celebrity stylist Robert Verdi.
“A stretch waistband is totally taboo

on the back of the waistband, stretching
from hip to hip around the rear but not
on the front, Verdi says. “You never get
that visual of being bunched up,” he
says.
And, pair any sort of loose, unstruc-
tured pant with a more fitted top, per-
haps a lean tunic or a button-down shirt
— but make sure it’s untucked. “The
big headline is to keep the elastic waist
a secret,” Verdi says.
Cernek also points to a drawstring-
waist pant as a viable alternative to
elastic. Somehow a drawstring doesn’t
have the same stigma.
She still suggests staying away from
any pants that balloon at the ankle.
Hug-the-body leggings — typically
with a flattering, yet still stretchy
waistband — are a widely accepted
option, although there are some clear
pros and cons to that look, especially
after one has gobbled turkey and trim-
mings. “Leggings can be as polarizing
as politics,” she says.
Verdi says a textured fabric, maybe
velvet, corduroy or perhaps a heathered
mimic jeans, down to the five pockets,

“It’s the perfect marriage of style and
comfort,” says Sonia Makurdsik, mar-
keting consultant for Hampton Direct.
“There always are the jeans you’ve had
for 10 years and they’re the go-to jeans
no matter what because they’re so com-
fortable because they’ve been washed
so much. We’ve done that for you.”
The pants will expand as needed, she
says. “There are no constraining zip-
pers, no digging buttons ... and they
hold their shape, and you can roll them
up into a suitcase.”
Cernek, however, says comfortable
pants have long been the domain of
someone who doesn’t go farther than
the couch. But, she allows, that could
change this season with the many more
fashion-conscious options.
If you do go that route, instead of
calling the waistbands “elastic,” call
them “elasticated,” Cernek suggests
with a laugh. “‘Elastic’ has this mom-
jeans connotation. ‘Elasticized’ is a
more active, high-end option.”

A man accused of organizing the carjacking

Court reinstates parole for man who killed boss
An Oakland man who stabbed his boss to death during a
financial dispute 25 years ago could soon be out of prison
after a federal appeals court reinstated his parole. Ron
Mosley has been serving a 15-years-to-life sentence since
pleading guilty to second-degree murder in the 1985 death of
Edward Wallace. Mosley, then 19, killed Wallace for refusing
to pay him $60 for yard work, authorities said, adding he later
returned with a friend to burglarize the home. The state
parole board granted Mosley parole in 2005, but Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger ultimately denied it, citing the heinous
nature of the crime and Mosley’s prison disciplinary record.

when sentenced Jan. 25. She must also
pay full restitution.
In comparison, she could have faced
approximately nine years in prison if con-
victed of all the original charges by a jury.
The settlement is “good” for the facts of
the case, said Chief Deputy District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Picon has been free from custody on
$50,000 bail. According to prosecutors,
in October 2005 Picon represented herself
as a “Christian Latina lawyer” to a
woman and her family who had pooled
their resources to hire an attorney for their
brother’s upcoming parole hearing. They
told authorities Picon offered a business
card with “attorney at law” printed on it
and over the course of a year took more
than $7,500 in cash and checks from
them. Picon also allegedly ate for free at
the woman’s restaurant and visited her
home on three occasions.
Yet, the imprisoned brother claimed
Picon never visited him and “had done
nothing,” according to prosecutors.
The woman contacted authorities after
she said Picon ignored several attempts to
reach her and a check with the state bar
showed she was not an attorney.
The case against Picon came a year
before the retention of her son’s heart set
off headlines, a lawsuit and some legisla-
tive efforts to regulate whether a coroner’s
office can keep organs and tissues from a
deceased individual without consent from
next of kin.
Nicholas Picon, 23, died in October
2006 of a cardiac dysrhythmia. On Nov.
13, 2006, Picon learned that, after her
son’s autopsy, his heart was kept with the
intention of forwarding it to Stanford
University because of a congenital heart
defect. Coroner Robert Foucrault
returned the heart to Picon in a wooden
box and later amended the local office’s
rules to require next of kin notification
and consent for organ and tissue reten-
tion. However, in May 2007, Picon filed a
clam with the county and, a year after her
son’s death, the lawsuit which was dis-
missed in May of this year.

California,” Yee said in a statement.
Erickson, the measure’s backer, is the
former chairman of the Sonoma County
Republican Party, a lawyer and military
chaplain who is currently writing a book
about the tea party. He moved to Belmont
within the past year.
Erickson is attracted to the tea party
because it crosses party lines and calls for
a responsive government.
His ballot initiative is not “racist,” he
said.
“Our initiative explicitly states racial
profiling cannot be used to implement the
law,” Erickson said. “It is a slap in the
face to law enforcement to say they can
not implement the law without profiling.”
State Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, said it is the federal government’s
role to protect the country’s borders and
enforce immigration laws.
“I don’t believe law enforcement is
supportive of this,” Hill said. “Local
police should not be burdened with this.”
The measure is meant to protect the
“People hurt most by illegal immigra-
tion are the Hispanic community. They
take the brunt of drug- and gang-related
violence in their communities,” Erickson
said.
Not all illegals are criminals, Erickson
said, but they are taken advantage of and
forced to be drug mules, for instance.
Erickson calls the Support Federal
Immigration Law a “pro-immigrant” ini-
tiative.
He also calls the small-business owner
who rely on undocumented workers as
being analogous to plantation owners
during slave days.
“Millions are living perpetually outside
of the law,” Erickson said. “It is time to
end rent-a-slave labor.”
Hill said he does not believe the meas-
ure is constitutional and Yee said the ini-
tiative will face a fierce fight.
“If this initiative qualifies for the bal-
lot, we will fight to ensure that the people
of California vote it down and send a
very clear message that such bigoted
policies are unacceptable in our state,”
Yee said in the statement.
Erickson’s proposition would outlaw
sanctuary city policies, such as San
Francisco’s, and allow residents to sue
$5,000 a day if their policies restrict the
enforcement of federal immigration laws.
It also would require all employers in
the state to use E-Verify, which checks
the eligibility of workers through a feder-
al database.
The Support Our Law Enforcement
and Safe Neighborhoods Act, or Arizona
Senate Bill 1070, is one of the broadest
and strictest anti-illegal immigration
measure passed in any state in decades.
President Barack Obama quickly con-
demned the law and made it clear that
checking the immigration status of any
individual is a job meant for federal offi-
cials.
The Arizona law is currently being
argued in federal court.
Erickson said his measure should sur-
vive any tests in court.
Erickson is not sure how many illegal
aliens are in the state of California. It
could range from 2 million to 8 million
people, he said.
“It is a very migrant population,” said
Erickson, whose father and brother are
both police officers.
“This will give law enforcement tools
to keep everybody safe,” he said.

Citrus crop survives
chilly Thanksgiving
By Marcus Wohlsen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — California’s citrus
crop escaped serious damage Thursday as the
state faced an onslaught of cold weather over
the Thanksgiving long weekend that may have
contributed to the death of a toddler.
Subfreezing temperatures failed to fall far
enough to damage crops worth billions of dol-
lars in the state’s Central Valley citrus belt,
California Citrus Mutual president Joel
Nielsen said.
Clouds that rolled in after midnight raised
temperatures 2 to 3 degrees, warding off a
potentially devastating frost, he said.
Citrus damage can occur when tempera-
tures fall to 28 degrees for four hours or
longer. Some areas saw 27-degree tempera-
tures Wednesday night but for no longer than
an hour, Nielsen said.
A freeze warning remained in effect
through Friday morning. The National
Weather Service predicted temperatures could
fall as low as 25 degrees in rural areas.
The cold weather stretched to inland
Southern California, where temperatures were
predicted to fall below freezing Thanksgiving
night.

The stepmother got out of the Bear River

north-central part of the state.
In northern Los Angeles County, the small
community of Sandberg saw a record of 24
degrees, while Palmdale set a new record at 21
degrees. Earlier Thursday, freezing tempera-
tures in the area caused a section of track in
Acton to crack, causing hours of delays for a
Metrolink commuter train.
On the Central Coast, the 30 degrees
recorded in Santa Maria beat a 32-degree
record set in 1980.
The wintry weather sent ski resorts in the
Lake Tahoe area scrambling to open their
slopes to take advantage of one of the biggest
early snowfalls in years. Up to 9 feet of snow
has fallen on the region.

