J e s u s a Ursonal Tatad, 39, already faces two life sentences stemming from charges in the Nov. 26 attack. Chief Deputy D i s t r i c t
Attorney Karen Guidotti said her ofce will look at the autopsy ndings before deciding whether to add a murder charge to the case which already includes assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated mayhem, torture and domestic violence. Tatad and the 36-year-old victim were divorced but living together. Prosecutors say Tatad thought he
was unfaithful and, at approximately 10:50 a.m. Nov. 26, boiled a pot of water which she poured on his face and upper body. The sleeping man reportedly awoke in intense pain and tried running to the bathroom for safety but Tatad, who prosecutors say was waiting for him, reportedly struck him in the head with a baseball bat. The man
managed to ee the second-story apartment and responding police found him in the street with serious burns. Police arrested Tatad at the home while the man was taken to San Francisco General Hospital with second- and third-degree burns over 60 percent of his face and upper

At first, Deborah and Cliff Kemper loved the freedom of having an empty nest. When their two children were rst moved out of the house, they climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and traveled around Europe. But when they returned to their empty four-bedroom home in San Carlos, they felt they were not doing anything to improve society. Over the past three years, the Kempers have been foster parents to
four children. One is now their adopted daughter, and they are currently fostering two children. We had motivation to change what the world is, but you cant change the whole world, said Cliff, 53, vice president of an international IT rm. We wanted to make a change right here, said Deborah, 53, associate executive director of the San Mateo County Bar Association. They became licensed foster parents after completing the background check and about 40 hours of
foster parent training over a few weekends. They volunteered to foster older children, siblings and mixed-race children. They did not volunteer to take children with physical disabilities, however, each foster child has special needs, said Cliff. These are not kids whose parents suddenly died in a plane crash, he said. These are kids who have been raised by drug-addicted or abusive parents.

Fatal beating suspect fit for trial

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Police reports
Rough night or early morning?
A man was cited for sitting on the front step of a buildings entrance wearing nothing but a pair of high heels on Avenue Del Ora in Redwood City before 9:27 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 6.
The transient accused of beating an elderly Belmont man so severely during a home invasion robbery he later died is mentally t to stand trial on potentially capital murder charges, a judge ruled Friday. The conclusion means Tyler Hutchinson will not be recommitted to a state mental facility but instead stand trial for the murder and robbery of 88-year-old Albert Korn. Korn died in 2009, two weeks after allegedly encountering Hutchinson who prosecutors say broke into his Hallmark Drive home, beat him and ed in his car with a wallet and jewelry. Hutchinson was identied as the suspect after being arrested for similar home invasion robberies in West Sacramento. After being convicted in those crimes, he was transferred here. Hutchinson was also charged in an attack on correctional ofcers while jailed
after his arrest. Hutchinson was committed to a hospital after being found mentally unfit in April but doctors there found him competent and returned him to San Mateo County for prosecution. Rather than accept the finding, Hutchinsons Tyler Hutchinson appointed attorney asked a judge to render the nal decision. On Friday, the defense attorneys withdrew their request and Judge Mark Forcum conrmed that Hutchinson is now able to aid in his own defense. Prosecutors must now show that there is enough evidence to try him on the charges. They had not yet had a preliminary hearing before defense attorneys Jim Thompson and Richard Keyes raised doubts about their clients competency. After being found competent, Hutchinson
did not waive his right to a speedy trial and the hearing was set for Dec. 22. However, the defense indicated it would le a motion seeking more time over the clients objection, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti. The District Attorneys Ofce must also decide whether to seek the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole. Hutchinson is eligible for Death Row because he is charged with murder, robbery and the special allegation he committed the murder during the commission of another felony. Hutchinsons competency was questioned in Yolo County and also in previous San Mateo County cases. In one incident, approximately a year before Korns beating, Hutchinson reportedly yelled epithets and spit at one of two women standing with their young children at the Hillsdale Caltrain station in San Mateo. He was sentenced to 120 days jail and probation. Hutchinson remains in custody without bail.

A man accused of attacking his South San Francisco neighbor with a machete after being asked to leave a barbecue was sentenced Friday to a year in jail and supervised probation. Pedro Ramirez Garcia, 32, pleaded no contest to felony assault with a deadly weapon rather than stand trial for attempted murder, brandishing a weapon, assault with a deadly weapon, making threats and resisting arrest. In return, he was promised no more than two years in prison. On Friday, Judge Robert Foiles imposed three years supervised probation and a year in county jail with credit for 249 days.

South San Francisco police arrested Garcia June 26 after being summoned by other partygoers to the home in the 400 block of Baden
Avenue. Garcia, who is a friend of the host, was reportedly asked to leave the gathering after making inappropriate comments to female guests Pedro Garcia and authorities say he lifted his shirt to show rifle ammunition in his waistband. He then threatened to shoot the host before leaving the party, going to his home next door and returning to the barbecue with the machete, according to police. The victim suffered cuts on his hands as he struggled to disarm Garcia. During the struggle, Garcia also allegedly bit the victim on the back, according to police. While partygoers tried to intervene, Garcia fled the scene into the arms of awaiting police officers. He is being held on $500,000 bail.

State Assembly wont appeal decision on lawmaker budgets

By Juliet Williams
SACRAMENTO The California state Assembly will not appeal a judges ruling ordering the lower house to release details about individual members budgets, a spokeswoman for Assembly Speaker John Perez said Friday. Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Timothy Frawley last week sided with The Sacramento Bee and Los Angeles Times in a lawsuit that claimed Perez, D-Los Angeles, and other legislative leaders were withholding documents that should be available to the public. We felt that the judges decision was very clear and we remain committed to improving public access to Assembly documents, said Robin Swanson, a spokeswoman for Perez.
The Assembly Rules Committee, which oversees lawmakers spending and all other records, refused last summer to release spending and budget information for all 80 members of the state Assembly to the newspapers and other news organizations. They sought the records after a feud between Perez and Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, D-La Canada-Flintridge, went public. Portantino claimed his ofce budget was slashed as retaliation for voting against the state budget last year. His request for expenditures by all Assembly members was refused under the Legislative Open Records Act, a Barack Obama speaks on the extension of the payroll tax cut. 1975 law that the state Assembly and Senate have for years used to deny records on everything from where lawmakers y on the public dime to how many staff are directly assigned to their ofces. know at a school he had never attended.

FDA panel backs birth control patch despite risks

ADELPHI, Md. A panel of federal health advisers said Friday that a birth control patch from Johnson & Johnson probably carries a higher risk of blood clots than older drugs, but should remain available as an option for women who have trouble taking a daily pill. The Food and Drug Administrations panel of reproductive health experts voted 19-5 that the benets of the Ortho Evra patch outweigh its risks, specically a potentially higher risk of dangerous blood clots in the legs and lungs. Panelists said the patch can be especially useful for younger women who have difculty sticking to a daily pill regimen. I have many teenagers and its the only method theyll use for them its the perfect method, said Dr. Melissa Gilliam of the University of Chicago.
House GOP introduces bill renewing payroll tax cut

By Alan Fram and Ricardo Alonso Zaldivar
WASHINGTON House Republicans unveiled a bill Friday renewing the Social Security payroll tax cut and extending but trimming unemployment benets but barreled toward a showdown with President Barack Obama by including language jumpstarting work on a controversial oil pipeline. With Democrats claiming the measure is too stingy toward jobless and lower-income people, next weeks House vote looms as the opening scufe in a year-end battle that will let each party spotlight its economic priorities ahead of Novembers presidential and congressional elections. The two parties generally agree on the bills
pillars: preventing the Jan. 1 expiration of payroll tax cuts and of extra coverage for the long-term unemployed, and avoiding a mandated cut in payments the government sends doctors for treating Medicare patients. But the GOP tax cut and jobless benets are less generous than Democrats want. And Republicans ignore the White Houses preference to nance the bill by boosting taxes on millionaires, instead paying their bills price tag more than $180 billion by extracting money from federal workers, boosting federal fees and requiring higher-earning seniors to pay more for Medicare. This package does not include everything Republicans would like, nor does it have all that Democrats have called for, said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. But it is a win for the American people and worthy of the presidents signature.
Congress rebuffs easing of Iran sanctions

By Donna Cassata
WASHINGTON Republicans and Democrats determined to look tough on Iran and avoid any election-year challenges to their pro-Israel bona des are rebufng Obama administration pleas to ease proposed penalties on Irans central bank. The administration argues that the crippling penalties would undercut a carefully calibrat-
ed international effort targeting Tehran and would drive up oil prices, a potential economic boon that would help nance Irans suspected pursuit of a nuclear weapon while hitting cash-strapped Americans at the gas pump. Just weeks after announcing a new round of restrictions, President Barack Obama on Thursday dismissed some of the political noise out there and said his administration has systematically imposed the toughest sanctions on Iran ever.

The National Defense Authorization Act

The Telegraph, Macon, Ga.
Other voices
Feinstein, D-Calif., and Lindsay Graham, R-S.C., allowed the military to hold, indenitely, without charge, terror suspects arrested inside or outside the United States, including American citizens. And it would have transferred authority to prosecute those individuals from the Justice Department to the military. Certainly, if not for the amendment that states: Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect existing law or authorities relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United States or any
s Democrats and Republicans fall all over themselves trying to come up with ways not to raise payroll taxes on millions of Americans all with an eye toward next falls elections there is another, more sinister proposal working its way through Congress. The Senate passed the National Defense Authorization Act sponsored by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., by a vote of 93-7. That measure would have, if not for an amendment offered by Sen. Dianne
other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States, the president would have been forced to use his veto power. The amendment passed 99 to 1. Who was the lone holdout? Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz. We all want to stop terrorism, but the ability of government to hold American citizens in military custody without charge or trial, indenitely, is not consistent with our Constitution and way of life. What would make our lawmakers believe such a proposal would not be objectionable? Fear. Fear makes men and women do foolish things. While we have to be ever vigilant, we must not, in our desire to protect ourselves, lose our soul.
Independent thinking can be a lonely endeavor

