Woman doesn’t set trap; burglar enters home NEW CASTLE, Pa. – A western Pennsylvania woman said a bear trap didn’t prevent a burglar from entering her home. The New Castle News reported that the woman told police that she usually keeps a large bear trap at the bottom of her basement steps, but forgot to set it Jan. 27, when a burglar stole tools from the home. Police said they suggested the woman find a different way of protecting her home from intruders.
Police: Pa. man stopped for beer after breakout BURGETTSTOWN, Pa. – Police say a western Pennsylvania man stopped at a bar and had a beer minutes after he broke out of a police station holding cell after his arrest on an assault charge. The Washington County Public Defender’s Office on Wednesday declined to comment on the charges filed against 40-year-old Smith Township resident Timothy Bonner. Police said they were processing Bonner, removed his handcuffs and placed him in the cell. That’s when Bonner allegedly knocked the cell door off its hinges and ran away.
Police: Fla. man arrested after pocket-dialing 911
ORANGE CITY, Fla. – A conversation with two passengers landed a Florida tow truck driver in jail after his cellphone pocket-dialed 911 and dispatchers listened in. Authorities said 19-year-old Matthew Dollarhide of Orange City was surprised when a Volusia County sheriff’s deputy pulled him over Tuesday and asked why they had been talking about selling drugs. From the conversation, dispatchers learned that they were driving a tow truck and heard the name Harry. Deputies pulled over a Harry’s Towing truck moments later. Authorities said deputies found a crack pipe on Dollarhide, who was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.

Johnsburg’s ‘octopus’ sewer project almost done By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com
JOHNSBURG – The sewer project that closed down a chunk of Fairview Avenue for six weeks in the fall is “substantially complete,” Johnsburg’s village administrator said. “It is on time. It is within the budget,” Village Administrator Claudett Peters said. The completed phase cost just more than $880,000, most of that going to the contractor, Glenbrook Excavating. It is being paid for with
federal and state grant funding. All that’s left for the spring is resurfacing areas of the road that were cut open for the project and landscape restoration, Peters said. That will cost about $100,000. Fairview Avenue won’t have to be completely closed, although there might be some temporary lane closures while they’re being paved, she said. The project involved installing sewer infrastructure along Fairview Avenue from
“[The sewer project] is on time. It is within the budget.” Village Administrator Claudett Peters Chapel Hill Road to Church Street and continuing onto west Church Street about 300 feet. The installation is the backbone of a larger project that eventually will serve more than 400 properties in Johnsburg, Peters said. “It’s like an octopus,” Trustee Rich Janusz said.

Craver: Welcome back to the County Board. Barnes: Thanks. I’m very happy to be back. The time went by very quickly. I think that’s because I have my kids, and time always flies by with kids. And I stayed in touch with County Board members and the issues. I missed it.
Craver: When did you decide to run again? Barnes: Probably about three months before we had to file the paperwork. I received a lot of support. People still called me, just like they did when I was a Cary village trustee. They still thought I was there on the board.
Craver: What are your priorities? Barnes: A big priority for me is education – being responsive to citizens’ needs and letting them know how to approach their problems. How do you appeal your tax bill? How do you get a permit to build an extension on your property? One of my big issues is communication. The county does a great job communicating electronically, but I have concerns about all my senior friends who don’t use com-
8LOCAL BRIEF Between 3 and 5 inches of snow expected today Snow-covered roads and limited visibility may cause difficulties during rush hour this morning. The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory Sunday afternoon, warning that snow falling Sunday evening through noon today may cause travel difficulties. Between 3 and 5 inches of snow was expected to fall over that time period, hitting northern Illinois in particular, according to the advisory. Light snow showers may continue through this afternoon. The heaviest snowfall was expected to occur from around midnight to 5 a.m. from Rockford to the Marengo area and 3 to 8 a.m. in the central and northern Chicagoland area, it said.

Yvonne Barnes One of the nine new members of the McHenry County Board isn’t quite as new as the others. Former Cary Village Trustee Yvonne Barnes was elected in 2006 to the McHenry County Board, where she quickly established herself and landed a committee chairmanship two years later. But she narrowly lost her re-election bid in 2010 in the Republican primary. Voters in November re-elected her to another four-year term, and Barnes, a technical communications specialist and mother of seven children, is picking up where she left off. Senior reporter Kevin Craver sat down with Barnes at Conscious Cup Coffee in Crystal Lake to talk about government, and he learned in the process to never challenge her to a word game.
hook up. Because of years of contention over the sewer system – which included a lawsuit that ended up before the Illinois Supreme Court – neighborhoods will have to approach the village if they want to get added to the system. About 70 percent of residents in a neighborhood must sign a petition to go ahead with a sewer project. After the petition is submitted, a public hearing will be held, followed by a 60-day objection period.
Street weren’t originally part of the plan, Janusz said, but the village’s engineering firm, HR Green, was frugal enough to continue on Church Street. “It doesn’t sound like much but it goes far enough that it gives the junior and the grade school the ability to hook on,” he said. The village is determining what the connection costs will be and will notify property owners when that information is available, Peters said. They are not required to

puters and don’t want to.
Craver: I’m a words guy, obviously, so I have to ask why your favorite book is the dictionary. Barnes: Because you can learn something new every time you open it. My grandfather taught me to learn something new every day. And it’s because I’m a Scrabble addict. Words are wonderful. I once took an etymology class. I thought it was the coolest thing.
Craver: Speaking of words, some of my readers are going to think you studied bugs [etymolology is the study of words, entomology is the study of insects]. Do you let your kids win? Barnes: They can win without me letting them. Sometimes I play Scrabble

Craver: Do you play Words With Friends? Barnes: No. I’m not that big of a technology person.
Craver: [Gesturing to the iPad on the table] You have an iPad and you don’t play Words With Friends? Barnes: This is the county’s iPad. We’re going paperless. I use it only for county business.
Craver: My wife plays Words With Friends with her mother, who strongly suspects that her opponent is in fact her journalist son-in-law. She suspects correctly. As for being a pizza fanatic, what kind do you like? Barnes: Given the choice, I’ll take straight cheese, but I’ve been known to make fruit pizzas, vegetable pizzas, even potato salad pizzas.
Craver: Potato salad? Oh, geez! I was stationed in Europe, and they have some real messed-up ideas about what to put on a pizza, let me tell you, but I never saw potato salad. Barnes: Remember what your parents told you as a child – it all gets mixed up inside you anyway.

Obama: Boy Scouts should allow gays By NEDRA PICKLER The Associated Press
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama said Sunday that gays should be allowed in the Boy Scouts and women should be allowed in military combat roles, weighing in on two storied American institutions facing proposals to end long-held exclusions. The president’s comments in a pre-Super Bowl interview on CBS come ahead of
this week’s meeting of the Boy Scouts’ national executive board. A proposal to open up the Scouts’ membership to gays is expected to be discussed and possibly voted on at the gathering in Texas. The Boy Scouts emphatically reaffirmed the no-gays policy just seven months ago, but announced last week they were considering changing the stance. Instead of mandatory exclusion of gays, the different religious and civic
groups that sponsor Scout units would be able to decide for themselves how to address the issue – either maintaining the exclusion or opening up their membership. The White House said in a statement in August that Obama opposed the gay ban. Obama, like presidents for the last century, serves as honorary president of the group. The president’s comment Sunday was his first since the group announced it was considering
a policy change. “My attitude is that gays and lesbians should have access and opportunity the same way everybody else does in every institution and walk of life,” Obama said. “The Scouts are a great institution that are promoting young people and exposing them to opportunities and leadership that will serve people for the rest of their lives. And I think nobody should be barred from that.”
Oh the drama! Super Bowl commercials go epic By MAE ANDERSON The Associated Press
NEW YORK – Super Bowl ads this year morphed into mini soap operas. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson shrugged off aliens so he could get more milk for his kids in a Super Bowl spot for the Milk Processor Education Program. Anheuser-Busch’s commercial told the story of a baby Clydesdale growing up and returning to his owner for a heartfelt hug years later. And a Jeep ad portrayed the trials and triumphs of families waiting for their return of family members. The reason for all the drama off the field? With 30-second spots going for as much as $4 million and more than 111 million viewers expected to tune in, marketers are constantly looking for ways to make their ads stand out. Chrysler started the longformat commercial trend last year, with a two-minute spot starring Clint Eastwood that became very popular. This year, Chrysler led the trend again with its two-min-

RONALD SCOTT PETERSON
Died: Feb. 1, 2013; in Woodstock
WOODSTOCK – Ronald Scott Peterson, born 60 years ago in Chicago, died Friday, Feb. 1, 2013, in Woodstock. He grew up in Edison Park, graduated from Saint Juliana in 1966, Notre Dame High School in 1970, and Washburn Trade School in 1974, becoming an IBEW #134 electrician. Ron inspired others with his belief that every dream can be realized. He owned his own electrical company, concrete company, built and sold homes and bought Oney’s Tree Farm. He ran circles around the ordinary man, and his wife accused him of building business plans in his sleep. Ron enjoyed fishing, photography, gold panning, gemstone exploration, and his family and friends will miss his devilish sense

Wendy Ochoa, a high school teacher who lives in Novi, Michigan, said the ad was very emotional. “It tugs on your heartstrings,” Ochoa, 44, said. “How can it not?” Anheuser-Busch also pulled at heartstrings with a spot about a baby Clydesdale growing up and moving away from his farm and his trainer. Years later, the horse remembered the trainer after returning for a parade. He raced down a street to hug him.
Not all of the storytelling ads were dramatic, though. Samsung’s two-minute ad showed Seth Rogen (“The Guilt Trip”) and Paul Rudd (“Role Models”) getting called in to do a “Next Big Thing” ad for Samsung. But they’re agitated once they realize that they’re sharing the spotlight. LeBron James, an NBA basketball player for the Miami Heat, makes a cameo, appearing on the screen of a tablet.