Nothing like Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

By Karen Matthews
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A high-kicking
Kung Fu Panda and a diary-toting
Wimpy Kid joined the giant balloon
lineup as the Macy’s Thanksgiving
Day Parade unfolded Thursday,
drawing tens of thousands of spec-
tators to the annual extravaganza on
a chilly, overcast morning.
Emily Rowlinson, a tourist from
London, squealed and snapped pic-
tures with her cell phone as the mas-
sive Smurf balloon floated by a
packed sidewalk along the route.
“We don’t have anything like this
in England,” she exclaimed. “We
have parades. We don’t have any
sort of huge, floating beasts. It’s
very cool.”
As millions more watched the live
broadcast on television, revelers
gathered nationwide for other
parades in cities such as Detroit,
Chicago and Philadelphia. The
parades headline observances
across the nation that also feature
football and family dinners with too
much food on the table.
In his weekly radio and Internet
address, President Barack Obama
called on Americans to help each
other through tough times.
“This is not the hardest
Thanksgiving America has ever
faced,” Obama said. “But as long as
many members of our American
family are hurting, we’ve got to
look out for one another.”
He later telephoned ten U.S. ser-
vicemen and women stationed
around the world to thank them for
their service and sacrifice. He
wished them and their families a
happy Thanksgiving, before joining
his own for the holiday.
The Macy’s parade featured an
eclectic lineup of entertainers
including Kanye West, Gladys
Knight and Colombian rocker
Juanes. The Broadway casts of
“American Idiot” and “Elf” per-
formed, along with marching bands
from across the United States.
Perched on her father’s shoulders,
16-month-old Stella Laracque wrig-
gled and danced with excitement as
SpongeBob SquarePants, Hello
Kitty, Shrek and other beloved fig-
ures wafted past her.
“She doesn’t really know the
characters, but she’s loving it,” said
her father, Mike Laracque of
Manhattan.
Another new balloon was Virginia
O’Hanlon, the 8-year-old girl
whose letter to the editor elicited the
response, “Yes, Virginia, there is a
Santa Claus.”
Santa Claus closed the parade as
always. A cheer erupted as he
passed by on his sleigh, shaking his
enormous belly.
Returning balloons included
Pillsbury Doughboy and Spider-
Man — the last with a new fan in
Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He said
in a CBS interview that he had tra-
ditionally favored Snoopy, but after
the Marvel Entertainment character
was involved in a recent event pro-
moting city services for job-seekers,
“Spidey is my new favorite.”
Surveying the scene with four of
her relatives, Emily Hine confessed
that she’d initially been loath to
come from Boyertown, Pa., about
100 miles southwest of Manhattan.
“I was dreading the crowds, but
I’m enjoying it more than I antici-
pated,” she said, adding that the bal-
loons are bigger than she’d imag-
ined from watching previous years’
The Smurf balloon floats through Times Square during the 84th Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day parade in New York Thursday.
parades on TV. “It’s more up-close
and personal.”
Other celebrities at the parade
included India Arie, Jessica
Simpson, Kylie Minogue, Keri
Hilson, Arlo Guthrie and Miranda
Cosgrove.
Standing on a stepladder her fam-
ily had brought from Mamaroneck,
a New York City suburb, 9-year-old
Melissa Machado was thrilled to
spot Victoria Justice, the star of
Nickelodeon’s “Victorious.”
“She’s a famous person, and I
always see her shows,” Melissa
explained after the actress-singer
passed by on the Build-A-Bear
Workshop float.
The Macy’s parade started in
1924 when employees from the
REUTERS
department store marched in cos-
tume from Harlem to Macy’s flag-
ship store on 34th Street. The
parade was suspended from 1942 to
1944 because rubber and helium
were needed for World War II, mak-
ing Thursday’s parade the 84th.
The parade followed the route it
inaugurated last year, starting on
Central Park West and proceeding
down Seventh and Sixth avenues to
34th Street. The route had to be
changed when vehicles were
banned from parts of Broadway.
Workers had removed street lights
and traffic lights to make way for
the massive balloons and were
standing by to replace the equip-
ment.
“As soon as Santa Claus drives
by, the poles go back up,” said Tom
Carola, a worker with an electrical-
contracting company hired by the
city.
In Detroit, a morning drizzle and
chilly temperatures weren’t enough
to keep John and Matt Fisher from
attending that city’s parade.
The father and son from
Hamtramck, Mich., had their RV set
up a day ahead of time and by
Thursday morning had a prime spot
for watching it — equipped with
coffee, hot cocoa, soup and chili
dogs.
“Got to see Santa,” said John
Fisher, 53. “If we don’t see Santa,
we’re not sure he’s gonna bring
presents.”
A block away, a German
exchange student was watching his
first Thanksgiving parade.
“This is great,” said Jonah Boyd,
16, of Hamburg, who didn’t know
much about the American holiday
before arriving in South Lyon,
Mich., where he is staying with a
host family. “All I knew was that
people ate turkey.”
Before the parade, Boyd, his girl-
friend and her family watched thou-
sands of runners take part in the
annual Turkey Trot race. A similar
race in Buffalo, N.Y., attracted more
than 12,000 entrants, the most ever
in the event’s 115-year-history,
organizers said.
Many participants in Detroit wore
costumes: One ran in a Santa suit,
complete with sack. An elf was
spotted as well. Others were wear-
ing Halloween-type outfits, includ-
ing runners dressed as Iron Man and
Captain America.
Perhaps the most appropriate
attire belonged to the two Turkey
Trotters wearing turkey hats.

Sales bring shoppers, grumbles

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Not all Americans
tucked into turkey with their families on
Thanksgiving. Some were out shop-
ping, hitting sales ahead of the crowds
expected Friday.
After a year of cautious spending and
worry over an uncertain economy and
high unemployment, more stores this
year extended hours into Thanksgiving
Day, a day when stores are traditionally
closed.
Many grumble about the relentless
march of commercialism creeping into
the holiday. But at least some shoppers
took the bait.
While crowds appeared relatively
light compared with the weekend
ahead, the extended hours drew in over-
seas visitors, those who have to work
Friday and some who couldn’t resist a
good deal.
Sears, Kmart and some Sports
Authority, Gap, Old Navy and Banana
Republic stores were among those open
Thursday.

Sarah Palin: Serious 2012 contender or pretender?
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DES MOINES, Iowa — Sarah
Palin, the telegenic Republican who
exasperates and delights voters

more hints of a presidential bid,
including a visit Saturday to the key
state of Iowa.
The official purpose of her trip to

U.S. surrenders e-mails
on Gulf oil leak estimates
By Ted Bridis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Obama
administration on Wednesday
defended the integrity of estimates
that for months were inaccurate in
showing how much oil spilled in the
Gulf of Mexico, disclosing thou-
sands of pages of internal e-mails
written by government scientists on
the project. “It is a guess,” a senior
U.S. scientist acknowledged to his
colleagues.
The behind-the-scenes e-mails
hint at uncertainties in what the gov-

even as its scientists wrestled over
how to measure oil leaking from a

Caminar has been saving lives in San Mateo County for over 40 years.
Where Renee has been and where she is at today
are so far apart it wouldn’t be fair – or possible –
to measure her progress in steps.
Renee was an abused child and a young teen raising her younger
siblings; she was a daughter whose mother was murdered, a teen
mother, and a drug addict who attempted numerous suicides.
How she became a home owner, matriarch of a healthy family
and longtime San Mateo County employee is as simple as her
earlier life was complicated.
Someone cared enough to listen and help. That help brought
hope- triggering a chain of life-saving events. Renee credits
much of her current success to Caminar, a non-profit agency
whose programs provide residential treatment, case management,
supported employment and education, a medication clinic and
permanent housing to adults with severe mental illness in San
Mateo County. Caminar’s services help lead disabled individuals
to independent – rather than dependent - living.
After a chaotic youth, her early adult years were haunted
with memories of her past. She went from college-going wife
and mother to 2 years of drug-dependency and 4 years of
homelessness.
Suicide attempts were varied and numerous. She tried to
overdose with Ibuprofen and alcohol; slit her wrists; stood at a
bridge’s edge until she changed her mind. She drove toward a
cliff near Hwy 280 before deciding to stay on the road and go
straight to a local hospital.
“I didn’t know what was wrong with me. I just wanted to die,”
Renee said. “For 4 years I fell through the cracks. On December
26, 2000 my life changed- I was asked what was wrong. No one
ever asked or listened to me before. Caminar started helping me
and things started falling into place.”
With the advice of her mental health treatment team, two years
later Renee returned to school. She called Disabled Student
Services at College of San Mateo. “They said they’d be waiting
for me in the parking lot.” It was then Renee was introduced to
Caminar’s Supported Education Program and began attending
classes. “It was tough at first and I was doubtful,” Renee said.
“I was 42. Then one day I realized I was supposed to be here.”

