ATLANTA (CBS / AP) — Make way Joe Montana and Steve Young. Colin Kaepernick is leading a brash new group of 49ers to the Super Bowl.
San Francisco is ready to start a new dynasty in the Big Easy with a familiar formula: The clutch quarterback, the genius coach and the big-play defense.
Kaepernick and Frank Gore led the 49ers to a record comeback in the NFC championship game Sunday, overcoming an early 17-0 deficit to beat the Atlanta Falcons 28-24 and send the 49ers to their first Super Bowl since 1995.
Gore scored a pair of touchdowns, including the winner with 8:23 remaining for San Francisco’s first lead of the day, and the 49ers defense made it stand up. A fourth-down stop at the 10-yard line denied Atlanta another stirring comeback after blowing a big lead.
“Everybody does a little,” 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said, “and it adds up to be a lot.”

SAN FRANCISCO -- Colin Kaepernick ran for a quarterback playoff record 181 yards and two touchdowns and threw two scoring passes to Michael Crabtree in leading the San Francisco 49ers back to the NFC championship game with a 45-31 victory against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night.
Playoff first-timer Kaepernick outshined reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers, who never got in sync for the Packers (12-6) in finishing 26 of 39 for 257 yards with two touchdowns.

Colin Kaepernick rushes for 181 yards, a single-game postseason record for a QB, in the Niners' win. (US Presswire) SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — Colin Kaepernick did the passing and running, and Aaron Rodgers just couldn’t keep up. Kaepernick outplayed the reigning NFL MVP and former Super Bowl champion in one sensational, record-setting playoff debut and led San Francisco right back to the NFC championship game with a 45-31 win over the Green Bay Packers in an NFC divisional game Saturday night. Kaepernick rushed for a quarterback playoff record 181 yards and two touchdowns and threw two scoring passes to Michael Crabtree. Next up for the Niners: a game on Jan. 20 for a spot in the Super Bowl, against the winner of Sunday’s game between the Seattle Seahawks and Falcons at Atlanta. “It feels good. We’re one step closer to where we want to be,” Kaepernick said. “I feel like I had a lot to prove. A lot of people doubted my ability to lead this team.” And what a playoff debut it was by the second-year pro making just his eighth NFL start. No doubting Jim Harbaugh’s big midseason gamble switching quarterbacks now. Rodgers never got in sync for the Packers (12-6), finishing 26 of 39 for 257 yards with two touchdowns. Kaepernick ran for scores of 20 and 56 yards on the way to topping the rushing mark of 119 yards set by Michael Vick in 2005 against St. Louis. Crabtree caught TD passes of 12 and 20 yards in the second quarter and wound up with nine receptions and 119 yards for the Niners (12-4-1) in the NFC divisional matchup. San Francisco had 579 total yards with 323 on the ground, scoring its third-most points in the franchise’s storied playoff history. |

Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Christina Garcia-Sen said on Thursday that Theo Lani Bell, 62, is now in custody on charges of defrauding Housing for Independent People for "extensive and unneeded" plumbing repairs to an Oakland property, which houses a homeless shelter. Sen said that Bell would submit requests for payment from the housing nonprofit that she charged on her own credit card, and would allegedly pocket the reiumbursement money.
Sen said that investigators are still trying to determine what she used the money for.
The charges stem from 2004 to 2009, when she worked at the housing center.
Bell was discovered in 2009 when a new supervisor came on board and discovered the repairs weren't necessary. The hardware store didn't carry the "specialized" parts Bell had ordered, according to prosecutors, and had never done any business with her.
Bell resigned that same year.
Bell was arrested in Hawaii several months ago on the island of Hawaii at her family's cattle ranch, and brought back to Santa Clara county by DA investigator Norm Levy this week.
She had already been arraigned on felony charges of grand theft and tax violations. She was unavailable for immediate comment, and it wasn't immediately clear if she was being represented by an attorney.
