Lessons of tolerance from history
Elizabeth Eckford
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Fifteen-year-old Elizabeth
Eckford desperately sought out
what she thought was a kind face in
the mob on what was supposed to
be her first day of class at Central
High School in Little Rock, Ark. on
Sept. 4, 1957.
Instead, the woman spat on
Eckford.
Eckford is one of the Little Rock
Nine — the first black students to
attend a white school in Little Rock,
Ark. after the 1954 Brown v. the
Board of Education decision that
declared separate facilities unequal.
The now 69-year-old described the
challenges she faced for South San
Francisco High School students last
Wednesday. Among her speech was
a lesson of kindness and under-
standing of the meaning of words.
“I call it desegregation because it
was never intended that we would
be considered equals,” she said.
This year marks the 53rd anniver-
sary of the historic battle. Eckford
was one of just more than 100 stu-
dents who originally signed up to
attend Central. She chose to sign up
for the educational opportunity.
Students were approved to attend
if they met the superintendent’s cri-
teria: Students needed to have good
grades and not be troublemakers.
The number of students dwindled
due to local efforts against desegre-
gation like publishing names and
addresses in the local newspaper or
baring black students from partici-
pating in things like sports, band or
clubs should they attend Central.
Eckford recounted the first day
she attempted to enter the school.
“I thought [the National Guard]
was there for my protection,”
Eckford said in a four-minute video

Shoppers ask: What recession?

Black Friday builds on retailers’ momentum after a solid start to November

For one day at least, you could

online bargains on what could be the

Caltrain kills person in Burlingame
STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
A male pedestrian was struck by a train in
Burlingame Friday morning, causing the 10th
death this year on the Caltrain right of way.
The San Mateo County Coroner’s office says
the man has been identified, but his name will not
be released until officials can contact his rela-
tives.
The man apparently trespassed onto the
tracks at the Morrell Avenue pedestrian cross-
ing, which has gates, lights and bells to notify
pedestrians of approaching trains.
The northbound train No. 425 struck the
man at approximately 10:05 a.m.
The crossing is located between the
Burlingame and Broadway stations.
Authorities weren’t certain why the man was
on the tracks. The train, which had about 400
passengers on board, was stopped at the scene
for more than an hour, according to Caltrain
spokeswoman Christine Dunn.
Trains in both directions ran at reduced
speed on the southbound track while authori-
ties conducted an investigation into the death
on the northbound track. Both tracks reopened
and regular service resumed around 11:30
a.m., Dunn said.

Man accused of ice pick stabbing delays plea
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Pacifica man accused of stabbing his
girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend in the head with
an ice pick after encountering him at the
beach delayed a plea to attempted murder.
Arthur John Armstrong, 37, also held off
on charges of assault and the special allega-
tions of using a knife and causing great
bodily injury in the Nov. 15 attack. He
remains in custody on no-bail status and
next returns to court with his appointed
attorney Dec. 20 to enter a plea and possi-
bly set a preliminary hearing date.
Although Armstrong has not entered plea
in court, he reportedly told authorities after
his arrest he did nothing beyond physically
assaulting the 39-year-
old victim.
Armstrong and the vic-
tim met up the evening of
Nov. 15 after they sepa-
rately headed to the same
beach area near the pier
to drink with their
respective girlfriends.
Arthur Armstrong’s ex-girl-
friend is now dating the

victim.

exchanged insults before Armstrong threw a

THE DAILY JOURNAL
Armstrong approached and began punching
him while the ex-girlfriend assaulted the

After Armstrong and his girlfriend left,
the victim realized he was bleeding and
called for help just before 10 p.m. He gave
a statement to police before passing out and
medics discovered he had a slash to his
knee and blood from his ear. An ice pick
was discovered in nearby bushes.
The victim is currently in a drug-induced
coma. The ice pick went through his ear
canal and touched his brain which caused
severe swelling. The attempted murder and
assault charges could carry up to 13 years in

During boring school lectures,
texting is the new doodling
By Michael Rubinkam
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — Students
used to fight classroom boredom by
doodling, daydreaming and passing
notes. Now they whip out their
phones and send text messages.
Two psychology professors at
Wilkes University in Pennsylvania
have completed a study of in-class
texting. They found that nine in 10
students there admit to sending text
messages during class.
Wilkes senior Tom Markley says
he’s constantly trading texts with his
friends and girlfriend during class.
He says “texting is a nice alternative
to having to sit there and focus” dur-
ing a boring class.
The phenomenon is part of a
broader revolution in the way young
adults communicate. Wilkes profes-

Educational paradox
— Stockton Record $23,000 more than that. students who pay higher tuition. University, a year costs around
Most of the nine UC campuses But support drops to 26 percent if $50,000. That’s the sticker price, at
Daily Journal e-mail:
have been sending admissions offi- doing so means fewer California least.

T
housands of California stu-
dents are finding it harder
to attend college here,
because 1) fees are going up and 2)
there are fewer slots available.
Tuition at California’s public
universities went up 32 percent last
year — and is still rising, The
Sacramento Bee reported last
week. California State University
raised tuition more than 15 percent
earlier this month, and the
University of California regents
voted last week on an 8 percent
increase.
But that hasn’t stopped UC from
actively recruiting out-of-state and
international students.
Why?
Money. California students are
expected to pay $11,124 in fees
next year.
Non-California UC students pay
cials to high schools, college
admission fairs and other events
outside California looking for stu-
dents. UCLA officials, according to
the Los Angeles Times, have visit-
ed Chicago, Boston, Atlanta and
Honolulu as well as China, Japan,
Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore.
All this may be understandable,
but that doesn’t make it any less
heartbreaking. This state’s public
teaching colleges and research uni-
versities, built up in the 1950s and
’60s on the promise of a slot for
every qualified California student,
are in no small part responsible for
this state’s economic growth and
the quality of life enjoyed by many
of its residents.
A poll released Nov. 17 by the
Public Policy Institute of California
found that 57 percent of adults sup-
port admitting more out-of-state
students would be admitted.
Without question, a diverse stu-
dent body adds to the quality of a
college education. That includes
attracting bright students and facul-
ty members from outside the state.
But our public higher education
system should first and foremost be
for California residents. It is, after
all, California taxpayers who pay
for the system. The PPIC poll also
found that Californians are split —
49 percent to 49 percent — on the
question of raising taxes to support
the current level of public college
and university funding.
There is an interesting backstory
to the higher student fee trend.
Many Californians choose to
attend the UC and CSU systems
because of the perceived value.
With room and board, a year at UC
costs about $28,000. At Stanford
In reality, students attending pri-
vate schools often end up paying
less than half the advertised price,
thanks to generous scholarship pro-
grams.
Private universities are doing in
California what UC officials and
others are doing in other states:
recruiting.
At University of the Pacific, for
example, where tuition, room and
board run roughly $45,000 a year,
about 80 percent of undergraduates
receive some type of financial aid.
Total gift assistance to a first-year
student is about $15,000. Work-
study and federal loans add about
$3,500 more.
That gets the tab down to the
range of a year at UC, where schol-
arships are based more often on
academics than on need.

