Uncertain status for transitional kindergarten

Despite state funding limbo, advocates prep for changes for children under 5 set to enter school
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For years, little ones turning 5 by the years end knew the fall would bring a new challenge for them kindergarten. Thats set to change this year, and that change itself is in limbo. Under the Kindergarten Readiness Act of
2010, authored by state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, students must be 5 years old to start kindergarten. Starting this year, the deadline to turn 5 will slowly be moved up from Dec. 1 to Sept. 1. An additional year of transitional kindergarten was supposed to be offered for children with birthdays after Nov. 1 the new program called
for state funding. That funding is in limbo as Gov. Jerry Browns budget proposal calls to cut $223.7 million which would result in the elimination of transitional kindergarten. Savings, according to the Department of Finance, will be used to support existing programs. Early education advocates, however, argue the proposed cut would
be a step back in the effort to better prepare children for school. Locally, districts are put in limbo as planning for the transitional kindergarten program will continue even though it may not start in the fall. Were moving backwards when we deny access to public education to kids at a time when we know we need to be doing more to prepare
our children for growing educational demands, said Preschool California Executive Director Catherine Atkin. Cutting the funding for the transitional kindergarten will delay access to education for an estimated 125,000 students this fall. Atkin said

Challenge in San Francisco. Offering those in attendance a chance to taste delicious cupcakes on a Sunday afternoon is there a better way to break that New Years resolution about cutting sweets? The public and a panel of judges will vote on their favorite cupcakes, picking winners in two categories: traditional and non-traditional, according to the event website.

SACRAMENTO California lawmakers introduced a bipartisan measure Friday to save community redevelopment agencies from immediate elimination, but its not certain if they have backing from legislative leaders or Gov. Jerry Brown. Sen. Alex Padilla, a Los Angeles Democrat, said he and other lawmakers want to extend the Feb. 1 deadline for closing some 400 redevelopment agencies throughout the state. He said an extension to April 15 is needed to give agencies time to gure out how to work with the state
to continue existing economic development projects and establish a process for handing off assets and liabilities. Lawmakers voted to eliminate the agencies in their budget package last summer as a way to funnel the property taxes they generate toward local services. The move was proposed by the governor and upheld last month by the state Supreme Court. Padilla said in an interview Friday that the leaders of the Senate and Assembly remain noncommittal to his legislation and that he faces a bigger hill to climb with the governor.

A unique church,in a unique spot

Pastor, 26, starts congregation at Burlingame High School
By Caitlin Alyce Buckley
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Police reports
Cars have locks for a reason
Someone left their car unlocked and keys in the cup holder and came back to nd their car missing on the 1000 block of Main Street in Half Moon Bay before 11 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 11.
This Sunday, a new ray of hope will appear at Burlingame High School The Sacred Church will hold an 11 a.m. Christian service at Burlingame High School open to the public. The church is unique for a few reasons: it is led by a 26-year-old who makes a living as a barista at Starbucks, its brand new and its in a cafeteria. Not just any cafeteria, the church will be held in a high school pastor Josh Herndon previously attended. Its goals, however, are simple. The Sacred Church exists to be what Jesus intended the church to be. A lot of times weve strayed away from the simplicity of the gospel. We will be genuine and creative in our approach to build a gospel-centered community. We will serve the community by teaming up with other local nonprots. We will be a place where people can come and ask questions and search for signicance in their spirituality, Herndon said. Herndon will serve church as a pastor, which means he will deliver the services and help people through his preaching. To have the church led by people in their 20s who speak the language of the Peninsula will allow us to reach, relate
and develop deep relationships with the community, he said. Youth Pastor Olivia Dumanovsky met Herndon at Burlingame High School and said he encouraged her to step into leadership and Josh Herndon ministry. She agrees young leaders will be able to relate to the younger generation and help them cultivate a relationship with God. She describes him as a fearless leader. We want to be a place where people can have a true encounter with God in a relevant way, she said. He is going to be a leader that will lead his congregation by encouraging, and by walking along side them. Nina OBrien will attend services and greet people as they enter the church. She feels it is her calling to be part of the church and hopes to get involved in Bible studies 7 p.m. Fridays at the Pastors house. She is excited to bring the church to a high school. Opening a church on school property is unique, especially since the leaders will have to bring everything for the service each Sunday and then move it out after.
The churchs location, however, is intentional. Herndon explained the money paid to rent the facility will go to the school district which is a way they help the school, a cornerstone of the community. Being on location helps us establish our identity. It reminds us that church isnt a building, its about the people, he said. During his senior year at Burlingame High School, Josh Herndon felt a calling to start a Christian club on campus. He initially hesitated because he knew it wouldnt be popular but, after reection, started the club. His group became the largest Christian club on the Peninsula, he said. Immediately, he said he realized his niche and gift of leadership. On graduation day, he knew he was going to return and start a church. Though the rst service will be this Sunday, the church has already begun building relationships and working with individuals and charities. One of the nonprots the church collaborates with is City Impact, a charitable organization in the San Francisco Tenderloin. He graduated in 2008 from Bethany University, outside of Santa Cruz, with a bachelors of arts in theology. He is married and has a 6-month old daughter. He is studying for a masters of divinity at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary.

Brown to revamp high-speed rail

By Juliet Williams
CITY GOVERNMENT
T h e Burlingame Trafc, Safety and Parking Commission will hold a special meeting to discuss downtown Burlingame Avenue infrastructure needs and parking meter rates. As part of the discussion, the Trafc Safety and Parking Commission will be reviewing a parking study analysis of downtown Burlingame Avenue, smart meters technology, Burlingame Avenue Streetscape and various parking meter rate options. The city requests public input and participation at the meeting; however, if you are unable to make this meeting and wish to provide input, written comments may be submitted by postal mail to Trafc Safety and Parking commission, 501 Primrose Road, Burlingame, CA 94010. Questions or written comments may also be submitted via email to Transportation Engineer Augustine Chou at achou@burlingame.org. All written comments will be forwarded to the Commission if received before 5 p.m., Jan. 19. The commission meets 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 19 at City Hall, 501 Primrose Road.
ELK GROVE Gov. Jerry Brown said Friday that his appointees to the board overseeing Californias embattled $98 billion high-speed rail project will x its problems and offer a revamped business plan after the rail authoritys director and its board chairman resigned a day earlier. The Democratic governor told reporters in Elk Grove, a Sacramento suburb, that he will not join the defeatist crowd that believes the project is impossible. Were going to build, but were not going to be stupid. And well listen to the critics, and well x things and well do the right thing, Brown said. Were not going to go overboard. Were going to be very careful and build incrementally as we go. The voter-approved plan to build a high-speed rail line linking the Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area has faced mounting criticism since it was revealed that its total costs have more than doubled

and the state has no stable funding source. Lawmakers from both parties have raised serious questions about the plan to start construction in September on the rst segment in the Central Valley, in part because the line would not connect major population centers. The California High-Speed Rail Authority submitted a new business plan to the Legislature last month that boosted the estimated price tag for the entire system linking Anaheim to San Francisco from $43 billion to $98 billion and moved the completion date from 2020 to 2034. The authority needs legislative
approval to start building the initial stretch of track in the Central Valley. Californias legislative analyst and an independent peer review panel have also questioned the projects viability. At the same time, public opinion polls have shown voter support waning. Assemblywoman Diane Harkey, R-Dana Point, has introduced legislation that would effectively kill the project. During a news conference this week, Harkey said it could double Californias debt and become a drain on the budget. California does not need a shiny new heavily subsidized toy with no conrmed ridership when we have real shovel-ready infrastructure jobs in every community awaiting funding, she said in a news release. The authoritys chief executive, Roelof van Ark, and its board chairman, Tom Umberg, announced their departures Thursday. Dan Richard, one of two people Brown appointed to the rail board last summer, is expected to take over. Richard spent 12 years on the board of the Bay Area Rapid Transit system.
Accused embezzler pleads not guilty

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Local brief
Accused burglar pleads not guilty
Twenty-two-year-old Jorge Alberto Mendoza pleaded not guilty Friday to charges of burglarizing two San Mateo homes in December, according to the District Attorneys Ofce. Mendoza was also appointed counsel, Bill Johnston, Friday. Mendoza will return to court Feb. 6 for a pretrial conference with a jury trial scheduled to begin March 5. In the meantime, Mendoza remains in custody on $50,000 bail. On Dec. 6, 2011, San Mateo police responded to a house alarm nearby Hurlingham Avenue. Mendoza was found with a Ricky Saunders baseball card stolen in a Poplar Avenue burglary and a button that matched one left on a windowsill of the rst burglary, according to the District Attorneys Ofce. A shoe print and palm print at the Hurlingham home also matched Mendoza.
A former nance director for the county agency charged with protecting the public from mosquitos pleaded not guilty Friday to stealing more than $450,000. Jo Ann Dearman, otherwise known as Joanne Seeney, was given a Feb. 16 Superior Court review date and will have her preliminary hearing March 8, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti. Dearman remains in custody on a separate embezzlement case and $250,000 bail. In addition, should her rst sentence end, the District Attorneys Office has made a request to exam possible bail funds to be sure the money isnt from the accounts in question, Guidotti said. Co-defendant and former bookkeeper Vika Sinipata, 35, previously pleaded not guilty and was given
a Jan. 25 preliminary hearing date. Each woman is charged with eight counts of embezzling public money from the San Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control District. The hefty loss discovered by an outside audit led to charges for Dearman, 60, and Sinipata but also questions of how the district overlooked Dearmans prior criminal history which includes two different embezzlement convictions. District General Manager Robert Gay has since said the district is implementing new policies, including background checks, which were not in place when Dearman was hired in 2008. Prosecutors say Dearman, the district finance director, and Sinipata, her bookkeeper assistant and accounting supervisor, embezzled the funds between 2009 and 2011 by giving themselves extra
pay at a higher pay rate and fraudulent time off, excessively contributed to their deferred compensation funds, used credit cards for personal purchases and electronically transferred money into their own accounts. The theft came to light after a boardmember questioned expenditures in the districts pesticide account and was dissatised by the response from Dearman. The district hired outside auditors who reported more than $635,000 was missing, much of it in the last scal year. The district contacted the County Counsels Ofce which in turn handed the matter to the District Attorneys Ofce for further investigation. The districts numbers might be closer to the actual loss but prosecutors are only alleging the amount they can prove, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said previously.
At the time of Dearmans employment, she had been prosecuted in two different embezzlement cases, including one in which she ran up more than a half-million dollars on her boss credit card. In March, she was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison on the two cases and ordered to pay restitution. The district plans to pay for the audit and forensic accounting costs, possibly up to $100,000, through insurance reimbursements and civil suits, according to a statement issued by the district to announce the embezzlement. At the time the district went public, authorities confirmed Dearmans alleged involvement but stayed mum on Sinipata because she had quit her job when the investigation launched and remained at large. She turned herself in to authorities mid-December.

