TODAY’S TALKER A homeless man drinks water while sitting on the beach Aug. 27, 2015, at Ala Moana Beach Park located near Waikiki in Honolulu. A Hawaii lawmaker wants to classify homelessness as a medical condition so that people could use Medicaid money for rent payments. As a doctor, Sen. Josh Green argues that he’s constantly treating homeless people in the emergency room where he works.

Bill would classify homelessness as medical condition in Hawaii

By CATHY BUSSEWITZ The Associated Press

HONOLULU – As an emergency room doctor, Hawaii Sen. Josh Green sees homeless patients suffering from diabetes, mental health problems and an array of medical issues that are more difficult to manage when they are homeless or do not have permanent housing.

That’s why Green said he wants homelessness classified under Hawaii state law as a medical condition.

If homelessness is a disease, he reasons, then doctors should be able to write prescriptions for the cure: Housing.

“It is a paradigm shift for sure, but the single best thing we can do today is to allow physicians and health care providers in general to write prescriptions for housing,” Green said.

Green last week introduced a bill in the Hawaii Legislature to classify chronic homelessness as a medical condition and require insurance companies to cover treatment of the condition.

But if a doctor wrote a prescription for six months of housing, where would the patient fill the prescription?

That’s where Green wants Medicaid to step in.

He wants to redirect some of Hawaii’s $2 billion annual Medicaid budget to pay for housing.

He said the state could spend less Medicaid money by dedicating some of it to housing instead of paying for frequent visits by homeless people to emergency rooms. A recent Universi-

WHERE IT’S AT

ty of Hawaii survey found health care costs for chronically homeless people dropped 43 percent when they had decent housing for an uninterrupted six-month period.

“Housing is health care, because it does afford a person a much greater chance of sustaining their health,” said Connie Mitchell, executive director for the Institute for Human Services, Hawaii’s largest homeless services provider.

But she cautioned that choosing who qualifies would be a challenge.

“You need to really look at when that’s appropriate, because there’s a lot of people that become homeless,” Mitchell said. “Just because they become homeless doesn’t mean it entitles them to write a prescription for a unit.”

Hawaii had the highest rate of homelessness of all U.S. states in 2015, with 53 homeless people for every 10,000 residents, according to The National Alliance to End Homelessness.

The isolated state’s high food and housing costs have prompted thousands of locally born residents and transplants to erect tents and makeshift structures for homes in parks and sidewalks on Oahu, the state’s most populated island.

Concerned about the effects on tourism, city officials have banned sitting and lying down in public spaces in the beachfront neighborhood of Waikiki and other parts of Honolulu.

The prospect of Green’s proposal passing is unclear, but Hawaii officials appear receptive to offbeat solutions. State officials last year directed more money than ever to homeless support services.

CORRECTION

Jeff Faye Sr.’s letter to the editor on Thursday’s Opinion page, headlined “Support law enforcement,” was edited incorrectly to change a sentence’s meaning. The letter should have read: “Law enforcement activities are to maintain order and protect the lives and property of citizens. Citizens of course being us.” The “us” was incorrectly changed to “of the U.S.” The Northwest Herald regrets the error.

Homelessness survey helps service providers gain funding, assess needs

By HANNAH PROKOP

hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Walking through a snowy Woodstock Square on Wednesday night, three volunteers from service providers in McHenry County searched for homeless people.

“I can’t imagine having to be out here,” Nancy Erickson of Turning Point said. “… But some people have no choice.”

This was the 16th year the McHenry County Continuum of Care to End Homelessness participated in the National Street and Shelter Point-in-Time Count, according to a news release from

During the 2016 McHenry County survey, 195 homeless people were counted on the street and in shelters, and the number hovered near the low 200s in the six years before that, according to survey records.

co-CEO of Pioneer Center and an event organizer.

Tenuto and Erin Brumfield Grima, director of PADS and prevention services at Pioneer Center, said it’s a community effort to complete the count.

Wednesday night, about 15 volunteers from agencies including Thresholds, New Life Transitions, Home of the Sparrow, McHenry County Planning and Development Department and Turning Point of McHenry County met in Woodstock before dispersing for their assigned areas throughout the county.

Before the night of the survey, volunteers consult with agencies around the county and police and look to past survey results to determine what areas to search.

Volunteers Barb Wurster and Kristen Tenore, both of Home of the Sparrow, and Erickson set out about 7 p.m. to find homeless people in Woodstock.

No one was found after checking the Square and the train station.

This was Tenore’s third year participating in the count.

The volunteers are part of a widespread effort to measure the scale of homelessness in the U.S. The numbers are required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and are used to help allocate money. not going to be done.”

In January, people living on the streets are hard to find, as most are in the shelters, Tenore said.

The women carried surveys to give to any homeless person they found, which asked questions including their age, race, gender, who they’re living with, where they slept last night, how

long they’ve been homeless for and if they abuse drugs or alcohol.

This was the first year surveyors could use a mobile application to collect data, which was created by Alex Campbell of EMK Consulting LLC in Crystal Lake, Tenuto said.

After searching in Woodstock and Crystal Lake until nearly 11 p.m., Ten-

ore said they gave a survey to one homeless man who was out on the street.

It will take a few days to organize the data for this year’s survey, Brumfield Grima said. For her, it’s important that the homeless are accounted for and recognized in the community.

“There’s a certain amount of dignity and respect for recognizing what the people in our community are experiencing, and assessing that and then doing what we can to address those needs and challenges that people are experiencing,” Brumfield Grima said.

Tenuto said aside from collecting numbers, volunteers also are well positioned to tell the homeless what services are available for them.

Once a homeless person gets back on their feet, Tenuto said they’re eager to give back to the community.

“Those are the things that really make me smile – to see a person when they get stable with their housing and focused on their life,” Tenuto said.

“They are part of the community, and they really do give back to the community.”

For third consecutive year, Barrington Hills reduces property tax levy NORTHWEST HERALD BARRINGTON HILLS – For the third year in a row, the Barrington Hills Board of Trustees voted to lower the property tax levy.

The reduction could result in savings to homeowners for the village’s portion of property taxes, according to a news release from the village.

Administrative and departmental restructuring and the consolidation of emergency dispatch services are part of what allowed the requested levy to decrease, according to the news release.

The village requested a $5.3 million levy, compared to the $6.1 million re-

ceived in 2016, the release said.

The village is operating with a $7.5 million budget, down from the $7.9 million budget last year, and the $8.4 million budget from 2013, according to the release.

Through that time, the village has been able to increase cash reserves and paved more streets than in the past decade, according to the release.

Village President Martin McLaughlin said in the release that he and the board would like to see other taxing bodies – such as the counties, townships, fire districts, school districts and the state – follow the Barrington Hills Board of Trustees’ lead and recognize the need for property tax relief.

Police continue to search Joliet home for remains

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET TOWNSHIP – Police continued Thursday to look for the remains of a Rolling Meadows man who disappeared 41 years ago.

Yellow police tape limited access to the house at 1113 Barber Lane for a second day, and one investigator emerged from behind the house in overalls covered in mud up to his chest – indicating substantial digging.

The missing man was the college roommate of Russel Smrekar, a Joliet man who confessed to the killing while he was dying in prison while serving a sentence for two other murders.

Smrekar, however, did not tell police where the body of his old roommate, Michael Mansfield, was.

Detectives are examining the home for the possibility that evidence or the remains of Mansfield may be located there, according to a Rolling Meadows Police Department news release.

Rolling Meadows police are working with assistance from the Cook County Major Case Assistance Team and the Will County Sheriff’s Office.

Rolling Meadows police have not returned multiple calls seeking comment.

The news release stated that more

Law enforcement and crime scene investigators search Wednesday for the remains of a Rolling Meadows man at a residence along Barber Lane in Joliet.

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

details regarding the investigation would be released at a later date.

Smrekar confessed in 2011 that he had killed Mansfield.

Smrekar was serving a sentence of 200 to 600 years at the time for the murders of two people, who, like Mansfield, were going to testify against him.

Mansfield was on break from Lincoln College when he disappeared from his Rolling Meadows home Dec. 31, 1975, and he was never seen again.

Six days later he was set to testify against Smrekar, who was accused of stealing a guitar and some records from a dorm room.

The property at Barber Lane has a separate garage behind the house. A wooded lot and a small creek are next door.

Will County Coroner Patrick O’Neil said Thursday afternoon that his office had not been notified of any remains found at the location.

DeKalb County residents voice objections to testing towers to measure wind power

By DREW ZIMMERMAN

dzimmerman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Steve Miller remembers how as a boy his family used to come to DeKalb County multiple times a year to view the pristine farmland in the area.

The threat of these farms being compromised by the development of wind turbines was one of the reasons that Miller, who lives in South Grove Township outside Kirkland, decided to speak out against the construction of two wind testing towers in DeKalb County during a public hearing Thursday.

“I see this as a door opening up to bring in something that’s going to drive tourism away from this area, and it’s inevitably going to do the same for all those people with the lifelong dream of living here,” Miller said.

San Diego-based EDF Renewable Energy has applied for a special-use permit to construct the 200-foot towers to measure the velocity and direction of wind in two fields in the northwest part of the county, to see whether it is economically feasible to construct turbines in the area.

P.J. Saliterman, EDF’s development director, said it can take at least 12 months for initial results, but if it was found that it would be profitable to construct wind towers, the testing poles would stay up for another 18 months after building began.

As part of the application process, the hearing was held in the DeKalb County Administration Building in Sycamore, where opponents of the towers overflowed the conference room.

Teresa Phillips, who lives the near sites where the towers are proposed, said that county officials should deny the permits before the talks on wind testing snowball into the construction of hundreds of wind turbines.

HIBERNATE IN JANUARY?

LEAVE THAT TO THE BEARS!

Matthew Apgar – mapgar@shawmedia.com

Teresa Phillips of South Grove asks for a show of hands from people who object to a proposal to build two meteorological evaluation towers in South Grove Township during a public meeting Thursday at the DeKalb County Administrative Building in Sycamore.

“I don’t see why we should put a test tower up if, in the end, it’s going to affect so many of my neighbors and myself,” Phillips said. “I wouldn’t want a wind turbine in my front yard, back yard or sidewalk, so why even test if we don’t even want this in our neighborhood? I believe this would cause terrible value to my property.”