State Budget: No valid reasons to wait

California taxpayers don’t pay even
lame duck politicians to sit around
after elections if a crisis is before
them. They expect action.
So we suggest, as does
Governor-elect Jerry Brown, that

before he takes office in January to
address aggressively what has stub-

past several years.

into Brown’s no-nonsense view of
things that is not far from the sit-
ting governor’s. The Legislature’s
majority may have a more sympa-
thetic ear once Brown takes office,
but it will be no more generous
than Schwarzenegger’s. The reason
is simple: Brown has nothing with
which to be generous.
California’s $25.4 billion budget
deficit (and that’s just today’s esti-
mates) will not go away when
Brown takes office. And it might
even get worse if the Legislature

ing with lawmakers and state
finance officials. “A special session
is a great opportunity to do things.”
We agree.
Given recent voter backing of
measures that would reduce the
margin of approval of any state
budget to a simple majority, the
kinds of embarrassing and frustrat-
ing delays that have paralyzed the
state could be a thing of the past.
But don’t count on it.
Voters bought into the argument
that such paralysis would disappear
if the two-thirds threshold were
lowered. We agreed that it should

While doubts and disagreements
may continue to be voiced about
the tough choices ahead, there is
little reason to believe that regard-
less of which party occupies the
governor’s office, any state law-
maker will have much to celebrate
next year.
So, waiting until January is
merely delaying the inevitable. We
see no reason to wait, and for

Stuck on repeat
It’s interesting and humorous
how Keith Kreitman keeps re-
writing the same, basic column
every week: “democrats-good,
republicans-bad.” Kreitman
apparently agrees with President
Obama in that the Democratic
Party’s “shellacking” on Nov. 2
wasn’t due to Obama’s agenda,
but simply to an “angry, mindless
electorate” not being well-
informed.
It must be so frustrating to you,
Keith. Nearly unprecedented
Republican gains in the House,
Senate, governorships and state
legislatures — and it all had
nothing to do with Obama’s poli-
cies, but everything to do with
the American electorate being
“mindless.” Independents aban-
don Obama and tea-partiers
besiege the president, while Keith
continues to dream on as he
gnashes his teeth at the vast
expanses of red on the American
political map.
But like the loyal liberal he is,
Kreitman does everything possi-
ble to prop up Obama, He’s still
crowing the elitist progressive
line that despite the mountain of
evidence to the contrary, “the
propaganda that Obama is a left
wing socialist, fostered by Fox
News is, of course, so absurd.”
Yeah, right. He even cites a “usu-
ally reliable” Newsweek poll
released on Oct. 22 finding
Obama’s approval rating at 54
percent. There are only two prob-
lems with that poll. Firstly,
Newsweek has been carrying
Obama’s water since the 2008
presidential campaign. Secondly,
Kreitman conveniently failed to
mention that Gallup and Harris
polls from that same week
showed Obama’s approval at 43
percent and 37 percent, respec-
tively. Gee, Keith, I guess that ol’
cherry-picker really comes in
handy sometimes, huh?

NEW YORK — Stocks sank during
Friday’s shortened session as jittery
traders were afraid to commit to any
holdings ahead of the weekend amid lin-
gering uncertainty surrounding Europe’s
debt troubles and North Korea’s war
threats.
European stock markets and the euro
fell as worries mounted that Portugal
will be the next country to need cash
from other European Union countries,
even as details of Ireland’s bailout were
being worked out.
On Friday, Portugal adopted a raft of
debt-reducing austerity measures, which
the government claimed would be
enough to restore market confidence in
its public finances without resorting to a
bailout.
However, that didn’t soothe traders
who are also nervously eyeing North
Korea’s threat of war, which could desta-
bilize its neighboring Asian nations.

Debt,turmoil sweep Europe Stocks,euro
By Barry Hatton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LISBON, Portugal— Europe struggled
mightily Friday to keep the debt crisis from
engulfing country after country. Portugal
passed austerity measures to fend off the spec-
ulative trades pushing it toward a bailout and
Ireland rushed to negotiate its own imminent
rescue.
As Portugal and Spain insisted they will not
seek outside help, creating an eery sense of
deja-vu for investors, Europe braced for what
seems inevitable — more expensive bailouts.
The Portuguese Parliament approved an
unpopular debt-reducing package, including
tax hikes and cuts in pay and welfare benefits.
But while that helped to avoid a sharper dete-
rioration in bond markets, the sense among
analysts was that the move had only bought a
little time.
Adding to the pressure, Ireland’s major
banks were hit with credit downgrades — one
to junk bond status — as speculation mounted
that the EU-IMF bailout of Ireland, to be
revealed within days, would require investors
to take losses, a possibility earlier denied by
officials.
“This confusing ’pea-soup’ of indecision,
vacillation and disunity by the EU is begin-
ning to create unnecessarily seismic waves of
fear in international bond and money mar-
kets,” said David Buik, markets analyst at
BGC Partners.

Bess comes
home with
Dolphins to
face Raiders
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — Growing up on the rough
streets in the shadow of the Oakland Coliseum,
Davone Bess always dreamed of one day playing
pro ball at the nearby complex.
That dream endured through watching his
uncle get murdered at a family barbecue as a 10-
year old, through his time at a juvenile facility
that cost him a scholarship to Oregon State, and
when he went undrafted in 2008 despite a stellar
college career at Hawaii.
Bess finally will get that opportunity Sunday
when he visits the Coliseum with the Miami
Dolphins (5-5) for their game against the
Oakland Raiders (5-5).
“It’s definitely going to be an honor, after all
the adversity that I’ve been through, to be able to
play in front of my home city,” he said in a con-
ference call with Bay Area reporters. “Just reach-
ing out to others, letting people know that there’s
a thing called hope and I’m a living example of
it. If you stick to your morals, stick to your goals,
and just continue to work hard and not let all the
little things distract you, or even the big things,
you can do whatever you want to as long as you
put your mind to it and you believe.”
It’s been a long, winding road for Bess to make
it in the NFL as a standout receiver for the
Dolphins. He grew up without a father in
Oakland and had to deal with tragedy early on
when he witnessed his uncle get shot and killed.

worst teams

By Bob Baum

GLENDALE, Ariz. — A few months ago,
pairing Arizona and San Francisco on Monday
night seemed like a good idea: the two-time
NFC West champion Cardinals against the 49ers
team that was supposed to win it this year.
Instead, a nationwide audience can tune in, or
tune out, a game between the worst teams in the
NFL’s worst division.
“I don’t make the schedule,” Arizona’s Larry
Fitzgerald said. “I just go play when they tell me
to play.”
The 49ers and Cardinals each lug 3-7 records
into the contest.
Arizona, playing the first of three straight at
home, has lost five in a row, its longest skid since
dropping eight straight in 2006, Dennis Green’s
final season as coach. Last Sunday, San
Francisco was shut out at home for the first time
since 1977, 21-0 by Tampa Bay.

No.7 Stanford closes regular season vs Oregon St.

