VIOLENCE IN EGYPT AFTER PRESIDENT EXPANDS
POWERS
STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
A 24-year-old San Bruno woman sitting in
the back seat of an SUV with her three sis-
ters was killed after she was ejected in a
crash with a California Highway Patrol
vehicle on northbound Highway 101 in Palo
Alto Friday morning, a CHP officer said.
The 6:49 a.m. collision at Embarcadero
Road also left the womans sisters and offi-
cer injured and snarled traffic for hours.
The car was occupied by a San Bruno
family, with the father driving, the mother in
the passenger seat and four sisters sitting in
the back seat, said California Highway
Patrol officer Amelia Jack.
The woman, the oldest of the siblings, was
ejected with another sister, from a gold
Lexus SUV after the SUV struck a CHP
vehicle pulled over on the right-hand shoul-
der of the highway.
The 24-year-old was killed instantly while
the other sister suffered major injuries, Jack
said.
Authorities have not released the names of
those involved.
Before the crash, the CHP vehicle had
pulled up next to a broken-down white pick-
up truck that was pulled over on the right-
hand shoulder, Jack said.
After speaking to the trucks occupants,
the CHP officer pulled up in front of the
truck, which is when the SUV swerved into
the shoulder for unknown reasons and hit
the left side of the patrol vehicle, Jack said.
The SUV then flipped and came to a rest
on the Embarcadero Road off-ramp after the
two sisters were ejected.
The parents and two other sisters in the
SUV, who were all wearing seatbelts, suf-
fered various major and minor injuries, Jack
said.

Theater may be
declared historic
Designation would protect
Redwood Citys Fox Theatre
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Fox Theatre in downtown Redwood City is often
referred to as historic and after Tuesday night the label may be
more than just lip service.
The Redwood City Planning Commission will consider
declaring the theater at 2215 Broadway a historic property, a
designation that will save owners Eric and Lori Lochtefeld
between 40 percent and 60 percent of the assessed tax value
for a minimum of 10 years. In return, the city will protect a
structure it deems a signicant resource and provide the
Lochtefelds a nancial incentive for the propertys long-term
maintenance.
At the same meeting, the Planning Commission will also
consider the Historic Property Preservation contract proposal
for a separate three-bedroom home at 726 Brewster Ave. that
dates from 1908.
The City Council in 1987 declared the 1,400-seat art deco
theater a historic landmark. The contract takes the label one
step further by offering tax incentives for maintaining it to his-

The U.S. Open golf invitational that drew
thousands of pros and fans to the Olympic
Club in June meant green for something other
than the fairways.
San Mateo County netted $133,005 in sales
tax from goods sold at the 36,000-square-foot
souvenir tent that sat within county lines.
Some of the Olympic Club is located in San
Francisco County but the tent, a massive
structure lled with eece vests and hats and
everything in between, rested in San Mateo
County.
Prior to the grand opening, local ofcials
even made sure of it by walking the site with
maps of the county line and a county building
inspector manager to see exactly where the
sales tents would sit.
Once the event was nished, ofcials had to
wait until the Board of Equalization did its
nal computations before learning just how
much the county made.
Heading into the event, local ofcials esti-
mated that the region stood to receive at least
$100 million in economic and indirect bene-
ts based on studies of nancial boons for
other areas following the U.S. Open.
Daly City itself received $45,000 for park-
ing on a softball eld plus a little something
extra.
They literally took a softball eld, used it,
then resodded it and gave us money, said
Councilman David Canepa. How cool is
that?
The city also received $21,000 for garbage
services.
Prior to the event, county hospitality of-
cials were also optimistic for millions of dol-
lars in direct spending. Anne LeClair, presi-
dent and CEO of the San Mateo
County/Silicon Valley Convention and
Visitors Bureau, said regional hospitality cer-
tainly fared well even if specic numbers are
unclear.
Everybody sold out but with so many
events that same time there are so many vari-
ables and we cant directly attribute it to one
specic thing. It was denitely a huge con-
tributor but its not like hotels ask guests why
specically they are there, LeClair said.
The revenue may also provide a glimpse of
what the Americas Cup sailing races next
year may also mean for San Mateo County.
While the event is in San Francisco proper as
opposed to the U.S. Open which was adjacent
to Daly City, they say the international com-
petition may have a trickle-down effect for
hotels, cars and tourism.
LeClair said she isnt sure yet what to
expect but is hoping for the best. She also
thinks the county may prot not necessarily
from those attending the Americas Cup but
other visitors who nd San Francisco options
lled because of the race.
Maybe the rates are too high for them or
there are no rooms at all so we get the spill
over from that. Either way, we should benet,
LeClair said.

A Burlingame man was arrested on
Thanksgiving afternoon after ring a nail gun
at two day laborers and their truck because he
felt they were being too noisy working on a
fence at a nearby construction site, according
to prosecutors.
Michael Timothy McHenry, 38, approached
the men on the 1500 block of Cypress Street

but they ignored him and kept working, said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Suddenly they heard the sound of a nail
gun and saw McHenry shooting nails at their

them and red off three rounds but missed,
Wagstaffe said.
Police called to the scene discovered
McHenry was wanted on an arrested warrant

The former nance director at the
countys mosquito control district and
her accounting supervisor will stand trial
in February on charges they embezzled
more than $400,000 in taxpayer dollars,
including expenses for one womans
legal bills in an earlier and unrelated
theft from an employer.
Joanne Seeney, 61, and Vika Sinipata,
36, were expected to settle their cases
this week but instead set a jury trial for
Feb. 25.
The charges against the duo not only
led to their arrest but also raised ques-
tions about the operations of the San
Mateo County Mosquito and Vector
Control District from which they
allegedly stole and paved the way for a
possible county takeover that ultimately
failed. Although the district escaped dis-
solution, the former workers fate
remains in the hands of a future jury.
Prosecutors say Seeney, then the dis-
trict nance director working under the
name Jo Ann Dearman, and Sinipata, her
bookkeeper assistant
and accounting
supervisor, embez-
zled the funds
between 2009 and
2011 by giving them-
selves extra pay at a
higher pay rate and
fraudulent time off,
excessively con-
tributed to their
deferred compensation funds, used cred-
it cards for personal purchases and elec-
tronically transferred money into their
own accounts. The audit reported more
than $635,000 was missing, much of it
in the last scal year. The district con-
tacted the County Counsels Office
which in turn handed the matter to the
District Attorneys Ofce which charged
them with stealing more than $450,000.
The districts numbers might be closer to
the actual loss but prosecutors are only
alleging the amount they can prove.
According to a now-retired operations
director at the district, Seeney stole
some of the money by charging to the
district personal
needs like water, util-
ities and defense
attorneys represent-
ing her in the other
embezzlement case.
Seeney was still
employed by the dis-
trict when she took
medical leave, claim-
ing she needed to
care for her mother
but in actuality she was serving two
years and eight months in prison for the
two different embezzlement cases,
including one in which she ran up more
than a half-million dollars on her boss
credit card.
The alleged embezzlement came to
light after a board member questioned
the balance in a pesticide account.
Sinipata remains in custody in lieu of
$150,000. Seeney was allowed to post
$250,000 bail after proving the money
was not the product of either that alleged
crime or previous thefts for which she
was imprisoned.

WASHINGTON The crack epidem-
ic that began in the 1980s ushered in a
wave of bloodletting in the nations capi-
tal and a death toll that ticked upward
daily. Dead bodies, sometimes several a
night, had homicide detectives hustling
between crime scenes and earned
Washington unwelcome monikers such as
the nations murder capital. At the time,
some feared the murder rate might ascend
to more frightening heights.
But after approaching nearly 500 slay-
ings a year in the early 1990s, the annual
rate has gradually declined to the point
that the city is now on the verge of a once-
unthinkable milestone. The number of
2012 killings in the District of Columbia
stands at 78 and is on pace to nish lower
than 100 for the rst time since 1963,
police records show.
It strikes me probably daily as I ride
around the city, or sometimes when Im
sitting at home at night, and its 10 oclock
and my phones not ringing. Or I get up in
the morning, and I go, Oh my gosh, Ive
slept ve hours, said Police Chief Cathy
Lanier, who joined the department amid
violent 1991 street riots.

Gov. Jerry Brown names
internal inspector for
California National Guard
By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown has appointed an
Army National Guard lieutenant colonel as the rst independ-
ent inspector general of the California Military Department to
investigate claims of wrongdoing at an agency beset by fraud
in recent years.
The governor this week named Lt. Col. David Kauffman, of
Placerville, to the rst four-year term of the newly independ-
ent position.
The position was created as part of SB921, which Brown
signed into law in September. Its intent is partly to restore con-
dence in the chain of command at the California National
Guard following a series of bruising revelations about mis-
spending and nancial fraud.
The law also gives more protections to Guard members who
blow the whistle on misconduct, and it says the inspector gen-
eral can be removed only for good cause.
This sends a signal that both Gov. Brown and the Guard are
committed to reforming the past abuses of prior administra-
tions, Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, said Friday.
He authored the legislation that created the new position.

believe stabbed himself in the abdomen
twice after a high-speed chase from
Burlingame police in August pleaded
not guilty to charges of felony robbery
with a knife and evading police.
Daniel Thomas Cassidy, 24, of
Burlingame, is also charged with a
felony count of hit and run and a misde-
meanor count of resisting arrest. He was
held to answer on all charges after a pre-
liminary hearing and this week upheld
his not guilty plea in Superior Court. He
also waived his right
to a speedy prosecu-
tion and set a jury
trial for March 4.
Authorities say
Cassidy approached
a woman at the ATM
on 1145 Broadway
and ashed a large
folding knife just
before 9 p.m. Aug.
28. He allegedly ordered her to withdraw
$100 three times and ed after taking the
money. A Burlingame ofcer spotted
him and pursued his vehicle until
Cassidy allegedly lost control, went
around a turn and crashed into an occu-
pied car. Cassidy continued his ight
into Hillsborough where he again lost
control and crashed into vegetation and
ivy near the Burlingame/Hillsborough
border. The ofcer shot a Taser twice at
Cassidy as he ran on foot and, after sub-
duing him, noticed he had cut himself in
several places with the knife, including
two stab wounds to the abdomen, prose-
cutors said.
He remains in custody in lieu of
$100,000 bail and returns to court Feb. 4
for a pretrial conference.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip
Israeli troops red on Gazans surg-
ing toward Israels border fence
Friday, killing one person but leav-
ing intact the fragile two-day-old
cease-re between Hamas and the
Jewish state.
The truce, which calls for an end
to Gaza rocket re on Israel and
Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, came
after eight days of cross-border
fighting, the bloodiest between
Israel and Hamas in four years.
In a letter to the U.N. Security
Council, the Palestinian U.N.
observer Riyad Mansour called the
situation in Gaza extremely frag-
ile and said Israels cease-re vio-
lations and other illegal actions risk
undermining the calm that was just
restored.
Hundreds of Palestinians
approached the border fence Friday
in several locations in southern
Gaza, testing expectations Israel
would no longer enforce a 300-
meter-wide (300-yard-wide) no-go
zone on the Palestinian side of the
fence that was meant to prevent
inltrations into Israel. In the past,
Israeli soldiers routinely opened re
on those who crossed into the zone.
In one incident captured by
Associated Press video, several
dozen Palestinians, most of them
young men, approached the fence,
coming close to a group of Israeli
soldiers standing on the other side.
Some Palestinians briey talked
to the soldiers, while others
appeared to be taunting them with
chants of God is Great and
Morsi, Morsi, in praise of
Egyptian President Mohammed
Morsi, whose mediation led to the
truce.
At one point, a soldier shouted in
Hebrew, Go there, before I shoot
you, and pointed away from the
fence, toward Gaza. The soldier
then dropped to one knee, assuming
a ring position. Eventually, a burst
of automatic re was heard, but it
was not clear whether any of the
casualties were from this incident.
Gaza health ofcial Ashraf al-
Kidra said a 20-year-old man was
killed and 19 people were wounded
by Israeli re near the border.
Mansour, the Palestinian U.N.
observer, said Israeli forces fatally
shot Anwar Abdulhadi Qudaih in
the head and injured at least 19
other Palestinian civilians in a bor-
der area east of Khan Younis.

