WHEN DO YOU LET GO?If you haven’t noticed, life is not always easy.
It is full of choices and we don’t always make the best ones. We have to live with people, and people are not always easy to live with. Sometimes we seem to think that if everyone were like us, the world would be a much better place. The fact is, not everyone is like us. We are each driven by our own stuff. Our belief systems, life experiences, family dynamics and a host of other things help to form and frame who we are. Our lives and our response to what happens to us are all refl ected in our behavior today. Is there ever a time to let go?
Do you know why a bulldog’s face is shaped the way it is? It is so it can latch on to something and still breathe. You and I are not made the same way. When we latch on to something we still have to breathe, but the problem is we don’t remember that and consequently don’t realize that what we are hanging on to is actually taking our life away. Perhaps it is an old hurt, something someone has done, an unforgiven act, or just plain anger. What-
ever the situation, we’re hanging on and not let-ting it go. It consumes our energy, our thoughts, and infl uences our behavior. We don’t let it go for a variety of reasons, all of which are taking their toll on our joy, peace, and even our health. So what’s the answer?
Perhaps we fi rst have to remember that judg-ment belongs to God. No matter what the act or offense, we can never exact enough judgment to satisfy our needs. The only solution is forgiveness. And forgiveness is the removal of the penalty due. Is it easy? No, it is never easy, but in order to live and be free, one must do this. Whether you real-ize it or not, the one that you are so angry with is going on about their life without much thought of you, so let it go. Sadly, when we allow situations or people to control us, we become slaves to our emo-tions. They haven’t put us there, we have done it to ourselves. It all comes down to one simple word, choice. You and I have the choice to stay in the unhealthy attitude where we are, or move past it. What’s it going to be? Think about it.

The nearly 8.3 million Pennsylvania voters who were registered as of last year’s general election do not need to register again unless they change their residence, name or party affi liation.
To register to vote for the fi rst time, a person must be a U.S. citizen and at least 18 by the day of the election. They must
reside at least one month before the next election in the Pennsylvania dis-trict in which they want to vote.
___SUPPORTERS AND DETRACTORSThe Democratic gover-
nor and Secretary of State Pedro Cortes said online registration is more con-venient for voters and will save taxpayers money, as well as improve the ac-curacy of voter rolls. The Pennsylvania County
Commissioners Associa-tion, an advocate for the state’s 67 counties, said the online system also could boost voter rolls and sagging voter turnout.
About 2 million Penn-sylvanians who are eli-gible to vote remain un-registered. By the end of business Thursday, more than 660 people had reg-istered online, the gover-nor’s offi ce said.
Cortes said state law gives the governor the le-gal authority to unilater-
ally put online registra-tion in place. But Cortes acknowledged that he would prefer the passage of legislation specifi cally mandating it. Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, who chairs the House State Government Committee, said he be-lieves the governor is on thin ice legally. Metcalfe said he and his allies are considering a court chal-lenge.
“This is a very impor-tant process that needs to be done right,” the Butler
County Republican said in a telephone interview. “We have a constitution and we have a separa-tion of powers for a rea-son. The executive branch is not supposed to make law.”
___COSTS AND SAVINGSThe state’s share of
the cost of the new system is expected to be about $200,000 spread over sev-eral years, mainly to cov-er software development,
Cortes said. The counties,which run state elections,are expected to see sav-ings with the use of lesspaper and a drop in la-bor-intensive data entry.“Deploying technologyto make the registrationprocess easier and moreconvenient makes sense,especially when it willalso save money, increase accuracy and improve the voting experience,” said Susan Carty, board presi-dent of the PennsylvaniaLeague of Women Voters.

Street municipal parking lot, a few will be located on Center Street as well.
Donations from local businesses and organiza-tions have played an in-tegral part of funding the operations of the festival.
“This allows the festi-val to improve and grow each year,” said Paula Weyant, festival co-chair-woman.
The festival opens Friday, Sept. 18 at 11 a.m. with the opening ceremony taking place at 6 p.m. in the Market Street municipal parking lot on the main stage. At that time, the festival’s committee will present the Organization of the Year award.
Following the cer-emony, the band “The Ride” will perform from 7-10 p.m.
The city’s open con-tainer law is being waived for Friday from 6-10 p.m. and Saturday from 2:30-10 p.m. No glass contain-ers are permitted outside drinking establishments.
Free parking is also being offered throughout downtown during the fes-tival weekend. There will be no parking permitted around the boulevard and the Diamond in front of the vendor spots. Mar-ket Street will also be closed to traffi c through-out the event beginning Thursday evening.
Among changes to this year’s festival is a new location for the Kids Zone being held at the South St. Marys Street Elementary School gym-nasium. The school offers an opportunity for the Kids Zone to expand its offerings.
Children can visit the zone for free on Saturday from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. There is a $1 to fee to play all
eight games with a prize awarded at each game.
New this year is a scavenger hunt. Forms may be picked up in the Kids Zone on Saturday. The correct answers will be located throughout the festival and at local merchants.
Completed forms may be dropped off at the fes-tival’s information booth in the Market Street mu-nicipal parking lot. All correct forms will be en-tered into a drawing to win a bike. The drawing will take place on Sun-day at 2 p.m. on the main stage.
Once again the Kids Zone will feature the Tumblebus, the Crystal Fire Department’s fi re-fi ghters obstacle course challenge and the Rock and Roll Pet Store Kids Show with three show-times at 11 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Weyant said the pet show was a big hit with children and their fami-lies last year.
The St. Marys Moose Family Center will have identifi cation kits avail-able for both children and adults.
Weyant noted the electric connect in the Market Street munici-pal parking lot has been upgraded in order to im-prove service to the food and other nearby ven-dors.
Throughout the weekend, numerous local merchants will be offer-ing sales and discounts as well.
Festival organizers continue to seek dona-tions for its popular bas-ket raffl e. Those busi-nesses, individuals or organizations interested in making a contribu-tion should contact Dolly