conclusion I came to many years ago is the price of independent thought is loneliness. If one has independently arrived at opinions that do not conform to conventional wisdom or the surrounding culture, one could become, not only rejected, but also very lonely. And for most of the past 30 years, I have been very lonely. Especially with political opinions. Since Ive looked only for intelligent and patriotic candidates, irrespective of political parties, I apparently have confused some into believing I was a supporter of one political party or another when, actually, I have worked for members of both major parties. It still amuses me that one reader was writing 11 letters exposing me as a Socialist at the same time I was working my buns off trying to get a Republican, Tom Campbell, elected governor of the state of California. My point is, I have not won any popularity contests with my view that Ronald Reagans election was one of the two major tragedies of the last half of the 20th century, the other being our Vietnam intervention. I can bypass his impeachable violation of American law by selling arms to Iran and many more poor moral judgments, but not the initiation of the decline of America with his woollyheaded implementation of conservative political and social ideological fantasies. Or the cowardly economists and columnists, fearing the national obsession for Reagan and the kissing of the hem of his saintly robes, universally characterizing the negative economic developments as the last 30 years which, of course should read since Reagans election in 1980. But, perish the thought of tarnishing the golden shield of the king and his ideological roundtable of deluded conservatives. If anyone knows of a case where any writer, actually, has written since the election of Ronald Reagan, please forward to me and I will apologize. Further, for 30 years, I have been writing about the growing vast disparity of income and net worth and the wasting away of the middle class, concealed as more wives needed to enter the workforce, the need for multiple breadwinner jobs and the borrowing on credit cards necessary to keep the families aoat. For me, the most devastating development is I received no reader communication at all that either disagreed or agreed with me and I came to the conclusion the middle class was more engrossed in entertainment to even notice what was happening around it. I was right. It wasnt until the economic bubble burst that the sleeping giant, the middle class, awoke to nd for the most part it was too late. The vast majority of the nations wealth is already in the hands of perhaps only 1 percent of the population and we already have a quasi-oligarchy, a plutocracy, pulling the economic and political strings of the nation and still growing in unprecedented wealth and power while the rest of the population continues to sink. The national economy suffers as there is less and less middle-class discretionary spending to keep our consumer-based economy aoat. And so, the concept of the 99 percent of the rest of us was born. Of course, that movement has been ridiculed and more and more members are being beaten up and arrested. But despite Newt Gingrichs now famous bon mot, Go home and get a job after you take a bath (to a background of great laughter cheering and applause) and the hardy, hahr, hahr laughing programs on the Fox News network, the revolution is growing and is unstoppable as the middle class continues to hang on. How will this all play out in the 2012 election? Depends upon how successful the Republican governors and state legislatures are in their ongoing programs of making it harder for the lower economic classes to vote. I would say about 50/50. But that will not end the rebellion. It only has the potential of making it more violent as many of the 99 percenters become more frustrated (Remember there are still 300 million guns available in our unhappy land). But now, with the reality of the national economic condition nally being voiced by a naive president, who apparently has nally realized that one cannot deal on a fairness basis with oligarchs, plutocrats and uncompromising, unyielding conservatives, in a compelling and monumental speech in Osawatomie, Kan. last week, summarized the true economic condition and decline of the country. Yes, it is, truly, class warfare, but he didnt start it. But with this speech, best of all, I dont really need to carry the ball alone anymore. So maybe, this time, with his recognition of how far we have wandered from social and economic fairness, I may not end up feeling so lonely anymore.

Letters to the editor

Thoughts on Obamas speech
Editor, The Obama hour-long campaign address in Osawatomie, Kan., Tuesday reported: Inequality distorts our democracy. He added, It gives an outsized voice to the few who can afford high priced lobbyists and unlimited campaign contributions and runs the risk of selling out democracy to the highest bidder. First of all, I dont believe the public is that concerned about economic inequality the baseball player, movie actor or big-time entrepreneur who makes a million dollars a year has my best wishes they add to the economy and I dont want their job! As far as his concern that campaign contributions run the risk of selling out democracy to the highest bidder, I guess he knows his administration better than I do. I think he should see that any public ofcial, Democrat or Republican, who takes a bribe goes to jail. be considered equally t. For healthy youth of a given age, higher weight reects more muscle mass; thus, students of higher weight should, from a physiological standpoint, perform better on tests of aerobic capacity. However, this principle cannot logically be applied to youth who are overweight or obese. We should revisit the 2011 tness criteria for aerobic capacity so that standards do not unintentionally discriminate against overweight youth, who already face potential stigma. The standards do not need to be completely overhauled on a positive note, they align Californias standards for weight status with those of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Thus, with the new standards that California is using, youth will be assigned to the same weight category whether their weight is assessed at school or in the doctors ofce. We just need to ensure that youth are held to appropriate tness standards across weight categories. that Redwood City Neighbors United has organized to ght this huge corporation, whose intentions are not and really have never been in the best interest of the health of our environment. Im following this closely as many of my family and friends still live in Redwood City and their interests are the same as mine.

Tripped up by Tripoli
Editor, Letter writer Mark Peterson invokes the Ten Commandments and the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli to prove that America was not founded on Christianity (History of our national motto, Daily Journal, Dec. 3). I am not disputing his conclusion, but I do question his fairness. He claims that the Constitutions First Amendment, which established freedom of religion, violates at least one of the commandments because the Christian god expressly prohibits the free exercise of religion when it prohibits other gods. The commandments are Jewish, not Christian, in origin. Peterson wrote that the Treaty of Tripoli stated that the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion. That would be a reference to article 11 of the treaty. It should be noted that the article was dropped when the treaty was renegotiated eight years later, by which time the infant U.S. Navy had grown so strong it could defeat pirates in the Muslim world where it was able to bring marines to the shores of Tripoli.

Youth need appropriate fitness standards

Editor, In the story, Fitness test shows mixed results published in the Dec. 1 issue of the Daily Journal, reporter Heather Murtagh reported a decline in the tness of Californias youth based on data from the 2011 state tness tests. But that decline is based at least in part on a change in standards. As of 2011, new tness standards were put in place by FITNESSGRAM, the program used for public school tness tests in California. Unfortunately, these new standards for aerobic capacity usually assessed by mile-run time actually penalize overweight youth by expecting them to run a faster mile time than their leaner peers to

efforts to contain its debt crisis. The market will likely remain volatile in the coming weeks, Detrick said, because the Europe plan is only a minor step toward a solution. Weve seen these agreements before, and they can just as easily deteriorate, Detrick said. The Dow closed up 186.56 points, or 1.6 percent, at 12,184.26. Its up 1.4 percent for the week. Bank stocks led the market higher, reflecting traders optimism about Europes progress toward solving its crisis.

The biggest European banks have been downgraded.

Trade deficit continues to shrinks

By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON The U.S. trade decit narrowed in October to its lowest point of the year after Americans bought fewer foreign cars and imported less oil. The shrinking trade gap boosted growth over the summer and may do so again in the nal three months of the year. But economists worry the trend could reverse next year, especially if Europes debt crisis worsens. The Commerce Department said Friday that the trade decit shrank 1.6 percent to $43.5 billion. It was the fourth straight monthly decline. Overall imports fell 1 percent to $222.6 billion, which largely reected a 5 percent decline in oil imports. The
average price of imported oil fell for the fth straight month to the lowest level since March. Oil prices rose last winter because of turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa. Exports slipped 0.8 percent to $179.2 billion, the rst drop after three months of gains. Shipments of industrial supplies, such as natural gas, copper and chemicals, fell. Exports of autos and agricultural goods also dropped. A lower decit is the latest sign that the economy has rebounded after nearly stalling in the spring. It boosts economic growth because it typically means foreign nations are buying more American goods. That can lead to more jobs and higher consumer spending, which fuels 70 percent of economic activity. Economists expect the decit to widen in the coming months. Oil prices are
increasing and Europe is likely to import fewer U.S. goods as its economy weakens. At the same time, U.S. businesses are stocking up on foreign goods as consumer demand improves. Exports to Europe are bound to weaken substantially, while imports will pick up steam as U.S. companies rebuild inventory, Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, said in a note to clients. Excluding oil, the trade decit rose to $19.1 billion in October from $17.6 billion the previous month. Imports of consumer goods increased in October, as retailers stocked up for the holiday shopping season. The U.S. imported more televisions, toys and games, audio equipment and other household goods. Pharmaceutical imports also increased.
HP to offer webOS as open-source software

By Rachel Metz
SAN FRANCISCO It may be one of the technology worlds most expensive efforts to give something away: Hewlett-Packard Co. said Friday that its making its webOS mobile system available as open-source software that anyone can use and modify freely. HP snagged the intuitive webOS software when it paid $1.8 billion in 2010 for Palm Inc. in what became a failed effort to revive the ailing smartphone pioneer. HP said it still plans to develop and support webOS. First released on the Palm Pre smart-
phone in 2009, webOS ultimately ran on several smartphones. In July, HP also used it on its tablet computer, the TouchPad. The webOS software was marked by its multitasking capabilities and the ability to view open apps as cards that you can slide across the screen, tap to enlarge or ick to dismiss. Initially, it was generally well-reviewed by technology critics. The mobile devices never caught on with consumers, though, many of whom were more enticed by Apple Inc.s iPhone and iPad and smartphones running Google Inc.s Android software. Developers also werent that interested
in creating apps for such a small audience. HP hopes that by offering it to the open-source community, more mobile apps will be developed. The move could also mean that other consumer-electronics manufacturers would decide to make devices that use the software. Forrester Research analyst Frank Gillett called HPs decision creative. He suspects companies would have been interested in buying webOS from HP, but hes not sure how much they would have wanted to pay for it. This way, HP gets to make a limited investment in webOS future and keep a hand in mobile software.
To thwart porn, colleges buy up .xxx sites

By Patrick Condon
ST. PAUL, Minn. The University of Kansas is buying up website names such as www.KUgirls.xxx and www.KUnurses.xxx. But not because its planning a Hot Babes of Kansas site or an X-rated gallery of the Nude Girls of the Land of Aaahs. Instead, the university and countless
other schools and businesses are rushing to prevent their good names from falling into the hands of the pornography industry. Over the past two months, they have snapped up tens of thousands of .xxx website names that could be exploited by the adult entertainment business. Down the road theres no way we can predict what some unscrupulous entrepreneur might come up with, said Paul Vander Tuig, trademark licensing direc-
tor at the Lawrence, Kan., school. The university spent nearly $3,000 in all. It plans to sit on the .xxx names and do nothing with them. The brand-new .xxx suffix is an adults-only variation on .com. The .xxx name went on sale to the public for the rst time this week, promoted as a way to enable porn sites to distinguish themselves and a means of making it easier for Internet lters to screen out things parents dont want their children to see.

Panthers win thriller Knights

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Thats four in a row, thanks to No. 4, for the Burlingame boys basketball team. You get the sense from watching Burlingame point guard Frankie Ferrari lead the team that theyll be plenty of tournament victories under his watch in years to come. Only a sophomore, Ferrari was named the Most Valuable Player of the Burlingame Lions Club Invitational Tournament after leading the Panthers to a 65-62 victory over Sacred Heart Prep in a thrilling ball game that makes you wish the rest of the season would be that exciting. With chaos surrounding him following a superb second half surge by the Gators, in which they erased a 19-point decit and actually led by seven, Ferrari calmly and coolly orchestrated a comeback with less than three minutes to play in the game. His pass to Connor Haupt with 19 seconds left set up what ended up being the gamewinning triple. He controls the game, said Burlingame head coach Jeff Dowd of his young guard. And thats the best and simplest way of putting Ferraris play into context No. 4 scored 24 points and had seven assists. The win in the Lions Club tourney is Burlingames fourth in a row. My teammates, my parents, my coaches, they all make me better, Ferrari said when asked where he summons his veteran poise. They deserve all the credit. We didnt go in wanting to give up the lead like that. But when you do, you have to ght back. I thought this win shows the character of this team. Theres a lot to be said about Sacred Heart and the character they showed Friday night. Playing without their starting point guard and nding themselves down 16 points at the half, the Gators didnt fold and quit. I am (impressed) said SHP head coach Tony Martinelli of the way his boys bounced back. Especially early in the season and playing against a quality opponent that does a lot things well. To be able to execute against them this early in the season when the whole rst half we werent able to do it, and kind of go from the things we talked about at halftime and just really focus on those, it gives you a

