DeKalb to host tribute concert to mark 9/11 Sycamore fire officials to hold prayer service

CSR Bobcat sales manager Will Heinisch hooks up the hydraulic hoses Tuesday to a Bobcat walk-behind mower in front of the DeKalb business. “It’s a business killer,” Heinisch said of the new plan to alter the way the city inspects commercial and industrial buildings.

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com DeKALB – DeKalb property owner Chuck Shepard knows gathering all the people who could be affected by an overhaul of the city’s building codes will be a difficult task.

But it’s something he thinks needs to be done so their voices can be heard before the DeKalb City Council passes sweeping legislation that will change commercial and industrial buildings inspections.

“I’m unhappy with the derelict buildings around town, too,” Shepard said. “But

What’s next?

The Commercial/Industrial Building Responsibility Code will come before the DeKalb City Council again in November for a first reading. The ordinance needs to be approved at two readings to pass. If it passes, city staff will draft a proposal seeking contractors to perform inspections.

I feel there’s a better way to go about it.”

With DeKalb business owners denouncing a plan to alter the way the city inspects commercial and industrial buildings,

DeKalb aldermen unanimously decided Monday to postpone a vote on the proposed Commercial/Industrial Building Responsibility Code until at least November. The move inspired several in the audience to utter “thank you.”

Shepard was one of a handful of building owners and residents who said the ordinance would be a burden. Some insisted the city focus on problem properties rather than applying the code citywide.

The new ordinance would replace and expand the city’s previous ordinances that

DeKALB – When a U.S. Air Force band asked Michael Embrey to set up area concerts for its tour, he knew it had to perform in DeKalb.

Embrey is the CEO of FunMe Events in DeKalb and was a military musician in the U.S. Air Force Academy Band/Drum and Bugle Corps from 1967 to 1971. He also is the host for the U.S. Air Force Band of Mid-America September tour, which includes a stop at DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport, 3232 Pleasant St., DeKalb, on Thursday.

Thursday marks the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

“It became an opportunity not only to honor a veteran, but to have a concert as well,” Embrey said. “To have an entertainment quality with a military band, it was the perfect opportunity.”

The event will kick off at 5 p.m. with a tribute event display that will include old aircraft and old military vehicles. There also will be a World War II poster display, welcome booths by local organizations, and food and beverages.

DeKalb Scout Troop 4 will lead a U.S. flag retirement ceremony at 6 p.m. along with a 21-volley salute, and a bagpiper playing “Amazing Grace.”

The U.S. Air Force Band of Mid-America tribute concert will follow at 7 p.m. Attendees are asked to bring their own lawn chairs.

Gubernatorial candidates go personal in televised appearance

By SOPHIA TAREEN and KERRY LESTER The Associated Press CHICAGO – The Illinois governor’s race got personal Tuesday as Gov. Pat Quinn and Republican Bruce Rauner took pointed jabs at each other’s character and honesty over issues such as hiring, taxes and finances while sitting side-by-side during a televised editorial session.

The nearly 90-minute meeting before the Chicago Tribune’s editorial board was a clear sign the gloves are off in the nationally-watched race in which the GOP sees a chance to take President Barack Obama’s home state, one of the last remaining Democratic strongholds in the Midwest.

Quinn, a Chicago Democrat, accused the venture capitalist of bribing lawmakers to oppose a pension overhaul he

Quinn said Rauner dodged responsibility for companies in which his former investment firm, GTCR, was involved.

Rauner stepped down from the board, and his firm sold most of its

Sale of Evergreen Village affecting school’s enrollment

By JESSI HAISH jhaish@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Students leaving Sycamore schools because of the sale of Evergreen Village Mobile Home Park has been difficult for some teachers at North Grove Elementary School.

Ryan Janisch, North Grove Elementary principal, gave an update of the situation during a school board meeting Tuesday at the school, 850 Republic Ave., saying 35 students have left the elementary school so far this year because of families relocating from the mobile home park.

The property, which is situated on a flood-prone land, is being bought out by the county, which has secured $7.1 million in state and federal emergency management grants to buy the park, relocate its residents and return it to open space

by June 30.

About $3.7 million has been budgeted to relocate residents and about $1.9 million to purchase the mobile homes. The owner was paid $1.47 million for the property.

Only one family has relocated within the district so far, Janisch said.

“Each transition is different,” Janisch said. “Families are excited about their new places and at the end of every month when the check clears from the county, it’s another round of goodbyes for our staff. Our staff’s done a wonderful, wonderful job. But each of those are difficult.”

Janisch said 31 more children may leave the North Grove school because residents will continue to move out of Evergreen Village before the school year is

The numbers reflected the district’s enrollment as of Aug. 27. Countryman noted there still are some students registering.

UN: CO2 pollution at record highs

By JOHN HEILPRIN The Associated Press GENEVA – Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere reached a record high in 2013 as increasing levels of man-made pollution transform the planet, the U.N. weather agency said Tuesday.

The heat-trapping gas blamed for the largest share of global warming rose to global concentrations of 396 parts per million last year, the biggest year-to-year change in three decades, the World Meteorological Organization said in an annual report. That’s an increase of 2.9 ppm from the previous year and is 42 percent higher than before the Industrial Age, when levels were about 280 parts per million.

Based on the current rate, the world’s carbon dioxide pollution level is expected to cross the 400 ppm threshold by 2016,

said WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud. That is way beyond the 350 ppm that some scientists and environmental groups promote as a safe level and which was last seen in 1987.

CO2 emissions are growing mainly in China and other large developing countries as their economies expand. So far developed and developing countries have failed to reach a binding pact that would curb emissions globally. The goal of U.N. climate talks is to deliver such an agreement next year.

Concentrations of CO2 build up over time because it stays in the atmosphere for decades. So even if emissions stopped today it would take many years before concentrations dropped significantly.

Top climate scientists are now becoming increasingly skeptical that countries across the globe will meet the voluntary

goals they set at the 2009 Copenhagen climate summit of limiting global warming to about 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) above preindustrial levels.

In a draft report last month the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said it is looking more likely that the world will shoot past that point and by mid-century temperatures will increase by about another 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) compared to temperatures from 1986 to 2005. And by the end of the century that scenario will bring temperatures about 6.7 degrees warmer (3.7 degrees Celsius), it said.

“We know without any doubt that our climate is changing and our weather is becoming more extreme due to human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels,” Jarraud said. “Time is not on our side, for sure.”

NYPD: Terror threat more complex now

STATE BRIEF

Powerball jackpot: $127 million

By COLLEEN LONG

The World Trade Center flag is presented as friends and relatives of the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks gather Sept. 11, 2013, at the National September 11 Memorial at the World Trade Center site in New York for a ceremony marking the 12th anniversary of the attacks.

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Air strikes in Iraq, ongoing unrest in Syria and the beheadings of two American journalists are casting a long shadow over the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

While there is no specific threat against New York ahead of the Thursday commemoration, the rising power of disparate militant groups around the world presents the most complex terrorism danger since the twin towers were destroyed, New York intelligence officials said this week.

“It is layer upon layer upon layer – not all coming from the same place or ideology,” said John Miller, the New York Police Department’s deputy commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism.

That differs from five years ago, when the risk was chiefly from al-Qaida, Miller said. Now, he said, the threat is also coming from the well-funded, highly sophisticated “mass marketing of terrorism” – affiliate groups, foreign fighters, uprising militants and the idea of “al-

AP file photo

Qaida-ism.”

“When you look at the level of sophistication, the amount of slickness applied to their video production, the amount of thought that goes into creating a narrative,” he said, “They’re doing the same kind of thing as we’ve seen in commercial publishing or in the ad industry.”

New York remains the top target, and that makes preparing for big events,

including the U.S. Open tennis tournament, the United Nations General Assembly and the Sept. 11 commemoration, that much more critical, officials said.

Plus, President Barack Obama plans this week to outline an expanded U.S. campaign against militants in Iraq and Syria following the beheadings of American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff.

Cardinal George hopes to go to Rome soon CHICAGO – A new clinical trial of an experimental drug to treat cancer has left Cardinal Francis George feeling good, but not great, he said The head of the Archdiocese of Chicago spoke to reporters Monday. George, 77, started the trial to treat a recurrence of cancer near his right kidney. He said the second installment will be today.

George, the spiritual leader of the Chicago area’s more than 2 million Roman Catholics since 1997, said he would travel to Europe in November to meet with archbishops in Barcelona, Spain, and then to the Vatican. George canceled a trip to Rome in October because of medical treatment.

NO COMMITMENT 30 DAY TRIAL $9!

The idea is simple, but this concept has been the foundation of our community business for almost 35 years and is what has made FitWorkz (former the Wright Athletic Club) the oldest fitness club in the DeKalb/Sycamore area.

When we first opened as a Nautilus training center, fitness was something new in the area to most people. We provided one of the only options for residents and university students alike. As fitness caught on, so did we. Soon there was a women’s only club called Body Works and few years later the merger of the clubs into Fourth Street Fitness. Then the big move to Sycamore Road into the Kmart/Sears shopping plaza as The Wright Athletic Club. Evolution brought us to our present location known as FitWorkz.

Today there are many fitness choices in DeKalb/Sycamore, but our mission has always remained the same; to be the one choice that offers you a clean and safe place to work out, get fit, or healthy while offering the latest in fitness programming and technology.

We were the first club in town almost 35 years ago and we were the first to offer group exercise, a women’s only club and NOW we have been the first to embrace functional fitness and other newer cutting edge methods to help you reach your personal fitness goals. Yes, you can be the oldest and still LEAD the way IN the FITNESS business.

Many clubs in the area have come and gone. Most of these clubs have failed because they forgot that this business is not just about selling memberships. It is not about

cramming as many people into one club as possible, it is about people and results.

Our goal has always been to support you and to provide a place to escape to for an hour while working on your personal fitness. We have THRIVED for so many years because we value our members, and we are extremely grateful to the community for their continued support. If you haven’t been to FitWorkz lately, or have never tried us, please consider our risk free trial membership. al We invite you to try our club for a 30 day trial for ONLY $9 (a $269 value). This includes group training and unlimited personal coaching as well. That’s right, you can have a personal

you, your goals and your results. We want you to experience the FitWorkz difference. Most importantly, we want the chance to Change Your Life!

