McHenry County State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi vividly remembers the day he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. It was eight years ago – and just four days after he had announced his candidacy to be the county’s top prosecutor. He withdrew from the race, not knowing whether he would survive. “Your first thought is that you aren’t going to live as long,” Bianchi, 69, said. “Most people fear that ‘c’ word. As the shock wears off a little bit, you have to understand that you have to look at the alternatives and see what options are out there.” Because the cancer Lou Bianchi was detected early, Bi- Prostate cananchi learned, his sur- cer survivor vival rate was high if his prostate was removed. He had the surgery and was declared cancer-free months later. “It’s all about early detection,” Bianchi said. “I will never forget what the doctor said to me after the surgery, ‘Your report is to get back in the race.’ I went back to work and resumed my campaign.”

Bianchi is one of tens of thousands of men each year diagnosed with prostate cancer, the most common cancer in American men other than skin cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. But emphasis placed on early detection and swift treatments have many experts confident they can keep the disease in check.

More than 240,000 new cases of prostate cancer were diagnosed in 2012, according to the cancer society, and more than 28,000 died last year. It is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in American men, behind lung cancer. One in six men will be diagnosed with the disease in his lifetime; twothirds of those diagnosed are 65 or older. The average age of diagnosis is 67 years old. Prostate cancer is rare in men younger than 40. Survival rates vary based on how far the cancer has progressed when diagnosed. In the local stage or regional stage, when the cancer has not spread beyond the prostate or has spread only to nearby areas, the five-year survival rate is nearly 100 percent, according to the National Cancer Institute.

Economic future bleak as Illinois takes fiscal hit By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – A major credit rating agency has soured on the economic forecast for Illinois after another failed attempt this week to rectify the $96 billion pension system deficit. Fitch Ratings announced Friday that it has relabeled Illinois’ financial outlook to “negative” from “stable.” The outlook does not affect Fitch’s opinion of the state’s credit worthiness, still listed as “A.” That’s two steps below the grade for the best-quality borrowers – sound, but reflective of a climate where state finances are vulnerable to economic changes. The announcement serves as an advance warning to

Now, no good deed goes uncelebrated

I like a good high five. Why, I can even go for a high five, up high, down low, too slow. But call me a crabby old sports fan, because lately when I sit down to watch an NFL football game, I am getting more and more annoyed at the celebratory antics of players who thoroughly over-rejoice at the most routine plays. That’s not to say that I haven’t enjoyed some of the entertaining frolics of players in the past. I remember back in the ’80s when Billy White Shoes Johnson did the “Funky Chicken Dance” and Ickey Woods did the “Ickey Shuffle” after his team scored touchdowns. I even chuckled at Chad Johnson’s version of “Riverdance” in the end zone when he scored against the Bears. Those kind of good-natured escapades added to the fun of the moment. But these celebrations have evolved from just fun to pure egoistic displays. I think it started with Terrell Owens back in 2002 when, after scoring a touchdown, he reached into his sock, pulled out a Sharpie, and then signed the football. Toss in Deon Sanders and his Prime Time High

JuST HuMOR ME Michael Penkava Step, and we moved from just plain fun to “Hey, everybody, look at how incredible I am!” That brings us to a concept I call “Extreme Over-Rejoicing.” This is when someone simply does his job, but feels he has just performed something so wonderful that even he can’t believe it. Case in point. Let’s say there’s this defensive end. His job is to sack the quarterback. During the play, an offensive lineman misses his block and the defensive end gets the sack. That’s what he is getting paid for, right? You would think he’d get some high fives, maybe a pat on the butt, and return to the defensive huddle to get ready for the next play. But no. After the play he must stutter step for 20 yards or so, flexing his arms and bobbing his head up and down like a rooster taking credit for the sunrise. It’s as though he just parted

the Red Sea and walked on the moon while painting the Mona Lisa. Maybe he did make a great play, but at the end of the day, he was just doing what he was supposed to do. You can’t imagine Beethoven doing the moonwalk when he scored a concerto, could you? But that got me thinking … What if we common people bought into the “Extreme Over- Rejoicing” concept. Take, for example, when we cut the grass. Let’s say we do a pretty good job … the lawn looks great. How about we extreme over-rejoice a little bit? I say let’s spread our arms out wide and spin ’round and ’round, kind of like the lawnmower blade. After a while we drop to a knee, look down at the grass, and nod our head as we point down at the lawn saying, “In your face, this is my turf!” What if wives extreme over-rejoiced after preparing a good dinner? They could stick a fork in the leftover pieces of meatloaf, wave them around in the air, and then spike ’em into a plastic food container. Not in my kitchen! And so it would go … librarians wag their finger at the stacks after they lo-

Abducted boy found alive 19 years later By AMY FORLITI and KYLE POTTER

The Associated Press LONG PRAIRIE, Minn. – A 24-year-old man discovered living in Minnesota under an assumed name was abducted by his paternal grandparents almost two decades ago when his unemployed mother was living in a car in Indiana, authorities said Friday. The grandparents could face federal charges in the

case, a Minnesota sheriff said. Richard Wayne Landers Jr. now lives in the small northern Minnesota town of Long Prairie under the name Michael Jeff Landers, the Todd County Sheriff’s Office said Friday. Indiana State Police announced Landers had been found Thursday. Landers had lived with his grandparents since birth. But in July 1994, after a dispute between Landers’ mother and the grandparents over his cus-

Russell, who investigated Landers’ disappearance in 1994 when he was a road deputy for the LaGrange County Sheriff’s Department. The then-5-year-old boy’s mother and stepfather were unemployed and lived in a

It was wrong for them to do it, but I can understand why,” he said. “But I also didn’t think the child would be in any danger at all with them.” Landers’ stepfather, Richard Harter, did not respond to phone calls Friday from an Associated Press reporter. A phone number for Landers’ mother, Lisa Harter, could not be located.

Obama: U.S. moving to Afghan support role By JULIE PACE and ROBERT BURNS The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Friday they have agreed to speed up slightly the schedule for moving Afghanistan’s security forces into the lead across the country, with U.S. troops shifting fully to a support role. The leaders also said Obama agreed to place battlefield detainees under the control of the Afghan government. Obama, appearing in the East Room of the White House with Karzai at his side, said accelerating the transition to Afghan security control this

8BRIEFS Judge OKs exhumation of lottery winner’s body

CHICAGO – A judge Friday granted prosecutors permission to exhume the body of a Chicago lottery winner who was fatally poisoned with cyanide just as he was about to collect his $425,000 payout in a bid for clues that might help solve the mystery. Authorities want to do a fuller autopsy on Urooj Khan to confirm earlier but lessthorough toxicology tests, and to rule out that natural causes contributed to the 46-year-old’s sudden death, according to court documents.

Jan. 11 marks decade since Ill. death row shut

KANKAKEE – It was ten years ago that former Gov. George Ryan commuted the sentences of 167 Illinois death row inmates. Friday’s anniversary marks one decade since Ryan said he had to act because Illinois’ capital system was “haunted by the demon of error.” The now-imprisoned former governor made his announcement in a speech at Northwestern University’s law school Jan. 11, 2003. He said the state’s justice system made errors determining guilt and errors determining who among the guilty deserved to die.

Judge delays arraignment in Colo. theater shooting

CENTENNIAL, Colo. – A judge Friday delayed the arraignment of the man charged with the Colorado theater shooting until March despite objections from prosecutors and most of the victims and their families. District Judge William Sylvester ruled Thursday night that prosecutors had presented sufficient evidence at a preliminary hearing to proceed toward trial on charges that James Holmes killed 12 people and injured 70 others at a suburban Denver movie theater on July 20. Holmes, who is charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder and attempted murder, won’t have to enter a plea until March 12.

Reports of hit list probed in Calif. school shooting

The boy’s name was not released.

spring would set the stage for further withdrawal of U.S. and other foreign forces,although he did not say how quickly a U.S. drawdown would be carried out this year and Barack next. There are Obama now 66,000 U.S. troops there. “Starting this spring our troops will have a different mission: training, advising and assisting Hamid Afghan forces,” Karzai Obama said. “It will be a historic moment.” He added later that even

in a backup role he could not rule out that U.S. troops could be drawn into combat. But he emphasized that their main role would be support, such as training and advising. Karzai said he was pleased by the agreement, in part because it means that by spring there will be no foreign troops in Afghan villages. Asked about the decision to accelerate the transition to Afghan security control – a shift that previously was scheduled to happen this summer – Obama said it was not yet clear what it would mean for the pace of U.S. troop withdrawals this year. He said that was “something that isn’t yet fully determined” and is awaiting further internal deliberation.

Casting the move in a positive light, Obama said plans remain on schedule to have Afghan forces fully responsible for security nationwide by the end of December 2014 – with no backup, theoretically, by U.S. or other international forces – at which point, “this war will come to a responsible end.” The capabilities of the Afghan army are “exceeding initial expectations,” the two said in a joint statement released after their private White House meeting and working lunch and in advance of a joint news conference. As a result, Obama said he acceded to Karzai’s desire to put Afghan forces in the combat lead across his country this spring, rather than wait

until summer. In their statement the leaders said they discussed the possibility of a continued U.S. troop presence beyond December 2014, when the U.S. and allied combat mission is to end. But they did not settle on any specifics. The U.S. now has 66,000 troops in Afghanistan. U.S. commanders in Afghanistan have proposed keeping 6,000 to 15,000 U.S. troops after 2014 to continuing pursuing terrorists and training Afghan security forces. But the White House, which tends to favor lower troop levels than the generals do, says Obama would be open to pulling all U.S. forces out of Afghanistan at the end of 2014.

“We wouldn’t rule out any option,” Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security adviser, said earlier this week. “We’re not guided by the goal of a certain number of U.S. troops in the country. We’re guided by the objectives that the president set – disrupt, dismantle, defeat al-Qaida.” Friday’s meeting was the first between Obama and Karzai since November’s U.S. presidential election. Heading into his second term, Obama is shaking up his national security team, including key players who deal with Karzai and the war. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta are both expected to leave their posts within weeks.

Report: Ill. corn production plunged in ’12 By JIM SUHR

The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – Illinois corn production plunged 34 percent last year as a severe drought cost the state bragging rights as the country’s second-biggest grower of the grain, the federal government announced Friday in its final crop report for 2012. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said that despite planting more corn acreage than during the previous two years, Illinois finished 2012 fourth among corn states, accounting for 1.29 billion bushels of the 10.79 billion reaped nationwide. Iowa still solidly led the pack with 1.87 billion bushels, followed by Minnesota’s 1.37 billion and Nebraska’s 1.29 billion, which was roughly 6 million more than Illinois. Illinois farmers averaged 105 bushels per acre last year, down dramatically from the 157-bushel average growers had in producing 1.9 billion bushels each of the previous two years. The state’s soybeans also suffered, with 383.6 million

Growers averaged 43 bushels per acre in 2012, off from 47.5 in 2011 and 51.5 the previous year.

