Electricity rates falling after aggregation

75 CENTS

More bitter cold on the way to area

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com Remember that cold spell a few weeks ago? The one that froze your cheeks and feet and you felt clear to your bones?

If you don’t remember, Mother Nature is forecast to send you a reminder in the next few days.

While today’s forecast is in the twenties, the mercury is forecast to again plummet. It will dip below zero tonight, with the wind chill making it feel like minus 20, and Tuesday’s high will only reach about 7 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

The average high will stay in the single digits or low teens through at least Friday, when the situation may slightly improve and reach the low twenties, according to forecasters.

ComEd linemen work on a project Friday on Maple Avenue in McHenry. ComEd is available to assist cities with providing them customer information they need to complete the next round of aggregation programs.

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com Since municipal aggregation programs started receiving voter approval in 2010, electricity prices have been coming down.

Municipalities with the programs have been able to save their residents money and in June of last year, ComEd was able to bring down its electricity rates.

So far 11 communities in McHenry County have passed municipal aggregation referendums.

With the motivation of having a chance to save money on electric bills, Algonquin has placed on the March ballot a referendum to start it’s own municipal electrical aggregation program.

In 2012 the village had a municipal aggregation referendum fail by nine votes.

In communities where energy aggregation programs are in place, residents are billed for electricity through ComEd and use ComEd-owned grids, but the electricity flowing into each home and small business could come from a different source. ComEd maintains the infrastructure and responds to calls during power outages.

David Hoover is the executive director of the Northern Illinois Municipal Electric Collaborative, which

Source: Pluginillinois.org has helped manage about 100 municipal aggregations in the state.

ComEd doesn’t generate electricity. All it does is maintain wires to transmit power, Hoover said.

In 2007, the Illinois Power Agency entered into long-term contracts with energy suppliers with the intention of providing price stability for ComEd customers.

In 2008, the recession started and the rates the agency secured were higher than the market rate for electricity, Hoover said.

“If you bought power from someone else, you would have been able to beat that rate,” Hoover said.

When municipal aggregation programs began, people started to see 30 percent to 40 percent savings, Hoover said.

However, those supply contracts for ComEd finally came to an end in May of last year and the Illinois Power Agency was able to buy electricity at the prevailing market rate.

“In 2007-2008, if rates had gone up, we would be applauding the IPA,” Hoover said.

Electricity rates, however, are expected to increase in June, Hoover said. Rates that would be in place for a year, will be released in May. The Illinois Power Agency also is reserving the right to revisit those rates in September.

Overall, municipal aggregation has been a success, Hoover said.

“Municipal aggregation has been a homerun; it’s been spectacular,” Hoover said. “Those [savings] are real dollars that the residents would have paid to ComEd.” In Cary, the village has seen significant savings from its municipal electrical aggregation program, said Village Administrator Chris Clark.

Cary started its program in November 2012. Through September of 2013, village residents and small businesses have seen an aggregate

Woman killed in Taliban attack ‘fearless’ Chicagoan ‘sought a better world’ The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Friends and family of a Chicago woman killed in Kabul, Afghanistan, said the 27-year-old was committed to helping others despite potential dangers, telling friends it was “something she was meant to do.”

Lexie Kamerman was among 21 people killed Friday in a Taliban suicide bomb and gun attack at a Kabul restaurant popular with foreigners.

Lexie Kamerman was working as a student development specialist at American University in Kabul when she was killed.

She had worked since June as a student development specialist at the American University of Afghanistan, where her family said she was helping women “get an education and take their rightful place as leaders in Afghan society.”

The Chicago Sun-Times reported Kamerman graduated from the Latin School of Chicago and Knox College in

Galesburg.

“When she told us that this is what she was doing, we were all definitely concerned about her safety,” friend Carmen Knight, 28, of Milwaukee told the newspaper. “She knew this had to be done and that she could do it. She kept reassuring us it was something she was meant to do.”

In a statement, Kamerman’s family described her as “an amazing young woman – smart, strong, beautiful, funny, stubborn and kind. And fearless.”

The statement continued: “Her death is a shock to us all and we can’t imagine a moment going forward when she

Budget, election to drive agenda for Ill. lawmakers

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Compared with last year’s session, when Illinois lawmakers tackled major issues ranging from pensions to gay marriage to concealed carry, the legislative work that begins later this month likely will be less ambitious but more politically driven because of looming elections.

Tax questions are e x p e c t e d t o Gov. Pat dominate the Quinn agenda, including what to do about the pending expiration of the temporary income tax, corporate tax incentives, Chicago pension reform and the possibility of a capital construction bill that could boost Gov. Pat Quinn’s re-election bid.

“It’s going to be popular-vote issues,” House Republican Leader Jim Durkin said. “The financial issues of the state are final-

ly taking root.”

Control of the governor’s mansion is on the line in the upcoming election, as well as the Democrats’ veto-proof margins in the House and Senate.

Republicans are aiming to convince voters that they would be better stewards of public funds if put in charge. Democrats, in turn, will portray the GOP as hurting the most vulnerable Illinoisans with aggressive cuts.

LawmakIll. Rep. Jim ers return to Durkin Springfield on Jan. 28, one day ahead of Quinn’s State of the State speech. Among the things they’re expected to discuss immediately is what to do about the scheduled rollback of the state’s temporary income tax increase from 5 percent to 3.75 percent next January – halfway through the upcoming fiscal year.

Friend Sherrille Lamb told the Sun-Times that Kamerman had just been back to Chicago to visit her family over the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.

Lamb and Kamerman became friends when they worked together at Elon College in North Carolina, where Kamerman was an assistant director of residence life during the 2012-13 academic year. Kamerman also had done volunteer work in Africa, served in a soup kitchen and an animal shelter and volunteered in New Orleans

If there’s good news in all of this, it’s that you likely won’t have to go outside and shovel one heck of a lot. The forecast calls for a few flurries today, and a 20 percent chance of snow Wednesday and Thursday.

Two days of bitter cold temperatures Jan. 6 and 7 that shuttered schools and made travel dangerous, but meant an economic boon for auto shops and furnace repairmen, marked the coldest temperatures in the Chicago area in more than 20 years.

The coldest temperature in the metro area, minus 20 degrees not including the wind chill, was recorded in the City of McHenry. Local temperatures averaged between minus 35 and minus 45 with the wind chill.

The cold snaps are part of a very snowy winter that has strained local governments’ supplies of road salt.

8WATER COOLER 4 kittens pull ‘break-in’ at upstate N.Y. prison FORT ANN, N.Y. – A litter of kittens has found a cozy home in the least cozy of places – a maximum-security prison in upstate New York. The PostStar of Glens Falls reported four kittens found their way into the basement of the Great Meadow Correctional Facility in Fort Ann a few months ago.

The family of feral felines has been cared for by inmates and prison staff. Prison officials said they’re hoping to find the kittens homes among the staff.

Manual transmission stymies car thieves SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – A trio of would-be car thieves had to hit the brakes on their plan because none of them knew how to drive a stick.

John Delaney told The Republican newspaper the thieves argued among themselves then ran down the street with their ill-gotten dinner. The driver was not seriously hurt. There have been no arrests.

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question

On this day (Jan. 20) in 1961, 43-yearold World War II naval hero, and second son of wealthy, controversial Boston Irish financier and former ”isolationist” ambassador to England, Joseph P. Kennedy, was sworn in as the 35th president of the U.S. It was a bitterly cold, but sunny day in Washington, D.C., as the youngest man and first Catholic to be elected president (Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest man to serve as president.) took the oath of office from Chief Justice Earl Warren.

On this historic day, John (Jack) Fitzgerald Kennedy delivered an inaugural address that compares favorably – as to content, eloquence and delivery – with those of Thomas Jefferson (1801), Abraham Lincoln (1861) and Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933).

Kennedy reminded his listeners that his election as president was the time when “the torch” of presidential leadership passed to “a new generation of Americans.” He confidently said, “I do not shrink from this responsibility” (i.e., of leadership). “I welcome it.”

He asked fellow Americans to join him to “explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce.” Kennedy’s now famous inaugural address was a clarion call to his fellow Americans to join him in what he termed the New Frontier, which was his version of a reform movement similar, in broad terms, to Roosevelt’s New Deal, to Harry S. Truman’s Fair Deal, and to Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society.

Kennedy’s term as president was that it was too brief and ended too suddenly and too violently for this intelligent, ambitious, witty, and handsome young chief executive to achieve the greatness, fame, and eminence that his inaugural address seemed to promise, or at least to foretell.

Famously Kennedy, toward the end of his inaugural address, appealed to his fellow Americans to “ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” And then “to fellow citizens of the world; ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.”

The brevity and abrupt conclusion of JFK’s 1,037-day presidency has prompted many Americans to characterize his presidential term as one of unfulfilled promise. An impartial evaluation of Kennedy’s presidency discloses that there were a few notable achievements.

For example, the 1961 creation of the Peace Corps, his adept handling of the1962 Cuban missile crisis, the creation of The Alliance for Progress, and his embracing Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream, but only after the Aug. 28, 1963, Civil Rights March on Washington, of equal rights for all Americans, whatever their race, economic and social status.

However, there also were several notable and memorable failures: The

8CONTACT US

1961 Bay of Pigs fiasco, and his failure to deal effectively with the growing crisis in Vietnam.

Although his actual achievements in the Oval Office were somewhat limited, the promise of his presidency, as delineated in his inaugural address, seemed almost unlimited. Warren’s eulogy seemed to have captured the sentiments of many Americans when he declared: “John Fitzgerald Kennedy was a great and good president, the friend of all people of good will; a believer in the dignity and equality of all human beings; a fighter for justice; and apostle of peace.”

Minnesota Democratic Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey added, presciently, that in his inaugural speech, JFK was “perhaps, a step or two ahead of the people.”

Even before his 1961 inauguration, conservative Arizona Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater loudly proclaimed that “I sincerely fear for my country if Jack Kennedy should be elected president.

The fellow has absolutely no principles.

Money and gall are all the Kennedys have.”

Even after his tragic assassination, Kennedy still had numerous critics, who included, surprisingly, former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who after meeting with his successor, claimed that Kennedy had “an inadequate understanding of our American” political system.

Streets named for MLK still struggling nearly 30 years later

Pat Wirtz McHENRY – The room is full of books, World War II histories, children’s books from the period, and collections of political and war-themed cartoons.

Models of tanks and planes are organized by country.

Norman Rockwell prints are framed next to a map of Utah Beach, the code name for the one of the landing areas during the D-Day invasion.

The room has been coined “the museum downstairs” by Pat Wirtz’s friend. Wirtz just refers to it, in particular the room next to it – filled with stacks and stacks of newspapers and magazines – as “the firetrap.”

The collection started when Wirtz was exploring his grandparents’ basement as a kid and found a mouse-bitten issue of Life magazine from 1942. Since then he has collected every single issue of the weekly from 1939 to 1945, minus one.

A former special education teacher with McHenry High School in District 156, Wirtz helped found the McHenry High School Athletic Hall of Fame, is chairman of the city Landmark Commission and a board member for the McHenry Area Historical Society.

Wirtz sat down with reporter Emily Coleman to talk about his collection and volunteer work.

Coleman: Do you have a favorite item?

Wirtz: I think downstairs, the favorite item that I have is probably the World War II map from Utah Beach that was on the boat that my dad was on the morning of D-Day, June 6, ’44. That’s really personal and really sentimental to me.

Coleman: Did he talk about it?

Wirtz: He talked about a few things. He talked about [how] it was almost 24/7 job.

One [story I remember him telling] was D-Day or D-Day plus one – to speak in the military way of talking – a plane came in low. Somebody on board one of the boats started firing the anti-aircraft guns and then everybody opened up on him.

It was an American plane, and they shot it down. He said he remembered seeing the pilot to parachute to safety and everyone was relieved.

The admiral in charge of Utah Beach gave strict orders not fire unless under direct attack.

He would talk to other soldiers and sailors, but he didn’t talk to us much about his experiences. I think like many soldiers of that time period, it was a very personal thing. If you were at VFW or American Legion, you would talk to somebody because you knew he had a similar experience.

Coleman: Why do you think you’ve gravitated toward World War II? Wirtz: Probably because my dad was in that war was the

Well, when I was like third or fourth grade, the first two books I read were Babe Ruth’s story and the Jackie Robinson story, but then after that, it was all World War II stuff.

The first book I ever checked out of the library in McHenry was “Willie and Joe” by Bill Mauldin, the cartoon World War II guys that slogged across Europe fighting the war. He brought to light in a fun kind of way what the U.S. soldier had to undergo. It was a way that people could relate.

Coleman: It seems like a lot of your collection is visual art, postcards, cartoons and visual histories.

Wirtz: About seven or eight years ago, my daughter gave me a camera for my birthday, and I started taking pictures.

I’m the photographer for the historical society, so I take pictures when people come and talk and for our [public relations] stuff. I’ve taken pictures of the [Peterson] Farm.

