CHICAGO – Icy, snow-covered roads and high winds made travel treacherous Sunday from the Dakotas and Michigan to Missouri as much of the nation braced for the next winter wallop: a dangerous cold that could break records.

A whirlpool of frigid, dense air known as a “polar vortex” was expected to suppress temperatures in more than half of the continental U.S. starting into Monday By the numbers and Tuesday, with wind chill warnSnowfall stats from ings stretching some Midwest states from Montana to Alabama.

It was 5 degrees at kickoff Sunday afternoon inside of snowfall recorded sold-out Lambeau in Chicago Field for a playoff game between the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49ers, last time city had more one of the coldest than 11 inches of snowfall ever played.

“We suited up, we brought all the snowboarding gear we use ... and added to it,” said of snowfall recorded in 49ers fan Jeff Giarthe St. Louis area dinelli of Fresno, Calif. “Without the wind, which isn’t here yet, we’re good. When of snowfall recorded in it gets windy, we’ll northern Indiana be ready for it.”

The forecast is extreme: 25 below zero in Fargo, N.D., minus 31 in International Falls, Minn., and minus 15 in Indianapolis and Chicago. Wind chills – what it feels like outside when high winds are factored into the temperature – could drop into the minus 50s and 60s. Northeastern Montana was warned of wind chills up to 59 below zero.

“It’s just a dangerous cold,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Butch Dye in Missouri.

Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard upgraded the city’s travel emergency level to “red,” making it illegal for anyone to drive except for emergency personnel, emergency purposes or seeking shelter. The last time the city issued a travel warning was during the 1978 blizzard.

Several Midwestern states received up to a foot of new snow Sunday. The National Weather Service said snowfall at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago totaled more than 11 inches as of 6 p.m. Sunday – the most since the Feb. 2, 2011, storm.

Dangerous temperatures caused many schools, libraries and park districts across McHenry County to cancel classes and programming Monday.

The National Weather Service issued a warning that a prolonged period of bitter wind chills – as low as 40 to 50 degrees below zero Sunday night into Monday afternoon – could result in frostbite and hypothermia in a matter of minutes.

The forecasted wind chills would be the lowest in nearly 20 years, the alert said.

Drifting snow and icy roads caused the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office to recommend people stay at home except in the case of an emergency, Sgt. Porfirio Campos-Cruz said.

8WATER COOLER Candy thieves flee, get nothing from warehouse HESPERIA, Calif. – For a pair of thwarted Southern California thieves, taking candy from a well-alarmed warehouse proved a lot harder than taking it from a baby.

Video surveillance captured the would-be candy swipers as they approached Candy Crate’s warehouse in Hesperia on Friday. The men broke a window and fled.

Candy Crate operations manager Randi Caporale tells the Victorville Daily Press an alarm went off that likely scared away the thieves, and “not even a Blow Pop” was taken.

Pope Francis calls nuns, gets answering machine VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis has made another one of his cold calls to wish a group of nuns in a Spanish convent Happy New Year. Only he got their answering machine, instead.

“What are the nuns doing that they can’t answer the phone?” Francis asked in the message he left, the recording of which was obtained by Spain’s El Mundo newspaper and broadcast on Italian media Saturday.

Election politics shape agenda

By DONNA CASSATA The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Congress returns to work Monday with election-year politics certain to shape an already limited agenda.

Republicans intend to focus on every facet of President Barack Obama’s health care law. They see a political boost in its problem-plagued rollout as the GOP looks to maintain its House majority and seize control of the Democratic-led Senate.

First up in the House, according to Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., is legislation addressing the security of personal data, part of his party’s effort “to protect the American people from the harmful effects of Obamacare.”

Republicans also promise closer scrutiny of the administration’s tally of enrollment numbers in the program.

Democrats will press to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 an hour and extend unemployment benefits, trying to cast the party as more concerned with the less fortunate and intent on dealing with income inequality. The issues resonate with liberals, the core Democratic voters crucial in low-turnout midterm elections.

Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the No. 2 Democrat in the House, said an extension of federal benefits for an estimated 1.3 million Americans who saw their payments stopped on Dec. 28 is more than an economic issue.

“It’s about real people, people with families struggling to put food on the table, to make ends meet, including ...

200,000 military veterans who are among these folks who are

Count On Me...

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (left) of Va., arrives for a meeting Oct. 16 with House Republicans on Capitol Hill in Washington.

“It’s about real people, people with families struggling to put food on the table, to make ends meet, including ... 200,000 military veterans who are among these folks who are losing their benefits.”

Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md. losing their benefits,” he told reporters Friday.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has scheduled a vote Monday night on legislation by Sens. Jack Reed, D-R.I., and Dean Heller, R-Nev., to extend jobless benefits for three months.

However, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said he is unsure Democrats can cobble together 60 votes needed to overcome a procedural hurdle.

“If we don’t get the 60, we will come back at this issue,” he promised.

President Barack Obama already has scheduled a White House event on Tuesday with some whose benefits expired at the end of December.

“Instead of punishing families who can least afford it,

Republicans should make it their New Year’s resolution to do the right thing and restore this vital economic security for their constituents right now,” Obama said Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address.

Republicans hinted they might go along with extending benefits if they win spending cuts from Reid elsewhere to pay for them.

“If the senator comes up with any kind of a reasonable idea to offset the $26 billion, I think that he might find some people that are willing to talk to him,” said Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz.

Schumer, one of his party’s leaders, said Democrats would prefer to pass the proposal as is – without a way to pay for it, as has been the case

for previous extensions. But he told reporters Sunday he would listen to GOP suggestions.

During a separate interview, Reid predicted widespread inaction would be the norm “unless the Republicans in Congress decide they should do something for the American people, I’m sorry to say.”

Such rancor ruled in the first session of the 113th Congress with few bills passed and sent to the president. The combination of divided government and the upcoming elections stand as an obstacle to major legislation in the second session, counting down to November when all 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats will be on the ballot.

Still, Congress must deal with some significant unfinished business before delving deep into political votes and extended breaks for campaigning.

The Senate was to vote Monday on Obama’s nomination of Janet Yellen to become the head of the Federal Reserve. If confirmed, Yellen would become the first woman to fill the powerful post, replacing Ben Bernanke.

Lawmakers face a Jan. 15 deadline to agree on a spending bill to keep the government running and avoid a partial shutdown that roiled Congress last fall. Passage of legislation in December scaling back the automatic, across-the-board cuts gave the House and Senate Appropriations Committees time to draft a massive, trillion-dollar-plus measure to run the government through September.

A short-term measure is likely this month just to let the government continue operating.

Illinois grapples with first day of bitter temperatures

Grace Hamilton

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press

Sarah Nader – snader@shawmedia.com

Grace Hamilton celebrates her 104th birthday Friday with residents at Sunrise Senior Living of Crystal Lake.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Grace Hamilton has seen a lot in her 104 years, but at least one thing has remained constant.

“Oatmeal,” Hamilton said.

“We had to have oatmeal for breakfast when I was a kid and now I still have oatmeal.”

Hamilton celebrated her 104th birthday Friday at Sunrise Senior Living in Crystal Lake.

She sat down with Northwest Herald reporter Jeff Engelhardt to reflect on her life and give sage advice to those seeking a long and happy life.

Engelhardt: So, what has been the secret to a long and happy life?

Hamilton: Always working and always eating the proper food. When my mother needed help, we helped her.

We did what we could. And I always made sure to eat good food.

[Hamilton now frequently eats dessert before dinner, which she also attributes to a long and happy life.]

Engelhardt: What kind of work did you do when you were younger?

Hamilton: I did not have a job, I would not be able to

The Hamilton lowdown n Name: Grace Hamilton n Age: 104 n Hometown: New Hampshire, Ohio, Illinois and more n Family: A lot of children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren n Favorite Hobby: Canoeing n Favorite Book: Her own collection of life stories back in that time. Maybe because I’m a stubborn person.

But the girls helped on the farm. We picked berries and vegetables and we wrapped the trees around the trunks so the rabbits could not get to them.

Engelhardt: Did you ever think you would see the kind of changes you experienced like cellphones and computers?

Hamilton: Oh no. I even wondered how everyone was going to learn to read at one time.

Engelhardt: Do you like where the world is now or do you feel a simpler time was better?

Hamilton: Well, people have so many great things now that we didn’t have

Engelhardt: After all these years, what is it that still keeps you happy today?

Hamilton: Having our family all together. I always loved when my cousins would come over when I was younger. We always had a lot of company.

expected to plummet to minus 15 degrees overnight Sunday and hover there during the day. Wind chills of 30 to 50 degrees below zero were possible Monday, National Weather Service meteorologist Ed Fenelon said.

“Everyday activities may not be feasible,” Gary Schenkel, executive director of Chicago’s Emergency Management Communication,

Engelhardt: I see you are also a writer. How long have you been writing about your experiences? Is it like a journal? [Hamilton has a collection of short stories titled ‘Creative Writings of the Past’ based on her experiences] Hamilton: I like the stories now because it helps me to remember. We saved everything back then. I have tried to influence a lot of people to write that had more interesting lives than I did.

Engelhardt: Any other advice you could give people looking to live long and happy lives?

Hamilton: Just eat good food.

Tollway to double road patrols to help motorists

Gary Schenkel Executive director of Chicago’s Emergency Management Communication

warned Sunday. “If you can stay indoors, please do so.”

Illinois Department of Transportation Secretary Ann Schneider was urging motorists to stay home and off the roads. She said those who must travel should let family members know their plans in case of emergencies.

