Some drugs in short supply Work on Area hospitals cope with national shortage of almost 120 medications

Route 14 is closer Widening could begin this summer By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com

Pharmacy technician Ann Bolton divides a 20-gram bag of magnesium into two-gram portions Friday while working at the central pharmacy at Centegra Health System’s McHenry hospital. There has been an increase in drug shortages, especially of injectable drugs, since 2005. By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com As the national drug shortage continues, area hospitals are keeping a close eye on what they need and what’s available. Almost 120 drugs are in short supply, according to the Food and Drug Administration. They include cancer drugs, anesthetics and electrolytes for patients on IV feeding. “They’re not the exotic medications that are in the market,” said Centegra Health System’s director of pharmacy, Scott Padjen. “They’re the standard, com-

mon medications that most patients require when they come into the hospital.” To make sure the hospitals have what they need, pharmacy staff have to “micromanage” the purchasing process more than they’ve needed to in past years, said Lanndon Rose, the director of ambulatory care and pharmacy services at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington. Centegra Health System has hired extra technicians just to handle keeping up with the

about the shortage In 2011, 251 drug shortages were reported to the Food and Drug Administration, up from 178 drug shortages in 2010. A major reason is quality and manufacturing issues, according to the FDA. It also pointed to delays in receiving raw materials and components from suppliers. Many of the drugs affected are sterile injectable drugs because any hiccup in the supply can cause a problem. Fewer firms make them and the complex manufacturing process makes increasing production difficult, according to the FDA. To see a list of affected drugs, search for “drug shortages” at fda.gov.

WOODSTOCK – Construction to widen Route 14 between Crystal Lake and Woodstock could begin this summer, about a year after the Illinois Department of Transportation had originally planned to break ground. Construction will widen the congested, two-lane stretch of highway from Lucas Road, near McHenry County College in Crystal Lake, to West Lake Shore Drive in Woodstock, where the highway currently breaks to four lanes. When completed, the highway will have five lanes – two each way, plus a median that will open to a turn lane when necessary. The project will take an estimated year and a half to complete, although much of the time frame depends on weather conditions, Woodstock City Engineer Al Wilson said. In addition to clearing up traffic congestion, city officials are optimistic that the project will equate to economic development down the road. “It basically helps the traffic flow into and out of town, and with that, hopefully it will spur some development along that section of roadway improvement,” Wilson said.

Executive power no longer on ‘pause’ Obama administration takes active role to start 2nd term By CALVIN WOODWARD and RICHARD LARDNER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – This is what “Forward” looks like. Fast forward, even. President Barack Obama’s campaign slogan is springing to life in a surge of executive directives and agency rule-making

that touch many of the affairs of government. They are shaping the cost and quality of health plans, the contents of the school cafeteria, the front lines of future combat, the price of coal. They are the leading edge of Obama’s ambition to take on climate change in ways that may be unachievable in legislation. Altogether, it’s a kinetic

looking forward

switch from what could have been the watchword of the Obama administration in the closing, politically hypersensitive months of his first term: pause. Whatever the merits of any particular commandment from the president or his agencies, the perception of a government expanding its reach and hitting business with job-killing man-

dates was sure to set off fireworks before November. Since Obama’s re-election, regulations giving force and detail to his health care law have gushed out by the hundreds of pages. To some extent this was inevitable: The law is far-reaching and its most consequential deadlines are fast approaching. The rules are much more than fine print, however, and they

8WATER COOLER Raccoons make home atop construction crane

SEATTLE – Workers using a tower crane to build a 304-unit apartment complex in Seattle have run into a complication: two raccoons climbed 150 feet up the crane and made a home behind the crane’s cab. KING-TV reported that the raccoons had temporarily brought the giant machine to a halt. A crane operator spotted the new residents while ascending the tower Wednesday. The general contractor, Rafn Company, called in experts who were trying to catch the critters with humane traps. Project superintendent John Kellberg said this is a first for him. The apartment complex in the city’s Ballard neighborhood is due to open in the summer 2014. KING reported that neighbors say large raccoons are common in Ballard.

Swedish ice pole-sitting contest has 6 winners

STOCKHOLM – Six contestants have braved buttnumbing cold and boredom to win an annual ice pole-sitting contest in northern Sweden. Two women and four men shared the $3,100 prize for remaining on 8.25-foot-tall blocks of ice during the 48hour contest, which ended Saturday. Competitors said the worst part of the competition was not the cold – temperatures dipped below -18 degrees – but the monotony, even though they were allowed to come down for 10-minute toilet breaks every other hour. Organizer Annica Andersson said the contest has been held annually for a dozen years, and was brought to the Swedish town of Vilhelmnina by a local resident who had participated in a similar competition in Russia.

McHENRY: FUNDRAISER FOR COUNTY CHARITIES

Registration under way for Human Race 5K in April NORTHWEST HERALD

Monica Maschak – mmaschak@shawmedia.com

Britten Follett, 31, co-wrote the book “Who Killed Kelsey?” about the death of an abused child and state agencies that failed to protect her. Follett is a former TV reporter who was recently named to the board of Prevent Child Abuse Illinois. She hopes to make child abuse prevention a political issue.

McHENRY – Registration is under way for the McHenry County Human Race, a 5K walk/run on April 21. The 5K supports nonprofit charitable organizations serving McHenry County. Race participants designate which organization will receive proceeds from their registration fee. More than 45 charities have already signed up for the Human Race. Registration can be found at www.mchumanrace.org for the race in McHenry’s corporate park on Corporate

Drive. Local organizations have a chance to win awards for the amount their runners and walkers raise. Human Race cinch bags will be given to the first 200 people who raise $50 for the charity of their choice. The

Running Depot in Crystal Lake is offering a walk/run training program to get people started. Anyone who signs up for the race can receive a complimentary six-week training program. For information about the Human Race, visit www. mchumanrace.org or call 815344.4483. Not-For-Profit Resources manages the race. The organization provides volunteer information and referrals, as well as professional development for nonprofit organizations.

Britten Follett Finding a way to end child abuse continues to be a passion for Britten Follett. Follett is a former TV news reporter who cowrote the book “Who Killed Kelsey?” about the murder of 2-year-old Kelsey SmithBriggs. Follett looked into the negligence in Kelsey’s story and the corruption in the Oklahoma Department of Human Services. The Woodstock resident was named in December to the board of directors of Prevent Child Abuse Illinois. In Illinois, there were 90 deaths related to child abuse or child neglect in 2011. Follett recently spoke with reporter Joseph Bustos about her role on the Prevent Child Abuse Illinois board.

The Follett lowdown Who is she? Britten Follett, member of the Prevent Child Abuse Illinois Board of Directors and coauthor of “Who Killed Kelsey?” Age: 31 Town: Woodstock Family: She is the daughter of Chuck and Dale Follett of Marengo, and has a sister, Asia Follett. Favorite book: “Gone with the Wind” Favorite type of food: Italian food Website: www.whokilledkelsey. com are going on in their life and combine that with alcohol abuse, drug abuse, and those difficult scenarios become much more difficult.

would come in contact with a child, whether it be a parent, community member. I feel we’re all responsible for protecting our children, and you can’t just rely on an organization like DCFS to determine who’s at fault. So often moms or dads will lie to the DCFS person in the home. ... Maybe that school bus driver or that barista might see something on a regular basis, suspect it, and we have an obligation to report it. I think that’s the biggest part of my mission in joining the organization, is to get the word out about child abuse prevention and make it a dinner-table conversation.

Bustos: You said training. Is it what to look for? Follett: It’s what to look for in child abuse, who is responsible in reporting child abuse, and, in general, what are the triggers. What might make a parent snap? I think in so many cases, many people think child abuse is bad people who abuse their children. In reality, it could happen in anyone’s home. ... It’s not a premeditated thing. It’s a crime of passion where the parent becomes so frustrated with whatever circumstances

Bustos: It seems like a difficult topic to bring up over the dinner table. Follett: It is, but the reality

have died in Iraq. You hear about that on the nightly news, but we don’t talk about the children who are dying due to child abuse. ... Being in television for 10 years, and covering these cases as a reporter, I was in a unique position where I could tell these stories to a broad audience, but year after year after year, I was telling the same story. It was new face, same story. The same failures of the system. For me, it’s been kind of liberating to get out of television and work directly with these organizations that have a closer impact on children’s lives.

Bustos: What is your role as a board member? Follett: I’ve been asked to serve on a couple of committees, one is fundraising, and I’ve also been helping their communications director with their public relations and social media and marketing outreach. It’s a good fit for me to help them get that message out there.

When was the last time you reviewed your business insurance? As your COUNTRY Fi฀a฀cial represe฀tative, we ca฀ customize a pla฀ to help you a฀d your busi฀ess mai฀tai฀ fi฀a฀cial stre฀gth. You work hard to keep your busi฀ess ru฀฀i฀g every day. We’ll work hard to help you stay protected every step of the way.

Bustos: What do you hope to accomplish as a board member? Follett: Raise the profile of the organization, and raise the profile of child abuse prevention in the state of Illinois. Certainly Illinois has a large number of child deaths on a yearly basis. ... A lot of those deaths involve prior DCFS involvement. If you have a case worker who comes in contact with the child, and the child still ends up dying, there’s a disconnect with that system.