Burlingames Will Dobson, left, gets tied up by Sacred Heart Preps Will Bannick during the championship game of the Burlingame Lions Club Tournament.The Gators trailed by as many as 19 before building a seven-point lead in the fourth quarter. The Panthers came back, however,to record a 65-62 win,their fourth-straight Lions Club Tournament title.
They say the rst win is always the hardest and the Hillsdale boys basketball team has found that out the hard way. Three games into the 2011-12 season, the Knights were still in search of that elusive rst victory. Weve had two, two-point losses, said Hillsdale coach Brett Stevenson. You take those hard. Friday night, the Knights hosted Crystal Springs Uplands School and, after a pedestrian start, Hillsdale put the pedal to the metal and came away with a 59-28 win. Slow (start) in the first (quarter), Stevenson said. The last three quarters, thats the way we can play the game. Hillsdale (1-3 overall) trailed 10-8 after the opening eight minutes before scoring 17 in the second quarter, 15 in the third and 19 in the fourth. Crystal Springs, on the other hand, started fairly well before fading badly in the second half. The Gryphons (2-3) led by two after the rst quarter and trailed by just ve, 25-20, at halftime. In the second half, however, the Gryphons managed just eight points. (Our problem) is putting halves together, said Crystal Springs coach Ned Diamond. I think we missed eight, nine free throws in the rst half. If we make those it builds our condence. The Gryphons were virtually a one-man show with Andrew Lim scoring a game-high 16 points, seven of which came from the free throw line. Unfortunately, he didnt get a lot of help from his teammates. Jake Kohn added ve and Gary Lee had four. There is no question Lim is the Gryphons best player and he is not afraid to shoot the

GLENDALE, Ariz. The Arizona Cardinals like to consider the San Francisco 49ers their biggest rival. The problem is, to be a rival you have to win once in a while. The 49ers, newly crowned champions of the NFC West, have beaten Arizona ve times in a row heading into their matchup on Sunday. Eventually youve got to stand up and ght and go out and get a victory, Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald said. Enough has to be enough at some point. For it to be a rivalry, youve got to beat them. Four of the last ve matchups havent even been close, with the 49ers outscoring Arizona by a combined 112-29. That doesnt matter, Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said. That doesnt have anything to do with this game. I mean, you could lose 50 in a row and the next game you could kill them. Thats the NFL.

GREEN BAY, Wis. With a punishing running game, strong pass rush and perhaps the NFLs best kicking game, the Oakland Raiders just might have the formula to challenge the Green Bay Packers bid for a perfect season. That said, Raiders coach Hue Jackson knows his team will have to muster something near perfection to derail the 12-0 Packers. You just have to play your best game, Jackson said. You have to play as well as youve played all year. Thats why everybodys going to take their shot at them, no doubt. Its our opportunity now. Were the next team up and were not coming in to lose. Thats for sure. But going into Sundays game at Lambeau Field, the Raiders werent anywhere near their best last week. Oakland is coming off an uninspiring 34-14 loss at Miami not the kind of
effort expected from a team thats trying to claw its way into the playoffs. The Packers are coming off a thrilling last-second victory over the Giants in New York. Now theyve won 18 straight games, including the playoffs, the Hue Jackson second-longest winning streak in NFL history. Packers players continue to fend off talk of going undefeated and expect a strong effort from the Raiders. Theyre ghting for a playoff spot right now, Aaron Rodgers said. Theyre tied for the division lead and they know how important this game is to them. This game is important to us, too. We have an opportunity to sew up a rst-round bye and to get to 6-0 at home. Its an important game for both sides and well be ready for their best shot.

Second-half goals lift Burlingame

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Burlingame girls soccer head coach Phillip DeRosa knows his young squad will have their fair share of ups and downs in 2011. Hopefully, with the plethora of young talent at his disposal, his downs will still equate to victories. Such was the case Friday in the Panthers opening game of their home tournament. Burlingame looked very much like the youngest team DeRosa has elded in recent years during the rst half. But come the nal 35 minutes, the Panthers put it together against Terra Nova, scoring two goals en route to a 2-1 victory in Group A. The win gives Burlingame eight points in the round-robin style showcase six for the win and a pair of points for the goals. It a game-by-game process, DeRosa said. What makes it fun is the challenge of putting this together. These kids are very coachable. Its going to be really fun to see how they progress as a team. Theyre starting to come together, identify their strengths and work with each other. It appears one of the biggest strengths this season for the Panthers will be their mideld play. Savannah McCann, Janine Chafee and Lena Mendelson contributed
heavily to a second-half charge that gave Burlingame the victory. While the goals came in the second half, there was very little doubt that Burlingame controlled the games initial portion as the Panthers outshot the Tigers 5-2. Still, there was some home frustration given their inability to nd the back of the net. There were some adjustments, DeRosa said. You can see the difference between the rst half and the second. We made some adjustments in the second half that really paid dividends. DeRosa has the luxury of a group of players that, despite their youth, seem to absorb his instruction very well. Last year you stepped on the eld and you could tell we had a lot of upper classmen, Mendelson said. This year, you can just tell were young. We just need to nd the most effective way to score. Once the younger girls start guring out our runs and which players to look for, well be OK. Burlingame grasped that concept and used the play of Chafee on the left wing in the second half to produce quality looks at the net. They got the break they needed in the 49th minute on the opposite side of the pitch when Abby Hohenschuh snuck inside her defender and ried a shot to Terra Novas back post that

beat the keeper low for the initial score. DeRosa said he told his girls in the pregame meeting to not get frustrated. There are times when you are clearly in control, you get off
some shots but they wont go in. I preached patience. Keep playing your game, try to connect you passes and make good touches on the ball. Mendelsons speed in the mideld gave Terra Nova ts the entire evening. Her efforts were rewarded in the 65th minute with a goal. She didnt really have as good of a game as she normally has, DeRosa said. Shes clearly a very special player, very tough to deal with 1-v-1. Shes got tremendous skill, very cat-quick, no question about it. We went into the game expecting the score to be a little higher, Mendelson said. The opportunities were there. Personally, I dont feel like I capitalized on my opportunities. But seeing us get the chances that we did is a good sign. Terra Nova pulled a goal back in the dying seconds of the match to not go empty-handed. Under the rules of the Burlingame showcase, theyll receive a point.

Wisconsins Ball thrilled As send Cahill to D-backs being on Heisman stage

By Chris Jenkins
MILWAUKEE Although hes preparing a speech just in case, Montee Ball swears its OK if he doesnt win the Heisman Trophy. Considering where he was in the middle of last season, buried on Wisconsins depth chart and pondering his future in football, going to New York as a nalist for the award is enough for him. Its an honor just to make it there, Ball told reporters in Madison earlier this week. Thats enough for me, right there just making it, just sitting next to all the other great players in the country. After scoring a jaw-dropping 38 touchdowns and helping the Badgers to the Rose Bowl, Ball joins Alabama running back Trent Richardson, Baylor quarterback Robert Grifn III, Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck and LSU cornerback Tyrann Mathieu as nalists attending Saturdays ceremony. For Ball, its the high point in a remarkable one-year turnaround. Ball became an afterthought as a sophomore midway through last season, falling behind John Clay and freshman James White in the Badgers running back rotation. The low point came in Wisconsins biggest game of the 2010 season, a victory over Ohio State. Ball didnt play. At that time, I would never have thought that Id make it this far, Ball said. But Im glad to see myself stick through it, really ght through that situation and stay the course. Balls father, Montee Sr., told the Wisconsin State Journal earlier this season that Ball considered transferring after that game or even moving to linebacker. Instead, with encouragement from his family, Ball recommitted himself. Ball scored the game-winning touchdown in a wild comeback victory at Iowa the following
week, and took off from there. He carried the ball 20-plus times and gained 120-plus yards in each of the Badgers last ve games last season, scoring 14 touchdowns during that stretch. But his real transformation came in the offseason, when Ball shed weight and got faster. The result was a runner who could dart past people instead of just running them over, and its showing. Balls 38 total touchdowns are one shy of the NCAA record of 39 set by Barry Sanders for Oklahoma State in 1988. Ball has scored multiple touchdowns in each game this season and was named the Big Tens offensive player of the year. Still, he was nervous going into Monday nights announcement, unsure that he would be named a nalist. You have your doubts, Ball said. Ill honestly tell you what I was thinking, I was like, I have to make it, I have to make it. I had a great season. But then I also had my doubts, saying maybe I didnt do good enough. But thank God I made it. The Badgers have had a pair of Heisman winners: fullback Alan Ameche in 1954 and running back Ron Dayne in 1999. Ball doesnt remember watching Dayne that year, but he and Dayne do text each other occasionally. He just said, stay the course, keep playing hard because thats the only thing you can control, Ball said. And itll all just unfold itself at the end. Balls late-season bid for Heisman consideration was something of a curveball for Wisconsins athletic department, after throwing their early support behind a campaign for quarterback Russell Wilson. As the season progressed, Badgers coach Bret Bielema played it down the middle, saying both players deserved consideration. Wilson said he would cast a ballot for Ball if he had a vote.
OAKLAND Kevin Towers sees an opportunity for the Arizona Diamondbacks to defend their division title, and he isnt about to sit still. The NL West champion D-backs added a front-line starter Friday and boosted their bullpen, acquiring pitchers Trevor Cahill, Craig Breslow and cash from the Oakland Athletics. And Towers isnt done he still hopes to add another starter, though its unclear if that will be Joe Saunders with the sides still far apart in negotiations. The As received starting pitcher Jarrod Parker, outTrevor Cahill elder Collin Cowgill and reliever Ryan Cook in the trade Friday, all players the As envision could be on the major league roster in 2012. Towers has been committed to winning with pitching since he took the job as Arizonas general manager, and it paid off in his rst season. Cahill will complement a talented rotation fea-
turing 21-game winner Ian Kennedy and 16game winner Daniel Hudson. Arizona won 94 games 29 more than in 2010 under manager Kirk Gibson on the way to a surprising division title over the 2010 World Series champion San Francisco Giants. We see a window after winning the NL West. Were in a go-for-it mode to stay on top of the division, Towers said. We feel weve got a young starter to go along with Daniel Hudson, Josh Collmenter and Ian Kennedy. Hopefully, we can keep this rotation together for a long time. Weve got four starters we feel are as good as anybody in the NL West. With Trevor in the fold we feel our rotation is that much better. The Diamondbacks lost in the rst round of the playoffs to Milwaukee in ve games and are determined to get back in 2012. As GM Billy Beane, meanwhile, is in rebuilding mode with the hopes that the club will be able to build a new ballpark in San Jose and move out of the rundown Oakland Coliseum in a few years. These are two different organizations going in two different directions, Breslow said. Im excited to be on this end of this one, with a team competing for a World Series championship.

