A motorist who uses a hand-held cellphone while stopped at a red light can be prosecuted for using a wireless phone while driving, according to a decision by a state appeals court in San Francisco Monday. A three-judge Court of Appeal panel said a California law that prohibits the use of hand-
held wireless phones while driving applies to situations in which a motorist has stopped briey at a red light. The panel unanimously ruled that the denition of driving in the 2007 law includes being at the wheel during eeting pauses in trafc on public streets. Excluding such stops from the denition of driving would be contrary to the Legislatures intent and would likely result in signicant
and numerous public safety hazards on public roadways throughout the state, the court said. The panel upheld a $103 ne imposed on Carl Nelson in Contra Costa County Superior Court for using his hand-held cellphone when stopped at a red light in Richmond on the morning of Dec. 28, 2009. A police ofcer testied he saw Nelson dialing his phone and holding it to his ear while stopped, and said Nelson closed the
phone when he saw the ofcer and then drove on when the light turned green. Nelson argued in his appeal that a stop should not be legally dened as driving and that it is safe to use a cellphone when a car is stationary. But the appeals court said the Legislature was generally concerned about the use of hand-held wireless telephones in motor vehi-

Since the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce started policing Half Moon Bay in June, deputies have issued 89 percent more parking citations than the citys former police ofcers did during the same period in 2010. Moving citations were also up by 40 percent for the quarter between July and September compared to 2010, according to a Sheriffs Ofce report to the City Council. During the same quarter in 2010, there were 81 moving citations and 237 parking citations issued. In 2011, there were 113 moving citations and 447 parking citations issued during the same period. The uptick in issuing citations is due to a Community Service Ofcer dedicated to parking enforcement approximately 20 hours a week, according to the Sheriffs Ofce. The Sheriffs Ofce will give the council a quarterly update on police services at its meeting tonight. The report also indicates there has been a slight increase in
A dusting of snow over dark green pines and red berries along with beautifully decorated trees often featuring owls and squirrels create a base for the winter wonderland currently taking over at Filoli. Throughout the Filoli Center are boxes along with volunteers and staff scurrying to create an idyllic indoor setting inspired by a beautiful forested area like Tahoe or Yosemite after the rst show. The green provides a wonderful
home for the woodland creatures including the Wise Old Owl, which happens to be the theme for this years Holiday Traditions opening Friday, Nov. 25. In recent years, the owl has been a smaller character showcased in the products placed around the Filoli property that has quickly sold out. This year, its all about the owl and, of course, some friends like bears, squirrels and frogs. Filoli closes its doors for one month annually to allow for the transformation. Step one is removing the antique furniture which is replaced with items for sale chairs, tables and curio cabinets,
stuffed animals, clothing and garden supplies. Thousands of items will be sold during Holiday Traditions, the nineday event that combines music, dinner, dancing and shopping. It is Filolis top fundraiser. Linda Fujimoto, merchandise buyer for Holiday Traditions, was ready for this years owl challenge because, frankly, she loves owls. I love owls and elegant woods, she said noting the event has a wide variety of owls, many mixed in with branches

The Service League of San Mateo County, a nonprot that provides goods and services to the incarcerated population, is celebrating its half-century mark and recognizing 20 years of its program to transition inmates back into the community. The leagues work since its 1963 beginning results in lower recidivism, less homelessness and fewer relapses making communities safer and providing individuals and families with hope and the opportunity for a new life, Executive Director Mike Nevin said in a prepared statement. The league develops and delivers in-custody programs at all the countys jails and offers after-release opportunities at ve sites within San Mateo County. The league, with
help from the Sheriffs Ofce and donors, provides both inmates and former inmates access to programs, services and support networks that help them re-enter public life as contributing citizens and responsible family members. In 1990, the league created the Hope House program which offers a 180-day residential treatment program for women in the criminal justice system. After graduation from the structured environment, 85 percent of women participating are successfully reunited with their children, 70 percent remain clean and crime-free and 60 percent find gainful employment, according to the Service League. The Hope House program for men formerly known as the Freedom and Recovery House also focuses on transitioning from

A transient potentially facing Death Row for the fatal beating of an elderly Belmont man will learn next month if hes mentally fit to stand trial on murder and robbery charges. Doctors at a state mental hospital have found Tyler Hutchinson competent but his defense attorneys want a judge to render the nal decision. Yesterday, Judge Mark Forcum set a hearing for Dec. 9. If found incompetent, Hutchinson will return to the hospital but, if deemed able to aid his own defense, he will stand trial in the 2009 death of Albert Korn, 88, and for allegedly attacking correc-
tional ofcers while jailed after his arrest. Hutchinson is charged with first-degree murder, robbery and special allegations in Korns death two weeks after allegedly encountering him in the mans Hallmark Drive home. Prosecutors say Tyler Hutchinson Hutchinson had entered a back window of the house and beat Korn before fleeing with his wallet and jewelry in the mans car. Hutchinson was identified as the suspect
after being arrested for similar home invasion robberies in West Sacramento. After being convicted in those crimes, he was transferred to the Maguire Correctional Facility where he allegedly attacked two officers providing security for a maintenance worker in his cell. If Hutchinsons competence is affirmed, prosecutors must convince a judge there is enough evidence to hold him to answer on the charges. They must also decide whether to seek the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole. Hutchinson remains in custody without bail.

The suspect had red, watery eyes, was unsteady on his feet, had slurred speech and the deputy could smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath when he spoke to him. The deputy instructed the suspect to leave the area and to not return. The suspect then told the deputy he was not going to leave and instead challenged him to a physical ght, saying, I dont give a ... who you is, Im a Norteo from Media Luna, according to the Sheriffs Ofce. Due to his high level of intoxication and his inability to follow simple directions, the suspect, Luis Aguilar, 18, was placed under arrest for public intoxication. Aguilar was transported and booked into the Maguire Correctional Facility without incident, according to the Sheriffs Ofce.

develop talented public service employees. The 2011 Local Government Workforce Excellence Award, sponsored by the Center for State and Local Government Excellence, was also given to governments in Santa Clara County. We are committed to providing outstanding service to our community and the way to ensure that is by having well-trained and highly skilled employees, said Carole Groom, president of the Board of Supervisors, in a prepared statement. This national award highlights that commitment. Local governments in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties participate in a Two County Next Generation Committee, sponsored by the city/county manager associations, which work to accelerate employees development, retain high-potential talent and attract young and diverse people to their workforce. Initiatives to reach those goals include a management talent exchange program, a forum for future city and county managers, leadership academies and speed coaching events. The committee also offers a regional internship program a job shadow day for university students, a guide to local government careers and an annual forum for
Bay Area university career centers. Center president and CEO Elizabeth K. Kellar lauded San Mateo and Santa Clara counties for their efforts, saying they use economies of scale to address common goals and challenges. The Washington, D.C.-based center handed out the awards Friday, Nov. 11 at the National League of Cities Congress of Cities in Phoenix, Ariz.

