GOP takesnew tack on‘Obamacare’

By DONNA CASSATA andRICARDO ALONSO–ZALDIVAR

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – “Obamacare” escapedunharmed from the government shutdownRepublicans hoped would stop it, but just asquickly they have opened a new line of attack– one handed to them by the administrationitself.

While Congress was arguing, PresidentBarack Obama’s plan to expand coverage forthe uninsured suffered a self-inflicted wound.A computer system seemingly designed bygremlins gummed up the first open enrollmentseason. After nearly three weeks, it’s still notfixed.

Republicans hope to ride thatand other defects they see in thelaw into the 2014 congressionalelections. Four Democratic sen-ators are facing re-election forthe first time since they votedfor the Affordable Care Act, andtheir defeat is critical to GOP as-pirations for a Senate majority.

Democrats say that’s justmore wishful thinking, if not ob-session.

Although Obama’s law re-mains divisive, only 29 percentof the public favors its completerepeal, according to a recentGallup poll. The business-ori-ented wing of the Republicanparty wants to move on to otherissues. Americans may be grow-ing weary of the health carefight.

“This is the law of the land at this point,”said Michael Weaver, a self-employed pho-tographer from rural southern Illinois who’sbeen uninsured for about a year. “We need tostop the arguing and move forward to make itwork.”

It took him about a week and half, butWeaver kept going back to the healthcare.govwebsite until he was able to open an accountand apply for a tax credit that will reduce hispremiums. He’s not completely finished be-cause he hasn’t selected an insurance plan, buthe’s been able to browse options.

It beats providing page after page of person-al health information to insurance companies,Weaver said.

5K for Clinton Rosette has ‘zombies’ chasing runners

Runningfor their‘lives’

By FELIX [email protected]

DeKALB – Runners of athree-mile race Sunday foundone heart-pounding reason tosprint to the finish line: zom-bies.

After the race began at 8 a.m.at Hopkins Park in DeKalb,the undead were unleashed onthe runners, who had to runthrough several streets andbike paths and make it to thefinish line with their lives in-tact. Participants were outfit-ted with life lines – or flags thezombies needed to collect to killthem.

The idea for the race camefrom the Clinton Rosette Mid-dle School Parent Teacher As-sociation, which uses it to raisefunds to provide technology,

field trips and programmingfor students at Clinton RosetteMiddle School. Jamie Vilet,president of the association,said they wanted to host a 5Krace that stood out from other5K races in the area.

“Zombies seem to be all therage right now, and we want-ed to do something nobody elsewas doing around here,” shesaid.

STEMfest puts ‘fun’ into science, math

By ANDREA [email protected]

DeKALB – There was aparty Saturday at NorthernIllinois University’s Convoca-tion Center.

A DJ played music from amobile cart equipped with asound system and bubble ma-chine. Participants wore 3-Dglasses near the neon lightsand lasers.

The festivities were all partof STEMfest, an event to makethe fields of science, technolo-gy, engineering and math fun

for children.“Science can be fun,”

8-year-old Pilar Martinezsaid. “I learned that here andat school also.”

The event featured a laserlab, robotics field, LEGO dis-plays and a haunted physicslab.

NIU physics professor Ya-suo Ito was at a booth in whichparticipants could take wand-like Van de Graaff generatorsand to levitate aluminum foil.

“We’re showing them thebasics of simple physics,”Ito said. “By doing this, they

can feel physics directly. It’sall about getting them to askwhy. That’s the most import-ant part.”

When children ask why, itshows they are more interest-ed in learning about physics,Ito said.

Montgomery residentDouglas Hughes was at STEM-fest with his wife, daughterand son.

Hughes, a molecular biolo-gist, said it was good to exposehis kids to this type of thing.

“I’d like to have him growa passion with science and

learning things,” Hughes saidof his son, Mason. “Even ifyou don’t go into science, itmakes you think critically.”

Mason was looking at aball that could expand andcontract by pulling on a rope.

“When it’s bigger, it movesslower, and when you make itsmaller, it’s faster,” he said.

Rochelle resident CayceGroves was at the hauntedphysics lab with her daugh-ter, a member of Girl ScoutTroop 1168 who could earnGirl Scout badges by being atSTEMfest.

8FACE TIME WITH ...

Margit Liesche’s mother was a hum-

ble person who mostly kept to herself.

That, coupled with her mother’s

experiences living in Hungary and

leaving as a refugee, was enough to

inspire Liesche to write a book about

the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.

Liesche, a DeKalb native, will give a

presentation and sign copies of her

book, “Triptych,” at 7 p.m. Thursday at

Barnes & Noble, 2439 Sycamore Road

in DeKalb.

She recently spoke with reporter

Andrea Azzo about the book and what

sparked her interest in writing it.

Azzo: What can you tell us about yourmother?

Liesche: Once she moved to the

States [from Hungary], she main-

tained her old traditions and customs.

That inspired me to think about what

influence Hungary might have had, my

mother’s way of life and how she was,

and how that might have influenced

me as her daughter. My parents did

missionary work in China. Hungary

had been taken over by communists,

and they would not allow my parents

back. They thought about coming to

the States for a short while and going

back, but they ended up staying here.

That sense of loss and displacement

was very obvious to a child. I admire

her very much. She went to China

during very primitive times. When

they were in China, they had four kids

there, and one of them was delivered

by my father. She was in charge of the

dispensary treating ill people, and she

had malaria while she was there. I

thought of her as an incredibly strong

person to have survived all that.

Azzo: How much did your parents tellyou about the Hungarian Revolution?

Liesche: We saw it on TV, and people

were pleading for help. It was at this

moment that my parents were just

beside themselves and frantic because

all of their family was there. Obvious-

ly, the revolution was not going well.

There had been an implication that the

U.N. and U.S. would come to aid the

revolutionaries, but no one came to

their aid. The revolution went on for 13

days. It was a real David and Goliath

fight. There were stories of hardship.

They’re very personal, and some of

the stories I heard from people became

part of the life of some characters [in

the book]. A lot of things I read in

books and about personal accounts fed

into the characters.

Azzo: Are there any local connections

in the book?

Liesche: One of the characters

lives in a DeKalb-esque town. She’s a

librarian and an English as a Second

Language teacher.

Azzo: What do you think your mother

would think about the book if she read it?

Liesche: In 2003, I wrote the story

as an essay tribute to my mother. She

had dementia then. She was ill and in

her 90s. Even with dementia, I read it

with her. She’d nod and say, “Oh, yes.

Oh, yes.” It made me feel good to do a

tribute to her. From there, I wanted to

tell a bigger story.

Legislation allowing on-line betting on horse racingexpires at the end of January.Race dates at Illinois race-tracks would be severely cutif lawmakers don’t take actionto renew the betting law andgive the state’s racing boardaccess to the money the wa-gering generates – about 30percent of the board’s annu-al budget. The racing boardis also seeking supplementalfunding from lawmakers tocover a $725,000 shortfall fromthe spring, when the Legisla-ture failed to renew the on-line betting law for severalmonths.

The issue could come upwhen the General Assembly

convenes Tuesday. It could bepart of a debate over a largergambling expansion packagenext year.

