U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San

introduce legislation next month to
protect online consumers from clan-

used by some Internet sites by requir-
ing clear disclosures of their practices
and providing an ability to opt out of
online tracking. Speier authored the California law (SB 1)
that prevented financial institutions from sharing personal
customer information with unrelated third parties. SB 1 is
considered a model state financial privacy law for the nation.
Now she’ll target companies that use “cookies” and other
methods of tracking site users.
Speier’s proposal builds on recommendations in a newly
released report by the Federal Trade Commission that identi-
fies Internet practices that compromise personal privacy.

before deliberations begin.

Local brief
Commuters mistakenly fined for going
through toll plaza during Bay Bridge standoff
Some commuters who were stuck in traffic last month during
a police standoff with a distraught man on the Bay Bridge also
thought they were stuck with a fine afterward.
Hundreds of motorists who weren’t able to make it across the
bridge that morning were either charged a toll on their FasTrak
transponders or received a toll violation notice in the mail,
Metropolitan Transportation Commission spokesman John
Goodwin said Thursday.
The standoff occurred the morning of Nov. 11, when Craig
Carlos-Valentino, 51, of Antioch, stopped his SUV on the
bridge and threatened to commit suicide.
Carlos-Valentino, who had his daughter in the car and said he
was distraught over marital problems, called authorities to say
he had a gun and explosives in his car.
He was eventually taken into custody and the bridge was
reopened. Westbound traffic was turned around at the toll plaza,
but cars had to go through the plaza in order to turn around.
“Everyone who went through the toll plaza with FastTrak got
charged, and everyone who didn’t have FasTrak would have
gotten the automatically generated notice,” Goodwin said.
The system sent out the notices in the mail, but after the MTC
was notified of the error, those people “received another letter
saying the violation has been dismissed in full,” Goodwin said.

Brown plans budget forum
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Gov.-elect Jerry Brown
has invited state lawmakers and local govern-
ment officials to a budget forum to get “every-
one working from the same set of facts” sur-
rounding the state’s projected $25.4 billion
shortfall.
Brown invited Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger’s finance director, Ana
Matosantos, and Legislative Analyst Mac
Taylor to deliver presentations at the forum
Wednesday, spokesman Sterling Clifford said.
The meeting at the Sacramento Memorial
Auditorium will come just two days after
Schwarzenegger calls lawmakers back to deal
with the $6 billion deficit in the current fiscal
year, which ends June 30.
Schwarzenegger is pressing lawmakers to
begin making difficult cuts as the California’s
budget deficit is expected to grow to $25.4 bil-
lion through June 2012.
Clifford said the forum is not meant to be a
distraction from the special session.
“Obviously there’s a special session starting
and there will be budget negotiations for a long
time, but what Gov. Brown wants to do first is
to make sure everyone is working from the
same set of facts of what the problem is, how
big the problem is and how we got here,”
Clifford said.
Clifford said Brown’s forum is intended to be
the first in a series of meetings. The forums
would follow through on his campaign pledge
in calling for a “grand civic dialogue” that will
include people from throughout the state and all
socio-economic backgrounds to talk about what
California’s spending priorities should be.

The hospital is “thrilled and grateful” for

Effort to oust gay marriage judge fails
SAN FRANCISCO — An attempt to oust a
liberal judge from hearing a landmark gay
marriage case in California ended Thursday
almost as quickly as it began.
Judge Stephen Reinhardt of the 9th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals denied a request that
he recuse himself from the Proposition 8 case
because he is married to Ramona Ripston,
who plans to retire in February as head of the
American Civil Liberties Union’s Southern
California office.
The ACLU is an outspoken opponent of
Proposition 8.
Supporters of the gay marriage ban argued
in court papers Wednesday that the judge
appointed by President Carter would have
trouble remaining impartial because of his
wife’s link to the ACLU.

House speaker-to-be

WASHINGTON — The tax cut

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Homeland
Security Secretary Janet Napolitano
urged Congress Thursday to pass
legislation allowing some foreign-
born young people who were ille-
gally brought to the U.S. as children
to become legal residents.
The law would help Napolitano’s
department focus on deporting
immigrants with criminal records,
she said.
The Senate failed in September to
pass what’s known as the DREAM
Act. The bill is in the pile of legisla-
tion awaiting action in the final days
of the current Congress and it’s
unclear whether lawmakers will
vote on it again before the year ends.
The bill applies to immigrants

said it doesn’t make sense for her

“What makes sense is to allow
these young people a way to adjust
their immigration status that is firm
but fair,” Napolitano told reporters
during a White House-organized
conference call. President Barack
Obama also supports the bill.

