Christian Burke is literally one cool customer. Tightening the laces on his ice skates, the teen glanced around and said he was hoping his skills would impress the girls. But while Burkes attitude was chill, the rink on which the 17-yearold planned to show off was not. In fact, the rink is not ice at all. Instead, its a plastic polymer that allows skaters to glide across with ease, just as if they were on a traditional plane of ice or even a lake amid a winter wonderland. The synthetic sheets, similar to a giant, white cutting board, are treated with

After eating a few extra pieces of pie, drinking some extra wine and spending lots of time with family, its probably time to get out of the house. Lets not count going to the mall as cardio. Even if its chilly, take advantage of the dry weather and do something there's no telling how long before the rainy season kicks in. Luckily, there are many options for activities in the Bay Area. How about a little exercise?
Nothing too strenuous. Maybe a brisk hike to start working off that pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce. Consider exploring Mills Canyon in Burlingame. The short trail would take an hour and dogs are welcome too. Or, take a drive to the coastside and explore the 140-acre Pillar Point Bluff near Moss Beach. Both offer beautiful scenery for those wanting to take in the crisp air without any additional costs. If putting on hiking boots doesnt get you excited, consider a trip

Ofcials say the ow of water has stopped and people are back in their homes after a break in a water main caused quite a mess in a South San Francisco neighborhood. A spokesman for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission says water started gushing out of 12-inch line pipe when it broke around 9:45 a.m. Friday. Besides sending a geyser of water into the air, the break also sent a tor-
rent of water and mud owing down local streets. SFPUC spokesman Charles Sheehan says crews were able to shut off the ow of water around 1 p.m. Friday. Sheehan says the residents of six homes were forced to evacuate, but they have been allowed to return home. Officials havent been able to determine what caused the break, or provide a cost estimate of the damage, but Sheehan says some cars were ooded.
San Carlos hospital site cleanup completed

Construction of medical center likely by summer
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Cleanup of a former industrial site in San Carlos is complete, readying the land for construction of a new medical center and afliated structures previously shelved for several years after the economy took a dive. The Palo Alto Medical Foundation now anticipates breaking ground on the Industrial Road
campus, which will initially include an urgent care clinic and parking garage, by the late spring or summer of next year at the latest. First, however, PAMF must get the regional water board to sign off on the cleanup, receive the necessary building permits from the city of San Carlos and transfer the land title. Completion is estimated at 2014 for the rst phase although the end
date cant be specically pinpointed until the project gets under way. City ofcials are excited to see this step completed and look forward to the coming groundbreaking and eventual construction, said Assistant City Manager Brian Moura. Their enthusiasm is not surprising, considering the project is sever-

Thought for the Day

Put something off for one day,and 10 days will pass.
Korean proverb
This Day in History

U.S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull delivered a note to Japans ambassador to the United States, Kichisaburo Nomura, proposing an agreement for lasting and extensive peace throughout the Pacic area. In 1789, this was a day of thanksgiving set aside by President George Washington to observe the adoption of the Constitution of the United States. In 1825, the rst college social fraternity, the Kappa Alpha Society, was formed at Union College in Schenectady, N.Y. In 1842, the founders of the University of Notre Dame arrived at the schools present-day site near South Bend, Ind. In 1910, two dozen young women were killed when re broke out at a muslin factory in Newark, N.J. In 1933, a judge in New York decided the James Joyce book Ulysses was not obscene and could be published in the United States. In 1943, during World War II, the HMT Rohna, a British transport ship carrying American soldiers, was hit by a German missile off Algeria; 1,138 men were killed. In 1950, China entered the Korean War, launching a counteroffensive against soldiers from the United Nations, the U.S. and South Korea. In 1965, France launched its rst satellite, sending a 92-pound capsule into orbit. In 1973, President Richard Nixons personal secretary, Rose Mary Woods, told a federal court that shed accidentally caused part of the 18-1/2-minute gap in a key Watergate tape. In 1986, President Ronald Reagan appointed a commission headed by former Senator John Tower to investigate his National Security Council staff in the wake of the Iran-Contra affair. Ten years ago: President George W. Bush appealed to Congress to outlaw human cloning after scientists in Worcester, Mass., reported they had created the rst cloned human embryo.

Oakland enlisted police help for protests

OAKLAND Oakland police got extra help from at least a dozen outside law enforcement agencies as the city ramped up for what became a tear gas-lled clash with Occupy Wall Street demonstrators last month, newly released records conrm. The city asked at least 15 agencies for support leading up to the early morning raid on the Occupy Oakland encampment at City Hall on Oct. 25. Those responding under the citys mutual aid agreements included the California Highway Patrol and the police department in Gilroy, about 75 miles south. After warning protesters they would be evicted if they did not leave the main camp, hundreds of law enforcement ofcers raided the encampment before dawn with tear gas and bean bag projectiles, and ultimately arrested more than 80 people. Images of police actions that day served to galvanize support for the Occupy movement after news emerged that the clash left an Iraq War veteran with serious injuries.

Black Friday warriors keep shopping

By Christina Rexrode
For true Black Friday warriors, Thanksgiving wasnt a day off, but a chance to prepare for battle. Lots of people meander to the mall on the day after Thanksgiving just to see what the fuss is about. Others get up early, drive to the closest big-box store, grab the laptop theyve been coveting and run back to bed. But the truly devoted skip out on family dinners. They print maps of the oor plans of their favorite stores. They shop straight through the night, fueled either by caffeine or just the thrill of the almighty discount. Those who are less fanatical about Black Friday would never dream of giving up their free time to go to one of the major stores like Macys, Target and Best Buy when they opened for the rst time at midnight or on Thanksgiving Day itself. But die-hard Black Friday shoppers pushed forward with elaborate shopping plans on Friday, the latest sign of just how far people will go to get a good deal in the weak economy. Millie Ayala, 28, and her two sisters barely got a chance to nish up their Thanksgiving feast before they headed to the Toys R Us in New Yorks Times Square to get in line at 5:30 p.m., more than three hours before the stores opening. The three sisters carried printouts of the stores ads and went over their strategy: Each would take one oor. Finances have been tough things are getting more expensive, said Ayala, a receptionist in New York. She has two daughters, ages 2 and 4, as well as nieces and nephews, and had saved about $220 for the shopping trip. But with Black Friday, things are a lot more affordable. Keith Harris, an IT consultant in Raleigh, N.C., also leaves his family dinner early on Thanksgiving to prepare for Black Friday. Just after 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving night, as he speeds his Ford pickup to the nearest Wal-Mart, he

doesnt have time to wonder if Christmas has gotten over-commercialized. When Christmas comes and youre able to give more than expected because you saved money on certain items, its a good feeling, says Harris, 38, who prints out maps of stores, scours ads weeks in advance and jokes that he wears sneakers on Black Friday because its easier to run for sales. Harris has been perfecting his Black Friday strategies for the past eight years. For instance, last year, he paid his 20year-old son and two teenage nephews $25 apiece plus breakfast to stand in line for him. This year, he found a way to get free labor: He talked his cousin, Tonia Glasco, into wheeling an extra cart at Wal-Mart for him. For Harris, the Black Friday bounty is worth it. At Walmart on Thursday evening, Harris and Glasco grab shopping carts, consult Harris map, and turn to the right down an aisle with telescopes and dolls. Harris is focused on his prey: a trampoline for his 8-year-old son, for $158, and a little convertible toy car for his 3-year-old daughter to drive, $99. Hes not sure of their original prices, but he gures he saves at least 30 or 40 percent off retail every year, which is why he keeps coming. Harris got the trampoline with no problem, but the car was a little more elusive. Another Black Friday warrior was sitting on a pile of four and told Harris he can have one after he helps her load a trampoline onto her cart. He seals the deal and gets the car. Meanwhile, the really fervent among the Black Friday die-hards give up Thanksgiving altogether. Lisette Rodriguez, 30, showed up at 9 p.m. Wednesday to stake out a spot in line at the Best Buy in Manhattans Upper East Side, which opened at midnight on Thursday. She and three other relatives took turns holding their spot for 27 hours: Rodriguez slipped out to say hello to other family members at a Thanksgiving meal before returning to the line.
SAN LEANDRO A robber shot a Black Friday shopper who refused to give up his purchases outside a Walmart store, leaving the victim hospitalized in critical but stable condition after one of several violent incidents in California that marred the annual bargain-hunting ritual, authorities said. Police in San Leandro, about 15 miles east of San Francisco, said the victim and his family were walking to their car around 1:45 a.m. when they were confronted by a group of men who demanded their shopping items. When the family refused, a ght broke out, and one of the robbers pulled a gun and shot the man, said Sgt. Mike Sobek. The suspects saw these guys, got out of their car and tried to rob them but were unsuccessful, Sobek said. At another Walmart in a wealthy suburb of Los Angeles, a woman trying to get the upper hand to buy cheap electronics unleashed pepper spray on a crowd of shoppers, causing minor injuries to 20 people, police said. The attack took place about 10:20 p.m. Thursday shortly after doors opened for the sale at the Walmart in Porter Ranch in the San Fernando Valley. The store had brought out a crate of discounted Xbox video game players, and a crowd had formed to wait for the unwrapping, when the woman began spraying people in order to get an advantage, police Sgt. Jose Valle said.

Companies giving GOP and regulators different messages

By Larry Margasak
WASHINGTON Large and small companies have told Republican-led congressional committees what the party wants to hear: dire predictions of plant closings and layoffs if the Obama administration succeeds with plans to further curb air and water pollution. But their message to nancial regulators and investors conveys less gloom and certainty. The administration itself has clouded the picture by withdrawing or postponing some of the environ-
mental initiatives that industry labeled as being among the most onerous. Still, Republicans plan to make what they say is regulatory overreach a 2012 campaign issue, taking aim at President Barack Obama, congressional Democrats and an aggressive Environmental Protection Agency. Republicans will be talking to voters this campaign season about how to keep Washington out of the way, so that job creators can feel condent again to create jobs for Americans, said Joanna Burgos, a spokeswoman for the House Republican campaign organization.

