County’s $250M plan rejects inflation increase By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – The McHenry County Board approved a smaller 2013 budget and froze its property tax levy. County Board members voted, 22-1, to approve a $250 million budget for the fiscal year starting Dec. 1. The county’s spending plan holds next year’s property-tax levy flat, rejecting a 3 percent increase for inflation that governments are entitled to under the tax cap. The county will collect $2.3 million less than last year in tax revenue by holding its levy flat. The levy freeze applies only to the portion of property-tax bills that
funds county government, not schools, municipalities, townships or other taxing bodies. County government, on average, accounts for 10 percent of a McHenry County homeowner’s propertytax bill, according to county staff. The county government budget is $6 million smaller than the current $256.7 million budget. McHenry County government, one of three Illinois counties with a Aaa bond rating from Moody’s Investors Service, has been trimming its budget in recent years to adjust for the weak economy. It has trimmed 64 staff positions over the past three years.

Ill. lawmakers face gambling, prisons By JOHN O’CONNOR Josh Peckler – jpeckler@shawmedia.com
Bears running back Michael Bush tries to break away from Minnesota defenders during the second quarter Sunday at Soldier Field. The Bears defeated the Vikings, 28-10.
Bears remain 1st in NFC North
Now, San Francisco is just a bad memory. The Bears helped erase the pain of a two-game losing streak Sunday afternoon by beating the NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings 28-10. Michael Bush ran for two touchdowns and the Bears forced Adrian Peterson into a pair of fumbles as they took a 22-point lead into half-
time and cruised from there. “[We had] a rough team coming in here playing well, but we took care of business,” linebacker Brian Urlacher said. The win kept the Bears (8-3) in first place in the NFC North heading into Sunday’s home game against the Seattle Seahawks (6-5).

SPRINGFIELD – Lawmakers will be staring down some of the higher-profile issues in Illinois when they begin their fall session Tuesday. But resolution of gambling, state facility closures, immigration and medical marijuana proposals could come in the form of dramatic confrontation, negotiatingtable settlements, anticlimactic if symbolic votes, or no decisions at all. Expanded gambling, shaping up a few weeks ago as a veto-override clash, could be sidestepped during the six-day session in favor of a hoped-for agreement with Gov. Pat Quinn in January. Lawmakers meeting during the next two weeks might vote against Quinn’s
efforts to close state facilities, likely with little practical effect. And the Democratic governor’s splashy call for an assault-weapons ban could disappear without fanfare. Although scheduled annually for lawmakers to decide the fate of gubernatorial vetoes, the fall session is not limited to that. An emerging bipartisan proposal to equip illegal immigrants with driver’s licenses will be considered, along with a plan to allow the medical use of marijuana, narrowly defeated in recent years. And the state comptroller warned last week that there isn’t enough money to cover operations for several agencies through the June 30 end of the fiscal year.
SATURDAY The village of Algonquin will host Holiday Rock on the Fox from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Saturday at Riverfront Park, 201 N. Harrison St., Algonquin. The event will feature the annual tree-lighting, a visit from Santa, a candy-cane hunt and more. For information, call 847-658-2700 or visit www.algonquin.org/recreation.

Bloody bear paw baffles central Ill. authorities
DECATUR – Authorities say a bloody severed body part found along a central Illinois bike trail belonged to a bear. A walker found the mangled paw on Thanksgiving morning along the bike trail in Decatur. That triggered an investigation by the Macon County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies closed part of the path Friday when it was determined the body part did not belong to a human. The Decatur Herald & Review reported authorities have turned the paw over to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources in hopes of discovering how it ended up along the bike path. There was no sign of the rest of the bear. Sheriff’s Sgt. Ron Atkins said there’s no reason to worry about bears in the area. Black bears have not lived in Illinois since the 1800s.
Shipment of Christmas trees dumped in garden
VIENNA – An early seasonal delivery went badly wrong in Austria when a truck was involved in a crash and dumped 14 tons of Christmas trees in a resident’s garden. Police in Vorarlberg state, at Austria’s western tip, said the accident happened Friday night as a truck with a trailer loaded with trees drove through the town of Hohenems. The trailer hit a wall, tipped over and landed in the garden of a house. A police statement Saturday said that the fire service dispatched 30 people to recover the hundreds of fir trees. A passenger in the truck was injured and taken to a local hospital.

Mark Hume at the Moose Lodge in McHenry. Hume is a mail carrier and is heavily involved in the McHenry Moose Lodge. He recently received recognition from the national organization for his work with the lodge.
8ON THE RECORD WITH ...
Mark Hume
Not many people know what the Moose is, Mark Hume said. The Johnsburg resident is a member of the McHenry Moose Lodge 691 and the recipient of its highest honor, the Pilgrim Degree of Merit. He joined the Moose and a number of other area organizations after he got out of the U.S. Army in 1994. He is also a mail carrier in Lake Forest. The Moose is an international organization that focuses on caring for children and seniors. It operates Mooseheart, a residential child care center and school in Batavia, and Moosehaven, a retirement community in Orange Park, Fla. Hume recently spoke to reporter Emily Coleman about his volunteer work and the Moose.
Coleman: What is it about the Moose that you like? Hume: I like the people be-
cause the people are wonderful people, and I also like what Mooseheart stands for. It’s for taking care of kids from lost and broken homes. You could say it’s like turning – what do they say? – tragedies into triumphs.
Coleman: Is there anything you think people should know about the Moose? Anything people usually get wrong? Hume: A lot of people don’t
know what the Moose is. It’s very funny. It’s kind of amusing. Some people think, ‘Well, is it a veterans organization?’ ... We do a lot of thing in the community. We’re kind of a secret. We shouldn’t be, but we are. It’s just a great organization. There’s the Elks and the Eagles, but this one, you can actually go down to Mooseheart and see where your money’s going. If you ever go down to the campus, you’ll go, ‘Wow.’ I tell anybody who ever joined, once you’ve been down there, you’ll never let your dues go again because you get to meet the kids, and if you get a chance, they’ll take you around, show you campus. Beautiful facility.
Coleman: Can you tell me about a time when you felt like you were really making a difference? Hume: I get an opportunity to bring kids up here for Thanksgiving, and they get to have a nice meal. They get to do karaoke and play games
and stuff like that.
Coleman: What’s your role? Hume: I’m the organizer.
We’ve got 50 sailors coming, and we’ve got 20 to 25 kids from Mooseheart with their house parents and that. We take them to the theater for a movie, get a group picture, and bring them back here for lunch, for turkey. We cook up about 250 pounds of turkey. We feed all the people that come in to help. We get about 150 people here total. It takes a lot of organizing. It really does. Sometimes I want to pull out all my hair because it gets down to the crunch. But once it’s all over and done with, you just got that good feeling that you’ve done something good for somebody.
Coleman: What do you enjoy about working with the kids? Hume: Just watching the
smiles on their faces. You don’t see them all the time, but you get a chance to see them year after year. When they get to do something, they’re just smiles from ear to ear. It just gives you that real good warm feeling.
Coleman: What did you do to get the Pilgrim Degree of Merit?