Republicans dismissed a Pentagon
study on gays as biased and said
objections by combat troops were

Meanwhile, Assange continues

disclosures, including allegations
that Italian Prime Minister Silvio
Berlusconi accepted kickbacks and
a deeply unflattering assessment of

WikiLeaks’ release of secret gov-
ernment communications is a
warning to the world’s biggest
companies: You may be next.
Computer experts have warned
for years about the threat posed by
disgruntled insiders and by poorly
crafted security policies, which
give too much access to confiden-
tial data. And there is nothing about
WikiLeaks’ release of U.S. diplo-
matic documents to suggest that
the group can’t — or won’t — use
the same methods to reveal the
secrets of powerful corporations.
And as WikiLeaks claims it has
incriminating documents from a
major U.S. bank, possibly Bank of
America, there’s new urgency to
addressing information security
inside corporations and a reminder
of its limits when confronted with a
determined insider.
At risk are e-mails, documents,
databases and internal websites
that companies think are locked to
the outside world. Companies cre-
ate records of every decision they
make, whether it’s rolling out new
products, pursuing acquisitions,
fighting legislation, foiling rivals or
allowing executives to sell stock.
Although it’s easy technological-
ly to limit who in a company sees
specific types of information, many
companies leave access settings far
too open. And despite intentions,
mistakes happen and settings can
cially as networks grow more com-
plex with reorganizations and
acquisitions.
And even when security technol-
ogy is doing its job, it’s a poor
match if someone with legitimate
access decides to go rogue.

leak secrets are access and a cheap
thumb drive. By contrast, outside

San Francisco should drop toll proposal
T
he concept of congestion
pricing as a way to limit
the impact of automobile
traffic in cities is not necessarily
absurd, but has a number of signifi-
cant challenges.
The city of San Francisco has
discussed the possibility of conges-
tion pricing since 2004 and has had
difficulty in progressing far
because of a number of legitimate
concerns about its fairness, practi-
cality and cost. Most recently, the
San Francisco County
Transportation Authority has out-
lined several options for charging a
toll of up to $6 to enter/leave the
city at the southern gateway with
San Mateo County at Highway 101
and Interstate 280 and two separate
options for the financial district.
The idea is that the amount of
cars in the city disrupts the quality
of life of its residents and one way
to diminish that impact would be to
create a disincentive for those com-
ing into the city from outside its
borders. It could generate up to $80
million a year and the earliest the
city could set up the pricing system
would be 2015.

Excessive force
Editor,
I thought that Wednesday’s front
page photo and article (“Alleged car
thieves nabbed along San Mateo,
Belmont border” in the Dec. 1 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal) was a
prime example of excessive force by
the police. It shows an officer hold-
ing and aiming a shotgun at the sus-
pects’ head and another holding a
pistol ready to use while others
stand on the suspect’s legs and ready
their weapons.
While I have no sympathy for
criminals, none, I really feel this is
an outrageous use of excessive force
for an individual suspected of car
theft. What is that officer with the
shotgun pointed at the criminal’s
head intending to do? What reason
would he have for using it? And how

automobile on its residents.
However, most people who enter
the city are doing so to spend some
money on either entertainment or
services and the tax revenue gener-
ated from the visit should more
than pay for the impact. Besides,
people who live in a city should
know that a city is usually congest-
ed. An alternative would be to
move to the country.
Another argument is that creating
a financial disincentive for driving
will force more visitors onto public
transit. That is fine in theory, if
most visits were to be near the

Urban wood smoke is
a serious health hazard
Editor,
Burning wood in a wood stove or
fireplace is 1,000 times dirtier than
heating with natural gas. Heating a
home with wood a stove for one sea-
son generates as much particulate
pollution as driving a car 130,000
miles.
Particulate pollution is directly
correlated to rising rates of asthma
and lung disease in the Bay Area.
Residential wood smoke is the
largest source of particulate pollu-
tion in the Bay Area during the win-
ter months. It represents as great a
health hazard as second-hand ciga-
rette smoke.
The unfortunate reality is that
some people don’t care that smoke
from their chimneys is harming their
neighbors. Perhaps it’s time to pro-
hibit use of wood stoves and fire-
places in crowded, urban areas.

No more wars
Editor,
Our government has sent an air-
craft carrier off to provoke a war in
Korea. I have had this experience
before. My brother was wounded in
the Korean War and what was it
about? What is are our wars in
Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen
and Pakistan about?
You know how much it costs to
take a taxi to the airport. Wonder
how much it costs us to send this
battleship to Korea? Would it be
enough to keep Medicare in effect?
OPINION
there is a lack of reliability and
capacity. Lamentably, San
Francisco is not New York, with a
highly efficient and reasonably
priced subway system that will
deliver most people adequately
close to their destination. Although
it is relatively small for a city, San
Francisco is not the equivalent of a
European village where it is fairly
easy to park on the outside of the
city walls and walk in. What if
someone has a doctor’s appoint-
ment in the Fillmore District or
wants to visit the Legion of Honor
in the Richmond District? That is
no small task by public transit, par-
ticularly for the aged or disabled.
Charging a fee at the city’s major
entry points to the south is unfair to
residents of San Mateo County
who work in the city and could cre-
ate a burden for those who live in
South San Francisco and Daly City
since traffic will be forced onto
surface streets. While San
Could it create a lot of jobs repairing
our infrastructure? Could this money
be spent instead on keeping the
teachers, firefighters and home
health care workers on the job here

We must tell our representatives in
Congress (Jackie Speier 342-0300
and Anna Eshoo 323-2984) that we
want an end to these wars and for
the billionaires to pay a huge
increase in their taxes. No one needs
over a billion dollars in income each
and every year while our govern-
ment is going belly up. End the wars
and tax the richest 10 percent of the
people in our nation so that we can
fully fund our badly needed domes-
tic programs.