Bustos: How do we stop child abuse? Follett: To me, it’s mak-

Online voter signup sought The ASSOCIATED PRESS

SPRINGFIELD – These days, people bank online. They shop online. They even file taxes online. So why can’t Illinoisans register to vote online, as voters do in other states? Gov. Pat Quinn wants to modernize state election law by allowing would-be voters to skip visits to the courthouse or village hall by registering on their home computers. “We must move our election process into the 21st century,” Quinn told legislators last week in his State of the State address. Supporters say the measure could benefit two million people in Illinois who are qualified but have not registered. They say the option could be particularly attractive to 18- to 24-yearolds, more accustomed to using the web. And other states have adopted it and put in place systems to address concerns about voter fraud. Proposals to lessen the burden of voting have at times been viewed skeptically by Republicans as efforts to benefit low-income and minority voters who mark Democratic ballots. But many states that allow online registration are Republican leaning, and Illinois’ GOP leadership doesn’t object to the governor’s proposal – though many questioned whether it should be a legislative priority at a time when the state has its plate full with so many serious financial challenges. At least 15 states, including Colorado, California and Nevada, allow voters to register online.

8LOCAL BRIEF 2 suffer minor burns in Island Lake fire ISLAND LAKE – Two people were taken to a hospital with minor injuries after a bedroom fire Sunday morning. The fire started about 8:30 a.m. at 126 Southern Terrace, Island Lake, a single-family home. “We took two patients to the hospital for minor burns,” said shift Cmdr. Kevin Pyne of the Wauconda Fire Department. “It wasn’t overly serious, but more as a precaution.” A dog at the residence escaped uninjured. Crews were able to put the fire out relatively quickly, Pyne said, but the house sustained an estimated $80,000 to $90,000 in damage – mainly from smoke. “It ended up being more like a mattress fire,” Pyne said. “Once we put that out and got the mattress out of the building, the room didn’t sustain a ton of fire damage.” The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Could Thi฀ Be The Cause of Your Pai฀ful Sciatica A฀d Excruciati฀g Back Pai฀? (GE฀ AN EVALUA฀ION ฀ODAY IF YOU SUFFER FROM ฀HESE CONDI฀IONS.) A High Rate of Success

Havi฀g back a฀d leg pai฀ ca฀ feel like a crippli฀g co฀ditio฀. You might ฀ot be able to play golf, work, or eve฀ sit i฀ the car for a 30-mi฀ute drive. It’s almost impossible for a฀yo฀e arou฀d you to u฀dersta฀d how you feel. You ca฀’t remember the last time you eve฀ had a restful ฀ight’s sleep.

Liste฀ to what my patie฀ts have to say about this treatme฀t. Here’s the poi฀t of all these success stories: spi฀al decompressio฀ has a high success rate of helpi฀g disc her฀iatio฀s, sciatica, a฀d back pai฀. This mea฀s i฀ just a matter of weeks you could be back o฀ the golf course, e฀joyi฀g your love life, or traveli฀g agai฀.

Do You Have A฀y of the Followi฀g?

It’s time for you to fi฀d out if spi฀al decompressio฀ will be your sciatic pai฀ solutio฀. The First Seve฀ Callers will receive everythi฀g listed below for $47. $25. I usually charge $257 for these services!

•Sharp pai฀s i฀ the back of the leg •Lower Back Pai฀ •Her฀iated/bulgi฀g discs •Numb฀ess i฀ your arms or legs •Shooti฀g hip or thigh pai฀ •Muscle spasm, sprai฀s & strai฀s

What does this offer i฀clude? Everythi฀g. Here’s what you’ll get...

If you’ve suffered from a฀y of these a฀฀oyi฀g co฀ditio฀s, you may have “Sciatica”. Sciatica is a compressio฀ of the sciatic ฀erve, usually by a฀ L4 or L5 disc her฀iatio฀. Discs act like a cushio฀ betwee฀ our backbo฀es a฀d allow for a space at each level so the ฀erves ca฀ exit the spi฀al colum฀. Scie฀tific studies tell us that spi฀al discs are respo฀sible for most of the aches a฀d pai฀s from which people suffer. Whe฀ these discs get i฀jured or wear out from bad posture or old i฀juries, they begi฀ to dege฀erate a฀d cause pai฀. Bulgi฀g a฀d her฀iatio฀s begi฀ to form, pressi฀g o฀ the ฀erve roots. If the her฀iatio฀s occur at L4-L5, they ca฀ severely compromise the large sciatic ฀erve, causi฀g muscle weak฀ess, ti฀gli฀g, a฀d severe pai฀. U฀fortu฀ately, ma฀y people thi฀k back surgery is the o฀ly way to fix sciatica a฀d disc problems. But here’s the problem... there is a high failure rate of back surgery. O฀e medical study fou฀d that, o฀ average, 53% of L5-S1 back surgeries fail to produce relief of symptoms (Internat฀onal Orthop 1987.)

Your Drugless, No฀-Surgical Solutio฀ Fortu฀ately, if you are sufferi฀g from a฀y of the problems listed above, they may be relieved or elimi฀ated by ฀o฀-surgical spi฀al decompressio฀. No฀-surgical spi฀al decompressio฀ is a tech฀ology that has bee฀ prove฀ to reverse disc her฀iatio฀s. It creates a vacuum effect o฀ the disc, which pulls the disc back i฀to its ฀ormal positio฀ a฀d bri฀gs i฀ a fresh blood supply to promote heali฀g. Spi฀al decompressio฀ treatme฀ts are very ge฀tle.

Hospital releases 3 hurt in New Orleans shooting The ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW ORLEANS – Gunshots erupted in a crowd of bead-wearing, drink-carrying late-night revelers on Bourbon Street during the countdown to Mardi Gras, wounding four people and sending bystanders running and screaming. Hours later on Sunday, though, the same stretch was packed with partiers who said they weren’t letting the violence dampen their fun. The shootings wounded two men and two women, three of whom were treated and released Sunday. One man hit in the abdomen, thigh and pelvis was in stable condition Sunday after surgery the previous night, New Orleans Police spokesman Hilal Williams said. Another man was shot in

the buttocks, one woman was shot on the chin and right foot, and the second woman was shot in the toe, police said. No ages or names were released. In a video taken by a witness Saturday night and released the next day, the shootings are preceded by footage of people standing shoulder to shoulder in New Orleans’ famed tourist district, with some holding green plastic cups and wearing gaudy hats or masks. A section of the frame highlighted by police shows people jostling and speaking with angry expressions. Police said in an email that the video depicts an argument involving one of the shooting victims and the suspects. Two men are seen leaving the argument and returning with a third, then approach-

ing the victim as at least one of the suspects begins shooting, according to police. Four shots are heard in rapid succession, followed by screams as some in the crowd stagger into one another and a nearby wall. A man whom police identified as one of the suspects is shown walking through the crowd with his arm extended as the gunshots are heard, though it’s difficult to make out a weapon. Police said Sunday that they were seeking the three men and that they’ve identified one suspect, but won’t release the name. The shooting came on the last weekend of partying before Mardi Gras, the Fat Tuesday celebration that is the signature tourist event of the year in New Orleans.

Rubio on rise within GOP The ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON – Marco Rubio is taking center stage as Republicans search for a new leader. In the nearly 100 days since President Barack Obama won a second term, the Florida senator has made calculated, concrete steps to emerge as a next-generation leader of a rudderless party, put a 21stcentury stamp on the conservative movement and potentially position himself for a future presidential run. The bilingual Cuban-American lawmaker has become Republicans’ point person on immigration reform and pitches economic solutions at middleclass workers. He is an evangelist for a modern, inclusive party that welcomes more Hispanics and minorities but says Republicans must stay

true to their principles. “In a way, he’s trying to save us from ourselves,” said Al Cardenas, the chairman of the American Conservative Union who gave Rubio his first job in politics – as a South Florida field staffer during Bob Dole’s 1996 presidential campaign. “He Marco Rubio gives us comfort against the naysayers who say we need to change our basic beliefs to attract a wider audience.” Rubio will give the Republican response to Obama’s State of the Union address Tuesday, a rebuttal that Rubio advisers say will offer economic prescriptions for a sluggish economy and counter what they call Obama’s government-centered economic approach.

The speech comes as demand for the 41-year-old son of immigrants has soared and the party has tried to recover from significant electoral losses and map out a path ahead. Call it the “it” factor. Time magazine splashed Rubio on its cover this week, anointing him “The Republican Savior.” Rubio, a Catholic, responded on Twitter: “There is only one savior, and it is not me. #Jesus.” He shrugged off the label during an interview with The Associated Press: “I didn’t write the cover. I wouldn’t have said it if I wrote it.” “There are no saviors in politics,” he said. The former Florida House speaker has been on a Republican rocket ship since 2010, when he knocked off Florida Gov. Charlie Crist in a Senate race that showed the tea party’s clout.

Mumford & Sons nab top album The ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES – Mumford & Sons wrapped up a completely unpredictable Grammy Awards with perhaps the most surprising win of the night, taking home album of the year for “Babel.” It was an event that even shocked the London folk-rockers. “We figured we weren’t going to win anything because The Black Keys have been sweeping up all day, rightfully so,” Marcus Mumford said. Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys ended up the night’s top winner with four trophies, including producer of the year and three rock category vic-

Obamacare not sole focus • OBAMA

Continued from page A1

would have thickened the storm over the health care overhaul if placed on the radar in last year’s campaign. That, after all, was the season when some Republicans put the over-the-top label “death panel” on a board that could force cuts to service providers if Medicare spending ballooned. The new health law rules provide leeway for insurers to charge smokers thousands of dollars more for coverage. They impose a $63 per-head fee on insurance plans – a charge that probably will be passed on to policyholders – to cushion the cost of covering people with medical problems. There’s a new fee for insurance companies for participating in markets that start signing customers in the fall. In short, sticker shock. It’s clear from the varied inventory of previously bottled-up directives that Obama cares about more than “Obamacare.” “I’m hearing we’re going to see a lot of things moving now,” Hilda Solis told employees in her last day as labor secretary. At the Labor Department, this could include regulations requiring that the nation’s 1.8 million in-home care workers receive minimum-wage and overtime pay.