Guest Commentary
The rise of Donald Trump is, in part, a func-tion of a vacuum.
He is thriving in a Republican fi eld that is large, talented and, so far, underwhelming. To para-phrase Bruce Springsteen, there's 17 candidates and nothing on. Except Donald Trump.
Now, this has much to do with the media, and with Trump's unique qualities as a showman. He has the advantage of not caring about anything, apparently -- the facts, his reputation or, ultimately, winning the presidency. In consequence, he is a free man.
Yet no speech, no policy proposal, no argument, nothing from the other candidates has come close to capturing the imagi-nation of voters, giving Trump the space to loom all the larger.
The weakness starts at the top, or what was sup-posed to be the top. Jeb Bush's "shock and awe" has turned into getting sand kicked on him at the beach by a loudmouth and bully. It's not just that Bush is trailing Trump badly in the polls; he has acceded to the terms of the debate being set by the mogul.
In the argument with Trump over mass deporta-tion, clearly Bush is right. But the split screen with Trump doesn't necessarily do him any favors. Trump is such a forceful commu-nicator that he comes off as some sort of throwback alpha male, whereas Bush is such an earnest wonk, he looks and sounds like a sensitive dad from a con-temporary sitcom. It's like watching a WWE wrestler get a stern talking to from Ned Flanders.
Bush is not a natural performer to begin with, and he believes his con-tribution to the race is to be the nonthreatening Republican, which is often indistinguishable from the uninteresting Republican. So while Bush has me-thodically built the super-structure of an impressive campaign -- with fund-raising, organization and policy proposals -- he has so far barely warmed up an ember among voters.
Scott Walker, in con-trast, had a surge early in the campaign. It dissi-pated over time when his limited preparation on na-tional issues didn't match his outsized early press
exposure. A so-so debate performance and the rise of Trump have continued his long fade to middle of the pack in the latest early state polling (tied for fourth in New Hampshire and tied for seventh in South Carolina).
Walker's ability to ap-peal to both the establish-ment and activist wings of the party had looked like a strength, but now it seems a precarious bal-ancing act, made all the more diffi cult by a panicky reaction to Trump.
No sooner had Walker pronounced himself "ag-gressively normal" in the debate than he seemed to opt for just "aggressive" in an attempt to play to the passions tapped by Trump. Who could have predicted that the Midwestern candidate who tells stories about buying shirts for $1 at Kohl's would have to play populist catch-up with the New York billionaire who travels by eponymous helicopter?
As for Marco Rubio, for whom expectations have been so high, he has been the least reactive to Trump. His campaign is still betting on the long game. It believes his tal-ent will tell over time, but he doesn't have a natural geographic or ideological base.
Ted Cruz may be benefi ting most from the Trump surge in his strategic positioning. He has a cogent theory of the case, which is that if he is nice to Trump -- and the other outsider candidates -- he eventually can inher-ent his supporters. This makes intuitive sense, although Cruz -- exceed-ingly careful in crafting his words and in calculat-ing his interest -- is hardly a natural anti-politician.
It is still August, of course. The rules of grav-ity say Trump will come back down to earth. The media interest that is so intense now could burn out. His lack of serious-ness should be a drag over time.
Even if he fades, though, someone else will have to fi ll the screen. To this point, no one else has been big or vivid enough to do it.

The GOP Field That Failed
A war with Iran would be a catastrophe, yet by opposing diplomacy, hun-dreds of members of Con-gress may be blundering into just such a confl ict. The Iran nuclear deal, as the complex diplomatic arrangement is popularly called, was agreed upon on July 14 by a consor-tium of key powerful countries, the European Union and Iran. The goal of the agreement is to limit Iran's nuclear activities to peaceful purposes, and to block Iran's ability to construct a nuclear bomb. Despite what its critics say, this agreement is not based on trust. It grants the International Atomic Energy Agency the power to conduct widespread, intrusive inspections to ensure that Iran keeps its many pledges. In return, many, but not all, of the sanctions on Iran, which have been crippling its economy, will be lifted.
The alternative to diplo-macy is to pour gasoline on a region of the world al-ready on fi re with intense, complex military confl icts. Iran's military has more than half a million sol-diers, no doubt with many more who could be mobi-lized if threatened with in-vasion. Iran shares a vast border to its west with Iraq, and to its east with Afghanistan, two nations with ongoing military and humanitarian disasters that have consumed the U.S. military since 2001, costing trillions of dollars
and untold lives.Gary Sick served on the
National Security Council under Presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, and was the principal White House aide for Iran during the Iranian Revolution and the hostage crisis, when 52 Americans were held hos-tage in Iran for 444 days, between 1979 and 1981. "Basically, we've had two years of negotiation, which have been remarkably successful and produced something that is com-plicated but nevertheless solves the problem," Sick said on the "Democracy Now!" news hour. "If that is turned down by the U.S. Congress, the United States is on its own."
Sick makes a key point: Even if the U.S. Congress rejects the deal, and, after President Barack Obama vetoes that rejection (which he has promised to do), even if the Senate can then muster the 67 votes needed to overturn his veto, that doesn't mean that the other signatories to the deal will go along with the rejection. China, France, Russia and the United Kingdom, along with other European Union countries, can ac-cept the terms and remove sanctions on Iran. This would leave the United States isolated and alone (with its Middle East ally, Israel), on a war footing against Iran. "The chance of renegotiating it is very close to zero. As the situa-
tion evolves, there's a very real chance of confl ict," Gary Sick said.
Another supporter of the deal is an American activ-ist who was a prisoner in Iran. Sarah Shourd was held for more than 400 days in Tehran's notorious Evin Prison, much of that time in solitary confi ne-ment. She, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal were the three American hikers who were arrested by Iranian border guards while hiking in Iraqi Kurdistan back in 2009. Much of the criti-cism of the current deal centers on its failure to secure the release of four other Americans, three of whom are known to be imprisoned in Iran, among them Washington Post re-porter Jason Rezaian. The fourth, Robert Levinson, is believed to be alive, but his whereabouts are unknown.
"Not only does it weaken the hard-liner position in Iran and ease tension between our two countries, it could lead to cooperation to combat ISIS," Shourd said of the deal on "De-mocracy Now!." "I also think that it is good for the Americans that are currently detained there. I think it actually gives the Iranian government less incentive to use hostage taking as a tactic." When a deal was proposed in 2010, during her imprison-ment, Shourd recalled: "I was dancing and laughing in my cell, because I had no doubt in my mind that my release and Shane and
Josh's release would be carefully calibrated with the temperature of U.S.-Iranian relations. So, if the temperature is good, it looks better for the hos-tages."
On Wednesday, U.S.-based groups organized more than 225 public demonstrations at the offi ces of members of Congress, in a "No War With Iran" National Day of Action. Shourd joined scores of other prominent women, among them Glo-ria Steinem, Alice Walker, Jane Fonda and peace activist Medea Benjamin, under the banner of Code-pink, declaring, "Women support the Iran nuclear deal; we say no to war and YES to diplomacy."
When sealing a nuclear-arms deal with the Soviet Union in 1987, President Reagan repeatedly said, "Trust, but verify," playing on a Russian proverb. Rea-gan clearly did not trust the Soviets, so he insisted on a thorough verifi cation process. This deal with Iran has exactly that. Give diplomacy a chance.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A funeral home that owned a nearby garage where three decomposing bodies were discovered was operating without a state license since 2012.
The Philadelphia In-quirer reports that state offi cials couldn't explain why Powell Mortuary Ser-vices was permitted to op-erate after that.
Neighbors around the corner from the funeral home discovered the bod-ies Tuesday when they in-vestigated a foul odor em-anating from the garage.
In May, state inspec-tors cited Powell Mortu-ary Services for operating with an expired license and director Janet Powell Dailey for working with an
expired funeral director's license.
Dailey's license has since been renewed.
Dailey and the funeral business have had signifi -cant fi nancial troubles, in-cluding being sued numer-ous times by the IRS, the state and the city. Dailey declined comment.

WEST CHESTER (AP) — Authorities in southcentral Pennsylva-nia say a 6-year-old boy has died after he was caught between horse-drawn hay carts.
The Chester Coun-ty Coroner's Offi ce said Thursday said the boy's death from multiple trau-matic injuries was ruled
to be accidental. Few de-tails were available about the Wednesday morn-ing accident on a road in Honey Brook and author-ities didn't identify the child.
Pennsylvania State Police say troopers were called to the scene around 9:15 a.m. after the boy had become pinned be-tween the carts as they passed each other.
Authorities say the boy died a few hours later at Paoli Hospital.

