By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A juvenile was arrested Friday afternoon in

the act of burglarizing a San Carlos residence
after an alert neighbor saw two males try to
enter the home through a window and then
phoned police.
“It would have been a ‘blue’ Christmas if it
weren’t for our neighbor,” victim Nicole
Patterson said.
Police arrived on the scene at about 1:40
p.m. while the two young men were busy
inside the home on St. Francis Way stuffing
suitcases with electronic equipment and
rifling through drawers for jewelry, according
to Patterson.
One was arrested by a San Mateo County
sheriff’s deputy after a foot chase over a fence
and several city blocks but the second suspect
got away, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

who heads the U.S. Federal Emergency
Management Agency. It handled a record
number of disasters in 2010.
“The term ’100-year event’ really lost its
meaning this year.”
And we have ourselves to blame most of
the time, scientists and disaster experts say.
Even though many catastrophes have the
ring of random chance, the hand of man
made this a particularly deadly, costly,
extreme and weird year for everything from
wild weather to earthquakes.
Poor construction and development prac-
tices conspire to make earthquakes more
deadly than they need be. More people live
in poverty in vulnerable buildings in crowd-
ed cities. That means that when the ground
shakes, the river breaches, or the tropical
cyclone hits, more people die.
Disasters from the Earth, such as earth-
quakes and volcanoes “are pretty much con-
stant,” said Andreas Schraft, vice president
of catastrophic perils for the Geneva-based
insurance giant Swiss Re. “All the change
that’s made is man-made.”

$125 an hour for Santa to visit a holiday
party has become an unaffordable luxury.
It’s the second year of declining parties and
events, Santas say.
“This year has been a bust as far as mak-
ing any money,” said McTavish, a retired
firefighter who co-owns a landscaping
business with his son. “I’ve booked noth-
ing. Usually there’s always something for
Christmas Eve, but I don’t even have that.”
In addition to knowing which children
have been bad or good, the modern-day
Santa also hears which families don’t have
enough money for presents.
“You can see the downturn from the
chair,” said Nicholas Trolli, the president of
the Amalgamated Order of Real Bearded
Santas — a 1,700-member social group the
Boston Herald once dubbed “The Nation’s
Premier Fraternity of A-List Santas.”
Trolli lives in Sarasota, Fla., but travels
around the country as a hired Santa. On a
recent day, he worked a mall in Kansas
City that had to lower photo prices by 20
percent.
“People are telling us they just can’t
afford a photo with Santa,” Trolli said.

Armed men rob

pick stabbing case 14-year-old girl at bus stop

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Pacifica man accused of stabbing his
girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend in the head with an
ice pick after encountering the couple at the
beach pleaded not guilty to attempted murder
after unsuccessfully trying to fire his court-
appointed attorney.
Arthur John Armstrong, 37, asked Judge
Lee Davis yesterday to let him replace
defense attorney Vince O’Malley. The hearing
was held in the judge’s chambers so
Armstrong’s reasons were not disclosed. After
Davis denied the motion, Armstrong pleaded
not guilty to attempted murder, assault and the
special allegations of using a knife and caus-
ing great bodily injury in the Nov. 15 attack.
He returns to court Jan. 4 to set a preliminary
hearing.
Armstrong remains in custody on no-bail
status on which he’s been held since allegedly
attacking the 39-year-old victim.
Armstrong and the victim met up after they
separately headed to the same beach area near
the pier to drink with their respective girl-
friends. Armstrong’s ex-girlfriend is now dat-
ing the victim.
The victim told police
the couples exchanged
insults before Armstrong
threw a lit firecracker in
their direction. When the
victim asked what he was
doing, he said Armstrong
approached and began
punching him while the ex-
Arthur girlfriend assaulted the
current girlfriend.
Armstrong
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.
Armstrong he reportedly told authorities
after his arrest he did nothing beyond physi-
cally assaulting the 39-year-old victim.
The attempted murder and assault charges
could carry up to 13 years in prison.
multimillion-dollar makeover of a historic
waterfront hangar where World War II ships
were built, which would turn it into a
Department of Veterans Affairs medical
research center.
More than 90 Liberty ships were built at the
old machine shop during the war to deliver crit-
ical cargo between 1942 and 1945. After the war,
it was converted into a geotechnical testing lab-
oratory and has sat abandoned since 1997.
The Department of Veterans Affairs, which
acquired it in 2006, initially considered retro-
fitting the 27,500-square-foot structure but deter-
mined it would cost too much. Seismic upgrades
would cost about $13 million, compared to $7
million for a modern, new center where
researchers would study medical issues such as
post-traumatic stress, HIV, liver disease and car-
diac surgery.
“It would be entirely too costly,” VA spokes-
woman Judi Cheary said of the retrofitting pro-
posal. “It would not be federal dollars well
spent.”
Some local leaders are opposing the plan, say-
ing the historic building needs to remain stand-
ing to honor the workers who helped the United
States win the war.
“It’s an integral part of Sausalito’s history,”
Councilman Jonathan Leone said. “If you look
at the architecture down in the Marinship, they
all have their original shells.”

SAN FRANCISCO — Two men robbed a
14-year-old girl at gunpoint at a bus stop in
the Japantown area on Sunday morning,
police said.
Police said the men — one believed to be in
his late teens and the other in his 20s —
approached the girl at about 6:50 a.m. at
Geary Boulevard and Laguna Street, near the
Japan Center shopping center.
The younger of the two suspects told the
girl, “Show me the money,” while the other
brandished a silver revolver with a brown han-
dle, police said.
The men then fled with the girl's handbag,
jewelry and cell phone, according to police.
The girl was not injured, and no arrests have
been made in the case.

Board OKs extending high-speed rail line
By Daisy Nguyen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Officials
agreed on Monday to nearly double
the length of the first segment of
California’s planned high-speed rail
line to allay concerns that the initial
route will not reach major popula-
tion centers in the Central Valley.
Six members of the California
High-Speed Rail Authority board
voted unanimously to spend an
additional $616 million in federal
funding to extend the segment to
Bakersfield.
Earlier this month, the federal
government reallocated $1.2 billion
in high-speed rail funding to
California and 11 other states after
Ohio and Wisconsin decided not to
proceed with their rail projects. The

state; more rain on way

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — A powerful
storm system with drenching rain,
heavy snow and high winds lashed
California on Monday, but forecasters
warned the worst was yet to come.
Even stronger storms were bearing
down on the state and threatened to
dump another 5 to 10 inches of rain
during the next two days.
Virtually the entire state was affect-
ed by the bad weather.
Some locations in Southern
California had received more than 12
inches of rain, said meteorologist
Jamie Meier of the National Weather
Service. It was the most rainfall from
one storm event since 2005, he said.
“That will make for a pretty good
wallop, especially considering how
dry things have been for the last two
years,” Meier said.
Downtown Los Angeles got 5 1/4
inches of rain since Friday morning,
more than a third of the average annu-
al precipitation.
Thousands of residents of the San
Joaquin Valley farming community of
McFarland were evacuated for hours
Monday amid fears of major flood-
ing,
At one point, an estimated 400 to
500 homes were in danger as the
result of the stormy weather that has
gripped California since late last
week, triggering mostly minor flood-

power outages.

announcement came a week after
the authority board approved a staff
engineers’ proposal to build the first
65 miles of an 800-mile-long, high-
speed rail line through California’s
agricultural core.
The sudden windfall provides the
authority a total of $5.5 billion to
construct up to 123 miles of track,
authority CEO Roelof van Ark said.
The latest round of funding must be
matched by state funds.
The authority intends to build a
520-mile span tying the San
Francisco Bay area to Los Angeles
and Anaheim at an estimated cost of
$43 billion, van Ark said. Plans call
for eventual expansions to
Sacramento and San Diego.
Critics had panned the first 65-
mile route as the “train to nowhere”
because it would start from the tiny

“We just want to be prepared,” he
said, dropping the bags around his
doors and driveway.
Gary Farrell, general manager of
the McFarland Parks and Recreation
District, said the flooding was caused
when Poso Creek became clogged
with debris and overflowed. Santa Fe
Railroad crews cleared the debris.
Elsewhere, a small twin-engine air-
plane was reported overdue on a 65-
mile flight from Palm Springs to
Chino, and the Riverside County
Sheriff’s Department intended to con-
duct a search while the Federal
Aviation Administration checked
with other airports to see if the pilot
had diverted, FAA spokesman Ian
Gregor said.
Gregor said late Monday that small
plane wreckage had been found, but
he could not confirm if it was the
missing plane. He referred inquiries
to the sheriff’s department, which did
not immediately return calls seeking
further information.
The California Highway Patrol
reported two rain-related traffic
deaths Sunday. A 3-year-old boy was
ejected from an SUV that went out of
control in heavy rain in the Fresno
area, and a 22-year-old man was
thrown from a vehicle that
hydroplaned and crashed in the
Bakersfield area.
Flash-flood watches and warnings
were in effect Monday for some

another one east of Hanford before
ending in Corcoran, another small
town.
Authority board members hoped
the expansion to an Amtrak station
in Bakersfield, a city of 339,000 on
the southern end of the valley, will
put an end to critics’ derisions.
“This makes a lot more sense,”
board member Lynn Schenk said.
“I’m pleased that we got the money,
still scarred by wildfires.
Residents of La Canada Flintridge
were among those keeping a wary eye
on the rain after a 250-square-mile
wildfire last year denuded towering
slopes above communities along the
foothills of the San Gabriel
Mountains.
More than 40 homes in the hillside
city just north of Los Angeles were
damaged or destroyed by a mudslide
in February.
“We’ve just had some sprinkling
rains today. Occasionally it gets a lit-
tler harder but nothing to worry
about,” said Del Tucker, a retired
geologist who has lived in the area
since homes were built there in 1962.
Justin Wright, 29, waited at a cafe
table outside a grocery store in La
Canada Flintridge, hoping for a lull in
the rain so he could dash back to his
truck.
“It’s scary to drive in this stuff,” he
said “It’s coming down so hard you
can’t see.” The rain never stopped, so
he eventually pulled up his collar and
made a run for the warmth of his
truck.
Pacific Gas and Electric Co. crews
were working to restore power to the
last of about 282,000 customers that
lost electricity since the storm arrived.
Southern California Edison had
13,000 customers still without power.
Repair crews braced for predicted
winds of up to 45 mph, along with
heavy rain and snow in elevated areas.

The board picked the extension to
Bakersfield over another option to
go north toward Merced, 50 miles
north of Fresno. Van Ark said staff
engineers were still studying several
alternatives for tracks to Merced,
and picking a route now would
carry a risk that it would not link up
with nearby freight-rail lines used

Brown, wife rent upscale

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles
police detectives say they have tenta-

Obama lobbies GOP to back pact
By Donna Cassata
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Barack
Obama tried to sway reluctant Republican
senators on Monday to back a new arms con-
trol treaty with Russia as GOP aversion to
giving a politically damaged president anoth-
er victory intruded on his national security
agenda.
The White House and senior Democrats
expressed confidence that they had the votes
for the accord that was signed by Obama and
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in April.
The two countries negotiated the New START
pact to cap nuclear weapons and restart
weapons inspections in the spirit of U.S.
efforts to reset the relationship between the
former Cold War foes.
Proponents edged closer to getting the two-
thirds vote they needed for ratification as

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — No public displays of
affection. No separate bathrooms. No harass-
ment and no special treatment.
As the U.S. military begins to map out how
it will implement the new edict allowing gays
to serve openly, the first order of business is
drafting the regulations. The rule changes
under discussion won’t dictate how troops feel
about the change, but will strictly enforce how
they act on it.
From small wording tweaks and training
programs to more complex questions about
benefits and religion, the proposed guidelines
demand that gays and lesbians be treated just

the treaty. In recent days,
Brown had received a call
from Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Republican Sen. Johnny
Isakson of Georgia, who
also heard from Clinton,
sent the strongest signal
yet that he would support
Barack Obama ratification.
Treaty backers also
were heartened as several Republicans broke
ranks, voting against three GOP amendments
that would have effectively killed the treaty.
With the help of eight Republicans,
Democrats beat back an amendment to
increase the number of weapons inspectors on
a 64-33 vote. They also rejected a measure to
change the accord and increase the number of
deployed launchers on a 64-33 vote. An effort
to change the treaty to include tactical nuclear
weapons also failed, 62-35.
Obama, who delayed his holiday vacation,
lobbied senators by phone as he pressed to

marine. But they also leave the door open for
some flexibility in room assignments or other
instances when commanders believe it’s need-
ed to maintain order and discipline in their
units.
The Senate voted Saturday to repeal the ban
on openly gay service, following earlier action
by the House. Fulfilling a 2008 campaign
promise, President Barack Obama plans to
sign the bill into law on Wednesday at a
Department of Interior ceremony. But in let-
ters to the troops over the weekend, the four
military service chiefs warned that the ban is
still in place, and will be for some time to
come.

Republicans increase their numbers by five in
the Senate, casting the accord’s fate in doubt.
Vice President Joe Biden and Clinton also
called lawmakers to push for ratification.
Bolstering Obama’s argument for quick
action, Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, sent a letter to lawmak-
ers reiterating support for the accord.
“This treaty enhances our ability to do that
which we in the military have been charged to
do: Protect and defend the citizens of the
United States. I am confident in its success as
I am in its safeguards. The sooner it is ratified,
the better,” Mullen wrote.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., read parts of
Mullen’s letter at the closed briefing.
Despite the letter, several conservative
Republicans insist the treaty would restrict
U.S. options on a missile defense system to
protect America and its allies and argue that
the accord has insufficient procedures to veri-
fy Russia’s adherence.
“The implementation and certification
process will not happen immediately; it will
take time,” Air Force Chief of Staff Gen.
Norton Schwartz said in an e-mail to airmen.
“Meanwhile, the current law remains in effect.
All Air Force members should conduct them-
selves accordingly.”
Recommendations to implement the repeal
were outlined in a 67-page report last month,
and now must be formed into concrete regula-
tions. Defense officials said Monday that they
still don’t know how long it will take before
the Pentagon completes its implementation
plan and certifies the change will not damage
combat readiness. Once certified, the imple-
mentation would begin 60 days later.