Many of the state’s schools and colleges canceled Monday classes. Late in the day Sunday – and after weathering criticism from the Chicago Teachers Union – officials in Chicago Public Schools said it would be closed. They cited the best interest of students.

Hours at the city’s warming centers will be extended on Monday, and officials will be out encouraging the homeless to go to shelters.

“No one will be turned

then, but we had things back then that people don’t have now. We had to handwash dishes and clothes. We had a lot of work always divided among us. People don’t have that today.

8STATE BRIEF DOWNERS GROVE – The Illinois Tollway plans to double the number of road assistance patrols to help motorists stranded during the severe cold weather moving into the region.

It says it’ll have 22 vehicles patrolling the 286 miles of interstate tollways that are spread over a dozen counties in northern Illinois.

Known as Zero Weather Road Patrols, those vehicles are dispatched any time temperatures or sustained wind chills are below zero degrees.

Tollway Director Kristi Lafleur says motorists should stay with their vehicles if stranded.

CHICAGO – Illinois residents braced Sunday for a double whammy of heavy snow and bitterly cold temperatures, with authorities warning people to stay indoors and off the roads.

Five to 9 inches fell in the Chicago area by Sunday afternoon, while the St. Louis area had about a foot of snow and northern Indiana had at least 8 inches. Central Illinois was bracing for 8 to 10 inches, and southern Michigan could see up to 15 inches.

Brisk winds caused whiteout conditions in some areas, and drifting snow forced the closure of some roadways in central Illinois.

The danger won’t end Monday, with temperatures

By VERENA DOBNIK The Associated Press NEW YORK – A plane from Toronto slid into snow as it turned onto a taxiway after landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Sunday, halting flights at the airport for two hours and causing residual delays.

“It could have been worse, a much worse scenario,” Jordan Houlton told reporters after he emerged from Delta Connection 4100 along with 34 other passengers and crew members about 90 minutes after the slippery diversion of the CRJ2 aircraft.

Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said there was no immediate report of injuries after the plane landed safely at 8 a.m., only to lose its footing and slide into snow as it turned from the runway onto a taxiway.

The plane was then towed to a gate with passengers on board, she said.

Houlton, a 27-year-old teacher in Mexico, said he managed to sleep through the slide and didn’t learn until later that the plane had skidded off course.

“I was sleeping. I woke up and it was 9:30,” Houlton said.

“A police officer came on to make sure everyone was OK. Luckily, everyone was OK. It was kind of wild. I still can’t believe it.”

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the airport, said operations for domestic and international flights were suspended for about two hours because of slick runways,

“I was sleeping. I woke up and it was 9:30. A police officer came on to make sure everyone was OK. Luckily, everyone was OK. It was kind of wild. I still can’t believe it.”

Jordan Houlton Delta Connection 4100 passenger

leaving passengers at crowded gates. Flights resumed after 10 a.m. on two of the airport’s four runways, but residual delays for passengers were expected to linger.

The landing came two days after a major snowstorm dumped a half foot of snow in New York City, forcing the cancellation of hundreds of flights and stranding passengers both in the city and throughout the world who were heading to New York.

Passengers from canceled flights continued to fill the few remaining seats on many planes already crowded by holiday travelers.

The Delta Connection flight by Endeavor Air originated in Toronto. Endeavor Air was formerly Pinnacle Airlines.

The flight also came a day after a small plane traveling to Connecticut after a tour of the Statue of Liberty made an emergency landing on the Major Deegan Expressway in the Bronx. Neither the pilot nor his two passengers were seriously injured.

Fighting between Iraqi troops, al-Qaida kills 34

By QASSIM ABDUL–ZAHRA and SINAN SALAHEDDIN The Associated Press BAGHDAD – The Iraqi military tried to dislodge al-Qaida militants in Sunni-dominated Anbar province Sunday, unleashing airstrikes and besieging the regional capital in fighting that killed at least 34 people, officials said. A series of bombs in Shiite neighborhoods of Baghdad, meanwhile, killed at least 20 people.

The recent gains by the insurgents have been a blow to the Shiite-led government – as sectarian violence has escalated since the U.S. withdrawal.

U.S. Secretary of State John

Kerry said Washington was “very, very concerned” by the fighting but would not send in American troops.

Video of the airstrikes in Anbar – apparently taken by aircraft at night – was released

by Iraq’s Defense Ministry showing al-Qaida hideouts being bombarded.

A ministry statement said the air force struck a militants’ hideout overnight, identifying them as belonging to the alQaida-linked Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, which the government refers to as “terrorists.”

The army and allied tribesmen also fought al-Qaida militants around the provincial

capital of Ramadi on Sunday, two Anbar government officials told The Associated Press by telephone. They said 22 soldiers and 12 civilians were killed, along with an unknown number of militants, and 58 people were wounded. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters.

Clans inside the city of Fallujah have started to form brigades, they said, and some of the factions who fought the Americans following the U.S.led invasion a decade ago say they do not want the Iraqi army to enter the city.

There was no fighting inside the city on Sunday.

Numerous reports of cars in ditches • CANCELLATIONS Continued from page A1 Police have been responding to numerous reports of cars ending up in ditches, causing property damage, he said. He was not aware of any accidents with serious injuries as of Sunday evening.

While the plows have been keeping up with the snow in many places, a lack of obstructions in areas with open fields, in particular west of Route 47, has caused blowing snow to limit visibility, Campos-Cruz said.

“It is dangerous out there due to the weather conditions,” he said. “As long as there’s wind, road conditions will continue to not improve.”

Customers visited Bjorkman’s Ace Hardware in McHenry in steady waves Sunday, prepping for the arctic blast, store manager Gary Morley said.

“It’s been busy,” he said.

“They are buying window in-

“It is dangerous out there due to the weather conditions. As long as there’s wind, road conditions will continue to not improve.”

Sgt. Porfirio Campos-Cruz McHenry County Sheriff’s Office sulating kits. They’re buying stuff for their cars.”

Morley recommended that everyone make sure their carbon monoxide detectors are working, especially because some will be using stoves or portable heating devices for extra heat.

In the basement of Bethany Lutheran Church in Crystal Lake, about 40 people checked in at the PADS homeless shelter Sunday night, a number lower than normal, said the site manager, who goes by Linda Bethany to shelter visitors.

“When it’s this cold, friends

will let them spend a night,” she said.

Most arrived at 7 p.m., right when the doors opened, Bethany said. Others will be brought in by police during the night or after they end up at the hospital because of a fall.

The shelter offers a place to shower and sleep. Volunteers served up chili, hot dogs, fruit, cookies, cake and some goofing around. The Blackhawks game played on a TV. First United Methodist Church of Crystal Lake will be open as a warming site during the day Monday, joining Willow Creek Community Church, which is normally open during the winter months.

“If we’re here, the police don’t have to deal with all the people on the street,” Bethany said. “They might have found them frozen or dead. We give them a place to go that’s warm and hopefully more friendly. ... We always have room even if they have to sleep on the floor.”

Expected overnight low: minus 15 • COLD WEATHER Continued from page A1 The St. Louis area had about a foot of snow and northern Indiana had at least 8 inches.

Officials closed several Illinois roadways because of drifting snow and warned residents to stay inside.

Roads in the Midwest were particularly dangerous, and officials in Missouri said it was too cold for rock salt to be very effective.

Authorities also urged people to check on elderly and disabled relatives and neighbors.

In Chicago, temperatures were expected to bottom out around minus 15 overnight, likely setting a daily record, National Weather Service meteorologist Ed Fenelon said. Earlier Sunday, temperatures sank to minus 20

and colder in northern Minnesota and Grand Forks, N.D. It hasn’t been this cold for almost two decades in many parts of the country. Frostbite and hypothermia can set in quickly at 15 to 30 below zero.

Lorna West, a 43-year-old student and consultant from Columbus, Ohio, said she doesn’t believe people unaccustomed to such weather are ready for what’s coming.

A Chicago native, she said thermal underwear, lots of layers and “Eskimo coats” with zipped hoods to block the wind were the norm growing up.

“And don’t go out if you don’t have to,” she said.

In Michigan, residents jammed stores to stock up on supplies.

“I made my husband go grocery shopping last night,” said Kim Tarnopol, 46, of the

Detroit suburb of Huntington Woods. Tarnopol was picking up cold medicine Sunday for her daughter Emma at a CVS in nearby Berkley, Mich.

About 1,300 flights had been canceled Sunday at O’Hare and Midway international airports in Chicago, aviation officials said, and there also were cancellations at Logan International Airport in Boston, Tennessee’s Memphis and Nashville international airports, and Lambert international airport in St. Louis.

Chicago Public School officials reversed course late in the day Sunday, canceling classes for Monday ahead of the expected bitterly cold temperatures. The change in plans came amid criticism from the Chicago Teachers Union, though officials say they made the decision after they “evaluated the situation again.”

Must rein in the NSA President Barack Obama has a clearly defined mission in 2014. Protect Americans from the wretched excesses of the National Security Agency.

The NSA ostensibly was created to keep U.S. citizens from harm. Recently a panel of security and surveillance experts made it clear Americans must be shielded from unchecked invasions of privacy by the NSA. No one is paying attention as the NSA vacuums up stunning amounts of telephone and online data every 90 days and stores it for five years, The New York Times reported.

How the information is used and who has access to it is not well understood. Tensions are even surfacing with foreign allies who have varying security links.