WASHINGTON Sidestepping controversy, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., declined to take sides Monday on a proposal for higher tax revenues backed by fellow Republicans on Congress supercommittee, yet expressed condence the panel would agree on a decit-reduction plan of at least $1.2 trillion by a Nov. 23 deadline. A proposal for $300 billion in higher taxes has stirred grumbling within the ranks of congressional Republicans, for whom opposition to such measures has been political bedrock for more than two decades. Two of the partys presidential hopefuls said Monday they wouldnt support any committee decit-reduction plan that includes higher taxes.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, campaigning in Iowa, said he would do everything in my power to defeat any such proposal. A spokesman for Rick Perry said the Texas governor wants to look at details but if those details include a Eric Cantor tax increase hes not going to be for it. He does not favor higher taxes, added David Miner. Additionally, ofcials said that Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., who outlined the plan last week in a closed-door meeting of four Republicans and three Democrats, has encountered criticism from fellow conservatives despite strong credentials as an opponent of higher taxes.

OAKLAND Police clad in riot gear and armed with tear gas cleared out Oaklands anti-Wall Street encampment early Monday, the latest law enforcement crackdown amid complaints around the country of health and safety hazards at protest camps. The raid at the Occupy Oakland camp, one of the largest and most active sites in the movement, came a day after police in Portland, Ore., arrested more than 50 people while shutting down its camp amid complaints of drug use and sanitation issues. Police in Burlington, Vt., also evicted protesters after a man fatally shot himself last week inside a tent. Police staged a previous raid on the Oakland encampment Oct. 25, but Mayor Jean Quan allowed protesters to re-establish their tent city. On Monday, however, Quan said officials could no longer ignore the problems the camp posed. We came to this point because Occupy Oakland, I think, began to take a different path than the original movement, Quan said. The encampment became a place where we had repeated violence and last week a murder. We had to bring the camp to an end before

KAPOLEI, Hawaii Politicking in his boyhood home, President Barack Obama told supporters Monday that everything they worked for and that the country stands for is on the line in his 2012 re-election bid, warning of a bleak America should a Republican win. At ease in Hawaii, where he was born and vacations each year, Obama sprinkled his standard campaign speech with personal memories and called himself the hometown kid. But his message turned urgent in trying to get his backers to think of the Barack Obama next election as a choice between a vision of a big country of opportunity or one where regular people lose their voice. You kept up the ght for change long after the election was over, and that should make you proud, Obama said inside a lush resort on the western side of Oahu. It should make you hopeful. But it cant make you satised. He added: Everything we fought for in the last election is now at stake in the next election. The very core of what this country stands for is on the line.

BEIRUT Jordans king said Monday that Syrian President Bashar Assad should step down for the good of his country, the rst Arab leader to publicly make such a call as Syrias neighbors close ranks against an increasingly isolated regime. Syrias crackdown on an 8-month-old uprising has brought international condemnation, but Damascus generally has been spared broad reproach in the Arab world. That changed Saturday, with a near-unanimous vote by the 22-member Arab League to suspend Syria. Assad has tried to blunt the most serious threat to his familys 40-year dynasty by promising reform while also using the military to crack down on protests that refuse to abate despite 3,500 dead including at least 12 reported killed on Monday. He still has a rm grip on power, in part because the opposition remains fragmented and he retains the support of the business classes and minority groups who feel vulnera-
ble in an overwhelmingly Sunni nation. The 46year-old leader can ride out sanctions imposed by the U.S. and Europe at least in the near term as long as he has the support of key allies Russia, China and Iran. As the uprising wears Bashar Assad on, the regime could wobble. Sanctions are chipping away at the ailing economy, and a nancial collapse might persuade the middle classes to abandon their allegiance to Assad. The call by Jordans King Abdullah II for Assad to leave was the latest blow. If Bashar (Assad) has the interest of his country, he would step down, but he would also create an ability to reach out and start a new phase of Syrian political life, Abdullah told the BBC in an interview. If I was in his position, I would if it was me I would step down and make sure whoever comes behind me has the ability to change the status quo that were seeing, he said.

OPINION
earned 21 percent of the vote, a very naughty number for a leader who was supposed to set an example. In South San Francisco, Mullin, an experienced state politician received 45 percent of the vote. No mandate there, but perhaps Mullins connections with the legislature and Gov. Brown will earns the city a booby prize. Top vote earner in Belmont was incumbent Braunstein earning 36 percent of the vote. That is ugly sampling! Burlingames incumbent Jerry Deal earned top op with 36.7 percent of the vote on a non-voter bluff; if this was a statistical sampling of all voters who should have voted, hed still only garner 36.7 percent. There may be new leadership for school districts. However, I wouldnt count on it as the highest vote getter earned in all the districts received 40.9 percent. Of course you can take a seat with as little as 19 percent. And lets not forget that many money issues were defeated. It is time to consolidate our countys 24 school districts encompassing 66 schools just as we have selectively consolidated some police and re services. The real winners are a Redwood City charter amendment to sell or lease city land for private development garnered
s there one winner among those elected to public ofce during the unofcial returns in San Mateo County? I am not sure, but maybe. With the poor voter turnout at 22.25 percent, only one incumbent earned more than 50 percent of the vote. It is clear to me that it is time to regionalize our cities and consolidate services that might excite, unify and reduce spending. In Redwood City, the city re-elected the stodgy, business as usual, council representatives with no one garnering more than 23.5 percent of the vote. While these elected representatives rest on their laurels and complement one another on being a team with unnished business, they should all be ashamed that they didnt get 50 percent plus one vote. In San Carlos, the city did see t to unseat an incumbent, but that is not saying much since the highest vote getter received 34.9 percent of the votes. Royce has become a phantom and his ghost will haunt as he rolls along the halls and council chamber. First-time candidate Okamoto was the top vote getter in the race for Foster City Council with 22 percent. Millbraes Vice Mayor Colapietro,

61.2 percent. Of course, it was reported that this measure ew under the radar. The transient tax was passed by 72.9 percent. Shouldnt the citys Chamber of Commerce notify visitors to pay their dues or stay in cities with lower taxes and nicer amenities? Should we also notify our homeless and transients, theyll have to pay a tax to sleep in our parks or doorways? Perhaps well nd out in the next election. Oh, I forgot. Who won 52 percent of the vote? It was Terri Cook, who beat out Belmont Vice Mayor Dave Warden, who said, the clerks job could be done during some weeks by working only ve hours and the clerks ofce wasted a lot of paper. My bet, he is right, and this gives another argument for regionalism with maybe ve clerks ofces in the county supporting our 20 cities and unincorporated towns.

