DeKALB – If you didn’t know better, you would think you were at the game itself.

Fans of Northern Illinois University football crowded watering holes including Fatty’s Pub & Grille, 1312 W. Lincoln Highway, and O’Leary’s Restaurant and Bar, 260 E. Lincoln Highway, eager to see their beloved Huskies compete on the big stage against Florida State at the Orange Bowl on Tuesday.

And when it came to showing their feelings, they were anything but shy. They cheered at what they liked, and booed at what they didn’t.

After all the cheering and groaning was over, the Huskies had fallen, 31-10.

Dina Sweet, a DeKalb resident and NIU alumna, watched the game at Fatty’s with two of her friends as a way to support her university and her cousin, who was at the game in Miami. Sweet was hoping for a Huskies victory

Tuesday night.

“The underdogs should always win,” Sweet said.

Fatty’s was packed with people, including NIU alumni Ryan Markowski and Nick Clauss, who arrived at Fatty’s at 12:30 p.m.

Markowski and Clauss drove to Fatty’s from Belvidere and Chicago, respectively.

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime game,” Markowski said. “Hopefully, it’s not a blowout. Hopefully, they win ... It’s exciting to see them on the national stage.”

Had they been NIU students, Markowski and Clauss could have traveled to Miami via a student fan bus package, which took 1,300 NIU students by bus to the Orange Bowl for a multinight stay at a cost of $150.

That’s how DHS senior Tom Hagaman, one of the three drum majors on the trip, described the experience thus far.

8 TODAY’S TALKER

Cliff avoided: Congress staves off tax hikes The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Past its own New Year’s deadline, a weary Congress sent President Barack Obama legislation to avoid a national “fiscal cliff” of middle class tax increases and spending cuts late Tuesday night in the culmination of a struggle that strained America’s divided government to the limit.

The bill’s passage on a bipartisan 257167 vote in the House sealed a hard-won political triumph for the president less than two months after he secured re-election while calling for higher taxes on the wealthy.

Moments later, Obama strode into the White House briefing room and declared, “Thanks to the votes of Republicans and Democrats in Congress I will sign a law that raises taxes on the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans while preventing tax hikes that could have sent the economy back into recession.”

He spoke with Vice President Joe Biden at his side, a recognition of the former senator’s role as the lead Democratic negotiator in final compromise talks with Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

In addition to neutralizing middle

class tax increases and spending cuts taking effect with the new year, the legislation will raise tax rates on incomes over $400,000 for individuals and $450,000 for couples. That was higher than the thresholds of $200,000 and $250,000 for which Obama campaigned. But remarkably, in a party that swore off tax increases two decades ago, dozens of Republicans supported the bill at both ends of the Capitol.

The Senate approved the measure on a vote of 89-8 less than 24 hours earlier, and in the interim, rebellious House conservatives demanded a vote to add significant spending cuts to the measure.

But in the end they retreated.

The measure split the upper ranks of the Republican leadership in the House.

Speaker John Boehner of Ohio voted in favor, while Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia and California Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the party’s whip, opposed the bill.

Supporters of the bill in both parties expressed regret that it was narrowly drawn, and fell far short of a sweeping plan that combined tax changes and spending cuts to reduce federal deficits.

That proved to be a step too far in the two months since Obama called congres-

sional leaders to the White House for a postelection stab at compromise.

Majority Republicans did their best to minimize the bill’s tax increases, just as they abandoned their demand from earlier in the day to add spending cuts to the package.

“By making Republican tax cuts permanent, we are one step closer to comprehensive tax reform that will help strengthen our economy and create more and higher paychecks for American workers,” said Rep. Dave Camp of Michigan, chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee.

He urged a vote for passage to “get us one step closer to tax reform in 2013” as well as attempts to control spending.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi also said the legislation included “permanent tax relief for the middle class,” and she summoned lawmakers to provide bipartisan support.

The bill would also prevent an expiration of extended unemployment benefits for an estimated two million jobless, block a 27 percent cut in fees for doctors who treat Medicare patients, stop a $900 pay increase for lawmakers from taking effect in March and head off a threatened spike in milk prices.

Senate deal forged in flurry of final negotiations The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – They had 80 hours to finish or fail.

Stuck in a “fiscal cliff” stalemate, trust nearing tatters, President Barack Obama and Senate Republicans changed the game after Christmas. It took the rekindling of an old friendship between Vice President Joe Biden and GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell, an extraordinary flurry of secret offers, a pre-dawn Senate vote on New Year’s Day, and the legislative muscling that defines Washington on deadline.

The House, despite Republican resistance, passed the Senate bill late Tuesday, sending the measure to Obama for his signature.

How the final days of private negotiations pulled the country – maybe only temporarily – back from the precipice of the fiscal cliff marked a rare moment of bipartisanship for a divided government. Several officials familiar with talks requested anonymity to discuss them because they were not authorized to discuss the private details publicly.

Obama, having cut short his Christmas vaJoe Biden cation in Hawaii, huddled with congressional leaders Friday afternoon at the White House. Talks between the president and House Speaker John Boehner had failed, so Obama put the fate of the fiscal cliff in the hands of McConnell and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

McConnell made the first move. The Kentucky Republican proposed a plan late Friday night that would extend tax cuts expiring Jan. 1 on family income up to $750,000 a year, according to officials. He also wanted to keep tax rates on wealthy estates at 35 percent, slow the growth of Social Security cost-of-living increases, and pay for an offset of the sequester – Congress’ term for across-theboard spending cuts – by means-testing Medicare. His offer did not include the extension of unemployment benefits Obama had demanded.

Democrats balked and began preparing a counteroffer. It called for extending tax cuts for family income up to $350,000, a concession from Obama’s campaign pledge to cap the threshold at $250,000.

The Democratic leader also insisted that any deal include a way to deal with the sequester, plus an extension of the jobless benefits for 2 million Americans.

The negotiating teams traded ideas back and forth on a wintry Saturday.

Shortly before 7 p.m., McConnell presented another offer. He dropped the tax cut threshold to $550,000, put the sequester on the table, and offered a one-year

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., arrives on Capitol Hill on Monday in Washington, D.C. McConnell and Vice President Joe Biden rekindled an old friendship to help get an accord passed in the Senate early Tuesday. extension of the jobless benefits as long as they were paid for through Social Security savings.

Rather than make a counteroffer, the Senate Democratic negotiating team said it was going home for the night. They reconvened Sunday morning – less than two days before the combination of tax hikes and spending cuts were due to kick in – but still had nothing new to present to McConnell.

A frustrated McConnell felt he had one last option. He called Biden, his longtime Senate colleague and frequent negotiating partner, and implored him to step in. Seeking to up the pressure on the White House, McConnell publicly announced that he was reaching out to Biden during remarks from the Senate floor during the rare Sunday session.

Until this late stage, Biden had played a secondary role in the talks. He spent Saturday at his home in Wilmington, Del. Obama and Reid both agreed that Biden, a 36-year veteran of the Senate, should take the lead. And once he did, negotiations with McConnell rapidly accelerated.

