City braces for arctic punch

By Jennifer Delgado and Cynthia Dizikes
Everyday activities may not be feasible, Gary Schenkel, executive director of Chicagos Office of Emergency Management and Communications, said at a news conference Sunday to detail how the city planned on handling the unusual arctic blast. If you can stay indoors, please do so. To accommodate the phenomenon, airlines are reducing their schedules as aviation workers vigorously clear runways, said Rosemarie Andolino, commissioner of the Chicago Department of Aviation. At the citys two airports, more than 1,500 flights were canceled Sunday, and officials encouraged Monday travelers to call airlines

A dangerous cold front was expected to bring the Chicago area to a crawl Monday, with a flurry of school closings, flight and train cancellations, and calls for the public to avoid temperatures expected to drop to at least 10 below zero. Powerful, freezing winds in the atmosphere will swoop into the area by Monday morning, pulling air from the Arctic through Canada and into the city. Temperatures could fall to as low as 20 degrees below zero, but the winds will make it feel more like 30 below to 50 below, according to the National Weather Service.

Minority students now the majority in Illinois

White enrollment continues to decline, state figures show

Cancer researchers at the University of Chicago will get a substantial boost Monday, when an international nonprofit plans to announce that the university and five other leading institutions will each receive $90 million to advance new treatments aimed at eradicating cancer. The $540 million gift from Ludwig Cancer Research, a fund created by the late billionaire Daniel Ludwig, comes at a time when government and private funding for medical research is on the decline.

New enrollment numbers show that lllinois public school system for the first time does not have a white majority, with Latino, black, Asian and other racial groups combined eclipsing white students across the states classrooms. Whites fell to 49.76 percent of the student body this school year, the new data show, a demographic tipping point that came after years of sliding white enrollment and a rise in Latino, Asian and multiracial students. The black student population
also has declined, but it still makes up almost 18 percent of the states public school students. The Illinois State Board of Education posted the fall enrollment figures online in December, but spokeswoman Mary Fergus cautioned that the numbers could change if districts make corrections in the coming months. Even a small change in the figures could make all the difference, in whether minority students become the majority in Illinois schools, she said. The fall figures reported by districts are not far apart for 2013-14. White students: 1,023,382. Other racial groups: 1,033,110. If those numbers hold, Illinois

We are drawn to unravel the mysteries of the universe. How did matter come to be? What is the purpose of existence? And why do people go out on a bitter winter day dressed for brisk spring? I have been lumbering through the arctic streets in my massive down parka lately, peering out in wonder from the depths of my hood. Look, a guy with his jacket open and no hat! And over there, a woman with no gloves and her hands outside her pockets. I turn my head no, my whole body, because of my hood, which extends so far in front of me that I have no peripheral vision to stare. Thin wool coats. Suit jackets worn as coats. Unzipped jackets. Bare necks. Fleece hoodies. Cropped pants over bare calves. Necks unprotected by scarves. Temperatures in the teens and single digits apparently leave some people unimpressed. What are the lightly dressed thinking? Over a few cold but not deadly days, I asked some. Pam Raab was striding down Michigan Avenue, hatless and gloveless, her jacket open. I waddled over in my wool pants over thermal underwear, two sweaters and insulated boots that felt like cement overshoes. Wasnt she cold? She was not. Im from Colorado, she said, and is accustomed to the cold. Also, she said, she doesnt mind the cold: Im always a little warmer than other people. I would have talked to her longer, but my fingers were so cold I had to put them back in my mittens and wrap them around my chemical hand warmers. On I tottered, seeking explanations. They seemed to fall into categories. Biology Like Raab, a number of people said they simply didnt feel cold. In which case maybe the lightly dressed are a different species of human, immune to the cold. Comparative inclemency Joe Perkowitz (fleece jacket, no hat, no gloves), who was at Daley pictures on her cellphone). But she was mostly dashing between stores on this afternoon. And it was better to be underdressed for the dashing, she thought, than to be overdressed for the shopping. Stupidity Im an idiot, said Bryan Lanik genially (no hat, no gloves, lightweight jacket over sweatshirt). But actually, Lanik belonged in the biology category. He didnt feel cold, he said, except for a little chill on his ears. I dont like wearing hats, he said, though he does make exceptions, like when he recently took a long walk in temperatures considerably below zero. I put on a hat that day, he said. I trudged off in my snow pants. I still dont get enduring extreme cold without serious clothes. I dont consider myself appropriately dressed for winter unless I am virtually immobilized. Though its also a good sign if people snigger when they see me. And when I hove into view at an office elevator fully outfitted for a walk up the block, several peoples mouths twitched. Well, let them laugh. Or take photos, as a couple of tourists did a number of years ago when they spotted me in my parka with the hood zipped up and extending so far forward that I looked like I had the snout of an anteater. Its an appalling sight. Still, we winter-bundlers can take comfort in the knowledge that we are unrecognizable. So little of us is visible that it takes a sharp eye to see who we are. Ive had good friends walk by me without a word. Although that may be because I look like an anteater. blbrotman@tribune.com

State pension law under financial review
Wall Street, credit agencies and the state want to see if bill will actually save $160 billion
By Ray Long
Tribune reporter
SPRINGFIELD When Illinois lawmakers narrowly approved major changes to the public employee retirement system last month, supporters touted the measure as saving $160 billion over 30 years. While that estimate was more than a back-of-the-cocktail-napkin figure, the final version of the pension law is being scrutinized by several other number crunchers to see if the math adds up. The individual state pension systems and the legislatures budget forecasting agency have tapped financial experts to take a look. And ratings agencies such as Fitch, Moodys, and Standard & Poors are engaged in their own examinations into how the pension law fits into the states overall financial picture. What emerges from those analyses in the coming weeks will help shape Wall Streets reaction, which goes a long way toward determining whether Illinois will get a boost to its bad credit rating and avoid hitting taxpayers with additional interest charges when the state goes to borrow money. The ratings agencies, they tend to be fairly quick to downgrade and fairly slow to upgrade, said John Sinsheimer, the point
man on the pension issue for Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn. They want to make sure that whatever changes you put in place are going to take hold and take effect. Sorting out the financial impact is complicated, given the large number of changes in a law that will affect hundreds of thousands of state workers, university employees and public school teachers in classrooms outside Chicago. The law raises retirement ages, cuts cost-of-living increases and allows some workers to move into a 401(k)-style retirement plan, among other things. Its not the thing you can do on the back of the envelope, said Dan Long, who leads the legislatures bipartisan Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability. His agency has a private firm taking a hard look at the pension laws projected savings, a task made difficult by what Long called all the moving parts. The New York credit rating agencies judging Illinois overall financial health also will attempt to factor in whether the courts will toss out the pension law and send Quinn and lawmakers back to the drawing board. Two lawsuits have been filed by retired teachers and state employees, with more suits expected to come this month. Another factor is whether the
state will make permanent the temporary 67 percent personal income-tax rate increase that is scheduled to start expiring at the end of the year. A re-electionseeking Quinn has declined to say whether hell push to keep the tax hike. Not extending it would blow a $5 billion a year hole in the budget in a state already billions of dollars behind on paying its bills. Illinois chronic money woes led Wall Street to bestow upon it the worst credit rating of any state in the nation. Since April, the ratings agencies twice downgraded the Quinn state, frustrated by a lack of action on the pension debt. There was a glimmer of hope at the Capitol a few days after Quinn signed the pension bill into law. Illinois borrowed $350 million to build roads, schools and other public works projects, and the state calculated that it had saved $20 million over the course of the 25-year loan after the markets responded favorably to the pension law. Republican Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford, who opposed the pension measure because he doubts it is constitutional, contended the savings would have been much better if the state had not let the credit rating sink so low.
Though the pension vote won favorable preliminary reviews, the credit ratings firms may have many of the same questions about Illinois new pension rules that surfaced during the Dec. 3 debate on the bill that was sponsored in the House by Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago. Republican Rep. David McSweeney of Barrington Hills, a former investment banker, contended the bipartisan Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability should have completed an independent actuarial review of the final pension bill before lawmakers voted on it. Im focused on confirming the numbers are right, McSweeney said. I dont want to get it wrong. Madigan responded that the four Democratic and Republican legislative caucuses, using figures largely produced by financial experts hired by the state pension funds, had reached agreement on the set of numbers that were using. The speaker said he would be willing to send the figures to the commission for analysis, but he left little doubt that wouldnt happen until after the bill was passed. When lawmakers voted, the last-minute tweaks made to the pension bill had not been run through the number-crunching process. But legislative leaders felt confident in the measure, which includes a provision that requires more money to be paid each year
into the systems in a move akin to making early mortgage payments to save money in the long run. Pension savings estimates are a tricky business. Last summer, the estimates changed on a pension plan Madigan had moved through the House in the spring. An error made by a firm doing calculations for the Teachers Retirement System had overcounted savings by $24 billion. Last week, Auditor General William Holland issued a report from the states actuary that suggested the pension systems investment growth assumptions remain too high. The retirement systems covering state workers and public university employees count on 7.75 percent annual growth rate, but the report suggested 7.25 percent might be a more accurate assumption. Failure to hit rosy growth estimates were part of what got the state into its pension mess. Now state leaders wait for the next round of evaluations on the states pension law. A question McSweeney asked during debate still resonates: What will happen if the deeper financial reviews discover the pension plan will fall way short of the $160 billion savings estimate? Speaking for myself, Madigan replied, I would be prepared to go back to work. rlong@tribune.com Twitter @RayLong
Ticket to ride: Smartphone

CTA looks forward to fares paid with mobile devices
Jon Hilkevitch
Getting Around CTA bus and train riders still coming to grips with Ventra could be paying fares in the not-toodistant future using smartphones and other mobile devices, at least those that can tap to transfer information, the transit agency has told Getting Around. The CTA and its fare-collection contractor, Cubic Transportation Systems Inc., are testing the smartphone payment method, one that has been a goal the transit agency set long before it hired Cubic in 2011 to develop and manage the Ventra farepayment system. Ventra allows riders on the CTA and Pace to use personal credit and debit cards that have contactless technology, as well as Ventra cards or cash to pay fares on buses and at rail stations. On the CTA and Pace, Ventra will eventually allow riders to load fare value onto paymentenabled mobile devices. The stumbling block is that only a small number of smartphones, tablets and other portable devices sold in the U.S. market now feature the technology that is compatible with Ventra readers that the CTA and Pace use. The iPhone 5 is among the devices that doesnt. That technology is called near field communication, or NFC. Devices that have it can transfer information from one to another by being close together, or tapping, according to experts. CTA and Cubic are testing the limited number of NFC-enabled devices currently on the market with the goal of having the system used for both buses and trains, CTA spokesman Brian Steele said. So far we havent run into any problems, but we are still testing. An announcement could come later this year, Steele said. A different kind of mobile payment technology can already be found at commuter rail agencies in California, Texas and Massachusetts, which allow their customers to use smartphones to show proof of payment when conductors walk through cars to collect fares.

valid for a particular day, provides confirmation that a ticket or a pass was purchased, officials said. Smartphone ticketing is going to be the way to go in the future, said Martin Schroeder, chief technology officer at the American Public Transportation Association, which is the trade group representing U.S. transit agencies. It can replace the ticket vending machine, right there in your hands, without riders having to wait in line, and it also provides flexibility in selecting payment methods. Since 2012, Amtrak has offered an electronic-ticketing program on its national network that lets passengers use smartphones to present their e-tickets to conductors. The conductors use iPhones with an optical reader attachment to scan the quick response code, or QR code, displayed on the customers smartphone screens. Benefits include being able to skip the line at ticket counters and go directly to the departure gate, said Matt Hardison, Amtraks chief marketing and sales officer. Passengers without smartphones can print their tickets at home or at Amtrak e-ticket kiosks. The paper tickets also con-
tain the QR code. Using the phone is so much easier than carrying around a paper ticket, Amtrak passenger Alex Navarro said Friday as he pulled up his ticket on his email while riding a train from Chicago to St. Louis to visit friends. To be honest, you dont always equate Amtrak with efficiency, but this is great, said Navarro, 24, who lives in Chicagos Uptown neighborhood. Erick Newsome, a veteran Amtrak conductor, said employees were a bit apprehensive about the new system at first, but as it progressed and all the bugs were removed, we wouldnt trade it for the world. Metra, which is not participating in Ventra yet, is planning to conduct a smartphone-ticketing pilot project starting about June, officials said. We have been looking at the mobile-ticketing programs at a variety of commuter railroads, including in the regions around Dallas, Boston, Philadelphia and south Florida, as well as some prototypes that are not yet in use, said Metra spokesman Michael Gillis. State legislation requires the CTA, Metra and Pace to adopt a
single, shared fare-payment method by 2015. In the meantime, the CTA still allows magnetic-stripe transit cards and the Chicago Card and Chicago Card Plus, but they will be eliminated. The phase-out, originally scheduled to have been completed in mid-December, has been delayed until further notice due to glitches with Ventra since the $454 million system was introduced in late summer, transit officials have said. CTA officials said the QR code system that Amtrak uses would not work on the CTA, partly for technological reasons but also because of the CTAs gated entries at rail stations and its large passenger volumes. The CTA fare system is fully electronic and does not include verification of payment by agency personnel. Also, lining up a QR code on a screen with an optical reader can take a couple of seconds. The Ventra readers are supposed to scan cards in a halfsecond or less, although the system has initially failed to meet that standard. With the relatively small number of NFC-enabled smartphones and other mobile devices available in the U.S., no widespread
interface currently exists to tap or swipe the majority of devices in use on the gated systems operated by transit agencies, said Schroeder, the technology expert at the American Public Transportation Association. NFC is growing in the U.S. but not very quickly, Schroeder said. How soon the transformation occurs will depend on the handset manufacturers who will put NFC in the phones, and on merchants, whose stores have bar code readers, he said. Retailers are not sure there is enough value to them to invest in NFC. And the banking industry is promoting the bank cards as the way to go for transit, because those smartcards already exist and can interface with transit, he said. But pointing to trends in Asia and Europe, Schroeder said mobile phones are the ultimate application for transit. Contact Getting Around at jhilkevitch@tribune.com or c/o the Chicago Tribune, 435 N.

Floating life at sea as alternative career

Nonmilitary maritime high school set to get underway at Far South Side marina
Dawn Turner Trice
Short Stories Jackson said Prologue has been planning the school for about four years and chose to focus on the maritime industry because of the thousands of entrylevel jobs that go unfilled every year. In addition, more jobs are expected to be added with the Panama Canals expansion, expected to be completed this year. There are almost 100 occupations in this industry, she said. Our kids can be marine biologists, deep sea divers, engineers, carpenters, pipe fitters, welders, mechanics. They can work for local shipping companies or become the captain of a big cruise ship. We want our kids to be trained for jobs locally and around the world. The main thing is that they dont have to be in the military to learn this. Capt. Mark Stevenson is a shipmaster who can drive any vessel up to 100 tons and is a consultant with the school. Hes passionate about getting youth, particularly troubled teens, involved in the maritime industry. I call this school the miracle on the Little Calumet, said Stevenson, past president of the International Shipmasters Association, Chicago Lodge. We want this to be a state-ofthe-art facility. Weve donated about 40 good boats and about 30 junk boats to train these students how to work on the motors and how to do fiberglass work. Were not just looking to give them certificates, but we want them to have a good background in science, technology engineering and mathematics. Prologue serves students who have struggled in typical high school settings. Some have criminal records. Jackson said many have had difficulty finding good jobs after graduation. She hopes the maritime industry will offer them new opportunities. She said Prologue spent two years trying to purchase property on the North Side along the Chicago River. Not long after that effort fell through, the 5-acre South Vernon Avenue property in the Roseland neighborhood became available. The marina has a lagoon that opens out onto the Little Calumet River. About half a mile down the river, just beyond a bend, is Lake Michigan. Though much of the river was iced over last week, barge traffic had carved a path down the middle. Although this area is a diamond in the rough, environmentalist Naomi Davis hopes it will attract students, age 16 to 21, for the after-school program that she will lead. The program is funded by a grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources for educating students about the river and its cleanup. There have been environmental issues in this area for a very long time, said Davis, founder of the environmental organization Blacks in Green. We want these kids to know that there are problems but we can be the solution. The after-school program also will include a pontoon-boat-building project. Jackson said in September the schools first class will number about 250 students. They will have an opportunity to interact with an array of people, such as members of shipmasters associations, and earn licenses and certificates as well as the sea hours needed to become a ship captain. But theres something else Jackson hopes her students will learn something that may seem pretty basic. Many of our black and brown children still dont know how to swim, she said. We believe we should be training them so that they dont fear the water and they can take advantage of every opportunity.

Before last summer, the property surrounding the former Skippers Marina, at 134th Street and Vernon Avenue, was a dumping ground of boat carcasses, old tires and a nearly impenetrable thicket of weeds. But recently Nancy Jackson, executive director of the nonprofit Prologue Inc., got a grant that allowed her to hire students to clear the property. Now, when she walks around it, even on a recent snowy day, she has a clear vision of what she hopes will be home to her agencys fourth alternative high school. The William Tillman Maritime Alternative High School is expected to open this fall and is believed to be the only nonmilitary high school maritime academy in the state. An after-school program is scheduled to open there this month. The school is named after a free black man who, during the Civil War, rescued a merchant schooner that had fallen into the hands of the Confederacy. Jackson wants her students, many of whom will come from the nearby Altgeld-Murray Homes public housing project, to understand that AfricanAmericans have a strong historical connection to the water. We talked to parents who said their kids live less than a block away from here but have never been over here, Jackson told me as we stood near the docks last week. Even before the area became overgrown, when this was a viable marina, the parents themselves werent welcome. They didnt own boats. They werent members here.

New Illinois law limits probation for motorists in deadly crashes

Drivers in fatal crashes will be less likely to get a special kind of probation under a new law that went into effect this year. The law is the latest to limit when judges can use the probation, called court supervision, which is widely popular because its not listed on drivers publicly available driving abstracts. That means insurance companies cant see the tickets, nor does the state count them toward the three-a-year conviction limit that can lead to a license suspension. Critics have complained that judges have been too lenient granting supervisions. In 2010, the Tribune found supervisions were
given to most speeders going 100 mph or faster, prompting a state law that prohibited supervisions for egregious speeders. The new law targets drivers who kill others. It limits supervision in fatal crashes only to drivers who have clean records before the crash, typically those who avoided getting convictions or supervisions for at least the four years before the crash. It was pushed by the secretary of states office, which cited two cases. One involved Patricia McNamara, who was killed by a McHenry County driver distracted by his cellphone. The driver was granted supervision, despite having past speeding convictions. The other case involved
a Chicago cabdriver with a history of tickets. The cabbie was granted supervision after running over an elderly woman in a crosswalk. McNamaras parents, Walter and Carol Speer, said in an email that they hope the new law makes drivers think twice before being distracted by their cellphones. A separate state law, also taking effect this year, prohibits the use of hand-held cellphones. We are trying to take one more step closer to saving another life, the couple said. Secretary of State Jesse White called the law an important next step in promoting traffic safety and one that makes sense. jmahr@tribune.com

before arriving and passed out pillows and blankets to those who were stranded. CTA trains and buses were expected to operate Monday, transit officials said Sunday. Metra trains were expected to run Monday as well, but officials warned of possible weather-related delays and slowdowns. Amtrak officials said the agency would curtail service to and from Chicago. All South Shore Line train service will be canceled Monday. Meanwhile, school cancellations are set to keep hundreds of thousands of Chicago-area children out of classes Monday, the same day many would have returned from winter break. Chicago Public Schools made its announcement late Sunday, a decision that followed criticism from the Chicago Teachers Union about sending kids to school in dangerous conditions. Many districts across the area have decided to also close schools for Monday and will monitor the weather to see whether to extend the closings into Tuesday. Many area colleges and universities canceled classes for Monday as well, including the seven main City College campuses and Northwestern University. Keeping the citys streets clear was proving difficult for Monday mornings commute as streets and sanitation workers battled strong winds and drifting snow, Commissioner Charles Williams said. He said crews would work overnight to deal with snow that may have blown back onto roads. Illinois transportation officials had more than 1,700 trucks out Sunday evening to clear state roads, 90 percent of which were covered by ice and snow. Well still be playing catch-up on Monday, Illinois Department of Transportation Secretary Ann Schneider said of crews efforts. Its going to be very difficult to see those conditions improve over the
overnight hours. Parts of Interstates 94 and 65 in Indiana and U.S. Highway 30 and state Highway 38 in Kane County in Illinois were closed Sunday because of the extreme weather. Back in Chicago, overnight shelters run by the citys Department of Family & Support Services stood ready to increase the number of beds they offer, if needed, but officials said they did not expect demand to be overwhelming, Commissioner Evelyn Diaz said. Were not really anticipating that were going to run out of space, Diaz said. So our message right now is no one will be turned away. City and private agencies Sunday canvassed the streets in search of homeless people. By 2:30 p.m., Nicholas Benedetto, director of case management services at the Chicagobased Franciscan Outreach, had yet to find anyone. That doesnt mean anything, he said. Sean and Theresa Smith, both 40, waited until darkness fell before approaching a warming center at 10 S. Kedzie Ave. in East Garfield Park, where women, men and children lounged inside a large open room inside the community service center. Normally the couple sleep under a bridge with layers of blankets, Theresa Smith said. Its so cold weve got to do something, said Sean Smith, while his wife rushed into the lobby area to warm up. I cant risk waking up with my wife frozen next to me. By about 7:30 p.m., the couple were still looking for a place to stay the night. This weeks cold snap is expected to be relatively short-lived compared to previous ones in the late 1970s and a five-night string of subzero temperatures in February 2007 that caused pipes to burst, turned highways into parking lots and led to equipment breakdowns on jet fuel trucks at OHare International Airport.

Temperatures are expected to drop drastically Sunday night, and high temperatures are expected to be below zero Monday and Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service, possibly ranking this cold streak among Chicagos longest.

main below zero through Tuesday, as forecast, it will be the first time since February 1996 that the city has been gripped by negative
temperatures for at least 48 hours straight. Temperatures are expected to creep back above zero by Tuesday afternoon,
with a possible high near 30 degrees later in the week. Mondays deep freeze is also expected to break the record for the lowest high temperature on Jan. 6. For those staying at home, Chicago Fire Department officials reminded residents to keep space heaters at least 3 feet from anything that might burn, like curtains and bedding, and check carbon monoxide detectors. In a buildings normal heating cycle there might be a little bit of an unnoticed carbon monoxide leak, spokesman Larry Langford said. But if the furnace is running continuously that means that any carbon monoxide problem could be amplified. The Fire Department also may send additional engines out on typical residential fires in case fire
hydrants freeze. Every fall, the department inspects the citys fire hydrants to ensure that they are working and that any standing water is removed. But if the hydrant is used by others later and improperly shut down, water can remain and freeze the hydrant shut, department officials said. As an added precaution, the citys Department of Water Management will also send extra crews with firefighters to troubleshoot any hydrant issues, spokesman Tom LaPorte said. As usual in frigid temperatures, LaPorte recommended that people run a small stream of water from one of the faucets in their home to help keep pipes from freezing, recommending that anyone who discovers a frozen pipe call 311. The CTA and the citys streets department also plan to use heaters on rail switches to prevent freezing and mix street salt with beet juice to increase melting effectiveness.

Tips for coping with cold

At home
Do not use an oven as a heating device. Read directions before using space heaters and other portable heating units. Check carbon monoxide detectors to ensure they are working properly. If possible, run a small stream of water from a home faucet to help prevent pipes from freezing. Have bottled water, canned food, flashlights and batteries on hand. Residents who have no heat should check with their local municipality or township about warming centers.
Outside
keep feet and hands warm and dry. Cover as much of your face as possible while outside and breathe through a scarf to warm air before it enters your lungs. Wear several layers of lightweight clothing, rather than one or two layers of heavy garments. The air between the garments acts as insulation to keep the body warmer. If possible use digital tracking applications for public transportation to limit wait time outside. Seek medical attention immediately if you have these symptoms:

The CTA also plans to check elevators at rail stations every 30 minutes in case the cold weather prevents the lifts from working, spokeswoman Tammy Chase said. At the same time, medical professionals warned of the serious threat of hypothermia and frostbite for those venturing outside. Dr. Martin Fedko, emergency physician at Rush University Medical Center, cautioned that those braving the cold should wear layers, cover their heads, hands and feet and avoid getting wet. Frostbite is, essentially, freezing of your tissues, Fedko said. There is decreased blood flow to the tissues (in your extremities) because it is so cold, and that risks tissue damage. Signs of frostbite include numbness and tingling in the extremities. Skin suffering from frostbite will usually look pale, but in more severe cases the tissue will become discolored, eventually blistering and

turning black. Anyone who believes that they are suffering from frostbite should seek medical attention, Fedko said. In the temperatures expected early this week, he said people can start developing the beginning symptoms of frostbite known as frostnip in anywhere from five to 10 minutes. People need to be more aware because we are not accustomed to these things, and we are not used to this level of cold in this sustained period of time, Fedko said. We may take for
granted what our bodies can truly tolerate. Animals, too, face health consequences when temperatures drop. Pets are more likely to have respiratory problems because of the cold weather, particularly those that are older, smaller or have underlying health issues.

CPS joins other districts in closing schools

Officials to monitor cold before deciding on Tuesdays classes
By Stephanie K. Baer
Tribune reporter
Jeff Miller considers himself one of the lucky ones. The Highland Park resident, who works for Zion Elementary School District 6, and his wife get to stay home from work Monday because of subzero temperatures and care for their first-grade daughter, but he knows that some of their friends wont be as fortunate. District schools will be closed Monday, according to the districts website. I would hope that cities, villages would have some kind of contingency plan
for this type of extreme weather for those families that cannot get off of work, Miller said. I would hope that there could be at least a discussion about having somebody being available to help with those families. Such concerns are bound to be widespread across the Chicago area, where this weeks dangerously cold weather has prompted most school districts to cancel Monday classes. The safety and wellbeing of our students is paramount, Chicago Public Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett said about the districts decision Sunday to cancel classes. Given the dangerously cold temperatures and high winds, it is in the best interest of our students for
schools to be closed on Monday. CPS decision to close schools for the first time in three years followed several days of district officials saying that schools would stay open but that parents should exercise discretion in whether to keep their children home, a position that drew criticism from the Chicago Teachers Union. With forecasts projecting wind chills up to 50 degrees below zero, schools officials in Highland Park, Downers Grove, Naperville and elsewhere in the Chicago area decided over the weekend to close schools Monday. All Catholic elementary schools in Cook and Lake counties are also scheduled to be closed Monday, the
Archdiocese of Chicagos Office of Catholic Schools announced Sunday. Catholic high schools were making their decisions individually because of governance issues, according to a statement from the office. Several suburban districts continued to monitor conditions before ultimately deciding midday Sunday to close. The forecast has been holding pretty steady and the temperature is indeed dropping, said Jim Blaney, spokesman for St. Charles Community Unit School District 303. We thought it would be helpful to make the decision early rather than waiting any longer. It seems pretty inevitable that we are indeed going to have some severely cold temperatures.
Most school officials, including those at CPS, said they expected school to resume Tuesday, but they would continue to check on the weather and close schools a second day if necessary. Some parents were taking the closings in stride. Clarendon Hills resident Mary Healy Jonas said she and her family, including two school-age children, were relieved to learn that Burr Ridge-based Community Consolidated School District 181 decided to close schools Monday. Its not disrupting us at all, said Healy Jonas, a stay-at-home mom. Its the end of vacation, and you get an extra day. Its fun. sbaer@tribune.com Twitter @skbaer

A 25-year-old Northwest Side man has been charged in the mid-December sexual assault of a teenage girl whose injuries were so severe that she remains in critical condition, authorities said Sunday. Detectives were led to Luis Alberto Pantoja, 25, through DNA that officials collected from a condom wrapper found near the Belmont Cragin backyard where the girl was attacked just before dawn Dec. 17, according to a law enforcement source. Pantoja was arrested at his home Friday without incident, according to police, who said additional physical evidence was recovered then. Pantoja, of the 5500 block of West Wrightwood Avenue, is charged with attempted first-degree murder, aggravated criminal sexual assault, aggravated battery and unlawful use of a weapon by a felon. Pantoja was ordered held without bail during a hearing Sunday. But because he is hearing-impaired and unable to speak, he will attend another bond hearing Tuesday, when a sign language interpreter is available, according to a police report. Pantoja was found with a .32-caliber revolver, police said in a release, but its unclear if he had it during the attack, said Sally Daly, a spokeswoman for the Cook County states attorneys office. The attack happened in the 2400 block of North Long Avenue about 5:25 a.m., police said. The girl was found by a neighbor

A 15-year-old girl was sexually assaulted and beaten Dec. 17 in a yard near this bus stop at Fullerton and Long avenues while walking to catch the bus during her commute to school.
about two hours later, halfclothed and bleeding from the head. At a Sunday news conference, Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy congratulated Area North detectives and agents from the U.S. Marshals Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force on the arrest. He said further investigation showed the girl was attacked an hour earlier than Pantoja detectives thought. The girl was on her way to catch a bus so that she could meet her father and get a ride to school, McCarthy said. He said the girl would usually leave a little later in the morning to do so, which is why police thought the attack occurred later in the morning. This was really important because it helped our detectives pinpoint the offenders whereabouts at the time of the incident, McCarthy said at a Northwest Side police station. With
the new time of occurrence, a second canvass revealed possible witnesses who subsequently picked the offender out of a physical lineup. The DNA evidence was run through a federal database of DNA profiles from convicted felons. Chicago police found a match because Pantoja had to submit a DNA sample to law enforcement after a felony conviction for his role in a fatal 2007 traffic crash in Illinois, police said. In that case, Pantoja was sentenced to six years after he pleaded guilty in 2008 to possession of a stolen motor vehicle and failure to report a traffic crash that involved death, records show. In the plea deal, charges of reckless homicide and failure to report an accident involving death were dropped, records show. Police declined to say who identified Pantoja as the man responsible for the attack on the 15-year-old.
The teen was initially reported in a coma with severe head injuries. Late last month, officials said the girls condition had improved and she was talking with police. Police said in a news release Sunday that she remained in critical condition. Shes doing better. Her and her family are taking it day by day, but we can only keep her in our thoughts and hope she improves. But she is doing better, Area North Cmdr. Gary Yamashiroya said Sunday at a news conference. Ald. Ariel Reboyras, whose 30th Ward includes the site of the attack, praised police. The community needs to be vigilant, he said.

