SACRAMENTO Democratic
lawmakers are proposing to spend
about $500 million a year in newly
approved tax revenue on energy ef-
ciency projects at schools in
Californias poorest communities.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg of Sacramento and Sen.
Kevin de Leon
of Los Angeles
announced leg-
islation Tuesday
that they say
will create jobs
and help thou-
sands of schools
reduce their
energy costs.
They held a
news conference
at a 63-year-old
Sacramento ele-
mentary school
to highlight the
need for ventila-
tion and lighting
improvements.
Democrats are
relying on
roughly $2.5
billion over ve years in revenue
from Proposition 39, which voters
overwhelmingly approved last
month. The initiative closes a corpo-
rate tax loophole and is expected to
raise about $1 billion a year overall.
The other half of the money gener-
ated by Proposition 39 will go to the
states general fund, which pays for a
variety of programs such as schools,
health care and social services.
The funding is in addition to Gov.
Jerry Browns Proposition 30,
which is expected to bring in an
additional $6 billion a year from
increases in the state sales and
income taxes.
De Leon said his bill, SB 39, best
reects the aim of the California
Clean Energy Jobs Act because

Redwood City ofcials say they
owe it to residents to evaluate the
countys primary waste collection
agency to see if it is being as ef-
cient as possible while its members
make hard decisions about rate
hikes year after year.
Councilwoman Rosanne Foust,
who chairs the citys utilities com-
mission seeking a blue ribbon task
force on the South Bay Waste
Management Authority, said at
Monday nights council meeting she
was also troubled by the handling of
an ex-employees retaliation claim
against the executive director after
her job was cut.
Im not going to sugarcoat this,
Foust said in a video of the meeting,
When the governing body chooses
not to put the
executive direc-
tor on leave
while the issue is
being looked at
... it just said to
us, you know
what? Its time
to take a look at
the whole gover-
nance structure.
Whether an external review of the
SBWMA happens remains to be
seen. The City Council unanimous-
ly agreed to send letters to each
member agency inviting them to
name a representative for a task
force by February. Each member
must now decide for itself whether
to participate.
The SBWMA, also known as
RethinkWaste, formed in 1982 and
City hopes others join

Federal authorities in San
Francisco have announced one of
the largest seizures of methamphet-
amine in U.S. history: more than
570 pounds, with an estimated street
value of $6 million.
U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag said
Monday that the drug haul was
seized on Friday while authorities
were arresting 11 people on federal
and state drug, money laundering
and weapons charges.
Five of those arrested were
charged in a federal grand jury
indictment Thursday with conspira-
cy to distribute methamphetamine,
distribution of the drug and money
laundering. The indictment was
unsealed on Monday.
Haag said those defendants made
initial appearances before a federal
magistrate in San Jose on Friday and
are due to return for further pretrial
proceedings this week.

Eighth grader Taylor Dawley, portraying Luther Martin of Maryland on the left, tries to convince Kiran Rao,
portraying William Paterson of New Jersey,that slaves should count as three-fths of a person when determining
population for representation during a mock constitutional convention at North Star Academy in Redwood City
Tuesday morning.
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
One question was before the
eighth grade students in Alastair
Duncans class Tuesday morning:
Should slaves count in a states pop-
ulation?
The North Star Academy class
was in the midst of a ve-week
process to experience the
Constitutional Convention.
Students, donning homemade white
wigs, previously researched an indi-
vidual and the state they represent-
ed. In groups of two, representing
different states, students took part in
the convention to decide how the
U.S. government would run. On
Tuesdays agenda: Deciding how
the population would be tallied so
the right number of representatives
could be assigned to each state.
It wasnt an easy question. Often
Duncan, dressed as George
Washington, reminded students that
the modern point of view about
slaves was not the attitude of those
in 1787. Therefore, the modern ide-
ology about equality had no place in
the conversation.
Luther Martin of Maryland, por-
trayed by Taylor Dawley, made the
rst motion that slaves should count
as three-fths of a person which
was the compromise actually
reached in 1787. It was seconded
and debate ensued. Some worried
about the complicated formula.
Others thought it was unfair to
count a person who was treated like
livestock. Perhaps if slaves were to
be counted so should livestock, one
suggested. South Carolina wanted
each slave to count as a full person.
Others spoke loudly to their

A driver whose out-of-control car sent a
concrete garbage can ying into a 67-year-old
San Mateo pedestrian who later died pleaded
not guilty yesterday to gross vehicular
manslaughter, felony hit and run and misde-
meanor child endangerment.
Josue Lopez, 26, appeared in a San Mateo
County courtroom for the second time yester-
day since his arrest in the death of Reynaldo
Aguiniga who was left pinned against a tree
by the bizarre accident. Lopez allegedly
checked on Aguiniga after the crash but ed
the scene in his car with his 5-year-old child
and was later arrested.
Lopez pleaded not
guilty to all counts
Tuesday afternoon and
was given a Jan. 31 pre-
liminary hearing estimated
to last two hours. Lopezs
$250,000 bail was upheld
and he remains in custody.
The fatal accident
occurred at approximately
11:30 a.m. Nov. 24 in the
1700 block of South Delaware Street after the
driver of a green 1994 Chevrolet Camaro later
identied as Lopez lost control of the vehicle
while speeding out of the Kmart parking lot.
The car reportedly jumped the curb, went
onto the sidewalk and into a cement garbage
container that dislodged and hit Aguiniga.
Responding police ofcers found Aguiniga
pinned between the can and tree near a bus
stop. Aguiniga later died at the hospital.
San Mateo police tracked down Lopez to
his home using witness descriptions of the
suspect car and a partial license plate number.
Police say drugs and alcohol dont appear to
be factors.
If convicted of all charges, Lopez faces
approximately seven years in prison, said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.

Driver pleads not guilty in fatal collision
Josue Lopez
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A 22-year-old woman who spent several
months in a state mental hospital after her
arrest for allegedly stabbing a taxi driver
transporting her back home to Pacica from a
Daly City shopping center will stand trial on
attempted murder, carjacking and weapons
charges.
Amanda Jenille Aldeguer has pleaded not
guilty to the charges but was held to answer
after a judge found sufcient evidence at a
preliminary hearing in which one ofcer tes-
tied and the cabs videotape of the stabbing
was played.
A prosecution request to hike bail to $1
million was denied and Aldeguer remains
held in lieu of $500,000.
Pacica police arrested
Aldeguer March 16 after
her mother called 911 for
medical help after seeing
an injury on her hand.
Authorities connected it to
an earlier stabbing and
carjacking report in the
area of West Manor Drive
and Esplanade Avenue. At
that call, they found a
bleeding man, a driver for Serra Yellow Cab,
who said a woman he picked up at
Serramonte Center pulled out a knife during
the trip to Pacica and stabbed him in the
neck. As he resisted, she continued to stab, he
said. After the driver stopped the car and ed,
the woman later identied as Aldeguer got
into the front seat and drove away. Police
found the car near a Pacica park with a knife
inside. The cars video camera recorded the
attack, according to the District Attorneys
Ofce.
Aldeguer was apprehended in South San
Francisco.
Before Aldeguer could have a preliminary
hearing, her attorney expressed doubts about
her competence for trial and she was ulti-
mately committed to Napa State Hospital.
She returned to San Mateo County after hos-
pital staff concluded she had been restored to
competence.
She remains in custody in lieu of $500,000.

two teenagers who robbed and assaulted a 16-
year-old boy on Monday evening.
Ofcers responded to a report of a robbery

SAN FRANCISCO Two federal judges
in California have arrived at opposite conclu-
sions on whether the states rst-of-its-kind
law prohibiting licensed psychotherapists
from trying to change the sexual orientations
of gay minors violates the Constitution. The
measure remains clear to take effect on Jan.1.
U.S. District Judge Kimberly Mueller on
Tuesday refused to block the law after con-
cluding that opponents who have sued in her
Sacramento court to overturn it were unlikely
to prove the ban on conversion therapy
unfairly tramples on their civil rights.
The opponents argued the law would make
them liable for discipline if they merely rec-
ommended the therapy to patients or discuss it
with them. Mueller said they didnt demon-
strate that they were likely to win, so she
wouldnt block the law.
Mueller issued her decision in a lawsuit led
by four counselors, two families, a profession-
al organization for practitioners and a Christian
therapists group. It came half a day after her
colleague, U.S. District Judge William Shubb,
handed down a somewhat competing ruling in
a similar, but separate lawsuit.
Saying he found the First Amendment
issues presented by the ban to be compelling,
Shubb late Monday ordered the state to tem-
porarily exempt three people named in the
case before him two mental health
providers and a former patient who is studying
to practice sexual orientation change therapy.
Drenched Northern
California gets more rain
SAN FRANCISCO A new storm system
made its way Tuesday through already
drenched Northern California, prompting
renewed ood concerns in parts of the region.
Rain began falling along the coast around 5
a.m. and reached inland areas in the afternoon.
Coastal mountains could see as much as 6
inches of precipitation before the storm moves
out on Wednesday, the National Weather
Service said.
Other areas may only see an inch or so.
Forecasters were not expecting weather as
severe as the series of storms that rocked the
region over a five-day period that ended
Sunday.

