Headlined by seven-time MVP Barry Bonds and seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens, the field is part of a continuing referendum not on the gaudy numbers of some of the game's greatest players, but on the steroid era in which they played.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonds and Clemens, both on the ballot for the first time, are not expected to receive the necessary 75 percent of the vote from the eligible members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America because they have been linked to performance-enhancing drugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Slugger Sammy Sosa, another first-timer, also is likely to be snubbed because of his association with steroids. Voters have not been kind to steroid-tainted sluggers Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro, who are still on the ballot but never have not gotten close to enshrinement.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Even Major League Baseball's unofficial historian, Ken Burns, has an \u003ca href=\"http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ken-burns-clemens-bonds-baseball-409759\" target=\"_blank\">opinion on this\u003c/a>. The Hollywood Reporter asked him...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Hollywood Reporter: Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds and Mike Piazza are all on the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot. Would you vote for them?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ken Burns: \u003c/strong>No.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>THR: Ever?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ken Burns:\u003c/strong> I want them to suffer for a while.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>THR: Even if they were good before they allegedly used steroids?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ken Burns: \u003c/strong>I think the argument is that without a doubt Clemens and Bonds should be in there, and at the highest levels. Barry Bonds may be the greatest baseball player of all time, and Roger Clemens -- maybe you’d get some arguments from the [\u003cstrong>Sandy\u003c/strong>] \u003cstrong>Koufax\u003c/strong>/[\u003cstrong>Pedro\u003c/strong>] \u003cstrong>Martinez\u003c/strong> sector and the \u003cstrong>Walter Johnson\u003c/strong> segment and the \u003cstrong>Nolan Ryan\u003c/strong> crowd -- but they are two of the very, very best. And before when we think they began taking, they’re Hall of Fame caliber. But at the same time, the problem is we don’t know who didn’t at all. I mean, I know one person in all of the Major Leagues I’m absolutely certain didn’t, and that’s \u003cstrong>Ichiro Suzuki\u003c/strong>. But other than that, I have no guarantee that anyone you loved and think is way above that didn’t do it. And that is why they need to wait and wait and wait. Because it makes it impossible for us to judge excellence in this era.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Bonds of course was actually convicted of obstruction of justice related to his grand jury testimony about steroids. The jury, however, could not agree on whether Bonds had committed perjury when he testified that he never knowingly took steroids or human growth hormone, and the judge declared a mistrial. Bond was sentenced to 30 days of home detention on the obstruction charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HOF voter Paul Gutierrez of CSN Bay Area writes today that he did not vote for Bonds or the other steroids-connected players. Here's how his thinking on this issue went...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>It would have been easy to simply plug my nose, close my eyes and make my mark in the boxes (with big scarlet letters?) next to their names... Sorry, couldn't do it. Not with a clear conscience, anyway...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, I was that conflicted as I faxed in my ballot on New Year's Eve. But this is not some overzealous moralist ploy with its flag planted in Rule 5 of the BBWAA Rules For Election to the National baseball Hall of Fame: Voting shall be based upon the player's record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there it is, the so-called \"character clause,\" which really is not a clause at all. And yet, by juicing and making a mockery of the record book, which is a much more sacred text in baseball than in any other sport, they impugned the character of the game, regardless of the legal ramifications, or lack thereof...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On one hand, the Steroid Era happened, and Bonds and Clemens were the headliners from the batter's box and the pitcher's mound. Seven MVPs. Seven Cy Youngs. You can't ignore it, can't simply look the other way as baseball itself did at the time. Cooperstown is a living, breathing testament to the game, and to ignore the era would be a disservice to baseball's history...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bottom line, what do you tell impressionable children about the short cuts taken with illegal-by-government-standards pharmaceutical help, and the lack of forthrightness coming from these players? To vote now for the likes of Bonds, Clemens and Sosa, let alone Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro, would serve as an endorsement of PED use, akin to telling kids it's OK to cheat the integrity of the game to get ahead, while playing Russian Roulette with your health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not to say I will never vote for a PED guy. The fog of time has a way of changing perspective and perhaps witnessing the shame of the Steroid players having to sit out a while before being voted into the Hall serves as a needed cautionary tale for those impressionable youths. \u003ca href=\"http://www.csnbayarea.com/blog/paul-gutierrez/more-questions-answers-hall-fame-ballot\" target=\"_blank\">Full post here\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In November, \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20121121&content_id=40391402&vkey=news_sf&c_id=sf&tcid=tw_article_40391402\" target=\"_blank\">Bonds told MLB.com\u003c/a> that he did \"really care\" about making the Hall...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I do really care,\" Bonds said. \"I may say I don't, but I do really care.

Voters have not been kind to steroid-tainted sluggers Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro, who are still on the ballot but never have not gotten close to enshrinement.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Even Major League Baseball's unofficial historian, Ken Burns, has an \u003ca href=\"http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ken-burns-clemens-bonds-baseball-409759\" target=\"_blank\">opinion on this\u003c/a>.