Bidens 2012 targets: Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida

WASHINGTON A year from Election Day, Democrats are crafting a campaign strategy for Vice President Joe Biden that targets the big three political battlegrounds: Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida, states where Biden might be more of an asset to President Barack Obamas re-election campaign than the president himself. The Biden plan underscores an uncomfortable reality for the
Obama team. A shaky economy and sagging enthusiasm a m o n g Democrats could shrink the electoral map for Obama in 2012, forcing his camJoe Biden paign to depend on carrying the 67 electoral votes up for grabs in the three swing states.
DES MOINES, Iowa They are barely blips in presidential polls and their campaign cash is scarce. Some are running on empty, fueled mainly by the exposure that comes with the blizzard of televised debates in this election cycle and interviews they eagerly grant to skeptical reporters. Yet the second-tier candidates for the Republican presidential nomination soldier on. They argue that the race is far from over and that anything can happen with polls showing a wide-open race in Iowa ve weeks before the Jan. 3 caucuses. Former Sen. Rick Santorum is typical when he resists the conventional wisdom that only candidates
with a lot of cash and a big campaign can win. I feel like Im doing what Im supposed to be doing and I feel like Im making a difference in the race, said Sanotrum, who barely registers in state surveys despite having campaigned in Iowa for more than a year. I absolutely believe our time will come and well have the opportunity to have the spotlight turned on us. Santorum, who represented Pennsylvania in Congress for 16 years, frankly acknowledges the possibility of a different outcome. If it doesnt, you know, it doesnt, he said. Even more than energy and determination, also-ran candidates rely on particular issues, free media and prospects for the future to drive
them to keep their small-scale operations going. With polls and money putting candidates like Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain atop the eld of Republican rivals, theres a crop of others likely to remain in the race until voters have their say. One force in that dynamic is the uidity of this years contest. Rep. Michele Bachmann, the Minnesota congresswoman, was among the many candidates who surged when they got into the race but then plummeted in the polls. Shes gotten feistier as her fortunes have sagged. I guarantee you, with everything within my being, I have the backbone, Bachmann said. Ill put my backbone up against any other candidate in the race.
AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF SURVIVAL, RESILIENCE, AND HOPE

On a crisp blue early January morning, Sheri G. sat on the railing just outside her boyfriends fth-story apartment, her feet dangling over the street beneath her. Alienated, angry, and depressed, shed done drugs most of the night, and a day after escaping yet another recovery program. She pleaded to no one around, Why cant I stop doing this? Whether a cry for help or an act of spite, she scooted forward just inchesout into the cool mid-morning air. And 50 feet down. Few people survive a three-story fall, let alone a ve-story plunge. Sheri shattered her ankle, fractured her back, ruptured her spleen, and lacerated her liver. Miraculously, she lived. Even more miraculous is what shes done since, overcoming her addiction and the mental illness that fed it. Sheri suffered what was diagnosed as bipolar affective disorder. Sheris father was a truck driver, her mother a homemaker. Her older brother excelled at sports. Her elder sister wore a homecoming queens crown. But at the young age of 11, Sheri started cutting herself, using self-torture to sedate her already emerging inner demons. At 14, her parents divorced. Not long after, her grandfather died. Her father became despondent. Sheri self destructed. In junior high, she started drinking. In high school, she began using hard drugs. She dropped out, seeking drugs even at the cost of selling herself. For a time, she lived in her Ford LTD. At one point, she weighed only 98 pounds. She eventually landed in prison for two years. Despite her seemingly bleak situation, Sheri earned her GED while in prison. She won a Spark Plug Award from her fellow inmates for being optimistic and the one among them who always seemed so willing to help. She emerged from prison with hopes of turning her life around in the outside world. But those hopes dimmed, and quickly. She worked, but had trouble keeping a job. With her mental state on a perpetual roller coaster, she led 10 W-2s with the IRS in one year alone. Over time, she was in and out of 22 different recovery programs. She was, as she described herself, a time-bomb ticking. Finally, during one holiday season, her employer sent her to a 30-day inpatient recovery program. In early January, she wound up in mental lockdown. She escaped, relapsed into drugs within hours, and sought refuge with her boyfriend. While he was in the shower, she went toand then overthe railing. She woke up in intensive care to discover her father crying at her bedside, a faint awareness she was loved, and a feeling that things were going to be ne. Her survival may have been astounding, but her recovery wasnt. She spent a month in intensive care and the next six on her back. She underwent four surgeries. She managed a series of parttime jobs but chronic pain kept her from working much. Now, years later, thanks in part to Caminar, the 49-year-old owns a hopeful future instead of a troubled past. In 2005, she attended Caminars Transition to College program. There, she met Jobs Plus program director Michael Schocket, who saw in Sheri someone who was eager, intelligent and, most of all, who had lived the experiences of so many Caminar clients. Sheri is now an employee of Caminars Jobs Plus employment program, helping individuals get established in new jobs even though, once upon time, she couldnt keep one of her own. She meets with each of her clients at least four hours a week, to make sure they understand their duties, their schedules, and the life skills it takes to make it in the workplace. One client with a severe stutter and learning disabilities had trouble looking people in the eye. Sheri spent time coaching her how to make personal contact. Today the 21-year-old is a courtesy clerk training to become a cashier. Despite her desperate leap into oblivion, Sheri has become a testament to the human capacity to overcome adversity. Shes enormously grateful to all those who helped her alonglike Caminarand shes focused her energies on helping others turn the corner as she did. You, too, can contribute to rebuilding lives, by giving generously to support Caminar. People like Sheri will be forever thankful. Approximately 90 of every dollar donated goes directly to support our program services.

OPINION
The Solyndra bankruptcy

Loveland (Colo) Daily Reporter-Herald
common mantra during the debates about bailing out the nancial industry and Detroit automakers was that the federal government was picking winners and losers, with the recipients of Washingtons cash being the winners. Unfortunately, the country is nding out the government bet too heavily on losers, too. What remains in question is whether the cash infusion given by the federal government to promote policy goals was also part of an effort to promote overly political goals, too. At the center of the controversy is the California-based solar technology com-
Other voices
pany Solyndra, which received a federal loan guarantee of $528 million to develop its renewable energy technology and ability to manufacture energyproducing panels. When the loan guarantee was announced, Energy Secretary Steven Chu attended the companys 2009 groundbreaking. Later, President Barack Obama went on a tour of the companys headquarters and touted it as a clean energy company upon which future economic growth could occur. Whats striking is the timing of the announcement of the companys implosion: Nov. 3, one day after the midterm
elections. If company ofcials delayed or were asked to delay their announcement because of the effect it would have on the general elections, such a move would be beyond the pale even in todays hyper-partisan Washington. Chu repeated that the Solyndra debacle was based more on poor timing and unforeseen events the reduction of solar demand in Europe and the proliferation of cheap products from China but as more information comes out, it could become apparent that a company working in lockstep with the administrations goals received treatment not equivalent with its business fundamentals. And that reeks of corruption.

Letters to the editor

Curious perspective
Editor, This is in response to the guest perspective Thoughts on Penn State tragedy by Friends for Youth Inc. in the Nov. 12 edition of the Daily Journal. When Coach Mike McQeary witnessed a crime he should have reported it to the police, period. The police could notify the school. I didnt recall seeing a letter to the editor from this organization before. San Mateo County just recently and for the last several years has had the Dr. William Ayres case in our courts and was covered by news media. He was a prominent San Mateo County employee who was accused of molesting a huge number of boys and 44 men were ready to testify. I went to the website they supplied and found there is no information on their director or advisory board. I nd it curious they comment on a national case but not a local one. then buffer zones, bubble zones and sign law ordinances to limit pro-life free speech. Why is it that the City Council waited over three years to consider this latest intimidating restriction against free speech? Have they had any major problems since they implemented the sign law ordinance that warrants this radical change? Fat chance! As far as I am concerned, the sign law ordinance, as it stands, is extremely restrictive and violates our free speech rights. It could be challenged and probably will be challenged in due time. Lastly, I would like to know the City Councils true motivation behind this rush to implement this latest restrictive provision in the citys municipal code. Is it a way to intimidate or discourage pro-lifers to protest at abortion clinics? Pro-lifers know that they could be easily falsely accused of violating the sign law ordinance and, I am sure that the City Council probably knows that it would discourage a lot of people from taking a chance to go to the abortion clinic to do pro-life work. Is this the City Councils master plan, to use intimidation, fear and outright harassment against a pro-lifer to limit free speech? Who cares, if such talk secures votes? Not only does waterboarding fail to work, but it preempts more effective, legal interrogation methods promoted by those who know what they are talking about. Besides being ineffective and counter-productive, waterboarding exposes us as barbarians and serves as an effective recruiting tool for our enemies. Never mind that former vice president Dick Cheney claims it works. Those who know, dont. Obviously, that doesnt include Cain and Bachmann. Then again, why would they know anything about waterboarding? The two dont know much about anything.

Terrorist suspects in American legal system

Editor, President Obama should veto the new National Defense Authorization Bill that is currently being considered by Congress. Individuals suspected of supporting Al Qaeda or the Taliban should be tried in a federal court. The two ad hoc courtrooms on the Naval Station Guantanamo Bay have processed only six cases in the last decade. Federal courts, however, have processed hundreds of cases related to terrorism since Sept. 11, 2001. The latter system is more legitimate, respected and consistent with our values as a liberal democracy. Trying terrorism suspects in federal courts enables our country to achieve security with justice.
Michael Stogner San Carlos
Free speech, not free

Editor, I want to express my strong opposition against the San Mateo City Councils attempt to amend the citys municipal code from infractions to misdemeanors (City slows effort to amend code enforcement rules in the Nov. 15 edition of the Daily Journal). This is excessive, extreme and intimidating against free speech. I have been doing pro-life work for the past 20 years and have watched our free speech being chipped away slowly but surely. First, there was the federal face law that passed in 1994, and since

Waterboarding, anyone?
Editor, During the latest Republican debate, both Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain advocated waterboarding (obviously appealing to ignorant, immoral voters from the right wing). Not only is waterboarding illegal torture and banned by President Obama, but it has been proved to be ineffective.