Around 8 p.m. Sunday, Obama, Biden and staffers met in the Oval Office to discuss what the vice president would deliver to McConnell as the administration’s final offer.

The president set the upper limit for

the tax cut extension at family income of $450,000. The sequester must be dealt with, he said, and any delay must be offset through a combination of spending cuts and revenue increases. And Obama demanded that the jobless benefits be extended for one year without a way to make up the $30 billion cost.

Shortly after midnight, Biden had McConnell’s consent on nearly all of the outstanding issues. Only the sequester was unresolved, although both men were open to a plan that called for a separate vote on the sequester, pending Reid’s consent.

The White House had spoken to Reid, who rejected the notion of holding a separate sequester vote. Biden broke the news to McConnell in a pre-dawn phone call.

The sequester remained the sticking point throughout Monday, with Biden trading proposals with McConnell’s office for much of the day.

Shortly before 9 p.m., with three hours until the deadline, Biden and McConnell agreed to the final deal. After Obama called Reid and Nancy Pelosi to get their sign-off, the vice president headed up to Capitol Hill to sell the bill to Senate Democrats.

The Senate overwhelmingly approved the Biden-McConnell deal in the early hours of Tuesday morning and sent the bill to the House for final approval.

Maple Park library looks to improve before 50th year Know more

By ERIC SCHELKOPF

eschelkopf@shawmedia.com

For information, call the library at 815-827-3362 or visit www.sites. google.com/site/mapleparklibrary.

MAPLE PARK – As the Maple Park Public Library gets ready to celebrate its 50th anniversary in June, the library is working to improve its service.

The library, located in the lower level of the Maple Park Community Center at 302 Willow St., implemented new hours in the fall.

“We are still open the same number of hours – 30 hours a week – but we rearranged them,” Maple Park Library Director Kimberly Martin said.

The library is closed Fridays, but is open earlier Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Hours are from 9

a.m. to noon and 3 to 8 p.m.

Mondays and Wednesdays, 3 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays.

Before the change, the library didn’t open until 10 a.m. Saturdays and 9:30 a.m. Mondays and Wednesdays. Martin said the library changed its hours to better meet the needs of patrons.

“I think people like being able to come in earlier on Saturdays,” Martin said.

The library had been open

from 3 to 5 p.m. Fridays but wasn’t seeing much business, so the decision was made to close the library on those days, she said.

Besides new hours, the library in February will replace the flooring and add shelving in the adult reading room.

“It should be done by the end of March,” Martin said.

The improvements will lead up to Maple Park Library’s 50th anniversary in June. In June 1963, a group of residents interested in establishing a library met to form the Maple Park Library Association, according to the library’s website.

The Maple Park Public Library District was established in 1998.

8LOCAL BRIEFS

Thrown can at police car leads to man’s arrest

Police said Villa resisted them when they tracked him down, but was arrested after a “very brief skirmish,” according to a press release.

Underage drinking and resisting a police officer are both misdemeanors. Villa was released with a court date.

SANDWICH – A 20-year-old Sandwich man was arrested Saturday morning on suspicion of underage drinking and resisting a police officer after police said he threw a pop can at a squad car.

Jesus O. Villa, of the 300 block of Wentworth Street, bought a can of pop from the lobby of the Sandwich Police Department, and then allegedly threw the can at a police car parked outside. The police car was not damaged.

Route 38 crash injures 1

DeKALB – A DeKalb man was injured after rolling his vehicle on Route 38 early Tuesday morning.

The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office said Georgious Skouras,

28, was driving westbound on Route 38 west of Hahn Drive when he nodded off. When he woke up, he was driving on the shoulder of the road. Skouras overcorrected and his Infinity G20 went into the south ditch, where it rolled over.

Skouras was taken to Kishwaukee Community Hospital.

A spokeswoman with the hospital said he was no longer at the hospital. A passenger, Alexandros Skouras, 21, was not injured in the crash, police said.

2 file for 3 open D-302 positions

By JONATHAN BILYK jbilyk@shawmedia.com

MAPLE PARK – Pedro Rivas likes his chances of securing a seat on the Kaneland School District 302 board.

As one of two candidates who filed nominating petitions for the April 9 election, Rivas – who has run twice before for the school board – is virtually assured of securing one of the three open seats.

“I’m going to get out there and do what I need to do,” Rivas said.

While some local races will feature an abundance of candidates for open seats on school boards and city councils, the Kaneland school board race almost has been devoid of contention.

When the nominating period ended Dec. 26, only Rivas, of Blackberry Township, and current school board President Cheryl Krauspe of Elburn had filed.

Krauspe’s fellow incumbents, Ken Carter of Maple Park and Elmer Gramley of Kaneville Township, opted not to seek re-election to the board.

Krauspe said she was “disappointed” by the lack of interest from prospective candi-

dates. She said some people had indicated to her they were considering running.

The lack of candidates in 2013 would be a far cry from the 2011 campaign, when seven candidates sought four open seats.

But Krauspe also acknowledged other factors likely were at play.

She said some with whom she spoke worried about whether they would have the time to dedicate to serving on the board.

And others were limited by Illinois state law, which would effectively prohibit anyone from Sugar Grove Township from running for the Kaneland board in 2013.

According to that law, in districts such as Kaneland – where most residents live in cities but most of the district’s geography is rural – the board membership must be divided relatively equally among the townships that the district includes.

In practice, this means no more than three members of the board can come from any one of the seven townships.

And three current members of the board – Teresa Witt, Joe Oberweis and Tony Valente, none of whom are scheduled to need to seek re-election until 2015 – reside in Sugar Grove Township, blocking anyone from that township from seeking election.

Armani is county’s first baby of new year

By DAVID THOMAS

dthomas@shawmedia.com SANDWICH – DeKalb County’s first baby of 2013 was a healthy boy born Tuesday at Valley West Community Hospital in Sandwich.

Armani Desean Smith was born to Laura Nevarez and Antonio Smith, of Plano, at 6:20 a.m.

Armani is 6 pounds, 11 ounces and 19 inches long, said Dana King, event specialist at KishHealth System.

Antonio Smith, 29, said he was very excited about the birth of his son. Armani is the first child for the couple.

“I am a very happy man,” he said.

Nevarez, 22, said she let her boyfriend choose the name of his son. She said he wanted it to start with an A. Antonio Smith said he wanted his son’s name to be memorable.

“I was looking for something that sticks out,” he said. “My name is too boring.”

Nevarez said she hoped for a future filled with “nothing but great stuff and positivity” for Armani.

The first birth at Kishwaukee Community Hospital in DeKalb did not occur until 5:27 p.m., King said. Amir Isaac Pryor was born to Crystal Brumfield and Prince Pryor. Amir Pryor is 6

A friendly competition exists between the staff at the two hospitals – both of which are in the KishHealth System – over which hospital will see the first baby born in the new year.

“It’s fun to see which hospital is going to have the first baby,” King said. “And it’s always fun for the staff to see who’s going to have the first baby.”