ARLENE I. WRIGHT
Born: July 12, 1929; in Wisconsin Dells, Wis. Died: Feb. 2, 2013 GURNEE – Arlene I. Wright, 83, of Gurnee and formerly of Wonder Lake, died Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013, at Lake Forest Hospital. She was born July 12, 1929, in Wisconsin Dells, Wis., to William Harold and Tillie (Forman) Dunham. Following high school, she began her career at Metropolitan Insurance Company in Madison, Wis. She was united in marriage with Russell Wright on March 26, 1950. Later, she was a secretary for the Seaman’s International Mission Board for many years. A resident of Gurnee for the past few years, Arlene previously lived in Wonder Lake since 1967. She was a member of the Woodstock Bible Church. Arlene was very active in her church, and enjoyed singing in the choir and teaching the Toddler Sunday School class for 20 years with her husband. She also was active with the Cherry Valley 4-H Club. Enjoyments included sewing and cooking. She was an industrious homemaker, always caring for the needs of her family. A faithful wife, loving mother and grandmother, Arlene’s laugh and friendly attitude will be dearly missed by all her family and friends.
ad over and over again,” said David Berkowitz, vice president at digital marketing agency 360i. Although many advertisers tried to pull people in with lengthy story lines, there were a few that stuck with short, quirky spots with no particular plot. GoDaddy.com’s ad was one of them. It showed a close-up, extended kiss between supermodel Bar Refaeli and a nerdy guy wearing glasses to illustrate GoDaddy’s combo of “sexy” and “smart.” Some viewers thought the ad was too explicit for the Super Bowl. Stephanie Malone from DeKalb said, “GoDaddy should be ashamed.” Striking a less controversial note, Best Buy’s 30-second ad in the first quarter starred Amy Poehler, of NBC’s “Parks and Recreation,” asking a Best Buy employee endless questions about electronics. “Will this one read ‘50 Shades of Grey’ to me in a sexy voice?” Poehler asks about an e-book reader. Then, when the staffer says no, she asks, “Will you?”
Survivors include five sons and daughters, Jeanne (Joe) O’Boyle of Orland Park, Roger (Betty) Wright of Salem, Wis., Lyle (Debbie) Wright of Trevor, Wis., Neil (Bonnie) Wright of Gurnee and Cheryl (Ron) Barta of McHenry; 12 grandchildren, Jeffrey Wright, Nicholas (Tina) Wright, Trevor (Amanda) Rische, Travis Rische, Trent Rische, Amanda (Chris) Reinhard, Megan (Nick) Kucharski, Macie Wright, Monika Sankpal, Neilan Sankpal, Brandon Barta and Ryan Barta; two great-grandchildren, Kierra and Tessa; and brothers and sisters, Imogene Julson, Merton Dunham, Clinton Dunham and Charlene Frank. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Russell on July 31, 2008; a son, Kenneth Wright on July 27, 2001; and a sister, Meralyn Haferman. The visitation will be from 4 to 9 p.m. Monday, Feb. 4, at Justen Funeral Home & Crematory, 3700 W. Charles J. Miller Road, McHenry.

8BRIEFS Illinois man dies in Fla. hang gliding accident
Kerry calls abroad in first weekend on job
GROVELAND, Fla. – Authorities said an Illinois man has died in a hang gliding accident in central Florida. The Lake County Sheriff’s Office said 27-year-old Zachary James Marzec crashed Saturday on the runway at a small airport in Groveland. Investigators said it appears that Marzec’s hang glider malfunctioned, causing it to fall to the ground. Marzec was taken to a hospital, where he died about an hour after the crash. Authorities did not release his hometown.
WASHINGTON – New Secretary of State John Kerry reached out to Israeli and Palestinian leaders in phone calls this weekend, assuring them the Obama administration will continue to pursue a Mideast peace agreement while recognizing the individual concerns on both sides. Kerry told Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of his and President Barack Obama’s commitment to support Israel’s security and to pursue a lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Netanyahu updated Kerry on his work to form a new government.
Chicago police to change 911 response CHICAGO – Chicago authorities are revamping how police respond to 911 calls in hopes of freeing up more officers to respond to the most serious crimes. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that starting Sunday officers won’t respond in person to lesser crimes. Those include vehicle theft or incidents where the victim is safe and doesn’t need medical attention. The move is expected to make the equivalent of 44 police officers available.
‘Warm Bodies’ heats up box office with $20M NEW YORK – The love-struck zombies of “Warm Bodies” swarmed the box office on Super Bowl weekend with a $20 million opening. On a weekend that Hollywood largely punts to football, the PG-13 film from Lionsgate’s Summit Entertainment easily led the box office, according to studio estimates Sunday.

with Edward G. Dolezal, M.D. THE AMD-PREVENTION DIET Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss among olderAmericans; therefore, a lot of research is focused on preventing the disease, which gradually destroys sharp, central vision and is difficult at best to treat. According to the first-ever composite scoring system that rates foods with their effects on the risk of AMD, citrus fruits, leafy greens, and cold-water fatty fish (such as salmon) help protect against AMD. On the other hand, the review of dietary habits and risk of AMD among over 4,000 participants in the AgeRelated Eye Disease Study shows that consuming such highglycemic index foods as sweetened drinks, desserts, candies, potatoes, and white bread increases the risk of developing AMD. Macular degeneration is a deterioration or breakdown of the macua, a small area in the retina at the back of the eye that allows you to see fine details clearly and perform activities such as reading and driving. At CRYSTAL LAKE OPHTHALMOLOGY, we use the Amsler grid and other tests for early detection of macular degeneration and customize treatment plans to help patients manage the condition. Please call us at 815-455-4222 to schedule an eye health examination. Our practice is located at 280-A Memorial Court. P.S. Foods that were found to help protect against agerelated macular degeneration include vegetable oils, nuts and whole grains.

Boehner navigates rough stretch By CHARLES BABINGTON
Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, speaks to reporters Dec. 21 about the “fiscal cliff” negotiations at the Capitol in Washington.

Iraq veteran charged in fatal shooting of ex-SEAL The ASSOCIATED PRESS
STEPHENVILLE, Texas – A 25-year-old Iraq war veteran charged with murdering former Navy SEAL and “American Sniper” author Chris Kyle and his friend turned a gun onto the pair while they were at a Texas shooting range, authorities said Sunday. Eddie Ray Routh of Lancaster was arraigned early Sunday in the deaths of Kyle, 38, and Chad Littlefield, 35, at a shooting range at Rough Creek Lodge, about 50 miles southwest of Fort Worth. He was being held on one charge of capital murder and two charges of murder. Capt. Jason Upshaw with the Erath County Sheriff’s Of- Eddie Ray fice said Routh Routh was used a semiau- arraigned tomatic hand- early Sunday gun, which au- in the deaths thorities later of Chris Kyle f o u n d a t h i s and Chad home. Upshaw Littlefield. said ballistics tests weren’t complete Sunday, but authorities believe it was the gun used in the shootings. Upshaw declined to give any more details about the gun. Routh has not made any comments indicating what his motive may have been, Upshaw said. Sheriff Tommy Bryant said Routh was unemployed and “may have been suffering from some type of mental illness from being in the military himself.” “I don’t know that we’ll ever know. He’s the only one that knows that,” Upshaw said. Bryant didn’t know whether Routh was on any medication or whether the possible mental illness might be posttraumatic stress disorder. The U.S. military con-
firmed Sunday that Routh was a corporal in the Marines, serving in active duty from 2006 to 2010. He was deployed to Iraq in 2007 and Haiti in 2010. His current duty status is listed as reserve. Routh is being held on $3 million bond. Authorities did not know whether Routh had a lawyer yet. Kyle, a decorated veteran, wrote the best-selling book, “American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History,” detailing his 150-plus kills of insurgents from 1999 to 2009. Kyle said in his book that Iraqi insurgents had put a bounty on his head. According to promotional information from book publisher William Morrow, Kyle deployed to Iraq four times. Bryant said Kyle, Littlefield and Routh went to the shooting range around 3:15 p.m. Saturday. A hunting guide at Rough Creek Lodge came across the bodies of Kyle and Littlefield around 5 p.m. and called 911. Upshaw said autopsies were still pending and he could not say how many times the men were shot or where on their bodies they were hit. After the shootings, Routh left the shooting range in Kyle’s black pickup truck, Bryant said, first going to his sister’s home in Midlothian, where he told her and her husband what he had done. Routh left, Bryant said, and the couple called local police. Routh arrived at his home in Lancaster, about 17 miles southeast of Dallas, about 8 p.m. Police arrested him after a brief pursuit. Travis Cox, the director of a nonprofit Kyle helped found, told The Associated Press on Sunday that Kyle and Littlefield had taken Routh to the range. Littlefield was Kyle’s neighbor and “workout buddy,” Cox said.