BRADFORD (AP) — Zippo, the Pennsylvania maker of iconic cigarette lighters best known for their distinctive metal cases, has agreed to pay $186,000 to settle allegations it violated federal hazardous waste laws.
The U.S. Environmen-tal Protection Agency said this week that Zippo Manu-facturing Co.'s alleged vio-lations included reporting and storage practices at its Bradford facility.
The violations were mainly clerical in nature, Zippo spokesman Jeff Duke told the Bradford Era on Wednesday. He said em-ployees were unaware that reporting requirements had changed and that equip-ment they were using was no longer approved by regu-lators.
"It sounds a lot more dramatic than it really was.
This is primarily a paper-work issue."
Duke said there were no issues with chemicals being released or toxic ma-terials spilled. A contractor working for the EPA discov-ered an unpermitted evapo-rator or thermal treatment unit in use at the company's facility.
After being cited, he said Zippo worked with the EPA for several months ne-gotiating the terms of the settlement
The evaporator, used in the chrome-plating of Zippo lighters, has since been re-moved from production.
Duke said as of Tues-day all issues were either corrected or being corrected.
"As far as we know we're in full compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and regula-tions."

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Animal rescue activists in Pittsburgh are reacting to the Steelers' signing of quarterback Michael Vick.
The Animal Rescue League Shelter and Wild-life Center said Thursday on its Facebook page that it is moving an annual fundraiser from Heinz Field, the home of the Steelers.
Instead, it'll hold the Paw Prints Gala on Oct. 31 at the Consol Energy Center.
It says it is "extremely
disheartened" by Vick's signing Tuesday, coinci-dentally on National DogDay.
Vick returned to foot-ball in 2009 after serving18 months in prison forhelping run an interstatedogfi ghting ring.
Since his release fromprison, Vick has advo-cated against organizedanimal fi ghting. Earlier this week, he said he can'ttake back what he did, but he's making up for it thebest he can.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The No. 16 jersey and what it ultimately signifi es for Tyler Murphy fi ts just fi ne and all. It’s just not the one he would prefer to wear.
Given a choice, the Pittsburgh Steelers rookie would rather have a lower number, maybe one with a single digit. You know, the kind the guys who line up behind center wear.
“I still consider myself a quarterback,” Murphy said. “I feel like I can still execute there at a high lev-el.”
And while that might one day be true, Murphy also understands if he wants to have any shot of sticking around with the Steelers in any capacity he needs to put his ego in his pocket and a pair of wide receiver gloves on.
“I’m a slash kind of guy I guess,” Murphy said.
Or just another fi rst-year player trying to land a job. Making it in the NFL is hard enough. Murphy is trying to do it while learn-ing a new position and try-ing to hold on to an old one.
“There’s no easy route I guess,” he said.
Particularly not for tweeners like Murphy — who has never played re-
ceiver in his life — or sixth-round draft pick Anthony Chickillo, who is transition-ing from defensive tackle to outside linebacker in hopes of becoming the third gen-eration of Chickillos to make an NFL roster.
Murphy appears to be making inroads. The for-mer Florida and Boston College quarterback hauled in a 22-yard touchdown pass from Landry Jones in the fourth quarter of a comeback 24-19 preseason victory over Green Bay on Sunday, the fi rst time Mur-phy can remember reach-ing the end zone on a play that didn’t begin with him handling the snap.
It was equal parts thrilling and weird
“It’s always good to get on the fi eld and help your-self out,” Murphy said.
In any way possible. While Murphy will con-tinue to see the fi eld as a receiver on Saturday when the Steelers play in Buffa-lo, he pulled a quick change in practice on Wednesday. During one sequence Mur-phy switched out his No. 16 for a No. 5 and spent sever-al series as the scout team quarterback in an attempt to mimic Buffalo’s Tyrod Taylor.
It was a courtesy more
than anything, at least for now. Murphy admits he hoped his role would change when veteran back-up Bruce Gradkowski was lost for the season with an injury to his left hand In-stead the Steelers signed Michael Vick to compete against Jones for the right to sit behind Ben Roethlis-berger.
“I thought maybe I’d get pulled back to the QB room, get my shot there but coaches didn’t see it that way,” Murphy said. “I didn’t get that shot yet.”
Apparently, however, it is coming. Tomlin said Thursday there is a chance Murphy could see time at quarterback in the exhibi-tion fi nale against Carolina next week, when the clos-est Roethlisberger will get to the fi eld will likely come during the opening coin toss.
That’s fi ne by Murphy, who understands the deli-cate numbers at work. He’s no higher than fourth on the depth chart at quarter-back and nearly as buried at wide receiver, a group that fi gures to have fi ve spots already sewn up. There is little wiggle room and yet Murphy insists he’s at ease.
Cole snapped the longest win-less drought of his career, Pe-dro Alvarez homered and the Pittsburgh Pirates held on to beat the Miami Marlins 2-1 on Thursday night.
Catcher Francisco Cervelli tripled and scored in the sec-ond inning for the Pirates, who took three out of four in the se-ries. Alvarez made it 2-0 in the fourth on his 21st homer — the 18th of the solo variety.
Cole (15-7) allowed one run and fi ve hits in 7 1-3 innings, striking out four and walking none. Cole hadn’t gotten the win in any of his previous fi ve starts, and the Pirates are 45-22 all-time when he takes the mound.
Justin Nicolino (2-2) gave up two runs and six hits in six innings for the Marlins, who got two hits apiece from Marcell Ozuna and Martin Prado.
The Marlins got within 2-1 in the seventh when Derek Dietrich’s sacrifi ce fl y allowed Prado to score. Miami got what would have been the tying run to second with one out in the eighth, but left-hander Tony Watson relieved Cole and re-tired Dee Gordon and Ichiro Suzuki to strand J.T. Realmuto and keep the Pirates on top.
Mark Melancon gave up a leadoff single to Prado in the ninth, then got Justin Bour to hit into a double play and re-tired Ozuna on a grounder to fi nish off his 41st save in 43 chances.
It was the 32nd time the Marlins had been held to one run or less this season, los-
ing all but one of those games. Pittsburgh won for the 64th time in its last 97 games, the best record in baseball over that span.
Giants 9, Cubs 1SAN FRANCISCO (AP) —
Rookie Kelby Tomlinson wasn’t sure how to react when his grand slam was replayed on the stadium video board. Veteran Marlon Byrd reminded him to smile and take in the moment.
Tomlinson hit a slam for his fi rst career home run and Byrd added a three-run shot, leading Madison Bumgarner and the San Francisco Giants over the Chicago Cubs 9-1 on Thursday.
“It was pretty crazy. Every-body got up and started clap-ping for me,” Tomlinson said. “I’d never experienced anything like that. It’s pretty special.”
The win moved the Giants within 5½ games of the Cubs for the second NL wild-card spot.
Bumgarner (16-6) struck out 12 in six innings, giving up one run and two hits. He won his fi fth straight start and matched the Cubs’ Jake Arrieta for most victories in the majors.
“I’m just going out there and competing,” Bumgarner said. “Things are just going our way right now. I don’t look at the month, I look from start to start.”
Tomlinson homered off James Russell in the eighth and received a standing ovation from the sellout crowd when he took his position at second base in the ninth. Matt Duffy and Juan Perez also drove in runs for the Giants, who won their second straight but are 3-5 over
their past eight games.“You play in the yard and
you never dream about getting a base hit,” Tomlinson said. “You dream about hitting a home run and hitting a grand slam. I don’t hit many home runs, so that was great.”
The Cubs lost a road series for the fi rst since being swept by St. Louis in late June. They had won or split their previous six road series.
Dan Haren (8-9) lasted 6 1-3 innings, his longest outing since going seven against Toronto on June 9, a span of 15 starts.
Haren gave up fi ve runs and six hits. He walked three and struck out four.
“We got a run off Bumgar-ner, which is hard to do, and I just give it right back,” Haren said. “No one feels worse about it than me. I have to be better.”
Starlin Castro doubled home Anthony Rizzo in the sec-ond for Chicago. Bumgarner did not give up a hit after Castro’s double, retiring 15 of the fi nal 17 batters he faced.
Perez’s second-inning dou-ble tied it and Duffy’s third-inning single gave the Giants a 2-1 edge.
Byrd’s second home run for the Giants, a line drive that just cleared the center fi eld fence, was his fourth in 35 at-bats against Haren.
“He’s 2 for 2 with three-run homers on my days,” Bumgar-ner said. “He’s been great to have around.”
Dodgers 1, Reds 0CINCINNATI (AP) — One
run on a double-play ball was the total sum for the Los Ange-
les Dodgers’ hitters on Thurs-day.
That was all Zack Greinke and the bullpen needed.
Greinke and two relievers combined on a four-hitter and the NL West leaders completed a three-game sweep of the reel-ing Cincinnati Reds with a 1-0 win on Thursday.
“Zack was his typical Zack,” manager Don Mattingly said. “He was good all day.”
Greinke (14-3) lowered his major league-best ERA to 1.61, giving up four hits over seven innings. He fi nished with two walks and nine strikeouts while improving to 7-2 in 12 games against Cincinnati.
Chris Hatcher pitched the eighth and allowed Todd Fra-zier’s fl y ball to left fi eld that Andre Ethier caught one step in front of the wall. Jim Johnson pitched the ninth for his 10th save.
The Dodgers completed their fi rst sweep in Cincinnati since a three-game set in July 2009.
“There wasn’t a lot of oppor-tunity, but we had some,” Reds manager Bryan Price said. “We didn’t cash in. There are little things we can do, like baserun-ning and getting bunts down.”
The sweep helped the Dodg-ers salvage an eight-game road trip that started with fi ve straight losses, including a no-hitter by Houston’s Mike Fiers last week.
“It was looking bad for a lit-tle bit,” Greinke said. “You hope to do better on a road trip, but we’re still in fi rst place. That’s important.”
There were a couple of set-backs, though.
Dodgers fi rst baseman Adri-an Gonzalez exited after four in-nings with a bruised right knee,having fouled a ball off himself.He was listed as day to day.
Los Angeles relief pitcherJuan Nicasio was called in fromthe bullpen to pinch-run in theninth when outfi elder YasielPuig sustained an injury to thesame left hamstring that forcedhim to miss 38 games early in the season.
The Reds went 1-9 on theirhomestand and have lost 12 of their last 13 games.
Cincinnati didn’t get a run-ner to third base until the fi fth inning, but Jay Bruce wasstranded when pitcher AnthonyDeSclafani bunted foul withtwo strikes and Skip Schumak-er struck out.
Justin Turner, Andre Ethierand Yasiel Puig led off the sec-ond with consecutive singlesagainst DeSclafani, setting up Yasmani Grandal’s bases-loaded, run-scoring double-play ball.
The double play was the fi rst of fi ve turned by the Reds in the game.
DeSclafani (7-10) allowed six hits — three by Ethier —and one run with one walk and six strikeouts in seven inningswhile losing his third consecu-tive start.
“It is fun to go against Gre-inke,” DeSclafani said. “I knew I had to do my best. It was tough on the hitters today going against him. I have to get my bunts down. It’s not like I don’t work at it, but you have to get them down. That’s on me.”