Try us for 30 days and give us a chance to earn your business. If we don’t earn your business we part as friends. If you have been a past member, please come see what’s new and visit with some old friends. If you’re new to fitness, come get started at a place that will patiently help you get

started with something you know you need in your life but maybe have never found someone to help you get going.

As always, thank you for your continued support and for letting us continue our mission. We started with the goal so many years ago to change lives and we are still helping our members live a higher quality life through fitness. We hope to see you soon. *Must be over 22 years of age and year round permanent resident.

Self-motivation was crucial to achieving my goal, I couldn’t have done it without the great people at Fitworkz. I train regularly with Judy and she is without equal as a coach and motivator. The FitWorkz staff is first-rate; the club is clean and well-maintained. I’ve worked out at many places including clubs in Chicago and Aurora,

OBITUARIES WILLIAM J. WORDEN Born: March 29, 1920; in Kirkland, IL Died: Sept. 8, 2014; in DeKalb, IL William J. Worden, 94, died Monday, September 8, 2014, in DeKalb at Bethany Healthcare Center. He was born in Kirkland, March 29, 1920, to Frank and Cora (Bell) Worden. On January 5, 1946, William married Glenna Olson in Long Beach, California.

William was employed for 40 years at Tuttle Electric and was also an insurance agent for Kirkland Insurance Company. He served in the Navy in WWII, was a member of the American Legion, past treasurer for the Kirkland Lions Club, coached Little League and enjoyed square dancing with his wife.

Gay marriage heading to high court?

William is survived by sons, Larry (Connie) Worden and Randy (Sue) Worden; granddaughters, Dawn (Burke) Hainline and Julie (Dustin) Lynch; great-grandchildren, Ryan and Lauren Hainline and Trevor and Jake Lynch; sister-in-law, Adeline Hjelmstad; and many nieces and nephews.

Preceded in death by his wife Glenna and sister Roberta Prindiville.

Funeral services will be held at Kirkland United Methodist Church Thursday, September 11, 2014, at 11:00 a.m. with Pastor Kyeong-Ah Woo officiating. Visitation 1 hour prior to the service. Interment at Maple Cemetery.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Both sides in the gay marriage debate agree on one thing: It’s time for the Supreme Court to settle the matter. Even a justice recently said she thinks so, too.

The emerging consensus makes it likely that the justices soon will agree to take up the question of whether the Constitution forbids states from defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman.

A final ruling isn’t likely before June 2015, but a decision to get involved could come as soon as the end of this month.

“I don’t see a lot of reasons for them to wait,” says Dale Carpenter, a gay rights expert

at the University of Minnesota law school. “You have almost no one at this point opposed to certiorari,” the legal term for high court review.

Officials in five states in which marriage bans were struck down by federal courts have rushed their appeals to the Supreme Court, in time for consideration by the justices when they meet in private Sept. 29. Moving at breakneck speed, at least for the legal system, Indiana and Wisconsin filed appeals Tuesday, just five days after the federal appeals court in Chicago struck down their state bans. The Chicago decision itself came nine days after judges heard arguments, extremely fast for a process that usually is mea-

sured in months. Officials in Oklahoma, Utah and Virginia also have appealed to the Supreme Court.

Adding to the momentum, the winners in all those cases – who typically want to preserve their lower court victories and would normally oppose Supreme Court review – want the justices to weigh in.

As expected, so do the losers.

In all, 36 states, encompassing both those that allow same-sex marriage and those that don’t, want the justices to join the fray. Thirty businesses, including Alcoa, Amazon, eBay, General Electric, Intel, NIKE, Pfizer and Target, say the Supreme Court should extend same-sex marriage nationwide because the “cur-

rent patchwork of state laws causes employees justifiable uncertainty about how their employers and governments will treat their familial relationships.”

The range of cases seems to meet the standard set by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg when she predicted in an interview with The Associated Press in July that the court would not look for ways to avoid ruling on same-sex marriage, as it did on interracial marriage bans.

“I think the court will not do what they did in the old days when they continually ducked the issue of miscegenation,” Ginsburg said. “If a case is properly before the court, they will take it.”

After hearing feedback, Lash reversed opinion Obama to seek • PROPOSAL Continued from page A1 covered inspecting commercial and industrial buildings, including vacant buildings. It does not apply to residential properties, with the exception of rooming houses. Hotels also fall under the new ordinance.

“This ordinance is complete – Dean [Frieders, city attorney] crossed every t, dotted every i,” said Will Heinisch, the former DeKalb Area Rental Association president and CSR Bobcat sales manager. “But it’s missing one thing: stakeholder input. The commercial business people and the people who support the community were not invited to the table.”

City staff proposed creating the ordinance last month, citing the problems at the Wurlitzer Building, Otto’s and the Travel Inn as examples of the need for a meaningful inspection process. City Attorney Dean Frieders said the city needs to change its approach so properties don’t fall into disrepair.

“Of all the things we’ve heard people say,” Frieders said, “there’s no one who’s been coming forward and saying there’s not problems with properties in the city or that this is not a problem that needs to be addressed.”

Katie Dahlstrom – kdahstrom@shawmedia.com

DeKalb property owners packed DeKalb City Council chambers Monday to oppose an ordinance that would change the way the city inspects commercial and industrial properties. Aldermen ultimately decided to postpone action on the ordinance until November.

DeKalb property owner Jim Mason countered that most of the commercial and industrial buildings in town are in great shape, suggesting the city perform inspections on a case-bycase basis.

“The problem with licensing inspections or just inspections in general is when you inspect a piece of property, usually the faults will show up within days,” Mason said.

Under the proposed ordinance, building owners would need to register with the city

by March 1. After registration, the city would set a period for annual inspection. An outside

contractor the city would select after the ordinance is approved would perform the inspections.

Although not detailed in the ordinance, city staff said costs that building owners would need to pay for the annual inspections will be based on the scope of the inspection. Smaller or well-maintained properties would cost less to inspect than larger or neglected ones.

Property owners would have a period to fix any problems uncovered during inspections based on the severity of the problem. The city also could issue fines if property owners don’t address the prob-

arms, training for Syrian opposition

lems, although city staff said fines and court cases would be a last resort.

Third Ward Alderwoman Kristen Lash said she supported a building inspection program, but after hearing the feedback from residents, she felt city staff should work with local building owners and landlords before the council approved the ordinance. Fourth Ward Alderman Bob Snow made the formal motion to postpone action until November.

Mayor John Rey wanted to instead receive and file the ordinance, asking staff to work quickly in order to bring the ordinance back for final approval at the council’s Sept. 22 meeting. His suggestion was met by building owners shouting, “no” and “table it.”

First Ward Alderman David Jacobson said instead of passing new legislation, the city should enforce the inspection rules it currently has. He disparaged the ordinance as a business killer that would drive people from DeKalb.

“To come and tell people we’re going to come into your building whether you like it or not,” Jacobson said, “whether you agree with it or not and find any litany of reasons why we could shut your business down under the guise of public safety is ridiculous.”

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama will ask Congress to quickly authorize the arming and training of Syrian opposition forces but will press forward without formal sign-off from lawmakers on a broader military and political effort to combat militants in Syria and Iraq, administration officials said Tuesday.

Obama will outline his plans in a rare primetime address to the nation Barack Obama tonight, a format that underscores the seriousness of the threat posed by the Islamic State militants. The president’s broader strategy could include more wide-ranging airstrikes against targets in Iraq and possibly in Syria, and hinges on military and political commitments from allies in Europe, the Middle East and elsewhere.

Ahead of his address, the president huddled with congressional leaders at the White House. Following the discussion, the White House said Obama told lawmakers he “has the authority he

Candidates expected to participate in 3 debates before Nov. 4 • CANDIDATES Continued from page A1 holding the bag,” Quinn said.

The matchup has been closely watched, featuring high-profile visits to Illinois from White House officials and Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who was expected in Springfield today.

Both sides have spent millions.

Quinn is seeking a second full term, while Rauner, of Winnetka, is making his first bid for public office.

Official: Objective is to take time out to remember

The two are expected to participate in three debates before Nov. 4, but Tuesday’s session served like an additional one, with the two men bickering and talking over one another while largely avoiding eye contact, though they shook hands at the end. Also in attendance were the candidates’ lieutenant governor running mates – former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas and Republican Evelyn Sanguinetti, a suburban city councilwoman.

Among Rauner’s biggest points was questioning Quinn’s

role in hiring issues at the Illinois Department of Transportation. Agency practices are the subject of a federal lawsuit and state investigator’s report, which showed anti-patronage hiring rules were skirted back to Blagojevich with an increase under Quinn’s administration.

The governor has since replaced IDOT’s secretary, who abolished the position at the center of the controversy.

But on Tuesday, when pressed to say who in his office recommended hires, Quinn named former aides, including

The event is so big DeKalb Fire Department officials will not hold their own ceremony marking Sept. 11, as they typically have done in the past.

Meanwhile, the Sycamore Fire Department will hold a brief prayer service at 8 a.m.

Thursday at Johnson’s Junction, which is across the street from DeKalb Fire Station No. 1, 535 DeKalb Ave., Sycamore.

Sycamore Assistant Fire Chief Marc Doty will make opening remarks, with Sycamore Fire Department Chaplain Drew Whitfield leading the service.

“The main objective is to take time out, five to 10 minutes of that day, to remember people that have gone before us,” Doty said.

Embrey chose to have the tribute concert at DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport because he said in the 1940s, military bands would travel by plane and stop at an airport hangar to perform.

Embrey knows firsthand how profoundly music can affect people. He played “Taps” for the first time when he was 16 years old and has also played in more than 300 military funerals.

“Music is one of the most pious emotional events that happen in life,” he said.

“There’s a certain ambiance of proudness that happens within somebody.”

Quinn accused Rauner of offering lawmakers campaign money in exchange for “no” votes on a pension overhaul Quinn later signed.

Rauner denied offering money. “Did I push hard to oppose that bill? Absolutely,” Rauner said. “I thought that bill was a mistake.”

