Rauner shares his vision for state Governor hopeful talks business, education, concealed carry in Nunda Township

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com McHENRY – Speaking in front of a small group Monday, Bruce Rauner shared his vision for the state.

Rauner, who is running for the Republican nomination for

governor, spoke at a Nunda Township Republican Party meeting.

Rauner said he wants to restore the business climate, increase economic growth in the state, work on state government’s effectiveness, efficiency and transparency, and improve

state education. He also wants term limits placed on elected officials.

He said he would challenge unions to fix the state’s financial woes.

“We have to have a reasonable negotiation on their pay levels, pensions and benefits and work

rules; it’s a contract negotiation,” Rauner said.

Rauner, who ran a venture capital firm until October, said he wants to clean up corruption in state government.

“That’s what we got to take on,” Rauner said. “Springfield is controlled by special-interest

groups that make money from government, that make their money from the taxpayers.”

Rauner, whose campaign announced Monday it had raised $915,000 during the second quarter and $2.2 million overall, said

‘Gut,’ research valuable on hunt for assisted living Long-term care has many facets

Levels of care

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Chuck Chamberlain had to be persuaded to move into assisted living.

But with an artificial hip and on crutches, he and his wife, Joyce, needed help preparing meals and other day-to-day activities, said one of their sons, Dick Chamberlain of McHenry.

“They needed somebody to watch over them,” added Dick Chamberlain’s wife, Linda.

The Chamberlains started shopping around, looking for

a place where they could bring their belongings – particularly important for Joyce, who had memory problems – and a place where they’d be comfortable and the staff was friendly.

They decided on Fox Point

Independent & Assisted Living in McHenry, where the couple had their own apartment with some home care assistance for about two years.

At-home care: Nonmedical home care providers come into the home to help with housework and personal care. Some providers also offer nursing services.

Assisted living: Depending on the assisted-living facility, the range of care a resident can receive varies. Some are mostly contained to light assistance.

Others provide heavier care or have delved into memory care.

The amount of care a resident needs affects the price.

Skilled care: Patients receive 24/7 nursing care unlike at assisted living, where the staff isn’t necessarily certified.

Science justifies male immaturity OK guys, this column is about to turn into the greatest thing you ever read. Sorry, ladies. I would say, “read it and weep,” but I’m too busy snickering.

Let’s begin with some questions for you wives: Do you feel that your husband is a bit on the immature side?

Are you getting tired of waiting for him to finally grow up? At times do you feel you have another child rather than a spouse?

Well, if you answered “yes” to any of those questions, you are not alone.

And if you answered “yes” to all of them, you are not only not alone, you are not alone in spades. In fact, if you wish there were more questions about male immaturity that you’d like to answer “yes” to, then welcome to the “International Wives of Immature Silly Husbands,” or “I WISH” for short.

It used to be that we husbands would cringe at the word “immature.”

We’d wince at the term “childish.”

We’d flinch at hearing our spouses say, “Honey, I don’t find that sound the least bit funny.” But alas, sweet wives, there will be no more cringing or winc-

8LOTTERY

JUST HUMOR ME Michael Penkava ing or flinching on our part. That’s because science finally has justified male immaturity.

I don’t need to go into the graphic details, but some British scientists have discovered that wives reach emotional maturity way before men.

Women get it all together at age 32. But us men? We have to wait until a whopping 11 years later, until age 43, before we have a chance at any semblance of maturity.

The implications of this study are quite profound. First of all, it’s obvious that women have a definite maturity advantage. I’m thinking that they have some unique female hereditary gene, like the one that gives them the ability to have babies, which blesses them with a special natural ability that we men can only dream we had. Yep, they get to be mature right away, and we must suffer what I call “Delayed Un-

derdeveloped Maturational Behavior.”

(Nevermind the acronym.)

And speaking about delay, we have to wait 11 years for any hope of catching up with our wives. Have you ever waited 11 years for anything? It’s like, forever. I once waited a decade for the chance to be in the audience on Bozo’s Circus, but I was 18 before my name finally came up … forget Bozo … I wanted to be a member of the Partridge Family.

So while we men are waiting and dreaming of becoming mature, it’s easy to become discouraged. And when the 11 years are finally up, you can’t blame us for missing our big chance. Besides, if you women have waited 43 years for us to grow up, you’re probably used to us the way we are. After all, you married us in our disadvantaged hereditary immature state, right?

But there’s more, and to me this is the best part. According to the study, 80 percent of the women believe their husbands would never stop being childish. That means eight out of every 10 women accept us as we are and still

love us. Add to that the 40 percent who felt male immaturity was important in their relationship because it “ensures the partnership stays fun and keeps things fresh.” That makes 120 percent positive in favor of us giggling at the passing of gas, spontaneously doing crazy dance moves, not eating our vegetables and wearing superhero pajamas.

So, ladies, you cannot argue with science. You cannot dispute natural laws. As much as we men would love to grow up, it would appear that the odds are stacked against us. We’re victims of nature. And, since you married us, it appears so are you. So now can we go to Toys R Us and check out their new skateboards?

Officials at Blank Park Zoo say the male wallabies, also known as boomers, didn’t get very far during their Sunday night walkabout. Three of the kangaroo-like mammals were captured within hours and the fourth was picked up Monday morning.

Several workers were needed to surround and catch the marsupials. They never left the grounds of the zoo. A zoo spokesman said none of the wallabies were hurt during their adventure.

Report assails Pakistani officials over bin Laden

By SEBASTIAN ABBOT The Associated Press ISLAMABAD – Al-Qaida founder Osama bin Laden was able to live in Pakistan undetected for nine years because of a breathtaking scale of negligence and incompetence at practically all levels of the Pakistani government, according to an official government report published by a TV channel on Monday.

The 336-page report was written by a commission tasked with investigating the circumstances surrounding the covert U.S. raid that killed

that bin Laden enjoyed in Pakistan, other than the group of family and backers that lived with him in Abbottabad.

The report lambasted all levels of government, including the powerful army and intelligence services, for failing to detect the terror leader as he lived in six different places in Pakistan over nine years.

“To summarize, negligence and incompetence to a greater or lesser degree at almost all levels of government are clear,” said the report, which was based on testimony from more than 200 witnesses, official documents and site visits.

The fact that the compound where bin Laden was hiding was located only about half a mile from Pakistan’s equivalent of West Point led many in the U.S. to suspect Pakistani officials of aiding the al-Qaida chief, although Washington never found evidence to back that up.

Quinn ready for Springfield ‘showdown’ on gun bill

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn predicted a “showdown” in Springfield over his proposed changes to a concealed-carry bill. However, there was little indication from lawmakers and legislative leaders a day ahead of Tuesday’s vote that they’d do much more than reject his demands.

For days, Quinn has been pushing for his alterations to a bill that would make Illinois the last in the nation to allow

concealed carry of weapons in public, something the state must do by Tuesday to meet a court-mandated deadline.

The Chicago Democrat recently highlighted Chicago’s violence at churches, parades and outside Wrigley Field by linking the rash of recent shootings to the need for tougher gun laws.

He urged the same Monday after signing two bills dealing with gang-related crime on Chicago’s West Side, saying lawmakers shouldn’t “override common sense” set out in his proposal.

“There will be a showdown in Springfield,” he told the crowd.

While Quinn’s changes – which include a one-gun limit and no guns in establishments that serve alcohol – have been embraced by Chicago’s anti-violence advocates, they’ve received a cold reception from lawmakers.

Many were angered that Quinn waited a month after receiving the bill to make his changes and accused him of pandering to voters. Quinn, who’s running for re-election, faces some potentially

high-profile challengers from his own party.

Both chambers were set to meet Tuesday, and legislative leaders on both sides of the aisle expected to caucus before an anticipated vote to override Quinn.

A sponsor of the bill, state Rep. Brandon Phelps, said Quinn’s late changes put Illinois at risk of “going off the cliff” and not meeting the July 9 deadline.

“Why would the governor want to put people in that predicament?” the Harrisburg Democrat asked. “That’s the

problem with what he’s doing. I don’t think he understands what he’s doing.”

Illinois must comply with a federal appeals court deadline after the state’s ban on concealed carry was ruled unconstitutional in December.

The original bill, which came out of months of negotiations, would allow the Illinois State Police to issue a concealed-carry permit to a gun owner with a Firearm Owners Identification card who passes a background check, pays a fee and undergoes training.

The bill passed both the House and Senate with the support of more than the three-fifths majorities needed to override Quinn’s changes.

There’s little agreement about what will happen if there’s no law by Tuesday.

Some say it means that anyone can carry a gun anywhere; others say it will prompt local municipalities to enact their own ordinances.

Still, Phelps said one possible outlet for Quinn’s suggested changes might be a trailer bill at a later date.

Ill. lawmakers continue hunt for pension crisis fix

The wreckage of Asiana Flight 214 lies on the ground Saturday after it crashed at the San Francisco International Airport. The pilot at the controls of the airliner had just 43 hours of flight time in the Boeing 777 and was landing one for the first time at San Francisco International.

Investigators turn to cockpit decisions National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Deborah Hersman said investigators watched airport surveillance video to determine whether an emergency vehicle ran over one of the students, but they have not reached any firm conclusions.

The students had been seated in the rear of the aircraft, where many of the most seriously injured passengers were seated, Hersman said.

The NTSB also said part of the jet’s tail section was found in San Francisco Bay, and debris from the seawall was carried several hundred feet down the runway, indicating the plane hit the seawall on its approach.

Investigators have said Flight 214 was flying “signifi-

cantly below” its target speed during approach when the crew tried to abort the landing just before the plane smashed onto the runway.

Authorities do not yet know whether the pilot’s inexperience with the Boeing 777 and landing it at San Francisco’s airport played a role.

The airline acknowledged Monday in Seoul that the pilot at the controls had little experience flying that type of plane and was landing one for the first time at that airport.

Asiana spokeswoman Lee Hyomin said pilot Lee Gangguk had logged nearly 10,000 hours operating other planes but had only 43 hours in the 777, a plane she said he still was getting used to flying.

Chicago police turn to Twitter to battle crime

Crash victims thought to be from S. Carolina

CHICAGO – Chicago Police on Monday rolled out changes to a community policing program they hope will turn residents’ cellphones into crime fighting tools that can be used to provide anonymous tips to help officers catch criminals – and stem the kind of bloodshed that marred the recent holiday weekend.

During a news conference at which he was peppered with questions about a weekend that left 11 people shot to death and several dozen more wounded, Superintendent Garry McCarthy said residents will be able to come forward anonymously with tips and the police officers who get that information will never know where it originated.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – An air taxi that crashed and burned at a small Alaska airport, killing all 10 people onboard, was believed to be carrying nine passengers from South Carolina to a fishing lodge, authorities said Monday.

The victims also included the pilot of the de Havilland DHC3 Otter that went down shortly after 11 a.m. Sunday at the airport in Soldotna, about 75 miles southwest of Anchorage on the Kenai Peninsula, authorities said.

born. He oversaw the “Texas Miracle” job-creation boom and became the state’s most powerful governor since Reconstruction. But nationally, Perry is known for his ‘oops’ presidential debate brain freeze or for not opposing forcefully enough the notion that Texas could secede from the union. For many outside the Lone Star State, he’s a political punchline on par with Dan Quayle – if he’s known at all.

Now, the longest-serving governor in Texas history is quitting his day job. Perry announced Monday that he won’t seek a fourth full term in office next year, but notably didn’t say whether another run for the White House in 2016 could be next.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO – Investigators trying to understand why Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crash landed focused Monday on decisions made in the cockpit of the giant jet, where an experienced pilot was learning his way around a new aircraft and fellow pilots were supposed to be monitoring his actions.

Authorities also reviewed the initial rescue efforts after fire officials acknowledged that one of their trucks may have run over one of the two Chinese teenagers killed in the crash at San Francisco International Airport. The students were the accident’s only two fatalities.

SPRINGFIELD – A bipartisan panel of Illinois lawmakers reported minor progress Monday in negotiations over the state’s nearly $100 billion pension crisis, even as another deadline set by Gov. Pat Quinn was set to lapse without a solution.

In a small step forward, the 10-member group prepared to seek a more comprehensive analysis of a university-backed retirement funding proposal after meeting Monday. Quinn gave the committee a Tuesday deadline, but lawmakers have said they won’t meet it “We’re just brainstorming now,” said state Rep. Darlene Senger, a Naperville Republican. “It’s really all about the numbers at this point.”

Lawmakers moved to form the 10-member committee – with members appointed by legislative leaders in each chamber – after a compromise couldn’t be reached last month. The panel had invited Quinn to speak at Monday’s

hearing, its third overall and the first in Springfield. But declined, saying committee members know where he stands and that his budget office will speak on his behalf.

Presenting were representatives from three of the state’s retirement systems – the Teachers’ Retirement System, State Universities Retirement System and State Retirement System – and the governor’s budget director, Jerry Stermer.

State Rep. Mike Fortner, a West Chicago Republican, went over his own separate proposal that would require bond payments to be redirected to the state’s pension fund once bonds mature. The plan also would increase employee contributions and cap pension benefits.

State Rep. Elaine Nekritz, a leading pension negotiator, said after the meeting the committee likely will send a proposal supported by university presidents off for an analysis of what it would ultimately cost the state. That number crunching process could take several weeks.

The plan, advanced by the Institute of Government and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois, requires workers to pay more toward their retirement and links cost-ofliving increases to inflation. It also shifts the employer pension contribution – currently paid by the state – to the schools over time, and guarantees the state will make its full annual payment to eliminate the pension debt.

Some lawmakers see the proposal as a framework to build on to move past a divide over dueling pension plans supported by House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton, both Chicago Democrats. The House-backed plan, which would come with significant cost savings, imposes acrossthe-board changes to pension recipients and raises the retirement age.

The Senate plan would give workers a choice in the benefits they’d receive upon retirement, and supporters say it would have a better chance of passing constitutional muster.

8NATION BRIEF No cutoff in U.S. aid to Egyptian military WASHINGTON – The Obama administration signaled Monday that U.S. national security interests will trump its promotion of Egypt’s budding democracy, stressing the

importance of continued aid to the Egyptian military, which overthrew the elected president last week.

As violence blazed between security forces and supporters of ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, the White

House and State Department both urged the military to exercise “maximum restraint.”

They also said the military would not be punished with a cutoff of its $1.3 billion in annual U.S. aid for toppling Morsi.

Rauner: Ill. overdue for concealed-carry law • RAUNER Continued from page A1 he is not looking to be a career elected official.

“I want to drive results for the taxpayers,” Rauner said.

“I want to be so proud to go to work for you and transform our government and become a growth state again.”

Andrew Gasser asked Rauner about his stance on concealed carry and magazine limits. Rauner said he

is a longtime gun owner and avid hunter.

“Illinois is way overdue to have a concealed-carry law,” he said.

But he would not go into detail about his thoughts on magazine sizes for weapons.

On education, Rauner said he wants to see vouchers, merit pay for teachers and principals, more charter schools and expanded school choice.

He said he has worked with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel on some issues because he

was willing to battle the teachers union and the service employees union.

Rauner said economic growth is the most important thing a governor could work on. He said he would want to change corporate taxes, individual income taxes, labor regulations and workers’ compensation structure because “they are driving companies out of the state.”

“It’s going to take some very creative hardball negotiating,” he said.

One victim remains in the hospital • STABBING Continued from page A1 Bell is being held in the Tuscaloosa County Jail.

When and whether he will be transported back to McHenry County is undetermined, Crystal Lake Police Cmdr.

Dan Dziewior said.

Bell allegedly stabbed a 28-year-old woman and her

23-year-old boyfriend. They were taken to area hospitals in critical condition and underwent surgery. The woman since has been released from the hospital, but the man remains in the hospital and is stable, according to the police department.