Hawaii preparing another

KAILUA, Hawaii — While President
Barack Obama’s standing in Washington has

Feds want reporting
for high-powered rifle sales
WASHINGTON — Moving to crack down on
gun smugglers, the federal agency that monitors
weapons sales is asking the White House for
emergency authority to require that dealers near
the Mexican border report multiple purchases of
high powered rifles.
According to a notice published Friday in the

House to approve a requirement that border-area
gun dealers report the sales of two or more rifles
to the same customer within a five-day period.
The move by ATF, intended to help Mexican
authorities in their campaign against violent drug
gangs, is likely to face stiff opposition from gun
rights advocates.

Editor,
I certainly don’t want to spoil any-

the “rebirth of the sun” Dec. 25 has
a long, well-documented history of
about 6,000 years.
Even before the ancient Romans
celebrated this time of year with
their Saturnalia festival, celebrating
the return of their sun god Saturn,
the older Persian religion of
Mithraism had celebrated the resur-
rection of their sun god, Mithra, who
was born of a virgin.
According to ancient texts, Mithra’s
birth was witnessed by numerous
shepherds who spread the word of
‘Parents honestly may not have much control if

will also extend favorable tax rates on

The mortgages were so named
because their terms allowed borrowers
to make payments at various levels each
month, including a payment option that
increased the loan’s principal by cover-
ing less than the monthly interest owed.
The payments also ballooned to high-
er rates after a set period, leaving many
borrowers unable to continue paying,
Attorney General Jerry Brown said in a
statement.
“Customers were offered adjustable-
rate loans with payments that mush-

average forecast of 52 cents per share
among analysts surveyed by Thomson

Adobe says revenue jumped 33 per-

last year. It was Adobe’s first billion-dol-

Adobe, which is based in San Jose,
Calif., says it expects to earn 54 cents to
59 cents per share in the current quarter,
excluding items, on revenue of $1 billion

Gas demand should fall for good after ’06 peak
By Jonathan Fahey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The world’s biggest gas-
guzzling nation has limits after all.
After seven decades of mostly uninterrupted
growth, U.S. gasoline demand is at the start of
a long-term decline. By 2030, Americans will
burn at least 20 percent less gasoline than today,
experts say, even as millions of more cars clog
the roads.
The country’s thirst for gasoline is shrinking
as cars and trucks become more fuel-efficient,
the government mandates the use of more
ethanol and people drive less.
“A combination of demographic change and
policy change means the heady days of gasoline
growing in the U.S. are over,” says Daniel
Yergin, chairman of IHS Cambridge Energy
Research Associates and author of a Pulitzer
Prize-winning history of the oil industry.
This isn’t the first time in U.S. history that
gasoline demand has fallen, at least temporari-
ly. Drivers typically cut back during recessions,
then hit the road again when the economy picks
up. Indeed, the Great Recession was the chief
reason demand fell sharply in 2008.
But this time looks different. Government
and industry officials — including the CEO of
Exxon Mobil — say U.S. gasoline demand has
peaked for good. It has declined four years in a
row and will not reach the 2006 level again,
even when the economy fully recovers.
In fact, the ground was shifting before the
recession. The 2001 terrorist attacks, the war in
Iraq, Hurricane Katrina and pump prices rising
to a nationwide average of $3 a gallon for the
first time in a generation reignited public
debates about the political and economic effects
of oil imports and climate change. Also, the
popularity of SUVs began to wane, and the
government started requiring refiners to blend
corn-based ethanol into every gallon of gaso-
line.
Americans are burning an average of 8.2 mil-
lion barrels — 344 million gallons — of gaso-

line per day in 2010, a figure that excludes the
ethanol blended into gasoline. That’s 8 percent
less than at the 2006 peak, according to govern-
ment data.
The decline is expected to accelerate for sev-
eral reasons.
• Starting with the 2012 model year, cars will
have to hit a higher fuel economy target for the
first time since 1990. Each carmaker’s fleet
must average 30.1 mpg, up from 27.5. By the
2016 model year, that number must rise to 35.5
mpg. And, starting next year, SUVs and mini-
vans, once classified as trucks, will count
toward passenger vehicle targets.
• The auto industry is introducing cars that
run partially or entirely on electricity, and the
federal government is providing billions of dol-
lars in subsidies to increase production and spur
sales.
• By 2022, the country’s fuel mix must
include 36 billion gallons of ethanol and other
biofuels, up from 14 billion gallons in 2011. Put
another way, biofuels will account for roughly
one of every four gallons sold at the pump.
• Gasoline prices are forecast to stay high as
developing economies in Asia and the Middle
East use more oil.
There are demographic factors at work, too.
Baby boomers will drive less as they age. The
surge of women entering the work force and
commuting in recent decades has leveled off.
And the era of Americans commuting ever far-
ther distances appears to be over. One measure
of this, vehicle miles traveled per licensed driv-
er, began to flatten in the middle of the last
decade after years of sharp growth.
“People wildly underestimate the effect that
all this is going to have” on gasoline demand,
says Paul Sankey, an analyst at Deutsche Bank.
Sankey predicts by 2030 America will use just
5.4 million barrels a day, the same as in 1969.

number of disasters in 2010.
“The term ’100-year event’ really lost its
meaning this year.”
And we have ourselves to blame most of
the time, scientists and disaster experts say.
Even though many catastrophes have the
ring of random chance, the hand of man
made this a particularly deadly, costly,
extreme and weird year for everything from
wild weather to earthquakes.
Poor construction and development prac-
tices conspire to make earthquakes more
deadly than they need be. More people live
in poverty in vulnerable buildings in crowd-
ed cities. That means that when the ground
shakes, the river breaches, or the tropical
cyclone hits, more people die.
Disasters from the Earth, such as earth-
quakes and volcanoes “are pretty much con-
stant,” said Andreas Schraft, vice president
of catastrophic perils for the Geneva-based
insurance giant Swiss Re. “All the change
that’s made is man-made.”

“This year has been a bust as far as mak-
ing any money,” said McTavish, a retired
firefighter who co-owns a landscaping
business with his son. “I’ve booked noth-
ing. Usually there’s always something for
Christmas Eve, but I don’t even have that.”
In addition to knowing which children
have been bad or good, the modern-day
Santa also hears which families don’t have
enough money for presents.
“You can see the downturn from the
chair,” said Nicholas Trolli, the president of
the Amalgamated Order of Real Bearded

Boston Herald once dubbed “The Nation’s

Trolli lives in Sarasota, Fla., but travels
around the country as a hired Santa. On a

“People are telling us they just can’t

Armed men rob

pick stabbing case 14-year-old girl at bus stop

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Pacifica man accused of stabbing his
girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend in the head with an
ice pick after encountering the couple at the
beach pleaded not guilty to attempted murder
after unsuccessfully trying to fire his court-
appointed attorney.
Arthur John Armstrong, 37, asked Judge
Lee Davis yesterday to let him replace
defense attorney Vince O’Malley. The hearing
was held in the judge’s chambers so
Armstrong’s reasons were not disclosed. After
Davis denied the motion, Armstrong pleaded
not guilty to attempted murder, assault and the
special allegations of using a knife and caus-
ing great bodily injury in the Nov. 15 attack.
He returns to court Jan. 4 to set a preliminary
hearing.
Armstrong remains in custody on no-bail
status on which he’s been held since allegedly
attacking the 39-year-old victim.
Armstrong and the victim met up after they
separately headed to the same beach area near
the pier to drink with their respective girl-
friends. Armstrong’s ex-girlfriend is now dat-
ing the victim.
The victim told police
the couples exchanged
insults before Armstrong
threw a lit firecracker in
their direction. When the
victim asked what he was
doing, he said Armstrong
approached and began
punching him while the ex-
Arthur girlfriend assaulted the
current girlfriend.
Armstrong
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.
Armstrong he reportedly told authorities
after his arrest he did nothing beyond physi-
cally assaulting the 39-year-old victim.
The attempted murder and assault charges
could carry up to 13 years in prison.

were built, which would turn it into a
Department of Veterans Affairs medical
research center.
More than 90 Liberty ships were built at the
old machine shop during the war to deliver crit-
ical cargo between 1942 and 1945. After the war,
it was converted into a geotechnical testing lab-
oratory and has sat abandoned since 1997.
The Department of Veterans Affairs, which
acquired it in 2006, initially considered retro-
fitting the 27,500-square-foot structure but deter-
mined it would cost too much. Seismic upgrades
would cost about $13 million, compared to $7
million for a modern, new center where
researchers would study medical issues such as
post-traumatic stress, HIV, liver disease and car-
diac surgery.
“It would be entirely too costly,” VA spokes-
woman Judi Cheary said of the retrofitting pro-
posal. “It would not be federal dollars well
spent.”
Some local leaders are opposing the plan, say-
ing the historic building needs to remain stand-
ing to honor the workers who helped the United
States win the war.
“It’s an integral part of Sausalito’s history,”
Councilman Jonathan Leone said. “If you look

SAN FRANCISCO — Two men robbed a
14-year-old girl at gunpoint at a bus stop in
the Japantown area on Sunday morning,
police said.
Police said the men — one believed to be in
his late teens and the other in his 20s —
approached the girl at about 6:50 a.m. at
Geary Boulevard and Laguna Street, near the
Japan Center shopping center.
The younger of the two suspects told the
girl, “Show me the money,” while the other
brandished a silver revolver with a brown han-
dle, police said.
The men then fled with the girl's handbag,
jewelry and cell phone, according to police.
The girl was not injured, and no arrests have
been made in the case.

Board OKs extending high-speed rail line
By Daisy Nguyen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Officials
agreed on Monday to nearly double
the length of the first segment of
California’s planned high-speed rail
line to allay concerns that the initial
route will not reach major popula-
tion centers in the Central Valley.
Six members of the California
High-Speed Rail Authority board
voted unanimously to spend an
additional $616 million in federal
funding to extend the segment to
Bakersfield.
Earlier this month, the federal
government reallocated $1.2 billion

state; more rain on way

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — A powerful
storm system with drenching rain,
heavy snow and high winds lashed
California on Monday, but forecasters
warned the worst was yet to come.
Even stronger storms were bearing
down on the state and threatened to
dump another 5 to 10 inches of rain
during the next two days.
Virtually the entire state was affect-
ed by the bad weather.
Some locations in Southern
California had received more than 12
inches of rain, said meteorologist
Jamie Meier of the National Weather
Service. It was the most rainfall from
one storm event since 2005, he said.
“That will make for a pretty good
wallop, especially considering how
dry things have been for the last two
years,” Meier said.
Downtown Los Angeles got 5 1/4
inches of rain since Friday morning,
more than a third of the average annu-
al precipitation.
Thousands of residents of the San
Joaquin Valley farming community of
McFarland were evacuated for hours
Monday amid fears of major flood-
ing,
At one point, an estimated 400 to
500 homes were in danger as the
result of the stormy weather that has
gripped California since late last
week, triggering mostly minor flood-
ing, mudslides, road closures and
power outages.

announcement came a week after
the authority board approved a staff
engineers’ proposal to build the first
65 miles of an 800-mile-long, high-
speed rail line through California’s
agricultural core.
The sudden windfall provides the
authority a total of $5.5 billion to
construct up to 123 miles of track,
authority CEO Roelof van Ark said.
The latest round of funding must be
matched by state funds.
The authority intends to build a
520-mile span tying the San
Francisco Bay area to Los Angeles
and Anaheim at an estimated cost of
$43 billion, van Ark said. Plans call
for eventual expansions to
Sacramento and San Diego.
Critics had panned the first 65-
mile route as the “train to nowhere”
because it would start from the tiny

“We just want to be prepared,” he
said, dropping the bags around his
doors and driveway.
Gary Farrell, general manager of
the McFarland Parks and Recreation
District, said the flooding was caused
when Poso Creek became clogged
with debris and overflowed. Santa Fe
Railroad crews cleared the debris.
Elsewhere, a small twin-engine air-
plane was reported overdue on a 65-
mile flight from Palm Springs to
Chino, and the Riverside County
Sheriff’s Department intended to con-
duct a search while the Federal
Aviation Administration checked
with other airports to see if the pilot
had diverted, FAA spokesman Ian
Gregor said.
Gregor said late Monday that small
plane wreckage had been found, but
he could not confirm if it was the
missing plane. He referred inquiries
to the sheriff’s department, which did
not immediately return calls seeking
further information.
The California Highway Patrol
reported two rain-related traffic
deaths Sunday. A 3-year-old boy was
ejected from an SUV that went out of
control in heavy rain in the Fresno
area, and a 22-year-old man was
thrown from a vehicle that
hydroplaned and crashed in the
Bakersfield area.
Flash-flood watches and warnings
were in effect Monday for some

Authority board members hoped
the expansion to an Amtrak station
in Bakersfield, a city of 339,000 on
the southern end of the valley, will
put an end to critics’ derisions.
“This makes a lot more sense,”
board member Lynn Schenk said.
“I’m pleased that we got the money,
still scarred by wildfires.
Residents of La Canada Flintridge
were among those keeping a wary eye
on the rain after a 250-square-mile
wildfire last year denuded towering
slopes above communities along the
foothills of the San Gabriel
Mountains.
More than 40 homes in the hillside
city just north of Los Angeles were
damaged or destroyed by a mudslide
in February.
“We’ve just had some sprinkling
rains today. Occasionally it gets a lit-
tler harder but nothing to worry
about,” said Del Tucker, a retired
geologist who has lived in the area
since homes were built there in 1962.
Justin Wright, 29, waited at a cafe
table outside a grocery store in La
Canada Flintridge, hoping for a lull in
the rain so he could dash back to his
truck.
“It’s scary to drive in this stuff,” he
said “It’s coming down so hard you
can’t see.” The rain never stopped, so
he eventually pulled up his collar and
made a run for the warmth of his
truck.
Pacific Gas and Electric Co. crews
were working to restore power to the
last of about 282,000 customers that
lost electricity since the storm arrived.
Southern California Edison had
13,000 customers still without power.
Repair crews braced for predicted
winds of up to 45 mph, along with
heavy rain and snow in elevated areas.

