If Illinois is going to become a smart state, the entire state must be a part of any technological innovation. Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology Director Hardick Bhatt said tech companies and the state are already looking at the ‘internet of things’ in Chicago, including things like smart meters for street lights and new ways to computer map traffic flow. Bhatt says downstate Illinois also has to be a part of the smart state. “A smart state is not pockets of smartness in Chicago,” Bhatt said. “But the entire state has an opportunity to apply technology to become smarter and more efficient.” Bhatt says projects in downstate cities would simply be a little smaller than in Chicago. “They too provide similar services. (Downstate communities) have police, education, they have health care. They have to manage their streets, they have to manage their street lights,” Bhatt said. Bhatt said technology can vastly improve the service government delivers. The challenge to overcome with using technology to improve these services downstate, according to Bhatt, is that people, places, and infrastructure are less concentrated than they are in Chicago. However, not even Bhatt has a good guess where local governments or the state will get the dollars needed for the tech upgrades.

One of the new laws for 2017 allows the Secretar y of State’s Office to move toward linking your car’s registration and your birthday. “We all remember our birthdays,” state Rep. Tom Bennett, R-Watseka, said. “We may not remember the other things, but the birthday, we do remember.” Bennett helped push through the new law, which takes effect Jan. 1. “This is an agreement that will allow the secretar y of state to implement the changes during the next re-plating process,” Bennett said. Bennett said this means the change will be implemented gradually. Illinois’ Secretar y of State’s Office angered a lot of people earlier this year by canceling the registration-renewal notices. Bennett hopes the new law could eliminate the need for reminders altogether.

Statehouse Blues
Springfield readies for lame duck session By Heather Weiner
amendment that would partially close this loophole and require the supermajority needed during the rest of the post-regular session year for tax increases. While comforting, these measures are no guarantee, and they certainly don’t protect against other controversial non-tax legislation potentially popping up. Once the 100th General Assembly assumes office on Jan. 11, 2017, the dynamic in Springfield changes – Michael Madigan loses his supermajority in the House and becomes less impervious to the governor’s veto. This also means that common threats from Madigan’s caucus like constitutional amendments to institute a progressive income tax will likely recede into the background. But Madigan will still control a strong majority, which will continue to stretch out the battle raging between him and Gov. Bruce Rauner. As both parties dig in their heels on many issues related to the budget, some bipartisan reforms are ripe for passage. Issues like transparency, local government consolidation, criminal justice reform, property tax relief and regulatory reform will present opportunities for change in the midst of broader stalemates.

On Jan. 11, 2017, Illinois’ new state politicians will be inaugurated. But before then, lawmakers in the Illinois General Assembly, including members voted out of office in November 2016, will meet for two more days, known as “lame duck” session, a dangerous period that often sees controversial legislation sneak through the legislature. Lame duck session allows legislators who have already been voted out of office to vote on bills that they will not be accountable for through the electoral process. Additionally, after Jan. 1, 2017, the House needs 60 votes instead of 71 to pass legislation, so those unaccountable representatives make up a larger portion of the voting block. In the past, this has allowed for bills like the 2011 income tax increase to pass the legislature with lower standards and many—20 percent, in fact—of representatives voting on their way out the door for a tax hike they may not have voted for if they had another election to face in the future. Fortunately, 87 legislators in the House of Representatives signed a resolution that declared opposition to income tax hikes during lame duck, and 84 voted for a constitutional
County Government
Board approves $5.5 million for new radios By John Guevara Contributor
After six weeks of multiple committee meetings, lengthy debate and an impromptu caucus, the Winnebago County Board approved a contract with Motorola for radios and the use of the Starcom21 system. The county will spend $5.5 million for the 405 radios, including equipment and maintenance. Republicans were strangely silent for much of the debate. Angie Goral, D-13, asked why the county didn’t go out for bid on the cost of the radios, while Minority Leader Joe Hoffman, D-10, queried as to why the county’s Director of Purchasing, Roman Gray, wasn’t involved in the negotiations.
Gray said he deferred to the county’s contracted IT Director Gus Gettner because of the technical aspects of the contract. Gettner said he had discussions with government bodies that had purchased radios from companies other than Motorola at a discount only to pay more for maintenance and software upgrades over time. Dan Fellars, D-19, voiced strong opinions against being forced to vote Thursday night. The county board newcome lamented a “concrete understanding of exactly what we need and exactly how it’s going to be used,” asking, “Why are we being held to a deadline?” Motorola offered the county interest rate incentives to make the purchase in 2016. Steve Schultz, R-3, questioned the administration’s choosing to wait until the final two
months of the year. But Gettner replied that the county had begun discussions with Motorola in January of 2016. Fellars raised concerns about implementation and utilization of the radios. “If we can’t answer a strategic question in how we’re going to implement [a] $5.5 million [purchase], we’re not doing due diligence.” Hoffman called for a caucus, after which Democrats suggested that a utilization report be made to the board on a regular basis. Republican Chairman Frank Haney deferred a vote on the issue while committing his administration to deliver such a report. The county will reportedly receive 30 months of free airtime on the system. Earlier in the evening the County Board
approved the appointment of Carla Paschal as the new CFO and Amanda Hamaker as County Administrator. Republican Ted Biondo sang Paschal’s praises and also said he was impressed with Ms. Hamaker’s “long list of qualifications and ideas” and urged unanimous approval of the two appointments. No board member asked any questions or offered clarification about the qualifications of either position. The appointment process for the open posts began in the second week of December. Majority Leader David Boomer, R-4, had no comment as to why there was less discussion about due diligence when voting on the people responsible for the $200 million annual budget than there was on the $5.5 million radio purchase.