Illinois had big hopes heading into last spring’s planting season, sowing 12.8 million acres of corn – 200,000 more than in each of the previous two years. But last year’s dry spring that enabled farmers

Sen. John Kerry’s words on Syria’s Assad to draw scrutiny By DONNA CASSATA The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Sen. John Kerry has held up Syria as a country that could bring peace and stability to the Mideast and once predicted that the now-disgraced government of President Bashar Assad would pursue a legitimate relationship with the United States. Those assertions are certain to draw scrutiny at Kerry’s confirmation hearing to be secretary of state as Assad’s brutal crackdown has plunged his country into civil war. Conservative websites have mocked the relationship as a Kerry-Assad “bromance,” seizing on comments the Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman has made in speeches and during his six visits to Syria. The politically tinged criticism of President Barack Obama’s nominee fails to capture the context of Kerry’s words, his more recent statements and what has been a complicated outreach to a mercurial and defiant leader. Both Republican and Democratic administrations also have struggled to fathom the Assad family, which has kept a tight grip on power for four decades and at times has co-

Syria supported the Persian Gulf War in 1991 to force Iraq out of Kuwait after President George H.W. Bush’s secretary of state, James A. Baker III, made a dozen trips to Damascus, the Syrian capital. Syria was an outcast for years and the U.S. pulled its ambassador in February 2005 after the assassination of Lebanon Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Syria was widely accused of involvement in the

killing, which Damascus has denied. The nearly two-year civil war in Syria and the anger and frustration of some Republican lawmakers with Obama’s response is likely to produce several questions for Kerry. One of the newest committee members and a Kerry friend, Sen. John McCain, RAriz., has been the most vocal critic of Obama on Syria, complaining that the president’s policies have proved futile in stopping the bloodshed.

to plant their crops weeks early propelled 2012 into becoming the state’s second warmest and 10th driest year on record, with the average statewide precipitation 10 inches less than normal.

In northern Illinois, farmer Earl Williams has spent the early part of this year glancing skyward, hoping rain will soften up his bonedry soil before the planting season and help make up for the frustration he experienced last year. So far, he’s not having much luck, saying the inch of rain that fell this week on his roughly 1,000 acres near Rockford was just the second such amount there since last April. “I’ve yet to run into anyone around me that wasn’t ready for 2013 to come,” Williams, a 62-year-old former Illinois Soybean Association president, told The Associated Press as he headed to Nashville for an annual gathering of the American Farm Bureau Federation. Helped by crop insurance, Williams managed to break even last year despite soybean yields that turned out to be seven or eight bushels below average. His cornfields took a bigger hit, producing 50 to 60 bushels per acre short of the 150 to 160 bushels per acre that he’d typically reap.

Sandi Jackson resigns seat on Chicago City Council By DON BABWIN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – The wife of former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. announced Friday that she was resigning from the Chicago City Council, saying she could not adequately represent her district while dealing with “very painful health matters.” Alderman Sandi Jackson, whose husband recently resigned from Congress while being treated for bipolar disorder and other medical issues, said in a letter to Mayor Rahm Emanuel that her resignation would be effective Tuesday. “I am unapologetically a wife and a mother and I cannot deny my commitment to those most important personal responsibilities,” she wrote. Aside from citing health matters, she did not elaborate. Her husband announced his resignation in November shortly after winning re-election, citing his health concerns but also acknowledging that he was under federal investigation. The Chicago Democrat and son of civil rights leader the Rev. Jesse Jackson stepped down amid a months-long medical leave that included two stays at

Her husband – once a rising star in local politics whose name was mentioned as a viable candidate for Chicago mayor – became ensnared in the corruption probe that led to the resignation and federal conviction of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Jackson was never charged, but investigators suggested he may have been involved in discussions about raising money for the then-governor in exchange for President Barack Obama’s former U.S. Senate seat.

3 years after the quake, Haiti plans memorial By TRENTON DANIEL The Associated Press

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – The Haitian government plans a low-key ceremony today for the third anniversary of the earthquake that devastated the country and killed hundreds of thousands of people. President Michel Martelly will preside over a subdued memorial on the grounds of the former National Palace, which was destroyed in the disaster and later demolished. Senior government officials and diplomats are expected to attend. Martelly said he hopes the poor Caribbean nation’s people use the anniversary of the Jan. 12, 2010, disaster to think about how they can improve their lives. “The main thing for me is to use this day to plunge Haitians into deep reflection,” Martelly said Friday. “I need tomorrow to bring my country, my people enough reflection where they decide to do things in other ways.” Martelly is to give a speech today and then go to a mass grave north of the capital to

Last year, the U.N. held a service to remember its 102 employees who died – the biggest loss of life of U.N. personnel in a single disaster. Haiti’s government says the quake killed about 316,000 people. An additional 1.5

million people landed in impromptu settlements around the capital and other cities in the south. People have moved out of the more visible camps in public plazas but there are still more than 350,000 people living in the camps, according to the International Organization of Migration, a humanitarian group that helps people displaced by disaster and conflict.

8WORLD BRIEFS Syria talks end in Geneva without solution

GENEVA – International envoy Lakhdar Brahimi said Friday that Russia seems as determined as the United States to end Syria’s civil war, but that he doesn’t expect a political solution to emerge anytime soon. Brahimi, who is the joint U.N.Arab League envoy for Syria, spent the day at the United Nations’ European headquarters meeting with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov and U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns. Brahimi’s five hours of talks with Bogdanov and Burns on Friday ended without any apparent deal. It was Brahimi’s second meeting in as many months with Bogdanov and Burns, who each left without making any public comments.

Venezuela’s VP in Cuba to see Chavez, family

CARACAS, Venezuela – Venezuela’s vice president flew to Cuba on Friday to visit the ailing Hugo Chavez and his family, while the leaders of Argentina and Peru also traveled to Havana saying they hoped to ask about the Venezuelan president’s condition. The 58-year-old president is

fighting a severe respiratory infection a month after he underwent cancer surgery in Havana, his government says. Chavez hasn’t spoken publicly or been seen since before his Dec. 11 operation, his fourth cancer-related surgery since June 2011 for an undisclosed type of pelvic cancer.

Hackers sentenced for digital music theft

LONDON – A British court sentenced two hackers to 100 hours of community service Friday for stealing a treasure trove of unreleased music – including Michael Jackson tracks – from the U.S. servers of Sony Music Entertainment. Officials said that music aficionados James Marks, 27, and James McCormick, 26, used their home computers to access Sony’s servers and scour them for Jackson-related material. The pair downloaded almost 8,000 files, including completed or partial tracks, artwork, and videos relating to Jackson and other unspecified Sony artists.

Landslide in hilly south China kills at least 44

Oscar nomination boosts Chile’s film industry

SANTIAGO, Chile – Chile is getting its first shot at an Oscar for best foreign-language film, along with global attention and a boost to its thriving film industry with the nomination of “No.” News of the film’s nomination Thursday was widely celebrated by Chileans, but also had been expected by many since the movie became a surprise hit at Cannes. “No” revisits a publicity campaign that helped oust Gen. Augusto Pinochet from power after 16 years as a dictator. Gael Garcia Bernal plays Rene Saavedra, a formerly exiled advertising hot shot drawn into a 1988 referendum TV campaign who tries to persuade people to vote “No” to eight more years of Pinochet.

Illinois that a downgrade could be on the horizon unless it resolves the gaping difference between its pension system’s assets and what it will eventually owe state employee retirees. “It’s important that our bond-rating agencies give us as much time as possible in order to stabilize the pension system,” Gov. Pat Quinn told reporters Friday at a stop Friday in Bedford Park, about 14 miles southwest of Chicago. Now, the Democrat and former high school distance runner compares the pension quest to a marathon. Quinn had declared a pension-reform deadline Wednesday, the end of the last legislative term, anticipating negative responses from credit agencies. He said that deadline was set because Fitch and other agencies were “poised to take a look at us and we want to tell our legislators this is not

a time to run in place. This is time to get the job done for the people back home.” A downgrade from “A” could mean a higher interest rate to borrow money. The state typically borrows money for big items such as construction projects by selling bonds backed by promised future tax revenue. But decades of underfunding the pension system means that to catch up, Illinois must put up nearly one-third of its general revenue annually, putting a squeeze on money for services such as education and health care. The latest attempt at pension repair fizzled in the final hours of the legislative session on Tuesday. The plan would have required larger contributions from state employees and reduced eventual retirement benefits, but top House lawmakers had agreed to temporarily set aside the Republican-opposed idea of shifting the employers’ portion of contributions for teachers to local school districts.

“Many times, ideas can be very far apart, but over a period of time, with patience, you listen and work toward a solution and build a consensus,” he said. Roskam’s love of politics started at an early age, although he didn’t grow up in a political family. “I was the kid in fourth grade who couldn’t get enough of our state of Illinois project, and the one in eighth grade who loved the Constitution test,” he said. “My mom and dad voted, and that was it. I didn’t grow up in a Kennedy household.” Roskam graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign before earning a law degree from Chicago-Kent College of Law. He met his wife in Washington, D.C., while she was an interior designer. The couple has four children. “I have been very fortunate because my family has been incredibly supportive,” Roskam said. “My kids have been involved basically their entire lives. This has been

“One of his strengths is getting to know people,” she said. “I truly believe he works for the common good, and he asks really good questions to get to the heart of the issues and a better understanding of where the voters are coming from.” The early portion of Roskam’s career was spent being mentored by former Rep. Henry Hyde, an Illinois Republican who served for more than 30 years. Hyde led the impeachment proceedings against President Bill Clinton and cham-

pioned government restrictions on funding abortions. It was during his time with Hyde, who died in 2007, that Roskam said he learned what it meant to represent the people. “I saw up close how one person could make a significant difference in the direction of our country,” Roskam said. “He was brilliant, quick on his feet, quick to laugh and also very good to his staff. When he spoke, his colleagues listened. That attitude and demeanor is something we should all emulate.” Before being elected to the House, Roskam spent time in Springfield alongside thenstate-Sen. Barack Obama. The two were members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, where they worked successfully on significant death penalty reforms. “The president and I were able to come together across party lines and philosophical lines to work toward something for the common good,” Roskam said. “The things I have been involved with in the past have prepared me for how important this moment is right now.”

Prostate cancer diagnosed in the distant stage – having spread to lymph nodes, bones or others organs – has a fiveyear survival rate of 29 percent.

A LOSING BATTLE

Christopher Ducey lost a more than five-year battle with prostate cancer in October. The McHenry resident had three key loves in his life – a wife, a daughter and a 1954 Ford Crestline convertible. When it came to visiting the doctor, it was something the 68-year-old avoided unless necessary. His daughter, Jacki Ducey, said she believes doctors may have been able to stop her father’s cancer from spreading to his bones if he had not wait-

Advanced prostate cancer symptoms include trouble urinating, more frequent urination, blood in the urine, weakening of legs or feet, or loss of bladder control. “He just thought age was creeping up on him, and then it got to be too much,” Jacki Ducey said. “It was hard because as a family, we could support him, but couldn’t help him in any other way. I wish I could have fixed it, but you just feel powerless.” The once-strong man slow-

ly began to deteriorate after years of chemotherapy and participation in clinical trials. “It was very hard,” said Verlene Ducey, his wife. “I would try to keep his spirits up, always hoping that something would come along to help.” The average man should start discussing screenings about age 50, and men with family members who have had prostate cancer and African-American men should start between the ages of 40 to 45, the cancer society advises. Screening typically con-

Data released last year by the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force suggest that potential harm of PSA screening of healthy men outweighs the potential to save lives, and recommends eliminating the test in healthy men. Some physicians vehemently disagree. “The worst thing we could do as a health care system for these men is to ignore it, and wait until a guy comes in with symptoms,” said Dr. Brian Keuer, a urologist at Advocate Health’s Comprehensive Urologic Care. “That will take us back 20 or 30 years, and we won’t have a lot of successful treatment options to offer these men.”

Early testing can detect lower-level prostate cancer that may not affect the patient and allow professionals to monitor the disease over time. “Everyone thinks prostate cancer is slow-growing, but that isn’t always the case,” said Dr. David Goldrath, a urologist at Advocate Health’s Urologic Care. “Once you know you have cancer, you need to get it taken care of relatively quickly so it doesn’t progress.”

FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT

Carl Smith began being regularly tested for prostate cancer more than 10 years ago. The 60-year-old’s PSA levels consistently tested low until December 2011, when they skyrocketed. He had prostate cancer, and his prostate was surgically removed a month later. The McHenry resident

has been cancer-free since. “When you are told you have cancer, your initial response is shock,” Smith said. “But I knew this was something I could handle. I accepted it.” Treatment can include removal of the prostate, radiation or other therapies, with each having the potential to cause problems such as erectile dysfunction, impotence, urinary incontinence or bowel damage. Left untreated, the disease can progress rapidly. “We tailor treatment based on pathology reports and the patients’ age and health conditions,” Goldrath said. “Each person is different. Recovery is remarkably faster now.” “The advancements are so great that the side effects are minimized,” Keuer said. “In general, the treatments have never been better than they are now.”

Parenting in cyberspace Parents may know more about the world, but more often kids are sharper when it comes to technology. Most parents today didn’t grow up with the Internet. In fact, many didn’t even have computers in their homes while growing up. That’s hard to imagine for kids today who are often introduced to technology as toddlers. A recent Northwest Herald story focusing on a study regarding teens For the record and the use of the Internet reached Giving children free, unsupersome conclusions vised access to the Internet is a that could be both mistake. Parents need to monitroubling and tor their teens’ Web activity. encouraging for parents. According to the study sponsored by online security company McAfee, more than 70 percent of teens said they have done something to hide their online activity. There’s something about being teens that makes them want to hide things from their parents, so that figure shouldn’t be surprising. However, the study also found that half of the teens surveyed said they would change their online behavior if they knew their parents were watching. We suspect some teen bravado in that response, and that a higher percentage would be more careful about where they took their Web browsers if they knew mom could find out. The important lesson here is that parents need to be parents in both real and cyber settings. Teens live in both worlds, so parents must, too. Parents should negotiate privacy with their children as they would in other areas, but a hands-off approach to Internet use is a mistake. Smartphones, the Internet and computers are wonderful tools. It isn’t realistic or practical to forbid teens from using technology. But whether you use monitoring software, limit computer use, or employ other methods, the Internet is another place where parents need to be parents in 2013, and it’s been that way for some time now.

The 113th Congress

The transition in Congress from one of the least productive in memory to the most diverse in history is a welcome change – but one that will be but a footnote without new members agitating the old guard for action. The previous 112th Congress was a failure of historic proportions, passing fewer bills than any in the post-World War II era. Its most noteworthy accomplishments were negative: a knock-down, drag-out in 2011 over raising the federal debt ceiling that resulted in the nation’s credit rating being lowered, and subsequent failure to resolve related budgeting issues that led to last month’s “fiscal cliff” debacle. The 113th Congress sworn in on Jan. 3 doesn’t just boast new blood, but new perspectives. More than 100 women, 43 African-Americans, 31 Latinos, 12 Asian-Americans and seven openly gay or bisexual members are among the ranks. Religious diversity is likewise broad, including the first Buddhist senator and first Hindu representative. All to the good, in terms of Congress looking a little more like the folks it represents. Now it must serve those folks.

To the Editor: Illinois has more units of government than any other state in the union. Illinois taxpayers have a tax burden of supporting 7,000 units of governments, 2,100 more than any other state. Most citizens are not aware of this. How can Illinois’ massive fiscal crisis be improved under the cost and confusion of 7,000 governments. Think about it. There are about 50,000 elected officials in Illinois. How many do you know? What is the cost for salary and benefits? Why do we continue to waste our money and resources? Is it because of our ignorance? A reduction and reform in excessive government is more than necessary, but it won’t be easy. Both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party have been mostly silent on the issue of eliminating or consolidating governments. This needs to be changed. New and bold ideas need to come about. Where should we start? Township governments should be the first to go. Township governments, established in 1850 for a rural farming community, have outlived their usefulness in today’s urban society. Our state population is about 13 million citizens. Very few live on farms. There are 1,434 township governments in Illinois protected by 11,500 paid elected officials and an

arm of township employees. Most township officials and employees live in cities, clinging, at taxpayer expense, to the idea of townships for personal gain. Township governments can best serve the public by disappearing. A statewide referendum to eliminate townships would serve the public well. Abolish townships ... unlimited possibilities.

Hole in history

To the Editor: It’s gone. And overnight McHenry’s Green Street landscape loses its largest identifiable piece of architectural and community history. The recent fire that took down the Old Central Opera House is an “in-your-face” example of how nonrenewable the historic built environment is as a resource. It is down and gone, and so too is this visible reminder of just how McHenry developed its identity. Like Harvard, Hebron, Union, Crystal Lake, Marengo, Woodstock and even Solon Mills, McHenry had its grand showplace, the Central Opera House. Especially in the years before movies, radio and the auto, these structures served as graduation sites, locations for home talent plays and concerts, as well as regular venues for professional productions by such troupes

McHenry

With ‘cliff’ deal, liberals annualized trillion-dollar deficits “Even victors are by victories undone.” — John Dryden WASHINGTON – Democrats not allergic to arithmetic must know the cost of their “fiscal cliff” victory. When they flinched from allowing all of George W. Bush’s tax rates, especially those on middle-class incomes, to expire, liberalism lost its nerve and began what will be a long slide into ludicrousness. Those temporary rates were enacted in 2001, when only 28 House Democrats supported them, and in 2003, when only seven did. But with the “American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012” – did liberals think about that title? – 172 House Democrats voted to make the Bush income-tax rates permanent for all but 0.7 percent of taxpayers – individuals earning more than $400,000 and couples earning more than $450,000. Liberals could have had a revenue increase of $3.7 trillion over 10 years. Instead, they surrendered nearly $3.1 trillion of that. They cannot have repeated bites at this apple.

Editorial Board: John Rung, Dan McCaleb, Kevin Lyons, Stacia Hahn, Jon Styf, Kate Schott

They cannot now increase government revenues as a share of GDP through tax reform because Republicans insist that the Taxpayer Relief Act closed the revenue question. And because tax reform is dead for the foreseeable future, so are hopes for a revenue surge produced by vigorous economic growth. No numerate person thinks today’s entitlement state, let alone the steady expansion of it that is liberalism’s aspiration, can be funded by taxing the income of the 0.7 percent of taxpayers whose rates were just raised. Or the 2 percent whose rates would have been raised had liberals and their president simply allowed the automatic increase of rates for individuals earning more than $200,000 and couples earning more than $250,000. Because 82 percent of American earners pay more in payroll taxes than income taxes, no politically conceivable or economically feasible middle-class tax rate can fund the entitlement state. And America’s political culture rules out funding it with new consumption or

VIEWS George Will energy taxes. By rescuing almost everyone from restoration of Clintonera rates, liberals abandoned any pretense of paying for their program of ever-expanding entitlements. Instead, they made trillion-dollar deficits their program. From 1950 to 2000, economic growth averaged 3.6 percent; since then it has averaged less than 2 percent. Liberals think today’s correlation between the slow economic growth and rapid governmental growth – including under George W. Bush – is a coincidence. Conservatives do not. And they note some recent actions, done in December’s bright light of public attention and fiscal anxiety, which indicate that this government’s indiscipline is incorrigible and shameless. Consider one detail in the Taxpayer Relief Act, and an issue pertinent to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Years ago, Congress decided that, to save the planet, there should be tax credits to bribe Americans to buy electric cars. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., believes it only fair that buyers of electric motorcycles, some of which are made in Oregon, not get left out of the bribery business. Thanks to the Taxpayer Relief Act, they won’t. People who choose to live in places vulnerable to flooding believe it would be unfair that the cost of their property insurance fully reflect this risk. So government subsidizes their insurance, and hence their decision to live where there is increased risk of property damage that, when it happens, the government helps pay to rebuild. Today’s government, whose railroad, Amtrak, lost $834 million over the past 10 years just on its food service, has neither wit nor will to stop subsidizing electric motorcycles or to reform flood insurance. Hence Republicans should rally ’round one of several constitutional amendments requiring balanced budgets. Such an amendment would be popular

everywhere, but especially in six states important in 22 months. Republicans need to gain six seats to win Senate control in 2014, when Democrats will be defending 20 seats, Republicans only 13. Six Democratic incumbents represent states in which Barack Obama received less than 42 percent of the vote – Montana’s Max Baucus (41.7), Alaska’s Mark Begich (40.8), Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu (40.6), South Dakota’s Tim Johnson (39.9), Arkansas’ Mark Pryor (36.9) and West Virginia’s Jay Rockefeller (35.5). Sixty-seven Senate votes are needed to send a proposed amendment to the states for ratification. There are 45 Republican senators. There are nowhere near 22 Democrats who would vote for an amendment Republicans could support. Still, Republicans, whose divisions cause Democratic gloating, could use a balanced budget amendment to divide Democrats who threw the remnants of their fiscal self-respect off the cliff.

The Homeowners Association of Chalet Ridge supported Cary acquiring the golf course. Park district officials have said the Foxford Hills Golf Club, which the park district bought in 2004, has operated as an independent, self-supporting business. Since 2004, Foxford Hills has brought the village $1.8 million.

Well-wishers feather quilting group’s funds Donations ensure ‘thank-you’ blankets for veterans By StePHeN Di BeNeDettO

sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com

HUNTLEY – About two months ago, local Quilts of Valor volunteers who make lap-sized blankets as a thank-you to area veterans were on the verge of retiring their sewing needles. Demand for the quilts was slowing and the group’s start-up money was vanishing. Now, though, the group is in business for 18 months more because of overwhelming response to a late-October Northwest Herald article on the plight of the Huntley-based group. “We have had a huge response,” said Sue Bruss, who founded the group with fellow Sun City resident Jan Meyer. “We were floored. We never expected that kind of outpouring.” The local group started after Bruss and Meyer heard about the national Quilts of Valor organization at a quilting convention. They were given $6,000 in start-up money to form a local chapter, after making quilts for area veterans at a special event in 2011.

Veterans Larry Posner (left) and Fred Guinn, both of Hebron, were among 20 veterans given homemade quilts as a thank-you for their service. Last fall, the money had dwindled to about $200 and the founders feared it would run out at the end of the year. Then the community responded. Bruss, Meyer and the group’s 30 volunteers received donations from $10 to $500. A local firefighters union gave $250 and challenged colleagues across northern Illinois to match or beat the donation.

The quilters now have about $3,000 to buy the high-quality fabric they need to make quilts. The chapter has presented quilts to hundreds of veterans, including 20 at Transitional Living Services in Hebron on Thursday. “We are always looking for people and recipients – a brother and uncle who has never been recognized,” Bruss said.

The two also claim Sciarrone is indebted to the village “by way of misappropriating municipal funds in his previous capacity as Chief of the Island Lake Police Department. The Candidate used municipality employees to perform personal work for him while the employees were being compensated by the village.” Amrich served as village president from 1985 to 2005. Neither objection filing details specific debt figures. Calls to Field and Sharp were not returned Friday. Amrich and Sciarrone are running on the “For the People” slate with three others: Clerk candidate Teresa Ponio and trustee candidates Mark Beeson and Keith Johns. The competing slate, “United for Progress,” is led by Debbie Herrmann, who’s seeking re-election as village president. Also included are Clerk Connie Mascillino, who is seeking reelection, and trustee candidates Josh Rohde, Ken Nitz and Ed McGinty.