Burglary suspect
takes deal, goes to prison
A man found with $700 in his shoe after he
and two others were arrested for a string of res-
idential burglaries in Redwood City and
Belmont in October was sentenced to two years
in prison after pleading no contest to one
felony.
Wyatt King, 34, of Oakland, waived a pre-
sentencing report and immediately received the
low term with credit of 106 days after accept-
ing the negotiated plea on one count of resi-
dential burglary. Prosecutors had sought four
years in prison.
Co-defendant Gabriel Sykes Carter, 42, did
not settle his case at the same court conference
and is set for trial Dec. 17 while another co-
defendant, Raphaelle Trendell Jones, 23, of
Citrus Heights, will have a preliminary hearing
Jan. 29.
The three men were arrested Oct. 12 at a
Redwood City home after a neighbor saw the
strangers enter the residence on the 400 block
of Pine Street and called 911 to report a bur-
glary in process. The home had been ransacked
and police recovered property from another
home burglarized earlier that day on the 1300
block of Sunnyslope Avenue in Belmont.
Nearby, police reported nding Jones vehicle
containing a large amount of marijuana. King
had the money in his shoe and Jones had
$12,000 hidden between his buttocks, accord-
ing to the District Attorneys Ofce.
Carter remains in custody on $100,000 bail
while Jones is free on the same posted bond.
Phone company sues
city for sewage damage
Faulty sewers under a Pacic Bell building in
San Bruno caused more than $200,000 in dam-
ages which the company is requesting the city
pay in a lawsuit led last week.
In December 2010, Pacic Bell Telephone
Company discovered that the facilities for its
central ofce were damaged and contaminated
due to sewage from San Brunos sewer system,
according to a four-page lawsuit submitted by
attorney Gerard J. Donnellan, representing
Pacic Bell Telephone Company. As a result,
the company paid for pumping and removal of
the contaminants of the facility, properly
dumping of what was pumped, as well as
cleaning and repairing the facilities, according
to the lawsuit.
We havent seen the lawsuit yet and so cant
provide any detailed comment, said San
Bruno City Attorney Marc Zafferano. The
citys claims adjuster has been working active-
ly with AT&T to obtain documentation that
would support their claims. The city believes
that the suit was led now because of the
impending expiration of the statute of limita-
tions.
The lawsuit said the problem has happened
multiple times. As a result, the company is ask-
ing for $207,000 to cover the costs of repairing,
replacing and installing underground cables,
conduits and other facilities; labor and material
costs; loss of use and revenue; all legal fees and
any further relief deemed appropriate by the
court.
Man accused of pimping
girlfriend, 13, takes deal
A Redwood City man accused of pimping
his 13-year-old girlfriend to friends at parties
for four years was sen-
tenced to prison and regis-
tration as a sex offender
after pleading no contest to
soliciting a minor to com-
mit a felony.
Mario Chamale, 24,
received a three-year prison
term immediately after
changing his plea but has
credit of 1,074 days. Judge
Craig Parson ordered
Chamale to serve the remaining 21 days of his
term in the county jail rather than be moved to
state prison.
Prosecutors say Chamale met the girl in May
2007 when he was 19 and for the next four
years served as both her boyfriend and pimp.
Chamale regularly had intercourse with the girl
when not offering her to his friends at parties,
according to the District Attorneys Ofce.
The girl allegedly told her mother in May
2011 after a violent confrontation with
Chamale. He was originally charged with statu-
tory rape, lewd acts with a minor and pander-
ing.
Chamale had been in custody in lieu of
$200,000 bail.
Man charged with
motel prostitute assault
A Palo Alto man appeared in court Monday
for allegedly punching a prostitute and threat-
ening her with a knife in a South San Francisco
hotel room days before.
Mark Steinkamp, 55,
pleaded not guilty to mis-
demeanor counts of false
imprisonment and exhibit-
ing a deadly weapon. Bail
was set at $10,000 and he
remains in custody.
Steinkamp allegedly met
the woman for a sexual
business arrangement Nov.
29 at the Travelodge on
South Airport Boulevard.
The two reportedly disagreed over payment
and Steinkamp pulled a knife and refused to let
her leave the motel room, South San Francisco
police said.
The victim retaliated by spraying him with
mace and he returned the favor with several
punches before police arrived.
After entering his plea in court, Steinkamp
was also given a Dec. 13 pretrial conference
date followed by a Dec. 31 jury trial.
Two young mountain lions shot
Two young mountain lions were shot and
killed by game wardens in Half Moon Bay on
Saturday afternoon, a California Department of
Fish and Game spokeswoman confirmed
Tuesday.
The mountain lions had taken refuge under
the porch of a home in the 800 block of Correas
Street on Friday, department spokeswoman
Janice Mackey said.
The San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce
responded to the sighting and conrmed the
presence of two adolescent mountain lions
around 10 months old, each weighing between
25 and 30 pounds, Mackey said.
The animals had blank stares and did not
try to hide or run away from the humans, she
said.
When these cats arent trying to scamper
away, that raises a red ag, Mackey said.
They seemed very habituated to humans,
which was unusual.
The cats were in a neighborhood that is adja-
cent to a wildlife corridor leading to the
Burleigh-Murray Ranch State Park.
In an effort to allow the cats a chance to go
back into the wild on their own, game wardens
advised the Sheriffs Ofce to keep people and
pets out of the area for about 24 hours, Mackey
said.
However, when the cats were seen in the
same neighborhood the next day, wardens
responded to the scene and made the decision
to shoot the animals in the name of public safe-
ty.
We care about wildlife, we want to preserve
wildlife but public safety was a priority in
this case, Mackey said.
Attempting to tranquilize the cats with a
poke-stick or dart gun was not an option, given
the close proximity of the animals to a populat-
ed neighborhood.
Animals dont go down right away,
Mackey said. It can take two to three minutes
or not work at all.

WASHINGTON Bluster and
hot rhetoric aside, the White House
and House Republicans have identi-
ed areas of signicant overlap that
could form the basis for a nal
agreement after scal cliff postur-
ing gives way to hard bargaining.
Both sides now concede that tax
revenue and reductions in entitle-
ment spending are essential elements
of any deal. If the talks succeed, it
probably will be because House
Speaker John Boehner yields on rais-
ing tax rates for top earners and the
White House bends on how to reduce
spending on Medicare and accepts
some changes in Social Security.
The White House and Boehner
kept up the ridicule of each others
negotiating stances on Tuesday. But
beneath the
tough words
were the possi-
ble makings of a
deal that could
borrow heavily
from a near-bar-
gain last year
during debt-
limit negotia-
tions.
Then, President Barack Obama
was willing to reduce cost-of-living
increases for Social Security bene-
ciaries and increase the eligibility
age for Medicare, as Boehner and
other top Republicans have
demanded. On Tuesday, Obama did
not shut the door on Republican
ideas on such entitlement programs.
Im prepared to make some
tough decisions on some of these
issues, Obama said, but I cant ask
folks who are, you know, middle
class seniors
who are on
M e d i c a r e ,
young people
who are trying
to get student
loans to go to
college, I cant
ask them to sac-
rifice and not
ask anything of
higher income folks.
Im happy to entertain other
ideas that the Republicans may
present, he added in an interview
with Bloomberg Television.
At the core, the negotiations cen-
ter on three key points: whether tax
rates for upper income taxpayers
should go up, how deeply to cut
spending on entitlements such as
Medicare and how to deal with rais-
ing the governments borrowing
limit early next year.
Behind the rhetoric is makings of a fiscal deal
TAXES:
Obama: Increase taxes by $1.6 trillion over
10 years, raised by permitting tax rates on
individual income exceeding $200,000 and
family income over $250,000 to return to
Clinton-era levels of 36 and 39.6 percent, up
from 33 and 35 percent now. Increase taxes
on dividend income and reduce the value of
deductions and exemptions for those
earning above $200,000 and 250,000.
Renew the 2 percentage point payroll tax
holiday or a similar tax cut for workers.
Return taxes on large estates to 2009 levels.
Permits tax reform to replace the existing
code so long as it maintains the $1.6 trillion
tax hike.
House GOP: Increase taxes by $800 billion
over 10 years, raised through a
comprehensive overhaul of the tax code
that would curb various unspecied tax
breaks while lowering tax rates overall.
Extend all expiring Bush-era tax cuts on
income, investments, married couples and
families with children. Maintains the estate
tax at current, more generous levels
exempting estates up to $5.1 million from
tax and sets a top rate of 35 percent. Permits
payroll tax cut to expire.
Obama 2011: Raise taxes by $1.2 trillion over
10 years through overhauling the tax code
along similar lines advocated by House
Republicans, including lowering each tax
rate by reducing tax breaks and deductions.
HEALTH CARE:
Obama: Cut $350 billion over 10 years from
federal health care programs Medicare and
Medicaid, including lower Medicare drug
costs and other cost curbs on health care
providers.
House GOP: Cut $600 billion over 10 years.
Includes unspecied cuts to health care
providers and assumes an increase in the
eligibility age for Medicare and increased
Medicare costs for higher-income
beneciaries.
Obama 2011: Cut $360 billion over 10 years,
including at least $250 billion from
Medicare, in part through savings from
raising the eligibility age and increased
premiums for doctors visits and the Part D
prescription drug program.
OTHER SPENDING CUTS:
Obama: Cut the decit by $250 billion
through other spending cuts and new fees.
Options include requiring federal workers to
contribute more to their retirement, cut farm
subsidies, increase airline security fees,
overhaul Postal Service operations, and
increasing fees on some enrollees in the
militarys Tricare health care plan. Leaves in
place existing capson agency budgets
passed by Congress each year.
House GOP: Decit cuts of $300 billion
through such cuts and fees from
miscellaneous programs. Cut another $300
billion over the decade from agency
operating budgets.
Obama 2011: Cut $200 billion from such
programs. Several items on the list have
been subsequently used to pay for other
legislation.
GOVERNMENT
INFLATION MEASURE:
Obama: No proposal.
House GOP: Reduce decits by $200 billion
over 10 years by replacing the current
ination adjustment for Social Security and
income tax brackets with a less generous
chained CPIthat, on average, is 0.3
percentage points less than the current
measure. Doing so would reduce Social
Security cost-of-living increases and cause a
greater portion of taxpayer income to be
taxed at higher rates.
Obama 2011: Apply less generous ination
measures to both Social Security and tax
brackets, but boost benets for the oldest
Social Security beneciaries with low
incomes.
NEW SPENDING:
Obama: $200 billion in new economic
stimulusinitiatives, including payroll tax
cuts, continued write-offs of business
equipment purchases, extended
unemployment benets, help for borrowers
under wateron their mortgages, and new
spending on infrastructure.
House GOP: No proposal.
Obama 2011: $43 billion to extend
unemployment benets to the long-term
jobless.
DEBT LIMIT:
Obama: Permit the president to obtain
increases in the governments borrowing
cap, currently set at $16.4 trillion, without
approval by Congress.
House GOP: Retain longstanding
requirement that debt limit increases be
enacted by Congress.
Obama 2011: Immediate unspecied
increase in the debt limit and additional
increase not subject to congressional
approval.

Californias top prosecutor said
Tuesday its up to local police agen-
cies to decide whether to comply
with federal government requests to
hold illegal immigrants.
The statement by state Attorney
General Kamala Harris involves the
federal Secure Communities pro-
gram, which was launched in 2008
to catch the worst criminal offend-
ers.
Governors in New York, Illinois
and Massachusetts previously
announced their desire to pull out of
the program in 2011, and various
municipalities and counties around
the country have withheld coopera-
tion or expressed opposition.
States such as Colorado and
Arizona have supported the program
since its inception.
The Obama administration said in
June 2011 that it would reform the
program to target only the most seri-
ous threats to public safety.
Harris said Tuesday the program
is still awed because nearly one-
third of the people targeted by the
requests in California have never
been convicted of a crime.

CAIRO More than 100,000 Egyptians
protested outside the presidential palace in
Cairo on Tuesday, fueling tensions over
Islamist leader Mohammed Morsis seizure of
nearly unrestricted powers and the adoption
by his allies of a controversial draft constitu-
tion.
The outpouring of anger across the
Egyptian capital, the Mediterranean port of
Alexandria and a string of other cities pointed
to a prolonged standoff between the president
and a newly united opposition.
Morsis opponents, long fractured by bick-
ering and competing egos, have been re-ener-
gized since he announced decrees last month
that place him above oversight of any kind,
including by the courts, and provide immuni-
ty to two key bodies dominated by his allies:
The 100-member panel drafting the constitu-
tion and parliaments upper chamber.
The decrees have led to charges that
Morsis powers turned him into a new
pharaoh.
The large turnout in Tuesdays protests
dubbed The Last Warning by organizers
signaled sustained momentum for the opposi-
tion, which brought out at least 200,000 pro-
testers to Cairos Tahrir Square a week ago
and a comparable number on Friday to
demand that Morsi rescind the decrees.
The huge scale of the protests have dealt a
blow to the legitimacy of the new constitution,
which Morsis opponents contend allows reli-
gious authorities too much inuence over leg-
islation, threatens to restrict freedom of
expression and opens the door to Islamist con-
trol over day-to-day life.
What the revived opposition has yet to
make clear is what it will do next: campaign
for a no vote on the draft constitution in a
nationwide referendum set for Dec. 15, or call
on Egyptians to boycott the vote.
Already, the countrys powerful judges have
said they will not take on their customary role
of overseeing the vote, thus robbing it of
much of its legitimacy.

