Making a relationship work is pri-

Since opening in 1994, the San

On July 20, 2009, Ganczarski allegedly left
a message at work that she would be taking a
medical leave for an undetermined period of
time and her son dropped off paperwork for an
absence Aug. 3. Between the two days, on July
29, 2009, the company owner conducted an
audit of bank records and discovered the
embezzlement of $561,927, prosecutors said.
After her arrest, the firm’s president and
CEO said Ganczarski was placed on indefinite
leave. The following April, she accepted the
negotiated plea settlement and prosecutors
dropped more than two dozen other charges.
Gastelum and Medina, then 14, mistakenly
believed one of four men leaving the Project 90
treatment program were Sureños because he
wore a blue shirt. One of the defendants alleged-
ly yelled and flashed Norteño signs before they
assaulted the 21-year-old man and another. The
victim was stabbed seven times in the torso —
by Medina, according to prosecutors — and
required emergency surgery to survive.
Gastelum was on probation at the time of the
crime. However, Medina’s arrest drew more
attention because at the age of 14 he was the
second county juvenile that young charged as
an adult with committing a serious felony.
Both remain in custody on no-bail status.
According to South San Francisco police,
Sanders and her husband began arguing
Tuesday night at their apartment complex on the
3500 block of Carter Drive. At approximately 8
p.m., she stabbed him once in the chest and
once on his wrist before fleeing the scene. She
was arrested a short time later while her hus-
band was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Law enforcement has a history of contact with
the couple, according to Wagstaffe.

Wisconsin,Ohio high-speed
rail money goes elsewhere
By Joan Levy and Kevin Freking
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Obama administra-
tion is taking $1.2 billion in high-speed rail
money away from Ohio and Wisconsin and
awarding it to 12 other states,
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood
said Thursday.
Both Ohio and Wisconsin have
elected incoming Republican gov-
ernors who oppose the rail projects.
Those governors, whose states have
been hit hard by the economic down-
turn, had asked if they could divert the
money to other projects.
But LaHood said he was awarding the money
to states that are eager to have it for their rail
projects.
High-speed trains will not only improve
transportation but reinvigorate manufacturing
and put people back to work in jobs that pay
well, LaHood predicted in a statement.
States gaining the most money include
California, $624 million; Florida, $342 million;
Washington, $161 million; and Illinois, $42
million. Other states receiving lesser amounts
include New York, Maine, Massachusetts,
Oregon, North Carolina, Iowa, Vermont and
Indiana.
A commuter rail line in Wisconsin between
Milwaukee and Chicago will still get about $2
million.
In Ohio, Gov.-elect John Kasich had declared
dead a project that would have created passen-
ger train service between Cincinnati, Columbus
and Cleveland. He had requested that LaHood
allow him to use the $400 million in federal
funds on other transportation projects like road
construction or freight lines.
The economic recovery law that authorized
funding for high-speed rail projects stipulated
that the funds can’t be used for other purposes,
however.

Kasich also sought to have the money
returned to the federal treasury to reduce the
deficit if it couldn’t be used to meet other Ohio
needs. “He finds it tragic that instead of saving
taxpayer money, they would simply waste it
elsewhere,” said Rob Nichols, Kasich’s
spokesman.
Kasich has said that the top speed of
79 miles per hour on the proposed
Ohio project is too slow and ques-
tioned whether enough people would
ride it.
But outgoing Ohio Gov. Ted
Strickland, a Democrat, said he “can’t
understand the logic of giving up these
vital, job-creating resources to California and
Florida at a time when so many Ohioans need
jobs.”
Wisconsin Gov.-elect Scott Walker cam-
paigned against a Madison-to-Milwaukee rail
line, which would have received $810 million,
as a waste of taxpayer money. Walker also said
he didn’t want to commit the state to annual
operating subsidies once the line was complete,
although the project’s supporters predicted it
would make money. Walker on Thursday called
the death of the proposed line “a victory.”
Walker had also sought to spend the money
on other Wisconsin projects such as roads and
bridges.
The loss of the rail project is “a tragic
moment” for Wisconsin, said outgoing Gov.
Jim Doyle, a Democrat.
Without rail between Milwaukee and
Madison, it will be difficult for Midwestern
leaders to fulfill their vision of having 110-mph
trains linking Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison
and Minneapolis-St. Paul. The route was a key
segment in the Midwest Regional Rail
Initiative effort by nine states.
Political leaders in states benefiting from the
cancellation of the Wisconsin and Ohio proj-
ects have been lobbying for a share of the $1.2
billion since Election Day.

Life expectancy slips
By Stephanie Nano
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — U.S. life
expectancy has dropped slightly —
by about a month — after mostly
inching up for many years, the gov-
ernment reported Thursday.
The preliminary report indicates
that a baby born in 2008 can expect
to live to 77.8 years if current trends
continue. That’s down a bit from an
all-time high of 77.9 years for 2007.
A similar dip occurred in 2005, and
life expectancy also dropped in
1993.
The lead author of the report,
Arialdi Minino, called the 2008
change minuscule and said it would
take years of data to determine if
that’s a trend.
Life expectancy was down for
both men and women. The gap
between blacks and whites closed a
little, to a 4.6-year difference in life
expectancy; black men for the first
time topped 70 years. Overall,
women continue to live longer, until
about 80, compared to 75 for men.

death for the first time in five decades.It was
surpassed by chronic lower respiratory

from stroke dropped by 4 percent,the swap in

Man killed on tracks identified Local briefs

The San Mateo County Coroner’s Office
identified a man killed on the Caltrain tracks in
San Mateo on Wednesday afternoon.
Christopher Hall, a 41-year-old San Bruno
resident, was struck and killed by a northbound
train near First Avenue at about 3:15 p.m.,
Caltrain spokeswoman Christine Dunn said.
Investigators have not determined why Hall
was on the tracks.
Hall was the 11th person killed on the
Caltrain tracks this year, Dunn said. Nineteen
people died on the tracks in 2009.
Wednesday’s incident caused system-wide
delays of up to 30 minutes as trains were forced
to single-track through the area until about 5
p.m.
Crash closes Highway 1
Highway 1 was shut down in both directions
for more than an hour Thursday morning at
Devil’s Slide due to two crashes that blocked
the roadway, a California Highway Patrol offi-
cer said.
The first crash was reported shortly after 9:30
a.m. on southbound Highway 1 at Devil’s Slide
just south of Pacifica, CHP Officer Eric
Anderson said.
Another crash happened a short time later,
possibly due to the slowdown caused by the
original collision, Anderson said.
At least one person suffered minor injuries in
one of the collisions, while the other caused
only property damage, Anderson said.
Highway 1 was shut down until shortly after
10:50 a.m. when crews cleared the road of
debris from the crashes, he said.
Man arrested for
commercial burglary
A 32-year-old San Francisco man was arrest-

When police arrived, they discovered the
front glass door to the office building was
smashed with a brick and immediately coordi-
nated a search of the building, according to
police.
Officers found Jorge Romero inside the THE TOY STORE IS OPEN
building with a backpack and sleeping bag,
according to police.
Romero, 32, had no association with the
business and was subsequently arrested. He
admitted to having entered the building to steal
electronic equipment, according to police.
He was booked into San Mateo County Jail
for commercial burglary.
Suspect arrested

A woman returning to her Redwood City
home Tuesday afternoon interrupted a residen-
tial burglary in progress, according to police.
The suspect fled the residence on the 1100
block of Marsh Road with some of the victim’s

The suspect was identified by witness state-

current success to Caminar, a non-profit agency whose programs

Caminar’s services help lead disabled individuals to independent –

memories of her past. She went from college-going wife and

Suicide attempts were varied and numerous. She tried to overdose

Renee, through her employment, was now providing the type of

stable housing and independence.
“I had the most difficult clients,” Renee said. “I said bring it on. It
let me know I can accomplish things. I have a caring spirit. Now I

Four years ago, Renee took the Civil Service exam, scored 100%

balked at a new building so close to down-

and securing an alternative.
Redwood City so opposed the idea of a jail
on the motor pool site it proactively hired
consultants and sought out the Chemical
Way land. Last month, the City Council
committed $13.85 million for the four
parcels; county supervisors in late
November signed off on the agreement for
reimbursement.
Proponents say the new site is the best of
both worlds, providing a dedicated plot for a
jail that can ease overcrowding and empha-
cap, which will mean a $150,000 gap in fund-
ing going forward since the school raised
$250,000 last school year.
CLC Director Christopher Mahoney
acknowledged the challenges of the structural
deficit but added this agreement is the right
thing for the school moving forward.
Another change was the decision by CLC
officials in August to become a nonprofit.
Doing so will allow CLC to take on more of
the liability related to decisions it makes. An
estimated 909 charter schools are active in
California right now. Of those, an estimated

includes a more generous estate tax provision.
That, in turn, infuriated Democrats already