Donald’s Magic Cabinet
Trump’s Treasury pick excelled at kicking elderly people out of their homes By Paul Kiel & Jesse Eisinger ProPublica
I
n 2015, OneWest Bank moved to foreclose on John Yang, an 80-year-old Korean immigrant living in Orange Park, Florida, a small suburb of Jacksonville. The bank believed he wasn’t living in his home, violating the terms of its loan. It dispatched an agent to give him legal notification of the foreclosure. Where did the bank find him? At the same single-story home the bank had said in court papers he did not occupy. Still OneWest pressed on, forcing Yang, a former Christian missionary, to seek help from legal aid attorneys. This year, during a deposition, an employee of OneWest’s servicing division was asked the obvious question: Why would the bank pursue a foreclosure that seemed so clearly unjustified by the facts? The employee’s response was blunt: “You’re trying to make logic out of an illogical situation.” Yang was lucky. The bank eventually dropped its efforts against him. But others were not so fortunate. In recent years, OneWest has foreclosed on at least 50,000 people, often in circumstances that consumer advocates say run counter to federal rules and, as in Yang’s case, common sense. President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Steven Mnuchin as Treasury Secretary has prompted new scrutiny of OneWest’s foreclosure practices. Mnuchin was the lead investor and chairman of the company during the years it ramped up its foreclosure efforts. Representatives from the company and the Trump transition team did not respond to requests for comment. Records show the attempt to push Mr. Yang out of his home was not an unusual one for OneWest’s Financial Freedom unit, which focused on controversial home loans known as reverse mortgages. Regulators and consumer advocates have long worried that these loans, popular during the height of the housing bubble, exploit elderly homeowners. The loans allow people to benefit from the equity they have built up over many years without selling their houses. The money is paid in a variety of ways, from lump sums to a stream of monthly checks. Borrowers are allowed to stay in their homes for as long as they live. The loans are guaranteed by the U.S. De-
partment of Housing and Urban Development, meaning the agency pays lenders like Freedom Financial the difference between the ultimate sale price of the home and the size of the reverse mortgage. But the fees are often high and the interest charges mount up quickly because the homeowner isn’t paying down any of the principal on the loan. Homeowners remain on the hook for property taxes and insurance and can lose their homes if they miss those payments. A 2012 report to Congress by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said that “vigorous enforcement is necessary to ensure that older homeowners are not defrauded of a lifetime of home equity.” ProPublica found numerous examples where Financial Freedom had foreclosed for legally questionable reasons. The company served several other homeowners at their homes to let them know they were being sued for not occupying their homes. In Florida, a shortfall of only $0.27 led to a foreclosure attempt. In Atlanta, the company sought to foreclose on a widow after her husband’s death, but backed down when a legal aid attorney sued, citing federal law that allowed the surviving spouse to remain in the home. “It appears their business approach is scorched earth, in a way that doesn’t serve communities, homeowners or the taxpayer,” said Alys Cohen, a staff attorney for the National Consumer Law Center in Washington D.C. Since the financial crisis, OneWest, through Financial Freedom, has conducted a disproportionate number of the nation’s reverse mortgage foreclosures. It was responsible for 16,200 foreclosures on government-backed reverse mortgages, or 39 percent of all foreclosures nationwide, from 2009 through late 2014, even though it only serviced about 17 percent of the loans, according to government data analyzed by the California Reinvestment Coalition, an advocacy group for low-income consumers. While some foreclosures were justified, legal aid attorneys say Financial Freedom has refused to work with borrowers in foreclosure to establish payment plans, in contrast with other servicers of reverse mortgages. Experts say the companies are not entirely to blame for the wave of foreclosures. HUD oversees standards on most reverse mortgages. In the years after the housing crash, HUD’s
rules evolved, creating a miasma of confusion for mortgage servicers. Companies say the new federal rules required them to foreclose when borrowers fell far behind on property and insurance costs, rather than work out payment plans. OneWest’s rough treatment of homeowners extended to its behavior toward borrowers with standard mortgages in the aftermath of the housing crash. In 2009, the Obama administration launched a program to encourage mortgage servicers to work out affordable mortgage modifications with borrowers. OneWest, weighed down by several hundred thousand souring mortgages, signed up. It didn’t go well. About three-quarters of homeowners who sought a modification from OneWest through the program were denied, according to the latest figures from the Treasury Department. OneWest was among the worst performing large servicers in the program by that measure. In 2011, activists protested OneWest’s indifference at Mnuchin’s Bel Air mansion in Los Angeles. “We’re in a difficult economic environment and very sympathetic to the problems many homeowners face, but under the government’s program there’s not a solution in every case,” Mnuchin told the Wall Street Journal in that year. Despite the controversy, Mnuchin and the other investors in OneWest made a killing on their purchase. In 2009, Mnuchin’s investment group bought the failed mortgage bank IndyMac, which had been taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation after the financial crisis, changing the name to OneWest. They paid about $1.5 billion, with the FDIC sharing the ongoing mortgage losses. George Soros, a Clinton backer at whose hedge fund Mnuchin had worked, and John Paulson, a hedge fund manager who also supported Trump, invested alongside Mnuchin in IndyMac. In 2015, CIT, a lender to small and medium-sized businesses, bought OneWest
5
for $3.4 billion, more than doubling the Mnuchin group’s initial investment. Mnuchin personally made about $380 million on the sale, according to Bloomberg estimates. He retains around a 1 percent stake in CIT, worth around $100 million, which he may have to divest if confirmed. CIT has found the reverse mortgage business to be a headache. Recently, CIT took a $230 million pretax charge after it discovered that OneWest had mistakenly charged the government for payments that the company should have shouldered itself. An investigation of Financial Freedom’s practices by HUD’s inspector general is ongoing. Yang’s lawyers at Jacksonville Area Legal Aid fought his foreclosure for a year. Though Yang had run a dry cleaning business in Florida and roamed the world as a missionary, working in North Korea, China, and Afghanistan, the bank’s torrent of paperwork had overwhelmed him. Yang didn’t speak English well. OneWest claimed it had sent him forms to verify he was living at his home, but that he never sent them back. Under HUD rules, OneWest was required to verify that each borrower continued to use the property as a principal residence. It is a condition of all the HUD-backed loans in order to help ensure the government subsidy goes to those who need it. But Yang can be forgiven for thinking that OneWest could not have doubted that he was still in his home. During the same period that OneWest was moving to foreclose on Yang for not living in his home, another arm of the bank regularly spoke and corresponded with him at his home about a delinquent insurance payment, according to court documents. A Financial Freedom employee testified in the case that the department that handled delinquent insurance payments and the department that handled occupancy did not communicate with each other in those circumstances.
When Steven Mnuchin ran OneWest, the bank aggressively and in some cases, wrongly, foreclosed on elderly homeowners with reverse mortgages. The bank had a disproportionate share of such foreclosures.

‘T
his will be the most expensive race of our lifetime,” a Republican friend assured me last week about the apparently already begun 2018 gubernatorial campaign. If Democratic billionaire J.B. Pritzker pulls the trigger and decides to run, we can expect that significant campaign spending could begin as early as next month — on both sides. And if last week is any indication, this is gonna be one nasty contest. The Illinois Republican Party began running robocalls on Dec. 13 to elected Democrats, along with their party’s contributors and activists. The calls sought to tie Pritzker to imprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich by using an FBI tape of Blagojevich spit-balling with an aide about getting Pritzker to endow a non-profit organization that the governor could run after leaving office. The Pritzker camp responded to the robocalls with a statement criticizing Gov. Bruce Rauner for not passing a budget for two years and allowing “human services to be gutted.” The statement from Pritzker’s spokesperson also claimed the governor should have better things to do with his time than to “dredge up the crazy rantings of Rod Blagojevich.” That led to a quickie but rather large opposition research dump that sought to tie Pritzker even more closely to Blagojevich. There was no Pritzker response to that one. Behind the scenes, Pritzker allies fumed at the absurdly early attack and warned that Rauner was “poking the bear” and would live to regret it. But Rauner’s people mocked Pritzker for being “thin skinned” and warned that last week’s oppo dump was “a very small appetizer.” The aim here appears to be to either keep Pritzker out of the race or take him out in the Democratic primary before he can present a clear danger in the fall campaign with his estimated $3.4 billion net worth. Rauner has tons of his own money, of course, but he also relies on a couple of super-wealthy friends for additional tens of millions. Pritzker can conceivably fund a race all by himself, although he has recently been meeting with top labor leaders and other party honchos, as well. So, we can probably expect more of this stuff from Rauner’s state party in the coming days as Pritzker makes his final decision on whether to run. Neither side has yet started a proper opposition research book on the

potential Democratic candidate. Last week’s attacks were mainly based on basic Google and Lexis Nexis searches. But if they’re going to try to snuff him out in the Democratic primary, Pritzker’s online comments about liberal Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders could eventually come into focus, I’m told. Sanders ended up doing pretty darned well in Illinois’ Democratic primary, so alienating a huge chunk of likely Democratic primary voters would be a smart play. Pritzker, a loyal Hillary Clinton supporter, referred to the insurgent presidential candidate on Twitter by his initials “BS” and tweeted that Sanders was “outrageously McCarthyite.” Pritzker also retweeted an article about how Sanders “said lack of sex and resenting your mom could cause cancer,” pointed to favorable comments about Sanders by the National Rifle Association, referred to the losing Democratic candidate’s campaign manager as “delusional” and occasionally engaged Sanders’ supporters on the social media platform. And I didn’t even look at the guy’s Facebook account. Some Democrats pointed out last week that the Republicans’ Blagojevich-based
attacks failed miserably in the just-completed U.S. Senate race against Tammy Duckworth. But the Rauner folks say the issue kept Sen. Mark Kirk in the hunt during the summer, before he was overwhelmed with Duckworth cash in the fall. Indeed, Kirk was polling essentially even with Duckworth throughout the summer. The Republicans also used the Blagojevich issue in several legislative races, including against state Rep. John Bradley, D-Marion, who once had a public fight with Blagojevich after the then-governor referred to him as a “wall flower” and a pawn of Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan. That well-covered spat didn’t matter to the GOP, of course. “For anyone who has a real association with Blago — and I think our argument yesterday is that J.B.’s history was more than fleeting — it is a potent hit,” was how one Rauner guy put it the day after the robocalls were launched. The question now becomes whether Pritzker is prepared to expose his children to this sort of nonstop mudslinging for almost two solid years. We will probably know more after the holidays. But don’t expect any lull in the negativity while we wait.