Barry Bonds may be the greatest baseball player of all time, and Roger Clemens -- maybe you’d get some arguments from the [\u003cstrong>Sandy\u003c/strong>] \u003cstrong>Koufax\u003c/strong>/[\u003cstrong>Pedro\u003c/strong>] \u003cstrong>Martinez\u003c/strong> sector and the \u003cstrong>Walter Johnson\u003c/strong> segment and the \u003cstrong>Nolan Ryan\u003c/strong> crowd -- but they are two of the very, very best. And before when we think they began taking, they’re Hall of Fame caliber. But at the same time, the problem is we don’t know who didn’t at all. I mean, I know one person in all of the Major Leagues I’m absolutely certain didn’t, and that’s \u003cstrong>Ichiro Suzuki\u003c/strong>. But other than that, I have no guarantee that anyone you loved and think is way above that didn’t do it. And that is why they need to wait and wait and wait. Because it makes it impossible for us to judge excellence in this era.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Bonds of course was actually convicted of obstruction of justice related to his grand jury testimony about steroids. The jury, however, could not agree on whether Bonds had committed perjury when he testified that he never knowingly took steroids or human growth hormone, and the judge declared a mistrial. Bond was sentenced to 30 days of home detention on the obstruction charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HOF voter Paul Gutierrez of CSN Bay Area writes today that he did not vote for Bonds or the other steroids-connected players. Here's how his thinking on this issue went...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>It would have been easy to simply plug my nose, close my eyes and make my mark in the boxes (with big scarlet letters?) next to their names... Sorry, couldn't do it. Not with a clear conscience, anyway...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, I was that conflicted as I faxed in my ballot on New Year's Eve. But this is not some overzealous moralist ploy with its flag planted in Rule 5 of the BBWAA Rules For Election to the National baseball Hall of Fame: Voting shall be based upon the player's record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there it is, the so-called \"character clause,\" which really is not a clause at all. And yet, by juicing and making a mockery of the record book, which is a much more sacred text in baseball than in any other sport, they impugned the character of the game, regardless of the legal ramifications, or lack thereof...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On one hand, the Steroid Era happened, and Bonds and Clemens were the headliners from the batter's box and the pitcher's mound. Seven MVPs. Seven Cy Youngs. You can't ignore it, can't simply look the other way as baseball itself did at the time. Cooperstown is a living, breathing testament to the game, and to ignore the era would be a disservice to baseball's history...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bottom line, what do you tell impressionable children about the short cuts taken with illegal-by-government-standards pharmaceutical help, and the lack of forthrightness coming from these players? To vote now for the likes of Bonds, Clemens and Sosa, let alone Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro, would serve as an endorsement of PED use, akin to telling kids it's OK to cheat the integrity of the game to get ahead, while playing Russian Roulette with your health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not to say I will never vote for a PED guy. The fog of time has a way of changing perspective and perhaps witnessing the shame of the Steroid players having to sit out a while before being voted into the Hall serves as a needed cautionary tale for those impressionable youths. \u003ca href=\"http://www.csnbayarea.com/blog/paul-gutierrez/more-questions-answers-hall-fame-ballot\" target=\"_blank\">Full post here\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In November, \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20121121&content_id=40391402&vkey=news_sf&c_id=sf&tcid=tw_article_40391402\" target=\"_blank\">Bonds told MLB.com\u003c/a> that he did \"really care\" about making the Hall...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I do really care,\" Bonds said. \"I may say I don't, but I do really care.

But the Badgers' third consecutive January in Pasadena ended in much the same way as the last two: With the offense failing to get the late score the Badgers desperately needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This stings just as much, because we fell extremely short when we had the opportunity to win,\" Ball said. \"We had numerous opportunities to capitalize on big plays, and we fell short. ...

Wisconsin briefly got rolling behind Ball, who rushed for 296 yards in his first two Rose Bowls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford stopped James White inside the 1 on fourth down early in the second quarter, but Ball scored on the next drive. The Badgers then mounted an 85-yard drive in the waning minutes of the first half ending with Fredrick's short TD catch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a scoreless third quarter, Wisconsin's personal foul on a fair-catch punt return finally sparked the Cardinal early in the fourth. Stanford got inside the Wisconsin 5 before stalling, and Jordan Williamson's short field goal put the Cardinal up by six points with 4:23 to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Badgers got to midfield, but Phillips threw behind Jacob Pedersen, and Amanam easily made the pick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I just happened to be at the right place at the right time,\" Amanam said. \"We were able to kind of seal the game on that one.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Sports fans could cheer at two Giants games, a San Francisco 49ers game and the America's Cup races. Music fans could check out the long lineup of talented artists at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival. Families could enjoy the roar of the air shows in the culmination of Fleet Week. Outdoor partiers could head to the Castro Street Fair. And those interested in the region's diversity could watch the Italian Heritage parade. \"I love living in San Francisco,\" Sucharme wrote in summing up the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4.

