Education funding is hanging on an if if voters support new taxes in November, funding will be mostly maintained. On Thursday, Gov. Jerry Brown released his proposed budget for
2012-13 which was fairly supportive of education funding. Schools were spared for the most part, however, that plan is contingent on the implementation of a $7 billion tax plan. Without the increased taxes, schools will take a $4.8 million hit in November. Aside from the possi-

Organizers of the big-wave surng competition at Mavericks opened this years contest window with a ceremony at the famed break on Friday afternoon.Swells hitting the San Mateo County coast this week gave the 24 Mavericks Invitational competitors a chance to practice surng in big wave conditions.The contest window, which in years past has opened at the beginning of December, was delayed this year due to lack of waves,according to organizers. The 24 big-wave surfers who were selected from around the world to participate in the competition as well as 17 alternates came to the Opening Ceremony for the traditional Paddle Out. The beach ceremony was followed by a Hawaiian tradition,in which surfers paddle out toward the break and form a prayer circle to show respect for fellow surfers,commemorate the event and pay tribute to surfers who have died. Tickets to the festival start at $25 and go as high as $1,000 for VIP packages, which include viewing the contest from a boat and a guaranteed seating at the awards ceremony.Tickets can be purchased online at www.mavericksinvitational.com.

SACRAMENTO The attempt to block a California law that allows public nancial aid for college students who are in the country illegally has failed to collect enough signatures to qualify for the ballot, the leading proponent said Friday. Opponents fell short by about
57,000 signatures, said state Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, who led the repeal effort. They needed more than 500,000 registered voter signatures to try to overturn the law. When the law takes effect next year, it will allow illegal immigrants to apply for state-funded college scholarships and aid at public universities. A second portion of

Nation adds 200,000 jobs in December hiring surge

2011 job hopes improved most for worst-hit groups
By Derek Kravitz
WASHINGTON For many people whose job prospects faded most during the recession, 2011 brought a small dose of relief. When unemployment was surging, the youngest U.S. workers, the oldest, those without college degrees and men as a whole all suffered disproportionately. Last year, those groups whose unemployment rates still exceed the national average had better success than others in nding jobs, according to Labor Department data released Friday. Many found low-paying jobs in technology rms and as health
care technicians, machinists, autoworkers, hotel and store clerks and waiters. A big exception was African Americans, who were especially hard hit by the recession. Their unemployment rate didnt budge in 2011. All told, about 13.1 million Americans remain unemployed. About 2.5 million have quit looking for work altogether. The proportion of American adults who have jobs has risen slightly over the past year, to 58.5 percent. But thats down from 59.4 percent in June 2009, when the recession officially ended, and from 63.4 percent five years ago.
WASHINGTON Four painful years after the Great Recession struck and wiped out 8.7 million jobs, the United States may nally be in an elusive pattern known as a virtuous cycle an escalating loop of hiring and spending. The nation added 200,000 jobs in December in a burst of hiring that drove the unemployment rate down two notches to 8.5 percent, its lowest in almost three years, and led economists to conclude that the improvement in the job market might just last. There is more horsepower to this economy than most believe, said Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at California State University, Channel Islands. The stars are aligned right for a meaningful economic recovery. It was the sixth month in a row that the economy added at least 100,000 jobs, the longest streak since 2006.
There is more horsepower to this economy than most believe....The stars are aligned right for a meaningful economic recovery.
Sung Won Sohn,an economics professor at California State University
The economy added jobs every month last year, the rst time that has happened since 2005. And the unemployment rate, which peaked at 10 percent in October 2009 and stood at 9.1 percent in August, has fallen four months straight. It was 8.7 percent in November. If economics textbooks and the best hopes of millions of unemployed Americans are conrmed, the virtuous cycle may be under way, which would suggest the job market will continue to strengthen. When people are hired, they have more money to spend. The means greater demand for goods and services and results in businesses hiring even more people. That results in even more spending and leads to even more hiring. That would be the reverse of the
vicious cycle that took hold during the Great Recession. People lost jobs and spent less, so businesses rang up less sales and were forced to lay off more people. That led to even less spending and more layoffs. The labor market is healing, said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial. She cautioned that we still have a long way to go years to recoup the losses we have endured. Indeed, the economy added 1.6 million jobs for all of 2011. That is better than the 940,000 added during 2010. In 2009, the most bruising year of the Great Recession, the nation lost more than 5 million. But it will take 6 million more jobs to get the United States back to what it had in December 2007, when the recession began.

The Lexus did not come to a stop until it had hit the back wall of the building, according to police. The woman was taken to a hospital to be treated for injuries suffered in the crash. She is expected to survive, police said. No one else was injured in the collision. The building sustained major damage in the crash and will be boarded up pending repairs.

Man arrested for shooting woman in hand Christmas Eve
A man was arrested Thursday afternoon on suspicion of shooting a woman in the hand in East Palo Alto on Christmas Eve, police said. Donnie Weatherton, 61, was arrested in connection with the shooting, which was reported at about 10:10 a.m. on Dec. 24 in the 900 block of Tinsley Street, according to police.

Weatherton was arrested outside of his apartment at 2:38 p.m. Thursday and ofcers recovered a small handgun. Ofcers also recovered another handgun and rifle inside his apartment, according to police.

CITY GOVERNMENT
The Redwood City Council will consider a 7.81 percent rate increase for solid waste and recycling effective Jan. 10. The city said the increase, similar to those in other cities belonging to the South Bayside Waste Management Authority, is due to the new service provider, a 30 percent increase in residential recycling and opening of the Shoreway Environmental Center. If the council does not improve the increase, the city may need to subsidize payments to comply with its contract. The council could also delay the increase but it may create the need for a greater increase in the future. The City Council meets 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 9 at City Hall, 1017 Middleeld Road, Redwood City. The Redwood City Planning Commission will hold a special meeting to consider the planned community permit for a seven-story, 116-unit multi-family residential development at 201 Marshall St. The plan calls for removing the existing two-story ofce building and replacing it with a building containing 116 apartments, three levels of parking, a tness center, leasing ofce, resident lounge and lobby. The parcel is 30,626 square feet boarded by Marshall, Arguello and Bradford streets. The Planning Commission meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 10 at City Hall, 600 Elm St., Redwood City.
COUNTY GOVERNMENT
The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors will hold its annual reorganization prior to the years rst meeting. Although there is no requirement the current vice president be named the board president, the assumption is that Supervisor Adrienne Tissier will succeed Carole Groom in the position. At the same meeting, the board will consider a Probation Department request to increase fees for adult supervision, pre-sentence investigations/reports, adult drug testing and the care and maintenance of juveniles.

Amid cuts,Gov.still dreaming

By Juliet Williams and Jason Dearen
SACRAMENTO While most other states are limiting expectations as they try to recover from the recession, Gov. Jerry Brown is dreaming of a bright future for his native California. Even as he prepares for another year of budget cuts, Brown is bucking national conventional wisdom by proposing spending on the types of long-term projects most other governors and state legislatures are shunning. The 73-year-old Democrat, in his second stint in the governors ofce, has said he intends to plan for Californias future even as the state tries to right its economy and limit spending on basic programs such as health
care for the needy, social services and higher education. The budget proposal for the 2012-13 scal year that he released on Thursday commits seed money to a number of expensive projects that he hopes will Jerry Brown guide California in the decades to come. The amounts are relatively small but provide down payments for initiatives he said are essential to keeping California desirable. The allocations underscore Browns support for a $98 billion high-speed rail line that has been heavily criticized for its ballooning price tag and an array of alternative energy projects he hopes will lead to a cleaner environment
and so-called green jobs. Despite the worst economy in modern times, the Democrat once mocked as Governor Moonbeam for proposing communication satellites in space is asking state lawmakers to support bold moves that live up to Californias history of innovation. Critics question whether California can afford the projects in the years ahead. This is a strong, condent investment in the future of California, Brown said in releasing his budget plan. There are a few people, some of them who are hankering after life in Texas, who call California a failed state. But we are the innovative state. Were the state of Apple computer, of Facebook, of HewlettPackard, Hollywood, stem cell research, international trade, diversity. This is a state thats dynamic, its creative, and its prosperous.

DALLAS A Texas teenager who was deported to Colombia after claiming to be an illegal immigrant was back in the United States on Friday and at the center of an international mystery over how a minor could be sent to a country where she is not a citizen. The 15-year-olds family has questioned why U.S. officials didnt do Jakadrien more to verify her identity Turner and say she is not uent in Spanish and had no ties to Colombia. While many facts of the case involving Jakadrien Lorece Turner remain unclear, U.S. and Colombian ofcials have pointed ngers over who is responsible. Immigration experts say that while cases of mistaken identity are rare, people can slip through the cracks, especially if they dont have legal help or family members working on their behalf. But they say U.S. immigration authorities had the responsibility to determine if a person is a citizen.

SAN FRANCISCO A California lawmaker pleaded no contest Friday to stealing leather pants and other merchandise from a Neiman Marcus store in an incident her attorney blamed on a benign brain tumor. Assemblywoman Mary Hayashi entered the plea in San Francisco Superior Court after the judge reduced a theft charge against her from a felony to a misdemeanor at a prosecutors request. Hayashi was arrested on Oct. 23 after surveillance cameras at the store at Union Square showed her walking out the doors with unpaid merchandise in her shopping bag. She
was accused of stealing nearly $2,500 worth of clothing. After the plea, Judge Gerardo Sandoval immediately sentenced Hayashi to three years of probation, ordered her to pay $180 in nes and court costs, and told her to stay at least 50 feet away from the Neiman Marcus store. Shortly after her arrest, a spokesman for Hayashi had explained that she was distracted by a cellphone call and forgot to pay for the merchandise. Hayashi declined to speak to reporters after Fridays court hearing, but her attorney, Dennis Rappaport, said Hayashi was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor that contributed to the shoplifting incident.
One arrested in Burger King shooting

A 35-year-old Hayward resident was arrested Thursday afternoon in connection to a shooting in a Redwood City parking lot last month. Redwood City police arrested Frank Dryden in unincorporated Hayward Thursday. Dryden was identied as the possible shooter in a December shooting. Dryden was arrested for attempted murder and booked into the Alameda County Jail. Just before 7 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4, Redwood City police responded to a report of a shooting victim in the lobby of the Burger King restaurant at 2201 Middleeld Road. Once on scene,
ofcers found a 32-year-old male on the oor suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. While helping the victim, a second shooting victim, a 29-year-old man, contacted police. Sgt. Sean Hart previously said it appeared to have been an attempted robbery against the two victims which took place in an overow parking lot near Burger King. Hart added it doesnt appear that the incident was gang related. Witnesses said the suspects ed on foot to a nearby white Buick with tinted windows. Two people were originally sought in connection to the shooting. Hart said police still believe two suspects were involved and are trying to identify the second.
Blackwater suit ends seven years after Fallujah deaths

RALEIGH, N.C. Days after the last U.S. troops left Iraq, a federal appeals court ended a lawsuit over an episode that produced one of the more disturbing images of the war: the grisly killings of four Blackwater security contractors and the hanging of a pair of their bodies from a bridge in Fallujah.

All but conceding N.H.,Romneys rivals look to S.C.

