Parkway Heights Middle School music

Isabelle Cipriani danced as Clara in
the Peninsula Ballets production of
Nutcracker in 2006.
Also on stage during that performance
was her younger sister, Sophia Cipriani,
portraying a sheep in the Mother Goose
scene near the end of the two-act per-
formance.
It was always a dream to play Clara,
said 12-year-old Sophia Cipriani, who
always looked up to her sister.
This year, the younger Cipriani had
the opportunity to live that dream. Shes
playing Clara in this years presentation
of Nutcracker, which concludes with
two shows this weekend.
The passing of the nutcracker started
15 years ago when the Ciprianis saw a
flier for the production, explained
Jeannine Cipriani, mother of the girls.
At the time, Isabelle Cipriani, now 19
and a sophomore at the University of
California at Riverside, was 4 and in
dance.
I had no idea how it would evolve,
Jeannine Cipriani said.
She started as a parent volunteer, help-
ing with the general production require-
ments. Her responsibility has now grown
to become the Peninsula Ballet Theatres
boutique manager. She has been respon-
sible for organizing and managing the
installation of a year-round boutique at
PBTs headquarters in San Mateo as
well as continuing the theater boutiques
that accompany each production.

A church volunteer accused of inappropri-
ate relationships with young boys he met
through graphic online ads is facing 10 years
in prison and lifetime registration as a sex
offender after pleading no contest to nine
felonies.
Brandon Lee Hamm, 37, of San Francisco,
was originally charged with more than four
dozen counts of lewd acts with a minor but on
Friday accepted a negotiated plea deal that
drops the majority of charges and carries no
more than 10 years in state prison. He will be
formally sentenced Feb. 19.
The settlement is good, particularly if no
victim has to testify in a trial, said Chief
Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti.
Hamm, a former volunteer with the
Peninsula Metropolitan
Community Church who
has since been suspended,
was arrested by South San
Francisco police in June
after an ofcer posing as a
young boy responded to
his online advertisement
seeking horny skater
boys. Over several weeks,
the two reportedly
exchanged emails includ-
ing graphic photographs from Hamm and a
detective who met him at a prearranged spot
reported him having a backpack full of sex
toys, lubricant and child pornography.
He was prepared to post bail when investi-
gators located another alleged victim who was
14 when he responded to a 2009 Craigslist ad
posted by Hamm.
In that case, Hamm allegedly responded to
the boys advertisement and investigators have
several emails between them detailing the
conduct. The email also reportedly included
references to former Penn State assistant
coach and convicted sex offender Jerry
Sandusky.
He was also charged in the case of a 15-
year-old boy who allegedly met Hamm in
October 2010 and continued a relationship
with him through his June 22 arrest.
He has been in custody in lieu of $500,000
bail.
Defense attorney Ryan McHugh did not
return a call for comment.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Rain closed roads and prompted urban ood
warnings Friday, and weather forecasters say
its likely to get worse this weekend before it
gets better.
While Fridays rain has snarled traffic
throughout the Bay Area, the North Bay
appears to be seeing the worst effects.
The National Weather Service issued an
urban ood warning Friday afternoon for
Marin, Sonoma and Napa counties, signaling
that rain could pool in low lying areas and on
roads and cause ponds and streams to over-
ow.
Highway 1 was closed just south of Tomales
Petaluma Road in Marin County in both direc-
tions due to flooding, the California
Department of Transportation said this after-
noon.
The National Weather Service also issued a
hazardous weather advisory for the entire Bay
Area and a high surf advisory for areas includ-
ing San Francisco, the Peninsula and the
coastal North Bay. Large waves could occa-
sionally break far up onto beaches, potentially
sweeping beachgoers and shermen into the
water.
Rain is expected to continue this weekend,
with highs in the mid 40s to mid 50s around
the Bay Area, according to a National Weather
Service meteorologist. Sunday morning, a
stronger storm is expected that carries a
chance of thunderstorms.
Well have pretty robust rainfall amounts,
but not so heavy that we have big ooding
issues, said meteorologist Austin Cross.
Urban area will see a third to half an inch, the
hills could see up to one to two inches.
The storm is expected to end Sunday night,
but another system could arrive by the evening
of Christmas Day.
There will be some breaks in there, Cross
said. It looks like probably Monday will be a
nice enough day, but overall it will be pretty
wet and cold.
Pacific Gas and Electric officials say
Sundays storm, in particular, could cause
problems including power outages.
Were expecting windy conditions espe-
cially in the higher elevations, in the North
Bay, Peninsula and portions of the East Bay as
well, said PG&E spokesman Joe Molica.
We urge folks to be prepared out there.
Molica noted that anyone experiencing a
power outage should use ashlights and bat-
tery-operated radios, not candles. A phone
with a cord is also good to have, he noted.
A cordless phone wont work in a power
outage, and a cellphone might work only for a
limited period of time, Molica said.

San Carlos takes steps
toward new schools
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Building two schools serving students in fourth and fth
grades is part of the major congurations of a larger Facilities
Master Plan the San Carlos Elementary School District is
completing.
Last year, San Carlos Elementary School District ofcials
said they must add capacity because of the growing number of
children at all of its schools. On Thursday, the board agreed
upon the major congurations to be included in a yet-to-be-
completed Facilities Master Plan. Among the solutions are
building a new elementary school on each of the middle school
sites and possibly relocated the Charter Learning Center, said
board President Seth Rosenblatt.
Such schools wouldnt be traditional but would lower the
number of students at each site while offering an equal oppor-
tunity for all district students. While specic project plans or
budgets were not approved, the direction will allow district
staff to complete the Facilities Master Plan, work on specic
plans and budget, develop a phasing approach for construc-
tion, seek state matching grants for construction and research
possible site for the CLC.
In November, San Carlos voters approved Measure H, a $72
million bond measure to be used to address capacity issues.

SACRAMENTO After a long twi-
light, business is booming again at Matt
Construction as high-end orders come
in for hotels and office complexes.
The Los Angeles-area company
increased hiring by about 20 percent
this year, adding 30 employees as more
construction jobs and bigger ones
piled up.
Such stories are a major reason
Californias jobless rate dipped below
10 percent last month for the first time
since the recession began. The 9.8 per-
cent unemployment rate reported
Friday by the Employment
Development Department is down from
10.1 percent in October.
The last time the unemployment rate
was in single digits was in January
2009, when the number was 9.7 per-
cent.
The improvement, led by a surge in
technology jobs that have spurred a
wave of new construction, comes as
something of a surprise. Leading econ-
omists had predicted that Californias
unemployment rate would remain in
double digits through 2013.
Al Matt, executive vice president of
Matt Construction, said his Santa Fe
Springs-based company has seen a
strong recovery from the height of the
recession in 2009, when revenues
dropped by half.
Overall, our revenues are up in 2012
by a substantial amount, as much as 30
percent, he said. It looks like next
year will be a similar sort of increase.
There are other positive signs. The
number of unemployed Californians
dropped to 1.8 million, also the lowest
number in nearly four years. The state
has added more than 564,000 nonfarm
payroll jobs since the economic recov-
ery began in 2010.
The job gains have been fairly wide-
spread, said economist Jerry
Nickelsburg, a professor at the
University of California, Los Angeles.
Were finally seeing an increase in
construction, particularly single-family
housing.
He added that such signs are contin-
ued evidence that Californias economy
is growing and is recovering.

SAN FRANCISCO A federal
appeals court on Friday put the brakes on
a first-of-its-kind California law that
bans therapy aimed at turning gay minors
straight.
A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals issued an emer-
gency order putting the law on hold until
the court can hear full arguments on the
measures constitutionality. The law was
set to take effect Jan. 1.
Licensed counselors who practice so-
called reparative therapy and two fam-
ilies who say their teenage sons have
beneted from it sought the injunction
after a lower court judge refused the
request.
The law, which was passed by the
Legislature and signed by Gov. Jerry
Brown this fall, states that therapists and
counselors who use sexual orientation
change efforts on clients under 18
would be engaging in unprofessional
conduct and subject to discipline by state
licensing boards.
The appeals courts order prevents the
state from enforcing the law, SB1172, while
a different three-judge panel considers if the
measure violates the First Amendment
rights of therapists and parents.
Liberty Counsel President Mathew
Staver, whose Christian legal aide group
is representing reparative therapy practi-
tioners and recipients in a lawsuit seek-
ing to overturn the law, applauded the
courts decision to grant his request to
delay its implementation.