Bartlett of Ottawa, and Joe Hume and Spencer Fahlbeck of Clinton, Iowa – and eight grandchildren, from 2 to 21 years old. n Involvement: McHenry Moose Lodge, American Legion, Polish Legion of American Veterans, AmVets, and the Eagles. n Favorite Moose event: “Thanksgiving with the sailors and the kids from Mooseheart because it’s just amazing how people come together and make it good for some of these kids who are going overseas and are still in boot camp. Being a veteran, I’m kind of partial to that.” Hume: It’s something that you earn over years. You get it from doing community service, helping your lodge, helping in other organizations like the veteran organizations I belong to, running a lot of functions to help the lodge keep money and raise funds for Mooseheart. Coleman: What was your reaction when you got it? Hume: I was dumbfounded. I was just shocked. I was just in awe. [It’s] something you always try to get.
8STATE BRIEFS
Holiday travel appears smooth in Illinois
CHICAGO – Travelers heading home after Thanksgiving say it’s been smooth and hasslefree in the Chicago area with good weather for travel. The Greyhound station near downtown Chicago was packed Sunday. Leonard Reddick was waiting for his bus back to Flint, Mich. The 29-year-old said he liked the cheap fares at $84 roundtrip and traveled on Thanksgiving Day so that there’d be fewer crowds. Meanwhile Malron Murray arrived back in Chicago from Atlanta where he’d been visiting his daughter. He said the bus wasn’t too crowded. Both of Chicago’s airports reported normal operations Sunday with no delays at O’Hare or Midway international airports. Weather across Illinois was
favorable for travel with mostly clear skies and no forecasts of snow. Chicago was expected to reach a high of 45 degrees.
Chicago makes top 10 list for startup activity
CHICAGO – A new report says Chicago is one of the top places in the world for business startup activity. Crain’s Chicago Business reported the city is No. 10 on the recently released list of global entrepreneurial hotspots. The analysis was done by Startup Genome, a crowdsourced database that maps entrepreneurial communities. Topping the list is Silicon Valley, Calif., followed by Tel Aviv, Israel; Los Angeles; Seattle; New York and Boston. Chicago was ranked 15th in a report earlier this year. The city moved up thanks in part to the opening of a new startup incubator in the Introducing UNPLUGGED for Her. by Jon Bon Jovi

The Chicago Transit Authority’s Holiday Train features six cars pulling Santa and his helpers in their sleigh. Customers may ride inside the cars, which are decorated in multicolored lights, garland and bows and feature holiday music. Now in its 21st year, the Holiday Train travels along all CTA rail lines in November and December. Detailed timetables are posted online at transitchicago.

Officials: Keep an eye on elderly during holidays
CHICAGO – State officials say this is a good time of year to keep a close eye on older family members who may need assistance. November is National Family Caregivers Month. Illinois Department on Aging Director John Holton said it’s also the kickoff to the holiday season and a good time for families to use the time they spend together to look for signs that older relatives may need more help. Those signs include decreased mobility, change in appetite, unfilled medical prescriptions and not paying bills. The department is reminding people that there are more than 100 resources centers statewide for caregivers.

CHICAGO – Democratic leaders in Cook County hope to rally around a singular candidate to replace former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., because the slate for the primary election is expected to be large. Jackson, a Chicago Democrat, resigned last week after nearly 17 years in office. He cited his health and acknowledged that he’s under a federal investigation and cooperating with authorities. The opening is rare in the mostly urban district that covers neighborhoods on Chicago’s South Side, south suburbs and some rural areas. Severalcandidatesalready have expressed interest, including former U.S. Rep. Debbie Halvorson – whom Jackson beat in a primary this year – state Sen. Donne Trotter and defense attorney Sam Adam Jr., who once represented imprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich. “You’ve got so many candidates who say they’re going to be running, it could be a free-for-all,” Cook County Assessor Joseph Berrios, chairman of the county’s Democratic Party told the Chicago Tribune. “We want to make sure we elect some-
one who works hard to represent everyone in Chicago, everyone in Cook County and everyone in the 2nd Congressional District.” Berrios said he’s been in touch with local Democrats – including committeemen – to prepare for an endorsement session. Supporting one candidate, he said, would help ensure a win and help with fundraising. Gov. Pat Quinn has until today to set dates for the special election, and has said he plans to set primary and general election dates. Jackson, 47, easily won re-election to a ninth full term earlier this month. But he has been out of the public eye since June, when he went on a hushed medical leave. The former congressman was treated at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., for bipolar disorder and other medical issues. In his resignation letter, he said his deteriorating health had made it difficult to do his job. He also revealed publicly for the first time that he is under federal investigation, reportedly for misusing campaign finance funds. He hasn’t been charged with a crime. Jackson also had been under a House Ethics Committee investigation for links to Blagojevich.