By David Espo and Philip Elliott
MANCHESTER, N.H. Mitt Romneys rivals are all but conceding defeat in next Tuesdays New Hampshire primary, looking past a weekend debate doubleheader in the Granite State and focusing on South Carolina as their best chance to slow his march to the Republican presidential nomination. Romney campaigned in both states on Friday, prominent party leaders by his side, President Barack Obama on his mind. Giving no ground when the government reported the creation of 200,000 new jobs in December, Romney said America deserves better than the economic results Obama has delivered. Thirty-five consecutive months of unemployment above 8 percent is no cause for celebration, he said in a written statement. Republican rivals Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich were no more inclined to applaud Obama for the drop in unemployment to its lowest level in nearly three years. But they had other worries, including a new survey that suggested Romneys narrow victory this week in Iowas caucuses has sent his support soaring in South Carolina. The three men share a debate stage Saturday night and again Sunday morning with the other three surviving contenders, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, Texas Gov., Rick Perry and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman. Ordinarily, the week between lead-off Iowa and New Hampshire is one of the most intense of the entire president campaign. That hasnt been as true this year in New Hampshire, given Romneys four years as governor of nextdoor Massachusetts, his numerous campaign trips here and the reaffirming victory in Iowa. With only three days remaining until the first-in-the-nation primary, television advertising was relatively modest, with Paul, Romney and a committee supporting Huntsman the only entities spending significant sums. Gingrich has been talking of merely holding Romneys winning total under 50 percent in New Hampshire, and Paul, arriving in

Audience members listen to Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney speak at the Tilton School in Tilton,N.H.
the state on Friday, focused his criticism on Santorum. He brags about being for a balanced budget amendment but never did anything about it, Paul said of Santorums time in the U.S. Senate. He voted four or five times to raise the debt ceiling. He voted to double the size of the Department of Education. Campaigning in Concord, Huntsman was asked whether the other candidates had clawed their way to the right, leaving him as the centrist in the race. He called himself a realist. We have to draw from ideas that are doable and not so outlandishly stupid that they create a lot of political infighting and finger-pointing and never, ever in 1,000 years are going to get done, he said. Perry unveiled a new commercial for stations in South Carolina, as did a group that backs Santorum. Perrys stresses his upbringing as the son of tenant farmers and mentions his time as a pilot in the Air force, years working on the family farm with his father and his marriage to his high school sweetheart. The values I learned served me well as governor of Texas and will continue to guide me as president, the ad says. The pro-Santorum spot calls the former Pennsylvania senator the principled conservative ... the conservative we can trust. That was a relatively polite attempt to distinguish Santorum from Gingrich, Perry and the others vying to emerge as Romneys chief rival, and from the former Massachusetts governor as well. Santorum himself was more blunt. The only way Republicans lose is if we screw this up and nominate another moderate who has taken multiple positions on every major issue of our time, he wrote supporters in a fundraising appeal. The former senator finished a surprisingly strong second in the Iowa caucuses, coming within eight votes of victory. But he has little time to try and convert that into a campaign organization in New Hampshire, and some of his campaign events have turned testy. In a school auditorium in Dublin on Friday, he faced tough questions about his positions on contraception, gays and lesbians in the military and earmarks in
the federal budget. I know some people have been hammering away at me as an irresponsible spender, he said. The idea that because someone earmarked, that means theyre an Irresponsible spender is just absurd. He blamed Sen. John McCain, a Romney supporter, for stirring up controversy over earmarks, the designation of federal spending for specific uses or projects. And he said the Arizona senator ran to the hills when it came to the issue of making changes in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. McCain paid him no mind. Earmarks are the gateway to corruption, he said in Conway, S.C., as he and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley campaigned with Romney. Rick Santorum sponsored earmark after earmark. McCain told the crowd that South Carolina Republicans have the ability to settle the nomination race. If Mitt Romney wins here, he will be the next president of the United States, he said. Obama and the Democrats will test that proposition, strenuously. But there was little dispute that a victory by Romney in the first-inthe-South primary, in a state with a strong evangelical vote, would make it difficult for his Republican rivals to stop him from winning the partys nomination. Nor was McCain his only wellknown ally in the state. South Carolina Gov. Haley, elected a year ago with the support of tea party activists, has endorsed Romney and is a constant presence as he campaigns. Still, South Carolinas Republican primaries have an intensity that gives way to viciousness at times, and Haley was at pains to say that Romneys Mormon religion would not be a barrier. This is a state that elected a 38year-old Indian female, she said of herself. A TIME/CNN/ORC poll was a sobering one for Romneys rivals. It showed the former Massachusetts governor with 37 percent support in the state, a 17point gain since early December. Santorum was at 19 percent, a 15point surge, and in a statistical tie with Gingrich, who had plummeted from 43 percent support.
Laser for Toenail Fungus?

What is Toenail Fungus?
Toenail fungus is an infection by a fungal organism which slowly rots away healthy toenails. Left untreated, it can affect your healthy toenails as well as cause a skin infection better known as athletes feet. Affecting men, women and children, its often an embarrassing problem which can lead to physical pain as the infected toenails thicken making it uncomfortable to wear shoes. Infected toenails often appeared discolored, mis-shapened, thick, brittle and difcult to trim.
What Kind of Treatments are Available?

Most patients attempt to resolve their fungus problem using drugstore topical liquids and cream. But due to the location of the infection under the nail plate, topical medication cant reach the infecting organism. Combining methods have been found to be the most effective; utilizing medication, in-ofce partial nail removal if needed and advanced laser therapy.
How is the laser used?

A laser using a specic wavelength of light produces sufcient heat to destroy the fungus under the nail with minimum discomfort and without damage to the surrounding skin. The laser energy is applied via multiple treatment sessions to promote the growth of clear nail without fungal infection. Properly performed, this is a highly effective, safe treatment and improvement is usually noted in 3 to 9 months with growth of clear nails.

OPINION
Competition has been stied in recent years, and, ironically, by the very people who claim to support it. Conservatives contend that deregulation encourages free enterprise. True only to a point, for their idea of deregulation also fosters monopoly. With a wink and a nod, businesses too big to fail are granted entitlements in the form of concessions, immunities and, after multimillions spent on lobbyists, the permission to steal. The purpose of regulation is not to counter greed by imposing moral or ethical standards. It is to allow real talent the fair chance to compete and prosper. But tweaking the laws to allow big businesses to be more protable, and their CEOs richer, is counterproductive to free enterprise. As prots soar within these institutions, so grows the insatiable monomania for power, and the wrongs that follow. Evidence that many large corporations are no longer competitive lies simply in the numbers. Tens of millions paid in compensations indicates that they have succeeded in eliminating the competitive threat. When a business becomes a monopoly, penned Ambrose Bierce, it ceases to be a business. From the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th, there was a wide divergence between rich and poor, primarily because big business had found political ways around the competitive issue (i.e., the robber barons, Standard Oil, etc.). This is where the other major factor comes in trade unions. Its positive effect on society should not be underestimated. Conservatives believe it to be a force for socialism, yet the ability to collectively bargain proved it to be its own competitive force. By putting workers on an equal footing with management, with each side attempting to exploit situations to its own favor, a counter-balancing effect developed that both stimulated the economy and offset the excesses. This compromise through conict between interdependent factions elevated everyones wealth to the point where we did have, at one time, the worlds
The other sides

highest percentage of middle class citizens. But now the total number of union workers has become as negligible as the disappearing middle class. The far right (motto: work shall set you free) believes big business is the prime provider of job creation. In reality, they are a major cause of job losses. We would be embarking on an ominous, draconian path toward a Third World economy if we were to follow their lead. On the other side, the far left concentrates on the struggling underpaid worker who nds himself humiliated by the conceited elite. Forced to be grateful for crumbs, he becomes part of the resentful poor, and all the radical solutions that evolve from it. They too are equally misguided. Taxing the rich and redistributing the wealth through intrusive governmental controls is a death blow to that which elevated this country above all others: incentive and innovation. Sure, wed all like to see more than a few of those nancial fat cats get what they deserve; but we must not confuse retribution with legislation. The point is that people can be led, easily, to one extreme or the other, but they are extreme only as differentiated from the moderate, not each other. These extremes do not occupy opposite ends of a linear left and right line as is so commonly visualized; it is more of a circle in which the extreme ends meet, thus making the moderate side the true opposite. Proposals for resolving the economic crisis become ever more emotional and strident as the severity of the crisis escalates. Eventually, even the thoughtful nd themselves compelled toward one extreme or the other. Thats when entrenchment sets in, and animosity and simplistic posturing expands beyond logic and where the onetime voice of moderation becomes nothing more than a distant whisper.
Kent Lauder is a retired plumbing contractor and longtime resident of Burlingame.
uring times of economic stress, certain elements in society will adopt corrective measures that may be extreme, in an attempt to remedy the condition toward their own preconceived ideals. After President Obamas election in 08 and his promise of change, the Tea Party Movement was formed to counter that potential change. So too with the growth of the multi-directional Occupy Whatever movement, formed to protest the growing diversity between the rich and middle class. The far right wants to cut expenditures at any cost; the far left to redistribute wealth directly. Both are radical and irresponsible. The Occupy group consists of a diverse array of people, from the responsibly concerned to those out to air their own self-importance. While it is easy to ridicule the extremists, the popularity and persistence of this rebellious movement is an indication of an economy in trouble. The American system of governance has been the most successful in the world, primarily because it has afforded opportunities to those with drive, inventiveness and the willingness for hard work. With that opportunity came an element inherent throughout human affairs: Conict. The assumption is that people are self-serving, and thus only countering forces can limit any one element from gaining dominance. The most effective countering force, and thus a limiting factor to excess, is competition. Ironically, it proved to be the fairest method to spread wealth. Competition can only arise in a market free and open to opportunity. Laws and their enforcement are the only way to ensure competitive fairness. While ostensibly delegated to act as referee in assuring a fair playing eld, our lawmakers fail in their duty with their often too cozy relationships with the big shots, i.e.: Wall Street, big banks and large corporations. In a well-regulated society, any business making excessive prots has always been an enticement for others to enter that occupation. If prots get waylaid into managements pockets rather than invested back into that business, it becomes an open door for competition.
Letter to the editor

Simple way to pull the plug on HSR
Editor, Regarding the article Burlingame calls to stop high-speed rail in the Jan. 5 edition of the Daily Journal, there is a simple and inexpensive way: in the June 5 primary, vote for any candidate who advocates pulling the plug and watch for the stampede in Sacramento to put up a proposition to repeal Proposition 1A between the June primary and the deciding election in November (Yes, there will be a run-off, even if one candidate receives more than 50 percent in June; you can change your vote in November if you wish). The politicians in Sacramento are only scared of one thing a voter revolt. So let them have it.

