Santa Barbara is known around theworld for its beauty, celebrity and wealth,but the American Riviera also struggleswith a reality that is far less glamorous.Every year, about 40 teenagers are

booted from the foster care system whenthey turn 18 years old, and regardless ofwhether they are prepared for life as anadult, they are on their own.Unfortunately, about one-third of these

teens never survive alone. They end up onthe streets, hungry and homeless.

As a result, a unique headhunt is inprocess. Local non-profit organizations incooperation with the Santa BarbaraHousingAuthority are looking for tenantsfor the new low-income housing projectArtisan Court in downtown.“This is an essential project,” said

Mayor Helene Schneider, emphasizingthe section of the project dealing withtransitional-age foster youth. “There’s atremendous need in the county, not justthe city.”Homelessness has long been an issue

in Santa Barbara, and now the number ofteens displaced from the foster care sys-tem is emerging as a growing problem inthe community.Rob Fredericks, administrating officer

participating in a program tailored tothe amount of time film-goers have,”said Kathy Janega-Dykes, Presidentand CEO of the Santa BarbaraConference & Visitors Bureau and FilmCommission.“You can order a ‘short’, which is

scheduled to attend, according toFestival organizers.The official poster for the 2011

pher Bob Blackwell is developing thestriking image.As always, the Festival has a long

NEWS IN BRIEFCalifornia GOP pressed to

honor no-tax pledgeAprominentWashington activist is calling on Republican law-

makers in California to stick to an anti-tax pledge, a risk to a spe-cial election for raising revenue that Governor Jerry Brown iswidely expected to ask the legislature to support.The pressure came in the form of a letter sent on Thursday by

Grover Norquist, head of Americans for Tax Reform, a heavy-weight conservative advocacy group. In it he told Republicansthat "Voting to send tax increases to the ballot would violate theTaxpayer Protection Pledge, a written commitment that you madeto your constituents to 'oppose any and all efforts to raise taxes'.""I urge you to stand up for California taxpayers by opposing

Governor Brown's efforts to refer higher taxes to the ballot, andin doing so, uphold your central campaign commitment to opposeany and all efforts to raise taxes in the already over-taxed GoldenState," Norquist added.Patrick Gleason, state affairs director at Americans for Tax

Reform, said the letter marks the start of a broader campaignagainst efforts to raise taxes in California."This is the opening salvo," Gleason said.Brown, a Democrat, would need votes from Republicans in the

legislature's minority to be able to put a tax measure to astatewide vote. Brown spokesman Even Westrup declined tocomment on Norquist's letter, noting the governor's initial budgetplan is tentatively slated to be released on Monday."It's premature to get into those issues," Westrup said.

Case against Anna NicoleSmith’s boyfriend dismissedA judge on Thursday dropped the criminal charges against the

ex-boyfriend of dead model and TV actress Anna Nicole Smitheven after he was convicted two months ago of supplying herwith drugs before her death.Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert J. Perry dismissed

two counts of conspiring to provide prescription drugs againstHoward K. Stern, 42, Smith's lawyer and boyfriend at the time ofher death in 2007, saying there was "insufficient evidence,"despite the fact a jury had convicted him in October.The judge did say that prosecutors could decide to retry him on

the two felony accounts if they desired.Judge Perry also dismissed three of four charges on which

Smith's former psychiatrist, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, 63, wasconvicted. The judge let stand one count against her of unlawful-ly obtaining a prescription by using a false name, but he reducedit to a lesser misdemeanor, fined her $100 and placed her on pro-bation for one year.