The board picked the extension to
Bakersfield over another option to
go north toward Merced, 50 miles
north of Fresno. Van Ark said staff
engineers were still studying several
alternatives for tracks to Merced,
and picking a route now would
carry a risk that it would not link up
with nearby freight-rail lines used

Brown, wife rent upscale
loft for Sacramento job
SACRAMENTO — Gov.-elect
Jerry Brown and his wife have

Grim Sleeper case photos
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles
police detectives say they have tenta-

“Grim Sleeper” serial killer.
Detectives said Monday none of
those 29 women had been victims in

causes.
The LAPD website where the pho-
tos were posted last week got thou-

after asking the public for help in
determining the fate of the women.
The photos were found in the home

He has pleaded not guilty to the mur-

Obama lobbies GOP to back pact
By Donna Cassata
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Barack
Obama tried to sway reluctant Republican
senators on Monday to back a new arms con-
trol treaty with Russia as GOP aversion to
giving a politically damaged president anoth-
er victory intruded on his national security
agenda.
The White House and senior Democrats
expressed confidence that they had the votes
for the accord that was signed by Obama and
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in April.
The two countries negotiated the New START
pact to cap nuclear weapons and restart
weapons inspections in the spirit of U.S.
efforts to reset the relationship between the
former Cold War foes.
Proponents edged closer to getting the two-
thirds vote they needed for ratification as
Republican Sen. Scott Brown of
Massachusetts announced he would support
Military to write rules on repeal of gay ban
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — No public displays of
affection. No separate bathrooms. No harass-
ment and no special treatment.
As the U.S. military begins to map out how
it will implement the new edict allowing gays
to serve openly, the first order of business is
drafting the regulations. The rule changes
under discussion won’t dictate how troops feel
about the change, but will strictly enforce how
they act on it.
From small wording tweaks and training
programs to more complex questions about
benefits and religion, the proposed guidelines
demand that gays and lesbians be treated just

the treaty. In recent days,
Brown had received a call
from Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Republican Sen. Johnny
Isakson of Georgia, who
also heard from Clinton,
sent the strongest signal
yet that he would support
Barack Obama ratification.
Treaty backers also
were heartened as several Republicans broke
ranks, voting against three GOP amendments
that would have effectively killed the treaty.
With the help of eight Republicans,
Democrats beat back an amendment to
increase the number of weapons inspectors on
a 64-33 vote. They also rejected a measure to
change the accord and increase the number of
deployed launchers on a 64-33 vote. An effort
to change the treaty to include tactical nuclear
weapons also failed, 62-35.
Obama, who delayed his holiday vacation,
lobbied senators by phone as he pressed to
like any other soldier, sailor, airman or
marine. But they also leave the door open for
some flexibility in room assignments or other
instances when commanders believe it’s need-
ed to maintain order and discipline in their
units.
The Senate voted Saturday to repeal the ban
on openly gay service, following earlier action
by the House. Fulfilling a 2008 campaign
promise, President Barack Obama plans to
sign the bill into law on Wednesday at a
Department of Interior ceremony. But in let-
ters to the troops over the weekend, the four
military service chiefs warned that the ban is
still in place, and will be for some time to
come.
complete the treaty before January when
Republicans increase their numbers by five in
the Senate, casting the accord’s fate in doubt.
Vice President Joe Biden and Clinton also
called lawmakers to push for ratification.
Bolstering Obama’s argument for quick
action, Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, sent a letter to lawmak-
ers reiterating support for the accord.
“This treaty enhances our ability to do that
which we in the military have been charged to
do: Protect and defend the citizens of the
United States. I am confident in its success as
I am in its safeguards. The sooner it is ratified,
the better,” Mullen wrote.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., read parts of
Mullen’s letter at the closed briefing.
Despite the letter, several conservative
Republicans insist the treaty would restrict
U.S. options on a missile defense system to
protect America and its allies and argue that
the accord has insufficient procedures to veri-
fy Russia’s adherence.
“The implementation and certification
process will not happen immediately; it will
take time,” Air Force Chief of Staff Gen.
Norton Schwartz said in an e-mail to airmen.
“Meanwhile, the current law remains in effect.
All Air Force members should conduct them-
selves accordingly.”
Recommendations to implement the repeal
were outlined in a 67-page report last month,
and now must be formed into concrete regula-
tions. Defense officials said Monday that they
still don’t know how long it will take before
the Pentagon completes its implementation
plan and certifies the change will not damage
combat readiness. Once certified, the imple-
mentation would begin 60 days later.

Hawaii preparing another

KAILUA, Hawaii — While President
Barack Obama’s standing in Washington has
dropped a notch or two in the year since he
and his family last spent their holiday vacation
in this beach community, the thrill is definite-

“I’m very excited,” said Virginia Carnohan,
owner of The Cottage gift shop about 2 1/2

beachfront homes where the Obama family
and friends will spend Christmas and New
Year’s.
First lady Michelle Obama, daughters Malia

evening on Oahu — the island that contains
the state’s largest city, where Obama was born
and mostly raised. But the president is not
expected until after Congress adjourns, possi-

Last year, delayed by deliberations on the
health care reform bill, the family didn’t get to
Hawaii until Christmas Eve. This will be their
third consecutive holiday visit to Kailua.
Feds want reporting
for high-powered rifle sales
WASHINGTON — Moving to crack down on
gun smugglers, the federal agency that monitors
weapons sales is asking the White House for
emergency authority to require that dealers near
the Mexican border report multiple purchases of
high powered rifles.
According to a notice published Friday in the
Federal Register, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives has asked the White
House to approve a requirement that border-area
gun dealers report the sales of two or more rifles
to the same customer within a five-day period.
The move by ATF, intended to help Mexican
authorities in their campaign against violent drug
gangs, is likely to face stiff opposition from gun
rights advocates.

Happy Winter Solstice
Editor,
I certainly don’t want to spoil any-
one’s holidays. The celebration of
the “rebirth of the sun” Dec. 25 has
a long, well-documented history of
about 6,000 years.
Even before the ancient Romans
celebrated this time of year with
their Saturnalia festival, celebrating
the return of their sun god Saturn,
the older Persian religion of
Mithraism had celebrated the resur-
rection of their sun god, Mithra, who
was born of a virgin.
According to ancient texts, Mithra’s
birth was witnessed by numerous
shepherds who spread the word of
‘Parents honestly may not have much control if

Saturday night and hit the San Bruno Hooters for a

children. A complaint filed last
week by NOW with several Bay

Facebook’s Zuckerberg visits China

BEIJING — Facebook CEO Mark

Barack Obama signed a bill last week
that will keep Bush-era income tax cuts
in place for another two years. The law
will also extend favorable tax rates on
capital gains and dividends.
“The markets ... made quite a run,”
said Stephen Carl, principal and head of
equity trading at The Williams Capital
Group. But the tax cuts “can only go so
far,” Carl said, and are unlikely to con-

The mortgages were so named
because their terms allowed borrowers
to make payments at various levels each
month, including a payment option that
increased the loan’s principal by cover-

The payments also ballooned to high-
er rates after a set period, leaving many
borrowers unable to continue paying,

Gas demand should fall for good after ’06 peak
By Jonathan Fahey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The world’s biggest gas-
guzzling nation has limits after all.
After seven decades of mostly uninterrupted
growth, U.S. gasoline demand is at the start of
a long-term decline. By 2030, Americans will
burn at least 20 percent less gasoline than today,
experts say, even as millions of more cars clog
the roads.
The country’s thirst for gasoline is shrinking
as cars and trucks become more fuel-efficient,
the government mandates the use of more
ethanol and people drive less.
“A combination of demographic change and
policy change means the heady days of gasoline
growing in the U.S. are over,” says Daniel
Yergin, chairman of IHS Cambridge Energy
Research Associates and author of a Pulitzer
Prize-winning history of the oil industry.
This isn’t the first time in U.S. history that
gasoline demand has fallen, at least temporari-
ly. Drivers typically cut back during recessions,
then hit the road again when the economy picks
up. Indeed, the Great Recession was the chief
reason demand fell sharply in 2008.
But this time looks different. Government
and industry officials — including the CEO of
Exxon Mobil — say U.S. gasoline demand has
peaked for good. It has declined four years in a
row and will not reach the 2006 level again,
even when the economy fully recovers.
In fact, the ground was shifting before the
recession. The 2001 terrorist attacks, the war in
Iraq, Hurricane Katrina and pump prices rising
to a nationwide average of $3 a gallon for the
first time in a generation reignited public
debates about the political and economic effects
of oil imports and climate change. Also, the
popularity of SUVs began to wane, and the
government started requiring refiners to blend
corn-based ethanol into every gallon of gaso-
line.
Americans are burning an average of 8.2 mil-
lion barrels — 344 million gallons — of gaso-

line per day in 2010, a figure that excludes the
ethanol blended into gasoline. That’s 8 percent
less than at the 2006 peak, according to govern-
ment data.
The decline is expected to accelerate for sev-
eral reasons.
• Starting with the 2012 model year, cars will
have to hit a higher fuel economy target for the
first time since 1990. Each carmaker’s fleet
must average 30.1 mpg, up from 27.5. By the
2016 model year, that number must rise to 35.5
mpg. And, starting next year, SUVs and mini-
vans, once classified as trucks, will count
toward passenger vehicle targets.
• The auto industry is introducing cars that
run partially or entirely on electricity, and the
federal government is providing billions of dol-
lars in subsidies to increase production and spur
sales.
• By 2022, the country’s fuel mix must
include 36 billion gallons of ethanol and other
biofuels, up from 14 billion gallons in 2011. Put
another way, biofuels will account for roughly
one of every four gallons sold at the pump.
• Gasoline prices are forecast to stay high as
developing economies in Asia and the Middle
East use more oil.
There are demographic factors at work, too.
Baby boomers will drive less as they age. The
surge of women entering the work force and
commuting in recent decades has leveled off.
And the era of Americans commuting ever far-
ther distances appears to be over. One measure
of this, vehicle miles traveled per licensed driv-
er, began to flatten in the middle of the last
decade after years of sharp growth.
“People wildly underestimate the effect that
all this is going to have” on gasoline demand,
says Paul Sankey, an analyst at Deutsche Bank.
Sankey predicts by 2030 America will use just
5.4 million barrels a day, the same as in 1969.

UConn women a win away from new record
By Doug Feinberg

NEW YORK — UCLA’s 88-game
winning streak had just been snapped
by Notre Dame in 1974 when Bruins
coach John Wooden was asked how
long it would be before somebody

There is no dispute, however, that
the streak has raised the profile of
women’s basketball by daring to
compare UConn’s accomplishment to
one of the most revered numbers in
sports history orchestrated by one of
its most hallowed figures.
“Whether you agree or disagree
with the time, the era, the competitive
balance — whatever your take on it
is, you can put any spin you want on
it,” Auriemma said. “You can make it
better, the same or less — it’s just a
matter of how you look at it.”

instrumental in the Bruins’ run, said
his former coach — who died earlier

Cup is now Rhode Island

By Eric Tucker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NORTH SMITHFIELD, R.I. —
Newport is a top contender to host the
next America’s Cup in 2013, but
organizers say they want assurances
that the city can speed up and com-
plete renovations on the fort that
would serve as a village-type environ-
ment for the competitors.
Tom Ehman, a board member of
the Golden Gate Yacht Club, attended
a meeting Monday of the state’s
Economic Development Corporation,
where he said organizers were serious
about working with Newport on their
proposal. But he stressed that no final
decision had been made, and while
meeting later with reporters, declined
to identify Newport as the front-run-
ner.
Still, he struck an optimistic tone
about the Ocean State’s prospects of
winning back the world’s most presti-
gious sailing competition, which it
hosted from 1930 to 1983. He said he
appreciated the statewide enthusiasm
for sailing and that hosting the event
could bring an enormous economic
impact to tiny Rhode Island, which
has 11.6 percent unemployment.
“We’re serious in our intent to
move forward with Rhode Island,”
Ehman said as he presented a letter
with the same message from Stephen
Barclay, a fellow Golden Gate Yacht
Club board member and chief operat-
ing officer of BMW Oracle Racing,
the defending champions. “We think
we can do good things for Rhode
Island and good things for the cup.”
Rhode Island officials have cen-
tered their proposal around Fort
Adams State Park, a sprawling prop-
erty that offers panoramic views of
Newport Harbor. It hosts the annual
Newport folk and jazz festivals and
would be used as a sort of village for
the competition and fans. Ehman said
organizers would need assurances
that the planned infrastructure
improvements at the park could be
ready in time for the 2013 event and
even for preliminary regattas before
that.
Newport, about 30 miles south of
Providence, has been vying with San
Francisco and other locations to host
the 34th America’s Cup, one of the
world’s largest sporting events. A

Software mogul Larry Ellison’s
BMW Oracle Racing team won back
the trophy for the United States last
February when it swept Alinghi of
Switzerland off Valencia, Spain. The
winning team historically gets to pick
the venue.
San Francisco was announced in
July as the only U.S. city under con-
sideration to host the cup. But
Newport, which is nicknamed The
City by the Sea, got another shot this
month when San Francisco’s bid
appeared to falter because of a con-
tract deemed too financially risky for
the America’s Cup Event Authority,
which has been contracted by the
GGYC to run the regatta.
OAKLAND — Kevin Martin
made a tying basket and a go-ahead
3-pointer in crunch time on the way
to 30 points, and the Houston
Rockets won for the fifth time in six
games, beating the short-handed
Golden State Warriors 121-112 on
Monday night.
Luis Scola had 20 points with a
key late jump hook, nine rebounds
and six assists. Chuck Hayes added
12 points and 10 rebounds for the
Rockets, who have won eight of 11
this month.
Monta Ellis scored 44 points —
nine straight during a key fourth-
quarter stretch — for his third 40-
point game of the season. He added
seven assists, but the Warriors lost
for the 14th time in 16 games and
for the sixth time in seven at Oracle
Arena after beginning 5-0 on their
home floor.
Kyle Lowry made two free throws
with 1:54 to play after Golden
State’s Vladimir Radmanovic threw
him down and was whistled for a
flagrant foul. Lowry finished with
13 points and eight assists, and
Shane Battier scored 14 points as all
five starters reached double figures.

won Sunday night at Sacramento,
will try for a road sweep on this
California swing Wednesday
against the Los Angeles Clippers.
David Lee added 19 points and
Golden State got a big boost from
rookie Ekpe Udoh off the bench.
Udoh, playing just his fourth game
after missing five months following
surgery on his injured left wrist,
made a one-handed putback dunk
with 9:34 to play, then had a key
block on the other end moments
later. He had five points, seven
rebounds and four assists in 25 min-
utes.
After Udoh’s dunk, Ellis hit a
tying 3-pointer and a pull-up jumper
the next time down to put the
Warriors up 89-87 with 8:31 left.