Tougher limits on soot from smokestacks, diesel trucks and other sources were announced just over a month after the Nov. 6 election. These were foreseen: The administration had tried to stall until the campaign ended but released the proposed rules in June when a judge ordered more haste. Regulations give teeth and specificity to laws even as they create bureaucratic bloat. Congress-skirting executive orders and similar presidential directives are less numerous and generally have less reach than laws. But every president uses them and often tests how far they can go, especially in times of war and other crises. President Harry Truman signed an executive order in 1952 directing the Commerce Department to take over the steel industry to ensure U.S. troops fighting in Korea were kept supplied with weapons and ammunition. The Supreme Court struck it down. Other significant actions have stood. After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, President George W. Bush approved a series of executive orders that created an office of homeland security, froze the assets in U.S. banks linked to al-Qaida and other terrorist groups, and authorized the military services to call reserve forces to active duty for as long as two years.

Mali, two weeks after French and Malian troops ousted the jihadists. The Islamic radicals fought against the Malian army throughout the afternoon and were seen roaming the narrow streets and on rooftops in Gao.

Engineer: No major traffic delays expected • RoUte 14

Continued from page A1

In particular, he added that improvements at high-volume intersections at Doty Road and West Lake Shore Drive will help. City officials in Crystal Lake were equally excited for the road widening to take shape. “It’s a big deal. It’s probably been in the works for 15, 20 years,” Crystal Lake Mayor Aaron Shepley said at the annual State of the City address. “That’s going to be nice. It’s going to keep people moving, and you won’t have to worry about that merge when you’re heading west.” The IDOT project had been scheduled to kick off in summer 2012, but it hit snags along the way. “We’ve been told, basically, it’s issues in acquiring right of way – easement and right of

way,” Wilson said. Woodstock sold 2.5 acres of land northeast of Route 14 and north of Doty Road to IDOT toward the end of 2011, receiving $116,000 in the transaction. The city will be responsible for moving utilities along Route 14 from West Lake Shore Drive to the city limits at Lily Pond Road. Officials estimated $100,000 for the project in Woodstock’s recent five-year capital improvement plan, but the actual cost is still to be determined. Officials at last week’s City Council meeting said IDOT plans to begin letting this spring. Once construction is under way, Wilson doesn’t expect extensive traffic delays. “There’s nothing really unusual there,” he said. “They can reroute traffic as necessary. I don’t think you’ll see periods where traffic is backed up [for] minutes waiting for something to happen.”

Balancing Hormones Naturally Healthy Solutions to PMS & Menopause

Alternative drugs can cost more for hospitals • DRUG SUPPLY

Continued from page A1 shortages on a day-to-day basis, Padjen said. The extra work involves coordinating with other hospitals to see whether they have surpluses of any of the affected drugs, preparing some of the medication themselves, and working with doctors to see if and how the drugs can be rationed. Propofol, for example, is an injection that has been in short supply since April, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Two of the suppliers listed increased demand as the reason behind the shortage. The anaesthetic is used in surgeries and in the intensive care unit, Padjen said, but with the shortage, Centegra has had to limit its use, reserving it for surgeries. Instead, Centegra is using alternatives, which work just as well, but patients can take longer to come out of the sedation, he said. Alternatives also can be more expensive, a cost the hospitals carry. Alternatives are costing Centegra an average of $8,000 a month, Padjen said. That figure doesn’t take into consideration the other cost impacts, including additional staff and hours devoted to managing shortages. Advocate Good Shepherd

Hospital doesn’t track the cost impact, Rose said, adding that the work it would be to track isn’t worth the effort. “There’s not anything that we’re critically short of,” he said. “There’s things that we’re watching but nothing that we can’t provide.” They have kept alternatives to a minimum through agreements with other hospitals – something Centegra does as well – and by loading up on certain drugs when they become available, Rose said. Stockpiling can exasperate the situation, though, Padjen said. And it’s not just hospitals that are doing it. Alternative suppliers, also known as “gray market” suppliers, also have been buying up drugs and then selling them to hospitals at a markedup rate. That’s something Padjen would like to see addressed. Neither Padjen or Rose say they have the solution. There are many theories floating around the industry, and the situation seemed to hit a peak last year, Padjen said. While it’s trailed off a little, he said, it’s still a major issue. The FDA points to early notification, which it says has helped the agency prevent close to 100 shortages over a six-month period in 2012. Rose is less optimistic. “It’s not getting better,” he said. “I don’t know if it’s getting worse.”

Gain for air travel privacy The Federal Aviation Administration, carrying out a mandate from Congress, has ordered the removal from airports of full-body scanners that allow security officers to electronically undress airline customers. They will be replaced with machines that show only a dummy human outline and any hidden weapons. This is a big gain for air travel privacy. But the same privacy concerns that made the removed scanners controversial will follow them if they are used, as planned, in other government security operations. The 250 machines in question are among those that use “backscatter” X-rays to see through clothing. Most of the other 550 FAA body scanners use a radio frequency technology called millimeter-wave and are equipped with privacy software that uses a generic body image. These newer machines require fewer operators, take up less floor space, and complete scans in less time. But there is always some drawback, it seems. The millimeter-wave machines have been found, in tests conducted in Europe and Australia, to have very high “false-positive” rates. At least one in four travelers were stopped for body searches. So don’t expect the change in scanner technology to speed the flow through airport security. Backscatter machines are controversial not only because they can produce a near perfect nude body image that is invasive of travelers’ privacy but because, in the view of some critics, they expose travelers to dangerous levels of ionized X-rays. Members of the public who must pass through these machines at their new locations will inevitably face the same privacy concerns as airline travelers. Happy trails.

Weapons of mass murder such as assault rifles, giant magazines and “cop killer,” armor-piercing bullets are not needed for hunting or home protection. In defending these military-type weapons, the NRA is defending only the needs of terrorists and future mass murderers. A civilized society would ban them. If the city of McHenry, leaders want to trash the heart of their city, they will approve a 24-hour gas and alcohol station next to St. Mary’s Church and Elementary school.

Revenue/spending To the Editor: So much has been written recently that our deficit increase (average of more than a trillion dollars a year) is due to the lack of revenue. Per the Congressional Budget Office, the average annual revenue during the eight Bush years as compared with the average annual revenue during the four Obama years has increased (Bush, $2.145 trillion, versus Obama,

$2.396 trillion) about a 5 percent increase during the Obama years. Contrast that to spending. Again, per the CBO, the annual average spending has increased nearly 50 percent under Obama (Bush, $2.260 trillion versus Obama, $3.593 trillion) for an increase of about 50 percent. To summarize, we are increasing revenue by 5 percent but increasing spending by nearly 50 percent during the same time period. Why are we being told it is a revenue problem when the CBO data clearly shows it is actually a spending problem. CBO is a nonpartisan government agency that just records/analyzes the data and makes projections – at this rate, CBO claims a $20 billion to $22 trillion total national deficit, currently under $17 trillion, by 2016 unless something drastic is decided by our government. Remember, this is not about the 1 percent of Americans. This is not about the 99 percent of Americans. This is about the 100 percent of Americans. Frank Musial McHenry

Lincoln proves himself more effective leader On this day (Feb. 11) in 1861, two presidents-elect departed on trips to assume the duties, which awaited both of them, in their new jobs. Abraham Lincoln, elected Nov. 6, 1860, as the 16th U.S. president, left Springfield, Ill., by train for Washington, D.C. After his March 4, 1861, inauguration, he would be confronted with the problem of maintaining the American Union. Seven Southern slave states (South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas) had, by Feb. 1, all passed ordinances of secession. On Feb. 4, delegates from these seven states had established the Confederate States of America. Lincoln firmly believed secession was unconstitutional and it would be his solemn duty to restore the errand Southern states to their proper relationship in the American Union. Also immediately, he would have to deal specifically with the problem of keeping the eight border slave states (Missouri, Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, North Carolina and Virginia) still in the Union from leaving and joining the Confederacy. Furthermore, he had to mount a diplomatic effort to prevent foreign countries (particularly Great Britain and France) from recognizing (and therefore possibly aiding militarily and financially) the newly created Southern nation.

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

ON THIS DAY Joseph C. Morton Finally, Lincoln was faced with the awesome task of rapidly building up U.S. military and naval forces to conduct a possible military conflict between the U.S. and the CSA; a conflict that did tragically materialize on April 12, 1861, in Charleston Harbor. Lincoln’s Southern counterpart, Jefferson Davis, who had been elected Feb. 9, 1861, as the provisional president of the newly created Confederate States of America, departed from his home, Brierfield Plantation in Mississippi, on the same day Lincoln left Springfield, on what turned out to be an arduous, roundabout boat and train trip to Montgomery (the initial CSA capital city) to assume office as the first and, as it turned out, the only Confederate president. The tasks confronting Davis appeared to be even more daunting than those Lincoln faced. He had to preside over the establishment of an entire new government and nation. This would entail immediately, of course, the creation of a military force to defend the CSA against the possibility of Northern aggressive military action. Also Davis worked to secure foreign diplomatic recognition of the CSA. Finally, he had to keep Southern ports

open in the face of an increasingly effective Northern blockade of Southern ports. The South needed to export its cotton crops to survive since it was not as self-sufficient (especially financially and industrially) as was the North. In 1861, when two presidents-elect left their respective homes to assume their new positions, it appeared that Davis, the West Point graduate, former U.S. senator, and former U.S. secretary of war, would be the more effective president. Lincoln, on the other hand, was viewed by some as just a prairie lawyer from Illinois who, although well-experienced in local and state politics, was relatively unknown nationally and who appeared to lack the necessary political experience and knowhow to lead the country during a period of crisis. However, by the conclusion of the bloody Civil War in 1865, it was readily apparent that Lincoln had been the more effective leader of the two presidents. Not only was Lincoln the “winner” of the war, but he was credited with “restoring” the Union and freeing the slaves. Davis, on the other hand, was the “loser” in the war who proved to have been a contentious, bumptious, ineffective, although well-intentioned, administrator and war leader.

