Good morning, McHenry County ...

FOIA requests breaking Bull Valley budget Apparently Chuck Casamento is the reason for the village of Bull Valley’s budget troubles.

Casamento, a Lake in the Hills resident, is suing the village, claiming he was falsely arrested in retaliation for criticizing the police department. It’s not his lawsuit that’s causing revenue problems for Bull Valley, however. It’s his Freedom of Information Act requests.

So said Village President Emily Berendt, who issued a news release Monday that tried to shed light on the budget problems the village said led to former Police Chief Jim Page’s dismissal.

According to Berendt, the current fiscal year is showing revenues down about $167,000 as of February. Why? In part, she said, because the village has been inundated since August with 22 large volume FOIA requests, totaling thousands of pages, from Casamento. The number of manhours necessary to fulfill those requests – pri-

MAN’S CONDITION IMPROVES

REPRIEVE FOR NASA’S KEPLER SPACECRAFT

Drew Stout, the Lakemoor-area father who was thrown from his car after colliding with the rear tires of a semitrailer on Route 120 near McHenry, is now awake and alert, although he remains in pain.

He has been moved from the intensive care unit to a room on the hospital’s fourth floor. He hopes he will be able to return home in a week or two. Story, page A7.

CUBS WIN HOME OPENER

Addison Russell’s three-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning lifted the Cubs to a 5-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds in their home opener.

Cincinnati pitcher Brandon Finnegan took a no-hitter into the seventh inning before the Cubs rallied against the Reds bullpen.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – To astronomers’ relief, NASA’s planet-hunting Kepler spacecraft has won another reprieve.

The spacecraft – responsible for detecting thousands of planets beyond our solar system – slipped into emergency mode last week nearly 75 million miles from Earth.

Ground controllers managed to stabilize the probe Sunday, and NASA announced the good news Monday.

Engineers still don’t know what went wrong and will study incoming data for clues. They also want to be certain the spacecraft is healthy enough to resume observations. The trouble occurred right before Kepler was to be pointed toward the center of the Milky Way for a new kind of planet-searching campaign.

The Crystal Lake City Council on April 5 reversed its ban on video gambling, approving a more restrictive ordinance that would allow certain local businesses to have the machines.

Restrictions under the ordinance include a limit of three machines – state law allows for five – and no signage visible from the outside that advertises video gambling.

NEW ORDINANCE LAUDED IN CL

Business owners pleased after council votes to allow video gambling in city

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Local business owners have good things to say about the new Crystal Lake ordinance that ends a years-long struggle on their part to allow for video gambling in city limits.

The City Council last week, on a 5-2 vote, reversed a ban first imposed when the machines started appearing in McHenry County in 2012 as part of a state plan to help pay for a $31 billion capital program.

For Fire Bar and Grill co-owners Nino and Sarge Hermes, the revenue

from the machines will help pay for a capital plan of their own to renovate and repair wear and tear on the 9-year-old business.

To Nino Hermes and other business owners, the matter primarily was one of marketplace fairness. Because surrounding municipalities and unincorporated McHenry County allowed the machines, they argued the ban put them at a competitive disadvantage. Restaurants in Lake in the Hills, which allows video gambling, are a short drive down Randall Road from the Hermes’ establishment.

“Finally, we can say that it’s a

clear and fair playing field amongst all of us,” Nino Hermes said. “Nobody has an advantage to go to one place over the other. That’s all we ever asked for.”

Crystal Lake’s ordinance is more restrictive than those passed by other local governments. Businesses with licenses to serve alcohol on premises can have a maximum of three machines – rather than the five allowed under state law – and cannot have signs that advertise gambling.

The machines must be segregated at establishments that allow customers

McHENRY COUNTY

Advisory referendum to shrink board’s size might be on ballot

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – An already crowded and important November ballot also may include an advisory question asking voters whether they want to shrink the size of the McHenry County Board.

A proposal working its way through its Management Services Committee would put a nonbinding referendum on the ballot to reduce the size of the 24-member board. While the original referendum proposal is to halve it to 12 members, Tina Hill the committee could tweak it depending on research and debate, said committee Chairwoman Tina Hill, R-Woodstock.

Hill said members want to discuss the ultimate size and how it would affect the current committee structure, board compensation and how representative districts would be set up.

“There’s going to be something [on the ballot]. It just depends on what it’s going to look like,” Hill said after Monday morning’s meeting.

The County Board in past years has rejected the idea of either downsizing or changing its current makeup of six four-member districts. However, a visit last year to the National Association of Counties annual conference by McHen-

ry County Board Chairman Joe Gottemoller, who originated the proposed referendum, gave the idea new life.

When Gottemoller learned Los Angeles County is run by a five-member board of supervisors – the county’s $28 billion annual budget is greater than half of the states in the U.S. – he said McHenry County has no excuse not to downsize.

On salary alone, he said not counting benefits, halving the County Board’s size would result in an annual savings of about $250,000 a year. He said he wanted to pursue this since the conference, but did not want to make it an election issue.

“We have 24 people running a much smaller budget. There’s no reason to have 24 people doing what we’re doing. There just isn’t,” said Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake.

Gottemoller said questions about districts and committee structure can wait until another day. Besides the fact that this is an advisory referendum, a binding referendum can’t be asked of voters until after the 2020 U.S. Census, before the redistricting for the 2022 election.

The County Board’s size has stayed the same since 1972, ever since voters began directly electing its members after the new state constitution ended the practice of county boards made up of township supervisors. In 1992, the board went from three districts of eight members each to its current configuration of six, four-member districts.

“We have 24 people running a much smaller budget. There’s no reason to have 24 people doing what we’re doing. There just isn’t.”

Joe Gottemoller

McHenry County Board chairman While the County Board in recent years has entertained prodding to shrink its size or adopt one- or two-member districts, most of its members have seen no need to do so. Other collar counties took advantage of the 2010 U.S. Census to downsize.

The Lake and Kane county boards each shrank by two board members, in preparation for the time in which those counties reach 800,000 people and have to shrink to 18 members under state law, as the DuPage County Board did in 2000. Will County shrank its board by one member, but overhauled its boundaries from large nine-member districts to smaller two-member districts.

The McHenry County Board’s size is average compared with the other collar counties. The Kane County Board also has 24 members, the Lake County Board has 21 members and the Will County Board has 26.

Spring warm-up in sight for McHenry County

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com After a precipitation roller coaster last week, National Weather Service meteorologists predict the next week will look more like a stairway to springlike conditions.

“The weather pattern kind of slows down, which I think for many is kind of a welcome change,” meteorologist Matt Friedlein said.

Perhaps the most notable change is the week is expected to be dry. That prediction follows a week that saw snow, rain and graupel – a form of snow pellets or soft hail. Friedlein said although it’s not

“The weather pattern kind of slows down, which I think for many is kind of a welcome change.”

Matt Friedlein Meteorologist

unusual to have a few days more of winterlike weather in the early spring, the area saw multiple systems and stronger than usual winds.

Also in contrast to last week, the sun will be a consistent presence through at

least Sunday.

“There might be a passing cloud, but for the most part the skies are going to be clear,” Friedlein said.

Highs Tuesday will be in the upper 40s.

Wednesday highs are forecast to be in the mid-50s. Thursday temperatures should inch a little higher in the 50s, with Friday and Saturday temperatures in the 60s. By Sunday, Friedlein said temperatures will reach into the 70s.

Whether the area has seen the last of snow for the season, Friedlein couldn’t say. But he sees no signs of a cold pattern appearing in the next 10 days.

“The odds are diminishing quickly,” Friedlein said. “We’ll say that.”

Townhouse blaze injures 2 firefighters

cswieca@shawmedia.com LAKE IN THE HILLS – Two firefighters suffered injuries that were not life-threatening and six families were displaced by a fire at 11 W. Acorn Lane on Monday afternoon, a fire official said.

The Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District was dispatched at 1:35 p.m. to 11 W. Acorn Lane for a reported structure fire, Battalion Chief John Greene said. When personnel arrived at the scene at 1:41 p.m., heavy smoke was showing from the roof of

two-story structure.

Homeowners confirmed that everyone was out of the house and fire crews began fighting the fire. The fire was declared out at 3:46 p.m. and crews remained on scene investigating until 5:30 p.m.

Heavy damage could be seen in one of the rooms in the back of the house.

The cause of the fire and extent of the damage still are under investigation, Greene said. The building had working smoke detectors, which sounded when the fire began.

All units within the structure had smoke damage, Greene said. The Red Cross is assisting the six displaced

families.

The fire shut down West Acorn Lane from Crystal Lake Road to Randall Road and a portion of Village Creek Drive for about four hours, according to the Lake in the Hills Police Department. Community Unit School District 300 also rerouted some school buses because of the fire.

Lake in the Hills and McHenry County Sheriff’s police and personnel from the Barrington Countryside, Cary, Crystal Lake, Fox River Grove, Elgin, Hoffman Estates, Huntley, Marengo, Nunda Rural, Pingree Grove, Rutland-Dundee and West Dundee fire departments also were on the scene.

LAKEMOOR

By KATIE DAHLSTROM

kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com LAKEMOOR – The only reason Drew Stout believed his family members when they said he had been in a car crash days earlier was the pain throughout his body.

The Lakemoor-area father had been thrown from his car after colliding with the rear tires of a semitrailer on Route 120. He was flown to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where doctors performed surgery on his left leg and put him in a medically induced coma to help reduce the swell-

the collision.

Now alert and awake, Stout said he remains in pain. He has since been moved from the intensive care unit to a room on the hospital’s fourth floor. A rotation of his father, mother and fiancee, Ashli Saylor, stand by.

“It was the best day of my life,” Saylor said of the day Stout, 26, woke up. “It was also my birthday, so it was the best birthday.”

Stout has yet to see his 4-month-old daughter, or Saylor’s three daughters that he is raising. He said he doesn’t want them to see the stabilizing bar holding four bars into his left leg. He

said he’s waiting on an operating room so doctors can replace the external contraption with two plates inside his leg.

He hopes he will be able to return home in a week or two. However, he will need to go to a rehab facility once his surgery is done to ensure he can manage his pain and use his healing leg.

It might not be fast enough for Stout, but he’s happy to be alive.

“It feels amazing,” Stout said. “I still don’t think I’ve even come to terms that I was almost gone. It scares the hell out of me to think that I almost left them alone. I’m just so happy to be here for my girls.”

Tee 2 Green’s plan to expand draws objections from trustees

By CAITLIN SWIECA

cswieca@shawmedia.com HUNTLEY — Village officials will oppose a plan from Tee 2 Green Indoor Golf LLC to add an outdoor area for games and entertainment because of concerns that the outdoor part of the property does not fall under village jurisdiction.

