DISAPPEARING MONARCHS
By KATIE [email protected]
The thought that her grandchil-dren might never see a monarch but-terfly terrifies Mary Kowalski.
So Kowalski is nurturing fivemonarch caterpillars she found onthe milkweed plants outside herDeKalb home in hopes they willtransform into the iconic orange andblack winged insects.
Kowalski’s fears aren’t far-fetched, some local experts say.
Monarch butterflies make a re-markable journey from the upperMidwest to Mexico every year, butthe number of monarchs measuredin Mexico has declined by 97 percent
since its peak less than 20 years ago,say scientists with the World Wild-life Fund that measures the popula-tion annually.
The decline has prompted localconservationists and residents tobolster supplies of milkweed, theplant crucial to monarch survivalthat also has been disappearing.
But it’s not just what’s happen-ing to monarchs that has them con-cerned.
“I’m concerned about our world,”Kowalski said. “They used to send acanary into a coal mine and if it died,they knew there was poison gas. Isthis our canary in a coal mine?”

DeKalb resident Mary Kowalski points out a large section of the milkweed leaf that the monarch caterpillar has eaten while on her front porch on Monday. Kowalski foundseveral monarch caterpillars on the milkweed in her rain garden and brought them in for protection from birds. One of them is currently a chrysalis, the last stage in thetransformation to a monarch.

Kurdish regional President Massoud Barzani (right) listens to U.S. Secretary of StateJohn Kerry during a meeting at the presidential palace Tuesday in Irbil, Iraq. Kerryarrived in Iraq’s Kurdish region in a U.S. diplomatic drive aimed at preventing thecountry from splitting apart in the face of militants pushing toward Baghdad.
Kurdish leader cites ‘new reality’ in IraqThe ASSOCIATED PRESS
IRBIL, Iraq – Iraq’s top Kurdishleader warned visiting Secretary ofState John Kerry on Tuesday that arapid Sunni insurgent advance hasalready created “a new reality anda new Iraq,” signaling that the U.S.faces major difficulties in its effortsto promote unity among the coun-try’s divided factions.
The U.N., meanwhile, said morethan 1,000 people, most civilians,have been killed in Iraq so far thismonth, the highest death toll sincethe U.S. military withdrew from thecountry in December 2011.
Massoud Barzani, whose pow-erful minority bloc has long func-
tioned as kingmaker in Iraqi poli-tics, did not directly mention PrimeMinister Nouri al-Maliki, who isfacing the strongest challenge to hisrule since he assumed power in 2006.But al-Maliki has made little effortbeyond rhetoric to win the trust ofhis critics, who are led by disaffectedSunnis, Kurds and even several for-mer Shiite allies.
Instead the Kurds have deployedtheir own well-trained security forc-es known as peshmerga and seizedlong-coveted ground of their own inthe name of defending it from theal-Qaida breakaway group and oth-er Sunni insurgents who have sweptthrough the north.
The Kurds are unlikely to give up
that territory, including the disput-ed oil-rich city of Kirkuk, regardlessof the status of the fighting.
Al-Maliki, meanwhile, has beenentirely focused on the security sit-uation, spending hours each day inthe main military command center,rather than politics, officials closeto his inner circle say, speaking onthe condition of anonymity becausethey weren’t authorized to releasesuch details.
Despite the attention, Iraq’smainly Shiite security forces havefailed to wage any successful coun-teroffensives against the insur-gents.

Ring,sentencehang inbalance
By ANDREA [email protected]
SYCAMORE – A woman whosewedding ring was held as evidencefor an armed robbery trial willhave to wait even longer before shecan get it back.
The ring was key evidenceagainst DemondHunt, a 22-year-oldMatteson man con-victed April 16 ofarmed robbery andaggravated batteryfor taking a cell-phone and pursecontaining the ringfrom two Univer-sity Heights office employees inNovember. A DeKalb County Jailofficer found the ring inside Hunt’scargo pants after he was arrestedDec. 5.
Prosecutors asked for DeKalbCounty Associate Judge John Ad-ams’ permission to return the ringto the woman, who wanted it backafter the six months or so it hasbeen held in evidence.
Prosecutors offered to take aphotograph of the ring to use as ev-idence instead.
But McAdams ruled Tuesdaythat the ring will continue to bekept as evidence until after the sen-tencing hearing and through anyappeals that are filed. Hunt facesbetween 21 and 75 years in prisonwhen he is sentenced Aug. 6.
“This woman certainly deservesto have her ring. There’s no ques-tion of that,” McAdams said. “Thesafest route is to keep it in evi-dence. It favors the state to keep itin evidence.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK – A draft of one of themost popular songs of all time, BobDylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone,” soldTuesday for $2 million, which the auc-tion house called a world record for apopular music manuscript.
A working draft of the finished songin Dylan’s own hand went to an uniden-tified bidder at Sotheby’s. The sellingprice, $2.045 million, included a buyer’spremium.
The manuscript is “the only knownsurviving draft of the final lyrics forthis transformative rock anthem,” So-theby’s said.
The draft is written in pencil on foursheets of hotel letterhead stationerywith revisions, additions, notes anddoodles: a hat, a bird, an animal withantlers. The stationery comes from theRoger Smith Hotel in Washington, D.C.
Dylan was 24 when he recorded thesong in 1965 about a debutante who be-comes a loner when she’s cast from up-per-class social circles.
“How does it feel To be on your own”it says in his handwriting. “No direc-tion home Like a complete unknownLike a rolling stone.”
Scrawls seem to reflect the artist’sexperimentation with rhymes.
The name “Al Capone” is scrawled
in the margin, with a line leading to thelyrics “Like a complete unknown.”
Another note says: “...dry vermouth,you’ll tell the truth...”
Sotheby’s described the seller asa longtime fan from California “whomet his hero in a non-rock context andbought directly from Dylan.” He was notidentified.
The manuscript was offered as partof Sotheby’s rock and pop music sale.
In 2010, John Lennon’s handwrittenlyrics for “A Day in the Life,” the finaltrack on the Beatles’ classic 1967 al-bum “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts ClubBand,” sold for $1.2 million, the recordfor such a sale.

ORLAND PARK – Some people walkthrough life wearing a cloak of fear.
Army Pfc. Aaron Toppen did not.The fallen soldier’s courage was
remembered Tuesdayat his funeral by U.S.Army Maj. General Jef-frey Snow. Toppen, 19,a Mokena resident, waskilled earlier this monthin Afghanistan.
“Did Aaron knowfear? Of course he did.We all do. But he did not
wear it,” Snow said.Snow said Toppen – who joined the
U.S. Army just two months shy of grad-uating from high school in 2013 – rep-resents “the best of men and womenwho serve, who answer our nation’scall.”
Hundreds attended the young man’sfuneral at Parkview Christian Churchin Orland Park. Thousands of otherslined the route of the funeral proces-sion as Toppen was taken to St. John’sCemetery in Mokena.
Toppen was among five Americantroops who died June 9 in southern Af-ghanistan from an airstrike in one ofthe deadliest friendly-fire incidents inthe war’s history. Military officials be-lieve the airstrike was called in afterthe Taliban ambushed Toppen’s unit.
The teen knew from an early age hewanted to be in the Army, Senior Pas-tor Tim Harlow said to Toppen’s familyand friends at the funeral service.
“There was a patriotism born deepin his soul from his earliest days,” hesaid.
Harlow recalled Toppen as a youngboy riding his bike up and down thestreets of Mokena as he belted out lyr-ics to the popular country song “ProudTo Be An American.”
Family and friends who spoke atthe service described Toppen as an“All-American boy” who loved base-ball, fishing and country music, and
was proud to serve his nation.Outside the church, Dustin Cam-
mack, spokesman for the Illinois Na-tional Guard, said several retired andcurrent military personnel attendedthe funeral to honor Toppen for his ser-vice.
“In the military, we’re a brother-hood, and when one of our own falls,we give them the respect that they de-serve,” Cammack said.
Cammack said he’s been in the mil-itary for as long as Toppen has beenalive. Toppen was just 6 years old whenthe war in Afghanistan first began.
“Today makes me reflect personallyon what I do as a service member andhow dangerous what we do really is,”he said. “This young man didn’t havemuch time on this Earth and unfortu-nately he paid the ultimate price. We’rehere to honor his service and what hehas given to us.”
After the service, Toppen’s flag-draped casket was carried to St. John’sCemetery by a black horse-drawn fu-
neral caisson. Members of the IllinoisPatriot Guard Riders, along with policeand military vehicles, led the funeralprocession from the church.
At the cemetery, Toppen’s moth-er, Pam Toppen, was honored with anAmerican flag folded by members ofthe armed forces – a custom in militaryfunerals – after it was lifted from herson’s casket.
This year has proven to be an excep-tionally difficult time for the Toppenfamily. Toppen’s father, Ronald, diedin February. The young soldier wasscheduled for deployment that samemonth, but stayed behind long enoughto attend his father’s funeral.
Toppen was buried beside his fatherTuesday.
Harlow said Toppen got a tattooinked across his chest before he wasdeployed overseas – a cross with twodog tags representing both of his grand-fathers’ service. The words “For those Ilove I sacrifice” accompany the tattoo,he said.

SYCAMORE – Many North-
ern Illinois University ath-
letes came to Sycamore for the
first time Tuesday night.
“Some of the student-ath-
letes tell me they’ve never
been here before,” said Mayor
Ken Mundy. “It’s nice to have
some town-gown relation-
ships over here, too.”
Discover Sycamore held a
Tuesdays on the Town event
in downtown Sycamore. The
theme was NIU Night, the sec-
ond year for the event, and
NIU athletes were on hand
to play games with children
from Sycamore. The events
are usually held on the second
Tuesday of the month, but this
week’s event was a resched-
uled NIU Night because the
original event was canceled
for rain.
However, it worked out
better for NIU Athletics.
“We’re here now for work-
outs,” said Ally Lehman, a
member of the women’s bas-
ketball team. “We wouldn’t
have been here for the first
event. But we’re having fun
and it looks like [the kids] are
having fun.”
Children could play in a
bounce house, listen to a DJ
and play basketball alongside
both men’s and women’s team
players.
Mundy said it’s important
for NIU and Sycamore to have
a connection to each other.
“Northern and Sycamore
have a lot in common,” Mun-
dy said. “We’re both growing
and trying to be best at what
we do. It’s good to work to-
gether and show NIU students
the communities they can be
involved in.”
Robert Biarnesen of Syca-
more brought his son, Leland,
7, to see what the event was all
about. Leland enjoyed play-
ing basketball alongside some
of NIU’s players.
“You put the defense on
them, didn’t you,” Biarnesen
said to his son.
Laura Gregory of Syca-
more is an NIU alum and
brought her daughters out to
the event. She said they en-
joyed meeting the cheerlead-
ers. Football, basketball and
volleyball were also repre-
sented at the event.
NIU cheerleader Kacie
Patterson participated in the
event for a second year.
‘”It’s fun signing auto-
graphs for the little kids,”
Patterson said. “It’s like they
think we’re famous.”
The event was also a
chance for NIU to introduce
The Yard, a new tailgating
concept that will begin this
fall at home football games.
Katie Berry, NIU Athletics as-
sistant director of marketing,
said a fan tailgating section
will be available on the west
side of the stadium. It will be
open admission and feature
live music, a beer garden, a
kids zone and more for each
home game.
Katelyn Fogle, Sycamore
Chamber of Commerce events
and marketing assistant, said
Tuesday’s event had one of
the series’ best turnouts, and
she said the partnership with
NIU is something she looks
forward to continuing.
“It’s fun and it’s nice that
the hoops are low enough to
dunk,” said Cassidy Glenn, a
member of the women’s bas-
ketball team.