Saliterman said the Federal Aviation Administration has ruled that the towers would pose no hazard to aircraft. In addition, they would create no light, toxic runoff or noticeable noise

and would not create any lasting nuisance to the community because the closest structures are hundreds of feet away from the towers.

As these temporary testing towers could be in place for years, DeKalb County Planning, Zoning and Building Director Derek Hiland asked hearing officer Dale Clark, who presided over the meeting, to consider a reasonable date for removal of the towers.

Sandra Feldt of DeKalb said that the planning department should develop a master plan on wind energy to assess

the commercial impact on the community.

“It seems to me we’re standing on the edge of a transition from an agribusiness county to an energy business county, and I think it would behoove the planning commission to see what kind of effect wind energy would have on the county as a whole,” Feldt said.

The Planning and Zoning Committee is expected to meet Feb. 22 to discuss the project, with the County Board making a final decision on granting the permits at a later date.

FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS

By KRISTIN M. HALL The Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Drummer Butch Trucks, one of the founding members of the Southern rock legend The Allman Brothers Band, has died.

He was 69.

Page Stallings, Trucks’ booking agent, said Trucks died Tuesday at his home in West Palm Beach, Florida. Stallings didn’t know the cause of death.

Trucks was one of two original drummers, along with Jai Johanny “Jaimoe” Johanson, who helped formed the rhythms and the drive for The Allman Brothers. Formed in 1969 and led by Duane and Gregg Allman, the group helped define the Southern rock sound that incorporated blues, rock, country and jazz.

Originally from Jacksonville, Trucks joined with the Allman siblings to form the band, including guitarist Dickey Betts and bassist Berry Oakley. They moved to Macon, Georgia, to cut their first record with Capricorn Records.

In a statement released Wednesday, Gregg Allman mourned the loss of his longtime friend and partner.

“I’m heartbroken. I’ve lost another brother, and it hurts beyond words. Butch and I knew each other since we were teenagers, and we were bandmates for over 45 years. He was a great man and a great drum-

mer, and I’m going to miss him forever. Rest In Peace Brother Butch,” Allman said.

The two drummers melded their individual styles, with Trucks considered to be the straightforward, driving train rhythm player, while Johanson added his R&B and jazz drumming influences.

The band’s 1971 live album, “At Fillmore East,” became their seminal breakthrough album, featuring a fusion of jazz, blues and rock. It featured songs such as “You Don’t Love Me” and a 22-minute-long version of “Whipping Post.”

But Duane Allman died shortly after that record in 1971 and Oakley died in 1972. The band continued to record and tour before breaking up in the late ’70s. Over the past three decades, they have reformed several times with additional band members.

In 1995, The Allman Brothers Band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Trucks also helped encourage a family lineage of musicians. One nephew, Derek Trucks, is the frontman of the Tedeschi Trucks Band and also joined The Allman Brothers Band in 1999 as a guitarist. Another nephew, Duane Trucks, is the drummer for Widespread Panic.

Trucks was most recently touring with his band, Butch Trucks and the Freight Train. He is survived by his wife and four children.

STATE

With eye on ’18, Rauner says ‘Don’t blame me’

sue, he was quick to point the finger at his predecessors for creating a mess that includes $130 billion in unfunded pension liabilities and the worst credit rating of any state.

“These problems aren’t new,” Rauner said. “They’ve been building up for many years as past governors and General Assemblies – from both political parties – kicked the can down the road

to avoid making tough decisions.”

Democrats pounced. One possible 2018 challenger, U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos, called him an “epic failure,” while the head of the Illinois Federation of Teachers wondered where Rauner, who owns nine homes, has spent the past two years.

“It’s like he’s not living in Illinois,” Dan Montgomery said.

The Democratic Governors Association, which considers Illinois a top-tier race, suggested Rauner’s State of the State could have been summed up in four words: “Getting worse every day.”

And state Sen. Kwame Raoul, who isn’t ruling out a bid, scoffed at Rauner’s attempts to shift blame to others. He noted Illinois was paying its bills within 30 days before Rauner took office; as of this week the state’s backlog of overdue bills is almost $11 billion and some vendors are waiting months to get paid.

“The only variable that’s changed ... is the fact that we have a different governor and that’s Bruce Rauner,” Raoul said. “He wears the shirt for that.”

Rauner deposited $50 million of his own money into his campaign fund last month. Republicans said the money was intended to send a message to potential challengers – including deep-pocketed businessmen J.B. Pritzker and Chris Kennedy – that taking him on would not be easy.

Rauner, a first-time politician, defeated Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn in 2014 by promising to bring big changes to a state Capitol where several previous governors had gone to prison and decades of bad budgeting had led Illinois to have the worst-funded public pensions of any state.

SPRINGFIELD – With crises mounting around him, Gov. Bruce Rauner’s strategy for fending off potential Democratic challengers and keeping his job in 2018 includes stressing the bright spots while blaming others for the things going horribly wrong.

As a Republican in a solidly Democratic state, the wealthy former private equity investor would have been one of the country’s most endangered GOP incumbents even under the best of circumstances. Adding to his task are a state budget impasse that has dragged on for most of his two years in office, decimating many social service agencies and creating billions more in debt, and a labor dispute that has Illinois’ largest public-employee union holding its first strike-authorization vote.

Rauner didn’t make more than a fleeting reference to the budget until the end of his annual State of the State address Wednesday. Instead, he highlighted accomplishments such as ethics reforms, increased funding for schools and improved cybersecurity of state records and said he was “deeply optimistic” about Illinois’ future.

When he made it to the budget is-

News from across the state Deer harvest down to 144K during recent seasons

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois hunters harvested about 11,000 fewer deer during the recent hunting seasons compared with past seasons.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources numbers show hunters harvested a preliminary total of 144,150 deer during the 2016-2017 seasons, including archery, youth, firearm, muzzleloader and other seasons. That number was 155,229 during the 20152016 seasons. Increases were seen in the youth and muzzleloader-only deer seasons. And although the archery and traditional firearm seasons had the most deer taken, the numbers were below last year’s harvests.

Man convicted of killing wife with baseball bat

ROCKFORD – Jurors have convicted a northern Illinois man of killing his wife with a baseball bat in 2012 and dumping her body in the Rock River.

Todd Smith was found guilty of murder Wednesday in a Rockford courtroom.

He is to be sentenced March 22, when he faces a term of life in prison. Katrina Smith’s mother, Vikki Nalevac told the Rockford Register Star that her relatives “finally have justice. We can breathe now.”

Prosecutors said Katrina Smith wanted out of her marriage to Todd Smith, but he wouldn’t let her go and even tracked her with a device under her car.

Smith’s public defender said the case was filled with sloppy police work and described Todd Smith as a loving husband trying to preserve his relationship with his wife.

Business owner sentenced in Medicaid fraud scheme

SPRINGFIELD – Federal prosecutors said an Illinois man has been sentenced to five years in prison for fraudulently overbilling Medicaid an estimated $4.7 million for the medical transport of patients, including some who had died.

Sixty-eight-year-old Gregory D. Toran of Hazel Crest also was ordered to pay $4.7 million in restitution.

The judge who sentenced Toran on Monday allowed him to remain free on bond until the federal Bureau of Prisons directs him to self-report to begin his sentence.

Toran owned IBT Transportation, a nonemergency medical transport company, with 44-year-old Tina Kimbrough of Berwyn.

In August, Kimbrough was sentenced to 30 months in prison for her role in the scheme. Kimbrough previously pleaded guilty to participating in the conspiracy with Toran.

Kimbrough was ordered to pay $4 million restitution.

Family mourns student pulled from school pool

CHICAGO – Family members said a 14-year-old Chicago boy who died after being pulled from a high school swimming pool loved school and had hopes of one day becoming a train conductor.

Delta Juarez, who identified herself as Rosario Gomez’s aunt, told the Chicago Tribune that the boy was “a really wellloved child.”

The Chicago Fire Department said the boy was pulled from the pool Wednesday at Kennedy High School before firefighters arrived.

He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police are investigating the circumstances of the boy’s death.

His family said Rosario, who was autistic, was a special needs student at the school.

The Chicago Public Schools said crisis interveners headed for the school to counsel students. The Chicago SunTimes reports an autopsy is planned Thursday.

Trump proposes tax on Mexican imports

By JULIE PACE and MARK STEVENSON The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Determined to wall off America’s border with Mexico, President Donald Trump triggered a diplomatic clash and a fresh fight over trade Thursday as the White House proposed a 20 percent tax on imports from the key U.S. ally, and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto abruptly scrapped next week’s trip to Washington.

The swift fallout signaled a remarkable souring of relations between Washington and one of its most important international partners just days into the new administration. The U.S. and Mexico conduct some $1.6 billion a day in cross-border trade, and cooperate on everything from migration to anti-drug enforcement to major environmental issues.

At the heart of the dispute is Trump’s insistence that Mexico will pay for construction of the massive wall he has promised along the southern U.S. border. Trump on Wednesday formally ordered construction of the wall.

The plan was a centerpiece of Trump’s election campaign, although he never specified how Mexico would fund the project or how he would compel payments if Pena Nieto’s government refused.

The two leaders had been scheduled to discuss the matter at the White House next week. But Pena Nieto took to Twitter on Thursday to say he had informed the White House he would not be coming.

In a speech in Philadelphia later Thursday, Trump cast the cancellation as a mutual decision. He said that “unless Mexico is going to treat the United States fairly, with respect, such a meeting would be fruitless, and I want to go a different route. We have no choice.”

On the flight back to Wash-

“By doing that, we can do $10 billion a year and easily pay for the wall just through that mechanism alone,” Spicer said. “This is something that we’ve been in close contact with both houses in moving forward and creating a plan.”

Spicer said Trump was looking at taxing imports on all countries the U.S. has trade deficits with, but he added, “Right now we are focused on Mexico.”

But the announcement sparked immediate confusion across Washington, and the White House tried to backtrack. During a hastily arranged briefing in the West Wing, chief of staff Reince Priebus said a 20 percent import tax was one idea in “a buffet of options” to pay for the border wall.

A 20 percent tariff would represent a huge tax increase on imports to the U.S., raising the likelihood of costs being passed on to consumers. Half of all non-agricultural goods enter the U.S. duty free, ac-

cording to the office of the U.S. Trade Representative. The other half face import tariffs averaging 2 percent.