The phone companies, and other data sources, turn over the information on the broadest of directions from the NSA’s lap-dog surveillance court. Is anyone acting on the basis of probable cause or some level of suspicion? No. The panel of experts briefed Obama. One can hope he will address the concerns of a former national security adviser in Democrat and Republican administrations, privacy and constitutional specialists, and a former deputy director of the CIA. The trauma of 9/11 prepared Americans to accept some new, intensive level of security surveillance in dangerous times. The nation naively expected the newly created Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to scrutinize government requests to monitor telephone and online traffic.

Obama must protect the country from internal security abuses. Congress has legislative powers of executive oversight and the budget.

Use both to rein in the NSA. The NSA has a mission, but the agency cannot be allowed to ignore basic rights and freedoms.

Roosevelt had many impacts on society On this day (Jan. 6) in 1919, cowboy, historian, politician, “Rough Rider,” explorer and 26th U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt died at age 60 in his sleep – apparently from a blood clot in his lungs – at his Sagamore Hill estate in Oyster Bay, N.Y. Born Oct. 27, 1858, in New York City into the wealthy family of philanthropist Theodore Roosevelt Sr. and socialite Martha “Mittie” Bulloch, Teddy (as he was called in his youth) overcame his early physical weaknesses and ailments by adopting a lifestyle that included strenuous daily physical workouts, learning to box, a willingness to take risks, and nurturing an intense, innate curiosity that had few bounds.

Roosevelt’s inquisitive hyperactivity resulted in becoming interested in – and even an expert in – a wide variety of fields and activities. Setting aside his obvious and wellknown accomplishments and adventures as a politician, statesman, cowboy, diplomat, and “warrior,” Roosevelt could, and indeed should, be remembered and admired for his work as a conservationist, his historical writings, his expertise and contributions to the study of natural science, his interest in and contributions to the fine arts, and his many travel adventures (sometimes misadventures).

On many levels, the extraordinarily disciplined Roosevelt was a dynamo man of controversy, inconsistencies, broad intellectual interests, and great political acumen

ON THIS DAY Joseph C. Morton who used his manifold talents and abilities to make an impact (usually for good) on many facets of American society.

He is always ranked, by historians and political scientists, as one of the most interesting, intelligent, accomplished, and noteworthy presidents in U.S. history. During his threescore years, Roosevelt experienced numerous joys and more than his share of sorrows.

The joys included his loving parents and privileged upbringing, his devoted family (six adoring children), two happy marriages (first wife: Alice Hathaway Lee; second wife: Edith Kermit Carow), and the adoration, respect, and high regard of the American people.

The sorrows included the lamentable early death of his first wife, with whom he had one daughter – the incomparable future Washington socialite Alice Longworth – the death of his 47-year-old father whom he greatly loved and respected, the death of his 50 year-old mother (she died the same day as his first wife in 1884), and the death of his youngest son, Quentin, who was killed in France in 1918.

Despite the trials and tribulations of his

extraordinarily active and exciting life, Roosevelt wrote after the deaths of his first wife and mother that “no man has ... a happier life than I have ... A happier life in every way.”

This “happier life” began as the somewhat spoiled oldest son of his wealthy, aristocratic parents. Primarily because of his weak physical condition (most notably severe asthma and poor eyesight), Roosevelt was home-schooled.

During these formative years, he displayed a keen interest and aptitude for his academic subjects, particularly zoology and history.

In 1876, Roosevelt entered Harvard, where he excelled academically and from where he graduated in 1880 (21st out of 177) with a Phi Beta Kappa key. A two-year stint at the Columbia University Law School ended mainly because he found his legal studies boring.

In reflecting upon her famous, adventurous father, Longworth called him “the perfect leader for an imperial age.” (The late 19th and early 20th centuries.) However, she went on to say, “We wonder, a bit ruefully, how he would fit into our own.” (Mid-20th century.)

‘American Hustle’ is better than the real story “American Hustle,” which may be the best two hours you’ll spend at the movies, sets the stage with its opening: “Some of this actually happened.”

The film is loosely based on the 1980 Abscam scandal, which resulted in the conviction of a U.S. senator and six members of Congress. “American Hustle” is engagingly brilliant; the scandal, and the actions of the government back then, were disturbing.

As an avid, if thoroughly amateur, movie buff, my bet is that “American Hustle” and “12 Years a Slave” are the leading candidates for the Academy Awards. Several of the actors in “American Hustle” should be near-locks for awards; their performances were off the charts.

The movie tells the story of the con man (named Irving Rosenfeld in the movie, Melvin Weinberg in real life), who was a central figure in Abscam, and some of the operation’s zealous federal agents. “American Hustle” depicts the pathology and the complexities of some of these figures, including a bribe-taking

VIEWS Albert R. Hunt mayor who cares passionately about his constituents. This sounds incongruous; it isn’t.

Abscam, however, was a travesty, a case of prosecutorial abuse. Some of the guys caught by the operation were bad; that doesn’t excuse entrapment. Federal officials, working with the con man, devised a scheme in which a fake Arab sheik would spread financial largess in return for favors from politicians.

The operation was created by the government; it wasn’t a sting aimed at exposing a sleazy ongoing deal; it was invented. Moreover, if the politician resisted, there were added inducements.

The convictions were upheld by the courts, despite some reservations. Looking back at Abscam three decades later, this wasn’t a corruption-discouraging prosecution. It was a scam run by the federal government.

To be sure, there were

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

delicious moments in real life.

Richard Kelly, a representative from Florida, was caught on tape stuffing thousands of dollars of bribes into his coat pockets and asking, “Does it show?” He later explained that he took the money because he was conducting his own investigation.

There is a great line in the movie from the con man: “When you are offered a favor or money, take the favor, not the money. Jesus said that, didn’t he?”

Not sure that measures up, however, to the actual observation – captured on tape – of Pennsylvania Rep. Ozzie Myers: “Money talks and [expletive] walks.”

(An aside about Ozzie, who was sent to the slammer: He was an accidental congressman, appointed by the Philadelphia Democratic machine when the incumbent, Bill Barrett, died two weeks before the 1976 primary election. During those two weeks, I interviewed the Democratic boss of South Philadelphia, Henry Cianfrani, about the presidential primary and

Looking back at Abscam three decades later, this wasn’t a corruptiondiscouraging prosecution.

It was a scam run by the federal government. casually asked if he was worried about the House contest. “No,” he quickly replied. “There’ll be a big nostalgia vote for Bill.” Barrett got 75 percent of the vote.)

Myers wasn’t an admirable public servant; a few of those caught in Abscam were.

Some reforms were enacted after these prosecutions, but these fake scams still are employed today in terrorism and drug cases.

And the $75,000 in Abscam bribes seem like chump change compared with the legal bribes that politicians now take every day.

BOYS SWIMMING

Schopen, Braun set pace for promising McHenry sophs

By PATRICK MASON pmason@shawmedia.com Despite having only two seniors on the roster, McHenry boys swimming coach Craig Fowles raved about his team at the beginning of the season because of the strength of the sophomore class.

The sophomores, headlined by distance swimmer Trey Schopen and sprinter Kevin Braun, broke three freshman/sophomore school records early in the season and are continu-

ing to drop time close to state qualifying standards. Fowles said this group has the chance to do something special.

“This is a group full of speed,” he said.

“It’s probably the best entire class I’ve ever Trey coached.”

After a promis- Schopen ing freshman season, Schopen and Braun took a serious approach to their training in hopes of

reaching a common goal of the state meet. The added work has helped them drop time and be more competitive this season.

Schopen, who started swimming competitively at age 5, worked in the pool with his Kevin father, Pete. Despite Braun never swimming himself, Pete Schopen learned a lot about the sport watching his son throughout the years. The

two made the decision to switch from sprint events to distance events when Schopen was 12 because he wasn’t seeing any drops in time. He found his niche in the distance events after making big strides.

Schopen also has been a more confident person during his sophomore year, and it has translated into a comfortableness in the pool. He also has started lifting weights regularly for the first time and has packed on some muscle to his 5-foot-10 frame. The added lifting has helped with his pull and

has made him more effective during 100-yard butterfly and the 200 and 500 freestyle events.

“I thought high school would be kind of intimidating as a freshman, and it really was at first,” he said. “But now I’m a sophomore and I’m used to it and more comfortable when I’m racing, and it’s been a lot better.

“I’m taking swimming more seriously than I ever have, and it’s been really fun.”

NFC WILD CARD: 49ERS 23, PACKERS 20

Left out in the cold

C-G grad Bart finds success at a distance

The confidence never wavered,” coach Mike McCarthy said. “We weren’t quite good enough today.”

Mason Crosby’s 24-yard field goal tied it at 20 for the Packers (8-8-1) with 5:06 left before the 49ers’ final drive.

Until then, Rodgers did his best to turn into “Captain Comeback” again. After a slow first quarter, Rodgers finished 17 of 26 with an interception.

Kaepernick connected with a spinning Vernon Davis down the seam for a 28-yard touchdown pass with 10:39 left. The score quickly answered John Kuhn’s 1-yard touchdown run that briefly gave the Packers a four-point lead.

That TD was set up after Rodgers, in the clutches of a 49ers defender, somehow managed to escape a sack on fourth-and-2 and found Randall Cobb for a 26-yard gain to the Niners 4.

“I felt a guy swiping at the ball, so I tried to pull it away from him and was being grabbed,” Rodgers said.

Next thing he knew, he was free, “so I just moved to my right and saw Randall and threw it to him.”