The names of the victims were not released by the police department.

The McHenry County Ma-

jor Investigations Assistance Team has helped in the investigation.

According to the police department, Bell drove a red Honda Accord with Illinois license plate 5566117 after the incident. The car has yet to be recovered. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the car is asked to call the Crystal Lake Police Department at 815-356-3620.

Committee proposed 49 rules changes How they voted

• RULES Continued from page A1 members can discuss the recommended changes.

The two opportunities are in recognition of the significance of the proposed changes, said committee Chairwoman Paula Yensen, D-Lake in the Hills. The committee proposed 49 rules changes, about 10 of which are aimed at curtailing the power of the County Board chairman.

“These are very profound changes, and I think this will give an opportunity for all County Board members to weigh in on it,” Yensen said.

Changes aimed at the chairman include imposing term limits, abolishing the authority to appoint chairmanships of the board’s 11 standing committees and limiting the power to appoint to boards and commissions. Another set of significant changes would abolish two standing committees.

The Management Services Committee, which is tasked with reviewing County Board rules after each November election, began its review in February. The sole opposing vote came from committee member Anna May Miller, R-Cary, who said she had deep opposition to many of the changes aimed at the chairman’s power. She alleged that many of the changes are motivated by personality conflicts rather than good government.

She first took aim at limiting the chairman and vice chairman, who are elected by the board, to no more than three consecutive two-year terms. State law does not grant counties such authority, according to the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office.

“I cannot support term limits when it’s not even legal,”

The McHenry County Board Management Services Committee voted Monday, 5-1, to advance 49 proposed changes to County Board rules for an August vote.

The County Board will get a presentation on the changes before its July 16 meeting, and will discuss them in a Committee of the Whole meeting tentatively set for Aug. 2, prior to voting on the changes Aug. 6.

Committee member Anna May Miller, R-Cary, cast the sole opposing vote. Member Michael Skala, R-Huntley, was absent.

Miller said.

Committee member Michael Walkup, R-Crystal Lake, said his support for the new measures has been based on a need for reform, not personality clashes.

“I speak for myself, but I walked into this job feeling that the structure needed to be changed. Dramatically,” Walkup said.

Term limits have been an issue for several years during the reign of former Chairman Ken Koehler, who in December lost his bid for a fifth two-year term to present Chairwoman Tina Hill, R-Woodstock. Calls to make the chairmanship popularly elected – as is done in DuPage and Kane counties – culminated last year in an unsuccessful referendum to change to a county-executive form of government.

More changes further chip away at the chairman’s incumbency by taking away the power to appoint the chairmanships of the County Board’s standing committees.

Critics on the County Board long have alleged that the current system heavily favors the

incumbent chairman, who can secure all but one of the votes needed for re-election with the power to choose the chairmen of the board’s 11 standing committees.

Another change removes the chairman’s power to appoint the Committee on Committees that sets assignments for new members after each election. Under the proposed change, the four members from each of the County Board’s six districts would choose their representative.

Miller said she opposed taking the power to appoint the committee away from the chairman, arguing Hill wanted diverse viewpoints when she convened the committee by appointing one Democrat – Yensen – and newly elected member Mary McClellan, R-Holiday Hills.

“That’s the rightful role of the leader to make that choice,” Miller said.

The chairman’s power over the committee process and appointments came into question earlier this year because of a controversy surrounding an appointment to the McHenry County Mental Health Board, which has come under fire over its size and spending practices.

A reform-oriented committee’s pick to fill a vacancy was overwhelmingly defeated by the County Board, prompting Hill to advance her own candidate. The Public Health and Human Services Committee made another selection, but Hill exercised her prerogative to not bring him forward for a vote. County Board members approved Hill’s candidate.

Miller also opposed eliminating the Human Resources and Building Projects committees, the duties of both being absorbed by Management Services under proposed changes.

Facility ratings can be found online • CARE Continued from page A1 But one Sunday afternoon while Chuck Chamberlain was reading the newspaper, he was in sudden, excruciating pain. A doctor at Centegra Hospital – McHenry told him he needed surgery immediately.

After that, he needed fulltime nursing care, not the mostly independent-assisted living he had at Fox Point.

He was on a feeding tube for more than a year.

The family started looking again, and Chuck Chamberlain eventually moved to Fair Oaks Health Care Center in Crystal Lake.

“This place is great,” he said. “They’ve got the finest help. It’s just great help. I can’t say a bad word about any of them. In fact, I call them my angels. I know they work hard. They’ve got a tough job. It’s not easy taking care of a bunch of old geezers.”

Knowing what to look for The Chamberlains have been on the search multiple times, not just with their parents, but with their grandparents, too.

When they visited Fair Oaks, Dick Chamberlain said he just knew “in his gut” the care was good.

There are questions to ask and things to look for, but a lot of it comes down to that gut instinct, Fair Oaks administrator Joyce Surdick said.

“My advice to the family: You have to go in there and make sure it’s someplace you’d want to live,” she said.

“It’s the best indicator.”

Families should look at the staffing ratio, atmosphere and whether residents appear clean and happy, Surdick said. All facilities that accept Medicare have to offer the same things, so it really comes down to where the family is most comfortable.

Tips for visiting • Is it clean? Look into corners, baseboards and windows. Ask how often housekeeping comes.

• Are there any smells? Ask what caused them because it could indicate a problem or a onetime incident.

• Check the event calendar and see how well the events are attended.

• Watch how staff interacts with residents. Do they listen and make eye contact? Do you feel welcome?

• Look at the residents. Do they look clean and well-groomed?

• Check into safety measures.

What happens if there is an emergency? How does a resident contact staff if something happens in their room or apartment?

About two years ago, Dick Hattan, the director of development and marketing for Hearthstone Communities in Woodstock, had to find long-term skilled care for his mother in the Naperville area.

He decided to go on a visit on a Sunday afternoon because he knew management wouldn’t be there and figured he would get a better idea of what the place was really like.

Hattan recommended talking with family members who are there visiting and asking to see the book of Illinois Department of Public Health surveys kept at the front desk. It contains the findings from the department’s last visit and any violations.

These records also are available at www.idph.state. il.us/webapp/LTCApp/ltc. jsp.

Families should look for problems related to care – such as missed medications – or issues of dignity – including people not being called by their name or not knocking on doors before entering rooms, Hattan said.

Facilities that accept Medicare or Medicaid also are ranked at the Medicare Nursing Home Finder, www.medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare.

Rating systems have their flaws, Surdick said, because one thing – especially for centers with smaller populations – can send the star rating plummeting.

Surdick had to go through the process when her mother needed a nursing home.

“I lost all the administrative brain,” she said. “I just became a family member.”

How to pay for it The cost of these communities can induce sticker shock, said Paula Skweres, a senior care consultant with Elderwerks. It’s not unusual to see $6,000 a month for long-term, skilled care.

The company walks families through the search process, providing them with questions to ask and connecting them with movers, financial consultants and estate sale planners as needed.

Medicare does not cover ongoing long-term care, only on a temporary basis after being released from a hospital.

Quite a few skilled communities will accept Medicaid, but many of these communities have a private-pay component, meaning the resident pays for a year or two before Medicaid can kick in, Skweres said.

She recommends looking into reputable, long-term care insurance.

That’s what the Chamberlains had.

While the financial side was still a concern, Dick Chamberlain said, their long-term care insurance meant that as long as they could prove a need for assisted living, it covered 60 percent of the cost.

“It’s a tough choice,” he said. “You know eventually the money is going to go.”

Waiting on Quinn to lead Lawmakers on Tuesday will blow past at least the sixth deadline Gov. Pat Quinn has set for them regarding having a solid plan for pension reform.

That they will do so isn’t much of a shock.

Nobody in Springfield has acted urgently enough to fix the issue that affects every aspect of Illinois’ financial sustainability. The people whom voters in Illinois have elected For the record into office should be ashamed of Gov. Pat Quinn is not a how far they’ve leader. He’s demonstrated allowed this situthat throughout this process. ation to spiral out He holds no influence with of control. lawmakers.

But the bulk of the blame for Illinois not having a pension-reform solution when the sun sets Tuesday falls squarely on Quinn.

Quinn is not a leader. He’s demonstrated that throughout this process. He holds no influence with lawmakers in Illinois, and that makes leading and getting things done incredibly hard.

Quinn, publicly, has not provided any specifics on what his vision of pension reform looks like. The furthest he’s gone in that regard is expressing his preference for House Speaker Michael Madigan’s plan over the dueling plan of Senate President John Cullerton.

Quinn had the opportunity to provide specifics to the bipartisan committee recently formed to tackle pension reform. It invited him to speak at Monday’s meeting. Quinn declined.

That’s par for the course. If Quinn were a leader, he’d be at every one of these committee meetings. He’d call out lawmakers who have been obstacles. He’d publicly campaign for specific solutions.

“It’s a bit irresponsible to arbitrarily select a day when you’re not the one who has to sit there and crunch the numbers. You’re not the one showing any leadership,” said state Sen. Kwame Raoul, a Democrat who leads the pension-reform committee.

Voters elected Quinn to lead this state. Leaders get involved, work to find solutions, hold people accountable and get results. We’re still waiting for Quinn to do what we need him to do.

8IT’S YOUR WRITE Fetzer best for chief To the Editor: Since I have been out of town for the last month-and-a-half, I have just recently learned that the village of Cary has decided to retain a consultant to find a new chief of police.

Can anyone explain to me why they need to spend this money when they already have a wonderful candidate in the acting chief Ed Fetzer?

I believe he is the person who should be the chief, and stop with the consultants. We don’t need them.

Student-loan interest rates Congress squandered a year of potential progress on student-loan interest rates. The result of its inaction was a sharp rise in rates.

Rates on federally subsidized Stafford loans jumped from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent, essentially slapping a $1,000 tax increase on students.

A financial hit to 7 million undergraduates can be reversed. If Congress passes a temporary extension to the lower rate by the end of July, the rate hike would be reversed.

Just do it, Congress. Strong options include a proposal to freeze rates for one year and a bill to hold it at 3.4 percent for two years.

Families do not need interest rates that rise and fall from year to year. They need affordability and consistency.

Real bravery To the Editor: It’s curious to me that so-called American Patriots love to describe the United States as the “land of the free; home of the brave.”

Since Sept. 11, and before, our claim to bravery has to be questioned.

Do a brave people tremble in their homes, hanging onto their guns, and waiting for al-Qaida to attack?

Bogeymen that have hidden under our beds forever – we have called them Communists, Irish, Mexicans,

Catholics, Muslims and many other names. Someone is always pointing at an individual or group or country and saying, “This is who is trying to take your freedom.” When they have you quivering in your fortress, they have already won.

You are no longer free. And all that had to happen was for someone to make you fearful.

The next time someone tells you to be afraid, think about what their possible motive might be. Is it the NRA insisting there should be an M-16 in every home? Who profits from that? How about the politician who says having the NSA keeping tabs on our phone records is being prudent? Big Brother was a little slow in arriving, George Orwell having predicted the arrival for “1984.”

If you want to be truly free, your bravery cannot be bought at a gun show. Real bravery is facing the “bogeymen” and knowing you have won no matter the outcome.

The 4 truths To the Editor: Regarding recent religion letters, consider the four kinds of “truth.”

Rhetorical truth: It was once

How to sound off We welcome original letters on public issues.

Letters must include the author’s full name, home address and day and evening telephone numbers.

We limit letters to 250 words and one published letter every 30 days.

All letters are subject to editing

thought true that women are not competent to vote, but that was changed by persuasive rhetoric.

Mystical truths: Arise from sacred texts, spiritual revelation, prophecy, personal enlightenment, etc.

Such “truths” have given the world nine major religions and thousands of minor beliefs. Common to all: “My faith is truth; yours is false.”

The World Christian Encyclopedia counts 33,830 Christian denominations worldwide. WCE predicts 55,000 Christian denominations by 2025. Church of my youth split, and one offshoot split again. So much for ecumenism. If mystical truth were absolute truth, then there would only be one religion in the world (yours, of course).

Logical truths: Statements tested and validated by methods of reason, logical inference and formal proof (mathematics). Conclusions

based on logic depend on the truth or falsity of the axioms and postulates on which they are based.

If one postulates that his sacred scripture is inerrant and divinely inspired and a verse states, “So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day,” one might logically (falsely) conclude that the sun orbits the earth.

Empirical (scientific) truths: Conclusions based on verifiable, repeatable experiments that represent the current best explanation of the evidence. Scientific truth never claims to be the absolute truth. No one has the last word.

The strength of science is that it is self-correcting over time with obvious benefits to humankind.

Here’s how to make the Patriot Act more patriotic The problem with the government’s handling of surveillance since Sept. 11, 2001, comes down to the choice of the naked machine over the blob machine.

In 2002, the Transportation Safety Administration had to pick between two airport screening technologies: one that showed graphic images of a passenger’s naked body and one that represented the body as a nondescript blob, with arrows pointing to the areas that required secondary screening. Because both technologies promised the same amount of security, while one also protected privacy, you would think the choice between them would be a no-brainer. In fact, both the Bush and the Obama administrations supported the wide deployment of the naked machine over the blob machine.

It took a political protest to persuade the Obama administration and Congress to reconsider. This year, the TSA removed the invasive technology from major airports and replaced it with more privacyprotective machines.

Yet we remain unnecessarily exposed. Repeatedly, our government has chosen technologies, policies and laws that reveal innocent information without making us demonstrably safer. The tendency

goes back at least as far as the USA Patriot Act, passed in the anxious weeks after Sept. 11, 2001, with only one dissenting vote in the Senate.

Here’s what some of the most controversial passages of the Patriot Act should have said from the start – and how they could be amended:

Section 215 Before the Patriot Act, the government could conduct warrantless surveillance only to seize a limited set of records, such as business records, and only when the target was a suspected spy, terrorist or “agent of a foreign power.”

Section 215 broadened the exception to warrant requirements dramatically, allowing the government to seize from anyone “any tangible things” – that is, any data, including emails, financial records and travel itineraries – arguably relevant to a terrorism investigation, regardless of whether the target is a suspected terrorist.

Now, even Patriot Act sponsor Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., argues that Section 215 should be revised. As Sensenbrenner suggests, it should be amended to require a warrant, or “specific and articulable facts” giving reason to believe that someone is an “agent of a foreign power,” before the seizure of phone

VIEWS Jeffrey Rosen records or any other private data.

That would avoid the hoovering of information and focus surveillance on suspicious targets.

The director of national intelligence has suggested that the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court already has imposed a version of this requirement on the government. But fundamental constitutional protections should be enacted by Congress, not imposed in secret by unaccountable judges.

Section 218 Section 218 covers foreign intelligence searches targeting noncitizens. Before the Patriot Act, such searches – authorized by that secret court – were allowed only in the small category of cases whose “primary purpose” was to gather intelligence about terrorism suspects.

Section 218 lowered the bar, allowing those secret searches whenever a “significant purpose” is intelligence-gathering and whenever the evidence might be relevant to a terrorism investigation. This more relaxed standard was expand-

8THE FIRST AMENDMENT

ed by the 2008 FISA Amendments Act, which retroactively authorized President George W. Bush’s warrantless wiretapping program by allowing the NSA warrantless access to the data of Americans communicating with overseas “targets” as long as the conversations allegedly dealt with “foreign intelligence information.”

To satisfy the Constitution, Congress should amend Section 218 by restoring the requirement that the “primary purpose” of foreign intelligence surveillance searches is to gather information related to particular terrorism suspects. The law should require foreign intelligence surveillance judges to review the content of individual surveillance applications, rather than simply the targeting and minimization procedures. It should prevent the government from amassing and sharing huge databases of private information collected through programmatic surveillance, regardless of whether the targets are at home or abroad.

