Billionaire J.B. Pritzker on Thursday promised to shift some of his immense wealth into a blind trust to avoid conflicts of interest, but it’s unclear whether he will be able to fully wall off his fortune from his official duties as Illinois governor. Pritzker said he has ap- pointed Chicago-based Northern Trust Co. to act as an independent trustee and make all investment deci- sions about his personal assets. Those same rules won’t apply to the extended Pritzker family fortune that’s held in secretive on- shore and offshore trusts. Pritzker said the terms gov- erning the family trusts do EVAN VUCCI/AP not allow for the assets to be President Trump, right, salutes as a U.S. Customs Border Protection helicopter passes as he tours the Rio Grande area Thursday in Texas. moved into the blind trust.

OGDEN, Utah — Payday will come Friday without any checks for about 800,000 federal employees affected by the government shutdown, forcing workers to scale back spending, can- cel trips, apply for unem- ployment benefits and take out loans to stay afloat. IRS employee Krystle Kirkpatrick and her family, including her two children, ages 6 and 12, aren’t eating out, buying brand-name foods or getting drinks at the gas station. Her hus- band is working overtime in his job as a machinist to try to make up for her lost paycheck. Her mortgage company informed her it won’t let her skip a payment, and she still has to pay daycare even though her children aren’t going or she will lose their spot to another family on the waiting list. She has applied for unemployment but doesn’t know when the benefits will begin arriving. “It’s a very scary feeling JOSE M.

EDITORIALS MAYOR EMANUEL, ALDERMAN HOPKINS: Why the rush on Sterling Bay’s Lincoln Yards project? North Siders must have felt pretty good about Sterling Bay’s move to yank from the developer’s $5 billion Lincoln Yards project two of its most controversial features — a 20,000-seat stadium that would have been built for a minor league soccer team owned by Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts, and a sprawling entertainment district to be run by concert promoter Live Nation. Residents of Lincoln Park and Bucktown wanted neither. If built, the stadium and entertainment venues would have choked already saturated streets with more traffic, many believed. And the entertainment district would have endangered the viabili- ty of iconic music club mainstays like Schubas and the Hideout. Sterling Bay pulled those elements from its Lincoln Yards blueprints at the behest of the local alderman, Brian Hopkins, 2nd, who said he was reacting to community blowback about the stadium and entertain- ment district. There’s a lot to like about how that played out: When City Hall heeds what average Chicagoans have to say about how their neighborhoods should evolve, everyone wins. JOSE M. OSORIO/CHICAGO TRIBUNE Sterling Bay’s Lincoln Yards would include more than 70 acres along Lincoln Park and Bucktown, including the old Finkl Steel plant site.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING SCOTT STANTIS

The phrase “blue wave” appears to have come into being with the November 2017 off-year election as media outlets breathlessly described Democratic wins as signal- ing an approaching wave that would sweep Republicans out of office in the 2018 midterms. Coverage built steadily over the past year in the lead-up to an election that many outlets were predicting would result in an utter wipeout for the president’s party. Yet, when Democrats managed to achieve only modest gains, the term appears to have quickly faded away. Only MSNBC tried to keep the idea alive, with year-end pieces describing “a blue wave that crashed over the capital as Democrats took over.” Interestingly, Fox News used the term the most overall, 22 percent more than MSNBC and more than twice as often as CNN. The trend is even clearer in online news coverage. ... If the vaunted “blue wave” is dead, what is the new term that the media are using to describe the Democratic transi- tion in the House? The two words that appeared every- where in last week’s coverage of the incoming congres- sional class were “diverse” and “diversity.” ... Putting this all together, the media seem to have ac- cepted that the anticipated “blue wave” didn’t crash across the country. In its place, “diversity” has become the new favored term, but even it is already fading. When it comes to President Trump, the House is no longer an independ- ent body in the eyes of many in the media — it is merely a foil for an ever-present president.