y dog has a drinking problem. No, not that kind of 12-step issue although if it were gin he lapped up by the cupful several times a day over the last month or so hed certainly be on the path to cirrhosis and infamy as a frat boy hazing victim. Instead, Riley has been sucking down bowls of water like hes preparing for the coming drought. Normally, I would think the unusual fondness for liquids is because of extra-warm weather. But the season is fall marching into winter. Or, maybe Id think hes exercising more than usual. But no, his idea of a workout short of his weekend hikes is still jumping back on my bed postbreakfast for naps part two, three and four. Perhaps he has too much salt in his diet? No, hes still chowing down the same orange and brown kibble he has since breaking out of the puppy years so unless there is a secret salt lick in the backyard his diet shouldnt be more sodium-laden than usual. These are the times the Internet is not your friend. Typing a human medical symptom into a search engine is bad enough for those who dont even verge on the precipice of hypochondria. Type in a few symptoms for a beloved pet and watch the mental gauge of worry and possibility spin nonstop. Diabetes is the number one answer for otherwise unexplainable excess thirst. But that diagnosis is typically coupled with other symptoms like lethargy and acetone-tinged breath. His age and breed didnt quite measure up to those prone to diabetes, either, but anybody who has ever had a health scare knows that family history and genetics arent a promise of protection. A call to the veterinarian turned up the same questions. Is he tired? Well, hes always borderline lazy when bacon treats and squeaky toys arent being offered. Hes excited in the mornings and when I return home but yes, lately, he does seem to be more prone to curl up for a nap than dig through the toy basket. His breath? I bravely took a whiff even though on a good day calling the scent dead sh-esque is kind. Nope, still shy and gross but not acetone. His age? He did just mark the big 0-5, closing in on over the hill in dog years. The vet suggested I bring him in for an exam just in case. Just in case is easily translated to draw up the will and get his affairs in order for a pet owner already in worry overdrive. So bring him in I did, agreeing to a full blood panel and urinalysis. They took the little fella in the back for the tests, I assume to protect my gentle eyes from the prodding as much as freeing them to manhandle as necessary. But how in the world will they convince a dog to pee on command? Its not as if they can just hand him a cup and direct him to the nearest rest room with orders to place the specimen in the window. The veterinary assistant laughed when I asked and shared the story of one woman who insisted on taking the sample herself at home. She chased the dog around the yard with a long-handled soup ladle, hoping to catch just the right moment. The veterinarians ofce takes a slightly different approach. Oh, we use a needle straight into the bladder, she said. Its the cleanest catch, she explained as she deposited my precious and slightly upset looking boy back on the exam table. Oh, poor doggy! Of course, if he had diabetes hed better get used to needles. My friend, the Internet, was nice enough to share stories of twice-daily insulin shots and hefty pharmaceutical bills. A day later, though, the results came back. All clean. No diabetes! No weird liver hormone malfunctions. And still no explanation for his recent desire to be the Joey Chestnut of liquids. Just let him drink as much as he wants, came the veterinary advice, coupled with a reminder for his annual teeth cleaning to combat the breath. As to prove the vet right, Riley took the news of his good health with indifference before drinking the water bowl dry and settling into dreamland. Meanwhile, I try settling into acceptance that diabetes or anything of the sort was simply barking up the wrong tree. Heres hoping his desire to drink is nothing more than that. Otherwise, his very human mother may be driven to a drinking problem of her own.

NEW YORK The stock market fell Monday after a jump in Italys borrowing costs reminded investors of how much work remains to be done to contain Europes debt problems. The Dow Jones industrial average lost nearly 75 points. Bank stocks fell the most. European markets also fell and the euro weakened against the dollar. Major indexes closed higher last week as Greece and Italy moved to form new governments and took other decisive steps to get their debt troubles under control. However worrisome signs re-emerged Monday. The Italian government had to pay 6.29 percent at an auction of five-year bonds, the highest rate since since 1997. Italy paid a much lower rate of 5.32 percent at a similar auction last month. Thats a sign investors are still concerned about Italys ability to repay its debts. Stocks tanked last Wednesday after key Italian borrowing rates jumped above 7 percent, a level widely seen as unsustainable. Also Italys biggest bank, Unicredit, reported a $14.4 billion loss. The problems these countries are dealing with go well beyond their prime
WASHINGTON The governments $900,000 fine Monday against an American Airlines afliate for holding hundreds of passengers on board planes for hours on an airport tarmac may serve as a deterrent to future such incidents. But industry analysts warned that may come with the price of more canceled ights. Even before the ne against American Eagle Airlines, airlines had cancelled more ights to avoid pushing up against
the new three-hour limit on tarmac delays the Department of Transportation imposed 20 months ago. Now, cancellations will shoot up even more, said airline analyst Michael Boyd. If theres a 20 percent chance of this happening, an airline will cancel, Boyd said, because of the potential for massive nes. Ken Quinn, a former Federal Aviation Administration chief counsel who now represents airlines, said the three-hour limit is having an inadvertent and anticonsumer effect. Airlines that violate the rule can be
ned as much as $27,500 per passenger, but transportation ofcials had held off ning air carriers in any of the several dozen instances where the rule has been broken until this week. Industry ofcials are watching for any action from DOT on a similar incident at the Hartford, Conn., airport during a freak snowstorm in October. The ne imposed on American Eagle was the largest penalty to be paid by an airline in a consumer protection case not involving civil rights violations, although airlines have paid much higher nes for violating federal safety regulations.

Buffetts firm reveals several new investments
OMAHA, Neb. Warren Buffetts company revealed new stakes in Intel, DirecTV, General Dynamics and CVS Caremark to accompany Berkshire Hathaway Inc.s headlinemaking investment in IBM. Berkshire disclosed the new investments Monday in a quarterly update it led on its U.S. stock holdings. Buffett announced Berkshires purchase of more than 5 percent of IBMs stock during an earlier interview. Berkshire estimates that each of the new investments, besides IBM, were worth less than $200 million at the end of September. That dollar gure suggests those investments were made by Berkshires new investment manager Todd Combs, who manages between $1 billion and $3 billion.

For the second season in a row, the Peninsula Athletic League qualied nine teams in the ve different divisions of Central Coast Section playoffs. The PAL gets six automatic berths the top four teams from the Bay Division, and the division winners of the Ocean and Lake. Like last season, the PAL then had three other teams receive at-large berths all coming from the Ocean Division. And yet, according to PAL commissioner Terry Stogner, there is still not a lot of respect given to the PAL when it comes to football. [Other leagues in CCS] want to adjust [the qualification system] because the PAL is too successful, Stogner said. Earning a bid to the CCS football playoffs in based on a points system. Depending on the strength of a league, they are assigned a certain number of points for playing and/or beating teams in their league. Bonus points are earned if a team is a league or division champion, and extra points are also earned for playing a league champ and even more if you beat them. All those points are added up and CCS takes the teams with the top 40 scores and slots them in the various divisions. The Open Division is for those teams that earn the most points and/or volunteer to play in that division. The top eight Division I schools are placed in that bracket and so on down to Division IV. Stogner said there were rumblings at the CCS seeding meeting about changing the way teams are chosen. Until then, however, Stogner and the PAL are playing by the rules CCS implemented. We are playing by the rules the way theyre set up, Stogner said. We earned it and were coming. And while some in CCS may not think the PAL deserves to get nine teams into the playoffs, some in the PAL dont care what others think. At this point, who cares? asked Aragon coach Steve Sell, whose team nished in second place in the PAL Ocean Division and earned the No. 4 seed in the Division II bracket. Years ago, we had to represent the PAL. Years ago, we had to gain respect. Maybe Im old, but I could care less what any league thinks of our league. The point system was voted on by everybody. If it puts a lot of teams from our league into the playoffs, so be it.
Padres decision OK by me
hile there were rumblings at the Central Coast Section football playoff seedings about nine Peninsula Athletic League teams getting in, there were grumblings about the Serra football team deciding against volunteering to move up into CCSs premiere bracket the Open Division. While others may question the Padres staying in their division of enrollment, Division I, you wont get any second-guessing from the Sports Lounge. I applaud coach Patrick Walsh, along with the team and school administrators, for going against what everyone expected and instead decide to compete in the division that gives them the best chance of success. After all, what is the point of competing in CCS? Is it not to compete for championships? Serra (for the most part), along with nearly every other member of the West Catholic Athletic League, believes winning a WCAL title is even greater than a CCS crown. Walsh is questioning that line of thinking. While he would love to win a WCAL title year in and year out, the truth of the matter is, the general high-school-sportswatching public is only interested in who won CCS. No coach or player is rarely asked: did you win your league? No, the question most often asked: how did you do in CCS? In fact, Walsh is looking even beyond a section title and starting to think in terms of a state championship. To even be in the discussion of playing in a state title game, a team has to win a section championship. Doing so in Division I is innitely easier than running the gauntlet that is the CCS Open Division. To do so, someone is going to have to knock off Bellarmine, which is ranked No. 2 in Northern
In addition to the six automatic CCS bids the PAL receives,Aragon,top,South City,above left,and Menlo School, above right,all earned at-large bids.