WASHINGTON House
Republicans still smarting from
their poor showing among
Hispanics in the presidential elec-
tion are planning a vote next week
on immigration legislation that
would both expand visas for foreign
science and technology students and
make it easier for those with green
cards to bring their immediate fam-
ilies to the U.S.
Republican leaders made it clear
after the election that the party was
ready to get serious about overhaul-
ing the nations dysfunctional
immigration system, a top priority
for Hispanic communities. Taking
up what is called the STEM Jobs
Act during the lame-duck session
could be seen as a rst step in that
direction.
The House voted on a STEM bill
standing for science, technology,
engineering and mathematics in
September, but under a procedure
requiring a two-thirds majority. It
was defeated, with more than 80
percent of Democrats voting against
it, because it offset the increase in
visas for high-tech graduates by
eliminating another visa program
that is available for less-educated
foreigners, many from Africa.
Republicans are changing the for-
mula this time by adding a provi-
sion long sought by some immigra-
tion advocates expanding a pro-
gram that allows the spouses and
minor children of people with per-
manent residence, or green card, to
wait in the United States for their
own green cards to be granted.
House to consider limited GOP immigration bill
Nine more Iraq, Afghan war
veterans joining Congress
WASHINGTON As Tammy
Duckworth sees it, her path to
Congress began when she awoke in
the fall of 2004 at Walter Reed Army
Medical Center. She was missing
both of her legs and faced the
prospect of losing her right arm.
Months of agonizing therapy lay
ahead. As the highest-ranking dou-
ble amputee in the ward, Maj.
Duckworth became the go-to person
for soldiers complaining of substan-
dard care and bureaucratic ambiva-
lence.
Soon, she was pleading their cases
to federal lawmakers, including her
states two U.S. senators at the time
Democrats Dick Durbin and
Barack Obama of Illinois. Obama
arranged for her to testify at con-
gressional hearings. Durbin encour-
aged her to run for ofce.
She lost her rst election, but six
years later gave it another try and
now is one of nine veterans of the
Iraq and Afghanistan wars who will
serve in next years freshman class
in the of House of Representatives.
Ranbaxy recalls

CAIRO Supporters and opponents of
President Mohammed Morsi clashed Friday
in the worst violence since he took ofce,
while he defended a deci-
sion to give himself near-
absolute power to root out
what he called weevils
eating away at the nation
of Egypt.
The edicts by Morsi,
which were issued
Thursday, have turned
months of growing polar-
ization into an open battle
between his Muslim
Brotherhood and liberals who fear a new dic-
tatorship. Some in the opposition, which has
been divided and weakened, were now speak-
ing of a sustained street campaign against the
man who nearly ve months ago became
Egypts rst freely elected president.
The unrest also underscored the struggle
over the direction of Egypts turbulent pas-
sage nearly two years after a popular uprising
toppled Hosni Mubaraks authoritarian
regime. Liberals and secular Egyptians accuse
the Brotherhood of monopolizing power,
dominating the writing of a new constitution
and failing to tackle the countrys chronic
economic and security problems.
I dont like, want or need to resort to
exceptional measures, but I will if I see that
my people, nation and the revolution of Egypt
are in danger, Morsi told thousands of his
chanting supporters outside the presidential
palace in Cairo.
But even before he spoke, thousands from
each camp demonstrated in major cities, and
violence broke out in several places, leaving
at least 100 wounded, according to security
ofcials.
Security forces pumped volleys of tear gas
at thousands of pro-democracy protesters
clashing with riot police on streets several
blocks from Cairos Tahrir Square, birthplace
of the Arab Spring, and in front of the nearby
parliament building. Young protesters set re
to tree branches to counter the gas, and a res-
idential building and a police vehicle also
were burned.
Tens of thousands of activists massed in
Tahrir itself, denouncing Morsi. In a throw-
back to last years 18-day anti-Mubarak upris-
ing, they chanted the iconic slogan rst heard
in Tunisia in late 2010: The people want to
overthrow the regime. They also yelled
erhal, erhal, Arabic for leave, leave.
Outside a mosque in the Mediterranean city
of Alexandria, anti-Morsi crowds threw
stones and recrackers on Brotherhood back-
ers who used prayer rugs to protect them-
selves, injuring at least 15. The protesters then
stormed a nearby Brotherhood ofce.
State TV reported that offices of the
Brotherhoods political arm were burned in
the Suez Canal cities of Suez, Ismailia and
Port Said, east of Cairo.
In the southern city of Assiut, ultraconser-
vative Islamists and former jihadists outnum-
bered liberal and leftists in rival demonstra-
tions. The two sides exchanged insults and
scufed briey.
Morsi and the Brotherhood contend that
supporters of the old regime are holding up
progress toward democracy. They have
focused on the judiciary, which many
Egyptians see as too much under the sway of
Mubarak-era judges and prosecutors and
which has shaken up the political process sev-
eral times with its rulings, including by dis-
solving the lower house of parliament, which
the Brotherhood led.
His edicts effectively shut down the judicia-
rys ability to do so again. At the same time,
the courts were the only civilian branch of
government with a degree of independence:
Morsi already holds not only executive power
but also legislative authority, since there is no
parliament.
His move came at a time when he was
enjoying lavish praise from U.S. President
Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton for brokering a cease-re
between Israel and Gazas Hamas rulers on
Wednesday. Clinton had been in Cairo for
extensive talks with Morsi before the truce
was announced.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman
Victoria Nuland, said in a statement that the
edicts raise concerns for many Egyptians
and for the international community, adding
that the countrys revolution had aimed in part
to prevent too much power from being con-
centrated in one persons hands.
The U.S. urged all Egyptians to resolve
their differences over these important issues
peacefully and through democratic dialogue,
she said.
Amnesty International, the London-based
rights group, said Morsis new powers tram-
ple the rule of law and herald a new era of
repression.
Morsi aide Samer Marqous, a Coptic
Christian, resigned to protest the undemocra-
tic decree.
Morsis decision means dictatorship. He
creates the law, passes the law, and oversees
the law, said Manal Tibe, an activist who was
a member of the assembly writing the new
constitution until she withdrew earlier this
year to protest the Islamists domination of it.
He is the state and the state is him.

KABUL, Afghanistan A Taliban suicide
bomber detonated a truck full of explosives
Friday in eastern Afghanistan, killing three
Afghan civilians and wounding more than 90
people, including several Afghan and NATO
troops, ofcials said.
The early morning explosion in Maidan
Shahr, the capital of Wardak province, also
destroyed or damaged several government
ofces and a local prison, said provincial
spokesman Shahidullah Shahid.
The blast occurred in an area that is home to
government ofces, the provincial governors
ofce, police headquarters, a prison and a
coordination center used by international and
Afghan security forces.
Shahid said two men and a woman were
killed and 90 people 75 men, 11 women
and four children were wounded.
U.S. Army Maj. Adam Wojack, a
spokesman for the international military coali-
tion, said a half-dozen NATO soldiers also
received minor injuries in the explosion.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid
claimed responsibility for the bombing, say-
ing in a statement to media that it was in
response to the recent execution of four
Taliban detainees at the Afghan governments
main detention center in Kabul.

Letters to the editor
By Dwight L. Schwab Jr.
T
his week, President Barack Obamas
administration formally proposed
new rules requiring all insurers to
cover people with preexisting conditions and
set minimum health benets for millions of
others under the new U.S. health care reform
law.
Just two weeks after Obamas re-election
ensured the survival of the 2010 law
Republicans had vowed to repeal, the propos-
al is the rst in an expected deluge of rule-
making to implement the law in time for its
Jan. 1, 2014 start date.
Dening essential benets, guaranteeing
sick people access to coverage and promot-
ing healthy living are well-known goals of
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act, commonly termed Obamacare.
But the proposed rules set down in writing
how each would be accomplished while giv-
ing stakeholders and the public an opportuni-
ty for comment.
The benets rule provides states and insur-
ers guidance on benets and costs that must
be covered through new state-based online
health care exchanges and
through small-group and
individual plans that are
outside the exchanges but
not grandfathered under
the law.
Taking aim at critics
who say reforms amount
to a rigid, one-size-ts-
all bureaucratic system,
the Department of Health and Human
Services proposed giving states the discretion
to choose essential benet benchmarks from
typical private or public plans already operat-
ing within their borders.
Health insurance companies would be pro-
hibited from denying coverage because of a
preexisting condition or charging higher pre-
miums because of current or past health
problems, gender or occupation. The rules
would ensure access to catastrophic coverage
plans for young adults and others who could
not afford coverage otherwise.
The administration also proposed a rule to
expand employment-based wellness pro-
grams to help control health care spending
and to protect individuals from unfair under-
writing practices that could otherwise reduce
benets based on their health status.
In the coming months, it will be interesting
to see how many states go along with health
exchanges mandatory to the law.
This is only the beginning of the biggest
government program in the history of the
country.

Israel
Editor,
The Associated Press article Israel strike
kills 11 in Gaza, including children in the
Nov. 19 edition of the Daily Journal is mis-
leading. It doesnt say that the Israel attacks
on Gaza are because Palestinians have red
hundreds of rockets into Israel in an attempt to
kill and injure civilians. It states Palestinian
militants instead of calling them Palestinian
terrorists which they are. It refers to criticism
of Israel for civilian casualties four years ago,
but Judge Goldstone later retracted his U.N.
report. Israel tries to minimize civilian casual-
ties, but is hindered because the Palestinian
terrorists dont wear uniforms and hide their
missiles and launchers in homes and other
places where they use civilians as human
shields.

Global warming
Editor,
George Hoss alleges that there has not been
any global warming for the last 16 years,
according to his sources (Destructive taxes
letter to the editor in the Nov. 21 edition of the
Daily Journal).
The National Climatic Data Center has
proof that the last eight months of 2012 (since
the year is not over) is the hottest in recorded
history with measured temperature proof. If
Hoss doesnt agree with the carbon taxes,
that is ne. When he cites at incorrect facts, I
do have a problem with that. In light of the
recent East Coast superstorm and other
extraordinary weather events, I am sure Hoss
is feeling a bit defensive trying to convince
folks that everything is just ne.
The results of the recent election, in which
the party that believes overwhelmingly in evi-
dence of global warming won, that the earth is
more than 2,000 years old and in the scientic
fact of evolution probably is adding to the dis-
comture of Hoss.
I would like to add a quote directly from the
source Hoss quoted that he claims is at odds
with climate change, Englands Met Ofce.
While we didnt nd evidence that climate
change has affected the odds of all the
extreme weather events we looked at, we did
see that some events were signicantly more
likely. Overall were seeing that human inu-
ence is having a marked impact on some types
of extreme weather. Im afraid I dont read
that evaluation as Hoss did, and I quote him,
According to Englands Met Ofce there has
not been any global warming the last 16
years. Would it be too much to ask that sup-
porting sources are quoted correctly so that
your argument might be taken seriously?
John J. Dillon
San Bruno
Email is private?
Editor,
Your and my emails are going to be a public
record. U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy has rewritten
a bill that would allow more than 22 agencies,
including the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the FCC to access
Americans emails, Google Docs les,
Facebook wall posts and Twitter direct mes-
sages without a search warrant.
It also would give the FBI and Homeland
Security more authority, in some circum-
stances, to gain full access to Internet accounts
without notifying either the owner or a judge.
Is this what we, Americans, have signed up
for? What is next? A visit from the Feds to
your bedroom? Sure, if you are not doing any-
thing wrong, you have nothing to fear they
say. I have this bridge I like to sell you com-
plete with a bankrupt high-speed rail train sys-
tem to nowhere.

Gaza
Editor,
There are many people who criticize Israel
for defending her population from rocket
attacks from Hamas-ruled Gaza. They claim
to want peace for all, but refuse to acknowl-
edge the war crimes of Hamas. More impor-
tantly, they refuse to condemn the Hamas
leadership that purposely puts its people in
harms way.
Gaza was once at 2 percent unemployment
under Israeli occupation, but now it is over 40
percent. Hamas has done nothing to build a
state, but has done its best to destroy its neigh-
boring state. If people really care about the
Palestinian suffering in Gaza, they would
work to remove Hamas from the government
there.

High-speed rail still
seems unaffordable
Torrance Daily Breeze
W
hen Californians gave the states
high-speed rail project its initial
go-ahead four years ago, oppo-
nents called the plan unaffordable and unre-
alistic. Nothing has happened since to prove
the skeptics wrong.
The bullet trains promoters have been
forced to backtrack on projection after pro-
jection. On cost: It was raised to triple what
voters were told, then trimmed to double. On
ridership, revenue and prots: The forecasts
for all of those have been lowered. On job
creation: A rosy estimate of hundreds of
thousands of jobs turned out to be phony,
calculated by counting, say, one job that lasts
10 years as 10 jobs.
And now comes the latest adjustment, in
the construction calendar. Ofcials of the
California High-Speed Rail Authority said
the rst phase of construction, on a 130-mile
segment of the states Central Valley, now is
scheduled to be completed by December
2017, a year later than previously stated.
The delay will reduce cost, which certainly
is worthwhile for a project with a (current)
$68 billion price tag.
But this further lowering of expectations is
another reason to think the voters were sold a
fantasy when they approved $9.9 billion in
bonds in November 2008 and that the project
should not be speeding toward groundbreak-
ing next summer.
In fact, it is not speeding along, whether or
not its promoters acknowledge that fact. Gov.
Jerry Browns grand plan to connect the Los
Angeles and San Francisco areas at 220 mph
by the year 2033 continues to take one chug
forward on the political and legal track even
as it takes one chug backward on the rhetori-
cal track.
Its key legislative approval was achieved
only by the narrowest possible margin a few
months ago when the state Senate voted 21-
19 to approve $5.8 billion in early funding
from bonds and the federal government. Four
Democrats defected to the no side, citing
the cost and timing.
And a key legal obstacle was cleared only
tentatively last week when a Superior Court
judge in Sacramento denied a request by
Central Valley farmers for an injunction
against planning for the construction of rail
lines through their property.
The substance of the farmers lawsuit is
expected to be heard in the spring and
thats not the only suit the high-speed rail
system faces from property owners and envi-
ronmentalists.
Hanging over what could become Browns
signature project is the question of afford-
ability. Californians voted for the initial bond
as the state and nation were sinking into
recession. Four years later, the damage from
the bad economy continues to be felt, and it
remains unclear how all of the bonds, federal
funding, private investment and operating
revenue will add up to pay for the 520-mile
rail line.
The ranks of the skeptics should be grow-
ing, not shrinking, as the public waits for
proof that the bullet-train project we might
end up with is the bullet-train project we
were promised.