The jail was originally conceived as a five-

Woodhouse Industrial Park site will allow
the jail to be built further out rather than
taller. Sheriff Greg Munks has estimated a
facility there would be three stories. The site
is also near the Women’s Correctional
Facility and not too far away from the court-
house.
The construction price tag has been esti-
mated at $150 million with $18 million in

This change may require an alteration to the

Enrollment was another conversation gener-

Space is limited at Tierra Linda Middle
School, where the Charter Learning Center is
currently located. At the same time, being on
the campus affords partnerships through after-

T

moving forward with plans
to construct a 192,260-square-foot
outpatient clinic in San Carlos
should be cheered for several rea-
sons.
First, it is a strong indication that
the economy may be turning
around. The past two years have
been rough for construction plans
and for developers in general.
Credit tightened and even the best-
laid plans fell victim to a lack of
financing as banks and our nation
sought refuge from rough financial
waters. On the Peninsula, several
large-scale projects were placed on
hold or had their developers make
deals with cities to extend the

False praise for the ‘tax deal’
Editor,
What a pathetic attempt to give
Obama any credit for a “tax deal”
(“Obama deserves praise for tax
deal” editorial in the Dec. 8 edition
of the Daily Journal). No mention
is made of the American electorate
who last month overwhelmingly
sent a message that they were tired
of his policies and fiscal irresponsi-
bility and made him “reluctantly”
agree to extend the tax cuts tem-
porarily for two years, so we can
do it all over again just before the
next presidential election. So he is
praised for another pretty speech
that someone else wrote for him.
The next day he was out acting
like a spoiled child stating that the
Republicans made him do it and he
was really against it. That will real-
ly help businesses invest and start
hiring because they finally have
some certainty in their future tax
situation. And you call this leader-
ship?
And why is there a “deal?” If the
tax cuts are needed for the nation
to fix its economy (even though for
ten years we have been hearing
they are only tax cuts for the rich),
then make them permanent and
don’t make deals involving spend-
ing billions of dollars we do not
have. If some president in the
future wants to raise taxes, then let
him or her try by taking positive
action instead of just doing nothing
and letting the cuts expire.

President Obama’s complete sell-

Salmon needs protection
Editor,
Bill Silverfarb’s article “Saving
salmon: Decline of iconic fish hurt-
ing economy” in the Dec. 6 edition
of the Daily Journal) put a human
face on the tragic collapse of
California’s salmon fishery, and the
devastating effect that it is having
on some coastal families and com-
munities.
He likely overstated the potential
impact of restoring the fishery by
writing that it “could provide
94,000 new jobs and $5.7 billion in
annual revenue for the state.”
Those numbers, from a 2009 study
by Southwick and Associates, have
been shown to be exaggerated by
Jeffrey Michaels, an economist at
the University of the Pacific in
Stockton. In April of this year, he
published a paper showing that the
study contained a number of unre-
alistic assumptions, and that the
actual economic impact of salmon
is likely to be more modest.
Some see a tradeoff between pro-
viding water for fish versus farms.
Since salmon fishing and related
industries contribute less to the

Stocks end mixed
By Matthew Craft
and David K. Randall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks closed mixed
Thursday as traders waited to see
whether a tax compromise brokered by
the White House and Republicans will
pass the Democratic-controlled House.
House Democrats pledged Thursday
to reject the tax deal as it is currently
written. The compromise reached by
President Barack Obama and
Republican leaders would extend tax
cuts at all income levels for two years.
House Democrats want tax rates for the
wealthiest Americans to revert to their
previous levels.
“There is a tremendous amount of
uncertainty about some major tax plan-
ning and estate planning issues,” said
Eric Thorne, a vice president at Bryn
Mawr Trust. “We think that the market
will rally nicely once an agreement is
passed one way or another.”
The White House has been pushing
Democrats to back the tax measure,
arguing that a defeat could knock the
economy back into recession. The deal
also contains a provision extending
unemployment benefits.

Jobless claims near lowest level of 2010
By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Applications for
unemployment benefits dropped last
week to the second-lowest level this
year, fresh evidence that companies are
cutting fewer jobs.
First-time claims for jobless aid fell by
17,000 to a seasonally-adjusted 421,000
in the week ending Dec. 4, the Labor
Department said Thursday.
The four-week average of claims, a
less-volatile measure, dropped for the
fifth straight week to 427,500. That’s the
lowest since August 2008, just before
the financial crisis intensified with the
collapse of Lehman Brothers.
Separately, the Commerce
Department said businesses boosted
wholesale inventories for the tenth
straight month in October and sales rose
by the largest amount in seven months.

Borrowers wait for lower mortgage rates and lose
By Janna Herron
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Homeowners who
delayed locking in super-low mortgage
rates — think close to 4 percent for a 30-
year fixed — may have waited too long.
Rates are creeping back up, in part
because of the tax-cut deal in
Washington. Now those in the market to
buy or refinance have to decide whether
to take what’s available or wait — and
run the risk that rates will keep rising.
Judge tentatively refuses
to dismiss Toyota suits
SANTA ANA — A federal judge who
said he’s inclined to let personal injury
and wrongful death lawsuits against
Toyota Motor Corp. move forward heard
arguments Thursday from Toyota attor-
neys hoping to dissuade him.
U.S. District Judge James V. Selna
issued a preliminary opinion Wednesday
denying the automaker’s motion to dis-
miss key causes of action in 51 lawsuits.
He heard further arguments Thursday
but did not indicate when he would
make his final order.

boost the U.S. economy and are already
raising their estimates for economic
growth next year. Goldman Sachs’s
rough estimate is that the tax proposal
could add between 0.5 and 1 percentage
point to economic growth in 2011. A
stronger economy diminishes the
appeal of ultra-safe investments like
Treasurys and raises the prospect of
higher inflation.
Stocks had edged higher in the morn-
ing after a report from the Labor
Department showed that first time
claims for unemployment benefits
dropped last week to the second-lowest
level this year. Claims fell to 421,000,
below the 428,000 figure that Wall
Street expected.
The four-week average of claims also
slid for the fifth straight week, reaching
the lowest level since August 2008,
before the darkest days of the financial
crisis.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index
inched higher. The index rose 4.72, or
0.4 percent, to 1,233. It was the second
straight day that the S&P index reached
a new high for the year.

ing depleted store shelves has helped the
economy grow after the recession and
the latest data suggests that hasn’t
tapered off.
Still, Thursday’s economic data was
not all positive. Mortgage rates rose for
the fourth straight week. The average
rate on a 30-year fixed loan increased to
4.61 percent and the average rate on a
15-year fixed loan hit 3.96 percent,
Freddie Mac said. The surge could slow
refinancings and further hamper the
housing market.
Unemployment claims have fallen
steadily in the past two months.
Applications dropped to 410,000 two
weeks ago — the lowest level in more
than two years — and they have been
below 450,000 for the past five weeks.
That is raising hopes that companies will
soon accelerate hiring. The job market is
also expected to benefit if Congress
passes legislation that would extend tax
cuts for two years and unemployment
benefits through the end of next year.
Freddie Mac, the government-backed
company that buys and sells mortgages,
said Thursday that average rates on 15-
and 30-year fixed loans increased
sharply from last week. It was the fourth
straight weekly rise. Fixed rates had
been the lowest in decades.
“People thought for a while that rates
would fall below 4 percent, and they
hedged on that,” said New York mort-
gage broker and banker Andrew Toolin,
who had just been on the phone with a
client who is paying 5.875 percent on his
mortgage.

strong economic data, suggest
December will be a stronger month for
hiring.