hose America is the real one, anyway? The United States is not what it used to be when its Constitution was written in 1787, for a nation of only 4 million, mostly of English decent, mostly white and 95 percent farmers and plantation owners. Far, far from it! Today, farming engages only 4 percent of the population. The rest is in bluecollar manufacturing, white-collar ofce workers, business-suited executives and a massive yearning for inclusion among our broadly diverse world of ethnicity and race in a population of more than 300 million. When protesters talk about bringing back our America, which one are they talking about and when in our history? Most of the early white Anglo purity has been compromised since 1778, when heavy immigration began. As white immigrants from other European lands began ooding in, they were encountering backlash from the original nativists, particularly against the Irish Catholics in the mid19th century. This became a residual bitterness passed down to Joe Kennedy which made him determined one of his sons would become president of the United States if for nothing more than revenge for his immigrant ancestors. Later in that century, it was the Italians, other South Europeans and Germans turns, as well as, the Mexicans, Chileans and the Chinese who came to work during the California Gold Rush and on the construction of transcontinental railroad systems. Not so violently against immigrants of Jewish descent, however, but just as prejudiced. The irony is before the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1943, it was not even possible for a Chinese legal immigrant to acquire full-naturalized citizenship in the United States. Now, these are among the most predominate in science and technology, education, classical European music, health and medicine. Wikipedia summarizes the arguments used to justify the backlashes over the centuries: 1). Government expenses may exceed tax revenue relating to new immigrants; 2). Isolating themselves in their own communities and refuse to learn the local language; 3). Acquire jobs which would have otherwise been available to native citizens, and suppressing wages; 4). Dilute our sense of community and nationality; 5). Increase the consumption of scarce resources; their move from low to high pollution economy increases pollution; 6). Making heavy use of our welfare systems overwhelming our social services such as hospitals and police; 7). May overpopulate our country and capture political power; 8). Can swamp our native population and replace its culture with their own; 9). Increase in housing costs: migrant families can reduce vacancies and cause rent increases; and 10). Swamp a local population with their birthrates. Do these aliens from afar, eventually, ever become fully integrated as nativists in their own era? Try this one on for size: I was waiting to pick up friend at SFO. Near me was three generations of a Vietnamese family. The wizened old grandmother was sitting on a bench in traditional apparel and speaking only in her native language. Her dignied-looking son in a sharp business suit and his trim, slim wife clad in the latest mod American apparels were speaking in a mix of English and Vietnamese as they were pulling from her open suitcase presents she had brought back from a visit to Vietnam. When she handed her son a sparky little 9-year-old his present, he looked chagrined and blurted: A T-shirt! You went all the way back to Saigon and all you brought back for me was a T-shirt? He held up the T-shirt to me, apparently looking for solace: Look at this! My mom went all the way back to Saigon and all she brought me is this lousy T-shirt. He began nimbly dodging the blows his father was furiously directing at him, cursing him in clear English, until the little brat jumped on the axle of the baggage rack and scooted off to return it to its rack. The father looked at me and shrugged a This aint the way they used to talk to their parents and grandparents in our ancient culture. On the other hand, I was thinking: Congratulations, Sir! Your family has now become certied as fully Americanized and qualied to become the next generation of nativists. But, cool it!" you outraged nativists. Them immigrants aint brought down our treasured republic yet, and many will get their own crack at hazing the next generation of immigrants. How does this relate to the current round of primary and general elections? Individual states vary in their size, history and mix of ethnicity. So which state primary election has a lock on what is the true America we should aspire to and ght for at the polls and each other on the blood-stained Battleeld USA? None! What will frame a glowing future for our sainted land will not be due to the nativists.

Wall Street
The global risks continue to exert their weight, Cote said. Ultimately, improving U.S. stronger consumer demand, manufacturing activity and corporate profits will drive U.S. stocks higher, Cote said. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 55.78 points, or 0.5 percent, to 12,359.92. Alcoa Inc. was the Dows biggest loser, slipping 2.1 percent. A Citi analyst forecast that the aluminum maker lost money in the fourth quarter of 2011 for the rst time since the recession. Alcoa, which reports earnings Monday, said late Thursday it would close an aluminum smelter in Tennessee and other operations to cut costs. The latest sign that the labor market is strengthening failed to spur buying by investors. The unemployment rate fell last month to 8.5 percent, while U.S. employers added a net 200,000 jobs, the Labor Department said. The economy has generated 100,000 or more jobs each month for the past six, the longest such streak since April 2006. The number of people applying for unemployment benets last week fell, pushing the four-week average of new claims down to its lowest level since June 2008.

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc., up $4.85 at $65.79 A Jefferies analyst upgraded the biopharmaceutical companys stock to Buy citing strong demand for its vision loss treatment.
The stock market offered a reminder Friday that even if the U.S. job market is improving, theres plenty to worry about elsewhere in the world. The unemployment rate fell in December to 8.5 percent, the lowest level in nearly three years. Yet stock indexes teetered between small gains and losses all day as traders fretted about Europes ongoing nancial drama. Italys borrowing costs spiked to dangerously high levels and the euro fell to a 16-month low against the dollar. U.S. bank stocks fell on concerns that the debt crisis will spread through the nancial industry. The Dow Jones industrial average ended down nearly 56 points and the S&P had a tiny loss, its rst of the year. Both gained more than 1 percent over the rst week of 2012. Most European markets closed lower after new data showed economic sentiment and retail sales falling across the region. Unemployment is stuck at 10.3 percent in the 17 nations that use the euro. Europes debt woes and Chinas slowing economy are overshadowing signs of strength in the U.S. economy, said Doug Cote, chief market strategist at ING Investment Management.
Yahoo gave $27M package to get CEO

By Michael Liedtke
SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo dangled a $27 million pay package to lure its newly hired CEO Scott Thompson away from PayPal. The struggling Internet company disclosed the details of Thompsons compensation in a regulatory filing late Friday. Thompson starts his new job Monday after spending the past four years running eBay Inc.s PayPal service, where revenue more than doubled during his tenure. PayPal took in an estimated $4.4 billion last year. That kind of robust growth is a fuzzy memory for Yahoo Inc., a one-time Internet star whose revenue has sagged as online advertising owed increasingly to rivals Google Inc. and Facebook. Yahoo has promised better times under three new CEOs in less than ve
years, only to frustrate investors each time. Theyve been especially disenchanted since the company squandered an opportunity to sell itself to Microsoft Corp. for $47.5 billion, or $33 per Scott share, in May 2008. Thompson The stock hasnt traded above $20 in more than three years, with the shares closing Friday at $15.52. The last time it closed above $33 was 2006. Thompson, 54, is highly regarded in Internet circles, although some analysts question whether he is the right t for Yahoo because he has no experience in online content or advertising, the companys nancial lifeblood. Yahoo offered Thompson a deal that
includes a $1 million salary and a bonus of up to $2 million this year. Yahoo is guaranteeing to pay him up to $500,000 of that; the remaining $1.5 million will hinge on Yahoos nancial results this year. Thompson also will receive stock incentives valued at $22.5 million. The stock awards could be worth more or less, depending how Yahoos longslumping shares fare under Thompsons leadership. To top it off, Yahoo is paying Thompson $1.5 million to offset money he forfeited by leaving PayPal. A $6.5 million chunk of the stock awards are also meant to offset some of the compensation Thompson would have gotten at PayPal, according to the ling.

Health benefit management company Extend Health Inc. hopes to raise about $75 million with an initial public offering of stock, according to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The San Mateo company operates a private exchange on which retirees can buy Medicare-related coverage. Medicare is the federal governments health coverage program for the elderly and disabled. Extend Health says it receives most of its revenue from Medicare supplement, Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D prescription drug plans. Medicare Advantage plans are pri-
vately run versions of the governments Medicare program for the elderly and disabled. Subsidized by the government, the plans offer basic Medicare coverage topped with extras like vision or dental coverage or premiums lower than standard Medicare rates. The company said its ExtendRetiree product enables employers to switch retirees from group-based, defined benefit health plans to individual, defined contribution health plans. Its clients include more than 30 Fortune 500 companies, according to the filing. Extend Health generates most of its revenue from commissions it receives from insurance carriers for enrolling individuals into health plans. It earned
$2 million in last years third quarter, before making a payment for preferred stockholder dividends, on $15.8 million in revenue. The company did not detail how many shares it plans to offer or the price range in the filing. It will use offering proceeds to repay a loan with Silicon Valley Bank. It also plans to expand sales and marketing and may use some proceeds to acquire businesses, products, services or technologies. Underwriters for the offering include Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., and Wells Fargo Securities LLC. Extend Healths proposed ticker symbol for the New York Stock Exchange is XH
PayPal tests in-store payment system at Home Depot

NEW YORK EBays PayPal service is testing out a payments system in brick-and-mortar Home Depot stores. PayPal spokesman Anuj Nayar said Friday that the system is being tested in just ve stores and involves a small num-
ber of PayPal employees. That means its not available to the general public and likely wont be for some time. The move is part of eBays strategy to expand beyond the desktop computer into mobile devices and other aspects of everyday life. EBay CEO John Donahoe had men-
tioned the plans in October during the companys earnings conference call. But he did not say which retailer was participating. To pay using PayPal, customers will be able to enter their phone number and a pin code, or use a special PayPal card.

CSM wins home opener in OT

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The scenario happens over and over again in sports: a team wins a huge game only to come back a day or two later and follow that victory up with less-than-stellar play. Most teams dont live to tell about it. They wind up with a loss and laundry list of questions. But it appears that the 2011-2012 version isnt one of those teams.
Days after beating City College of San Francisco in perhaps the biggest conference win in recent memory, the College of San Mateo womens basketball team had to sweat it out against a Las Positas squad who, a couple days prior, had been run out of the Skyline College gym. The Bulldogs needed some lucky rolls, solid free throw shooting and an attacking defense to beat the Hawks 65-61 in overtime. The team started off slow, said CSM forward Kimmie Fung. Honestly, we came out
lackadaisical. But this team, we just know how to pull through. The key was our defense. You have to hand it to Las Positas, said CSM head coach Michelle Warner, who has her Bulldogs at 2-0 to start Coast Conference play. I knew they would come in here, I knew they have a good team, I knew wed struggle with their inside game because thats their strength and thats our weakness. So they (CSM) did a very good job in handling the pressure. I think we depleted a lot of our ener-
gy on Wednesday and we have to come back and play another good team. But, thats how our conference is every night is a good competitive team. Perhaps it isnt fair to Las Positas to say that CSM survived in their home opener. But for all intents and purposes, given the way the Bulldogs have been playing, the Hawks were a team that CSM should have handled.