said nuclear winter is coming. Were prepared to le this antitrust action against the NBA, union executive director Billy Hunter said. Thats the
best situation where players can get their due process. And thats a tragedy as far as Stern is concerned. It looks like the 2011-12 season is really in jeopardy, Stern said in an interview aired on ESPN. Its just a big charade. To do it now, the union is ratcheting up I guess to see if they can scare the NBA owners or something. Thats not happening.
Hunter said players were not prepared to agree to Sterns ultimatum to accept the current proposal or face a worse one, saying they thought it was extremely unfair. And theyre aware what this battle might cost them. We understand the consequences of potentially missing the season; we understand the consequences

SANTA CLARA Jim Harbaugh, the man of no comparisons, is suddenly generating buzz that his spot-on, creative coaching resembles that of the late Hall of Famer, Bill Walsh and that his 49ers are performing much like those great San Francisco teams of old. Alex Smith, the oft-maligned former rst-round pick, is now the Bay Areas quarterback of the hour after another Harbaugh-groomed QB, Stanfords Andrew Luck, faltered on The Farm against Oregon and might have hurt his Heisman Trophy chances in the process. Ricky Jean Francois, the outspoken defensive tackle, has no qualms acknowledging the 49ers finally silenced any remaining doubters after Sundays thrilling 27-20 victory against the New York Giants and fellow NFC division leader. It might change the perspective of everybody now, that were not just a team thats a joke, Francois said Monday. Were a team to actually take serious. Last night I was watching NFL Network and I heard Deion Sanders say he wasnt giving us our
props and we werent a team to take serious. But now that we won the game, everybodys taking us serious. Everybody was probably looking at us like, Theyre not that good, they have certain things they need still to work on. Dont get me wrong, were not perfect. Were still working on a lot of things offense, defense special teams because weve got to make sure every game we win with all three phases. To us, it doesnt matter if the league takes us serious. Six straight wins and the secondbest record in the NFL hadnt quite done the trick for some skeptics, who still questioned whether the Niners truly were among the leagues top teams. Harbaughs resurgent group is 8-1 for the franchises best start in 14 years and needs only one more victory NFC West rival Arizona comes to town Sunday for its rst winning record since 2002. Clinching the first playoff berth since 02 also could happen soon if San Francisco keeps winning. Harbaugh made his message clear a month ago after a win at previously unbeaten Detroit: If the 49ers success offends you, so be it. The men he works with every day

have taken on that mentality from Day 1 under their new coach, some even sounding an awful lot like Harbaugh when they speak. Justin Smith made the play of the game Sunday when he batted down Eli Mannings nal pass attempt on fourth down from the 10 to seal it in the waning minutes. Whether the win over the Giants will change the outside worlds perception of the 49ers, they dont really care. It depends on who you ask. Do I think we made a statement? linebacker Parys Haralson said. I think we went out and we won a game that shows were a football team to be reckoned with. A football team that began the week tied with the reigning Super Bowl champion Packers for the NFLs most wins and riding a sevengame winning streak. Green Bay was set to put its 8-0 record on the line Monday night against
Minnesota at Lambeau Field. Smith led his fourth comeback in the fourth quarter this season and did so without relying on star running back Frank Gore, who was limited because of a right knee injury that was being evaluated Monday. Harbaugh said Gore would undergo further tests. The two-time Pro Bowler took part in only one play in the third quarter and was held to zero yards on six carries his rst career game without a yard when he played. That after a franchise-record ve straight performances of 100 yards or more rushing. Hell get it checked on, yeah. Spare no expense checking on Frank, Harbaugh said. I would plan on him playing, but you just feel like right now, weve got a stable of backs. Weve got Frank Gore, weve got Kendall Hunter, weve got fresh legs in Anthony Dixon. This bodes really well for our football team. Smith, San Franciscos No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 draft out of Utah, has come into his own at last under Harbaugh. He completed 19 of 30 passes for 242 yards and a touchdown Sunday, throwing one interception with two sacks.
ALAMEDA Oakland Raiders running back Darren McFadden and wide receiver Jacoby Ford missed practice Monday, leaving both questionable for this weekends game in Minnesota. McFadden continues to make progress from the mid-foot sprain that has kept him out of the Raiders last two games but has yet to resume full workouts. Ford is wearing a protective walking boot after injuring his foot in last Thursdays win over San Diego. Neither player even attended Oaklands rst practice since a twoday break, and coach Hue Jackson declined to say what the chances were for McFadden or Ford being available for Sundays game at
Minnesota. We have a team of doctors that handle that, Jackson said. Theyre normally going to tell me when a guy can play and I trust their judgment and what they do. Nobodys been ruled out as of now, so well go through the week and see where were at. The way backups Michael Bush and Denarius Moore played in Oaklands 24-17 win over the Chargers, it might not matter much. Bush ran for a season-high 157 yards and a touchdown and had another 85 yards in receptions. The 242 yards from scrimmage were the most by a Raiders player since Bo Jackson had 235 against Seattle on Nov. 30, 1987, and the fourth-most in franchise history. Moore nearly outdid him.
The rookie receiver from Tennessee caught seven passes for 143 yards and two touchdowns and repeatedly gouged San Diegos secondary for big gains. Darren Included in McFadden Moores night was a remarkable 46-yarder that he caught with his ngertips wrapped around the point on the ball after the pass from quarterback Carson Palmer sailed over Moores head. That win, coupled with Denver beating Kansas City on Sunday, gave Oakland sole possession of rst place in the AFC West. Its the rst time since 2002 that the Raiders have had
the outright division lead this late in the season. Jackson has had to juggle his lineup most of the year due to players being hurt. In addition to McFadden and Ford, quarterback Jason Campbell, center Samson Satele, fullback Marcel Reece, tight end Kevin Boss and reserve wide receiver Louis Murphy have all missed playing time as a result of injuries. McFadden has not practiced since getting hurt against Kansas City on Oct. 23. He limped through the locker room with the aid of crutches and his right foot in a boot the following day and has made slow progress since. I know were getting closer to getting him back out here, Jackson said. I know hes working his tail off.
When I saw him this morning he looked good. Until we get closer later on in the week and we know exactly where he is, I dont want to speculate. Ford, who doubles as Oaklands kick returner, went down with a similar foot injury against San Diego on Thursday. He was scheduled to undergo an MRI over the weekend but the results were not yet available. Moore, who lled in on offense when Ford got hurt, will also replace him on special teams if the secondyear wide receiver is unable to play against Minnesota. Were going to know more as we move through the week, Jackson said. By (Tuesday) when we really start laying all the foundation for a game plan, I have to know who has a possibility of playing, at least.