Hes a rhythm guy. So hats off to him, he kept the mental toughness to keep rolling. Roll the Gators did. Three possessions into the fourth quarter, Kevin Donahoes bucket cut the lead to one and following a turnover on the inbound, McConnell gave the Gators their rst lead on a reverse lay-in. The rest of the game would go back and forth, with each team hitting big shots down the stretch. McConnells step-back triple gave the Gators their biggest lead at 59-52. But then, Ferrari took over. His 3-pointer cut the deficit to two and after Galliani knocked down a jumper for the Gators, it was Ferrari who came back and answered with a rainbow 3 that kept the Panthers close. The Gators turned the ball over and following some missed free throws by both teams, it was Ferraris pass to Haupt on the right wing that produced the go-ahead trifecta, sending the Burlingame crowd into bedlam. Haupt added a pair of free throws late to give the Panthers a three-point lead. The Gators had the nal possession and put the ball in McConnells hands. But his shot rang off the rim. Donohoe rebounded and put up a desperation 3, but it was to no avail, thus giving the Panthers their fourth straight Lions Club title.

lot of condence as you move forward. SHP fell behind early thanks to a 7-0 run to begin the game and an air-tight defense, concentrated mainly on Cole McConnell, who didnt score in the rst quarter and only had six points at halfs end. At the end of one, Burlingame already led by 12. The Panthers would increase their lead despite back-to-back buckets by the Gators to begin the second. An 8-0 run was the catalyst for the Panthers as they built a 31-15 lead. McConnell cut it a bit with a 3-pointer late only to see Haupt execute a four-point play late to give the Panthers a 38-22 lead going into recess. Whatever Martinelli discussed with his team at the half worked. Intensity and condence, Martinelli said. When the guys come out with intensity, come off screens condent ready to shoot the ball, the game is easier. It got easier for the Gators as soon as McConnell found his stroke. Held to six points in the rst half, No. 10 scored 10 in second, including ve in the third quarter that got SHP to within single digits. His assist on a Ricky Galliani bucket cut the lead to seven. By the end of the third their decit was only ve. I think we wore down a little on McConnell, Dowd said. Maybe I should have got some fresh legs on him. We gambled a little bit and let him get some open shots.
Charlotte advances to mens soccer final

Julio Lara can be reached by email: julio@smdailyjournal.com, or by phone: 344-5200, ext. 109.
HOOVER, Ala. Unseeded Charlotte beat second-seeded Creighton in penalty kicks Friday night to advance to the NCAA mens soccer nal for the rst time. The 49ers (17-4-3) and Bluejays (21-3) failed to score in regulation and both of the 10-minute overtime sessions. But Charlotte converted each of its four penalty kicks, compared to one for Creighton. Charlotte will face either top-seeded North Carolina or UCLA in the nal. Charlotte pulled starting goalie Klay Davis for the penalty kicks and replaced him with 6-foot-3 Gavin Dawson, who blocked one shot. Creighton (21-3) also missed a shot high. Isaac Cowles had the winning shot, blasting the ball to the right of Creighton goalkeeper Brian Holt. I have to give it to Gavin, Cowles said. He really stepped up for us. He made that stop to give me the cushion I needed. It was only the fourth game of the season for Dawson, who also came in for the penalty kicks in Charlottes victory over Connecticut in the tournament quarternals. We play the players who are the best at each job, and Gavin is very, very good at the penalty stopping, Charlotte coach Jeremy Gunn said. Hes the best man for the job. Creighton, which had won 11 consecutive
games, controlled the match throughout the rst half. The Bluejays outshot Charlotte 7-2, and most of the action took place on the 49ers end of the eld. But Davis made three saves, including one during an early urry of three shots directly in front of the goal, and Creighton had two shots bounce off the crossbar. We had a great rhythm going in the rst half. It was just that our shots didnt fall, Creighton coach Elmar Bolowich said. We had some opportunities. The crossbar got in the way a couple of times. Thats just part of the game. When that happens, you have to nd a way to get another opportunity. It just wasnt meant to be today. Creightons offense became stagnant as the second half progressed, and the Bluejays did not have a shot on goal in either of the overtime periods. We lost it a little bit in the second half, and (Charlotte) did a very good job defensively, Bolowich said. Charlotte, which will face top-seeded North Carolina or UCLA in the nal, is. attempting to become the rst unseeded team to win the championship since UC Santa Barbara in 2006. This isnt a Cinderella team. Weve been playing great soccer for a number of years, Gunn said. There are a lot of teams out there that are every bit as good as this group, but we have a resolve and a determination.

ball. The problem Crystal Springs faces is standing around and watching Lim trying to take over. This week in practice I told the guys it cant be ball watching and it cant be Andrew Lim watching either, Diamond said.
Hes really our only returning contributor from last year. We need to nd ways to get other people involved. Conversely, Hillsdale had 10 players get in the scoring column, led by Gabe Fodors 11 points and seven rebounds. Ralph Cote added 10, while Angelo Bautista and Brandon Moy each had seven points apiece. With only three seniors, however, growing pains for the Knights should be expected. You can see it. Certain guys are still feeling out the varsity level, Stevenson said. Im an impatient person. I told [the team] I have to have realistic expectations about this preseason schedule. This group won on the freshman level and as sophomores. Now theyre making that huge jump to varsity. Its going to take some time. The game was nip-and-tuck in the opening eight minutes and the Knights headed into the second period trailing by a bucket. Lim hit a spinning jumper for the rst basket of the second quarter to put the Gryphons up 12-8. Hillsdale pulled within a point, 12-11, after Bautista converted a three-point play. Minutes later, Tushar Raghuram converted a three-point play of his own to tie the game at 14. The Knights took the lead for good, 17-16, after Cote buried a 3-pointer and they pushed the lead even further on a Danny Mahoney layup. A Lim 3-pointer cut the Gryphons decit to 21-20, but the
Knights ended the rst half on buckets from Cote and Fodor to lead 25-20 at halftime. The Knights all but put the game away in the third quarter. They opened the second half with a 7-0 run before Mahoney showed just how good he can be. While he nished with just ve points, he had assists on three straight Hillsdale hoops that saw the Knights lead balloon to 39-24 with 3:34 left in the third. First, he found Bautista on the baseline with a no-look laser of a pass that Bautista converted into a layup. Another no-look helper went to Fodor in the post and his third went to Bautista again, who made the basket, was fouled and completed the three-point play. I think Dannys a six, seven rebound guy, a 3-to-1 assist-toturnover ratio, Stevenson said. I think hes a well-rounded player. I think hes still trying to gure out his role. The fourth quarter was much like the second and third for Hillsdale a quarter in which the Knights basically did whatever they wanted. While disappointed, Diamond still has a positive outlook on what the season can be for his Gryphons. Thats why he likes to schedule tough opponents during the non-league portion of the schedule. Games like this in December will help us in February, Diamond said.

A wild day of personnel moves by NBA teams

The NBAs amnesty era is under way. Taking advantage of the leagues new get-out-of-a-contract card, the Orlando Magic waived Gilbert Arenas and the $62 million he was owed over the next three seasons as one of the very rst moves after the lockout formally ended, and the New York Knicks were preparing to use the clause on Chauncey Billups a precursor to adding Tyson Chandler as a free agent from the champion Dallas Mavericks. There was Dwight Howard trade talk, widespread reaction over the NBAs decision to reject a proposed
trade of Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Lakers, and dozens of moves in short order as teams worked briskly to start lling their rosters for a rapidly approaching season. And nally, rookies could become, well, rookies. Kyrie Irving, the No. 1 pick this year, signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers, as did No. 4 pick Tristan Thompson. The biggest news was likely yet to come, and New York was in the epicenter of speculation. Chandler was on his way to New York, though was not yet a member of the Knicks who ran their rst practice without even enough players to play 4-on-4 ball. A person with knowl-
edge of the Knicks plans told the Associated Press that the team will rst trade Ronny Turiaf, then use amnesty to waive Billups and his $14.2 million salary to free up space for Chandler and what could be a $58 million deal over four years. Howard showed up for the start of Magic camp, amid reports that he was seeking a trade to New Jersey. Orlando was close to making one trade, working on nalizing a deal to acquire Glen Davis from the Boston Celtics for Brandon Bass. The Magic made a slew of other moves, signing veteran guard Larry Hughes and former Boston draft pick Gabe Pruitt, along with rookies Justin Harper and DeAndre Liggins.
Arenas still gets his money, of course amnesty only means that teams can rid themselves of salary for cap and luxury-tax calculation purposes. Teams could begin signing players and completing other transactions at 2 p.m. Friday, with most set to begin practice shortly afterward. The lockout lasted more than ve months, leading to a shortened 66-game season that starts on Christmas Day. With about two weeks to set rosters, teams were expected to make dozens of moves Friday. A day after the Paul trade fell apart, the All-Star guard showed up for work in New Orleans. In Los Angeles, Pau
Gasol another part of the deal, he was to be sent to Houston was at Lakers camp. Lamar Odom, who was presumed to be bound for New Orleans, showed up more than 90 minutes late for that rst practice of the post-Phil Jackson-era, then left after meeting with general manager Mitch Kupchak. In Phoenix, a person with knowledge of the deal told the Associated Press that Grant Hill is returning to the Suns on a $6.5 million, one-year deal, and later, the team announced that Vince Carter was waived. That move was expected, and only $4 million of Carters contract was guaranteed anyway.
Criticism of NBA squashing Paul trade pouring in

NEW YORK Even with a urry of moves around the NBA, the focus remained on the deal that didnt get done. Chris Paul is still in New Orleans, and theres anger throughout the league about it. Instead of the immediate boost the league craved coming out the lockout with free agency and training camps opening, it found itself with another
public relations disaster. Thats the rst thing I thought. We just got done arguing for four or ve months and everyone just wants to see basketball and now Chris Paul this. Huge controversy, again with NBA owners, said Minnesota forward Anthony
Tolliver, the Timberwolves player representative. I just hope it doesnt damage everybody and hope it doesnt affect everybody in the whole league, which I think it possibly could. This is a really big deal because its everywhere, all over ESPN, all over every website, CNN, everything. Its a really big deal. The Hornets, owned by the league, had agreed to a three-team trade Thursday that would have sent their All-Star point guard to the Los Angeles
Lakers. But the league killed the deal for basketball reasons and has denied the decision came about because of pressure on Commissioner David Stern from angry owners. The 26-year-old Paul was seen walking into New Orleans training facility Friday wearing a black Hornets practice jersey. The Houston players who would have been on the move instead took part in their rst practice with new coach Kevin McHale. Ive got nothing to share. These
guys are here today, we talked about it today. In the NBA, lots of stuff happens. A lot happens thats really good, a lot happens sometimes thats bad. I felt bad for those guys, McHale said. I felt terrible, seeing their names all over the place, theyre traded, theyre not traded. Thats very hard. I know sometimes, we all get into that, that theyre athletes and all of that. Theyre human beings, and thats a big change. I felt bad for them, but hey, we discussed it.

fun, and it prepared me for the moment, Jackson said about making those calls. C o a c h Carnesecca said what hes said Mark Jackson for 30 years now, Make sure my best player does not take the basketball out of bounds. He has been consistent with that message.

Jacksons Warriors focus on defense during 1st day

By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND Before Mark Jackson even took the court for his rst day leading the Golden State Warriors, he spent a quiet solo moment calling three old coaches. He left messages for Jeff Van Gundy and Rick Pitino to thank them for their contributions to his career, and spoke to his college coach at St. Johns, Lou Carnesecca. And Jackson a preacher on the side made one more quick call to wife Desiree, asking her to say a prayer for him. It was a great time. It was a lot of
guys accountable. He did just that on Day 1. With some lighthearted razzing along the way. Jackson hollered good-naturedly at guard Monta Ellis after a series of full-court sprints to check up on his star player. You all right, Monta?... You sure? A few of his players wondered the same thing about their coach when he jumped into a 4-on-4 defensive drill to help out the undermanned Warriors, currently a team of just nine. He still has it. I thought at rst we were going to wheel him out of here,
forward Dorell Wright said. Now we can believe what hes saying because hes out there doing it. Andris Biedrins got a kick out of seeing the coach take part. Monta did really well, so he told Monta, Get out, Monta, you did so well, just relax, let me do this, Biedrins said of the moment. That was pretty awesome. Said Ellis: I dont know if thats a good thing or a bad thing. Hes just showing its going to be different around here. Thats for sure. During the closed portion of practice, there was constant noise, clapping and cheers coming from Jackson and his team.