Bearcats stun rival

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Thirteen months ago, the San MateoBurlingame boys soccer game was merely one for bragging rights as the two squads were in separate divisions of the Peninsula Athletic League. That game was abandoned at halftime with the Panthers leading 2-0 because the head referee lost control of an ultra-physical game. Friday, the two team renewed their rivalry in San Mateo with the stakes innitely higher. San Mateo, which went on to win the Ocean Division title last year, moved into the Bay Division this season and Burlingame, the reining Bay Division champ, would provide the Bearcats with their rst real test of the season. If last years meeting was used by San Mateo to prove it belonged on the eld with Burlingame, Friday proved the Bearcats are a
legitimate threat to the Bay Division crown with a 2-0 win over the Panthers, their rst win over Burlingame in ages. Im just really proud of the guys, said San Mateo coach Frank Callaghan. Its quite an accomplishment. Ultimately, the difference between the two teams came down a defensive breakdown and a uky play which resulted in both of San Mateos second-half goals. The Bearcats had been knocking on the door in the rst half and they nally had their chances answered. About 20 minutes into the second half, San Mateo earned a throw-in deep in Burlingame territory. Neither team could quite control the ball before Steffan Voges sent a ball into the Panthers penalty box. Angel Mejia stepped inside his defender and, on a pure reex play, stabbed his foot out to the ball and put it on net, much to the surprise of the Burlingame keeper, who could not react quickly enough.
The Bearcats padded their lead in stoppage time. With the Panthers pushing forward trying to equalize, they got caught on a counter attack. A long ball was sent into the Burlingame defensive third and it was a foot race between San Mateos Esequiel Sandoval and Burlingames Seba Trevino. As the ball approached the penalty box, Burlingame goalkeeper Jorge Avina came off his line and entered the fray. Avina got to the ball rst and Trevino had inside position on Sandoval. Avina went to kick the ball clear, but it hit off of Trevino and bounced backward and into the goal for the nal 2-0 margin. While neither goal will be up for goal of the year, they were just rewards for a San Mateo team that had the better scoring opportunities all game long.
Perhaps there isnt anything more valuable, and thus rarer, to a high school soccer team than a nisher a player who can score goals almost like a sixth sense. The Hillsdale boys soccer team had such a player last year and in the new season, theyre learning just how valuable he was. Despite a handful of crystal clear looks at goal, the Knights could only capitalize on one opportunity, thus having to settle for a 1-1 draw against Westmoor in Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division action on Friday. We play a similar game, Hillsdale head coach Andy Hodzic said of Westmoor. We have a little more game than they have. But shooting, shooting and scoring (was the key). Last game against Terra Nova, we had 15 opportunities at goal. Today, we had ve or six, but got only one goal. So, we have to work on that. It looked like the Knights would have no problem scoring on Friday with the way the games initial stages unfolded. Five minutes in, a strong run up the right side by Kelly Lau produced a cross into the Westmoor box where Frederick Whitman was able to get a foot on it. His shot was saved, but the rebound was drilled into the back of the net by Alexander Golden for the 1-0 lead. According to Hodzic, Golden is part of an ongoing experiment to try and nd that scoring touch for the Knights. Golden, along with players like Andreas Lau, are natural defenders who are being asked to pull a 180 and play offense. On Friday, Golden rewarded his coach with a goal. But Westmoor didnt sit back and allow the Knights to push them around. The Rams battled, pressuring Hillsdale on a couple of occasions where headers missed the goal by a couple of inches. The Rams were nally rewarded for their

Raiders to hire PackersMcKenzie as GM

By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND The Oakland Raiders have landed their new personnel man, who faces the daunting task of helping ll the void left by late owner Al Davis. The Raiders said Friday they have reached an agreement with Green Bay Packers director of football operations Reggie McKenzie to become their new general manager. They
Reggie McKenzie
scheduled a news conference for Tuesday to introduce McKenzie, who will fulll many of the duties handled by iconic owner Davis until his Oct. 8 death at age 82. One of McKenzies rst orders of business likely will be sitting down with coach Hue Jackson, who
handled many personnel decisions in recent months. Jackson, who just completed his rst season as head coach after being elevated from offensive coordinator, pulled off the highly debated October trade for quarterback Carson Palmer after starter Jason Campbell broke his collarbone. The 48-year-old McKenzie will take over his new job with the Raiders immediately, a person with knowledge of the hiring told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of
anonymity because those details werent formally announced. That means McKenzie will leave the defending Super Bowl champion Packers (15-1) before they open defense of their title. The NFCs No. 1 seed is off this weekend with a rst-round playoff bye. I would like to thank Reggie McKenzie for all that he has done for the Green Bay Packers over the last 18 years, Green Bay general

Serra skewers Lancers

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
While it may be too early in the West Catholic Athletic League season to say Serras game against visiting St. Francis Friday night was a must-win game, it was certainly a very pivotal matchup for the Padres. After opening WCAL play Tuesday with a loss on the road to Sacred Heart Cathedral, Serra could not afford to drop a second straight in league. As a result, the Padres put together one of their strongest defensive performances of the season in a 5642 win over the Lancers. (The win was) big, said Serra coach Chuck Rapp. You dont want to start the (WCAL) season 0-2. Thats a slippery start. Sometimes the rst league win is the toughest to get. Serra (1-1 WCAL, 10-2 overall) made things a little difcult on itself with some shaky rst-half free throw shooting. But the Padres made up for it with stiing defense and then nding the range from the line in the second half, connecting on 22 of 26 attempts in the third and fourth quarters. This after making just 6 of 11 in the rst 16 minutes. The Padres can thank the shooting of guards Andre Miller and Jacqui Biggins for holding off St. Francis in the fourth quarter. The pair combined to make 20 of 21 free throws
(The win was) big.You dont want to start the (WCAL) season 0-2.Thats a slippery start.
Chuck Rapp, Serra coach
including 14 for 14 in the fourth quarter alone. Biggins nished with a game-high 21 points and Miller added 15. Serra managed to make just 12 of 32 shots from the oor, but the defense more than made up for an off-night shooting. St. Francis hit just 14 eld goals. The Padres controlled the boards as well, holding a 30-18 advantage. (Defense) was great, Rapp said. We held them to 38 percent shooting and we were plus-[12] on the boards. In the second quarter, we really started to pick it up (defensively). The Padres also came up with 11 steals and turned the ball over just nine times. Serra led most of the way, trailing only once when St. Francis Khalid Johnson drained a 3-pointer with one second left in the rst quarter to give the Lancers a 12-10 lead after one. Serra opened the game with a 6-0 run as the Padres made their rst three shots. They did not make another eld goal in the quarter and were 4 for 8 from the line. Josaf Zamora tied the game at 12 by making the rst shot of the second quarter and the game stayed
tight until Biggins dialed up from long distance. He drained the rst of his four 3s with 3:55 left in the second, pushing Serra to a 19-14 lead. His second 3 came at the 3:27 mark and he capped the half with a bomb at the buzzer to give Serra a 25-17 lead at halftime. Biggins is a good shooter and he can score, Rapp said. (Those 3s at the end of the half) were huge. Biggins added one more trey with 5:20 left to play. The Padres pushed their lead to 10, 27-17, early in the third quarter before St. Francis nally made its move. The Lancers ended up outscoring the Padres 13-7 in the third quarter, cutting their decit to four, 34-30, heading into the fourth. From there, it was all Serra, which outscored the Lancers 22-12 over the nal eight minutes of the game. In addition to Biggins and Miller, Henry Caruso added 10 points for Serra. Stephen Grosey, who was held to just two points, picked up the slack on the boards, grabbing 10 rebounds eight in the second half. St. Francis was led by Khalid Johnson, who finished with 16 points, the only Lancer to score in double gures.

49ers: Hurry and wait for playoff matchup

By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA Jim Harbaugh calls it honkering down from the verb to hunker down, dened by Websters as the process of digging in or settling in to one location for a sustained period. He will gather his 49ers coaching staff at team headquarters Saturday, order in pizzas and prepare for a day of watching football and then starting the game-planning process for San Franciscos playoff opponent on Jan. 14 at sold-out Candlestick Park. Honkering down, Harbaugh said with a smile Friday. Thats what I call it. He recited the teams address as where he will be: 4949 Centennial Blvd. Well watch it here, as a group, until we know who were playing and then, as soon as we know, well be able to get right on the game-planning for that opponent. As soon as we know, well start doing that. Harbaugh has acknowledged he very much expects to face Drew Brees and the favored New Orleans Saints, who host Detroit on Saturday at the Superdome. The NFC West champion Niners (13-3) own the NFCs No. 2 seed and a rst-round bye heading into their rst postseason appearance in nine years. Safety Donte Whitners little brother, Dawawn, is ying in to join him and friends to
watch games this weekend. Dashon Goldson and some of the other 49ers are leaving town to get some family time, but you bet theyll be tuning into the playoffs. Wide receiver Michael Crabtree plans to make himself his usual Jim Harbaugh oatmeal or grits with plenty of sugar and butter and a glass of cranberry-apple juice, then crawl into bed with the games on TV. I really do that, Crabtree said, smiling, revealing himself in a rare moment. I eat breakfast all the time, breakfast and seafood. The other possible matchups if the Lions pull off an upset would be Atlanta or New York. The Giants came to the Bay Area in January 2003 and were stunned by San Franciscos 39-38 comeback victory in the NFC wild-card game. This is the 49ers rst trip back since. Whitner, like so many others in this locker room, will be watching the playoffs in such a different way this year: With a scouting eye rather than as a true observer. You tend to be a little jealous of the guys that are playing in the playoffs, he said. All the attention of the sports world is on your games, especially when you get into the second, third round and the games get more and more important. Guys that want to get into the
playoffs and are tired of sitting around four or ve years in a row not making the playoffs now we have an opportunity to be one of 12 teams. Next week going into our game well be one of eight teams, and hopefully after than game well be one of four. Were going to enjoy this. Many of the players are using the off week for much-needed rest and recovery from injuries. Harbaugh didnt treat the bye as a typical break like the one each club gets midseason. Many of the 49ers have been at work each day, treating this time as a key opportunity to gain a bit of a head start. I dont feel like this is a young team. I feel like this is a team thats mature enough, that understands the opportunity we have in front of us and that we need to take advantage of these opportunities, quarterback Alex Smith said. Take advantage of this time to rest and get better. Havent skipped a beat as we make use of this week and next week, and well come out on (next) Saturday. The 49ers landed a league-best ve players on the All-Pro team Friday, including Justin Smith as a rst-teamer at defensive tackle and a second-teamer at defensive end. Yeah, its unique. The fellas got a chuckle out of it when I announced it to them: Firstteam defensive tackle, Justin Smith. Secondteam defensive end, (Justin Smith). They got a laugh out of that, Harbaugh said after prac-
tice. Smith, the quiet, ferocious Cowboy as hes called, just laughed about being named at two positions. He doesnt classify himself as one position over the other. I dont know, I dont consider myself ... I just go out and play where Im playing, Smith said. I let that all that other peripheral stuff just be that, peripheral. Kicker David Akers who set a single-season NFL record with 44 eld goals made the All-Pro list, along with punter Andy Lee and inside linebackers Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman. I dont think its sunk it yet, but we work hard, Bowman said. Pats considered one of the elites in this league and for me to be mentioned in the same sentence or to make an AllPro team is just huge. Notes: Injured TE Delanie Walker, whose jaw was broken in two places in a win at Seattle on Dec. 24, has been cleared to work out but not practice. He didnt sound convinced Friday about returning for the playoffs. Walker spent two weeks on a liquid diet with his jaw wired shut, but has now progressed to soft foods. Im just taking it day by day and trying to get back healthy again, Walker said. Its emotional. First time in the playoffs and I get hurt. Not being able to play, that kind of hurts. But our team is doing well and Im recovering the way I want to recover, so who knows.
Lakers hand Warriors third-straight loss

By Greg Beacham
Lakers 97, Warriors 90

who has three straight 30-point games. The Lakers outlasted the injury-depleted Warriors in the fourth quarter for their fth win in seven games. Monta Ellis scored 18 points and David Lee had 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Warriors, who have lost seven straight road games to the Lakers. Rookie Klay Thompson scored 14 points as Golden State played without high-scoring guard Stephen Curry, who sprained his right ankle Wednesday in San Antonio, and center Andris Biedrins, who also has an injured right ankle.
LOS ANGELES Kobe Bryant scored 26 of his 39 points in a dynamic second half, Pau Gasol added 17 points and 11 rebounds, and the weary Los Angeles Lakers gritted out a 97-90 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Friday night. Matt Barnes had 16 points and six rebounds before fouling out for the Lakers, who won their fth straight home game while playing their NBA-high ninth game in 13 days. Los Angeles bounced back from a passionless rst half with another strong effort from Bryant,
Bryants two missed layups in the opening minutes were another reminder of the 13-time All-Stars struggles with a torn ligament in his right wrist. Before the game, Lakers coach Mike Brown acknowledged Bryant is receiving painkilling injections before every game, but said he isnt worried about Bryants ability to hold up during the jam-packed NBA schedule. Golden State led 39-35 after an unsightly rst half for both teams, who combined for 23 turnovers. Bryant heated up after halftime, scoring 17 points during the third quarter on a variety of jumpers and drives. Barnes also stepped up in the second half, playing perhaps his best game
under the Lakers new coaching staff. Nate Robinson scored nine points two days after signing with the Warriors, who scored eight consecutive points to trim the Lakers late 11-point lead to 85-82 with 3 1/2 minutes left. Los Angeles responded with Barnes fast-break layup sandwiched between two quick baskets from Gasol, putting the Lakers back in control. Kwame Brown had 13 points for the Warriors while enduring the usual cascade of boos from the Staples Center crowd for the former Lakers big man. Golden State hasnt beaten the Lakers at Staples Center since March 23, 2008, losing 32 of the last 35 road meetings overall.