dont mean to be ippant about the Occupy movements across the land but I echo Colin Powells comment Theyre as American as apple pie. And, should be expected, I may add, if one is conversant with American history, not only the current negative propaganda of the privileged through their paid media people. When the wealth and power of any nation in the world becomes concentrated in the hands of the very few at the top, one should expect populist reactions. Witness the Arab Spring enveloping the Middle East, where the greater mass of the public has nally had it. Are the same symptoms here? When one has the middle and lower economic classes struggling to get by and get and hold jobs and the few at the top thriving as never before in our economic history, one would be a historical fool not to recognize it. In no way can it fairly be construed as an assault upon our economic system, itself, but how it has been warped through favorable legislation by both parties, unfair tax breaks and relief from scrutiny through the Gippers deregulation fantasies, bubbling vast amounts of national wealth up to the very few individuals, businesses and corporations at the top. The corruption and double-dealing of legislators of both parties is due to the unbelievably high costs of running for ofce that having them begging for money, irrespective of the contributors economic and/or political persuasion. Even Obama has been playing footsies with the nancial system instead of pressing for indictments of the clearly illegal conduct leading up to the Great Recession. This not an indictment of businesses that have garnered wealth through the creation of new innovations from McCormick and his Reaper, Ford and his autos to Apple, Microsoft and other dot-com innovators garnering nancial rewards as the creators of new products. This is an indictment of those who captured great wealth through tax and legislative favoritism and the risking and manipulation of other peoples money. There is nothing at all wrong with our current economic system that fairness and honesty cant redeem from its corruption by those whose patriotism is to the dollar, not the nation. Last week, I listed the points that such peaceful demonstrations take: First, ignored. Second, ridiculed: Unwashed hippies. Lazy. Looking for free handouts. Sexually loose. Hating capitalism, etc. That is not going to wash if the participants are fairly counted and assessed. There are all ages and races, including teachers and even peace ofcers participating. We are, now, in the third stage: Beatings, baton proddings, rubber bullets, tear gas and pepper spraying by peace ofcers, who one retired police captain recently declared, Work for and are part of the 1 percent. As they are in all populist uprisings. Witness, Libya, Egypt and Syria, currently. Then, some are killed and/or wounded, as in the Kent State University massacre by the Ohio National Guard. Finally, these incidents, such as the pepper spraying of peacefully demonstrating students at University of California at Davis last week arouse universal sympathy and support. And, as in the anti-Vietnam War and civil rights era of populist demonstrations, the rest becomes history. The upside is that we still live in the greatest nation created for the benet of its citizens in history, formulated under the toughest and fairest constitution in history. If its citizens practice the democracy made available to them, they have the mass of the voting power to correct the economic injustices for which the Occupy movements are demonstrating. However, if they buy what the economically privileged are selling in their highly funded propaganda, political spin and shifting of the blame to those who have suffered the most from this economic disaster we are in, then there is no hope. But Im still an optimist, remembering the words of Adlai Stevenson: Ultimately, the good sense of the American people prevails. This being the Thanksgiving period, I would be sorely remiss if I didnt give thanks that my family and I lived through what may be the apex of our nations economic greatness. Through the G.I. Bill, this son of money poor immigrants was able to graduate from one of the nations great universities and have the federal government guarantee a mortgage that put me in my own home at age 28. It was a period during which I was able to see both of my children earn Ph.D.s and, now, my two grandchildren on their way to the same. What we need to remember is the glory chant of most immigrant families: Only in America! Because Im a certied bleeding heart, teethed during the Great Depression, I wish the same for all coming generations. But that is not going to happen until the rest of us vote to restore fairness into our economic system.

Wall Street
The Dow fell 25.77 points, or 0.2 percent, to close at 11,231.78. Of the Dows 30 stocks, Chevron Corp. lost 1.6 percent Friday, the biggest drop. Travelers Cos. Inc. added 1.2 percent, the largest gain. The S&P 500 lost 3.12 points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,158.67. The Nasdaq composite dropped 18.57, or 0.8 percent, to close at 2,441.51. Trading volume was 1.6 billion, less than half the daily average. Markets were battered this week as governments in Europe and the U.S. struggle to tackle their debts. The Dow lost 248 points on Monday as a Congressional committee failed to reach a deal to cut federal budget decits. It plunged 236 points Wednesday after investors balked at buying German government debt. Retailers traded mixed on the Friday after Thanksgiving, the traditional start of the holiday shopping season and usually the busiest day of the year for retailers. Amazon.com Inc. dropped 3.5 percent. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. inched up 0.4 percent. A record number of people were expected to show up at stores this weekend to take advantage of deep discounts.

NEW YORK The worst week for the stock market in two months ended with a whimper in thin trading Friday. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 4.8 percent this week, while the broader Standard & Poors 500 index fell 4.7 percent. Both had their worst weeks since Sept. 23. Major indexes wavered throughout Fridays session, which was shortened because its the day after Thanksgiving. Worries about Europes debt crisis ared up again after Italy had to pay 7.8 percent to borrow for two years at a debt auction. Its another sign that investors are increasingly hesitant to lend to European countries. The euro slipped to $1.32, losing 2 percent this week against the dollar. The drop puts the euro at its lowest level since Oct. 4. Higher interest rates on government debt of Italy, Spain and other European countries have rattled stock markets in recent weeks. When borrowing costs climb above the 7 percent threshold, it deepens investor fears about a governments ability to manage its debts. Greece, Ireland and Portugal had to seek nancial lifelines when their interest rates crossed the same mark.
Airlines cut small jets as fuel prices soar

By Joshua Freed
MINNEAPOLIS The little planes that connect Americas small cities to the rest of the world are slowly being phased out. Airlines are getting rid of these planes their least-efcient in response to the high cost of fuel. Delta, United Continental, and other big airlines are expected to park, scrap or sell hundreds of jets with 50 seats or fewer in coming years. Small propeller planes are meeting the same fate. The loss of those planes is leaving some little cities with fewer ights or no ights at all. The Airports Council International says 27 small airports in the continental U.S., including St. Cloud, Minn., and Oxnard, Calif., have lost service from well-known commercial airlines over
the last two years. More shutdowns are planned. Travelers in cities that have lost service now must drive or take buses to larger airports. That adds time and stress to travel. St. Cloud lost air service at the end of 2009 after Delta eliminated ights on 34-seat turboprops. Now, passengers from the city of 66,000 have a 90-minute drive to the Minneapolis airport 65 miles to the southeast. Roger Geraets, who works for an online education company based near St. Cloud., ies at least twice a month from Minneapolis. He used to connect from St. Cloud. Now he drives, leaving an extra half hour for bad trafc. There are other headaches. Parking at St. Cloud was free, but in Minneapolis it costs $14 per day. And getting through airport security in Minneapolis takes longer. Another city without service is Oxnard, 60 miles northwest of Los Angeles, which lost three daily turbo-
prop flights operated on behalf of United. The airports website advises travelers to catch a bus to Los Angeles International Airport. Atilla Taluy, a tax preparer who lives in Oxnard, ends up driving or taking the shuttle to Los Angeles. In morning trafc, it becomes quite a burdensome trip, he says. Pierre, S.D., will lose Delta ights to Minneapolis in mid-January. Pierre ofcials are waiting to nd out whether those ights will be replaced or whether the city will be left with only Great Lakes Airlines ights to Denver. The Denver ights add almost 600 miles in the wrong direction for people who want to y from South Dakotas capital to Washington, D.C. I dont know if they really care about (passengers) in the small markets, says Rick Steece, a consultant for the Centers for Disease Control who travels overseas from Pierre two to three times a year.
More post-crash battery fires involving Chevy Volt

By Joan Lowy
WASHINGTON A safety investigation of the lithium-ion batteries in General Motors Co.s Chevrolet Volt is under way to assess the risk of re in the electric car after a serious crash, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday. One Volt battery pack that was being closely monitored following a government crash test caught re Thursday, the safety administration said in a statement.
Another crash-tested battery emitted smoke and sparks, the statement said. GM, which was informed of the investigation on Friday, said in a statement that the Volt is safe and does not present undue risk as part of normal operation or immediately after a severe crash. The res are in addition to a battery re in a crash-tested Volt six months ago. NHTSA learned of a possible re risk involving damaged Volt batteries in June when a re erupted in a Volt that was being stored in a parking lot a test facility in Burlington, Wis. The re was
severe enough to cause several other vehicles parked nearby to catch re as well. The car had been subjected to a sideimpact crash test more than three weeks earlier, on May 12, during which the battery was damaged and its coolant line ruptured. Last weeks tests of three battery packs were designed to replicate the May test. In that test, the Volt was subjected to a simulated side-impact collision into a narrow object like a tree or pole followed by a rollover, the agency said.
Italys borrowing rates skyrocketing

By Frances Demilio and Colleen Barry
ROME A week into his new job, Premier Mario Monti is running out of time to reassure nervous investors that his government has a strategy to deal with Italys crippling debts. The nations borrowing rates skyrocketed Friday after a grim set of bond auctions, with a new auction looming
Tuesday. Another borrowing debacle could ratchet up fears that Italy has entered a debt spiral driving it toward bankruptcy and the 17-nation eurozone into its most acute crisis yet. Montis government of so-called technocrats is battling to convince investors that it has a successful strategy to reduce the countrys (euro) 1.9 trillion ($2.6 trillion) debt. But Fridays dismal bond auction results for the eurozones third largest economy tem-
porarily battered Europes stock markets. The auction outcome also is likely to fuel calls for European Union officials to do more to jump-start economic growth and the European Central Bank to use more firepower to cool down a rapidly escalating debt crisis. We still havent found a response that reassures investors, said Jose Manuel Barroso, head of the European Commission.

A day after Thanksgiving in the Central Coast Section Division I seminal, Menlo-Atherton looked like a football team that was still starving starving for the end zone that is. The Bears, behind a 481-yard rushing performance, feasted on touchdown after touchdown after touchdown until they could no longer t anymore 6-point helpings into their bellies. And when the festivities were over, M-A had found the end zone seven times en route to a 49-14 drubbing of Salinas. With the win, the Bears booked a spot at the
big-kids table next weekend in the CCS Division I title game where theyll play the Milpitas/Serra winner. Itll be M-As fth time in the championship game. They are 2-2 in previous appearances. The O-Line and D-Line played one hell of game, said M-A head coach Sione Taufoou, who has the Bears in the title game two years after taking over a 1-9 program. The running backs ran with a lot of heart. The kids just played well together. Its unbelievable how far theyve come this year and were extremely excited for next week. Taufoou is being modest when talking about his lines Salinas had absolutely no answer for
M-A up front. Offensively, the holes were huge the majority of the day. And defensively, Salinas quarterback Matt Leighton was harassed constantly. The Cowboys duo of Raymond Cerda and Beau Schuler came in with a combined 1,520 yards in 2011. On Friday, they only managed 115 the bulk of it coming against M-As second unit. We just played together, said M-A safety Dustin Nascimento of his defense. Its going back to the fundamentals, remembering to run to the ball, just basic things that we know we can do. We just tried to worry about ourselves, play
In preparing for Fridays CCS Division II playoff game against Pioneer, South San Francisco head coach Frank Moro told his boys he found a photograph of his now-senior class as sophomores. This was a group of guys that didnt have much success as sophomores, he said. But theyve worked hard. And perhaps its that maturation, the hours spent turning inferior skill into football moxie, that made last nights 28-7 loss to the Mustangs that much harder to swallow for the Warriors. The term is bittersweet because the defeat hurt, but to a man, as senior after senior stood up in front of his team to thank them for a season of hard work, each one of them realized how special this group of Warriors is. And perhaps the lasting image of Friday night was the South City players on bended knee listening to Moro wrap up the season as tears welled up in his their eyes and one by the one, the South City fans trickled in, created a halo of sorts around the Warriors in the North end zone. That picture there is one Moro takes with him now. This team works hard, these guys fought, they worked together and theyre tough, Moro said. This team has come a long way and they became a good team. Unfortunately for the Warriors, they came into Fridays contest facing a Pioneer group that is peaking at the right time. That in itself is was a disadvantage for the lower seed Warriors. But South City was not a 100 percent, not by a long shot. We were banged up, Moro said. This is a different team than what weve playing with during the year. Guys had to step up and the competition level got up there. A handful of South Citys key cogs were either out (Jerick Anicete, Chris Cunha) or questionable (Anthony Shkuratov, Ahmad DeGuzman) for Fridays game. It would