Garbage rate hearing set

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Burlingame garbage rates could increase up to 25 percent starting Feb. 1, a topic for which the City Council will hold a public hearing Monday. Mailings of the 2012 rate change were previously sent out to inform rate payers of the councils intent to adjust the rate, which could be lower but no higher than 25 percent, according to a staff report by Finance Director egistration in the San Mateo-Foster City School District for the 2012-13 school year is about to begin. Parents registering new students or wishing to transfer their student to another school within the district should familiarize themselves with this process. For the 2012-13 school year, students who turn 5 years old between Nov. 2 and Dec. 2, 2012 will be eligible to enroll in the districts transitional kindergarten program. An information meeting will be held 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 31 at the District Ofce, 1170 Chess Drive, Foster City. Parents may request an intradistrict transfer to another school in the San Mateo-Foster City School District, which is not their assigned school. Applications are due by Friday, Feb. 3. Enrollment priority for trans-
Jesus Nava. The increase is set to begin Feb. 1. The increase is due to a 10 percent increase in the revenue requirements to cover the cost of service; a 10 percent increase due to underproduction of revenue in 2011; and a 5 percent increase to cover variations in service subscriptions, Nava wrote. Under Proposition 218, if a majority of the ratepayers protest, the council can consider not adopting the rates. As of Thursday fers is established by lottery. The District will offer registration assistance for Spanish-speaking families with incoming kindergartners at Sunnybrae Elementary School 1031 S. Delaware St., San Mateo on Wednesday, Feb. 29 from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Spanish translation and child care will be provided. Kindergarten and new student priority registration will take place at all San Mateo and Foster City schools Monday, March 5 through other services, rather than having that money go straight to the redevelopment agencies to be used for future development projects. Its never easy, its always difcult, he told reporters while touring a solar project in Elk Grove, just south of Sacramento. We have to go for core services, and in recent years redevelopment went way off the track. But cities and redevelopment proponents are anxious about shutting down abruptly. Padilla said theres concern about laying off staff, not to mention potential lawsuits over pending projects. Many local ofcials also say their redevelopment agencies are their main vehicles for promoting construction projects and creating jobs. Some lawmakers, under pressure from local ofcials in their districts, have expressed a desire to reach a compromise that would allow redevelopment agencies to continue operating but under a different structure. Padillas bill, SB659, does not contain language addressing a long-term x. Its a little bit of a delay, but not a whole lot of time, so that we dont compromise funding ... to the state, but give ourselves a little more breathing room to address these very specic and technical issues, Padilla said of the legislation he introduced. Labor and business groups urged the swift

The Legislature authorized redevelopment agencies shortly after World War II as a way to restore blighted neighborhoods. They are largely controlled by cities and counties to promote construction projects and have been credited with revitalizing blighted districts such as the Gaslamp Quarter in San Diego, downtown San Jose and Yerba Buena Gardens in San Francisco. Critics say some have become little more than slush funds for private developers. Redevelopment money in the past has been used to nance big box retailers, sports complexes and other projects that critics say run counter to the agencies original mission. The governor said Friday he was not inclined to support an extension but indicated he remains open to hearing proposals for nancing community economic development and affordable housing. Brown said in a time when the state is facing a $9.2 billion shortfall, property taxes generated by developments needed to be diverted from the agencies to local schools, law enforcement and
passage of Padillas bill, saying that breaking up the agencies without a clear process will lead to confusion, lawsuits and layoffs on current and planned projects. Under the budget passed last summer, an agencys assets and liabilities are supposed to be taken over by its host city or handed off to the state. Particularly in this economy, when one in 10 workers are unemployed, we need time to make sure the dissolution process is done correctly and everything possible is done to protect workers impacted by this decision, said Steve Koffroth of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees District Council 36, which represents Los Angeles redevelopment agency employees. Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg said he is not eager to extend the deadline unless the League of Cities, which led the legal challenge against the state, demonstrates it is more willing to work with lawmakers to restructure the redevelopment program and end some abuses. The League of Cities, specically, has up to now successfully led a two-decade campaign to point the nger at the state of California and to say, You stole our money, Steinberg, DSacramento, told reporters on Thursday. It isnt their money, it isnt the states money, its the taxpayers money.

New S.F.sheriff charged A.G.s cuts less severe under proposed budget with domestic violence
By Don Thompson
By Terry Collins
SAN FRANCISCO Prosecutors on Friday charged San Franciscos newly swornin sheriff with three misdemeanors, including domestic violence, related to a New Years Eve incident with his wife. Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi faces one count each of domestic violence battery, child endangerment and dissuading a witness, San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon said. While I do not relish having to bring charges against a San Francisco elected ofcial, I have taken an oath to uphold the laws of the state of California, and as the chief law enforcement ofcial for the city and county of San Francisco, it is my solemn duty to bring criminal charges when the evidence supports such action, Gascon said. Whether this was the elected sheriff or any other San Francisco resident, this type of behavior is inexcusable, criminal and will be prosecuted, the district attorney said. He said an arrest warrant has been issued and police now have the right to arrest
Mirkarimi. Gascon said prosecutors have also requested an emergency protective order prohibiting Mirkarimi from having contact with his wife and son. He is also ordered to stay away from his home Ross Mirkarimi while police investigate other possible domestic violence incidents involving Mirkarimi and Lopez, Gascon said. Mirkarimi could be arraigned as early as Tuesday, Gascon said. The sheriff, 50, vowed to remain in ofce while he ghts the charges. He spoke to a gaggle of reporters camped outside his ofce Friday afternoon and denied the allegations. The charges are very unfounded, he said calmly. We will ght the charges. He also said he wouldnt resign from ofce and planned to turn himself in for ngerprinting and mugshots later Friday. We are cooperating, he said. His wife spoke briey, and much more emotionally.
SACRAMENTO The state attorney generals ofce will have less severe cuts than originally anticipated if lawmakers approve Gov. Jerry Browns proposed budget for the coming scal year, allowing the Department of Justice to retain more than 100 agents who were facing layoffs and salvage some highprole programs targeting illegal drugs and gangs. Among the units to be saved is one that tracks prescription drugs and assisted investigations after the deaths of Michael Jackson, Anna Nicole Smith and actor Corey Haim. It will be moved to a different ofce as part of a reorganization by Attorney General Kamala Harris that will combine two law enforcement divisions into a new Bureau of Investigations. A statewide program started in 1983 that has destroyed millions of illegal marijuana plants also would be saved, thanks to an infu-
sion of federal money. Another $6.5 million in surplus money from gun registration fees will bolster a separate program to keep rearms out of the hands of those who can no longer legally own them. Harris ofce had been Kamala Harris facing an estimated $71 million in budget cuts over two scal years. Browns proposed budget would restore nearly half the money Harris had expected to lose in the scal year that starts July 1. That is enough to keep 84 employees who otherwise would have lost their jobs, while another 27 would have their salaries paid by local governments. Budget cuts still will lead to 91 agents losing their jobs next month. Harris top law enforcement aide said in an interview this week that the departments crime-fighting efforts will suffer as a result.

Two women critically injured in S.F. home invasion

SAN FRANCISCO Two San Francisco women are in critical condition after they were attacked during an apparent home invasion. Police say a 76-year-old woman was home in the Sunset District around 9 p.m. Thursday when a man broke in and attacked her, using a knife and hammer. During the attack, another woman delivering food from a nearby restaurant came to the door. Police say the intruder opened the front

door and hit the woman repeatedly in the head. The suspect then ed in a car. The 57-year-old deliverywoman stumbled back to the restaurant and called police. Both victims were hospitalized with head trauma, and the elderly woman also suffered stab wounds to her upper body. Ofcer Albie Esparzasaid that investigators are still trying to determine a motive but dont believe it was burglary.
A 62-year-old Redwood City man was sentenced to 70 years to life in prison Friday after he was convicted in December of 24 felony counts related to the molestation, sodomy and attempted molestation of four children, according to the District Attorneys Ofce. Eusebio Valladares faced a maximum of 255 years to life in prison for the crimes committed over a three-year period against four minors, who were between the ages of 9 and 11, according to the District Attorneys Ofce. Valladares rented a room from the parents of two of the victims who are sisters, although he also attacked two of the girls friends, according to the charges. According to the District Attorneys Ofce,
Valladares kissed, orally copulated and sodomized the victims when he was alone with them after they were home from school. The case was reported when one of the girls friends alerted her mother to the molestation. A jury found Valladares guilty of 16 counts of child molestation, one count of sexual penetration of a child, and seven counts of attempted child molestation. The jury deadlocked on four additional counts of child molestation, which were dismissed after a motion from the prosecution to do so was granted. I think it was an appropriate sentence for the damage he did to those girls, said San Mateo County Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti.
State imposes battery charger standards

By Noaki Schwartz
LOS ANGELES California has declared war on vampires, but this time its no Hollywood monster ick. The state will be the rst in the nation to target so-called vampire battery chargers that suck up and waste as much as 60 percent of the electricity they consume. The California Energy Commission voted 3-0 on Thursday to regulate such power-sapping chargers despite
objections by consumer product makers. Californias standards take effect next year, and several states in the Northwest are eyeing similar regulations. The U.S. Department of Energy is also working on setting national standards for battery chargers. Once again, California is setting the standard for energy efciency, keeping the states dominance as the most energy efcient state per capita, said commission chair Robert Weisenmiller.

Letters to the editor

Finding the right pet sitter
Editor, As the owner of a professional pet sitting and dog walking company for 14 years, I was saddened to read the headline Dog-walking thief gets 35 years to life in prison in the Jan. 11 edition of the Daily Journal. Saddened, because something such as this puts professional pet sitters and clearly Mr. Barbanica is not a professional pet sitter in a bad light. To the pet owning public, I strongly urge you to make sure that the pet sitting company you are considering hiring is bonded and insured. Ask how long they have been in business. Ask if they have a business license. Ask if they perform background checks on their employees. Ask if the pet sitting company belongs to any professional organizations. Does the company provide references? Are they trained in pet rst aid and CPR? Do they have a website? While not all professional pet sitters will necessarily have all of these things, it is a good starting point, and at the very least, your pet sitter should be bonded and insured. The professional pet sitters I know are hard-working, honest and ethical. To the pet owner it may seem attractive to hire someone with little or no credentials, but sometimes you get what you pay for. ing to this view. Forget arts, music, drama and PE. Theyre not needed; stick with the basics. However, dont touch competitive sports; theyre needed to feed our kids into the college and pro teams in the future. After all, a robust society cannot exist without its sports entertainment. Sure. The problem with this thinking is that it fails to recognize the value of the arts. The arts not only enrich our kids but also add great value to a society. The arts, in their various forms, broaden peoples perspectives and also make a society more creative and innovative in ways that the basics alone cannot match. If we abandon the arts in our kids educational process, our society will quickly become narrower in its thinking colder and uncreative, unable to keep up with the rest of the world. The scariest aspect of the absence of the arts in our lives, given the closed, narrow thinking that will result, is that well soon have an excess of Republicans. per year. The total cost to the taxpayers of this state for this $5,500 crime will be $1,750,000. Then opening the Daily Journal to page 4, the story Probation and time served for ATM thief, reported that the defendant charged with embezzling $200,000 from ATM machines, by lling the machines with photocopied and counterfeit bills, received probation and credit for time served. Is it just me that nds these two criminal sentences vastly divergent and fundamentally unfair given similarities of each crime?