and recommended Peer Counseling classes. Renee was excited
at the new courses and completed the program in a year. She
was then hired by and joined the Caminar team as a Job Coach
in their Jobs Plus program. To her role as a Jobs Plus coach, she
also added part-time work with Caminar’s REACH (Recovery,
Empowerment, and Community Housing) program.
Renee, through her employment, was now providing the type
of support she had once received; helping individuals, with
stories familiar to her own, to gain and maintain meaningful
employment, stable housing and independence.
“I had the most difficult clients,” Renee said. “I said bring it on.
It let me know I can accomplish things. I have a caring spirit.

Four years ago, Renee took the Civil Service exam, scored
100% and was one of 16 out of 300 candidates for a job as
a Community Worker Consumer Provider with San Mateo

accomplished.
“The disadvantaged need someone who is nonjudgmental,”
Renee said. “I know what it’s like. I knew the shame and the
stigma. I look back, it was painful. But with experiences – like
attending Caminar’s Supported Education and working for
Caminar – I am able to help others. Caminar’s team was one of
many to give me courage, hope and determination to claim my

top, signals indicate a

dead ahead.
There are so many things wrong
with plans for a California bullet
train we’ve lost track. Nobody
knows where the money is coming
from, nobody believes the system
will pay its own way, and nobody
likes the secretive, conflict-ridden
“management” of the project.
This is a job for the governator.
But since Arnold
Schwarzenegger is leaving
Sacramento shortly, that leaves
only Jerry Brown, the governor-
elect. There’s no one better posi-
tioned to get this wreckage on the
rails, if that’s even possible.
The question is, what does
Brown really think of this?
Remember, Brown presents himself
as a champion of transparency and
Speed Rail Authority knows where the money really
will come from, they haven’t said.
a penny-pincher. This project is
headed exactly the other way.
We’ve said before that spending
$43 billion on a privately operated
system connecting LA and San
Francisco doesn’t add up, unless
passengers are willing to pay a lot
more than airfare. Even us train
lovers won’t do that very often.
The latest version of the plan
calls for building the system’s first
segment in the Central Valley,
between such places as Merced,
Fresno and Bakersfield. No offense
to those fine places, but that would-
n’t be much of a segment even if
the Central Valley towns weren’t
already served by Amtrak.
The decision was made jointly
by the federal government (the
Railroad Administration) and the
bullet train people (California High
Speed Rail Authority). The federal
government has something to say
about it because it’s kicking in a
couple of billion dollars, and is in a
hurry to create jobs. The logic is
that there’s less controversy about
building the first segment in farm
country than in the original urban
location, between Anaheim and
LA. The problem is, most of the
riders are in urban areas.
That’s not the only flaw in the
logic. If the High Speed Rail
Authority knows where the money
really will come from, they haven’t
said. The state’s voters have
approved $9.95 billion; the hope
was that the federal government
lion. That’s an awful lot of hope,
since Congress is in a mood to cut
rather than spend, local govern-
ment agencies have said they never
promised billions, and private
investors want some kind of return.
One of the project’s most influ-
ential supporters is Sen. Alan
Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, chair-
man of the Senate Transportation
Committee. But even he has voiced
great concern about the project’s
lack of transparency, unrealistic
business plan, roughshod behavior
toward local government, and con-
flicts of interest.
If he has misgivings, what’s a
taxpayer to make of it?
Someone had better start think-
ing about giving this project effec-
tive leadership, or start cutting the
losses, or both.
That sounds like a job for the
governor.

tried and failed to get the
Legislature to make the necessary
reforms. He then tried and failed to
persuade voters to make the needed
changes with ballot measures.
Now, seven years later, the struc-
tural deficit is no longer merely a
problem - it is a disaster, made
even worse by a flagging economy.
California faces a $25 billion budg-
et shortfall, $6 billion for the cur-
rent fiscal year and another $19 bil-
lion for fiscal 2011-12.
Schwarzenegger has called a spe-
cial session of the Legislature to
elect Jerry Brown to handle.
The Legislative Analyst’s Office,
which should be heeded more often
by our lawmakers, warns that the
state is not likely to receive the
budgeted $3.5 billion from the fed-
eral government. Also, passage of
Proposition 22 will prevent the
state from using about $800 mil-
lion in temporary funding shifts to
help close this year’s budget gap.
As a result, the Legislature and
governor are going to have to make
some tough choices this year on
spending and taxes. That will be
difficult enough, but a much larger
challenge will face the Brown
administration and Legislature next
year and several years after that.
The LAO says that the $19 bil-
lion hole in the 2011-12 budget is
not a one-time problem. It forecasts
term budget problem, lawmakers
should follow the LAO’s recom-
mendations, starting with the
implementation of a two-year
budget cycle and multiyear plan-
ning to finally end recurring struc-
tural budget deficits.
The LAO understands that it will
take several years to fix
California’s budget woes and sug-
gests solving the problem in stages
over the next few years.
What the LAO does not say is
where to cut spending or raise rev-
enues. But it is clear that both will
be needed in substantial amounts if
California is ever to operate in a
fiscally sound manner.
While an improved economy is
essential to providing adequate rev-
enues to meet the state’s public
needs, recovery is expected to be
taken now and over the next few
years.
Major cutbacks in public
employee compensation are need-
ed, reductions in social services
will be necessary and prison costs
must be substantially reduced.
But cost-cutting alone will not
solve the budget mess. New rev-
enues will also be needed. As the
economy recovers, perhaps taxes
can be reduced and spending levels
increased. But neither should occur
until the state has established a
large reserve fund and a more sta-
ble budgeting system.
Most other states have been able
to meet their needs even in tough
economic times with sensible fiscal
policies. There’s no good reason
why California can’t also succeed.

Letters to the editor Production Manager

TSA should be
keeping America safe
Editor,
Had you told me one year ago
that the U.S. government would be
sexually assaulting innocent people
in the name of security, I would
have said that there is no way the
enemy could trick us into that.
Considering you a suspect or crim-
inal, violates the U.S. constitution.
It is obvious the TSA solutions
are not working. The TSA has been
deluged with complaints over intru-
sive “pat downs” and revealing air-
port scans. What the hell is being
allowed to happen to the American
people? That we would allow our
own government to abuse our chil-
dren, our wives and mothers is out-
rageous. Something has gone terri-
bly wrong. If anyone other than the
federal government was acting in
such a manner it would be a crime.
The government cannot waive our
constitutional rights. There will be
lawsuits. It is more than the federal
government betting Americans
would rather fly than be untouched.
They aren’t really trying to strike a
balance between privacy and secu-
rity, so what is really going on?
The TSA has simply given up,
they cannot do their jobs. They
should be able to keep us safe and
not violate our constitutional rights.
But they have chosen to make us
the real enemy while the govern-
ment has given Islamo-fascist con-
stitutional rights.
The TSA seems just as tone-deaf
as the rest of the Obama adminis-
tration. It is said generals always
fight the last war, which means
they copy what was successful for
them the last time. The TSA is
doing the same thing, they are just
being reactive. El Al airline has
been very successful in deterring
terrorist for the past 30 years.
Israeli airline security offered to
assist the Obama administration.
Their system is based on profiling
behavior not people. They have had
zero terrorist events on El Al air-
craft in over 30 years. The TSA on
the other hand, has been able to
catch exactly zero terrorists using
their invasive methods.
Islamo-fascist study what we do.
They see the damage they are caus-
ing us. Our own government is
unaware they are aiding them in
our destruction. Benjamin Franklin
said “those who would sacrifice
liberty for security deserve nei-
ther”. The American people need to
stand up against the terrorists not
the TSA. Americans are not the
criminals, we are not the enemy.
Our government is taking our
rights and giving terrorists constitu-
tional rights. The United States
needs to stop profiling things like
shoes and underwear and start pro-
filing behavior; because our ene-
mies are profiling us.
The TSA should be replaced by a
private security company that can
keep us safe and not violate our
rights.