DeKalb band takes first in many categories • BAND

Continued from page A1

The band and color guard’s practice schedule has been different since they learned they were playing at the Sugar Bowl. Instead of practicing for basketball games, the Marching Barbs have been practicing outside in the cold weather.

Hunter-Rosene said she was sidelined for 20 days in December while she recovered from gall bladder surgery. She received the OK to participate in full activities on Sunday, the day the band left for New Orleans. All it took was five minutes of practice before she felt like

her old self.

“It’s muscle memory,” Hunter-Rosene said. “Once it’s ingrained in your muscles, you don’t have to worry about forgetting that.”

In addition to being declared the grand champion, the band won best marching, best overall effect, best color guard, best music in their competition’s division, and placed first, said Misty HajiSheikh, one of the trip chaperones.

Haji-Sheikh said her son, Merrick, and the other 92 students had had little rest since they left DeKalb on Sunday.

“On very little sleep, they were able to become the grand champions,” HajiSheikh said.

“It’s muscle memory.

Once it’s ingrained in your muscles, you don’t have to worry about forgetting that.”

“I am beyond excited,” Hunter-Rosene said. “It’s such an honor to come down to the Sugar Bowl and win and come back to the school...

It’s such a great way to finish out the marching band season for my senior year.”

Jeff Marx, an NIU law student, was not entirely confident in a Huskies victory.

“It’s reasonably possible for them to lose,” Marx said just as the Seminoles scored the first touchdown in the game.

“The question is, is it reasonably possible for them to win?”

Excitement for the game had been building for weeks in DeKalb. A number of local businesses posted signs cheering on NIU, while others offered Orange Bowl-related food and drink specials.

The enthusiasm also was building online. On Facebook, NIU students and alumni posted messages showing their support and excitement.

On Twitter, accounts operated by the university would tweet and re-tweet their own and others’ messages of sup-

port.

Regardless of the outcome, fans such as Sweet and Angi Bergstrand said they were proud of the team because of all they had accomplished this season.

“They have nothing to be ashamed of if they lose,” said Bergstrand, an NIU alumna and employee in the university’s Housing and Dining department.

“At the start of the season, who would have thought they would have gotten here?”

Ill. roads, bridges may receive $275M more this year

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois could have $275 million more for road and bridge projects this year if lawmakers approve a Department of Transportation funding plan, according to a summary obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press.

Transportation officials identified $400 million, mostly in extra federal and freed-up state money, to pump into the transit improvement program during the next five years. One lawmaker said the agency is pushing for immediate legislative approval so work can begin once the weather warms up.

The DOT would push $275 million of the infusion into this construction season. That would represent a 15 percent increase over the $1.76 billion the agency previously announced it would spend in the budget year that ends June 30, but still less than a year earlier.

“The unanswered question is where will the money be spent,” Senate Assis-

tant Majority Leader John Sullivan, a Rushville Democrat, said Tuesday. “Assuming this is adequately addressed, I believe there will be bipartisan support.”

A spokeswoman for Senate President John Cullerton said Senate Democrats would decide today whether to include the request in this week’s three-day gathering.

It’s a late addition to what could be a busy agenda as lawmakers wind down their two-year session before a new General Assembly is sworn in Jan. 9.

The Senate will be in three days this week, the House, most of next. But major issues dancing in the heads of legislators and Gov. Pat Quinn include wide-scale reform to shore up the underfunded pension system, legalization of gay marriage and a military-style assault weapons ban.

Driving the optimism is the fact that it’s a “lame-duck” session featuring dozens of lawmakers who can vote without fear of voter backlash because they weren’t re-elected in November or are

The road funding bump would buffer an otherwise disappointing drop in transportation-improvement money from the 2012 budget year. Even with additional concrete, however, overall spending still would represent a 17 percent reduction from the previous construction season.

A transportation department spokesman did not have immediate comment about the plan Tuesday.

According to the summary provided to senators, the bulk of the extra money is $175 million from the federal government from a revised funding formula that was part of the national transportation plan approved last summer and $110 million by restricting “diversions” from the road fund to other state expenses.

Quinn has made Jan. 9 – the official end of the current General Assembly – the deadline for coming up with a solution to the nation’s most underfunded state-employee pension system. The $96 million debt in five retirement programs grows by $17 million daily, he says.

This is your brain on sugar – for real. Scientists have used imaging tests to show for the first time that fructose, a sugar that saturates the American diet, can trigger brain changes that may lead to overeating.

After drinking a fructose beverage, the brain doesn’t register the feeling of being full as it does when simple glucose is consumed, researchers found.

It’s a small study and does not prove that fructose or its relative, high-fructose corn syrup, can cause obesity, but experts say it adds evidence they may play a role.

These sugars often are added to processed foods and beverages, and consumption has risen dramatically since the 1970s along with obesity.

A third of U.S. children and teens and more than twothirds of adults are obese or overweight.

Israeli-Palestinian West Bank clashes erupt

TAMOUN, West Bank – An arrest raid by undercover Israeli soldiers disguised as vegetable vendors ignited rare clashes in the northern West Bank on Tuesday, residents said, leaving at least 10 Pales-

tinians wounded.

Israeli army raids into Palestinian areas to seize activists and militants are fairly common. The raids normally are coordinated with Palestinian security forces, and suspects usually are apprehended without violence.

The clashes began early Tuesday after Israeli forces disguised as merchants in a vegetable truck arrested one man. Regular army forces then entered the town, prompting youths to hurl rocks to try to prevent more arrests.

Israeli forces fired tear gas, rubber bullets and live ammunition as youths set tires and bins on fire to block the passage of military vehicles.

Playboy Hugh Hefner marries ‘runaway bride’

LOS ANGELES – Hugh Hefner’s celebrating the new year as a married man once again.

The 86-year-old Playboy magazine founder exchanged vows with his “runaway bride,” Crystal Harris, at a private Playboy Mansion ceremony New Year’s Eve. Harris, a 26-year-old “Playmate of the Month” in 2009, broke off a previous engagement to Hefner just before they were to be married in 2011.

Lame-duck session usually a scary time

Tea party is down but far from out

Reports of the death of the tea party are greatly exaggerated.

For about two years now, certain observers have been declaring the demise of this insurgent tendency within the Republican Party. However, despite recent headlines, we should expect to hear more from the tricorn-hat crowd, especially if they continue to raise money.

The news of late suggests that establishment Republicans are staging a counterinsurgency. Speaker of the House John Boehner has removed four tea party darlings in the House from prominent committee positions. It’s punishment, pundits say, for their lack of loyalty to GOP establishment positions.

Rep. Tim Huelskamp of Kansas, who will lose his place on the House Budget Committee, issued this statement: “The GOP leadership might think they have silenced conservatives, but removing me and others from key committees only confirms our conservative convictions.

This is clearly a vindictive move and a sure sign that the GOP establishment cannot handle disagreement.”

The year is not ending very nicely for the tea party. Many of the candidates it backed lost on Election Day, including Richard Mourdock, who was vying for a U.S. Senate seat from Indiana. Mourdock did not endear himself to the GOP old guard when he defeated six-term incumbent Sen. Richard Lugar in the primary.

