,
Erskine B. Bowles and Alan K.
Simpson, assumed those top
rates would jump, Mr. Van Hollen said. But beyond those rate
increases, more revenues will
have to be raised.
“This is a promising idea for
tax reform,” Mr. Van Hollen
said, “if you start at the higher
Clinton-era rates for highincome earners.”
The idea gained currency
when Martin Feldstein, a prominent Republican economist and
former chairman of Ronald
Reagan’s Council of Economic
Advisers, embraced it during
the campaign to show that Mr.
Romney’s tax plan was not as
far-fetched as Democrats portrayed it. Maya MacGuineas,
president of the Committee for
a Responsible Federal Budget
and something of a ringleader
in the search for a bipartisan

deficit deal, has also embraced
the idea.
But with the presidential campaign over, it is taking on new
salience. The Democratic centrist group Third Way has made
it the centerpiece of a package
of tax changes that it says could
raise nearly $1.3 trillion over 10
years without raising rates.
The Third Way proposal
would limit tax deductions
to $35,000 but would exclude
charitable giving. Universities,
foundations and other philanthropies have been the biggest
impediment to passing Mr.
Obama’s more modest 28 percent limit, which did not exclude
the charitable tax deduction.

WASHINGTON — Federal health inspectors found
numerous potential sources
of contamination, including
leaky ceilings and insects,
at a drug-making facility
that has the same founders
as the specialty pharmacy
linked to a deadly meningitis outbreak.
The Food and Drug
Administration on Monday
released the results of a
monthlong inspection of
Ameridose, a Westborough,
Mass.-based company that
makes injectable drugs.
The agency’s report, posted
online, lists a host of problems at the plant, ranging
from manufacturing to sterility to quality control.
Inspectors said they
found insects within 10 feet
of a supposedly sterile area
where drugs were manufactured. In another case,
inspectors reported a bird
flying into a storage room.
Elsewhere, the report
cites leaks and cracks in
the ceiling and walls of a
clean room used to manufacture sterile drugs. The
same room contained “thick
residues that were orange,
brown, and green” on equipment used for sterilization.
FDA inspectors also said
the company did not investigate at least 53 incidents
of bacterial contamination
that arose during testing of
stock drug solution.
Ameridose agreed to shut
down for inspection in October after tainted steroids
from its sister company, the
New England Compounding
Center, were linked to a fungal meningitis outbreak that
has caused 32 deaths.
WASHINGTON — Women
have passed men on the
nation’s roads. More women
than men now have driver’s
licenses, a reversal of a longtime gender gap behind the
wheel that transportation
researchers say is likely to
have safety and economic
implications.
If current trends continue,
the gap will only widen. The
share of teens and young
adults of both sexes with
driver’s licenses is declining,
but the decline is greater for
young men, according to a
study by the University of
Michigan’s Transportation
Research Institute. The study
looked at gender trends in
driver’s licenses between
1995 and 2010.
“The changing gender
demographics will have
major implications on the
extent and nature of vehicle
demand, energy consumption
and road safety,” predicted
Michael Sivak, co-author of
the study. Women are more
likely than men to purchase
smaller, safer and more fuelefficient cars; to drive less;
and to have a lower fatality
rate per distance driven, he
said.
Over the 15 years the study
covered, the share of men
ages 25 to 29 years old with
driver’s licenses dropped 10.6
percent. The share of women
of the same age with driver’s
licenses declined by about
half that amount, 4.7 percent.
Male drivers outnumbered
women drivers from the
moment the first Ford Model
T rolled off the assembly line
in 1908, the year the automobile became popular, and
through most of the past century. In the 1950s, when only
about half adult women had
driver’s licenses, jokes about
women drivers were a staple
of comedians.
But the gap gradually
closed. By 1995, men with
driver’s licenses slightly
outnumbered women, 89.2
million to 87.4 million. By
2010, 105.7 million women had
licenses, compared with 104.3
million men.
Male drivers under age 44
are still slightly more numerous than women of the same
age, but that’s only because
young men outnumber young
women in the general population, the study said. There
now are 105 boys born each
year for every 100 girls in the
U.S. Women outnumber men
later in life because they live
longer — an average of 80
years for women, compared
with about 75 years for men.
One reason for the growing disinterest among young
men in driving may be the
erosion of the “car-fetish society,” travel behavior analyst
Nancy McGuckin said.
There also may be economic reasons for the shift,
Ms. McGuckin’s research
indicates. Employment of 16to 24-year-olds as a share of all
workers has declined. At the
same time, the rate of young
men ages 18 to 34 years old living at home has been going up
and is greater than the rate of
young women living at home.
It may be that unemployment and underemployment
have made auto insurance
unaffordable for young men,
said Alan Pisarski, author of
the Transportation Research
Board’s comprehensive
“Commuting in America”
reports on U.S. travel trends.
“Insurance for males under
25 is just colossally expensive,” he said.

Customer satisfaction just treading water
By Teresa F. Lindeman
Like the national economy,
customer satisfaction seems
stuck in a holding pattern.
And that may mean retailers
shouldn’t expect a pile of extra
gifts under the tree this year.
“In an economy that depends
heavily on consumer demand, it
is hard to envision rapid growth
given a flat trend in customer
satisfaction that is coupled with
only tentative improvement in
wages and employment,” said
Claes Fornell, founder of the
American Customer Satisfaction
Index and a professor of business
administration at the University
of Michigan, in his analysis of
the data. The index held steady
for the third consecutive quarter, scoring 75.9 out of a possible
100 points.
There’s no indication that the
unchanged satisfaction levels
will slow consumer demand, in
his opinion, but they won’t rev
up spending either.
The uncertain financial
environment has made customers particularly sensitive to
prices, he said, a fact that may
have helped food companies
with their individual rankings.
Different industry sectors are
examined during different quarters of the year.
While Pittsburgh-based H.J.
Heinz Co. held onto its position as
the food company with the highest satisfaction score — maintaining the 89 that it received
last year — several other food
manufacturers improved their
marks. Quaker’s score rose 2
percent to hit 86, while both Hershey and Nestle rose 1 percent to
a score of 85. ConAgra was up 1
percent to 84.

According to the 2010 National Survey
of Veterans — which polled 8,710 active
duty, demobilized and retired service
members — 28.5 percent of veterans ages
18 to 30 were looking for work.
The survey also found that 18.8 percent of black veterans and 14 percent of
Hispanic veterans who had served since
September 2001 could not find work at
the time the survey was conducted.
Hoping to fill gaps between skilled
veterans lacking opportunities and companies seeking skilled high-tech work-
ers, Coraopolis-based communications
company Victory Media is expanding
its operations to include an advanced
technical institute designed to use a
combination of skills testing and on-site
job training to match veterans with the
positions and employers that best suit
their talents.
“The goal for Victory Tech is simple:
we want to recruit, test, train and build
special relationships to help military
veterans and their families transition
into new jobs,” said Daniel Nichols, program president and director.
Mr. Nichols said the idea came by
combining his skills in training returning vets for the workforce with Victory
Media’s ongoing mission to educate veterans and connect them to private-sector
opportunities.
While working with the U.S. Department of Labor in 2003, Mr. Nichols
created a jobs training program for
wounded service members in California

U.S. stocks closed nearly
unchanged Monday, after a
day of uneven trading plagued
by investors’ fears about the
approaching “fiscal cliff.”
The Dow Jones industrial
average finished down 0.31
point at 12,815.08, according to
data available at 5:30 p.m. EST.
It had spent the day alternating
between small gains and losses,
never rising more than 46 points
or falling more than 32.
The closing level of the Dow
was revised several times after
trading closed. The New York
Stock Exchange had experienced a trading glitch during
the day, forcing it to alter its
normal procedure for determining the closing prices of some
stocks.
The Standard & Poor’s 500
index edged up 0.15 point to
1,380. The Nasdaq composite fell
0.61 to 2,904.26.
Trading was very light. The
federal government and the U.S.
bond market were closed for
Veterans Day, and no economic
reports were released.
The fiscal cliff refers to government spending cuts and tax
increases that are scheduled to
kick in at the beginning of the
new year, unless a divided Congress and the White House can
work out a compromise before
then.
Some traders thought the
tentative trading action was
nearly inevitable because there
has been no positive or negative
news about the economy or the
possibility of a deal to avoid the
fiscal cliff.
“Nothing good is going on,”
said Scott Freeze, president of
Street One Financial in Huntingdon Valley, Pa. “Everything forward-looking remains
dreary.”
Last week, after voters
returned a long-deadlocked and
divided government to Washington, the Dow dropped 434 points
in two days and had one of its
worst weeks of the year.
Even if lawmakers work out
a compromise, as they usually
do, the political fight until then
is sure keep investors on edge,
pitching the stock market back
and forth until it’s resolved.
Economists say the cliff could
cost the economy $800 billion
and 3 million jobs and would
plunge the U.S. back into recession.
President Barack Obama, a
Democrat, and House Speaker
John Boehner, a Republican,
have spoken of compromise but
appear to be taking firm stances
on some issues. Mr. Obama will
meet with labor representatives
as well as other progressive
groups today. He’ll hold separate meetings with the business
community Wednesday.
The effect on the markets
has been widespread. Fiscal
cliff worries were blamed for
keeping a lid on European markets and Asian markets, which
closed mostly lower.

Highmark,
WPAHS
hold talks
By Steve Twedt
Senior leaders from Highmark Inc. and the West Penn
AlleghenyHealthSystemheld
“a very productive session”
on Monday “that focused on
efforts the parties could take
to address the financial condition of WPAHS to secure
approval of their affiliation
agreement by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department,”
said Highmark spokesman
Michael Weinstein in a press
release.
Participants included
Highmark President and
CEO William Winkenwerder
Jr. and West Penn Allegheny
Board Chairman Jack Isherwood.
The statement said both
parties “realize there are significant issues that must be
addressed and that prompt
action is essential.”
Highmark and West Penn
Allegheny have been negotiating an affiliation for more
than a year, but the partnership was nearly derailed
after WPAHS officials
objected to what they called
pressure from Highmark
to file for bankruptcy to get
out from under the health
system’s near-$1 billion debt
obligations.
West Penn Allegheny
board members wanted to
talk to other possible capital
partners but Highmark successfully blocked that move
last week in a suit filed in the
Allegheny Court of Common
Pleas.
Monday’s statement noted
that Highmark and WPAHS
officials had recently met
with WPAHS bondholders,
presumably to discuss a
restructuring of West Penn
Allegheny’s bond debt, and
that “further meetings are
planned.”
The region’s largest
insurer and its second largest health system also said
they plan to focus on physician recruitment and retention at WPAHS, and on
“improving ongoing communications and coordinated
actions prior to any regulatory approval.”

Toyota tests cars that communicate with each other
By Yuri Kageyama
The Associated Press
SUSONO, Japan — Toyota
Motor Corp. is testing car safety
systems that allow vehicles to
communicate with each other
and with the roads they are on
in a just completed facility in
Japan the size of three baseball
stadiums.
The cars at the Intelligent
Transport System site receive
information from sensors and
transmitters installed on the
streets to minimize the risk of
accidents in situations such as
missing a red traffic light, cars
advancing from blind spots and
pedestrians crossing the street.
The system also tests cars that
transmit such information to
each other.
In a test drive for reporters
Monday, the presence of a pedestrian triggered a beeping sound
in the car and a picture of a person popped up on a screen in
front of the driver. A picture of an
arrow popped up to indicate an
approaching car at an intersection. An electronic female voice
said, “It’s a red light,” if the driver
was about to ignore a red light.
The 3.5 hectare test site is in
a corner of the Japanese automaker’s technology center near
Mount Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture, central Japan.
Toyota officials said the smartcar technology it is developing
will be tested on some Japanese
roads starting in 2014. Similar
tests are planned for the U.S.,
althoughdetailswerenotdecided.
Such technology is expected to be

gram will become the company’s
sixth global brand, adding to the
G.I. Jobs and G.I. Education websites, Vetrepreneur and Military Spouse magazines and The
National Veteran Owned Business Association.
Victory Media has 30 full-time
employees and 35 part-time contract employees.
Using a $750,000 initial investment for its newest program,
the company built the Victory
Tech Learning Studio in a
1,000-square-foot former storefront in Coraopolis.
While the bulk of the funds
went toward renovation and
equipment costs, Mr. Nichols
said the company cut some costs
through agreements that let vets
train on a potential employer’s
equipment. If all goes well, the
company anticipates it will train
at least 200 veterans for high-tech
positions over the next year.
Getting vets in contact with
equipment is one thing, but making sure they have what it takes
to work the machines is the top
priority, said Mr. Nichols.
Veterans hoping to be placed
through Victory Tech must take
a free validation screening test
to measure science, technology,
engineering and math skills.
Validation screenings will
help when it comes to job placement, but also will help individuals note skills they may not be
aware that they gained through
deployment. Mr. Nichols said a

Homestead — collectively
employ 134 full-time employees and 25 part-time employees. Employees hired in 2011
by the companies saw average salaries of $33,650.
“We felt that the program
could help build businesses
that are already committed to communities and that
would have a positive effect
on the neighborhood,” said
Ms. Kush.
And while there weren’t
many changes to the program’s format for the current
group of entrepreneurs, it
has definitely shown its own
signs of growth, according to
instructor Rhonda CarsonLeach. The Institute has
partnered with the African
American Chamber of Commerce of Western Pennsylvania and Urban Innovation 21
to recruit businesses for the
program and is seeking additional partners for upcoming
years.
After seeing early strides
made by previous graduates,
Mrs. Carson-Leach said she
is more energized than ever
to pass the winning formula
down to the next class of 16
entrepreneurs.
“We’re not doing anything
different, but we’re doing
things better, with more
energy, more vigilance and
more intensity,” she said.

score. The San Francisco company, which has a regional office
on the North Shore, was credited
by those surveyed with offering
a good value and introducing
new products. Del Monte’s pet
brands include 9Lives and Kibbles ‘n Bits.
Steady prices were also a factor in that category’s overall
strong showing, according to
Mr. Fornell’s analysis.
Meanwhile, evidence that rising prices don’t make consumers
happy came in the apparel category, where the overall industry ranking dropped. “Over the
past 12 months, apparel prices
have risen at a rate that is nearly
four times the amount that food
prices have increased,” said Mr.
Fornell. Raw material costs for
clothing have gone up, he said.
Data for the satisfaction index
are gathered by interviewing
about 70,000 customers annually.
In other efforts to track consumer sentiment, New Yorkbased Experian Marketing Services on Monday said its surveys
found confidence in the first half
of 2012 was stronger than at any
time since the start of the Great
Recession. The survey polls
25,000 adults annually.
Affluent customers are also
feeling better, according to
research by Stevens, Pa.-based
Unity Marketing. Based on a
survey of more than 1,200 consumers with an average income
of $290,000 in mid-October, more
than half felt they were financially better off than 12 months
ago.

former Marine Corps sniper who
struggled with math all through
high school took the test and
found to his surprise that it had
become his strongest skill.
“The test lets people know it’s
not about what’s on your resume
that you think works, it’s what
you can do now,” said Mr. Nichols.
Once results of the validation
test are approved, veterans will
have to pay up to $90 for professional exams that grant certification in some areas. Vets also can
enter a 15-month program that
matches them with an employer
for around $18,000.
Mr. Nichols said the program
is not yet eligible to receive G.I.
Bill funds, but the organization
is working to attract state funds
and is encouraging employers to
pick up costs for potential hires.
If the best job isn’t found
within the network of more than
80 partner corporations, including PA CareerLink, Schroeder
Industries and Consol Energy,
vets can use Victory’s Military
Friendly Employers search site
to see what’s available from
the top 100 military employers
nationwide.
Powered by technology created by North Shore-based
search company WebKite (formerly Pikimal), the site sorts
military-friendly employers by
location, the number of military members who make up
new hires, insurance coverage,
compensation policies and programs directed toward military
spouses.
Mr. Nichols pointed out that
communities at large can benefit from an influx of high-skilled
laborers, but he said the greatest
benefit will come from reminding veterans their work is as
valuable at home as it is abroad.
“The big thing to take away
from it is we believe you’re better off for having served, not that
you’re broken or damaged,” he
said. “You’ve gained skills and
you can take advantage of these
new skills and abilities.”

effective because half of car accidents happen at intersections,
according to Toyota.
All automakers are working
on pre-crash safety technology to
add value to their cars.
Toyota’s Japanese rival Nissan
Motor Co. recently showed cars
that were smart enough to stop
on their own, park themselves
and swerve away from pedestrians who suddenly jumped into
the vehicle’s path.
Toyota also showed a new feature that helps the driver brake
harder to prevent bumping into
the vehicle in front.
Toyota also has developed
sonar sensors that help drivers
avoid crashing in parking lots.
One system even knows when the
driver pushes on the gas pedal by
mistake instead of the brakes.

Shooting by city police officer
in Highland Park investigated
SHOOTING, FROM PAGE A-1
“We do know that our officers
are permitted to fire in selfdefense or in defense of others,
and the officer believed at the
time his life was in danger, so he
took this action,” he said.
But police and a national
training expert said officers are
not trained to reach into cars
because of the risk they could
be dragged and because it leaves
them vulnerable.
Ed Delmore, the chief of the
Gulf Shores, Ala., police department, is a consultant with LifeLine Training, a national company that has advised police
departments across the country.
He said reaching into a vehicle
during a traffic stop, as a general
matter, is “a bad idea,” although
he declined to comment specifically on Sunday’s case.
“Typically, it’s not something
that we would want officers to
do just because its dangerous for
them,” he said. “Officers are not
trained to reach into a vehicle in
an attempt to stop it like that.”
While he was working as a
security guard at a Target, Chief
Delmore said he once reached
into a car of suspected shoplifters who were fleeing in a car,
reaching for the gear shift much
as Officer Derbish did.
He successfully stopped them,
“but I was very lucky that I didn’t
get hurt [or] killed in doing it.”
“I learned never to do it again,”
he said. “I obviously could have
been seriously injured in the
process.”
Still, he emphasized that
while it’s generally not the best
course of action, there are circumstances that might warrant
reaching into a vehicle even
when the driver is threatening
to flee.
Beth Pittinger, executive
director of the Citizen Police
Review Board, said officer training and safety procedures will
likely be reviewed as more facts
are revealed.
“We don’t want to rush to
judgment here,” she said. “We
want to be patient as we determine the protocol and actions
that were taken and why the officer did what he did and why the
driver did what he did.”
Residents in Highland Park
lamented the violence that had
befallen their calm corner of the
neighborhood.
Alex White, 28, a Pittsburgh
Theological Seminary student,
said he thought he heard gunshots outside his apartment at
Anderson Hall on Stanton Avenue, the school’s housing complex that sits across the street
from the house where the car
crashed and bloodied clothing
lay on the sidewalk.
“I hit the ground, and before
I had any wits about me, sirens
were going,” Mr. White said.
Mr. White said he peeked out
his window and saw a man on
the ground next to the car. He

Bromide level
falls in Mon,

the decline corresponds to the
DEP’s request that treatment
plants stop accepting drilling
wastewater,” said Ms. VanBriesen, who discussed the study
results at the third annual CMU
“State of the Monongahela River
Research Forum,” last week.
The CMU study sampled river
water for chloride and bromide,
elements that are components
of total dissolved solids, or TDS,
at eight locations near public
drinking water intakes. She said
the study found bromide discharges continue to be an issue
from coal-fired power plants and
mines.
Bromide
concentrations
remain high near several commercial brine and wastewater
treatment plants on the Allegheny River, where the Pittsburgh
Water and Sewer Authority
draws water for its 400,000
customers. According to the
authority’s 2011 water quality
report, trihalomethane levels
were measured at 18 to 106 parts
per billion, but the systemwide
annual average was 66 parts
per billion, below the federally
allowed maximum of 80 parts
per billion.
The Ohio River Valley Water
Sanitation Commission designated bromide as a “compound
of concern” for water treatment
plants last year.
Other research found that
the higher TDS levels may have
reduced the number of smaller
minnow-sized fish in the river.
According to a fish survey by
California University of Pennsylvania researchers David
Argent and William Kimmel,
populations of larger fish in
the river have been stable since
2005, but three species of darters — rainbow darter, channel
darter and johnny darter —
have all declined significantly
in number.
“The small-bodied benthic
fishes have declined markedly,”
Mr. Argent said. “The reason
for the changes is unknown, but
during that time there has been
elevated total dissolved solids,
and that seems to be having
some effect.”
High TDS levels in the river
in 2008, 2009, and 2010 caused
concerns from industries that
couldn’t use the contaminated
water in their industrial processes and from water utility
customers who complained
about bad tasting and smelling
water that damaged their automatic dishwashers and left spots
on their glassware.
watched as police picked him up
and medics loaded him into an

His neighbors soon began
trickling out of their apartments
in hopes of learning more about
the police activity they consider
rare on their mostly quiet street,
but not unusual in their neighborhood.
“It’s bound to happen in the
city,” said Joel Montgomery, 26,
who went outside after hearing
the car crash. “It’s city life.”