Director of Development Services Charles Nordman asked the Committee of the Whole how to approach the proposal last week after the village received a notice that there would be a public hearing for the plan at the McHenry County Zoning Board of Appeals this Thursday.

Tee 2 Green, 11193 Dundee Road, wants to create an area with two volleyball courts, one bocce ball court, two horseshoe pits, an open entertainment area with seating and games, and an area for food and beverage service

“I’m all about business and getting our businesses to do a better job, but I think the property should be annexed.”

on a 1-acre parcel located east of the business’s parking lot.

The building is in Huntley, but the outdoor space is in unincorporated McHenry County.

Nordman listed several staff concerns about the plan, noting that the village would have no authority to regulate the outdoor area, that the petitioner’s Huntley liquor license does not allow sales on the unincorporated parcel and that bathrooms would need to be added.

Village trustees unanimously opposed the plan, with several directing

staff to speak with the property owner about annexing the land.

Trustee Niko Kanakaris also pointed out that McHenry County liquor licenses run an hour later than the village’s liquor licenses.

“I’m all about business and getting our businesses to do a better job, but I think the property should be annexed,” Kanakaris said. “They’re just trying to throw something in a grass area. If somebody wanted to open a business like this in town, they’d have to go through all the steps.”

Several trustees also said the plan was too vague and they would want to see more details.

“I think it would be nice if we could have our officers patrol this area in case of incidents,” Trustee JR Westberg said. “To have two different governing bodies watching over that parcel is confusing. ... It would be best if we annexed.”

Judge dismisses drug charges against man

By JORDYN REILAND

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A Cary man no longer faces charges of selling and possessing heroin – at least not in McHenry County.

Vincent A. Isola, 23, was arrested and charged in February with unlawful delivery of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of a controlled substance after he allegedly bought $1,500 worth of heroin in Chicago during an undercover operation conducted by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

McHenry County Judge Michael Feetterer ruled on Monday that the facts in the case and the commission of the alleged crime took place in Cook County, therefore causing him to dismiss the current charges.

This would not, however, prohibit Cook County from pursuing separate charges against Isola.

The defendant’s attorney, Assistant Public Defender Kim Messer, asked that the charges against her client be dismissed because McHenry County was the improper place for trial. She said while she did not disagree with the facts presented by the state’s attorneys office, neither of the charges against the defendant occurred in McHenry County.

The defendant was arrested after he allegedly bought heroin for a member of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office during the undercover operation. The

detective contacted Isola via text message to inquire about buying heroin and two undercover detectives allegedly picked him up from his residence in Lake County and traveled to Cook County to buy the drugs.

After the deal was made, the three traveled back to the defendant’s residence when a “prearranged fake traffic stop” was made at Route 14 on the border of Lake and McHenry counties, according to court documents.

Isola was allegedly found in possession of approximately six grams of heroin, Messer said.

The sale took place in Cook County and Isola was no longer in possession of the amount of controlled substance needed to meet the qualifications of the charges against him, she said.

“There would not be a crime in McHenry County if not for the action of the sheriff’s office,” Messer said.

Assistant State’s Attorney Mary Ann Scholl argued that while elements of the delivery took place in Cook County, “acts in furtherance of the commission of offenses took place in McHenry County.”

She said that if the court did not find McHenry County to be the proper place for trial the court could order the case be transferred to Cook County.

Isola has an outstanding hold in Lake County on unrelated charges, so he will be required to post bond to be released from custody or be transported to the Lake County Jail, Messer said.

Students will be able to ask questions after the speakers cover topics such as what kind of education is necessary, a typical workday, and average salaries.

District officials said a survey of the class of 2015 found that nearly 17 percent of students planned to pursue careers in the medical field.

“Health care is always among the top fields of interest for our students who continue their post-secondary education, and enrollment in our biology, anatomy, and chemistry classes continues to increase,” Superintendent Johnnie Thomas said in a statement.

LOCAL BRIEF Duo face charges in attempted Marengo Guns burglary

MARENGO – Two Chicago men face felony charges after police said Monday that they received information that Marengo Guns was the target of a burglary.

Nathaniel Green, 28, of the 10400 block of South Sangamon Street, and Nathaniel Skyler Green, 19, of the Green 400 block of South Lake Avenue, each is charged with attempted burglary and criminal damage to property, according to a news release from the Marengo Police Department.

Marengo police conducted the investigation with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Illinois State Police and the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office after learning that the store at 20014 E. Grant Highway was set to be burglarized sometime over the weekend, the release said.

Both men were being Skyler Green held in McHenry County Jail with bond amounts pending, according to online jail records.

They are slated to appear in court at 8 a.m. Tuesday.

A license to have the machines will cost a business $1,100 a year, plus a $500 fee for each terminal. Businesses also must sign a pledge not to sue the city to get the restrictions loosened.

The state gets 30 percent of the proceeds, 5 percent of will be given to the city. The remaining 70 percent of the profit is split between the machine owner and each establishment.

Companies that provide the machines each have to pay a $1,000 annual fee to do business in the city.

Besides the tax and permit revenue, the local economy will benefit as well, said Paul Leech, owner of The Cottage in downtown Crystal Lake.

Leech, who has been at the forefront of the fight to get the ban overturned, said money generated by the machines will be reinvested in the business, and that any work he needs done will be done by local contractors.

“This is good for the city and good for the community in terms of the money this is going to generate,” Leech said.

Leech and Nino Hermes praised the City Council, particularly Mayor

“This is good for the city and good for the community in terms of the money this is going to generate.”

Paul Leech

Owner of The Cottage in Crystal Lake Aaron Shepley, for approving the ordinance.

Shepley, for years, had been one of the most outspoken opponents of allowing video gambling until he said he could get behind the compromise ordinance. For Shepley, it was never a matter of the morality of gambling but altering the character of the community – he was opposed to a plethora of outside signs advertising it, which he said has adversely affected the appearance of other local municipalities.

Brian Coli, owner of Georgio’s Chicago Pizzeria and Pub in downtown, said he has no problems with the additional restrictions. He said while he has no specific plans for the revenue – Georgio’s would have room for only one or two of the machines – he said it may be allocated to help finish one ongoing renovation in the kitchen and parts of the bar.

“Even if they allowed [outside signs], I wouldn’t have put anything out front anyway. If you have all those signs advertising gaming, it takes away from the look of the community,” Coli said.

Of the 46 establishments with licenses to serve alcohol on premises, all but nine of them are eligible under the new city ordinance to obtain video gambling permits, according to city records. A report estimated city government would receive $89,350 a year in revenue and fees if 10 establishments participate.

Not all eligible establishments plan to do so, however. While Duke’s Alehouse and Kitchen supported the

effort to allow video gambling, general manager Zak Dolezal said, the business has no desire to have the machines.

“The original reason I was in support was just because other businesses wanted to have their chance.

It’s not something we want to do at Duke’s. More or less if it’s an opportunity for businesses to make some extra income, more power to them,” Dolezal said.

Lakewood is the sole remaining government in McHenry County with a ban on video gambling. The McHenry County Board, Woodstock, Cary and Algonquin had bans in place, but subsequently reversed them.

STATE

Lawmakers frustrated by state budget impasse meet privately

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Frustrated by a state budget impasse stretching into its 10th month, rank-and-file Illinois lawmakers are meeting in bipartisan groups to discuss potential solutions.

Some legislators spoke about their efforts Monday at a forum hosted by The Illinois Campaign for Political Reform, saying the goal is to present plans to legislative leaders in hopes of resolving the stalemate between Democrats who control the Legislature and Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner.

State Reps. William Davis, a Homewood Democrat, and Republican Robert Pritchard of Hinckley said they recently attended a lawmaker gathering in suburban Chicago to discuss tactics. Aside from noting revenue and reforms are in the mix, they declined to discuss specific proposals because they’re in the initial phases.

“Sure, there’s an element of frustration, there’s also an element of realism. We’re seeing the leaders aren’t willing to come together.

We’re feeling the pressure from our constituents, so we want to do something about it.”

“Sure, there’s an element of frustration, there’s also an element of realism,” Pritchard said after the forum.

“We’re seeing the leaders aren’t willing to come together. We’re feeling the pressure from our constituents, so we want to do something about it.”

But the legislators face a tough road in trying to convince Senate President John Cullerton and House Speaker Michael Madigan, who haven’t met with Rauner in months over

a budget deal for the fiscal year that began in July.

Democrats want Rauner to sign off on a tax increase, but Rauner first wants “structural reforms.” Democrats refuse, saying those plans – such as changes to collective bargaining – hurt working families.

Meanwhile, the state’s fiscal problems continue to grow, something none of the eight lawmakers participating in the forum disputed. Because

of court orders and other mandates, Illinois is spending without a budget at rates both sides say is unsustainable.

The state comptroller’s office has said the backlog of unpaid bills could reach $10 billion by the end of June.

Still lawmakers, due in Springfield on Tuesday, are convinced their efforts help.

At least five separate groups have been meeting to discuss the budget.

Four have sought guidance from the Center for Tax and Budget Accountability, a progressive Chicago-based government accountability group, said executive director Ralph Martire.

Also state Sen. Heather Steans, a Chicago Democrat, said she’s part of a bipartisan and bicameral group that’s met “off and on” for some time.

“It will take rank-and-file folks coming together,” she said during the forum. “It’s a strategy that can be effective.”

Reynolds, who had been in South Africa with his 23-year-old daughter, appeared in federal court in Atlanta and was released, Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Fitzpatrick in Chicago said in an email.

Reynolds was arrested at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport when his flight arrived from Johannesburg, U.S. Marshals Service spokeswoman Belkis Cantor Sandoval said. He has pleaded not guilty on a misdemeanor charge of failing to file income tax returns from 2009 to 2012.

An arrest warrant was issued for Reynolds on March 31 when he told a judge he wouldn’t appear in court as ordered because he’s caring for a daughter whom he says has scoliosis and may also have cervical cancer. The Illinois Democrat had asked the judge “to show some compassion and understanding.”

“His case is scheduled for trial in Chicago on May 2, and we expect him to be here for it,” Fitzpatrick said after Reynolds was released.

An attorney for Reynolds, Richard Kling, said Homeland Security agents seized the former congressman’s smartphone and computer, which contain text messages and documents essential Ex-U.S. Rep. Reynolds released after arrest in Atlanta to Reynolds’ defense in the tax case.

CHICAGO – Former U.S. Rep. Mel “Right now, we’re trying to figure out Reynolds was arrested in Atlanta on Mon- how we get that back from Homeland day and released on his own recognizance Security,” Kling said in a telephone after failing to appear for a hearing in a interview.

Members of the council, who have watched the city pay out more than $660 million in police misconduct cases since 2004, angrily wondered why these cases were popping up again and again while in many cases officers involved remain on the job.