FIFA selects Qatar over U.S. for 2022 World Cup

By Raf Casert
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ZURICH — The tiny desert
nation of Qatar beat out the United
States as the 2022 World Cup host,
with FIFA brushing aside doubts
about blistering heat to bring soc-
cer’s showcase event for the first
time to the Middle East.
The 22 voters on FIFA’s executive
committee, some accused of corrup-
tion in the weeks leading up to their
meeting, picked Russia to stage the
2018 tournament, another first-time
host.
Qatar, an oil-rich nation that has
been independent since 1971, has a
population of about 1.7 million —
500,000 less than Houston. At 4,416
square miles, it is smaller than
Connecticut.
“We go to new lands,” FIFA pres-
ident Sepp Blatter said.
Qatar, which has promised to
overcome heat of up to 130 degrees
with air conditioned outdoor stadi-
ums, won out over the U.S.,
Australia, Japan and South Korea in
a secret vote Thursday.
The U.S. Soccer Federation,
which spent millions of dollars on
its bid and brought over former
President Bill Clinton for its closing
presentation, was hoping to bring
the World Cup back to America for
the first time since 1994 and boost
the steady but slow growth of the
sport in the U.S.
Russia was chosen over England
and joint bids by Spain-Portugal and
Netherlands-Belgium. “We cannot
really express how happy we are,”
said Alexey Sorokin, CEO of
Russia’s bid. “It’s a great victory.”
Following corruption allegations
that led to two executive committee
members being excluded from the
final votes, the decisions were
bound to be controversial even
before they were made. And
American sports executives will
now be left to wonder what they
have do to host another major inter-
national event.

Big night in
Bears break through late ‘The Return’
By Josh Koehn
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Nerves might have gotten the better of
Menlo-Atherton’s boys basketball team early
on Thursday night, but the Bears turned the
tables on visiting Mission San Jose-Fremont
in the final two quarters, forcing the Warriors
into 15 second-half turnovers en route to a
61-57 victory.
The win kept the club and its new coach,
former St. Francis prep star and University of
Washington point guard Senque Carey, per-
fect in their first season together at 2-0.
Ian Proulx (18 points) and Marquis Tolson
(15 points, six rebounds) led the charge in the
second-half for Menlo-Atherton, which
trailed by three after the first quarter, 16-13,
and by seven, 32-25, going into halftime.
The difference was intelligent pressure
defense, Carey said. While the Bears were
active in the first half, they were often times
out of position.
“It’s just the guys staying disciplined in
what we’re trying to do,” Carey said, adding
that a rowdy home student section may have
contributed to his players being a little too
amped up to begin the game. “That’s our big
thing — staying disciplined.”
Off to a flawless start to the season record-
wise, the Bears and their coach are happy
with the early returns. But it’s a long season,
one which doesn’t really even get going until
after the New Year.
“I think (being 2-0) is good, because what
we want to teach is want to protect our home
court,” Carey said. “But it’s nothing to get too
overjoyed about, because we should be win-
ning at home.”
The Bears were on the brink of falling
behind big early, as the Warriors continually
broke Menlo-Atherton’s press for easy buck-
ets to jump out to a 9-2 lead. Eric Yai had 17
points in the first half for Mission, but he was
held scoreless in the final two quarters. The

Raiders looking to run again Spikes holding out hope
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA — The one constant
for the Oakland Raiders through the
first nine games was the ability to
run the ball no matter the outcome,
the defense or the running back.
That’s why the lack of a ground
game during this current two-game
lull is so surprising to the Raiders.
Oakland has gained just 77 yards on
28 carries in back-to-back losses to
Pittsburgh and Miami that have
knocked the Raiders out of first
place in the AFC West.
“The biggest thing is our running
game,” tight end Zach Miller said.
“That makes everything work for
our offense. It makes play action
open, it makes throwing the ball a
little bit easier. Once we get that
running game back on track we’ll
be all right.”
The Raiders (5-6) know they need
to fix it soon if they are to have any
hopes of staying in the playoff hunt.
They travel to San Diego (6-5) on
Sunday to face a Chargers team that
has won four straight games and
allowed the third-fewest yards on
the ground in the league this season.
Establishing the running game
early will be the top task this week for
the Raiders, who have been unable to
generate any consistent offense on the
ground the past two games.
“I don’t feel like we’ve got going
from the jump, from the first play to
the last,” running back Darren
McFadden said. “I don’t feel like
we’ve got in a groove. It’s very hard
when you’re the running back. You
want to be able to get the ball and get
in the groove. The offensive linemen
like to get in the groove also. So, you
just want to try to do that and just
keep running the
ball.”
The Raiders
have been
unable to do that
the past two
w e e k s .
McFadden, who
led the NFL with
Darren 108.1 yards
rushing per
McFadden game before this
stretch, has been held to 16 yards on
18 carries the past two games.
He was hit for losses five times in
those two games, including on his
first three carries against the
Dolphins. He had just five carries
the rest of the game.
“He is as good a runner as there is
in football, and I think he’s proved
that,” coach Tom Cable said. “I
think we’ve got to get back to re-
establishing who he is and what he
brings to the table that way.”
The Raiders have been able to get
McFadden the ball in the passing
game, where he has caught nine
balls for 79 yards the past two
games.
“It’s always great to make plays,”
he said. “But at the same time, as a
running back, you want to do it on
the ground.”
Led by McFadden, the Raiders had
the league’s second-best running
game through the first nine games.
They averaged 162.2 yards per game
and topped 100 in every contest.
They averaged 4.9 yards per carry
and had success with both
McFadden and Michael Bush, who
topped 100 yards in one of his two
starts when McFadden was sidelined
with an injured right hamstring.
With a passing game that isn’t
nearly as accomplished, teams are
SPORTS
putting more and more focus on
stopping Oakland’s running game.
So whether it’s by hitting a few
big passes to open up the running
game, or finding success against
those stacked fronts, the Raiders
need to find someone to get the
ground game back on track.
“This isn’t anything new for us,”
Cable said. “You’re going to see
eight- and nine-man boxes. That’s
what happens when you’re a good
running football team. So you have
to be able to handle that. Our system
has been built to handle that. That’s
part of the deal.”
Injuries to Miller have made run-
ning the ball even more difficult as
he was their best receiving threat
and was used often on play-action.
Miller has just three catches the
past two games as he has been
slowed by plantar fasciitis and then a
bruised leg. That has allowed safeties
and linebackers to focus even more
than usual on defending the run.
“Teams are going to look and see
what you were successful at in those
games and they’ll try to stop it,”
Miller said. “They do plan to stop
the run against us. But we’ve seen
that before and still been able to run
the ball. We got to keep improving
and get it right and get it back to
how we want to run the football.”
Notes: The Raiders signed QB
J.T. O’Sullivan and placed QB