Getting some payback
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It was less than three weeks ago that Terra
Nova and Jefferson met on the football field in
the Central Coast Section playoffs with a spot
in the CCS Division III championship game
on the line.
Terra Nova beat Jefferson and went on to
win the Division III title last weekend.
While the Indians’ football team will have
to wait until next fall to get another crack at
the Tigers, Jefferson had a shot at some
redemption Thursday when the two basketball
teams met in the consolation bracket of the
Burlingame Lions Club Tournament.
The Indians took advantage of their athleti-
cism and speed, turning a close 29-23
Jefferson halftime lead into a 68-46 blowout.
And don’t think the football result didn’t
weigh heavily on the Indians.
“Everybody was trying to do a little extra. It
led to a lot of missed layups,” said Jefferson
coach Nick Paras. “We settled down in the
second half.”
Jefferson will face Palo Alto in the tourna-
ment consolation finals tonight at 5, while
Terra Nova will take on Aragon in the 7th-
place game beginning at 3:30 p.m.
This was a matchup of the large Tigers —
eight players are listed as 6-foot-2 or bigger
— against the ultra-quick, ultra-athletic
Indians, whose biggest player is 6-foot-2.
In this instance, speed trumped height.
Jefferson’s speed was crucial to getting its
fastbreak going, while the Indians’ athletic
ability allowed them to keep balls alive on the
boards, pogoing up and down as the Indians
enjoyed a 41-29 rebounding edge.
Jefferson’s Bernard DeBerry led the team
with 17 points and seven rebounds, with 11 of
his points coming in the second half. Jamarea
Biggins chipped in with 11 points and six
rebounds.
Paul Titchener led Terra Nova with 18
points and six rebounds. Ivan Mailangi added
13 points, nailing four 3-pointers in the
process.

entire time and Jefferson should not have any

Manning throws for 319, Colts beat Titans
By Teresa M. Walker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — So much for the
worst slump of Peyton Manning’s career.
Manning threw for 319 yards and two
touchdowns, and the Indianapolis Colts
snapped their three-game skid by beating the
Tennessee Titans 30-28 on Thursday night to
stay just a half-game back in the AFC South.
“Hopefully we can sort of build off this
win,” Manning said. “Nobody likes losing

San Jose had a letdown one night after a
shootout win over Philadelphia in which the
Sharks overcame a three-goal, third-period
deficit for the first time in franchise history.
McCormick’s goal early in the third period
— set up by Gaustad — steadied the Sabres,
who were on the verge of blowing a three-goal
lead built over the game’s first 35 minutes.

“Between periods we were talking about

that we could keep that lead, and we just
brought that attitude into the third.”
Gaustad didn’t know the Sharks had staged
a similar comeback on Wednesday against the
Flyers, and he wasn’t worried about any
repeat performance.
“I wasn’t paying attention to it,” he said.

Manning nearly had a third touchdown pass

pass intended for Reggie Wayne in the end
zone.
“I was throwing to Reggie. I can assure you
I was throwing to Reggie,” Manning said.
“But like I said, that’s part of the learning
process.”
The Colts (7-6) haven’t lost four straight
since 2001 when their five-game slide
prompted Jim Mora’s famous rant about the
playoffs. Now the only NFL team to reach the
playoffs in 10 of the last 11 seasons is back on
track and will defend its AFC South title if it

Panthers are
back in finals
By Josh Koehn
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Big men don’t always have to be towering
over their opponents to control the paint.
Burlingame seniors Kyle Shaffer and power
forward Rodrigo Puliceno proved that point
Thursday night, as the broad-shouldered
frontcourt pair helped the Panthers to a 60-32
victory over Los Altos in a semifinal contest at
the 34th Annual Lions Basketball
Tournament.
Shaffer and Puliceno, neither of whom
stand taller than 6-foot-4 but are both more
than 220 pounds, combined for 12 points and
16 rebounds while giving up little in the paint
to the visiting Knights.
“Our coach’s mindset is to always go inside
with the ball,” Shaffer said. “The rule is, no
shots until me and Rodrigo get some touches.”
“These guys establish everything,”
Burlingame coach Jeff Dowd said. “With
Rodrigo, that creates mismatches because
other teams feel like they have to bring two
guys (to defend him).”
By pounding the ball inside, the Panthers
opened up the court and allowed their shooters
open looks on the perimeter. Burlingame’s
Dean Ferrari led all scorers with 15 points,
while Connor Haupt accumulated nine on
three 3-pointers.
Burlingame went on an 11-4 run to end the
first quarter ahead 15-9, and the Panthers con-
tinued to add to their lead by outscoring Los
Altos 14-2 to start the second period. At half-
time, Burlingame had double the offensive
output of the Knights, 34-17.
Turnovers and rebounding were the biggest
factors as the Panthers ran away with the game
from start to finish. They had only nine
turnovers to Los Altos’ 18, and the Knights
also struggled to keep Burlingame off the
boards, as they were outrebounded 32-14 for
the game.
“They’re not so much tall, they’re strong,”
said Los Altos coach James Reilly. “I thought
they really hurt us when it came to rebounding
early.”
The Panthers also exhibited good depth,
See BGAME, Page 14
“I think we’re in a four-game playoffs and
this was a playoff game tonight,” Manning
said.
Tennessee (5-8) has lost six straight to drop
2 1/2 games behind Jacksonville (7-5) in the
division with three to play. The Titans can
blame themselves for mistakes that led to each
of the Colts’ first three touchdowns, including
two defensive penalties on third-and-goal and
a high snap over the punter’s head.
The Titans did break out of their scoring
slump, ending a 14-quarter drought without
an offensive touchdown when Chris Johnson
finished off a 55-yard drive with a 1-yard run
with 49 seconds left in the first half.

Up and down year for Niners’Vernon Davis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — A lot of
things haven’t gone according to
plan this year for the San Francisco
49ers on offense. Near the top of the
list is the way the team has used
Vernon Davis.
Coming off the greatest season by
a tight end in franchise history,
Davis was expecting to build on his
Pro Bowl performance of 2009 and
become one of the NFL’s elite play-
ers at his position. Instead, Davis
has essentially been kept under
wraps on a unit that has undergone
transition and turmoil throughout
the season.
“We have probably not used all of
his talents,” offensive coordinator
Mike Johnson said Thursday. “I
think some of the situations we’ve
been in with the quarterback has
dictated some of that.”
After building a rapport with Alex
Smith last year, when Davis tied an
NFL record for a tight end with 13
touchdown receptions, Davis has

NFL labor agreement of college, pro football
By Howard Fendrich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The head of the
NFL’s negotiating team says it will
be much easier to reach a new labor
agreement with the players’ union if
the accord includes an 18-game reg-
ular season.
“It’s something that both sides rec-
ognize the value of, and so both sides
will work hard to incorporate it into
the new agreement,” NFL executive
vice president of labor and chief
counsel Jeff Pash said Thursday in an
interview with the Associated Press.
Pash also said the league is
“focused on a full 2011 season” and
the owners want to have a deal in
place “well before” the summer.
The current collective bargaining
agreement expires in March, and the
union’s executive director,
DeMaurice Smith, has said he
believes owners are preparing for a

The 49ers also have undergone
change at offensive coordinator,
where Johnson took over at the end
of September after Jimmy Raye was
fired following the team’s 0-3 start.
The fluctuations at key offensive
positions have not been conducive

is.”
Asked whether the season could be
played if there is not a new CBA in
place until the summer, Pash replied:
“The goal is to have an agreement
well before that.”
He continued: “We have every
incentive to get an agreement as soon
as we can. We’ve said, we’ve told the
union, it’s been public — if there is
extended uncertainty, it’s costly for
both sides. It’s costly for us, and it’s
costly for the players. So there is
every incentive to try to reach an
agreement sooner rather than later,
and that’s what our focus is. Are we
going to do it? I can’t guarantee
that.”
Pash declined to provide details on
where the negotiations stand right
now. He listed the most prominent
issues as economics, the 18-game
season, the rookie salary system and
free-agency rules.