The next Congress could make deals harder, parties polarized By ALAN FRAM The Associated Press
WASHINGTON – When the next Congress cranks up in January, there will be more women, many new faces and 11 fewer tea party-backed House Republicans from the class of 2010 who sought a second term. Overriding those changes, though, is a thinning of pragmatic, centrist veterans in both parties. Among those leaving are some of the Senate’s most pragmatic lawmakers, nearly half the House’s centrist Blue Dog Democrats and several moderate House Republicans. That could leave the parties more polarized even as President Barack Obama and congressional leaders talk up the cooperation needed to tackle complex, vexing prob-
lems such as curbing deficits, revamping tax laws and culling savings from Medicare and other costly programs. “This movement away from the center, at a time when issues have to be resolved from the middle, makes it much more difficult to find solutions to major problems,” said William Hoagland, senior vice president of the Bipartisan Policy Center, a private group advocating compromise. In the Senate, moderate Scott Brown, R-Mass., lost to Democrat Elizabeth Warren, who will be one of the more liberal members. Another GOP moderate, Richard Lugar of Indiana, fell in the primary election. Two others, Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas and Olympia Snowe of Maine, are retiring. Moderate Democratic sena-
tors such as Kent Conrad of North Dakota, Herb Kohl of Wisconsin, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Jim Webb of Virginia are leaving, as is Democraticleaning Independent Joe Lieberman. While about half of the incoming 12 Senate freshmen of both parties are moderates, new arrivals include tea party Republican Ted Cruz of Texas, conservative Deb Fischer of Nebraska, and liberals such as Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin and Hawaii’s Mazie Hirono. There’s a similar pattern in the House, where 10 of the 24 Democratic Blue Dogs lost, are retiring or, in the case of Rep. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., are moving to the Senate. That will further slash a centrist group that just a few years ago had more than 50 members, though some new freshmen might join.
Lesbian couple in high court for benefits fight By LISA LEFF The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO – Like a lot of newlyweds, Karen Golinski was eager to enjoy the financial fruits of marriage. Within weeks of her wedding, she applied to add her spouse to her employer-sponsored health care plan, a move that would save the couple thousands of dollars a year. Her ordinarily routine request still is being debated more than four years later, and by the likes of former attorneys general, a slew of senators, the Obama adminis-
tration and possibly this week, the U.S. Supreme Court. Because Golinski is married to another woman and works for the U.S. government, her claim for benefits has morphed into a multilayered legal challenge to a 1996 law that prohibits the federal government from recognizing unions like hers. The high court has scheduled a closed-door conference for Friday to review Golinski’s case and four others that also seek to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act overwhelmingly approved by Congress and signed by President Bill
Clinton. The purpose of the meeting is to decide which, if any, to put on the court’s schedule for arguments next year. The outcome carries economic and social consequences for gay, lesbian and bisexual couples, who now are unable to access Social Security survivor benefits, file joint income taxes, inherit a deceased spouse’s pension or obtain family health insurance. The other plaintiffs in the cases pending before the court include the state of Massachusetts, 13 couples and five widows and widowers.
one in their home did a Google search for “fool-proof” suffocation methods on the day the girl was last seen alive. Orange County sheriff’s Capt. Angelo Nieves said Sunday that the office’s computer investiga-
tor missed the June 16, 2008, search. Orlando TV station WKMG reported the search was on a browser primarily used by Anthony, who was acquitted of the girl’s murder in 2011.

Fire kills 112 at Bangladesh factory By JULHAS ALAM The Associated Press
DHAKA, Bangladesh – Fire raced up the floors of a garment factory in Bangladesh, killing at least 112 people, many of them trapped in the eight-story building with no emergency exits where they make clothes for major global retailers. The factory outside the capital, Dhaka, is owned by Tazreen Fashions Ltd., a subsidiary of the Tuba Group, which makes products for Wal-Mart and other companies in the U.S. and Europe. Firefighters recovered at least 100 bodies from the factory and 12 more people died at
hospitals after jumping from the building to escape, Maj. Mohammad Mahbub, fire department operations director, told The Associated Press on Sunday. Local media reported that up to 124 people were killed. The cause of the blaze that began late Saturday was not immediately clear, and authorities ordered an investigation. Army soldiers and border guards were helping keep order as thousands of onlookers and anxious relatives of the factory workers gathered, Mahbub said. Tazreen was given a “high risk” safety rating after a May 16, 2011, audit conducted by an “ethical sourcing” asses-
sor for Wal-Mart, according to a document posted on the Tuba Group’s website. It did not specify what led to the rating. Wal-Mart spokesman Kevin Gardner said online documents indicating an orange or “high risk” assessment after the May 2011 inspection and a yellow or “medium risk” report after an inspection in August 2011 appeared to pertain to the factory. The August 2011 letter said Wal-Mart would conduct another inspection within one year. Gardner said it was not clear whether that inspection had been conducted or whether the factory was still making products for Wal-Mart.
If a factory is rated “orange” three times in two years, Wal-Mart won’t place any orders for one year. The May 2011 report was the first orange rating for the factory. Neither Tazreen’s owner nor Tuba Group officials could be reached for comment. The Tuba Group is a major Bangladeshi garment exporter whose clients also include Carrefour and IKEA, according to its website. Its factories export garments to the U.S., Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands, among other countries. The Tazreen factory, which opened in 2009 and employed about 1,700 people, made polo shirts, fleece jackets and T-shirts.

County government’s levy for next year’s taxes about $78.5M • BUDGET
Continued from page A1
Board member John Hammerand, R-Wonder Lake, cast the sole vote last week against the new budget. He said the levy still contains growth, in the form of new development that is not capped. Hammerand also questioned the $5.25 million levied to help subsidize Valley Hi Nursing Home. “I keep my campaign promises. It’s a tax increase, and I voted against it,” Hammerand said.
How they voted The McHenry County Board voted Tuesday evening, 22-1, to approve a $250 million 2013 budget that holds next year’s property tax levy flat. Board member John Hammerand, R-Wonder Lake, cast the sole opposing vote. Board member Robert Bless, R-Fox River Grove, was absent. The County Board is one of several area governments to reject or consider rejecting the 3 percent increase under the tax cap. The tax cap was meant to protect collar-county taxpayers by limiting how much more taxing bodies can collect
each year to either the rate of inflation or 5 percent, whichever is smaller. But when home values decline – a scenario never considered by lawmakers – the cap helps government and hurts taxpayers by guaranteeing that taxing bodies can
collect the increase to offset inflation if they choose to do so. County government’s levy for next year’s taxes totals more than $78.5 million. This year’s budget development process went more smoothly than last year, when board members on the night of the budget vote had a change of heart and attempted to freeze the levy and not collect a 1.5 percent increase allowed under the tax cap. That episode prompted a top-to-bottom review of the county budget process and an earlier start to it.
Quinn says compromise possible on more casinos • LAWMAKERS
Continued from page A1 One legislative aide said there have been preliminary talks with Quinn’s office about potential supplemental appropriations. A few weeks ago, a massive expansion of legalized gambling – twice approved by the General Assembly but never given Quinn’s blessing – looked ripe for an override, at least in the House. Less certain would be an OK in the Senate – where a veto push would start because the legislation originated there. Proponents of allowing five more casinos in the state – including one in Chicago – and slot machines at horse-racing tracks say it’s necessary to increase state revenue and compete with neighboring states luring away Illinois gamblers and their pocketbooks. Quinn has objected, saying the plan lacks regulatory oversight and fails to put money toward public education. But Quinn told The Associated Press earlier this month he believes a compromise is in the offing. Of major assistance in that scenario, according to House sponsor Rep. Lou Lang, is newly offered assistance of House Speaker Michael Madigan. For almost 20 years, the Chicago Democrat has recused himself from negotiations about gambling to avoid a potential conflict of interest with his private law practice, which he said might serve clients interested in casino development. Lang said Madigan no longer has the conflict – something Madigan spokesman Steve Brown confirmed without elaborating – and has orchestrated discussions designed to lead to a deal. “It’s a very big issue, and the speaker, with good reason, likes to involve himself in the big issues,” said Lang, D-Skokie, “so ... perhaps he
can be helpful in the process of getting the governor to the table.” Senate President John Cullerton favors a negotiated pact, but hasn’t committed to action before January, when lawmakers are scheduled to meet next, spokeswoman Rikeesha Phelon said. Quinn’s office did not respond to requests for comment. In earlier comments to the AP, Quinn sounded uncharacteristically upbeat about a casino plan. “I’m optimistic we can put something together,” he said. In crafting a state budget last winter, Quinn slashed spending with plans to close several correctional facilities and units for mental health treatment and care of the developmentally disabled. Lawmakers objected, sending him a budget with money appropriated to keep open places such as the Tamms high-security prison and the women’s lockup at Dwight. Quinn stood firm, reducing that allocation by $57 million and saying he wanted to use the money for other programs, such as child protective services. Cullerton, a Chicago Democrat, is preparing an override of that budget-bill reduction, Phelon said. But it would only mean Quinn couldn’t spend the money as he pleased. It would not force the governor to keep prisons and other sites open. Sen. David Leuchtefeld, R-Okawville, said he hopes he doesn’t lose gun-related legislation he sponsored to a Quinn assault-weapons ban. Leuchtefeld’s proposal would close a loophole that prevents Illinois residents from buying ammunition through the mail from Illinois suppliers. It easily won legislative approval, but Quinn used his amendatory veto power to substitute language banning new assault-style weapons, large-capacity ammunition magazines and similar guns.