Energy & Environment
The significane of the Solstice is ignored By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl
President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association
I
n the northern hemisphere December 21 is the shortest day of the year and marks the beginning of winter. For earlier people, the gradual reduction in sunlight marked the beginning of winter and ushered in a period of time when survival was difficult. It was an important time as the months of winter were know as “the famine months.� They understood the importance of the sun in their lives and created structures, stories and ceremonies to alleviate their concerns regarding whether the sun would return and ensure their future survival. Since our work involved international travel we were fortunate to have visited two solar-oriented archeological sites in Europe. Stonehenge in England is aligned on a line of sight with the winter solstice sunset while New Grange in Ireland is on a line of sight with sunrise. Today’s society with its emphasis on holiday parties and gifts obscures the basic concern of human survival. Also obscured are the significance of solar energy and the role it plays in photosynthesis which supports life on earth including the production of oxygen. Another obscured phenomena is the potential of solar energy to produce electricity needed to power modern society. The amount of solar energy reaching the earth is thousands of times greater than all the energy consumed by the global population. Previous efforts to make greater use of solar energy were waylaid by efforts to push nuclear energy and later by plunging oil prices. While the solar transition in the United States could be slowed by a new push for fossil fuels, renewable technologies are well advanced and increasingly cost competitive. David Roberts reports that on a least cost basis (made by dividing the total lifetime costs of building and operating a power plant by its total lifetime output) the cheapest form of electricity is from onshore wind, closely followed by utility-scale thin film solar PV. The cleanest sources of energy are now the cheapest. More renewable energy capacity is being installed in the developing world than in the

developed world as they are not competing with a well established electrical system. In the developed world electrical demand is stagnating or falling slightly while renewable
energy installations are displacing existing power plants. In the United States federal and state policies supporting renewable energy add to the competition utilities face from
natural gas plants. But most of the current economic damage to the existing utility economic model is a result of cheap natural gas. The least cost of electricity calculations do not include the costs of climate change. If a carbon tax were implemented it would give an additional financial advantage to renewable energy sources. If solar costs keep falling as expected as a result of continuous technological improvements and increasingly larger production facilities, solar advocates believe in a few years solar will be the cheapest source of new electricity. Roberts and others believe solar is winning and will leave developed countries with the challenge of dealing with non-competitive fossil fuel and nuclear generators. With module prices as low as 55 cents per watt for small orders and with supportive federal and state policies in place, it is time to invest in solar energy. The winter solstice and the following bleak months remind us again that energy storage is essential and that progress in energy storage remains crucial for a sustainable energy future.

SwedishAmerican hosted five holiday donation drives in November and December to benefit less fortunate families and individuals in the Rockford region. Staff, patients and visitors donated various types of resources during the drives in support of the RPS 205’s Homeless Program, Children’s Home + Aid, Adopt An Angel, the Salvation Army and Maple Elementary School. In November, SwedishAmerican employees collected slightly used hats, gloves, scares, coats and boots for homeless children in the Rockford area to benefit RPS 205’s Homeless Program and other agencies that benefit the homeless. SwedishAmerican helped collect numerous types of outerwear and essentials to protect local homeless children from the elements during the winter months. SwedishAmerican also hosted the Children’s Home + Aid MotherHouse Crisis Nursery Drive during the month of November. Employees donated items such as diapers, wipes, toilet paper, new sippy cups and bottles at containers placed in the SwedishAmerican Hospital lobby, Heart Hospital and Camelot Tower entrances. The Children’s Home + Aid Crisis Nursery provides a safe haven for families faced with a crisis such as homelessness, domestic violence, medical emergencies or unemployment. For the second year in a row, SwedishAmerican participated in the Adopt An Angel program, a drive to support families through the Winnebago/Boone County Foster Care Alliance. One hundred employees participated in the program and purchased presents for children ages one through 18 years of age who are in the foster care system. Employees spent $25 on each child through the program, totaling $2,500 in gifts. Salvation Army bins were placed in the SwedishAmerican Hospital lobby, Heart Hospital lobby, Camelot Tower, Plaza, Belvidere Medical Center and the Regional Cancer Center during the months of November and December. With the help of our generous employees, SwedishAmerican collected a mass amount of canned goods for local Rockford residents in need of food and basic necessities. The Ryan Jury Development Learning