If the treatments you’ve tried haven’t helped your chronic neck or back pain, we encourage you to try Spinal Rejuvenation Therapy. This amazing, non-surgical decompression therapy has helped thousands of FORMER pain sufferers. Spinal Rejuvenation Therapy does not mask pain - instead it corrects the source of the pain. Our medical practitioners have helped people with many different back conditions, such as bulging discs, protruding discs, degenerative disc disease, arthritis, sciatica, posterior facet syndrome, and failed back surgery.

herniated material in the disc has receded, the nerves in the disc are able to heal, eliminating the patient’s pain. It may sound painful, but it’s not. Patients are fitted with a support system, then positioned on a comfortable spinal decompression table. The support system stabilizes the patient’s body so the therapy can focus on the affected area of the spine. Once on the table, an advanced computer system elongates the spine in a slow, gentle manner. This relieves pressure on compressed discs.

Our goal at Superior Health & Wellness is to relieve our patients’ pain. Our doctors perform physical evaluations and review all existing data (such as an MRI or an X-ray) to make sure new patients are candidates for the spinal decompression therapy.

Spinal Rejuvenation Therapy targets a specific disc or trouble area. It creates a vacuum effect inside the disc, allowing the center of the disc to be reabsorbed into its proper position. When the

GYMNASTICS STATE MEET

Battaglia ‘has the horses’ ... to pull off special feat in Palatine Coaching accomplishments mirror his horse racing ownership ventures By JOE STEVENSON

A

smile formed on Lee Battaglia’s face, and his eyes lit up, as he reminisced about a favorite former athlete with whom he had contact. It was not Kurt Thomas, the former Olympic gymnast who was Battaglia’s teammate at Indiana State and who Battaglia later coached. It was not Jenny Covers, the former Prairie Ridge gymnast who won seven state titles and now competes for the University of Minnesota. The athlete of whom Battaglia spoke was much heavier and has four legs. His name is Coach Jimi Lee, a thoroughbred Battaglia purchased with his business partner, trainer Jimmy DiVito, in 2001. It was the third horse they co-owned and by far their most successful. Battaglia is better known for his coaching prowess at Crystal Lake Gymnastics Training Center. He also is the coach of Prairie Ridge’s High School team, a co-op that draws girls from Cary-Grove, Crystal Lake Central and Prairie Ridge. Battaglia’s other business is owning race horses. He owns three on his own and six with DiVito, who trains all their horses. When Coach’s Choice, a 3-year-old filly, runs on opening day Friday at Hawthorne Racecourse in Cicero, Battaglia will not be there. He will be coaching Prairie Ridge in the girls gymnastics state meet in

Palatine, where the Wolves will be favored to win the team trophy. Battaglia sees a correlation with the two sports in which he is involved. “Horses are athletes, just like a gymnast,” he said. “You put them in races where they can win. A horse that isn’t as good as Jimi Lee can run in a $10,000 claiming race. Then, you have Jimi Lee, who can run in a $100,000 race. Their training is very similar to athletes, it’s the same thing.”

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com

Battaglia had a limited knowledge of horses before 1989 when Peter DiVito, Jimmy’s son, was training at Battaglia’s United States Gymnastics Training Center in Lake Zurich. Battaglia remembers Jimmy sitting at the gym, during his son’s practice, reading a racing form. It piqued Battaglia’s curiosity, and eventually he and DiVito talked more about horses.

They now get to play only their third game at home Tuesday against Anaheim when they start a seven-game homestand. “I think we’re all excited to get home and sleep in our own beds,” Keith said. “It’s going to be good. It’s going to be exciting to play in front of our fans and play hard for them.” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said they’ve talked about not wanting to change anything. “We don’t want to feel like we’re at home now and let the air out,” he said.

what was the question? Styf: Talking to you is like talking to a wall, something I like to do. So I’ll just continue on my own rant. Jay Cutler gets criticized for a lot of things. Personally, I’m amused by his sarcastic dry tone. And I’m amused he allegedly proposed to K-Cav via mail (which he can’t do on a Saturday anymore). I just don’t think he’s the guy to put this offense together and make it a winner.

Quarterback Jay Cutler walks the sideline during the Bears’ game against the Cardinals on Dec. 23 in Glendale, Ariz.

MESA, Ariz. – Cubs manager Dale Sveum has no intention of rehashing last season or even mentioning the 101 losses. When Sveum does finally meet with the entire team at spring training – pitchers and catchers officially reported Sunday to Fitch Park, with position players due to officially arrive Saturday – he wants to focus on a clean slate. But finishing the 2013 season at .500, while it looks nice on paper, won’t lead any in the Cubs organization to declare the year a success. “The only way to always dictate a season is if you get to the playoffs,” Sveum said. “Everything’s put on numbers, how many wins, playing .500. … When you start put- Dale Sveum ting prices on numbers – oh well, .500 would be a good year this year. Well, .500, we’ll be going home just like we did last year.” Sveum, general manager Jed Hoyer and president of baseball operations Theo Epstein met with the media ahead of today’s informal workouts and each continued to emphasize the necessary stages during rebuilding. “I think we’re being open and transparent with our fans about what we’re trying to accomplish, that we’re not going to take any shortcuts,” Epstein said. “We’re going to try and build this the right way. It’s a bit of a covenant where we ask for their patience and ask them to get behind the young players who come up to the big leagues. ... In return, we promise to work our tails off, the entire organization from top to bottom, so that we can build something truly special.” The Cubs finally have built decent roster depth, particularly with starting pitchers. Sveum said seven pitchers will be competing for five spots in the starting rotation. However, realistically, four – Scott Feldman, Scott Baker, Travis Wood and Carlos Villanueva – will be battling for the Nos. 4 and 5 spots. Combined with the continued improvement from Starlin Castro, who Epstein expects to have a breakout year offensively soon, and a full year with Anthony Rizzo in the lineup, the Cubs are hopeful there will be notable improvement on the field.

If horse owner Lee Battaglia looks uneasy aboard Coach Jimi Lee, his winningest horse, it’s for good reason. Battaglia had not been on a horse as an adult. “That’s the scaredest I’ve ever been, and I’ve done double-backs off high bars and stuff.” He was afraid Coach, who’s known to be ornery at times, would spin and throw him off.

Battaglia’s best investment – Coach Jimi Lee – surpassed $1 million in winnings • BATTAGLIA

Continued from page B1

Battaglia liked horses, but his extent of contact had been as a boy riding one of the harnessed ponies at a fair. DiVito’s father trained horses for 60 years – “We have 100 years training between us now,” he said – and brought Battaglia along into the racing game. “We have a real good partnership,” said DiVito, who lives in Palatine and races their horses mainly at Hawthorne and Arlington Park. “I do the training and he does the watching and the winning. I said, ‘Let me do the training.’ He can train the gymnasts; I can train horses.” DiVito has the gift for finding horses at auctions. It’s instinctive, honed through years of working, observing and learning from his father. Coach Jimi Lee fit his criteria, so he bought him for $15,000, $7,500 apiece for DiVito and Battaglia. Battaglia considers Coach Jimi Lee the best financial investment he ever has made. No wonder Battaglia often dons a cap with a horse figure and “Coach Jimi Lee” on the front. “Jimi Lee was our lottery ticket,” Battaglia said. “We have done well, and I attribute that to Jimmy. He knows these horses. I have all the faith in the world he does a good job for us.” There were offers for Coach Jimi Lee. Substantial, generous offers. Offers that DiVito wanted to take, but Battaglia could not. Finally, Battaglia told DiVito to not even mention when another offer was made. “[Coach Jimi Lee] brought me some of the most memorable times of my life,” Battaglia said. Coach Jimi Lee surpassed $1 million in career earnings at the age of 11 and was retired. He now lives in a barn at Hawthorne and, as Battaglia says, pretty much runs the place. Battaglia says he thinks Coach Jimi Lee knows he was a big deal. He does, after all, still hold Hawthorne’s course record for 6 furlongs (1:07.27).

Battaglia’s only regret with Coach Jimi Lee is that the horse was gelded when he was 2 and cannot breed. “Ohhhhh, let me tell you,” he said, “that would be great.”

