HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – Gov. Tom Corbett says he’ll consider a radio-show caller’s suggestion that gun shows be banned on publicly owned property.   The caller on WITF’s “Smart Talk” radio show Friday asked the governor why gun shows are allowed at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg and whether he’d support a ban.

Corbett said no one has ever suggested the idea to him before and promised to give it some thought. However, he said the Farm Show Complex is open to all businesses. He noted that prospective gun buyers at gun shows must be cleared through the Pennsylvania State Police instant background check system – just as they are when buying weapons from gun shops.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – A Pennsylvania state senator is suing the NCAA in Commonwealth Court over its use of the $60 million fine that Penn State is paying for its handling of the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.  Sen. Jake Corman sued the NCAA Friday, saying his goal is “to ensure that Pennsylvania funds are appropriately and lawfully spent for commonwealth purposes.”

Corman is a Republican who represents State College, home to PennState’s main campus. He’s chairman of the Appropriations Committee, which directs state budget spending.  His lawsuit says the state gives PennState so much money every year that “it would be impossible for the payments to be derived solely from non-commonwealth funds.”  An NCAA spokeswoman offered no immediate comment late Friday.  Sandusky was convicted in June of sexual abuse of children.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – A pair of pretrial filings by defendants accused of covering up complaints about Jerry Sandusky focus on the actions of Cynthia Baldwin, PennState’s former chief counsel.  Tim Curley and Gary Schultz both filed documents Friday that further outline their claim their rights were violated when Baldwin accompanied them to grand jury appearances two years ago.

The two university administrators say they were illegally deprived of their right to have adequate legal representation. At issue is whether Baldwin was acting as their lawyer, or solely on behalf of the university.  Curley is on leave to serve out the last year of his contract as athletic director. Schultz is retired as the school’s vice president for business and finance.  They’re asking Dauphin County Judge Todd Hoover to hold an evidentiary hearing.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) – Reporters won’t be allowed to bring laptops or cellphones into the courtroom during next week’s hearing on Jerry Sandusky’s post-sentencing motions.  Judge John Cleland announced the decorum order Friday, saying it was required because reporters violated the rules when Sandusky was sentenced in October by tweeting.

Cleland says a “disheartening number of reporters” violated his order that no communications be made from inside the courtroom while court was in session. He says so many reporters ignored the order that it’s impractical to attempt to punish them all for it. The hearing Thursday in Bellefonte involves a claim by Sandusky that his lawyers didn’t have enough time to prepare for trial. The former PennState assistant coach is serving a 30- to 60-year prison sentence on 45 child sex abuse counts.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) – One of the longest and most bitter labor disputes in Atlantic City, N.J. is over.

SALTLAKECITY (AP) – High school students in Utah will be able to put on a play containing Elvis songs after all. At first, school administrators canceled the show called “All Shook Up” after a parent complained about it being too sexual. Then they changed their minds and said the show will go on. The administrators got permission from the copyright owners of the show to edit some of the songs and change some scenes. The musical uses Elvis music to tell the story of Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.”

WASHINGTON (AP) – One of the last people you’ll see on “30 Rock” will be House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. She’ll have a cameo in the series finale January 31. She’s not the first politician to be on the show. Al Gore, Condoleezza Rice, and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg have also made cameos.

RESTON, Virginia (AP) – A new study finds online shopping was up this past holiday season – but not up as much as expected. The report from ComScore finds holiday shoppers coughed up $42.3 billion online in November and December. That represents a 14-percent increase from the same months a year ago. The holiday season started strong in November – but early December sales dipped along with consumer confidence, only to rebound during the final days of the season. Among the biggest sales days were “Free Shipping Day” on December 17 and Christmas Day itself, when sales rose 36 percent. It was expected that online sales would go up about 16 percent this year – but the estimates were off, with the increase being only 14 percent.