The stock market enjoyed some
Black Friday cheer, rising sharply as
shoppers braved the annual post-
Thanksgiving rush. Major indexes were
on track for their biggest weekly gains
since early June.
Traders were encouraged by positive
economic news from Germany and
China, two engines of global growth.
Technology stocks soared after a few
weeks of selling. And early reports
from retailers suggested that consumers
may be ready to spend a sign of the
economys progress.
Foot traffic appears heavier than
weve seen in recent years, there are a
lot of positive statements out of the
companies themselves, and momentum
appears to be strong, said JJ Kinahan,
chief derivatives strategist at the bro-
kerage TD Ameritrade.
Many stores opened earlier than ever
this year, Kinahan said, allowing for
earlier informal reports about their per-
formance.
Technology stocks soared, lifting the
Nasdaq composite index by more than 1
percent. Computer maker Dell, chip-
maker AMD and computing giant
Hewlett-Packard were the top three
gainers in the Standard & Poors 500
index. Technology rose the most among
the indexs 10 industry groups.
The stocks were bouncing back after
confidence in tech stocks declined
broadly, Kinahan said. AMD dropped
sharply in recent weeks as investors
fretted about its solvency. HP plunged
12 percent on Tuesday after executives
said that a company HP bought for $10
billion last year lied about its finances.
The Nasdaq rose 29 points, or 1 per-
cent, to 2,955 as of 12:30 p.m. EST. The
Dow Jones industrial average gained
110 to 12,947. The S&P 500 added 12
to 1,402.
Stocks started strong after news that
German business confidence rose unex-
pectedly in November after six straight
declines. The gain in a closely watched
index published by Munichs Ifo insti-
tute raised hopes that Europes largest
economy can continue to weather the
continents financial crisis.
Chinas manufacturing expanded for
the first time in 13 months in
November, the latest sign that the
worlds second-biggest economy is
recovering from its deepest slump since
the 2008 global crisis. HSBC Corp. said
its monthly Purchasing Managers
Index improved to 50.4 for November.
Any number above 50 indicates expan-
sion.

PORTLAND, Ore. WalMart work-
ers and supporters marched in protest at
a number of stores nationwide Thursday
and Friday, blasting the wages, benets
and treatment of employees of the
worlds largest retailer.
The efforts seemed to do little to keep
shoppers away though Wal-Mart
Stores Inc. said it was its best Black
Friday ever.
In Paramount, Calif., authorities
arrested a small group of protesters
Friday outside a Walmart. Elizabeth
Brennan of Warehouse Workers United
said nine people, including three
employees, were arrested shortly after
12 noon for blocking the street outside
the store in Paramount. At one point,
however, more than 1,000 people
blocked traffic outside the store,
Sheriffs Capt. Mike Parker told KNBC-
TV.
In Lakewood, Colo., shoppers hesitat-
ed as they passed dozens of protesters
outside a Walmart but entered without
incident. Some protesters held signs
playing off of the retailing giants corpo-
rate slogan, Live better, accusing the
company of corporate greed and under-
paying its workers.
This is the way you get a fair shake.
Youve got to ght for it. Youve always
had to, said protester Charlie May, of
the Industrial Workers of the World labor
organization.
A union-backed group called OUR
Walmart has said that it is holding an
estimated 1,000 protests in 46 states.
The exact number is unclear. Wal-Mart
has refuted that estimate, saying the g-
ure is grossly exaggerated and that the
protests involved few of its own employ-
ees.
A number of demonstrations and
walk-outs occurred last week at stores
but were scheduled to culminate on one
of the years busiest shopping days.
OUR Walmart, made up of current and
former WalMart employees, was formed
in 2010 to press the company for better
working conditions.
The retailer led an unfair labor prac-
tice charge with the National Labor
Relations Board last week against the
United Food and Commercial Workers
International Union. The company said
that the demonstrations organized by
OUR Walmart threatened to disrupt its
business and intimidate customers and
associates.

BRUSSELS A European Union
summit charged with agreeing on a long-
term budget for the 27-nation bloc has
broken up without a deal.
European Council President Herman
Van Rompuy, who presides over the
summits, that the national leaders had
told him and European Commission
President Jose Manuel Barroso to con-
tinue working toward consensus over the
coming weeks.
Van Rompuy said the constructive
discussions at the summit meant that an
agreement could be reached early next
year. Barroso, too, called the talks con-
structive. But he added, we are not yet
at the point of reaching consensus.
The prospect of failure had loomed
over the EU leaders summit, charged
with agreeing on a (euro) 1 trillion
($1.25 trillion) long-term spending plan
for the 27-country bloc, even before the
meeting began. Some countries wanted
the budget to rise, other wanted to it to
fall and all had veto power.
Van Rompuy tried to thread the nee-
dle. He proposed a budget with some
cuts. But in a post-summit press confer-
ence he offered a nod to those countries
who believe greater spending is essential
to kickstart some recession-hit coun-
tries economies. Growth in one coun-
try benets all, he said.
The EU budget primarily funds pro-
grams to help farming and spur growth
in the blocs less developed countries. In
nancial terms, the budget amounts to
only about 1 percent of the EUs gross
domestic product, but carries great polit-
ical signicance as it lays bare the bal-
ance of power between the blocs mem-
bers.

NEW YORK The tablet computer
is without a doubt the gift of the season
just like it was last year. But if you
resisted the urge in 2011, now is the time
to give in. This seasons tablets are bet-
ter all around. Intense competition has
kept prices very low, making tablets
incredible values compared to smart-
phones and PCs.
The rst step in the buying process is
to decide on the size of the tablet. They
fall into two rough categories: the full-
sized tablet, pioneered by the iPad, and
the half-size tablet, epitomized by the
Kindle Fire.
Full-sized tablets, which generally
have screens measuring about 10 inches
on the diagonal, are better for surng
websites designed for PCs, and far better
when it comes to displaying magazines
and documents. Overall, they go further
toward replacing a laptop. They cost
$400 and up.
Half-sized tablets, which have screens
measuring roughly 7 inches on the diag-
onal, are cheaper and lighter, but just as
good as full-sized tablets for e-book
reading. Its an excellent rst computing
device for a kid, or a gentle nudge into
the digital world for an older adult with
little computing experience. This years
crop costs $199 and up, but last years
models are available for less.

The Aragon football team knew they would
have to play a near awless football game
against No. 1 St. Francis-Mountain View if
the Dons were to stand a chance Friday night.
And if they played awlessly, against one of
the best defenses in the Central Coast Section,
the Dons knew they were in for a tall order.
Just how tall, exactly? Well, consider that
Aragon went into the one-minute mark of the
second quarter tied 7-7 with the West Catholic
Athletic League power. And 25 minutes later,
Dons quarterback Nat Blood answered the
what happened out there? question with,
To be honest, Im not really sure what hap-
pened.
The Lancers hit the Dons like a train in the
games last 25 minutes. St. Francis dominated
in that stretch, scoring 34 unanswered points
for an eventual 41-7 win.
The loss ends Aragons season at 8-4 while
the Lancers advance to the Division II nal
next week against Los Gatos.
We failed to convert, said Aragon head
coach Steve Sell. And I think it was just a
matter of time before they started running the
ball. I was kind of waiting for them. And I
said, Why dont we test them a little more
running the football. [But] we were kind of
making things up at we went. We tried to be a
little more creative.
The Lancers put up 286 yards of offense in
the second half to Aragons 199 that after a
rst half where the totals stood at 129-106.
Blood hooked up with JD Elzie with 3:36
left in the second quarter on a 30-yard touch-
down that saw No. 21 break through a pair of
tackles and then bolt into the end zone to tie
the game. The score opened a lot of eyes and
gave Aragon some serious momentum. The
Dons built even more of that after stopping St.
Francis on its ensuing drive.
But it was on the Lancers punt that the
Aragon lost the game. The ball sailed over

SAN JOSE The Serra football team
twice was poised to beat Bellarmine this sea-
son and twice the Padres came up short.
About six inches each time.
The Bells stuffed Serra on a 2-point conver-
sion attempt in a 35-34 overtime win Oct. 13
and they did it again on a fourth-and-goal
from the 2-yard line as Bellarmine held off
Serra 17-12 in a Central Coast Section Open
Division semifinal game Friday night at
Independence High.
It hurts me to know everything [we] put
into this season, [we] wont get to experience
again next week, said Serra coach Patrick
Walsh.
Down 17-5 in the fourth quarter, Serra (9-3)
had its two best drives of the night as the
Padres attempted to rally against one of the
top teams in Northern California. After Eric
Redwood scored on a ve-yard run to cut the
Padres decit to 17-12 with 8:27 to play, the
Padres defense stiffened and forced
Bellarmine (11-1) to punt. Taking over at their
own 12 with 6:37 left in the game, the Padres
moved swiftly down the eld. After picking
up a couple of rst downs, the Padres faced
third-and-6 at their own 39. Quarterback Zack
Kazakoff took the snap and dropped back to
throw, with a Bellarmine defender in his face.
Kazakoff quickly hit Redwood in the at and
he took off for a 34-yard gain to the
Bellarmine 26. Two plays later, Kava Cassidy
gave Serra a rst-and-goal at the Bells 10.
The Padres got down to the Bellarmine 2 and
on fourth down, Cassidy was stopped about
six inches short of the goal line with 48 sec-
onds to play.
Bellarmine then ran out the clock to
advance to next weeks Open Division cham-
pionship game.
Theres a little bit of luck (involved) in
(winning) the Open Division, Walsh said.
And the Padres had none of it. When
Redwood was taken down following his 34-
yard catch-and-run, he broke his collarbone.
He carried the ball one more time for three

PASADENA UCLA and Stanford couldnt
really be blamed for looking back or looking
ahead right about now.
The Bruins and Cardinal insist theyre only
looking at each other.
Both schools are basking in the glow of thrilling
victories that would have been appropriate caps to
their strong seasons. Instead, two teams on
dynamic ve-game winning
streaks still must face each
other at the Rose Bowl on
Saturday and possibly
again next week in the Pac-
12 title game.
We cant worry about
next week, Stanford coach
David Shaw said. Right
now, weve got one game this
week. If we play it and play
it well enough, well earn
another one, and well deal with that if that hap-
pens. But for right now, we have one game that
were all concentrating on.
Both California institutions are on rolls heading
into a meeting that could be a dress rehearsal for
the Pac-12 title game six days later. No. 15 UCLA
(9-2, 6-2 Pac-12) clinched the Pac-12 South title
by blasting Southern California last weekend,
while No. 11 Stanford (9-2, 7-1) moved to the
brink of its own chance to play for the league title
by stunning Oregon.
The Cardinal can clinch the North with a victo-
ry over the Bruins in Pasadena, or a loss by
Oregon in the Civil War against Oregon State. If
Stanford and Oregon both lose Saturday, UCLA
would even host the title game a remarkable
development for Los Angeles new pre-eminent
football power after knocking off the Trojans.
While the Cardinal have been a top team for a
few years now, the Bruins appear to be adjusting
well to higher expectations and bigger goals, such
as an upset win over the school that played in the

NEW ORLEANS Malcolm Jenkins spent
a good chunk of his offseason in front of a tele-
vision, reviewing New Orleans crushing loss to
San Francisco in last seasons playoffs.
The 36-32 thriller was a defeat he would
never get over or be able to forget, so he gured
he might as well learn from it.
I probably watched that game about four or
ve times, the entire game, the Saints safety
said this week. I just marked down the type of
things I needed to improve on or us as a defense
needed to improve on so that we dont make
those mistakes again in the same situation.
Less than a year later, a high-stakes rematch
is set when the NFC West-leading 49ers (7-2-1)
visit the resurgent Saints (5-5), who are trying
to prolong a captivating rally back into playoff
contention after an 0-4 start.
Everybody probably circled this game
whenever they announced the schedule,
Jenkins said. Its going to be a big game for us.
Its going to be a lot of emotion, but right now
all we can do is make sure that we prepare men-
tally and not get too caught up in the hype.
There is plenty of intrigue surrounding this
game, including a potential
quarterback quandary for
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh
following the impressive
rst career start of Colin
Kaepernick in the Niners
32-7 demolition of the
Chicago Bears last Monday
night.
With established starter
Alex Smith still recovering
from a concussion,
Kaepernick demonstrated he could make all the
throws needed to pick apart a respected Bears
defense. Kaepernick is also
an exceptional scrambler,
as anyone who watched his
highlight-lled college
career at Nevada knows.
So even if Smith is
deemed ready to return in
the Big Easy, Kaepernick
could get the start.
In both guys we have
quarterbacks that were
condent in, believe in, have won for us,
Saints, 49ers playing well as they meet again