7Friday, August 28, 2015The Daily Press
STATE COLLEGE (AP) — When DaeSean Hamilton made his col-lege football debut last season, he looked like a man trying to make up for lost time.
Team doctors discov-ered a broken bone in Hamilton’s left wrist dur-ing his physical in 2013 and shut him down be-fore training camp. By the start of 2014, Hamilton hadn’t put in much work with quarterback Chris-tian Hackenberg and in-stead spent nearly all of his redshirt year healing and recuperating. But he still caught 82 passes for 899 yards and two touch-downs, setting a handful of rookie records for the school.
Penn State players and coaches are no longer worried about fi nding a No. 1 receiver. Hamilton is their top target on a roster full of young — but mostly unproven — re-ceiver talent.
“I think it’s going to be a huge jump in his per-formance this year,” Penn State receivers coach Josh Gattis said. “He’s able to carry over the confi dence of playing last year. He’s had a great offseason, had a great camp and he’s tru-
ly been the leader for us in our receiver group.”
The position suits Hamilton — a generally calm son of two Marines — and the team needs him in the role.
Penn State signed seven scholarship receiv-ers in the last two recruit-ing classes and a handful of them will likely play this year. Gattis said he expects to use up to eight receivers, including true freshmen Juwan Johnson and Kevin Polk and red-shirt freshman DeAndre Thompkins. They’ll join true sophomores Saeed Blacknall and Chris God-win who debuted along-side Hamilton last season and got more active as the year unfolded.
Hamilton was imme-diately effective.
He caught 11 passes for 165 yards in his fi rst game, was averaging over eight catches per game at the midway point and led the Big Ten in catch-es. More importantly, it didn’t appear there was any break-in period for the young receiver.
Hamilton drew tough assignments over the middle, absorbing hits that could’ve caused oth-er youngsters to be gun-
shy. He operated on the perimeter as the team’s primary outside weapon, running screen routes and quick comebacks. He played downfi eld, too, out-leaping defensive backs for jump balls. And he quickly became one of the voices of the team, speak-ing to reporters after wins and losses.
His personality doesn’t refl ect his fi erce playing style and Ham-ilton has been humble about his early achieve-ments.
The reserved Freder-icksburg, Virginia, native insists despite his suc-cess, he was learning on the fl y last season. Ham-ilton guessed he has a knack for keying in and picking things up quickly.
“Now I feel like a sea-soned vet out here and everything’s just com-ing smoother and faster to me,” Hamilton said. “Everything’s just slowed down and I have my foot-ball legs from the jump and I feel great.”
That wasn’t always the case in 2014 and to-ward the end of the sea-son, Hamilton began to slow because of a sore hamstring.
With Hamilton unable
to gain the separation and yards after the catch that made him so dangerous for the fi rst half of the season, Penn State’s passing game bogged down.
Hackenberg completed just 45 percent of his pass-es against Maryland, In-diana, Temple and Illinois and Penn State limped to the end of the regular sea-son, dropping three of its fi nal fi ve games.
Hamilton used the added break before the Pinstripe Bowl against Boston College to rest his legs and fi nished with sev-en catches for 51 yards and a touchdown. His versatil-ity opened up the offense for his teammates, Hack-enberg said.
Franklin and Gattis foresee a similar start for Hamilton when Penn State opens its season against Temple on Sept. 5. And they’re betting their top wideout’s skills and work ethic will have rubbed off on his younger teammates by then. He’s quick to pass on what he learns, they said.
“He’s mature. He’s smart. He’s disciplined,” Franklin said. “I think he was really hungry after sitting out the previous, basically six months.”