Kimbrel,Hellickson are NASCAR gets its version of Game 7 MLB rookies of the year
By Ben Walker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Atlanta Braves closer Craig Kimbrel became the NL Rookie of the Year in a unanimous vote and Tampa Bay pitcher Jeremy Hellickson was a clear winner for the AL award Monday. Kimbrel set a major league record for saves by a rookie with 46. The hard-throwing right-hander earned all 32 rst-place votes in balloting by the Baseball WritersAssociation of America. Kimbrel outpointed Braves teammate Freddie Freeman. Hellickson went 13-10 with a 2.95 ERA in helping the Rays win the AL wild-card spot. He drew 17 of 28 rst-place votes and nished well ahead of Los Angeles Angels rst baseman Mark Trumbo. The AL Cy Young Award will be announced Tuesday. Detroit ace Justin Verlander is expected to easily win. Kimbrel was overpowering for much of the season, striking out 127 in 77 innings. He also anchored a dominant Braves bullpen, pitching 79 games. He was 4-3 with a 2.10 ERA. The 23-year-old Kimbrel made 38 straight appearances in midseason without allowing a run. He seemed to wear down a bit in the stretch as the Braves frittered away a 10 1/2-game lead in the NL wild-card race. His eighth blown save of the year came in the nal game of the season, when he gave up the tying run in the ninth inning against Philadelphia. The Phillies went on to win in 13 innings, costing the Braves a spot in a one-game playoff against St. Louis for the wild-card slot. Kimbrel wound up tied for Milwaukees John Axford for the NL lead in saves. He became the 10th unanimous NL rookie winner, and rst since Albert Pujols in 2001. Kimbrel was the seventh Braves player to win the award that began in 1947, and rst since Rafael Furcal in 2000. Kimbrel, who pitched 21 games in 2010 but still retained his rookie eligibility, earned 160 points in the BBWAA balloting. Freeman, who hit .282 with 21 home runs and 76 RBIs. was second with 21 second-place votes and 70 points. Kimbrel and Freeman became the rst pair of teammates to nish 1-2 in the NL rookie voting since Cubs outelders Jerome Walton and Dwight Smith in 1989.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. NASCAR has tinkered and tweaked and tried time and again to create a championship system that would resonate with sports fans. The goal was to get a Game 7 type moment that developed into cant-miss-TV. Now, after several tweaks to the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship format, NASCAR seems to have exactly what it wanted with a two-driver title ght heading into Sundays season nale at HomesteadMiami Speedway. Its Carl Edwards going for his rst Cup title over two-time champion Tony Stewart in a battle between two NASCAR drivers who are well recognized beyond industry lines. Edwards goes into the nale clinging to a
three-point lead over Stewart, and both drivers have been at the top of their game the last month. They nished second and third at Phoenix on Sunday to eliminate everyone else from title contention and ensure one of them will take the Cup next weekend from ve-time defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson. Its the best points battle Ive been a part of at this level, Edwards said. I still dont understand why were both running so good. Seems like subconsciously were both able to dig down and our teams are able to give us what we need and everybody has been performing at a high level. Its been neat that this battle has brought out the best in us. Its also brought out the best in NASCAR, which heads into its championship weekend with some healthy momentum and exciting
story lines that have boosted interest. Through the rst eight Chase races, ratings are up more than 7 percent from 2010, and the overnight numbers from the major markets following Sundays race at Phoenix were at 2.7 up from 2.4 last year. The Nationwide Series will crown a new champion on Saturday and, under new participation rules set this season, it wont be a NASCAR superstar. Because drivers were allowed to collect points in only one series this year, the title focus has been on the Nationwide and Trucks Series regulars. Ricky Stenhouse Jr., a 24-year-old in the Roush Fenway Racing development system, will win his rst NASCAR championship with a nish of 37th or better in Saturdays race. Hell be the rst non-Cup driver to win that series title since Martin Truex Jr.

deal, with owners desires for more competitive balance clashing with players wishes to keep the salary cap system largely intact. The sides last met Thursday, when the league offered a revised proposal but told the players there would be no further negotiating on it. Stern, who is a lawyer, had urged players to take the deal on the table, saying its the best the NBA could offer and advised that decertication is not a winning strategy. Players ignored that warning, choosing instead to dissolve the union, giving them a chance to win several billion dollars in triple damages in an antitrust lawsuit. This is the best decision for the players, union president Derek Fisher said. I want to reiterate that point, that a lot of individual players have a lot of things personally at stake in terms of their careers and where they stand. And right now they feel its important we all feel its important to all our players, not just the ones in this room, but our entire group that we not only try to get a deal done for today but for the body of NBA players that will come into this league over the next decade and beyond. Fisher, anked at a press conference by dozens player representatives and superstars including Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony, said the decision was unanimous. But there were surely players throughout the league who would have preferred union leadership put the proposal to a vote favor, if for only one time. While some may question Serras decision, I wonder if that same scrutiny is being given to Palma-Salinas and Valley Christian-San Jose? Both those teams traditionally opt up to the Open Division, but both decided to stay in their enrollment division Palma (8-1-1) is seeded No. 1 in Division IV, while Valley Christian (5-5) is No. 3 in Division III. Some may say that having the WCAL schools play in divisions other than the Open Division denies the opportunity for other teams to win CCS titles. It was generally assumed, over the year, the WCAL would win the most prestigious title (the Open Division) and leave the lesser titles to other schools. Well who decreed the Open Division the end all, be all when it comes to CCS? Sure, usually the best teams in CCS play in the Open, but that does not at all diminish the fact that Terra Nova (Division III) and Sacred Heart Prep (Division IV) won CCS titles last year. The argument to that, however, is that by spreading the WCAL teams throughout the rest of the bracket, it all but denies schools from any other league from winning a CCS championship. That, in turn, leads to the whole discussion of separate brackets for private and public schools, which is a whole other discussion for another time. The bottom line is this: given the way CCS is currently set up, if the whole point is to put your team in the best position to win, how can you fault Serra? of the full membership, with many ready to go back to work. The sides still can negotiate during the legal process, so players didnt want to write off the season just yet. I dont want to make any assumptions, union VP Keyon Dooling said. I believe well continue to try to get a deal done or let this process play out. I dont know what to expect from this process. Hunter said the NBPAs notice of disclaimer was led with Sterns ofce about an hour before the news conference announcing the move. Now, the NBPA is in the process of converting to a trade association as the ght shifts to the courts. The fact that the two biggest legal adversaries in the NFL players dispute over the NFL lockout both agree that the NBA lockout is now illegal and subject to triple damages speaks for itself, Kessler said in an email to The Associated Press. I am delighted to work together with David Boies on behalf of the NBA players. Hunter said the bargaining process had completely broken down. Players made numerous economic concessions and were willing to meet the owners demands of a 50-50 split of basketball-related income a transfer of about $280 million annually from their feeling the leagues desires to improve competitive balance would hurt their guaranteed 57 percent under the old deal but only if the owners met them on their system wishes.

