PFT: Things are looking up for Norv Turner
Getty ImagesWhen the Raiders decided to trade their 2012 first-round draft pick for Carson Palmer in the middle of the season, it was all about winning now, which meant the move would only make sense if Palmer could lead the Raiders to the playoffs.
And Palmer didn?t lead the Raiders to the playoffs. So when Palmer was asked after Sunday?s loss to the Chargers whether this season was a failure, he acknowledged that it was.
?It was this year,? Palmer told the San Francisco Chronicle. ?It didn?t work out for us this year. I always feel like when you don?t win, the quarterback can always play better, and I can definitely play better. It stinks to sit here and say next year, what are we going to do next year. We?ll get back together, look at film, find ways to get better, find a way to get to the playoffs next year.?
One thing that will hamper the Raiders? efforts to get to the playoffs next season, and in the next few seasons, is that in addition to trading away their 2012 first-round draft pick for Palmer, they?ve also already spent their third- and fourth-round picks on quarterbacks: They used their third-round pick to get Terrelle Pryor in the supplemental draft, and they used their fourth-round pick to get Jason Campbell, whose injury precipitated the trade for Palmer.
So the Raiders have invested heavily in the quarterback position. And that investment didn?t pay off with a trip to the playoffs.

A 'green burial' for cyclist, environmentalist
In life, Patrick Ytsma made it a point to minimize his drag on the environment, in part by riding his bike nearly everywhere he went.
So it was fitting that when he died at 53, after a collision with a car, he would be laid to rest at Bethlehem's Fountain Hill Cemetery, in a special area devoted to environmentally friendly interments.
At Ytsma's Dec. 10 burial, funeral-goers formed a broad semicircle around the wind-swept hillside grave site as pallbearers delicately lifted the earth-friendly sea grass and willow casket that contained his unembalmed body.
Mourners shuffled their feet to stay warm, rustling the leaves and native grasses that cover the area of the cemetery set aside for green burials. More than three dozen cyclists stood by.
Beneath an ice-blue sky, a few words were said and Ytsma's casket was lowered into the ground, the mourners slowly covering him with shovelfuls of dirt.
No harsh chemicals, no polyester-lined coffin, no precast concrete vault.
"It was very gentle," said Ytsma's wife, Judy Parr. "My husband was a sweet and loving man, and it was a gentle and loving way to take care of him. Let the circle of life be complete. Let him go where he belongs. I don't want it interrupted chemically."
It might seem unusual today, but for many years most Americans were buried in a similar fashion, said Mark Harris, a Bethlehem writer who is a national authority on green burials.
Bodies weren't embalmed. Pine caskets were handmade by the village carpenter and most people were buried in a hand-dug grave in a designated section of their family's property or the community graveyard.
That all changed during the Civil War, Harris said. Union soldiers' bodies had to be embalmed to endure the long, hot train ride north for burial. When President Lincoln's body was embalmed for its memorial train tour around the country, that helped popularize the practice.
Meanwhile, the Industrial Revolution hit the casket industry, which began cranking out mass-produced metal caskets. Concrete burial vaults were employed to deter grave robbers and remained popular with cemeteries because they prevented settling.
While it all had a certain utility, none of it was terribly earth-friendly, Harris said.
"Today, a 10-acre cemetery has enough wood to rebuild 40 homes, 20,000 tons of concrete and enough toxic formalin to fill a small backyard swimming pool," said Harris, who has written a book on green funerals titled "Grave Matters: A Journey Through the Modern Funeral Industry to a Natural Way of Burial."
Demand for a greener final act, which remains limited but is growing, is being driven mostly by baby boomers, many of whom are now entering their retirement years, Harris said.
Funeral director John Kulik in nearby Allentown said he had seen interest, but that until century-old Fountain Hill opened its green section, there was no local cemetery in eastern Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley that could accommodate green burials.
"We had to go to upstate New York or North Carolina. If you have a lot of people driving, it kind of defeats the purpose," Kulik said. "Think of all the fossil fuels."
Parr said she and her husband never specifically talked about how they wanted to be buried. Ytsma was in perfect health. But they had read a story in the Allentown Morning Call about green burials, and it appealed to both of them.
"I just like the thought of him being there, and I like the thought that there will be wildflowers there," she said. "We did not fertilize our lawn. It is another way of taking comfort. I think it's neat Pat is taking the lead in an option that I think a lot of people of all kinds might find beautiful and meaningful."
As an environmentalist, family friend and former co-worker of Ytsma's, Deirdre Kwiatek already liked the idea of green funerals. Experiencing one firsthand has her seriously considering the idea for herself, especially now that there is a local place for it.
"It helps say goodbye," Kwiatek said. "I like it from the environmental standpoint, intellectually, because of the green nature of it. But there was a whole side where it really puts you very much in contact with that whole process of living and dying, and I think that is a good thing."