Commentary
On losing George Michael in 2016
By Jessica Goldstein ThinkProgress
G
eorge Michael, the British songwriter-pop-star who, in his four-decadelong career, landed ten number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over 115 million albums worldwide, died of heart failure on Christmas Day at the age of 53. He broke onto the music scene half of a teen-pop sensation, Wham!, with his friend Andrew Ridgeley. Some of those songs are so exuberantly poppy they border on parody now: The Saved by the Bell-style sax of “Careless Whisper” (credited to Wham! featuring George Michael in the U.S.) the toddler-like phrasing of “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go.” And some, like “Last Christmas,” so totally capture an exact aching feeling — in this case, a heightened sense of melancholy surrounded on all sides by oppressive cheer — they seem like songs you’ve never not known. In the grand tradition of boy banders the world over, Michael left his duo and embarked on a sultrier solo career. The first single off 1987’s Faith so scandalized American Top 40 host Casey Kasem that he refused to say the name of the song — “I Want Your Sex” — on the air. (It was among the first songs with the word “sex” in the title to climb to the top of the charts, after Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing” in 1982.) MTV, then in its infancy, had no qualms about giving the
racy — though pro-monogamy — video plenty of airtime, though Michael filmed a safe sex PSA which MTV required to be played before the video. Where he was direct in his songwriting — about crushes, lust, love, sex, and everything in between — he was evasive in his public life, until a 1998 arrest for “engaging in a lewd act” in a public restroom in Beverly Hills forced his hand. He came out as gay in an interview on CNN. “I feel stupid and reckless and weak for letting my sexuality be exposed that way,” he said. “But I do not feel shame [about my sexuality], neither do I think I should.” George Michael said hiding his sexuality made him feel “fraudulent,” but he kept the secret for a near-unimpeachable reason: To protect his mother. As he later told the BBC, he would never judge an individual for electing to not come out, “because it’s about family. In the years when HIV was a killer, any parent of an openly gay person was terrified. I knew my mother well enough that she would spend everyday praying that I didn’t come across that virus. She’d have worried like that.” While speaking with CNN, he said that he had previously been in a relationship with a woman, and that he believed he was always honest in his songwriting: “I want people to know that the songs I wrote back then about women are about wom-
en — there was no bullshit there — while the songs I’ve written recently have been fairly obviously about men.” In 2014, during an interview with the BBC, Michael reflected that coming out made his life more challenging. “For some strange reason, my gay life didn’t get easier when I came out. Quite the opposite happened, really.” But long before he came out and throughout the rest of his career, Michael was a vocal supporter of LGBT rights and AIDS awareness and prevention. He supported a number of charities, including Terrence Higgins Trust, a U.K.-based organization that supports people with HIV and AIDS, Macmillan Cancer Support, and Childline, a confidential phone counseling service for young people. And eventually, he was plenty brazen in interviews about his sexuality and his total disinterest in catering to any squeamish straight people who couldn’t, or wouldn’t, accept him. As he told the Guardian in 2005, “Gay people in the media are doing what makes straight people comfortable, and automatically my response to that is to say, ‘I’m a dirty filthy fucker and if you can’t deal with it, you can’t deal with it.’” Though it is still technically possible the final five days of the year will be a corrective to the 360 that came before it, it seems all but decided that 2016 will enter the history books as a banner year for rigid, toxic masculinity. Not to suggest the universe is invested in what
happens to us — all available evidence would indicate indifference, at best — but, as has been noted on across social media, it feels like a bit of cosmic cruelty to lose George Michael in the same year we lost Prince and David Bowie (complicated legacy and all), men who decided for themselves what “being a man” ought to entail; who took social norms as little more than a light suggestion; who did not see traditionally feminine attire, physicality, or vocal stylings as weak or less-than. A 1990 New York Times review of Michael’s then-hit single, “Praying for Time” describes how Michael “emits an extended yelp of despair: ‘It’s hard to love when there’s so much hate / Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of.” It was the lead single off his album, Listen Without Prejudice, Vol. 1, his first in three years. As for another track, “Praying for Time,” Michael said that the song wasn’t inspired by any specific event, but “life in general”: “It’s my way of trying to figure out why it’s so hard for people to be good to each other. I believe the problem is conditional as opposed to being something inherent in mankind. The media has affected everybody’s consciousness much more than most people will admit. Because of the media, the way the world is perceived is as a place where resources and time are running out. We’re taught that you have to grab what you can before it’s gone. It’s almost as if there isn’t time for compassion.”
Violent communication won By Nancy Churchill Contributor
S
ince the election, many on the left have been calling out Democrats for their “loss.” Spoiler alert: Hillary Clinton won the vote by 2.9 million — that’s a win. Donald Trump will be president not because Hillary lost the vote, but because we didn’t realize we were not electing a president, just Electors to represent us in the Electoral College. And Elector representation is skewed toward the states with the fewest voters, by a margin of over 300 to 1. So Democrats shouldn’t succumb to self-flagellation. Though far from perfect, they were not at fault here, but rather the victims in what Marshall Rosenberg explains as violent interaction in his book Nonviolent Communication. Hitler was the most famous practitioner of violent
communication, giving rise to “Godwin’s Law,” which states that every discussion about strong-man power sooner or later reverts to a comparison to Hitler. But the victimizing language of violence exists at every level of human interaction, including potentially every kitchen in America. I used to work for the Illinois Violence Prevention Authority. Yes, to its credit, Illinois was once trying to prevent violence at every level: child abuse, including sexual abuse, teen dating violence, spousal abuse, and elder abuse, including elder financial abuse. My focus was on schoolyard bullying. I doubt if this invaluable agency survived our Governor’s draconian budget cuts, a form of violence itself, in my opinion. Rosenberg’s mission was to expose violent interaction as being rooted in language. Violent communication is the language of bullies
who verbally or physically beat up their victims, then blame them for their plight. Bullies thrive by building a support base of sycophants who extoll their “greatness,” automatically evoking the Hitler comparison. Hitler’s propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, knew and identified the principles of successful propaganda: control the dialog and the narrative [psywarrior.com/Goebbels. html]. Paraphrasing number 14 on his list, “Propaganda must label events and people with distinctive phrases or slogans [i.e., “lock her up”]: they must evoke desired responses which the audience previously possesses [“Muslims can’t be trusted”]; they must be capable of being easily learned; they must be utilized again and again...; they must be boomerang-proof.” Benjamin Franklin said, “So convenient a thing it is to be a reasonable creature,
since it enables one to find or make a reason for everything one has a mind to do.” This election proves a common bully can win the presidency if he has a mind and the power to label people with “distinctive phrases,” i.e., violent communication, that too many reasonable people are taken in by. (Number 7: “Credibility alone must determine whether propaganda output should be true or false.”) He proved more than capable of controlling the media to demonize his opponents with lies, by de-legitimizing those media who didn’t succumb as having a liberal bias (Number 6: “To be perceived, propaganda must evoke the interest of an audience and must be transmitted through an attention-getting communications medium”). Democracy, not Democrats, was this election’s loser. We are an oligarchy now. Or worse.

Actress, author Fisher dead at 60 By Steve Gorman Reuters
Carrie Fisher, who rose to fame as Princess Leia in the Star Wars films and later endured drug addiction before going on to tell her story as a best-selling author, died on Tuesday aged 60, her family said. Fisher, a mental health advocate who spoke about her own struggles with bipolar disorder and cocaine addiction, had suffered a heart attack on Friday as she flew into Los Angeles. The daughter of actor Debbie Reynolds and the late singer Eddie Fisher had been returning from England where she was shooting the third season of the British sitcom Catastrophe. “Thank you to everyone who has embraced the gifts and talents of my beloved and amazing daughter,” Reynolds said on Facebook. “I am grateful for your thoughts and prayers that are now guiding her to her next stop.” Fisher’s friend and former Star Wars’ costar Mark Hamill, who played Leia’s brother Luke Skywalker, said in a tweet: “No words. #Devastated” Fisher was met by paramedics and rushed to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center after suffering the heart attack during the flight on Friday. She made headlines last month when she disclosed that she had a three-month love affair with her Star Wars co-star Harrison Ford 40 years ago. Fisher revealed the secret to People magazine while promoting her new memoir, The Princess Diarist, just before it went on sale. The book is based on Fisher’s diaries from her time working on the first “Star Wars” movie. Harrison said in a statement Fisher was funny, emotionally fearless and one-of-a-kind. “She lived her life, bravely...We will all miss her.” Fisher said the affair started and ended in 1976 during production on the blockbuster sci-fi adventure in which she first appeared as the intrepid Princess Leia. Ford played the maverick space pilot Han Solo. “It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend,” Fisher told People. She was 19 and Ford was 33 at the time. “How could you ask such a shining specimen of a man to be satisfied with the likes of me? I was so inexperienced, but I trusted something about him. He was kind,” she wrote of Ford in the memoir, the latest of several books Fisher authored. Fisher reprised the role in two Star Wars sequels. She gained sex symbol status in 1983’s Return of the Jedi when her Leia character wore a metallic gold bikini while enslaved by the diabolical Jabba the Hutt. She returned last year in Disney’s reboot of
the Star Wars franchise, The Force Awakens, appearing as the more matronly General Leia Organa, leader of the Resistance movement fighting the evil First Order. Filming was completed in July on Fisher’s next appearance as Leia in Star Wars: Episode VIII, which is set to reach theaters in December 2017. Fisher’s Princess Leia makes a surprise appearance at the end of Rogue One, the latest blockbuster, which opened this month, in the Star Wars series. Shortly after news of her death was made public, her dog Gary, who has his own Twitter account, said goodbye: “Saddest tweets to tweet. Mommy is gone. I love you @carrieffisher.” She is survived by her mother, Reynolds, her daughter, Billie Lourd, and her brother Todd Fisher.
Early showbiz start
Fisher also played a memorable supporting role in the 1989 hit film When Harry Met Sally... as a friend of Meg Ryan’s character who falls for and marries the best pal of Billy Crystal’s character. More recently, Fisher played the American mother-in-law on Catastrophe. Born in Beverly Hills, Carrie Fisher got her showbiz start at age 12 in her mother’s Las Vegas nightclub act. She made her film debut as a teenager in the 1975 comedy Shampoo, two years before her Star Wars breakthrough. But her life was also at times mired in drug abuse, mental illness and tumultuous romances with other entertainment figures, all of which she laid bare in her books, interviews and a one-woman stage show titled Wishful Drinking. She was once engaged to comic actor Dan
Aykroyd, later married, then divorced, singer-songwriter Paul Simon, and had a daughter out of wedlock with Hollywood talent agent Brian Lourd. After undergoing treatment in the mid1980s for cocaine addition, she wrote the bestselling novel, Postcards from the Edge, about a drug-abusing actress forced to move back in with her mother. She later adapted the
book into a film that starred Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine. She told Reuters in a 2011 interview that tabloid exposure of her private life could be trying. “’Carrie Fisher’s tragic life.’ That was one that hurt,” she said, quoting a headline. “’Hey, how about Carrie Fisher? She used to be so hot. Now she looks like Elton John.’ That hurt.” She also acknowledged being briefly hospitalized in 2013 due to a bout with bipolar disorder. However, Fisher told Rolling Stone magazine in an interview published last month she was happier than she had ever been. “I’ve been through a lot, and I could go through more, but I hope I don’t have to,” she said. “But if I did, I’d be able to do it. I’m not going to enjoy dying but there’s not much prep for that.” Summing up the showbiz legacy she expected to leave behind in her 2011 memoir “Shockaholic,” Fisher wrote in self-deprecating style: “What you’ll have of me after I journey to that great Death Star in the sky is an extremely accomplished daughter, a few books, and a picture of a stern-looking girl wearing some kind of metal bikini lounging on a giant drooling squid, behind a newscaster informing you of the passing of Princess Leia after a long battle with her head.”