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STANFORD — When Sione Fua
first arrived at Stanford, he spent
this time of year just waiting for the
season to end.
Enduring a 1-11 season on a cam-
pus full of sports teams competing
for championships just added to the
frustration. As he prepares four
years later for his final home game,
the football team is as dominant as
many of the school’s other sports —
a remarkable turnaround.
“It was definitely the hardest
thing,” said Fua, who was a fresh-
man defensive lineman in 2006. “All
the work you put in, all the time, all
the hours, all the meetings. It’s a
long season when you only have one
win. You don’t really have that
desire to play anymore. You just
come in and look at the clock the
whole time and can’t wait for the
practice to be over.”
Instead of playing out the string,
No. 7 Stanford (10-1, 7-1 Pac-10)
has plenty on the line going into its
regular season finale on Saturday
against Oregon State (5-5, 4-3). The
Cardinal likely need a win to keep
alive their hopes to make it to the
Rose Bowl or another BCS game.
Few outside of Stanford would
have predicted such a turnaround.
But coach Jim Harbaugh came in
after that season talking about Rose
Bowls and national titles and the
players quickly bought in to what he
was selling.
“The more you play, the more you
know it’s possible,” said cornerback
Richard Sherman, who was also a
freshman in 2006. “Coach
Harbaugh came in here and changed
the mindset of all the players and
coaches and general public and peo-
ple started believing you can win
these games regardless of recruiting
or things people believed held
Stanford back in the past. He over-
looked that and said it was an
excuse and forced people to start
believe we could win.”
The progress has been steady ever
since. The Cardinal won four games
the following year, including the
memorable upset at No. 2 Southern
California and a home win over
California in the Big Game.
Stanford won five games in 2008,
falling just short of making it to a
bowl, but finally broke through last
season. Led by Heisman Trophy
runner-up Toby Gerhart, the
Cardinal won eight games and made
it to the Sun Bowl for the school’s
first bowl bid since 2001.
With Gerhart gone, some expect-
ed the Cardinal to take a step back
this season. But led by quarterback
Andrew Luck, Stanford has put
together one of the best seasons in
school history.
The Cardinal can set a school
record for wins on Saturday and
stay in position for a possible BCS
bid.
“You always hope for this,”
Sherman said. “To be in the position
we’re in now is an amazing position
but it’s nothing unless we win this
upcoming game. If we go 10-2 and
go to a bowl game it’s really kind of
Mr. Irrelevant. You want to enjoy it,
but you can’t enjoy it until it’s over.”
This game has big meaning for
the Beavers, who are hoping to
become bowl eligible for a school-
record fifth straight season.
A home loss two weeks ago to
Pac-10 doormat Washington State
appeared to end those chances, but
Oregon State responded with a 36-7
victory over USC last week and now
needs to beat either Stanford or No.
1 Oregon in the regular season finale
at home next week to make it back
to a bowl.
“We’re coming off a nice win
where we played better football, and
hopefully we can build on that and
play our best game,” coach Mike
Riley said. “That’s what it’s going to
take.”
Stanford has handily avenged
losses already this season against
Wake Forest, Arizona and
California — outscoring those three
teams 118-45 a year after losing to
them. The last team left on the
schedule that beat the Cardinal a
year ago is the Beavers.
Oregon State jumped out to a 31-
7 halftime lead that game before
holding on for a 38-28 victory that
handed Stanford its first conference
loss. The memories from that defeat
are still fresh.
“Them just whipping our butt
every which way it could be
whipped I guess,” Luck said when
asked about memories from the
game. “They really took it to us up
in Corvallis.”
The toughest task will be control-
ling Jacquizz Rodgers, who ran for
189 yards and four touchdowns
against the Cardinal a year ago.
The 5-foot-7 back presents all
sorts of challenges as he is difficult
to spot behind the offensive line, has
the strength and low center of grav-
ity to break through tackles and the
speed to break a play open.
“Stopping him is going to take the
whole defense, 11 guys swarming to
the ball every play,” Fua said. “He
can take any play and reverse it all
the way outside and with his speed
and athleticism make people miss
and turn any play into a touchdown
play. The key to stopping Oregon
State is stopping Jacquizz.”

F1 boss Ecclestone attacked outside London office

LONDON — Formula One boss Bernie
Ecclestone suffered a minor head injury when he
was attacked outside his London office this week
and robbed of jewelry worth $314,000.
The 80-year-old Ecclestone was treated at a
hospital after being punched and kicked by
four men following his arrival at the offices of

Ecclestone was released from the hospital.
Police are investigating but no arrests had
been made.
Police said Ecclestone was accompanied by a
woman, identified in British media reports as his
Brazilian girlfriend, Fabiana Flosi, at the time of
the attack around 10:30 p.m.
Earlier this month, Ecclestone complained
there were not enough police officers on the
streets of London.
“Normally like in America or anywhere you
go, there are people getting mugged,”
Ecclestone said. “In London, it’s a funny thing,
you know. It’s surprising in Oxford Street the
number of people that get mugged there hourly.
“We should have more police there.”

Dead rats, razor blades and refs
should never be brought together
By John Leicester
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
For once, it was understandable although
not necessarily right that Arsene Wenger
complained. No two ways about it: His
team, Arsenal, should have been awarded a
penalty when its substitute striker, Carlos
Vela, was hacked down in front of goal by
Alberto Rodriguez, a Peruvian defender
for Portuguese side Braga.
Because this was the Champions
League, Hungarian referee Viktor Kassai
had two extra assistants to help him. Two
extra pairs of eyes that are meant to spot
and help weed out the cheaters who push,
shove, trip and otherwise foul in the box.
Two extra pairs of eyes that European
soccer boss Michel Platini hopes will,
with time, demonstrate that referees don't
need video replays to aid their officiating,
because humans — in sufficient numbers
— can do the job just fine.
Well, back to the drawing board.
That Rodriguez's thrusting tackle
should have been declared a foul was as
obvious as a bright red London bus. Vela,
a lithe Mexican goal-scorer who came off
the bench just moments earlier in place of
winger Theo Walcott, had a choice: stay
rooted to the spot and risk a broken bone
from Rodriguez's lunge or dive for safety.
Instinctively, he leapt, and tripped over
Rodriguez's outstretched leg, too.
Instead of giving a penalty, Kassai
decided that Vela dived deliberately to
trick him into awarding a spot-kick. Out
came a yellow card for Vela, and out
went the notion that Platini's experi-
ment with extra officials to better police
the goal area will settle, once and for
all, the long-running debate about
whether humans or video technology

a bad Monday night game, I wouldn’t
watch,” 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis
said. “But for me, I think it is going to be
a good Monday night game.”
It’s bound to be more entertaining, he
said, than the last two Monday games, San
Diego’s 35-14 win over Denver last week,
preceded a week earlier by Philadelphia’s
59-28 drubbing of Washington.
“They’re supposed to be prima donna
teams of the league and look how that
can best bring more justice to the pitch.
Arsenal's defense, porous and switch-
ing on and off like a dying lightbulb,
was largely to blame for the London
side's 2-0 defeat on Tuesday night.
Then again, the result might have been
different had Kassai and his assistants
given that penalty in the 77th minute,
when the score was still 0-0. Even with
all of its extra eyes, the enlarged team
of Kassai, plus four Hungarian assistant
referees, still made a sorry mistake.
"I would like to see what the fifth
official is doing," Wenger fumed after-
ward. "We have the proof again tonight
that it's absolutely useless, this system."
So what's to be done? Is video the way
forward? Installing that technology could
be expensive and there'd be annoying inter-
ruptions as match officials pause to watch
replays. Or do the extra officials need more
time to prove their worth? Soccer's rule-
makers will need to take a decision on that
fairly rapidly if they are to have five offi-
cials, instead of the previous three, in place
for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The only easy answer is this: No matter
what aids are adopted, referees will always
make mistakes. It is impossible for them
not to. Respected managers like Wenger
should remind fans of that. Instead of being
quick to whine about refs, they should
admit that their players and/or tactics were
poor, as Arsenal's were in Portugal.
Otherwise, pushed to extremes, you
get what's happening in Scotland.
Referees there have voted to strike this
coming weekend because irate fans and
managers have ignored the truth that
match officials can only be fallible.
Scottish media reports of the outrages
suffered by referees there make depress-
ing reading. Razor blades and dead rats
looked,” Willis said.
And, despite their bad records, the 49ers
and Cardinals can, with a straight face, say
they are still in the division race. That’s
because first-place Seattle is just 5-5.
“We certainly haven’t given up. I know
that I haven’t,” Willis said. “I know that
my teammates haven’t because the
opportunity is still there. We still have a
lot of division games to play.”
Arizona quarterback Derek Anderson
said the same thing. “We have four
games at home (out of six) to finish the
year,” he said. “We are two games out in
this division. Anything can happen. By
no means are we out of it completely.”
Forget about the division race,
THE DAILY JOURNAL
sent to them in the post. Smashed win-
dows. Phoned threats to the home of
Willie Collum, reportedly including a
caller who menaced his wife and chil-
dren, after he officiated last month's
derby between Rangers and Celtic.
Platini was there for that match, wit-
nessing for himself the ferocious rivalry
between those Glasgow teams.
"These people are going to make mis-
takes and to be a referee I think you
have to be a masochist," the UEFA pres-
ident told the Scottish Football
Association's web site. "The system is
bad and I have known this for 40 years."
In other words, soccer authorities know
that referees are struggling but have been
slow to help. Just as tough to deal with,
says a now retired Scottish referee who offi-
ciated there for two decades, is the "water
torture" of constant taunts and snide remarks
that match officials suffer off the pitch, when
they're out shopping with their families, for
instance, or working their day jobs.
Scotland's soccer authorities say they
sympathize. The Scottish FA's chief
executive, Stewart Regan, said he fully
understands "why incessant scrutiny,
criticism and questioning of their
integrity has brought them to the brink
of a withdrawal of labor."
Yet the SFA says it might fly in Irish or
Scandinavian referees if its own refuse to
blow their whistles this weekend.
Fine. Even if a strike is avoided or cir-
cumvented so that the game can go on,
Scottish referees will have successfully
made a point that applies to their col-
leagues everywhere: They try to do their
best in tough circumstances and, for
that, they deserve respect not hounding.
Bottom line: Without referees, we'd
have no soccer at all.
Whisenhunt said, the Cardinals just need
to stop the free-fall.
“I’m worried about trying to get our
team to play the way it’s capable of
playing and winning a football game.
Our fans deserve that,” he said.
This is new territory for Whisenhunt.
His longest losing streak since coming
to Arizona in 2007 was three games in
his first season. The Cardinals’ defense
has been bad and their offense worse.
Arizona ranks in the bottom five in the
NFL in all six major categories: 29th in
total defense, 28th in run defense, 27th
in pass defense, 31st in total offense,
28th in run offense and 28th in pass
offense.