Lugar would have been a shoo-in to retain his seat in the general election had Mourdock not knocked him out.

ViEWS Mary Sanchez Then there was the embarrassing fit Karl Rove threw on the set of Fox News’ election night coverage, when he insisted that the network’s analysts had called the election prematurely for Barack Obama.

Rove has been noticeably scarce on Fox ever since.

More recently, Dick Armey removed himself from FreedomWorks, the group he helped found, in a dispute that Politico reports was about a lieutenant’s use of funds.

Now comes news that Sen. Jim DeMint, one of the most solid conservatives in that chamber, is stepping down.

This looks like disarray, but it is not the “End of the Tea Party Movement,” as a CNN.com headline put it.

So far, there is no sign of a shifting of the tectonic plates of the conservatism on which the tea party movement was built.

Nor are there any indications that more moderate views will soon be prevailing in the GOP. DeMint may be leaving the Senate, but he’s stepping into the role of president of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank that has done much to bend public policy in favor of its wealthy funders. And despite the humiliating owngoals scored by Mourdock and Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin, there’s one thing the tea party has that establishment

Republicans and their Democratic foes envy: a movement.

Remember it was tea party activism that revived the Republican Party after the defeat of 2008 – the last time it got a drubbing.

The tea party is not one organization; it’s a gathering of ideological affinity groups around the nation, loosely affiliated. We should expect the movement to shift and morph as conditions and issues dictate. It is highly likely the groups will realign where they initially had more success: local and primary elections.

As long as tea party activists articulate a message that resonates with the grass roots of the right, they can expect to have money. Potentially lots of it. Casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, who spent more than $100 million on conservative candidates and the PACS that supported them in the 2012 elections, recently told the Wall Street Journal that not only will he not back down from funding the interests of conservative candidates but he also is willing to continue his pattern of doubling his donations each general election.

Adelson has begun suggesting a shift back toward the message of fiscal responsibility and smaller government, while leaving social issues alone.

Will the tea party play along? Time will tell. But make no mistake: This movement still has a pulse.

Armed guards can do more harm than good

By AARon KUpchiK

Special to the Washington Post

Politicians, political commentators and many others greeted with derision the National Rifle Association’s proposal that armed security guards be posted in all U.S. schools.

Yet this negative reaction runs contrary to bipartisan school policy choices over the past two decades. Since the mid-1990s, schools across the United States have hired security guards, many of whom are armed, and stationed police officers in their buildings full time. The New York City public school system alone has a dedicated police force, the NYPD School Safety Division.

This costly, nationwide expansion of police and security is financed by school districts, local police forces, states and even, in part, the federal government, which has provided funds for police-school partnerships since the Clinton administration. The expansion of police into schools over the past 20 years is very popular; there is no political resistance or even a critical dialogue about it in either major party.

But the evidence shows that the expansion of police into schools is a flawed policy that can have harmful effects on students.

During many research visits, I have spoken at length with police officers stationed

at schools full time. I have found almost all of these officers, usually called school resource officers, to be caring individuals.

They are willing to let their professional reputations suffer – being a “kiddie cop” is often looked down upon by other officers – in an attempt to help local youths. Many of them mentor students and seek to be positive role models.

But their presence has effects that help transform the school from an environment of academia to a site of criminal law enforcement. Issues that might otherwise be seen as mental health or social problems can become policing matters once an officer is stationed in a school. Arrests for minor infractions, such as fistfights in which there are no injuries, go up. As the 2011 books “Punished” and “Police in the Hallways” have found – among other research – officers can start to see youths as thugs and criminals and begin treating them with hostility and sometimes even abusively. This comes at the expense of students’ rights and their education.

A greater police presence in schools can also increase student offending rates.

Research has repeatedly shown that schools can prevent student misbehavior by establishing positive social climates. Students do better when they feel respected and listened to, like a valued part of the school, and

when they view school regulations and actions, including security, as fair. Introducing more police into schools can undo these efforts, making what had been an encouraging learning environment into a place where students are subjects of school rules.

The NRA proposal is a bad idea not only because it means more policing but also because it would mean policing by the wrong people. While the presence of police officers in schools can have harmful effects, schools with security guards – particularly armed security guards – fare even worse.

A 2011 study published in the Journal of Police Crisis Negotiations found that schools with security guards and guards who bear firearms have higher rates of serious violent crime than do similar schools that lack such personnel. Consider also that Columbine High School had armed security guards on staff, and Virginia Tech had a police force, and neither prevented the shootings that occurred there.

We should reconsider our school security policies, drawing on the available evidence of what works and what doesn’t.

Today begins that grand ol’ Illinois tradition where lawmakers, historically, have found ways to screw over the state’s inhabitants.

Yes, it’s the first day of the January lame-duck session.

Don’t let that “lame-duck” descriptor – given because outgoing lawmakers often favor items they wouldn’t if they were facing another election – fool you into thinking the Legislature can’t inflict some damage during the waning days of the 97th General Assembly.

Remember the 2011 lame-duck session? Lawmakers approved the “temporary” 67 percent income-tax increase that is likely to become permanent.

Lame-duck sessions also are a time lawmakers are known for voting on controversial issues. In that same For the record 2011 lame-duck session, legislators abolished capital Don’t let that “lamepunishment and approved duck” descriptor – given civil unions. because outgoing lawmakThis year promises more ers often favor items they of the same as lawmakers wouldn’t if they were appear to be cramming in a facing another election – number of weighty issues. fool you into thinking the Driver’s licenses for illegal Legislature can’t inflict immigrants, gambling expansion, pension reform some damage during the and gay marriage all have waning days of the 97th been mentioned as possible General Assembly. items for consideration.

When they’ll have time to address all these items is baffling because legislative leaders have scaled back the number of days they’ll meet during the lame-duck session.

The Senate is scheduled to meet today through Friday, and canceled previously scheduled sessions for Saturday through Tuesday. The House is meeting Sunday through Tuesday, and canceled meetings scheduled for this week.

That signals that perhaps the votes for the weighty issues aren’t there. Or, leaders will ram through legislation and we’ll find out the ramifications down the road.

Quinn said in November he expected pension reform by Jan. 9. That’s the day a new General Assembly is sworn in, which means any legislation that doesn’t become law before that day dies.

Pension reform – an issue that should have been addressed way before the state’s unfunded liability ballooned to $94 billion – should be the only focus during the lame-duck session.

8 ANOTHER VIEW

Keep steroid users out of the Hall of Fame Jan. 9 will be quite a day in the history of professional baseball.

On that day, the results of the Baseball Writers Association of America election for the National Baseball Hall of Fame Class of 2013 will be announced.

It’s on that day that baseball fans will learn the initial judgment on three players who have come to symbolize what’s become known as the Steroid Era: Outfielders Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa and starting pitcher Roger Clemens.

This is their first year of eligibility for induction, as each of them last played in 2007. In Bonds, you have the man who broke Hank Aaron’s career home run record. In Sosa, you have a man who hit 609 home runs and, in 1998, joined Mark McGwire in surpassing the single-season home run record that had stood for 37 years. In Clemens, you have a man who won 354 games and had 4,672 strikeouts.