I like to walk, even on a day like today. I don’t mind the cold so much unless the wind is really blowing. I’ll take pictures. I’ve taken hundreds and hundreds of pictures of the Riverwalk, and I always donate them. ... They blew them up to 5-by-4-foot pictures and they use them for Riverwalk kind of things. Then the city used two of my Riverwalk pictures. They’re up at City Hall, on either side of the Christmas tree. As you walk out, after you pay your bills there, you can see them.

Coleman: What’s the thing you’re most proud of?

Wirtz: I’m the chairman of the McHenry High School Athletic Hall of Fame. That’s very important because that’s something I helped to create. I didn’t just join it.

Coleman: Why is that important? Why do you think it’s important to have the Hall of Fame?

Wirtz: First of all, I was a

around Easter time. It was a special funded program to find dropout-prone kids jobs. It was called the WECEP program, Work Experience and Career Exploration Program. I just went, “It’s a full-time job. I’ll take it.” They gave me 25 kids, and I had to find jobs for them.

And these kids, oh my God, they were involved in stuff like you couldn’t imagine.

I had to go meet them and their parents at their homes.

Now, I’ve lived in McHenry all my life, and some of the homes I went to ... There was one that had dirt floors out in Lakemoor.

There were houses that were half this size. There was one in Wonder Lake. It was so small I couldn’t believe it. The father was there, his girlfriend was there, the older brother was there, his unmarried girlfriend was there with a baby and the boy.

They were all living out there in this little dinky place. It was like, “Where do you all sleep?” I couldn’t figure it out.

There was one bedroom, one kitchen, one living room and a bathroom. That was it.

coach. I announced football, basketball and baseball games.

Just a few years ago, I did three years of baseball games.

I was really involved in that. I went to Marian [Central Catholic High School]. I didn’t go to school here, but I’ve lived in McHenry for 65 years now.

To me, it just made sense.

We need a hall of fame, and I wanted to recognize people.

We have some very, very interesting fellows and women who were not only wonderful athletes but they did stuff with their lives.

Coleman: How did you end up deciding to be a teacher?

Wirtz: I was going to major in business, which I didn’t like. Then I went to math because I was always OK in math. I got as far as calculus, and I went, “Oh man, I do not like calculus.” I said, “Wait a second. What do I like? I like history.”

The fellow that I had teaching us history at Elgin [Community College] ... he was into decoding messages and all that kind of stuff [during World War II]. He was a character. I think he was color blind or something because he would wear different socks, mismatching socks almost every day to class.

But he had the most wonderful stories that he would tell. He was a wonderful story-

A walk down the 6-mile city street named for the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. yields plenty of images that would surely unsettle the civil rights leader: shuttered storefronts, open-air drug markets and a glut of pawn shops, quickie check-cashing providers and liquor stores.

The urban decay along Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in St. Louis can be found in other major American cities, from Houston and Milwaukee to the nation’s capital.

“It’s a national problem,” said Melvin White, a 46-year-old postal worker in St. Louis and founder Melvin White of a 3-year-old nonprofit group that is trying to restore King’s legacy on asphalt. “Dr. King would be turning over in his grave.”

Journalist Jonathan Tilove, who wrote a 2003 book based on visits to 650 King streets nationwide, called the King byways “black America’s Main Street.”

“Map them and you map a nation within a nation, a place where white America seldom goes and black America can be itself,” he wrote.

“It is a parallel universe with a different center of gravity and distinctive sensibilities.”

But while streets named for King undoubtedly resonate widely in the black community, a University of Tennessee geography professor whose research explores the cultural and political significance of such streets said the compromised condition of streets named for King in St. Louis and other cities deserves broader attention.

“In some ways we racially profile these streets,” said

Derek Alderman, author of a 2007 study that found a smaller disparity among MLK-named streets and other “main streets” than is popularly portrayed. “We need to move beyond those images and see what concrete lives and realities are living on those streets.”

More than 50 years after King led his march on Washington, communities large and small still debate whether to rename local streets in his honor. In Harrisonburg, Va., city leaders recently agreed to rename a street for King over protests by some residents.

Other cities have had more success in balancing the desire to commemorate King without superseding local tradition. Alderman singled out Chapel Hill, N.C., which in 2005 renamed a major thoroughfare that abuts the University of North Carolina campus. Street signs that identify Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard also include the name “Historic Airport Road.”

Chicago’s Martin Luther King Drive, a major thoroughfare spanning roughly a dozen miles south of downtown, is anchored by important hubs of black life in the city. The street features grassy boulevards with stately greystones, while other segments touch rougher patches that have fallen into disrepair, including a dilapidated motel that drew community protests over crime.

Gentrification is taking hold along some parts.

The major landmarks include Bronzeville, the neighborhood where numerous black activists lived or worked and tourism officials have marked with plaques.

There’s also Chicago State University, where Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks taught.

The Associated Press TRENTON, N.J. – The Democratic mayor of a town severely flooded by Superstorm Sandy said Sunday that she was told an ultimatum tying recovery funds to her support for a prime real estate project came directly from Republican Gov. Chris Christie, a claim a Christie spokesman called “categorically false.”

Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer told CNN’s “State of the Union with Candy Crowley” that the message pushing a Rockefeller Group commercial development was delivered by Christie’s lieutenant governor, Kim Guadagno, when the two were at an event in Hoboken in May to celebrate the opening of a new supermarket.

“The lieutenant governor pulled me aside and said, essentially, ‘You’ve got to move forward with the Rockefeller project. This project is really important to the governor.’ And she said that she had been with him on Friday night and that this was a direct message from the governor,” Zimmer recalled Guadagno saying.

Christie spokesman Colin Reed issued a statement Sunday saying, “Mayor Zimmer’s categorization about her conversation in Hoboken is categorically false.”

On Saturday, Zimmer said Guadagno and a top community development official separately told her that recovery funds would flow to her city if she expedited the project.

Hoboken, a low-lying city of 50,000 across from Manhattan, was nearly swallowed by the Hudson River during Sandy, with three of its electrical substations and most of its firehouses flooded, businesses and homes submerged, the train station

Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer speaks to media Aug. 8, 2009, as she stands near the Hudson River in Hoboken, N.J. Zimmer, mayor of a New Jersey city that suffered severe flooding from Superstorm Sandy, claims the Christie administration withheld millions of dollars in recovery grants because she refused to sign off on a politically connected development. inundated with water, and people trapped in high-rises because elevators didn’t work and lobbies were underwater. Zimmer has proposed a comprehensive flood mitigation plan and has applied for $100 million in grants to help make it happen.

Zimmer said she didn’t reveal the conversation with Guadagno until now because she feared no one would believe her. But, with Hoboken having received just $342,000 out of $1.8 billion in Sandy recovery aid from the state in the first funding round, she said, she is speaking out in hopes her city won’t be shut out in a second funding wave, when the state is due to disperse $1.4 billion.

Hoboken has also received millions in federal aid.

Christie, meanwhile, is embroiled in another scan-

dal that threatens to undercut his second term and future presidential ambitions.

The U.S. attorney’s office and a state legislative panel are investigating allegations that Christie aides engineered traffic jams in Fort Lee by closing lanes to the George Washington Bridge, possibly as payback against the town’s Democratic mayor, who didn’t endorse Christie for re-election.

Democratic Assemblyman John Wisniewski, the legislator leading the state investigation, told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday that his committee would look into Zimmer’s political payback allegation as well.

“I think we have to give the allegations serious thought,” he said, “because this is a pattern we’ve heard time and time again throughout New Jersey.”

RICHMOND, Va. – Almost overnight, Virginia has emerged as a critical state in the nationwide fight to grant gay men and women the right to wed.

This purple state was once perceived as unfriendly and even bordering on hostile to gay rights. That’s changed after a seismic political shift in the top three elected offices, from conservative Republicans to liberal Democrats who support gay marriage.

Two federal lawsuits challenging the state’s constitutional ban on gay marriage are moving forward, and a hearing on one of the cases is scheduled for Jan. 30.

With the recent court gains in Utah and Oklahoma, gay rights advocates are heartened by the new mood in Virginia.

Symbolically as well, they say, the challenges of the state’s gay marriage ban resonate because of the founding state’s history of erecting a wall between church and state and a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision involving a Virginia couple and a past taboo: interracial marriage.

The separate lawsuits intended to topple the constitutional ban on gay marriage have been filed in federal courts, which are typically speedy in Virginia. The issue could ultimately be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

One lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Harrisonburg, involves two couples from the Shenandoah Valley who claim the state’s ban on gay marriage violates the Constitution’s equal protection and due process clauses. The American Civil Liberties Union and Lambda Legal are representing the plaintiffs.

Some skeptical about NSA changes Dingy LaGuardia Lawmakers: Surveillance idea won’t work

By LIBBY QUAID The Associated Press WASHINGTON – A chief element of President Barack Obama’s attempt to overhaul U.S. surveillance will not work, leaders of Congress’ intelligence committees said Sunday, pushing back against the idea that the government should cede control of how Americans’ phone records are stored.

Obama, under pressure to calm the controversy over government spying, said Friday he wants bulk phone data stored outside the government to reduce the risk that the records will be abused. The president said he will require a special judge’s advance approval before intelligence

agencies can examine someone’s data and will force analysts to keep their searches closer to suspected terrorists or organizations.

“And I think that’s a very difficult thing,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Sunday.

“Because the whole purpose of this program is to provide instantaneous information to be able to disrupt President any plot that Barack may be taking Obama place.”

Under the surveillance program, the NSA gathers phone numbers called and the length of conversations, but not the content. Obama said the NSA sometimes needs to tap those records to find people linked to suspected terrorists. But he said eventually the bulk data should be stored somewhere out of the government’s hands.

That could mean finding a way

for phone companies to store the records, though some companies have balked at the idea, or it could mean creating a third-party entity to hold the records.

Feinstein, D-Calif., said many Americans don’t understand that threats persist a dozen years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. “New bombs are being devised. New terrorists are emerging, new groups. Actually, a new level of viciousness. And I think we need to be prepared,” Feinstein said.

Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said Obama had intensified a sense of uncertainty about the country’s ability to root out terrorist threats.

Obama didn’t say who should have control of Americans’ data; he directed the attorney general and director of national intelligence to find a solution within 60 days.

“We really did need a decision on Friday, and what we got was lots of uncertainty,” Rogers, R-Mich., said. “And

just in my conversations over the weekend with intelligence officials, this new level of uncertainty is already having a bit of an impact on our ability to protect Americans by finding terrorists who are trying to reach into the United States.”

The lawmakers did praise the president for his defense of the National Security Agency’s surveillance programs.

“First, I thought it was very important that the president laid out no abuses, this was not an illegal program, it wasn’t a rogue agency,” Rogers said.

The surveillance programs have been under fire since former National Security Agency analyst Edward Snowden absconded with an estimated 1.7 million documents related to surveillance and other NSA operations, giving the documents to journalists around the world. Revelations in the documents sparked a furor over whether Americans have been giving up privacy protections in exchange for intelligence-gathering on terrorism.

Post office outlets spark union’s ire

By SAM HANANEL The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The opening of Postal Service retail centers in dozens of Staples stores around the country is being met with threats of protests and boycotts by the agency’s unions.

The new outlets are staffed

by Staples employees, not postal workers, and labor officials say that move replaces good-paying union jobs with low-wage, nonunion workers.

“It’s a direct assault on our jobs and on public postal services,” said Mark Dimondstein, president of the 200,000-member American Postal Workers Union.

The dispute comes as the financially struggling Postal Service continues to form part-

nerships with private companies, and looks to cut costs and boost revenues. The deal with Staples began as a pilot program in November at 84 stores in California, Georgia, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania as a way make it easier for cus- Mark tomers to buy Dimondstein stamps, send president of packages or use the American P r i o r i t y a n d Postal Workcertified mail. ers Union Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said the program has nothing to do with privatization and everything to do with customer service and driving up demand for the agency’s products.

“The privatization discus-

sion is a ruse,” Donahoe said in an interview. “We have no interest in privatizing the Postal Service. We are looking to grow our business to provide customer convenience to postal products.”

S t a p l e s spokeswoman Patrick Carrie McElDonahoe wee referred Postmaster general of the questions about United States union concerns to the Postal Service. She said the company “continually tests new products and services to better meet the needs of our customers.”

Union leaders fear that if the Staples program is successful, the Postal Service will

live well,

want to expand it to more than 1,500 of the company’s other stores. That could siphon work and customers away from nearby brick-and-mortar post offices, taking jobs from postal workers and even leading traditional post offices to close.

Union leaders have been visiting Staples stores to meet with managers, asking them to share the union’s displeasure with upper management.

Dimondstein asked to meet with the Staples CEO Ronald Sargent, who has declined.

The union plans to hold “sustained” protests this month at Staples stores in the San Francisco and San Jose, Calif., area that would be expanded elsewhere. Union officials also are considering how they can exert pressure on Staples shareholders.