Audit: Poor management,
training at state parks
SACRAMENTO Poor manage-
ment and insufcient training at the
California Department of Parks and
Recreation led to a scandal in which
parks ofcials hid $54 million as state
parks faced millions of dollars in cut-
backs, an audit released Friday said.
For 19 years, parks staff intentionally
under-reported funds used by the gover-
nors ofce to craft the state budget, the
audit by the state Department of Finance
said.
We found the methodology was
inconsistent, parks staff could not pro-
vide reasonable explanations, and sup-
porting documentation was not
retained, the audit stated.

Feds reject state request
for education waiver
LOS ANGELES Californias top educa-
tion official says the federal government has
rejected the states request for a waiver from
parts of the U.S. Elementary and Secondary
Education Act.
Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom
Torlakson said in a letter sent Friday to local
superintendents that a formal denial has not
been issued, but education officials told him
the request would be rejected.
California applied for a waiver in June
from the laws school-performance accounta-

Torlakson says Californias accountability

Kerry nominated to
be secretary of state
By Julie Pace
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama on Friday
nominated Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, one of
Washingtons most respected voices on foreign policy, as his
next secretary of state.
The move is the rst in an expected overhaul of Obamas
national security team heading into his second term.
As the nations top diplomat, Kerry will not only be tasked
with executing the presidents foreign policy objectives, but
will also have a hand in shaping them. The longtime lawmak-
er has been in lockstep with Obama on issues like nuclear non-
proliferation, but ahead of the White House in advocating
aggressive policies in Libya, Egypt and elsewhere that the
president later embraced.
He is not going to need a lot of on-the-job training, Obama
said, standing alongside Kerry in a Roosevelt Room ceremo-
ny. Few individuals know as many presidents and prime min-
isters or grasp our foreign policies as rmly as John Kerry.
He is expected to win conrmation easily in the Senate,
where he has served since 1985, the last six years as chairman
of the Foreign Relations Committee.
Kerry would take the helm at the State Department from
Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has long planned to
leave the administration early next year. Clinton is recovering
from a concussion sustained in a fall and did not attend the
White House event.
In a statement, Clinton said, John Kerry has been tested
in war, in government, and in diplomacy. Time and again, he
has proven his mettle.
Obama settled on Kerry for the job even though it could
cause a political problem for Democrats in Massachusetts.
Kerrys move to State would open the Senate seat he has held
for ve terms, giving Republicans an opportunity to take
advantage.

WASHINGTON With Congress in
gridlock and stocks taking a fall,
President Barack Obama issued a stern
summons to lawmakers Friday to pass
legislation to prevent year-end scal cliff
tax increases on millions and avoid an
imminent expiration of benets for the
long-term unemployed.
Republican House Speaker John
Boehner said Obama himself must give
more ground to reach an agreement. He
added, How we get there, God only
knows.
Congress was shutting down, and
Obama was headed to Hawaii to join his
family for the holidays. But both men
indicated theyd be back working to beat
the fast-approaching Jan. 1 deadline
with an agreement between Christmas
and New Years.
One day after House anti-tax rebels
torpedoed Boehners Plan B legislation
because it would raise rates on million-
dollar-earners, Obama said he still wants
a bill that requires the well-to-do to pay
more. Everybodys
got to give a little bit
in a sensible way to
prevent the economy
from pitching over a
recession-threaten-
ing fiscal cliff, he
said.
He spoke after
talking by phone
with Boehner
architect of the failed House bill and
meeting with Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid.
Boehners office quickly issued a
statement saying the Ohio Republican
intends to return to the Capitol after
Christmas ready to nd a solution that
can pass both houses of Congress. At
the same time, spokesman Brendan
Buck said, we remain hopeful he
(Obama) is nally ready to get serious
about averting the scal cliff.
At the White House, Obama projected
optimism as he struggled to deal with the
wreckage of weeks of failed negotiations
and political maneuvering. So call me a
hopeless optimist, but I actually still
think we can get it done, he said of an
elusive deal.
The president spoke at the end of a day
in which stocks tumbled and congres-
sional leaders squabbled as the scal
cliff drew implacably closer.
Boehner spoke in the morning,
describing the increasingly tangled
attempts to beat the Jan. 1 deadline and
head off the perilous combination of
across-the-board tax hikes and deep
spending cuts.
Obama spoke shortly before a sched-
uled departure to join his family in
Hawaii for Christmas, but in an indica-
tion of the importance of the issue, he
told reporters he would be returning to
the White House next week.
He said that in his negotiations with
Boehner, he had offered to meet
Republicans halfway when it came to
taxes, and more than halfway toward
their target for spending cuts.
He said he remains committed to
working toward a goal of longer-term
decit reduction, but in the meantime he
said quick action is needed to keep taxes
from rising for tens of millions.

WASHINGTON Guns and police
officers in all American schools are
whats needed to stop the next killer
waiting in the wings, the National
Rie Association declared Friday, taking
a no-retreat stance in the face of growing
calls for gun control after the
Connecticut shootings that claimed the
lives of 26 children and school staff.
The only thing that stops a bad guy
with a gun is a good guy with a gun,
said Wayne LaPierre, the groups chief
executive ofcer.
Some members of Congress who had
long scoffed at gun-control proposals
have begun to suggest some concessions
could be made, and a erce debate over
legislation seems likely next month.
President Barack Obama has demanded
real action, right now.
The nations largest gun-rights lobby
broke its weeklong silence on the shoot-
ing rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary
School with a deant presentation. The
event was billed as a news conference,
but NRA leaders took no questions.
Twice, they were interrupted by banner-
waving protesters, who were removed
by security.
Some had predicted that after the
slaughter of a score of elementary-
school children by a man using a semi-
automatic rie, the group might soften
its stance, at least slightly. Instead,
LaPierre delivered a 25-minute tirade
against the notion that another gun law
would stop killings in a culture where
children are exposed daily to violence in
video games, movies and music videos.
He argued that guns are the solution, not
the problem.

WASHINGTON Federal health regula-
tors say a genetically modied salmon that
grows twice as fast as normal is unlikely to
harm the environment, clearing the way for
the rst approval of a scientically engineered
animal for human consumption.
The Food and Drug Administration on
Friday released its environmental assessment
of the AquaAdvantage salmon, a faster-grow-
ing sh which has been subject to a con-
tentious, yearslong debate at the agency. The
document concludes that the sh will not
have any signicant impacts on the quality of
the human environment of the United States.
Regulators also said that the sh is unlikely to
harm populations of natural salmon, a key
concern for environmental activists.
The FDA will take comments from the pub-
lic on its report for 60 days before making it
nal.
The FDA said more than two years ago that
the sh appears to be safe to eat, but the
agency had taken no public action since then.
Executives for the company behind the sh,
Maynard, Mass.-based Aquabounty, speculat-
ed that the government was delaying action on
their application due to push-back from
groups who oppose genetically modied food
animals.
Experts view the release of the environmen-
tal report as the nal step before approval.
Egyptian Islamists,
opponents clash ahead of vote
ALEXANDRIA, Egypt Violence erupted
between Egypts divided camps on Friday, the
eve of the nal round of a referendum on a con-
stitution that has polarized the nation, as
Islamists and their opponents pelted each other
with stones while police red tear gas in the
streets of the Mediterranean city of Alexandria.
The contentious referendum, which would
bring a greater implementation of Islamic law to
Egypt, is expected to be approved in Saturdays
voting.
The new clashes in which opponents of
Islamists set re to cars and dozens of people
were hurt illustrated how the new charter is
unlikely to ease the violent conict over the
countrys future. For a month, Egypt has been
torn between Islamists and their opponents, who
accuse President Mohammed Morsi and his
Muslim Brotherhood of trying to unilaterally
impose their will on the country.
Mali militants seek
peace after U.N. backs force
BAMAKO, Mali The al-Qaida-linked
group that controls much of northern Mali and
other rebels agreed Friday to cease hostilities in
the areas they control, a day after the United
Nations backed a regional plan to oust the
Islamists from power in a military intervention
next year.
Ansar Dine, which controls the northern cities
of Timbuktu and Kidal, and a secular rebel
group known as the NMLA made the conces-
sions following talks in neighboring Algeria.
The two groups vowed to refrain from all
actions that would cause confrontation and hos-
tilities in the areas that they control.
They also vowed to work to free hostages
in northern Mali, where al-Qaidas North
Africa branch has made millions of dollars
through ransoms and is currently holding
seven French nationals captive.
Court strikes down
Costa Rica in-vitro ban
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica A Costa Rican ban
on in-vitro fertilization has been struck down by
the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in a
decision that reproductive health groups said
could lead to greater access to abortion and
some contraception in other Latin American
countries.
The court said in a ruling late Thursday that a
long-standing Costa Rican guarantee of protec-
tion for every human embryo violated the repro-
ductive freedom of infertile couples because it
prohibited them from using in-vitro fertilization,
which often involves the disposal of embryos
not implanted in a patients uterus.
The court said that governments cannot give
embryos and fetuses absolute protection under
the American Convention on Human Rights.
The Costa Rican government said it will comply
with the courts decision and move to allow in-
vitro fertilization.
North Korea says it
has detained a U.S. citizen
PYONGYANG, North Korea North Korea
said Friday that an American citizen has been