New student majority

would be one of a dozen states and the first in the Midwest to have a school system in which minority students are in the majority, according to the most recent federal education data. Included in that category are Western and Southern states with large Latino or black populations, as well as the District of Columbia, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. The rise in minority students in schools can potentially affect everything from how states fund education to graduation rates, test scores and the teaching staff, said Kathy Christie, a vice president at the Education Commission of the States, a national group that tracks school policy and research to help improve education. Black and Latino students still lag white students on national tests, she said, and low performance could hinder their chances to graduate. Obviously, we have to do a much better job with these kids we just have to, Christie said. The Tribune analyzed
the 2013-14 fall enrollment data as well as enrollment statistics dating to 2002-03 for more than 900 public school districts, which include special education cooperatives, finding: The Latino student population this school year exceeded half a million for the first time, with 507,264 students making up almost 25 percent of the school population. In 2002-03, there were about 350,000 Latino students, about 17 percent of the student body. White students numbered 1,209,948 in 2002-03, almost 60 percent of the school population but dropped by about 186,000 students by 2013-14. The number of black students dropped from about 433,000 to 361,000 in that same period. Almost 20 percent of districts, including some special education cooperatives, have minority students in the majority in their schools. Most of those districts are in the Chicago area, with some having majority black populations and others having majority Latino populations. Illinois diverse student population doesnt match the diversity of its teaching
staff. Based on 2012 state data, 83 percent of Illinois public school teachers are white. Christie said students need role models who look like them and understand their culture. However, the quality of that teacher is absolutely more important than what the teacher looks like, she said. Likewise, Aviva Bowen, spokeswoman for the Illinois Federation of Teachers, said: There is certainly value in having more diversity in our schools, though we wouldnt suggest a formula where the teaching staff was required to reflect the student population by some specific ratio. Student outcomes and success are far more complicated than that. Fergus said the state has been working to close gaps in achievement between white and minority students and has pushed for more minority teachers and bilingual teachers, among other measures, in response to the changing racial makeup of schools. We have seen this change coming, and weve been implementing some policy initiatives in recognition of that, Fergus said. drado@tribune.com
nite future without having to worry about whether their research is going to be funded next year. The gift adds to a $120 million endowment in 2006 that created Ludwig Centers at the U. of C., Johns Hopkins University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Stanford University. The Chicago research center, headed by radiation oncologist Dr. Ralph Weichselbaum and Geoffrey Greene, a molecular biologist, has now received a total of $110 million from Ludwig, which it says should fund in perpetuity continuing study. The Ludwig endowment comes at a crucial time for research institutions like the U. of C., which are finding it increasingly difficult to secure grants and other funding to support biomedical research. A major source of government funding for medical research is in decline, in part because of a 5.5 percent, or $1.55 billion, cut to the National Institutes of Health that took effect in March as part of automatic spending reductions triggered by the so-called sequestration. That came on top of other reductions to NIH funding during the past decade, as well as a decline in private sector spending on research, according to a recent study by the New England Journal of Medicine. That study, published Wednesday, found that U.S. spending on medical research fell to $119 billion in 2012, from $131 billion in 2007. The decline dropped the U.S. share of global biomedical research to 45 percent, from 51 percent five years prior. At this time in the history of federal research dollars, the Ludwig fund-
ing has created a remarkable opportunity for me and others here to pursue topics, technologies and other initiatives that we just cant get through federal funding, Greene said in an interview. Its really such a tremendous advantage. Greene and Weichselbaum said the funding will help the center accelerate and advance its continuing body of research on metastasis, the process by which cancer cells migrate from a primary tumor to distant sites in the body. In many cases, primary tumors do not prove fatal. But when the corrupted cancer cells spread and take over vital organs like the liver, lungs and brain, it most often becomes deadly. When cancers be-
Were here to alter the course of cancer.

Ed McDermott, president and CEO of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research come metastatic, theyre notoriously resistant to treatment, accounting for 80 to 90 percent of cancer deaths, researchers say. The U. of C. plans to use the money to hire researchers, technicians and scientists and purchase equipment. The grant also provides a unique flexibility to pursue unconventional research that other entities often do not fund. Its pivotal funding at a time when I think it would have been very hard (to continue this research) otherwise, Weichselbaum said. The entirety of science revolves around fresh ideas and new infusions of talent, and I think universities are finding this increasingly difficult. The Ludwig Center is inside the U. of C.s Gwen and Jules Knapp Center for Biomedical Discovery,
which opened in 2009. The latest funding should enable each center to build a self-sustaining endowment that will yield about $4 million to $5 million in annual research funds in the near term, with amounts growing in later years as their endowments grow, the fund said. Each university will be responsible for managing its own endowment investments. Although each center has its own specific focus in the disease category, they commonly collaborate to share theories and discoveries about the nature of cancer and better ways to treat it. The whole purpose of this funding is meant to be transformative, McDermott said. It is meant to relieve investigators from being wholly reliant on short-term grant funding to enable more innovative, higher-risk research. In a typical grant process, researchers have shorter time frames typically about three years to conduct studies and show results in order to get re-funded, McDermott said. The practice tends to encourage incrementalism. Instead, he said, the Ludwig money aims for major breakthroughs. Daniel Ludwig, a shipowner who was born in 1897 in South Haven, Mich., invented the supertanker and made successful investments in oil, mining, real estate, agriculture and luxury hotels. Ludwig consistently ranked among the richest men in the world in the 1960s and 1970s. He died in 1992. In 1971, he established the international Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, which has now spent more than $2.5 billion on cancer research.

Kerry: This is their fight
He says U.S. will help Iraq but not send troops
By Richard A. Serrano
Tribune Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON Secretary of State John Kerry pledged Sunday to do everything that is possible to help Iraqi government forces in an escalating battle against al-Qaida-linked insurgents in western Anbar province but said the Obama administration will not send American troops back to Iraq. After heavy fighting, Sunni Muslim militants fighting under the banner of al-Qaida reportedly have taken effective control of Fallujah and secured large parts of Ramadi, the provinces most important cities. Government forces and allied tribal groups have vowed to retake the area. The losses have undermined Prime Minister Nouri al-Malikis Shiite-led government in Baghdad. It has struggled to maintain security since the last U.S. troops were withdrawn in December 2011 after al-Maliki and the White House failed to reach agreement on a continuing U.S. presence. Kerry said Washington was concerned about the resurgence of al-Qaida in Anbar, where U.S. troops saw some of the bloodiest combat during the insurgency that erupted after the American invasion of Iraq in 2003. We are not, obviously, contemplating returning, Kerry told reporters in Je-
JERUSALEM Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday that five months of intensive U.S.brokered peace talks have made progress toward resolving the hardest issues dividing Israel and the Palestinians but that a deal could slip through his hands. The path is becoming clearer. The puzzle is becoming more defined. And it is becoming much more apparent to everybody what the remaining tough choices are, Kerry said after three days of shuttle diplomacy in Israel and the West Bank. The Washington Post people they serve, the statement said. Iraqi military leaders said Sunday they aim to remove the militants within three days, working with progovernment Sunni tribes in the region. They said the military is providing aerial cover and ground logistics. Two Republican critics of the decision to withdraw all U.S. troops, Sen. John McCain of Arizona and Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, said in a statement that the fighting was predictable because al-Qaida was rushing to fill a security vacuum in Iraq left by the U.S. departure. While many Iraqis are responsible for this strategic disaster, the administration cannot escape its share of the blame, they said. rserrano@tribune.com

rusalem, where he is on a Middle East visit. Were not contemplating putting boots on the ground. This is their fight, but were going to help them in their fight. Kerry said the Obama administration plans to be in close contact with all of the Iraq political leaders, including tribal allies from Anbar. We are going to do everything that is possible to help them. He did not say what Washington plans to do, and relations with al-Malikis
government are tense. The Pentagon has sent Baghdad dozens of Hellfire air-to-ground missiles and small, unarmed surveillance drone aircraft in recent weeks, but administration officials said last week that they dont plan any further military aid. Kerry said the growing violence in Anbar, which borders Syria, had ominous implications for countries across the region. This is a fight that is bigger than just Iraq. The
fighting in Syria is part of what is unleashing this instability in the rest of the region, he said. Violence hit Baghdad on Sunday. Three car bombs and two roadside bombs exploded in several areas, killing at least 18 and wounding dozens. In Washington, Tony Blinken, the deputy national security adviser, spoke by phone with Iraqi National Security Adviser Faleh al-Fayyad. Blinken expressed U.S. support for the
Iraqi forces fighting militants from the al-Qaidabacked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, according to a statement issued by the White House. Senior officials from the White House, the State Department, and the United States Embassy in Baghdad remain in regular communication with a wide range of Iraqi officials to support ongoing efforts against ISIL, and to encourage coordination between Iraqi Security Forces and the

Economic issues on agenda as Obama returns to D.C.
By Philip Rucker and Scott Wilson
The Washington Post
President Barack Obama returned to Washington on Sunday after two weeks in Hawaii and now must begin the difficult task of rebooting his second-term agenda and developing a theme of economic fairness that Democrats can run on in this years midterm campaigns. Obama is looking to the Jan. 28 State of the Union address to unveil specific proposals addressing income inequality, including expanding the federal minimum wage to $10 or higher, which administration officials said they think could garner some bipartisan support on Capitol Hill and be successful campaign issues for Democrats in Novembers elections. With millions of Americans now receiving health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act, Obama will try to shift the publics attention from the disastrous rollout of the Health-
Care.gov website to the real-life benefits of the law. The National Security Agencys surveillance programs occupied much of Obamas attention during his Hawaii respite, as Obama read briefing memos and pondered possible reforms while relaxing at his rented beachfront home, one administration official said. Obama intends to announce changes to the controversial spying programs in mid-January. First, though, the president will use the coming days to complete unfinished business from last year, starting with securing Senate confirmation of Janet Yellen, his pick to lead the Federal Reserve. Obama also will step up pressure on Congress to pass an emergency extension of unemployment insurance for the 1.3 million Americans who lost benefits last month. Denying families that security is just plain cruel, Obama said in his weekly radio address released Saturday. Were a better country than that. We dont abandon our fellow Americans when times get tough we keep the faith with them until they start that new job.
Long-term jobless aid debated

WASHINGTON With Congress returning to work this week after the holiday recess, lawmakers took to the airwaves Sunday to argue whether to extend longterm unemployment benefits for 1.3 million Americans who were cut off last month. Democrats urged their GOP counterparts to join in granting emergency unemployment benefits. Republicans said they want to explore other options. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, speaking on CBS Face the Nation, said Senate Democrats plan to focus on Americas middle class this year by helping laid-off Americans. A bipartisan proposal by Sens. Jack Reed, D-R.I., and Dean Heller, R-Nev., would give the unemployed a three-month extension in benefits. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., argued that extending benefits might discourage some from looking for work. The longer you have it, it provides some disincentive to work, he said on ABCs This Week.

President Barack Obama talks with his daughters Sasha, center, and Malia as they arrive Sunday at the White House in Washington, after two weeks of vacation in Hawaii.
Brendan Buck, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, said: If Democrats can produce a plan that is fiscally responsible, as well as does something to actually create jobs, the House will give it proper consideration. Obama also is preparing a big push to expand the minimum wage. In the 2013 State of the Union, he proposed raising it to $9 per hour, but he has since backed a proposal by Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., to raise it to $10.10 per hour.
An administration official said the president is open to other proposals and is considering announcing one of his own. William Galston, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution who was a domestic policy adviser in the Clinton administration, said unemployment insurance and the minimum wage could become early wins for Obama after a difficult 2013. Aides to the president expressed optimism that a bipartisan budget deal
struck last month to avert a government shutdown for two years will pave the way on many issues. At the beginning of the new year, were hopeful that Congress can capitalize on the bipartisan momentum generated by last years small budget deal and make progress on other economic priorities, including extending employment benefits, said White House spokesman Josh Earnest.

EPA aims to put a damper on wood stoves

WASHINGTON The Environmental Protection Agency is moving to curb emissions of particles and other gases from residential wood stoves and other wood-fired heaters built in 2015 or later, in an effort to combat pollutants that can present a significant health hazard in parts of the country. The new rules proposed last week would require manufacturers of wood stoves, wood pellet stoves, forced-air wood furnaces, wood boilers, fireplace inserts and masonry heaters to build a generation of devices that burn 80 percent more cleanly than current models. The rules would go into effect in 2015 and be phased in over five years, though the EPA is asking whether they should be phased in over eight years instead. The new rules do not apply to wood heaters already in use or to residential fireplaces, backyard fire containers or fire pits used by campers and beachgoers. Nor do they apply to smokers, wood-fired barbecues or pizza ovens. Particulate matter is a big health issue, said Alison Davis, an EPA senior adviser. It has been linked to heart attacks and strokes and can aggravate asthma. Studies have linked it to premature death among people who suffer from heart and lung disease, Davis said. Other pollutants in wood smoke include carbon monoxide and organic compounds. About 11.5 million U.S. homes use wood for heat, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The EPA estimates that 85,695 wood stoves will be manufactured and sold in 2015. Lenny Bernstein, The Washington Post

FOCUS INSIDE THE CIA
After nearly 50 years driving for the CIA, Hat Man hangs up his keys without sharing most of what he heard
By Ian Shapira
The Washington Post
Keeping a lid on secrets
WASHINGTON The way Mr. Thornton tells the story, it was shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks, and he suddenly needed to drive the CIAs No. 3 official to a secret location three hours away in Virginia. His boss, A.B. Buzzy Krongard, was running late, so Mr. Thornton, a fedora-wearing septuagenarian who everyone, even agency directors, called by that honorific, would need to use his lead foot. It was at one of these undercover places, and we were doing 80 miles per hour. One time, I hit 100. But I got Buzzy there 15 minutes before the meeting, said Mr. Thornton, 79, who insists he cannot remember much else about the drive and why the meeting was so urgent. All I knew about it was that it was a secret place, he said. Thats all I can say. Mr. Thornton never ran spies. (So he says.) He never interrogated a terrorist suspect. But in his nearly 45 years at the CIA, a tenure that ended last month when he retired, Mr. Thornton worked as an agency driver and became a fixture at the CIAs headquarters in Langley, Va. In his first two-plus decades, he operated agency shuttle buses, picking up CIA employees around Washington and dropping them off at government facilities. And in the past 17 or so, he chauffeured the agencys executive director ExDir, in agency parlance as well as other agency officers. Up until late December, Mr. Thornton occupied an unsung role in the national security establishment. Mr. Thornton was an unarmed CIA driver with top-secret security clearance who every day happened to hold in his hands the lives of elite spymasters his principals, as he dutifully calls them. What did Mr. Thornton overhear in all those trips with the CIAs senior executives? You learn not to be too curious, he said, with a slight grin. I saw history change all the time, directors and executive directors come in and leave. I was there when things happened, he said. But you couldnt go up and down the street saying you were there. I know it. The people I was hauling know it. At Langley, Mr. Thornton walked the agencys seventh floor of senior executives, popping into offices, Bernard Thornton clad in Burberry or Joseph Abboud suits and red or brown bowlers or fedoras. On his breaks, he routinely could be found in one of the back tables at the agencys Starbucks, chatting with fellow drivers. (Yes, the CIA has, among other chain eateries, a Starbucks, replete with Aimee Mann music and highly vetted baristas.) Those who didnt know him by name simply called him The Hat Man. In his nearly half-century at the CIA, Mr. Thornton witnessed his employer generate headlines frequently. Some of the people responsible for those headlines were the very people he was driving around.

Mr. Thornton, 79, as he was known at the CIA, retired last month after almost 45 years of driving for the agency. He started working at the CIA on June 8, 1969, and became one of the longest-serving employees at the agency. He had top-secret security clearance.

Bernard Thornton received numerous certificates during his nearly 45 years at the CIA, including this one for 40 years of service.
Some of the stories hit close: One of his former principals, Kyle Dusty Foggo, pleaded guilty in 2008 in a federal corruption case for steering agency contracts to a friend. Some people have said to me, Well, you were hauling Dusty around, and he was wheeling and dealing, Mr. Thornton said. I just said I was the driver. I didnt have the slightest idea what was going on. Foggo, who declined to be interviewed, said in an email: Mr Thornton, besides being the best-dressed person in the agency, was a man whose kindness, humility and humanity for others often made me wish I was working for him. Mr. Thornton said one event stayed with him more than others: in January 1993, when a Pakistani immigrant shot and killed two agency employees at a red light outside the headquarters. I had stopped at a McDonalds and was on the way back to headquarters. I was in the fourth car behind the guys that got shot, Mr. Thornton said. The shooter came down the line and was shooting at people. And then he jumped in a car, and they didnt know where he went. I was scared. Other memories are more comical. Once, Mr. Thornton recalls, he had to pick up Krongard at a government facility in Northern Virginia, and suddenly, George Tenet, then the agencys director, hopped in the back of his car, ditching his armed security. Tenet just said something like, Lets go! Put the pedal to the metal! Mr.

Thornton said, laughing. If Mr. Thornton overheard anything juicy from his principals, the talk likely centered on who was getting which job. There could be discussion that you were going to promote Joe to Johns job, Krongard said. In the agency, thats worth its weight in gold, rather than whether were going to run a coup in some country because thats business as usual and wont affect anyone. One recent morning, Mr. Thornton sat down for his Starbucks routine and was joined by his ponytailed colleague Bruce, who drives the agencys general counsel. (The agency asked The Washington Post not to reveal Bruces last name because he still works there.) It was about 9 a.m., and Mr. Thornton had just returned from ferrying an agency employee back and forth to the Pentagon. Suddenly, they saw a person sit down
next to them carrying a bag with a lock on it. Sometimes, you see a guy. He looks like a real nerd! Then you see a lock bag and you wonder, whats in there? Bruce said, laughing. Thats small fry. I do the big guys. But if that bag gets out from you, then you are done, Mr. Thornton said, seriously. Let me tell you. You are done. Like other drivers, Bruce views Mr. Thornton as a father figure. At some point after Bruce was hired several years ago, Mr. Thornton pulled him aside. He shut the office door. He laid down rules. He said, Come to work on time. Wear a tie. Get your shoes shined. Mind your business, Bruce said. Some of those things I tell my kids. The drivers, after all, undergo polygraphs, which Mr. Thornton rarely minded. They strap you in and put all this junk on you, he said, with a chuckle.
domestic worker and farmer. He and his twin sister were the first in their family to earn a high school diploma, graduating in the early 1950s from the all-black Douglass High School in Leesburg. His first job: working as a janitor at Melpar, an engineering government contractor. Then, he got hired as a messenger at the Institute for Defense Analyses, a nonprofit corporation that operates federally funded research centers for the government. In that job, he often traveled to the CIA to pick up library books, he said. On one of his CIA trips, he learned the agency was hiring drivers, for better pay. He applied and got the job. On June 8, 1969, when Richard Helms was director, Mr. Thornton began his CIA marathon and became one of the longest-serving employees at the agency. He was one of a small number of black employees at the agency during his first several years on the job. Sometimes, he said, it felt as though you drove a car, you moved furniture or worked in the mailroom, those were the only jobs you could get as a black person there. Still, Mr. Thornton said he always felt embraced by his supervisors and colleagues. The first No. 3 official whom Mr. Thornton drove around was Nora Slatkin, the first woman in the agencys history to hold that position. When she interviewed him to be her driver, Mr. Thornton said she specifically told him she didnt like how her last driver got out of the car on the side of the road to give her privacy when she spoke on the phone. She said she needed to trust me, he said. She was busy and she had to be where she needed to be. Other top agency bosses say Mr. Thornton knew exactly the tone to set, especially on solemn occasions. Michael Morell, the former acting director, remembers that Mr. Thornton drove him and his wife to a funeral wake for Rachel Dean, a CIA support officer from Virginia killed in 2006 in a traffic accident in Kazakhstan. The wake was a couple hours outside Washington, it was raining very hard, the highway was filled with cars, Morell recalled. Not easy driving. But he got us there on time. He knew the significance of where he was taking us. V. Sue Bromley, the agencys No. 3 official until last year, said she most remembers Mr. Thornton driving her to Dover Air Base in Delaware to watch the remains of fallen officers come home. He knew it was hard. He knew when or if you wanted to talk. And if you wanted to say how it had gone, hed listen, Bromley said. He was my safe harbor. Mr. Thornton said hell never forget the time in 2012 when Bromley brought him into her office. His son had just died of a heart attack the third of his four children to die. She closed her office down and all the secretaries left, Mr. Thornton said, his eyes watering. She said how bad she felt. It was good for me to talk to her, and good for her. Now, Mr. Thornton is spending more time with his second wife, Dianne Thornton, a retired school principal. No more 3:30 a.m. wake-up times. No more 5 a.m. arrival times. No more 12- or 13-hour days. No more being on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Now its time for vacations in Florida or overseas. To this day, Dianne doesnt question exactly what her husband did for the CIA. Was he more than a just driver perhaps a covert operative? At that question, his wife uttered a word not even people at the agency use. That, she said, is not my Bernard.

Opposition groups in Syria doing battle with each other

By Nabih Bulos
Special for Tribune Newspapers
AMMAN, Jordan Infighting among Islamist anti-government groups in northern Syria continued for a third day Sunday, as more moderate rebel factions engaged in a largescale rout of an extremist group affiliated with alQaida. Jaysh Al-Mujahideen, a new coalition of ostensibly moderate Islamist groups, as well as factions affiliated with the Western-backed Free Syrian Army and the Islamic Front, consolidated their gains against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, sometimes called the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, in what activists hailed as a second revolution. The rebels have achieved tremendous progress against ISIS in all the points of conflict, said Abu Bakr, a pro-opposition journalist for the Shaam News Network in Raqqa, referring to areas around the cities of Idlib and Aleppo. Another activist, who goes by the name Mohandess Abu Hamzeh, said
many ISIS facilities had been handed over to AlNusra Front, another alQaida-affiliated group viewed as more moderate. Although ISIS has suffered defeats and defections, its fighters were reported to be moving toward the vital Bab al-Salamah crossing to Turkey from Syria so as to take control of it, according to the Facebook page of Aleppo Pulse, an opposition news site. The Turkish government, alarmed over the latest fighting near its border, closed the crossing. ISIS has antagonized local populations, imprisoning activists critical of the groups methods as well as attacking other anti-government factions in a bid to consolidate its hold over northern Syria. ISIS pullout from some of its strongholds has affected the battleground in the north, where government forces took advantage by launching an offensive near Aleppo, Idlib and Maaret al-Numan. Aleppo had been the target of a daily barrel bomb campaign that left 517 people dead, according
to the pro-opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The fighting comes in the run-up to the much delayed Geneva 2 peace conference, scheduled for Jan. 22 but expected to be postponed again. The U.S.and Russian-backed conference is meant to bring Syrian President Bashar Assads representatives together with armed opposition rebels for the first time since the conflict began almost three years ago. It will also bring together many of the countries that have had in a hand in the conflict. Iran, seen as the governments main backer along with Russia, has faced stiff opposition to participation in the talks. Yet, Secretary of State John Kerry, at a news conference in Jerusalem, raised the possibility of an Iranian role. Now could they contribute from the sidelines? Are there ways for them, conceivably, to weigh in? Can their mission that is already in Geneva be there in order to help the process? It may be that there are ways that could happen, Kerry said.