ALAMEDA Marcel Reece isnt putting much value behind
the numbers hes had in the two games since taking over as the
Oakland Raiders starting running back.
He might be the only one.
Oaklands primary fullback the past two seasons, Reece has
amassed nearly 300 yards in total offense while providing some
much-needed stability to a backeld that has been plagued by
injuries this year. Last week against New Orleans, he fell 10
receiving yards shy of joining Hall of Famer Marcus Allen as the
only players in franchise history to have 100 yards rushing and
100 yards receiving in one game.
Just dont expect him to make a big deal
about it.
None of that matters unless you get a
W, Reece said Friday. I dont care if its
number of touches. I dont care if its num-
ber of yards or lack thereof. If youre not
winning, it doesnt matter.
With the Raiders (3-7) mired in a three-
game losing streak, Reece shrugs off his
achievements as little more than stats on
paper.
Yes, hes got a higher yards-per-carry
average than Darren McFadden. And his 151 rushing yards over
the past two weeks are more than backups Mike Goodson and
Taiwan Jones have combined for the entire season.
But for a player who has never been on a team that won more
than eight games since entering the NFL as an undrafted wide
receiver out of Washington in 2008, the numbers are meaning-
less without the corresponding success in the standings.
When it really comes down to it, youre just trying to make
plays the way youre supposed to make plays, Reece said. Its
about being able to contribute to trying to help your team win
and being productive at it.
Reece toiled in relative obscurity for the rst two months of
the season despite being one of the Raiders most productive
players in 2011.
That all changed when McFadden and Goodson got hurt dur-
ing Oaklands Nov. 4 game against Tampa Bay. While Jones, a
fourth-round pick last year, seemed like a logical replacement,
hes had problems hanging onto the ball so the Raiders turned to
Reece.
Thus far the results have been impressive.
I knew he was a weapon (but) I didnt know exactly how he
was going to t or how he was going to run, Oakland coach
Dennis Allen said. Hes done an outstanding job. As long as he
continues to do the things hes doing well continue to give him
opportunities.
Including this week in Cincinnati.
McFadden and Goodson are both out while Jones is question-
able. All three have ankle injuries, and while McFadden has
made slow progress, it hasnt been enough to get back on the
practice eld.
That means a third straight start at tailback for Reece, though
fellow fullback Owen Schmitt isnt sure his teammate should
even have a position title next to his name.
Hes just an athlete in a big-mans body, Schmitt said. Yeah
his title is fullback, but really hes a guy that can do it all. He can,
when needed, do anything you ask. A guy like that is so valuable
on the team.
Quarterback Carson Palmer has started relying more heavily
on Reece, too, as the Raiders wide receiving corps battles its
own injury issues.
After catching 18 passes for 177 yards in Oaklands rst seven
games, Reece has 19 receptions for 241 yards over the past three.
At some point over the next two weeks, Reece is also likely to
double his career output in both rushing and receiving. If he
does, dont expect much talk about it.
Its just whatever, Reece said. You just go out there and do
your job to the best of your abilities. You ght for the guy thats
to the left and to the right of you and behind you. No one man,
no one group, is bigger than this team.
Notes: DT Richard Seymour (knee, hamstring) accompanied
the team on the ight to Cincinnati but will sit out his third
straight game. ... SS Tyvon Branch practiced without limitations
and is expected to start after missing last weeks game against
New Orleans with a neck injury.

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas Chasson Randle had been
having the same problem good shooters face: the ball wasnt
going in.
All shooters follow the credo that the next one is going in and
Randle did Friday.
Randle broke out of a 3-point shooting slump and scored 21
points to lead Stanford to a 66-50 victory over Northern Iowa in
the consolation seminals of the Battle 4 Atlantis.
Randle, known as a good shooter, had a rough start to the sea-
son, making 3 of 22 from beyond the arc in the Cardinals rst ve
games. He nished 4 of 6 on Friday and made one with 8:12 left
after Northern Iowa closed to 49-45. That started an 11-2 run that
put the game away. Stanford was 8 for 19 from beyond the arc.
Thats just me being me. It was in my own head, Randle said.
My teammates and coaches kept telling me to keep shooting. It
was all up to me to start making shots.
Stanford (4-2) will meet Minnesota in the fth-place game
Saturday. The Golden Gophers beat No. 19 Memphis 84-75.
I give my guys for playing as they did in a game like this,
Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins said. In a tournament like this it
can be easy to have things snowball on you.
You can see we are starting to put the pieces together as we
wait for Anthony Brown and Aaron Bright to return from injuries.
At the other end of the spectrum for the Cardinal, Dwight
Powell, who had 18 points and 10 rebounds in the 78-70 opening-
round loss to No. 13 Missouri, had two points on 0-for-3 shooting
and two rebounds against Northern Iowa.
He was battling foul trouble right away and its hard to get any
consistency when that happens to you, Dawkins said. But
Dwight found a way to help us by bringing energy when he was
on the bench.

NHL cancels more games including, All-Star game
More than a third of the NHL regular season and two of its
marquee events have now been called off.
The league announced its latest round of cancellations on
Friday Day 69 of its labor lockout. All games through Dec. 14
were wiped out, and this time All-Star Weekend, scheduled for
Jan. 26-27 in Columbus, Ohio, was lost, too. The New Years Day
outdoor Winter Classic already was scratched.
NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said losing the All-Star
festivities is extremely disappointing.
We feel badly for NHL fans and particularly those in
Columbus, and we intend to work closely with the Blue Jackets
organization to return the NHL All-Star events to Columbus and
their fans as quickly as possible, Daly said in a statement Friday.
The Blue Jackets said fans holding tickets to the game, the
skills competition, and other events during that weekend could
receive refunds.
Brian Jack, a 35-year-old IT director who grew up in
Pittsburgh, moved to Columbus 17 years ago and converted from
a Penguins fan to a Blue Jackets supporter after the expansion
team hit the ice.
We knew the All-Star Game, the longer it went, was probably
going to be one of the rst special events they cancelled, said
Jack, a season-ticket holder for all of the Blue Jackets 12 sea-
sons.

NEW YORK The rule that
negated using video replay to con-
rm a Houston Texans touchdown
may be too harsh and will be re-
examined immediately, NFL director
of football operations Ray Anderson
said Friday.
Anderson, also co-chairman of the
competition committee that suggests
rules changes to the owners, said a
change could come this year. The
NFL traditionally resists changing
rules during a season.
We will certainly discuss the rule
with the competition committee
members, as we do all situations
involving unique and unusual cir-
cumstances, and determine if we feel
a change should be recommended to
ownership, Anderson said in a state-
ment.
Not being able to review a play in
this situation may be too harsh, and
an unintended consequence of trying
to prevent coaches from throwing
their challenge ag for strategic pur-
poses in situations that are not sub-
ject to a coaches challenge.
Anderson added the NFL is not
bound by past events when a rule is
proved to have loopholes, and that a
15-yard penalty for throwing the
challenge ag on a play that is auto-
matically reviewed might be enough.
For now, throwing the challenge ag
also eliminates the use of replay. All
scoring plays otherwise are
reviewed.
Justin Forsetts third-quarter 81-
yard run in the Texans 34-31 over-
time victory at Detroit on Thursday
initially was ruled a touchdown,
although replays clearly showed his
knee and elbow touched the turf
when he was hit by Lions defenders.
Detroit coach Jim Schwartz chal-
lenged, resulting in a 15-yard
unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and
the negated use of video replay.
I overreacted, Schwartz
acknowledged. And I cost us.
In 2011, instant replay rules were
changed to have the replay ofcial
initiate a review of all scoring plays.
The rule stated that a team is pre-
vented from challenging a play if that
team commits a foul that prevents the
next snap, or if a challenge ag is
thrown when an automatic review
would take place. A 15-yard
unsportsmanlike conduct penalty is
assessed as well as the elimination of
the replay review for the play.
But, as Anderson noted, getting the
calls right is paramount and that the
league may have overlooked the sce-
nario that occurred in Detroit.
Anderson also said the play in
which Lions defensive tackle
Ndamukong Suh kicked Texans
quarterback Matt Schaub in the groin
will be reviewed. He called the play
out of the ordinary.
Suh could face a suspension if he
is found to have intentionally kicked
Schaub. A year ago on Thanksgiving,
Suh was ejected for stomping on the
right arm of Green Bay offensive
lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith and
subsequently was suspended for two
games.
Suh has been ned in previous sea-
sons for roughing up quarterbacks
Andy Dalton, Jay Cutler and Jake
Delhomme.
Similar incidents to the replay ap,
but not involving scores happened
last season in San Franciscos win,
coincidentally at Detroit, and last
week when the Falcons beat Arizona.
The rule was adopted in part
because of a situation in a Redskins-
Giants game in December 2010.
Ofcials on the eld ruled a fum-
ble recovered by the Giants, and the
ball was made ready for play. But
Washington veteran linebacker
London Fletcher kicked the ball and
was called for delay of game. While
the penalty was being enforced,
Washington challenged the ruling of
a fumble.
The competition committee felt
that a team could benet from com-
mitting a penalty in that situation,
giving it more time to challenge a
play. It was decided that the new rule
would also apply when a team
throws the challenge ag on a play
that cant be challenged including
scoring plays, turnovers, when the
team is out of challenges or timeouts,
and inside the nal two minutes of a
half or game, or in overtime.

HoustonTexans running back JustinForsetts knee grazed the ground on
this play,which the referees missed. Forsett went on to score a touchdown,
setting off a bizarre ruling when Detroit coach JimSchwartz threw the
challenge ag.The Texans beat the Lions 34-31 in overtime.
Orange and Fiesta bowls in the past two sea-
sons.
I dont know how many of these guys
read the papers, UCLA coach Jim Mora
said. I think that they just are looking for-
ward to the challenge. They know that this is
a very good football team. Its pretty com-
mon knowledge. When a Top-10 team comes
to your town, to your stadium, theyd better
get your attention.
Neither coach is having much trouble get-
ting his team motivated these days not with
a BCS berth up for grabs after the stumble by
Oregon, which had dominated the conference
until last week. Stanford took care of the
Ducks with a historically impressive defensive
performance and UCLA didnt even have
to play Oregon this season.
Stanford linebacker Shayne Skov sees the
game in black-and-white terms regarding the
Cardinals aspirations for a Pac-12 title, even if
reality includes several shades of grey.
Weve had one goal in our mind since the
season started, said Skov, who made 10 tack-
les against Oregon. This week is literally all
that matters if we want to get there. Everything
we wanted to do this year is dependent upon
winning this week. So well be ready, and
hopefully itll be a great football game.
Stanford quarterback Kevin Hogan will
have difculty topping his rst two career
starts, beating Oregon State and Oregon in
consecutive games. Facing a ranked opponent
for the third time, Hogan is hoping to keep fol-
lowing the path of Andrew Luck, who beat
UCLA in each of the past three seasons.
Hogan hasnt spent much time considering
the oddness of this possible two-game series
between UCLA and Stanford.
I guess it is rare, he said. I dont know
how many times that happens. But coaches are
going to get us prepared, so were just going to
watch lm, study them and weve got to get
this game rst. Weve got to play well this
game before we can look ahead to anything
else.
Hogan has less experience than Brett
Hundley, who concludes his outstanding
freshman regular season with his rst look at
Stanfords imposing defense. Hundley is clos-
ing in on Cade McNowns single-season
school records for yards passing and total
offense, but hes aware the Bruins biggest
challenges still loom in their nal three games.

ties against Serra on what turned out to be the
Bells game-winning drive. The Padres also
were minus-1 in the turnover department, as
well.
It was a tough way to lose considering how
well the Serra defense played. The Padres held
the Bells to just 143 yards of offense, sacked
Bellarmine quarterback KJ Carta-Samuels three
times including once for a safety and held
star running back to Kenneth Olugbode to just
62 yards on 18 carries.
Tonight was one of the best (defensive) per-
formances of the year, Walsh said.
The Bellarmine defense was just as good. The
Bells held Serra to just 60 yards of offense in the
rst half, came up with a fumble recovery and
made the defensive stop of the night when they
needed it the most. Redwood was held to just 49
yards in the rst half, but ended the game with
126 yards on 22 carries.
The offense started well for Serra. After forc-
ing a Bellarmine punt on the rst drive of the
game, the Padres took over at their own 36 and
proceeded to take more than six minutes off the
clock as they methodically drove down the eld.
They lined up for a 38-yard eld goal attempt,
but holder Kenny McMillan took the snap and
shoveled a pass Fia Malepeai for a 10-yard gain
and a rst down at the Bellarmine 11. But a two-
yard gain was followed by a false start, a
Bellarmine sack and a rush no gain and the
Padres had to settle for an Anthony Toms 37-
yard eld goal for a 3-0 Serra lead.
The Bells responded with a similar drive but
they too had to settle for a eld goal, a 35 yarder
from Grant Bush.
From there, the rest of the rst half was a
defensive battle. With just over two minutes to
play in the second quarter, Bellarmine started a
drive from its own 15. A pair of penalties backed
the Bells up to their own 7-yard line before
Daniel Lavulo blew by his man and sacked
Carta-Samuels in the end zone for a safety and a
5-3 Serra lead at halftime.
All the momentum the Padres took into the
locker room, however, quickly shifted in the
third quarter. Taking the second-half kickoff,
Serra fumbled the snap on the rst play from
scrimmage which Bellarmine recovered and
eventually converted into a Olugbode 1-yard
plunge to take a 10-5 lead. After the Bellarmine
defense stopped Serra on downs on its next pos-
session, the Bells drove 69 yards on 11 plays
with Olugbode scoring his second touchdown of
the night with 10:19 to play.
After that, the Serra offense, which had been
missing in action for most of the game, nally
put a drive together, going 80 yards on seven
plays for a score, setting up the nal dramatic
minutes.
It was an entertaining game, Walsh said.
We were poised to go up. We showed a ton of
heart and resiliency.