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — Takeo Spikes
has never been to the NFL playoffs and
he thought this finally would be the
year with the San Francisco 49ers.
But now the 49ers, preseason
favorites to win the NFC West, are on
the verge of missing the postseason
again as they head into Sunday’s game
against the Green Bay Packers.
For the 49ers, it would be an eighth
consecutive season without reaching
the playoffs. But for Spikes, a two-time
Pro Bowler, it would be a 13th consec-
utive year without playoffs.
Spikes is doing everything he can to
bring both those streaks to an end by
playing some of the best football of his
career.
“That’s why I’m still playing,”
Spikes said Thursday. “I want to play
until I get that ring. I think I’ve really
got into a groove and am playing some
of my best football right now. I feel I’ve
progressed and taken it to another
level.”
The San Francisco defense has gone
along with him. Sparked by Spikes’
interception and four tackles, the 49ers
had perhaps their top defensive per-
formance of the season during
Monday’s 27-6 win over the Arizona
Cardinals. The 49ers recorded a season
low for points allowed while giving up
just 203 total yards. The Cardinals fin-
ished with only 13 yards rushing, the
third-fewest San Francisco has allowed
in a game in franchise history.
That kind of performance has
become a trend for the 49ers. After a
lukewarm start, a unit that was expect-
ed to carry the team has climbed to 11th
in the NFL in total defense. San

Francisco ranks
eighth in the
league in rushing
defense and 10th
in fewest points
allowed.
The resurgent
play of Spikes,
who turns 34 on
Takeo Spikes Dec. 17, has been
instrumental in
the recent upswing. He had a season-
high 13 tackles two weeks ago against
Tampa Bay. He ranks second on the
team behind Patrick Willis with 74 total
tackles.
The 49ers appeared to be gradually
working third-round draft pick
NaVorro Bowman into the lineup in
place of Spikes earlier in the season, but
that transition has ceased. Spikes is an
every-down linebacker again.
“He’s kept on playing at a high level
week in and week out,” defensive coor-
dinator Greg Manusky said. “We’re
always counting on him to lead the
guys and it’s good to see him having
some success at inside linebacker. He’s
an older guy that’s busting his butt to
get to the playoffs.”
Spikes has come close only once
before in his 13 seasons with the 49ers,
Cincinnati Bengals, Buffalo Bills and
Philadelphia Eagles. But Buffalo lost
on the final day of the 2004 season
when a victory would have put the Bills
in the playoffs.
Spikes has been plugging away ever
since, and admits that before the season
began he had very high expectations
the 49ers would get there. Those hopes
remain with San Francisco winning
four of its past six games after a 0-5
start.

Sharks shut out Senators in Heatley’s return
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OTTAWA — Dany Heatley’s return to
Ottawa gave the NHL a hostile homecoming
of its own.
Logan Couture scored twice and Heatley
had an assist in his first game in Ottawa since
forcing the trade that sent him to San Jose,
leading the Sharks to a 4-0 victory over the
Senators on Thursday night.
Antti Niemi made 28 saves for his first

Patrick Marleau and Justin Braun scored
power-play goals on the Sharks’ first two
chances.
Heatley, who drew both Ottawa hooking
penalties that led to San Jose’s first two goals,

On the same night that NBA superstar
LeBron James was enduring the vitriol of his
former fans in his return to Cleveland, Heatley
was subjected to the scorn of his one-time
admirers in the Canadian capital.