Sections 411 and 412 The most controversial treatment of non-U.S. citizens after Sept.

11 – indefinite detention at Guantanamo – initially occurred without congressional authorization. After

the Supreme Court repudiated the Bush administration’s claim that it could detain alleged enemy combatants on its own say-so, Congress authorized the detention and trial of enemy combatants in military tribunals.

Still, the Patriot Act explicitly expanded the government’s power over noncitizens in several ways.

Section 411 allows the government to deport noncitizens who associate with terrorists, even unknowingly.

And Section 412 allows the attorney general to detain foreigners if he has “reasonable grounds to believe” that they threaten national security.

This essentially imposes guilt by association, even if you’re not aware that you’re associating with terrorists. And it threatens the liberty of both citizens and foreigners in an age when any international call or email might involve someone connected to terrorism through six degrees of separation. Congress should tighten the standards for deportation, detention and surveillance so that neither citizens nor noncitizens can be targeted in any way for unknowing association of any kind.

• Rosen is president of the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

McHENRY – A pot of chicken cooking on a stove left unattended Monday led to a small fire in an apartment at 1307 N. Richmond Road, the McHenry Township Fire Protection District said.

A lot of smoke was coming out of the first-floor apartment when firefighters were called at 4:20 p.m., Lt. David Harwood said.

Police had to shut down Richmond Road for about 25 minutes while crews worked.

The chicken was left unattended for about an hour and 20 minutes, boiled over and led to the small fire, Harwood said. Firefighters removed the pot and cleared the smoke from the property.

The fire department left the scene shortly before 5 p.m.

No one was hurt, and there was only minor smoke damage, Harwood said.

CL man a leader in tornado cleanup Teenager Plans to return to Oklahoma in the fall to help others rebuild

By OLIVIA GILBERTSEN ogilbertsen@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – After spending a week helping with debris cleanup from the F5 tornado that hit Oklahoma in May, Crystal Lake resident Bernie Boyle already is planning another trip to help the ravaged town of Moore.

Boyle went to Oklahoma with six other men from Crystal Lake and the surrounding area to clean up about 10 homes that were destroyed.

The area had been searched by firefighters and police officers, who pulled out bodies and the injured, said Boyle, who organized the trip.

Then homeowners dug

“The work was highly rewarding. It was very hot because there was really no shelter, but it was worth it. Right now, I’m sitting in my computer room with all of my things, and to think this could be gone in a few minutes is unbelievable.”

Bernie Boyle, Crystal Lake resident and tornado relief volunteer through the debris to salvage what they could.

“After those two steps, we came in and attempted to remove what was left,” he said. “It was all kinds of stuff: house siding, metals, really anything you can think of. We took the debris to the parkway and piled it up, then a truck came and took it out.”

The devastation left by the tornado is so severe that

cleanup will be going on for a while, he said.

While in Moore, Boyle and his group had access to a chain saw, which allowed them to trim the few trees that survived.

“I’ll never forget it; one woman lived in a home where we were trimming her trees and she told me her story,” Boyle said.

The woman had heard a tornado was coming and

took shelter in her bathtub.

“She told me she heard a big crash and then the roof started caving in on her,” he said. “It turns out a furnace from another home landed right above her. Had there not been heating ducts there, she most likely would have died.”

Boyle’s time in Moore caused him to reflect on his own life.

“The work was highly rewarding,” he said. “It was very hot because there was really no shelter, but it was worth it. Right now, I’m sitting in my computer room with all of my things, and to think this could be gone in a few minutes is unbelievable.”

Treasurer Bill LeFew not seeking re-election

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com Longtime McHenry County Treasurer Bill LeFew is calling it quits after his term expires next year, possibly setting the stage for a second contested Republican primary for countywide office.

LeFew announced to county GOP leaders late last month that he will not seek re-election in 2014, according to letters obtained by the Northwest Herald. He wrote that he needs to devote his

full attention to his Harvard insurance company, LeFew Insurance Group, which Bill LeFew has been enjoying significant growth.

LeFew said in his letters and in a Monday interview that the growing workload is the sole motivation for his decision.

“My insurance agency with American Family continues to grow at double-

digit rates, and it’s just gotten to the point where I need to spend full time there,” LeFew said Monday afternoon.

LeFew has served as treasurer since Jan. 1, 1997, about two months after thenCounty Board Chairwoman Dianne Klemm appointed him to fill the remaining term of retiring Treasurer William Ward. He was Harvard mayor at the time, and before that had served as an alderman and as a member and president of the District

50 school board.

LeFew is the second countywide officeholder to not seek re-election next year. A contentious Republican primary already has shaped up over who will replace outgoing Sheriff Keith Nygren.

Mike Tryon, McHenry County Republican Party chairman, said that LeFew has a lot to be proud of and that his expertise will be missed.

drowns in Harvard

By JOSEPH BUSTOS jbustos@shawmedia.com

HARVARD – A 13-year-old boy drowned Monday evening after a canoe he was in tipped over, according to the Harvard Fire Protection District.

The boy was in the canoe with two other boys in a stormwater detention pond on the 1100 block of Apple Valley Road, Battalion Chief Daniel Danczyk said.

When the canoe tipped over, one of the boys was able to swim to shore, and one was rescued. Fire department personnel were called at about 7:30 p.m., Danczyk said.

Dancyzk said the water was 15 to 20 feet deep.

He said firefighters were able to find the boy about an hour after they were called.

When he was brought to shore, firefighters attempted life-saving measures. The boy was taken to Mercy Harvard Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The other boys were not hurt, Danczyk said. All the boys are believed to be Harvard residents. It was not clear how the canoe tipped over.

The fire department did not release the boy’s name.

A phone call to the McHenry County Coroner’s Office was not returned Monday night.

Crews from Wonder Lake, Woodstock, Cary, Fox River Grove and McHenry were among those called to the scene.

No one was hurt Richmond lets go of police chief in escape attempt John Fryksdale has been on medical leave since December RICHMOND: SEPARATION AGREEMENT

• ESCAPE Continued from page B1 landing to the lobby, where he was tackled by courthouse officer Louis J. Schoen. There were no injuries.

“There’s no point in taking off like that. This place is so guarded, every door is guarded by four or five officers,” Schoen said after the incident.

Schoen is a former McHenry County Sheriff’s Office deputy and detective who started working part time at the courthouse after retirement.

“These are all retired cops; they ain’t rookies,” he said, referring to the security officers who helped nab Draut.

Prisoners who attend court in McHenry County courtrooms typically are escorted by jail guards through secure hallways and elevators directly into courtrooms.

“We have policies and procedures in place for incidents like this,” McHenry County Undersheriff Andrew Zinke said. “We caught the guy before he got out of the building, and luckily nobody got hurt.”

Draut’s attorney, Public Defender Rick Behof, had not spoken to his client immediately after the incident but said a psychological evaluation would be ordered to ensure there wouldn’t be any

more incidents.

Draut likely will face additional escape charges; however, the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office did not immediately respond for this article.

According to the criminal complaint, Draut, armed with crowbars, broke into the Crystal Lake Rib House at 5111 Terra Cotta Ave. on June 9. He was on parole at the time for burglary charges out of Cook County.

Draut also was charged with two counts of aggravated battery in a public place for allegedly striking two men with the crowbar at the Rib House, and possession of burglary tools. Court documents indicate he resisted arrest and swung a crowbar at a Crystal Lake police officer.

His most serious charge is a Class 2 felony, punishable by a maximum of seven years in prison.

Draut was sentenced to three years in prison for a McHenry County burglary in 2009.

Attempts to escape from courtrooms are rare but not unheard of. Attorneys and other courthouse employees cited an incident in the early 2000s when now-convicted murderer Christopher Swan tried to flee the courtroom but was tackled by then assistant state’s attorney Daniel Regna.

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com RICHMOND – After more than six months on medical leave, the village police chief was let go last week.

The Richmond Village Board approved a separation agreement at its last meeting, effectively “terminating” the employment of Police Chief John Fryksdale, who has been on medical leave since December, Village Clerk Karla Thomas

said.

Fryksdale, who has been the village’s police chief since August 2009, couldn’t resign because he was on disability, so the village had to let him go, Thomas said, adding that the village is calling it a termination, not a firing.

Because Fryksdale is receiving disability benefits, he has not been collecting a salary, but the Village Board agreed to pay him $25,000 as part of the separation agree-

ment, she said.

The duties of police chief have been handled by Sgt. Ciro Cetrangolo, who was officially made acting police chief in June.

The position of chief has not been posted, and the village is looking to promote from within, with Cetrangolo likely to retain the position, Thomas said. There is no time frame on the decision.

Cetrangolo has worked for the department since No-

vember 2007.

He will earn about $59,000 a year as chief, less than the $72,000 Fryksdale made because Fryksdale had more experience and a master’s degree, Thomas said.

The village also has posted for a full-time police officer position.

The department typically has 19 part-time employees and three full-time employees, which include the chief, a sergeant and a full-time officer.

Tryon: LeFew’s experience will be missed • LeFEW Continued from page B1 “I think when you look at what Bill’s accomplished – taking the treasurer’s office through substantial reorganization and automation and software and all of the things he was leading – I think he’s had a phenomenal career,” Tryon said. “He’s been looking for a while whether another four years is a best bet.”

Tryon said that Chief Deputy Treasurer Glenda Miller, who has served in the capacity since shortly after

At a glance Bill LeFew’s announcement that he will not seek re-election ends a 16-year tenure as McHenry County’s treasurer. Other positions LeFew has held include: n Mayor of Harvard n Alderman for the city of Harvard n President of the District 50 school board n Former McHenry County GOP chairman LeFew took office, has expressed interest in running.

Miller, who is secretary of

the county party and a Chemung Township trustee, confirmed Monday that she is considering a run.

LeFew also formerly held the county GOP chairman post. He did not seek re-election to the top spot in 2008 amid controversy over the contested state’s attorney primary. LeFew backed challenger Dan Regna over incumbent Lou Bianchi, who handily beat him. Opponents of LeFew alleged that his actions – which included anonymously mailing out literature critical of Bianchi – were damaging to party unity.

The other countywide offices up for election next year are county clerk and regional superintendent of schools, both of which also are held by Republicans. Regional Superintendent Leslie Schermerhorn, who was appointed last year to fill an unexpired term and ran uncontested in November, said during the confirmation process that she would seek re-election.

Longtime County Clerk Katherine Schultz, who has held the office since 1990, said Monday that she is still deciding whether to seek another term.

Boyle is looking for other volunteers for return trip damaged.

Active Foam Specialists owner Mike McNish of McHenry sprays foam insulation while working in a Twin Lakes, Wis., home.

Room to foam Johnsburg company specializes in spray insulation

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com JOHNSBURG – For Active Foam Specialists, a move toward energy efficiency in the home has kept the phone ringing.

Like the 2009 code before it, the 2012 Energy Code placed tougher efficiency requirements on builders, in the process putting an importance on an airtight house.

Doing business at residential and commercial buildings from McHenry County to the North Shore to Milwaukee, the Johnsburg-based company applies a spray-foam insulation called Icynene. It goes on like pancake batter, then expands to about 100 times its original size.

“I believe that one day we’ll replace fiberglass,” said Kristeen Keyzer, the company’s office manager and estimator. “The new 2012 code is so stringent on air sealing the home.”

Created about 25 years ago, Icynene is a water-blown combination of chemicals that mix in the spray gun, Keyzer said. Active Foam Specialists ships the product in from Canada, and recently received “Silver Dealer Status” from the supplier.

Still, there’s a technique to applying the product. The company brings two 55-gallon tanks of chemicals to each worksite.

“In order to make the foam happen, it has to be perfect,” Keyzer said.

“The chemicals have to be coming out of the sprayer at the right ratio, the right temperature. If there’s one more than the other, it will create bad foam.”

Because employees can simply pack everything onto a truck and go, the company has been able to do business within a wide radius.

And after the application of Icynene, Active Foam provides several other services to keep the home airtight.

The “attic tent” and “attic mate” keep air from transferring from the home to the attic through the attic door. The attic tent is a zip-up insulator that seals off air from getting through the attic door.

The attic mate is designed to create an air transfer barrier between the attic and the rest of the home.

The company provides thermal imaging to help troubleshoot areas of lost heat from a home, and it offers removal of existing insulation.

OMAHA, Neb. – Billionaire Warren Buffett is giving five charities more than $2.6 billion worth of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. stock as part of his overall plan to give away his fortune gradually.

Buffett announced the annual gifts Monday. The biggest block of Class B shares of Berkshire stock worth $2 billion is going to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Buffett also gave 1.75 million shares to his own foundation and 1.2 million shares to each of his three children’s foundations. The Class B shares were up 46 cents at $115.42 in midday trading Monday.

Last year, Buffett announced plans to double the amount of stock he gives to his children’s foundations because he has been pleased with the work they’ve done.

The chairman and CEO of Berkshire outlined his charitable plans in 2006 and has been making annual gifts since then.

Fiat exercises option to buy more Chrysler stock DETROIT – Italian automaker Fiat has exercised a third option to buy a small amount of Chrysler stock, but the sale won’t go through until a U.S. court settles a dispute over the price.

Fiat said Monday that it offered $254.7 million for another 3.3 percent of Chrysler’s outstanding equity.

Fiat already owns 58.5 percent of Chrysler, with the remaining 41.5 percent held by a trust that pays medical bills for retired United Auto Workers union members. The Italian company wants to buy all of the trust’s stock and fully merge Chrysler and Fiat.

The price on the options will be settled by a judge in Delaware Chancery Court, and the ruling is likely to set the price for the trust’s remaining Chrysler stake. For several months, Fiat has been trying to arrange financing to buy the trust’s stock. Fiat expects a court ruling sometime this month.

“I hope to close (the deal) as soon as possible if they let me do it,” the Italian news agency LaPresse quoted Fiat and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne as saying at an appearance Monday in Turin, Italy, Fiat’s headquarters city.

Fiat now has exercised options to buy 9.9 percent more Chrysler stock. The Italian automaker has options to buy 3.3 percent of Chrysler stock every six months until it gets another 16.6 percent.

Why gloomy 2Q earnings outlook might not be so dim

By SCOTT MAYEROWITZ AP Business Writer NEW YORK – For Corporate America, it’s the season of low expectations.

Companies have been scaling back their earnings forecasts for weeks as part of a quarterly catand-mouse game with financial analysts. It’s not OK just to report a strong second-quarter profit – they also need to beat analysts’ forecasts. And companies are eager to do just that.

Wall Street analysts now predict that earnings for companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 rose 3 percent in the second quarter compared with a year earlier, according to a survey by S&P Capital IQ. But as recently as April 1, they thought earnings would rise nearly 7 percent. At the start of the year; they forecast a 9 percent increase.

Companies that provide raw materials and technology firms are expected to drag down growth.

Another reason for the drop? Eighty seven of the 111 S&P 500 companies that offered guidance were negative.

“You really have to take it with a grain of salt,” said Christine Short, associate director at S&P Capital IQ. Last quarter, she said, 65 percent of companies beat financial analysts’ estimates.

Quarterly growth over the past 15 years has

averaged 8 percent. In the last eight quarters, analysts’ estimates have underplayed growth by about 4 percentage points, according to Short.

That would mean earnings in the second quarter just ended are more likely to rise around 7 percent.

There are plenty of areas that could help lift corporate profits. Americans’ confidence is up and they are willing to spend again. The housing market rebound is also expected to push up earnings of home construction companies such as DR Horton Inc., Lennar Corp. and PulteGroup Inc. The consumer discretionary sector, which includes retailers like Target Corp., entertainment companies like Walt Disney Co. and the homebuilders, is expected to see growth of 12 percent.