ORLANDO, Fla. Two former basketball players have accused exAmateur Athletic Union president Robert Bobby Dodd of molesting them as children, according to an ESPN report. The AAU conrmed late Friday that it is investigating the claims, which reportedly date from the 1980s. One of the players, 43-yearold Ralph West, told ESPNs Outside the Lines he was assaulted in Memphis in 1984. Both West and a second unidentied man said news reports about the Penn State child sex abuse case prompted them to independently confront Dodd in November. The player, who spoke to ESPN on the condition of anonymity, said he called Dodd on Nov. 11 and that Dodd apologized for the alleged abuse. ESPN conrmed an eight-minute call to Dodd by examining telephone records. Memphis police said in a statement that it had been contacted by the AAU and was looking into the allegations. The Memphis Police Department takes allegations of child sexual abuse very seriously, Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong said. Although this case has its challenges due to the amount of time that has passed, it will be thoroughly examined; and if the investigation reveals the law was violated, the person responsible will be held accountable. AAU Acting President Louis Stout released a statement Friday saying that the 63-year-old Dodd has colon cancer and will not return to his positions as president and executive director. Stout also confirmed that the organization is conducting its own probe.

aspects of the game that arent going 100 percent the way the offense is right now, which is operating on all cylinders, Clay Matthews said. Yeah, of course wed love to give up less yards, less big plays, and continue to improve. And we will. I think points per game is what really matters, and the plays were creating. Theres still a lot left out there that we havent given, which we need to moving forward. The Raiders have 33 sacks this season, tying them for fth-most in the NFL. Theyre led by Kamerion Wimbley, who has seven sacks including four against San Diego on Nov. 10. Theyll have to get after Rodgers, who is in the middle of perhaps the best season by a quarterback in NFL history. Aaron Rodgers shows everybody love, Lito Sheppard said. Hes not throwing the ball 80 times to one guy. Hes throwing it to the open guy and everybodys making plays. Thats one reason theyve been so effective. You cant say Ill take away this guy or that guy. Rodgers says the Raiders secondary challenges opposing quarterbacks with lots of different looks. And as Rodgers recalls the Packers desperate effort to make the playoffs last year, he expects the same sort of effort from a Raiders team trying to do the same thing. I think that has to factor into their mindset and their preparation knowing the urgency thats attached to that, Rodgers said. If you think about last year, we had to win two to get into the playoffs. There was an extra urgency and focus that went into our week of preparation. You have to factor that into how theyre going to play the game. If the Raiders can keep it close by keeping Rodgers off the eld or putting him into the turf special teams could be decisive. Shane Lechler is averaging a league-best 50.8 yards per punt and kicker Sebastian Janikowski is 5 for 6 from 50-plus yards this season. Theyre great, Jackson said. I wouldnt trade our two guys for anything in the world.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
RAIDERS
Wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey said the Raiders are more worried about trying to win the AFC West than they are about stopping the Packers winning streak. I (couldnt) care less if theyre trying to go undefeated, Heyward-Bey said. They could be 0 and whatever, and Im still trying to get that win. So, whatever their deal is and how they want to go about their business, is their business. I know our business is just trying to win our division. Oaklands formula for beating the Packers would likely include a heavy dose of running back Michael Bush, a powerful 245-pounder. The Packers struggled to stop another big back, LeGarrette Blount, in a Nov. 20 victory over Tampa Bay. But quarterback Carson Palmer could use a few more of his offensive playmakers back from injury. Running back Darren McFadden has missed ve straight games with a right foot injury, receiver Jacoby Ford has missed three games with a left foot injury and receiver Denarius Moore has missed two games with a right foot injury. That has been a challenge for quarterback Carson Palmer, whos still trying to get up to speed on the Raiders offense and trying to establish chemistry with his new teammates. Still, Palmer cant wait to play at Lambeau even with temperatures dipping into the 30s this week. Its my favorite place to play, Palmer said. I love getting a chance to go out there and play and just be in that atmosphere. Its a great environment. Its fun to be cold. The Packers have spent most of this season talking about getting better on defense, but their formula has remained pretty much the same: The Packers give up a ton of yards, especially through the air, but seem to make enough big plays to get the ball back to the offense. Everybodys going to blow up certain
Warriors talk possibility of San Francisco arena

SAN FRANCISCO The Golden State Warriors are irting with the idea of moving from Oakland back to San Francisco. Team owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber met this week with Mayor Ed Lee to discuss the feasibility of building an arena south of AT&T Park. San Francisco Giants CEO Larry Baer also joined Wednesdays talks, initiated by Lee. Its the rst time Lacob and Guber have publicly stated their intent to explore options in the city since buying the team last year. The potential for building an arena near AT&T Park is very exciting, Lacob told the San Francisco Chronicle (http://bit.ly/rQ86Q8 ). The Giants have done some remarkable things over there. Its a great ballpark that revitalized an entire part of the city. The owners also have been in discussions with Oakland about the possibility of replac-
ing Oracle Arena at its current site. Lacob said he had a meeting with Mayor Jean Quan last week to inform her about the teams plans to check out San Francisco. The Warriors lease at Oracle Arena, the oldest venue in the NBA, expires after the 2016-17 season. Built in 1966, its two years older than New Yorks Madison Square Garden. If the San Francisco negotiations are successful, the team would be returning to the city it called home during the 1960s, when they played at the Cow Palace. By 1966, it began playing some home games at what was then called the Oakland Coliseum Arena and eventually moved across the bay in 1971. This is a great opportunity for San Francisco, and Im going to make sure the Warriors know that we are ready to welcome them back home, Lee said, touting the jobs and revenue the team could bring to the city.
Group trying to keep Athletics in Oakland

By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND The coalition group Lets Go Oakland is making a last-ditch effort to keep the Oakland Athletics from leaving the East Bay apparently fearing the NBAs Golden State Warriors and NFLs Oakland Raiders could follow without suitable venues. Oakland Mayor Jean Quan said Friday a letter is being sent to baseball Commissioner Bud Selig to let him know the city wants to keep the As. Selig appointed a committee in March 2009 to evaluate the issue facing the Bay Areas two baseball teams, yet he has provided no timetable for when he might announce a decision. As owner Lew Wolff, determined to move his club south to San Jose so it can survive, and general manager Billy Beane have said they
expect to hear something from Major League Baseball by next month. We are sending a letter to Bud Selig to make it clear Oakland wants the As and we have two sites for the As that are viable by 2014, Quan said. We want them to stay. She insists her city still has a legitimate site near the rundown Oakland Coliseum, which is shared by the As and Raiders, to build a new ballpark and basketball arena, as well as a waterfront spot in the trendy Jack London Square neighborhood that could work only for a ballpark. Environmental impact reports have yet to be completed. New Warriors owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber are considering moving their team across the bay to San Francisco, while the Raiders are dealing with a similar problem to that of the As since they play at the same stadium. It happens to everybody. You just nd a groove in a game and you just start trusting things and your natural ability just takes over, Kolb said. Thats obviously where I need to be as a player and where we need to be as an offense. Continue the success our defense has had, and we can be a dangerous team. Whisenhunt said Arizonas defense played well against the 49ers, even though it gave up 431 yards, but the team couldnt overcome the turnover avalanche. John Skelton, then playing in place of the injured Kolb, was benched after throwing his third interception. Third-string quarterback Rich Bartel threw 23 yards to Fitzgerald midway through the nal quarter for Arizonas lone score. San Franciscos Smith said it appears that the Cardinals are trying to speed up their offense with the return of Kolb. Theyre running a little bit quicker tempo on offense, Smith said. He denitely keeps plays alive with his legs. It looks like theyve installed more stuff with him in there, so theyre denitely a better team with him in there. Beanie Wells and the Cardinals running game will slam into a defense that ranks rst in the NFL against the run at 71.8 yards per game. San Francisco has not allowed a rushing touchdown this season. Its how everybody works together, DBs included, Smith explained. Everybody knows their run lanes, everybody knows their ts, and everybody does their job and is held accountable to that. Its just a really good, solid group of guys that know how to play together and know what the other guy is going to do, and know what they expect you to do. Arizonas 6-foot-8 defensive end Calais Campbell said he does hold a special place in his head for the 49ers, recent outcomes notwithstanding. This is one team that I dislike more than others, he said. Its kind of the way its been around here. I really want to win this game.
NINERS
the NFC West title in a 26-0 victory over St. Louis. Im not a psychologist, he said, but I think our guys understand how important this is and that every week is a football ght and theres a way to prepare for that physically, mentally and emotionally. I trust our guys to get that done. Specically, there is the matter of a rst-round bye in the playoffs if San Francisco (10-2) nishes with one of the conferences best two records. Were able to win a few more games and secure a second-round seed, so thats kind of our mindset right now, 49ers defensive lineman Justin Smith said. It starts with going down to Arizona and playing a pretty good team. The Cardinals are practicing as if San Franciscos Patrick Willis will play, even though his status is uncertain. Arizona offensive coordinator Larry Miller said Willis might be the best middle linebacker in football. You give him a tremendous amount of respect, Miller said. He can play downhill, hes physical at the point, rarely loses those one-onone matchups, has speed to stay on the eld in dime situations. Hes very smart, especially in their scheme, so he presents you with a lot of matchup issues. Willis went down with a right hamstring injury late in Sundays victory. Kevin Kolb, out for ve weeks with a right turf toe injury and bruise on the side of the same foot, returned at quarterback for Arizona against the Cowboys. After a rusty rst half, he threw for 203 yards after halftime, including a 52-yard pass play to LaRod Stephens-Howling for the game-winning touchdown in overtime. He hopes it serves as a sign of things to come.

ith the holidays right around the corner, television commercials and the radio have been repeatedly playing traditional Christmas carols such as Its the Most Wonderful time of the Year, to which students without the luxury of basking in all the holiday fun roll their eyes and get back to studying for their huge calculus nal. Yes, it is that time of year again. First semester for most students is now coming to a close and teacher have begun creating and passing out the 20-page review intended to help students as they start studying for nal exams. Finals, also known as death by examination among students, come at the end of each semester and consist of all material learned throughout the class. That forces students to study several months worth of material for several classes. Perhaps the most difcult and most dreaded exams of the school year could not possibly come at a worse time. Right before winter break when students are discussing their vacation plans and are busy trying to meet their Jan. 1 college application deadline, nals are the last thing anyone wants to be thinking about. Carlmont High School student Erin Grieg expressed that with nals two weeks away, she doesnt feel there is enough time to adequately study for all her classes on top of all the other homework, college applications and planning for the holidays. Im stretched really thin, said Grieg, Theres just too much that need to be done in a small amount of time. For other Carlmont students, nal exams this year have really come at an inconvenient time as they interfere with their holiday celebrations. Dana Bloom celebrates Hanukkah, and her nals fall at the same exact time as her holiday celebrations. That leaves her no choice but to sacrice celebrating to study. The rst night of Hanukkah is on the rst night of nals, said Bloom. We would usually have a nice dinner with extended family but, because I will have to study all night, a big family dinner and celebration cant happen. Finals also have the potential to either make or break your grade which is why they can often send students into frenzy. My grade in my history class is literally bordering an A-. If I dont do well on the nal, Ill end up with a B+ in the class, said