Passengers little more than romance in space By Thomas Simpson Contributor
W
hen a script is cast to development hell there’s a good chance that it’s never seeing the light of day. The writer is as well cutting all ties and moving on with his life, there’s plenty of more scripts in the sea. Occasionally though a screenplay will get a reprieve as has been the case for the Jon Spaiht penned Passengers. Penned in 2007, Passengers later had Brian Kirk attached to direct with Keanu Reeves and Emily Blunt cast as the leads. Fast forward to 2016 and Morten Tyldum sat in the director’s chair with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence replacing Reeves and Blunt. It’s been a long journey for Passengers, but has it been worth it? The Starship Avalon is transporting 5,000 colonists on an epic journey to a distant planet so far from Earth that the trip takes 120 years. Due to the time the colonists are suspended in hyper sleep, however a malfunction causes Jim Preston (Chris Pratt) to wake up prematurely. With 90 years to go to his destination, Jim realizes he will die alone unless he makes some difficult choices, most of all the decision to wake up a fellow passenger, in this case
writer Aurora Lane (Jennifer Lawrence). There’s little build up to Passengers, opting to throw Jim into peril from the start and with him, us, into the story. There are few airs and graces to the film and as such there is no great mystery to the proceedings. There are existentialist themes at play but despite the vast playground that is presented, Passengers is a love story about loneliness and longing for human companionship. Pratt and Lawrence have a good chemistry that allows us to invest in their relationship. Tyldum doesn’t explore any depth to their predicament and doesn’t leave room for any questions. Spaiht and he play it straight for the most part and presents a stripped down plot with little surprises or twists despite the setting allowing for something more elaborate. There’s nothing overly clever about Passengers and while the levity of what’s on screen offers easy enjoyment, alternatively there’s little for audiences to sink their teeth into. The third act starts to drag and becomes overly schmaltzy with the conclusion never feeling truly deserved. The first 15 minutes of the film are its strongest as Pratt explores the ship alone with nothing but an android barman named Arthur (Michael Sheen) for company. It’s in these
moments that Pratt’s astro castaway is most interesting, and although the film boasts such a small cast, the addition of more characters makes everyone less interesting. Passengers is an unpretentious sci-fi romance that offers little but delivers on its
lack of promises. There’s no great mystery to unravel which makes for an uneasy watch even if the end result is unfulfilling. Thomas Simpson is a writer and filmmaker based in Glasgow, U.K. Find him on Twitter: @Simmy41.

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo
This Week: Happy New Year everyone. I can’t speak for anyone else but I can honestly say I will be grateful when 2016 is officially over. In 1974 my mother made an odd comment at the breakfast table after my father had been killed in a car accident. She said, “I hate even numbered years.” I asked her why, and she replied with, “they always bring unexpected deaths.” I spent the last 42 years trying to make a liar out of her but found her statement to be true, time after time. We’ve lost so many talented and loving individuals this year including our little dog Buddy. I’m looking forward to a fresh start for myself as well as all of you. The new moon is December 29 in rooted Capricorn. Allow yourself this time to focus on your longterm goals, keep a low profile and avoid fuzzy or delusional ideas. Be mindful of overindulgence and addiction during this time frame, make healthy choices. Aries (March 21 to April 19) — It takes every kind of people, to make the world go round. Keep that in mind this week as you venture into the New Year. Many of you will feel the urge to keep your New Year’s celebration to a minimal extravagance, which will be wise considering the planetary activity. Enjoy the comforts of your home with those that are near and dear to you. Focus on your goals for 2017, Aries. Taurus (April 20 to May 20) — You may feel a bit overwhelmed with legal documents and paperwork now. Take your time and work your way through this slowly and meticulously. In the end this will pay off in your favor. You’re beginning to get back to your old self and as a result of this energy you’re drawing to you invitations to socialize. Accept offers from those tried and true friends to get out and about. You won’t regret it, Taurus. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Your sensitivity towards others is recognized during this rather bumpy Mercury retrograde ride and appreciated. Mercury
is your ruling planet, so it can present some complicated aspects to deal with. However, it can also provide you with a stealth learning curve, allowing you the information you need to get ahead of the game. Keep your ear to the ground at this time; useful information is about to arrive, Gemini. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — There appears to be a tremendous focus on family matters at this time. You may be placed in a position where you need to rise above the normal call of duty in order to help someone else. You seem to know exactly what to say to soothe the shattered nerves of a loved one at this time. Financial aspects begin to improve during this time frame. Make the most of these active energies this week, Cancer. Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Your intuition is working overtime as you notice another attempting to balance in the throws of addiction or emotional distress. This is an ongoing struggle for this individual and your tender words may be just what this person needs to hear now. Trust the universe and let spirit speak through you. A change in vehicle may be on the horizon as well. Don’t grab the first thing you see. Take your time and shop for a practical mode of transportation, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — Travel plans are in the midst and you may even be mixing business with pleasure in the weeks to come. There will certainly be accolades arriving shortly for a job well done. A family member that you have been worried about will begin to take a stronger stance with their physical as well as emotional state. Nothing will please you more, Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Past relationship issues could come to the surface this week. However, it appears to bring some closure or validation for you at this time. You have the clarity to move forward now knowing that this was what the universe intended. Finances are on the upswing and it appears that you do not have to draw blood to obtain it these days. Working smarter not harder is the name of the game. You have finally figured this out, Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Exciting information you receive this week could bring tears of joy. Even though you have kept the faith, fear and doubt may
have occasionally crept in. Your worries are finally over. Try not to look under rocks for new ones now, take a break from it all. Midweek offers a job opportunity or a career change for some of you. Follow up on leads and expect the unexpected at this time, Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Love relationships require some attention at this time. You can no longer overlook a problem that has been a reoccurring issue. This will not go away on its own, confronting this situation head on will give you the best results. It is a make it or break it time frame for love. Shoving your head in the sand is not going to help matters any. However, if you have found your relationship is being negatively affected by alcohol or drugs you may need to leave it behind for good. The substance or the relationship, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Your head may still be spinning from the past holiday’s confusion and miscommunication. Remember, there are two sides to every story. Try not to be so quick to weigh in verbally until you have all of the facts presented to you. Then slowly but surely see what you can do to begin to mend these fences. By week’s end finances are on a better track, Capricorn. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Finally my little Aquarius friends are beginning to see a romantic shift come into view. Nothing but lessons and more lessons have been on the table regarding love the past two years. Now there are options as well as the opportunities to balance your personal life. That annoying burr under your saddle pad will be removed from your realm shortly. The universe is weighing the scales in your favor, Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — You will find yourself favored and backed by an unexpected source at this time. Someone has taken a shine to you and wants you to grow and develop beyond your wildest imagination. You present yourself well and those in the know recognize your tenacity and charisma. The sky is the limit now, be open for the love and respect that is available to you now at this time, Pisces.

