President to tell nation of ‘crisis’ After speech, Trump will go to border By Matthew Daly, Catherine Lucey and Lisa Mascaro Associated Press

WASHINGTON — With no breakthrough in sight, Presi- dent Donald Trump will argue his case to the nation Tuesday night that a “crisis” at the U.S.-Mexico border requires an immediate payment of several billion dollars for the long and invulnerable wall he’s demanding before ending the partial government shutdown. Hundreds of thousands of federal workers face missed paychecks Friday as the shut- down drags through a third week. Trump’s Oval Office speech — his first as president — will be followed by his visit Thursday to the southern border to high- light his demand for a barrier. White House press secretary ERIN HOOLEY/CHICAGO TRIBUNE Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted that he will use the visit to “meet with those on the front lines of the national security and humanitarian crisis.” Shutdown safety concerns As of 7 p.m. EST Monday, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, Fox News and Fox Business Net- A Transportation Security Administration agent checks people through security Monday at O’Hare International work had confirmed that they Airport.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING EDITORIAL CARTOON

Democrats received a mixed blessing in No- vember when they seized complete control of state governments in California, Connecticut, Illinois and New York. ... With legislative super- majorities, liberals in California can raise taxes without GOP votes and in Illinois place a prog- ressive tax on the ballot as unions have long wanted. Democrats campaigned on more spend- ing — for schools, roads, child care, you name it. ... Illinois is forecasting a $1.2 billion deficit and has accrued $7.5 billion in unpaid bills despite a $5 billion income and corporate tax hike in 2017. Pensions consume 25 percent of state revenue, up from 10 percent a decade ago, yet are still only about 40 percent funded. Chicago is leaning toward insolvency as pension costs have doubled in a decade. ... The time to drive the hard tax and spending reforms is while the economy is still humming. Democratic political success will ride on whether they clean up the messes in their states or dig deeper holes. The Wall Street Journal

The 2020 election will be the first ever where the candidates running against the sitting presi- dent will be campaigning on his need to be re- moved from office by Congress. Bill Clinton’s impeachment loomed over the 2000 election, but he wasn’t on the ballot. And Richard Nixon was well into his second term before Watergate really caught up with him. Democratic activists will demand to know where the 2020 candidates stand on impeachment questions, and there likely won’t be much room for anything but absolutism.

$10M gift opens new urologic institute By Lisa Schencker Chicago Tribune

Northwestern Medicine pa- tients with urologic conditions, such as prostate or kidney cancer, will be able to see their doctors in one location, from diagnosis to recovery, with the opening of a new urologic institute Monday in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood. The new Polsky Urologic Cancer Institute is located in NorthwesternMemorial Hos- pital’s Galter Pavilion, and the first phase of the institute opened Monday. The institute is partly funded by a $10 million gift from the Polsky family. Michael Polsky is founder and CEO of Invenergy, and Tanya Polsky, his wife, is a philan- thropist and former finance executive. “I think it will be game- changing for patients,” said Dr. Edward Schaeffer, chairman of the department of urology at Northwestern University’s CHRIS SWEDA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE Feinberg School of Medicine.

NEW YORK — The world’s largest tech confer- ence has apparently learned a big lesson about gender equity. CES, the huge annual consumer-electronics show in Las Vegas, caught major flak from activists in late 2017 when it unveiled an all-male lineup of keynote speakers for the second year in a row. Although it later added two female keynot- ers, the gathering’s “boys’ club” reputation remained intact. It didn’t help that one of the unsanctioned events latching on to CES last year was a nightclub featuring female “robot strippers.” This year, four of the nine current keynoters are wom- en. GenderAvenger, the ac- tivist group that raised a ruckus last year, recently sent CES organizers a con- gratulatory letter and awarded the show a “Gold JOHN LOCHER/AP 2017 Stamp of Approval” for a roster of keynote and “fea- Rometty; Lisa Su, CEO of says, is whether CES has might need to look harder, There are also logistical child care, so they might tured” speakers that it says chipmaker Advanced Micro listened to its critics. or be more flexible in who challenges, Carlton said. turn down speaking oppor- is 45 percent women — 60 Devices; and U.S. Trans- CES is the place to be for they invite to speak.