RAIDERS
Continued from page 12
seasons before turning things around a bit this season.
For players like Pro Bowl cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, who
was a rookie in 2003 when the streak of losing began, this kind of
season is long overdue.
“The whole atmosphere is different,” Asomugha said. “In
December the weather is pretty gloomy and that makes our mood
gloomy — we’re not winning and all that stuff. We’re offsetting the
weather now. Everybody’s happy. Everybody’s excited and we have
something to play for. It’s great for us. It’s great for the mood of the
team.”
Oakland (7-7) remained in contention by beating Denver 39-23
on Sunday. But in order to win the AFC West and make the playoffs
for the first time since 2002, the Raiders will need plenty of help.
First, they need first-place Kansas City (9-5) to lose at home
Sunday to Tennessee and have second-place San Diego (8-6) lose
one of its final two road games at a pair of three-win teams:
Cincinnati and Denver.
None of that will matter if the Raiders can’t beat Indianapolis at
home this week and then win the season finale at Kansas City.
“Just win these last two and let everything else take care of itself,”
fullback Marcel Reece said. “We have to take care of our business
and not worry about San Diego, not worry about Kansas City. Just
week of the season.”
If the Raiders do win their final two games but fail to get the help
they need, they would become the first team since the NFL went to
divisions in 1967 to win all their division games but fail to make the
playoffs.
After going 8-34 in the division the past seven years, Cable put an
emphasis in training camp on beating the AFC West rivals.
“Doesn’t mean anything if we are at home, watching Kansas City
in the playoffs,” defensive tackle Tommy Kelly said. “It’s something
nice to say, but at the end of the day it doesn’t mean anything. You
don’t even get a T-shirt.”
If the Raiders do fall short, they will likely point to some missed
opportunities out of the division that cost them the spot.
Sebastian Janikowski missed a 32-yard field goal at the end of a
24-23 loss at Arizona back in week 3. Then Oakland lost to then-
winless San Francisco 17-9 in a game filled with missed opportuni-
ties.
There were also home losses to Houston and Miami and then the
38-31 loss at Jacksonville on Dec. 12 when Oakland blew a 10-point
lead and then allowed the winning score late in the fourth quarter
just after tying the game up.
“You sit around and think, ’God what if we’d done that or that,”’
Cable said. “But you can’t. At some point you have to stop and say,
’This is reality, this is where we’re at and this is what we control.’
Let’s worry about what we control. That other stuff hopefully will
work out for us.”

Nuns’Honus Wagner
card goes to new buyer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE — It’s been a blessed year
for the School Sisters of Notre Dame, who
catapulted to prominence when they put a rare
Honus Wagner baseball card up for auction to
support their charitable mission.
Problem was, the winning bidder never paid
up.
On Monday, the Baltimore-based order of
Roman Catholic nuns got their $220,000 —
the original bid — but have a different collec-

the varsity team as a sophomore. Because of the
presence of France and Dunne, Sena did not have
to be the focal point, although he clearly became a
No. 1 option as early as his junior season, when he
led the team in carries.
“Even his sophomore year, he had that one-
strike capability,” Ballard said of Sena’s ability to
score any time he touched the ball. “You might
stop him for one or two plays, but that one mistake
he might pop for a touchdown.”
Making Sena’s season all the more impressive is
the fact that he is not the biggest back in the world.
At 5-foot-7 and 175 pounds, one would think Sena
would be ripe for a pounding. But his dedication
in the weight room to be as strong as possible
helped make up for his size, as did the fact he sel-
dom took the full brunt of a tackle. Sena’s goal
was to never let a defender get a clean, square hit
on him.
That caused quite a dilemma for defenses
because Sena was a human pinball on the field. It
was not uncommon to see Sena burst through the
line of scrimmage, run over a defender and then
bounce off a couple more before being brought
down.
“He has an incredible work ethic,” Ballard said.
“He’s the strongest player on our team — by far
— in almost every category.
“He’s really compact and what he really worked

course of the season versus a single round in
the playoffs was the deciding factor.
Other decisions were almost no brainers.
The cross country selections were clearly the
best, as was the selection for the girls’ water

school history.
Whether you agree or disagree with the

regardless of sport or gender — gave all they

I received quite a bit of feedback from my
Dec. 7 column regarding the officiating dur-

to coaching staffs and schools to teach the

as well as how far they can push the issue.
But sometimes, everybody loses it every

Owens signed a one-year deal with a $2

LOCAL / SPORTS
teams interested. He proved he could still
play, leading the team with 72 catches for 983
yards and nine touchdowns.
He ranked among the NFL’s top six
receivers in yards and catches heading into the
game against Cleveland. He’s a free agent
after the season, and hopes to play for two or
three more years.
Despite Owens’ big numbers, the Bengals
(3-11) had one of their worst seasons. The vic-
tory over Cleveland ended a 10-game losing
streak that matched the longest in club history
for one season. They finish at home against
San Diego (8-6) and at Baltimore (10-4).
Hester breaks record
with 14th career return TD
MINNEAPOLIS — Devin Hester has set
the NFL record with his 14th career return for
a touchdown.
Hester returned a punt 64 yards in the third
quarter on Monday night, giving the Chicago
Bears a 27-7 lead over the Minnesota Vikings.
Hester fielded a line drive punt from Chris
Kluwe and ran right up the sideline virtually
untouched for the score.
Brian Mitchell held the previous record
with 13, which Hester tied with an 89-yard
punt return against Seattle in Week 6. Hester
has returned 10 punts and four kickoffs for
TDs in just 74 career games. His 108-yard
return of a missed field goal in the 2007 Super
Bowl does not count in that total.
Mitchell played in 223 career games.

Got a cold? Echinacea won’t help much
By Stephanie Nano
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Got the sniffles? The largest study of the
popular herbal remedy echinacea finds it won’t help you get
better any sooner.
The study of more than 700 adults and children suggests the
tiniest possible benefit — about a half-day shaved off a week-
long cold and slightly milder symptoms. But that could have
occurred by chance.
For most people, the potential to get relief a few hours soon-
er probably isn’t worth the trouble and cost of taking the sup-
plement, researchers said.
With no cure for the common cold, Americans spend bil-
lions on over-the-counter pills, drops, sprays and other con-
coctions to battle their runny noses, scratchy throats and nag-
ging coughs. Some turn to echinacea, a top seller marketed as
a product that helps the immune system fight infections.
In the past, some studies found it did nothing to prevent or
treat colds; others showed modest benefit. Research on echi-
nacea, also known as purple coneflower, is hard to compare
because there’s more than one kind of plant, and different parts
of it are used.
With government funding, Dr. Bruce Barrett and colleagues
at the University of Wisconsin tackled the question again,
using newspaper ads and posters to find volunteers with colds
in the Madison, Wis., area.
The participants ages 12 to 80 were randomly assigned to
get echinacea tablets, a dummy pill or no treatment at all.
Those who got the herb took the equivalent of 10 grams of
dried echinacea root the first day and 5 grams the next four
days.
Twice a day, they graded their symptoms until their cold was
gone.
From those scores, the researchers saw a trend toward short-
er and slightly less severe colds for those taking echinacea
compared to those who didn’t. However, the results did not
reach statistical significance, meaning they could have
occurred by chance. There were no apparent side effects from
the echinacea.
Barrett and other experts said the findings would probably
be viewed as positive by echinacea supporters but as the “nail
in the coffin” by critics.
“It’s not a compelling result in either direction,” said Mark
Blumenthal, executive director of the American Botanical
Council, which follows research on herbal products. He said
Barrett is on the group’s advisory board.
Blumenthal said the study was well designed, used a good
quality product at a reasonable dosage and tested echinacea in
a real-world setting, rather than giving colds to research vol-
unteers.
HEALTH
Echinacea is derived from the purple coneflower,but there is
more than one plant used to make the remedy and different
parts are used.
The study’s findings were released Monday by the Annals of
Internal Medicine. The authors include the co-founder of the
Australian company that provided the echinacea for the study,
but he was not involved in the research.
It was funded by the National Center of Complementary and
Alternative Medicine, part of the National Institutes of Health.
The center, set up to test herbs and other alternative health
remedies, has spent $6.8 million testing echinacea since 2002.
The center’s director, Dr. Josephine Briggs, said there are no
plans to support more human research on echinacea.
“I think what we’re seeing is pretty clear. If there’s a benefit
of echinacea, it’s very modest, Briggs said.
So what’s a cold sufferer to do?
“There’s nothing that’s going to make it go away,” said Dr.
Ronald Turner, of the University of Virginia School of
Medicine. He led another government-funded study of echi-
nacea that had negative results.
Some over-the-counter medications ease the symptoms a
bit, he said. Americans spent $5.3 billion on cold and cough
remedies at major U.S. stores in the year ending Nov. 27,
according to The Nielsen Co. (Cold and cough medicines
are no longer recommended for children under 4.)
And don’t go running to the doctor for antibiotics, said Dr.
Ann Falsey of the University of Rochester Medical Center.

side effects.
Rest, fluids, pain relievers and over-the-counter medications
to relieve symptoms are generally recommended.
On Saturday, Kyle Cummings stood bewildered before a sea
of products that filled an aisle at a drug store in New York’s
Pennsylvania Station. The 21-year-old New Yorker had a sore
throat and stuffy nose.
“I don’t know what to get,” said Cummings, who blamed his
cold on hunting for a second job without a winter coat.
He couldn’t take anything that would make him drowsy
while at work in customer service at a bank. He settled on a
Robitussin product.
Minutes later, two sniffling 16-year-old classmates, Kelly
Malico and Sietske Ruijgh from New York’s Long Island,
stopped for cough drops.
“There’s nothing you can really do,” shrugged Kelly, who
blamed her friend for sharing her cold.
Another cold sufferer, Jay Jarutat, grabbed some Vicks
VapoRub off the shelf at her doctor’s suggestion. She had been
sick for a week and had taken off a couple of days from her job
at a recording studio.
“I don’t really get that much rest,” the 34-year-old said in a
whisper because of laryngitis. “Rest, rest, rest, rest, and this is
going to help.”
By Monday, she was feeling better and back at work.
What do the pros do?
“I’m pretty old-fashioned. I put a warm sock around my
throat, and I use honey and tea and lemon,” said the govern-
ment’s Briggs.
Blumenthal of the Botanical Council takes echinacea and
other herbs as well. “I hedge my bets,” he said.
And Wisconsin’s Barrett?
“I use ginger tea. It hasn’t ever been proven in anyway what-
soever. But I like it.”