SERRA
Elzies end and pinned the Dons deep in their territory where
they proceeded to go three-and-out. Then, an 11-yard punt
gave St. Francis the ball deep in Aragon territory with a minute
left in the half.
Three plays later, the Lancers scored and seemingly deated
the Dons.
That was critical, Sell said. If we get a decent punt return,
we might go up 14-7. I was feeling good about how we were
playing defense. We just started to run out of weapons offen-
sively as guys went down. But [St. Francis is] a great team.
They stop the run extremely well. They kind of forced us to be
one-dimensional and theyre an outstanding football team.
With them scoring right before half time, we felt we lost a
lot of momentum, Blood said. So, it was kind of quiet in the
locker room. But we felt proud to be that close against a real-
ly good team.
Perhaps sensing they had Aragon against the ropes, St.
Francis came out a completely different team to start the third
quarter. It took the Lancers eight plays to march down the eld
89 yards to take a 21-7 lead.
Usually that rst drive in the second half is critical, Sell
said. If we get the ball back and get a chance to score. Weve
been in that situation before. That rst drive is the tell-tale.
The Dons were already without No. 1 wide receiver Aldo
Severson, who hurt his shoulder against Hillsdale in the season
nale. Then things go really dicey when full back Patrick
Pauni injured his shoulder and watched the second half from
the sideline.
The offense just didnt mesh as smoothly, Blood said. So,
we werent as physical. We could have done a lot better.
The same cant be said about St. Francis. After a missed 43-
yard eld goal, the Lancers scored on touchdown drives of 53,
57, and 69 yards to add considerable distance between them
and the Dons.
In other CCS action, Menlo School upset Division IV No. 1
seed Seaside 41-27. Quarterback Jack Heneghan tossed four
touchdown passes in the win. In Division I, Sequoia could not
keep up with No. 1 Milpitas, ending its season with a 34-19
loss. The Cherokees went 9-3 for the 2012 campaign.

Weekend Nov. 24-25, 2012 THEDAILYJOURNAL
By Greg Beacham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Not many
young quarterbacks would even
have the audacity to imagine making
their rst career starts under the cir-
cumstances surrounding Max
Wittek at the Coliseum on Saturday
night.
The freshman is replacing Matt
Barkley, an injured senior who has
claimed most of the career passing
records at Southern California. Hes
facing Notre Dame (11-0), a storied
football power with a No. 1 ranking
and the nations most feared
defense.
The Irish need just one more win
to book a spot in the national title
game, and the struggling Trojans (7-
4) have lost three of four. Yet Wittek
also has arguably the best receiving
duo in the nation catching his passes
and a sold-out stadium rmly at his
back.
If the enormity of this occasion is
scaring Wittek, the condent 19-
year-old with a bigger arm than
Barkley hasnt shown it a bit.
You really cant ask for a better
opportunity to show what youve
got, Wittek said. I just want to get
that rst snap, maybe that rst hit,
out of the way, and Ill be ready to
go.
Although USC has dominated the
past decade in this delicious inter-
sectional rivalry, winning nine of 10
and missing a clean sweep by one
dropped touchdown pass two years
ago, Wittek and the Trojans realize
most of the pressure is on the other
sideline this time.
The Irish are just one win away
from completing a remarkable run
to the BCS title game in coach Brian
Kellys third season. With so many
pressure-packed wins already
behind them this season, the Irish
will hit the eld in downtown Los
Angeles simply trying not to get
caught up in the matchups history
or the history theyll make with a
victory.
You think about it, Notre Dame
safety Zeke Motta said. In the back
of your mind, its there that if you
win this game, youre going to play
in the national championship. What
more motivation do you need? But I
think we want to treat it like any
other game. Obviously its a rivalry
game, so were going to be playing
erce and tough. Were just focused
on who were playing against and
sticking it to them.
Notre Dame has done its part to
make the schools 84th meeting
appropriately memorable. The Irish
headed to the Coliseum with the No.
1 ranking for the sixth time in the
schools shared history, and theyre
unbeaten when facing USC for the
rst time since 1993.
USC is headed to a lower-tier
bowl game, but could halt its late-
season slide from the preseason No.
1 ranking by crushing the Irishs title
dreams. USC has stumbled after a 6-
1 start to a season of enormous
expectations, losing to Arizona,
Oregon and UCLA in the previous
four weeks.
This is a game where we can get
our respect back and get a good feel-
ing about ourselves, USC safety
T.J. McDonald said.
Both teams are made up of
teenagers and young adults who
cant possibly have the same con-
nection to this rivalry as thousands
of alumni, former players or football
fans who simply enjoy the college
sports best traditions. The USC
coaching staff attempted to remedy
some of those educational gaps this
week, with coach Lane Kifn and
defensive coordinator Ed Orgeron
speaking up in team meetings about
the series meaning and lore.
Kifn also played Notre Dames
ght song during USCs practices
this week, hoping to remind the
Trojans of their 31-17 upset win in
South Bend last year.
My dad never beat them, so he
denitely has a chip on his shoulder
when it comes to this rivalry, said
McDonald, whose father, Tim, also
was a defensive back at USC. All of
the Trojan family is watching.
Everyone wants to see how the
Trojans are going to play, how
theyre going to respond from last
week. Weve just got to be able to go
out there and make a statement.
Everybody on the USC offense
knows all about the imposing Irish
defense led by linebacker Manti
Teo, which has allowed just 10.1
points per game and eight touch-
downs all season. Notre Dames
punishing run defense has been
almost impenetrable, but its pass
defense has yet to be tested by an
offense with USCs talent even
with a freshman quarterback at the
controls.
Wittek has played only sparingly
this season, but has known he would
be under the spotlight this week
since the injured Barkley texted him
after last weeks loss: Lets go beat
the Irish.
After two full years of practice in
Kifns offense, Wittek is eager to
show the Trojans wont have to keep
it simple as they did two years ago,
when backup Mitch Mustain lled
in for the injured Barkley in Notre
Dames 20-16 win at the Coliseum.
Theyre a great defense, obvious-
ly one of the top defenses in the
NCAA, but every defense does have
their soft spots, Wittek said.
Theirs are obviously limited in
being such a great defense, but we
are looking forward to taking advan-
tage of some of those soft spots.
Freshman QB leads USC against No. 1 Notre Dame
Pacific hands
St. Marys its first loss
ANAHEIM Lorenzo McCloud
scored 18 points on 5-of-10 shoot-
ing including an 8 for 9 perform-
ance from the free-throw line to lead
Pacic past Saint Marys 76-66 on
Friday afternoon.
McCloud was one of four players
in double gures for the Tigers.
Ross Rivera scored 14 points, Khalil
Kelley had 12 and Sama Taku
chipped in with 11.
Pacic (3-2) shot 53.1 percent
from the eld and was 21 of 26 from
the free-throw line compared to the
Gaels which made only 9 of 10.
The Tigers led 32-29 at the break
and opened the second half with a
26-10 run capped off by Andrew
Bock who sunk two free throws
with 6:06 to play to make it 58-39,
giving Pacic its largest lead.
Matthew Dellavedova had 16
points for Saint Marys (4-1) while
Stephen Holt and Beau Levesque
each had 15. The Gaels were 11 of
27 from beyond the arc.

Gennifer Brandon also scored 15.
Brittany Boyd had 13 points, 10
assists and eight steals. Afure
Jemerigbe was 3 of 4 from 3-point
range, adding 11 points. Reshanda
Gray came off the bench and scored
10 points.
California was up 43-37 at half-
time. The Golden Bears shot 56.9 per-
cent from the eld for the game, scor-
ing 28 points off turnovers.
Aubrey Ashenfelter and Chenise
Pakootas led the Eagles with 12
points each. Laura Hughes, shooting 5
of 6 from the eld, added another 12
points for the Eagles (1-3). The
Eagles shot 46 percent from the eld
for the game.
Californias win makes it 4-0 for
the rst time since the 2009-10 Sweet
16 team began its season 7-0.

Harbaugh said. We have condence in our
guys. Its great for us that were in that posi-
tion.
Smith had little doubt there would be an extra
edge to this seasons meeting with the Saints.
Theyre on a roll. They get a little chance at
revenge, Smith said. Everybody that watched
that (playoff) game remembers it. And certainly
us that took part in it I know that. It was a
physical game. It was back and forth, some talk-
ing going on out there on the eld. Im sure its
in the back of their heads. Im sure they remem-
ber it and the chance to get us on their turf.
This time, there is more at stake for the Saints
than 49ers, who hold a 1 1/2-game lead in their
division.
New Orleans is virtually out of the divisional
race because of Atlantas 9-1 record, but by
winning ve of six games, the Saints have nar-
rowly kept alive the dream of playing a Super
Bowl in the Superdome in February. New
Orleans entered this weekend a game behind
three teams Tampa Bay, Seattle and
Minnesota which are tied for the nal NFC
wild-card playoff spot.
With six games remaining, its plausible New
Orleans will overcome the bounty scandal and a
poor start to the regular season and wind up in
its fourth straight postseason.
But doing so could become less realistic if the
Saints cannot extend their current winning
streak to four with a victory over San Francisco.
In some aspects, the game has the makings of
a mismatch in the Niners favor, starting with
San Franciscos No. 1 running game (165.3
yards per game) against New Orleans league-
worst run defense (157.8 yards allowed per
game).
Lately, however, the Saints have been better
on defense, and linebacker Jonathan Vilma said
he did not expect the game to be dened by
such statistics.
I sure hope not, Vilma said, noting if the
Saints play well offensively and get a lead, that
will help reduce the number of runs the Niners
attempt. It just depends how the game plays
out. ... Of course, for us, we dont see ourselves
bending over and giving them 165 (yards) a
game like theyve been getting, and thatll be a
challenge.
The game also pits the 49ers fearsome pass
rush, led by linebacker Aldon Smith (15 sacks),
against a Saints offensive line that is a little
beaten up. Starting right tackle Zach Strief is
trying to come back from a left groin injury. His
replacement, Charles Brown, was hurt last
week, meaning rookie Bryce Harris could make
his rst start against the Niners ferocious
defensive front.
You just cant have any wasted movements
or any wasted time, Saints quarterback Drew
Brees said. You always just have to be con-
scious that you cant just be sitting back there
holding that ball. You have to know where your
outlets are.
Those outlets could include Darren Sproles,
who has missed three games with a broken left
hand but practiced fully this week.
And its not like New Orleans couldnt move
the ball in last years matchup, surpassing 30
points despite an unusually high ve turnovers.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico
Family and friends of former boxing
champion Hector Macho Camacho
kept a somber vigil Friday at the
hospital in Puerto Rico where he
remains on life support.
Doctors in San Juan have said
Camacho is clinically brain dead
from a shooting earlier this week in
his hometown of Bayamon. But rel-
atives and friends told The
Associated Press they are still
wrestling with whether to remove
him from life support.
It is a very difcult decision, a
very delicate decision, said former
pro boxer Victor Luvi Callejas, a
longtime friend, in a phone inter-
view. The last thing we lose is hope
and faith. If there is still hope and
faith, why not wait a little more?
Camachos oldest son, Hector
Camacho Jr., told reporters his father
has not been disconnected from an
artificial respirator and that he
believes he is still alive.
My father is a boxer and were
going to let him ght for his life, he
said. The doctors have said a lot of
things, but he is alive, hes in the
ght.
Two of Camachos sisters have
asked that he remain on life support
until Saturday.
Aida Camacho, one of the boxers
aunts, said in an interview that the
family could decide by late Friday
whether to donate his organs.
As some relatives and friends con-
tinued to pray for a miracle, condo-
lences kept coming in for the boxers
family and preparations have begun
for memorials and a funeral Mass.
Gov. Luis Fortuno said he lament-
ed what he called a sudden loss.
Macho will always be remem-

