The three-year deal came after 10 months of negotiations. Talks had stalled in the fall over salary and benefit differences.

Dog days of winter

jengelhardt@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Frosty paws and frozen tails can mean big trouble for man’s best friend.

With wind chills dropping to 40 degrees below zero and temperatures expected to fall to single digits again in the coming days, this winter has been just as dangerous for dogs as the people who care for them.

The greatest threat to pets needing to go outdoors is frostbite to ears, tails and paws. Frostbite to pads on the paws causes open wounds that make it painful for

Frostbite to ears or tails would have much worse consequences and likely result in amputation, said local veterinarian Christina Bemis.

“Anytime the temperature is below 40 you should start taking precautions,” said Bemis, who works at the Crystal Lake Veterinary Hospital. “Wind chill can be especially dangerous if dogs are outside for a long time.”

Bemis said she recommended putting sweaters on small dogs for extra protection and wiping off the

WASHINGTON – Tightening the reins on the nation’s sweeping surveillance operations, President Barack Obama on Friday ordered new limits on the way intelligence officials access phone records from hundreds of millions of Americans – and moved toward eventually stripping the massive data collection from the government’s hands.

But Obama’s highly anticipated intelligence recommendations left many key details unresolved, most notably who might take over as keeper of the vast trove of U.S. phone records. Final decisions on that and other major questions were left to the Justice Department and to intelligence agencies that oppose changing surveillance operations, and to a Congress that is divided about the future of the programs.

If fully implemented, Obama’s proposals would mark the most significant changes to the surveillance laws that were passed in reaction to the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. While Obama has said he has welcomed the recent spying debate, it’s unlikely to have happened without the national and international backlash following a wave of leaks from former National Security Agency analyst Edward Snowden.

For now, the phone records will continue to reside with the government. But the NSA will need to get approval from

Laundry 101: Failure is the only option Most of us men recognize the essentiality of clean clothes. We understand there is a never-ending cycle that moves our underwear from the purity of the Fruit of the Loom to the boxer rebellion and back again.

And we regretfully accept the fact that there is no such thing as “Spontaneous Garmental Laundribustion.”

But, as difficult as it is to believe, even though we men have mastered such inherently complicated tasks as replacing the line on a Weed Wacker and microwaving a bag of popcorn, we are still a bit overwhelmed with the whole laundry concept.

I think the problem starts with our idea of when it is time to wash something. For example, to the average man, a pair of jeans can go weeks without a wash. This has actually been proven scientifically. A study showed jeans will not accumulate any more bacteria after 300 wears than after 13.

So all we have to do is reach that magic number and we’re home free for almost a year. Sure, you might

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava spill spaghetti sauce on them in the meantime, but I think that’s why they invented a stain remover called Dawn dish soap.

We men also do not like to read directions, like what the labels of our clothes say about how to wash them.

To us, some of those labels read like the Great American Novel: “Call me Ishmael. Machine wash cold. Wash with colors. Somewhere in la Mancha. Nonchlorine bleach only.

Tumble-dry low. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Iron as needed.” See what I mean?

Then there is the complicated sorting process. We men are easily confused with choices. Give us a menu at Chili’s and our heads are spinning with just the appetizers. Toss in the choice of fajitas or quesadillas and

we’re as perplexed as a piña in search of a colada.

But that’s nothing compared to the divvying up of whites, lights, darks, mediums, colors, pastels, prints and colorfasts, not to mention delicates, as in, “Honey, do I put my delicates in with my Walter Payton jersey?”

But even if we get things sorted out, we still have to confront the washer, which to us may as well be the control panel of the space shuttle.

To us a “Cycle” has two wheels and goes really fast. “Temperature” determines whether we play golf or not. And I’m not going to get into our interpretation of “Load Size.”

Then you have to figure out what type of detergent to use. My wife has powder stuff, liquid stuff, tablet stuff, pod stuff and spray stuff. She has regular bleach, nonchlorine bleach, oxidizing bleach and non-oxidizing bleach. Geesh, it’s like I’m married to Marie Curie.

To us men, the dryer is simply a washer with a window. The folding

process leaves us baffled as our laundry often takes on the form of origami sculptures. I swear I once folded a bath towel into the shape of a crane.

So, ladies, before you hang us out to dry, maybe you just should accept the fact that when it comes to Laundry 101, failure is the only option for us men. We can be trained to set the table. You can teach us to vacuum. But put a laundry basket in our hands and you’re just asking for a pink-tinged, static-clung, origami-folded shrunken wardrobe.

For just as the ocean meets the shore, there are limits to the male laundry skill set. Just be thankful we don’t want to do the grocery shopping.

8TODAY’S TALKER

Con man on trial also sought to assault mechanic The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Joseph Romano was once a wealthy swindler who had a taste for vintage cars – a 1957 Chevy, a 1968 Camaro, a 1967 Impala – and a hefty bill with a mechanic that he wasn’t paying.

A dispute over the bill is a strange footnote to the ongoing trial where Romano is accused in a failed plot to mutilate and kill a prosecutor and a judge.

Federal prosecutors in New York City allege that Romano also sought to hire someone to assault the Long Island mechanic, Nicholas Pittas, as

payback for seizing the Camaro from his home on a flatbed.

Undercover investigators ended up staging a photo to make it look like Pittas had been knocked out in a beat-down.

“That’s a picture of me laying next to the trailer that’s on the side of our building,” Pittas told jurors in testimony this week that provided a lesson in both the mechanics of cars and of an FBI sting.

Lawyers for Romano, who has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder charges, say he was entrapped and that no one was ever in real danger.

His trial resumes Tuesday

with closing arguments.

Romano, 50, met Pittas in 2008 while he was making a fortune with a boiler-room operation that cheated elderly investors in a collectible coin scheme. He hired the 39-yearold Pittas, who owned a custom auto shop with his father, to care for his car collection.

“The ’57 Chevrolet and the Camaro came and went, but the Impala was always at our shop,” Pittas testified. “It was a bigger job.”

Romano gave the go-ahead for a complete – and expensive – restoration of the Impala.

“Basically every nut and

bolt was removed, refurbished,” Pittas said. “The body was taken off the chassis, engine, transmission – all rebuilt.”

By 2010, parts and labor had reached $50,000, he said. When it wasn’t paid, the shop placed a lien on the Camaro and took possession of it.

Following Romano’s arrest in the coin scam, his business partner showed up at the shop to tell Pittas that Romano wanted the Camaro back. The mechanic told the partner that if he covered the costs for both the Impala and the Camaro, “We’d gladly get rid of them.”

Illinois’ corporate tax breaks raise questions Lawmakers weigh effectiveness of incentives at legislative hearing, first of series on topic of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce said the incentive – known as the Economic Development for a Growing Economy, or EDGE, tax credit – has been “a very valuable tool” for bringing and keeping business in the state.

The issue has grown more divisive in recent years, as corporations ranging from Sears to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Archer Daniels Midland Corp. have sought multimillion-dollar breaks.

After lawmakers ended a special legislative session last

year without approving a deal for ADM, influential House Speaker Michael Madigan criticized the requests, saying he found it difficult to support “tax giveaways” for companies that pay little to no corporate income tax. The Chicago Democrat also said he wanted the Legislature to review how Illinois decides which companies get the incentives.

Franks and Rep. John Bradley, a Democrat from Marion, said Friday’s hearing was the first in a series of meetings on the topic. They said the discus-

8STATE BRIEFS

State EPA files emergency rules for petcoke The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – New emergency rules involving the storage of petroleum coke could go into effect as soon as next week, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency said.

The Illinois EPA filed the rules Thursday with the Illinois Pollution Control Board to deal with petroleum coke piles, although environmental groups have said it doesn’t go far enough.

Petroleum coke or “petcoke” is a black dust that is a byproduct of oil refining.

Chicago residents raised environmental and health concerns after the dust blew into neighborhoods.

“Emergency action is necessary to address these piles of petroleum coke and ensure the protection of Illinois’ residents, air, land and

water,” Illinois EPA Director Lisa Bonnett said.

The rules will take effect after the state Pollution Control Board files them with the Illinois Secretary of State.

The EPA said that could happen as soon as the board’s next meeting on Thursday.

The state and city are suing to stop the storage of petcoke along the Calumet River on Chicago’s Southeast Side.

The Natural Resources Defense Council and Southeast Environmental Task Force said the emergency rules fall short.

“More action is needed from the [Gov. Pat Quinn’s] administration if they are going to match their stated goal to put a halt to this activity,” NRDC Midwest director Henry Henderson and task force director Peggy Salazar said in a joint statement.

Northern Ill. officials look into prisoner escape ROCKFORD – Northern Illinois officials are investigating how a female prisoner managed to steal a Winnebago County sheriff’s car, prompting a two-hour manhunt.

The Rockford Register Star reported the 43-year-old Rockford woman managed to steal the squad car around 1 p.m.

Thursday.

Authorities said she was being transported – in handcuffs – to the Winnebago County Jail when the deputy who was driving the car stopped for gas.

That’s when the woman managed to slip out of her handcuffs and get behind the wheel before driving away.

She’s now being held in the Winnebago County Jail without bond. An investigation is underway.

Durbin calls to raise minimum wage, blasts Rauner

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Illinois Democrats continued their election-year strategy of pushing for a minimum wage hike Friday when U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin used a Martin Luther King breakfast to call for an increase to the state’s rate and blast a Republican gubernatorial candidate for his evolving stance on the issue.

Echoing a nationwide Democratic strategy, the Senate’s No. 2 Democrat told attendees of the city’s annual commemorative breakfast that he’ll work with Illinois lawmakers to raise the state rate. He said even though Illinois’ $8.25 an hour rate is $1 higher than the national wage, it should be more for working families.

He then took a shot at suburban Chicago businessman Bruce Rauner, who initially said he’d advocate for low-

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., is seen Sept. 4 at the Capitol in Washington.

During a speech Friday at a breakfast honoring the Rev. Martin Luther King in Chicago, Durbin told attendees he’s working with Illinois lawmakers to raise the state’s $8.25 minimum wage. ering the state’s minimum wage to the national rate of $7.25 then said he’d be in favor of raising it under certain circumstances. The venture capitalist who’s making his first foray into politics

has raised more than five times the other three Republican gubernatorial candidates combined through his connections and personal wealth, but on the campaign trail he’s portrayed himself

as an everyday guy who wears an inexpensive watch and dresses in outdoorsy gear.

But Durbin told attendees of Chicago’s annual breakfast that he didn’t see it that way.

“To think a major candidate for office in this state would call for reducing minimum wage tells me he’s out of touch,” Durbin said without specifically naming Rauner. “He may have a Carhartt jacket and $18 watch but he isn’t in touch with the reality of life in working America.”

Rauner’s campaign responded by criticizing top Democrats.

“Quinn’s allies know he’s failed and will say anything to distract from his disastrous record,” Rauner spokesman Mike Schrimpf said in a statement.

Minimum wage has become a major issue in the 2014 race for Illinois gover-

WAUKEGAN – Prosecutors in Lake County said a man accused of killing his wife and mother has complied with court-ordered DNA testing.

Lake County State’s Attorney Mike Nerheim told The NewsSun on Friday that Billy Varner “immediately” submitted to testing. A judge ordered the testing Thursday. The 54-yearold Varner is accused of killing his wife, Peggy Henderson, and his mother, Dorothy Varner.

Their bodies were discovered Oct. 28 in Lake County.

nor. Gov. Pat Quinn, a Democrat who’s seeking re-election, said he wants Illinois’ rate to be at least $10 by year’s end. Rauner’s change on the issue has also helped bring it to the forefront.

The other three Republican candidates – Treasurer Dan Rutherford and state Sens. Bill Brady and Kirk Dillard – currently oppose an increase, saying it hurts jobs and that Illinois’ rate already is the highest among Midwestern states. However, Dillard previously voted for an increase, which he said he did under better economic times. And Brady, while the GOP nominee in 2010, had to clarify his stance after suggesting it should be the same as the national wage.

Illinois last raised its rate in 2010 under a series of step increases. Approximately 1.1 million Illinois workers would be impacted by an increase, according to the state estimates.

Romeoville campus death likely alcohol related ROMEOVILLE – Administrators at a Romeoville college said the death of a 22-year-old man whose body was found in a dorm room was likely alcohol related.

Elvis Dominguez-Mejia’s body was found Thursday morning at Lewis University in Romeoville.

Officials said the Joliet man was visiting a friend who attends the school.

Romeoville Deputy Police Chief Steve Lucchesi said no foul play is suspected. An autopsy was expected Friday.

The EDGE program provides a credit against corporate income taxes, provided companies make certain capital investments, create a minimum number of jobs and attest another state is trying to lure the business from Illinois. But many companies that qualify are unable to use it because they do not pay any or enough corporate income tax.

CHICAGO – Lawmakers on Friday questioned the effectiveness of the tax breaks Illinois gives companies to keep or create jobs, with one legislator saying there’s little verifiable evidence the incentives work and another calling the current system “insanity.”

Illinois businesses benefited from about $1.15 billion in tax incentives in fiscal 2012, according to an analysis by the bipartisan Commission on

Government Forecasting and Accountability. Yet lawmakers noted the state continues to have one of the highest unemployment rates in the country.

Only three states – Nevada, Rhode Island and Michigan – had unemployment rates higher than Illinois’ 8.7 percent as of November.

Pope defrocked 400 priests in 2 years for abuse The ASSOCIATED PRESS VATICAN CITY – A document obtained by The Associated Press on Friday shows Pope Benedict XVI defrocked nearly 400 priests over just two years for sexually molesting children.

The statistics for 2011 and 2012 show a dramatic increase over the 171 priests removed in 2008 and 2009, when the Vatican first provided details on the number of priests who have been defrocked. Prior to that, it had only publicly revealed the number of alleged cases of sexual abuse it had received and the number of trials it had authorized.

While it’s not clear why the numbers spiked in 2011, it could be because 2010 saw a new explosion in the number of cases reported in the media in Europe and beyond.

The document was prepared from data the Vatican had been collecting and was compiled to help the Holy See defend itself before a U.N. committee this week in Geneva.

Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, the Vatican’s U.N. ambassador in Geneva, referred to just one of the statistics in the course of eight hours of oftentimes pointed criticism and questioning from the U.N. human rights committee.

The statistics were compiled from the Vatican’s own annual reports about the activities of its various offices, including the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which handles sex abuse cases. Although public, the annual reports are not readily available or sold outside Rome and are usually found in Vatican offices or Catholic university libraries.

An AP review of the reference books shows a remarkable evolution in the Holy See’s in-house procedures to discipline pedophiles since 2001, when the Vatican ordered bishops to send cases of all credibly accused priests to

Rome for review.

Then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger took action after determining that bishops around the world weren’t following church law to put accused clerics on trial in church tribunals. Bishops routinely moved problem priests from parish to parish rather than subject them to canonical trials — or turn them into police.

For centuries, the church has had its own in-house procedures to deal with priests who sexually abuse children.

One of the chief accusations from victims is that bishops put the church’s own procedures ahead of civil law en-

forcement by often suggesting victims keep accusations quiet while they are dealt with internally.

The maximum penalty for a priest convicted by a church tribunal is essentially losing his job: being defrocked or removed from the clerical state.

There are no jail terms and nothing to prevent an offender from raping again.

According to the 2001 norms Ratzinger pushed through and subsequent updates, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith reviews each case sent to Rome and then instructs bishops how to proceed, either by launching an administrative

process against the priest if the evidence is overwhelming or a church trial. At every step of the way the priest is allowed to defend himself.

The Congregation started reporting numbers only in 2005, which is where Tomasi’s spreadsheet starts off. U.N. officials said Friday that the committee has not received the document.

