SAN DIEGO — From boxers to businessmen, foreign and U.S. groups are threatening to boycott California over its anti-immigrant Proposition 187.
But some state officials are predicting the threats may never result in full-scale boycotts.
"The argument we make to Latino groups is that it harms the Latinos they profess to want to help. Boycott don't help anyone. They end up hurting people," said Sean Walsh, a representative for Gov. Pete Wilson, a strong supporter of the new immigration law.

So far, activists in Texas, Arizona and Colorado have called for boycots of California businesses. And the World Boxing Council, based in Mexico City, is refusing to participate in any world title fights in California for four months to protest the measure.
Proposition 187, approved by the voters last week, would deny schooling, welfare and non-emergency health care to illegal immigrants. It has been blocked by legal challenges.
"We understand there's an emotional reaction to Proposition 187, but two wrongs don't make a right, and that's what's happening now," Grijalva said.
Despite the state's assurances, some California business people are jittery because of the boycott threats.
Part of his concern is for the grocery, clothing and electronics stores along San Diego's southern edge and in its malls downtown, all heavily dependent on middle-class shoppers who cross each day from Tijuana, Mexico.
"If it becomes fashionable, which apparently it is, it could have a tremendous consequence," said Ernesto Grijalva, a trade relations expert for the Greater San Diego Chamber of Commerce.
Cutting taxes would reduce the deficit, Republicans say
WASHINGTON — Republicans preparing to take the reins of Congress have a strategy for paying for some of their promises — using calculations that conclude that some tax cuts would actually earn money for the government.

The method, discounted as inaccurate by many mainstream economists, is derided by Democrats as wishful thinking that will make federal deficits swell again.
"Smoke and mirrors," White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta called it Wednesday.
"The current system is broken," said Rep. John Kasich, R-Ohio, who probably will become House Budget Committee chairman in January. "It needs to be fixed."
But the cadre of conservatives who support the idea say that some tax reductions — especially those for business investments — would stimulate economic activity, which in turn would bring in extra revenues to the government. The current method for calculating the effects of tax changes, used for decades with mostly bipartisan support, does not allow for that.
In addition to Kasich, the new system is supported by Rep. Newt Gingrich of Georgia, the likely next House speaker, and Rep. Richard Armey of Texas, who probably will be House majority leader.
The system, called dynamic scoring, would make it much easier for Republicans to pay for the long, expensive
list of campaign promises in their "Contract With America." Overall, it could make the task tens of billions of dollars smaller.
Their proposed tax cuts include a tax credit of $500 per child, a reduction in the capital-gains tax rate and tax savings for many businesses, better-off Social Security recipients, married couples and others — at a five-year cost of nearly $200 billion. They also pledged to halt recent reductions in Pentagon spending.
Included among the promises is a constitutional amendment calling for a balanced federal budget by 2002, which would require anywhere from $600 billion to $700 billion worth of spending cuts.
The overall price tag for the Republi can contract could approach $1 trillion over five years.
The dynamic scoring method would most dramatically affect two items. One is the reduction in the capital-gains tax rate, which is paid on sales of property. The other would increase investment costs that businesses could write off. Both, Republicans argue, would become big money-earners for the government.
The dispute over calculating tax bills echoes fights that occurred when President Reagan came to Washington in 1891 with an entourage of supply-side economists. They, too, argued that cutting taxes would create extra economic activity, which would generate more money for the Treasury. Reagan's tax cuts were largely rolled back as federal deficits grew.
No Jurassic Park plans for dino DNA
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Scott R. Woodward says he has isolated a bit of DNA from a dinosaur that roamed the plains of Utah 80 million years ago. But the Brigham Young University scientist has no plans to create a Jurassic Park.
Woodward and his colleagues extracted the genetic fragment from bones found in an 1,800-foot-deep coal mine. They have been unable to match it with any living mammal, bird or reptile, and since the bones came from a very ancient rock formation, they think there can be only one source of the DNA.
"I believe we are probably dealing with a dinosaur," said Woodward. The conclusion is based on good circumstantial evidence, he said.
"The bone was found in a rock formation that is dated to 80 million years ago," he said. "There are a lot of traces of dinosaurs in the area from that period. The bones are quite large, and the only large animals that we know about from then are dinosaurs."
"Jurassic Park," a popular novel and movie, is based on the idea that DNA from dinosaurs could be cloned into living animals. But Woodward said that will not happen in his lifetime.