Newton leads No. 2 Auburn to improbable 28-27 win
By Paul Newberry
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Cam
Newton took an improbable victory
lap around Bryant-Denny Stadium,
savoring his most audacious per-
formance yet in this season of tri-
umph and controversy: leading
Auburn back from 24 points down
against the defending national
champs.
One more showing like that, and
it’s Newton and the second-ranked
Tigers who’ll be getting a shot at the
title.
Newton threw for three touch-
downs and ran for another, keeping
Auburn on track for a shot at the
BCS championship game with a
stunning 28-27 victory over No. 9
Alabama on Friday.
Auburn (12-0, 8-0 Southeastern
Conference) trailed 21-0 before it
even picked up a first down, and
Alabama (9-3, 5-3) had a 314-2 lead
in total yards when things looked

especially grim for the Tigers.
But Newton, with another signa-
ture performance in this season that
has no equal on the field, rallied the
Tigers from a
24-0 deficit to
leave the crowd
of more than
101,000 in dis-
belief when it
was over. Well,
except those
orange-clad
Cam Newton f a i t h f u l
crammed into
one end of the stadium amid all the
crimson, celebrating a win no one
could have seen coming just a cou-
ple of hours earlier.
Newton threw scoring passes of
36 yards to Emory Blake, 70 yards
to Terrell Zachery and, finally, a 7-
yarder to Philip Lutzenkirchen with
11:55 remaining that gave Auburn
its first lead of the day.
It held up, keeping the Tigers
perfect heading to next week’s
650-322-9288
SPORTS
SEC championship game against
South Carolina. If Auburn wins
that one, the reward will certainly
be a spot in the national title
game.
Newton also had a 1-yard TD run,
and this may be the performance
that locks up the Heisman Trophy
— if allegations that his father
sought a huge payout for the quar-
terback to sign out of junior college
don’t weigh too heavily on the vot-
ers’ minds.
Certainly on the field, Newton has
no peer.
It’s unlikely that anyone in the
country could lead a team back
from such a daunting deficit at
Bryant-Denny Stadium, where
Alabama had won 20 in a row.
Newton didn’t do much on the
ground, rushing for just 39 yards
and enduring plenty of big hits in
the backfield, including four
sacks.
But Newton showed he’s no
slouch with his arm, either, com-

pleting 13 of 20 for 216 yards.
The improbable comeback
wouldn’t have been possible with-
out some help from Alabama. Last
year’s Heisman winner, Mark
Ingram, fumbled the ball away at
the end of a long run just when it
looked like the Tide was about to
blow the Tigers all the way back to
the Plains.
Another fumble, this one coughed
up by quarterback Greg McElroy
after a big hit by Nick Fairley —
and recovered by Fairley — cost the
Tide another scoring chance deep in
Auburn territory near the end of the
first half.
Alabama still led 24-7 going to
the locker room, but yet another
miscue probably hurt the Tide most
of all. On Auburn’s second play of
the second half, Newton threw a
deep pass for Zachery down the
sideline. Alabama safety Mark
Barron came racing over and
appeared to have a chance either at
the interception or a big hit on the

He got neither. Barron actually
got to the receiver a little early and
slid by him. Zachery came down
with the ball and kept on going for
the touchdown that cut the deficit to
24-14.
The comeback was on. The Tigers
never slowed down.
Alabama, last season’s national
champion, started out like a team
that deserved a shot at defending its
title, even after losses to South
Carolina and LSU.
The Tide scored on its first
three possessions, carving up
Auburn with McElroy’s pinpoint
passes. He completed his first 12
passes, including a 68-yard
touchdown to Julio Jones and a
12-yard scoring toss to Darius
Hanks. Ingram started things off
with a 9-yard TD run, and it
looked as though Ingram had a
shot to make it 28-0 when he
caught a short pass and headed
down the sideline.

Luckily for Bess, Beam was

coach June Jones give him a shot.
Jones did and Bess made
that decision pay off, catching
293 passes in three seasons.
Despite those gaudy numbers,
Bess went undrafted in 2008
in part because he is only 5-

with the Raiders, but they

Ward ready to defend WBA super middleweight title
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — Andre Ward doesn’t mind
taking a break from the Super Six World Boxing
Classic. He is, however, bothered by the notion
that his title defense against Cameroon’s Sakio
Bika on Saturday is a letdown.
Ward, the WBA super middleweight cham-
pion, bristled when the question was posed
this week. He insists he has no intentions of
overlooking Bika, a late replacement when
SPORTS
Andre Dirrell pulled out of the Super Six.
“Absolutely not,” Ward said during a con-
ference call. “At the end of the day my cham-
pionship belt is still on the line ... and there’s
a man on the other side of the ring that’s try-
ing to hurt me. To me there’s no letdown. For
my side, my team, it’s business as usual.”
This is Ward’s second straight fight in which
his original opponent pulled out.
In January, Jermain Taylor withdrew from
the Super Six tournament. Allan Green
replaced Taylor and lost a unanimous decision
to Ward five months later.
Ward’s fight with Bika is not part of the
Super Six but will be part of a dual site co-
main event. In the other featured bout, which
is part of the tournament, Arthur Abraham
meets Carl Froch for the vacant WBC super
middleweight title in Helsinki.
Ward (22-0, 13 KOs) has gone the distance in
four of his five previous bouts after a run of seven
straight knockouts. He was supposed to meet
Weekend • Nov. 27-28, 2010 17
Dirrell in the final group-stage match of the Super
Six, but Dirrell pulled out because of headaches
and dizziness stemming from his disqualification
victory against Abraham in March. Bika (28-4-2,
19 KOs), a member of Cameroon’s 2000
Olympic team, quickly stepped in.
“This is a huge, huge chance for me,” Bika
said. “I don’t really care who I’m fighting and
I don’t really care where. I don’t know exactly
how (Ward) can handle it on the inside or out-
side. I want to go there and bring him down.”