In 2005, the Congregation authorized bishops to launch church trials against 21 accused clerics, and reported that its appeals court had handled two cases. It didn’t say what the verdicts were, according to the annual reports cited by the spreadsheet.

Death penalty in spotlight after lengthy execution The ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBUS, Ohio – The long and fitful execution of an Ohio inmate with an untested combination of chemicals brought cries of cruel and unusual punishment Friday and could further narrow the options for other states that are casting about for new lethal injection drugs.

A gasping, snorting Dennis McGuire took 26 minutes to die after the chemicals began flowing Thursday – the longest execution of the 53 carried out in Ohio since capital punishment resumed 15 years ago, ac- Dennis cording to an McGuire Associated Inmate Press analysis.

McGuire’s adult children complained it amounted to torture, with the convicted killer’s son, Dennis a l s o n a m e d McGuire Dennis, say- Son of inmate ing: “Nobody executed in deserves to go Ohio through that.”

Whether McGuire felt any pain was unclear. But Ohio’s experience could influence the decisions made in the 31 other lethal-injection states, many of which have been forced in the past few years to rethink the drugs they use.

States are in a bind for two main reasons: European companies have cut off supplies of certain execution drugs because of opposition to capital punishment in Europe. And states can’t simply switch to other chemicals without triggering legal challenges from defense attorneys.

“There’s only so many times you can say we’re going to try a new method, or try something different,

where at this point it’s just going to invite a lot of skepticism,” said Fordham University law professor and lethal injection expert Deborah Denno.

She added: “There’s a dead-end we’ve never seen before with lethal injection.”

In light of what happened in Ohio, “states will now have more of a burden to show that they are using a well-thought-out best practice,” said Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, which opposes capital punishment.

Ohio’s prison system is reviewing McGuire’s execution and declined to comment on the amount of time it took him to die from the twodrug combination, which had never been used before in a U.S. execution. McGuire, 53, was given both a sedative and a painkiller.

Most Ohio inmates executed since 1999 took 15 minutes or less to die, records show. In years when Ohio used a three-drug combination, many inmates died in less than 10 minutes, according to the records.

McGuire, who was sentenced to die for raping and stabbing to death a pregnant newlywed in 1989, appeared unconscious but gasped repeatedly as he lay on a gurney, his stomach rising and falling and his mouth opening and shutting.

States have been hit with a series of setbacks as they attempt to refine lethal injection, with one problem cropping up as soon as another appears solved.

To end constitutional challenges over the possibility of an inmate suffering undue pain from the widely used three-drug method, states beginning with Ohio switched to single doses of a powerful sedative, sodium thiopental. Even opponents agreed that wouldn’t cause pain.

Afghan security forces arrive Friday at the site of an explosion in Kabul, Afghanistan. Afghan police said a suicide bomber attacked a Kabul restaurant popular with foreigners.

Taliban strike restaurant, kill 16 Suicide bomber attack targets foreigners The ASSOCIATED PRESS KABUL, Afghanistan – A suicide bomber blew himself up outside a Kabul restaurant filled with foreigners and affluent Afghans, while two gunmen snuck in through the back door and opened fire Friday in a brazen dinnertime attack that killed 16 people, officials said. The fatalities included four U.N. personnel.

The Taliban claimed responsibility within an hour of the attack against La Taverna du Liban, part of a stepped-up campaign of violence against foreign and government interests to send a message that the militants are not going anywhere as the U.S.-led coalition winds down its combat mission at the end of the year.

The bombing served as a re-

minder that although militant violence in the capital has dropped off in recent months, insurgents remain capable of carrying out attacks inside the most heavily guarded areas.

Security officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information, said the assault began with the suicide bomber detonating his explosives at the front door of the restaurant, located in an area housing several embassies, non-governmental organizations and the homes and offices of Afghan officials. As chaos ensued, the two other attackers entered through the kitchen and began shooting. They were later killed by security guards, said Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqi.

Kabul police chief Gen. Mohammad Zahir Zahir said the 16 people killed were all inside the restaurant. He said foreigners and Afghans were among the dead, but he did not provide a breakdown. Of-

ficials said at least four other people were wounded.

Four United Nations personnel were among those killed, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said. The four were not identified.

Ban condemned the attack “in the strongest terms,” saying “such targeted attacks against civilians are completely unacceptable and are in flagrant breach of international humanitarian law,” U.N. deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said.

The International Monetary Fund’s representative in Afghanistan, Wabel Abdallah, also was among those killed, IMF chief Christine Lagarde said in a statement.

The 60-year-old from Lebanon was appointed to the position in 2008.

Britain’s Foreign Office confirmed late Friday that a British national was among the dead.

In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the U.S. condemns “this despicable act of terror-

Deadline looms for Panama Canal expansion dispute The ASSOCIATED PRESS PANAMA CITY, Panama – On a hot September morning, a powerful explosion demolished a rocky slope on the banks of the Panama Canal, announcing to the world a massive expansion that the canal’s managers promised would transform global trade when it was completed in 2014, on time and under budget.

U.S. ports invested billions in dredging, raising bridges and renovating docking infrastructure to accommodate the new generation of larger ships that could pass through the expanded canal.

Now, more than four years after construction began, these ports and the Panama Canal Authority are facing

the prospect of a work stoppage on the $5.25 billion expansion over a financial dispute – an unexpected blow to a project long seen by many as the epitome of competent management in a region where major infrastructure initiatives tend to be marred by cost overruns, delays and shoddy workmanship.

The Spanish-led consortium hired to handle the biggest part of the canal expansion says it will halt work by Monday if the canal authority doesn’t come up with the funds to cover $1.6 billion in cost overruns, while the authority insists the consortium live up to the terms of the original contract.

The expansion project, now 72 percent complete, would double the capacity of

the 50-mile canal, which carries between 5 and 6 percent of world commerce.

“Monday will be a crucial day in the history of the Panama Canal and for us as a country that wants to carry out projects of great size,” Jose L. Ford, the president of the Panamanian Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture, said after meeting with canal authority directors this week.

A stop and restart of the canal expansion could set back the arrival of bigger ships, and higher fees, to ports along the entire U.S. East Coast, some of which have been carrying out their own improvements. The ships known as post-Panamax have more than twice the carrying capacity of those able to pass through the canal today.

ism in the strongest possible terms.” She said information about the attack was still coming in, but that all U.S. Embassy personnel were accounted for.

Deputy Afghan Interior Minister Ayoub Salangai said in a tweet that the dead included four women.

The restaurant, like most facilities that are frequented by foreign diplomats, aid workers, journalists and businessmen in the war-weary country, has no signs indicating its location and is heavily secured. It sits on a small side street just off a bumpy semipaved road in a house with low ceilings and an enclosed patio but no windows.

Bags of dirt are piled up around it to act as blast walls, and guests must go through a series of steel airlocks, where they are searched, before entering. The surrounding area is full of police and security guards to protect against insurgent attacks, which have increased in recent months around the country.

Disagreement on salaries, benefits • CONTRACT Continued from page A1 Educational Labor Relations Board in early November after formally declaring an impasse in negotiations that began in late March.

The final offers showed the two sides disagreed over salaries, teacher retirement benefits and workloads.

The union proposed an increase to the base salary in year three of the proposed three-year contract, while the district offered lump sum increases to teachers at the top of the experience scale, according to documents posted to the two entities’ websites in November.

The board’s offer also shifted an increasing portion of employee contributions to the

Teacher Retirement System to the employees.

Concerned with proposed contract cuts, an overwhelming majority of the District 155 Education Association’s 440 members authorized the intent to strike before the impasse.

The Crystal Lake teachers’ union had never before held a strike vote in its 40-year history.

Obama pledged to curb spying on overseas allies • NSA Continued from page A1 the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court each time it wants to access the data, a more cumbersome process than currently required. Exceptions will be made in the event of a national security emergency, officials said.

Responding to outrage overseas, Obama pledged on Friday to curb spying on friendly allied leaders and to extend some privacy protections to foreign citizens. The proposals appeared to ease some anger in Germany, which had been particularly incensed by revelations that the NSA had monitored the communications of Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Despite the firestorm at home and abroad, Obama robustly defended the intelligence community’s role in keeping the nation safe. But he said the U.S. had a “special obligation” to ensure that its muscular spying apparatus was not trampling on civil liberties.

“The reforms I’m proposing today should give the American people greater confidence that their rights are being protected, even as our intelligence and law enforcement agencies maintain the tools they need to keep us safe,” he said during a speech at the Justice Department.

Privacy advocates, who have pushed for ending the phone record collections altogether, criticized the president’s restrictions as insufficient. The intelligence community appeared publicly content with his plans.

On Capitol Hill, the response was decidedly mixed.

A rare cross-section of lawmakers from both parties, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., called for greater reforms.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, blamed the president for failing in the past to properly explain the importance of certain intelligence gathering practices.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., who head their chambers’ intelligence committees, called on the president to send them specific legislation with his proposed changes.

Obama’s announcement capped a six-month White House review triggered by Snowden’s flood of disclosures about the scope of U.S. spying. But by ordering further review of key issues, Obama ensured that his speech would hardly be the final word in the resurgent debate over balancing privacy and security.

The most glaring omission in Obama’s announcement was any recommendation on where Americans’ phone records should be kept if they

are no longer housed by the government. A presidential review board recommended moving the data to the phone providers or a third party, but both options present obstacles. The phone companies strongly oppose the expense and potential liability of holding the data, and no credible third-party option has emerged. Administration officials also raised the possibility of replacing the bulk phone collection program with new surveillance methods that would negate the need to store the data long-term.

Obama ordered the Justice Department and intelligence community to report back to him with options within 60 days. If they propose housing the data with the phone companies or a third party, congressional legislation would almost certainly be needed, raising questions about how quickly lawmakers could reach an agreement, if at all.

“I think the odds are long that we can get it done in a timely way,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., although he was largely supportive of the president’s proposals.

Under Obama’s plan, the government will no longer be able to gain access to phone records beyond two “hops” from the person they are targeting. That means the government can’t examine records for someone who called someone who called someone who called the suspect.

Christina Bemis gives a vaccination to a lab mix, Harlow, on Wednesday at the Crystal Lake Veterinary Hospital. Bemis said that as temps drop below 40 degrees, you need to pay special attention to the needs of your pets. Frostbite and hypothermia are the main concerns with pets in cold temperatures.

Socks, sweaters and limited exposure are all things to take into consideration.

When it’s as cold as recently, dogs should not be outside for more than 5 minutes • DOG SAFETY Continued from page A1 pads of any size dog with a towel when it comes back inside to remove any ice or salt. Salt can also be dangerous to dogs, irritating their paws and causing problems if they ingest it, which is why Bemis said to make sure dogs do not chew at their paws after coming inside.

She also recommended pet-safe salt as it has a different chemical makeup.

For dogs that must stay outside, a proper doghouse is necessary to provide shelter from the wind, and water needs to be heated to avoid freezing. Bemis also said an elevated surface for the dog to sleep on is important.

Straw, not hay, can provide more insulation.

Owners of puppies can have a more difficult time, said Ravelle Schwab, who helps take care of dozens of dogs at Helping Paws Animal Shelter in Woodstock.

Schwab said when it comes to puppies, many are reluctant to go outside in the cold. She said it may be necessary to pick the puppy up to bring it outside during house training, and then pick it up to bring it back inside so it does not walk on the cold surface.

Shoveling a clear path can help in some cases, but other creative methods could be used. Schwab said she had to rubber band socks to the paws of her small cockashon dog at home to convince it to go outside.

“No matter the size of the dog, when it is as cold as it had been, they shouldn’t be outside for more than five minutes at a time,” Schwab said. “It requires more trips but for shorter times.”

Cutting down time outside can cause dogs to get a case of cabin fever, Schwab said. Having toys or games to stimulate the dog and keep it active can help combat the lack of exercise in the cold weather.

Schwab said more calls come into the shelter about strays during winter months but it is often too full to accept many more animals. Providing something as simple as a cardboard box outside with a blanket in it can help outdoor or stray cats that cannot be placed in a shelter.

8SKETCH VIEW

Scaling back on spying The Northwest Herald Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs up and thumbs down: Thumbs up: A reserved one anyway, to President Barack Obama’s decision to end the government’s access to the data collected from hundreds of millions of Americans’ phones.

Obama also ordered intelligence agencies to get a court order before accessing any of the data already collected. We qualify the thumbs up as “reserved” because the federal government shouldn’t have been spying on its citizens without a warrant to begin with. It’s a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution.

Thumbs down: To Metra for several weatherrelated issues that have been leaving passengers either out in the cold or in overcrowded cars. In one incident, passengers were left on a platform in temperatures below zero when a particular train switched to an express service without passenger knowledge. While we appreciate that weather can cause issues for everyone, passengers are facing increased fares and should expect better, consistent train service.

Thumbs up: To author Amy Logan and former NFL running back Jarrett Payton, son of late Bears star Walter Payton, for bringing a message of caring and kindness to North Elementary in Crystal Lake. The pair spoke to the students this week, calling them all superheroes and bringing an anti-bullying message.

Thumbs down: To potholes. The recent stretch of subzero temperatures followed by the thaw opened up dangerous holes on our roads.

Potholes were to blame for cars blowing out tires on Interstate 90 in Huntley. Wind, snow and cold temperatures make winter unbearable enough. Throwing car-busting potholes into the mix doesn’t seem fair.

Set fracking safeguards Hydraulic fracturing might be the ultimate hot-button issue facing our state, especially the region we so fondly call southern Illinois.

It is considered the doorway to an economic boom by the energy industry, but an ecological bomb by those who strive to protect the environment.

It is not a theoretical dispute. The Illinois General Assembly last year approved regulations permitting and governing hydraulic fracturing in the state. The law allows the process to be used in Illinois, once the process of public hearings and rule-making is completed.

That could add many more months to the six that have elapsed since the passage of hydraulic fracturing regulations. Energy industry officials are concerned about the process becoming too lengthy, which could put Illinois at a competitive disadvantage against other states with energy potential.

Environmentalists, however, feel the process is moving too quickly. Despite the law, some still favor an outright ban against hydraulic fracturing in Illinois. Others support a moratorium that would permit the further expansion and gathering of scientific findings on the controversial process.

There does not appear to be adequate middle ground between the opposing forces. Compromise seems unlikely. The camps are polarized, even in the communities that have the most to gain, or lose, through the use of hydraulic fracturing to seek and release energy.

Proponents say the measure will create thousands of good, high-paying jobs – perhaps as many as 70,000 – in manufacturing, mining, trucking, rail, engineering and road building. It also will create a demand for more housing, retail shopping and consumer services that grows as drilling and oil production expands. Those demands mean new jobs, new opportunities.

Opponents don’t believe the new jobs will be numerous or lasting. They dismiss the scientific claims of energy interests as junk science, findings intended only to support the use of fracking. They see potential for groundwater contamination, the possibility of triggering earthquakes and other ecological risks through hydraulic fracturing.

The law permits hydraulic fracturing in Illinois, but it must be done with every possible safeguard in place and continually monitored for compliance.

Christie traps himself on a bridge to nowhere WASHINGTON – Gov. Chris Christie had the best day he’s going to have for a long time on Jan. 9.

He had two hours to give his side of the lane closings on the George Washington Bridge that gridlocked Fort Lee, N.J., for four days in September.

With his usual bluster, he described all the ways that he hadn’t been involved in the closing. The abject stupidity of others was to blame and the time he spent on the explanation made him seem forthcoming. By the end, he had reassured those who wanted to be that he wasn’t involved and exhausted the rest of us.

He certainly didn’t lay the matter to rest. Next come the subpoenas, the aides with their lawyers, the politicians with their agendas and the skittish who will blurt things out. Mayors all over the state are looking back at the governor’s decisions that went against their cities to see if any were political payback. And the onetime friends he dissed big time? How did David Wildstein, who until last month served in the Christie administration, feel when the governor shoved him under the bus while correcting the record on their putative high school friendship?