SOUTH WILLIAM-SPORT (AP) — A swing-and-a-miss ended the lopsided game. Mexicali players ran from their po-sitions to a spot between the mound and the plate, celebrating their berth in the International champi-onship game.
One player was miss-ing.
The last one to arrive was Daniel Zaragoza, who had to run all the way from right fi eld — his po-sition for the fi nal out. It was the only time all day that No. 18 wasn’t wasn’t right in the middle of ev-erything.
The left-hander who patterns himself after Fernando Valenzuela gave up only three hits on Thursday, leading Mexi-cali Baja California, Mex-ico, to an 11-0 victory over Barquisimeto, Venezu-ela, at the Little League World Series. He also had a two-run double that got it started.
Peering over his tan-and-black glove to get signs from the catch and
then delivering the ball with a deliberate motion, Zaragoza looked a little bit like the famous Mexi-can pitcher — also a lefty — who sparked Fernan-domania with the Dodg-ers in 1981. Asked for his favorite player, Zaragoza quickly answered: “Fer-nando.”
Why? Because of his screwball. Can he throw one, too?
“No,” Zaragoza said. “It’s hard.”
The Fernando fan led the way as Mexicali ad-vanced easily to the title game on Saturday, where it will get an awaited re-match against Tokyo for the International cham-pionship. The winner will face the U.S. champion a day later for the World Se-ries title.
Tokyo beat Mexicali 3-1 early in the tourna-ment, so there’s a little extra on the line.
“Baseball gives you revenge,” said manager Jorge Joel Armenta, who has a tattoo of a rosary and No. 69 — his number
as a player — on his right forearm. “We want to play Japan.”
Barquisimeto came within one strike of reach-ing the International title game on Wednesday, be-fore Japan tied it with an RBI single in the bot-tom of the sixth and then won it with three runs in the eighth. Barquisimeto used up its pitching staff in that one.
“Last night’s game hurt, but we came in fo-cused on today’s game,” manager Domingo A. Car-rasquel said. “Mexico just played better.”
Zaragoza’s double in the second inning made it 2-0. Alberto Bustos had a two-run double in the third and a two-run hom-er in the fi fth as Mexicali pulled away. Catcher Raul Leon added a three-run homer, his second in two games.
Zaragoza gave up three singles in 5 2-3 in-nings, leaving after reach-ing the limit with 89 pitches. He switched po-sitions with right fi elder
Gerardo Lujano for the fi nal out, and then made the long jog back toward the mound to join the cel-ebration.
Mexicali thinks it’s in a better place for the re-match with Japan. The of-fense has come around — Leon, the cleanup hitter, has driven in eight runs in the last two games — and the pitching and defense have remained a constant.
The pitching-and-de-fense combination wins in Little League, too.
Second baseman An-dres Villa had a nice scoop play to take away a hit on Thursday, using his glove to funnel the ball to fi rst base. Later, he had a nice pivot at second base to turn a double play. Short-stop Jorge Armenta drew a loud ovation for another highlight play, going to his knees to nab a grounder up the middle and then get-ting to his feet for a perfect throw to get the out.
Is it enough for a re-match upset?
“We’ll see on Satur-day,” the manager said.

Defending champion Kvitova advances in Connecticut Open
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Second-seeded defending champion Pe-tra Kvitova of the Czech Republic beat seventh-seeded Agnieska Radwan-ska of Poland 7-5, 6-4 on Thurday night to reach the Connecticut Open semifi nals.
“She’s a smart player,” Kvitova said. “She know where the ball will go prob-ably before I know where it’s going to be. She’s a very good mover actually. I think that the serve is kind of the weakness of her game. I was trying to
take advantage from it,to be aggressive from thefi rst kind of shot.”
Kvitova overcame a 5-3 defi cit in the fi rst set.
“Yeah, you know, I was trying,” said Kvitova, who has been battling mono-nucleosis this summer.“When you are losing 5-3,you’re just trying to dosomething probably a lit-tle bit different. I was re-ally like risking too much,I think. I was really miss-ing all those shots and Iwasn’t really in the goodtiming.”

Tampa Bay bullpen helps end Twins’ 6-game winning streak
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Relievers Brandon Gomes, Alex Co-lome and Brad Boxberger combined for 4 2-3 score-less innings and the Tam-pa Bay Rays ended Min-nesota’s six-game winning streak, beating the Twins 5-4 on Thursday night.
The loss dropped the Twins a half-game behind Texas for the second AL wild-card spot.
Gomes (2-4) got an inning-ending double play with two on in the fi fth during his 1 2-3 innings. After Colome worked two innings, Boxberger struck out all three batters he faced for his 31st save.
Joey Butler, recalled from Triple-A Durham to take the place of injured outfi elder Desmond Jen-nings, had an RBI single off Tommy Milone (6-4) and later scored on a passed ball to give Tampa Bay a 5-4 lead in the sixth.
Eduardo Escobar homered for the Twins.
Milone allowed fi ve runs and eight hits in 5
1-3 innings. In his pre-vious outing Sunday, he helped out a depleted bullpen and got his fi rst professional save as the Twins beat Baltimore 4-3 in 12 innings.
Escobar had a solo homer off Drew Smyly during a two-run fourth that put the Twins ahead 4-2. On Wednesday, Esco-bar hit a pair of solo shots for his fi rst multihomer game.
Smyly gave up four runs and eight hits over 4 1-3 innings in his third start since returning from a left shoulder injury that sidelined him three months. The left-hander threw 100 pitches.
J.P. Arencibia cut the Rays’ defi cit to 4-3 with a sacrifi ce fl y in the fi fth.
After Kurt Suzuki drove in a run on his 200th career double dur-ing the second, the Twins tied it at 2 when Miguel Sano had a towering RBI double to center fi eld in the third that struck an overhanging catwalk
around 150 feet above the playing surface.
The Rays scored twice in the fi rst on Evan Long-oria’s sacrifi ce fl y and a solo homer by Logan For-sythe.
White Sox 4, Mariners 2CHICAGO (AP) —
Carlos Rodon took a shut-out into the seventh in-ning, Adam Eaton had three hits and scored three runs, and the Chi-cago White Sox beat the Seattle Mariners 4-2 on Thursday night.
Jose Abreu and Trayce Thompson had RBI dou-bles for Chicago, which wore throwback uniforms that debuted in 1976 and included white wide-col-lared untucked jerseys paired with navy blue pants and white socks.
Thompson had two hits and Avisail Gar-cia had two RBIs for the White Sox, who had lost three of their previous four.
Rodon (6-5) left after giving up a two-run hom-
er to Franklin Gutierrez in the seventh inning. He was charged with both runs and three hits while striking out fi ve and walking three in six-plus innings.
David Robertson got the last three outs for his 27th save in 33 chances.
Roenis Elias (4-7) gave up four runs and nine hits in 6 2/3 innings for Seattle.
Rangers 4, Blue Jays 1ARLINGTON, Texas
(AP) — Jose Bautista charged hard and reached down. Toronto’s right fi elder quickly realized that the ball went under his glove and was rolling toward the warning track.
Bautista’s error in the seventh inning led to three Texas runs, as Deli-no DeShields kept run-ning all the way home, and the AL East-leading Blue Jays closed an oth-erwise-impressive trip with a 4-1 loss Thursday. It ended their fi ve-game winning streak.