Oldman exorcises ghost of Guinnesswith Tinker

By David Germain
LOS ANGELES Gary Oldman agonized over whether he should tinker with British spymaster George Smiley, a character who is an institution to John le Carres readers and already had been played to perfection by Alec Guinness. The lmmakers behind the big-screen adaptation of le Carres Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy wanted Oldman to play Smiley so much that they offered him the role before he met with them to talk it over. Oldman spent a month mulling it over, and even once he had agreed, the actor had a moment of terror a week before shooting, wondering if he could pull it off. The ghost of Guinness just sort of loomed so large, Oldman said of Sir Alec, who brilliantly played Smiley on television in a 1979 miniseries of Tinker and 1982s Smileys People. Oldman nally exorcised that ghost by likening Smiley to classical roles played again and again by different actors. If youre going to play Hamlet, youre going to be measured against all the great Hamlets that have come before you. Or Lear, or Willy Loman, or Blanche DuBois, or whoever, Oldman said in an interview for Tinker, which opens in U.S. theaters Friday. Youre always going to be somewhat in the shadow of a great performance. No matter how good Guinness was as the frumpy, unfashionable spy whose bland exterior concealed fierce intellect and drive, Oldman gured he was entitled to create his own incarnation of Smiley. Good thing. Oldman delivers what could be his nest performance in a career that ranges from notorious dark spirits (Sid Vicious in Sid and Nancy, Lee Harvey Oswald in JFK, the bloodsucking end of Dracula) to noble souls (Harry Potters godfather in the fantasy series, Beethoven in Immortal

Itll embarrass him, but he is a hero of mine. A lot of guys my age and younger look up to him, because he takes such risks with the parts that hes played. Tinker director Tomas Alfredson calls

Oldman the Swiss Army knife of acting because of his versatility. Unlike the frenetic energy he infused in many past characters, Oldman had to bring a stillness to Smiley, who is brought out of retirement to unmask a Russian mole in British intelligence at the height of the Cold War. Gary is such a mature actor, he knows that even a neck can be very expressive, Alfredson said. Like in the beginning of the scene where he gets red, were very close to
his neck, and we can see how humiliated he is without looking in his eyes. Its fantastic. The story is a dense one, abridged from a sprawling novel whose action flits about among dozens of key characters all over Europe. The lmmakers are faithful to le Carres 1970s setting, subtle dialogue and thoughtful pace. They havent gussied up the lm with car chases and shootouts, letting the action unfold with a slow, meticulous momentum that proves riveting. Theres a sort of industry wisdom, an unchallenged sort of thing out there, that this is serious adult drama that studios dont want to make, and people shouldnt be writing it, people shouldnt be directing it, and audiences dont want to see it. I like to think weve proved them wrong, Oldman said. Already a hit in Britain, where it opened in September, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy comes into a wide-open Academy Awards season with great buzz for Oldmans bestactor prospects. Oscar contender would be a new role for Oldman, 53, one of those actors so universally respected youd gure he must have half a dozen past nominations behind him. But not only has Oldman never won an Oscar hes never been nominated. Its never really bothered me. I just go about my life and my thing and work. And there are moments in careers where the light shines on you, and you recede, you go back into the shadows. Therere ups and downs in a career, said Oldman, who likes the sound of his awards chatter. I am attered, to be very truthful. Im enjoying it. ... Ive heard it before, and it might be my time. I mean, for a nomination. Id be happy with that. Oldman reprises his role as Police Commissioner Gordon opposite Christian Bales Batman in next summers The Dark

How Trees Benet Our Health While Absorbing Air Pollutants

By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE As a Past President of the Millbrae Lions Club I was recently asked to take on the position of Tree Planting Chairman. It is a goal of the current Lions Clubs International President for all Lions Clubs across the world to plant one million trees during the 2011-2012 term. This new responsibility reminded me of a plan I had in the back of my mind to donate a number of trees on behalf of the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS for planting on several sparsely landscaped strips at Saint Dunstans Church in Millbrae. Ive always been a fan of planting trees, and my new task as Tree Planting Chair gave me an excuse to follow through with this previous goal. I immediately put my plan into action, so as of this writing 17 good sized Redwood Trees have already been planted at Saint Dunstans which will grow up tall and lush (see the picture to the right of me with one of the trees on the day they were planted). Trees are a major life sustaining feature of our planet. They not only help secure the ground they are planted in, but are the home to countless numbers of species. Trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) in addition to other harmful pollutants from the atmosphere, and during photosynthesis they release the oxygen we breathe. An acre of trees absorbs enough CO2 over one year to equal the amount produced by driving a car 26,000 miles. If everyone reading this article planted one new tree at their home it would not only create a noticeable improvement in everyones quality of life but also would benefit future generations.
Historically San Mateo County had a vast population of healthy old growth Redwood Trees. In the 1800s a large portion of these tall majestic trees were cut down to feed the quickly growing need for lumber in the up and coming city of San Francisco. During this gold rush period little was known of the benefits in keeping these trees alive and healthy. Realistically we still need lumber today, and now the lumber industry regularly replaces the trees they harvest with new young trees. Trees are a good renewable resource if used in a responsible manner, and many more trees have to be planted than harvested to support societys needs. We all have a chance to help by planting our own new trees and replacing those which may be unhealthy or have died. Tying this topic into our role at the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS is easy. Wood is used in caskets, urns, paper and other items needed for funerals. The CO2 absorbed by trees is permanently locked into the wood used to craft these items therefore keeping it out of the atmosphere. My goal is to keep planting trees where ever I find the need as to help replenish this vitally essential and health-nourishing resource. If you ever wish to discuss cremation, funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650) 588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you in a fair and helpful manner.

Stay home,dont hire The Sitter

By David Germain
Jonah Hill, worlds worst babysitter. Must have sounded like such movie magic that the makers of The Sitter grabbed the rst three brats they found on the street, shoved them in a minivan with Hill and started lming. As broad, dumb comedy goes, its not a bad idea to cast Hill as a chubby slacker roped into a hellish night tending to a high-maintenance brood. Yet other than Hills admirable work ethic trying to squeeze laughs out of this dismally underdeveloped scenario, The Sitter has nothing going for it. Not even its eeting length. Take away the opening and closing credits, and youre left with not much more than an hour of actual movie. But it feels much, much longer, watching The Sitter slog along from one rotten gag to the next. The movies also a serious racial offender, parading a gang of black actors around as hoods stealing cars, talking jive or looking for a ght. Director David Gordon Green who started as an indie-lm prodigy with such small, smart dramas as George Washington and All the Real Girls before going Hollywood with the 2008 hit Pineapple Express delivers his

second bad, raunchy comedy of the year, after last springs Your Highness. Hes single-handedly jeopardizing the goodwill R-rated comedy has gained in Hollywood from such dirtier-minded hits as Bridesmaids, Bad Teacher and others in the Judd Apatow mold. Apatow protege Hill, who leaped from a bit part in The 40-Year-Old Virgin to stardom in Superbad, plays Noah Grifth, an idler kicked out of college, living with his divorced mom and whiling away his time watching TV. His mother guilts him into taking a babysitting job for family friends, and from there, the
merry mayhem is supposed to take off. Its all just muck from then on, except for an occasional throwaway line thats worth a chuckle. Screenwriters Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanakas verbal jokes are mostly mindless, though, and The Sitter really fails in the physical comedy department with an assault of mean, humorless sight gags. The lmmakers try to sneak in tender, nurturing moments with each of the three kids: 13-year-old social outcast Slater (Max Records of Where the Wild Things Are); little sister Blithe (Landry Bender), a junior party girl whose paintedwhore makeup is not hilarious, as the lmmakers apparently believed, but simply creepy; and their adopted Hispanic brother, Rodrigo (Kevin Hernandez), a destructive monster with an arsenal of cherry bombs. Bender is shrilly annoying, Hernandez is obnoxiously annoying, while Records is merely annoying. The same goes for Ari Graynor as Noahs sort-of girlfriend, whose promise of sex sends him out cruising Manhattan in search of cocaine, taking the kids along in their parents minivan. (How did tubby loser Noah hook up with a hottie like Graynor? Who really cares?).

rewatch Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy a second time especially if you havent read the book because, truthfully, it is a bit confusing upon initial viewing. Like the spies he follows, Alfredson gives little away that includes cheap scares and easy red herrings, which is admirable but his lm is dreadfully devoid of any sort of propulsive energy. (Thankfully, the ever-charismatic Tom Hardy shows up about halfway through as a maverick eld agent to liven things up.) Smiley, whos been forced into retirement from Britains Secret Intelligence Service or the Circus, as its known is rehired to uncover a mole among its highest ranks whos been working for the Soviets. His former boss, known as Control (John Hurt), had narrowed down the suspects to ve men and given them nicknames. Theres the annoyingly eager Percy (Toby Jones), or Tinker; the overly condent and stylish Bill (Colin Firth), or Tailor; the steadfast Roy (Ciaran Hinds), or Soldier and the nosy Toby (David Dencik), or Poor Man. Smiley himself is suspect No. 5. And so he must surreptitiously sniff each one out, with the help of his much-younger assistant (Benedict Cumberbatch, which has

to be the greatest name ever). This also prompts him to reect on his own history with the Soviets. This is a grim, methodical world ruled by drab, mistrustful geeks who have come to relish their power, but Alfredson navigates it uidly and keeps the many complicated pieces moving with quiet ease. If everythings shot as if its hanging in a constant haze, thats only appropriate; we are, too. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, a Focus Features release, is rated R for violence, some sexuality/nudity and language. Running time: 127 minutes. Three stars out of four.

Original Hooters in Florida gets a facelift

By Tamara Lush
By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
A SENSE OF PLACE AT BELLAGIO. For many, art is synonymous with landscape painting. From the quiet naturalism captured by Dutch Baroque artists to the sweeping vistas of the Romantic painters, artists have represented the natural environment in all its beauty and grandeur for centuries. The long tradition of viewing art as a mirror for nature continues at the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art (BFGA) in Las Vegas, which currently presents A Sense of Place: Landscapes from Monet to Hockney. The gallery, in the heart of the AAA Five Diamond Bellagio hotel complex, showcases 33 works selected from the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and the MGM Resorts International Fine Art Collection. A Sense of Place contrasts and compares precise, representational paintings with austere, abstract works to reveal changes in the portrayal of the landscape, from Claude Monets impressionistic haystacks painted in 1885 to Vik Munizs carefully rendered pigment prints captured in 2006. Among the pieces included are Marc Chagall, Village Street, 1930s (MFA, Boston); Charles-Edouard Dubois, An Outing on the River, n.d. (MGM); Helen Frankenthaler, Ocean Desert, 1975 (MFA, Boston); David Hockney, Garrowby Hill, 1998 (MFA, Boston); Jean-Franois Millet, In the Vineyard, 185253 (MFA, Boston); Claude Monet, Meadow with Haystacks near Giverny, 1885 (MFA, Boston); Robert Rauschenberg, Soviet/American Array IV, 1998-90 (MGM); and Alfred Sisley, The Loing at Saint-Mamms, 1882 (MFA, Boston). Engaging docent tours enhance the visitors enjoyment of the exhibition. The Bellagio Gallery of Fine Arts Director Tarissa Tiberti said, The BGFA docent program is designed to be an enlightening experience for participants as well as to enrich the gallery experience for our guests. Those who are interested in learning about the artworks and artists more in depth are encouraged to join the daily complimentary tour. BGFA Representative Mark Kua, who regularly leads tours, adds, One of the unique things that a

gallery docent offers is a human touch. While some may be intimidated by the world of art, a docent can make the artwork approachable. Personally, I strive to make the artwork relatable to everyone that visits the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art, whether the guest is a seasoned museum-goer or new to art. GALLERY FACTS. A Sense of Place: Landscapes from Monet to Hockney runs through Jan. 6, 2012 and will be followed by Claude Monet: Impressions of Light, from Feb. 18, 2012 until Jan. 6, 2013.

