Kobe: I directed A-Rod to knee therapy in Germany

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Kobe Bryant confirms he recently directed Alex Rodriguez to the German doctor who performed the treatment the Yankees' slugger had on his right knee.

"I gave him the phone number," Bryant said Thursday night before the Los Angeles Lakers hosted the New York Knicks.

Bryant opened up about the steps he has taken to heal his arthritic joints in a rare pregame interview, crediting the therapy with dramatic improvement in his own troublesome right knee and an injured left ankle in recent months.

When Rodriguez inquired about Bryant's treatment, Bryant vouched for the German doctor who developed the course of injections of plasma-rich platelets that supposedly stimulate healing in arthritis-affected areas.

Bryant says his knee is now 95 percent healthy after at least three surgeries in the last eight years. He apparently had the same treatment done in October on his ankle, which also isn't limiting him this season.

"You can't just try something just to try it," Bryant said. "It has to make sense. It has to be something that you can back with research and study and things like that."

And how did Bryant get information about the therapy ? called Orthokine ? being done in Duesseldorf?

"It's my job to know these things," Bryant said with a grin.

The Yankees might benefit from Bryant's knowledge. General manager Brian Cashman said Wednesday that Rodriguez is "100 percent," with "no red flags" going into spring training.

Rodriguez had surgery on his right knee last July and saw his power drop in the second half and postseason. He played in 99 games and hit 16 homers, struggling to produce at his usual prolific levels.

Bryant is far from fully healthy. He's still playing with a torn ligament in his right wrist, wearing a brace on the joint whenever he isn't on court.

He's no longer wearing a wrap on the oft-injured index finger on his right hand, but that's because the joint is now "bone on bone," according to Bryant.

And Bryant hasn't stopped trying new things to heal more quickly and thoroughly. Several Lakers joined him at a cryotherapy clinic in the Sacramento area on Monday, trying out an extreme cold chamber that's thought to decrease pain and swelling in athletes.

Bryant can't remember when his friendship with A-Rod started, but they've been friendly for years, going out to dinner and talking regularly. He's grateful he could help the 36-year-old slugger get back in top shape.

"As a Yankee fan? Hell yeah," Bryant said.

Mixed fortunes for local football clubs

Thatcham missed a chance to go third with a home defeat while Reading climbed into the play-off places

A JOBI McAnuff brace wrapped up the perfect Boxing Day present for the Royals against Brighton at Madejski Stadium yesterday (Monday).
Reading started the better with Jimmy Kebe and Simon Church both going close within the opening ten minutes.
McAnuff broke the deadlock seven minutes later with a cool finish after being found in the box by Kebe.
The goal seemed to galvanise Brighton, who started to gain more possession but created little in the way of clear-cut chances.
Then in the second minute of injury time, Reading doubled their lead when McAnuff cut inside from the left and hit a fierce shot passed Brighton goalkeeper, Casper Ankergren.
The away side had the better of the second half but were let down by poor finishing.
Ryan Harley tested Reading goalkepper, Adam Federici, from close range but the Australian stood tall.
Brighton striker, Craig Mackail-Smith, also had a couple of chances but failed to hit the target.
The game was wrapped up in injury time when Brighton right back, Adam El-Abd, steered Kebe?s cross into his own net.
There wasn?t as much festive cheer in Thatcham as Town lost 1 v 0 at home to North Leigh.
Thatcham are now fourth in the Evo-Stik League Southern Division One South & West.
Thatcham will be hoping to bounce back on New Years Eve when they entertain Didcot Town at home at 3pm.
Newbury, Hungerford and Reading are also in action on New Years Eve.
Newbury entertain Lambourn Sports at home (3pm) with Hungerford travelling to Wimborne Town (1pm) and Reading at home to Ipswich (3pm).

Romney machine rights ship after Gingrich bump (Reuters)

TILTON, New Hampshire (Reuters) - ? Ten days before the first votes in the 2012 Republican presidential race, Mitt Romney's well-funded campaign machine has held off the most serious challenge to his White House bid and is keeping him near the top of the pack.

The denting of his main rival, Newt Gingrich, endorsements from respected Republicans and a series of well-received media interviews over the past couple of weeks have boosted the former Massachusetts governor's campaign.

The usually buttoned-down Romney also showed a lighter side with an appearance on Monday on comedian David Letterman's late-night talk show.

Gingrich had overtaken Romney in some Iowa polls earlier this month, but a wave of negative television ads by the Romney campaign and his political allies on the former U.S. House of Representatives speaker has righted the ship.

Restore Our Future, a super political action committee (PAC) fundraising committee formed in large part by close associates of Romney, has spent $2.6 million in the past two weeks on advertisements opposing Gingrich, whose lead in the polls in Iowa has melted.

Romney's failure to move above the 25 percent mark in national opinion polls throughout the year is a problem. But if Gingrich's support collapses in Iowa, which holds its nominating contest on January 3, Romney could have a respectable showing and pick up momentum going into the January 10 New Hampshire primary.