Movie-style special effects give girl new ear
By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Elise Lutz never let her
friends see what was left of her ear.
She’d carefully style her long hair into a
one-sided ponytail, or swelter under a swim
cap for hours at meets, to cover the molten
lump from a severe burn as a toddler in her
native China.
But as a teenager, the North Carolina girl
expressed her desire to be whole again with a
simple request: She really wanted pierced ear-
rings. Thus began a months-long quest for a
new right ear, one made of silicone but so life-
like that it even glows a bit in the sun like real
skin.
Elise benefited from a little known field
called anaplastology, where medical artists
make Hollywood-like special effects come
alive to fix disfigurements that standard plas-
tic surgery cannot.
“It kind of took forever, but it was worth it,”
says Elise, 14, as she headed to show her
transformation to her dad and sisters. “I’m so
excited, I’m more than 100 excited.”
No messy glue-on prosthetic that she might
accidentally knock off. Elise had tried that
once and hated it. This time, she would go
under the knife to have rods implanted in her
skull to snap her new ear into place — and
hold it even when this passionate swimmer
dives into the pool.
“People who have implant-retained ears or
noses or whatever usually think of them real-
ly as their own body,” says Jerry Schoendorf,
who with his colleague at The Anaplastology
Clinic in Durham, N.C., — and surgeons at
nearby Duke University Medical Center —

created Elise’s ear.
“It’s the Rolls Royce of what we can offer,”
adds fellow anaplastologist Jay McClennen.
Facial prosthetics — made to counter dam-
age from cancer, trauma, birth defects —
haven’t gained the attention of artificial legs
and arms. The specialists who craft them can
be hard to find: The International
Anaplastology Association counts just 150
members worldwide.
But facial prosthetics are becoming more
realistic and longer-lasting, and Elise’s jour-
ney offers a glimpse of the tricks that help:
Titanium rods adapted from dentistry that
bond with bone to hold them in place. More
flexible silicones. Even “flocking,” using
those nylon particles that make the velvety
insides of jewelry boxes can help give silicone
“skin” more dimension — and not in flesh
tones, but flecks of bright reds, plums, blues,
oranges.
Patients “can’t believe all those colors go
into making that skin,” says McClennen, who
now fixes faces using techniques honed in
previous careers to “age” actors in the movies,
and in forensic reconstruction.
No one knows for sure how Elise was
burned. Probably, boiling water sloshed down
her head and right side, says Kim Williams of
Wake Forest, N.C., who with her husband
adopted Elise from a Chinese orphanage at
age 9. Plastic surgery enabled hair to cover the
scar-riddled right side of her scalp, a shield as
Elise learned English and met new friends.
Plastic surgeons started but abandoned ear
reconstruction. Prosthetics made to glue on
daily are a more common option, especially
for cancer patients whose doctors need to reg-
ularly check for recurrences. But that didn’t
work for Elise. Her scars interfered with a
remove dirt and debris from cow carcasses
before the hides are removed. Most beef
processors wash the animal’s carcass only
after the hide is gone.
In 2009, the plant, Beef Packers Inc., volun-
tarily recalled nearly 826,000 pounds of
ground beef due to salmonella fears. The U.S.
Department of Agriculture had expressed con-
cern about the facility’s animal handling prac-
tices the previous year.
The plant processes more than 1 million
pounds of beef per day.

straight fit, and crusty adhesive lined edges
where she didn’t clean the prosthetic well
enough.
Then Schoendorf suggested an implant-
retained ear: It would cost about $8,000 to
$10,000, nearly double an adhesive-retained
prosthesis, plus surgery. But where a glue-on
ear prosthetic might last about three years
before wearing out, the implant-retained one
should last twice as long, he says.
Replacements will fit onto those same rods,
making surgery a one-time hurdle.
In June, Schoendorf and McClennen made
a precise mold of where a new ear implant
would need to fit. With the residual ear tissue
carefully removed, Duke otolaryngologist Dr.
Face transplant patient
meets her donor’s family
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The nation’s first face transplant patient has
said a donor saved her from a life of eating
and breathing through a tube, but until this
weekend she knew her only as a woman who
died in 2008.
Two years after Anna Kasper’s face was
merged with the remnants of Connie Culp’s,
Kasper’s family decided to reveal she was the
donor, so that others can know the generous
woman they loved.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
David Kaylie then drilled tiny titanium posts
into Elise’s skull. They barely emerge from
the skin.
Over the next few months, bone cells called
osteoblasts will fuse with the titanium to
anchor those rods, he told her.
“If you wiggle it while it’s healing, that pre-
vents those osteoblasts from growing in,”
Kaylie cautions. “They really have to keep
their hands off.”
Back at The Anaplastology Clinic,
McClennen was sculpting the ear that eventu-
ally would hook onto those rods with a mere
three clicks. Elise’s has a bar on the back to
snap it on; noses especially are starting to be
made with magnets for attachment.
Coloring brings out the true art. In the
1990s, as part of a team working on movies
like “Nixon” and “Legends of the Fall,”
McClennen learned to impregnate colorless
silicone with a mix of colors so the finished
prosthetic required only thin glazing and not
heavy paint. Harder acrylic threaded through
the rubbery silicone like cartilage holds the
retention bar and, with a technique gleaned at
a cancer center in Toronto, McClennen used
the right color to mimic that red glow when
sunlight shines behind the ear.
Blending where the edges meet real skin is
crucial, as is managing expectations,
Schoendorf says: “As good as it is, it’s not
perfect.”
The day before Thanksgiving, Elise’s new
ear is ready to attach, complete with earring
hole. She practices clicking it on, surprised
that it’s easy, and smiles into the mirror, hair
tucked back.
“This one looks fantastic,” she later pro-
claims.
“She’d give her time. She’d give her money.
She gave a lot of things she didn’t have to

FDA cracks down on illegal supplements
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug
Administration is cracking down on manufac-
turers of certain weight loss, body building
and sexual enhancement supplements that
contain potentially dangerous ingredients.
The FDA said Wednesday that some manu-
facturers are deceptively labeling products to
hide that they contain ingredients known to
cause adverse health effects. Other supple-
ments contain ingredients that should only be
available by prescription.
“These tainted products can cause serious
adverse effects, including strokes, organ fail-
ure, and death,” said FDA Commissioner
Margaret Hamburg. “The manufacturers sell-
ing these tainted products are operating out-
side the law.”
Dietary supplements can slip through the
regulatory cracks because, unlike drugs, they
do not have to be approved by the FDA before
they are marketed. Manufacturers are respon-
sible for making sure their products are safe.

get-together went well after some initially
awkward moments.
“They’re just really nice people,” Culp said.
“It’s awesome, how much we have in com-
mon.”

“These tainted products can cause serious adverse effects,
including strokes,organ failure,and death.The manufacturers
selling these tainted products are operating outside the law.”
The FDA has pressured companies to recall
nearly 200 inappropriately–formulated prod-
ucts since 2007, including 80 that were mar-
keted as body building supplements, accord-
ing to the agency. The recalled products were
linked to reports of stroke, kidney failure,
liver injury and death.
Government regulators do not have the
power to force companies to recall products,
and instead the FDA usually issues warning
letters to draw attention to illegal products.
In a letter to the supplement industry, the
agency said manufacturers who distribute
tainted products could face criminal prosecu-
tion.
Executives from the supplement industry
said they support the FDA crackdown and
Kasper, says she can see part of her mother in
Culp, though their bone structures are differ-
ent.
“I can definitely see the resemblance in the
nose,” she told The Plain Dealer. “I know
she’s smiling down on this, that she’s very
happy.”
Culp’s husband shot her in the face in 2004.
The blast destroyed her nose, shattered her
cheeks and shut off most of her vision. Her
features were so gnarled that children ran
away from her and called her a monster.
After Kasper died of a heart attack in 2008,
— Margaret Hamburg,FDA Commissioner
would share the letter with companies.
“The spiking of supplements with drugs is a
crime, it endangers the public and undermines
our members and other legitimate manufac-
turers and retailers of supplements,” said John
Gay, executive director of the Natural
Products Association, on a media call with
FDA leadership.
The FDA said the agency is targeting
weight loss products containing sibutramine,
which has been withdrawn from the market
for causing increased risk of heart attack and
stroke. The agency said it has discovered
“dozens of products” that contain the ingredi-
ent, including those marketed under the brand
names Slimming Beauty, Solo Slim and
Slim–30.
a donor specialist approached Kasper’s family
about donating her face.
Her family had already agreed to give away
her heart, her kidney, her liver and her eyes.
“My mom would say, ‘Hell if I can’t use it
and somebody else can, they can have it,’”
Becky Kasper recalled.
Kasper’s family decided to donate her face
within minutes. She was an organ donor and
she was a match. She wanted to be cremated,
so there were no worries over an open casket.
“But the overriding factor was we knew it

Body building products under scrutiny
include those containing anabolic steroids or
steroid analogs. The agency cited Tren
Xtreme, ArimaDex, and Clomed as supple-
ments that have been labeled to contain those
products.
The agency also warned consumers to be
wary of sexual enhancement products that
include similar ingredients to the approved
drugs Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra. Those ingre-
dients should only be available by prescrip-
tion. The FDA said products marketed under
the names Vigor–25, Duro Extend Capsules
for Men, and Magic Power Coffee have been
determined to be in violation of federal law.
“Consumers should avoid products market-
ed as supplements that claim to have effects
similar to prescription drugs,” said Michael
Levy, director of labeling compliance for the
agency. “Consumers should also be wary of
products with labeling only in a foreign lan-
guage or that are marketed through mass
e–mails.”
Kasper said.
Kasper lived in Lakewood, Ohio, with her
family. She cared for nursing home patients,
delivered pizza and cleaned offices.
After meeting with Culp this weekend, Ron
Kasper told The Plain Dealer that the two
women share much more than a face.
“Connie’s like Anna in a lot of ways,” he
said, “as far as her personality and how much
she enjoys life and how she smiles and is still
able to have such a great attitude after every-
thing she’s been through and she takes every-
thing in stride.”

of numerous pieces of jewelry, an Apple
iPod and cash stolen from the residence,
according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Patterson, married with two children,
had just left the home before the sus-
pects tried to gain entry, she said.
“They must have been staking out the
home because they entered it quickly
after I left,” Patterson said.
Patterson credits neighbor Rachel
Levine for noticing the incident and
then promptly calling police.
“It was great timing. Almost miracu-
“I wasn’t gone more than 10 min-
utes,” Patterson said.
The two neighbors have been friendly
in the past, both volunteering together at
a local elementary school, but Patterson
said the incident will bring them even
closer together.
Patterson is also grateful to police
who arrived to the scene within five
minutes of Levine’s 911 call.
The San Carlos Police Department
was recently dissolved and the city con-
tracts with the Sheriff’s Office for police
services now.
“There has been some bad press relat-
ed to police but they got there fast
holiday spirit,” he said.
Patterson said.
“Hopefully, this will put neighbor’s at
ease. They caught the guy,” Patterson
said.
The arrested juvenile was transported
to the San Mateo County Youth Services
Center and booked on burglary, posses-
sion of stolen property and resisting
arrest charges, according to the Sheriff’s
Office.
The second suspect is described as a
tall, slender Hispanic male with black
hair, a thin face and wearing a maroon

COOKIE
Continued from page 1
Each inmate will receive 10 cookies.
There are lemon cookies, chocolate
chip, snickerdoodles, lemon squares and
peanut butter with jelly in the middle.
“We’ve got everything you can person-
ally imagine,” said head chef Adam
Weiner.
It got too late to make fudge — maybe
next year, Weiner mused.
Because there will be a next year.
“It is absolutely amazing to do this. We
teach from day one that food is love and to
be able to demonstrate that is wonderful,”
he said.
The joy of the project isn’t one-sided,
either.
“The beauty of the cooking project is
that it is a wonderful win-win situation,”
said Weiner, pointing to the skills his stu-
dents learn while mass producing a wide
variety of cookies.
“It is wonderful to be able to help teach
my students how to improve their lives
and at the same time share a little of the
ATTORNEY
Continued from page 3
The proposed contract with the 51-
year-old is a three-year agreement under
which Zafferano would be paid $180,300
annually. His pay would be reduced 3.03
percent during this fiscal year, the equiv-
alent to 63 hours of furlough, which San
Bruno officials implemented for most
employees to save cash. Zafferano is
entitled to a $300 monthly car allowance.
San Bruno would also cover Zafferano’s
The now-annual baking frenzy began
two years ago when the Service League,
the nonprofit that coordinates jail services
in San Mateo County, approached Weiner
Dec. 22 and asked for 1,000 cookies.
The group needed 6,000 and was 3,000
short but only asked for that minimum.
But Weiner asked, how many do you
need?
The next day had another question:
what did his students think of the proposi-
tion? Could they churn out 3,000 cookies
in two days?
“One student said those cookies were
the only gift he got last year,” Weiner said.
Needless to say, the class succeeded and
a tradition was born.
Last year, the group started a bit early
and baked 5,000 cookies. This year, it
began in mid-November, turning out
cookies while waiting for other items to
bake or dough to rise. The students,
Weiner said, learned lessons not only in
mass production — a skill you don’t get in
most culinary institutes — but also in
maximizing their time.
“They’re learning that nobody’s going
to pay them to sit around,” Weiner said.
JobTrain already has an established
conference costs, annual professional
association dues and provide a laptop and
cell phone, according to the contract.
Zafferano grew up in Sacramento. He
holds a bachelor’s degree from Stanford
University and earned his law degree
from the University of California at
Berkeley. He joined the San Carlos-
based Aaronson Dickerson Cohn &
Lanzone in 1987, becoming a partner in
1991. He has served as deputy city attor-
ney for Half Moon Bay, Woodside, San
Carlos and Foster City. Currently, he
serves as city attorney for Belmont, a
position he’s held since 2005.
The Belmont City Council met in
rectional facilities. For instance, in
January, Weiner and the Sheriff’s Office
created a culinary program that tracks
JobTrain’s regular Culinary Arts curricu-
lum and prepares inmates for jobs after
incarceration. In August, the partnership
was highlighted with a culinary cook-off
involving student inmates partnered with
county law enforcement and other offi-
cials.
The relationship continues with the hol-
iday cookies. The last month or so, Weiner
launched a friendly competition between
women and men inmates to see how many
cookies they could turn out in a half-day.
The group is now looking forward to see-
ing the cookies they made returned in
individual bags for themselves and others
at each of the county’s adult and juvenile
correctional facilities.
Several of those who received cookies
previously now participate in JobTrain’s
culinary program. Others just recall the
treats fondly.
“So many people walk up to me and say
‘hey man you’re responsible for my
Christmas present. That was the only indi-
cation someone outside there really cared
about me,’” Weiner remembered.
closed session Monday to discuss filling
his position. Zafferano noted the start
date with San Bruno has not been set
allowing the two cities to work together
in the process.
Aside from legal work, Zafferano
coaches the Westmoor High School
mock trial team, a position he’s held for
17 years. He also created and works with
the Tierra Linda Middle School Math
Club. Zafferano began helping at Tierra
Linda when his daughter, currently a
sophomore at the University of
California at Los Angeles, attended
school there.