But the numbers aren’t the whole story.

In 2011, Bonds was found guilty of obstruction of justice in connection with his 2003 testimony before a grand jury investigating Greg Anderson, an athletic trainer charged with supplying anabolic steroids to athletes. Anderson was Bonds’ trainer, and leaked grand jury testimony indicates Bonds admitted to unknowingly using steroids supplied by Anderson.

In 2009, the New York Times reported Sosa was on a list of players who tested positive in 2003 for performance-enhancing drugs. Sosa testified before Congress in 2005 that he “had never taken illegal performance-enhancing drugs.”

In the Mitchell Report, former New York Yankees trainer Brian McNamee stated that during the 1998, 2000 and 2001 baseball seasons, he injected Clemens with Winstrol, an anabolic steroid. After Clemens was found to have given inconsistent testimony to Congress on the matter in 2008, he was indicted on charges he lied to Congress. He was found not guilty of those charges in June of this year.

Rule 5 on the BBWAA Hall of Fame ballot states that “voting shall be based on the player’s record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played.”

We find Bonds, Sosa and Clemens short on integrity, sportsmanship and character. We’re hoping the BBWAA agrees.

Live from Miami with the Huskie Wire Twitter feed: 7:53 p.m:

And the Huskies’ first play is the QB draw. Why am I not surprised? 5 yards for Lynch.

8:13 p.m:

FSU takes a 7-0 lead on a 60-yard TD run from Lonnie Pryor. He had a huge hole to run through.

8:59 p.m:

Great pressure and coverage from FSU here. NIU can’t get anything going. That’s 8 incomplete passes in a row for Lynch.

10:10 p.m:

And we have ourselves a game.

Lynch with an 11-yard TD pass to Martel Moore. FSU 17, #NIU 10.

10:26 p.m:

Lynch should have threw that one away. Big INT by FSU’s Terrance Brooks. Big change in momentum.

10:55 p.m:

Da’Ron Brown fumbles on an end around and it’s recovered by Xavier Rhodes. Looked like Brown was down by contact.

The ruling is confirmed. That my folks, was a terrible, terrible call.

Pryor with a 37-yard TD run for the ‘Noles. This one looks like it’s over.

Lynch, Northern Illinois hemmed in by Florida State

By STEVE NITZ

snitz@shawmedia.com MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – When Jordan Lynch tucked the ball in and ran, he had Florida State defenders everywhere around him.

When he dropped back, he had no time. When he turned the ball over, it was costly.

The Northern Illinois junior quarterback and the Huskies’ offense had trouble getting anything going Tuesday in the Orange Bowl at Sun Life Stadium.

It was certainly one of the main factors that cost NIU in a 31-10 loss to Florida State.

The Huskies (12-2) finished with only 259 yards of total offense. While Lynch couldn’t find anywhere to go or time to find an open receiver, Florida State (12-2) quarterback E.J. Manuel often seemed to have all the time in the world, going 26 of 38 for 291 yards.

Manuel’s protection was huge late in the second quarter, when he dropped back, scrambled and found receiver Rashad Greene in the corner of the end zone with a 6-yard touchdown pass with 11 seconds remaining in the first half. Greene got a foot in bounds, and the play gave the Seminoles a 14-3 lead.

Florida State added three

Pryor ran for 134 yards on only five carries, and was named the game’s outstanding player.

“I always wanted to win MVP of a bowl game, and I told myself every time I get the ball just try to make a big play and just do something,” Pryor said.

“I was blessed today. I can’t believe it.”

Seminoles too fast a foe for NIU MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Northern Illinois pulled out all the stops.

Successful onside kick: Check.

A fake punt resulting in a first down and 35 yards: Yep. A late fourth-down conversion to continue a drive? Got it.

Yet it still wasn’t enough.

NIU was overwhelmed by Florida State in all phases in a 31-10 loss Tuesday in the Orange Bowl.

An offense that had scored 30plus points in 12 its past 13 games managed 10 against one of the nation’s top defenses.

Florida State might not technically have “SEC speed,” but the Seminoles (12-2) certainly were faster than any team NIU (12-2) had faced this season.

That was the difference.

Although NIU is the unquestioned top program in the MidAmerican Conference, a gap still remains between them and college football’s bigger programs from BCS conferences. It may be narrowing, but it persists.

It was seen in the season-opening loss against Iowa at Soldier Field

ORANGE BOWL NOTES

Lynch adds to milestone list Moore finishes season with 13 touchdowns

“Games like this always come down to running the football and stopping the run.

And we could not run the football well enough.”

Northern Illinois football coach

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Jordan Lynch has rewritten many Northern Illinois and national records this season, and he finished the Orange Bowl with a couple more milestones to add to his name.

With 176 passing yards Tuesday, Lynch became the first player in FBS history to finish with 3,000 passing yards and 1,500 rushing yards in a single season. He finished with 3,138 passing yards and 1,815 rushing yards, a single-season record for rushing yards by a quarterback.

Lynch’s 23 carries were also an Orange Bowl record for rushing attempts by a quarterback.

Unfortunately for NIU, the junior quarterback’s record streak of 11 consecutive 100-yard rushing games ended as Lynch finished with only 44 rushing yards.

Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch looks to pass Tuesday during the first half of the Huskies’ 31-10 loss to Florida State in the Orange Bowl.

“Games like this always come down to running the football and stopping the run,” NIU coach Rod Carey said. “And we could not run the football well enough.” moore’s milestone: Senior wide receiver Martel Moore’s touchdown reception in the third quarter gave him five consecutive games with a touchdown catch.

With 13 touchdown receptions on the season, Moore finished tied for second in NIU history for most touchdown catches in a single season. third-down woes: Much of NIU’s offensive success this season has been predicated on the team’s ability to convert third downs and keep drives alive.

Coming into the Orange Bowl, the Huskies had converted on better than 48 percent of their third-down attempts. But against Florida State, NIU was just 5-for-18 on third down.

Fourth-down success: Following the aggressive play-calling NIU has exhibited all season under former coach Dave Doeren, Carey continued to take chances on fourth down.

The Huskies went 2-for-4 on fourth-down conversions against Florida State and finished the season 20-for-27 (74 percent) on fourth down.

One of the successful fourthdown calls came in the first quarter when Desroy Maxwell took the direct snap as the up-back and ran 35 yards down the left sideline.

Florida State quarterback EJ Manuel rushes for a 9-yard touchdown during the fourth quarter of the Seminoles’ 31-10 victory over Northern Illinois on Tuesday in the Orange Bowl in Miami.

Northern Illinois Quarter-by-Quarter Report First Quarter

FLORIDA STATE 7, NORTHERN ILLINOIS 3 Key play: With NIU facing 4th-and-3 from its own 32-yard line, the Huskies ran a fake punt, snapping directly to freshman Desroy Maxwell, who ran 35 yards to set up an eventual 25-yard field goal by Mat Sims.