The necessity of clean energy

Editor, The recent ruling by a federal judge to block Californias landmark LowCarbon Fuel Standard is a huge blow to our states efforts to dramatically reduce global warming pollution that threatens people, wildlife and natural resources across the state. Fuels that run our vehicles are the second biggest source of carbon emissions in the United States, and our clean energy future depends on phasing out dirty fuels, like tar sands, and phasing in clean fuels. Vehicles that go further on less energy take money out of the pockets of oil companies and put it back into the hands of California families and businesses. The oil industrys attempts to keep us hooked on dirty fuels, no matter the cost to our planets future, must be stopped. In a nation that is failing to nd the political will to enact solutions to the growing climate crisis, California cannot afford to wait any longer to transition to clean, safe fuels that will help protect our natural resources and make us more energy independent.

Why the incongruent criminal sentences?

Editor, Every so often are you confronted with an incongruence that is so fundamentally unfair and patently discriminatory that one is compelled to speak out? Such a situation presented itself in a recent Daily Journal. The top story, Dog-walker thief gets 35 years to life in prison, in the Jan. 11 edition of the Daily Journal, reported a dog walker who had been given the keys to several homes, ostensibly to permit him to get the dogs for their walks, also pocketed some $5,500 worth of jewelry. For this crime, Judge Novak sentenced him to 35 years to life. The average cost of incarcerating someone in the state prison is $50,000

he latest from Pell Surveys reports: Class conict now the biggest source of tension in the United States. Some conservatives currently blaming the Obama administration for inciting this development and looking askance at the social safety net programs developed since the Great Depression, may wonder why? Obviously, they havent lived through or ingested what really happens when a nancial system goes rogue. I believe this famous radio broadcast by Will Rogers, the legendary voice of the American 99 percent of that era, will provide them with the opportunity to appreciate the pain: Will Rogers: Bacon and Beans and Limousines radio broadcast. Oct. 18, 1931: The only problem that confronts this country today is at least 7,000,000 people are out of work. Thats our only problem. There is no other one before us at all. Its to see that every man that wants to is able to work, is allowed to nd a place to go to work and also to arrange some way of getting a more equal distribution of the wealth in country. So here we are in a country with more wheat and more corn and more money in the bank, more cotton, more everything in the world theres not a product that you can name that we havent got more of it than any other country ever had on the face of the earth and yet weve got people starving. Well hold the distinction of being the only nation in the history of the world that ever went to the poor house in an automobile. The potters elds are lined with granaries full of grain. Now if there aint something cockeyed in an arrangement like that then this microphone here in front of me is well, its a cuspidor, thats all. Now I think that theyll arrange it I think some of our big men will perhaps get some way of xing a different distribution of things. If they dont they are certainly not big men and wont be with us long, thats one thing. Now I say, and have always claimed, that things would pick up in 32. Thirtytwo, why 32? Well, because 32 is an election year, see, and the Republicans always see that everything looks good on election year, see? They give us three good years and one bad one no, three bad ones and one good one. I like to have got it wrong. Thats the Democrats that does the other. They give us three bad years and one good one, but the good one always comes on the year that the voting is, see? Now if they was running this year why they would be all right. But they are one year late. Everything will pick up next year and be ne. These people that youre asked to aid, why theyre not asking for charity, they are naturally asking for a job, but if you cant give em a job why the next best thing you can do is see that they have food and the necessities of life. You know, theres not a one of us who has anything that these people that are without it now havent contributed to what weve got. I dont suppose theres the most unemployed or the hungriest man in America has contributed in one way to the wealth of every millionaire in America. It wasnt the working class that brought this condition on at all. It was the big boys themselves who thought that this nancial drunk we were going through was going to last forever. They over-merged and over-capitalized, and over-everything else. Thats the x were in now. Now I think that every town and every city will raise this money. In fact, they cant afford not to. Theyve got the money because theres as much money in the country as there ever was. Only fewer people have it, but its there. And I think the towns will all raise it because Ive been on a good many charity affairs all over the country and I have yet to see a town or a city ever fail to raise the money when they knew the need was there, and they saw the necessity. Every one em will come through. Europe dont like us and they think were arrogant, and bad manners, and have a million faults, but every one of em, well, they give us credit for being liberal. Doggone it, people are liberal. Americans I dont know about America being fundamentally sound and all that afterdinner hooey, but I do know that America is fundamentally liberal. This subject is very dear to Mr. Hoovers heart and know that hed rather see the problem of unemployment solved than he would to see all the other problems he has before him combined ... Hes a very human man. I thank you. Good night. Sound familiar?

Wall Street
Investors. So what happens to the banks that arent quite as strong and arent quite as well-managed? On trading desks, its called the cockroach theory, Orlando said. You never see just one cockroach. If you see one, you know theres bound to be a lot more. The euro slipped to its lowest level in 17 months after reports surfaced that S&P would downgrade European governments. After the markets closed in New York, S&P announced cuts for France,Austria, Italy and Spain. The euro dropped 1.1 percent against the dollar to $1.27. Borrowing costs jumped for France, Italy and Spain, countries at the center of the regions debt crisis. The dollar and U.S. Treasury prices rose as investors moved money into lower-risk assets. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell to 1.86 percent from 1.93 percent late Thursday. S&P warned Dec. 5 that 15 countries that use the euro were at risk of downgrades, citing higher borrowing costs for top-rated governments and disagreements among European leaders. A cut to Frances credit rating may fail to push rates up for France because bond traders were prepared for it, said Guy LeBas, chief xed income strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott.

NEW YORK A rare disappointing earnings report from JPMorgan Chase battered bank stocks on Friday and helped push the rest of the market lower. Rumors of imminent downgrades for the credit ratings of European governments drove the euro down and sent investors streaming into U.S. debt. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 48.96 points to close at 12,422.06, a drop of 0.4 percent. Markets were little changed late in the day after Frances nance minister conrmed that Standard & Poors had stripped the country of its AAA credit rating. Before the market opened, JPMorgan said quarterly prot declined 23 percent from a year earlier, slightly worse than what analysts expected. The banks stock lost 2 percent, and other large banks followed. Morgan Stanley fell 3 percent and Goldman Sachs 2 percent. It was the rst time JPMorgan missed Wall Street expectations since the nal quarter of 2007, a period that includes the nancial crisis of 2008 and 2009. JPMorgan is widely considered one of the best-managed big banks. Traders gured that if JPMorgan had trouble as 2011 came to a close, the rest of the industry probably did, too. JPMorgan is the gold standard, said Phil Orlando, chief equity strategist at Federated
Crowds force Apple sale cancellation

BEIJING Raw eggs splattered and streaked the gleaming windows of Beijings Apple store Friday, hurled by angry and frustrated shoppers when the launch of the iPhone 4S was canceled due to fears over the size of the crowd. The incident highlighted the role of Chinese middlemen who buy up wildly popular iPhones or smuggle them from abroad for resale at a big markup. Hundreds of customers including migrant workers hired by scalpers in teams of 20 to 30 waited overnight in freezing temperatures outside the Apple store in a shopping mall in Beijings east side Sanlitun district. When the store failed to open as scheduled at 7 a.m., the crowd erupted in anger. Some pelted the store with eggs and shouted at employees through the windows. A person with a megaphone announced the sale was canceled. Police ordered the crowd to leave and sealed off the area with yellow tape. There were shouts of What are you
doing? and Go in! Go in! as some of the people were pushed away from the entrance. Employees posted a sign saying the iPhone 4S was out of stock. We were unable to open our store at Sanlitun due to the large crowd, and to ensure the safety of our customers and employees, iPhone will not be available in our retail stores in Beijing and Shanghai for the time being, said Apple spokeswoman Carolyn Wu. The iPhone 4S quickly sold out at other Apple stores in China, Wu said. She said the phone still will be sold in China through Apples online store, its local carrier China Unicom Ltd. and authorized resellers. Wu declined to comment on what Apple might know about scalpers buying iPhones for resale. China is Apples fastest-growing market and an area of enormous opportunity, CEO Tim Cook said in October. He said quarterly sales were up nearly four times from a year earlier and accounted for one-sixth of Apples global sales.
REUTERS
A woman is dragged away by police after she refused to leave from the front of the Apple store in the Beijing district of Sanlitun.
Apples China stores are routinely mobbed for the release of new products. The company has its own stores only in Beijing and Shanghai, with a handful of authorized retailers in other cities, so middlemen who buy iPhones and resell them in other areas can make big prots, said Wang Ying, who follows the cellphone market for Analysys International, a research rm in Beijing.
Calm Wall Street spooks pros

NEW YORK After wild price swings that left investors bewildered and not a cent richer last year, stocks are rising again, and calm has settled over the market like blue skies after a storm. Or maybe eye of the storm is the better metaphor. Its a little too calm, says the usually unappable Jim Paulsen of Wells Fargo Management, a bullish stock strategist not easily spooked. Maybe were setting up for a break. Whether that break will bring a rise or fall in stocks, Paulsen is not sure. But he suspects itll be big whichever direction. For eight straight days, the Standard & Poors 500 index has moved up or down
less than 1 percent, a run that is both remarkable and a tad eerie. The last time stocks moved so little for so long was a 13-day streak starting last April 21 just before a bumpy ve-month drop to near bear-market lows. Other curiosities, ominous or otherwise, from the rst two weeks of the year: The hapless and helpless are hot. Netflix Inc., the DVD-by-mail and streaming entertainment company that enraged customers by raising rates, is up 36 percent. Bank of America is up 19 percent. Both lost more than half their value in 2011. The rst is last. The best-performing of the S&Ps 10 categories last year, utilities, is now the worst. Those stocks rose
15 percent last year but have fallen 3 percent this year. Investors apparently have decided theyre too expensive. The second-best sector last year, consumer staples, is down 1.3 percent. Stocks are up, even if prots arent. The S&P has risen 17 percent from its 2011 low on Oct. 3 despite increasing pessimism among analysts about prots. In three months since that low, analysts have cut fourth-quarter prot estimates at companies they follow by 19 percent, the most since the depths of the Great Recession three years ago. For all of 2012, the analysts now say earnings will rise 10 percent, down from a projected 17 percent ve months ago, according to FactSet, a provider of nancial data.