Illinois Harness Horse-men’s Association PresidentDave McCaffrey calls the situ-ation a “crucial moment in Il-linois racing.” McCaffrey toldassociation members in anOct. 17 letter that there havebeen numerous meetings inrecent weeks with lawmakers,and it is his “great hope thatan agreement will be reachedand a bill is passed.”

Officials from ArlingtonInternational Racecoursehave also spent recent weekslobbying officials to extendthe current law.

“This form of wagering isthe only type of activity thathas shown growth in the lastthree years providing pursesto the horsemen and commis-sion to the track to offset someof the increasing costs of con-

ducting racing,” ArlingtonVice President Jim Stumpfsaid in a statement providedto The Associated Press, add-ing “Current law must be ex-tended without a sunset to en-able racing to survive in thisstate.”

However, the (Blooming-ton) Pantagraph reported thatGov. Pat Quinn’s office sayslawmakers must fix the state’spension crisis before the Chi-cago Democrat considers any-thing else.

Amid such uncertainty,the racing board has approvedfour different schedules for2014.

Under the worst-case sce-nario, if the law is not extend-ed and the board is given noextra money, racing dateswould be cut by more than 80percent – with just 87 datesnext year divided among thestate’s four racetracks. Therewere 466 racing days in 2013.

Online wagering law’sexpiration causing worry

CHICAGO – The Rev. AlSharpton gave a clearer pic-ture of what he plans to dowhile living part time in Chi-cago, saying Sunday that he’llhighlight work neighborhoodgroups and local activists aredoing to combat street vio-lence.

“There are people in thetrenches every day the nationneeds to know about,” he saidduring a news conference inthe city’s Austin neighbor-hood, a West Side pocket thathas been hard hit with gun vi-olence.

Sharpton, who heads theNational Action Network,vowed in June to live in Chi-cago and mobilize in the spir-it of Martin Luther King Jr.,who rented an apartment inChicago during the 1960s asthe city was a central point

for civil rights activism. Buthe never gave many detailsabout exactly what he wouldbe doing and plans were re-peatedly delayed.

Sharpton said Sundaythat he will rent an apart-ment from the Rev. MarshallHatch of New Mount PilgrimMissionary Baptist and stayin Chicago one or two days aweek. His appearance cappedoff a morning of preachingat Trinity United Church ofChrist, a prominent church onChicago’s South Side wherePresident Barack Obama onceattended services. Sharptonalso planned to promote hisnew memoir with book sign-ings throughout the city.

Sharpton said he had beenin contact with Chicago May-or Rahm Emanuel, who haspushed gun control measuresas a way to combat street vio-lence along with multiple po-licing strategies.

Sharpton added that while

it wasn’t his main focus, heplanned to scrutinize author-ities. Sharpton has been a vo-cal critic of the New York CityPolice Department, includingblasting its stop-and-frisk pol-icy.

“I’m known to question alot of police work and I will,”he said.

Chicago’s homicide rate isdown slightly when comparedwith last year when therewere more than 500 killings,but the city’s rate remainshigh when compared withamong other large U.S. cities.Sharpton said community ac-tivists and pastors might betrying successful tactics inChicago neighborhoods thatcould be applied elsewhere.

Anti-violence advocates– including the group CureViolence – have said theywelcome Sharpton’s work inChicago and that any atten-tion to the problem would behelpful.

Under the new law, insur-ers have to accept people withhealth problems. Weaver is inhis mid-50s, with high bloodpressure and high cholesterol,but otherwise in good health.He says those common condi-tions made it hard for him toget coverage before.

Although Weaver seemsto have gotten past the majorwebsite obstacles, he’s stillfinding shortcomings. There’sno place to type in his medica-tions and find out what planscover them. “I wish there wasmore detail, so you could reallyfigure it out,” he said.

Such a nuanced critique ap-pears to be lost on congressio-nal Republicans.

“#TrainWreck: Skyrock-eting Prices, Blank Screens,& Error Messages,” screamedthe headline on a press releaseFriday from House Speak-er John Boehner, R-Ohio. AHouse hearing on the “botchedObamacare rollout” is sched-uled for this coming week.GOP lawmakers want Healthand Human Services SecretaryKathleen Sebelius to resign.

Administration officials, intheir most detailed accountingyet of the early rollout, saidSaturday that about 476,000health insurance applicationshave been filed through fed-eral and state exchanges. Butthe officials continue to refusesay how many people haveenrolled in the insurance mar-kets.

Without enrollment figures,it’s unclear whether the pro-

gram is on track to reach the7 million people projecting bythe Congressional Budget Of-fice to gain coverage duringthe six-month sign-up period.

The president was expect-ed to address the problems onMonday during a health careevent at the White House. Theadministration has yet to fullyexplain what has gone wrongwith the online signup system.

“To our Democratic friends:You own ‘Obamacare’ and it’sgoing to be the political giftthat keeps on giving,” said Sen.Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.

“Irresponsible obsession,”scoffs Rep. Sander Levin ofMichigan, ranking Democraton the Ways and Means Com-mittee, which oversees muchof the health law.

Democratic pollster CelindaLake says she doesn’t see howgoing after the health law roll-out will help Republicans bythe time of next year’s election.

“Americans are technologyoptimists,” said Lake. “Youtell them the website has prob-lems today, and they’ll assumeit will be better tomorrow. Imean, we’re Americans. Wecan fix a website.”

There may be a method tothe GOP’s single-mindedness.

Republicans are intent onmaking the health law an un-comfortable anchor aroundthe neck of four Democraticsenators seeking re-election inGOP-leaning states.

than $8,000 and had morethan 200 participants. Thisyear she expects the PTA willraise more than $7,000 andhave about the same numberof participants.

One zombie, Dylan Kvapil,took down nine people in therace and made first place asthe zombie with the mostflags. The Clinton RosetteMiddle School student saidhe succeeded by running fastin the beginning of the race,which he found fun.

“It’s better than just a reg-ular race,” he said. “It’s ex-citing.”

Participants who regis-tered for the Zombie Dash5K were able to choose threefates: zombies, runners ormedics. Runners are allowedto begin the race three min-utes before the zombies. Themedics, who don’t have toworry about being chased bythe zombies, are allowed to

run three minutes after thelast zombie runs.

Kelly Summers, a North-ern Illinois University assis-tant professor, said she choseto become a zombie becauseshe’s slow. While she didn’tintentionally run slow, shesaid she thinks zombiesshould be slow rather thanthe kind who are fast, suchas the ones in “The WalkingDead”.

“And out of the threethings you could possibly be– a runner, a medic, a zombie– come on, the zombies arethe most fun,” she said.

Paul Schimbke decid-ed to be a medic. He saidthe medics had no purposeother than to run but thatwas more than enough forthe Clinton Rosette MiddleSchool teacher who was justlooking for entertainment.Last year, Schimbke watchedhis daughter, a student withthe middle school, run in therace and wanted to join in themayhem.

“It’s good for the kids and

it helps them out,” he said.“So, it’s awesome.”

While zombies who cap-tured the most lives were rec-ognized, so were the runnerswho ran the 5K the fastest.Stephen Poorten, CameronCarani and Jarrod Pritchetttook first, second and thirdplace, respectively. Poorten,a Sycamore Middle Schoolstudent who finished in 20:12,was untouchable by the un-dead.

“I kind of knew [the zom-bies] weren’t going to catchme because we had a ... headstart,” he said.