Jury to be selected in death penalty case
By Paula Reed Ward
Prosecutors say Robinson
had been inside a home there
and shot and killed another
man, Danyal Morton, over
a drug debt. As he fled, he
came upon the police officer
and opened fire, investigators
allege.
The case was slated to go to
trial last month but was delayed
when prosecutors could not
locate a key witness from inside
the home the night of the shooting.
The U.S. marshals picked up
that witness on a material witness warrant a day later, and
Allegheny County Common
Pleas Judge Kevin G. Sasinoski
Jury selection will begin
today in the death penalty case
against a man accused of killing Penn Hills police Officer
Michael Crawshaw three years
ago.
Ronald Robinson, 35, is
charged with two counts of
criminal homicide, robbery,
burglary and illegal possession
of a firearm.
If the jury finds Robinson
guilty of first-degree murder in
the killing of Officer Crawshaw,
it will then have to decide if he
should be put to death or spend
Michael
Crawshaw
Ronald
Robinson
the rest of his life in prison with
no chance of parole.
Officer Crawshaw was shot
and killed inside his patrol car
Dec. 6, 2009, as he responded to
a 911 call on Johnston Road.
Port
Authority
seeks cause
of LRT
derailment
ordered that he be held in custody until he testifies at trial.
Jury selection is expected to
last about four days. The judge
will gather the pool of potential
jurors each morning and ask
a series of general questions
before moving the process to
his courtroom. Individual
questioning will be done in his
chambers.
Opening statements are
slated to begin Nov. 27.
Deputy District Attorney
Mark V. Tranquilli has about
40 witnesses for the guilt phase
of the trial, which is expected to
last about a week.
Robinson will be represented
by Veronica Brestensky for the
guilt phase and Patrick Thomassey if the case moves into a
penalty phase.
The district attorney’s office
is seeking the death penalty
based on a number of aggravating factors, including that Officer Crawshaw was a member
of law enforcement, that there
are multiple killings, that the
defendant has a significant history of felony convictions and
because, they say, the shootings
were committed in furtherance
of the drug trade.

THE BOYS OF INDIAN SUMMER
By Jon Schmitz
The derailment of a Light Rail
Transit vehicle in the Downtown subway Friday night was
caused by the vehicle passing a
red “stop” signal and crossing a
track switch that was not in the
proper position, Port Authority
said Monday.
Spokesman Jim Ritchie said
it had not been determined
whether the vehicle operator
was at fault. The agency was continuing to review recorded communications between the South
Hills Village Rail Center and the
vehicle, along with the onboard
data recorder.
“The vehicle went through
a signal and entered a switch
that hadn’t fully moved over to a
locked position,” he said. “Does
that mean it’s operator error?
The answer is not necessarily.”
Nine passengers were aboard
when the outbound vehicle
derailed between the Gateway
and Wood Street stations shortly
before 9 p.m. Friday. One person was taken to a hospital with
minor neck and back injuries
and two others with minor injuries declined treatment at the
scene.
The authority was doing maintenance at the time of the derailment and running inbound and
outbound service on a single
track. During such operations,
vehicles are directed by personnel at the rail center as to when
they are cleared to cross from
one track to the other.
Typically, they would wait
until the signal changed from
red. But there are situations
when a vehicle might be directed
to proceed through a red signal,
Mr. Ritchie said.
The incident forced the authority to terminate service at Steel
Plaza and use bus shuttles to take
passengers to Wood Street, Gateway, North Side and Allegheny
for the rest of the weekend. Full
operations were restored in time
for Monday morning’s start of
service, Mr. Ritchie said.
The unidentified operator is
on paid leave pending the outcome of an investigation.

Grants
to boost
renewal
projects
Small awards go
to neighborhoods
By Joe Smydo
Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and
the Design Center of Pittsburgh
today will award $275,000 in
grants for 12 “neighborhood
renaissance” projects, including
a proposal to make Colteryahn
Dairy in Carrick the center of a
destination “dairy district.”
Ranging from $10,000 to
$50,000, the inaugural grants
from the new Pittsburgh Neighborhood Renaissance Fund will
go to groups in the city’s northern, southern and western neighborhoods. The $50,000 grant will
be awarded to Economic Development South, an inter-municipal
development group, for a study of
the dairy tourism initiative.
The city Urban Redevelopment
Authority provided $300,000 for
the fund, and the Design Center,
a Downtown nonprofit, raised
another $300,000. Additional
rounds of grants are planned.
“This is all about creating
more growth in more Pittsburgh
neighborhoods,” mayoral spokeswoman Joanna Doven said. An
awards ceremony will be held at
1:30 p.m. at the West End offices
of Pittsburgh Musical Theater,
which will receive a $15,000
grant for facade improvements
and other building work.
The Design Center already
administers a Design Fund,
which provides grants to community organizations in Allegheny
County and technical assistance
to architects and other design
professionals.
The new fund was created to
push what Mr. Ravenstahl calls
the city’s Third Renaissance into
neighborhoods that haven’t yet
experienced the kinds of development that have benefited Downtown and East Liberty in recent
years. The grants target neighborhoods that need not only a
development boost but help with
planning.
Representatives of Colteryahn’s and Economic Development South could not be reached
Monday. Chris Koch, director
of programs for the Design Center, said dairy owners want to
explore the possibility of increasing tourism at the Brownsville
Road site and converting nearby
storefronts they own into an ice
cream shop, market and restaurant.
“They want to make the
investment. They just don’t know
where to get started,” Ms. Koch
said.
The second-biggest grant,
$35,000, will go to the Hilltop
Alliance — which serves neighborhoods overlooking South
Side, for a “multi-year neighborhood housing strategy plan” to
address blight and mortgage foreclosure. Grants of $25,000 will go
to Community Alliance of Spring
Garden-East Deutschtown for a
neighborhood gateway at Route
28 and the 16th Street Bridge; to
Point Breeze North Development
Corp. to study improvements to
Simonton Street; to South Pittsburgh Development Corp. for

Future uncertain for alternative No contract since 2011; results expected by Friday
State college faculty takes strike vote
high school in east suburbs
By Mary Niederberger
Inna Ulyanyuk spent ninth
grade at Plum Senior High
School but quickly grew tired of
cliques and the day-to-day drama
of a large public high school.
Then she heard from a friend
about the Boyce Campus Middle
College High School, an alternative school with a smaller enrollment and the opportunity to take
college classes while still in high
school, and she jumped at the
chance to attend.
Now a junior, Inna, 16, has
completed five college courses
while attending the middle col-
INSIDE
85++'1$
lege high school, located on the
Boyce Campus of Community
College of Allegheny County in
Monroeville.
“The main reason I came was
for the college classes and the
dual enrollment. But there are
also less students here and it’s
easier to find friends,” said Inna,
who plans to complete 14 college
classes by the time she graduates in 2014.
Founded in 1996 by a consortium of the Gateway, Penn Hills,
Plum and Woodland Hills school
districts, the alternative school
has taught about 180 students
a year in grades 10, 11 and 12
who for various reasons did not
succeed in the traditional high
schools of those districts, but
showed potential for academic
success. Last year’s graduation
rate was 97 percent.
However, the school’s future
now is uncertain following
Woodland Hills’ withdraw from
the consortium in June for budgetary reasons and the Plum
school board’s decision last week
not to endorse a plan created and
promoted by the superintendents
of the three remaining districts
to turn the school into a charter
school.

SEE BOYCE, PAGE B-5
By Bill Schackner
The union representing faculty at Pennsylvania’s 14 stateowned universities hopes by
Friday to announce results of
a strike authorization vote that
began on the campuses Monday
and runs through Wednesday.
A vote in the affirmative
by faculty would not mean an
immediate work stoppage but
instead would give negotiators
for Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties authority to call
a strike on short notice.
The 5,000 faculty members
represented by APSCUF have
been without a contract since
June 30, 2011, the longest such
labor dispute in the State System’s three-decade history.
Both sides last met Friday and
are not scheduled to bargain
again until Dec. 11.
The vote, being conducted by
paper ballot, is the latest intensification of what for more than
a year had been a relatively
muted dispute. Both sides insist
they want a settlement.
“Faculty members do not
want to strike,” APSCUF
spokeswoman Lauren Gutshall
said Monday. “They see strike
as truly a last resort.”

A similar tone was struck by
the State System following Friday’s bargaining session.
The system “is committed to
achieving a new collective bargaining agreement with APSCUF that is fair to everyone,
especially to our students and
their families who currently
provide nearly two-thirds of
the revenue needed to operate
the universities,” officials said
in a statement.

Husband charged
in 1993 drowning
A Industry man has been
charged with homicide in the
drowning death of his wife after
a witness came forward nearly
20 years later.
Beaver County Coroner
Teri Tatalovich-Rossi said the
manner of death for 34-year-old
Debbie Lang was undetermined
when she drowned in 1993.
“Most recently, we have a
person who was there who
produced a statement that
prompted us to look into the
case more,” she said.
The witness, Jamie Darlington, emerged this year and told
authorities he saw 54-year-old
Jon Lang hold the woman under
water with a long-handled pool
skimmer.
Mr. Darlington was an overnight guest and 16 years old at
the time.
Ms. Tatalovich-Rossi said her
office used a coroner’s inquest
that will prompt a jury to decide
whether the act was criminal
or should have been ruled as
accidental.
She referred questions about
the case to Beaver County District Attorney Anthony Berosh,
whose office was closed for the
Veterans Day holiday.

Two die on Interstate 70
in wrong-way collision
A head-on collision with
a tractor-trailer killed two
women Monday morning and
temporarily closed Interstate 70
in West Virginia.
Ohio County Deputy Sheriff
Andy Weisal said the vehicle
entered I-70 westbound at the
Dallas Pike exit ramp and was
traveling in the wrong direction sometime after 3 a.m. when
it crashed into a tractor-trailer
between the exit ramp and the
Pennsylvania state line.
The highway was closed
until about 7 a.m. following the
accident.
The interstate reopened
but was down to a single lane
westbound for several hours
while a hazardous materials
crew cleaned the more than 100
gallons of diesel fuel that leaked
from one of the truck’s fuel
tanks, Deputy Weisal said.
The cause of the accident is
still unclear, Deputy Weisal
said, but police did not smell
alcohol on the two woman in
the vehicle, one elderly and the
other middle-aged. Authorities
were attempting to notify their
family Monday.
The driver of the truck
was taken to a local hospital
for observation with non-life
threatening injuries, Deputy
Weisal said.
The Ohio County sheriff’s
office is investigating.

near the Great Allegheny Passage in Larimer Township
about 12:30 p.m. The person
called state police, whose
investigators said the remains
“appear to be human.”
Forensic anthropologist Dennis Dirkmaat and his crew from
Mercyhurst University in Erie
went to the scene Monday to
investigate.
State police said they would
release more information at a

Two groups to appeal
approval of forest drilling
Two environmental groups
have filed notice they will
appeal a September federal
court ruling that said the U.S.
Forest Service doesn’t have
the authority to delay oil and
gas drilling in the Allegheny
National Forest until an environmental impact study is
done.
The Allegheny Defense
Project and Sierra Club notice
of appeal was filed with the
3rd U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals last week in the 2009
case Minard Run Oil Co. et al
v. U.S. Forest Service et al. It
will claim that U.S. District
Judge Sean McLaughlin’s
ruling that the Forest Service
has only limited power to
regulate drilling operations
didn’t consider the forest
management protections contained in the 1911 Weeks Act,
the legislation that created
the state’s only national forest, said Ryan Talbott, executive director of the ADP.
“By restricting the Forest
Service’s authority to regulate to protect the Allegheny
National Forest from the
impacts of oil and gas development,” Mr. Talbott said,
“the court is ignoring the
very purpose for which the
Allegheny was created in the
first place — to conserve and
protect the watersheds in the
upper Allegheny River watershed.”
The Forest Service owns
the surface rights of the
513,000-acre forest, but the
mineral rights under 93
percent of that acreage are
in private hands and courts
have ruled that the owners
have the right to access those
holdings.
Deer hit by vehicle kills
woman in second vehicle
Pennsylvania State Police
said a deer struck by a vehicle
crashed through the windshield of another vehicle
headed in the opposite direction, killing a Butler woman
riding in the second car.
Troopers from the Butler
barracks identified the dead
woman as Carol Mitch.
State police said the crash
happened about 6:20 p.m.
Sunday when a car traveling
south on Route 8 in Brady
hit the deer. The driver and
passenger in that car weren’t
hurt.
But the deer was knocked
into the path of a northbound
car driven by Raymond Mitch
of Butler, state police said.
His front-seat passenger was
killed, and a female riding in
the back suffered minor injuries, state police said.
Bridge named to honor
Medal of Honor winner
An Ellwood City bridge has
been renamed for a soldier
who was awarded the Medal
of Honor earlier this year
for his actions in defending
against an ambush by North
Vietnamese troops on May
10, 1970.
The former Ewing Park
Bridge was renamed on
Veterans Day at a ceremony
attended by Rose Mary SaboBrown, the widow of the
soldier being honored, Spc.
Leslie H. Sabo Jr.
The 22-year-old Army rifleman was killed charging an
enemy bunker, killing several
enemy soldiers.
Sabo was wounded but
managed to throw an enemy
grenade away from another
wounded comrade, then continued toward the bunker, and
threw a grenade into it. He
was killed in the blast, which
also silenced enemy fire.

early Sunday morning.
Sgt. William Gorman in
the bureau’s Zone 2 station
said Dave Whaley, a local
musician, was crossing at
20th and Sarah streets when
a Ford Mustang went through
a traffic control signal and
almost hit him.
After Mr. Whaley shouted
for the vehicle to slow down,
Sgt. Gorman said, the car
stopped and a male about 6
feet tall, and more than 200
pounds, got out of the vehicle
and hit Mr. Whaley, knocking
him out.
“Sounds like one punch
and he fell face first to the
ground,” Sgt. Gorman said.
Though the incident
occurred at 1:30 a.m., the
report was filed at 6:30 p.m.
from UPMC Mercy, where
Mr. Whaley remains awaiting
surgery today, his friend, Joe
Moore, said.
When Mr. Whaley woke up
on 20th and Sarah streets, his
friend said, he stumbled back
to Carson Street.
Mr. Whaley has a fractured
orbital bone and doctors are
concerned about his vision,
Mr. Moore said.
Sgt. Gorman said another
man was assaulted only a
half-mile away the same
night.
A Duquesne University student reported that “somebody
coldcocked him,” Sgt. Gorman said, and stole his phone
and wallet in the 1300 block of
Carson Street about 12:30 a.m.
Bomb threat found
in Duquesne U. hall
Duquesne University police
searched Fisher Hall Monday
night after someone discovered a bomb threat scrawled
on a bathroom wall.
University spokeswoman
Bridget Fare said the threat
was discovered in a sixthfloor women’s rest room about
8 p.m. School police evacuated
the building as a precaution
and began searching.
They had not found anything as of 9:45 p.m., when the
building remained closed.
Ms. Fare said several
classes were being held
tonight in the building, which
is home to the School of Nursing, some labs and modern
languages courses, among
others.

Part-time temporary faculty
members would see their salary freeze at current levels.
The State System also
wants to phase out incentive
payments offered since 1999 to
faculty for distance education
course development. Management says the incentives
that were created when there
were almost no such courses
no longer are needed, given
how widespread those courses
are today at the 14 universities, which include California,
Clarion, Edinboro, Indiana
and Slippery Rock universities
in Western Pennsylvania.
The State System also is
seeking savings in health care
costs and has reopened a voluntary retirement incentive
program that other unions
across the State System participated in two years ago but
APSCUF did not.
Last month, nearly 100 faculty members from across the
115,000-student system held a
protest at the State System’s
board of governors meeting in
Harrisburg and urged system
leaders to accept the union’s
offer of binding arbitration.
The State System rejected the
proposal.

Plans
advance
for new
grocery in
Bloomfield
P
G
M
K
A proposed Bottom Dollar on
Penn Avenue in Bloomfield got
the special exceptions and variances it needs to move forward in
providing the corridor between
Bloomfield and Garfield with its
first grocery store in many years.
The project passed the Zoning
Board of Adjustment’s legal tests
for two special exceptions and
seven variances at 5200 Penn
Ave. The board decided that
it would have no detrimental
visual, transportation or operational impacts on the residential
portion of the district, which is
zoned local neighborhood commercial.
“We are heartened by the
decision and believe that in the
long run this development will
prove to be a major asset for the
commercial district,” said Rick
Swartz, executive director of the
Bloomfield-Garfield Corp.
The plan has been embraced
by many in the adjacent neighborhoods, including Friendship,
but some who live near the site
testified at hearings against
what they called ugly design
that did not provide for adequate
screening. They cited the potential noise and emissions from
fans and potential traffic congestion on Coral Street.
Leslie A. Peters, an attorney
representing the developer,
Commercial Properties Inc.,
said work on the site will begin
if there is no appeal by the end
of the appeal period on Dec. 2,
weather permitting.
The attorney for the opponents
could not be reached.
The board determined that the
property’s configuration and size
— less than one acre — make it
too hard to develop without variances to setback requirements,
parking requirements and location of the store’s operational systems, such as walk-in coolers and
bathrooms.
To locate a grocery store in
a neighborhood commercial
district, a developer needs the
board to grant a special exception. Special exceptions are also
needed for parking below what is
required by the scale of the project. In this case, parking will be
allowed in front of the store.
The developer held several
meetings with nearby residents
and agreed to plant a screen of
evergreens, revise the total building footprint, redesign fencing
and remove the store sign from
the Coral Street facade.
The board noted that Brantley
Tillman, the president of Commercial Properties Inc., the developer of the store, has received the
support of the mayor and county
executive’s offices and numerous
institutions.
“If we can work with the
neighbors to ensure the site
plan is adhered to, and perhaps
enhanced, I think everyone will
feel as though some of what they
wanted to see was realized,” Mr.
Swartz said. “Our goal is to help
the developer make this store an
important shopping place that’s
compatible with the surrounding district.”