that players could potentially face if things dont go our way, but its a risk worth taking, union vice president Maurice Evans said. Its the right move to do. But its risky. Hunter said all players will be represented in a class-action suit against the NBA by attorneys Jeffrey Kessler and David Boies who were on opposite sides of the NFL labor dispute, Kessler working for the players, Boies for the league. Mr. Kessler got his way, and were about to go into the nuclear winter of the NBA, Stern told ESPN. If I were a player ... I would be wondering what it is that Billy Hunter just did. The league already has led a pre-emptive lawsuit seeking to prove the lockout is legal and contends that without a union that collectively bargained them, the players guaranteed contracts could legally be voided. During oral arguments on Nov. 2, the NBA asked U.S. District Judge Paul Gardephe to decide the legality of its lockout, but he was reluctant to wade into the leagues labor mess. Gardephe has yet to issue a ruling. Two years of bargaining couldnt produce a
This deal could have been done. It should have been done, Hunter said. Weve given and given and given, and they got to the place where they just reached for too much and the players decided to push back. Over the weekend, Stern said he would not cancel the season this week. Regardless, damage already has been done, in many ways. Financially, both sides have lost hundreds of millions because of the games missed and the countless more that will be wiped out before play resumes. Team employees are losing money, and in some cases, jobs. And both the owners and players eventually must regain the loyalty of an angered fan base that wonders how the league reached this low point after such a strong 2010-11 season. Its horrible, said Ty Agee, president of the Beale Street Merchants Association in Memphis, Tenn. This is bad. Personally, I dont believe they will be able to x it. This is really, really bad. And it was seemingly destined. Hunter said he believed years ago owners were going to lock out the players until they could force through the changes they sought. Given that, he has been criticized for not disbanding the union sooner in hopes of creating some leverage that the union never had. The proposal rejected by the players called for a 72-game season beginning Dec. 15.

If Bellarmine wins the CCS Open Division, its all but assured the Division I state spot. But what if the Bells come up short? Serra, which is ranked No. 10 by Cal-Hi Sports, could conceivably grab that spot assuming the Padres win the CCS Division I title and other games in other sections break their way. Thats a lot to digest right now, and considering were still two weeks away from deciding CCS champions, that will all play out in due time. The other reason I dont have a problem with Serra deciding to stay down is threefold: one, they are under no obligation, other than peer pressure, to opt to play in the Open Division. Secondly, the Padres, interestingly enough, did not even have enough points to force their inclusion in the Open. Both Leland and Terra Nova had accumulated more power points and thus, were pulled up into the Open Division bracket by CCS ofcials. The third reason is this: if Im Serra, Im sick and tired of playing WCAL schools again and again in the playoffs, after already playing them once in league play. Add in the fact Serra, which has dominated the Peninsula for the last decade, has had one CCS home game, and its understandable the Padres might want to stack the deck in their

PAL
Continued from page 11
The Blossom Valley Athletic League, comprised of 24 teams, is the largest in CCS and, like the PAL, is split into three divisions based on competitiveness in their league. The BVAL had seven teams qualify. The Santa Clara Valley Athletic League, which is divided into two divisions, also had seven teams qualify for the playoffs, including six of the seven teams in the ultra competitive De Anza Division. Ill give the De Anza its just due. They are a great, great league, Sell said. I went and watched two teams from another A league play last Thursday night. Virtually every team in the entire PAL would have beat one of those teams I saw play. Regardless of what those in other leagues may think, they cant argue with the PALs success over the last several seasons. Since 2002, the PAL has won seven CCS titles and sent another ve teams to the championship game.
Sell believes the PAL benets from having teams qualify in every division: from MenloAtherton in Division I to Sacred Heart Prep in Division IV. Sell uses a track analogy to explain the PALs prevalence in CCS. A track team can win a team championship with a very small team, assuming those athletes win every event in which they compete. A large, deep track team can win without winning a slew of events, but by picking up points by nishing third, fourth and fth in the events in which they do compete. The other thing about our league is, were deep and were diverse. Were diverse in our (school) sizes. We have great teams in Division IV and great teams in Division I, Sell said. To use the track meet analogy again, we have someone in every event. [The PAL is] a deep, deep league. There are good football teams. Tell me one of the nine teams that arent playoff worthy. Theyve all beat good people. Is this league ever going to produce an Open Division champion? Maybe not, but there will plenty of Division III and Division IV (crowns). Hopefully well have someone in the seminals in every division (this season).

WASHINGTON Suspended animation may not be just for sci- movies anymore: Trauma surgeons soon will try plunging some critically injured people into a deep chill cooling their body temperatures as low as 50 degrees in hopes of saving their lives. Many trauma patients have injuries that should be xable but they bleed to death before doctors can patch them up. The new theory: Putting them into extreme hypothermia just might allow them to survive without brain damage for about an hour so surgeons can do their work. In a high-stakes experiment funded by the Defense Department, the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center is preparing to test that strategy on a handful of trauma victims who are bleeding so badly from gunshots, stab wounds or similar injuries that their hearts stop beating. Today when that happens, a mere 7 percent of patients survive. Get cold enough and you do OK with no blood for a while, says lead researcher Dr. Samuel Tisherman, a University of Pittsburgh critical care specialist. We think we can buy time. We think its better than anything else we have at the moment, and could have a signicant impact in saving a bunch of patients. Tisherman calls the rescue attempt emergency preservation and resuscitation, EPR instead of CPR. His team plans to begin testing it early next year in Pittsburgh and then expanding the study to the University of Maryland in Baltimore. If the dramatic approach works, it will spur some rethinking about that line between life and death, says Dr. Arthur Caplan, a University of Pennsylvania bioethicist who is watching the research. But before the rst candidates get chilled, the scientists face a hurdle: The law requires that patients consent to be part of medical experiments after theyre told the pros and cons. Thats impossible when the person is bleeding to death. There wont even be time to seek a relatives permission. So starting Tuesday, the Pittsburgh team is beginning a campaign required by the Food and Drug Administration to educate area residents about the study instead with signs on city buses, video on YouTube, a website and two town-hall meetings next month.