The financial sector is also expected to see a jump, with 16 percent growth from a year earlier.

An aggregate of the S&P 500’s earnings per share is estimated at $26.41, up from $25.67 reported in the second quarter last year. That would be the second-highest quarterly earnings, only topped by the all-time high of $26.71 during this year’s first quarter.

Howard Silverblatt, a senior index analyst with S&P Dow Jones Indices, said the earnings should propel the S&P 500 index past its record close of 1,669.16 on May 21.

“The guidance has been negative, but not as much as historically,” Silverblatt said.

Still, there are concerns. Short points out that earnings are only part of the picture. She’s scrutinizing revenue growth, which is predicted to slow by 0.3 percent from last year’s second quarter. If that holds true, it would be the first revenue slowdown since the third quarter of 2009, just after the recession ended “Companies have gotten very good at managing costs – which is of course important – but it’s unsustainable,” Short said. “At some point you need to grow that top line.”

Profits at mining and other companies that provide gold, aluminum and similar products are expected to slow because of lower commodity prices. Growth for their profits is expected to pull back by 4 percent.

The technology sector isn’t looking promising either. Personal computer sales have slumped, hurting Dell Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co. But the real drag is Apple Inc. The company isn’t launching any new products and is expected to earn $7.37 a share, down from $9.32 last year, according to FactSet. Apple accounts for about 15 percent of the sector’s weight, so its earnings drop brings down the entire group. Growth in IT earnings will slow by 5 percent.

Twinkies to last longer on store shelves The Associated Press NEW YORK – Twinkies don’t last forever, but they’ll have more staying power than most people remember when they return to shelves next week.

Hostess Brands LLC says the spongy yellow cakes will have a shelf life of 45 days when they start hitting shelves again July 15. That’s nearly three weeks longer than the 26 days the previous owner had stated as the shelf life for Twinkies.

A spokeswoman for Hostess, Hannah Arnold, says the change to extend the shelf life was actually made by the old company that went bankrupt, with the longer-lasting cakes first hitting shelves on Nov. 1 of last year.

But the old company went out of business and stopped production just weeks after that, meaning the Twinkies most people are familiar with had the shorter lifespan.

Arnold declined to say what changes were made to extend the shelf life, saying that it is proprietary information.

The New York Post also reported last week that Hostess will start freezing some of its cakes to extend their shelf life. That means that Twinkies would be delivered to stores frozen so retailers can stamp their own expiration dates on the cakes.

Arnold said in a statement that “a select number of retail customers” representing about 10 percent of its distribution made the request for frozen products.

She declined to say which retailers requested the frozen Twinkies.

Temporary jobs becoming a permanent fixture

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON – Hiring is exploding in the one corner of the U.S. economy where few want to be hired: Temporary work.

From Wal-Mart to General Motors to PepsiCo, companies are increasingly turning to temps and to a much larger universe of freelancers, contract workers and consultants. Combined, these workers number nearly 17 million people who have only tenuous ties to the companies that pay them – about 12 percent of everyone with a job.

Hiring is always healthy for an economy. Yet the rise in temp and contract work shows that many employers aren’t willing to hire for the long run.

The number of temps has jumped more than 50 percent since the recession ended four years ago to nearly 2.7 million – the most on government records dating to 1990. In no other sector has hiring come close.

Driving the trend are lingering uncertainty about the economy and employers’ desire for more flexibility in matching their payrolls to their revenue. Some employers have also sought to sidestep the new health care law’s rule that they provide medical coverage for permanent workers. Last week, though, the Obama administration delayed that provision of the law for a year.

The use of temps has extended into sectors that seldom used them in the past – professional services, for example, which include lawyers, doctors and information technology specialists.

Temps typically receive low pay, few benefits and scant job security.

That makes them less likely to spend freely, so temp jobs don’t tend to boost the economy the way permanent jobs do. More temps and contract workers also help explain why pay has barely outpaced inflation since the recession ended.

Beyond economic uncertainty, Ethan Harris, global economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, thinks more lasting changes are taking root.

“There’s been a generational shift toward a less committed relationship between the firm and the worker,” Harris says.

An Associated Press survey of 37 economists in May found that threequarters thought the increased use of temps and contract workers represented a long-standing trend.

Typical of that trend is Latrese Carr, who was hired by a Wal-Mart in Glenwood, Ill., two months ago on a 90-day contract. She works 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., helping unload trucks and restocking shelves. Her pay is $9.45 an hour. There’s no health insurance or other benefits.

Carr, 20, didn’t particularly want the overnight shift.

“I needed a job,” she says.

The store managers have said some temps will be kept on permanently, Carr says, depending on their performance.

Carr isn’t counting on it.

The trend toward contract workers was intensified by the depth of the recession and the tepid pace of the recovery. A heavy investment in long-term employment isn’t a cost all companies want to bear anymore.

“There’s much more appreciation of the importance of having flexibility in the workforce,” says Barry Asin of Staffing Industry Analysts, a consult-

Susan Houseman, an economist at the Upjohn Institute of Employment Research, says companies want to avoid having too many employees during a downturn, just as manufacturers want to avoid having too much inventory if demand slows.

“You have your just-in-time workforce,” Houseman says. “You only pay them when you need them.”

This marks a shift from what economists used to call “labor hoarding”: Companies typically retained most of their staff throughout recessions, hoping to ride out the downturn.

“We clearly don’t have that anymore,” says Sylvia Allegretto, an economist at the University of California, Berkeley.

The result is that temps and contract workers have become fixtures at large companies. Business executives say they help their companies stay competitive. They also argue that temp work can provide valuable experience.

“It opens more doors for people to enter the labor market,” says Jeff Joerres, CEO of ManpowerGroup, a workplace staffing firm.

But Houseman’s research has found that even when jobs are classified as “temp to permanent,” only 27 percent of such assignments lead to permanent positions.

About one-third of temporary workers work in manufacturing.

Temps can be found on production lines, repairing machinery and stocking goods in warehouses. About a fifth are administrative.

Shortages of doctors and nurses have led some hospitals to turn to temp agencies. Staffing Industry Analysts forecasts that spending on temporary doctors will grow 10 percent this year and next.

Some school districts now turn to temp firms for substitute teachers.

This lets them avoid providing retirement benefits, which union contracts might otherwise require.

Manufacturing unions have pushed back against the trend, with limited success.

“We run into this across all the various industries where we represent people,” says Tony Montana, a spokesman for the USW, which represents workers in the steel, paper, and energy industries.

Todd Miller, CEO of software company Gwabbit in Carmel Valley, Calif., says about a third of his 20 employ-

In this May 9 file photo, a worker pushes shopping carts in front of a Wal-Mart store in La Habra, Calif. From Wal-Mart to General Motors to PepsiCo, companies are increasingly turning to temporary workers and to a much larger universe of freelancers, contract workers and consultants. ees are temporary. An additional onethird are contractors.

He says he’s had no trouble filling such positions. People are “willing to entertain employment possibilities that they would not have six or seven years ago,” Miller says.

If the economy were to accelerate, Miller says he might hire more permanent staff. But “I don’t have tremendous confidence in this economy.”

Only the health care and leisure and hospitality sectors have added more jobs during the recovery. But each is roughly five times as large as the temp industry. The proportion of all jobs in the temp industry is about 2 percent, just below a record set in 2000.

Temp hiring has accelerated even though the economy has 2.4 million fewer jobs than it did five years ago.

Temp jobs made up about 10 percent of jobs lost to the recession. Yet they’ve made up nearly 20 percent of the jobs gained since the recession ended.

A survey of companies with more than 1,000 employees by Staffing Industry Analysts found they expect 18 percent of their workforces to be made up of temps, freelancers or contract workers this year, up from 16 percent in 2012.

Shane Watson, who in November lost a job providing tech support for Blackberry maker Research In Motion, says contract work has helped him recover. He’s on his third such position. Still, Watson, 36, misses the security of a permanent job.

Wal-Mart says it’s been hiring disproportionately more temporary workers. “Flexible associates,” it calls them. Spokesman Dave Tovar says

temps allow store managers to provide permanent workers with more reliable schedules.

Online competitors are seeking to upend the temp industry just as Amazon and eBay disrupted retail.

Employers spent $1 billion last year hiring workers for short-term projects through online labor exchanges, such as oDesk and Elance, according to Staffing Industry Analysts. That’s 67 percent more than in the previous year.

Freelancers in the online exchanges can be evaluated by employers, post portfolios and take online tests to demonstrate their abilities.

Gary Swart, CEO of oDesk, says his clients are mainly small or startup companies. But giants like AOL and Unilever are using the service, too.

When Hans Hess of Arlington, Va., was seeking a lawyer to do a trademark search for his Elevation Burger chain, he turned to Elance. He found a lawyer to do it for under $500.

“When I was using a big law firm, it could cost me $5,000 to get to the point of just filing a trademark,” Hess says.

Gigwalk recruits temps for brief projects in retail, merchandising and marketing. Anyone who downloads Gigwalk’s app can see pinpoints on a map signifying available jobs nearby.

Frito-Lay, a division of PepsiCo, used Gigwalk this year to hire workers to check in-store displays of its products to ensure that a seasonal promotion was being handled properly.

“You can hire 10,000 people for 10 to 15 minutes,” says Gigwalk CEO Bob Bahramipour. “When they’re done, those 10,000 people just melt away.”

Lauryn Hill reports to prison Grammy-winning singer Lauryn Hill began serving a three-month prison sentence in Connecticut on Monday for failing to pay about $1 million in taxes over the past decade.

Hill reported to federal prison in Danbury, said Ed Ross, a spokesman for the federal Bureau of Prisons. Inmates at the minimum security prison live in open dormitory-style living quarters and are expected to work jobs such as maintenance, food service or landscaping.

Hill, who started singing with the Fugees as a teenager in the 1990s before releasing her multiplatinum 1998 album “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” pleaded guilty last year in New Jersey to failing to pay taxes on more than $1.8 million earned from 2005 to 2007. Her sentencing also took into account unpaid state and federal taxes in 2008 and 2009 that brought the total earnings to about $2.3 million.

Her attorney had sought probation, arguing that Hill’s charitable work, her family circumstances and the fact she paid back the taxes she owed should merit consideration.

During her sentencing in May in Newark, N.J., Hill described how she failed to pay taxes during a period when she’d dropped out of the music business to protect herself and her children, who now number six. She said the treatment she received while she was in the entertainment business led to her decision to leave it.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Sandra Moser acknowledged Hill’s creative talent and work on behalf of impoverished children but called Hill’s explanation for her actions “a parade of excuses centering around her feeling put upon” that don’t exempt her from her responsibilities.

Kris Jenner to try for variety with co-hosts Kris Jenner isn’t going it alone on her new talk show: Joan Rivers and Sean “Diddy” Combs will be among the co-hosts sharing the stage with Kris jenner Jenner.

The show’s producer said Monday Jenner will be paired with a different co-host for each episode of the daytime show, “Kris.”

Others in the lineup include Kathie Lee Gifford, Morris Chestnut, NeNe Leakes, Tom Bergeron and Ryan Seacrest, who produces “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” which features Jenner and other family members.

Khloe Kardashian-Odom, one of Jenner’s daughters, also will be a “Kris”

In videotaped testimony, Dr. Stuart Finkelstein said he was later asked by concert promoter AEG Live to act as Jackson’s personal physician during the ill-fated “This Is It” tour in 2009 but wanted to know if Jackson was “clean.” AEG executive Paul Gongaware said he didn’t believe Jackson had any prescription drug issues, Finkelstein testified.

Finkelstein’s testimony was recorded during a February deposition that was played for jurors hearing a negligence lawsuit by Jackson’s mother against AEG Live LLC. Katherine Jackson claims AEG failed to properly investigate another doctor who later gave her son an overdose of the anesthetic propofol and that the company ignored warning signs about her son’s health.

Former West Dundee resident eager to hit ice CHICAGO – After sitting out for a pair of practice sessions and standing up for a handful of interviews Monday, Ryan Hartman exited the locker room and stood behind the glass at the Blackhawks’ practice facility.

Most of the healthy participants at the Hawks’ prospect camp had changed into street clothes, but a few lingered on the ice.

Hartman studied forwards Mark McNeill and Phillip Danault, both of whom were first-round picks in 2011.

McNeill snapped a low shot that goaltending prospect Mac Carruth pushed aside. Could Hartman have scored on that opportunity?

Danault fired wide of the net with one shot and hit Carruth’s blocker with another. Could Hartman have slipped either of those

VIEWS Tom Musick pucks past the goal line?

Maybe. Maybe not.

One answer is much more clear.

“It’s definitely tough to be on the other side of the glass,” Hartman said.

Hartman, who grew up in West Dundee, waited 18 years, 9 months and 11 days for the Hawks to call his name as their top pick (No. 30 overall) of the 2013 NHL draft. He waited eight days after that for the Hawks’ weeklong prospect camp to open at Johnny’s IceHouse West, less than a mile from the United Center.

As for taking the ice, Hartman will have to keep waiting.

Hartman is limited to off-ice activities as he recovers from shoulder surgery, which he underwent eight weeks ago at the end of his season with the Plymouth Whalers of the Ontario Hockey League.

The 5-foot-11, 181-pound forward played through pain for much of the season but tallied 60 points in 56 games anyway.

Now, Hartman said, he is ahead of schedule to make a pain-free return. He expects to be cleared to skate in two to three weeks and cleared to shoot pucks in four to five weeks.

Being patient isn’t exactly Hartman’s style. He is a high-energy, Scrappy Doo player who has drawn comparisons to antagonists such as Andrew Shaw and Dave

Passing camps provide headstart

Bolland.

Not surprisingly, Hartman is counting down the days until he is able to return to the ice. It’s going to require a bit more time than his frequent trips to the penalty box – he had 120 penalty minutes in 56 games with the Whalers last season.

“I’m really getting anxious right now,” Hartman said.

He’s also getting congratulations from just about everyone who knew him as a kid growing up in the northwest suburbs.

Hartman played one season with the Crystal Lake Leafs and several more seasons in West Dundee before moving to Ann Arbor, Mich., to be part of the U.S. national development team.

Billy Bahl won’t make his first varsity start at quarterback until this fall.

But when the Marian Central junior takes over a Hurricanes offense run for the past two years by Chris Streveler, he won’t be completely emptyhanded when it comes to handling big-game pressure.

Granted, helping lead the Hurricanes to a second-place finish at Notre Dame’s 7-on-7 camp last month doesn’t equate to real-world high school football Billy Bahl experience. But for Bahl, who traveled with Marian Central’s 7-on-7 team last year as a sophomore, the experience of being able to see things develop without the pressure of a pass rush should pay off once the game goes to full-speed next month.

“Seven-on-7 makes it a lot easier for me to make my reads and make sure my throws are where they’re supposed to be,” Bahl said. “I think once we really get this rolling, it will make it easier when there is pressure coming and when I’ve got to make the plays I need to.

“I’ll be ready.”

Under IHSA rules, coaches can use as many of their allotted 25 contact days for 7-on-7 workouts as they see fit. Teams can begin with 7-on-7 camps as early as June 3 and continue through Aug. 4 before a mandated no-contact period begins, running through the first day of practice Aug. 14.

For schools such as Marian Central, which lost in the championship game at Notre Dame of what began as a 70-team field representing 10 states, the chance to get a glance at elite competition can pay off. Especially when it comes to providing game simulations for young players like Bahl.

Without having to deal with the pressure of rushing defensive linemen, young quarterbacks are able to work on timing with their receivers and run through read progressions.