MLSTake away game tick-
ets for missing class. Hold back a bowl gift for being late. Maybe even dock a player his $15 per diem for skipping study hall.
For years, college football coaches have been coming up with cre-ative ways within NCAA rules to punish players for relatively minor mis-steps — sometimes hit-ting them in the wallets.
These days those wallets are fuller than ever before, thanks to new NCAA rules which increase the value of an athletic scholarship by several thousand dol-lars to include a stipend for additional cost-of-at-tendance expenses. That does not mean coaches can start fi ning players for misdeeds like they do in the pros.
“All that’s covered (in cost of attendance) is the costs that the school says is needed to survive on campus,” said Ramogi Huma, executive direc-tor of National College Players Association, a student-athlete advocacy group. “This is not excess money.”
Not only could fi ning players be an NCAA vio-lation, but it also makes college sports look like professional sports at a time when college lead-ers are trying to make the case that amateurism needs to be preserved.
Huma led a move-ment to unionize football players at Northwestern. It failed, but the Na-tional Labor Relations Board never did rule on whether the players were employees. College sports leaders insist they are not. Antitrust lawsuits against the NCAA make the case they are.
Virginia Tech athletic director Whit Babcock quickly stamped out a potential problem Thurs-day night in Blacksburg, Virginia, when he quick-ly ended a fi ne program Hokies’ coaches said they were considering.
Defensive coordinator
Bud Foster talked about fi nes coming out of play-ers’ cost-of-attendance money. Virginia Tech ath-letes are receiving an ad-ditional $3,280 (or $3,620 for out-of-state students) this year to cover expens-es beyond tuition, room and board and fees.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch published a pho-to on Thursday of a video board at the Virginia Tech football facility that had a list of transgres-sions — missing class, missing study hall, dirty locker, unsportsmanlike behavior — with dollar amounts next to them ranging from $5 to $100.
Virginia Tech said no money had been forfeited under the proposed sys-tem.
“Now, I would also like to say this: I really admire coach (Frank) Beamer, the behavior of our players, the account-ability, the discipline, the clean program. I admire what he’s done,” Babcock told The Roanoke Times. “But I just think this is a new era and we all agreed this morning that we would stop this prac-tice in total.”
Babcock said in the past Virginia Tech coach-es had disciplined play-ers by withholding game tickets or bowl gifts.
That’s not uncommon nor is it against the rules. Tickets and gifts are perks for being part of the team, not fi nancial aid.
“I would basically hold ransom,” said for-mer UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel, now an ana-lyst for CBS. “I would keep things and if I got the behavior I wanted it would be returned to them.
“I would hold back bowl gifts until we got the academic work that we needed to get done.”
Neuheisel, who also coached at Washington and Colorado, said a play-er could be punished by not being allowed to drive to a not-so-far-away bowl game, hence taking away the player’s ability to be reimbursed for the mile-
age and make a couple of bucks in the process.
Former Arkansas and Mississippi coach Hous-ton Nutt said making a player run gassers or sta-dium steps at 5 a.m. as punishment isn’t always enough to get his atten-tion.
Nutt said he once took away a player’s trav-el per diem — about $15 — after the player missed several study halls.
“To me it was a good little learning point es-pecially when his team-mates opened up their en-velope and got theirs and his fi rst trek was straight to me,” said, who also works for CBS Sports. “’Hey coach where’s my envelope?’”
Cincinnati coach Tom-my Tuberville seemed to double-down on the Vir-ginia Tech plan when he told ESPN that he would withhold cost-of-atten-dance funds if players violated team or athletic department rules.
“We are in no way, shape or form fi ning any of our student-athletes,” Cincinnati athletic direc-tor Mike Bohn said.
While NCAA rulesprohibit schools from withholding scholarship funds, a school can in-clude in its scholarship agreement that funds can be revoked for viola-tions of university, ath-letic department or team policies. The scholarship agreement athletes sign with Cincinnati spells that out. There is also a university appeals pro-cess for an athlete who faces the loss of a scholar-ship.
Cincinnati football players are receivingan additional $5,504 in scholarship money to cov-er cost of attendance.
“And now we’re trying to educate our student athletes,” said MaggieMcKinley, associate ath-letic director who over-sees compliance at Cin-cinnati, “because of that increase in their scholar-ships, they have more to lose.”

DuBOIS – Over 230 students from across the country and around the globe offi cially became part of the DuBois com-munity last Thursday at Convocation Ceremonies and New Student Orien-tation at Penn State Du-Bois.
Director of Enroll-ment Melissa Duttry passed on a list of names of new students to Chan-cellor Melanie Hatch, signifying the steps stu-dents have taken to move through the admissions process, to full student status. Duttry remarked that the population of the incoming class is very di-verse in the places they've traveled from to attend Penn State DuBois.
"This group of stu-dents comes from 10 states, including Penn-sylvania. You are from 25 different Pa. counties and 80 high schools," Duttry said. "This year’s class includes students from as close as Main Street in Brockway and as far away as Kealakekua, Hawaii, and China."
Hatch offered the offi cial welcome to the university, saying, "Dur-ing your time here, I sin-cerely hope that you will discover what a special place our campus is. Over the course of the day, you will meet many of our fac-ulty and staff who will be your mentors, your cheer-leaders, your guides and your counselors. They will challenge you, they will coach you, and they will inspire you. One day you will look back and realize how much infl uence they had on shaping you as an individual."
Throughout her ad-dress, Hatch urged stu-dents to embrace every
opportunity to grow, be in-volved, and excel through personal growth both in the classroom and beyond.
"On Friday, we will be participating in the annu-al Community Outreach Day as part of a day of service to our local friends and neighbors. We will be sending 18 teams of stu-dents accompanied by fac-ulty and staff members to various organizations in the community. It is our hope that after this expe-rience, you will continue to volunteer your time and talents in the future," Hatch said. "You will see the power that we have to make a difference in the lives of others, especially when we come together as a team to get the work done."
Hatch also reminded students that a well-rounded education means following one's own inter-ests and passion, and that
now could even be a time to fi nd out what some of those passions might be. She said, "This is your time to try new things, join one of our amazing student clubs, say hello to someone you don’t know, or run for a position in student government. You don’t know what you might fi nd fun until you try it for the fi rst time. Stretch yourself."
Through it all, the chancellor advised stu-dents to remain true to themselves. Taking a quote from Dr. Seuss, she said, "'Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.' I suppose this quote re-ally speaks for itself but I think the important part here is not to lose sight of that. While you will meet many people you want to emulate and who will be great role models for you,
no one else can live yourlife for you. Don’t be afraid to bring your 'you-ness' to everything you do and letnothing hold you back."
In order to fuel thecommunity spirit on cam-pus, new students spentthe morning followingconvocation ceremoniesparticipating in icebreak-er exercises as part of their orientation. Theyworked in groups to ac-complish tasks, such as moving plastic cups usingonly string, without di-rectly touching the cups,and passed hula-hoopsdown a line of peoplestanding, hand-and-hand,without breaking the hu-man chain. The exercisesare designed to demon-strate the importance of team work and criticalthinking; concepts thateducators at Penn StateDuBois believe are para-mount to a well-rounded education.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A man who appeared to be under the infl uence of drugs or alcohol walked into a car dealership with a bucket containing $39,000 then threatened to blow up the place and pulled a gun while claim-ing a worker shorted him some cash, police said.
Perry Semelsberger, 53, of Patton remained in the Blair County Prison on Thursday on charg-es including terroristic threats and reckless en-dangerment. He also was charged with indecent assault because he al-legedly pushed a wad of $100 bills into the cleav-age of a female employee during the Tuesday night disturbance at Courtesy Motor Sales in Altoona, about 85 miles east of Pittsburgh.
According to police, Semelsberger went to the dealership with piles of cash in a blue bucket and asked to buy a vehicle.
Semelsberger “was acting very strange and appeared to be under the infl uence of drugs or alcohol” when he picked up a plastic bin of Legos in a waiting room and dumped it out, a criminal complaint said. Semels-berger poured his money into the Lego bin before he “lifted it above himself and dumped the money on his head,” police wrote.
Semelsberger then started walking around and giving money to cus-tomers and employees,
including the woman who had money stuffed into her dress, police said.
Semelsberger gave the sales manager money for the purchase, then while the man was count-ing it shouted, “Don’t be shorting me or I’ll light a fi re under your (exple-tive).” Semelsberger then pulled out a loaded .380-caliber handgun and made other threats in-cluding saying he would “blow this place up” and “torch this place,” police said.
Online court records don’t list an attorney for Semelsberger. A woman who answered his home phone Thursday told The Associated Press that Se-melsberger was “overly medicated” on Zoloft, a medicine used to treat depression, anxiety and panic attacks. She de-clined to give her name or identify a defense at-torney.
The U.S. Food and Drug administration has found Zoloft can, in rare instances, produce “man-ic episodes” including “greatly increased ener-gy,” ‘’reckless behavior,” ‘’unusually grand ideas,” and “excessive happiness or irritability.”
A sales manager with the dealership declined comment.
Police Chief Timo-thy Mercer said he didn’t have any specifi c infor-mation about Semels-berger’s medical or men-tal state at the time. “But he was defi nitely not act-ing normal,” Mercer said.