“I was the class president and athlete. I don’t know what David was doing during that period of time.”

Suspicion that Christie used funds for Hurricane Sandy relief to burnish his own image is also coming to a head.

Federal auditors are examining the governor’s use of $25 million

VIEWS Margaret Carlson in Sandy funds, in particular a $4.7 million contract to produce tourism ads featuring the governor’s family. A bid for work that didn’t show the Christies and cost only $2.5 million wasn’t selected.

This gets to Christie as presidential timber. Any misuse of the disaster funds would be, well, a disaster for Christie whose huge re-election victory and tail wind as the Republican presidential nominee are in large part the result of his perceived handling of the storm.

Christie’s one-time mentor and occasional critic, former New Jersey Gov. Tom Kean, cut to the chase with his question about Christie’s handling of the bridge fracas, “Do you really want that in your president?”

Looking at the news conference a second time, I would say no. It was almost laughably Christie, and barely gubernatorial, much less presidential. We (I) criticize President Barack Obama for not emoting enough, but after taking in the Full Christie, we find much to be grateful for in Obama’s restraint. Imagine Obama saying how sad, sad, sad he was as he cycled through multiple stages of grief over the failed rollout of Obamacare.

Christie was emotionally unhinged to the point of praising his own contrition. Word for word, he spent more time on

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

his own hurt feelings than he did empathizing with those who were truly hurt by the bridge delays, including children and emergency vehicles.

Obama said the unready health-care website was “on me.” Would it have been better for anyone had the president gone on about how “heartbreaking” the situation was for him and how he had been “embarrassed and humiliated” and “betrayed.” Obama brought someone in to fix the website (which eventually got up and running), and then hired a new contractor.

Presidents can’t afford to lose emotional self-control the way Christie did. What Christie missed in his presentation was the obvious truth that when you fail, it isn’t about you but about the people who suffer from your mistake.

In the next few weeks, as more emails emerge and investigations proceed, we will learn what Christie, the self-styled hands-on governor, wasn’t curious enough to find out for himself. He knew early on there was no traffic study underway that could explain the lane closures. He had staff question staff about the incident and, predictably, they knew nothing about nothing. Still, it’s a safe bet that they thought the boss wouldn’t be displeased to know that they were inflicting a little gridlock in Fort Lee, whose Democratic mayor had refused to endorse Christie in the election.

Christie fancies himself a guy who sweats the small stuff. He cut off a state grant to a Rut-

gers University professor who supported a redistricting map that favored Democrats, and disinvited from a state event a politician who criticized his handling of the 2010 blizzard. But the cause of a four-day epic traffic jam in his state? Not interested.

What in the world was his staff thinking? He didn’t ask. They lie, they’re gone, he explained.

There was no time “to get to the underlying conduct.”

Although he has few allies, no one has abandoned him yet.

Politicians make simple calculations. They’ll wait to see if there’s a smoking traffic cone.

The governor will give the State of the State address Tuesday and go to Florida to raise money as chairman of the Republican Governors Association over the weekend.

But the Christie brand is compromised. It’s going to be harder to get away with yelling at teachers or telling stupid people to get the hell off the beach.

Rising in politics is easy, resurrection almost impossible.

Just ask Newt Gingrich, another Republican would-be president.

One moment he was riding high, touted on the cover of Time magazine as “King of the Hill”; the next thing he knew, he was skulking out of Washington having shut down the government because he didn’t like his seat assignment on Air Force One. The George Washington Bridge is open again, but for Christie, the way out of New Jersey may be closed for good.

WL MAN PICKED UP FOR DRUG CHARGES WOODSTOCK – McHenry County sheriff’s police have charged a Wonder Lake man with several drug offenses following a Monday traffic stop.

Police said members of the Intelligence Led Policing Unit stopped a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix on Route 47 near Cooney Road when they observed the occupants making excessive movements.

Sheriff’s police then brought a K-9 unit to the scene and searched the vehicle. Police said they found illegal narcotics and arrested the backseat passenger, but released the driver and another passenger from the scene. Police said they found 2.6 grams of heroin, prescription drugs, multiple hypodermic needles and other drug paraphernalia. Investigators estimated the street value of the drugs at $600.

Jorge L. Gonzalez Martinez, 18, of Wonder Lake, was charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver, three counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia and unlawful possession of hypodermic needles.

Gonzalez Martinez faces up to 15 years in prison on the most serious charges. His bond is set at $80,000. He is scheduled to appear in court Feb. 4.

Man charged with stalking McHenry postal worker placed on electronic monitoring

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A McHenry postal worker charged with felony stalking was placed this week on electronic monitoring as his case is pending.

Dorn Peddy, 55, of McHenry, was indicted Dec. 19 on charges of aggravated stalking for allegedly violating an order of protection a woman in the same running events filed against him.

According to Assistant State’s Attorney Kate Lenhard, Peddy violated the no-contact order five times since it

News to your phone Text the keyword NWHMCHENRY to 74574 to sign up for MCHENRY news text alerts from the Northwest Herald. Message and data rates apply. was taken out a year ago.

Peddy, she said, appears at places he knows the alleged victim will be. He stood outside her child’s dance studio and appeared at parks where he knew she would be running a race.

“He continues to belabor the point

that he’s watching the victim,” Lenhard said. “… He’s flaunting the fact that he’s coming into close proximity of her.”

McHenry County Judge Gordon Graham on Wednesday modified Peddy’s bond and placed him on electronic monitoring at a cost of $10.50 a day.

Peddy’s defense attorney, Mark Facchini, then requested a March 17 trial date.

The order of protection allowed Peddy to compete in the same running events as the complainant, Facchini said.

Committee looking to spruce up Island Lake

TRAIL BY

CANDLE

LIGHT

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com ISLAND LAKE – More money for stocking Island Lake is the latest in a series of proposals put forth by the village’s Lake Management Committee as it looks to improve the largely neglected lake, its vice chairman said.

The budget proposal is still being put together, but the current draft requests the line item dedicated to stocking the lake with fish be returned to previous levels, committee Vice Chairman Ken Wick said.

The line item had been reduced this past year to $1,000 from $2,500, he said.

The budget draft also includes reductions to weed control, which dropped from over $18,000 two years ago to $11,000 this past year, Wick said. The village has been trying different weed control methods, spraying part of the lake instead of all of it.

The goal is to keep about 30 percent of the weeds because they can increase oxygen levels, Wick said.

The village has hired a boat patrol officer to enforce the village’s boat sticker ordinance and catchand-release rules, which were updated last month to limit the size and amount that can be harvested for 10 additional species of fish in an effort to prevent overfishing.

“The only contact he’s had has been inadvertent and arising out of the fact that they’re in the same running circles,” he said.

It’s unclear how long Peddy has been a mail carrier. The McHenry Postmaster said Peddy had been working there “for quite awhile,” but referred all calls to a USPS spokesperson who was not immediately available for comment.

In all, Peddy is charged with six violations of an order of protection, all Class 4 felonies, and aggravated stalking, a Class 3 felony.

Building inspections to McHenry?

Prairie Grove looking to outsource, cut costs

By EMILY K. COLEMAN

By JOSEPH BUSTOS

ecoleman@shawmedia.com

jbustos@shawmedia.com FOX RIVER GROVE – Negotiations are ongoing for a possible grocery store to replace the Dominick’s at the intersection of Routes 14 and 22, village officials said.

Village President Bob Nunamaker said Safeway, the parent company that owned Dominick’s, has not disclosed the name of the grocer to him as confidentiality agreements are in place.

However, negotiations had reached a point where the Village Board on Thursday was prepared to discuss a redevelopment agreement for the grocery store. The location is in one of the village’s tax increment finance districts.

Because negotiations had not progressed far enough, officials took the agreement off the agenda, Nunamaker said.

The village can offer reimbursements on expenses such as land acquisition.

Dominick’s had a sales tax rebate agreement with the village, but Nunamaker said the village would not be able to offer a similar deal.

Nunamaker said the village can help bring Safeway into contact with

Nunamaker said. “Safeway says they are negotiating with possible purchasers of the property.”

Safeway wouldn’t comment on whether negotiations were ongoing.

Last year, Safeway closed its 72 Dominick’s locations in the Chicago area in an effort to become more profitable.

Jewel took over four of the properties and Roundy’s took possession of 11 of the locations to open Mariano’s Fresh Markets.

PRAIRIE GROVE – Instead of hiring a new part-time building inspector, the Prairie Grove Village Board is looking at outsourcing its inspections to the city of McHenry.

The McHenry City Council is set to vote on the agreement at its meeting Monday evening, and the Prairie Grove Village Board will take it up Tuesday.

Compared to other building code consultants the village looked at, going with the city of McHenry will save on costs, said Village Administrator Jeannine Smith, who is recommending the board approve the agreement.

The city of McHenry will charge property owners $50 an hour for residential projects and $60 an hour for nonresidential projects, according to documents submitted by Deputy City Administrator Doug Martin to the McHenry City Council.

A flat $80 plan review fee also will be charged for any residential project, and the fee for nonresidential projects will be based on the size of the structure, the documents said.

possession of drug paraphernalia and unlawful possession of marijuana.

The house is within 1,000 feet of four schools, Sgt. Mike Roth said.

Maloney is being held in the McHenry County Jail on $80,000 bond.

The Cary boy was charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance, unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, unlawful delivery of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia. He is being held at the Kane County Juvenile Detention Center.

The Cary Police Department encourages citizens to use Crime Stoppers as a means to anonymously report illegal activity to improve the quality of life in the community, according to a news release.

KANE COUNTY: SIX FELONY COUNTS

A Toyota Solara crashed into a doorway Friday at the Cosmetology and Nail School at 9215 Trinity Drive in Lake in the Hills. The fire department and Lake in the Hills building department were on the scene to assess structural damage to the building. There were no reported injuries.

Additional charges filed against ex-youth pastor

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com S T . C H A R L ES T O W NSHIP – Additional charges of possessing child pornography were announced Friday against a former youth minister at a church in West Dundee, officials said.

Chad A. Coe, 32, of the 500 block of Dundee Avenue, Elgin, was indicted Dec. 19 by a Kane County grand jury on six felony counts of Chad child pornog- A. Coe raphy.

Circuit Judge James C. Hallock unsealed the indictments, according to a statement released by Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon.

“He has pleaded not guilty,” said Coe’s attorney, D.J. Tegeler. “Everyone is presumed innocent, and he is professing his innocence.”

According to the indictments, between Sept. 19, 2011, and Aug. 13, 2013, Coe knowingly possessed six files on a computer disc containing video depictions of children whom he reasonably should

have known were younger than 18 years old.

The children depicted were nude and engaged in sexually oriented acts, officials said.

Coe has been released since his arrest Dec. 19 after posting $10,000, or 10 percent of a $100,000 bond. His next court date is scheduled for Feb. 19.

If convicted, Coe faces a sentence of probation or between 18 and 42 years in prison.

In June, Coe was charged with criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual abuse, both felonies, according to the charges. He was released after posting $10,000 on that case.

At the time, Coe was director of youth ministry at the First Congregational Church of Dundee, in West Dundee, when he allegedly had sexual contact with the victim, who is younger than age 18. Coe was in a position of trust and/ or authority over the victim when the sexual contact occurred, officials said.

The felonies carry penalties of three to 15 years in prison, and he would have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life if convicted.

Village issues about 50 to 60 minor permits a year • INSPECTIONS Continued from page B1 The proposed rates are sufficient to cover employee time, according to a staff analysis.

The additional workload would place a “minimal” burden with “no anticipated adverse impacts” on the Community and Economic Development Department and should also not affect service to McHenry residents, the analysis said. The agreement

is not binding long-term.

The city of McHenry does not currently provide these services to other municipalities although other area municipalities such as Woodstock do, City Administrator Derik Morefield said, adding this agreement “made sense,” especially since Prairie Grove is “right next door.”

Prairie Grove issues about 50 to 60 minor permits, three to four new home permits and one to two commercial permits each year, the documents said.

The former Dominick’s location at Route 14 and Route 22 in Fox River Grove sits vacant as the village prepares to discuss a redevelopment agreement for the grocery store.

Former LITH location also draws interest • DOMINICK’S Continued from page B1 There also are former Dominick’s locations in Crystal Lake and Lake in the Hills.

Lake in the Hills Community Development Director Dan Olson said there are two retailers, one of which is a furniture business, who are in negotiations about locating at the former Dominick’s at Algonquin and

Randall roads.

Olson said he could not disclose the names of the retailers.

If there was an agreement for the location, the two retailers would split the Dominick’s space.

James Richter II, the assistant director of economic development for Crystal Lake, said the city has been in contact with potential retailers and grocery stores about locating at its former Dominick’s along Route 14.

Committee also discussing fishing access • ISLAND LAKE Continued from page B1 Further updates to the creel and size limits will be based on recommendations made

by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and would have to be approved by the Village Board, Wick said.

The committee also has been discussing a controversial proposal that would limit

fishing access to residents and their guests.

The renewed interest in the lake followed the addition of six new members to the eight-person committee, including Wick who joined this

past May. “I think it’s an energetic group of people,” he said. “We all get along. We all have the same focuses. We don’t want to kick the can down the road.”

JANUARY 19 INDOOR WINTER FARMERS’ MARKET ALGONQUIN TOWNSHIP, CRYSTAL LAKE

“Orphan Black,” the BBC America show about clones. At first it sounded a little futuristic for me but after watching the first half of the first episode, I’m hooked. I have thought House of Cards” on Netflix; but I have to admit it is really hard for me to get started with a series that I have to watch on my iPad. One show that has warmed my heart is “The Bachelor.”

The new bachelor, Juan Pablo, is adorable and the Golfer is such a good sport that he watches with me. Both of us get a little squeamish but that show is the perfect antidote to this dreary winter.

Besides spending too much time in front of the television, I have been Sporcling, searching Pinterest for organizational ideas for my wrapping paper/craft supplies and reading fashion blogs. I may not enjoy watching shows on my iPad, I do love to cuddle up on the couch with it, a fuzzy blanket and a certain four-legged beast. Time really flies when you’re not doing much.

Quick Armchair Review: Well, we didn’t make it to the movie this week but I think we are seeing “Inside Llewyn Davis” this afternoon. With our plan of a movie a week, we’ve seen seven of the nine Best Picture nominees. I don’t think I have ever seen that many of the nominees in one year, let alone with the new format of up to ten pictures up for consideration. I feel pretty well informed for my upcoming Academy Award wager with my “work brother.”

You may remember, lunch is on the line.

Enjoy the weekend! Autumn

REVIEWS & LOCAL SHOWTIMES OF NEW MOVIES ON SCREEN NOW

“Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit” STARRING: Chris Pine, Kevin Costner and Keira Knightley PLOT: Jack Ryan, as a young covert CIA analyst, uncovers a Russian plot to crash the U.S. economy with a terrorist attack.

RATED: PG-13 for sequences of violence and intense action and brief language TIME: 1 hour, 45 minutes VERDICT: Cooling Russo-American relations have yielded an opening for the return of Tom Clancy’s CIA analyst, just in time for the Sochi Olympics.