CUBS 8, WHITE SOX 2

Garza too valuable for Cubs to keep Cubs vs. Sox A look at this year’s Cubs vs. Whites Sox games: June 27 at U.S. Cellular Field Cubs 7, Sox 0 June 29 at Wrigley Field Cubs 9, Sox 3 June 30 at Wrigley Field Cubs 8, Sox 3 July 8 at U.S. Cellular Field Cubs 8, Sox 2

CHICAGO – Cubs right-hander Matt Garza has the tools of a No. 1 pitcher.

He mixes four pitches with a fastball that consistently hits 93 mph and typically displays good command while his on-field demeanor suggests Garza isn’t someone you want to mess with. Garza’s loud personality makes him hard to not notice in the clubhouse, and he loves pitching in important games.

Yet for all the positives, the Cubs need to trade Garza, who turns 30 in November, as soon as possible.

Whether that happens today or minutes before the July 31 trade deadline, the Cubs must accept the best offer, which should include at least one legit big league prospect.

Multiple reports Monday indicated the Cubs re-engaged in discussions for a contract extension with Garza,

ANALYSIS Meghan Montemurro a free agent after this season.

But locking up Garza on a long-term deal, potentially in the five-year, $80 million range only makes sense if the Cubs are going to be playoff contenders within the next two years. That doesn’t seem likely based on this season’s performance. Plus, their most recent starting pitching contract – four years, $52 million for Edwin Jackson – hasn’t panned out.

Theo Epstein and Co., do the right thing. Ship Garza out of town for a package of prospects. His value can’t get much higher after holding the White Sox to one earned run on five

hits in seven innings. In his past five starts, Garza has posted a 0.97 ERA with 34 strikeouts in 37 innings.

“Needless to say, he’s been a popular name and a guy we’ve gotten a lot of phone calls on,” general manager Jed Hoyer said of Garza.

“I think he’s opened a lot of eyes the way he’s thrown the last four, five times out.”

The Cubs need leadership from their veterans, guys who will set a good example for the younger ballplayers coming up through the system.

But a leader doesn’t call out a young teammate, in this case catcher Welington Castillo, after a bad outing in which the starting pitcher, Garza, surrendered nine earned runs.

NFL: AARON HERNANDEZ MURDER CASE

Co-defendant ordered held

Cowboys lineman Brent released from jail DALLAS – Dallas Cowboys lineman Josh Brent is out of jail again, but under new conditions that include wearing a drugdetection patch at all times and not driving at all.

Brent was freed Sunday morning on bond. He’s charged with intoxication manslaughter in a December car crash that killed Cowboys practice squad player and close friend Jerry Brown.

Brent was jailed June 27 after testing positive for marijuana a second time.

Prosecutors have filed a motion to have Brent’s $100,000 bond revoked after the two drug tests.

The bond conditions approved by a judge Sunday include wearing a drug patch and not driving under any circumstances, in addition to previous alcohol monitoring.

Prosecutors had no immediate comment. An attorney for Brent did not return phone messages.

Police look for suspects in Brazil soccer slaying BRASILIA, Brazil – Police in rural Brazil have detained one man and were seeking two others in the slaying of a soccer referee who was killed, dismembered and decapitated by spectators after he stabbed a player to death midmatch, a police official said Monday.

Officer Valter Costa, who was heading the investigation into the June 30 slayings, said police have detained Luis Moraes Souza, 27, who is suspected of pummeling the referee over the head and smashing a bottle of cachaca sugarcane rum onto his face.

Souza’s brother, Francisco, is among the two still being sought, Costa said.

While violent clashes between rival fans is common in Brazil, the brutality of the killings in Centro de Meio sent shockwaves through Brazil, which last month played host to the Confederations Cup and is gearing up to host next year’s World Cup soccer tournament.

60 days for ex-NBA player Washington in hit-run GRAND HAVEN, Mich. – Former New Jersey Nets and Los Angeles Clippers player Duane Washington was sentenced to 60 days in jail for hitting a pedestrian and then leaving the scene in western Michigan.

MLive.com reported Monday that an Ottawa County judge also placed the 48-year-old Washington on 18 months’ probation and ordered him to perform 100 hours of community service.

Authorities said the ex-NBA player hit 71-year-old Estella Vitins on Sept. 18 as she walked along Interstate 96 in Crockery Township after running out of gas. Vitins survived the accident, although she suffered a broken leg and other injuries.

Kastles tennis team can pass Lakers’ win streak WASHINGTON – Oh, the audacity. A World TeamTennis club is challenging the Los Angeles Lakers for all-time winning streak supremacy.

The Washington Kastles began the WTT season riding a 32-game winning streak, after back-to-back unbeaten championship seasons. They liked to tell anyone who would listen that they were second only to the Lakers among the “longest winning streaks in major U.S. pro sports history.”

That changed Monday night when they won their season opener against the New York Sportimes – in front of a sellout crowd that included first lady Michelle Obama – to tie the Lakers’ mark of 33 from the 1971-72 season. Another win Tuesday against the Boston Lobsters would break the record.

Most fans don’t consider WTT to be a “major” sports league.

The matches have more of an exhibition feel, with the sport’s top players making only featured appearances on certain nights.

Former Blackhawks forward Viktor Stalberg is ready to boost a Nashville Predators team that finished 14th out of 15 teams in the Western Conference.

NHL

Stalberg hopeful he can help Preds win Ex-Hawk wants ‘to reach my potential’ The ASSOCIATED PRESS Viktor Stalberg believes the Nashville Predators have many of the elements in place to start winning again.

Their chances of bouncing back from a disappointing season could depend on whether the 27-year-old forward can help solve his new team’s scoring problems.

Less than two weeks after winning the Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks, Stalberg signed a four-year, $12 million contract to join Nashville as part of the Predators’ uncharacteristic free-agent spending spree. The Predators are counting on Stalberg to boost an offense that scored just 2.27 goals a game this past season to match the Florida Panthers for the lowest average in the NHL. “Just from playing against them the last couple of years, I know they’re very well-built and well-coached,” Stalberg said Monday during a confer-

ence call with Nashville media. “Hopefully, I can add some offense to that team as well.”

As the free-agent period opened Friday, the Predators signed five players to contracts totaling more than $36 million.

Stalberg joined forwards Matt Cullen, Matt Hendricks and Eric Nystrom and goaltender Carter Hutton in signing with Nashville.

Stalberg is moving from the Stanley Cup champions to a Nashville team that finished last in the Central Division and 14th out of 15 teams in the Western Conference with a 1623-9 record. The switch should allow Stalberg to have more of a chance to show what he can do.

“I wanted to come to a team where I could have a bigger opportunity and play a little bit more,” Stalberg said. “As you guys know, in Chicago we had superstars. ... It’s tough to get the opportunity ahead of those guys, and they’re going to get the big minutes. I had a couple

of good years there, but I think I can keep improving. I don’t think I’ve reached my potential.”

Stalberg had 22 goals and 21 assists in 2011-12 for the Hawks. Stalberg followed that with nine goals and 14 assists in 47 games this past season, but he struggled to earn playing time during the Hawks’ playoff run. The presence of star forwards Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa made it difficult for Stalberg to break through.

Asked whether he got a fair shot at becoming a top-six forward in Chicago, Stalberg replied, “Yes and no.”

“Certainly you can’t be mad at that, either,” Stalberg said.

“Look at that lineup. That’s just the way it is. It’s probably the last couple of years the best team in hockey if you look at the roster. At the same time that you want to be on a good team – winning and all that – it might not be the opportunity to reach my potential.”

NBA NOTES

Kaman agrees to join Lakers The ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES – Chris Kaman is headed back to Los Angeles, this time with the Lakers.

The 7-foot free agent center who spent the first eight years of his career with the Clippers said Monday on Twitter he had agreed to join the Lak- Chris Kaman ers. The deal reportedly is for one year at $3.2 million.

“I am going to be going back to LA and it’s to play for the Lakers!” Kaman wrote. “I am excited about this move and can’t wait to play!”

Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak later issued a statement through the team saying Los Angeles has been negotiating with Kaman and intends to sign him.

It will be Kaman’s second straight season on a one-year contract. He had an $8 million deal to be the starter in Dal-

las last season but spent more than half of every game on coach Rick Carlisle’s bench.

He spent the previous season with New Orleans after he was part of the trade that sent Chris Paul to the Clippers.

The Lakers grabbed Kaman after Dwight Howard chose not to return and agreed to a deal with the Houston Rockets.

Nuggets to acquire Foye: At Oakland, Calif., the Denver Nuggets will get something back for Andre Iguodala after all.

The Nuggets agreed to separate sign-and-trade deals that will land them guard Randy Foye from the Utah Jazz and send Iguodala to the Golden State Warriors, a person familiar with the decision said Monday.

The Warriors planned to sign Iguodala to a four-year, $48 million deal as a free agent last week. Instead, the restructured deal will give Golden State more salary cap flexibility, deliver Denver a $9 million trade exception and help Utah build for the future

with expiring contracts and draft picks.

The person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because teams are not allowed to confirm moves until the new league year begins Wednesday, said the original Warriors-Jazz deal remains intact.

The Warriors will clear more than $24 million by sending Richard Jefferson, Andris Biedrins and Brandon Rush to the Jazz along with the package of draft picks. All three are in the last year of their contracts. Golden State is only taking back Kevin Murphy and his nonguaranteed $788,000 deal from Utah.

Cavs meet with Bynum: At Cleveland, the Cavaliers hosted free-agent center Andrew Bynum on Monday, a person familiar with the visit told The Associated Press. The 7-foot Bynum, who didn’t play for Philadelphia last season because of a knee injury, met with team officials at Cleveland Clinic Courts, the club’s suburban facility.

Hartman stays at parents’ home • MUSICK Continued from page C1 Not long after Hartman headed to Ann Arbor, his family moved to Palatine. Hartman is staying at his family’s house for the duration of the Hawks prospect camp.

It’s normal for an 18-yearold to spend all or part of the

summer at home.

What’s not normal is for that 18-year-old to be the first-round draft pick of his hometown team. The same hometown team that won the Stanley Cup weeks earlier.

“I don’t think there’s really any added pressure at all,” Hartman said. “At the end of the day, you’ve got a new

team and you’ve got to prove yourself either way.”

Well, first, get healthy.

Then go ahead and prove yourself.

ATTLEBORO, Mass. – A man facing an accessory to murder charge in the case involving former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was ordered held without bail Monday, and a judge ruled that search warrants that had earlier been sealed may be released.

Ernest Wallace pleaded not guilty in District Court in Attleboro, Mass. The Miramar, Fla. man will be held without bail until another hearing July 22, under an agreement between his attorney and prosecutors.

Details of the charge against Wallace – accessory to murder after the fact – were not released during the brief proceeding. Bristol County District Attorney C. Samuel Sutter declined comment on the specific allegations outside the courthouse, citing the ongoing investigation into the death of Odin Lloyd.

Lloyd, a semi-pro football player, was found dead June 17 at an industrial park in North Attleborough not far from Hernandez’s home.

The 27-year-old Lloyd’s relatives say he was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee and that the two men were friends.

Prosecutors said Wallace, 41, and another man, Carlos Ortiz, were with Hernandez when they drove with Lloyd to the industrial park. Authorities said Hernandez orchestrated the killing because he was upset at Lloyd for talking to certain people at a nightclub a few days earlier; they have not said who fired the fatal shots.

Wallace did not speak during the hearing but mouthed “I love you” to some people sitting in the courtroom before he was led out. Defense attorney David Meier did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

Meanwhile, during a separate hearing Monday in the same courthouse, a judge lifted an impoundment order on search warrants related to the case. Motions to unseal the material were filed

by The Patriot Ledger and Taunton Gazette newspapers and their parent Gatehouse Media, supported by The Associated Press and The Boston Globe.

Ernest Wallace mouths words to people sitting in Attleboro District Court, in Attleboro, Mass., during his arraignment Monday.

Gregg Miliote, Sutter’s spokesman, said the judge allowed for their release as of 2 p.m. Tuesday unless there is an appeal. It was not immediately clear whether Hernandez’s legal team would mount a challenge. A message left for attorney James Sultan wasn’t immediately returned.

Sutter opposed the search warrants’ release but said outside court his office accepted the ruling.

Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder and gun charges. His lawyers argue the case against him is circumstantial and say he is eager to clear his name. A judge has denied bail for Hernandez, and he is being held in a Massachusetts jail.

Ortiz, who lives in Hernandez’s hometown of Bristol, Conn., was arraigned last month on a charge of illegally carrying a firearm on the day of the shooting. A not guilty plea was entered on his behalf.

Ortiz is due in court Tuesday morning for a so-called “dangerousness” hearing.

Defendants who are deemed by the court to be a danger to the community may be held without bail for 90 days.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft said Monday that if the charges against Hernandez are true, his organization has been “duped.” The Patriots last year signed Hernandez to a five-year contract worth $40 million but released him the day of his arrest.

Kraft also said the Patriots will “be looking at our procedures and auditing how we do things” with regard to character reviews.

NFL

NFL, retired players ordered to negotiate

By MARYCLAIRE DALE The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA – The NFL and former players must try to negotiate a dispute over whether complaints about concussion-related injuries belong in court or in arbitration, a federal judge said Monday.

U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody of Philadelphia had p l a n n e d t o Anita Brody rule July 22 in a legal fight that involves about 4,200 former players and could be worth billions of dollars.

But instead she ordered the two sides to begin mediation with retired federal Judge Layn Phillips. The retirees want the right to sue the league, while the NFL insists the claims must be arbitrated under terms of the collective bargaining agreement.

Brody asked for a progress report by Sept. 3, while placing a gag order on the lawyers. Both sides agreed to comply.

Many former players say they suffer from dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological conditions,

which they believe stem from on-field concussions. The league insists that safety always has been a top priority.

Both sides have something to fear from a court ruling.

Brody could throw out the lawsuits and steer them to arbitration; or accept some or all of them, and open up internal NFL files to plaintiffs’ lawyers looking for a smoking gun. Still, sports law professor Marc Edelman, who teaches at Fordham University and Baruch College, called it “highly unlikely” that either side would budge during mediation.

“The sentimental impact of this type of case is one that would make it strongly advantageous for the plaintiffs to get to a jury,” Edelman said. “The position the NFL has taken is they are not liable for anything that’s happened to the players.”

In legal arguments before Brody in April, NFL lawyer Paul Clement said teams bear the chief responsibility for health and safety under the contract, along with the players’ union and the players themselves. Players’ lawyer David Frederick accused the league of concealing studies linking concussions to neurological problems for decades.

TRACK AND FIELD

A new race for Gebrselassie

By KIRUBEL TADESSE The Associated Press ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia – Distance running great Haile Gebrselassie is entering politics and may run for president of Ethiopia – even if his wife is not sure it’s a good idea.

The two-time Olympic gold medalist and multiple world champion in the 10,000 meters told The Associated Press on Monday he wants to “reach more people” through politics, a topic most Ethiopians avoid in their restrictive, closely watched society.

The “big mistake” would be to stay out of politics and miss the chance to do something to help, the famous runner said.

“We are here in our country, Ethiopia. And as long as we live here, we should play our part. We have to sort [out] any problems we have,” Gebrselassie said.

The 40year-old is used to breaking barriers, Haile having set Gebrselassie more than two dozen world records in distances ranging from 5,000 meters to the marathon. He said he will run for a seat in parliament as an independent candidate in 2015, a big deal in Ethiopia where there is just one opposition member in parliament.

The next presidential elec-

tion in September is probably “too soon,” but he said he was considering a future run for that largely ceremonial post so he could use it to unite and promote his East African country.