Dons have no answer for Los Gatos

Aragons James Egan stiff arms a Los Gatos defender during the Dons39-6 CCS loss.
LOS GATOS Aragons success against Los Gatos Friday night was dependent on the Dons solving a simple math equation: 3x4=12. The Dons would need to pick up three yards on every offensive play to have a chance at beating the Wildcats. That did not compute with Los Gatos. Not only did the Dons fail that test, the Wildcats offered their own solution: 6 divided by 32, with six being the number of touchdowns the Wildcats scored and 32 the number of plays they ran. In the end, it added up to a 39-6 Los Gatos victory, sending the Wildcats in the Central Coast Section Division II championship game. The difference was, we got zero push (on the offensive line), said Aragon coach Steve Sell. We couldnt get three (yards per carry). It may not have made difference any way. The Dons simply could not stop the Los Gatos offense. The Wildcats scored roughly once

every ve times they snapped the ball, and every score had a theme the big play. The Wildcats ripped off six plays of 30 yards or more, with runs of 57, 77, 66 and 41, and passing plays of 66, 38 yards. The rest was up to Los Gatos running back Garret Zeiter, who scored ve of the Wildcats six touchdowns and gashed the Dons for 209 yards rushing on just 17 carries. Los Gatos rushed for 333 yards and nished with 466 yards of total offense. This is a team that can run the football like no other, Sell said of the Los Gatos offense. We havent seen a team that could line it up and run it like that. We loaded up the line of scrimmage
(defensively) and we tried to overplay the run. The Los Gatos throwing-catching combination of Bryan Rose and Teddy Enfantino threw another factor into the equation. The two hooked up twice for 102 yards, with Enfantino making two tremendous over-thehead catches. His first reception set the Wildcats rst score. In the second quarter, Rose hit Enfantino in stride on a perfect post pattern and turned it into a one-play, 66-yard quick strike to all but put the Dons out of their misery, leading 32-0 with four minutes to play in the second quarter. Sell said his plan was to try and control the clock and keep the Los Gatos offense off the eld by running the ball between the tackles. The Wildcats defense shut down the perimeter, negating the Dons y sweeps, and when they shut down the Dons inside power game, it was clear what the nal outcome would be. Aragon managed only 61 yards and four rst downs in the rst half.

Stanford,ND clash in finale Raiders prep to face Bears

By Antonio Gonzalez
STANFORD Andrew Luck has had unparalleled success in college football the last three seasons, so its only tting that Stanford gives the most sought after NFL prospect a rare sendoff. The celebrated star on Senior Day will be the redshirt junior. In what will likely be his last game at Stanford Stadium, Luck leads the fourth-ranked Cardinal against streaking No. 22 Notre Dame on Saturday night, giving the regular-season nale a national stage for both teams and the star quarterback to leave a lasting memory and perhaps provide a launching point for bigger things ahead. I dont want to get caught up thinkAndrew Luck ing, Oh, last time here and then go out and play a terrible game, said Luck, the NFL drafts projected No. 1 overall pick who has insisted he wont return. My only focus is beating Notre Dame. How the nale goes will likely dene each teams season. Stanford (10-1, 8-1 Pac-12) has a chance to secure a BCS bowl berth and keep alive its slim chances of a national title. The Fighting Irish (8-3) can improve on last years win total and show real progress in coach Brian Kellys second season. Luck or the Irish? In the end, only one will feel satised. Its not a referendum on our season, but its another step towards where we want to be in consistency in November, Kelly said. Weve done very well in
November and we want to continue to build on that in this game against Stanford. Emotions will be pouring all over the eld. Stanford is including fourth- and fthyear players in Senior Day celebrations before the game to honor several starters with a year of eligibility remaining who will likely not be back, including Luck, left tackle Jonathan Martin and guard David DeCastro. All are expected to be rst-round picks in the NFL draft. The celebration also has some special twists. Stanford will be wearing the Nike Pro Combat uniforms for the rst time, featuring a deeper version of Cardinal red from top to bottom and replacing white helmets with black ones. The tomahawks helmet stickers are gone. And if No. 9 Oregon loses to Oregon State earlier in the day, Stanford would host the Pac-12 title game and Luck and the rest of his teammates will get another crack at home next week. Weve got to take care of Notre Dame. You cant be worrying about other things, DeCastro said. But Im sure the news will make its way around the locker room. Even without a Pac-12 title, a chance to play for the BCS championship is still there. Stanford coach David Shaw railed against the system earlier this week when, after four teams ahead in the rankings lost, the Cardinal only moved up to No. 6 in the BCS standings. For Stanford to have any shot, it likely needs Alabama to lose to Auburn and Oklahoma State to drop its home nale against Oklahoma. Beating Notre Dame is still paramount. The Irish have rolled off four straight
victories since losing to Southern California and would likely be playing for a BCS bowl berth if they had won just one more game. Instead, theyll settle for an opportunity to reclaim some of the national spotlight. A victory would vault Note Dame beyond last years win total and give the program a chance at a 10-win season in the bowl game. Notre Dame hasnt beaten a top-ve opponent since a 17-10 victory over Michigan on Sept. 10, 2005, and would love nothing more than to end that drought. I dont want to build it up that much, said Notre Dame safety Harrison Smith, one of several Irish players infected by the u bug in recent weeks. Theyre obviously one of the best teams in the country, and were going to get a crack at them at their home. So its denitely a big game for us and one that we look forward to. Notre Dame and Stanford are on opposite ends of major injuries. The Irish lost senior running back Jonas Gray to a knee injury last week, clearing the way for Cierre Wood part of a powerful one-two combination to become the featured back. The Cardinal, meanwhile, are expected to get back tight end Zach Ertz after he missed the last three games with a right knee injury. Of greater importance for Stanford is stopping star receiver Michael Floyd. Big, fast wideouts have given Stanfords secondary ts all season, and Floyd will provide the latest test. The Irish will face an even bigger challenge defensively. Lucks methodical way of shredding defenses has become a staple. He often calls his own plays, audibles and can control a game like no other player in the nation.

ALAMEDA The last time the Oakland Raiders faced Devin Hester and the Chicago Bears, former coach Lane Kifn memorably promised to challenge the NFLs most dangerous returner and did not pay the price for doing so. There are not the same bold proclamations coming out of Oakland this week as the Bears prepare to play their rst game with backup quarterback Caleb Hanie at the helm in place of injured starter Jay Cutler. With the situation theyre in right now, I am going to try not to let him touch it, All-Pro punter Shane Lechler said. Because they got a new quarterback this week, losing Jay, theyre looking for a spark somewhere. And I dont want that spark to be against our punt team. I think the best thing to do is go neutral on this deal, and lets play defense, and get through it like that. Coach Hue Jackson said Hester can change a game in the snap of the ngers and he wished he could have 20 players on his coverage units to contain him. Jackson said he hasnt decided yet whether he will kick to Hester but acknowledged that sometimes there is no choice because of the situation in the game, so the Devin Hester team must prepare for it. Were not going to run from a challenge from anybody and thats the way it is, he said. But well be smart about the challenge. Well be smart about the ghts we pick. The Raiders gave Hester eight chances to return the ball in their 17-6 loss in 2007. He returned one kickoff from 8 yards deep in the end zone and only managed to make it out to the 11. He also twice lost 4 yards on punt returns. Hesters one big play, a 64-yard punt return, was wiped out by a holding call. He nished the day with 14 yards on six punt returns and 34 yards on two kickoff returns. That was the only time since Hesters rookie year that he had six punt returns in a game, as most teams choose either to kick the ball out of bounds, or high and short, to prevent him from getting a chance at another highlight. In his two six-return games as a rookie in 2006, he averaged 17.9 yards per punt return with an 83-yard touchdown against Arizona. Thats why Lechler called Hester a scary guy to punt to and ranked him alongside Dante Hall as the most dangerous returners he has faced in 12 years in the NFL. Hes got top-notch vision, Lechler said. He sees cuts way down the eld. He sets up blocks very well, probably one of the better guys that sets up blocks across the league. Hes just a guy that we want to try to neutralize and not let him hit the home run against us. Hester has more home run returns than any player in NFL history, with 17 in less than six full seasons. His 13.1-yard average on punt returns is the highest in NFL history. Raiders safety Mike Mitchell called Hester the second-best return man in football, behind teammate Jacoby Ford, who has four kick returns for touchdowns in less than two seasons as a pro. But Mitchell also said Hester should be as worried about Lechlers big leg and the Raiders coverage unit as they are with him this week. We have a guy who can punt a ball 60 yards in the air. Were going to take every advantage of that, Mitchell said. We have the biggest, fastest guys in the league covering our punts. We just have to get down eld and outrun their protection team and make tackles. After he gets machine gunned a couple of times hes not going to be too quick to return punts. The Raiders have allowed a pair of punt return scores this season, both to Denver. Oakland has allowed 14.5 yards per return, fth worst in the league. But the players on the coverage units welcome the challenge of facing Hester and see no need for the Raiders to kick the ball out of bounds. Hes going to be there no matter what, linebacker Quentin Groves said. You can kick it left, you can kick it right, you can kick it down the middle. Hes going to still be there. Everybodys tried it. You see guys have tried to kick it away from him. Theyve tried to do everything, pooch kick, and it still doesnt work. You just have to man up and be a man about it and just play. Bears coach Lovie Smith has seen all sorts of strategies when it comes to dealing with Hester and is not surprised teams still give him chances despite his record-setting success. I think its hard to go into meetings and tell your punt team that, Hey guys, we dont think youre good enough so were going to have to kick it out of bounds because we dont think you can tackle one guy down on the other end, Smith said. I just dont think you can go in and do that very often. So, I assume a lot of teams have kicked it to