49ers return to the playoffs with their defense looking to stop Brees, red-hot Saints
SAN FRANCISCO Drew Brees piled up points, yards and accolades in a record-setting season for the New Orleans Saints. Much of the time, Alex Smith did just enough to get the San Francisco 49ers back in the playoffs for the rst time in nine years while a dominant defense and kicking game did the rest. Everybody is curious to see which of the

Brees and the Saints (14-3) come to soldout Candlestick Park on Saturday afternoon riding a nine-game winning streak after gaining 600 yards in each of their last two games,
including a playoff-record 626 yards in last Saturday nights 45-28 win over the Lions. Brees threw for 466 yards and completed 33 of 43 passes. Since the merger in 1970, a team had gained 600 yards in a game only 11 times in the regular season or playoffs before the Saints did it the past two weeks.

him at every chance to slow down these Saints. Theyre built a little bit differently. Theyre typically a lot bigger, theyre more physical, Brees said. You look at them statistically, No. 1 against the run, theyre putting all kinds of pressure on the quarterback. ... They rarely miss tackles.

Hillsdale does enough to win

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
JULIO LARA/DAILY JOURNAL
Hillsdales Michael Golden looks to make a pass during the Knights1-0 win over Mills.
When talking about his teams offense, Hillsdale boys soccer coach Andy Hodzic cant help but laugh a little. In 2012, the Knights efforts at goal have been puzzling, like one of those knock-knock jokes that are only humorous because the punch line doesnt necessarily offend you. Its funny, Hodzic said. In practice its fun to watch, every shot its a goal. But during the 2011-2012 season, for all the knock-knock-knocking the Knights do, very rarely are they rewarded with the sound of celebratory laughter. Luckily for them Friday afternoon, they faced a Mills soccer team whose offensive struggles appear to be on a whole different level. Thus, despite outshooting the Vikings 12-0, the Knights came away with just a 1-0 victory. Were practicing, trust me, Hodzic said. Ninety percent of my practice is shooting and passing and in practice theyre doing excellent. As soon as they go into the games, theyre totally different people. Their split personality act on the eld didnt cost them Friday, but it has in the past. Against Westmoor and Terra Nova not too long ago, it was
the same lack of nishing that cost them four points in the standings. We are overthinking, Hodzic said, because the rst two games, they had the same problem now theyre trying to solve it in their mind. I said, Dont think, just react. Do whatever you do in practice. The Knights were bailed out Friday by the efforts of Andreas Lau, who 10 minutes into the second half took a great through ball from Eyal Pisarevsky, made his way into the box and avoided Mills keeper Anthony Vozaites to tap in the games lone goal. Up until that moment, the Knights kept coming and falling short. On a couple of occasions, it was the play of Vozaites that prevented the ball going into the back of the net. Anthony did (have a great game), said Mills head coach Tim Keller. I can remember three, he saved three goals today a couple in the rst half and one in the second. He did very well today. What wasnt working on Friday was the Vikingsoffense. Hillsdales goalkeeper was never threatened and only handled the ball once the entire game. We need to eliminate so many mistakes with the ball at our feet, Keller said of his offense. When we win the ball, we panic with it too easily and were making too many mistakes, bad pass-
es, dribbling into bad spaces, and to change that we need to make sure we start switching the eld more effectively, using everybody instead of a couple of people and trying not to come straight up the eld all the time. Our defense today was helping our offense, Hodzic said. We tried to get the ball on the side and cross the ball the down on the ground. But a lot of balls went up because of the eld and us. Defensively, we couldnt do much more today. I tried to play man-to-man you saw, they didnt have one shot on goal. My goalkeeper only touched the ball one time. While Hodzic and the Knights continue to shake that scoring snide, they can take solace in the play of Lau and Calvin Araujo, who gave Mills ts the entire afternoon and provided their team with plenty of scoring chances. In the rst half, Araujo tested Vozaites twice from just outside the penalty box, forcing the keeper to handle the ball on some rough pitch. Solid also was forward Kelly Lau and Alexander Golden, who had a couple shots on goal apiece. The win brings Hillsdales record to 2-0-2 in league. Mills is still searching for their rst PAL Ocean win at 0-2. They are winless in eight games overall.
PAL coaches weigh in on 49ers-Saints

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Aragon
Im very excited to watch it, said Aragon coach Steve Sell. Especially since there hasnt been a meaningful game like this in a long time. Im excited. Its going to be entertaining to watch. Sells Aragon team nished second in the PAL Ocean Division this year, won a CCS playoffs game before falling to Los Gatos. Obviously, there is great concern with just how explosive the Saints are. You hope that the 49ers defense
The Peninsula Athletic League football season may be over, but that doesnt mean local coaches dont have their minds on the game. Especially this weekend, with the San Francisco 49ers in the playoffs for the rst time since 2002 playing against a New Orleans Saints that many experts have winning handily over the NFCs No. 2. So what do the local football minds thinks of todays game?
will hold up and that the second half against St. Louis (in Week 17) was just an aberration. Defensively, Sell said the key for the 49ers will be stopping the run and controlling the Saints on their play-action pass. They cant play catch-up he said. As a guy who runs the y sweep, Id like to see them do more things off of that, Sell said of the San Francisco offense. Having Ted Ginn Jr. back is nice for that. Win or lose, its just awesome. Its kind of amazing to turn on the national cov-
erage and hear them talking about (the 49ers). They havent talked about them in like 10 years. Prediction: San Francisco 27, New Orleans 24.
South City
Talking to South City coach Frank Moro, its no surprise what excites him the most about Saturdays game. You know, we dont get to watch them too much during the season because were usually watching lm
on Sundays. But from what Ive seen, Im excited to see that defense. Man, they fly to ball, theyre aggressive. I tell our guys to watch them all the time. In particular, Moro believes the play of defensive end Aldon Smith will be important. The way they play special teams is great it helps us emphasize the importance of it at the high school level. Like Aragon, South City made it

El Caminos preseason success not a fluke

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL
El Caminos Elijah White whips a pass to a teammate during the Colts 69-41 win over Burlingame.White scored a game-high 18 points.
The El Camino boys basketball team built an impressive resum during the preseason, picking up a number of impressive wins on its way to a 10-3 record. Friday, the Colts got their rst big test of the Peninsula Athletic League season when they hosted PAL power and defending Bay Division champion Burlingame. After a slow start, the Colts got their running game in gear and once they started running, they didnt stop as they beat the Panthers emphatically, 69-41. I didnt think this would be the nal score, said El Camino coach Archie Junio. Once we get a chance to run, a lot of stuff falls into place. Early on, however, El Camino (20 PAL Bay, 12-3 overall) had a hard time dealing with Burlingames zone defense. Instead of attacking the basket, the Colts settled for jump shots. Burlingame (1-1, 10-5), meanwhile, did what it does best offensively run its half-court offense. When Adam Feinberg sliced down the lane and made a layup as the horn sounded to end the rst quarter, the Panthers enjoyed a 12-8 lead. We seemed a little tight, Junio said. But Burlingame was executing very well early.
I didnt think this would be the nal score.Once we get a chance to run,a lot of stuff falls into place.
Archie Junio,El Camino coach
It was all El Camino after that as the Colts scored 61 points over the nal three quarters as they started attacking the basket. El Caminos a good team. They made some tough shots, said Burlingame coach Jeff Dowd. We got some shots we wanted, but we couldnt knock them down. The Panthers shot an icy 28 percent from the eld for the game and never could establish any rhythm offensively. Connor Haupt, who scored 23 in the Panthers league opener Wednesday against Woodside, was held to just eight points and only two in the second half. The Panthers were led by Nick Loew, who nished with nine points. Conversely, the Colts lit it up from the eld, shooting 55 percent. They were led by Elijah Whites 18 points. Michael Smith added 15 and Anthony Knight added 12, including a two-handed, backboard-shaking slam dunk in the third quarter. In addition, Jalen Bitanga came off the bench and added eight points, Alex Huerta knocked down a pair of 3-pointers to nish with six and Brandon Halal chipped in ve. Everybody worked hard, Junio said. Its not like the top three
(Knight, Smith and White) is all we have. Feinberg hit another driving layup to put Burlingame up 14-8 to start the second quarter before El Camino hit its stride. The Colts responded with an 8-0 run all in transition to take a 16-14 lead, one they would not relinquish. They continued to press the tempo until halftime, nishing the quarter on a 11-3 run to take a 27-19 lead at halftime. The Colts kept the pedal to the metal in second half. El Camino eventually built a 34-24 lead with 5:35 left in the third before the Colts left the Panthers in the dust. An 8-0 run pushed the Colts advantage to 42-24 with 3:36 left in the period following the second of Huertas two 3s. A Knight tip-in with 10 seconds left gave the Colts a 49-31 lead heading into the nal eight minutes. And the Colts kept coming, outscoring the Panthers 20-10 in the fourth quarter. Theyre really good in the open oor. Theyre tough to guard and tough to keep in front of them, Dowd said. We cant give these guys 69 points and expect to beat them. I dont think it was a uke.

Giants ace Lincecum heads 142 in arbitration

By Ronald Blum
NEW YORK San Francisco Giants ace Tim Lincecum headed 142 players ling for arbitration on Friday and is set to ask for a record salary when gures are exchanged next week. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner made $13.1 million last season, completing a two-year deal worth $23.2 million. The highest gure ever asked for in arbitration is $22 million, submitted by Houston pitcher Roger Clemens in 2005 after he became a free agent and accepted arbitration.
Among players with less than six years of major league service, the high of $18.5 million has been held by Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter Tim Lincecum since 2001. San Francisco gures to give Lincecum the highest offer for an arbitration player, topping the $14.25 million the Yankees submitted for offered Jeter. Most players settle before a hearing Jeter agreed to a $189 million, 10-year contract, and Clemens accepted a one-year deal for
$18,000,022. Others set to swap figures Tuesday include NL Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw and Los Angeles Dodgers teammate Andre Ethier, Philadelphia pitcher Cole Hamels, World Series star Mike Napoli of Texas and Chicago Cubs pitcher Matt Garza. Also in arbitration are three former free agents who accepted offers from their olds teams: Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz, Milwaukee reliever Francisco Rodriguez and Toronto second baseman Kelly Johnson. San Diego has the most players who led with 11. The Chicago
White Sox are the only team without any. Lincecum is 69-41 with a 2.98 ERA in ve major league seasons and in 2010 helped the Giants win their rst World Series title since 1954. He would be 29 when he becomes eligible for free agency after the 2013 season. While he was just 13-14 last year, his 2.74 ERA was fth-best in the NL. The Giants scored no runs while he was in the game in seven of 33 starts, had one run six times and two runs ve times, according to STATS LLC. Atlanta outelder Martin Prado became the rst player who led to
reach an agreement, getting a $4.75 million, one-year deal. Three players who had been eligible for arbitration agreed to oneyear contracts: Phillies right-hander Kyle Kendrick ($3,585,000), Boston Red Sox outelder Ryan Sweeney ($1.75 million) and Pittsburgh right-hander Chris Resop ($850,000). Among free agents, reliever Kerry Wood is remaining with the Chicago Cubs. He agreed to a oneyear, $3 million contract for 2012 with a $3 million club option for 2013. Shortstop Jack Wilson decided to stay with the Braves for a $1 million, one-year deal.
Speeds top 200 mph at Daytona test session