Secession movements “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, will react in the most shortsighted fashion possible and break away from this tyrannical republic, because (insert name of petitioner’s state here) is well-equipped to stand on its own since our candidate lost the presidential election.” That statement should perhaps serve as a guiding preamble to the seemingly hottest trend in the country – secession of states from the United States. In the wake of the election, people in Mississippi and the other 49 states have filed petitions asking that their states be allowed to peacefully secede from the union. Some have gotten at least 25,000 signatures, which would require an official response from the White House. That response should be: This is ridiculous. Because we all know how it went when states last seceded in 1861 to 1865. At least the petitioners this time aren’t calling for a revolution. Eric B. of Picayune launched Mississippi’s petition two days after the election, in which Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney lost despite gaining most of the Magnolia State’s votes. He writes that Mississippi should be allowed to withdraw from the U.S. “and create its own NEW governmen (sic).” At least 11,000 people have signed Eric’s screed. True, the effort to break away likely will easily fail. But the fact that the thought of succession has gotten this much traction is more than a bit alarming. States like Mississippi need federal dollars and support for a host of quality-of-life issues. Beyond that, the state would have to create its own security forces and military when it can already barely fund education. But as for secession talk, we don’t need two Americas. The Civil War should have been a resounding reminder of that. Even if it means passionate yet constructive disagreement, or your party not always winning every election or majority in Congress, we are much stronger, and always will be, as one America.

To the Editor: I don’t understand all I know about this modern math. We on Social Security have had no increase for two years and about a 1 percent increase each year for two years in our cost of living. Gas went from $1.89 to $4 a gallon until a couple of days ago. Food – I wish I had a newspaper advertisement from four years ago – is up substantially in four years. The cause of high real estate and other taxes is what I call the “gotta-have people.” I gotta have 15 percent of the land in the county in the McHenry County Conservation District area, off the tax role and administrated by a bureaucracy. I gotta have three beach houses in Crystal Lake; an underpass for bikes crossing Route 14; golf courses, etc. If you gotta have it, it has to be built and maintained for 70 years.

Tax increase coming
To the Editor: The year 2013 will see any number of tax increases at all levels of government. The re-elected presi-
dent will begin with a nearly $1.6 trillion tax hike, which is just more of the same. Medicare taxes will go up for everyone, and Al Gore wants a new tax on fuels. However, here in November and December, watch those legal notices of approved tax levies that must be published. This is how your property taxes increase every year. Some of our taxing bodies did show some restraint by holding down their tax hikes in the past two or three years, as our home values sank and the economy tanked with many foreclosures. Now the taxing bodies are planning to catch up with their missed raises and pension benefits by raising taxes. All it takes is their board’s approval, with no tax referendum. District 155 will raise its levy by 8 percent, Lakemoor will go up “just a little” by 4.7 percent. And let us not forget the Cary Park District, which wants to buy another golf course and add millions to its debt. In Cary, we pay the park district twice the taxes paid to our village of Cary. Go figure. Just look at the line items on your property tax bill. If each one increases by 4.7 percent to 8 percent, the overall tax increases

Ellsworth’s legal, political contributions many On this day (Nov. 26) in 1807, former U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut died (age 67) after a long, lingering illness contracted during a diplomatic trip to Europe in 1799-1800. Although relatively unknown today, the second chief justice of the United States belongs in any pantheon of leading Revolutionary Era politicians, jurists and diplomats. Born April 29, 1745, into the locally prominent family of Capt. David and Jemima Ellsworth in Windsor, Conn., the mildly eccentric Oliver received an excellent classical and legal education, which prepared him well for his many public careers as a well-respected jurist, as a state and national political figure, as a well-regarded diplomat, and as a framer of the U.S. Constitution willing to compromise to achieve a viable “federal system” of government. His formal education included an intense pre-college course of study primarily in the classics and theology, two years at nearby Yale College (1762-1764) and two years and graduation from the College of New Jersey (present-day Princeton) 1764-1766. Graduation was followed by a five-year study of the law and admission to the bar in 1771, after which he established a lucrative legal practice first in Windsor and, after 1775, in Hartford. Considered at least eccentric by some and overly “elitist” by others, Oliver was a constant user of snuff, always
8THE FIRST AMENDMENT
ON THIS DAY Joseph C. Morton dressed elegantly and overly formal, and often was heard talking to himself. His 1772 marriage to Abigail Wolcott solidified his claim to social, economic, political and legal prominence. His marriage into the prominent Wolcott family, his excellent education, and his obvious legal acumen all augured well for the future of the affable, talented, ambitious young barrister. Despite noteworthy accomplishments in several fields (i.e., political, legal and diplomatic) he is primarily remembered today for his work as a judge and legal scholar. His service in several important judicial positions in Connecticut seemed to have served him well as an “apprenticeship” for his later career as a distinguished jurist at the national level. Among Ellsworth’s most significant legal and political attainments at the national level were 1. his work as the primary draftsman (as one of Connecticut’s three delegates to the Constitutional Convention) of Article Three of the Constitution, which established the Supreme Court. 2. his authorship (as one of Connecticut’s first U.S. senators), of the Judiciary Act of 1789, which effectively
established our Federal Court System; and 3. his service as the second chief justice of the U.S. (1796-1800). When these attainments in the legal field are considered with his widely recognized political achievements (i.e., prominent state and Federalist national legislator and co-author, with friend and colleague Roger Sherman at the Constitutional Convention, of the Connecticut Compromise) and his diplomatic service as one of the three envoys appointed in 1799 by President John Adams to go to Paris to negotiate a peaceful resolution, which was finally accomplished with the signing in 1800 of the Treaty of Mortefontaine, to the undeclared naval war (so-called quasi-war) with France, Oliver Ellsworth deserves recognition as one of the leading and most influential legal, diplomatic, and political figures of the entire Revolutionary generation. Sad to relate, however, the now unknown malady contracted while in Europe led to his demise on this day in 1807. Upon his death, Oliver Ellsworth was widely eulogized as one of the most revered of the Founders and Framers.