But in this season of change,
Davis welcomes the move back to
Alex Smith. Davis averaged 4.6

starter and 2.4 receptions the past
five games with Troy Smith starting.
“We had a lot of things we had to

“Changing quarterbacks, things like

“It’s a season that would deliver
more value to the fans. It would
allow a lot of growth opportunities

players as well as for the clubs,” Pash
said. “There is a recognition that it is
realistically an easier agreement to
reach in the context of an 18-game
regular season.”
The current CBA went into effect
for the 2006 season, and the owners
exercised an opt-out clause in 2008
that makes the deal expire next
March. According to the NFL, the
average player salary rose about 35
percent from $1.4 million in 2005 —

“The one thing people have done
this year is take away Vernon down

gotten down the middle a couple of
times, but not as much as last year.
But Vernon’s a guy that can do a lot
of different things. He’s a guy that
can run the flat, go down the middle,

NEW YORK — The NFL will
consider running a study that would
examine whether playing in the
league is more likely to result in
long-term brain disease than only
playing college football.
Northwestern University’s Hunt
Batjer, co-chairman of the NFL’s
head, neck and spine medical com-
mittee, said Thursday that the pro-
posed study would test a group of
100 to 150 former NFL players who
are 55 to 65 years old and compare
them to “an age-matched and posi-
tion-matched cohort of football play-
ers who played NCAA but not the
pros.”
Both groups would be run through
“a battery of advanced neuropsycho-
logical testing, cognitive studies,
physical studies,” Batjer said, in an
effort to figure out “whether an NFL
career predicts risks of cognitive
decline prematurely.”
He thinks that type of work to
trace the long-term effects of playing
football would be “so much more
robust than a retrospective survey ...
where a lot of the data that we cur-
rently have comes from — and is
flawed.”
The possible study was among the
ideas discussed at league headquar-

Davis’ 44 receptions are two
behind team leader Frank Gore,
who’s out for the rest of the season
with a fractured hip, and Davis’
team-leading average of 15.3 yards
per reception is 2 yards better than
his previous career high.
Davis is eager to build on those
numbers over the final quarter of the
season with Alex Smith back at
quarterback. Davis figures to
become more central again in the
team’s game plan, because the
offense was somewhat limited by
Troy Smith’s lack of experience in
it. Troy Smith didn’t join the 49ers
until Sept. 6 and was the team’s
third-string quarterback before
being promoted to the starting job.
“Alex Smith is a guy that has
tremendous knowledge of every-
thing that we do,” Johnson said.
“My job with him is to make sure
we provide all of the avenues and
parameters that he can play from,
have some shots down the field, and

improve player safety.
The panel also worked on devel-
oping a uniform sideline exam that
would be given to any player who
might have gotten a concussion dur-
ing a game. The exam would be used
to determine whether the player
should be allowed to return to the
field that day.
Under the return-to-play guide-
lines set up a year ago, each team has
been allowed to use its own tests to
make that decision.
“What we want to do is develop a
tool on the sidelines for concussion
that all the team physicians, all the
professional football athletic train-
ers, can use consistently, so in
Seattle they do it the same way they
do it in New Orleans,” said co-chair-
man Richard Ellenbogen of the
University of Washington. “We’re
not dictating medical care; we’re set-
ting up guidelines. We’ve been doing
it in the past in a way that everybody
does their own thing, but consistency
might elevate everybody’s game.”
The standardized exam would
include three components: cognitive,
with questions for the player; neuro-
logical, with the athletic trainer or
doctor examining the player’s eyes
and doing hands-on physical checks;
and a balance test. The new exam
needs to be vetted by the teams and
approved by the league, but
Ellenbogen said he expects it to be in
place by next season — and possibly
as soon as this season.

Cam Newton’s dad will not
attend Heisman ceremony
By Jogn Zenor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The father of Auburn quarterback Cam
Newton said Thursday he will not attend the
Heisman Trophy award ceremony because his
presence might “rob Cam and the event of a
sacred moment.”
Cecil Newton, who was invited to attend
Saturday by the Heisman Trust, released the
statement Thursday through George Lawson,
the Atlanta-based Newton family attorney.
“For all of my fifty years of life, coupled
with 25 years of marriage, I have made an
exhausting attempt to be a good husband,
father and generally a good person of integri-
ty,” said Cecil Newton, who was involved in a
failed pay-for-play scheme during his son’s
recruitment to Mississippi State. “The past 60
days have caused all that my family worked to
accomplish to come into question.
“So that my son Cam Newton can receive
all the honors and congratulations that he has
worked so hard to accomplish without dis-
traction, I have decided not to be in atten-
dance at the ceremony as it will perhaps rob
Cam and the event of a sacred moment.”
Cam Newton is the favorite to receive the
Heisman Trophy Saturday in New York. The
other finalists are Boise State quarterback
Kellen Moore, Stanford quarterback Andrew
Luck and Oregon running back LaMichael
James.
The junior college transfer has led the
Tigers to a Southeastern Conference title and
into the BCS national championship game
against Oregon on Jan. 10 in Glendale, Ariz.
The NCAA reinstated Newton after a one-
day suspension by Auburn last week, ruling
that neither the player or Auburn knew of his
father’s attempts to get money.
Newton told ESPN Thursday that he hadn’t
directly asked his father what transpired
between him and Mississippi State, but “at the
end of the day I can look him in the eye and
know he has my best interests at heart.”
Newton said it wasn’t for him to say if his
father had done anything wrong, but he knows

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers line-
backer James Harrison has been fined four times
this season for dangerous hits. Now, he thinks an
opposing player should be disciplined for sup-
posedly going after him.
Harrison believes Baltimore Ravens guard
Chris Chester deliberately went after him while
being called for a false-start penalty during an
extra-point attempt Sunday. Chester came off
the line of scrimmage and
drove at Harrison, an
unusual blocking technique
because offensive linemen
generally try to remain
packed to avoid potential
blocked kicks.
Harrison, a three-time
Pro Bowl linebacker, said it
was the perfect time to tar-
James Harrison get him because such an
infraction draws only a 5-
yard penalty. He also believes Chester may have
been trying to hurt him.
“It was uncalled for and cheap,” Harrison said
Thursday.
Chester’s block occurred after the Ravens’
only touchdown, Joe Flacco’s 14-yard pass to
Anquan Boldin during the first quarter of
Pittsburgh’s 13-10 victory. Harrison acknowl-
edges he ran over Chester on a play sometime
during that drive, but he said it was a legal hit.
Steelers linebacker James Farrior said
Chester’s block on Harrison was anything but
clean.
“That was pretty dirty,” Farrior said. “I think it
was definitely planned and just one of the dirty

his father is there for him.
“My love for him is
unconditional,” Cam
Newton said. “This type of
situation can split a family
but it makes us stronger.”
The NCAA and state
officials continue to inves-
tigate the payment
Cam Newton scheme, trying to deter-
mine who knew what and
if laws were broken.
Two lawyers from the Mississippi secretary
of state’s office met with Kenny Rogers — the
former Mississippi State player involved with
Cecil Newton in the pay-for-play plan — and
his attorney for more than four hours on
Thursday afternoon in Waukegan, Ill.
Doug Zeit, said the discussion at his office
was a “fact-finding mission” centered around
an alleged conversation on Nov. 27, 2009,
when Rogers says Cecil Newton asked for up
to $180,000 from two Mississippi State assis-
tant coaches in exchange for his son’s com-
mitment to the Bulldogs.
Zeit said the two sides also discussed
Rogers’ phone calls made to Bill Bell and
John Bond, two other former Mississippi
State players who have been involved in the
Newton saga.
“We basically talked about the same things
we’ve been talking about for weeks — Cecil
Newton’s solicitation and Kenny Rogers’
involvement relaying that message,” Zeit said.
“We don’t believe Kenny Rogers broke any
laws and are looking forward to this situation
being over.”
Cam Newton was in Florida Thursday for
ESPN’s College Football Awards Show as a
finalist for both the Maxwell Award given to
the player of the year and the Davey O’Brien
Award for the top quarterback. Earlier in the
day, he won the Walter Camp player of the
year award.
He was the SEC offensive player of the year
after accounting for a nation’s best 49 touch-
downs and setting school records for both