NEWS OBITUARIES
ELLIOTT CARTER | Dec. 11, 1908 - Nov. 5, 2012
BURTON ‘BURT’ A. PERRETT
June 7, 1927 - Nov. 9, 2012
Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer
By Anne Midgette
The Washington Post
Elliott Carter, the Pulitzer
Prize-winning American composer who fused European and
American modernist traditions in seminal but formidable
works, and who lived to hear
ovations for music that was
once thought to be anything but
listener-friendly, died Nov. 5 at
his home in New York City. He
was 103.
His assistant, Virgil Blackwell, confirmed the death but
did not disclose an immediate
cause.
Mr. Carter’s career was like
some of the towering cathedrals of Europe: so long in the
making that it reflected the
dramatic shifts in artistic style
that take place over a century.
A late bloomer — he didn’t find
his mature voice, or the style for
which he was best known, until
age 40 — Mr. Carter eventually
received acclaim by some critics and composers. Igor Stravinsky was credited with calling
Mr. Carter’s “Double Concerto
for Harpsichord, Piano and Two
Chamber Orchestras” (1961) the
first American masterpiece.
Much of Mr. Carter’s music
was difficult to play, difficult
to listen to and, judging by the
slow pace of his output, difficult
to write. Yet it also embodied a
certain simplicity. As he aged,
Mr. Carter emphasized the connections between his music and
the world around it. He said he
sought to represent the pace of
the 20th century: the acceleration and deceleration of an airplane rather than the regular
beats, and horses’ hooves, of
18th- and 19th-century music.
Mr. Carter experimented
most notably with meter, or
rhythm, and challenged audiences to follow multiple instruments that played simultaneously to different beats.
“A piano accelerates to a flickering tremolo as a harpsichord
slows to silence,” wrote composer and musicologist David
Schiff, describing Mr. Carter’s
music. “Second violin and viola,
half of a quartet, sound cold,
mechanical pulses, while first
violin and cello, the remaining
duo, play with intense expressive passion. Two, three or four
orchestras superimpose clashing, unrelated sounds. A bass
lyrically declaims classical
Greek against a mezzo-soprano’s American patter.”
Mr. Carter said his music
presented society as he hoped it
would be: “A lot of individuals
dealing with each other, sensitive to each other, cooperating
and yet not losing their own
individuality.”
Mr. Carter continued composing until shortly before his
death, his works ranging from
ballets to vocal, instrumental,
chamber and orchestral pieces.
At age 90, he premiered his first
opera, appropriately called
“What Next?” The program for
his 100th birthday celebration
at New York’s Carnegie Hall
included a new work, “Inter-
ventions,” conducted by James
Levine with Daniel Barenboim
as soloist. It was an impressive showing for a composer
described earlier in his career
as “a musical loner.”
Elliott Cook Carter Jr. was
born Dec. 11, 1908, to a prosperous family in New York City.
He was able to identify all the
music in his parents’ collection
before he learned to read.
Mr. Carter attended private school in New York but
spent much of his childhood in
Europe; his father, a pacifist lace
importer, first took him there
to show him the destruction
wrought by World War I. The
family’s travels helped expose
Mr. Carter to the music of revolutionary composers such as
Stravinsky, Alexander Scriabin
and Arnold Schoenberg — three
men who helped determine that
Mr. Carter would not grow up to
be a lace importer, as his family had hoped. Mr. Carter often
said that Stravinsky’s “Rite
of Spring,” which he heard as
a teenager at Carnegie Hall,
inspired him to become a composer.
As an undergraduate at Harvard University, Mr. Carter
studied literature. It remained
an important part of Mr. Carter’s life: In the 1970s, he wrote
a cycle of vocal music based on
the writings of poets including
Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Bishop
and Hart Crane.
In the 1930s, after earning
a master’s degree in music at
Harvard, Mr. Carter took a step
that was virtually de rigueur
for a generation of American
composers: He went to Paris to
study with Nadia Boulanger.
“She wasn’t encouraging
if you wrote very dissonant
music,” Mr. Carter told the
Guardian in 2006. “But, meanwhile, the world of music had
changed. It wasn’t hard to think
when we saw pictures of Hitler
that it was expression that had
gone on and produced such a terrible result in Germany, that it
was a working out of that kind of
extravagance that had become
terrifying. So we thought that it
was time to be more orderly and
more consciously beautiful, and
neoclassicism did seem to have
a perfect logic about it.”
Returning to the United
States in the late 1930s, Mr.
Carter initially worked in the
traditional mold of other Boulanger students, creating neoclassical, approachable, “American” works such as the ballet
“Pocahontas,” which had its
premiere in 1939.
In the mid-1940s, after
his “Holiday Overture” was
rejected by the Boston Symphony, Mr. Carter moved away
from so-called approachability,
writing the “Piano Sonata” in
1945-46, the “Cello Sonata” in
1948 and then in 1950-51, the
“String Quartet No. 1,” which
was considered his first real
breakthrough. The sprawling
40-minute work probed the idea
of multiple perspectives in a
single composition and put Mr.
Carter on the map.
SUSAN JEFFERS | March 3, 1938 - Oct. 27, 2012
Psychologist and author of self-help books
By Dennis Hevesi
New York Times
Susan Jeffers, a psychologist who wrote 18 self-help
books, the first of which, “Feel
the Fear and Do It Anyway,”
became an international phenomenon, died Oct. 27 at her
home in Santa Monica, Calif.
She was 74.
The cause was cancer, her
husband, Mark Shelmerdine,
said.
Ms. Jeffers’ thesis in most
of her books was simple: If
we wait to stop feeling scared
before trying to do what frightens us, we could wait forever;
pressing ahead is the only way
to erase fear.
“Whatever happens to me,
given any situation, I can
handle it,” is one of her aphorisms in “Feel the Fear and Do
It Anyway,” published in 1987.
Another is: “There’s no such
thing as a bad decision. Each
path is strewn with opportunities, despite the outcome.”
Translated into more than
three dozen languages, the
book has sold millions of copies worldwide.
In “Embracing Uncertainty” (2003), Ms. Jeffers
wrote, “When we finally are
able to let go of the need for
control, for the first time we
are truly in control.”
Her other titles include “The
Little Book of Peace of Mind”
(2001) and “The Little Book of
Confidence” (1999)
In “I Can Handle It” (2002),
written with Donna Gradstein,
Ms. Jeffers offered stories of
children dealing with difficulties like fear of the dark, the
loss of a favorite toy and their
parents’ divorce.
In “I’m Okay, You’re a
Brat!” (1999), she challenged
the thinking in many books
that she felt promoted overinvolvement in children’s lives.
A reviewer in The Philadelphia Inquirer praised Ms.
Jeffers for assuring parents,
“You’re OK, even though you
go to work [not necessarily because you have to but
because you like to] and send
your children to day care.”
It was an early bout with
breast cancer and a difficult
first marriage that led Ms.
Jeffers to become a writer.
“These were actually enriching experiences,” she wrote in
“Feel the Fear.”
Susan Jane Gildenberg was
born in Manhattan on March
3, 1938, one of two daughters of
Jeanne and Leon Gildenberg.
She was married by the time
she was 18 and soon had two
children.
Believing that she was
meant to do more than raise a
family, she enrolled at Hunter
College, from which she graduated in 1964. She went on to
earn a master’s degree and a
doctorate in psychology from
Columbia.
After her divorce in 1972
she changed her last name to
Jeffers, said Mr. Shelmerdine,
whom she would marry 13

Veteran committed
to law enforcement
By Len Barcousky
Harmar Patrolman Burton
A. “Burt” Perrett recognized the
man who shot him in 1964.
Mr. Perrett, who grew up in
the township along the Allegheny
River, knew pretty much everybody in the community, according to his wife, Evie. “Burt had
arrested him a couple of times,”
she said of the gunman.
Mr. Perrett had been a Marine
in Korea and he knew what to do
when he came under fire, Mrs.
Perrett said. “He hit the ground
and started rolling away,” she
said. One bullet passed through
his hat, another hit his boot,
another hit his belt buckle, while
a thick pocket notebook stopped
another. One shot, however, hit
him in the leg.
Although wounded, Mr. Perrett apprehended his assailant.
“He wouldn’t go to the hospital
until he caught this guy,” his
wife said. “They fixed up his leg
and by the end of the week he
was back at work.”
Mr. Perrett, who went on to
serve as Harmar police chief,
died Friday at his home in the
township. He was 85.
“Being a policeman was his
life,” his son, Reilly, said. “He
loved his job and he loved going
to work.”
“I remember riding around
with him in his police car,”
Reilly Perrett said. “He wanted
me to be a policeman, and I had
no problem with that.” Like his
father, Reilly Perrett started
as a patrolman and eventually
became Harmar police chief.
“My mom would say that she
was married to one police chief
and gave birth to another,” her
son said.
Born in Pittsburgh, Mr. Perrett was the son of the late Burton and Mary Williams Perrett.

He grew up in Harmar and graduated from the former Aspinwall
High School. He was wounded
while serving with the Marines
in Korea and received the Purple
Heart. He worked for Duquesne
Light, as a Harmar constable
and as a part-time police officer
before being hired full-time in
the township.
His interests outside of work
included hunting and fishing,
which took him and his son on
trips to Colorado, New Mexico,
Wyoming and Montana.
During a 40-year career in law
enforcement, Mr. Perrett became
a community fixture. He had an
informal outdoor office in a Harmar shopping plaza near Route
910.
“He’d sit there on a bench with
a cigar in his mouth, and everybody would come up and talk
with him,” his son recalled.
His gunshot wound was his
only major injury during his long
career. “He had busted knuckles
and got a few black eyes over the
years,” Mrs. Perrett said.
Mr. Perrett on occasion used
nontraditional policing methods.
Facing a tavern full of rowdy
motorcyclists, he called on the
township fire chief to bring a
pumper truck to the scene. “He
hosed them down,” his wife said.
Working in a small community also meant that everyone
knew his home and family. “He
taught me to shoot and always to
park my car in the garage,” Mrs.
Perrett said.
In addition to his son, who
lives in Harmar, he is survived
by his wife of 55 years, the former
Evie Honkus, and two grandchildren. Services and burial were
private. Arrangements are by the
Charles B. Jarvie Funeral Home,
801 Pittsburgh St., Springdale.

Three-time rapist matched to another crime
Old evidence leads to new charges
By Liz Navratil
A Penn Hills man convicted
of awakening three girls and
raping them is now awaiting
arraignment on charges that
he raped a fourth woman after
police say his DNA matched
evidence taken from a victim
in 1989.
Michael Lipinski, 43, is currently serving a 90- to 180-year
sentence at the State Correctional Institution Smithfield in
Huntingdon for three separate
rapes that occurred in 1998,
2002 and 2005. Lipinski has
filed an appeal in the Superior
Court of Pennsylvania.
Those cases, like the 1989
rape with which Lipinski was
charged last week, hinged on
the results of DNA testing. Lipinski was required to submit
a DNA profile to an FBI database called Combined DNA
Index System, or CODIS, after
he was convicted of sex assault
in connection with a case in
2006 and assault in a 2008 case.
After he did that, investigators
matched him to the rapes of
the three girls.

Pittsburgh sex assault detectives contacted the Allegheny
County medical examiner’s
office in June to ask if they
still had the evidence from a
rape kit collected at MageeWomens Hospital in March of
1989, when the CODIS system
did not yet exist. A worker
offered to process the DNA and
learned in October that the
evidence matched Lipinski,
according to a criminal complaint.
Investigators contacted the
victim, identified only as Jane
Doe, again this month. She told
them that she remembered falling asleep in her apartment on
Roup Street in March of 1989
and awakening to find “a dark
figure standing within five feet
of her in her bedroom.”
The man threatened to
kill her and then taped her
eyes and hands, police said.
He ripped her clothes, held a
lighter between her legs and
then raped her, according to
the complaint.
Police said the man ransacked her drawers, stole some
earrings and told her to wait
an hour before calling because
private collections. He was a
member of the Pennsylvania
Watercolor Society, Pittsburgh
Watercolor Society, Whiskey
Painters of America, and the
North Hills Art Center. His
favorite place to paint was in the
New England area and traveled
there regularly to participate in
painting workshops over the
years. Don enjoyed his sports
cars, travel, cruises, golf,
dancing, ice skating, and Steeler
games. He had a kind spirit and
cherished every minute with his
family and friends. He was a true
gentleman and will be sadly
missed. Don succumbed to Lewy
Body Dementia - a combination
of dementia and Parkinson's
disease. Friends will be received
from 2-8 p.m. Wed. and 9-11
Thurs. at the BOCK FUNERAL
H O M E , L T D . , 1500 Mt. Royal

“he would be watching her and
would come back and kill her
if she did not obey his orders.”
The woman told officers she
waited about five minutes and
then ran to a neighbor’s door
and began pounding.
Michelle Collins, the assistant public defender who represented Lipinski in the previous three rape cases said during the trial that he rejected a
plea deal because “he couldn’t
plead guilty to something he
didn’t do.”
Pittsburgh police have previously said that Lipinski told
them he had a troubled childhood, having been removed
from his home at the age of 5
and then sexually assaulted
by the female companion of
a Homewood preacher whom
he later lived with. He said he
was in and out of psychiatric
hospitals for anger issues and
used cocaine for many years,
sometimes committing burglaries to support his habits,
police said.

assistance, relatives fed and
housed them. As a child he
carried coal, delivered
newspapers and worked the
farms on Mount Troy. He was 13
before having a hand-me-down
bike given to him by a cousin.
Don graduated from Allegheny

internationally as well. His work
can still be seen today as he
designed the Hillman Hall of

Philadelphia, and the Heart
Museum in Maryland. Also, his
drawings and models were used
to accumulate funding for the
Dinosaur Hall at the Carnegie
Museum. He was highly
respected and was considered in
the top of his field. While Don
enjoyed the design profession,
his passion was painting. He
became one of Pittsburgh's finest
award winning watercolorists,
winning awards both locally and
nationally. His paintings have

Pittsburgh's young professionals'
scene whose favorite saying was
“life is short - live it”, died early
Sunday, November 11, 2012,
from injuries he sustained in an
accidental fall. He was 25.
Andrew, of Upper St. Clair and
Dormont, will be remembered by
family, friends, and colleagues as
a man with a zest for life and an
ebullient personality who worked
hard and who was passionate
about Pittsburgh and all that it
has to offer, from its trendy
restaurants and clubs to its
historic sports teams. Among
Pittsburgh's crowd of
twenty-something movers and
shakers, Andrew was known for
his quirky glasses, trim goatee,
offbeat sense of style and
positive attitude. He drew people
to him with his energy and sense
of fun; he was ideally suited to a
career in sales and marketing
which he pursued with intensity.
"I love my friends and family, and
I try everyday to make someone
else's day", he once said in a
moment of self-reflection.
Andrew was a Sales Executive

previously held sales positions
with the Home Depot Corporate
and Davison Design and
Development as Director of New
Products. He began his
professional career following an
internship at Micronic North
America, LLC. After graduating
from Upper St. Clair High School
in 2005, Andrew went on to earn
degrees in psychology and
business from Washington &
Jefferson College where in
addition to his studies, he
worked as a technician on the IT
HELP Desk and earned a
reputation as a campus leader.
He was a member of Phi Delta
Theta fraternity and served as a
member of the recruiting
committee and representative to
the Interfraternity Council. In
addition, he was a member of the

who prefer to be observers.

Future uncertain for alternative high school at CCAC Boyce Campus
BOYCE, FROM PAGE B-1
future holds for this exact type
program,” said Robert Reger, acting superintendent of Gateway.
The superintendents had
hoped to submit a charter application to the Gateway school
board by Thursday, the state’s
deadline to open a school in the
2013-2014 school year. Gateway
would file the charter application because the middle college
high school is located in Monroeville, one of two communities
that make up the school district.
Under state law, local school
boards vote on applications for
charter schools within their
boundaries.
While the charter application
would not need the support of all
three districts, Penn Hills Superintendent Thomas Washington
and Mr. Reger said the plan had
been to have all three behind the
effort before a charter application was made.
“It was designed to be a partnership. One partner pulled out,
so you have to rethink it,” Mr.
Washington said.
Plum Superintendent Timothy Glasspool said he believes
his board rejected the idea
because “it was too new and too
much too fast.” He and the other

superintendents said school
directors generally see charter
schools as competition to their
districts, which must pay tuition
for students who choose to attend
charter schools.
Mr. Washington said the
superintendents saw converting
the school to a charter as a way
to open it up to other districts
and to provide an independent
funding source to secure its
future. He acknowledged that it
is unusual to for public school
superintendents to support a
charter school, but said “challenging times caused for us to
think differently.”
In the past, each of the four
founding districts provided an
annual payment and three teachers to the school. In recent years,
the annual payment was about
$45,000 for each district because
the school had accrued a healthy
fund balance and used large that
money to balance the budget.
But that fund balance is
essentially gone after this school
year, which means the remaining three districts will see their
costs increase, said director
Robert Patterson, a retired Penn
Hills elementary teacher and
administrator.
In addition, when Woodland
Hills dropped out, the school lost

ninth grade to the school, but
limiting enrollment to 180 students. One of the biggest draws
to the school is the opportunity
for students to enroll in college
courses at no cost and earn college credits before graduating
from high school.
For students like Brandon
Diorio, 16, of Gateway, the alternative school is a more peaceful
place than his home high school.
“There aren’t as many bullies
and mean kids here,” Brandon
said. Several other students said
the school got them out of drama
and chaos in their home districts
and allowed them to focus on
their work.
“I was having a lot of problems
with students being disrespectful to teachers. I was also picked

halfway through his sophomore
year “because there are less people and I won’t get distracted as
much.”

Petraeus’s exit
His affair hurts family members and U.S. policy
T
learned before in cases that involved
senior officials, including former President Bill Clinton, a messy private life
that becomes public can cripple one’s
effectiveness.
If Mr. Petraeus had been more
adroit— such as not leaving signs of
the affair in his email — he might have
been able to get away with it, even if
he shouldn’t have.
It has to be said that given his distinguished performance in Iraq and
Afghanistan and the major role he
has played over the years in developing U.S. military doctrine, particularly in the realm of counterterrorism,
his exit from U.S. policymaking is a
loss to the country. But it was necessary.
Mr. Petraeus’s resignation is illtimed as the president prepares for
other vacancies in his national security team, at secretary of state, secretary
of the treasury, possibly national security adviser and probably secretary of
defense. Although Mr. Petraeus’s exit
gives Mr. Obama a free hand to move
fresh talent in that area to meet the
nation’s needs, the CIA position is a
key one for the country and should be
filled with care.
he saddest victims of the extramarital affair of retired
U.S. Army Gen. David E. Petraeus, who resigned Friday
as director of the CIA, are the families
concerned.
His partner in the relationship was
his biographer and reserve Army officer Paula Broadwell, who has a husband and two children. Mr. Petraeus
and his wife of 38 years, Holly Knowlton Petraeus, have two adult children.
Others may be damaged by the episode,
including Jill Kelley, who accused Ms.
Broadwell of harassing her by email,
the incident that led to the FBI investigation that unmasked Mr. Petraeus’s
affair. These people were all collateral
damage in the inevitable Washington
personnel drone strike that brought
down the CIA director.
He had to go. His mistake in carrying on the relationship with Ms.
Broadwell could not but call into question his overall judgment, including
the intelligence advice and analysis
he was providing President Barack
Obama. That is not to say that people,
including those in senior government
service, do not have a right to personal lives. But, as the United States has
Tax-exempt land
County council’s look should be broad-gauged
As more land in Pittsburgh and
Allegheny County is gobbled up by
nonprofit corporations, it’s worth reexamining the financial impact of so
much tax-exempt property, as Allegheny County Council plans to do at a
public hearing Dec. 5.
UPMC, the region’s largest health
care network, is the county’s single
largest property owner with
$1.6 billion in holdings and
86 percent of it tax-exempt,
according to a Post-Gazette
investigative series. Other
large “charitable” enterprises, including Highmark
insurance, the West Penn Allegheny Health System and
the University of Pittsburgh,
also have handsome real estate portfolios.
Under a state tax system in which
school districts, counties and municipalities get a major source of their
revenue from property tax collections,
it is necessary that every land owner
and service user bear its share of the
load. Unfortunately, a weak state law
favors the interests of non-profits, including a large one like UPMC with a
$10 billion global operation.
That’s why council is right to scrutinize how to treat — and, ideally, how to
tax — the property of nonprofits.
But the county hearing comes when
the Service Employees International Union is trying
to represent various UPMC
workers. Councilman John
DeFazio, a district director
and executive board member
of the United Steel Workers,
will chair the meeting.
Given the backdrop of labor politics, the event should
not be a club aimed at UPMC,
but a lens through which a
broad system of tax exemption and its
public impact gets close examination.
Council members can do the county
and state a great service, or they can
politicize the issue for narrow gain.
Sealed for a reason
America’s elite fighters must resist the profit motive
Last year when members of Navy
SEAL Team 6 burst into Osama bin
Laden’s compound last year, it was
the culmination of months of secrecy
and years of planning. No one saw it
coming, including the most elusive terrorist mastermind in the world. The
SEALs killed bin Laden and spirited
his body out of Pakistan.
It was a daring military operation
that made instant folk heroes out of
the highly disciplined, but secretive
American warriors. Although SEAL
Team 6 has dozens of members, none
of those who were on the raid stepped
forward to be identified in media reports. The whole team took credit for
killing bin Laden because the mission
was bigger than any one person.
Even President Barack Obama
wasn’t told the identity of the member
who actually pulled the trigger that
took bin Laden’s life because of the
team’s strict adherence to its code of
anonymity and silence, to which all
members become signatories.
Since the raid on bin Laden’s compound, some members of the elite
fighting unit have acted uncharacteristically. Earlier this year, a member of
the team that participated in the raid
wrote a firsthand account of that fateful night, which formed the core of the
book “No Easy Day,” without clearing
it with the Pentagon. The author was
accused of disclosing classified information and violating his nondisclosure agreement.
Last week, military officials said
that seven members of SEAL Team 6,
including one involved in the bin Laden raid, were punished for disclosing
classified information to the maker
of the “Medal of Honor: Warfighter”
video game. Four other SEALs are under investigation for similar violations
of non-disclosure. The Pentagon also
accuses them of sharing information
about weapon modifications unique to
their unit to the toy maker to make the
video game more realistic.
The punishment consists of letters
of reprimand that will prevent the
men from advancing in rank. They
have also been docked half a month’s
pay. This will send a signal to all members of the team, both retired and active, that spilling military secrets for
glory and profit will not be tolerated.
Such behavior puts future missions in
jeopardy when potential foes can see
SEAL Team 6’s methods and tactics on
a computer screen or read about them
in a book.
The nation appreciates stoic warriors who are content to work in the
shadows in order to keep the country
safe. For that reason some of America’s elite fighters must be reminded
that silence is golden.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The new parking meters are tough to read
I read with amusement this Nov. 5
article “Learning Curve Proves Too
Tough for Parkers at New Meters.” On
a recent Friday evening my husband
and I went to Phipps Conservatory and
Botanical Gardens. We parked right in
front and saw the new meter. We went
over to see whether payment was due
after 6 p.m. We must have looked quite
comical trying to read the instructions in the dark. There is absolutely
no way of reading the screen once the
sun has set.
Luckily, I have a flashlight app on
my iPhone, so there we were shining
my phone in order to view the screen.
And now that we have changed the
clocks back, money will definitely be
due when it is dark outside.
We think the new meters are a great
idea, but the city better think about
charging only during daylight hours.

Difficult for seniors
I am wondering if the new payment
machines for parking were tested with
senior citizens and the handicapped
before being purchased. Remembering one’s license plate number is the
least of problems, having to walk to
the nearest machine is — then it is
often the case that bikes are padlocked
to the station restricting access.
The reflection of light in the screen
has been cited. Another problem is
the amount of finger or hand strength
needed to punch the buttons.
All in all, its not clear who is helped
by the new machines.

Conservative denial
I was driving around Central Pennsylvania one recent weekend and saw
dozens of yard signs blaming “Obama”
and “regulation” for the woes of the
coal industry. It’s odd that these areas
don’t recognize competition when
they see it. With all the fracking going
on, corporations are switching from
coal to the cheaper natural gas. But
it seems typical that when they can’t
compete, these areas suddenly want
government help and relief from
health and safety regulations.
I read a similar article about a
Republican majority on a congressional committee trying to suppress
a report they commissioned because
it doesn’t support their belief that tax
breaks to the rich will support jobs.
The willingness of conservatives to
deny reality when it doesn’t fit their
ideology never ceases to amaze me.
They start by denying evolutionary
history, even though that history supplies the very gas and oil resources
they are exploiting, and finish by
denying economic realities.