NIU FOOTBALL
Huskies climb toward possible BCS bowl By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com
Northern Illinois running back Akeem Daniels breaks away from Eastern Michigan’s Dustin Creel for a touchdown during the first quarter Friday in Ypsilanti, Mich. NIU won, 49-7.
DeKALB – When the latest Bowl Championship Series standings were announced Sunday night, Northern Illinois came in at No. 21 with a score of .194. Three things determine the BCS standings – the USA Today Coaches Poll, the Harris Poll and the cumulative score of the computer rankings. NIU is 18th in the latest Coaches Poll and 19th in the Harris Poll. The Huskies (11-1) are at No. 23 in the computer rankings. Should NIU beat Kent State, which is No. 17 in the BCS (.251), in Friday’s Mid-American Conference Championship Game, the Huskies have a shot at qualifying for a BCS bowl game. NIU would make a BCS game if it finishes in the top 16 of the BCS standings, is the highest-ranked non-automatic qualifying conference champion, and is ahead of a conference champion from one of the six BCS leagues. With a victory over Kent St., the Huskies should finish

ahead of the Big East champion. NIU also would likely finish ahead of Wisconsin, if the 7-5 Badgers beat No. 12 Nebraska in the Big Ten title game, or 6-6 Georgia Tech, which plays No. 13 Florida State in the ACC title game. Coach Dave Doeren’s team was helped out by some of the chaos in college football this past week as Big East favorites Rutgers and Louisville both lost. Neither school is ranked in the latest BCS standings. The Scarlet Knights were No. 18 in last week’s rankings, and the Cardinals were No. 20. The Huskies were also helped by losses from then-No. 15 Oregon State, then-No. 16 Texas, thenNo. 17 UCLA, then-No. 19 Michigan, then-No. 21 Oklahoma State, then-No. 24 Arizona and then-No. 25 Washington this past week. “It was a crazy day,” Doeren said after Sunday’s practice at Huskie Stadium. “There was a lot of things that needed to go our way to be in the conversation, and I think we put ourselves in a position where if we win the game here coming up,
that there are going to be a lot of arguments for us moving up. “All we can do now is handle our business. The dominoes kind of fell into place where we have the chance to have that conversation if we can win another game.” BCS-relevant games to keep an eye on Saturday are No. 20 Boise State at Nevada, the ACC Championship Game, Big Ten Championship Game, Pac-12 Championship Game between No. 8 Stanford and No. 16 UCLA and No. 18 Texas’ game at No. 6 Kansas State. NIU would move ahead of Kent State with a win, and there’s a chance the Huskies could move past the Bruins and Longhorns, if both teams lose. NIU also has a shot to move ahead of Boise State, even if the Broncos win, as they have a BCS mark of 0.203, just nine points higher than the Huskies. No one-loss, non-AQ team has ever made it to a BCS bowl game. TCU was the last nonAQ team to play in a BCS bowl game, defeating Wisconsin, 2119, in the 2011 Rose Bowl.

North Carolina State getting rid of Tom O’Brien took more than a few people off guard. So did Colorado letting Jon Embree go after only two seasons. Sunday was a tumultuous one around college football, with five coaches losing their jobs to bring the total openings in FBS to 12 – including four in the Southeastern Conference. Chizik was fired by Auburn after one of the most stunning and dramatic falls in college football history. The Tigers won the second national championship in program history behind Cam Newton in 2010.

He was 33-19 in four seasons and 15-17 in SEC games. More than 6-6 was expected from Purdue this season, but Hope and the Boilermakers needed a late rush just to get bowl eligible. Hope won’t get to coach Purdue’s latest bowl game. He went 22-27 in four seasons. Spaziani’s Boston College teams have had progressively worse records in each of his four seasons. The
WGC: DUBAI WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
McIlroy surges late to win season finale By MICHAEL CASEY The Associated Press
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Rory McIlroy made five straight birdies down the stretch to overtake Justin Rose and win the Dubai World Championship on Sunday, ending a historic year in which the 23-year-old Northern Irishman won the PGA Championship and the European and PGA tour money titles. The top-ranked McIlroy recovered from early putting woes to finish at 6-under 66 for a total 23-under 265 at the season-ending tournament. Rose, who was tied for seventh after three rounds, surged down the stretch into contention after shooting a course-record 62 that included an eagle and eight birdies. “I just wanted to finish the season the way I thought I deserved to finish the season,” McIlroy said after holing a birdie on 18 and raising his arms in the air in celebration. “You know, I played so well throughout the year and I didn’t want to just let it tail off sort of timidly. I wanted to come here and finish in style.” Second-ranked Luke Don-

Louis Oosthuizen (69) was another shot back in fifth. The day was supposed to be a duel between McIlroy and Donald, who were tied for the lead after the third round. The Englishman grabbed an early two-shot lead when McIlroy bogeyed the first and Donald birdied the second. But then Donald three-putted the third to end a streak of 102 holes on the Earth Course without a bogey to give McIlroy a chance. He then had another bogey on No. 12 to fall three back and never challenged after that, missing the green on the 17th to end his chances.
Eagles went 2-10 this season. He finished 22-29 as the head coach. North Carolina State finished 7-5 this season, and 4-4 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, including an upset of Florida State. Not great, but not all that far away from expectations. Still, it wasn’t enough to get O’Brien a seventh season. O’Brien went 40-35 after coming to Raleigh from Boston College following the 2006 season. He took the Wolfpack to three bowl games, but won’t coach in a fourth when N.C. State receives its bid next week. He went 22-26 in ACC play with not nearly enough marquee victories. Athletic director Debbie Yow said O’Brien’s buyout would be $1.2 million over four years. “Coach O’Brien and I agree on the goal of becoming a Top 25 program. We just don’t agree on what it takes to do that, how to get there,” Yow said. Colorado finished this season 1-11 and Embree was 4-21 in his two seasons since replacing Dan Hawkins.