(Harrison) was a smart guy. He didn’t retaliate,
and that’s what I think they wanted him to do to
get him out of the game. But he held it down
pretty good.”
Harrison rarely hides his emotions, and he has
been especially displeased lately after paying
$125,00 in fines for hits on the Browns’
Mohamed Massaquoi, Titans quarterback Vince
Young, Saints quarterback Drew Brees and Bills
quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.
“It was a very emotional game, and he’s cer-
tainly an emotional guy,” Farrior said. “So, I def-
initely was pleased with the way he responded.
I definitely think I saw a little bit of growth in
James with how he dealt with that situation. It
was the right thing for him not to retaliate.”
Right tackle Flozell Adams returned to prac-
tice Thursday as the Steelers (9-3) concluded
their heavy practice work before Sunday’s home
game against AFC North rival Cincinnati (2-10).
The Bengals have lost nine in a row and are one
loss away from equaling the longest same-sea-
son losing streak in their history.
With the Steelers coming off a difficult over-
time victory in Buffalo followed by the pivotal
win at Baltimore, the Bengals — who nearly
upset Pittsburgh last month at home — might be
catching them at an ideal time.
Or maybe not.
“Whether they’re 10-2 or 2-10, they’re going
to come out swinging this week,” defensive end
Ziggy Hood said. “I’m sure of that. ... We feel
like some of these teams that we play the rest of
the season, even though they might now have
good records — Cincinnati, Carolina and
Cleveland — this is the NFL. They’re all good
teams with an opportunity to make their season
by beating the Steelers. So it’s our job to not let
that happen.”
East is a beast, but NFL’s
West still needs some work
By Arnie Stapleton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Head West,
young man, and leave behind any notions of
finding good football.
Only one of the 11 NFL teams west of the
Mississippi owns a winning record heading
into the final four weeks of this oddball season
— not counting New Orleans, which straddles
the river that serves as the league’s very own
continental divide.
Yet, in this wild and wretched West, the
only team that’s already been eliminated from
the playoff race is the Denver Broncos (3-9),
who were vexed by an embarrassing video-
tape violation and a bad personnel moves that
led to too many losses and cost coach Josh
McDaniels his job this week.
Even the region’s lone winners, the Kansas
City Chiefs (8-4), have dealt with a fair
amount of drama, from coach Todd Haley’s
handshake snub of McDaniels last month to
quarterback Matt Cassel’s emergency appen-
dectomy on Wednesday.
The Chiefs might have to make their playoff
push with quarterback Brodie Croyle, who is
0-9 as an NFL starter, beginning Sunday at
San Diego, where the Chargers (6-6) are no
longer December’s darlings. The Chargers’
loss last week to Oakland damaged the play-
off hopes for the four-time defending AFC
West champions and snapped their streak of
18 straight December victories.
The Cardinals know the feeling; they’ve lost
seven straight games after going 10-6 last year.
“I love the game, but it does wear on you,”
Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald said. “You
get tired of losing.”
Some teams actually view the mediocrity as
progress. The Raiders, Seahawks and Rams —
all 6-6 — have already surpassed last year’s
win total. The Rams’ six wins matches the
number of games they won the previous three

years combined and they own the tiebreaker
over the Seahawks atop the NFC West.
This is the Raiders’ best year since 2002, but
they’ve had their torments, too, like Sebastian
Janikowski missing a 32-yard field goal at the end
of a 24-23 loss at Arizona and Richard Seymour’s
ejection for slapping Ben Roethlisberger.
Seattle is playing .500 ball even though it
ranks 28th in the NFL in total offense, 30th in
rush offense, 30th in total defense and 30th in
pass defense.
“Some games our numbers are horrible and
some games are numbers are pretty darn
good,” coach Pete Carroll said. “That incon-
sistency has left us so that statistics aren’t very
important this year.”
All that matters is the rest of the West isn’t
all that good, either. The Texans (5-7), Vikings
(5-7), Cowboys (4-8), 49ers (4-8) and even
the Cardinals (3-9) are still mathematically, if
not realistically, alive in the playoff hunt.
Like the Broncos, the Vikings and Cowboys
made coaching changes in the last month. The
Cowboys fired Wade Phillips on Nov. 8 and pro-
moted Jason Garrett to interim coach, and two
weeks later, the Vikings fired Brad Childress and
promoted Leslie Frazier to replace him. The two
new coaches have a combined 5-1 record since
taking over, and the Broncos are hoping Eric
Studesville, who was promoted from running
backs coach, can inject some life into the team to
close out this lost season.
Besting the Broncos in the drama department
is the mess in Minnesota, where the Vikings
briefly got back together with Randy Moss
after begging Brett Favre to come back only to
realize he brought more baggage than luggage.
Favre’s season has been filled with injuries,
interceptions and insults over a sordid tale of
alleged inappropriate photos and phone mes-
sages he allegedly sent in 2008 to Jenn
Sterger, the former New York Jets game host-
ess who wants the league to discipline the
three-time MVP before his career ends.

lation bracket game of the Burlingame Lions
Club Tournament.
Floreal finished with 15 points and 10
rebounds — including six points and six
boards in the first quarter — and was clearly
the best player on the court.
Aragon managed only 13 points in the first
quarter and trailed by 21, 34-13, at halftime.
With the game tied at 8 following a 3-point-
er from Aragon’s Christian Larsen with 2:55
left in the first quarter, the Dons didn’t score
again until Max Liebergesell knocked down a
pair of free throws with 2:59 left in the second
quarter. During that time, the Dons were
outscored 20-0.
Besides Floreal, Palo Alto had two other
players score in double figures — Aldis
Petriceks (13 points) and Max Schmarzo (10).
Aragon had three players score six points —
Ryan Yu, Liebergesell and Joseph Hala’ufia.
Aragon will take on Terra Nova in the 7th-
place game at 3:30 p.m., while Palo Alto will
face Jefferson in the consolation champi-
onship game at 5 p.m.

Odyssey redesigned with smart features

By Ann M. Job
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The redesigned-for-2011 Honda Odyssey is

longer and wider than other major minivans,
but it’s still tops in fuel economy.
With sleeker styling and lighter weight than
its predecessor, the roomy, V-6-powered 2011
Odyssey with six-speed automatic transmis-
sion is rated at 19 miles per gallon in city driv-
ing and 28 mpg on the highway by the federal
government.
For 2011, Variable Cylinder Management,
which can automatically deactivate engine
cylinders when they’re not needed, such as
when the van is coasting, is standard on all
Odysseys. It previously was reserved for the
top Odyssey models.
Best of all, perhaps, for everyone riding long
distances in this van, the Odyssey has voice
recognition commands for navigation and song
selection as well as a 16.2-inch, ultrawide,
split-screen-capable display that folds down
from the ceiling aft of the front seats for good
viewing by second- and third-row passengers.
The system has HDMI technology, too, and
because of its wide, rectangular shape, this
screen does not block a driver’s view out the
back of the vehicle. This rear entertainment
system is on certain Odyssey models. All Odysseys come with the usual standard safety features including curtain air bags,antilock brakes and stability and traction control.
But all Odysseys still have the one-hand,

Series sets sail again
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
C.S. Lewis began the
third book in his Narnia
series, “The Voyage of the
Dawn Treader”: “There was
a boy called Eustace
Clarence Scrubb, and he
almost deserved it.”
Nothing in the three inspi-
ration-less films adapted
from Lewis’ series ever
rises to the wit of that sim-
ple line, though the latest,
“The Chronicles of Narnia:
The Voyage of the Dawn
Treader,” comes closest to
the spirit of the original —
arguably the most fun of
Lewis’ seven Narnia tales.
But spirit is something
that has been consistently
lacking throughout this film
franchise, which has now
gone through two studios
(previously Disney, now
Fox) and two directors (pre-

While the “Harry Potter” fran-

conclusion — the penultimate film,
“Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows: Part 1,” took $600 million
worldwide in its first 10 days of

considered sex-offender status.
Florida’s
Clemency
Board, egged on
by departing
Gov. Charlie
Crist, pardoned
The Doors’
long-dead
singer Thursday
on indecent Jim Morrison
exposure and
profanity charges stemming from
the show.
Some people who were at the
Miami concert March 1, 1969,
insist even today that he exposed
himself, though others in the audi-
ence and Morrison’s bandmates
contend he was just teasing the
crowd and only pretended to do the
deed. Crist, tuned in to the contro-
versy by a Doors fan, said there was
enough doubt about what happened
at the Dinner Key Auditorium to
justify a pardon.
The board, which consists of
Crist and a three-member Cabinet,
voted unanimously to pardon
Morrison as they granted several
other pardons Thursday. At the
hearing, the governor called the
convictions a “blot” on the record of
an accomplished artist for “some-
thing he may or may not have
done.”
He said Morrison died before he
was afforded the chance to present
his appeal, so Crist was doing that
for him. Board members pointed
out several times that they couldn’t
retry the case but that the pardon
forgave Morrison and negated his
sentence.
“In this case the guilt or inno-
cence is in God’s hands, not ours,”
Crist said.
Morrison had received a six-
month jail sentence — never served
— and a $500 fine for the 1970 con-
victions, which carried conse-
quences for the band. Ray
Manzarek, The Doors’ keyboard
player, said Miami was supposed to
be the start of a 20-city tour, but
every venue canceled after
Morrison’s arrest.
“We had the mandate of heaven,
and I think at that moment, he lost
the mandate of heaven,” Manzarek
said. “In the recording studio, the
magic stayed, but I think at that
moment in Miami, the live perform-
ance magic left for a little while and
then came back intermittently.”
Morrison’s appeals were never
resolved. He was found dead in a
Paris bathtub in 1971 at age 27.
Manzarek and Doors guitarist
Robby Krieger supported the par-
don because they say Morrison
never exposed himself, though they
agreed Florida’s move will have lit-
tle affect on Morrison’s wild, out-