Dear Annie: My parents own a good amount of land in their native country. When I was growing up, they paid for my tuition but were not very supportive emotionally. I sponsored them to come to the
U.S., and because they didn’t speak English (and still don’t), I helped them find jobs.
The problem is, my parents are giving everything they own and whatever they made during their lifetimes to my brothers as an inheritance. They are leav-ing nothing to me. I’ve decided to encourage them to move back home and live with their sons. Why should I be handling their bills, buying their groceries, picking up their prescriptions, taking them to the doctor and acting as their interpreter?
I’ve paid back every penny they spent on me, including my tuition. I’m angry that I am obli-gated to take care of them when they are leaving everything to my brothers. Please help.
-- Foolish Daughter in the Mid-west
Dear Daughter: We assume your parents come from a cul-ture that values sons more than daughters, and that daughters are expected to care for the par-ents while sons inherit property. While this is hardly fair, you cannot expect your parents to overcome their own cultural upbringing so easily. You need to think of this differently: Your parents do not owe you an in-heritance. They raised you and helped you get into college by loaning you tuition. Anything you do now is out of gratitude, love, compassion or obligation. And your brothers should wel-come the opportunity to do the same.
Dear Annie: I am a cross-dresser and like your good ad-vice to “No Life Without Wife.” I married in the early ‘80s and did not tell my wife about my cross-dressing. Nine years lat-er, I wanted her to be part of my complete life. I told her by leaving women’s clothing in the closet and telling her they were mine. She said she needed time to think about it. Nine months later, she still wouldn’t talk about it or see a therapist and said I needed professional help. That led to a divorce.
In time, I realized that if I wanted to enjoy my cross-dress-ing and be able to share my pleasure with someone, I have to tell that person early on.
When I told my current
wife about my cross-dressing, she asked whether I was gay. I told her no. She asked a lot of other questions and I answered them as truthfully as I could. She was willing to compromise, and now the two of us enjoy both of my worlds.
I would strongly advise “No Life” to tell his wife in person, privately and as soon as possi-ble. Turn off all phones, and let her know you have something important to say. Stay calm, and let her absorb the news at her own pace. He also should have the name of a therapist ready in case he or his wife wish to speak to a professional. -- Glad I Did
Dear Glad: It is important not to keep such important parts of your life hidden from
your spouse. Aside from the sur-prise, it also feels like a betrayal not to have known. Thank you for your testimonial.

For Saturday, Aug. 29, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Tension with co-workers might arise
today because of the Full Moon energy. The key to this is simply to be patient with every-one, including you. Make your day easier for yourself.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Romance might be rocky because
of today’s Full Moon. Likewise, energy sur-rounding children, vacations, sports and so-cial events might be hyped.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The Full Moon today puts you in a
tug-of-war between home and family versus career and reputation. This time you cannot ignore home and family.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be careful, because this is an acci-
dent-prone day due to the high energy of the Full Moon. When people become too emo-tional, they are distracted; and this is what can promote accidents. Be cool.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Disputes about earnings, money and
possessions are likely today because some-thing will come to a head. It might even be a dispute about the ownership of something.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today the only Full Moon opposite
your sign all year is taking place. This is why you find it challenging to deal with partners and close friends. Be loving and patient (for your own good).
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Quite likely, you will have to be more
patient than usual with co-workers and any-thing that is job-related. Actually, everyone has to be patient because of today’s Full Moon. No biggie.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) The Full Moon today will create ten-
sion with children, romantic partners and so-cial events. Just accept the fact that you can’t be all things to all people.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your dealings with authority figures
and, possibly, family members are chal-lenged because of today’s Full Moon energy. Knowing this ahead of time, demonstrate grace under pressure.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Be careful, because this is a mildly
accident-prone day for you. Therefore, be aware of whatever you say and do. Be mind-ful.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Discussions about shared property,
inheritances and insurance matters might be difficult because of heightened feelings due to today’s Full Moon energy. Postpone these discussions if you can.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Today the only Full Moon in your sign
all year is taking place. Naturally this makes you a bit hyped and emotional, which is why relations with others are difficult.
YOU BORN TODAY You are cre-ative and imaginative; nevertheless, you like predictability, structure and order in your life. You know how to adapt to fit in or accept change. This year something you’ve been in-volved with for about nine years will end or di-minish in order to make room for something new. Take it easy and learn to serve others. This is a good year to travel.

BRADFORD – The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford has named Ryan K. Sowers as its new assistant director for an-nual giving.
A 2015 graduate of Bowling Green State Uni-versity, Sowers was an in-tern with Bowling Green’s corporate and foundation relations and served as the chairman and founder of the university’s fi rst un-dergraduate capital cam-paign, raising $40,000 in two years while being involved in other campus organizations.
He attended Bowling Green on a full scholar-ship through the Alumni
Laureate Scholarship program for leadership, merit, academics and vol-unteerism. In May, the
Bowling Green ice hockey team awarded him the Dr. Tom Wojciechowski Rec-ognition Award for reviv-ing the student section, the Bleacher Creatures.
“I hope to continue growing the annual giving program and bring more donations into the univer-sity,” Sowers said. “I’d also like to create a stronger student giving program. I’m excited, humbled and honored to be a part of Pitt-Bradford and cannot wait for the academic year to begin.”
In his spare time, Sowers likes to play gui-tar, cook and watch hock-ey.