Business brief
Apax to acquire majority
stake in marketing agency
IRVINE — Private equity firm Apax Partners on
Thursday agreed to take a majority stake in Advantage Sales

vides outsourced services to consumer packaged goods
companies.
Financial terms were undisclosed. J.W. Childs Associates
and Bank of America Merrill Lynch are selling their major-

Group to buy Del Monte for $4B
By Mae Anderson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Del Monte Foods
Co. on Thursday agreed to be bought for
$4 billion in cash by a group of investors
that includes its former owner in what
would be the biggest private equity deal
of the year.
An investor group led by Kohlberg
Kravis Roberts & Co. — which briefly
owned Del Monte — Vestar Capital
Partners and Centerview Partners agreed
to buy the food maker for $19 per share.
They will also assume $1.3 billion in
debt.
The purchase price is a 6 percent pre-
mium to the stock’s closing price on
Wednesday, though the stock has soared
recently on published reports about a
possible buyout. The stock is up 59 per-
cent since the beginning of the year,
including a 12 percent jump on Nov. 18
when rumors of the deal surfaced.
Del Monte, based in San Francisco, is
the owner of several well-known pet-
food brands, including Kibbles ’n Bits,
Meow Mix and Milk-Bone. It also has
food brands under the Del Monte,
Contadina, College Inn and S&W
names.
The private equity firms in the deal
have a long history with food makers.
KKR has bought food and beverage
companies such as Beatrice Cos., RJR
Nabisco and Borden Foods. It acquired
Del Monte as part of its $25.1 billion
leveraged buyout of Nabisco in 1989,
and then sold Del Monte soon afterward.
And Centerview’s co-founder, Jim Kilts,
is a former CEO of Kraft.
It is also the second pet-food deal of
the year for KKR, which acquired
British pet retailer Pets At Home in
January.
After a lull during the recession, more
private equity deals are springing up. At
$4 billion, the Del Monte deal is the
largest private equity acquisition of the
year, ahead of Extended Stay Inc., which
agreed to be bought in May for $3.92
billion.
Consumer goods companies have
been popular targets lately, which could
mean that private equity firms are feel-
ing increasingly confident that con-
sumers are likely to start spending more
and keep it up.
On Friday, clothing seller J. Crew
Group Inc. agreed to be taken private for
$3 billion by TPG Capital and Leonard
Green & Partners. And Burger King
Holdings agreed to be taken private for
$3.26 billion in September.
Del Monte CEO Richard Wolford said
the deal “delivers substantial sharehold-
er value and is a clear endorsement of
Del Monte’s strategic success and effec-
tive execution.”
In its last fiscal year, which ended in
May, Del Monte Foods’ profit climbed
almost 42 percent while revenue rose 3
percent to $3.74 billion. But in
September, Del Monte said its fiscal
first-quarter revenue softened on weak-
ness in the consumer business and the
company trimmed its expectations for
revenue growth this year.

Merkel,Sarkozy want quick bailout for Ireland

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BERLIN — The 16-nation euro cur-
rency will survive the debt crisis,
German Chancellor Angela Merkel
vowed Thursday, and a senior central
banker said the European Union would
be willing to increase its 750 billion ($1
trillion) bailout fund if necessary.
Merkel and French President Nicolas
Sarkozy also called for a swift conclu-
sion of the negotiations for an Irish
bailout.
Axel Weber, the head of Germany’s
central bank and a leading rate-setter at
the European Central Bank, said
Thursday that European nations would
be willing to boost the emergency fund
by as much as 100 billion ($133 billion)
to fully cover the total public debt load
of Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain.
But when Merkel and Sarkozy dis-
cussed the eurozone’s troubles on the
phone Thursday evening they said the
750 billion emergency fund for the euro
would remain unchanged until it
expires in 2013, German government
spokesman Steffen Seibert said in a
statement.
The leaders of Germany and France,
the eurozone’s twin economic engines,
said their governments are working
“under high pressure on a joint propos-
al for a crisis mechanism that is to
replace the current one beyond 2013,”
the statement said.
Merkel and Sarkozy were impressed
by the austerity budget presented by the
Irish government, adding they agreed
that the negotiations involving the Irish
government, the EU and the
International Monetary Fund “should
swiftly be brought to a conclusion,”
Seibert said.
Amid the ongoing sovereign debt cri-
sis in the eurozone, the 16-nation cur-
rency wallowed near two-month lows
against the dollar Thursday, trading at
$1.3364 — down from a recent high of
$1.4244 on Nov. 4. Some analysts pre-
dicted it would drop further as other
heavily indebted countries, like
Portugal and Spain, risk following
Greece and Ireland in needing massive
bailouts.
But Merkel said the euro currency
will survive the debt crisis.

Prosecutor making mark with Wall Street crackdown

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Preet Bharara was a
newly appointed U.S. attorney when he
added his own twist to a signature
Hollywood line to put Wall Street on
notice.
“Sometimes,” he said in touting a
massive securities case, “greed is not
good.”
A year later, Bharara hasn’t let up in
his pursuit of real-life Gordon Gekkos.
Making broad use of wiretaps — rou-
tine in mob and drug cases, but ground-
breaking in white-collar probes — the
Manhattan prosecutor has widened an
investigation of hedge funds and other
financial institutions suspected of insid-
er trading.
The latest arrest came Wednesday, the
same day a judge rejected a defense
challenge to the wiretap tactic.
Amid the crackdown, the 42-year-old
Bharara has displayed a trademark
tenacity tempered by a humility — a
combination that’s won admirers inside
and outside the nation’s largest U.S.
attorney’s office.
“I think he really does appreciate the
power of the office and he’s not going to
waste it,” said Eric Snyder, who has
worked at a Washington law firm since
leaving the New York office in June.
“There’s outrage out there. He repre-
sents the people and he’s going to react
to what people are outraged by.”
Born in Ferozepur, India, Bharara
immigrated with his parents to the
United States in 1970 as an infant. He
spent his childhood in Monmouth
County, N.J., and came away a fan of
local hero Bruce Springsteen.
He graduated from Harvard in 1990
and Columbia Law School in 1993, and
worked in private practice until 2000,
when he became an assistant U.S. attor-
ney in Manhattan. Five years later, he
became U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer’s
chief counsel, helping to lead the inves-
tigation into the firings of nine U.S.
attorneys under President George W.
Bush.
Bill Burck, a former federal prosecu-
tor himself in Manhattan who worked as
Bush’s deputy White House counsel
while Bharara was investigating the fir-
ings of prosecutors, said Bharara
“comes across as extremely profession-
al and apolitical. He’s viewed by
Republicans as a very fair-minded guy
who is not motivated by partisanship.”
Burck said Bharara’s likability stems
partly from his sharp wit.

Sharp holiday price drops seen for flat-panel TVs

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — If you’re in the market for
a new flat-panel TV, it’s a good time to
buy.
TV prices usually drop from year to
year, and the decline will be sharp this sea-
son thanks to a supply glut. Consumers
have been holding out all year for better
deals, leaving lots of unsold televisions on
the shelves. Prices for high-definition LCD
TVs will fall more than twice as fast as
they have so far this year as manufacturers
and retailers clear out inventory, analysts
predict.
New sets will also be cheaper because
TV makers have been getting great deals
on the most expensive parts, the glass LCD
panels.
However, DisplaySearch analyst Paul
Gagnon expects prices for those compo-
nents to level off early next year, so dis-
counts won’t be this steep again until the
holidays next year, or even later.
For the consumer, that means that if you
pull the trigger on a new set in the next few
months, you probably won’t be kicking
yourself next year for not waiting a little
longer.
The law of supply and demand is at
work here:
• A TV-buying spree in late 2009 led to
component shortages, which kept prices
high in early 2010. That discouraged con-
sumers.
• Makers of LCD panels invested prof-
its from last year’s buying spree in more
manufacturing capacity. Thinking 2010
would be as strong as 2009, they flooded
the market. But the economy didn’t
improve as expected.
• As a result, there’s an oversupply of
panels, and prices started dropping over
the summer. That means cheaper sets
should be making their way to stores now.
Already, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has
slashed prices for some older models.
Among the deals: a 32-inch Vizio set that
went to $298 from $348. Amazon.com
Inc. and Best Buy Co. are starting to adver-
tise deals, too.
Some of the best deals this season will
be on 32-inch LCD TVs, the most popular
size. They will sell for rock-bottom rates of
$300 or less, compared with about $400
last year. That’s because manufacturers are
selling raw panels of that size for only
slightly more than the cost of making them
— $160 to $170 each, far less than the
$210 to $220 they fetched earlier this year.