Honest review
I read with interest the Oct. 28
Forum piece “Will It All Come Down
to Coal?” and found it very worthy of
consideration. The timing was unfortunate as it appeared during an election fight. Rather, this issue and other
energy policies are quite basic to our
national well-being and deserve nonpartisan consideration.
What about miners on political TV
ads complaining about new regulations? Their point was quite valid. In
2011, there were more than 8,000 people employed in Pennsylvania mining.
Average wages were about $73,000
annually. That equals about one-half
billion dollars in earnings. With a
weak economy, can that be ignored?
Another issue was carbon dioxide and global warming. According
to the BP energy review, our nation
accounted for 13.5 percent of the
world’s coal consumption. China
consumed 49.4 percent and India 7.9
percent of the world’s coal, over four
times our usage.
Natural gas is given as the answer.
With current prices under $4/mmBtu
it is an option for electric generation.
But, for how long? The United States
will become an exporter of natural gas
within five to seven years — as much

as 10 percent of domestic production.
This will surely impact price.
Both solar and wind are mentioned
in the article. Most experts see wind
power as a more realistic renewable
resource. Yet, how do you store electricity? And given our environmental laws new hydroelectric plants are
not a current option, though widely
embraced elsewhere.
The coal article is a good start.
What is really needed is a full review
of our country’s policies on energy, the
environment and the economy — one
committed to honesty. If we increase
our energy costs while competing
nations don’t, what’s the impact on our
economy? If we do nothing, what future
weather problems are we inviting?
This is the time for statesmen to put
the country above politics.

In the bubble
In response to Colleen Hroncich
(“This Election Has Me Fearing for
the Future,” Nov. 9 letter), just as you
and your husband are shocked, so are
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. It was
reported that the Romney campaign
told the press they didn’t have a concession speech prepared.
The problem is you all live inside
the Fox bubble — you only hear and
believe what comes to you from rightwing TV, radio and print. Nate Silver
predicted this — he had Obama at
a 90.6 percent chance of re-election,
yet the Romney campaign chose to
ignore that, possibly didn’t even know
it existed because of the bubble. Karl
Rove stayed in the bubble even when
Fox told him it was over — of course,
he had a lot to fear — so much money,
so little return.
If their campaign is so incompetent
that they refuse to believe what is staring them in the face, why would you
want them running the country?
He lost because he Etch-a-Sketched,
he lost because he wouldn’t show his
tax returns, he lost because President
Obama’s policies have worked, he lost
because Republicans tried to intimidate voters, he lost because so many
women thought the abortion issue was
settled, he lost because Mr. Obama is
a better manager. Maybe that community organizing gave him a better
understanding of the world than the
view from Mr. Romney’s 1 percent.
You needn’t fear for your children
or grandchildren. Mr. Obama’s reelection is not the end of America —
it’s only so in right-wing land. Please
get yourselves out of the bubble.

Gerrymandered
Pennsylvania will have 18 representatives in the 113th Congress, 13
Republicans and five Democrats. This
may seem surprising because Democrats won the presidency, the Senate
and the statewide offices.
The conventional explanation, reiterated by the Post-Gazette recently, is
that people split their votes because
they are more conservative at the
local level. This explanation is wrong
because the total number of votes cast
for Democratic candidates for Congress in Pennsylvania (2.7 million)
was actually larger by about 75,000
than the total number of votes cast for
Republican congressional candidates.
Nationally, 53.9 million votes have
been counted for Democratic House
candidates and only 53.4 million for
Republican candidates.
The real reason for the disproportionate number of Republican
members of Congress is that the congressional districts have been gerrymandered. This essentially disenfranchised Democrats. The fairest distribution of seats would be 216 Republicans and 219 Democrats nationally
and nine each in Pennsylvania.
There is likely to be continued gridlock in the federal government. The
GOP will undoubtedly say that they
have a mandate to continue this gridlock, but they really do not.
The real reason that the GOP has a
majority and will be able to continue
to play an obstructionist role in Congress is that they have assiduously gerrymandered congressional districts to
thwart the majority of Americans

Don’t change
the air toxic
guidelines
While Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald was happy the
air toxics guidelines passed, he
stated, “There was an amendment
put in there that shouldn’t be there,
and will most likely be taken out at
the next meeting. That was a mistake.” I could not disagree more. As
Donald Burke, who chaired the Air
Toxics Review Committee, stated,
“[The original guidelines] are scientifically sound and were achieved
after reaching a consensus [with
industry input].”
Science was invented and
changes were made behind closed
doors to these originally agreed
upon guidelines. The most troubling change replaced the industry
standard of measuring pollution at
the applicant’s property line with
something they named a “public
exposure boundary” defined as
“the point of the nearest regularly
occupied or likely to be regularly
occupied (at least six hours per
day for a minimum of 30 days per
calendar year) structure beyond
the applicant’s property line.
Googling, I could find no other
examples of “public exposure
boundary” in any guidelines or
scientific publications. In addition,

K
the Air Toxics Review Committee
examined numerous air quality
policies and could find no other
examples of such an imaginative
and unfriendly standard for public health. All use property line.
The invented standards that Mr.
Fitzgerald seems to prefer are significantly weaker and fail to adequately protect the public health.
Under the adopted guidelines, no
permit from the past three years
would have been denied.
Such loose standards create
uncertain legal ramifications. Consider the impact on neighboring
landowners’ rights. A permit issued
next to undeveloped land creates a
moving target. Where is the nearest
building today? Tomorrow? This
uncertainty significantly impacts
the landowner’s ability to use their
land for future development. The
guidelines should stand as adopted.

PERSPECTIVES
EZRA KLEIN
DAN K. THOMASSON
America’s unnoticed revolution
So smart, yet so dumb
Step back for a minute, and consider the past few years
Petraeus trusted his fate to the notoriously untrustworthy Internet
S
ix days isn’t a long time
to digest a presidential
election, all that came
before it and all that’s
likely to come after. But it’s long
enough to get a bit of perspective.
Max Weber wrote that “politics is the strong and slow boring
of hard boards.” It is not a vocation that rewards impatience.
Progress is slow. It’s tough. It
requires compromises and is
marked by disappointments. It’s
incremental even when it needs
to be transformational. At least,
that’s how it usually is.
Step back and take an accounting of these last few years:
The United States of America,
a land where slaves were kept
150 years ago and bathrooms
were segregated as recently
as 50 years ago, elected and
reelected our first black president. We passed and ratified a
universal health care system.
We saw the first female speaker
of the House, the first Hispanic
Supreme Court justice and the
first openly gay member of the
Senate. We stopped a Great
Depression, rewrote the nation’s
financial regulations and nearly
defaulted on our debt for the first
time in our history. Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, New York, Vermont,
Maine, Maryland, Washington
and the District of Columbia
legalized gay marriage, and the
president and the vice president both proclaimed their support. Colorado and Washington
legalized marijuana. We killed
the most dangerous terrorist
in the world and managed two
wars. We’ve seen inequality and
debt skyrocket to some of the
highest levels in American history. We passed a stimulus and
investment bill that will transform everything from medical
records to education and began a
drone campaign that will likely
be seen as an epochal shift in the
way America conducts war.
Americans of good faith disagree over the worth of these initiatives and the nature of these
milestones. None of us know the
verdict that history will render.
But we can say with certainty
that the pace of change has been
breathlessly fast. We have toppled so many barriers, passed
so many reforms, completed
so many long quests, begun so
many experiments, that even
those of us who’ve been paying
attention have become inured to
how much has happened.
It is common, for instance, to
hear pundits wonder why the
president didn’t invest in longterm infrastructure after the
financial crisis or move Medicare beyond fee-for-service to
cut the debt, either forgetting or
never knowing that the stimulus
was one of the largest infrastructure investments in the nation’s
history and that the Affordable
Care Act is the most ambitious
effort to move American health
care towards a pay-for-quality
paradigm ever mounted.
Another complaint is that
the pace and scale of change has
been, if anything, insufficient.
The stimulus should’ve been
bigger, the health reforms more
ambitious, the largest banks broken apart, the wars either finished more swiftly or expanded
more decisively. All that may be
true, but it doesn’t obviate the
remarkable pace and scale of the
changes that have come.
More troublesome is that
even once change has happened,
it takes time for it to be felt. The
health care law, for instance,
won’t go fully into effect until
2014. And in some cases, the
extraordinary efforts were
meant to keep something from
happening. Our success in stopping another Great Depression
will be studied by economists
for years to come, but in real
people’s lives, this meant less
change, not more, for which we
should be thankful.
Political journalism, meanwhile, is built to obscure change
once it’s happened. The demands
of reporting the news require us
to focus on what’s being done,
rather than what’s been done
(notice how, mere days after a
presidential election, we have
already moved on to talking
about the Petraeus affair). The
focus on conflict elevates voices
that argue that we haven’t done
nearly enough, or that what
we’ve done wasn’t worth doing.
The community of the media
encourages a kind of jaded cynicism — you’re always safer pretending to have seen it all before
than to never have seen anything like it.
There is a theory in evolutionary biology called “punctuated
equilibrium.” It holds that most
species don’t change much for
long periods of time, but then
they change dramatically, in
rapid bursts, over geologically
short periods of time.
Political scientists Frank
Baumgartner and Bryan Jones
have argued that “punctuated
equilibrium” describes the path
of political systems, too. Typically, politics is held in stasis,
with little progress being made
in the slow boring of those hard
boards. But when change does
come, it’s not a steady process
of incremental advances but a
breathless flurry in which the
boards split all at once.
Whether we intended to or
not, whether it was sufficient or
not, whether we liked it or not,
we have been living through a
remarkable period of political
change in these last few years.
We have split so many hard
boards that we’re no longer surprised when they crack in half,
and we mainly wonder why we
haven’t gotten through more of
them, or why we didn’t choose
different ones.
But viewed against most other
eras in American life, the pace
of policy change in these last few
years has been incredibly fast.
Historians, looking back from
more quiescent periods, will
marvel at all that we have lived
through. Activists, frustrated
at their inability to shake their
countrymen out of their tranquility, will wish they’d been
born in a moment when things
were actually getting done, a
moment like this one.

Up with food trucks
Pittsburgh should free its eatery entrepreneurs
T
he election is finally
over. Whether you’re
celebrating, enraged or
just relieved not to have
to suffer through yet another
campaign ad, let’s forget about
the divisiveness of politics and
focus on something that we can
all appreciate for its diversity
and differences: food!
For the past several years,
chefs across the country have
been putting their food on
wheels and hitting the streets in
gourmet food trucks. This delicious trend has made it here to
the Steel City, and if you haven’t
had the opportunity to visit one
of these mobile kitchens, find
one immediately.
Unfortunately, that will prove
difficult. Compared to similarly
sized cities, Pittsburgh has
very few food trucks. This isn’t
because of the city’s climate, or
its hilly terrain — but its laws.
In Pittsburgh, trucks may not
park at metered spaces, cannot
stay in one place for more than 30
minutes and are forbidden from
operating within 500 feet of a restaurant that sells similar food.
These and other restrictions
make it nearly impossible to run
a successful food truck, and less
competition means higher prices
and fewer lunchtime choices for
workers throughout the city.
These laws aren’t just keeping food trucks away from you.
They are also unconstitutional.
Laws like Pittsburgh’s are frequently passed at the behest of
a few brick-and-mortar restaurants that want the government
to “protect” them from the competition posed by mobile counterparts. But having the city
pick winners and losers is not
a legitimate use of government
power, and courts that consider
similar laws routinely strike
them down.
Fortunately, Pittsburgh Councilman Bill Peduto has introduced legislation to fix the city’s
food-truck laws. Also fortunate
is the fact that many Pittsburgh
restaurants are rallying around
food trucks, embracing these
new mobile kitchens as welcome
additions to the city’s thriving
culinary scene and a new way to
reach their customers.
Pittsburgh should embrace
food trucks. They put people to
work, enrich communities and
serve as “eyes on the street”
that help make public rights-ofway safer and friendlier. Some
brick-and-mortar restaurants
may argue that trucks threaten
their businesses but cities that
have good food-truck laws also
have vibrant restaurant scenes.
Food trucks aren’t “unfair competition,” because any advantage that a food truck’s mobility
might provide is more than offset by its many disadvantages,
including no seating, no climate
control, no extra storage space
and no booze.
Governments have a role to
play in regulating trucks, but
it should be limited to ensuring
public health and safety. Food
trucks should be allowed to
operate wherever their presence
won’t cause excessive congestion. They should be required to
be sanitary and safe, just as restaurants are. And they should
be responsible for the litter they
generate. These are legitimate
regulations that the government
has the right to impose; everything else should be wiped clean
from the Pittsburgh city code.
So why should you care about
where and when food trucks can
operate in Pittsburgh?
The first and probably most
obvious reason to the hungry
reader: More choices!
The second and more fundamental reason: These seemingly small, local issues are
what define us as a nation of
opportunity, a place where
entrepreneurs of all stripes can
try to climb their way up the
economic ladder. We can’t allow
the government to cut the ladder
out from any entrepreneur, big
or small, stationary or mobile.
Nobody should be subject to
arbitrary, anti-competitive and
unconstitutional abuses of government power.
Small enterprises represent
big dreams. Eat a hot dog at
Franktuary or a pierogi from
the Pierogi Truck. While you’re
enjoying your food (and you
will), talk to the owners about
their struggles to succeed —
especially with so many roadblocks in the way — and their
aspirations to grow.
Now, back to that election.
It’s easy to feel as though your
impact is lost in the race for the
president. But you can have a
very real impact at the local
level — by becoming a champion for your entrepreneurial
neighbors, starting with food
trucks. Make a phone call to City
Council. Sign a petition (you can
find one at www.pghmobilefood.
com). These small actions can
produce demonstrable, satisfying change.
Support Pittsburgh’s food
trucks and help them make
their way up the economic ladder — and hopefully, to a curb
near you.

T
he title of this saga probably should be “Why Do
Smart People Do Obviously Dumb Things?”
Probably the best advice my
father ever gave me was never to
write anything you wouldn’t be
comfortable seeing printed on the
front page of your newspaper. It’s
not a complicated rule and should
be followed by everyone, especially those who dwell in high
places with a long distance to fall.
That is the classic definition
of tragedy and Gen. David Petraeus fits it almost perfectly having ended a glorious career in
an inglorious fashion in the time
it takes to read a few emails he
never should have written in the
first place. How incredible that
the head of the CIA, where everything is so secret the person in
the next office often hasn’t a clue
what is going on two doors down,
would trust his future to a device
that is notoriously unsecure —
the Internet.
Forget about the morality or
lack of it involved here. Adultery is never a justifiable act. It
is not surprising, however, that
a man of his stature under great
pressure during long absences
from home on the front lines of
national defense would look for
creature pleasures with a smart,
vital, engaging, type-A personality 20 years his junior. Dumb?
Certainly. But not rare. Have you
not heard of Gen. Dwight Eisenhower and Kay Summersby?
That Gen. Petraeus’s part-time
companion turned out to be a jealous and indiscreet handful is not
unusual in these situations. Ask
Bill Clinton.
What is shocking is that a
normally cautious man who has
spent a lifetime in sensitive positions would fail to recognize the
danger of his actions or the pain it
would cause others if discovered.
Indeed, it is amazing that Paula
Broadwell, his devoted biographer who also is schooled in
intelligence matters, would recklessly challenge by email another
woman she perceived as a rival
for the good general’s attention.
The second woman read it as a
threat and reported it. Hello, FBI,
so long, general.
But, as we all know, sexual
chemistry tops caution almost
every time, even among those
who know what’s at stake. Some
reach heights that lead them to
believe they are immune from
the self-restraint any prudent person would follow. Others are just
so caught up in the emotion, they
are careless. Gen. Petraeus may
have been a little of both.
If those close to Gen. Petraeus
noticed the electricity between
him and Ms. Broadwell, which
they reportedly did, they apparently failed to warn him — not
unusual for subordinates when
dealing with superiors at that
exalted level. Who would feel
comfortable enough to broach
such a subject with a four-star
eminence? In fact, the head of the
FBI and the attorney general of
the United States blinked several
times before telling the national
intelligence director and the
president. Agents already had
determined it was a matter not
involving any breach or threat to
national security.
Whether or not the president
should have accepted Gen. Petraeus’s resignation is bound to be
debated for some time. There had
been friction between them over
Afghanistan. Gen. Petraeus’s
departure is a sizable loss to the
government.
Once again, the EisenhowerSummersby relationship comes
to mind. Chief of Staff George
C. Marshall reportedly rejected
Eisenhower’s request for permission to divorce his wife and marry
Summersby. The implication was
clear. Summersby would no longer be in the picture nor would
Eisenhower if the liaison continued. The relationship ended and
the willowy Irish beauty who
had been Ike’s driver walked
away. She wrote about the true
nature of their affair only after
Eisenhower’s death and when she
herself was dying. Eisenhower
went on to the leadership role that
helped end the war in Europe.
As a news executive, I spent
more than a year visiting newspaper and television properties
lecturing on libel, slander and
other subjects, including Internet
security. The message delivered
repeatedly was don’t trust emails.
My father’s advice came through
loud and clear. What a hard lesson
Gen. Petraeus has had to learn.

TOWN MEETING
SECOND TERM
OR
SECOND CHANCE?
Monday, December 10 | Heinz History Center | 6:00 pm | Free
Barack Obama’s re-election victory seals his place in history, but the president’s second
term is as much a burden as an achievement. Ahead is the terrifying ``fiscal cliff,’’ but
that is not the only danger facing the president and Congress. Amid party deadlock,
Washington must confront high unemployment and a looming crisis involving Social
Security and Medicare. Precisely seven weeks before the president’s second Inaugural,
our panel of experts examine the Obama legacy – and the Obama challenge.

What to do with children’s clothes once
they’re stained, snagged or just too small
is not a problem for Kathleen DeMartino.
Others may consider such outfits destined
to be ditched, but this mother of two from
Fox Chapel turns them into a handmadein-Pittsburgh line of girls’ apparel called
Depression Couture.
“It’s taking the incredible ideals of the
Depression housewives, who would look to
remaking things that no longer fit their kids
or themselves,” she says. “That’s where the
name comes from. It’s kind of going back to
the era of feed sack fashion.”
Ms. DeMartino, who has an art degree
from the Center for Creative Studies College
of Art & Design in Detroit, has been sewing
and designing for years. Prior to Depression
Couture, she created and sold PetuniaBaker,
a higher-end collection of children’s clothes.
The idea for her latest fashion endeavor
came when Ms. DeMartino’s daughter, now
10 years old, spilled chocolate milk on her
Julianna Margulies on the set of “The Good Wife.”

HIGHPOINT, N.C. — There are certain movies in
which the rooms are as interesting as the characters.
One that comes to mind is Nancy
Meyers’ 2009 film “It’s Complicated.” The California ranch home
that Meryl Streep lives in was nearly
as enticing as the story line — Alec
Baldwin played the philandering
husband who wants her back.
On the small screen, Beth Kushnick’s set decorating is once again
garnering raves. The apartment,
offices and furnishings she cre- Beth Kushnick

to work as a defense attorney after her husband, Peter

wonderful performances by PBT’s dancers. Gabriela and David Porges
chaired the benefit, which raised $450,000.