Mexico is one of America’s biggest trade partners, and the U.S. is the No. 1 buyer from that country, accounting for about 80 percent of Mexican exports. A complete rupture in ties could be damaging to the U.S. economy and disastrous for Mexico’s. And major harm to Mexico’s economy would surely spur more people to risk deportation, jail or even death to somehow cross the border to the U.S. – undercutting Trump’s major goal of stopping illegal immigration.

House GOP lawmakers and aides interpreted Spicer’s comments on a 20 percent border tax as an endorsement of a key plank of their own tax plan, which Speaker Paul Ryan has been working to sell to the president. The House GOP “border adjustability” approach would tax imports and exempt exports as a way of trying to help U.S. exporters and raise revenue.

Earlier this month, Trump called that concept confusing.

And during the White House’s cleanup efforts Thursday, Spicer wouldn’t say whether Trump agreed with the border adjustment tax being considered by the House GOP.

Trump wall doesn’t address crossings shift

By ELLIOT SPAGAT The Associated Press

SAN DIEGO – President Donald Trump’s plan to erect a wall along the Mexican border overlooks a key change in how people enter the U.S. illegally: Many of them make no attempt to jump a fence or evade authorities; they simply turn themselves in and ask for asylum.

Asylum requests have surged in recent years, especially since 2014, when families and unaccompanied children fleeing drug violence in Central America overwhelmed agents in Texas.

Those who express fear of returning home are often freed into the U.S. with a notice to appear before an immigration judge. It often takes years for the clogged courts to decide asylum cases.

“Migration is very, very different now,” Gil Kerlikowske, commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection from 2014 until last week, said Thursday. “People are coming up to our ports of entry, walking up and asking for some type of protection.”

CBP does not release numbers on how many migrants turn themselves in versus how many are caught trying to avoid capture, but a pronounced shift is underway.

Longtime Border Patrol agents said their jobs are increasingly about changing children’s diapers in holding facilities rather than chasing people through mountains and deserts.

Mark Morgan, who resigned under pressure Thursday as the Border Patrol chief only seven months after his appointment, told a Senate panel last

“I just got from one sector where agents, one of their jobs during the day is to actually make sure that the food, the burritos that were provided, are being warmed properly,” Morgan said. “It

takes a tremendous amount of resources to do this.”

The 2,000-mile border has about 700 miles of fence, much of it built in California and Arizona during the second term of President George W. Bush, when crossers were predominantly Mexican men.

But that, too, has changed. In 2014, the number of Central Americans stopped by the Border Patrol surpassed the number of Mexicans for the first time. Many of them were women and children who turned themselves in.

Also, a Pew Research Center study in 2015 found that more Mexicans were leaving the U.S. than entering, a dramatic reversal.

Border Patrol arrests – a key measure of illegal crossings – rose 23 percent to 415,815 during the 12-month period that ended Sept. 30, up from a 44-year-low in the previous year. Still, it was the fifth-lowest tally since 1972 and was down 75 percent from a peak of nearly 1.7 million in 2000. Border arrests include some migrants who turn themselves in and ask for asylum.

A consultant’s report last year for the Homeland Security Department said asylum-seekers peaked in 2014 at 170,000, nearly triple the previous year’s 63,000. Before 2012, there were fewer than 30,000 a year. Last year’s caseload for asylum officers who do the initial screenings was more than 16 times what it was in 2009.

Many asylum-seekers turn themselves in to inspectors at land crossings or to Border Patrol agents almost immediately after setting foot in the U.S. Trump has also pledged to stop “asylum fraud” and end what he and other critics of President Barack Obama’s border enforcement efforts call “catch and release,” or the practice of freeing people with a notice to appear in court.

He hasn’t provided details on how he plans to do that.

Scientists take first steps to growing human organs in pigs

By MALCOLM RITTER The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Scientists have grown human cells inside pig embryos, a very early step toward the goal of growing livers and other human organs in animals to transplant into people.

The cells made up just a tiny part of each embryo, and the embryos were grown for only a few weeks, researchers reported Thursday.

Such human-animal research has raised ethical concerns. The U.S. government suspended taxpayer funding of experiments in 2015. The new work, done in California and Spain, was paid for by private foundations.

Any growing of human organs in pigs is “far away,” said Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte of the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, an author of the paper in the journal Cell.

He said the new research is “just a very early step toward the goal.”

Even before that is achieved, he said, putting human cells in animals could pay off for studies of how genetic diseases develop and for screening potential drugs.

Animals with cells from different species are called chimeras. Such mixing has been done before with mice and rats. Larger animals such as pigs would be needed to make human-sized organs.

That could help ease the shortage of human donors for transplants.

The Salk team is working on making humanized pancreases, hearts and livers in pigs. The animals would grow those organs in place of their own, and they’d be euthanized before the organ is removed.

Most of the organ cells would be human. By injecting pig embryos with stem cells from the person who will get

the transplant, the problem of rejection should be minimized, said another Salk researcher, Jun Wu. Daniel Garry of the University of Minnesota, who is working on chimeras but didn’t participate in the new work, called the Cell paper “an exciting initial step for this entire field.”

Here’s what the new paper reports: Scientists used human stem cells, which are capable of producing a wide variety of specialized cells. They injected pig embryos made in the lab with three to 10 of those cells apiece, and implanted the embryos into sows. At three to four weeks of development, 186 embryos were removed and examined.

Less than 1 in every 100,000 embryonic cells was human, which still comes to about a million human cells, Wu said.

That contribution is lower than expected, he said, “but we were very happy to see we actually can see the human cells

after four weeks of development.”

The cells generated the precursors of muscle, heart, pancreas, liver and spinal cord tissue in the embryos. The researchers said they plan to test ways to focus human cells on making specific tissues while avoiding any contribution to the brain, sperm or eggs.

That addresses ethical concerns that the approach could accidentally lead to pigs that gain some human qualities in their brains, or make human egg or sperm. There was no sign of that in the new research. The government, meanwhile, has signaled that it may lift the federal funding ban soon but impose extra oversight of any proposed work.

A pig might not always have to be brought to term, Belmonte and Wu said.

Even a pig fetus might provide human pancreatic cells to treat diabetes, or kidney cells to repair injuries to that organ, they said.

WASHINGTON – The fast-food empire run by President Donald Trump’s pick for Labor secretary outsourced its technology department to the Philippines, a move that runs counter to Trump’s mantra to keep jobs in the U.S. A filing with the Department of Labor and Trump’s criticism of outsourcing could be raised at Andrew Puzder’s confirmation hearing, with Democrats questioning how well he can advocate for workers.

Puzder’s company, CKE Restaurants Inc., notified the government in August 2010 that it was outsourcing its restaurant information technology division to the Philippines. Doing so, the agency found, “contributed importantly” to the layoffs of both CKE employees and those of an outside staffing firm at an Anaheim, California, facility. The agency’s finding made workers eligible for federally funded benefits meant to dampen the impact of globalization on employees.

“By outsourcing the function to a firm that employs hundreds of Help Desk specialists, CKE was able to improve the quality of service levels to

vides a window into a key contradiction raised by Trump’s nomination of Puzder to head the Cabinet agency charged with enforcing worker rights.

“President Trump has said that he will put American workers first, but it increasingly appears this was just empty campaign rhetoric – and we saw this so clearly in who he nominated to lead the Department of Labor,” said Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, the senior Democrat on the committee that will consider Puzder’s nomination. “This filing showing jobs being outsourced overseas is yet another troubling example of workers being squeezed by companies under Andrew Puzder’s leadership.”

During his first week in the White House, Trump warned that he would impose a “substantial border tax” on companies that move their manufacturing out of the U.S. He also promised tax advantages to companies that produce products domestically.

“All you have to do is stay,” he said during a meeting in the White House’s Roosevelt Room. Trump’s companies have regularly outsourced supply purchases and sometimes used guest workers.

ANOTHER VIEW

Reviving the pipelines President Donald Trump is making short work of campaign promises, and Tuesday he signed executive orders reviving the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines. The resurrection is good news for the economy, but one question is whether he’ll sink the projects with his protectionist impulses.

Trump signed an executive order inviting TransCanada to apply again for a permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, which the Obama administration rejected to indulge the anti-carbon obsessions of Democratic campaign donors. Another Trump directive aims to expedite the Dakota Access pipeline, which is 90 percent finished but was halted by President Barack Obama amid protests. A federal judge ruled that the government had met its legal obligations, but the Obama administration suspended work anyway.

Such carve outs for progressive constituencies are one reason voters rejected Democrats in November, and the pipelines promise broader prosperity. Keystone is predicted to spin off 20,000 construction and manufacturing jobs and add $3 billion to GDP. The pipeline could move 830,000 barrels a day along the route from Alberta to Nebraska; up to 100,000 would come from North Dakota, where a glut of crude has to travel by rail to reach refineries built to process it. The efficiencies will ripple across the oil and gas industry.

The Keystone order directs the State Department to make a recommendation within 60 days for a prompt approval, although environmental groups will file lawsuits in every eligible jurisdiction.

The objections are specious: Obama’s State Department concluded on several occasions that Keystone would have no meaningful effect on climate or emissions. Moving oil by pipeline emits less carbon and is safer than trains.

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said Trump is looking to ensure taxpayers the best possible deal. Reminder: Taxpayers pay nothing. The State Department estimated that when Keystone is finished and pumping oil, local governments will collect more than $55 million a year in property taxes. About 70 percent of the resulting refined products from Keystone would stay in the U.S., which will push down gas prices as another benefit, according to a study from IHS. Meanwhile on the livefeed for “The Resistance,” Senate Democrats are proposing a trillion dollars in direct federal spending on public works – and no doubt hoping to persuade Trump to go along and divide the GOP. But Republicans in Congress should not agree to a dollar of new such spending without more streamlining of permitting.

Private investment projects such as Keystone and Dakota Access are the superior route to creating jobs and boosting incomes, which Trump has long said is his first priority.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Keystone XL still worth building Keystone XL is back – along with the usual misconceptions about its virtues and dangers.

There should be no doubt, however, that President Donald Trump’s executive order advancing the project is a good thing.