Gebrselassie is not completely new to this game, either, having helped set up a group called the Elders Council, which brokered peace between the ruling party and opponents after postelection violence in 2005 that left hundreds dead and led to opposition leaders being jailed.

Gebrselassie’s influence helped free them.

Gebrselassie said that while his wife and other family members are wary of Ethiopian politics, he thinks it’s an important next move to make.

Tottenham goalkeeper Brad Friedel stretches during a training session in March in Enfield, England. Friedel, 42, is eager to begin another season in August.

SOCCER

Forever young Friedel, 42, looks toward another season

By ROB HARRIS The Associated Press LONDON – Back from his summer break and ready for yet another season, Brad Friedel is savoring every last second of his time on the field.

At 42, the American goalkeeper still has the hunger – for the preseason routines and the fight for playing time at Tottenham.

But the player who holds the Premier League record for the most consecutive appearances (310) knows this must end one day.

With that in mind, Friedel is spending time in the classroom, earning his coaching qualifications and planning for the future.

“Whether it’s coaching or management or technical director, I don’t know,” Friedel said Monday in an interview with The Associated Press.

“We have to wait to see if someone wants me to do it.

But right now I still have my playing head on.

“But it’s while I’m still playing that it’s the best time to do your badges, so that’s what I’m doing. I’m not expecting something around the corner.”

The immediate target is to challenge Hugo Lloris for the spot in goal when the new season begins in August.

“My body feels great, it feels the same as it has done the last 10 years or so, so we’ll see how it keeps going,” Friedel said after being fitted in Tottenham’s new jersey.

“I still want to play until I can’t play anymore, but I don’t want to be a situation where I am done playing and I need to spend two, three years on getting my badges.”

Friedel will have a vast storehouse of knowledge once he starts coaching.

He has made a lot of stops along the way. He played for the Columbus Crew from his home state of Ohio, Galatasaray in Turkey and Brondby in Denmark before making the move to England in 1997. After three years at Liverpool came eight seasons at Blackburn and three at Aston Villa before being enticed by Tottenham in 2011.

Both seasons he’s played at Tottenham have resulted in just missing out on qualifying for the Champions

League.

In 2011-12, the crucial fourth place was secured, but the Spurs’ spot was taken by Chelsea after their London rivals finished outside the top four but qualified for the Champions League by winning the competition.

Last season, with Friedel featured in just 11 out of 38 Premier League games, Tottenham finished fifth after spending most of the season in the top four.

Friedel, though, has been told the team will be spending money in an effort to reach Europe’s elite competition again. With a fortune estimated by Forbes magazine at $4.2 billion, owner Joe Lewis is one of the most secretive owners in the Premier League – in public, at least.

“After meeting on numerous times with a few of the board members, they are ambitious and they will try to strengthen the squad,” Friedel said. “We went out to the Bahamas [for an exhibition game in May] with Mr. Lewis, the owner, and he showed us exactly how ambitious he is for the club ... and how much he wants us to win and be successful.”

Tottenham has started early on its transfer activity, signing 24-year-old Brazil midfielder Paulinho from Corinthians in the past week, while star forward Gareth Bale looks set to stay at White Hart Lane.

“The season should be very exciting for us. We look to be building and making our squad stronger and stronger,” Friedel said. “We are not a million miles away

from reaching some of our goals. We also want to try to win some silverware in one of the cups.”

Once the 26-year-old Lloris was in place in November, Friedel’s appearances were largely limited to the FA Cup and Europa League.

“I knew that role was coming when I signed my contract [in December],” said Friedel, who plays alongside compatriot Clint Dempsey.

Having made the last of his 82 appearances for the U.S. in 2005, Friedel has been watching from afar as the national team chases a spot at the 2014 World Cup. The team, under Jurgen Klinsmann, is on track to qualify for Brazil. In its sixteam CONCACAF qualifying group, the U.S. is two points ahead of Costa Rica and five in front of Mexico with four games remaining. The top three teams qualify automatically.

“I have seen a team that went from being a little bit with their backs to the wall to now being in pole position and looking to qualify with ease,” Friedel said. “Whatever ideas and tactics [Klinsmann] is implementing are now working and they are now working very well.”

Might Friedel one day be running the national team?

“My mind is open to anything in the future,” he said. “But then my mind is strictly on playing still at this moment in time.”

For the next season at least.

“I’ll see how my body feels in January and we’ll go from there,” he said.

Although adjustments will have to be made once the scenarios return to 11-on-11, seeing the field with fewer players offers a different perspective.

“It’s a confidence thing,” Hurricanes coach Ed Brucker said. “Does [succeeding in 7-on-7 drills] mean anything?

No. You don’t win any championships in the summer, but it sure does build confidence.

They see things and then when it happens to them in the regular season, they’re not so surprised.”

Huntley coach John Hart sees some benefits from the month he schedules his team in 7-on-7 seven camps and tournaments. The Red Raiders were the only local school to participate in last month’s Red Grange Classic at Wheaton Warrenville South, which brings together some of greater Chicago’s top high school football talent.

The Red Raiders went 3-4 and lost in the first round of the playoffs, 24-15, to Wheaton Warrenville South.

Reigning 6A state runner-up Cary-Grove was invited but declined, coach Brad Seaburg said, because getting involved in competitive 7-on-7 environments won’t benefit the Trojans like it could other teams.

The Trojans take part in three 7-on-7 events each offseason. They limit those because the environment eliminates linemen on both sides of the ball. The offense faces a defensive scheme designed to stop the pass – rather than the run-heavy style of play the Trojans rely on – making 7-on-7 more of a detriment to Seaburg’s preparations.

“It gives our players more of a warped version of what they’re going to see,” said Seaburg, who uses C-G’s

summer program as a way of introducing players to his program’s way of doing things.

“So we just don’t want to get wrapped up playing competitive 7-on-7.”

The annual Grange tournament sends its champion – including this year’s winner, Montini – to the 7-on-7 national championships. But for Huntley, which will jump to Class 8A, getting an early look at some of the region’s top teams provides a bit of a crash course in what the Red Raiders could see this fall.

“The real positive part is you’re getting kids to compete,” Hart said. “We always tell our kids, ‘I couldn’t care less about the score, but how did you compete?’ ” During the two-day Grange event, Hart was encouraged by how his team’s new quarterback – senior Blake Jacobs – handled different competitive situations, giving Jacobs’ teammates a glimpse of what Huntley’s offense could look like this fall.

Yet, there are drawbacks.

Because there’s no pass rush, Hart says plays in 7-on-7 drills take too long to be executed.

Quarterbacks aren’t forced to make decisions in real-time, leaving them to perfect their

play-making later once 11 defensive players on the field.

Because of the personnel who are often on the field during 7-on-7 camps, two free safeties can complicate the way quarterbacks see the field, again taking some of the reality of the situation out of the equation.

When the Red Raiders returned to team drills Monday, Hart could see the experience gained by Jacobs, who was more poised than he was before taking part in 7-on-7 drills and who was more decisive as opposed to being hesitant as he once was.

For Jacobs quarterback Bret Mooney, who participated in three of the Golden Eagles’ four 7-on-7 camps, getting the chance to run through plays – and against other teams – provides a competitive environment that can’t always been simulated in a normal practice setting.

“The bullets aren’t flying,” Mooney said. “But it’s competition, you get some nerves out with the plays and what plays work and what don’t.

You see what route combinations work against different defenses and the more [repetitions] you get, the better you’re going to be.”

MLB NOTES

AMERICAN LEAGUE

O’s Davis highlights HR Derby field The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Baltimore Orioles slugger Chris Davis, who leads the majors with 33 homers, will be one of eight participants in the Home Run Derby on Monday night during AllStar festivities at Citi Field.

Davis was chosen by AL captain Robinson Cano of the New York Yankees. They will be joined on the AL squad by Detroit Tigers bopper Prince Fielder, who won the event last year

and in 2009, and a player yet to be announced.

New York Mets star David Wright, the National League captain, selected 20-year-old Washington phenom Bryce Harper along with Colorado outfielders Carlos Gonzalez and Michael Cuddyer.

Major League Baseball announced the field Monday – or at least most of it.

Cano won the 2011 Home Run Derby in Arizona.

Dodgers place Kemp on DL: At Phoe-

nix, the Los Angeles Dodgers placed center fielder Matt Kemp on the 15-day disabled list Monday with joint inflammation in his troublesome left shoulder.

Manager Don Mattingly said Kemp tried to take early batting practice before Monday night’s game at Arizona but experienced more soreness and, with the All-Star break coming up, it didn’t make sense to play short-handed while Kemp heals.

The move is retroactive to Satur-

day. Kemp was injured while swinging the bat against San Francisco on Friday night and hasn’t played since. He received a cortisone shot Friday night but it hasn’t helped much.

Giants’s Arias goes on DL: At San Francisco, the Giants placed infielder Joaquin Arias on the 15-day disabled list Monday with appendicitis. Nick Noonan was recalled from Triple-A Fresno to fill Arias’ spot before San Francisco opened a three-game series against the New York Mets.

CUBS NOTES

Cubs recall Raley after Hairston deal

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – The Cubs aren’t holding back in moving any tradable players.

Monday’s deal, which sent outfielder Scott Hairston and a player to be named later to the Washington Nationals for minor league righthander Ivan Pineyro and a player to be Brooks Raley named later, marked the Cubs’ second trade in the past week.

The Cubs recalled lefthander Brooks Raley from Triple-A Iowa before Monday’s game to add depth in the bullpen. The Cubs don’t have too many quality outfield options on the 40-man roster to fill Hairston’s spot on the bench.

Junior Lake, an infielder who has been playing in the outfield at Iowa for the past month, could be called up within the next month, especially if the Cubs trade right fielder Nate Schierholtz before the July 31 deadline.

There are two spots open on the Cubs’ 40-man roster.

“We’ll probably keep Raley up until our bullpen is well rested,” general manager Jed Hoyer said. “We’ll make a final decision at that point, but we would like to add another right-handed bat.”

Hairston’s departure also forced manager Dale Sveum to adjust his plans for the designated hitter spot against the Sox. Sveum originally wanted Alfonso Soriano to DH to keep his legs fresh, but with two fewer outfielders available – Brian

Bogusevic is still day to day (hamstring) – catcher Welington Castillo instead got the opportunity. Castillo, however, was scratched from the lineup because of flu-like symptoms and replaced by Luis Valbuena.

Bad timing for Wood: Barring a rainout this week, lefthander Travis Wood probably will not be able to pitch in the All-Star Game.

Wood is on track to pitch Sunday against the Cardinals in the Cubs’ final game before the All-Star break.

According to the collective bargaining agreement, Wood is eligible to pitch up to an inning in the All-Star Game if he wanted to, despite starting Sunday. However, Sveum doesn’t expect that will happen. Because of a taxed bullpen in addition to starter Carlos Villanueva building his pitch count since joining the rotation, Sveum implied it would be too hard to move Wood’s start to another day.

“We didn’t really have the ability to do that,” Sveum said. “Hopefully, he gets to pitch in a lot more All-Star games. You try not to adjust things for something like that even though he obviously made the team and it’s going to be a great experience.”

Roster shuffle: Through the Cubs’ 87 games this season, 41 players have already been used including 23 pitchers.

When Raley makes his first appearance of the season, he will set the franchise record for players used (42) before the All-Star break.

Last year marked the only other time in franchise history with at least 40 players made an appearance before the All-Star break.

MLB ROUNDUP

Big inning carries Texas in Baltimore The ASSOCIATED PRESS BALTIMORE – Ian Kinsler capped a six-run sixth inning with a bases-loaded double, and the Texas Rangers beat the Baltimore Orioles, 8-5, Monday night in a rematch of last year’s AL wild-card game.

The victory thrust the Rangers 15 games over .500 (52-37) for the first time since May 25. It also improved their road record to 25-18, best in franchise history after 43 games.

Tigers 4, Indians 2 (10 inn.): At Cleveland, Max Scherzer remained unbeaten, and Victor Martinez hit a two-run double in the 10th inning as Detroit extended its lead in the AL Central with a win over the second-place Indians.

Rays 7, Twins 4: At St. Petersburg, Fla., Yunel Escobar and Ben Zobrist homered during a three-run seventh inning and surging Tampa Bay beat Minnesota.

Royals 5, Yankees 1: At New York, Jeremy Guthrie neatly handled a nemesis and a long rain delay to pitch into the seventh inning, Billy Butler homered and Kansas City beat New York.

Guthrie (8-6) held the Yankees to just three hits over six innings that included a 59-minute delay for a sun

The White Sox’s Josh Phegley (right) is greeted by third base coach Joe McEwing after Phegley’s home run off Cubs starting pitcher Matt Garza in the third inning Monday at U.S. Cellular Field.

WHITE SOX NOTES

Phegley off to strong start

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – White Sox catcher Josh Phegley already has checked off most of the notable big league firsts through his first two games in the majors.

During two weekend starts at Tampa Bay, Phegley recorded his first career hit, RBI and run scored as well as a home run that came against former Cy Young award winner David Price. On Monday against the Cubs, Phegley homered again – off Matt Garza – in his U.S. Cellular Field debut. He started behind the plate and batted eighth.

Phegley, who is originally from Terre Haute, Ind., which is about three hours from the ballpark, expects plenty of family will come watch him play in the coming weeks.

The offensive production at Triple-A Charlotte from the 25-year-old former first- round draft pick prompted the Sox to bring Phegley to the majors hoping he can provide a boost in a struggling lineup. He hit .316 with 15 home runs and 41 RBIs in 61 games at Charlotte.

“Just starting off so well in

Charlotte and having a good season to begin with kind of took the pressure off me to kind of just keep playing my game,” Phegley said. “Whenever the call came, I would be ready. I had a great year down there and I wanted to keep it rolling and not really think about getting the call too much. Now that I’m up here hopefully I can help this team win.”

Phegley said he wasn’t too surprised when the Sox called him up Friday. Manager Robin Ventura plans to split playing time equally between Phegley and Tyler Flowers.

“I think I put together a good year and kind of felt it coming,” Phegley said. “I was getting a little anxious. … We were on a two-day trip to Gwinnett and I didn’t have much of anything with as far as clothes or anything. I hopped on the plane down to Tampa with what little I had and had to hit the ground running.”

Crain progresses: Reliever Jesse Crain (right shoulder strain) says his throwing shoulder is pain free after going on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday.

Crain said his right shoulder was still sore through Saturday, but he believes he’s ready to start strengthening it before beginning baseball activities. This is the third time since 2009 Crain has experienced a shoulder strain. It will prevent him from participating in the All-Star Game on July 16 at Citi Field in New York.

“My arm just gets tired, and when that happens, unfortunately, I strain it,” Crain said. “Obviously, I’ll know more how it feels when I actually get out there and play catch.”

Scheduling quirk: Monday’s home game represented a logistical complication for the Sox amid a stretch of nine road games in 10 days heading into the All-Star break.

Monday was originally an off day, but their makeup game against the Cubs forced a one-day stop in Chicago after a three-game series in Tampa Bay. To top it off, the Sox face their division rival Detroit Tigers for the first time this season Tuesday. After their three-game series in Detroit, the Sox play Detroit 16 times after the All-Star break.

After that June 11 debacle against the Reds, Garza was questioned about his outing and asked, “Are you still getting your feet wet, getting into a groove from coming off the DL?” Garza could have responded that he was fine or give any of the go-to clichés athletes have ready for almost any question. Instead, Garza began his answer by saying, “I haven’t thrown to [Castillo].”

“That’s what spring training’s for so [Castillo] kind of gets the feel of me, I get the feel of him,” Garza continued.

“I think that’s what we’re trying to do right now just feel each other out. It’s tough.

But being in this game for as many seasons as I have, I need to take control and I need to kind of guide him through it. I’m not doing what I’m supposed to do. It lies on my shoulders and get ready in five days to try and get it right.”