Berkeley, seaweed expert Kathy Ann Miller is leading a team of students to digitally photograph 76,000 stunning specimens of seaweed collected from the coasts of California, Oregon and Washington. Many of the red, green and brown seaweeds date back to the 1800s and most of the specimens have been preserved on paper and annotated with handwritten collection notes. The project will culminate next summer with the creation of a database featuring not only the high-resolution photographs, but also a Google map to reveal the geographic coordinates where each specimen was collected.

Berkeley, seaweed expert Kathy Ann Miller is leading a team of students to digitally photograph 76,000 stunning specimens of seaweed collected from the coasts of California, Oregon and Washington. Many of the red, green and brown seaweeds date back to the 1800s and most of the specimens have been preserved on paper and annotated with handwritten collection notes. The project will culminate next summer with the creation of a database featuring not only the high-resolution photographs, but also a Google map to reveal the geographic coordinates where each specimen was collected. Miller hopes that the database will be a valuable scientific tool.

I’ve been through a lot in my life so not too many things bother me. Making the Hall of Fame, would it be something that’s gratifying because of what I’ve sacrificed? Sure.

What am I doing wrong?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can sit here and say, ‘You know what? Baseball is great. I love it.’ I can sit here and say in a very kind way that I’m sorry about the way things ended. I can sit here and say that I respect the Hall of Fame, which I do. But I don’t understand all the controversy we’re having about it. For what reason? What’s there to be gained by all of this? What’s the point?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On paper, Bonds would undoubtedly be a first-ballot Hall of Famer contender simply on merit. Playing his first seven seasons for the Pirates and his last 15 for the Giants, Bonds holds the all-time records for homers in a career (762) and a single season (73), as well as walks (2,558) and intentional walks (688). … He won the National League MVP seven times — three times before 1998, the demarcation line for when many believe the steroid era began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The son of the late Bobby Bonds and the godson of Giants icon and Hall of Famer Willie Mays, Bonds is the only player in MLB history to amass more than 500 homers and 500 stolen bases, finishing with 514 steals. No one else is close, not even Mays, who had 660 homers and 338 steals in 22 seasons. When his career ended in 2007, Bonds finished 65 hits short of 3,000, four RBIs shy of 2,000 and with 2,227 runs scored.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Writers Association will announce the new hall of fame class on January 9th.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

What am I doing wrong?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can sit here and say, ‘You know what? Baseball is great. I love it.’ I can sit here and say in a very kind way that I’m sorry about the way things ended. I can sit here and say that I respect the Hall of Fame, which I do. But I don’t understand all the controversy we’re having about it. For what reason? What’s there to be gained by all of this? What’s the point?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On paper, Bonds would undoubtedly be a first-ballot Hall of Famer contender simply on merit. Playing his first seven seasons for the Pirates and his last 15 for the Giants, Bonds holds the all-time records for homers in a career (762) and a single season (73), as well as walks (2,558) and intentional walks (688). … He won the National League MVP seven times — three times before 1998, the demarcation line for when many believe the steroid era began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The son of the late Bobby Bonds and the godson of Giants icon and Hall of Famer Willie Mays, Bonds is the only player in MLB history to amass more than 500 homers and 500 stolen bases, finishing with 514 steals. No one else is close, not even Mays, who had 660 homers and 338 steals in 22 seasons. When his career ended in 2007, Bonds finished 65 hits short of 3,000, four RBIs shy of 2,000 and with 2,227 runs scored.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Writers Association will announce the new hall of fame class on January 9th.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Bears shared the conference title with USC in 2006 but lost the head-to-head matchup and settled for the Holiday Bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal's fortunes turned downward that next season after a 5-0 start. With the Bears poised to move into the No. 1 spot in the polls following a loss by LSU, they blew a game late to Oregon State when Riley took a sack instead of throwing the ball away in the closing seconds with Cal in position for a game-tying field goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starting with that game, Tedford had a 34-37 record over his final 5 seasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bears even got passed by Stanford in the Pac-12 hierarchy to the dismay of the alumni, with the Cardinal in position to get that Rose Bowl bid that has eluded Cal over the years despite losing star quarterback Andrew Luck to the NFL.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adding to negatives for Tedford was news last month that Cal graduated only 47 percent of football players who entered school between 2002 and 2005 -- the lowest rate in the Pac-12.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The one bright spot in Tedford's final seasons came when Memorial Stadium reopened this fall following the major renovation. The modernized stadium and adjacent $150 million on-campus High Performance Center finally give Cal the facilities to compete with the rest of the conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Tedford's work rebuilding the program and fundraising for the project were integral in its success, his successor will ultimately reap the benefits.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