WASHINGTON – House Speaker John Boehner has shored up his political clout after a shaky month, persuading his Republican caucus to pick its fights with Democrats more strategically. His impressive rebound, aided by face-the-facts confrontations with colleagues, helped the government avoid a potential default on its financial obligations – for three months, at least. It also reassured establishment Republicans who feared the House majority was becoming so unpredictable that it endangered the party. But the patched-up GOP solidarity and Boehner’s ability to pass bills without Democrats’ help are certain to be tested again. Surprising news this past week about a late-2012 economic slump might reenergize arguments over tax

increases and impending spending cuts. An even bigger challenge will be the immigration overhaul proposals headed toward Congress. The nation’s highest-ranking Republican, who recently confronted open talk of a possible overthrow, has calmed the waters remarkably, for now. December was a grim time for Boehner. Rank-and-file Republicans forced him to withdraw in embarrassment from White House negotiations over the much-feared “fiscal cliff,” the combination of deep spending cuts and
end-of-the year tax increases. January was worse. Boehner, R-Ohio, twice had to rely on Democrats to pass major bills, and he watched a dozen fellow Republicans refuse to back his re-election as speaker. Within days, however, he steadied his ship and persuaded his colleagues to go along with his plans to be more strategic and patient. The implications went beyond one politician’s fate. Financial markets and corporate planners were reassured when House Republicans agreed to postpone a show-
down over the government’s borrowing capacity. It marked a significant cooling off by GOP conservatives, many of whom had been saying President Barack Obama’s re-election meant little. Now they publicly were starting to accept the limits of minority party status in Washington. “We’re too outnumbered to govern, to make policy,” said Rep. John Fleming, R-La., who had defied Boehner on votes in January on the fiscal cliff and hurricane aid. “But we can make a serious impact on spending” by picking when and where to fight, Fleming said. Republicans say Boehner’s biggest breakthrough came at a two-day House GOP retreat in Virginia. With his restless caucus shut away from distractions, he lined up speakers from inside and outside Congress to help explain what he saw as fiscal and political realities.

Pensions, ethics to feature in state of the state speech By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press
CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn faces big expectations over how he’ll address Illinois’ disastrous finances when he delivers his State of the State speech this week, but he’s hinting he’ll also spend time reminding the public how the state’s image has been cleaned up under his watch. The annual speech is expected to set the tone for the year, touching on broad themes ahead of a later budget address on the nitty-gritty of running government. But this is the governor’s best chance to boast of accomplishments, and Quinn has yet to succeed at forging compromise on pension reform and other issues as he did with helping restore the
state’s reputation after his two predecessors went off to prison. Focusing on ethics more than finances could be tricky for Quinn, however. Illinois is staring down the worst pension problem in the nation, with nearly $100 billion in unfunded liability, and he’s on the spot to show progress as Republicans and some fellow Democrats begin eyeing his seat in next year’s governor’s race. “What I’d like to hear from him is real conviction to resolve serious financial problems,” said Rep. Barbara Wheeler, a Republican from Crystal Lake and one of the newcomers in the Legislature. “What I’m afraid is going to happen is more lip service toward the problem and more accolades toward what is perceived as successes
within the state.” When asked last week, Quinn wouldn’t reveal exactly what he’s going to say in his first major speech of the year Wednesday. But he told reporters it’s important to remember how scandal-free the state has been since 2009 when he was tapped as lieutenant governor to lead Illinois after the embarrassing corruption scandal that engulfed former Gov. Rod Blagojevich. “We had a very difficult time four years ago,” Quinn said on the day another former governor, George Ryan, was released from prison after serving more than five years for corruption. “My job was to straighten things out in Illinois, in every which way. ... I worked on that every single day the last four years. I’ll continue to do that as long as I have a breath.”
Bus overturns, multiple deaths The ASSOCIATED PRESS
YUCAIPA, Calif. – A tour bus overturned Sunday on a rural desert highway in Southern California, killing multiple people, a fire department spokesman said. San Bernardino County fire spokesman Eric Sherwin said the bus overturned about 6:30 p.m. Sunday night near the town of Forest Falls,
which is about 80 miles east of Los Angeles. Sherwin said 27 patients have been treated at the scene, but it is not clear how many have been killed. He said the injuries range from minor to life-threatening. The bus crashed on Highway 38. The San Bernardino Sun reported that at least seven ambulances were called to
the scene, and numerous calls began flooding the California Highway Patrol and San Bernardino County fire dispatch lines soon after the crash. Sherwin did not know where the bus was headed or coming from, but Highway 38 leads to Big Bear, a popular recreation area. Television cameras showed the bus lying on its side on the highway.
estranged from his family. Authorities say Jim Lee Dykes, 65 – a decorated Vietnam-era veteran known as Jimmy to neighbors – gunned down a school bus driver and abducted a 5-year-old boy from the bus, taking him to an underground bunker on his rural property. The driver, 66-year-old Charles Albert Poland Jr., was buried Sunday. Dykes, described as a loner who railed against the government, lives up a dirt road outside this tiny hamlet north of Dothan in the southeastern corner of the state. His home is just off the main road north to the state capital of Montgomery, about 80 miles away. The FBI said in a statement Sunday that authorities continue to have an open line of communication with Dykes.
urday night into the early hours of Sunday, according to French army Col. Thierry Burkhard. “It was an important aerial operation to the north of the town Kidal and in the Tessalit region where we targeted logistical depots and Islamist training camps ... some 20 sites,” Burkhard said. He said there were 30 planes used in the operation including Mirage and Rafale jets.
8BRIEFS Bill Clinton to speak at Ed Koch's funeral in NYC NEW YORK – Ed Koch is being remembered as the quintessential New Yorker – an admired but tough, colorful former mayor who will be honored at his funeral by former President Bill Clinton. At the service this morning at Manhattan’s Temple Emanu-El, mourners will also hear about Koch’s other fierce loyalty: Israel. The Israeli consul general is set to speak, along with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Koch was a friend of both Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton, and was helpful during her successful campaign for the U.S. Senate from New York, according to Koch spokesman George Arzt. Koch also backed Hillary Clinton in her presidential run. Bill Clinton will serve as a representative for President Barack Obama at the funeral. Koch died Friday of congestive heart failure at age 88.

Israel suggests being behind Syria airstrike MUNICH – Israel’s defense minister strongly signaled Sunday that his country was behind an airstrike in Syria last week, telling a high-profile security conference that Israeli threats to take pre-emptive action against its enemies are not empty. “We mean it,” Ehud Barak declared. Israel has not officially confirmed its planes attacked a site near Damascus, targeting ground-to-air missiles apparently heading for Lebanon, but its intentions have been beyond dispute. During the 22 months of civil war in Syria, Israeli leaders have repeatedly expressed concern that high-end weapons could fall into the hands of enemy Hezbollah, the powerful Lebanese militants.

Damisch commended her staff and teachers for maintaining the school’s tradition of high academic achievement in the face of changing demographics around Marengo. The school qualified this year as a Spotlight School because it went over the 50 percent poverty threshold for the first time. Locust Elementary has made adequate yearly progress for four consecutive years. The Illinois State Board of Education called the Spotlight School’s criteria rigorous, especially because schools have been facing more stringent federal achievement standards during the past five years.

Time needed to ‘cool off’ Former Illinois state Sen. John Millner spent his last day as a legislator on Jan. 9. A day later, he registered as a lobbyist and started working for two clients, the cable TV industry and an ambulance service. Millner, a Carol Stream Republican, isn’t alone. State Rep. Kent Gaffney, a Republican from Lake Barrington, gave up his House seat on Jan. 7 and now is working for a lobbying firm that has clients including Verizon, Apple, PNC Bank and Illinois State University. Over the years, several other legislators have moved from legislative offices to lobbying offices, sometimes within a few hours. According to a recent report by Springfield bureau chief Kurt Erickson, more than two dozen former legislators are trying to use their influence in the hallways and meeting rooms of the Capitol. Millner, Gaffney and others can be writing legislation one day and then selling their influence to an industry the next day because Illinois is one of 15 states that doesn’t have a “cooling off” period for legislators. Most states require former legislators to wait from six months to two years before they can begin working as a lobbyist. In Illinois, it’s a revolving door. Legislators can literally cast a vote to adjourn, register at the Secretary of State’s office, and begin representing clients within a few hours. State Sen. Darin LaHood, R-Dunlap, sponsored legislation last March that would have imposed a one-year lobbying ban on former members of the General Assembly. Democrats who control the General Assembly blocked the legislation, although it’s fair to say that jumping from the General Assembly to lobbying firms is a bipartisan activity. Illinois legislators are best known for taking care of themselves. If LaHood reintroduces his legislation, we doubt that it will be passed. Legislators once again will prove that their top interest is making sure that, a day after ending their lucrative legislative career, a lucrative lobbying career awaits them.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Mental illness stigma To the Editor: About 20 years ago, a radical feminist group in a small college posted a list of potential rapists. It included every man in the college! I am an old man who is nearing the end of a mostly happy life. Among its unhappy periods were three hospitalizations with paranoid delusions – nine months in 1966, three months in 1969, and two months in 2003. I can relate to the young men at that college. If I had to face some of the newly proposed laws about mental health privacy, I probably never would have voluntarily sought help for my symptoms, been involuntarily hospitalized every few years, and led a shorter, less happy life.