A ood of shoppers surged into Bay Area
malls as early as 5 a.m., and mall parking lots
lled by the afternoon.
In San Francisco, crowds of shoppers bub-
bled up from the BART station at the
Westeld Mall on Powell Street and into the
shopping center this afternoon.
We denitely had a big inux of shoppers
people from Union Square made their way
over here, Westfield San Francisco
Marketing Director Amy Benson said.
As of 4 p.m., she said the mall had already
seen a higher number of shoppers compared
to last years Black Friday counts.
About a dozen stores with entrances on the
street opened their doors at 5 a.m., while the
majority of the malls stores opened at 7 a.m.,
said Benson.
An employee at American Eagle Outtters
said that customer crowds stayed steady from
the moment doors opened Friday morning.
Amber Asaly, a sales associate at the malls
Fossil store, said that just getting to work was
far more hectic than usual.
I had to wait ve minutes for an elevator,
she said.
Long lines of shoppers looking for a mid-
day energy boost formed at the shopping cen-
ters food and beverage shops. Available
chairs and benches were lled with people,
and some even grabbed spots on the ground to
take a break from the action.
One shopper, 55-year-old Steve Raphel of
Walnut Creek, waited in the food court yester-
day afternoon for family members to return
from their shopping sprees. He said the
crowds were about what he expected.
You just have to be patient, he said.
Other shoppers glimpsed free entertain-
ment, with Cirque de Soleil giving hourly per-
formances in front of Bloomingdales and a
holiday light show displayed in the malls
overhead dome twice hourly in the late after-
noon and evening, according to Benson.
At the Westeld Oakridge Mall in San Jose,
hungry early-morning shoppers were given
free Luna bars to help keep awake.
And at Sun Valley Shopping Center in
Concord, thousands waited outside the mall
for early-bird deals, said Kim Trupiano, the
malls marketing director.
Food purveyors there saw some of the
longest lines, as did department stores such as
Macys and JC Penny, and clothing retailers
H&M and Forever 21, Trupiano said.
She said she spotted some shoppers loading
strollers full of shopping bags, and one
woman who tugged overowing Macys bags
along the ground.
People are really shopping, she said. I
think its a good indicator that people are will-
ing to spend.
Some shoppers in San Francisco said they
werent searching for specific deals, but
turned out to stock up on holiday gifts while
spending time with family.
Debi Cheek, 58, and her daughter Christa
Cheek, 31, headed to San Francisco from
Modesto in keeping with a family Black
Friday shopping tradition.
We didnt have a list, said Debi Cheek,
who carried a few Macys shopping bags.
I dont think you could give me a good
enough deal to shop on Thanksgiving, she
said.
Some Bay Area residents took that senti-
ment a step further, following a national cam-
paign called Buy Nothing Day, a stand
against the massive wave of consumerism
spurred by Black Friday discounts.
A website dedicated to the movement
describes Black Friday as your special day to
unshop, unspend and unwind. Relax and do
nothing for the economy and for yourself
at least for a single day.
Others used yesterdays momentum to
protest big box retailer Walmart, which union
organizers say violates workers rights.
One of those protests attracted hundreds of
people at a San Leandro Walmart at 15555
Hesperian Blvd. The demonstration drew
members of national and local workers rights
groups, including Jobs with Justice, the San
Francisco Progressive Workers Alliance and
the Chinese Progressive Association.
San Francisco County Supervisor Eric Mar
also joined the protest to show his support for
workers rights.
Its a huge institution and I strongly sup-
port organizing store by store, Mar said, call-
ing the demonstration one of the most spirit-
ed Black Friday rallies he has attended, com-
plete with a marching band, speeches and
songs.
Demonstrations were also scheduled at
Walmart stores in Richmond, Faireld and
San Jose.

BLACK
By Anne DInnocenzio
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
This season could mark the end of Black
Friday as we know it.
For decades, stores have opened their doors
in the wee hours on the day after Thanksgiving.
But this year, major chains such as Target and
Sears ushered in customers on Thanksgiving
itself, even before the turkey leftovers had got-
ten cold, turning the traditional busiest shop-
ping day of the year into a two-day affair.
Despite an outcry from some employees,
both stores and shoppers seemed to like it.
Some people went shopping with a full belly,
going straight from the dinner table to the
stores. Others slept off their big meal and went
to the mall before daybreak on Black Friday.
I ate my turkey dinner and came right here,
said Rasheed Ali, a college student in New
York City who bought a 50-inch TV for $349
and a sewing machine for $50 when Target
opened at 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving. Then Im
going home and eating more.
This new approach could become a holiday
shopping season tradition.
Its Black Thursday and Friday combined,
said Jackie Fernandez, a retail expert at the
consulting rm Deloitte. This is going to be a
new normal of how we shop.
It wont be clear for a few days how many
shoppers took advantage of the Thanksgiving
hours. But about 17 percent of people said ear-
lier this month that they planned to shop at
stores that opened on Thanksgiving, according
to an International Council of Shopping
Centers-Goldman Sachs survey of 1,000 con-
sumers.
Meanwhile, 33 percent intended to shop on
Black Friday, down 1 percentage point from
last year. Overall, it is estimated that sales on
Black Friday will be up 3.8 percent to $11.4
billion this year, according to technology com-
pany ShopperTrak, which did not forecast
sales from Thanksgiving Day.
The Black Friday creep began in earnest a
few years ago when stores realized that sales
alone werent enough to lure shoppers, espe-
cially with Americans becoming more com-
fortable buying things online. Opening on
Thanksgiving was risky, with some employees
and shoppers complaining it was almost sacri-
legious.
But many stores evidently felt they needed
an edge, especially this season, when many
Americans are worried about high unemploy-
ment and wondering whether Congress will be
able to head off tax increases and spending
cuts before the U.S. reaches the scal cliff in
January.
Overall, the National Retail Federation esti-
mates that sales in November and December
will rise 4.1 percent this year to $586.1 billion,
below last years 5.6 percent.
Every retailer wants to beat everyone else,
said C. Britt Beemer, chairman of Americas
Research Group, a rm based in Charleston,
S.C. Shoppers love it.
At WalMart, the worlds largest retailer,
most of its 4,000 U.S. namesake stores are
already open 24 hours year-round. But the
chain added special sales at 8 p.m. on
Thanksgiving, two hours earlier than a year
ago.
The company said that its start to the holiday
season was the best ever, with nearly 10 mil-
lion transactions and 5,000 items sold per sec-
ond from 8 p.m. to midnight on Thanksgiving.
Toys R Us opened at 8 p.m. on
Thanksgiving, an hour earlier than last year.
Macys, which opened at midnight on
Thanksgiving, had 12,000 customers wrapped
around its store in New Yorks Herald Square.
The earlier start also meant the violence
associated with shoppers ghting for bargains
likewise began earlier. On Thanksgiving night,
a couple was struck by an SUV while walking
into a Wal-Mart in Washington state, and in
Texas, a ght broke out when a man tried to cut
the queue at a Sears store in San Antonio. Two
people also were shot and wounded in
Tallahassee, Fla., in a disagreement that police
believe was over a parking spot outside a Wal-
Mart.
Julie Hansen, a spokeswoman at
Minneapolis Mall of America, the nations
largest shopping center, reported that 30,000
shoppers showed up for the malls midnight
opening, up from 20,000 last year. This was
additional dollars, Hansen said. This year, 200
of the 520 mall tenants opened at midnight fol-
lowing Thanksgiving. Thats double from a
year ago.
To be sure, its not clear whether the longer
hours will turn into extra dollars for retailers, or
whether sales will simply be spread out over
two days.
The Thanksgiving openings appeared to cre-
ate two waves of shoppers the late-nights
and the early birds.
Sam Chandler and his wife, Lori, were
among the night owls. They started shopping at
midnight on Thanksgiving. By the time they
reached the Wal-Mart in Greenville, S.C., early
Friday, they had already hit several stores,
including Target and Best Buy.
Black Friday creeps into Thanksgiving permanently?
Its Black Thursday and Friday
combined. ...This is going to be a new normal of how we shop.

I
will never wear bell bottoms. Nothing
short of a death threat could compel me
to put my legs
through pants with three-
foot-wide openings at the
bottom. Of course, thats
just my personal opinion
as a teenager living in
2012. Things were differ-
ent in say, the 1960s.
When my parents were
my age, I think they
would have felt the exact same way about
skinny jeans.
While the whole bell bottoms versus skin-
ny jeans is a shallow example, it does raise
the question: When we show our children
pictures from our high school years, what
things will they smirk at while rolling their
eyes and what more meaningful things will I
want them to understand about my genera-
tion?
I can easily see my kids asking their father
what sagging was. Its a phenomenon that
even I, a member of generation Z, cannot
explain. Whats with boys and their need to
show their underpants? Having your jeans
hitting mid-butt cant be more comfortable,
so thats ruled out. No girls I know nd it
attractive, so what gives? It may be that sag-
ging has no rhyme or reason. Then why did
it become popular? my exasperated
teenagers will ask.
To tell you the truth, I dont know. Fads
come and go so quickly that, by stopping to
update your Facebook status, you might miss
them. For a few years, all you saw was plaid.
Our world became one gigantic tablecloth of
the pattern. It was on our shirts, our shorts,
our shoes and our skirts. Now its dying
down. Silly Bands colored rubber bands
in the shapes of various animals and objects
were so popular that they were banned
from schools. Even still, they only lasted
from one summer to the next proof of the
goldsh-sized attention span parents and
teachers always accuse my generation of hav-
ing.
Yet, we must have some sort of staying
power. Our actions do have consequences,

Brilliant is the only word for The White
Snake, written and directed by the gifted
Mary Zimmerman.
After proving to be a hit at the Oregon
Shakespeare Festival in Ashland earlier this
year, The White Snake has come to
Berkeley Repertory Theatre, its co-producer,
with nearly all of the Ashland cast intact plus
all of the designers and musicians.
Based on a classic Chinese fable that has
undergone many permutations through the
centuries, this theatrically inventive work has
become a love story in Zimmermans hands.
White Snake (Amy Kim Waschke) assumes
the form of a beautiful woman so that she can
thank the man, Xu Xian (Christopher
Livingston), who saved her life when she was
very young. Shes accompanied by her out-
spoken, impetuous friend, Green Snake
(Tanya Thai McBride). White Snake and Xu
Xian fall in love and marry, despite some of
his doubts.
Hes a pharmacists assistant, but she sets
him up in his own shop. It becomes quite suc-
cessful because of White Snakes skill in
devising effective remedies and healing peo-
ple.
Theyre happy until the villainous Fa Hai
(Jack Willis), a Buddhist monk, arrives and
tells Xu Xian that hes married to a snake.
Its just not natural, Fa Hai says, as the 100-
minute, intermissionless tale nears its mythi-
cal end.
Zimmermans staging employs some seem-
ingly simple techniques, such as a billowing
blue cloth to simulate a river, that arent nec-
essarily original but that are nevertheless
effective. Descending strips of blue cloth
White Snake is brilliant

The army invading the United States in
Red Dawn, an ill-advised remake of the
campy 1984 original, was changed in post-
production from Chinese to North Korean.
With a few snips here, a few re-dubs there, the
lmmakers re-edited and re-shot, fearful of
offending China and its increasingly impor-
tant movie-going market.
But why stop there? Cant we blithely make
any nation our enemy for movie-sake? Lets
try a version with Iran! And dont we have rea-
son to be suspicious of Sweden? Do we
REALLY know whats in all those giant Ikea
stores??
The ridiculous Red Dawn is the supreme
example of Hollywoods Cold War nostalgia,
when the Russkies offered up an easy, de facto
villain. Todays terrorism paranoia, apparent-
ly, is too complex and too faceless for some.
No, we need a clear-cut enemy. Do you have
something in red?
The awkward updating of Red Dawn
came after Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which had
produced the lm back in 2009, went bank-
rupt. Not surprisingly, the market was weak
for a lm that reportedly cost $60 million to
make and suggested modern China was the
equivalent of Cold War-era Soviet Union. So
the switch was made and distributor
FilmDistrict picked it up.
Like the original, Red Dawn is about a
band of high-schoolers whose hometown
(now Spokane, Wash., instead of small town
Colorado) is suddenly taken over by parachut-
ing foreign troops. With most adults locked-up
and military response not coming, the kids
develop into a gang of insurgents, dubbing
themselves the Wolverines.
Back in 1984, the kids were played by brat
pack all-stars: Patrick Swayze, C. Thomas
Howell, Charlie Sheen, Jennifer Grey. Yes,
Tom Brokaw had it wrong: This was truly the
greatest generation. The lm (the rst PG-13
rated movie, incidentally) was grade-A 80s
kitsch, a movie that captured the imaginations
of kids growing up amid Cold War fears.
The new Red Dawn has no such context.
While there is plenty of anxiety to go around
these days, North Korea is more likely viewed
a punchline than a legitimate invasion threat.
(In the lm, Russia is suggested to be cahoots
with them, as well.) The implausibility is
dizzying, all around.
The cast is centered on two brothers: the
returning Iraq veteran Jed (Chris Hemsworth,
the Snow White and the Huntsman star) and
high school quarterback Matt Eckert (Josh
Peck). Theyre the leaders of the Wolverines,
whose ranks include Josh Hutcherson (The
Hunger Games), Adrianne Palicki (Friday
Night Lights), Connor Cruise and Edwin
Hodge.
From a mountain cabin and other woodsy
lairs, they launch guerilla warfare on the occu-
pying North Koreans. Director Dan Bradley, a
former stunt coordinator, can mount a decent
shoot-out scene, but doesnt stage the action
well, leaving scenes looking set in the same
few downtown blocks. Still, theres no telling
how Bradley had to alter his footage. (No one
had it harder than actor Will Yun Lee, who, as
the occupying commander, had to redo his
lines in Korean.)
In recent years, home invasion movies have
been made frequently, only with aliens. The
appeal, as one of the characters in Red
Dawn says, is that defending ones homeland
makes more sense in a time lled with indi-
rect military aims.
But such fantasies here played out by
delusional teenage football players are all
the more dubious given that the U.S. was
engaged in two (real) wars at the time of lm-
ing. In Red Dawn, Afghanistan and Iraq go
hardly mentioned, replaced by a game of toy
soldiers with make-believe foes.
Red Dawn, a FilmDistrict release, is rated
PG-13 for sequences of intense war violence
and action, and for language. Running time:
93 minutes. One star out of four.