Washington for launching a long-range rocket
last week.
The American was identied as Pae Jun Ho in
a brief dispatch issued by the state-run Korean
Central News Agency in Pyongyang. News
reports in the U.S. and South Korea said Pae is
known in his home state of Washington as
Kenneth Bae, a 44-year-old tour operator of
Korean descent.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
By Irvin Dawid
A
s a transportation activist, some-
times I get too close to the topic
and forget to see the bigger picture.
So when I received the email from Michael
Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club
on Dec. 13 of his Coming Clean blog
titled, Coming Clean: Smarter Choices for
Climate Solutions, I thought it would be
your basic blog in support of renewable ener-
gy, greater energy efciency or driving an
electric vehicle. Hardly.
If you read Bill Silverfarbs article in the
Dec. 13 Daily Journal, Caltrain project
deemed best by Sierra Club then you
know what Brune wrote about, as both Brune
and Silverfarb discussed the Sierra Clubs
new report, Smart Choices, Less Trafc: 50
Best and Worst Transportation Projects in the
United States.
Brunes climate blog was specically tack-
ling transportation the source of 27 per-
cent of the countrys transportation green-
house emissions, and in California, because
we have virtually no coal power plants, 40
percent, mostly from passenger vehicles.
While Silverfarb wrote why Caltrain was
singled out as the one best project for the
entire state included in this landmark report
by the Sierra Club, the bigger picture that
Brune tackles is that we, the United States,
have to spend our limited transportation dol-
lars wisely on projects that reduce our carbon
footprint, in part by making transit more
attractive to car commuters as well as for
other trips where the train can be used in lieu
of a car. Of course, converting the train from
one that gulps diesel fuel and spews soot to
one that runs on electricity and leaves no
plume of smoke also helped enormously.
Electrication, the reason why the local
Loma Prieta chapter of the Sierra Club nomi-
nated the project, has been a long-standing
goal of Caltrain, and it probably would not
have received its funding
had it not been for devel-
opments not tied to
Caltrain but to high-speed
rail that will pay for about
half of the $1.5 billion
cost.
The vote by
Californians to support
high speed rail in 2008;
The proposal by the three legislators, for-
mer state senator Joe Simitian, Assemblyman
Rich Gordon and U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo for
a blended system with the California High-
Speed Rail Authority along the Caltrain
right-of-way that enabled most of the corri-
dor cities to agree to go forward with high-
speed rail on the corridor;
State Sen. Jerry Hill, who was instrumen-
tal in writing the legislation that funded
improvements for the southern and northern
ends of the Los Angeles to San Francisco
train;
Local and regional transit agencies work-
ing through the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission to provide the local matching
funds; and
Tireless work by Caltrain staff and the
board of directors to align all the funding
pieces.
Contrast Caltrain electrication with the
one other California project described in the
report, the Interstate 5 widening in San
Diego to 12 lanes.
One project makes public transit more
attractive, cleaner, quieter and more efcient.
According to Mark Simon, Caltrains execu-
tive ofcer for Public Affairs, electrifying the
train they will reduce Caltrains scal short-
fall by about half through a combination of
(substantial) fuel savings and other opera-
tional efciencies, increased frequency and
stops, which in turn should increase ridership
and revenues.
The other project, the widening of a free-
way, only ensures that more of us will stay in
or cars, consuming more oil and increasing
our carbon footprint, as opposed to seeking
alternatives that emit less greenhouse gas
emissions and get us beyond oil. In fact,
the asphalt itself laid for the additional lanes
is a product of petroleum.
And nally, the costs. Reducing green-
house gas emissions for Peninsula com-
muters and other travelers will cost about
$1.5 billion while transforming Caltrain into
a modern commuter railroad.
The I-5 widening project will greatly
increase greenhouse gas emissions at three
times the cost of the Caltrain project while
making it more difcult for those commuters
to shed their cars for environmentally friend-
ly alternatives.
The best and worst projects for
California, not only located on opposite ends
of the state, could not be more contrasting in
almost every measurement.

Displeased with Schwab
Editor,
I am saddened that the Daily Journal
replaced the late Keith Krietman with
Dwight L. Schwab as the weekend columnist
(in response to Schwabs column, Start
being a president for all the people in the
Dec. 15-16 edition of the Daily Journal). By
doing so, the Daily Journal has replaced rea-
son with right-wing partisanship.
Where was Lindsey Graham when
President George W. Bush was taking the
federal budget surplus he inherited from
President Clinton and turning it into a
decit? He was voting yea like a good
Republican supporting his Republican presi-
dent. Lindsey Graham voted in 2005 against
allowing the Health and Human Services sec-
retary to negotiate with prescription drug
manufacturers for the best possible prescrip-
tion drug prices.
Schwab asserts raising the top tax rate
back to the Clinton tax rate will most de-
nitely hurt job creation. What proof does he
have for that statement? There was plenty of
job creation during the Clinton presidency.
Schwab asks when the country will be
rewarded with rm and responsible leader-
ship that benets the entire country and not
targeted constituencies. It seems to me that
extending the Bush tax rates for 98 percent
of Americans is a good start.
Why shouldnt President Obama claim a
mandate after winning back-to-back majority
votes? George W. Bush claimed a mandate
after winning the 2000 election without win-
ning the popular vote. It seems to me that the
ideological mumbo jumbo is coming from
Schwab.
Timothy Jones
Belmont
Mr. Schwab
Editor,
After reading Dwight L. Schwabs recent
column, Start being a president for all the
people in the Dec. 15-16 edition of the
Daily Journal, I came to the conclusion that
it will be much more likely that Mr. Schwab
will continue to wade through the verbal,
ideological and political slime that is charac-
teristic of his venomous style of political
journalism than it will be for Mr. Obama to
slither (Mr. Schwabs word) his way to the
nish line of a second term. That certainly is
not the kind of legacy any responsible mem-
ber of the mainstream media who is doing
his job would want to leave behind.
Mr. Schwab should note that the code of
the Society of Professional Journalists
denes a responsible journalist as a person
who treats subjects as human beings deserv-
ing of respect. Suggesting that Mr. Obama is
a snake in the grass is hardly a responsible
act.
Havent we had enough of this kind of
nonsense? In closing, I ask Mr. Schwab the
same question he asks our president: How
about doing your job too?