Durbin takes a lesson on limiting student debt By Jim DallKe

jdallke@shawmedia.com ELGIN – U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin met Friday with officials from Elgin Community College for a closer look at the college’s successful loan counseling program. Durbin introduced a bill in March called “Know Before You Owe,” which requires schools to counsel students before they accept expensive or unnecessary student loans. ECC has had a model since fall 2011 of mandatory, one-on-one loan coun-

seling sessions between students and financial aid administrators. Durbin was at Elgin to learn more about how the program has helped students avoid burdensome debt. “Elgin Community College is ahead of the curve,” Durbin said. “They are really focused on helping the students. Too many other schools – particularly for-profit schools – are focused on the bottom line. … If you stop and think about each student and value them individually as ECC

D-158 fills Skala’s seat By StEpHEN DiBENEDEtto

sdibenedtto@shawmedia.com

HUNTLEY – The District 158 board this week unanimously selected a personal friend of Michael Skala to fill the seat vacated by the longtime board president. Michael Fleck, a Huntley attorney who has chaired Skala’s school board campaigns, was appointed in a special

meeting Thursday to finish the former president’s term, which ends in April. First elected to the board in 1997, Skala left in November after winning a seat on the McHenry County Board. Fleck also was the only nonincumbent candidate to file for the April school board election. The district board ballot is uncontested. The appointment gives him

an early start on the board. He previously served on the Huntley Library Board, the McHenry County Bar Association of Governors and the Centegra Foundation Board of Directors. “After I get my feet wet, I just want to contribute what I can to what the board has been trying to do already, which is providing top-notch education,” Fleck said.

does, you get a much different result.” Durbin said student loan debt is out of control, and that he thinks Washington can learn something from ECC. “I read about this and said, ‘I’ve got to come out here,’ not only to hear about how this is working firsthand, but also because I can go back to Washington and tell your story,” he said.

The one-on-one counseling has been particularly effective, said Kim Wagner, managing director of student financial services at ECC. “What that gives to the student is that personal feel. They feel like their questions are being answered. They feel that their situation is being heard.” Wagner said that by meeting students in person, financial aid administrators can evaluate their true financial needs, looking at factors such as part-time jobs and other

revenue sources. Students at ECC last year borrowed 13 percent less than in 2011. Bryan Lantz has one semester remaining at ECC and said he will graduate debt-free. “When you’re [applying for financial aid] on the computer, you’re wondering, ‘Is this right, is this right? Could I be wrong? I don’t want to mess up,’ ” Lantz said. “When you’re face-to-face with someone, you get direct answers. You know that you’re filling it out right.”

most time served on the board. That is Herrmann, Mascillino and Trustee Laurie Rabattini. But because Amrich is Herrmann’s election opponent, Herrmann only can be involved in hearing objections

to Sciarrone. Trustee Shannon Fox, with trustees Chuck Cermak and Thea Morris, will preside at Amrich’s hearing, Herrmann said. “I’m not part of that electoral board,” she said. “My hands are washed of the whole situation.” But Wayne Schnell, Amrich’s campaign manager and

supporter of the “For the People” slate, doesn’t see it that way. “It should be pretty interesting. The electoral board just happens to be on the opposing slate,” he said. “But we stand ready to fight. We’re optimistic and we believe our candidates should move forward and should be placed on the ballot.”

Our working relationship is probably rare for women; I have never felt any competition with her. #6 and I have always been encouraging and supportive. Probably what makes this work is we are opposites. She is very outgoing and trying something new all the time. I tend to be more reserved and enjoy a set routine. She rocks a navy suit like no one else and I wear aqua gingham with a mint green bicycle print shirt and snakeskin boots. These different traits blend perfectly when we work on our annual Best of the Fox. She is the creative one, coming up with the new categories and pulling together the advertising options. I

follow behind, organizing the vote counting and coordinating all of the details for the event. It is a crazy time but we both thrive during it, feeding off of each’s energy.

And yesterday was #6’s last day at the Northwest Herald, after almost twenty-ﬁve years. She has decided to completely switch gears, leave the media industry and go into something new. I am so excited for her as I know she will succeed beyond even her own expectations. But I am also struggling to think of being here without her. She has pushed me to go beyond my own self-imposed limitations and I can never thank her enough for getting me started in Pilates. Yes, it was one of her “you gotta try this” things. Thinking about our friendship and putting it down in words has made me realize how different we may appear, from our musical taste to our decorating style, but that only reinforces to me what an amazing friendship we have. It is not based upon similarities, conveniences or going to school together; we’ve connected with our independent spirits, work ethic and feisty attitudes. Ask the Golfer and #6’s husband; I think the men would agree that she and I more than a handful! So, to #6, thanks for being that amazing friend I didn’t even know was out there. I hope all of you have the chance to have a friend like #6 in your life. If you have met her already, you know how lucky you are. And if you haven’t met your #6, wow, do you have something to look forward to! Have a good weekend! Autumn

MINI-REVIEWS & LOCAL SHOWTIMES OF CURRENT MOVIES

Page B5 • Saturday, January 12, 2013

On screen now “Django Unchained” HH

Rated R for strong graphic violence throughout, a vicious fight, language and some nudity, 2 hours, 35 minutes STARRING: Jamie Foxx, Christoph Walz, Leonardo DiCaprio PLOT: With the help of his mentor, a slave-turned-bounty hunter sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner. VERDICT: For his latest blood fest, Quentin Tarantino largely replays all of his other blood fests, specifically his last flick, “Inglourious Basterds.” In that 2009 tale of wickedly savage retribution, Allied Jewish soldiers get to rewrite World War II history by going on a killing spree of Nazis. In Tarantino’s new tale of wickedly savage retribution, a black man (Foxx) gets to rewrite Deep South history by becoming a bounty hunter on a killing spree of white slave owners and overseers just before the Civil War. Granted, there’s something gleefully satisfying in watching evil people get what they have coming. But the film is Tarantino at his most puerile and least inventive, the premise offering little more than cold, nasty revenge and barrels of squishing, squirting blood. The usual Tarantino genre mishmash – a dab of blaxploitation here, a dollop of Spaghetti Western there – is so familiar now that it’s tiresome, more so because the filmmaker continues to linger with chortling delight over every scene, letting conversations run on interminably and gunfights carry on to grotesque excess. Bodies bursting blood like exploding water balloons? Perversely fun the first five or six times, pretty dreary the 20th or 30th. Tarantino always gets good actors who deliver, though, and it’s the performances by Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz and Samuel L. Jackson that make the film intermittently entertaining amid moments when the characters are either talking one another to death or just plain killing each other. – David Germain, The

Associated Press

“Gangster Squad” H½

Rated R for strong violence and language, 1 hour, 53 minutes STARRING: Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone PLOT: A chronicle of the LAPD’s fight to keep East Coast Mafia types out of Los Angeles in the 1940s and ’50s. VERDICT: “Gangster Squad,” a pulpy, violent tale of cops and mobsters in 1949 Los Angeles, rides an uncomfortable line between outlandishness and outright parody, and it’s difficult to tell which is director Ruben Fleischer’s intention. Which is a problem. While the film wallows in period detail and has some sporadic moments of amusing banter, it’s mostly flashy, empty and cacophonous, and it woefully wastes a strong cast led by Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone in barely developed, one-note roles. At its center is a performance from Sean Penn as mob king Mickey Cohen. With his mashed-up boxer’s mug, thick Brooklyn accent and volatile bursts of anger, he’s as cartoony as a Dick Tracy villain. – Christy

Lemire, The Associated Press •••••••

“The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” HHH

PG-13 for frightening images and extended sequences of intense fantasy action and violence, 2 hours, 49 minutes STARRING: Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage, Andy Serkis PLOT: The hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Freeman) joins Gandalf the wizard (McKellen) and a company of 13 dwarves in a quest to reclaim the dwarves’ homeland from an invading dragon. They encounter monstrous obstacles in the first leg of their journey. VERDICT: From the opening frames we are back in Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth, and it’s a comfortable place to be. So comfortable, it is easy to overlook many of the film’s flaws. The idea that Jackson would turn J.R.R. Tolkien’s slim children’s novel into a three-film epic is nuts, but the first of these films is entertaining enough, even when the padding shows in a narrative nearly three hours long. Bilbo’s encounter with Gollum (Andy Serkis) is a showstopper. Avoid seeing the 3-D version shown at 48 frames per second, because it makes an expensive movie look as cheap as a 1970s BBC production. – Jeffrey

RATINGS HHHH - Excellent HHH - Recommended HH - Not recommended H - Awful

“Jack Reacher” HHH

Rated PG-13 for violence, language and some drug material, 2 hours, 10 minutes STARRING: Tom Cruise, Rosamund Pike, Richard Jenkins, Robert Duvall PLOT: A homicide investigator digs deeper into a case involving a trained military sniper who shot five random victims. VERDICT: The idea of watching a movie in which a sniper methodically manufactures his own bullets, practices weekly at a gun range, then waits quietly in an empty parking garage before shooting five people dead may not sound like the most appealing form of entertainment during these tragic days. Nevertheless, it’s important to assess “Jack Reacher” on its own terms, for what it is and what it isn’t. Besides being caught in some unfortunate timing, it’s also clever, well-crafted and darkly humorous, and it features one of those effortless bad-ass performances from Tom Cruise that remind us that he is indeed a movie star, first and foremost. OK, so maybe Cruise doesn’t exactly resemble the Reacher of British novelist Lee Child’s books: a 6-foot-5, 250-pound, blond behemoth. If you haven’t read them, you probably won’t care. Even if you have read them, Christopher McQuarrie’s film – the first he’s directed and written since 2000’s “The Way of the Gun” – moves so fluidly and with such confidence, it’ll suck you in from the start. – Christy Lemire, The

Associated Press

•••••••

“Les Misérables” HH½

Rated PG-13 for suggestive and sexual material, violence and thematic elements, 2 hours, 37 minutes STARRING: Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfreid PLOT: Years after ex-prisoner Jean Valjean (Jackman) breaks his parole to become a virtuous man, fanatical policeman Javert (Crowe) continues to hunt him. While avoiding Javert, Valjean helps a dying prostitute (Hathaway) and, years later, her daughter (Seyfried). VERDICT: Director Tom Hooper’s interpretation of the blockbuster stage show is a musical in close-up. With his actors singing their roles “live,” Hooper can push his camera’s right into their faces. This is riveting for the ﬁrst hour, then becomes repetitive. Jackman, Crowe and Hathaway are electrifying. This ﬁlm was made for fans of the stage show. Others who don’t know the story going in will be lucky if they know it going out. – Jef-

frey Westhoff, Northwest Herald •••••••

“Lincoln” HHH

Rated PG-13 for an intense scene of war violence, some images of carnage and brief strong language, 2 hours, 30 minutes STARRING: Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, David Strathairn, Joseph Gordon-Levitt PLOT: As the Civil War continues to rage, America’s president struggles with continuing carnage on the battlefield as he fights with many inside his own Cabinet on the decision to emancipate the slaves. VERDICT: For anyone who cringed just a little while watching the trailer for “Lincoln” and worried it might be a near-parody of a Steven Spielberg film, with its heartfelt proclamations, sentimental tones and inspiring John Williams score, fret not. The movie itself is actually a lot more reserved than that – more a wonky, nuts-andbolts lesson about the way political machinery operates than a sweeping historical epic that tries to encapsulate the entirety of the revered 16th

president’s life. That was a smart move on the part of Spielberg and screenwriter Tony Kushner, a Pulitzer prize-winner for the play “Angels in America” who also wrote the script for Spielberg’s “Munich.” It’s talky and intimate, but also surprisingly funny. –