The candidates also sparred over schools, with Quinn and Vallas saying they oppose vouchers and Rauner saying there should be more school choice.

needs to take action” against the Islamic State militants but would still welcome action from Congress that would “aid the overall effort and demonstrate to the world that the United States is united in defeating the threat.”

Even before Obama’s meeting with Senate and House leaders Tuesday, some lawmakers suggested a congressional vote on the president’s plans was unlikely before the midterm elections in November.

“As a practical matter, I don’t really see the time that it would take to really get this out and have a full debate and discuss all the issues,” said Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, R-Calif., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.

For Obama, a sustained U.S. intervention in the Middle East is at odds with the vision he had for the region when he ran for president on a pledge to end the war in Iraq, where the role of American fighting forces drew to a close nearly three years ago.

The timing of his announcement Wednesday night was all the more striking, with Obama’s address to the nation scheduled just hours before anniversary commemorations of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

OUR VIEW

’Tis the season for political attacks

Why are Republican-led states so far behind?

I have a question for my Republican friends.

Yes, that sounds like the setup for a smackdown, but although the question is pointed, it is also in earnest. I’d seriously like to know: If Republican fiscal policies really are the key to prosperity, if the GOP formula of low taxes and little regulation really does unleash economic growth, then why has the country fared better under Democratic presidents than Republican ones and why are red states the poorest states in the country?

You may recall that Bill Clinton touched on this at the 2012 Democratic Convention.

He claimed that, of all the private sector jobs created since 1961, 24 million had come under Republican presidents and a whopping 42 million under Democrats. After Clinton said that, I waited for PolitiFact, the nonpartisan fact-checking organization, to knock down what I assumed was an obvious exaggeration.

But PolitiFact rated the statement true.

And then there’s a recent study by Princeton economists Alan Binder and Mark Watson that finds the economy has grown faster under Democratic presidents than Republican ones. Under the likes of Nixon, Reagan and Bush they say we averaged an annual growth rate of 2.54 percent. Under the likes of Kennedy, Clinton and Obama,

VIEWS Leonard Pitts it’s 4.35 percent.

Yours truly is no expert in economics, so you won’t read any grand theories here as to why all this is. You also won’t read any endorsement of Democratic economic policy.

Instead, let me point out a few things in the interest of fairness.

The first is that people who actually are economic experts say the ability of any given president to affect the economy – for good or for ill – tends to be vastly overstated. Even Binder and Watson caution that the data in their study do not support the idea that Democratic policies are responsible for the greater economic performance under Democratic presidents.

It is also worth noting that PolitiFact’s endorsements of Occupy Democrats’ claims come with multiple caveats. In evaluating the statement about 97 of the 100 poorest counties being red, for instance, PolitiFact reminds us that red states tend to have more rural counties and rural counties tend to have lower costs of living.

Duly noted. But the starkness and sheer

preponderance of the numbers are hard to ignore. As of 2010, according to the Census Bureau, Connecticut, which has not awarded its electoral votes to a Republican presidential candidate since 1988, had a per capita income of $56,000, best in the country, while Mississippi, which hasn’t gone Democrat since 1976, came in at under $32,000 – worst in the country. At the very least, stats like these should call into question GOP claims of superior economic policy.

Yet, every election season the party nevertheless makes those claims. It will surely do so again this fall. So it seems fair to ask: Where are the numbers that support the assertion? Why is Texas only middling in terms of per capita income? Why is Mississippi not a roaring engine of economic growth? How are liberal Connecticut and Massachusetts doing so well?

It seems to suggest Republican claims are, at best, overblown. If that’s not the case, I’d appreciate it if some Republican would explain why. Otherwise, I have another earnest, but pointed question for my Democratic friends: How in the world do they get away with this?

VIEWS

Like Nixon with China, Obama should visit Iran

By NOAH SMITH Bloomberg News President Barack Obama has vowed to “degrade and ultimately destroy” Islamic State, or ISIS. That will be difficult without boots on the ground, and if those boots are American, it means a major war in Iraq and Syria. Furthermore, even if we invade and destroy ISIS, we will withdraw in a few years, and something like ISIS will probably just come back.

What we need is an ally to put boots on the ground against ISIS, who can also act to stabilize the region after ISIS is dispersed.

Turkey is out – even its feint toward limited intervention in Syria generated massive internal dissent. Saudi Arabia doesn’t have the capability. There’s only one potential strategic partner left: Iran.

Iran is already fighting ISIS on the ground. This summer, when it looked like ISIS was about to take Baghdad, Iran sent its best military commander, Qasem Soleimani, to bolster the Iraqi defenses. He apparently succeeded, because there has been little subsequent talk of ISIS taking Baghdad. It also is possible that recent Iraqi Army successes are because of the helping hand of Iranian troops and training. Iran also is, of course, helping Bashar Assad to fight ISIS in Syria.

U.S. aerial firepower and Iranian troops could defeat ISIS, but more crucially, Iran is also in a position to stabilize the region.

Assad is a monster, but if the United States and Iran were allied, he might be pressured

into sharing power with the anti-ISIS rebels after ISIS goes down; as it is, our commitment to get rid of Assad is assuring that Syria will remain in a state of anarchy, a vacuum that only an ISIS-type entity will ever fill. If anyone can pressure Assad and the Iraqi Shiites into sharing power with local Sunnis, it’s an American-Iranian duo.

But there is another reason for us to join with Iran: oil. The Iranian oil industry is currently restricted by U.S.-led sanctions that deprive it of Western technology and investment. With those sanctions removed, Iranian oil would begin to flow; if Iran helps stabilize Iraq, the effect will be multiplied.

Beyond the short-term threats of ISIS and Russia, Iran and the U.S. are, if not natural allies, then at least not natural enemies. Despite being a theocracy, Iran is more democratic and modernized than any country in the region except Israel. Iran’s public is less anti-American than most of our Arab allies, and Iran sends many students to study at American universities.

There are four main obstacles to a U.S.Iran partnership. The first is the unsavory nature of Iran’s allies, Hezbollah and Assad, but these problems would be easier to solve with Iran as an ally than as an enemy. The second is Iran’s nuclear program. But the deal struck last year between Obama and Iran’s new government shows that there is room for compromise. And the prospect of Iran producing nuclear energy would be far less frightening if Iran were aligned with the West. The third problem is the Saudi-Iranian rivalry. But already ISIS is

making Iran and Saudi Arabia realize their common interests. The U.S. also has a good record of persuading ancient enemies to tolerate each other – witness Greece and Turkey in NATO, or Japan and South Korea.

The most intractable obstacle to a U.S.Iran realignment is simply the legacy of enmity. Americans have become so used to thinking of Iran as “the enemy” that many simply cannot countenance a strategic realignment. The same is true in Iran, where the Revolutionary Guard and the mullahs have a deep strategic distrust of a country that overthrew their leader in the 1950s and supported Saddam Hussein against them in the Iran-Iraq War. In the U.S., memories of the hostage crisis remain strong.

We’ve reached the point where the enmity between our countries no longer serves a useful purpose, and simply shambles along, sustained by its own momentum.

But there is an encouraging precedent: the China-U.S. rapprochement of the 1970s.

The U.S. had been a dogged opponent of Communist China, even fighting a war against it in Korea. But the two countries managed to form an unofficial alliance after the Sino-Soviet split, and that partnership was key to winning the Cold War. Another strategic realignment is needed.

Just as Nixon went to China, Obama should go to Iran.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

If you were in a college-level entrepreneurship class with an interest in starting your own business one day, would you want access to someone who had made millions of dollars as an investor?

Of course you would. No doubt you also would want the person speaking to your class to deliver honest answers about how investors evaluate businesses when they are considering buying a stake in them.

That’s what Bruce Rauner did for students at Northern Illinois University last week, although he was attacked for his comments by at least one political action committee.

The attack hardly seems fair, though.

Rauner made millions with the venture capital firm GTCR before he retired in 2012. The firm also managed public pension funds and private equity For the record funds.

While speaking to As the race for Illinois college students about his governor heats up, we’re career, a student in the going to hear more of class asked Rauner about “red flags” that might scare these kind of attacks as the candidates seek to define off venture capitalists. In his answer, Rauner said red their opponents. flags for him included businesses whose incomes were highly seasonal, cash-based businesses, businesses in industries with low barriers to entry and small “mom-and-pop” businesses. You can hear his answer to the question online at http://shawurl.com/1eil.

A Daily Chronicle story summarized that lengthy answer, citing small businesses and cash-based businesses among the “red flag” examples.

The Illinois Freedom PAC, a public employee union-backed group also supported by the Democratic Governors’ Association, pounced on those comments Monday.

“This is part and parcel of Bruce Rauner’s attitudes,” said Illinois Freedom spokesman Neal Waltmire. “It’s the Wall-Street-make-a-profit-at-any-cost attitude.”

Well, it’s certainly reflective of his attitude as a venture capitalist, a pursuit in which he’s been very successful, according to his income tax returns.

Rauner’s also a candidate who wants to reduce taxes on businesses and individuals, which doesn’t suggest that he’s anti-business, no matter if it is large or small.

As the race for Illinois governor heats up between Rauner and incumbent Gov. Pat Quinn (and Libertarian candidate Chad Grimm), we’re going to hear more of these kind of attacks as the candidates seek to define their opponents.

It’s important to remember, though, they will have varying degrees of credibility.

ANOTHER VIEW

Politicizing Perry’s criminal indictment concerning Those who believe that the indictment of Gov. Rick Perry could result in the criminalization of politics voice a legitimate concern. There is, however, another cause for worry. It lies in the reaction to the indictment, amounting to the politicization of a criminal indictment.

Perry was indicted by a Travis County grand jury for abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public servant. Both charges stem from his veto of funding for the Travis County district attorney’s Public Integrity Unit. This came after that Democratic DA – Rosemary Lehmberg – refused to resign after a DWI conviction.

After the indictment, Perry said, “We don’t settle political differences with indictments.” Supporters have alleged a Democratic plot to damage a popular GOP governor who is pursuing a presidential bid.

There’s a big problem with this claim. It’s highly unlikely to be true.

The special prosecutor, Michael McCrum, is a former cop who was nominated by President Barack Obama to be U.S. attorney in San Antonio, backed by the state’s two Republican senators at the time.

