CALIFORNIA OFFICIALS UNVEIL $24.7 BILLION PLAN

WASHINGTON Fully 20 percent of
U.S. adults become rich for parts of their
lives, wielding extensive influence over
Americas economy and politics, according
to new survey data.
These new rich, made up largely of older
professionals, working married couples and
more educated singles, are becoming politi-
cally inuential, and economists say their
capacity to spend is key to the U.S. eco-
nomic recovery. But their rise is also a sign
of the nations continuing economic polar-
ization.
They extend well beyond the wealthiest 1
percent, a traditional group of super-rich
millionaires and billionaires with long-
held family assets. The new rich have
household income of $250,000 or more at
some point during their working lives, put-
ting them if sometimes temporarily in
the top 2 percent of earners.
The new survey data on the afuent are
being published in an upcoming book, and
an analysis by The AP-NORC Center for
Public Affairs Research provided additional
information on the views of the group.
In a country where poverty is at a record
high, todays new rich are notable for their
sense of economic fragility. They rely on
income from their work to maintain their
social position and pay for things such as
private tutoring for their children. That
makes them much more scally conserva-
tive than other Americans, polling sug-
gests, and less likely to support public pro-
grams, such as food stamps or early public
education, to help the disadvantaged.

January-like weather barged in a month early. The storm covered parts of
North Texas in ice over the weekend and then moved East. Below-zero
temperatures crowned the top of the U.S. from Idaho to Minnesota, where
many roads still had an inch-thick plate of ice,polished smooth by trafc and
impervious to ice-melting chemicals, making intersections an adventure.
Many travelers wished they were home,and people in homes without power
wished they were somewhere else. More than 22,000 Dallas-area homes and
businesses were still without power on Monday.

Michaels Arts and Crafts will be allowed to relocate from
its Delaware Street location to the former Borders bookstore
on El Camino Real, as the San Mateo City Council voted
unanimously with certain conditions to uphold its appeal of
a previous Planning Commission denial last night.
Michaels and 1998 Books Holdings LLC, approached the
council with adjustments to its proposal that would include
23,818 square feet of retail space, a 1,450-square-foot caf
and 864 square feet of art studios and classrooms.
I think its exciting. Weve been so honored to serve the
community for so many years and see the children who come
to the store grow up to the adults we serve today, said Judy
Quye, vice president of Michaels stores in California.

At age 25, Reuben Holober will be
sworn into Millbrae City Council
tonight.
The young new councilman was
elected alongside appointed incumbent
Anne Oliva to ll the two open seats.
Oliva was appointed to the council in
June after the death of Nadia Holober,
former councilwoman and Reuben
Holobers mother. Mayor Gina Papan
is termed out. Reuben Holober is also
son of Richard Holober, a longtime
member of the San Mateo County
Community College District Board of
Trustees.
He has a lot to look forward to,
said Papan. The city of Millbrae has a
brilliant future ahead.
Reuben Holober, who received a
degree in political science and commu-
nication at the University of
Washington, said its certainly differ-
ent to be younger on a council.
Im ready for the task and spent time
on the campaign trail getting to know
the issues of the city well, he said.
Everyone was very receptive to me.
Being a little younger gives me a dif-
ferent perspective than some of other
councilmembers. It is difcult for peo-
ple my age trying to make it in the

S.F. police looking
for alleged puppy thief
SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco
police say they are on the lookout for a
man who allegedly pepper-sprayed two
homeless people before stealing their
6-week-old puppy near Buena Vista
Park.
Ofcer Gordon Shyy says the victims
were asleep in a van parked on Buena
Vista Avenue West at about 6 a.m.
Friday when someone began loudly
knocking on the door.
The man told the victims that he was
a police ofcer, Shyy says, but when
they opened the door and asked to see
his credentials, he pepper-sprayed them
and grabbed the puppy.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports
that the victims, a woman and a man,
were temporarily blinded and didnt see
where the man ed.
Police are also looking for the dog,
which is an American pit bull and
Rhodesian Ridgeback mix.
California man gets
five years in sextortion case
LOS ANGELES A 27-year-old
Southern California man who admitted
hacking into hundreds of social media
and email accounts to get women to
pose naked for him has been sentenced
to ve years in federal prison.
City News Service reports Karen
Gary Kazaryan of Glendale was imme-
diately taken into custody after his sen-
tencing Monday.
In July, Kazaryan pleaded guilty to
one count each of identity theft and
unauthorized access of a protected com-
puter.
Prosecutors say Kazaryan illegally
accessed the accounts and found nude
photos and personal passwords that
women had stored online. He then
posed as a friend, persuading them to
strip while he watched via Skype, cap-
tured images of them, or both.
Once the women learned of the ploy,
he often threatened to post their private
photos if they refused to comply.
Human skull found
at Sonoma County park
WINDSOR Sonoma County
Sheriffs ofcials are scouring the site
where human remains were discovered
over the weekend.
Assistant Sheriff Lorenzo Duenas said
deputies were back at Shiloh Regional
Park in Windsor on Monday morning, a
day after a man walking with his two
children reported nding a skull and a
tennis shoe in a creek bed there.
Deputies conrmed it was human.
They also spotted other skeletal
remains under leaves in the area.
Dog found in Arizona
reunited with California family
PRESCOTT, Ariz. A California
family has its dog back, a year and a half
after it went missing while the family
was camping in western Arizona.
The Daily Courier reports that the
family of James and Dana OBrien of
San Juan Capistrano was reunited with
Meko, a 4-year-old Brussels Griffon,
Meko had wandered off from the fami-
lys tent at a campground in Parker on
the Fourth of July weekend in 2012,
apparently taken by a man who also was
in the campground.
The dog was found last month along a
highway in the Prescott area, about 100
miles from Parker. The Yavapai County
Humane Society determined his fami-
lys identity through an implanted
microchip.
The reunion was particularly pleasing
for 7-year-old Mady OBrien, who was
diagnosed with a brain tumor in May.
Legal battle over
Nazi-seized masterpiece revived
SAN FRANCISCO A federal
appeals court has resurrected a Jewish
familys long legal battle to regain
ownership of a $20 million masterpiece
seized in Nazi Germany during World
War II.
In a ruling Monday, the 9th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated a
California law allowing lawsuits over
art ownership disputes dating back as
far as 100 years. The decision reversed a
lower court ruling that invalidated the
law.
At issue is an impressionistic paint-
ing by Lilly Cassirer exchanged in
1939 for about $360 and a visa to ee
Nazi Germany.