Do you love art? Enjoy fine wine? Spend an evening discovering the similarities between the worlds of wine and art at the Bellagio Gallerys Art & Wine: A Perfect Pairing, the second Wednesday of each month from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Master Sommelier Jason Smith, Bellagios Director of Wine, pairs wines from Bellagios cellar with artworks featured in exhibitions underway. Smith said, I have spent many years studying wine, and these events are pushing my wine knowledge to a whole new level. Art & Wine: A Perfect Pairing not only allowed me to view the works of art from a different perspective, but it added a visual dimension to the joy of tasting wine. $30 for BGFA members and $38 for non-members. DINE WITH PICASSO. Bellagios AAA Five Diamond restaurant Picasso is filled with the great masters paintings, as well as his ceramics, tiles and sculptures, all incorporated into the restaurants dcor. Taking its inspiration from the villages of the Mediterranean, Picasso is a rough-hewn restaurant with a beam and brick ceiling and gesso-covered burlap walls. Claude Picasso, the son of Pablo, designed the restaurants carpet and furniture. There is no other place where people can enjoy a meal with Picasso masterpieces (unless they go to the Picasso museum in Paris with a box lunch and sit on the floor, but the security guards might object.) AND REMEMBER: Heroes take journeys, confront dragons and discover the treasure of their true selves. Carol Lynn Pearson.

CLEARWATER, Fla. The original Hooters was a ramshackle, dove-gray, two-story building perched on a stretch of road between Tampa and Clearwater Beach. Like the chains slogan, it was delightfully tacky, yet unrened and it launched a wildly popular restaurant chain that now boasts 487 locations around the world. For 28 years, it has been a magnet for folks who like chicken wings, pretty waitresses in tight clothes and cold beer (although probably not in that order). Recently, Hooters management announced that the building is undergoing a full-scale remodeling. Most of the edice was torn down and construction crews are expanding the footprint to accommodate more customers. Some would say its blasphemy in a state accused of constantly demolishing the past in favor of building the shiny, new future. Should the demise of the Original Hooters be mourned? Could a bar where scantily clad women serve clams, wings and beer ever truly be a cultural touchstone? Absolutely, says Bay Ragni, a Hooters fan from Aston, Pa. Its Ragnis life goal to visit every Hooters in the world. So far, he has been to 15, four on one recent vacation. He jokes with his wife that they should rent an RV and drive to every Hooters, collecting memorabilia along the way. But Ragni is disappointed that he wont be able to visit the very rst Hooters in its original glory. The original one would be like going to the Mecca of Hooters, Ragni said. I would denitely want to still come visit it but it wont be the same. Now that theyre changing it, it takes away a little of the originality of it. Renovation plans call for an expanded kitchen and bar originally, the restaurant served only beer and wine and a Hooters museum, said Neil Kiefer, president and CEO of Hooters Management Corp. Artifacts, a timeline, menus, original uniforms, said Kiefer, who was overseeing the construction on a recent balmy Florida winter day. Men in hard hats tramped in and out of the shell of the building, while laminated drink specials cards with smiling Hooters Girls lay stacked on a wooden porch rail. Local historic preservationists also question whether the structure should have been dramatically revamped, while saying that theyre not surprised it was.

Smileys People, possibly incorporating elements of another Smiley adventure, The Honourable Schoolboy. Oldman said he would love to have another go at Smiley, another chance to take on the ghost of Guinness. I love the tradition of Guinness and Peter Sellers, those kinds of actors, even Laurence Olivier, I guess. You only have to think of Kind Hearts and Coronets, where Guinness, I think, plays seven members of the family, doesnt he? Oldman said. You see yourself as part of that tradition, and youre aspiring to be as great as these people. So he was a hero of mine, and just a big dragon to slay. And at the end of the day, I think he was perhaps there as a friendly ghost. Hill is no funnier here than his co-stars, yet hes clearly trying to make The Sitter work. His earnestness almost makes you believe in Noah, if not in the mess of miserable action swirling around him. Advice to parents, and everyone else, looking for some decent entertainment to babysit your eyeballs for a while: dont hire The Sitter. The Sitter, a 20th Century Fox release, is rated R for crude and sexual humor, pervasive language, drug material and some violence. Running time: 81 minutes.

Oswalt: Love scene with OLDMAN Theron was nightmare

By Nicole Evatt
NEW YORK Shooting a love scene with Charlize Theron would be a dream come true for many actors, but for Patton Oswalt, who co-stars with the Oscar-winning actress in the new movie Young Adult, the experience was a nightmare. Why do I have to be in my underwear next to the most physically perfect person on the planet? Why couldnt I have been next to John Goodman or Michael Moore in their underwear? said Oswalt at the lms premiere Thursday night. It was a dream that turned into a nightmare. The dramedy, which opened in select cities Friday, stars Theron as Mavis Gary, a boozing,
delusional author of young-adult novels who returns to her hometown to win back her happily married high-school sweetheart, played by Patrick Wilson. Mavis forms an unlikely bond with nerdy former Patton Oswalt classmate Matt Freehauf, played by Oswalt. Oswalt said he kept a souvenir from his time on the set with Theron post-traumatic stress disorder. Every time I hear a car backre, I think Im Continued from page 21 getting naked again, he joked. The lm, directed by Jason Reitman and The Sitter bumbles along in an awkward written by Diablo Cody, goes into wide collection of episodes as Noah encounters release on Dec. 16. obstacle after witless obstacle, weirdo after dreary weirdo. Saddest among his new acquaintances is Sam Rockwell as a psychotic drug dealer. Rockwell is pals with Green, putting in a ne performance in the directors 2007 drama Snow Angels. Friends deserve better than what Rockwell gets in The Sitter.

Im sworn to secrecy, and were not allowed to really talk about it much. But I can say this much, that the storys terric. That hes going to really go out with a bang, Oldman said.

NASA OKs Feb. launch of private space station trip
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. A private California company will attempt the first-ever commercial cargo run to the International Space Station in February. NASA announced the news Friday, one year and one day after Space Exploration Technologies Corp., or SpaceX, became the rst private business to launch a capsule into orbit and return it safely to Earth. On Feb. 7, SpaceX will attempt another orbital flight from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. This time, the unmanned Dragon capsule will y to the space station and dock with a load of supplies. NASA stressed it is a target date. Pending all the final safety reviews and testing, SpaceX will send its Dragon spacecraft to rendezvous with the International Space Station in less than two months, said NASAs No. 2, deputy administrator Lori Garver. So it is the opening of that new commercial cargo delivery era.

Rutgers suspect rejects deal, could be deported

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. A former Rutgers University student accused of using a webcam to spy on his roommates intimate encounter with another man chose the gamble of a trial, rejecting a plea deal Friday that would have kept him out of prison and sought to prevent his deportation to India. Dharun Ravis reason was simple, said his lawyer, Steven Altman. Hes innocent. Hes not guilty, he said after the court hearing. Thats why he rejected the plea. Ravi has less than a month to reconsider before summonses are sent to prospective jurors and the judge in the case says hell close the window of opportunity for a negotiated plea bargain. With Fridays rejection, it looks more likely that Ravi will stand trial
MOSCOW Russian authorities are allowing the opposition to hold a massive protest against election fraud following a violent police crackdown on a series of unsanctioned demonstrations earlier this week, rally organizers said Friday. The decision to let up to 30,000 protesters rally on Saturday on a square across the river from the Kremlin appears to be an attempt to avoid the violence that occurred at demonstrations after last Sundays parliamentary election. Election authorities on Friday ofcially declared the vote valid, handing the victory to Prime Minister Vladimir Putins United Russia party. The party won 49 percent of the vote, but was granted 53 percent seats in the house because of votes redistributed from the three parties that did not meet the 5 percent threshold. Russias opposition parties and observers said that even that result

was highly inated because of voterigging, and international monitors also pointed to ballot stufng. The post-election protests in Moscow drew thousands and continued for several days in the biggest ever challenge to Putin, reecting growing public frustration with his rule that may complicate his bid to reclaim the presidency in
Marchs vote. The rallies were brutally dispersed by police, who rounded up hundreds of protesters. The protesters have used the Internet to coordinate their action. Over 30,000 people have already signed up to a Facebook page on Saturdays protest, and similar rallies are also planned in many cities across Russia to demand an investigation into the alleged vote fraud and call for a new vote. Ilya Ponomaryov, a lawmaker who is one of the leaders of the Left Front opposition movement, described the protest planned for Saturday as a watershed event similar to massive rallies that helped bring down Communist rule two decades ago. We expect it to become the biggest political protest in 20 years, he said at a news conference. Putin served two presidential terms from 2000 until 2008, when he shifted into the prime ministers job to abide by constitutional term limits, but remained the nations No. 1 leader.
Fire at Indian hospital kills 89 U.N. conference struggles

By Manik Banerjee
KOLKATA, India Fleeing medical staff abandoned patients to a re that killed 89 people Friday as black smoke poured through the seven-story hospital in this city in eastern India, officials said. Six administrators were arrested. Dwellers of a nearby slum who first noticed the smoke and fire rushed to the AMRI Hospital to raise the alarm, but security guards kept them back, saying it was only a small blaze, witnesses said. It took reghters in the city formerly known as Calcutta more than an hour to respond, said Pradeep Sarkar, a witness whose uncle was
hospitalized but was among those safely evacuated from the private facility. Some of the slum dwellers helped with the rescue. The neighborhoods narrow streets apparently made it difcult for re trucks to get close to the building and to bring in big hydraulic ladders. Eventually, they smashed through a main gate to make way for the ladders. Six hospital directors surrendered to police and were charged with culpable homicide, according to police who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. Mamata Banerjee, chief minister of the state of West Bengal, ordered the hospitals license withdrawn.

childrens behavior. Foster children are often parentified, meaning they have taken on the role of the parent in their homes. When she was their 8year-old foster child, their daughter would remind them to pay their power bills. Its fascinating, said Cliff. We tell them to just be kids. They have come up with innovative ways to improve the childrens challenging behaviors. Another common trait in the children has been chronic lying. We focus on telling them that it is OK to tell the truth, said Cliff. They would have lying time, when the children could lie as much as they want for a few hours, said Deborah. Consistency is very important to develop trust with the kids. If you say you are going to pick them up at three, you have to pick them up at three, said Deborah. Progress is made in baby steps, but then suddenly you notice that they trust you more, said Cliff. We didnt realize how hard it was going to be, he said. But its doable and hopefully when they have kids they can break the cycle of drug abuse or violence. For the rst time in their lives, their foster children have not missed a day of school during a semester. In the past, the children missed as much as a third of their classes because they were homeless and moving from school to school. Were just trying to give them a chance, said Cliff. You start to fall in love with the kids. It is uncertain how long they will have their foster kids. We dont worry about that, said Deborah. Because if they go back to their parents, then there is room for another kid to get help.