By Jenna Fryer
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. NASCAR is making gains toward breaking up the two-car tandem racing that has taken over at Daytona and Talladega, but the fix sent speeds soaring over 200 mph Friday in a test session. Kurt Busch posted the fastest lap of the day at 206.058 mph, but was being pushed around Daytona International Speedway in a two-car tandem by Regan Smith. Kyle Busch was clocked at 205.813 while
pack racing. NASCAR has traditionally shied away from the 200 mph mark, and four-time series champion Jeff Gordon said he approached series ofcials about the speeds because he was certain the cars would be slowed. He said he was surprised when NASCAR indicated it was comfortable over 200 mph. Its embedded in our minds we cant go out there over 200 mph in race conditions, he said. Somehow its become accepted and I think thats a good thing. Its very comfortable. Its extremely
comfortable. But its unclear what the racing will actually look like when the season opens with the Daytona 500 NASCARs version of the Super Bowl on Feb. 26. Fans are clear that they want pack racing at Daytona and Talladega, NASCARs two biggest and fastest tracks. Drivers gured out about three years ago that hooking up in two-car tandems was the fastest way around the track, and the style evolved so quickly, NASCAR couldnt stop it. The end result was a two-car
hookup in which the trailing driver was pushing the lead car around the track. Only one spotter worked for both cars, as the pushing driver was unable to see anything ahead. Overheating issues forced the cars to swap positions every few laps, and that maneuver added an element of danger because separating slowed the two cars dramatically. NASCAR Chairman Brian France vowed to move away from the twocar tandems in November, and a series of aerodynamic rules changes have done just that. NASCAR also banned driver-to-
driver communications over their scanners. Its all part of a continuous process, that could go all the way up to race day. NASCAR has changed specications during each of the rst two days of testing, and ofcials summoned the drivers to a Friday meeting during the lunch break to strongly urge them to pack race during the afternoon session. Based on the data gleaned from the two drafting sessions, NASCAR made yet another series of technical changes that will be applied Saturday in the nal day of testing.

Hillsdale
As a life-long Niners fan, Hillsdale coach Mike Parodi had a little difculty evaluating Saturdays game. My heart tells me the 49ers are going to win, Parodi said. But my mind knows its going to be a challenge. As the head coach of a high-powered offense, Parodi sees the key to the game, its most intriguing point, is what the Niners offense can do against the Saints defense. What are the Niners going to do offensively? he said, because kicking eld goals against the Saints is pointless. Parodi added that perhaps San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh should take more chances once they get into a part of eld where the Niners might normally kick a eld goal. I dont think they can get conservative, Parodi said. They have to keep playing like its a 0-0 game the whole time. Defensively, Parodi said San Francisco must make the Saints work and not surrender four or ve-play scoring drives. You cant let Brees sit back there, he said. You have to put pressure on him, mix things up. And if they score, make them earn it. 1999 season, St. Louis The Greatest Show on Turf group of Kurt Warner, Isaac Bruce and Marshall Faulk held on for an 11-6 victory over the defensive-minded Buccaneers. In the 1991 Bills-Giants Super Bowl, New Yorks talented defense held off Jim Kelly and the Bills K-Gun offense for a 20-19 win. More recently, a Giants defense led by Michael Strahan pulled off a 17-14 victory over the undefeated Patriots Tom Brady and Co. to win the 2008 Super Bowl. San Franciscos dominant D has no ashy nickname, just a balanced attack featuring All-Pro defensive tackle Justin Smith, rookie Aldon Smith and talented linebackers Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman. And, in the secondary, Carlos Rogers and safety Dashon Goldson have six interceptions apiece. With two good defenses, I dont think its going to be high scoring, Rogers said. Thats what everybody wants to see because its the Saints. We dont give up a lot of points. The Saints scored three rushing touchdowns against the Lions, two by Darren Sproles and In their wild card game, the Detroit Lions did a terrible job of tackling Saints receivers. Parodi said that cant happen today with the 49ers. And if the game comes down to a nal drive with Smith under center? Ill take Alex Smith, Parodi said. Ill take him with the team hes been surrounded with and with the condence his coaches have given him. Prediction: San Francisco 34, New Orleans 31.
THE DAILY JOURNAL

repower to stay in a shootout (by 49er standards). The things with the Saints that not too many people talk about, Turner said, is how well they run the ball. People see the highlight packages and see Brees throwing the ball up and down the eld. But in a lot of those games, theyre running the ball for 150 yards or more. San Francisco has a lot to prepare for. El Camino won a share of the PAL Lake Division this year by riding the rushing attack of DJ Peluso. They fell in the rst round of the CCS playoffs to Pioneer. The Saints put a lot of pressure on you down the seams, Turner said. That means your linebackers have to drop back a little further in coverage, which opens up things underneath. They just put a lot of pressure on you vertically. Turner said the Saints defense will limit San Francisco to a touchdown and four eld goals. Prediction: New Orleans 31, San Francisco 19. the second spot. One thing these Niners dont do is make many mistakes. They had 38 takeaways to only 10 turnovers for a plus-28 turnover differential, which matched the 2010 Patriots for the second-best mark in NFL history since 1941. All the major statistics, they rank very high, Saints wideout Marques Colston said. I think the No. 1 thing they do is cause turnovers. So obviously thats going to be rst and foremost for us this week. Alex Smith, the 27-year-old 2005 No. 1 overall pick, took care of the ball and threw for 3,150 yards and 17 touchdowns hardly Brees-like numbers. I really dont care. Im looking to outscore him. He can throw for however many yards he wants to, Smith said. A lot of different ways to win games in this league. Obviously offensively, theyre doing a lot of great things right now. Record-setting offense. Its kind of what you aspire to get to, no question. ... It is what it is. It still comes down to scoring more points than the other team and thats what were looking to do.
COACHES
to the CCS playoff where they knocked off reigning Division II champion Willow Glen before bowing out to Pioneer. But if there was one thing Moro and South City were known for in 2011, it was their defense. And that is what Moro pointed out for the Niners today against the Saints. Theyll need to get pressure on Drew Brees, Moro said. If hes able to put up big numbers, the Niners are going to have a difcult time. Anything around 300 yards and I think they have a shot at winning this game. While the experts believe quarterback Alex Smith must have a big day for San Francisco to be successful, Moro believes the Niners should stick to what got them there running the football. Stick with that game plan, he said. Get inside the 40-yard line and make those eld goals play the game theyve played all year. Prediction: San Francisco 26, New Orleans 24.
El Camino
El Camino head coach Mark Turner offers a different take on the Saints-49ers matchup. Unlike other local football minds, Turner grew up in Louisiana. I rooted for the Saints and the Cowboys. Those are the teams I watched growing up. So obviously I think the Saints are going to win and thats due to their high-powered offense. Turner said he likes San Franciscos defense, but its their lack of offense that has him giving the edge to the Saints. While he doesnt expect New Orleans to score a huge number of points, its just that San Francisco wont have enough another from Pierre Thomas. Thats as many as San Francisco gave up during the season, all in the last two games. New Orleans is three-point favorites and can already envision that premier matchup with defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay in the NFC championship game next weekend. Yet Saints coach Sean Payton insists his team found out the hard way last year and doesnt want to fall in another upset after losing the wild-card game to Seattle. When you nish the season and you nish with a tough loss, thats something you remember and you really remember forever, Payton said. There are certain things you learn from. You understand the nality of this time of the year and you never take things for granted. All of us, players and coaches, will all carry that tough loss with us, just as we will the really good wins we have. The 49ers plan to stick with what got them this far. They should be fresh and healthy after a week off as the NFCs No. 2 seed. The Saints chased them late in the year hoping to steal
NINERS
The fact that Lee is such an important gure for the 49ers shows just how different these teams are. The Saints didnt punt once in their playoff opener. San Francisco (13-3) also relied on David Akers single-season NFL record of 44 eld goals to return to the playoffs under rst-year coach Jim Harbaugh. The 49ers stunned the New York Giants 39-38 at home in the NFC wild-card game back in January 2003. This is a game where the better defense will denitely win the game, New Orleans linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar said. Its about us stopping them from doing whatever they want to do. They have to play a different brand of ball and we have to play good in all three phases of the game. There have been several noteworthy playoff games featuring teams with opposing styles.

an hour or two before the game to grill a bit of meat and throw down a cold one (or three) has morphed into an award-winning party of 40 to 50 people every Sunday home game at the Stick. With the 49ers taking on the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Divisional Playoffs (making their rst post season game at home since 2002), Chavez is expecting more than 90 people at the Club 49 tailgate. We didnt plan it like this, Chavez said of Club 49s growth. Its just kind of evolved this way. Every year weve grown little by little. Torres joined the club in 2008 after meeting Chavez through Myspace a couple years before and attending the clubs draft-day tailgate. A Niners fan her whole life, Torres grew up in Redwood City and graduated from Woodside High School in 1998. It was amazing, Torres said of her rst tailgate with Club 49. We went to other tailgates in previous years, with other people, but its about the drinking and drinking. Club 49 was totally different. It was more a family type of thing, where you get to enjoy everyone, you get to know everyone and have a relationship with the members and the other ing family needs can still be met. This will be Fontelas rst competition and she plans to keep it simple with two avors and staying true to the classic menu her customers really enjoy. Past that, Fontela is looking forward to meeting the others making cupcakes around the Bay Area. One of the possible new connections will be with Rey and Karen Garza of Sweetcakes in Redwood City. Opened just more than a year ago, the couple was pushed into doing something after Rey Garza lost his job in late 2008. With little options and a wife who loves to cook, he joked around with the idea of cupcakes. The couple would grab cupcakes occasionally and spend the time talking about their days. Rey Garza always thought his wifes cupcakes were better than what they were purchasing elsewhere. low-income families. Locally, a push to increase preschool enrollment has been successful over the last 10 years. However, according to the San Mateo County Ofce of Education, the number of publicly subsidized preschool spaces has not kept pace with the number of low-income students and an estimated 4,500 preschoolers are still lacking access to preschool. Even with the increased spaced, data from the 2010 School Readiness and Student Achievement Longitudinal Analysis of students in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties reported only 57 percent of local children enter kindergarten prepared for school. Kicking 125,000 kindergartners out of people. Club 49 has become quite the family and today at the Stick the tailgate will resemble a big family reunion, with relatives coming from Philadelphia, Ohio, Maryland and Hawaii as well as internationally from England and Brazil. Obviously Saturday marks a special occasion for any Niners fan but its especially sweet for Club 49 who have faithfully tailgated win or lose. The team wasnt doing so good, Chavez said. So we made it a point to have a good time because those were rough times. We saw a lot of bad football, so we used to joke around that its all about the tailgate. Bad football was combined with a couple of instances of bad tailgating blunders like forgetting charcoal, meat or, as he said, you name it, weve forgotten it. Luckily, through the years, Club 49 has gotten the art of tailgating down to a science. The parking lot, its like a big neighborhood, Chavez said. You can go up to people and be like, hey, Im short some charcoal, or, I need some lighter uid, more times than not theyll be like, oh no, just take it. You Karen Garza was working in the dental eld at the time. She jokingly calls the shop, which was a labor of love, a mid-life crisis cupcake shop. It started with a bare-bones building which is now lled with their shop where all the cupcakes are made. Both aim to provide a service and mom-and-pop feel by making sure to chat with customers and prepare other treats that show up on the menu at random. Karen Garza encourages people to call and check Facebook to see if their off-menu favorites like cookies and cinnamon rolls are fresh. If so, they can put one or two aside. The idea is simple, Rey Garza explained, they want to know their customers and be able to offer that personalized customer service option often missing in larger stores. They do that while working as a team to sometimes meet last-minute larger orders. Stopping into their shop will give the school hurts kids, parents, teachers and our schools, state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, said at a gathering of early childhood advocates in Santa Clara Friday. We need to work together to make sure that this short-sighted budget proposal doesnt become a reality. Simitian added that transitional kindergarten is currently required by law. Also, the funding mechanism, he argued, doesnt allow the governor to simply make a line item cut. The law would need to be changed by a vote of both houses of the Legislature. The proposal comes when most districts are starting to ask families to register for kindergarten. Families with children who turn 5 after the Nov. 1 deadline are being asked by most districts to register just in case funding for transitional kindergarten comes through. In the San Carlos Elementary School District, for example, 12 children have been registered