DeKalb fast-tracks university bus projectBy KATIE DAHLSTROM
DeKALB – Without know-ing the full details of theproject, DeKalb City Councilmembers gave Northern Illi-nois University a green lightto create a bus-staging areaalong Normal Road.
The decision means NIUwill be able to skip a processthat would normally takeseveral months and involvemore input from the CityCouncil. Instead, City Man-ager Anne Marie Gaura willissue NIU a permit and work
with university officials asthey design and construct abus-staging area in front ofthe Holmes Student Center.
University officials wantthe area to be ready for thefall semester, a timeline thetypical city approval processwould not accommodate.
City Attorney Dean Frie-ders explained to aldermenthey were voting on whetherthey supported the concept,but that areas such as safetyconcerns and impact on pub-lic utilities in the area wouldbe worked out between uni-versity and city staff.
“We’re trying to be flex-ible and work with a veryimportant local business,”Frieders said.
Bill Nicklas, NIU’s vicepresident of community rela-
tions and pub-lic safety, saidt h e c h a n g ewould shift allHuskie busesfrom the westto the east sideof the HolmesStudent Cen-ter. The area
would be big enough foreight buses to load and un-
load students under a cano-py. Buses would then headsouth on Normal Road.
Pushing the buses fromthe west to the east sidewould allow students to walkacross Carroll Avenue fromthe Holmes Student Centerto Neptune halls withoutworrying about bus traffic,Nicklas said, adding thechange would be evaluatedin a year.
“The idea is to start grad-ually using that area less fortransportation and more forstudent purposes, to makethat a more comfortable
walking area, for pedestri-ans and bicycles,” Nicklassaid. “So there is a changeand there is a shift to meetthe market.”
The plan drew some irefrom aldermen, with 3rdWard Alderwoman Kris-ten Lash and 5th Ward Al-derman Ron Naylor votingagainst the motion becausethey opposed NIU moving soquickly.
Lash raised concernsabout pedestrians crossingNormal Road. She noted safe-ty could become more of anissue if the university staged
buses on a road that alreadysees some speeding drivers.
“I hate to kill a plan, butthere’s a number of big pub-lic safety concerns,” Lashsaid. “I don’t know if I’d becomfortable passing theplans without seeing thoseaddressed.”
Nicklas contended Lash’sconcerns about people speed-ing along Normal Roadwould be present with orwithout moving the bus stag-ing area. He also pointed outthe road has several speedbumps and is monitored bycampus police.

Police say locals stole pot,phones from DeKalb home
By ANDREA [email protected]
DeKALB – When two men
broke into a DeKalb home
early Monday, one of them
showed the victims the bul-
lets in his gun to illustrate
the seriousness of the situa-
tion, authorities said.
Police say Tyler J. Mejia,
21, of the 5500 block of South
Peace Road, Sycamore, and
Genaro Flores, 19, of the 1100
block of South Sixth Street,
DeKalb, entered the home at
the 300 block of Ash Court
about 2:49 a.m. Monday
armed with handguns. They
threatened to shoot those in
the house, and during the
robbery, hit one of the vic-
tims in the mouth so hard
the wound required stitches.
Both Flores and Mejia
were charged with home in-
vasion and armed robbery,
which typically are punish-
able by between six and 30
years in prison. If the men
are found guilty of using a
firearm in the crime, they
would face at least 21 years
in prison.
The victims told police
three men entered the home
and stole cellphones, mari-
juana and cash from them.
They recognized Flores, who
stored several of the stolen
items in his bedroom, court
records show.
DeKalb police Detective
Lt. Bob Redel said the vic-
tims and suspects had been
feuding. Flores used to be
friends with the victims.
“Obviously, it escalated
and got out of control,” Redel
said.
Charges also are pending
against a 15-year-old boy, Re-
del said.
Flores told police Mejia
also participated in the rob-
bery, but Mejia told police
that he was in Elgin at the
time. However, police later
found text messages stating
Mejia was in DeKalb at the
time of the robbery and was
at Flores’ home after the
robbery, according to court
records.
Both men were arrested
Monday at Flores’ home and
remained in jail Tuesday.
Mejia’s bond was set Tues-
day at $500,000. Flores’ bond
was set at $150,000.
Mejia is next due in court
on July 8, while Flores is
next due in court July 1.

Elburn supporting theVAC’s bus depot plan
By ERIC [email protected]
ELBURN – Elburn officialsare supporting a project thatwould provide daily shuttlebus service from DeKalb to theMetra station in Elburn.
Elburn Village PresidentDave Anderson recently senta letter to U.S. Department ofTransportation Secretary An-thony Foxx stating his supportfor the Voluntary Action Cen-ter’s plan for a $15.7 millionbus depot. The center, whichoperates the bus service, isrequesting $11.4 million infederal funds, which wouldbe matched by $3.5 million instate funds and $750,000 in lo-cal funding.
State funding already hasbeen secured and DeKalbCounty has already committeda $750,000 land donation to theproject. The bus depot wouldbe built on 10 acres on BarberGreene Road near Peace Roadin DeKalb, and would replacethe depot at Peace and Bethanyroads.
“It gives people a chanceto come to Elburn,” Andersonsaid. “We’ve got plenty of posi-tive things going on.”
The project would providepark-and-ride shuttle servicefrom the new depot to the El-burn Metra station. About 100parking spots would be avail-able for commuters to take ashuttle bus to the Metra sta-tion in Elburn, Zucker said.Although officials have yet towork out the exact details, theyexpect to run the service to thestation daily, with the nearly19-mile one-way bus trip cost-ing about $5.
A bus service shuttlingriders from Northern IllinoisUniversity to the Elburn Me-tra station operates on Fridaysand Sundays, he said.
“This would add to it,” An-derson said.
He also pointed out the en-vironmental benefits of pro-viding additional public trans-portation.
“It helps to minimize ex-haust fumes from automo-biles,” Anderson said.
Police: Kingston man leftfrog carcasses on a porch
By JILLIAN [email protected]
KINGSTON – A 21-year-old
Kingston man faces a misde-
meanor charge for allegedly
dumping 15 to 20 frog carcasses
on his neighbor’s porch Mon-
day.
Jay J. Behles, of the 300
block of Willow Street, re-
mained in DeKalb County Jail
on Tuesday afternoon, un-
able to post $500 bail. He was
charged with criminal damage
to property, as the frog carcass-
es damaged the mat or carpet-
ing on the porch, DeKalb Coun-
ty Sheriff Chief Deputy Gary
Dumdie said.
Behles had been hunting
frogs Monday with two other
people, Dumdie said.
“When they got back to his
place, after he cleaned them, he
took all of the
remains and
dumped them
on the neigh-
bor’s porch,”
said Dumdie,
adding police
did not believe
Behles had any
intent beyond
bothering the neighbor.
The woman found the car-
casses about 9 p.m. Monday
when she returned from work.
Behles was sentenced Feb.
20 to two years of probation
for retail theft. He also was
ordered to serve two months
in jail, complete 100 hours of
community service, and finish
drug addiction treatment.

For Peggy Doty, an environ-mental and energy steward-ship educator with Universityof Illinois Extension, the scarypart about the monarchs’ de-cline is what it means for otherpollinators and insects.
“I think the monarch is aneasy poster child,” Doty said.“But this is happening to a lotof other pollinators. No polli-nators, no food.”
Disappearing foodPat Miller spends her days
educating people in northernIllinois about conservationissues, such as the decliningpopulation of monarch butter-flies, the state insect that ap-pears in Illinois from May toSeptember. She’s a conserva-tion specialist with MonarchWatch, a nationwide organiza-tion based out of the Universi-ty of Kansas.
“I think the average personshould care about monarchsbecause it’s an indicator,”Miller said. “What’s happen-ing to monarchs is happeningto other insects. We just can’ttrack them.”
Scientists measure the mon-arch population by observinghow much area they cover inoverwintering sites in Mexico.According to Monarch Watch,when measured this winter,monarchs covered 1.65 acres, adismal figure compared to the51.8 acres they covered at theirpeak in the winter of 1997.
“We don’t think they’ll everachieve the numbers theyonce had,” Miller said. “Thegood thing, though, about in-sects is they can produce atrapid rates.”
Monarchs exclusively laytheir eggs on milkweed, be-cause it provides all the nu-trients the black, white andyellow banded caterpillarsneed. After they mature intobutterflies, they will migratethousands of miles to Mexico,Miller said.
However, Miller explained,milkweed plants are disap-pearing because of things suchas modern farming practices.
Milkweed previously thrived
along fence rows or among
corn and soybean fields. But
milkweed has been a victim of
advancements in herbicides
and disappearing fencerows,
Miller said.
Ensuring milkweed sur-
vives so monarchs can thrive
is far from farmers’ minds,
said Russ Higgins, an educator
at the University of Illinois Ex-
tension farm in Waterman. Al-
lowing milkweed can decrease
a farmer’s crop yield with very
little payoff, he said.
While beautiful, monarchs
are not prolific pollinators.
Even if they were, corn and
soybeans don’t require polli-
nation.
“What does the farmer get
out of it other than supporting
the monarch population?” Hig-
gins asked. “As management
plans are made currently, it’s
not something high on the ra-
dar. I don’t think producers
are intentionally trying to
harm the monarch population,
but clearly farmers have to
make a living.”
Higgins also pointed to
places outside farm fields that
used to host bountiful milk-
weed, such as well-manicured
yards. He suggested homeown-
ers find a place for milkweed
in their gardens, a task that
some local homeowners have
already undertaken.
Supporting monarchsCustomers flock to mon-
arch-attracting plants like
butterfly or swamp milkweed
and nectar-rich flowers at Blu-
men Gardens in Sycamore,
said co-owner Joel Barczak.
Barczak made it a personal
mission to foster the monarch
population about a dozen years
ago after he traveled to the fir
forests in Mexico during Jan-
uary.
“There had been a cold snap
and there had to have been one
feet deep of dead or dormant
monarchs,” Barczak said.
He recommended creating
a 5-by-5-foot area in a yard
with milkweed and nectar-pro-
ducing flowers as a means to
offer monarchs a place to eat
and lay eggs.
Kowalski has yet to see a mon-
arch this year, but she knows at
least one was in the milkweed
she purposely planted three
years ago outside her home.
About a week ago she dis-
covered four caterpillars no
bigger than the space between
lines on a sheet of notebook
paper and one slightly bigger.
She took them inside her home
and placed them in a tupper-
ware container with plenty of
milkweed for them to eat.
The larger caterpillar has
already progressed through
the five stages of skin shed-
ding, known as instars. The
transforming insect now
hangs in a chrysalis from a
butterfly pavilion, a mesh tube
that looks like it could double
as a laundry basket. She ex-
pects it will emerge as a butter-
fly in five days, at which point
she’ll release it.
“I’ll feel happy,” Kowalski
said. “And I’ll feel hope.”

Milkweed key to monarch survival
Danielle Guerra – [email protected]
Two monarch caterpillars sit on milkweed leaves on DeKalb resident Mary Kowalski’s front porch on Mon-day. Kowalski found five caterpillars on milkweed leaves in her rain garden and plans on releasing themafter they transform into monarchs.
About monarchs
Millions of monarch butterfliesmigrate each year to overwinter inthe fir forests in central Mexico, ajourney that is 1,500 linear miles onaverage. The migration is greaterthan that of any other insect andstarts in late August. Most of themonarchs that migrate each fall arethree to four generations removedfrom the monarchs that migratedthe previous year.

from the DeKalb Best Buy on
the same day, June 14, court
records show.