Schools across the county yesterday
kicked off Computer Science Education
Week with programs encouraging students
to code.
Roosevelt Elementary School in
Burlingame is participating by having stu-
dents in grades kindergarten through fth-
grade work on lessons and activities based
around the skill of computer coding.
Principal Matthew Pavao said the week
works as an introduction to programming
and is also fun for the students. Lessons are
on a program called Scratch and another
called Light-bot.
Its going to be a major part of the world
and where jobs are, he said. It helps them
work on their critical thinking skills too.
The week was conceived by the
Computing in the Core coalition and
Code.org, a nonprot foundation dedicated
to expanding and improving computer sci-
ence education for all students in kinder-
garten to 12th-grade. Both are producing
the week nationwide for the rst time this
year. It is held this week in recognition of
the birthday of computing pioneer Admiral
Grace Murray Hopper, who was born Dec. 9,
1906. It has the support of businessman and
philanthropist Bill Gates, Facebooks Mark
Zuckerberg and former President Bill
Clinton.
Back at Roosevelt, third-grade teacher
Christy Novack is currently teaching her
students using iPads through Light-bot,
online puzzle and skill games that teach
about programming.
We want to encourage kids to start think-
ing and understanding how coding works,
she said. Jobs in tech are going to become
more important.
In fact, according to a report by the
Georgetown University Center on Education
and the Workforce four of the ve fastest-
growing occupations in 2020 will require
high levels of postsecondary education in
elds such as health care and technical occu-
pations; science, technology, engineering
and math; education and community servic-
es.
These Peninsula schools, along with
schools in 45 other states, are grappling
with new Common Core curriculum. These
new standards shift to more project-based
learning, with more of an emphasis on stu-
dents using technology in classrooms. The
tests associated with these changes, Smarter
Balance testing, align with these new stan-
dards, and go into effect during the 2014-15
school year.
Meanwhile, Burlingame High School is
hosting its own events this week, including
a speech from 2013 TED Talks keynote
speaker Keller Rinaudo, founder and CEO of
Romotive, at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the high
schools auditorium, 1 Mangini Way.
Additionally, the San Bruno Education
Foundation, San Bruno Park Elementary
School District and other groups will
host an hour of code event noon.-2 p.m.
Sunday, Dec. 15 for those age 5 and up at
Parkside Middle School, 1801 Niles
Road in San Bruno. Its $5 with a lunch
included and aims to demystify program-
ming through tutorials.
As part of the week, State Superintendent
Tom Torlakson participated yesterday in a
school assembly at Westborough Middle
School in the South San Francisco Unied
School District to kick off the districts
events. Torlakson presented a $10,000
check to the school from
DonorsChoose.org. The prize is intended to
go toward technology allowing students to
expand their education in computer science.
Students in the district will each have an
hour of coding lessons this week.
Hopefully its going to get the kids
interested in computer science, said
Principal Ed Colucci. And learning to
problem solve and getting them to apply
some of their lessons as we do the Common
Core. Kids are really excited about it.
Founding partners of the week include
Google, Microsoft and the National Science
Teachers Association, while major promo-
tional partners include Apple, Bing,
Dropbox and LinkedIn.
In addition to the schools events this
week, the education startup Codecademy
released an iPhone app called Codecademy:
Hour of Code, which helps iPhone owners
learn the basics of coding in under one hour
through a set of quick demonstrations and
exercises designed to be completed in short
bursts throughout the day. Codeacademys
website teaches people to code in languages
including JavaScript, HTML/CSS, Python
and Ruby.