He withdrew because of the congressional morass over nominations. Those who know him say he is not swayed by partisanship.

Bert Richardson, the judge who named him, was appointed by a Republican president. And the special prosecutor is independent of the Travis County DA’s office, in any case.

Texans for Public Justice, a watchdog group that has been critical of the governor, forced the issue with its complaint. But a special prosecutor independent of the DA still had to convince a grand jury based on law, not politics.

Absent evidence, we believe both McCrum and the grand jury to be in error on whether Perry crossed a legal line. But we don’t believe politics was the motivation for McCrum, Richardson or the grand jury.

To paraphrase Perry, we don’t settle differences over matters of law by politicizing indictments. Or we shouldn’t, anyway.

A popular GOP governor running for president can get mileage if the candidate is cast as a political martyr. It might even be a matter of political necessity as indictments tend to end presidential ambitions unless they can be spun into something else. But the issue here is a difference of legal interpretation. A trial court will sort these out better than public opinion.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

FIFA medical chief eyes 3-min concussion breaks MANCHESTER, England – FIFA’s medical chief wants to allow referees to stop matches for three minutes to asses head injuries when a concussion is suspected.

Soccer officials have been under pressure to better protect players after there were five concussion cases at the World Cup in Brazil, including several where the player tried to stay on the field. A lawsuit is also being brought in the U.S. chiding FIFA’s guidelines for players who receive serious head injuries.

FIFA medical committee chairman Michel D’Hooghe will seek the approval of the UEFA and FIFA executive committees later this month for “strict rules” that go beyond the existing medical guidance.

“The trigger is that nowadays the player has a concussion, the team doctor arrives there and he has to take a decision in 20 seconds – this is materially impossible in some situations,” D’Hooghe said in an interview with The Associated Press. “We want to give [the doctor] the chance to do a serious examination.

“We want to give him a new authority because what we have seen at the World Cup for instance, the moment a team doctor asks for a replacement, suddenly the player jumps up and says, ‘No, no,’ and of course the coach says, ‘Go on.’ ” In a high-profile incident in the Premier League last season that inspired the proposed rule, Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris was allowed to return to the pitch by coach Andre Villas-Boas during a match against Everton after appearing to lose consciousness when he was struck on the head by an opponent’s knee.

D’Hooghe said doctors rather than coaches should decide whether the player can remain on the pitch.

“This changes a little bit the function of the team doctor in this specific situation,” D’Hooghe said. “We think that three minutes is a correct time for a good evaluation of head injury concussion to see if a player can continue to play.

It’s not always easy. There is no one method in 10 seconds to say if you can go on or not.

“In situations when the player is falling down or is dizzy can he go on or not?

What is the risk if he continues because concussions can be really serious medical problems?”

Carey names Hare starter at quarterback against UNLV

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Drew Hare was the most impressive Northern Illinois quarterback during Saturday’s 23-15 win at Northwestern.

That performance helped him earn NIU’s starting quarterback job, at least for now.

At his weekly news conference Tuesday, NIU head coach Rod Carey named Hare his starter for Saturday’s 6 p.m. game at UNLV. While Hare, Anthony Maddie and Mat McIntosh each received playing time in the Huskies’ first two contests, Carey said the plan is for Hare to play the whole game.

“We’re going to start Drew Hare, and we’ll go with him and he’ll be the guy,” Carey said. “Intentions are to let him in there and let him play and see what he can do with a full game and complete control.”

The sophomore, who battled McIntosh and Maddie from spring ball through the start of the season, went 6 of 10 for 109 yards and two touchdowns Saturday. He did not throw an interception.

Hare hit Da’Ron Brown with an 18-yard strike to give NIU the lead at the end of the third quarter, and threw a beautiful 59-yard TD pass to

Bears weren’t that bad, just not very good The problem with a weekly commitment to film study and grading out performances is that watching stinkers like the Bears’ upset loss to the Bills on Sunday over and over can get old really fast.

What’s interesting, though, is as frustrating as the outcome against Buffalo was, individually most of the Bears weren’t all that bad.

The problem is that none of them were particularly good. At the end of the day, the Bears were just a very average football team, and the Bills were marginally better

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush than average.

Matt Forte, Kyle Long, Jermon Bushrod, Willie Young and Jeremiah Ratliff actually played pretty well, Michael Ola and Brian de la Puente were more than stout coming off the bench, and only Stephen Paea, Ryan Mundy and Chris Conte jumped off the tape because of their struggles.

Score Jay Cutler a B- at quarterback. He made some nice reads, nice throws and big plays, but winning quarterbacks don’t make the throw he did on the Kyle Williams interception. It’s on Cutler more than anyone else that 427 yards of offense yielded only 20 points.

Running backs, basically Matt Forte, get a B+. Forte did everything you could ask of him with what the line gave him to work with.

CLASS stands for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, and encourages students to use their platform in sports to make a positive impact in their community.

Roddy is one of 30 nationwide candidates for the award, one of two from the Mid-American Conference.

Roddy has 1,121 kills in her career, and has a 3.938 GPA as a business management major.

She has also accumulated 30 community service hours during her NIU career.

Ten finalists for the award will be announced midway through the regular season.

The winner will be announced during the 2014 NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball Championship in December.

Buccaneers re-sign NIU’s English The Tampa Bay Buccaneers added Northern Illinois grad Larry English to their 53-man roster Tuesday.

English, the 16th overall pick in the NFL Draft by San Diego in 2009, was released

Schumacher heads home from hospital GLAND, Switzerland – Former Formula One champion Michael Schumacher has left a Swiss hospital and will continue his recovery at home, his manager said Tuesday.

The seven-time F1 champion suffered a serious head injury while skiing in France at the end of December.

“Considering the severe injuries he suffered, progress has been made in the past weeks and months,” his manager, Sabine Kehm, said in a statement. “There is still, however, a long and difficult road ahead.”

Schumacher was transferred to a hospital in Lausanne in June, after six months at a hospital in France. Kehm said he was now at his home in Gland, near Geneva, without specifying when the move happened or giving details about his current condition.

“We ask that the privacy of Michael’s family continue to be respected, and that speculations about his state of health are avoided,” Kehm said.

Schumacher’s accident happened on a family vacation as he was skiing with his 14-year-old son at the Meribel ski resort in the French Alps.

The avid skier hit the right side of his head on a rock, cracking his helmet. Doctors operated to remove blood clots from his brain, but some were left because they were too deeply embedded.

Schumacher’s condition stabilized after he was placed in a drug-induced coma, from which he has since emerged.

Careful, the whole world is watching If you watch the video closely, you can see Ray Rice standing by a casino support pole, seemingly checking his smart phone, waiting for his fiancé, Janay Palmer, to walk by.

When she does, he appears to spit on her from close range.

She turns and pushes him with one hand him in disgust.

Then, in the elevator, while Palmer is trying to push a floor button, Rice appears to strike her twice in the forehead with the bill of the baseball cap he is wearing, jabbing his head forward like a woodpecker.

Shortly comes the left hook seen ’round the world, the efficient, boxer-like blow that lays Palmer out limp as a rug. It’s all horrifying, and we’ve seen it because this is the techno world we live in – cameras are everywhere.

We all know this, and at times we wonder how it got this way – the stealth of Big Brother quietly taking away our privacy until we have no idea when we are or aren’t being recorded somehow.

But say this: the invasion is what we wanted, even if we can’t fully comprehend it and have no idea where it is headed.

Our fear of being watched is less than our fear of not using technology any way we can.

I find deep irony in the fact Rice was watching his glowing smart phone moments before the attack happened, likely as a

VIEWS Rick Telander ploy so he could seem nonthreatening and spit on his girlfriend (now his wife).

Hey, what young hip person doesn’t look at his or her mini-computer constantly?

Never know who might be tweeting! Never know what party might be crankin’, what gossip is brewin’. Hell, there might be a new game out! Or a crazy video!

Video. Oh. yeah. Recording devices. They’re, like, so everywhere.

Rice waits to get into the elevator to drop his chick with a punch, nearly kill her. Why? Because, at last, he figures, nobody’s watching.

Oops. They’re always watching.

The Ravens running back did what’s called a ``self-check’’ in a pickup hoops game.

The whole violent act was caught on the surveillance camera in the top corner of the elevator. As we know, or should know, it’s just a matter of time until any and all damning, humiliating or terrifying footage of anything makes it to the town square.

You Tube, TMZ, and Deadspin have become the clearinghouses for all things video.

Apparently that’s where the NFL goes for its information, too.

Young people can’t live without Facebook and the other self-confessional-type social networks. So when Janay Palmer, now Mrs. Rice, lashes out at, who else? – the media – for ruining her household, you gotta wonder if she realizes that in this day and age, she is the media, too.

“No one knows the pain that the media & unwanted (opinions) from the public has caused my family,’’ she wrote in a – ta da! – Instagram – post. ``To make us relive a moment in our lives that we regret every day is a horrible thing.’’

It is a horrible thing. But such is the transmission and permanence of the electronic records that we think we love and can’t live without.

Ask actress Jennifer Lawrence and others how they feel about their nude photos going viral after being stolen from the supposedly impenetrable “cloud.’’ But they took the shots, or had them taken, and that’s enough.

Remember Eagles wife receiver Riley Cooper’s racist rant last year? Caught by a cell phone camera, posted to the world.

Those Atlanta Hawks executives with the wild race-baiting invectives about attendance and former Bull Luol Deng having ``some African in him,’’

they got nailed from technology – conference calls and emails.

Loony-tunes former Clippers owner Donald Sterling was revealed as the prejudiced, nasty man he likely always has been only because his girlfriend taped one of his racist rants and released it to, who else, TMZ. Even accused-of-murder former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez did the ``self-check’’ on himself. Indeed, it is his own security cameras that seem to show him carrying odd things in and out of his house, including the alleged hand gun used in the execution-style killing for which he is charged.

NFL commissioner Goodell seems clueless about social media. He and his lackeys couldn’t obtain the elevator knock-out video before a gossip site did seven months after the fact?