Lawmaker signs mostsubpoenas for Ill. programCHICAGO– Five former state
officials under Gov. Pat Quinn’sadministrationwill be subpoe-naed to testify about a troubled2010 anti-violence program nextmonth, but the rejection of twoother subpoenas by a key Dem-ocratic lawmaker on Tuesdayreignited claims of election-yearpolitics.The subpoenas for officials
including Quinn’s former chief of
staff and a deputy chief neededthe signature of state Rep. FrankMautino after a Legislative AuditCommission subcommitteevoted for themMonday.Mautino,of Spring Valley, said Tuesdaythat he didn’t agreewith twoothers because their dutieswereoutside the scope of an auditthat highlighted problemswithQuinn’s Neighborhood RecoveryInitiative. The bipartisan commis-sion reviews and approves stateaudits.But afterMautino’s decision, his
co-chair, state Sen. Jason Barick-man, a Bloomington Republican,accused Democrats of thwartingthe fact-finding process.“It’s extremely disappointing
to think that the Democratsare trying to distance someindividuals from this program andinhibit our ability to get answersto individuals that we agreedupon,” he said. “These are theunfortunate games that wewereconcerned about.”

A weeklong fight for controlof Iraq’s largest oil refinerystretched continued Tuesdaywith helicopter gunships at-tacking what appeared to beformations of Sunni militantspreparing for another assaulton the facility in Beiji, a topmilitary official said.
Chief military spokesmanLt. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawihas denied reports that the fa-cility has fallen to the rebels.
Government air forces alsoreportedly bombed the town ofQaim near the Syrian borderon Tuesday, days after it wasseized by Islamic extremists inAnbar province, west of Bagh-dad. Provincial governmentspokesman Dhari al-Rishawisaid 17 civilians were killed.
Kerry traveled to Irbil, thecapital of the self-rule Kurdishregion on Tuesday, a day after
meeting with al-Maliki and oth-er Iraqi officials in Baghdad,where he pushed for them toadopt new policies that wouldgive more authority to Iraq’sminority Sunnis and Kurds.
Kerry said after the Bagh-dad meetings that all the lead-ers agreed to start the processof seating a new parliamentby July 1, which will advancea constitutionally requiredtimetable for naming a presi-dent, prime minister and a newCabinet. Al-Maliki’s politicalbloc won the most seats in par-liamentary elections in Aprilbut must assemble a majoritycoalition in the legislature inorder to secure a third term forthe Shiite leader.
Kerry has repeatedly saidthat it’s up to Iraqis – not theU.S. or other nations – to selecttheir leaders. But he also hasnoted bitterness and growingimpatience among all of Iraq’smajor sects and ethnic groupswith al-Maliki’s government.
Barzani’s support will becrucial for resolving the po-litical impasse because Kurdsrepresent about 20 percent ofIraq’s population and usuallyvote as a unified bloc.
He told Kerry that Kurdsare seeking “a solution for thecrisis that we have witnessed.”But, he said, “we are facing anew reality and a new Iraq.”
Barzani did not elaborate,but he was apparently refer-ring to the Kurds now con-trolling Kirkuk and other areasin northern Iraq that they havelong sought to incorporate intotheir region.
Kerry said at the start ofan hour-long meeting that theKurdish security forces havebeen “really critical” in help-ing restrain the insurgents.
“This is a very critical timefor Iraq, and the governmentformation challenge is the cen-tral challenge that we face,”Kerry said. He said Iraqi lead-ers must “produce the broad-
based, inclusive governmentthat all the Iraqis I have talkedto are demanding.”
The U.S. believes a newpower-sharing agreement inBaghdad would soothe angerdirected at the majority Shi-ite government, a rage that isthought to have fueled the on-going insurgency. Iraq’s popu-lation is about 60 percent ShiiteMuslim, whose leaders rose topower with U.S. help after the2003 fall of former PresidentSaddam Hussein and his Sun-ni-dominated regime.
Two senior State Depart-ment officials who attended themeeting said Kerry pre-emp-tively brought up the issue ofthe Kurdish region’s “self-de-termination” – its yearslongdesire to create an independentstate – and told Barzani thatIraq will remain stronger if itis united. They spoke on thecondition of anonymity in ex-change for releasing the detailsof the private meeting.

Keeping the ring as evi-
dence allows prosecutors to
point to its small size to pro-
vide a reason for why officers
may have not found the ring
when first searching Hunt,
McAdams said. Testimony
during Hunt’s two-day jury
trial revealed police searched
Hunt multiple times before
they found the ring in his car-
go pants pocket. One of the
women who were robbed iden-
tified the ring as hers.
Authorities said Hunt
pointed a gun at the two wom-
en while wearing a mask and
demanded money from the
safe. When they told him they
didn’t have access to the safe,
he hit one across the face and
stole a cellphone and a purse.
Police found the stolen cell-
phone in Hunt’s girlfriend’s
University Heights apart-
ment, along with a loaded gun
and Hunt’s wallet.
Both on Tuesday and
during the trial, defense at-
torney Chip Criswell empha-
sized that Hunt’s girlfriend’s
testimony was the only thing
connecting Hunt to the crime
– until police discovered the
ring after they interrogated
and arrested Hunt.
His girlfriend, Mariah
Romero, 22, of University
Park, received a plea deal that
allowed her to avoid prison
time in exchange for testify-
ing against him. Prosecutors
promised to drop the armed
robbery charge against her,
as well as an unrelated retail
theft charge, and allow her
to plead guilty to obstructing
justice and serve a year of
conditional discharge, which
is a type of nonreporting pro-
bation. The plea deal has not
been entered before a judge
yet.
DeKalb County Assistant
State’s Attorney Duke Har-
ris said Criswell’s defense
implied that police somehow
placed the ring in Hunt’s
pocket.
“You can sugarcoat it any
way you want, but that’s what
he suggested,” Harris said.
Criswell denied that he
ever pointed at DeKalb police
detective Paul Mott as plac-
ing the ring in Hunt’s pocket,
saying other people were in-
volved in the search.
Hunt was scheduled to be
sentenced Tuesday, but the
sentencing was postponed be-
cause Hunt did not participate
in a pre-sentencing investiga-
tive report that includes his
prior criminal history.

Sentencing postponed
If the goal is to bring moremanufacturing and industrial jobsto DeKalb County, creating a newenterprise zone here is a good idea.
But it will require a committedeffort from local officials, and eventhen, there are no guarantees ofsuccess.
The DeKalb County Board hasbeen through this process once be-fore on a more limited scale. In 2009,County Board members voted toexpand an existing zone in Mendotato include the Monsanto operationin Waterman. That effort came at acost of an estimated $25,000 a yearin state utility taxes for eight years,but also spurred Monsanto to invest$20 million to update and expand itsoperation.
The contentious debate at thetime was thought to have been less
about enterprise zones and moreabout hard feelings toward Monsan-to.
There are almost 100 enterprisezones in Illinois, but aside from theisland that serves Monsanto, there isnot one in DeKalb County.
That means that there are severalareas around the state that have acompetitive edge on our area whenit comes to attracting new industry,or encouraging businesses to expandtheir operations. Enterprise zonesare designated by the state of Illinoisin collaboration with local govern-ments. They make new and existingbusinesses eligible for tax incentivesthat encourage creation of new jobsand retention of existing jobs.
Some criticize the use of thesezones as another form of corporatewelfare, facilitating more give-
backs to big business. Illinois’ fiscaldisaster is well documented, andsome would say that there’s no needto extend even more tax breaks tobusinesses.
The response is that governmentshould see payback in the form of jobcreation and retention and more sta-ble, healthier communities. That’s atrade-off worth accepting.
To put DeKalb County on a levelplaying field with competing com-munities around the state and the
country, local economic developmentofficials plan this year to create anapplication for a new local enterprisezone. They have hired a consultingfirm to help in the development ofa plan and representatives of localgovernments will meet today withDeKalb County Economic Develop-ment Corp. officials to talk aboutwhat a proposal might look like.
Creating zone boundaries willbe a challenge. Communities fromKingston to Sandwich no doubtwould like a shot at benefiting fromthe incentive program. There willhave to be cooperation and collabora-tion on drawing boundaries that arenot only fair but also will pass therequirements of state regulators.
There are many vacant industrialsites available in DeKalb County.The critical question is, which areas
should be targeted to benefit thecounty’s workforce as a whole?
Applications for new enterprisezones are due by Dec. 31. After that,they will be reviewed by the Illi-nois Department of Commerce andEconomic Opportunity, and thenselections will be made by a panelappointed by the governor.
If DeKalb County is awarded anew enterprise zone, it will have toappoint someone to manage it andkeep records, so that the public cansee the results over time.
There are no guarantees of ap-proval or of new development.
Bringing new jobs to the areashould be the goal of people at everylevel of government, however, andthey should work collaboratively onthis project, which could further thatgoal.
New enterprise zone needed for countyFor the record
If DeKalb County is awarded a new enter-prise zone, it will have to appoint someoneto manage it and keep records, so that thepublic can see the results over time.

Unless you are preternaturally geographicallyattuned, you are probably unaware that Baker, Jarvisand Howland islands, Johnston and Palmyra atollsand Kingman Reef are part of the United States – ter-ritories actually.
You may have heard of Wake Island because of itsgallant, but ultimately unsuccessful defense againstthe Japanese during World War II. According tothe CIA’s handbook, it alone of that Pacific group isinhabited – by a rotating group of about 150 militaryand civilians who maintain its airfield.
And, oh yes, during the 1950s we conducted nucle-ar tests in the vicinity. But other than those inci-dents, the territories are largely forgotten. Yet thesetiny specks of land are in one of the remotest partsof the Pacific and, as such, have become an almostunrivaled haven for a rich variety of marine life fromsea birds to fish to marine mammals to coral reefs, alegacy of nature that is being endangered elsewhereby overfishing, dredging, and mineral, oil and naturalgas exploration.
Last week, President Barack Obama used hisexecutive authority to expand the marine sanctuarysurrounding the island and atolls to 782,000 squaremiles and was immediately denounced by congressio-nal Republicans for arrogant, unilateral and “imperi-al” abuse of executive authority, although, in fact, hehas that power under a 1906 law.
Showing its persistent problem with short-termmemory loss, the GOP seemed to have forgotten thatthe Pacific Remote Islands Marine Sanctuary wascreated by President George W. Bush in one of hisfiner moments shortly before leaving office in 2009.The original Bush sanctuary, now greatly expandedby Obama, was 87,000 square miles.
House Natural Resources Committee ChairmanDoc Hastings, who used the word “imperial” todescribe Obama’s entirely legal action, said if marinesanctuaries are to be created, they should go throughCongress, dooming their designations to inaction inthe current political climate.
Asked by NBC’s Chuck Todd if he had objected toBush’s executive designation of the marine sanctu-ary, Hastings lamely replied that he hadn’t been amember of the committee at the time.
Rather than having acted imperially, Obama mayhave acted in timely fashion. The major nations areincreasingly asserting aggressive claims to fishingand mineral rights in the world’s oceans – in theArctic, where the melting of the ice cap has mademore of that ocean accessible and, most especially,in the South China Sea where conflicting claims tosuch obscure outcroppings as the Spratly Islandshave come close to a military flashpoint betweenChina and rivals like Japan, Vietnam and the Phil-ippines.
Bush and Obama, whatever their other failings,will likely be remembered favorably by history fortheir foresight in protecting that obscure, remote andecologically important marine paradise.
Evansville (Indiana) Courier & Press
Beware unimaginable; stakes always highThe signs were all there.This is what jumps out at you in pe-
rusing postmortems of the two greatestsurprise attacks in American history. Inthe days and weeks leading up to Dec. 7,1941 and Sept. 11, 2001, there were numer-ous clues that seem neon in hindsight, butwhich no one pursued.
Or, as then-CIA Director George Tenetfamously said of 9/11: “The system wasblinking red.”
In response to each attack, exhaustiveprobes were launched to determine whoseincompetence allowed the disaster tohappen. While there’s obvious value insifting through tragedies past in hopes ofpreventing tragedies future, it has alwaysseemed to me the ultimate failure in thosecalamities was not of competence but,rather, imagination. Those in charge didnot guard against what happened becausewhat happened was literally beyond theirability to conceive.
That lesson of security and militaryunreadiness has chilling application to ourunreadiness on another front:
Writing in this space a few days back,I criticized the GOP for pretending thereis some debate over whether humanactivity is raising the temperature of theplanet when “that finding is accepted by 97percent of climate scientists” – a figure Igot from the American Association for theAdvancement of Science, the world’s larg-est general science group. After 20 yearswriting this column, I am not often sur-
prised by reader reaction. I know a certainsegment of my audience will go ballistic ifI argue some controversial point – like thatracism exists or Muslims are human.
But I admit, I was very surprised atthe amount of emails – and anger– thatsentence engendered. There is not nearlyenough space here to get into the weeds ofevery objection, but they boiled down tothis: The statistic comes from a flawed orskewed study.
I checked this with the AAAS’s Dr.Marshall Shepherd, who is the director ofthe Atmospheric Sciences Program at theUniversity of Georgia and in 2013 servedas president of the American Meteorolog-ical Society. His response: The 97 percentfigure is consistent across “numerous stud-ies, not just one or two, so there is consil-ience” – a convergence of different streamsof knowledge into a consensus.
Even so, my critics have a point whenthey say the 97 percent figure quoted hereand numerous other places is misleadingin one sense. Turns out it is not 97 percentof climate scientists who believe humanactivity is causing global warming, but97 percent of those who have expressedan opinion. Sixty-six percent of studiesby climate scientists actually express no
opinion, according to one source. It’s animportant distinction.
On the other hand, 97 percent is 97percent, even if it’s just 97 percent ofthose who have an opinion. Virtually noscientist (0.7 percent) rejects the idea ofhuman-caused global warming outright.Moreover, the price we pay if the 97percent are right and we do nothing is in-finitely greater than the one we pay if theyare wrong and we take action.
All that said, I tend to believe the resis-tance here – at least among politicians andlay persons – has less to do with a failureof science than with an all-too familiarfailure of imagination. If it was impossibleto conceive of terrorists using airplanes asmissiles or the Japanese striking a Pacificfortress, how difficult is it to conceive theapocalyptic future climate change scienceis predicting – rising oceans, routine superstorms, hellish droughts?
On those two awful mornings, Ameri-cans slept in the blithe assurance of whatcould never happen only to awaken to theawful reality of what already had. We hadseen the signs.
We simply convinced ourselves they didnot mean what they did.
Well, the stakes now are vastly higher.And once again, the system is blinking red.