“This is a travesty,” Alderman Anthony Beale said.

But they also quickly agreed to recommend the settlements to the full council, which will likely approve them, heeding the warning of the city attorney, who said that if the cases went to trial, the city risked being ordered by a jury to pay the families far more than $6.45 million.

In one case, the council agreed to recommend that the city settle a lawsuit for $4.95 million brought by the family of Philip Coleman.

He was taken into custody in 2012 after he allegedly attacked his mother.

When officers arrived, Coleman’s parents begged officers to take their adult son to a hospital for psychiatric treatment rather than a jail.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS IS attacks network a ‘supercell’ of extremism

PARIS – The number of people linked to the Islamic State network that attacked Paris and Brussels reaches easily into the dozens, with a series of new arrests over the weekend that confirmed the cell’s toxic reach and ability to move around unnoticed in Europe’s criminal underworld.

From Belgium’s Molenbeek to Sweden’s Malmo, new names are added nearly daily to the list of hardened attackers, hangers-on, and tacit supporters of the cell that killed 130 people in Paris and 32 in Brussels. A computer abandoned by one of the Brussels suicide bombers in a trash can contained not only his will, but is beginning to give up other information as well, including an audio file indicating the cell was getting its orders directly from a French-speaking extremist in Syria, according to a police official with knowledge of the investigation. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly about the investigation.

With envoy in Damascus, IS takes town from rebels

DAMASCUS, Syria – Islamic State militants recaptured a vital border crossing in northern Syria and shot down a government warplane in the country’s

west Monday as the U.N.’s special envoy urged the warring parties to respect a fragile cease-fire ahead of peace talks set to resume in Geneva this week.

U.N. Special Envoy Staffan de Mistura’s plea came amid stepped-up fighting around the northern city of Aleppo, Syria’s largest, and elsewhere in the country’s northern and western provinces.

He spoke after meeting with Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem in Damascus in preparation for the talks, set to begin Wednesday in Geneva between the government and an umbrella opposition coalition backed by the U.S., Saudi Arabia and other Western powers.

U.S., Goldman Sachs reach settlement over mortgages WASHINGTON – The Justice Department on Monday announced a roughly $5 billion settlement with Goldman Sachs over the sale of mortgage-backed securities leading up to the 2008 financial crisis, with the government accusing the bank of misleading investors about the quality of its loans.

The $5.06 billion deal resolves state and federal probes into the sale of shoddy mortgages in the run-up to the housing bubble and subsequent economic meltdown.

Poll: On range of issues, Clinton has edge over Trump

By JULIE PACE and EMILY SWANSON The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – In an early general election warning for Donald Trump, Americans say they trust Democrat Hillary Clinton over the Republican businessman on a range of issues, including immigration, health care and nominating Supreme Court justices.

Even when asked which of the two candidates would be best at “making American great” – the central promise of Trump’s campaign – Americans are slightly more likely to side with Clinton, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll.

The survey does reveal some potential trouble spots for Clinton. Trump is nearly even with her on whom Americans trust to handle the economy, which voters consistently rank as one of the top issues facing the country. Clinton is trusted more on the economy by 38 percent of Americans,

while 35 percent side with Trump.

And despite Americans’ overall preference for Clinton on a host of issues, just 20 percent say she represents their own views very well on matters they care about, while 23 percent say somewhat well.

But as with most issues addressed in the AP-GfK poll, the numbers for Trump are even worse: Just 15 percent of Americans say he represents their views very well and 14 percent say somewhat well.

Trump’s support with registered Republican voters is also soft on some issues, with less than 50 percent saying they trust him over Clinton on working with Congress or handling the U.S. image abroad. About a quarter of Republicans say they trust neither candidate on either of those issues.

Those figures underscore the work the real estate mogul must do to shore up support within his own party if he’s the nominee.

Greg Freeman, an independent who leans Republican, said he would “absolutely not” trust Trump to handle major issues facing the United States.

“I think he would have the U.S. in wars at the drop of a hat. He would make the international community angry at the United States,” said Freeman, a 41-year-old from Walhalla, South Carolina. “He has a lot of comments on issues, but he has no solutions.”

While Clinton and Trump are the favorites to face off in the fall campaign, obstacles remain, particularly for the Republican billionaire. He’s leading in the delegate count, but needs to perform better in the upcoming final primaries in order to reach the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the nomination. If he fails to hit that number, the GOP contest will be decided at the party’s convention in July – and it’s unclear whether Trump’s slim campaign operation is prepared for that complex challenge.

Candidates could alter GOP convention rules

The Associated Press

tion hall, who can be nominated, how votes are cast and how disputes are resolved.

These bylaws are temporary. This year’s convention will be governed by whichever rules the delegates approve by majority vote when the four-day gathering begins July 18.

The Republican National Committee is already working on rules to present to the convention. But it’s the convention delegates – initially a 112-member rules committee, two from each state and territory, then all 2,472 – who’ll have final say.

Usually, each convention renews the rules with minor changes and little fanfare. They generally reflect the interests of the presumptive presidential nominee.

WASHINGTON – With the Republican nominating convention less than 100 days away, the GOP’s presidential candidate isn’t the only thing still up for grabs. Also in play: The rules by which the nominee will be chosen.

Yet there’s one certainty about the party’s July gathering in Cleveland: A candidate, an alliance of candidates or party leaders backed by enough delegates will be able to change the procedures any way they want.

Front-runner Donald Trump has 743 of the 1,237 delegates needed to leave the GOP convention as nominee.

His closest competitor, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is fewer than 200 delegates behind. Yet many top Republicans view both as certain losers who could CLEVELAND, WE’VE GOT A PROBLEM cost them congressional seats.

They describe how delegates Candidates’ campaigns would comare divided among the 56 states and pete for support for rules advantaterritories, who gets into the conven- geous to them, with behind-the-scenes

bargaining rampant.

Trump and Cruz could have enough delegates combined to back rules making it virtually impossible for a third rival to emerge.

On the other hand, Republicans looking to block the two leaders could seek support for rules making it easier for a savior like House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who has voiced disinterest, to gallop in and become the nominee.

“The golden rule of conventions is he who has the votes makes the rules,” said GOP operative John Yob, author of a book titled, “Chaos: The Outsider’s Guide to a Contested Republican National Convention, 2016.”

HIDDEN HAZARD

While most delegates must initially vote for the nominee they’re elected to represent, they don’t have to back that contender’s preferred rules package.

The candidates personally select only about a quarter of the delegates, leaving many who might secretly prefer a different contender. Campaigns are aggressively recruiting supporters to become delegates.

“Without knowing who the delegates are and who they’re sympathetic

to,” said Josh Putnam, a University of Georgia lecturer and delegate process expert, “trying to assess what the convention is likely to do is next to impossible.”

NIGHTMARE SCENARIO

The nation’s prime-time television viewers could end up watching bitter battles on the convention floor over contested delegates, rules and the party platform before they even get to nominations.

Or they could view bored delegates killing time as deals are cut backstage, instead of speeches and choreographed displays of unity aimed at revving up voters. Endless roll calls, another possibility, are TV ratings killers.

“The single worst thing that can happen for Republicans is they reach Thursday and don’t have a nominee,” said Randy Evans, a Republican National Committee member and convention delegate from Georgia.

That might mean expired hotel reservations, delegates leaving and the convention having to halt and reconvene later. That would be a damaging, cumbersome and time-consuming process.

The Stages of Cancer SPONSORED BY

By Diane Krieger Spivak Staging helps describe where a cancer is located, if or where it has spread, and whether it is affecting other parts of the body. Knowing the stage helps the doctor plan treatment, according to cancer.net.

A pathologist is a doctor who studies tissues and body fluids to diagnose and monitor medical conditions.

During cancer surgery, a Centegra Health System physician removes a tumor and sends it to a pathologist for examination.

“Pathologists measure the size of the tumor with a microscope to determine how big it is and that determines the T stage of the tumor,” said Dr. Wendy Ward, staff physician at Centegra Health System, in McHenry. The T stage is the size

of the tumor. “We also study the lymph nodes to determine whether the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes. The clinicians are involved in other aspects of staging, like whether there are metastases to other parts of the body.”

Metastasis refers to the spread of cancer beyond its original site.

Under the microscope cancer cells look different from normal cells.

“Because they’ve lost control of their growth and division they’re often larger, and the nucleus is larger and darker than normal,” Dr. Ward said.

“They’re filled with extra DNA and they often show many atypical mitotic figures.”

If left untreated, cancer can then grow throughout healthy tissues.

That’s why Centegra is dedicated to finding cancer early.

SEATTLE – When pondering how to keep low-level drug offenders out of jail, officials in Albany, New York, faced a challenge: How could they pay for a case manager to coax addicts onto the straight and narrow, sometimes by tracking them down on the streets?

The money turned up in a previously untapped source: President Barack Obama’s health care law, which by expanding Medicaid in some states has made repeat drug offenders eligible for coverage, including many who are homeless or mentally ill and have never been covered before.

The idea could make the joint federal and state health insurance program for the poor into a new tool for shifting addicts out of the criminal-justice system. Advocates hope to prove that the concept works, possibly paving the way for more cities to try it as an alternative to the drug war.

Many repeat drug offenders are “precisely the population Medicaid expansion was designed to cover,” said Gabriel Sayegh, co-founder of the Katal Center for Health, Equity and Justice, an advocacy group that aims to reduce incarceration rates and promote drug

trying to reconnect with the public they serve.

“This shows the community we’re willing to try different things,” Albany Police Chief Brendan Cox said. “This just makes all the sense in the world.”

Albany’s efforts and others have been based on a highly touted Seattle program called Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion, or LEAD. Launched in 2011, it aims to keep people out of prison by focusing on those who use a disproportionate share of public resources by repeatedly getting arrested or seeking care at emergency rooms.

Instead of booking those addicts or prostitutes into jail, police contact program employees, who meet with the offenders and try to enlist them in social services. That can mean getting them a pair of shoes or a bus pass to help keep appointments; buying them groceries until they obtain food stamps; providing short-term housing or even paying for yoga, art supplies, utility bills or college classes – whatever the person needs.

Unlike in drug courts, participants are not kicked out or threatened with jail time if they relapse.

“They know we’re out there struggling,” said Jerald Brooks, one of the original participants in LEAD. “Sooner or later, you start to do a little better.”

ANOTHER VIEW

Iowa, Illinois cater to shell companies The release of the “Panama Papers” exposed, like never before, the corrupt off-shore dealings that permit the world’s rich and powerful to dodge taxes and funnel cash.

However, the names of Americans – citizens of the largest economy on the globe – were, so far, few and far between within the massive trove of information.