Cruelest temperatures in years pummel Midwest

School districts cancel Monday classes as life-threatening cold sweeps into region
By Matt Pearce
Tribune Newspapers
The coldest weather in two decades began to settle over the Midwest on Sunday, prompting officials to warn of life-threatening cold that sent thermometers plunging and Americans scurrying indoors. Schools canceled Monday classes because of the subzero cold, with some parts of Minnesota expecting overnight lows below minus 30. That didnt count the wind chill, which makes the cold even more dangerous. The National Weather Service said in a statement that wind chills in some places could reach minus 65 temperatures at which exposed skin will get frostbitten within 10 minutes. Right now, in the Twin Cities, in Minneapolis, its11 below zero, and its pretty windy out there the wind chill is 31 below zero, National Weather Service
meteorologist Shawn DeVinny said Sunday night, adding, and were pretty much the warmest spot around in Minnesota. Wind chill warnings were in effect from Montana to Appalachia. Farther south, overnight temperatures were expected to reach minus 7 in Kansas City, Mo.; minus 10 in Des Moines, Iowa; minus 5 in Indianapolis; and minus 4 in St. Louis. In Lansing, Mich., the overnight low was expected to hit a comparatively balmy 6 degrees. But state employees were told to stay home Monday because of the cold. The ultrafrigid weather was blamed on a polar vortex that brought a mass of icy air down to the Midwest from its typical place over northern Canada. Were comparing this to a cold outbreak that happened in 1996, DeVinny said.
But that couldnt deter determined football fans. In Green Bay, Wis., where the Packers faced the San Francisco 49ers in an NFL playoff game, fans braved temperatures so cold that beer froze, leading some tailgaters to hold their beverages over their grills to keep the drinks liquid. The game went on in the bitter cold, and the 49ers beat the Packers, 23-20. Cold wasnt the only concern. Much of Indiana was under a blizzard warning Sunday evening as a powerful storm front swept along the Ohio River. Some areas, including St. Louis, received up to a foot of snow. Treacherous weather also imperiled air travel. In New York, a Delta Air Lines flight with 35 people aboard skidded off an icy runway after landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport. No injuries were reported, but officials closed the airport for about two hours. mpearce@tribune.com

Sex assault claim takes emotional toll

Airman: Life got worse after report against superior
Tribune Newspapers
By David S. Cloud
TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. Shortly after he arrived at Ramstein Air Base in Germany in March 2012, Air Force security guard Trent Smith was at an off-base apartment when, he says, a male sergeant touched him and pressed him to go into the bedroom for sex. I said, No, I dont want to spend the night, Smith recalled. But Smith, 20, says he felt he had no choice. I went along with it. For Smith, the encounter, which he reported up the chain of command three days later, began an emotional ordeal. As the months passed, his doctors say, the airman suffered bouts of anger, guilt and depression so severe that he contemplated suicide several times. Smiths attempts to get help only worsened his troubles, he says. After a lengthy investigation, the military decided no crime had occurred, and it later moved to discharge Smith on medical grounds. Although members of Congress have focused their outrage on abuse of women in uniform, the Pentagon reported in May that 53 percent of the estimated 26,000 troops who were raped or forced into sex in 2012 were men. Although women are proportionally more likely to be the victim of a sexual assault the Defense Department estimates that 6.1 percent of women and 1.2 percent of men are victims of sexual assaults the fact that men so vastly outnumber women in the military means the problem affects more men than women. The Pentagons most recent estimates are based on a confidential survey of service members. Smith was among those who did file an official report. After a six-month criminal investigation, Brig. Gen. Charles Hyde, then commander of the 86th Airlift Wing at Ramstein, decided the sex was consensual, according to case records. The sergeant was admonished for an unprofessional relationship
A male sergeant at Ramstein Air Base in Germany was investigated after being accused of sexual assault in 2012.
with a lower-ranking airman, the lightest punishment possible. Tribune Newspapers is not naming the sergeant because he was not charged. He declined an interview request through a base spokesman at Ramstein. The spokesman, Maj. Tony Wickman, said the sergeant was considered an above-average airman. During the investigation, Smith revealed he was bisexual. He said other security guards mocked him for being a snitch and used an anti-gay epithet, according to his Air Force medical records. After Smith was transferred to Travis in October 2012, an Air Force psychologist recommended his discharge from the service. She said a personality disorder made his traumatic stress untreatable. His condition is so severe it is not conducive with continued military service, the psychologist, Capt. Andrea Graves, and her supervisors at the base mental health clinic wrote in a May memo. It called him depressive, passive-aggressive and odd, peculiar, paranoid and extremely guarded.
Many members of the military with post-traumatic stress disorder are allowed to remain on active duty if their condition can be treated with counseling or medication. Smiths doctors said he was different because the personality disorder they found meant his PTSD could not be treated. Smith disputes the diagnosis, and two psychiatrists hired by his lawyers say he does not have a personality disorder. He contends that he is being cast off by the Air Force despite exemplary fitness reports from his superiors at the Travis chapel, where he had been assigned since March. Im willing to do whatever I need to do to stay in the Air Force, and they dont care, said Smith, who is appealing the discharge order. His problems are rooted in another traumatic episode. Growing up in Tigard, Ore., just outside Portland, he was sexually abused at age 12 by a male teenager, he says. But Smith got good grades in high school, played jazz trumpet and made the basketball and track
the reason I froze and went along. Smith initially reported the incident without naming the sergeant, an option permitted in the military for victims of alleged sexual assaults who want to receive counseling but not start a formal investigation. He later changed his mind and filed a formal complaint, launching the criminal case, two months later after a friend told him she had heard the same sergeant had been involved in a similar incident with another airman. The alleged victim later denied to investigators that any wrongdoing had occurred. Smiths Air Force medical records show he was considered a suicide risk after he said, I might as well kill myself. Smith insisted he was only joking, but when Air Force officials checked his computer, they found online searches on overdosing on cold medicine. He said they were random searches. After he was transferred to Travis to be closer to his family, he was assigned to work in the base chapel. He assisted with services RALPH ORLOWSKI/GETTY PHOTO 2007 and briefed new arrivals about the chaplains office. In a memo in May that recommended against his discharge, Col. Robert Cannon, the wing chaplain at Travis, praised Smith as an outstanding airman who embodies the Air Force core values. But Smiths assignment at the chapel was temporary, and his commander, Lt. Col. Enrico Venditti, turned down his request to be trained for a permanent assignment because he had not yet served two years, as the rules PHOTO BY DERRICK SCHWIETERS require.

Debate mounts over punishing Snowden for NSA leaks

WASHINGTON The debate over the fate of former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden intensified Sunday with conservative Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., calling for a light prison term as punishment for the disclosure of information on government surveillance programs. Paul said on ABCs This Week that Snowden does not deserve the death penalty or life in prison for the leaks, which have rattled the U.S. intelligence community, not to mention an American public that had been unaware of the extent of NSA data collection. Instead, Paul spoke of some penalty of a few years in prison if Snowden were to return to the United States from Russia, where he is living, to face trial. Paul, a freshman senator and a tea party favorite, made his remarks a few days after a New York Times editorial said Snowden had done the United States a great service in divulging details of NSA surveillance. But former Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Sunday she opposes clemency for Snowden. Napolitano told NBCs Meet the Press that Snowden should stand trial in the United States. Snowden has exacted quite a bit of damage and did it in a way that violated the law, Napolitano said. Sen. Charles Schumer, the thirdranking Democrat in the Senate, also said on ABC that Snowden should return to stand trial but that the United States should not offer a plea bargain to him. Schumer said a trial could help clarify several issues, including whether the vast amounts of data being collected by the NSA help the United States root out terrorists and how much damage Snowdens leaks have done to American intelligence agents. Last month, a federal judge criticized the NSAs metadata counterterrorism program, saying he could not imagine a more indiscriminate and arbitrary invasion. Last week, the Obama administration appealed that courts ruling. Reuters

U.N. struggles in Africa peace effort

The Washington Post
Nearly 200,000 people have been displaced from conflict in South Sudan, with some fleeing to U.N. encampments.
By Sudarsan Raghavan
NAIROBI, Kenya The United Nations has dispatched a record number of peacekeepers in Africa in recent years, deploying soldiers to trouble spots such as the Central African Republic and South Sudan. Yet the blue helmets and thousands of other soldiers sent by African regional groups have failed to prevent fresh spasms of violence. The peacekeeping forces have cost billions of dollars, paid by the United States and European nations. But they have been hobbled by weak mandates and a shortage of manpower and equipment. Some critics say Washington, its allies and U.N. officials are at fault in the peacekeeping failures, for not following through with enough political pressure to prevent crises. The political and diplomatic elements of the international response to most Africa conflicts have been slow and ineffective, said John Prendergast, a longtime Sudan and South Sudan activist with the Enough Project, a human rights group. In South Sudan, a power struggle that U.S. and U.N. officials were aware of for more than a year has sparked an ethnic and political conflict that has killed
hundreds, raising fears of a potential civil war. The warring sides held their first round of peace talks last week in neighboring Ethiopia, but the conflict showed no signs of abating. The State Department evacuated more of its embassy staff from the South Sudanese capital, Juba. The rebel forces, which recently seized the strategic town of Bor, remain in a standoff with government troops, raising concerns that battles could flare up at any moment. Nearly 200,000 people have been displaced by the fighting. Frustration with the peacekeepers is rife. Ibrahim Muhammed, 30, fled the volatile Sudanese region of Darfur a year ago and arrived in South Sudan, searching for a better future. He languishes inside a U.N. peacekeeping base in the war-ravaged South Sudanese town of Malakal, living in a tent made of blankets. The U.N. peacekeepers have not been able to stop the violence in Darfur, and so I came here, said Muhammed, a shopkeeper. But in South Sudan now, the situation is similar to Darfur. It is tribe against tribe. The peacekeepers wont be able to stop the attacks. Toby Lanzer, a senior United
Nations official in South Sudan, conceded that there are limitations to what peacekeeping forces are able to accomplish in trouble spots. In many situations, including South Sudan and the Central African Republic, U.N. and African forces lack resources and a sufficient number of soldiers, he said. There are more U.N. peacekeepers in Africa than at any time in history about twice as many as in the early 1990s. U.N. forces have often been limited by mandates that allow them to fight only in self-defense. More than two years ago, the U.N. mission in South Sudan was authorized to have up to 7,500 military personnel and police. But it was unable to stop the ethnic and political bloodletting that had been occurring since the country won independence from Sudan in 2011. In January 2012, the U.N. mission was criticized by victims and community leaders for doing little to stop a wave of tribal killings in Jonglei state, the same region that is now a battle zone. It was only after violence quickly spread across South Sudan in mid-December that the U.N. Security Council unanimously voted to nearly double the force to more than 14,000. But the peacekeepers man-
date is framed in terms of development, as if the problems of South Sudan were merely due to the lack of material aid, as opposed to rooted in deeper conflicts, said J. Peter Pham, executive director of the Atlantic Councils Africa Center. While one has to be realistic and acknowledge that the U.N. and the African Union are not panaceas and not every conflict can be foreseen, much less prevented one should also ask what the purpose of deploying some 7,000 troops from more than 60 countries to South Sudan at the cost of close to $1 billion a year is, if they are not keeping the peace, Pham said. But others say that if the peacekeepers were not deployed, there would have been more chaos and deaths in South Sudan, the Central African Republic and other nations where poverty, poor governance and corruption have fueled violence. I think one can legitimately criticize peacekeeping operations for not doing enough, said EJ Hogendoorn, deputy Africa director for the International Crisis Group, an independent organization that tries to prevent conflicts. But without the physical intervention of either U.N. or African peacekeepers, those conflicts could oftentimes have escalated much more.

ROME Pope Francis appears to have taken another step toward making the Roman Catholic Church more inclusive by telling priests to rethink how they reach out to the children of gay and separated parents. But the Vatican warned Sunday against reading too much into the remarks. How can we proclaim Christ to a generation that is changing? We must be careful not to administer a vaccine against faith to them, Francis told about 120 leaders of male religious orders in a meeting at the Vatican. I remember the case of a very sad little girl who finally confided to her teacher the reason for her state of mind: My mothers girlfriend doesnt like me, Francis said. Francis remarks, which he made Nov. 29, were reported Friday by La Civilta Cattolica, an Italian Jesuit magazine. His remarks were interpreted by some commentators as an opening to same-sex unions in Italy. But the Vatican indicated that Francis comments were more about reaching out to society than giving it a stamp of approval. Speaking of an opening to gay couples is paradoxical because the popes speech was totally general and because even the small concrete example given by the pope alludes directly to the suffering of the children, Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi told Vatican Radio. Also Sunday, Francis announced plans for a spring visit to the Middle East. He said he would visit Amman, Jordan, Bethlehem and Jerusalem from May 24-26.

Thousands of African migrants, many holding banners demanding freedom for compatriots jailed by Israel, protested Sunday in a Tel Aviv square against a new, open-ended detention law that allows migrants to be sent to a desert prison. A statement from the U.N. refugee agency charged that Israels incarceration of migrants causes hardship and suffering. Human rights groups say more than 300 people have been arrested since the law was passed by parliament last month.

Should they be banned in public?
The buzz about e-cigarettes
Cigarettes are awful for your health. Thats undisputed. But the debate over the electronic alternative known as e-cigarettes is just lighting up. Mayor Rahm Emanuel supports a ban on the use of e-cigarettes wherever smoking is prohibited, but the City Council has shown little enthusiasm for that. E-cigarettes are battery-powered devices that heat up liquid mixtures of nicotine and other ingredients to create vapor. An e-cig smoker inhales then exhales, emitting a puff of white mist. Unlike traditional smokes, e-cigarettes do not contain tobacco or many of the other harmful chemicals proven to cause cancer. Theres debate, but scant evidence, that e-cigarettes pose a health risk. The main benefit of e-cigarettes is to give smokers an alternative, a way to kick the tobacco habit. Users can vary the levels of nicotine and gradually wean themselves off their addiction. A 2009 Food and Drug Administration study tested two popular brands of ecigarettes and did find carcinogens and other toxic chemicals in more than half of the samples. One sample had traces of diethylene glycol, an ingredient in antifreeze. Another study conducted by the Drexel University School of Public Health and funded by the Consumer Advocates for Smoke-Free Alternatives Association, a group that advocates for e-cigarettes and smokeless tobacco found e-cigarettes pose no health threat for users or bystanders under generally accepted exposure limits. No study has provided a definitive answer, but all point to e-cigs as safer than regular cigs. The FDA is still trying to figure out how to classify e-cigarettes. In September, attorneys general from about 40 states signed on to a letter urging the FDA to regulate e-cigarettes as a tobacco product. That would allow the agency to restrict advertising, ingredients and sales to mi-

nors. The FDA has drafted a proposed rule and sent it to the Office of Management and Budgets Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs for review, but has not publicly released it. Health effects aside, a major concern about e-cigarettes is their appeal to young people. Smoking an e-cigarette looks no different than smoking a regular cigarette. That cool factor is still there. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of middle school and high school students who use e-cigarettes doubled between 2011 and 2012. An Illinois law banning the sale of e-cigarettes to minors took effect on Jan. 1. Chicagos proposed ordinance, introduced by Ald. Will Burns, 4th, and Ald. Edward Burke, 14th, is promoted as an initiative to protect children, but it would have a much wider impact. E-cigarettes
would be banned from all smoke-free environments, and stores would be required to sell them behind the counter. That ordinance has been stalled, but an ordinance that would prohibit the sale of menthol-flavored tobacco products within 500 feet of Chicago schools has been approved by two council committees. The new state law and the city ordinance that won favor in committee focus on restricting this nicotine-delivery device to kids. And that, for now, seems like the right approach. Illinois and other states had good cause to ban tobacco smoking in public places second-hand smoke poses a known health risk. E-cigs may be a nuisance to people who see others using them, but were not talking about secondhand smoke. The absence of a broad government ban doesnt mean that people puffing e-cigs
will start to show up everywhere. Many businesses and agencies have set their own bans. You cant smoke e-cigarettes at the United Center, on CTA buses or trains or in Starbucks stores. Nearly all major U.S. airlines prohibit e-cigarettes on their planes. Its our sense that most e-cig users think twice about where they puff away because of public repulsion toward smoking. New York City and a small handful of states have included e-cigarettes in their indoor smoking regulations. The Evanston City Council voted to ban e-cigarettes in its smoke-free zones. Theres likely to be a renewed push in Chicago, and perhaps in the Illinois legislature, for a broad ban on e-cigarette use in public. Lets learn more; theres no reason to rush. Keep the focus on the prohibition of sale to minors.
Dump the ethanol mandate

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has proposed reducing the amount of ethanol and other biofuels that must be mixed into the nations fuel supply. Fuel blenders would be required to use 15.21 billion gallons of biofuel in 2014, down from 16.55 billion gallons last year. Thats a good sign that the EPA finally recognizes the federal mandate for ethanol is creating economic distortions. But the mandate should be cut much more significantly, with the ultimate goal that it be eliminated. The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 set benchmarks for a huge increase in the production of domestic biofuels, supposedly to boost national security and help the environment by reducing U.S. consumption of foreign oil. Ethanol does reduce oil consumption. But most of the ethanol in the U.S. is made from corn. Nearly 40 percent of the U.S. corn crop goes to ethanol. Corn is the No. 1 source of livestock feed. When so much corn is diverted into making ethanol, feed prices go up. Americans subsidize ethanol through tax breaks, and then they pay for ethanol again through higher food prices. The 2007 law encouraged research and development of biofuels made from nonedible products: grass clippings, wood chips and other forms of cellulose. The idea was to jump-start a new, environmentally friendly motor-fuel industry that did not rely on foodstuffs. That, so far, has been all promise. No cellulosic biofuel is produced on a commercial scale yet. In the meantime, conservation efforts and a tough economy have curbed the nations demand for fuel. North American oil and gas production has skyrocketed, thanks to new extraction techniques. So the demand for ethanol has been far less than expected. That has put fuel blenders in a bind. Federal law requires them to mix their gasoline with huge, fixed amounts of biofuels. The standard mix is nine parts gas to one part, or 10 percent, ethanol. Every major auto manufacturer approves the use of 10 percent ethanol. At that level, ethanol is safe for gasoline-powered cars. The problem is that from a practical standpoint, blenders have hit what they refer to as a wall. Cutting their gas with 10 percent ethanol doesnt use enough ethanol to meet the mandate. The biofuel lobby wants to bump up the amount of ethanol to 15 percent or more. Auto manufacturers warn that such highly diluted fuel could damage some cars. Gas stations have no reason to offer blends with more ethanol, since consumer demand for that is practically nil. That hasnt stopped the corn growers and other pro-ethanol groups from pressing for the government to require the use of still more ethanol, which in turn would use up more corn. None of this makes economic sense. Its time to put a stop to the mandate. The law has succeeded in pumping up profits for corn-ethanol producers and their suppliers, but it has failed to serve the public interest. It hasnt launched a new cellulosic-ethanol industry. It hasnt made the nation less vulnerable to the risks of Middle Eastern oil supplies domestic production and reduced consumption have had a far more dramatic impact on that count. Lets be done with it. Get the government out of the business of mixing your gas.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
POLITICAL CARTOON
The attacks (in Volgograd) show that Russians cannot rely on the protection of their government. In 1999, while still prime minister, (Vladimir) Putin vowed to destroy the terrorists in their outhouses. In subsequent years, he has often issued bloodcurdling threats but the number of terrorist attacks has steadily increased. By 2010, the number of attacks was seven times higher than in 1999. There is also a distressing tendency for attacks to be committed by persons who were either being watched or were just released from custody. The most benign explanation is that the authorities have agents in terrorist groups and use them to collect information but lose control over them. A more sinister explanation is that some of the attacks are instigated by the authorities themselves. David Satter, National Review Online Perhaps the dominant factor driving marijuana legalization is the desperate search for new revenue by cash-strapped state governments. The opportunity to tax marijuana is potentially a significant source of new revenue, as well as a way of cutting spending on prisons and law enforcement. The California Secretary of States office, for example, estimates savings in the hundreds of millions of dollars from both factors. It is not surprising that revenue considerations should be critical in the marijuana legalization movement. That was previously the reason why cigarettes were not banned until the 1920s despite a strong nationwide movement to do so. In the wake of Prohibition, governments simply needed cigarette tax revenue too badly. And when Prohibition ended, the need for new revenue after the Great Depression decimated government budgets was a driving force. Bruce Bartlett, The Fiscal Times

Concealed weapons
Leaving well enough alone

Tis the season for new year resolutions, yet sometimes its better to leave well enough alone. From the Buddha to the Beatles to my old Sicilian Aunt Bessie, we have been advised many times to leave well enough alone. Wait in harmony with the world; in time there will be an answer. Let it be. Que sera sera. There are eight British researchers today who would probably agree. Now that its too late! They recently admitted they had killed the worlds oldest living animal, a 507-year-old Icelandic clam, by impatiently prying it open to determine its age. Come on guys, couldnt you have just waited a few more years? I cant speak for them, but heres what I think they might say in their own defense. Humanity is on this Earth designed to know everything we can, so the pursuit of knowledge should not be constrained. Its a good answer that plays well among fellow researchers all over the world. Still, Aunt Bessie and the others have a point. Sometimes the great quiet clams in our lives would do very nicely without our prying eyes and interfering hands. Here I think of all the schoolgirls I vigorously pursued, all the bosses I repeatedly tried to impress, all the bad deals I forced on family and friends, all in the name of knowing better. With age comes the time to ask whether some of these pursuits werent really trying to fit square pegs into round holes? Swimming upstream rather than going with the flow? Placing the Me ahead of the Mystery? You know them: the many large and little mysteries in your life, like love and faith and missions, which deserve to be embraced just as you find them without any gaggle of new resolutions. I can hear Aunt Bessie saying: Si, my bambino, si! Jack Spatafora, author of Taking A Second Look blog on ChicagoNow.com, Park Ridge

It is shameful that a major U.S. newspaper actively roots for a wellintentioned, potentially beneficial government program like the Affordable Care Act to fail.

Stop the insurance company bailout

Charles Krauthammer
WASHINGTON First order of business for the returning Congress: The No Bailout for Insurance Companies Act of 2014. Make it one line long: Sections 1341 and 1342 of the Affordable Care Act are hereby repealed. End of bill. End of bailout. End of story. Why do we need it? On Dec. 18, the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers was asked what was the Obama administrations Plan B if, because of adverse selection (enrolling too few young and healthies), the insurance companies face financial difficulty. Jason Furman wouldnt bite. Theres a Plan A, he replied. Enroll the young. But of course theres a Plan B. Its a government bailout. Administration officials cant say it for political reasons. And they dont have to say it because its already in the Affordable Care Act, buried deep. First, Section 1341, the reinsurance fund collected from insurers and self-insuring employers at a nifty $63 a head. (Who do you think the cost is passed on to?) This yields about $20 billion over three years to cover losses. Then there is Section 1342, the risk corridor provision that mandates a major taxpayer payout covering up to 80 percent of insurance-company losses. Never heard of these? Thats the beauty of passing a bill of such monstrous length. You can insert a chicken soup recipe and no one will notice. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was right: Wed have to pass the damn thing to know whats in it. Well, now we have and now we know. The whole scheme was risky enough to begin with getting enough enrollees and making sure 40 percent are young and healthy. Obamacare is already far behind its own enrollment estimates. But things have gotten worse. The administration has been changing the rules repeatedly with every scrimmage-line audible raising costs and diminishing revenue. First, it postponed the employer mandate. Then, it exempted from the individual mandate people whose policies were canceled (by Obamacare). And for those who did join the exchanges, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is strongly encouraging insurers to during the transition cover doctors and drugs not included in their clients plans. The insurers were stunned. Told to give free coverage. Deprived of their best customers. Forced to offer stripped-down catastrophic plans to over-30 clients (contrary to the law). These dictates, complained their spokesman, could destabilize the insurance market. Translation: How are we going to survive this? Shrinking revenues and rising costs could bring on the death spiral an unbalanced patient pool forcing huge premium increases (to restore revenue) that would further unbalance the patient pool as the young and healthy drop out. End result? Insolvency before which the insurance companies will pull out of Obamacare. Solution? A huge government bailout. Its Obamacares escape hatch. And surprise, surprise its already baked into the law. Which is why the GOP needs to act. Obamacare is a Rube Goldberg machine with hundreds of moving parts. Without viable insurance companies doing the work, it falls apart. No bailout, no Obamacare. Such a bill would be overwhelmingly popular because Americans hate fat-cat bailouts of any kind. Why should their tax dollars be spent not only saving giant insurers but also rescuing this unworkable, unbalanced, unstable, unpopular money-pit of a health care scheme? The GOP House should pass it and send it to Harry Reids Democratic Senate. Democrats know it could be fatal for Obamacare. The only alternative would be singlepayer. And try selling that to the country after the spectacularly incompetent launch of and subsequent widespread disaffection with mere semi-nationalization. Do you really think vulnerable Democrats up for re-election will vote for a bailout? And who better to slay Obamacare than a Democratic Senate liberalism repudiating its most important creation of the last 50 years. Want to be even bolder? Attach the anti-bailout bill to the debt ceiling. That and nothing else. Dare the president to stand up and say: Im willing to let the country default in order to preserve a massive bailout for insurance companies. In the past, Republicans made unrealistic and unpopular debtceiling demands and lost badly. They learned their lesson. Last year, Republicans presented one simple unassailable debt-ceiling demand that the Senate pass its first budget in four years. Who could argue with that? The Senate capitulated within two days. Who can argue with no bailout? Let the Senate Democrats decide support the bailout and lose the Senate. Or oppose the bailout and bury Obamacare. Happy New Year.

Pain - the red is a knee joint with painful osteo-arthritis. Arthritis causes the joint space to decrease, grinding, stiffness, decreased motion, bone spurs, swelling and a lot of pain.
Successful Treatment - Hyalgan (blue) being precisely injected directly into the knee joint using hologic digital imaging. Advaced imaging allows treatments to be as precise as possible. Hyalgan can lubricate the joint and decrease pain.
Failed Treatment - the injection (and Hyalgan) misses the joint space. Research shows this occurs up to 30% of the time without the use of hologic digital imaging to guide the injection. This is why Hyalgan may not have worked for you.

and most picky performers: the mariachis. He takes their measurements, tweaks their bow ties, hems their cuffs and stitches on their greca, or suede embroidery. They serenade him and tell him their adventures of the countless weddings and funerals theyve sung at, of the women who tempt them, of the love they
have for an art that most months hardly pays the bills. His customers are characters, with nicknames impossible to forget: El Hamburger. El Caballo. The Mule. The Beast. The Tomatillo. They call the tailor El Maestro. Clients flock to his shop in L.A.s

Boyle Heights neighborhood from Idaho, Miami, New York and New Jersey, even from England and Switzerland. They come willing to pay big, as much as $4,000, for one of his handmade suits. Most are grizzled musicians with thick mustaches and commanding voices. Others are wannabe cowboys eager to boast. And then there are the stars: Carlos Santana. Placido Domingo. The Chihuahuas of Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3. Tello, a small, reserved man, works methodically atop a stool, using a chalk pencil and an old ruler to cut patterns for each order. Hes been around so long, hes dressed three generations. First, the father, then the son, then the grandson, he said with a grin that comes easily and often. Can you imagine? Im still trying to understand how they let me into this world. His shop has become just what Tello named it: La Casa del Mariachi. When Tello was growing up in Guatemala, becoming a tailor was never part of the plan. The plan was to play soccer outside every day, all day, until the sun went down. But Tellos father, a tailor, insisted that his eldest son help in his shop, ironing and gluing buttons. He lured him with small change and promises. This will help you one day, he used to say. Youll always work in the shade and your hands will never get dirty. By the time he was 11, Tello was making pants. By 15, jackets. By 16, he could whip up a full suit. When a family friend, Antonio Rojas, visited from the United States one day, he saw the young mans work. He was impressed. He worked as a tailor in Los Angeles making mariachi suits. Come with me, he told Tello. You have it in you to be a great mariachi tailor. Year after year, Rojas visited and invited him north. But Tello was content making regular suits. Mariachis werent so common in Guatemala. He had seen a few in the plazas of the capital, but they lacked the pomp and pageantry so revered in Mexico and Los Angeles.
It wasnt until 1984, when he was 30 and still working alongside his father, that he reconsidered Rojas proposal. There was a young woman he was supposed to marry. But he had no interest in being married and needed a quick escape. You know what they say, Tello, 59, said with a laugh. The United States is the land of the desperate. Once he was in Los Angeles, Rojas took him to Boyle Heights and got him a job at Arte Charro, in a small stucco building and with a devoted mariachi clientele. There, I had to start all over again, Tello said. Different techniques, different materials and so much more detail. There were silver and gold buttons to sew and intricate designs to embroider. Accessories, too: gallon-size sombreros, snake belts, silver buckles, gun holsters, alligator boots, stirrups and bow ties. He was a quick learner and his talent showed. Six years after he arrived at Arte Charro, the owner died and the family had Tello run the whole store. He expanded, promoting the business in newspapers and magazines and taking it from four employees to 12. Requests came in from out of state, from media, from Hollywood. Each time he was interviewed for news articles and Spanish-language TV shows, he was careful to avoid saying he was Guatemalan. He worried that mariachis would turn on him if they found out he wasnt one of their own, a Mexican. One day a pretty lady with brown eyes and reddish hair walked into Arte Charro. Her name was Estela and she sold mariachi suit buttons. Tello bought a few and fell in love. Soon after they began dating, she encouraged Tello to open his own store. I thought, OK, maybe something tiny, a little place where I can rent out mariachi suits, he said. But Estela, whos now his wife, told him, No, Jorge, you have to think big. So in 2002 he signed a lease on a 3,800-square-foot space in Boyle Heights. It was in front of Mariachi Plaza, where well-dressed musi-
cians, with trumpets and guitars at the ready, hustle for singing gigs. The space felt so huge and empty, Tello said. I thought I would never fill it up. On a recent afternoon, a big barrel of a man with coifed silver hair walked into the shop. Tello couldnt believe his eyes. Lucio Prado? he said, squinting. Is that you? I made a suit for you 24 years ago. And now here you are in my shop. The two caught up like old friends. Prado, who had driven in from Idaho, started recounting his story. When he moved to Boise in the late 1970s, he said, mariachis were nonexistent. He tried to form his own group but couldnt find any Mexican musicians. So he reached out to the Boise Philharmonic and persuaded a few violin and trumpet players to join him. We called it Mariachi Sol de Acapulco, Prado, 62, said. It was me, my compadre and a whole bunch of gringos. Tello listened, wide-eyed, to every word. He took Prados measurements and put in an order to make him a jacket to be shipped to Boise. Hes well aware that over the years, customers could have taken their business elsewhere. Plenty of other tailors make mariachi and charro suits in L.A. A few times a year, during the high summer season of weddings, tailors also drive up from Tijuana. They target musicians at Mariachi Plaza, offering package deals at dirt-cheap prices. But with the savings come risks, said plaza musician Roberto Olmos. Your pants come back crooked or the fabric is falling apart, he said. El Maestro is expensive, but he does everything well. Three years ago, Olmos and 16 other mariachis lost all their suits and instruments when the home they lived in burned down. That included two custom suits Tello had made for Olmos for $800. Today, the 66-year-old cant afford much of anything in the store. Still, he wanders in all the time, to marvel at the finished pieces. Frank Leyva of Covina Hills, Calif.,
COVER STORY
likes to do the same, but he always shows up with money to spend. Over the years, the 52-year-old, who works as a city inspector so I can buy more mariachi stuff has amassed an impressive collection of custom-made garments and accessories for his avocation. When I walk into a place wearing a $1,300 suit, a $500 hat, a $70 bow tie, a $300 belt and a $500 gun holster, you know what? he said, standing straight, as if onstage. I look gooood. And the girls? he said. The girls take one look at me and they go, Oooooh. And I tell them, Breathe, honey. Breathe! His latest design, the third made by Tello, will be black with elaborate
embroidery and perhaps Swarovski crystals. He wears his outfits to perform at events and singing contests, sometimes atop his horse. He wanted to wear a mariachi suit on his wedding day many years ago, but his fiancee rebelled. So we didnt get married, he said with a laugh until 12 years later, when he agreed to wear a regular suit. Leyva comes exclusively to Tello because he considers his work the best. Every suit he makes is an art piece, he said. It represents Mexico here in L.A. Nowadays, the tailor never hides the fact that hes not Mexican. An image of a quetzal, the national bird
of Guatemala, hangs proudly in his shop. The space is packed and festive, display cases packed with merchandise Estela brings monthly from Mexico. Tello works in the front of the shop, cutting patterns, while his sister, Patricia, makes bows and manages the shops website. A few workers help in the back. Three years ago, when the economy sank, he nearly closed his doors. Today the expenses, thankfully, even out. He has no children, so when he goes, he said, his sister will probably take over. But that wont be for a while, Tello said. If God lets me, I plan to be here for a very long time. +