Texas Congressman Ron Paul holds a narrow lead over Romney in most Iowa polls, with Gingrich having slipped to third.

"Wonder why Gingrich's numbers are falling in Iowa? Romney (and Super PACs supporting him) are outspending Gingrich 34:1 this week," noted the Democratic strategy firm Anzalone Liszt Research.

Long-time Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom told Reuters that Romney's campaign, by far the best-funded among the Republican candidates, had been ready for a tough December.

"We always thought it would be more competitive and more intense as voting approaches," he said. "But we like the state of the race right now. Momentum is on our side."

Romney largely side-stepped a political capitulation by House Republicans this week over a two-month extension of a payroll tax cut, describing it as part of the "Congressional sausage-making process." And after looking shaky against Gingrich and Texas Governor Rick Perry in debates, Romney has refocused his attacks on President Barack Obama's economic record.

But some voters are starting to take issue with Romney's persistently bleak assessment of the U.S. economy, especially in New Hampshire where conditions are improving. Several small business people enthusiastically volunteered upbeat assessments of their companies this week.

"I think he used facts selectively," said Ken Allen, a restaurant manager from Northfield.

Morey Stettner of Portsmouth pointed out at a townhall meeting with Romney in Conway that the unemployment rate was falling. "The news every day is of a turnaround," Stettner said.

IOWA PUSH

Romney's team has been ambivalent all year toward Iowa. It did not, for example, participate in a straw poll in August that took the Republican presidential pulse of the conservative Midwest state.

However, an endorsement from Iowa's statewide newspaper, the Des Moines Register, has increased the incentive to go for a win there, while publicly keeping expectations low.

Romney has a solid organizational structure in the state that has held together since his first presidential bid in 2008 and he will campaign in some eight cities there over four days next week.

When Gingrich on Wednesday announced the support of House speakers from Iowa and New Hampshire, Romney's campaign fired back with endorsements from no less than seven former House speakers from the two states. He also won the backing of former President George H. W. Bush.

As much as Iowa seems a toss-up, New Hampshire is Romney's state to lose, and he needs to post a big win there to silence his critics and build momentum for other contests.

Polls in the New England state consistently show Romney up by double digits over Gingrich, Paul and former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman. A narrow victory for Romney, who owns a home in New Hampshire, could be spun by opponents as a defeat for him as the campaigns head to South Carolina.

"There have been elections in the past where a candidate has been a distance second, but won a moral victory," said Christopher Galdieri, a politics professor at Saint Anselm College in Manchester.

Former New Hampshire Governor John H. Sununu, a close Romney associate, often says that "Iowa picks corn. New Hampshire picks presidents." Sununu was constantly at Romney's side during this week's campaign swing through the Granite State.

"Yes, I am confident," Sununu told Reuters, referring to Romney's chances winning the state and continuing on to the nomination. "It all starts here. The numbers we are seeing are good numbers."

Even though no votes have been cast, pundits argue about what would benefit Romney most: quickly locking up the nomination so he can concentrate on the November election against Obama, or enduring a longer, bruising race that would battle-harden him.

Political observers have noted that Romney has bristled at times in television interviews, and can lose focus when challenged.

On Thursday night, at a town meeting in Conway, he sounded irritated and made a sweeping and risky promise to college student Kallie Durkit, who questioned whether Romney had answers for young Americans worried about the job market.

"What I can promise you is this - when you get out of college, if I'm president you'll have a job. If President Obama is re-elected, you will not be able to get a job," Romney said.

GOP candidates heading to Iowa for a final sprint to the caucuses

With three candidates tangled at the top, and three dark horses looking to make a run, the Republican presidential field will return from the Christmas weekend at full speed for the final push to the Iowa caucuses.

Just over a week before the first votes are cast in the Jan. 3 caucuses, the candidates are getting ready to ?make their closing arguments to voters in person and on the air.

The most recent Iowa poll, conducted by the American Research Group and released before Christmas, showed Ron Paul taking 21 percent of likely caucus-goers ? a slim lead over Mitt Romney at 20 percent and Newt Gingrich at 19 percent.

But Paul had the rockiest week of the bunch, spending the days leading up to Christmas defending himself against newsletters from the 80s and 90s that bear his name and contain conspiratorial, racist and homophobic content.

Paul has said that he didn?t write the newsletters, didn?t read them at the time and disavows them now. A Des Moines Register poll is expected this week, so the Paul campaign will find out if the media focus and attacks from his rivals have impacted is standing with Iowans.

The controversy likely won?t affect Paul?s rabid base of supporters, whom many believe will turn out in force to secure an Iowa victory for the Texas congressman, but it could affect his standing with Iowa?s conservative Christians. Last week Paul attempted to broaden his base by going after this group in a campaign ad that touted his religious faith and pro-life stance as opposed to his trademark libertarianism.

Still, Paul is at a considerable advantage with his fully-developed ground game in the Hawkeye State, which traditional wisdom says is necessary to turn out voters for what will be cold caucus day in Iowa.