Seth Wickens-Walther,Clinton Rosette MiddleSchool student, said he choseto be a zombie because hewanted to wear the ghoulishmake-up, which he was wor-ried about having to wipe offwhen he sweated during therace.

“Zombies are the newthing and vampires are gonenow,” he said, “and tryingto eat people makes the racemore fun and interesting.”

Escaped prisoners grilled:Who helped you?By BRENDAN FARRINGTONand MELISSA NELSONThe Associated Press

PANAMA CITY BEACH,Fla. – Back in custody afterusing forged documents to es-cape their life sentences, twoconvicted killers were beinggrilled on Sunday by law en-forcement authorities whosaid they expect to make morearrests in a case that has giv-en both court and correctionsofficials in Florida a black

eye.Among the questions being

posed to Joseph Jenkins andCharles Walker: Who forgedthe papers? Who helped yourun from police? What otherprisoners have gotten awaywith this? Who was comingfrom Atlanta to whisk you outof Florida?

“I can tell you, there willbe more arrests,” Florida De-partment of Law EnforcementCommissioner Gerald Baileytold a news conference Sun-

day, hours after Jenkins andWalker, both 34, were arrest-ed without incident at a motelin Panama City.

“We will be backtrackingto those who helped carry outthis fraud and along the waywe will be looking closely atanyone who may have helpedharbor these fugitives,” Bai-ley said.

Jenkins and Walkerht atthe Coconut Grove Motor Innin Panama City Beach, a tour-isty area of putt-putt courses

and go-kart tracks. Hours ear-lier, their families had held anews conference in Orlando –350 miles away – urging themto surrender.

The men, who had fledthe Orlando area after wordof their ruse became public,did not know law enforcementwas on the way to PanamaCity.

They were waiting in themotel for someone to arrivefrom Atlanta to take themout of state, Bailey said, add-

ing that authorities don’t yetknow who that person was orwhere the convicts planned togo.

The Florida Departmentof Law Enforcement is work-ing with Georgia authoritiesto answer those questions, hesaid.

“They had to have had help– a lot of help – to get to wherethey were last night,” Baileysaid. He said the men were un-armed and didn’t have muchmoney on them.

Confusion reignsover long-delayedSyria conference

By RYAN LUCASThe Associated Press

BEIRUT – Reflecting con-fusion in efforts to convenean international conferenceto end Syria’s civil war, theArab League chief announcedon Sunday that talks will takeplace next month in Geneva,only to have the U.N. envoyflatly deny a date has been set.

The bizarre diplomatictwo-step between Arab Leaguechief Nabil Elaraby and theU.N. envoy for Syria, Lakh-dar Brahimi, at a joint newsconference added to the uncer-tainty surrounding the pro-posed peace talks. A decisionover whether the long-delayednegotiations will happen atall could come at a meetingof the Syrian opposition earlynext month that will focus onwhether to sit down with Pres-ident Bashar Assad’s regime.

The United States andRussia, who support oppos-ing sides in the conflict thathas killed more than 100,000people, have been trying formonths to bring the Damas-cus government and Syria’sdivided opposition to the tablefor a peace conference. Butwith the war deadlocked, nei-ther the regime nor the rebelsshowed any interest in com-promise, forcing the meetingto be repeatedly postponed.

Even now, it remains un-clear whether either side iswilling to negotiate.

The main Western-backedopposition umbrella group,the Syrian National Coalition,is scheduled to meet Nov. 1-2in Istanbul to decide whetherto take part in the proposedGeneva conference. One of themost prominent factions with-in the Coalition, the SyrianNational Council, has said it

has no faith in talks with As-sad’s regime and won’t attendany Geneva negotiations.

But the Coalition’s abilityto speak for the broader rebel-lion has long been in dispute,and fighters inside Syria –many of whom reject negoti-ations with the regime – haveaccused the opposition leadersin exile of being out of touchwith reality on the ground.The Coalition’s credibility, al-ready strained, took a majorhit last month when nearly adozen prominent rebel groupspublicly broke with the oppo-sition umbrella group. Morerebel brigades have since fol-lowed suit.

The government, mean-while, has kept its optionsvia Geneva open. Some offi-cials have said all oppositiongroups should be representedin the talks, while others haverefused to deal with the Co-alition. Assad, however, hasstuck to one point throughout:a refusal to talk with “terror-ists,” the term the governmentuses for those trying to topplethe president by force.

With questions over whowill attend lingering, Elara-by announced after meetingwith Brahimi at Arab Leagueheadquarters in Cairo thatthe Geneva conference wouldbe held Nov. 23. Elaraby ac-knowledged that “many diffi-culties” remain, but said “it’stime that the killings and thebloodshed stopped.”

But standing next to him,Brahimi then denied the tim-ing of the proposed peace talkshad been finalized. He said hemust first visit Qatar and Tur-key – two key supporters ofthe rebellion – and then meetwith U.S. and Russian officialsin Geneva before a formal datewill be announced.

Illinois lawmakers are scheduled to return toSpringfield on Tuesday for their fall veto session.

We have three priorities for them before theyadjourn until 2014.

1. Meaningful pension reform.2. Meaningful pension reform.3. Meaningful pension reform.Is that clear enough?We add the word “meaningful” in front of “pension

reform” because a proposed bill being discussed in alegislative conference committee doesn’t qualify asreal reform.

Illinois’ five statewide pension systems are under-funded by about $100 billion and growing. Taxpayerssimply can’t afford to pay the overly generous bene-fits that state retirees receive, including automatic 3percent cost-of-living increases annually.

The bill being discussed in conference committeewould change the automatic COLA to half the rate ofinflation. Over the past several years, that would havemeant a significantly lower COLA than the 3 percentcurrently added annually.

But what happens if inflation soars? Can anyonepredict that 10 or 20 years from now, inflation won’thit 8 or 10 percent or more?

Any pension reform must be sustainable over thelong term, and this proposal would not be.

The conference committee’s proposal also wouldlower the amount that public employees must con-tribute to their pensions by 1 percentage point. Ifanything, public employees should contribute more totheir pensions.

Democratic lawmakers say the contribution reduc-tion is necessary so reform passes an expected courtchallenge.

A provision in the state Constitution says thatbenefits for public employees cannot be diminished,and public-employee unions have vowed to sue thestate if pension reform takes away any benefits.

The problem is, if the benefits aren’t reduced, atsome point there won’t be enough money to pay anyof them. A reasonable pension paycheck is better thanno pension paycheck.

Every day pension reform does not get passed, theunfunded liability grows by millions of dollars.

There are other issues facing lawmakers in thefall veto session, but none of them approach pensionreform in matter of significance.

For the sake of Illinois’ future solvency, we onceagain urge state lawmakers to pass meaningful pen-sion reform.

Pension reformis one and onlypriority for thefall veto session

Fashion can’t be tech’s new big thingI never cared much for the tarted-up

Burberry.The upscale British clothier sells its

wares at prices for which one might rea-sonably demand a classic style lastingthrough several monarchies.

But that’s just me talking. Burberryis said to have turned its traditionalistlabel around thanks to fashion innova-tion.

So that’s just me talking.Apple Inc. has hired Burberry CEOAngela Ahrendts to apply her fashionsmarts to updating its 400 stores andonline shopping experience.