JERUSALEM Days after winning
upgraded status at the United Nations, the
Palestinians are threatening to join the
worlds first permanent war crimes court
and pursue charges against the Israelis.
Although the Palestinians say that any
decision is still a long ways off, the mere
threat has unnerved Israel. But pressing a
case may not be so simple and could poten-
tially leave the Palestinians themselves vul-
nerable to prosecution.
Since winning recognition as a nonmem-
ber observer state in the United Nations
General Assembly last week, the
Palestinians believe they now qualify for
membership in the International Criminal
Court.

Compassion needed
Editor,
This letter is in reference to the let-
ter by James Clifford in the Dec. 3
edition of the Daily Journal attacking
Margaret Pye over her concern in her
Nov. 29 letter for the death of the 14-
year-old cyclist.
How dare he call her heartless? He
wants compassion for the driver. A car
is a weapon of mass destruction and
needs to be driven accordingly.
When a child is dead as the result of
an adults actions that are wholly in
control of that adult, and that adult
may not even get a traffic ticket, there
is something rotten in our society.
We need to stop worshiping cars and
making excuses for bad driver behav-
ior. We need to stop putting anyone on
a bicycle in the category of other and
wrong and suspect.
Mr. Clifford, a child is dead. Have
some compassion for the family and
friends of the deceased.

Supermajority
state Democrats
Editor,
So the Democrats, having a super-
majority, are willing to go at it alone
in the Assembly and the Senate. They
plan to make it even easier to raise
taxes and make the business environ-
ment even more difficult for the folks
that pay the taxes around here (if need
be, through changes to the
Constitution). Wow! Basically, we got
the government we voted for.
I want them to know that we, the
voters, can vote with our feet too at
any time. Did you know it takes about
15 minutes to set up a company and
get it registered in Nevada? Just go to
their secretary of state website. The
total cost for the process including the
state license is less than $1,000.
Thrown in for good measure, there is
no corporation tax, no state dues or
fees of any kind. A house sets you
back $200K for a four-bed/two-bath
single-family home. Did I mention
there is no state tax in Nevada and that
sales tax is less than 8 percent? You
can drive there in a few hours, and
Lake Tahoe and Reno are just a few
blocks away. Tempting? You bet!

Response to
The next four years
Editor,
Among all the well-deserved
ridicule Dwight L. Schwab Jr. has
earned for his guest perspective, The
next four years in the Nov. 17 edition
of the San Mateo Daily Journal, it is
easy to forget something like his
alleged education.
He claims to have a minor in his-
tory. It must be a very minor degree
since he hasnt even grasped the les-
sons of the most recent history, name-
ly what happened under President
Clinton despite prediction of doom
and gloom, and the country going
down in a handbasket under such a
socialist. Then the God-sanctioned
years under Bush turned out not quite
as well as promised (actually quite
devastating with predictable and pre-
ventable terror attacks on Sept. 11,
2001, unnecessary wars, damaged
international relationships and a
wrecked economy). Then there was
another hell-bent prediction on what
would happen under another social-
ist, especially a black one, heaven
forbid. Instead, President Obama has
been able to partly clean up the unbe-
lievable mess left by his predecessor
Bush, save the auto industry, get job
creation back on track again and get
Osama bin Laden off track.
Oh, I almost forgot: You need a dic-
tionary too, Mr. Schwab Jr., so you
can look up the meaning of words you
use like socialism. Your alleged
BS in journalism is almost too
funny!

Letters to the editor
I
n the lexicon of San Mateo
County politics, Mike Nevins
name rings through as a lion for
the disenfranchised and a known quan-
tity among its government leaders.
His death this weekend brought forth
a memorialization of the man who
spent a large quantity of his later years
immersed in public service. As a 12-
year member of the San Mateo County
Board of Supervisors, Nevins was a
powerful presence whose workmans
language and straight-talking demeanor
carried weight in the county govern-
ment center and throughout the county.
His enthusiasm was often without peer.
Yet his was not merely a manner of
bravado, there was an equivalent intel-
lectual weight behind his silver tongue
and he could recount facts and gures
to back up his philosophy while con-
veying that often his belief was simply,
the right thing to do.
A former police inspector in San
Francisco, where he served for 27
years, Nevin was a law and order guy
who still could think out of the box. It
was his experience with Joni
Commons, assistant director of the
County Health Services Agency, that
led him down the path to creating a
medicinal marijuana trial at the coun-
tys medical center after she told him it
alleviated pain she felt from the treat-
ment of breast cancer. The 2001 trial
was the rst of its kind in the country
and was an example of the bold direc-
tion Nevin would lead when he felt the
issue was important. And among those
issues were housing for the develop-
mentally disabled, shelter for the poor,
privacy rights and health care and trans-
portation for all. The Board of
Supervisors holds the purse strings of
the local social safety net and he took
on that responsibility like a champion.
When he lost the race to replace
Jackie Speier in the state Senate in
2006 to Leland Yee, soon after he took
on the responsibility of leading the
Service League of San Mateo County,
which assists jail inmates while in cus-
tody and with their transition back into
society. It is a job with challenges like
no other. While it might seem ironic
that a former police ofcer would help
the very type of people he once put
behind bars, it was actually a perfect t
for Nevin. Still in the public eye,
though not as prominent, it was a job
with the very denition of service
attached to it. And it was a job he rel-
ished.
In a 2011 Daily Journal story about
the Service Leagues 50th anniversary,
perhaps Nevin himself put it best: I
love politics and public life, he said,
but I get a real personal satisfaction
when I look into the faces of our
clients. But people have to be willing.
Were all victims of ourselves, but
when were able to help someone,
theres tremendous satisfaction in that.
Best job Ive had.

W
hat we need most is to realize how little we real-
ly need.
Some time ago, while walking through the museum at
Coyote Point, I looked up and saw the following: Human
beings must learn again how to adapt themselves to the nat-
ural order of the life sphere or their inventions may carry
them and all other organisms to extinction. It made me
think of two things about the holistic way of thinking that
have always appealed to me. One is that it is very pro life
in that it brings together our
physical, emotional, social
and spiritual aspects in a way
that not only enhances our
own health but that of society
and the planet. Two, it
encourages the questioning of
the status quo and making
choices that are for our best
interest in spite of pressures
to do otherwise.
So how was your Black
Friday and Cyber Monday?
Were you one of those who
couldnt wait to catch some
bargains? Are you again
caught up in the frenzy of materialistic gift giving? Are you
buying and consuming for its own sake without thought to
the long-term effect upon ourselves and our environment?
Or has your consciousness risen enough that you realize
that this is anti-well-being and that happiness does not
emanate from possessions, and fulfillment does not come
from having, but from the rich appreciation of being.
In a country where 5 percent of the worlds population
consumes 30 percent of the worlds energy, we need to
come to grips with the fact that our pattern of consumption
has a lot to do with the kind of future our children and
grandchildren will face. As our technological madness con-
tinues innovation and mass production for its own sake, we
poison our environment with the by-products of manufac-
turing, ever being pressured to buy more. And as our politi-
cians are increasingly being manipulated by greedy corpo-
rate interests, how many of us have stopped to seriously
consider what this is leading to?
Seems we all need to consider what E.F. Schumacher
wrote in 1973 in his book, Small Is Beautiful
Economics as if People Mattered, that is even more appli-
cable today. I quote him at length because it is so relevant.
The cultivation and expansion of needs is the antithesis of
wisdom, he wrote. Its also the antithesis of freedom and
peace. Every increase of needs tends to increase ones
dependence on outside forces over which one cannot have
control, and therefore increases existential fear. Only by a
reduction of needs can one promote a reduction in those
tensions which are the ultimate causes of strife and war ...
Wisdom demands a new orientation of science and technol-
ogy toward the organic, the gentle, the non-violent, the ele-
gant and beautiful.
What is wisdom? Where can it be found? It can be
found only inside oneself. To be able to find it, first one
has to liberate oneself from such matters as greed and envy.
The stillness following liberation even if only momen-
tary produces the insights of wisdom which are obtain-
able in no other way. They enable us to see the hollowness
and fundamental unsatisfactoriness or a life devoted prima-
rily to the pursuit of material ends, to the neglect of the
spiritual. Such a life necessarily sets man against man and
nation against nation because mens needs are infinite and
infinitude can be achieved only in the spiritual realm, never
in the material.
Without wisdom, man is driven to build up a monster
economy which destroys the world and to seek fantastic
satisfactions, like landing a man on the moon. Instead of
overcoming the world by moving toward saintliness, he
tries to overcome it by gaining prominence in wealth,
power, science or indeed any imaginable sport How
could we even begin to disarm greed and envy? Perhaps by
being much less greedy and envious ourselves, perhaps by
resisting the temptation of letting our luxuries become
needs, and perhaps by scrutinizing our needs to see if they
cannot be simplified and reduced.
Here we are, 40 years later, as a culture even more
enmeshed in our lifestyles of over-consumption and greed
while hunger, homelessness and poverty are still rampant.
And we are balanced on the edge of environmental disaster
while we are mindlessly cramming ourselves into the stores
to buy gifts for (ourselves and others) that will be, in most
cases, like bringing the proverbial coal to Newcastle. Are
these choices for our best interest?
Of course it is only proper that people, like all living
things, should strive to make a livable place for themselves
in the world. Who can imagine it otherwise? But the state
of the soul in which we undertake the project THAT is
what makes the difference. Theodore Roszak, Where
the Wasteland Ends.

NEW YORK Stocks closed little
changed Tuesday on Wall Street as budg-
et talks continued in Washington.
The Dow Jones industrial average
closed down 13.82 points at 12,951.78
after trading in a narrow range of just 82
points. The Standard and Poors 500 was
down 2.41 points to 1,407.05. The
Nasdaq composite was down 5.51 at
2,996.69.
Investors are waiting on developments
from Washington in the budget talks,
which are aimed at avoiding the scal
cliff. That refers to a series of sharp
government spending cuts and tax
increases that begin to kick in Jan. 1 and
could eventually cause a recession.
President Barack Obama said Tuesday
that a proposal by House Speaker John
Boehner on Monday was still out of
balance. Obama, in an interview with
Bloomberg Television, insisted on high-
er taxes for wealthy Americans.
Republicans, led by Boehner, have
balked at Obamas proposal of $1.6 tril-
lion in additional taxes over a decade,
and Monday called for increasing the
eligibility age for Medicare and lower-
ing cost-of-living increases for Social
Security benets.
Politicians are doing their negotiating
dance. They both start out on their
extreme positions. The question is how
long until they get into the middle, said
Rex Macey, chief investment ofcer at
Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors
in Atlanta.
Among stocks making big moves,
Darden Restaurants, owner of the Olive
Garden, Red Lobster and LongHorn
Steakhouse restaurant chains, fell $5.02,
or 9.6 percent, to $47.40 after cutting its
prot forecast for scal 2013.
Separately, analysts at Credit Suisse
said that restaurant-goers would quick-
ly lose their appetite if the U.S. went
over the cliff because the job cuts that
would likely follow would curb discre-
tionary spending.
Stock trading will likely become
increasingly more volatile the longer
talks progress without a deal, said JJ
Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist at
TD Ameritrade.
If you looked back a week ago, most
people were under the impression that
wed get this solved fairly quickly,
Kinahan said. There hasnt really been
any positive news, or any positive move-
ment, in the last few days, and with that
it makes people more and more nerv-
ous.