Coaches relieved to end baseball rivalryCavanaugh had8-4 edge coachingagainst Howells
By JAMES [email protected]
There were three games ev-
ery year that Sycamore base-
ball coach Jason Cavanaugh
and DeKalb coach Jake How-
ells hated: When their teams
played each other in a confer-ence series.
The coaching colleaguesweren’t caught up in the fer-vor fans have created in thecrosstown rivalry. Instead,as close friends, neither tookjoy when the other’s teamlost.
T h o s e h e a d - t o - h e a dmatchups will be a thing ofthe past, however, with How-ells resignation as the Barbs’baseball coach at the end ofthe season. Howells plans to
marry his fiancée, Molly Le-verty, in August and moveto the Minneapolis-St. Paularea.
“Whether it is golf, cards
or Ping-Pong, Jason and I arevery competitive,” said How-ells, a 2000 Sycamore gradwhose Barbs teams were 69-65-1 in his four seasons as coach.“I never really liked coachingagainst him, but by the endof the day we were still greatfriends. We play 35 (baseball)games a year. But the threeagainst each other, we justwanted them to be over with.
“If we could have called theseries a 1-1 tie, we would havedone it.”
Cavanaugh has been theSpartans baseball coach forthe past 17 seasons. As he pre-pared to play golf with How-ells at Sycamore Golf Clubthis week, he said he lookedforward to competing againstHowells, who he coached forthree years at Sycamore. Out-side the dugout, Howells andCavanaugh have competedagainst each other in golf andbasketball for 19 years.

Class of 2015 looks to build on program’s success last yearBy TRAVIS ZUELLIG
The incoming seniors on DeKalb’sfootball team are primed to end theirprep playing careers with a bang thisfall.
The seniors, led by running backDre Brown, receiver Rudy Lopez Jr.and middle linebacker Jake Kuyken-dall, were a big part of last year’s 5-5campaign that saw the Barbs return
to the playoffs (Class 6A), and theyare expecting better in their last sea-son.
“This is the most exciting seasonthat I have been a part of,” Brownsaid. “We have been talking aboutour senior season since eighth grade,so it is a pretty big deal.”
For this upcoming season to bea success, the Barbs will need a bigyear out of Illini commit Brown.Brown, who announced Tuesday he
will enroll at the University of Illi-nois after this fall semester, was aDaily Chronicle all-area selectionafter scoring 20 touchdowns in hisjunior year.
Last season also was Matt Weck-ler’s first as DeKalb’s football coach.Weckler said this year’s seniors havethe talent and dedication to build onlast year’s success.

Scott ‘fortunate’ to land with BearsBy ARTHUR ARKUSH
LAKE FOREST – Trivia time.What Bears defensive end notnamed Jared Allen has recordedseven sacks in a single season?
Need a clue? He’s new to theteam this year and began his ca-reer with the Oakland Raiders.
One more hint: His 40-yard dashtime ranks as the highest amongany Bears defensive lineman.
Chances are Trevor Scottwasn’t the first name that came tomind, but he’s the correct answer.
Scott, 29, was signed to a one-
year contract a week before thebeginning of free agency, whenthe prospect of the Bears landingLamarr Houston, Willie Youngand Jared Allen to fortify theiredges merely was a pipe dream.He might have been your second
or third thought now that thatdream is reality, but Scott isn’tthinking twice about his deci-sion to sign with the Bears.
“We are deep on the defensiveline, but that’s what makes forgreat competition,” Scott toldChicago Football last Thursday,the final day of the Bears’ off-season program before a month-long break before training camp.“The top will rise.”
A fast rise accurately de-scribes the start of Scott’s NFLcareer.

Veteran safety Ryan Mundy wants to improve his coverage against tight ends in his first season with theBears.
By NATE [email protected]
When the final huddle ofminicamp broke, Ryan Mundyretreated to his locker, wherehis Bears pads lay on the floorin an unzipped bag.
The gray plastic glim-mered a bit under the HalasHall lights. It’s been his sincehe signed a contract with theBears, but after OTAs andminicamp without pads, ithas yet to receive a Mundyscratch. Does the sixth-yearsafety feel an itch?
“Right now? No,” he said.“Maybe in a few weeks.”
He’s referring to trainingcamp, which will start July25 in Bourbonnais. He’ll laceup with the pads tight on hisframe, and he’ll finally showthe team what he’d promisedhe’d bring with him from hisdays in Pittsburgh and NewYork. In a few weeks, Mundywill hit people.
But Thursday, as he stuffedclothing into travel bags andreadied to leave, Mundy stoodcontrary to the archaic view ofNFL safeties. He’d just spentthe final practice in shorts,where hitting wasn’t allowed.Instead, he performed drillsin which he ran backward at a45-degree angle until the quar-terback threw the ball on anout pattern, which is the mo-ment he’d break on the routefor an interception.
Hitting might not be ev-erything for an NFL safety,but timing is, and the start ofa five-week vacation beforeminicamp is Mundy’s time tomove. He’d spend the next dayand a half stuffing more equip-ment into travel bags andboxes to transport to his firsthouse in Chicago.
The only thing separatinghis pads from the items he hasyet to pack is that he knows ex-actly where those need to go.
This part is as important asany other. Mundy isn’t join-ing just any NFL defense. He’snot moving to any old town todo it, either. He’s joining theBears, a unit that struggled tostop anybody a year ago in atown where fourth-and-long issupposed to be both an open-ing and closing act.
“Anytime you think of theChicago Bears, you think oftoughness, particularly on de-
fense,” Mundy said.Toughness. It’s the senti-
ment that has echoed throughthe Halas Hall walls all week.Coach Marc Trestman saidit particularly was lackinglast year, his first in Chicago,when the Bears went 8-8 andfinished 30th in the league indefense.
In no game was it moreevident than the last, the onethat mattered most, when onfourth-and-8, Aaron Rodgersdropped back and scrambledto his left before heaving theball to the end zone. It felt likeit soared forever until it fellinto the arms of Randall Cobbfor what would be the divi-sion-winning score.
Nobody was back thereto cover Cobb. Chris Contemissed his assignment.
So the Bears went out andgot Mundy, who switchedoff with Antrel Rolle at thetwo safety spots in New Yorklast season. They also signedprized defensive ends JaredAllen and Lamarr Houstonand drafted two players – cor-nerback Kyle Fuller and safetyBrock Vereen – who have beenworking with the first teamthroughout OTAs and mini-camp.
It became painfully obvioushow Rodgers’ final heave witha hurt collarbone gripped theorganization during the offsea-son, when the Bears would gosix months with it being thelast memory of football theyhad. It’s why they have Mundyand the other defensive backsrunning so many interceptiondrills. They need turnovers.
And in that sense, they’ll beasking Mundy to tweak a bit ofwho he is. In six seasons – onlylast year as a starter – Mundyhas only two interceptions.
It’s a part of him he needs toadd to the house.
“I came in here as an openbook, as a sponge, learninghow the Chicago Bears, Coach(Mel) Tucker, Coach (Jon)Hoke and (assistant) ChrisHarris want me to play safe-ty,” Mundy said.
But the Bears are look-ing for answers as well, onesthey couldn’t find during lastyear’s forgettable defensivepossessions. They used freeagency to acquire establishedstarters such as Mundy, Al-len and Houston in addition
to what they added throughthe draft. Whereas some start-ers are rookies they’ll morphand shape into their model ofa Bears defender, others theyare trusting to bring their ownbrand of defensive instincts.
“You don’t have to reinventyourself because obviously,I did something right to gethere,” Mundy said. “They likesomething that I did before, soyou have to hold onto that a lit-tle bit.”
Hoke admitted as much thisweek.
“You can tell he’s played,”Hoke said. “He’s a veteran,and he really doesn’t get toopanicked. He understandsfootball, he’s been playing a lotof pro football so it’s been goodfrom that standpoint.”
Mundy hails from Pitts-burgh, where in the city, hegrew up playing safety anddreaming like all the other kidsto one day play for the vaunt-ed Steelers defense. When the2008 NFL Draft came, Mundygot that chance. The Steelerstook him in the sixth round.They later cut him, signed himto the practice squad and thensigned him to a long-term dealto work with acclaimed safe-ties Troy Polamalu and RyanClark. Mundy said he loved it.
But eventually he had tomove from there, too. He cameto New York, leaving the No.1 defense for one ranked 31st,but one where he could start.
As he settles into his thirdNFL locker room and a defenselooking to flip the page, Mun-dy introduces himself to team-mates and residents who havelived in Chicago for years. Hetells them about where he’scome from as well as wherehe’s moving to. Along the way,he reminds them that yourpast isn’t all you can be in thisworld.
“Look around this lockerroom,” Mundy said. “We’vegot guys like Jared Allen,Lance Briggs coming back,Charles Tillman. We have alot of talent. Lamarr Houston.We’ve just got to go out thereand do our jobs. We’ve takenenough criticism throughoutthe offseason and there’s a lotof question marks surround-ing us, but the time will comewhen we have to go out thereand prove it, and we’ll beready for that.”
Timing is everythingfor safetyMundy

Sox end5-gameslide
By DAVID GINSBURGThe Associated Press
BALTIMORE – Jose Quin-tana allowed one run in sev-en innings, Gordon Beckhamhomered and the White Soxbeat the Baltimore Orioles, 4-2,Tuesday night to end a five-game losing streak.
Alexei Ramirez had twohits and scoredtwice for the last-place Sox, whohad lost nine of 11overall and eightstraight on theroad.
Quintana (4-7)gave up six hits,struck out eighta n d w a l k e dthree. The left-hander was 0-3 infour starts sinceMay 26.
One night after blowing aninth-inning lead in the seriesopener, Sox closer Ronald Belis-ario entered in the ninth withno outs and a runner on first.He allowed a pinch-hit RBI sin-gle to Delmon Young before get-ting pinch-hitter Ryan Flahertyto bounce into a double play.
Belisario’s eighth savesealed a much-needed win forthe Sox, whose five-game skiddropped them a season-highseven games under .500.