San Pedro woman killed walking home from church on Christmas Eve
Eva Tice
| POLICE NEWS | BLOG: SOUTH BAY CRIME, COURT NEWS | FACEBOOKEva Tice had looked forward to Christmas this year. A family adopted the disabled 60-year-old woman and her roommate, providing her a tree that sat decorated atop a table in their San Pedro apartment.
"She was very excited for Christmas," Los Angeles police Detective Patty Batts said. "She hadn't had a Christmas tree for many years. ... She was very excited about a small little duck hanging on the

tree. She thought it was real pretty."Tice, who had a mental capacity that varied from a 6-year-old girl to a young woman, had lived a difficult life. She became a ward of the state as a young child when her parents were killed in a car wreck.
Without family to care for her, social workers and caregivers took over, helping Tice to live independently. She was married for many years to another mentally disabled man.
He died six months ago, about the time she moved into her latest apartment on 12th Street, not far from her beloved church, Hope Chapel, where she recently was baptised.
"She was an usher at the church," Batts said. "She really wanted to help. She would always come to the Friday dinners, the Saturday garage sales. She would always come to Sunday services."
And then there was Christmas.
"She was excited about the Christmas season," a pastor said. "She was even more joyful than usual. She had a great smile on her face, looked very rested and was excited to celebrate Christmas."
Her Bible in hand, Tice walked to Hope Chapel for the 6 p.m. Christmas Eve service on Saturday.
"She was very kind, enjoyed interacting with people and and enjoyed serving God," the pastor said.
The service ended about 7 p.m. Tice, who had recovered from a recently broken hip, headed home.
Police are not sure what happened next. Residents who heard moaning found Tice on the sidewalk on Pacific Avenue, covered with blood, her Bible at her side.
Batts said detectives know she walked along Pacific from 9th Street. Someone assaulted her between 11th and 12th streets.
Witnesses saw a man running away.
The assailant stabbed Tice multiple times, Batts said. She died at a hospital.
Detectives suspect the motive was robbery, but do not know if he took anything.
"It's Christmas Eve," Batts said. "She's coming from a church service carrying her Bible. She is
mentally disabled, physically disabled, all of 4-foot-11 and somebody assaults her. For what? I don't know at this time. All they had to do is just take it from her."The crime has shaken congregants at her church, including a female pastor, who did not want her name published for fear of retaliation from a killer nobody knows.
"She attended church every week," the pastor said. "She was a sweet gal."
A worship leader mentioned her death during Christmas services on Sunday, but no one knew the circumstances.
"We are very disappointed that this has happened," the pastor said. "We hope that the person is found as quick as possible."
Detectives who have little to go on believe somebody must have seen

something that can help them find a something."We need the public's help," Batts said. "When we watch video from the surrounding businesses, we can see heavy vehicle traffic in both directions. We can see pedestrian traffic."
A busy bar is located at 11th Street and Pacific.
Batts asked anyone with information to call her at 310-726-7889 or Detective David Alvarez at 310-726-7879.
"I know people saw things," the detective said.