We have had many other sponsors throughout the years that have supported us as well. Most importantly, the community of McHenry continues to support this fun activity. Without all the volunteers (parents, school staff and family/friends) the tournament would never be able to succeed. I’m looking toward No. 18! Brian Schweitzer

We would like to thank the following sponsors: McHenry Special-
To the Editor: In his Jan. 9 letter, Robert Boyd directed some of his comments to me. He incorrectly indicated that I conceded that some weapons can be banned. I didn’t. I merely commented that the state of Illinois has banned the private possession of machine guns. The other 49 states allow the private ownership of machine guns in accordance with the National Firearms Act

(NFA). Illinois should, in my opinion, also allow ownership under NFA rules. It would be nice if people learned something about firearms before they commented on them. For instance, Mr. Boyd said that assault rifles are not machine guns. In fact, according to civil law, assault rifles are shoulder-fired machine guns. Other characteristics of assault rifles are that they tend to be fairly compact (carbine instead of rifle length) for easier use in urban fighting, for which they were first developed (during World War II), and fire a relatively low-powered round. For example, Germany’s StG44 fires a 7.92 x 33 round, smaller and weaker than the 7.92 x 57 round used in their rifles. The USSR’s AK47 fires a 7.62 x 39 round, smaller and weaker than the 7.62 x 54R used in their rifles. Our own M16, and its M4 variant, fires a 5.56 x 45 round, smaller and
weaker than the 7.62 x 51 round used in our M14. Patrick Donlea Crystal Lake
Best interests
To the Editor: In a time when so many acknowledge the need to encourage the next generation to run for political office and the imperative of term limits, Rob Parrish’s candidacy for Nunda Township highway commissioner gives us opportunity to put those principles into action. Rob clearly has the job experience to discharge the responsibilities of the position. Add to that the fine character that his mom and dad, Rita and Bud, have instilled in him and his long-term commitment to our community, and it seems clear that a vote for Rob is in all of our best interests.

Washington only unanimous presidential choice On this day (Feb. 4) in 1789, George Washington was unanimously elected president of the United States in the Electoral College. Notably “The Indispensable” Virginian was elected the country’s chief executive again, in 1792, by every one of the 132 electors who cast votes that year, thus becoming the only U.S. president (of the 43) to have ever been elected unanimously. Interestingly, even when James Monroe ran unopposed for president in 1820, he received only 231 of the 235 electoral votes cast (there were three abstentions and William Plummer of New Hampshire voted for John Quincy Adams), thus reserving for the “Father of His Country” the singular distinction of receiving a unanimous electoral vote. The Electoral College is surely the most unusual and convoluted method of selecting a chief executive. Established by Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution, it reads: “Each state shall appoint in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress.” Not intended to be at all democratic, it established a system (especially, at least, for the first 10 or 11 elections) for electors (the elite) to cast votes for two different individuals without specifying whether their votes were for president or vice president. This method of voting was changed to the
8THE FIRST AMENDMENT
ON THIS DAY Joseph C. Morton present system by the passage of the 12th Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1804. The individual receiving the highest number of electoral votes was elected president and the second highest vice president. Thus, on this day in 1789, Washington received one electoral vote from each of the 69 electors, who scattered their second votes with John Adams (with 34 electoral votes) becoming the first U.S. vice president. As originally drafted, the Electoral College was a compromise between election by the national legislature and election by the popular vote of the people. Clearly, the framers feared “mobocracy” (i.e., election by what they considered an indifferent or uninformed citizenry), but at the same time wanted to avoid legislative election, which they thought would violate the separation of powers between the three branches of government. The compromise is what prevailed most notably until 1828, with electors (presumably the wiser, more knowledgeable local politicians) actually selecting the nation’s leaders. Beginning with the controversial
election of 1824 and intensified in 1828, the votes of the populous slowly became significant in the selection of electors. To date, there have been 57 presidential elections, of which 53 have, despite the Framers obvious aversion to establishing a truly “democratic” system, been relatively democratic in that those elected did in fact receive (after 1824, when popular votes were officially recorded) a majority or at least a plurality of the popular votes of the American voters. The four presidential elections where the electoral winners received fewer popular votes than the losers were: 1824, John Quincy Adams over Andrew Jackson; 1876, Rutherford B. Hayes over Samuel Tilden; 1888, Benjamin Harrison over Grover Cleveland; and 2000, George W. Bush over Al Gore. There has been, ever since the early 19th century, numerous attempts to establish a more democratic system of choosing a president and vice president than the Electoral College, but the proposals never have been able to garner the necessary two-thirds votes in Congress needed to start the amendment process, as mandated in Article V (the amendment article) of the U.S. Constitution.

SHOCK ABSORBED SUPER BOWL XLVII
BALTIMORE 34 SAN FRANCISCO 31

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jacoby Jones catches a 56-yard touchdown pass during the first half of the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in New Orleans. Jones also returned a kickoff 108 yards for a touchdown at the start of the third quarter. Baltimore won, 34-31.
Flacco wins MVP honor
Ravens survive surging 49ers By KENT BABB Washington Post
NEW ORLEANS – When the lights came back to the Superdome, America’s biggest sporting event had changed. This was the story line that no one predicted, a dose of unexpected drama that no one wanted. Super Bowl XLVII stopped for nearly 35 minutes because of a power outage, and while the Baltimore Ravens tried to protect an enormous lead, the San Francisco 49ers somehow were recharged. No, the lasting memory from this game will not be that John Harbaugh defeated his younger brother, Jim, or

that Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis ended his career with a championship. It’ll be that Baltimore survived an unexplainable collapse – defeating the 49ers, 34-31 – by leaning on its most dependable presence, quarterback Joe Flacco. “We don’t make anything easy,” said Flacco, who was named the Super Bowl’s most valuable player after his 287-
yard passing performance. Let it be said now – and more than that embraced – that Flacco is one of the game’s best. He was, anyway, during these playoffs – the most challenging and legacydefining period in a player’s career. This wasn’t a showcase game of a fifth-year player who simply rode his team’s wave to the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Flacco improved his mechanics and response to pressure, and he was at his best during the postseason. Eleven touchdowns this postseasons and zero interceptions.

NEW ORLEANS – Quarterback Joe Flacco put off contract talks with the Baltimore Ravens until after the season was done. Seems like a pretty good decision at the moment, huh? Capping a perfect postseason, the unassuming and unheralded Flacco completed 22 of 33 passes for 287 yards and three first-half touchdowns Sunday, earning Super Bowl MVP honors for leading the Ravens to a 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

Vonn to be protected by bodyguards at ski worlds
SCHLADMING, Austria – With media attention on her personal life intensifying and about 400,000 fans expected, Lindsey Vonn will be surrounded by bodyguards at the Alpine skiing world championships starting Tuesday. Vonn says that her sponsor, Red Bull, “has kindly hired security for me just to make sure I can get in and out and not have any difficulty. But I don’t expect there to be any problems, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.” Gossip sites have been filled with reports over a supposed relationship between Vonn and Tiger Woods, and Vonn was asked by a local TV reporter whether the golfer would be coming to watch her ski. Vonn replied, “Oh my God! I don’t know. You should ask him. ... I have no idea. I have no idea.”

GEMS Levels 8, 9 take 2nd at invite TheTrinityGEMSLevels 8 and 9 gymnastics teams both placed second at the New Orleans Jass Invitational from Jan. 16 to 21 at the New Orleans Convention Center. Ashley Resch won the AllAroundfortheGEMSinthe Level 8 10- to 12-year-old division with a 36.625 score. Resch also won the uneven parallel bars (9.250) and floor exercise (9.250), was second in vault (9.050) and fourth in balance beam (9.075). “She went down and dominatedthatmeet,”GEMScoach Chris Riegel said. Resch was competing in just her third Level 8 meet. ShestartedtrainingatGEMS in Lake in the Hills in late summer as a Level 6. Riegel said it was clear that Resch had the talent and ability to
move up. “It took me a week or two to realize [Resch] could do Level 7,” Riegel said. “As soon as I saw her athleticism the objective became to do one Level 7 [meet] and go right to Level 8.” The progression was quick as Resch placed second in her second meet as a Level 8 “I saw it in the gym,” Riegel said. “I saw the potential starting to gel as soon as she got a little more experience.” The move up in levels is a huge jump for gymnasts because optional levels start at Level 7. Optional gives the gymnast and coach the ability to choose routines and music suited to gymnast’s style, skill and ability. Levels 1 through 6 are compulsory levels where competitors all do the same routine.
“It’s a completely different world,” Riegel said. “[Resch is] definitely a star in the making.” Resch’s success is even more remarkable given her diminutive size. “People look at her on the floor and just start giggling,” Riegel said. “We could not be happier. She became a little star down there.” AlsoinLevel8,Mackenzie Goad won the balance beam (9.075) and was fourth in the all-around (35.450), Reagan Gnewuch was third in the floor exercise (9.050) and Katy Cash was fifth in the uneven parallel bars. Riegel said it won’t be long before this quartet of Level 8’s will be competing at the highest level. “I couldn’t believe how
they performed,” Riegel said. “By the time they’re 12, 13, 14 years old, they’ll be Level 10’s.” For the Level 9, 11 and 12 division, Katarina Schmid won the vault (8.950), was second in the floor exercise (8.050), third in the uneven parallel bars (8.650) and fourth in the balance beam (7.900) for a second place all-around finish with a 33.550 score. Leayla Liebich won the uneven bars (8.875) and third in the balance beam (8.100) to finish fourth in the all-around (16.975). Liebich did not compete in the vault or floor events. Alexa Schyvinck won the balance beam (8.600) in the Level 9, 13 and 14 division, was second in the vault (9.150) and floor exercise (8.875) and fifth in the uneven bars (7.500) to
Women’s baseball star, movie inspiration Davis dies
LOS ANGELES – Lavonne “Pepper” Paire-Davis, a star of the All American Girls Professional Baseball League in the 1940s and an inspiration for the movie “A League of Their Own,” has died. She was 88. Her son William Davis told The Associated Press that PaireDavis died of natural causes Saturday in Los Angeles. Paire-Davis was a model for the character played by Geena Davis and served as a consultant on the 1992 film. In 1944, she joined the women’s baseball league, created in fear that World War II would interrupt Major League Baseball, and played for 10 seasons. She was a catcher and shortstop, and helped her teams win five championships. She chronicled her baseball adventures in the 2009 book “Dirt in the Skirt.”