In the Jack Ryan reboot, “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit,” Chris Pine takes over the lead. Ryan is a navigator of murky, reasonably realistic, international espionage worlds. He has neither James Bond’s preternatural suavity nor Jason Bourne’s visceral butt-kicking skills, but instead anxiously finds his way with patriotic cunning. “Shadow Recruit,” which was scripted without a Clancy book by Adam Cozad and David Koepp, tells a new backstory for Ryan. Inspired by Sept. 11, he joins the Marines and is heroically injured in Afghanistan. During his recovery, he meets his eventual fiancee (a doctor named Cathy played by Keira Knightley) and is lured to the CIA by a mysterious recruiter (Kevin Costner, unconvincingly trying to exude a Donald Sutherland-like gravitas). He’s covertly embedded at a Wall Street bank, where he uncovers a Russian plot to buy up U.S. Treasury bonds, which he suspects will be sold off in a coordinated act of terrorism and currency devaluation. Surely, if Ronald Reagan (whose endorsement of Clancy’s first novel, “The Hunt for Red October,” propelled his fame) was still around, he’d swoon over a spy thriller based on the harrowing threat of inflation. Ryan’s investigation leads him to the Russian oligarch Viktor Cherevin, played by Kenneth Branagh, who also directed the film. Branagh endows his film with (mostly) old-fashioned competency – something often lacking in today’s action films – but little to distinguish it from superior thrillers that have come before. “Shadow Recruit” is disappointingly formulaic, relying on the familiar set piece-driven story of an implausible heist and a time-bomb finale. Knightley is too strong a force for this girlfriend role.

And when the global scheme is figured out in a minute with a bank of computer-searching analysts, one foresees the obsolescence of the action film: sprawling plots undone with a few keystrokes. “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit” is perhaps most significantly a test for Pine as a movie star. Early in the film, when Ryan is forced to defend his life in a hotel room battle, he ably depicts the shock and horror of a man encountering such a circumstance for the first time. But Pine also fails to make his Jack Ryan more than an afterthought to Baldwin’s know-it-all or Ford’s reluctant hero. As Costner’s character says, he too much resembles “a Boy Scout on a field trip.” One unlikely cameo should be noted: New York’s famed repertory art-house theater, the Film Forum, appears early in the movie when Ryan swaps information at a screening of “Sorry, Wrong Number.” At least in “Shadow Recruit,” the interior has finally been upgraded to plush stadium seating. – The Associated Press

“Lone Survivor” STARRING: Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch

PLOT: Based on the failed June 28, 2005, mission “Operation Red Wings.” Four members of SEAL Team 10 were tasked with the mission to capture or kill notorious Taliban leader Ahmad Shahd.

RATED: R for strong bloody war violence and pervasive language

TIME: 2 hours, 1 minute VERDICT: With all the talk about fact-based films and how accurate they should or shouldn’t be, it’s worth noting that some stories are best brought to screen as simply and purely as possible.This is especially true with a film like “Lone Survivor,” Peter Berg’s expertly rendered account of a disastrous 2005 military operation in Afghanistan. War is messy, and politics are messy. But Berg has wisely chosen to focus pretty squarely on the action, and to present it as straightforwardly as possible.

And he’s executed that approach with admirable skill, down to using autopsy reports to get the number of wounds a soldier suffered exactly right. “Lone Survivor” doesn’t have nearly the sweep of a major war film like Spielberg’s “Saving Private Ryan.”

But the action scenes – basically, one protracted, harrowing firefight – feel as realistic as any we’ve seen on the screen for some time. That firefight, for those unfamiliar with the story (Berg also penned the screenplay, based on the memoir by former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell), took place June 28, 2005, in the craggy mountains of

LOCAL SHOWTIMES Afghanistan’s Kunar province. As part of Operation Red Wings, Luttrell and three fellow SEALS were positioned on a hillside, tracking a Taliban commander in the village below, when they suddenly encountered a few local shepherds. Their agonized decision on what to do with those shepherds, one of them a teenager, led to a string of events that ultimately resulted in 19 American deaths. Of course, the title, “Lone Survivor,” and the fact Luttrell is played by the movie’s star (Mark Wahlberg, in a strong and moving performance) tells you much of what’s going to happen from the get-go. But that doesn’t hurt the film’s immediacy and power. In fact, you may have a hard time sitting still. Berg opens with footage of real Navy SEAL training and the extremes it reaches – some might call it unnecessary and overly worshipful, but for people who don’t know a lot about the SEALS, it’s helpful and effective. We’re also given a sense of the lighthearted camaraderie at the military base, in between operations, as the men joke about wives and girlfriends back home, or compete in foot races. One of the SEALS worries about how to afford a wedding present for his bride. The veterans engage in a little good-natured ribbing of a new arrival – involving some silly dancing. But all lightness disappears suddenly, and for good. Soon, Luttrell is hunkered in the mountains with his comrades: Michael Murphy (Taylor Kitsch), Danny Dietz (Emile Hirsch), and Matt “Axe” Axelson (Ben Foster).

All seems to be going well until the moment they encounter the villagers; the ensuing debate is a painful one.

Do they let them go and risk certain discovery? Or do they “terminate” the problem? The men also touch on a heavier question: what connection, in a deeper sense, do these shepherds have with the enemy? But a decision comes, and then the battle, with the men literally falling down the mountainside, smashing repeatedly into rocks, their bodies gashed and broken.

Several of them fight while shot and gravely wounded. One virtually sacrifices himself to call for help. A rescue effort goes catastrophically badly.

And then comes the amazing end to the story: How, and with whose help, Luttrell manages to survive to tell his tale. Although it’s a matter of record, we’ll keep the suspense alive here. At the end, we see photos of the actual casualties of Operation Red Wings. It does not seem gratuitous, and no further explanation or exposition is given, or needed. Again, the best thing about Berg’s work here is its simplicity. –

“The Nut Job” STARRING: The voices of Will Arnett, Brendan Fraser and Liam Neeson

PLOT: Surly, a curmudgeon, independent squirrel is banished from his park and forced to survive in the city. Lucky for him, he stumbles on the one thing that may be able to save his life, and the rest of park community, as they gear up for winter – Maury’s Nut Store.

RATED: PG for mild action and rude humor TIME: 1 hour, 26 minutes VERDICT: “The Nut Job” certainly looks nice. Colors are vibrant, particularly the reddish autumn shades of trees in Liberty Park, in fictional Oakton City, where much of the action takes place. There’s a lovely moment where shimmering water reflects the leaves above. And the whole thing has a period feel – mid-20th century – which is appealing, though confusing, too, when you see characters break into what looks like very 21st-century dancing at one point. Like most animated films these days, “The Nut Job,”

a joint Canadian-South Korean-U.S. production, trades on its celebrity voices, which here include Katherine Heigl, Brendan Fraser, Will Arnett, Maya Rudolph and, most recognizably, Liam Neeson, who sometimes sounds like he could be on a Shakespearean stage. Not that you could call this dialogue Shakespearean. Or even witty. This being a film about squirrels and their nuts, kids will enjoy the “nut” puns, and parents will groan.

“Let’s not get too nutty about this,” one character says. “Sorry, I went a little nuts,” says another. The movie’s slogan: “No nuts, no glory.” Well, at least there’s an interesting digression on the existential nature of peanut brittle. Is it, someone asks, a nut or a candy? “Both,” comes the considered reply. The story, based on Lepeniotis’ short film, “Surly Squirrel,” is simple: The animals in Liberty Park, ruled by a gruff raccoon (Neeson, of course) ominously just named Raccoon, are facing a severe nut shortage just as winter is approaching. Surly the squirrel (Arnett), who thinks only of himself, has somehow set fire to the winter stockpile. (Watch for the nice shot of popping corn kernels from an exploding tree – it will remind you there’s a reason you’re wearing those 3-D glasses.) But Surly doesn’t seem willing to help solve the situation, and he’s banished from the park to the city. There, he discovers a nut shop – cashews, peanuts, hazelnuts, you name it. If he can snag that booty, he’ll be golden for the winter, though that won’t necessarily help out his furry friends in the park, led by the feisty Andie (Heigl). Of course, there’s a big complication. A group of human lowlifes plotting a bank heist have their own connections to the nut stash, for reasons unrelated to nutrition. So who’ll win out, the human criminals or the park animals?

And will Surly remain, er, surly and uncooperative, or will he work with the others? And what about Raccoon?

Is there something menacing in that deep, husky voice? Parents may concern themselves with these issues, while kids may simply be focusing on the puns, and, oh yes, the fart jokes.

And if they get tired of those, there’s always the animated PSY – yes, that PSY – at the end, singing and dancing his way through “Gangnam Style” as the credits roll. Never mind that this movie is supposed to take place some 50 years before the song came out.

It’s all mildly entertaining – if slightly nuts. – The Associated Press

“Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones” STARRING: Andrew Jacobs, Jorge Diaz, Gabrielle Walsh

PLOT: Jessie begins experiencing a number of disturbing and unexplainable things after the death of his neighbor. As he investigates, it isn’t long before Jessie finds he’s been marked for possession by a malevolent demonic entity, and it’s only a matter of time before he is completely under its control.

RATED: R for pervasive language, some violence, graphic nudity and some drug use TIME: 1 hour, 24 minutes VERDICT: It would be a wild exaggeration to suggest “Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones” breathes new life into the increasingly fumes-fueled found-footage horror subgenre, but it certainly represents a shot in the arm for this series after 2012’s poorly regarded “Paranormal Activity 4.” Functioning more as a mythology-expanding spinoff than a proper sequel, this fifth installment (the first directed by longtime series writer Christopher Landon) smartly

switches the setting away from airy suburbs to overcrowded, working-class apartments, and introduces a winning sense of humor that almost compensates for its relentless reliance on every terror trope in the book. At this point, the conventions and limitations of the found-footage horror film are almost as well-worn and cliched as those of horror flicks at large: “Put down the camera, stupid!” has now probably been shouted at just as many screens as “Don’t go down into the basement!” (Look for “Tilt your viewfinder 20 degrees to the left!” to finally supplant “Look out behind you!” within the present decade.)

Appropriately, the hapless heroes of “The Marked Ones” never put down the camera even as they venture into dark basements, or struggle to start a stalled car, or split up in the middle of a haunted mansion – and it’s to the credit of the film’s primary cast that these bits of genre-appropriate stupidity generate more laughs than groans. Kicking off with a high-school graduation, “The Marked Ones” centers on likably lunkheaded teenage buddies Jesse (Andrew Jacobs) and Hector (Jorge Diaz), as well as Jesse’s tag-along relative Marisol (Gabrielle Walsh). Set in gritty Oxnard, Calif., the film boasts an almost entirely Latino cast of characters – a welcome gesture toward a huge filmgoing demographic that rarely gets to see itself onscreen – while smart casting and production design help capture the flavor of the environs with only moderate deployment of cultural stereotypes. Seemingly possessing no greater postgrad ambitions than milling around and attempting “Jackass” stunts with their omnipresent video camera, Jesse and Hector harass Jesse’s abuela (Renee Victor), smoke pot, play basketball, occasionally run afoul of some local gangsters, draw

penises on one another’s faces, and generally break each other’s balls for a decent chunk of the film. Fortunately, Jacobs and Diaz boast an easy “Beavis and Butt-head”-esque chemistry throughout, making for pleasant company as the audience waits for the inevitable horrors to befall them. The first complication comes from Jesse’s elderly downstairs neighbor, Anna (Gloria Sandoval), whose reclusive behavior is strange enough for Hector to postulate that “maybe the bitch is a bruja.” The two try to spy on her by lowering a camera down through a ventilation shaft, where they witness Anna scrawling arcane symbols on the belly of a nude younger woman. Being teenage boys, they’re far too intrigued by the boobs on display to fret over the obvious occult ritual taking place, but when Anna is subsequently murdered, they decide to attempt some amateur late-night sleuthing, with predictably unpleasant results.

While the film hardly plays it coy about where this is all heading, it doesn’t seem to be in a rush to get there, and it springs a number of smart ideas along the way. Replacing the typical Ouija board with a haunted Simon game is sure to provoke howls of laughter from those in the appropriate age bracket, and the idea that a victim of demonic possession would rush to YouTube to show off his gnarly new abilities – and be promptly torn to shreds by comment section trolls – is sadly in keeping with the times. The haunted house set-pieces provide reliable doses of jolts, even if one can see the scaffolding of each scare being built from miles away, and director Landon has fun with some clever camera placement here and there. A very meta twist ending promises to either open up new narrative possibilities, or else push the franchise deep into a self-referential rabbit hole. – Variety

Long friendship suffers after Music can promote healing man makes a pass at neighbor and ease stress of daily living Dear Abby: Our neighbors of 14 years watch our dog while we are away, which is quite often. They have free access to our home with the key we have given them.

Two months ago, the husband hit on me, really pushing the issue for me to have sex with him. Then he apologized like it was nothing. I was upset, scared, shocked and told my husband because I was concerned. My husband was not happy about it.

We have not been able to look at him or his wife (my friend) since then. We are all middle-aged. Should I tell her why we have been absent, or can you help me figure out what to do? – Badly In Need Of Advice Dear Badly In Need: Make other plans for your dog when you travel, change the locks on your doors, and if your friend asks why you have been “absent,” tell her why. She may not like to hear it, but she should know if your friendship with her is going to continue, it will have to be without her husband being included. (She should have herself checked for STDs in case her husband has managed to get lucky with a neighbor who WAS willing.)

Dear Abby: I’m 31 and have been married to my husband

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips for 2 1/2 years. He wants a baby in the worst way. I don’t, and I have been clear about it.

Abby, my husband helps with nothing. I’m constantly cleaning, doing the laundry and cooking meals. That’s OK, but I’d like some help. I have asked him many times to do things before football comes on or to take a break from Netflix and get something done. It never happens.

I have been nice about it, and I have been angry.

We agreed to buy a bigger house and then have a baby, but at this rate, I already have one – my husband. Is there any hope? – Mama Already Dear Mama Already: No, I don’t think so. You married a man who is lazy, or passive aggressive and angry at your refusal to have a baby, or has been so spoiled by his mother he thinks this is a normal way to live. Counseling might help you get through to him, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Dear Abby: I am 10 years old, and I have a major boy problem. My ex (“Bob”) broke up with me, and I felt funny around him and a little mad.

So I kind of moved on. I went to my crush who had previously asked me out, and I said yes. Now I’m stuck, and I don’t know what to do. I asked my mom and didn’t like the answer, so now I’m asking you. –

Confused Girl In Arkansas Dear Confused Girl: I don’t know what your mother told you, but here’s my advice: At 10, you’re too young to be in an exclusive relationship with anyone. Because you regret saying yes to your crush, tell him your mother disapproves and you cannot go against her wishes.

Dear Abby: Can you please tell me the proper way to eat a taco salad? Do you crunch up the taco bowl or eat everything out of it and then eat the taco bowl? I asked my husband, and he said to ask you. – Traci In

Amsterdam, N.Y. Dear Traci: There are no rules of etiquette governing how to eat a taco salad.

However, when I order one, I usually eat the contents of the bowl, then chip off pieces of the tortilla if I still have enough room to nibble. I also have seen diners order the salad and ask that it be served on a salad plate (“Hold the taco!”) to save a few calories.

Dear Dr. K: I believe music helped my mother recover after her stroke. Is there a connection between music and health?

Dear Reader: The ancient Greeks certainly thought so: They put one god, Apollo, in charge of both healing and music. Recent medical studies seem to confirm what the Greeks thought. Music seems to slow heart rate, lower blood pressure and reduce levels of stress hormones. It also can provide some relief to heart attack and stroke victims and patients undergoing surgery.

How does music exert these benefits? Some research suggests music may promote the brain’s ability to make new connections between nerve cells.

Another idea is it works its magic through its rhythms. Humans are rhythmic beings: Our heartbeat, breathing and brain waves are all rhythmic. The human brain and nervous system are hard-wired to distinguish music from noise and to respond to rhythm and repetition, tones and tunes.

Not long ago, I had a vivid example of that. I was late to attend a concert because of a noisy traffic jam with lots of honking. I parked the car and entered the theater. The

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff concert already had started, and the music was louder by far than the sound of the traffic I had just left behind.

But despite its volume, the sound of the music made me feel instantly at peace. I had left a world of disordered noise and entered a world of ordered sound.