Caltrain moving beyond oil Time for president
to be a role model
of fiscal discipline
By Dwight L. Schwab Jr.
I
f ever there was one cost to taxpayers
that should be the ultimate outrage, it
would be the notion of a presidential
vacation. Not the sort of presidential vacation
enjoyed on government
property such as nearby
Camp David, Md. estab-
lished by President
Eisenhower.
No, this is about the
incredibly expensive
adventures to exotic loca-
tions like the island of
Oahu.
As this country barrels
toward the scal cliff, the federal govern-
ment must become an example for all
Americans. Who better to start such a trend
than President Obama?
The presidents image as portrayed by his
admiring mainstream media is that of a man
leading the good ght to liberate the United
States from impending scal chaos. But should
the president and Congress end in stalemate on
the scal deadline this Jan. 1, where will the
president be?
President Obama, the scal spending war-
rior, will be in beautiful, sunny Hawaii, soak-
ing in a 20-day, $4 million vacation. Not close
to the White House for any movement in
budget negotiations (like Camp David), but
thousands of miles away. Why?
Residents living along the ocean and canal
that surrounds the multi-million dollar homes
at Kailuana Place where the president stays,
will have restrictions that will be implemented
for 20 days beginning Dec. 17 and running
through Jan. 6. Think theyre happy?
No such problems exist in the private, tax-
payer-funded Maryland retreat just hours from
the White House. It has all the comforts of
home and readily available security already in
place. Forgoing this existing vacation spot in
lieu of a Hawaiian paradise may come as a
surprising cost to many Americans without
jobs or funds to buy presents this cash-
strapped Christmas season.
Here are the incredible logistics for the pres-
ident and his familys security:
The Hawaii Reporter indicates the presi-
dents stay will cost almost a half-million dol-
lars (or more) for C-17 military aircraft trans-
ports to y limos and a Navy SEAL mobile
security detail.
The cost for the USAF-C-17 cargo aircraft
that transports the presidential limos, helicop-
ters and other support equipment to Hawaii has
never been disclosed in the years the president
has traveled to Hawaii. However, the ight
time between Andrews Air Force Base and
Hawaii is at about 21.5 hours round-trip, with
estimated operating costs of $12,000 per hour.
The U.S. Marine Corps provides a presiden-
tial helicopter, along with pilots and support
crews for the test ights, which travel on
another C-17 ight. That is $258,000, not
including costs for the four to six member
crews per diem and hotels.
The cost for the UCAF C-17 cargo aircraft
that transports the presidential limos, helicop-
ters and the rentals are fronted by the ocean
and backed by a canal. So, the taxpayers must
cover the costs for housing U.S. Secret
Service, U.S. Coast Guard and Navy SEALS
in beach front and canal front homes around
where the president stays.
Last year, that added up to about $200 per
bedroom per day, or $21,000 per average
home for a nearly three-week period, with
Special Forces renting at least seven homes.
Security arrives ahead of the president, costing
taxpayers about $176,400 for the length of the
visit. Now doesnt Camp David seem a bit
saner in these trying times? Does anyone really
care whether its a Democrat or Republican?
Times have changed indeed and our role
model must change with them.

NEW YORK Investors sent
Washington a reminder Friday that Wall
Street is a power player in talks to avoid
the fiscal cliff.
Stocks fell sharply after House
Republicans called off a vote on tax
rates and left federal budget talks in dis-
array 10 days before sweeping tax
increases and government spending
cuts are scheduled to take effect.
The Dow Jones industrial average
lost as much as 189 points before clos-
ing down 120.88 points, or 0.9 percent,
at 13,190.84. The Standard & Poors
500 index fell 13.54 points to 1,430.15.
The Nasdaq composite index declined
29.38 to 3,021.01.
The House bill would have raised
taxes on Americans making at least $1
million per year and locked in decade-
old tax cuts for Americans making less.
Taxes will rise for almost all
Americans on Jan. 1 unless Congress
acts.
House Speaker John Boehner had
presented what he called Plan B
while he negotiated with the White
House on avoiding the sweeping tax
increases and spending cuts, a combina-
tion known as the fiscal cliff.
But Boehner scrapped a vote on the
bill Thursday night after it became clear
that it did not have enough support in
the Republican-led House to secure
passage. He called on the White House
and the Democratic-led Senate to work
something out.
The markets decline demonstrated
that investors nerves are raw as they
await a resolution.
Where we are today, the market
would be satisfied with the announce-
ment of a stopgap measure, said
Quincy Krosby, a market strategist at
Prudential Financial. The more the
clock ticks, the more the market is say-
ing, Just give us something.
Sal Arnuk, a partner at Themis
Trading, suggested that the sharp drop
in stocks early in the day might have
been an overreaction. The Dow was
down as much as 189 points, and before
the market opened, stock futures sug-
gested a decline of 200 points or more.
Its not a surprise that they werent
able to come to an agreement, he said.
I dont think most of Wall Street antici-
pated that they would come to an agree-
ment.
Other markets registered their con-
cern, but the reaction was not extreme.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year
U.S. Treasury note fell 0.04 percentage
point to 1.76 percent.

LOS ANGELES Herbalife Ltd.
and hedge fund Pershing Square Capital
Management appear to be squaring off
over claims that have pummeled the
companys stock this week.
The hedge funds founder and CEO
William Ackmans said earlier this week
that he believes the nutritional supple-
ments company is a pyramid scheme
and announcement that his is shorting
the stock. Herbalife vehemently denies
the claim but the news has pummeled its
stock price three days in a row.
Ackman said Wednesday that he has
been shorting the companys stock for
several months. Short sellers earn
money when a stock declines. Ackman
detailed his allegations in a presentation
Thursday at the Sohn Conference
Foundation meeting in New York and
conrmed that he has an enormous
short position. On Friday, Pershing
made the information used in its presen-
tation public, launching the web site
www.FactsAboutHerbalife.com. It
includes the source data used to create
its presentation that it titled Who wants
to be a Millionaire?.
Herbalife has denied the accusations
several times over and said Friday that it
will host an analyst day the week of Jan.
7 to respond in detail to the distorted,
outdated and inaccurate information
laid out by Pershing Square.
Ackman, a noted hedge fund manag-
er, claims that Herbalife is misrepre-
senting some of its nancial information
to disguise the nature of its business. He
says distributors make more money
from recruitment than from actual sales
to consumers, which he says denes it
as a pyramid scheme.
Herbalife, which signs up independ-
ent distributors to sell supplements and
weight loss products, says the allegation
that it is a pyramid scheme is bogus.
The company said it asked Ackman to
allow Herbalife to participate in his
presentation but Ackman declined.
Now we know why, the company
said in a statement Thursday. Had our
executives been there, they would have
been able to tear Mr. Ackmans premis-
es and interpretation of our business
model apart. His misstatements and
mistakes are too numerous to address
immediately.
Herbalife is urging the Securities and
Exchange Commission to investigate
the events, saying it appears to be yet
another attempt to illegally manipulate
the market by overzealous short-sell-
ers.
The company, which is incorporated
in the Cayman Islands and has its prin-
cipal operating subsidiary in Los
Angeles, sells its products in more than
80 countries.
Pershing Squares web site informa-
tion includes Herbalife distributor pre-
sentations, recruiting scripts, SEC cor-
respondence, third-party investigative
reports and other materials on the histo-
ry of the company that Pershing says
will help the public understanding the
facts about Herbalife. The data was
gathered by Pershing Square and its
legal and other advisers from public
sources over the last year.
Herbalifes shares fell 19 percent, or
$6.43, to close at $27.27 Friday. This
follows a 12 percent decline Wednesday
and nearly 10 percent drop Thursday. Its
stock is down 47 percent in the year to
date.
Herbalife calls analyst meeting

SAN FRANCISCO Downloading
a gun design to your computer, building
it with a three-dimensional printer that
uses plastics and other materials, and
ring it minutes later. No background
checks, no questions asked.
Sound far-fetched? Its not. And that
is disquieting for gun control advocates.
Rep. Steven Israel, D-NY, said the
prospect of such guns becoming reality
is reason enough for the renewal of the
Undetectable Firearms Act, which
makes it illegal to build guns that cant
be detected by X-ray or metallic scan-
ners. That law expires at the end of
2013.
At least one group, Defense
Distributed, is claiming to have created
downloadable weapon parts that can be
built using the increasingly popular
new-generation of printer that can cre-
ate 3-D objects with moving parts.
University of Texas law student Cody
Wilson, 24-year-old Wiki Weapons
project leader for Defense Distributed,
says the group last month test red a
semiautomatic AR-15 rie one of the
weapon-types used in the Connecticut
school massacre. Video posted by the
group on YouTube indicates the gun was
built with some key parts created on a 3-
D printer and red six times before it
broke.
No independent observer veried the
test. Federal firearms regulators said
they are aware of the technologys gun-
making potential but do not believe an
entire weapon has yet been made.
Still, Israel said the Defense
Distributed effort was chilling.
When the Undetectable Firearms Act
was last renewed in 2003, a gun made
by a 3-D printer was like a Star Trek
episode, but now we know its real, he
said.
Even with gun control pushed to the
top of the national political conversa-
tion, Wilson is steadfast about reaching
his goal of making a fully downloadable
gun.
He keeps three AR-15 parts one
black, one white and another green in
his tidy student apartment in Austin,
Texas. This weekend, he and his part-
ners plan to print four new lower
receivers the segment of the gun that
includes the trigger, magazine and grip.
Wilson was saddened by the
Connecticut school attack but said
Thursday that protecting the right to
bear arms by giving everyone access to
guns is more important in the long term
than a single horrible crime.
Clearly what happened in
Connecticut was a tragedy, he told the
Associated Press. Still, by affording
the Second Amendment protection, we
understand events like these will hap-
pen.