The dearth of American-owned offshore shell companies shouldn’t be a shock, federal regulators and transparency advocates say. Iowa and Illinois are among the states that, through non-existent disclosure requirements, make the U.S. a tax-dodger’s paradise.

The problem, advocates and government officials often say, is states such as Iowa and Illinois don’t even require the names of the would-be corporation’s stockholders.

Iowa asks only four questions – none of which are about who owns or runs the business – on its LLC formation form. Illinois is only slightly more rigid, requiring the name of the “manager,” who typically doesn’t actually own the business.

In both states, legislative action likely would be required for any meaningful change. Yet, lawmakers in Illinois and Iowa dawdle.

A decade ago, the U.S. Treasury Department began questioning the lack of ownership disclosure in more than a dozen states. Fourteen states, including Iowa, require neither the identities of an LLC “manager” nor ownership, Treasury concluded in its 2006 report “The Role of Domestic Shell Companies in Financial Crime and Money Laundering.”

These states do not “impose effective accountability safeguards” against crime and tax evasion, the agency said. Under the guise of national security, the U.S. Senate repeatedly has tried to force the states to better track the identities of corporate owners. Even the fear of funding terrorism hasn’t been enough to overcome the cries of business advocacy groups and corporate-friendly governors, which kill the bills in the U.S. House.

Some now call the U.S. the “offshore’s offshore.”

The U.S. ranks third in global financial secrecy, behind Kenya and Switzerland, the Tax Justice Network said. The fact the American gentry apparently sees little need to stash cash off-shore is of public concern. It’s particularly troubling in an era of soaring income inequality and decaying infrastructure.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Turning back time harms real people Some degree of backlash to the Supreme Court’s legalization of same-sex marriage was to be expected. That does not excuse the actions of several Southern states over the past few weeks.

North Carolina’s leaders approved a law barring cities and towns from offering protections to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people based on trumped-up fears about transgender people using bathrooms that conform to their gender identity.

Transgender people make up a small and often misunderstood group that poses no risk to bathroom users; those most injured by the bill will be children and teenagers who do not conform to traditional gender norms. And North Carolina’s lawmakers used misunderstandings and fears about transgender people to deny basic civil rights protections to gay men and lesbians, too.

Then Mississippi lawmakers passed a bill allowing businesses and government officials to refuse to serve same-sex couples

seeking to marry. Particularly galling are the bill’s protections for government workers who do not want to perform their duties, such as clerks who do not want to issue marriage licenses to samesex couples. The bill also specifically assures bakers, venue owners, photographers, DJs and others they can turn away samesex couples. Lawmakers argue all they are doing is protecting religious liberty.

That is misleading. No one, and certainly not the Supreme Court, is requiring pastors or other religious officials to officiate at same-sex ceremonies.

But when businesses enter the public arena, they should expect to serve all customers.

Now Tennessee lawmakers have reopened debate on a bill requiring transgender students to use the bathrooms that accord to the sex they were assigned at birth.

Even as these skirmishes heat up, it is important to keep the big picture in mind. The cause of nondiscrimination has

advanced rapidly over the past several years – further and faster than seemed possible only a decade ago. In 2008, politicians of all stripes, including then-Sen. Barack Obama, opposed samesex marriage, which is now the law of the land. Given the scope of the Supreme Court ruling that established same-sex marriage in all 50 states, the backlash has been relatively muted.

Major corporations have pushed back hard against the raft of new state laws – PayPal in North Carolina, Nissan and Toyota in Mississippi, Alcoa in Tennessee. Corporate pressure persuaded Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal, R, to veto an anti-LGBT bill his legislature sent him. Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf, D, signed an executive order Thursday barring discrimination on the part of state agencies and contractors.

Those pressing for essential civil protections are winning the war. But the battles they lose along the way will cause real harm to real people.

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.

IT’S YOUR WRITE

Honor Equal Pay Act

To the Editor: In 1963, President John F. Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act. Fifty-three years later, equal pay for equal work still is not a reality for most women.

Fifty-three years is too long.

Wages for the same work do not result in the same pay for women.

Women worked the entire year of 2015, plus January, February and March, and finally on April 12 reached a comparable wage – 15 months’ work compared with 12 months of work for the same salary as a man’s salary. Doesn’t seem fair, does it?

Of course, despite numerous studies and surveys that confirm the existence of the pay gap, many would suggest the underpaid are somehow at fault.

To those business managers and human resources departments who have input into these salary decisions, do your own policies tacitly support these unfair practices? Are you in compliance with the spirit of this 53-year-old act?

VIEWS Rich Miller social services.

Still, the bill very well could generate some interest among rank-and-file Democrats worried about the implosion of the state’s social safety net as a possible next step in the negotiating process. For instance, the legislation appropriates more than $10 million for the Adult Redeploy program, which diverts nonviolent offenders from prison terms. That money would come from the General Revenue Fund, but the legislation also uses money from special state funds to pay for programs popular with Democrats that aren’t currently being funded by the state, such as homeless youth services.

By far, however, the most intriguing aspect of the Republican bill is what’s not in it – at least not yet. None of Gov. Rauner’s usual anti-union “poison pills” are attached. The governor has demanded the passage of several reforms as a precondition to talking about the budget, but none of those are overtly attached to this new Republican proposal.

The GOP legislation also gives the governor some spending transfer

Equal pay day will be observed April 12, 2016. There will be a rallies throughout the country. In 1963, the gap was 59 percent – women made 59 percent of a man’s wage. We’re at 79 percent today. Let’s hope the days of this observance are numbered and the observance day soon will be just another unpredictable weather day in the Midwest.

authority within the budget, but it appears to be much more limited than earlier demands for near dictatorial control over moving around just about every state dollar as he saw fit.

While the GOP appropriations bill may not actually be fully funded by its pension component, it certainly has more funding behind it than either Democratic plan out there right now.

Still more funding could be found by using part of the Democrats’ proposal, which includes forgiving about $450 million in loans from special state funds (an idea the governor previously had said he probably could live with).

The idea, it appears, is to present a far more “reasonable” GOP face than in the recent past – and put Madigan on defense for hiding behind his incessant political games and for refusing to come to the bargaining table and allowing the state to crash and burn while waiting for the governor to cave.

An official close to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said last week his boss and Gov. Rauner regularly have spoken with each other despite all the harsh public back and forth sniping between the two men. The governor, he said, claims he wants to make a deal.

But Speaker Madigan just doesn’t believe private talks with the gover-

nor will work because they obviously haven’t borne fruit since this crisis began in late May of last year, when the Democrats rammed through a hugely unbalanced budget, which then almost completely was vetoed by Rauner.

Look, I totally get the lack of trust the Democrats have for this governor.

He has broken confidences, broken his word and tried to break their, um, stones by hurling insults for months.

I also fully appreciate the tension that has built up on both sides during the past 14 months or so.

But it’s not like anybody’s doing anything else while we all wait around for Armageddon Day. If private negotiations are off the table, then something else has to happen.

Private negotiations are obviously preferable to public negotiations, but private negotiations are off the table right now because Madigan says so (and he has his reasons, some better than others). Public negotiations are better than no negotiations at all.

Since public negotiations are what we’ve likely been seeing lately, we’ll have to take what we can get.

Hopefully, we’ll see a counteroffer from the Democrats soon.

Dilbert comic offensive

To the Editor: In these uncertain times of terrorist attacks, and the fact ISIS publicly has beheaded Americans, I feel the Dilbert comic April 3 was inappropriate.

The statements of the two characters are offensive and inappropriate. However, I feel the fact it is in the Comics section of the paper at all is ridiculous.

The dictionary defines comics as

something relating to comedy causing laughter and/or amusement.

The “comic” statement that joining ISIS, a terrorist group responsible for killing innocent people all over the world, is as minor a teenage problem as piercing an ear or getting a tattoo is absurd.

This type of statement does not belong in a comics section of any newspaper, nor do I find it comedic in any way.

Gov. Bruce Rauner has hit a brick wall trying to convince House Speaker Michael Madigan to come to the negotiating table to talk about ending the long governmental impasse and then working out a budget deal. So, after holding numerous public appearances to demand a sit-down, Rauner shifted gears last week when his two Republican legislative leaders trotted out a new spending plan to provide $1.3 billion to fund human services and other programs.

The proposal partly would be funded with some pension reforms, which Republicans claim will save $780 million. The reforms include pushing off pension costs to local schools and to higher education institutions for salaries above $180,000 a year and for some accounting changes. But there are relatively few employees making over $180K a year, and the $780 million is about a third of the state’s annual “normal costs” for pensions, so it seems somewhat difficult to believe these savings are actually as high as billed.

Even if the money is real, the $1.3 billion GOP proposal is significantly smaller than either appropriations bill passed by the majority parties.

The Senate Democrats’ spending plan was pegged at about $3.8 billion, with half of that ($1.9 billion) going to

You might soon be texting robots

By BRANDON BAILEY The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO – The robots are coming – to help run your life or sell you stuff – at an online texting service near you.

In coming months, users of Facebook’s Messenger app, Microsoft’s Skype and Canada’s Kik can expect to find new automated assistants offering information and services at a variety of businesses. These messaging “chatbots” are basically software that can conduct human-like conversation and do simple jobs once reserved for people.

Google and other companies reportedly are working on similar ideas.

In Asia, software butlers already are part of the landscape. When Washington, D.C., attorney Samantha Guo visited China recently, the 32-year-old said she was amazed at how extensively her friends used bots and similar technology on the texting service WeChat to pay for meals, order movie tickets and even send each other gifts.

“It was mind-blowing,” Guo said.

U.S. services lag way behind, she added.

Online messaging has become routine for most people, offering more immediacy than email or voice calls, said Michael Wolf, a media and technology consultant. Messaging services now are growing faster than traditional online social platforms, such as Facebook or Twitter, according to research by Wolf’s firm, Activate.

Experts say messaging bots can handle a wider range of tasks than apps offered by retailers and other consumer

In coming months, people who use Messenger, Skype or Canada’s Kik for online chats can expect to see all kinds of businesses offering information and other services with the help of messaging “bots,” or software that’s capable of human-like conversation. businesses. In part, that’s because bots can recognize a variety of spoken or typed phrases, where apps force users to choose from options on a drop-down menu. Reaching a chatbot can be as simple as clicking a link in an online ad or scanning a boxy bar code with a smartphone camera. A special-purpose app requires a download and often a new account sign-up.

“Bots are the new apps,” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said last month.

Microsoft has just created new programming tools for businesses to build bots that will interact with customers on Skype, the Microsoft-owned Internet

voice, video and messaging service.

Facebook is widely expected to unveil similar tools for its Messenger chat service at the company’s annual software conference starting Tuesday. It’s already partnered with a few online retailers and transportation companies so consumers can use Messenger to check the status of a clothing purchase from online retailer Zulily, order car service from Uber or get a boarding pass from KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

At those services, automated chatbots handle some interactions, with supervision from human operators.