Injury haltsDE’s ascent
The Raiders’ sixth-rounddraft pick out of Buffalo in2008, the converted collegetight end, with only two yearsof defense under his belt atthe time, had 12 combinedsacks while appearing in all32 games at both end and line-backer in his first two seasons.His performance earned Scotta starting job in 2010 before atorn ACL suffered in Week 11halted his quick ascent.
The timing couldn’t havebeen worse. Scott’s comebackattempt was marred by theNFL lockout, an offseason inwhich injured players wereleft twisting in the wind – with-out the benefit of supervisionby team trainers – and Scottfell out of the rotation in 2011,his final year in Oakland.
“It was just my path in theleague,” he recalls. Scott land-ed with the New England Pa-triots in 2012, recording threesacks while working mostlyin a rotation, before signing inTampa before the third presea-son game last year.
It’s been a circuitous NFLroute for Scott, one that hasgiven him a fresh perspectiveon his latest opportunity withthe Bears.
“I was very fortunate theBears called in the offseason,”he said. “Everything has gonepretty smooth. It was nice toget into an offseason programthis year, just learning aboutwhat ‘The Bear Way’ is.”

ROUNDUP
Ugliness reigns asUruguay edges Italy
The ASSOCIATED PRESS
NATAL, Brazil – Captain Di-
ego Godin scored in the 81st min-
ute as Uruguay edged 10-man
Italy, 1-0, Tuesday to reach the
second round of the World Cup,
a victory overshadowed by a bit-
ing incident involving Luis Su-
arez.
Godin rose above a crowd of
defenders to meet a corner with
his left shoulder and veteran
goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon had
no chance.
Moments earlier, replays
showed Suarez apparently bite
the shoulder of Italy defender Gi-
orgio Chiellini as the pair clashed
in the Italian penalty area.
Suarez already was sanc-
tioned with a heavy ban for bit-
ing Chelsea defender Branislav
Ivanovic in the English Premier
League in 2013 and FIFA can
sanction players for biting with
bans of up to two years.
Chiellini said Suarez should
have been sent off and that the
red card for Italy midfielder
Claudio Marchisio never should
have been given.
“The red for Marchisio and
not sending off Suarez were ri-
diculous,” Chiellini said. “It was
absolutely clear. There’s even a
mark,” Chiellini said of the bite.
It was only one of many ugly
incidents in a highly physical “in
or out” match at the Arena das
Dunas.
Marchisio was shown a di-
rect red card for putting his boot
into Egidio Arevalo’s knee in
the 59th. Also, Mario Balotelli
picked up his second yellow card
in two matches for a dangerous
foul during the first half, and was
benched for the second period.
Four-time champion Italy is
heading home after the group
phase for the second straight
World Cup.
Costa Rica 0, England 0: At Belo
Horizonte, Brazil, Costa Rica
finished first in what many con-
sidered the World Cup’s tough-
est group after a dour, scoreless
draw against England.
Costa Rica only needed a draw
to top Group D and played that
way, setting up in a defensive 5-3-
2 formation.
The result gives Costa Rica
its best World Cup performance,
winning a group that contained
former three world champions.
“We will have to keep fight-
ing,” Costa Rica coach Jorge
Luis Pinto said. “Whatever hap-
pens, we are willing to fight.”
England lost its first two
matches to Italy and Uruguay,
while Costa Rica surprisingly
won its first two. Uruguay also
advanced from the group after
beating Italy, 1-0.
Greece 2, Ivory Coast 1: At For-
taleza, Brazil, Georgios Samaras
scored an injury-time penalty
to send Greece into the second
round for the first time, eliminat-
ing Ivory Coast in the process.
Samaras was adjudged to
have been tripped in the area
by substitute Giovanni Sio, and
calmly slotted in the spot kick for
the win. Ivory Coast would have
advanced with a draw.
“This means so much to me,
to us. ... Tonight we had energy,”
Samaras said, dedicating the win
to Greeks suffering through fi-
nancial crisis. “We really hope
we can make the people happy
back home. We are a team. A
team – that’s it.”
Colombia 4, Japan 1: At Cuiaba,
Brazil, James Rodriguez scored
a brilliant goal and set up two
more for Jackson Martinez as
Colombia routed Japan 4-1 on
Tuesday to confirm top spot in
Group C and eliminate the Asian
champions from the World Cup.
Already assured of advanc-
ing, Colombia guaranteed first
place with its third straight win,
setting up a second-round match
against Uruguay. Japan finished

Bradley faces highexpectations in Brazil
By RONALD BLUMThe Associated Press
SAO PAULO – Michael Brad-ley stuck out his right foot tomeet Fabian Johnson’s pass,ready to slot the ball into theempty net from 6 yards out.Surely this would be a goal.
Then the ball struck Portu-guese defender Ricardo Costa ona knee in front of the goal lineand ricocheted away. Bradleystopped at a post, put a hand oneach cheek and closed his eyes inshock, as if he had seen a ghost.
It’s been that type of WorldCup for the U.S midfielder.
His night would get evenworse when he was stripped ofthe ball late in stoppage time,leading to Portugal’s tying goalin Sunday night’s 2-2 draw.
“In the game there’s a mil-lion of these kind of plays,” the26-year-old Bradley said after-ward in the bowels of Arena daAmazonia.
The U.S. may need at least atie Thursday against three-timechampion Germany to reach theknockout stage of consecutiveWorld Cups for the first timeand keep the record number offans tuned in back home. Team-mates count on Bradley’s end-to-end play both to drive theattack and stiffen their defense.
Bradley ran 13,922 yardsagainst Ghana and 13,346 ver-sus Portugal, according to FIFA.Among players with two games,only Australia’s Matt McKaycovered more.
Much has been expected ofBradley ever since he trainedwith the national team for thefirst time before the 2006 WorldCup, when coach Bruce Arenagave the then-18-year-old his na-tional team debut against Ven-ezuela.
He became a regular duringthe next four-year cycle whenhis dad, Bob Bradley, took overas coach. And by the 2010 World
Cup in South Africa, he hadtransformed into one of the topAmerican players, part of thespine along with Landon Don-ovan, Clint Dempsey and TimHoward. He scored the tyinggoal against Slovenia, helpingthe Americans reach the secondround.
But in this year’s openeragainst Ghana, he had littleimpact in the match when com-pared with his past performanc-es. That was despite completing42 of 56 passes, both team highs.
“I’m certainly honest enoughand hard enough with myself toknow that it wasn’t my sharpestnight, but unfortunately they’renot all going to be,” he said. “Ithink as a team we realized at acertain point that it wasn’t goingto be a night making a millionpasses or necessarily playingthe most beautiful soccer, but itwas about running and tacklingand closing down and makingthe game hard on Ghana.”
URUGUAY 1, ITALY 0
Soccer’s bad boybites opponent
By JIM VERTUNOThe Associated Press
NATAL, Brazil – Biting op-ponents, racist comments – allthat looked to be behind LuisSuarez, as soccer’s bad boywas maturing into a star forhis club and country. Then,the old habit that most peopleleave behind in nursery schoolcropped up again in front of anaudience of millions.
Faced with a smotheringand frustrating Italian de-fense in a must-win WorldCup game Tuesday, the Uru-guayan superstar respondedwith his front teeth.
It came about the 80th min-ute when Suarez and Italiandefender Giorgio Chiellini gottangled up in front of the Ita-ly goal. The apparent chomphappened in an instant, butcaught by TV cameras, it be-came a worldwide sensationand could lead to Suarez beingkicked out of the World Cup.
The referee didn’t see a bite,and no foul was called despiteChiellini pleading and pullingdown his jersey to show a redmark on his shoulder.
About a minute later, Uru-guay scored the winning goalin a 1-0 match that sent Italyhome.
Uruguay will continueplaying, but the federationthat runs the World Cup willinvestigate and might suspendSuarez, who has twice beforebeen disciplined for biting op-ponents in league games.
Suarez didn’t confirm ordeny the bite, but said hewas angry that Chiellini –one of the best defenders inthe world and known for hisphysical play – had hit him inthe eye during the game.
“These are things thathappen on the pitch, we wereboth in the area, he thrusthis shoulder into me,” Su-arez said in Spanish. “Thesethings happen on the pitch,
and we don’t have to givethem so much [importance].”
Suarez, 27, should be cel-ebrating a career year. Afterasking to be sold before theseason, he stayed with Liver-pool, won the scoring title andwas named English PremierLeague’s player of the year.
Now, he’ll have to try tostart rehabbing his reputa-tion again.
Uruguay coach Oscar Taba-rez and Suarez’s teammates im-mediately defended their star.
“I want to say that if he’sattacked, as it has begun inthis press conference, we’llalso defend him, because thisis a football World Cup, not ofcheap morality,” said Tabarez,who said he didn’t see a bite.

They have played on the
same basketball team for the
past seven years at the DeKalb
Park District, and have played
thousands of intense one-on-
one basketball games against
each other.
“I hated every baseball
game we played against Jake,”
said Cavanaugh, whose Syca-
more teams went 8-4 against
DeKalb the past four seasons.
“I hated every minute of it be-
cause one of us had to win and
one of us had to lose.“Off the field, we make up
games to play just like kids do.He’s a better golfer. I’m a bet-ter basketball player. But wecompete in everything we do.It’s just fun for us.”
Although Howells is unsureif he will continue the baseballcareer he started at Sycamoreand continued as a player atKishwaukee, Waubonsee Val-ley and Hillsdale colleges,Cavanaugh said he hopes hisfriend continues to coach.
“We might compete endless-ly as friends,” Cavanaugh saidof Howells, who also was an
assistant coach at CaliforniaBaptist University and a play-er development intern for theLos Angeles Dodgers. “But heprovided baseball therapy forme and I will miss that. Aftera tough game we could alwaysshare details. We knew whatthe other was going through.
“I hope he gets to coachbaseball because he is some-one that is way overqualifiedto coach high school baseball.He could coach anywhere. Theplayers really benefit from hisknowledge. He treats themthe right way and cares aboutthem as people.”
Although he posted awinning record as coach,Howells said he was moreconcerned with helping hisathletes develop character, atrait he believes will aid intheir continued developmenton the field.
“In four years, I think I’vehelped build upon a solid foun-dation to do what was right forthe DeKalb baseball game interms of preparation on andoff the field,” Howells said. “Ifeel good that I’ve taught thegame the right way and left theDeKalb baseball program in agood position.”
“We are excited. Each andevery year we come into a sea-son as a coaching staff and asplayers, you have to be excit-ed,” Weckler said. “With thisgroup, who has had success inthe past at DeKalb and the waythey have stuck together, it isjust a positive thing.”
A senior-laden offensiveline led by Devonte Thomp-son and Caleb Deweese will besetting the tone. On defense,Kuykendall, an all-area sec-ond-team selection in 2013,will lead the defense.
One of the best things aboutthis senior class, outside of thededication and work ethic, ishow close they are with eachother, Brown said.
“I would describe us as
hard-working, smart, and we
know each other very well,”
Brown said. “We have a lot of
good camaraderie.”
To go along with how close
this class is, they also are ex-
tremely competitive. Brown
said how much the players
compete with one another at
practice helps make each oth-
er better.
The Barbs have been work-
ing out in the summer. DeKalb
had workouts at Northern Illi-
nois University so far, as well
as early morning workouts.
“They hang out on and off
the field. They compete with
each other in everything,”
Weckler said. “It’s not just in
football and basketball, but it
is video games and any little
thing they have that they can
get a one-up on each other,
they do it.”