Key stat: NIU was 0-for-4 on third-down conversions to open the game.

Analysis: Northern Illinois got an early turnover when cornerback Rashaan Melvin forced a fumble on Florida State’s opening possession, but the offense couldn’t muster much outside of the timely fake punt. Florida State’s running game gave NIU some trouble defensively as Lonnie Pryor and James Wilder combined for 77 yards on three carries, including Pryor’s 60-yard touchdown run with 5:28 left in the quarter.

third Quarter

FLORIDA STATE 17, NORTHERN ILLINOIS 10 Key play: With NIU down a touchdown and driving in Florida State territory, Lynch forced a pass that was intercepted by Florida State’s Terrence Brooks, giving the Seminoles the ball with 5:52 remaining.

Key stat: NIU attempted and recovered its first onside kick of the season after cutting the Florida State lead to 17-10.

Analysis: NIU’s offense finally made a big play when Lynch found Akeem Daniels down the sideline for 55 yards. The Huskies seized momentum with a touchdown and recovered onside kick, but wasted a big opportunity when Lynch was intercepted in the Seminoles’ red zone.

second Quarter

FLORIDA STATE 14, NORTHERN ILLINOIS 3 Key play: Florida State quarterback EJ Manuel found Rashad Greene for a 6-yard touchdown with six seconds left in the half.

Key stat: Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch had a streak of nine consecutive incompletions and finished the half only 4-for-15 passing for 52 yards.

Analysis: NIU’s offensive struggles continued as the Huskies managed only 25 yards of offense in the second quarter. The Huskies defense came up with a number of key stops, but Florida State took a late 14-3 lead with a 10-play, 82yard touchdown drive at the end of the half.

Fourth Quarter

FLORIDA STATE 31, NORTHERN ILLINOIS 10 Key play: NIU wide receiver Da’Ron Brown fumbled near midfield early in the fourth quarter and the Seminoles recovered. They scored a touchdown two plays later.

Key stat: Florida State’s Pryor gained a career-high 134 rushing yards on five attempts for an average of better than 26 yards an attempt.

Analysis: NIU’s offensive struggles continued and were only compounded by Brown’s fumble at midfield. Any chance of an upset was squelched when Pryor ran for a 37-yard touchdown to put Florida State up by 21 points with 10:33 left to play.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – All season long, Northern Illinois’ offense lit up Mid-American Conference opponents.

The Huskies came into Tuesday’s Orange Bowl against Florida State averaging more than 40 points a game. However, NIU hadn’t yet seen a defense like the Seminoles’ unit, which is littered with speed, size and NFL talent.

NIU quarterback Jordan Lynch had a record-setting year, but Tuesday, he could only do so much.

Florida State got pressure with its big front four. NIU’s quarterback draw play, a staple of their offense all year, was stifled, as Lynch just didn’t have the space to run away from the Seminoles’ quick defense.

Lynch finished with 44 yards rushing on 23 carries, an average of 1.9 yards a carry.

Lynch was just 15 of 41 through the air with 176 yards passing, often scrambling one way or another to avoid the pressure Florida State was able to provide.

His long run of the game, a 22-yarder, came when he scrambled out of the pocket.

After the game, NIU’s junior quarterback, who had just finished up his outstanding season, gave credit to Florida State’s

“It got frustrating at times.

We had a lot of good stuff, we didn’t execute at times,” Lynch said. “… There’s a reason they’re a top-five defense in the nation.

NIU’s offense did have some success in the second half, when Lynch found Martel Moore for a touchdown from 11 yards out.

It was Moore’s fifth consecutive game with a touchdown catch.

The Huskies then attempted an onside kick on the ensuing possession, and converted when it was recovered by Paris Logan.

and again in their 30-23 comeback victory against Kansas. NIU’s offense put up its two lowest point totals of the season – until Tuesday – against teams featuring better athletes.

The Huskies’ pass rush that was so dominant in MAC play couldn’t get pressure on EJ Manuel.

A young offensive line that exceeded expectations during the regular season was often pushed back by an experienced and talented Seminoles defensive line.

In typical Florida State fashion, the Seminoles shot themselves in the foot on several occasions, particularly with bonehead penalties. Still, Florida State managed to put aside any thoughts of an NIU

The fake punt call, on a fourth-and-3 from the Huskies’ 32-yard line, wasn’t Huskies coach Rod Carey’s only bit of trickery.

Seminoles safety Terrence Brooks on the next possession, ending the Huskies’ momentum.

After dominating during the Huskies final two wins of the season, Akeem Daniels had only three carries Tuesday, although he ran for 15 yards.

Moore had four catches for only 29 receiving yards going against the Seminoles’ talented top cornerback, Xavier Rhodes, who told ESPN after the game that he was skipping his senior year to enter the NFL Draft.

In the end, Huskies coach Rod Carey said it was a game of missed opportunities for the Huskies. He also called the Seminoles a well-coached, well-oiled machine.

“We made some plays, too, and we didn’t make enough of them,” Carey said in a terse postgame press conference. “That was the hard part. Games like this always come down to running the football and stopping the run, and we could not run the football well enough, and so we went to throwing it, and yeah, we missed some throws.”

He also had Lynch make a quick kick, and the punt landed at the Florida State 5-yard line.

Then there was the onside kick after Moore’s touchdown, which was recovered

by Paris Logan.

Unfortunately, the stops Carey pulled weren’t enough against the bigger, faster Seminoles.

upset early in the fourth quarter.

There’s no question that NIU’s program is heading in the right direction, on an upward trajectory that has put them in the national discussion as one of the top mid-majors in the country. Recruits becoming familiar with the Northern Illinois name, and their appearance in a BCS bowl will only help.

With NIU’s scheduling philosophy, the Huskies will continue to be tested against those national programs. The first game of the 2013 season – against Iowa at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City – will be yet another chance to get the “Boneyard” victories that NIU has marked in its locker room.

For NIU, that chance can’t come soon enough.

PASADENA, Calif. – Although Stanford didn’t score many style points in the 99th Rose Bowl, the Cardinal could celebrate because they didn’t let Wisconsin score any points at all after halftime.

Stepfan Taylor rushed for 89 yards and an early touchdown, Kevin Hogan passed for 123 yards, and No. 8 Stanford won its first Rose Bowl since 1972, beating the Badgers 20-14 on Tuesday night.

Usua Amanam made the decisive interception near midfield with 2:30 to play as the Pac-12 champion Cardinal (12-2) ended their four-decade drought in the Granddaddy of Them All with arguably the biggest bowl win yet during the long-struggling program’s recent renaissance.

Stanford clamped down on the Big Ten champion Badgers (8-6), who lost the Rose Bowl in heartbreaking fashion for the third consecutive season. Montee Ball rushed for 100 yards and his FBSrecord 83rd touchdown, but Wisconsin managed only 82 yards after halftime.

Bears in good shape with Emery

Almost 15 minutes had passed since the end of Phil Emery’s 53-minute news conference, and the Bears general manager casually was holding court with a few reporters.