Similarly, Facebook has been testing

a digital assistant called “M’’ – sort of like Apple’s Siri or Microsoft’s Cortana – that can answer questions or perform tasks such as ordering flowers in response to commands on Messenger. It uses a combination of artificial intelligence and input from human overseers.

Another messaging service, Kik, which is popular among U.S. teenagers, opened a new “bot shop” last week.

Kik users can talk to bots that will answer questions about the weather, show funny videos or help with online shopping. Slack, a messaging service used by businesses, has partnered with Taco Bell to introduce a “Taco Bot” that helps Slack users order ahead for meals at a local outlet.

In Asia, many smartphone owners are used to playing games and buying items through messaging services such as WeChat, which claims 700 million active users. One in five WeChat users has added bank or credit card information so that person can check balances, pay bills or send money to friends, according to the Andreesen Horowitz venture capital firm.

Tech experts are particularly eager to see what Facebook does with Messenger, since its 900 million users make it the world’s second biggest chat platform after WhatsApp, which claims 1 billion users. Facebook bought WhatsApp in 2014.

Both are free to users and don’t produce much revenue for Facebook, but if Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has given WhatsApp’s co-founders leeway with their service, executives have signaled they are increasingly looking for ways to make money from Messenger.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 2016

LOS ANGELES – A judge said Monday that she is inclined to allow Blake Shelton’s defamation lawsuit against the publisher of In Touch Weekly to proceed based on a headline that proclaimed the country star was headed to rehab.

U.S. District Judge Christina Snyder delivered her tentative ruling Monday in Los Angeles, saying it appeared In Touch “cherry-picked” facts to support its “Rehab for Blake” headline that appeared on a September 2015 magazine cover. Shelton sued Bauer Publishing Co. in October over the headline and an accompanying story that included several anecdotes of the country music star’s supposed drunken antics.

Sketch-comedy series ‘MADtv’ returning to TV

AP file photo

Author John Green attends the premiere of “Paper Towns” on July 21 in New York. The top 10 list of “challenged” books at public schools and libraries, released Monday by the American Library Association includes Green’s “Looking for Alaska.”

Bible on list of ‘challenged’ books NEW YORK – On the latest list of books most objected to at public schools and libraries, one title has been targeted nationwide, at times for the sex and violence it contains, but mostly for the legal issues it raises.

The Bible.

“You have people who feel that if a school library buys a copy of the Bible, it’s a violation of church and state,” said James LaRue, who directs the Office for Intellectual Freedom for the American Library Association, which released its annual 10 top snapshot of “challenged” books on Monday, part of the association’s “State of Libraries Report” for 2016.

“And sometimes there’s a retaliatory action, where a religious group has objected to a book and a parent might respond by objecting to the Bible.”

LaRue emphasized that the library association does not oppose having Bibles in public schools. Guidelines

for the Office for Intellectual Freedom note that the Bible “does not violate the separation of church and state as long as the library does not endorse or promote the views included in the Bible.” The ALA also favors including a wide range of religious materials, from the Quran to the Bhagavad Gita to the Book of Mormon. LaRue added that the association does hear of complaints about the Quran, but fewer than for the Bible.

The Bible finished sixth on a list topped by John Green’s “Looking for Alaska,” which has been cited for “offensive language” and sexual content.

The runner-up, challenged for obvious reasons, was E L James’ raunchy romance “Fifty Shades of Grey.”

“I Am Jazz,” a transgender picture book by Jessica Herthel and Jazz Jennings, was No. 3, followed by another transgender story, Susan Kuklin’s “Beyond Magenta.”

LOS ANGELES – The sketch comedy series “MADtv” is making a comeback.

The CW network said it will air eight new one-hour episodes. The show’s format will include its signature pop-culture parodies and “politically incorrect humor,” the network said Monday.

Cast members were not announced, but CW said the reincarnated “MADtv” will star up-and-coming comedy voices. The show’s hosts will be cast members from the original late-night series, which aired on Fox from 1995 to 2009.

Episodes from that 14-season run are available to stream on CW Seed, the CW’s digital network. Among the many celebrities who appeared on the show: Jack Black, Halle Berry, George Carlin and Jay Z. A premiere date for the new “MADtv” was not announced.

Al-Jazeera America network shuts down Tuesday

NEW YORK – Al-Jazeera America, which couldn’t attract an audience to another cable news network in the U.S., signs off Tuesday night after a three-hour live farewell designed to highlight its work since a 2013 launch.

The farewell begins at 5 p.m. and will be repeated immediately before Al-Jazeera America goes dark. Local cable and satellite

operators will decide what replaces the channel in their markets.

The Qatar-based Al-Jazeera network announced in January that it was shutting down the U.S.-based offshoot, calling it an economic decision. Backed by a deep-pocketed parent company, Al-Jazeera America began with lofty goals of offering serious-minded news and won some awards for its work. But when few people watched and oil prices plummeted, there was a limit to how much the company would spend.

Justin Bieber is following behind the “Can’t Feel My Face” singer with 11 nominations, including top artist and top male artist.

Fetty Wap and Drake are each up for 10 awards. Drake will compete against himself in the top rap album category with “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late” and his collaboration with Future on “What A Time To Be Alive.”

Adele and Taylor Swift are tied with eight nominations, including top artist, top female artist, top Billboard 200 artist and top Billboard 200 album – all of which Swift won at last year’s ceremony.

Long live the business tablet

As demand for consumer tablet weakens, professionals give it new purpose

By ANICK JESDANUN The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Tablets may never again be the consumer sensation they once were, but they are finding new life among professionals.

Apple took aim at that market in announcing a second iPad Pro model last month. Samsung also started selling the Windows-based Galaxy TabPro S, while Microsoft doubled down on its Surface tablet business last fall with Surface Book, a laptop whose keyboard pops off to leave behind a tablet. Google has its own using Android, the Pixel C. Unlike early models, these tablets are meant to be used with a physical keyboard and a stylus. That makes them appealing to people looking to get stuff done, whether that’s typing a report or drawing on a graphics app.

“It’s no secret the tablet business has slowed down overall except in places where there’s productivity,” said Gary Riding, a senior vice president for mobile computing marketing at Samsung. (“Productivity,” in this case, being jargon for work as opposed to play.)

These new devices also have higher price tags. Many sell for almost $1,000, or even more with accessories. Companies market them as PC replacements rather than devices for watching video, reading books and playing games – that is, things you already can do with your phone.

The Surface Pro 3 is “much thinner than a laptop, and when you have the case with the keyboard, it’s essentially a laptop,” said Ryan Hastman, who now leaves his Mac laptop behind while traveling to raise money for the University of Alberta in Canada.

Tablet shipments fell 10 percent to 207 million worldwide last year and are projected to fall another 6 percent this year, according to IDC. But one subset – tablets with detachable keyboards – more than doubled to 17 million last year. It’s projected to grow to 64 million in 2020 and represent 30 percent of the overall tablet market, rather than 8 percent now.

“It’s not all doom and gloom,” IDC analyst Jitesh Ubrani said. “Microsoft’s done a very good job at marketing detachables. Everyone’s now jumping on that bandwagon.”

In a sense, Apple was a victim of its own success following the iPad’s debut in 2010. Tablets took off with

Panos Panay, Microsoft’s vice president for Surface Computing, talks about the new Surface Pro 4 tablet during a presentation in New York. Microsoft made a bet on the professional market with the Surface business. consumers who found them appealing replacements for home laptops. But people haven’t replaced them as often as phones. And as phones got bigger, some people began wondering whether they needed a tablet at all.

Enter Microsoft, long the king of “productivity” software, which in 2012 designed a tablet that ran Windows and targeted professionals. The Microsoft Surface didn’t have the fun apps that iPads and Android tablets had, but it had Word, Excel and other Office apps long before entertainment-oriented devices did. It also has a USB port and other features missing in most tablets.

It took Microsoft two years to get it right, though. The Pro 3 in 2014 was the first Surface with a fully adjustable kickstand that mimicked the flexibility of laptop screens. And last fall’s models were the first Surface devices with Windows 10, which mirrored traditional PCs much more than the Windows 8 it replaced.

“Everyone wants a tablet, and

everyone needs a laptop,” said Brian Hall, Microsoft’s general manager for Surface. “You can have an approach that says people need to buy one of each, or you can have an approach that says there’s a happy medium.”

The holiday quarter was the best yet for Surface, with revenue increasing 29 percent to $1.35 billion.

But don’t count Apple out. IDC estimates Apple sold more than 2 million iPad Pros in the holiday quarter when it launched, compared with 1.6 million units for Surface. Apple’s advantage: apps designed from the start for touch screens and battery conservation, rather than ones adapted from the mouse-and-keyboard world of pluggedin Windows PCs. Now, Apple is giving customers additional choice – a 9.7-inch iPad Pro that starts at $599, $200 cheaper than the 12.9-inch original (add about $250 for the keyboard and stylus). Just as Microsoft and Samsung have done, Apple is targeting the hundreds of millions of people whose Windows

machines are at least five years old.

Apple says most iPad Pro customers are coming from Windows.

Bryan O’Neil Hughes, head of outreach and collaboration for software maker Adobe, said a faster processor and better graphics make the Pro something people choose – rather than settle for – when replacing PCs. Many professionals in creative industries, he said, prefer tablets over laptops for presentations, sketching and design.

That’s not to say PCs are going away. Hall acknowledges people have cheaper options with traditional laptops. And entertainment-focused tablets aren’t going away, either. Amazon has a healthy business selling such devices for as low as $50 – creating its own niche, just as Apple, Samsung and Microsoft are with professionals.

“This is what happens as markets mature,” said Jan Dawson, chief analyst with Jackdaw Research. “There’s a lot more market that can only be served with niche and segmented products.”

TECH Triona Guidry objects. Smart cars, fitness gadgets, kids’ toys, even basic household appliances such as electric water kettles can connect via WiFi or Bluetooth. And, like other Internet-connected devices, they can be hacked.

But hacking is not the only threat.

What happens when companies go out of business or sell to other companies?

Recently, thermostat maker Nest (owned by Google) announced smart home hubs from Revolv, a company acquired by Nest in 2014, will stop working in May. Owners are left in the lurch with few options or resources.

When considering smart home tech, ask: • What data does this device collect?

• Where does it send my data?

• Can I opt out or store my data on

the local device instead?

• How long is my data retained?

• Am I comfortable sharing this data?

• Am I willing to trade security and privacy for the functionality this device provides?

• What happens when this device becomes obsolete?

When installing smart home devices, change the default passwords immediately. Use strong passwords that are different for each of your devices as well as all of your Internet accounts.