Castillo never had the chance to get it right five days later. In Garza’s five starts since the worst outing in his career, including Monday against the White Sox, Dioner Navarro has been the starting

CUBS 8, WHITE SOX 2 Tipping point: Tied in the eighth inning, the Cubs scored five runs and sent 10 batters to the plate to break the game open. Luis Valbuena’s two-run double off White Sox reliever Matt Thornton gave the Cubs the lead for good.

On the mound: Cubs starter Matt Garza increased his trade value with another stellar start, holding the Sox to two runs (one earned) on five hits in seven innings. Garza didn’t allow a walk and struck out six on 102 pitches. Sox starter Hector Santiago did his part in keeping them in the game, giving up two runs in 51/3 innings.

At the plate: Alfonso Soriano was an on-base machine against the Sox. He went 2 for 3 with an RBI, three runs, one walk and reached on a wild pitch. Soriano also stole two bases. Dave Sappelt recorded a careerhigh four hits. Sox catcher Josh Phegley homered with one out in the third for the first hit off Garza.

Under the radar: According to STATS, since 1921, Phegley is the quickest Sox rookie to hit home runs in consecutive games since Magglio Ordonez in 1997. Soriano’s two stolen bases give him 10 this year which are the most he’s had in a single season since he stole 19 in 2008.

– Meghan Montemurro, mmontemurro@shawmedia.com catcher. While Garza and Navarro have a history dating to their three seasons together with the Rays, Castillo has worked with Garza during past spring trainings.

Manager Dale Sveum has refused to label Navarro as Garza’s personal catcher, although Castillo said “we all know that’s the way it is.”

“Honestly, I feel bad,” Castillo told the Northwest Herald on Monday. “ … I want to catch everybody, but at the same time stuff happens. “ Although Castillo said he hasn’t had many conversa-

tions with Garza since his June 11 post-game comments beyond normal interaction, he’s pulling for his teammate to throw a no-hitter every time he steps on the mound.

The Cubs sure could use that same maturity from Garza, which has been lacking over the course of his three seasons on the North Side.

It’s time for Garza to act like an ace, on and off the field – in a different uniform.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Tony Stewart coasted for at least 250 miles at Daytona International Speedway, where he hardly worked up a sweat until the final hour of the race.

It’s a game he hates to play, dropping to the back of the pack at restrictor-plate races to casually circle the track lap after lap. The strategy of waiting until the end of the race to make a frantic, final push goes against his fundamentals of racing.

But he couldn’t deny the results Saturday night when he found himself in position to challenge Jimmie Johnson for the win.

Although he ultimately settled for second, the finish pushed him a whopping six places to 10th in points in the Sprint Cup standings.

“This is a 195 mph chess match, and the lap that pays is lap 160,” Stewart said. “A lot is said about guys that lag back like that, but we’re in the most competitive series in the country, and when you’re running in the most competitive series in the country you have to do what you think is in the best interest of you, your car, your team and your situation to get to the end.

“Part of winning races is knowing to be where at what times. I know some people don’t like that and some people don’t agree with it, but that’s what I think is the best thing to do in the interest of our race team and to ensure at the end of the day when it’s time to go we have a car that’s capable of doing so.”

Stewart has used that strategy for years at Daytona and Talladega, the two tracks that NASCAR requires the use of horsepower-sapping restrictor plates. The plates control speeds and keep the cars bunched, raising the likelihood of a multicar crash when a driver makes a mistake.

Now more and more drivers are simply riding around for the three quarters, choosing to wait until the end to turn it up a notch.

It was frustrating to fourthplace finisher Clint Bowyer, who had voiced his boredom with Daytona several times over the weekend.

“I made a rule with myself at these restrictor-plate tracks to be easy. You know, ride around,” Bowyer said. “It’s boring. You want to be up there racing for every lap led. If you get wiped out,

Tony Stewart climbs in his car Saturday for the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. Stewart’s conservative approach to the race helped him gain six spots in the Sprint Cup standings. how much idle time he spent at Daytona, where drivers run just a few laps of practice to tune their cars, then turn one lap on qualifying day, then sit and wait for the race to take it easy until the end, it became apparent the whole system is broken.

NASCAR will never cut races from 500 or 400 miles to a 25-lap shootout, but that’s basically what they’ve become. Everybody sat around and waited three days to watch the final 25 laps of Saturday night’s race.

At minimum, NASCAR should cut the plate events, excluding the Daytona 500, down to two-day shows for the Sprint Cup Series.

No team is using all its practice time, making it pointless for everyone to be at the track all those hours.

As for the race itself? Who knows? There’s no incentive to race early, and there’s not much NASCAR can do to change that.

For now, we know what we’re going to watch four times a year.

We’ll sit and watch for some wrecks, then wait for it to get crazy at the end.

As he left the track with a second-place points on the same night teammates Danica Patrick and Ryan Newman both wrecked, Stewart accepted plate racing for what he’s stuck with right now.

“With these things being as crazy as they are, if you can end up with a top-two, you’re pretty happy when you leave here,” he said. “One out of three isn’t bad in the organization. The other two got wadded up pretty good.”

NASCAR SPRINT CUP it doesn’t matter who caused it or whose fault it was. If you get wiped out before halfway in one of these restrictor-plate races it’s your own fault. You knew better than to put yourself in that situation.”

The final results Saturday showed that riding in the back is the best strategy for making it to the finish line.

Johnson, who had the dominant car, led a race-high 94 laps and felt confident his speed was enough to keep him out front and ahead of trouble. But Stewart, Kevin Harvick, Bowyer and Michael Waltrip all made it inside the top-five by laying back for at least half the race. David Ragan did the same thing to win at Talladega in May. But Stewart is correct in sensing that many fans don’t like watching drivers take it easy. They gripe and grumble that there’s no point in watching a plate race until the very end because that’s when it gets exciting.

So what does NASCAR do about this predicament? Series officials can’t force drivers to race hard, and there doesn’t seem to be any real consequence to laying back. Several years ago when Denny Hamlin was in the thick of the championship race, he lost a tandem partner while racing at the back and fell out of the draft.

In danger of going a lap down and ruining his title chances, fellow Toyota driver Waltrip got out of the gas and slid back to rescue Hamlin.

And NASCAR can’t take the plates off unless it figures a way to slow the cars, which nobody has been able to do at the two biggest and fastest tracks in the series.

Murray mania: Knighthood next?

By CHRIS LEHOURITES The Associated Press LONDON – Britain awoke to a new era Monday, into a world in which the tennis-loving public finally has its own Wimbledon champion once again.

“After 77 years, the wait is over,” headlined the Daily Telegraph, a day after Andy Murray beat Novak Djokovic in straight sets to win the men’s title at the All England Club.

With the victory, Murray became the first British man to win the Wimbledon title since Fred Perry in 1936, a victory that has already sparked talk of a knighthood.

“Arise Sir Andrew, knight of the holy grail,” The Times of London wrote in its lead story.

“Impossibly, dreamily, unbelievably and yet somehow almost easily, somehow almost inevitably, Andy Murray won the Men’s Singles final at Wimbledon yesterday.”

AP photo

Shirley and Roy Erskine, grandparents of Andy Murray, pose with the morning newspapers Monday at their home in Dunblane, Scotland, after their grandson’s Wimbledon victory Sunday.

Murray beat Djokovic, 6-4, 7-5, 6-4, on a warm day under the sun at Centre Court, playing his usual defensive style almost perfectly against an opponent who also plays often-spectacular defensive tennis.

Prime Minister David Cam-

eron, who watched the match from the Royal Box, seemed to be on board with Murray getting knighted and joining the ranks of other sporting greats such as Roger Bannister, Nick Faldo and Kelly Holmes.

“I can’t think of anyone who deserves one more,” Cam-

eron said.

Murray, however, quickly downplayed the possibility.

“It’s a nice thing to have or be offered,” the 2013 Wimbledon champion said. “I think just because everyone’s waited for such a long time for this, that’s probably why it will be suggested, but I don’t know if it merits that.”

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the national papers – all of them – featured Murray on their front pages.

“History in his hands,” headlined the Daily Mirror.

Across the Daily Express were the words “Magical Murray.”

The Guardian had the simplest front page – a huge photo of Murray kissing the trophy with “Champion” written across the bottom.

According to the BBC, a peak of 17.3 million people in Britain watched the match on television. Last year’s final, in which Murray lost to Roger Federer, reached a peak of 17 million.

Champion Bartoli looks like a winner A glance at the list of men’s singles champions at Wimbledon the past dozen years reveals plenty of pleasant-enough looking chaps, though not a single slam-dunk male model in the bunch.

No matter. Each one was instantly fawned over the moment he held the trophy aloft, celebrated for toughness, smarts and the kind of devotion that knows no quit.

Marion Bartoli displayed all of those qualities – and Marion more – on the way to winning Bartoli Wimbledon in this most tumultuous of years.

But because she’s a woman, at least one man behind a microphone couldn’t stop there.

His name is John Inverdale, and even as Bartoli headed toward the spectator’s box where the father who taught her to play tennis sat, Inverdale’s listeners on BBC Radio were treated to some musings about how she came to possess a champion’s ability.

“Do you think Bartoli’s dad told her when she was little, ‘You’re never going to be a looker? You’ll never be a Sharapova, so you have to be scrappy and fight.’ ” Inverdale has apologized, of course, though that hardly came off better than his original remark. The BBC did, too, before reporting that nearly 700 viewers called in as of Monday night to complain. It’s kicked up a row in print, on the airwaves and across social media over in Britain similar to the one that buzzed briefly over here when Brent Musburger awkwardly rambled on about Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron’s girlfriend during the broadcast of the college football national championship.

The principals who find themselves the subjects of such remarks rarely make it out of the ensuing media circus gracefully, but the Bartolis are proving themselves rare exceptions.

For her part, Bartoli showed up for the champion’s dinner looking like a model — “her dark hair down in a loose wave ... figure-hugging black dress ... sky-high ankle boots,” as one British newspaper breathlessly reported – and then said, “I invite this journalist to come and see me this evening in ball gown and heels, and in my opinion he could change his mind.”

When her father, Dr. Walther Bartoli, was asked about Inverdale’s comments, he simply said, “I am not angry. She is my beautiful daughter. The relationship between Marion and me has always been unbelievable, so I don’t know what this reporter is talking about.”

Neither did Inverdale at the time – and that’s the real shame in this whole mess.

There actually is a long, very tender and very complicated backstory behind the latest

VIEWS Jim Litke Wimbledon champion and her father that has nothing to do with her “looks.”

Walther Bertoli was Marion’s first coach, largely reponsible for her jarring style. She plays aggressively, but isn’t very fast. She hits two-handed off both sides, a strategy Walther Bartoli insisted she master after watching Monica Seles rise to the top of the heap nearly 20 years ago. His guidance was important enough that only last summer, Bartoli reportedly turned down a chance to represent France at the London Olympics because of national federation rules about having private coaching at a previous event.

But in February, Bartoli arrived at the same crossroad that a number of great athletes and their parents-as-coaches often do.

She and her father parted ways, and after some shopping around Bartoli wound up settling on former Wimbeldon champion and countrywoman Amelie Mauresmo. And indeed, she got fitter and more mobile.

Bartoli didn’t drop a set throughout the past fortnight, an impressive feat when you consider how all the top seeds stumbled, including Maria Sharapova, who actually works in her spare time as a model.

Bartoli was beset by plenty of the same nerves that felled the rest. Watching her hop back and forth awaiting serves can make you twitchy, but it’s one of those things Bartoli relied on since she was young to help cope with the pressure.

Old habits are hard to break, which also explains why she looked often in her father’s direction during her win over Sabine Lisicki in what was a mistake-filled final. Bartoli had been in Lisicki’s sneakers in 2007, when she lost the title match to Venus Williams. No one likely understood better the distance she had traveled since that day than Walther.

No doubt he told her, from the time Bartoli was small, that she’d have to “be scrappy and fight.” Inverdale got that part right. Plenty of athletes have heard the same thing from one parent or another over and over throughout their careers.

But the other part, the part about how she was “never going to be a looker” is not just cruel, it’s stupid. Because if it were true, we’d have precious few champions to fawn over – man or woman – in the first place.

Improving your game Tennis involves strength, speed, agility, footwork and endurance to last the match. Incorporating these strategies into your workout will elevate your game. n Strength training increases the power of your shots and minimizes injuries by protecting the joints that are subject to repetitive stress. Try a combination of dumbbells, resistance bands and cable machines. Focus on the whole body with a circuitstyle workout. n Plyometrics exercises such as squat jumps, split lunges and box jumps help prepare the body for the quick moves necessary in tennis. Incorporate sideto-side lateral hops and jumping rope for improved footwork. n Cardio is important because in tennis, sometimes the only way to win is to outlast your opponent.

Aging eyes Severe vision loss is a reality for people with agerelated macular degeneration, a disease of the retina that affects more than 9.1 million people in the United States.

It is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss and legal blindness in people 60 and older.

At this time, there is no cure and no way to reverse its effects, although there are advanced treatments, including medication injections, laser surgery and, what is most recently getting attention, an FDAapproved telescope implant that has been clinically demonstrated to improve vision for patients with this disease.

NEW RESEARCH

Limb regrowth There’s promise for amputees who one day may benefit from therapies to regenerate lost limbs, according to a paper published in the journal Nature.

Mammals possess the ability to regenerate a lost fingertip, including the nail, nerves and bone. Scientists have recently discovered a clue why nails grow. Within the nail bed is a population of self-renewing stem cells that is rich in the proteins that are crucial to hair and tissue regeneration, a possible link to scientific discovery.

Financial recovery?

Fewer U.S. families are having difficulty paying medical bills

By JUDITH GRAHAM Kaiser Health News Fewer American families are having problems paying medical bills, according to a study released June 4 by the National Center for Health Statistics.

Still, nearly a fifth of families still struggle with that financial responsibility.

The report found 20.3 percent of families headed by someone younger than 65 – 54.2 million people – had difficulty covering medical expenses in the first half of 2012, compared with 21.7 percent of families – or 57.8 million people – in the same period in 2011.

The federal agency didn’t offer an explanation for its finding.

Other experts said factors likely driving the decline include a more robust economy, declines in the use of health care services, slower increases in health care costs, and provisions in the Affordable Care Act that expand insurance coverage to young adults and eliminate lifetime caps on insurance benefits and phase out annual caps.

“Two things may be happening,” said David Newman, executive director of the Health Care Cost Institute in Washington, D.C. “The financial situation of many families is improving, along with the economy. And people appear to be consuming fewer health care services; as this happens, they have fewer bills to pay.”

Largest study The NCHS report is by far the largest study of its kind. Results come from in-person interviews with 155,321 individuals conducted between January 2011 and June 2012. Other research that has examined the burden of medical bills on families has been based on much smaller samples.

Individuals without insurance were the only group to experience more difficulties paying medical bills: 36.3 percent reported this concern in the first half of 2012, up from 35.7 percent a year earlier.

By contrast, 14 percent of families with private insurance had similar problems in the first half of 2012, down from 15.7 percent the year before.

Among those with public insurance – Medicaid, military programs, Children’s Health Insurance Program coverage, Medicare, and other plans – 25.6 percent said it was hard to cover medical expenses in the first half of 2012, a drop from 28 percent a year ago.

Supports other research Other research lends weight to the findings. In April, the Commonwealth Fund published a report that suggested there was a “leveling off” between 2010 and 2012 in what had previously been steady increases in the number of people who have trouble making payments on medical bills, said Sara Collins, a vice president at the Commonwealth Fund and an author of the report.