James quickly made certain of one.
Miami outscored Cleveland 36-25 in the
third to open a 95-65 lead, prompting Heat
coach Erik Spoelstra to pull his superstar.
James spent the final 12 minutes as a spectator,
glancing at the scoreboard and into the stands
at so many familiar faces.
James remained defiant afterward, saying
he didn’t regret his decision to leave
Cleveland.
“I don’t want to apologize,” he said. “I think
my intentions were not to hurt anyone. My
intentions were solely on kids during that
whole process. I always say, decisions I make,
I live with them. There’s always ways you can

Braun got his first NHL goal when he beat
Leclaire with a wrist shot from the point at

ence to his final home game with the Cavs,
when he went just 3 of 14 and scored 15 in a
lopsided loss to Boston in last season’s Eastern
Conference semifinals.
James was the first player introduced, and as
he lined up for the national anthem, Cavs
owner Dan Gilbert was shown on the arena’s
giant scoreboard, drawing a raucous ovation.
In the hours after James’ infamous announce-
ment on a one-hour TV special dubbed “The
Decision,” Gilbert ripped him in an open letter
to Cavs fans and later accused the 25-year-old
of quitting during the playoffs the past two
seasons.
James looked up and noticed the ovation
was for Gilbert. He shook his head, tapped his
feet and turned to his new teammates, pump-
ing his fist as he told them something.

Vick rallies the Eagles
By Rob Maaddi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Michael Vick shook
off all the hard hits, continued to get up off the
ground and kept making plays.
Vick threw for 302 yards and accounted for
three touchdowns, rallying the Philadelphia
Eagles to a 34-24 victory over the Houston
Texans on Thursday night.
Vick was hurried, harassed and battered
throughout the game. But he never stayed down
despite taking a bunch of jarring hits, and
scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 2-yard
run.
It was the first time Vick led the Eagles (8-4)
back from a fourth-quarter deficit. They led 14-
3 in the first half before falling behind 24-20.
Matt Schaub had 337 yards passing and two
scores for the Texans (5-7). Andre Johnson had
149 yards receiving — four days after his hock-
ey-like fight with Tennessee’s Cortland
Finnegan.
The NFC East-leading Eagles were coming
off their first loss in a game that Vick started
and finished. He was 5-0 before a 31-26 loss at
Chicago.
Vick continued his remarkable comeback
story with another outstanding performance.
He completed 22 of 33 passes for two touch-
downs, and had his third 300-yard game. Vick,
a three-time Pro Bowl pick in six seasons with
Atlanta, only had two 300-yard games coming

into this year. He also ran for 48 yards and a
score.
After the Texans took their first lead in the
third quarter, the Eagles quickly answered.
Vick sneaked in from the 2 to put Philadelphia
ahead 27-24 early in the fourth. Vick’s 33-yard
pass to DeSean Jackson to the Texans 11 set up
the score.
Vick drove the Eagles 87 yards on their next
possession, and tossed a 5-yard TD pass to
Owen Schmitt to extend the lead to 34-24. He
celebrated with a side leap into coach Andy
Reid.
A 19-yard pass to Brent Celek on third-and-
19 kept that drive going. Celek was ruled
stopped short of the first down, but the Eagles
challenged the spot and replays showed he had
enough yards.
Houston came out strong in the second half.
Schaub tossed a 13-yard scoring pass to Arian
Foster to complete a 79-yard drive and get the
Texans within 20-17.
Then Houston’s defense made a big play.
Jason Allen intercepted Vick’s deep pass and
the Texans took over at their 14.
Vick’s streak of 240 consecutive passes with-
out an interception was snapped last week
when a tipped ball was picked near the goal
line.
The Texans marched downfield in 13 plays,
with Foster running in from the 3 to make it 24-
20. Schaub hit Johnson for 31 yards on third-
er, came at the buzzer.
Mission (0-3) saw its halftime lead steadily
diminish until halfway through the fourth
quarter, when Tolson hit a corner three to put
the Bears ahead 53-52. Menlo-Atherton
would not relinquish the lead the rest of the
way.
In addition to its 1-2 scoring punch of
Proulx and Tolson, the Bears got good pro-
duction out of forward Michael Culhane, who

Philadelphia’s Jorrick Calvin returned the
opening kickoff 102 yards, but a holding penal-
ty on Clay Harbor nullified the touchdown.
That was no problem for the Eagles. They
drove 88 yards and went ahead 7-0 on Vick’s 1-
yard TD pass to LeSean McCoy.
Vick connected with Jackson for 30 yards on
the first play from scrimmage, and was 7 of 8
for 89 yards on the drive.
Jackson had two catches against the Bears,
and was unhappy with his lack of production.
He answered with three receptions for 84
yards.
McCoy ran in from the 4 on the next series,
putting Philadelphia ahead 14-3. Vick scrambled
10 yards on third-and-8 to keep the drive going.
The Texans finally stopped the Eagles on
their third possession — sort of. David Akers
kicked a 36-yard field goal to make it 17-3.
Schaub then tossed an 8-yard touchdown
pass to Jacoby Jones to cut it to 17-10. He con-
nected with Johnson for a 42-yard gain to the
Eagles 11 two plays earlier. Johnson had just
returned after going to the locker room.
Late in the second quarter, Schaub made an
errant toss that was intercepted by defensive
lineman Trevor Laws and returned to the
Texans 18. Laws fumbled, but the Eagles
recovered.
Philadelphia wasted the field position. Jason
Avant and Celek each dropped what should’ve
been touchdowns, and the Eagles settled for a
22-yarder by Akers for a 20-10 lead.
finished with eight points and seven rebounds.
With the season still in its early stages, both
the Bears’ players and coach are still finding
their way, but the group is optimistic.
“It’s a been a whirlwind, because I’m learn-
ing so much,” Carey said. “Being responsible
for 15 young men, or molding them to become
young men, it’s been a joy.
“It’s a work in progress, but we’re trying to
mold them into something special.”

