| Hester's 2 TDs for Bears send Saints out of playoffs
Adrian Peterson ran for 91 yards and Garrett Wolfe caught a screen pass for 31 yards.
Offensive coordinator Ron Turner made sure not to finish the season without showing off a few tricks. Peterson tossed a nine-yard touchdown to Berrian on a halfback option, and Hester looked for Berrian down the field after an end-around before getting sacked.
The defense struggled to stop Saints rookie Pierre Thomas, an Illinois alumnus who did a better than fair impression of the injured Reggie Bush with 226 yards from scrimmage.
But it harassed Drew Brees, who completed 35 of 60 passes for 320 yards, with three touchdowns and two interceptions. Urlacher had his fourth interception in five weeks and Brown had a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
Then there was Hester, the record-setter who can single-handedly keep the Bears in just about any game.

Religious police in Saudi Arabia arrest mother for sitting with a man
Yara's husband, Hatim, used his political contacts in Jeddah to track her whereabouts. He was able to secure her release. "I was lucky. I met other women in that prison who don't have the connections I did," she said. Her story has received rare coverage in Saudi Arabia, where the press has been sharply critical of the police. Yara was visited yesterday by officials from the American Embassy, who promised they would file a report. An embassy official told The Times that it was being treated as "an internal Saudi matter" and refused to comment on her case.

Alonso's homecoming falls flat as Ferrari dominates first winter ...
The session didn't finish on a high note for the two-time F1 champion, either, with Alonso's car stalling on the straightaway as he rounded for his final lap, smoke billowing from its engine. Instead, Ferrari dominated to show why it is still the team to beat heading into the new season. Felipe Massa finished with the fastest time of 1 minute, 12.182 seconds from 97 laps around the 4.005-kilometer (2.49-mile) Cheste Circuit track. .
AHH YEAR IN REVIEW 2007: American Gangster All-Star Review
It is still a good possibility that people can do different things and still be accepted commercially as well. I think that was a highlight for me. It's hard to tell if this is a classic, classics are defined by time. I don't know if it has that quality to it. I think for me it was more a refreshing kind of change of what was going with all the ringtone rapping. - JR Writer: No comment. - Mr. Collipark: Can I be honest with you? I didn't buy it. I tried to buy it once on I-Tunes (laughs). Quite honestly I don't go to the store that much. From what I heard so far though, I like it better compared to what I heard on the last album (Kingdome Come). That's why I probably didn't make a point to just go get that record feel me? I feel like music is going through something right now and for me I'm playing my old music.
Washington notebook
Washington notebook Toyota will monitor drivers to help keep them awake Toyota Motor Corp. announced that it will begin offering a driver-monitoring system on some vehicles to alert motorists who are getting sleepy behind the wheel. The eye-monitoring feature -- which will first roll out on vehicles sold in Japan -- uses a camera and image-processing computer to determine the position of a driver's eyelids. If the pre-crash safety system senses that a crash is imminent -- and that a driver's eyes aren't properly open -- it sounds a warning. The system alerts drivers during what it calls "the possibility of collision." Toyota has a similar face-monitoring feature on its $104,000 Lexus 600h. .