our own game. Were not trying to play anyone elses game but ours. Playing as a family helped us come out with the win. M-A showed the Cowboys just what kind of day it was going to be right out of the gate. After stopping Salinas on a three-andout and a shanked punt, the Bears got the ball at the Salinas 25. Four plays into the drive, Willy Fonua handed the ball to Cameron Moody who glided untouched into the end zone from 12 yards out for the games initial score. A little over two minutes after that, after another defensive three-and-out, Moody added to his touchdown tally with a sensational 48-yard touchdown run. After getting into the defensive second level, he put a serious juke on the Salinas safety that probably still has him wondering where his ankles are. It was clear Salinas had no answer defensively for the Bears, but M-A spent a while during their next couple of drives shooting themselves in the foot with penalties and turnovers. M-A eventually stopped being its worst enemy and with 9:59 left in the second quarter, Taylor Mashack got into the scoring action, running the ball in from 85 yards out on what has to be one of the best runs of the entire season. Mashack had three or four Salinas defenders all over him at about the 23-yard line. But Mashack pulled a Houdini, fought off the tackles and sprinted down the left sideline for the score. In a football game highlighted big plays, it was Mashacks that shined the brightest. Mashack wasnt done. Three minutes after his gem of a score, he was at it again, this time exploding through the right side and into the end zone from 53 yards away to make it 28-0. Thats my boy right there, Moody said of Mashack. We knew we had to put the team on our back, especially early on with the running game and open it up for our wide receivers to make plays. We were successful on the ground, so there was no need to change things up today. It wasnt just Moody and Mashack. Tasi Teu go in on the fun on the next M-A drive his 49-yard run set up the Bears with rst and goal at the seven. On the next play, Fonua found Evan Perkins on the out pattern for a touchdown. Theres just something about it, theyre just ready to go, Taufoou said of his teams fast start. They play really hard. Salinas did score right before recess to make it 35-7. But it was a half dominated by the Bears. M-A outgained the Cowboys 34591, with 305 of those yards coming on the ground. Things didnt get any better for Salinas. Two plays into the second half, Moody shot out of a cannon and into the end zone again for a 66-yard touchdown fun run, his third of the day. Moody nished with 231 yards rushing on 14 carries. Mashack, who came out of the locker room for the second half without his shoulder pads, had all 152 of his yards on only four carries. Teu scored M-As nal touchdown, punching his way from a yard out with 3:10 left in the third quarter. The M-A defense forced three interceptions and a fumble. This marks the sixth time theyve kept an opponent to 14 points or lower.
WARRIORS
have been nice were we at full speed, Moro said. Ahmad was thinking about going, but he just couldnt. Anthony tried, and he just couldnt. And those are two big guys, theyre a big part of the gameplan. We were noticing during the week that they werent going to be there and maybe hoping that they would. But ... I told these guys in CCS football a lot of times its who comes into this thing healthy. You come in a little banged up, and the other team is 100 percent, theyre going to have an advantage. Of course, South Citys lack of health does not take away from the efciency in which the Mustangs ran their offense, especially in the rst half. Pioneer came out and in 2:26 drove the ball 60 yards in ve plays for the games initial score, a 26-yard touchdown pass from Drew Fryhoff to Mike Simonini. Pioneer than executed an onside kick to get the ball right back. This time it took them 14 plays to nd the end zone again. By the time South City touched the ball offensively, the Mustangs had wiped 10 minutes off of the rst quarter. And South Citys rst possession didnt last very long ve plays in and they were punting the ball back to Pioneer. The Warriors did buckle down on the defense. Pioneers next drive started at their one, but stalled at the South City 26. Unfortunately for the Warriors, there wasnt much doing against the Mustang defense. Last week against El Camino, Pioneer surrendered 116 yards of total offense and pitched a shutout. They continued to ride that defensive momentum against South City. Brad Los was intercepted on the ensuing drive. The Warriors following drive was a three-and-out. For the half, South City managed 42 yards of total offense

on 13 plays Pioneer racked up 209 and ran three-times as many plays from scrimmage. We started off by giving them a long drive and then we give up an onside kick, Moro said. We kind of put things together, made a few adjustments, got a few stops, its just, a couple of things offensively if we could have got things going it might have been a little different. We had guys stepping up, but not quite at the level that we needed them to. Down by only two scores with a entire half to play, the Warriors really dug themselves a huge hole when Keven Cunha fumbled on South Citys rst play from scrimmage to start the third quarter. The Mustangs recovered the ball and three plays later turned it into a touchscoring drive against Los Gatos secondunit defense. Blood showed a hint about the future when he hit Aldo Severson with an 16-yard scoring pass to get Aragon on the board with 2:25 left to play. The Aragon offense played better in the second half as the Dons doubled their output from the rst half. Despite seeing the season come to an end, Sell was pleased with the teams performance in 2011. With the Dons moving into the Peninsula Athletic Leagues Ocean Division for the rst time in school history, Sell there was no down. With the Warriors struggling offensively, that turnover-turned-points was the dagger. South City showed ght though. On their next drive, they got down to the Pioneer 31 before turning the ball over on downs. Their continued hard work paid off on the next drive when Cunha scored on the second play of the fourth quarter to draw South City to within two touchdowns at 21-7. The Warriors attempt at an onside kick failed and the South City defense held. But the Mustangs took that shift in momentum and crushed it by forcing a turnover on downs on the next series. The nail in the cofn came with 5:05 left in the game on a 3-yard touchdown run by Tyler Compani to make it 28-7. way he thought the Dons would win nine games this season. After last year (a 4-6 record), this was an important bounce-back year, Sell said. The Dons nine wins this year was the most since winning nine in 2007. He said it was especially satisfying to see this years senior class end their high school careers on a good note after three not-so-great seasons. They beat San Mateo, they Hillsdale and they won a CCS playoff game (this season), Sell said. Thats a pretty good year.

CINCINNATI Up by only a point at halftime, No. 3 Stanford went to its best option to blow open the game The Cardinal got the ball inside to Nnemkadi Ogwumike, who dominated under the basket and scored a season-high 34 points Friday, leading the way to an 80-64 victory over Xavier. The Cardinal (4-1) shook off a 10point loss at No. 2 Connecticut on Monday and a slow rst half against Xavier (1-3), which did a good job clamping down on the perimeter. The Musketeers couldnt handle Ogwumike once she got going. I think maybe it was too much Nneka, coach Tara VanDerveer said. Stanford had a tough time shooting

at UConn, making 37 percent from the eld. The Cardinal was 1 of 10 from behind the arc in the rst half against Xavier, which had a couple of brief leads and kept it close by containing Ogwumike. The senior forward didnt sense any hangover from the UConn loss. It almost seems people are more focused because of what happened, she said. What we learned is it shouldnt take us playing the way we were on Monday to focus. It gives the young players perspective on what its going to be like if we want to get to where Stanford is used to being. I think the focus was totally ne. The focus at the start of the second half was Ogwumike, who made bank shots, hit a fadeaway jumper and had putbacks during a 19-5 run that put
the Cardinal in control. She scored 11 of Stanfords 15 points in the half and finished with a game-high 13 rebounds. Nneka is a phenomenal basketball player, rst-year Xavier coach Amy Waugh said. Shes an All-American who just plays so hard on every possession. We tried to limit her around the basket as much as we can, dare her to shoot some jump shots. Shes just very relentless and continued to go at us. Lynette Holmes led Xavier with 18 points. The schools have played in each of the last three seasons, with Stanford winning all three. The series started with a memorable moment for both programs Jeanette Pohlens layup at the buzzer giving Stanford a 55-53 win in the NCAA tournament regional nals in 2010.

Aaron Bright had 13 points for Stanford, which led 60-54 with 4:27 to go on two free throws by Chasson Randle. Brandon Triche, who finished with 11 points, started the Oranges big run with a drive. C.J. Fair followed with a three-point play after a turnover and Joseph gave Syracuse the lead for good, 61-60, with a banked jumper with 2:54 to go. Scoop Jardine added 14 points for the Orange, and Fair and Dion Waiters, the two reserves who led the semifinal win over Virginia Tech, both had 10 points. Syracuse shot 46.7 percent for the game from the eld (28 of 60), including 17 of 28 (60.7 percent) in the second half. Randle had 12 points for the Cardinal, who beat Oklahoma State in the seminals, while John Gage added a career-high 10, six more than he scored all season.

SAN FRANCISCO So much for that popular Harbaugh family catchphrase, Whos got it better than us? Nobody! It had a different ring for Jim Harbaugh on Friday. John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens absolutely had it best Thursday night. No cross-country travel to play on three daysrest. No meetings or lm sessions on an airplane. No hostile environment against them in prime time. Still, Jim Harbaugh accepts the fact his San Francisco 49ers (9-2) might have lost to his big brother regardless even had it been a Sunday Jim Harbaugh game in Candlestick Park with a full week to prepare. The fact that we were the road team and we had to travel across country, that put us at a competitive disadvantage, Harbaugh said Friday of the 16-6 defeat. Im not whining, Im not making excuses, its just the truth. We knew it, we had to overcome it and we werent able to. And that was a good football team. I think it will make us stronger going forward. The Harbaugh brothers typically speak on the phone once a week to rehash their respective games. Sometimes its Sunday night, or per-
haps Monday because of the time difference, and occasionally not until Tuesday. Jim is unsure when that conversation might take place after Baltimore snapped San Franciscos eight-game winning streak in the hyped-up game that marked the rst time in NFL history siblings opposed each other as head coaches. I dont have a plan, the rst-year NFL coach said. There are more pressing matters at the moment than friendly family chats. Such as guring out what happened with an overmatched offensive line that allowed nine sacks of Alex Smith. The NFC West-leading 49ers made their share of mistakes to miss key opportunities. Harbaugh insists his team will learn from it. He knows the loss stung for his players, who are closing in on the franchises rst playoff berth and winning record since 2002. They hadnt lost since a 27-24 overtime defeat to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2, so that had to feel a little strange. And San Francisco had won its initial four road games, all on the East Coast. Not everybody feels the same. Everybodys different, Harbaugh said of the reaction. Im not a psychologist and wasnt going around checking the whites of everybodys eyes to see how bad they felt or didnt feel. The men put a lot into it. They were disappointed. That I could see. Theyll bounce back. This is a team thats a resilient team and well learn from it.

How Trees Benet Our Health While Absorbing Air Pollutants

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

A win over the Bulldogs would assure the Tigers their third trip to the BCS title game in nine seasons. Though at this point, LSU might be able to get there even if it loses.

Cannon also made a game-sealing tackle on defense late in that game. Mathieu, who was playing safety instead of cornerback much of the game because of Eric Reids injury the previous week, had defensive highlights of his own, forcing two turnovers with strips, one of which he recovered.