WASHINGTON U.S. banks are
enjoying their best prots in six years
and are lending a bit more freely. The
gradual improvement suggests that the
industry will sustain its healing from the
worst nancial crisis in decades and help
strengthen the economy.
The industry earned $37.6 billion
from July through September a 6.6
percent increase from its earnings in
same quarter last year.
For the first time since 2009, the
stronger earnings were due mainly to
higher revenue rather than to less money
set aside by the banks to cover losses,
data issued by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corp. showed Tuesday. And
loans to consumers rose nearly 1 percent
from the July-September period of 2011.
We are seeing the classic recovery
from a recession, said Bert Ely, a bank-
ing industry consultant based in
Alexandria, Va. All of the arrows are
pointing in the right direction.
Some of the largest banks are caution-
ing, though, that their earnings are up
mostly because theyve sold less-prof-
itable businesses, shed bad loans and
trimmed jobs not because of a more
vibrant economy.
Some banks are testing higher fees on
consumer loans and services to offset
new rules mandated after the crisis that
have crimped revenue.
Consumer lending grew in most cate-
gories in the third quarter. That shows
banks are becoming less cautious, which
could help the economy. More lending
leads to more consumer spending, which
drives roughly 70 percent of economic
activity.
Banks report stronger profits and more lending
Netflix outbids Starz for rights to Disney movies
SAN FRANCISCO Netixs Internet video service has
landed the U.S. rights to show Disney movies shortly after they
leave theaters, a coup that could turn into a costly mistake if the
deal doesnt bring in more customers.
The multiyear licensing agreement announced Tuesday rep-
resents a breakthrough for Netix as it tries to secure more
exclusive programming for a popular service that streams video
over high-speed Internet connections. The approach is making
Netix more like traditional pay-TV channels such as HBO,
Starz and Showtime.
Financial terms werent disclosed, but analysts estimate that
Netix will pay Disney more than $350 million annually.
Thats a hefty bill that will require Netix to accelerate its sub-
scriber growth or consider raising its prices something that
management has vowed not to do after rankling customers with
rate hikes last year.
Pandora outlook for loss sparks sell-off
OAKLAND Internet radio company Pandora Media Inc.
said Tuesday that its third-quarter net prot more than tripled to
$2 million as revenue rose slightly faster than costs. But it pre-
dicted a loss in the fourth quarter, a bad surprise for investors
who sent shares tumbling.
CEO Joe Kennedy said in an interview that worries about the
federal tax increases and government spending cuts set to take
effect Jan. 1 unless Congress acts the so-called scal
cliff are affecting the advertising revenue outlook. That is
especially true for January, when any tax increases could take
effect. Pandoras fourth quarter ends at the end of January.
Mayor: L.A. port strike to go to federal mediation
LOS ANGELES As cargo ships idled in the harbor or
headed elsewhere, negotiators prepared Tuesday to return to the
bargaining table with a federal mediator to try to end a costly,
eight-day strike that has all but shut down the nations busiest
port complex.
About 44 percent of all cargo arriving in the U.S. by sea pass-
es through the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach,
accounting for an estimated $1 billion a day in merchandise.

Lions tourney to answer early questions
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The 36th version of the Lions Club
Basketball Tournament, hosted by
Burlingame High School beginning today,
will have a distinct feel in 2012.
For the rst time in quite some time, the
Panthers will be without Jeff Dowd, the coach
who led them on this current run of four
straight championships.
Enter long time Peninsula Athletic League
and Capuchino High School head coach Pete
Harames, who last coached a varsity program
in 2000. Hell front the charge and will try to
make it 12 Lions Club championships for the
Panthers.
Wed like to make the championship
game, Harames said. Thats the expectation.
I think the kids do [have a lot of pride]. You
can see it. Its important to them.
The Lions Club tournament has always
served as a great rst-look for San Mateo
county basketball fans and this year will not
be an exception. Along with the Panthers,
Aragon, Menlo-Atherton, San Mateo and
Terra Nova will represent the PAL. Sacred
Heart Prep, the runner-up in 2011, returns to
the Lions tournament as well.
Los Altos High School and Valley Christian
round out the eight-team eld.
Being a local tournament and one that has
been established for over 30 years, its just a
chance for people who dont get a chance to
see Sacred Heart play very much, its a chance
for everyone to see them and see what we
have down here, said SHP head coach Tony
Martinelli. Being able to bring them down to
the Peninsula and play against good competi-
tion, its a well-run tournament, its just a fun
tournament for our kids to play in.

The Carlmont boys soccer team will not
roll into the Peninsula Athletic League play
with a record padded with a bunch of easy
wins. Coach Jodi Beloff realizes if she wants
her team ready for the rigors of the league
season and beyond, she had to test her team
during preseason.
The Scots faced their biggest test of the
young season Tuesday when they hosted
Central Coast Section power St. Francis.
Despite taking a 1-0 lead just 10 minutes into
the match, Carlmont could not hold on as St.
Francis scored twice during a 10-minute span
to record a 2-1 win over the Scots.
I thought we nished
the game strong and start-
ed the game strong,
Beloff said. We slacked
off for 15, 20 minutes in
the rst half.
St. Francis (2-0 overall)
displayed all the charac-
teristics of a West
Catholic Athletic League team. The Lancers
were big, strong, fast, physical and pressured
the ball at every turn. They wasted little time
in transitioning from defense to offense and
forced the Scots to play the ball quickly.
Carlmont (2-1) weathered the St. Francis
storm in the opening minutes before turning
the tables on the Lancers just 10 minutes in.
The Scots locked the Lancers into their defen-
sive end for several minutes and that pressure
led to the rst goal of the game. Justin Harper
received a pass at the top of the St. Francis
penalty box with his back to the goal. Instead
of trying to turn and run at goal, he dropped a

There isnt too much one can take away
from a seasons rst 80 minutes of soccer.
And that is especially the case when you enter
Game 1 with 40 percent of your starting eld
players on the bench nursing some sort of
injury.
So, if youre the Burlingame girls soccer
team the 2-0 loss to Valley Christian stings.
But there is a bigger picture and thats the one
head coach Philip DeRosa is hoping his play-
ers focus on.
I was disappointed for them because they
played hard, DeRosa said. And unfortunate-
ly, the result wasnt there for them. That said,
whats important is that they learn from the
game. And we build on that.
Like I told the girls, aside from the result,
this is good. Thats a very good team that we
played and I purposely scheduled this team so
the girls would see that competition. Clearly,
their goals were the result of a couple of mis-
takes we made so it wasnt like they were
overwhelmed.
DeRosa called it a season-opening puzzle
hes trying to put together on the y. As such,
if theres one thing the very young Panthers,
who only boast one active senior on the roster,
learned from Tuesdays loss is that good
teams will pounce on mistakes and make you
pay dearly.
The latter part of both halves belonged to
Valley Christian. While Burlingame got a
couple of great looks early, most notably a
shot by Sabrina Parness that required a great
Valley save, the Warriors piled on the pressure
in the latter parts of each halves.
And they got goals to show for it.

SANTA CLARA As punter Andy
Lee and long snapper Brian Jennings
playfully practiced their golf swings in
the San Francisco 49ers locker room
Tuesday, the usually delightful David
Akers had no time for laughs while get-
ting dressed for his next meeting.
The kicker certainly hasnt been him-
self lately.
After missing a winning eld goal in
overtime in two of the last four games,
Akers and his fellow 49ers (8-3-1) spe-
cial teamers are as perplexed as anybody
about what has gone wrong. The six-
time Pro Bowl kicker is 21 for 30 on
eld goals this season.
David really brings a passion and
emotion to our unit, Jennings said.
Thats one of the contributing factors
as to why hes been so great throughout
his career, and then also why if things
dont go the way wed like them to, it
can be particularly hard on him.
Just a year ago, Akers set an NFL sin-
gle-season record with 44 eld goals.
He missed only eight kicks and none
of them of such magnitude.
The success of last season has made
this years shortcomings maddening.
Akers missed a 51-yard attempt with
4:11 remaining in overtime of San
Franciscos 16-13 loss at St. Louis on
Sunday. The kick sailed wide right by
mere inches and came only two weeks
after he missed left on a 41-yard try
also in overtime against the Rams before
the game ended in a 24-24 tie.
Akers has made only 15 of his last 24
attempts, but he has tried to focus on his
technique, not his misses. And while he
watches lm of most kicks, he hasnt
been able to pinpoint what has gone
wrong or at least hes not saying as
much publicly.
I have no idea, Akers said. Ive
done it for a lot of years. Lot Ive gone
through. Some Ive missed. I dont real-
ly contemplate on those issues. If Ive
noticed something, I probably would
have made a correction.
Akers was listed on last weeks injury
report with a pelvis issue, though he
looked ne during practice from as far
as 50 yards. Niners coach Jim Harbaugh
expects Akers to play at home against
the Dolphins on Sunday, which just so
happens to be the kickers 38th birthday.
Harbaugh had brought in Billy
Cundiff and Nate Kaeding for tryouts
last week but said he isnt concerned
about Akers psyche.
David, as far as mindset, hes a pro-
fessional, Harbaugh said. Hes been in
every situation imaginable. He takes
responsibility and knows its his job to
put it through the uprights. As far as his
mindset, its as a pro.
Akers struggles have come about in
swift and stunning fashion.
Aside from his 44 made eld goals
last season, Akers also set a record for
most attempted (52) and most points
without a touchdown (166). That
eclipsed the 49ers previous best for
overall points set by Hall of Fame
receiver Jerry Rice, who scored 138
points in 1987.
In San Franciscos season-opening
win at Green Bay, Akers even tied an
NFL record with a 63-yard eld goal
that bounced off the crossbar and
through the uprights. Akers mouth
dropped open and his eyes popped wide
as he threw his arms into the air in cele-
bration and disbelief.
His teammates mobbed him after the
record-tying kick, and Akers has
excelled so much he has become one of
the teams leaders. Some teammates are
still surprised Philadelphia let him go in
2011 after 12 seasons. He holds Eagles
franchise record for points, eld goals,
extra points, games played in the regular
season and in the playoffs.
The success Akers has enjoyed for
most of his career has made his recent
decline even more difcult to watch for
teammates, especially Jennings and Lee
part of a tight trio with Akers in the
locker room.
Last year, I would say, was one of
my greatest years as a player, said
Jennings, whos in his 13th season with
the 49ers. Now I would say with some
of our performances this year, this has
been one of the more frustrating years of
my career. I think we all share that. I
think we all go through it.
San Francisco is still counting on
Akers to regain his rhythm.
The NFC West-leading 49ers are try-
ing to hold off Seattle (7-5) to win a sec-
ond straight division crown and perhaps
even another first-round playoff bye
should they nish in the top two in the
conference. After all, theres a good
chance any success might not be
reached without Akers powerful left
leg, which is always magnied in such
massive moments especially when
things dont turn out well.
Theres no uglier football than bad
special teams. Its the height of ugly
football, Jennings said. We have the
ability to be the best in the league, and
the frustration comes from not being in
that position. So until were re-estab-
lished as the best special teams unit in
the league, theres going to be some
struggles and some frustration.
49ersAkers trying to fix FG woes
ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders running game, which
struggled so much the rst half of the season when Darren
McFadden was healthy, showed signs of life in recent weeks
after the star back sprained his right ankle.
With McFadden poised to come back this week, the Raiders
are excited to see what he will be able to do now that the
offensive line is adjusting to the new zone blocking scheme.
McFadden missed the last four games
with the injured ankle, including last
week when he practiced but was unable
to play in a loss to Cleveland. But run-
ning backs coach Kelly Skipper said he is
seeing much more burst from McFadden
in practice this week and is optimistic
hell be able to play Thursday night for
the Raiders (3-9) against the Denver
Broncos (9-3).
Were very excited, quarterback
Carson Palmer said. I cant wait to
watch him. We were kind of working
through a lot of things when he was healthy in the new
scheme and a lot of guys doing a lot of different things that
they havent done in their careers. But now with as many
games as we have underneath our belt up front, getting him
back will be a big bonus for us.
McFadden averaged just 3.3 yards per carry before sprain-
ing his right ankle early in the eighth game against Tampa
Bay. McFadden had averaged more than 5 yards per carry
over the previous two seasons, but struggled to adjust to the
teams new zone blocking system.
He had two 100-yard games before the injury and averaged
4 yards a carry in just one game this season. He also had only
three runs that went for at least 20 yards in 139 carries after
being one of the leagues top big-play backs the past two
years.
With converted fullback Marcel Reece and undrafted free
agent Jeremy Stewart sharing the load the last four weeks, the
Raiders (3-9) averaged 4.2 yards per carry as the blocking up
front started to click.
Weve improved so much, and now he gets to step in and
be able to see the holes and see the improvement weve done,
Skipper said. Hes been watching lm, hes been studying a
lot, so hes been seeing it, There it is, OK. Good. So I think
it will help him a lot. Hell be right on point.
While the running game has improved, the Raiders have
struggled as a whole without McFadden, losing the past ve
games to get knocked out of playoff contention with a quarter
of the season left.
McFadden has missed 23 games in ve NFL seasons with a
variety of injuries. He said sitting out is difcult and that he
just tried to keep a positive mindset during the teams skid.
He did like seeing the improved run game with bigger holes
to run through than he had when he was healthy.
Its one thing Im looking forward to, is to get out there
and try to get into some of them, he said.
The Raiders also hope to get backup running back Mike
Goodson back this week as well. Goodson sprained his right
ankle later in the same game that McFadden got hurt in and
has been out ever since.
He also practiced last week but did not play against the
Browns. He is also expected to be back Thursday.
Getting Goody back is great, too, because thats another
change-up for us, Palmer said.