Doctors have long sought to use hypothermia in medicine since discovering that cooling can slow the metabolism of the brain and other organs,meaning they can go without oxygen for longer periods.
worried about possible risks, such as brain damage, could sign a list saying theyd opt out if they ever were severely injured. Go even a few minutes without oxygen and the brain in particular can suffer signicant damage. Doctors have long sought to use hypothermia in medicine since discovering that cooling can slow the metabolism of the brain and other organs, meaning they can go without oxygen for longer periods. Donated organs are chilled to preserve them, for example. And people whose hearts are shocked back into beating after whats called cardiac arrest often are iced down to about 90 or 91 degrees, mild hypothermia that allows the brain to recover from damage that began in those moments between their collapse and revival. But the CPR that buys time during more routine cardiac arrest doesnt help trauma patients whove already lost massive amounts of blood. Injuries are the nations fth-leading killer, and hemorrhage is one of the main reasons, says Dr. Hasan Alam of Massachusetts General Hospital, who is collaborating with the Pitt study. Enter deep hypothermia, dropping body temperature to around 50 degrees. It has worked in dogs and pigs, animals considered a model for human trauma, in experiments over the past decade conducted by Tisherman, Alam and a few other research groups. The animals were sedated and bled until their hearts stopped. Ice-cold fluids were flushed through the bodys largest artery, deep-chilling rst the brain and heart and then the rest of the body. After more than two hours in this limbo, they were sewn up, gradually warmed and put on a heart-lung machine to restart blood ow. Most survived what should have been a lethal injury and most appeared to be cognitively ne, Tisherman and Alam say. Hypothermia is counterintuitive for trauma because the cold inhibits blood clotting, something to watch while rewarming people in the planned study.
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court on Monday promised an extraordinarily thorough springtime review of President Barack Obamas historic health care overhaul more than ve hours of argument, unprecedented in modern times in time for a likely ruling affecting millions of Americans just before the presidential election. That ruling, expected before next summers Independence Day holiday, could determine the fate of Obamas signature domestic achievement, the most far reaching domestic legislation in a generation but a political lightning rod as well. It is vigorously opposed by all of Obamas prospective GOP opponents. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act aims to provide health insurance to more than 30 million previously uninsured Americans. But Republicans have branded the law unconstitutional since before Obama signed it in a ceremony in March 2010. The courts ruling could be its most signicant and political decision since George W. Bushs 2000 presidential election victory. But the justices left themselves an opening to defer the outcome if they choose, by requesting arguments on one lower courts ruling that a decision must wait until 2015, when one of the laws many provisions takes effect. Legal experts have offered a range of opinions about what the high court might do. Many prominent Supreme Court lawyers believe the law will be upheld by a lopsided vote, with Republican and Democratic appointees ruling in its favor. But others predict a close outcome, with Justice Anthony Kennedy, a Republican appointee who sometimes joins his four colleagues appointed by Democratic presidents, holding the deciding vote on the nine-member court. The White House has pushed for a nal ruling as soon as possible, and Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer said the administration was pleased the justices agreed to take the case now, with arguments in March.

to enter into contracts with private insurance companies for the purchase of an expensive product from the time they are born until the time they die. The Atlanta court is the only one of four appellate courts that found the mandate unconstitutional. The federal appeals court in Cincinnati upheld the entire law, as did appellate judges in Washington, D.C., in recent days. The appellate court in Richmond, Va., ruled a judicial decision on the law cannot be rendered until 2015, after the penalties for not having insurance have gone into effect. Supporters have been encouraged that the appellate rulings in Cincinnati and Washington to uphold the law were joined by two prominent conservative judges appointed by Republican presidents: Jeffrey Sutton, appointed by George W. Bush, and Laurence Silberman, appointed by Ronald Reagan. In Atlanta, however, Frank Hull, appointed by President Bill Clinton, joined with a Republican colleague in striking down the mandate. Earlier District Court rulings followed political afliation: Judges appointed by Democratic presidents upheld the law, while Republican appointees struck it down. In addition to deciding the constitutionality of the central mandate, the justices also will determine whether the rest of the law can take effect even if that core is held unconstitutional. The laws opponents say the whole thing should fall if the individual mandate falls. The administration counters that most of the law still could function, but says that requirements that insurers cover anyone and not set higher rates for people with pre-existing conditions are inextricably linked with the mandate and shouldnt remain in place without it. The court also will look at the expansion of the joint federal-state Medicaid program that provides health care to poorer Americans, even though no lower court called that provision into question. Florida and 25 other states argued unsuccessfully in lower courts that the law goes too far in coercing them to participate by threatening a cutoff of federal money. The states contend that the vast Medicaid expansion and the requirement that employers offer health insurance violate the Constitution. The court recognized the seriousness
MIAMI Contractors paid tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to detect fraudulent Medicare claims are using inaccurate and inconsistent data that makes it extremely difcult to catch bogus bills submitted by crooks, according to an inspector generals report released Monday. Medicares contractor system has morphed into a complicated labyrinth, with one set of contractors paying claims and another combing through those claims in an effort to stop an estimated $60 billion a year in fraud. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services inspector generals report obtained by the Associated Press before its ofcial release found repeated problems among the fraud contractors over a decade and systemic failures by federal health ofcials to adequately supervise them. Health ofcials are supposed to look at key criteria to nd out whether contractors are effectively doing their job for instance, how many investigations the contractors initiate. But investigators found that health ofcials sometimes ignored whether contractors were opening any investigations at all. The contractors are supposed to detect fraud by checking for spikes in basic data, such as what type of service was given, how much of it was given and how much it cost. But contractors were reporting their progress in different ways, and some of the information they turned over to federal health ofcials about their performance was inaccurate. The same issues were identied 10 years ago by inspector general investigators, and dozens of reports in the past decade also have found problems. In 2001, acting Inspector General Michael Mangano testied that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services wasnt doing a good job of holding contractors accountable. The issues we identied have been problematic for some time and present a serious obstacle to overseeing the contractors, Inspector General Daniel R. Levinson wrote in Mondays report. Medicare ofcials have repeatedly said the latest system of fraud contractors was designed to x the problems with earlier contractors and allow the agency to better monitor them. Critics say fraud contractors have been revamped over the years, but nagging problems persist. Investigators found that one contractor referred only two cases of potential fraud to Medicare ofcials between 2005 and 2008; another did not refer any. But they may have no incentive to refer cases because they are not paid contingency fees for doing so, investigators said. Many experts agree. Very few private contractors have nancial incentives which are genuinely linked to protection of public funds, said Malcolm Sparrow, a health care fraud expert at Harvard University. In 2010, inspector general ofcials testied on Capitol Hill that contractors reviewing fraud in Medicares prescription drug program also faced serious problems. One contractor didnt receive certain data until nearly one year after being awarded the contract.
important that we put to rest once and for all the issue of maybe the law will disappear, said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Republicans also said they were happy the high court would hear arguments on the constitutionality of the provision at the heart of the law and three other questions about the act. The central provision in question is the requirement that individuals buy health insurance starting in 2014 or pay a penalty. That the Supreme Court is taking this up, I think, is a positive signal that there are legitimate concerns surrounding the constitutional aspects of mandating that individuals purchase health care insurance and purchase it according to Washingtons guidelines, said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia. The exceptional ve and a half hours allotted for argument demonstrates the signicance the justices see in this case. Normally, they allow only one hour, split between two sides. In the modern era, the last time the court increased that time anywhere near this much was in 2003 for consideration of the McCain-Feingold campaign nance overhaul. That case consumed four hours of argument. This argument may even spread over two days, as the justices rarely hear more than two or three hours a day. The health care overhaul would achieve its huge expansion of coverage by requiring individuals to buy health insurance starting in 2014, by expanding Medicaid and by applying other provisions, many yet to take effect. The central question before the court is whether the government has the power to force people to buy health insurance. The White House says Congress used a quintessential power its constitutional ability to regulate interstate commerce, including the health care industry when it passed the overhaul. But opponents of the law, and the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, say that Congress overstepped its authority when lawmakers passed individual mandate. A divided Atlanta court panel ruled that Congress cannot require people