The Rice couple should know it’s not us in the media turning their lives into hell: Ray Rice is suspended indefinitely from the league and has lost his huge Nike endorsement deal. I’m sorry for that. And for the shame.

But it was the two of you who started this. You and your beloved cameras.

Ferry under fire for racist remarks ATLANTA – Atlanta Hawks CEO Steve Koonin said Tuesday he is sticking with Danny Ferry even though the team’s new majority owner wants the general manager to be fired.

Koonin told the Atlanta’s 92.9 The Game, the Hawks’ flagship radio station, he made the decision to discipline Ferry but keep him in place as GM. He said he relied Danny Ferry on Atlanta law Hawks GM firm Alston and Bird’s three-month investigation of Ferry and his racially charged description of Luol Deng.

Ferry made the inflammatory comments about Deng in a conference call with the Hawks’ ownership group in June when the team pursued Deng as a free agent.

Atlanta media outlets obtained a letter Monday night from co-owner Michael Gearon Jr., which cites Ferry telling the ownership group that Deng “has a little African in him.”

Gearon’s letter on June 12 to co-owner Bruce Levenson said Ferry went on to say, “Not in

a bad way, but he’s like a guy who would have a nice store out front and sell you counterfeit stuff out of the back.”

Added Gearon: “Ferry completed the racial slur by describing the player [and impliedly all persons of African descent] as a two-faced liar and cheat.”

Deng, 29, was born in what is now South Sudan. His father moved his family to Egypt and then England. The 10-year NBA veteran is now a British citizen and played for England in the 2012 Olympics.

Deng, like Ferry, also played at Duke.

Koonin said the firm went through 24,000 documents, conducted 19 interviews and read “every email Danny Ferry has ever sent as general manager of the Atlanta Hawks.” Koonin said no other negative information on Ferry was found in the probe.

“I took their advice and far exceeded their advice,” Koonin said of the undisclosed punishment he imposed on Ferry.

Hawks spokesman Garin Narain said the investigation of Ferry’s comments uncovered a racially inflammatory email written two years ago by Levenson. That discovery led to Levenson’s announcement Sunday that he will sell his controlling share of the team.

Longer Rice video has obscenities, spitting

By ROB MAADDI The Associated Press ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – A longer, more detailed video of the fight between Ray Rice and Janay Palmer shows them shouting obscenities at each other, and she appears to spit in the face of the three-time Pro Bowl running back before he throws a brutal punch.

The video, shown to The Associated Press Monday night by a law enforcement official, includes audio and is longer than the grainy TMZ Sports video released earlier that day.

After the TMZ video made its way around the Internet, the Baltimore Ravens cut Rice and the league suspended him indefinitely. Rice was originally suspended for two games and coaches and others had praised his behavior since the arrest for striking his then-fiancee in February.

The fallout continued Tuesday: Nike severed business

ties with Rice, and video game publisher Electronic Arts said it would scrub all traces of his image from the Madden ‘15 game, the oldest and most popular football video game franchise.

The videos show Rice and Palmer in an elevator at an Atlantic City casino. Each hits the other before Rice knocks Palmer off her feet and into a railing. Months ago, a TMZ video showed Rice dragging Palmer, now his wife, from the elevator at the Revel casino, which closed on Sept. 2.

The higher-quality video shown to the AP shows Rice made no attempt to cover up the incident. After Palmer collapses, he drags her out of the elevator and is met by some hotel staff. One of them can be heard saying, “She’s drunk, right?” And then, “No cops.”

But Rice didn’t respond.

The video was shown to the AP on the condition of anonymity because the official isn’t authorized to release it.

Source: Union could vote on drug policy update

By BARRY WILNER The Associated Press NEW YORK – The 32 player representatives to the union could vote Tuesday on changes to the NFL’s drug policy that potentially could implement HGH testing.

A person familiar with the talks over the past few weeks told The Associated Press that a conference call vote could come Tuesday evening “depending on the type of proposal” the league presents to the players association.

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because drug policy negotiations between the union and league are confidential.

Both sides have discussed changes to the policy on substance abuse and driving under the influence of drugs/alcohol.

The union also is pushing for neutral arbitration in the appeals process and is seeking higher thresholds for positive marijuana tests. But the key element could be a test for human growth hormone.

HGH testing was agreed upon in the 2011 collective bargaining agreement that ended

the lockout of the players.

But the union has been uncomfortable with the science and the procedures for the testing, as well as how appeals would be handled. The league did agree to an appeal process several years ago.

In marijuana testing, the union feels the league’s threshold for a positive test of 15 nanograms per milliliter is too demanding, citing the IOC’s threshold of 150 nanograms, 10 times as high.

The NFL threshold was collectively bargained. But as NFLPA President Eric Winston told the AP last Friday, anyone within the vicinity of people smoking marijuana without partaking themselves could wind up testing positive at such a low number.

“The [potency] level is so much greater in marijuana now, the secondhand smoke can get a positive test,” Winston said.

“Just a guy who is around it second hand, then to have to go into the program? We don’t want false positive.”

We have to move up the minimum to normal workplace standards.”

“I think we understand we didn’t make many shots in the first half but our defense was pretty solid and if we kept the pressure on them, things would open up.”

They did. Quickly.

Klay Thompson scored 20 points and Harden had 12 of his 14 in the third quarter, helping the U.S. turn a close game into a 119-76 rout of Slovenia on Tuesday in the quarterfinals of the World Cup. Kenneth Faried added 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Americans, who will play Lithuania on Thursday in Barcelona for a spot in Sunday’s

gold-medal game in Madrid.

Lithuania beat Turkey, 73-61, earlier Tuesday.

The U.S. led 49-42 at halftime despite shooting just 36 percent, with Harden and Curry, two of the NBA’s top seven scorers, combining to miss all 12 shots.

“I said, ‘I don’t think that’ll happen in the second half’ and it didn’t,” U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said.

Derrick Rose finished with 12 points after coming into the game shooting 8 for 37 in the World Cup. Anthony Davis had 13 points and 11 rebounds.

Goran Dragic of the Phoenix Suns led Slovenia with 13 points.

“We prepare but it’s easy to prepare on the paper,” Slovenia coach Zdovic Jure said.

“Definitely they were so athletic, they were more aggressive second half and actually they punish every mistake.”

The Americans led by only five points early in the third quarter before tearing off a 2710 run. That made it 76-54 with

about two minutes left in the period, and the game turned altogether lopsided after the Americans scored the first 10 points of the fourth quarter to lead, 96-64.

“I thought we played really hard the whole game and we just couldn’t finish in the first half some of those plays,” Krzyzewski said, “and then they stayed with it and then the floodgates opened in the second half.”

So the scoreboard ended up looking much like the Americans’ 101-71 exhibition rout the week the tournament opened, when they had huge advantages in points in the paint and at the free-throw line.

But it didn’t look that way for a while for a U.S. team that had been mostly unchallenged in the tournament while beating opponents by 31.5 points a game.

“We try hard but around 23 minutes it was like, close, the game,” Jure said. “But the power that they have, you know, it was too much for us.”

The Americans shot poorly at the start, but that just gave them more opportunities to pad their rebound totals.

They missed 21 shots in the first quarter but grabbed 14 offensive boards and scored 15 second-chance points, though their lead was only 29-22 after one.

The U.S. lead grew to 12 in the second quarter, but the Americans managed only a 3-pointer by Rudy Gay over the final 2½ minutes, and Zoran Dragic’s 3-pointer with 36 seconds remaining cut it to 49-42 at the break.

“They kind of slowed us down in that first half, dictated the tempo and Coach talked to us second half about playing our brand of basketball and how we like to play,” Harden said. “And we came out with that intensity.”

Harden was 0 for 8 in the half while Curry missed all four of his shots while being limited to eight minutes of playing time because of foul trouble.

Bears face tougher test on the road Sunday • ARKUSH Continued from page B1 nice game, but he can block the run better.

I’ve actually got a B+ for the offensive line. The two sacks allowed are disappointing, but there were few missed blocks, and the backups were solid when called on.

The defensive line gets a C+, although I thought Ratliff did a really nice job absorbing blockers and often eating a gap and a half or two.

Young had a very nice game, and Lamarr Houston was a bit disappointing against the run but pressured the pocket better than I expected.

The problem was as the game wore on they just looked old – which they are. On the two big runs in

overtime, Spiller for 13 and Fred Jackson for 38, Ratliff and Allen were both engaged by just one blocker each and unable to shed and slide down the line to close the holes.

Paea struggled a good part of the day, and Ego Ferguson and Will Sutton were unremarkable in 12 and 11 snaps, respectively.

The linebackers earned a C-. Jon Bostic was the best of the bunch against the run, and it is particularly interesting how many times you see on the tape Shea McClellin arriving at the pile in time to look down at it just after the whistle has blown.

The secondary gets a B-, as holding any NFL team to 167 yards passing over 60plus minutes is a nice day’s work, but individually no one really stood out. Conte and Mundy were OK against

the pass, but they, Charles Tillman and Kyle Fuller struggled against the run.

Fuller’s rookie debut was not particularly auspicious.

Special teams get a C. Patrick O’Donnell had a poor debut averaging just 36.5 net punting yards to Colton Schmidt’s 43.2, and kick and punt overage have to get better.

The coaching staff gets

a C. Clearly they can throw the football, but can they do anything else they’ll need to do to win at this level?

What we know is things get a lot tougher Sunday night.

By TOM COYNE The Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Another week, another Notre Dame rivalry fading away.

This week, it’s in-state rival Purdue, a team the Fighting Irish have faced more than twice as often as Michigan.

But the ending of the game played every year since 1946 likely will receive less attention than last week’s game against the Wolverines, in part because they still have plans to play again. It just won’t be annually.

Coach Brian Kelly is doing his best to sell the Boilermakers as a team capable of pulling the upset despite Notre Dame’s dominating 31-0 victory over the Wolverines last week and Purdue’s embarrassing 38-17 loss to Central Michigan.

“It’s an in-state rival. Just throw out all that’s happened before. They just play very well and with great enthusiasm,” Kelly said.

Sure, it sounds like typical coachspeak. But Kelly has history on his side. The Boilermakers (1-1) have given the 11th-ranked Irish (2-0) scares the past two seasons.