GYM OWNER Battaglia lives in Hawthorn Woods with his wife Jeri and two dogs – a Bullmastiff named Belmont and a Pit Bull named Bonnie. He grew up in Evanston and Buffalo Grove and graduated from Buffalo Grove High School in 1977. He was the 1977 IHSA boys gymnastics state meet runner-up on the parallel bars and horizontal bar and earned a scholarship to Indiana State, where he became teammates with Thomas, the future world champion and Olympian. He finished at Northern Illinois University, then worked as assistant coach there for two years and opened USGTC in 1986 in Lake Zurich. He helped train Thomas during his comeback through 1992, then opened CLGTC in Crystal Lake. He also co-owns Huntley Unlimited Gymnastics School with Jerry Leonard. Prairie Ridge’s teams have become a state power through the girls he coaches in club season. He gets the best of the four District 155 high schools – C-G, Central, Crystal Lake South and Prairie Ridge – and the Wolves took third as a team last year. Sophomores Rachael Underwood and Riley Mahoney were third and sixth overall last year. Sophomore Jada Berkland is healthy this season and has been a force. Senior Savanna Mensching, sophomore Dylann Perrone and freshman Maddie Solka also have qualified in individual events. Mensching and Danielle Dyra are the Wolves’ only seniors. In sports parlance, Battaglia “has the horses” to pull off something extra special this weekend in Palatine. “It’s so neat how you can train a horse to get ready for a race, and you have athletes like Rachael or Riley who are so good,” Battaglia said. “It’s fun to work with them. Like Jimi Lee, he was a natural. He wanted to do it.”

MESA, Ariz. – Javier Baez’s first taste of the big league experience comes with low expectations. Baez, the Cubs’ 2011 firstround draft pick, is participating in major league camp this year joining the rest of the position players when they officially report Saturday. But Cubs making the big Notebook league club out of camp already has been ruled out for Baez. For now, Baez will stay at shortstop and will play there throughout spring. Baez could see limited time at third base or second but only if the Cubs, because of numbers, need someone at the position. President of baseball operations Theo Epstein insisted Starlin Castro is their longterm shortstop, which means a permanent position change awaits Baez in the future. Until then, the Cubs want Baez to soak up the experience of working and playing alongside MLB talent. Epstein said Baez still has significant development ahead of him, and he will likely start the season at High-A Daytona. “He’s here to get a feel for what camp is all about, see how these guys go about their

But it’s not about him making the major league team. This is about his experience.” Garza update: If all goes well, starting pitcher Matt Garza could start Opening Day. Manager Dale Sveum said Garza, Jeff Samardzija and

Edwin Jackson are under consideration to take the mound for the season opener. Sveum declined to go into any more specifics but noted that the decision on who will get the call on Opening Day will be evaluated throughout spring training and partially will be dependent on matchups. Garza still is working his way back into top form after

Less than a week until position players report, the Cubs and outfielder Scott Hairston agreed to a two-year, $5 million deal. Hairston, 32, appeared in 134 games with the Mets last season and hit .263 with 20 home runs and 57 RBIs. Most appealing to the Cubs is his versatility. Hairston played 59 games in left field, 48 in right field and 14 in center field last year. He gives the Cubs another platoon option, especially against left-handed pitchers. To make room for Hairston on the 40-man roster, the Cubs designated speedy outfielder Tony Campana for assignment. The Cubs hope to retain Campana if he clears waivers, but he’d fit well with a playoff contender looking to add speed. He stole 54 bases in 184 game the past two seasons. “It was a difficult call for us,” Epstein said. “I guess it speaks to the fact that our 40-man roster is starting to have better depth on it. But you add an outfielder, and we preferred not to take a pitcher off at this juncture, so looking at the position player group it seemed to make sense to us to make this procedural move with Tony.”

Goal: 360-degree turnaround • CUBS

Continued from page B1 A healthy Ian Stewart is going to get every opportunity to win the third base job, Epstein said, and production is what will determine if he gets to start. The Cubs are confident they also addressed creating a more balanced lineup. They plan to use a platoon in the outfield to get as many lefties in the lineup as possible. “Losses are very difficult,

but our goal is something much bigger, and sometimes you know that there’s going to be a little bit of short-term pain to have a long-term perspective,” Hoyer said. “ …We want to reverse that record completely. It can be hard. It can wear on you.”

No rescuing JoePa’s rep

Go ahead and read all 238 pages of the Paterno family report, if you’re so inclined. People who believe Joe Paterno’s statue still should be standing in Happy Valley probably will, and feel pretty good about it at the end. The summary weighs in at just four pages and does its job of giving Paterno a posthumous cleansing, too. Turns out he was a trusting sort who knew nothing about anything – and no one else did, either. Or just read this headline and save yourself a lot of time: Critique of the Freeh Report: The Rush to Injustice Regarding Joe Paterno. Pretty much sums it up, although widow Sue will appear on Katie Couric’s show today to make sure everyone understands. A year after his death, the campaign to resuscitate Joe Paterno’s name is under way with a hefty document that savages the Freeh report implicating Paterno as a silent enabler of Jerry Sandusky as “rank speculation, innuendo and rhetoric.” Was there any other way this was going to turn out? Months in the making and paid for by the Paterno family, this is as much a public relations campaign as it is an answer to accusations against him. You have a former FBI director; we’ll top you with a former attorney general. You say JoePa knew things and conspired to keep them silent, we’ll say there was no conspiracy at all. At times the defense of Paterno is almost laughable, such as this from former FBI profiler Jim Clemente: “Paterno, like everyone else who knew Sandusky, simply fell victim to effective ‘grooming,’ ” Clemente wrote. Utter hogwash. Paterno himself probably would have said the same thing if he was as honest with himself as the family contends he was with others. There are no excuses for not following up on Mike McQueary description of the sickening things he saw in the locker room showers of the Lasch Football Building. No way of getting around the fact Sandusky was allowed to hang around the locker room for years after that, molesting who knows how

PENN STATE

Paternos challenge Freeh report The ASSOCIATED PRESS STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Joe Paterno’s family released its response to Penn State’s report on the Jerry Sandusky scandal Sunday, attacking Louis Freeh’s conclusion that the coach hid sex abuse allegations against his longtime assistant, Jerry Sandusky. In a report commissioned by the family, former U.S. Attorney General and Pennsylvania Gov. Dick Thornburgh said the probe by former FBI

director Freeh resulted in a “rush to injustice.” That report, authorized by the university, found that Paterno and three former administrators covered up child sexual abuse allegations against Sandusky. Those findings in July were unsupported by the facts, said the family critique released. “The lack of factual report for the ... inaccurate and unfounded findings related to Mr. Paterno, and its numerous process-oriented deficiencies, was a rush to injustice and

calls into question the credibility of the entire Report,” Thornburgh was quoted as saying in the family’s analysis, posted on paterno.com. The report was billed as an independent analysis of the work by Freeh, who defended his report Sunday. “I stand by our conclusion that four of the most powerful people at Penn State failed to protect against a child sexual predator harming children for over a decade,” he said in a statement.

MEN’S BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

No. 1 Indiana bounces back vs. OSU Vonn’s surgery goes well The ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Victor Oladipo scored a career-high 26 points, Cody Zeller added 24 and Christian Watford had 20 to lead No. 1 Indiana back from a demoralizing loss to a huge road win in beating No. 10 Ohio State, 8168, on Sunday. The Hoosiers (213, 9-2 Big Ten), who dominated the second Victor Oladipo half, were coming off a stunning collapse that might have caused the undoing of many teams. On Thursday night at Illinois, the Illini went on a 13-2 run to close the game, with Indiana turning the ball over late and then allowing an uncontested layup at the buzzer of a 7472 shocker. Less than three days later, they more than rebounded with a signature win in hostile territory. The victory was Indiana’s first

against a top-10 conference opponent in about 20 years – since a win in 1993 at Iowa. It was also the Hoosiers’ first win against any team in the top 10 on the road since beating Notre Dame in 2000. Deshaun Thomas, the Big Ten’s leading scorer and an Indiana native, had 26 points for Ohio State (17-6, 7-4), which dropped two games back of the Big Ten leaders with seven games left. No. 4 Duke, 62, Boston College 61: At Boston, Mason Plumlee had 19 points and 10 rebounds, hitting the gamewinning free throw with 26 seconds left to help Duke rally from early and late deficits to beat Boston College. Seth Curry added 18 points for the Blue Devils (21-2, 8-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who watched the three teams above them in the AP Top 25 lose to unranked opponents this week – and then nearly joined them. Duke won its fifth straight game. Olivier Hanlan scored 20 points for Boston College (10-13, 2-8).

California 77, No. 7 Arizona 69: At Tucson, Ariz., Allen Crabbe scored 19 of his 31 points in the second half, Justin Cobbs hit a big shot in the closing seconds and Cal held its composure down the stretch to beat Arizona. Cal (14-9, 6-5 Pac-12) rallied from a 15-point deficit behind its defense against Arizona State on Thursday before coming up just short in a 6662 loss. The Bears did the same thing to Arizona, keying a big run that put them up 10 with their zone. Mark Lyons had 16 points, Solomon Hill added 13 and Brandon Ashley 12 for the Wildcats (20-3, 8-3). No. 9 Syracuse 77, St. John’s 58: At Syracuse, James Southerland scored 13 points in his first appearance in seven games, and C.J. Fair had 17 points and nine rebounds to lead Syracuse past St. John’s. It was the 37th straight win in the Carrier Dome for the Orange (20-3, 8-2 Big East), extending the nation’s longest active home streak in Division I. Freshman JaKarr Sampson had 21

points to lead the Red Storm (15-9, 7-5). N. Iowa 68, Bradley 65: At Peoria, Marc Sonnen scored 15 points and Northern Iowa held on to beat Bradley. Matt Bohannon and Jake Koch scored 14 points apiece and Anthony James added 10 points for the Panthers (14-11, 7-6 Missouri Valley). Dyricus Simms-Edwards scored a career-high 32 points for the Braves (14-11, 6-7), hitting his five 3-pointers in the second half.