Christy Lemire, The Associated Press •••••••

“Parental Guidance” HH Rated PG for some rude humor, 1 hour, 44 minutes

STARRING: Billy Crystal, Bette Midler, Marisa Tomei PLOT: Artie and Diane agree to look after their three grandkids when their type-A helicopter parents need to leave town for work. Problems arise when the kids’ 21st-century behaviors collide with Artie and Diane’s old-school methods. VERDICT: The schmaltz is piled on thick, and if the comedy were any broader, it would require an Imax screen, but still there’s something touching about how hard Billy Crystal and Bette Midler hustle to peddle the threadbare material that makes “Parental Guidance” a perfectly tolerable, if uninspired, moviegoing experience. It would have been nice if director Andy Fickman (“Race to Witch Mountain”) and husband-andwife screenwriters Lisa Addario and Joe Syracuse (“Surf’s Up”) could have mined some fresher stuff from this frequently played ballgame, but at least when you’ve got Crystal calling the shots, you can still count on the occasional change-up. – Michael Re-

chtshaffen, The Hollywood Reporter •••••••

“Promised Land” HH Rated R for language, 1 hour, 46 minutes

STARRING: Matt Damon, Frances McDormand, John Krasinski PLOT: A salesman for a natural gas company experiences life-changing events after arriving in a small town, where his corporation wants to tap into the available resources. VERDICT: An experience that’s alternately amusing and frustrating, full of impassioned earnestness and saggy sections. Director Gus Van Sant has the challenge of taking the topic of fracking and trying to make it cinematic. Working from a script by co-stars Matt Damon and John Krasinski, based on a story by Dave Eggers, he succeeds in fits and starts. The impoverished small town that’s the tale’s setting, a place in need of the kind of economic rejuvenation fracking could provide, is full of folksy folks whose interactions with the main characters don’t always ring true. “Promised Land” has its heart is on its sleeve and makes its proenvironment message quite clear, but it’s in the looser and more ambiguous places that the film actually works. Damon stars as Steve Butler, a salesman traveling the country on behalf of a bland behemoth of an energy corporation. Having grown up on an Iowa farm himself and seeing how an economic downturn can devastate a small town, Butler seems to be a true believer in what he’s selling. But he’s also a pragmatist, as evidenced by the playfully cynical give-and-take he enjoys with his partner, Sue (a sharp Frances McDormand). Famous for his efficiency in persuading rural residents to sell their land for the drilling rights, Steve runs into a major challenge when he and Sue arrive in depressed McKinley, Pa., where an outspoken old-timer (Hal Holbrook) and a flashy, charismatic environmental crusader (Krasinski) dare to question the company’s methods. –

Christy Lemire, The Associated Press •••••••

“This is 40” HH

to their marriage as they turn 40. VERDICT: Writer-director Judd Apatow invented a style of affably vulgar comedy that has served him and a company of fellow actors and filmmakers well for nearly eight years. This time, Apatow’s worst instincts overpower his best. The frequently crude dialogue is no longer grounded in a sense of goofiness, and main characters are no longer likeable. Rudd is not given as much screen time as Mann, who is Apatow’s wife. Even Apatow’s good films are too long, but this one seriously lacks the discipline to edit. The occasional good scenes are separated by acres of pointless sequences and subplots.

– Jeffrey Westhoff, Northwest Herald •••••••

“Zero Dark Thirty” HHH½

Rated R for language and strong violence including brutal disturbing images, 2 hours, 37 minutes STARRING: Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke, Jennifer Ehle, James Gandolfini PLOT: A CIA officer (Chastain) leads an eight-year hunt for Osama bin Laden, which climaxes with a daring nighttime raid in Pakistan. VERDICT: Much like her Oscar-winning “The Hurt Locker,” director Kathryn Bigelow’s account of the CIA’s search for Osama bin Laden is compelling filmmaking that can be difficult to watch at times, as it should be. Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal (who also wrote “Hurt Locker”) have been criticized for glamorizing torture. While they do not glamorize it (the torture scenes are horrifying), they should have been more critical of it rather than present it as a necessary evil. That said, this still is a hypnotic procedural that chronicles nearly a decade of frustrations and setbacks before the Navy Seal’s celebrated raid on bin Laden’s compound. Chastain is dynamite as the flinty professional who remains focused on her mission even as her superiors begin to give up. Even though we know the outcome, the story is charged with suspense. –

Newly chaste teen feels guilty Healthy lifestyle helps ‘inner CEO’ deceiving innocent sweetheart

Dear Abby: I am in high school and have always been able to get whatever guy I wanted. My reputation at school is sort of “loose and easy.” I haven’t had sex in eight months because I met a sweet, amazing guy who I want to marry. He’s a virgin, and I think he thinks I’m one, too. He doesn’t go to my school, so he doesn’t know about my old reputation. Should I let him keep thinking I’m still innocent? I feel like a worthless, used rag. When I’m with him, I am worth something – I’m the whole world to him. I want it to stay like that. But I know that by not telling him, I’m lying. He doesn’t deserve that – and I feel I don’t deserve him. Please help. – New “Me” In Arizona

Dear New You: Before I answer your question, there are some things I would like you to understand. First, you ARE “worth something” whether you are with this boy or not. It is dangerous to judge yourself through the eyes of another person. It is far more important you can look at yourself in a mirror and know you are a good person because you try every day to do what is moral and right. Practice that, and no one will ever again make you feel like a used rag.

deaR aBBY Jeanne Phillips You are still in high school, and that’s early to be thinking about marriage. I’m advising you to tell this boy the truth because if you don’t, there is a good chance that eventually he will hear it from someone else. If he drops you because of it, it will not be because you don’t deserve him, but because he doesn’t deserve you. Dear Abby: I’m wondering if you can help me. I have been friendly with couples, and when an argument arises, I have been caught in the middle. Sometimes I have felt forced to take sides. Then what happened was, they wound up mending fences and repeating to the other what I said during their split. It has put me in an awkward position when we’re together. How should I handle this in the future? – Torn In Dallas Dear Torn: In the future, when your friends have a spat with a spouse or significant other and start to dump on you, politely decline to listen. Say, “If you have a complaint about ( ), you should work it out with him/her because I’m not comfortable hearing this.” Either that, or do a lot

of listening and comment, “Oh, that must be painful.” Period. That way you’re saying nothing you won’t later regret. The exception would be if you were told about an abusive relationship, in which case you should recommend a domestic-violence hot line. Dear Abby: My husband of 30 years is easily startled. If I enter a room without a warning, he reacts as though he is in danger. He yells, “Don’t do that, or you’ll give me a heart attack!” Since our retirements, this has become an issue. I don’t understand his reaction – he wasn’t in the military, didn’t have a dangerous job and hasn’t been in a disaster. I feel like an intruder in my own home. He doesn’t think he has a problem. Your thoughts? – Wife Of A Jumpy

Hubby

Dear Wife: Has your husband always been this way, or is this new behavior? If it’s new behavior, it should be discussed with his doctor. He may suffer from a hearing loss or some other problem. And because he finds being “surprised” upsetting, try to accommodate him and not take it personally.

Dear Dr. K: I recently read aging affects something called “executive function.” Could you please explain what this is? Dear Reader: Executive function is an umbrella term for the complex thinking required to make choices, plan, initiate action and inhibit impulses. You can think of executive function as your “inner CEO.” Executive function is more complicated than it might seem at first glance. Let’s look at planning, for example. What do you need to do when you plan? You need to set a goal. Then you need to focus on the task at hand and ignore other tasks. You need to ask yourself if you have any behaviors you need to curb to get the task done – and change those behaviors if the answer is “yes.” For instance, do you tend to get distracted? Do you shy away from asking others for help? Can you improve how you explain your vision or plans to others? That’s just a partial list. Not surprisingly, executive function can be more important than many kinds of memory for managing the day-to-day tasks of independent living. The good news is you can help preserve executive

aSK dR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff

function by doing many of the same things you should already be doing to stay healthy. Older people who exercise, for example, have better executive function than those who remain idle. Aerobic exercise may be especially beneficial. Lack of sleep scrambles executive function, so there’s another reason to get enough sleep. High blood pressure seems to have a harmful effect on executive function. So if you have it, make the lifestyle changes required and take the medicines prescribed. Researchers are looking into whether certain drugs might help older people with executive function deficits. So far, the results have been mixed. In the meantime, try the following to improve (or compensate for) your executive function: • Pay attention to paying attention. In other words, work on maintaining focus. If you’re easily distracted, do what you can to remove distractions. Does your smartphone always need to be on? Callers can leave

messages, and you can pick up your emails and text messages later. I had one patient who found himself so easily distracted that he created a small enclosed work area in his basement where he had only a chair, desk and computer – no books, no phone, no radio, music player or TV. He also had an alarm clock and developed the discipline to get up and leave the room only once every two hours, when the alarm clock went off. Seem excessive? It worked for him. • Say it out loud. This is a standard memory tip. For example, “I am now putting my keys in my pocket.” • Make it a habit. Always put keys and other personal items in the same place so you don’t have to remember where you put them. • Write it down. Lists and plans of action are a way of “outsourcing” executive function from the brain to a piece of paper or a computer file. Follow these tips, and your “inner CEO” may stay in good shape.

Jimmy Kimmel says he expects to settle in as the thirdrated talk show host in late-night television, even as early ratings suggest he’s very competitive in his new time slot. ABC’s funny man is finishing his first week in a new 10:35 p.m. time slot, competing directly with Jay Leno on NBC and David Letterman on CBS. Kimmel said on Friday that “Jimmy Kimmel Live” has scheduled Matt Damon as a guest on Jan. 24. Kimmel has a long history with Damon, frequently joking at the end of his show that he ran out of time and couldn’t get Damon on the air as planned. Kimmel’s show finished third in viewership Thursday but first in the youthful demographic ABC seeks.

Reports: Travis drunk when arrested

Inauguration night talent announced President Barack Obama is drawing an A-list of performers for his inaugural festivities, including a massive ball expected to draw more than 35,000 revelers. Katy Perry, Smokey Robinson, Usher, Alicia Keys and Brad Paisley are among the stars announced Friday to sing at Obama’s inaugural balls Jan. 21 and a children’s concert on Jan. 19. Also signed up are Marc Anthony, Stevie Wonder, John Legend and the cast of “Glee.” The concert and the two official inaugural balls are being held at the Washington Convention Center over the Martin Luther King holiday weekend when Obama begins his second term. The performers join Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor, already announced for Obama’s signing ceremony Jan. 21 on the West Front of the Capitol. Other event performers include pop-rap foursome Far East Movement, Grammy-nominated pop-rock trio fun., R&B boy band Mindless Behavior, rapper Nick Cannon and youth gospel choir Soul Children of Chicago. Inaugural organizers aren’t saying yet which performances will be at which convention center event. Robinson told The Associated Press he’ll be at The Inaugural Ball with his own band, but he isn’t sure yet which songs he’ll sing. Robinson said he’s always happy to perform when the president asks because he’s so proud of the first family.

Blood alcohol results show country star Randy Travis was drunk when he was arrested naked after a Texas traffic accident. Grayson County District Attorney Joe Brown says Travis was formally charged Wednesday with driving while intoxicated with a Randy Travis blood alcohol level greater than 0.15. The legal limit for driving is 0.08. The Class A misdemeanor is punishable by up to two years in jail and a $4,000 fine. Travis was arrested for DWI and freed on bond after the Aug. 7 single-vehicle accident near Tioga, about 60 miles north of Dallas. Brown says negotiations continue to resolve the case. Travis still faces a retaliation charge for allegedly threatening officers. Defense attorney Larry Friedman says Travis has a great deal of respect for law enforcement and has stopped drinking alcohol.