A rosy glow filled the Westin Convention Center ballroom Saturday,
causing the nearly 400 guests to gush
“c’est manifique” as they arrived
for Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre’s
Pointe in Time Ball. The theme
was “A Parisian Cabaret,” and the
spectacular dinner would have made
Julia Child proud. Seared scallops,
herb-rubbed filet or cornish hen, slowroasted tomato salad, a cheese plate
and French pastries — everything
was perfection and that was before
the spirited crowd took to the dance
floor with encouragement from Gary
Racan and the studio-e Band.
Of course, the ball supports ballet, and the evening began with a
wonderful sampler of performances
by PBT dancers. Other company
members mingled in black tie, giving
guests a chance to meet them both
during cocktails (an absinthe bar
was a novelty) and the silent auction
that preceded the live version. With
offerings like a trip to New York or
Paris, a two-week adventure in South
Africa and more than 70 bottles of
French wine, it was no wonder the
auction fetched more than $100,000
under Jim Roddey’s experienced
gavel. By evening’s end the gala total
was $450,000, but a truer measure of
success was how much fun the guests
had and how late many stayed.
Gabriela and EQT CEO David
Porges chaired the ball, lending
their style to the elegant evening. Of
course, PBT executive director Harris Ferris was there with Janet. And
artistic director Terrence Orr and his
wife Marianna Tcherkassky greeted

Get a hand when putting on bracelet
S T YLEBOOK
SAR A BAUKNECHT
Even the most skilled fashionista struggles
sometimes with putting on jewelry or applying
nail polish by herself.
Unless she has the bracelet assistant and
portable nail station from RadaPro. A professional manicurist and an inventor with a
background in mechanical engineering created the problem-solving products. The bracelet assistant holds a bracelet in place, as if providing the wearer with an extra hand to hold it
steady while she clasps it. It also folds up into a
portable jewelry box that can be slipped into a
handbag while on the go.
The portable nail station is equipped with
an adjustable platform for positioning a foot or
hand for a pedicure or manicure and includes
holders for nail files, polish remover, cotton
balls and other mani-pedi essentials. A highlight is the nail polish compartment, which
secures polish bottles in place to help prevent
spilling.
The nail station is $29.99, and the bracelet
assistant is $24.99. Both are available at www.
radapro.com.
The Bracelet Assistant costs $24.99.

did for another victim of a cheating mate in “It’s Complicated,”
Ms. Kushnick creates a world
of interiors on a sound stage in
Brooklyn.
“People wanted to know
things so I give them sources
on the blog. Every single week
since the show began, I would
get a question about Will’s
leather chair in his office, which
I designed with Mitchell Gold +
Bob Williams,” Ms. Kushnick
says.
Law partner Will Gardner’s
(Josh Charles) leather club chair
is one of the best-selling items in
the line, along with Kalinda’s
chair, which is sleek, sexy and
a little dangerous like the character, Kalinda Sharma (Archie
Panjabi), a private investigator
for the law firm of Lockhart &
Gardner. Many of the pieces
were designed with the character in mind, including the Alicia
sofa and Diane’s desk, which is
used by Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski).
The furniture collection will
undoubtedly grow as the story
line does. In some scenes, Ms.
Kushnick uses furniture from
existing Mitchell Gold + Bob
Williams collections.
“I read in the script that there
would be a flashback scene to 10
years before in the home Alicia
and Peter owned. I was able to
get a big comfy, round-armed,
slip-covered sofa that you
couldn’t find anymore from (the
company) and they got it to me
in three days.”
With 30 years of decorating
experience in film, commercials, other TV shows including
“Fringe” and “Law and Order:
Trial by Jury” as well as private clients, Ms. Kushnick has
developed a broad and appealing
range. But she had never entered
into a partnership with a furniture manufacturer to make her
designs available to consumers until “The Good Wife” and
the enthusiastic response of
its viewers. Ms. Kushnick and
CBS partnered Mitchell Gold
+ Bob Williams on furniture
and Interlude Home on lighting
and accessories. The Good Wife
(TGW) line was introduced at
the Fall International Furniture
Market in High Point, N.C.
“It reflects my design philosophy and what I do with private
clients as well. I’m not looking to
do spare, noncharacter-infused
homes or rooms for anybody,”
she says. “It’s the reason I think
so many fans say ‘I want to live
in Alicia’s apartment.’”
The look is very attainable.
One of the more notable details
is the fortune cookie collection
in a bowl in the kitchen.
“Some of our sets were
flooded after Sandy and my
daughter said, ‘I really hope my
fortune cookie collection is still
OK,” says Ms. Kushnick, who is
famous in the industry for attention to the tiniest details, even
those the viewers never see.
“We create full back stories
for every character, so on my
sets every drawer is filled and
every cabinet stocked with what
that character would have.”
She does it for the show, the
characters and her own personal pleasure. “For me it is just
something that is a must,” she
explains.
Ms. Kushnick is so dedicated

to the creation of an environment that she gets excited when
she sees really good fake food
mixed with the real in Alicia’s
refrigerator.
“I think social media has
helped me understand what fans
are focusing on and through the
show I have contributed to their
visual training. I get screen
shots sent to me, pictures of
homes, pictures from the show.
“They tweet me through
every episode and talk about
patterns and fabrics, the colors,
the palette. I could interact with
the fans as a full-time job,” she
laughs. “They really keep me
going.”
Mr. Gold, co-founder of Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, agrees
that consumers have been influenced by television.
“Years ago, Bob and I were
talking about how the American consumer has gotten progressively more sophisticated
in their home furnishings taste
and how we believed a significant part of this was due to television shows. It exposes people
to higher-end design.”
What drew Ms. Kushnick to
the North Carolina-based furniture manufacturer was how
similar its design aesthetic was
to her own as well as how versatile it could be. “The ability
for me to use the furniture in
a contract setting such as the
law offices, a bar, a nightclub, a
lobby and a home or apartment
just made my job more fluid.”
“When we saw what Beth was
doing with ‘The Good Wife,’ we
immediately felt this was a show
that was very much simpatico
with our products,” Mr. Gold
says. “It’s been a big success,
frankly bigger than I expected.”
All TGW furniture can be custom-upholstered. For example,
Kalinda’s chair, which is shown
in leather, can be done in fabric
and the standard foam cushion
can be ordered in down.

Grandma needs to extend
an olive branch to grandson
steel advice
DEAR MARY ANN: My grandson and
his girlfriend were invited to attend [a holiday dinner] along with the rest of the family.
They have a baby boy whom his girlfriend
does not want my daughter to see for reasons
that are unknown to me. My daughter was in
our downstairs game room holding the baby
while the [baby’s] mother was upstairs. She
later went downstairs and seeing my daughter holding the baby, she took him from my
daughter and told my grandson that they
were leaving immediately. A verbal confrontation developed between my daughter and
my grandson’s girlfriend. At one point, I told
my daughter along with my grandson and
his girlfriend that I wanted them to leave.
My husband then asked me not to interfere.
A short time later, the arguing escalated into
pushing and shoving. At first, my grandson
watched the two of them argue uncontrollably and did not do a thing. I believe that
my grandson’s girlfriend initiated the first
shove. When my daughter shoved her back,
my grandson then gave his mother a very
hard shove that knocked her on the floor.
She was not hurt, but at that point, I backed
my grandson into a wall telling him that I
will not tolerate him laying his hands on his
mother. I then told my grandson and his girlfriend that they were to leave immediately.
My daughter has apologized to me for the
incident, but my grandson never has, nor
MARY ANN WELLENER
has he spoken a word to me since. Because
he has made the choice not to apologize to me
or speak to me, I have decided to disregard
giving him any more birthday or Christmas
gifts. It seems apparent that he feels he does
not owe me an apology for his behavior and
that he wants nothing to do with me.
— GRANDMA WHO WANTS AN
APOLOGY
DEAR GRANDMA: As matriarch of
this four-generation family, it is your role to
act like the responsible adult. As hurt as you
are about this melee, blaming your grandson for not apologizing to you is childish. He
was defending his child’s mother and may
feel he did nothing wrong. The best gift you
can give him is forgiveness. You perpetuate
the rift with this grandson if you don’t talk
with him about what happened. Invite him
to lunch. You can’t solve all of the problems
of an angry family dynamic but you can
attempt to rebuild a relationship with your
grandson.
DEAR MARY ANN: My wife and I
have three young granddaughters who live
roughly 1,700 miles away. The oldest granddaughter is 4. We love seeing the girls but
because of the distance this usually only
happens twice a year. Do you have any suggestions of any grandparent-type traditions
we could start and maintain from a distance
that could be fun and perhaps meaningful
for the girls without being an imposition on
their busy parents?
— FARAWAY GRANDPARENT
DEAR FARAWAY GRANDPARENT:
As the out-of-town grandparent you have
to devote extra effort to build a relationship
with your granddaughters. Memories are
created small steps at a time.
Children love to hear stories, read books
and get mail. Not all children like to talk on
the phone, but they all love to receive packages. You can tuck little extras in the package: holiday socks or novelties, craft supplies, crayons, paints and always a book with
a note in front so they know it is from you.
Every year send an age-appropriate back-toschool box. Clip a picture of an elephant or
a beautiful flower and put it in the mail. Let
your little girls know you think of them and
why. When you travel send post cards; mail
a large map and highlight where you live
and where they live. Skype and recorded stories are great options. Every connection you
make serves to pass on your family values.
The effort you make to communicate
with your granddaughters at each level of
their development will reap rewards as they
mature. Don’t let distance be a deterrent.

favorite T-shirts.
“I tried to come up with something to do with them because she
had a fit.”
Ms. DeMartino pieced the tees
together into a new skirt for her
daughter, which moms at the
Picket Fence in Shadyside “oohed”
and “awed” about when she wore it
shopping.
“The shop owner overheard, and
it just kind of took off from there,”
Ms. DeMartino says.
Fast-forward a couple of years
and Depression Couture’s mix of
skirts, tops, denim jackets and
more for sizes 2 through 14 is sold at
the Picket Fence, Lullabye Landing
Boutique near South Hills Village
and So Me in Glenshaw. Clothes
also are available at www.etsy.
com/shop/DepressionCouture.
Price points vary, from $24 for
a knit sweater hat to $146 for a twopiece holiday outfit made from recycled and felted sweaters. Keeping
the cost sensible is in line with the
collection’s eco-friendly nature.
“If you can stay true to your
story, that is who your brand is,”
she says. “I think there is a demand
for something like what I do.”
The process begins with gather-
ing recyclables to make over into
new looks. In addition to her own
children’s closets, she shops for
fabrics at used clothing sales, and
local friends in the design industry give her fabric samples when
they’re out of season or discontinued. Everything is boiled and
disinfected, and some pieces are
dyed.
Her designs are inspired by
European patterns. The prepped
fabrics are then cut and sewn
together — all by Ms. DeMartino,
who can turn out about 50 pieces
per month if needed, depending
upon the order. She often gets
requests from mothers wanting a
sweater like their daughter’s made
in adult sizes. Stores have been
selling out their stocks in a matter
of days, she says.
“There’s value in things that
don’t fit you anymore. You don’t
just throw things in the trash just
because you can’t use it anymore,”
Ms. DeMartino says. “At the end
of the day, it is fun. As long as I’m
having fun, I’ll do this for a very
long time.”

James and Carole McMahon
celebrated
their
50th
wedding
anniversary on July 28, 2012. They have
two children: James and Roy Mark. The
couple lives in Imperial.
Where were you married? Why did you
choose that site?
Carole: St. Columbkille Church in
Imperial because Jim was a practicing
Catholic.
How did you meet?
Carole: We met a Raccoon Park Beach
while strolling along with our friends.
Where was the reception and honeymoon?
Why did you choose those sites?
Carole: The reception was in my mom
and dad’s basement and outside because
money wasn’t plentiful when we started
out and we loved small gatherings.
Where did you each grow up?
Carole: Jim grew up in Imperial and
I grew up near Carnegie in a small town
called Ft. Pitt.
Who proposed? How?
Carole: It was mutual. We went
together for a year and talked to each
other about how well we got along and
loved each other and decided to marry.
What was your favorite wedding
memory?
Carole: My best memory was our first
trip to Niagara Falls. Neither of us has
been on many vacations and it was just
so special and beautiful.
Are there any current wedding trends that
you wish you could have incorporated?
Carole: I would have liked to have
rented a reception hall because I could
have decorated more as brides do today
– more room, music and dancing.
Do you still own any of your wedding
gifts? If so, what?
Carole: Yes, a few. We still have a pretty
red candy dish from my mother and a
picture of Jim and me in our wedding
clothes that our best man sent to us.
What is the secret to your successful
marriage?
Carole: We always share our views
about everything and let each other have
some freedom to do things that we like
to do separately. No lies either.
What activity do you enjoy doing most
as a couple?
Carole: In our old age, we just love to
go to a nice dinner and a good movie.
How did you celebrate your
anniversary?
Carole: We had a party at Celebrations
& More in Imperial on July 29. July 28
was taken.
Other details:
Carole: I was just thrilled because I
only had one other party in my lifetime
and that was my bridal shower. The cake
was just beautiful with gold flowers and
I placed the bride and groom topper
from our wedding on it.

"The Face In The Crowd"
I had nearly lost my mind
And I was shaking so bad it was
a pity
For never in my life had I seen
Someone so doggone pretty

Like she knew what it was all

And me;I just stood there in awe
Just wondering what the heck I

That could make this angel of the

Even so much; as look my way
And so it continued the saga
Of a man so deeply in love
And who was so taken and
enthralled by this woman
Who he’d sworn had been sent
from above
But then by some strange twist
of fate
She had found her way over to
me
And my eyes opened up like a
cannonball
And I proceeded to say to she:
"I cannot believe how pretty you
are"
"And to say anything less I’d be
remiss"
And at that she leaned over very
casually
And gave me a great big kiss

Don’t count out The Who
By Scott Mervis
The Who hasn’t played
Pittsburgh in 12 years, having
skipped us on the past few tours,
so fans here would have been
thrilled with a full-on greatest
hits show.
Of course, that’s not the
agenda on this tour as the band
is dusting off a 39-year-old Mods
vs. Rockers rock opera that was
a little obscure to American
audiences even back then. That,
and the subpar Super Bowl gig,
help explain why the upper
decks were practically empty at
Consol Energy Center Sunday
night.
Fortunately, “Quadrophenia”
is one of the two or three best
Who albums and some might
even argue it was the band’s last
great work. As the Consol show
is just a few dates into the tour,
we got it at the perfect time.
Still, it got off to a shaky start
when the “I Am the Sea” intro
played twice without Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend stepping on stage. The third time
was a charm but Daltrey muffed
the first note of “The Real Me”
and had to start again. Even
then, he didn’t sound like The
Real Daltrey, fading at times and
shying away from the higher
notes.
It seemed like we were in for
a long night, but you can’t count
out The Who, as we’ve learned
many times. Pete’s younger
brother Simon and drummer
Zak Starkey powered them
through a spot-on version of the
“Quadrophenia” overture and
Pete came through with a rugged, emotional take on “Cut My
Hair,” with clips of the band in
younger, wilder days flashing
behind them.
While it’s a bit out of whack,
frankly, to see a gray-haired
67-year-old man who looks every
bit his age sing the words of a
troubled young mod, there was
an undeniable poignancy to it
(especially if you happen to be
in the midst of reading his autobiography).
Daltrey — warmed up, shirt
open and twirling his mike —
found his pipes for “The Punk
Meets the Godfather” while
Ringo’s son did his best Keith
Moon. He and bassist Pino Palladino drove the engine hard all
night, except for the amazing
rumbling solo on “5:15,” coming
to us on video from the late John
Entwistle. That sparked lots of
windmilling from Pete and a
heated jam from The Who, who,

Consol Energy Center.
concert review
by the way, came with a killer
sound system. The late, lovable
Moonie had his moment on the
maniacal “Bell Boy” vocal, not
to mention all the crushing
drum fills that he originated.
Simon was a diamond in
the rough, whether it was taking a guitar lead or stepping
up with a bold vocal on “Dirty
Jobs” that found the sweet spot
between Roger and Pete. The latter did a hard, bluesy vocal on
“Drowned,” adding a gritty reference to the Ohio.
The big climax was all about
Roger. The show steadily built
steam toward to “Dr. Jimmy”
and “Love Reign O’er Me,”
and when they came up, the
muscular singer nailed both,
reaching deep and hitting that
“Looooove!” scream almost like
he did back in the day.
Overall, the playing — with the
help of the two horns and three
keyboards (why?) — was flawless and often thrilling. On “The
Rock,” The Who was the quadrophonic, symphonic powerhouse
Pete envisioned when he dreamed
up this opus back in ’72.
After Pete’s complimentary
remarks about the city, The Who
launched into a crowd-pleasing
encore set starting with “Who
Are You” and offering a taste of
“Tommy” (“Pinball Wizard”),
a gentle acoustic closing of
“Tea & Theatre” and the crashing best of “Who’s Next” with
“Behind Blue Eyes,” the politically charged “Won’t Get Fooled
Again” (perfect scream!) and the
anthemic “Baba O’Riley.”
It seemed to me that when the
seasoned Who fans yelled “teenage wasteland … they’re all
wasted!” it carried a different
meaning than it had back when
THEY were the teenagers.

‘Driving Daisy’ still resonates;
‘Seven Guitars’ mostly in tune
Say “Driving Miss Daisy,”
and the mind can’t help but conjure Jessica Tandy and Morgan
Freeman from the 1989 Oscarwinning best picture by Albert
Uhry, who also won that year
for adapting his Pulitzer Prizewinning play. The Jewish Theatre of Pittsburgh revisits the
story of an elderly Southern
Jewish woman and her 25-year
bond with her African-American chauffeur in Rodef Shalom
Congregation’s Levy Hall, an
intimate and apt setting.
In a scene midway through
the play, the title character is
told by her driver, Hoke Colburn, that her synagogue has
been bombed. “Who would do
that? It’s a mistake,” she says,
determining that the intended
target must have been a conservative temple. Her congregation
is reform — as is Rodef Shalom.
When Hoke tries to explain the
“who would do that” by relating
that he had witnessed a lynching years earlier, Miss Daisy
shuts down. This woman who
has lived through both World
Wars can’t handle the idea that
Jews and blacks might be hated
equally by any group.
As she spends time with Hoke
and the civil rights movement
gains traction, Miss Daisy’s attitude evolves, even as her body
and mind begin to fail.
Cary Ann Spears, who has
graced many local stages, is too
youthful to be fully embraced
as a widow aging from 72 to her
90s, although we feel the pain
as her step slows and her back
curves during the course of the
play. She draws us into Miss
Daisy’s frustration with the ravages of time, and her delivery as
a crusty former school teacher
and infuriating backseat driver
is spot on.
When we meet Daisy Werthan, she has just had a car
accident yet refuses her son Boolie’s offer of a “colored” driver.
Boolie ignores her protests and
hires chatty charmer Hoke, and
we are treated to a bravura performance by Kevin Brown, a
local actor seen recently in the
August Wilson Center Theater
Ensemble’s “Gem of the Ocean.”
Hoke wears down Miss Daisy’s resolve and deftly parries
her every resistance.
As Boolie, Todd Betker
rounds director Marci Woodruff’s engaging cast. Boolie recognizes that Hoke has become
essential to his mother and pays
him generously while putting up
with Miss Daisy’s complaints.

stage reviews
“You’re a doodle, Mama,” Boolie
is fond of saying.
Characters enter and exit
scenes to time specific-songs
and through various points in
a black-curtain backdrop that is
distracting but functional. The
simple set offers a partial office
and living room on either side
of raised benches that represent
the cars that carry Miss Daisy
and Hoke as near as the Piggly
Wiggly and as far as a visit to
Mobile, Ala.
From her backseat perch,
Miss Daisy tries to be Hoke’s
GPS in all things, but it’s Hoke
who emerges as her gentle guide
through later life. As they reach
the poignant end to their quarter century together, we are glad
to have been along for the ride.

‘Seven Guitars’
Among the 10 plays of August
Wilson’s epic Pittsburgh Cycle,
“Seven Guitars” may be the most
personal. Although the date is
1948, the setting is the Hill District backyard at 1727 Bedford,
where Wilson (1945-2005) spent
his first 13 years, and the play is
filled with the texture of the life
he observed there.
Even so, “Seven Guitars” is
fiction. It’s also Wilson’s only
mystery, starting just after a
funeral, leaping back a week,
then proceeding to reveal who
killed Floyd Barton and why.
Along the way in the current
Point Park Conservatory production, we discover the real
subject, the seven intertwined
lives, each with its different
song. Floyd and his dreams of
music stardom may be central,
but not by much. There’s also
cryptic prophet Hedley and his
confused vision of the black man
triumphant; Vera, Louise and
Canewell, looking for love; Red,
the loyal friend; and young Ruby
with her “little fast behind” (as
her aunt says), carrying a secret
and a plan.
Ultimately, “Seven Guitars”
has no one lesson to teach. As
always in Wilson, there’s plenty
of comedy, but for all its pleasure
and comforting music, the pain

endures.
Indeed, the play is neither
tragedy, comedy nor melodrama. Chicago serves these
Pittsburghers as Moscow does
Chekhov’s three sisters, as a
dream of escape and achievement, never to be realized.
More than anything, “Seven
Guitars” depends on its vernacular poetry, laced with the stuff
of everyday life — brand names,
sports stars, childhood rhymes
and snippets of music, sung by
the seven but also wrapping
scenes in ambient music.
Visiting director Jade King
Carroll has emphasized this
speech, sometimes to the extent
that the student actors stand
awkwardly still. But they clearly
understand the language, which
is the main thing.
There is of course (as in any college show) a disjunction between
young actors and their characters
of middling years, but the sense
of character comes through in
any case. I am especially taken by
Trumaine Verret-Fleming’s insistent charisma as Floyd, MichaelAngelo Turner’s irony and energy
as Canewell and Alexis Cash’s
refusal to play to a stereotype as
sexy Ruby. But I could praise the
other four, as well.
The only drawback is that in
striving for a Haitian dialect
as Hedley, Saladin White II is
often unintelligible — and the
character is a strange, would-be
prophet whom we want to understand better.
Rich Preffer’s set seems lifted
right out of a Hill backyard, and
it is well matched by professional-quality costumes, lights
and sound.
“Seven Guitars” demonstrates the great truth of all Wilson’s plays, that everyone is the
star of his or her own life story,
and all those stories have interest when told with such a mix of
poetry, laughter and tears.
Note: Early in their rehearsals, I spent an afternoon with
the cast, giving them a tour of
August Wilson’s Hill; I’d do the
same for any local production of
his plays.
“Seven Guitars” is at Point
Park Conservatory, Pittsburgh
Playhouse, 222 Craft Ave., Oakland, through Sunday, then Nov.
29–Dec. 2; 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, 2 p.m. Saturday-Sunday. It is
in the 75-seat studio theater and is
said to be sold out, but there is a
line at each show for turn-backs.
On the night reviewed there were
10 empty seats.