Five 49ers receive All-Pro status

By Barry Wilner
NEW YORK Calvin Johnson took one look at the voting and smiled broadly. Thats sweet, he said, as he studied the Associated Press 2011 NFL All-Pro Team. Thats one of the best honors you can have other than being a Super Bowl champion. To be an AllPro is a tremendous honor. Johnson and Vikings defensive end Jared Allen were the leading vote getters, each just one vote shy of being a unanimous pick. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers made the team for the rst time, easily beating Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints, 47 1/2 to 2 1/2. Rodgers led Green Bay to a league-best 15-1 record this season, after taking the Packers to the Super Bowl title last February. I am a competitor, Rodgers said. I care desperately about winning and doing everything I can to contribute. But personally, speaking for my own self, you learn exactly what you need to do to be able to balance the pressure from the outside with the pressure from within, that you put on yourself to be successful. Last years run is really going to help all of us and our preparation through the week. Johnson and Allen received 49 votes Friday from a nationwide panel
of 50 media members who regularly cover the NFL. It was the fourth All-Pro Team for Allen, who led the league with 22 sacks, one-half Justin Smith short of the record. Johnson made it for the rst time after hauling in 96 catches for a 17.5-yard average and scoring 16 touchdowns. The All-Pro Team to me is one of the all-time accomplishments, said Allen, who also was selected in 2007 through 2009. Pro Bowls are nice, but guys get voted in longer than they should and guys who deserve to go dont always get to. Its the whole league. Its not just an AFC and NFC thing. So to me this is the honor I hold the highest. Its something to put on the resume and tell the grandkids about. One rookie made the squad: Arizonas Patrick Peterson was selected as the kick returner. Peterson tied an NFL mark when he ran back four punts for touchdowns, including a 99yarder in overtime to beat the Rams. Its special to be the only rookie on the list and a nice way to end my rst NFL season, said Peterson, a cornerback. Another cornerback, Darrelle Revis
of the Jets, was behind Johnson and Allen with 48 selections. Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs got 47. One oddity: Both rst-team Carl Patrick Willis guards, Nicks and Jahri Evans, were from the Saints. That hasnt happened since 1953, with Detroits Lou Creekmur and Dick Stanfel. Thats a great honor and thats a long time since it happened, Nicks said. I think this shows its recognized that we are strong and physical and not just big guys. We are athletic enough to pass protect 45 to 50 times a game and keep Drew clean. In the All-Pro backeld joining Rodgers, whose quarterback rating of 122.5 broke Peyton Mannings single-season mark, were Maurice Jones-Drew of Jacksonville, LeSean McCoy of Philadelphia, and fullback Vonta Leach of Baltimore. Its the rst All-Pro selections for Jones-Drew, the leagues rushing leader with 1,606 yards, and McCoy. Leach made it last year with Houston. It is a we thing, not a me thing, Jones-Drew said, praising his teammates on offense and his coaches. The guys who dont get the glory
and keep blocking all day, and the coaches who dont get enough credit, its for them. McCoy scored 20 touchdowns, 17 rushing, and was the brightest Andy Lee spot in a down year for the hyped Eagles. Yet ... There are so many things I can do better, he said. I look at the numbers and see so many plays I left on the eld, so many yards. I can perfect my game a lot more. Record-setter Rob Gronkowski was the tight end. The Patriot set the single-season mark at his position with 1,327 yards receiving. Teammate Wes Welker (league-high 122 catches) was the other receiver. Pittsburghs Maurkice Pouncey was the center, with Philadelphias Jason Peters and Clevelands Joe Thomas at tackle. Joining Allen on the defensive line were ends Jason Pierre-Paul of the Giants, and tackles Haloti Ngata of the Ravens and Justin Smith of the 49ers who also placed third at DE; the 49ers used him at both spots. Actually, I knew that I was going to have a great year this year, said Pierre-Paul, in his second season with the Giants. I came in and last year I
had an all right season and I wanted to do better than what I did last year. Next season in 2012, I should be better than this year. The linebackers were Suggs and DeMarcus Ware of Dallas on the outside, Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman of the 49ers and Derrick Johnson of the Chiefs on the inside. Bowman and Johnson tied with 16 votes, half of Willis total. Revis and Charles Woodson of the Packers were the cornerbacks, with Troy Polamalu of the Steelers and Eric Weddle of the Chargers at safety. Both kickers were 49ers: placekicker David Akers and punter Andy Lee. Repeaters from 2010 were Polamalu, Revis, Willis, Ngata, Evans, Thomas and Leach. In addition to Johnson, Jones-Drew, McCoy and Peterson, other rsttimers were Gronkowski, Nicks, Peters, Pouncey, Pierre-Paul, Smith, Suggs, Bowman, Johnson and Weddle. The 49ers led the All-Pro Team with ve players, a testament to the turnaround in San Francisco under new coach Jim Harbaugh. Baltimore was next with three players. The Ravens are coached by Jim Harbaughs brother, John, whose team beat the 49ers on Thanksgiving night. There were 16 players from the NFC and 12 from the AFC.
Smart gets another shot, this time as Kings coach

SACRAMENTO Keith Smart spent much of his time during the lockout this summer scribbling notes at home, everything from designing plays to deciding what hed do differently if he ever got another chance to be an NBA head coach. He never gured that time would come so soon. More than eight months after the Golden State Warriors let his one-and-done contract expire, Smart, the former Indiana guard best known for hitting The Shot against Syracuse to win the 1987 NCAA title, is getting another shot as the Sacramento Kings coach and looking to move past his swift Bay Area exit. When it happened the way it happened, you
say, I hope I get another opportunity, Smart said. You hope you get another opportunity and its not, Lets coach for this year and do all we can and stop developing. Well, I can coach now and develop a team. The Kings red Paul Westphal seven games into the lockout-shortened season Thursday, marking the Keith Smart third time Smart has ascended from assistant to the top spot never seeing a second season each time previously, never really even having a chance to earn that time in either case. While nothing is promised again, Smart is condent he nally has strong support to be the lasting replacement.
The 47-year-old isnt one to sulk about whether he got a fair shake with the Warriors, who ousted the NBAs career wins leader, Don Nelson, before training camp last year and hastily appointed Smart. Golden State nished with a 36-46 record, a 10-game improvement under Smart from the previous season. He never stood a chance. New Warriors owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber wanted to make their own hire, if nothing else just for the sake of change, cutting ties with Smart and signing the more amboyant Mark
Jackson the former Knicks and Pacers point guard and ABC/ESPN broadcaster who had never coached at any level. Smart also had a stint as the Cleveland Cavaliers interim head coach for the nal 40 games in 2003 after taking over for John Lucas. This opportunity is not how a coach likes to come into it, said Smart, who spoke with Westphal before signing his contract. He said, Dont do anything stupid and reject this. I want you to coach this team. He felt it, and I felt that he meant it from the bottom of his heart.

SPORTS
Davis longtime senior assistant, Bruce Allen, departed for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after the 2003 season. Allen had been a top personnel executive for Davis from 1996-2003. Davis son, Mark, is now making many top decisions. Oakland went 8-8 this season after a promising 7-4 start, ending its playoff chances by losing four of the nal ve games including a 38-26 home loss last Sunday to San Diego with a playoff berth still within reach. The Raiders have missed the postseason for the last nine years since losing in the Super Bowl after the 2002 season. Davis loved to bring back former Raiders to the silver and black, and McKenzie ts the bill. He played linebacker for the Raiders from 1985-88 and joined the Packers as a pro personnel assistant in 1994. He became the director of football operations on May 27, 2008, and also previously worked in the role of director of pro personnel. A 10th-round draft pick by the Los Angeles Raiders out of Tennessee in 1985, McKenzie played the rst four of his six NFL seasons with the Raiders. Im just looking in through the keyhole right now, so all I really know is that he was very sought after from what Ive gathered and read, said 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, who theyre going to be very disciplined and theyre not going to get away from what they do. All in all, I was impressed with our play today. They didnt quit, they kept pushing. Tied at one, the second half was a matter of missed opportunities for both teams albeit, Hillsdale had the bulk of those chances and didnt execute well enough to be rewarded. Lau was just wide on a shot to the far post, Goldens header in the 60th minute went a couple inches over the crossbar and Calvin Araujo shot was saved brilliantly by the Westmoor keeper. The game is there, Hodzic said. Its

has worked for the Raiders. For the Packers, losing McKenzie is a double whammy. Earlier Friday, Green Bay announced that Vice President Jason Wied had resigned from the teams front ofce because of health issues. Wied, the vice president of administration/general counsel, took an indenite leave of absence from the organization in November. In a statement issued Friday by the Packers, Wied said he has been dealing with sleep apnea and insomnia and developed a dependency on one of the herbal remedies he was using. aggressive, its passing, its creating opportunities. Were going to nd scoring. Its a work in progress. The whole team did a pretty good job today. It was just the nishing. As for Westmoor, the team from Daly City was happy to come away with a point on the road. This is big, Rashid said. Anytime you play a team like Hillsdale, on their home eld, and come away with a draw, youve accomplished a lot. I think my players now believe in themselves. They know they can play with a team like Hillsdale.

manager Ted Thompson said in a statement. Reggie is a tremendous talent, but more importantly, he is a good friend and great family man. His contributions to our organization are numerous and he is ready for the opportunity to be a general manager in the National Football League. Its been a privilege to work with Reggie, he is a good man. ESPN rst reported the deal. Oakland has gone without someone in a true GM role since

Sometimes the ball bounces your way, Callaghan said. We pressed [their defense] pretty good and we had the better scoring chances. San Mateo (1-0 PAL Bay, 6-0-1 overall) nished the game with 11 shots and, more importantly, six were on goal. Burlingame (01) nished with eight shots, six of which were on frame. The game was evenly matched from the opening whistle, with none of the dirty play that marred last years meeting. Burlingame had two good scoring chances in the opening 40 minutes, but Shayan Aminis shot from 20 yards was just wide and Jonah Snyders quick header was handled by the San Mateo goalkeeper. San Mateos best had a great chance pushed aside by Burlingame goalkeeper Jack Murphy, who made a headlong dive to push a Voges hard, low shot just wide of the post. Later, Murphy made a good play on Kent Turtletaubs free kick into the penalty. The ball took a giant hop, but Murphy stuck with it and made the save. The win continues a strong run by the San Mateo defense, which has given up just one goal in seven games. Despite the win, however, Callaghan is not satised. We can denitely play better, Callaghan said.
efforts in the 35th minute on a run up the left side by Ricardo Buzo. His cross was met precisely by Anthony Vernengo, who fought off a Hillsdale defender on his run to glory.