COMMENTARY
Rise of the Thought Leader

attention. His college application essay, I Went to Panama to Teach the Natives About Math but They Ended Up Teaching Me About Life, is widely praised by guidance counselors. On campus he finds himself enmeshed in a new social contract: Young people provide their middleaged professors with optimism and flattery, and the professors provide them with grade inflation. He is widely recognized for his concern for humanity. (He spends spring break unicycling across Thailand while reading to lepers.) Not armed with fascinating ideas but with the desire to have some, he launches off into the great struggle for attention. At first his prose is upbeat and smarmy, with a peppy faux sincerity associated with professional cheerleading. Within a few years, though, his mood has shifted from smarm to snark. There is no writer so obscure as a 26-year-old writer. So he is suddenly consumed by ambition anxiety the desperate need to prove that he is superior in sensibility to people who are superior to him in status. Soon he will be writing blog posts marked by coruscating contempt for extremely anodyne people: Kelly Clarkson: Satan or Merely His Spawn? Of course the writer in this unjustly obscure phase will develop the rabid art of being condescending from below. Of course he will confuse his verbal dexterity for moral superiority. Of course he will seek to establish his edgy in-group identity by trying to prove that he was never really that into Macklemore. Fortunately, this snarky phase doesnt last. By his late 20s, he has taken a job he detests in a consulting firm, offering his colleagues strategy memos and sexual tension. By his early 30s, his soul has been so thoroughly crushed hes incapable of thinking outside of consultantese. Its not clear our Thought Leader started out believing he would write a book on the productivity gains made possible by improved electronic medical records, but having written such a book he can now travel from medical conference to medical conference making presentations and enjoying the rewards of being TSA Pre. By now the Thought Leader uses the word space a lot as in, Earlier in my career I spent a lot of time in the abject sycophancy space, but now Im devoting more of my energies to the corporate responsibility space. The middle-aged Thought Leaders life has hit equilibrium, composed of work, children and Bikram yoga. The desire to be snarky mysteriously vanishes with the birth of the first child. His prose has never been so lacking in irony and affect, just the clean translucence of selling out. Hes succeeding. Unfortunately, the happy moment when you are getting just the right amount of attention passes, and you dont realize you were in this moment until after it is gone. The tragedy of middle-aged fame is that the fullest glare of attention comes just when a person is most acutely aware of his own mediocrity. By his late 50s, the Thought Leader is a lion of his industry, but he is bruised by snarky comments from new versions of his formerly jerkish self. Of course, this is when he utters his cries for civility and good manners, which are really just pleas for mercy to spare his tender spots. In the end, though, a lifetime of bullet points are replaced by foreboding. Toward the end of his life the Thought Leader is regularly engaging in a phenomenon known as the powerless lunch. He and another formerly prominent person gather to have a portentous conversation of no importance whatsoever. In the fading of the light, he is gravely concerned about the way everything is going to hell. Still, one rarely finds an octogenarian with status anxiety. He is beyond the battle for attention. Death approaches. Cruelly, it smells like reverence. +

ittle boys and girls in ancient Athens grew up wanting to be philosophers. In Renaissance Florence they dreamed of becoming humanists. But now a new phrase and a new intellectual paragon has emerged to command our admiration: The Thought Leader. The Thought Leader is sort of a high-flying, good-doing yacht-toyacht concept peddler. Each year, he gets to speak at the Clinton Global Initiative, where successful people gather to express compassion for those not invited. Month after month, he gets to be a discussion facilitator at think tank dinners where guests talk about what its like to live in poverty while the wait staff glides through the room thinking bitter thoughts. He doesnt have students, but he does have clients. He doesnt have dark nights of the soul, but his eyes blaze at the echo of the words breakout session. Many people wonder how they too can become Thought Leaders and what the life cycle of one looks like. In fact, the calling usually starts young. As a college student, the future Thought Leader is bathed in

The methods used to make flu vaccines are slow and sometimes unreliable, and new viruses threaten to outrun them. Can researchers find a way to stay ahead?

It had abruptly started spreading across North America in the previous month, and was beginning to appear in countries around the world.

No one knew how bad 2009 H1N1 might prove to be, but the experts did know that the virus had the capacity to be very bad. Flu pandemics had occurred three times in
PUBLIC HEALTH
the previous century, and the worst of them, the so-called Spanish Flu of 1918-19, had killed an estimated 50 million people. It, too, was an H1N1 virus. Once researchers at the CDC got hold of the 2009 H1N1 virus, they had one urgent mission: make a new vaccine. The first step was to send batches of the virus to a handful of vaccine experts like Bucher. As soon as she received her supply of 2009 H1N1, she got to work on creating a seed stock of modified viruses that could be used to produce hundreds of millions of vaccine doses. Manufacturers for the most part still make flu vaccines the way they did in World War II: in chicken eggs. Bucher had to transform the viruses, which grow very well in human airways, so that they would grow very well in eggs. Bucher and her colleagues created a new seed stock using a method more than four decades old, which she has been refining in recent years, as she has helped prepare each years seasonal flu vaccine. She and her colleagues drilled tiny holes into the eggs and injected the 2009 H1N1 virus, along with another flu strain that grows well in eggs. The two viruses made copies of themselves in the eggs, and sometimes their genes mixed together, producing hybrids. Buchers team harvested the viruses from the eggs and plucked out the best-growing hybrids, reinserting the lines into new eggs. Before long, the team had produced a hybrid that could be used to inoculate people against 2009 H1N1 and could produce 32 times more virus in eggs than the strain Bucher had received in the mail. We got this thing ready in three weeks, Bucher told me recently, with the pride of a viral gardener. It worked beautifully. But it was not until October that the first 2009 H1N1 vaccines started trickling into clinics and hospitals. Six to eight months from isolating a new flu virus to putting shots in arms is a typical schedule for a flu vaccine. Unfortunately, the virus didnt get the memo. Cases of 2009 H1N1 were already skyrocketing in the United States but the vaccine supply was less than half the projected amount. Many of the people clamoring for the vaccine couldnt get it.
Buchers daughter was one of them. She had a baby at the end of September, and that meant she was really at risk, Bucher told me. My daughter went to a vaccine site on the Upper East Side. The line went for blocks. And then she went home. Bucher was frustrated to no end that her own daughter couldnt get the vaccine she had created six months earlier, fewer than 30 miles away. I thought, This is really depressing, says Bucher.
The vaccine thus saved 200 to 500 lives. It turned out that 2009 H1N1 had little trouble spreading, but a lot of trouble killing on a massive scale. A future flu virus might have much less trouble. We have been warned.
Dodging a bullet
Fortunately, her daughter survived the pandemic, and 2009 H1N1 turned out to be a bullet dodged. In 2012, a CDC-led team of epidemiologists reviewed health records and estimated that only 284,400 people died of H1N1-related complications worldwide in the first 12 months of its wide circulation. Only 284,400 deaths may sound like a grotesque downplaying of a huge loss of life, until you consider that the 1918 pandemic killed, according to some estimates, nearly 200 times as many people. The relatively low death toll was not the result of a hugely effective vaccine that stopped a deadly virus. In a 2013 study, CDC researchers estimated that the vaccine was only 62 percent effective in people younger than 65. (For those older than 65, it was only 43 percent effective.) While thats far better than zero, its mediocre compared with the effectiveness of vaccines for diseases like polio and measles, which can reduce a persons risk of infection by more than 90 percent. To make matters worse, only an estimated 27 percent of people in the United States ended up getting the vaccine for 2009 H1N1 by April 2010, in part because it didnt start arriving in sufficient numbers until the end of December. (During last years flu season, 45 percent of people older than six months got vaccinated.) So the vaccine was just a modest help for public health: Between 43 million and 89 million people in the United States came down with 2009 H1N1 from April 2009 to April 2010. The vaccine prevented 700,000 to 1.5 million cases. Between 8,870 and 18,310 people in the United States are estimated to have died in the pandemic.
The frustrations of 2009 showed experts just how mysterious flu viruses can be, and how much vaccines against them leave to be desired. The sudden outbreak drove home the realization that the world needs vaccines that are more effective and faster to make not just to reduce the 250,000 to 500,000 deaths from seasonal flu that occur every year but also to prepare for the arrival of new, deadly pandemics. Many researchers became convinced that it was time to step beyond World War II-era technology and start using 21st-century methods for making vaccines. The eggs should be long gone, grumbles Michael Osterholm, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota. In the four years since the 2009 pandemic, researchers have been searching furiously for a better answer. This year saw the publication of a string of papers that could lead scientists to a fundamentally new kind of flu vaccine one that might someday substantially reduce the impact of a pandemic, and save many lives that would otherwise be lost to seasonal flu. Most scientists call it a universal flu vaccine, because it would protect people against many flu strains, including ones that have yet to evolve. This universal vaccine could ultimately put an end to the annual ritual of getting a flu shot: each jab might protect for years or even a lifetime. It could take years, even a lifetime, before a universal flu vaccine becomes available. Still, the mere fact that it could become a reality marks an important shift in the fight against influenza. We dont have them ready to go tomorrow, says Anthony Fauci, the director of the National
Quest for a universal vaccine
PUBLIC HEALTH
Tough virus to fight

The flu vaccine raised hopes that deadly pandemics would become a thing of the past. But it proved to be remarkably fickle. Vaccines for other diseases typically protected people for decades even for life. The flu vaccines protection could abruptly fade away. The reason for this failure, it would turn out, is that flu viruses are especially good at evading vaccines. When we get a flu vaccine, our immune system responds by making antibodies. Later, if we get infected by a flu virus, the antibodies attack it. Most of the antibodies will latch on to the tips of proteins that stud the surface of the virus, interfering with the virus as it tries to invade our cells. But a flu virus mutates at an exceptionally high rate as it reproduces, and some mutations will change the tips of the surface proteins. The antibodies cannot grab tightly to the altered tips, so the virus is able to proceed with its invasion. From one flu season to the next, the evolution of the flu renders last seasons vaccine useless. The only way to protect people against a new years flu is to give them a new vaccine. On a chart of vaccine schedules, the flu vaccines stands out as the only one that requires annual in-
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, of the next generation of vaccines. But we didnt even have them at the concept stage in 2009. In its own day, the chicken-egg flu vaccine was a headline-grabbing triumph. Medical researchers first started looking for a flu vaccine during the carnage of the 1918 pandemic. But all attempts to create one failed, and for a very simple reason: No one knew what caused influenza. It wasnt until 1933 that British researchers first isolated a strain of the virus. Scientists had discovered that they could create an abundant supply of viruses to study by injecting them into chicken eggs, and flu researchers started doing the same. As scientists came to understand the biology of the flu virus better, they started testing egggrown viruses as vaccines. Injected into peoples arms, the vaccine viruses, doused with chemicals to inactivate them, triggered a protective immune response. The U.S. military took over flu-vaccine research during World War II, fearing that a 1918-scale pandemic would paralyze the Army. In 1943, American soldiers rolled up their sleeves and started getting an early flu shot.
jections. Theres really nothing else like it, says Richard Webby, a virologist at St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. The World Health Organization monitors flu strains as they rise to dominance, and each February it convenes a meeting to recommend which strains should go into the vaccine for the next flu season in the Northern Hemisphere. In September, it meets again to make the same decision for the Southern Hemisphere. There are many ways for a years vaccine production to go wrong. The vaccine may turn out to work worse than expected. When scientists adapt viruses to grow better in eggs, the viruses mutate in ways that are not possible in viruses outside the lab. The viruses that go into a vaccine can thus provoke antibodies that are mismatched with the viruses its supposed to fight. In some years, the eggs themselves become infected with pathogens, wiping out millions of doses.
Vaccines limitations
Even in good years, the flu vaccine does worse than vaccines for other diseases like measles or polio. Last year, Osterholm and his colleagues at

For nearly a century, flu vaccines have been made according to the same process: Strains of the influenza virus are injected into chicken eggs, cultured and later harvested from the eggs so they can be shipped around the world.
PUBLIC HEALTH
the University of Minnesota surveyed a number of studies on standard flu-vaccine shots. For adults younger than 65, they estimated that flu shots are 59 percent effective. As people get older, their immune system grows weaker, and so effectiveness wanes in people older than 65. Most people who die of the seasonal flu are older than 65; some studies suggest that a vaccine lowers the number of flu-related deaths in this group by as little as 5 percent. Rather than make a risky investment to research a vastly more effective flu vaccine, producers have continued to fine-tune the existing one. Theres no incentive to make something better, more reliable, Anthony Fauci says. It doesnt make companies rich. Osterholm and his colleagues
recently asked vaccine-producing companies what it would cost to make a better flu vaccine. The answers they got led them to make an estimate of up to $1 billion. We found no one who had an appetite for that, Osterholm says. New pandemics dont come out of the blue. They evolve from viruses that infect animals typically birds. Every now and then a bird-flu virus infects a person a chicken dealer in a Shanghai marketplace, for example. The virus may or may not make that person sick, but one thing is almost certain: It wont be able to get from that person to another person. Almost certain. Bird-flu viruses live in the guts of birds, and so they adapt poorly to living in the human airway. But on very rare occasions, a bird flu makes the leap over the species barrier and turns into a human flu, and then spreads easily from person
to person. Once a bird flu evolves into a human flu, it can start spreading around the world in a new pandemic. It may kill thousands or millions.
Searching for a better way
Faced with sudden bird-flu outbreaks in the mid-2000s, the U.S. government began launching new programs to find better ways of making flu vaccines. Those programs were just getting off the ground when the 2009 H1N1 pandemic struck but they were not mature enough to help fight the flu that year. Now they are starting to yield tangible changes. Among the flu vaccines available in the United States this year is one

called Flucelvax, made by Novartis. Flucelvax is not produced in chicken eggs. Novartis makes it in massive stainless-steel tanks that contain warm broths of flu-infected cells grown from a dog kidney (cells, Novartis emphasizes, that were taken from a single kidney decades ago and then reproduced). Making vaccines in mammalian cells has many potential advantages over making them in eggs. The viruses may be less likely to come out mismatched to the strains making people sick. The factories dont have to worry about eggs becoming infected with pathogens that can ruin a whole batch of vaccine. Flu experts also expect that mammalian cells will make it easier to scale up vaccine production in the face of a deadly pandemic. To make hundreds of millions of vaccine doses with eggs, manufacturers have to get hold of hundreds of millions of chicken eggs from chicken farmers; a cell-based factory just needs to build new tanks and inoculate them with fast-growing mammalian cells. Phil Dormitzer, the head of Novartis Vaccines virology and U.S. vaccine research programs, sees the new factories as bringing flu vaccines into the modern pharmaceutical age. But with just two cellbased factories (one in North Carolina and the other in Germany), the company is still making most of its flu vaccines in chicken eggs this year. Were going to have to prove that the technology is reliable year after year before anyone is going to be willing to shut down egg-based plants, Dormitzer told me. While Fauci, of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, says that Novartiss cellbased factories are a big step in the right direction, he doesnt consider them a clean break with traditional ways of making flu vaccines. Fauci is more excited about something called a recombinant protein vaccine, which does not rely on growing viruses, even though it is cell-based. At Protein Sciences, a small Connecticut biotech firm, researchers isolate the gene for the flu viruss surface proteins and insert it into an entirely different species of virus, called a baculovirus. The baculovi-
rus infects insect cells and causes them to make huge amounts of the surface proteins, which the company uses to make Flublok, the only recombinant protein flu vaccine currently available. Yet all cell-based flu vaccines share the same shortcoming: theyre not very effective. A 2011 study at the University of Rochester found that Flublok, for example, was 44.6 percent effective. And the protection from these new flu vaccines fades away in a year, just like vaccines from chicken eggs. Thats because cell-based vaccines cause people to make antibodies to the tips of the surface proteins the same kind of antibodies that flu vaccines have been producing for 70 years. Its like putting a 1940s transmission in a 2014 car, Osterholm says.
What these faster vaccine factories need is a better vaccine to make. The ideal would be to have one flu vaccine that you use once to become immunized for life and be protected against every new kind of flu, says Barney Graham of the Vaccine Research Center at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Recent research suggests that the longtime dream of a universal flu vaccine could eventually come true. Instead of targeting the tips of the surface proteins, this kind of vaccine would target a part of the virus that doesnt change so easily. Scientists have discovered that the stems of the surface proteins change very little. A stem vaccine might provide protection against many different kinds of flu protection that could last for years or decades. To test this idea, scientists have engineered antibodies that latch tightly to the stems. So far, mice injected with these stem antibodies can resist infection not just by one strain but by many. If scientists can create a vaccine that provokes us to make these stem antibodies, they could provide broad protection against the flu. At the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, in New York City, Peter Palese is leading experiments to get mice and ferrets to make their
A race against new strains
own stem antibodies. The researchers have tried various methods, including the same one used to make Flublok insect cells churning out surface proteins. But the cells engineer the proteins in a special way, creating several different forms. Each form has a tip from a different strain of flu, while they all have the same stem. When Palese and his colleagues inject this cocktail into an animal, its immune system is exposed to many protein tips, but the same stem. So the immune system responds with an abundance of stem antibodies. Palese and his colleagues have injected a wide range of flu strains into vaccinated animals. In every case, the animals can fight off a lethal dose. Fauci and other researchers hope to push this research toward clinical trials in humans. If a universal vaccine proves to be safe and effective, doctors might eventually be able to dispense it every few years, or just a couple of times to children for lifetime protection. The vaccine might protect against new flu pandemics, doing away with the dangerous lag time currently required for making new vaccines. We could actually get ahead of pandemics, Osterholm says. But the history of flu vaccines leaves many experts unwilling to hold their breath. Its not a matter of finding a result in a lab today and having a product tomorrow, St. Judes Richard Webby warns. These things can take decades to get through. Palese acknowledges that the vaccine may fail in clinical trials. Mice are not men, and the immune systems are different, he says. Unless we can get it into humans, the jury is still out. While Palese and his colleagues were running their experiments, two men in Shanghai died of the flu last March. It turned out that they were both infected with H7N9, a subtype of bird flu never seen before in humans. Since then, H7N9 has turned up throughout eastern China and in Taiwan. Out of the 136 people who had fallen ill as of mid-October, 45 died. H7N9 infects chickens without making them sick, and so it has been

able to spread invisibly. So far, only one case of probable human-tohuman transmission has been found. But H7N9 might not need more than a few mutations to move easily from one person to another. As H7N9s worrying nature became clear, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services started a program to develop a vaccine, commissioning the vaccine manufacturer Sanofi Pasteur to grow H7N9 viruses. Last September, the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases launched a clini-
cal trial with a vaccine made from those viruses. If the vaccine proves effective, the government may create a stockpile to use in case the virus turns into a pandemic. The stockpile would be for first responders only, though, and it wouldnt be ready this winter. Nor will any of the advanced flu-vaccine factories now using dog cells or insect cells produce an emergency supply of vaccines for a pandemic: they dont have the capacity. And so the H7N9 vaccine is being made the old-fashioned way. At Sanofi Pasteur, people are carefully drilling holes into chicken eggs.
The trials of the H7N9 vaccine should be done by late 2014. If the government goes ahead with manufacturing a stockpile, it will need millions more eggs, and months more time. But if history has taught us anything, its that influenza does not respect our timetables. + Carl Zimmer is a columnist for The New York Times and the author of 12 books.

Technology holds promise and potential pitfalls

Government, technology companies and privacy advocates to draft rules for using facial recognition products
By Chris Strohm |
Bloomberg News Chicago Tribune | digitalPLUS Magazine | Section 1A | Monday, January 6, 2014
13
TECHNOLOGY
ASHINGTON Facebook, Wal-Mart and other companies planning to use facial-recognition scans for security or tailored sales pitches will help write rules for how images and online profiles can be used. The U.S. Department of Commerce will start meeting with industry and privacy advocates in February to draft a voluntary code of conduct for using facial recognition products, according to a public notice. The draft will ready by June. We are very skeptical about stomping on technology in the cradle, Mallory Duncan, senior vice president of the Washington-based National Retail Federation. Its not a good idea to develop codes or laws that freeze technology before you have the ability of determining what its capable of achieving. In Britain, Tesco Plc is installing face-scanning technology at its gasoline stations to determine customers ages and gender so tailored advertisements can be delivered to them on screens at checkouts. Retailers may be able to compare customers images from security cameras with law enforcement photo databases. Facebook, Apple and other Internet companies have been trying to restore consumer confidence that they protect privacy amid an international backlash over revelations that the National Security Agency has collected data on their users. The American Civil Liberties Union and other privacy groups want laws, not voluntary standards, to prevent face scans from being used for spying and tracking. Trade groups like the retail federation, which represents Wal-Mart, oppose regulations or laws they say might cripple an emerging market estimated to reach $6.5 billion by 2018 by MarketsandMarkets, a Dallas research company. Facial detection technology uses a mathematical formula to create a digital template of a persons face, otherwise known as a faceprint. It underlies one of the more popular Internet activities tagging yourself and others in photos uploaded to social media sites like Facebook or within photo management applications such as Apples iPhoto. Kiosks have been developed that can scan a persons face at a shop-
ping mall to determine gender or age for tailored sales pitches, Duncan said. Nashville advertising and technology agency Redpepper is testing an Internet application in which users agree to give access to their Facebook profiles and have their faces scanned by cameras at local businesses when they walk in or by. The application then delivers customized advertising deals to their smartphones. Meanwhile, facial scans are becoming more common to establish identity for secure access to buildings or devices. Apple received a patent in Decemeber for a system to use a facial scan to unlock an iPhone or computer. The U.S. Commerce Department, which will start the discussions in February, says the code of conduct will apply only to commercial use, not to how law enforcement or spy agencies may use it. The Commerce discussions can provide meaningful privacy protections without running the risk of legislation that becomes outdated as technology evolves and limits peoples ability to use online services, Rob Sherman, policy manager for Facebook, said in an emailed statement. Facebook has almost 1.2 billion users and doesnt disclose how many faceprints it has assembled. Kristin Huguet, an Apple spokeswoman, said the company declined to comment. Wal-Mart doesnt use facial recognition in its stores but is looking into the technology primarily for security purposes, said Brooke Buchanan, a company spokeswoman. The company will be represented by NRF at the Commerce talks. Voluntary standards written primarily by companies with a business stake in using facial recognition wont ensure adequate protection of peoples privacy, such as preventing facial scans of people without their knowledge, said Christopher Calabrese, an ACLU lawyer in Washington. One of the most serious concerns about facial recognition is it allows secret surveillance at a distance, he said. Suddenly, youre really not anonymous in public anymore. Once a company obtains facial images, it can use them to identify people, track their movements and
build profiles of their personal lives, Jeffrey Chester, executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy, a privacy advocacy group in Washington, said. This is all about giving a digital stamp of approval to the industrys ever growing collection of U.S. consumer data, Chester said. Companies can combine facial data with applications that track a persons location or online browsing habits, Chester said. This commercial surveillance is vulnerable to being searched or obtained by the NSA or other government agencies, no matter how companies try to protect it, he said. Growth in the facial-recognition market is being fueled by cameras with the ability to capture quality photos, databases with photos linked to peoples online identities, and computing power to analyze images, said Joseph Atick, co-founder of the Washington-based International Biometrics and Identification Association. This is a perfect storm, said Atick, who pioneered the technology in the 1990s. There is reason for alarm. The association, which represents Lockheed Martin and other technology companies that work with facial recognition software and hardware, wants the code of conduct to be voluntary with the Federal Trade Commission supervising how companies implement it, Atick said. Lockheed Martin is committed to policies setting forth privacy practices for facial recognition technology, although it is premature to discuss the specifics of the issue as the guidelines are still being drafted, Donna Savarese, a spokeswoman for the company, said in an emailed statement. Companies should be required to notify people and get their consent before using the technology on them, Atick said. Companies that pledge to abide by the code and fail to do so could be punished by the trade commission or face class-action lawsuits, he said. The technology holds great potential to benefit society, for commercial purposes and security uses such as finding criminals, Atick said. It must be handled with the utmost care in order to not lose the confidence of consumers and citizens, he said. +

Whats killing bees?