Local History
Rockford’s founding years
E
very-other week, The Rock River Times will bring you a glimpse back into the earliest days of Rockford, from its founding in 1834 to the Civil War. Taken from a series of advertisements from the old Rockford National Bank, these short tales and original illustrations paint the narrative of Germanicus Kent and the people who followed in laying the foundations of our city. “The basis for all of these advertisement are authentic historical facts, gleaned from long careful study and research of Government, State, and local records,” says the introduction to this collection of artifacts. “The illustrations by the author are in a major share of instances pen drawings from old print; if no pictures were available they have been created from data supplied by research.” This week, we see the formation of the first financial institution in the city, built on West State Street in 1848.

Farm & Ag
Soybeans may be headed for 90 million acres in 2017 Variety selection for hops
By Grant McCarty
Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension
Now that we’ve discussed some of the challenges in hops production and you are considering growing them, it now is time to think about the varieties available to you. As mentioned previously, all cones from the hop plant look the same so you’ll be choosing varieties based on different criteria. Climate, variety demand, alpha acids, beta acids, and good storage ability are all key characteristics you need to take into account when picking a variety to plant. If you want to sell to home brewers and microbreweries, you want to pick a variety that they want based on their beer recipes. There are some varieties that even if they perform well, are diseases resistance, and overall yield great, are not popular with brewers and you may have to create your own market to sell these. The major criteria you should consider is alpha acids, beta acids, and good storage ability. With alpha acids, there are 3 alpha acids and several minors with the ratio dependent on the
variety. A high alpha acid is one that is between 12-19 percent. Beta acids are those that are completely insoluble in water and give the bitter flavor to the beer. The good storage ability is the percentage of alpha acids after six months of cold (freezer) storage. A variety that has good storage ability may be important if you are drying and packaging hops to sell at a later time. Keep in mind when growing hops that it will be three years for full establishment. This is especially important if you are growing a variety that isn’t common or a variety that seems to be popular right now but could wane in popularity by year three. Recommended varieties from Midwest trials include Centennial, Cascade, Nugget, Brewer’s Gold, Newport, Horizon, Chinook, and many others. Each of these will have different acids and be appropriate for certain beer recipes. You’ll find all of these from most companies that sell hop plants. Next week I’ll further explain planting and setup. Grant McCarty’s tips and tricks for local eating and your at-home garden appear every week in The Rock River Times.

By Karen Braun Reuters
CHICAGO – It is almost certain that U.S. farmers will plant more soybeans in 2017 than ever before, but profitability indicators in the futures market give good reason to believe that this acreage could push much higher than what we have been prepared for. In its annual long-term projections published late last month, the U.S. Department of Agriculture placed next spring’s soybean planted area at 85.5 million acres – 1.8 million more acres than 2016. This year-on-year bump of 2 percent is the largest such increase predicted by the agency at this early stage in nine years. Compared with the final yearly changes in soybean acres, the long-term projections have tended to be more conservative. But from a profitability standpoint, this notable boost in acres may still be too modest. The new-crop soybean-to-corn futures price ratio has spent the last two months at levels not seen at this time of year in at least 20 years. The ratio, which in this case compares the November 2017 soybean contract with December 2017 corn, is a key indicator of the producer’s profit potential (reut.rs/2hzyxWY). Farmers tend to favor planting soybeans when the soybean-to-corn ratio is above 2.5. As of Thursday, it was 2.6, slightly down from its peak of 2.7 on Dec. 1. Typically, the ratio will not reach these values until at least May of the expiration year. Historically, there have been dramatic leaps in soybean acreage in the spring when the soybean-to-corn ratio was elevated in the previous December – to a much larger degree than USDA has suggested for next year. And a look at some of these past scenarios suggests that breaking the 90 million-acre mark in 2017 should be on the table.
Clues from the past
Aside from 2017, there are only three other crop years during which the December disparity between soybean and corn futures was similarly large: 1997, 2006, and 2014. The year-on-year soybean acreage increase in these three seasons – 9 percent in 1997, 5 percent in 2006, and 8 percent in 2014 – makes USDA’s 2 percent rise for this year seem under-
done, especially considering how much higher the 2017 soybean-to-corn ratio has been than the others. It is also interesting to note that in these years, the ratio did not necessarily sustain at or above 2.5 from December through the planting season. USDA did not necessarily catch on early to the drastically higher acreage in these previous years, as the agency’s long-term planted area projections indicated a yearly gain of only 1.5 percent in 2014 and 2 percent in 2006. And initially underestimating soybean acres has not been confined to the years when soybeans were the clear-cut winner over corn from a profit standpoint, as USDA’s long-term projections have fallen short of final planted area in 10 of the last 15 years. Corn should be freeing up some extra acres for soybeans next year, as futures prices for the yellow grain linger near the lowest levels of the Renewable Fuel Standard era. USDA predicts next year’s planted area to fall 4.5 million acres to 90 million. Unlike the same comparison for soybeans, this 5 percent year-on-year decline in corn acres is exactly in line with the actual area decrease in 2014 and 2006, despite the initial projections being too conservative. Planted area in 1997 increased by less than half a percent. It could prove true that USDA has simply set the floor for 2017 at 85.5 million acres of soybeans. But where exactly is the ceiling? Taking the percentage gains from 1997, 2006, and 2014 and applying them to last year’s 83.7 million acres would result in a planted acreage range of 87.9 million to 91.2 million acres. Some analysts are already narrowing in on this range. On Thursday, private analytics firm Informa Economics increased its forecast of 2017 U.S. soybean plantings to 88.86 million acres. Just for fun, if the United States plants 91.2 million acres of soybeans in 2017 and yields can once again reach this year’s estimated 52.5 bushels per acre, the haul would amount to 4.74 billion bushels, topping this year’s record 4.36 billion. And although that reflects the most optimistic view one could have at this time, today’s “just for fun” scenario could turn into reality in a few short months.