On this I feel better equipped to pre-dict success or failure.A number of tech businesses are nowgetting mixed up with fashion. That’s adangerous trend, for tech.

It threatens to turn tech’s minimalistcool – a user-centered simplicity mas-tered by Apple’s founding genius, SteveJobs – into something complicated, notto mention sexist.

Apple has enhanced the iPhone’sinnards several times, but set an earlymodel on a bar next to the latest andthey look fairly alike.

Only jerks sniff at someone holdinglast year’s iPhone.

A strange article in The New YorkTimes portrayed the tech foray intofashion as good for tech and a means ofempowering women in the male-domi-nated gadget business.

At Google Glass, the reporter wrote,“women are leading hardware andbusiness efforts for one of Google’sbiggest-ever product gambles.” (GoogleGlass is a kind of computer on goggles.)

The new female hires are advisingGoogle on color and look.

Most horrifying is the headline,“Women at Google Looking Past theGlass Ceiling” over a photo of Googlefounder Sergey Brin slouching in oldjeans and rubber sole shoes – sur-rounded by Diane von Furstenberg andmodels in metatarsal-killing spikes,chains wrapped around their ankles.Was gender equity ever such?

We appreciate that much of tech hasa fashion-accessory angle. The cut-ting-edge tablet and video camera havebecome the hipster’s conspicuous con-sumption. And yes, Google sells com-puter glasses, and Samsung, computerwatches.

But true tech elegance rides oncomplex capabilities under a cover ofeffortless simplicity. Me talking.

Consider the Apple Stores, whichBurberry’s ex-CEO is supposed to savefrom their allegedly outdated look. MostI visit are mob scenes.

One is reminded of the Yogi Berraline about an old Italian restaurant:“Nobody goes there anymore. It’s toocrowded.”

Two things make the Apple Storesbeautiful.

One is they are a place of tech fanta-sy.

Go there and leave convinced thatwith a few clicks of the keys you can

make an entry for the next SundanceFilm Festival.

Second – and this is even more im-portant – they serve as clinics offeringoutpatient care for those in the midst oftechnical meltdown.

If you’re an Apple customer with asoftware problem, hardware problemor don’t-know-which problem, you canlimp into an Apple Store knowing thatyou will skip away with some kind ofanswer, if not a fix.

Apple’s most loyal customers arewe who have spent hours on the phonebeing sent to three continents for helpgetting a gadget to work. We know thatthe greatest luxury isn’t fashion. It isservice.

The Apple Stores have that hip mini-malist vibe with a layout as predictableas a Sam’s Club.

Also predictable are the employeesin colorful tees, there to listen patientlyto your tale of confusion and carefullytrained never to make the customer feelstupid.

Fantasy married to utility was SteveJobs’ brilliant formula. Don’t mess withit.

Computerized glasses in tangerineare not exactly the next tech must-have.They illustrate consumer tech’s prob-lem.

It needs to find the next big newthing. The place to look for that is noton a fashion runway but in a geek’sgarage.

8LETTER TO THE EDITOR

It’s important tokeep re-

cordsofhistoryTo the Editor:

On Columbus Day we again

experienced a day with no

delivery of mail.

I have never been able to

figure out what the U.S. Postal

Service has to do with an

Italian taking an ocean voyage

so many years ago.

I know there was no mail ser-

vice on that day in 1492, but

is that the reason we have to

be inconvenienced today? And

besides, there is a faction that

does not believe that Colum-

bus was the first to set foot on

our shores in the first place.

Think of poor Leif Ericson.

Around A.D. 1000, he suppos-edly landed at a spot he called“Vinland.” It is unclear justexactly where that was, but itcould have been New Englandor Newfoundland. (I love thatname…New Found Land. Whydidn’t we stick with that no-menclature?)Poor Leif did not keep docu-

ments recording his discovery,so that is why we don’t have aLeif Ericson Day.I recall a poem from my

youth that helped us remem-ber when Columbus sailed theocean blue:Columbus discovered AmericaBack in 1492But I discovered something

better

When I discovered you.It just does not have the samering to it when you say theyear 1000.Ericson’s discovery did not

result in a lot of followerswho thought it was a goodidea to leave the homecountry. Actually it tookquite some time before apermanent group settledhere. It was in 1607 whenJamestown, Va., became thefirst European colony in NorthAmerica. It was named afterKing James I of England.See? No mention of an

Italian.Unfortunately, all was not

well there either because inthe 17th century, an uprising

against the governor result-

ed in the settlement being

destroyed.

It took some years later for

some malcontents, known as

Pilgrims and Puritans seeking

religious freedom, to hop onto

some leaky vessels in 1620

and 1630 and settle here. And,

as the saying goes, the rest is

history.

I doubt that anyone even

remembered two guys by the

name of Columbus or Ericson

by that time.

Keep that in mind the next

time someone else takes credit

for something you did.

The Royal Treatment….

Barry and Kay Schrader

We always said when we were ready to retire from work, but not from life, Oak Crestwould be the place for us. Both of us were born and grew up in this area so coming homewas something we talked about for years. When the opportunity presented itself to sellour home in California and return to our roots, we didn’t have to think twice. We love life at Oak Crest in our wonderfulduplex surrounded by good friends, family and beautiful scenery. We are glad we made the decision to move here while weare both independent.With easy access to educational programs, events, a state-of-the-art fitness center and delicious meals.We not only feel privileged, but blessed. We are enjoying all that Oak Crest has to offer. It was our honor to spend the lastyear as Oak Crest King and Queen. Guess when they say at Oak Crest you get the royal treatment, they mean it.

Barry & Kay Schrader, Residents since July 2006

LANDOVER, Md. – Shall we talk about

Jay Cutler’s groin?

I’m guessing that wasn’t among your pos-

sible discussion-group topics 24 hours ago.

You probably thought you’d be talking about

a Bears’ victory over a middling Redskins

team and perhaps Cutler’s glorious role in it.

But then came the second quarter Sunday,

a sack by Washington defensive end Chris

Baker and the sight of Cutler in pain on

the ground. Or, more precisely, the sight of

Cutler not standing up. He always seems to

bounce back after a hard hit.

So, the groin. Who wants to go first?

It initially looked like Cutler grabbed his left

hip, which isn’t that far from the nether region.

Maybe we should be safe and call it a groin-ish

injury. What we know for sure is that Cutler

walked off FedEx Field, then was carried inpain to a golf cart and whisked away for anexamination. Not good. He’ll have an MRI testMonday to determine the extent of the injury.

I’d suggest a laying on of hands, but, youknow.

“We’ll know more in the next coupledays,’’ coach Marc Trestman said after theBears’ 45-41 loss to the Redskins. “It’s a groin.It’s not a knee. It’s not an ankle. It’s not a hip.It’s just a groin injury.”

So let’s call the Bears’ 45-41 loss to theWashington Redskins exactly what it was.

This was an entertaining but poorlyplayed mashup between two of the NFL’s me-diocre teams, playoff contenders on their bestdays but incapable of winning a playoff gameon any day, that probably stuck a fork in theBears’ playoff hopes because they proved tobe the lesser of the two.

Or, the Bears scored a huge moral victoryin the nation’s capital battling the defend-ing NFC East champions to a near standoffin spite of losing their two best players andwatching a handful of other key teammateshobble from the playing field one after anoth-er.