Play it again! Italy-U.S.meet again for WCup spot
By Nancy Armour
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
There was a time not too long ago when the
U.S. women could roll over opponents even
when the Americans were far from at their best.
Those times are clearly gone.
Stunned in regional qualifying, the top-
ranked Americans are scrambling for a spot at
next year’s Women’s World Cup - a tournament
they’ve won twice. After beating Italy last
weekend in the first leg of a home-and-home
playoff, the Americans can advance with a win
or a draw in Saturday’s finale at Toyota Park.
“I think what we’re going through is a lot of

in a Division III semifinal game, while rivals
Menlo School and Sacred Heart Prep meet for
the fourth time in two years. Last season, the
PAL had two teams play in championship
games – Terra Nova and Menlo School – but
both schools came up short in their quest for
CCS glory.
Division III
No. 4 Terra Nova (7-4) at No. 1 Jefferson
(9-2), 7 p.m.
The Tigers whipped up on No. 5 Aptos 43-
13 in the first round of CCS. The Indians
dominated No. 8 Del Mar 32-7.
After suffering a 42-10 loss to Half Moon
Bay in the regular-season finale, Terra Nova
bounced back in a big way in the CCS open-
er. Despite miserable conditions, quarterback
Chris Forbes threw for 320 yards and three
touchdowns and rushed for a fourth. Fullback
Josh Cruz had one of his best games of the
season, rushing for 164 yards and two touch-
downs of his own.
Jefferson also put a disappointing regular-
season finale — a 35-22 loss to King’s
Academy — behind it after scoring 32 points
in the first 20 minutes as the Indians cruised to
the win over Del Mar. Indians quarterback
Cheyenne Meafua accounted for three scores

fatigue as it is mental,” captain Christie
Rampone said Friday. “We’re not stressing,
we’re not panicking too much. What we’re
focused on right now is we’re not playing the
best soccer (so) let’s just get the job done. If we
qualify ... then we’ll worry about fixing the
things here and there come January.”
The Americans are not exactly a dying
dynasty. Their loss to Mexico in the CONCA-
CAF semifinals was their first since the open-
ing game of the Beijing Olympics - where they
went on to win the gold medal - and only their
second since the 2007 World Cup. They’ve
conceded 26 goals in 61 games under coach
Pia Sundhage and have outscored opponents
47-6 this year alone.
But the United States is no longer the jug-
back into shape coming off a knee injury.
A number of people have said Jefferson’s
ability to beat King’s Academy took a big hit
when the Indians lost Allen, but they don’t
rely on just one player to do the heavy lifting.
Against Menlo School, for example, quarter-
back Ezekiel Nunu was the team’s leading
rusher with 75 yards as six players had at least
three carries and two receivers who caught
five passes.
The last time these teams met was 2002 and
the Tigers buried the Indians, beating them
50-8. This game could have big implications
down the road as much of the top Daly City
talent has migrated over to Terra Nova over
the last couple of decades. Jefferson coach
Ako Poti has said the resurrection of the
Jefferson program is dependent on keeping
local talent at home.
Division IV
No. 6 Menlo School (8-3) at No. 2 Sacred
Heart Prep (9-2), noon
The Knights pummeled No. 3 San Lorenzo
Valley, 36-14 in the first round of the Division
IV tournament last week. The Gators cruised
past No. 7 Seaside, 49-20.
This matchup is quickly becoming a marquee
one on the Peninsula. Since starting their rivalry
series in 2003, the Valparaiso Avenue neighbors
have met nine times, with Menlo winning six of
them. This matchup is the fourth time the teams
have met the last two seasons. Menlo swept the
regular-season and CCS game from the Gators
on the way to the CCS championship game last
year.
The Gators hope to repeat the result of their
gernaut it was in the 1990s, when Mia Hamm
inspired millions of girls all over the world to
lace up their cleats.
“All the nations in Europe, the world, have
improved,” Italy coach Pietro Ghedin said.
“The big gap, it’s a little bit smaller. But it is
still a gap.”
Much like Michael Jordan’s championship
Chicago Bulls or the New York Yankees in the
late ‘90s, Hamm and her teammates were a
sublimely gifted group that would stand out in
any generation. Hamm. Michelle Akers. Joy
Fawcett. Tiffeny Milbrett. Kristine Lilly - the
entire lineup was overwhelming.
But no team can sustain that kind of domi-
nance, and the U.S. team is no different. As that
golden generation of players was retiring, other
game two weeks ago against the Knights,
when they won the seventh annual Valparaiso
Bowl 35-7.
This marks the third straight season Sacred
Heart Prep has advanced to the CCS semifi-
nals, beating Scotts Valley two years ago
before falling to Sacred Heart Cathedral in the
2008 championship game.
This game will boil down to which defense
can stop the opposing offense. The Gators
rushed for over 400 yards in their win last
week. Pedro Robinson was the breakout star
for the Gators last week, rushing for 181 yards
on 17 carries.
Menlo counters with a prolific aerial assault
and an under-appreciated running attack.
Despite windy, wet conditions, quarterback
Robert Wickers passed for 245 yards. Jordan
Williams had a big rushing day for the
Knights last week, as he moved from a slot
receiver position and rushed for 103 yards,
caught five passes for 72 and scored three
touchdowns.
Division II

The Chargers blasted No. 6 Mt. Pleasant

Cherokees hung on to beat No. 7 Los Altos,
20-13.

“The best time to get a sense of that is when
you lose,” Abby Wambach said. “We were get-
ting a sense of it in ‘04 and ‘07, but winning
kind of blinds you in some ways, especially if
you’re so used to it.”
After getting over the upset to Mexico, the
Americans are relishing their new challenge.
It’s similar to when they lost to Norway in
the opener of the Olympic tournament, mid-
fielder Carli Lloyd said. By being forced to
refocus, the Americans might just become a
better team.
Division I bracket and the other was moved
into the Open Division, respectively. So
expect the Chargers to be battled tested.
The Chargers closed the regular season by
winning three of their last four, with their only
loss during that run coming at the hands of Oak
Grove. Counting their CCS win, the Chargers
are averaging over 44 points in their last four
wins. Leland is led by the one-two rushing
punch of Kenny Portera and Chris Santini. The
two combined for over 1,500 yards and 14
touchdowns. Against Mt. Pleasant, Portera
rushed for 137 yards on just 11 carries.
A year ago, the hit on Sequoia was that the
Cherokees didn’t know how to battle back from
deficits. This year, however, that’s about all the
Cherokees know as they has rallied from deficits
all season long. While this is only the second
round of CCS, the Cherokees have been in play-
off mode the last three weeks, where any loss in
their final two regular-season games would
probably have dropped them from the playoffs.
Sequoia needed overtime to beat both Hillsdale
and Carlmont to secure the Lake Division cham-
pionship and the automatic CCS berth that
comes with it.
Not that the Cherokees backed into the play-
offs in any way, shape or form. It can be argued
they are the best team in the entire PAL. Last
week against an always tough Los Altos squad,
quarterback James Beekley was the star, rushing
for 124 yards and a touchdown on just 11 carries.
As good as the Cherokees offense has been
this season, the defense is just as good.
They’ve allowed less than 17 points per game,
which is the third best scoring defense in the
entire PAL.