AUBURN, Ala. Tailback Trent Richardson isnt among those assuming No. 2 Alabama will just roll over its biggest rival on the way to a possible national title shot. He knows Auburn has heard such talk, too. The Crimson Tide is a three-touchdown favorite going into Saturdays meeting at Jordan-Hare Stadium, and the defending champion Tigers have barely put up a ght against their last few highly ranked opponents. Plus, Alabama (10-1, 6-1
Southeastern Conference) has everything to gain, the Tigers (7-4, 4-3) nothing to lose. All that makes Richardson wary. Its going to make them more dangerous because everyone counted them out, he said. You cant look at them like were going to whip them, because they dont have anything to lose. Theyre going out there throwing every punch they can. This is clearly not the same Auburn team that could be losing on all the scorecards and suddenly start slamming home roundhouses last season. Theres no Cam Newton to dig the Tigers out of a 24-point hole as he did

in the 2010 Iron Bowl. No Nick Fairley to smash opposing ballcarriers and quarterbacks. No chance? Probably not if they let the Tide score the games rst 24 points again. This year were not going to spot anybody 24, Tigers tailback Mike Dyer vowed. Were going to play Auburn football. They couldnt muster much of a challenge at Georgia, LSU and Arkansas losing those games collectively by a whopping 111 points. Alabama beat the Razorbacks 38-14, the Tigers lost to them by the same score.

Glory days for soccer in tiny American Samoa

APIA, Samoa Two days after winning for the rst time in its soccer history, American Samoa stretched its unbeaten run to two games. After Tuesdays 2-1 victory over Tonga, American Samoa drew 1-1 with the Cook Islands on Thursday. Another win against rival Samoa on Saturday will put the U.S. protectorate into the second round of World Cup qualifying in the Oceania region. We made it very hard for ourselves again but we got the result we needed to make the game against Samoa, who I consider the best team here, a meaningful contest, said American Samoa coach
Thomas Rongen, a former veteran MLS coach who used to coach the U.S. Under-20 team. Its going to be great Samoa and American Samoa is like a dream matchup. The team has also gained international attention because one of its players, defender Johnny Saelua, is a faafane a biological male raised as a female. Faafanes are common in Samoan culture and are often considered a third gender. Hes been a member of the team for a number of years, Taumua said. Yes, hes faafane but hes a man and he plays as a man. Saelua also represented American Samoa in previous qualifying tournaments. Ive really got a female starting at center back, Rongen said. Can
you imagine that in England or Spain? American Samoa entered this years qualifying campaign with 30 straight losses in international soccer, including a record 31-0 loss to Australia in a 2001 World Cup qualier. Overall, the team had been outscored 229-12. In World Cup qualifying, the team lost all 12 of its matches before this year with a minus-127 goal difference, 129-2. All that changed with Tuesdays win, and Thursdays draw has added to the hopes that the team can move on for the rst time. Our game plan was to win but the draw has gotten us to four points and puts us into a position on Saturday to play for a champi-
onship, Rongen said. I think we should have put the game away in the rst half and scored two or three with the chances we had. Shalom Luani scored for American Samoa in the 24th minute. But in the 62nd, defender Tala Luvu headed a free kick from Paavo Mustonen into his own net. American Samoa is tied for the worst team in the FIFA rankings in 204th place with Andorra, Montserrat, Samoa and San Marino. A small island in the south Pacic that is known more for the American football players it produces, American Samoa has a population of about 55,000. But Tuesdays win elevated the country to almost star status in soccer circles.
Its been quite amazing really, Football Federation of American Samoa general secretary Tavita Taumua said. Weve had people telephoning us, emailing us, congratulating us on our first win. Getting that rst win was a big thing for us. Now were looking forward to Saturdays game against Samoa. Rongen, a 55-year-old Dutchman, once played for Ajax. He has been coaching American Samoa for only about three weeks. Hes made a big contribution, Taumua said. He has a lot of experience at a professional level and hes made a big difference both in the skill level of the players and in their mental approach. Thomas has really change the level of American Samoan football.
Great style and enhanced safety, now at a savings.

Egypts military under pressure

U.S.urges quick transition to democracy for Egypt
By Hamza Hendawi and Sarah El Deeb

WASHINGTON The Obama administration voiced fresh support Friday for restive Egyptians demanding a smoother, speedier transition to democracy following President Hosni Mubaraks fall from power earlier this year. The United States will continue to stand with the Egyptian people as they build a democracy worthy of Egypts great history, it said in a statement from the White House press ofce.l The statement came amid continuing unrest in Egypt, where protesters in Cairos Tahir Square insist they will not leave until the ruling military council that succeeded Mubarak steps down in favor of a civilian presidential council. In its statement, the White House said: The United States strongly believes that the new Egyptian government must be empowered with real authority immediately.
We believe that Egypts transition to democracy must continue, with elections proceeding expeditiously, and all necessary measures taken to ensure security and prevent intimidation, it added. Most importantly, we believe that the full transfer of power to a civilian government must take place in a just and inclusive manner that responds to the legitimate aspirations of the Egyptian people, as soon as possible. Egypts military rulers rejected protester demands for them to step down immediately and said Thursday they would start the rst round of parliamentary elections on time next week, despite serious unrest in Cairo and other cities. The ruling military council insisted it is not the same as the old regime it replaced, but the generals appear to be on much the same path that doomed Mubarak nine months ago responding to the current crisis by delivering speeches seen as arrogant, mixing concessions with threats and using brutal force.
CAIRO The U.S. increased pressure Friday on Egypts military rulers to hand over power to civilian leaders, and the generals turned to a Mubarak-era politician to head a new government in a move that failed to satisfy the more than 100,000 protesters who jammed Tahrir Square in the biggest rally yet this week. The demonstrators rejected the appointment of Kamal el-Ganzouri as prime minister, breaking into chants of Illegitimate! Illegitimate! and setting up a showdown between the two sides only three days before key parliamentary elections. The size of the rally and the resilience of protesters in the face of the violence used by security forces in this weeks deadly street battles have won back for the movement much of the strength it projected during the 18-day uprising that ousted President Hosni Mubarak in February. Showing the sort of resolve from the earliest days of the Arab Spring, the protesters say they will not leave the iconic square until the military rulers led by Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi step down and a civilian

presidential council is formed to run the country until a new leader is elected. They stole our January revolution because we did not agree on who should represent us, said activist Sedeeqah Abu Seadah. We shouted erhal (leave) but did not shout the name of the person we want. The militarys appointment of elGanzouri, its apology for the death of protesters and a series of partial concessions in the past two days suggest that the generals are struggling to overcome the most serious challenge to their nine-month rule, with fewer options now available to them. Significantly adding to their predicament, the Obama administration brought its position on the crisis in Egypt closer to the protesters demands, urging the military to fully empower the next interim civilian government.

al years in the making. Parent company Sutter Health originally planned to begin building the medical complex by 2009 with hopes of completion in 2012. In March 2009, however, Sutter Health put several capital projects include the San Carlos Center on hold because of the economy. In November 2010, the Sutter Health Board of Directors gave the green light to start again. Some cleanup efforts of the 301 Industrial Road site home of a former microwave tube manufacturer were done even as the project was paused but more work began in January. However, that was slowed which in turn held up the groundbreaking. There was more work than expected and we ran into bad weather. A lot of the cleanup created holes and as soon as they would empty them they would rell with water, said Cecilia Montalvo, regional vice president of strategic planning and business development for PAMF. Once the environmental cleanup is inspected and certied by the regional Water Quality Control Board, the project will receive what is called a no further action letter likely within 30 to 60 days.
Construction then begins on the 18.1acre site. While city ofcials are ballparking a spring or summer start, Montalvo said shell be disappointed if it takes that long. Either way, the good news is were taking denitive steps and going forward, she said. The initial portion includes an outpatient clinic, followed by an acute inpatient hospital at an undetermined future date. The rst segment also includes a loop road and installation of re hydrants and landscaping irrigation. When nished, the 192,260-squarefoot San Carlos Center will include an urgent-care center, 75 primary physicians and specialists with the capacity to swell to 120, an on-site laboratory and pharmacy, space for outpatient surgery and a cafe. Because we are phasing in the hospital, we want to make services available as soon as possible, Montalvo said. PAMF estimates the center will create 800 new jobs for non-physician staff. Construction will be just the latest work for the area which in the last year has seen pile driving at the new Shoreway Environmental Center and building of an In-N-Out Burger at Holly Street and Industrial Road. Once the medical campus opens, city ofcials expect it will contribute to existing trafc congestion in the area and
wrote into its agreement with PAMF mitigation measures. PAMF contributed money toward the upgrades of the Highway 101/Brittan Avenue intersection and are committed to a similar infusion to the future upgrades at Highway 101 and Holly Street, Moura said. Montalvo said Phase One will cost approximately $210 million. In contrast, the original plan by PAMF for San Carlos was a $550 million complex involving a 110-bed hospital, outpatient clinic and medical offices and 1,000-space parking garage. In 2007, the blueprint dropped to a 91-bed hospital with 120 on-site doctors and 826 other staffers instead of 1,137. Several of the tweaks came through multiple meetings over a four-year span with San Carlos ofcials and residents who worried about potential trafc snarls and oversaturation of medical options in a community already served by Kaiser Permanente and Sequoia hospitals in Redwood City and Stanford Medical Center. In 2007, hard-won approval came after the concessions and a 50-year agreement generating millions for the community and one-time grants to the educational fund and for athletic elds and facilities. PAMF owns the land on Industrial Road, having bought it for $25 million even before the city of San Carlos approved the project.

Divino Downtown Italy in Belmont, CA

Belmont, November 1, 2011 Many great things have been said about the food, service, and atmosphere at Ristorante Divino that I would just like to add my applause to the menu. By combining current Italian fare with California styles, Chef Vincenzo Cucco creates tasty and satisfying dishes for all palates. A beautifully presented Corvina Sea Bass is sauted with potato velute underneath and then topped with a tomato, avocado and onion relish. The poultry is often prepared in traditional styles as well as some interesting creations such as Pollo in Porchetta which is a roasted breast of chicken stuffed
with prosciutto, fennel seeds and arugola in a white wine sauce. Tasty pasta dishes such as Ravioli di Magro (homemade ravioli stuffed with Swiss chard and ricotta covered in a creamy white walnut sauce) meet the short list along with spaghetti putanesca con pescespada: thin spaghetti with Sicilian olives, capers, fresh sauted swordsh and spicy tomato sauce. Not to be neglected on the menu, Cucco prepares his signature pasta dish for lunch and dinner, an artisan tube pasta with Italian sausage meat, green peas, roasted red bell peppers and a creamy tomato sauce perfectly seasoned. Gluten free pasta is always on hand. There are salads and panini for the vegetarians and of course ordering off the menu is not discouraged. Divino was established in 2006 by Chef Owner Vincenzo Cucco and Paolo Dominici, founders of popular BACCO in San Franciscos Noe Valley. Cucco hails from Sicily where he completed his training and
went on to work at the Prestigious Do Forni in Venice, Italy.