Facebook doesn’t tell users what it collects
The site shows users how it categorizes them. It doesn’t reveal the data it is buying about their offline lives. By Julia Angwin, Terry Parris Jr. & Surya Mattu ProPublica
Facebook has long let users see all sorts of things the site knows about them, like whether they enjoy soccer, have recently moved, or like Melania Trump. But the tech giant gives users little indication that it buys far more sensitive data about them, including their income, the types of restaurants they frequent and even how many credit cards are in their wallets. Since September, ProPublica has been encouraging Facebook users to share the categories of interest that the site has assigned to them. Users showed us everything from “Pretending to Text in Awkward Situations” to “Breastfeeding in Public.” In total, we collected more than 52,000 unique attributes that Facebook has used to classify users. Facebook’s site says it gets information about its users “from a few different sources.” What the page doesn’t say is that those sources include detailed dossiers obtained from commercial data brokers about users’ offline lives. Nor does Facebook show users any of the often remarkably detailed information it gets from those brokers. “They are not being honest,” said Jeffrey Chester, executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy. “Facebook is bundling a dozen different data companies to target an individual customer, and an individual should have access to that bundle as well.” When asked this week about the lack of disclosure, Facebook responded that it doesn’t tell users about the third-party data because it’s widely available and was not collected by Facebook. “Our approach to controls for third-party categories is somewhat different than our approach for Facebook-specific categories,” said Steve Satterfield, a Facebook manager of privacy and public policy. “This is because the data providers we work with generally make their categories available across many different ad platforms, not just on Facebook.” Satterfield said users who don’t want that information to be available to Facebook should contact the data brokers directly. He said users can visit a page in Facebook’s help center, which provides links to the opt-outs for six data brokers that sell personal data to Facebook. Limiting commercial data brokers’ distri-
bution of your personal information is no simple matter. For instance, opting out of Oracle’s Datalogix, which provides about 350 types of data to Facebook according to our analysis, requires “sending a written request, along with a copy of government-issued identification” in postal mail to Oracle’s chief privacy officer. Users can ask data brokers to show them the information stored about them. But that can also be complicated. One Facebook broker, Acxiom, requires people to send the last four digits of their social security number to obtain their data. Facebook changes its providers from time to time so members would have to regularly visit the help center page to protect their privacy. One of us actually tried to do what Facebook suggests. While writing a book about privacy in 2013, reporter Julia Angwin tried to opt out from as many data brokers as she could. Of the 92 brokers she identified that accepted opt-outs, 65 of them required her to submit a form of identification such as a driver’s license. In the end, she could not remove her data from the majority of providers. ProPublica’s experiment to gather Facebook’s ad categories from readers was part of our Black Box series, which explores the power of algorithms in our lives. Facebook uses algorithms not only to determine the news and advertisements that it displays to users, but also to categorize its users in tens of thousands of micro-targetable groups. Our crowd-sourced data showed us that Facebook’s categories range from innocuous groupings of people who like southern food to sensitive categories such as “Ethnic Affinity” which categorizes people based on their affinity for African-Americans, Hispanics and other ethnic groups. Advertisers can target ads toward a group — or exclude ads from being shown to a particular group. Last month, after ProPublica bought a Facebook ad in its housing categories that excluded African-Americans, Hispanics and Asian-Americans, the company said it would build an automated system to help it spot ads that illegally discriminate. Facebook has been working with data brokers since 2012 when it signed a deal with Datalogix. This prompted Chester, the privacy advocate at the Center for Digital Democracy, to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission alleging that Facebook had violated a consent decree with the agency on privacy issues. The FTC has
never publicly responded to that complaint and Facebook subsequently signed deals with five other data brokers. To find out exactly what type of data Facebook buys from brokers, we downloaded a list of 29,000 categories that the site provides to ad buyers. Nearly 600 of the categories were described as being provided by third-party data brokers. (Most categories were described as being generated by clicking pages or ads on Facebook.) The categories from commercial data brokers were largely financial, such as “total liquid investible assets $1-$24,999,” “People in households that have an estimated household income of between $100K and $125K, or even
“Individuals that are frequent transactor at lower cost department or dollar stores.” We compared the data broker categories with the crowd-sourced list of what Facebook tells users about themselves. We found none of the data broker information on any of the tens of the thousands of “interests” that Facebook showed users. Our tool also allowed users to react to the categories they were placed in as being “wrong,” “creepy” or “spot on.” The category that received the most votes for “wrong” was “Farmville slots.” The category that got the most votes for “creepy” was “Away from family.” And the category that was rated most “spot on” was “NPR.”

NFL
In spirit of the season, Bears in a giving, patient mood
By Robert Zeglinski Contributor
Apathy and hope. Two inherent opposite concepts, that have played as the tune for the 2016 Chicago Bears. After weeks of putting their best foot forward finishing close games, the Bears finally imploded in a 42-21 loss to the Washington Redskins on Saturday. A tank running dangerously on empty couldn’t get the engine roaring again. The Redskins, a team fighting for a playoff berth, came out with the exact result expected. Washington’s roster is full of explosive weapons and is demonstratively suited to take advantage of a beaten down Bears team. That the defeat – a humiliating one at that – came on Christmas Eve, was just appropriate timing for Chicago. This franchise hasn’t experienced much success during head coach John Fox’s tenure to this point, and the symbolism couldn’t be more glaring. There were 478 yards allowed, a season high. Five interceptions by quarterback Matt Barkley. And a sobering 21,663 empty seats on a balmy weather, fine holiday. It would’ve been difficult to figure 5,000 diehard souls were still hanging around in the fourth quarter. Yes, you just read a sick version of ‘12 Days of Christmas’, Bears style. What Fox and this team possessed, even while injuries relentlessly piled on (18 players on injured reserve) in as an excuse, was a scrappy mentality to not burrow in once all hell broke loose. Seeing Sunday’s effort paints a different picture. All of those magnanimous football clichés can only hold up so much when you’re outmanned, outgunned, and quite frankly, outcoached. The full weight of collapse will wear on a team. But somehow – and can you really blame them – the Bears are selling progress. Staring in the face of record futility, Fox was immediately asked in the postgame press conference about this 3-12 team’s supposed ascension. He didn’t mince words, even if the sell becomes more arduous. “Hang with us, better days are to come,” said Fox. His partner-in-crime, general manager Ryan Pace – a man whose had to perform a complete strip down of a roster to restock that mentioned cupboard – said much of the same on this proposed budding success. “What I’d say is, I promise it’s coming,” said Pace of a future wave. More promises, whether they’re empty or not, are what the Bears need. It’s all they can do at the moment. It’s both Pace and Fox’s job to sell progress as mouthpieces. They
better be as genuinely convinced, or faking it, for the sake of the rest of the organization to move forward. This is what Chicago sold following the maligned Marc Trestman days, and it may yet still be true. Better health could offer the Bears future blessings. A potential number three overall pick in next year’s draft could net a generational player. And, this organization is flush with cash in cap space to fill an abundance of roster holes. But it’s fair to wonder whether the Bears are that close to the mountain. This franchise has been selling hope and promises for years, to no avail. Chicago has missed the postseason in nine out of the last 10 seasons. In the past 26 years, they’ve made the playoffs just six times. For pure comparison’s sake, the Houston Texans, an expansion team from 2002, has made the playoffs in four of the last six years. Furthermore, the Bears have won just 14 games in the last three seasons. They may finish with their first 0-8 record on the road, ever. And finally, they may have their worst record in a 16-game season ever. Go on down the line. Rebuilds in the NFL, unlike other sports, aren’t supposed to take this long. You either harmonize within the first few years, or implode. Otherwise impatience or injury, or the like, sets in. Contending windows and the opportunity to become a contender, fade away with the flick of a finger. The salary cap plays a role as well as does sticking with the modus operandi too long. These are just some of the reasons as to why teams such as the Bears have been perpetually spinning their wheels for now decades. It’s just so hard to find that right mix. Once you do, everything slows down in a calm haze. Until then, frustration and the nadir of reflexive oversight reign. The franchise with the most wins in NFL history has been relegated to an afterthought in one of the largest markets, as fan expectation becomes “how will they blow it next?” in contrast to any bright future. And it’s fair to ascertain whether these pieces that have many salivating at future prospects, are as bright as one will care to admit. Or, whether all of the holes on this team can be filled in time to capitalize on whatever machine is being built. The 2016 draft class featuring Jordan Howard, Leonard Floyd, and Cody Whitehair looks to be the foundation that the Bears need to spark a run. But then you see the aberration of the 2015 class with either half of the picks on injured reserve (Kevin White, Eddie Goldman, Hroniss Grasu) or have become spot players (Jeremy Langford,
Adrian Amos.) Two drafts and a deep, stark contrast in quality. Pace must make 2015 an anomaly, not routine. A defense many are enamored over potential dominance with, is on the verge of attaining a franchise record low in takeaways with 10 presently, breaking last year’s mark of 17. Great defenses get the ball away from offenses and set the field on lockdown. Good defense’s stop you often but offer a reprieve. The offensive line, which has allowed less than 30 sacks through 15 games, looks like it needs at least one more quality athlete at tackle for true consistency. The secondary is a mess, with not one player one could reasonably count on as part of the franchise unless health permits. The receiving core may lose its best player in Alshon Jeffery and be filled with unproven, but vibrant bright spots nonetheless in Cameron Meredith and Kevin White. On the field with other opponents, the Bears have again played divisional games competitive, a sign one could figure the gap is closing in the NFC North. But they accomplished the same moniker of competiveness among frequent enemies last year, yet here they are further entrenched in the mud. And of course, the lack of a franchise quarterback, which takes years to develop, even if you place the man in the right atmosphere and culture. This is a position Chicago has never experienced fortune with finding a superstar in the modern era, or in 90-plus years of existence. Finding one will be the greatest determining factor as to whether Pace and Fox deliver on their words of hope, and whether they right this ship of promises. Because of the rash of injuries, Chicago has had 62 rookie starts this season, second in the NFL. Other youthful teams such as the Atlanta Falcons and Dallas Cowboys have exploded in 2016. However, the league leader in rookie starts in the Cleveland Browns is in line for the number one overall pick. Youth and inexperience proving to be a delicate seesaw that doesn’t automatically mean teams become flourishing catalysts. Fox and others won’t back down from positivity though. “We see improvement. It’s not in our record, but I think we are closer than people think.” It’s up to the Bears to make these promises become reality, to offer actual evidence of that improvement in the right direction, and soon. Until then, it’s another long winter of discontent, and apathy at Halas Hall.
Week 17 at Vikings
In the final week of the season, Minnesota and Chicago have nothing to play for, as both have been eliminated from postseason contention. If Chicago loses, they will slot in with the number three overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. If the Bears win, they may fall back to number six overall. Theoretically, there’s a lot on the line. When the Bears are on defense: The Bears had fun with Minnesota’s putrid offensive line en route to a 20-10 win on Monday Night Football at Soldier Field on Halloween. Chicago’s defensive front recorded five sacks of quarterback Sam Bradford. It was the primary reason Chicago corralled its second win of the season. But with the bright rookie Floyd likely shut down due to a second concussion, there isn’t as much depth or flash among Chicago’s veterans to sink the Vikings. Young hasn’t recorded a sack in almost a month. While McPhee, is more of a complimentary pass rusher. Bad news as Bradford is coming off a week where he threw for three touchdowns and 382 yards against the Packers. Without a pass rush, the Bears blight of a secondary is exposed. Not a good mix. When the Bears are on offense: Minnesota’s formerly dominant defense has capitulated in recent weeks after giving up 34 points and 38 to the Colts and Packers respectively. But, Barkley has thrown 12 interceptions in six appearances A movable object meets a stoppable force. That being said, the Vikings defense should be favored in this matchup given the abundance of playmakers in the secondary with shutdown cornerback Xavier Rhodes, and his partner, Trae Waynes. Howard can set the Bears all-time rookie rushing record if he rushes for 61 yards, but even if he plays well (with limited carries), it might not matter if Barkley is in another giving mood against an opportunistic secondary. The Vikings were torn apart by Andrew Luck and Aaron Rodgers, two generational passing talents. To put it lightly, Barkley obviously does not fit that moniker. The Bears closed last season with a blowout defeat in Minnesota. This time, expect much of the same, but with a bright spot of a quality draft slot. For Auld Lang Syne. Early pick: Vikings 37 Bears 17. Robert Zeglinski is a staff writer for SB Nation and managing editor at No Coast Bias. Follow Robert on Twitter:@RobertZeglinski.