Emery was explaining that Bears rookie defensive end Shea McClellin and New England Patriots rookie defensive end Chandler Jones graded out almost identically as pass rushers this season, even though McClellin had 2½ sacks and Jones had six.

Off the top of his head, Emery reeled off something called a disruption rate.

McClellin’s was 3.97. Jones’ was 4.10.

“I mean, the difference is only 0.13,” Emery said with a chuckle as he waited for a reaction.

I smiled and nodded. I had no idea what he was talking about.

I do know that Emery is the right person to hire the Bears’ next head coach.

A rare public appearance by Emery proved that he hasn’t been playing Solitaire in his office for the two-and-a-half months between interviews. He has been traveling the country to scout college players, combing through advanced statistics to evaluate his 53-man roster, and – as of this week – finalizing a list of candidates for the Bears’ next coach.

“To me, I have the best job in the world,” Emery said. “Not the country. In the world.”

Sometimes, general managers can be likeable but bumbling. Emery’s predecessor, Jerry Angelo, was that way during much of his 11-year tenure with the Bears.

Other times, they can be laser

“Phil keeps to himself. You know he has a plan. He’s on the road a lot. He’s doing a lot of scouting. He’s a grinder. That’s kind of what got him this far. Once you’re around him even just a little bit, he exudes confidence.

You know he’s going to make the right decisions.”

VIEWS Tom Musick sharp but grumpy. Ken Williams of the White Sox, anyone?

In a revealing question-andanswer session Tuesday, Emery proved to possess the best combination of traits for Bears fans.

His football knowledge is off the charts, and he is happy to share some of his insights as long as it doesn’t jeopardize the Bears’ coaching search.

But don’t confuse friendliness for softness.

As this week has proved, Emery is willing to make tough decisions in the name of winning a Super Bowl. Most teams would embrace a 10-win season. Emery fired his coach after one.

Players and coaches also should brace for honest assessments from their general manager. Emery offered an unflinching criticism of erratic tight end Kellen Davis – “Kellen had a rough year” – and said he was disappointed with how the Bears’ coaches failed to use Matt Forte more in the receiving game – “I’m going to be frank: Matt was brought back, and I was excited about his signing, because a big part of that is him as a pass receiver.”

Although he is social, Emery prefers to do his work behind the scenes. When he’s not out scouting, he works from a second-floor office at Halas Hall that is off-limits to reporters.

Even his players don’t know much about him or his day-to-day

Fourth-year nickelback D.J. Moore said Emery did not meet with players to explain his decision to fire their popular coach.

“Not that I know of,” Moore said with a shrug. “He might have pulled a couple of superstars off to the side, but he didn’t talk to the team while I was in there.”

Moore was not alone.

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler described his interactions with Emery as if he were talking about a reclusive neighbor who lives at the end of the block.

“Here and there. Limited,” Cutler said. “Phil keeps to himself.

You know he has a plan. He’s on the road a lot. He’s doing a lot of scouting. He’s a grinder.

“That’s kind of what got him

With all the great deals you’ll find on PlanitDeKalbCounty.COM,

why not taste something new?

this far. Once you’re around him even just a little bit, he exudes confidence. You know he’s going to make the right decisions.”

Maybe that’s why Emery likes statistics so much. They remove emotion from the equation when he has to release a player or tell a coach that he is no longer needed.

Ultimately, the only people within the organization to whom Emery must answer are chairman George McCaskey and team president Ted Phillips. They listened when Emery came to them and explained why he wanted to replace Smith after nine seasons, and they told him to go ahead and do what he thought was best for the team.

Likewise, Emery will hire the next head coach. McCaskey and Phillips will participate in inter-

views once two or three finalists are selected, but the choice is Emery’s to make.

“We’re very confident in Phil,” McCaskey said. “He’s done an outstanding job since he’s been there, and Ted and I have complete faith in him, our family has complete faith in him, to make the right choice to get the Bears back to a championship level.”

That’s why Emery eventually had to return to his office after Tuesday’s marathon news conference. He could have talked about one-gap defenses and midfield receiving targets and disruption rates all day. But important work remains.

Bisexual wife of two minds about coming out

Dear Abby: After years of denial I have come to realize that I am bisexual. I’m happily married to a straight man, and we have a great marriage I wouldn’t change for the world. He is my soul mate, and we plan to be together for many years to come. I just happen to be physically attracted to women, too.

Some people say I can’t be bisexual if I’ve never been with a woman; I say they’re wrong. Am I correct?

How do I deal with this in social situations? I’m afraid to put it on my social media profile for fear of a backlash from my family. I’d like my friends to know, but it doesn’t feel proper to just come out and say, “I’m bi.”

I was hoping some of your readers might be able to give

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips me some input. How does one “come out” without overdoing it or coming across the wrong way? Is there a right way? Should I continue keeping it a secret?

I’m not sure what to do with my revelation. I have pondered it for some time now, and felt I could trust you to give me tactful, unbiased advice. – Bi in The Deep South Dear B.I.T.D.S.: Bisexuality is having an attraction to people of both sexes, and yes, it is possible to be bisexual without having acted upon it.

However, being married means you are (happily)

involved in a monogamous relationship. To announce that you are bisexual and/or put it on the Internet would be a mistake, in my opinion, not only because it would shock your family, but also because it might seem like you were advertising that you are “available.” Unless you are promiscuous, you are NOT available. Most married people agree to be committed to their spouses regardless of whether they are straight, gay or bi.

If you choose to confide your diverse sexual orientation to your close friends, that is your business. But if you do, please remember that once two people know something, there’s a strong likelihood of the news spreading faster than the flu.

P.S. If you do decide to divulge, be sure to tell your husband first.

Dear Abby: I work in a jewelry store where the associates get generous discounts. I mentioned the amount of my discount at one family party, and ever since, my brotherin-law has continued to ask to use it for my sister.

Abby, letting others use my discount is strictly forbidden. Although the store may never find out, this goes against my morals.

My sister’s birthday is in six weeks, and today I told him we can split the cost for the item she wants. I offered because I felt pressured. I have now decided that I can’t go against my morals, plus the item is pretty expensive even with my discount.

How do I tell him no? I have told him before that it’s against company policy, but the message isn’t getting through. – Feeling Used in Georgia Dear Feeling Used: Tell your brother-in-law that even with the discount, splitting the cost of the birthday gift is too much for you. Then reiterate firmly that doing this is against company policy and could cost you your job. It’s the truth.

While the conversation may not be pleasant, it’s important to deliver the message now so he can make other arrangements to pay for that expensive piece of jewelry your sister is expecting.

Meds for atrial fibrillation lower stroke risk

Dear Dr. K: I have atrial fibrillation. It doesn’t bother me, but I still have to take medications because the condition apparently increases my risk of stroke. How does it do that?

Dear Reader: Atrial fibrillation is a heart rhythm disorder that causes a rapid and irregular heartbeat.

The atria are the upper two chambers of the heart; they receive blood from the rest of the body. The atria pump blood into the lower two chambers of the heart (the ventricles). Then the ventricles pump blood to the rest of the body. During atrial fibrillation, the atria do not beat normally. Instead, they quiver or “fibrillate.”