Environmental advocates target possible flaws in EPA pesticide system as honeybees die off
By Kendall Helblig
McClatchy Washington Bureau
QUEEN OF THE SUN PHOTO
ASHINGTON The honeybees that pollinate one-third of Americans daily diet are dying, and in the eyes of some environmentalists one culprit may be a decades-old Environmental Protection Agency system. The system is called conditional
registration, and its essentially a way to get pesticides on the market quickly. But to environmentalists and some experts, the system has become too loose, letting some potentially dangerous pesticides on the market, or letting them stay there too long.
15
ENVIRONMENT
In the case of honeybees, insecticides conditionally registered in the early 2000s have been blamed for impairing the bees immune systems; in the past five years, the honeybee population has declined 20 percent to 30 percent each year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. To continue to risk the collapse of our honeybee population and other insects that support our ecosystems is a tragedy, said Jonathan Evans of the Center for Biological Diversity, a national environmental advocacy group. The criticism of the EPAs conditional registration system is nothing new. A Government Accountability Office report from August, for example, said the agency has a confusing recordkeeping system for tracking pesticides a problem the GAO first flagged in 1986. The recent report helped revive claims that conditional registration is unsafe. I think its really concerning that they have acknowledged that they have all these problems and missing data, but they are still trying to go full steam ahead, said Mae Wu, an attorney at the Natural Resources Defense Council, another advocacy group. For its part, the EPA said its own 2012 review showed that recordkeeping troubles have not affected the safety of products it has approved. The EPA also said it was taking steps to improve the tracking of its pesticides, seeking to promote consistency and enhance transparency of its system. The conditional registration system began in 1978 with an amendment to the law that governs insecticide use. It allows some pesticides to be sold before all necessary studies are completed as long as the company follows up with required data by a designated date, the pesticide will not cause any unreasonable risk to the environment and the use of the pesticide is in the public interest, according to EPAs website. About 16,000 pesticides are currently registered with the EPA, and each manager in the agencys Office of Pesticide Programs is responsible
for keeping track of about 800. But without a centralized system, managers monitor their products in different ways some with spreadsheets, others handwritten notes, others their own memory, said Alfredo Gomez, director of the natural resources and environment division of the GAO. As a result, the GAO found that the EPA is unable to provide accurate information on the current number of conditionally registered products. (Both the NRDC advocacy group and the EPA have said about two-thirds of pesticides are conditionally registered, although the flawed recordkeeping make it difficult to confirm that number.) And environmental advocates say the EPAs bookkeeping problems point to a larger issue: Too many products have gone into use prematurely, often without strict deadlines for submitting the final required data. I think the public is unfortunately putting its faith in a process that is broken, said Evans of the Center for Biological Diversity. In response to the most recent GAO report, the EPA has again promised to better track conditional registrations. But experts at top environmental watchdog groups say they are worried about the EPAs ability to follow through on those promises, and they also believe the EPA has overused conditional registration altogether in approving pesticides. When questioned about conditional registration, the EPA told McClatchy that its internal 2012 analysis did not show the agencys past use of conditional registrations was inappropriate, only that its tracking system was inefficient and confusing. Environmental advocates arent convinced, especially in light of the honeybee crisis, termed colony collapse disorder. In 2003, Bayer CropScience received conditional registration for clothianidin, a type of neonicotinoid. Neonicotinoids are insecticides that target the central nervous system in insects; they were introduced as an alternative to other pesticides that are more toxic to humans and wildlife, according to the EPA. Bayer followed up with more data
about how clothianidin affects pollinators in 2007 three years late, according to the NRDC. EPA reviewers determined Bayers study had structural flaws but classified it as supplemental, meaning they thought it provided some scientifically sound information but did not follow testing protocol, according to a 2011 letter posted on EPAs website from the director of the Office of Pesticide Programs, which responds to concerns about clothianidin. Still, clothianidin was switched to full registration in 2010. The EPA is not aware of any data demonstrating that bee colonies are subject to elevated losses due to long-term exposure to this compound, the agency says on its website. The U.S. Department of Agriculture also says that the science on colony collapse disorder is still unclear, and it could be because of several factors, and that neonicotinoids are only one possibility. It said that the students that reported a negative impact on honeybees by neonicotinoids relied on large, unrealistic doses and gave bees no other choice for pollen, and therefore did not reflect risk to honeybees under real-world conditions. In a statement, Bayer says, There has been no demonstrated effect on bee colony health associated with the proper and labeled use of neonicotinoids. Even so, the European Commission voted recently to severely limit or ban three major neonicotinoids across most of Europe for two years while it studies the issue. In addition, beekeepers and environmental and consumer groups joined forces in another lawsuit against the EPA, for its failure to follow the lead of European officials. Although the GAO cited the history of clothianidin and nanosilver, the purpose of its report wasnt to evaluate the pesticides only to assess EPAs recordkeeping. But the GAO did make three recommendations to the EPA to improve its recordkeeping system and website, which the GAO said contains inaccurate information about conditional registration. In a statement to McClatchy, the EPA said it has recently updated its website with clearer content. +

ASHINGTON Some of my favorite memories and best ideas from last year are gone. I wrote them in a notebook I carried in my back pocket, and a few months ago, I left the

You can find vintage sandwiches in the seat-back pouches of a plane, but if you leave a leatherbound notebook about the size of a 3-by-5 card behind, theyll throw it in the engine and clam up before you get out of the airport. They have special drills for this, I think. I have carried a notebook in my

LIFE
back pocket for the last 23 years, five months, and 11 days. I can be precise because I still have the first one and 20 others like it on a shelf in my office. They contain thousands of little passages, some only a sentence, from coffee shops and northbound trains and campaign buses. Ive transcribed overheard conversations (Shy sales people have skinny kids), Ive sketched characters for a novel (he had the face of a dissipated potato), and Ive collected facts, words and quotes from my travels and reading (Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard). For years, not many other people shared my little habit. Now we all do it on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Lately, there has been some concern about all of this activity. Recently in The New York Times, Sherry Turkle wrote about putting our lives on pause in order to tweet, text or take a selfie: When you get accustomed to a life of stops and starts, you get less accustomed to reflecting on where you are and what you are thinking. A few months ago, also in the Times, Nick Bilton wrote that were all so busy capturing moments, were not living in them. This is a false choice. You can live in the moment and capture it. (Apples ubiquitous holiday ad made this point and went viral.) I have the notebooks to prove it (most of them, anyway), and the proof is in how acutely I feel the loss of the two last seen in and around seats 8A and 11F. What I have lost is not just my observations of various moments made more meaningful because I stopped to put them into words but Ive also lost the feelings and recollections those entries would have unlocked when I looked back over them. In recent years, Ive captured more through my iPhone than my pen. As a practical matter, that means some of that writing I lost is in Twitter or on Facebook, but the technology offers more than just the cloud backup. It has improved this process of engaging with life through pausing to capture it. The unexamined life is not worth
living, said Socrates (and every freshman taking philosophy), but he also said to beware of the barrenness of a busy life. There is a tension between the obsessiveness Turkle and Bilton write about and the enriching observations of the kind I fancy I have. We all know how to spot the obsessives. Theyre blocking views at concerts as they hold up their phone to capture distant singing blobs of blurry light onstage. They text and drive, putting other people at risk, or theyre the ones at dinner who photograph every course change. These people are a chore, but people have been abusing the mouth by talking too much for ages. If you are tweeting and not paying attention to the world around you, then youre just a bore. Its not technologys fault or a change in norms. If you go out to dinner with people who are constantly texting, its like going to dinner with people who wont shut up about their golf game or their wireless speakers. Its also true, though, that for some people, talking too much or taking a thousand photographs is the way they experience the world. They are not interested in your Zen moments. A life of frantic self-interruption may be their therapy. The result of the oversharing and digital busyness is that it makes those of us who worry about doing the right thing feel like were passing notes in church every time we stop to document. Dont tweet or Instagram for fear that someone will think youre not living in the moment. Were all on the cusp of being boorish American tourists wherever we go. But this overstates the peril of a process that is fundamentally about engagement and mindfulness. When you pause to write about something even if its for Twitter or Facebook you are engaging with it. Something within you is inspired and, at the very least, youve got to pick the words and context to convey meaning for your private recollection or, if you make it public, for the larger world. In Why I Write, Joan Didion explains, I write entirely to find out what Im thinking, what Im looking at, what I see and what it means. Hey, were all little Joan Didions! Well, not exactly, but if my theory
sounds grandiose, go back to look at things you wrote a few years ago, if you can. When I look at the notes Ive stopped to write in those books, entire worlds come back at me. Watching the squirming foot of the resident during the circumcision, I wrote while my son went through the procedure. I hadnt thought about that moment since it happened, but that image of the nervous young doctor put me right back on the threshold of the small operating room 11 years ago. The set list from the Bob Dylan show at Madison Square Garden in November 2001 reminds me of my visit that day to ground zero. Id forgotten that George Plimpton nearly ran me over riding down 54th Street on a bicycle. My wifes malapropisms dot the books (Hang up the towel, Breathing down my throat, Stick his neck out on a limb for me). I recalled each dinner where they were minted, how we laughed over them and how she has the equanimity not to care. In the past, you took a photo, you hoped it developed, you relived the moment, and then entombed most of the pictures in a shoebox or a photo album. Now we carry those moments with us. The first time I played guitar with my daughter, I might not have been 100 percent in the moment when I made a video of it, but I dont think I missed a chord, and when Im stuck on a plane Im very happy to hear her play. I am happy to swap the seconds I expended getting the video in place for the moments of escape the video provides from the middle-seat armrest competition. I wish I had a photograph of the place we ate sushi after I picked my daughter up from camp. There was nothing visually interesting about it, but the picture would remind me of hearing her tell me the benefits of taking risks in life. If you have children and want to give your future self a present, record their laughter as toddlers. When theyre older and away from you, you might find that clip in the middle of the day and it will transport you as surely as if you had a time machine. + Dickerson is Slates chief political correspondent and author of On Her Trail.

The art of babysitting

Parents looking to bring culture to their kids lives turn to dancers, actors, singers who offer both creativity and child care
By Anand Giridharadas
New York Times News Service
EW YORK Let grownups have their personal chefs, personal shoppers and personal pilots. For waist-high tykes like Andrew Wang, 5 and fizzy, New York now offers something better: the personal artist, rentable by the hour as babysitter. Every week, a troupe of artsitters ballerinas and Shakespearean actors, sculptors and opera singers fan out across the city and into the homes of children whose parents keep hearing that, in the cutthroat future, only the creative will survive. For about $25 an hour ($5 to $15 more than the usual), the sitters etch mice, twist bracelets, stage plays, sing vibrato, invent plots and do a dance called the banana with their wards. It is a business model very much of this moment. With fiscal austerity squeezing culture budgets, student debt swelling and many arts institutions straining to woo audiences, struggling artists abound: Sitters Studio, which offers the artsitters, says it sees 75 applications for each hire. And while those artists might once have waited tables or sold records to get by, some have found that in this new gilded age much opportunity lies in addressing your services to a private few, not the public many. As with artsitting, so with tutoring (over teaching school) and practicing concierge medicine (over working the ER). Of course, little Andrew, too young to ponder such things, was just thrilled to have an actress at his side on a recent afternoon. Rebecca Balmer is an aspiring stage and film performer once of Portland, Ore., and now, naturally, of Brooklyn

with a credit to her name in last years movie Punch Money. She is one of around 100 sitters who work for Sitters Studio, which books approximately 6,000 sessions a year, three-quarters of them in New York and the rest in Chicago. Sitting in Andrews living room high above Central Park, Balmer was working hard to share flakes of her creativity, in fulfillment of Sitters Studios declared mission: to support the artist of today while developing the leaders of tomorrow. But when art goes up against the entropy of childs play, childs play often wins.
Balmer, who has regular sessions with Andrew, came with an arts agenda, as the sitters are encouraged to do as a source of competitive distinction. She ran through the options: They could make jewelry from pipe cleaners. Or they could make up a dance: Even at his tender age, Andrew is a product of both the Ailey School and Ballet Hispanico. Or perhaps they could finish the Angry Birds Star Wars-themed story they had begun writing last time.
19
TREND
But at this moment Andrew seemed to need less, not more, of the artistic temperament. He refused to commit to an idea. Instead, he ran in circles around the room, pulling out any toy, game or activity that could possibly serve their cause: a Mr. Potato Head, large-peg Legos, stuffed Angry Birds, toy trucks and farm equipment, Etch A Sketches, card games, letter blocks. They fell to the center of the room Why dont we choose something to do instead of taking everything out? Balmer said. What emerged that day is that Andrew is a concepts guy and a delegator more than a doer. Although Balmer had come to teach him art, he preferred to give her broad directions and trust her with the details. They agreed, for example, to work on the Angry Birds Star Wars story. But once they began, Andrew peeled off and strolled over to the floor-to-ceiling windows, marveling at the autumn colors. He returned every few minutes to supervise Balmer, cuddling or hovering over her, giving plot ideas here and there, but refusing entreaties to add his own drawings or some of his own handwriting. When Balmer asked Andrew whether a new character should be good or bad, he said: I dont know. You choose. When arriving on a blank sheet, Balmer asked, What happens on Page 10? You decide, the Delegator said. Yet for Sitters Studios customers the parents it may be less about childrens learning art than about exposing them to the artists curious, upbeat, inquisitive frame of mind, in the words of Daniel Colon, who works in private equity and frequently hires the sitters for his 5and 7-year-olds. The duty of the 14-year-olddown-the-street type of babysitter was simple, Colon said: to ensure that the kids are alive when you get home. He added, What were really paying for its an attitude. He said artsitters were sunnier and more whimsical than other sitters hed employed, even from fancy services. One reason they relate to
his daughter, he explained, is that the artists strike him as childlike, in a good way but with the helpful advantage of adult-level skills in keeping children breathing. The artist-as-babysitter can also be seen as a form of patronage, albeit a 21st-century, upper-middle-class New York version, in which lawyers, doctors and financiers become latter-day Medicis, sponsoring one or a few artists instead of buying tickets and watching their money melt into a vast institution. Dr. Lisa Roazen, an emergency room physician in Park Slope who hires an artsitter for her 2- and 4-year-olds, said, Its really neat being able to directly contribute to this individual who is enriching all of our arts experience in the community. Sometimes, she said, when a sitter must cancel (and is replaced by a substitute from the agency), the news excites rather than angers her: Our sitter must have landed an audition! It is waaaayyyy too hard to be an artist in this country, Kristina Wilson, Sitters Studios founder, said in an email. A musical theater major who once worked at Morgan Stanley to pay her bills while auditioning, she wondered whether artists would need to babysit in European countries with more public financing of culture. It is our view of arts in our country, she said, that makes it so that these smart, talented and educated people are here for this job. In the end, though, I think everyone wins. Of the $25 hourly rate charged on their behalf, the sitters typically keep $15 to $20, excluding tips and overtime pay. Because they are freelancers, Sitters Studio provides no health benefits but does guide them toward suitable insurance plans and provides a space in its offices in Midtown Manhattan where they can print rsums, grab free food and hear occasional lectures on topics like accounting for artists. One of the artists receiving this variety of patronage is Courtney D. Ellis, an actress who trained in stage combat, singing, dance and Shakespeare while earning her MFA at Columbia. Afterward, loaded with debt and finding few roles, and those mostly in musicals and chil-
drens plays rather than in the classical work she favors, she became an artsitter. As with Balmer, the challenge facing Ellis one recent evening was to sell Stavros, 7, and Miranda, 4 (whose parents allowed them to be observed as long as their last name was withheld to guard their privacy), on the creative expression their parents wanted for them. Stavros confessed that when an artist came to watch them the first time, he was reluctant to set aside his Plants vs. Zombies play for crafts, dancing and arranging plays. Now hes hooked on evenings of creativity. I did it first, and then I started to make a habit, and now I just feel like it, he said. For working parents short of time, it perhaps soothes consciences to leave offspring with an artist instead of the gum-chewing, TVwatching, phone-talking babysitter of American lore. But children have a way of deflating puffed-up visions and can turn an artists plans into something that looks a lot like regular rambunctiousness. Ellis was quick and playful and full of activity ideas, bringing the improv-theater ethos of Yes, and to whatever the children dreamed of doing. She seemed determined to prove the artsitters special relevance by lobbying for the more creative forms of play. They began with a dance, which led to Mirandas lying on top of Ellis and singing, which led to reading a story all together. Ellis invented voices for the characters and read with Broadway-worthy gusto. Before long, a minor war erupted. Stavros, sober and disciplined, argued for sticking with the book; Miranda, love-spongy and radicalanarchic, pressed for writing their own. A compromise: They would do neither and make turkey hats instead. Some of Ellis job is standard babysitter police work: We dont fight over glitter glue, she warned after the craft activity got under way. But even in the humdrum tasks, the artist within her kept trying to peep out. Oh, per-fect! she belted, sounding more as if she were making her debut at the Metropolitan Opera than complimenting the placement of a turkey feather. +

Writing your work narrative

Figure out your career story, and let the tale show the way
Its important to start each year with a carefully thought out list of pragmatic resolutions. My list includes: Start a dynasty of ducks. Ride a narwhal (preferably while nude). Watch more TV. Learn how to write a newspaper column. Im sure you all have resolutions of your own, narwhal-related or otherwise, but I suggest workers and job seekers consider one additional item: Figure out the story of your career. Ive touched on this issue before, but its an ideal moment to revisit it: What better time to start considering your narrative than during the opening chapter of a new year? The idea is that the work you do, the degrees you earn, the blog posts you write all weave into a narrative that tells the world your professional story. Our careers are no longer contained on a one-page resume. As Pamela Slim writes in her new book, Body of Work: Finding the Thread That Ties Your Story Together: Like it or not, Google is telling a story about you right now. Go ahead, Google your name. Hopefully you have narrated part of your story and are happy about what people have written or shared about you. If you arent, the good news is that you can change it. Words, images and videos make up a multicolored tapestry of your life on the Web. As you create your body of work, you need to package it, to illustrate it, and to tie it together in a cohesive story. Now take a deep breath, because this is not as complex as it sounds, and not everyones career story will be an elaborate multimedia tale. The core point is to examine what you have done in and around your professional life. Treat those experiences like chapters. Then ask, How do I put those chapters together in a way that makes sense? Slim wrote about a friend who was laid off and struggling to find a new job. The friend had been a manager at a consulting firm and a project manager for IBM who had interest in research and thirst for learning. She also had previous experience in the nonprofit arena, overseeing childrens camps. Her resume wasnt connecting any of these experiences or highlighting specific stories from those exPlease turn to Page 4

Jeweler Mark Bacharachs shop is in the building: If conversion does indeed happen, it will cause some of us to go out of business completely.
Another Jewelers Row gem is facing changes

Part of historic building may turn into hotel, forcing shops to move
By Ellen Jean Hirst
Tribune reporter
Mark Bacharach has been through this before. The owner of a custom jewelry shop started by his German father had a thriving business in the historic Kesner Building at 5 N. Wabash Ave., but it had to relocate in 2000 when that property converted into condominiums. Now settled on the eighth floor of the Pittsfield Building just a block north at 55 E. Washington St., Bacharach is bracing for what could be another disruption. Floors 2-9 of the landmark building are said to be under contract for sale to a developer with plans to convert the space into a hotel, industry sources said. Bacharach said he doesnt know if he can weather another move, a sentiment shared by other jewelers in the building. Id run into old customers on the street, and theyd say, I couldnt find you, Bacharach said of some of the difficulties he faced with his last move after 56 years in the Kesner Building. Unless I get a terrific deal, moving is horrendously expensive. ... Were going to be dispersed, and the city doesnt care. And
theyre going to lose a valuable industry. A representative of Morgan Reed Group, based in Miami Beach, Fla., which owns most of the building at 55 E. Washington, said a deal is expected to close in the first quarter. Work on converting the space could start in summer, with the project completed 18 months after that, he said. The Morgan Reed official said tenants, who include jewelers, dentists, beauticians and others, would be required to vacate those floors, but they could be relocated to upper floors. He said the lower floors are already 80 percent vacant. Morgan Reed owns floors 1-12 and 22-38. The other floors, 13-21, were sold to a Skokie-based group in 2008, which at the time converted them into apartments. Chicagos tallest building when it was built in 1927, the 38-story Pittsfield, with art deco and Gothic detailing, houses about a dozen jewelers. It and a handful of other buildings make up Chicagos long-established Jewelers Row. But the district that made its name in Chicago in the late 1800s has been weakened in recent years

as jewelers close and choose to relocate. It was listed on the Landmarks Illinois 10 Most Endangered List in 2005. The district in the heart of Chicagos Loop stretches roughly between Monroe and Washington streets on Wabash. The city officially named it a Chicago landmark in 2002. The Loop Retail Historic District,
which includes Jewelers Row, joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. A history of the district compiled by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks shows that jewelers have been part of Chicagos commercial history since the city was born. John Kinzie ran a saloon and moonlighted as a silver-
smith in the early 1800s, when Chicago was nothing more than Fort Dearborn and a few pioneers. In 1833, Chicago was established as a village, and J.H. Mulford became Chicagos first jeweler. Eleven years later, Chicago had four jewelers, and by the early 1900s, jewelers began to congregate on Wabash Avenue downtown. Converting retail and office spaces into hotels is a popular move right now. The former Chicago Athletic Association building across from Millennium Park and the historic Dearborn Bank Building are just two spots that will house new downtown hotels in the next few years. Ted Mandigo, a hotel consultant based in Elmhurst, expects a 20 percent increase in downtown hotel-room supply during the next five years. Mandigo said that increase could present challenges for new and existing hotels. Though Chicagos tourism industry is growing, he said, the occupancy rate could slip a few percentage points from its current 75 percent as new rooms become available. Prices will remain extremely competitive, he said. He estimates the Pittsfield could accommodate a hotel with up to 250 rooms on floors 2-9. If the deal is completed,
Fannie, Freddie too profitable to close?

Mortgage finance giants in cross hairs, but theyve become cash cows for U.S.

WASHINGTON Federal officials swooped in to rescue mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2008 with the largest of all the financial crisis bailouts a combined $187.5 billion because they were considered too big to fail. Now, despite bipartisan support to shut them down, Fannie and Freddie may prove to be too profit-
able to close. Fannie and Freddie play a vital role in the mortgage market by purchasing or guaranteeing more than 6 in 10 new loans. And the housing markets recovery has reversed the finances of the once-private companies, now wards of the U.S. government. Fannie and Freddie are not only making money but also sending huge dividend checks to the Treasury a combined $39 billion this week for their latest quar-
terly payment and some are wondering why they should be put out of business. Were a country thats running huge deficits, and here are two government entities that are going to produce somewhere in the neighborhood of $40 billion to $50 billion a year for the government, said Guy Cecala, publisher of Inside Mortgage Finance Publications, which produces industry newsletters. Can we really afford to kill off cash cows? Big payments from Fannie and Freddie over the summer helped delay the deadline for raising the
nations debt limit. And with the latest dividend checks received Tuesday, Fannie and Freddie have paid the government a total of $185.3 billion since 2008, nearly offsetting the entire cost of the bailout. Their turnaround has made the companies attractive to private investors. In November, hedge fund Fairholme Capital Management, which owns a combined $3.5 billion in preferred stock in the two companies, proposed that it buy the mortgage-insurance businesses of Fannie and Freddie in a recapitalization plan.
The Obama administration rejected the idea. President Barack Obama has been clear that he wants to shut down the two companies and replace their role in the market with a new, scaled-down government approach to mortgage guarantees. Key House and Senate committees are working on legislation that would put Fannie and Freddie out of business. But the large dividend payments complicate the efforts to pass the bills. Because Fannie and Freddie now are a significant

At Goose Island, I wore a ton of hats. Going into a large company, I understood how the operation should run and how it all links to sales and marketing. Large companies sometimes lose that connection to sales and marketing because theyre not necessarily sitting in the same office building. Thats a real advantage that entrepreneurs and small companies have. Going back into a small company now, its been eye-opening that ... there still can be lack of connectedness. It sometimes takes a senior leader in a small organization to make sure that they keep connected.

We have an incredible array of conveniences available to us on our smartphones, but mostly it has impacted how we live as consumers photo sharing, booking travel, downloading music, etc. Yet, not much has changed in the past decades in our lives as citizens: We still get educated the same ways, access health care the same way, get stuck in traffic congestion and pay our electric bill without knowing why it is what it is. Entrepreneurs are increasingly looking at traditional industry and asking why it operates the way it does.
Material science is most exciting to me at the moment. Advanced materials will make the currently impossible, possible. With the discovery of new materials like graphene the thinnest material on Earth, completely elastic, yet stronger than a diamond I think we will soon see some fascinating applications.

I think we will see digital fabrication and rapid prototyping tools dominate the innovation forefront in 2014. Three-D printers will continue to lead the charge, but as CNC milling software improves, they will become more commonplace. (CNC stands for computer numerical control.) Open source hardware has been driving down the cost of these fabrication machines to the point where small businesses and even individuals can afford them.
Part of Jewelers Row building could turn into hotel

Peter Strazzabosco, deputy commissioner for the Chicago Department of Housing and Economic Development, said building permits will have to be reviewed by staff at the Commission on Chicago Landmarks to determine any impact on the buildings protected features. There are several landmarks that operate as hotels, so its not an unusual concept in terms of city review, he said. Though uncertain of his future, Bacharach remains dedicated to his familys 70-year-old business. After studying the trade in Germany, his father, Leo, immigrated to the U.S. in 1936, dropping the middle a from the family name and founding what became Leo A. Bachrach & Son in the Kesner Building in 1944. Mark Bacharach restored the original spelling to his own surname when he turned 18. His father died four years ago at age 93 and left Bacharach with the business, which does repairs and appraisals in addition to custom jewelry. Bacharach wrote a letter to Ald. Brendan Reilly on Christmas Eve asking for his help to keep jewelers in the building. Mr. Reilly, speaking quite bluntly, if conversion does indeed happen, it will cause some of us to go out of business completely. ... Contrary to popular belief, not all of us have bushel baskets of extra cash in the basement, Bacharach wrote in a letter he copied to the Tribune. Many of us are third and fourth generation family businesses. Reilly, 42nd, could not be reached for comment. One of Bacharachs fellow jewelers in the building, Zach Sigal, said he will close up shop if hes told he needs to move. Im not going to move. If they kick me out, Ill just close, Sigal said. Im 63.