NEW YORK – Two years before the playoffs start in college football, the Southeastern Conference is staging a semifinal to determine who plays Notre Dame in the BCS title game. Alabama (.9236) was second and Georgia (.8911) third in the BCS standings released Sunday. The Crimson Tide and Bulldogs play Saturday in Atlanta for the SEC championship. The winner will advance to the national championship game in Miami on Jan. 7 against the Fighting Irish (.9979), who locked up their spot Saturday with a 22-13 victory against Southern California. “If you think about what the game means, this that and the other, it doesn’t really help you win the game,” Georgia coach Mark Richt said. “The only thing that helps you win the game is preparation and getting your mind ready to go to battle. That’s what you’ve got to do.” Florida (.8882) is fourth in the standings, but with no games left, looks stuck behind their SEC rivals. The good

Explanation key The BCS Average is calculated by averaging the percent totals of the Harris Interactive, USA Today Coaches and Computer polls. Team percentages are derived by dividing a team’s actual voting points by a maximum 2875 possible points in the Harris Interactive Poll and 1475 possible points in the USA Today Coaches Poll.
news for the Gators is they are likely to get an at-large BCS bid to the Sugar Bowl, while the SEC runner-up is out of the big games all together. “For either one of these teams, it’s not really a great scenario,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said. One way or another, the SEC
will get a shot at its seventh straight BCS championship. The Bowl Championship Series is in its second-to-last season. It will be replaced by a four-team playoff in 2014. While the race for the BCS title game is now fairly straight forward heading into championship weekend in college football, there’s some intrigue to watch for involving potential BCS busters. The team that could be hurt most if a BCS buster emerges is Oklahoma. The Sooners are sitting 11th in the standings with a game left against TCU. With another victory, they would seem to be in good shape to get into the BCS even if Kansas State clinches the Big 12 by beating Texas. But that at-large spot could get gobbled up by a BCS buster. Other BCS automatic bids will be determined this weekend in the Pac-12, Big Ten and Atlantic Coast Conference. UCLA plays at Stanford in the Pac-12 title game with the winner going to the Rose Bowl. Wisconsin and Nebraska will play for the Big Ten’s Rose Bowl berth. Florida State and Georgia Tech play for the ACC title and a spot in the Orange Bowl.

MARIAN CENTRAL FOOTBALL
Stirneman changes course, picks Wyoming Firing of coach at W. Michigan leads to decision By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com Thanksgiving weekend turned out to be much busier than Marian Central offensive tackle Kurtis Stirneman expected. Stirneman made a whirlwind, 48-hour, 2,000-mile round-trip trek to Laramie, Wyo., to lock up his
football future, committing to play at Wyoming on Saturday. Stirneman, a 6-foot-6, 280-pound tackle, committed to Western Michigan over the summer but announced Saturday night on Twitter he had changed his mind. After months of planning to continue his playing career with the Broncos, Stirneman found himself in limbo after Western Michigan fired coach Bill Cubit on Nov. 17. That prompted Stirneman to use Thanksgiving break to travel to Wyoming. Stirneman had a standing offer from Cowboys coach Dave Christensen and was impressed with the
school based on research he had done online. But after leaving home Friday at 6 a.m. and arriving at 10:30 p.m., Stirneman met with Christensen for 45 minutes before touring the campus Saturday. Before he left Kurtis Saturday night, Stirneman he knew where he wanted to spend the next four years. Stirneman said Sunday morning he expected he would make a decision before he returned home. “Just with the fallout at West-
ern Michigan, I figured I would [commit],” Stirneman said. “For months, you have this feeling that you know where you’re going to be and how things are going to go, and then it’s all taken away from you. “It just feels good to have that security back.” Stirneman said he liked Wyoming’s tight-knit campus environment and also felt at home in Laramie’s small-town atmosphere. Stirneman made the trip with Connor Riese, a standout 6-7, 305-pound offensive lineman from Wisconsin, who also had committed to play at Western Michigan. The two attended a Western
Michigan game together and hit it off. But after Cubit was fired, Stirneman and Riese spent much of the week on the phone or texting, trying to decide what they’d do next. On Saturday, both committed to play for the Cowboys before making the 1,000-mile trip back and arriving home at 8:45 a.m. Sunday. As with his decision to play for Wyoming, Stirneman announced his arrival back in McHenry County on Twitter. “Finally back home in my bed. 2,000 miles in a 48 hour trip,” he tweeted Sunday. “That’s just a [darn] near good weekend.”
COLLEGE BASKETBALL: ILLINOIS 63, GARDNER-WEBB 62
Griffey’s clutch 3 lifts Illini By EMILY BAYCI The Associated Press
Josh Peckler – jpeckler@shawmedia.com
Cary-Grove fans throw baby powder Saturday at the start of the Class 6A state championship football game against Crete-Monee at Memorial Stadium in Champaign. Cary-Grove lost, 33-26.
CARY-GROVE FOOTBALL
Tough loss can’t spoil experience for Trojans By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com A few yards away, behind the south end zone of the University of Illinois’ Memorial Stadium, Crete-Monee was being handed the IHSA Class 6A football state championship trophy. Over the din of the Warriors’ celebration, Cary-Grove coach Brad Seaburg could not wait. He needed to address his players, as he had 13 previous times in the football season. This talk would be much briefer, but probably the most meaningful. “This hurts so bad because you invested so much,” Seaburg said. “But you investing so much is what makes it worth it.” The Trojans fell short of the ultimate goal, a state championship, but they were close. Crete-Monee, led by the extraordinary talents of receiver-safety Laquon Treadwell, won the state title game, 33-26, Saturday in Champaign. C-G was trying to win its second state championship in four years. Five of this year’s seniors – Quinn Baker, Ryan Mahoney, Zach Marszal, Kyle Norberg and Patrick O’Malley – actually received medals with that team as players
RL
called up for the playoffs. This year’s championship medals would have meant more, however, because this was really their team. “It was a cool experience to be a part of,” Marszal said of their 13-1 record this season. “I couldn’t ask for a better group of people to be down here with, and we would have liked to come out of here with a win, but that’s the way it goes. [Crete-Monee] earned it, and we just had too many costly mistakes. We’re still proud of a second-place finish.” The loss will gnaw at C-G for some time. There were ample opportunities, but four turnovers were costly. Twice, those ended drives around C-M’s 20-yard line. Another fumble, deep in C-G territory, was scooped up for a Warriors’ defensive touchdown. Although they fell behind 3316 in the third quarter, the Trojans were close. They scored 10 fourth-quarter points, kept C-M from scoring again and eventually ran out of time. “We never felt like we were out of it when we were down by 17,” Seaburg said. The Trojans handed Prairie Ridge’s state championship team its only loss last season, 22-21, in Week 9 of the regular season. C-G lost to Nazareth,
24-0, in the second round of the Class 6A playoffs and didn’t get another shot at Prairie Ridge. C-G used the bitter taste from that loss as motivation throughout the offseason as it prepared for what people thought would be a strong season. The Trojans’ closest regular-season game came in Week 3 against Crystal Lake South, a 17-3 victory. C-G overcame injuries to key offensive players – Baker, Mahoney and sophomore guard Michael Gomez – and got healthy at just most opportune time. The Trojans were pushed by Crystal Lake Central, 7-0, in the quarterfinals, then played perhaps their best game to defeat Lake Forest, 4221, in the semifinals. In that game, the option attack was brilliant, racking up 512 yards, all on the ground. In the championship game, the Trojans faced a team with outstanding speed and a tough defense that forced turnovers and kept them from breaking their usual big runs. “The outcome wasn’t how we wanted it to be, but it was a really exciting experience,” Baker said. “Both crowds were really into the game. It was a close game and it was a great experience to have, but the wrong outcome.”