Eddie Lacy ran for 81 yards on 21 carries for the Packers, while Frank Gore had 66 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries for the 49ers.

Liz Bart’s home on the basketball court is about 20 feet away from the basket.

She is so comfortable beyond the 3-point line that after missing three layups in a recent game, Bart was questioned by her coach at Olivet Nazarene University, Lauren Stamatis, about the misses.

“I came to the bench and she said, ‘What’s going on?’ ” said Liz Bart Bart, a CaryGrove graduate who is a senior guard for the Tigers.

“I said, ‘I’m sorry for missing the layups.’ ” Stamatis reminded Bart that the most dangerous part of her game is shooting 3-pointers.

“I said, ‘You mean I can just stop at the 3-point line and shoot instead of taking a layup?’ ” Bart asked.

Bart is such a threat that she entered this week as the national leader in NAIA Division II in total 3-pointers (64) and 3s a game (4.57).

“If she’s indoors, she’s open,” Stamatis joked. “We let her shoot from anywhere.”

Bart, a 41 percent shooter from long range, has helped ONU to a 10-6 record and seven wins in its past eight games. She averages a career-high 16.4 points a game, which ranks second on a fastpaced squad that scores 109.6 points and shoots almost 50 3-pointers per game.

To sharpen her shooting eye, Bart said she added an extra duty to her offseason workouts, which included five days a week of running and three weightlifting days.

“I’m not much for dribbling, so I focused on making 100 3s a day after each workout,” Bart said. “My brother, T.J., rebounded for me, so it didn’t take long.”

Bart scored her 1,000th career point Dec. 20 against Madonna University and had a season-high 33 points – including 10 3-pointers – in a 133-92 victory Nov. 22 against Mid-Continent University.

She is on pace to demolish her career-high total of 98 made 3-pointers from last season.

San Francisco 49ers players celebrate Sunday after Phil Dawson (center) kicked the winning field goal against the Packers in Green Bay, Wis. The 49ers won, 23-20.

Packers fall to 49ers in playoff opener at frigid Lambeau

Green Bay in a PAGES B6-7 23-20 win.

“Personally, it’s frustrating not to play your best game. Tough conditions,” Rodgers said. “But defense holds them to 23 points – we should win that game.”

Phil Dawson kicked a 33-yard field goal as time expired, and Kaepernick threw for 227 yards and ran for another 98.

In a back-and-forth fourth quarter, the 49ers (13-4) threw the final punch. Kaepernick escaped a blitz on third-and-8 and scrambled for an 11-yard gain to the 27 with 1:13 left.

A fan holds a sign during the first half of Sunday’s playoff game in Green Bay, Wis. to get that first down,” Kaepernick said. “Had a play called, we didn’t get the look that we wanted. It worked out for us.”

Dawson nailed the winning kick five plays later – but only after nearly being blocked by edge rusher Davon House. He was whistled for offsides on the play, but the 49ers declined the penalty with the win in hand.

The defending NFC champions came away with a huge win in conditions that resembled a meat locker.

It was 5 degrees at kickoff, and the winds made it feel like minus 10.

San Francisco plays at Carolina next Sunday in the divisional round.

The Packers pack up for the offseason Monday. A season full of adversity, which included nearly two months without Rodgers because of a left collarbone injury, came to an end.

And yet, Green Bay still finished the season 3-1 with dramatic, comefrom-behind wins to nudge its way back into the playoffs.

“This is what playoff football is all about. We’ve been playing these kind of games here the last month.

Racing pigeon club pursues new members You may not see pigeon racing on ESPN, but don’t tell anyone involved that it’s not a sport.

Part training elite athletes and part having a pet, pigeon racing has been around for centuries. The homing pigeon has long been utilized for messaging and was used extensively in both World Wars. In the ancient Olympics, pigeons were used to inform villages of the winners of the events.

Adam Kuhn has been raising pigeons since he was a kid in Chicago.

He began racing pigeons this past year and is the secretary for the 20th Century Racing Pigeon Club based in Woodstock.

“It’s definitely a sport,” Kuhn said. “It’s fun, but you have to love pigeons.”

Competitions determine how fast a pigeon can make it from a common release point back to his home loft.

Electronic sensors are placed on the birds and record their time and rate of speed. Races can be anywhere from 100 to 500 miles in length and include hundreds of birds.

Pigeons can fly 50 to 60 mph and faster depending on wind speed and direction.

To anyone who has chased a runaway cat or dog, having a pet that automatically returns home definitely has some appeal.

“It’s fascinating to watch them fly,” 20th Century President Bruce Vogrinc said. “And fascinating to have a tame bird come back.”

Vogrinc was introduced to pigeon racing by his father and has continued the tradition. He said one of the best parts for him and his wife is seeing their birds return home.

“It’s a sport, but it’s also a love. We love the pet aspect.” Vogrinc said. “We just enjoy watching them come in. To

know they went 400 miles is exciting.”

Vogrinc said you definitely get attached to the birds. He said he can whistle at his birds during a training exercise and they will come back to him to eat.

“They all have different personalities,” Vogrinc said. “Some are very affectionate. Others are a little bit more flighty.”

The most important part of training is simply keeping the pigeons healthy, Vogrinc said. Exercise is also important. He often drives to Rockford to release his birds for training runs.

New racers get shorter training runs before their first race but nothing close to a race distance.

“They love to fly,” Vogrinc said.

“Their first race they go 100 miles and they’ve never been that far.”

For a pigeon with a good racing pedigree, the price can be many thousands of dollars. Comparatively, a

normal pair of pigeons can be bought for around $25.

There are two seasons for pigeon racing. The old or experienced pigeons race in the spring, starting in April for 10 weeks. The rookies race in the fall, starting in August.

The club is actively seeking new members, especially younger ones.

They are also looking to partner with 4H clubs and help kids get started in the sport.

“Our sport is getting smaller and smaller every year because our members are dying off,” Kuhn said. “I encourage anybody to race and have fun in the sport.”

For information about 20th Century or pigeon racing, contact Kuhn at 815-769-8515 or Vogrinc at 815-793-8031.

PARIS – A French state prosecutor said Sunday he wants to obtain an alleged mobile-phone video of a skiing accident that critically injured Formula One legend Michael Schumacher.

Schumacher’s fall at the Meribel ski resort in the French Alps eight days ago, in which he hit his head on a rock, has left the 45-year-old in a medically induced coma for a severe brain trauma. Questions have emerged about the circumstances of the accident, and Schumacher’s manager, Sabine Kehm, announced Saturday that his family has given French authorities a camera affixed to his helmet to help elucidate the case.

Albertville prosecutor Patrick Quincy told The Associated Press by phone that French investigators are also taking steps to obtain a copy of a smartphone video cited in a report by German news magazine Der Spiegel.

Badgers keep record perfect Iowa coach McCaffery ejected MADISON, Wis. – Ben Brust scored 19 points, and No. 4 Wisconsin remained unbeaten with a 75-71 Big Ten victory over No. 22 Iowa on Sunday night.

Wisconsin (15-0 overall, 2-0 Big Ten) matched the best start in school history, tying the 1911-12 and 1913-14 teams.

The game was physical at times, drawing loud protests from both coaches. But Iowa coach Fran McCaffery boiled over after a foul was called on Gabriel Olaseni that sent Nigel Hayes to the line.

McCaffery was ejected with 12 minutes to play after two technical fouls were called. He continued to confront the officials as his assistants tried to restrain him.

Brust then hit all four free throws off the technical fouls, and Hayes converted one of two

on the personal.

That turned a 41-39 Iowa lead into 44-41 Wisconsin advantage. Hayes then scored on a drive to cap a 12-2 run.

Iowa would not go away.

After Hayes missed a wild shot, Roy Marble, who led Iowa (12-3, 1-1) with 27 points, collected the outlet pass and drilled a 3 to pull the Hawkeyes within 64-63 with just less than 3 minutes to go.

But Sam Dekker answered right back. He grabbed a miss

by Brust, got the ball back later in the possession and drained a 3 to put Wisconsin up 67-63.

Aaron White failed to convert on a layup on Iowa’s next possession, and both teams traded missed 3s before Dekker converted a three-point play off a fast break. That pushed Wisconsin’s lead to 70-63 with 1:07 left, and Wisconsin held off Iowa’s final flurry.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL: MIDWEST ROUNDUP

McGary-less Michigan blows out Northwestern The ASSOCIATED PRESS ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Jordan Morgan and Jon Horford combined for 15 points and 16 rebounds.

Mitch McGary-type numbers, in other words.

Michigan won again without McGary, the star big man who is out indefinitely with a back injury. Nik Stauskas scored 18 points in Sunday’s

74-51 victory over Northwestern – and Morgan and Horford both filled in well down low.

The Wolverines (10-4 overall, 2-0 Big Ten) have won six straight over the Wildcats, and this victory wasn’t much different than Michigan’s two routs last season. Northwestern (7-8, 0-2) trailed by only seven at the half but couldn’t keep up. Morgan had eight

points and eight rebounds, while Horford added seven points and eight rebounds.

Morgan played 18 minutes and Horford played 20.

Amid a major snowstorm in the Ann Arbor area, Michigan and Northwestern played in front of a quiet crowd with plenty of empty seats.

Drew Crawford led the Wildcats with 17 points, but scored only four of them in

the second half.

Minnesota 82, Purdue 79: At Minneapolis, Austin Hollins had 18 points and nine rebounds, and Minnesota (123, 1-1) went 23 for 27 from the free-throw line to hang on for a victory over Purdue (10-5, 0-2), the first in the Big Ten for new coach Richard Pitino.