The reason is simple: By carrying heavy crude from the oil sands of Alberta, Canada, to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast and beyond, Keystone XL would strengthen U.S. energy security.

Keystone would not, as Trump suggests, create a lot of work for Americans. It will take maybe 10,000 people to build the pipeline, and those jobs will be temporary. Only a few dozen will be needed once it is operational.

At the same time, many environmentalists’ warnings about Keystone are exaggerated. Pipelines are a safe, reliable and efficient way to carry oil.

Given that Keystone would be built to the latest safety requirements, it would be less spill-prone than the tens

of thousands of miles of older pipelines that crisscross the U.S. Keystone opponents also make more universal objections. Crude extracted from oil sands generates more than its share of greenhouse gases, because more energy is needed to remove the sand and dilute it for transport. Technology is already limiting this problem, however. Moreover, oil-sands emissions can be offset with reductions in other parts of the economy, a likely scenario now that Canada has agreed to reduce carbon emissions as part of the Paris agreement.

Finally, many environmentalists argue that pipelines such as Keystone only encourage the further extraction and use of fossil fuels, which contribute to global warming. Regardless of whether this will prove to be true, the reality is that there aren’t enough sources of clean energy to meet the world’s needs. And to protect against price shocks, it is preferable for the U.S. to get its oil from do-

mestic sources or from friendly neighbors such as Canada.

With or without Keystone, crude will continue to be extracted from the Alberta oil sands. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau approved two new pipelines designed to carry that oil through Canada to world markets.

Trump’s executive order does not amount to approval for Keystone – the company behind the project will have to submit another application – and there is always a danger, Trump being Trump, that he will make unreasonable demands. On Tuesday, he suggested that he wants the pipeline to use only American steel, and in the past he has vowed to demand a share of the pipeline’s profits.

This would be unwise. Better not to jeopardize a decision that can be justified as a matter of both energy and economic policy and see to it that the pipeline, now almost a decade on the drawing board, is finally built.

Limited powers

To the Editor: During inauguration ceremonies eight years ago, reporters described how our system of government is exceptional because power is handed over peacefully to a new administration, regardless of a contentious election. I wish the same could be said about McHenry County government.

This letter is to remind readers, the County Board, Chairman Jack Franks, County Administration, and the State’s Attorney’s Office that in 2012, voters rejected the County Executive form of government by almost a two-to-one margin. Voters did not, and do not want, the County Board chairman to have any type of power resembling a county executive, including the additional costs of executive branch employees, separate legal counsel, executive assistants or communications specialists.

Franks’ actions continually overstep the intended power of the office, while

‘Hidden Figures’

To the Editor: Some in our country still believe black people are inferior to white people.

“Hidden Figures” shows the tragic hypocrisy of white supremacy. The theme is about three very strong, courageous black women: a mathematical genius; a mechanical genius who masters the IBM machine that IBM specialists cannot; and the first black woman to attend an “all-white male” engineering program in the segregated state of Virginia.

The mathematical genius clearly brings success to our beginning space program.

Each one of these women entered an area that was dominated and controlled by “white males only,” because they had the genius and courage to do so. This is an epic story, one that ought to change many attitudes towards our fellow black Americans.

Someday ladies, there will be a Ms. President, white or black or another minority, and not a bully hoodlum.

Deserve better

To the Editor: My wife and I are recent transplants to this community from Michigan. As vice president of a community college, I was actively involved with the public officials both elected and appointed in my old community.

I have just listened to a tape of the Jan. 17 McHenry County Board meeting.

I was appalled at the maneuvering and political positioning of the board in an effort to discredit Chairman Jack Franks as they babbled about their inability to use a public, electronic voting system that the county has been working on for the past two years. The notion was that the training for the system was too difficult for the board members to use, that is a disgrace.

As elected officials, they have the responsibility to be prepared to participate in the meetings, even if it requires the development of new skills to do the work of the community.

They knew this was coming for the past two years. If you can’t get up to speed with a two-year warning, you shouldn’t be on the board. The voting system would have brought the meetings into ADA compliance. There are fines that can be levied against organizations that don’t meet ADA guidelines.

I understand all but one of the board members are Republicans and conservatives. True conservatives don’t waste public monies installing a system and refusing to use. It is a real waste of money, especially if it makes the county vulnerable to penalties from lack of ADA compliance. We deserve better from our elected officials.

When will Americans think again?

To the Editor: Make America great again? When?

Back to racial segregation? Back to before women could vote or had rights?

How about back to slavery, our great shame? Maybe after the Revolutionary war when only rich, white landowners could vote, not even the men who fought in the war? Or perhaps back to our treatment of the Indians? So I guess it was great when the Indians owned their country, and in that case the rest of us need to leave.

How about being the only industrial country without national health care, so our citizens can die or go bankrupt if they can’t afford the care they need?

I was, still am, a Bernie Sanders supporter. Who wanted a better and fairer country for all its people finally, not just the wealthy.

So I just have to ask, when will Americans think again?

He helped mitigate flooding concerns. Over the years, I have been most impressed at the professionalism of his workers and their attention to doing a first-rate job.

In an age where so many complain about government, Bob gets the job done with a personal touch. He provides recycling, quality mulch, donates time and equipment to veterans groups and Boy Scouts. Bob works with other groups to share equipment that saves tax dollars. He is true public servant.

A few weeks ago, I saw that he was chosen as president of all township supervisors in Illinois. This is a testament to the quality leadership he provides.

Why would we want to risk losing that?

circumventing protocols and violating fundamental management controls.

The chairman’s hiring of two employees with the help of Administrator Peter Austin could subject taxpayers to costly discrimination lawsuits.

The erosion of hiring and appointing processes will corrupt McHenry County, its employees and elected officials.

Residents gave the County Board direction with their vote on the 2012 County Executive referendum. We do not want the chairman to have executive powers or cost taxpayers additional money.

County board members must take back the power of the board. Follow board rules. Advise the State’s Attorney Office that legal opinions are not to be given to the chairman. Instruct the administration to follow procedure and protocol.

The chairman should have very limited power because the voters want it that way.

Caterpillar trims 2017 outlook

Peoria company posts 4Q loss The ASSOCIATED PRESS

PEORIA – Caterpillar’s fourth-quarter loss widened, dragged down by three hefty charges and higher-than-expected restructuring costs.

Its adjusted profit beat Wall Street’s expectations, but its revenue missed expectations. The construction and mining company also slightly lowered its 2017 revenue forecast.

Shares fell before the market open Thursday.

For the three months ending Dec. 31, Caterpillar Inc. lost $1.17 billion, or $2 per share. That compares with a loss of $94 million, or 16 cents per share, a year earlier.

Stripping out the charges and restructuring costs, earnings were 83 cents per share. Still, that easily beat the 65 cents per share that analysts polled by Zacks Investment Research expected.

Revenue declined to $9.57 billion from $11.03 billion, missing the $9.75 billion in revenue that Wall Street expected.

Caterpillar CEO Jim Umpleby said in a written statement that the company’s quarterly performance “continued to reflect pressure in many of our end markets from weak economic

conditions around much of the world.”

For the year, the Peoria-based company reported an adjusted profit of $3.42 per share on revenue of $38.54 billion.

Looking ahead, Caterpillar said that it now anticipates 2017 revenue in a range of $36 billion to $39 billion,

with a midpoint of $37.5 billion. It previously thought that revenue of about $38 billion was a reasonable midpoint expectation.

Caterpillar said that it had to slightly lower its expectations because of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar over the past two months.

The company predicts a 2017 adjusted profit of approximately $2.90 per share at the midpoint.

Analysts polled by FactSet expect 2017 earnings of $3.06 per share on revenue of $37.56 billion.

Caterpillar’s stock dropped $1.04 to $97.11 in premarket trading.

WORTH TALKIN’ ABOUT FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 2017

NEW YORK – Francis Ford Coppola wants to make an “Apocalypse Now” video game, and he’s hoping fans will help pay for it.

The director has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise $900,000 for what he said will be an “immersive, psychedelic horror role-playing game” based on his classic 1979 Vietnam War film.

In a message on the crowd-funding site, Coppola said he wanted to experiment with a new platform and bring “Apocalypse Now” to a new generation.

Coppola said video game publishers wouldn’t provide him the artistic freedom he’s seeking. He said the game will put you in the middle of the war, but the object is not to be killed rather than to kill.

Shia LaBeouf arrested on camera during live stream

The rusting remnants of an old Russian submarine, used as a set for a Harrison Ford movie and as a floating museum until sinking during a 2007 nor’easter, sits Aug. 22, rusting in a scrapyard in the Providence River in Providence, R.I.

Court: ‘K-19: The Widowmaker’ sub must be removed from river PROVIDENCE, R.I. – A Rhode Island court has ordered a scrapyard to remove the remnants of a Russian submarine once used as a set for a Harrison Ford movie from the Providence River.

The hull of the submarine, known as Juliett 484, rests mere feet from the shore in Providence.

After the Cold War, the sub was sold and used as a restaurant and vodka bar in Helsinki, Finland, and as a set for the 2002 Ford movie “K-19: The Widowmaker.” Then it became a floating museum. It sank during a nor’easter in 2007 and was sold for scrap.

State environmental officials sued to get it and several other vessels removed. A Superior Court judge ordered Rhode Island Recycled Metals LLC in December to begin removing vessels from the river, adjacent to its scrapyard.

The permitting process is underway. The company was supposed to apply for permits by Jan. 15 for removing the first vessel.

Those permits haven’t been issued yet, said Richard Land, who was appointed by the court to oversee the cleanup.

Land said the deadline turned out to be far too aggressive, but the parties are making good-faith efforts. An amended court order submitted Thursday extends the deadline by two months.

The 282-foot-long sub and a U.S. aircraft carrier, the USS Saratoga, shadowed each other during the Cold War. The sub wound up in Providence because the Rhode Island-based USS Saratoga Museum Foundation bought it and opened it to the public as a floating museum in 2002.

Nursing with ease

What a pumping room at work should look like

By JULIA BECK

B

Special to The Washington Post

reast-feeding is a very personal choice.

However, the realities of breast-feeding and, later, returning to work as a pumping mother present a new set of very real challenges for a woman.

Workplaces that support a mother in her return to work by bringing her back with ease always win. Committed employers not only are supporting infant health, they also are establishing a powerful statement of collaboration, underscoring how much they value their employee.