Belcher told cops
he was waiting for girlfriend
KANSAS CITY Kansas City
Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher told
ofcers who found him sleeping in his
car outside an apartment complex hours
before he committed a murder-suicide
that he was there to visit a woman he
described as his girlfriend, but that she
wasnt home.
The apartment complex is about 10
miles from the Kansas City home
Belcher shared with 22-year-old
Kasandra Perkins, the mother of their 3-
month-old daughter Zoey. Belcher shot
Perkins at their home Saturday morning
before driving to Arrowhead Stadium,
where he committed suicide in the prac-
tice facilitys parking lot, police said.
Police responded to a report about
2:50 a.m. Saturday of a man sleeping in
his car outside an apartment building,
police spokesman Darin Snapp said
Tuesday.
When police approached the car,
Belcher got out of the vehicle and was
cooperative, Snapp said.
We ask him Why are you sleeping
here?, and he says hes there to visit his
girlfriend, but shes not home, Snapp
said.
When police determined Belcher did-
nt have any outstanding warrants,
Snapp said Belcher, 25, made a phone
call and a short time later, a woman let
Belcher into her building. Police did not
question the woman and dont know
who she is, he said.
When he was sleeping she may have
come home, and he didnt realize,
Snapp said. He was very cooperative
and thanked the ofcers.
Snapp said that was the last contact
police had with Belcher until his name
came up with the shooting at his home.

Hillsdales Chris Arshad, right, creates just enough space to hold off Sacred Heart Cathedrals
Liam ORielly to get this shot off during the Knights 68-55 loss to the Irish.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Hillsdale boys basketball team must
have raised their collective eyebrows when the
Knights saw who was on the schedule
Tuesday night: defending Central Coast
Section champion Sacred Heart Cathedral.
While the Irish lost some talent from last
years squad, they are still one of the best
teams in the section.
Instead of worrying about how they would
match up, the Knights just went out and
played. And although they came up short, 68-
55, they did enough good things to have coach
Brett Stevenson optimistic about the season.
Thats the third time weve played (during
the last three preseasons). Last year, [we lost
by] 50, Stevenson said. But Im not into
moral victories.
Nor should he be because Hillsdale (2-2
overall) had a legitimate shot to win the game.
Trailing by 15 heading into the fourth quarter,
the Knights were close to being blown out as
Sacred Heart Cathedral pushed its lead to 19,
56-37, with 6:16 to play.
Instead of just folding their tents and play-
ing out the nal minutes, the Knights went to
work whittling away the deficit. Angelo
Bautista, who nished with a game-high 23
points, knocked down a shot and was followed
by a Stevie Hasegawa 3-pointer. Following a
basket from the Irish, Bautista hit one of his
game-high ve 3s, Tushar Raghuram hit a 3 of
his own and a pair of Chris Arshad free throws
cut the Irishs lead to just eight, 58-50, with
just under two minutes.
It would be as close as the Knights would
get, however, as the Irish nished the game
with a 9-5 run.
In addition to Bautistas 23, Hasegawa
added 15. While he is often the smallest play-
er on the court, Hasegawa runs the point like
someone a foot taller as he showed no fear in
attacking the SHC defense, nishing 5 for 5
from the free throw line. He also did a good
job distributing the ball and had little trouble
in bringing the ball up against the Irish press.
He forced the action in a positive way,
Stevenson said of Hasegawa. He became a
playmaker.
While the Knights put up a good ght, they
just did not have the depth or athleticism to
keep up with the Irish. Hillsdale had just four
players in the scoring column. Contrast that to
SHC, which had nine players score.
The difference in the game came in the third
quarter, as the Irishs half-court trap forced
Hillsdale into some turnovers and resulted in
easy points the other way as SHC outscored
the Knights 17-8 after Hillsdale trailed by just
six at halftime.
Theyre an athletic team and they want to
get out and run, Stevenson. They had to
change tempo. They want to get up and
down the court.
Those eight minutes in the third quarter was
enough to give SHC the win. But after the rst
two quarters, it was either teams game to win.
Hillsdale got on the scoreboard rst on a nice
bucket from forward Chris Arshad, but the
Irish responded with a 6-0 run. Bautista hit a
layup off of a drive through the paint and fol-
lowed that with a 3 to cut SHCs lead to 8-7.
If not for the play of the Bautista in the rst
quarter, the game might have been much dif-
ferent. Bautista scored 11 of the Knights 13
rst-quarter points, hitting three 3s in the
process.
He has worked his tail off in the offsea-
son, Stevenson said.
Bautista continued his hot streak in the sec-
ond quarter as he scored 15 straight points for
the Knights, bridging the rst and second
quarters.
But he was all the scoring the Knights were
getting. The Irish, meanwhile, were steadily
pulling away, pushing their lead to 27-15 with
4:47 left in the half. With SHC leading 31-17,
the Knights ended the half with a 10-2 run and
trailed just 33-27 at halftime.
We want to play the best and Cathedral is
one of the best, Stevenson said.
Hillsdale plays well

SAN FRANCISCO Second
baseman Marco Scutaro is staying
in San Francisco after agreeing to a
$20 million, three-year contract
with the Giants late Tuesday.
Vice president of baseball opera-
tions Bobby Evans said the sides
had agreed to a deal, pending a
physical.
Earlier in the evening, Scutaro
had been weighing a two-year con-
tract offer that included a vesting
option but he was seeking a
three-year deal
to remain with
the World Series
champions. The
Giants and
Scutaros repre-
sentatives met
Tuesday at the
winter meetings
in Nashville,
Tenn.
In other
moves, the Giants exercised 2014
contract options on manager Bruce
Bochy and GM Brian Sabean.
The 37-year-old Scutaro, the NL
championship series MVP, batted
.362 with three homers and 44 RBIs
in 61 games with the Giants after he
was acquired in a July 27 trade with
Colorado.
The Giants suddenly have quite a
familiar roster returning after mak-
ing two big moves in as many days
to keep their own free agents. On
Monday, center elder Angel Pagan
agreed to a $40 million, four-year
contract.
Left-handed reliever Jeremy
Affeldt received an $18 million,
three-year contract on Nov. 14.
Retaining Affeldt, Pagan and
Scutaro were among the top priori-
ties for Sabean and Evans this off-
season.
The 31-year-old Pagan batted
.288 with eight home runs, 56 RBIs
and a San Francisco-best 15 triples
in his rst season with the Giants.
Pagan said late in the season and
again after the World Series parade
that he hoped to return, but wanted
to test free agency and sought some
job security in the form of a multi-
year deal.
On Friday, Sabean said the club
had made backup plans to move for-
ward without Pagan or Scutaro in
case neither decided to re-sign
but progress with Pagan apparently
happened during the weekend after
Sabean said, We dont have a deal,
so that tells you were not close.
San Francisco declined Friday to
tender a contract to closer Brian
Wilson, the 2010 majors saves
leader with 48. The right-hander is
working his way back from a sec-
ond Tommy John surgery on his
pitching elbow.
Giants, Scutaro agree to $20 million, 3-year deal
Marco Scutaro
Tim Tebow has been out with two
broken ribs and maybe a bruised
ego.
The read-option lives, however, in
Washington, Carolina and San
Francisco, where NFL coaches are
dusting off the old college forma-
tions to capitalize on the skills of
quarterbacks such as Robert Grifn
III, Cam Newton and Colin
Kaepernick.
Nobodys going all-in like the
Denver Broncos did last year when
it became apparent that Tebow, with
his messy mechanics, wasnt going
to win as a pocket passer. Instead,
teams are sprinkling in the read-
option offense to confuse defenses
and create running and passing
lanes alike, and that makes their tra-
ditional play calls all the more
effective.
Coaches say its not a fad, either.
This time, its here to stay.
The Redskins creativity was on
display Monday night in their 17-16
win over the New York Giants as
RGIII repeatedly put the ball in run-
ning back Alfred Morris belly and
either let go or pulled it back to run
it himself or even pull up and hit
wide-open receivers darting through
broken coverages.
That led to both crowing and
cringing by ESPN analyst Steve
Young, who entered the league as an
eager scrambler and left as a pocket
passer with a championship and a
ticket to the Hall of Fame.
Young said RGIII will eventually
have to morph into more of a proto-
typical passer to prolong his career
and reach his enormous potential,
but Young nonetheless marveled at
watching NFL defenses truly inde-
cisive.
Its fun to see something new
that really is putting people in a
jam, Young said.
Grifn ran for 72 yards to get to
714 for the season, passing Newton
for most by a rookie quarterback.
He threw the go-ahead 8-yard
touchdown pass to Pierre Garcon in
the fourth quarter on a read-option
play.
The Redskins, Panthers and 49ers
have the quarterbacks to use heavier
doses of the read-option out of the
shotgun formation, where the run-
ning back is parallel to the quarter-
back, or in the pistol, where the run-
ning back lines up behind the quar-
terback.
People say you cant run the
option in the NFL, but were prov-
ing you can, said Grifn, who even
ran a triple option Monday night.
Its not something thats our bread
and butter, but you can sprinkle it in
now and then.
Therein lies the dilemma for
defenses: the threat of the option
reduces their preparation for the tra-
ditional plays that make up the bulk
of their opponents offensive game
plan.
Teams have to prepare for it,
Grifn said. They spend however
(much) amount of time preparing
for it and how to stop it, and thats
what helps us open up the rest of our
playbook outside of it.
Coaches take a certain pride in
shutting down what they call col-
lege stuff. They take pride in that. It
doesnt bother me. We can run it
two times a game. We can run it 15
times a game.
As with anything else thats good,
moderation is the key.
The Panthers have dialed down
their use of the option to simplify
things for Newton, and the 49ers are
giving opponents a new wrinkle to
prepare for by using some pistol for-
mations like the ones Kaepernick
ran at the University of Nevada.
Read option is back in NFL and better than ever