Two Europeans get
U.S. prison in $4M car-selling scam
LAS VEGAS A Romanian man was sentenced Friday
to eight years and one month in a U.S. prison and a Russian
woman got ve years and 10 months for scamming victims
out of more than $4.4 million by selling non-existent cars
over the Internet.
Corneliu Weikum, 38, and Yulia Mishina-Heffron, 24,
were sentenced Friday by U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro
after pleading guilty in September to cash smuggling, and
wire and bank fraud charges.
Weikums attorneys, Michael Miceli and Tom Piraro, and
Mishina-Heffrons lawyer, John Momot, said their clients
apologized before sentencing.
The judge also ordered Weikum and Mishina-Heffron to
serve three years of supervised release after prison, repay
more than $4.4 million to 268 victims, and to surrender more
than $1.4 million in cash seized during the investigation.
Almost $1.1 million of that money was seized in October
2010 at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas. Nearly
$90,000 was seized in March 2010 by German customs
agents.
Prosecutors alleged the two, based in Los Angeles and Las
Vegas, funneled cash abroad in a Romania-based scheme
that advertised cars for sale on Internet sites like eBay
Motors, Auto Trader and Craigslist from May 2007 to
November 2010. The cars were never delivered.
Disney completes
Lucasfilm acquisition for $4.06B
BURBANK Disney says it has completed its acquisi-
tion of Lucaslm Ltd. for $4.06 billion in cash and stock.
The company said Friday that it issued 37.1 million shares
and made a cash payment of $2.21 billion to buy the maker
of Star Wars from its sole owner, George Lucas.
The total transaction value was based on Fridays closing
price of $50 for Disney shares.
The deal includes special effects giant Industrial Light &
Magic, video game maker LucasArts and sound studio
Skywalker Sound.

ALAMEDA Though the
Oakland Raiders were long ago
eliminated from playoff contention,
Andre Carter is relishing the nal

a championship run.

Carter had a sack and three quar-

SEATTLE Dynamic young quarter-
backs. Bullying running backs. Rock-solid
defenses. Coaches who dont much like
each other.
Throw in playoff implications and no
wonder the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle
Seahawks were given a prime-time show-
case.
There is something about them, man.
Theyre basically the same team as us and I
just hate that fact, Seattle safety Kam
Chancellor said.
The 49ers and Seahawks erce rivalry
will be in full view before a national TV
audience on Sunday night. And the stakes
are high.
San Francisco (10-3-1) needs one win in
its nal two games to clinch a second
straight NFC West title. Nearly 20 years
ago was the last time the 49ers claimed
consecutive division crowns, and wins the
nal two weeks would assure the San
Francisco at least the No. 2 seed and a rst-
round playoff bye.
Seattle (9-5) needs one victory to clinch
at least a wild-card berth. Two wins and an
unlikely San Francisco loss in the nale
against Arizona would give the Seahawks
Seahawks stand in 49ers way

ineligible

STANFORD Stanford defen-

been declared ineligible for the
Rose Bowl against Wisconsin
because of a secondary violation of
NCAA rules
related to his
rental of off-

ing.
The school
didnt release
any further
details about
the decision
Friday. The
senior nose
tackle missed
victories in the regular-season nale
and the Pac-12 championship
against UCLA for what Cardinal
coach David Shaw had called a
personal problem.
Asked after Fridays practice how
the issue surfaced, Shaw said its
not important. He also said any
assumption Stephens was getting a
discount on rent is not necessarily
accurate. When pressed about
specics, he declined to elaborate.

When Gabby Douglas allowed herself
to dream of being the Olympic champi-
on, she imagined having a nice little din-
ner with family and friends to celebrate.
Maybe shed make an appearance here
and there.
I didnt think it was going to be
crazy, Douglas said, laughing. I love
it. But I realized my perspective was
going to have to change.
Just a bit.
The teenager has become a worldwide
star since winning the Olympic all-
around title in London, the rst African-
American gymnast to claim gymnastics
biggest prize. And now she has earned
another honor. Douglas was selected
The Associated Press female athlete of
the year, edging out swimmer Missy
Franklin in a vote by U.S. editors and
news directors that was announced
Friday.
I didnt realize how much of an
impact I made, said Douglas, who turns
17 on Dec. 31. My mom and everyone
said, You really wont know the full
impact until youre 30 or 40 years old.
But its starting to sink in.
In a year lled with standout perform-
ances by female athletes, those of the
pint-sized gymnast shined brightest.
Douglas received 48 of 157 votes, seven
more than Franklin, who won four gold
medals and a bronze in London. Serena
Williams, who won Wimbledon and the
U.S. Open two years after her career
was nearly derailed by a series of health
problems, was third (24).
Britney Griner, who led Baylor to a
40-0 record and the NCAA title, and
skier Lindsey Vonn each got 18 votes.
Sprinter Allyson Felix, who won three
gold medals in London, and Carli Lloyd,
who scored both U.S. goals in the
Americans 2-1 victory over Japan in the
gold-medal game, also received votes.
One of the few years the womens
(Athlete of the Year) choices are more
compelling than the mens, said Julie
Jag, sports editor of the Santa Cruz
Sentinel.
Douglas is the fourth gymnast to win
one of the APs annual awards, which
began in 1931, and rst since Mary Lou
Retton in 1984. She also nished 15th in
voting for the AP sports story of the
year.
Douglas wasnt even in the conversa-
tion for the Olympic title at the begin-
ning of the year. That all changed in
March when she upstaged reigning
world champion and teammate Jordyn
Wieber at the American Cup in New
York, showing off a new vault, an
ungraded uneven bars routine and a daz-
zling personality that would be a hit on
Broadway and Madison Avenue.
She nished a close second to Wieber
at the U.S. championships, then beat her
two weeks later at the Olympic trials.
With each competition, her condence
grew. So did that smile.
By the time the Americans got to
London, Douglas had emerged as the
most consistent gymnast on what was
arguably the best team the U.S. has ever
had.
She posted the teams highest score on
all but one event in qualifying.

Raiders most productive defensive line-
men while nudging out starter Matt
Shaughnessy for playing time.
What Carter doesnt have is a contract
for next season.
The seventh overall pick in 2001, who
enters Sundays game at Carolina eighth
among active players with 78 career
sacks, is one of 21 players on Oaklands
roster scheduled to become free agents
next season.
What the market will be for an aging
defensive lineman coming off a major
injury is uncertain, especially for one
who turns 34 next May.
Not that Carter seems too concerned
about it. At this stage in his career, sim-
ply being back on the eld and playing
is enough.
I tell everybody, I count my bless-
ings every day especially with this type
of injury, Carter said. Some guys
would probably hang it up. I came
across guys that just pushed through,
and I knew I could overcome it.
It wasnt easy.
The torn quadriceps muscle he sus-
tained against Denver on Dec. 18, 2011,
required eight months of immobiliza-
tion followed by extensive rehab.
Carter spoke with a few teams while
out of football but remained unem-
ployed until signing with the Raiders on
Sept. 27.
Since then, hes provided much-need-
ed leadership on a defensive line that
has been without its best player (defen-
sive tackle Richard Seymour) for the
past six weeks. Seymour will miss a
seventh consecutive game this week due
to a lingering hamstring injury.
You cant say enough about Andre,
said Oakland defensive coordinator
Jason Tarver, who was an assistant with
San Francisco during Carters ve sea-
sons with the 49ers from 2001-05.
Even when he was a rookie he was the
ultimate pro because you told him
something, he took it in, applied it, tried
it and then came back and gave you
feedback. That experience he brings in
there ... another voice to help your guys,
thats all he cares about is winning.
Thats not happened much this season
for the Raiders.
Oakland (4-10) is attempting to win
consecutive games for only the second
time this season. To do that, Carter and
his colleagues on the defensive line will
have to contain Carolina quarterback
Cam Newton.
Newton is easily the most elusive
quarterback the Raiders have faced this
season. He has been sacked 33 times
this season eighth most in the NFL
but needs only 53 rushing yards to
break the 700-yard mark for the second
straight year.
As good as Newton has been this sea-
son, Carter hopes his teammates dont
get too careful trying to contain
Carolinas speedy quarterback who has
been at his best when scrambling away
from pressure.
Those types of quarterbacks are dan-
gerous, Carter said. At the same time
you cant be tentative and not do your
job. Its very important to be disciplined
and communicate. If you do those
things then youll be successful.
Notes: Safety Tyvon Branch practiced
for the rst time this week but is ques-
tionable after being limited.
Its been an ongoing process. There was a lot of informa-
tion gathering going on. Once all the dust settled, thats what
came out, Shaw said following Stanfords nal on-campus
practice before breaking for the holidays and heading to the
Los Angeles area next week. We tried to make sure we did
the best service we could for Terrence, make sure that we
found out all the information we could. The Pac-12 and the
NCAA as well. And this is the nal result.
The 6-foot-2, 305-pound Stephens has been one of
Stanfords most vocal leaders. He anchors the defensive lines
run package, often clogging the middle to free up teammates
to ll the gaps and not usually his own statistics.
Stephens has 10 tackles, one sack and one forced fumble
this season. He also forced the win-clinching fumble by Curtis
McNeal in Stanfords 56-48 victory in triple overtime at
Southern California last year.
I love my team and the work weve all put in to get to this
point, Stephens wrote on Twitter. My situation is irrelevant.
Go to the Rose Bowl and cheer on a great team.
Stephens is scheduled to earn his psychology degree in the
spring. He also will participate in Stanfords pro day workouts
and any All-Star games he is invited to, Shaw said.
This is just a minor bump in the road, Shaw said. He
knew that it was a possibility. He was very disappointed. I was
disappointed for him. Hes one of those guys, hes a fourth-
year guy who came here with the goal to play in this game,
and hes done a lot of work to help us get there.
David Parry will make his third straight start in place of
Stephens when the eighth-ranked Cardinal (11-2) face the Big
Ten champion Badgers (8-5) in Pasadena on Jan. 1. Parry had
ve tackles, a sack and a pass deection in the 35-17 win at
UCLA in the season nale. He had one tackle in Stanfords
27-24 victory in the title game rematch against the Bruins at
Stanford Stadium on Nov. 30.
Parry expressed sympathy for his friend and teammate.
Hes handling it about as good as anybody else could. Hes
praying a little bit, leaning on his friends around him for sup-
port, Parry said.