Children’sCorner
Lemony Snicket discusses
‘Who Could That Be at This Hour?’
Karen MacPherson
Scripps Howard News Service
Take a zany plot set in a place called
Stain’d-by-the-Sea, where there is no
longer any sea. Add a narrator who isn’t
quite sure himself exactly what is going
on. Paint the whole thing as a parody
of the “noir” style popularized by such
hard-boiled mystery masters as Dashiell
Hammett and Raymond Chandler.
Blend all these ingredients — don’t forget to stir in a huge dollop of dry humor
at the last moment — and you’ve got the
latest children’s novel by an author with
the curious, or suspicious, name of Lemony Snicket.
Titled “Who Could That Be at This
Hour?” (Little Brown, $15.99, ages 8-12),
the newest novel by Snicket is the first
book in a series called “All the Wrong
Questions.” “Lemony Snicket” is the
sometimes pen name of Daniel Handler,
who also writes books under his own
name.
If the first book is any indication, it’s
a series that is pretty much guaranteed
to delight young readers and baffle their
parents.
The series also functions as prequel,
of sorts, to Snicket’s best-selling 13-book
children’s series titled “A Series of
Unfortunate Events.” In those books, he
narrates the grim story of the orphaned
Baudelaire children; in the new series,
he tells how he got his start in a mysterious federation of detectives.
In a recent telephone interview, Mr.
Handler talked about his new book, noting that “it’s heavily influenced by noir,”
or “hard-boiled,” mysteries, in which
the detective has a cynical view of life
and his/her work. The noir feel of “Who
Could That Be at This Hour?” is further
enhanced by the stylized illustrations
done by an artist simply named Seth.
“I doubt that ‘noir’ means anything
to kids,” added Mr. Handler, who’s long
been a fan of noir fiction. “It’s one of the
strange things about genres like noir,
that you’re first introduced to them as a
parody when you’re young.”
But Mr. Handler, 42, says he expects
that “Who Could That Be at This Hour?”
will resonate with kids as a “journey of
childhood.”
“There’s something that people of all
ages respond to about the idea of a lonely
detective discovering moral corruption
and still trying to find a clear path, even
as he is being led around by the nose by
a femme fatale,” he said with his typical
deadpan humor.
In “Who Could That Be at This

is the newest novel by Snicket and
the first book in a series called “All
the Wrong Questions.”
Hour?,” Snicket is being trained by
a shadowy organization to do some
unspecified clandestine activities
under the tutelage of an inept, martinet-style trainer.
Here’s how Mr. Handler opens the
book: “There was a town, and there was
a girl, and there was a theft. I was living
in the town, and I was hired to investigate the theft, and I thought the girl had
nothing to do with it. I was almost thirteen and I was wrong. I was wrong about
all of it.”
Snicket deliberately chooses to apprentice for a clueless trainer, S. Theodora
Classic Peanuts
Let’sTalkAboutArt
Markson, figuring that this will allow
him fuller scope to do the kind of work
he feels he should be doing.
Unfortunately, Snicket’s initial plans
go awry almost immediately when
Markson spirits him off to Stain’d-bythe-Sea and away from his sister and the
undercover work they had planned to do
together in the city.
In Stain’d-by-the-Sea, Snicket learns
that he and Markson are supposed to
steal an iconic statue called the Bombinating Beast and return it to someone who says she is the rightful owner.
Snicket, however, discovers that the
statue is actually with its rightful owner
and that stealing it will put the statue in
the wrong hands.
Meanwhile, Snicket meets two fascinating young women: Moxie Mallahan,
who strives to report the town’s news
despite a shortage of ink; and the quickwitted Ellington Feint, who says she is
searching for her kidnapped father but
shows up in surprising places.
Snicket also strikes up an acquaintance with Dashiell Qwerty, the town’s
“sub-librarian,” who is described as
having “the hairstyle one gets if one
is attacked by a scissors-carrying
maniac and lives to tell the tale.” With
Qwerty’s help, Snicket is able to send
coded postcards to his sister to explain
why he’s not able to carry out their
original plans.
As in the “Series of Unfortunate
Events” books, Mr. Handler’s dry wit,
wordplay and perfect comic timing
greatly expand the humorous confusion
in “Who Could That Be at This Hour?”
Readers may not get all of the literary allusions Mr. Handler packs into
the story, and they certainly won’t get
answers to the many questions Snicket
poses, but they’ll still revel in following
his progress, or lack thereof.
Mr. Handler, who also has written
picture books as well as novels for teens
and adults, says he first got the “germ of
the idea” for the “All the Wrong Questions” series when he was finishing up
“A Series of Unfortunate Events.”
The new series will be a quartet,
although each book will have 13 chapters, as 13 is a favorite number for Mr.
Handler, who says he’s “still stunned” by
the literary success of “A Series of Unfortunate Events.”
“I assumed that the books would be
noble failures … and that I would remain
a mostly ignored slightly cultured
writer,” he said. “Well, the books aren’t
noble, but they’re not failures either.”

This is a biweekly series about art
and artists in the region. Pittsburgh
Filmmakers/Pittsburgh Center
for the Arts serves the community
through arts education, exhibitions
and artist resources.
Robots are regularly depicted
in movies and on television as the
friends we wish we had.
R2D2, The Iron Giant, even
Optimus Prime, are just a few of
the robotic characters who exude
loyalty, friendship, leadership and
even charm.
As a youngster, Pittsburgh artist
Don Jones was inspired by science
fiction and enjoyed making spaceships, rockets and robots. “My alltime favorite robot is still B9 from
‘Lost in Space,’” he says about the
1960s television series.
His father introduced him to gas
arc welding, brazing, wood working, construction and shop principles, he says, before he was 10 years
old. “I’ve always enjoyed creating
art and sculptures.”
For more information:
www.pittsburgharts.org or
www.pghfilmmakers.org
As an adult Mr. Jones worked
in advertising and as an art director. But in 1998 he decided to devote
himself to his art and began making commissioned robots.
His whimsical robot sculptures
— featured in The Holiday Shop at
Pittsburgh Center for the Arts — are
made from scrap and reused materials. This includes a robot snowman
on sleds, a jolly automaton with an
empty cookie tin body, a dog made
from binoculars and a camera. It’s
just the kind of scrap the
Wall-E might’ve used
to create gadgets in the
popular Pixar futuristic
movie.
About four years ago
Mr. Jones began making
robots with more personality to sell to individuals. “The reaction has
been great. From kids to
adults, they all smile or
start laughing,” he says.
Many admirers just
want to figure out what
they are made from. “I
really enjoy the interaction,” Mr. Jones says.
To learn more about his
art, visit www.jonesroboworks.com.
Pittsburgh Center for
the Arts is expanding
its Holiday Shop to fill
the gallery’s first floor.
Besides Mr. Jones’ robot
sculptures, the shop
also offers handcrafted
gifts from more than 200
regional artists. A free
opening reception with
refreshments will be
held 5:30 p.m. Friday to
commemorate the start
of the holiday season. For

expanded holiday hours:

Elmo puppeteer accused of underage relationship
By Frazier Moore
Associated Press
NEW YORK — The puppeteer
who performs as Elmo on “Sesame Street” is taking a leave of
absence from the popular kids’
show in the wake of allegations
that he had a relationship with a
16-year-old boy.
Sesame Workshop said puppeteer Kevin Clash denies the
charges, which were first made
in June by the alleged partner,
who by then was 23.
“We took the allegation very
seriously and took immediate
action,” Sesame Workshop said
in a statement issued Monday.
“We met with the accuser twice
and had repeated communications with him. We met with
Kevin, who denied the accusation.”
The organization described
the relationship as personal
and “unrelated to the workplace.” Its investigation found
the allegation of underage conduct to be unsubstantiated.
But it said Mr. Clash exercised
“poor judgment” and was disciplined for violating company
policy regarding Internet
usage. It offered no details.
“I had a relationship with
the accuser,” Mr. Clash said in
a statement of his own. “It was
between two consenting adults
and I am deeply saddened that
he is trying to characterize it
as something other than what it
was.”
Sex with a person under 17
is a felony in New York if the
perpetrator is at least 21. It was
unclear where the relationship took place, and there is no
record of any criminal charge
against Mr. Clash in the state.
Mr. Clash, the 52-year-old
divorced father of a grown
daughter, added, “I am a gay
man. I have never been ashamed
of this or tried to hide it, but felt
it was a personal and private

Debbie Rosenberg, who

to East to give up on the

East quite reasonably shifted to the spade nine. West

and played a third spade.
Rosenberg ruffed in dummy

a chance, since the defense
no longer had any communication in the club suit.
However, the winning path
is by no means obvious. But,

CRYPTOQUIP
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Do a good deed, as it really is
true that actions speak louder
than words. Feedback from others may vary from positive to
negative, so remain guided by
only the highest principles.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
Ignore intuitions and nagging
doubts. Remain observant, as
the new moon can indicate a
favorable fresh start in key relationships. There is a reason
people say that you should walk
it like you talk it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Good things come to those
who wait. An important, pending decision may be causing
stress. Remain patient. You will
find that if your objectives are
worthy, the wait will be worth it.
CANCER (June 21-July 22):
Your attention shifts with the
new moon. Use your superb
business know-how to handle
finances with finesse. Embrace
Workshop indicated how long
his absence might be.
“Elmo is bigger than any
one person and will continue to
be an integral part of ‘Sesame
Street’ to engage, educate and
inspire children around the
world, as it has for 40 years,”
Sesame Workshop said in its
statement.
“Sesame Street” is currently
in production, but other puppeteers are prepared to fill in for
Mr. Clash during his absence,
according to a person close to
the show who spoke on condition of anonymity because that
person was not authorized to
publicly discuss details about
the show’s production.
“Elmo will still be a part of
the shows being produced,” that
person said.
In addition to his role as
Elmo, Mr. Clash also serves as
the show’s senior Muppet coordinator and Muppet captain.
He has won 23 daytime Emmy

big dreams, but never forget
about support, loyalty and commitment.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be a
dream believer. This week, your
subconscious may provide worthy advice regarding a current
situation. Follow your intuition
and develop insights, as today’s
new moon emphasizes family
relationships.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22): Banish backseat drivers.
Meddling could create misunderstandings and add to turmoil.
Present others with complete
honesty in business deals; trying to gain an unfair advantage
will work against you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
This isn’t a great day to impress
people, make persuasive arguments or try to exert influence
over others. The potential for
misunderstandings is still rather
high, so pass up any heart-toheart talks.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
It is time to forgive, forget and
move on. Powerful ambitions
can be realized if you hook up
with the right person. You may
meet someone who is both a
mover and shaker. Let bygones
be bygones.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): Success usually comes
to those who are too busy to
look for it. Family responsibilities might briefly prevent you
from concentrating on career or
a crucial workload. Get back in
step tomorrow.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Speed up the assembly
line and increase your productivity. You are at the top of your
game and are able to double
your workload with ease. Make
snap decisions; your instincts
are finely tuned.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Go the extra mile to make
a good impression. Showing a
little gusto toward your work will
draw the notice and admiration
of superiors. Stay focused, as
what you create or build now
may be permanent.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): Mountains and molehills
certainly are not the same.
When someone says the
wrong thing or makes a silly
mistake, it is best to ignore it.
Try being the diplomatic king of
your group.
IF NOVEMBER 13 IS
YOUR BIRTHDAY: You may be
inspired by your friends to reach
more ambitious goals in the job,
career or financial areas during
the next eight to 10 weeks.
If you are single, a romantic
relationship might quicken your
heartbeat in April.

Mr. Clash has been a puppeteer for “Sesame Street” since
1984. It was then that he was
handed the fuzzy red puppet
and asked to come up with a
voice for him. Mr. Clash transformed the character, which had
been a marginal member of the
Muppets gang for a number of
years, into a major star rivaling
Big Bird as the face of “Sesame
Street.”
Among children and adults
alike, Elmo was quickly
embraced as a frolicsome child
with a high-pitched giggle and a
tendency to speak of himself in
the third person.
“I would love to be totally like
Elmo,” Mr. Clash said in a 1997
interview with The Associated
Press. “He is playful and direct
and positive.”

NEARLY PICKED OFF: TIMMONS’ OT
INTERCEPTION HELPS AVOID UPSET
Shaky victory
comes with a
price as Big Ben
taken off with a
shoulder injury
that puts him in
doubt next week
By Ed Bouchette
Steelers Mike Wallace makes a catch for a touchdown while falling to the ground against the Chiefs in the second quarter Monday at Heinz Field.
I
No Big Ben? Big problems
t’s hard to imagine a
more frightening sight
at Heinz Field than
Steelers quarterback
Ben Roethlisberger being
led to the locker room by
the team’s medical personnel, holding his right arm
close to his body, clearly in
distress.
It happened Monday
night early in the third
quarter of the game against
the Kansas City Chiefs.
Suddenly, the outcome
didn’t seem important. It’s
nice to report the Steelers
went on to win, 16-13, in
overtime behind backup
quarterback Byron Leftwich on a night when their
miserable play matched
the miserable weather.
But it doesn’t change the
RON
COOK
fact their season is in jeopardy because of what the
team described as a right
shoulder injury for Roethlisberger, the severity of
which wasn’t disclosed by
coach Mike Tomlin after
the game.
But it did not look good.
The timing couldn’t be
worse.
The Baltimore Ravens
come to town Sunday night.
And, to think, a lot of people feared Roethlisberger
would miss the Ravens
game because of the birth
of his first child, who is due
this month.
“I hope Ben is healthy,”
Leftwich said. “If not, I’ve
got to be ready to go. I’ll be
in watching film tomorrow.
It’s a great opportunity if I
get to play, but it’s not about
that. I must do my job. We
got big things on our mind
here. We’re here preparing
to win a Super Bowl.”
Asked if he thought
the Steelers could win the

The Steelers did not
know the seriousness of
the injury to quarterback
Ben Roethlisberger’s right
shoulder as they were
leaving Heinz Field Monday night, but they knew
one thing — they had just
avoided what would have
been an embarrassing
upset to another bad AFC
team.
Linebacker Lawrence
Timmons capped one of his
best games of the season by
intercepting Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel on the
second play of overtime to
set up a Shaun Suisham
23-yard field goal to win it,
16-13.
“We’ll take it and we
won’t apologize for it
either,” Steelers coach
Mike Tomlin said after
the defense allowed yet
another fourth-quarter
lead to evaporate and then
saved the day in overtime.
“Words can’t describe
that,” Timmons said after
he intercepted Cassel’s
pass on the second play of
overtime and returned it
23 yards to the 5. “I got butterflies.”
Suisham came on immediately to end the game and
save the Steelers, 12½-point
favorites, from a monumental upset to the Chiefs, who
managed their first lead in
regulation this season but
still sunk to 1-8.
The Steelers’ fourth
consecutive victory raised
their record to 6-3 as they
prepare for a showdown
Sunday night against
their archrival Baltimore
Ravens, who are in first
place at 7-2 in the AFC
North Division.
“As soon as that field
goal goes through there,
it’s Baltimore time,” linebacker Larry Foote said.
But
Roethlisberger
might not be able to play.
He left early in the third
quarter with a right shoulder injury. He went to the
hospital for a MRI. The
Steelers sounded ready to
play without him.
“It’s why they have me
here,” said backup Byron
Leftwich, who guided the
Steelers to a fourth-quarter
Suisham field goal that put
them ahead for the first
time in the game, 13-10.

hurt with 13:40 to go in the
third quarter when he was

GAME BALL

goes to: ILB Lawrence Timmons
The Steelers came into the game with the league’s No.
1 pass defense after holding Andy Dalton, Robert Griffin
III and Eli Manning to a combined 402 yards in the previous three games. And they were doing much the same
to Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel, who had only seven
completions for 92 yards late in the fourth quarter. But
Cassel came to life on the final possession, completing
four passes for 62 yards to set up a 46-yard field goal
with no time remaining to force overtime. “We didn’t do
enough to play good football,” coach Mike Tomlin said.
“We did do enough to win.”
It might have been the best game of the season for Timmons, even before his interception
and 23-yard return in overtime that set up the
winning field goal. Timmons had seven tackles,
one quarterback hurry and two passes defended. But he saved
the Steelers from another embarrassing defeat when he picked
off a Matt Cassel pass on the second play of overtime and returned it 23 yards to the Chiefs 5. “We knew it was huge because
our quarterback went out and we knew it would be on the defense,” Timmons said.

THE COUNTDOWN
1
A quick look at the top performances from Monday’s game:
DEJA VU: It looked as if the Steelers might be on the wrong end of another debatable call when quarterback Byron Leftwich tried to
stop his throwing motion and had a fumble returned 21 yards for a touchdown by outside linebacker Justin Houston — a play similar to the one last week by Ben Roethlisberger against the New York Giants. The touchdown would have given the Chiefs a 17-10
lead. But the officials reversed the call after a replay review, saying Leftwich’s arm came forward, making it an incomplete pass.

3
BOWE THROW: Facing
fourth-and-15 with 22
seconds remaining,
Matt Cassel hit wide receiver
Dwayne Bowe over the middle
for a 27-yard gain to the Steelers 28. After a quick spike,
Ryan Succop kicked a 46-yard
FG with no time remaining to
force overtime.
GOOD BREAK II: The
Chiefs had two touchdowns taken away, the
first when Bowe scored on a
22-yard catch and run on the
first possession of the third to
make it 17-10. But the play was
negated by a penalty, a call
that proved large when Succop
missed a 33-yard field goal.
WHAT WAS HE
THINKING?
Receiver Mike Wallace made one of
the great catches of the year on his
7-yard touchdown that tied the score,
10-10. Wallace used his right hand to
pull in Roethlisberger’s soft pass in
the right corner of the end zone, then
used both knees to squeeze the ball
when it slipped from his hand. Wallace rolled over possessing the ball
and a review upheld the call. “I just
tried to make a play on it,” said Wallace. “I got lucky.”

BEARDED WONDER:
Defensive end Brett Keisel did something the
Steelers rarely get from their
defensive linemen — disruptive plays. He had both sacks

Win comes at a steep price
COOK, FROM PAGE D-1
Jim Bradley. Suddenly, everything seemed wrong. Roethlisberger isn’t just the Steelers’
Most Valuable Player. He had
played so well this season that
his name had been mentioned in
NFL MVP discussions. Late in
the second quarter, he threw a
perfect lob pass to wide receiver
Mike Wallace for a 7-yard touchdown that pulled the Steelers
into a 10-10 tie. It was Roethlisberger’s 17th touchdown pass of
the season. He has been intercepted just four times.
Bradley came back out to the
field.
Roethlisberger never did,
going to a local hospital for an
MRI.
It’s a real stretch to think the
Steelers can beat the Ravens
without Roethlisberger. It’s just
as much of a stretch to think
they can outlast the Ravens and
win the AFC North Division if
he is out for a significant period
of time.
Predictably, Leftwich had
problems when he entered the
game. He missed all of last
season after breaking his left
arm in the exhibition season.
He played in just one game late
in the 2010 season after injuring his knee in the exhibition
season.
Leftwich’s inactivity showed.
The Chiefs helped the Steelers immensely on the field goal
drive that gave the Steelers a
13-10 lead. A pass interference
penalty on cornerback Javier
Arenas and a roughing the
passer call on Hali — both on
third down — kept the drive
going. Earlier, Leftwich did
complete a 31-yard pass to wide
receiver Emmanuel Sanders on
a third-and-9 play. Somehow,
the Steelers got in position to
get a 31-yard field goal by Shaun
Suisham with 12:37 left in the
game.
The kick looked as if it would
hold up for a couple of reasons.
One, the Chiefs, now 1-8, are a
lousy team. And two, Leftwich
completed a 22-yard pass to wide
receiver Jerricho Cotchery on
third-and-7 from the Steelers 11
with little more than 3 minutes
left.
But the Steelers defense
couldn’t protect the lead. Chiefs
kicker Ryan Succop tied the
score, 13-13, at the end of regulation after an eight-play, 52-yard
drive.
Fortunately for the Steelers, the defense made up for it.
An interception by linebacker
Lawrence Timmons set up
Suisham’s winning 23-yard field
goal.
Leftwich, who wasn’t needed
REPORT
CARD
in the overtime period, finished
7 of 14 for 73 yards.
The Steelers traded for Leftwich on draft weekend in 2010
for just this sort of emergency.
He was supposed to start for
Roethlisberger when Roethlisberger was suspended for
the first four games of the ’10
season. Leftwich’s knee injury
ended those plans. The broken
arm kept him from being Roethlisberger’s backup last season.
Leftwich finally got his
chance Monday night. He was
just good enough. But it’s clear,
isn’t it? He has to be so much
better for the Steelers to succeed
in the games ahead if Roethlisberger’s injury is serious.