and pine cones from the property. Filoli actually has owls which frequent the property including the Great Horned Owl and Western Screech-Owl. The elegant outdoors created different challenges for volunteers and staff. Paul Feicheter, who is part of the maintenance crew, was spending Monday building a log cabin inside. Once complete, it will have redwood branches and logs on the exterior a challenge which also includes the help from the art committee. On Monday, those on the art committee werent ready to start painting the wood and chimney. They were busy putting the nishing details on birch trees on a large canvas in the banquet hall. It will be the backdrop to a three-dimensional winter scene with wood from real trees placed before the canvas, volunteer Maureen Grimm explained. Another unique touch this year is handmade cuckoo clock-looking decor created by volunteers, said Filoli spokeswoman Christina Syrett. While the focus is on the holidays, volunteer Sue Lauers room for a number of years has always featured clothing and jewelry. Each year, she walks into the rooms with closed boxes unsure what will be inside to ll the rooms dedicated to fashion. Its like Christmas, she said pointing out that this year, for the rst time, the theme was worked into the rooms a bit more. Owls are placed throughout the room and some jewelry even has nocturnal birds. While Lauer is in love with a couple of the high-end jackets, she noted the expensive items are next to affordable ones. For example, this years collection includes three beautiful vintage pearl bracelets next to cute $10 wrist decorations. Also, those who like to send quick notes to their friends and family from their smartphones can keep their arms warm with texting gloves. Putting together the puzzle that comes with opening boxes, nding amazing goods and getting it all to t together is something longtime volunteer Joan Sanders enjoys. Picking what to buy in a house lled with goodies can be difcult, but Sanders has some advice: What you want is something you cant live without. Whats challenging at Filoli is throughout the year so many things could t that description.

Filoli is often not known for the events during the cooler months but the vibrant blooms that ll the historic house and 16 acres of formal gardens. The home was originally built for prominent San Franciscans William Bowers Bourn II and his wife. Bourn named Filoli by combining the rst two letters from the key words of his personal creed: Fight for a just cause; Love your fellow man; Live a good life. The Bourns remained in the house until both died in 1936. In 1937, the property was sold to Mr. and Mrs. William P. Roth, who maintained the property. Eventually, the formal gardens gained worldwide recognition. In 1975, Mrs. Roth donated 125 acres of Filoli to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The remaining acreage was given to Filoli Center, which operates the estate today. Holiday Traditions showcases several different events, some of which are already sold out, and some of which are selling tickets quickly, said Filoli spokeswoman Christina Syrett. Music is featured greatly throughout Holiday Traditions with more than 40 groups and 26 pianists scheduled to play over the nine days. A rst peek is available to a select few from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 25 for the premiere access shopping evening. It costs $75 for members, $85

The following evening, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., a night of dinner and dancing is available for $135 for members or $150 for non-members. Tickets include a show by the Marianne Kent and Bay Society Band. Saturday Nov. 26 kicks off the daytime hours for the holiday boutique, which runs through Saturday, Dec. 3. Tickets range from $25 to $35. Times and prices vary and space is limited as a few of the rst days are already sold out. A lunch buffet begins to be offered daily on Sunday, Nov. 27 through Thursday, Dec. 1 in the visitor and education center. Tickets range from $60 to $75. Prefer to shop in the evening? Shoppers can get a later start from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 29 or Thursday, Dec. 1. Tickets are $25 for members or $30 for non-members.

Holding back to see what others are giving could seem like youre being cheap. CaNCeR (June 21-July 22) -- The cost of success could be a bit more expensive than youre prepared to pay. Before getting involved in something that is too opulent for your taste, check with someone who has been there.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your very nature is adventurous and courageous, yet today small doubts could intimidate you from moving forward on something youve never tried. Get back in character. vIRGo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your tolerance for people who tend to be takers rather than givers will be at a very low ebb. If youre forced to work with them today, cross words could be exchanged. LIBRa (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Get into character today, and be as diplomatic as you can. Without meaning to, you could make others think youre competing against them instead of working with them. COPYRIGHT 2011 UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE, INC.

sages) whenever they are paused momentarily in trafc, their car in gear and held still only by their foot on the brake, Lambden wrote. The law allows the use of hands-free telephones while driving and also makes exceptions for calls during emergencies. Nelson additionally argued that it would be against the public interest to ban cellphone calls when a driver is caught behind a major accident that will take hours to clear, or wants to call a child inside a school during a rainstorm to come out to a passenger loading zone. But the court said it was addressing only Nelsons specic circumstance of a brief stop and was not ruling on hypothetical examples. It also noted that the law permits emergency calls and does not prevent a driver from pulling over to the side of the road and parking in order to make a cellphone call. Darren Kessler, a lawyer for Nelson, said medical attention at the scene and has since maintained Valdez did not harm her. Authorities, however, say at approximately 11:30 p.m. that evening, the woman was driving Valdez from Palo Alto to Half Moon Bay in her BMW because he has a suspended license. Valdez reportedly grew angry at the slow speed and pushed down his grandmothers right leg to accelerate the vehicle. The frightened woman tried pulling into a Shell gas station for help but Valdez yanked her from the drivers seat and threw her into the passenger side. When the woman tried leaving the vehicle, non-injury trafc collisions in this past quarter compared to last year. In terms of calls-for-service, there was a slight increase in calls from the public, accounting for 3,037 calls for service this past quarter compared to 2,810 in the same period last year, according to the report. The average response time for high-priority calls for service is just below four minutes, according to the report. he expects his client to ask the California Supreme Court to review the case. I think this is something that affects all of us and needs clarity, Kessler said. Kessler said that Nelson, who is also a lawyer, has paid the ne but pursued the appeal in an attempt to clarify the law. If a person is stuck in a trafc jam and is late to pick up a child at school, is that person now allowed to make a call? he asked. The court had good intentions but there is now an unclear denition of what driving means, Kessler said. Supervising Deputy California Attorney General Eric Share, whose ofce opposed Nelsons appeal, said, We are pleased with the courts opinion. Its resolution of the issue is consistent with the language of the statute, the intent of the Legislature and common sense, Share said. Valdez allegedly punched her in the face several times and kept her inside. A witness at a nearby 7-Eleven called 911, alerting a deputy sheriff who spotted the car on State Route 92. The deputy reported seeing Valdez grab his grandmothers hair and slam her head against the passenger window several times before he was able to stop the car. The woman jumped from the vehicle, yelling for help, according to the deputys report. The deputy also reported nding .05 grams of heroin in the cars central console. The woman told authorities Valdez never hit her and did not want her grandson arrested, Student resource ofcers have conducted a gang presentation to the faculty of Half Moon Bay High School and have provided a presence at a Cunha Middle School dance, according to the report. Deputies have also met with Arleta Park residents interested in forming a neighborhood watch and the Sheriffs Ofce has also established a graffiti-abatement program, according to the report.

cles on our public roadways and not just about such use when vehicles are in motion. Justice James Lambden wrote that hazards resulting from drivers distraction when handling phones during stops could include the drivers accidentally letting up on brakes, responding poorly to events such as being hit by another car, failing to move promptly when a light turns green or being tempted to continue a call while moving. Were we to adopt defendants interpretation (of the law), we would open the door to millions of people across our state repeatedly picking up their phones and devices to place calls and check voicemail (or text-based mes-

Wagstaffe said. At the time of his arrest, Valdez had several prior run-ins with the law. He was convicted twice of driving on a suspended drivers license and once for driving while intoxicated. He was acquitted of misdemeanor domestic violence and a 2009 misdemeanor battery case was dropped by the District Attorneys Office in the interest of justice. Valdez remains in custody in lieu of $50,000 bail