Spears confirms show exit

Britney Spears said Friday she has made the “difficult

decision” to leave Fox’s “The X Factor” after one season. In a statement, the pop singer said she had an incredible time working on the singing contest but that it was time to get back into the studio to record. It was widely reported Thursday that Spears and “X Factor” were parting ways after a season in which the show’s ratings fell and Spears received lackluster reviews as a panelist. Fellow panelist Antonio “L.A.” Reid previously announced he was leaving, giving creator-executive producer Simon Cowell two spots to fill. Fox has been informed of Spears’ decision, her publicist, Jeff Raymond said Friday. Fox spokeswoman Gaude Paez confirmed that Spears is leaving the show and said the network had no further statement. Cowell and fellow producers are discussing replacements for Spears and Reid and will be conferring with Fox, said a person who is familiar with the situation but lacked authority to comment publicly and insisted on anonymity. Demi Lovato is expected to return as a panelist, joining Cowell and the newcomers. Spears, 31, said she was proud of the young “X Factor” contestants she helped counsel, but that watching them on stage each week made her miss performing. “I can’t wait to get back out there and do what I love most,” she added.

THEY WROTE IT By Mark Kiszla The Denver Post

Heads? The Broncos win. Tails? Baltimore loses. But if Denver wins the coin flip before this AFC playoff game, there is only one choice: Take the football. Give it to quarterback Peyton Manning. And Peyton let Manning Manning shove it down the throat of linebacker Ray Lewis and that over-the-hill Baltimore defense. Nobody asked me but: Deferring is for losers. If the Broncos have the greatest NFL quarterback of this generation on their side, what sense would it make for them to win the coin flip and kick off? Well, guys who own way cooler pocket protectors than I do would argue that deferring makes math sense. The stat geeks who ogle advanced metrics the way I drool over a bacon cheeseburger tell me the smart and hip decision is to defer. During their 11-game winning streak, the Broncos have won the coin toss four times, and each time coach John Fox has elected to defer possession of the ball until the second half. If his team is on an unbeatable roll, why would Fox mess with success?

Jacobs graduate Maria Tamburrino (left) has helped NAIA Roosevelt University of Chicago to a 16-4 record this season.

Jacobs grad Tamburrino lifts fledgling Roosevelt program Maria Tamburrino learned early in her high school career at Jacobs about the importance of rebounding. “My coach, Ed Haugens, put a lot of emphasis on rebounding,” she said. “We had rebounding goals every game, and if we didn’t meet them, we had to run.” In practice, Tamburrino recalled numerous drills to improve the team’s rebounding. “We did a lot of them,” she said with a laugh. Rebounding is something Tamburrino, now a college junior at NAIA Roosevelt University in Chicago, has helped earn her an important role for the Lakers, a program that is only 3 years old. Tamburrino’s 7.9 rebounds a game leads Roosevelt (16-4), which set a school record Thursday for wins in a season. She also is second on the team in scoring (13.5 points a game) and 3-pointers (25), while contributing 16 blocked shots and 1.95 assists and 1.8 steals a game. “I love being able to contribute in a lot of different ways,” Tamburrino said. Those contributions have not been lost on Roosevelt’s head coach. “Maria has been our best all-around player,” Lakers coach Robyn Scherr-Wells said. “She has really grown her game a lot. She’s a player who can do a little bit of everything.” The 5-foot-11 Tamburrino, while playing both forward spots, has improved her scoring average by nearly four points a game from last season. “We use her inside and

ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino outside,” Scherr-Wells said. “She can shoot the 3 and she can score under the basket. We take advantage of a lot of mismatches with her.” Tamburrino’s biggest improvements, however, have come on the defensive end. She fouled out of five games last season and led the team with 103 fouls. “She worked hard on her defensive positioning,” ScherrWells said. One area where Tamburrino hasn’t needed much work, though, is rebounding. “She’s all over the floor,” Scherr-Wells said. “She can rebound like nobody I’ve ever coached. She has a great eye for the ball.” At 11-2, Roosevelt is in a threeway tie for the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference lead with Cardinal Stritch and Olivet Nazarene. “It’s pretty exciting,” Tamburrino said. Despite being so close to the program’s first 20-win season, the Lakers are not focused on that milestone. “We want to win our conference, so how many wins that takes is the number we want,” Scherr-Wells said. Tops at Truman: D-II Truman State senior defensive back Richie Schumacher was a secondteam selection to the 2012 Don Hansen All-Super Region Three

football team this season. A Crystal Lake South graduate, Schumacher ranked fourth in the Mid-American Intercollegiate Athletic Association with a teamhigh 110 tackles. He also had two interceptions, two blocked kicks and six tackles for loss. Schumacher’s 20-tackle effort Oct. 27 against Pittsburg (Kan.) State was the most tackles in a game for a Truman player in 11 years. Schumacher also was chosen to the Daktronics All-Region second team and was a first-team All-MIAA pick. Tournament MVP: D-III Lake Forest College’s junior women’s hockey goaltender Stacey Dierking was named the Most Valuable Player of the sixth annual Codfish Bowl on Jan. 4 at the University of Massachusetts-Boston. Dierking, a Crystal Lake Central grad, saved 29 of 30 shots in the tournament, during which Lake Forest (5-2-4) shut out Plymouth State, 5-0, in the opening round. In the championship game, Dierking made 13 saves in a 5-1 victory against the host school. Dierking nearly posted backto-back shutouts, but UMassBoston managed a goal with 30 seconds remaining in the championship game. • Barry Bottino writes a weekly column and a blog about local college athletes for the Northwest Herald.

C-G hits only 4 of 26 shots in 1st half • CARy-GROVE Continued from page C1 The finish for the Trojans was much better than the start after C-G missed 22 of its 26 first-half shots. Yet, despite C-G’s shooting woes, South (5-9, 0-2) led by only nine at halftime. But that’s when the Trojans turned the tables, using a pressure defense to take the Gators out of their comfort

zone before starting to click on offense as well. The Gators took a 29-27 lead into the fourth quarter on Rogers’ 3-point field goal just before the buzzer, leading to a furious final eight minutes when the lead switched hands three times in the first 65 seconds. Plazak gave C-G a six-point lead before Alex Bartusch hit a 3-pointer and Nick Geske con-

verted on a 3-point play to get South to within 43-42 with 2:11 remaining. Max Meitzler – who scored 10 points to go along with Rogers’ team-high 11 – split a pair of free throws to tie the score before Plazak’s late heroics. “You have to give them credit – they made big shots,” LePage said. “This is a tough one, no doubt. But we’ve got to regroup.”

Kaufmann’s 13 points lead Woodstock • WOOdSTOCk Continued from page C1 the switch. Turner gave Thomas the fake, then stepped back and rose for his game-winning shot. “I thought I was going to go deaf when Jordan hit that shot,” said Stoneking, who had eight points, 10 rebounds and four blocked shots. “[The atmosphere] was awesome. I love our fans for coming out like that.” Several minutes after the game, players were hanging around the gym to savor the moment with their fans. “It’s huge,” Turner said. “The last time we’ve been at this level was a long time ago. It’s fun to be back up there.”

Kaufmann led the Streaks, who are alone in first place, with 13 points. “It was a fun experience for the boys,” Streaks coach Alex Baker said. “It was exciting to compete against a great team like Central. Now, we have to get back to work and get ready for Grayslake North.” Central was missing two starters – 6-6 forward David Panicko (flu) and point guard Brad Knoeppel (strep throat) – but still managed to battle back from a 44-35 deficit in the third quarter with a 17-3 run. The Tigers hit their first seven shots in the fourth quarter and led, 52-47, with 3:49 remaining. Corban Murphy led all players

with 21 points, and his sophomore brother Cavanagh added 10. “We did everything we needed to do to win the game except for the last couple possessions,” Tigers coach Rich Czeslawski said. “You have to tip your cap to them for making the plays they needed to make.” Central’s 6-7 Kyle Fleck scored 11 points, but he sat almost 9 minutes of the second half with four fouls. “That third quarter was a tough situation for us. We had a lot of guys playing out of position,” Czeslawski said. “I thought we’d make better decisions down the stretch. [Woodstock] did a great job and took advantage of their chances.”

Rodgers returns to roots Former Cal QB looks to avenge season-opening loss By JANIE McCAULEY The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO – The anxiety-filled green room and draft day seem so long ago now to Aaron Rodgers. Still, on this weekend, any lingering feelings of frustration about how far he dropped will be directed right at the team that passed him up with the No. 1 pick nearly eight years ago. Rodgers brings the highscoring Green Bay Packers (12-5) to Candlestick Park tonight to face No. 2 seed San Francisco (11-4-1) in prime time for a place in the NFC Championship game. He’ll take the field in the very venue where he became a regular fan as a boy rooting for Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Steve Young. Rodgers, who appeared in a preseason game at Candlestick in 2008, will play his first meaningful game at the stadium at last, as an eighth-year pro. He will look to avenge a 30-22 season-opening home loss to the 49ers. “It will be fun. I went to a few baseball games there growing up, and saw a game there when I was in college,” Rodgers said. “Stadium’s got a lot of tradition. Looks like we’re kind of fortunate with the weather right now. Still

He returns to Northern California, where he became a college star for California across San Francisco Bay in Berkeley, with a healthy cast of receivers and the swagger of a Super Bowl champion. When Rodgers dropped to

No. 24 in the 2005 draft after Alex Smith went No. 1, he was asked about his disappointment. He so matter-of-factly said, “not as disappointed as the 49ers will be that they didn’t draft me.” Now, everybody in the Bay Area and beyond will be watching his every move again. He already upset some friends he couldn’t accommodate with tickets. Family first, with everybody else making the 4-hour trek from his hometown of Chico left to fend for themselves. Most important, of course, is getting Green Bay one step closer to another Super Bowl. Last season’s chance at a repeat championship came to a screeching halt at the hands of the Giants in this very round at Lambeau Field. The Giants came to San Francisco the next week and won the NFC title game, 20-17, in overtime. Just as the Niners moved on from that heartbreaking loss and used it as a motivational push each day this season, the same goes for Rodgers after being slighted by his beloved San Francisco on draft day. “It’s been a long time since the green room,” Rodgers said. “I have a lot of good memories growing up watching Steve

Young and Joe Montana on TV and the Super Bowl wins and being a 49ers fan. That was a team I enjoyed watching and dreamt about playing for. I’m eight years removed here, and obviously I’m really happy with the situation I’m in.” A lot has changed in that time for San Francisco, too. The QB the 49ers picked ahead of Rodgers – Smith – spent the season’s second half on the bench as coach Jim Harbaugh promoted secondyear pro Colin Kaepernick. He will make his playoff debut today. In an odd twist, Kaepernick was born in Milwaukee and adopted before moving to California at age 4. Yes, he began as a toddler Cheesehead, then changed allegiances “when I got drafted,” Kaepernick said. He has never met Rodgers. He still knows plenty. Even San Francisco’s opportunistic, ball-hawking defense realizes just how hard it will be to rattle Rodgers or get him off his game. He hasn’t thrown an interception in five straight games and 177 passes. His receiving corps is intact again at last, each of the big four of Greg Jennings, Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson and James Jones capable of gamebreaking catches and career performances.