Stanford keeps focus on Oregon State

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STANFORD — As much as some
of the games on Friday will have an
impact on what bowl Stanford goes
to at the end of the season, the
Cardinal are keeping their focus on
Saturday’s regular season finale
against Oregon State.
The seventh-ranked Cardinal (10-
1, 7-1 Pac-10) are clearly one of the
top teams in the country but will
need some serious help if they hope
to make it to a high-profile Bowl
Championship Series game.
As much as an Auburn loss, an
Oregon win, or a Boise State loss on
Friday may help Stanford, the play-
ers know none of it matters if they
don’t take care of business against
the Beavers (5-5, 4-3) the following
day.

State and worried about the task at hand.”
Typically a top 10 ranking and a one-loss
season would put a Pac-10 team in prime posi-
tion for a berth in the Rose Bowl or another
BCS game. That’s not the case for the
Cardinal this year, in part because they lost
52-31 at No. 1 Oregon in October.
So the Cardinal could end up winning 11
games and playing in the Alamo Bowl against
a third-choice Big 12 team instead of one of
the marquee games.
“The BCS, no matter what you say about it,
it’s an arbitrary thing,” coach Jim Harbaugh
said. “The thing we have to do is prepare and
be ready to be competitive and find a way to
beat Oregon State. That’s what’s important
now.”
For Stanford to win the conference outright
and earn the Rose Bowl bid, the Ducks would
need to lose their final two games to No. 20
Arizona on Friday and at rival Oregon State
the following week and the Cardinal would
need to win Saturday.
With it looking unlikely that Oregon will
lose its final two games, Stanford’s path to
Pasadena is murky even though the Cardinal
could set a school record for wins in a season
by beating the Beavers on Saturday.
The Rose Bowl is obligated to take a team
from a non-automatic BCS qualifying confer-
ence if one is eligible and not playing in the
title game. So the Cardinal will need No. 3

likely take those teams out of BCS contention.

going to find the guy that’s open, and he’s

Brady had plenty of help with Welker and
Branch through the air and BenJarvus Green-
Ellis on the ground.
Green-Ellis ran for two TDs, matching a
career high. His second one capped the scor-
ing with 3:14 left and led to several pushing
and shoving matches with the frustrated
Lions.

two interceptions to rookie cornerback Devin

Friday night in their toughest remaining test.
The Horned Frogs close the season Saturday
at one-win New Mexico so that may be a dif-
ficult route to the BCS as well.
With Stanford lacking a large alumni base
and big national following, the other BCS
bowls might shy away from taking a team that
struggles even to sell tickets for home games
if they want a sold-out stadium.
“We’ve had a spectacular season so far,”
defensive lineman Sione Fua said. “We’ve
done things that no other Stanford team has
done. In that sense it’s been a success. Yeah, it
would be sad if we’re the number five or six
team in the country and don’t go to a BCS
game. But I think it’s been a success.”
Stanford could also get the bid if No. 2
Auburn lost to No. 9 Alabama in the Iron
Bowl or No. 18 South Carolina in the SEC
title game, and either Boise State or TCU
moved ahead of the Tigers into the top two.
That would give the Rose Bowl the option
to take the Cardinal. If Boise State and TCU
both finish in the top 12 of the BCS standings,
the Rose Bowl could still select one of those
teams to fulfill its obligation of taking a non-
automatic qualifier, but the ties to the Pac-10
may be strong enough to get Stanford a bid.
The Cardinal also could be assured a spot in
the BCS by finishing in the top four of the
final BCS standings, which would be helped
by LSU losing at Arkansas on Saturday.
“We’ll definitely be mildly interested in the
games,” quarterback Andrew Luck said. “It’s
hard not to be when you play college football
and another team as prominent as Auburn,
Oregon or Boise State is on TV. We know we
can’t control what happens outside of us play-
ing on Saturday so we’re taking that
approach.”

formation — commonly called a “scrum,”
which features two wing backs and a tailback.
It relies on deception and technical blocking
schemes, but when done correctly, can be very
difficult to stop until it’s too late.
When the Cougars defense is one the field,
it needs to avoid giving up the big play and
force the Padres to put eight, nine, 10-play
drives together themselves.
But Ballard said the Padres are built to beat
you in both ways, which puts a lot of pressure
on the defense.
“You can’t just sit back and stop the deep
pass … and you can’t stack the box to stop the
run,” Ballard said. “You have to consistently
not show them the same thing. Break their
rhythm.”
Both offenses are fairly prolific. Half Moon
Bay averaged nearly 37 points a game. Carmel
did the Cougars 10 points better this season.
Defensively, Half Moon Bay gave up less
than 20 points per contest. Once again,
Carmel — on paper — has the advantage,

the infamous crash that started it all, and Woods

peacefully at
Mills Peninsula
Hospital mid day
on Thursday No-
vember 18th 2010 with her husband Edward at
her side. We extend our deepest gratitude to
the nursing staff of Mills Peninsula Hospital,
our mother wanted for nothing in their care.
Our beloved mother spent her last 3 weeks be-

Jessie Marie Schuler was born on Febru-
ary 3, 1931 in Vidalia, Louisiana, to William

of the 1948 class of Brumfield High School in
Natchez Mississippi.
She worked for San Mateo Unified School
District for 25 years before retiring in 1992. The
years at San Mateo High School were very im-
portant to our mother. She would meet her hus-
band Edward Schuler at San Mateo High. She
worked in the Title 1 program and English as a
Second Language program (ESL). The students
were all fond of “Mrs Lee in Room 4” and her
very special smile.
Our mother loved to cook. While cooking she
would often sing spirituals. She cherished her

The two teams even have two common
opponents. Carmel and Half Moon Bay both
played Menlo School and Greenfield, going 1-
1 in the process.
The common win over Greenfield were both
blowouts — but Half Moon Bay’s 48-3 win
over the Bruins might give the Cougars more
of a mental edge. Greenfield finished one
game behind Carmel in the Mission Trail
Athletic League standings and the Cougars
handled the Bruins with relative ease. While
Half Moon Bay may not have the quick-strike
capabilities like Menlo has — which basically
out-scored Carmel 34-29 back on Sept. 11 —
the Cougars do have more weapons than
Greenfield, which scored 23 against Carmel
— which gave up 23 points or more only
twice times during the regular season.
Ballard said no one on is rushing to the
Internet to research Carmel, looking at com-
mon opponents and scoring differentials.
They’re focused on what they do and what it
will take to beat Carmel.
“Why waste energy on that?” Ballard asked.
“These kids, they see what’s at stake and they
see where they put themselves. … This is a
once-in-a-high-school-career chance.”
The last time Half Moon Bay advanced to a
CCS semifinal was 2005 — when the Cougars
won the championship.
“He’s not going to be in any deal until he
looks the company in the eye and has a serious
conversation with them. ’How are you going
to live your life? We want to be part of the
redemption, rehabilitation. Are you serious
about that?’ And he knows that. He’s comfort-
able with it. And he’s going to do that.”
He has already started. Woods is tweeting