Although the repeal of the Affordable Care Act might mean organizations no longer legally have to provide the space or time for women to pump at work, many companies know providing this is not only kind, but also simply a smart business move.

Birch Box, for example, offers hospital-grade pumps, snacks and a comprehensive booking system for its growing population of mothers in the workplace.

Lauren Pfeiffer was out for 12 weeks after the birth of her second daughter. When she returned to New Jersey-based Association Headquarters, she was greeted with a brand new private “mother’s room” that held comfortable seating, a sink, refrigerator, a mirror and even a shared calendar for booking the space. The space made her return to work much more seamless, and the fact her company set it up made her feel supported and grateful. The room was set up for quiet, but also allowed for Pfeiffer to catch up on emails as she pumped breast milk for 20 minutes two to three times a day.

It is this piece of the puzzle that is my focus at the It’s Working Project. Not only do we gather and share stories of how parents in the U.S. transition back to work, the project also partners with workplaces to help them establish easy-to-execute programs to support working families.

As was the case with Association Headquarters, not only was the pumping room a wise thing for her company to do, but it’s also the law.

Washington D.C. recently has passed legislation and joined 18 states to pass enhanced pregnancy and nursing protections that offer strong protections (and also serious penalties for offenders) for a wide range of workers and situations.

Many of these state statutes, including D.C.’s law, also clarify and strengthen the rights of nursing mothers.

“Unfortunately, there is still a tremendous

A look at a Department of Labor “nursing office.” amount of confusion about the rights of pregnant workers,” said Dina Baskt, co-president of A Better Balance, an organization that works with lawmakers to enact legislation to help pregnant and nursing workers.

“Thankfully, a growing number of states and localities, including D.C., have stepped in to guarantee pregnant workers a clear, statutory right to reasonable accommodations – the same standard in place for workers with disabilities.

Many of these statutes also clarify and strengthen the rights of nursing mothers. Ensuring that pregnant workers and new mothers can avoid the impossible choice between a paycheck and a healthy pregnancy is undoubtedly a win-win for women, families and our economy,” she said in testimony.

But smart businesses are many steps beyond just compliant.

“We know it can be a challenging for parents to transition back to work and want to do everything we can to make the transition as smooth as possible,” said Annie Lavigne, human resources director at Edelman Inc. This is “one of the reasons why we are committed to providing a pumping space for nursing mothers that is private, clean and comfortable.

The happier our employees are, the more likely they are to stay.

We can’t achieve our business objectives without retaining our talent, and our employees’ ability to manage family and work effectively is a key part of that equation.”

So how do you get what you need at work?

“Employees should emphasize the bottom-line

benefits to employers of providing first-in-class benefits to nursing mothers,” Baskt advises.

“These programs increase retention and productivity, while also demonstrating the company’s commitment to working families.”

It takes very little for an organization to move from simply compliant to best is class. And the effort results in a high level of return in the form of retention and continued commitment.

What does a pumping room look like anyway?

First, and most critical – it does not look like a bathroom stall. Not only is this not legal, it is disgusting.

So, what does “compliance” mean: • Private – not a bathroom • Clean – sanitary space • Close to workspace – not in a separate building or floors away • Reasonable break times – enough to pump and get milk stored and pump parts cleaned And what about best in class: • Locking door – both sides • Comfortable seating • Clear surfaces • Ottoman • Outlets for pumps • Sink for cleaning pump parts • Refrigerator for keeping milk – separate from general staff fridge • A place where mothers can display images of baby • Mirror • Personal storage space • Snacks and water • Sign-up system

The school determined our son didn’t have any issues that hindered his academic performance. So we moved on.

By second grade, he’d had countless unofficial parent-teacher conferences to discuss his behavior and academics, so we had him evaluated, both by the school and independently. We finally had some answers. He was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety disorder and possibly autism. By third grade, we had changed schools, towns and teachers, meaning our son went through more transitions.

His diagnosis moved with him. Those labels would be his – and ours – forever.

His diagnosis has been our introduction to each of his teachers since kindergarten, with “something is different about him” to fourth grade, with “We know socially he needs a little extra help while academically, he seems to ‘get it.’ ” By fifth grade, at least academically, he’d exceeded even his own expectations.

His fifth-grade teacher, whom he also had for fourth grade, said she’d chosen him to be in her class. She wanted him in her class not because she thought she could better support him, but because she genuinely enjoyed him and looked forward to see more of his growth.

To my surprise, the arguing and the battles we face at home during every transition (morning routine, night

routine, change of weekend plans) are not an issue at school, in her class or any other. He loves school and he pushes himself there. We launched a system in first grade in which we rewarded him each day for a good day in school, for kind acts wherever he went, for helping with chores, for listening to instructions.

He gained a stone for each of these things and collected them in a jar that, at the end of the month, he cashed in for a toy or book or candy. We modified the reward system to cater to his growing maturity and combined it with medication and the necessary evaluations.

We were exhausted and no day was easy, but we have succeeded as parents.

And when the hard days come again, when he gets frustrated because he cannot get his way, when he has a run-in with his neighborhood friends, or when homework arguments come up, we will think back to this parent-teacher conference. We will remember we also must be proud of ourselves. At a certain point, and probably sooner rather than later, he will be the best he can be and he will value what he can give to the world.

That’s our reward.

When parent-teacher conferences rolled around for our 10-year-old son this year, I felt nervous. Not because I was scared of what his teacher would say. Not because we hadn’t yet had his 504 meeting (to talk about school accommodations for his special needs), or because he was having issues with his art teacher.

This year, the parent-teacher conferences were more about me than him.

More about how his success or failure would reflect upon us, as his parents. It was about the work my wife and I had been putting in to make him a better brother and son; a more caring, proactive participant in our household; and a better student, friend and citizen at school. The parent-teacher conferences were our report card.

His fifth-grade year marked a turning point, a milestone of sorts in our journey as his parents. It was the result of six years of hard work on our part, as well as his. His report card came home in late October, and before it did, the parent-teacher conferences had been scheduled. When I arrived home from work and saw the envelope lying on our dining room table, I felt a pit in my stom-

ach. I was worried as I slowly pulled out the report card. My mouth dropped open, and I let out a proud-mommy squeal.

“Jonathan,” I screamed. I ran up to his room, jumped on his Lego-covered bed and said, “I am so proud of you!”

Our child had A’s, a few A-pluses and one B-plus. This report card I held in my hand was proof of his hard work, but also of our efforts. Some of his A’s were our A’s, too. He actually had been listening to us during those homework arguments.

The reading we made him do over the weekends also had paid off, as he was above grade-level in that area.

We now knew, based on his report card, this parent-teacher conference would go well. And in fact, it was the best conference we’ve had in his short academic career. There was a time, however, when we had found ourselves feeling the opposite of ecstatic. When he had been in kindergarten for two months, long before conferences were scheduled, his very experienced, very traditional teacher called us. She wanted to tell us that socially, she thought he was behind his peers. And he was struggling with showing age-appropriate self-control and listening skills. I was in denial, and shrugged it off as the teacher being too old-school. My wife, though, pushed for a psychological and academic evaluation.

34 Study links alcohol to melanoma risk Dear Doctor: I always choose white wine over red. But a recent study linking white wine to increased melanoma risk made me reconsider. Am I overreacting?

Dear Reader: This is a difficult question without a simple answer – so let’s start with some basics. Alcohol metabolizes into the chemical acetaldehyde, which can cause DNA mutations that lead to cancer.

To date, alcohol has been associated with an increased risk of cancers of the breast, colon, liver and pancreas.

A 2014 analysis of many different studies published in the British Journal of Dermatology found an 18 percent increase in melanoma among people who drank more than one alcoholic beverage a day, regardless of the type. This analysis was based on retrospective studies, which are studies assessing people’s past habits after a diagnosis has been made.

Prospective studies follow patients before the diagnosis of disease. The research to which you’re referring was that type of study, and was published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention. For their analysis, researchers looked at data on disease outcomes from three studies of health care professionals and tied those outcomes to potential risk factors. The three studies combined followed a total of more than 210,000 people over a period of more than 18 years. In the studies, participants were asked to state their level of alcohol consumption and also to state what type of alcohol they consumed.

Researchers found overall, 1,374 people (less than 1 percent) ultimately were diagnosed with melanoma. Those who drank alcohol, however, had a 14 percent increase in the rate of melanoma, and that number increased to 21 percent in those who had one or more drink a day. Note that people

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley who drank more alcohol also reported higher rates of smoking, caffeine intake and previous severe sunburns. The authors adjusted for this, so the data still appears relevant.

So yes, alcohol appears to slightly increase the risk of melanoma.

As for wine, some types – especially white wines – have more acetaldehyde and thus could have a greater ability to increase cancer risk than other types of alcohol. But when the authors looked at the type of alcohol consumed, the results between the three studies varied tremendously.

In one study, of male health care professionals, the researchers found a greater rate of melanoma among men who drank white wine one to three times a month compared to those who drank white wine two to four times a week. Even taking that finding into account, the authors overall found a 13 percent increased rate of melanoma with each drink of white wine a day. They did not find such a high rate with other types of drinks.

In summary, drinking alcohol does appear to slightly increase the risk of melanoma. While this study on the impact of white wine does not appear convincing, white wine drinkers should consider the fact acetaldehyde is carcinogenic and white wine has more acetaldehyde.

What your mother is proposing is the definition of helicopter parenting. If your boyfriend were to find out, it would be the end of your romance. Perhaps you should ask your mother how she would feel if your fiancé’s family hired a detective to shake your family tree. I’ll bet she wouldn’t like it one bit.

Dear Abby: I would like to see how other wives would handle this. I have a “friend” who constantly calls my husband her “boyfriend.” She’s married, and I’m sure this irks her spouse, too. Every time they come over, she has to give my husband a really big hug (she has a large chest).

I feel what she’s doing is inappropriate, and I want to know what you recommend to put a stop to this. It has reached the point I wish they would quit coming here. My husband and I both are polite people, but I would like for this to cease. – Polite Pat In The South Dear Polite Pat: I’m a wife, and here’s how I’d handle it. I would have your husband tell your friend privately her effusiveness is embarrassing and to please stop doing it. If he doesn’t feel comfortable doing this, talk to the woman yourself and tell her when she calls your husband her boyfriend, it offends you, and her husband should be her boyfriend.