THE BOOKWORM SEZDoesn’t it seem like everybody in the

world is weighing in with their OfficialBest of the Year list? Yeah, well, here’smine. Here are my Top Picks, Can’tMiss ‘Em, Go Back and Find ThemBooks for 2010.Fiction:“One Good Dog” by Susan Wilson

– I read about 320 books a year, andI’ve done that for the last decade or so.This book makes my Top Ten ListEVER. “One Good Dog” is the story ofa man who has everything and loses it,a dog who has nothing and loses it, andhow these two souls come together. Ifyou only read one book this winter,make it this one.“Wench” by Dolen Perkins-Valdez

– Set in the mid-1800s, this is the heart-breaking story of four Black womenwho are mistresses to their Masters.When they travel to what is technicallya free state, they must decide to escapeor stay. This is one of those books thathurts to read, but it hurts good.“Tempted by Trouble” by Eric

Jerome Dickey – I’m normally not abig fan of Eric Jerome Dickey, but thisbook blew me away. “Tempted byTrouble” is the story of a man who’sdown on his luck due to the economy.When his wife finds him a job, it’s notexactly the kind that’s legal. This bookis fast-paced, violent, harsh, and I lovedevery page of it. Be aware that you mayhave to read the ending twice to “getit”, but when you do….“Room” by Emma Donoghue –

What would you think if you were sud-denly thrust in a world you’d onlyknown through what you saw on TV?That’s the premise of this book with

shades of newsy headlines. “Room”takes a little getting used to at first –the language is different enough tomake you wonder what you got your-self into - but stick with it. You won’tbe sorry.“Horns” by Joe Hill – Pretty much

everybody knows by now that Joe Hillis Stephen King’s son. The good newsis that he’s a chip off the old block, butbetter. “Horns” is the story of a manwho wakes up with fresh protuberanceson his noggin. Surprised and a little dis-mayed, he decides to go ahead and usethem. This book is funny, in a dark kindof way, and creepy times ten.Non-Fiction:“In the Shadow of Freedom by

Tchicaya Mossamou – This true storyof a man who escaped being killed as achild soldier, escaped Civil War in hisAfrican homeland, came to America –knowing no English – and became adecorated soldier is one that will makeyou gasp and cheer. It’s a page-turner,and you’ll swell with incredible pride…but it’s not for the faint of heart.“Orange is the New Black” by

Piper Kerman –When Kerman wasnailed for a crime she committed yearsbefore, she spent another six yearsawaiting sentencing. This is the story ofan upper-class woman and the youthfulmistake she made, her time in prison,and how she coped. It’s an educatedpeek at something most of us are curi-ous about but will never get to see,thankfully.“Ah-Choo” by Jennifer Ackerman

– Maybe it’s because of the season.Maybe it’s just because I love this kindof reading material. But this not-at-all-stuffy look at the common cold justtickled me.

“Drive” by Daniel Pink –Whatmakes you do what you do? This funbusiness book explains why we performtasks that have no intrinsic value otherthan because they’re enjoyable. Read it,pass it along to the boss, then see if youcan try the business-forward methodsPink explains. You’ll never hate gettingup in the morning again.“Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and

the Meaning of Things” by Randy O.Frost and Gail Steketee – I’m a bigfan of “Hoarders”, so I was prettyexcited to read this book – and for goodreason: “Stuff” is like the TV show onpaper, but with a psychologist’s runningcommentary. I loved this look insidethe homes and heads of hoarders, and Iloved that this book was written withthe layperson in mind, which means it’seasy to understand.Children’s“Back of the Bus” by Aaron

Reynolds, illustrated by FloydCooper – Kids that are caught in themidst of something monumental rarelyunderstand the significance of whatthey’re living. This book tells the storyof a young boy who witnesses the birthof the Civil Rights Movement, but he’smore focused on his favorite toy… or ishe? Your kids will love the illustrations.You’ll love the story.“The Butt Book” by Artie Bennett,

illustrated by Mike Lester – If youdidn’t have a butt, what would happen?This poetic paean to a little-appreciatedbody part explains the various benefitsof having a behind, and I predict that itwill be a big hit in your house. The pic-tures are guaranteed giggle-worthy, andthe poem itself will make your kidswant to hear it again and again.