Paul has stops planned in the Des Moines metro area on Wednesday, will appear at a townhall meeting hosted by rival Rick Perry on Thursday, and will head up to the conservative northwest part of the state at week?s end.

Romney has spent the early primary season trying to temper expectations in Iowa, but he?s made a late push signaling that he thinks a win is within his grasp.

Still, the former Massachusetts governor is taking the long view this week, spending valuable time courting voters through tele-townhall meetings in South Carolina, Florida and New Hampshire.

Romney has a double-digit lead in New Hampshire, and a surprise win in Iowa could go a long way toward securing for him the nomination. He returns to Iowa on Tuesday night and resumes a bus tour of the state on Wednesday.

The Romney campaign also launched a new TV ad in Iowa in which he promises to shrink government and get rid of the Obama administration's healthcare reform law.

Only a month ago Gingrich surged from way behind to open up a commanding lead in Iowa, but his campaign has wilted under intense media scrutiny and attacks from his rivals over his perceived lobbying, his connections to Freddie Mac, and his multiple divorces.

Gingrich has been the primary target in a flood of negative attack ads running in Iowa, and he lacks the funds to properly combat them.

Polls also show that Gingrich has the softest voter support among the Iowa frontrunners, making him the most likely of the top three candidates to underperform on caucus day. He?s also coming off an embarrassing Christmas day announcement from the Virginia Republican Party that he failed to qualify for state?s primary.

Gingrich is preparing for a bus tour that begins in Dubuque, Iowa, on Tuesday.

Rick Perry finished fourth in the ARG poll with 9 percent, followed by Michelle Bachmann at 8 percent and Rick Santorum at 4 percent. Each of these candidates has tried to sell themselves to Iowans as the most conservative, each will spend the final days vying for the evangelical vote and each desperately needs a surprise show of support in Iowa to keep their campaigns alive.

A strong performance on Jan. 3 could propel one of these three into the top tier of candidates, similar to what happened with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee in 2008. Anything less could mean an exit before the New Hampshire primary one week later.

In recent weeks, the Perry campaign has directed its message to the state?s conservative Christians, running ads that spotlight his commitment to faith. The Texas governor will resume his 44 stop bus tour on Tuesday, and has between two and four campaign events ? each in different cities - everyday leading up to the caucuses.

Perry launched a new TV ad Monday that reiterates the Texan's call for a part-time Congress in Washington.

Bachmann is following Santorum?s lead by trying to work in a visit to all 99 Iowa counties before election day ? an endeavor she undertook just a little over a week ago. While it?s not reflected in the polls, the Minnesota representative has hit the airwaves to say that her campaign has seen a momentous surge in support.

Santorum is last in the polls among those actively campaigning in Iowa -- Jon Huntsman has staked his campaign on winning New Hampshire -- but the former Pennsylvania senator is the candidate some conservatives are whispering about.

On Sunday, Huckabee said on Fox News that he wouldn?t be surprised to see Santorum ride a wave of late support like he did in 2008.

Santorum shored up his conservative bona fides on Monday, going on his second pheasant-hunting trip of the season with conservative kingmaker Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa).

King still hasn?t decided if he?ll endorse before the primary, but he hasn?t hesitated in keeping company with Santorum, who has spent more time in the Hawkeye State than any other candidate.

For those counting, that?s six bus tours, three frontrunners, one underdog hoping to surprise, and less than a week before Iowans provide a significant boost to one candidate?s presidential hopes.

Ancient seal found in Jerusalem linked to ritual

JERUSALEM?? A rare clay seal found under Jerusalem's Old City appears to be linked to religious rituals practiced at the Jewish Temple 2,000 years ago, Israeli archaeologists said Sunday.

The coin-sized seal found near the Jewish holy site at the Western Wall bears two Aramaic words meaning "pure for God."

Archaeologist Ronny Reich of Haifa University said it dates from between the 1st century B.C. to 70 A.D. ? the year Roman forces put down a Jewish revolt and destroyed the second of the two biblical temples in Jerusalem.

3. Unscratchable gold is harder than steel
4. Electrified cages jolt coral reef survival

The find marks the first discovery of a written seal from that period of Jerusalem's history, and appeared to be a unique physical artifact from ritual practice in the Temple, said Reich, co-director of the excavation.

Very few artifacts linked to the Temples have been discovered so far. The site of the Temple itself ? the enclosure known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary ? remains off-limits to archaeologists because of its religious and political sensitivity.

Archaeologists say the seal was likely used by Temple officials approving an object for ritual use ? oil, perhaps, or an animal intended for sacrifice. Materials used by Temple priests had to meet stringent purity guidelines stipulated in detail in the Jewish legal text known as the Mishna, which also mention the use of seals as tokens by pilgrims.

The find, Reich said, is "the first time an indication was brought by archaeology about activities in the Temple Mount ? the religious activities of buying and offering and giving to the Temple itself."

The site where the seal was found is on the route of a main street that ran through ancient Jerusalem just outside the Temple compound.

Aren Maeir of Bar-Ilan University, a biblical archaeologist not connected to the dig, said the seal was special because it "was found right next to the Temple and is similar to what we see described in the Mishna."