Let down with hair By Jake Coyle

Walt Disney’s modernizing of the Grimm fairy tale is

thorough enough that even the original title,
“Rapunzel,” has been swapped for “Tangled.” One
can’t help but wonder if in today’s Hollywood, we
might look forward to other contempo fairy tales
like “Heeled” (“Cinderella”), “Ambiened”
I can, you
(“Sleeping Beauty”) and “Twilight 5” (“Little Red
Riding Hood”).
“Tangled,” which is in 3-D, gives ample opportu-

tower), Rapunzel (Mandy Moore)
explains herself like a Facebook

page: “It’s complicated.”
Since the 1940s, Disney has
toyed with the story of
Rapunzel. “Tangled,” directed
by “Bolt” helmer Byron
Howard and Nathan Greno
(head of story on “Bolt”), final-
ly arrives as the much ballyhooed 50th
animated feature from Disney, and the last
animated fairy tale currently planned by the
studio.
The Brothers Grimm have been very good to Disney over
the years and returning to one of their tales has very much the
feel of “go with what you know.” While “Tangled” is not in the
league of Disney’s best, it’s still a sturdy, pleasant
execution by the animation machine, retooled
slightly for digital times.
The film is digitally animated (though with
some hand-drawn aspects) and was one of the
first projects led by Pixar chief John Lasseter
once he became head of Disney animation.
Thus “Tangled” is the first Pixar-ish Disney
film, though it still contains all the familiar
Disney hallmarks: song-and-dance numbers,
amusing sidekicks and a frightfully cruel villain.
That villain is Mother Gothel (Broadway veteran
Donna Murphy), who steals Rapunzel as a baby, locking
her away in a remote tower where Rapunzel’s magical hair pre-
serves her youth.
Rapunzel, with big green eyes and 70-feet of blonde hair, is turning 18 and her birth-
day wish is to see the kingdom’s annual floating lantern festival. Her only friend is

f you’ve been to the grocery store in

you’ve probably seen some of my classmates
braving the cold and rain
to stand for hours outside

are working for the same cause — San Mateo

The canned food drive (or, as we Bearcats
abbreviate it, the CFD), is one of the school’s
biggest events, a community service venture
that unites much of the student body towards
one common goal. Armed with our signs, tins
and carts, we zone in on local grocery stores
for three weeks out of every year to collect
cans and money for the Second Harvest Food
Bank and Samaritan House. It’s a matter of
immense pride amongst the student body that

Billy Joel mending after replacements of both hips
NEW YORK — Billy Joel is recovering from double hip-

Joel spokeswoman Claire Mercuri told People magazine
Wednesday that the 61-year-old pop star had both hips
replaced last week to correct a congenital condition.
She says Joel, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer responsible
for such hits as “Piano Man,” “Uptown Girl” and “New York
State of Mind,” is doing “extremely well.”
Joel toured this year and was recently promoting the docu-
mentary film “The Last Play at Shea.” There’s no word on
when he plans to perform on stage again.
The dark side calls:‘Darth Vader’ costume on sale
LONDON — For sale: A chance to embrace the dark side.
Christie’s auction house is selling an original Darth Vader
costume from the “Star Wars” movie franchise.
The outfit — a jet-black helmet, mask and armor — is
expected to sell Thursday for between 160,000 pounds and
230,000 pounds ($250,000 to $365,000).
Christie’s says the costume is thought to have been made for
“The Empire Strikes Back,” the second film in George Lucas’s
sci-fi series, released in 1980.
The auction house’s head of popular culture, Neil Roberts,
says the costume is one of the most iconic in the history of cin-

Unconventional love story ‘Nutcracker in 3-D’

crushes classic tale
‘Love & Other Drugs’sells same old potion
By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The studio bills Jake Gyllenhaal
and Anne Hathaway’s “Love &
Other Drugs” as an unconventional
love story.
Maybe a bit, in its unusual setting,
the world of prescription drug sales,
and in its attempt to inject drama by
arbitrarily giving an incurable dis-
ease to one of its romantic leads.
Yet despite its dramatic pretenses
and far racier sex scenes than the
typical studio romance, the movie is
as predictable and ultimately as
sappy as any other run-of-the-mill
Hollywood love story.
Gyllenhaal and Hathaway, who
co-starred as a couple in a sinking
marriage in “Brokeback Mountain,”
look and feel right in each other’s
arms, sharing a relaxed bond that
makes you think, here are two peo-
ple who belong together.
Co-written by director Edward
Zwick and producers Charles
Randolph and Marshall Herskovitz,
the screenplay shoves the two
together awkwardly — and keeps
them coming back together even
more awkwardly — undermining
the easy, genuine sense of affection
and passion the stars manage.
But awkwardness seems to have
been there from the start in creating
a screen adaptation of Jamie Reidy’s
book “Hard Sell: The Evolution of a
Viagra Salesman,” which was not a
romance at all.
Gyllenhaal’s Jamie Randall is a
suitable stand-in for Reidy’s slick,
aggressive master salesman of phar-
maceuticals in the late 1990s, when
Viagra first came on the market.
Hathaway’s Maggie Murdock is a
complete fabrication, however — a
love interest dreamed up so the film-
makers could have a love interest.
She’s often sharply written,
A little less of the predictable love and more attention to these other drugs
might have given the movie a rosier glow.
always shrewdly performed by
Hathaway, and there’s certainly
more going on with this character
than with most big-screen lovers.
Her appearance feels like a forced
entry into the story, though, as new-
bie salesman Jamie meets her at a
doctor’s office, where she’s come to
get fresh prescriptions for all the
drugs she needs to fight early onset
Parkinson’s disease.
Jamie’s a ladies man whose love
life prospers on the road.
Maggie’s similarly interested in
casual sex at most, partly because
of her illness, partly because of
sour past relationships.
Neither wants anything deep or
long-term, and both seem fine part-
ing after a one-night stand. And
then, somehow, they’re in a relation-
ship, quickly and clunkily crafted
by the filmmakers so they can pro-
ceed to stage two, the bumpy road to
love when disease is involved.
Yes, it’s different, but it plays out
as superficially and inevitably as if
either Jamie or Maggie had a pos-
sessively overbearing mother, or a
bratty kid from a previous relation-
ship, or any other oversimplified
obstacle to romance.

Gulf Coast hopes for post-spill boom from retirees
By Jay Reeves
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORANGE BEACH, Ala. — For all the oil
spill claims and cleanup work by BP, retirees
from the North may be the best survival bet for
some Gulf Coast resort towns this winter.
After a disastrous summer tourism season
and a slower-than-normal fall, Northern and
Midwestern visitors known as “snowbirds”
already are flocking along the Gulf for the win-
ter, filling up condominium parking lots and
campgrounds with cars and RVs from states
like Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana.
This annual migration of the AARP set is
worth millions to the coastal economy and typ-
ically serves a financial bridge for tourist-
dependent condominiums, restaurants and
stores between the holidays and the start of
spring break season, when business picks up
again. This year, snowbirds are critical for the

rolls and changes of color.
At first, Mother Gothel acts as though she
might take Rapunzel out into the world, but
she quickly reneges, insisting Rapunzel isn’t
ready yet. Darkly manipulative and passive-
aggressive, she’s a classic villain and one of
Disney’s best.
When Rapunzel is hurt after Mother Gothel
tells her she won’t ever leave the tower, she
sighs: “Oh, great. Now, I’m the bad guy.”
Instead of the prince of the Grimm fairy
tale, we get Flynn Rider (Zachary Levi), a
rogue on the run who seeks a hiding place in
the tower. Though resistant at first, Rapunzel
takes to him and let’s him lead her, for the first