The virus known as hepatitis A has beenin the news this week after several hundredparishioners were exposed to the germ at areligious service in New York State.Hepatitis A, often contracted through

eating or drinking contaminated food orwater, is a vaccine preventable diseaseoften confused with other types of hepatitisviruses.Hepatitis A is similar to other hepatitis

viruses in that it likes to attack the liver,causing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue,fever, abdominal pain, loss of appetite andjaundice (a yellowing of the skin andeyes). Hepatitis A is very different in theway it is spread and contracted. HepatitisB and C, for example, are primarily spreadthrough blood and intimate contact.Some individuals infected with hepatitis

A may not display any symptoms, whileothers may suffer for up to nine months.Adults are more likely to show symptoms,while young children are known to spreadthe virus without even showing signs of ill-ness.Who is at risk?Anyone who may potentially ingest con-

taminated food or water is at risk.Traveling, living in a coastal community,eating out, consuming unwashed fruits andvegetables, swimming in a lake or oceanare just a few activities that may increaseyour chances.Long-term effects?Each year, tens of thousands of

Americans will contract the hepatitis Ainfection. While hepatitis B and C cancause lifelong infection, hepatitis A gener-ally resolves on its own. It is estimated,however, that about 100 people will dieeach year from it.

Is there a way to prevent infection?The hepatitis A vaccine is the best way

for children and adults to prevent infection.The vaccine is a two part series, each dose

given six months apart.Vaccination is safe,effective and well toler-ated. It is recommendedand available to anyoneover the age of oneyear.An unvaccinated per-

son who is exposed tohepatitis A may receivea dose of immune glob-ulin to reduce thechances of contractingthe virus.Good hand washing

prior to eating orpreparing food, after

using the bathroom and after changing adiaper can reduce the chances of catchinghepatitis A as well as many otherpathogens.Hop in now for a hepatitis A vaccineNow is a good time to talk to your doc-

tor about getting the hepatitis A vaccine.Your friends will be less likely to hang

out with you if your eyes are glowing yel-low, and I’ve always said that it is morefun to go to the beach and run than it is tosit on the beach with the runs.

Ode to theWiiThank you Nintendo. Wow--those are

three words I never thought I'd say in amillion years.Until rather recently we were a family

of Luddites when it came to gamingdevices. No DS, no Playstations, no GameBoys, no Xbox 360's at our house, as ourson frequently reminded us. It got so badthat he would introduce himself tostrangers by saying, "Hi, my name Koss. Idon't have any brothers and sisters, I don'thave any pets and I don't have any elec-tronic toys."Yes, for a long time our child was piti-

fully deprived of all that stuff.When he dared to complain of boredom,

we'd mock him mercilessly, then tell himto go read a book, play basketball, ride abike, bounce on a pogo stick. Video gameswere a no-no at our house. We just didn'tgo there.I've got to admit, I felt a little teensy bit

of parental superiority about it. Maybe notquite the same level of superiority thatpeople who never give their kids fast foodfeel, and definitely not reaching the levelof parental purity that those people with"Kill Your TV" bumper stickers feel, butstill, I was kind of proud that we hadn'tgiven in on this particular issue.My husband, a longtime fan of comput-

er games, was also happy not to have agaming machine in the house. Although,his thinking went more along the lines of,“Don’t give me a gun, I don’t want tohave to kill again.”Then came the summer of his tenth

birthday when the boy had saved upenough money to buy a Wii.Uh-oh.He had prepared a 23-slide Power Point

presentation on why he should be able topurchase the toy (Yes, we let him use thecomputer. I said we were Gaming DeviceLuddites, not Amish!)’ He argued that ithad lots of non-violent game options, thatplaying the Wii involved getting off thecouch and actively moving, that he wouldstrictly follow whatever time restrictionswe gave him for the game, and that he had

his own money saved up and this waswhat he "pretty please with sugar on top"wanted to buy with it.So we caved. And it was a lot cheaper

than getting him a baby sister or an igua-na.

Koss was complete-ly addicted to the Wiifor about five minutes.Then he got into a newseries of fantasy booksand forgot all about itfor couple of months.Then one day, it

rained. And rather thanjump on the furnitureor play "vaseball" withthe last of my weddingcrystal, we brought outthe Wii. Whee! Nowwe have a Wii, the

perfect toy for a rainy day.And whee, let me tell you, every single

time it rains I do a little happy dance forthe Wii.Since it's mostly sunny, Santa Barbara

just isn’t very well equipped for rainydays. When you coop 75 pounds of pre-teen energy into a very small house for toolong eventually something's got to give—usually it's my sanity. Let's face it; no mat-ter how hard you work to civilize them,boys are wired for action. Thank good-ness, now they're also wired for Wii.While it rains outside, kids can still workup a sweat without catching pneumonia.And I know this isn't the case with

every kid, but thankfully, as much as wehave come to love the Wii, Koss wouldstill rather play outside when he can.Whee, I love that Wii.