One day, Bears fans might chuckle at the headline — but likely not one day soon. The pain was palpable as thousands of stunned people fled after Parkey’s miss, a Bartmanesque reaction combining re- gret, sadness and anger. It instantly became one

COLLEGES

BIG TEN BASKETBALL POWER RANKINGS Pure Michigan: Wolverines, Spartans 1-2

By Shannon Ryan | Chicago Tribune

Is it Michigan and Michigan State, then everyone else? The two teams have estab- lished themselves as kings of the Big Ten and potential Final Four contenders. But who else has a chance? Ohio State and Indiana have shown they can make a push, and don’t count out Minnesota. Will Nebraska and Iowa flourish or falter? Here are this week’s power rankings (previous ranking in parentheses):

1. Michigan 15-0, 4-0 (1): The Wolver- ines — one of three remaining undefeated teams with Virginia and Houston — can equal the best start in school history by beating Illinois on Thursday. Michigan showed its depth by holding off a talented Indiana squad thanks to freshman Bran- don Johns. Isaiah Livers (back) missed his second straight game, and big men Jon Teske and Austin Davis got into foul trou- ble trying to guard Juwan Morgan. No matter: Johns had eight points and eight rebounds in 13 minutes. The Wolverines have so many options — and seem to be developing more. 2. Michigan State 13-2, 4-0 (2): The Spartans, who have the nation’s No. 3 of- fense in KenPom’s adjusted efficiency rating, were impressive in holding off a tough Ohio State team on the road. Nick Ward and Cassius Winston make a strong one-two punch. Ward scored 21 points, drawing 11 fouls and hitting 11 of 14 free throws, in a matchup against the Buckeyes’ Kaleb Wesson. 3. Ohio State 12-2, 2-1 (3): In their first game against a ranked opponent, the Buck- eyes couldn’t deliver in an 86-77 home loss to Michigan State. And the schedule doesn’t get easier: Ohio State has five road games against teams in KenPom’s top 30. Big man Kaleb Wesson, who averages 17.1 points, scored 25 against the Spartans, but he could use more help from teammates. 4. Indiana 12-3, 3-1 (4): The Hoosiers had won seven straight, dating to a Nov. 27 loss at No. 1 Duke, before tumbling at No. 2 Michigan. Indiana has the potential to finish near the top of the Big Ten but has to avoid slow starts like the ones that cost the Hoosiers against Michigan and gave Illi- nois too wide of a window. LACHLAN CUNNINGHAM/GETTY-AFP 5. Minnesota 12-2, 2-1 (8): A 59-52 victory Trevor Lawrence, top, celebrates with teammate Gage Cervenka after Clemson’s dominant victory over Alabama on Monday night. at Wisconsin on Thursday could be coach Richard Pitino’s signature win.