Uber acts tough with clients, regulators

Service knows value of good, bad publicity
By Sarah McBride
Reuters
SAN FRANCISCO Uber Chief Executive Travis Kalanick knows the value of a good controversy. After his upstart company, which lets people summon rides at the touch of a smartphone button, provoked a flurry of social media outrage in December over pricing policies that can result in exorbitant fares, Kalanick addressed prospective New Years Eve customers. If you absolutely need a ride between 1 and 3 a.m., Uber will be very reliable, Kalanick said in a YouTube video. But it will be a pricey ride, and you just have to accept that. The companys pricing policies can sometimes result in fares that are eight times higher than usual. Like the message or not, plenty of people heard it and fewer complaints emerged about Ubers New Years Eve rates. Kalanick has taken a similarly tough tack with regulators, local officials, taxi-company foes and emerging competitors as he moves to build Uber into a global force. Uber began offering service in Chicago in September 2011, later adding a lower-cost taxi option and expanding to the suburbs. But it will take a lot more than a popular smartphone app, a loyal following and a knack for turning free-market ideology into publicity to fulfill Kalanicks vision of a lifestyle and logistics company that delivers far more than rides. Uber has entered more than 60 markets, ranging from its hometown of San Francisco to Berlin and Tokyo. Leaked financials in December indicate that the company, which began connecting passengers with drivers of vehicles for hire about 312 years ago, is generating $200 million a year in revenue beyond what it pays to drivers. Investors, led by Google Inc., have given Uber around $400 million and valued it at $3.5 billion. With a service that stitches together the buzziest cate-

gories in entrepreneurship among them mapping, smartphones and local services Uber is widely seen as one of the hottest properties in Silicon Valley. Yet Uber still faces daunting regulatory hurdles that have left it shut out of major markets such as Miami. Lawsuits, many from taxi companies, are piling up. Competitors such as Hailo, Sidecar and Lyft are coming on strong. And aside from publicity stunts involving delivery of kittens, ice cream and Christmas trees, Uber has yet to provide anything beyond rides. Delivery can become an extremely complex thing, said Kerry Rice, a digital media analyst at Needham. Its about the scheduling and the software and the ability to manage a fleet. Delivery is a hot topic among Internet retailers, with companies like eBay Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Google all experimenting with same-day shipping. But it has proved a graveyard in the past for dot-com companies, such as Webvan
and Kosmo, which had dreams of challenging the global delivery leaders. Uber declined to comment on its plans. When Uber started offering its service in 2010, it was a way to connect riders with town car drivers who had extra time between scheduled gigs. The riders sign up via an app, with a portion of their fare going to Uber and a portion to the drivers, who are independent contractors. It developed a loyal following in the first cities where it launched including San Francisco, New York, Boston, Seattle and Washington in part because Uber served up rides in areas with a dearth of taxis. The rides, in black town cars, offered more pizazz and comfort than a taxi, but without the advance-booking that limo services typically require. Uber also proved masterful at harnessing publicity tied to one-time events. In Boston, for example, it offered free rides along a subway line that was shut
down for repairs. The company has adroitly tapped into social media to rally fans who attend mixers, lobby politicians, sign Facebook petitions and speak up at local hearings that affect Uber. In 2012, the city council in Washington was weighing a measure that would make Uber sedans cost five times the price of cabs until Uber fans bombarded council members with emails and tweets. The council then passed an amendment allowing Uber to do business, generating even more publicity. But there have been plenty of regulatory setbacks too. In some cities, such as Miami; Austin, Texas; and Vancouver, British Columbia, local regulations keep Uber out, typically by requiring minimum fares or minimum wait periods between the time a customer requests a ride and the time that customer steps into the car. In other areas where Uber already operates, lobbying by the taxi industry
has resulted in efforts to change the law to shut down app-based ride services. In Seattle, the city council is considering limiting such services to 100 part-time drivers a week and requiring special licenses. Uber chalked up some regulatory wins during 2013, including in Dallas and Denver. But the company does not do business in one quarter of the 20 largest cities in the United States. The taxi industry is also fighting Uber in court. In Chicago, local cab companies have filed a federal lawsuit alleging various illegal practices by Uber, including misleading marketing and unfair competition. Boston cabbies have filed a similar case. Uber declined to comment. California provides Ubers surest footing in regulatory terms: the states Public Utilities Commission gave app-based ride companies a green light in September. But in October, Uber, seeking to avoid CPUC oversight entirely, filed a petition for
rehearing, arguing the body does not have jurisdiction over technology companies. Meanwhile, Uber is going toe to toe with competitors such as Sidecar, which allows ordinary people to provide paid rides in their own cars. Uber has launched UberX, a lowerpriced service that uses midrange cars rather than the black town cars on which it built its reputation. Travis (Kalanick) is not ceding ground at any price point, said Bill Gurley, a partner at venture-capital firm Benchmark who has backed Uber since early 2011. Gurley and others are betting there are enough people willing to pay a premium even a large one for a reliable ride, or eventually for delivery services. One of Ubers innovations is so-called surge pricing, under which rates go up at times of high demand or low supply of cars. During a recent snowstorm in New York, some Uber users tweeted photos of notices from the company that their fare would be as much as 8.5 times normal. At Sidecar, by comparison, surge pricing is also used, but it is capped at three times the normal rates, a spokeswoman said. Kalanick defends surge pricing as a matter of freemarket principle and as the best way to assure that people can get a ride when they really need one. Youll always be notified in big, bold print if surge pricing is in effect, the company wrote in a Dec. 30 blog post, linking to the video of Kalanick explaining the policy. Many customers still perceive surge pricing as price gouging, and the policy will not endear the company to regulators. Yet even critics sometimes appear to sustain a love-hate relationship with Uber and its CEO. You can try to rationalize it, but it wont change the ill feelings most of us have toward your service, a Los Angeles customer calling herself Pasta Versaucy tweeted to Kalanick on Wednesday, in reference to high New Years Eve rates. A little while later, she sent out another tweet. Hypothetically speaking: can I order an @Uber to charter a burger to my house? Because I totally would.
Noreaster brought mosquitoes; woman sought organic solution

The Philadelphia Inquirer
Family figures out how to bug the bugs

By Diane Mastrull
An article in National Geographic about essential oils and their medicinal uses provided the spark for Greenerways. When the citronella that Bella planted in her backyard helped address the post-storm mosquitoes, she asked her parents about going into the organic bug spray business. Alan Neiburg, 67, had spent 33 years selling medical/surgical supplies. His grandchildren, who now total four, were his motivation for stepping out of retirement and into the organicproducts business. For his wife, it was the grandchildren, plus what she noticed in her teaching career all the sicknesses that go on and all the allergies that have been prevalent, said Sharon Neiburg, 61, a retired literacy coach for a local school district and now a facilitator for the University of Pennsylvanias Penn Literacy Network. Sharons 401(k) was used as seed money for Greenerways. She holds the title of company owner, to qualify it for financing and other considerations provided to women-owned businesses. A certified organic bottler in Gardena, Calif., helped the Neiburgs and Bella, formerly a sales executive in New York special-
As a mother-to-be in 2008, Jayme Bella had a lot going on in her life. A noreaster that left her northern New Jersey home flooded and infested with flying insects only added to the chaos. And then it set her on a course to entrepreneurship. Bella, now living in Langhorne, Pa., is the mother of two and chief operating officer of Greener Days LLC, founded in 2010 with her parents, Alan and Sharon Neiburg. The companys Greenerways Organic Bug Spray has garnered national and international sales and interest from QVC. There is a plan to launch a handand-surface spray cleaner in early 2014. Greenerways Organic also has ongoing research and development for a biodegradable organic handand-surface wipe, as well as what is believed would be the first certified-organic baby wipe. It was serendipity, Bella, 34, said of that noreaster, which sent her in search of an organic spray to kill the mosquitoes that had become part of her soggy home. Everything we found was filled with chemicals and DEET.

izing in jewelry and accessories, figure out the right amounts of oils for their bug spray, which is made from citronella, lemon grass and cedar oils, and triple-filtered water. Greenerways Organic Bug Spray hit the market in 2011, originally called BugIt-Off until Bella and her parents learned inclusion of the word off was an infringement of SC Johnson & Son Inc.s trademark for its Off! insect repellent. So Greenerways opted for the less creative name. It cost us a lot of money, because we had to change our labels, Alan Neiburg said. But sales took off as the company s principals headed to trade shows, where they made fruitful
connections with Australian, Japanese and Chinese distributors. Revenue grew 160 percent in 2013, Alan Neiburg said, declining to provide specific sales figures. The company is not yet profitable, but our losses get far less, he said. In 2012, sales dropped by one-third because Greenerways lost its Chinese distributor after the government there curtailed organic imports, Alan Neiburg said. Greenerways Organic Bug Spray is available in some food stores and at greenerdays.net. The 2ounce spray sells for $5.24; the 4-ounce size, $7.99. Because bugs are seasonal, cash flow has been in-
consistent, Alan Neiburg said. Securing accounts in Australia has helped even out revenue because bug season there lands when its fall and winter here. The seasonal nature of the business is why Greenerways is not expected on QVC until closer to spring in this country. The next question is, Will the folks who enjoy watching QVC on a daily basis love it? said Jeff Oliphant, whose J.W. Oliphant & Associates LLC in Connecticut brings products to market only at QVC. We think they will. He came to that conclusion after watching a demonstration: 250 mosquitoes in a box with an arm treated with Greenerways repellent
stayed away from the arm. If there is any obstacle to the companys success on QVC, Oliphant said, its how exciting, how useful, how new, how fresh, how Ive got to have it that we can make this live airing. Starting in January, an intern from Temple Universitys Fox School of Business and Management will help Greenerways develop a business plan and crowdfunding campaign for its next product-development phase: the wipes. The company also would welcome an investor with expertise in organic products, Alan Neiburg said. Sharon Neiburg has one particular pool in mind: Im dying to get on Shark Tank, she said.
Is 2014 going to be the year of 4K TV?

Models might be on par with where plasma sets were a few years ago
By Peter Suciu
Special to Tribune Newspapers
Introduced two years ago at the CES, formerly the Consumer Electronics Show, 4K TV certainly turned heads with its large screen sizes and crystal-clear pictures. The sets were also notable for their ultrahigh prices, and the first batch that finally reached the market in mid-2012 arrived with price tags comparable to a new car around $20,000 to $30,000. This year the sets have fallen in price, thus taking the familiar course seen with flat-panel plasma TVs. These started out in the realm of fantasy, moved to an almost acquirable dream-level item but have yet to land at big-box retailers as reality items that are expensive yet within most budgets. LGs LA9700 series of sets includes a 65-inch model that is priced at $6,500, which remains a dream for most, but it is on par with where 1080p plasma sets in that size were just a few years ago. Given time, it could become a reality sooner than later. 4K, or as the Consumer Electronics Association tried to dub it, UltraHD, is notable not only for its large screen size but also in the fact that it offers four times the resolution of a current-generation 1080p full HDTV set. The CEA defines UltraHD as one that displays at least 8 million active pixels. However, most viewers today will be unable to see any real difference in picture quality, but thats an issue of the content that can be presented on these sets. Thats because there is no actual 4K broadcast content yet, and it is unlikely that well be seeing much in the near future. Colin Dixon, founder and principal analyst at nScreenMedia, said that 2014 will be the year well see the first trials of 4K content. What we may see are a couple marquee events at the Winter Olympics and potentially a bit more with the World Cup later in the year. The technology hasnt completely settled yet, and issues remain, such as the level of security that Hollywood will accept. As a result, well see a limited amount of 4K content. That wont stop the manufacturers from pushing out sets, however, and 4K could be a repeat of the push for HDTV a decade ago. The sets arrived at retail before content was widely available from the broadcasters and cable providers; only later did packaged media such as Blu-ray make its debut. It wont be the year of mainstream adoption, but it will be the year of trials,
LG ELECTRONICS PHOTOS
This year, 4K TV sets have fallen in price. LGs LA9700 series includes a 65-inch model that is priced at $6,500.
LGs 84LM9600 ultrahigh definition TV is an 84-inch 4K model priced at $17,000.
Dixon added. We could see Netflix and other services starting with a limited offering of 4K, however. In fact, it could be services such as Netflix and other streaming providers, like Amazon Prime, that could get the 4K content to viewers first. This could give those services a leg up on cable or satellite. For these reasons it is also unlikely that 1080p TV is likely to go away any time
soon. Trials for 4K may likely begin in 2014, but it was only the 2012 London Olympics that were fully broadcast in 1080p, so widespread broadcast of 4K is many years away. The packaged media front isnt likely to come much faster. Even Sony, which is a bigger supporter of the 4K format, has released only a small number of Mastered in 4K Blu-ray releases, and as the name suggests, these are still 1080p discs, not true 4K. The other significant advantage that 4K could offer in the short term is that it could provide a bigger screen for viewers. As noted, todays 4K sets arent much more expensive than an LED or plasma set in the same size range of just a few years ago. Advantages of 4K are that the larger picture will look crisp and free of noticeable flaws even in smaller rooms as viewers will be much closer to the screen. While 720p content looked good on a 42-inch set, the improved resolution of full HD 1080p was most noticeable on 50-inch sets and bigger. The problem was that as
sets get larger, viewers need to be farther back, or else the pixels become more noticeable, as do any flaws in the picture. Thus, 4K could be the way to get even larger sets in the living room, which might seem unnecessary to many, but who would have thought that wed have 55-inch sets on so many walls today? The interesting irony with 4K is that the lack of native content could actually drive the price down quickly, as supply increases. Prices may need to fall for demand to pick up. TV-makers, led by pressure from makers such as Seiki and TCL, would push the market toward 4K just as 3D is now the norm, even if there is little 3D content and most people dont utilize that part of the sets functionality. In this regard, 4K could become akin to a high-end feature on some larger-screen TV models. You will see a ton of 4K TV sets at CES, said Dixon. Content wont be here, but there will be a lot of sets from all the manufacturers.
Write your career story

periences that might appeal to employers. The friend looked back and identified examples of times she had solved significant problems, then built strong stories around those examples. With a common theme identified and the stories woven into resumes and cover letters, the friend had three job offers within a month. Step back for a moment, and think about how we communicate with friends and family. We tell stories and relay anecdotes of our successes and failures. But our work lives tend to be one-dimensional side notes. I asked Slim why she thinks people fail to discuss their careers in a narrative way. I think its the way that we are socialized and the way we think about career tracks, she said. We think of work as something thats there to support us so we have a strong, secure foundation. This is your job and your vocation and not so much your craft or a part of who you are. To think that way now, she said, is to risk losing control of your story: If you choose to say that (telling your career story) isnt important, thats making a choice that your narrative will be controlled by other people or by a lack of information, which in todays job market is actually a detriment. A few of the key steps Slim offers for establishing what she calls your body of work include: Define your root. (Figure out whom you want to help, what kind of changes youd like to make in the world and what ideas drive you emotionally.) Name your ingredients. (These are your skills, life experiences and ideas the things that make you unique.) Choose your work mode. (Think about the work

As you create your body of work, you need to package it, to illustrate it, and to tie it together in a cohesive story.

youve done and when youve been at your best, and then consider what you want to be doing in the next phase of your career.) These are important things to think about, whether youre job searching or happily employed. If you dont examine where youve been, youll struggle to chart a sensible path toward where youd like to go. We no longer live in a working world where careers unfold at one company. People job hop, suffer layoffs and other setbacks, find new and unexpected paths to follow. Careers, more than ever, are journeys, and its incumbent on each of us to monitor and faithfully keep up on our work travelogues.
In Slims book, she wrote: No one is looking out for your career any more. You must find meaning, locate opportunities, sell yourself, and plan for failure, calamity, and unexpected disasters. That sounds a bit foreboding, but its accurate. Use the start of a new year to figure out your work story. It may take time, but it will help. And Im willing to bet it will be easier than riding a narwhal, nude or otherwise.

source of revenue for the government, legislation to close them needs to include spending cuts or other measures to offset the income lost in their shutdowns. The government doesnt feel any rush to shut down Fannie and Freddie, said Stuart Gabriel, director of UCLAs Ziman Center for Real Estate. They are profitable today, and they do provide the vital function of providing liquidity to the marketplace. Fannie and Freddie own or back more than $5 trillion worth of mortgages. The legislation to shut them down calls for a slow process to avoid damaging the housing recovery. Cecala estimated that about 62 percent of new mortgages in the third quarter were financed or funded by the companies. But lawmakers said they remain committed to shutting them down, arguing that taxpayers face losses for the mortgages backed by Fannie and Freddie if there is another housing market collapse. Even returning Fannie and Freddie to their previous role as so-called government-sponsored enterprises private companies that are federally chartered to fulfill a public mission would not solve that problem because there still would be the expectation officials would rescue them again, said Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va. No matter how you dress it up, it pretty much ends up with private-sector investors doing well when times are good and taxpayers on the hook when times are bad, and I just dont see how that is sustainable, Warner said. The Federal National Mortgage Association, the original name for Fannie Mae, was created in 1938 as a government agency to

help the housing market during the Great Depression. It purchased government-backed mortgages from banks so they would have more money to lend. Fannie later evolved into a private, for-profit company allowed to purchase private mortgages as well. In 1970, Congress created the Federal Home Mortgage Corp., which later adopted its nickname Freddie Mac as its formal name, to compete with Fannie. Now the two companies buy mortgages and pool them into securities that are sold to investors. The banks get more money to lend, and Fannie and Freddie get more money to buy mortgages, helping grease the housing finance system. Well before the subprime housing market crash, the companies had financial problems that included questionable ac-
counting practices in the early 2000s. But it was the housing market crash, which precipitated the Great Recession in late 2007, that seemed to seal their fate. Many conservatives blame Fannie and Freddie for causing the subprime bubble as they purchased questionable mortgages to meet home ownership goals set by Congress and Democratic and Republican presidential administrations. Many lawmakers arent impressed by the flow of money from Fannie and Freddie. Any investor who puts up $188 billion in the middle of a crisis should expect a lot more than a 1-to-1 return on your money before youre made whole, Warner said. jpuzzanghera@tribune.com
OBITUARIES
WILLIAM N. WEAVER JR. 1934-2013
Chicago lawyer embraced tech startups, fun at work

By Bob Goldsborough
Special to the Tribune
Chicago Daily Tribune

In 1412, according to tradition, Joan of Arc was born in Domremy, France. In 1540 Englands King Henry VIII married his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves. (The marriage lasted about six months.)

In 1967 U.S. Marines and
In 1950 Britain recog-
William N. Weaver Jr. made a specialty of working with technology companies during a 45-year legal career. He joined Epstein, Manilow & Sachnoff as an associate in 1964. The firm had opened a couple years earlier and employed five lawyers. He rose quickly and became a name partner in Sachnoff & Weaver, which had 160 lawyers before merging in 2007 with the national firm of Reed Smith. If ever there was a nonlawyer lawyer, that was Bill, said Chicago technology entrepreneur Andrew Flip Filipowski, a client of Mr. Weavers while running the companies Platinum Technology and DBMS in the 1980s and 1990s. He was the first guy to, in a special way, comprehend the opportunity that technology and software represented in this geography and was the pre-eminent guy working with a lot of entrepreneurs who were trying to build businesses back then. Mr. Weaver, 79, died of complications from emphysema Friday, Nov. 22, at his Streeterville home, said Frona Daskal, his wife of 34 years. Born in New Orleans, Mr. Weaver moved with his family to Chicagos Hyde Park neighborhood when his father joined the University of Chicagos Divinity School, where he eventually became dean of students. Mr. Weaver graduated from the University of Chicago Lab School and then got an undergraduate degree from Oberlin College.
He attended the University of Chicago Law School for two years before a hitch in the Army. He subsequently took night classes at John Marshall Law School, graduating in 1964. Mr. Weavers longtime law partner, Lowell Sachnoff, remembered hiring Mr. Weaver on the recommendation of a professor at John Marshall. We had lunch with him and we were so impressed with him, Sachnoff said. He had such a quick mind and a grasp, and he wrote like an angel. He didnt quite start the firm, but he came in in our second year, and it was fairly clear after we got a look at him that he was going to be a star. Mr. Weaver soon was promoted to be partner, and as two other partners retired, the firms name became Sachnoff & Weaver. By the early 1980s, Mr. Weaver began encouraging a casual dress code at a time when few other law firms were doing so. We were one of the very first firms to have a relaxed dress code, if not the first, Sachnoff said. We spent a lot of time agonizing where to draw the line but to still allow people to dress comfortably when they went to the firm. That was all Bill Weaver. He worked hard, and he played hard. Mr. Weaver also tried to create a fun environment in other ways, putting a pool table, dartboard and bridge table in his firms offices. Reed Smith partner Austin Hirsch, whom Mr. Weaver hired in 1973, recalled interviewing with Sachnoff & Weaver and seeing Mr. Weaver engrossed in a bridge game with three

other colleagues. I said to myself, This is the kind of place I want to work at, Hirsch said. The message that permeated the firm and was retained during Bills tenure during my practice years with him was work hard, play hard, take your work seriously but dont take yourself seriously. During the tech boom of the 1990s, Mr. Weaver placed his firm at the front and center of advising many Midwestern tech companies. He had a younger persons vision about technology, Hirsch said. He was the dean of that arena. Reed Smith partner Jeff Schumacher, who joined Mr. Weavers firm in 1978, called Mr. Weaver a great mentor to the firms younger lawyers and to clients. One thing he believed is that you needed to be a good businessman to be a good business lawyer, and that
you really needed to understand the clients business in order to give them good legal counsel, Schumacher said. And he was very explicit about saying that you zealously represent clients but you never compromise your principles. Schumacher said that Mr. Weaver insisted that lawyers should have fun practicing the law and being at work. He thought that if you enjoy what you do, youll do a better job at it and be more enthusiastic, he said. Filipowski recalled Mr. Weaver being willing to go beyond being an adviser and also placing his own money in some early-stage technology firms. He was willing to often even get involved with some of these technology guys by investing in their businesses, Filipowski said. He probably understood the technology business better than any other lawyer Ive ever known. Mr. Weaver retired in 2009. He sat on the board of the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois for 12 years and also was treasurer of the Disciples Divinity House at the University of Chicago. Bill was always a progressive, Sachnoff said. He was never political on one side or the other, but he was very progressive, and he joined the board of the ACLU and made remarkable contributions there. A prior marriage ended in divorce. Mr. Weaver is also survived by a daughter, Karin; a son, William N. Weaver III; two stepchildren; and 10 grandchildren. Services were held.

Bulls hopes rest on defense

Teams calling card tested more with struggling offense
By K.C. Johnson
Tribune reporter
BULLS
BCS CHAMPIONSHIP GAME FLORIDA STATE VS. AUBURN 7:30 P.M. MONDAY, ESPN
The Bulls Saturday morning shootaround ended and players sneaked glances at each other as if somebody had slipped them Get Out of Jail Free cards. It concluded after 50 minutes, 10 minutes shorter than this seasons norm and 25 minutes briefer than in seasons past. More surprisingly, coach Tom Thibodeau didnt call for defensive drills or film review with as much intensity as usual. (Saturday) was one of the greatest days, Taj Gibson said, smiling. We didnt really go hard in our defensive drills. I dont know why. And normally, we watch film and Thibs is like, Rewind that back. Hes making fun of you. Hes really on you because he wants you to be mad at yourself if you mess up. Gibson stopped and smiled again. But I love it, he said. Thats what it takes to win games. Indeed, the offense has sputtered along without Derrick Rose or much chemistry because of the myriad injuries, failing to crack 40 percent shooting a staggering 13 times. But the widespread health issues that have forced the rotation to be so disjointed havent affected the defense in the same way. In fact, minus occasional struggles to guard the 3-point line, dare it be said its reaching Thibodeau-like levels? Following Saturdays victory over the Hawks, the Bulls fifth in seven games, the Bulls ranked second behind the Pacers in allowing just 92.2 points per game. They trailed only the Pacers and Thunder in opponents field-goal percentage at .429. Even the poor opponents 3-point percentage of .375, which ranks 26th in the league, is offset somewhat by the Bulls sitting tied for fifth in allowing just 6.7 3-pointers per game. Players arent surprised. We have a defensive system, Joakim Noah said. And we work on it a lot. We work on it too much. Its crazy how much we work on it.

Auburn, riding amazing luck, faces skilled Seminoles squad

Is it Auburn, a team of destiny that narrowly escaped Washington State in the opener, lost at LSU by two touchdowns but somehow won the Southeastern Conference after two of the most improbable, back-to-back wins in college football history? Or is it Florida State, a team of dominance that crushed opponent after opponent in a weaker Atlantic Coast Conference? The Seminoles closest call this season was a 14-point win at Boston College. The only thing seemingly obstructing Florida States victory is the spike-strip of history. The SEC has won seven straight BCS titles and nine overall. The only SEC team to lose a BCS title game was LSU, which lost to conference mate Alabama. The SEC has dominated the BCS era and is looking to finish what it started 16 years after
PASADENA, Calif. The teams in Mondays final Bowl Championship Series national title game at the Rose Bowl took completely different roads. Florida State used the high-speed express lane on its way to 13-0, cruising past one opponent after another. Auburn (12-1) took the mountainous back route, navigating potholes, detours and a few angry Georgia Bulldogs. It doesnt matter now, theyre both here. So, which team takes home the crystal ball?

The Blackhawks success in shootouts remained as frozen as the 21,599 fans who braved a winter storm to make it to the United Center on Sunday night to catch a 3-2 loss to the Sharks. The Hawks lost their fourth consecutive shootout, dating to
Dec. 6, a little streak coach Joel Quenneville deemed a sore spot for the team. They are 4-6 in shootouts this season. Logan Couture and Joe Pavelski each sent a shot past Hawks goaltender Corey Crawford in the shootout to send the Sharks to victory. Jonathan Toews and Patrick Sharp missed their chances for the Hawks, who still extended a season-long point streak to 10 games. Theres no luck, Crawford said. Were losing points in a shootout. We have enough talent
to be winning those games, and were coming up short. Its definitely frustrating. But we have to look forward. We cant look back. Quenneville said Crawford was great after he made 40 saves to help keep the Hawks in a battle with a Sharks defense that held the Hawks scoreless through two periods. He started just his second game since he suffered a groin injury on Dec. 8. The Sharks led 1-0 before Niklas Hjalmarsson started the thaw

Tide fan sorry well, sort of

The Alabama football fan who attacked Oklahoma supporters at the Orange Bowl, apologized but then admitted that shed do it again. It had nothing to do about the ballgame, Michelle Pritchett told AL.com. It started when he started taunting my son. Im embarrassed. I love the Tide and I apologize to all the players and to Coach Saban. I want people to know that. Id had a couple of drinks, but I was not intoxicated. Michael Connolly, the Oklahoma student who Pritchett targeted, said the two sides were taunting each other and it was Pritchetts son who told them to come over if they wanted to fight. Pritchett, however, could not rule out a repeat performance. Id do it again if I had to, she said. Im not going to let anyone go after my son. Tribune newspapers
SAY ANYTHING
From comments on stories on chicagotribune.com/sports and email to sports@tribune.com (use SAY ANYTHING in the subject line) Its unfortunate, what happened in that final game. However Conte showed a severe degradation of skills throughout the season. His tackling was maybe the poorest on the team. ... The upside is, we all know he is physically and mentally capable of playing at a high level. The downside is, we dont know if he can remember how do to that. I wish him luck. Todd Y. Conte was the worst player on a historically bad defense. His play was an embarrassment on behalf of the franchise. Rodney Harrison is right and Conte should never be allowed to wear a Bears jersey again. Brian B.

While the shootout isnt his favorite way to decide a game, Wolves coach John Anderson is developing a fondness for it. Little wonder hes becoming a convert after the Wolves beat the Rockford IceHogs 4-3 in a shootout Sunday at Allstate Arena. It came on the heels of a 4-3 shootout victory Saturday over Iowa, also at home. Our goalies look good in it, and our shooters look good in it, so thats a pretty good combination, Anderson said. Keith Aucoin, Dmitrij Jaskin and Corey Locke scored in Sundays shootout, a night after the Wolves went 4-for-4 against the Wild. Rookie Jordan Binnington, who made 31 saves in his Wolves debut, stopped three of the four shooters he faced. Binnington was recalled from Kalamazoo of the ECHL on Saturday after Jake Allen was promoted to the parent Blues. It was the seventh home win in a row for the Wolves (19-13-1-2). They nearly had the victory wrapped up in regulation but allowed a power-play goal by Rockfords Mark McNeill with 47 seconds remaining. The Wolves turned a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 lead when forwards Sergey Andronov and Pat Cannone scored second-period goals seven seconds apart. Thats one second shy of the franchise record for fastest goals, set by Joe Motzko and Colin Stuart on Dec. 6, 2008, also against Rockford.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. In need of someone to fill in for preseason All-America forward Mitch McGary, Michigan found its answer during a 74-51 Big Ten win over Northwestern on Sunday. Michigan forwards Jordan Morgan and Jon Horford combined for 15 points and 16 rebounds in 38 total minutes to provide a spark and overcome a slow start. Theyre veteran guys, Northwestern coach Chris Collins said. They know what theyre supposed to do. They kind of have a two-headed monster now at that spot. Added Michigan coach John Beilein: Were finding ways to make up for the injury to Mitch. They are getting back to a rhythm where they are not looking over their shoulder. Sophomore forward Nik Stauskas led all scorers with 18 points, including a 5-for-10 performance from the field, while sophomore forward Glenn Robinson III chipped in with 12 points on 6-for-12 shooting to lead the Wolverines (10-4, 2-0).
The Wolverines lead was as large as 26 after redshirt sophomore Max Bielfeldt knocked down a 3-pointer with less than two minutes left. Drew Crawford led the Wildcats with 17 points, including 13 in the first half. Crawford cooled off in the second half, hitting just one more shot on 6-for-14 shooting. I thought he got tired, Collins said. They did a good job defensively and rotated some guys on him. The Wildcats (7-8, 0-2) were able to force tough shots and shut down a lengthy and fast offense in the first half, forcing Michigans big men to step up. But a 10-9 lead with 10:56 left in the first half was the last time the Wildcats would be on top. Without much help offensively, Crawford and the Wildcats offense failed to overcome a 12-4 run in the second half that pushed the Wolverines lead even further. It was the fourth straight game the Wildcats scored less than 60 points. What happens with us is that weve had such a hard time scoring over the course of time it really affects the other areas of the game, Collins said. Were going to need some guys to step up and help out offensively.

According to report, head coaching job is Whisenhunts to lose

Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt appears to be the front-runner to land the Lions head coaching job, ESPN reported Sunday. According to the report, which is based on information from a source, the Lions job is Whistenhunts to lose. Whisenhunt and Lions general manager Martin Mayhew spent two seasons as teammates with the Redskins in 1989 and 1990. Whisenhunt, 51, was head coach of the Cardinals for six seasons. He led them to a Super Bowl appearance following the 2008 season but was fired after last season. The Lions cant hire Whisenhunt until after the Chargers season is over. They play the Broncos next weekend in the divisional round. Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden appears to be another candidate for the Lions head coaching job.
No rush: The Eagles havent committed to Nick Foles as their franchise quarterback for one reason: They dont have to. Because Foles was chosen in the third round of the 2012 draft, the Eagles arent financially strapped by a franchise quarterback-like contract, nor can they extend him to a franchise quarterback-like contract even if they wanted to. Drafted players have to play under the terms of their rookie contracts through the third year, according to the NFLs collective bargaining agreement. So the Eagles have one more year to play with house money when it comes to Foles. The Saints Shayne Graham spoiled Foles playoff debut Saturday night, kicking a 32-yard field goal as time expired for a 26-24 victory. The Eagles had scored a go-ahead touchdown on a 3-yard pass from Foles to tight end Zach Ertz with 4:54 left in the game. Saints setback: The Saints
CINCINNATI Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers didnt have the best passing day of his career Sunday. He didnt need it. The Chargers rushed for 196 yards against the NFLs fifthranked run defense and cruised to a 27-10 victory against the Bengals in an AFC wild card playoff game. We asked a lot of our defense today and they came up with three big turnovers, said Rivers, who was 12 of 16 for 128 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions. We didnt turn it over, which is always big in the playoffs. The Chargers averaged 4.9 yards per rush against a team that allowed just 96.5 yards per game during the regular season. Ronnie Brown had 77 yards on eight carries, including a 58-yard touchdown with 2 minutes, 17 seconds left to seal the victory, while Danny Woodhead had 54 yards and a touchdown and Ryan Mathews 52 yards. We know playing the Bengals what kind of team they are, Chargers coach Mike McCoy said. We knew it was going to be a slugfest from the very first snap. The Chargers won for the fifth consecutive week and advanced to play Sunday at top-seeded Denver. The Chargers and Broncos split two meetings this season, each winning on the road. We will be confident, said Rivers, whose team got a big boost with its 27-20 win in Denver on Dec. 12. Weve got to be careful were not overconfident, which we wont be. Cincinnati came to our place and won five weeks ago. Rivers 4-yard touchdown toss to Ladarius Green with 6:46 left in the third quarter gave the Chargers the lead for good at 14-10. The Chargers forced four turnovers, including two interceptions and a fumble by Andy Dalton in the second half, and shut out the AFC North champions in the second half. The Bengals outgained the Chargers 439-318. The Bengals, who were 8-0 at home this season, were hoping to end a 23-year playoff drought but instead went one-and-done in the postseason for the fifth time under Marvin Lewis. The finality of things hurts when you lose in the playoffs, Lewis said. The biggest difference was turnovers. We gave them points and field position, and we failed to get any on our side. Dalton is the only quarterback in franchise history to lead the team to three straight postseason appearances but was miserable each time. He was 29-for-51 for 334 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Green was a non-factor (three catches, 34 yards).