Yes, that means a different password for every single site and device. People often ignore this vital piece of advice, but passwords, though far from perfect, remain one of your best defenses.

Use strong protection on your home and office wireless networks. WEP is not good enough; you need WPA or WPA2. Use a complex, preferably random passphrase. Don’t connect your smart devices to public WiFi networks.

Instead, use a VPN or a private wireless

A parenting blog

tether such as those offered with some smart phones.

Double-check default security settings and reconfigure them as needed.

If you don’t need to send data, don’t.

Avoid syncing devices with social media, as this is a quick way to introduce malware into your network. Check the manufacturer’s website for device updates, and install them regularly.

While all of these precautions are worthwhile, nothing will keep your data safe if the server is hacked or the company goes out of business. That’s why you should research smart devices before incorporating them into your home, keep an eye on the data your devices are collecting and have a plan in place for eventual upgrade or replacement.

Smart home technology is all around us. From wireless thermostats to automatic lights, everyday objects are going online and app-enabled. Consumers can buy these devices in nearly any home-improvement store, but unfortunately many don’t realize smart technology often comes with poor security.

The computer industry is abuzz with concern smart home tech is putting consumers at risk of data and privacy theft. Companies are slapping Internet connectivity onto products as fast as they can, but they’re not necessarily making customer privacy a priority.

Data breaches involving smart home tech are rampant. Yet most consumers don’t know this, unless they happen to follow trends in information technology.

Meanwhile, more of these devices are entering the market. It’s not just smart home technology, but smart technology within the home. Collectively, we call this the “Internet of Things,” online technology built into everyday

Immune response can lead to sepsis Dear Dr. K: My father had routine surgery. Soon after, he developed something called sepsis that almost killed him. He’s OK now, but I’d like to understand what happened to him.

Dear Reader: He and you are lucky. Not everyone makes it. Sepsis is a condition in which the immune system goes awry.

Think of the immune system as our personal army, with an arsenal of weapons. It is meant to protect us from foreign invaders (such as germs). Unfortunately, in attacking foreign germs, it sometimes can go overboard – and its weapons can injure us.

The condition that often triggers sepsis is a bacterial infection. Other causes can lead to sepsis, including autoimmune diseases, surgery and severe burns. In all of these cases, the immune system is being called to help us heal from some injury. However, when the immune response is both too vigorous and too prolonged, healthy tissues can be damaged.

Sepsis is treated with antibiotics; the idea is to kill the bacteria that have triggered the attack by the immune system.

Drugs that increase blood pressure also may be given since sepsis often results in low blood pressure. A person also might need supplemental oxygen and intravenous fluids, depending on his or her symptoms.

Sepsis is fairly common. There are between 1 million and 2 million cases every year in the United States. A decade ago, I was one of those cases. I had many of the main features of sepsis. Fairly suddenly, I felt completely exhausted and had a very high fever. I developed a rapid heart rate, rapid breathing, low blood pressure, pale and mottled skin, very high numbers of white blood cells, very high blood markers of inflammation and somewhat low

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff levels of oxygen in the blood.

I don’t think I had an alteration in my mental state, as some people with sepsis do. Then again, a person with an altered mental state isn’t the best judge of whether he has an altered mental state.

I was pretty sick for a few days, but I recovered fully. I was lucky. If sepsis is not promptly recognized and treated, it can cause the lungs, kidneys, liver, heart and brain to fail.

Certain people appear to be at increased risk for sepsis. They include people older than age 65, people with diabetes, people with cancer and people who are taking drugs that suppress the immune system.

Two common bacterial infections that can cause sepsis, particularly in older people, are pneumonia and urinary tract infection. I urge my older patients to call me promptly if they develop an unusual cough or breathlessness (possible symptoms of pneumonia) or painful and frequent urination (possible symptoms of urinary infection).

It was a weird experience to be a doctor, to have a sudden medical emergency and to know exactly what was happening.

Fortunately, I was at the hospital when I got sick and got prompt treatment. I’ll never know for sure, but I think it saved my life.

• Tuesday, April 12, 2016

Recently, a guy I’ve known for more than a year decided it would be best for us to part ways. Before Christmas, I had asked what he would like for Christmas. His response was, “I don’t want anything for Christmas – I want you.”

A couple of weeks later, he told me the pictures, nightstand, candy dishes and candleholders he had in my apartment were gifts from him because he loved me. Tonight, he packed everything up and left. I don’t know exactly why, but I think it has more to do with his own issues than about me.

Abby, I feel I have been manipulated and used. Ironically, this man I thought was a friend is a psychotherapist. While we were together, he would discuss confidential information about some of his clients with me.

I think I should report him, but on the other hand, I’m asking myself whether I’m only looking for revenge.

Should I leave it alone, or report him to the American Psychological Association? Or am I overreacting to losing him? I still feel really mixed up. – Vengeful In Minnesota Dear Vengeful: Psychotherapists are not gods, and like other human beings, they can have their flaws. I understand why you would be hurt and disappointed. However, rather than look for revenge, you should consider yourself lucky you didn’t invest more time in this flake.

As to whether you should report his breach of professional ethics to the APA, I think for the sake of the patients/clients whose trust he has betrayed, you should do exactly that – but after your anger is no longer raging.

Dear Abby: I’m wondering if I have an issue or if what concerns me is fairly normal. I am 31 years old and have three daughters, two stepsons, an ex-wife and one current wife.

I have been asked most of my adult life, as I’m sure most people have, “Where do you see yourself in five years? Ten years?” For some reason, I can’t figure out how to answer this question. There are many variables at play, and many lives would be affected by my pursuing what I want in five to 10 years.

I can’t say I’m going to be “here doing this in five years” because I have no idea what might change.

Do I need professional help? It upsets my wife when she wants to talk about the future and I can’t give her an answer. – Confused

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Take an energetic approach in order to reach your goals. Walk away from situations that cannot be resolved. Knowing when to say no and when to pick up the pace will make a difference this year. Strive for success instead of wallowing in your mistakes.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – A laid-back approach to whatever challenge you face will help you avoid an emotional confrontation.

Concentrate on yourself and being your very best. Choose romance over bickering.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Treat a loved one to something out of the ordinary. Sharing

information and participating in something that appears to be opportunistic will pay off. Home improvements will boost your morale.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You should stay on top of your game and keep a watchful eye on anyone you think might pose a problem. The less you share, the easier it will be to accomplish your goals.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Emotions will spin out of control if you react too quickly to what someone implies. Do your research and opt to do your own thing if it will keep the peace.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Do whatever it takes to enhance your position. Use your charm to entertain the people you need by your side. Play to win and plan a romantic celebration.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You have the expertise to turn a challenging situation around.

Don’t wait when you could use your intelligence to make things happen. Call in favors and offer incentives that are hard to refuse.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Think matters through and back away from anyone trying to push you in a direction that makes you feel insecure. Emotional manipulation should be something you want no part of.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Invest in one of your ideas that has long-term potential. A sideline business that relies on your talent, skills and passion will bring you satisfaction.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Spend less time interacting with friends and more time

sprucing up your home or bringing about positive personal changes that will make you feel good about your future.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – An intellectual approach and a gentle push will help you win favors and approval. If you show a little emotion, the people you encounter will relate to your concerns.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Prepare to make physical changes that will enhance your looks and grab the attention of someone you hold dear to your heart. Embrace a challenge wholeheartedly.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t make the same mistake twice. A creative idea can be developed, but don’t present it until you have addressed every detail.

OFFICE HELP – PT

Jacques Maritain, a French philosopher who died in 1973, said, “A single idea, if it is right, saves us the labor of an infinity of experiences.”

That applies to a splinter bid.

Partner opens one heart, and you respond four clubs. What does that mean? In the old days, it was pre-emptive, showing many clubs and few points. It had two big drawbacks: it almost never came up, and it took the auction past three no-trump.

The splinter bid was invented independently by two Americans, Dorothy Hayden (who became Dorothy Truscott in 1972) and Dave Leigh Cliff. It shows a big fit for partner’s last-bid suit, at least game-forcing values and a singleton (or void) in the suit just named -- North’s four-club response in today’s deal.

South, with a strong hand, uses Blackwood before stopping in six hearts when he learns that a key king is missing.

After West leads the spade queen, how should South play?

Considering the trump suit in isolation, the percentage play for no losers -- by about two percent -- is to cash the ace. But that is the wrong play here. Declarer should take both of his spade tricks, cash the club ace, and ruff the club six in the dummy.

Then he runs the heart queen (unless East shows out or covers with the king, of course). Here, the finesse wins and South is playing for an overtrick. But suppose West takes the trick with a singleton heart king. He is endplayed, forced either to lead into declarer’s diamond tenace or to concede a ruff-and-sluff. Whichever he chooses, South loses no diamond trick.

Tigers hang on to end skid at 2

By ALEX KANTECKI

From Twitter @DCHSGirlsTrack

akantecki@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Crystal Lake Central softball coach Brian Strombom feels his team’s performance last week that resulted in two losses was not indicative of the Tigers’ true talent.

“We took time off for spring break, and when it was time to get back last week, it was tough for us to put it all together,” Strombom said. “We didn’t have hardly any time on the field, and we played like it.”

The Tigers were shut out and lost to Marian Central by mercy rule Tuesday and let a late lead against Belvidere North disappear Thursday, resulting in the team’s first two losses of the year after a 3-0 start.

On Monday, the Tigers looked lively against their crosstown rivals, upending Crystal Lake South, 6-5, in a Fox Valley Conference crossover to end the team’s two-game skid.

Senior Amy Walsh pitched all seven innings for the Tigers (4-2) to earn the victory, allowing three earned runs on seven hits with 11 strikeouts and two walks. She also set up the offense by going 4 for 4 with three stolen bases and three runs scored from the leadoff spot.

The Gators (2-2) scored two runs in the first inning to grab the early lead and made things interesting in the top of the seventh, scoring twice on two hits and an error after they trailed, 6-3, after six.

South’s Taylor Kassel ripped her second two-run double of the game with one out to drive in Maddie Bush and Carly Chovanec, but Walsh retired the next two batters on a groundout to second and a lineout to first.

Tigers first baseman Savanah Frank had little time to react to snag a hard liner off the bat of South’s Sam Schettl but was relieved the ball came her way for the game’s final out.

“To get the last out for my team, I was little nervous because I didn’t perform well earlier. I’m glad it came to me. I really wanted the ball,” said Frank, who finished 2 for 3 and drove in two. “I knew Amy could get the job done. She’s very good at coming back in hard situations.”

Walsh, Kelly Iwamoto and Frank – batting 1, 2, 3 – combined to go 8 for 10 with four RBIs and five runs scored. Iwamoto and Frank had all four of Central’s run-producing hits (the two remaining runs came on errors).