Loyola 89, Missouri St. 57: At Chicago, Devon Turk hit five 3-pointers and scored a

career-high 30 points as Missouri Valley Conference newcomer Loyola earned its first MVC victory, beating Missouri State (11-3, 1-1).

Loyola (6-8, 1-1) snapped a three-game losing streak.

Illinois St. 66, S. Illinois 48: At Normal, Zach Lofton scored 18 points and Illinois State (86, 1-1 MVC) pulled away from Southern Illinois (4-11, 0-2) in the second half.

McHenry’s Madson top rebounder Schopen, Braun close in • ON CAMPUS Continued from page B1 “She’s been a real consistent leader for us,” Stamatis said. “And, she’s such a positive person. She’s always happy.”

Stamatis said the Tigers have benefited this season from having a group of male athletes to practice against each day.

“They really work on running at Liz and our shooters from all different angles – from the side, from behind,” Stamatis said.

With the men’s practice team simulating defenders during game conditions, Stamatis has noticed more confidence in Bart.

“I see the confidence in how much space she needs to get a shot off and the focus she has when the guys are running at her,” Stamatis said.

Bart’s confidence, in turn, has grown, thanks to playing with almost the same “shift” of players through her career.

The Tigers regularly substitute five players at a time to keep fresh athletes on the floor and wear down

opponents.

“From year to year, you learn more about the people you play with,” Bart said.

“That gives you a lot more confidence. There are four seniors and one freshman on my shift, and we’ve done really well. That gives you confidence in everybody on the team.”

Lake Forest leader Madson: McHenry’s Brian Madson is the leading rebounder this season for D-III Lake Forest College’s men’s basketball team.

Madson, a junior forward, is averaging 5.8 rebounds to go along with his 10.2 points a game for the Foresters (3-7).

In a 71-68 win Nov. 30 against Ripon, Madson pulled down a season-best 11 rebounds. His season-best total of 20 points came Nov. 23 in a 92-89 loss to Macalester.

Signs of spring: The nation’s first D-III baseball preseason poll was released last week, and two Illinois schools were recognized.

Collegiate Baseball Newspaper’s poll included Concordia University Chicago at No. 13 and Augustana College at No. 22.

AUSTIN, Texas – Charlie Strong left a Louisville program that needed to punch its way into the national spotlight for the Texas Longhorns, who live smack in the middle with their enormous wealth, swagger, political intrigue and championship expectations.

And that’s just the off-the-field stuff.

On the field, he inherits a team mired in mediocrity with a 30-21 record over the last four years, but still talented enough to come within 30 minutes of winning a share of the 2013 Big 12 title.

Strong will be introduced as the Texas football coach Monday.

In a statement released by the school Sunday, Strong said he was excited to be taking over one of the “premier programs” in the country.

Strong leaves Louisville to take Texas football job

Concordia is coming off a season in which it posted the highest winning percentage (.848) in D-III and won three NCAA regional games, a first in school history. The Cougars (39-7) are the defending Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference regular-season and tournament champions.

Among Concordia’s top returnees is junior third baseman Steve Zubrzycki of Marian Central, who batted .338 last season with 24 RBIs and posted a .419 on-base percentage.

Augustana (34-11) won the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin tournament and was two wins shy of qualifying for the NCAA’s D-III World Series.

Among the returnees for the Vikings is sophomore pitcher Jamie Rammel (McHenry), who was 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA last season.

on state qualifying times • SWIMMING Continued from page B1 The results have shown.

The sophomore is just two seconds off the state qualifying time in the 100 butterfly and a handful of seconds off in both distance events. With a strong rest of the season, he hopes to make the Warriors a household name in the sport for the next few years.

In contrast to Schopen, who has been swimming most of his life, Braun found the sport a different way.

Braun remembered when his older brother became really interested in swimming because it was then when he, too, was introduced to the sport.

He remembers watching Michael Phelps collect eight gold medals in the 2008 Summer Olympics. Soon after, his brother began swimming. Seeing the sport as a good, healthy outlet, and being a former swimmer herself, Braun’s mother decided to push her other kids into the sport.

“My mom made the rest of us swim,” Braun said.

“She was a swimmer in high school, so she knew about the sport, but I never expected myself to follow, and I ended up liking it.”

Braun has been swimming with club teams ever since, and now the sophomore is in the middle of a breakout season and is poised to make a run at qualifying for the state meet.

The 6-4 sprinter is less than a second off the 50 freestyle state standard and just two seconds off the 100 freestyle standard.

With all of the success, Braun has found it hard to not think about the future and what he and his teammates can accomplish despite still having unrealized goals this season.

“It’s pretty cool what we’ve done so far,” he said.

“I’m always anticipating what we will be like when we’re seniors. I know we have a lot of potential, but we have to make sure to work hard to realize it.”

SAN DIEGO – The San Diego Padres said Hall of Fame broadcaster Jerry Coleman, a former major league ballplayer whose pro career was interrupted by two wars, died after a brief illness. He was 89.

Padres president Mike Dee said Coleman died at a hospital Sunday afternoon. He said the team was notified by Coleman’s wife, Maggie.

“It’s hard to put into words what Jerry meant to this franchise,” Dee said.

Coleman spent more than 70 years in pro baseball, a career that included four World Series titles with the New York Yankees and was interrupted by World War II and the Korean War, when he served as a Marine Corps pilot. He flew 120 missions combined in the two wars.

Beloved Portugese soccer giant Eusebio dies at 71 LISBON, Portugal – A half century later, Eusebio’s goals are still a source of wonder in the country where he stood above all others in his sport.

Eusebio da Silva Ferreira, who was born into poverty in Africa and became one of the world’s top scorers during the 1960s, died Sunday at 71. He died at his Lisbon home of heart failure, his biographer, Jose Malheiro, said.

U.S. teen Shiffrin wins slalom in snow, rain BORMIO, Italy – American teenager Mikaela Shiffrin fought through soft snow, rain and deep ruts to win her second World Cup slalom of the season Sunday.

Shiffrin, 18, led by 0.03 seconds after the opening run and ending up winning by 0.13 ahead of Maria Pietilae-Holmner of Sweden for the sixth victory of her career.

Hewitt upsets Federer to win Brisbane title BRISBANE, Australia – Lleyton Hewitt’s 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 win Sunday over Roger Federer, his longest-standing rival on tour, was clearly an upset, and delivered him his first title since 2010. The 32-year-old former No. 1s have met 27 times dating to 1999, and Hewitt has nine wins against the 17-time Grand Slam champion.

And while a third period offensive surge showed that the Hawks are talented enough to go off offensively at any time, the team blew a one-goal lead and eventually lost, 3-2, in a shootout.

The Sharks won the shootout, 2-0.

The Hawks scored two goals within 2:34 of each other in the third period. Defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson scored on a slap shot in the slot after receiving a pass from center Jonathan Toews at 1:27 in the third period.

PGA: TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS

Spieth part of 3-way tie with 18 to go

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press KAPALUA, Hawaii – Webb Simpson wanted to give his caddie something good to see on TV. He delivered a 5-under-par 68 that gave Simpson a three-way tie for the lead with Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth going into the final round of the Tournament of Champions.

Simpson said he played with a heavy heart Sunday upon learning the newborn son of his caddie, Paul Tesori, was in intensive care. He said players and caddies were sending along their best to Tesori, and that Simpson rarely went a hole without thinking about him. But he played some good golf on a beautiful day, getting into the mix of a wild tournament.

Johnson and Spieth each had a 69 to join Simpson at 14-under 205.

Zach Johnson stumbled to a 74 and was two back.

Next for the Hawks New York Rangers at Hawks, 7 p.m.

Wednesday, NBCSN, AM-720 peared to catch the Sharks in the middle of a line change, defenseman Michal Rozsival scored off a slap shot at 4:01 that was assisted by Marcus Kruger.

San Jose’s Brent Burns tied the score at 2, the result of going unmarked after Hjalmarsson was crosschecked.

Through much of the first two periods the Hawks struggled to get quality chances in front of the San Jose net and never went on the power play.

That caused coach Joel Quenneville to tinker with his lines beginning in the second period, most notably moving third-line center Andrew Shaw to the second line. The Hawks managed 12 shots on goal but failed to score.

The team managed to stay in the game thanks to the goaltending of Corey Crawford who stopped all 15 San Jose shots in the second period. Before injuring his groin, which kept him out 10 games, Crawford had an upand-down season.

Saturday’s performance was a step toward gaining some of the consistency he showed last season. That kind of performance, which came against a San Jose team that can overwhelm the net and averaged a leaguehigh 35.9 shots a game head-

ing into Sunday, is sure to build his confidence.

“They’ve always been an attack team and they put a lot of pucks at the net, they go to the net hard, the D are very active off the rush and at the points,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said at the team’s morning skate Sunday. “Some teams are a little bit more patient but I would say they are a fast, attacking team and play a speed game.”

San Jose scored first when defenseman Jason Demers one-timed a Logan Couture pass from in back of the Hawks’ net at 10:12 in the first period.

The Hawks played well defensively through the first nine minutes of the first period – outshooting the Sharks 7-1 at one point during the period – until

Jonathan Toews committed a turnover in the Hawks’ zone.

Near the boards, Toews made a pass across the zone that was intercepted by Sharks center John McCarthy in the slot. McCarthy immediately put a shot a goal that was stopped by Corey Crawford who made a great save. But that play appeared to spark San Jose offensively and ultimately led to Demers’ goal.