Dear Abby: My mom told me when I get engaged, she is going to hire a PI to investigate my fiancé. I know parents can be concerned, but this seems to me like total paranoia.

She told me a story she saw in the news about a seemingly normal man who ended up killing people to steal their money to pay for his wedding. That’s scary, but I don’t think it warrants hiring a PI to follow my future fiancé around. I think my mom is going beyond being overprotective. What do you think? –

N I G H

Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY work in customer service and Jeanne was helping a Phillips guest. During my eight- to 10-minute chat with her, she showed me her phone. The wallpaper on her phone was a picture of the guest and her boyfriend in Times Square. Without mentioning it to the guest, I recognized her boyfriend as the husband of a friend of mine I’ll call Julie.

Julie and her husband have two young children. Part of me wants to confront him, but part of me says this would destroy a family. I have resolved to remain quiet unless I hear of marital difficulties, but would that be a disservice to my friend and her children? I feel like I’m carrying a grenade that may devastate many innocents. – Wants To Confront

Mattress and Box Spring, King Size Christopher Hitchens, an English author who lived the last 30 years of his life in the United States, said, “Beautiful sentences pop into my head. Beautiful sentences that aren’t always absolutely accurate. Then, I have to choose between the beautiful sentence and being absolutely accurate. It can be a difficult choice.”

At the bridge table, you try to find the accurate line of play or defense. If it is also beautiful, that’s an added bonus, giving you a story for dinner companions and grandchildren. You are teaching your grandchildren to play bridge, aren’t you?

South is in seven spades. What should he do after West leads a low heart?

Yes, this is the same deal as yesterday’s. Then, though, North bid more circumspectly by using a second dose of Blackwood to learn that two kings were missing; he stopped in six spades. Now, though, he just plunged into the grand slam. Let’s charitably assume that it was the last board of a total-point match in which NorthSouth had to make a grand slam to win.

South has 11 top tricks: six spades, one heart, three diamonds and one club. He has finesses available in each rounded suit that could generate an extra winner or two.

The declarer should realize that even if the heart finesse wins, he will also need the club finesse to work.

But if the club king is well placed, it gives South three tricks in that suit and 13 in all.

South should win with the heart ace, draw trumps and run the club jack. Assuming it wins, declarer plays a club to dummy’s queen, discards his last heart on the club ace and claims.

WOODSTOCK – Woodstock’s dominant stretch of offense in the second quarter and the final moments against Woodstock North showed how much progress the Blue Streaks have made since the start of the season.

Woodstock conceded a 3-pointer – and the lead – in the final seconds of the first quarter and responded with 23 points on 8-of-12 shooting over the next eight minutes.

When the Thunder stuck close in the fourth, it was a freshman, Emma Brand, who stepped up for Woodstock and made two key baskets to push the Streaks’ lead from five points to nine with 2:20 remaining. And, finally, it was junior point guard Autumn Overly who helped calm any nerves of a comeback by hitting 7 of 8 free throws in the fourth.

In the end, Woodstock emerged with a 61-55 Kishwaukee River Conference victory against crosstown rival Woodstock North, avenging an early season loss to split the season series.

“That game was extremely fun because it was a game where we started down and we had to fight back,” Woodstock coach Jen-Nichols Hogle said.

“It was one of those games where the girls could have easily put their heads down, but both teams fought until the end. It was impressive on both sides.”

Overly led the Blue Streaks (9-15 overall, 6-4 KRC) with 20 points and seven rebounds, Gabriella Scolio had 13 points and four assists and Diana Spokas had 12 points and three blocks.

Brand, a 6-foot freshman forward, also finished in double digits with 11 points and six rebounds.

“We’ve been playing really hard in practice, and we’ve been trying to really build our offense,” said Brand, who fouled out with 32 seconds to go. “We were kind of more focused on playing hard on each possession. Instead of focusing on points, we each wanted to do our best.”

In their loss to the Thunder on Dec. 13, the Streaks scored only 31 points.

They had that many points in the first two quarters, taking a 34-24 into the break.

“We talked about getting this win ... and possibly getting second in conference is a really big goal of ours,” Scolio

Spokas gave the Streaks their biggest lead, 42-24, with 4:10 left in the third quarter off an assist from Scolio.

North (12-13, 6-4 KRC) chipped away and cut the deficit to 47-39 by the end of the third.

The Thunder got to within five points, 53-48, on two free throws by Madison Butler with 3:04 left, but Brand responded with two quick buckets. North later cut it to 59-55 with 32 seconds left, but Overly hit two free throws and Spokas blocked the final two shots.

North got into foul trouble when point guard Taylor Prerost picked up her second foul early in the second quarter, and Woodstock went on a 10-2 run as a result. Early in the third, Maddie Busch (14 points, four 3s) picked up her fourth foul and had to sit until the fourth.

“We were two possessions away,” North coach Mike Lewis said. “It’s all mental and execution. Their athletic ability is fine. They don’t need to be more athletic to win the game. We just need more focus and execution. It’s two possessions.”

Butler had 12 points and seven rebounds for the Thunder, and Lulu Nicks had nine points on three 3s. Paiton Lawrence added seven points in the loss.

They stretched it to 32-12 by halftime, holding Burlington Central to only five field goals in the first half.

“I thought our defense was outstanding, I was really proud of that,” Frey said. “That gave us a lot of momentum on offense.”

Interrante finished with 18 points, including three 3s, to lead the Skyhawks, while Megan Madsen added 10 points and Ava Interrante had six.

“I knew they were playing a faceguard on me, so just having the ball in my hands and trying to create options, and then kicking it out and other people make shots,” Aannah Interrante said. “Once we started making shots, we got momentum going, and then just kind of pulled away.”

The Rockets closed the game on a 12-0 run against Johnsburg’s second unit, and outscored Johnsburg, 17-8, in the fourth quarter, but the hosts already had done enough to ensure they got to celebrate – although they kept it relatively low-key – after the final horn.

“We knew they were going to bring some ball pressure,” said Hurricanes point guard Jack Moscinski, who scored 11 points. “We just tried to focus and get the ball to our bigs, especially Sam (Ohlrich), who was having a big game.”

Ohlrich, a 6-foot-8 senior forward, tossed in a game-high 15 points and was a likely source. Schneider, who scored six of his seven points in the fourth quarter, was less likely. He hit a big 3-pointer early in the fourth and later scored on a driving layup.

“I have to give it to my teammates, they got me the ball a little bit, and I happened to be wide open and kind of took advantage,” said Schneider, who hit his second free throw for a 50-47 lead with 27 seconds remaining.

Moscinski flipped a pass to Ohlrich for a 6-foot left-handed shot with 1:29 to go, then made two free throws with 1:04.

“The big thing is we’re getting Ohlrich involved on the block more than we were earlier (in the season),” Sarther said. “That’s paid some really nice dividends, and it’s opened up some

things for Moscinski to be more of a slasher type of player.”

The teams traded turnovers after Schneider’s last free throw, giving the Corsairs possession with 13 seconds remaining. The Hurricanes had five team fouls, so Schneider fouled after the inbound pass to eat up a few seconds. Carmel called timeout with 9.1 seconds to go.

Sarther talked about fouling in the final seconds as long as Carmel wasn’t shooting. The Hurricanes defended well enough that Julien had to rush his last shot.

“It didn’t go in,” Sarther said.

“That’s all that really matters at the end of the day.”

Ohlrich added 12 rebounds and blocked three shots. Julien led Carmel with 13 points, Zion Kilpatrick added 11 and Johnny Roeser scored 10.

“Brian (Julien) picked it up in the second half, that’s why we wanted to get him the last shot,” Corsairs coach Zach Ryan said. “We drew it up right, he just missed it. We didn’t come with a lot of energy tonight, and they took advantage of it. That’s something we’ve been doing, we’ve been playing well.”

Prairie Ridge received news that was somewhat expected, yet still tough to take Thursday when forward Kyle Loeding learned his high school basketball career is over.

Loeding, a 6-foot-3 forward who led the Wolves in scoring, rebounding, blocked shots and steals, suffered a right knee injury early in Monday’s Fox Valley Conference victory Kyle Loeding over Huntley.

Loeding saw an orthopedic surgeon Wednesday for an MRI and learned Thursday he has a torn ACL and partially torn MCL. He will have surgery after swelling has subsided.

Prairie Ridge (14-5 overall, 8-0 FVC) leads the league by one game over Jacobs at the midway point of the conference race.

“This is devastating to everyone,” said Michelle Loeding, Kyle’s mother and a physical education teacher at Prairie Ridge. “Words can’t describe it. It makes a person appreciate each day even more.

It’s important to stay positive right now for Kyle.”

Wolves coach Corky Card knows Loeding’s absence will affect the team.

“There’s not a better kid to have around for the younger kids,” Card said. “As fabric of teams go, he has a great demeanor. He adds a tone of levity to practices. Moving forward without him, we’re not going to be the same team.”

Loeding averaged 14.5 points and 5.0 rebounds a game for the Wolves, who have won 14 of their past 16 games.

“As a basketball player, he could do everything – shoot, drive, get lots of steals,” Card said. “We’ll do what we do, play well and hope that we have a chance to win at the end. We’ll have the same goals in mind.”

Even in Boston when we had the best record in the league, if we lost a game, you could hear a pin drop on the bus.

“They showed us the seriousness of the game. My vets didn’t have an influence on the coaching staff. They

couldn’t change the plan because it didn’t work for them. I played under one of the greatest coaches, and he held everyone accountable.

“It takes 1-15 to win. When you isolate everyone, you can’t win consistently. I may be a lot of things, but I’m not a bad teammate. My goal is to pass what I learned along. The young guys work. They show up. They don’t deserve blame. If anything is questionable, it’s the leadership.”

Although Rondo didn’t name Wade and Butler, it was a clear assassination of both.

BEARS AT THE SENIOR BOWL

Scouts, coaches getting thorough reports

Bears brass getting to see more than prospects on film

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com MOBILE, Ala. – The head start that general manager Ryan Pace and coach John Fox are getting on knowing some of the top prospects for the 2017 NFL Draft is not lost on the Bears brass.