Woods ahead of scheduleSays he’s painfreeafter March 31back surgery
By DOUG FERGUSONThe Associated Press
BETHESDA, Md. – Abouttwo dozen photographerslined up in a row on the rangeTuesday at Congressional, areminder that golf is differentwhen Tiger Woods is around.
And that was before Woodseven arrived to hit balls for 35minutes.
He was last seen wearinggolf shoes March 9, when hewalked gingerly off the golfcourse at Doral with back painthat had been bothering himoff and on since August 2012and finally reached a pointthat he chose surgery overplaying two majors.
Woods returns at theQuicken Loans National withbig hopes and realistic expec-tations – and with no pain.
Asked for an opening com-ment on where he is with hisrecovery, Woods smiled andsaid, “I’m right here.”
“It’s been an interestingroad,” Woods said. “This hasbeen quite a tedious little pro-cess, but been one where I gotto a point where I can playcompetitive golf again. Andit’s pretty exciting.”
Dressed in black, with shoesthe company colors of his newendorsement deal (Muscle-Pharm), Woods turned theroutine into news. After eachbooming tee shot, he casuallywalked forward a few paces,stooped to pick up his tee andto reload for the next shot.
Woods, who had back sur-
gery March 31, said the Brit-
ish Open was his target all
along. He was candid in saying
he might not be playing the
Quicken Loans National – this
is the first year for a new title
sponsor – if it did not benefit
his foundation.
That’s not to suggest he is
coming back too early. Woods
said he has been in constant
contact with doctors and train-
ers as he slowly expanded his
swing from chipping and put-
ting to irons to wedges, all the
way through the bag until hestarted swinging the driver afew weeks ago. He tried to add10 yards of distance every cou-ple of days, taking a break andgetting treatment on days itdidn’t feel quite right.
When he started putting,he would fill the holes on hispractice green with sand tokeep from bending over topluck the ball out of the cup.When he felt strong enoughto play, he said he would ridewhile standing on the back ofthe cart to avoid too much sit-ting.
Woods always has said hedoesn’t play if he doesn’t thinkhe can win. That’s still the ob-jective, sprinkled with somereality.
It will have been 109 dayswithout PGA Tour competi-tion when he tees it up Thurs-day morning with Jordan Spi-eth and Jason Day.
“ E x p e c t a t i o n s d o n ’ tchange,” Woods said. “That’sthe ultimate goal. It’s just thatit’s going to be a little bit hard-er this time. I just haven’t hadthe amount of prep and repsthat I would like. But I’m goodenough to play, and I’m goingto give it a go.”
The British Open is July 17to 20 at Royal Liverpool, whereWoods won in 2006 after miss-ing the cut in a major for thefirst time at the U.S. Open. Italso was his first major sincehis father died. Woods collect-ed his 14th major two years lat-er while playing on a shatteredleft leg at Torrey Pines.
He hasn’t won anothersince then, leaving him fourshort of the standard set byJack Nicklaus.
He can’t win if he doesn’tplay, so this would be an im-portant first step.
“I think there’s always afascination in terms of watch-ing Tiger play golf and the runthat he’s been on throughouthis career and what he stillhas to achieve in terms ofhis goals,” Justin Rose said.“I think golf will get reallyexciting if he starts winninga couple more majors and therace to 18 becomes incrediblyon again. I think that’s incred-ibly exciting for the game ofgolf and will draw a lot moreinterest in the game onceagain.”

Nadal ends hisgrass-court skid
By HOWARD FENDRICHThe Associated Press
LONDON – Chasing a shotto his right, Rafael Nadalslipped and tumbled to theCentre Court turf. He poppedup, raced across the baselineto get back into the point, andlater capped the 14-stroke ex-change with a backhand pass-ing winner.
The reason for the two-time Wimbledon champion’srecent inability to play wellon grass remains somethingof a mystery. As far as Nad-al was concerned Tuesday,all that mattered was that hedusted himself off and even-tually ended a three-match –and seven-set – losing streakon the slick surface.
Overcoming a deficitagainst a flat-hitting oppo-nent who kept finding linesearly, Nadal beat 51st-rankedMartin Klizan of Slovakia, 4-6,6-3, 6-3, 6-3, to reach the secondround. Nadal’s reaction after-ward – pumping fists, raisingarms aloft, tossing souvenirsto the crowd – was ratherover-the-top for a guy whoowns 14 Grand Slam titles.
“So happy for the victory.In the end, the match was dif-ficult. After the first set, [it]was even more difficult,” saidthe Spaniard, who is rankedNo. 1 and seeded No. 2 but ap-proached this opening-roundencounter with some trepida-tion. “When you go on courtand you lost last year in thefirst round, the year before inthe second round ... [‘m not]going to lie ... it stays in yourmind.”
Next for Nadal is a matchagainst the man who beat himin 2012’s second round, LukasRosol of the Czech Republic.
“He is a very dangerousplayer; very strong, verypowerful at the baseline,” Na-dal said.
Other past champions inaction on Day 2 advanced,too, including Roger Federer,Serena Williams and MariaSharapova, all in straightsets. Last year, when every-thing around these parts wasturned upside down by sur-prise after surprise, that triojoined Nadal with early exits;Williams was the last of thegroup standing, and she de-parted in the fourth round.
Williams needed to castaside four break pointsduring a 10-minute first gameTuesday, but after getting
that out of the way, breezedto a 6-1, 6-2 win against AnnaTatishvili. Sharapova lost allof one game against Britishwild-card entry SamanthaMurray.

Whether domestic, imported or homemade,hazelnut spread has been adored for 50 years
NUTSFOR
NUTELLA
Pastry chef Alex Levin’s recipe brings the flavor of the hazelnuts to the foreground. Use it as a sandwich spread, try it with sliced fruit ormelt some in the microwave and serve it over vanilla gelato as a more interesting alternative to hot fudge sauce. Once this spread cools, itstexture is similar to that of Nutella. For a looser version, add more milk. For a sweeter version, add more honey.
Hazelnut Chocolate SpreadWashington Post photo
Ever since I heard about Nutella, the chocolate-hazelnutspread that originated in between-World Wars Italy, I’vebeen a fan. In mid-1980s America, it was hard to find. Notevery supermarket carried it. Obtaining it was a quest,and luck helped. I had to ration it. And no one can provethat I used to hide it when visitors came over.
A lot of foods have cult followings, and demand forNutella has resulted in its becoming nearly ubiquitous.As it celebrates the spread’s 50th year, maker FerreroRocher reportedly sells about a half-billion pounds across
more than 70 countries.There’s no more rationing, though there probably should be, because, frank-
ly, my teeth have started to hurt. But maybe there’s a way I can avoid cuttingback: Just as I start to accept that my advancing age and persistent sweet toothhave taken their toll on my dental health, a friend tells me there is an importedversion of Nutella, and it’s less sweet.
Soon enough, though, I learn that like any good cult, this onecomes with a heaping spoonful of mythology.
In 2014, obtaining the version of Nutella imported fromItaly is not really a task worthy of the term “quest.” Alot of gourmet markets carry it, and you can find itat any serious Italian market or deli. You’ll paya premium, but that’s just anotherindication that we’re talkingabout a cult, right?
“Customers tell meall the time they don’tcare what ours costs,”said Robert Tramonte,the owner of the Ital-ian Store in Arlington,Virginia, where you canbuy an 11-pound vat of
the Italian version. “They’ve tried the other ones. They prefer the imported.”And they have various opinions on what differentiates the imported and
domestic versions.The prevailing theory is that the domestic version is indeed sweeter, but
some fans suggest that the Italian product uses more hazelnuts (which couldsimply be a different way of stating the same theory). Or that the American ver-sion has more salt. Or that the Italian version has a better “mouth feel.”
No one ever seems to be available to field questions about just what makesthe two Nutellas different.
Now we have a quest.

Hazelnut Chocolate Spread24 servings (makes 3 cups)
1 1/4 cups (about 6 ounces) skinned hazelnuts6 ounces dark chocolate, such as Valrhona Man-jari 64 percent, broken into pieces
5 ounces milk chocolate, such as Valrhona Jivara40 percent, broken into pieces
1 cup whole milk2/3 cup nonfat powdered milk2 1/2 tablespoons honeyPinch kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the ha-zelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast until goldenbrown, about 10 minutes.While the nuts are still hot, transfer them to a food
processor. Grind until they turn into a paste, about 5minutes. (You might need to stop and scrape downthe sides of the work bowl a few times.)
Heat a couple inches of water in a saucepan overmedium heat. Combine the dark and milk chocolatein a heatproof bowl; place over the saucepan to meltthe chocolate. Stir to make sure it has completelymelted. Remove from the heat.Combine the whole milk, powdered milk, honey and
salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk-ing until well incorporated and warmed through.Add the melted chocolate to the pureed hazelnuts
in the food processor. Pulse to incorporate, thenadd the milk mixture. Pulse to form a homogenousspread.Transfer to a container with a tight-fitting lid.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, until the spread firmsup, before using.

SKIN YOUR OWN HAZELNUTS:Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in alarge saucepan over medium-highheat. Add 3 tablespoons of bakingsoda. Add the hazelnuts and cookfor 2 minutes. Meanwhile, preparea bowl of ice and water. After 2minutes, remove one nut and drop itinto the ice water. If the skin can beeasily removed, drain the nuts andadd them all to the ice water. If not,test one nut every minute until theskin comes off easily.Preheat the oven to its lowest set-
ting. Slip off and discard the hazelnutskins, then dry the nuts and spreadthem in a single layer on a rimmedbaking sheet. Warm in the oven untilthey’re completely dry, which couldtake 15 to 60 minutes.