In 2012, backup quarterback Tommy Rees needed to drive the Irish 55 yards to set

Central Michigan’s Thomas Rawls eludes the grasp of Purdue’s Sean Robinson, Saturday, during a game at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, Ind. up a 27-yard field goal by Kyle Brindza with seven seconds left for a 20-17 win. Last season, the Irish didn’t take the lead until early in fourth quarter in a 31-24 victory.

Purdue also has some big upsets over the Irish. It earned the nickname of “Spoilermakers” by beating top-ranked Notre Dame teams four times between 1950 and 1967. The first upset, in 1950, was a true shocker at the time because the Irish hadn’t lost since 1945, hadn’t lost at home since 1942, had won three of the previous four national championships and had a 39-game unbeaten

streak.

The Boilermakers cost the Irish a shot at a national championship in 1954 when Len Dawson threw for four touchdowns in a 27-14 victory that ended a 13-game winning streak. It was the only loss for that season for the Irish (9-1), who finished the season ranked No. 4. The golden age in the rivalry from Purdue’s perspective occurred from 1958-1969, winning nine times in 12 seasons. Despite being just 6-5 against the Boilermakers, Irish coaching great Ara Parseghian is disappointed the series is ending.

Spartans’ freshman scores late equalizer Adding BC means shifting Wyoming game • SPARTANS Continued from page B1 with 3 minutes remaining.

Sycamore (4-4-1) took the lead in the eighth minute of the match. Tyler Maveus played a ball out to the right wing.

Coulibaly ran with the ball to the end line and played a cross back across goal, where Ivan Chavez was there to convert the chance.

The second goal came from Jarrett Brown, whose effort put the Spartans up, 2-0.

Brown forced a turnover with a nice tackle, skipped past a defender and slotted the ball by the goalkeeper.

The counter attack is a major aspect of the Spartan

attack.

“We try to transition as quickly as we can. We play the ball to our forward’s feet,” Brown said. “It was good.

It was exciting. Both teams played their hearts out and everyone put everything on the line for the game.”

After the second half started, the Redskins scored three times.

The first came on a chip from Connor Shaw in the 47th minute. Nick Borgstrom equalized with a direct freekick 11 minutes later. Morris took the lead with a goal by Kaleb Hefford with seven minutes remaining.

“You kind of lose focus of where you are at. We started losing shape,” Bachta said.

“Our center midfielders started drifting too forward. And, when that happens, there are going to be holes behind them.”

Coulibaly’s late equalizer came in the 74th minute.

Chavez collected a pass from Adrian Mendez, ran at the defense and played a centering pass to Coulibaly. The freshman did well with the chance and sent it into the Morris net.

“I got the ball and ran it down the line, gave in the cross and Matt Coulibaly was there to finish it off,” Chavez said. “It gave everyone a rush at the end. Everyone became enlightened and everyone was trying extremely hard at the end.”

• SCHEDULE Continued from page B1 We’re really looking forward to going to Boston next year and to the Eagles playing in Huskie Stadium.”

To make room for next season’s Boston College game, NIU and Wyoming have moved the contest scheduled

for Sept. 26, 2015, to Sept. 11, 2021.

In July’s “SchedulePalooza,” NIU announced homeand-homes with San Diego State, Utah, BYU and Maryland.

The 2015 nonconference slate now includes home games against UNLV (Sept. 5) and FCS Murray State (Sept.

12), and contests at Ohio State

(Sept. 19) and Boston College.

Frazier also said NIU will have more scheduling announcements later this month. There are still two open nonconference spots in the Huskies’ 2016 schedule around games Wyoming and San Diego State.

The Huskies will play at 6 p.m. Saturday at UNLV as the first part of a home-and-home.

Hare to start for 1st time since high school Continued from page B1 Brown in the fourth. He also ran for 31 yards, including a 4-yard touchdown.

“Obviously, he stood in there and threw the ball well.

Made some timely throws when he had to, and his reads were good from the pass game to the run game and how we operated the offense. Overall, it was a pretty good performance,” Carey said. “I wouldn’t call it good or great, I would call it pretty good and I think he would echo

the same thing after seeing it on film.

“Fundamentally there are a lot of things he needs to get cleaned up in his play just with his own fundamentals. I know he’ll go to work on that this week.”

Hare didn’t get in until the second half of Saturday’s game, with McIntosh getting the nod in the first two games.

Now, he’ll be starting a contest for the first time since he was a senior at Fort Zumwalt West High School in the St. Louis area in 2011.

He took all the first-team reps during Tuesday’s practice at Huskie Stadium.

“It’s the same way every week. I’ve always tried to prepare like a starter, like if I was going to be ready to play at any moment,” Hare said. “I feel like the preparation’s the same.”

Carey told Hare on Monday that he would be the starting quarterback against UNLV. “I was happy,” he said. “Obviously I’ve been working really hard to get to this position.

But work isn’t over, have to win some games now.”

CHILL FACTOR

Pour liquids in first for efficient blending; then add powders such as protein mixes and dried greens.

Add soft and hard produce, and fibrous foods such as nuts and dried fruits, then frozen fruits.

The ice goes in last to help pull all the other ingredients down into the blades for even mixing.

A basic smoothie is quick and easy, and contains three essential elements: a liquid, a base (fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables) and a chill factor (ice or frozen fruit). Those simple components inspire all kinds of wonderful-tasting blends. Choose ingredients for nutrition and pleasure (yes, you can have both) in equal measure, taking into account taste, texture and vibrant color. After all, nobody wants to drink anything that looks and tastes like the place where the plants came to die.

Amounts can vary depending on the size of your blender jar and personal preference.

Consuming smoothies right away maximizes nutrient value. However, for convenience, they can be refrigerated in sealed glass containers for a few hours or overnight. For longer storage, freeze in glass jars, allowing an inch of space for expansion of liquids. Defrost in the refrigerator, then shake or blend before serving.

Adding foods such as fennel, cinnamon, ginger and cayenne not only balances cooling blends but also gives smoothies a nice kick, stimulates the lymphatic system and can detoxify.

Rotate your greens To avoid oxalic toxicity (which can deplete calcium from bones and teeth), blend a variety of greens.

Start with mild leafy greens such as spinach, romaine, radish greens and kale. Work your way up to more pungent greens such as collard, chard, beet greens and arugula. Then introduce wild edibles such as dandelion greens.

Juicing removes skins and piths, which is good for cleansing or recovery from acute illness, as it offers a nutrient-dense experience that accommodates gentler digestion. Blending retains all the nutrients in skins, piths and seeds; that kind of fiber slows down the assimilation of sugars, assists with bowel regularity and is thought to help eliminate toxins.

Adding ½ teaspoon of probiotic powder or the contents of 1 probiotic capsule helps to balance the natural sugar content of sweet smoothies, aids the digestive system and can boost immunity. It is undetectable in a smoothie and a great way to get your daily dose.

Drizzle in a healthy extra Cold-pressed oils such as flaxseed, hemp, borage, avocado, coconut, macadamia, pumpkin seed and olive are healthful boosts. Start small, with just a teaspoon.

Add gradually, usually about a tablespoon -- just enough so you can't detect it.

Watch your combos If bloating is a concern, pay attention to food combining. Blending certain fruits and vegetables together is problematic for some people and not others. Adding too much fruit or sugar to blends, or drinking high-water-content foods after other concentrated foods, also can cause problems. Consult a registered dietitian or nutritionist.

Blend up a more adult drink with tequila, ice cream

By ELIZABETH KARMEL Texas Tequila Milkshake

AP photo

The Associated Press Here’s a fact you need to know – aged tequilas pair beautifully with ice cream.

When I discovered this a few years ago, I started making these insanely easy, totally crave-worthy milkshakes. And I’m warning you, you won’t be able to stop at one. And that’s why I often serve these in shot glasses. It makes it easier to keep going back for more without going overboard.

For ease, you can blend these shakes in advance, then place the blender carafe in the freezer. The alcohol will prevent the mixture from freezing solid, and you can just give it a quick whir back on the blender base before serving.

This way you also can re-fill one glass at a time and store the rest in the freezer.

The beauty of this threeingredient shake is that it is made with ice cream, so you don’t need to add ice and dilute the flavor.

For this shake, I went with the rounder and milder reposado tequila. Reposado means “rested,” and it has to be aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 2 months (but less than a year). This time in the barrel gives the tequila an amber color, as opposed to the white “blanco” tequila, which is un-aged. It also removes the harshness of the new tequila and deepens the flavor, bringing out the vanilla notes.

The reposado tequila pairs perfectly with vanilla ice cream, and caramel or chocolate liqueur enhances the flavor, making a boozy shake that is perfectly balanced without any bite.

This is a great drink for a theme party, as you can easily find novelty shot glasses to match any occasion and let your guests take the glasses home as a souvenir of the day. Or serve them in tall, slender glasses for a more sophisticated feel. Either way, this blender drink fits into any party, any time.

Texas Tequila Milkshake Start to finish: 5 minutes Servings: 4 1 pint vanilla ice cream 1/2 cup (4 ounces) Godiva Caramel or Chocolate liqueur 1/2 cup (4 ounces) reposado tequila In a blender, combine all ingredients and blend until smooth. Divide between 4 chilled glasses. Serve immediately or, for a thicker consistency, place the glasses in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Banish the blues with healthy blueberry muffins

Strawberry-Banana-Chia Breakfast Smoothie

EVERYDAY DINNERS Sara Moulton

Leave them feeling full with chia seeds

By MELISSA D’ARABIAN The Associated Press Pity the chia seed. For so long, this nutritional powerhouse was relegated to late-night television commercials hawking sprouting cat-shaped clay planters.

That is, until recently.

Americans have suddenly realized chia seeds have a lot to offer a healthy diet. A tiny tablespoon of chia seeds crams in tons of protein, fiber, healthy fats, calcium, iron, manganese, phosphorus and omega fatty acids.

That’s a lot to offer in a little seed.

But the real reason I love chia so much? It fills me up, and that keeps me from getting hungry (and cranky) and grabbing the wrong kind of snack later in the day. That’s because when soaked in a liquid, chia seeds expand. They also release natural thickeners, creating a pudding-like mixture.