won today. This was not about merit, this was
about money,” former U.S. national team star
Eric Wynalda said in a telephone interview with
The Associated Press. Qatar “is a country that is
really going to struggle to host this event. A suc-
cessful World Cup would mean the attendance
would be twice the population.”
Qatar, which has never even qualified for a
World Cup, used its 30-minute presentation to
underline how the tournament could unify a
region ravaged by conflict. Presenters also prom-
ised to dismantle the stadiums built for the tour-
nament and give them to needy nations.
The nation promised to spend $50 billion on
infrastructure upgrades and $4 billion to build
nine stadiums and renovate three others. One
advantage of the having the tournament in a small
country: The stadiums will all be within an hour
of each other.
Qataris and others — including workers from
south Asia — immediately started dancing in the
streets along Doha’s Gulf waterfront. Some blew
the vuvuzelas that became synonymous with the
World Cup in South Africa.
FIFA’s inspection report highlighted a danger
posted by heat — the average high in late June is
106 degrees. Qatar said the World Cup thrived
despite heat during tournaments in Mexico in
1970 and 1986, and the U.S. in 1994.
“On behalf of millions of people living in the
Middle East, thank you,” Qatar bid chair Sheikh
Mohammad bin Hamad Al-Thani said. “Thank
you for believing in us, thank you for having such
bold vision. ... Thank you also for acknowledging
this is the right time for the Middle East. We have
a date with history which is summer 2022.”
Bid chief executive Hassan al-Thawadi prom-
ised Israel would be allowed to participate if it
qualifies.
“We are a very, very hospitable place that wel-
comes people from all parts of the world,” he
said. “Bringing the World Cup to the Middle East
now ... will showcase to the world that the Middle
East is home to a lot of people, it’s opening its
arms to the rest of the world. In doing so, such
misconceptions will be dissolved.”

There was none of this in the Leaf. Without
the engine heft in front, the Leaf’s weight felt
better balanced. The car was nimble and fit
easily into parking spaces.

President Barack Obama for his signature, the
Federal Communications Commission would
be required within one year to adopt industry
standards that coordinate ad decibel levels to
those of the regular program. The new regula-

including cable and satellite, would go into
effect a year after that.
“Every American has likely experienced the
frustration of abrasively loud television com-
mercials,” the Senate sponsor of the bill, Sen.
Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., said when the
Senate approved it in September. “While this
may be an effective way for ads to grab atten-
tion, it also adds unnecessary stress to the daily
lives of many Americans.”
“It’s not like the consumer has any choices,”
said Mark Cooper, director of research at the
Consumer Federation of America. “It’s a case
where it’s very difficult for consumers to
express their sovereignty.”
The FCC has been receiving complaints
from consumers since the 1960s about jarring
The 80-kilowatt AC electric motor gener-
ates 107 horsepower — more than the Prius
has.
Torque is an impressive 207 foot-pounds,
and since it’s all electric, it comes on fast,
smoothly and steadily. I beat everyone away
from stoplights — and in stealthy silence.
The steering is electric, but it didn’t have
too much of an artificial feeling.
It was the brake pedal that took a bit of get-
ting used to; it managed the regenerative
brakes and stopped the car in the process.
The Leaf gear shifter also isn’t a lever as
much as it is a squat blob in the center con-
sole.
Seats have a decidedly thick foam feel, and
the steeply raked windshield and uncluttered
sound bursts when commercials come on, but
the commission currently does not regulate
program or commercial volume. Instead, it
reminds viewers that newer TVs come
equipped with circuits designed to stabilize
volume differences or advises people that one
solution is still to make aggressive use of the
mute button on the remote.
The legislation would force the industry to
abide by its own recommendations for audio
standards as devised a year ago by the
Advanced Television Systems Committee, an
organization of broadcasters.
Dick O’Brien, director of government rela-
tions at the American Association of
Advertising Agencies, said his group supports
the bill because “we fully understand that
advertising works best when it engages con-
sumers, not alienates them.”
He said enforcing volume control

Nissan says the maximum feasible range for
the fully charged leaf is about 130 miles; I
never matched that with normal driving.
Normally, Nissan says, it takes seven hours to
fully charge the car with a 240-volt system.
I didn’t have the 240-volt charge system for
the test drive. I also didn’t have the optional
quick charge port, which allows for the bat-
tery to charge to 80 percent of capacity in a
half hour.
So, I plugged the Leaf into a regular, 120-