A San Mateo neighborhood
meeting regarding the redevelop-
ment of the Hillsdale Inn will be
held Thursday at Ci ty Hall.
The developer Barry Swenson
Builder is proposing to turn the
477 E. Hillsdale Blvd. site into 180
residential condominiums made up
of three- and four-story buildings as well as a 330-space
parking garage.
The meeting is 7:30 p.m. at City Hall in conference
room C, 330 W. 20th Ave., San Mateo.
The San Mateo Pl anni ng Commi ssi on will be
holding a study session to accept public comment regard-
ing the development Tuesday, Jan. 28.
The Redwood Ci ty Pl anni ng Commi ssi on will
hold a hearing to certify the environmental impact report
and consider a use permit for the Cambridge Academy
project for up to 180 students and 20 employees. The
academy will be a transitional kindergarten through
eighth-grade private school at the Redwood Baptist
Churc h at 2323 and 232 Euclid Ave. The predominant
neighborhood concerns raised at earlier meetings are
existing trafc and safety worries and noise.
At the same meeting, the commission will consider
amending the planned community permit for the One
Marina project. The Pl anni ng Commi ssi on previ-
ously approved a total of 231 units but after building the
rst two 14-unit auto court buildings, the three-story
townhome units were found to be less likely to sell. In
June, the commission agreed to let the remaining build-
ings be changed into 16-unit structures with stacked ats
instead. The new permit reflecting the changes will
increase the overall number of units to 249.
The Planning Commission meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec.
10 at City Hall, 1017 Middleeld Road, Redwood City.

The alleged Norteo gangmember
accused of starting a shoving match
that ended with the fatal shooting of a
man mistaken for a rival because of his
blue jacket avoided a murder trial by
pleading no contest to felony mayhem.
Mario Cazarez Jr., 20, also admitted
acting on behalf of a gang in return for
no sentencing promises. However,
prosecutors plan to recommend a 14-
year term when Cazarez is sentenced
Feb. 7.
Cazarezs resolution is quite different
than that of Michael Elijah Rodriguez,
21, who actually shot Julio Pantoja
Cuevas several times and is looking at
life in prison without parole after being
convicted last month of rst-degree
murder. Co-defendant Jaime Rodriguez,
22, pleaded no contest in early October
to rst-degree murder
and a special gang
enhancement in
return for a at 26-
year term when sen-
tenced in January.
On Nov. , 28,
2010, Cuevas was
allegedly visiting
three female friends
at a Madison Avenue
apartment complex
in Redwood City wearing a navy blue
jacket. Cazarez and both Rodriguezes,
no relation, allegedly approached
Cuevas and challenged him about what
gang he claimed. After a shoving match
led by Cazarez, Michael Rodriguez
allegedly pulled a gun and shot him sev-
eral times. Cuevas ran down an alley
where he fell and died and the suspects
ed in the opposite direction.
Cazarez and Michael Rodriguez were
arrested the day after the shooting.
Jaime Rodriguez remained at large until
June 2011 when he was arrested in
Santa Fe, N.M., for a domestic dispute
in a casino.
On Nov. 25, a jury deliberated less
than three hours before convicting
Michael Rodriguez. On top of the life
term, he also faces another 25 years to
life for the use of a rearm. He will be
sentenced Jan. 13.
All the men remain in custody with-
out bail.
Another defendant, Gerardo Aboytes,
21, also accepted a plea deal and
received 17 years in prison for may-
hem, perjury and assault with a deadly
weapon. Aboytes was not physically at
the scene when Cuevas was shot but
called his alleged accomplices to alert
them to the presence of possible gang
rivals, according to prosecutors. He
was tied to the case after testifying
before the grand jury and later indicted.
Ex-San Diego mayor
sentenced for harassment
SAN DIEGO When he was mayor
of San Diego, Bob Filner waited to be
alone with women to kiss, grope and
manhandle them without any witness-
es, according to a probation ofcers
report released after he was sentenced
Monday to home connement.
Filner, 71, apologized and told the
judge he would try to earn the trust of
those he betrayed and recover his
integrity a sharp contrast to his
deant resignation speech nearly four
months ago in which he said he was
the victim of a lynch mob.
His attorney Jerry Coughlan said
Filner dropped mood-altering medica-
tions when he became mayor. That,
combined with the stress of leading
the nations eighth-largest city, sub-
stantially contributed to Filners
behavior, Coughlan wrote to the
judge.

four-year term with credit of 348 days
while Luis Martinez Trujillo received a
seven-year stint with credit of 324 days.
Both men pleaded no contest on different
August days to one count of home inva-
sion robbery and admitted using a gun and
committing a crime against an elderly vic-
tim. The negotiated plea deal spared them
trial on other charges like kidnapping.
The incident happened Feb. 7 just before
noon when police responded to the 900
block of 10th Avenue on the report of a
robbery in progress. The victim told
authorities a female she recognized from
the church came to her residence on Feb. 7
and left after a brief interaction. Shortly
later, two hooded men
armed with a semi-auto-
matic pistol arrived and
pointed the weapon at
her head. A man later
identified as Martinez
gathered up property in a
pillow case and, after
approximately an hour
of pointing the weapon
at the woman, moved
her 25 feet to a separate
bedroom and closed the door. The woman
called her daughter who contacted police
and Martinez was caught trying to leave.
Officers also identified the other two who
were later tracked to Mexicali, Mexico,
and arrested.
The girl was never charged in the case.
Trujillo has been in custody in lieu of
$35,000 bail and Martinez held on
$100,000 bail.
They both also return to court Jan. 10 for
a restitution hearing.
Court to consider
Californias DNA collection law
SAN FRANCISCO The constitutionali-
ty of Californias controversial law mandat-
ing the collection of DNA samples from all
arrestees whether theyre charged with a
crime or not was at issue Monday at a spe-
cially convened hearing of 11 federal
appeals court judges.
California Attorney General Kamala
Harris and the Obama administration are urg-
ing the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to
reject the American Civil Liberties Union
legal challenge to the law, arguing the col-
lection of DNAsamples during the booking
process is a simple cheek swab and a power-