"It's nice when we can connect an activity recorded in ancient sources with archaeological finds," he said.

The seal was found in an excavation run by archaeologists from the government's Israel Antiquities Authority. The dig is under the auspices of a broader dig nearby known as the City of David, where archaeologists are investigating the oldest part of Jerusalem.

The City of David dig, located inside the nearby Palestinian neighborhood of Silwan and funded by a Jewish group affiliated with the settlement movement, is the Holy Land's highest-profile and most politically controversial excavation.

Japan says it, India close to deciding dollar swap pact (Reuters)

TOKYO (Reuters) ? Japan and India are in the final stages of deciding on a dollar swap agreement and expect to reach agreement during Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's visit to India this week, Japan's finance minister said on Tuesday.

An earlier $3 billion arrangement came into force in 2008 but expired in June. The Nikkei business newspaper reported on Sunday that the new one would be set at $10 billion.

Further financial cooperation as well as Japanese support for infrastructure in India will be a key focus at talks between the leaders of the two countries, Finance Minister Jun Azumi told a news conference.

Azumi also said he expects Japan's exports will pick up early next year if the European economy stabilizes and currency levels reflect Japan's economic fundamentals.

Noda?s ?Urgent? Task Is Tax Rise as Japan Debt Load Swells

December 25, 2011, 9:16 PM EST

By Andy Sharp and Toru Fujioka

Dec. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda faces escalating pressure to secure support for higher taxes after Japan?s budget plan for the next fiscal year showed a record dependence on borrowing.

The government will sell 44.2 trillion yen ($566 billion) of new bonds to fund 90.3 trillion yen of spending, raising the budget?s reliance on debt to an unprecedented 49 percent, a plan approved by the Cabinet in Tokyo on Dec. 24 showed. While spending will decrease for the first time in six years, Noda will delay funding the nation?s pension fund and will create a separate budget account to pay for earthquake reconstruction.

An aging population and two decades of low growth after an asset bubble burst in the early 1990s have left Japan with debt projected at a record 1 quadrillion yen this year. Noda faces opposition from the public and within his Democratic Party of Japan to boosting sales taxes even as Standard & Poor?s mulls lowering the sovereign rating, already cut in January to AA-.

?The government should hike the consumption tax rate and cut social security spending as soon as possible,? said Masaaki Kanno, chief economist at JPMorgan Chase & Co. and a former Bank of Japan official. ?This is urgent. We do not have the luxury of losing any more time.?

About 53 percent of voters oppose an increase, with a third saying Noda should call an election before such legislation, news service Jiji Press said last week, citing a Dec. 9-12 survey of 2,000 people. The DPJ lost its majority in the upper house of the parliament last year after then-Prime Minister Naoto Kan campaigned on a pledge to cut spending and raise the 5 percent sales tax.

DPJ Opposition

DPJ lawmakers with weak electoral majorities may be ?tempted to vote for their constituents? purses? by opposing an increase, said Jun Okumura, a former Japanese trade ministry official and a consultant at the Eurasia Group risk consulting firm in Tokyo.

While Japan?s gross domestic product grew an annualized 5.6 percent in the three months ended September as demand picked up after the March 11 earthquake, the pace will probably slow. The median estimate of 11 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News is for growth of 0.42 percent this quarter. Of the 10 polled this month, five predict GDP will shrink.

Elsewhere in the world, data may show American home prices dropped at a slower pace in October and consumer confidence improved in December, according to surveys of economists by Bloomberg News. Germany is scheduled to report December inflation in three days and Japan will release data on unemployment, inflation and factory output on Dec. 28. Countries from France to the U.K. to U.S. are observing national holidays today.

Yen Gains

Gains in the yen are weighing on growth by eroding exporters? profits, a factor cited by Moody?s Investors Service in cutting the rating outlook for Toyota Motor Corp. on Dec. 22. Europe?s debt crisis is reducing demand for the nation?s products, while earthquake reconstruction costs will swell spending. The yen traded at 77.99 per dollar as of 10:42 a.m. in Tokyo after touching a post-World War II high of 75.35 on Oct. 31.

Noda?s party will today present a plan for raising the sales tax, lawmaker Shinichiro Furumoto said last week. The ruling coalition plans to raise the rate to 8 percent in October 2013 and 10 percent in 2015, Kyodo News reported Dec. 21, citing government sources.

Gradual Increase

The International Monetary Fund says a gradual increase to 15 percent ?could provide roughly half of the fiscal adjustment needed to put the public-debt ratio on a downward path.? Martin Schulz, a senior economist at Fujitsu Research Institute in Tokyo, advocates boosting the tax to ?at least? 20 percent.

Former DPJ leader Ichiro Ozawa and Shizuka Kamei, the head of the People?s New Party, a coalition partner, aim to head off the move. Kamei said this month that ?we?re not in normal times, and it?s folly to be playing around with the tax system.?