CSM
But the Bulldogs didnt help themselves in a couple of ways. One, it denitely wasnt their best shooting performance. CSM shot 26 percent in a rst half that saw them lead 26-23 come recess. Las Positas was worse at 25 percent, but they dominated the boards. The Hawks, behind the play of Carlie Bonderer and Tatiana Pitts, were just too much for CSM inside. Bonderer pulled down eight boards in the rst half and 21 for the game her offensive rebounding was the key to Las Positas scoring. I have to give it up to my girls for battling. Our shots werent falling tonight, but this was our best free throw shooting night, thank goodness, and they hung on and pulled it out. With Las Positas believing they could pull off the upset, the second half was a back and

forth affair. The biggest lead of the half actually belonged to the Hawks at 48-43 with under ve minutes left in the game. CSM went on a 7-2 run at that point, with Fung stealing a pass and feeding Hannan Salah for a bucket to tie things up at 50. Las Positas retook the lead twice on buckets by Pitts and with 1:11 left in the game, the Hawks led 54-52. CSM came down the oor and missed a shot and on the ensuing possession, a Las Positas miss led to a Bonderer putback attempt. It was then that, after being dominated the entire night on the glass, CSM and Salah pulled down the biggest board of the night. With 10.1 seconds left, Fung got the basketball and drove to the hoop where she was
fouled. The forward hit the line with a chance to tie the game and calmly knocked both of them down. I imagined it was me in the gym by myself, Fung said. I just zoned everyone out. In overtime, CSM was still out-rebounded, but they forced ve Las Positas turnovers. Fung scored four points in the period to bring her game total to 20. I think this gives them a lot of condence, Warner said. And to wake up and see what our conference is. To step up to the line and knock them down was great. Kimmie did a great job. Having sophomores is nice, to have that experience and step up and knock it down and to nish the game.

Turkey:Ex-military chief arrested over plot
ISTANBUL A former Turkish military chief suspected of leading an Internet campaign to stir revolt was jailed Friday in a sweeping investigation of alleged conspiracies to topple a civilian government that Ilker Basbug has stripped the armed forces of political clout. Gen. Ilker Basbug, 68, was the most senior ofcer to face trial in the anti-terror probes that began years ago, netting hundreds of suspects, many of them retired and active-duty military ofcers. The government casts the inquiries as a triumph for the rule of law and democracy, but suspicions of score-settling, long imprisonments without verdicts and other lapses have tainted the legal process.
Bombing in Syria kills 25

Joran van der Sloot hints hell plead guilty

LIMA, Peru Joran van der Sloot appears ready to accept responsibility for the killing of a Peruvian woman ve years to the day after the disappearance in Aruba of U.S. teen Natalee Holloway, for which he remains the prime susJoran van der Sloot pect. The Dutch citizen sought and received more time to decide how to plead as his trial opened Friday in the May 30, 2010, murder of 21-year-old Stephany Flores, whom he met at a Lima casino. He said he was inclined to confess but doesnt accept the aggravated murder charges the prosecution seeks.
BEIRUT A bomb exploded Friday at a busy Damascus intersection, killing 25 people and wounding dozens in the second major attack in the Syrian capital in as many weeks, ofcials said, vowing to respond to further security threats with an iron st. The government blamed terrorists, saying a suicide bomber had blown himself up in the crowded Midan district. But the countrys opposition demanded an independent investigation, accusing forces loyal to the Syrian regime of being behind the bombing to tarnish a 10month-old uprising against President Bashar Assad. Is there anything worse than these crimes? said Majida Jomaa, a 30-year-old housewife who ran to the streets after hearing the explosion around 11 a.m. Is this freedom? It was impossible to determine the exact target of the blast, but a police bus was riddled with shrapnel and blood was splattered on its seats, according to Syrian TV video and a government ofcial. Blood also stained the street, which was

littered with shattered glass. The bomber detonated himself with the aim of killing the largest number of people, Interior Minister Mohammed Shaar told reporters. State media said most of the dead were civilians but security forces were also among them. Midan is one of several Damascus neighborhoods that have seen frequent anti-Assad protests on Fridays since the uprising began in March, inspired by the revolutions around the Arab world. The violence marks a dramatic escalation of bloodshed in Syria as Arab League observers tour the country to investigate Assads bloody crackdown on dissent. The monitoring mission will issue its rst ndings Sunday at a meeting in Cairo. In a statement, the Interior Ministry vowed to respond to any security threats with an iron st. Syrias state media, SANA, put the initial death toll at 25 and more than 60 wounded. The death toll included 10 conrmed dead and the remains of an estimated 15 others whose bodies had yet to be identied. I found bodies on the ground, including one of a man who was carrying two boxes of yogurt, Midan resident Anis Hassan Tinawi, 55, told the AP.
U.S.Navy rescues Iranian fishing boat from pirates

By Lolita C. Baldor
WASHINGTON The political tensions between the U.S. and Iran over transit in and around the Persian Gulf gave way Friday to photos of rescued Iranian fisherman happily wearing American Navy ball caps. The fishermen were rescued by a U.S. Navy destroyer Thursday, more than 40 days after their boat
was commandeered by suspected Somali pirates in the northern Arabian Sea. The rescue came just days after Tehran warned the U.S. to keep its warships out of the Persian Gulf an irony not lost on U.S. officials who trumpeted the news on Friday. We think its very doubtful that the Iranians or the pirates were aware of recent events of the last couple days, Rear Adm. Craig S. Faller, commander of the U.S.
Navy Carrier Strike Group involved in the rescue, told reporters by phone Friday. Once we released them (the fishermen) today they went on their way very happily, I might add, waving to us wearing USS Kidd Navy ball caps. Faller, speaking from the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis in the Arabian Sea, said the fishermen, who had been living off the fish they could catch, expressed their
thanks and are believed to be headed back to their homeport in Iran. The rescue was carried out by American forces flying off the guided-missile destroyer USS Kidd, after crew on the Iranian fishing vessel, the Al Molai, made it clear they were in trouble. The USS Kidd, part of the Stennis carrier group, was sailing in the Arabian Sea, after leaving the Persian Gulf, when it came to the sailors aid.

The King of Pop and Cirque Du Soleil will look to thrill audiences
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Its actually quite thrilling to picture what would happen if two creative geniuses like the Michael Jackson and Cirque Du Soleil were to collaborate and put together a show. Well, next weekend in San Jose, the Bay Area will get to experience just that. The Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour will come to the HP Pavilion in San Jose for a three-day spectacle that com-
bines the music and spirit of the late King of Pop with the artistry and wonder of Cirque Du Soleil. After their stop in San Jose, the show will move on to Oaklands Oracle Arena. The Immortal Tour was written and directed by Jamie King and its the rst ofcial show authorized by the Jackson Estate following his shocking death in 2009. The excitement around this show has been amazing everywhere weve been, said Maxime Charbonneau, spokesperson and publicist for the Immortal Tour. The crowds are ecstatic, people love the show. Were expecting a great crowd. People more
and more are becoming aware of what the show is about and the concepts of the show. At rst, most of the people who were buying tickets were Cirque Du Soleil fans. This show is a kind of a hybrid between a rock show and Cirque Du Soleil show and more and were getting the music fan and that, mixed with the Cirque Du Soleil fans, creates an amazing atmosphere. Charbonneau said that before his death in 2009, Jackson was actually quite a Cirque Du Soleil fan, catching all the touring shows

an. 1, for most people, is simply the new year. It is the start of a fresh beginning. Its a time for New Years resolutions, celebration and reectance. For high school seniors, however, Jan. 1 is a different story. For seniors around the nation, Jan. 1 is cram time the most common college application deadline date. This year, though I tried to make a New Years resolution, I was unable to make one. After a week-long introspective session of college applications, it really is hard to wonder what I would want to change about my life. In some sense, the college application process is deeply personal. While writing my college essays, I certainly gained better understanding of myself. In high school, I had always acted upon my moral belief system, but I had never been fully conscious of it. While writing college essays, I became aware of my previous motives. Of the various essays I wrote, I had to explain my reasoning behind my choice for a prospective major. I had to identify an important person in my life and explain his or her impact on me. I even contemplated the similarities between Plato and Play-Doh, and more importantly I had to wonder how the philosopher and the play toy affected me. This experience came as a bit of a surprise to me. While in high school, I had always been focused on subjects I was taught. In college essays, I did not write about the marvels of English. Rather, I wrote about why I loved English. In the end, college essays did not ask about my academic prowess. They asked me about who I was. At the same time, college essay writing is a terrifying process. After all, it is the usually the last portion of the application to be completed. By the point that one approaches the college application essays, most of the rest of the application will be set in stone. Grade point averages are resolute; test scores are more or less consistent. Most of the objective qualications of an applicant are unchangeable. The only portion of the application that is left is the essay the subjective writing assignment which is rumored to be in some cases the deciding factor for applicants. Thus, as I clicked the submit button on the common application, I realized that what I was sending to colleges was not just my scores and academic record but also a portion of my personality. And so, in this process that is said to be the dening paramount of the high school experience, I realized I was being judged for my person. This was a troubling realization. Simultaneously, however, I realized that