A gooey clueArmed with 825 grams – “Formato
Famiglia” – of the imported versionin a glass jar and 750 grams of theCanadian-made version in plastic, Ihead to Osteria Morini on Washing-ton’s Southeast waterfront and sitdown with Alex Levin, director ofthe pastry program there. If anyonecan get to the bottom of this, it has tobe a pastry chef at an Italian restau-rant, right?
I tell Levin that I expect we’llspend a good portion of the after-noon translating and convertingnutritional information so we canmake comparisons. He tells me hestudied applied mathematics at Yale.I got an A-minus on a particularlychallenging trig test in 11th grade.We were born to do this.
First, the taste test. The two jars,glass and plastic, have been sittingside by side for about 18 hours, sothey are similarly acclimated.
We remove the identical gold-foilseals and notice an obvious differ-ence in the texture of the two. Theimported has a firmer consistency;when we scoop some out, it retainsthe track of the spoon. When wescoop out some of the domestic, itslowly starts to sloop back to fill thevoid.
This is a clue, Levin says beforewe even taste. But we’ll get back tothat.
The flavor of the two is similar,and the immediate sensation issweetness. A quick look at the nutri-tional chart on the domestic jar cluesus in: A serving size is listed as 37grams, about 2 1/2 tablespoons. Eachserving includes 21 grams of sugar.
For all the hazelnuts, milk andchocolate this spread is billed for,
that makes it 56.76 percent sugar.Even if you didn’t study appliedmathematics at Yale, you knowthat’s more than half.
We look at the Italian jar. Theserving sizes are different, but in Eu-rope, they’ve already done the math,and the number is almost startling:Each serving is, well, 56.7 percentsugar.
That doesn’t necessarily meanthat the two taste the same, or eventhat they are equally sweet. Thereare other variables to look at first.But it does mean equal amounts ofthe two versions have exactly thesame amount of sugar. And it’s a lot.
“If I was having some of this inItaly, then came home and had somehere, I might assume they were thesame thing,” Levin said. “But tast-ing them side by side, you can tellthere’s a difference.” The hazelnutflavor in the imported version seemsslightly more pronounced.
He decides that, most likely, thedifference is either the number of ha-zelnuts used or the kind of fat used.The domestic jar lists palm oil; theimported says vegetable oil, whichtechnically could be the same oil. Wedon’t know.
Uh-oh. Trans fats?Initially, comparing the hazelnuts
seems impossible. The imported jarquantifies the hazelnuts as 13 per-cent. There is no percentage listedon the domestic. But then we see it:The front of the jar, in big letters,proclaims that it contains 97 hazel-nuts. Levin grabs a handful of hazel-nuts from his kitchen. He weighs 20of them: They total 20 grams. Usingour combined math powers and notthe calculators on our phones, weextrapolate that 97 hazelnuts wouldweigh 97 grams. We know the jarholds 750 grams of Nutella. Now wepull out the calculators and findthe percentage of hazelnuts in thedomestic version is . . .
Thirteen percent (12.93, to beprecise).
Huh. That keeps happening.Protein: The same. Carbohy-
drates: Equal. Total fat. Saturatedfat. Ditto. Ditto.
We know the percentages of skimmilk (6.6) and cocoa (7.4) in the Ital-ian spread but can’t compare themwith the American because it doesn’tnote percentages. Maybe the Italianversion uses less of those things andmore oil? Probably not, because thenutritional information all matches,which probably indicates no greatdifferences in the percentages of keyingredients.
But they taste different. How?Why?
Levin notes that the two spreads“feel” different. (Mouth feel wasone of the theories!) The importedversion sticks to your mouth a littlemore. It could just seem to havemore intense flavor because it lin-gers on the palate longer.
Levin suspects that if we melted –or refrigerated – both versions, we’dtaste no difference between the twoat all.
Is the glass keeping the importedversion cooler, therefore firmer? Ibreak out a thermometer, and thedomestic registers 72.1 degrees.
In keeping with the theme, Itake the temperature of the Italianversion in Celsius and get 21.2. ThenI use my math skills to convert it,multiply by 9/5ths (I think), then add(or maybe subtract?) 32 and . . . oh,just hit the Fahrenheit button. It’s71.9 degrees. So that isn’t it.
On the back of the domesticspread, we notice it says there arezero grams of trans fat, the hydroge-nated fat that the American HeartAssociation says raises bad choles-terol levels, lowers good cholesteroland is associated with problemsincluding heart disease, stroke andType 2 diabetes. It also helps foods
retain a more solid texture at highertemperatures.
Uh-oh.With trepidation, we look at the
back of the imported jar. There is nomention of trans fat.
The FDA has required trans fatsto be listed in nutritional analysessince 2006. The European Union doesnot.
“My guess,” Levin says, “is that
before they had to put it on the label,there was no ‘U.S.’ version, that theysold the same spread everywhere.”
There are still a lot of variableswe can’t cover. So we can’t, anddon’t, claim to have solved anything.But we started with mythology, andattacked it with mathology. Fromthe available evidence, we suspectthat the difference isn’t in the fla-vors, but in the delivery.

BY THE NUMBERSThe chocolate hazelnut spread made in Canada has a legion of fans,
but many people say the Italian-made version tastes superior. What’s thedifference? Surprise: The Italian-made spread closely matches the domestic.Cocoa and milk percentages aren’t listed on both jars, but extrapolation ispossible.
• NUTELLAContinued from page C1
Washington Post graphic
Domestic, imported Nutellas share much in common
Best
Azienda Agricola Nocciole d’Elite Crema di Nocciola: 4.4.This Italian import was the uncontested winner – and by far the most
expensive of the competitors. Although its consistency was thinner/runni-er than most of us would have liked, it earned praise for its “pure hazelnutflavor,” prompting one judge to rejoice, “ding ding ding.” The mellowchocolate favor imparted by cocoa powder is a bit subdued, so chocohol-ics, keep that in mind. $21 for 8.8 ounces, or $2.39 per ounce.Peccati di Ciacco Gianduia Chocolate Hazelnut Spread: 3.4.Tasters detected hints of caramel and vanilla. Overall, “pretty sweet but
good.” $10.99 for 7.76 ounces, or $1.42 per ounce.Ferrero brand Nutella (Italian label): 3.2.The European Nutella prompted opposing opinions on a variety of
counts, from “canned chocolate frosting flavor, with little hazelnuts” to“nice nutty beginning; not too sweet, really good.” $15.99 for 35 ounces,or 46 cents per ounce.Safeway Select Hazelnut Spread: 3.This store brand delivered a respectable bang for the buck. “Pretty clas-
sic,” “pudding,” “balanced but not distinctive” and “the nut taste is freshand good.” $3.79 for 13 ounces, or 29 cents per ounce.
Acceptable
Ferrero brand Nutella (domestic label): 2.6.At least one taster correctly identified this as “what I grew up
eating.” Another panned it as “way too sweet, teeth-achingly.” Othermiddle-of-the-road sentiments: “inoffensive,” “more chocolate thanhazelnut; not too sweet but not delicious.” $4.99 for 13 ounces, or 38cents per ounce.Rapunzel brand Organic Chocolate Hazelnut Butter: 2.4.This one inspired wide-ranging reactions. Among them: “very nutty, dark,
but did find a little grit”; “leaves a bad, bitter aftertaste”; “greasy mouthfeel.” $7.49 for 8.8 ounces, or 85 cents per ounce.Rigoni di Asiago Nocciolata: 2.4.Tasters mostly found the hazelnut flavor lacking in this Italian spread.
Also: “Consistency’s winning, an aftertaste that’s bad”; “nicely balanced”;“more cocoa than chocolate.” $4.99 for 9.52 ounces, or 52 cents per ounce.Jif brand Chocolate Flavored Hazelnut Spread : 2.Maybe Jif should stick with peanut butter? “Harsh and sweet” and
“distinctly lacking in hazelnut”; one praised “a rich chocolate flavor.” $4.19for 13 ounces, or 32 cents per ounce.
Not recommended
Giant brand Hazelnut Spread With Cocoa: 1.6.Part of a four-way tie for last. “Cloyingly sweet,” “bad chocolate,
just nasty” and the nail in the coffin: “Detect practically zero hazelnut,right?” A few judges commented on an unpleasant aftertaste. $3.69for 13 ounces, or 28 cents per ounce.
Natural Nectar ChocoDream Hazelnut Cocoa Spread: 1.6.One tester compared this to “a bad doughnut glaze.” “Blech” and
“too sweet.” An outlier observed a “stronger nut flavor.” $5.99 for 12.3ounces, or 49 cents per ounce.
Hershey’s Spreads, Chocolate With Hazelnut: 1.6.“Fake chocolate tasting”; “where’s the hazelnut?”; “thick as paste.”
$3.99 for 13 ounces, or 31 cents per ounce.
Merenda: 1.6.A Greek spread with disappointments that included “lackluster choc-
olate” and “faint” hazelnut flavor. One judge awarded it a 3, calling it“creamy, sweet, nutty, thin in texture, milk chocolate-like.” $9.95 for35 ounces, or 28 cents per ounce.
Taste test: 12 chocolate hazelnut spreadsNutella needs no introduction. There are probably enough Italophiles, college students and hazelnut lovers to lobby for classifying the chocolate-hazelnut spread as its own food group. These days, though, it’s
practically impossible to walk into a grocery store and not find other brands vying for attention. To see whether Nutella – which turns 50 this year – is holding its own, we conducted a blind taste test. Compet-itors included store brands, familiar labels such as Hershey’s and Jif, and domestic and imported products labeled spreads or butters and sold at supermarkets and specialty shops. Post Food section stafferslicked many small plastic spoons. Here are the results, listed in order of preference, including an averaged rating (on a scale of 1 to 5):
Banana pudding upgraded to parfaitsBy STEPHANIE WITT SEDGWICK
The Washington Post
The Nilla wafers are stillhere in these banana puddingparfaits, but the pudding is aclassic cornstarch-thickenedmilk version with no eggs,and flavored with vanilla twoways. If you’re a cookie lover,feel free to add up to twice asmany wafers.
Instead of being toppedwith whipped cream, the pud-ding is bruleed with a littlebrown sugar. If you don’t havea small kitchen torch, there’sa broiler option.
You’ll need four 8-ounceparfait or sundae glasses.
Banana Pudding Parfaits4 servings
1/3 cup granulated sugar2½ tablespoons cornstarch1/8 teaspoon salt1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwisein half
2 cups low-fat milk (2 percent)2 teaspoons vanilla extract16 Nilla wafers (about 2 ouncestotal)
1 large or 2 small bananas, plusmore for alternate garnish
Light brown sugar, for garnish
Combine the granulated sugar,cornstarch and salt in a heavy-bot-tomed, medium pot. Use a smallknife to scrape the seeds out of thevanilla bean halves. Add the scrap-
ings to the sugar mixture, usingyour fingers to blend them in. Pourin 1/3 cup of the milk, mixing toform a runny paste. Slowly add theremaining 1 2/3 cups milk, whiskingto incorporate. Drop in the scrapedvanilla bean halves.Place the pot over medium heat;
cook, stirring, until the mixturestarts to thicken, 4 to 5 minutes.Reduce the heat to medium-low;cook, stirring, until the mixturestarts to boil; let boil for 1 minute.Remove from the heat.Remove the vanilla bean halves;
discard them or reserve for anotheruse. Add the vanilla extract andwhisk to combine. Steep/cool for 10minutes.To build the parfaits, place a few
wafers in each glass – one flat onthe bottom and a few standing uparound the inside of the glass cup.Gently spoon a few tablespoonsof pudding over the bottom wafer.Place a few slices of banana overthe pudding, then top with a fewwafers. Cover them with pudding,add a few more slices of bananaand cover with pudding. You shouldhave about 1/2 cup of pudding ineach parfait; make sure to cover thebanana slices completely so theydon’t discolor. Cover with plasticwrap and refrigerate for at least 5hours.When ready to serve, remove
from the refrigerator and let theparfaits sit at room temperature for30 minutes.To garnish, either top with an
additional slice of banana, or bruleethe top by sprinkling the surfaceslightly with brown sugar and heat-ing until bubbling and browned witha kitchen torch, taking care to avoid
heating the glass. Alternatively,place a few banana slices on an alu-minum foil-lined baking sheet. Topeach slice with brown sugar andeither heat with a kitchen torch or
run under the broiler until the sugaris bubbly and browned in places.Serve within 30 minutes of
bruleeing, or the sugar will start todissolve and turn into a syrup.