CHAMPAIGN – Tyler Griffey’s first-half stat line was all but empty – no points, no assists, no rebounds and little to show he’d been on the court as Illinois struggled Sunday to get a handle on underdog Gardner-Webb. But with 4.4 seconds left on the clock, the Illini turned to the senior forward and he came through, burying a long 3-pointer on a feed from Brandon Paul to pull out the win, 63-62. Griffey and Illinois’ other upperclassmen overcame a sluggish first half in which the Illini (7-0) shot 33 percent from the field. “I give credit to Griffey,” Gardner-Webb coach Chris Holtmann said. “We had two guys on Paul, I believe it was,
and Griffey stepped up and did what upperclassmen do.” Without much time to assess, Griffey said the shot was probably one of the biggest in his career. “It’s up there,” Griffey said. Griffey’s 3 followed a banked-in 3-pointer from Tashan Newsome with 12 seconds left that gave the Runnin’ Bulldogs a 62-60 lead. Griffey was one of four Illinois players to finish with 13 points Sunday with D.J. Richardson, Brandon Paul and Joseph Bertrand. Four days after the Illini beat Butler to claim the Maui Invitational crown, it seemed like an entirely different Illinois team was on the court, and not just because of the cold shooting. Gardner-Webb (4-4), which led all the way in winning Nov. 15 at DePaul, 71-59, was
ready to play. “We didn’t have enough toughness mentally early,” Illinois coach John Groce said. “They set the rules for the game.” Paul scored 20 or more points in each of the Illini’s wins in Hawaii, and led the team with 20 in the championship game win over Butler on Wednesday. On Sunday, Paul all but disappeared during the first 20 minutes. His free throw with 4 seconds left in the half was his only point before the break, though it did give Illinois a 2423 lead. Paul was 0 for 4 from the field in the half. Tracy Abrams, who solidly contributed in points and assists in Maui, was cold the entire night. The sophomore guard had four turnovers and two rebounds and barely saw time in the second half.

Monday, November 26, 2012 • Page B5 Broncos 17, Chiefs 9
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Peyton Manning was wooed by the Chiefs early in the offseason, after the four-time MVP had been cut loose by Indianapolis and before he signed a five-year deal with Denver. On Sunday, he showed exactly why Kansas City was after him. Manning threw for 285 yards and two touchdowns, and led the Broncos (8-3) down the field in the final minutes when the Chiefs (1-10) were frantically trying to get a stop, setting up a field goal that sealed a victory and their sixth consecutive win. It allowed Manning to break a tie with his boss and Broncos vice president John Elway with his 149th win as a starting quarterback, trailing only Brett Favre (186) for most in NFL history. Jamaal Charles ran for 107 yards for the Chiefs.