The new report’s findings are also “broadly consistent” with

what the Center for Studying Health System Change found in a December 2011 report tracking families’ difficulty paying medical bills, according to Peter Cunningham, a senior fellow at the Washington, D.C., organization.

“Since 2010, we’ve seen very little change in the number,” he said, probably because of “the moderation in health care costs and because people have been pulling back on their health care utilization and spending.”

Sunscreen can slow skin aging process It’s the time of year to start thinking about applying sunscreen as you wander outdoors.

The main reason sunscreens are used is to prevent skin cancer. However, a recent article discussed another use of sunscreens – protecting the skin from aging.

But do they really accomplish this goal?

In this study, 900 adults 55 or younger were followed for 4½ years. They were divided into various groups, but the two main groups were those

VIEWS Dr. Murray Feingold who used sunscreens almost on a daily basis and those who used them only periodically.

During the study period, the changes that skin undergoes as part of the aging process were followed by the use of microtopography.

Results of microtopography showed that the skin in the group that used sunscreens

almost daily during the 4½ years of the study did not show excessive aging.

This is in contrast to the skin changes that took place in the group that used sunscreens only periodically. There was 24 percent less aging of the skin in the group that used sunscreens almost daily compared to when it was used periodically.

It also has been claimed by some that beta carotene has a beneficial effect on skin aging.

However, in this study this was not shown to be true. It is

recommended that sunscreens that have a skin protection factor or SPF of 15 or higher be used.

Today, there are sunscreens that have SPFs of 50 or even 100. Does that mean a sunscreen that has an SPF of 100 is twice as effective as one with 50?

The answer is no. In fact, using a SPF of 100 provides just minimally more protection compared to using a SPF of 50.

Concerns have also been raised that sunscreens with such high SPFs may have a

detrimental effect on the skin.

The good news is, at least according to this study, sunscreens not only help prevent skin cancer, but they help to slow down the skin’s aging process.

Hybrid yoga routine pairs each pose with toning moves

By VICKY HALLETT The Washington Post Want a physique as awesome as Jennifer Aniston’s?

You might not be able to see it in the mirror yet, but you already have one, said Mandy Ingber.

And she’d know. The celebrity yoga and fitness instructor works out with the “Friends” star three days a week, using a plan she’s broken down for wider audiences in her new book, “Yogalosophy: 28 Days to the Ultimate Mind-Body Makeover” ($20, Seal).

At the heart of Ingber’s fitness strategy is a simple idea that she’s slapped right on the cover: “Having the body you want begins with loving the body you have.” It’s the advice Ingber gave herself years ago when she packed on 50 extra pounds after a random physical assault.

“If I love myself now, then if nothing changes, I’ll at least feel better,” Ingber remembers thinking. The positive-reinforcement approach created a snowball effect of healthier choices.

She returned to the yoga practice she learned from her father when she was growing up, and soon enough, she was pumping the pedals of a bike at the front of a Los Angeles cycling class.

Her passion drew in the Hollywood elite, and Ingber – a former actress whose credits include “Cheers” and “Teen Witch” – found herself training Aniston, Kate Beckinsale and Helen Hunt.

The method Ingber relies on to keep her clients redcarpet ready is a hybrid yoga routine that pairs each pose with a toner. So when she’s on all fours for the spinal stretch of cat-cow, she adds in side leg lifts. After holding side plank, she does a set of tricep pushups.

“It’s a little something extra,” Ingber said. “For people who’ve never done yoga, it’s something familiar. For people who have, it makes it a little more challenging.”

Depending on how many squats she tacks on to chair pose, it can be a lot more chal-

lenging – but also a lot more effective.

Ingber sees herself as a bridge between the yoga and fitness worlds. A self-proclaimed “cardio queen,” she values incorporating other forms of exercise into her schedule.

That’s why the 28-day plan detailed in the book goes beyond her standard selection of yoga poses and toners to suggest supplements such as dance parties, long walks and even mountain climbing.

Each day comes with an intention, a playlist, a recipe and other guidance, but Ingber wants to make sure her readers understand they have plenty of leeway to do whatever feels right.

“Nothing is rigid, and everything is movable,” Ingber said.

No matter your mood, Ingber recommends carving out time every day to write down five things you’re grateful for.

“If you focus on what’s wonderful, that’s where the energy will go,” she said. “If you just did that for 28 days, you’d see a difference.”

Celebrity yoga and fitness instructor Mandy Ingber has a new book “Yogalosophy: 28 Days to the Ultimate Mind-Body Makeover”; at the heart of Ingber’s fitness strategy is a simple idea that she’s slapped right on the cover: “Having the body you want begins with loving the body you have.”

Idea for surprise wedding may need further thought Dear Abby: I am thinking about planning a “surprise” wedding for me and my fiancé. We have been together for eight years and have lived together for seven. We put off the wedding for many reasons, chiefly the cost because those things are expensive.

We do not want to just elope.

The idea of having a theme party and inviting all our friends and family occurred to me the other day. Then, in the middle of it, we could bring in a priest and tie the knot. I have figured out the cost, and it shouldn’t be more than a grand. We could swing that.

But my question is, do we tell anyone about it beforehand? I told one of my girlfriends and my fiancé, and they think it’s a great idea.

It would take a lot of stress off. Should I tell my parents?

They sometimes blab (Dad is worse than Mom) when they’re excited about something. – Stealth Bride-To-Be Dear Stealth Bride-To-Be: One person you should definitely discuss this with would be the priest. Ask if he would be willing to marry a couple who has been living together because some aren’t, and also if he’d prefer the solemn vows be taken in a house of worship rather than a theme-party atmosphere.

If that’s the case, you may have to settle for an officiant of another faith or a justice of the peace to perform the ceremony.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Also, I suggest you rethink your idea of keeping this happy news from your folks, who may have been praying for this for seven years. They might feel very hurt to find they were kept in the dark.

Dear Abby: My husband’s stepmother and father send religious-themed gifts for every holiday. We have an abundance of unused books, DVDs, stickers, coloring books, dolls, bookmarks, etc., bought from local Christian stores for a hefty price.

We don’t see them often during the year because we live in different states, but we would like our kids to have a good relationship with them.

The kids don’t seem to be fazed by it, but they also don’t get excited about opening and using these gifts.

We pay for our children to participate in religious education as well as attend several church functions during the school year. We believe grandparents should be interested in learning about what each child is drawn to, and not so much about preaching their own religious beliefs to us. It makes us uncomfortable and resentful at times.

How does one politely tell in-laws to stop sending religious-themed gifts? – Over-

loaded In South Carolina

Dear Overloaded: One doesn’t. A better way to handle it would be to communicate with them between these holidays and tell them what activities the grandkids are involved in, and any new interests they may have. A stronger hint than that would be offensive, and I don’t recommend it.

As to what to do with the unused items – donate them.

Dear Abby: When my daughter calls her motherin-law “Mom,” it hurts my feelings. I gave birth to her, worked hard to put a roof over her head and food in her mouth. She has only one mother during her lifetime – ME. I never called my mother-in-law “Mom.” The name meant something to me, and it was reserved for the woman who gave me life.

– Disappointed In Idaho Dear Disappointed: Many women besides your daughter call their mothers-in-law “Mom.” Rather than be jealous and territorial, you should be happy your daughter has such a warm relationship with her mother-in-law.

However, because you feel slighted, ask if she would be willing to call her MIL “Mama Smith” – something other than her name for you when you are all together in order to avoid “confusion.”

Homeowner Christine Igot knows one thing for sure. “I will not have a fridge in my kitchen ever again,” she says firmly.

In the new house she’s building, in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, the 51-year-old is putting the refrigerator in a pantry off the kitchen and will double insulate the walls. Why? All that noise, noise, noise.

Her present house has an open plan, and the sound of the fridge drives her crazy. “I tried to get used to it. I had an appliance man come to see if it was running properly.” It was – it just emitted a highpitched whine.

Roxanne Went uses her car as “a cone of silence” to escape the noise of leaf blowers outside her suburban West Chester, Pa., home, and of family members’ blaring music inside.

For baby boomers, noise matters.

“Decreased tolerance for loud sounds is a fairly common symptom of age-related hearing loss, as the range of comfortable listening levels seems to shrink,” said Ted Madison, an audiologist in St. Paul, Minn., and a representative of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.

Beyond creating stress and annoyance, loud noises can cause hearing loss, experts say. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health reckons that noise over 85 decibels may cause hearing loss.

So what are the loud products we live with at home?

According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, based in Rockville, Md., the “very loud” range includes blenders, blow dryers, vacuum cleaners and alarm clocks, all in the 80 to 90 decibel range.

In Brighton, England, a Noise Abatement Society fields complaints from citizens about annoyances ranging from neighbors’ power tools to barking dogs to wind chimes. Managing director Poppy Elliot said her team decided to channel the collective angst over unwanted noise into “Quiet Mark,” a seal of approval they give to products designed to be quieter. So far more than 35 products have received the designation, from hair dryers to commercial tools, and Eliot said the organization was expanding globally.

“The ultimate aim is to encourage industry across the board to put a high priority on factoring in low noise at the design stage. Investment in acoustic design and sound quality of a product should be

just as important as energy efficiency or visual design,” Elliot said.

Manufacturers are responding to concerns about noise with new, quieter products.

LG has several – including the TrueSteam dishwasher – that use a Direct Drive motor, an alternative to the noisier belt-and-pulley system of traditional motors.

Swiss-based Liebherr uses low-sound dual air compressors and cooling circuits in their high-end fridges. And Samsung’s dishwasher has extra insulation, which cuts the sound.

Food processing pioneer Magimix has a new multitasking mixer that chops, slices, whisks, grates, kneads and mixes all in one machine, and does it quietly with an induction motor. Induction motors, which don’t use stiff brushes to transfer electricity, mean a weightier but quieter appliance.

Rowenta’s noise-reducing inventions include the Turbo Silence home fan and the Silence Form Extreme vacuum cleaner, which emits a decidedly timid 65 decibels.

Electrolux’s Ultra Silencer canister vacuum comes in at 68 decibels.

And Stihl has a line of lithium-ion battery yard gear that are much quieter than gas-powered equipment.

Fibroids can be surgically removed Dear Dr. K: I saw my doctor for intense pain and heavy bleeding during my periods. It turns out I have fibroids. What are my treatment options?

Dear Reader: A fibroid is a lump or growth in the uterus. The uterus is made of a special kind of muscle.

The muscle doesn’t do much most of the time, but once a month, it ejects the bloody discharge that collects inside it. During pregnancy, it expands to accommodate the growing baby. And, of course, the uterus squeezes out the baby at the time of birth.

Fibroids are balls of uterine muscle. They are almost never cancerous, but they can cause severe pain and discomfort, most often during menstrual periods.

In some cases, fibroids can cause infertility or repeated miscarriages. Fortunately, many treatment options exist.

Fibroids can be as small as a pea or as large as a basketball (really). They are usually round and pinkish, and they can grow anywhere inside or on the uterus. (I’ve put an illustration on my website.)

Some women with fibroids do not have symptoms and may not realize they have them until a gynecologist feels them during a pelvic exam. Small fibroids

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff that are not causing symptoms and don’t interfere with fertility do not need to be treated.

In other cases, women experience pain and heavy bleeding. A doctor may prescribe medications that stop the ovaries from making the female hormone estrogen, which fibroids need to grow.

This controls excessive bleeding and temporarily shrinks the fibroids. When the medication is stopped, periods return and fibroids start growing again.

Fibroids that cause severe symptoms or interfere with fertility may be surgically removed. There are several techniques: • In a myomectomy, the fibroid is cut from the uterine wall. Myomectomy allows a woman to keep her entire uterus in case she wants to have children.

In some cases, a traditional surgical approach is needed. The doctor makes a large incision in the lower abdomen, sees the uterus directly and cuts out the fibroids.

Often a less invasive procedure, laparoscopic surgery, can be done. A flexible tube or scope is placed

through those incisions.

At the end of the scope is a light, a camera and surgical instruments that the doctor can manipulate. Instead of seeing the uterus and fibroids directly, the doctor sees them on a video monitor and watches the surgery she is doing on the monitor.

Because laparoscopic procedures are less invasive, people recuperate faster.

• In a hysteroscopic resection, a viewing instrument called a hysteroscope is inserted into the uterus through the vagina. Surgical instruments attached to the hysteroscope remove fibroids growing inside the uterus.

• In the X-ray-guided procedure called uterine artery embolization, material is injected into the arteries that provide blood to the fibroids. Starving the fibroid of blood shrinks it.

• Hysterectomy involves the removal of the uterus.

Once the uterus is removed, a woman can no longer bear children.

Fibroids often shrink on their own after menopause, because they no longer have enough female hormones to grow.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

CROSSWORD

HOROSCOPE

▲ ▲

TODAY - To be successful in the year ahead, you should free yourself from all distractions and focus on your goals and objectives. If you attempt to do too much too fast, it could quickly lead to your undoing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- This may not be one of your better days for managing resources, either yours or other people’s. Even if asked to do so, don’t take on any fiscal responsibilities.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If someone thinks you’re acting self-serving, this person might place obstacles in your path just to trip you up. Don’t give them an excuse to interfere -- be openly generous and altruistic.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- When attempting to fulfill an ambitious objective, you should keep moderation in mind. Even if you’re on the right track, watch out, because the rail might be flimsy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Any involvement that has strong elements of risk or speculation would be best avoided today. There’s a chance that your belief in losing might take precedence over your will to win.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Even though you’re apt to be ambitious and industrious, you might do things the hard way, which will end up being counterproductive. Think your moves through carefully.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If you’re trying to bluff your way through something, you had better have a good poker face. Opponents will easily read your intentions if you’re not careful.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It will take some exceptionally shrewd maneuvering on your part to come out on top in a business matter. Keep this in mind when you sit down to negotiate.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Strive to maintain harmony and balance in all of your personal and business affairs. If you don’t, things could get out of sync very quickly.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Sadly, others won’t be as eager to help you as you are to help others. Don’t embarrass yourself by requesting a favor from someone unless it’s absolutely necessary.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Even though you try to promote cooperation, you might still run into someone who resists all such attempts. Don’t be afraid to play rough.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you find yourself having to share credit with someone you dislike, don’t make your feelings obvious. Be above it all and give acknowledgement where it is due.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It isn’t likely that you’ll get others to have faith in your ideas if you show doubt about them yourself. Have confidence or go home.

By PHILLIP ALDER Newspaper Enterprise Association

J.P. Morgan of banking fame said, “A man always has two reasons for doing anything -- a good reason and the real reason.”

A bridge player chooses a bid for two reasons -- to describe his hand as accurately as possible and to reach the right inal contract. Of course, they are symbiotic, one helping the other.

However, sometimes it isn’t obvious what bid to make. Look at the South hand. You open one spade, and partner responds two clubs. What would you rebid?

A columnist explained that with 6-4 shape, opener rebids in his six-card suit with a minimum, but shows the side suit when he has extras. That is true only when the four-card suit is a minor.

When it is a major, opener always shows it. To rebid two spades here in principle denies four hearts.

Now look at the West hand. What would you lead against seven hearts?

The writer gave a bizarre auction before discussing the play in seven hearts after West leads a low club. South wins with his queen, then

should ruff a spade, cash the heart king, play a heart to his ace, ruff another spade, ruff a club to establish the suit, draw East’s last trump, and claim, the diamond ace being the entry to the club winners. He takes one spade, three hearts, one diamond, ive clubs and the three ruffs.

But why would West lead a club? Perhaps he hoped that East was void in the suit. But if he had been, he probably would have made a Lightner Slam Double, asking for a lead in the irst suit bid by dummy. A diamond lead defeats seven hearts. In general, do not lead suits bid by the opponents.