NIU-created online IllinoisReport Card earns praise
The Northern Illinois University team thatcreates illinoisreportcard.com is celebratingnational recognition for the online, interactiveIllinois report card as one of the best in thenation.
Education Commission of the States an-nounced last month that the Illinois ReportCard was the “only one in the nation to makethe top picks for both parents and researchers,who applauded its online report card for beingeasy to find, easy to navigate, and easy tounderstand.”
Harvey Smith, director of the Illinois Re-port Card, credited the talented interdisciplin-ary NIU team that developed the new reportcard last year.
“Our programmers, database specialists,graphics artist and writers are all first-rate.This team has worked together for severalyears and was deeply invested in the existingIllinois Interactive Report Card. Now, theyhave completely redesigned the report cardand reoriented it toward an audience of par-ents and general public,” Smith said in a newsrelease.
“The agility and speed they displayed inpivoting to development of a new design hasbeen outstanding. Along the way, we also heldfocus groups with educators in professionalorganizations and school districts around thestate, and their feedback was invaluable.”
“This project takes bench strength,” MuqeetMohammed Abdul, the senior programmer forthe report card, said in the release.
“We have an integrated group of specialistswho design screens, program the interactiv-ity, manage huge state databases, test newfeatures, research audience preferences, andwrite explanations that lay people can under-stand. And we also benefited from workingclosely with a high-stakes, real-world client.This has been quite a learning experiencefor us and for the NIU grad students and the
undergrads who also work on our team.”A state level committee met for more than
a year to plan the new, parent-friendly reportcard, following a legislative mandate in 2012.The Illinois State Board of Education turnedto NIU, which has produced an online reportcard for ISBE since 2004, to develop the newonline service. The NIU team completely over-hauled the existing design in about six monthsand met the state-mandated October 31, 2013,deadline for the new report card.
Graphics artist Brian Walk, who designedthe data displays and developed the user in-terface for IllinoisReportCard.com, echoed theEducation Commission of the States’ reportthat the new design represents cutting-edgepractices in visualizing data.
“We applied the newest thinking and bestnational examples for making data meaningfuland useful. Colorful, interactive screens helpusers understand school data. The hope is thatparents will take the data to school and workwith educators on behalf of their kids,” Walksaid in the release.
Smith said some advanced features fromthe old edition of IIRC are still being rede-signed and enhanced for the new IRC. Theseinclude web tools that educators, researchersand parents routinely utilize to help driveinstructional decisions and assist individuallearners.
In particular, the NIU team is developingupdated versions of such popular features asAchievement Gap, Financial Trends, CohortAnalyses and Compare Schools data displaysfor the new report card.
“The response to the new report card fromboth parents and educators has been extraordi-narily positive. The report card gets an averageof 80,000 online visitors each month, a clearmeasure of its usefulness,” Smith said in therelease. “This national recognition validateswhat we have been hearing across the state.”

Dr. Wallace: My husbandand I are both 20. We havebeen married for over ayear and are the parents ofa 2-year-old daughter. Bothmy husband and I have beensmoking for over four yearsand are totally addicted. Butwe are aware of the dangersof secondhand smoke so wekeep our house smoke-free.
We have talked severaltimes about quitting tobac-co, but we have not yet putout that last cigarette. If bychance we don’t quit smok-ing, is it possible that thiswill encourage our childrento “light up,” or even if wedo smoke, but encourageour children to never startsmoking, will it be the sameas if we were not smoking? –
Mother, York, Pennsylvania
Mother: The best way toinsure that your childrenwill not become addictedsmokers is for you and yourhusband to stop smoking andto encourage your childrento never start.
According to the booklet,“Peer Pressure and Smok-ing,” created by Phillip Mor-ris USA, 13.7 percent of the 11to 17-year-olds who reportedsmoking a cigarette at leastonce in the past month hadparents who were smokers,compared to 5.7 percent who
reported smoking in the pastmonth, but had parents whodon’t smoke. This is a signifi-cant difference!
Dr. Wallace: Please helpme! I’m 14 and have a strongfear that someone is goingto physically harm me. Eventhough my dog sleeps in mybedroom, I’m afraid of beingattacked. I can never havea leg or an arm hang out ofmy bed covers because I’mafraid someone will grab it.Once when I was babysit-ting and the children wereasleep, a storm hit and I wasso frightened I couldn’t moveeven though rain was comingin through an open window.I live in a small town and Irealize that I’m safer thanliving in a huge city, but still,
I’m frightened.I’ve hinted to my par-
ents that I’m afraid of beingattacked, but they just laughit off. Please don’t print myname or location. – Name-less, Louisiana.
Nameless: When yourparents see your letter inthe newspaper, they willtake note of it and stop “justlaughing it off.” They willrealize that it is not just aproblem for you, but thatothers may have the sameconcerns, and they will lookinto getting professional helpfor you.
Please contact me againin a few weeks and let meknow what progress you aremaking.
Dr. Wallace: I know that

Woman puzzled by guy who won’t get naked
Prevention key to avoid developing dementia
A secondtrip to cardplacing
James Carville, a politicalcommentator, said, “The besttime to plant an oak tree was25 years ago. The second besttime is today.”
In yesterday’s deal, Eastused the bidding and earlyplay to place the missing highcards and to work out the bestdefense against four hearts.
Here is a second deal alongthe same lines. South is infour hearts. West leads thespade queen. South wins withhis ace and plays a trump todummy’s queen. What shouldEast do?
South rebid three no-trumpbecause North might haveraised hearts with only three-card support if he had a min-imum opening bid with, forexample, 1-3-5-4 distribution.Here, though, North correctedto the heart game because hehad two unstopped suits andfour strong hearts.
East should wonder whichfour tricks his side might win.Since West’s opening leadmarks South with the spadeace and king, there are nospade winners available. Easthas one heart trick. There areno diamond winners, becauseeven if South is missing theking, the finesse is working.So the defenders need threeclub tricks, or two clubs and aclub ruff.
This should make East’spath clear. He must win withhis heart ace and shift to theclub five.
Now the spotlight falls onSouth. If he rises with hisclub king, he will make thecontract (with an overtrick ifhe draws trumps, cashes hisspade and diamond winners,and endplays West with hisclub queen). But if Southfinesses his jack, West winswith his queen, returns theclub two and receives a clubruff for down one.
We have talked about quitting tobacco, but ...
Dear Abby: I met a guy fourmonths ago. Our relationshipis new and pretty casual forthe most part. We like eachother’s company and spendnights together, but whenwe’re intimate, he keeps hisclothes on – boxers and all.He is only 26, but he has toldme about past relationships,so I know he has had experi-ence.
Over the past two years hehas lost almost 100 pounds.He looks great now – healthyand toned. I have seen himget in and out of the show-er. (I noticed a little excessskin on his stomach, but notmuch.) It’s really weird. Idon’t feel comfortable taking
my own clothes off when hedoesn’t.
This isn’t exactly a dealbreaker for me, as I obvi-ously am attracted to him.I just would like him to becomfortable with me. ShouldI address this with him, andif so, how? Or should I justleave it be for now? – Awk-ward Situation in Georgia
Dear Awkward: It’s apparentthat he still has body issueshaving to do with his extremeweight loss. If you know him
well enough to spend nightsat his house, you should beable to communicate withhim about sex on a maturelevel and tell him the experi-ence would be more satisfy-ing for you if there was lessbetween you when you are inhis arms.
Dear Abby: My fiancee and Iwork full time. We are tryingto save for our wedding and adeposit for a house. The trou-ble is, after paying rent, billsand day-to-day expenses, weare left with next to nothing.
I played poker when I wasin college, which generateda nice income during mylate teens and early 20s. Afew months back, I decided
to pick it up again and founda group of people who liketo play. Since then, I havebeen playing four hours twoor three nights a week, andit has generated an extramonthly income of $1,000 to$1,500. Our finances haveimproved a lot.
There are nights my fian-cee wants me to stay home.She says if I had a part-timejob, she would understandwhy I couldn’t stay home onthe days she asked. But to me,poker IS a part-time job, andit pays more than anythingelse I could find in this area.I play the same set scheduleevery week, so she shouldknow what nights I need to
go in to “work.” What do yousay? – All-In in Virginia
Dear All-In: You appear tobe a skillful card player ora very lucky one. Assumingthat the games in which youare participating are legal, Isee nothing wrong with whatyou’re doing. Because yourfiancee feels lonely whenyou’re not with her, suggestthat she do something withfriends or take up a hobby.After all, you’re doing this forthe both of you, aren’t you?And this “part-time job” isn’tgoing to be forever.

Dear Dr. K: What is vasculardementia? Can it be prevent-ed?
Dear Reader: The term “de-mentia” describes a seriousimpairment of mental func-tion. It may include memoryloss, confusion, personalitychanges and the dwindlingability to perform every-day activities. Alzheimer’sdisease is the most commontype of dementia. The secondmost common is vasculardementia.
Vascular dementia resultswhen blood vessels don’tdeliver enough oxygen to thebrain. There may be athero-sclerosis in the arteries thatblock blood flow. High bloodpressure may cause the ar-teries to narrow and increasethe amount of atherosclero-sis. Sometimes this leads to a
major stroke. Such strokescan cause a person to sud-denly lose the ability to movea part of their body, to talk,to understand speech, to feelor to see. After such a majorstroke, dementia can occur.
Multiple smaller strokescan occur, as well. They canbe so small, and producesuch mild symptoms, thata person is not even awarethey happened. Slowly, theycan degrade mental functionand cause dementia. Multiplesmall strokes sometimes arediscovered by brain scans(such as CT and MRI scans)performed to diagnose the
cause of mental impairment.Symptoms of vascular
dementia can look just likeAlzheimer’s disease. Theperson may get confused.Speech may slur. Thinkingmay become less sharp. Butsymptoms do vary. Depend-ing on what area of the brainis affected, memory may noteven be impaired. Instead,other problems may appear,such as difficulties calculat-ing numbers.
Once vascular dementiadevelops, treatment optionsare limited. Doctors some-times prescribe drugs usedfor Alzheimer’s disease, butthey are less effective in peo-ple with vascular dementia.
That’s why prevention iskey. What’s bad for the heartis also bad for the brain.The same steps you take to
prevent heart attacks also re-duce your risk of strokes andvascular dementia. They evenreduce your risk of Alzhei-mer’s disease. (And severalforms of cancer, but that’s foranother column.)
So you won’t be surprisedto learn that the following canbe profoundly beneficial inprotecting your brain fromboth vascular dementia andAlzheimer’s disease:
• Control blood pressure,cholesterol and blood sugar.
• If you smoke, quit.• Adopt a heart-healthy
diet rich in vegetables, fruits,whole grains, oily fish andunsaturated fats.
• Exercise regularly.• Drink alcohol in moder-
ation.And there are other things
you can do that are specific
to preventing dementia andmemory loss:
• Spend time with familyand friends.
• Keep your mind activewith education, volunteeringand hobbies.
• Identify and treat depres-sion.
Like all of us, I neverwant to develop a seriousillness. But if I had to rankall the serious illnesses thatI might get, dementia is theone I want most to avoid. Lifesometimes has other plansfor you, but don’t think thatdeveloping dementia is justan act of fate, something youcannot influence. You reallycan protect yourself againstdeveloping dementia.

Your heart needs exercise, just like all of theother muscles in your body. The faster youmove, the faster your heart beats. Exercisingfor a while every day is good for the heart.
Place two fingers on the inner sideof your left wrist. Do you feel a littlejump? This is the blood from yourheart going to your hand. Youcan feel that jump every timeyour heart beats. This is calledyour pulse.
Jump up and down10 times. Is yourpulse faster or
ou have a treasure chestwith you every day.
Inside your chest, there is atreasure that keeps you alive.It is your heart.Your heart is in the middle
of your chest, a little to theleft. Put your hand on yourchest and be very still. Canyou feel your heart beating?Your heart is actually a
muscle, a very strong muscle.
It pumps blood to all parts ofyour body. It works all thetime, even when you’resleeping.Think about how you
would make other muscles inyour body strong, such asyour arm or leg muscles.Exercise, followed by restand good eating habits, is thekey to a strong muscle and ahealthy treasure chest.
Real hearts don’t look much likeValentine hearts. Inside the treasurechest is a picture of a real heart. Thetubes that stick out from the heartare the arteries and veins that carryblood to and from all parts of yourbody. Arteries carry blood fromyour heart to your body, todeliver oxygen. Veins carrythe blood, minus oxygen,back to your heart.
To find out the size ofyour heart, make a fistwith one hand. This isabout the size of your heart.
To find it, read each food item at right and pick the one thatis lowest in saturated fat. Then color the letter of that choiceon the grid and discover the hidden treasure!
Foods high in saturated fat addcholesterol to your blood. Toomuch cholesterol can be badfor your heart. It can causethe arteries that bring bloodto your heart to clog up.