Airport undergoing $3.6B makeover

By FRANK ELTMAN The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Dark, dingy, cramped and sad. These are some of the ways travelers describe LaGuardia Airport, a bustling hub often ranked in customer satisfaction surveys as the worst in America.

“It does not represent what people think of when they think of New York and Broadway shows and glamour. It’s not very pretty,” said Layla House, a sales manager for a medical supply company who travels from her home in Bullard, Texas, to New York at least six times a year.

That’s about to change.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently announced the state is taking control of an ambitious $3.6 billion construction project that envisions an entirely new central terminal at LaGuardia, with vast open spaces, restaurants, shopping plazas, new parking garages, free Wi-Fi and other amenities now common in other airports.

Cuomo also wants to devel-

op a plan to upgrade cargo operations at nearby John F. Kennedy International Airport.

“We are going to redevelop those airports the way they should have been redeveloped many, many years ago,” Cuomo said in his annual State of the State address.

Cuomo, who is running for re-election and has been mentioned as a possible Democratic presidential candidate in 2016, said he had become frustrated that talk of such renovations has been going on since the 1990s with little progress.

He wants to jump-start construction just as he has done with a $3.9 billion project to replace the Tappan Zee Bridge, north of New York City, which also had been stalled for years.

LaGuardia, along the Flushing and Bowery bays in northern Queens, is the closest of the New York area’s three major air hubs to midtown Manhattan, just 8 miles, and it handled a record 27 million passengers last year.

Safety concerns ahead of Olympics

Iran nuke deal set to start

U.S. lawmakers urge cooperation

The ASSOCIATED PRESS TEHRAN, Iran – Ahead of the start of a nuclear deal between Iran and world powers, an official in the Islamic Republic called limiting uranium enrichment and diluting its stockpile the country’s “most important commitments,” state radio reported Sunday.

The comments by Behrouz Kamalvandi, a spokesman of Iran’s atomic department, show how the government of moderate President Hassan Rouhani welcomes the deal, which begins Monday. International inspectors also already have arrived in Tehran, preparing for the government opening its facilities to them.

“Implementation of mutual commitments in the framework of the Geneva deal will begin from tomorrow,” Kamalvandi said. “Under the agreement, suspension of 20-percent enrichment of uranium – and the diluting of the current stockpile of enriched uranium – are the most important commitments of our country.”

Iran struck the deal in November with the so-called P5+1 countries – Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States.

Under the agreement, Iran will limit its uranium enrichment to 5 percent – the grade commonly used to power reactors. The deal also commits Iran to stop producing 20 percent enriched uranium – which is only a technical step away from weapons-grade material – and to neutralize its 20 percent stockpile over the six months.

A protester throws a stone toward a burning police bus in front of him Sunday during clashes with police in central Kiev, Ukraine. Hundreds of protesters clashed with riot police in the center of the Ukrainian capital, after the passage of harsh anti-protest legislation last week seen as part of attempts to quash anti-government demonstrations.

Ukraine protests turn fiery Crisis escalates as thousands defy protest ban

By MARIA DANILOVA The Associated Press KIEV, Ukraine – Anti-government protests in Ukraine’s capital escalated into fiery street battles with police Sunday as thousands of demonstrators hurled rocks and firebombs to set police vehicles ablaze. Dozens of officers and protesters were injured.

Police responded with stun grenades, tear gas and water cannons, but were outnumbered by the protesters. Many of the riot police held their shields over their

heads to protect themselves from the projectiles thrown by demonstrators on the other side of a cordon of buses.

The violence was a sharp escalation of Ukraine’s twomonth political crisis, which has brought round-the-clock protest gatherings, but had been largely peaceful.

Opposition leader Vitali Klitschko tried to persuade demonstrators to stop their unrest, but failed and was sprayed by a fire extinguisher in the process. Klitschko later traveled to President Viktor Yanukovych’s suburban residence and said the president has agreed to negotiate.

“There are only two ways for events to develop. The first one is not to negotiate,” Klitschko was quoted as saying by the Interfax news

agency. “A scenario of force can be unpredictable and I don’t rule out the possibility of a civil war. ... And here we are using all possibilities in order to prevent bloodshed.”

Yanukovych said later on his Web site that he has tasked a working group, headed by national security council head Andriy Klyuev, to meet with opposition representatives to work out a solution to the crisis. However, it was unclear if either side was prepared for real compromise; throughout the crisis, the opposition has insisted on the government’s resignation and calling early presidential elections.

The White House blamed the increased tensions on Ukraine’s government for failing to acknowledge its people’s legitimate grievanc-

es and threatened sanctions if the use of violence continues.

National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said Ukraine’s government “has moved to weaken the foundations of Ukraine’s democracy by criminalizing peaceful protest and stripping civil society and political opponents of key democratic protections under the law.”

She called on Ukraine to repeal recent laws limiting protests, remove riot police from downtown Kiev and start talking to the opposition.

“The U.S. will continue to consider additional steps – including sanctions – in response to the use of violence,” Hayden said in a statement.

WASHINGTON – Members of Congress expressed serious concerns Sunday about the safety of Americans at next month’s Olympics in Russia and said Moscow needs to cooperate more on security.

Suicide bombings last month in the southern Russian city of Volgograd, about 400 miles from where the Sochi Games will be held, have contributed to the safety anxiety.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has promised that his country will do all it can to ensure a safe Olympics without imposing security measures that are too intrusive.

The State Department has advised Americans who plan to attend the Olympics, which run Feb. 7 to 23, that they should keep vigilant about security because of potential terrorist threats.

“We don’t seem to be getting all of the information we need to protect our athletes in the games,” said Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. “I think this needs to change, and it should change soon.”

But FBI Director James Comey said earlier in January that the Russian government “understands the threat and is devoting the resources to address it.”

Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said from Moscow that he planned to be in Sochi on Monday to assess the security situation.

Afghan president again demands an end to U.S. military airstrikes The ASSOCIATED PRESS KABUL, Afghanistan – Afghanistan’s president demanded Sunday that the United States no longer carry out military operations or airstrikes and must jump-start peace talks with the Taliban before his country signs a security deal to keep U.S. troops in Afghanistan after 2014.

President Hamid Karzai’s deepening anti-American rhetoric comes as the Taliban intensifies its assaults ahead of the planned withdrawal and after Friday’s militant raid on a popular Kabul restaurant, the deadliest single attack against foreign civilians in the course of the nearly 13-year U.S.-led war.

Although Karzai has made similar demands in the past, he has in recent weeks ratcheted up his condemnations of alleged U.S. failures as Afghans look fearfully ahead to an uncertain future.

Karzai made the statement after being presented with the findings of an investigation into a joint Afghan-U.S. military operation last week that resulted in civilian casualties which he blamed on a U.S. military air strike.

The U.S.-led international military coalition, however, provided a sharply different account Sunday of what happened during the two-day operation against insurgents in eastern Parwan province, saying it was an Afghan-led effort

and carried out at the request of the government.

Karzai convened his National Security Council on Sunday to discuss the attack.

“Airstrikes are a matter of concern for the Afghan people. The National Security Council said there should be an immediate end to all operations and airstrikes by foreign forces,” a statement said.

Karzai sent a delegation to investigate the Jan. 15 airstrike in the Ghorband district of Parwan province, which borders Kabul. The delegation blamed the U.S. for ordering an operation it said killed 12 civilians and four Taliban fighters. It further said local authorities were not informed about the operation.

Taliban bombing kills 20 troops in Pakistan The ASSOCIATED PRESS BANNU, Pakistan – A Taliban bombing inside an army compound in northwest Pakistan killed at least 20 troops Sunday, officials and militants said, in one of the deadliest attacks to target the country’s forces as they battle insurgents in its volatile frontier.

The blast targeted a vehicle in a convoy about to leave a military base in the town of Bannu and drive west to the North Waziristan tribal area, police official Inyat Ali Khan said. Pakistan’s military said the blast wounded 30 troops.

The Taliban claimed the attack and called it a suicide

bombing. Military officials said the blast came from an explosive planted in the vehicle, hired by the paramilitary Frontier Corps. While the army has its own transport vehicles, the paramilitary forces often hire vehicles when they need to move troops in large numbers.

A spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban told The Associated Press by telephone that the attack had been carried out to avenge the death of Waliur Rehman, the group’s former second in command. He was killed last year in a U.S. drone strike.

“We will avenge the killing of every one of our fellows

through such attacks,” the spokesman warned.

The explosion was heard and felt across the town of Bannu.

“I rushed out of my home and saw black, thick smoke billowing out of the cantonment’s Razmak gate area,” resident Sajjad Khan said. He said troops quickly cordoned off the area and ordered residents to go back inside their homes.

North Waziristan is considered a safe haven for al-Qaida-linked militants. Pakistani troop convoys often are hit by roadside bombs, but blasts inside military compounds are rare.

In December, a suicide

bomber killed four Pakistani soldiers when he rammed an explosive-laden car into a checkpoint outside an army camp in North Waziristan.

Thirty Pakistani troops died over a four-day period in April in another part of the northwest called the Tirah Valley as part of an operation to oust militants hiding there.

The Pakistani military has been fighting for years in the tribal areas against militants who want to overthrow the government and establish a hard-line Islamic state. The tribal region is also a refuge for insurgents fighting NATO and U.S. forces in neighboring Afghanistan.

8WORLD BRIEF Gunmen attack convoy in Central African Republic BANGUI, Central African Republic – Attackers armed with machetes and clubs ambushed a convoy of Muslims fleeing sectarian violence in Central African Republic, killing 22 people, an aid group said Sunday as the country in a state of bloody anarchy awaits a new interim president.

More than 1,000 people have been killed since violence exploded a month ago, and nearly 1 million people have fled their homes. The rebel leader-turned-president stepped down about a week ago amid mounting criticism of his inability to stem bloodshed some warn could explode into genocide.

On Monday, members of the

National Transitional Council are to select a new interim president tasked with leading the country toward democratic elections before the end of 2014. The field, though, was visibly narrowed by the requirement that candidates could not have taken part in a rebellion or armed group over the last 20 years.

ANALYSIS

Egypt vote casts doubts on quest for Democracy

By HAMZA HENDAWI The Associated Press CAIRO – For all the self-congratulatory headlines in Egypt’s pro-military media, the results of last week’s constitutional referendum may have fallen short of the emphatic popular mandate the nation’s military chief was looking for before announcing his presidential run.

Moreover, the outcome – nearly everyone who cast a ballot approved the draft constitution, but turnout was low, at less than 39 percent – has put on display the country’s enduring divisions six months after the ouster of Islamist president Mohammed Morsi and nearly three years after autocrat Hosni Mubarak was overthrown.

Another worrying aspect is that young Egyptians appear to have stayed away from the polls, probably because of frustration over the lack of real change and anger over the perceived return of Mubarak-era figures, along with such hated practices as

police brutality and other heavy-handed tactics by security agencies.

The 98.1 percent “yes” vote cannot be seen as an accurate reflection of public opinion in “a country as big and as complex and divided as Egypt,” said Khaled Fahmy, a political analyst who chairs the history department at the American University in Cairo. “This is a very alarming figure. ... Something has gone very wrong.”

Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, the military chief who led the July 3 coup that removed Morsi, has yet to say outright whether he will seek the land’s highest office. His supporters had viewed the Jan. 14 and 15 referendum on the new constitution as a vote on the general’s possible presidential bid.

The relatively low turnout, however, should be reason for concern for the general and his supporters.

While no one is claiming the vote was rigged or fraudulent, it took place amid a climate of intimidation, with a

de facto ban on campaigning for a “no” vote and a media frenzy that projected a “yes” vote as the only way out of the country’s deadly turmoil and economic and social ills.

Islamists effectively boycotted the two-day vote, honoring a call by Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood to shun the referendum as a sham.

The ultraconservative Salafi party Al-Nour, which sided with el-Sissi against Morsi, also appeared to have failed to rally its supporters for a “yes” vote, reducing the turnout. The party won about 25 percent of the vote in parliamentary elections two years ago.

“Even the most optimistic of el-Sissi’s supporters admit that the turnout was less than ideal,” prominent analyst Nervana Mahmoud wrote in her blog on Sunday.

“Despite aggressive campaigning by state and private media as well as top religious figures and political parties, including the Salafi Al-Nour, the overall turnout failed to reach the desired target of 40 percent or above.”

savings of $916,000 on their electric bills, Clark said.

Clark estimated the savings to be about $1 million townwide by now.

The average savings per household has been $180 through 10 months.

Clark acknowledged that ComEd rates have come down since June, and the margin between Cary’s electricity supply rate and ComEd’s supply rate has narrowed.

“Cary will need to decide the second or third quarter of 2014 of what to do next,” Clark said. “The first contract year has been successful. However, with the margins closing on power supply costs, ComEd versus alternate supply market, ... the village will need to make policy decisions if it wants to be involved.”

In Cary’s contract with First Energy Solutions, the village included a provi-

Caution equipment warns of ComEd linemen working on a project on Maple Avenue in McHenry. sion that if the ComEd rate dropped below the village’s alternate supplier rate, then the supplier would have to match the ComEd rate.