Williams makes Monroe

By Christy Lemire
The breathy voice, the girlish cadence, the irty demeanor, even the slightest facial gestures Michelle Williams gets many of the details right and gives a thoroughly committed performance as Marilyn Monroe in My Week With Marilyn. But as good as Williams is as good as she always is and as devoted as she clearly was to embodying this woman fully, you never truly forget that youre watching an extended impression of the pop culture icon. A lot of that has to do with the fact that this is indeed a legend shes playing, and its difficult to take mythology and turn it into something tangible and true. But the script from Adrian Hodges, based on memoirs by Colin Clark, doesnt offer Williams much substance or subtlety with which to work. The Monroe shes given functions in only two gears: Either shes the dazzling, charismatic sex symbol of lore, or shes stoned, insecure and in constant need of coddling. Surely there was more complexity

Making sense through satire

By Andrew Lyu
nyone who attended Aragons recent production of the musical Bat Boy would have been pleasantly surprised. Of course, Aragons cast put together a praiseworthy show, as is the standard. Rather, the surprise, for me, came with the thematic material of the play itself. I entered the auditorium expecting to see a rather dark play. After all, the main character of the play is half-bat, half-boy. Bat Boy is a play derived from a tabloid story in the Weekly World News in which a halfbat, half-boy is found in a cave. The play takes the story further and explores his adoption into a family and the challenges he faces in being accepted. Although I did expect to see a tale about acceptance, I was caught off guard when I found myself watching the Rev. Billy Hightower opening Act II of the play with a feverish revival. How does a faith healer t into this tale of acceptance of a humanoid creature? Surprisingly, or for some unsurprisingly, the faith healer is in fact unable to heal Bat Boy. Throughout the play, many serious themes are touched upon such as religion, hypocrisy and the political system. But rather than making a direct statement about such issues, the playwrights decided to address such topics with a satirical approach. This got me thinking: Why try to convey a message through satire? Satire is, and always has been, touchy material. First of all, one of the greatest challenges of producing a satire is running the risk of being unable to convey to the audience the true message. The director of Aragons production, Shane Smuin said, You really have to know exactly what you are making fun of. As perform-

NUTCRACKER MAGIC. Theres magic on stage at San Francisco Ballets Nutcracker, and not just because of the beauty of the dancing and the delight of Tchaikovskys music, wonderful as they always are. The productions judicious use of Menlo Park Illusionist Marshall Magoons talents inject the story with terric visual effects as the mysterious Uncle Drosselmeyer, the bringer of extraordinary gifts, makes toys change size and come to life. Magoon said, The benet of magic in any live theatrical production is the element of surprise. The audience is there to see a wondrous story told by a talented cast of dancers. What better misdirection could a magician ask for? No one expects the magic and thats why even the smallest trick plays like a large illusion. As the magic consultant, I know how much the dancers are asked to learn and that my time with them will be limited. Theyll spend countless hours perfecting the illusions and making them special. That attention to detail is why the audiences keep coming back year after year. Magoons illusions are perfectly suited to this timeless story that reects the magic of the holiday season and the wonder it holds for children. There is arguably no more perfect melding of music and story in theatre than the moment when Drosselmeyer raises his arms and commands the Christmas tree to grow, and grow and GROW, making anything seem possible in the fanciful world of dream and wonder that appears beneath its giant boughs. Magoon said, Its always challenging reimagining iconic works such as The Nutcracker but as a magic consultant my job is to infuse the production with illusions. The San Francisco Ballets Nutcracker was a fun project because of talented dancers and their dedication to make the magic work. I encouraged each Drosselmeyer to interpret the magic their own way but to remember that a magicians job is to make the audience believe they can do miracles. Two hours with a 20-minute intermission.

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE UM

By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
SUMPTUOUS VENETIANS. Masters of Venice: Renaissance Painters of Passion and Power, at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park, is a worldwide exclusive presentation of 50 paintings by the Venetian painters Titian, Giorgione, Veronese, Tintoretto, Mantegna and others, primarily from the sixteenth century. These outstanding pieces are among the most celebrated holdings in the collections of the Gemldegalerie (Picture Gallery) of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. John E. Buchanan Jr., director of museums for the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, said, When the Fine Arts Museums learned that the collection of Venetian paintings would be deinstalled temporarily to make way for a special exhibition, we moved rapidly to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to introduce such exquisite and canonical artwork to American audiences. Many of these paintings have been unseen on these shores until now. Among the highlights are Saint Sebastian (ca.14571459) by Andrea Mantegna; four rare works by Giorgio da Castelfranco, known as Giorgione, including The Three Philosophers (ca. 14771510), Portrait of a Young Woman (Laura) (1506) and Youth with an Arrow (ca. 15081510); and more than a dozen works by Tiziano Vecellio, know as Titian, whose work is synonymous with the Venetian style lustrous pigments, sharply graduated light and shadows delineating robust forms, such as his Dana (1560s) and Bravo (The Assassin) (ca.15151520). The Old Master paintings of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna comprise one of the worlds four great princely collections, ranked with those in Paris (the
Louvre), Saint Petersburg (the Hermitage) and Madrid (the Prado). The Kunsthistorisches Museum, conceived by Emperor Franz Joseph I to house art accumulated over the centuries by the emperors and archdukes of the royal house of Habsburg, opened on Oct. 17, 1891. The de Young Museum is located at 50 Hagiwara Tea Garden Drive in Golden Gate Park. Docent Maureen OBrien speaks on A Docents ViewMasters of Venice: Renaissance Paintings of Passion and Power from the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, at 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 27. For more information call (415) 750-3600 or visit www.deyoungmuseum.org. Masters of Venice: Renaissance Painters of Passion and Power runs through Feb. 12, 2012. *** PLAYLAND AT THE BEACH RETURNS (SCALED DOWN). Take a delightful trip down memory lane as a bygone era of seaside amusement comes to miniature life with Playland at the Conservatory, the forth Annual Garden Railway at Golden Gate Parks Conservatory of Flowers. Playland at the Conservatory celebrates the legendary Playland at the Beach, an area that ourished as a destination for fun and thrills after a railroad built in 1884 made travel out to the ocean affordable. In this entirely new layout, model trains and trolleys wend their way through hundreds of dwarf plants and around a dozen San Francisco landmarks, all creatively crafted in miniature from recycled and repurposed materials. (Playlands historic 1906 carousel was created from a discarded light xture, a slide carousel and a record player. The individual cages of the Rock-O-Plane are made from old pencil sharpeners.) The exhibit also includes real memorabilia, including an original wool bathing suit from Sutro Baths, a Dodger Shakespeare). The Method acting technique that Monroe applied is a repeated target of jokes, as if it were some sort of imsy, fringy philosophy (and Zoe Wanamaker, as acting coach Paula Strasberg, comes off as a caricature of a yenta). One of the least developed characters of all is the one who is central to this story and serves as our conduit. Hes Colin Clark himself (Eddie Redmayne), a young, star-struck and personality-free assistant on The Prince and the Showgirl, which Monroe was shooting in England in 1956. Colin comes from money but wants to prove himself by working his way up from the bottom in the lm world. Monroe, by contrast, is the most famous person on the planet at this point. But despite Meanwhile, Rachel van Heteren, who played one of the more satirized characters, Sheriff Reynolds, took a different approach to her acting. With a satire role, you take a trait you think your character would have, and then blow it far out of proportion. As long as you stop short of being so absurd youre distracting or impossible to understand, youre in the clear, she said. Sometimes, however, the issue with satire isnt obliviousness to the satirical nature of a production; rather, the issue is distaste for the material itself.

Even though this picture is a light romantic comedy, it gives her a chance to work with Olivier as both her director and co-star. She is, of course, paralyzed with fear. Oliviers wife, Vivien Leigh (played with grace and candor by Julia Ormond) tries to encourage her. Another of Monroes costars, the far more seasoned and distinguished Dame Sybil Thorndike (Judi Dench), reaches out to her with patience and kindness. But for some reason, Monroe also seeks comfort in Colin, of all people according to him, at least. This is, after all, his story. She keeps drawing him closer, which becomes easier when Miller returns to the United I was really bothered when one of my friends decided to not do the show because of the alleged anti-religious tone, Khemici said. Brynn Mitchell, who played a lead, Shelley Parker, in the musical was herself conicted with some of the thematic material. Honestly, when I rst read Bat Boy before auditions, I was appalled at the material. I am religious, so at rst the content seemed disturbing and I was very conicted about doing the show, she said.

Prior to the development of this relationship, though, My Week With Marilyn offers an amusing (though not exactly novel) peek at the stir Monroes presence caused in the rural area surrounding Pinewood Studios west of London. The actual lmmaking process, especially with the involvement of such esteemed gures, is always fascinating to watch. Or at least it should be. Like the depiction of Monroe herself, the lm as a whole rings hollow with a kind of airy, unsatisfying emptiness. My Week With Marilyn, a Weinstein Co. release, is rated R for language. Running time: 101 minutes. Two stars out of four. [when I say] we never mean to insult any group through the production of shows. Mitchell continued to qualify to the musical: Theater is an art that is so vulnerable that it is bound to touch into some sensitive areas and so in some ways, people overreact because they dont understand the intent. In Bat Boy, that intent is sending a message of acceptance.

Virgin America looks to make flying fun

NEW YORK Virgin America CEO David Cush believes ying doesnt have to be painful. He remembers when boarding a plane was exciting and wants to bring back that joy. That is why every job applicant, including pilots, ight attendants and baggage handlers, takes a personality test. He wants employees who are hardwired with positive outlooks on life. Virgin America, which is partly owned by Richard Branson, the founder of the edgy British airline Virgin Atlantic, doesnt aim to be the biggest carrier. It only ies between big cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston, serving about 5 million passengers annually a tiny fraction of the size of major airlines like Delta and United. But Cush wants Virgin America to be recognized for superior quality and he appears to be succeeding. The airline, based near San Francisco, has routinely ranked at the top of customer surveys. The past month has been a little rocky, though. Since the airline switched to a new reservation system on Oct. 28, customers have not been able to change or cancel ights online or select seats on Virgin Americas website. Instead, theyve had to call the airline or wait until they got to the airport. Cush emailed a letter to the 56,000 passengers affected apologizing for the problem and the airline says it hopes to have it fully resolved by the rst week in December. Virgin Americas eet is made up of

brand-new Airbus A319s and A320s, fuel-efcient aircraft that seat 119 and 146. Each is equipped with TVs for every passenger, colorful mood lighting and Wi-Fi. Instead of ight attendants dictating meal times, passengers buy food when they want it by pressing a few buttons on their TV. If you talk to people about what is most frustrating about air travel, what comes out is the loss of control, Cush says. Weve been pushing to give people control again. Virgin isnt the rst U.S. airline to use TVs and friendly service to attract customers. Cush acknowledges some copying as he works to create the California version of New York-based JetBlue. JetBlue came around and had a different type of service. That opened my eyes, he says. But his quest to create a fun airline has been stymied by more serious concerns like high fuel prices and a recession whose impact is still being felt. Since it started ying in August 2007, Virgin America has lost $661.4 million. Cush expects to become protable in 2012, a year later than originally planned. The privately held company is owned by a New York hedge fund, Richard Bransons Virgin Group and private investors, including Donald J. Carty, the former head of American Airlines parent company, AMR Corp.