name it, weve forgot it. Tailgating is not something you perfect overnight. Club 49 is bringing out the big guns for todays tailgate. Along with Torres garlic shrimp, the menu includes tamales, garlic shrimp, gumbo, oysters, carne asada, pork ribs, Hawaiian chili with jalapeo corn bread and El Salvadorian yucca, just to name a few items. Its better to have too much good than not enough, Chavez said. Like any true Niners fan, both Torres and Chavez are predicting San Francisco victories. I know the Saints are a good team, Torres said, but I am 100 percent sure were going to win, she said, adding a 21-17 predicition. Theyre underdogs at home, Chavez said, but all year long, coach [Jim Harbaugh] has found that something to get the players ready. I feel like they do have a chance with their defense. The Saints havent faced a defense like ours. They like to throw the ball over the middle, but we have Patrick Willis and Novaro Bowman there. We need to put pressure on Drew Brees. Itll be a close game. I see it 2421 [for the 49ers] on a last-minute eld goal. [David Akers] has been doing it all year. chance for a taste adventure as the cupcake avor menu has more than 30 options six to nine of which are made daily. Karen Garza also insists on using fresh produce like lemons and bananas. She loves the idea of doing things from scratch, something she said is missing from many bakeries today. The Garzas are also new to competing in the cupcake world. Like Fontela, theyre in it for the fun and a chance to meet others. The Cupcake Challenge will be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 15 at Mezzanine, 444 Jessie St. in San Francisco. Tickets are $40.

Lynette Hovland, director of curriculum, instruction and accountability for San Carlos, explained the district had done a bit of work on the requirements of implementing the new rules. For example, a policy moving up the age requirement will go before the board later this month. A task force including principals, kindergarten teachers from each site and a preschool teacher were supposed to start meeting later this month to discuss curriculum and assessments. With the looming budget cuts, a meeting has been postponed until at least the board has a chance to discuss the possible lack of funding for transitional kindergarten. Were not sure, if its not funded, if were going to have the ability to fund it ourselves, she said. Until a decision is made, Hovland is recommending parents to register their children.

Free throws and faith?

Films leading suspense dramatically unsatisfying

By Jake Coyle
For Lynne Ramsay, motives are vague, sometimes unknowable things. In the Scottish directors lms three features, including the new We Need to Talk About Kevin characters act out awkwardly and unpredictably, bafed and nullied by deadly predicaments that are, in some measure, their own making. A young woman walks away from her suicide boyfriend and heads to Spain, taking credit for his unpublished novel (Morvern Callar). A boys rough-housing secretly
drowns a playmate in blighted 1970s Glasgow (the exceptional Ratcatcher). Guilt doesnt just weigh heavily, it obliterates. We Need to Talk About Kevin, Ramsays rst lm in nearly 10 years, is about a woman wracked by the trauma of having mothered a mass murdering teenage son. Eva Khatchadourian (Tilda Swinton) is a suburban wife to a cheerful, oblivious husband, Franklin (John C. Reilly), whose waking nightmare is enforced by constant ashbacks, mulling over her mothering of Kevin (as a teen, played by Ezra Miller) from infancy and up until the fateful high school massacre.
It is, to be sure, a parents horror story. The origin of this real-life demon is traced back to birth and even earlier, pondering the arrival of a bad seed and his subsequent nurturing. The lm opens in ominous tones with a younger Eva at the La Tomatina festival in Valencia, where she and the masses are covered in blood-like tomato. Back in present day (in which Eva is alone, desolate and slightly unkempt), she remains splashed in red, only its her house vandalized in revenge with red paint. (Red and tomatoes are a recurring motif.)
he nal buzzer had just sounded and after a few words from our coach, I, along with the rest of the Crystal Springs Uplands School girls basketball team, joined the line of players who had promptly begun to engage in a tradition wed each been practicing since our rst experience with recreational or competitive sports. Whether during ones rst AYSO game as a fourth grader or ones 50th game on a varsity sports team, players know to form a neat, single-led line and raise their hands for a good game high-ve as they pass the opposing team. This ritual, for most of us, is one we began around the same time we started watching Pokemon or crafting elaborate stories with Barbies, and it is this familiarity that made us unprepared for any change in the usual. As we slapped hands, we were handed a bottle of Gatorade by our Kings Academy counterparts, along with a small pamphlet. Needless to say, we were caught a little off guard when we opened the pamphlets to nd pages lled with religious literature and an invitation to join in a post-game prayer. Our post-game ritual more often involves excruciatingly loud rap music and restoration of electrolytes than worship, so most of us hovered by our bench, a little confused as we tried to decide whether to join in. Too stuck in our awkward indecision, we hadnt noticed that wed already missed the beginning of the prayer. Too late now, a teammate added as we decided that running onto the court as 20 people closed their eyes in prayer might cause a bit of an interruption. A few of our more outgoing teammates, however, (whether out of enthusiasm for religion or eagerness to accept any social invitation, Im not sure) had immediately and punctually joined from the beginning and I watched as they held hands with the opposing team and their coaches, ending the sports-related prayer with an amen. My friends and I wondered if wed upset them by lingering around the team bench rather than racing out to the center of the court. I realized that we mustve looked a little strange to the parents and spectators who were accustomed to seeing all of their players involved. It wasnt out of distaste or desire to make any kind of statement that we abstained, but Id probably participated in prayer only once or twice in my life (perhaps at the dinner table of a friends house during the holidays), and after a loss of only a few

Gene Hackman OK after Florida bicycle accident

MIAMI Oscar-winner Gene Hackman was briey hospitalized with bumps and bruises Friday after a pickup truck hit him from behind while he was riding a bicycle in the Florida Keys, his publicist said. The 81-year-old Hackman was airlifted to a Miami hospital and released several hours later after routine tests, said publicist Susan Madore. Hackman was riding without a helmet on an Islamorada street around 3 p.m. when Gene Hackman the pickup hit him, throwing him onto the grassy shoulder, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report. No charges were immediately reported. During a career that has spanned ve decades, Hackman has won two Academy Awards and been nominated for three others. He took the Best Actor trophy for his portrayal of Jimmy Popeye Doyle in The French Connection in 1971 and the Best Supporting Actor award for Unforgiven in 1992. He also was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his breakthrough role as Buck Barrow, Clyde Barrows brother, in Bonnie & Clyde in 1967, as well as I Never Sang for My Father in 1970 and Mississippi Burning in 1988. Besides the Oscars, Hackman has won three Golden Globes and two BAFTAs.
For all the neuroses he displays on screen,Woody Allen likes to point out that he comes from a long-lived family,with parents who both lived well beyond 90.

LOS ANGELES The chimes may have tolled midnight in Paris, but in Hollywood, its the dawn of another career revival for Woody Allen after his biggest hit in decades and a new round of awards accolades. How much will the success of Midnight in Paris change the lmmakers career? Not one bit, says Allen. In nearly 45 years of alternating between toast of the town and yesterdays news, Allen has barely deviated from a simple formula: make a movie a year on an economical budget and avoid the show business baubles counting box-ofce grosses, obsessing over reviews, gladhanding for awards that would distract from his routine. Ive managed to avoid over decades the hit-op syndrome, Allen said in an interview during a recent trip to Los Angeles, where he and his Dixieland jazz band wrapped up a six-city tour. Most lmmakers work in that spectrum, and they have the pluses and minuses. They get the delight and pleasure out of a great hit, and they love the awards, they love the parties, the opening-night parties, the premieres. The box-ofce returns are heady
for them, and they love it. But when something doesnt work, very often, they have trouble getting money for their next picture. Ive never had that problem. Ive never had their joys or their lows. Ive just sort of existed since 1968 making lms kind of on a low ame, burning on a low ame. And thats ne, because the fun for me is to make the picture. By the time the romantic fantasy Midnight in Paris began packing theaters last summer, Allen was on to the next lm, preparing to shoot his ensemble comedy Nero Fiddled in Rome. He had put Midnight behind him, but his love letter to Paris was charming critics and fans like no other Allen lm had done in ages. A clever romp examining peoples perpetual discontent with modern times, the lm stars Owen Wilson as an American writer whose yearning for the 1920s Paris of Hemingway and Fitzgerald gives him a chance to spend some quality time with his idols. Allen may not have been counting the grosses, but the rest of Hollywood was as Midnight in Paris became the independent-lm success of the year with $56.4 million domestically and well over $100 million worldwide.
The lm has four nominations at Sundays Golden Globes, picked up an original-screenplay nomination for the Writers Guild of America Awards and brought Allen his rst Directors Guild of America nomination since 1989s Crimes and Misdemeanors. Already the record-holder with 14 writing nominations at the Academy Awards, Allen seems likely to pad that total and possibly pick up his rst Oscar directing nomination since 1994s Bullets Over Broadway and rst best-picture nomination since 1986s Hannah and Her Sisters. Woody Allen still has a lot to say, and hes as prolic as ever, and hes at another peak, said Michael Barker, co-president of Sony Pictures Classics, which released Allens last three lms, among them Midnight in Paris, and is putting out Nero Fiddled this summer. Look at Midnight in Paris. Its one of the freshest, most-original screenplays imaginable. Its a fantasy lm with no special effects. No special effects, that is, except rhapsodic images of Paris a city 76-yearold Allen says he would consider moving to if his wife were not set on remaining in Manhattan and the latest in a long line