Rick Mack, the village president of Ringwood, said it’s village is on its second one-year contract with rates

still below the ComEd rate.

The first year of the program, village residents saw a 47 percent savings in their electricity bills, Mack said.

“Our experience is it’s been an effective program for residents,” Mack said.

Fox River Grove recently ended its municipal aggregation program after proposed rates for a new contract from alternate suppliers were higher than the supply rate from ComEd. ComEd is not a party to the pricing offers made by the aggregation suppliers, but expects them to make competitive offers compared to the ComEd rates, spokesman David O’Dowd wrote in an email to the Northwest Herald.

O’Dowd added ComEd continues to monitor the market closely so that it is prepared to meet customers’ needs.

“From the beginning, ComEd has supported customer choice,” O’Dowd said.

“We’ve supported it as a matter of principle; that competition serves customers better.”

Michigan woman also killed in Taliban attack • CHICAGOAN Continued from page A1 after Hurricane Katrina.

Lamb said she believed Kamerman felt a responsibility to help others.

RL

shows a wonderful sense of humility and just something that’s going to be so missed in this world.”

Knox College president Teresa Amott said in a statement Sunday that the news of Kamerman’s death was “heartbreaking.”

“Our hearts are with Lexie’s family and all who knew and loved her,” Amott said.

The statement also said Kamerman, who graduated with degrees in anthropolo-

gy and sociology – a single major – and environmental studies, was remembered as a leader on the college’s water polo team and in her sorority, Pi Beta Phi. Calling Kamerman “a global citizen,” Amott added that “in such a short life, she embodied the best values of a Knox education and sought a better world.”

A Michigan woman, Basra Hassan, 59, was also killed in the attack.

Tax issue vital for GOP voting base • LEGISLATURE Continued from page A1 In a report released earlier this month, Quinn’s office of management and budget outlined a three-year projection showing the state’s deficit would grow to $1.9 billion in 2015 and $4.1 billion in 2016 if the increase sunsets as scheduled. The state’s backlog of bills would also grow, from an expected $5.6 billion at the end of this fiscal year in July to $16.2 billion in 2017.

Quinn’s February budget address will serve as the opening salvo of negotiations with lawmakers as he announces his spending priorities for the year.

The Chicago Democrat has not yet said whether he wants to extend the tax increase. Three of the four GOP candidates – Winnetka businessman Bruce Rauner, state Sen. Bill Brady and State Sen. Kirk Dillard – want the hike to lapse. The other, state treasurer Dan Rutherford, has said he could be open to negotiations.

The issue will be vital to the GOP’s voting base in the 2014 general election. Democratic lawmakers are seeking to keep it in place by spelling out doomsday scenarios of draconian cuts to schools and social services should there be a rollback.

Either way, legislative appropriators find themselves in a pickle, as they’ll spend months budgeting before getting any certainty on revenue projections, forcing them to plan for a worst-case scenario.

“I don’t think we should be appropriating money that I’m not sure we’re going to have,” said state Sen. Julie Morrison, a Deerfield Democrat.

Besides debating the temporary income tax extension, lawmakers also are expected to look into the idea of a graduated income tax. Democratic state Sen. Don Harmon has proposed an amendment to the state constitution that would set different income tax rates depending on indi-

“We’re going to be partners with Senate Republicans and gubernatorial candidates. We want to be on the same page with the same message.”

Rep. Jim Durkin House Republican Leader viduals’ incomes – essentially making the wealthy pay more.

Some conservatives have resisted that proposal. The advocacy group Americans for Prosperity is running video spots against Democratic lawmakers in moderate, suburban districts who are seen as vulnerable in their re-election bids. Among the targets is Rep. Marty Moylan of Des Plaines, who says he hasn’t yet made up his mind on the issue.

“We have to get more information,” he said. “I’m getting criticized from both sides for not taking a stance.”

Corporate tax incentives also are expected to come up during the session, as mem- State Rep. b e r s o f b o t h Jack Franks parties figure D-Marengo to talk on the campaign trail about keeping businesses in Illinois.

Lawmakers adjourned for the year in December without granting tax breaks to several large companies that requested them, including Archer Daniels Midland, Univar and Office Max. Democratic Rep. Jack Franks of Marengo is pushing for the state’s main economic development tool, the EDGE program, to be revamped, citing a culture of “insider deals” that’s blunting the state’s economic recovery. Supporters of the breaks argue they are important for keeping and attracting more jobs.

After having dealt with the state’s own pension problems last spring, Democrats intend to take up the pension crises affecting Chicago and other Illinois cities.

Democratic Senate Presi-

dent John Cullerton, who has said Chicago’s pension problem is even worse than the state’s, wants to take up the issue as soon as lawmakers return. Spokeswoman Rikeesha Phelon said Cullerton was “keeping his schedule open” to meet with other legislative leaders this week to discuss a plan. A vote could be especially difficult for Chicago Democrats who rely on support from the Chicago Teachers’ Union.

Although most of the lawmakers won’t face a major challenge until the November general election, the Republican battle for governor figures to be hotly contested leading up to the March 18 State Sen. John Cullerton primary – halfway through D-Chicago the legislative session.

Durkin said among the bills on the table is one to fund a capital construction program, which could help Quinn portray himself as a job creator.

The last construction spending plan was approved

by Quinn in 2009 – a $31 billion infusion creating thousands of jobs and helping rebuild the state’s crumbling infrastructure. It was paid for through higher taxes and a vast expansion of legalized gambling.

Republicans up and down the ticket also will aim to show solidarity in opposing and supporting specific policy, Durkin said.

“We’re going to be partners with Senate Republicans and gubernatorial candidates,” he said. “We want to be on the same page with the same message.”

‘I HAVE A DREAM’ In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we are printing the complete text of his Aug. 28, 1963, speech, delivered from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

I

am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.

But 100 years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.

In a sense we have come to our nation’s capital to cash a check.

When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check which has come back marked “insufficient funds.” But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check – a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism.

Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.

Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God’s children.

Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.

It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro. This sweltering summer of the Negro’s legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.

But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.

We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic

heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone.

And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, “When will you be satisfied?” We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro’s basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote.

No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.

I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow cells.

Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of perse-

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day the

state of Alabama, whose governor’s lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South.

With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

This will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with a new meaning, “My country, ‘tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim’s pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.”

And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.

Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado.

Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California.

But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.

Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi.

From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Milking the farm bill Down on the farm, the latest news is the battle over dairy policy that thwarts passage of a new five-year package of federal subsidies for agriculture – and the nutrition aid for low-income families that is attached to the bill.

The conflict pits the Democraticmajority Senate, which wants to boost dairy farm incomes in part by limiting milk supplies, against the Republican-led House, whose leader, Speaker John A. Boehner of Ohio, calls the Senate approach “Sovietstyle.”

This story of partisan bickering – true enough as far as it goes – does not quite do justice to the wasteful absurdity of the entire dairy-subsidy effort.

Start with the fact that dairy farmers are beseeching Congress now to undo damage that Congress did through past efforts to aid corn farmers – specifically, mandating the addition of vast quantities of cornbased ethanol to the nation’s fuel supply. This forced dairy farmers to compete with ethanol producers for grain to feed their cows. Grain prices have shot up over the past half-decade or so and become more volatile.

With their operating margins shrinking, dairy farmers ran to Capitol Hill – even though the government already had helped them to the tune of $5.3 billion between 1995 and 2012, according to the Environmental

Working Group.

The House and the Senate obliged; each body’s version of the farm bill contains a new “margin insurance” program that pays farmers when the difference between their operating income and their operating costs goes below a certain amount. Unlike previous “safety net” programs, however, this one would cover largescale, high-income producers; farms with more than 1,000 cows would get 36 to 43 percent of the benefits, as opposed to 6 percent under current law, according to the University of Minnesota Food Policy Research Center. How this helps mom-and-pop operations in the long term is not obvious.

The Senate would add a “market stabilization program” to margin insurance. Basically, farmers who participate in the latter would agree to curtail production at times of low margins in return for full benefits.

The goal, of course, is to reduce supply when farmers’ margins are low, drive up prices and help producers at less cost to the government. This is the provision Mr. Boehner decries as Soviet economics – though it might be more accurate to call it a federally sponsored cartel.

Neither bill contains a convincing explanation of why the dairy industry deserves government-guaranteed prosperity.

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

Sherman’s deflected pass, Smith’s INT seal NFC title

Trailing almost from the outset and into the fourth quarter, the Seahawks rallied behind NFL Extra quarterback Russell Wilson and a More coverage of defense that not Sunday’s NFC and only was as good AFC championship as advertised but games, including came up with Hub Arkush’s take all the big plays on the games. when it mattered PAGES B6-7 most to beat the San Francisco 49ers, 23-17, in NFC Championship game Sunday at CenturyLink Field.

Wilson, overcoming a lost fumble on the Seahawks’ first play from scrimmage, threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Jermaine Kearse on a fourth-and-7 play early in the fourth quarter. And the defense made it stand with three takeaways in the final 10:20 – capped by Malcolm Smith’s interception in the end zone with 22 seconds left off a pass intended for Michael Crabtree but tipped by teammate Richard Sherman – to advance to Super Bowl XLVIII on Feb. 2 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

Manning’s brilliance carries Broncos

Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning prepares to pass Sunday in the second half of the AFC Championship game against the New England Patriots in Denver.

DENVER – It was a family moment.

Peyton Manning, wearing his AFC championship shirt, bearhugged younger brother Eli. Seconds later, big brother Cooper was waved over from across the locker room and received his hug and several pats on his behind.

Reporters stared and jockeyed for pictures. Former NFL safety John Lynch made sure to whip out his cellphone for his own snapshot of history.

The first family of football is back in the Super Bowl, thanks to Peyton Manning’s brilliantly efficient performance in the Denver Broncos’ 26-16 victory Sunday against the New England Patriots.

BRONCOS 26, PATRIOTS 16 “You definitely have to take time to savor the moment,” said Manning, who was 32 for 43 for 400 yards, two touchdowns and a 118.4 passer rating. “I know I certainly will, being in my 16th season, going to my third Super Bowl. I know how hard it is get there.”

CHICAGO – When TNT cable network and league executives sat down this summer to study the NBA schedule, their decision seemed like a slam dunk.

After all, in mid-January, Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers would travel north to tip off against Derrick Rose and the Bulls. What a perfect opportunity for a nationally televised game as part of a Martin Luther King Jr. Day doubleheader.

Whoops.

Believers Change of plans.

The Bulls lost Don’t Derrick Rose to plan on an injury and Luol watching Deng to a trade, the Bulls play the but they keep findLakers on ing ways to win.

TNT on PAGE B3 Monday.

Forget about the cool aerial shots of the city’s skyline and the blunt-as-ahammer halftime show, which is the best in sports. The two sub-.500 teams will play on WGN instead.

Because TNT, in conjunction with league officials, recently decided to boot the Bulls and Lakers from their coverage plans. Instead, the network will send a crew to cover the Portland Trail Blazers against the Houston Rockets to open its prime-time doubleheader.

Nobody at TNT was willing to speak on the record about why the change was made, so we’re left to speculate about how the conversation went down.

Here’s a guess.

The phone rings at the Berto Center. It’s late, and the only person still in the building is coach Tom Thibodeau.

He’s studying grainy film of a basketball game in Iceland, hoping to find his next starting two-guard off the coast of the Arctic Ocean.

On the other line is The Suit, calling from TNT’s headquarters in Atlanta.

Thibodeau: Hello?

The Suit: Hey, coach, this is TNT calling.

Thibodeau: We have more than enough to win.

The Suit: No, coach, this isn’t an interview.

Thibodeau: We have more than enough to win.

The Suit: OK, whatever, coach. Anyway, we don’t know how to tell you this, but we’ve found somebody else. So we won’t be airing your game against the Lakers.

Thibodeau: You’re dumping us?

The Suit: Well, “dumping” is kind of a harsh term, coach.

Think of it more like we’re inviting you to play your game on a different station.

ANALYSIS: SENIOR BOWL PRIMER

Chicago-area athletes abundant in Mobile

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedia.com Over the next few months, you’ll hear way too much about rising and falling draft stocks, teams loving one player and giving another one a red flag, and the puzzle metaphor: each part of the draft process is another piece of the puzzle, and a crucial one begins Monday in Mobile, Ala., with the Senior Bowl.

Many of the best seniors

in the country get a chance to show NFL general managers, coaches and scouts what they can do against top competition on the practice field and in Saturday’s all-star game, and how they handle themselves off the field in interviews with teams.

With two weeks until the Super Bowl, here’s a primer of what Bears and Chicago-area football fans should watch to get that fix and start looking ahead to next season.

For a tight end like Johnsburg’s C.J. Fiedorowicz, it’s important to show balance.