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff Normally, electrical impulses from a small part of the atrium cause the atria to beat. The electrical signal then travels down to the ventricles and causes them to beat. The atria pump, filling the ventricles with blood, and then the ventricles pump. It is coordinated so that the heart pumps blood efficiently.

In contrast, during atrial fibrillation, the electrical impulses come from all over the atria. Instead of pumping efficiently, the atria just

quiver. There is an irregular and rapid heartbeat, and no coordination between the atria and the ventricles. That means that the ventricles may pump when they don’t have a lot of blood in them.

Most important, in terms of your question, the atria do not pump all of their blood into the ventricles. They’re very inefficient. As a result, blood pools inside the left atrium. When blood isn’t moving, it tends to form clots.

Those clots can break free and travel out of the heart.

That’s when the trouble begins. As a clot travels in the blood, it moves through progressively narrower blood vessels. Finally, the clot reaches a

blood vessel that’s so narrow it gets stuck. When it’s stuck, none of the blood behind it can get past the obstruction. As a result, some tissue will be deprived of its blood supply.

Some organs are big enough that it doesn’t matter much if the blood supply to a small part of the organ is stopped.

But when the clot gets stuck in an artery to the brain, it can obstruct blood flow and cause a stroke. (I’ve put an illustration of this on my website.)

That’s why you are most likely taking blood-thinning medications. Most people with atrial fibrillation should be. These drugs prevent blood clots, thereby reducing the risk of a stroke and other seri-

ous complications.

Atrial fibrillation is linked to stroke also through atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque in blood vessel walls.

Atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries is one cause of atrial fibrillation, and atherosclerosis of the arteries of the brain can cause strokes.

The saddest thing for me to witness as a doctor is a patient who has chosen not to take the medicine he or she has been prescribed and pays a price. Unfortunately, I’ve had several patients who had strokes – unnecessarily. It breaks my heart.

Boy athletes are simply bigger, stronger, faster Dr. Wallace: I’ve been reading your column for quite some time, I usually agree with you, but your opinion that girls should not participate on boys’ athletic teams – even if the girl has better athletic skills – is outdated and very sexist.

I’m sure a lot of girls wanted to play football on the boys’ team because girls don’t have tackle football teams to play on.

I hope you have changed your mind by now and agree that the best athletes should represent their schools, regardless of their sex. If you agree, your influence would go far to correct this injustice. – Donerella, Gary, Ind.

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace Donerella: I will change my mind when I become convinced I was wrong, but that hasn’t happened yet on this particular issue. I’m still “old school” on this matter.

I remain of the opinion that girls should not play on boys’ athletic teams, even if the girl is a superior athlete, nor should boys be permitted to play on girls’ teams.

If the best athletes, regardless of sex, were allowed to participate on all school athletic teams, the number

TODAY – There are indications that the year ahead could turn out to be an adventurous one. There are even some strong suggestions that you might visit distant places that you’ve always longed to see. cAPRIcORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – The possibilities for personal accumulation are trending in your favor. You won’t have to do anything unusual – you should be able to reap rewards through traditional channels.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You should be rather fortunate, even in situations that involve elements of chance. This is especially true when engaged in a matter of pride, not necessarily profit.

PIScES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Hanging out with some of your favorite friends could prove to be especially gratifying. If their plans don’t include coming to you, then you should go to them.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Since you haven’t been in touch with an old chum for a very long time, take a moment to get connect. There could be some wonderful news awaiting you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Tunnel vision can be a wonderful asset when used properly. It’ll pay to focus your energies on a current situation that has much profitable potential.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – It’s quite possible that you could be exposed to an important, inspirational message. Should this occur, pay special attention to it, because it could have a profound, wonderful effect. cANcER (June 21-July 22) – The possibility for further material acquisition is still active, even if you weren’t expecting anything in that realm. It’ll be Dame Fortune’s surprise.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Both family and friends will be receptive and pleased with your cooperative spirit. It will encourage them to do things for you that they wouldn’t be inclined to do for others. vIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t put off urgent tasks or chores, even if you crave a day off. Procrastination will only hurt you at this juncture.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You’re not the type of person who throws his or her weight around just to get what you want, yet if you require help from others today, you might have to do so.

ScORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Time is your ally, with victory being gained through perseverance. Even if you have to work long into the day to accomplish your aims, you won’t mind a bit.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – If you find yourself to be somewaht fidgety, engaging in a fun, short excursion could satisfy your restlessness. Getting out in the open air for a while should help.

of girls participating would drop dramatically. When it comes to team sports, boys dominate because they are, for the most part, bigger, stronger and faster. This would give them a great advantage when participating against girls.

As a former varsity head basketball coach, I love to watch high school students participate in athletics. I especially enjoy watching girls’ basketball teams participate, and I am impressed by the ability of the players.

Their skills have improved dramatically.

If the high school girls’ basketball had a game scheduled against the boys’ basket-

ball team, I might not be able to predict the winner.

Dr. Wallace: I know that you encourage families to have pets. My parents aren’t sure they will allow me to have one. I know that pets are faithful creatures that accept you as you are. What are some other positives about pet ownership? I really want a dog. I hope you can help me. I’ve already convinced my parents that I will take care of a dog if I get one. – Jerry, Ft. Walton Beach, Fla. Jerry: A family receives numerous benefits from owning a pet, but if you need a little scientific help, inform your parents that the University of Mississippi in

Oxford conducted a study in that city comparing pet owners to those without pets.

Here’s what the researchers concluded: Pet owners were warmer, more outgoing, less fearful, more curious and clearly demonstrated greater compassion and kindness. An added bonus was that pet owners tended to live longer than those who did not have pets.

When your parents answer yes about getting a pooch, be sure to look for a furry friend at your local animal shelter.

Keep hunting for those tricks Ricky Gervais, an English media star who is perhaps best-known as the deviser of “The Office” and “Extras” with Stephen Merchant, said, “People confuse the subject of the joke with the target of the joke, and they’re very rarely the same.”

Having thought about that for a while, I deemed it to be correct, not a joke.

In this tough example deal, West was defending against three spades. He led the heart ace and continued with the heart king, East playing highlow to indicate a doubleton.

What did West do next?

North’s second-round pass indicated a minimum opening bid (and, if your partnership uses support doubles, denied three spades). Then, when South jump-rebid three spades, inviting game with at least a six-card suit, North was tempted to raise. But those three low hearts rang a warning bell.

West wondered from where five winners would come. He could see three in hearts and one in spades, but where was the fifth?

There were 28 high-card points between his hand and the dummy. South had indicated 10 or 11 with his gameinvitational rebid. So East could not have much. And since East was marked with at most one trump, there was no point in West’s shifting to his singleton club, hoping to win the next trick with his spade ace, give his partner a heart ruff, and receive a club ruff in return.

Instead, West cashed his third heart trick (East carefully discarding the club two) and continued with the heart seven. When East ruffed with the spade eight, it effected an uppercut, promoting a second trump trick for West.