IceHogs captain Jake Dowell pots his first goal of the season in the third period to help down the Chicago Wolves 6-2. Dowell recently became Rockford’s first player to suit up for 300 games for the IceHogs, surpassing Evan Trophy’s mark of 299 games played. TODD REICHER
Hogs fight off Wolves, take 3 straight
By Todd Reicher Contributor
The Rockford IceHogs have found their winning ways again, beating the Chicago Wolves for their third straight win, and second-longest winning streak of the season. Rockford’s battle against Chicago was exactly that, with the last minute of the game ending in a line brawl, and Wolves goaltender Jordan Binnington getting ejected and receiving a onegame suspension. Compared to the rest of the game, period one was uneventful with neither team scoring, and Rockford going 0-for-3 on the powerplay and holding court in shots by a 10-9 margin. Things picked up in the second period when Chicago scored the first goal of the game – a fluke goal from Vince Dunn, to put Chicago up 1-0. As the puck was fired at the net, it appeared to careen off a Rockford player and make a large rainbow-shaped loop as it floated behind Lars Johansson for the goal. But Rockford responded quickly, exactly one minute later, as Evan Mosey put a clean shot past starter Pheonix Copley for his first IceHogs goal. Just 21 seconds later Rockford was enjoying
their first lead of the game, courtesy of Sam Carrick. The veteran forward but Copley cleanly off a nice feed from Tyler Barnes, his second of the game, to put Rockford up 2-1 and signal a quick end to Copley. Binnington came on in relief and was quickly scored upon by Carl Dahlstrom. The defenseman beat Binnington with a quick shot from the right face-off circle to increase Rockford’s lead to 3-1. The scoring continued for Rockford as their second shot on Binnington was also a score, this time a beauty by Tanner Kero. Kyle Baun carried the puck in on the left wing as Kero raced in hard towards the net. He was neck-and-neck with his defender when Baun lofted the puck towards the open area in front of the net. Kero dove at the puck with his stick fully extended towards the net, which caught enough of the puck to direct it past Binnington for the goal. As if that wasn’t enough scoring in such a short time period, Chicago’s leading scorer Wade Megan cut Rockford’s lead back down to two goals with his 13th goal of the season just one minute after the Kero score. Early in the third period Rockford would clamp the gates shut with two more quick succession
goals to take a commanding 6-2 lead. Carrick would score his second of the game with a nice snipe from the right side of the ice at 4:54, and Jake Dowell would be the recipient of a great cross-ice pass by Mosey 1:07 later to cap the scoring. As time wound down in the game, P.C. Labrie was being escorted off the ice by one of the linesman after a penalty. Labrie skated in the vicinity of Binnington and the two exchanged a few words. Apparently, Binnington caught Labrie with his stick earlier in the period, and Labrie had some choice words regarding the incident. Binnington lunged towards Labrie who in turn grabbed the next guard of Binnington’s mask and took a swing. Before Labrie could attempt a second punch, three Wolves players joined in the fray, and the melee was in full force. Dowell wound up getting into it with Dunn behind the net, and both were escorted off for second altercation and fighting penalties, along with Labrie and Binnington for fighting. Rockford and Chicago will face off again this evening in what will certainly be a barn-burner. Before Rockford would get to see the Wolves again, they would head to Iowa for a rare Monday game against the Wild.
It had been some time since Rockford’s special teams put a puck in the net, but on their second opportunity in the first period, Ville Pokka put one past Alex Stalock to give Rockford the early lead. Iowa took their turn to score on the power play with Mario Lucia tallying his fourth of the season with 1:54 left to play in the period. The game remained tied until late in the second period when Iowa scored two quick goals to take a big 3-1 lead into the third period. Teemu Pulkkinen scored with 3:18 left in the period, followed 1:58 later by Christoph Bertschy, both at even strength. Rockford pulled Johansson late in the game, but Pulkkinen, notching his third point of the night, put the puck in the empty net to give Iowa the 4-1 win, ending Rockford’s three game win streak.
Looking forward
Rockford finishes off the season with the aforementioned Wolves game tonight followed by a game Friday against the Wild. The ‘Hogs then bus it up to Grand Rapids on New Year’s Eve for the final game of 2016 against the Griffins.