Guilty verdict in
California city corruption trial
LOS ANGELES Aformer ofcial in the
Los Angeles suburb of Bell was convicted of
corruption Monday in a case that drove the
city to the brink of bankruptcy.
Jurors found former Assistant City

charges, including conspiracy, misappro-
priating public funds, falsification of
government records and conflict of inter-
est.
Spaccia was acquitted of hiding a public
document involving the police chiefs con-

Home invaders imprisoned
Jovanni
Martinez
By Jason Dearen
SAN FRANCISCO California water of-
cials on Monday released a draft of a $24.7
billion plan to restore the Sacramento-San
Joaquin Delta, in part by building two 30-
mile underground tunnels to ensure stable
water delivery to millions of Californians.
The joint federal and state Bay Delta
Conservation Plan, or BDCP, and environ-
mental impact analysis comes after seven
years of study, and includes plans for build-
ing the tunnels and completing signicant
habitat restoration work to improve the
delivery of mountain snowmelt to Central
Valley farms and cities throughout the state.
At the heart of the 50-year plan unveiled
last summer by Gov. Jerry Brown are the
twin tunnels with a 9,000-cubic-feet-per-
second capacity that would replace the
deltas current pumping system that endan-
gers sh and other wildlife.
Currently, the State Water Project and
Central Valley Project pump water from the
delta to 25 million people and three million
acres of farmland.
But that supply has been interrupted in
recent years, as salmon and smelt numbers
declined in delta rivers, and federal regulators
limited the amount of water that could be
pumped from the delta.
Water ofcials believe creating an alterna-
tive delivery method from the pumps and
restoring more than 100,000 acres of new
habitat above ground will help the sh
rebound and keep the water owing to cus-
tomers.
The plan also outlines how ofcials would
conduct research and implement monitoring
during and after construction of the tunnels
to study the projects effect on dozens of
plant and animal species.
State water ofcials also say the ambitious
project would generate billions of dollars in
jobs, especially in construction, in the delta
region.
The release kicks off 120 days of public
comment on the plan and environmental
analysis.
By meeting the states dual goals ... of
ecosystem restoration and water supply reli-
ability, we will stabilize and secure against
catastrophe the water deliveries that sustain
our homes, jobs, and farms, and do so in a
way that not only protects but enhances the
environment, said John Laird, Californias
natural resources secretary.
Funding for the roughly $16 billion tunnel
part of the project will come from the water
agencies that would benet most from it,
according to the state Department of Water
Resources. Those same agencies would pay
for maintenance and operation of the tunnel.
Amixture of federal and state money would
cover the remainder, including the possibil-
ity of general obligation bonds.
But critics of the plan say it would actually
harm sh and agriculture by siphoning off
more water from the estuary.
Dozens of conservation groups including
the Sierra Club have been steadfast in their
opposition, saying the project would ship
more water from the delta south and create
more environmental problems.
Conservationists say modern develop-
ments in water conservation and recycling
can be used to reduce demand from southern
California, and would be far more environ-
mentally friendly than the tunnel project.
We need a better plan for restoring the
delta environment and making sure
Californians all over the state get the water
they need, Kathryn Phillips, director of
Sierra Club California, said in a statement.
Jay Lund, director of University of
California, Davis Center for Watershed
Sciences, said the goal of the project is not
to increase the amount of water being sent to
thirsty cities and Central Valley farms, but to
make the conveyance less environmentally
damaging. Lund is one of the scientists
reviewing the governments plan.
This is really not about taking additional
water from other water users ... its just shift-
ing the place of diversion, Lund said. You
can never have no impact when doing (some-
thing like this), but youre changing the
impacts and transforming them for some-
thing thats less bad for the native sh.
And some other environmental groups are
supporting the effort, saying major changes
are needed to help restore the badly damaged
delta ecosystem.
The groups, including the Natural
Resources Defense Council and Nature
Conservancy, stopped short of giving for-
mal approval of the draft plan, saying they
are reviewing the some 34,000 pages to see
if previous concerns they raised were
addressed.