Coaches will want to see that he can block in the run game, pass protect as well as run routes and catch passes. Proving he can be an every-down tight end will up Fiedorowicz’s stock.

Northern Illinois safety Jimmie Ward returns home to Mobile, where he’ll need to also show some versatility in terms of coverage and run de-

fense. NFL coaches like to see how safeties handle tight ends, especially as they become bigger parts of the passing game.

Eastern Illinois alum Jimmy Garoppolo of Rolling Meadows shined at the East-West Shrine game and got a late invite to go to Mobile. This will be a stiffer test for Garoppolo to prove he has the arm strength, accuracy and moxie to be an NFL quarterback.

BOYS BOWLING

Fan support at Hononegah Regional large, loud

By KEVIN MEYER kmeyer@shawmedia.com SOUTH BELOIT – If rabid fan support and a tense competitive atmosphere are any indication of the merits of high school bowling in the McHenry County area, then bowling as a sport is more than just a debate: It’s the truth.

Viking Lanes was packed Saturday for about seven consecutive hours as family, friends and other supporters came out to cheer for their favorite schools at the boys bowling Hononegah Regional.

These fans of the sport come prepared. There aren’t too many sports where fans would be committed enough to bring ladders a bit larger than regular step ladders, but these fans do.

“It’s just a neat atmosphere, it’s unlike any other sport, because

you’re so confined to a little area and it’s just packed with supporters right on top of the coaches and bowlers,” Marengo coach Dwain Nance said. “It’s just really cool.”

Watching the competitors from behind the bowling area, fans were pressed body to body, ladder to ladder as they stood as high as they could just to get a glimpse of the bowlers in action.

The bowlers themselves seem to feed off the fans’ energy. They give fist pumps, high fives and general shouts at the crowd after any particularly good throw. It’s not often you see athletes giving so much attention to a crowd.

“It just adds to the spirit and fun of the game,” McHenry senior bowler Paul Colomer said. “It’s a lot to focus on, but in the end you have to come out here and do what you came here to do, which is bowl the

Local bowlers advance At the Lake Zurich Regional on Saturday, Johnsburg freshman Evan Hitchcock advanced to a boys bowling sectional by throwing a 1,265. Johnsburg finished in 10th place with a pinfall total of 5,070.

At the DeKalb Regional, Jacobs’ Brandon Biondo and Huntley’s Grant Gardner also advanced to the sectional round. Biondo, a junior, rolled a 1,270. Gardner, a junior, rolled at 1,215. Huntley finished 10th as a team with 5,597 pins.

All three will compete Saturday at the Boylan Sectional at Park Lanes in Loves Park for a chance to advance to state. best.”

The crowds are, for the most part, generally family of the bowlers.

McHenry coach Kyle Funkhouser, in particular, would love to see the

bowlers get more peer support, especially at home matches.

Funkhouser still loves the support that the families bring. He describes the relatives getting into the action as “rowdy,” mainly when the fanbases compete with each other in a battle of who can cheer the loudest.

“Three years ago, I’d never been to a high school bowling match, and I’m amazed at the family and fan support every time,” Funkhouser said. “Today for example, these fans drove an hour and a half from home, in the snow, and it’s still packed in here.”

Despite the seemingly growing crowds, high school bowling is looking to find its footing in the McHenry County area.

On the boys side, there are only five complete teams (McHenry, Johnsburg, Marengo, Woodstock co-op and Huntley) competing. In

fact, there was just one Crystal Lake student from the area competing at the regional.

“The sport is solid, but we just need to work on getting the word out there, and get more kids playing,” Woodstock co-op coach Ed Zurawski said.

The main problem appears to be the lack of youth programs that support bowling in the area. Zurawski said Woodstock has no programs involving bowling for youths, and there are not many in other parts of McHenry County, either.

“In my eyes, from a youth standpoint, bowling has hit a new low,” Zurawski said. “We need to go back as a unit to grade schools and try to promote bowling more in the area.”

One thing is certain based on the regional crowd: If there are teens competitively bowling locally, supporters will come in big numbers.

CUBS ANALYSIS

Spending doesn’t add up

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com When Cubs business president Crane Kenney stood before a roomful of Cubs fans Saturday and described the relationship between spending and winning as a “chicken-and-egg” question, he unwittingly summed up everything potentially wrong and dangerous in the business approach to the team’s rebuilding plan.

At the very least, he summed up the message delivered by management during a 42-hour Cubs Convention devoid of buzz, optimism or straight answers: that this process might take longer than many envision – perhaps lasting until the end of the decade.

As baseball and business executives touted their big-name Class A players and bragged about their new $6 million Dominican academy and a publicly funded new spring facility, it became increasingly apparent there exists a sizable gap between available resources and baseball spending that could help assure the success of the rebuild.

“One of the things we were smart about was not to put a timetable on it,” baseball president Theo Epstein said as the convention opened Friday, acknowledging unforeseen delays in some of the business-related parts of the plan.

When asked about specifics, Epstein refused to talk about his budgets, any

of the team’s other internal resources and decisions or the perceived disconnect between the business and baseball operations – except to suggest they’re on the same page.

But based on what was said by team officials during the convention, the team’s actions in recent years and conversations with more than a dozen major-league sources, a picture emerges of a wealthy team pinching baseball pennies to compete even within its rebuilding plan.

Consider: • Chairman Tom Ricketts has asserted since the family took ownership that all profits would be invested back into the team. But the payroll budget has declined to a low of just less than $100 million this year, while revenues in the game have increased to industry-record levels; • Kenney boasted Saturday about the Cubs’ fifth-highest revenue in the game, and the Cubs are ranked first in profitability by Forbes. But Epstein told fans Saturday that a big reason for a quiet winter is that he reserved payroll for a run at one big move (read: Masahiro Tanaka). If he doesn’t get him, he said he might roll the savings into next year’s budget – an eyebrow-raising admission considering the resource deficit it suggests. Especially for a team in need of players just to field a representative bigleague club and the rarity of a practice that wasn’t allowed with the previous

regime.

So where’s the money going if it’s not going to baseball?

The team’s major-league-high debt requires more than $30 million annually to service, and bank covenants restrict some levels of spending based on revenue. But Ricketts told fans the debt is only part of the financial puzzle, “not as big a piece of the puzzle as you think.”

And he told the Sun-Times last fall that the family is allowed to spend what it chooses.

If Forbes is to be believed – and sources say Kenney had boasted around the office of the Cubs’ top rank in profitability before Forbes’ 2012 ranking was released – then it’s obvious some of the money that could be going to baseball is being taken in profits.

The promise is that spending will flow when new TV and stadium money start to flow. But one source cautioned against expecting the TV money to come next year. The big flows won’t start until the currently split deals can be consolidated after 2019.

“We still have a very strong baseball budget,” Ricketts told fans. “It is sufficient.”

Note: Despite reports that continue to call the Cubs front-runners for Masahiro Tanaka, signing the 25-year-old righthander is a long shot for the team, which remains skeptical of its chances even with an aggressive effort.

Safeties to watch include Florida St.’s Brooks • SENIOR BOWL Continued from page B1 Other local college prospects in Mobile are Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter, who will play wide receiver, and Illinois linebacker Jonathan Brown.

Now, from a Bears perspective …

Unfortunately, general manager Phil Emery and coach Marc Trestman will not be available to talk to the media, so any questions about

defensive coordinator Mel Tucker and the defense will have to wait until the NFL Scouting Combine.

Emery made it clear this draft will be defense-heavy.

With potentially two starting safety positions to fill, the Bears will be looking for athletes who can come up and stop the run, cover tight ends and be a ball-hawking center fielder. Terrence Brooks (Florida State), Deone Bucannon (Washington State) and Ahmad Dixon (Baylor) are some

of the top players in the back end in Mobile.

The Bears’ Henry Melton, Nate Collins and Jeremiah Ratliff are set to hit free agency, so watch the defensive tackle position. Top prospects Aaron Donald (Pittsburgh), DaQuan Jones (Penn State) and Will Sutton (Arizona State) will be at the Senior Bowl. The ability for a D-tackle to penetrate, maybe more so than plug the run gap, is important for the Bears’ defense.

Of course, defensive end, linebacker and cornerback are all fair game, too, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see the Bears take a late-round quarterback. Plus, the QBs always steal the show in Mobile.

Yes, the Senior Bowl is just one piece to the puzzle, but keep in mind what last year’s first-round pick, Kyle Long, tweeted Saturday morning: “It’s crazy Senior Bowl is right around the corner, had I not been invited to that I wouldn’t be a Bear most likely!”

LA QUINTA, Calif. – Patrick Reed lost his putting touch for a few hours in the final round of the Humana Challenge. He found it when things were getting interesting.

After shooting three straight 9-under-par 63s to open a seven-stroke lead, Reed had a 1-under 71 on Sunday at PGA West’s Arnold Palmer Private Course to beat Ryan Palmer by two strokes.

“It was tough out there,” Reed said.

Finally resembling the guy who talked Saturday about being in a “putting coma,” Reed ran in an 18-footer for birdie on the par-3 15th to push his advantage to three strokes and parred the final three holes. He completed the wire-to-wire victory at 28-under 260.

Reed, 23, has two victories in his first 46 PGA Tour starts, winning the Wyndham Championship in August. He was projected to jump from 73rd to 42nd in the world ranking, enough to lock up a spot next

month in the 64-man Match Play Championship field.

Palmer made a 15-foot eagle putt on the final hole for a 63.

HSBC Championship: At Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, Spain’s Pablo Larrazabal shot a final round 67 to end a near three-year winless drought.

Larrazabal, 30, won by a stroke with a 14-under 274.

Rory McIlroy (68), who had incurred a two-stroke penalty a day earlier, finished with a share of second place with Phil Micklelson (69).

Mickelson was left counting the cost of incurring a shot penalty after a double hit while playing from brush on the 13th hole.

Mitsubishi Electric Championship: At Kaupulehu-Kona, Hawaii, Bernhard Langer birdied five of the last six holes to pull away from Fred Couples and Jeff Sluman and win by three strokes.

The 56-year-old German shot his second straight 64 in the final round of the winners-only event that opened the 35th season of the Champions Tour.

Iowa guard Josh Oglesby gestures Sunday after making a 3-point basket during the first half against Minnesota in Iowa City, Iowa.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: MIDWEST ROUNDUP

No. 14 Iowa trounces Minnesota; UIC falls The ASSOCIATED PRESS IOWA CITY, Iowa – With Devyn Marble struggling and Aaron White in foul trouble, the once-forgotten Josh Oglesby kept Iowa afloat.

Once Marble and White got it going, the 14th-ranked Hawkeyes overwhelmed Minnesota.

White scored all of his 18 points in the second half and Oglesby came off the bench to add a season-high 17 points as Iowa blew past Minnesota, 9473, on Sunday.

Oglesby led yet another brilliant effort by Iowa’s reserves, who scored 43 points.

Marble had 15 of his 16 points after halftime for the surging Hawkeyes, who moved into third place in the Big Ten behind Michigan State and Michigan.

Iowa (15-3 overall, 4-1 Big Ten) overcame a 10-point deficit with a 29-10 run and finished the game by outscoring the Gophers, 61-30. Andre Hollins had a game-high 20 points for Minnesota (14-5, 3-3).

Notre Dame 70, Va. Tech 63: At South Bend, Ind., Pat Connaughton scored 21 points, Demetrius Jackson added 13 and Notre Dame ended a threegame losing streak, beating Virginia Tech.

The Irish (11-7, 2-3 ACC) ended their losing streak on a night when former coach Digger Phelps was inducted into the school’s Ring of Honor on the 40th anniversary of his second-ranked Notre Dame squad beating UCLA, 71-70, to end the Bruins’ 88-game winning streak. The Hokies (8-9, 1-4) lost their fourth straight.

Green Bay 69, Illinois-Chicago 64: At Chicago, Alec Brown and Keifer Sykes combined for 44 points, and Green Bay remained unbeaten in Horizon League play with a 69-64 win over the Illinois-Chicago.

Green Bay (15-3, 5-0) won its 10th consecutive game, battling back from a second-half deficit to edge UIC (5-14, 0-5).

Brown scored 23 for the Phoenix and Sykes had 21.

Pat Birt scored 13 to lead the Flames.

Climbing in East with heart, belief

The Blackhawks’ Patrick Kane scores against Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask during the shootout Sunday at the United Center. The Hawks won, 3-2.

BLACKHAWKS 3, BRUINS 2 (SO)

Cup Final atmosphere Kane’s shootout goal decides high-intensity matchup

By MARK LAZERUS mlazersu@suntimes.com CHICAGO – You saw it in flashes Sunday at the United Center, a play here, a hit there, a roar everywhere – Patrick Kane spinning and sending a perfect cross-crease pass to Brandon Saad, Brandon Bollig and Milan Lucic jawing along the boards, 22,197 fans inhaling at the same time with every scoring chance down the stretch in a tied third period.

Each moment was a glimpse into the past, a brief reminder of the breathless pace, the jaw-dropping action and the excruciating intensity of last June’s Stanley Cup Final between the Blackhawks and the Boston Bruins.