Hogettes hang up dresses after 30 years By DAN StEINBErG The Washington Post

WASHINGTON – As another Washington Redskins season ended Sunday evening – as fans packed up their tailgating supplies, and season-ticket holders said their offseason goodbyes – one FedEx Field regular began spreading some shocking news. Michael Torbert, aka Mikey T. Boss Hogette, would be packing up his dress and pig snout. Not just for the offseason, either. The Hogettes – the male super fans in floral prints, blond wigs and floppy hats – were joining RFK Stadium, Joe Gibbs and single-bar facemasks in the NFL history books. Torbert, 67, is a longtime nuclear waste engineer for the Department of Energy. In the fall of 1983, he borrowed his grandma’s white polka-dot dress and convinced 10 buddies to join him at RFK. This was when the Redskins were built around a stout offensive line – the Hogs – which Torbert thought deserved more attention. The Redskins would dominate the NFL for much of the next decade, and the rising tide lifted all snouts. The Hogettes became staples on television broadcasts and in newspaper photographs. There were high-profile TV commercials for local car dealers and for a national credit card company, an appearance on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” and an induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s “Hall of Fans.”

the Hogettes stand in a line as they watch Hall of Fame offensive lineman russ Grimm, shown on the monitor, accept his ring during halftime of the redskins-Colts game oct. 17, 2010, at FedEx Field in Landover, Md. the group of redskins fans is retiring after 30 years. “Thirty years of guys in pig snouts and dresses is probably enough for any society,” Torbert said on Friday, echoing a statement posted on the group’s website. “It’s a new era. It was great seeing RGIII and Alfred Morris break onto the scene, and it’s a perfect time to retire the old era and start the new.” This being a new era, of course, word of Torbert’s decision leaked on Facebook before the Hogettes had managed one final group meeting. So Torbert then went public with the news, while at least some of the 13 active members were still trying to convince him to stage a final farewell season.

“I told him, in writing and in passing, people are gonna miss us more than you think, and if we have to go, we should offer a hug first,” said Eddie “Hog Ed” Souder of Laurel, Md., at 47 years old the group’s youngest member. “I’d like to tell everybody out there one more time, take a chance, do something for somebody a little less fortunate. But he is our leader; I won’t make a move without his blessing. He is the Hogettes. We all feel that way.” The Hogettes this season had 13 active members (including four originals). There also are 14 “Missing Links” and one is deceased.

Several hours after creating a news story, Jimmy Johnson tried to diminish it. Johnson, a former coach andcurrentNFL analyst for Fox Sports, wrote on his Twitter page Friday morning that ex-colMarc league Marc Trestman was trestman heading to the Bears. Trestman, who worked as an assistant for Johnson at the University of Miami, is the coach of the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League. “Looks like 2 of my guys getting NFL jobs,” wrote Johnson, who has more than 120,000 Twitter followers. “Chud Cleveland and my QB coach at U Trestman to Chicago.” Translated: Rob Chudzinski would be the next coach of the Cleveland Browns, which multiple outlets reported. But Johnson was the only person to suggest Trestman is joining the Bears. By Friday afternoon, Johnson backtracked with another Twitter message. “I tweeted this morning,

[it] LOOKS like 2 of my guys were getting NFL jobs not that Trestman got it!” Johnson wrote. Trestman also denied that he was the Bears’ next coach in an e-mail sent to the Montreal Gazette. He said he had not heard from the team about whether he would be a finalist. The timing of Johnson’s first announcement seemed premature because the Bears have not finished interviewing candidates. General manager Phil Emery said that he hoped to bring in several finalists to meet with chairman George McCaskey and president Ted Phillips, and that process likely would not take place until next week at the earliest. By all accounts, Trestman is a strong candidate for the Bears’ opening because of his knowledge of NFL offenses. Before he went to Montreal, he served as offensive coordinator of the Oakland Raiders, San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals and Cleveland Browns. Trestman also has one-onone experience with Jay Cutler, whom he worked with leading up to the 2006 NFL draft. Other quarterbacks who have worked with Trestman before the draft include Jason Campbell, Tim Tebow, Brandon Weeden and Brock Osweiler.

Manning has had Ravens’ number By GENE WANG

The Washington Post BALTIMORE – Shortly after setting the Baltimore Ravens’ record for postseason receiving yards in a game Sunday, Anquan Boldin stepped to the podium across the hall from the locker room with a towel draped around his neck and a stern expression. The discussion had shifted from the 24-9 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in the first round of the AFC playoffs to today’s showdown against the Denver Broncos, and Boldin dispensed with the pleasantries often associated with evaluating an opponent. This was no time for diplomacy The Ravens have redemption on the agenda for their trip to Mile High Stadium after a 34-17 loss to the Broncos in Baltimore on Dec. 16. “I was hoping we would get them,” said Boldin, who had 145 yards and one touchdown in linebacker Ray Lewis’s final home game. “So they’ll see us next week.” Boldin was asked why the outcome would be different this time. The Broncos have won 11 in a row with quarterback Peyton Manning at the top of his game and the NFL’s third-ranked defense. “We’ll make it different,” Boldin said without hesitation. History suggests otherwise. Manning is 2-0 in the playoffs against the Ravens, and 8-2 against them overall. Both playoff victories came when Manning was with the Colts, the most recent a 20-3 win in the second round of the 2010 playoffs when the four-time MVP threw for 246 yards and two touchdowns. A month ago, Manning threw for a season-low 204 yards and one touchdown against the Ravens, but the Broncos got 115 rushing yards and a touchdown from tailback Knowshon Moreno. Since taking over as the starter on Nov. 25, Moreno has rushed for 510 yards and three touchdowns. The Ravens managed 278 total yards, their third-fewest this season, and committed two turnovers in what at the time was a third consecutive loss. “You know, in the playoffs, you play great teams,” Ravens Coach John Harbaugh said. “Every single team you play is a great football team. We’ve got

a lot of respect for them. Denver came in here and played really well against us and beat us pretty good.” In the week leading up to that game, Lewis had begun to practice seriously for the first time since he tore his right triceps, an injury that kept the two-time defensive player of the year out from Oct. 14 until last week. At Lewis’s request, the Ravens did not place the future Hall of Famer on injured reserve, and he made it back for a farewell run in the playoffs. Lewis has announced that he will retire at the conclusion of this season, ending a 17-year career that includes 13 Pro Bowl selections and a Super Bowl MVP award. Wearing a protective brace Sunday to help stabilize his injury, Lewis finished with a team-high 13 tackles, although he did drop what appeared a sure interception. “I told [teammates], ‘We don’t have the 24-hour rule now [to celebrate]. We have a lessthan-12-hour rule’ because we are back to work,” he said. “We know who we have next week. Denver is going to be well-rested, but now we get them with all our guys back.” The Broncos have not lost in more than three months. Since falling to the New England Patriots, 31-21, in Week 5, Denver only twice has scored fewer than 30 points, and Manning has thrown multiple touchdowns in all but three of those games.

Bulls go to 3-0 against Knicks Deng leads victory with season-high 33 points in New York By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Joakim Noah loved shutting up the chatter almost as much as shutting down the Knicks. He heard how Carmelo Anthony would come out firing after his suspension, how the Knicks would pay the Bulls back for a tense, testy meeting last month. Turned out to be the same no contest it was last time. Luol Deng scored a seasonhigh 33 points in the Bulls’ third victory over New York this season, a 108-101 win Friday that sent the Knicks to their season-high third straight loss. “I think it was a big game.

Cole Darling had 12 points and 11 rebounds for Wright State (13-4, 4-0 Horizon League). Kendall Griffin had six assists.

erybody was saying the Knicks were going to get revenge for what happened last time, nah, nah, nah,” Noah said, unable to contain his postgame smile. “And we came back, held it down again.” Noah couldn’t contain his excitement while playing in front of family and friends, even breaking out his gun salute that he vowed to shelve after the shootings at a Newtown, Conn., elementary

school, apologetically saying he just got too hyped up. Topping the 29 points he scored here last month, Deng shot 13 of 18 from the field and also led the defensive effort that contained Anthony in the decisive first half of his return from a one-game suspension. Carlos Boozer added 17 points for the Bulls, whose offense won’t be at full strength until Derrick Rose is back from knee surgery, yet they still shot 57 percent. Anthony ended up with 39 points for the Knicks, who were roughed up again a night after losing in Indiana. He shot 14 of 32 but said his struggles had nothing to do with Deng and that he simply missed shots he normally makes. Without starting point

Hawks erase 15-point deficit to beat Jazz The ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA –Devin Harris scored a season-high 24 points, and the Atlanta Hawks rallied from 15 points down in the second half Friday night to defeat the Utah Jazz, 103-95. Randy Foye had 25 points to lead Utah, which had won four of five but was denied its first back-to-back road wins of the season. Al Jefferson had 23 points and 10 rebounds and Paul Milsap had 20 points and 13 rebounds for the Jazz. The Hawks, who trailed 75-60 in the third quarter, played from behind before taking their first lead of the

second half on consecutive baskets by Al Horford. The second basket by Horford, set up by Josh Smith’s pass, gave Atlanta a 94-92 lead with 2:44 remaining. Jefferson answered with a tying basket before Ivan Johnson scored on a fast break to give the lead back to Atlanta. Utah’s Jamaal Tinsley made one of two free throws to leave the Hawks’ lead at 9695. Josh Smith’s short jumper and Lou Williams’ 3-pointer padded the lead.

PGA rookie Henley fires 2nd straight 7-under 63

HONOLULU – Two days into his PGA Tour career, Russell Henley was in the record book. Henley putted for birdie on every hole Friday on his way to a second straight round of a 7-under-par 63, giving him a two-shot lead over fellow rookie Scott Langley and Scott Piercy in the Sony Open. He was at 14-under 126, breaking the 36-hole tournament scoring record by two shots. “It’s pretty surreal,” Henley said. In the first full-field event of the season, the rookies were leading the way. All they did on another windy, warm day along the shores of Oahu was trade places atop the leaderboard. Langley, a former NCAA champion from Illinois, opened with a 62 and followed that with a 66. That typically would be enough to stay in the lead. Langley said he tried to stay aggressive, and then he felt he had no choice. He birdied his last three holes to reach 128. – Wire reports

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama tailback Eddie Lacy, cornerback Dee Milliner and right tackle D.J.

Lacy and Milliner announced their plans to skip their senior seasons Friday at a news conference. Fluker couldn’t be there for the announcement because he was traveling. It’s another exodus of talented underclassmen for a team that has won three of the past four national championships.

I’ve gained a lot of confidence in speaking in front of groups and my communication skills have greatly improved.” Burton said that she finds herself using Tastefully Simple products not only in her party dishes but in her everyday cooking. “I’m always in charge of the dips

Gas prices predicted to fall in 2013 By JONATHAN FAHEY AP Energy Writer

NEW YORK – At least gasoline should cost you less in 2013. Hamburger, health care and taxes are all set to take a bigger bite out of the family budget this year. But drivers’ annual gas bills are expected to drop for the first time in four years. Forecasters say ample oil supplies and weak U.S. demand will keep a lid on prices. The lows will be lower and the highs won’t be so high compared with a year ago. The average price of a gallon of gasoline will fall 5 percent to $3.44, according to the Energy Department. “Everything is lining up to lead to softer prices this year,” said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service. That would still be the third-highest average price ever. But a discount of 19 cents per gallon from 2012 would save the typical household $205 this year and free up $25 billion that could go instead to restaurants, malls or movie theaters — the kind of consumer spending that accounts for 70 percent of American economic activity. “It’s a little benefit to the economy, and it’s a little more reason the Fed doesn’t have to worry about inflation,” said James Hamilton, an economist at the University of California at

John Jones has been named as permanent executive director of Home of the Sparrow. Jones has been holding the interim position since September 2012. He has previously served on the Home of the Sparrow Board of Directors from 2007-12, and holds business experience in managing large organizations and generating new companies. His greatest success has been in financial turnarounds, as well as profitably growing companies for improved shareholder value. Jones is enthusiastic to continue helping the women and children of McHenry County in gaining self-sufficiency. “With the solid staff at Home of the Sparrow, I look forward to using my business expertise to provide vision, with direction, for the agencies’ future, while also obtaining the end goal of assisting our women and children to achieve permanent housing,” Jones said. Home of the Sparrow’s mission is to provide “Hope, Opportunity and Support” that empowers women and children as they journey from homelessness to self-efficiency. Home of the Sparrow’s vision is to reduce homelessness among women and children through strategies and community partnerships, resulting in lasting self-sufficiency. Home of the Sparrow operates four thrift stores located in Algonquin, Cary, McHenry and Palatine. For more information, visit www.HOSparrow.org

San Diego who studies energy prices. Forecasters caution that they can’t predict other factors like Middle East tensions, refinery problems or hurricanes along the U.S. Gulf Coast — in other words, the same events that caused gasoline prices to spike in 2011 and 2012. Any or all of those troubles could crop up again in 2013 and push pump prices above last year’s record average of $3.63 a gallon. The government expected gas to average about $3 during 2011. Then came the Arab Spring, which included the shutdown of Libya’s oil production. Oil prices shot up, and gasoline averaged

$3.53 for the year. The government’s forecast for last year also turned out to be too low, by 18 cents per gallon. And, Hamilton said, consumer spending might not see a boost from lower gasoline prices because most Americans will be paying higher taxes. The expiration of last year’s payroll tax reduction will cost an extra $579 for households making $40,000 to $50,000 in 2013, according to the Tax Policy Center, a non-partisan Washington research group. But after average gas prices rose in 2010, 2011, and 2012, a little relief will be welcome in 2013. Gas prices set records each of the past two years for a few reasons. Global demand has risen as the developing economies of Asia, Latin America and the Middle East burn more gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. At the same time, unrest in the Middle East has sparked fears of widespread supply disruptions in a region that produces a quarter of the world’s oil. That makes traders willing to pay higher prices up front for oil as a way to protect against possible dramatic price spikes in the future. In the U.S. last year, several refineries and pipelines had problems that reduced gasoline supplies, especially on the West Coast and in the Midwest, helping to push pump prices even higher.