“We knew this would be a benefit coming down here. But being here fullfledged has been huge,” Pace said. “Being in the meetings, not just with our coaches but all our scouts have been in the meetings too, has been really good. Our coaches have done a good job

kind of creating an environment where with the players, we’re getting them to talk more. So we’re really getting a good feel for their football intelligence.

That’s been good.”

In those meeting rooms, it’s not simply how well the players absorb the information they’re learning from Bears coaches. While other teams are limited to interviews with players, the Bears can put a prospect on the spot and Ryan Pace see how he responds.

“Instead of our coaches standing in front of the room and talking the whole time, it’s hearing the players talk more and kind of going over things,” Pace said. “You can feel their football intelligence the more they talk. That’s been the best part. We’ve got different scouts in each position room. So that’s been good.”

This is the first time Fox has coached the Senior Bowl, and he reiterated the importance of seeing the players in a practice setting.

“A bunch of it is just how they interact with their teammates, the emotion they practice with, some of the things you maybe don’t see on game tape when you’re studying college players,” Fox said. “It’s how they learn, how coachable they are. Are they not making the same mistakes over. We’ve actually gotten to do three different film sessions as far as evaluating a practice.”

When the position coaches go through their drills with the prospects they can look for certain things that will tell them and the scouts something about that player’s skill set, adding another line to a scouting report.

“There’s ways to isolate these guys into athletic movements that we

want to see,” Pace said. “We were just talking about that with the corners.

There’s things that you can do that can kind of expose them, whether it’s their hip stiffness or their plant-and-drive quickness. Those guys will do things to kind of exploit that, good or bad.”

When Pace isn’t in meetings or watching practice, he’s watching tape on veteran free agents, preparing to add talent to the Bears in early March.

The grind is the norm for the former scout, and Pace lives for the actual football that takes place in Mobile.

“This is one of my favorite parts right here, because it’s real football,” he said. “It’s not just combine work.

It’s not guys in shorts. It’s real football.

We get to see their instincts and their toughness and their physicality and how fast they’re picking up our offense or defense. So this is probably my favorite part.”

Rajon Rondo always makes sure he gets the last word.

Always.

And now it could be his last word in a Bulls uniform, according to one source.

As of Thursday evening, the Bulls front office was so angered by an Instagram post by Rondo in which he retaliated on teammates Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade that they seriously were weighing the idea of removing Rondo from the team and buying out the remainder of his contract.

One day after Butler and Wade blasted their teammates after a loss to the Atlanta Hawks, even questioning their heart and understanding of their roles, Rondo took to his Instagram account and had a drop the mic moment directed at both players.

First, Rondo posted a picture of himself from his Celtics days, along with former teammates Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, and then wrote: “My vets would never go to the media. They would come to the team. My vets didn’t pick and

Here’s why: “My vets would never go to the media.” Well, obviously both Butler and Wade did that.

“My vets didn’t pick and choose when they wanted to bring it. They brought it every time they stepped in the gym whether it was practice or a game. They didn’t take days off.” Wade basically stopped practicing with the team in December, and has taken a handful of games off, mostly on back-tobacks, so this was a clear shot at Wade.

“My vets didn’t have an influence on the coaching staff. They couldn’t change the plan because it didn’t work for them.” For the second season, Fred Hoiberg has had to restructure his offense on the fly because both Butler and Wade didn’t feel it worked.

“I played under one of the greatest coaches, and he held everyone accountable.” Rondo played under Doc Rivers, and has been butting heads with Hoiberg since the coach benched him. However, a source said Rondo has grown tired of what he feels has been preferential treatment with Butler and Wade compared to everyone else.

If the Bulls flat-out rid themselves of Rondo, they would have to eat the remainder of his $14 million contract this season, as well as $3 million of the $13.3 million he could have made next season.

Rondo already was suspended for one game this season after throwing a towel in the face of assistant coach Jim Boylen.

8 BLACKHAWKS

All-Stars ready for fun, but miss rest

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com There has been a lot of talk this season about how the Blackhawks have benefited from their first long summer since the 2012 lockout, but you can forgive Jonathan Toews if he’s not exactly feeling super spry these days.

Thanks to the World Cup of Hockey, Toews has been on the ice since August, and although he missed 10 games with a back injury this season, only three teams in the NHL have played more games this season than the Hawks. It’s been a breakneck pace all season – a game pretty much every other day – thanks to the World Cup and the new five-day bye weeks.

Three days off right about now would come in handy. Instead, Toews, Patrick Kane, Duncan Keith and Corey Crawford will fly to Los Angeles on Friday morning for three days of events, interviews and public relations work

– oh, and Saturday’s skills competition and Sunday’s 3-on-3 tournament.

It’s a blessing to be an All-Star. It also is kind of a burden.

“It’s always an honor; everyone wants to represent their team, they want to be one of those guys,” Toews said. “But there’s no doubt, especially with the amount of hockey we’ve been playing, that it’s nice to get a break just like everyone else in the Jonathan league. You use that Toews break down the road, just to keep the body fresh, keep your mind fresh, and be able to stay on top of your game. It’s a huge thing. … It’s not necessarily the (All-Star) game so much that I think guys mind; there’s a lot of extracurricular stuff. Guys are pretty much busy all day for three days, (and) that kind of wears you down a little bit.”

The Hawks’ bye week – which con-

veniently comes right after six straight road games out of the All-Star break – should help offset things. The All-Star break usually sees players scatter to the winds for a weekend somewhere warm. But this year, most of the Hawks are sticking around Chicago and saving their vacation for the bye week.

But for those not going to Los Angeles, it still will be a welcome few days off the ice. Having the bye week so soon after the All-Star break could prove particularly beneficial for the handful of Hawks rookies who are dealing with the full-season NHL grind for the first time. A little time off might help them hop that rookie wall.

“It’s a pretty condensed schedule this year – there’s a lot of games in a short period of time,” Ryan Hartman said.

“These couple days are going to be nice – almost like a reset button for the body, to let some bumps and bruises heal.”

As for the Hawks’ four all-stars, they’ll have their hands full all week-

end. Toews, Kane and possibly Keith (along with a number of retired Hawks legends) are expected to be part of the Friday night event unveiling the league’s top 100 players of all time.

Then Saturday is a day full of media and the skills competition, and Sunday is the games themselves before they fly off to San Jose for Tuesday’s first game out of the break.

No rest for the weary. But, hey, at least it’ll be 70 degrees and sunny outside while the league puts them through their paces.

“It’s always fun to mix with the players,” Toews said. “There are guys around the league that you have met or you know in one way or another. I think this weekend in LA, there’s going to be a lot of hype, a lot of excitement around it, especially with the 100 players that’ll be named, and some of the celebrity hockey fans that are going to partake in some of the events, too. So it’ll be a lot of fun.”

JETS 5, BLACKHAWKS 3

Hawks go into All-Star break with another loss

By MARK LAZERUS

JETS 5, BLACKHAWKS 3

mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – The last game before the All-Star break is notorious for teams mailing it in on their way to a desperately needed weekend off. But while the Blackhawks were looking forward to a little rest, the Winnipeg Jets had their full attention Thursday night.

Losing three games by a combined score of 9-2 will have that effect.

“We don’t want to get ahead of ourselves here,” coach Joel Quenneville said before the Hawks lost, 5-3, at the United Center. “Guys are going to LA, and guys are getting a break here. But at the same time, we know that these guys have our number, and we have to do something about it.”

The Hawks had more offense and more fight than in the previous three meetings, but lost again after the Jets scored twice in 33 seconds late in the third period. It was eerily reminiscent of Tuesday’s loss to Tampa Bay, when Tyler Johnson had two goals in 30 seconds in the third. After going 83 games without losing in regulation

The start of the game fit the theme of the season between these two teams, as Winnipeg took a 2-0 lead on a power-play goal by rookie sensation Patrik Laine and a tally by Shawn Matthias 42 seconds later. It was the second straight period in which the Hawks gave up two goals in less than a minute.

But the Hawks recovered, and started getting in the face of Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck for the first time all season. Duncan Keith scored five seconds into a power play at 13:07 of the first. Up until that point, Hellebuyck had stopped 99 of 101 shots against the Hawks this season.

Nick Schmaltz tied it four minutes into the second period, taking advantage of Jets defenseman Mark Stuart’s odd

Jets improved to 4-0-0 against the Hawks this season.

Hot hand: Scott Darling got the start ahead of Corey Crawford on Thursday not because Quenneville wanted Crawford to get some extra rest ahead of All-Star weekend, but simply because Darling has been better of late. Crawford was excellent for the first two periods Tuesday against Tampa Bay, but allowed three goals in the third period of a 5-2 loss.

Crawford is 6-5-1 with a pedestrian .903 save percentage since returning from an appendectomy that cost him three weeks. Darling entered Thursday’s game 8-4-1 with a .936 save percentage since Crawford’s surgery, including a 30save shutout in Boston in his last start.

But there’s no goalie controversy. It’s Crawford’s net.

“I thought he probably had five good periods in a row, [but] the last period, a couple got by him,” Quenneville said.

“But other than that, I thought he was moving, he was sharp he looked quick, he was anticipating well. [Darling]’s last performance is probably the biggest reason.”

PGA TOUR: FARMERS INSURANCE OPEN

Finishes 11 shots off lead in 1st PGA event in 17 months

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

Tiger Woods watches his tee shot on the second hole of the South Course during the first round of the Farmers Insurance Open on Thursday in San Diego.

South at 66.

It was a rude welcome back to the PGA Tour, and to Torrey Pines, where Woods has won eight times as a pro.

He had not played on the PGA Tour since Aug. 23, 2015, when he tied for 10th in the Wyndham Championship. Two back surgeries followed, and Woods missed all of 2016 until returning at an unofficial event with an 18-man field and no cut in the Bahamas the first week in December.

This was different in so many ways.

Along with fighting his swing – he didn’t hit a fairway after No. 7 – and coping with thick rough he had not seen since the 2015 PGA Championship,

Woods said he had a hard time adjusting to the pace of play from being in threesomes.

“It’s just weird to say this, but it was just we were playing so much slower than I’m used to,” he said. “It was just weird waiting that much.”

His game was greater concern than having to wait.