Dear Miss Kitty,I have lived alone for the past six years

and although my GF and I see each other fre-quently I miss daily contact. Little thingslike knowing she is right next to me in bedor a kiss in the kitchen. We get along great,so maybe it will be even better if we livetogether. Why not have all of that all of thetime? Does it sound like it’s time to livetogether?

Adam, SANTA BARBARA

Dear Miss Kitty,The other day I got out of a bubble bath,

put on a sexy robe and got into bed. Myhusband was reading and didn’t notice me soI said, “if we were dating you wouldn’t bereading right now”. He looked up from hisbook, smiled at me and went back to readinghis book. Seriously, what do you have to doto get some attention? Go back to dating?

Sam, SANTA BARBARA

Dear Adam and Sam,Be it enjoying a winter sunset on a great

beach or building snow bunnies in 22degrees of nose freezing fun, everything is atrade off. Notice the or in the last sentence.The only time you can seriously have it all iswhen you have the flu. But beyond a 104degree temperature while turning blue withcold there isn’t much I can think of thatenables us to really have it all.The trouble lies in having the expectation

that we can have the thrills of dating with themore sedate sanity of daily life all at thesame time. That’s like being able to eat anentire banana split at Harry’s and thinking itisn’t going to register on the scales the nextmorning. Not going to happen. Dating feelseffervescent because it hasn’t turned into anykind of a routine. Everything is fresh, fun,and the focus is always on each other. Thereare no movie-like stolen kisses while mop-ping up the floor after a plumbing incidentsince the likelihood of having a plumbingparty as a date is pretty remote.Humans are creatures of habit, the good,

the bad and the ugly. Even the best relation-ships find themselves at the mercy of habits.

Moving in together is no assurance that thelonged for romantic companionship willactually show up. Maybe it will and maybeit will turn into even less kitchen kisses thanbefore. What will happen will come down tohow well balance is achieved between theromantic and the reality.

They say familiaritybreeds contempt, butwhat happens in longterm relationships is morelikely to be a visit fromcontempt’s benigncousin, complacency.Complacency knows thatthe bubble bathed bodywill be there long afterthe riveting InflationsBusters for 2011 has beenfinished.Give complacency

enough rent free space and soon contemptjust might join the party. They are cousinsafter all.Darling Adam, Sam, Boys and Girls, if

dating is hot lava living without a coolingtrend it is only because there hasn’t beenenough time or reality for habits to maketheir appearance. It is also a given that allhighs eventually come down and that isn’t abad thing. Part of the joy of living togetheris having a sense of calm stability and know-ing that the nose you love to nuzzle is only apillowcase away.That being said, if the gentle of everyday

can’t hold a romantic candle to the exhilara-tion of dating then there is work to be done.If we don’t remember to take that kiss in thekitchen or once in a while throw that robe tothe floor, lovers will turn into friends – with-out benefits. And no one wants a govern-ment sponsored fund for that!Have a naughty day!Melanie Doctors aka Miss Kitty is the

Not many would have thought that DosPueblos would have to kill the clock to hold onto a one-goal lead in the final seconds ofThursday's water polo match against visitingSanta Barbara. But there was Kiley Neushul,hanging back on DP's side of the pool awaitingthe buzzer as the top-ranked Chargers held onfor a 6-5 win over their crosstown rivals.One team's always got to win, but there was

a strong sense of winning on both sides. Onone hand, the Dons (8-4, 2-1 Channel League)proved what they are capable of — particular-ly on defense — while the Chargers (10-0, 2-0) got to play in a second consecutive closematch, something that hasn't happened regu-larly in the past couple of seasons. DosPueblos trailed at halftime for the secondstraight match, 3-2, before scoring four goalsin the third quarter.Neushul led the way with three goals for

DP, which has now won 46 consecutive match-es dating back to 2009.Santa Barbara held the Chargers scoreless

in both the second and fourth quarters, asgoalie Maddie Trabucco made 13 saves in thecage.