So far, Japan?s debt burden hasn?t impeded the government?s ability to borrow, with 10-year bond yields poised to close below 1 percent for the first year since 2002.

Noda?s spending plan for the year starting April includes a 3.8 trillion yen special account for reconstruction spending.

Besides the consumption tax, a government panel proposes increasing the highest personal income tax rate to 45 percent from 40 percent by the middle of this decade.

?Japan?s government is proposing the right remedies for the country?s fiscal debt problems, but the speed is too slow and we can?t be confident that the measures will actually be implemented,? said Hitoshi Suzuki, a senior researcher of Daiwa Institute of Research in Tokyo.

Rating Cut

Tokyo-based Ratings & Investment Information Inc. cut Japan?s rating for the first time on Dec. 21. S&P has a negative outlook for the nation and said last month that a downgrade may be getting closer after insufficient progress in tackling a public debt burden that is the world?s biggest.

Japan?s structural deficit ?is completely out of whack because of increasing social security demands and costs,? Schulz of Fujitsu said last week. ?If the government remains lazy in terms of hiking the consumption tax rate, it?s just a matter of time before the very obedient Japanese investors are no longer happy to finance the deficit.?

Man killed amid Britain's post-Christmas sales

Police examine blood stained clothes at the scene of a second stabbing close to the junction of Oxford Street and Regent Street in central London, Monday Dec. 26, 2011. The victim of the second attack was a male who had been stabbed in the legs. His injuries were not life threatening, police confirmed. The male is receiving treatment in hospital and it is "too early to say" whether the attack was linked to an earlier stabbing, a Scotland Yard spokesman said. In the earlier incident, a teenager was fatally stabbed after an argument broke out in a sports store on London's most famous retail street as thousands of shoppers flocked to Britain's capital seeking post-Christmas bargains.

LONDON (AP) ? A teenager was fatally stabbed and a second man wounded in attacks on London's most famous retail street as thousands of shoppers flocked to Britain's capital seeking post-Christmas bargains.

The killing of the 18-year-old man on Oxford Street on Monday ? and a second wounding in the same road ? did little to deter shoppers crowding into neighboring stores in the landmark shopping district. Bargain hunters were also largely untroubled by a subway strike which badly disrupted the city's public transport services.

Selfridges ? close to the scene of Monday's stabbing and one of Britain's most popular department stores ? reported its biggest ever first hour of trading Monday morning, while the New West End Company, which represents traders on central London's shopping streets, reported 15 million pounds (US$23.5 million) in sales in the first three hours of trading.

Jace Tyrrell, of the New West End Company, said hundreds of thousands of people had visited central London retailers, despite action by police to cordon off parts of Oxford Street and temporarily close some stores after the attacks.

"These incidents are extremely rare on Oxford Street and we understand arrests have been made," she said. "The emergency services were quick to respond and have cordoned off the street as they continue with their investigations. We are working to ensure the street is open to businesses and shoppers tomorrow."

Tyrrell said shopkeepers had requested a meeting with police to discuss the incidents. "We understand both incidents involved gangs of youth who were known to each other (and) the police, and did not involve individual shoppers," she said.

London's air ambulance helicopter had earlier rushed to the street following the fatal stabbing.

Authorities said the teenage victim died before medics could administer help, while amateur video footage showed police struggling to part large crowds of shopper to allow emergency vehicles to reach the man.

Police erected a tent outside a Foot Locker sports store as they carried out investigations and confirmed that about ten people had been arrested in connection with the death.

Officers said a second stabbing took place close by ? on the corner of Oxford Street and Regent Street ? but insisted it wasn't immediately known if the two incidents were linked.

Det. Chief Insp. Mark Dunne, of London's Metropolitan police, said two groups of young people appeared to have become involved in a large-scale altercation before the teenager's death.

Dunne said that little more was known about the circumstances, but there were likely to be large numbers of witnesses. "This is probably the busiest place in the United Kingdom right now, on the busiest shopping day," he told reporters at the scene.

"A number of weapons have been recovered from that scene ? whether I have got the murder weapon I don't know. There's an assortment of items, but no guns," he said.

In the second attack, a 21-year-old man was stabbed in the leg and is being treated at a hospital for his wound.

Police said in a statement that three men had been arrested, but it was "too early to say whether this incident is linked to a fatal stabbing on Oxford Street."

On London's subway network, the ASLEF train drivers' labor union staged a one-day strike to demand extra pay and additional time off for members working on the public holiday.

Despite the disruptions, huge crowds ? some lining up outside stores from midnight ? rushed into department stores in London and other British cities as soon as doors opened early Monday.

The London Underground, the organization that manages the subway system, condemned the move, saying it was pointless and demonstrated "a complete disregard for our customers." Authorities said extra buses were running in main shopping areas to cater to the increased flow of travelers on one of the year's busiest shopping days.

The ASLEF union has warned it plans to stage three more strikes in January and February if the dispute is not resolved.

Stuffed animals bring Christmas joy to cancer patients | mu?oz - Life ...

Alexandra "Alex" Mu?oz knows where she will be today.