companies and property owners who have suf-
fered for months because of the BP oil spill.
Without the snowbirds, some businesses teeter-
ing on the edge of solvency may not make it
until the weather warms up again.
“You take that away when they didn’t have
anything to start with and you start a whole new
tier of desperation,” said Tony Kennon, mayor
of this beach town on the Alabama-Florida bor-
der. The local tourism agency is advertising in
the Midwest, inviting snowbirds to return to the
coast. Winter rates always are far less than sum-
mer prices, with many condominium owners
renting out their units to Northern visitors for
months at a time. Some condominiums and
motels are offering even lower prices than nor-
mal this year, with prices reduced by two-thirds
at a few.
At the Gulf Breeze RV Resort in neighboring
Gulf Shores, workers didn’t know whether
snowbirds would be scared off by images of oil
time, on to solid ground. Finally out of the
tower, she’s wonderfully bipolar: a montage
switches between her utter glee at freedom,
and dramatic swoons of shame in disobeying
who she thinks is her mother.
Rapunzel and Flynn set out on a journey
that will include a tavern full of theatrical
thugs, chase scenes and moments of budding
romance. The screenplay by Dan Fogelman
(“Bolt,” “Cars”) gets the tale out of the tower,
bounding across cartoon woodlands.
Rapunzel takes it all in with the curiosity of
a wide-eyed innocent. Gamely totting around
her long trail of hair, she uses it inventively —
like an Indiana Jones with a built-in whip.
Flynn is less memorable. He’s uncertain of
himself, but he’s slowly pulled in by
Rapunzel’s goodness. It is, of course, a pre-
dictable arc, but it’s managed without much
feeling. Flynn is flip and rather obnoxious.
When he tells Rapunzel, “Sorry blondie, I
impact in our world. Just two weeks ago, we
were reminded of the economic hardships
that many in San Mateo County face every
day; we were certainly stunned when the
leaders of this year’s CFD told us some of
the statistics on poverty on the Peninsula.
The facts are staggering. According to the
Northern California Council for the
Community, more than 25 percent of the
community has to make daily sacrifices
because of poverty, sometimes having to
forego adequate food, shelter or health care.
Nearly one-third of all people in California
live well below the poverty level. And a full
30 percent of the recipients of food donated
hitting beaches during the summer. Would they
go elsewhere this year, perhaps to the East
Coast or farther south into Central Florida?
Julie Kenney, who works at the RV park, was
relieved to see campers from the Midwest begin
arriving earlier than normal in late October. The
resort’s 250 sites are now about 80 percent full,
and it’s completely booked after Jan. 1 without
any spill-related discounts.
“It would be really difficult if they don’t
come,” said Kenney. “A lot of the snowbirds
will travel over to Pensacola (Fla.) to go shop-
ping, so it really helps the whole coast.”
Retirees Mark and Diane Schnabel of Linton,
Ind., were worried about the oil spill as they
planned their trip to the coast earlier this year,
but they came anyway. Now, they’re glad they
did — the beaches are virtually oil-free, the
seafood is tasty and a dry fall has made for
mild, sunny days.
“We were very concerned about it, but we
don’t do back story,” we think: She can do
better.
His slacker nature works better when he,
without much fanfare, tells Rapunzel that
famous line, “Let down your hair” — the fairy
tale equivalent of “Release the Kraken!”
Both Rapunzel and Flynn too much resem-
ble Barbie and Ken, lacking both superficial
and emotional individuality. Moore and Levi
are flat. And we can’t help but wonder how

The animation, overseen by Glen Keane

row boat scene, reminiscent of “Kiss the Girl”
from “Mermaid.” Flynn and Rapunzel are sur-

nighttime sky and reflected in the water.

this task — organizations all over the

relaxing on the beach with her husband. “We
already have plans to come next year.”
Ron Sandefer researched beach conditions
before making the annual trek to the coast with
his wife Linda from their home in Paducah, Ky.
“We come here every November and I
checked the websites for oil reports and looked
at a lot of websites with live cam displays, and
we decided it would be just fine,” said Sandefer.
“I figured it there was a problem somewhere,
we could easily find a nice spot. It just didn’t
look that bad, and it isn’t.”

Panhandle communities like Panama City and
Destin, where there was little impact from the

of condominiums and a reputation for lower
prices.

For the songs, Disney turned to another
stalwart, Alan Menken, who composed the
scores to “Beauty and the Beast,” “The Little
Mermaid” and a number of the less memo-
rable Disney movies of the ‘00s. There’s no
hit here — “I See the Light,” “When Will My
Life Begin?” — but the songs (with lyrics by
Glenn Slater) get the job done, particularly
Mother Gothel’s big number, “Mother Knows
Best.”

around 7 a.m. A few hours later, Michelle had
picked out several presents for herself, includ-
ing a pair of UGG boots, perfume and an iPod
Touch. At Nordstrom, she scored a long-
sleeved purple shirt that her mother let her
wear out of the store.
“Last year we were careful,” said Elayne,
whose husband’s beer distribution business
has started to pick up again. “This year we’ll
do more.”
The strong Black Friday builds on retailers’
momentum after a solid start to November.
Shoppers who can afford it are buying more
nonessentials, like jewelry and luxury goods.
“Last year, consumers were extremely into
the basics, the socks, the pillows,” said Keith
Jelinek, director of the global retail practice at
consulting firm AlixPartners. “This year,
they’re hungry to dress up their wardrobes,
their homes. Shoppers were buying items
with a little more pizazz, trendier sweaters,
sheets in higher thread counts.”
He cautioned that they’re not looking to
replace everything — just looking for a few
special items. “They’re still very value-con-
scious,” he added.
Macy’s CEO Terry Lundgren said there
were 7,000 people outside its Manhattan flag-
ship store for its 4 a.m. opening, up from
5,000 people a year ago.
“The difference between this year and last
year was that last year, people had a budget
and a list. They’re doing the same thing this
year but they’re also buying for themselves,”
he said. Among some of the hot sellers were a
luggage set for $49.99 and $39.99 cashmere
sweaters.
He noted that two groups that helped fuel
customer traffic were young shoppers, ages
15 to 25, and men, both of whom were buying
for themselves.
Sharply reduced prices on flat-screen TVs
helped fuel many stores’ sales, according to
Marshal Cohen, market research analyst at
NPD Group Inc. Stores were grappling with a
glut of TVs heading into the season because
they had overestimated consumer demand.
Research firm ShopperTrak is expected to
release Black Friday data on Saturday, but a
full picture of how retailers fared for the over-
all weekend won’t be known until Thursday
when major retailers report their monthly
sales results.
For the economy, the question remains:
Will shoppers keep it up?
Nearly 15 million people remain unem-
ployed, and concerns about job security cloud
consumer confidence. Spending is picking up
but has not returned to pre-recession levels.
And shoppers haven’t let go of many cautious
habits learned from the Great Recession.
Many purchased with cash, and layaway
remained popular as shoppers try to budget.
Sears reported that consumers were setting
aside items like Nordic treadmills that were
on sale for $399, a savings of $400, to be
delivered after the holidays.
Credit cards were staying inside many wal-
lets.
“Now that I’m debt-free. I want to keep it
that way,” said Desiree Banks, who was at
Best Buy in Macedonia, Ohio, with a stack of
DVDS for $3.99 each.
Shoppers did their homework, researching
deals on websites. Stores made planning eas-
ier by touting their bargains last week.
thing this year but they’re also
buying for themselves.”
— Macy’s CEO Terry Lundgren
“Every year, we get more refined,” said Deb
Brown, 42, who was at the Bellevue Square
Mall in Bellevue, Wash. She came from
White Rock, British Columbia.
Many teens bucked the bargain-hunting
trend, shopping full force — and paying full
price — at high-end stores like Hollister and
American Eagle Outfitters, according to mall
officials. That suggests that parents, feeling
more financially secure, are giving their chil-
dren extra spending money, said Jharonne
Martis, director of consumer research at
Thomson Research.
A big worry is that some of the solid buying
earlier in November could steal thunder from
the rest of the season and leave a deeper lull
between Thanksgiving weekend and the few
days before Christmas.
Clearly, stores worked hard to draw shop-
pers in for Black Friday and earlier, with more
deals and expanded hours that allowed people
to get shopping soon after their Thanksgiving
dinner.
A number of stores including Old Navy,
Toys R Us and Sears opened on Thanksgiving
Day. Toys R Us was counting on getting an
extra boost by opening 24 hours straight,
starting at 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving. Many
stores had trotted out the “Black Friday” label
on sales as far back as October.
Best Buy Co. started its holiday TV ads 11
days earlier this year than last year. CEO
Brian Dunn said customer counts were show-
ing high-single-digit percentage increases
Friday morning compared to last year. He said
shoppers were throwing in items like Blu-ray
players to go with early morning bargains that
started at 5 a.m.
“Traffic was fast and furious. ... We started
earlier and we have more TV (commercials).
I think both of these things helped,” Dunn
said in an interview with The Associated
Press.
Wal-Mart, which had most stores open
around the clock, reported the top five selling
electronic items included an Emerson 32-inch
LCD HDTV for $198. Hot toys included $10
Barbies and $4 Zhu Zhu pets, which were last
year’s hot hit.
Thanksgiving weekend is huge for retailers.
In recent years, Black Friday — called that
because the surge of shoppers could take
retailers into profitability, or “the black,” for
the year — has been the busiest shopping day
of the year, according to data from
ShopperTrak.
Black Friday is generally not as big for
online retailers as Monday after Thanksgiving
— known as Cyber Monday — but many
were already off to a good start. By mid-after-
noon Friday, eBags sales soared 69.5 percent
compared with a year ago.
The retail blitz doesn’t make or break the
holiday season. In fact, shoppers seem to be
procrastinating more every year, giving retail-
ers some nail-biting moments waiting for
sales the last few days before Christmas.
Last year, the Thanksgiving shopping
weekend accounted for 12.3 percent of over-
all holiday revenue, according to
ShopperTrak. Black Friday made up about
half of that.