Phil Dawsons 33-yard field goal as time expired pushed his 49ers past the host Packers on Sunday.
NFC 49ERS 23, PACKERS 20
Packers eliminated on last-second FG; Kaepernick burns em again on frigid day

By Dan Wiederer
Tribune reporter
Kicked to curb
GREEN BAY Phil Dawson will turn 39 later this month. Hes at the tail end of his 15th season. And after spending 14 years in Cleveland with the Browns, the 49ers kicker isnt exactly accustomed to the postseason stage. So on Sunday, when his big moment arrived, he made sure to appreciate the opportunity more than fear the pressure. Three seconds remained. A 33-yard field-goal attempt awaited to break a 20-20 tie and beat the Packers in the opening round of the playoffs. Said Dawson: Ive waited a long time to win a playoff game. He did just that Sunday, as time expired, connecting on his game-winning kick as the 49ers downed the Packers 23-20. In an Arctic chill that included wind chills of 15 degrees below zero. With nary a blade of grass left in the middle of Lambeau Field. And with a winter wind gusting from sideline to sideline. Dawson prepares himself for such kicks and felt his range was probably 46 or 47 yards on that end of the field. But You cant prepare all the way, he said. Not for zero degrees and a left-to-right wind. Now Dawson is a playoff hero, the Packers season is over and the 49ers are off to Carolina this weekend for a rematch with the Panthers. I owe that kick to the whole offense, Dawson said. Hes right. After the Packers tied the game with 5 minutes, 6 seconds left on a 24-yard field goal by Mason Crosby, the 49ers made sure not to let Aaron Rodgers back on the stage to continue his magic act. The games final drive lasted 15 plays, chewed up 65 yards and used every tick the 49ers had when they got the ball back. Included were three clutch third-down conversions, two from quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The first a 17-yard completion to Michael Crabtree over the middle moved the chains on third-and-10 from the 49ers 31 with four minutes left. Five snaps later, on thirdand-9 from the Packers 38, Kaepernick recognized a blitz, couldnt find Crabtree open and used his agility and long strides to turn a near-sack into an 11-yard gain. It didnt look good to me, Kaepernick said. So I tried to make something happen. Kaepernick made plays throughout the game, finishing with 227 passing yards and a touchdown, plus 98 yards on the ground. So much for the Packers
hopes of riding Rodgers return deep into January. That appeared possible early in the fourth quarter when, for the second consecutive week, the elusive quarterback delivered another dash of fourth-down brilliance. On fourth-and-2 from the San Francisco 30, Rodgers somehow wriggled and bunny-hopped out of the grasp of defensive tackle Ray McDonald, fleeing the pocket and hitting Randall Cobb over the top of the defense for 26 yards. That set up John Kuhns 1-yard touchdown run for a 17-13 Packers lead. But after Kaepernick answered with a 28-yard touchdown toss to Vernon Davis, Rodgers (17-for-26, 177 yards, one TD) and the Packers stalled inside the San Francisco 10 on their possession, settling for a field goal. A sturdy 49ers defense, which delivered four sacks, forced four three-and-outs and held the Packers to 4.0 yards per rush, proving its toughness. A hungry 49ers team, thus, booked its next playoff trip, confirming coach Jim Harbaughs confidence that they could handle the frigid Wisconsin weather and beat a dangerous Packers squad. I couldnt wait for them to prove it, Harbaugh said. dwiederer@tribune.com Twitter @danwiederer
fear that linebacker Parys Haralson has a torn pectoral muscle, Fox Sports reported. Haralson left Saturdays victory in the first half with a chest injury. Additional tests will be taken to confirm the extent of the injury, but it is likely the Saints will be without Haralson for the rest of the playoffs. fensive coordinator Perry Fewell is scheduled to interview for the Redskins head coaching job Monday.
Giant challenge: Giants de-
Paganos win weekend

ANDREW WEBER/USA TODAY SPORTS
The Chargers Danny Woodhead, left, celebrates his first-quarter touchdown Sunday in Cincinnati.
the Patriots in a divisional game Saturday night, and Johns Chargers will play Sunday at the top-seeded Broncos. In the NFC, the top-seeded Seahawks will play host Saturday to the Saints, who moved on by winning at Philadelphia. And Sunday, with a 23-20 victory in the frigid cold of Green Bay, the 49ers moved on for a Sunday matchup at Carolina.
Sam Pagano, along with his wife, Diana, and their daughter, Jennifer, spent the weekend huddled in his home office, shut off from the world, living and dying with every snap. We dont invite people over for games, he said. Ive got a couple buddies that are coaches. But I dont like all the talking and chatter, like Im watching in a bar. If I was watching Tampa Bay and the Texans, maybe. But these are our sons. We just sweat it out and pray and cuss and get mad. And cheer. I talked to Chuck when he got home Saturday night, he said. He was excited, of course. We laughed, and he said, I really
gave them a great halftime talk, Dad. We were down 21, and then we come out and go down by 28 that did a lot of good! But as long as youve got (quarterback) Andrew Luck, youve got a chance. Sunday, the Chargers were seven-point underdogs and making their first playoff appearance since 2009. Few people gave them much of a chance, especially with the way they barely made it into the playoffs as a sixth seed, needing to win four in a row for even a prayer of qualifying. The Chargers shut out the high-scoring Bengals in the second half, and finished with
two interceptions and two fumble recoveries. When you get four turnovers on the road in a playoff game, youre not going to lose, unless we stink it up on offense, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said. It was an awesome performance by them. If the Colts and Chargers were to win their next games, they would be playing each other for the right to go to the Super Bowl. Thats too much for Sam to digest now. Well, he said with a laugh, well worry about that one if it happens. sfarmer@tribune.com
FSU hopes to kill Auburns luck

Tennessee won it all in 1998. If you trust in history, you must believe in the SEC, right? One thing I can tell you about history, its in the past, Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston said last week. Im not worried about what history has said. Im worried about whats happening today, whats happening on Monday. Common sense says Winston is right. An independent arbiter, after analyzing the statistics, would rule heavily in the Semi-
noles favor. Scoring offense: Florida State averages 53 points to Auburns 40. Scoring defense: Florida State allows 10.7 points per game to Auburns 24. Florida State brings an offense averaging 529 yards per game, facing an Auburn defense that allows an average of 423. We have not been, by all standards, a really good defense this year, Auburn defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson said. But we always know how to play in the moment. Weve made critical stops at critical times.
Auburns defense has been good in red-zone efficiency, ranking eighth nationally. But that may not matter much if Florida State is scoring on gaping-hole plays beyond the 20. The eye-ball evidence points to Florida State finally snapping the SECs dominance in title games. If you could end that, it would be good, Seminoles defensive back Terrence Brooks said. You see it all year, you see a lot of analysts saying this is the best conference, the best players in football. It dont mean nothing to me.
What Auburn has going for it is unprecedented some would say spooky karma. Dont discount the fairy-dust factor if the Tigers can keep it close. There are things you cant explain in sports and Auburn is one of them. It was one thing to win the Georgia game on a Hail Mary pass on fourth-and 18, when Nick Marshalls heave bounced off a defenders hands into the hands of Ricardo Louis. It was immediately dubbed Prayer at Jordan-Hare. I dont believe in luck, Florida State cornerback Lamarcus Joyner said of that play last week. But that was luck!
Not even a Leprechaun would argue. Two weeks later, that play was topped when Auburn defeated Alabama on Chris Davis 100-yard return of a 57-yard missed field goal as time expired. It may go down as the greatest final second in college football. Maybe Monday is the game in which Auburns luck runs out. Maybe it will be Winstons day on his 20th birthday. Were not looking for miracles, Winston said. Were looking to play football and do what we do. Auburn, meanwhile, hopes to work some more magic. cdufresne@tribune.com

Myers, league to discuss hit

Sabres defenseman Tyler Myers will have a hearing with NHL disciplinary officials Monday to discuss his hit on Devils center Dainius Zubrus on Saturday night. Myers received a two-minute minor for an illegal check to the head of Zubrus at 7:02 of the third period. Zubrus stayed in the game. The league said an illegal check to the head is one of the categories that can be considered for supplemental discipline. The Kings assigned goalie Martin Jones to the Manchester Monarchs of the American Hockey League. Jones won his first eight NHL starts and became the second goalie in league history to win his first eight games, matching Bob Froese of the 1982-83 Flyers. Sports Xchange

Duncan Keith is one of a handful of Blackhawks players in the running to make the Canadian Olympic team when it is announced Tuesday. The defenseman, who was born in Winnipeg and was named the 2010 Norris Trophy winner as the leagues best defenseman, has boosted that probability with what Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said has been a new level of play this season. Keith, who played for Canada in the 2010 Olympics, equaled season highs with three assists and a plus-four rating against the Devils on Friday. Entering Sundays game against the Sharks, he had 17 points in the previous 12 games and led all defensemen in the NHL with 39 assists. Hes defended better. His gap has been better, Quenneville said. Offensively, his play selection or his puck patience, hes added another level or element to it. Consistency is the best way to measure a defenseman, and thats what were seeing. Hawks captain Jonathan Toews, who is a lock to be named to Canadas team, said Keiths offensive success has provided a big boost to the Hawks. He tries to find an edge any way he can, Toews said. Hes committed to getting better every single day. Some of those days when hes not scoring points, hes still one of the best players in the league because of the little things he does.
progress? The Hawks penalty kill has been a sore spot this season, but entering Sunday they were successful in 26 of their previous 29 penalty-kill situations. The Hawks still ranked just 28th in the NHL with a 76.7 percent success rate through Saturday, but Quenneville has seen improvement. I know we had a nicer stretch, Quenneville said. We havent taken many penalties, which helps, and I just think the movement has been better. Were getting a chance to get more pressure off their entries or clears and not letting them get set up. Thats an ongoing challenge for us, but Ive seen some progress. PK

hawks forward Daniel Carcillo could make a surprise return to the United Center this week. The Kings on Saturday traded Carcillo to the Rangers, who play in Chicago on Wednesday. The Hawks traded Carcillo to the Kings over the summer.
A return: Former Black-
with a goal off a feed from Toews just 1 minute, 27 seconds into the third period. Michal Rozsival scored his first goal of the season 4:01 into the period on a slap shot from just past the blue line to put the Hawks ahead 2-1. But Sharks forward Brent Burns scored the equalizer midway through the third period to send the game to overtime and on to the shootout. We didnt really start the way we wanted to, Hawks forward Kris Versteeg said. We came out in the third and played our game. Theyre a team that doesnt like to give you much space with the puck, and they also like to hold on to the puck. After the Sharks spent an extended stretch in the Hawks zone in the first period, they finally capitalized to pull ahead 1-0 with 9:48 to play in the period. Couture sent a pass from behind the net to defenseman Jason Demers, who was waiting at the right dot. He pushed a one-timer past Crawford for the Sharks lead and his third goal of the season.

Sharks goalie Alex Stalock, playing in his 10th NHL game this season, made 33 saves. The Hawks had a prime opportunity to score midway through the second. Defenseman Duncan Keith rifled a shot toward the goal, where Andrew Shaw remained waiting to poke in a stray puck. But Stalock gained control before Shaw had the chance, and the Hawks remained scoreless. They got the lead, and they were sitting back and getting things out of their end, Quenneville said. They got inside, and we were on the outside for most of the game. The Hawks will play five of their next six games at the United Center, including Wednesdays meeting with the Rangers. ckane@tribune.com Twitter @ChiTribKane

Hopes hinge on defense

Noah interrupted a follow-up question with one of his sly smiles. No, you dont understand, he said. We work on it to the point where its annoying how much we work on it. We work on defense every day. This repetition and attention to detail breeds accountability. Its why Gibson can still be angry at himself for blowing an assignment that led to a late 3-pointer by Kyle Korver, even after it got waved off after video review because it didnt beat the shot clock. In the timeout (during the review), Thibs was
great. He told me what I did wrong, Gibson said. And on the next play, I got a steal. Thats the thing about Thibs. He pushes you to be better. The Bulls, obviously, are going to need to maintain this defensive prowess if they continue muddling along on offense, stuck in the mud at a league-worst 91.3 points per game. Such ineptitude places great pressure on the defense and allows for little margin of error. Weve got a core of guys I think that understand (defense) and are really good at it, Thibodeau said. And our guys put the effort forth. Thats what its all about. As a team, theyve committed to that. We know if we defend and rebound and keep our turnovers down, were going to be in position to win. When youre short-handed, thats really what you have to do. Its also what you have to do in every

Celtics to send Lee to Grizzlies

The Celtics and Grizzlies are on the verge of finalizing a trade that will send guard Jerryd Bayless to Boston in exchange for shooting guard Courtney Lee, ESPN.com reported Sunday. A trade call with the league office is scheduled for Monday, according to the report. Bayless is averaging 8.0 points and 2.0 assists this season. He is making $3.1 million in the final year of his contract. The Celtics have been trying to move Lees contract, which has two more seasons and more than $11 million left after this season. According to reports, a deal sending Andrew Bynum to the Lakers for Pau Gasol is progressing and could be completed by Monday. The remainder of Bynums contract becomes guaranteed Tuesday and the Lakers want to complete the trade before then because they plan to waive Bynum for salary cap savings. ...

game, even when youre completely healthy. The Bulls are about as close to being that as they will be, with Rose out for the season and Carlos Boozer expected back this week from a sore right knee. The defense cant rest. Youve got Thibs. Youve got the same core. Thats why were still defending, Gibson said. And weve got a bunch of winners on our team. We still put the work in practice as if we were 20-4 because we know we can turn this around. kcjohnson@tribune.com Twitter @kcjhoop

Strong new Texas coach

Charlie Strong was officially named head coach of Texas, the school announced Sunday. Strong leaves Louisville to replace Mack Brown, who retired after 16 seasons. To follow a future Hall of Fame coach like Mack Brown, who built a program that had great success and a reputation of doing it with class and integrity, is extra special, Strong said in a statement. The national championship, BCS bowl wins and all he accomplished in 16 years built on the Longhorn legacy and makes it such an exciting place to be. Strong compiled a 37-15 record in four seasons as head coach at Louisville, including 23-3 the last two seasons. His teams also won two conference titles and three of four bowl game appearances, including a win over Florida in the 2012 Sugar Bowl and over Miami last week in the Russell Athletic Bowl. Our committee and former lettermen helped create an extensive selection criteria and after visiting with Charlie, it was clear he met them all, athletic director Steve Patterson said. Texas has to pay Louisville a $4.375 million buyout for hiring Strong.

BCS CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AUBURN VS. FLORIDA STATE, 7:30 P.M. MONDAY, ESPN
The lineup
KIM KLEMENT/USA TODAY SPORTS PHOTO
An ungrateful guest
The day before his 49ers broke Packers fans hearts with a 23-20 victory, San Francisco right tackle Anthony Davis ripped Appleton, Wis., where the team was staying. Ex-wrestler Ric Flair had given a pep talk to the 49ers on Saturday. To mark the occasion, Davis tweeted this: Nature Boy Ric Flair flew into this (expletive) hole to show us some love. Davis message was retweeted more than 1,300 times, but also provoked some nasty responses. Not knowing when to let it go, Davis then tweeted: Can you defend your argument on this place not being a (expletive) hole? Flair, incidentally, is a Charlotte resident and hugely popular in that North Carolina city. And with the win Sunday, the 49ers now face the Panthers. Remains to be seen where and to whom Flair will give his next pep talk. Tribune news services
AUBURN RUNNING GAME VS. FLORIDA STATE RUN DEFENSE
Auburn is the top rushing team in major college football, averaging 335.7 yards per game. Tre Mason was a Heisman Trophy finalist after rushing for 1,621 yards and 22 touchdowns behind a line led by center Reese Dismukes. Mason, a junior, ran for 304 yards and four touchdowns on 46 carries against Missouri in the SEC title game. Quarterback Nick Marshall has gained 1,023 yards and run for 11 touchdowns. Florida States defensive front features tackles Timmy Jernigan and Nile Lawrence-Stample and linebackers Christian Jones, Terrance Smith and Telvin Smith. The Seminoles have given up only five rushing touchdowns fewest in the nation and rank 13th against the run.
Edge: Auburn.
AUBURN PASSING GAME VS. FLORIDA STATE PASS DEFENSE
Marshall has completed 60 percent of his passes, 12 for touchdowns, with five interceptions. He has had only one pass intercepted in his last eight games. Sammie Coates is the top receiver with 38 receptions and seven touchdowns. He averages 22 yards per catch. Ricardo Louis, who caught the game-winning touchdown pass against Georgia, Marcus Davis and Quan Bray each have 20 or more receptions. Florida State cornerbacks Lamarcus Joyner and P.J. Williams and safeties Terrence Brooks and Jalen Ramsey helped Florida State rank first nationally in pass defense. The Seminoles are tied for first with 25 interceptions.
Edge: Florida State.

THE QUOTE
If my life depended on it and somebody had to catch a ball, itd be Crab.

49ers coach Jim Harbaugh on receiver Michael Crabtree, who helped lead Niners past the Packers on Sunday.
Golden says hes staying

University of Miami coach Al Golden said Sunday he is not leaving the school to take another head coaching job. Golden was considered a candidate for the Penn State job and reportedly interviewed on Saturday. There has been much speculation concerning my future at the University of Miami, Golden said in a statement. While I am flattered that our progress at The U during an extremely difficult period of time is recognized, I am also appreciative of just what we have here at UM and I am not a candidate for another position. We are eager to welcome our student athletes back to campus next week and visit with prospective student-athletes and their families beginning Jan. 15. Golden is 22-15 in three years at Miami while the school has been under NCAA scrutiny due to past allegations. Sports Xchange

Lynch fined for silence

Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch has been fined $50,000 by the NFL for violating the leagues media policy, the NFL Network reported on Sunday. Lynch, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, was penalized for declining to speak to the media throughout the regular season, a team source told NFL Media. The 27-year-old running back finally broke his silence on Friday when he chatted briefly about his 1,257-yard, 12-touchdown campaign that helped the Seahawks earn the top seed in the NFC. However, Lynch spoke for less than 90 seconds in total as he gave abbreviated replies to every question. Asked by one reporter how his season had gone, Lynch replied: Gone pretty well. Asked how he felt about Seattles chances in the playoffs, he replied: I feel good. I like our chances. Finally, Lynch was reminded that the playoff game Saturday will be the first at CenturyLink Field since his famed Beast Quake run against the Saints in 2011 and asked whether he had anything similar in store this time. I just hope to win, boss, he said. Reuters, Seattle Times

APPRECIATION
In the 50s, the Everly Brothers arrived like a mirage from some deep Southern dream boyishly handsome, guitarplaying siblings whose voices blended into something haunted, almost mystical. When we first heard it, it blew us away, Paul McCartney once said of the Everlys All I Have to Do Is Dream, one of a string of hits Phil and Don Everly had in the late 50s and early 60s that transformed pop music. The sound of All I Have to Do Is Dream echoed through the minds of the still-nascent Beatles, Byrds, Beach Boys and countless other soon-to-be-icons. Chet Atkins tremolo-enhanced guitar underlines the Everlys longing, conveyed by harmonies that had been honed since childhood.

Phil Everly died Friday in Burbank, Calif., at 74. He was born in Chicago in 1939.
Phil Everly, who died Friday at age 74, once explained that their sound evolved in a way only shared by family members. He and Don pronounced and phrased words, even accented syllables, the same way because they had been listening to each other talk and sing their entire lives. It brought an ache and an intimacy to nearly everything the brothers recorded. Phil, the younger of the two, was born in Chicago in 1939, but his stay here was brief. The family, with deep roots in Kentucky, had moved to the Midwest and eventually wound up in Iowa in search of musical opportunities for its patriarch, Ike Everly, who hosted a radio show with his wife, Margaret, and their two young sons. When the family moved back south, to Tennessee, in the 50s, Atkins befriended the brothers. The legendary guitarist guided their early career, and the duo landed on Cadence Records, where they crashed the pop charts
If the adage that youre only as old as you feel is true, then Buddy Guy is decades younger than his 77 years suggest. Playing the opening night of a 16-date residency at his namesake club, Legends, the Chicago icon showed no signs of slowing down during a sprawling 130-minute set. While most of the packed crowd sat for the duration, Guy couldnt even stand still for more than a few seconds. The guitarists contagious energy and youthful flair have long been part of his annual January homestands, a tradition that continues to attract local and international fans. (Tickets to several performances are available.) While Guy rarely strays from a successful formula thats been in place for years, the venues intimacy and 21-and-over policy normally guarantee concertgoers that they will see a grittier, feistier version of the musician than the one who appears at all-ages events. True to form, Guy repeated signature moves many of which, like the perpetually grinning frontman, never seem to grow old. Dressed in an eye-popping magenta suit, Guy waded into the crowd to get up-close with patrons, slashing ferocious solos as he

Edith comes into her own on Downton Abbey

Theres something to be said about being the other sister. Lady Edith, the second of three daughters to the Earl of Grantham in the upstairs-downstairs international sensation Downton Abbey, has wrested compassion from overlooked middle siblings far and wide with her woeful existence. The Jan Brady of post-Edwardian Yorkshire, in the course of three seasons, has endured no shortage of Marcia! Marcia! Marcia! moments. There is the combative relationship with her older, seemingly prettier sister Mary (Michelle Dockery), complete with cutting one-liners that would surely muster a smile out of the Dowager Countess. There are her attempts at acquiring skills, whether it be driving, farming or writing, that are met with acrimony from certain family members. Then theres the matter of her love life, a sorrowful display of men who get engaged to her sister and die, are too old and jilt her at the altar or are legally married to a woman confined at a mental asylum. Its all kind of depressingly

Inside Llewyn Davis is critics darling

Inside Llewyn Davis, Joel and Ethan Coens study of a struggling New York folk singer in 1961, was the big winner Saturday at the National Society of Film Critics. The film received four awards, including best film, actor (Oscar Isaac), director (Coens) and cinematography (Bruno Delbonnel). American Hustle and 12 Years a Slave placed second and third in the voting for best film, while Chiwetel Ejiofor for Slave and Robert Redford for All Is Lost were runners-up in the acting category. Alfonso Cuaron came in second in the directing category for Gravity and Steven McQueen placed third for 12 Years a Slave. The National Society of Film Critics win is redemption for Llewyn Davis, which was snubbed this past week for a Producers Guild of America Award nomination, one of the leading indicators for a best film Oscar nod, and was denied a Writers Guild of America Award nomination for the Coens original screenplay. 12 Years a Slave, which is also one of the leading contenders for the Academy Awards, failed to receive any awards. The film also had disappointing showings last month with the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and New York Film Critics Circle. Cate Blanchett won the lead actress award for her role as a troubled widow in Woody Allens Blue Jasmine. James Franco earned a supporting actor win for his role in Spring Breakers. Jennifer Lawrence won in the supporting actress category for American Hustle. The society, which was founded in 1966 and includes principal critics from major papers and outlets, often disagrees with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences over their top choices.

After making his feature directorial debut in 2011 with his fierce, unsparing adaptation of Shakespeares Coriolanus, Ralph Fiennes is in the directors chair once again for The Invisible Woman, which opened Christmas Day. Based on the book by Claire Tomalin, the romantic drama chronicles the relationship between Charles Dickens and actress Nelly Ternan (Felicity Jones). The writer of such masterpieces as Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities and A Christmas Carol was married with 10 children when he met the teenager, who toiled onstage with her mother and two older sisters. Dickens separated from his wife to be with Nelly, but as a proper Victorian gentleman he could never divorce and marry her. So Nelly became the Invisible Woman. Fiennes, 51, earned best actor Oscar nominations for his roles in the Oscarwinning Schindlers List (1993) and The English Patient (1996). He chatted recently about The Invisible Woman. The following is an edited transcript. Q: Charles Dickens seems very much like the characters in his books funny, warm, larger than life, romantic, tragic and flawed. A: Hes a man of contradictions. There is a sort of boyishness to him, a boyish energy. I think he could be domineering and then he had a sort of madcap quality to him as well, combined with this manic, furious work ethic. His energy for work was terrifying. He was unstoppable. Q: He also could be cruel, especially in the one scene where he sends his wife to give Nelly a gift of jewelry. A: Of course, its cruel, but people are cruel. We cant expect our great artists to be saints. I think he had a cruel streak. He was a dominating father. I think he was the kind of father who very rarely praised his children. He was disappointed in his sons and only one of them, Henry, went on to be professionally really successful. Even with his daughters, he was very domineering about who she should marry. There is a quote of Katie Dickens saying, My father was not a good man, but he was a great man. Q: I realized watching this film I knew very little about Dickens, let alone his relationship with Nelly. A: I was ignorant about Dickens. Q: Was that a hindrance or a help when you read Abi Morgans script based on Claire Tomalins book?

Ralph Fiennes directs The Invisible Woman, which opened Christmas Day.
Married: Actor Justin Bartha is a married man, and were guessing his ceremony came off with less drama than his character in The Hangover experienced. Bartha tied the knot Saturday with Lia Smith on the island of Oahu, People.com reports. Reese Witherspoon and her husband, Jim Toth, were among the guests.
A: In a perverse way Im kind of grateful. I read the script, and I read Claire Tomalins book, and I was completely enthralled by the way she describes this 19th-century theater world and the background of the Ternan family. These women had to find a survival strategy because their working life was extremely limited. ... Its a very difficult profession, and you have a brief moment in the limelight. So she sets that up and brings in Dickens. Q: Felicity Jones captures the youthful spirit of the teenager whom Dickens fell in love with as well as her resiliency after his death and the bravery to re-invent herself. A: What she suggests subtly is so full and so rich. She is very intelligent. You feel that active mind, and I love that. She has this magic gift the camera can be on her and I feel always curious to know what she is holding inside herself. Also, she has to play this woman in her late teens and then 15 years older. I loved the way she was able to suggest that difference. Its a hard age difference. I wanted someone who could suggest that change. Q: Would you ever give up acting to concentrate solely on directing? A: I wouldnt give up acting, but directing is a new path. It has been full of challenges and scary moments when you wonder whether it is going to work. But I have been able to work with amazing people. I have loved it. suking@tribune.com

Harmonies shaped pop, made country rock

while Phil was still a teenager. Between 1957 and 1962, they scored 25 top 40 hits on Cadence and Warner Bros., including Bye Bye Love, Wake Up Little Susie, Bird Dog and Cathys Clown. Their sound was different: The Everlys were a rock n roll duo with a singing style that evoked the forlorn harmonies of the hardest, most plaintive country duos. The timeless cry of the Stanley, Delmore and Louvin Brothers had seeped into their young consciousness, nurtured by their musician parents. Its all there in the 1958 album Songs Our Daddy Taught Us, which came out at the height of their success and yet painted a stark, moving portrait of their roots in deep country and gospel. After the Beatles arrived
in America in 1964, the Everly Brothers chart reign and that of most homegrown artists all but ended. But the Beatles championed the work of Phil and Don as a major influence, and the duo continued to record. Their 1968 Roots album is a crucial link in the development of country rock. The duo broke up in 1973, but their songs remained as popular as ever: Linda Ronstadt had a huge hit with Phils When Will I Be Loved in 1975, and McCartney name-checked Phil and Don in his million-selling 1976 hit Let Em In. The duo reunited for a trio of 80s albums with the enthusiastic help of such superfans as McCartney, Dave Edmunds and Mark Knopfler, and the Everlys music was the subject of no fewer than three album-

The raw, rhythmic drive of Dons acoustic guitar announces the Everlys arrival on the pop charts with this, their first million-selling single. The song, written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, was rejected by other bigger name acts until the Everlys used it to immortalize their signature mix of country twang and rock n roll drive. It was later covered by Ray Charles, Roy Orbison, Simon and Garfunkel and George Harrison, among others.