Hitchcocks very dark side gets supercial treatment as the lm offers the cinematic equivalent of psychobabble
to explore the directors notorious gluttony, sexual repression and idolization of his leading ladies.
By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The man who made Psycho was
no lightweight, though he kind of
comes off that way in Hitchcock.
Starring Anthony Hopkins as
Alfred Hitchcock and Helen Mirren
as his wife and collaborator, Alma,
Hitchcock puts a featherlight yet
entertaining touch on the behind-
the-scenes struggle to make the
mother of all slasher lms.
Hitchcocks very dark side gets
superficial treatment as the film
offers the cinematic equivalent of
psychobabble to explore the direc-
tors notorious gluttony, sexual
repression and idolization of his
leading ladies.
Though shallow, Hitchcock has
a playful quality that often makes it
good fun, its spirit of whimsy a
wink that the filmmakers know
theyre rifng on Hitchcocks merri-
ly macabre persona and not examin-
ing the man with any great depth or
insight.
Hitchcock is a promising move
into dramatic lmmaking for direc-
tor Sacha Gervasi after his 2009
documentary Anvil: The Story of
Anvil, a chronicle of heavy-metal
wannabes who never quite made it.
With screenwriter John J.
McLaughlin adapting Stephen
Rebellos book Alfred Hitchcock
and the Making of Psycho, Gervasi
spins a nimble tale of a genteel yet
volatile genius turning water into
wine as Hitchcock transforms a
tawdry story inspired by murderer
Ed Gein into high art and one of
the scariest movies ever.
Fresh off a big success with
1959s North by Northwest,
Hopkins Hitchcock lapses into the
sort of funk that repeated itself
throughout his career as he oun-
dered about in search of his next
lm. He dees the expectations of
Paramount executives and his own
colleagues, Alma included, when he
settles on Robert Blochs novel
Psycho, the Gein-inuenced story
of Norman Bates, a soft-spoken
mamas boy whose creepy double
life leads to multiple murders.
Alma thinks its a cheap story
thats beneath her husband.
Hitchcock thinks the spare tale
its savage violence told with subtle
suggestiveness to mollify
Hollywoods puritanical censors
can leave fans screaming in their
seats.
Hitchcock strains to play up
marital strife between the two as
Alma feels tempted by a writing
colleague (Danny Huston), while
Alfreds frustrated fancies continue
over his long string of Hitchcock
blondes in this case, Psycho
co-stars Janet Leigh (Scarlett
Johansson) and Vera Miles (Jessica
Biel) the latter standing with
Grace Kelly among his greatest x-
ations.
The lm also strays into Freudian
fantasies as the specter of Gein him-
self (Michael Wincott) pops up to
help Hitchcock work through his
issues. These moments are clunky
devices that offer no understanding
of Hitchcock and his demons; at
best, theyre good for a chuckle here
and there.
Hitchcock is lightweight but fun
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK For his rst pro-
fessional acting job, a 22-year-old
Anthony Hopkins took a train from
South Wales to Manchester. With
time to kill on a rainy day, he
dropped off his bags and headed to
the movies, where a long queue
wound outside the cinema.
It was packed, Hopkins recalls.
I sat down and I didnt know what
the hell I was in for. I had heard sto-
ries about it. When it got to the
shower scene, I dont think Ive ever
been so scared in my life.
The movie was, of course, Alfred
Hitchcocks Psycho, a lm that
52 years after its shocking premiere
still hasnt released audiences from
its subversive thrall. The film,
which Hitchcock called a fun pic-
ture, was revolutionary in its vio-
lence, its sexiness, its sympathy to
the perspective of the criminal mind
and, perhaps above all, its tech-
nique.
What if someone really good
made a horror picture? wonders
the British director, played by
Hopkins, in the new film
Hitchcock.
Directed by Sacha Gervasi, it
depicts the making of Psycho
with a keen focus on Hitchcocks
relationship and profession
indebtedness to his wife Alma
Reville (played by Helen Mirren).
It is only the latest example of the
undying fascination with Psycho,
a lm that ushered in a new dark-
ness in American movies, one with
a playful sense of irony toward vio-
lence but also a serious treatment of
that which had previously been con-
sidered mere schlock. Though
Hitchcock made a dozen lms that
could easily be labeled master-
pieces, none seized audiences with
the same power as Psycho.
Made for just $800,000 at the end
of Hitchcocks contract with
Paramount (which distributed the
lm but left Hitchcock to nance it
himself), Psycho, based on
Robert Blochs novel, went on to
gross $32 million the biggest hit
of his career. The director famously
handed out manuals to theaters with
explicit directions not to let anyone
in after the movie began. Though
most critics dismissed the lm then,
some finally began to consider
Hitchcock an artist of the highest
order most notably Robin Wood,
who called Psycho perhaps the
most terrifying lm ever made.
We are (taken) forward and
downward into the darkness of our-
selves, wrote Wood. Psycho
begins with the normal and draws
us steadily deeper and deeper into
the abnormal.
That Psycho killed off its star
Janet Leigh after just half an
hour was only one of its many
unheard of elements. Scenes of
Leigh in her underwear were
unusual for their time, too, and
prompted lengthy negotiations
between Hitchcock and the sensors.
Even a ushing toilet considered
a vulgar sight had never been
seen in such a big movie.
Of course, the infamous shower
scene in which Leighs Marion
Crane meets her demise immedi-
ately recognizable from the
screaming violins of Bernard
Herrmanns score is the lms
piece de resistance. The ruthless
slicing wasnt of esh, but of lm:
70 shots in 45 seconds, a perfect
marriage of montage and murder. A
prop man sounded the scene by
kning casaba melons.
In his book The Moment of
Psycho: How Alfred Hitchcock
Taught America to Love Murder,
the critic David Thomson argues
that the inuence of Psycho is
everywhere in movies, including
Bonnie and Clyde, Jaws, Taxi
Driver, many of the films of
Stanley Kubrick and even the James
Bond movies. Psycho, Thomson
writes, let the subversive secret
out, after which censorship crum-
pled like an old ladys parasol.

Besides her writing and direction, the play
attains its magical qualities through imagina-
tive design elements, especially Mara
Blumenfelds colorful costumes. Daniel
Ostlings uncluttered set design is augmented
by Shawn Sagadys projections and comple-

designer Andre Pluess also wrote the music,
which is played by three costumed musicians

both positive and negative. Take my genera-
tions fascination with bottled water, a
hugely unnecessary commodity, that only
contributes to our landfills. Statistics have
shown that in many cases, the water isnt
any better than regular tap water. Of course,
some bottles are quite fancy, and that built-
in class may be appealing, but truthfully,
its just water. We all should save a few
bucks, buy ourselves something nice (and
by something nice, I mean a reusable water
bottle), and carry on knowing were con-
tributing significantly less to the landfills
our future children will inherit.
We also hope that theyll inherit a world
that we worked hard to improve. When we
look back at the debates of older genera-
tions over such things as segregation, it
seems insane to us that there was ever even
a debate involved. The struggle for mar-
riage equality is the civil rights battle of
this generation, a battle that many of us
wish didnt need to be fought. We will
march, sign petitions and wave flags as we
attempt to shape a more equal society.
So while I wont be surprised when my
kids laugh at the picture of me in my skin-
ny jeans and plaid shirt, Silly Bands cover-
ing my arms, Ill also make sure they see
the picture of me with my reusable water
bottle and rainbow flag. Ill take pride in
telling them how I proudly supported mar-
riage equality for everyone.
Those pictures are what well hold on to
in our later years. They represent the fads,
the fun and the fervor that surrounded our
teenage lives. Whether our future children
ever understand, it is all a part of the lega-
cy that we, Generation Z, will leave
behind.

of an excellent voice cast. The world premiere
took place Oct. 10 at the Mill Valley Film
Festival in advance of the Nov. 21 commercial
bow.
Based on the book series Guardians of
Childhood by William Joyce, as well as on
the authors short lm The Man in the
Moon, the script by David Lindsay-Abaire
(Robots, Rabbit Hole) plays fast and loose
with these legendary xtures of childhood,
attaching to them all sorts of neuroses, feel-
ings of inadequacy and the sense, or threat, of
being ignored. Some might nd this tack
delightfully mischievous, but its just as easy
to reject as ridiculous the notion that Jack
Frost a free spirit very much like Peter Pan
who can y around anywhere he wants suf-
fers from an emotional trauma he suffered
hundreds of years earlier.
Perhaps the most readily amusing of the
gang is Santa, or, as he is more geographical-
ly named here, North. A muscular power-
house rather than a fatso, North has heavily
tatted forearms and, as wonderfully voiced by
Alec Baldwin, sports a distinctive Russian
accent not inappropriate to the proximity of
that country to his palatial mountainside
workshop. Also gathering here are the rangy
and rascally E. Aster Bunnymund (an excel-
lent Hugh Jackman), the hummingbird-like
Tooth (or Tooth Fairy, delightfully rendered
by Isla Fisher), the mute and tubby spinner of
gold Sandman and, ultimately, Jack (a ne
Chris Pine), who has wandered the globe
alone for centuries and feels woefully unrec-
ognized compared to the others because he
has no special day or occasion to make an
imprint on the lives of children.
All the same, Jack is hard-pressed by
North to join in the battle against Pitch (as in
pitch black), a diabolical figure (plausibly
acted by Jude Law) who, after a long
absence, has returned to throw Earth into
darkness and provide much-needed night-
mares to kids everywhere. As with Jack,
Pitchs re-emergence feels arbitrary and
generic, while the tall, sneering and stubby-
toothed figure bears far too close a resem-
blance to Harry Potters Voldemort, as do his
minions, black steeds that disintegrate into
fragments and flash through the sky almost
identically to Death Eaters. So while Jack
tries to sort out his issues of neglect (kids in
small-town America dont even notice him)
and struggles over whether or not to join the
others, the battle against the lord of the night
commences.
Director Peter Ramsey, a longtime story-
board artist making his feature directorial
debut after beginning with the 2009 telelm
Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins From
Outer Space, never misses a chance to throw
in one more roller-coaster-like visual ride to
pump up the 3(equals)D experience. But the
characters and settings are attractively
designed, and the vocal performances have
real color and a sense of fun that gently under-
cuts the treacle sincerity of certain obligatory
kid-pandering moments.
Composer Alexandre Desplat really gets a
workout here, dexterously blanketing the lm
with ever-changing tempos and motifs to suit
the moment and propel the action. At least 10
percent of the 97-minute running time is
devoted to the end credits.
The Rise of the Guardians, a
Paramount/Dreamworks release, is rated PG
for thematic elements and some mildly scary
action. 97 minutes.