Scorsese sees in a new dimension

By Jake Coyle
NEW YORK Thelma Schoonmaker, Martin Scorseses longtime editor, warmly greets a reporter outside their Manhattan offices ahead of a screening of Scorseses new 3-D fairytale, Hugo. Around the corner is Schoonmakers editing bay, where she and Scorsese keep Turner Classic Movies running silently on a nearby screen while they work. Inside is a screening room where Scorsese often runs old lms, familiar classics and newfound gems. At one time, they gathered with Elia Kazan every Saturday to watch one of his lms. Large movie posters dot the halls: The Third Man, Black Narcissus. Directions to the bathroom are given as across from Marlon Brando. It is, in short, a cinephiles dream a description that could also apply to the magical Hugo. The lm, adapted from Brian Selznicks award-winning illustrated book The Invention of Hugo Cabret, is about a 12-year-old orphan, Hugo (Asa Buttereld), who lives in a 1930 Paris train station. But its also as so many of Scorseses lms are a movie about movies. It captures young Hugos ecstatic discovery of cinema, echoing Scorseses own experience as an asthmatic child in New Yorks Little Italy. Hugos adventures ultimately lead him to the turn-of-the-century French lmmaker George Melies (Ben Kingsley), a special effects pioneer and early believer in the wonder of movies. But just as Scorsese is looking back through lm history, hes also looking ahead: Hugo is his rst 3D lm. For a medium that has undergone a lot of criticism and doubt since James Camerons ground-

breaking Avatar, Scorseses enthusiastic embrace of 3-D does a lot for its credibility. It was a big issue when Fellini did his first color film, when Bergman did his rst color lm, when Antonioni did Red Desert, recalled Scorsese in a recent interview and trip through the technological history of movies. Everybody wanted to see how they did color. 2011 is shaping up to be the year many notable directors took up 3-D: Werner Herzog (Cave of Forgotten Dreams), Francis Ford Coppola (Twixt), Wim Wenders (Pina) and Steven Spielberg (The Adventures of Tintin). But no ones entry to 3-D has quite the same import as that of Scorsese, long held as Americas best. An inevitable side-effect of even a slight brush with Scorsese is that your Netflix queue doubles in length. His encyclopedic knowledge of lm constantly spawns detailed analysis: Hed much rather discuss a few thousand other lms than his own. There are old favorites that frequently come up Michael Powell, Max Ophuls, Jean Renoir and various dips into the rabbit hole. Asked what lms he shows his 12year-old daughter (who helped inspire him to make Hugo), Scorsese lists more than 20 lms, a virtual lm school for adolescence. Scorsese grew up in another age of 3-D lms, and he consulted many of those from the 1950s: House of Wax, Kiss Me Kate, Dial M for Murder. To him, seeing in depth is natural, because we live with depth. Theres great potential for it, the director says of 3-D. Its a natural progression, especially with the fact that cinema is all around us. Its not only in a theater. Obviously, the next thing you go to is holograms. You could have West Side Story with the dancers dancing up the aisles, or a wonderful actor doing Hamlet. To Scorsese, its ultimately part of lm evolution. He recalls the advent of sound, the early distrust for color and the ushering in of wider screens with CinemaScope.
Having been revered as a master for decades and functioning at the top of his game as he approaches 70, Martin Scorsese would seem to have nothing else to prove. So its thrilling to see him make a bold, creative leap with Hugo, which is not only an unusual family lm from him but also his rst movie in 3-D. Scorsese doesnt just tinker with this new-fangled technology, he embraces it fully. This is the most dazzling use of 3-D yet more so than the vaunted Avatar. Scorsese has completely realized the production with a third dimension in mind and maximized it for its immersive qualities, a joy to behold at a time when so many lms are shot in 2-D and shoddily converted to 3-D after the fact. All the flawless production values youd expect from a Scorsese lm are in place, with the director reuniting with so many members of the creative team with which hes worked over the years, including editor Thelma Schoonmaker and production designer Dante Ferretti. Its also awe-inspiring to consider that he has conveyed the importance of lm preservation a cause thats close to his heart but done so in forward-thinking fashion, in the highest of high-tech ways. It takes a little while for the narrative to nd its way in, though; the rst half of John Logans script feels like it meanders a bit as it establishes all its gures and lays out all its puzzle pieces. Based on the Brian Selznick
childrens book The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Hugo takes place at a train station in 1930s Paris, where the title character, a wideeyed orphan played by Asa Buttereld, secretly lives in the walls and keeps all the clocks running on time. In a lengthy, beautifully uid opening sequence reminiscent of his famous restaurantentry tracking shot in Goodfellas, Scorsese swoops through the hustle and bustle of the crowded station before soaring up and into a clock perched high above the action to reveal the boys presence. He also pays detailed attention to the various grinding gears and hidden hallways that keep this cavernous place in constant motion. Hugo is fascinated by machinery, a hobby he shared with his late father, played in flashbacks by Jude Law. The one item that still connects him with his beloved dad is a shiny metallic automaton the two were xing together. As it turns out, this machine may also connect him with the mean old man who works at the train station toy shop, played with gruffness and grace and a secret by Ben Kingsley. The boy gets some help in solving this mystery from the toy store owners inquisitive goddaughter, Isabelle (Chloe Grace Moretz, who radiates vitality and does an impressive British accent). The two spend a lot of time snooping around, dreaming and trying to escape the clutches of the dastardly police inspector. Hes played by Sacha Baron Cohen, who injects great comic relief but whose presence also feels a bit off.

General admission gets you in to see the holiday guests and also access to see the penguins, monkeys and exotic animals who live at the zoo year round. If the Christmas spirit so moves you, maybe walking into a holiday world would be a nice trip. The Great Dickens Christmas Fair kicks off this weekend running through Dec. 18. Its a twilight evening in Charles Dickens London Town a city lled with lively and colorful characters from both literature and history. Enticing aromas of roasted chestnuts and hearty foods ll the air, according to the fair website. Familiar names like Charles Dickens, Ebeneezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Oliver Twist and Father Christmas are all on the invite list. Modeled after the popular renaissance fairs, the Christmas Fair offers music, activities, shops, dancing, pubs and food inspired from the Victorian period.

RINK
a lubricating solution that feel like natural ice when heated by the pressure of the blade. In fact, the joints holding the sheets together are pretty much the only visual clue it is anything other than frozen water. Burke said the idea was cool a tting description although it didnt make much of a difference what exact surface is used. He was just glad to have the rink. The rink is holding court in Courthouse Square in downtown Redwood City through the beginning of next year. The steps of the historic San Mateo County courthouse offered easy seating for those who prefer watching the skating than actually braving the ice themselves and one pole agging the building has been converted into a lightbulb Christmas tree. The rink is an alternative for those seeking the holiday-like experience of outdoor skating without the need to trek to downtown San Francisco or San Jose which traditionally set up holiday rinks. Christina Johnson, 42, said the proximity was a key factor in coming because it is easier to travel a few exits to downtown Redwood City than traipse up the Peninsula with two young children in tow. Johnson, who was visiting her sister in Belmont for the Thanksgiving holiday, appreciated having something for the kids to do besides TV. Johnson was joined by about a dozen others during one skating session, including her own children, Burke and several other families making their way counter-clockwise around the rink. Some skaters gave their best impressions of future Olympians. Others, mainly the littlest skaters, preferred to stomp down on the ice a method often accompanied by a short fall and laughter that mixed with the oldies music blaring from the standing speakers. The 60-foot-by-67-foot rink opened Nov. 18
If you go
Skating times and costs are: Monday to Thursday:2 p.m.to 9 p.m.($10) Fridays:2 p.m.to 6 p.m.($10) Fridays:6 p.m. 10 p.m.($12) Saturdays:Noon to 10 p.m.($12) Sundays:Noon to 8 p.m.($12) Skating sessions start on every even hour and run approximately one and a half hours.Tickets can be purchased at the kiosk prior to skating or in advance at www.redwoodcity.org/events.Courthouse Square is bounded by Broadway,Marshall Street and Jefferson Avenue.
and runs through Jan. 16. City spokesman Malcolm Smith said city ofcials and a long list of business sponsors hope it can become an annual event. The rink is a rst for the city which wants to provide a fun mid-winter activity downtown, Smith said. The citys big seasons, particularly in the Courthouse Square area, are spring and summer when music, movies and other performances lure hundreds on weekends and at night. If the skating rink proves a similar draw, it could also become a staple. The non-ice technology is also less expensive and greener than a traditional rink because it does not require electricity to keep the surface frozen, Smith said. This is an easier choice. It is well used and well tested, Smith said. In fact, skaters may have seen these types of rinks before and just not known it at malls or on cruise ships. The rink costs about $48,000, and a bit more than half of that is covered by sponsors, Smith said. The plan is the other half will be funded by skaters and any left over will help pay for other downtown events.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2011 SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Avoid partaking
with people who previously have been unlucky for you materially. Chances are nothing has changed, and such folk will continue to be ill-fated for you in money matters. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- As long as you are making your own decisions, things are likely to go quite well. Let someone else call the shots, and it could be another story. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Take some time to help instruct those who cant seem to grasp new ideas in a timely fashion, especially if it means the
difference between success and failure for you and/ or them. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You might have a bit of trouble understanding what could get you in jeopardy, so dont engage in anything that might cause problems if things dont go exactly right. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- There are plenty of good buys out there without you having to think about which one is better; theyll all be great. Select the one that pleases you the most. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Get your most difficult tasks out of the way early while you have plenty of energy to take on those tough jobs. If you wait too long to do so, you wont have the fortitude to finish.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Dont fret if youre better at making money for someone else than you are for yourself. The rewards for doing so will come your way sooner than you think. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Do your homework if you want to make a good presentation about promoting something big. The more you know about your product, the easier it will be to sell. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Although you may be in a good material cycle, dont discuss your financial situation with anyone. Someone with devious plans may bogart what you have in the hopper. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Having a friend who does things in novel ways can be interesting, but
dont try to mimic their techniques. This person may be exaggerating what is really going on, anyway. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be energetic and go after only big and potentially profitable targets, but be realistic about your means and ability to do so. You may collapse if you take on more than you can handle. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- By being so intense about everything, you will have a tendency to take something that is meant to be merely interesting far too seriously.