Panthers QB Newton
looks to stay hot vs. Raiders
CHARLOTTE Cam Newton is
on a torrid pace and the Carolina
Panthers are headed toward another
strong nish they hope will save
coach Ron Riveras job.
The second-year QB is in the best
stretch of his young NFL career with
13 combined
touchdowns and
no interceptions
in the past ve
games.
The suddenly
hot Panthers (5-
9) have won
three of their last
four and look for their rst three-
game winning streak since 2009
when they host the Oakland Raiders
on Sunday.
After a slow start, Newton is on
pace to nish with numbers that in
many categories are better than what
he put up last season as the AP
Offensive Rookie of the Year. Hes
thrown for 3,451 yards with 18
touchdown passes and 10 intercep-
tions. Hes also run for a team-high
seven TDs.
He has really improved, especial-
ly with checking it down to the sec-
ond read or dumping it off to the
backs, or with getting the ball out of
harms way and throwing it out of
bounds, Panthers offensive coordi-
nator Rob Chudzinski said. Those
are the things that quarterbacks can
do to keep drives alive.

NCAA considering proposals to change recruiting
INDIANAPOLIS The NCAA released a package of pro-
posals Friday that would change the recruiting calendar, lift
restrictions on how and how often coaches can contact
recruits, and allow athletes to accept more money for partici-
pating in non-scholastic events.
All the proposals are expected to be voted on Jan. 19 at the
NCAAs annual convention near Dallas. If approved, they
could take effect Aug. 1.
This is the rst detailed glimpse into how the NCAA
intends to rewrite its massive rulebook and Jim Barker, chair-
man of the NCAA rules committee working on the plan, said
the goal is smarter rules and tougher enforcement.
If the package is approved, the overall result would provide
coaches with more leeway in recruiting. The hope is that ath-
letes will build more meaningful relationships with their
coaches, and they will get more opportunities to showcase
their skills in front of college and pro scouts.
Campus leaders are embracing the moves, too.

NHL players vote in step
toward dissolving union
TORONTO NHL players are a
step closer to dissolving their union.
NHL Players Association mem-
bers voted this week to give the
unions executive board the power
to le a disclaimer of interest
until Jan. 2, The Canadian Press
said Friday.
The news agency, citing an
unidentied source, said the vote
drew more than the two-thirds of the
required support. The union
declined comment, calling this an
internal matter.
If the executive board les the
disclaimer, the union would dis-
solve and become a trade associa-
tion. That would allow players to
le antitrust lawsuits against the
NHL.
Negotiations between the league
and union have been at a standstill
since talks ended Dec. 6. No bar-
gaining is scheduled, and time is
running short to save the season. All
games through Jan. 14 have been
canceled, more than half the season.
The New Years Day Winter Classic
and All-Star game already are vic-
tims of the lockout.
A new labor agreement would
need to be in place by about that
time to salvage a 48-game schedule,
the minimum in Commissioner
Gary Bettmans opinion for the sea-
son to proceed.
Sports brief
SPORTS 15
the division title, although hopes of a
division crown all but ended when the
49ers held on to beat New England last
week.
Sunday night provides an opportunity
for Seattle to prove its legitimacy. The
Seahawks three consecutive wins and
two 50-point outbursts caught the NFLs
attention. But those three victories came
against fading Chicago, Arizona and
Buffalo.
Beat the 49ers and Seattle becomes
one of those teams no one in the NFC
wants to see in the postseason.
In December you want to be the hot
team, San Francisco running back
Frank Gore said. We know that if we
get the win we can win the division.
Theyve been playing great. I think they
got better as a team each week since
they played us. We want to claim the
division and the playoffs.
The 49ers must avoid any letdown
from last weeks wild 41-34 win at New
England and solve Seattles impenetra-
ble home-field advantage. The
Seahawks are 6-0 at home, their last loss
at CenturyLink Field coming in Week
16 of 2011 to the 49ers.
Itll be Colin Kaepernicks rst ven-
ture into the loudest environment in the
NFL, another chance for Seattle QB
Russell Wilson to strengthen his late-
season surge into top offensive rookie
consideration, and another meeting
between coaches Pete Carroll and Jim
Harbaugh.
It feels good to know that youre
playing for something, 49ers line-
backer Patrick Willis said. We have a
playoff berth, but we want the division.
And we also want to have that rst-week
bye, and we know we have to win this
week rst.
The reunion of Harbaugh and Carroll
brings together a pair with similar
coaching beliefs and diametrically
opposite personalities. They share a love
of khakis, winning and not caring what
others think about their coaching styles.
The two coaches traded barbs this
week about not sharing Christmas cards
with one another. Undoubtedly there
wont be any birthday gifts waiting for
Harbaugh when he shows up at
CenturyLink Field even though he turns
49 Sunday.
I understand they didnt get our
Christmas card yet. I have to check the
list, Carroll joked this week.
While there are little similarities in the
demeanor of their coaches, there is no
denying after 15 weeks how much the
teams mirror each other.

SANTA CLARA San Francisco
49ers defensive tackle Ricky Jean
Francois has been preparing all week
to start in place of All-Pro Justin
Smith on the NFLs second-ranked
defense.
The 49ers
remain uncertain
whether that will
actually happen
Sunday night in a
NFC West show-
down against the
S e a t t l e

Smiths avail-
ability is in ques-
tion after he missed practice Friday
because of an elbow injury for the
third consecutive day, placing his
streak of 185 consecutive starts in
jeopardy.
The 49ers listed Smith as doubtful
on an injury report they submitted to
the NFL ofce Friday morning. He
was upgraded to questionable later in
the day, even though he didnt partic-

Seahawks cant afford drops in rematch with 49ers
RENTON, Wash. Drops.
A problem that plagued Seattles wide receivers in the past
hasnt been an issue for most of this season. The one time it
became a problem was in the Seahawks rst meeting against
the San Francisco 49ers in October. The two teams play again
Sunday night in Seattle in a key NFC game.
According to STATS LLC, the Seahawks have the fth-
fewest drops in the league this season.
Through 14 games Seattle has just 19
drops. The San Diego Chargers have the
fewest with 15. Last year, the Seahawks
were tied for 14th with 27 drops on the sea-
son.
Golden Tate was targeted three times
against the 49ers and didnt make a catch.
It was the only game this season when he didnt have a recep-
tion. Both of Tates drops this season came against San
Francisco. With Seattle holding a 6-3 lead, Tate bobbled a
third-down pass that would have kept the chains moving into
San Francisco territory early in the third quarter.
Backup running back Robert Turbin broke free behind the
49ers defense in the rst quarter for what would have been a
big gain and possibly a touchdown. But the pass slid through
his ngers.
In a game decided by just a touchdown, the missed chances
proved costly for the Seahawks.