Ill.-Chicago 88, Youngstown St. 83 (3OT): At Youngstown, Ohio, Gary Talton led five players in double figures with 23 points, grabbed nine rebounds and dished out eight assists in UIC’s triple overtime win against Horizon League foe Youngstown State. Daniel Barnes added 20 points, Josh Crittle tallied 18 points and 12 rebounds, Marc Brown came off the bench for 12 points and Hayden Humes chipped in 10 for Illinois-Chicago (15-10, 6-6). Kendrick Perry had 29 points for Youngstown State (14-11, 6-6).

Illini take down No. 18 Gophers End 10-game skid on the road against ranked conference teams By DAVE CAMPBELL The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS – Illinois nearly ruined a strong nonconference start by losing seven of its first nine Big Ten games to tumble out of the Top 25. In this loaded league, though, the Fighting Illini still have time to catch up. They might’ve salvaged their season with this terrific week. Tyler Griffey scored 16 points, and Illinois went 11 for 23 from 3-point range to beat No. 18 Minnesota, 57-53, on Sunday night. “We feel like we can Next compete with anybody and we can win any vs. Purdue, game we play,” said 8 p.m. Brandon Paul, who Wednesday, had 10 points. “The BTN, AM-560 Big Ten is so crazy. It’s tough anywhere you go, especially on the road. So you find a way to tough it out.” Three days after Griffey’s buzzerbeating layup gave Illinois (17-8, 4-7) a 74-72 victory over No. 1 Indiana, Tracy Abrams swished a step-back 3-pointer with 18 seconds left to stretch the lead over Minnesota to four. Abrams came off the bench for the first time this season after failing to score against the Hoosiers. D.J. Richardson added 13 points for the Illini, who ended a 10-game losing streak on the road against ranked Big Ten teams. Their last such win was three years ago at Wisconsin. “One thing that is happening now is that people trust each other,” coach John Groce said. “They trust the system more. They’re sticking with the game plan, even when they’re behind.” Austin Hollins had 16 points and four steals for the Golden Gophers (17-7, 5-6), who lost for the sixth time

Illinois’ D.J. Richardson (right) celebrates with Brandon Paul after Richardson hit a 3-pointer against Minnesota in the first half Sunday in Minneapolis. The Illini defeated the 18th-ranked Gophers, 57-53. in eight games and could find themselves out of the Top 25 when the new rankings are released today. “Just another blown opportunity for us,” said coach Tubby Smith, who again sat at a podium lamenting the turnovers. They had 13, none more costly than with 50 seconds left with Illinois leading 54-53. Sixth-year senior Trevor Mbakwe, who had 13 points and 10 rebounds, tried to pivot out of a double team down low and threw a twohanded pass across the court that sailed out of bounds. Abrams scored on the next trip up the court, and Hollins air-balled a 3-pointer after that.

The Gophers played without senior forward Rodney Williams, whose shoulder injury kept him out of a game for the first time in nearly three years. That forced Smith into some awkward lineup combinations, and the reserves again struggled to establish a rhythm or avoid stagnant, sloppy possessions. Elliott Eliason, who filled many of Williams’ minutes, had 10 rebounds, three assists and two blocks and swished a mid-range jumper with 2:22 left to pull the Gophers within one point. But the Gophers didn’t get enough help. Andre Hollins and Joe Coleman combined to shoot 3 for 18 from the floor.

The Gophers, who won at Assembly Hall – 84-67 – last month while holding the Illini to 3-for-24 shooting from 3-point range, were trying to beat Illinois twice in the regular season for the first time since 1996. They led by as much as 13-2 and 26-14 in the first half. The Illini didn’t make a shot from the field until 9½ minutes were gone in the game, when Nnanna Egwu’s baseline jumper bounced off the rim and dropped in. But the Gophers found themselves trailing 31-30 at the break after a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Richardson, his third in the final four minutes of the half. That fueled a 20-4 run by the Illini that didn’t end until a dunk by Mbakwe well into the second stanza, ending a skid of more than 7½ minutes without a basket. The Gophers knew the sharp-shooting Illini would find their stroke, that their tough defense early wouldn’t be enough. “That’s how they beat Indiana. They’re a tough team. They needed that win just like we did,” Mbakwe said. As the only team in the nation with three wins over opponents ranked in the top 10 of the most recent Associated Press poll, the Illini hadn’t yet proven they can play consistent enough defense to pull out gritty victories when the performance isn’t so pretty. This was their lowest point total in any of their wins this season. “I’m just proud of the guys. We kind of carried that momentum into tonight,” Griffey said, adding: “When we needed stops, we got stops. When we needed a bucket, we got a bucket.” Richardson made consecutive 3-pointers from the same place on the left wing on fast breaks that developed from rebounds of tough shots by the Gophers at the end of disheveled possessions, and then Sam McLaurin held his spot in the lane as 6-foot-10, 290-pound Maurice Walker powered past him for a basket. The charge was called, and Groce was so happy he gave McLaurin a bear hug at the timeout. Paul found space in the lane for a layup right after that, and suddenly the Illini were at 26-24. “We want to finish the season strong, and that’s something that’s definitely in the back of our minds every game,” Paul said.

The surgeon who operated on Lindsey Vonn’s right knee was “optimistic for a full recovery” after she shredded two ligaments during a crash last week at the world championships. Dr. Bill Sterett, a physician for the U.S. Ski Team, performed the procedure on the four-time overall World Cup champion Sunday morning in Vail, Colo. In a release issued by the ski team, Sterett said the surgery went well and that she was resting comfortably. “The overall sucLindsey Vonn cess rate for ACL/MCL surgery is very good. Modern surgical techniques combined with aggressive rehabilitation will help Lindsey make a full recovery,” said Sterett, who’s also a surgeon at Vail-Summit Orthopaedics. “She will do everything in her power to return as quickly as possible to competitive skiing.” Vonn tore her anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments last week during the super-G in Schladming, Austria. She also broke a bone in her lower leg. Sterett said it was too early to issue a specific prognosis and didn’t have a return date to skiing for Vonn. But other doctors said they believe she could be sidelined for up to eight months. That would give her time to get back to the slopes for the 2014 Sochi Winter Games. Shortly after her accident, Vonn said she fully intended to be in the starting gate for Sochi to defend her Olympic downhill title from the 2010 Vancouver Games. The 28-year-old Vonn was hurt Tuesday when she was lifted into the air off a jump in the opening race at the championships. Upon landing, her right leg gave way and she spun down face first, throwing an arm out to protect herself. Vonn ended up on her back as she smashed through a gate. She received medical treatment on the snow before being airlifted by helicopter to a hospital in Schladming. A few days, later she flew home to Vail. This has been an injury- and illness-riddled season for Vonn. She took a monthlong break from the World Cup circuit to regain her strength after an intestinal illness that struck in November. When she returned, she looked like the Vonn of old as she steadily regained her form and won two races last month. Her win in the giant slalom at Maribor, Slovenia, on Jan. 26 was the 59th victory of her career. She’s three away from tying the women’s record held by Annemarie Moser-Proell of Austria. While her primary goal is to be ready for Sochi, Vonn ideally wants to be back for the World Cup speed races in Lake Louise, Alberta, in late November or early December. She’s been so successful there – winning 14 times – that it’s become known as “Lake Lindsey.” Comebacks hardly are new for Vonn, who has been plagued by injuries at her past six major championships – from a thumb she sliced on a champagne bottle at the 2009 worlds in Val d’Isere, France, to a bruised shin that she treated with the unorthodox remedy of Austrian cheese at the Vancouver Olympics.

Continued from page B1 Musick: Maybe Cutler can be the new face of the U.S. Postal Service. After all, a recent Nielsen/E-Poll confirmed that Cutler is more likeable than Lance Armstrong, rush-hour traffic and disease-carrying mosquitoes. As for his day job, I still think Cutler can lead the Bears to the Super Bowl. If Joe Flacco can do it in Baltimore, why not Cutler? Styf: Because Baltimore has an offensive line and more talent around Flacco. The Bears need a QB who can do more than Flacco. And Flacco is more of a game manager, not a risk-taker like Cutler (I mean, he proposed via mail, that’s a heck

of a risk). The Bears can’t get five new offensive linemen soon enough to help Cutler on this contract. They need to draft Cutler’s replacement now, have him play out his contract, then move on. The time has come to admit the trade was a mistake. Musick: You could turn out to be right. If Cutler shows no progress next season and makes bad decisions to go along with sloppy footwork, I’ll jump to your side of the fence, assuming you are near a fence. But Cutler has loads of talent, and maybe all he needs is proper coaching. Maybe Marc Trestman can be the teacher to help Cutler become a winner. Maybe we’ll be discussing Cutler’s contract extension at this time next year instead of mulling his replacement.

Rolland wins women’s downhill world title SCHLADMING, Austria – Marion Rolland of France beat all the favorites to win the world downhill title Sunday, mastering an icy course that left most of her rivals struggling to find the right race line. Rolland, who has yet to win a World Cup race after 15 top-10 finishes in downhill, earned her first medal at a major championship after charging down the 1.9-mile Streicher course in 1 minute, 50 seconds. Nadia Fanchini of Italy trailed Rolland by 0.16 seconds in second. Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany, who won the supercombined title Friday, was 0.7 back in third.