Tuesday, Dec. 21, 2010
It is best to discuss your objectives only with persons you can
completely trust, so if you have something big in the making,
be a bit more secretive. A pal could unwittingly reveal your
plans to those who would steal it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - You might think you’re
being clever when you attempt to camouflage a selfish act
from others, but there will be someone who has your number
who will out you the moment you try.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - It’s OK to be both realistic
and optimistic over the outcome of something important. If
you don’t base your instincts only on wishful thinking, every-
thing should come out fine.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Anything you borrow must
be treated with the respect you would give to one of your
prized possessions. If anything unfortunate should happen to
it, it’ll be your responsibility to replace it.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Be cognizant at all times of
the details, not just the big picture, if you hope to assess an
important matter correctly. Don’t let unimportant side issues
distort your logical judgment.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Usually you know what to keep
secret and what can be told. This day, however, you might
have a difficult time keeping the cat ensconced in the bag if
the story is a bit too juicy to keep to yourself.
easily handle, but not you. Keep in mind your financial limita-
tions, and abide by them.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Talking about your goals might
make for some interesting conversations and make you look
like a high achiever, but unless you actually do what you say,
it’ll be nothing but chatter.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Asking others to do things for
you that you can easily do for yourself will only make you
look like a user. Don’t impose yourself on anybody unless you
really need some help.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Nothing could be more foolish than
to take a gamble on something another wants to do that is
completely out of your control. If you want to take a chance,
make sure you’re calling the shots.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Don’t solicit advice from just
anybody, make sure to hit up someone you believe can help.
Counsel from the wrong person could complicate your affairs
and put you in a bigger bind.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Keep your mind on your work at
all times, even if you are performing a task that is familiar
and routine. Carelessness could generate all kinds of unex-
pected problems.
Previous
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Make sure that the person
who is usually looking the other way or has left the table Sudoku
when the tab arrives pays his/her fair share when out with

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Don’t permit yourself to get

friends. Don’t let him/her freeload this time. answers

Dozen arrested in
UK terrorism plot
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — In the biggest anti-terrorist sweep in nearly
two years, British police on Monday netted a dozen men
accused of plotting a large-scale terror attack on targets inside
the United Kingdom.
The raid was thought to be linked to UK targets only and not
part of a larger threat to other European countries, security
officials said.
Police who swooped in on the men’s houses early in the
morning were unarmed, suggesting any planned attack was not
imminent and the suspects were not believed armed. Police
were heavily criticized in 2006 when they shot an unarmed
suspect in a similar counterterrorism raid. Only a fraction of
Britain’s police officers are armed.
The men were arrested in London, the Welsh city of Cardiff
and the English cities of Birmingham and Stoke-on-Trent and
the raid was the largest since April 2009, when 12 men were
detained over an alleged al-Qaida bomb plot in the northern
city of Manchester.
Counterterrorism officials declined to give more details of
the alleged plot, saying only that the men had been under sur-
veillance for several weeks — an indication that the plot could
have been in its planning stages. No details were given as to
whether explosives or arms were found.

N.Korea backs off attack threat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
YEONPYEONG ISLAND, South Korea — North Korea
backed off threats to retaliate against South Korea for military
drills Monday and reportedly offered concessions on its nuclear
program — signs it was looking to lower the temperature on the
Korean peninsula after weeks of soaring tensions.
But Pyongyang has feinted toward conciliation before and failed
to follow through.
The North’s gestures came after South Korea launched fighter
jets, evacuated hundreds of residents near its tense land border with
the North and sent residents of islands near disputed waters into
underground bunkers in case Pyongyang followed through on its
vow to attack over the drills.
“It appears that deterrence has been restored,” said Daniel
Pinkston, Seoul-based analyst with the International Crisis Group
think tank. “The North Koreans only understand force or show of
force.”
North Korea has previously been accused of using a mix of
aggression and conciliatory gestures to force international negoti-
ations that usually net it much-needed aid. Real progress on efforts
to rid the North of its nuclear weapons programs has been rare.
On Nov. 23, the North shelled Yeonpyeong Island, a tiny enclave
of fishing communities and military bases about seven miles (11
kilometers) from North Korean shores in response to an earlier
round of South Korean live-fire maneuvers. The North’s artillery
barrage killed two marines and two construction workers in its first
Tuesday • Dec. 21, 2010 31
attack targeting civilian areas since the 1950-53 Korean War. That
clash sent tensions soaring between the two countries — which are
still technically at war.
They’ve remained in a tense standoff since then‘, and an emer-
gency meeting of U.N. diplomats in New York on Sunday failed to
find any solution to the crisis.
But Monday brought some of the first positive signs in weeks, as
a high-profile American governor announced what he said were
two nuclear concessions from the North.
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, a frequent unofficial envoy
to North Korea and former U.S. ambassador to the U.N., said that
during his visit the North agreed to let U.N. atomic inspectors visit
its main nuclear complex to make sure it’s not producing enriched
uranium for a nuclear bomb, according to a statement from his
office.
The North expelled U.N. inspectors last year, and last month
showed a visiting American scientist a new, highly advanced ura-
nium enrichment facility that could give it a second way to make
atomic bombs, in addition to its plutonium program. Richardson
also said that Pyongyang was willing to sell fresh fuel rods, poten-
tially to South Korea.
“We had positive results,” Richardson told Associated Press
Television News at the Pyongyang airport Monday night.
He had been set to brief reporters in Beijing, but his flight was
canceled.
“This is the way countries are supposed to act,” U.S. State
Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said.

MEXICO CITY — A former Mexican presidential candidate

was freed Monday more than seven months after his kidnap-
ping, telling reporters outside his Mexico City home that he is
well and forgives his captors.
Diego Fernandez de Cevallos, a top Mexican political power
broker who ran unsuccessfully for president in 1994, gave no
details about his abductors in what was the highest-profile and
most brazen kidnapping in Mexico’s recent history.
In a statement, President Felipe Calderon said he talked by
telephone with Fernandez de Cevallos, 69, a leading member
of Calderon’s conservative National Action Party, expressing
his joy at the release of his friend and promising to use the full
force of the law to bring the kidnappers to justice.
The national party, known as PAN, issued a statement call-
ing the seven-month kidnapping “a period of anguish and
worry,” and urging the government to investigate and punish
those responsible “with the ultimate consequences.”
Fernandez de Cevallos had been missing since May, when
his vehicle was found near his ranch in the central state of
Queretaro.
Photos purportedly released by kidnappers over the summer
showed him gaunt, blindfolded and shirtless, raising fears
about his condition. But the cigar-chomping politician
appeared fit and feisty Monday, his signature beard longer and
whiter than in the past.
After he spoke to reporters, he was greeted by a woman in
the garage who hugged him and handed him a bouquet of
roses. He later drove away in his own car.

Front-runner for America’s Ellis’ 44 not enough By Janie McCauley

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Houston pulled off back-to-back
road wins in consecutive nights

Cup is now Rhode Island

By Eric Tucker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NORTH SMITHFIELD, R.I. —
Newport is a top contender to host the
next America’s Cup in 2013, but
organizers say they want assurances
that the city can speed up and com-
plete renovations on the fort that
would serve as a village-type environ-
ment for the competitors.
Tom Ehman, a board member of
the Golden Gate Yacht Club, attended
a meeting Monday of the state’s
Economic Development Corporation,
where he said organizers were serious
about working with Newport on their
proposal. But he stressed that no final
decision had been made, and while
meeting later with reporters, declined
to identify Newport as the front-run-
ner.
Still, he struck an optimistic tone
about the Ocean State’s prospects of
winning back the world’s most presti-
gious sailing competition, which it
hosted from 1930 to 1983. He said he
appreciated the statewide enthusiasm
for sailing and that hosting the event
could bring an enormous economic
impact to tiny Rhode Island, which
has 11.6 percent unemployment.
“We’re serious in our intent to
move forward with Rhode Island,”
Ehman said as he presented a letter
with the same message from Stephen
Barclay, a fellow Golden Gate Yacht
Club board member and chief operat-
ing officer of BMW Oracle Racing,
the defending champions. “We think
we can do good things for Rhode
Island and good things for the cup.”
Rhode Island officials have cen-
tered their proposal around Fort
Adams State Park, a sprawling prop-
erty that offers panoramic views of
Newport Harbor. It hosts the annual
Newport folk and jazz festivals and
would be used as a sort of village for
the competition and fans. Ehman said
organizers would need assurances
that the planned infrastructure
improvements at the park could be
ready in time for the 2013 event and
even for preliminary regattas before
that.
Newport, about 30 miles south of
Providence, has been vying with San
Francisco and other locations to host
the 34th America’s Cup, one of the
world’s largest sporting events. A
venue decision is expected by Dec.
31.
Software mogul Larry Ellison’s
BMW Oracle Racing team won back
the trophy for the United States last
February when it swept Alinghi of
Switzerland off Valencia, Spain. The
winning team historically gets to pick
the venue.
San Francisco was announced in
July as the only U.S. city under con-
sideration to host the cup. But
Newport, which is nicknamed The
City by the Sea, got another shot this
month when San Francisco’s bid
appeared to falter because of a con-
tract deemed too financially risky for
the America’s Cup Event Authority,
which has been contracted by the
GGYC to run the regatta.
OAKLAND — Kevin Martin
made a tying basket and a go-ahead
3-pointer in crunch time on the way
to 30 points, and the Houston
Rockets won for the fifth time in six
games, beating the short-handed
Golden State Warriors 121-112 on
Monday night.
Luis Scola had 20 points with a
key late jump hook, nine rebounds
and six assists. Chuck Hayes added
12 points and 10 rebounds for the
Rockets, who have won eight of 11
this month.
Monta Ellis scored 44 points —
nine straight during a key fourth-
quarter stretch — for his third 40-
point game of the season. He added
seven assists, but the Warriors lost
for the 14th time in 16 games and
for the sixth time in seven at Oracle
Arena after beginning 5-0 on their
home floor.
Kyle Lowry made two free throws
with 1:54 to play after Golden
State’s Vladimir Radmanovic threw
him down and was whistled for a
flagrant foul. Lowry finished with
13 points and eight assists, and
Shane Battier scored 14 points as all
five starters reached double figures.
after beginning the season 3-11
away from home. The Rockets, who
won Sunday night at Sacramento,
will try for a road sweep on this
California swing Wednesday
against the Los Angeles Clippers.
David Lee added 19 points and
Golden State got a big boost from
rookie Ekpe Udoh off the bench.
Udoh, playing just his fourth game
after missing five months following
surgery on his injured left wrist,
made a one-handed putback dunk
with 9:34 to play, then had a key
block on the other end moments
later. He had five points, seven
rebounds and four assists in 25 min-
utes.
After Udoh’s dunk, Ellis hit a
tying 3-pointer and a pull-up jumper
the next time down to put the
Warriors up 89-87 with 8:31 left.
Houston called timeout, then Ellis
had a steal and fast-break dunk.
The Rockets came up with the big
plays the rest of the way to win for
the 11th time in the last 12 meetings
with Golden State. They avenged a
132-128 defeat in Oakland on Oct.
27 in Golden State’s season opener,
when Ellis matched a career high
with 46 points.

RAIDERS
Continued from page 12
seasons before turning things around a bit this season.
For players like Pro Bowl cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, who
was a rookie in 2003 when the streak of losing began, this kind of
season is long overdue.
“The whole atmosphere is different,” Asomugha said. “In
December the weather is pretty gloomy and that makes our mood
gloomy — we’re not winning and all that stuff. We’re offsetting the
weather now. Everybody’s happy. Everybody’s excited and we have
something to play for. It’s great for us. It’s great for the mood of the
team.”
Oakland (7-7) remained in contention by beating Denver 39-23
on Sunday. But in order to win the AFC West and make the playoffs
for the first time since 2002, the Raiders will need plenty of help.
First, they need first-place Kansas City (9-5) to lose at home
Sunday to Tennessee and have second-place San Diego (8-6) lose
one of its final two road games at a pair of three-win teams:
Cincinnati and Denver.
None of that will matter if the Raiders can’t beat Indianapolis at
home this week and then win the season finale at Kansas City.
“Just win these last two and let everything else take care of itself,”
fullback Marcel Reece said. “We have to take care of our business
and not worry about San Diego, not worry about Kansas City. Just
week of the season.”
If the Raiders do win their final two games but fail to get the help
they need, they would become the first team since the NFL went to
divisions in 1967 to win all their division games but fail to make the
playoffs.
After going 8-34 in the division the past seven years, Cable put an
emphasis in training camp on beating the AFC West rivals.
“Doesn’t mean anything if we are at home, watching Kansas City
in the playoffs,” defensive tackle Tommy Kelly said. “It’s something
nice to say, but at the end of the day it doesn’t mean anything. You
don’t even get a T-shirt.”
If the Raiders do fall short, they will likely point to some missed
opportunities out of the division that cost them the spot.
Sebastian Janikowski missed a 32-yard field goal at the end of a
24-23 loss at Arizona back in week 3. Then Oakland lost to then-
winless San Francisco 17-9 in a game filled with missed opportuni-
ties.
There were also home losses to Houston and Miami and then the
38-31 loss at Jacksonville on Dec. 12 when Oakland blew a 10-point
lead and then allowed the winning score late in the fourth quarter
just after tying the game up.
“You sit around and think, ’God what if we’d done that or that,”’
Cable said. “But you can’t. At some point you have to stop and say,
’This is reality, this is where we’re at and this is what we control.’
Let’s worry about what we control. That other stuff hopefully will
work out for us.”

Nuns’Honus Wagner
card goes to new buyer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE — It’s been a blessed year
for the School Sisters of Notre Dame, who
catapulted to prominence when they put a rare
Honus Wagner baseball card up for auction to
support their charitable mission.
Problem was, the winning bidder never paid
up.
On Monday, the Baltimore-based order of
Roman Catholic nuns got their $220,000 —
the original bid — but have a different collec-
SENA
Continued from page 12
the varsity team as a sophomore. Because of the
presence of France and Dunne, Sena did not have
to be the focal point, although he clearly became a
No. 1 option as early as his junior season, when he
led the team in carries.
“Even his sophomore year, he had that one-
strike capability,” Ballard said of Sena’s ability to
score any time he touched the ball. “You might
stop him for one or two plays, but that one mistake
he might pop for a touchdown.”
Making Sena’s season all the more impressive is
the fact that he is not the biggest back in the world.
At 5-foot-7 and 175 pounds, one would think Sena
would be ripe for a pounding. But his dedication
in the weight room to be as strong as possible
helped make up for his size, as did the fact he sel-
dom took the full brunt of a tackle. Sena’s goal
was to never let a defender get a clean, square hit
on him.