As you suspect may be true of your mother, there is some evidence music can help with stroke recovery. One study enrolled 60 patients hospitalized for major strokes. All received standard stroke care. In addition, one-third of the patients listened to recorded music for at least one hour a day, another third listened to audiobooks, and the final group did not receive auditory stimulation.

After three months, verbal memory improved 60 percent in the music listeners, compared with 20-30 percent in the audiobook group and to the patients who did not receive auditory stimulation.

In addition, the music listeners’ ability to perform and control certain mental operations improved by 17 percent.

The patients in the other two groups did not improve at all.

Music therapy also is used to help patients with balance and coordination. A program designed to train older adults to walk and perform various movements in time to music helped improve their gait and balance when compared with their peers.

I introduced a friend with severe Parkinson’s disease to a friend who was a singing teacher. I thought singing might help him cope with his disease. When my friend with Parkinson’s disease would find himself “locked” and unable to walk or use his arms much, he would burst out singing a few notes of an aria, which unlocked his legs.

Finally, music can relieve stress. It can improve mood, even in people with depression. And it can lower heart rates, breathing rates and oxygen demands in patients who have recently suffered a heart attack.

Music not only “has charms to soothe the savage breast,” it also helps us to heal.

That’s when fans attending this weekend’s Cubs Convention will participate in an hour-long question-and-answer session with the Ricketts family. Once the owners have left the stage, another session will follow with team president Theo Epstein, general manager Jed Hoyer and other front office executives.

“I welcome all questions,” Epstein said Friday before the opening ceremonies at the

Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers. “I really believe in what we’re doing.”

As Epstein spoke, prized power-hitting prospect Kris Bryant and several of his minorleague comrades, including Javier Baez, Albert Almora and Jorge Soler, walked past.

HUNTLEY 48, CARY-GROVE 39

Raiders make sure this time Huntley takes control of game after halftime

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CARY – The last time Huntley’s girls basketball team played at Elroy Fitzgerald Gymnasium remained etched in the Red Raiders’ memories when they stepped onto the court Friday against CaryGrove.

Almost exactly a year ago the Red Raiders blew a ninepoint lead in the fourth quarter, which cost them a share of the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division title. While the stakes weren’t exactly the same Friday, Huntley was determined to not let the past repeat itself. The Red Raiders outscored the Trojans by 12 in the second half en route to a 48-39 FVC Valley win to keep their division record unblemished.

“We were mentally prepared for that,” Huntley senior guard Bethany Zornow said.

“We watched more film about them. We knew what we had to do in order to not let the same thing happen in the second half. We just knew our assignment and collectively did well as a team.”

Huntley coach Steve Raethz tasked Zornow with the responsibility of trying to shut down C-G junior guard Katie Barker, whose 20.8 points a

Video online Watch highlights of the Huntley vs. Cary-Grove girls basketball game at McHenryCountySports. com. game leads the area. Zornow prepared for the challenge by guarding Huntley assistant coach Phil Leiterman, who played the role of Barker in practice.

It paid off for Zornow and the Red Raiders. Zornow limited Barker to 11 points, including only three field goals, and Huntley bounced back from a three-point halftime deficit.

Despite jumping to a 10-4 lead through one quarter, Huntley (17-3, 7-0 FVC Valley) scored only six points in the second quarter in an ugly offensive first half for both teams. C-G (12-8, 3-4) took a 19-16 lead into halftime after junior Alli Josefowicz scored three points in the final 1:18 of the quarter.

The Red Raiders played like a completely different team in the third quarter. Led by sophomore forward Ali Andrews, who scored a game-high 18 points, Huntley was able to break through against the Trojans’ defense.

Kaufman, Rockets hand Cogs first BNC East loss

By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – Richmond-Burton guard Sam Kaufman was tired of hearing about Genoa-Kingston and the Cogs’ good season.

“We hear about them all the time and, before the season, we heard them say, ‘Win conference or bust,’ ” Kaufman said. “Anytime you hear

something like that you want to come out and take it to them.”

The Rockets did just that Friday in a 66-52 win over the Cogs in a Big Northern Conference East Division boys basketball game.

R-B jumped out to an early 9-2 lead, forcing a Cogs timeout, behind points from five different players including seven from freshman center Joe St. Pierre. With the

Kaufman, who had 10 of his game-high 18 points in the first half, got the already energized crowd on its feet when he dunked after grabbing an offensive rebound to put the Rockets up 25-16 midway through the second quarter, forcing another G-K timeout.

“It’s a huge statement for us to beat them,” Kaufman said. “This

was one of our better games and it’s a statement to the rest of the conference that we’re still here.”

Coming out of the half, R-B started fast once again behind Mike Kaska’s three 3-pointers on three straight possessions. When the Cogs shifted their focus to Kaska, who had the hot hand, the Rockets

But what the dominant victory over the league’s most dominant team did – along with the heightened atmosphere that accompanied it – was rouse the Hawks out of their midseason doldrums, and serve as a reminder that no matter what the standings say, they’re still the reigning Stanley Cup champions.

And so the Ducks’ remarkable run ended at the United Center – the same place in which it began Dec. 6 – as the Hawks beat Anaheim for the first time in six tries.

After all the talk about how unstoppable the Ducks have been lately – they were coming off a 9-1 shellacking of Vancouver – the Hawks dominated from the start, racing out to a 6-0 lead in shots through five minutes.

Marian Hossa then gave them a 1-0 lead with a shorthanded goal at 10:34 of the first, keeping the puck on a two-on-one with Jonathan Toews and firing a shot past Jonas Hiller, who had won 14 straight games. It was the first time the Hawks scored the first goal in six games, and it was the 28th shorthanded goal of Hossa’s career – tying him with Martin St. Louis and Mike

Richards for the NHL lead among active players.

Kris Versteeg made it 2-0 at 17:06 of the first, out-battling two Ducks in front of Hiller and backhanding the puck into the net. It was Versteeg’s first goal in 10 games. Bryan Bickell added his first goal in 11 games midway through the third to ice the victory for the Hawks.

But the Ducks – who had twice as many penalties (four) as they had shots on goal (two) in the second period — suddenly made a game of it late. Ryan Getzlaf scored a seemingly harmless goal on a three-on-one with 6:13 left in the third period to break up Corey Crawford’s shutout bid.

But then Crawford gave up a soft goal to Kyle Palmieri from the high slot with 5:20 left to cut the lead to 3-2, leading to a tense ending until Hossa scored an empty-netter with 7.6 seconds left.

It wasn’t all good news, though. Versteeg did not play in the third period. He was slow to get up after colliding with Bickell behind the net at the end of the second period. And the Hawks were 0 for 5 on the power play for the second straight game, unable to take advantage of the undisciplined Ducks.

Wisconsin-Whitewater senior Katie Burton, a Crystal Lake South graduate, is averaging nine points a game this season after moving from guard to power forward.

South grad Burton embraces new role Katie Burton spent the first three seasons of her college basketball career on the perimeter, playing guard for the Wisconsin-Whitewater women’s team.

This winter, the Crystal Lake South graduate is working closer to the basket, and she has the scars to show for it.

“There are a lot more bumps and bruises down low,” the 5-foot-10 Burton said. “We’re a little bit smaller of a team this year, so I had to step into the [power forward] position. You don’t have to be the best player to box out and just be scrappy. It’s pretty fun.”

Burton’s scrappiness has led to career highs in scoring (9 points a game) and rebounding (3.6) for the Warhawks (12-3), who lead the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference with a 6-0 record.

Burton, who has started every game this season and is a team captain for Whitewater, has drawn praise for her selfless play and attitude.

“She is very unselfish,” Warhawks coach Keri Carollo said. “She doesn’t care how many points or rebounds she gets. She’s more concerned with what she can do to help the team win.”

Along with moving her game down low, Burton has contributed by hitting a career-best 41.3 percent of her 3-point shots. Her 20 3-pointers rank second on the team.

“That’s something that I really wanted to improve on, so I worked on my shot a lot in the offseason,” she said.

Burton’s shooting prowess also has pulled taller defenders away from the post.

“She’s done a really nice job,” Carollo said. “[She has improved] in all facets of the game, especially her defensive ability.”

Whitewater is coming off a season in which it played in the NCAA Division III national championship game and won the second-most games in school history (26-7).

“This is a different year and a different team,” Burton said. “It’s just not clicking the way we know it can.”

Carollo praised Burton and her teammates for their desire to improve despite their perfect WIAC start and No. 17 national ranking in this week’s D3Hoops.com poll.

“We are really working hard to get better every day,” Carollo said. “We aren’t clicking on all cylinders yet, but hopefully we will be soon.”

Despite not being at the top of their game yet, Whitewater has put together an impressive start to the WIAC season.

On Wednesday, the Warhawks won at UW-Platteville, 72-60, earning their 14th consecutive win against the Pioneers. On Jan. 8,

ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino Whitewater handed UW-Oshkosh its first loss of the season with a 72-66 decision in which Burton (13 points) was one of four double-digit scorers.

“I wouldn’t want to be out there with any other group of girls,” Burton said.

Freeman’s fast start: Cary-Grove grad Josh Freeman won the shot put in the season-opening Saluki Open last weekend in Carbondale.

Freeman, a sophomore at Southern Illinois, won the event by almost 5 feet. His winning throw of 59 feet, 8¼ inches ranks as the 13thbest shot put throw nationally this season.

On the first day of the two-day meet, Freeman placed third in the weight throw. His toss of 59-4¼ was a career-best performance.

Super sprinter: Samantha Nirva, a junior sprinter at D-II St. Joseph’s College in Indiana, was named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Women’s Indoor Track and Field Athlete of the Week on Wednesday.

In the season-opening Bob Eubanks Invitational at Grand Valley State, Nirva placed fifth in the 60-meter hurdles in 8.99 seconds.

The Prairie Ridge grad posted a time of 8.97 in the prelims.

The award was the first of Nirva’s career and the first weekly honor in school history for a Saint Joseph’s indoor track athlete.

Top Vikings: Cary-Grove grad Eric Chandler, Marian Central’s Will Hass and Huntley’s Josh Symbal were named football award winners this month for D-III Augustana College.

Chandler, a senior running back, was named the team’s Most Valuable Player. He led the Vikings with 757 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. Hass, a senior defensive tackle, won the program’s Jerry Frick Award, named for Augustana’s late team manager.

The honor symbolizes the concept of being a team player. Hass was honored for persevering through injuries this season to play in five games.

Symbal, a sophomore linebacker, was named the Scout Team Defensive MVP for the Vikings (5-5).

WRESTLING Woodstock North Duals: The

EAST-WEST SHRINE GAME, 3 P.M., NFL NETWORK

June Jones estimates he watched Jordan Lynch on TV four or five times this season.

Jones, who just completed his sixth season as Southern Methodist’s football coach, is working with the East team quarterbacks at the East-West Shrine Game, which airs at 3 p.m. Saturday on NFL Network.

Watching Lynch dominate opposing defenses and put up eye-popping numbers, Jones was impressed by his competitiveness and athleticism.

However, Jones didn’t really think he was a passing quarterback. The SMU coach who spent 11 seasons in the NFL and was the Atlanta Falcons’ coach from 1994 to 1996, didn’t think Lynch was accurate enough.

However, Jones said Lynch, who completed 63.1 percent of his passes for 2,676 yards, 23 touchdowns and seven interceptions his senior season, is a better passer than

Senior scores 27, grabs 22 boards

have been accurate.”

Jones said Lynch has what it takes to be a quarterback at the NFL level, and believes Lynch, who finished third in the Heisman Trophy balloting this past season, will be drafted.

“He’s going to get a chance

to get a look as a quarterback in the National Football League,” Jones said. “I think once he gets in the NFL he needs to be with a coach and a team who nurtures him along.”

Lynch has been working out in Indianapolis and will go back there after the Shrine Game to prepare for the NFL scouting combine, which will take place Feb. 22 to 25 at the Indianapolis Colts’ Lucas Oil Stadium.

He’s been working out specifically as a quarterback in Florida during practice for the East-West Shrine Game and has met with all 32 NFL teams this week.

“Half of them want me to play quarterback, half of them think I can be a good special teams player, fit the role there,” Lynch said. “My pitch is I’m a quarterback first. I’ll be willing to do whatever it takes to get on a team.”

Lynch is one of three quarterbacks on the East roster, and one of the others is a name NIU fans are familiar

with: Eastern Illinois’ Jimmy Garoppolo. The third quarterback is Jeff Mathews of Cornell.

Lynch said Jones’ offense, which is what the East will be running Saturday at Tropicana Field, is similar to what he ran at NIU. “Honestly, it’s not much of a difference, they’re kind of like the run and shoot [at SMU],” Lynch said. “Kind of no-huddle, spread, kind of fits well into what I do. He’s going to play to my strength.”

In the NFL, Lynch will have to take more snaps under center, something he didn’t do at all in NIU’s spread system.

These days, Jones doesn’t think that’s necessarily a huge change, and doesn’t believe it will be foreign to Lynch.

“If you look at the NFL right now, 30 percent of the game is really in the shotgun right now,” Jones said.

“If you would have asked me that question 20 years ago, he would have had something to transition to.”

host Thunder lost to Marengo, 58-18, and Richmond-Burton, 31-6. Cody Barnes (220 pounds) went 2-0 on the day for Woodstock North, including a pin in 4:23 against Marengo.

Marengo got wins from Joesph Mier (138) in a 9-1 major decision and a Kyle Gara (160) pin in 4:37.

The Rockets were led by a pinfall win by Garrett Sutton (160) and a 10-7 decision by Jake Holian.

BOYS BASKETBALL: GRAYSLAKE CENTRAL 44, DUNDEE-CROWN 41

Rams survive Chargers’ last gasp

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com CARPENTERSVILLE – Sometimes, Dundee-Crown struggles with committing too many turnovers.

At other times, the Chargers’ offensive problems stem from their inability to make shots.

D-C wrestled with both aspects in the second half Friday night against Grayslake Central, yet still had a chance to take a lead or force overtime in the final seconds.

Guards Zach Pochop and Cordero Parson both had 3-point shots roll around the rim in the final 10 seconds as the Rams held on for a 44-41 victory in a Fox Valley Conference crossover boys basketball game.

“I’m tired,” exasperated D-C coach

Lance Huber said. “If we fix one thing, another gap opens up. If we make shots, we turn the ball over. If we don’t turn it over, we can’t make shots. The name of the game is putting the ball in the basket. They put it in tonight, and we didn’t.”

D-C (4-10) made 4 of 15 field goals and committed 10 of its 16 turnovers in the second half. The Chargers also hit 9 of 19 free throws in that half, but still had their shots at the end.

Pochop’s 3 from the left corner was halfway down before rolling out.

“We were looking for Cordero to drive and he kicked it to me in the corner,” Pochop said. “I was feeling confident after hitting two 3s in the first half.

It felt good. I saw it roll in and out.”

Grayslake Central (8-7) rebounded and Rams guard Charlie Anderson,

who led all players with 18 points, was fouled with 6.7 seconds remaining. Anderson made one shot for a 44-41 lead.

D-C called timeout past the halfcourt line with 3.3 seconds to go. Forward Nick Munson inbounded to Parson in the left corner and his 3 rolled off the rim, giving the Rams the win.

“I still don’t know how we scored enough points to win that game,” Rams coach Brian Moe said. “I remember Charlie hitting 3 at the key and David [Llorens][ hitting a 3 on the wing. We didn’t make that many.”

Grayslake Central’s 8 of 20 second-half shooting, along with 8 of 16 on free throws, was just enough though.

Anderson finished with three 3s and Llorens, a 6-3 junior forward, hit 5 of 6 field goals for 12 points.

“In the third quarter we got into uni-

son better and that’s how we got back in it,” Anderson said. “I was a little nervous at the end, but we were able to hold them off.”

