may extend jobless benefits HARRISBURG A bill extending unemployment benefits in Pennsylvania by seven weeks is nearing a state Senate vote after Democrats accused Republicans of bot- tling up the measure. The Senate Labor and Industry voted unanimously Mon- day to pass the bill out of committee. However, the committee amended the bill so that thou- sands of people who have already exhausted their 72 weeks of benefits earlier this month will also be eligible for the additional seven weeks. A full Senate vote is expected Wednesday, although the amendment means another House vote is neces- sary before Gov. Ed Rendell can sign it.

The House passed the bill July 7.

Lions take pride in partying PENN STATE By Kimberly Hefling The Associated Press WASHINGTON Military leaders and a major military contractor failed to protect a Green Beret who was electro- cuted while showering in his barracks in Iraq, the Defense Inspector Gen- eral determined in a report re- leased Monday.

The early 2008 death of Staff Sgt. Ryan Maseth, 24, of Pittsburgh, triggered an inves- tigation by the IG of death, but also a review of 17 other electrocution deaths in Iraq. Uproar over it also led to the electrical inspections of about 90,000 U.S.-maintained facilities in Iraq. The inspector general says in its findings that sys- tems and failed and exposed Maseth to ceptable Maseth was electrocuted while showering when he came in contact with an energized metal shower and hose caused by the failure of an ungrounded water pump located on the roof of the building, the IG said. It says military contractor KBR based in Houston, installed the pump and adjacent water tanks.

KBR did not ground equip- ment during installation or report improperly grounded equipment during routine main- tenance, the inspector general said.

shows that the strategic invest- ments that been making are actually paying Gains since last year on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment tests were typically a percentage point or two, al- though the share of seventh- graders who are proficient or advanced in math rose from 70.6 percent to 75.5 percent. Looking farther back, the percentage of fifth-graders at grade level in math has in- creased from 53.1 percent in 2002 to 73.6 percent today. The segment of eighth-graders who reached the same benchmark in reading has increased from 58.8 percent to 80.9 percent over the same period. Statewide figures were re- leased Monday, but school-by- school scores are not expected to be made public until next month. Education Secretary Gerald Zahorchak said he hoped the results would bolster the case for the hundreds of millions of dollars in increased state edu- cation funding that Gov.

Ed Rendell wants despite Pennsyl- recession-driven fall-off in state tax collections. Zahorchak said the gains were made with the help of state aid for early childhood education, tutoring and other budget-hit programs. scores jump across board STANDARDIZED TESTS WINGED VISITOR ASSOCIATED PRESS A swallowtail butterfly visits a cornflower in an herb garden in Pittsburgh on Sunday.