LA QUINTA Rory McIlroy
sure didnt feel like the PGA Tour
player of the year when he arrived at
Kiawah Island for the nal major of
the year. He had missed three cuts,
had not contended in a major and
had only one win.
The last two months changed
everything.
McIlroy was announced Tuesday
as player of the
year, and while
the tour does not
disclose the vote
of its players,
this was the
equivalent of a
tap-in. McIlroy
wound up with
four wins,
including his
eight-shot victory in the PGA
Championship, and made a clean
sweep of the biggest awards by win-
ning the money title and having the
lowest adjusted scoring average.
Its just a great way to end what
has been a great year, my best sea-
son so far, McIlroy said.
The 23-year-old from Northern
Ireland became the youngest player
to win PGA Tour player of the year
since Tiger Woods at age 21 in 1997.
He also was the third European to
win in the last ve years, joining
Padraig Harrington on Ireland in
2008 and Luke Donald of England
last year.
John Huh, who earned his card
through Q-school, was voted PGA
Tour rookie of the year in another
race that was easy to predict. Huh
won an opposite-field event in
Mexico, but perhaps his greater
achievement was becoming the only
rookie to make it to the Tour
Championship.
McIlroy voted PGA

Red Sox rev up with Victorino;
Nationals and Dan Haren close
NASHVILLE, Tenn The Boston Red
Sox kept the cash freely owing, this time
revving their lineup with Shane Victorino,
while the well-armed Washington Nationals
neared a deal with Dan Haren at baseballs
winter meetings Tuesday.
In the rst two trades of the week, Colorado
got effective reliever Wilton Lopez and a
player to be named from Houston for young
right-handers Alex White and Alex
Gillingham, and Miami sent recently acquired
shortstop Yunel Escobar to Tampa Bay.
Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey of the
New York Mets is still the prime trade target,
with Boston in the mix for him, too.
Josh Hamilton remains the top free agent
amid speculation the slugger will re-sign with
Texas. Ace pitcher Zack Greinke also is avail-
able, with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the
Rangers very interested.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said hes
been involved in the pursuit of one free agent.
He didnt disclose who it was, but seemed to
be enjoying this weeks developments.
Its like a smorgasbord of baseball. Its
been good, Mattingly said.
Boston has been the busiest team this off-
season, by far. A day after giving All-Star bat
Mike Napoli a $39 million, three-year deal,
the Red Sox lured Victorino with the exact
same contract terms.
Cant wait to get to Boston! Victorino
tweeted during a day of snorkeling in Hawaii.
The Red Sox are coming off their worst sea-
son since 1965 and trying to reshape the ros-
ter. The 32-year-old Victorino is a two-time
All-Star and three-time Gold Glove winner
who stole a career-high 39 bases for
Philadelphia and the Dodgers last season.
Recently, the Red Sox added Jonny Gomes
and David Ross.
I think were making the progress that
weve hoped, at least in the early going, with
adding those types of players, new manager
John Farrell said before the Victorino deal.
Victorinos arrival could also lead to a trade
of center elder Jacoby Ellsbury, coming off a
down, injury-interrupted season.
The Nationals and Haren are close to com-
pleting a one-year deal for $13 million, a per-
son familiar with the talks told the Associated
Press.

half and twice hitting iron on shots from out-
side the box, the Warriors capitalized on a
lazy clearance by the Burlingame defense.
The ball wound up on the right foot of Sara
VanWagoner all alone from 15 yards out and
the midelder nished with class in the 35th
minute to put the Warriors up 1-0.
Come the second half, the Panthers and
Parness once again got the best early look at
goal as No. 10s volley whistled just wide of
the Valley Christian net.
But a great wide run by the Warriors and
subsequent cross gave the Burlingame
defense ts and the tussle in the box caused
enough confusion to give Nicole Carson a
poke at the ball that turned into the 2-0 nal.
Clearly, they had their opportunities,
DeRosa said of his Panthers. They also did
that in the scrimmage we had against St.
Ignatius. These are two WCAL teams, so
from that standpoint, it bodes well. They just
need to build, they need to learn from each of
these contests. Learn from their mistakes. Go
home and think about how you played indi-
vidually. And then when it comes time to
come to practice tomorrow, thats what we
need to work on. And we will be working
tomorrow.
As mentioned, Burlingame is hurting and
that was the case last year, too. DeRosa said
hes hoping reinforcements arrive come
January and to be fully healthy by the start of
Peninsula Athletic League play.
Its going to be a difcult preseason, he
said. Its a tough pill. But by the same token,
we all face that so theres no excuse there. The
girls just have to learn how to play together.
performance in the tournament set the founda-
tion for what turned out to be another CCS-
championship season for them their third
straight. SHP starts its 2012 Lions Club
schedule against Menlo-Atherton at 8 p.m.
We have a lot of experience returning and
some of those guys played a lot last year,
some of them didnt, Martinelli said. And
having those guys come back, its just impor-
tant to see what theyre carrying over from
last years experience. We had a lot of success
last year and this is a different year. We just
got beat up against Serra, we didnt do many
things well, so its a chance to for us to play
three games in a row and see what we learned
from the last game and take a better mentality
into this game.
The Gators get a bit of reinforcement with
the addition of point guard Kevin Donahoe,
who started practicing last Monday after lead-
ing the football team to the programs second
CCS title. Derek Hunter will also take off his
shoulder pads and puts on basketball shorts
although Martinelli expects him back a little
later.
As far as understanding the offense and
what I expect from the position, he doesnt
miss a beat there, Martinelli said of
Donahoe. Obviously, his legs are the next
part that will get in shape might take him
a week or two but he doesnt need much
time.
Terra Nova starts off the tournament against
an intriguing team in Aragon.
The only team in the tournament that Ive
seen is Aragon and they are very, very good,
said Terra Nova head coach Kenny Milch.
They were very good last year and they
return pretty much everyone. So, at this point,
Id have to say they are the favorites.
Its much easier to gauge where youre at
when you play in a game that counts, Milch
said. And you can really tell when you play
a good team like Aragon. So, I think well
have a little bit of perspective after
[Wednesdays] game. Its just so hard to tell.
We have some decent guards. We would have
to play a nearly awless game in order to beat
them.
The start of the Lions Club Tournament
should also answer a lot of early questions
about the 2012-2013 Panthers mainly,
how will the program adjust to the absence of
its long-time coach?
Harames is not foreign to the Burlingame
program. Hes coached the frosh/soph team
last season and knows very well about how
serious the Panthers take their home tourna-
ment. To smooth over the transition,
Burlingame can take solace in eight returners
including Nick Loew and Connor Haupt. But
for the time being, injuries will keep players
like Chris Graham and Robbie Baumgarten
off the court.
Well be a good defensive team, Harames
said. Im different, in terms of subtleties.
Well plant a few new wrinkles experiment-
ing.
Burlingame starts its run at a fth straight
tournament title at 6:30 p.m. San Mateo takes
on Valley Christian at 3:30 p.m. The last team
other than the Panthers to win the tournament
was Menlo School in 2007. The tournaments
championship match is scheduled for Dec. 7
at p.m.
We like going up to Burlingame, Milch
said. Its always a competitive tournament.
Theres always good teams and a challenge
there.
pass off to Claudio Cortez, who took a couple
of touches before unleashing a shot that beat
the Lancers goalkeeper to his right for a 1-0
Carlmont lead.
From there, however, St. Francis took con-
trol of the mideld and showed the Scots
exactly what hard work can do. Five minutes
after falling behind, the Lancers knotted the
score at 1. Carlmont failed to adequately clear
a ball out of its defensive half and Dhruv Patel
beat his defender to the ball and quickly
chipped tha ball over the defense to a charging
Kenny Kobetsky, who chipped a shot over the
Carlmont goalkeeper for the equalizer.
Ten minutes later, the Lancers had the lead,
again because they wanted it more.
Again, the lack of a clearance by the
Carlmont defense translated to a St. Francis
goal. This time, Kobetsky pounced on a loose
ball deep in the Carlmont end and tucked a
25-yard shot just inside the far left post.
It was no coincidence the Scots mideld
woes were directly related to Luke Petersen.
When he was on the eld, the Scots were a
different team. Without him, they struggled
with possession and linking passes together.
Beloff said she sat him for a bulk of the rst
half because she believed he was taking a
beating without much help from the referee.
He played the entire second half, however,
and he helped the Scots play the Lancers to a
stand still.
Creativity, vision, hustle, were all things
Beloff said Petersen brought to the table.
Obviously this early in the season, all
coaches are still evaluating their players: who
they work well with and who has what skill
set. Beloff said there are two youth soccer
programs that feed into Carlmont and a bulk
of her team is comprised of members from
those two feeder programs. The task for her is
to get these two groups to mesh. If the Scots
can develop that chemistry, Beloff believes
her team is ready for a special year.
We have a lot of depth. Its hard (to nd a
rotation). I have talent on the bench, Beloff
said. The team itself is very strong and I
think well be a team to contend with in
league.