Anderson scored 16 of his points and hit all three of his 3s in the second half.

Pochop hit two 3s in the second quarter and Munson hit one as D-C pulled to a 23-16 halftime lead, the largest advantage of the game for either team.

“In the third quarter, we got careless with the ball and let them catch up,” Pochop said.

Huber thought his team had several quality shots when it was chasing Grayslake Central at the end.

“You just have to hit those shots if you want to win the game,” Huber said.

“They don’t mean to miss shots.

“It was one of those nights, and we’ve had a lot of those nights.”

Wolves hold off Eagles

By MAUREEN LYNCH sports@nwherald.com ALGONQUIN – In the locker room during halftime, Prairie Ridge girls basketball coach Rob Baker tossed out the warning, just in case his team needed a reminder.

The Wolves’ sizable advantage against Jacobs didn’t really ensure anything. This game was far from over, and Baker knew it.

His girls listened. The Golden Eagles matched their total first half output in the third quarter alone to give the Wolves the scare Baker expected to make Prairie Ridge’s 60-42 Fox Valley Conference Valley Division victory margin feel a bit narrower than the final score may have indicated.

“I expected to come in here and have a really tough time,” Baker said. “Jacobs has been playing really good basketball, and we knew they would make their run. This wasn’t going to be easy, and I was nervous.”

The Wolves led 34-16 at halftime, which helped them weather the third-quarter battle.

Prairie Ridge went ahead 40-20 at the 5:30 mark on what could have been a back-breaking sequence for Jacobs – back-toback putbacks from sophomore Kirsten Voel-Pel and senior Maddie Drain, who grabbed the rebound when Voel-Pel missed her free throw on a potential three-point play.

Instead of letting the spurt sink them, the Eagles began shooting their way back into contention. Nicole Cook hit her first of two 3-pointers, and Teaghan Richman and Glenita Williams followed suit to pull Jacobs (4-16, 2-5 FVC Valley) within 11 points, 40-29, with 3:16 left in the third and force the Wolves to take a time out.

“We needed to get our hands up and take care of the outside,” Prairie Ridge sophomore Aly Clark said. “They were hurting us.”

Prairie Ridge (13-6 overall, 6-1) scored six unanswered points on two free throws each from Drain and Sarah Le Beau, and a layup from Kelly Klendworth, to distance itself again.

The Wolves also clamped down on defense, getting back to what had helped fuel its first-half success.

The Wolves established their substantial lead by capitalizing on three straight Jacobs turnovers to begin the game. Prairie Ridge led 16-2 at the end of the first quarter.

The score swelled to 24-2 with 6:53 left in the second when Clark stole the ball, converted a layup and completed a threepoint play when she drew a foul.

Despite the loss, the comeback was encouraging, Jacobs coach Joe Benoit said.

“For as bad as we played early, we responded really well,” he said. “We weren’t ready to go, which is something we’d seen early in the season but not so much lately. But we were just one big stop away from being right back in it.”

Huntley senior Sam Andrews (center) is fouled by Cary-Grove senior Amy Clemment in the first quarter Friday in Cary. Huntley won, 48-39.

Barreto’s 3-pointers help Huntley pull away • HUNTLEY Continued from page C1 Sophomore point guard Kayla Barreto made two 3-pointers in a 20-second span with two minutes left in the third quarter to turn a three-point Huntley lead into a 31-22 advantage. C-G never recovered, only getting as close as seven points the rest of the game.

“Those 3-pointers were huge and really opened things up for us,” Raethz said of Barreto’s 3s. “I just thought we

got into a much better flow offensively in the second half and were more patient. As a result of that, we got better shots.”

The Trojans tried to pack in the paint to limit Ali Andrews and Sam Andrews’ effectiveness. Ali Andrews often found herself double- or triple-teamed, but her turnaround jumper was difficult to stop. Senior forward Sam Andrews added 13 points for Huntley.

C-G had its chances, but turnovers

thwarted the offense. The Trojans finished with 20 turnovers and it at times prevented the offense from getting in rhythm. Seniors Abby Glaysher and Abby Jakubicek scored nine and five points for C-G, respectively.

“We decided a while back we’re not the old press and get in your face [defense],” C-G coach Rod Saffert said.

“We realize we’re much better when we play below the 3-point line. We know what [Huntley] is going to do.

They’re still tough to stop.”

WRESTLING: McHENRY 38, HUNTLEY 27

Warriors too much for Red Raiders

By ROB SMITH rsmith@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Rolling through potential back points is not something McHenry heavyweight wrestler Chris Ulloa looks for, but when the opportunity presents itself he’s certainly willing to take advantage.

Ulloa pinned Huntley’s Dominic Swanson in 3:03 to seal a 38-27 Fox Valley Conference Valley Division dual for the Warriors.

After a scoreless first period, Ulloa started in the down position in the second. With Swanson looking to get back points, Ulloa rolled through the move and stuck the pin.

Ulloa said he was initially looking to stand up and get an escape at the beginning of the

second period.

“I’ll go for the stand up, that’s what they teach us,” Ulloa said. “I never aim for [rolling through], but if it’s there, I’ll go for it.”

That’s not to say he hasn’t practice the move.

“I had [Swanson’s] arm in tight,” Ulloa said. “In practice, when I get that arm in I roll with it.”

Huntley coach B.J. Bertelsman, who won a state title as a heavyweight for Belleville West, said getting caught like that is part of the learning experience for Swanson, who is in his first year of wrestling.

“We call that the big man roll,” Bertelsman said. “It’s [Swanson’s] first year. He’s going to get caught in those.”

The Warriors (4-1 FVC Valley) got off to an early lead, but

Huntley came back to go up, 15-8, with pins by Chris Gamboa at 132 pounds and Brandon Meyer (138).

The rest of the dual was back and forth until Ulloa put the Warriors up by eight with one match left.

“We knew it was going to be that kind of dual match,” Warriors’ coach Will Gaddy said. “B.J. has done a great job. The fun thing is all the (FVC Valley) teams are about equal.”

McHenry also got pins from Luis Hernandez at 220 and Cam Pait (160). Robby Duh won by technical fall at 120 for the Warriors.

Gaddy said losing to Dundee-Crown last week was kind of a wakeup call for his team. He praised his wrestlers for putting the team

first against the Red Raiders whether it was going for bonus points or preventing them by avoiding a pin or major decision.

“If we didn’t wrestle for the team tonight it would have been different,” Gaddy said. “[Losing to Dundee-Crown] kind of left a sour taste in our mouths.”

It was a tough week for Huntley (2-3) which also lost to Crystal Lake South on Thursday. While not happy with the losses, Bertelsman was pleased with the effort from his team.

“We wrestled the best two teams back to back, and I think we wrestled the best [we have],” Bertelsman said.

Huntley also got pins from Petros Mihalopoulos (182) and Mike Walker (195).

R-B coach pleased with improved defense • ROCKETS Continued from page C1 found other ways to score as Reggie Banks added points in the paint along with Danny Rygiel and Jake Kaufman.

“That first half of basketball helped because you’re feeling good,” Kaska said of his nine points in the first 1:36 of the third quarter. “It feels great when your teammates find you when you’re open and have confidence in

you to make plays.”

While the Rockets (144 overall, 4-1 BNC East) cruised offensively throughout, coach Brandon Creason was more excited about his team’s defensive effort, something that had been

lacking recently.

Creason put a huge emphasis on defense in the practices leading up to the game and was happy to positive results after the work.

The Cogs (12-7, 3-1) have some explosive players on offense like guard Tommy Lucca, who scored a teamhigh 13 points, and was the target of an aggressive Rockets defense.

“I thought that we anticipated really well tonight, especially on defense,” Crea-

son said. “Defense is the one thing I tried to get us back to and we really focused on defensive intensity and the kids responded.”

The Rockets forced eight first-half turnovers, 13 on the game, which helped take G-K out of rhythm on offense.

“We felt like we couldn’t let this one get by,” Creason said. “If we fall down two games (in conference play), it would be a real big climb and we thought that this is one that couldn’t get away.”

Johnsburg tidbits: Johnsburg’s win against Crystal Lake Central on Thursday featured some big pins by the Skyhawks, but both coaches said the result would have been different with a Tigers lineup that wasn’t missing five of their starters.

Even so, Johnsburg coach Jon Murphy sees some positives beyond the thrill of beating one of the top teams in the Fox Valley Conference and his former employer.

Murphy was an assistant under Central coach Justen Lehr during the Tigers’ run of nine individual state champions and placing at dual team state three times, including two second place finishes from 2009 to 2011. Murphy came to Johnsburg as an assistant and took over the program this season.

He said the transition from an established program to one he is trying to get established has been both frustrating and fun. He praised his current team for their effort in the practice room and in matches but is looking to increase participation by attracting quality athletes into the program.

“It’s definitely a grind. It’s a journey of peaks and valleys,” Murphy said. “It’s just a matter of getting a little success.”

Murphy said he knew there were kids in the stands Thursday who could contribute to the team, both now and in the future. Seeing the Skyhawks win, he hopes, will give a positive vibe to the wrestling program and entice some participation.

“This win is huge for Johnsburg,” Murphy said.

• Brandon Peshek, one of Murphy’s top wrestlers, got a new training workout for the fall: playing football. Murphy hoped football would increase Peshek’s intensity on the mat.

“It made [Peshek] more aggressive,” Murphy said. “He’s confident and wrestling well.”

Peshek is also up two weight classes from last season. Wrestling near his walking-around weight has made Peshek stronger without the toll on his body of cutting weight.

“Why spend all that time in the weight room and lose all that muscle?” Murphy said.

This week’s top meets Crystal Lake South at McHenry Crystal Lake Central at Grayslake Central 6:30 p.m. Thursday These could be the deciding matches of the FVC division races.

GREEN BAY PACKERS

Packers’ Greene steps away from coaching The ASSOCIATED PRESS GREEN BAY, Wis. – After a season of defensive struggles, Green Bay Packers outside linebackers coach Kevin Greene said Friday he was leaving the team to spend more time with his wife and children.

Coach Mike McCarthy announced Greene’s decision.

“I am stepping away from the NFL at this time in order to spend more time with my wife, Tara, and our children, Gavin and Gabrielle,” Greene said in a statement. “I will miss coaching and will try to return after our

kids move on to college if a team will have me.”

The former standout NFL linebacker called his experience with the Packers “nothing but positive.”

“I have a peace about the productivity that I helped bring forward in all of the fine young men that have been entrusted to me these past five years,” Greene said.

Green Bay (8-8-1) went 3-1 to finish the regular season but lost 23-20 to San Francisco in an NFC wild-card game.

In Greene’s five seasons as coach, the Packers recorded 204 sacks, fourth in the NFL over that period. Outside

linebackers accounted for 91.5 of those sacks.

Under Greene’s direction, linebacker Clay Matthews earned four straight Pro Bowl selections, becoming the first player in Packers history to be Kevin Greene named to the showcase game in each of his first four seasons in the league.

Matthews finished with a teamhigh 7½ sacks but was out much of last season with a thumb injury. The Pack-

ers piled up 44 sacks, tied for eighth in the league, but struggled against the run and finished ranked 25th in total defense, giving up 372 yards per game.

They suffered from a lack of turnovers, with just 11 interceptions all season. Linebacker A.J. Hawk had a team-high 118 tackles and career-high five sacks, but the Packers could use speed and/or playmaking ability at linebacker – along with a new position coach under defensive coordinator Dom Capers.

In 2009, Greene was part of a staff that guided the Packers defense to a No. 2 overall ranking in the NFL, the

highest mark since the 1996 team finished with the top-ranked defense.

“Kevin provided an incredible amount of energy, passion and knowledge each and every day he was with us. The dedication he showed to maximizing the potential of his players was clearly evident to anyone that worked with him, and he will be missed,” McCarthy said in the statement.

Greene, 51, played 15 years in the NFL, posting 160 career sacks for four different teams, the Los Angeles Rams, Pittsburgh, Carolina and San Francisco, and recording 10 double-digit sack seasons.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Unheralded players in key roles for Pats

Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey, one of the best to play the game, will make his first trip to the Super Bowl if the Broncos beat the New England Patriots on Sunday in the AFC Championship game.

DENVER BRONCOS

SUPER BOWL IN SIGHT NFL title game missing from Bailey’s brilliant résumé

By EDDIE PELLS The Associated Press ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – The highlight reel for Champ Bailey doesn’t run long.

For the first 14 years, that was because quarterbacks didn’t throw his way and there weren’t many plays to make.

For the past four months, it was because he was rarely on the field.

And nowhere among any of it is there a clip of him playing in a Super Bowl.

The Denver Broncos can help him change that Sunday. But if they beat the Patriots and Bailey finally makes it to the big show, he won’t consider himself having filled in the last missing piece of his resume, even if others will.

“I don’t worry about my legacy,” Bailey said. “All those things will take care of themselves.”

Essentially, they already have.

He’s a three-time, first-team AP AllPro, a 12-time Pro Bowl pick. He was named to the NFL’s All-Decade team for the 2000s. Although he’s had fewer opportunities than most, his 52 interceptions are still fourth most over his 15 years in the league. For all of that, he has earned the lasting respect of his peers and teammates.

“If you’re a cornerback, you have to be a fan of Champ Bailey,” said Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, who starts at right corner for the Broncos. “Anytime a guy does that for a period of time he did it, 14 or 15 years, you’ve got to watch him.”

year. A lingering foot injury has limited his time in the lineup. Inactive for 11 games, mostly a bit player in the rest, frustrated through all of it.

“My most frustrating, probably because I’m living it right now,” he said when asked where this season ranks. “The only thing I care about now is I’m back on the field. I’m ready to go. I feel good.”

The timing is good. Bailey is needed as much as ever in the wake of the season-ending knee injury cornerback Chris Harris Jr. suffered last week. It figures to put Bailey in the mix more against New England, whether it is at starting left cornerback, or in the slot where he played last week against the Chargers.

Since he was chosen seventh in the 1999 draft by the Redskins, Bailey has been among that rare group – Ronnie Lott, Darrell Green, Deion Sanders – who quarterbacks simply avoid.

As the years have passed, quarterbacks have tested him more.

Last year, in the playoff game against Baltimore, Bailey got beaten twice for long touchdowns. The offseason talk centered on whether it was time for Bailey to slide

gracefully over to the slot, or to safety. Before the injury, Bailey wasn’t ready to go there. Given the way this season has gone, and knowing he’s one win away from the Super Bowl, he’s willing to do whatever is needed.

“That’s the way I’ve played it since I came back from the injury,” Bailey said. “I don’t want to force anything. But I feel like I’m ready for whatever is thrown at me.”

The last time Bailey got this close to the Super Bowl was in the 2005 season. In the divisional playoff game, he intercepted Tom Brady and returned it 100 yards down the sideline. He got chased down a yard short of the touchdown. But it was a game-changing play and the Broncos won.

They had home-field the next week and lost to Pittsburgh.

“It was disappointing at the time and frustrating,” Bailey said. “But that was eight years ago. It’s not like it was two years ago.”

Since then, Bailey and the Broncos have had their chances to part ways. They came closest after the 2010 season when the Broncos front office – in transition after the firing of Josh McDaniels – first made an offer, then withdrew it, and Bailey went as far as to put his house on the market.

Once Broncos Executive Vice President John Elway came in to run the personnel department, he didn’t think twice about keeping Bailey in Denver.

“Champ could still play, still can play,” Elway said in an interview last year. “The number-one domino, in my mind, was to

NFL NOTES

Lions hire Austin as defensive coordinator The ASSOCIATED PRESS ALLEN PARK, Mich. – Detroit Lions coach Jim Caldwell is turning to a familiar face to become his defensive coordinator.

The Lions have hired Teryl Austin, who spent the past three seasons as the defensive backs coach in Baltimore where Caldwell was an assistant before he left this week to take over in Detroit.