NBC says they werent afraid of Chelseas vodka

By David Bauder
PASADENA NBCs entertainment chief insists that it wasnt squeamishness over booze that got vodka dropped from the television version of Chelsea Handlers memoir. Robert Greenblatt said Friday that the 2008 books title, Are You There, Vodka? Its Me, Chelsea, was just too long. Initially, NBC considered just calling the show Chelsea but settled instead on Are You
There, Chelsea? and it debuts on the network next Wednesday. There was no mandate from anyone saying dont put vodka in the title of the show, the entertainment president said. Talk to the author, though, and thats not so Chelsea clear. Handler said in a Handler telephone conference call last month that although there is plenty of Citizenship and Immigration Services. The purpose is to minimize the extent to which bureaucratic delays separate Americans from their families for long periods of time, Mayorkas told reporters. It currently takes about six months for the government to issue a waiver, Mayorkas said. The waiver shift is the latest move by President Barack Obama to make changes to immigration policy without congressional action. Congressional Republicans repeatedly have criticized the administration for policy changes they describe as providing backdoor amnesty to illegal immigrants. The proposal also comes as Obama gears up for a re-election contest in which the support of Hispanic voters could prove a determining factor in a number of states. The administration hopes to change the rule later this year after taking public comments. Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, on Friday accused the president of putting the interests reached out to King, who is renowned for directing music tours for artists like Celine Dion and Madonna. Cirque wanted to work with someone who had good knowledge of that world (pop music tours) because Cirque has never really created a show arenas and 10,000 people. So we decided to partner with someone who really knew the rock n roll world. And Jamie has proven that he is a great director. Charbonneau said putting together the show was no easy task. Along with the pressure of living up the Cirque name comes the added longer dictated by my choices; it is now in the hands of admissions committees around the nation. This action of submitting my applications was also a moment of acceptance. I had sent colleges the message: For the past 17 years, this is the person I have been. Regardless of what I could have done better in the past, my
drinking in the show, you cant have it in the title. On Friday, Handler joked that not everyone is into alcohol as much as I am. She said that this is not cable, this is network and said taking vodka out of the title could broaden the appeal of the show to include people who arent big drinkers. Handler has a part-time role in the show. Instead of playing the character Chelsea, she plays her born-again Christian sister. Laura Prepon of That 70s Show portrays Chelsea. The Chelsea character, described by NBC as a sexually dynamic advanced drinker, is of illegal immigrants ahead of those of Americans. It seems President Obama plays by his own rules to push unpopular policies on the American people, the House Judiciary Committee chair said in a statement. Immigrants who do not have criminal records and who have only violated immigration laws can win a waiver if they can prove their absence would cause an extreme hardship for their American spouse or parent. The government received about 23,000 hardship applications in 2011 and more than 70 percent were approved. About 75 percent of the applications were filed by Mexicans, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Immigrant advocates have long complained about the current system, which can split up families for months or years. And since theres no guarantee a person will win a waiver to return, many immigrant families refuse weight of staying true to the King of Pop, his music and his legacy. You wont see any Jackson impersonators on stage only 60plus performers driven by the voice of the icon himself. Its denitely an added pressure because people have high expectations, Charbonneau said. Michaels passing is still fresh in peoples minds, so of course theres extra pressure to produce a high quality production that would touch the people but pay tribute to Michael the best way possible. The show is driven by Michaels voice. The sound is fate in the college admissions is nearly completely sealed. I might as well be proud of myself for who I am. It is for this reason that I have no New Years resolution. In this forthcoming year, I do not seek to better myself on a certain regret of the past. I seek to enjoy the person I have come to discover through writing col-
jailed for driving under the influence of alcohol early in the shows history, according to a clip shown to reporters Friday. In real life I got a DUI once, Handler said. I havent gotten one since. Handler appears in seven of the 13 episodes ordered by NBC. The comic, with her own late-night show on E! Entertainment, said she was too busy to do much more. Its a dream come true to have someone else portray me, she said, because Ive been living this life, and Im over me. to take the risk of going abroad to apply for one. Laura Barajas, a 42-year-old stay-at-home mom in Orange County, Calif., is due to travel to Ciudad Juarez in two weeks to try to get her papers. She and her U.S. citizen husband are trying to stay positive, but she is afraid to leave him and their two young children behind. I dont want to be separated for a long time from my children, said Barajas, who came to the U.S. illegally to nd work, then met her future husband and stayed. Im not going to risk taking them to a place that I dont even know after 18 years. Pro-immigration activists and lawyers embraced the change, saying it would keep families together and encourage more people now in the United States illegally to emerge from the shadows and apply for visas. Some said it could even save lives. amazing. Its Michael leading the way. You can almost feel his presence. Expect something totally different than what youve seen from Cirque Du Soleil, Charbonneau said. This one is closer to a pop-rock concert experience. On stage, youll see 65 artists that will move you.
OBAMA
they can ask the federal government to waive a three- to 10-year ban on legally coming back to the U.S. The length of the ban depends on how long they have lived in the U.S. without permission. On Friday, the Obama administration proposed changing the rule to let children and spouses ask the government to decide on the waiver request before they head to their home country to seek a visa to return here legally. The illegal immigrants would still have to go abroad to nish the visa process, but getting a provisional waiver approved in advance would reduce the time they are out of the country from months to days or weeks, said Alejandro Mayorkas, director of U.S.

THE HOTEL WILSHIRE JOINS L.A.S MIRACLE MILE. Some of Los Angeles nest museums welcomed a new neighbor Sept. 1, when the coolly contemporary Hotel Wilshire opened within walking distance of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Petersen Automotive Museum, the Zimmer Childrens Museum, the George C. Page Museum and the A+D (Architecture + Design) Museum. The 74-room boutique hotel was repurposed from the 1951 Victor Gruen-designed Mid-Wilshire Medical Building, which housed doctors suites on its six oors. (The MWM letters on the hotels western wall remain from the propertys original incarnation.) Killefer Flammang Architects, who took charge of the buildings ground-up metamorphosis, skillfully incorporated sustainable resources and green building materials in the buildings transformation to help The Hotel Wilshire achieve its LEED certied designation. The Hotel Wilshires sleek interior is punctuated by contemporary art in both its public and private spaces, beginning with the lobby, which is anchored by Artist Dennis Ekstedts powerful 22-foot-high backlit photomural Soho Myriad, an aerial view of illuminated city streets. The hotels strong modern design statement is carried out even in its most practical elements, such as the state of the art technology in the streamlined guest rooms, which feature at screen HD LCD TVs with media hubs that support cell phones, laptops, personal devices and iPods. There is complimentary hi-speed Internet access and WiFi throughout as well as an onsite business center and a conference room. The property may be toured online at http://www.knadesign.com/work.php?c=h&p =113. The Hotel Wilshire is located at 6317 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angeles. For more information visit www.hotelwilshire.com or call (323) 852-6000. UP ON THE ROOF ON WILSHIRE. The Hotel Wilshires rooftop restaurant, The Roof on Wilshire, is the latest creation of celebrity Chef Eric Greenspan (The Foundry on
Melrose). Greenspans menu offers vibrant American dishes with innovative twists on classic comfort foods (Meatloaf Benedict with a poached egg and pretzel bread; Wilshire Grilled Cheese with Gruyere, date marmalade and roasted peppers on sourdough; crispy rice crackers tossed with tuna tartare, served with spicy salmon roe and sweet Japanese aioli), all of which can be enjoyed by an inviting re pit or in the shade of a poolside cabana with panoramic views of the Los Angeles skyline and the Hollywood Hills. Greenspan said, We want to provide a place where casual cuisine meets poolside. The Roof On Wilshire lls the void for guests to dine, drink, play and relax in the MidWilshire area. It is unlike any space in Los Angeles. Greenspans presence at the hotel will expand with Etage, a 40-seat second-oor restaurant with a view of Wilshire Boulevard. THE HOTEL WILSHIRE ELECTRIFIES PARKING. The Hotel Wilshire wants to make it easy for guests to be green. Present proof that you drive or have rented a hybrid or electric vehicle and receive complimentary overnight valet parking and use of the hotels electric charging stations. No electric car? No problem. Simply Hybrid, a hybrid and alternative-fuel car rental company just a few steps away at 6303 Wilshire Blvd. suite 205, rents a variety of hybrid vehicles and can make arrangements either to pick you up at the airport in the vehicle of your choice or have it plugged in at the hotel and waiting for you on your arrival. www.simplyhybrid.com or (323) 653-0011.

Pariah, writer-director Dee Rees feature debut, achieves a difficult, intriguing balance. Its at once raw and dreamlike, specic to a particular, personal rite of passage yet widely relatable in its message of being true to oneself. Adepero Oduye gives a subtly natural performance as Alike (pronounced ahlee-kay), a 17-year-old Brooklyn girl whos struggling to come out as a lesbian. Each day at school, she dresses the way that makes her feel comfortable in baggy T-shirts and baseball caps, and she pals around with her brash best friend, Laura (Pernell Walker), whos already happily out. But on the bus ride home, she must transform herself into the young lady her mother, Audrey (Kim Wayans), approves of and loves. You can see the weight of resignation hanging on her shoulders, the sadness in her eyes as she catches a glimpse of herself in the window. Audrey hopes arranging a new friendship with a colleagues daughter, Bina (Aasha Davis), will set Alike down a traditionally straight, female path, but this budding relationship only complicates matters further. While the two girls dont exactly bond at rst, Bina eventually becomes beguiling to Alike on a number of levels; their mutual fascination with each other would be believable even if theyd forged a simply heterosexual connection. But nothing is ever simple with girls at this age, and so there are gray areas, a phenomenon Rees herself clearly understands. Pariah isnt exactly an autobiographical tale for the lmmaker, but the struggle Alike endures is obviously quite personal to her. Simultaneously, Alikes home life is deteriorating, as her police ofcer father

(Charles Parnell) begins keeping suspiciously late hours; its a subplot that bogs things down and feels like a distraction from Alikes journey, a device to crank up the tension. The growing rift between mother and daughter certainly provides enough angst already, with Audrey remaining ercely closed-minded, even as Alike nally begins to feel free. Her story is inspiring to see, whether youre gay or straight and regardless of age or race; shes searching for her place in the world at a difcult, transitional time, something weve all experienced. Oduye is both melancholy and radiant in the role, and she makes you long for her character to finally find peace. And Bradford Youngs award-winning cinematography gives Pariah the gauzy, gorgeous feel of an urban fairy tale one in which our heroine doesnt necessarily live happily ever after, but at least she has hope. And she knows who she is. Pariah, a Focus Features release, is rated R for sexual content and language. Running time: 86 minutes. Three stars out of four.