"I definitely feel like we gained momentum.Most teams who have played them haven'teven gotten within a goal of them, so to be ableto compete with them is an accomplishmentand now we know what we're capable of," saidTrabucco.Cal-bound DP senior Tiera Schroeder saw

the competitiveness as a positive."These close matches are good, because in

the long run you end up knowing what youneed to work on. When we were behind athalftime we knew we had to stay calm and justcome out strong in the third quarter, and wedid," she said.The Chargers took a 6-4 lead on a Neushul

goal with 1:47 to go in the third quarter. Thingswere scoreless until Santa Barbara's BetsyHendrix buried a straightaway shot from aboutfive meters to make it a one-goal game. TheChargers had a 6-on-5 opportunity to make it atwo-possession game in the final minute, butTrabucco made a big save. Santa Barbara,however, couldn't find the equalizer.Both teams play their next matches on

Tuesday when the Dons host Mater Dei andthe Chargers host Laguna Beach. The SantaBarbara Tournament of Champions will beginon Friday.

with the Housing Authority, said youths are anunderserved population when it comes toaffordable housing.“Once they turn 18 they’re on their own,”

he said, “and a lot of times these kids end uphomeless. We want to help them avoid that andget them on the right track.”The Housing Authority is currently search-

ing for teens to live in Artisan Court, which isscheduled to open in March. They are alsoworking closely with the community’s non-profit organizations such as Noah’s AnchorageYouth Crisis Center to find those most in need.Mark Watson is director of the crisis center

and deals with many youths who might fit theprofile for the new tenants. The center has longhelped out with laundry and other everydaysituations, but now “not only can we do thesethings, but we can offer them a place to live,”he said.Watson sees this housing opportunity as

crucial for youths who come from abusive sit-uations and “don’t have the skill set necessaryfor healthy relationships” in order for them tostart new independent and self-sufficient lives.The program will also provide support servic-es in cooperation with YMCA and Pathpoint toeducate the youths in job skills and living serv-ices.To qualify for these units, applicants can’t

make more than 30 to 60 percent of the AreaMedian Income, which in Santa BarbaraCounty comes out to between $16,350 and$32,700.“There are a lot of people in downtown

areas who don’t make that much and couldqualify for this affordable housing,”Fredericks said. “We don’t have any problemsmeeting those requirements.”Although youths will have a big share of the

new units they are also meant to house a num-ber of chronically homeless people.That definition includes having been home-

less for more than a year, or multiple timeswithin a two-year-period. They also need to beexperiencing physical or mental health disabil-ities.Those defined as chronically homeless can

also receive Social Security Disability income,which in many cases will be enough for rent atArtisan Court.“Chronically homeless people make up 15

to 20 percent of the homeless population inSanta Barbara, but they use 50 percent of theavailable resources,” Mike Foley said, execu-tive director for the Casa Esperanza homelessshelter.“It proves to be a lot cheaper to the system

[to provide them with housing] than if they aregoing between hospitals and jail cells,” hesaid. “We can make sure they don’t die on ourstreets. That’s why these projects are so impor-tant.”

It was a tough decision, but contestdirector Chris Keet felt the forecast foroptimal surf conditions for the RinconClassic wasn’t satisfactory for the fullweekend and he postponed the eventfor a later time.Scheduled for Jan. 8-9 at the

renowned surf spot at the SantaBarbara-Ventura County line, theRincon Classic is the oldest and mostrevered surf contest on the CentralCoast. It consistently attracts thearea’s best surfers, many of whomhave made names for themselves in the

sport worldwide.“After careful consideration and

upon the advisement of our officialswell forecasters at surfline.com wehave opted to postpone the event fromthis weekend, rolling the dice into thewaiting period for superior swell,”Keet said in a statement. “With onlyhead-high waves predicted forSaturday and dropping throughout theweekend, this is the best call we canmake for our community.”Among the big local names entered

in the Queen of the Coast event areDemi Boelsterli, the six-time defend-ing Women’s Open champion, and six-

time Pro Division champ KilianGarland.“We also have 12 invitees selected

for the Gunshow free surf expressionsession with some of the biggestnames in the world that live in the 805on board,” said Keet. He noted that Surfline forecasters

are predicting “some great long periodswells coming our way in the next fewweeks that will provide superior con-ditions.“We appreciate your patience and

are looking forward to seeing every-one at the event when the Queen istruly Classic,” he said.