DRAGONS ROAR AT BELLAGIO FOR THE CHINESE NEW YEAR. Bellagio celebrates Chinese New Year 2012, the Year of the Dragon, Las Vegas style, with spectacular displays in its Conservatory & Botanical Gardens through March 4. Under the Conservatory's 50-foot glass ceiling, two animated 25-foot Chinese Dragons, wrapped around a cylinder of water, blow steam from their nostrils as they playfully swat at a legendary, over-sized iridescent red pearl hanging directly above. The pearl, in Chinese lore, represents wealth, good luck and prosperity. Nearby, two other animated dragons, green and gold in color, actively lunge in the direction of the centerpiece. The dragons, 15 feet in length, represent earth and metal and are surrounded by a zig-zag bridge. The bridge leads to a striking, wing-tipped Ming Dynasty-style gazebo; its design follows the principles of Feng Shui, providing a difcult route for negative energy and bad spirits. Just steps away, in the North Garden, two more animated dragons in brown and red, representing wood and re, are joined by silk red Chinese lanterns, a Chinese-style bridge and gold leafed I-Ching coins, a traditional Chinese money symbol. The Dragon is unique to the Asian Zodiac as it is not a real animal. It does, however, represent a symbol of power and remains prominent in Chinese astrology. The Dragon is viewed as a powerful almighty king made up of multiple parts of animals such as the tiger, sh, snake and eagle. Individuals born in the Year of the Dragon tend to be powerful and often own a sharp tongue. This dramatic and festive installation took shape under the capable direction of Andres Garcia, Executive Director of Horticulture at Bellagio, who is responsible for all the seasonal displays that make up the Conservatory's year. Garcia said, "The Chinese New Year display is always one of my favorites, because it is full of tradition and history and we do our best at the Bellagio Conservatory to honor that. This year, Year of the Dragon, will be incredibly unique and will

stimulate all of the senses. My favorite feature this year is going to be the two beautiful animated dragons, swirling up a 25 foot water column, trying to catch a ery pearl. The colors of this display will be breathtaking, as we always maintain tradition and include as many yellows and reds as possible for our guests to enjoy. Our Chinese New Year display, along with the other displays, takes about six to seven days, with over 100 horticulturists working in shifts every 24 hours. We work with persistence to make sure every detail is perfect and that the 'wow' factor is presented at every point of contact for each and every guest that walks through our beautiful Conservatory & Botanical Gardens." MUSIC AND MARTIAL ARTS. During Bellagio's Chinese New Year display, the Conservatory hosts Chinese musicians performing traditional folk and pop music with authentic Chinese instruments, including the erhu, ruan and pipa. Complimentary performances take place daily from 5 p.m. through 6 p.m. within the South Garden for the duration of the exhibit. In addition, on Wednesday, Jan. 25 at 6:30 p.m., Yau Kung Moon, one of the mostrespected martial arts, dragon and lion dance organizations in the world, performs traditional Chinese lion dances. This venerable Southern Shaolin Kung Fu system, with more than 1,000 years of history, was introduced to the United States in the 1960s. Yau Kung Moon, considered one of the pioneers of Northern and Southern lion dancing (Nam Si Buk Mo), is known for its trademark gold uniforms and innovative routines. It has been recognized internationally for being the rst U.S. team to compete in the 1990 Invitational World Lion Dance Festival in Malaysia and has also nished as the nine-time undefeated Chinese National Lion Dance Champions. BELLAGIO'S JASMINE AND NOODLES RESTAURANTS FEATURE SPECIALTY MENUS FOR THE NEW YEAR. In celebration of the Year of the Dragon, Bellagio features specialty menus and authentic cuisine from the Far East at two of its celebrated restaurants. Jasmine (featuring nouvelle Cantonese, Szechwan and Hunan cuisine against a backdrop of authentic and replicated Chinese art inside a garden and lakeview destination) and Noodles (with authentic regional noodle dishes from Thailand, Japan, China and Vietnam) both offer guests a Dim Sum lunch buffet from Jan. 21 through 29. Bellagio, a AAA Five Diamond Award-winning resort, is located 3600 Las Vegas Blvd. S., Las Vegas. For information about events and activities connected with the Chinese New Year's celebration, visit www.bellagio.com or call (888) 987-6667.

Wahlberg does one last job in Contraband

By Christy Lemire
Yes, Contraband follows the triedand-true One Last Job formula. Yes, Mark Wahlberg is nestled deep within his comfort zone as a former master criminal whos lived a dangerous life and gone straight. Still, this is a solid genre picture that knows exactly what it is, has no delusions of grandeur and carries out its task in entertaining and occasionally even suspenseful fashion. That probably sounds like an elaborate way of saying, Hooray for mediocrity! But its January, and well take our thrills where we can get them. Based on the 2008 Icelandic film Reykjavik-Rotterdam and directed by that films star, Baltasar Kormakur, Contraband features Wahlberg as Chris Farraday, a one-time expert smuggler whos now living a quiet life as a security consultant in the New Orleans suburbs with his hairstylist wife, Kate (Kate Beckinsale), and their two young sons.
When Kates younger brother (Caleb Landry Jones) botches a job for volatile local drug dealer Tim Briggs (Giovanni Ribisi, tatted, high-pitched and squirrelly) while pulling into the Port of New Orleans, Chris must come out of retirement to make up the loss to this madman. His plan involves shipping down to Panama City to bring back millions in counterfeit bills; not only does this not go according to plan, it spins wildly out of control. Among the strong supporting cast, J.K. Simmons is the ships uptight captain; Lukas Haas plays Chris righthand man. Meanwhile, back in the bayou, Kate and the kids become targets of the drug dealers increasing threats, even though theyre supposed to be under the protection of Chris best friend and former partner in crime, Sebastian (Ben Foster). Beckinsale is stuck in a bit of a thankless role as the victimized wife, but she does try to infuse a harder edge to the character. Besides, another Underworld movie is coming out next week, so youll see her in full butt-kicking mode soon enough. Ribisi, by contrast, mas-
sively overdoes the crazy but at least its a hoot to watch. Kormakur relies too heavily on shakycam tricks and quick, needless zooms to pump up the tension, but some of his set pieces do play out in visceral fashion. An armored-car heist that Chris and his cohorts get roped into helping with at the last minute is one example; this sequence also has the daring to suggest that Wahlbergs character hasnt completely transformed himself into a nice or even decent guy after all. The Contraband script, written by Aaron Guzikowski, seems more interested in exploring the complexities of its characters interior lives than a lot of action movies, which is commendable. Theres also an amusing subplot involving a stolen Jackson Pollock painting thats smartly played for some subtle laughs, one that just goes to show that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Contraband, a Universal Pictures release, is rated R for violence, pervasive language and brief drug use. Running time: 109 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.
Contrabandis a genre picture that knows exactly what it is.

ing 12 lms, and they were showing Citizen Kane and The Bicycle Thief, that I could have one of mine in there with it, and they would say, Oh, yeah, thats one of the 12. Recent Allen films such as Whatever Works and You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger left fans and critics indifferent. But his movies almost always nd enough of an audience domestically and overseas to make their money back on modest budgets of generally less than $20 million. And Allen occasionally scores a mini-hit like Match Point or Vicky Cristina Barcelona, two of the seven lms he has shot in Europe in recent years after decades of shooting mainly in Manhattan. The upcoming Nero Fiddled is another light comedy, told through four simultaneous story lines, and it marks Allens rst time on screen since 2006s Scoop. He co-stars with Penelope Cruz, who won an Oscar for Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Alec Baldwin, Ellen Page, estingly with hers in The Deep End as a deeply protective mother. How did things go so off the rails? The ashbacks show Evas unease in pregnancy, staring fearfully at the bare bellies of fellow mothers-to-be. She wistfully recalls happier, more liberated days in New York City before Franklin, against her wishes, led her to the suburbs. Even at birth, shes advised by the doctor to stop resisting. When the baby comes, they seem mismatched from the start. Eva cant keep him from screaming, but Franklin somehow sooths him immediately. As a toddler, Kevin has already formed his erce, manipulative opposition, refusing to say mommy and calling her dumb. Evas attempts at motherly care cold though she is are eventually beaten down and she breaks, at one point seething: Every morning mommy wakes up and wishes she that I couldve potentially made a mistake with my lack of religious knowledge. On the way back from the game, I sipped my Gatorade and ipped through my pamphlet in the team van. Illustrations of football and basketball players were paired alongside phrases like, everybody sins. I chatted with some of my teammates about the possible intentions of the other school. The invitation to join in prayer, we decided, was completely friendly and welcoming, but we debated Jesse Eisenberg, Roberto Benigni, Greta Gerwig, Judy Davis and Alison Pill. Allen is trying to decide between another light comedy and a more serious idea for his next lm, which he plans to make this summer. Whichever he settles on, hes thinking about shooting it in the United States. For all the neuroses he displays on screen, Allen likes to point out that he comes from a long-lived family, with parents who both lived well beyond 90. Allen can see himself continuing his lm-a-year routine at 86 or even 96. If my health holds out and if people want to keep nancing my lms, why not? Allen said. Its not rocket science. I mean, its not such a Herculean task. Youre talking about a lm a year. Thats like saying to a cab driver, You want to do 10 fares a year? Im not doing a lm a month or some ridiculous thing. Were also pampered in show business, you know. Guys work these enormous schedules lawyers, teachers, doctors, they work around was in France. In another moment of weakness, she turns violent. By the time Kevin is a teenager, hes a smart, cynical, vulgar, sneering sociopath. He remains sweet to his blissfully unaware father, who calls him Kev and tragically greases his interest in archery. In a role that inevitably pulls toward horror cliche, Miller is believably nihilistic: Theres no point. Thats the point, he says. The script by Ramsay and Rory Stewart Kinnear, adapting Lionel Shrivers acclaimed novel, artfully blends these two timelines evoking Evas interior consciousness, where every moment recalls a precursor to the tragedy, a debate of her role in it. The visually gifted Ramsay and cinematographer Seamus McGarvey give the movie an ethereal, atmospheric feeling, aided by Jonny Greenwoods pulsating score. At times, the lm swaps Eva for Kevin: How much of Eva about their decision to leave us with religious literature. We couldnt imagine them doing the same if they played a school of another denomination and discussed the possibly awkward scenario of a Muslim student being handed a pamphlet that focused on Christianity. After a few more minutes of discussion, the general consensus was that the invitation and pamphlets had been kind, but we were later informed that we were the only school so far during that season whose whole

the clock all year long. In show business, what is it to do a lm? It sounds like a lot, but it isnt. If money or audiences for his lms ever dried up for good, Allen said he could not imagine sitting home and just twiddling my thumbs. Rather than retiring, he said he might write for the theater or work on a novel. But I feel thats older mans work. A lm while I have the vitality and the strength and the backers, why not make them? Allen said. If you have something to say and a good idea, the age is irrelevant. If I saw myself, cut to me in my 90s and Im making these lms that drone on and nobody sees them and theyre utterly irrelevant to everybody, thats pointless. But if I make a lm and it entertains people and they like it? If I made Midnight in Paris I mean, theres no reason I couldnt make that same lm, if I had the health, 20 years from now. is in Kevin? And vice versa? The focus blurs in and out. The structure of the lm leads it on a track that cant go anywhere but where it must: The massacre at the school. But leading suspense toward the fateful scene is dramatically unsatisfying. That it happened, which was long ago established, isnt the reveal We Need to Talk About Kevin needs. Its a pursuit of why, the answer to which the lm fails to grasp. Perhaps this is as it should be: The formation of such a monster can only be a mystery. But this thoroughly well-crafted, if rigidly conceived lm could use a little more talking at least some therapy! about Kevin. We Need to Talk About Kevin, an Oscilloscope Laboratories release, is rated R for disturbing violence and behavior, some sexuality and language. Running time: 112 minutes.