I do not believe in moral victories of anykind. The Bears are 4-3, not 4 ½ and 2 ½.

But if you had told me before the gamethe Bears could go out and stink up the fieldon offense behind Jay Cutler, see him gethurt and that Josh McCown would come onand do his best Steve Young impersonation,put 24 points on the board (we can’t givehim credit for Devin Hester’s touchdown)and come as close as he did to being the lastman standing, I never would have believedit.

Game summary

Roy Helu scored his third touchdown of the game with 45seconds to play Sunday, a 3-yard run that gave the WashingtonRedskins a 45-41 win over the Bears. Josh McCown, enteringthe game in the second quarter after Jay Cutler left with a groininjury, completed 14 of 20 passes for 204 yards with one TD.

By STEVE [email protected]

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – StaceyRobinson’s name was in the NCAA re-cord book for more than 20 years.

Now, a different Northern Illinoisquarterback – Jordan Lynch – is takinghis spot.

Robinson used NIU’s wishbone to per-fection in a 73-18 thrashing over Fres-no State in 1990, rushing for 308 yards.Lynch eclipsed that mark in Saturday’s38-17 win at Central Michigan, runningfor 316 yards, breaking Robinson’s FBS

record for a quarterback.Lynch, who was named the Wal-

ter Camp National Offensive Player ofthe Week by the Walter Camp FootballFoundation on Sunday, now holds thesingle-game and single-season FBS re-cord for rushing yards by a quarterback,as he ran for 1,815 yards last season.

The way Lynch put it, anyone couldhave run through the holes his offensiveline opened up. Often, Lynch, who hada career-high 32 carries, was able to getto the second level untouched. Then, heused his speed to break away in the openfield.

“They were getting great push. That’swhy we got all those rushing yards,”Lynch said. “You could have gave any-one the ball that game. The holes wereso wide open. It was nothing that I did, itwas mostly the offensive linemen, tightend getting that second and third push.”

Last week, NIU head coach Rod Careysaid he was disappointed in the play ofhis offensive line. Carey didn’t have toomuch to be upset about Saturday.

In the second half, NIU decided to runright at Central Michigan.

Sprint Cup Series driver Jamie McMurray (1) celebrates Sunday after winning the CampingWorld RV Salves500 at the Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Ala.

NASCAR SPRINT CUP: CAMPING WORLD RV SALES 500

McMurray wins largely clean raceBy PAUL NEWBERRYThe Associated Press

TALLADEGA, Ala. – Ev-eryone expects the big one tohappen at Talladega Super-speedway.

For some reason, it neveroccurred Sunday.

Oh sure, there was a wreckon the final lap, which allowedJamie McMurray to coast tothe victory under caution.

But by the standards of thisplace, it was about as clean ascan be.

“Once you get toward theend, it usually gets more in-tense and everybody startstaking bigger risks,” McMur-ray said. “I was listening tomy spotter and he would say,‘A line is forming, but it’s notvery organized and they’renot making up any ground.’

I’m really surprised theycouldn’t put something to-gether to make more of a run.I’m shocked by that, actually.I thought guys would take big-ger chances at the end.”

McMurray won for the firsttime in the NASCAR SprintCup Series since 2010, snap-ping a 108-race winless streak,and didn’t even have to wor-ry about a planned last-lapcharge from Dale EarnhardtJr. after Dillon spun comingout of the second turn.

The only other driver col-lected in the crash was CaseyMears, who slammed into Dil-lon’s car and sent it flying intothe air before it came backdown upright. Everyone wasOK.

“I was trying to go for thewin there,” said Dillon, whowas filling in for injured Tony

Stewart in the No. 14 car andcompeting in just his 12thSprint Cup race. “A wild ride.I just have to thank NASCARfor everything they have donefor safety. That hit was fine. Igot to drive the car back” tothe garage, though he settledfor 26th after going to the finallap in third.

A race known for massivecrashes was essentially trou-ble free. There was a minorwreck early on when MarcosAmbrose got loose in front ofthe main grandstand and tookout Juan Pablo Montoya, and103 consecutive laps undergreen until the yellow andcheckered flags waved togeth-er at the end.

Earnhardt settled for sec-ond, followed by Ricky Sten-house Jr., Paul Menard andKyle Busch.

Former Washingtoncoach James diesSEATTLE – Don James arrived

in Seattle in the mid-1970s asan unknown. He built a Hall ofFame coaching career, turningthe University of Washingtoninto a powerhouse programthat won a share of a nationalchampionship.No wonder he’ll forever be

referred to around the schoolas “The Dawgfather.”James, the longtime Wash-

ington coach who led theHuskies to a share of the 1991national title, died at his homeSunday from the effects ofpancreatic cancer. He was 80.James was 178-76-3 as

a coach at Kent State andWashington, counting threeforfeit victories with theHuskies.

His crown-ing moment came in 1991when Washington had themost dominant defense in thecountry, and beat Michigan inthe Rose Bowl to finish 12-0.

MOUNT PLEASANT,Mich. – Central Michiganlooked as if it was going totake a lead on Northern Illi-nois.

The Chippewas had theball at the NIU 33-yard linewith roughly five minutesleft in the first half, and it ap-peared they had converted afourth-down play after Coo-per Rush completed a pass toJerry Harris.

However, NIU safety De-chane Durante rocked Harrisafter his 13-yard catch, forc-ing a fumble that was recov-ered by Jhony Faustin.

At the time, the score wastied at 14. The Huskies wouldgo on to outscore the Chippe-was 24-3 the rest of the con-

test.“As a defense, we just feed

of takeaways,” Durante said.“[Harris] coughed the ballup. Got a takeaway for thedefense. As you could see,we had a good second half.We feed off takeaways, and ittook off from there.”

The play was a blownscoring chance for the Chip-pewas.

“Yes, that was a missedopportunity. Against a goodteam, you can’t have missedopportunities,” CMU coachDan Enos said. “We missedone right there with that.It was a great throw and hecaught it. You have to givetheir safety credit, he madea great hit. It’s part of thegame.”

True freshman Smith stepsin: Draco Smith played tail-

back at Chicago’s Mt. CarmelHigh School, but was recruit-ed to NIU as a defensive back,and has spent most of the sea-son practicing there.

However, recently Careydecided to put the true fresh-man at running back in prac-tice. With backup tailbackKeith Harris Jr. out for theseason, NIU put Smith intoaction Saturday, instead ofburning the redshirt of Jor-dan Huff or Joel Bouagnon.

Smith lined up both in thebackfield and out wide, andfinished with one carry forfive yards.

“With how we play, it’s aphysical brand of football, soyou’ve got to have runningbacks,” Carey said. “Unfortu-nately, Keith, his season end-ed. We messed around with[Smith at tailback] last week

and we decided to pull thetrigger. Draco was all in on itso I’m really happy for him.”

Carey sees improvements inkicking game: Mathew Simsdidn’t kick for the secondstraight week.

Backup kicker TylerWedel, who had two kicksblocked last week, made hisonly field-goal opportunity, a34-yarder, and was 6 of 6 onextra points. Wedel, who al-ways handles kickoffs, hadtwo go out of bounds, but Car-ey said the wind played a fac-tor in those.

Carey thought the kickinggame went well.

“Overall, I was really hap-py with how Tyler, again,handled every facet of ourkicking game,” Carey said.“I was really proud of himtoday.”

BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

Huskies enter first BCS standings ranked 18thThe ASSOCIATED PRESS

Northern Illinois is rankedNo. 18 in the first BCS rank-ings of the season, right be-hind Fresno State, which camein at 17.

The Huskies are .0347points behind Fresno State.The two teams are battlingfor position to earn a chanceto play in a BCS bowl game inJanuary. Both teams saw theirchances increase after win-ning their respective gamesthis weekend, coupled withCentral Florida’s victory overLouisville. The loss droppedthe Cardinals from first in theAmerican Athletic Confer-ence. Unranked Houston andUCF, which entered the BCSrankings at 23, are tied for firstin the AAC.

The Huskies earned their18th ranking in the BCS pollon the strength of the comput-er rankings, which averagedout to a No. 13 slot. Jeff Sagarinhad Northern Illinois at No. 5,which helped the MAC Westleaders earn a higher comput-er average ranking.

The BCS rankings is com-prised of polls from Harris,USA Today and six computerrankings.

Alabama and Florida Statehold the top two spots in thefirst BCS standings of the sea-son. Oregon was a close thirdbehind second-place FloridaState.

The Seminoles (.9348 BCSaverage) are coming off their

biggest win of the season, a51-14 victory at previously un-beaten Clemson.

The Ducks (.9320) haveplayed only one team thatwas ranked at the time, butcould get a boost in the nexttwo weeks with games againstUCLA and at Stanford.

Ohio State is a more distantfourth, followed by Missouriin the standings released Sun-day night.

The top two teams in the fi-

nal standings after the end ofthe regular season play in theRose Bowl for the national titlein January.

Alabama is a comfortableNo. 1 on the strength of beingtop-ranked by a wide marginin both the USA Today coach-es’ poll and Harris poll. Thetwo-time defending championCrimson Tide is second in thecomputer ratings.

If the Tide can stay unbeat-en, it should reach the BCS

championship game for thethird straight year and for thefourth time in five seasons.

The polls count for two-thirds of a BCS grade.

Florida State is No. 1 in thecomputer ratings and third ineach poll. Oregon is secondin the polls and fourth in thecomputers.

The race between the Ducksand Florida State is shapingup to be a close one if both keepwinning. The Seminoles still

must play unbeaten Miami, ri-val Florida and potentially inthe ACC championship game,which could be a rematchwith Miami or maybe a gameagainst Virginia Tech (6-1).

In addition to Oregon’s nexttwo tough games, the Ducksplay Oregon State and poten-tially the Pac-12 title gameagainst perhaps UCLA or Ari-zona State.

Ohio State is probably rel-egated to hoping for the teams

in front of it to fall. The BigTen is not affording the Buck-eyes many opportunities forresume-boosting victories.

Stanford was sixth and Mi-ami seventh. Unbeaten Baylorstarts the BCS race eighth.

Only twice since the BCSstarted in 1998 have the toptwo teams in the first stand-ings played in the title game.

The BCS is in its final sea-son. It will be replaced by afour-team playoff next season.

“Defenses kind of have tomake a choice and everyoneplays us a little different,”Carey said. “And so it takesyou a minute to find that out.So you’ve kind of got to takewhat they’re giving you. To-day we found out that theywere going to make us run it,

so we did.”Lynch recorded 471 yards of

total offense, the fourth-high-est total in NIU history and aKelly/Shorts Stadium record.

The senior averaged 9.9yards per carry, and the Hus-kies averaged 8.2 yards as ateam behind the veteran of-fensive line.

“He’s a great player,” Cen-tral Michigan head coach DanEnos said of Lynch. “I’m nottaking anything from JordanLynch but you don’t just go upthere and rush for 300 yardsand nobody block.”

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – No-tre Dame coach Brian Kellysounded hopeful quarterbackTommy Rees will be ready toplay Saturday against strug-gling Air Force after sufferinga neck injury against USC.

“He’s feeling better today.Still a little sore, but it will bea day-to-day situation,” Kellysaid Sunday.

Kelly said he expects Reesto practice Tuesday. TheFighting Irish (5-2) probablyneed Rees to heal quickly af-ter seeing the offense becomeincapacitated when Rees leftthe game with a sprained neckwith 9 minutes left in the thirdquarter when linebacker La-mar Dawson sacked him.

With backup Andrew Hen-drix in the game, the Irish man-aged just two first downs andthe Irish went three-and-out onthree other possessions and lostthe ball on a fumble on another.

The Irish offense wasn’tdominating against USC, butlooked solid while Rees was in.

Rees completed 14 of 21 passesfor 166 yards and two touch-downs in the 14-10 victory.

“We liked the way heplayed,” Kelly said.

Fans may have a renewedfondness for Rees after seeinghow the Irish offense lookedin his absence. Rees, who lostthe starting job after his soph-omore season after throwing14 interceptions and fumblingthe ball away five times in2011, was roundly booed whenhe was called on to replace Ev-erett Golson against Purduein the second game last sea-son. But his popularity grewas he rallied the Irish to vic-tories last season against Pur-due, Michigan and Stanfordand started in a victory overBYU and played a significantrole in helping the Irish get tothe BCS championship game.

But questions whetherRees was good enough to leadthe Irish to a successful seasonstarted as soon as the univer-sity announced in May thatEverett Golson had been sus-pended for the fall semesterfor poor academic judgment.

Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau yells to his team Friday during the second half of a preseason game against the Indiana Pacers at the United Center.

BULLS PRESEASON

Bulls 5-0, but Thibs still not satisfiedBy JOE COWLEY

[email protected]

Having Derrick Rose backhealthy and playing at a highlevel should have coach TomThibodeau feeling good thesedays.

Watching his team go outand post a 5-0 record in thepreseason should leave himthinking something special ison the horizon with the reg-ular season just more than aweek away.

But this is Thibodeau. Andbecause he is chasing perfec-tion, happy thoughts are forother coaches to have.

“We’re improving, butwe still have a long way togo,” Thibodeau said Sun-day. “You’re trying to buildconcentration over a longperiod of time, and you’vegot to grind. This season isabout grinding and working.You’ve got to put the work

in. You can’t skip steps, youcan’t take shortcuts. You’vegot to put a lot of work intoit.”

The Bulls have, specifi-cally during the weekend.Thibodeau usually gives hisplayers a day off when thereare multiple days betweengames, but the Bulls prac-ticed Saturday and Sunday.Practice Sunday lasted near-ly 21/2 hours.

Afterward, Thibodeausaid the level of play is notmeeting his standards.

“Well, it depends on whatyour standards are,” he said.

“On the first day of camp, ifyou went to all 30 teams, ev-eryone would say, ‘Yeah, wewant to win a championship.’Very few teams are willing tomake that commitment overa long period of time in put-ting the necessary work intoit each and every day. It’seasy to say it; it’s harder todo it.

“I think that’s the greatvalue of guys like Carlos(Boozer) and Luol (Deng).They come in every day andwork. And Derrick. We’ve gotto get back to doing that.”

Thibodeau’s bad moodwas spurred by how theBulls showed up to play Fri-day against the Indiana Pac-ers. They won, 103-98, but thefact that the first unit cameout and fell behind 29-21 afterthe first quarter infuriatedThibodeau.