The Steelers finished with
95 yards on 29 attempts,
averaging just 3.3 yards per

losses. But Timmons’ big play in overtime got everyone off the

STEELERS NOTEBOOK
Roethlisberger’s
status unknown
for Ravens game
By Paul Zeise
and Jerry Micco
The Steelers’ 16-13 victory
against the Kansas City Chiefs
Monday night at Heinz Field
might have been a costly as
quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was injured in the third
quarter and taken to a hospital
to be evaluated for a right shoulder injury.
Roethlisberger was sacked
by Justin Houston and it
appeared he took the crown of a
helmet into his shoulder.
“We don’t know the status of
that as we sit here right now,”
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin
said. “When I get information,
you’ll get it.”
Roethlisberger was replaced
by Byron Leftwich, who finished the game and might have
to play Sunday night against
the Baltimore Ravens. If that’s
the case, his teammates say the
offense is still in good hands.
“Anytime our quarterback
goes down you worry about it,”
receiver Mike Wallace said.
“But we have some guys who
are capable of stepping in. Ben
is one of the best in the game
and anytime you lose a guy who
is one of the best at any position it hurts you, but we have
[Leftwich]and he is capable of
running this team.”
The Steelers also might have
lost Ryan Clark, who was
knocked out of the game and
had to be evaluated for a possible concussion.
Rookie released
The Steelers released rookie
defensive lineman Alameda
Ta’amu Monday to make room
to sign wide receiver David Gilreath from the practice squad.
Ta’amu, a fourth-round draft
pick from the University of
Washington, was charged with
aggravated assault, aggravated
assault by vehicle while driving
under the influence and fleeing an officer after an off-duty
officer first spotted him driving the wrong way on Fort Pitt
Boulevard and then heading
over the Smithfield Bridge to
the South Side Oct. 14.
Three officers on foot
attempted to stop him as he continued to drive erratically down
East Carson Street, nearly striking them as they drew their
guns and yelled for him to stop.
His SUV struck four parked
vehicles, injuring a woman who
was sitting in one of them, and
finally crashed into a Honda
Civic.
It took four officers and two
sets of handcuffs to restrain
the 6-foot-3, 348-pound defensive lineman, who had a blood
alcohol level of 0.196, more than
double the legal limit, according
to a police complaint.
He also is charged with leaving the scene of an accident, DUI
and escape, all misdemeanors,
in addition to several summary
driving offenses.
The Steelers signed Gilreath,
a rookie from Wisconsin, to the
53-man roster to add an extra
receiver with Antonio Brown
out with an ankle injury.
If Ta’amu clears waivers, he
could be re-signed to the practice squad.
First lead
The Chiefs scored a touchdown on their second drive of
the game — a 12-yard run by
Jamaal Charles that gave
them a 7-0 lead with 8:37 remaining in the first quarter.
It marked the first time this
season the Chiefs have led in
regulation this season.
That was a span of 33 quarters of regulation football that
the Chiefs played without a
lead.
The previous time they held
a lead in regulation was in the
season finale last year, a 7-3 win
against Denver.
Big mistake
Chiefs quarterback Matt
Cassel had the key turnover
in overtime when his pass was
intercepted by Steelers linebacker Lawrence Timmons
deep in his territory. The play
led to the winning 23-yard field
goal by Shaun Suisham one
play later.
“One of their defensive linemen deflected it,” Cassel said.
“He hit it and it went a direction
we didn’t want it to go.”
That was to Timmons, who
rumbled 16 yards to the Chiefs
5. The Steelers then tried the
winning kick on first down.
“I think [Cassel] thought
the linebacker [Timmons] was
rushing, but he dropped back,”
Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel
said. “He made a good play and
jumped up to get the ball.”
Colon’s daily double
Willie Colon had a tough
sequence in the first quarter
and it led to the Chiefs’ second
score of the game, a 22-yard field
goal by Ryan Succop.
TheSteelershadafirst-and-10
at their 28 when Isaac Redman
ran off left tackle for what would
have been an 8-yard gain.
Colon, however, was penalized for holding, which would
have been a 10-yard penalty, but
he apparently objected to the
call and said something inflammatory to the officials and was
penalized for unsportsmanlike
conduct.
The second penalty was
enforced as half the distance
to the goal line and that left the
Steelers with a first-and-29 at
the 9. One play later Redman
fumbled and the Chiefs recovered at the 10.
Colon redeemed himself
a little bit, however, on the
next drive when he recovered
a fumble by tight end Heath
Miller, prolonging what turned
out to be a field goal drive and
the Steelers’ first points of the
game.
Inactive players
The Steelers had the following players inactive: Charlie
Batch, DeMarcus Van Dyke,
Rashard Mendenhall, Troy
Polamalu, Sylvester Stevenson, Marcus Gilbert and
Antonio Brown.
As a result Mike Adams
started at right tackle (in place
of Gilbert), Redman started
at running back, Emmanuel Sanders started at wide
receiver and Will Allen started
at safety.
The Chiefs inactive players were Brady Quinn, Steve
Breaston, Tysyn Hartman,
Cyrus Gray, Bryan Kehl,
Bryan Mattison and Jerrell
Powe.

shoulder.
Roethlisberger was 9 of 18 for
84 yards and one touchdown to
that point.
With Leftwich at the controls, the Steelers picked up two
big third downs — two thanks
to Kansas City penalties — on
the way to a 73-yard drive that
ended with Suisham’s 31-yard
field goal.
It gave the Steelers their first
lead of the game with 12:37 to
go.
The Steelers and Kansas City
ended regulation tied, 13-13,
when Chiefs kicker Ryan Succop, who missed one earlier
from 33 yards, kicked a 46-yard
field goal with no time left to
send the game into overtime.
Kansas City, with no time
outs, drove 52 yards in the final
1:51 to tie it. Cassel completed a
27-yard pass to Dwayne Bowe on
fourth down to the Steelers 28.
The Chiefs hustled up to the
line of scrimmage and Cassel
spiked the ball with two seconds left to stop the clock. Succop then kicked his second field
goal of the game.
The Steelers defense gave up
fourth-quarter leads in three
previous losses this season,
including to two losing teams,
the Oakland Raiders and Tennessee Titans on the road.
They did manage to win their
15th consecutive Monday night
home game, but it might have
been their most difficult in that
21-year stretch.
The Chiefs, who entered the
game at near NFL-record pace
with 29 turnovers, had none
Monday night until Timmons’
interception. The Steelers had
one turnover.
Kansas City running back
Jamaal Charles rushed for 100
yards and a touchdown in a
game in which Cassel was typically bad — he was 11 of 26 for
154 yards, two Brett Keisel sacks
and the one huge interception
by Timmons.
The Steelers were not as productive on the ground after a
good three-game run. Isaac Redman started but lost a fumble in
the first quarter and finished
with just eight carries. Jonathan Dwyer carried 19 times for
56 yards and the Steelers
Leftwich went 7 of 14 for 73
yards passing in the game.
The Steelers got two breaks
in the third quarter as Kansas
City had two touchdowns nullified, one by a penalty and one
by video review, and missed a
33-yard field goal.
Leftwich entered for the first
time this season and, on his
third play, dropped the ball as
his arm moved forward. As they
did with Roethlisberger a week
ago, the officials on the field let
it stand as a fumble and Houston
returned it 21 yards for a touchdown, which was overturned
by video review and called an
incomplete pass.
The Steelers erased a 10-0
Chiefs lead to tie it by halftime,
10-10.
Mike Wallace, who dropped
what would have been a 44-yard
touchdown reception five plays
earlier, made a spectacular
catch of a 7-yard pass in the
Punter Drew Butler congratulates Shaun Suisham for his winning field goal in overtime Monday

right corner of the end zone for
a touchdown that gave the Steelers a tie and brought them back
from 10 points back.
On first down, Wallace
hauled in Roethlisberger’s pass
with his right hand behind
cornerback Brandon Flowers.
As he fell to the turf, the ball
wedged between his knees as he
rolled out of bounds. The play
was reviewed and the call stood
as a touchdown.
“You don’t script that,” Wallace said. “You just have to roll
with it.”
Kansas City, which took its
first lead of the season in regu-
lation at 7-0 in the first quarter,
stretched it to 10-0 early in the
second quarter after Redman
fumbled at his 10 and Succop
kicked a 22-yard field goal.
Suisham ended the next
drive with his first field goal of
the game, from 35 yards, after a
43-yard drive fizzled at the Kansas City 17.
It was 10-3 Kansas City with
9:02 left in the first half.
Earlier, Kansas City’s second drive of the game produced
the Chiefs’ first lead in regulation this season (their only win
came against the New Orleans
Saints in overtime).

Roethlisberger injured;
Steelers avoid big upset
Outgoing president Mike
Holmgren still hasn’t decided
if he wants to coach again.
Hoping to squelch a weekend
report that he would be interested in a coaching job with
the Dallas Cowboys if Jason
Garrett gets fired, Holmgren
said he would never float a
story about any interest in
replacing another coach and “I
haven’t talked to a single soul”
in Dallas.
49ers
Quarterback Alex Smith
threw a 14-yard touchdown
pass in the second quarter Sunday of a tie against the Rams
while playing with blurred
vision before coming out with
a concussion. Coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that Smith
connected with Michael Crabtree six plays after he began
experiencing blurred vision
on a 1-yard keeper early in the
second quarter. Earlier, he had
taken a vicious hit from linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar.
Buccaneers
Coach Greg Schiano said
linebacker Quincy Black is
expected to recover from a
neck injury but is experiencing complications with his left
arm. Black was carted off the
field Sunday after making a
tackle on Chargers running
back Ryan Mathews.
Packers
Green Bay have lost another
player despite having the weekend off, placing offensive tackle
Bryan Bulaga on the injured
reserve with an injured hip.
Panthers
Coach Ron Rivera said he
has fired special teams coordinator Brian Murphy after
the team gave up a 76-yard
punt return for a touchdown
to Trindon Holliday in a loss
Sunday to the Denver Broncos. Rivera promoted assistant
special teams coach Richard
Rodgers to coordinator.
Elsewhere
Yahoo Sports apologized for
a site outage Sunday that left
thousands of fantasy football
players complaining of lastminute lineup problems and
possible lost money.
It took them only four plays to
cover 70 yards with Charles running the final 12 up the middle
past Ziggy Hood and Will Allen
for the score and a 7-0 lead.
“We didn’t perform very
well,” Tomlin said.
“We accept responsibility for
that. We’re not going to make
excuses. … We did do enough to
win, though.”

NHL LOCKOUT
Crosby’s
patience
waning
slowly
Back to
drawing
board for
Panthers
Playing overseas
still an option
Pitt still learning
after poor start
against Huskies
By Shelly Anderson
Sidney Crosby sees a pattern in collective bargaining
between the NHL and the
NHL Players’ Association,
and it’s not one he likes.
“It’s pretty one-sided,” the
Penguins center and captain
said Monday after practicing with eight teammates at
Southpointe. “I don’t really
know what [the league owners] have given up, up to this
point.”
With the lockout stretching into a ninth week and
no end in sight — as of
Monday evening, no formal talks were scheduled
after the sides met Tuesday
through Friday and Sunday
— Crosby is getting worn
down emotionally by the
situation.
“It’s just frustrating,”
he said. “You kind of hear
the same things coming
out of the meetings all the
time. Just waiting to hear
something new from their
side. It’s almost to the point
where you don’t want to ask
because you know you’re
going to get the same answer
you got a week before.
“There’s no reason we
can’t figure something out.
I really want to be optimistic. It’s not easy right now.
It’s just a roller coaster … I
don’t know what’s going to
happen.”
Crosby reiterated that the
longer the lockout lasts, the
more likely he is to pursue
signing with a European
club.
He said his agent, Pat
Brisson, has a handle on feasible offers, although the two
have not conferred on those.
In addition, costly insurance
against at least some of Crosby’s 12-year, $104 million
contract set to kick in next
season could be a stumbling
block.
Top executives from the
league and the union were in
Toronto for the annual Hall
of Fame induction ceremony
Monday, and it’s possible
a new bargaining session
could stem from informal
contact there.
Steve Fehr, special counsel
to the NHLPA, said during a
conference in Toronto that
the three big issues remain
the split of revenue between
the league and the players,
player contract rules and
how to handle a shortened
season. The league has canceled the schedule through
the end of this month.
He said what is lacking is
a breakthrough moment.
“One thing [NHL deputy
commissioner] Bill Daly
and I agree on: When the
moment is right, a deal will
be done very quickly,” Fehr
said, adding that while the
union is open to bringing
in a moderator, “My impression is the league isn’t terribly interested in it.”
When the sides could not
make much headway on core
economic issues last week,
they turned to player contract rights Sunday, but that
meeting lasted only about an
hour. The NHL apparently
is insisting on many of the
changes in contract rules it
included in an opening proposal during the summer.
Those include a longer
wait for unrestricted free
agency, shorter entry-level
contracts and caps on contract length and variation
in salary over the course of
a contract.
Those are more ownerfriendly than rules that were
adopted when the previous
collective bargaining agree-

DAY 59
By Sam Werner
It can be an overused
sports cliche, but for the
past two weeks “learning
how to win” has been the
reality for Pitt.
The 24-17 loss Friday to
Connecticut was Pitt’s second consecutive one-score
defeat, and third of the season.
“I think a

“Sometimes those
plays are in the first half,
sometimes they’re in the

they’re at the end, sometimes they’re in overtime.
What makes it tough is,
I feel like at times, we’re
learning from these things,
and sometimes we need
to go through it again to
learn.”
While Pitt’s triple overtime loss to Notre Dame
10 days ago came down to
a few plays at the end, the
Panthers lost Friday’s game
against the Huskies when
they fell behind, 24-0, in the
first half.
After the game, running
back Ray Graham and quarterback Tino Sunseri said
the team came out sluggish
and flat in the first half. On
Monday, Chryst took his
share of the responsibility,
but also noted that players
need to find some self-motivation.
“We’ve got to create a
culture of guys [who] are
appreciative and enjoy the
opportunity to play each
game and that starts with
me helping them get there,”
Chryst said. “You’ve got to
be ready. To take the game
for granted, or to not be
excited to play, we’ve got to
change that thinking.”

MOORE POWER,
MORE SUCCESS
Junior forward takes on new role, scores 20 to spark win
Today
By Ray Fittipaldo
Over the summer when J.J. Moore
was recuperating from foot surgery
that forced him to stay off the court,
coach Jamie Dixon had some heart-toheart conversations with his talented
junior about adding another position
to his resume. In convincing Moore to
embrace a move to power forward he
drew a comparison between Moore and
former Pitt star and current NBA player
Sam Young.
On Monday night, Moore did a fair
impersonation of Young in Pitt’s 86-51
victory against Fordham in the first
round of the Preseason NIT at Petersen
Events Center. The Panthers will play
Lehigh tonight for the right to advance
to the semifinal round of the tournament next week at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Moore, a 6-foot-6 junior, came off the
bench to lead the team with 20 points.
He showed off his inside and outside

the 3-point line to take advantage of his

Moore was 3 for 5 from 3-point range
and displayed a confidence that he had
not shown in his first two years in the
program.
“I told him in the offseason this is
where Sam had his breakout year,”
Dixon said. “And it’s this exact same

made to
new bowl
system
NHL, FROM PAGE D-6
The new college football postseason system will have six
games as originally planned,
but now a spot in the marquee
bowls will be reserved for the
best team from a group of five
conferences that includes the
Big East.
The tweak to the postseason
format that will start in 2014 was
made Monday during a meeting
of conference commissioners
and university presidents.
In September, a proposal was
put forth to add a seventh game
to the format that would match
the best team from the Big East,
Mountain West, Conference
USA, Sun Belt and Mid-American Conference against a team
from the Pac-12 or Big 12.
But ultimately that plan was
dumped, and instead a guaranteed spot was created to give
those conferences access to the
top games.
The national semifinals will
rotate through six bowl games,
setting up two playoff games and
four major bowl games every
season. The title game will be
bid out each year through a
separate process similar to the
Super Bowl.

Cardinals running back
Senorise Perry will miss the
remainder of the season with a
torn right anterior cruciate ligament. The No. 20 Cardinals’ top
rusher and Big East Conference
touchdowns leader was injured
in Saturday’s 45-26 loss at Syracuse.
Florida
Gators quarterback Jeff
Driskel is doubtful for Saturday’s game against Jacksonville State. Coach Will Muschamp said Jacoby Brissett
likely will start against the
Gamecocks. Driskel sprained
his right ankle in the third
quarter of Saturday’s game and
probably won’t practice this
week. He is wearing a protective walking boot.
Texas Tech
Tommy Tuberville took
full responsibility for losing his
cool with a Red Raiders graduate assistant along the sideline
Saturday. The third-year coach
said he had watched a replay
of his outburst after the 41-34
victory and saw what had fans
upset. He called his actions
“unfortunate” and said he had
apologized to Kevin Oliver,
who works with special teams.
Video of the confrontation went
viral on the Internet, showing
Tuberville angrily facing Oliver and appearing to strike him
after Texas Tech had difficulty
getting the right personnel on
the field. Tuberville said he did
not strike Oliver. He said he
reached and pulled on Oliver’s
headset.
Washington State
Cougars coach Mike Leach
denies his players are subjected
to any type of abuse, as alleged
by star receiver Marquess Wilson. Wilson made the allegations in a letter he released Saturday in which he quit the team
and also complained that the
coaching staff would “belittle,
intimidate and humiliate us.”
Leach said: “There is no truth
about it at all.” He described Wilson as a disgruntled player.

Defensive back D.J. Hayden
has checked out of the hospital,
six days after taking a hit in

afternoon. The team physician
has said the senior was taken

Wide receiver Ivan McCartney left West Virginia for personal reasons, the school said Monday.
WEST VIRGINIA
Another wide receiver
decides to leave team
By Jenn Menendez
Wide receiver Ivan McCartney left the West Virginia football team for personal reasons,
the university said Monday. He
is the second player to leave the
team in less than a week.
McCartney, a junior and
a high school teammate of
quarterback Geno Smith and
receiver Stedman Bailey at
Miramar High School in Miami,
Fla., did not make the trip with
the team for a game Saturday at
Oklahoma State.
His departure was made
official Monday when a short
statement was issued by the university. The statement also said
coach Dana Holgorsen would
have no further comment.
Freshman Travares Copeland, another wide receiver, left
the team last week for personal
reasons. Copeland was to be redshirted until coaches used him
in the second half of the Oct. 13
game against Texas Tech when
Bailey suffered an ankle injury.
Copeland started the next two
games but his departure was
announced Thursday.
The absence of both against
Oklahoma State meant littleused receivers Conor Arilia
and Ryan Nehlen were thrust
into the lineup.
Both had some key catches

against the Cowboys, including
Nehlen’s touchdown interception from backup quarterback
Paul Millard.
Millard entered the game for
one snap when Smith’s helmet
came off and he had to leave the
field.
McCartney had nine catches
for 112 yards this season.
The ‘big’ game
About an hour before McCartney’s departure was announced,
Holgorsen said on a Big 12 Conference coaches call that the
upcoming game against Oklahoma still is anticipated around
Morgantown.
Just a couple of months ago
it was billed as “the game” of
the season by many pundits
who expected the game to have
potential Big 12 championship
implications. A title and Bowl
Championships Series berth is
still within reach for the Sooners, but the Mountaineers’ fourgame losing streak has forced
the team to simply try to become
bowl-eligible.
“I think people are pretty
excited about it, they’ve had it
circled for a while, just because
Oklahoma is such a storied
program over the last hundred
years,” Holgorsen said.
He said his team is “fine” and
“still motivated.”
“Thought our effort last week
was good,” Holgorsen said. “It
better be. We’ve got a top-10 team
coming to Morgantown. It’ll be
on national TV and we’ve got to
play good.”
New defense
Oklahoma’s defense will pose
a new challenge for the Mountaineers, Holgorsen said.
“It’s a different approach than
what we’ve faced over the last
six or seven games. We’ve seen a
lot of zone coverage. A lot of drop
seven, drop six. These guys are
a man-coverage team,” he said.
“They’ve got tremendous athletes. They got big, thick guys up
front who do a great job against
the run. It’s going to be one-onone matchups all over the place.
We’ve got to do a good job of winning those.
“I’m kind of excited about it
actually. We haven’t faced really
anything different for quite
some time. This is a different
style. [Oklahoma defensive coordinator] Mike Stoops is a great
defensive football coach.”
Turnovers not an issue for Pitt

to get healthy. Chryst was optimistic that tight end Hubie
Graham and safety Jason
Hendricks, both of whom left
the game against Connecticut,
will be ready to go when the
team returns to action.
Ball control
Despite the uneven results
on the scoreboard, Pitt has
been remarkably consistent
with its ball security this season.
The game against Connecticut was its fifth consecutive
contest without a turnover.
Their last giveaway came
Oct. 5, when tight end Drew
Carswell lost a fumble against
Syracuse.
It was also Sunseri’s seventh
game in a row without throwing an interception.
He hasn’t thrown an interception since Pitt’s win Sept. 15
against Virginia Tech, and has
just two this season.
Pitt ranks No. 18 in Division
I-A with a plus-8 turnover margin.
Pitt-Rutgers TV
ESPN announced Monday
that Pitt’s game against Rutgers Nov. 24 will kick off at
noon and be televised on either
ESPN or ESPN2.
The network will decide late
Saturday which outlet will air
the game.
It will be Pitt’s third noon
home kickoff of the season.