“It felt like a playoff game, for sure,” Kane said after his first shootout goal of the season gave the Hawks an immensely entertaining 3-2 matinee victory – their first overtime or shootout win since Nov. 29.

Of course, this wasn’t a

Next for the Hawks Hawks at Detroit, 7 p.m.

Wednesday, NBCSN, AM-720 playoff game. But it sure felt [/a lot like those epic encounters did last spring. And far more importantly, the Hawks sure looked a lot like the high-octane juggernaut team that won that series, and the Stanley Cup, in six games.

After weeks of listless play, a big, ballyhooed weekend against the Ducks and the Bruins have brought the Hawks back to life, with four points in the standings and an extra jump in their step.

“The middle [of the season] gets a little dull,” Kane said. “It was nice that we had two big games against two great teams to get us back up and going.”

The Hawks and Bruins had

no trouble getting up for a rare 11:30 a.m. start, pushing the pace right from the first drop of the puck. Marian Hossa scored his fifth goal in as many games just 4:13 into the game, as Patrick Sharp used a big burst of speed to chase down a loose puck and feed the hardcharging Hossa for a 1-0 lead.

But Brad Marchand scored with 18.9 seconds left in the first, then again just 50 seconds into the second period to give the Bruins a 2-1 lead.

But Bollig somehow slipped a soft shot from a sharp angle between Tuukka Rask and the inside post midway through the second period to make it 2-2, setting the stage for 35 rollicking minutes until the shootout finally ended things.

Jonathan Toews joked that he was “just glad it didn’t go to three overtimes,” like Game 1 of the Final did. But a game this well-played surely deserved a better ending than a gimmicky shootout.

“Win or lose, I don’t put

too much emphasis on the shootouts because it goes down to individuals, but I think as a game, it was a great game,” Boston coach Claude Julien said. “I thought both teams played well. Both teams competed hard. … Again, I guess it just continues to be the same as it was last year, need overtime to resolve these games against us.”

For those keeping track, it was the second straight time the Hawks erased a 2-1 deficit to beat the Bruins 3-2. This wasn’t “17 seconds” by any stretch of the imagination, but it was just one more reminder of those heady days in June, and the magic these two teams seem to bring out in each other.

“It was two fast teams [playing] at their best, and definitely a good hockey game to watch,” said Corey Crawford, who made 34 saves. “We knew it was going to be a tough game, and they didn’t disappoint.”

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Toews named Team Canada alternate capt.

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Jonathan Toews being named an alternate captain for Team Canada was almost as inevitable as him being named to the team itself. But that didn’t diminish the honor for Toews when Hockey Canada made it official Sunday.

“It’s pretty cool,” Toews said. “It’s a pretty huge honor. First and foremost, to be on that team is amazing. To be considered one of those guys, at my age, to be looked to for leadership, I’m excited about that. [I’ll] be confident with that role, considering the experience I’ve had at the Olympics before and the playoffs with our team here in Chicago. I’m excited for the challenge. I know it’s going to be different than the role I played last time. So it’s not going to be easy, but I’m looking forward to it.”

Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby, who scored the golden goal

against the United States in the gold-medal game in 2010 in Vancouver, will be the captain. Nashville Predators defenseman Shea Weber is the other alternate.

Toews has been the Blackhawks’ captain since his second season in 2008-09.

“You couldn’t ask for a better role model or a better example of what a captain is supposed to represent,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said.

But on Team Canada, Toews will be leading a room full of leaders. He said that won’t change anything for him.

“I’m just going to do what normally makes me a successful hockey player and try and bring as much as I can to the table,” he said. “And I think [that means] playing that smart, two-way game the way I know how to.”

Toews had a rare lapse in that smart game Sunday against the Boston Bruins, inadvertently tossing a shard of his broken stick into the crowd and earning a 10-minute misconduct. He sat and

watched the middle of the second period, chatting up the penalty-box official while standing up and keeping loose during stoppages.

Rule 53.4 calls for an automatic misconduct penalty for throwing a piece of equipment out of the playing area, regardless of intention. Had it been intentional, he would have received a two-minute minor, too.

“I just kind of tossed it and made sure it was out of the way if the puck came back in that area, and I guess it went over the glass,” Toews said. “Kind of unfortunate, but at least I didn’t put our team down a guy.”

Pirri update: Brandon Pirri missed his eighth consecutive game Saturday for the Rockford IceHogs. He suffered a lower-body injury Dec. 30.

Rockford coach Ted Dent said Pirri started skating last week but not in full practices. Dent said there’s no timetable for his return.

Each week seems to bring a different challenge to a Bulls team that labeled itself “special” entering the season.

Trades, injuries, rumored infighting between coach and front office – pick an obstacle.

Still, the Bulls are 7-2 in January and are climbing their way up the Eastern Conference playoff seedings. “Special” seems to be taking on an entirely different meaning.

“They’ve got a lot of fight in them,” coach Tom Thibodeau said. “This team always bounces back. We’ve taken a lot of hits. We have to keep grinding.

We’ve got a long way to go, and we want to be in position to win every night.”

That’s the message Thibodeau has been feeding his players since training camp started, long before Derrick Rose was lost for the season because of surgery on his right knee and Luol Deng was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

So squash all the talk about the lack of talent left on the roster and the dreams about drafting Duke star Jabari Parker. The Bulls seem to be lottery-proof.

“In life, everything is like that,” backup big man Taj Gibson said. “You have to believe in yourself. Nobody is going to believe more than the people around you and the people in the gym with you. That’s what we feel. We understand that the only ones that believe in us are in that locker room, and we’ll keep dropping with that.”

Gibson even took it a step further. Not only did he say the Bulls are capable of finishing

Next for the Bulls L.A. Lakers at Bulls, 7 p.m. Monday, WGN, AM-1000 among the top three in the Eastern Conference, he also said they would welcome a playoff matchup against the Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat.

“We feel like we have enough talent to be right up there in the top three of the East,” Gibson said. “So I feel like we’ve got a good shot. When it comes to playoffs, it’s all about matchups and experience. We have enough experience with the guys that we have, and we’re getting experience for the younger guys that are stepping up right now. Come playoff time, we’ll have a lot of options.

“The main thing is to have that thing in your chest. We’ve got a lot of that; we’ve got a whole lot of heart. And that heart can get you a long way in this league.”

Small forward Mike Dunleavy has played for four teams, including some very bad ones.

“You don’t always have that mentality that guys in this locker room have,” Dunleavy said.

“Here, you have guys dropping like flies at certain points, whether it’s an injury or trades, and I think there has been maybe one night where it’s been like, ‘Man, how’s it going to go tonight?’ Now, we’re kind of settled into our team, and we believe each night. Every night, we feel like we can go out there, compete and give ourselves a chance to win.”

Blazers boast more star power than Bulls • MUSICK Continued from page B1 Trail Blazers and the Rockets, and those teams don’t get nearly as many national telecasts as they deserve.

Have you seen Portland’s point guard, Damian Lillard?

He’s incredible. It’s only his second season, and he’s so explosive toward the basket. He reminds me a lot of Derrick Ro- … um, well, you know.

Thibodeau: That hurts.

The Suit: Yeah, well, the truth hurts sometimes, coach.

Once you lost Rose, and especially after you traded Luol Deng, your team became really boring. And the Lakers aren’t exactly God’s gift to basketball now that Bryant is on the shelf.

Thibodeau: But we’d be in the playoffs if the season ended today.

The Suit: Whoop dee doo.

Take away the Heat and the Pacers, and have you seen how pathetic the rest of the

Eastern Conference has been this season? My lawn ornament would be in the playoffs if the season ended today.

Thibodeau: You have a lawn ornament?

The Suit: That’s not the point.

Thibodeau: OK, fine. Take your cameras to Houston. We don’t need you anyway.

The Suit: Listen, coach, this isn’t a forever goodbye.

We’ll still plan to broadcast some Bulls games, you know, when we don’t have any other options.

Thibodeau: You’re really pushing it, pal.

The Suit: You’re right. I apologize. Tell the folks at WGN that we said hello.

Thibodeau: I can’t believe you’re dumping us.

The Suit: You’ll be fine. See you in the playoffs.

Track stars picked for women’s team

Russian President Vladimir Putin said gays should feel welcome at the upcoming Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, but they must “leave the children in peace.”

WINTER OLYMPICS

Putin links gays to pedophiles Country needs to ‘cleanse’ itself of homosexuality to raise birth rates

By LYNN BERRY The Associated Press MOSCOW – Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered new assurances to gay athletes and fans attending the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics next month.

Yet he defended Russia’s anti-gay law by equating gays with pedophiles and said Russia needs to “cleanse” itself of homosexuality if it wants to increase its birth rate.

Putin’s comments in an interview broadcast Sunday with Russian and foreign TV stations showed the wide gulf between the perception of homosexuality in Russia versus the West.

A Russian law passed last year banning “propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations” among minors has caused an international outcry.

Putin refused to answer a question from the BBC on whether he believes that people are born gay or become gay.

The Russian law, however, suggests that information about homosexuality can

AUSTRALIAN OPEN

Sharapova bows out in 4th round

By JOHN PYE The Associated Press MELBOURNE, Australia – Victoria Azarenka advanced to the quarterfinals and firmed as a favorite to claim a third straight Australian Open title Sunday (Monday in Australia) after Maria Sharapova joined Serena Williams on the fourth-round casualty list.

Azarenka had a 6-3, 6-2 win over No. 13-seeded Sloane Stephens in a match that didn’t have any of the drama of their contentious semifinal here last year.

Third-seeded Sharapova lost, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1, to Dominika Cibulkova in the earlier match at Rod Laver Arena, struggling with her serve in the second and third sets and making 45 unforced errors as she tried to claw her way back.

Her serve started to backfire from the eighth game, when she was broken at love while trying to serve out the first set.

During a run of four breaks against her, Sharapova won only three points on her own serve and fell 5-0 behind in the second set.

The four-time major winner rallied to win four straight games before Cibulkova held to level the match. After taking an off-court medical time out after the second set for a hip strain, she was broken immediately and had seven double-faults in the third set.

Sharapova was two tournaments into a comeback from a prolonged layoff with a right shoulder injury, and said her run to the fourth round was a positive sign because she was healthy and back on tour.

influence a child’s sexual orientation.

The law has contributed to growing animosity toward gays in Russian society, with rights activists reporting a rise in harassment and abuse.

International worries about how gays will be treated in Sochi have been met with assurances from Russian officials and Olympic organizers that there will be no discrimination, and Putin reiterated that stance.

“There are no fears for people with this nontraditional orientation who plan to come to Sochi as guests or participants,” Putin declared in the TV interview.

He said the law was aimed at banning propaganda of homosexuality and pedophilia, suggesting that gays are more likely to abuse children.

Making another favorite argument against homosexuality, Putin noted with pride that Russia saw more births than deaths last year for the first time in two decades. Population growth is vital for Russia’s development and “anything

that gets in the way of that we should clean up,” he said, using a word usually reserved for military operations.

The law on propaganda has been used to justify barring gay pride rallies on the grounds that children might see them.

This has raised the question of how athletes and fans would be treated for any gay-rights protests during the Olympics.

When asked about this by the ABC TV channel, Putin said protests against the law itself would not be considered propaganda.

Putin then hit back, accusing the United States of double standards in its criticism of Russia, pointing to laws that remain on the books in some U.S. states classifying gay sex as a crime. The U.S. Supreme Court, however, ruled in 2003 that such laws were unconstitutional.

Homosexuality was a crime in the entire former Soviet Union, which collapsed in 1991. It was decriminalized in Russia in 1993.

The Sochi Winter Olympics run Feb. 7 to 23.

Lauryn Williams and Lolo Jones have been selected for the U.S. bobsled team that will compete in next month’s Sochi Olympics.

They are now positioned to join a group of eight other Americans who have competed in both the Summer and Winter Games. Williams is a three-time summer Olympian who helped the U.S. win a gold medal in the 400-meter relay at the London Games. Jones is a two-time veteran of the summer games in the 100-meter hurdles, missing out on gold in Beijing after a late stumble.

Jones is in her second season of bobsledding, then recruited Williams to the sport last year. They will join Aja Evans, another Winter Olympic first-timer, as the push athletes in Sochi, along with drivers Jamie Greubel, Elana Meyers and Jazmine Fenlator.

U.S. officials announced the selections Sunday night.

“This is the deepest field of push athletes we’ve ever had,” said Darrin Steele, the CEO of the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Federation. “We knew heading into the season that the Olympic selection was going to be extremely difficult. It’s a good problem to have, but it meant that some outstanding athletes would not make the Olympic team.”

In short, the U.S. had five women who became de facto finalists for the three push spots. Evans was widely considered a lock to make the team after a series of strong performances, both on and off the track.

Williams was part of four World Cup races this season, winning two silvers earlier in the campaign and then teaming with Greubel for a gold medal Sunday that surely made her résumé look a whole lot better.