Texas regents mull coaches’ conduct with students
AUSTIN, Texas – University of Texas regents Sunday discussed but took no action regarding recently disclosed cases of coaches’ inappropriate relationships with students. The regents held a special meeting by phone that was not open to the public and included only members of the regents, their legal staff and system Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa. The chancellor declined immediate comment when the more than two-hour call ended. The regents scheduled the rare Sunday meeting Friday after they learned that football offensive coordinator Major Applewhite had been disciplined by the school in 2009 for his conduct with a student during the Longhorns’ trip to the Fiesta Bowl. The revelation about Applewhite came almost a month after women’s track coach Bev Kearney resigned while under investigation for a 2002 relationship with an athlete in her program. Texas officials have said they were in the process of firing her. In both cases, the university said the relationships between coaches and students were consensual. But Kearney’s lawyer, Derek Howard, has suggested the track coach was treated unfairly and may sue the university. Howard did not immediately respond to an email message.

The Sox’s A.J. Pierzynski watches his home run off Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Rick Porcello during the sixth inning Sept. 12 at U.S. Cellular Field. Pierzynski now is with the Texas Rangers. The Sox are looking to replace both Pierzynski’s offense and his intangibles.
Replacing A.J. Pierzynski Position requires producing on offense, intangibles SOX INSIDER Meghan Montemurro CHICAGO – Replacing veteran catcher A.J. Pierzynski on the field is statistically quantifiable for the White Sox. General manager Rick Hahn in particular took a calculated risk in choosing to let Pierzynski, 36, leave via free agency, entrusting the starting job to a somewhat unproven Tyler Flowers. Somehow, whether it’s Flowers or a combination of the Sox’s hitters, the Sox will find a way to replace Pierzynski’s offensive production last season (27 home runs, 77 RBIs and 133 hits). “All the guys from the ’05 [World Series title] team hold a special place in our heart,” Hahn said. “ … All those guys will always have a special spot for each of us, not to mention a guy like A.J. who was with us for eight years and had a tremendous amount of success.” Where it becomes murky for the Sox in replacing Pierzynski is his role as an on-field instigator. Pierzynski has a knack for agitating opponents and certainly has never been afraid to voice any opinions to umpires while behind the plate. That, more than anything, will be a tougher void to fill for the Sox. “It already is weird being here without A.J.,” first baseman Paul Konerko said. “Usually by now he’s wearing you out about something. I talked to him [Jan. 11 and 12] and he was at Rangers Fest. Not the same ring. It will be odd not having him.” Pierzynski always held the respect of his Sox teammates on the field, not only for the numbers he put up yearover-year, despite the grind of catching almost every day, but his willingness to speak up and defend against any perceived slight. “He’s elite, he’s one of the best and he’s done it for a long time,” pitcher Chris Sale said. “I was very fortunate to be able to, at such an early stage of my career, to link up with a backstop like

Beckham acknowledged during SoxFest two weeks ago that will be the hardest thing to replicate after Pierzynski’s departure, because it’s an innate attribute and few, if any of the Sox have personalities that lend themselves to being an on-field agitator. “No, I don’t think anyone can play like A.J.,” Beckham said. “A.J.’s one of kind, and that’s kind of what he does. He pushes buttons. … There’s a bunch of guys that aren’t like that. That’s good and bad, but I want to say it’s good. There’s not a focus on any other stuff.
It’s all on winning.” Of course, Pierzynski’s on-field persona didn’t exactly go away once in the clubhouse and while no Sox player would openly admit it, his personality worn thin on some of his teammates. Although his actions off the field won’t be missed, it’s hard to deny that Pierzynski’s unique style will be extremely difficult to replicate. “I don’t think anybody is worried about filling his shoes off the field,” Beckham said with a smile.

CARY – Cary-Grove’s Kyle Norberg mentioned before the weekend his choice of a college to play football might be a “gametime decision.” Norberg hoped to make it Sunday, but as of Sunday night, his mother Renee said he had not yet decided between North Dakota or Iowa. Norberg (6-foot-1, 215 pounds) had North Dakota, an NCAA Division I school that plays in the Football Championship Subdivision, a soft commitment. He visited Iowa over the weekend and hoped that Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz might make an offer. It could be a case of Iowa waiting for other recruits until Wednesday, the first day of the signing period for football, to see if a Kyle Norberg scholarship was available. Iowa’s coaches had told Norberg he could have a spot as a preferred walkon. If Iowa did not make a scholarship offer, Norberg indicated he would accept North Dakota’s offer and sign Wednesday with the Fighting Sioux. Norberg was a threeyear starter at linebacker for C-G and also started at fullback as a senior. Norberg rushed for 2,218 yards and 27 touchdowns and was a Northwest Herald All-Area first-team selection. He was a vital part for the Trojans, who finished 13-1 and lost in the IHSA Class 6A state championship game toCrete-Monee,33-26. North Dakota recruited Norberg as a linebacker, while Iowa was considering him as a fullback. North Dakota’s coaches held a scholarship for Norberg, aware that he was still looking at Iowa. “[North Dakota coaches] have been really cool about it,” Norberg said. “We’ve built a relationship, I’ve been honest with them and they’ve been honest with me. They kept a scholarship for me, but they told me they may need a decision sooner.”

NEW ORLEANS – The Super Bowl was delayed because of a power outage Sunday, plunging parts of the Superdome into darkness and leading to a 34-minute delay in the biggest game of the year. The Baltimore Ravens were leading the San Francisco 49ers, 28-6, when most of the lights in the 73,000seat building went out with 13:22 left in the third quarter. Auxiliary power kept the playing field from going totally dark, but escalators stopped working and the concourses were only illuminated by small banks of lights tied in to emergency service. Philip Allison, a spokesman for Entergy New Orleans, which provides power to the stadium, said power had been flowing into the stadium before the lights failed. “All of our distribution and transmission feeds going into the Superdome were operating as expected,” Allison said. He said the outage appeared to originate in a failure of equipment maintained by stadium staff. It occurred shortly after Beyonce put on a 12-minute halftime show that featured extravagant lighting and video effects. On the CBS broadcast, the playby-play announcers went silent. CBS sideline reporter Steve Tasker announced the problem of a “click of the lights” to viewers. Later, the halftime crew anchored by host James Brown returned to fill the time with football analysis. Brown