Sto-Rox grad transfers to RMU
Paul Jones’ football journey has been a roundabout one recently, but, for the time being, it looks as if it will feature a return to
Pittsburgh.
Jones, a former Sto-Rox High School standout who left the Penn State football team in late
September, tweeted Monday that he will transfer
to and continue his career at Robert Morris.
“I’ll be going to school at Robert Morris University and will be playing football there,” Jones
tweeted from his personal account.
Because of NCAA rules, the school could not
confirm that Jones would be joining the team,
but athletic department officials said that the
Paul Jones
team is “actively recruiting him.”
Ranked among the top-10 quarterback prospects nationally by Scout and Rivals coming out of Sto-Rox, Jones
was a backup quarterback for the Nittany Lions before being
moved to tight end by first-year coach Bill O’Brien. Jones left the
team after its fourth game of the season.
Since Robert Morris is a Division I-AA school, Jones will be eligible for the Colonials in the 2013 season.
—By Craig Meyer
ment was crafted after a lockout that wiped out the 2004-05
season, and many players
have said they deserved those
rules as a concession for taking a 24 percent salary cut and
agreeing to a salary cap.
Now the NHLPA is loath to
give up contract rights on top
of agreeing to drop its share of
league revenues from 57 percent under the previous CBA
to 50 percent.
“They’re trying to take
away all the contracting
rights,” Crosby said. “The
question I’d ask is why would
we change that? I think we all
think it’s the most competitive
league in the world, so why
would you go and change that
— the way contracts go and
the way teams can operate? If
it’s not broke, don’t fix it.
“I understand their point.
At the end of the day, it’s dollars, but at the end of the day,
you want to get a deal done. I
don’t think they’re going to get
a deal done if they’re trying to
take away guys’ contracting
rights.”
Crosby has consistently
faulted the owners for not
being willing to budge while
the players are.
“When it comes down to it,
both sides have to be willing to
sacrifice a bit,” he said in September while in New York for
a large union meeting. “I feel
like our side is doing a little
bit of that, and it doesn’t seem
like they’re really willing to
do that.”
In mid-October, Crosby
attended a Toronto negotiating session in which the NHL
quickly rejected three NHLPA
counter offers, leading to a
break of almost three weeks
between formal talks. Crosby’s frustration was unmistakable.
“That doesn’t seem like a
group willing to negotiate,” he
said then.
His feelings on that haven’t
changed.
Crosby’s dismay only grew
over the weekend when there
were reports — but no direct
comments from the NHL —
that the league believed union
executive director Donald
Fehr was keeping players only
partly informed.
“That’s just tactics, I think,
on their part,” Crosby said.
“We’re pretty informed. If he
decided he didn’t want to [do
what we want], there are 15 or
20 other guys [who have been
at the talks] who would have
told us. I think if the league or
anyone negotiating really has
something to say, they should
say it in a meeting and not to a
reporter or a journalist.”
In fact, Crosby wonders if
the NHLPA has better information flow and representative ideas than the owners.
“On [union] conference
calls, it’s great,” he said.
“You’ve got guys who were in
the [latest] meeting. You’ve
got guys who are interested in
what’s going on. And whether
they’re on the conference call
or they’re talking to someone
who’s in the meeting, we have
our update every meeting. …
We all have the opportunity to
say what we want to say.
“That’s the unfortunate
thing as far as owners are
concerned — you have two or
three owners [at meetings].
Whether [they represent] the
feeling of 30, we don’t know.
At least with a large number
of players, you get a bigger
range of possibilities on what
they think. [On the other side]
you’re getting two opinions
from owners, and that’s about
it.”

NHL NOTEBOOK
Lockout takes away
from Hall inductions
TORONTO — There is
something missing from Joe
Sakic’s new plaque at the
Hockey Hall of Fame — and it’s
not because the printer made a
mistake.
Among the list of his many
achievements is no mention of
his 21st NHL season, the one
that was never played because
of the 2004-05 lockout. With
the sport back in another dark
period brought on by another
labor dispute, Sakic reflected
on the year that never was
on the day he took his place
among hockey’s greats.
“I lost a year of hockey,”
Sakic said Monday before the
induction ceremony. “It would
have been 21 years instead of
20. That’s what you lose.”
Fellow inductees Mats Sundin and Adam Oates were
also in the NHL when the last
lockout hit, while Pavel Bure,
the fourth member of the class,
was already retired.
Sundin never managed to
win a Stanley Cup in his career
and can’t help but wonder what
could have been had the ’04-05
season been played. His Maple
Leafs were on a run of six consecutive playoff appearances
before that work stoppage.
“It was awful,” said Sundin.
“I think it’s devastating.”
While all four of the inductees seem to have thoroughly
enjoyed their induction weekend, the current lockout made
it a more subdued affair than
usual. They were to have
been honored at Air Canada
Centre before a scheduled
Maple Leafs-Devils game Friday — a missed opportunity
in particular for Sundin, the
longtime Maple Leafs captain,
and Oates, who grew up in
Toronto.
Sundin is back living in his
native Sweden now, but the
impact of another work stop-
Hockey Hall of Fame
inductee Joe Sakic walks on
stage Monday in Toronto.
page hasn’t gone unnoticed
even from a distance.
“I think it’s huge,” he said.
“The National Hockey League
is kind of representing the
game of hockey. It’s the biggest
representative of the game of
hockey in the world. When the
NHL is not going, people lose
focus on hockey.
“For everybody that is
involved in the sport, it’s huge
to get the guys back playing as
soon as possible.”
Added Sakic: “It hurts the
players, it hurts the owners, it
hurts the fans and it hurts the
game.”
The two men at the center
of collective bargaining negotiations, commissioner Gary
Bettman and NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr,
both attended Monday night’s
ceremony.
Bettman referred to “difficult times” after paying tribute
to the inductees in a speech.
“All of us — fans, teams,
players — look forward to the
time the game returns,” said
Bettman.
All four members of this
year’s class were affected by
a labor disruption in their
careers — Bure was playing
for Vancouver during the lockout-shortened 1994-95 season.

Moore sparks Panthers
to victory vs. Fordham
PANTHERS, FROM PAGE D-6
really have that last year. We
really have something there
that we can cause some problems with. His confidence is
soaring because of it. It’s the
same thing we saw with Sam
in a lot of ways.
“He’s played really good
defense, too. That’s standing
out, too. He’s taking pride in
what he’s doing.”
Moore was one point shy
of getting his career high,
and Dixon took him out early
because the game was in control. He did all of his damage in
19 minutes.
Moore replaced starting
power forward Talib Zanna
midway through the first half
and was the spark the Panthers
needed. Holding a 12-11 lead,
the Panthers began to pull
away as soon as Moore entered
the game. He scored all 12 of
his first-half points in the final
13:18 of the half.
Moore’s second 3-pointer
stretched the lead to 33-18.
Then with 27 seconds remaining before halftime, Moore
made two free throws made it
37-18. With Moore leading the
way, Pitt outscored Fordham,
19-3, over the final 9:50 of the
half.
“I like my role coming off the
bench,” Moore said. “I feel like
I give my team a lot of energy
coming off the bench, giving
it on defense and making good
plays on defense. I think it’s
helping us on the court.”
The Panthers shot 53 percent
Pitt guard Johnson to transfer
Pitt sophomore reserve guard John Johnson left Pitt and is
going to transfer to another school.
Johnson, who started two games last season and averaged
4.2 points per game, did not show up for practice Monday
morning before a game against Fordham at Petersen Events
Center. Johnson apparently was upset by not playing in the
opener Friday against Mount St. Mary’s.
Pitt coach Jamie Dixon said after the game that Johnson was
sick and that was the reason he did not play. Johnson tweeted
shortly thereafter: “I’m not sick, I’m not hurt.”
Johnson watched as a freshman James Robinson earned
a starting position in front of him, alongside Tray Woodall in
the backcourt. Robinson played 26 minutes against Mount St.
Mary’s.
But Dixon was not down on Johnson. Dixon praised Johnson after the final exhibition game and was excited about his
future: “John has made tremendous strides over the last 10
days,” Dixon said after the Hawaii-Hilo exhibition contest. “It’s
tremendous strides. I don’t think anyone thought he’d be where
he is point-guard wise. But he’s doing a great job, working hard
and playing hard.”
Dixon did not seem concerned about having three point
guards and appeared dedicated to finding a role for Johnson.
“I’m real excited about them,” he said about the situation. “I really feel like we have three really good point guards at this point.”

from the field and had 24 assists
and only six turnovers. Dixon
also received strong efforts
from several others. Freshman center Steven Adams had
13 points and five rebounds.
Senior guard Tray Woodall
had 12 points and five assists.
Adams set the tone inside
with eight points in the
first half. The Panthers outrebounded Fordham, 36-24.
They had 16 offensive rebounds,
42 points in the lane and 21 second-chance points.
“That was a whooping in the
paint,” Fordham coach Tom
Pecora said.
The Panthers also forced
Fordham into 19 turnovers and
held the Rams to 36 percent
shooting. In the first half, Fordham shot 26 percent. Senior forward Chris Gaston, who had 19
points and 14 rebounds in Fordham’s opener, was held to four

“I told my team it was like

having the older guys beat you
up pretty good,” Pecora said.
“They are a very good basketball team.”

Lehigh players in double figures. Forward Mike McFadden led the Colonials with 13
points and 13 rebounds. His
frontcourt mate, forward
Vaughn Morgan, added 12
points, 5 rebounds and 5
blocks.
The Colonials were competitive for the early part of
the first half, leading 8-7 five
minutes into the game. From
there, the Mountain Hawks
(1-1) closed the half on a 31-15
run. In the final 11 minutes
of the first half, Robert Morris made just four field goals,
a span in which Lehigh took
control of the game.
“It just deflates you a
little bit,” Toole said of the
final stretch of the first half.
“We’ve got to be smarter in
those situations to make sure
we’re getting the shot that we
want and not allowing them
to get an easy shot on the
other end.”
Robert Morris also was
undone by turnovers, giving
the ball away 21 times. The
Mountain Hawks scored 25
points off those turnovers.

game tonight. Fordham lost
to Pitt in the opener.
But even though his team
ended Monday night with the
same result it achieved Friday, Toole believes the Colonials might have returned to
form.
“This is going to be one of
the most bizarre statements
ever — we lost by 29 points,
but I think I got my team back
tonight,” Toole said.
“I’ve talked about fighting
success. As much as you beat

Cody Zeller and his teammates were not themselves Monday night.
The 7-foot center had an
excuse — he was sick. His teammates looked like they caught
the same bug.
Fortunately, the Hoosiers
found a remedy at halftime.
Zeller, Remy Abell and Jeremy Hollowell turned the game
with a second-half run that
finally allowed No. 1 Indiana
to pull away to an 87-61 victory
against visiting North Dakota
State in the first round of the
Progressive Legends Classic.
“Your fundamentals, your
technique, all your experiences,
all those things are really, really
important, but there’s nothing
bigger than energy and toughness. It’s got to be there constantly,” Indiana coach Tom
Crean said.
This was the kind of game
that had given Indiana problems in previous seasons. Fans,
and perhaps Indiana’s players,
figured those struggles were
over since the Hoosiers (2-0)
reclaimed their spot on top of
the college basketball world.
But North Dakota State
proved how dangerous assumptions can be. The Bison (1-1) were
content to challenge every shot
Indiana shot took — regardless
of the cost. It took a toll, too.
Zeller scored 22 points and
grabbed nine rebounds, while
Abell, a sophomore, made
all five of his shots including
three 3-pointers to finish with a
career-high 14 points. Hollowell,
a freshman, scored 14 points in
19 minutes.
“We had some fight in us,
but we expect to have fight in
us,” Bison coach Saul Phillips
said. “It’s amazing to me, they
just kept coming at us in waves.
Eventually, they leaned at us
and a leg went out.”

MLB NOTEBOOK
Trout, Harper earn top rookie honors
Mike Trout and Bryce
Harper were teammates on the
Scottsdale Scorpions last fall. The
outfielders arrived in the major
leagues on the same April day
this year, both played in the AllStar Game and they won rookie
of the year awards a half-hour
apart Monday, the vanguard of
baseball’s next generation.
Trout, 21, was a unanimous
pick as the youngest American League rookie winner, and
Harper, 20, edged Arizona pitcher
Wade Miley, 112-105, to become
the second-youngest winner of
the National League honor.
“It’s pretty neat,” said Trout,
the son of former Minnesota
minor leaguer Jeff Trout.
For the first time, players
learned the voting results when
they were announced on television.

Trout, who turned 21 Aug. 7,
received all 28 first-place votes
from the AL panel of the Baseball
Writers’ Association of America.
The Los Angeles Angels center
fielder was the eighth unanimous
AL pick and the first since Tampa
Bay’s Evan Longoria in 2008.
Trout hit .326, second-best in
the league to Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera’s .330, with
30 homers and 83 RBIs, and he led
the majors with 129 runs and 49
steals. He joined Ted Williams,

Trout received the maximum
140 points. Oakland outfielder
Yoenis Cespedes was second
with 63, followed by Texas pitcher
Yu Darvish (46), who joined
Trout as the only players listed
on every ballot.
Detroit second baseman Lou
Whitaker had been the youngest AL winner in 1978, but he
was 3 months, 5 days older than
Trout on the day he took home
the award.
In addition to Trout and Longoria, the only other unanimous
AL winners were Nomar Gar-

Salmon, Sandy Alomar Jr.,
Mark McGwire and Carlton

Harper turned 20 on Oct. 16
and has been hyped for years.
When he was just 16, he appeared
on the cover of Sports Illustrated
with the headline “CHOSEN

“He’s been put on the spotlight
since he was 15 years old,” Trout
said.
The Washington Nationals outfielder got 16 of 32 first-place votes
from the NL panel. Miley was
second with 12 first-place votes,
followed by Cincinnati slugger

Neshannock embraces
challenge vs. Clairton
By Mike White
BOYS SOCCER
GIRLS SOCCER
Until two weeks ago, Neshannock had never won a WPIAL
playoff game.
Now the Lancers hope to
stop the longest winning streak
in WPIAL history.
Neshannock (10-1) plays
mighty Clairton (11-0) in a
Class A semifinal Friday night
at Chartiers-Houston. Talk
about opposite ends of the tradition spectrum. Clairton has
won 58 consecutive games and
a victory would tie the state
record for the longest winning
streak that Central Bucks West
set from 1997-2000.
Clairton has won four
WPIAL titles in a row. Meanwhile, the first playoff win
in Neshannock history came
Nov. 2 in the first round of the
WPIAL playoffs.
Considering those traditions,
few might give Neshannock a
chance to win. But coach Fred
Mozzocio insists his players
aren’t in awe of Clairton.
“Clairton is a dynamic team
and they are as athletic as any
team I’ve seen in my 25 years of
coaching,” Mozzocio said. “We
know the task ahead of us. But
when I played at New Castle
High School the first thing
[coach] Lindy Lauro used to
say to us was, ‘If you’re not in
this thing to win championships, you’re in the wrong business.’
“To get to the top of the
mountain and be a champion,
you have to play teams like
Clairton. It’s an honor to go on
the field and compete against
them. But by no means do we
feel like we don’t belong.”
Mozzocio believes his team
is brimming with confidence.
One of the reasons is because
Neshannock owns victories
this season against Sto-Rox and
North Catholic, who will meet
in the other semifinal.
“We feel we’re as battledtested as anyone,” Mozzocio
said.
But since a season-opening
22-20 victory against ChartiersHouston, Clairton has defeated
every team by at least 35
points.
Neshannock features quarterback Ernie Burkes, who has
2,282 yards of offense. He has
completed 112 of 184 for 1,495
yards and also rushed for 787
yards on 86 carries. Eli Owens
has 1,280 yards rushing.
One of Neshannock’s biggest
concerns has to be Clairton’s
Tyler Boyd, a heavily-recruited
running back/receiver who
has rushed for more than 1,800
yards this season.
“When I was a kid, I used to
like watching old NFL films
of Gale Sayers that were set to
music,” Mozzocio said. “When
I watch Boyd and see those cutbacks he makes, I said to myself,
‘Man, he’s like the modern-day
Kansas Comet.’
“But the thing about Clairton
is that even if you take Boyd off
the field, they’re probably still
11-0. They are a talented group
and also well-coached.”
Sto-Rox vs. North Catholic
In the other semifinal Fri-
day, Sto-Rox (11-2) meets North
Catholic (9-2) at Dormont Stadium. A win would put North
Catholic into a title game for
the first time since the school
joined the WPIAL in the mid
1970s. Sto-Rox lost a year ago
in the championship game to
Clairton.
North Catholic relies heavily on its running game, led by
sophomore halfback P.J. Fulmore, who has more than 1,600
yards rushing. But the Trojans
will face a Sto-Rox defense that
has improved dramatically
in the final half of the season.
In the first six games, Sto-Rox
gave up 164 points. In the past
five games, Sto-Rox has allowed
15 points.
“I think probably at the
halfway point of the season we
started to play together more,”
Sto-Rox coach Dan Bradley said.
“We started playing assignment football on defense, being
a lot more consistent with effort
and gap control. … I would say
our defense has improved a lot,
along with our offensive line.”
Sto-Rox features one of
the most potent dual-threat
quarterbacks in the WPIAL
in junior Lenny Williams,
who has almost 3,000 yards
of offense. Williams has completed 108 of 187 for 1,947 yards
and also rushed 117 times for
996 yards.

Girls basketball player at Seton-LaSalle ruled ineligible
The WPIAL ruled Yacine Diop ineligible to play basketball this season at Seton-LaSalle, saying
she transferred to the school for athletic reasons.
The WPIAL made the ruling after a hearing last week with Diop and Seton-LaSalle. Diop is a
talented 5-foot-10 junior guard who transferred from Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va., to
Seton-LaSalle. Oak Hill folded its girls basketball program.
Duquesne and other Division I colleges are interested in Diop and she already has a scholarship
offer from Dayton. Diop is originally from Senegal and played AAU basketball this summer for a
Pittsburgh-area team (Western PA Bruins) that included a number of top players in the WPIAL. The
team was coached by Ron Mumbray, a former Seton-LaSalle assistant coach. Mumbray became
Diop’s legal guardian.
Seton-LaSalle won WPIAL and PIAA Class AA titles last season with an undefeated record (30-0)
and is expected to be strong again this season. Diop can appeal the WPIAL decision to the PIAA.

Pau Gasol got home from
the game and read about it on
Twitter, while Dwight Howard
got a midnight message on his
BlackBerry. They shared most
Los Angeles Lakers fans’ mix
of surprise, trepidation and
anticipation.
Just when everybody
thought the Lakers were getting back together with Phil
Jackson, they switched course
in the middle of the night and
went with Mike D’Antoni.
What a weekend in Hollywood — and the real drama
isn’t over yet.
The Lakers reacted with
ample excitement and a little
bewilderment Monday to
their front office’s surprising
decision to hire D’Antoni as
coach Mike Brown’s replacement over Jackson, the 11-time
champion who discussed the
job at his home Saturday and
apparently wanted to return.
D’Antoni didn’t even interview
for the job in person, speaking
to the Lakers over the phone.
“It has been crazy, but all
this stuff will just make this
team stronger,” said Howard,
who has been in a Lakers
uniform for about six weeks.
“Everything that we’ve been
through so far, it’s going to
make us stronger, and we have
to look at this as a positive situation.”
The Lakers’ third coach in
four days won’t take over the
team until later in the week.
D’Antoni still hadn’t been
cleared to travel Monday after
having knee replacement surgery earlier in the month,
although the Lakers are optimistic the former Knicks and
Suns coach will arrive in Los
Angeles on Wednesday.
So interim coach Bernie
Bickerstaff was still in charge
Monday when the Lakers gathered for an informal workout
ahead of today’s game against
San Antonio. Just two weeks
into the regular season, the
Lakers (3-4) are about to start
over with a new offense and
another coaching staff — and
a renewed certainty they’re
expected to compete for a title
this season.
“It’s been a zoo,” said forward Antawn Jamison, a
15-year NBA veteran who
played for D’Antoni on a U.S.
national team. “But as I was
telling somebody, it’s just a
typical day here in L.A. It’s
interesting. … It should be
a lot easier to adjust to than
the system we were trying to
get adjusted to early on in the
season. We’ve got Steve [Nash]
that can help us out.”
Two Lakers who supported
both Brown and his two potential replacements weren’t available in El Segundo to weigh
in on the hire. Nash missed
the workout while getting
treatment on his injured leg,
while Kobe Bryant left before
it ended to share a helicopter ride back home to Orange
County with point guard Steve
Blake, who needed an exam on
his abdominal injury.
And the tall, professorial
coach with all the rings wasn’t
at the Lakers’ training complex at all.
Just 24 hours after Jackson
seemed headed back to his
oversized chair on the Staples
Center bench, D’Antoni had
the job.
It’s too soon to tell how the
Buss family’s latest counterintuitive move will sit with
Lakers fans, who chanted “We
want Phil!” during the club’s

weekend games, both victories
after a 1-4 start.
“I think everybody had
expectations about it, and they
were all pretty high,” Gasol
said of Jackson’s potential
return. “We all understood
what Phil brings to the table
… and what he means to the
city and the franchise. It just
couldn’t work out for whatever
reason.”
“The decision is of course
theirs to make,” Jackson said
in his statement. “I am gratified by the groundswell of support from the Laker[s] fans
who endorsed my return, and
it is the principal reason why I
considered the possibility.”

Gordon fined
for wreck
Four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon avoided
suspension Monday when
NASCAR instead fined him
$100,000 and docked him 25
points for intentionally wrecking Clint Bowyer at Phoenix
International Raceway.
Gordon was also placed on
probation through Dec. 31. But
he’ll be allowed to close out the
season Sunday at HomesteadMiami Speedway despite his
actions in the race at Phoenix,
which triggered a fight in the
garage area between the two
crews.
“I take responsibility for
my actions on the racetrack,”
Gordon said in a statement.
“I accept NASCAR’s decision
and look forward to ending the
season on a high note at Homestead.”
Meanwhile, Brad Keselowski was fined $25,000 and
placed on probation for having
an electronic device inside the
car — the phone he used to
tweet during a red flag period
caused by Gordon wrecking
Bowyer. Keselowski first
did it during a red flag at the
season-opening Daytona 500,
and NASCAR later banned the
practice.