Eshoo said there will be a “noticeable differ-
ence” in noise levels once the law goes into
effect. It’s a small bill in the greater scheme of
things, she said, but “it will bring relief to mil-
lions of television viewers.”
Managing the transition poses some techni-
cal challenges because the shows and ads come
from a variety of sources, and may require TV
broadcasters to purchase new equipment.
The legislation does give the FCC authority
to issue waivers to broadcasters for hardship or
other reasons.
One reason commercials may sound louder
is a sound compression technique in which the
difference between loud and soft sounds is
compressed. The result is that while the peak
sound levels of commercials and programs
may not differ, the average levels of commer-
cials are higher.

connection that plugged into the front of the
car, above the bumper. With about 40 miles
left, I’d plug it in overnight. By morning, the
Leaf would be 90 percent charged.
All too aware of the limited range and the
fact that there was only one other compatible
charging station in my area, I watched the
mileage like a hawk. I planned combined trips
so I wouldn’t need to sit at home and wait for
the car to recharge.
One busy day, I asked a friend if I could
plug in at her home while we ate dinner,
because I worried about running low on
power. But then I realized I didn’t have the
cord with me, and she admitted later she
wouldn’t be thrilled to power up my car on a
regular basis, adding to her electric bill.

A memoir of
growing up
in N.Y.society
By Laura Impellizzeri
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

“A Voice From Old New York: A Memoir of

My Youth” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $25),
by Louis Auchincloss: A prolific chronicler of
New York’s high society in more than 60 novels,
short story collections and nonfiction works,
Louis Auchincloss concluded his career with a
slim memoir.
“A Voice From Old New York” addresses his
own youth among the city’s richest and most
connected resi-
dents with the
same detached
amusement and
keen observa-
tions of his previ-
ous work.
His voice
remains both
charmingly and
disarmingly
familiar — but
elegant and easy
to read. The
quick disdain
that one expects
from a writer steeped in and fascinated by
wealth and privilege is certainly here, as when
Auchincloss dismisses modern collegians with
a wave across his keyboard: “It was a pity that
none of my students in the three years I taught
at NYU seemed to have any real conception of
the beautiful language that was theirs.”

A gorgeous nightmare
And, for anyone who doubts that rich New
Yorkers live and often see themselves as a breed
apart, there’s ample proof in this evocative vol-
ume. Auchincloss is clear and direct about high
society’s position outside the mainstream.
“In a way, we were privileged guests of New
York; we knew no more of the West Side world By Christy Lemire brought to his Oscar-nominated But then the director mixes in a

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE ‘UM
By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
The Curious George books are a delightful
staple of a child’s library, but San Francisco’s
Contemporary Jewish Museum presents a
more serious look at a dramatic story of escape
and survival with “Curious George Saves the
Day: The Art of Margret and H. A. Rey.”
This exhibition of nearly 80 original draw-
ings reveals that Curious George, the impish
monkey protagonist of many adventures,
might never have seen the light of day were it
not for the determination and courage of his
creators, illustrator H. A. Rey and his wife,
author and artist Margret Rey. They were both
born to Jewish families in Hamburg, Germany
and lived together in Paris from 1936 to 1940.
Hours before the Nazis marched into the city
in June 1940, the Reys fled on bicycles, carry-
ing drawings for their children’s stories,
including one about a mischievous monkey,
then named Fifi. Not only did the Reys save
their animal characters, but they were saved by
their illustrations when authorities found them
in their belongings. This may explain why sav-

ing the day after a narrow escape became the
premise of most of their Curious George sto-
ries.
After their fateful escape from Paris and a
four-month journey across France, Spain,
Portugal and Brazil, the couple settled in New
York in the fall of 1940. In all, the Reys
authored and illustrated over 30 books, most of
them for children, with seven of them starring
Curious George. Seventy years after the arrival

of Curious George in America, the monkey’s
antics have been translated into over a dozen
languages, including Hebrew and Yiddish, to
the delight of readers, young and old, around
the world.
“This wonderful exhibition has something
for all ages,” said Connie Wolf, Director and
CEO of the Contemporary Jewish Museum.
“Children will love seeing and learning about
their favorite storybook monkey, and adults
will be fascinated by the Reys’ personal story
of escape and survival. Art was what saved
them and allowed them to rebuild their lives.
There’s quite a powerful narrative behind one
little inquisitive monkey.”