Best Buy shows signs of reversing decline NEW YORK – Best Buy Co. showed signs of starting to reverse declining sales during the critical holiday selling season, a better-than-expected result. The electronics chain said that revenue at stores open at least a year fell 1.4 percent for the nine weeks ended Jan. 5. This figure is a key gauge of a retailer’s health because it excludes results from stores recently opened or closed. The company’s U.S. performance was flat. While this was slightly below the 0.3 percent increase Best Buy reported a year ago, President and CEO Hubert Joly said in a statement that it was an better than the past several quarters.

Wells Fargo’s net rises, but mortgages slow

NEW YORK – Wells Fargo, the country’s biggest mortgage lender, reported a 25 percent increase in fourthquarter earnings Friday, beating analysts’ expectations for both profit and revenue. The bank made more loans, set aside less money for potential defaults and enjoyed above-average returns from the investments made by its private equity business. In the third quarter, mortgage refinancing propelled Wells Fargo’s profits higher, as customers clamored to take advantage of ultra-low mortgage rates. Wells Fargo said it funded $125 billion in mortgages for the fourth quarter, up from $120 billion in the same period a year ago. However, that was down from $139 billion in the third quarter. Mortgage applications were down over both for the year and the quarter.

Comparing the performance of your stocks

U.S. trade gap widens to $48.7B The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The U.S. trade deficit expanded in November to its widest point in seven months, driven by a surge in imports that outpaced only modest growth in exports. The Commerce Department said Friday that the trade gap widened 15.8 percent to $48.7 billion in November from October. Imports grew 3.8 percent to $231.3 billion, led by gains in shipments of cell phones, including Apple’s new iPhone. Exports increased only 1 percent to $182.6 billion. And exports to Europe fell 1.3 percent, further evidence of the prolonged debt crisis that has gripped the region. A wider trade deficit acts as a drag on U.S. growth. It typically means the U.S. is earning less on overseas sales while spending more on foreign products. Faster growth in exports helped the U.S. economy grow from July through September at an annual rate of 3.1 percent. Most economists say growth has slowed in the October-December quarter to an annual rate of less than 2 percent, in part because of weaker exports. Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, predicts trade trimmed growth by about 0.5 percentage point in the final three months of the year. He expects fourthquarter growth to be no more than a rate of 1.5 percent. Through the first 11 months of 2012, the trade deficit is running at an annual rate of $546.6 billion. That’s roughly 2.4 percent lower than the 2011 deficit. Imports of consumer goods grew to $45.3 billion in November, a monthly record. Much of the growth was from cell phones and other household electronics products. Oil imports dropped 2.5 percent, reflecting a fall in prices and lower volume.

heavily underweighted in technology stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a trademark of Dow Jones & Company. The Standard & Poor’s 500. The S&P 500, like the Dow, is designed to track the performance of large companies, often called “large caps.” The S&P is a market-capitalization weighted index that measures 500 stocks and is composed of a broad-based group of New York Stock Exchange-listed, American Stock Exchange-listed and over-the-counter stocks. The index is heavily weighted toward fast-growing companies and is a good reflection of the United State’s service-based economy. For this reason, it’s considered the benchmark for comparing the performance of large-cap growth funds and money managers. The index is also broken down into sectors: 400 industrial, 20 transporta-

The DJIA is a price-weighted index of 30 major companies, including McDonald’s, Wal-Mart and General Electric. As a result, high-priced stocks have much more of an influence on the index than low-priced stocks. While changes have been made to the composition of the index over the last few years to more accurately represent the United States’ servicebased economy, the index is still heavily weighted toward energy stocks and stocks in cyclical industries, which often mirror the pace of economic growth and the demand for commodities. Also, the index is underweighted relative to other popular averages in financial stocks and

The index contains many “seasoned” companies as well as stocks of newer companies, mostly in the fields of technology and financial services. The companies are generally considered more speculative investment risks. It is important to note that this index is wrongly but widely considered a good measure of the performance of small-company (“small-cap”) stocks. It is a poor measure of small-cap stock performance because of the overwhelming dominance of a handful of large-cap technology names such as Microsoft and Dell Computer. The Russell 2000 Index. The Russell 2000 is used to measure the performance of small-company stocks. The Frank Russell Company constructs

the index by first determining the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on market capitalization. The 3,000 companies represent about 98 percent of the equity securities in the country. The largest 1,000 companies comprise the Russell 1000 index and this represents about 90 percent of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 index. The smaller 2,000 companies comprise the Russell 2000 index and accounts for the remaining 10 percent of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000. Evaluating stock indexes will help you determine whether your stocks are beating the average for similar stocks or lagging their peers.

FAA to review Boeing 787, but calls plane safe The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Federal Aviation Administration is conducting a comprehensive review of the design, manufacture and assembly of the Boeing 787, even while government officials declared the plane safe despite recent incidents including a fire and a fuel leak earlier this week. Michael Huerta, the FAA administrator, said at a news conference Friday there is nothing in the data the agency has seen to suggest the plane isn’t safe, but the agency wants to figure out why the safety-related incidents are occurring. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood went a step further: “I believe this plane is safe and I would have absolutely no reservations about boarding one of these planes and taking a flight,” he said. The 787, which Boeing calls the “Dreamliner,” is the aircraft maker’s newest and most technologically advanced airliner. It relies more than any other modern airliner on electrical signals to help power nearly everything the plane does. It’s also the first Boeing plane to use rechargeable lithium ion batteries, which charge faster and can be molded to space-saving shapes compared to other airplane batteries. The plane is made with lightweight composite materials instead of aluminum.

Boeing 787s sit at the company’s assembly plant in Everett, Wash. A fire ignited Monday in the battery pack of an auxiliary power unit of a Japan Airlines 787 empty of passengers as the plane sat on the tarmac at Boston’s Logan International Airport. It took firefighters 40 minutes to put out the blaze. Also this week, a fuel leak delayed a flight from Boston to Tokyo of another Japan Airlines 787. On Friday, Japan’s All Nippon Airways reported two new cases of problems with the aircraft. ANA spokeswoman Ayumi Kunimatsu said a very small amount of oil was discovered

leaking from the left engine of a 787 flight from southern Japan’s Miyazaki airport to Tokyo. The jet returned to Miyazaki, but after checks found no safety risk it flew to Tokyo. ANA said on another flight, to Matsuyama on the island of Shikoku, glass in a cockpit window cracked and the aircraft was grounded for repairs. ANA said it has no specific plan for inspections and will continue regular operations, though it said it would comply with instructions from the FAA and other authorities.

Boeing has insisted that the 787’s problems are no worse than what it experienced when its 777 was new in the mid-1990s. That plane is now one of its top-sellers and is well-liked by airlines. “Every new commercial aircraft has issues as it enters service,” Ray Conner, the president and CEO of Boeing’s commercial aircraft division, joined Huerta and LaHood at the news conference Boeing has delivered 50 of the 787s, starting in late 2011, and has orders for nearly 800 more. To get through the backlog, Boeing is ramping up production to build 10 787s per month in Washington state and South Carolina by the end of the year. By comparison, it builds more than one 737, Boeing’s best-seller, every day. The company said in November that it had begun making five 787s per month. But if any major manufacturing changes are needed to fix the problems, it could fall further behind in deliveries. Huerta and LaHood rejected the notion that FAA may have not have vigilant enough when it certified the 787 for commercial operations. LaHood noted FAA technical experts logged some 200,000 hours on testing and reviewing the plane’s design before it was certified in August 2011.

John Wayne said, “Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It’s perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we’ve learned something from yesterday.” The next trick is the most important play in bridge ... for a fleeting moment. And, of course, some tricks are more important than others. Which is the key trick in this deal? South is in four spades. West leads the diamond queen. How should the defenders continue from there? When South opens one spade, North’s hand is worth game in spades, that singleton hopefully being valuable. But with only three trumps, he must adopt a two-step routine, bidding his own nice club suit first, then supporting spades with a jump. When this deal was originally played, East won the first trick with his diamond ace and shifted to the heart two. West took that trick with his queen and cashed the ace, but South won the remainder. West had forgotten

the most important defensive “rule”: When leading a low card from length, you promise at least one honor in that suit. Here, when East led the heart two, West should have realized that East had the heart king, since the jack and 10 were on the board. West should have won trick two with his heart ace and returned the heart queen. Then East could have overtaken with his king and given West a heart ruff to defeat the contract. That is tough but not impossible, especially if you discuss the principle with your partners.

Saturday, January 12, 2013 • Page E7

TODAY - Your greatest benefits in the year ahead are likely to come from things that are of a nonmaterial nature, such as friendships or love. In the final analysis, they will be of greater value than silver or gold. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- An important matter that has been governed by outside forces could begin shifting in ways that will give you much greater control over its destiny. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A number of interesting developments are stirring behind the scenes that could turn out to be extremely advantageous for you career-wise. You could stand to gain financially as well. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t get discouraged if you have fallen a bit behind on the fulfillment of some of your hopes and expectations. Happy changes are in the offing, helping you make up for lost time. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It would be smart to establish some specific objectives. Anything you can envision in advance is likely to be far more profitable than just blindly moving forward. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Certain special knowledge you’ve acquired through personal experience can be of great value to others as well as yourself. Everyone will find many profitable, mutual uses for it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Do not discount any advice or tips being offered by persons who have good track records. If the sources are reliable, what they say warrants serious consideration. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Agreements that you enter into with proven partners have chances for success, especially if everyone benefits in fair proportion. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There’s a good chance that things will come more into focus where your work or career is concerned. Events will enable you to clarify your objectives and do your job more effectively. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Something on which you’re working quite hard will have greater chances for success if you reorganize it along more productive lines. Change what is not going well. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You’re finally in a cycle where old projects can be concluded advantageously once and for all. There’s a saying: “If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.” If it’s busted, change it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A new idea that you’re toying with has potential, provided you promote it right away. If you procrastinate, you’re not likely to develop it effectively. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Conditions in general still look quite encouraging where your material interests are concerned. In fact, the cycle could get even better for those who pursue their objectives with vigor.