Weekend Nov. 24-25, 2012 THEDAILYJOURNAL
By Samantha Critchell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANCHESTER, Vt. Abe Lincoln
was born in a log cabin but his son built
himself a mansion. Robert Todd
Lincoln, the presidents only child to
survive to adulthood, built the Georgian
Revival home, called Hildene, as a sea-
sonal dream home for his wife Mary
Harlan Lincoln and their children.
But Hildene is no dusty museum.
Located on 412 acres between two
spectacular mountain ranges, the home-
stead offers a feeling of warmth, family
and hospitality along with the history
lessons.
The site is expecting a boost in inter-
est thanks to the new Steven Spielberg
movie Lincoln, which stars Daniel
Day-Lewis as the former president and
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as his son. The
Hildene staff is looking forward to wel-
coming more visitors and teaching
them about the place where Lincoln
descendants lived until 1975, said Paula
Maynard, press director and group tour
leader.
Ive been telling people for eight
years, which is when I first got here,
that this movie was coming, and wed
get to tell this part of the story,
Maynard says. I think people stopped
believing me. ... But we expect visita-
tion to grow from it, and its been grow-
ing anyway between 8 and 10 percent
annually.
One frequently asked question is
what Hildene means. Maynard says the
word combines phrases that mean hill
and valley with a stream, and that
Robert Todd Lincoln apparently had the
name in mind from the start of con-
struction in 1903.
Visitors also are curious about the
relationship between Robert Todd
Lincoln and his mother, Mary Todd
Lincoln, whom he had committed to a
hospital for mental illness. Decades
later, in a bedroom that served as his
quarters in later years when he suffered
from arthritis, papers were found in a
closet safe with medical documentation
that validated his decision to hospital-
ize her. Before she died, the two were
reconciled.
Before building Hildene, Robert
Todd Lincoln had served in Washington
as secretary of war for President James
Garfield and overseas as the United
States ambassador to Great Britain for
President Benjamin Harrison.
But Robert Todd Lincoln apparently
had wanted to live in Vermont for many
years. His law partner Edward Isham
was born in Bennington and bought a
home in Manchester 15 years before
Hildene was completed. After Lincoln
became chairman of Pullman Company
in 1897, at the time one of the countrys
biggest companies, he could afford to
build the house of his dreams.
Maynard says, however, that the
Lincolns were not lavish and always
wanted simple elegance. The Lincolns
main social life was in Chicago. They
lived there half the year and here half
the year. When they came to Vermont, it
was for the same reasons we do for a
getaway.
Music from the homes 1,000-pipe
organ draws visitors in at the first step
into the entry foyer. The parlor, which
looks out onto a beautiful east-facing
patio and garden with vistas of the
Taconic and Green Mountains, could
easily be the gathering spot for a mod-
ern martini party, book club meeting or
holiday meal. Like much of the 8,000-
square-foot home (almost 750 square
meters), the rooms traditional yet taste-
ful decor seems grand but not showy
very New England.

Nintendo seeks to
shake up gaming
again with Wii U
By Derrik J. Lang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES It can scan zombies, replace a TV remote,
open a window into virtual worlds and shoot ninja stars across a
living room. Its the Wii U GamePad, the 10-by-5-inch touch-
screen controller for the successor to the Wii out Sunday, and if
you ask the brains behind the Super Mario Bros. about it, they
say its going to change the way video games are made and
played.
You cant manufacture buzz, said Nintendo of America pres-
ident Reggie Fils-Aime. You cant manufacture word of mouth.
All we can do is to provide the product and the games to foster
some sparks that hopefully enable that to happen. We think we
have that with Wii U.
Much like the iPad, the curvaceous GamePad features a touch-
screen that can be manipulated with the simple tap or swipe of a
nger, but its surrounded by the kinds of buttons, bumpers,
thumbsticks and triggers that are traditionally found on a mod-
ern-day game controller. Theres also a camera, stylus, micro-
phone, headphone jack and speakers.
While the Wii U can employ its predecessors motion-control
remotes with a sensor bar that similarly detects them in front of
the TV, the consoles focus on two-screen experiences makes it
feel more like a high-denition, living-room rendition of the
Nintendo DS and 3DS, the Japanese gaming giants dual-screen
hand-held devices, than the original Wii.
Its a second screen like a tablet or a cellphone, but its dif-
ferent, said Mark Bolas, professor of interactive media at the
University of Southern California. In addition to providing
more information, the GamePad is also a second viewpoint into
a virtual world. Nintendo is letting you turn away from the TV
screen to see whats happening with the GamePad.
The touchscreen controller can also serve as a makeshift TV
remote control and online video aggregator for services like
Netix and Amazon Instant Video. (Nintendo cheekily calls it
TVii and announced Friday that it wont be available until
December.) Some games have the ability to ip-op between the
TV screen and the GamePad screen, allowing for non-gaming
use of the TV.
There are limitations to the GamePad: it wont work after its
been moved 25 feet away from the Wii U console; it lasts about
three to ve hours after charging; and while its touchscreen is
intuitive as those that have come before it, the GamePad is not
quite as simple to use as the Wii controllers that had everyone
bowling in their living rooms.
Is the GamePad more complex than the Wii Remote was six
years ago? Certainly, said Fils-Aime. On the other hand, I
believe consumers will easily grasp the GamePad and what were
trying to do with the varied experiences well have not only at
launch but over the next number of years in this systems life.
The abilities of the GamePad are most notably showcased by
Nintendo Co. in the amusement park-themed mini-game collec-
tion Nintendo Land, which comes with the deluxe edition of
the console. Nintendo Land turns the GamePad into several
different tools, such as the dashboard of a spaceship or the ulti-
mate advantage in a game of hide-and-seek.
In other titles, the controller mostly eliminates the need to
pause the action to study a map in order to gure out where to go
next or scour an inventory for just the right weapon. That can all
be achieved simultaneously on the GamePad screen, which is
best illustrated among the launch titles in Ubisofts survival
action game ZombiU.
The GamePad acts as a high-tech scanner in ZombiU that
can analyze a players surroundings in a version of London over-
run by zombies. It pumps up the terror by drawing players atten-
tion away from the horrors lurking around them.
Will gamers whove grown up with their eyes glued to the TV
and hands gripped on a controller adapt to glimpsing at another
screen? The Wii U edition of Call of Duty: Black Ops II, for
example, invites players to customize their arsenal on the y on
the GamePad, as well as engage in multiplayer matches without
needing to split the TV in half.
Nintendo expects 50 games will be available for the Wii U by
March 2013. There will be 23 games released alongside the con-
sole when it debuts Sunday, including the platformer New
Super Mario Bros. U, karaoke game Sing Party, an armored
edition of Batman: Arkham City and the Mickey Mouse
adventure Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two.
New consoles come along and nobody exploits their full
capabilities for the rst two to three years, said Warren Spector,
creative director at Epic Mickey 2 developer Junction Point
Studios. Its only after youve had two or three projects that you
fully understand what the hardware is capable of doing. Were
going to be experimenting with it more.

toric standards.
The Redwood City Council adopted
the historic preservation program in
1990 and since have granted roughly 15
contracts out of the approximately 100
known eligible properties. Eligibility is
currently limited to designated land-
marks and structures that contribute to
historic districts. Key considerations for
approval include the level of deteriora-
tion caused by age, the high cost of
replicating missed or damaged architec-
ture detail and the strict use of historic
rehabilitation standards.
In granting a contract, the city losses
little nancially because it collects less
than 20 percent of the 1 percent in
assessed property value. For example,
on a property valued at $1 million, the
city loses between $800 to $1,200 annu-
ally.
The net value of the property is $6.15
million, according to the county asses-
sors ofce.
The theater was built in 1928 and
opened the following year as the New
Sequoia Theatre by the owner of a
Peninsula movie house chain. After two
decades, the theater was extensively
remodeled in the 1950s and in 1993
placed on the National Register of
Historic Places. In 1998, the owners
began restoring the theater and it re-
opened in June 2002 as a cornerstone of
Redwood Citys long-anticipated down-
town renovation. But in 2009, the theater
was at the brink of closure because the
then-owners owed millions on outstand-
ing loans and ultimately foreclosed.
After several postponed public sales, the
bank bought the theater that December
for $70,000. The Lochtefelds purchased
it the following summer and since have
partnered with Broadway by the Bay,
The Youth Theatre Conservatory and
launched a renovation including replace-
ment of 153 mezzanine balcony seats,
adding re sprinklers and architectural
lighting.
Future plans, according to an improve-
ment schedule included in the historic
preservation contract, include new car-
pet and ooring, improving the steel dis-
play cases, building painting, updating
the marquees electrical power and
replacing 500 upper balcony seats.
The Redwood City Planning
Commission meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov.
27 at City Hall, 1017 Middleeld Road,

By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
From mental illness and adultery to
football obsession and competitive dance,
Silver Linings Playbook follows a wily
and winding path that consistently dees
expectations.
David O. Russell has pulled off a tricky
feat here, nding just the right tone in
crafting a romantic comedy whose sweet-
hearts suffer from bipolar disorder and
depression. On paper alone, it sounds
cringe-inducing. But he never conde-
scends to his characters; Silver Linings
Playbook isnt mawkish, nor is it wacky
and crass in the opposite extreme.
Serving as both writer and director in
adapting Matthew Quicks novel, Russell
has developed affectionately eshed-out
characters in a deeply steeped sense of
place: working-class Philadelphia. They
feature personality quirks that vaguely
recall his 2004 comedy I (Heart)
Huckabees, but rather than seeming
weird for weirds sake, these are more
complicated gures, which ultimately
makes their journeys more meaningful.
And while were making comparisons, the
Russell lm this resembles most is proba-
bly his recent Oscar-winner The Fighter
in terms of its realism, but with an off-kil-
ter optimism thats ultimately winning.
Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence
both give inspired performances that
allow them to play against type as the
unlikely couple at the center of this
romance. Cooper sheds his charisma and
slick good looks to
star as Pat Solatano, a
teacher whos just
been released from a
mental institution at
the lms start. He
suffered a breakdown
when he caught his
wife in the shower
with one of her co-
workers. Now, having
lost his marriage,
home and career, he hopes to start over
and that starts by moving back in with his
parents.
Robert De Niro does some of the best
work in recent years as Pat Sr., a hardcore
Philadelphia Eagles fan whose game-time
superstitions have long since developed
into full-blown obsessive-compulsive dis-
order; the petite Jacki Weaver, who was so
formidable in Animal Kingdom, is love-
ly as Pats loyal, long-suffering mother but
she might not get enough to do. (Theres
also not quite enough of Chris Tucker as a
fellow psychiatric patient; he nds laughs
here but in a much more low-key way,
which is a pleasant surprise.)
Pat tries to take all the right steps to fur-
ther his recovery attending therapy ses-
sions with the no-nonsense Dr. Patel (a
very funny Anupam Kher), running every
day but he just cant accept that his
wife wants nothing to do with him. A lit-
tle thing like a restraining order doesnt
matter. He still refers to their marriage if it
were something that exists in the present
day.
Then one night, at a
small dinner party
thrown by old friends
whose own marriage
isnt in the best shape
(John Ortiz and Julia
Stiles), Pat meets
Tiffany (Lawrence).
Recently widowed
after the death of her
police-ofcer hus-
band and having been
red from her job,
Tiffany is equally at sea. And like Pat, she
has no internal censor, so this rst meeting
is full of quick, sharp banter and spectac-
ularly inappropriate observations.
Following intensely serious roles in
Winters Bone and The Hunger
Games, it is such a joy to see yet another
facet to Lawrences talent. Shes already
demonstrated a maturity beyond her
years, but Silver Linings Playbook
allows her to let loose and have a little fun
while still maintaining a dramatic integri-
ty.
On the ip side, Cooper gets a rare
chance to show his dramatic side. The
early scenes in last years Limitless (in
which De Niro also played a father gure
to him) were always the most interesting
when hes shaggy and paunchy and
depressed, before he takes the pill that
makes him Bradley Cooper. Theres a
mania to his performance here as his char-
acter strives to convince himself of his
capacity for happiness, but also a raw dark
side.
Cooper, Lawrence shine in Silver Linings

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2012
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Achieving material
gratifcation will be important to you. However, after
the dust settles, you may discover your success was
due to the efforts of others and not your own.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you must
complete an important project that requires the help
of others, turn to those youve assisted in the past
before going to anybody else.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- When it comes to
your work or career, you shouldnt be afraid of a little
competition. When conditions get tough or even criti-
cal, youre the one wholl rise to the challenge.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Fortunately, youre
a quick study, because what youve learned from
books or personal experience has been retained and
will be used to your advantage.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- In situations where you
feel a bit shaky, a bit of bravado may be required in
order to realize your aims. It might be one of those
times when boldness will do you some good.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you discover that
you have a problem you cant work out on your own,
dont hesitate to go to a friend who can offer you
some wise counsel. Your pal will be happy to help.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Funds can be generated
from more than one source, so if you feel like youve
tapped out many of your old ones, its time to look
elsewhere for new opportunities.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A partnership arrange-
ment in which you are presently involved can be
further strengthened as time ticks on. Look for many
new benefts to come from it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A situation in which you
have not been fairly compensated or acknowledged
might rectify itself soon. In fact, youll probably get
some indications of this today.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Dont give up too much
authority in an endeavor in which you are presently
involved, because, in order to be successful, it will be
important for you to continue to mastermind most of it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Chances are youll get
a needed opportunity that will enable you to turn a
negative situation into a rewarding one for both you
and a loyal supporter.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Just being busy wont
cut it -- you need something far more challenging
to gratify your industrious spirit. Try to do something
useful as well as productive.