Fans and members of the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers wait for power to return in the Superdome during an outage in the second half Sunday of the Super Bowl Sunday in New Orleans. said a power surge caused the outage. “We lost all power up here at the press box level,” play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz said after power was restored. He and announcer Phil Simms were off the air for most of the 34-minute outage. The failure occurred shortly after Jacoby Jones returned the opening kickoff of the second half for a 108yard touchdown, the longest play in Super Bowl history and pushing the Ravens to a commanding lead. But when play resumed, the momentum totally changed. The Niners scored two straight touchdowns and kicked a field goal to close the gap to 28-23 by the end of the third quarter.
The public address announcer said the Superdome was experiencing an interruption of electrical service and encouraged fans to stay in their seats. Some fans did the wave to pass the time. Players milled around on the sidelines, some took a seat on the bench, others on the field. A few of the Ravens threw footballs around. Officials gathered on the field and appeared to be talking to stadium personnel. Finally, the lights came back on throughout the dome and the game resumed. “Let’s go!” referee Jerome Boger said to the teams. The NFL said stadium officials were investigating the cause, but there was no immediate word of why the power went out.
“We sincerely apologize for the incident,” Superdome spokesman Eric Eagan said. He told The Associated Press that Superdome technical staff were working more than hour after the outage to determine what caused it, but still didn’t know. The outage provided a major glitch to what has largely been viewed as a smooth week for New Orleans, which was hosting its first Super Bowl since 2002 and was eager to show off how the city has rebuilt since Hurricane Katrina. Monique Richard, who is from the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, had tickets in the upper deck. “My exact words on the way over here were, ‘I hope this goes off without a hitch,’ because the city just looked so good, they were doing so well, the weather so good everything was kind of falling into place,” she said. “We haven’t had the Super Bowl in 11 years. It might be 20 more. Hopefully, everybody will be understanding.” New Orleans was once a regular in the Super Bowl rotation and hopes to regain that status. Earlier in the week, the host committee announced it will bid on the 2018 Super Bowl, which would coincide with the 300th anniversary of the city’s founding. The 38-year-old Superdome has undergone $336 million in renovations since Katrina ripped its roof in 2005. Billions have been spent sprucing up downtown, the airport, French Quarter and other areas of the city in the past seven years.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (left) and linebacker Ray Lewis celebrate after defeating the San Francisco 49ers, 34-31, in Super Bowl on Sunday in New Orleans.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick celebrates his touchdown against the Baltimore Ravens during the second half of Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday in New Orleans.
The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS – Colin Kaepernick got tripped up and tossed down, then still nearly led the greatest Super Bowl comeback in just his 10th career NFL start. Rarely rattled on an impressive path to the Super Bowl, San Francisco’s second-year quarterback finally showed some inexperience on football’s big stage. Not to mention some guts. After a remarkable postseason run – with those speedy legs – by the tattooed play-caller, the Baltimore Ravens exposed plenty of flaws in
handing Kaepernick and Co. a 34-31 loss Sunday despite San Francisco’s second-half rally. No team has come from more than 10 points down to win a Super Bowl, and Kaepernick had a chance to make it happen less than three months after becoming San Francisco’s starter. He regrouped during a 34-minute delay early in the third quarter because of a power outage, finding his groove and turning the Super Bowl into a wild game down the stretch – and gave yet more cred to the pistol offense designed by his old college coach that is so well
suited for the NFL’s young, mobile quarterbacks. Kaepernick directed four secondhalf scoring drives, throwing a 31yard touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree and also running 15 yards for a TD. But the 49ers missed the two-point conversion that would have tied the game with less than 10 minutes left. Crabtree didn’t get much help in a mistake-filled first half by San Francisco (13-5-1), which failed to stop Joe Flacco and deliver the franchise’s sixth championship that would have matched the Pittsburgh Steelers for most ever.
Flacco earns praise from Baltimore teammate • SURVIVE
Continued from page B1 The only other quarterbacks to pass for that many touchdowns in a single postseason were Joe Montana and Kurt Warner. Still, Flacco didn’t do this alone, but he became the face of the team that’s now the face of the NFL. Bal-
timore’s defense is still considered among the league’s most formidable units, and running back Ray Rice shook off a second-half fumble to help his team protect a lead that was dissolving by the minute. Flacco is his team’s most recognizable survivor, and this is true now of his career “Joe has been so huge for us all year and especially the post-
season,” Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta said. “Nobody deserves this more than him in this organization.” In this game, Flacco watched as San Francisco’s second-year quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, sidestepped his own stress and shortcomings, pushing his team to a remarkable comeback that’ll be discussed for years.
Flacco throws for 3 touchdowns in first half • MVP
Continued from page B1 Setting aside any questions about just how good he is and where he belongs in the conversation about the league’s best quarterbacks, Flacco became only the sixth in 47 Super Bowls to throw for three scores in a first half, connecting with Anquan Boldin for 13 yards, Dennis Pitta for 1, and Jacoby Jones for 56.
And the admittedly mild-mannered guy, who played his college football far from the spotlight at Delaware, wrapped up Baltimore’s fourgame run to the title with 11 TD passes and zero interceptions. It was an impressive streak that included road victories against two of the game’s best QBs, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. Flacco’s job in the second half Sunday was more about being safe than spectacular. He had helped Baltimore
take a 21-6 halftime lead, and it grew to 28-6 when Jones returned the secondhalf kickoff a Super Bowl-record 108 yards. “I tell you what: We don’t make it easy,” Flacco said. “But that’s the way the city of Baltimore is. That’s the way we are.” His contract is up now. And he could wind up with one of the biggest deals in NFL history, perhaps commanding somewhere in the neighborhood of $20 million a year.
By DAVID GINSBURG The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS – Ray Lewis will ride into retirement as a champion. Baltimore’s standout middle linebacker began his final night on the football field with a motivational speech to his teammates. He ended it looking upward into a shower of silver streamers and purple confetti after the Ravens beat the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 Sunday night to win the Super Bowl. Standing tall in the middle of a defense that survived a frenzied comeback by Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers, Lewis put a lovely bow on his 17th NFL season by earning his second Super Bowl ring – 12 years after the first. When Lewis first led Baltimore to Super Bowl glory, he was a 25-yearold at the height of his game. A terror in the middle of the best defense in the league, Lewis was voted MVP after the Ravens beat the New York Giants 34-7 to earn their first world championship. On Sunday night, Lewis and his defense played a supporting role to Joe Flacco and the offense. The 37-year-old Lewis had only two solo tackles through the first three quarters and sometimes struggled to cover receivers venturing into his area. Wide receiver Michael Crabtree caught a 19-yarder on San Francisco’s second series, and tight end Vernon Davis eluded Lewis twice before making second-quarter catches. Lewis did, however, made two tackles during the 49ers’ final drive. San Francisco had a fourth-and-goal from 5 when Lewis charged in on a blitz. He didn’t get to Kaepernick, but the quarterback’s pass sailed out of the end zone. After amassing a team-high 44 tackles in Baltimore’s first three playoff wins, Lewis was anything but exceptional against the 49ers.

COMMENTARY
For Northern Illinois, four points to build on By JOHN FEINSTEIN Special to the Washington Post
The bus ride from Ypsilanti, Mich., to DeKalb, takes about five hours. For a basketball coach, the best way to spend the ride home – especially after a loss – is to make full use of today’s technology and go through game footage. Mark Montgomery just couldn’t do it. It was just too soon, the feelings were a little too raw. So, like his assistant coaches and his players, he sat in silence trying very hard to not think about what had just happened. This was nine days ago. That afternoon, his Northern Illinois men’s basketball team had played Eastern Michigan. Montgomery, in his second season as the Huskies’ coach after spending 10 years working for Tom Izzo at Michigan State, had gone into the game feeling about as good as he had felt since taking the NIU job. The Huskies were coming off a win at Central Michigan, and Montgomery was looking forward to playing another
game in his home state – about 20 miles, to be exact, from Inkster, his home town. And then it all went wrong. The final score – Eastern Michigan 42, Northern Illinois 25 – was bad. But it only told a small part of the story. The Huskies led, 2-0, after Abdel Nader scored on a fastbreak layup one minute in. That was their last field goal of the half. Their offense for the next 19 minutes consisted of two made free throws. Remarkably, they only trailed 18-4 at halftime. “That was the funny thing about it,” Montgomery said. “We did a lot of good things in the game. We got more shots than they did, we killed them on the offensive glass [23-7], we had fewer turnovers. We just could not get a shot to go in. It didn’t matter where we shot from, the ball just wasn’t going to go in.” The four points NIU scored in the first half set an NCAA record for fewest points in a half since the shot-clock era began in 1985. Unfortunately, the previous record (five points)
More online For all your Northern Illinois University sports coverage – including stories, features, scores, photos, videos, blogs and much more – log on to HuskieWire.com. had been set just eight weeks earlier – by NIU in a game at Dayton. “We are definitely a team that lives on making shots from the perimeter,” Montgomery said. “Or dies on missing them. When we die, we really die.” When he left the security of Izzo’s program after being a part of three Final Four teams, Montgomery knew there would be tough days as he rebuilt the NIU program. But not days like this. The Huskies were 5-26 a year ago. Since 1973, they have had eight coaches; only one, Jim Molinari, left with a winning record. That was 22 years ago. This year’s team has seven freshmen, three sophomores and two juniors. “Before I took the job, Coach
Izzo told me it would be the third or fourth year before I’d be judged and before I could really hope to see progress in the won-lost record,” Montgomery said. He laughed. “After the game at EMU, he called me, because that’s when your best friends call, and he said, ‘I told you: third or fourth year, don’t forget that.’ I told him I remembered but this one was like a punch in the face.” Montgomery knew his players were hurting. He gave them the day off Sunday the way he normally does and came into his office to force himself to look at the tape. That was when he began to see some light at the end of the four-points-in-20minute tunnel. “I looked up early in the afternoon and I saw the entire team had come in on their own to shoot,” he said. “They weren’t required to do anything all day and they had organized themselves to get in and shoot. That told me that I really didn’t need to give them any kind of a speech on Monday. They had figured it out themselves.”
The next day, Montgomery told his players what he had seen on tape. “You outplayed them,” he said. “I can’t ask you to play harder than you did. We just need some shots to go in.” They actually got to nine in less than three minutes Wednesday against Kent State, beginning the game on a 9-0 run. All of a sudden, the boulder that had been sitting on everyone’s chest since the weekend was gone. “You know the old saying: Shooting is contagious – both ways,” Montgomery said. “Once we made a few shots in the game, we were able to start being the team I’ve believed we can be.” The Huskies led most of the night and looked as if they were going to cruise to a win. But being capable of winning is one step, finishing off wins is another. Up nine in the final three minutes, they tightened and Kent State pulled even at 65 with less than 30 seconds to go. And so, after shooting effectively most of the night – 7 of 13 from 3-point range – NIU needed to make one more shot in order to go home happy.
The ball swung to Nader, the team’s leading scorer. He went up to shoot with 2.2 seconds left and – just like in the movies – the shot swished. Four days after hitting bottom, NIU celebrated. “I heard a lot after the game at Eastern Michigan that people thought I might have lost the team because the numbers were so brutal,” Montgomery said. “Those kids proved who they are, not only with the way we played the game, but with the way we prepared for the game. Montgomery knows there is still a long way to go, as the Huskies are just 5-15 after Saturday’s 69-64 loss to Toledo. But four days after the miserable bus ride home at the end of a nightmarish afternoon, he could walk out into a cold winter night with a smile on his face.

The Badgers (15-7, 6-3 Big Ten) shot less than 30 percent for most of the first half and combined with the Illini to score 14 points in the game’s first eight minutes. Wisconsin eventually started making shots and Illinois (15-8, 2-7) didn’t until it was too late. The Illini closed the gap late but trailed by 15 with 5:13 to play.