“I had no idea what was in store for me this season,” Williams said. “I just wanted to come in with positive energy and help out. This is the first

You can’t let that person down, and that’s what drives me. It’s very important to give everything I have whenever I’m on that start line.”

That seemed to leave Jones, Emily Azevedo and Katie Eberling as the candidates for the final spot on the push crew. Jones won silvers with Greubel and Meyers driving this season. Eberling also had a strong resume, with world championship medals in the past and three World Cup bronzes this winter.

In the end, Jones was the call.

The U.S. qualified three men’s two-man sleds and two four-man sleds for Sochi.

Reigning Olympic four-man champion Steven Holcomb will drive USA-1 and Nick Cunningham will be at the control of USA-2 in both disciplines, and Cory Butner will drive the third two-man entry.

Holcomb and his crew of Curt Tomasevicz, Steve Langton and Chris Fogt will be USA-1. Holcomb snapped a 62year U.S. gold medal drought in the four-man event at the 2010 Vancouver Games, and now will try to give the U.S. its first two-man gold since 1936.

Justin Olsen, Johnny Quinn and Dallas Robinson will push Cunningham’s fourman sled.

Bears’ Tillman finalist for Walter Payton Award

“Not until Sherm tips the ball to Malcolm did it hit me that we had a chance to go to the Super Bowl,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “It’s quite a magical moment. You can’t quite grasp the reality of it. I know for the old guys, the young guys, it’s a big moment for everybody. It’s very, very special.”

Although Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch scored on a 40-yard run to tie the score, 10-10, early in the third quarter, the quarterbacks made the difference. Wilson’s fumble when he was sacked by Aldon Smith on the first play from scrimmage was his last big mistake of the day. He finished 16 of 25 for 215 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions for a 104.6 passer rating that was a measurement of his efficiency as much as anything.

“It’s been a blessing,” Wilson said.

NEW YORK – Bears cornerback Charles Tillman, Carolina linebacker Thomas Davis and Arizona kicker Jay Feely have been selected as finalists for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award.

The award, named in honor of the late Hall of Fame running back, recognizes a player’s community service and performance on the field. The winner, who’ll receive a $20,000 donation in his name to his favorite charity, will be announced during the NFL Honors show Feb. 1, the night before the Super Bowl.

Tillman, Davis and Feely were chosen from among the 32 team nominees for the award and will receive a $5,000 donation in their name.

– The Associated Press “We played so hard. We talked at the beginning of the season and said, ‘Why not us?’ That’s been our mind-

set.”

Niners quarterback Colin Kaepernick was better early but struggled in the second half when Carroll made some defensive changes. Kaepernick rushed for 130 yards on 11 carries, including a 58-yard run in the second quarter that set up a touchdown.

But after Wilson threw the touchdown to Kearse that gave the Seahawks a 20-17 lead with 13:44 left in the fourth quarter, Kaepernick was unable to respond. He lost a fumble when he was sackd by Cliff Avril, with Michael Bennett recovering and returning to the 49ers’ 6-yard line.

The 49ers staved off that threat – after NoVarro Bowman suffered a gruesome-looking knee injury on an apparent fumble recovery that was inexplicably given to the Seahawks – when Lynch fumbled on fourth-andgoal. But Kaepernick threw an interception on the second play, leading to a Michael Hauschka field goal that gave the Seahawks a 23-17 lead.

Kaepernick had one last chance and drove the 49ers to the Seattle 18 with 30 seconds left. But his pass for Crabtree in the end zone was tipped

by Sherman and intercepted by Smith to clinch it.

The 49ers could only rue missed opportunities. Smith’s sack and fumble recovery on the first play gave the 49ers the ball at their 15, but they could only get a field goal. Frank Gore was held to 14 yards on 11 carries.

Kaepernick finished 14 of 24 for 153 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions for a 56.4 passer rating.

When it came time to make the difference. The Seahawks got it done.

They contained Kaepernick after halftime and outscored the 49ers, 20-7, in the second half. The better team won.

“It wound up being a sloppy finish,” Carroll said. “But what did happen was we threw a tremendous night of defense out there. With a couple of exceptions, we played great. And we needed it.”

Broncos’ defense allows Patriots only 64 rushing yards • AFC Continued from page B1 Broncos booking their trip to Super Bowl XLVIII against the NFC champion Seattle Seahawks on Feb. 2 in East Rutherford, N.J. The Broncos’ defense played well, especially against the run (64 rushing yards allowed) and in key moments against Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (sacked twice).

Broncos kicker Matt Prater made 27-, 35-, 19- and 54-yard field goals.

Manning’s offensive line deserves praise for not allowing Manning to be sacked or even hit. And Brady made some very un-Brady-like throws, missing open receivers for potential touchdowns.

But the victory was a Manning moment because he beat Brady, evening his playoff record against him at 2-2, and methodically dismantled Bill Belichick’s defense on a big stage after struggling against

It was a Manning moment because he’s not too far removed from missing the entire 2011 season after undergoing multiple neck surgeries or from saying goodbye to the

Indianapolis Colts and hello to the Broncos.

“I had some doubts and I had some worries, for sure,” Eli said about his brother. “But he stayed strong and fought through it. He was determined to get back and get back to a level he wanted to, and he probably came back better than ever.”

It was a Manning moment because he might not play after this season if his neck is at risk.

“When you know you don’t have a ton of [games] left, you really kind of soak it up,” Cooper said. “I think everybody that retires wants one more shot. He’s glad to get it.”

Manning, who will turn 38 in March, is the third quarterback in NFL history to lead two teams to the Super Bowl. He beat the Bears in 2006 and lost to the New Orleans Saints in 2009 with the Colts.

A Super Bowl finish is an appropriate way for Manning to finish a

record-setting season, too.

“With Peyton, not much amazes me anymore,” Eli said.

Eli said he thought his brother “was on his game the whole day.”

Manning connected with eight receivers as the Broncos opened leads of 23-3 and 26-10.

Manning had completions of 37, 30, 29, 27, 26, 23 and 21 yards as the Broncos put up a whopping 507 yards of total offense. Demaryius Thomas had seven catches for 134 yards and a touchdown.

Manning’s biggest completion may have been his 37-yard strike down the sideline to tight end Julius Thomas. It was a bold statement after Brady (24 for 38, 277 yards, two total touchdowns) got the Patriots within 13 points with more than nine minutes remaining. Four plays later Prater made his 54-yarder.

“I have a lot of respect for [Manning],” Brady said. “He is a great player, and he played great today.”

It does appear that Super Bowl XLVIII will feature the two best teams in the NFL. For just the second time since 1993, both the AFC’s and NFC’s No. 1 seeds have advanced to the championship game.

The Saints and Colts – with Peyton Manning at quarterback – also turned the trick in 2009.

This time though, Denver and Seattle each needed a little bit of help.

For the Denver Broncos, the AFC Championship Game really was all about Manning, and it left you wondering if the Broncos are in fact a team of destiny this year.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 23

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush fense completely throttled the New England ground game, holding the Patriots to 64 yards on 16 carries.

But early in the second quarter with the Broncos leading just 3-0, Patriots Pro Bowl cornerback Aqib Talib suffered a knee injury on a block from Wes Welker that probably should have been an offensive pass interference call but wasn’t, and Talib was lost for the day.

From that point on Manning had his way with the New England secondary, and Demaryius Thomas finished the day with seven catches

for 134 yards and a touchdown.

Thomas was shut down by Talib for most of the evening in the Pats’ come-from-behind victory in November, and Thomas suggested Talib may have been the difference in the game.

However, suggesting that is the reason the Broncos are going to the Super Bowl would be short-changing Manning and the Denver defense, particularly 350-pound defensive tackle Terrance Knighton, who led the charge with four tackles, two for loss and one sack.

Manning missed only 11 of his 43 pass attempts, averaged 9.3 yards an attempt, and had a 118.4 passer rating.

Denver was 7 of 13 on third down and put up 507 yards of total offense

possession of the ball and score the touchdown that put them ahead, 20-17.

Still, the Seahawks had to make the plays to take advantage of those breaks, and they came from some unexpected sources.

Six catches for 106 yards and a 69yard kickoff return from Doug Baldwin, and a 35-yard touchdown catch from Jermaine Kearse were the difference in the game for Seattle.

One blemish on the Seahawks’ second NFC title was the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Sherman after his game-saving play in the end zone and then a classless outburst on national TV explaining it.

But as he said while he was embarrassing himself and his team,

The Seattle Seahawks’ Richard Sherman celebrates with fans Sunday after the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers in Seattle. The Seahawks won, 23-17, to advance to Super Bowl XLVIII.

Sherman makes big play, talks bigger

By TIM BOOTH The Associated Press SEATTLE – Seconds after making the game-saving play to send Seattle to the Super Bowl, cornerback Richard Sherman was fired up.

Sherman deflected a pass intended for San Francisco’s Michael Crabtree near the corner of the end zone with less than a minute left, right into the arms of Seattle teammate Malcolm Smith to seal the Seahawks’ 23-17 win.

Sherman was subsequently whistled for unsportsmanlike conduct on the play, after exchanging words with Crabtree and making what appeared to be a choking gesture.

Asked about the incident afterward by Fox reporter Erin Andrews, Sherman stole the show and lit up

Twitter with a rant that began: “I’m the best corner in the game. When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that’s the result you gonna get. Don’t you ever talk about me!”

Sherman didn’t back down later.

He apologized to Andrews, then proceeded to call Crabtree “mediocre,” making sure to annunciate each syllable of the word.

“I was making sure everybody knew Crabtree was a mediocre receiver,” Sherman said. “And when you try the best corner in the game with a mediocre receiver that’s what happens.”

It was a fiery, emotional rant from Sherman, who celebrated his first Super Bowl trip by racing around the field after Russell Wilson took the final knee, then

leaping into the first row of seats in the south end zone to celebrate with fans.

Sherman was rarely targeted by San Francisco, with most of the throws going toward Sherman’s teammate Byron Maxwell. But when Colin Kaepernick had to make a throw in the final seconds, he decided to challenge the All-Pro. Sherman stayed with Crabtree, leaped and batted the ball into the air with his left hand. That allowed Malcolm Smith to run underneath and make the interception that clinched the victory.

“I knew if I tipped it high enough someone would get there,” Sherman said.

Sherman then ran over to Crabtree and gave him a pat on the backside, then appeared to extend his arm for

Could Have a V-8

a handshake. Instead, Sherman got shoved in the face before picking up his personal foul as his celebration continued.

“We just couldn’t capitalize. Sherman made a good play. That’s probably the only play he made all game,” Crabtree said. “I ain’t getting into that, he knows what time it is. When we’re on the field, he ain’t doing nothin’.

That’s one play, you know what I’m saying? ... He’s a TV guy, I’m not a TV guy. I play ball.”

Sherman said his issues with Crabtree go back to something that happened during the offseason but would not go into detail.

“He said something personal face to face. He knows what he said and he knows I’m going to be tough on him the rest of his career.”

Most rushing yards by an NFL quarterback in a single playoff game:

By HOWARD FENDRICH Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning runs the NFL’s No. 1 offense.

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is a key cog in the NFL’s No. 1 defense.

(Just ask him.)

That intriguing matchup will be one of the main Super Bowl storylines when the AFC champion Broncos play the NFC champion Seahawks on Feb. 2 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. According to STATS, it’s the first NFL title game since 1991 pitting the team that scored the most points in the regular season against the team that allowed the fewest.

Definitely no upstarts here.

Manning does own one Super Bowl title already, having led the Colts past the Bears in 2007.

Already the only four-time NFL MVP – and expected to earn a fifth such honor when awards are announced the night before the Super Bowl – Manning can become the first starting QB to win titles with two franchises.

In a 26-16 victory over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game Sunday, Manning was pretty much flawless, going 32 of 43 for 400 yards with two touchdowns.

And now, inevitably, the two-week buildup until the Super Bowl will be mainly about Manning, just as this entire season has. He is, after all, the player who set NFL records by throwing for 55 touchdowns and 5,477 yards, helping Denver lead the league with 37.9 points and 457.3 yards per game.

Manning’s oft-told tale, certain to be repeated a million times in the coming days, includes his comeback from a series of surgical procedures to his neck, attempts to cure problems that led him to sit out the entire 2011 season and led the Colts to send him packing.

in a game that wasn’t as close as the score might suggest.

On the other hand, the Seahawks and 49ers game came down to the final minute, and while Seattle clinched its trip to New York on a great play from All Pro cornerback, Richard Sherman with 25 seconds left, it’s quite possible they wouldn’t be making the trip without an unusual amount of help from the officials.

The NFC title game was so even each team had 308 yards of total offense, and the Seahawks needed a horrible personal foul call on Donte Whitner on a perfectly clean shoulder pad-to-shoulder pad hit to set up their first field goal.

Broncos pick Pats apart after Talib injury

By PAT GRAHAM The Associated Press DENVER – The New England Patriots finally lost one player too many.