FOOD 17
By Sara Moulton
Back during my days at Gourmet
magazine, my many duties included
teaching cooking classes. I used to
tell my students especially the
cooking-impaired ones that if they
made sure to greet dinner party guests
with a special homemade drink, they
would always win, no matter what
else happened that evening.
Let them buy take-out food,
rearrange it artfully on platters, then
claim it as their own. Nobody would
think twice as long as they were
handed a special drink on their way in
the door. Festive drinks scream,
Party!
The holiday season boasts any
number of festive libations. My
favorite is eggnog. After all, if youre
trying to crystallize holiday excess in
liquid form, how better than to com-
bine sweet cream with strong rum or
brandy
But what if just this once you
dont want to overdo it? How do you
cut down the fat and calories in
eggnog without losing the drinks sig-
nature richness? More precisely, is
there a way to keep it creamy without
cream? I tried making eggnog using
nonfat milk, both regular and con-
densed. I even tried thickening the
mixture with cornstarch. My daugh-
ter Ruthie, a connoisseur of cocktails,
rejected both of these strategies.
Non-fat milk made the drink too
watery. Cornstarch successfully
thickened the drink, but in a way that
reminded my expert of a loose pud-
ding, not eggnog.
Ruthie suggested losing the non-fat
milk in favor of 2 percent milk, which
is still much lighter than cream. That
did the trick. Then I added Chai
spices, which contributed their own
luxurious and exotic notes that work
so nicely with the more traditional
nutmeg.
My second concoction, Christmas
sangria, required much less experi-
mentation, if only because traditional
sangria a mix of wine and fruit
is a fairly healthy punch to begin
with. Essentially, all I did was swap
out the drinks usual summertime
fruits for their wintertime counter-
parts pomegranates, clementines
and apples, along with some fresh
fruit juice.
Reformatted in this fashion, a
warm weather stalwart suddenly
looks and tastes just right for the hol-
idays.
CHAI EGGNOG
Start to nish: 2 hours 35 minutes
(20 minutes active)
Servings: 4
2 cups 2 percent milk, divided
3 1/2-inch stick cinnamon,
smashed using the side of a knife
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
10 whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon whole black pepper-
corns, coarsely crushed
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Some light libations to
set the holiday mood
By Michelle Locke
What you want: A festive bar that
will add panache to your next holi-
day party. What you dont want:
Having to spend oodles of cash on a
confusing array of bottles youre not
sure how to use.
The solution? Pick booze that
like the best kind of guest is ex-
ible, able to take on different roles
as party dynamics dictate.
So we asked three bartenders to
come up with one liquor and three
ways to serve it and got the follow-
ing suggestions.
VERSATILE VODKA
At Bistro Boudin in San
Franciscos historic Fishermans
Wharf, bartender Nicholas
Reynders goes for the classic clear
spirit, vodka.
Hed rst serve it as a blueberry-
tini, mixing a shot of vodka with 1/2
ounce of simple syrup (equal parts
sugar and water heated until the
sugar is melted, then cooled) and 12
fresh blueberries. Combine all with
ice in a shaker, then shake, strain
and serve in a martini glass.
For a second treatment he starts
by muddling a bit of cantaloupe in a
shaker. (Muddling is a bartenders
term for mushing fruit, veggies or
herbs in the bottom of a glass or
shaker. You can do this with a spe-
cial tool called, logically, a muddler,
or just use a wooden spoon.) Add 1
1/2 ounces vodka plus an equal
amount of simple syrup, shake with
ice, strain and serve over ice with a
splash of soda water.
For the simplest treatment, he rec-
ommends a shot of vodka, an equal
amount simple syrup, and a squeeze
of lime and lemon juice all shaken
over ice and strained into a martini
glass.
A cocktail party doesnt have to
be elaborate, says Reynders. Shaker,
jigger, mixing glass and youre
halfway there. A little extra shake
doesnt hurt for the perfect chilled
martini.
MEZCAL MIXOLOGY
Sombra Mezcal founder Richard
Betts recommends this smoky spirit
for holiday get-togethers because it
mixes well in drinks from margari-
tas to Manhattans. It can be great
neat and, if its that kind of party, its
a great shot, too.
Plus it ts into his party philoso-
phy. Have a point of view. You can-
not be everything to everyone, so
pick something and geek out on it.
Mezcal is a great example because
youre exploring the REAL agave
spirit of Mexico and this is cool.

tilled spirit made from the maguey

plant, a type of agave. When the spirit is
made from the blue agave and comes
from certain designated areas, its tequi-
la. So while all tequila is mezcal, not all
mezcal is tequila. In the past, mezcal
outside Mexico has often been of poor
quality and contained a worm in the bot-
tle, a marketing gimmick dreamed up in
the 1940s. These days, theres quality
mezcal to be found.
For his triple-play approach, Betts
suggests making a batch of a modied
version of the saints eye cocktail on the
Sombra website devised by Jim Meehan,
author of The PDT Cocktail Book: The
Complete Bartenders Guide from the
Celebrated Speakeasy 2 ounces
mezcal, 3/4 ounce lime juice, 3/4 ounce
pineapple juice, 1 bar spoon of agave
nectar and a sprig of tarragon to garnish.
As a counterpunch to that citrusy con-
coction hed mix up a mezcal Manhattan
with 2 1/2 ounces mezcal, 3/4 ounce
sweet vermouth, a dash of Angostura
bitters, 1 maraschino cherry and an
orange peel garnish.
And, nally, hed serve mezcal neat.
It is the best way for people to really
appreciate how special it is.
BLENDABLE BOURBON
Growing up in Kentucky, bourbon was
a holiday staple on the bar and the
kitchen, playing an integral role in sea-
sonal dishes, says Trey Zoeller, founder
of Jeffersons Bourbon.
His grandmas bourbon pecan pie
capped off the night and when people
visited she didnt ask what you wanted
to drink; rather, she asked, how do you
take your bourbon?
A uniquely American spirit, bourbon
is versatile and complex. Zoeller doesnt
recommend masking the flavor in a
cocktail, but instead nding ingredients
that complement the vanilla and caramel
avors of the whiskey.
Hed make an old fashioned, which
screams holiday season with its warmth
and balance. Mix 1 3/4 ounces bourbon
with a dash of water and a dash or two of
Angostura bitters, mixing all in an old
fashioned glass and adding ice cubes.
Hes also come up with something he
calls seasons greetings from Kentucky
2 ounces Jeffersons Very Small
Batch Bourbon, 1 ounce Carpano Antica
sweet vermouth, 1 ounce applejack,
stirred over ice and strained into a coupe
glass.
His third approach is bourbon spice
cider, made of 2 quarts of spiced cider, 2
cinnamon sticks, 1 teaspoon whole
cloves, a pinch each of nutmeg and all-
spice and 1 tablespoon orange peel. The
cider makes enough for about eight
cocktails. Simmer the cider with spices
for 15 to 20 minutes. Pour 2 ounces of
bourbon in each mug, pour 8 ounces of
strained spiced hot cider over the bour-
bon and garnish with a cinnamon stick.
It is, says Zoeller, a festive, batch-
able classic.
If that doesnt say holiday cheer, what
does?
BAR
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 1/2 cups
of the milk with the cinnamon, vanilla bean, cloves, pepper-
corns, ginger, cardamom pods and a hefty pinch of salt. Bring
the mixture to a simmer, then turn off the heat and let it stand
for 15 minutes.
Strain the mixture through a sieve, discarding all of the
solids except for the vanilla bean. Scrape the seeds from the
vanilla bean into the milk; discard the vanilla pod.
Wipe out the saucepan and return the milk to the pan over
medium heat.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl beat the eggs with the sugar
for 2 minutes, or until they are light and lemon colored. Add
the heated milk in a stream, whisking gently. Return the egg-
milk mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stir-
ring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it thickens and
coats the back of the spoon, about 4 to 6 minutes. Do not let
the mixture come to a simmer or the eggs will scramble.
Quickly add the remaining 1/2 cup of milk to the pan to stop
the cooking. Transfer the mixture to a pitcher and chill for at
least 2 hours or until very cold.
To serve, divide the eggnog among 4 chilled glasses, stir in
a dash of brandy or rum, if desired, and top with a sprinkle of
freshly grated nutmeg.
CHRISTMAS SANGRIA
Start to nish: 8 hours 30 minutes (30 minutes active)
Servings: 8
750-milliliter bottle fruity red wine, such as Beaujolais
1/2 cup fresh clementine or orange juice
1/2 cup unsweetened pomegranate juice
1/2 cup Grand Marnier liqueur
1 rm pear with the skin, cored and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
(about 2 cups)
2 clementines or 1 orange, quartered lengthwise and thinly
sliced crosswise
Seeds from 1 pomegranate
2 tablespoons superne sugar
In a large bowl combine all ingredients and stir until the
sugar has dissolved. Chill, tightly covered, at least 8 hours
before serving

upgrading California schools would
yield the greatest value for the publics
investment.
He cited a 2011 U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency study, which found
that students perform better on tests
when they have adequate heating and
better lighting.
We will save energy, reduce green-
house gasses, save school districts
money to put back into classroom and
just as importantly, create much-needed
jobs for Californians, de Leon said as
he and the bills supporters stood
beneath a stage lled with dozens of
sixth-graders from Mark Twain
Elementary School.
California has about 10,000 public
schools in nearly 60,000 school build-
ings to educate its roughly 6 million stu-
dents. State Superintendent of Public
Instruction Tom Torlakson, a Democrat
who said state lawmakers should place a
new school bond on the 2014 ballot, said
70 percent of those school buildings are
more than 25 years old, and a large por-
tion of those are more than 50 years old.
Supporters say early estimates suggest
the money could help as many as 5,000
schools.
Under SB 39, Democrats said the Los
Angeles Unied School District could
cut its energy bills by 25 percent and put
an extra $28 million a year back into
classrooms that have been affected by
budget cuts in recent years.
The bill is being backed by billionaire
investor and philanthropist Tom Steyer,
who nanced the Proposition 39 cam-
paign. He said much of the money would
go to improving heating and cooling sys-
tems, as well as upgrading lights in pub-
lic schools.
The number one cause of absen-
teeism in the public schools of
California is asthma, Steyer said. We
will have a big positive health effect for
the students as a result of the way this
program is going to be implemented.
Other lawmakers have ideas of their
own for the Clean Energy Job Creation
Fund.
Assemblyman Das Williams of Santa
Barbara introduced AB 29 to help col-
leges and universities with energy ef-
ciency retrots and clean energy proj-
ects.
And Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner
of Berkeley introduced AB 39, which
she said will complement de Leons bill.
The governor could also propose his
own use for the money in his new budg-
et next year.
Steinberg said the brilliance of SB 39
is that it focuses on how the state can get
the most for its money. The bill would
require the Office of Public School
Construction to distribute the grants to
school districts on a competitive basis
for energy efciency upgrades.
Not only do we improve the climate
and create jobs and invest in the new
economy in California, but the savings
that will go from reducing energy costs
in schools will go right back to the class-
room to hire more teachers, Steinberg
said.