“They’ve always been a high-energy team, highspeed team like that,” Toews said at the Sunday morning skate. “You watch them on the power play; it’s very similar to their team game.

They’re always moving, they’ve always got their feet moving. Pretty much their whole team can skate pretty well.”

Despite how much of the scoring punch the Blackhawks’ top line provides, Jonathan Toews, Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa sometimes find themselves leaning on the often-overlooked third line for support.

Any of those three will tell you that one line never assumes the burden on a championship team. That’s probably the best example of the Hawks’ talent and depth.

On Sunday against the San Jose Sharks, the Hawks put out a third line of Bryan Bickell, Andrew Shaw and Kris Versteeg, who was moved back to the third line after coach Joel Quenneville moved left wing Brandon Saad to the second line.

While most teams use their third line primarily for defense, Bickell, Shaw and Versteeg can score. ‘‘You don’t have a record like we did last year and win the Stanley Cup without a group of guys that every single night is scoring goals and making plays and doing the things we need for a team to win,’’ Toews said of the Hawks’ third line. ‘‘Maybe that’s going unnoticed. So I think it’s been the same thing this year.’’

Bickell missed 14 games with a knee injury and hasn’t looked fully healthy since coming back. He has two points since returning to the lineup Dec. 17 and hasn’t brought the kind of physicality he should at 6-4, 233 pounds. ‘‘Every game is getting better,’’ Bickell said. ‘‘It’s an injury that you never want, but it’s good to take time. I feel it was a progress every day, every practice, every game. So as long as we’re winning, it feels good.’’

Reassigned: As expected, the Hawks reassigned goalie Jason LaBarbera to the Rockford IceHogs on Saturday. LaBarbera had been the backup to Antti Raanta while Corey Crawford was nursing a groin injury.

Raanta’s emergence in Crawford’s absence solidified his spot on the roster. There was some discussion as to whether Raanta would benefit more from being Rockford’s starter than Crawford’s backup. But Quenneville said Wednesday he was comfortable keeping Raanta with the Hawks.

BULLS

Fans’ disinterest hasn’t trickled down to players

By MARK POTASH mpotash@suntimes.com Over the past two weeks, the Bulls are tied for the second-best record in the Eastern Conference (5-2). If the playoffs started today, the sixth-seeded Bulls would face the third-seeded Atlanta Hawks in a very winnable first-round playoff series.

The catch is that nobody seems to care.

Though the United Next Center was almost full on a bad-weather Phoenix at night in Chicago, the Bulls, 7 p.m.

Bulls beat is lifeless Tuesday, WGN, right now. Victories AM-1000 over the Celtics and Hawks don’t resonate any more than losses to the Mavericks and Raptors. The biggest news is Joakim Noah walking into the other team’s locker room. Since Derrick Rose’s injury, it’s difficult to not only figure out which direction the team is headed, but which direction it should be headed.

But while Chicago anticipates the opening of spring training, the NFL draft and the start of the Stanley Cup playoffs, Tom Thibodeau and the Bulls are ignoring the disinterest and working, winning and believing they will one day be a factor. An ‘‘ugly’’ victory over the Hawks on Saturday night –

by Noah’s own description – was just one small step. No big surprise, but this team thinks there more there than meets the eye.

“I think there’s a lot more,” Noah said. “There’s a lot of time. A lot of basketball left. We’re just happy we got the ‘W’ tonight. We feel like the potential is there. Now it’s on us go execute on the court.”

With Rose out for the season, the Bulls are operating without the burden or the motivation of high-expectations.

“Of course, it’s different,” Noah

said. “But the games keep coming. I think for us [it’s a matter of], what do we want to make of it? Are we going to pout and give up? Or are we going to fight to get better and do something special when the playoffs come around.

I think we have the potential to do that.

But it’s going to take a lot of hard work and dedication.’’

Actually, it’s going to take a lot more than that. The Bulls statistically are as good as they’ve been under Thibodeau – second in the NBA in points allowed (92.2 a game) and third in field-goal per-

centage (42.9 percent). But their offense leaves them with zero margin for error.

The Bulls are last in the league in scoring (91.3 points) and field goal percentage (42.2 percent). In the glory days of Rose, the Bulls were 12th in the NBA in field goal percentage in 2011-12 (45.2 percent) and 13th in 2010-11 (46.2).

“The big thing is getting everyone back and healthy,” Thibodeau said when asked about the offense.”And hopefully Carlos will be short-term, which I believe he will be. This is the first time we’ve had the group relatively whole.

“When you practice well you play well. People sometimes don’t understand the de-conditioning that occurs when you don’t practice. You have to stay sharp.”

Furthermore, Thibodeau is confident that with a healthy roster, he can instill the signature mental toughness of his previous Bulls teams that can make this one a threat to beat anybody.

And he means anybody.

“It really doesn’t matter what other people think,” Thibodeau said.

“The only thing that matters is what we think and believe. If you defend and rebound and keep your turnovers down, that’s eliminating ways in which you beat yourself. Then if you play inside-out and share the ball and make good decisions and get good shots, you’re going to shoot a good percentage. If you do those five things, you’ve got a great chance of winning no matter who you’re playing against.”

FIVE-DAY PLANNER

BCS CHAMPIONSHIP GAME: NO. 1 FLORIDA ST. VS. NO. 2 AUBURN, 7:30 P.M., ESPN

Last BCS title game: Destiny & Domination

By RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – Team Destiny vs. Team Domination.

Before the Bowl Championship Series is replaced next year by a playoff, No. 1 Florida State and No. 2 Auburn will meet in its last title game Monday night at the Rose Bowl.

The Seminoles (13-0) ripped through their schedule on the way to Pasadena, winning each game by at least 14 points behind Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston.

“I still think our best game is out there,” Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said Sunday. “I’m looking forward to playing it on Monday night, and our kids are looking forward to the challenge.”

The turnaround Tigers (12-1) are the most unlikely group ever to reach the BCS championship game. Auburn went from 3-9 last year to Southeastern Conference champion in its first season under coach Gus Malzahn. It was a wild ride. The Prayer at Jordan-Hare beat Georgia. The Kick-Six beat Alabama. Destiny? Fate? Luck? The Tigers don’t see it that way.

“Hey, I know we’re a team of hard work, I know that,” said tailback Tre Mason, a Heisman finalist who has run for 1,621 yards and 22 touchdowns for the No. 1 rushing offense in the country. “These guys put a lot of hard work in with me every day, blood, sweat and tears all year long.”

Auburn is the first team to reach the BCS championship game after having a losing season the previous season, and would become the first national champion to start the season unranked since BYU in 1984.

After 16 years of the BCS, the routine is familiar the day before the big game.

The coaches hold their final early morning news conferences, and then take a few minutes to shake hands with each other, exchange pleasantries and pose for pictures with the crystal football trophy that goes to the winner.

On Sunday it was Fisher, the fast-talking West Virginian and Nick Saban disciple, and Malzahn, who has gone from high school

Auburn coach Gus Malzahn (left) and Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher will be vying for The Coaches’ Trophy on Monday in the BCS National Championship Game at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. coach in Arkansas to the national championship game in eight years, running the drill.

Malzahn, who was the Tigers’ offensive coordinator when they won the 2010 national title, said Sunday he told his players before the season one of their goals was to make the biggest turnaround in college football. Done. Auburn has already matched the 2000 Hawaii team for most improved record in FBS history.

“Well, Auburn is a great program and used to winning championships, so I knew that we were going to get it turned around,” he said. “I didn’t know how quick.

There was a lot of questions when we first got there. We did a lot of Dr. Phil-ing early, and our guys came together and they believed.”

Malzahn’s up-tempo, spread offense is a combination of deception and power that seemingly gets better every game. Against Missouri in the SEC championship game, Auburn ran for 545 yards.

“Well, you have to have eye discipline,” Fisher said. “Any time you have moving parts, any time you bring something in front of you, just like when you’re driving, if somebody flashes a hand in front of you while you’re driving down the road it makes you blink,

it makes your eyes distracted and you get off of what you’re looking at and then at the same time they become very physical with how they play, and you get yourself out of position, they knock you out of the way, and there’s a four, five, eight, 10 or they break a run right up the middle.”

Fisher has put together the most talented two-deep depth in the country, a collection of five-star recruits and NFL prospects reminiscent of coach Bobby Bowden’s best Florida State teams. The Seminoles won two national titles under Fisher’s Hall of Fame predecessor and played in the first three BCS title games. The Seminoles haven’t been back since 2000.

A prodigy led them.

Winston turns 20 Monday. The redshirt freshman became the youngest player to win the Heisman Trophy, setting FBS freshman records for most yards passing by a freshman (3,820) and touchdown passes (38). His only problems came off the field. In November, a year-old sexual assault complaint against him was investigated by Florida prosecutors. After three weeks, the state attorney announced he did not have enough evidence to charge Winston. A week and a half later, Winston won the Heisman in a landslide vote.

The Seminoles outscored their opponents by 42 points per game and have not trailed since Sept. 28.

Winston and the rest of the starters have spent most fourth quarters relaxing. The Atlantic Coast Conference was no match for the Seminoles. Will the lack of stiff, four-quarter tests and not the most difficult of schedules put Florida State at a disadvantage?

The ‘Noles say nonsense.

“I can’t help that another team can’t keep up with us,” linebacker Telvin Smith said.