Kids go on buying sprees in iPhone games
By Peter Svensson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — “The Smurfs’ Village,” a
game for the iPhone and other Apple gadgets,
was released a month ago and quickly became
the highest-grossing application in the iTunes
store. Yet it’s free to download.
So where does the money come from? Kelly
Rummelhart of Gridley, Calif., has part of the
answer. Her 4-year-old son was using her iPad
to play the game and racked up $66.88 in
charges on her credit card without knowing
what he was doing.
Rummelhart had no idea that it was possi-
ble to buy things — buy them with real
money — inside the game. In this case, her
son bought one bushel and 11 buckets of
“Smurfberries,” tokens that speed up game-
play.
“Really, my biggest concern was them
scratching the screen. Never in my
wildest dreams did I think they would be
charging things on it,” the 36-year-old
mother said.
WEEKEND JOURNAL
She counts herself lucky that her son didn’t
start tapping on another purchase button, like
the “wheelbarrow” of Smurfberries for
$59.99.
Rummelhart
joins a number of parents
who have been horrified by
purchases of Smurfberries and
other virtual items in top App
Store games. The 17 highest-
rated comments on “The Smurfs’
Village” in the App Store all complain about
the high cost of the Smurfberries, and two
commenters call it a “scam.”
Apple intro-
duced “in-
app pur-
chas-
es”
last
year, letting developers
use the iTunes billing sys-
tem to sell items and add-ons
in their games and applica-
tions.
This year, developers have
started to use the system in
Friday • Dec. 10, 2010 19
earnest as the main revenue stream for many
games. Of the 10 highest-grossing apps in the
App Store, six are games that are free to down-
load but allow in-app purchases. Four of those
are easy, child-friendly games. Two of them,
“Tap Zoo” and “Bakery Story,” have buttons
for in-app purchases of $100 in just two taps.
Capcom Entertainment Inc., the publisher of
“The Smurfs’ Village,” says inadvertent pur-
chases by children are “lamentable.” When it
realized what was happening, it added a warn-
ing about the option of in-app purchases to the
game’s description in the App Store, and it’s
updating the game to include warnings inside
it as well. The game has retreated to being the
fourth-highest-grossing app in the App Store.
The warnings may alert parents, but it’s
doubtful that they’d deter children who can’t
read and don’t understand money. Also, the
option to buy $59.99 worth of Smurfberries at
a time remains. Capcom spokesman Michael
Larson says “Smurfs” is no different from
other games in this regard, and the bulk pur-
chasing option is useful to adult “power
players.”

sized, drug-addled rock ’n’ roll image.
“Jim’s legacy is one of Dionysian
madness and frenzy and of a chaotic
American poet. I don’t think that the
Miami episode has altered his image one
iota,” Manzarek said.
The pardon isn’t enough for Patricia
Kennealy Morrison, who says she mar-
ried Morrison in a ceremony that was
never made official. She wanted the con-
victions expunged and called the pardon
“a complete cheap, cynical, political
ploy.”
“I have a real problem with the seman-
tics of a pardon. The pardon says that all
his suffering and all that he went through
during the trial, everything both of us
went through, was negated,” she said.
Kennealy Morrison says she
exchanged vows with Morrison in a
Celtic pagan ceremony. Morrison left his
entire estate to another woman, Pamela
Courson, a longtime girlfriend who was
with him when he died. Courson died in
1974.
Kennealy Morrison said Morrison’s
convictions led to his demise, and that of
the band. She said he felt like he “had
been made a scapegoat of the counter-
culture movement.”
“He cared about it. It affected him
deeply. In fact, I think it was one of the
contributory causes of his death, actual-
ly. It certainly destroyed The Doors,
pretty much. They didn’t perform so
much as a group after Miami, after the
verdict came through,” she said.
Manzarek and Krieger said Morrison’s
main interest in appealing the case was
avoiding jail time.
“He wouldn’t give a (expletive)” about
a pardon, Krieger said. “He would think
it was old news.”
Here’s what most people who were at
the concert agree on: The Doors went on
stage late. The auditorium was oversold
and wasn’t air conditioned. Morrison
was drunk and stopped in the middle of
songs with an anti-authority, profanity-
riddled rant.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
A live lamb was brought on stage at
one point, and Morrison also grabbed a
police officer’s hat and threw it in the
crowd. The singer took off his shirt and
fiddled with his belt, and fans poured
onto the stage.
“There were 100 photos offered in evi-
dence at the trial, photos of everything
— Jim with the lamb, Jim with the hat,
on the stage collapsing, riot in the audi-
ence. Not one photo of Jim’s magnifi-
cent member,” said Manzarek.
“It never actually happened. It was
mass hypnosis,” he said.
Krieger added: “Nobody would like to
have that charge hanging over their head
even if they are dead. I’m sure his fami-
ly would be happy to see that go, espe-
cially since it never happened.”
While Morrison denied exposing him-
self, he defended the use of nudity in
theater even after his arrest. And he
never toned down his lifestyle.
The fact that Morrison didn’t change
his life is exactly why he shouldn’t have
been pardoned, said retired Miami police
sergeant Angel Lago, who came to
Tallahassee to speak against the pardon.