After attending Mass in the morning, it's tradition for her family to head over to her grandmother's house, just two blocks away from their Cypress home.

How to reach them:

To attract future donors for the Teddy Bear Donation Drive, the Mu?oz family is working with Brenda Trujillo, senior account executive with Dawson & Dawson, an executive search firm in Mission Viejo.

The family can be contacted at 714-373-4542 for more information. Trujillo can be reached at 949-421-3966 or 714-600-1660.

But Alex knows that a lot of kids can't celebrate Christmas at home with family. They're in the hospital being treated for cancer.

To bring some Christmas cheer, she started the Teddy Bear Donation Drive.

A few days before Christmas, Alex, her mom and younger brother Anthony visited local hospitals to drop off armfuls of joy ? stuffed animals donated by friends, family, neighbors, students and teachers at Cypress High, and people at workplaces.

Why stuffed animals?

"It's like giving a hug to someone all the time," said Alex, a freshman and pre-med student at UCLA who wants to be a pediatrician.

She knows just how much hugs can mean to a child who is scared and missing home.

Last year, at 17, Alex was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, a rare disease for someone so young.

She had surgery in May 2010 to remove a tumor the size of a cantaloupe and then subsequent rounds of chemotherapy that left her exhausted, nauseous and bald. Alex found comfort in a chocolate-colored stuffed animal puppy that was a gift from her TeamOC gymnastics club coaches.

She'd fall asleep holding it, a reminder of all the people who loved her.

So last Christmas she distributed more than 100 stuffed animals to childhood cancer patients at Kaiser medical centers and at Miller Children's Hospital in Long Beach, where the mother of one of Alex's best friends is a doctor ? and a cancer survivor.

Alex and her mom recall one older teen, a big guy sporting tattoos and earlobe plugs. They weren't sure he'd want a stuffed animal, but when Sylvia asked him, he gave a quick nod. Later, they saw him walking the hall in his gown, clutching his white teddy bear.

"That made me think stuffed animals really are for everyone," Alex said.

Alex and her two elves were back at Miller on Thursday with two wagons filled with stuffed animals. They stopped in playrooms, met children in the hallways and paid bedside visits to kids too sick to leave their rooms.

Ashley Perez, 12, of Garden Grove looked up from a paper snowman she was making to choose a fluffy brown bear. Ashley, who has leukemia, was hospitalized a week ago because she felt too sick to eat. Seeing Ashley's wisps of hair, Alex shared hopeful words.

"It'll come back," she told the girl. "I promise you."

A CHILD SHOWS THE WAY

Early last year, before her diagnosis, Alex had gone a few weeks feeling a "bump" in her abdomen. A competitive gymnast since the age of 9, Alex hid the growth from her parents.

"I thought I was just getting chunky," she said.

Then it got to where she couldn't stretch in gymnastics. Finally, she called her parents from practice to say she wasn't feeling well. On the ride to urgent care, her worry surged. "I just started rambling and crying."

The entire summer before her senior year of high school was spent undergoing four rounds of chemotherapy ? one every three weeks, and a hospital stay of four days each time. She lost about 15 pounds, most of it muscle. She would beg her mom to make the constant "beep, beep" of the chemo pump go away. That stuffed puppy dog stayed by her side.

"My daughter's experience with ovarian cancer taught me just how far a little bit of comfort goes for a child who must endure the indignities of chemotherapy," Sylvia Mu?oz said.

Alex was older than the other pediatric cancer patients at Kaiser Permanente Anaheim Medical Center in Anaheim Hills, but she took her cue on being brave from a 2-year-old named Omar. Alex saw him that first day she went for chemotherapy.

Sylvia Mu?oz says her nervous daughter had the same look on her face that she gets right before competing in gymnastics, "that blank look, like, 'Ooh, here we go.' "

Omar was all business.

"He wasn't even nervous when the doctors pulled out his shunt to take his blood count," Alex said. "It let me know that if a little kid could do it, I could do it too."

A NEW TRADITION

Her recovery has gone well. She returned to school for the start of her senior year and got back to gymnastics that October. Her dark, wavy hair ? once halfway down her back ? slowly grew in.

But as good as things were going for Alex, she kept thinking about young cancer patients. She wanted to do something to help make them feel better, something to make it easier to be hospitalized at Christmas.

"I thought how much the dog helped me," she said of that puppy, the only stuffed animal she took along to her dorm at UCLA.

With her mother's organizing skills ? Sylvia Mu?oz works in human resources ? they launched the Teddy Bear Drive.

This year, they collected about 160 stuffed animals and added Children's Hospital of Orange County to their stops. Next year, they hope to attract corporate donors to help expand the drive.

Their visit on Thursday to the Hematology and Oncology Unit at Miller Children's Hospital touched the heart of Juliet Pulido of Downey, whose daughter Marie, 6, has been hospitalized since June. Marie has aplastic anemia, a condition that prevents her bone marrow from producing enough new blood cells.

Marie picked out a big brown plush teddy bear, while her brother, Aaden, 3, chose a creature that could play a part in "Monsters Inc."