Calif. insider trading defendantsays FBI sought her help

A former technology consultant jailedin a widening investigation of insidertrading at hedge funds says she wasapproached by FBI agents who soughther cooperation in the probe just weeksbefore her arrest.Winifred Jiau, the only woman

among seven people arrested sinceNovember, is also the only defendantwho has been denied bail. A Reutersreporter spoke with her for about 20minutes on Thursday morning in a visit-ing room at a sprawling jail in northernCalifornia, days after the FBI arrestedher at her home in Fremont onDecember 28.Jiau, 43, a very thin woman whose

white jail ID bracelet dwarfed her wrist,said she was sharing a cell with anotherprisoner. The institution serves bolognaevery day, a food that the dual U.S. andTaiwan citizen said was unfamiliar toher."The only thing normal is milk," said

Jiau, who wore a yellow jumpsuit andglasses decorated with flower patterns."Initially the FBI just wanted me to

be a cooperating witness," Jiau said. Shedeclined to be more specific, but saidshe was approached by authorities inearly December.U.S. prosecutors in Manhattan allege

Jiau peddled information about comput-er chipmakers Marvell TechnologyGroup Ltd and Nvidia Corp through an"expert network" firm in exchange formore than $200,000. She has not yetentered a plea in the case.The high-profile probe by the FBI,

prosecutors and securities regulators

into trading on confidential companyinformation at hedge funds stretchesback at least three years. It has beenramped up in the last two months toinclude prosecutions of consultantsaccused of tipping off hedge funds aboutconfidential information, mostly at techcompanies including Apple Computer.UNDECIDED ABOUTCOOPERATIONJiau declined to discuss the specific

allegations against her."I have not decided" whether to coop-

erate with authorities, said Jiau, whospoke by telephone behind a glass parti-tion in the Santa Rita Jail, a detentioncenter for pretrial defendants about 35miles east of San Francisco.A spokesman for the FBI declined to

comment on Jiau's remarks. A spokes-woman for the office of the ManhattanU.S. Attorney also declined to comment.Jiau will eventually be sent to New

York to make an initial appearance inU.S. District Court there on charges ofconspiracy and securities fraud, whichcarry prison sentences of up to 25 years.But a Reuters legal analysis suggests

that if recent history is any guide, peoplefound guilty tend to receive muchlighter sentences than called for by thecharges.Jiau said that she was having difficul-

ty finding an attorney in New York, inpart because many law firms had con-flicts due to preexisting clients in theprobe."I really need a counsel," Jiau said,

adding that she was unprepared for her

arrest."When I was arrested I didn't remem-

ber any phone number" of someone tocontact to help her post bail. Last week,a federal magistrate judge granted Jiau$250,000 bail, but she was held becausethe person who initially agreed to co-sign the bond withdrew the offer.A different magistrate judge on

Monday then refused to grant her bail,saying she could be a flight risk. Thejudge said she has no ties to the commu-nity because she is not married, has nochildren, and her immediate family livein Taiwan.In Thursday's interview Jiau likened

her situation to John Kinnucan, an inde-pendent research analyst in Oregon whohas said publicly that the FBIapproached him, but that he refused tocooperate. Kinnucan has not beenarrested or charged with any crimes.Authorities have attempted to gain

cooperation of other people whosenames have surfaced in the probes.Agents sought the cooperation of

insider trading defendant ManoshaKarunatilaka before his arrest lastmonth, a source familiar with the situa-tion has said. Karunatilaka was a man-ager at Taiwan SemiconductorManufacturing Company NorthAmerica in Massachusetts.Primary Global Research, an expert

networking firm, has said Jiau workedwith the firm from September 2006 untilDecember 2008. The period roughlycorresponds with the time-frame inwhich prosecutors said Jiau's allegedillegal activity took place.