“I measure everything onwhether it’s being done at a

championship level,” Thibo-deau said. “Whether it’s yourpreparation, how you prac-tice, how you conduct your-self in the weight room, howyou conduct yourself in a filmsession, how you conductyourself on the bus. There’s alot that goes into winning, soyou’ve got to be willing to paythe price.”

Although it’s a relentlessmessage, the Bulls never havegrown tired of it under Thi-bodeau. And the new playersare embracing his intensity.

“I’m on board with that,”veteran sharpshooter MikeDunleavy said. “There’s nopoint in going through themotions. You put the workin and get it right. ... I’ve hada hard time finding a basketto shoot at after practice be-cause there are so many guysgetting extra work in. I’venever been in a situation likethat. It’s a good thing.”

BULLS NOTES

Butler expected to return to lineup against BucksBy JOE COWLEY

[email protected]

Coach Tom Thibodeausaid swingman Jimmy Butler(left knee) went through a fullpractice Sunday and was ex-pected to return to the startinglineup today against the Mil-waukee Bucks after missingthe past two preseason games.

The news also was betterfor guard Kirk Hinrich, wholeft Friday’s game against thePacers with a concussion.

“He feels better, but thereis a battery of tests that hehas to go through, so it willprobably be where we’ll seehow he’s feeling [Monday],”Thibodeau said. “He says hefeels a lot better. He’s got the

league protocol that he has togo through.”

Center Joakim Noah(strained groin) didn’t prac-tice Sunday, and he was ex-pected to miss today’s game,as well as the one Wednes-day against the OklahomaCity Thunder.

Second time around: GuardMarquis Teague has aver-

aged 9.5 points in his past twogames, and Thibodeau likesthe way he is coming around.

“He’s practicing a lot bet-ter than he did last year,”Thibodeau said. “He just hasto keep practicing hard eachand every day, put everythingyou have into it and be readyto play, concentrate and go outand do your job.”

Dr. Wallace: I’ll make this

very short and uncompli-

cated. Ryan and I dated for

six months, and I thought

we were a great couple. I

enjoyed being with him and

I thought he had the same

feelings. Well, I guess I was

wrong because when school

let out for summer he broke

up with me. He said that I

was “too possessive” and

that he wanted to go out with

other girls again, which real-

ly hurt my feelings. I didn’t

even want to leave the house,

and all I did was stay at home

and feel sorry for myself. I

missed this guy terribly and

thought I’d never find a guy

as nice as he was.

Then my best friend told

me I had to “get over it” and

made me go to a party with

her. I did my best to say no,

but she insisted, and I finally

agreed to go. At the party, I

met Phil. We hit it off and he

invited me to go to a movie

with him, and I said yes. We

have been out together five

times and each time has been

a wonderful experience for

both of us because we have a

lot in common.

Last night, Ryan called

and said he missed me and

was sorry we broke up. He

was surprised when I told

him I was dating another

guy, and he said to call him

if I wanted to see him again.

I think I do want to see him

again, but not at the expense

of losing Phil. What should I

do? – Nameless, Indianapolis,

Ind.

Nameless: Ryan had his

chance. Stay with Phil, as

long as the time you spend to-

gether is still one wonderful

experience after another.

If the lead isbad, makesure to profit

Trey Parker and MattStone, the co-creators of“South Park,” wrote this linefor that show: “Sometimeswhat’s right isn’t as importantas what’s profitable.”

At the bridge table, usuallywhat is right will be profit-able. In this deal, South is infour spades. West leads theheart queen. How should de-clarer plan the play? Did Westhave a more profitable lead?

Note South’s two-heartrebid. Do not miss the oppor-tunity to show a major. Northrebid two spades because hehad a maximum minimum; ifSouth was strong enough tobid a third time, North’s handwould be worth game. Then,when South did continue withthree diamonds, North men-tioned his heart feature.

South starts with fivelosers: two hearts and threediamonds. He has nine win-ners: six spades, two heartsand one club. There are var-ious chances for a 10th trick:hearts might be 3-3, but that isunlikely, especially given theopening lead; or East mighthave the diamond ace-king.(Even if diamonds are 3-3, de-clarer will probably lose oneheart and three diamonds.)More profitable, though, is toremember that any time youcan get a ruff in the shortertrump hand, it is probably theright line of play.

Declarer should takethe first trick on the board,discard a diamond on theclub ace, and continue withanother heart. If East couldruff, South would probablyfail. Here, though, East fol-lows. Declarer wins with hisace and leads another heart.When back in his hand, Southruffs his last heart with dum-my’s spade queen. Then heshould silently thank West fornot finding a trump lead.

Dear Abby: Last summer,after 24 years of marriage, Ifinally summoned the nerveto take my teenage daughterand leave my emotionallyabusive husband. We are boththriving now.

I have been in therapy, lostalmost 45 pounds and have re-discovered my self-confidenceall over again. A friend I haveknown for more than 10 yearshas expressed interest in dat-ing me. I like him very much,but I’m not sure if it would beappropriate to date yet. Whatdo you think? – Tentative inMassachusetts

Dear Tentative: Temptingas this is, proceed withcaution. When a person hasbeen emotionally starved fora long time, then begins tofeel attractive, accepted andvalidated again, the resultcan be euphoria – a powerful“high.” Right now you need tobe rational.

What I think about your

dating this man is less im-portant than what your ther-apist thinks right now. Pleasemake this question a priorityduring your next sessionsbecause the insight you’llgain into yourself will helpyou not only in a relationshipwith this man – if you decideto have one – but in futureones as well.

Dear Abby: My 86-year-olddad buys all his food fromthe markdown “quick sale”tables, then lets it sit in thefridge for weeks or evenmonths before he eats it. Heinsists the mold is penicillinand good for you. He eatsmoldy cheese, bread, fruitand meat I wouldn’t feed tomy dogs. He has a turkey inthe freezer that expired in

2008, and he can’t understandwhy I won’t cook it for mypets.

Dad reads your columnevery day, so please giveme some input. By the way,he isn’t poor and can affordgood, fresh food. – PerplexedDaughter in Southern Cali-fornia

Dear Perplexed Daughter:Your father is a product of hisupbringing during the GreatDepression, a time whenmany people were starving.The habits people form whenthey are young can be hard toshake.

One reason that perishableproducts have a “sell by”date is that the food begins tolose its nutritional value. Asto your father’s excuse thathe’s ingesting “penicillin”when he eats moldy fruits,vegetables, baked goods anddairy products – I’m sure hisdoctor would prefer he get itby prescription only.

Spoiled food can causeserious illness, which is whythe U.S. government publish-es pamphlets on the import-ant topic of food safety. Visitwww.foodsafety.gov and printout some of the “Food Safetyat a Glance” charts for him. Ifhe refuses to take your adviceand mine, perhaps he’ll bemore receptive to what UncleSam has to say.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend oftwo years, “Jesse,” has sud-denly changed. He’s pushingme away. We are both 17 andhave a 9-month-old baby.

Jesse spent the first sixmonths of our son’s life instate custody. Since he hasbeen back, he has been reallydistant. He ignores me andisn’t affectionate anymore.When I get upset about it, hedenies it and says I have noreason to be upset.