Iwamoto reached base three times, adding a double, two steals, two runs and two RBIs. “I guess we kind of rely on them a lot,” Strombom said of his trio of hitters.

“But they’re good for it. They just keep on producing. When we put those three at the top, and they’re just right in a line, you can’t avoid anybody. … I like the way that they’re playing, and drawing off each other.”

Monica Menas, who started at catcher, gives Central four seniors at the top, but she left the game in the third after falling to the ground out of the batter’s box on a groundout.

She had to be helped off the field by Strombom, who called the injury a sore knee. Menas was being looked at by trainers after the game.

For the Gators, coach Scott Busam was happy with the way his team started and finished but was discouraged by the middle innings.

“We had a lot of ‘want-to’ in the first inning, and that sense of urgency in the seventh, and a lot of coasting two through six,” Busam said. “We’re

Suspended Browns receiver Josh Gordon might be in trouble with the NFL again. A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that Gordon has “raised a red flag” because of a recent league-administered drug test. The Josh Gordon person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because results of NFL drug tests are not made public, said Gordon didn’t have a positive substance abuse test. But a sample collected in March showed Gordon had traces of marijuana and a diluting substance in his system. The level of marijuana was less than the minimum required by the NFL for a positive test.

Brittany Lownds and Katie Mahoney were rewarded for their patience through their stressful and prolonged volleyball recruitment processes.

Most high school seniors have known for a while where they will play this fall. Lownds, who played outside hitter for Crystal Lake Central, and Mahoney, who played that same position at Jacobs, Brittany committed to NCAA Divi- Lownds sion I schools Sunday.

Lownds (5-foot-9) will play at Bradley; Mahoney will head to Eastern Washington in Cheney. The two play on Sky High Volleyball Club’s top team, 18 Black.

“It was kind of stress- Katie ful,” said Lownds, a Mahoney Northwest Herald All-Area second-team selection.

“Knowing our [Sky High] team was really good and doing a lot of great things, I had faith in myself as a player. I was glad to wait it out and see my options and to make the best deciZach sion.”

Lownds said she will Knobloch be a preferred walk-on for the Braves, where she will join 2015 Northwest Herald Player of the Year Erin Olson of Cary-Grove. Olson was recruited by former Bradley coach Jenny Maurer, who left to become associate head coach at Central Florida. Lownds has played club with Olson for three years and played beach volleyball with her the past two years.

Carol Price-Torok was hired to succeed Maurer at Bradley.

“After a qualifier that we had, Erin told me her coach was interested in me and told me to contact [Price-Torok],” Lownds said. “I went for a visit with Erin and it all came together.”

Lownds can earn a scholarship as she contributes more to Bradley’s team.

“I should be the next one to get one,” Lownds said.

Lownds had considered Canisius and New Jersey Institute of Technology before the opportunity at Bradley transpired.

Mahoney also considered NJIT, along with Northern Illinois and Arkansas-Pine Bluff. She felt fortunate Eastern Washington still had a scholarship available.

“I’m not sure why [one was available]. I got a full ride,” Mahoney said.

Mahoney was seen by Eastern Washington when Sky High competed in a tournament in Denver in February. She visited the school last week. Mahoney (6-1) experienced a setback in her recruiting after missing 10 months with injuries to both ankles.

“I was getting recruited by pretty big schools, and the end of my sophomore year I tore ligaments in my right ankle,” Mahoney said. “I came back for high school and did the same thing to my left ankle, and had surgery on that one. It was nerve-wracking. Will I even get a scholarship? Will these schools have room for me?”

Mahoney said her ankles have healed 100 percent and returned for her senior season and with Sky High’s 18 Black, and landed a scholarship.

Knobloch to Whitewater: Marengo senior Zach Knobloch, who is No. 3 on the state’s career list for 3-pointers (380), decided to attend D-III Wisconsin-Whitewater and play basketball.

Knobloch set the state’s single-season record with 167 3s in 2015. The 6-0 guard was the 2015 Northwest Herald Player of the Year, then hit 124 3s this season and was an All-Area first-team selection.

“That I could come in right away and make an impact as a starter or sixth man,” Knobloch said was the deciding factor.

“They’re losing a lot of senior guards.

They need some new guys to step up, and I thought I’d be a good fit for their program.

Their coaching staff was really excited about me.”

Knobloch said he felt he was Whitewater’s recruiting priority, where other schools he considered were recruiting several guards. He was looking at D-II schools Grand Valley (Michigan) State and Wisconsin-Parkside, along with D-III schools Illinois Wesleyan and Augustana.

Knobloch scored 22 points a game, hit 89.3 percent on free throws and was a Class 3A All-State third-team selection by The Associated Press. He will join Burlington Central 6-6 forward Ryan Fitzgerald with the Warhawks next season.

“We went up there for a scrimmage and rode together and had a good talk,” Knobloch said. “He’s a good kid.”

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK DANNY SCHMIDT Cary-Grove, sr., P Schmidt fired a perfect game to beat Woodstock, 5-0, Tuesday in a Fox Valley Conference crossover game at Emricson Park.

The left-hander struck out 10 and induced 10 groundball outs to go with one fly out.

Schmidt needed only 80 pitches for his gem, 57 of which were strikes. Because FVC crossover games count in the division standings, it got the defending FVC Valley Division champions off to a 1-0 start.

three bases, which then set up a pair of sacrifice flies by Rylie Porretto and Hayley O’Mara to give the Red Raiders an early 2-0 advantage.

Shields (2 for 2, two walks) led the Red Raiders (3-3) with four steals, while Giese had three.

In the circle, Giese pitched a complete game, allowing six earned runs on 11 hits, while striking out seven.

“Overall, we had some quality swings,” Petryniec said. “Weather, some adversity today, made it challenging and these are the games you gotta win.”

Taking advantage of two Whip-Purs errors, Porretto and O’Mara added to their offensive outputs in the next inning, each knocking in a pair with tworun hits that extended their lead to six.

Porretto said she was happy with the overall cohesiveness of the Red

Raiders’ offense.

“There were some calls we wanted to get, but we overcame the adversity really well and pulled together as a team,” said Porretto, who drove in five runs, going 4 for 5.

Sarah Bowen’s RBI double and Jasmine Lopez’s two-run single brought the Whip-Purs (4-3) to within three, 6-3, after two, but were outscored, 4-3, in the remaining innings.

Lopez led the Whip-Purs with three hits, all singles, and had two RBIs. She also pitched five innings, giving up four runs. Alyssa Snider also had a two-run double.

“We did not come mentally focused,” Whip-Purs coach Kelly Wasilewski said. “We did not come mentally ready. They haven’t seen anyone be that aggressive, but that’s still not an excuse.”

In the fourth round, Johnsburg’s Amber Humphres scored in the bottom left corner, and Giovanni saved Meghan Vasseur’s penalty to give the hosts the advantage.

After the save, Giovanni stepped to the spot herself as Johnsburg’s fifth shooter with a chance to win the game.

Her shot was saved by R-B goalkeeper Lindsy Restis to extend the shootout.

“I just had to put it behind me,” Giovanni said. “I know I just couldn’t let that take over me because I knew that I still had to be there for my team and just let it go. If I wouldn’t have, we

6 BULLS 121, PELICANS 116

Butler boosts short-handed Bulls Rose, Gibson, Gasol, Moore now spectators

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com NEW ORLEANS – Lockers still need to be cleaned out by the Bulls after Wednesday’s season finale, but souls were beginning to be cleaned out Monday.

Call it the aftermath of officially being eliminated from postseason play for the first time in seven seasons.

“Kind of speechless, but at the same time like I said a couple of days ago, we put ourselves in this position and as men we have to deal with it,” veteran Derrick Rose said, after the players woke up in New Orleans knowing their fate was sealed about 12 hours earlier, thanks to Indiana’s win over Brooklyn.

“When you look at everyone else who is making it and you are on the outside, it hurts a little bit, but it gives you a reason to go in the gym and re-

The Bulls won, 121-116. ally a reason to work on your game,” Rose said. “Don’t get me wrong, we’ve had motivation to work on our game every day, but missing the post season

is a great reason why.”

Rose didn’t feel the need to work on his game against the Pelicans, however, as it was announced he would sit the final two games. Considering his injury history, a good decision.

The point guard wasn’t alone, either, as first-year coach Fred Hoiberg also shut down Taj Gibson, E’Twaun Moore and Pau Gasol for the final two games.

Gasol was going to have an MRI on his right knee Tuesday, making sure the big man is not only healthy for the Olympics and Team Spain, but also as he is set to opt out of his player option and explore the open market.

Gasol had said in February his top priority was returning to Chicago, but according to sources he has cooled on that idea, and the feeling from the team might be mutual.

Either way, expect the only real change throughout the organization coming with the roster. Sure, the coaching staff could see a minor tweak, but for the most part the on-the-court personnel will take the fall for the now 41-40 season after the Bulls’ 121-116 win over the Pelicans.

“Obviously, it’s disappointing,” guard Jimmy Butler said of the season. “The only thing you can say is you

have to learn from it. We know what we were capable of this season. Obviously, that didn’t happen. It is what it is now. You can’t pick just one area.

It’s not always on the floor as well. I think that’s the majority of it. I think whenever we step out in between those lines, we have to be together, we have to compete start to finish.”

Butler, who scored 12 of 23 points in the final six minutes, again was asked about the ability to play alongside Rose moving forward, and seemed to have reached a limit on that question.

“C’mon, man, that [bleep] always comes up when people lose,” Butler said. “I’m tired of talking about that bull[bleep]. I ain’t answering that.”

One of many questions that can’t or won’t be answered by the Bulls as they are now a lottery team.

“The first person I’m looking at in this whole situation is me,” Hoiberg said. “I have to be better. I have to get our guys to play more consistent basketball. It will be a long offseason.

Hopefully, we’ll come out prepared in the fall and learn from some of the things that happened this year and be better.”

Nikola Mirotic added 20 points for the Bulls, and Cristiano Felicio matched his career high with 16.

BLACKHAWKS

Hawks unfazed by starting playoffs on road

By MARK POTASH

mpotash@suntimes.com Asked whether starting the first round of the playoffs against the St. Louis Blues on the road was a positive or negative, Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville didn’t hesitate.

“It’s a plus,” he said, “because that’s the way it is.”

Quenneville can afford to be so casual about being at a disadvantage against a division rival in a Stanley Cup playoff series because his team is so good at overcoming it. The Hawks are 26-23 (.531) on the road in the playoffs since the initial run to the Stanley Cup in 2010.

And they get tougher to beat on the road as the series ensues. The Hawks are 12-3 (.800) on the road in Games 5 through 7 of a playoff series since 2010, with a 5135 goal differential – only the Kings (8-6) and Lightning (5-4) are over .500 among regular playoff contenders in that span.