Another bonus is that chia seeds are shelf-stable.

That means I can buy them in large quantities in bulk or on sale, and that makes the budgeter in me happy.

Not sure what to do with chia seeds? Here are some easy ideas: Very trendy right now is chia pudding. Just mix 2 tablespoons of chia seeds with 2/3 cup dairy milk or milk

alternative and let sit in the refrigerator overnight. By morning it will be thick and rich, perfect for topping with fruit and nuts for a healthy breakfast, snack or dessert.

You also can use the seeds as-is sprinkled on almost anything – salads, granola, yogurt, rice. The crunch they add is great.

Similar to the pudding, you can make a chia “gel,” which can be stirred into sauces, dips, or salad dressings to lend a more satisfying texture to otherwise lean items. To make a gel, mix 1 tablespoon of seeds with a 1/2 cup of water (or other liquid, such as coconut water) and let sit for 20 minutes. Chia gel even can be substituted for some of the fat in baking recipes.

Ground chia seeds can be swapped for part of the flour in many recipes. Or stir chia seeds into thawed frozen fruit and let sit 20 minutes and you’ll have a sauce for ice cream, yogurt or cake.

Perhaps my favorite use of chia, especially for hectic school mornings, is boosting the fiber and protein of a smoothie. You’ll be impressed by the staying power chia seeds give a simple smoothie. But only add the seeds at the end. Blending them in too soon will produce a gelatinous and unappealing texture.

Strawberry-Banana-Chia Breakfast Smoothie Start to finish: 10 minutes Servings: 2 1 1/2 cups low-fat milk, divided 2 tablespoons chia seeds 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, sliced 1 banana, frozen and cut into slices or chunks 1 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional) 1 cup ice cubes In a small cup or bowl, use a fork to stir together 1/2 cup of milk and the chia seeds. Set aside for 5 minutes while you prepare the smoothie.

In a blender, combine the remaining milk, strawberries, banana, yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if using) and the ice cubes. Blend on high until creamy and smooth, 30 to 60 seconds.

Stir the chia seed and milk mixture to break up any clumps, then add to the blender and pulse on low once for 1 to 2 seconds, or just until the chia seeds mix into the smoothie, but before they are blended. Divide between 2 glasses and serve. If you want the chia seeds to plump up more, let the smoothies sit for 5 minutes before drinking.

Ripe, plentiful blueberries are such a highlight of summer that some of us are prone to getting the blueberry blues during the rest of the year.

Happily, imported and frozen blueberries make it easy to enjoy them all the time. In fact, if you’re really on your game, you can pick extra now and freeze them for later. And when later comes around, those frozen handpicked berries make for some pretty awesome muffins.

But before you get out the muffin pan, let’s tackle some of the issues we often run into when making muffins.

Typically, the batter is made with white flour and a ton of fat and sugar. It’s a delicious combination, but one that makes blueberry muffins more an indulgence than a healthy choice.

It was easy to swap some of the white flour with whole wheat, but I also added oat flour to the mix. I worried oat flour might be hard to find, but that’s when I discovered that making your own is easy; just pulverize the oats in a blender until smooth. I loved what the oats brought to the recipe besides lots of fiber and nutrients, principally a sweeter and heartier flavor than wheat flour.

They also made the muffins moister.

Thanks to the mashed banana, which contributed moisture of its own, this recipe for a dozen muffins required only 3 tablespoons of butter. Just make sure the banana is very ripe to get the most out of its flavor and natural sugars. I also substituted low-fat – and big-flavored – buttermilk for the full-fat milk usually called for.

Finally, I jacked up the pleasure quotient by adding lemon and cinnamon – which always pair up beautifully with blueberries – and conjured some crunch by topping the muffins with a little extra sugar.

Considering that this recipe requires only 25 minutes of hands-on time, you might frequently find yourself whipping up batches of blueberry muffins in the dead of winter. They are sure to banish those blueberry blues.

Bars are sweet no-bake snacks

By LISA YOCKELSON The Washington Post Handmade fruit bars, created with a selection of dried fruit and an assortment of other elements, are a flavorful item to add to your no-bake repertoire.

The key to a tasty result is to use a variety of sticky dried fruit, nuts and seeds; integrating a little coconut oil helps to bind the mixture, while a good splosh of vanilla extract rounds out and deepens the flavor.

Once pasty and pressed into a loaf pan, the confection is refrigerated until firm and easy to slice.

(If the mixture is not thoroughly processed until pasty, it will not adhere to itself well enough, and will not cut cleanly once thoroughly chilled.) You should be able to see small bits and flecks of the nuts and seeds rather than one solid color.

Carefully remove the blade from the food processor, and use a sturdy offset knife to dislodge any fruit bar paste that might cling to the blade, then use the knife to scrape and transfer globs of the fruit mixture to the loaf pan. Use a flexible spatula to firmly press the mixture into an even layer. If desired, coarsely chop extra coconut flakes, cashews and/or pumpkin seeds (about 4 teaspoons total) and distribute evenly over the surface, gently pressing them in place while the mixture is still sticky.

Fold over the flaps of plastic wrap directly on the surface. Refrigerate for 5 hours, or up to overnight, until quite firm.

Use a sharp chef’s knife to cut the loaf into 16 equal slices (bars), or store the fruit-bar block whole in the loaf pan and slice to order. Keep refrigerated, either way.

NIU, CLC sign reverse transfer agreement Flanked by students, Northern Illinois University President Doug Baker and College of Lake County President Girard W. Weber signed an innovative reverse transfer agreement during a Friday afternoon ceremony at NIU’s Barsema Alumni and Visitor’s Center. The agreement allows eligible NIU students who transferred from CLC without associate degrees to earn the twoyear degree using credit from NIU courses.

“For different reasons, students may transfer without completing all the requirements for an associate degree,” Weber said in a news release. “That’s unfortunate because earning the associate degree tangibly demonstrates that a student is serious about success, and it can be a resume-enhancer for internships and summer employment. The reverse transfer agreement with NIU provides a way for students who have left CLC without their associate degree to get this valuable credential.”

“Postsecondary education is a powerful force for career advancement, and a skilled workforce helps our region maintain its competitive advantage,” Baker said in the release. “This partnership with CLC positions students for career success by breaking down barriers and providing a seamless process to receive credit for work they’ve already completed towards an associate’s degree.”

NIU now has reverse transfer agreements with six community colleges across the state, and the university expects to announce several more in the near future. These agreements allow students to better tailor their educational experiences to their own personal financial situation, skills, needs and objectives.

Lt. Governor Sheila Simon specifically noted NIU’s innovative work to streamline course credit transfers from one school to another in her in her “College Completion Playbook,” released in 2013. More than 150 higher education administrators from around the state received the playbook, which cites effective practices of leading educators, national experts, faculty, administrators and other professionals in helping more students complete college at less cost.

KOVELS: ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING

BY TERRY KOVEL KOVELS.COM Furniture made from recycled workbenches and school lockers, or huge metal parts from factory machines is not a new idea. Our ancestors recycled clothing into quilts, tin advertising signs into patches for a leaky roof and cattle horns into Victorian chairs. The earliest horn furniture was made in Germany in the 1830s, and by the late 1870s, it was being made in the United States. Slaughterhouses in Chicago had a huge supply of horns left over from the processing of meat. It is said that the Tobey Furniture Co. of Chicago exhibited a sofa and chair made with horn arms at the Chicago Exposition of 1876. Later they also used horns for the legs and backs with upholstered seats, forming furniture with the curving lines popular at the time. Horns from buffalo, elk and longhorn cattle, as well as antlers, were used for tables, hall trees, rocking chairs and footstools. This novel furniture lost favor, and by the 1890s was bought for hunting lodges and cabins. By 1900, horn chairs were considered old-fashioned and not often seen. But there was a revival of interest in the 1980s, and old pieces brought good prices at auctions. Today an antique piece of horn furniture made and signed by a famous maker, or one that shows exceptional skill with clever design and inlays, retails for over $10,000. Average pieces bring $1,000 to $2,000 or less.

A: Your set of Depression Glass dishes is about 75 years old, not 100.

They were made in the late 1930s by the Hazel-Atlas Glass Co. of Wheeling, W.Va. The pattern usually is called “Ships” or “Sailboat.” The pattern was made by adding the ship decoration to Hazel-Atlas’ undecorated Moderntone dishes. Pitchers and tumblers in the Ships pattern are not in great demand these days, but if yours are in perfect condition they would sell - the pitcher for about $50 and the glasses for $10$20 each, depending on their size. *** Q: We have a set of children’s furniture that includes a crib, dresser, chifferobe with drawers and a door, and a toy box. A tag on the back reads “Little Edison Furniture.” We bought it in 1948, and it has served 17 children through the years. It’s been professionally refinished and the lid to the toy box has been replaced. Any idea what the set is worth?

A line of children’s furniture was introduced in 1927. It was sold under the name “Edison Little Folks Furniture” beginning in 1937. The parent company merged with McGraw Electric Company in 1957 and became McGraw-Edison.

A: Not much. Satsuma is a Japanese ware. It’s crackle-glazed and cream-colored with multicolor decorations. It was first made in the 1600s in the Satsuma area of Japan. Today it’s also made in potteries near Kyoto. Any piece of pottery marked “Satsuma” in English probably dates from the 1970s or later. And anything also marked “Made in China” is not real Satsuma.

Perhaps your Chinese vase used the pattern name Satsuma to mislead collectors. Marks on genuine Satsuma, most of them in Japanese, can be found online.

Mixed-race baby a surprise but not outcast Dear Abby: I am five months pregnant with my second child and engaged to a wonderful man, “Tony.”

We get along well with my exhusband with whom I share custody of my first child. But problems may arise when the baby is born.

I had a night of sex with a friend who is of a different race. Tony knows about it and the possibility that the baby will be mixed. He feels strongly that he will help me raise the child as his own.

My family knows nothing about this, nor does my ex. How should I handle the possible backlash and confusion if this child is, indeed, the product of my one-night

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips stand? – Scared in the South Dear Scared: Say nothing prematurely. If your baby turns out to be mixed race, deal with it matter-of-factly.