NFL Notes
T.O. has knee surgery, out for season
CINCINNATI — Terrell Owens had knee
surgery Monday, ending his revival season
with the Cincinnati Bengals.
The receiver tore cartilage in his left knee
two weeks ago, but kept
playing. He aggravated the
injury while making a cut
on the opening series of a
19-17 win over Cleveland
on Sunday, forcing him to
hobble off the field.

Owens had surgery later in the day.
Owens signed a one-year deal with a $2
million base salary at the start of training
camp, when the Bengals were one of the few
LOCAL / SPORTS
teams interested. He proved he could still
play, leading the team with 72 catches for 983
yards and nine touchdowns.
He ranked among the NFL’s top six
receivers in yards and catches heading into the
game against Cleveland. He’s a free agent
after the season, and hopes to play for two or
three more years.
Despite Owens’ big numbers, the Bengals
(3-11) had one of their worst seasons. The vic-
tory over Cleveland ended a 10-game losing
streak that matched the longest in club history
for one season. They finish at home against
San Diego (8-6) and at Baltimore (10-4).
Hester breaks record
with 14th career return TD
MINNEAPOLIS — Devin Hester has set
the NFL record with his 14th career return for
a touchdown.
Hester returned a punt 64 yards in the third
quarter on Monday night, giving the Chicago
Bears a 27-7 lead over the Minnesota Vikings.
Hester fielded a line drive punt from Chris
Kluwe and ran right up the sideline virtually
untouched for the score.
Brian Mitchell held the previous record
with 13, which Hester tied with an 89-yard
punt return against Seattle in Week 6. Hester
has returned 10 punts and four kickoffs for
TDs in just 74 career games. His 108-yard
return of a missed field goal in the 2007 Super
Bowl does not count in that total.
Mitchell played in 223 career games.

Got a cold? Echinacea won’t help much
By Stephanie Nano
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Got the sniffles? The largest study of the
popular herbal remedy echinacea finds it won’t help you get
better any sooner.
The study of more than 700 adults and children suggests the
tiniest possible benefit — about a half-day shaved off a week-
long cold and slightly milder symptoms. But that could have
occurred by chance.
For most people, the potential to get relief a few hours soon-
er probably isn’t worth the trouble and cost of taking the sup-
plement, researchers said.
With no cure for the common cold, Americans spend bil-
lions on over-the-counter pills, drops, sprays and other con-
coctions to battle their runny noses, scratchy throats and nag-
ging coughs. Some turn to echinacea, a top seller marketed as
a product that helps the immune system fight infections.
In the past, some studies found it did nothing to prevent or
treat colds; others showed modest benefit. Research on echi-
nacea, also known as purple coneflower, is hard to compare
because there’s more than one kind of plant, and different parts
of it are used.
With government funding, Dr. Bruce Barrett and colleagues
at the University of Wisconsin tackled the question again,
using newspaper ads and posters to find volunteers with colds
in the Madison, Wis., area.
The participants ages 12 to 80 were randomly assigned to
get echinacea tablets, a dummy pill or no treatment at all.
Those who got the herb took the equivalent of 10 grams of
dried echinacea root the first day and 5 grams the next four
days.
Twice a day, they graded their symptoms until their cold was
gone.
From those scores, the researchers saw a trend toward short-
er and slightly less severe colds for those taking echinacea
compared to those who didn’t. However, the results did not
reach statistical significance, meaning they could have
occurred by chance. There were no apparent side effects from
the echinacea.
Barrett and other experts said the findings would probably
be viewed as positive by echinacea supporters but as the “nail
in the coffin” by critics.
“It’s not a compelling result in either direction,” said Mark
Blumenthal, executive director of the American Botanical
Council, which follows research on herbal products. He said
Barrett is on the group’s advisory board.
Blumenthal said the study was well designed, used a good
quality product at a reasonable dosage and tested echinacea in
a real-world setting, rather than giving colds to research vol-
unteers.
HEALTH
Echinacea is derived from the purple coneflower,but there is
more than one plant used to make the remedy and different
parts are used.
The study’s findings were released Monday by the Annals of
Internal Medicine. The authors include the co-founder of the
Australian company that provided the echinacea for the study,
but he was not involved in the research.
It was funded by the National Center of Complementary and
Alternative Medicine, part of the National Institutes of Health.
The center, set up to test herbs and other alternative health
remedies, has spent $6.8 million testing echinacea since 2002.
The center’s director, Dr. Josephine Briggs, said there are no
plans to support more human research on echinacea.
“I think what we’re seeing is pretty clear. If there’s a benefit
of echinacea, it’s very modest, Briggs said.
So what’s a cold sufferer to do?
“There’s nothing that’s going to make it go away,” said Dr.
Ronald Turner, of the University of Virginia School of
Medicine. He led another government-funded study of echi-
nacea that had negative results.
Some over-the-counter medications ease the symptoms a
bit, he said. Americans spent $5.3 billion on cold and cough
remedies at major U.S. stores in the year ending Nov. 27,
according to The Nielsen Co. (Cold and cough medicines
are no longer recommended for children under 4.)
And don’t go running to the doctor for antibiotics, said Dr.
Ann Falsey of the University of Rochester Medical Center.

side effects.
Rest, fluids, pain relievers and over-the-counter medications
to relieve symptoms are generally recommended.
On Saturday, Kyle Cummings stood bewildered before a sea
of products that filled an aisle at a drug store in New York’s
Pennsylvania Station. The 21-year-old New Yorker had a sore
throat and stuffy nose.
“I don’t know what to get,” said Cummings, who blamed his
cold on hunting for a second job without a winter coat.
He couldn’t take anything that would make him drowsy
while at work in customer service at a bank. He settled on a
Robitussin product.
Minutes later, two sniffling 16-year-old classmates, Kelly
Malico and Sietske Ruijgh from New York’s Long Island,
stopped for cough drops.
“There’s nothing you can really do,” shrugged Kelly, who
blamed her friend for sharing her cold.
Another cold sufferer, Jay Jarutat, grabbed some Vicks
VapoRub off the shelf at her doctor’s suggestion. She had been
sick for a week and had taken off a couple of days from her job
at a recording studio.
“I don’t really get that much rest,” the 34-year-old said in a
whisper because of laryngitis. “Rest, rest, rest, rest, and this is
going to help.”
By Monday, she was feeling better and back at work.
What do the pros do?
“I’m pretty old-fashioned. I put a warm sock around my
throat, and I use honey and tea and lemon,” said the govern-
ment’s Briggs.
Blumenthal of the Botanical Council takes echinacea and
other herbs as well. “I hedge my bets,” he said.
And Wisconsin’s Barrett?
“I use ginger tea. It hasn’t ever been proven in anyway what-
soever. But I like it.”

Movie-style special effects give girl new ear
By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Elise Lutz never let her
friends see what was left of her ear.
She’d carefully style her long hair into a
one-sided ponytail, or swelter under a swim
cap for hours at meets, to cover the molten
lump from a severe burn as a toddler in her
native China.
But as a teenager, the North Carolina girl
expressed her desire to be whole again with a
simple request: She really wanted pierced ear-
rings. Thus began a months-long quest for a
new right ear, one made of silicone but so life-
like that it even glows a bit in the sun like real
skin.
Elise benefited from a little known field
called anaplastology, where medical artists
make Hollywood-like special effects come
alive to fix disfigurements that standard plas-
tic surgery cannot.
“It kind of took forever, but it was worth it,”
says Elise, 14, as she headed to show her
transformation to her dad and sisters. “I’m so
excited, I’m more than 100 excited.”
No messy glue-on prosthetic that she might
accidentally knock off. Elise had tried that
once and hated it. This time, she would go
under the knife to have rods implanted in her
skull to snap her new ear into place — and
hold it even when this passionate swimmer
dives into the pool.
“People who have implant-retained ears or
noses or whatever usually think of them real-
ly as their own body,” says Jerry Schoendorf,
who with his colleague at The Anaplastology
Clinic in Durham, N.C., — and surgeons at
nearby Duke University Medical Center —

created Elise’s ear.
“It’s the Rolls Royce of what we can offer,”
adds fellow anaplastologist Jay McClennen.
Facial prosthetics — made to counter dam-
age from cancer, trauma, birth defects —
haven’t gained the attention of artificial legs
and arms. The specialists who craft them can
be hard to find: The International
Anaplastology Association counts just 150
members worldwide.
But facial prosthetics are becoming more
realistic and longer-lasting, and Elise’s jour-
ney offers a glimpse of the tricks that help:
Titanium rods adapted from dentistry that
bond with bone to hold them in place. More
flexible silicones. Even “flocking,” using
those nylon particles that make the velvety
insides of jewelry boxes can help give silicone
“skin” more dimension — and not in flesh
tones, but flecks of bright reds, plums, blues,
oranges.
Patients “can’t believe all those colors go
into making that skin,” says McClennen, who
now fixes faces using techniques honed in
previous careers to “age” actors in the movies,
and in forensic reconstruction.
No one knows for sure how Elise was
burned. Probably, boiling water sloshed down
her head and right side, says Kim Williams of
Wake Forest, N.C., who with her husband
adopted Elise from a Chinese orphanage at
age 9. Plastic surgery enabled hair to cover the
scar-riddled right side of her scalp, a shield as
Elise learned English and met new friends.
Plastic surgeons started but abandoned ear
reconstruction. Prosthetics made to glue on
daily are a more common option, especially
for cancer patients whose doctors need to reg-
ularly check for recurrences. But that didn’t
work for Elise. Her scars interfered with a

processors wash the animal’s carcass only
after the hide is gone.
In 2009, the plant, Beef Packers Inc., volun-
tarily recalled nearly 826,000 pounds of
ground beef due to salmonella fears. The U.S.
Department of Agriculture had expressed con-
cern about the facility’s animal handling prac-
tices the previous year.
The plant processes more than 1 million
pounds of beef per day.

Then Schoendorf suggested an implant-
retained ear: It would cost about $8,000 to
$10,000, nearly double an adhesive-retained
prosthesis, plus surgery. But where a glue-on
ear prosthetic might last about three years
before wearing out, the implant-retained one
should last twice as long, he says.
Replacements will fit onto those same rods,
making surgery a one-time hurdle.

a precise mold of where a new ear implant
would need to fit. With the residual ear tissue

Face transplant patient
meets her donor’s family
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The nation’s first face transplant patient has
said a donor saved her from a life of eating
and breathing through a tube, but until this
weekend she knew her only as a woman who
died in 2008.
Two years after Anna Kasper’s face was
merged with the remnants of Connie Culp’s,
Kasper’s family decided to reveal she was the
donor, so that others can know the generous
woman they loved.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
David Kaylie then drilled tiny titanium posts
into Elise’s skull. They barely emerge from
the skin.
Over the next few months, bone cells called
osteoblasts will fuse with the titanium to
anchor those rods, he told her.
“If you wiggle it while it’s healing, that pre-
vents those osteoblasts from growing in,”
Kaylie cautions. “They really have to keep
their hands off.”
Back at The Anaplastology Clinic,
McClennen was sculpting the ear that eventu-
ally would hook onto those rods with a mere
three clicks. Elise’s has a bar on the back to
snap it on; noses especially are starting to be
made with magnets for attachment.
Coloring brings out the true art. In the
1990s, as part of a team working on movies
like “Nixon” and “Legends of the Fall,”
McClennen learned to impregnate colorless
silicone with a mix of colors so the finished
prosthetic required only thin glazing and not
heavy paint. Harder acrylic threaded through
the rubbery silicone like cartilage holds the
retention bar and, with a technique gleaned at
a cancer center in Toronto, McClennen used
the right color to mimic that red glow when
sunlight shines behind the ear.
Blending where the edges meet real skin is
crucial, as is managing expectations,
Schoendorf says: “As good as it is, it’s not
perfect.”
The day before Thanksgiving, Elise’s new
ear is ready to attach, complete with earring
hole. She practices clicking it on, surprised
that it’s easy, and smiles into the mirror, hair
tucked back.
“This one looks fantastic,” she later pro-
claims.
“She’d give her time. She’d give her money.
She gave a lot of things she didn’t have to

FDA cracks down on illegal supplements
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug
Administration is cracking down on manufac-
turers of certain weight loss, body building
and sexual enhancement supplements that
contain potentially dangerous ingredients.
The FDA said Wednesday that some manu-
facturers are deceptively labeling products to
hide that they contain ingredients known to
cause adverse health effects. Other supple-
ments contain ingredients that should only be
available by prescription.
“These tainted products can cause serious
adverse effects, including strokes, organ fail-
ure, and death,” said FDA Commissioner
Margaret Hamburg. “The manufacturers sell-
ing these tainted products are operating out-
side the law.”
Dietary supplements can slip through the
regulatory cracks because, unlike drugs, they
do not have to be approved by the FDA before
they are marketed. Manufacturers are respon-
sible for making sure their products are safe.

“These tainted products can cause serious adverse effects,
including strokes,organ failure,and death.The manufacturers
selling these tainted products are operating outside the law.”
The FDA has pressured companies to recall
nearly 200 inappropriately–formulated prod-
ucts since 2007, including 80 that were mar-
keted as body building supplements, accord-
ing to the agency. The recalled products were
linked to reports of stroke, kidney failure,
liver injury and death.
Government regulators do not have the
power to force companies to recall products,
and instead the FDA usually issues warning
letters to draw attention to illegal products.
In a letter to the supplement industry, the
agency said manufacturers who distribute
tainted products could face criminal prosecu-

Executives from the supplement industry
said they support the FDA crackdown and

Culp’s husband shot her in the face in 2004.