students watched before she sat on stage.
Eckford attempted to break the line three
times. She later learned that no blacks —
employees included — were allowed to enter
the school that day.
It was then that Eckford was forced to face
the angry mob outside. There was an angry
mob behind her and press in front of her as
she silently walked to the bus station.
She later learned the press created a physi-
cal barrier between her and the mob. Two
newspaper men sat with her.
“Don’t let them see you cry,” Eckford
recalled one man saying to her before putting
his arm around her, a move that angered the
crowd.
On Sept. 23, the group successfully
entered the school in a side door. News
traveled to a group gathered on the other
side of campus causing an uproar. Students
threw themselves from second story class-
rooms upon hearing the news. Police offi-
cers outside threw down their badges refus-

The nine students were ushered out in secret
to a car driven by local police officers in civil-
ian clothes.
President Dwight Eisenhower sent 1,000
paratroopers to allow a safe entry the follow-
ing day. Students entered with the help of a
military convoy Sept. 25.
A soldier was assigned to each student.
After about 10 days, however, the watchful
eyes began to allow negative behavior to slip
by, she said. Reports of violence were not
accepted unless corroborated by a teacher, a
feat Eckford said rarely occurred.
Today, Eckford says she’s still an ordinary
person. She did not graduate with honors. She
holds a high school diploma and bachelor’s
degree; and served five years in the U.S.
Army.
Government teacher Ashley Gray stressed
this point to his students: “She is an ordinary
person who did something extraordinary.
Anyone can be her.”
Central would not be integrated for many
years. South San Francisco High is widely
diverse, a point not lost on the students.

her on the page of your book, but it’s so dif-
ferent,” said 17-year-old Irving Meraz.

his red chariot while saying “hello,” to the
children waiting.
Many weren’t in San Mateo to shop, how-
ever.
General Manager Keith Schumacker noted
many families come by to see Santa and also
let kids wander around to make their
Christmas list.
“The neat thing is, parents can come back,
we wrap the gifts and can store them until
Christmas Eve,” Schumacker said.
Before the list-making could begin for
many of the young patrons, there was the sim-
way to provide gas.
The questions were tagged onto a
response to PG&E’s request for setting
rates for gas transmission and storage serv-

around safety procedures, specifically after
the San Bruno blast, were submitted by the
CPUC. On Wednesday, the CPUC released

A lasting memory for Eckford was more
personal: Two people who reached out in
friendship while she attended school.
“When you reach out to someone who is
being harassed, it is powerful to them. You in
effect, and I’m not exaggerating, you can help
them live another day,” she said.
Eckford also noted the meaning of words,
like calling someone the N-word or gay.
Talking to black students she noted: “When
you use the N-word ... you are teaching other
people you have racial self-hate.”
Hatred is spoken by many daily, but not
always noticed by those of us saying the
words, she noted.

North Korea remains defiant U.S.briefs allies about
By Lee Jin-Man

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
YEONPYEONG ISLAND, South
Korea — A defiant flash of North
Korean artillery within sight of the
island that it attacked this week sent
a warning signal to Seoul and
Washington: The North is not back-
ing down.
The apparent military drill Friday
came as the top U.S. commander in
South Korea toured Yeonpyeong
island to survey the wreckage from
the rain of artillery three days earli-
er. As a U.S. nuclear-powered air-
craft carrier headed toward the
Yellow Sea for exercises next week
with South Korea, the North warned
that the joint maneuvers will push
the Korean peninsula to the “brink of
war.”
South Korea’s government, mean-
while, struggled to recoup from the
surprise attacks that killed four peo-
ple, including two civilians, and
forced its beleaguered defense min-
ister to resign Thursday. President
Lee Myung-bak on Friday named a
former chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff to the post.
Tensions have soared between the
Koreas since the North’s strike

Yeonpyeong in a major escalation of
their sporadic skirmishes along the

The heightened animosity

next WikiLeaks release
By Jill Lawless
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — U.S. allies around
the world have been briefed by
American diplomats about an expect-
ed release of classified U.S. files by
the WikiLeaks website that is likely
to cause international embarrassment
and could damage some nations’
relations with the United States.
The release of hundreds of thou-
sands of State Department cables is
expected this weekend, although
WikiLeaks has not been specific
about the timing. The cables are
thought to include private, candid
assessments of foreign leaders and
governments and could erode trust in
the U.S. as a diplomatic partner.
In Britain, Prime Minister David
Cameron’s spokesman, Steve Field,
said Friday that the government had
been told of “the likely content of
these leaks” by U.S. Ambassador
Louis Susman. Field declined to say
what Britain had been warned to
expect.
“I don’t want to speculate about
precisely what is going to be leaked
before it is leaked,” Field said.
In Washington, State Department
spokesman P.J. Crowley said U.S.
diplomats were continuing the
process of warning governments
around the world about what might
be in the documents. Many fear the
cables will embarrass the United
States and its allies, and reveal sensi-
tive details of how the U.S. conducts
relations with other countries.
“We are all bracing for what may
be coming and condemn WikiLeaks

minister David Cameron’s
for the release of classified material,”
he said. “It will place lives and inter-
ests at risk. It is irresponsible.”
The Obama administration on
Friday warned that the WikiLeaks
release would endanger “lives and
interests.”
Italy’s foreign minister, Franco
Frattini, said he spoke Friday with
the U.S. State Department, which
told him that there would be docu-
ments regarding Italy in the leak,
“but the content can’t be anticipated.”
“We’re talking about thousands
and thousands of classified docu-
ments that the U.S. will not comment
on, as is their custom,” Frattini said.
The governments of Canada and
Norway also said they had been
briefed by U.S. officials. Israel’s
Foreign Ministry declined to com-
ment on a report that it, too, had been
informed.
In Iraq, U.S. Ambassador James F.
Jeffrey told reporters that the leaks
represent a serious obstacle to inter-
national diplomacy.
“We are worried about additional
documents coming out,” he said.
“WikiLeaks are an absolutely awful
impediment to my business, which is
to be able to have discussions in con-
fidence with people.”