Were not sure how well react to the invitation the next time we play at Kings, but with our recent exposure to this new kind of sportsmanship, were considering adding some avor to our own post-game routine.

of magical casts the lmmaker has assembled over the decades. Roles in Allens lms have brought Oscars to Diane Keaton, Michael Caine, Dianne Wiest and others, while 1977s Annie Hall won best picture, director and original screenplay. Allen also won a screenplay Oscar for Hannah and Her Sisters. Even with such awards success, Allen talks about his lms as though theyre a lightweight body of work.

Swinton, a moviegoers pleasure even in darkness such as this, plays Eva as meekly resigned to her desolation.

Obama takes on big government

WASHINGTON Seeking more power to shrink the government, President Barack Obama on Friday suggested smashing six economic agencies into one, an election-year idea intended to halt bureaucratic nightmares and force Republicans to back him on one of their own favorite issues. The government we have is not the government we need, Obama told business owners hed gathered at the White House. Lawmakers seemed willing to at least consider his ideas. Sounding like a manager of a disorganized company, and looking like one by pointing to slides as he spoke, Obama
asked Congress to give him a kind of reorganization power no president has had since Ronald Reagan. It would guarantee Obama a vote, within 90 days, on any idea he offers to consoliBarack Obama date agencies, provided it saves money and cuts the government. His rst potential target: Merging six major trade and commerce agencies into a one-stop-shopping department for American businesses. The Commerce Department would be among those that would cease to exist.
Attacking senseless duplication across the executive branch he runs, Obama said: Why is it OK for our government? Its not. It has to change. Politically, Obama is seeking advantage on the turf often owned by Republicans: Smaller government. He is attempting to directly counter Republican arguments that he has presided over the kind of regulation, spending and debt that can undermine the economy a dominant theme of this years debate and one often cited by his potential re-election rival, Republican Mitt Romney. Obama said he would use his expanded authority to recommend the collapsing of

U.S.-Iran tensions rise

By Anne Gearan
WASHINGTON Tensions rising by the day, the Obama administration said Friday it is warning Iran through public and private channels against any action that threatens the ow of oil from the Persian Gulf. Spokesmen were vague on what the United States would do about Irans threat to block the strategic Strait of Hormuz, but military ofcials have been clear that the U.S. is readying for a possible naval clash. That prospect is the latest ashpoint with Iran, and one of the most serious. Although it currently overshadows the threat of war over Irans disputed nuclear program, perhaps beginning with an Israeli military strike on Irans nuclear structure, both simmering crises raise the possibility of a shooting war this year. We have to make sure we are
ready for any situation and have all options on the table, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said, addressing a soldiers question Thursday about Leon Panetta the overall risk of war with Iran. For several reasons, the risk of open conict with Tehran appears higher in this election year than at any point since President Barack Obama took ofce with a pledge to try to bridge 30 years of enmity. A clash would represent a failure of U.S. policy on several fronts, and vault now-dormant national security concerns into the presidential election contest. The U.S. still hopes that international pressure will persuade Iran to back down on its disputed nuclear program, but the Islamic regime shows no sign it would willingly give
up a project has become a point of national pride. A bomb, or the ability to quickly make one, could also be worth much more to Iran as a bargaining chip down the road. Time is short, with Iran making several leaps toward the ability to manufacture a weapon if it chooses to do so. Iran claims its nuclear development is intended for the peaceful production of nuclear energy. Meanwhile, several longstanding assumptions about U.S. inuence and the value of a targeted strike to stymie Irans progress toward a nuclear weapon have changed. For one, the White House is no longer condent it could prevail on Israel not to launch such a strike. An escalating covert campaign of sabotage and targeted assassinations highlighted by this weeks killing of an Iranian nuclear scientist may not be enough to head off a larger shooting war, and could prod Iran to strike rst.

GOP candidates fail to get on some primary ballots

Myanmar frees political prisoners

WASHINGTON Many of Mitt Romneys presidential challengers are having trouble fullling a fundamental requirement of running for public ofce: getting on the ballot. Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry and Jon Huntsman have all failed to qualify for the ballot in at least one upcoming GOP primary. In other states, they have failed to le full slates of delegates with state or party ofcials, raising questions about whether these candidates have the resources to wage effective national campaigns. And if one of them were able to marshal enough anti-Romney forces to challenge the front-runner, the ballot blunders could limit their ability to win delegates in key states. The exception: Ron Paul, who appears to have avoided such pitfalls so far. This is why you need a real-life, no-kidding-around campaign, said Rich Galen, a GOP strategist and former Gingrich aide who is neutral
in the 2012 race. All these guys who have been crowing that they found a new way to run for president, its like saying Im inventing a new airplane, and it has only one wing. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, won the rst two contests, in Iowa and New Hampshire, and he is leading in the polls in South Carolina and Florida, the next two states to have primaries. Romney raised $56 million in 2011 for his campaign, giving him big nancial and organizational advantages over his GOP rivals. Those advantages are on display as many of his competitors miss deadlines or fail to collect enough signatures to meet ballot requirements in upcoming contests. Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator who came within a few votes of winning the Iowa caucuses, didnt get on the ballot in Virginia or the District of Columbia. His campaign also led incomplete slates of delegates in Illinois and Ohio, which could limit
his ability to win delegates in those key states. Virginia has been a tough ballot to crack for several GOP candidates because the state requires campaigns to collect signatures from at least 10,000 registered voters. Romney and Paul were the only ones who made the ballot for the March 6 primary. Perry sued, and was later joined in the lawsuit by Gingrich, Huntsman and Santorum. But on Friday, a federal judge in Richmond refused to add them to the ballot, saying the candidates should have challenged Virginias primary qualifying rules earlier. Santorum is the only major candidate who will be left off the ballot in the District of Columbia primary April 3, said Paul Craney, executive director of the DC Republican Committee. The party provides two ways to get on the ballot: Pay $10,000, or pay $5,000 and collect signatures from 296 registered Republicans in the heavily Democratic capital city.
YANGON, Myanmar Myanmar freed some of its most famous political prisoners Friday, sparking jubilation among their supporters and signaling the governments readiness to meet Western demands for lifting economic sanctions. Among the 651 detainees released were political activists, leaders of brutally repressed democratic uprisings, a former prime minister, heads of ethnic minority groups, journalists and relatives of former dictator Ne Win. State media described the presidential pardon as allowing them to take part in nation-building. It was the latest in a urry of accelerating changes in Myanmar sought by the West, including the start of a dialogue with opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, legalizing labor unions and the signing of a cease-re in a long-running campaign against Karen insurgents. Myanmars leaders likely now feel the next move is up to the West to lift the onerous economic measures. President Barack Obama praised the release as a substantial step forward for democratic reform, and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said ambassadors
would be exchanged between the countries in response to the releases. The U.S. has not had an ambassador in Myanmar formerly known as Burma since downgrading its representation after a 1988 prodemocracy uprising was harshly put down by the army. But the United States and allies may take a wait-and-see approach on sanctions, to ensure that government truces with various ethnic rebel groups stay in effect, that discussions with Suu Kyi move forward, and that elections in April are free and fair. There has been a parade of top Western diplomats through Myanmar lately Clinton in December and British Foreign Secretary William Hague last week. French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe is scheduled to arrive Saturday. The message conveyed by Western countries has been clear: They are encouraged by the reform process under President Thein Sein, but economic and political sanctions could not be lifted unless the prisoners were freed. The various sanctions generally ban doing business with Myanmar, block nancial transfers, especially by military-backed leaders and their cronies, and also deny visas to the same VIPs.

Marines name general to handle video probes
WASHINGTON The Marine Corps on Friday laid the groundwork for deciding what, if any, disciplinary action will be taken in the case of an Internet video purporting to show Marine snipers urinating on dead bodies in Afghanistan. The top Marine ofcer, Gen. James Amos, appointed three-star Gen. Thomas Waldhauser to oversee the case. Waldhauser named another ofcer to do an internal Marine Corps investigation, which is in addition to a criminal probe under way by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. In Afghanistan, a senior US commander issued a letter to all personnel in the international coalition that is ghting the war, explicitly reminding them of the need to respect the dead.
Judge: John Edwards has serious heart condition

GREENSBORO, N.C. Ex-presidential candidate John Edwards has a serious heart condition that will require a medical procedure next month and his illness limits his travel including for an upcoming court case over possible campaign violations, his doctor told a judge, who delayed the trial. Federal Judge Catherine Eagles did not disclose the exact nature of Edwards illness Friday or what procedure he needed. However, she said the two-time presidential candidate had three episodes and indicated his condition could be life-threatening if left untreated. A cardiologist for the 58-year-old ex-North Carolina senator wrote two letters about his condition to Eagles, who talked about them during a hearing to consider whether the trial on six felony and misdemeanor counts should begin this month. Eagles said jury selection Congress would keep the nal say over any proposal. But fast-track power would give Obama a stronger hand to skip much of the outside lobbying and turf battles and get right to a vote. Congressional reaction was mixed, but generally followed a pattern from both parties support for making government more efcient,

Three killed at lumber company; gunman hurt

STAR, N.C. A gunman who opened re at a North Carolina lumber company targeted four of his co-workers with a shotgun Friday, killing three of them and critically injuring the other person, police said. Ronald Dean Davis went home after the rampage at the warehouse and shot himself in the head, leaving him critically wounded, Montgomery County Sheriff Dempsey Owens said. Davis, 50, was described as disgruntled, but the sheriff didnt say exactly what he was upset over. When a sheriffs deputy arrived at Davis house in Ether, in the central part of the state, they knocked on the door and no one answered. A deputy peered through the window and saw Davis sitting on the couch with his head hung down. and wariness about how Obamas plan could upend the trade American trade agenda or undermine the prerogatives of Congress. Republicans skeptically pointed to Obamas past promises as the size of the nations debt keeps growing. Its not often that we see real proposals from this administration to make government small-

Peru court sentences Van der Sloot to 28 years

LIMA, Peru A Peruvian court on Friday sentenced Joran van der Sloot to 28 years in prison for murder of a young woman he met at a Lima casino, even as the family of U.S. teenager Natalee Holloway sought to have him prosecuted in the U.S. over her disappearance in 2005. The decision comes two days after the young Dutchman pleaded guilty to killing Stephany Flores, a 21-year-old business student. The court also ordered him to pay $75,000 in reparations to the victims family, deeming the killing cruel and ferocious. er, said Rep. Fred Upton, the Michigan Republican who is chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. I look forward to reviewing the proposal and hope that it will be the rst of many to unravel the red tape. Indeed, Obama promised more plans to shrink things if given more power, citing inefciencies all across the government.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. You may examine the file kept by the court.