tender, but it appeared last week among the
five most irresistible guilty-pleasure movies. It
is tempting to find a reason to talk about
“Showgirls” every week, though...
• “Mulholland Dr.” (2001): The first inti-
mate encounter between Naomi Watts and
Laura Elena Harring is soft and sweet ... but
because this is a David Lynch movie, natural-
ly the relationship between these two women
becomes darker and more complicated. Watts,
as aspiring starlet Betty Elms (at this point in
the film, at least), gets tangled up with
Harring’s gorgeous amnesiac Rita. As the two
embark on an adventure, playing girl-detec-
tive to solve the mystery of Rita’s past, their
fear and loneliness lead to a kiss which leads
to one of the loveliest lesbian scenes ever
filmed. In a movie full of twists, this is a rare
moment of pure, instinctive emotion.
• “Wild Things” (1998): It starts out as a
face-slapping, hair-pulling cat fight in a swim-
ming pool and ends up in a make-out session,
complete with bikinis and T-shirts being
tossed aside with sultry music in the back-
ground. Denise Richards plays the naughty
rich girl and Neve Campbell plays the naughty
poor girl; despite coming from opposite sides
of the tracks, they manage to get together to
concoct some rape accusations against their
high school guidance counselor (Matt Dillon).
The fact that this takes place in South Florida
makes the whole movie feel even more steamy
and tawdry. “Wild Things” easily could have
made last week’s guilty-pleasure list, too. It’s
so multipurpose.
• “Bound” (1996): Before The Wachowski
Brothers entered the Matrix, the writing-
directing duo made their debut with this
funny, tense and sexy neo-noir. Jennifer Tilly
plays Violet, the seemingly ditzy girlfriend of
a mobster; Gina Gershon plays Corky, the
maintenance woman in their apartment build-
ing who just got out of prison. Violet’s attrac-
tion to Corky is instantaneous, and eventually
the two cook up a scheme to steal $2 million
in stashed cash from Violet’s boyfriend. A
ridiculous amount of contrived meetings and
flirting leads to an intense — but artfully pho-
tographed — love scene between the two
women.
• “D.E.B.S.” (2004): As if it weren’t enough
to have a bunch of beautiful, teenage spies
dressed in naughty schoolgirl outfits, their
leader (Sara Foster) ends up secretly falling
for the deadly criminal (Jordana Brewster)
who is their primary target. Writer-director
Angela Robinson’s film isn’t exactly great
cinema but it also doesn’t take itself too seri-
ously, and features plenty of fun, cheeky
moments. (Its tagline: “They’re crime-fighting
hotties with killer bodies.”) That’s indeed true
of Foster and Brewster, who share a few kiss-
es and teasing moments before their eventual
playful and passionate hook-up.
• “Cruel Intentions” (1999): The most
chaste of the five on this list, but it did earn
Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair the
highly coveted “Best Kiss” prize at the MTV
Movie Awards. In this prep-school version of
“Dangerous Liaisons,” Gellar functions in the
Glenn Close role as a conniving and manipu-
lative rich girl who dominates Manhattan’s
Upper East Side. Blair is in the Uma Thurman
role as a malleable innocent. Since Blair’s
character has never kissed a boy before,
Gellar’s teaches her what to do during a picnic
in Central Park: “I’m gonna stick my tongue
in your mouth, and when I do that I want you
to massage my tongue with yours.” It all
sounds pretty straightforward.

A sophisticated breakfast for dinner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
There are those nights when breakfast is
the only way dinner is going to get on the
table.
But that doesn’t doom you to a bowl of
cold cereal in front of the television. There
are plenty of easy ways
to add a dinner-like
sophistication — or at
least satisfaction — to
your breakfast staples.
And that was the inspi-

toast.
I started with a thick
slab of sourdough pan-
toasted in butter. If you
J.M. HIRSCH insist, you could cut the
fat by using olive oil
cooking spray in the pan instead. Then I
added an egg to the pan and a slab of brie to
the bread. When the egg was cooked, but the
yolk was still a bit runny, I placed it on top
of the brie.
And I called it dinner. And it was scrump-
tious in an almost disturbingly good way.

it, then return it to the oven until the eggs are

Friday, Dec. 3, 2010
Your social life is likely to take on new meanings and dimen-
sions in the coming months, after you develop several new
groups of friends. Each intimate circle will be unique, with
you having special pals in each.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - If you expect your
friends to do things that you won’t, you’re likely to be sadly
mistaken. You need to be prepared to set an example if you
want to play the leadership role.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Be extremely careful not
to inadvertently disregard the trust of another and talk out of
turn. You would violate the confidence s/he placed in you if
you run off at the mouth.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Don’t be unduly influenced
by materialistic things or think others will be measuring your
worth by what you have. They will be weighing your worth
by who you are.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Think very carefully before
you act, because a lack of self-discipline could cause you
problems and put your successes in jeopardy. Be neither
impulsive nor erratic.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Try to figure things out for
yourself, because even though others may be well-inten-
tioned, it doesn’t mean they know what is best for you. In
fact, they might even make things worse.
disadvantages. If negative features outweigh the positive, you
might want to pass on it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Your quick mind has a tendency
at times to jump to conclusions before you’ve studied every-
thing at hand. Wait until you have all the facts before making
a judgment call.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Even though you may be
extremely industrious, you still might not be able to accom-
plish all of the jobs you intended to complete. The culprit
could simply be poor planning.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - When you want to be, you are pretty
easy to get along with, yet the very same people whom you
usually accept might rub you the wrong way. You may forgive
and forget, but they won’t.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - It only makes you look bad if you
are too proud to make changes when someone else’s ideas
are better. Place the importance on the final product and not
on who authored what.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - You are asking for trouble if you
can’t wait for an experienced person to show you how to
operate some unfamiliar equipment. The end results could be
bad if you attempt to work in the dark.
Previous
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - A pleasant day with friends
could quickly turn into a nasty time if you allow money to Sudoku
become an issue. Let each pay his/her own way rather than

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Before you submit yourself