Saints rally to beat Cowboys in thriller
By Jamie Aron
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARLINGTON, Texas — As Roy
Williams ran toward the end zone,
he realized the importance of his
breakaway catch-and-run. Just hold
onto it, he thought, and the Dallas
Cowboys would pull off one of their
greatest Thanksgiving comebacks.
He even switched the ball from one
hand to another to make sure he
kept it from the defender in front of
him.
The guy behind him changed
everything.
Malcolm Jenkins snatched the
ball from Williams at the 11, ripping
it out so forcefully that it wound up
against his own stomach. Drew
Brees then quickly drove 89 yards
for the touchdown that put New
Orleans back ahead 30-27 with 1:55
left Thursday.
But the drama wasn’t done yet.
Having already overcome a pair
of 17-point deficits, the Cowboys
moved close enough for David
Buehler to try a 59-yard field goal
that would’ve tied it. His kick had
plenty of leg, but fluttered just wide
to the left with 25 seconds left. New
Orleans coach Sean Payton started
to call a timeout, which would’ve
given Buehler another chance, but
either Payton didn’t finish the ges-
ture or the officials didn’t see it, so
the play stood, and this wild, wacky,
thriller was finished.
“The play that Malcolm Jenkins
makes late is an effort play, a heart
play and it’s one of those plays that
really inspires everyone on the
team,” Payton said. “It was a gut-
check win.”
And a gut-wrenching loss for
Dallas.
The Cowboys came in 2-0 under
interim coach Jason Garrett, playing
like the Super Bowl contenders they
were supposed to be instead of the
1-7 cupcakes they turned into under
coach Wade Phillips. They made
plenty of Phillips-era mistakes to
fall behind 17-0 in the first quarter
and 20-3 before halftime, then
showed the poise and toughness
Garrett has instilled by fighting
back.
Buehler kicked a 53-yard field
goal as the first half ended, Miles
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Roy E.Williams is stripped of the ball by New Orleans Saints cornerback Malcolm
Jenkins and cornerback Tracy Porter in the second half of their NFL football game in Arlington Sunday.
Austin went 60 yards on an end
around on the second play of the
second half and Dallas was back in
the game. The Cowboys went ahead
27-23 on Tashard Choice’s 1-yard
touchdown run with 5:51 left, then
Williams caught a short pass and
took it 47 yards, following a block
from Miles Austin as he approached
the end zone.
Williams switched the ball from
one hand to another to avoid corner-
back Tracy Porter, knowing the
Cowboys could stretch the lead, kill
some clock or both as long as he
didn’t fumble. Then, Jenkins
grabbed it.
“I lost the ball game,” Williams
said. “I let my teammates down. I
need to fall down. We run the clock
down and win the game. I was try-
ing to make a play and they did a
good job. It’s late in the game.
That’s the nail in the coffin. We had
SPORTS
the momentum going our way. We
were there. That was a W. I get tack-
led, we get in the end zone and we
win. I fall down and we win.”
Jenkins said he chased the play
with only one thought — “get the
ball out.”
“He didn’t see me from the blind
side,” Jenkins said. “A bad play
turned good for us. Not only ripped
it out, it just kind of fell in my stom-
ach.”
The Saints (8-3) won their fourth
straight and fifth in six games. This
was their first time playing on the
holiday, and it’s certainly one their
fans will never forget — especially
the tens of thousands who were
among the crowd of 93,985 at
Cowboys Stadium. They made their
presence felt, and would love to
return the first weekend in February
to watch New Orleans try defending
its Super Bowl title.
REUTERS
Dallas (3-8) lost for the first time
in three games since Garrett became
interim coach. This plucky effort
shows the impact he’s had in such a
short time. But if things had gone
only slightly different, he would’ve
been the face of two of the greatest
Thanksgiving rallies in club history.
In 1994, he made a rare start in
place of an injured Troy Aikman
and took the Cowboys from a 17-3
deficit against Brett Favre and the
Packers to a 42-31 victory.
Instead, this game may go down
with Leon Lett’s snowy gaffe in
1993 as one that got away.
“I think we demonstrated again
what we’ve done the last few weeks
— battle and fight,” Garrett said.
“There were a lot of things to be
proud of. Guys played with a lot of
passion, energy and enthusiasm. ...
But you’ve got to get the bottom
line right. We didn’t get it done.”

Brees took the Saints 80 yards in
four plays on the game’s opening
drive, never even seeing a second
down. After defensive lineman Will
Smith intercepted a screen, Garrett
Hartley kicked a career-best, 50-
yard field goal, then Brees led
another scoring drive. Chris Ivory
ran 3 yards for the first touchdown,
6 yards for the second.
Brees finished 23 of 39 for 352
yards with the winning touchdown
and an interception that almost cost
New Orleans the game. The ball
bounced off the hands of tight end
Jimmy Graham and into the hands
of Dallas safety Gerald Sensabaugh,
leading to Choice’s go-ahead score.
Reggie Bush also would’ve been
a goat had New Orleans lost.
After missing eight games with a
broken leg, Bush let the first pass
thrown his way clang off his shoul-
der pads and helmet. He later
dropped a likely touchdown pass
while leading 20-13, then fumbled
on a punt return to set up the
Cowboys’ touchdown got them to
23-20. Saints fans had been scream-
ing “Reg-gie!” before the punt, then
Dallas fans tauntingly cheered the
same thing both after the fumble
and after the ensuing touchdown.
NOTES: Lost amid everything
else were questionable decisions by
both coaches on whether to punt,
kick field goals or go for it on fourth
down. Garrett made two in the sec-
ond quarter that drew boos.
Considering how it finished, they all
mattered. ... The weirdest play was
early in the fourth quarter. Dallas
punter Mat McBriar dropped the
snap and it bounced right up, so he
kicked it. But once it hit the ground,
it was a fumble, so the touch was
illegal. Yet New Orleans was happy
enough with the outcome to keep
the play, so technically it counted as
a fumble. ... Dallas had won four
straight on Thanksgiving. The
Cowboys fell to 27-15-1 on the hol-
iday. ... New Orleans’ deep snapper,
holder and kicker all come from the
same high school, Southlake
Carroll, which happens to be a short
drive from the stadium, in the sub-
urb Payton used to live when he
worked for the Cowboys. Their
alma mater has a playoff game here

Smart move: Coach gets chance with Warriors
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — Keith Smart seri-
ously considered walking away
from Indiana well before he hit
“The Shot” that won the Hoosiers
the 1987 NCAA title, unsure he
could deal with demanding, fiery
coach Bob Knight.
Turns out, he stuck with it — an
old mentor reminded him he wasn’t
one to quit. Those experiences
under Knight’s critical eye, along
with many other coaches over the
years, went a long way in how
Smart handles his own players
today.
“Rudy Tomjanovich told me,
’Know the pulse of your team,”’
Smart said. “As I kept moving
through with different coaches and
different styles, I started paying
attention to what I was learning
from this coach, good or bad, what
I was learning from that coach,
good or bad.”
Golden State’s first-year coach
walked around the locker room
before training camp this fall ask-
ing for a handshake from each one
of the Warriors, signaling a pact
that they would allow Smart to
coach them and be involved in their
lives. Some looked at Smart in dis-
belief or didn’t look at him at all.
Andris Biedrins, for one, acknowl-
edges he hesitated to commit at all
before eventually reaching out his
hand.
“I was thinking to shake his hand
or not,” said Biedrins, the Latvian
center who also was coached by
Smart on the national team in his
home country. “He was holding his
hand out. I said, ’OK, coach.”’