James scores 30 as Heat defeat Toronto The ASSOCIATED PRESS
TORONTO – LeBron James scored 30 points, Chris Bosh had 28 against his former team and the Miami Heat beat Toronto 100-85 Sunday for their 10th straight victory over the Raptors. Dwyane Wade added 23 points as the Heat bounced back after Friday’s 102-89 loss at Indiana, ensuring that coach Erik Spolestra will coach the Eastern Conference All-Stars. “We’re happy to go, we’re excited about it,” Spoelstra said. “You don’t spend any time thinking about it as it’s happening, you’re just trying to prepare your team and make sure you have the best record. Now that it happened, it’s cool. We’ll make the most of it. Our staff is thrilled about it. Our players gave us congratulations afterward. That’s about as rare a thing as you’ll ever get in this league.” The Heat clinched the best record in the East through Feb. 3 with the win. Had Miami lost, New York Knicks coach Mike Woodson would have been in charge of the East’s bench. Rudy Gay led the Raptors with 29 points and DeMar DeRozan had 27. Kyle Lowry scored 10 points and Aaron Gray had 12 rebounds for the Raptors, who have lost four of five. James finished with team highs of eight rebounds and seven assists, and Bosh scored 13 in the fourth quarter for Miami, which improved to 12-11 on the road. Celtics 106, Clippers 104: At
Boston, Paul Pierce scored 22 points and Boston held off a late comeback to beat Los Angeles and improve to 4-0 since losing Rajon Rondo for the season to a torn knee ligament. The Clippers had pulled to 103-101 on a 3-pointer by Eric Bledsoe with 56 seconds remaining. But Avery Bradley drew an offensive foul on Los Angeles’ Jamal Crawford with 26 seconds to go, and Pierce held on to the ball before making a 3-pointer with 2.5 seconds left to clinch the win. Jeff Green and Leandro Barbosa scored 14 points each for the Celtics. The Clippers were led by Bledsoe, replacing injured guard Chris Paul, and Crawford, who made a 3-pointer at the buzzer, with 23 points each. Lakers 98, Pistons 97: At Auburn Hills, Mich., Pau Gasol had 23 points and 10 rebounds, and he contested Detroit’s last-second alley-oop attempt to help Los Angeles hold on for the win. The Lakers blew an 18-point third-quarter lead but went back ahead for good on Kobe Bryant’s driving three-point play with 1:09 remaining. That gave the Lakers a 98-95 lead, and they held on despite missing four free throws in the final 16.8 seconds. Bryant scored 18 points for the Lakers, who have won five of six, including their last two games without Dwight Howard. The All-Star center has been out with a right shoulder problem. Greg Monroe had 20 points for Detroit and Will Bynum had 18 points and 10 assists.
in sixth place in the Big Ten. Illinois was led by Joseph Bertrand’s 17 points. Four other Illini scored in double figures. The Illini have lost seven of nine and have fallen to 10th in the conference.
No. 23 Minnesota 62, Iowa 59: At Minneapolis, Iowa was in position for a big win on the road against a ranked team, a border-state rival no less. But the Hawkeyes stumbled again in the end, and coach Fran McCaffrey was seething after the late collapse. Austin Hollins hit a goahead 3-pointer with 11.6 seconds left, lifting No. 23 Minnesota to a victory over Iowa. “We blew an opportunity today,” McCaffrey said, lamenting the free-throw shooting (10 for 17) and critical turnovers and soft defense in the closing seconds. Hollins finished with 17
points to help the Gophers (175, 5-4 Big Ten) survive a rough second half and escape the scrappy Hawkeyes (14-8, 3-6).
No. 12 Louisville 70, No. 25 Marquette 51: At Louisville,
Ky., Russ Smith scored 18 points, Peyton Siva added 14 and No. 12 Louisville shot 52 percent to run away from No. 25 Marquette. The lopsided outcome was somewhat surprising considering what was at stake for both teams in the Big East. Marquette (15-5, 6-2) had an opportunity to take a onegame lead on Syracuse, but the Golden Eagles were left settling for a first-place tie with the Orange. The Cardinals (18-4, 6-3), meanwhile, moved a halfgame closer to both schools with their second straight win, remaining in a four-way tie for third.

Phoenix rises for Mickelson Lefty finishes with 28-under-par 256, two strokes off the PGA Tour record By JOHN NICHOLSON The Associated Press
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Phil Mickelson completed a wireto-wire victory in the Phoenix Open, again flirting with history in a dominating run at TPC Scottsdale. Mickelson shot a 4-underpar 67 Sunday to finish at 28-under 256, two strokes off the PGA Tour record of 254 set by Tommy Armour III in the 2003 Texas Open. “It’s an important one for me, because it’s been a while since I won, been a while since I’ve been in contention,” Mickelson said. “I was certainly nervous heading into today.
I think the thing I’m most excited about was the way I was able to regain control of my thoughts after a few shots early on that I didn’t care for.” Mickelson missed a chance for a 59 in the first round when his 25-foot birdie putt on the final hole caught the right edge of the cup, curled 180 degrees and stayed out. He settled for a 60 and followed with rounds of 65 and 64 to take a six-stroke lead into the final round. Mickelson won after struggling the past two weeks in his season-opening events – tying for 37th at La Quinta and 51st at Torrey Pines – and creating some headlines by talking about tax increases. He now
heads to Pebble Beach for his title defense. “I think that sets up the tone for the rest of the year, because I really started to play well,” Mickelson said. “But for me, the rest of the year took a turn on Tuesday when I got my new driver. It just changed my whole deal.” Brandt Snedeker finished second, four strokes back after a 65. “Sometimes you have to tip your hat and say, ‘Phil played unbelievable and deserved to win,’ ” Snedeker said. “That’s kind of what this week was all about.” Mickelson took a threestroke lead to the 17th tee, and

Kunitz gets hat trick in Pens’ win The ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON – Chris Kunitz scored a hat trick in the Pittsburgh Penguins’ Super Bowl on Sunday visit to the nation’s capital, leading a 6-3 win over the Washington Capitals that reflected both teams’ fortunes so far in the lockout-shortened season. Kris Letang, Paul Martin and Matt Cooke also scored, Sidney Crosby had three assists, and Tomas Vokoun made 21 saves against his former team for the Penguins (6-3), who have won three straight and four of five to lead the Atlantic Division. Mike Green, Carlson and Mike Ribeiro scored for the Capitals – and Carlson’s goal was an accident that took a weird carom off a stanchion along the glass. Two-time league MVP Alex Ovechkin, who said before the game that he was somewhat embarrassed to have only three points on the season, contributed a secondary assist on a third-period power-play goal with Washington (2-6-1)
trailing by three.
Panthers 4, Sabres 3: At Buffalo, N.Y., defenseman Brian Campbell scored on the power play with 10:33 remaining to cap Florida’s three-goal rally and the Panthers beat Buffalo. Peter Mueller, George Parros and Shawn Matthias also scored for the Panthers, who won their first road game of the season and snapped a seven-game road winless drought (0-5-2) dating to last season. Florida (3-5) rallied from a 3-1 deficit to win two straight since enduring a five-game skid. Thomas Vanek and Cody Hodgson had a goal and an assist each, and Alexander Sulzer also scored for Buffalo, which dropped to 1-5-1 since opening the season with two wins. Devils 2, Islanders 0: At Uniondale, N.Y., Johan Hedberg made 22 saves for his 22nd career shutout, leading New Jersey to a win over New York. Steve Bernier scored for New Jersey in the third period and David Clarkson added an empty-netter to help the Devils snap a four-game winless
streak (0-1-3). New York (4-3-1) outshot the Devils 10-7 in a high-tempo first period, while New Jersey (4-1-3) implemented its trademark defensive system in the second. Hedberg’s biggest save came 8:08 into the third period when he stoned the Islanders right wing Michael Grabner on a short-handed breakaway with the game scoreless. Canadiens 2, Senators 1: At Montreal, David Desharnais and Erik Cole scored first-period goals and Montreal held on for a victory over Ottawa. The win completed a sweep of weekend matinees at home for Montreal (6-2-0) after a 6-1 win Saturday over the Buffalo Sabres. The Canadiens have won five straight at home after dropping their home opener to Toronto on Jan. 19. Jakob Silfverberg scored for Ottawa (5-3-1), which was coming off a 1-0 loss at Carolina on Friday night. Senators goalie Craig Anderson has not conceded a goal after the first period in eight games this season.
nearly drove into the left-side water on the drivable par 4, his ball stopping a yard short of the hazard. He hit his 25-yard second shot 15 feet past the hole and made the birdie putt. Mickelson parred the par4 18th after another drive to the left, one that easily cleared the water he hit into Friday en route to a double bogey, and Snedeker closed with a bogey. Mickelson had his third wire-to-wire victory and first since the 2006 BellSouth Classic – a 13-stroke blowout the week before the second of his three Masters victories. He pushed his victory total to 41, winning for the first time since Pebble Beach 51 weeks ago.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Sam Querrey beat Thiago Alves 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3) on Sunday to give the United States a dramatic 3-2 victory over Brazil and a spot in the Davis Cup quarterfinals. The U.S. will host Serbia in the next round in Boise, Idaho, from April 5 to 7. Querrey stepped up after teammate John Isner lost 2-6, 6-4, 6-7 (7), 6-4, 6-3 to Thomaz Bellucci earlier Sunday, forcing a deciding fifth match. It was the first time since 2000 that a U.S. team needed to win the fifth match to advance. The 25-year-old Querrey started fast, breaking Alves in the second game of the match. But Alves, ranked No. 141, responded with breaks of his own in the third and ninth games to take the opening set. Querrey responded with a consistent array of crosscourt winners to control play the rest of the way. While Isner bemoaned his play, Querrey expressed satisfaction with a straight-set win over Bellucci on Friday and the four-setter against Alves on Sunday. “I was very happy with the way I battled through [the match],” Querrey said. “I fought through the tough points and got breaks in the second, third and fourth sets. I was just happy to get through it.” Querrey was especially effective with his serve. He finished with 26 aces, compared to one for Alves, often clocking 120 mph or faster. When Alves was able to return a serve, it often was with little pace, enabling Querrey to eventually hit winners.