Florida State is also trying to break the SEC’s grip on the national championship. The streak is at seven, but never has the SEC team been as big an underdog (Auburn is getting 8 1-2 points from oddsmakers).

The Seminoles are fine being the favorites.

“I’m glad everybody’s calling Auburn a team of destiny,” Winston said, “because at Florida State we control our own destiny.”

AFC WILD CARD: CHARGERS 27, BENGALS 10

Chargers rally, ready for Denver San Diego makes Dalton, Bengals pay for turnovers

By JOE KAY The Associated Press CINCINNATI – Dump it off to the running back, hand it off, let the field goal kicker take it from there.

Philip Rivers didn’t have to do a whole lot to get a playoff win. Not with the way San Diego’s defense was dominating.

And not with the way Andy Dalton was coming apart in the playoffs again.

The Chargers took advantage of Dalton’s three turnovers in the second half Sunday, pulling away to a 27-10 victory that extended San Diego’s late-season surge and pushed the Bengals’ postseason misery to record levels.

With Rivers making accurate throws in the chilling rain, the Chargers (10-7) won their fifth in a row, beating the last team that had knocked them off. They’ll play Sunday in Denver, which has the AFC’s top seed.

AP photo The Chargers lost at home to the BronSan Diego Chargers running back Danny Woodhead (left) celebrates cos, 28-20, on Nov. 10, then went to Denhis touchdown with receiver Keenan Allen in the first half of an AFC ver and got a rejuvenating 27-20 victory wild-card playoff game against the Bengals on Sunday in Cincinnati.

Dec. 12 that gave them momentum.

“We will be confident,” said Rivers, who was 12 of 16 for 128 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions on a rainy, 40-degree afternoon. “We’ve got to be careful we’re not overconfident, which we won’t be. Cincinnati came to our place and won five weeks ago.”

The Bengals (11-6) won in San Diego 17-10 on Dec. 1, starting their final push toward the AFC North title. They took advantage of three turnovers in that one.

They turned it over four times on Sunday, with Dalton’s fumble and two interceptions in the second half leading to one of the most stunning losses in franchise history. The Bengals had been 8-0 at home and brought the NFL’s No. 3 defense – their highest-ever playoff ranking – into the game.

With everything in their favor, they unraveled in the second half, getting outscored 20-0.

The Bengals now have the sixth-longest streak of playoff futility in NFL history, stretching all the way back to the 1990 season. They’ve lost their playoff opener three straight years, matching a league record, according to STATS LLC. “Whatever you do during the regular season doesn’t matter once you get to the playoffs,” said Dalton, who is 0-3 in the playoffs. “It’s disappointing. All the good stuff we did this year, then to come out and not win this game kind of hurts.”

Coach Marvin Lewis fell to 0-5 in the playoffs during his 11 seasons as head

coach, but is expected to stick around and get another chance to try again.

A lot of it falls on Dalton, who has a trilogy of bad playoff games. He fumbled and threw two interceptions in the second half. Dalton finished 29 of 51 for 334 yards with a below-average passer rating of 67.

The Chargers pressured him in the second half and took advantage of his mistakes. And they didn’t turn the ball over in a conservative offense that sometimes grated on Rivers but ultimately worked.

“The way our defense was playing, as long as we didn’t have a disaster and we made plays when they were there, we were going to win this game,” Rivers said.

Combined with the Saints’ victory over the Eagles on Saturday night, the two No. 6 playoff seeds won for the first time since 2010, when the Packers won the Super Bowl.

And the Chargers are thinking: Why not us?

“We’re loose, we’re confident, we’re peaking at the right time,” safety Eric Weddle said. “We are a team to be dealt with. We’re a confident bunch, especially in the second half, in the fourth quarter.

We feel we’re ready for those situations.

The pressure is not going to get to us.”

This one was a reversal from the last time they met. The Bengals forced three turnovers for their win in San Diego.

NFL NOTES

Titans GM looks for ‘right’ fit in next coach; NFL fines Seattle’s Lynch The ASSOCIATED PRESS NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Ruston Webster is in charge of his first coaching search in the NFL and only the Titans’ second since moving to Tennessee, and the general manager says his goal is finding the man who is the right fit for the franchise.

He’s also not limiting what he wants in the Titans’ next coach.

“The biggest thing to me that you can’t do is rule out guys,” Webster said. “ ‘I want an offensive guy or a defensive guy, previous head coaching experience.’ It caus-

es you to miss out on possibly some good candidates.”

Webster wants to start interviewing candidates as soon as possible to replace Mike Munchak, who was fired Saturday after three years as head coach and 31 seasons with the franchise overall.

The general manager says some of the candidates he wants to interview still are coaching in the playoffs.

With the Titans firing Munchak six days after the regular season ended, they missed the window to interview candidates whose teams had a bye this week.

The last time the Titans went looking for a new coach was late January 2011 after Jeff Fisher was fired with all other openings in the NFL already filled. Munchak was hired Feb. 7, 2011.

This time, the Titans became the seventh team in the league to fire a coach, but only the Texans and Buccaneers have hired replacements.

“We definitely have a head start on that,” said Webster, who assisted then-general manager Mike Reinfeldt in 2011. “I think we need to go through the process and make sure that we make the

right decisions. So I can’t really give you a timetable.”

Lynch fined $50,000 by NFL: The NFL fined Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch $50,000 for violating the league’s media policy.

Lynch stepped in front of a camera Friday and spoke for less than 90 seconds. It was his first time taking questions from the media all season, having politely declined every previous time.

Lynch’s longest answer was 24 words when asked AP photo about the Seahawks’ focus this week not knowing who Tennessee Titans general manager Ruston Webster (above) is in charge of finding a replacement for fired coach Mike Munchak. their opponent will be.

I

’ve lost count how many times I’ve been asked in the past few days if we should expect a mass exodus from the Bears’ locker room of players heading to Tampa Bay to rejoin their beloved coach now that Lovie Smith has taken over the Buccaneers.

Remember, when Lovie was fired in Chicago Devin Hester was so bereft he contemplated retirement rather than play for another coach.

On the Friday before the Bears met the Packers in the final game of the regular season, Hester talked about how important it would be to him to re-sign with the Bears saying this is where he was “born” in the NFL. But that was a little less than a week before Lovie was reborn as a head coach in the NFL. Charles Tillman, Lance Briggs and Julius Peppers among others expressed tremendous disappointment in Lovie’s dismissal. All have also appeared at times this season to be less than thrilled with what the Bears are doing on defense.

It’s also reasonable to note that general manager Phil Emery and coach Marc Trestman added fuel to the firestorm of speculation around the potential for a mass migration south by Bears veterans when both proclaimed in their season-ending news conference that they’re committed to getting younger on defense.

Peppers, Briggs, Tillman, D.J. Williams, James Anderson and Jeremiah Ratliff are all thirtysomethings, all but Peppers are free agents, and other than these six the Bears’ defense is relatively young.

In the case of Peppers, his $18 million cap hit in 2014 makes him almost impossible to keep without a restructured contract.

The only way the Bears get younger on defense is if some or all of these players move on.

The question is: What will the Bears do with the contracts of Peppers and Briggs, and is Tillman, who is free to go if he chooses, a fit in Tampa?

The easiest to guess at is Briggs. With one year left on his Bears contract at $6.5 million, he is as close to indispensable as any player on the club. Emery continues to be hopeful about the futures of Jon Bostic and Khaseem Greene, but even if 2014 is to be a transition year for the defense, and likely Briggs’ last as a Bear, he will almost certainly be back in 2014.

On the other hand, Charles Tillman could very well end up in Tampa. Lovie values his ball-hawking techniques and the turnovers he creates above all else in his Tampa 2 defense.

On one corner, the Bucs have one of the best backs in football in Darrelle Revis, and on the other is Jonathan Banks, a rookie second-round draft choice.

But Banks wasn’t Lovie’s pick, and the chance to bring “Peanut” in and have Banks learn at the nickel for now could be very appealing.

Peppers also could be a good fit if Lovie believes he has anything left. The Bucs have first-round pick Adrian Clayborn, second-rounder Daquan Bowers and Daniel Te’o-Nesheim at defensive end, but the trio combined for just eight quarterback sacks this season, with six coming from Clayborn.

Will the Bears cut Peppers loose, and how much of a paycut is he willing to take?

There is no connection between Lovie and Williams, Anderson or Ratliff, but Hester, Henry Melton and Roberto Garza also could be of interest to Smith.

The Bucs were solid at eighth in the NFL in punt returns and 13th returning kickoffs, but Smith and Hester made a lot of magic together.

Tampa’s Gerald McCoy is one of the best “three” techniques in the NFL, and Melton could be the perfect fit as his backup and part of a three-tackle rotation.

Garza could be a nice veteran bridge between Lovie and his new roster, if the Bears aren’t a serious bidder.

Single woman losing touch with friends who have kids Dear Abby: I’m a 28-yearold woman with a fantastic job, a wonderful boyfriend and many friends whom I love dearly. I’m the only one without a child.

Maybe I don’t understand because I’m not a parent myself, but all my friends can talk about is children. Whereas before, we were interested in each other’s lives, I feel like my concerns and accomplishments are being brushed off. An example: I was excited to meet up with a pal to talk about my promotion, but the hour-long dinner was spent mostly teaching her child how to walk between the tables of the restaurant.

I enjoy hearing about my friends and their families, but I feel they no longer are interested in me. Am I expect-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips ing too much because we’re at different points in our lives, or am I a bad friend?