Freese gets $3.15M under 1-year deal with Cards ST. LOUIS – Former World Series MVP David Freese will earn $3.15 million under his oneyear contract with the St. Louis Cardinals, nearly six times the $518,000 he made last year. A St. Louis County native, Freese hit .283 with 20 home runs and 79 RBIs last season and earned his first All-Star appearance. He was eligible for arbitration for the first time. Freese, MVP of the 2011 World Series win over Texas, had asked for $3.75 million and had been offered $2.4 million when players and teams exchanged arbitration figures last month. Friday’s agreement made Freese the final player to settle among the three Cardinals who filed for arbitration.

The U.S. led 2-1 after Lepchenko beat Errani, 7-5, 6-2, in Sunday’s first reverse singles. But Vinci stopped Jamie Hampton, 6-2, 4-6, 6-1, to set up the crucial doubles in the best-offive World Group series.

Japan’s Mao Asada wins Four Continents skating By JIM ARMSTRONG The Associated Press OSAKA, Japan – Two-time world champion Mao Asada won figure skating’s Four Continents on Sunday, leading a Japanese sweep. After reintroducing her trademark triple axel in Saturday’s short program, Asada

was downgraded on the jump in Sunday’s free skate but was solid in her other elements to finish with 205.45 points. Akiko Suzuki was second with 190.08 points while Kanako Murakami finished third with 181.03. Christina Gao of the United States finished fourth while Li Zijun of China was fifth.

“The short program exceeded expectations and the free met my expectations,” said Asada, who skated to Tchaikovsky’s “Swan Lake.” ‘’I am happy I was able to challenge the triple axel and that has given me confidence.” Canadians Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford won the pairs event, with U.S.

champions Marissa Castelli and Simon Shnapir third. In the ice dance final, world silver medalists Meryl Davis and Charlie White of the U.S. won the gold medal. Americans Madison Chock and Evan Bates were third. Asada had been struggling with the triple axel since the Vancouver Olympics but was

able to win four events this season without it. She pulled it off to perfection Saturday when she finished first in the short program. Despite being downgraded on the jump Sunday, Asada plans to attempt it at the world championships in London, Ontario, next month, hoping to “build on the success I’ve had here.”

Mediate wins Champions Tour debut The ASSOCIATED PRESS BOCA RATON, Fla. – Rocco Mediate birdied the 18th hole and finished with a 1-under-par 71 to win the Allianz Championship on Sunday. He finished at 17-under 199 and became the 16th player to have a winning debut on the Champions Tour.

Mediate’s 4-foot birdie putt came after Tom Pernice Jr. missed a 5-footer at No. 18 that could have forced a playoff. Mediate started the day with a three-shot lead, lost it by the 14th hole, but regained it when Pernice bogeyed the par-4 17th from a greenside bunker. Mediate protected that lead with a birdie on the

par-5 closing hole. “I’m ecstatic,” Mediate said. “I have been saying all week it’s never easy. It shouldn’t be easy. I was prepared to make that putt (at No. 18), but I didn’t have to.”

PGA TOUR: PEBBLE BEACH NATIONAL PRO-AM

Snedeker finally gets his victory By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – With one last birdie, Brandt Snedeker finally had a chance to catch his breath at one of the best places in golf. He was on the 18th tee at Pebble Beach with a three-shot lead Sunday as he gazed into the sun at a seemingly endless ocean and tried to grasp just how far he has come in the past few months. There was that big win in the Tour Championship to claim the $10 million prize as the FedEx Cup champion. He played in his first Ryder Cup. In his past nine tournaments, he has six finishes in the top three, including back-to-back weeks as the runner-up to Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods. Snedeker wasn’t about to let anyone get in his way at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. “Just hard to put into words, to have a stretch of golf like I had the last couple of months,” Snedeker said after his two-shot win. “Something you dream about. Something you think that you can do, but you don’t really know until you actually put it together. And I have. “I’m really enjoying this, and hopefully can parlay this into the best year of my career.” He was the best all week at Pebble Beach, finishing at 19-under-par 267 to break the tournament record by one stroke. Mickelson (2007) and Mark O’Meara (1997) each had a 20-under 268 when Poppy Hills still was in the rotation. Snedeker built his lead in the final round by playing the first seven holes in 5-under, fired at the flag on the par-3 17th to set up his last birdie and closed with a 7-under 65, his 10th consecutive round in the 60s. A tap-in par on the 18th gave him a two-shot win over Chris

Kirk, who stayed in the hunt all day without ever putting too much pressure on Snedeker. The hottest player in golf, Snedeker finally has a trophy to show for it. “The last two weeks, playing great but running into two Hall of Famers, really motivated me to go out and prove that I can handle the lead,” he said. With his fifth career win – and fourth over the past 22 months – Snedeker improved to a career-best No. 4 in the world, making him the secondhighest American in the world ranking behind Woods. “Sneds is officially the best golfer on the planet right now,” Ian Poulter tweeted from home in Orlando, Fla. “Some serious golf he is playing.” In five starts this year, the 32-year-old from Nashville already has a win, two secondplace finishes and a third. He never had much of a chance against Woods at Torrey Pines or Mickelson at the Phoenix Open, who each had big leads going into the final round. Snedeker was tied with James Hahn, a 31-year-old rookie from the Bay Area, and seized control with an eagle and three birdies on the opening seven holes. Snedeker responded to his only bogey, a three-putt at No. 9, by rolling in birdie putts on the next two holes. Hahn looked forward to learning something from his debut in the final group, and he saw Snedeker put on a clinic. “I learned that he is a better guy than he is a golfer. The dude is world class,” Hahn said. “He’s obviously one of the best, if not the best golfer right now, and possibly for the last year. But how he conducts himself as a person on an off the golf course, that’s also world class. He deserved to win today. ... I’m sure if you ask him, it was never a doubt that he was going to win the golf tournament.”

Devils win 5th in a row The ASSOCIATED PRESS

PITTSBURGH – Ilya Kovalchuk and David Clarkson scored less than two minutes apart in the second period as the New Jersey Devils beat the Pittsburgh Penguins, 3-1, on Sunday night for their seasonhigh fifth straight win. It was the second time New Jersey beat Pittsburgh in as many games after the Devils ended the Penguins’ five-game winning streak in the first of installment of the home-and-

home series Saturday.

Goalie Corey Crawford got the Hawks’ first shutout of the season and the sixth of his career making 17 saves. The shutout ended a long drought for the Hawks and especially Crawford whose last shutout in the regular season was March 23, 2011. “However long, it was too long, and it was nice to get that for sure,” Keith said. With his teammates blocking 14 shots, Crawford had plenty of time to drift, especially for about a 21-minute span over the final half of the first period and midway to the second when he didn’t face a single shot. Asked when he was aware of how close he was to a shutout, Crawford said he knew with about 5 minutes left. “I didn’t want to think about it too much, but I knew about it,” Crawford said. Nashville lost a 2-1 overtime game at Minnesota on Saturday night. Back home to start a four-game homestand, the Predators had their 17th consecutive sold-out crowd.

Blackhawks forward Marcus Kruger tries to shoot as he falls in the third period of Sunday night’s game against the Predators in Nashville, Tenn. The Hawks won, 3-0. the net. Coach Barry Trotz said his Predators were a little tired, but didn’t work hard enough to get pucks up to the net. They missed their best chance at scoring when Nick Spaling’s backhander sent the puck sliding across the crease before hitting off the far post at 10:02 of the first period. Nashville managed only three shots on goal in the first. “We didn’t really challenge them very well,” Nashville forward Mike Fisher said. “It wasn’t our A-game no ques-

tion. They run and gun a little bit more and they bury them when they can like they did tonight.” The Hawks had the advantage of a couple days off after a 6-2 win Thursday at Phoenix, and they had plenty of fans on hand as they took the first of five games between these Central Division rivals this shortened season. They got some nice payback after going 2-4-0 against Nashville in losing last season’s series, their first series loss to the Predators since 2006-07.

For the better part of my life; I purposely avoided a lot of foods. Especially o฀es with eve฀ a ti฀y bit of seaso฀i฀g.

"I was beside myself. What was I go฀฀a do? Keep taki฀g the pills, or suffer with problems that could ultimately be my demise”. Doctors put me o฀ all sorts of a฀tacid remedies. But ฀othi฀g worked. Or if they did, it would o฀ly be for a brief period. A฀d the฀ boom! My ฀ightmare would retur฀. Sometimes, I felt like I was dyi฀g. The pai฀ was u฀bearable a฀d ฀othi฀g could make it stop. But the฀ my wife, who occasio฀ally suffered with the same problem; gave me o฀e of her prescriptio฀ acid blockers. It was a miracle. I felt like I could live agai฀. Because before that, I was just miserable. I wa฀ted to kill myself. But tha฀kfully, it worked, a฀d worked well. I felt great, u฀til about o฀e year ago; whe฀ I read a฀ FDA war฀i฀g that scared the heck out of me. It we฀t somethi฀g like this… FDA WARNING! Usi฀g proto฀ pump i฀hibitors (PPIs) o฀ a lo฀g term basis, i฀creases your risk of hip, bo฀e a฀d spi฀al fractures. That's a particular co฀cer฀ to me, si฀ce ma฀y acid blockers are PPI's. I've go฀e through two back surgeries a฀d bilateral hip replaceme฀ts. I had to ask myself, could PPI's have bee฀ respo฀sible for my medical woes? After all...

“The Recomme฀ded Treatme฀t for Prilosec®, Prevacid® a฀d Other PPI's is O฀ly 14-DAYS,

I Took Them for 14 YEARS!”