"It's kind of sad for her to be here for Christmas," Juliet Pulido said of her daughter. "So this is awesome."

Huge rally supports Pakistani cricketer's politics (AP)

KARACHI, Pakistan ? Tens of thousands of people have rallied in support of Pakistani cricket legend and opposition politician Imran Khan in the southern city of Karachi.

Sunday's rally further cemented Khan's status as a rising force in Pakistani politics. The turnout was impressive because the event was held outside his traditional support base, Punjab province.

Karachi is Pakistan's largest city and the capital of Sindh province.

Khan entered politics 15 years ago when he founded Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, or the Movement for Justice Party, but he long struggled to attract support.

That changed when he drew over 100,000 people to a rally in the Punjabi capital of Lahore in October.

He has attracted several prominent politicians to his party since then.

Kim Jong Un dubbed "supreme leader" of military

(AP)?

PYONGYANG, North Korea ? North Korea hailed Kim Jong Il's son as "supreme leader" of the 1.2-million strong military, ramping up its campaign to install the young man as the next leader of the communist nation even as millions continue mourning the father a week after his death.

Kim Jong Un made a third visit Saturday to the palace where his father's body is lying in state ? this time as "supreme leader of the revolutionary armed forces" and accompanied by North Korea's top military brass, according to the official Korean Central News Agency.

The new title and public show of support from the military leadership sent a strong signal that the nation will maintain Kim Jong Il's "military first" policy for the time being.

Earlier Saturday, the newspaper Rodong Sinmun, mouthpiece of the ruling Workers' Party, also recognized the young man's authority over the military by calling him "supreme commander" of the armed forces.

Kim Jong Un, who is in his late 20s and was unveiled in September 2010 as his father's choice as successor, will be the third-generation Kim to rule the nation of 24 million. His father and grandfather led the country under different titles, and it remains unclear which other titles will be bestowed on the grandson.

Kim Il Sung, who founded North Korea in 1948, retains the title of "eternal president" even after his death in 1994.

Kim family myths renew with a roar in N. Korea
Loss, fear, threats drive N. Korean mass grief
Pentagon sees smooth change so far in N. Korea

Son Kim Jong Il ruled as chairman of the National Defense Commission, supreme commander of the Korean People's Army and general secretary of the Workers' Party.

Kim Jong Un was promoted to four-star general and appointed a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party. He had been expected to assume a number of other key posts while being groomed to succeed his father.

His father's death comes at a sensitive time for North Korea, which was in the middle of negotiations with the U.S. on restarting talks to dismantle the North's nuclear weapons program in exchange for aid, and had been preparing for 2012 celebrations marking Kim Il Sung's 100th birthday. Suffering from a shortfall in basic staples after several harsh seasons, officials also had been asking for help feeding its people.

North Korea has emphasized the Kim family legacy during the sped-up succession movement for Kim Jong Un. State media invoked Kim Il Sung in declaring the people's support for the next leader, comparing the occasion to Kim Jong Il's ascension to "supreme commander" exactly 20 years ago Saturday.

At the Kumsusan Memorial Palace, Kim Jong Un and senior commanders paid silent tribute to the late leader, "praying for his immortality," KCNA said. The military also pledged its loyalty to Kim Jong Un, the report said.

"Let the whole army remain true to the leadership of Kim Jong Un over the army," KCNA reported ? a pledge reminiscent of those made when Kim Jong Il was named supreme commander.

The call to rally behind Kim Jong Un, dubbed the "Great Successor" in the wake of his father's death on Dec. 17 from a heart attack, comes amid displays of grief across North Korea. The country is to remain in an official state of mourning until after Kim's funeral Wednesday and a memorial Thursday.

In Pyongyang, mourners continued Saturday to bow and lay flowers at Kim's portrait at plazas and government buildings, including the Pyongyang Circus Theater and Kim Il Sung Square, even as temperatures dropped to 14 degrees below Celsius (7 degrees Fahrenheit).

At the April 25 People's Army House of Culture, workers at beverage kiosks handed steaming cups of water to shivering mourners, including children bundled up in colorful thick parkas. A sign urged mourners to thaw out inside a heated bus.

The order to provide food and warming huts for mourners came from Kim Jong Un, officials said.

Mysterious nodding syndrome spreading through Uganda

Large areas of northern Uganda are experiencing an outbreak of nodding syndrome, a mysterious disease that causes young children and adolescents to nod violently when they eat food. The disease, which may be an unusual form of epilepsy, could be linked to the parasitic worm responsible for river blindness, a condition that affects some 18 million people, most of them in Africa.

The current outbreaks are concentrated in the districts of Kitgum, Pader and Gulu. In Pader alone, 66 children and teenagers have died. More than 1000 cases were diagnosed between August and mid-December.

Onchocerca volvulus, a nematode worm that causes river blindness, is known to infest all three affected districts. Nearly all the children with nodding syndrome are thought to live near permanent rivers, another hint of a connection with river blindness.