I’m growing resentful, and I don’t like it. Any words of wisdom? – Still Relevant In

Massachusetts Dear Still Relevant: You and your friends ARE at different stages of life. When you were in your teens, you and your friends would talk about dating. Then, as you grew older, the conversations revolved around college, jobs and marriage. As people experience the later stages of life, they talk about other things that are going on in their lives –

children, grandkids, aging parents and, finally, their own health concerns.

You’ll maintain and enjoy these friendships longer if you understand that. In the meantime, try to set some “adult time only” with your friends.

Dear Abby: I have been divorced for 14 years and have dated some, but not a lot. I recently signed up for an online dating service, and here is my dilemma: I have a felony conviction from 25-plus years ago. It did not involve violence, drugs, sex, stealing, etc. It was for a white-collar crime. I received four years of probation, which I served without a hitch.

My question is not if I should tell someone about my conviction, but WHEN.

If I say anything at our first meeting, I’m pretty sure it also will be the last meeting.

At the same time, I don’t want it to appear I was hiding it from them.

I might add, this is the only time I have ever been in trouble with the law. I’d appreciate your advice on how to deal with this. – Online

Dating In Texas Dear Dating: The time to tell someone about your conviction is when the relationship stops being casual.

At that point, you should disclose there is a chapter from your past you think the person should know about – and that it’s one that will never be repeated.

Dear Abby: After 25 years, I finally have admitted to myself I’m married to a worka-

holic, alcoholic womanizer.

I have devoted my entire adult life, my time, effort and energy to my family.

Now I feel used, abused and disrespected. I’m grateful to be a member of Al-Anon. It has helped me to understand I cannot change anyone but me.

I have raised three great, successful grown kids. I have yet to make a decision for myself. I married for life.

Must I continue to suffer in silence? Or do I hope there is love, kindness and respect out there to be had? – Stalling

In Iowa Dear Stalling: Let me

You are entitled to receive the same love and respect you offer to others. I cannot guarantee you’ll find love.

Because your workaholic, alcoholic, womanizing husband hasn’t changed in a quarter of a century, it’s obvious he has no intention of doing so.

You don’t need to find another man to be happier than you are now. Being alone could give you peace, contentment and happiness.

The question you need to answer honestly for yourself is whether you would be happier without your husband’s negative influence in your life.

remind you what you’ve already learned in Al-Anon: You cannot change anyone but yourself. The same is true of your circumstances.

Prevent recurrence of bursitis NEW YEARS SPECIAL Dear Dr. K: I have knee bursitis. What is bursitis? What can I do to relieve my discomfort?

Dear Reader: A bursa is a sac-like structure that sits over large joints such as the knee or hip joints. Bursae act as cushions between muscle and bone and reduce friction during movement.

When a bursa becomes painful or inflamed, the condition is called bursitis. The symptoms of knee bursitis include pain made worse by movement of the knee, but which is still present even when the knee is not moving.

There often is swelling of the area above the kneecap (the patella). Finally, if you push on the area where you feel pain, you’ll feel tenderness.

The knee has several bursae. The bursa that lies directly over the kneecap (called the prepatellar bursa) and the bursa located just below the knee joint, toward the inside (the anserine bursa) are the most likely to cause pain.

Sometimes, bursitis develops from a disease that can affect joints, such as gout or

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff rheumatoid arthritis. Sometimes a bacterial infection carried in the blood finds its way into the bursa and causes an infection. The common causes of knee bursitis are overuse or prolonged kneeling.

During the healing process, which usually lasts two to six weeks, you’ll need to avoid activities that aggravate your bursitis. If you have prepatellar bursitis and can’t avoid resting on your knee, use a kneeling pad as a cushion. If you have anserine bursitis, sleep with a small pillow between your thighs so the other knee does not rest its weight on the sore knee at night.

In the meantime, try RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) to reduce swelling.

You can take acetaminophen (Tylenol) or an anti-inflammatory drug such as aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) to relieve discomfort and

reduce inflammation.

If the pain is intense or does not quickly improve, your doctor may inject a corticosteroid drug directly into the area.

However, repeated steroid injections can damage the tissue in your knee.

Your doctor also may recommend physical therapy to strengthen and stretch your thigh muscles, which help to protect your knees.

After your bursitis heals, take these preventive measures to prevent a recurrence: • Get up and stretch your legs regularly if you work on your knees for long periods of time.

• Stretch your legs before and after you exercise.

• Vary your workouts to rest your knees.

• Elevate and ice your knees after you exercise or spend a long time on your knees.

• Try over-the-counter arch supports in your shoes.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Local woman wins weight loss challenge losing 47 pounds in 90 days 7 Finalists drop 223 pounds and shed hundreds of inches in quest to get in shape!

By Elizabeth Shaker Dr. Jill Howe and her husband Larry Berg designed the Ultimate Weight Loss Challenge began back in 1998. When designing the challenge they wanted a system that would be fair to all participants and they were inspired by the book Body for Life by Bill Phillips who hosted a challenge when he owned EAS. They liked his format so much they incorporated pieces of it, especially the essay and the idea the challenge was based more on a transformation rather than just weight loss. They sponsored this contest on a national basis with approximately 50 participating wellness centers around the country in 2011. Over $50,000 in prize money was awarded with the winner coming from the northern Illinois region.

The way the challenge works is that competitors compete in 5 divisions with all measuring divisions based on percentages lost in order to make it fair for all competing. The divisions are comprised of the following 1. Weight Loss Percentage- each contestant weighing in at the beginning and end of the contest at the host facility and then the percentage of weight loss is determined. 2. Inches lost- percentage measurements of the waist, bust, hips, thigh and upper arm at the start and finish of the contest and then the percentage is determined. 3. Before and after pictures are taken and a panel of 10 judges selected from participating sponsors narrows the judging down to 20 finalists. The judges re-evaluate to determine the before and after picture winner. 4. The essay division is the one element the contestants have to show how they achieved their results and how they benefited from the challenge and the sponsors assistance in helping them achieve their results. 5. This is a measured result using the InBody 520 and the computerized report that shows a person’s BMI, Fat % and many other characteristics that can be beneficial to each contestant.

Dr. Jill Howe from Superior Health and Wellness of Crystal Lake has given away over $100,000 since the challenge began back in 1998 including $12,000 in cash and prizes for the latest winners of the 2013 Contest. She has done this to help people achieve their own weight loss goals in a short period of time as the challenge runs for only 90 days and is based on percentages making it fair for all involved.

McHenry County estimates an allocation of $900,000.00 (nine-hundred thousand dollars and zero/ cents) in funds from HUD.

This was the deal in last week’s inal column. Chen Yuechen from China won the 2013 Richard Freeman Junior Deal of the Year from the International Bridge Press Association for his defense against six no-trump.

Chen (West) had guessed to lead his club three. South had taken East’s nine with his ace, played a diamond to dummy’s jack, and run the heart jack. West had won and found the killing return of his remaining diamond.

South won in his hand, cashed his club king, and led a spade, planning to inesse dummy’s 10. He needed two dummy entries: one to repeat the heart inesse and the second to cash the 13th heart. But Chen put up his spade jack, a textbook entry-killing play that defeated the contract.

I wonder how many readers noticed that South missed an interesting chance to make his contract. Before playing a diamond to dummy’s jack, declarer should have cashed his diamond ace.

This looks pointless, but not when West started with only two diamonds. When

he got in with his heart ace, he would have been endplayed.

If West returned a club, South could get four tricks in the suit by playing low from the dummy to collect three spades, one heart, four diamonds and four clubs. Or, if West shifted to a low spade, declarer would win with dummy’s 10 and have his second dummy entry. He would win three spades, three hearts, four diamonds and two clubs.

This is called a Dentist’s Coup -- extracting the safe exit card(s) from a defender’s hand.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

! !

TODAY - Emotional concerns may be challenging, but the more prepared you are to tackle them now, the better off you’ll be. Put your willpower to work, and don’t let anyone take advantage of you. You’ll also need to be strict with your finances.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You’ll have many professional opportunities today. Deals can be settled, but be very careful when they involve loved ones. A careless mistake on your part could lead to trouble.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t let your emotions lead you astray, and don’t let overindulgence or denial compromise your integrity. Temptation is apparent, and strength of character will be required.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Get organized and make whatever adjustments are necessary. You may find yourself in an inflammatory situation, and if you cannot admit your mistakes, you will meet with roadblocks.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your emotions will be close to the surface, especially if you are goaded into a heated discussion. You must avoid saying the wrong thing to someone who could damage your reputation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You will have the discipline to get things done, but you will also attract a person who is more of a hindrance than a help. Don’t expect others to lend a hand. Just focus on what you can do.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Today, you can find the momentum to get stalled projects up and running again. To make things happen, you may have to adjust a few of your ideas or re-establish yourself with people from your past.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t let anyone give you a hard time about work. You will be very serious in your endeavors, and following through with your plans will be key.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Do everything you can to promote your talents. You have much to offer, and today is the perfect time to take center stage. Love is likely on your mind, but don’t let it distract you from your ambitions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A trip or a conference you attend will expand your knowledge base. You will make meaningful changes to the way you communicate that will seriously up your game.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Someone you least suspect may turn on you. Deal with loved ones delicately, or they may react with vitriol. You should avoid being overly serious and instead put your focus on light creative pursuits.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Issues with your partner may cause confusion, but if you refuse to be drawn in, it will pass. Concentrate on artistic or mentally challenging work, and you will thrive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Now is the time to implement professional changes. Take action where your work is concerned so that you can make progress.