I was “betwee฀ a rock a฀d a hard place”. Stop usi฀g the PPIs a฀d I'm a “dead ma฀ i฀ the water”. It would be u฀bearable. I would฀'t be able to eat a฀ythi฀g. I’d have to go o฀ a water diet. But that FDA war฀i฀g was scary. I k฀ew I had to stop or else risk developi฀g spi฀al ste฀osis. My mother had that. A฀d I watched her die a horrible death. Her spi฀e just fractured. It was the worst death. She did฀'t deserve that. A฀d ฀either do I.

“Every time I ate somethi฀g that did฀'t agree with me… I’d get what I called ‘Rot Gut’ — like my stomach was rotti฀g out!” I had to quit. So I stopped taki฀g PPI's for a day or so. But my i฀digestio฀ was worse tha฀ ever. I would rather take the cha฀ce of a spi฀al fracture tha฀ to live like that agai฀. I tried everythi฀g. Eve฀ started usi฀g home remedies like Apple cider vi฀egar. But it just felt like I was pouri฀g eve฀ more acid dow฀ my throat. The฀ o฀e day at di฀฀er, a frie฀d of mi฀e said "why do฀'t you try a฀ aloe dri฀k?" I said "aloe dri฀k"? Jeez. That does฀'t sou฀d good at all!” The ฀ext day he brought me a case of somethi฀g called A฀oeCure®. I was skeptical, but I was desperate! So i฀stead of bei฀g a฀ i฀grate I decided to try it. I was shocked! A฀oeCure®. Tasted pretty good too. It has a pleasa฀t grape flavor that I actually e฀joy dri฀ki฀g. I decided to experime฀t. I stopped taki฀g the PPI's altogether a฀d replaced it with a daily diet of A฀oeCure®. The฀ somethi฀g remarkable happe฀ed… NOTHING! Not eve฀ the slightest hi฀t of i฀digestio฀.

ADVICE

Northwest Herald / NWHerald.com

Be a sweetheart and reach out to someone who’s lonely Dear Abby: Valentine’s Day is approaching, and I wanted to write concerning those of us who are single by choice, by circumstance, because of the death of a spouse or divorce. This holiday was set aside to celebrate love and lovers, but it can be a lonely time for people who find themselves without a significant other. Valentine’s Day is so commercialized that one is bombarded by ads for gifts, candy, etc., from every angle, which only enforces one’s aloneness. The message is subtly sent – but received loud and clear – that an individual without a partner is worthless. I would like to urge your readers this year to include

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips those who are alone through divorce or widowhood in their celebration of this day. Make it a day on which they, too, can feel special, loved, and a part of things rather than isolated, forgotten and alone. And don’t stop there. All holidays can be lonely for those who have lost loved ones. Include these people in your holiday plans. You will be blessed by sharing, and they will be uplifted to know someone cares. – Solo

In Texas Dear Solo: Thank you for

your letter. Readers, if you’re feeling down because you don’t have a special valentine, the surest cure for the blues is to do something for someone else. Call someone who’s alone to say, “I’m thinking about you.” If you know someone who’s in a nursing home, take some flowers. Put your discarded items in a box and call your favorite charity. Donate some blood. Listen to your teenager. Tell your parents you think they’re great. Forgive an enemy. Send a donation to a food program that benefits the needy. And if you love someone, tell him or her NOW; please don’t wait until next Valentine’s Day to be a sweetheart again.

Leave rules for child home alone

Dear Dr. K: My husband and I work full time, and we have a daughter in middle school. Is it safe for her to be alone after school until we get home from work? Dear Reader: By middle school, your child may be resisting the idea of a baby sitter or after-school program, yet you may not feel comfortable leaving her home by herself. By the age of 11 or 12 – middle school – some children can stay home alone safely for up to a few hours. Every child matures at a different rate, so it’s not just age that matters in making your decision. To stay alone safely at home, your child must be mature enough to handle any potential emergency or stressful situation that may arise. In addition, she should be able to understand and follow important instructions. If you leave your child home alone: •฀Make฀sure฀she฀knows฀how฀ to reach you. Post a phone number where you can be reached at all times, along with emergency numbers. Include the number of a trusted adult, in case you are not

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff available. •฀Have฀your฀child฀check฀in฀ with you when she first gets home and then regularly until you get home. •฀Teach฀your฀child฀basic฀ safety rules: – Do not enter your home if a door isn’t closed all the way, a window is open or broken, or a strange car is in the driveway. – Keep all windows and doors locked. – Call 911 in case of emergency. – In case of fire, get out of the house as quickly as possible. Call for help from a neighbor’s house. – Never let anyone into the home without your permission. – Never let a caller on the phone know there is no adult home. – Do not use the stove, oven, microwave, space heaters or other heat-producing

appliances while home alone, unless specifically given permission to do so. •฀Make฀sure฀your฀child฀ knows her full name, phone number with area code and address, including city and state. One Saturday long ago, I was called by a woman who told me she had a problem with her middle-school-aged son. The boy had gotten mad at another kid at school the day before and kept talking about it all day. The woman had left her son at home for several hours and returned to find that he had set the mattress of his bed on fire. I asked her, “Was your son burned?” She replied, “No, he’s fine.” “So how can I help you?” I asked. “I need your advice, doctor. Should I spank him?” That’s a child who needs a few more years before he’s left at home alone – and a mother who needs to help her child deal better with frustration.

Dear Abby: I have had an embarrassing problem ever since grammar school. I bite my nails and cuticles until they bleed. If the pain is severe, or I see a piece of cuticle hanging, I stop until it heals. But then I start up again. How can quit this ugly habit? – Manic In Grandview, Mo. Dear Manic: You have a problem that I’m told is shared by one in 12 adults. There is more than one solution for it, and the common denominator in all of them is MOTIVATION. Some helpful suggestions submitted by readers in years past: (1) “What helped me to finally stop at age 45 was that I sat down and tried to figure out why I kept biting my

nails. I finally realized it was because I couldn’t stand the feel of a rough nail catching on the fabric of my clothing. “Now I keep emery boards, from coarse to fine, beside my favorite chair, in my purse, in my glove compartment and by my bed. If I feel a snag, I immediately smooth the offending nail. It has eliminated my need to bite.” (2) “My high school teacher included some interesting lessons in personal hygiene in his biology class. One day, he asked us to scrape under our fingernails and look at what we removed under a microscope. Seeing face to face what had collected under there was enough to stop me from biting my nails.

I haven’t chewed them in nearly 30 years.” (3) “What stopped me was a job I landed as a teenager. I became an usher at a movie theater. My job required wearing a uniform, including white gloves. Not long after I landed the job, I noticed I had nice nails. The gloves were what did it.” (4) “Finally, when I was in my 30s, I asked my doctor to suggest a cure. He talked to me about obsessive-compulsive disorder and prescribed a low dose of a very safe drug used by people with O.C.D. In three weeks, my nail-biting stopped for good.”

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

Jay Leno said, “Major League Baseball has asked its players to stop tossing baseballs into the stands during games, because they say fans ight over them and they get hurt. In fact, the Florida Marlins said that’s why they never hit any home runs. It’s a safety issue.” I assume that was produced by a scriptwriter -but no doubt Leno’s delivery was equally important. Unless you are in an event where overtricks can be important (pairs or board-a-match), you should play your contracts as safely as possible. And if you succeed in a particularly tough deal, it will feel like a home run. This three-no-trump contract would result in an out for many declarers at the table. How should South play after West leads the club nine? North’s three-heart rebid promised ive or more spades, four or more hearts and at least game-forcing values. (However, if North had six spades and only game interest, he might have jumped straight to four spades, keeping his heart suit hidden.) West did not want to

lead! Eventually he chose the unbid suit. South has eight top tricks: three spades, one diamond and four clubs. And those spades will surely provide at least one extra winner. But if declarer cashes his spade ace and plays a spade to dummy’s queen, he is called out -his contract has no chance. Instead, South should inesse dummy’s spade 10 on the second round. When it wins, he rounds the bases to home. But even if the 10 loses to a potential jack with East, dummy’s three remaining spades will be high and a run will be scored.

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - In the year ahead, you might finally be able to resolve an important issue that has stymied everyone. Once you figure it out, things will work out advantageously for all. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- When it comes to competitive situations, the secret to success is to be more dedicated than your competitors. You understand that hard work generates good luck. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- We can always learn something of value from others, if we keep our minds open. You can gain some extremely valuable information from a very unexpected source. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A number of great opportunities will develop through your own efforts and those of others. Don’t be concerned over who authors what. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you are putting together a social agenda that involves new people, you might still want to include a friend of long standing. She or he could be helpful to your cause. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You’re apt to be far better at handling certain challenges than your peers, so don’t hesitate to step forward and take the reins if you see others fumbling. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Should an opportunity arise, take the time to help a friend who is always critical of others to see the good in people. It can’t hurt to try. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You might have to deal with some changes that are being initiated by external forces. Don’t be too quick to get upset -- instead, use your smarts to find a way to offset them. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- An alliance that you establish with an older or more experienced person is likely to work out quite well for both of you. He or she has the know-how, while you have fresh ideas. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It’ll benefit you to devote most of your time and energy to situations that could pay off well. The gains involved could be larger than usual. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You could be much more effective participating in a leadership role than you would doing the grunt work. If you see everyone floundering, step out of the pack and offer some direction. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Things have a way of working out to everyone’s advantage at present, so don’t get disturbed over early, unpromising indicators. It’s the final results that count. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Although some of your companions might overlook advantages that can be gained from unfamiliar sources, you won’t. Your analytical powers will be hard at work.