When cornerback Aqib Talib went out, Peyton Manning went to work and a New England team that made it to the AFC title game with a banged-up roster and a runheavy offense simply ran out of answers.

Manning picked apart a depleted secondary and the Patriots fell a game short of the Super Bowl for the second consecutive season with a 2616 loss to Denver on Sunday.

“We had to make some plays, have something, maybe a break, go our way, but we couldn’t get there,” offensive lineman Logan Mankins said.

It was that kind of day in what has been a tumultuous season for the Patriots (135). They lost big names early (Aaron Hernandez) and late (Rob Gronkowski), but still

“Aqib Talib became a key player for us. Losing him, it’s not an easy thing.”

Rob Ninkovich Patriots defensive end

found a way to keep things rolling as they made it to their third straight conference championship game.

They needed to play flawlessly against Manning and his high-flying offense. They avoided turnovers and only committed two penalties, but they gained only 64 yards on the ground and didn’t get enough defensive stops, and Denver gained 507 total yards.

“The bottom line was they just did a better job than we did,” New England coach Bill Belichick said. “That’s really the bottom line. I don’t think it’s about any one player or any one play.”

New England had to aban-

don the run game early after falling behind. LeGarrette Blount couldn’t get on track, not as he did the previous week against Indy when he ran for 166 yards and scored four TDs. The big, burly back was held to 6 yards on five attempts.

Surprised Denver was able to stop the ground game?

“Yeah,” Blount said.

Any reason for it?

“They stopped us,” Blount simply said.

Losing Talib certainly didn’t help the situation. Talib limped to the sideline early in the second quarter with what was announced as a rib injury.

Later, it was changed to a knee ailment.

No matter the injury, the standout defensive back was done for the day. Talib figured heavily in the Patriots’ plans to neutralize one of Manning’s many weapons, receiver Demaryius Thomas.

After all, he held Thomas to a season-low 41 yards in a 34-31

overtime win on Nov. 24.

Once Talib left, Manning looked for Thomas often as he hauled in seven catches for 134 yards and a score to help the Broncos (15-3) advance to their first Super Bowl since winning back-to-back titles following the ‘97 and ‘98 seasons.

“Aqib became a key player for us,” defensive end Rob Ninkovich said. “Losing him, it’s not an easy thing.”

After the game, Talib hobbled out of the locker room. He didn’t say much, other than he was “upset” about the injury and that his desire to return was “very bad.”

Talib was shaken up when he ran into former Patriots receiver Wes Welker on a pass play over the middle.

Talib stayed on the ground for several minutes before walking off the field. He was examined on the bench and headed to the locker room briefly before returning to the sideline.

Teenager’s taxi service has a disgruntled rider Dear Abby: I’m a high school senior. At the beginning of the school year, I agreed to drive my best friend to school in the mornings, and for a while it was nice.

Last month, she started to refuse to talk while I was driving. If I tried talking to her, she wouldn’t respond.

She recently told her boyfriend (who she texts constantly while riding with me) she didn’t like my driving. I found out because of a post he made on Facebook. When I asked her about it, she said that morning I had slammed on the brakes and it scared her.

This has made me tense and stressed out in the mornings, and I want to stop driving her. My grandmother says I should stick it out instead of causing friction.

My mom thinks I should stop driving her, but only if she can find another ride.

I tried to explain this to her, but she won’t listen and I’m still stuck with her. This has ruined our relationship.

I feel like she hates me, but I don’t know what to do about any of it. Help. – Driven Crazy In Florida Dear Driven Crazy: Your former best friend may have stopped talking to you on the way to school because she was too busy texting her boyfriend. She is ignoring the fact you have been doing her

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips the favor of transporting her and is using you as a private taxi service.

If she was frightened because you braked suddenly, the person she should have said it to was YOU. So stop “explaining” to her and TELL her if she wants to continue getting a free ride, she had better adjust her attitude or make other arrangements for transportation.

Dear Abby: My daughter, the mother of a toddler, just had twins. We live four hours away, so I stayed with them for a few weeks to help her and her husband adjust to their larger family. It taught me a lot about how to help new mothers who are feeling overwhelmed.

It’s not about holding the babies; everyone wants to do that. Instead, if you really want to help tired parents, do one of the following: Take the older children to the park, the library, the zoo, to a diner for breakfast. Keep them happy and safe, and bring them home worn out.

Bring dinner or takeout when visiting. Wash, dry and fold the laundry. Get the kids ready for bed, give them their baths, read books to them and

wait until they are asleep to leave.

Clean the house, run the vacuum, empty the garbage and change the beds. Buy groceries (the basics), including paper goods, and grab a box of gallon plastic bags, masking tape and Sharpies (to date frozen foods).

The gift of your time is ever so much more helpful than cute baby outfits that are quickly outgrown.

Thanks, Abby. – Proud

Grandma In New York Dear Proud Grandma: My warm congratulations on the new additions to your family.

Your daughter is a lucky woman. Your letter should be clipped and saved by anyone who is looking forward to grandparenthood because it is a classic.

Dear Readers: Today we celebrate the birthday of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., the visionary civil rights leader who was assassinated in 1968. Many of his words ring as true today as when they were first spoken.

The quote I have in mind as I write this is, “All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face-to-face with another problem.” It applies to many aspects of life.

Why Haven’t Neuropathy Sufferers Been Told These Facts?

Do you have any of the following symptoms?

• Pins and needles feeling • Numbness in the hands or feet • Tingling or burning sensations • Weakness in the arms or legs • Sharp shooting or burning pains

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Try to dress right, stay dry to reduce chances of frostbite Dear Dr. K: My kids love to play outside, even in the cold and snow. How can I protect them from frostbite?

Dear Reader: Frostbite, ironically, results from the body’s attempt to protect itself against the cold. Our body cares much more about the temperature of its inside self than the temperature of its outer self.

What do I mean? The normal temperature inside our body (our “core temperature”) is around 98.6 degrees F. The organs inside – the brain, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and others – function best at that temperature.

When our whole body is exposed to very cold air, it’s our outer organs that start to cool off first. When cold blood in the skin returns to the inside of the body, it threatens to lower the core temperature. To fight against that, when our skin gets very cold the blood vessels in and near the skin start to narrow. As a result, less cold is carried to our insides, protecting our core body temperature.

But protecting the core temperature by reducing blood flow to the outer part of our body can go too far.

If the blood vessels in and

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff near the skin clamp down too much, this can cause dangerously low blood flow, particularly in our toes, fingers, ears and nose. The combination of cold temperature and poor blood flow can cause frostbite: the freezing of skin, muscle and even bone.

If your children insist on playing outside in the cold, you can protect them in several ways: • Dress them in loose layers. The outermost layer should be wind-resistant to reduce heat loss. Inner layers of silk, polypropylene or wool will keep them warmer than cotton.

• Keep them dry. Remove wet layers or dress them in layers that wick moisture away from their skin. If their skin gets wet, it loses heat more easily.

• Be vigilant. Check periodically for signs of frostbite.

Your children may not feel your touch on their fingers or toes. Their skin may look waxy, white or lighter than usual, or it may appear pink

or red. It may feel overly soft.

As frostbite worsens, the skin may become hard.

• If they start to shiver, have them go inside.

If your children do end up with mild frostbite, gently blow air on the affected area, or place it against a warmer area of the body. For example, place their fingers in between your hands.

If they experience serious frostbite, go to an emergency room as soon as you can.

It’s best to warm frostbitten areas under medical supervision, as some attempts to treat frostbite can actually cause damage.

To protect against damage, do not use massage, water warmer than 110 degrees F., or dry heat, such as a radiator or hair dryer, to warm the body part.

Mild frostbite usually heals well without complications. More severe frostbite may cause permanent tissue damage.

So be watchful about frostbite. And hope for an early spring.

If so, you may have a condition called peripheral neuropathy.

Peripheral neuropathy, or “nerve damage,” is one of the most chronic conditions in the U.S., affecting over 20 million Americans.

Neuropathy results from injury to the nerves in the arms and legs. This disrupts the body’s ability to communicate with its muscles, organs and tissues. Most people don’t recognize neuropathy’s symptoms, which are: • Pins and needles feeling • Numbness in the hands or feet • Tingling or burning sensations • Weakness in the arms or legs • Sharp shooting or burning pains These annoying problems may come and go...interrupt your sleep...or even make your arm or legs feel weak at times. But even if you’ve had neuropathy symptoms for a while, there are 3 common myths I often see with this condition.

sufferers who do nothing about it will have either pain or disability 12 months later.

Let’s face it, your neuropathy symptoms haven’t gone away by now, it’s not likely they will disappear on their own. And it’s been shown in studies that if ignored, symptoms can intensify causing loss of sensation, unremitting pain, and even disability.

Neuropathy Treatment System Relieves Numbness & Pain Fortunately, if you are suffering from any neuropathy pain, numbness or tingling, your symptoms may be relieved or eliminated by a new treatment.

A new proven peripheral neuropathy

Myth #1: Thinking More Pills Are The Only Solution

What Other Wh Pr Professionals are saying ab about this program.

A common treatment for many nerve problems is the ‘take some pills and wait and see’ method.

While this may be necessary for temporary relief of severe symptoms, using them long term is no way to live. Some of the more common drugs given include pain pills, antiseizure mediations, and antidepressants -- all of which have serious side effects.

Why not look for a drugless solution instead of just covering over the pain?

Myth #2: Assuming Neuropathy is Only Found in Diabetic People Diabetic patients are not the only group to suffer with thiss condition.

Actually more neuropathy sufferers are non-diabetic than are, according to a recent 2009 study.

Here’s what the study, done by The Neuropathy Association, revealed...

“Neuropathy is often misrepresented as only being diabetes related. However, this survey demonstrates that for every diabetic neuropathy patient, there are at least six more patients suffering with various neuropathies...” - Dr. Thomas H. Brannagan, III, medical advisor for The Neuropathy Association.

Myth #3: Believing Numbness and Tingling will go away on it’s own.

One of the biggest myths people believe about their numbness, tingling, and pain is that it goes away all by itself... without any treatment. But a study on back pain in the British Medical Journal proved this myth false, showing that 75% of back pain

Wayne Gretzky, the ice hockey superstar who surprisingly won the Stanley Cup only four times (the record for a player is 11, held by Henri Richard of the Montreal Canadiens), said, “You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.”

Experts carry a fair number of percentages around in their heads. Less capable players know a few. This means that when two lines of play present themselves, the expert can usually calculate which is mathematically better. But someone else might have to rely on instinct.

In this example, how should South play in three no-trump after West leads the club queen?

North might have used

his points in his short suits, it was reasonable to raise to three no-trump. Using Stay-

three diamonds and two clubs. mond tricks, he will be home.

But should he cash the top of dummy’s 10?

A priori, a 3-3 split has a probability of 35.53 percent.

Most players know that. But few will be aware that the percent of the time, making it the preferable choice.

in that suit makes. But when ing Stayman just gives the defenders extra information about declarer’s hand.

South starts with seven top tricks: one spade, one heart,

your club ace, play a diamond to dummy’s 10, cash the diamond queen, and claim nine tricks.

In general, try not to bank everything on a 3-3 split.

CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

CLASSIFIED TODAY - You may be inclined to spread yourself too thin this year. Instead, focus on your strengths and stay within the realm of possibility. Avoiding impulsivity and taking thoughtful and cautious steps forward will be the key. Think before you act.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You will have all sorts of lucrative opportunities today, but the possibility of choosing the wrong deal is apparent. Don’t think that bigger is better. Take the most conservative option.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t worry about ongoing concerns. You would be better off communicating about what needs to happen to allow an important relationship to thrive. Take on a personal challenge.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Much can be achieved today, especially regarding job prospects. An interview or chat with someone who has the power to place you in a better position will prove fortuitous.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Love and romance will likely be on your mind today. Decide what you really want, and make a move. Creative projects should not be neglected. Aesthetic changes will work out favorably.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Restlessness will be your enemy today. Don’t make adjustments that are unlikely to improve matters. Real estate and investment opportunities are present, but you need to be realistic about your finances.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It’s time to clear up any misconceptions about who you are and what you want to do. If you share your plans, you will find the support and encouragement you need.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Business matters should be your focus today. Search for a new position or a promotion at your current job. Expand your knowledge, your network and your future prospects.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You won’t have a hard time being practical today. Proceed cautiously. You may want to reflect carefully on your work as well as your personal affairs.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Make an effort to iron out matters that involve the government, banks or other institutions. Talk to an adviser about your finances.

Home improvement plans can begin today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Partnerships that will help you carry out your plans can be established.

Opportunities to make new friends are evident. Love is likely on your mind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You may find yourself caught in an emotional quagmire. You may prefer to avoid personal confrontations, but it’s wise to face your dilemma. Let go of the past and move on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your insightfulness and ability to offer excellent solutions will land you in the spotlight at any group function you attend.

Communication and travel will be the primary concerns of your day.