Today is a good day for Sam and our team in a lot of ways.”

Military mom must rally all of her family to move
Dear Abby: We’re a military family and have moved often since my husband and I married. In the past, relocating was always easy because our two sons were younger, but we have lived in the same community for more than five years now. Our older son is 14 and a freshman in high school. My husband has reached a point in his career where he can either retire from the military or re-enlist to finish out his 30 years. Either way, it will probably require another move. Our 11-year-old son is a free spirit who seems to adjust wherever we are. The problem is, our teenager is begging us not to move because of the friends he has in school. I’m torn. I understand my son’s reasons, and people who had to move as teens agree it’s difficult when they’re in high school. We live in a very small town, and I’m sure the move will take us to a larger area. I know my son will see he’ll have more to do and will make a lot more friends. But he doesn’t want to leave and is becoming very emotional about it. My husband is willing to leave without us, get settled and let our son finish high school here. I don’t want to
DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips separate the family. Can you help us? – Not “At Ease” In
Georgia Dear Not At Ease: Do not separate your family. If this were your son’s last year of high school, I might feel differently. However, there is still plenty of time for him to make new friends at a new high school. Because he doesn’t want to lose his old ones, he can stay in touch with them electronically. What your son is experiencing is one of the realities of military life, and it may teach him to become more adept at social relationships. So think positive and do not let his fear of change hold you back. Dear Abby: I have a pet peeve, and it’s an aggravation I encounter frequently. For some reason, people do not understand hours of business. Our hours are always clearly posted, so PLEASE don’t knock on the door before the business is open. My personal irritant has to do with closing time. When the sign says we close at 9 p.m., it means the doors lock
at that time. It does NOT mean that if you can slide in the door 30 seconds before closing that we must stay and serve your needs for however long you are present. If you can’t complete your business at or before closing time, then come back tomorrow or find a business that stays open later. There still are a lot of duties to be finished after the last customer leaves and before we can go home. – Had A Long Day,
Richland, Wash. Dear Had A Long Day: Not only was it a long day, it appears to have been a bad one. If it wasn’t, you wouldn’t have forgotten that the most important thing in running a business is customer service. This sometimes can mean bending the rules. If you find this too difficult, you can always refuse to open your door early and “remind” anyone who enters just before closing that you lock your door promptly at the posted hour for the reason you stated. Individuals who want more personalized service are, indeed, free to shop at stores with more flexible hours. (And they will.)

Rely on your body’s natural detox system, not a fad diet
Dear Dr. K: It seems like everyone I know is doing a cleanse or detox diet. Is there any merit to them? Dear Reader: As my readers know, I’m open to a number of non-traditional treatments. Some have been studied scientifically and found to be valuable – such as tai chi for fibromyalgia. Others haven’t been fully studied but appear to have no adverse effects, and some people swear by them – such as acupressure for the nausea caused by chemotherapy. I’m open-minded, yet skeptical, about any proposed treatment – mainstream or complementary – until it’s been shown to be of value in scientific studies. Which brings us to cleanse or detox diets. You’ve probably heard of the “Master Cleanse.” For days, you consume only a concoction made of spring water, organic maple syrup, freshly squeezed organic lemon juice and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Not all detox diets are that extreme, but many do require at least 24 hours of a strict liquid diet. But what exactly does it mean to “detoxify”? And do these diets really hold the key to physical and spiritual rejuvenation? The word “detoxification” describes any type of therapy

ADVICE
Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com
ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff that removes potentially damaging toxins from the body. Pesticides are an example. The idea behind detox diets is the buildup of toxins in our bodies decreases immunity, leads to chronic disease, decreases energy and slows metabolism. Detox diets claim to cleanse the body of this toxic waste. As toxins are flushed out, so the theory goes, the body functions better and metabolism returns to normal. I’m sympathetic to this idea. Surely, in the post-industrial age we have added many chemicals into our environment – chemicals none of our species, going back 40,000 years, had ever been exposed to. It’s not unreasonable to think some of these chemicals might be damaging our health, and anything that removes them from our body might therefore be beneficial. But there’s no evidence detox diets actually remove toxins from our bodies, prevent chronic disease or improve overall health. What’s more, detox diets can be expensive and can cause unpleasant
side effects such as decreased energy, lightheadedness, headaches and nausea. Before you go on a detox diet, consider this: Your body’s own organs, particularly the liver, are part of a natural detoxification system. They convert toxins into nontoxic substances that your body excretes. Specific foods and food groups are especially good at supporting our natural detoxification system. At the top of the list are cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, watercress and Brussels sprouts. Other foods on the list include garlic, leeks and onions, turmeric and citrus peel. If you’re in good health, a brief detox diet probably won’t hurt. But avoid one completely if you are nursing or pregnant, young, elderly or have a medical condition. I support my body’s natural detoxification system by eating a well-balanced, plantrich diet that includes plenty of detox-supporting foods. After all, why drink broccoli when you can just eat it?

Announcing a Breakthrough Discovery at a amous Massachusetts University!
Does Low estosterone Mean A Shorter Lifespan? Does it also cause excess body fat, problem sleepng, lack of energy, hgh cholesterol, hgh blood pressure, your heart dsease, strokes, memory loss, and of course, an empty sex lfe! Recently, doctors at a famous Massachusetts university dropped a“medical bombshell” that’s guaranteed to change the life and lifespan of every man over the age of 30. Revealed in this life-changing report is both good news and bad about one of the most Dr. Phlppe important medical discoveries Moser of the past 100 years! FIRST THE BAD NEWS: After over 30 years of testing — comes conclusive proof that 99% of all men over 30 years of age sufer from lowered levels of testosterone and exposure to all of the “NEGATIVE NINE” consequences you see listed above. Which simply means that once you reach the age of 30, your body’s supply of testosterone grows lower… youthful energy and zest for life gradually disappear… and in their place come all the aches, pains and heartbreaks of a rapidly aging body. Not a very encouraging future. But wait — don’t despair, because: NOW COMES THE GOOD NEWS: Medical School Researchers found a new testosterone-boosting ingredient from a tree in Malaysia — called Eurycoma Longifolia that studies show boost your testosterone reserves by up to 213% in men between the ages of 23 and 83 — and therefore ights of all these dreaded consequences of aging. I Just 48 Hours You Start To Feel Like You Are A Whole Geeratio Youger! Unlike the past, when the only remedy for low testosterone was weekly testosterone injections… NOW, with science’s newly developed “miracle pill” — called LIBIDON PLUS —you can boost prime-of-life health, vigor and vitality to your body to ight of the ravaging efects of low testosterone — such as: � ���������� �� ������ ��� ����� �� � ������� �������� � Unhealthy blood pressure and increased risk to heart problems � Sleep problems and morning wake-up fogginess � Energy bankruptcy - lack of vim, vigor, and vitality throughout the day � Memory loss and slowed relex reaction � Loss of ability to focus and concentrate for extended periods of time � Diminished libido and weakened sexual performance And that’s only the beginning of the wondrous health and life-enhancing beneits that await you thanks to this major scientiic discovery! Imagie Stayig I The Prime Of Life For So Log You First Start Middle Age Whe You Are 75 Years Old! Even more signiicant, after extensive clinical tests doctors predict that with continued use, LIBIDON PLUS may extend your prime-of-life years plus your lifespan itself an additional 15 to 20 years! Literally enjoy a “second springtime” of prime of life years at 70, 80, 90, even 100 years of age — in better health, better condition and with more ired-up energy than your very own children! How New Woder-Pill Fights Of The Efects Of The Agig Process To understand the major role testosterone plays in your well-being, we have to roll back the calendar 30 years.
Dr. Moser Shows You How Vtal Testosterone Is To Your Health, Lfe and Lfespan Body’s Supply of Testosterone Increases After LIBIDON PLUS 213% 200% 150% 100% 50% 0
10 days 20 days 30 days estosterone increases weekly Testng done on actve ngredent n LIBIDON PLUS on men ages 23-83. *Results may vary.
Starting in the 1980’s doctors began to fully recognize how low testosterone afected your health, your quality of life and your very lifespan. So they began treating patients with testosterone injections… as many as 4 to 5 times a week — which even though they made a dramatic change in the lives of all men over 30, were extremely costly and very inconvenient. Then in the late 1990’s scientists developed testosterone pellets to implant beneath the skin every 2 weeks for daily, gradual release. But patients complained they were even more costly than multiple injections and also were very painful when being implanted. But now, at long last, from research scientists comes a completely natural way for every man over 30, to stimulate the production of your body’s life-enhancing testosterone. To once again rejuvenate your system with a prime-of-youth surge of testosterone you have not enjoyed since you were in your late teens or early 20’s. Your Body Is Protected With A “Suit Of Armor” Agaist LifeShorteig Coditios That Usually Occur With Agig! Now do you realize why the problem of low testosterone and its solution has been written up in the “Journal Of The American Medical Association”, “The New England Journal Of Medicine”, the U.S. Government’s “National Institute of Health” and countless reports from medical schools and universities across the country! And why LIBIDON PLUS with Eurycoma Longifolia is so vital to the health, wellbeing and lifespan of every man from age 30 to age 80… that a full one-month BONUS bottle supply will be sent to all who try it within the next 15 days!