The Lions also said Friday that they have hired Tampa Bay defensive coordinator

Bill Sheridan as linebackers coach.

Caldwell was hired by Baltimore two years ago to be their quarterbacks c o a c h a n d Teryl Austin was promoted to offensive coordinator late in the 2012 season. He replaces the fired Jim Schwartz in Detroit.

Before working with the Ravens, Austin was a defensive backs coach with the Ar-

izona Cardinals (2007-09) and Seattle Seahawks (2003-05).

Titans name Michael OC: At Nashville, Tenn., Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt hired Chargers assistant Jason Michael to be Tennessee’s new offensive coordinator as he continues to fill out his coaching staff.

The Titans announced the hiring Friday.

Whisenhunt, who was hired Monday, plans to call the plays offensively. But he said Michael really impressed him with his knowl-

edge of the run and pass games and that the coach was a big part of putting together plans in San Diego this season.

Michael, 35, worked this past season with Whisenhunt in San Diego. Michael spent the past three seasons coaching tight ends for the Chargers with San Diego ranking in the NFL’s top 10 offensively in two of his three seasons. He also was first an offensive assistant and then quarterbacks coach with San Francisco in 2009 and 2010.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – On paper, this New England team doesn’t measure up to others Bill Belichick has taken to AFC Championship games.

On the field, though, unheralded players replacing missing stars filled major roles to get the Patriots to where they are now – a win away from their second Super Bowl in three years.

“It doesn’t really matter how a player gets to the New England Patriots, whether he’s drafted, traded, signed as a free agent, signed as an unrestricted free agent, signed as a street free agent,” Belichick said. “It’s much more important what they do when they get here.”

Sealver Siliga wasn’t drafted in 2011. He was cut by three teams – the other three still in the playoffs. Now he’s filling the shoes of five-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Vince Wilfork, whose season ended when he tore his right Achilles tendon in his fourth game.

“I don’t even think of that.

Those shoes are too big,” Siliga said. “Just trying to do my job.”

Matthew Mulligan was released by six teams, including the Patriots, after being ignored in the 2009 draft. Now he’s playing tight end after Rob Gronkowski tore ligaments in his right knee and went on injured reserve Dec. 9.

“I don’t think you replace anybody,” Mulligan said.

“Gronk is Gronk and I’m me, and that’s just what it is.”

More key starters for the Patriots (13-4) will miss Sunday’s AFC Championship game against the Denver Broncos (14-3) because of season-ending injuries – linebackers Jerod Mayo and Brandon Spikes, defensive tackle Tommy Kelly and offensive tackle Sebastian Vollmer.

Then there are the rookies, 15 on the 53-man roster.

Now compare that to the team that went to the 2012 Super Bowl with Gronkowski,

Wilfork, Wes Welker and Aaron Hernandez. Or the one that got there four years earlier with an 18-0 record and Welker, Randy Moss, Tedy Bruschi and Rodney Harrison. The Patriots lost both games to the New York Giants.

The Patriots’ two Super Bowl teams before that? They had Bruschi, Harrison, Willie McGinest and Richard Seymour and won both.

McGinest goes all the way back to the heavy underdogs who beat the St. Louis Rams in the Super Bowl in the 2001 season to find a Patriots team similar to the current one.

“They don’t ever give up,” said McGinest, who will serve as an honorary Patriots captain Sunday. “Maybe (they’re) like us in our first year in 2001, where a lot of people didn’t consider us as household names, a lot of younger players or players that were kind of off the radar that kind of bought more into the team aspect of things, of being unselfish instead of the self-promotion type thing.

“Everybody on our teams became somebody because of what we did on a consistent basis. I think these guys have the unique opportunity to do the same, to make those names for themselves, to be in these big games, to make those plays, to go out and prove to everybody that they belong.”

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

WR Harvin to sit out; LB Wright ready to go

By TIM BOOTH The Associated Press RENTON, Wash. – Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Percy Harvin will miss Sunday’s NFC championship game after he was not cleared by doctors after a concussion suffered in last week’s playoff game against Percy Harvin New Orleans.

S e a t t l e coach Pete Carroll announced Harvin’s status after practice Friday. Harvin did not participate all week and was not cleared through the league’s concussion protocol. Harvin’s loss subtracts a significant playmaker from Seattle’s offense heading into the game against San Francisco.

“It’s super disappointing for Percy,” Carroll said.

Harvin suffered the concus-

sion late in the first half while jumping for a pass in the end zone and hitting his head on the turf as he was being hit by New Orleans safety Malcolm Jenkins. It was the second big hit Harvin absorbed in the game. He was belted by Rafael Bush on Seattle’s opening possession, a hit that drew a 15-yard penalty.

Harvin brought a jolt of energy and excitement to Seattle’s offense before being injured. Harvin had three receptions and had a 9-yard run on his lone carry. He also drew attention and made Seattle’s offense function better. The Seahawks had 163 yards of offense in the first half and 114 yards in the second half.

Linebacker K.J. Wright will play after being out since fracturing his foot in Week 14.

Wright was injured against the 49ers but worked diligently rehabilitating his foot after having surgery to insert a screw to stabilize the fracture.

WIZARDS 96, BULLS 93

Thibs defends players’ minutes

By JOE COWLEY

Next for the Bulls

jcowley@suntimes.com WASHINGTON – The nation’s capital was a good place for a history lesson after the shootaround Friday morning, and Tom Thibodeau provided one hours before his team lost to the Wizards, 96-93, at the Verizon Center.

The Bulls’ coach knows that his critics often point out the minutes he gives to certain players. So after a franchise-record 60 minutes played by Jimmy Butler in Wednesday night’s triple-overtime win over the Magic, Thibodeau was on the defensive.

“I think when you look at that, you have to compare AP photo apples to apples,’” Thibodeau Bulls forward Mike Dunleavy shoots Friday over Wizards center Marcin said. “If you look at the top small forwards in the league Gortat in the first quarter in Washington.

Bradley pulls away to beat SIU for 3rd straight time PEORIA – Walt Lemon, Jr. got to the basket for a dunk, and Omari Grier got to the line to make 3 of 4 free throws in the final minute Friday as Bradley knocked off Southern Illinois for the third straight time, 66-60.

It’s the first time Bradley (7-12, 2-4 Missouri Valley) has won three straight against the Salukis (6-13, 2-4) since a string that began in the 1999-2000 season and concluded in 2000-01.

Philadelphia at Bulls, 7 p.m. Saturday, WGN, AM-1000 and you look at where their minutes are, they all averaged 37 to 38 minutes. So if you want to say [former Bulls forward Luol Deng] played 20 seconds a game more than he should’ve, so be it. If you look at total minutes, it wasn’t even close.

Overall, our minutes are way below what normal starters do. And if you guys study the history of the league, which I’m sure you do, the great Bulls teams you’d see that [Michael] Jordan and [Scottie] Pippen

well into their 30s were playing huge minutes. So I’m trying to be like Phil [Jackson].’’

Three times in Jordan’s career he averaged more than 40 minutes a game, and his final season with the Bulls he averaged 38.8 minutes. Pippen had five seasons in which he averaged more than 38 minutes.

“Yes, they did. I know,” Thibodeau continued of Pippen and Jordan. “I sat on that other bench. I was always sitting there saying, ‘When’s he going to take them out?’ He never did. And you know what?

That was great coaching. And [Spurs coach Gregg] Popovich was the same way with [Tim] Duncan early on in his career.

I think Pop is, certainly he and Phil are two of the best, maybe the greatest of all-time both of them. I think how you pace

your team is important.”

As far as the second loss to Washington in less than a week, it wasn’t about minutes played or workload as much as what the Wizards did down the stretch.

A Marcin Gortat lay-in with 2:46 put the Wizards up 96-91. The Bulls cut the lead to three, but wasted two possessions after that.

After a Taj Gibson miss and then a loose-ball foul by the Wizards, the Bulls got the ball back with 10.4 seconds left, still trailing 96-93. Butler tried to get free for the tying 3-pointer but couldn’t shake Nene, who blocked his desperation shot.

The loss dropped the Bulls to 18-20 on the year, as well as dropping them behind the Wizards (19-19) in the Eastern Conference playoff seedings.

Epstein prefers to talk about prospects, not 2014 roster • MUSICK Continued from page C1 So, you know, maybe ask those questions about how awesome Bryant will be instead of why the team’s biggest offseason addition has been a mascot.

“We just wrapped a phenomenal, weeklong rookie development program with several players who are going to have a significant impact on the future of this franchise,” Epstein said. “Morale is great among that group, and we’re incredibly optimistic about the future.

“Obviously, the results haven’t manifested yet at the big league level, and that’s what the fans pay to see, so we should answer for that. I think we have to be honest about where we are as an organization, where we are as a major

league team, and where we’re headed. I couldn’t believe more in where we’re going.”

But where exactly are they going?

Once the calendar hits 2015 or 2016, other teams in the NL Central are not contractually obligated to step aside.

The St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates are loaded with young talent, and the Cincinnati Reds are far from becoming an easy out.

Yet Epstein maintained a poker face, at least in front of the cameras. When a reporter noted that the Cubs improved by five wins from 2012 to 2013 and asked whether another five-win increase was reasonable in 2014, Epstein didn’t flinch.

“Well, we certainly want a lot more than that,” said Epstein, who fired manager Dale Sveum at the end of last

season and replaced him with Rick Renteria, the former bench coach of the San Diego Padres. “The goal is always to make it into the postseason.

You never surrender until you’re mathematically eliminated.”

Hey, there’s a motto for 2014.

Chicago Cubs baseball! We never surrender until we’re mathematically eliminated!

Fortunately, Epstein could not hear my inner thoughts as he discussed his team.

“Obviously, there is a bigger picture at play,” Epstein said. “We’ve been honest from Day One that if there’s tension between the immediate present and this sustainable future that we’re building, we’re going to lean toward the future.

“But, that said, this season is starting. We don’t show

up in spring training saying, like, ‘Hey, let’s get ready for 2000-and-whatever year down the road.’ We’re trying to compete and win as many games as we can in 2014.”

Of course, the players on the big league roster will try to win. Yet, by and large, Epstein and his front-office staff have filled the roster with temp workers, mostly anonymous but friendly players with high hopes and low ceilings.

Perhaps Jeff Samardzija will stay past the next few months to anchor the rotation, but it’s more likely that he will be gone by the trading deadline. Perhaps the Cubs will invest mega-money to sign star Japanese pitcher Masahiro Tanaka, a 25-year-old right-hander, but is it wrong to assume that a World Series hopeful such as the New York Yankees or Los Angeles Dodg-

ers will win the sweepstakes?

Is it wrong to assume that another long, disappointing year is in store for the Cubs?

“There’s been a lot of teams in the history of this game that have come from last place to make the playoffs,” said Cubs second baseman Darwin Barney, a veteran of 470 games and zero playoff appearances. “So, why can’t we be that team?

“I think guys are growing up and maturing. When you have a bad season, you learn a lot about yourself and you learn a lot about your teammates. We’re ready to rebound and have a good year.”

Do you agree?

Ask away, Cubs fans.

UConn’s Boatright honors cousin slain in Aurora HARTFORD, Conn. – UConn and former East Aurora guard Ryan Boatright often wears his emotions on his face. On Thursday, they were just a bit more visible.

Boatright had the initials “AW” drawn on his left cheek in marker during the team’s nationally televised game against Memphis. It was a visible tribute to his cousin, 20-year-old Arin Williams, who was shot to death Monday in Boatright’s hometown of Aurora.

Williams’ mother died in childbirth, and he and Boatright were raised as brothers in Boatright’s home.

“He called my mom, ‘Mom,’” Boatright told reporters after the game.

Williams was shot to death in the bathroom of a restaurant in Aurora by two brothers who tried to rob him during what Williams thought was a drug deal, police said.

Jaquan Hosey-Green, 19, and his 18-year-old brother, Dimitri Hosey-Green of Joliet were charged with murder.

A day after shooting a 9-under-par 63 at PGA West’s Arnold Palmer Private Course, Reed had another 9-under 63 down the road Friday at La Quinta to stretch his advantage to two strokes over Brendon Todd.

FIVE-DAY PLANNER

AUSTRALIAN OPEN

TEAM

Djokovic, Serena into 4th round MELBOURNE, Australia – The heat wave didn’t claim any major casualties at the Australian Open. Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams extended their winning streaks to move into the fourth round, and all except one of the leading contenders made it through to the weekend.

Five-time champion Williams saw off the worst of the searing, once-in-a-century conditions that scorched Melbourne for four straight days, beating Daniela Hantuchova, 6-3, 6-3, on Friday.

Melbourne Park didn’t quite reach the forecast peak of 111 degrees – it did get to 109 – that had some players complaining about “inhumane” conditions.

Williams has never been one to be seriously affected by the heat, but even she had to admit she was looking forward to the cooler conditions expected from Saturday. She also admitted to a little bit of relief after an injury to her sister, Venus, meant they had to withdraw from the doubles.

Djokovic used to struggle in the heat, but has grown accustomed to it with three consecutive Australian titles. He’s aiming to be the first man in the Open era to win four in a row, and thinks he’s getting there.

He benefited from the cool change that swept in late Friday before his 6-3, 6-3, 7-5 win over Denis Istomin. He wrapped it up at 12:10 a.m. local time, and thanked the crowd – including new coach Boris Becker – for staying past midnight.

The only time he was broken was serving for the match – he was clearly irritated but quickly recovered and finished it off two games later.

“As the tournament progresses, I play better and better,” Djokovic said.

He has won 24 consecutive matches at Melbourne Park. It’s not in the league of Roger Federer’s

Novak Djokovic celebrates after his win over Denis Istomin during their third round of the Australian Open on Friday in Melbourne. reign at Wimbledon, but he is in contention to be the first man in the Open era to win four consecutive Australian titles.

“Well, if I can compare myself to Roger’s success in Wimbledon, that’s definitely a compliment,” he said. “There’s still a lot more years to come from me, a lot more to prove.

“This is definitely one of my ... best Grand Slams by far. Results are showing that.”

Djokovic’s overall winning streak stands at 27 matches – he hasn’t lost since the U.S. Open final last September, when he was beaten by a resurgent Rafael Nadal. He subsequently lost his No. 1 ranking to Nadal, despite winning four straight tournaments at the end of 2013.

The other active major winners are either on the opposite side – Nadal, Andy Murray and Roger Federer play their third-round matches Saturday – or out of the competition. No. 5 Juan Martin del Potro, the 2009 U.S. Open champion, was the biggest casualty of the second round.

Crystal Lake Health Foods owner Dave Childress (left) orders vitamins for John Jonelis of Crystal Lake.

Vitamin see Local businesses question recent study results

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – To local vitamin vendors, no study or paper questioning their value can counter what they see with their own two eyes every day with their customers.

The difference in health and appearance of a customer who comes in for the first time and his or her subsequent visits is profound, said Peter Schmitz, co-owner of New U in Lake in the Hills. No study alleging that vitamins don’t do much, including several published last month, change that, he said.

“What vitamins did [the authors] really use? In the world of vitamins, I would simplify that there are good, better and best. But if you buy the basic multivitamin for $10, you get what you pay for,” Schmitz said.

Two clinical trials published in December in the Annals of Internal Medicine concluded multivitamins had no effect on cognitive or cardiovascular health or other chronic diseases, and that “they should be avoided.” The studies followed a November published review of more than two dozen studies that concluded supplements carried little health benefit for people with an adequate diet.

Local vendors such as Schmitz and Anne Worth, owner of Nature’s Cornucopia in McHenry, said they beg to differ. Worth bought the 43-year-old business in 1999 and carefully selects what vitamins and supplements end

Vitamins and supplements line the shelves at Crystal Lake Health Foods. up on her shelves.