At a U.S. Bankruptcy Court hearing Tuesday in New York, Hoffman Estates- based Sears Holdings Corp. agreed to consider Lampert’s revised bid to keep the retailer alive alongside other offers for its assets. The new bid, submitted with a required $120 million deposit, would see ESL take on $43 million in employee severance costs and cover payments for merchandise Sears ordered shortly be- fore filing for Chapter 11 in October and goods ordered before the deal closes, according to a Thursday regulatory filing. The hedge fund also would acquire some additional assets, includ- ing 57 more real estate properties. “We believe our proposal will provide substantially more value to stakeholders than any other option, in particular a liquidation, and is the best path forward for Sears, its associates and the many communities across the United States touched by Sears and Kmart stores,” ESL said Thursday in an emailed statement. After considering all bids for its assets at the bankruptcy auction Monday, Sears will aim to choose a winning bid or bidders by Wednesday, according to a timeline approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Other parties have eight days to challenge the outcome in court before the decision goes to a bankruptcy judge at a hearing expected to take place in the coming weeks.

That once was a lighthearted, third- Chicago prep legend Parker has been a spectator of person reference Bobby Portis used during his rookie season as he sat behind Taj late with Bulls, a situation that should not continue Gibson and Nikola Mirotic. It even led to a #freeBobbyPortis hashtag on Twitter. K.C. In Parker’s case, it’s serious stuff for the Johnson Bulls. On the Bulls Parker didn’t play again Wednesday against the Trail Blazers. Since coach Jim Boylen removed him from the rotation Dec. 15, Parker has logged just 14 minutes, 19 seconds of playing time. Boylen has stated publicly his reasons for benching Parker center around defensive and effort issues, as well as no player being bigger than the team. Like Fred Hoiberg before him, Boylen also isn’t comfortable playing Parker at small forward. He still can help a struggling second unit.

COLLEGES

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Report: NIU coach Carey off to Temple

Chicago Tribune staff

Northern Illinois football coach Rod Carey will be announced Friday as Temple’s new coach, ESPN and the Philadelphia In- quirer reported Thursday night. ESPN college football reporter Adam Rittenberg — who reported earlier Thursday that Carey, 47, had emerged as the top candidate for the Temple vacancy — said in a tweet that the deal was done. Former NIU great Thomas Hammock, currently the Ravens running backs coach, would be among the candidates to replace Carey, Rittenberg said. Hammock, 37, had a pair of 1,000-yard rushing seasons for the Huskies in 2000 and ’01 and served as running backs coach in DeKalb in 2005 and ’06. The Temple job was open for the second time this winter and the third time since the 2016 season. Geoff Collins, who suc- ceeded Matt Rhule in 2017, took the Georgia Tech job in December. The Owls named Miami defensive coordinator Manny Diaz as Collins’ replacement, but Diaz went back to Miami as head coach 17 days later after Mark Richt retired. Carey was 52-30 at NIU — second to Joe Novak for most wins in program history — after taking over for Dave Doeren before the 2013 Orange Bowl. In his six full PAUL SANCYA/AP seasons, the Huskies won four Michigan assistant coach Luke Yaklich has been instrumental in making the second-ranked Wolverines one of the nation’s top defensive teams.

They’ve quickly created a song for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Man- chester United. “Ole’s at the wheel,” the United faithful chant about their new manager. “Tell me how good does it feel.” Much, much better than it did under Jose Mourinho. The cloud over England’s big- gest soccer club has been lifted since United fired Mourinho, per- haps its most divisive manager ever, last month and replaced him with its former striker from Nor- way. The effect: United has won five straight matches — four in the Premier League and another in the FA Cup — and scored 16 goals in the process. The team and the fans have their swagger back. Where Mour- inho scowled, Solskjaer smiles. Marquee players Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez, shunned by Mourinho, already look revital- ized under Solskjaer. So how has the man once known at United as the “Baby- faced Assassin” because of his boyish looks and ruthlessness in front of goal masterminded such a rapid turnaround of fortunes at the club?

In many ways, Solskjaer ac- cepted a daunting task when approached by vice executive chairman Ed Woodward to take over from Mourinho. United was sixth in the Premier League, 19 points off the lead and 11 adrift of the Champions League qualifica- tion positions, after its worst start to a top-flight season. Its squad looked lopsided, the dressing room fractured. Yet he has taken to one of the most pressure-filled positions in world soccer with ease.

Just simply enjoying himself. “They are good players and it’s up to them to use their imagina- tion, creativity and just enjoy playing for this club,” Solskjaer said, “because that’s the best time of your life.” Approach That positivity and joyfulness has been reflected on the field. Defensive and cautious under the pragmatic Mourinho, United is playing with more freedom now and more akin to its traditions of attacking soccer.