Arizona at Oregon may get wild, once again
By Anne M. Peterson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EUGENE, Ore. — The wild
recent history between Oregon and
Arizona seemed to peak last season
when overzealous Wildcats fans
readied to rush the field to celebrate
what looked to be a victory over the
Ducks.
Instead, fans left disappointed after
Oregon tied it with 6 seconds left and
went on to win 44-41 in the second
overtime. The loss eliminated
Arizona from any chance at the Rose
Bowl — the Ducks’ ultimate destina-
tion.
In 2007, the Ducks were ranked
No. 2 in the nation when they visited
Tucson, entertaining whispers about
lofty offseason possibilities. But
quarterback Dennis Dixon went
down with a season-ending knee
injury, Arizona won 34-24 and the
wins leader in
Knight and
worked as
right-hand man
to the NBA’s
all-time leader
in victories,
Don Nelson.
N e l s o n ,
Keith Smart relaxing these
days at his
Hawaiian home on Maui, still
checks in with Smart at least once a
week.
“All young assistants want to
have the opportunity to one day
work for one of the heavyweights,”
Smart said.
Smart spent seven years as an
assistant with Golden State, passing
up opportunities to go elsewhere he
knows might not have landed him
the opportunity he has now — with
the team that drafted him 41st over-
all in the second round in 1988.
Smart nearly left once, but then-
team executive Chris Mullin talked
him out of it.
Smart believed in staying in one
place, while maintaining stability
for his family.
The Warriors are off to a 7-8 start,
playing a more traditional style than
they did under Nelson with his
small-ball lineups. Smart replaced
Nelson in late September, the first
big change since Warriors owners
Joe Lacob and Peter Guber bought
the team from Chris Cohan.
“I told them I had everything
under control,” Smart said of a
recent chat with the bosses.
“Everybody held their breath for a
moment.”
Yes, the 46-year-old Smart is the
man in charge at last, leading his
own team for the first time — save
Ducks spiraled with losses in three of
their last four games.
“Every year since I’ve been here
our battles with Arizona have been
real knockdown drag-outs and that’s
what this is gonna be,” Oregon coach
Chip Kelly said.
The No. 1 Ducks (10-0, 7-0 Pac-
10) can clinch a BCS berth this
Friday when the No. 20 Wildcats (7-
3, 4-3) visit Autzen Stadium. Oregon
can also lock up at least a share of the
conference title with a victory.
Oregon, with its famously fast,
high-scoring offense, is ranked atop
the nation with an average of 50.7
points a game, and the team’s averag-
ing 542.2 yards total offense.
But Arizona could prove problem-
atic for the Ducks.
There are questions surrounding
running back LaMichael James, who
leads the nation with 158 rushing
yards a game.

for a stint as the Cleveland
Cavaliers’ interim head coach for
the final 40 games in 2003 after tak-
ing over for John Lucas. Smart
spent 10 years in all as an NBA
assistant.
Not that you’d notice any change
in this down-to-earth married father
of two basketball-playing boys. He
still tries to get home for a family
dinner whenever possible.
His new office is three times big-
ger.
“It feels no different than what
I’ve always been doing in life. It
really doesn’t,” Smart said. “I just
have the title and all that comes with
it, but the person is still the same.
Never changed a bit. ... I’m going to
live longer than I’m coaching, so I
have to stay who I am, you know?”
He religiously wakes up at 5:30
a.m. and arrives in his downtown
Oakland office by 7 to start a long
day of film study, practice and other
preparation.
When out and about, the modest
Smart swears he’s not recognized
on the streets.
“I can blend in because I’m just 6-
1,” he said. “It’s mostly the
teenagers, the young kids, who rec-
ognize me.”
Smart’s ability to lead and take
charge largely began when he was
13. His parents split up for a brief
five-month period — they now have
been married 46 years — and he
was thrust into a father-figure role
for his three younger brothers.
“I grew up fast,” he said.
His mother taught all her boys to
clean, cook, do laundry and sew.
The brothers aren’t surprised to see
Smart in a similar role today. Smart
is a boss and father figure “to grown
men.”
After Oregon’s last game, a 15-13
squeaker over California, the
Heisman Trophy hopeful was on
crutches with a leg injury. He was
able to rest the injury over a bye week
and practiced on a limited basis.
James said earlier this week he was
still feeling some pain, but he was not
listed on Oregon’s injury report.
Arizona is ranked No. 20 national-
ly in total defense, allowing an aver-
age 319.3 yards, and 14th in run
defense, allowing 112.9. And, also
coming off a bye, the Wildcats have
had a chance to both rest and game-
plan for the Ducks.
Defensive coordinator Greg Brown
joked when asked how his unit
planned to slow down Oregon.
“Thirteen guys,” he said. “We’ve
got a special petition into the NCAA
to see if they’ll go for it.”
On offense, Arizona’s strength is
quarterback Nick Foles, who has
“This promotion for him obvi-
ously was well deserved,” said
brother Herb Smart, a high school
girls basketball coach in New
Hampshire. “It just showed that you
pay your dues and you will be
rewarded for it. The biggest thing
for him was waiting his time and
once the opportunity was there he
fell right into it.”
Yet Smart, who played very little
organized basketball in high school
before becoming a junior college
All-American, had long dreamt of a
prosperous NBA playing career.
After the Warriors drafted him, he
was cut twice in three weeks and
wound up in the CBA and overseas,
instead. This only a year after he
knocked down the baseline jump
shot that lifted Indiana over
Syracuse for the national title.
Nine years later, during the sum-
mer of 1997, Smart reached a new
point in his life. He was ready to
take the next step, from player to
coach.
It took a fire ravaging through his
lakeside condominium in
Bloomington, Ind. — and destroy-
ing everything, including all the
memorabilia from his glory days
with the Hoosiers and 20 pairs of
new Nike shoes still in boxes he
planned to wear the next season —
and leaving him with just his wife,
Carol, and young son, Andre, to
come to that realization. The entire
neighborhood was hit by the blaze.
“You went from just going about
your life today to all of a sudden
having zero,” Smart recalled. “I
thought: ’Oh well, it must be a sign.
I’ve lost my shoes.’ We had no
clothing, nothing. Here I was
watching everything we had go up
in smoke and it was like a cool
thrown for 601 yards with four touch-
downs and an interception over his
last two games. He is completing a
conference-high 71.0 percent of his
passes.
But the Wildcats lost those two
games, to Stanford and USC — both
of whom Oregon easily defeated.
Arizona will be without receiver
Bug Wright, suspended indefinitely
this week for violating team rules.
Wright had two touchdown catches
this season.
Stoops said the Wildcats learned
from last year’s encounter with the
Ducks.
“I think our players understand
how good you have to play as a
team and how disciplined and how
quick they can strike,” coach Mike
Stoops said. “We had pretty good
control of that game a year ago and
they came back and scored two
touchdowns in the fourth quarter
THE DAILY JOURNAL
peace came over me and just said:
’Look, you’re holding the most
important things in your life. You
can get all that back.”’
He did get things back. People
offered him photos and mementos
of his days as a college star.
For Smart, the ordeal provided
new perspective on everything. At
Knight’s urging, he went to Fort
Wayne, Ind., to coach in the CBA
rather than taking a job on the
Hoosiers staff.
“That was one of the pieces that
showed him, ’Hey, nothing is here
forever,”’ Herb Smart said of the
fire.
Nelson groomed Smart for this
gig for a while. One night, Nellie
told the players that Smart was in
charge and would coach them all
game — and Nelson would offer
input on occasion, or not. Smart
also filled in when Nelson was side-
lined with pneumonia for a period
early last season. That stretch
included a 111-103 victory at
Dallas on Nov. 24, 2009, with only
six players.
Nelson instructed Smart never to
take notes on how he did things but
rather just watch him. During the
team’s 2007 playoff season, Nelson
went to talk to volatile guard
Stephen Jackson and sat right down
on the court beside him.
“No other assistant coach in this
league had the freedom I had. He
was training me to really run a bas-
ketball program,” Smart said. “I
studied. I always prepared. Coach
always told me, ’Prepare because I
may get kicked out of the game.’ I
always prepared like I would have
to coach the game.”
Now, after quite a wait, it’s
Smart’s turn every night.
and executed very well. We just got
a couple of guys out of place, and
the next thing you knew, they were
scoring.”
Oregon showed vulnerability in a
low-scoring game against Cal, and
no doubt the Wildcats have commit-
ted the film on the game to memory.
But quarterback Darron Thomas
said the narrow victory in a season
of blowouts didn’t rattle the Ducks.
“Nothing’s really changed. We
expect Arizona to come out and do
some similar things that Cal did so
we just have to be ready this time,”
said Thomas, who has thrown 23
touchdown passes in Oregon’s
unique spread-option.
This one will likely produce higher
scores for both teams. Over their last
four meetings, Arizona has scored
120 points (40 points per game)
while Oregon has had 126 points
(42).