KIEV, Ukraine Heavily armed riot
troops broke into the ofces of a top
Ukrainian opposition party in Kiev
and seized its servers Monday, the
party said, as anti-government
protests crippled the capital for yet
another day.
Elsewhere police dismantled or
blocked off several small protest tent
camps that near key national govern-
ment buildings in the city.
Tensions also rose as a double cor-
don of helmeted, shield-holding police
deployed in the street near Kievs city
administration building, which
demonstrators had occupied and turned
into a makeshift command post and
dormitory.
The moves came a day after hundreds
of thousands of demonstrators
crammed into Kiev, the biggest in
three weeks of protests that started
when Ukraines president backed away
from signing a long -awaited pact to
deepen ties with the 28-nation
European Union.
Protesters are angered not only by
the thwarting of their desire to become
closer to the West and spin out of
Russias orbit, but also by police vio-
lence against the demonstrators. Club-
swinging police have twice broken up
protest rallies.
Ostap Semerak, a member of the
Fatherland Parry, told the Associated
Press that troops broke into the
partys ofces on Monday evening,
some climbing in through its win-
dows.
They are storming us. The images
are insane, he said by telephone.
The troops left after confiscating
some computer equipment, he said. An
Associated Press reporter later saw
broken glass and smashed computers
in the ofces.
Party member Marina Soroka also
said the troops surrounded and block-
aded several opposition-minded
Ukrainian media outlets, making their
and other media websites inaccessible.
The party is headed by imprisoned
former Prime Minister Yulia
Tymoshenko, a longstanding foe of
President Viktor Yanukovych, and is
the largest opposition grouping in the
parliament. Critics say Tymoshenkos
conviction on abuse of ofce charges
was a case of political revenge.
In a surprise move, Yanukovych
announced he would sit down with
three former Ukrainian presidents on
Tuesday to discuss a way out of the cri-
sis that has paralyzed the country.

LONDON American and British
intelligence operations have been
spying on gamers across the world,
media outlets reported, saying that the
worlds most powerful espionage
agencies sent undercover agents into
virtual universes to monitor activity
in online fantasy games such as
World of Warcraft.
Stories carried Monday by The New
York Times, the Guardian, and
ProPublica said U.S. and U.K. spies
have spent years trawling online
games for terrorists or informants. The
stories, based on documents leaked by
former National Security Agency con-
tractor Edward Snowden, offer an
unusual take on Americas world-span-
ning surveillance campaign, suggest-
ing that even the fantasy worlds popu-
lar with children, teens, and escapists
of all ages arent beyond the attention
of the NSAand its British counterpart,
GCHQ.
Virtual universes like World of
Warcraft can be massively popular,
drawing in millions of players who
log months worth of real-world time
competing with other players for
online glory, virtual treasure, and mag-
ical loot. At its height, World of
Warcraft boasted some 12 million
paying subscribers, more than the
population of Greece. Other virtual
worlds, like Linden Labs Second
Life or the various games hosted by
Microsofts Xbox home to the pop-
ular science ction-themed shoot-em-
up Halo host millions more.
Spy agencies have long worried that
such games serve as a good cover for
terrorists or other evildoers who could
use in-game messaging systems to
swap information. In one of the docu-
ments cited Monday by media outlets,
the NSA warned that the games could
give intelligence targets a place to
hide in plain sight.

Congress renews undetectable gun ban for decade
WASHINGTON Narrowly beating a midnight deadline,
Congress voted Monday to renew an expiring ban on plas-
tic rearms that can evade airport detection machines. But
Republicans blocked an effort to toughen the restrictions
the latest defeat for gun-control forces in the year since the
grade school massacre in Newtown, Conn.
By voice vote, the Senate gave final congressional
approval to a 10-year extension of the prohibition against
guns that can slip past metal detectors and X-ray machines.
The House voted last week for an identical decade-long
renewal of the ban, and the measure now goes to President
Barack Obama for his signature.
Obama, traveling to Africa for ceremonies honoring the
late South African president Nelson Mandela, was expected
to sign the bill before midnight using an auto pen, a White
House ofcial said. The device has been used for the signa-
tures of traveling presidents since the administration of
president George W. Bush.
GOP senators rejected an effort by Sen. Chuck Schumer,
D-N.Y., to strengthen the ban by requiring that such
weapons contain undetachable metal parts. Some plastic
guns meet the letter of the current law with a metal piece that
can be removed, making them a threat to be slipped past
security screeners at schools, airports and elsewhere.
World leaders to speak
at massive Mandela memorial
JOHANNESBURG An eclectic mix of world leaders
including President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raul
Castro will eulogize Nelson Mandela before a crowd of near-
ly 100,000 mourners at a massive memorial service Tuesday
in the World Cup soccer stadium where the anti-apartheid
champion made his last public appearance.
What a fantastic gift God gave to us in this Mandela, who
quickly became an icon, a global icon of forgiveness, of
generosity of spirit, Archbishop Desmond Tutu told a gath-
ering Monday at the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory.
He really was like a magician with a magic wand, turning
us into this glorious, multi-colored, rainbow people.
Nearly 100 world leaders and tens of thousands of South
Africans of all races and backgrounds were expected to pay
their respects to the man who bridged this nations black-
white divide at the FNB stadium in Soweto a locale heavy
in symbolism as the black township that was at the center
of the violent struggle against apartheid.
IAEA will inspect Libyas yellowcake stockpiles
UNITED NATIONS An inspection team from the U.N.s
nuclear agency will visit Libya to assess the thousands of
barrels of yellowcake uranium that reportedly are being
stored in a former military facility amid a precarious secu-
rity situation in the country.
The International Atomic Energy Agency team will arrive
in the North African country this month to verify existing
stockpiles and conditions of storage, the U.N. secretary-
generals special representative to Libya told the Security
Council on Monday.
Tarek Mitri said U.N. authorities have received informa-
tion indicating that 6,400 barrels are stored under the
control of an army battalion in a facility near Sabha, in the
countrys unstable desert south, where militants and traf-
ckers have roamed since the ouster of dictator Moammar
Gadha in 2011.