Terrible January film releases

Heres a look at some of the worst January releases of the past decade. We had to narrow it down somehow, and even then it was difcult to choose just ve. Hold your nose and lets go: Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009): It made over $183 million worldwide, but that doesnt make it good. And whats so frustrating is that this dopey comedy is a dismal waste of the innate regular-guy likability of its star, Kevin James, who created the character. James plays a portly, Segway-riding shopping center security guard who pines for the hottie at the hair extension kiosk. Having repeatedly failed the New Jersey state trooper exam, he longs for action, and nds it when he gets caught up in a holiday bank heist thats a cheap knock-off of Die Hard. This being a Happy Madison Production Adam Sandler is James friend and domestic partner from I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry there are, of course, plenty of obligatory adolescent sight gags to go along with the man-child hero fantasies. Bride Wars (2009): Clearly, 2009 was off to an inauspicious start. Bride Wars represents everything thats wrong with a) wedding movies and b) modern romantic comedies in general. Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway co-star as lifelong best friends whove obsessively fantasized about the ideal wedding since they were children in small-town New Jersey. Because thats what all girls do, right? Lavish nuptials represent the zenith to which we all aspire. Then both get engaged within days of each other and accidentally book their weddings at New Yorks Plaza Hotel on the same date. An elaborate game of sabotage ensues, climaxing with a catght in which they rip each other apart in a screechy frenzy of hair and veils and silk. Bride Wars offers cliched stereotypes of female, catty materialism. Shockingly, two of the lms three writers are women. Kangaroo Jack (2003): Jerry OConnell and Anthony Anderson play a couple of racially mismatched buddies who go Down Under to the accompaniment of Men at Works Down Under, in case we couldnt gure out where they were and hit a kangaroo with their Jeep. Said marsupial (who isnt dead, but isnt exactly alive either, no thanks to some shoddy CGI work) gets up and hops away with the $50,000 theyre supposed to deliver in Australia as an assignment from OConnells mobboss stepfather, played by Christopher Walken. Thats right, Christopher Walken. Even he cant make this movie funny. This sets up a series of allegedly wacky adventures in which the two friends try to nd the kangaroo. Oh, and OConnell plays a hairdresser, so we have to suffer through lame gay jokes. And its a Jerry Bruckheimer production. The end. When in Rome (2010): I saw this when I was on maternity leave because it was playing that week at the Mommy and Me movie. My bleary-eyed nights of sleep deprivation were more fun. Like Bride Wars, When in Rome perpetuates yet another rom-com cliche I cant stand: the high-powered woman whos married to her job and too busy to look for love. Why movies like this, which ostensibly are for women, continue to peddle the insulting notion that a woman cant be fullled personally and professionally at the same time is beyond me. Anyway, Kristen Bell functions in this role as an art curator who travels to Rome for her sisters wedding. There, she suffers a curse while splashing in a fountain which makes her irresistible to a cadre of creeps. Even the hunky Josh Duhamel, as the best man, couldnt make this tolerable. Mad Money (2008): Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes have no business being in the same room with each other, much less co-starring in a heist comedy. And yet, here they are. Its essentially a chemistry-free rip-off of 1980s How to Beat the High Cost of Living, which starred Susan Saint James, Jane Curtin and Jessica Lange as friends who scheme to steal cash from a giant money ball at the mall. Here, the target is the Federal Reserve Bank where the three women work. Except for Latifahs character, whos barely scraping by and eagerly seeks a better life for her sons, its tough to muster much sympathy for any of these people. Worst of all is Holmes, whose dening trait is bopping around at work with her headphones on, dancing as she listens to music. Oceans Three, it aint.
Streaming Netflix, but what?

By Jake Coyle
NEW YORK Netixs streaming-video audience of more than 20 million subscribers has led many to label it a kind of digital TV network, and one that may grow into an HBO rival if its not already. But unlike television programming, which comes with viewing guides, DVR reminders and weekly picks from all manner of media, the Netix instant universe is a largely uncharted, Byzantine library prone to aimless clicking and haphazard double features. Navigating Netix remains a challenge. While its DVD library is extensive, its streaming offerings are a mishmash patchwork of high-prole new additions, familiar favorites and stray oddities. To be sure, its easily one of the best such catalogs available, but it remains a sliver of the possibility. Netix obviously knows this, and has worked to expand its streaming library, signing deals with movie studios and television networks. Its also pursuing original programming that it hopes will be an appetizing carrot to viewers, like it has been for HBO. In the works, among other shows, is an anticipated remake of the politi-
cal thriller series House of Cards, produced by David Fincher, and an episodic return for the cult comedy Arrested Development to air ahead of a planned theatrical movie. Since introducing its streaming option in 2007, Netix hasnt signicantly changed its Internet functionality, (though its tablet apps were recently redesigned). Finding out whats available is generally limited to specied searches (What Clint Eastwood movies could I watch right now?) or an awkward sifting through DVD-size photos, six or so at a time. Certainly, many viewers are immediately drawn to the ashiest offerings: the rst three seasons of Breaking Bad, the rst season of Downton Abby, all ve seasons of Friday Night Lights and the rst four seasons of Mad Men. As quality television has increased, few of us have been able to keep up with everything: Netix is a place to catch up on some of the shows weve been meaning to get around to. But what else? This week, Netix said subscribers watched more than 2 billion hours of movies and TV shows in the last three months of 2011. Surely, there is much more out there, but it takes some hunting. Early winter is, for many, a time to catch up on the Oscar favorites.
While most of that movie watching will need to take place in the theater, many of 2011s best documentaries can be streamed on Netix. The exceptional doc on Brazilian Formula One racing driver Ayrton Senna, Senna, is now available, as is the utterly charming Bill Cunningham New York, about the New York Times fashion photographer. Documentaries which need all the distribution they can get are generally plentiful on Netix. There are loads of PBS docs, classics like The Thin Blue Line and the more recent Man on Wire, and other high points of last year like Werner Herzogs Chauvet Cave exploration Cave of Forgotten Dreams and the eco-terrorist lm If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front. Netix has also been a breeding ground for cult comedy, particularly the short-lived Party Down which few watched when it was on the Starz network in 2009 and 2010. But the series, about a Los Angeles catering team of out-of-work actors, is better than most comedies currently on television. Youll recognize many of its stars: Adam Scott, Jane Lynch, Ken Marino and others. (If you want to go further into the past, theres also the rst six seasons of the still pitch-perfect The Larry Sanders Show.)

to create a ray of sunshine. Effort aside, proposed trigger cuts would mean a loss of $435 per student which is equivalent to three weeks of school. Though the governor promises to work with school ofcials to protect educational programs, this loss of funding would pose an enormous challenge for schools, for students and families and for each community at large. It makes planning extremely difficult, said Campbell. When it comes to higher education, community colleges have taken a number of hits in recent years. Next years projection shows a bright spot for local community college students as it doesnt call for an additional increase in fees. Per unit fees were already scheduled to increase from $36 to $46 this summer. Were really pleased to see that the governor has proposed a 4 percent annual increase from 2013 on, said Kathy Blackwood, interim executive vice chancellor for the San Mateo County Community College District. Blackwood explained the budget essentially continues the existing cuts in services and classes. Blackwood warned the budget is contingent on the taxes passing, and there are signicant doubts of that occurring. Should the trigger cuts occur, Blackwood estimated the district could take a hit in excess of $5 million. For now she remains optimistic, but will budget conservatively in case the midyear cuts need to be implemented.

SCHOOLS
ble trigger cuts, early education advocates are criticizing the plan which eliminates funding for transitional kindergarten a program scheduled to start this fall. The governor has offered us a difcult but clear plan to address the challenges we face. Even as it seeks to protect our schools from new across-theboard cuts, the budget lays out the stark choices that come with difcult times, State Superintendent Tom Torlakson said in a prepared statement. The proposed reductions to child care, to social services and to schools serving the blind and deaf would cause real harm to children and families who need and deserve our help. One cut questioned locally is the $223.7 million decrease in funding reecting the elimination of transitional kindergarten. Savings, according to the Department of Finance, will be used to support existing programs. Under the Kindergarten Readiness Act of 2010, authored by state Sen. Joe Simitian D-Palo Alto, students must be 5 years old to start kindergarten. The deadline for when students must turn 5 will be moved up by one month over the next three years. Moving up the registration deadline starts this fall. The legislation called for transitional kindergarten to be offered to students who will turn 5 after the deadline. Cutting the funding for the transitional kindergarten will delay access to education for an estimated
125,000 students this fall. The administrations budget proposal is a $700 million hit to K-12 education at the expense of 4 year olds and their families. The notion that a quarter of a million parents and their 125,000 children are no longer eligible to begin school in the fall is a non-starter, said Simitian. Young children have another hit as the budget calls for reductions in state-funded child-care programs. Here in San Mateo County our preliminary estimates indicate that well lose 25 percent of subsidized child-care slots, affecting over 1,000 of our countys preschool students, said County Superintendent Anne Campbell. Add to that a delayed implementation of transitional kindergarten and the impact on early care and education in San Mateo County will be profound. Overall, the budget does have minimal cuts to education compared to the $18 billion cut over the last five years. Campbell described the new plan as a denite effort to peek through the clouds
COUNTY
from a salary of $36,000 to $28,000, or 200 percent of the federal poverty level for a family of two. The county may be left subsidizing low-income families and children enrolled in Healthy Families, Groom said, and hundreds of families could be dropped from CalWORKS, the states work-for-welfare program. Groom said she is most worried about that hit on top of an 8 percent grant this past fiscal year. Families currently receiving an average of $430 per month in child-only aid 1,400 cases currently in San Mateo County will lose $115, or 27 percent. Thats no groceries or dont turn your PG&E on, Groom said. At least 75 percent of the countys 1,700 CalWORKS families may be disenrolled after two years instead of four and to remain enrolled a single parent will have to work and attend school 32 hours a week.
These reductions will affect thousands of the countys children for the rest of their lives.
Beverly Beasley Johnson,HSA director
The high cost of living, the high cost of raising a child and the instability of service jobs make meeting that goal challenging for some of these families, said Amanda Kim, spokeswoman of the Human Services Agencies. In the short term, the human toll of the cuts will be prolonged poverty, homelessness and burdens on groups that provide aid, said Beverly Beasley Johnson, HSA director. The long term will be a lifetime of limited education and achievement and poorer health. These reductions will affect thousands of the countys children for the rest of their lives, Johnson said. The countys courts are also bracing for $125 million in proposed cuts, coming on top of millions already taken by previous budgets. The proposals are alarming and shocking, said John Fitton, court executive ofcer of the San Mateo County Superior Court. The top priority is public safety but the cannot even meet its obligation to legal California students, Donnelly, R-Twin Peaks, said in a statement. California already allows illegal immigrant students to pay in-state college tuition if they graduate from a California high school and can prove they are on the path to legalize their immigration status. They cannot, however, apply for public or private nancial aid. Proponents said the two-part Dream Act shows California is more progressive than other states that are trying to punish illegal immigrants. The bills are different from the proposed federal note but did not reveal any actual weapons. He is in his late 20s or early 30s and is possibly Middle Eastern, police said. He had black hair and a full beard at the time the crimes were committed and was wearing reading glasses. He stands about 5 feet 7 inches and weighs 180 pounds, police said. The FBI, Davis Police Department and other affected local jurisdictions in
cuts put the courts in an extremely challenging position to provide essential justice, Fitton said. The courts have already cut clerk hours and shifted duties to accommodate the previous cuts. Fitton said the goal now is to prioritize cases, resolve pressing juvenile and family law issues as quickly as possible and protect employee jobs. The workforce is down 24 percent from 2008. Despite worry and frustration over the proposals, Groom said she thinks Brown doesnt take them lightly. I know the governor inherited a big decit and I still believe hes being honest about it, Groom said. I do think hes trying his darnedest to balance the budget.

DREAM
what is known as the California Dream Act took effect this year and allows private scholarships and loans for students who are illegal immigrants. This is disappointing news, but it is no less of a warning to Governor (Jerry) Brown and every Democrat legislator who voted to create a new entitlement program for illegals while the state still has a budget decit over $9 billion, and
Dream Act, which would include a path to citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants. The lesson is clear. California is a state that leads our nation forward, not backward, said Assemblyman Gil Cedillo, D-Los Angeles, who authored both parts of the California law. We are a state that prides itself on reconciling our differences rather than exacerbating them. He said the allowing illegal immigrant college students access to nancial aid would help the state provide employers with an educated work force. San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda and Sacramento counties are investigating the robberies, Davis police said. Police are asking anyone with information to contact authorities at the San Francisco FBI Field Ofce, (415) 5537400; the Sacramento FBI Field Ofce, (916) 481-9110; or the Davis Police Department, (530) 747-5400; or to call the US Bank security hotline at (800) 685-5515.