Give the gift of good eats
By Michele Kayal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Got an uncle who insists on hunt-
ing wild mushrooms or butchering
his own steak? There’s a cookbook
for that. What about a working mom
hoping to please picky palates dur-
ing the daily dinner deadline?
We’ve got her covered, too. From
DIY fanatics to busy families, even
science geeks, this year’s crop of
cookbooks offers something for
everyone.
Here are a few standouts to jump-
start your gift-giving:
FOR THE KIDS
• For a book heavier on story than
on cooking, check out “Soup Day”
(Henry Holt, 2010). On a blustery
day, a little girl helps her mom
select and chop vegetables for a
warming winter soup. Idyllic and
cozy with colorful, textured illustra-
tions, the book also offers a perfect
recipe for tiny hands.
• For kids who like to make them-
selves a little something, “The
Winnie-the-Pooh Cookbook”
(Dutton, 2010) offers easy-to-fol-
low recipes for smackerels like
Poohandpiglet pancakes and honey
toffee apples. Original drawings by
Ernest Shepard and memorable
Pooh quotes make this reissue of
Virginia Ellison’s 1969 classic a
must-have for fans of the bear.
FOR DEVOTED FOODIES
WHO HAVE IT ALL
• Amanda Hesser insists her “The
Essential New York Times
Cookbook” (Norton, 2010) is not an
update of the Craig Claiborne clas-
sic, but rather a new chronicle of the
best New York Times recipes dating
back to 1850. Dense, serious and
heavy enough to double as a
weapon, the book covers everything
from Claiborne’s cheese fondue and
vichyssoise a la Ritz to watermelon
gazpacho and the pork belly tea
sandwiches at a hip New York
restaurant.
• As a practical follow to his best-
selling appeal to eat for the health of
ourselves and the planet, New York
Times columnist Mark Bittman
offers “The Food Matters
Cookbook: 500 Revolutionary
Recipes for Better Living” (Simon
and Schuster, 2010).
The plant-heavy recipes focus on
fast, easy dishes such as vegetable-
rich green gumbo and chickpea
salad with cashew chutney, as well
as more involved undertakings such
as Mexican-style fruit salad with
grilled fish and chili-
rubbed pork
with warm
pickled
vegetables.
Organized
a n d
acces-
sible
with
recipe
lists and
pantry advice, the book will
appeal to folks who love to cook
and want to feel healthy (and virtu-
ous) while doing it.
• Rounding out the New York
Times trifecta is Molly O’Neill’s
“One Big Table” (Simon and
Schuster, 2010), a collection of 600
recipes that chronicle the diversity
of American food. It features
recipes taken from pit masters,
farmers, home cooks and chefs
around the nation.
The former Times food columnist
includes recipes such as Farideh
Khoury’s muhammara, a Detroit
mom’s formula for the Syrian red
pepper and walnut paste, and Mike
WEEKEND JOURNAL
DiMuccio’s Rhode Island fried
calamari, a plumber’s pepper-spiked
take on squid. With homey photos
of some of her contributors, “One
Big Table” is an album of America’s
rich culinary history.
FOR THE BAKER
• Cookies,
cakes,
pies
and
breads. If
you can make it with flour it’s in
“The King Arthur Flour 200th
Anniversary Cookbook”
(Countryman, 2010). This indispen-
sable volume from the famous flour
miller also covers the science of
baking, from primers on leavening,
to notes on flaky pastry and hints for
homemade pasta. A go-to reference
for all baking needs.
• Your sweet-tooth baker will
appreciate “Sweet Chic”
(Ballantine, 2010), a collection of
confections by the owner of New
York bakery Tribeca Treats. From
easy homemade thin mints to multi-
stepped masterpieces like sweet-
and-salty cake (think devil’s food
with caramel and fleur de sel), the
recipes in this book are great for a
rainy day or a big celebration.
FOR DIY TYPES
• Arranged by season for the
freshest results, “The Blue Chair
Jam Cookbook” (Andrews
McMeel, 2010) contains more
than 100 recipes for jams, pre-
serves and mar-
malades.
W i n t e r
brings mar-
malades of berg-
amot, pink grapefruit
and Meyer lemons. Spring
is time for rhubarb, straw-
berries, apricots and other
eagerly anticipated fruits
inventively combined into rose-
mary-scented marmalades,
orange-blossom jams and good
old solid preserves. This book
is ideal for anyone who dreams
of “putting up” their favorite
fruits.
• Ever made your own butter?
Smoked your own salmon? Foraged
for your own salad? “Forgotten
Skills of Cooking” (Kyle Books,
2010) by Darina Allen — some-
times called “the Julia Child of
Ireland” — contains more than 700
recipes for just such tasks. After
you’ve proven your chops on home-
made ketchup and foraged elder-
flower fritters, traditional fare like
roast chicken and pheasant braised
in Cork gin provides a rest.
FOR CELEBRITY HOUNDS
• Got a Food Network junkie in
the family? Spark ’em up with
“Tyler Florence Family Meal”
(Rodale, 2010), a guide to dinners
Friday • Dec. 10, 2010 21
that range from fast, kid-friendly
pastas to feast-worthy roasts.
Dishes such as angel hair with
arugula take care of everyone on a
Tuesday. But if you’re gunning for
Saturday night praise, a crown roast
stuffed with apple and pecan dress-
ing or a fish fry with sausage hush-
puppies ought to do the trick. A
well-rounded ode to gather-worthy
fare with celeb flair.
• Some people (mostly women)
are actually interested in how
Nigella cooks, not how she looks.
“Nigella Kitchen: Recipes from the
Heart of the Home” (Hyperion,
2010) is a jumble of family food
from barbecued beef (think sloppy
Joes) to ginger-and-apricot spiced
African drumsticks. While most
will probably avoid the spaghetti
with marmite (it’s a British thing),
other recipes such as egg-and-bacon
salad or Indian-spiced lamb chops
should help keep your family’s
menu interesting.
GENERAL GOOD GIFT BOOKS
• Harold McGee isn’t happy just
eating food. The scientist/gourmet
has to know how it all works. His
new “Keys to Good Cooking: A
Guide to Making the Best Foods
and Recipes” (Penguin, 2010) out-
lines how brining keeps meat moist,
why boiled items have less flavor
than roasted, what makes potatoes
mushy, and generally answers
everything you ever wanted to know
about food science but were afraid
to ask. For that pesky relative who
just can’t stay away from the meat
thermometer.
• Don’t force open a pressure
cooker. And if you do, don’t put
your face over it. Do not think that
Boston baked beans are a good
addition to curry. And never, ever
use garlic if you are cooking for the
British. These are but a few of the
tips offered by the stunningly amus-
ing “The How Not To Cookbook”
(Rizzoli, 2010), an assemblage of
advice from 1,000 cooks around the
world. A good laugh — and perhaps
a cautionary tale.

The first, “The Lion, the Witch and the
Wardrobe,” was sapped of life by mediocre
digital creations, and the second, “Prince
Caspian,” was bloated by endless battle
scenes.
Some of the movies’ failure might be laid at
Lewis’ feet, too. While his Narnia books are
filled with wonder and a lush, mapped world
(not to mention brilliant titles), they were also
less artful in their religious allegory.
If Hollywood adaptations can reflect the
enduring strength of beloved tales read in
childhood, then Lewis is being decidedly
thumped by J.R.R. Tolkien, his contemporary
and friend.
To right the ship, “Dawn Treader” has
returned to the faithful. After “Prince
Caspian” failed to find a wider audience by
lessening the Christian themes, “Dawn
Treader” has restored them.

“It’s certainly no secret that we’d like to
make one more, and in fact we’d like to make
several more,” said producer Mark Johnson. “I
think a lot depends on the future. Obviously
we want to see how well the audience
embraces ’The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.”’
The series — about children who travel from
war-torn 1940s England to a magical realm
populated by talking animals, an evil White
Witch and a benevolent talking lion named
Aslan — has had a stormy progress.
The first film, “The Lion, the Witch and the
Wardrobe,” was released in 2005. It became
one of the year’s top earners and has taken in
almost $750 million at the box office world-
wide.
The 2008 follow-up, “Prince Caspian,” also
made money, but with a bigger budget — more
than $200 million — and lower returns, it was
a relative disappointment.
Walt Disney Studios dropped the series after
the lackluster performance of “Prince
Caspian,” but 20th Century Fox stepped in to

four Pevensie siblings aren’t around: Susan
(Anna Popplewell) is in America and Peter
(William Moseley) is away at school. Lucy
(Georgie Henley) and Edmund (Skandar
Keynes) are staying with relatives in
Cambridge, where they’re harassed by their
annoying cousin, the unfortunately named
Eustace (Will Poulter).
They are sucked back into Narnia (with
Eustace in tow) by a painting hanging on the
wall of the ship the Dawn Treader. It’s the
film’s most magical scene: The painting first
spits water in Lucy’s face, then begins to gush,
flooding the room. Before they know it,
Caspian (Ben Barnes) is fishing them out of
the sea and onto the Dawn Treader.
Here, the 3-D of “The Dawn Treader” is
good, almost soaking the audience in the rush
of water. But after a strong start, the effect
seems to recede, as if the filmmakers (who
added 3-D in post-production) sought to get
by with merely a handful of scenes.
Three years have passed in Narnia time since
the last visit from the children, when they
helped Caspian overthrow his evil uncle Miraz
from the throne. Peace has followed, and now
Caspian is sailing to the Lone Islands in search
of the missing seven Lords of Telmar.
With Australia adequately subbing for the
co-finance “Dawn Treader” with producer
Walden Media.
“Dawn Treader,” which takes the children
and their ally, King Caspian, aboard the titular
sailing ship in pursuit of a faceless evil, was
made on a slimmed-down budget of about
$140 million. Andrew Adamson, who directed
the first two films, is replaced by Michael
Apted, the veteran British filmmaker whose
credits range from documentaries to “Coal
Miner’s Daughter” to the James Bond thriller
“The World Is Not Enough,” a blend of slick-
ness and grit that producers hope will be aus-
picious.
“What I wanted to do was make a big, epic
film which had a real emotional center to it,
and to not let the emotional center get
swamped by the technology of the film,” Apted
said.
“For me so many of these sorts of films just
get carried away with the technology and the
noise of it all, and it just becomes a blur, and I
just felt this franchise, and particularly this
book, had a really strong beating heart,” he
said in an interview with the Associated Press.
Although cheaper than its predecessors, the
movie uses some very cutting-edge technolo-
gy. The 140-foot (43 meter) Dawn Treader
took 21 weeks and $2.7 million to build — and
it didn’t even float. Several major characters,

ends of the earth, they embark on a trip of
island hopping en route to some kind of evil
epicenter, where a mysterious green mist
(looking very much like the black smoke of
“Harry Potter”) lurks near Dark Island.
Fearing an episodic feel, their journey has
been slimmed down by screenwriters
Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely and
Michael Petroni.
Along the way, the characters are variously
tempted: Edmund by power, Lucy by beauty.
Visions of their fears bring a cameo of Tilda
including a fire-breathing dragon and the
swashbuckling mouse Reepicheep (voiced by
Simon Pegg), were created by 380 CGI artists.
The effects are impressive, but the series
hasn’t been the triumph of “Harry Potter,”
despite the obvious points of comparison.
One difference is the “Narnia” series’
overt Christian symbolism, which attract-
ed some viewers
but may have
deterred others.
Lewis, a mid-life
convert to Christianity,
gave the stories an
explicit spiritual message
and in Aslan created a wise,
self-sacrificing Christlike
figure, who tells the chil-
dren that in their world, “I have
another name.”
Liam Neeson, who voices Aslan, said
the character wasn’t limited by his
Christian overtones.
“Yes, he symbolizes a Christlike fig-
ure but he also symbolizes for me
Mohammed, Buddha — all the great
prophets and spiritual leaders,”
Neeson told reporters last week.
Another difficulty may be the
series’ changing cast of characters. While J.K.