As a worker at Natera, a San Carlos
biotech company that does genetic testing,
he hopes to be able to bring more high-
tech businesses to Millbrae. Business
development is very important for creating
jobs and raising revenue, he said.
There are very few tech businesses
here, he said. Were pretty well located on
the Peninsula; we have BARTand Caltrain.
What does his father think of his new
position?
He seems very proud of me, Reuben
Holober said. He was extremely encourag-
ing the whole campaign.
Reuben Holober, a resident of Millbrae
for 22 years, adds that he wont be replac-
ing his mother when he joins the council.
Im not walking into her shoes, he
said. She gave a lot to the city and its an
honor to follow her. At the same time, Im
ready to carve my own identity here in
Millbrae.
Additionally, Reuben Holober is con-
cerned about the citys fire suppression
assessment tax, which is set to expire June
30, 2014. Millbrae voters originally
passed the $144 annual fee for re services
on single-family homes in 2004 as one
solution to address the citys budget crisis,
which began in 2001. It was extended in
2009 and the tax brings in about $1.2 mil-
lion per year to the general fund, according
to a staff report.
That is very important to be able to fund
the re department, he said. The key in
the near term is the merger with Burlingame
and Hillsborough in the Central County
Fire Department.
He said theres denitely a lot of chal-
lenges coming up in the city, but he has a
pretty good idea of what hes getting into.

This was the second appeals process
Michaels has gone through this year to
relocate to the old Borders site at 2925 S.
El Camino Real from its current location
at 1750 S. Delaware St. near Kmart and
the Hayward Park train station. That area
is slated to be transformed in the next
decade into a mixed-used transit-orient-
ed-development called Station Park
Green. Michaels lease is up in 2014. Its
application to move was denied by the
Zoning Administrator in April. That deci-
sion was appealed to the Planning
Commission, which rejected its proposal
in September.
The move has become controversial as
the site was rezoned in 2007 as transit-ori-
ented development to align with the citys
Rail Corridor Plan. At the time, Borders
was allowed to remain with a non- con-
forming use permit. However, between
Nov. 22, 2011, and June 4, 2012, the site
was not maintained as a retail space and
lost its exception.
Councilmembers agreed its critical to
find a balance between maintaining the
citys intentions of the TOD while sup-
porting transitions that property owners
may face when they lose a tenant.
I have no doubt that were a city thats
in transition, weve got zoning changes
... and were struggling in that transition
with some of the non-conforming uses,
said Mayor Robert Ross.
The TOD was adopted to encourage and
provide guidance for transit-oriented
development within a half-mile radius of
the Hillsdale Caltrain station. Multi-fami-
ly residential facilities and high-density
office space are rightfully zoned under the
TOD and certain convenience-oriented
retail, such as cafes and stores that sell
small items, are also allowed. Another
guideline to qualify under the TOD would
be a mixed-use development.
More than 6,000 Michaels customers
signed cards in support of it remaining in
San Mateo and there is a lot of community
backing, said Linda Bernhardt, senior
advisor to DLA Piper LLP, which repre-
sents the property owners and supported
the stores relocation to El Camino Real.
The new proposal qualifies as mixed-use
because there will be a separate lease for
the cafe that isnt accessible through
Michaels, and because it has carved out
space for studio and art class space that
would be accessible to the community,
Bernhardt said.
It broadly fits within the guidelines for
the TOD. I would have preferred a little
more square footage to be dedicated to
other uses ... but Im satisfied with where
we are with it, said Councilman Jack
Matthews.
Matthews spent years working on the
citys Rail Corridor Plan and although hes
supported having a Michaels in San Mateo
since it first came to the city, he wants to
ensure the city doesnt stray too far.
Were still in the early phases of mak-
ing [the Rail Corridor Plan] happen, and I
think thats where the future of our city
lies ... so we dont want to open the door
to broader interpretations of the specific
plans and lose the essence of what we
mean to do, Matthews said.
Rich Hedges served on the Citizens
Advisory Committee during the formation
of the Rail Corridor Plan and is concerned
about what effect the councils interpreta-
tion of Michaels proposal last night
could have on other pending cases like the
7-Eleven lawsuit.
Once you set a precedent that changes
the intent of the corridor plan then youre
going to end up not having transit-orient-
ed development that really works, Hedges
said.
Councilmembers all expressed their ded-
ication to the Rail Corridor Plan with
hopes to reduce traffic and mitigate the
citys carbon footprint. As the city is still
in the process of defining and navigating
the practical aspects of the TOD, its
important to keep the community, the city
and local merchants engaged, Ross said.
The council did not give Michaels a
straight go-ahead last night, but instead
directed city staff to work with DLAP t o
draft specifications to bring back at the
Jan. 6 council meeting.
MICHAELS
By Julie Pace
WASHINGTON The comparisons are
perhaps inevitable. President Barack
Obama and former South African leader
Nelson Mandela each served as their
nations rst black president, living sym-
bols of struggles to overcome deep-seated
racial tensions. Each was awarded the Nobel
Peace Prize.
But as Obama prepares to honor Mandela
at a memorial service Tuesday in South
Africa, people close to the U.S. president
say he is well-aware that his rapid rise
through Americas political ranks pales in
comparison to Mandelas 27 years in prison
ghting against a repressive government
that brutally enforced laws that enshrined
racial discrimination.
Rather than view himself as a counterpart
to Mandela, Obama has said he sees himself
as one of the countless millions who drew
inspiration from Mandelas life.
As student, Obama drew inspiration from Mandela
OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
Lawmakers should
be subject to laws
Editor,
Keith De Filippis letter, Sen. Harry
Reid exempts his staff members from
Obamacare, (in the Dec. 5 edition of the
Daily Journal) raises a very important and
pertinent question when he asks, Why ...
are there different rules for different
groups of people?
Concisely put, Democratic Sen. Reid
has exerted his power to exempt his staff
members from Obamacare because he
could get away with it. Of course, he
shouldnt do that, as lawmakers in this
country should be subject to the laws and
not be placed above the law.
Unfortunately, Sen. Reid is not alone in
acting as if he was a part of a royal class.
When our public servants like Sen. Reid
behave in an unethical way or are dishon-
est, they dishonor their office and our
democracy. As a recourse, the people can
exercise their soverign power and dis-
charge them at election time. What a
beautiful thing!