I’m scared our relation-ship isn’t as strong as Ithought. My son deserves a

family, but it’s falling apart.What should I do? – Troubledin Tennessee

Dear Troubled: You have noidea what might have hap-pened to Jesse after he wassent away, so give him somespace, but let him know thatif he wants to talk about it,you are willing to listen andbe supportive. Don’t push anddon’t be clingy. You may haveto be strong for all three ofyou. Complete your educa-tion, take parenting classes,and encourage Jesse to doit, too. Do this and your sonWILL have a family, whetheror not it’s the one you thoughtyou’d have with Jesse.

Dear Dr. K: My motherrecently had a stroke, and it’sseverely impacted her abilityto speak. What can be done tohelp her regain her speech?

Dear Reader: Losing theability to speak, or to under-stand speech, takes away animportant part of ourselves– the ability to communicateeasily with others. I wouldrather be blind or deaf thanunable to speak or to under-stand others. But there ishope that your mother canimprove.

A stroke occurs when ablood vessel supplying thebrain bursts or becomesblocked. In both cases, theinjury deprives the brain ofa constant supply of oxy-gen- and nutrient-rich blood.Brain cells can die, possiblyaffecting a person’s abilityto move, feel, think or even

recognize people. In yourmother’s case, it has takenher ability to speak.

Your mother should begina rehabilitation program witha speech-language pathologistas soon as she is able. Thistherapist will help your moth-er improve her capacity tospeak and understand speech.

The two most commonstroke-related speech im-pairments are aphasia anddysarthria.

Aphasia is the loss of thepower to use or understandwords. In most people, itoccurs when a stroke damag-es the left side of the brain,which is where language is

processed. Some people withaphasia have trouble talkingbut can easily understandspeech. Others talk easily butcan’t understand what peopleare saying.

Rehab for someone withaphasia involves speech andlanguage exercises that helpthe patient regain the abilityto understand, speak, readand write. Exercises includerepeating words a therapistsays, practicing followingdirections, and practicingreading and writing. Grouptherapy sessions provideopportunities to practicetalking with others who arerecovering from strokes.A therapist may also rec-ommend a voice-output, orspeech-generating, device toaid communication in dailylife.

Dysarthria is the inabil-

ity to speak because thestroke has weakened themuscles of the tongue, palateand lips – the parts of themouth that utter words.With dysarthria, a personcan understand speech andform proper words in hismind, but just cannot getthe words out of his mouth.Persons with dysarthria of-ten can write their thoughtsdown perfectly well eventhough they cannot speakthem out loud.

A person with dysarthriacan do exercises to helpincrease strength and endur-ance in the muscles used forspeech. The therapist alsohelps to improve enunciation.He or she might recommendspeaking more slowly ortaking deeper breaths beforespeaking.

A patient of mine in his

early 70s ran a small Italianrestaurant. During the hol-idays, 40 to 50 of his closestfamily members wouldcongregate at his house.He and his wife cooked. Heloved these family reunionseven though they requiredlots of work. “That’s whatmakes our family so close:food and conversation.” Hesuffered a stroke that causeddysarthria. At the familygatherings, he installed ablackboard on an easel and“spoke” by writing com-ments on the blackboard. De-spite his stroke, he kept thefamily conversation going.

But groin injuries can be verytricky. When it comes to healing,they’re stubborn. Ask JoakimNoah, whom the Bulls have shutdown for a week because of astrained groin.

Some of you are yearning forthe Josh McCown era to begin.Stop with your yearnings. Asmuch as Cutler has been a con-tributor to high civic stress levels

over the years, he’s the kind ofquarterback the Bears need goingforward this season, especiallywith their own defense goingbackward at warp speed.

McCown was excellent in reliefof Cutler on Sunday, completing14 of 20 passes for 204 yards anda touchdown. His passer ratingwas 119.6. But if you watched theBears’ defense struggle to staywith Redskins receivers and stopRedskins runners, you knowthey’ll need a quarterback whocan keep up in an arms race.

That’s not McCown, eventhough he did it Sunday. He’s notthat kind of quarterback. In twostarts in 2011, when the Bears lastcalled upon him to take over forthe over-his-head Caleb Hanie, hethrew two touchdowns and fourinterceptions for a 68.3 passerrating.

“Have you seen him throw?”McCown said of Cutler. “Obvi-ously there’s a difference with thevelocity at which the ball travelswhen Jay throws it and when Ithrow it. We have to play the game

in different ways.”The Bears did not fall apart

offensively with McCown in thegame. That can’t be overstated.We’ve seen it happen in the pastwhen Cutler has been otherwiseindisposed. McCown kept up withRobert Griffin III on Sunday, butit’s fair to ask how far a quarter-back with 38 career touchdownpasses and 44 interceptions cantake a team.

BEARS EXTRA PRESENTED BY

3 things that worked

1 Switching toMcCown – The offense had amore than seamless transition to the backup, as JoshMcCown performedmarkedly better than Jay Cutler had. McCown completed 14-of-20 passes for

204 yards and a touchdown and led four scoring drives.

2 Special teams – Zack Bowman downed a punt at the 1-yard line in the first half. Devin Hesterhad an 81-yard punt return for a touchdown, and his ability on kickoff returns had the Bears’

average start position at the 35-yard line compared to the Redskins at their 19-yard line.

3 Backfield run stops – It didn’t seem like it because of the final score and yardage counts, but theBears’ defense didmake some key plays behind the line of scrimmage to keep them in the game.

The defense finishedwith eight tackles for a loss by seven different players.

3 things that didn’t work

1 Defending RGIII on the rollout – On plays when Robert Griffin III would use play action and rollout, he often found a receiver with plenty of open space. The Redskins abused the Bears’ defense

with this play, especially on a few third downs. Washington was 7 of 13 on third down.

2 First-half offense – The Redskins outgained the Bears 249 to 46 in the first half and held the ballfor 14:29 longer than the Bears, an absurd disparity. Chicagowas 0 of 4 on third down andMatt

Forte had only nine yards on four carries.

3 Covering Jordan Reed – The Bears’ defense was no match for the Redskins’ rookie tightend. He finished the game with nine catches for 134 yards and a touchdown.

3 moments that mattered

1 After a Redskins three-and-out in the third quarter,Matt Forte ran 50 yards for a touchdown, using aridiculous jump-cut to juke a Redskins defender in the open field. The score tied the game andwas the

Bears’ first offensive points since Cutler left the game,making a statement to start awild second half.

2 Trailing by fourwith 8:39 left, Gould and the Bears tried to catch the Redskins off guardwith a sur-prise onside kick. Bowman recovered, but EricWeemswas flagged for being offside, a questionable

call based on the video replays. The Redskins did go three-and-out, but thatwould have been a hugeplay for the Bears.

3 Facing a third-and-4with 58 seconds left at the Bears’ 13-yard line, Griffin hit Reed over themiddle for a 10-yard gain and a first down. Conte was in coverage on Reed and the Bears’ defense

couldn’t get the third-down stop, whichwould have forced the Redskins to settle for a game-tyingfield goal. Washington scored the game-winner on the next play.

Now what?

Record: 4-3What itmeans:A Lions loss allows the Bears to settle for a second-place tie, a half gameback of thePackers in theNFCNorth, but a loss to a 1-4 teamwith injuries to three of the team’s best players put therest of the season in jeopardy.Next: This week couldn’t be a better time for the Bears to have an off week.

also carried it four times for 33 yards,

showing that he could move, but also