Perhaps even more important is their consistency. The Hawks have won at

least one road game in 17 consecutive playoff series since the beginning of the 2010 postseason and in 19 of 20 series in Quenneville’s seven seasons (the lone exception was against the Red Wings in the 2009 Western Conference final, when the Hawks lost in five games.).

So while the challenge is formidable Jonathan against the Blues, it is Toews far from daunting that knows how to win on the road.

“If you want to win the Stanley Cup, you pretty much have to,” Hawks captain Jonathan Toews said. “You have to kind of rise to the occasion and get yourself out of some tough situations.”

The Hawks’ success in road playoff games is another testament to the mental toughness, experience and ability to survive difficult moments. Last year, they were down 3-0 in the first period of their playoff opener against the Preda-

tors and rallied to win 4-3 in double overtime.

“I believe we have those intangibles,” Toews said. “That is experience is one of those things where if things are looking so good, we don’t panic and we know that we have the resilience to find ways to make things better. So we’ll go into this series focusing on the start, making sure we can play [with the lead]. But we have the confidence that we can get ourselves out of hot water if we have to.”

Teammates have learned – through experience and osmosis – how to handle the challenge of playoff hockey on the road.

“I think we have a lot of guys that kind of thrive under that atmosphere,” defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson said.

“When the crowd is screaming at you, [it] kind of adds some fuel to the fire and I guess we get even more motivated and excited to want to make plays.”

“Just being patient, not letting your emotions take over,” goalie Corey Crawford said. “Sometimes when you’re on

the road and the home crowd starts getting momentum going – don’t play into that too much and just stay focused on your game.

“It’s something that comes with experience, especially if you’re able to play further and win championships. Knowing how to play those momentum situations and key situations in a series that can maybe change a game or a series – [it’s important] to not get overwhelmed and lose your head in this situations.”

Notes: Forwards Marian Hossa (leg), Artem Anisimov (upper body) and Andrew Shaw (upper body) practiced Monday and will play in Game 1 on Wednesday, Quenneville said. Corey Crawford (upper body), who played Saturday in Columbus after missing 10 games, will start in goal. Andrew Ladd (maintenance) did not practice Monday but will play in Game 1.

The Hawks recalled defenseman David Rundblad and sent forwards Bryan Bickell and Dennis Rasmussen to Rockford.

Police arrived soon thereafter, handcuffing Possible motive in shooting death of ex-Saints DE Will Smith revealed Hayes. As paramedics wheeled Racquel

NEW ORLEANS – People across Louisiana sought Monday to process the news that one of the Saints’ much-loved players, former defensive end Will Smith, was shot in the back Saturday night in what police called a deadly act of road rage.

Smith, 34, arrived in New Orleans in 2004 as a No. 1 draft pick and played with such passion and power that he quickly became a defensive captain. Off the field, he won hearts in his adopted city, which was devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and rejuvenated when the Saints won the Super Bowl in 2009.

Police said Cardell Hayes, a former semipro football player, rear-ended Smith’s Mercedes G63 with his Humvee H2, pushing Smith’s big, blocky SUV into a Chevrolet Impala carrying Smith’s acquaintances, before Hayes opened fire.

A defense attorney for Hayes, John Fuller, said there’s more to the story: He said Hayes himself had been rear-ended moments earlier by a hit-and-run driver, and called 911 to describe the car he was following before he ran into the back of Smith’s Mercedes.

It remains unclear whether the car he was pursuing was the Mercedes, the Impala or some other unrelated car.

The two men – both big and imposing – then angrily confronted each other on Felicity Street shortly before midnight. Moments later, witnesses heard gunfire. Smith was killed by bullets to the back and torso. His wife was wounded in the leg.

Smith away on a stretcher, her husband’s arm could be seen above his steering wheel, his body slumped partially outside his car.

Hayes, 28, was being held on $1 million bond after police arrested him on a charge of second-degree murder. He was in court Monday as arrangements were made for a new lawyer to replace Fuller, who soon will begin work as a temporary judge. Prosecutors have 60 days to decide how to proceed.

Police plan to add a charge accusing Hayes of shooting Racquel Smith, spokesman Tyler Gamble said Monday.

No new bowls for 3 years as NCAA approves moratorium

The NCAA is prohibiting the creation of new bowl games for the next three years after three teams with 5-7 records were needed to fill the record number of bowls last season.

The NCAA’s football oversight committee last week recommended a three-year moratorium on sanctioning new postseason games and it was approved by the Division I Council. The oversight committee started a task force to study the Bowl Subdivision postseason after there were not enough six-win, bowl-eligible teams last season to fill the 40 games.

The committee, led by Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby, will deliver a full set of recommendations on reforming the postseason in June.

8 CUBS 5, REDS 3

No-hit into 7th, Cubs break loose

By GORDON WITTENMYER

BOX SCORE

gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

CHICAGO – The Cubs went from “speechless” to almost hitless in the span of a few hours Monday night.

Then right back to speechless again.

Two outs into the seventh without a hit, the Cubs erupted late Monday night to beat the Reds, 5-3, to run their record to a National League-best 6-1.

Addison Russell greeted reliever Jumbo Diaz in the eighth with a firstpitch, three-run homer – Russell’s first of the season – for the go-ahead shot to send a chilled and raucous crowd of more than 40,000 home singing.

The Cubs opened the day to a pomp, circumstance, a rousing reception from fans and their first hours in a firstyear, luxurious, spacious clubhouse – “the first impression was we were all speechless,” pitcher Jake Arrieta said of the 30,000-square-foot clubhouse.

But then came the hitless part of the night.

Brandon Finnegan, the left-hander who pitched in the World Series for the Kansas City Royals a few months after being drafted in the first round in 2014, baffled the Cubs through six innings and into the seventh in his first career start against them.

Finnegan, who was acquired by the Reds last July in the Johnny Cueto trade, took a no-hitter two outs deep into the seventh before career .229 hitter David Ross hit a soft single up the middle – starting what eventually turned into a two-run rally against

MINNEAPOLIS – Maybe things are different for the White Sox this season.

If they score some runs for Jose Quintana, still one of the best-kept pitching secrets in baseball, maybe the Sox will take advantage of their No. 2 starter’s talent and help him reach double-digit wins in 2016.

The Sox scored four, not a barrage by any means, but more than enough for Quintana, who threw six innings of one-run ball in a 4-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins that hiked the Sox’s tidy record to 5-2. The bullpen provided three scoreless innings and the Twins, losing their home opener, were sent

The Cubs’ Addison Russell watches his three-run home run in the eighth inning against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday at Wrigley Field. The Cubs won their home opener, 5-3. three pitchers.

Finnegan, making his sixth career start, stayed in for one more batter, walking pinch-hitter Matt Szczur on four pitches before being pulled with a career-high 111 pitches.

Finnegan turns 23 Thursday.

After the Szczur walk, right-hander Caleb Cotham replaced Finnegan and walked Dexter Fowler to load the bases with two out.

Lefty Tony Cingrani then took over for Cotham, and Jason Heyward greeted him with a two-out single to right that sent Fowler to third.

Kris Bryant then grounded sharply

to short to end the inning.

Pitching the home opener for the Cubs for the second consecutive season, veteran left-hander Jon Lester pitched better than he did in last year’s loss to the Cardinals but trailed, 3-0, when he left after six innings.

Notes: Utility man Javy Baez (thumb) started an injury rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa on Monday.

Maddon said before considering activating Baez from the disabled list he wants to see “about 20 solid plate appearances where he feels good and the people that are watching him say he looks ready.”

WHITE SOX 4, TWINS 1

home to ponder a 0-7 start over Tuesday’s off day.

With remarkably steady ERAs of 3.51, 3.32 and 3.36 while covering 200 innings in each of the past three seasons, Quintana has only nine wins in each of those years to show for it. While W’s may not mean as much to front office and metrics people as they used to, rest assured they mean plenty to pitchers. And to teammates, coaches and a manager who hold Quintana in the highest regard.

When Austin Jackson’s hooking deep fly with the bases loaded off right-hander Kyle Gibson headed toward a will-it-orwon’t-it destination toward the left-field foul pole in the fourth inning, Sox manager Robin Ventura tried to will it fair.

Hearing him recount it provided a deeper understanding of how badly the Sox

want Quintana to have something more to show for his quality body of work.

“Awwwh,” Ventura said. “Even after it went foul you’re hoping Q has something go his way. And it did. That next hit was a big one.”

Jackson got back in the box and singled in two runs to give the Sox a 3-0 lead. Brett Lawrie had punched in a run with a single to center through a drawnin infield in the second and Todd Frazier doubled in a cushion run in the ninth, scoring Jose Abreu from first.

Matt Albers extended his scoreless appearance streak to 24 dating to last year in the seventh, Zach Duke and Nate Jones combined on a scoreless eighth and David Robertson pitched a perfect ninth for his third save in as many chances.

Damaged Hair Cells

Do you sometimes feel people are mumbling or not speaking clearly? Do you find it difficult to follow a conversation in a noisy restaurant or crowded room? If so you might be interested in some recent findings.

The most common type of hearing loss is sensorineural, in which the inner ear becomes damaged. Sound travels through the ear canal, the ear drum (tympanic membrane), the middle ear, and is transmitted to the inner ear (cochlea). As sound-generated vibrations enter the cochlea, they cause microscopic hair cells to vibrate, which in-turn transmit neuro-electrical impulses to the brain. When these hair cells become damaged, they cannot vibrate in the appropriate way. The resulting impulses to the brain are dampened or garbled, making comprehension difficult or impossible. Damage to hair cells is irreparable. But compensation is possible.

It took years for your brain to learn to interpret the meaning of sounds. If the neurons that carry signals to the brain are experiencing prolonged lack of stimulation because of damaged hair cells (auditory deprivation), they degenerate, leaving dead regions where certain sound frequencies can no longer be interpreted. In

other words, “use it or lose it” applies to hearing too. Fortunately, recent advances in digital hearing technology make it possible to detect damaged and dead regions within the inner ear. Using “visual speech mapping” and “real ear measurement” processes, the highly trained audiologists and hearing instrument specialists at AccuQuest Hearing Centers (a national network of over 190 locations) can target regions of frequency loss and compensate for damaged hair cells.

This targeted stimulation of neurons can aid in making speech comprehensible again.

Hearing loss, regardless of degree, can interfere with one’s ability to participate in a world that greatly depends on communication for social, educational, and occupational activities. Not all hearing loss can be fixed with hearing aids, but there’s a good chance we can help you with yours. Please give us a chance to help before your loss worsens.

Our local experts have been trained in the most advanced fitting procedures on the most sophisticated technology available. Call today for a FREE consultation and 30day satisfaction guaranteed trial on ALL purchases.