FOSTER
Many people have said to the Kempers that foster parenting seems too overwhelming and they would be hesitant to let a stranger into their own homes. Im worried about them not opening their homes to a stranger, said Deborah, adding that her foster children are part of the future workforce. Who knows, the person that I take care of may be the person driving my ambulance some day.
Foster children in San Mateo County

In San Mateo County, there are 279 children in out-of-home care. There is a great need for foster parents, especially for teens and children with disabilities. Pravin Patel, Human Services Agency manager, stressed that the main goal of the foster care system is to reunify children with their biological parents once their home life has been rehabilitated. Of the 3,400 calls the agency receives per year, 5 percent of the children might go to juvenile court because they are unable to reunify with their parents. People should call the child welfare hotline, he said. In 95 percent of cases, we are able to help the family stay together. The ultimate goal is to keep the children in their same community while in foster care. Currently, 35 percent of the countys foster children are forced to live outside the county. If we remove them from their neighborhoods, we remove them from their established social connections, said Patel. There is a need for Spanish- and Tagalogspeaking foster parents, said Diane Carleson, who has been foster parenting for 41 years. Carleson, who mentors and runs support groups for foster parents, said all kinds of people become foster parents. Its a potpourri of people who come through, she said. Im elderly, and you can be gay, single and you dont have to own your own home. My husband is no longer living, but that did not stop me from being a foster parent. There are three families in their 40s that have never had children before in Carlesons support group for parents fostering teens. She had a panel of former foster teens speak to her group. A common myth is that foster teens are bad kids because they come from a disruptive home, she said, but teens really want a home with consistency. They werent used to having food on the table or going on vacation, even if it was just camping in Huddart Park, she said. Foster parents should not have to be convinced to do this. They have to like teens, said Carleson. I appreciate them and love watching the ups and downs they go through, she said. The county provides continued support for foster parents including one-on-one coaching and respite care, for when parents need a break.
Foster volunteers dont have to adopt

While the Kempers have volunteered to adopt their foster children if the need arises, they stressed that this is not necessary for foster parents to adopt. There are a variety of ways to be involved in the system with varying levels of commitment. One way is to be an emergency foster parent for kids whose parents are suddenly unable to care for them. Another way is to become a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), a volunteer who focuses on the needs of an individual foster child. Advocates visit with a child weekly for activities and to make sure they are getting all the support they need. We have people who say I dont know if can have kid in my home, but Id like to make a difference in a childs life, said Patricia Miljanich, executive director of CASA of San Mateo County. An advocate can have input during court hearings with the parents. Its a signicant role, said Miljanich. A child can have social workers and foster parents, but this person can focus on advocacy in school and help inuence the decision-making process. Miljanich described one foster girl who is out of the system now and having a child of her own. Her advocate was the only adult who attended her baby shower. For more information on foster care and orientations, call (650) 802-7648, or visit www.co.sanmateo.ca.us. For more information on CASA, call (650) 212-4423, or visit www.advocatesfc.org. murder. He wont be arraigned until Monday afternoon at the earliest because the District Attorneys Ofce has yet to receive the police reports, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti. Hoffman has no prior criminal record in San Mateo County, according to court records. Hoffman moved in with Cosentino approximately three months ago and their relationship was more of a nancial arrangement than friendship, Matteucci said. It was more a place to go, he said. The apparent murder is the first for Burlingame since 2007 when a driver was fatally shot on Highway 101 in what was considered a bout of road rage.

Caring for foster children

The Kempers adopted their 11-year-old daughter on Valentines Day of this year, said Deborah, clutching a heart-shaped charm around her neck. When they first became foster parents for their daughter, they noticed vast differences in her behavior from what they had known to be typical
DEATH
Burlingame police learned of Cosentinos possible death when an acquaintance of Hoffman walked into the station approximately 3 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 8 and said Hoffman had confessed to killing his roommate, Matteucci said. The man didnt know the alleged victims name or address but police located Hoffman using his cellphone, Matteucci said. Police found Cosentinos body at approximately 7:30 p.m. Thursday. Glendale police helped apprehend Hoffman later that day and he was booked into the Maguire Correctional Facility on suspicion of

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2011 SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When it comes to
an important decision that must be made now, dont let anybody else do your thinking for you. Even if your solution isnt perfect, it might be best for your situation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Youll be a more effective problem solver if you act with speed and alacrity. Delays will only make things worse. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If two friends of yours get into an argument, you should stay out of it -- dont try to be an arbitrator. All it would do is drag you into a squabble that should be none of your affair. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- When challenged by
a friend, your inclination might be to respond with hostility, as opposed to offering an explanation. Consider first if it is really important who is right and who is wrong. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Sometimes you enjoy having your opinions and ideas questioned, but not today. You should stay away from persons whom you know from experience are habitual critics. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Dont take anything for granted when it comes to involvements with people who havent treated you fairly in the past. They havent changed. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- We all have our days
when we are a bit out of sorts. If your mate is a bit difficult to get along with, dont make matters worse by challenging them to prove a point. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Try to keep pace with your work, because there is a strong chance things could quickly get out of hand and end up overwhelming you. Do your best to stay on schedule. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- By excluding a friend from something they would normally be involved in, youre likely jeopardizing the relationship. Think how you would feel if things were reversed and it was you being left out. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If something that youre
responsible for goes badly, dont try to pass the blame onto somebody else. It would not only tarnish your image but cause you to lose a pal as well. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Weigh your words with extreme caution and limit your comments only to what you wouldnt mind being repeated. What you say will most likely be told to all who matter. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Guard any inclinations to rob Peter in order to pay Paul in hopes of somehow keeping your finances in good working order. Unfortunately, the measures taken will only be temporary. COPYRIGHT 2011 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

Britain chooses isolation over new EU treaty

LONDON After the deed was done, some leaders didnt want to shake his hand. French President Nicolas Sarkozy walked right by him, as if he wasnt there. David Cameron, the British prime minister, had become Europes outcast. His sin? Rejecting an invitation to join 26 European partners in a tighter financial alliance to save the euro, making Britain odd man out at a time of deep financial peril, and raising doubts about whether Britain can realistically remain a member of the European Union. Former British Europe minister Denis MacShane, a House of Commons legislator and longtime advocate of closer ties, said the sudden break with the other 26 countries means Britains role in the European Union is effectively over. There is now little point in Britain staying in the EU, said MacShane, who was a minister in Tony Blairs generally proEurope Labour Party government. It is an historic turning point and Britain might as well get out now, as Europes future will be settled without us. On the other side of the political spectrum, Robert Oulds, director of the euroskeptic think tank the Bruges Group, agreed. Britain being part of the EU but holding is a quintessential part of Christmas. The sooner that letter is on the way to the North Pole, the better the chances are that the gift of choice like say a Red Ryder BB Gun or I Am T-Pain mic will be under the tree on Christmas morning. Is snail mail still the way to go? There is nothing like getting a handwritten letter but if that isnt fast enough, download the free Letters to Santa Claus app. Send as many emails to Santa as youd like. It takes about an hour to get a response. Dont worry. Santas note wont promise that puppy you dont really want to get your little one. Instead of downloading an app, check out emailsanta.com. Its straightforward and free online. The website is also home to Santas blogs, his tweets bet you didnt know Santa was a Twitter fan! and the naughty and nice lists. Just put in your childs name and answer a few questions to nd out the truth. For example, this reporter scored a spot on the nice list but Santa did note that my halo can sometimes be a bit crooked. Photographs are another way to go. How can someone question Santas visit with photographic proof? Sheila Omran of San Francisco turned to Portal North Pole, www.portablenorthpole.tv, last year to keep the love of Christmas alive for her two children. With a few simple ques-
There is now little point in Britain staying in the EU....It is an historic turning point and Britain might as well get out now,as Europes future will be settled without us.
MacShane,who was a minister in Tony Blairs generally pro-Europe Labour Party government
up plans that everyone else wants is just a cause of friction, he said. Its creating trouble for David Cameron at home. Theres no middle way which can appease British public opinion and his own party and the interests of the European political class that wants more integration. His prescription: a referendum on Britains amicable exit from the EU. That would be a momentous step. The European Union, which has grown from an alliance of six nations in 1951, has been a cornerstone of Europes strategy to keep the peace since World War II by bringing former adversaries together through common economic and cultural ties. Unprecedented prosperity has flowed from its single market and its free movement of workers across borders. Integration accelerated in the past two decades with the development of a single currency, but now the euros survival is under threat as the continents debt woes spin out of control. The EU is today so intertwined that even tions, you can personalize a free video message from Santa for your kids, friends, coworkers or whoever else. They were genuinely surprised. My son was stunned because Santa knew what he had to work on. They both were surprised and thrilled to hear Santa say their name, know what city they live in, and to see photos Santa had of them, Orman said. Santas Big Helper, an iPhone app that sells for 99 cents, allows users to take a nightvision style video of their home using the patent-pending Elf Cam. Santa is inserted in the frame providing proof no 5-year-old could question. It also comes with a Christmas countdown and Santa Tracker. There is always the old standby of asking a neighbor to don the red suit and hustle up to the roof for a couple of quick photographs with your own digital camera. Or, use Photoshop to create an image of Santa bringing joy for all the children. And, if all else fails, there is always the Christmas classic of NORAD. The binational U.S.-Canadian military organization began tracking Santa for children in 1955. In the early years, children were given a phone number at the headquarters to call. Callers were given Santas location. Today, the information is available online at norad-
member countries like Britain that do not use the euro would plunge into deep and prolonged recession if the currency broke up. Thats a sobering reality that helped persuade 26 of 27 member states to consider big sacrifices of national sovereignty to keep the European dream alive. For Britain, an island nation that prides itself on its fierce independence, the idea of ceding any more control over its destiny proved too much. Cameron, exhausted after an all-night session and with his silk tie uncharacteristically askew, insisted Friday afternoon that Britain remains an influential EU member. We want to be in Europe for trade, investment, jobs and growth, he said, adding that Britain is a leading member of the NATO alliance. But he wanted no part of the new treaty, which he said didnt adequately protect Britains national interest and meant giving up too much control over regulation of Britains dominant financial sector. santa.org. Parents can even choose to use NORADs technology to track Santa on Google Earth. You can access it online at noradsanta.org or download the free app. This once-a-year effort has grown due to the love and interest of parents. And, well, NORADs belief helps the effort. Based on historical data and more than 50 years of NORAD tracking information, we believe that Santa Claus is alive and well in the hearts of children throughout the world, the organization wrote on its website. Every year, the options to help keep this mythical character alive continue to grow. And, parents keep looking for more ways to counteract their little ones learning the truth too early. We parents are just trying to keep the spirit alive for as long as we can, said Orman. They dont stay young very long and because of all the advances in technology and the type of TV shows even commercials on TV, kids are growing up way too fast. Lets keep the innocence for as long as we can.

ple. She can have Santa make one of three calls to her grandchildren good, bad or a warning. It was only $2 and its the best thing I bought this holiday season, she said. Whelan laughed while describing the delight her grandchildren, who range in age from 3 to 6, expressed when Santa called to say they were being a good little boy or girl. Going digital is a craze this holiday season not only for gifts but as a parental necessity to keep that holiday magic alive. Cellphone apps, free email services and even text messaging services are available to get answers from Santa without hitting the mall. The best part is most technology efforts are free or only cost a couple bucks. Call Santa, is a 99 cent iPhone app that allows children to call Santa and tell him what theyd like for Christmas. They can even have a video chat with him thats right, chat face to face without waiting in line. As any former child knows, writing to Santa