The FDA said the agency is targeting

which has been withdrawn from the market

steroid analogs. The agency cited Tren
Xtreme, ArimaDex, and Clomed as supple-
ments that have been labeled to contain those
products.
The agency also warned consumers to be
wary of sexual enhancement products that
include similar ingredients to the approved
drugs Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra. Those ingre-
dients should only be available by prescrip-
tion. The FDA said products marketed under
the names Vigor–25, Duro Extend Capsules
for Men, and Magic Power Coffee have been
determined to be in violation of federal law.
“Consumers should avoid products market-
ed as supplements that claim to have effects
similar to prescription drugs,” said Michael
Levy, director of labeling compliance for the
agency. “Consumers should also be wary of
products with labeling only in a foreign lan-
guage or that are marketed through mass
e–mails.”
Kasper said.
Kasper lived in Lakewood, Ohio, with her
family. She cared for nursing home patients,
delivered pizza and cleaned offices.
After meeting with Culp this weekend, Ron
Kasper told The Plain Dealer that the two
women share much more than a face.
“Connie’s like Anna in a lot of ways,” he
said, “as far as her personality and how much
she enjoys life and how she smiles and is still
able to have such a great attitude after every-
thing she’s been through and she takes every-
thing in stride.”

East Palo Alto, Manheimer said.
Lewis was unarmed and defenseless,
Manheimer said.
Family and friends of Lewis gathered
at San Mateo police headquarters yes-
terday afternoon for a press conference.
Lewis left behind three sons and a
daughter when he was killed.
Yesterday, daughter Shyvonne Lewis,
28, said she had no idea who Gregory
Elarms was.
“I never saw him before,” she said.
Free at Last co-founder Vicki
Smothers also attended the press confer-
ence and expressed gratitude to police
for bringing Lewis’ killer to justice.
County Supervisor Rose Jacobs-Gibson,
who represents East Palo Alto, said his
memory “will be with us forever.”
“I’m almost speechless,” Jacobs-
Gibson said. “I’m so thrilled justice has
been served.”
Lewis helped form Free at Last after
struggling with drugs himself and land-
ed at San Quentin at the age of 19 in the
mid-1970s for dealing drugs. He served
15 years in prison before returning to
the streets of East Palo Alto in 1990 at

Lewis was arrested within three
months of his release from San Quentin.
Instead of sending the man back to jail,
however, his parole officer enrolled him
in a year-long residential drug treatment
center in East Palo Alto.
After getting out of treatment, Lewis
co-founded Circle of Recovery, a sup-
port group for recovering addicts.

of numerous pieces of jewelry, an Apple
iPod and cash stolen from the residence,
according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Patterson, married with two children,
had just left the home before the sus-
pects tried to gain entry, she said.
“They must have been staking out the
home because they entered it quickly
after I left,” Patterson said.
Patterson credits neighbor Rachel
Levine for noticing the incident and
then promptly calling police.
“It was great timing. Almost miracu-
“I wasn’t gone more than 10 min-
utes,” Patterson said.
The two neighbors have been friendly
in the past, both volunteering together at
a local elementary school, but Patterson
said the incident will bring them even
closer together.
Patterson is also grateful to police
who arrived to the scene within five
minutes of Levine’s 911 call.
The San Carlos Police Department
was recently dissolved and the city con-
tracts with the Sheriff’s Office for police
services now.
“There has been some bad press relat-

said.

COOKIE
Continued from page 1
Each inmate will receive 10 cookies.
There are lemon cookies, chocolate
chip, snickerdoodles, lemon squares and
peanut butter with jelly in the middle.
“We’ve got everything you can person-
ally imagine,” said head chef Adam
Weiner.
It got too late to make fudge — maybe
next year, Weiner mused.
Because there will be a next year.
“It is absolutely amazing to do this. We
teach from day one that food is love and to
be able to demonstrate that is wonderful,”
he said.
The joy of the project isn’t one-sided,
either.
“The beauty of the cooking project is
that it is a wonderful win-win situation,”
said Weiner, pointing to the skills his stu-
dents learn while mass producing a wide
variety of cookies.
“It is wonderful to be able to help teach
my students how to improve their lives
and at the same time share a little of the
ATTORNEY
Continued from page 3
The proposed contract with the 51-
year-old is a three-year agreement under
which Zafferano would be paid $180,300
annually. His pay would be reduced 3.03
percent during this fiscal year, the equiv-
alent to 63 hours of furlough, which San
Bruno officials implemented for most
employees to save cash. Zafferano is
entitled to a $300 monthly car allowance.
San Bruno would also cover Zafferano’s
The now-annual baking frenzy began
two years ago when the Service League,
the nonprofit that coordinates jail services
in San Mateo County, approached Weiner
Dec. 22 and asked for 1,000 cookies.
The group needed 6,000 and was 3,000
short but only asked for that minimum.
But Weiner asked, how many do you
need?
The next day had another question:
what did his students think of the proposi-
tion? Could they churn out 3,000 cookies
in two days?
“One student said those cookies were
the only gift he got last year,” Weiner said.
Needless to say, the class succeeded and
a tradition was born.
Last year, the group started a bit early
and baked 5,000 cookies. This year, it
began in mid-November, turning out
cookies while waiting for other items to
bake or dough to rise. The students,
Weiner said, learned lessons not only in
mass production — a skill you don’t get in
most culinary institutes — but also in
maximizing their time.
“They’re learning that nobody’s going
to pay them to sit around,” Weiner said.
JobTrain already has an established
conference costs, annual professional
association dues and provide a laptop and
cell phone, according to the contract.
Zafferano grew up in Sacramento. He
holds a bachelor’s degree from Stanford
University and earned his law degree
from the University of California at
Berkeley. He joined the San Carlos-
based Aaronson Dickerson Cohn &
Lanzone in 1987, becoming a partner in
1991. He has served as deputy city attor-
ney for Half Moon Bay, Woodside, San
Carlos and Foster City. Currently, he
serves as city attorney for Belmont, a
position he’s held since 2005.
The Belmont City Council met in
rectional facilities. For instance, in
January, Weiner and the Sheriff’s Office
created a culinary program that tracks
JobTrain’s regular Culinary Arts curricu-
lum and prepares inmates for jobs after
incarceration. In August, the partnership
was highlighted with a culinary cook-off
involving student inmates partnered with
county law enforcement and other offi-
cials.
The relationship continues with the hol-
iday cookies. The last month or so, Weiner
launched a friendly competition between
women and men inmates to see how many
cookies they could turn out in a half-day.
The group is now looking forward to see-
ing the cookies they made returned in
individual bags for themselves and others
at each of the county’s adult and juvenile
correctional facilities.
Several of those who received cookies
previously now participate in JobTrain’s
culinary program. Others just recall the
treats fondly.
“So many people walk up to me and say
‘hey man you’re responsible for my
Christmas present. That was the only indi-
cation someone outside there really cared
about me,’” Weiner remembered.
closed session Monday to discuss filling
his position. Zafferano noted the start
date with San Bruno has not been set
allowing the two cities to work together
in the process.
Aside from legal work, Zafferano
coaches the Westmoor High School
mock trial team, a position he’s held for
17 years. He also created and works with
the Tierra Linda Middle School Math
Club. Zafferano began helping at Tierra
Linda when his daughter, currently a
sophomore at the University of
California at Los Angeles, attended
school there.

Tuesday, Dec. 21, 2010
It is best to discuss your objectives only with persons you can
completely trust, so if you have something big in the making,
be a bit more secretive. A pal could unwittingly reveal your
plans to those who would steal it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - You might think you’re
being clever when you attempt to camouflage a selfish act
from others, but there will be someone who has your number
who will out you the moment you try.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - It’s OK to be both realistic
and optimistic over the outcome of something important. If
you don’t base your instincts only on wishful thinking, every-
thing should come out fine.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Anything you borrow must
be treated with the respect you would give to one of your
prized possessions. If anything unfortunate should happen to
it, it’ll be your responsibility to replace it.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Be cognizant at all times of
the details, not just the big picture, if you hope to assess an
important matter correctly. Don’t let unimportant side issues
distort your logical judgment.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Usually you know what to keep
secret and what can be told. This day, however, you might
have a difficult time keeping the cat ensconced in the bag if
the story is a bit too juicy to keep to yourself.
easily handle, but not you. Keep in mind your financial limita-
tions, and abide by them.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Talking about your goals might
make for some interesting conversations and make you look
like a high achiever, but unless you actually do what you say,
it’ll be nothing but chatter.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Asking others to do things for
you that you can easily do for yourself will only make you
look like a user. Don’t impose yourself on anybody unless you
really need some help.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Nothing could be more foolish than
to take a gamble on something another wants to do that is
completely out of your control. If you want to take a chance,
make sure you’re calling the shots.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Don’t solicit advice from just
anybody, make sure to hit up someone you believe can help.
Counsel from the wrong person could complicate your affairs
and put you in a bigger bind.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Keep your mind on your work at
all times, even if you are performing a task that is familiar
and routine. Carelessness could generate all kinds of unex-
pected problems.
Previous
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Make sure that the person
who is usually looking the other way or has left the table Sudoku
when the tab arrives pays his/her fair share when out with

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Don’t permit yourself to get

friends. Don’t let him/her freeload this time. answers

Dozen arrested in
UK terrorism plot
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — In the biggest anti-terrorist sweep in nearly
two years, British police on Monday netted a dozen men
accused of plotting a large-scale terror attack on targets inside
the United Kingdom.
The raid was thought to be linked to UK targets only and not
part of a larger threat to other European countries, security
officials said.
Police who swooped in on the men’s houses early in the
morning were unarmed, suggesting any planned attack was not
imminent and the suspects were not believed armed. Police
were heavily criticized in 2006 when they shot an unarmed
suspect in a similar counterterrorism raid. Only a fraction of
Britain’s police officers are armed.
The men were arrested in London, the Welsh city of Cardiff
and the English cities of Birmingham and Stoke-on-Trent and
the raid was the largest since April 2009, when 12 men were
detained over an alleged al-Qaida bomb plot in the northern
city of Manchester.
Counterterrorism officials declined to give more details of
the alleged plot, saying only that the men had been under sur-
veillance for several weeks — an indication that the plot could
have been in its planning stages. No details were given as to
whether explosives or arms were found.
Former Mexican candidate
released by his kidnappers

N.Korea backs off attack threat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
YEONPYEONG ISLAND, South Korea — North Korea
backed off threats to retaliate against South Korea for military
drills Monday and reportedly offered concessions on its nuclear
program — signs it was looking to lower the temperature on the
Korean peninsula after weeks of soaring tensions.
But Pyongyang has feinted toward conciliation before and failed
to follow through.
The North’s gestures came after South Korea launched fighter
jets, evacuated hundreds of residents near its tense land border with
the North and sent residents of islands near disputed waters into
underground bunkers in case Pyongyang followed through on its
vow to attack over the drills.
“It appears that deterrence has been restored,” said Daniel
Pinkston, Seoul-based analyst with the International Crisis Group
think tank. “The North Koreans only understand force or show of
force.”
North Korea has previously been accused of using a mix of
aggression and conciliatory gestures to force international negoti-
ations that usually net it much-needed aid. Real progress on efforts
to rid the North of its nuclear weapons programs has been rare.
On Nov. 23, the North shelled Yeonpyeong Island, a tiny enclave
of fishing communities and military bases about seven miles (11
kilometers) from North Korean shores in response to an earlier
round of South Korean live-fire maneuvers. The North’s artillery
barrage killed two marines and two construction workers in its first
Tuesday • Dec. 21, 2010 31
attack targeting civilian areas since the 1950-53 Korean War. That
clash sent tensions soaring between the two countries — which are
still technically at war.
They’ve remained in a tense standoff since then‘, and an emer-
gency meeting of U.N. diplomats in New York on Sunday failed to
find any solution to the crisis.
But Monday brought some of the first positive signs in weeks, as
a high-profile American governor announced what he said were
two nuclear concessions from the North.
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, a frequent unofficial envoy
to North Korea and former U.S. ambassador to the U.N., said that
during his visit the North agreed to let U.N. atomic inspectors visit
its main nuclear complex to make sure it’s not producing enriched
uranium for a nuclear bomb, according to a statement from his
office.
The North expelled U.N. inspectors last year, and last month
showed a visiting American scientist a new, highly advanced ura-
nium enrichment facility that could give it a second way to make
atomic bombs, in addition to its plutonium program. Richardson
also said that Pyongyang was willing to sell fresh fuel rods, poten-
tially to South Korea.
“We had positive results,” Richardson told Associated Press
Television News at the Pyongyang airport Monday night.
He had been set to brief reporters in Beijing, but his flight was
canceled.
“This is the way countries are supposed to act,” U.S. State
Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said.

MEXICO CITY — A former Mexican presidential candidate

was freed Monday more than seven months after his kidnap-
ping, telling reporters outside his Mexico City home that he is
well and forgives his captors.
Diego Fernandez de Cevallos, a top Mexican political power
broker who ran unsuccessfully for president in 1994, gave no
details about his abductors in what was the highest-profile and
most brazen kidnapping in Mexico’s recent history.
In a statement, President Felipe Calderon said he talked by
telephone with Fernandez de Cevallos, 69, a leading member
of Calderon’s conservative National Action Party, expressing
his joy at the release of his friend and promising to use the full
force of the law to bring the kidnappers to justice.
The national party, known as PAN, issued a statement call-
ing the seven-month kidnapping “a period of anguish and
worry,” and urging the government to investigate and punish
those responsible “with the ultimate consequences.”
Fernandez de Cevallos had been missing since May, when
his vehicle was found near his ranch in the central state of
Queretaro.
Photos purportedly released by kidnappers over the summer
showed him gaunt, blindfolded and shirtless, raising fears
about his condition. But the cigar-chomping politician
appeared fit and feisty Monday, his signature beard longer and
whiter than in the past.
After he spoke to reporters, he was greeted by a woman in
the garage who hugged him and handed him a bouquet of
roses. He later drove away in his own car.