Swinton’s icy White Witch. On the Dawn
Treader, they’re again joined by the swash-
buckling mouse Reepicheep (voiced by
Simon Pegg).
As in previous films, “The Voyage of the
Dawn Treader” can’t help but feel like an
assemblage of characters and scenes, not a
flowing film. To be sure, Apted (“The World Is
Not Enough,” “Coal Miner’s Daughter”) has
improved things.
It’s the best-looking of the Narnia films, but
real emotion — and even simple motivation
— is still lacking, particularly with Edmund
and Caspian. Poulter’s Eustace is a bit better,
as he undergoes a transformation from brat to
hero while literally transformed into a fire-
breathing dragon.
The religiosity of these movies, produced
by family-driven Walden Media, has been
their most discussed quality. “Dawn Treader”
wears it most openly in a suggestion of heav-
en and a line from the Christlike Aslan (voiced
by Liam Neeson) that, in the human world, “I
have another name.”
But the Christian themes (which will go
over the head of most young viewers just as
they did young readers) aren’t what sinks the
Narnia movies. It’s a lack of imagination — a
sin, indeed.
Rowling’s series follows its three protagonists
through their years at Hogwarts school, in
Lewis’ world, children grow up and leave
Narnia behind. The first two books focus on
the four Pevensie siblings, but “Dawn Treader”
includes only the youngest two, Edmund
and Lucy, accompanied by their know-it-
all cousin Eustace Scrubbs (Will Poulter).
At the end of “Dawn Treader,” Edmund
and Lucy, too, leave Narnia for the last
time — as do actors Skandar
Keynes, 19, and Georgie
Henley, 15, who says the
end of filming was “very
bittersweet.”
Like “Harry Potter” stars
Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson
and Rupert Grint, they have grown
up on-screen.
Keynes said there’s no rivalry with
the “Potter” cast — although, he
acknowledged, “it would be a good
story.”
Henley agreed, saying she was
nothing but flattered by media sto-
ries comparing her to Watson.
“It’d be more interesting if we
were meeting in a dark alleyway on a
Saturday night,” she said. “Doing face-
offs with the ’Harry Potter’ kids.”

search of the most calorifically deli-
cious treats suitable for gift giving.
Because face it, when it comes to
diets, December isn’t a particularly
virtuous time of year. And if we’re
going to indulge, it might as well be on
the really, really good stuff.
So here is my roundup of some truly
wonderful gift-worthy treats.
Dufflet Small Indulgences
This collection of intensely rich
sweet treats comes from Dufflet
Rosenberg, a Toronto pastry chef who
has been earning accolades for more
than 30 years. Her focus is on hand-
crafted treats made from premium
ingredients, and it shows. And now
you don’t need to head to Canada to
find out for yourself.
Rosenberg recently launched three
lines of packaged goodies —
Chocolate Tumbles, Crackles and Milk
Chocolate Morsels. Each is available
in three flavors and all are delicious.
However, for hands-down awesome-
ness, it’s the Tumbles you want, par-
ticularly the pecan and cherry brandy
variety. The hazelnut and coffee
liqueur Tumbles are pretty fine, too.
For more information or to order,
visit the company’s website,
http://www.duffletsweets.com . The
goodies sell for $15 to $18.
Norman Love Confections
This guy is the Bono of the choco-
late world. And his treats — mostly
filled chocolates and truffles — are
beyond delicious in a toe curling sort
of way. They also are stunningly gor-
geous. Artwork sort of gorgeous. So
much so you might pause on the way
to devouring them.
Love releases new flavors each year.
These generally are sold mixed into
the general population of his choco-

lates, but you can

J.M. HIRSCH brittle
peanut
truffle,
butter
banana, rum cake,
sweet tea and tiramisu.
Favorites were California honey and
peanut butter banana. The 10-piece
box of new flavors can be ordered
from his website, http://www.nor-
manloveconfections.com . It sells for
$22.
Momofuku milk bar
David Chang has developed a cult-
like following for his momofuku eater-
ies in New York, and with good reason.
His pie and cookie haven known as
milk bar serves some almost painfully
good treats, such as compost cookies,
which contain pretzels, potato chips,
coffee grounds, oats, butterscotch,
chocolate chips and graham crumbs.
Strange, of course. And that’s the
point. But so addictively delicious.
Then there is crack pie, which fills a
toasted oat crust with a gooey butter
filling made from sugar, brown sugar,
cream, egg yolks and vanilla.
Until recently, you needed to be in
New York to get these treats. But
Chang has launched an online shop —
http://momofukustore.com — from
which they can be ordered. Cookies,
including the compost variety, sell for
$10 for a tin of six. Pies sell for $44
per 10-inch pie.
Mayonnaise
Because nothing says happy holi-
days like a big old jar of mayo, right?
No, seriously. Real foodies will dig
this. Just as every other food has gone

long way from those giant tubs or —
dare I even say it? — squeeze bottles
on the bottom shelf at the grocer. This
is a condiment of the highest order.
Check out the too cute Jme offering
from Jamie (get it?) Oliver. Among a
new line of goodies he is launching in
this country is Marvellous Mayo, a
rich whipped spread made in the
United Kingdom from free-range eggs,
extra-virgin olive oil and grapeseed
oil. It is rich and tangy without being
cloying, as most commercial mayon-
naise tends to be.
Jme Marvellous Mayo is available
for $14.95 for a 12.2-ounce jar from
http://www.williams-sonoma.com .

and it will rock your notion of great
cheese. It can be tossed with pasta,
baked onto a pizza, or simply slathered
onto a baguette and drizzled with
honey. It also is wonderful eaten
straight accompanied by Champagne
and fresh fruit.
This cheese is available at most good
cheese shops, as well as grocers with
cheese counters. It also is available
online from Murray’s Cheese —
http://www.murrayscheese.com —
which sells it for $16.99 a pound.

Friday, Dec. 10, 2010
A unique opportunity of major proportions is likely to develop
for you in next year, through a series of strange and wonder-
ful events. However, it will be best to not discuss this with
others, especially in the early stages.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - There is an excellent
chance that a big change in your affairs could take place that
will make it possible for you to realize a huge improvement in
your financial prospects.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - By focusing your thoughts
on optimistic events, you’ll be able to create opportunities or
conditions that will be the envy of everybody, especially your
competitors.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - A major change for the
better could occur in an area that has been producing sparse
returns. This is likely to come about through some changes
that you didn’t inaugurate or anticipate.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -It could be rather easy for you
to find someone who will operate on your wavelength to join a
new endeavor. It’ll be a collective success.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - You’re more capable of out-
standing achievements than you realize. You have a choice of
spending your time on accomplishing many small objectives,
or running with the big dogs instead.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Involvements you have with a
positive-minded individual, who isn’t afraid to take a chance,
could bring you more success than you’ve had in a long time.
Hang out with someone of this ilk.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - It isn’t all that often that you
can cash in with a family member, but it might be one of
those times, especially if it involves a special arrangement
with a relative in which you have a vested interest.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -You might be required to make
a meaningful decision that will have far-reaching effects. Do
what you think is best as you envision it, and all should go
smoothly for you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - You won’t be denied the fruits of
your assertiveness if you go after something that’s meaningful
with all the gusto that you’ve got. Have faith in your abilities
to do what you believe to be right.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Friends with whom you come
in contact could prove to be fortunate in several ways. Relax
and just be yourself, and they will offer a bevy of good things.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Lady Luck might be a bit tardy
initially, but she will make up for lost time in a hurry when
something meaningful is at stake. Be hopeful regarding the
outcome of events.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - It’s important not to lower
your hopes and expectations just because of a few minor set-
backs, should there be any. Your chart is a winning one, and
its very likely that you’ll finish strong.