by his medical condition.
Rodney Corsiglia, 49, is also charged with
felony drunk driving, gross vehicular
manslaughter with intoxication and misde-
meanor driving on a suspended license along
with the second-degree murder charges.
Corsiglia has pleaded not guilty but was
held to answer Friday after a two-day pre-
liminary hearing with several witnesses. At
the same hearing, a motion to grant
Corsiglia bail was also denied and he
remains in custody.
In charging murder, prosecutors pointed
not only to Corsiglias lack of license but
also a lengthy record of seven crashes in the
last decade linked to his medical condition,
including two on the same day. Corsiglia
reportedly suffers petite mal seizures for
which his license was permanently suspend-
ed in 2011.
On July 28, Corsiglia, a retired custodian
from San Bruno, was driving east on Sneath
Lane at approximately 12:15 p.m. when he
reportedly crashed into several other east-
bound cars halted at a stoplight at El Camino
Real. The two who died, cousins Arnulfo
Picazo, 39, of San Bruno, and Usbaldo
Picazo Gomez, 37, of South San Francisco,
were on their way to pick up beverages for a
baptism celebration. Two others, an adult
and a 9-year-old boy, were also hospitalized
with serious injuries. The deaths of Picazo
and Gomez left five children fatherless.
Between 2002 and 2011, Corsiglia had
seven traffic accidents. Six were between
2007 and 2011 and all were reported to
involve speeding and seizures. One day in
2007, Corsiglia reportedly left one Redwood
City accident that injured three to rent a new
car. A few hours later in San Bruno, he
reportedly ran a stop sign and broadsided a
car with two passengers before running off
an embankment and into a tree.
He also has three prior convictions for
driving on a suspended license and a couple
DUIs. In 2004, while on probation for an
earlier domestic violence conviction,
Corsiglia was convicted by a jury of striking
his girlfriend with a telephone receiver. The
defense claimed Corsiglia was unconscious
at the time due to intoxication and seizures.
Corsiglia appears in Superior Court Jan.
11 to enter a plea and possibly set a trial
date.

THEFT
Forrest was booked into the San Mateo
County Jail yesterday afternoon on a ash
incarceration in which a person can be held up
to 10 days. Ofcials could not conrm that
warrants were served at Forrests county
ofce Thursday night.
The U.S. Postal Service Inspection Service
is the lead agency in the investigation and is
being assisted by the FBI, said U.S. Postal
Service spokeswoman Pauline Bellinger.
Postal Service inspectors investigate material
that is sent through the mail.
The case is active and may be turned over to
the U.S. Attorneys Ofce, Bellinger said.
They are taking the case and are in the
process of working on it, she said.
Forrest began his career in 1976 as a group
supervisor at the countys juvenile hall, was
formally appointed chief probation ofcer in
April 2009 after recommendation by a search
committee of judges Robert Foiles and Marta
Diaz. Following his time with the juvenile
hall, Forrest oversaw the departments adult
division between 1990 and 1998 and since
1998 has served as deputy chief.
He replaced Loren Buddress who retired
just months prior following an 18-year
career with San Mateo County. Buddress
retired after a rocky year in which under his
watch a teenage murder defendant escaped
from juvenile hall with the help of two
other wards and another teenager walked
away from a detention camp and was
arrested for a subsequent murder.
Forrest is also the president of the World
Martial Arts Union and teaches in San
Francisco, according to
koreanmartialarts.com. The site also reports
he has trained in martial arts for more than 30
years and was formerly the head instructor in
defensive tactics training for peace ofcers.
FORREST
By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON Fresh signs of a
strengthening U.S. economy on Friday sug-
gested that if Congress and the White House
can avert the scal cliff, the economic
recovery might nally accelerate in 2013.
Consumers spent and earned more in
November. And for a second straight month,
U.S. companies increased their orders for a
category of manufactured goods that reects
investment plans.
In light of the latest gures, some analysts
said the economy could end up growing faster
in the current October-December quarter
and next year than they previously thought.
I see momentum building, said Joel
Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic
Advisors. If Washington makes the moves it
needs to make, then the economy should pick
up speed next year.
Thats a big if. House Republicans called
off a vote on tax rates and left budget talks in
disarray 10 days before the package of tax
increases and spending cuts known as the s-
cal cliff would take effect.
Still, helping lift the optimism of some ana-
lysts was a government report that consumer
spending, which fuels about 70 percent of the
economy, rose 0.4 percent in November com-
pared with October. Spending had dipped 0.1
percent in October. But that decline was
linked in part to disruptions from Superstorm
Sandy.
Incomes rose 0.6 percent in November, the
biggest gain in 11 months. It reected a
rebound in wages and salaries, which had
been depressed in October. Damage from
Sandy in the Northeast prevented some peo-
ple from working at the end of October and
reduced wages at an annual rate of $18 bil-
lion.
A separate report Friday showed that a cat-
egory of durable-goods orders that tracks
business investment surged 2.7 percent. That
gain followed an upwardly revised 3.2 percent
jump in October, the biggest in 10 months.
Economists suggest recovery if scal cliff can be averted

They can often

on street corners
or converging in
parks, holding
the aforemen-

and over-priced

nothing. They wear the clothes of
another era, garments which were
supposed to assume are vintage, but
probably cost more than $50 at

debates, converse about the perils
of society and hate on just about
everyone and anything. Above all,
though, they just dont care.
Just as the rst rule of ght club

rst rule of hipster is to never talk
about being a hipster. Hipsters
know never to discuss other hip-
sters unless they are criticizing
them or distancing themselves as
much as possible from them. The
second rule of hipster, which may
just be the most important one, is to
deny. Always, always deny hipster-
like qualities. Never, ever, admit to
being a hipster. Never, ever, admit
to liking or even being able to toler-
ate hipsters. To do so would be to
admit to caring about the way hip-
sters are perceived, which as any
good hipster knows, is something
that must never be admitted.

On the Road
Film paved with good intentions
By Jake Coyle
Walter Salles On the Road was
made with noble intentions, nely-
crafted filmmaking and handsome
casting, but, alas, it does not burn,
burn, burn.
Salles, the Brazilian lmmaker of
The Motorcycle Diaries and
Central Station, would seem the per-
fect director to translate to the screen
Jack Kerouacs poetry of the road. But
this On the Road, the rst ever big-
screen adaption of the Beat classic,
doesnt pulse with the electric,
mad rush of Kerouacs
feverish phenomenon.
Salles approached the
book with reverence and
deep research, and per-

WEEKEND JOURNAL
Times on this subject, writer Christy
Wampole discusses how, by projecting to the
world an air of nonchalance, hipsters are
really only trying to protect themselves from
any judgment. Its a defense mechanism
many in my generation are learning to use.
By denying that they may actually care about
anything, mostly how they are perceived,
hipsters are removing themselves from direct
judgment. Who they pretend to be is not who
they are, thus any judgments made about
them are not truly judgments about them,
just judgments on who they appear to be.
To be a hipster is to put on a mask. It
involves massive amounts of irony to keep
from ever feeling anything. It has been
hypothesized that there are two responses to
tragedy: sadness and laughter. The former
involves being in touch with ones feelings,
surroundings and the current situation. The
latter can be done in much simpler terms,
and only really involves an avoidance of the
truth.
There is nothing wrong with irony. Its
hilarious. It can be confusing, subtle, point-
blank and even soothing. But when irony
takes over every aspect of ones life, seeping
into appearances, speech and human interac-
tions, it can become a problem. No longer is
irony a tool used by witty and talented come-
dians or that kid in your English class who
always makes interesting points while subtly
insulting at least three people. Irony is
becoming a way of life. Even more, its
becoming a way to avoid life.
So why is this generation trying so desper-
ately to avoid caring, or at the very least to
avoid letting anyone gure out that they
care? It makes things easier. Its also a form
of rebellion. My generation wants to stand
out. We want to be known for something.
And since its easier to rebel with a cause
than without one, were picking up on any-
thing we can get. It may have been better to
have loved and lost than to never have loved
at all, but the hipsters beg to differ. Theyre
an entire subculture of people who have
adopted the belief that to love and lose would
be the epitome of awful. So instead, they
avoid, deny and mask any and all symptoms
of caring through a faade of ambivalence,
annoyance and superiority.