The link is not clear cut, though. "We know that [Onchocerca volvulus] is involved in some way, but it is a little puzzling because [the worm] is fairly common in areas that do not have nodding disease," says Scott Dowell, who researches paediatric infectious diseases and is lead investigator into nodding syndrome with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

There is no known cure for nodding syndrome, so Uganda's Ministry of Health has begun using anticonvulsants such as sodium valproate to treat its signs and symptoms. Meanwhile the disease is continuing to spread, say Janet Oola, Pader's health officer, and Sam William Oyet, the district's medical entomology officer.

It has now reached the Ugandan district of Yumbe, which borders the Republic of South Sudan ? and cases have also been reported in the southern region of the world's newest country. Since gaining independence from the rest of Sudan in July, South Sudan has remained on track to eradicate one of humanity's oldest diseases ? guinea worm. It is unclear, though, whether foreign aid for the new country could help prevent the spread of nodding syndrome.

Highlights of payroll tax-jobless benefits bill (AP)

Key features of payroll tax and jobless benefits bill passed Friday by the House and Senate:

_Retains through Feb. 29 the current 4.2 percent rate for Social Security payroll taxes paid by 160 million workers, instead of letting the rate rise to 6.2 percent on Jan. 1.

_Renews federal benefits averaging $300 a week for the long-term unemployed through Feb. 29.

_Prevents 27 percent cut in Medicare payments to doctors; extends other health care fees through Feb. 29.

_Requires President Barack Obama to approve construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada to Texas within 60 days unless he declares the project would not serve the national interest.

_Price tag of $33 billion. Paid for by increasing home loan guarantee fees charged to mortgage lenders by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Administration by one-tenth of 1 percentage point. The fee is passed on to home buyers and will apply to many new purchases and refinancings starting Jan. 1. For a $200,000 mortgage, the fee increases a borrower's cost by about $17 a month.

_Requires House and Senate leaders in both parties to name negotiators to work on a bill extending the payroll tax cut for a year, extend federal jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed and keep Medicare payments to doctors at their current level.

Michael Lohan on Possible Kate Major Love Child: I Heard About That ...

Michael Lohan is weighing in for the first time on Kate Major's possible pregnancy in a new interview ... apparently these two nut jobs only communicate via Dr. Drew.

MiLo says he's heard about it, but not much more than we have.

"I've heard about it ... When she left her dads house, she left some medication and her pills there and she was off the pill for like 4-5 days and of course we had sex."

"So there was a chance ... from what I understand now, she says she's pregnant or she could be. Evidently she is taking the test so she thinks she might be."

Riveting insight right there.

Asked about how he would react if Kate Major were pregnant, given that neither of them believe in abortion as a possibility, Mike told Dr. Drew the following:

"I would never, never, never want to let a child grow up without a father and a mother, so if she was pregnant, it would be something that she has to consider."

"Does she want to raise a baby on her own? I don't think so."

Michael Lohan added that his relationship with his children with Dina Lohan would improve as they get older and would not be affected adversely by this.

He also said that he has not seen any Lindsay Lohan Playboy pictures, nor will he be checking those out for obvious reasons, but he supports the career move.

Women's basketball: Utes' Plouffe stomps New Mexico State

New Mexico State had dreams of beating Utah Wednesday. Then they went Plouffe.

Michelle Plouffe scored 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead the Utah women?s basketball team to a 74-37 win over the Aggies at the Huntsman Center. While Plouffe scored her season-high 24 points in 28 minutes, it took the 12 women who played for New Mexico State 32:37 of game time to match that total.

"I just come out every game trying to do whatever I can for the team," said Plouffe, "and if I?m not hitting outside shots I try to get offensive rebounds and hustle plays."

Against New Mexico State, she did all those things. She was 3-of-3 from 3-point range, was 8-of-11 from the field, was one off her career high in rebounds and accounted for two blocked shots.

"She just has a complete game and every single night it doesn?t matter who we?re playing against, she shows up and plays her tail off," Utah coach Anthony Levrets said.

The Utes (6-4) won their second blowout in as many games. Four days earlier they defeated Texas Southern 75-33.

Utah has one game remaining in the preseason before launching its inaugural Pac-12 campaign. Levrets said the Utes are doing now what they need to do to be ready for it.

They looked it from the beginning against the Aggies, who beat UC-Santa Barbara at home on Tuesday.

After opening the game with a 13-6 lead, the Utes went on a 20-5 tear to close the half. By then, Plouffe already had 17 points, a one-half career high. New Mexico State made just four field goals in the first half and shot 14.3 percent.

"I?m really pleased with where we are defensively," Levrets said. "I think it will give us a chance against anybody we play against on any given night, especially up here at the Huntsman Center."

Forward Taryn Wicijowski scored 12 points in 20 minutes, while Rachel Messer added 11 points.

Utah Valley 72, Weber State 65 ? At Ogden, Sammie Jensen scored 18 points as the visiting Wolverines (6-5) made 55.8 percent of their shots while holding the Wildcats (2-11) to just 33.8 percent from the field.