While tens of millions of college sports fans watched the action between Alabama and Clemson unfold Monday night in Santa Clara, Calif., college sports power brokers, and their lawyers, will be monitoring developments about 40 miles away in Oakland where, any day over the next few weeks, a federal judge could issue a ruling upending the economy of major college sports, clearing the way for more money to make its way to athletes. The class-action case, entitled “National Collegiate Athletic As- sociation Grant-In-Aid Cap An- titrust Litigation,” went to trial late last year with little fanfare or media coverage, in part because of the likelihood the judge’s decision will go on hold pending an appeal. But the awaited ruling could be as consequential as the landmark 2014 decision in Ed O’Bannon vs. NCAA — which also was tried in Oakland, California, before U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken — that concluded with a ruling, later partially overturned, that the NCAA had violated an- titrust law. The O’Bannon case, brought by the former UCLA basketball star, was more narrowly focused on the use of the names and images of players on TV and in video games, but struck at the same core issue of this case: whether college athletes deserve a larger portion of the billions generated by their sports. In this case, the plaintiffs — more than 40,000 current and former college athletes — seek a ruling that would abolish NCAA rules capping compensation for athletes at the value of a college education, clearing the way for conferences to set their own rules. A victory for athletes could create a world in which, for exam- ple, Southeastern Conference schools could decide to offer top recruits signing bonuses of $100,000 or more, and Pac-12 schools could decide to offer $25,000 bonuses per year of school completed, incentivizing athletes staying in school longer. Confer- ences less interested in offering cash instead could create other recruiting perks, such as lifetime health insurance or free graduate education. Less wealthy conferenc- es, outside the so-called “Power Five” that controls college football, could continue offering full schol- arships and nothing more. In a statement, Donald Remy, the NCAA’s chief legal officer, denounced the athletes’ demands, and asserted they would sap money from sports subsidized by football and basketball. “All of the Clemson and Ala- bama student-athletes taking the field in the College Football Play- off championship game are just that: students. However, the plain- tiffs would rather see a world in which paid professionals would instead take the field,” said Remy, who earned $933,000 in 2017, the most recent year the NCAA’s nonprofit IRS filing is available. “Replacing scholarships with salaries would professionalize col- lege sports, de-emphasize aca- demics and reduce future oppor- tunities for incoming student- athletes,” Remy said.

RECORDINGS Bad Bunny’s debut album is bold lesson in genre erosion By Chris Richards The Washington Post

As opposed to that well-liked boy band from Liverpool, Bad Bunny of San Juan is not bigger than Baby Jesus of Nazareth. Not yet, at least.

Horoscopes Dilbert By Scott Adams Today’s birthday (Jan. 8): Dream your perfect world this year. Personal discipline expands your capacities and results. Love catches you by surprise. Winter expenses hit shared accounts, leading to stronger collabo- ration with your partner. Reorient yourself this summer before a personal breakthrough illuminates. Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is an 8. Check public opin- ion. Friends can be especially helpful, although misunder- standings or delays could frustrate. Taurus (April 20-May 20): 8. Pursue professional objectives. Work takes priority as you prepare for an inspection. Avoid gossip, and keep confidences. Consider consequences, which could get expensive. Baby Blues By Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott Gemini (May 21-June 20): 8. Get outside and explore. Discus- sions could cause a change in plans. Favor action over talk. Take an opportunity to study your subject closely. Cancer (June 21-July 22): 8. Financial matters have your attention. Make sure you’re on track with the budget.

Bridge East-West vulnerable, South deals North Dick Tracy By Joe Staton and Mike Curtis ♠ 10 5 4 2 ♥ A Q 3 ♦ 10 4 ♣ A 7 6 5 West East ♠ A 9 6 3 ♠ Q 8 7 ♥ 10 4 ♥ 9 8 6 2 ♦ K J 6 ♦ Q 9 2 ♣ Q 10 9 2 ♣ J 8 4 South ♠ K J ♥ K J 7 5 ♦ A 8 7 5 3 ♣ K 3 Gail Greenberg, from the New York City area, has been Animal Crackers By Mike Osbun one of the world’s best women players for many decades. She was South in today’s deal. Had she opened one diamond, her partner’s one spade response would have put her in a tough spot. Her hand was too strong to rebid one no trump and not strong The bidding: enough to bid two hearts — a reverse. South West North East She would have had 1NT Pass 2♣ Pass to rebid her five- 2♥ Pass 3NT All pass card diamond suit ♣ — almost always Opening lead: Ten of a poor idea. She avoided this problem by opening with a slightly off shape one no trump. The defense got off to their best lead and Greenberg had a problem. Should the diamonds split 3-3, she could get two Prickly City By Scott Stantis extra tricks from the diamond suit, but she would have to give up the lead twice. The defense would have time to set up two club tricks to go with two diamonds and the ace of spades. She used her imagination and came up with a line of play that had a better chance — not a good chance, just a better chance. Can you spot it? She won the opening club lead in dummy and led a low spade to her jack and West’s ace. She won the club continuation in hand with the king and cashed the king of spades. She then crossed to dummy with the ace of hearts and led a low spade. The fall of the queen made the 10 of spades her ninth trick. Well done!