NEW YORK (AP) — In an era when anyone can go online and fi nd video of terrorist beheadings, police shootings and other car-nage, major news organi-zations applied their own standards to coverage of this week’s killing of a TV news crew in Virginia and showed only carefully selected por-tions of the footage.
They were diffi cult newsroom decisions, in-formed by competitive pres-sures, questions of news-worthiness and taste, and an understanding that for all the talk about the great convergence of media, a fundamental difference still exists between TV and the Internet.
“We went back and forth on this — whether to run it, not run it, or just use frame grabs,” said Al Ortiz, CBS vice president of stan-dards and practices. “It’s not a decision you make lightly. An argument was made that we were doing the gun-man’s work for him. But the decision we came around to was that it was editori-ally important to show how methodical, planned and de-liberate this was. That’s the only reason we used it.”
The killings of WDBJ reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward were literally a made-for-television moment. They were shot to death on live TV by a gunman who also re-corded the attack and post-ed his video on social media. The TV station’s footage and the gunman’s were watched online in full by countless numbers of people around the globe as news executives decided what to show.
Before the shooting was three hours old, CNN be-gan showing WDBJ’s foot-age of Parker conducting an interview and then trying to scramble away as gun-fi re erupted. The network warned viewers of its graph-ic nature and promised not to air it more than once an hour. CNN did not air the gunman’s own video.
Some news organiza-tions, like CBS and NBC, ran a portion of the WDBJ video but did not use audio of the shooting and scream-ing. ABC froze the video be-fore the shooting began but aired audio of the attack. CBS showed part of the gun-man’s footage but stopped it before the fi rst shot, Ortiz said.
Judge blocks Obama administration regulation on smaller waterways
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A federal judge in North Dakota on Thurs-day blocked a new Obama administration rule that would give the federal government jurisdiction over some smaller water-ways just hours before it was set to go into effect.
U.S. District Judge Ralph Erickson in Fargo issued a temporary in-junction against a the rule that would have giv-en the U.S. Environmen-tal Protection Agency and Army Corps of Engineers authority over some streams, tributaries and wetlands under the Clean Water Act. The rule was scheduled to take effect Friday.
"The risk of irrepa-rable harm to the states is both imminent and likely," Erickson said in granting the request of 13 states to temporarily stop the rule from tak-ing effect. The judge said that among other things, the rule would require "jurisdictional studies" of every proposed natural gas, oil or water pipeline project in North Dakota, which is at the center of an energy exploration boom.
The 13 states led by North Dakota asked Er-ickson to suspend guide-lines that they say are unnecessary and infringe on state sovereignty. The federal government says
the new rule clarifi es am-biguity in the law and actually makes it easier for the states to man-age some waterways. It wasn't immediately clear if the injunction applied to states other than the 13 that requested the in-junction.
North Dakota At-torney General Wayne Stenehjem, who fi led the request, said he was pleased by the ruling.
"This is a victory in the fi rst skirmish, but it is only the fi rst," Stene-hjem said in a statement. "There is much more to do to prevent this widely unpopular rule from ever taking effect."
Stenehjem said his reading of the ruling was that it applied to all 50 states, not just the 13 that sued. The EPA didn't immediately comment.
The agriculture in-dustry has been particu-larly concerned about the regulation, saying that it could apply to drain-age ditches on farmland. The EPA and Army Corps said the only ditches that would be covered under the rule are those that look, act and function like tributaries and carry pollution downstream. A tributary would be regu-lated if it shows evidence of fl owing water such as a bank or high water mark, the EPA says.
The other states in-
volved in the lawsuit are Alaska, Arizona, Ar-kansas, Colorado, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, Ne-braska, New Mexico, Ne-vada, South Dakota and Wyoming.
Erickson cited Wyo-ming in his ruling, say-ing the state would have to bear the cost of things such as issuing permits and has no way of avoid-ing the increased expens-es under the regulation.
State offi cials in North Dakota said the new rule will cost the state millions of dollars and take away from more important programs. State Agriculture Com-missioner Doug Goehring said there's "confusion and anxiety" among farm-ers and other landowners over the initiative.
At the very least, state offi cials argued, more time was needed to study the rule, which was fi nalized on May 27.
Stenehjem — along with attorneys general and offi cials from 30 other states — wrote last month to the EPA and the Army Corps asking that the law be postponed at least nine months. Lawyers for the states said they heard nothing back from the government, so they fi led a request for the prelimi-nary injunction.
The federal govern-ment said the request for an injunction was better suited to be heard by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rather than a federal judge, but Erick-son rejected that notion.
Fox News used no video or audio of the event during daytime hours but, after 6 p.m., used a combination of video before the attack, still photos and audio. NBC and MSNBC froze the video and audio before the attack, but a gunshot could be heard on its websites.
The differences in the way TV and the Internet handled the material are important, executives said: People online are making conscious choices about what to see, while TV view-ers can be taken by surprise.
“You don’t know who’s in the room,” said former CBS News President An-drew Heyward, now a con-sultant to media companies. “You don’t know the ages of the people watching. So there’s always been a very high standard of restraint.”
The Associated Press provided to the public a ver-sion of the gunman’s video that froze when the shoot-ing began, but continued with audio. For broadcast subscribers, the AP supplied complete version through a closed-circuit channel, al-lowing TV stations to edit it to their own standards, said Tom Kent, AP’s standards editor.
“The video was news-worthy and key to under-standing the story,” he said.
Many journalists argue that their job is to be a pipe-line of news to the public, not a fi lter. Marcy McGin-nis, a former news execu-tive at CBS and Al Jazeera America, said she wonders if the public reaction to events like the Connecti-cut school shooting would have been different if pic-tures had been more readily available.
“Is it good that nobody ever saw it, or is it bad that nobody ever saw it?” she said. “Would something more have been done if peo-ple had seen the carnage?”
But McGinnis said news organizations aren’t YouTube, and people expect
professionals to weigh is-sues of taste along with the need to tell stories.
“I can see people argu-ing for showing more things on TV if it’s available ev-erywhere else,” she said, adding: “I still don’t think I would show somebody get-ting shot or show the face of a dead person.”
Broadcasters also are constrained by government licensing of the airwaves, Heyward noted. Too many complaints from the public aren’t good. In fact, profes-sional editing is a way for networks to distinguish themselves from online out-lets, he said.
Meanwhile, a newspa-per front page Thursday proved that still photogra-phy retains the capacity to shock.
The New York Daily News ran the headline “Ex-ecuted on Live TV” with three pictures of Parker from the point of view of the gunman. One had a gun raised and pointed at her, the other showed the mo-ment the gun went off, and the third illustrated her horrifi ed face when she saw what was happening.
“I hate that I just saw NY Daily News cover,”tweeted Jeff Darlington, a reporter for the NFL Net-work. “What a repulsive decision. I went the whole day managing to avoid any image of it. Then that.”
Daily News spokes-woman Anne Muscarella said the decision wasn’t made lightly and noted the images were widely circu-lated online.
“We feel passionately about strengthening gun control, imploring politi-cians to improve mental health services and high-lighting the extraordinary scale of daily gun violence,” she said. “That is why we published the images — to convey the true scale of what happened in Roa-noke.”