This was a battle from the start, when his opening tee shot went into the right rough and he hit a big cut closer to the gallery than the green. Woods did well to keep his score from getting out of hand early, with four tough par saves on the front nine to limit the damage.

He started the back nine with 10-foot

CUBS

Cubs agree to $3.5 million, 1-year deal with Anderson The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – The World Series champion Cubs added pitching depth, finalizing a $3.5 million, one-year contract with left-hander Brett Anderson.

Anderson, who can make an additional $6.5 million in bonuses based on starts, figures to compete with Mike Montgomery for the fifth spot in the rotation behind Jon Lester, Kyle Hendricks, Jake Arrieta and John Lackey. Anderson has dealt with several injuries during eight big league seasons and was limited to three starts and one relief appearance with the Los Angeles Dodgers last year.

Anderson was sidelined until August because of surgery for a bulging disk in his back and developed a blister on his pitching hand that limited him to two games in September.

He was 10-9 with a 3.69 ERA in a career-high 31 starts in 2015 helping the Dodgers win the third of four straight NL West titles.

Anderson, who turns 29 on Wednesday, is 38-43 with a 3.86 ERA in 115 starts and 12 relief appearances with Oakland (2009-13), Colorado (2014) and AP file photo the Dodgers (2015-16).

His agreement was announced Dodgers starting pitcher Brett Anderson throws against the Rockies on Sept. 22 in Los Thursday.

Angeles. The Cubs have finalized a one-year contract with Anderson.

SAN DIEGO – The return of Tiger Woods felt more like a celebration Thursday at Torrey Pines.

Hundreds of fans lined up against the railing behind the 18th grandstand to watch Woods walk onto the first tee for his first PGA Tour event in 17 months.

Thousands more stood behind every inch of rope from tee to green, and they were six-deep in spots around the green.

As he made the turn, workers filled three balconies at the Scripps Clinic. No other player brings this much energy to a golf course.

Now he just has to bring his game.

Woods battled to save par, and then he fell apart during a six-hole stretch on the back nine and stumbled to a 4-overpar 76 in the Farmers Insurance Open.

It wasn’t his worst score on the fabled South Course at Torrey Pines, but it was his highest score of his career in the first round of a new year.

“I let it slip away in the middle part of the back nine,” Woods said. “And, unfortunately, didn’t hit very good shots.”

Woods wound up 11 shots behind Justin Rose, who opened with a 65 on the shorter North Course with the new and smooth greens. Adam Hadwin of Canada, who shot 59 last week in the California desert, had the low score on the

birdie putts on the 10th and 11th holes, and with two par 5s ahead of him, starting to believe this could be a strong start.

“And it went the other way,” Woods said. “I hit bad tee shots and made a bad three-putt and laid up from the rough into rough. I just kept compounding problems and mistakes out there.”

Starting with No. 12, he played the next six holes in 6 over, with a double bogey on the 15th hole the biggest blow.

Woods snap-hooked his tee shot over the crowd and into a deep ravine, letting the driver fall from his hands in disgust.

He couldn’t immediately find his ball amid sand dunes and ice plants, instead finding a spot to take his penalty drop.

He hooked a long iron through eucalyptus trees into more rough and couldn’t get it closer than 20 feet.

At least he ended with a birdie and a smile, which looked to be more of a relief – not only for Woods, but for Jason Day and Dustin Johnson.

The star group sure didn’t play like one, with all three players frustrated at times by the bumpy poa annua greens in the afternoon. Day, the No. 1 player in the world, missed five putts from the 4-foot range. He opened with a 73. Johnson made a 15-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 72.

None of them ever was better than 1 under at any point in the round.

“You’re concentrating extra hard out there because obviously this is a tough golf course, but you want to make sure that you’re playing well,” Day said. “Tiger’s back, the cameras are on you, so ...

I’m trying to do my best. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the way that everyone wanted to start, but I gave it 100 percent.”

12 MEN’S BASKETBALL: NORTHWESTERN 73, NEBRASKA 61

Pardon dominates for ’Cats

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press

EVANSTON – Dererk Pardon dominated on the glass in a way no Northwestern player had in more than five decades, so it was only natural fans would let him hear it.

They serenaded him with “MVP! MVP!” chants as he walked off the court.

Pardon dominated with 19 points and a career-high 22 rebounds to lead Northwestern to a 73-61 victory over struggling Nebraska on Thursday night.

“It just feels great,” he said. “You’re on a high. You’ve got to ride that.”

Pardon simply was on a different level. For that matter, so is Northwestern these days.

The program that hosted the first Final Four but has zero NCAA appearances is in unfamiliar territory, threatening to make the tournament at long last. The Wildcats (17-4, 6-2 Big Ten) have five straight wins, matching their longest streak in conference play since the 1965-66 season.

That same year, Jim Pitts had games of 26 and 22 rebounds against Indiana and Ohio State. No Wildcats player dominated on the glass like that until Pardon on Thursday.

The sophomore turned in the first 20-rebound game for Northwestern since Evan Eschmeyer grabbed 21 against Penn State on Jan. 20, 1999.

Vic Law scored 20 points, and the Wildcats went on a big run late in the game to seal the victory.

Tai Webster led Nebraska with 23 points. Glynn Watson Jr. scored 14, but the Cornhuskers (9-11, 3-5) dropped their fifth in a row after a 3-0 start in the Big Ten. “Every time we made a big run, we

The Wildcats won, 73-61, to improve to 17-4 overall and 6-2 in the Big Ten. gave up an offensive rebound or something little, and that affected us in the long run,” Watson said.

It didn’t help that leading rebounder Ed Morrow Jr. missed his fourth straight game with a right foot injury.

Pardon certainly took advantage.

Even so, it was 57-53 with about five minutes remaining. Law hit two free throws, and in a flash, Northwestern went on a 16-1 run to put this one away.

Bryant McIntosh stole a pass that hit Nebraska’s Evan Taylor and fed Law for an alley-oop. Cornhuskers coach Tim Miles picked up a technical after pointing to a spot where he thought Pardon stepped out of bounds after grabbing a defensive rebound. That led to two free throws for McIntosh, mak-

ing it 63-53 with 4:12 remaining.

Northwestern continued to pour it on with Sanjay Lumpkin nailing a 3 and Law getting fouled on a rebound dunk for a 3-point play with 1:17 left, making it 73-54. Pardon then exited to hugs from his teammates and “MVP! MVP!” chants.

But it was loud all night. And Miles acknowledged the noise made an impact.

“It’s amazing from earlier in my tenure to what it is now,” he said. “The student body is calling me all kinds of new names. It’s an excellent atmosphere. With the noise level, we’re going to have to look at some different signals and things like that. We don’t do that in other places. There are other bigger gyms with huge crowds that you don’t do that with. You do it here.”

Big Ten this week A look at things to watch this week in the Big Ten: Game of the weekend: Indiana at Northwestern on Sunday night. This is the first of two matchups between the Big Ten’s No. 1 offensive team and No. 2 defensive team. They meet again Feb. 25. The Hoosiers (14-7, 4-4), who were trounced by Michigan on Thursday night, are scoring 85 points a game and had won four of their past five to get back into the conference race. Northwestern (17-4, 6-2) has won five straight games and is playing like a team determined to break through with the program’s first NCAA tournament bid.

Looking ahead: No. 15 Wisconsin (17-3, 6-1) and No. 22 Maryland (18-2, 6-1) are tied for first place and don’t square off until Feb. 19. The Badgers have three games left against kenpom.com top-40 teams and five on the road. The Terrapins have five games left against top-40 teams and six on the road, including three of their next four.

Inside the numbers: Caleb Swanigan, Isaac Haas and Vincent Edwards have shot 111 of Purdue’s 143 free throws in Big Ten play. Swanigan leads the nation in both rebounding (12.7) and double-doubles (17). ... Northwestern, at 6-2, has its best Big Ten record since 1967-68. ... Iowa freshman Cordell Pemsl leads the Big Ten in field goal percentage, at 62.6 percent. A freshman has led the Big Ten in field goal percentage in each of the past two years (Indiana’s Thomas Bryant in 2015-16 and Ohio State’s Jae’Sean Tate in 2014-15).

Player to watch: Nebraska needs Tai Webster (18.1 ppg.) to bounce back in a hurry. The senior guard had a tough shooting day and dribbled the ball off his foot to set up Rutgers’ game-winning possession Saturday. The Cornhuskers (9-11, 3-5) took a four-game losing streak into their game at Northwestern, and No. 20 Purdue comes to Lincoln on Sunday.

MEN’S BASKETBALL: KANSAS

Coach says no discipline yet amid police rape probe

By JIM SUHR

The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Kansas coach Bill Self said Thursday that a police investigation of an alleged rape at his team’s dorm has given him no reason yet to discipline any players as the second-ranked Jayhawks prepare to play at No. 4 Kentucky.

Self acknowledged that the investigation of the alleged attack last month of a 16-year-old girl at McCarthy Hall has become a “major distraction” heading into Saturday’s game. No charges have been filed, and police have not

publicly identified any suspects or offered any time frame about how long the investigation might take.

Five of Self’s players are listed as witnesses on the police report, by Self’s definition meaning they could have information about “anything that happened before, during, after.” The girl is Bill Self not a student at Kansas and was visiting the dorm’s residents, police on the Lawrence campus have said.

Self refused to publicly reveal what any players have confided in him, but

he insisted “we’ve been given zero information that would warrant suspensions or anything like that” for now.

Discipline could come later if the police findings warrant such a step, he said.

“Regardless of what I’ve been told, it doesn’t matter. It’s what is found out to be the facts,” he said. “Hopefully, that’ll happen sooner rather than later.”

Self said he learned about the incident from the athletics department the day it was reported, Dec. 18, and he insisted without elaboration that “we met it head on.” When asked Thursday whether he discussed with KU officials about “getting in front of this” well

before the matter became public this week, Self said “there’s nobody withholding information at all.”

“I don’t know where you’re going, but I don’t like it,” Self told the reporter. “If you wanted to discuss how it’s being handled, go to the [police], OK. That’s not our responsibility to report everything that the [police] does. And it’s not their responsibility, I don’t think, to report it, because they have certain things that they have to do to certainly follow their protocol.

“So no, nobody is hiding behind this at all, and I kind of resent the fact that you would even hint at that,” Self said.