While there may be confusion, all you have to do is say that you and Tony plan to raise this child together in a loving family. If they wish to participate, they are welcome. If not, make it clear that you will do it without their help.

Your baby will not be alone. According to the Cen-

sus Bureau, the population of mixed-race Americans grew 32 percent from 2000 to 2010.

Dear Abby: My girlfriend, “Donna,” and I have been together for eight years. We have a great relationship, respect each other and never argue. She has a low-paying job, and I don’t ask much of her in regard to rent or other bills, but she does buy a few groceries now and then.

I have always told Donna that if she ever needs money, all she has to do is ask me and I’ll help with what I can. My dilemma is that she “borrowed” about $50 in change I had been saving in a coffee can and didn’t tell me. When I asked her about it, she said

she’d put it back. That was more than a month ago.

Am I being petty? I’d hate for this to become an issue between us. Should I say something again, or just wait to see what Donna does? – Shortchanged Guy Dear Shortchanged: That Donna would take the money, not tell you, and not pay it back or start “feeding the kitty” is disappointing.

Because it bothers you to the point of writing to me, tell her what’s on your mind. If you don’t, it will fester until there is an eruption. Better to air this now, before it grows out of proportion.

Dear Abby: Upon going into a public women’s restroom

Here are some things you can do to keep your nails healthy and combat dehydration: • Avoid long hot baths or showers.

• Always moisturize your hands after washing and drying them.

• Use a moisturizer (petroleum jelly is fine) on your hands and nails at bedtime.

• Avoid prolonged exposure to cold, dry weather. Wear gloves outdoors.

• Trim your nails regu-

larly to keep them short and smoothly rounded at the tips.

• Protect fingernails from injury. Wear gloves if you are working with your hands.

• Don’t bite your nails or the protective cuticles around them.

• Use a nail hardener or clear polish to strengthen the nails.

• Don’t use nail polish remover more than twice a month.

• If you get manicures, stick with reputable nail salons that sterilize instruments. Better yet, bring your own.

• Trim your nails only after soaking them or after a bath or shower. They’ll be less likely to split.

• File your nails in one direction only, and use a fine emery board or file.

• In hot weather or when exercising, stay well hydrated.

The vertical lines or “ridging” you mentioned is a natural part of nail growth.

Ridging tends to happen more as we get older, and I don’t know of any way to eliminate it.

Finally, don’t fall for the many myths and misconceptions about nail care. For example, eating gelatin or soaking your nails in it will not make your nails healthier or longer.

I recall the first time a patient asked me about her brittle nails. Particularly

since this patient also had serious heart and lung disease, I wondered why she was bringing it up. I surely hadn’t been taught anything in medical school about problems with fingernails.

A senior colleague gave me some wise advice: “People care about their appearance – a lot. Some people care more about their appearance than about their life-threatening illnesses. Don’t dismiss those concerns.”

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Simplicity will be the key to your success this year. Don’t try to divide your time between too many projects or challenges.

Maintain your discipline, and focus on what you can do, not what stands in your way. Getting upset at inconveniences will be a waste of time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – This is not the day to try to outwit the opposition. You will get further if you spend some downtime doing things you find relaxing. Save your battles for another day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Don’t allow anyone to undermine your integrity. Stay in control and in command. Be firm regarding your intentions, and refuse to let anyone steal your ideas or take credit for your work.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Put your ideas into practice. Stop procrastinating, and finish what you start. If you keep jumping from project to project, you can’t expect to get ahead.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Your day will bring you more benefits than you anticipate. Outstanding results will occur if you make personal changes. Everything is pointing to success and satisfaction.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Plan your next move carefully. If you rush ahead without considering the consequences, you will be disappointed with the results. A slow approach will be in your best interest.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You are a prime candidate for a leadership position. Invest in yourself and let your dynamic personality propel you forward. A proposal you make will gain you unexpected allies.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t act irrationally. Think twice before you decide to eliminate people or possessions from your life. You will not get the chance to recover something you foolishly abandon.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Watch out for damaging gossip about you that is currently circulating. The best way to combat negative attention is to maintain a trustworthy reputation, work hard and play fair. It’s in your best interest to compromise.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Add comfort and value to your home with renovations or upgrades. A small mistake will escalate into big trouble if you don’t deal with it immediately.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – An upsetting turn of events will work out to your advantage. More cash will come your way if you check out new opportunities and options. Call in an old debt or favor.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t get hung up on what’s happening around you. Keep your emotions out of the equation. If you can remain focused, you will knock a lot of items off of your to-do list.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Romance is looking good for you. This will be a great day to seek recognition for your work on a current project. New friends and moneymaking opportunities are heading your way.

I’ve also noticed ridges. What can I do?

Dear Reader: Many of my patients notice that their fingernails become thinner, more brittle and fragile with age.

Nails may split lengthwise, or separate in thin layers at the tips. The nails may look different as well. They may become yellowed or dull, and many develop thin, vertical ridges.

CROSSWORD

Another variation Shoshana Zuboff, who recently retired from her post as the Charles Edward Wilson Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, said, “Activities that seem to represent choices are often inert reproductions of accepted practice.”

There are bridge deals that appear to fit a mold, but with careful analysis, one can see that they are not an inert reproduction of accepted practice.

In today’s deal, South is in two no-trump. How should he plan the play after West leads the heart queen and East signals with his nine?

South starts with six top tricks: two spades, one heart and three diamonds. There are two routes to eight tricks: four spades, one heart and three diamonds; or two spades, one heart and five diamonds. Getting four spade tricks seems to require the finesse to work – a 50 percent chance; while collecting five diamond winners is a 54 percent shot.

So it seems right to play on diamonds. Here, though, when the diamonds break badly, South does not have a hand entry to take the spade finesse.

He will cash the spade ace and king to drop the queen, but that only provides three tricks in the suit, not four.

The right line, after winning with the heart ace, is to lead the spade jack to encourage West to cover if he has the queen.

But after he plays low, declarer wins with dummy’s king and cashes the spade ace. When the queen drops, South leads a spade to his nine, then takes dummy’s three top diamonds and spade 10 for his contract.

If the spade queen does not appear, declarer needs diamonds to run.

LEARNING 7

Excellence in Education Awards seek nominations Community nominations for the 2015 DeKalb County Excellence in Education Awards are due Oct. 1 to the DeKalb County Community Foundation, 475 DeKalb Ave., Sycamore IL 60178.

Nomination forms can be found online on the DeKalb County Community Foundation website, www.dekalbccf.org/give/philanthropy/eie.php.

The Excellence in Education Awards were established in 1999 by retired Sycamore elementary school teacher, Yvonne Johnson, with an endowment fund at the DeKalb County Community Foundation. The purpose of the awards is to honor and acknowledge outstanding teachers, administrators and support staff from school districts throughout DeKalb County. Winners each year receive $1,000 and are recognized during a reception in March.

A complete description of nominee eligibility requirements is found on the nomination

form. The most important quality of a nominee should be his or her superior ability to inspire a love of learning in students of all backgrounds and abilities.

Community members are welcomed and encouraged to submit nominations for any of the following five categories: teacher grades Pre-K to 5, teacher grades 6 to 8, teacher grades 9 to 12, school support staff, and administration. Nominations will be reviewed by a joint committee of teachers and administrators. The committee seeks nominations from the community members and each school district. A cooperative effort will strengthen this award program designed to honor outstanding members of the profession and promote awareness of the quality education in our schools.

For more information, contact Becky Zantout at the DeKalb County Community Foundation at becky@dekalbccf.org or 815-748-5383.

The Indian Valley Vocational Center Culinary Arts program recently received a John Boos & Co. cutting block that was donated for educational use. Boos Blocks are regarded as being the best cutting boards available and are used by many famous chefs worldwide.

The AUJUS Boos block provided is very large and made from the finest American hardwoods, as are all of Boos products. Mandy Sheehan of the Boos Co. was responsible for setting up the donation.

The IVVC Culinary Arts program is being instructed this year by Chef Rachel Conover.

Would you like to know how to feed, bathe and play with an elephant? Have you ever wondered how to cut an elephant’s toenails? Then Riddle’s Elephant and Wildlife Sanctuary elephant care classes may be for you!

Located in the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas, they attract students from all over the world who want to gain skills for careers working in zoos, circuses, elephant research, veterinary science, wildlife conservation and more.

Riddle’s Elephant and Wildlife Sanctuary was established by Scott and Heidi Riddle in 1990 on 330 acres in the Ozark Mountain foothills in Arkansas as a home for elephants—no matter what species, gender, age or disposition.

For more information, go to www.elephantsanctuary.org.

Do you gasp when television and film actors fall from great heights, run through burning buildings or crash into things? Most of these breath-taking feats are done by highly trained stunt people. And they go to special schools to learn how to perform these death-defying acts safely.

U S E L A S S N C S E T K L U R S A D L C O U I E A M I L O

An elephant’s is the of any land mammal.

2. Start saying the word “okay” every time you give the sea lion a fish. Pretty soon they expect that if they hear the word “okay,” they will get a fish.

3. Next, a “target” (a stick with a floater ball on the end) is put in front of the sea lion. Each time the sea lion touches its nose to the target, the trainer says, “okay” and gives a fish.

N E N E L P P H S O E N R W E L H S T H I A S O O C S A U C C I P M H L O R N S S L A E K A C C T T E S O Y R T S A P L Standards Link: Letter sequencing. Recognizing identical words. Skim and scan reading. Recall spelling patterns.

Use the code to find out about elephants.

Elephants have only teeth.

1. Give them lots of love and positive experiences to establish trust.

What Do You Want To Be? Look through the newspaper for a career that you would like to have. Make a list of skills you might need. Research places to get training in this career.

Standards Link: Life Work: Students research skills or training for a specific job.

Now the sea lion knows: target = okay = fish.

4. This is repeated to reward other behaviors on cue. For example, if the trainer touches a front flipper and the sea lion raises its flipper, the trainer says, “okay,” and gives a fish.

Now the sea lion knows: touch flipper = raise flipper = okay = fish.

Standards Link: Life Science: Know that the behavior of animals is influenced by cues.

Kid Scoop Sponsored By

An elephant’s has 150,000 muscles.