Obama has
brought nation together
Editor,
Scott Abramson, (in the Dec. 9 edition
of the Daily Journal) lauded Nelson
Mandela for using his eloquence to heal a
nation and bring together his people
while chiding President Obama for doing
the opposite. One can only wonder in
what world Mr. Abramson lives. The facts
of President Obamas record: cessation of
the Iraq war, an auto industry rescued,
equal pay law for women, bin Laden ter-
minated, improved civil rights for LGBT
people, an economy reversed with the
Dow at historic levels, and a long overdue
health care act whereby millions now
have meaningful insurance for the first
time while the rate of increase in premi-
ums are the lowest in many years. Oh,
coincidentally, President Obama was
awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Based on these accomplishments, there
is ample evidence of an ongoing healing
and bringing people together. Think what
could be done if Congress would provide
something besides disloyal opposition.
So, unless Mr. Abramson has facts to
the contrary, one can only reach the con-
clusion his assessment is nothing more
than a cheap shot and not deserving con-
sideration.

Dirty health care confusion
Editor,
Jack Hickeys bizarre take (Profit
should not be a dirty word in the Nov. 29
issue of the Daily Journal) on Patrick
Fields thoughts on private health insur-
ance (Private health insurance is
wrongin the Nov. 25 issue of the Daily
Journal), has to be a deliberate and calcu-
lated attempt at discrediting the writer and
derailing a most necessary debate.
While Mr. Field quite clearly argues that
a social service like health care ought not
be profit-oriented, Mr. Hickey twists that
concept around to make it look like an
attack on private enterprises like Safeway
and Luckys. Thats a dishonest attempt at
confusing the issue, albeit quite common
nonsense from that side.
I, as well as all progressive industrial-
ized nations, agree with Mr. Field that
health care is so important for the overall
welfare of a society, that it must cover
everybody and be funded by government,
with no insurance industry involved.
Instead, the U.S. private health insurance
just adds to the overall cost of health
care, while providing less, for fewer peo-
ple, with executive bonuses as reward for
the success of restricted care. What hap-
pened to the promote the general wel-
fare part of the preamble of the U.S.
Constitution? In addition to almost 50
million Americans without health insur-
ance, many more have inadequate or limit-
ed coverage due to the iron grip profit-
based insurance programs have forged on
health care.
The private philanthropy that Mr.
Hickey swears by, obviously doesnt do
the job. Patrick Field understands that.

The wrong prescription
Editor,
Jack Hickey responds to my letter about
private health insurance by saying pri-
vate health insurance is a win-win situa-
tion and is similar to shopping at grocery
stores (letter to the editor, Profit should
not be a dirty word, in the Nov. 29 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal). He also says
that the free market and private philan-
thropy is the best way to help people. He
then states that government is a neces-
sary evil and it should be guided by the
constitution.
Lets start with the first one: Private
health insurance has maximum coverage
limits. When the limit is reached, people
have to pay themselves or go home and
die. That is not a win-win situation. Next,
health care has nothing in common with
buying groceries. Food is natural and
comes from the earth. Health care has to
do with medical science and is based on
mans knowledge of illness and disease.
Next, it was the failure of the free mar-
ket that caused the Great Depression and
led to the creation of the governments
largest entitlement program, the Social
Security Administration. Also, at the
same time, private philanthropy didnt
help. Finally, asserting that the govern-
ment is evil and should be guided by the
Constitution, which was written more
than 200 years ago, is the same as saying
that people should be guided by the Holy
Bible that was written more than 2,000
years ago.

Obamas speech and Pope Francis
Editor,
It looks like its still about class.
President Obamas recent speech lays out
his plan for the rest of his administra-
tion. This plan is to resuscitate our bro-
ken economic system to enable more
funds to get into the hands of the working
class. Not too different from the message
of the new Pope Francis, which if given
by Mr. Obama, would have triggered an
avalanche of screams of Marxist Coup
by our synthetic patriots in the
Republican Party and in the media. What
fun that would have been.
Simple off-the-shelf remedies have been
around since the Roosevelt years for our
wayward and uncontrolled system of
wealth redistribution toward the top 1
percent. The masters of greed never sleep,
so this is a battle that goes on as long as
humans do. While most all the animal
kingdom has to just await their fate, we
can actually speed up our demise or delay
it by our actions and inactions.
Both Mr. Mandela and the Rev. King
had these same ideas for correcting our
greed but they both ended up on terror
watch lists. Who said being human was
easy?