suffocated by respectfulness. The late 40s
period detail, shot by cinematographer Eric
Gautier, is lush, and there is surely a very
attractive montage that could be pulled from
the lm.
But if anything has made On the Road so
beloved, its not its artful composition, but its
yearning: the urgent passion of its characters
to break free of themselves and postwar
America and feel the freedom of the road.
Salles captures the backpacks slung over
hitchhiker shoulders, the rushing scenery out
the car window, the sound of a dirt road
underfoot. But his lm, from the screenplay
by Motorcycle Diaries writer Jose Rivera,
ultimately feels conventional: too neatly pack-
aged and too affectedly acted.
As our Dean Moriarty, Kerouacs stand-in
for Neal Cassady, Garrett Hedlund (Tron)
gives his all in an ultimately failed attempt to
find Moriartys wild magnetism within him.
As the center of the book and the film the
Gatsby to our narrator Sal Paradise (Sam
Riley) hes crucial to On the Road
working. But hes missing the mythical spark
of Moriarty and the grit of someone who
grew up on the streets of Denver, stealing
cars.
Its worth noting how impossible a task this
is, to translate On the Road or make esh
Moriarty. Many have tried but its no coinci-
dence that its taken this long for a lm ver-
sion. Certainly, we can lament that we dont
instead have an On the Road with James
Dean or Marlon Brando, both of whom once
considered it.
Imagine what Judd Apatow would do with
On the Road, a bromance if there ever was
one. There are so many brotherly hugs and
arms ung across shoulders in the lm that
youd swear you were watching European
soccer.
Paradise and Moriarty make a series of
crisscrossing trips across the country, bound
in a brotherhood of travel. Paradise, Kerouacs
stand-in, is forever jotting down notes while
Moriarty jumps from one woman to another.

Sturridge) is there, too, enamored and in love
with Moriarty, while sharing the intellectual
ambitions of Paradise.
Salles has focused particularly on the car-
nality of Kerouacs tale, and it threatens to
overtake the lm. As Moriartys rst wife,
Marylou, Kristen Stewarts slinky sensuality
briey dominates the movie, but her character
is never developed beyond her sexy bohemia.
Better are the cameos of women left by the
wayside. Kirsten Dunst, in a few scenes as
Moriartys heartbroken second wife, Camille,
makes a stronger impression than anyone.
Elisabeth Moss, too, excels as a forgotten
woman. She shouts: They dumped me in
Tucson! In Tucson!
The women of On the Road, afterthoughts
in the book, have more re than the men.
Viggo Mortensen, Steve Buscemi, Terrence
Howard and Amy Adams make cameos, most-
ly suggesting the prestige of the project. In the
end, On the Road remains paved over.
On the Road, an IFC Films and Sundance
Selects release, is rated R for strong sexual
content, drug use and language. Running
time: 123 minutes. Two stars out of four.
ROAD
By Mark Stevenson
MERIDA, Mexico Dec. 21 started out as
the prophetic day some had believed would
usher in the ery end of the world. By Friday
afternoon, it had become the punch line of
countless Facebook posts and at least several
dozen T-shirts.
At the ruins of the ancient Mayan city of
Chichen Itza, thousands chanted, danced and
otherwise frolicked around ceremonial res and
pyramids to mark the conclusion of a vast,
5,125-year cycle in the Mayan calendar.
The doomsayers who had predicted apoca-
lypse were nowhere to be seen. Instead, people
showed up in T-shirts reading The End of the
World: I Was There.
Vendors eager to sell their ceramic handi-
crafts and wooden masks called out to passing
visitors, Buy something before the world
ends.
And on Twitter, #EndoftheWorld had
become one of the days most popular hash
tags.
For the masses in the ruins, Dec. 21 sparked
celebration of what they saw as the birth of a
new and better age. It was also inspiration for
massive clouds of patchouli and marijuana
smoke and a chorus of conch calls at the break
of dawn.
The boisterous crowd included Buddhists,
pagan nature worshippers, druids and followers
of Aztec and Maya religious traditions. Some
kneeled in attitudes of prayer, some seated with
arms outstretched in positions of meditation, all
facing El Castillo, the massive main pyramid.
Ceremonies were being held at different sides
of the pyramid, including one led by a music
group that belted out American blues and reg-
gae-inspired chants. Others involved yelping
and shouting, and drumming and dance, such as
one ceremony led by spiritual master Ollin
Yolotzin.
The world was never going to end, this was
an invention of the mass media, said Yolotzin,
who leads the Aztec ritual dance group Cuautli-
balam. It is going to be a good era. ... We are
going to be better.
Ivan Gutierrez, a 37-year-old artist who lives
in the nearby village, stood before the pyramid
and blew a low, sonorous blast on a conch horn.
It has already arrived, we are already in it, he
said of the new era. We are in a frequency of
love, we are in a new vibration.
But it was unclear how long the love would
last: A security guard quickly came over and
asked him to stop blowing his conch shell,
enforcing the ruin sites ban on holding cere-
monies without previous permits.
Similar rites greeted the new era in neighbor-
ing Guatemala, where Mayan spiritual leaders
burned offerings and families danced in cele-
bration. Guatemalan President Otto Perez
Molina and Costa Rican President Laura
Chinchilla attended an ofcial ceremony in the
department of Peten, along with thousands of
revelers and artists.
Hot spots draw believers, but not doomsday

LITCHFIELD, Minn. Dozens
of Minnesota Scandinavians and the
people who love them ock to the
VFW Club in Litchfield every
Thursday from November through
January, where a $20 bill will get
you a big steaming hunk of the fre-
quently mocked sh dish known as
lutesk. It comes with meatballs,
mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce
and the potato atbread known as
lefse all of which helps to make
up for the dubious entree.
Butter helps it slide down your
throat, said Dennis Voss, the hus-
band of a Norwegian-American,
revealing his own survival secret for
stomaching the gelatinous blob as
they dined with friends on lutesk
amid a bustling lunchtime crowd.
Americas rising foodie culture
has inspired a new generation of
chefs and adventurous eaters who
have mined ethnic and antiquated
food traditions to create gourmet
delicacies. Even Scandinavian cui-
sine, not usually considered the
most savory, is sharing the spotlight.
Its winning plaudits at restaurants
from Minneapoliss nationally rec-
ognized Bachelor Farmer to
Copenhagens world-renowned
Noma, where globe-trotting diners
wait months for reservations.
But lutesk, a dried white cod
reconstituted in caustic chemicals,
is one heritage dish that has
remained stubbornly unimproved.
Yet it lives on in places where peo-
ple of Scandinavian descent are
numerous.
A list of churches, Scandinavian
cultural gatherings, restaurants and
clubs that serve lutesk runs to 22
pages on one website dedicated to
the dish, showcasing sites in
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, the
Dakotas, Montana, Washington as
well as snowbird outposts like
Arizona and Florida.
Every year come the holidays, a
loyal legion shows up to partake.
While their ancestors needed hardy
food that wouldnt spoil, lutesk
fanciers agree the reason to eat it
now is less obvious or entirely
lost on most people.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2012
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If a loved one
comes to you for some advice, strive to be as frank
and forthright as possible. It does no good to merely
tell the person what you think he or she wants to
hear.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The possibility for
success is pretty good, provided you see everything
you take on through to the desired conclusion. Dont
get careless and leave anything up to chance.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Even if you feel you
need to soothe the pride of an egotistical friend,
dont attempt to use fattery. Sincerity will produce
far better results.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- The end results
arent likely to be too desirable if you work only
along the lines of least resistance. That which
appears to be simple and easy could be infested
with complications.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Tell it like it is if you
hope to win the respect of your contemporaries. If
you gild the lily now, it will only give your listeners
cause to doubt your future statements.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Generally, and
under most conditions, you are a reasonably good
manager of your resources. This quality, however,
is likely to be absent today at present. Be as careful
as you can.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Be satisfed with a
small but handy return from an investment that
youre only tangentially involved in. If you press for
more, itll give the powers that be cause to wonder if
you deserve anything.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- That which you ignore
will only require more attention later, so take your
responsibilities and duties seriously. Things will only
get harder in every way if you slack off.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Ignoring certain people at a
social gathering will not only breed resentment, but
cause observers to question if youre just being nice
to those who can do you some good.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Youll attract admirers
more readily by accentuating your more modest
virtues, while famboyance could prove to be
counterproductive. Make a wise choice.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It would be wise not to
take anything for granted, even in situations where
you are usually lucky. Dame Fortune is rather fckle
at this time, and may not like you calling the shots.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You might fnd
yourself in two situations that simultaneously offer
some great opportunities. If its diffcult to handle
both at the same time, focus on the best one frst
.