“Just a multiple vitamin is going to supply the basics to help your body grow healthy, build bone, maintain muscle, eliminate toxins ... there are so many functions in the body that rely on certain nutrients. It’s amazing. And if you’re missing some nutrients, you have an inefficient operation going on,” Worth said.

Local vendors aren’t the only ones questioning the latest studies’ accuracy. They are a small part of the $23.4-billion global vitamin industry, about $14.2 billion of which is multivitamins. The vitamin and exercise business has been good for Schmitz and his wife, Carol, who are moving

their business, formerly CL Nutrition in Crystal Lake, to a larger facility at 1531 Imhoff Drive, Unit B, in Lake in the Hills. New U is a distributor for Herbalife, a Los Angeles-based global nutrition and weight-control business that reported almost $4.1 billion in sales in 2012.

Schmitz pointed out that studies abound concluding vitamins have a definite health benefit. Also, discriminating customers at Worth’s store at 1717 N. Richmond Road in McHenry can ask for the websites of the clinical trials of the vitamins she sells.

Google is testing a contact lens to explore tear glucose. It may be the smallest wireless glucose sensor that has ever been made. out with friends, heading down to the beach to bodysurf or going to lunch, I have to hold everyone up to take my blood sugar.”

The idea that all of that monitoring could be going on passively, through a contact lens, is especially promising for the world’s 382 million diabetics who need insulin and keep a close watch on their blood sugar.

The prototype, which Google says will take at least five years to reach consumers, is one of several medical devices being designed

NEW YORK – General Electric Co. posted increased revenue and profit for the fourth quarter on rising sales in emerging markets, higher banking profit, and stronger global sales of aircraft engines and oil and gas drilling equipment.

The company’s profit for all of 2013 rose, though revenue fell slightly, as GE continues its transformation from a sprawling conglomerate to a more focused industrial company that builds and services complex equipment such as CT-scanners, locomotives and gas-fired turbines.

GE reported its net income rose 5 percent to $4.2 billion, or 41 cents a share, for the October-December period on revenue of $40.38 billion.

That’s up from $4.01 billion, or 38 cents a share, on revenue of $39.16 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Adjusted to remove the effects of one-time items and discontinued operations, GE earned 53 cents a share in the latest period. That matches what analysts polled by FactSet expected, on average.

DALLAS – UPS may be forced to change the way it plans for the holiday season after December shipping problems took a bite out of fourth-quarter earnings.

The company said Friday it took “extraordinary” steps to meet holiday demand, including hiring 85,000 seasonal employees – 30,000 more than planned.

But the company’s network of brown trucks and planes was overwhelmed by what it termed “an unprecedented level” of online shopping including “a surge of last-minute orders.” Bad weather also was a factor, it said in a news release. Company officials declined interview requests.

Online shopping is good for UPS, as customers count on delivery companies to get those packages where they are supposed to go on time. But volumes were so high last month that hundreds of thousands of packages didn’t get to their destinations before Christmas – UPS hasn’t disclosed the exact number. Amazon.com offered shipping-charge refunds and a $20 credit for some customers affected by UPS delays.

On Friday, UPS said it delivered a record 31 million packages Dec. 23. That peak, however, came six days later than UPS had planned, and it was 7.5 percent more packages than the company had expected on the busiest day of the season.

Google lens could be option for diabetics MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – Brian Otis gingerly holds what looks like a typical contact lens on his index finger. Look closer.

Sandwiched in this lens are two twinkling glitterspecks loaded with tens of thousands of miniaturized transistors. It’s ringed with a hair-thin antenna. Together, these remarkable miniature electronics can monitor glucose levels in tears of diabetics and then wirelessly transmit them to a handheld device.

“It doesn’t look like much, but it was a crazy amount of work to get everything so very small,” he said before the project was unveiled Thursday.

During years of soldering hair-thin wires to miniaturize electronics, Otis burned his fingertips so often he no longer can feel the tiny chips he made from scratch in Google’s Silicon Valley headquarters, a small price to pay for what he says is the smallest wireless glucose sensor ever made.

Just 35 miles away in the beach town of Santa Cruz, high school soccer coach and university senior Michael Vahradian, 21, has his own set of fingertip cal-

WASHINGTON – U.S. home construction slowed in December but ended 2013 with the best showing since the housing bubble burst.

The Commerce Department said Friday builders broke ground last month at a seasonally annual rate of 999,000.

That’s 9.8 percent lower than November’s pace of 1.12 million, which was the fastest in five years.

For the year, builders started 923,000 homes and apartments, up 18.3 percent from 2012. It was the fourth straight annual gain and the strongest since 2007, when 1.36 million homes were started.

The housing market has been recovering steadily over the past year, helping to boost economic growth and create jobs.

But a rise in mortgage rates from record lows reached a year ago have started to weigh on those gains.

Woodstock Chamber had successful year in 2013 When I went from interim executive director to executive director of the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce and Industry in 2010, there were many things I wanted to accomplish. The list was long and the challenges were plenty, but here we are three years later and I am proud to say most of those challenges have been turned into accomplishments.

A significant achievement for 2013 was the introduction of our redesigned website, www.woodstockilchamber.com. Thanks to the communications committee and Cindi Carrigan of Carrigan Design, the rollout of our website was the culmination of the efforts we began in 2012 to rebrand the Woodstock

nual events the chamber sponsors including the upcoming 69th Annual Woodstock Chamber Meeting & Awards Ceremony, which will be from 6 to 9 p.m. Feb. 20 at the Woodstock Public House, 201 Main St., Woodstock.

Tickets are $65 and include networking, the awards ceremony, food and an open bar. To attend, RSVP with payment to the chamber

by Feb. 13 by calling 815-338-2436.

Tickets also may be purchased at the chamber office, 136 Cass St., Woodstock.

Also in 2013, we revamped our Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) Group with a new monthly meeting format that has resulted in a significant increase in attendance dur-

CHAMBER NEWS Shari Gray Chamber.

Our new website is the piece de resistance that compliments the chamber’s new logo and the marketing program that was implemented in 2012. It allows visitors to quickly and easily find contact information on any of our member businesses. News on our members is updated multiple times a week.

The site has information on how to join the chamber and the many benefits of membership. An events section showcases the many an-

ing the third and fourth quarters.

If you missed any of these great events you can still view them on our YouTube Channel, www. youtube.com/user/TheWoodstockChamber. A monthly SOHO Group Newsletter, new in 2013, has received rave reviews as it chronicles information on the upcoming guest speaker and informative articles geared to help small businesses.

Guests are always welcome at our SOHO Group meetings.

Another point of pride for 2013 is the chamber formed a new partnership with Adult & Child Therapy Services to bring the first Ale Festival to McHenry County in 2015. This exciting event will be a major fundraiser for the chamber

and ACTS. It provides an opportunity to showcase Woodstock to an anticipated 2,000 attendees. This event is truly unique to Woodstock and will offer an exclusive occasion for our membership to gain great exposure.

These are just some of the highlights and accomplishments of 2013 and I am looking forward to continuing the growth of the chamber this year. If you are not already a member of the chamber, I invite you to get involved. Contact us at 815338-2436 or chamber@woodstockilchamber.com.

Vendors: People have different diets, needs Research continues on other monitors • VITAMINS Continued from page E1 Worth and Schmitz pounced on the study’s conclusion that vitamins and supplements have little value in what The Wall Street Journal described as “generally well-nourished, Western populations.” Far too many people, they said, are not well-nourished.

Dave Childress, manager of Crystal Lake Health Food Store at 25 E. Crystal Lake Ave., told the Northwest Herald in a Jan. 9 story that people eat a lot of nutrient-poor food loaded with processed carbohydrates, and don’t get what they need.

Worth and Schmitz also noted people who try to eat better still may not be getting required nutrients. While Schmitz pointed out that produce that is not freshly picked like what you would find at a farmers’ market will not contain all the nutrients one might think. Worth added that other factors may also come into play.

“What we’re having happen with our food supply is that it doesn’t contain the nutrients that God intended for it to contain. They’re growing food that some people call ‘Frankenfood’ because it’s been genetically modified by various companies, and if you don’t know what to look for, you could be

eating a lot of pesticides on the foods, chemical fertilizers ... they’re not going to hold any nutrients,” Worth said.

But this does not mean that popping a vitamin into your mouth every morning is the cure-all, local vendors said. Individual people have different needs and different deficiencies depending on their diet. And others, for health and age reasons, might be eating right but their bodies need something extra to help absorb needed nutrients.

Like any product, Schmitz said, the right plan – and quality – are important.

“If you’re going to take something, you want it to do something,” Schmitz said.

Higher consumer demand is driving much of the increased manufacturing activity. Production of appliances, furniture, carpeting, food and clothing all grew in December. Output of consumer goods gained 0.5 percent.

Overall industrial production, which includes manufacturing, mining and utilities, increased 0.3 percent in December.

That’s also the fifth straight monthly gain.

Total production increased 3.7 percent over the last 12 months and has surpassed its prerecession peak. Output is now

22 percent above its recession low hit in June 2009, the month the downturn ended.

Other indicators point to continued manufacturing strength.

Factory orders climbed 1.8 percent in November.

A surge in aircraft demand led the increase in orders, while businesses stepped up spending on machinery, computers and other long-lasting goods. Rising factory orders should help keep economic growth solid in the OctoberDecember quarter.

• LENS Continued from page E1 But research on the contact lenses began several years earlier at the University of Washington, where scientists worked under National Science Foundation funding. Until Thursday, when Google shared information about the project with The Associated Press, the work had been kept under wraps.

“You can take it to a certain level in an academic setting, but at Google we were given the latitude to invest in this project,” Otis said.

“The beautiful thing is we’re leveraging all of the innovation in the semiconductor industry that was aimed at making cellphones smaller and more powerful.”

American Diabetes Association board chair Dwight Holing said he’s gratified that creative scientists are searching for solutions for people with diabetes but warned that the device must provide accurate and timely information.

“People with diabetes base very important health care decisions on the data we get from our monitors,” he said.

Other non-needle glucose monitoring systems are also in the works, including a similar contact lens by Netherlands-based Novio-

8IN BRIEF U.S. factory output rises for fifth straight month WASHINGTON – U.S. factory output rose for a fifth straight month in December, as manufacturers cranked out more cars and trucks, appliances and processed food. The gains suggest factories gave economic growth a strong boost at the end of the year.

The Federal Reserve said Friday factory production rose 0.4 percent in December. That follows gains of 0.6 percent in both November and October.

Automakers increased their production 1.8 percent last month and 10.4 percent year over year.

Sense, a minuscule, flexible spring that is tucked under an eyelid. Israel-based OrSense has already tested a thumb cuff, and there have been early designs for tattoos and saliva sensors.

A wristwatch monitor was approved by the FDA in 2001, but patients said the low level electric currents pulling fluid from their skin was painful, and it was buggy.

“There are a lot of people who have big promises,” said Dr. Christopher Wilson, CEO of NovioSense. “It’s just a question of who gets to market with something that really works first.”

Palo Alto Medical Foundation endocrinologist Dr. Larry Levin said it was remarkable and important that a tech firm like Google is getting into the medical field and that he’d like to be able to offer his patients a pain-free alternative from either pricking their fingers or living with a thick needle embedded in their stomach for constant monitoring.

“Google, they’re innovative, they are up on new technologies, and also we have to be honest here, the driving force is money,” he said.

Worldwide, the glucosemonitoring devices market is expected to be more than $16 billion by the end of this year, according to analysts at Renub Research.

The Google team built the wireless chips in clean rooms and used advanced engineering to get integrated circuits and a glucose sensor into such a small space.

Researchers also had to build in a system to pull energy from incoming radio frequency waves to power the device enough to collect and transmit one glucose reading per second. The embedded electronics in the lens don’t obscure vision because they lie outside the eye’s pupil and iris.

Google is now looking for partners with experience bringing similar products to market.

Google officials declined to say how many people worked on the project or how much the firm has invested in it.

Dr. David Klonoff, medical director of the diabetes research institute at MillsPeninsula Health Services in San Mateo, worked with Google to see whether glucose is present in tears and whether the amount of glucose is proportional to the amount of glucose in blood.

He’s still analyzing but optimistic about his findings and warns there are many potential pitfalls.

“Already this has some breakthrough technologies, but this is a moonshot, there are so many challenges,” he said.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

The Houses of Parliament in London are encouraging the development of bridge. In July, 12 pupils from Spaxton Primary School in Somerset, U.K., played a game of MiniBridge in the River Room, made available by the Lord Speaker of the House of Lords, The Rt. Hon. the Baroness D’Souza, CMG. The Lords and the Commons also hold an annual bridge match. Last year’s was won by the lower house, the Commons, and that leaves the series score at 21-18 in favor of the upper house.

Today’s deal was chosen as the best-played of the day.

It was declared by the Earl of Caithness, who was in four spades. West led the diamond king. When East started a high-low with his 10, West cashed his diamond ace and persevered with the diamond queen. How did Caithness continue?

North, Lady Blackstone, made a game-invitational limit raise of three spades.

These days, in the tournament world, jump raises in competitive auctions are pre-emptive.

North would have cue-bid three diamonds to show spade support and at least game-

invitational values.

If South ruffed the third diamond low in the dummy, East would overruff, and later declarer would lose a club to go down one. Alternatively, if he ruffed with dummy’s spade queen, that would promote a trump trick for the opponents if spades were breaking 3-1, also resulting in down one.

Caithness saw the solution. At trick three, he discarded a club from the board -- a textbook loser-on-loser play. Then, after drawing trumps, South ruffed his club loser in the dummy to take ive spades, two hearts, two clubs and that ruff.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - Your vision, discretion and determination will lead you to the winner’s circle. Remaining calm when everyone around you is anxious will ensure that your reputation remains stellar. Discipline and consistency will keep the competition or opposition you face in the background. Partnerships will need nurturing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t let impulse take over, or you may make a costly mistake. Make choices based on knowledge and facts, not hearsay and fear of missing out. Love should be a priority.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Speak up and let everyone know what you think and how you feel.

Someone will try to take advantage of your kindness and enthusiasm if you’re not careful. Protect your heart and your money.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Join a group that will help you reach your personal goals. Starting a diet or a new exercise routine will get you back on track and boost your confidence.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A fast-paced approach to whatever you do will attract interest. Develop your ideas and share your thoughts. A partnership with someone who is pursuing a similar dream will help you excel.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Staying in the background may be difficult. Someone will try to flesh out your ideas. Focus on what you can offer physically, rather than mentally, and you will avoid an unsettling situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Enjoy your home today. Entertain friends and new acquaintances, and share what you have to offer. Your hospitality will result in an interesting proposal that could lead to good fortune.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Partnerships should take top priority. Offer something special, or make a move on someone you want to get to know better. An unusual discovery will result in a moneymaking idea.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your willingness to make the changes that are necessary to keep your personal relationships running smoothly will not go unnoticed. An unusual offering will lead to certainty and security.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Participate in community events or activities that will allow you to be indulgent with friends, family or someone you love.

Don’t let an impulsive move quash your good time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be careful how you handle domestic situations. Invest your time and money wisely. Home improvements, a move or altering the way you live will result in greater happiness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Keep your emotions well- hidden. Consider what you can do to help a greater cause. A unique approach to the way you live will make you feel more at ease.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Let your competitive side take over. Play a game of chance or make a personal change that will inspire you to follow your dreams.

Conservation district opens skate ski trail McHenry County Conservation District has added a skate ski trail at Silver Creek Conservation Area, 1200 block of Rawson Bridge Road.

Skate skiing is a more intense and faster technique than that of traditional cross-country skiing. The skier mimics the movement

of ice skaters, propelling himself forward by pushing off poles and skis diagonally outward, rather than using a long glide.

The trail at Silver Creek is a 1½-mile, relatively flat loop.