Song-and-dance extravaganza is shiny and sparkly
Cher and Christina Aguilera star in:
Fun in the city
“Beach Blanket
Babylon” continues
holiday tradition
SEE PAGE 17
But does it stir?
By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
S
top me if you think you’ve
heard this one before. A
small-town girl with big
dreams and a big voice packs up
everything she owns in a suitcase,
makes her way to Hollywood and
wows the world with her talent. But
not everyone has her best interest at
heart, so she’ll have to cling tight to
her values to figure out whom she
should trust. And she’ll do it ... in
song!
Yes, they should provide a cliche
checklist at the door of “Burlesque,”
just to make it interactive and help
pass the time.
Sure, this song-and-dance extrava-
ganza is sufficiently shiny and spark-
ly, an explosion of sequins and feath-
ers and sass. Writer-director Steven
Antin is the brother of Pussycat Dolls
creator Robin Antin, so there’s a cer-
tain familiarity to the bump-and-
grind numbers the dancers perform.
The mere presence of Cher guaran-
tees a high camp factor; at a recent
screening, the first sight of her on
stage in all her sailor-hatted,
Plasticine glory drew appreciative

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
It’s getting to look a lot like Christmas. And
at Beach Blanket Babylon that means Santa in
sequins, tap-dancing Christmas trees and
REALLY BIG HATS decorated for the season.
The classic BBB is all there to be sure, using
Snow White’s ‘round the world search for a
‘Prince Charming’ to take a poke at pretty
much all the one name people who ever made
it to the cover of People magazine. Madonna,
Oprah, Arnold, Bill and Hillary, Elvis and
many more are simultaneously honored and
skewered at a breakneck pace to satirical ren-
ditions of popular songs.
Also present are Glinda the Good Witch,
Louis XIV (specially decked out for the holi-
days) and a band of dancing French Poodles.
STAGE DIRECTIONS: Beach Blanket
Babylon performs at Club Fugazi, an intimate
North Beach theater featuring cocktail tables
on the bottom level and traditional seating in
the balcony. The address is officially 678
Green St. although the portion of Green in
front of the club has been renamed Beach
Blanket Babylon Boulevard. There are valet
parking lots on Green, one of them directly
across from the theatre, and numerous other
lots nearby. Looking to eat after the show?

AN ASIDE: Jo Schuman Silver, Producer
of Steve Silver’s Beach Blanket Babylon, says,
“When Steve Silver created Beach Blanket
Babylon he sketched every element of the

new character or musical number to the show.
Through these sketches, Beach Blanket
Babylon continues to carry on Steve Silver’s
vision.”

Jamie Oliver’s take on American holiday traditions
By Michele Kayal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Turkey on the table may signal an
“American” holiday, but the menu’s
only the beginning.
“There’s a real conscious effort to
make it inclusive,” says Jamie
Oliver, whose newest cookbook
explores the rich diversity of
America and its food. “Whether
you’re Jewish, black, white,
Muslim, Hindu, every religion can
get involved in the holidays. That’s
quite generous, really.”
“Jamie’s America” (Hyperion,
2010) will give you recipes for
burgers, ribs and fried chicken. But
the British chef, famous most
recently for his efforts to reform
Western eating habits, emphasizes
Chinese dan dan noodles, Jewish
latkes and chicken soup, Peruvian
ceviche, Egyptian stuffed flatbread,
Cajun alligator, Navajo venison
stew and Mexican chicken mole.
“It’s such a young country that
really it’s just the most incredible
melting pot of cultures,” Oliver
says. “It’s so new and fresh and
vibrant, and every day there’s new
Food
waves of immigrants coming in.”
So how to bring a quintessential-
ly American touch to every holiday
from Hanukkah to Christmas to
New Year’s Eve?
Mix it up
Who says Christmas has to be
about ham? Eat latkes for breakfast
or kimchee for lunch. Try Mexican
sweet tamales and chocolate for
dessert. “Look, America’s a mas-
sive country,” Oliver says. “There
are some classic dishes, but you
don’t have to do the same thing all
the time. It’s wicked to just throw in
a Mexican dish from East L.A.”
Think potluck
Nothing’s more American — or
convenient — than a potluck.
“There’s a table or terrace and you
fill it out with contributions from
your friends,” Oliver says. “Some
of it’s good, some of it’s bad, but
it’s fun either way. And you’ve got
the competition, people trying to
outdo each other.”
WEEKEND JOURNAL
If you just can’t bring yourself to
potluck, you can at least cut your
stress by planning well. “It’s all
about preparation,” Oliver says.
Once you start knocking out 15 or
20 meals, you’re essentially run-
ning a restaurant. To do it well,
you’ll need a plan.
“From the minute you close the
door and say ’goodbye’ you need to
work your way back,” he says.
“Write a timetable. It takes only 10
minutes and it will save you.”
Being prepared even means mak-
ing sure Uncle Bobby’s not telling
his fish stories — again. “If you’ve
got someone in the family who’s a
bit boring and miserable, get a cou-
ple sidecars in them,” Oliver says,
only half-joking. “They won’t be
boring anymore.”
Fiery shrimp cocktail
Start to finish: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
For the shrimp and sauce:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound raw large shrimp, shells
removed
Salt and ground black pepper, to
taste
1 cup tomato sauce
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 3 limes
Zest of 1 lime
1 clove garlic, minced
1 to 2 red or green chilies, thinly
sliced
2 scallions, trimmed and sliced at
an angle into 1/2-inch pieces.
Handful of soft, fresh herbs
(basil, dill, cilantro or a mix),
leaves picked and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon Worcestershire
sauce (optional)
Tequila (optional)
1 medium cucumber
To garnish:
1 small heart of romaine,
chopped
2 avocados, halved, pitted and
cubed
2 handfuls mixed sprouts
3 limes, halved
Flour tortillas or a baguette,
toasted and sliced
In a large skillet over medium,
heat the olive oil. Add the shrimp
with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Saute for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the
shrimp are starting to color and
cook through.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Transfer the shrimp to a large
bowl. Add the tomato sauce, lemon
juice and zest, lime zest, garlic,
most of the chilies, the scallions
and most of the herbs. Stir and sea-
son with salt, pepper, then add more
herbs, chilies and citrus juices as
needed. Stir in the Worcestershire
and tequila, if using.
Using a fork or a channel knife,
create grooves in the skin of the
cucumber. Cut the cucumber into
thick slices and add to the mixture.
Stir to combine, wrap tightly and
store in the refrigerator until ready
to serve. Serve garnished with
romaine, avocadoes, sprouts and
limes.

Even you have time to make fancy hors d’oeuvres
By Jim Romanoff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
You may have fantasies of whipping
up a feast of glamorous hors d’oeuvres
for your holiday party, but your reality
probably doesn’t allow for a whole lot
of mini-quiche baking or rolling out of
puff pastry.
The good news is the middle ground
isn’t so hard to reach.
These orange-arugula crab salad
bites benefit from the sophisticated fla-
vor of sweet fresh seafood delicately
balanced with smoky Spanish paprika
(available at most larger grocers), spicy
baby arugula and touch of orange zest.
The salad, which also could be made

with lobster or minced shrimp, takes

Something you’ve desired for an exceptionally long time has
excellent chances of becoming a reality in the near future.
Once you get things rolling, others will step into the fold and
do things for you that you can’t do alone.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Be mindful of your past
experiences or those of your companions when plotting a
course of action. Don’t allow someone with little knowledge
do the thinking or direct the group.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Don’t hesitate to request
a favor from someone you helped in the past. This person has
been looking for a way to reciprocate, and will jump at the
chance to do so for you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Because of your open and
honest manner, others will be drawn to you and will feel free
to share some of their confidential fears or desires that they
dare not tell others.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - It’ll be the effective manner
in which you apply yourself that has you accomplishing feats
that, in most cases, are far too difficult for many of your asso-
ciates to attempt.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Set aside adequate time to
socialize with some friends, because it would do you more
good than usual. Whether you’ve had a hectic week or a quiet
one, having some fun will get your juices flowing.
signs of growth from those financial seeds you planted. More
is on its way.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - As long as neither tries to
upstage the other, a partnership arrangement into which you
enter will turn out to be fortunate for both parties. Remember,
that spotlight is big enough for two.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Lucky you, your financial
trends are about to take a turn for the better. However, don’t
use this as an excuse to squander much of the new earnings
that now become available.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Because you’ll be more relaxed than
usual, with a focus on enjoying yourself, you’ll tend to capti-
vate your audience and be received especially well by friends
both old and new.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - You can accomplish anything
your imagination allows and/or what you determine to be
important to you. You’ll be specific about what you want to
achieve, and will focus on only that.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - If there is someone whom you
want to get to know better, try to make arrangements to
entertain this person in a convivial environment, where friend-
ship can blossom without interference.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Rewards for certain past
actions are likely to be realized at long last. Depending upon Sudoku
your actions, gains could either be substantial from meritori-