20/20 sells 2.43M copies, fewest for top-seller in years

Fewer artists hit sales high notes

Justin Timberlake scored the top-selling album of 2013 with The 20/20 Experience and Robin Thicke ruled the singles chart with the runaway hit Blurred Lines, according to year-end sales figures released by Nielsen SoundScan. But these two sales monarchs presided over a kingdom that continued to erode in significant ways. Timberlakes album sold 2.43 million copies during the year, the only album to top the 2 million mark in 2013 and the lowest figure for the years biggest-selling album since Nielsen SoundScan started reporting retail sales in 1991. Thats well less than the previous years best-selling title, Adeles 21, which sold 4.41 million copies during 2012, and less than half what 21 did during its first year of release in 2011 to claim the title that year with 5.82 million copies. The trend reflected a yearly drop in overall album sales of 8 percent compared with 2012, from 315.96 million to 289.41 million units. The same trend was felt in the sales of digital songs, with 2013 being the first year in which total sales dropped from the previous year. They slid 6 percent, from 1.34 billion in 2012 to 1.26 billion last year, SoundScan reports. In the realm of singles, Thickes hit, which featured Pharrell and T.I., was the top seller with 6.5 million units, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Thrift Shop landing not far behind at 6.15 million. But they were the only two songs to cross the 6 million sales mark during the year a peak that only two dozen other singles have ever reached. The one bright spot in terms of sales growth was in vinyl, which continues its resurgence, although the slice of the total pie represented by vinyl remains minuscule. Vinyl album sales increased 33 percent, up to 6.1 million, from 4.55 million a year earlier. The top-selling vinyl title was Daft Punks Random Access Memories, with 49,000 copies. Beyonce made the top 10 with her surprise release even though it was on the chart for just three weeks before the year ended. And she and hubby Jay Z, Billboard noted, became the first wife-husband pair to post top 10 sellers separately in the same year. The number of songs that sold more than 1 million downloads during the year continued to slide, dropping from 112 in 2011 to 108 in 2012 to 106 in 2013. The total crossing the 2 million sales mark also fell, from 41 in 2012 to 38, the same number that hit that plateau two years earlier. jrlewis@tribune.com

Oscar nod a given for Streep, isnt it?

Negative reviews for August: Osage County probably wont hurt chances for the actress, but the critics calling her out might. Still, shes a legend, and the academy loves crazy performances.

For the last several weeks, the Oscar race for lead actress felt fairly settled, with five familiar faces, each of them previous winners Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine), Sandra Bullock (Gravity), Judi Dench (Philomena), Emma Thompson (Saving Mr. Banks) and Meryl Streep (August: Osage County) as the likely nominees. Then, August: Osage County opened Friday in Los Angeles and New York, more than three months after the flamboyant tale of family dysfunction premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, a bumpy debut that led to some subsequent tinkering that softened the movies ending. The movies arrival in those theaters (it opens Friday in Chicago) coincided with the first day that film academy members could begin voting online. And if Oscar voters read the reviews, it might have given them pause for consideration as the notices werent the kind nor-
mally associated with an awards-season contender. A.O. Scott, writing in The New York Times, observed that the movies plot, which includes adultery, divorce and incest, was secondary to the spectacle the actors make of themselves. Scott went on to call the film a thespian cage match. Within a circumscribed space, a bunch of unquestionably talented performers is assembled with no instructions other than to top one another, he continued. One twitchy confession must be excelled by another. The same with smoldering, sarcastic speeches, explosions of tears, wistful jags of nostalgia and imperious gazes of disgust. Tribune Newspapers film critic Kenneth Turan was equally unimpressed, likening Osage County to that branch of reality TV where dysfunctional characters, whether active or passive, make a public display of their wretched lives. If you think your family is difficult, seeing the Westons will set you straight, Turan writes. Unless you are actually
related to them, however, caring about these people is out of the question. The negative reviews may have no effect beyond dampening the movies commercial prospects. (Prestige dramas like August depend more on reviews than studio tentpole movies do.) The majority of Oscar pundits still believe that Streep, playing the movies messed-up matriarch, will receive yet another Oscar nomination for her scenery-chewing work in the film. The thinking: Shes Streep. She has been nominated 17 times. You think the academy is going to ignore a speech-slurring, pill-popping, profanity-filled performance? Then again, the number of critics calling out the actress has been notable. Yes, feting Streep this time of year seems to be a habit with the academy, even when the work in question falls short of excellence. But with August: Osage County, Streeps legend, which casts a long shadow over everything around it, could work against her. Remember Amy Adams in Julie and Julia? Anne Hathaway in The
Devil Wears Prada? Anyone at all in The Iron Lady? Scott asks in his review. Of course not. Here, Ms. Streep smokes, rants, bites her fingers, slurs her speech and spews obscenities with the gusto of a tornado laying waste to a small town. Sounds like fun, doesnt it? Actually, it sounds like the very kind of wild and crazy performance that academy members have often rewarded over the years. (Screamin Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman and Anthony Hopkins lip-smacking turn in The Silence of the Lambs are two of our favorites.) Actors branch voters love ham around the holidays. But when it comes to overacting, is there a line dividing Hoo-ha and devastating act of God? And, if so, did Streep cross that divide in Osage County? Its one of the more interesting facets of this Oscar season, and one thats now up to academy members to decide. Well see what they think Jan. 16, when the nominations are announced. gwhipp@tribune.com

Edith comes into her own on Downton Abbey

great, so says Laura Carmichael, the proprietor of the perpetually afflicted character. Is that awful of me to say? Its just that I think all the negative things that have happened, and her always feeling like shes on the sidelines, have made her a far more interesting woman to me. I dont want people to cry for her. On the contrary, people have found their spirit animal in Lady Edith. Her fortunes or misfortunes, rather have inspired all the trappings of a 21stcentury wonder: e-cards, memes, Tumblr sites and fake Twitter accounts. Huffington Post has crowned her a badass, and Slate, in a piece that ran in February, wrote of the open-tochange, plainer sister: Shes basically the Carrie Bradshaw of the mid-war set. She represents the future. Its time for (creator and writer) Julian Fellowes to make use of that spinster. As the fourth season made its stateside debut Sunday on PBS, its been six months since the death of Downton heir Matthew Crawley, and a gloom still hovers over the estate as the roaring 20s beckon. Lady luck, meanwhile, seems to finally be with Lady Edith. She continues to write her own column; her newspaper editor, Michael Gregson, is in love with her and willing to go to great lengths to be with her; and her wardrobe has become significantly beaded and chic. Its all enough to get Carmichaels ruby redstained lips to crack a smirk

Charles Edwards plays Michael Gregson with Laura Carmichael as Lady Edith in a scene from Season 4 of the Masterpiece TV series Downton Abbey.
during a recent visit to Los Angeles. Its a really strong (season) for Edith, the 27-yearold British actress said with a slight crinkle in her voice, as if still getting acclimated to the idea. Its a fascinating time for women. We really get to play those moral dilemmas and social changes through Edith. Thats assuming American viewers, like some of the Downton Abbey brethren, are adverse to an advancing world. This season has already aired overseas, and the Internet is chock full of spoilers from Britain about a controversial predicament for Edith. Fellowes is all too aware of the ire that the delay between the British and U.S. airings has drawn from viewers and critics. Production on its fifth season will commence next month, with the BritishU.S. rollout plan expected
to be in place again. In a perfect world, everyone would see it at the same time, Fellowes said. Its a tricky thing, particularly when it comes to keeping plot points from getting out. But the show has done very well with its January rollouts, away from the fray of the September launches, despite the lag. The English series settled into a ratings groove on the public broadcasting network. Last season illustrated just how the goingson of dignified aristocrats and their servants have gripped the American zeitgeist; it averaged a 7.7 rating and 11.5 million viewers across its sevenweek run, helping it claim the title of the highest-rated PBS drama of all time. Just as Downton Abbey made PBS hip to obsess over SNL spoofed it, Katy Perry used it to get through marital woes, The Soup has parodied it it
has also served as quite the springboard for some of its stars, Carmichael among them. Prior to her consignment to adversity as Lady Edith, the then-aspiring actress worked as a receptionist at a doctors office. I was God-awful at it, she says. I was always forgetting to file stuff and I was wretched at answering the phones. She was about to take on a stint in a local production of Shakespeares Twelfth Night when her agent called about an audition for some period drama. I was like, Oh God, Im going to have to turn down like six weeks of acting it wasnt even the longest job in the world! just to say Yes, my lord? I thought I was auditioning to play a maid because it was all so hush-hush, she said, noting that she still has the enough to feel vintage floral dress she auditioned
in. Of course, in hindsight, playing a maid would have been quite all right. But Edith is who I was destined to be. I never looked at her as the bad one. I looked at her like Oh, my God, her story is so sad. Carmichael revealed casting director Jill Trevellick urged her to play the part with the idea that Edith is a young Violet (aka Dowager Countess). I hold on to that, Carmichael said. I think Edith would have been the most conventional of the three of them; I think she wanted the life of her grandmother: to marry well and be a lady of the house and throw very formal dinner parties. I think thats all she fought for in those initial series, and I think that changed through the war. A metamorphosis buoyed by Carmichaels own reticent ambition, Fellowes said. Rather than becoming a hermit and living in that humiliation, she, encouraged by Matthew and Granny, finds a different path. Shes hungry for more. In that way, shes very much like Laura. They have an appetite to grow, to learn. You can see it in her eyes when shes on set, the look of someone taking it all in. I bet if she could take notes, she would. Carmichael, also like her fictional persona, is the middle of three sisters. But itd be hard to call her the dowdy one; on this day her cheeks and lips have color, shes wearing skinny jeans, and theres no pout in sight. I dont get recognized a lot, as you can imagine, she said, before doing her best American accent to note
the sort of feedback she does get: Oh, my God, you are rather pretty or You look so fat on TV! And while the actress stresses that she doesnt consider herself to be as unlucky as Edith, she does concede that she shares some of her feistiness. I might be a bit more bossy with my sisters, she said bashfully. My sisters and I do nothing but hug and cry in a very different way than the Crawley sisters. But I have to say, I do love the scene where Edith calls Mary a slut. I just love it, because I would never have the will to say something like that out loud. She means it with everything inside her. The animosity stops on the sets at Highclere Castle in rural England where the series is filmed. In the real, modern world, Carmichael and Dockery have a sisterly bond, notably in terms of their admiration of female pop stars. Beyonce is a big part of our lives, Dockery said. And weve seen Rihanna in concert twice together. We like some of the filthy songs, what can I say. I think we prepped for my birthday night out in New York earlier this year by playing Found Love in a Hopeless Place. Its just how we get on. A fact Carmichael was all too pleased to confirm. Lady Edith might benefit from a little dancing to a Beyonce song in those moments where shes too uptight. Everyone wants to see her happy; maybe thats what will get her there. Or Ryan Gosling for a mate.

worked the room like a confident politician. He strolled out the front door and disappeared for an instant, leaving a trail of distortion in his wake. He collaborated with guests (his son Greg and daughter Shawnna). He embraced the role of historian, demonstrating techniques of influential guitarists who left their mark on the genre he fiercely champions in the face of waning mainstream interest. Guy told stories about listening to AM radio stations as a child in Louisiana, and how their airing of jazz, spirituals and the blues informed his approach. Lamenting the limitations of todays sta-
Buddy Guys annual January homestand is a tradition that continues to attract local and international fans.
tions, Guy proceeded to mix and match styles at will, often within the same song. He blended funk, soul, avant-garde and rock, changing tempos on a whim or abruptly ending tunes when a different thought crossed his mind. Moving from one extreme to another, he caused notes to sting, bite and moan before promptly allowing quiet to dominate, touching his strings with utmost
delicacy and tenderness. Such creative unpredictability and improvisation even factored into tributes to Guitar Slim (The Things That I Used to Do), Little Walter (Last Night) and Eric Clapton (Creams Strange Brew). Yet whether his guitar mirrored the percolating Indian tones of a sitar on Skin Deep or mimicked the deadly screech of a divebombing plane on an over-
driven rendition of I Just Want to Make Love to You, Guy remained in control, the command owing to his fluid fingers, robust vocals and sharp backing band. I got kind of rusty, he announced after blistering ears with the live-wire opener Damn Right, Ive Got the Blues. Akin to many of his double-entendre lyrics and bawdy narratives, the comment drew laughs. Indeed, for all of Guys blues cheerleading, his most persuasive argument on behalf of the style relates to his carrying on a custom that traces back to 1920s Delta pioneer Charley Patton: good, old-fashioned showmanship that makes people want to be in his presence. ctc-arts@tribune.com

For some movies, facts not in the way of a good story

By John Horn
Tribune Newspapers
5-year-olds questions about death are normal

that some people believe you see God and some dont, some believe in heaven and some dont, and that no one who is alive can be sure we can only believe. I also see these larger questions as completely sensible, and answering them truthfully as appropriate, for any child who is trying to process the wider world. Even if theyre years from having to deal with a human death, theyll still notice an unlucky squirrel in the road. But different kids process things differently, so not asking is normal too. siblings. Our widowed, elderly mother lives in a retirement community that requires our financial support to help pay for it (its not luxurious by any standards, but clean, comfortable and safe). One sibling was unemployed last year. So we let him out of financial support until he was on his feet again. He and spouse are working again (for several months now) but are not providing financial support despite direct requests to do so. Brother has not even acknowledged my most recent request. I am angry and resentful because, of course, the rest of us have financial obligations too, and yet we all manage to provide support (by the way, the amount is far less than $100 per month). What can I do to encourage brother to start paying again? Sibling
Hax: Drop it. Its not right for your brother to duck this without explanation, but hes doing it, so your choices are to suck it up or shake him down. Leave it to his conscience and be right with your own and leave room for the possibility that he just needs more time to catch up. Dear Carolyn: I have five
It may not be factual, but its truthful. Its an argument that wouldnt survive in a court of law and would spark derision in a presidential debate. But when it comes to movies, its vital guidance, especially when so many of 2013s Oscar-contending films are being researched for their accuracy. It suggests that certain liberties can help create a compelling drama, as long as they dont torpedo the storys essential authenticity. I first heard the factual versus truthful parallel from director Danny Boyle, who had just adapted Aron Ralstons memoir Between a Rock and a Hard Place for the 2010 movie 127 Hours. Ralston had been hypervigilant over the pageto-screen translation, insisting that Boyle had to correct the smallest missteps: Ralstons truck, he told the director, pulled into a parking space from the left, not the right. Concerned that Ralston was counting grains of sand rather than enjoying the beach, Boyle explained his poetic license: It may not be factual, but its truthful. Considering the recent crop of fact-based movies, in which embellishments have jeopardized the underlying films legitimacy, Boyles maxim has been tested to the breaking point. Several news organizations now examine the accuracy of big releases as if they were campaign advertisements, and its not just biographies that are subject to strict scrutiny. Even the makers of the fictional thriller Gravity have been forced to explicate their scientific research. Among the awardcontending 2013 movies based, loosely or not, on real-life events are 12 Years a Slave, Captain Phillips, Fruitvale Station, Saving Mr. Banks, The Wolf of Wall Street, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, Philomena, Dallas Buyers Club and American Hustle (although director David O. Russell adds this caveat in a caption that starts the film: Some of this actually happened). Whats notable about some of the movies under the truth-squad microscope is that they are being adjudicated less for what

Tell Me About It Adapted from a recent online discussion. old has been asking a lot of questions about dying such as what happens when you die, do you see God, how old are you when you die which eventually leads to a question about whether a young person can die. Is this normal for the age? I never experienced this with my older child. We have not had a recent death in the family that might trigger these questions. Anonymous normal, but any time youre worried and trying to figure out what the range of normal behavior is for a child, its better to ask someone on the ground versus someone in the ether like me, because that person would have the benefit of context and follow-up questions in answering you. Choose someone who knows you and your child, who is a veteran at dealing with matters of child development teacher, pediatrician, cleric, a particularly astute parent and whose judgment you trust. The 10-buck answer (or free answer, via your local library) is Lifetimes by Bryan Mellonie and Robert Ingpen. Its a matter-offact but gentle way to explain death to a child. The way I see it and the way I dealt with it with my kids relentless grilling is that death is an ordinary, natural yet often sad part of life. I did tell them that everything that lives does eventually die, that people die, that most people live more than 70 years but some die sooner, even children, though thats very, very rare. I told them

they include but, rather, for what they leave out. The excisions inevitably depict the films central character more favorably, including trimming Walt Disneys anti-Semitic friends and union-busting beliefs from Saving Mr. Banks; steering clear of accusations that the skipper of the Maersk Alabama sailed too close to the Somali coast in Captain Phillips; and disregarding the plight of Jordan Belforts stock-swindled victims in The Wolf of Wall Street. The people behind these films have defended their work aggressively, and its obvious why filmmakers and actors hit red carpets as ready to clarify their narrative choices as to spell out who designed their evening wear. If you can artfully deflect criticism of your artistic departures, as Ben Affleck pre-emptively did with 2012s Argo, in which almost the entire third act was concocted, you can win the best picture Oscar. But if your fabrications become more prominent than the movie itself, as befell 1999s The Hurricane, which sanitized its protagonists criminal and military history, your awards chances can vanish. The trickiest territory is where the central facts are disputed. Last year, Sonys Zero Dark Thirty went down in Oscar flames after critics, including U.S. senators, said the film falsely asserted that torture helped locate Osama bin Laden. Sony didnt respond promptly to the attacks, and Zero Dark Thirty was discredited. In recent weeks, Paul
Greengrass has taken the offensive in describing why his Captain Phillips is accurate, even if it compresses certain events and alters some details. Im 100 percent satisfied that the picture we present of these events in the film, including the role (played) by Captain Phillips, is authentic, the British director said in an online chat that was largely focused on defending the films truthfulness. In talking about Saving Mr. Banks with my colleague Rebecca Keegan, Tom Hanks (who plays Disney) said the films screenplay, about the creative tussle in making Mary Poppins, was never focused on the studio chiefs political views. Everybody asks about the strike and the antiSemitism. But by 1961 it was far enough in the past, Hanks said. (The film also omitted some of the worst behavior of author P.L. Travers, played by Emma Thompson.) You can argue about what was left out of Captain Phillips and Saving Mr. Banks, but the films, nevertheless, preserve their essential truths: The former remains the story of a freighter captain kidnapped by Somali pirates, rich in detail about the motivations and struggles of his captors, while the latter is still a look at how Travers scrapped in Hollywood, complete with specific scenes of her back-and-forth with the Mary Poppins creators. Critics havent been giving The Wolf of Wall Street the same pass, saying it tells only one side of the tale. When I asked screen-
writer Terence Winter if in making a movie about Belfort, who was convicted of money laundering and securities fraud, he and director Martin Scorsese ever considered depicting his victims, he immediately said no. But several of those whom Belfort fleeced said any true biography of the Wall Street hustler is incomplete without any reckoning of the workingclass people whose savings accounts he emptied and lives he ruined. The daughter of one former Belfort associate went so far as to write an open letter to Scorsese and Wolf of Wall Street star Leonardo DiCaprio, saying the movie glorifies Belforts conduct and ignores the human consequences of his criminal deeds. In talking to Tribune Newspapers Glenn Whipp, DiCaprio agreed that the movie doesnt judge Belfort, arguing instead that films with such moral compasses dont last. What lasts is a filmmaker being honest about the portrayal of who these people are, and (Scorsese) doesnt try to sugarcoat or give some false sense of sympathy. He doesnt try to apologize for the actions. He just shows it the way it is. DiCaprios defense unintentionally proves the films critics point: That The Wolf of Wall Street actually could be factual the complaint isnt that Belfort didnt do what hes shown doing without really being truthful. And if that label sticks, the film might be a tough sell with awards voters. jhorn@tribune.com

Not-secret Santas gifts inspire a lump of guilt

already gaining weight before the holidays, and I feel pretty confident that I added a few pounds over the past week or so. I am really mad at myself. I need to lose, not gain. Even though I know this, I dont seem to make smart choices that will help me get anywhere close to my goal. I want to lose about 40 pounds, but the cake and cookies just looked too good for me to resist. I hate to say it, but I have very little discipline on this front. Even though I know that I need to do something, it ends up being just a thought in my head. How can I really do something? Ready for a Change

Discovery aims to strike gold with Klondike

By Alan Eyerly
Tribune Newspapers
The Discovery Channel has struck pay dirt with reality shows such as Gold Rush, Gold Fever, Jungle Gold and Bering Sea Gold. Now, Discovery is digging for treasure in a new vein with Klondike, its first scripted miniseries. The period drama, which premieres Jan. 20, is set during the Klondike gold rush and stars Richard Madden, formerly Robb Stark, king of the North, on Game of Thrones. His character, Bill Haskell, eagerly abandons a life of East Coast comfort to seek adventure and fortune in the rugged Yukon Territory. Whats the fascination with gold at Discovery? The genre is successful for us, says Eileen ONeill, Discovery Communications group president and a Klondike executive producer. The dream of achieving wealth with a pick and shovel lies at the heart of Klondike as it re-creates the human stampede to Canadas northwest wilderness in the late 1890s. While most of the more than 100,000 miners returned home empty-handed, a few struck it rich. Given that other cable networks enjoy a head start in the scripted-drama game, is Discovery at a

disadvantage? Brad Adgate, director of research for Horizon Media, doesnt think so. Networks like History Channel have proved there is an appetite for historically based miniseries that attract 10-million-plus viewers, Adgate says. The screenplay for Klondike was primarily written by one of the executive producers, Paul Scheuring (Prison Break, A Man Apart). Based on Charlotte Grays book Gold Diggers: Striking It Rich in the Klondike, the tale focuses on the struggle for wealth and survival in Dawson City, a remote and initially lawless boomtown. Directed in Alberta, Canada, by Simon Cellan Jones (Treme, Generation Kill), Klondike co-stars Abbie Cornish
(Sucker Punch) as Belinda Mulrooney, a savvy entrepreneur who dominates the hotel, restaurant and sawmill businesses. Also featured are Academy Award nominees Sam Shepard (The Right Stuff) and Tim Roth (Rob Roy). Shepard plays Father Judge, a Catholic priest risking it all to save wayward souls. And Roth is the Count, a ruthless land baron employing a gang of cutthroats. Madden often worked in harsh environments during his three seasons on Game of Thrones, but he says the challenges were far greater during four months of location work on Klondike. He faced snowstorms at an elevation of 8,000 feet, freezing rain and endless mud, plus 17-hour filming schedules.
One of his tougher stunts involved being knocked out of a boat in river rapids and swimming to shore in frigid water. I was nearly hypothermic at the end of one of those days, the Scottish actor recalls. When filming shifted to a lower elevation for the Dawson City scenes, Madden figured his job would become easier. He didnt anticipate the unrelenting downpours. It was so wet. Water was just running off me, he says. That wasnt a rain machine. That was weather. I never thought Id say it, but I wished I was back on the mountain. Klondike begins in 1897 as childhood friends Bill and Byron Epstein (Augustus Prew) graduate from college in New York City. They could have played it safe by pursuing comfortable but probably boring careers. Instead, they head west into the unknown, following the advice of poet Ralph Waldo Emerson. Do not go where the path may lead, Emerson famously wrote. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. With high spirits and high hopes, Bill and Byron begin a trek of more than 4,500 miles to Bonanza Creek, where gold has been discovered.
people at my job gave me gifts for Christmas, and I felt uncomfortable because I didnt get anything for them. We werent supposed to exchange gifts outside of the Secret Santa thing we do, in which each person picks another to give a small gift to. I did that, but these two who gave me nice gifts are people I like for sure. It was really awkward. I thanked them, but then thought I should run to the store and get something for them. The thing is, I wont see them until after New Years Day, so it may make it awkward all over again. What should I do? I want these women to know I appreciate them and their generosity. Giftless
Dear Giftless: Take a deep breath and relax. You are not required to give a person a gift just because you received one. What you should do is graciously offer your thanks for the gift and the thought behind it. To complete the cycle of giving is to let the person know how grateful you are. You do not need to go shopping for these people for after-NewYears-Day gifts. If you do want to do something special for these women, consider inviting them individually or together for lunch or drinks your treat. No need to say that this is your gift to them. Just enjoy each other and stay in the moment.
good sign that you recognize the position you are in right now. It means a lot that you are clear that you need to lose weight and even that you know what some of your trigger foods are. You also need help. Start by getting a complete physical from your doctor to be clear about your health status. Ask your doctor for any medical guidance for weight loss. Consider going to Weight Watchers. Theres something powerful about having to go to a weekly meeting where you get on a scale and track your weight in the company of others with similar goals. Weight Watchers teaches people to eat responsibly and in the right portion size for your weight goal. Visit weightwatchers.com for ideas. Good luck!

these days? Im an OK catch in todays world. I have little debt, a steady job that I love, I cook, I clean, enjoy life, have hobbies and am not too bad looking. But I find that after a few dates with a woman, she begins to ask about my baggage. I admit to not having a perfect past, and I reply to the question with honesty and openness. Its at about that point that the women I attract seem to get weird. If they are OK with my imperfect past, they latch onto me for dear life and are no longer the women I got to know casually just a week or two before. When I tell them that this change is not working for me, I suddenly become the evil villain. When I end the relationship because they dont reciprocate my values or because I have seen a change that I do not like, they will attack me. They revert to high school name calling, anger and manipulation to keep the relationship. Amy, this is only after three weeks and four or five dates! How can I end a relationship that is barely a relationship? Is it too much to expect to be treated like an adult? Frustrated Good Guy
out my feelings, and the more I dig into them, the more confused and depressed I get. I am afraid of hurting my husband, my kids, the rest of my extended family and the man I have fallen for. No matter what decision I make, I know I am going to hurt someone, and I cant bear the thought of that. What should I do? Confused and Sad some comfort to know that this is a common issue at your stage in life. You have been with your husband since you were a teenager. The bloom may well be off the rose in terms of your animal attraction to him. You love him but wonder if youre still in love with him. You have three young children who complete (and deplete) you. You can power through this challenge by making choices to recommit and rekindle your relationship with your husband; (professional counseling would help). He should be your best friend. This process is not easy, but it is definitely possible, and if you succeed you will look back on this period of your life and smack your head and say, What was I thinking?
Dear Amy: You should have told Sober to get someone to videotape his friends drunken flirting. Then get the group of friends together to view the video and pull an intervention on Brandy. Arresting her for assault will end almost any chance of getting her into treatment for an obviously serious drinking problem. Addictions Counselor

Dear Confused: I hope it brings you
Dear Frustrated: If you find yourself the X factor in a repeating pattern, and you want the pattern to change, then you will have to change. If you are meeting women on Eharpy.com, for instance, then you might want to rethink. Otherwise, slow down. I get the feeling that you are perhaps leaping into physical relationships (with attendant pillow talk/sharing) before you have adequately checked for crazy. Dont become intimate, emotionally or physically, too fast. You also need to learn how to break up. Blaming the other person for changing (or blaming her for anything) is not necessary. The best way to break off a new relationship is to use the old standby: Its not you, its me. Dear Amy: I am in my late 20s and have been married for six years (and with my husband for 10 years). We have three beautiful kids. I have recently fallen in love with another man. He is my best friend. I still love my husband, but I am questioning what kind of love it is. I have tried to sort
gested that recording this assault scene (it was not flirting) would shine a bright light on Brandys problem.