New York Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora knocks the ball away from Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the first half Sunday night in East Rutherford, N.J. The Giants won, 38-10.
GIANTS 38, PACKERS 10
Giants pummel Packers Loss leaves Green Bay game behind Bears for 1st By BARRY WILNER The Associated Press EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – So much for that tired arm for Eli Manning, and that offensive slump for the New York Giants. They got it fixed in their bye week, then routed the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, 38-10. The Packers certainly can attest to New York’s turnaround after a week off. The showcase game was decided early as the Giants outscored the Packers, 31-10, in the opening half and cruised. Manning reached 200 career TD passes by throwing for three scores as New York (7-4) snapped a two-game slide, ended Green Bay’s five-game winning streak, and opened a two-game lead in the NFC East. The Packers (7-4) were missing such key starters as linebacker Clay Matthews, defensive back Charles Woodson and receiver Greg Jennings, and it showed as they fell a game behind the first-place Bears
in the NFC North. After being manhandled in last season’s playoffs by the Giants, who went on to win the Super Bowl, the Packers weren’t much more competitive this time. Aaron Rodgers was sacked five times, including twice by Mathias Kiwanuka, who spent much of the game at defensive tackle rather than in his usual linebacker spot. New York’s balanced attack was guided by Manning, who had his first strong game in a month with 249 yards passing, and Ahmad Bradshaw, who gained a combined 119 yards and scored a touchdown. He had the first big play of the night to begin the offensive onslaught. New York struck early with a brilliantly conceived screen pass to Bradshaw off a fake reverse to Victor Cruz. Bradshaw sped down the field before being caught at the Green Bay 2, a 59-yard pickup that led to Andre Brown’s scoring run. Brown later broke his leg; coach Tom Coughlin did not say which leg after the game.
“It will be a tough loss, he is an important player,” Manning said. Green Bay didn’t flinch, with Jordy Nelson getting behind Corey Webster in single coverage down the right sideline for a 61-yard TD reception from Rodgers. The scoring flurry went back in the Giants’ favor when Manning hit rookie Rueben Randle in the back of the end zone for a 16-yard TD, Randle’s first NFL score. It was Manning’s first touchdown throw in four games, and he set it up with a scramble in which he laid his shoulder into Packers cornerback Tramon Williams for a 13-yard gain. Webster’s interception led to Lawrence Tynes’ 43-yard field goal late in the first quarter for a 17-7 lead, and the Giants weren’t nearly done. Manning’s 9-yard connection with Cruz tied him for the club record with 199 career TD passes, and after Osi Umenyiora’s strip-sack of Rodgers was recovered by Jason Pierre-Paul at the Green Bay 23, Bradshaw scored from the 13.
MIAMI – Ryan Tannehill moved the Dolphins 65 yards in six plays to set up a 43-yard field goal by Dan Carpenter at the final gun, and Miami rallied to beat Russell Wilson and Seattle. Carpenter hit the winning kick on his 27th birthday, and Miami (5-6) broke a three-game losing streak. The Seahawks (6-5), unbeaten at home this year, lost for the fifth time in six road games.
Browns 20, Steelers 14
CLEVELAND – Chris Rainey’s fumble with 2:25 left – Pittsburgh’s seventh turnover – was recovered by Cleveland’s Phil Taylor, and the Browns handed their hated rivals a potentially devastating loss. Charlie Batch, forced to start at quarterback for Pittsburgh because of injuries to Ben Roethlisberger and Byron Leftwich, was picked off three times, and the Steelers (6-5) lost five fumbles, the last on a final-play lateral to help the Browns (3-8) beat Pittsburgh for just the second time in 18 games.
Falcons 24, Buccaneers 23
TAMPA, Fla. – Atlanta stumbled into a hole, only to find a way to escape again. Matt Ryan threw for 353 yards and overcame two critical turnovers by leading another late touchdown drive to rally the Falcons (10-1) to a victory over Tampa Bay (6-5). Michael Turner’s 3-yard TD run put Atlanta ahead for good with 7:55 left. Connor Barth missed a 56-yard goal for Tampa Bay in the closing minutes, and the Bucs’ four-game winning streak ended when Josh Freeman’s desperation pass fell incomplete in the end zone with no time remaining.
Colts 20, Bills 13
INDIANAPOLIS – Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton made history Sunday. Indianapolis’ other emerging rookie star returned a punt 75 yards for one touchdown and caught an 8-yard pass from Andrew Luck in the third quarter to lead the Colts (7-4) past Buffalo (4-7).
Se
SUNDAY’S ROUNDUP The win strengthened Indy’s playoff position, Andrew Luck joined the 3,000-yard club, Reggie Wayne moved up two spots on the NFL’s career receptions list and Hilton became the first player in franchise history to score on a receiving touchdown and a kick return in the same game.
Bengals 34, Raiders 10
CINCINNATI – Carson Palmer had a horrid homecoming. Andy Dalton threw three touchdown passes, taking advantage of Oakland’s dreadful defense, and Cincinnati (6-5) showed its former franchise quarterback that it has moved on without him, beating the Raiders (3-8). BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran for 129 yards and a touchdown against the NFL’s most generous defense.
Jaguars 24, Titans 19
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Chad Henne provided another spark for the NFL’s worst offense, this one in a winning effort. Making his first start in more than 13 months, Henne threw two touchdown passes, and Jacksonville (2-9) beat Tennessee (4-7).
Ravens 16, Chargers 13 (OT)
SAN DIEGO – Baltimore converted a fourthand-29 on a dazzling catch-and-run by Ray Rice, forced overtime and then beat San Diego (4-7) on Justin Tucker’s 38-yard field goal with 1:07 left. Baltimore (9-2) took a firmer grip on the AFC North, increasing its lead to three games over Pittsburgh, which lost to Cleveland, and Cincinnati, which beat Oakland. The Ravens won their fourth straight.
Rams 31, Cardinals 17
GLENDALE, Ariz. – No NFL rookie since 1960 and no Rams rookie ever accomplished what cornerback Janoris Jenkins did Sunday. The second-round draft pick with off-the-field issues through his college career returned two interceptions for touchdowns, and St. Louis (46-1) dominated the second half to hand Arizona (4-7) its seventh loss in a row
49ers 31, Saints 21
NEW ORLEANS – Ahmad Brooks and Donte Whitner returned interceptions for touchdowns, the 49ers sacked Drew Brees five times, and San Francisco (8-2-1) ended a three-game winning streak by New Orleans (5-6). Colin Kaepernick was solid in his second career start at quarterback for the 49ers while Alex Smith watched from the sideline. Kaepernick passed for 231 yards, including a short touchdown to Frank Gore. He also ran for a 7-yard score. He threw his first career interception, but it was inconsequential. – The Associated Press

Houston Rockets coach Kevin McHale calls out to his players Nov. 7 against the Denver Nuggets in Houston. McHale’s 23-year-old daughter, Alexandra “Sasha” McHale, died Saturday.
HOUSTON ROCKETS
McHale’s daughter ‘Sasha’ dead at 23 The ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON – The daughter of Houston Rockets coach Kevin McHale has died at 23. Alexandra “Sasha” McHale died Saturday, and the team disclosed no other details Sunday. Kevin McHale has been on leave since Nov. 10 to deal with what the team called a personal family matter. During his absence, Kelvin Sampson has been the interim coach. There is no timetable for Kevin McHale’s return. Team owner Leslie Alexander said in a statement that he extends his “deepest condolences” over the loss of the McHales’ “beautiful daughter.” He called Kevin and wife Lynn “loving and dedicated parents who will need our continued
support throughout this very difficult time.” He said the “entire organization is mourning.” Some of the Rockets expressed their support for McHale. James Harden tweeted: “Praying for coach McHale and his family.” Chandler Parsons added on Twitter: “R.I.P. Sasha.” McHale spent several years with the Minnesota Timberwolves as a coach and executive before joining the Rockets after two seasons as a TV analyst. “While Kevin was with our organization, we all watched Sasha grow up and become an outstanding young woman,” Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor said in a statement. “She will be sorely missed by her family and friends.”

Vettel crashes, still wins 3rd consecutive F1 title By TALES AZZONI The Associated Press
SAO PAULO – Sebastian Vettel found himself spinning around on the track just after the start, watching helplessly as other cars whizzed past him. His Formula One title hopes seemed to be drifting away with them. It was only the start of Vettel’s problems Sunday in what he called the toughest race of his career. But he overcame all of them and came away with the only prize that mattered – his third straight championship title. Vettel shook off a first-lap crash and other difficulties to finish sixth at the Brazilian Grand Prix, good enough to protect his lead over challenger Fernando Alonso and become F1’s youngest three-time champion at age 25. “Everything that could go wrong went wrong,” he said. Jenson Button of McLaren won the race at Interlagos, with Alonso second and Fer-
rari teammate Felipe Massa third. Seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, F1’s most successful driver, finished seventh in his final race after 19 seasons. But they were all overshadowed by Vettel, who had to overcome a poor start, the early crash, a damaged car, a broken radio, a botched pit stop and pouring rain. “Just look at the stuff that went wrong. It was for sure the toughest race,” Vettel said. “We kept believing. It was never game over.” Vettel appeared in big trouble after he was bumped shortly after the start and spun. He dropped to last place before he could turn his car around and begin a difficult pursuit. But he worked his way up the field despite a slightly damaged car and no radio communication. “You are the man, you are a triple world champion,” a team official told Vettel on the radio after he crossed the line, without being able to listen to the driver’s response.