Lightning Continued from Page 1 yond usual expectations when it comes to the qual- ity of the acting and of the score, but a work that lacks enough scale and thematic ambition to really appeal to adults beyond those in- dulging a fan of the books. Not that there is anything wrong with taking a young person to the theater to see a beloved volume come alive before their eyes. In fact, there is a whole lot right with that. And, for the record, an estimated 1.2 million peo- ple bought a copy of “The Lightning Thief” in the first four years following publication. There are a lot of mostly young fans of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” This musical could live long on their love. But, first, it will need to learn how to breathe. The show’s greatest asset is indeed its music. Penned by Rob Rokicki, the lively pop score has a distinct forward drive, a nice amount of musical diversity and a few terrific balladic showcases for the two top-drawer actor-singers in the show, Chris McCarrell, who is excellent as Percy, and Kristin Stokes, who JEREMY DANIEL PHOTO plays the sparky Annabeth.

1 ‘THE UPSIDE’ ⁄2 Odd couple Hart, Cranston can’t rescue subpar plot By Mark Kennedy Associated Press

It’s said that January is one of the prime months that Hollywood chooses to dump its most embarrassing films and “The Upside” doesn’t exactly disprove that notion. Few films in memory have squandered so much acting talent in such a cli- che-ridden, exploitative and dishonest way. It deserves its frozen grave. The film stars Kevin Hart as a lazy, skirt-chasing ex- con hoping to reconnect with his estranged wife and son.

It all started 14 years ago when band co- founder Cooper Crain was a teenage drummer growing up in Columbia, Mis- souri, and a friend introduced him to German art-rock band Can. “The Can DVD documentary had just come out and it was, ‘What is this?’ — it was eye-opening,” he says. The ’70s band melded psychedelia with flowing grooves and sweeping arrangements, often taking live studio jam sessions and then editing them into more coherent shapes. “It grooved, it was free, hypnotic — it had all the elements I was interested in at the time, but all in one. I don’t know if I ever heard that before that DVD, and it opened up a whole world. Without even talking about it, we started making music that had a resemblance.” Crain and his future bandmates, includ- ing founding drummer Rex McMurry, bassist Dan Browning, guitarist Jeremy Freeze and multi-instrumentalist Rob Frye, have been following that anything- but-straight-and-narrow path ever since, with a series of excellent, musically varied albums, including the relatively recent “Allways” (Drag City). Cave emerged from a funky “house in the woods” in Missouri and a Butthole Surfers-inspired “weird rock band” called Warhammer 48X in which Crain and McMurry first played together. “Hearing Can was the kickoff,” Crain says. “We lived in a college town, and there were radio programs with African groove music, funk; Bohannon was known about. We moved into this house and the group we started became this other thing — expansive, free-form.” MICHAEL VALLERA The band re-established itself in Chi- Cave bandmates Cooper Crain, from left, Rob Frye, Rex McMurry, Jeremy Freeze and Dan Browning. cago in 2007, where it found an even more inspiring music scene than the one it left When: 9 p.m. Thursday funk path, flirting with ’70s-style jazz- time.

COMEDY PREVIEW ‘Middle class of performing’ ‘Drunk History’s’ Jen Kirkman is just a little bit famous By Allison Stewart Chicago Tribune

In Jen Kirkman’s own estima- tion, she’s the stand-up comic version of middle class. She’s well-known but not so famous that it’s burdensome, well-off but not rich. You know her from somewhere. Maybe it’s her two Netflix standup specials (most recently 2017’s “Just Keep Livin’?”), her appearances on “Chelsea Lately” or her starring role in several memorable “Drunk History” episodes. Kirkman, a native of Needham, Mass., also writes (she’s pub- lished two best-selling memoirs and has written for the Amazon series “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”), and hosts a podcast, “I Seem Fun.” She has used her near-legendary Twitter feed to face down controversy about her long-ago role in the Louis C.K. scandal (on her podcast in 2015, she hinted at C.K.’s sexual mis- conduct but did not name him, and has since been accused of both maligning and protecting him). She so often tweets about the role of Russian disinformation ROBYN VON SWANK PHOTO in the 2016 elections that she has been called “a female Alex Jones Comedian Jen Kirkman, who thinks of herself as the stand-up version of middle class, plays Thalia Hall on Thursday. for centrists.” “I don’t talk about any of this in When: 8 p.m. Thursday and you can help other people. think they just recognized a histo- away for the night. my act,” Kirkman, at Thalia Hall Where: Thalia Hall, 1807 S.