By Beth J. Harpaz
NEW YORK Out of the kitchen
and into the hotel lobby: Gingerbread
houses have gone from being a home-
made project done with mom to pro-
fessional exhibits designed by pastry
chefs and sometimes even architects.
And never mind the humble minia-
ture: Some displays are life-size,
while others depict entire villages. A
few extravaganzas raise money for
charity, while some include contests
for home bakers. Many are part of
larger Christmas celebrations at luxu-
ry hotels that also showcase decorated
trees, Santa visits and holiday menus.
Susan Matheson, co-author of the
book The Gingerbread Architect:
Recipes and Blueprints for Twelve
Classic American Homes, says these
types of professional gingerbread cre-
ations are elaborately detailed, spell-
binding constructions that must
require an army of pastry chefs, histo-
rians, engineers and consulting
experts. The results can elevate the
craft to a high art form that transports
the viewer into an ethereal miniature
fairy world. But Matheson doesnt
approve of glue guns or other non-
edible components: Its 100 percent
digestible or count me out.
For those who admire both home-
made and high art gingerbread hous-
es, here are details on a few extrava-
gant displays around the country this
holiday season.
For the fourth year, Le Parker
Meridien hotel in midtown
Manhattan is hosting a lobby display
of gingerbread houses designed by
New York City bakeries. The houses
include replicas of landmarks like the
Egyptian Sphinx, the Mexican temple
Chichen Itza and the Lincoln
Memorial. A gingerbread creation of
the hotels executive chef Emile
Castillo was inspired by a recent real-
life headline, depicting a crane left
dangling by Hurricane Sandy from
atop a building on 57th Street.
Customers of the hotel restaurant,
Normas, can get a ticket to vote on
their favorite house by adding $1 to
their checks; the money goes to City
Harvest, a local food bank.
The Mohegan Sun casino and
resort in Uncasville, Conn., hosts a
life-size gingerbread house thats 28
feet high (8.5 meters) and 20,000
pounds (9,000 kilos), made from
6,000 gingerbread bricks. Visitors can
walk through the home to see tiny
rooms decorated for Christmas with a
holiday tree, chocolate stockings and
cookies for Santa.
In Hawaii, a Waikiki hotel has a
miniature global village in ginger-
bread. The display at the Sheraton
Princess Kaiulani includes models of
Londons Tower Bridge, the Eiffel
Tower in Paris, a pagoda from
Yakushiji Temple in the ancient
Japanese capital of Nara, and
Hawaiis own Iolani Palace.
Executive Chef Ralf Bauer started the
tradition years ago to recreate scenery
from his native Germany.
At the Grove Park Inn in Asheville,
N.C., a gingerbread contest that began
as a local event 20 years ago is now a
national competition with more than
$7,500 in cash and prizes. This years
182 entries including some from
teens and young children were
judged by a panel that included pastry
chefs, cookbook authors and a muse-
um curator. A prize was also awarded
to the gingerbread chef from farthest
away, which this year went to a cook
from Massachusetts. The contest
requires all entries to be completely
edible.
In Philadelphia, a gingerbread dis-
play at The Shops at Liberty Place
made by Philadelphia chefs was mod-
eled after Fairmount Park historic
sites. The display, up until Dec. 9,
serves as a preview event for the
annual tour of Fairmount Park historic
homes, which are open and decorated
for the holidays until Dec. 16.
The Capital Hotel in Little Rock,
Ark., has a 12-by-14-foot (3.6-by-4.2
meter) gingerbread village on display
with an Arkansas countryside theme,
including cows, horses, deer, rabbits
and ducks along with a barn and an
Ozark shack. Details include 100
handmade pine trees dotting a sugar-
coated winter scene with a Polar
Express train and snow forts.
At The Ritz-Carlton Lodge,
Reynolds Plantation in Georgia, an
entire train station has been recreated
in gingerbread, sugar and candy,
measuring 12 feet high (3.6 meters)
and 16 feet (4.8 meters) wide. The
creation depicts the depot for a train
located on the resort property that
takes guests on tours.
Wentworth By the Sea Hotel & Spa
in Portsmouth-New Castle, N.H., has
a 4-foot (1.2-meter) tall gingerbread
house in the lobby, and the nearby
Strawbery Banke Museum in
Portsmouth hosts a display of entries
in a gingerbread house contest.
In a French twist on the ginger-
bread story, the French-based hotel
chain Sotel hosts a French holiday
dessert called buche de noel, an edible
Yule log, in their properties around
the world.
David M. Schwarz Architects of
Washington, D.C., sponsors the annu-
al construction of Gingertowns by
architects, engineers and others in
Washington, Nashville and Dallas.
The buildings stay up for a week, and
are then disassembled and donated to
charities along with cash contribu-
tions. This years Gingertowns had a
university campus theme with candy-
studded buildings such as the I.M. Pez
Library, the Cadbury Egghead
Library and the Peppermint Patty
Performing Arts Center.
If these descriptions have you
dreaming of gingerbread creations
you cant possibly make at home,
Matheson, the Gingerbread
Architect author, says theres still a
lot to be said for the simple art the
smell of baking gingerbread, the
rough cut, over-iced, slumped and out
of plumb gingerbread house with the
candy pieces that slid out of position
before the icing dried and the little
hand that created it.
Gingerbread houses go pro in holiday displays
Gingerbread houses have gone from being a homemade project done with mom to professional exhibits designed by pastry chefs and sometimes
even architects.

neighbors commenting, This is an out-
rage or Unbelievable. New Jersey
calls the proposal offensive before
Duncan called for a caucus and the stu-
dents attempted to make their case. But
those supporting the three-fths propos-
al werent able to persuade enough peo-
ple to join. The motion failed.
Duncan inherited the practice from
another teacher when he started at North
Star. At rst, he thought it would be too
much work. But, he decided to give it a
go for one year. The challenge now is
folding multiple topics into the lesson so
students learn all the required standards
in the ve weeks. Students learn about
the history leading up to their mock con-
vention and take notes during the ses-
sions about how things go. After the
mock convention is complete, students
learn about the compromises that really
came to pass.
Just this week, Duncan got an email
from a parent who shared their son came
home frustrated about the inability to get
others to compromise. He explained how
others were unreasonable and simply
throwing around their weight rather than
thinking about what was fair and best for
everyone. The parent called the exercise
a great lesson in real life and politics.
Compromise wasnt easy to reach
between 8:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.
Tuesday morning. At 8:41 a.m., students
had their wigs on. By 9:05 a.m., there
had been two failed votes to count slaves
as different percentages of a person and
South Carolina was threatening to leave.
Kiran Rao, who was portraying
William Paterson of New Jersey,
explained it was often difcult to keep
her views separate from the arguments
of the man she was representing. Also,
Rao couldnt nd much about Patersons
point of view. So, she was trying to do
her best to represent him with what she
knew.
Dawley, whose character supported
slavery, paid more than one visit to Rao
in hopes of gaining her support to count
slaves in some way toward the popula-
tion. He similarly found it difcult to
play the role at times. Slavery, he said,
isnt something he actually supports.
Despite that, Dawley argued loudly to
have slaves counted.
Things seemed to have hit a standstill
until Gillian Person, acting as George
Read from Delaware, insisted that her
idea be heard. Person suggested that
slaves be counted as a full person in
small states but half of one in large
states. The compromise, she said, should
appease all.
In years of teaching this unit, Duncan
had never heard such an idea. He was
happy to see the creativity. While it was-
nt a home run for all, the idea did pass
with minimum required support
seven votes. South Carolina and
Delaware each had a representative
leave, but it was also the end of class.

Hugh Hefner, fiancee
obtain marriage license
LOS ANGELES Hugh Hefner and
Crystal Harris are again taking steps
toward the altar, more than a year after
the centerfold canceled their previous
engagement and was branded a run-
away bride in Playboy.
The couple obtained a marriage
license Tuesday at a courthouse in
Beverly Hills.
Harris called off the couples previous
engagement in June 2011, prompting
Playboy to afx runaway bride stick-
ers to an issue introducing her as Mrs.
Hefner.
Celebrity website TMZ rst reported
the couples license. It says they reunit-
ed earlier this year and plan to wed on
New Years Eve.
LA County Recorder Public
Information Ofcer Elizabeth Knox says
the license is valid for 90 days.
Dr. Phils stolen
classic Chevy recovered
BURBANK Los Angeles police
say theyve recovered a stolen 1957
Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible that
belongs to talk-show host Phil
McGraw.
Detective Jess Corral said Tuesday
that investigators recovered McGraws
classic car, along with 13 others, after
law enforcement began targeting auto
theft rings.
HISTORY
its members include Atherton, Belmont,
Burlingame, East Palo Alto, Foster City,
Hillsborough, Menlo Park, Redwood
City, San Carlos, San Mateo, San Mateo
County and the West Bay Sanitary
District. It owns the Shoreway
Environmental Center in San Carlos and
is led by an executive director who
reports to a board of directors comprised
of city staff from the various cities.
The SBWMAs budget for scal year
2012 included more than $40 million in
revenue and operating expenses of $36.5
million. The program budget of $3.5
million includes the cost of 7.8 employ-
ees along with other administrative,
recycling diversion program and con-
tract compliance expenses.
For several years, the idea of changing
the board to elected ofcials rather than
appointed staff has arisen but never been
acted upon. The possibility may be
something considered by the task force
but isnt necessarily the goal, said
Redwood City Manager Bob Bell.
Within the last year, the SBWMA
board told its members to alert it if they
were interested in a possible change
which sparked the citys action, Bell
said.
Any amendment requires a superma-
jority of at least eight member agencies
to be on board.
However, Bell and the councilmem-
bers said having the board review itself
for possible change or dissolution was
awkward which is why they prefer the
task force process.
Foust said the idea was not to point
ngers at the agencys service but assess
if it can more efciently use funds.
We are not questioning whether the
job being done is a good job or not but is
there a redundancy, Foust said.
Foust and other members of the com-
mittee like councilmen John Seybert and
Jeff Ira said they owe it to the communi-
ty to keep the joint powers authority in
line as they ask residents to continually
accept rate increases.

convicted.
Six other arrestees face state charges
including possessing methamphetamine,
possessing the drug with intent to dis-
tribute it and possessing a stolen rearm.
The prosecution stems from an exten-
sive investigation by federal and state
agencies together with law enforcement
agencies from an array of South Bay and
Central Valley cities and counties, Haag
said.
Participating local entities included
agencies from the cities of San Jose,
Sunnyvale, Morgan Hill, Gilroy and
Salinas, and Santa Clara, Santa Cruz,
Monterey, San Benito, Stanislaus and
Yolo counties, Haag said.
Federal drug, immigration and tax
investigators and the California
Department of Justice also took part in
the probe.

People in the news
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2012
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Instead of
scattering your forces all over the place, you
should give your most meaningful objectives top
priority. Taking a lot of potshots wont improve your
marksmanship.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If through poor
judgment you reopen an old wound, there is a strong
possibility that youll only make the same mistakes
you made previously. Live and learn.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Leave your credit
cards at home if you plan to go anyplace where
extravagant items are likely to be displayed. You
might be inclined to do more than window-wish.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- The delicate
line between being your own person and being
detrimental to a team effort might get crossed if you
place undue importance on the former.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Rumblings of an
increased workload are likely to be coming your
way. It behooves you to get cracking immediately. If
you dont, the roar will only get steadier and louder.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- No matter how badly
you desire it, its not advisable to try to become all
things to all people. Youll be left feeling inadequate
when you fail at your impossible task.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Dont be too
hasty when trying to fnalize a matter of critical
importance. Its much more important to do the best
job rather than the fastest.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- There is a good
chance you could still be holding a grudge against
someone, so for the sake of inner peace, it behooves
you to avoid this person as much as you can.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- This is likely to be an
unusually good day to sort out any disturbing
fnancial affairs. Your budget can be improved upon
by trimming needless expenses.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Although you may feel
that you can easily come out ahead in a competitive
situation, dont underestimate your adversaries.
They could be stronger than you think.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It behooves you to
keep all of your endeavors as basic as possible. Be
careful not to further complicate situations that are
already a trife trickier than youd like.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Under most
circumstances, youre the type of person who is
reasonably cautious about taking huge risks, yet
today your discipline might be rather low. Try to be
extra-careful.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Myrteze Boyle
Case Number 122869
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Myrteze Boyle. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by
Kathleen Boyle in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that
Kathleen Boyle be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: Decenber 11, 2012
at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