Got the hots
for Sriracha
H
ot damn! Could Sriracha get any
more popular? When it comes to
the ubiquitous hot sauce, Im as
much a fan as the next girl. When it comes
to kicking up bland sushi or lackluster noo-
dles, just grab the plastic
bottle often touted as sim-
ply the rooster sauce by
the linguistically chal-
lenged. Asqueeze here, a
dollop there. Sriracha has
come into its own as not
only a fairly well-known
condiment, but preferred.
Think of it as hot sauces
more exotic cousin, from
its double-consonant spelling to its debat-
able beginnings. Sri Lanka? Si Racha?
Thailand? Or is it a completely American
condiment given a cooler Asian name to
boost sales among foodies?
I rst learned of Sriracha from a date at a
Palo Alto noodle restaurant. Try this, the
boy cajoled. He made up some nonsense
about what it was before nally conceding
he was clueless but it was good. He was right
on both counts which is probably why he
only survived a few more outings while
fondness for the sauce endures.
Fast-forward through the years and
Sriracha is this generations aioli and pump-
kin spice all rolled into one. The sauce is
about as common some might argue over-
used as other recent trends seemingly used
as a last-ditch effort to dazzle a dish: bacon,
garlic, pork belly, trufe oil, quinoa.
You really know a product has jumped the
gourmet shark when the Subway chain intro-
duces its version of Sriracha-doused sand-
wiches.
Now, fans dont even have to eat to join
the Sriracha frenzy. Theres Sriracha cook-
books. Sriracha popcorn. Chocolate, high
heels (to savor on the foot, not the tongue).
Theres lip balm tubes for sale (Like making
out with tasty napalm! is the tagline).
Sriracha vodka, which might arguably work
in a Bloody Mary. And, in the spirit of
Christmas, the piece de resistance: Sriracha
candy canes.
Thats right. Those fun folks at J&D Foods
are marketing Sriracha avored candy canes.
The company is also selling Power Bacon
deodorant (verbatim from the press release:
Designed specically for people with active
lifestyles, although it doesnt quite explain
why these active people will need all day
meat-scented protection. Put that on the
ofce white elephant gift list.
In a less shudder-inducing yet still odd
sales pitch, the same company sells the
candy canes as a way to play a trick on chil-
dren. Seriously. From condiment to comedy.
The desire for all things Sriracha has
reached such a fevered pitch that the factory
of Huy Fong Foods in Southern California
can hardly keep up. The factor has been
churning out so much sauce, neighbors of
the facility went to court to stop the irritat-
ing fumes reportedly tainting the surround-
ing air and making it hard to breath.
According to the company, if forced to stop
production, there will be 200,000 less bot-
tles per day of the product. Seriously? A
Sriracha shortage?
Remember what happened when Twinkies
and Leggos were threatened with rations
prices skyrocketed, eBay became a black
market and even those with barely a taste for
them reacted as though the culinary sky was
falling.
The situation is already heating up.
Asmall package of the sauce is on sale on
eBay for $10,000 which perhaps is a good
price for what the seller calls the last packet
of Sriracha ever made. And its not alone as
other bottles of the sauce are listed at $20 to
$50. I guess you cant put a price on love but
you can put a price on love for a hot sauce.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK The stock market
notched another record close Monday
after a big acquisition in the food
industry. Hope for a longer-term budg-
et deal in Washington also helped.
Food distributor Sysco rose the
most in the Standard & Poors 500
index after the company announced an
agreement to buy rival US Foods in an
$8.2 billion deal. Syscos stock
jumped $3.31, or 9.7 percent, to
$37. 62.
Stocks extended a rally from Friday
that was driven by a report of solid
U.S. job gains. That boosted investor
confidence that the economy was
growing strongly enough to handle
any pullback in the Federal Reserves
economic stimulus.
Were just continuing the bullish-
ness that weve had, said Rex Macey,
Chief Investment Officer of
Wilmington Trust Investment
Advisors, a unit of Wilmington Trust
Bank.
The S&P 500 index climbed 3.28
points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,808.37.
That put the index a point above its
previous record close of 1,807.23 set
November 27.
Other indexes also made small
gains. The Dow Jones industrial aver-
age rose 5.33 points, less than 0.1
percent, to 16,025.53. The Nasdaq
composite increased 6.23 points, or
0.2 percent, to 4,068.75.
Stocks were also supported by
reports that U.S. lawmakers were
moving closer to reaching a longer-
term budget deal, said Bill Stone,
chief investment strategist at PNC
Wealth Management Group.
Dick Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat in
the Senate, said Sunday on ABC that
budget negotiations are making
progress and moving in the right
direction.
The stock market stuttered in
October after political wrangling over
the budget caused a 16-day partial gov-
ernment shutdown that crimped eco-
nomic growth and hurt consumer con-
dence.
A budget deal could be viewed as
positive, in the sense that it is putting
to bed one more possible disruption,
Stone said.
In other corporate news, American
Airlines rose 65 cents, or 2.7 percent,
to $24.60 on the companys rst day
of trading after completing its merger
with US Airways.
There were no major economic
reports for investors to focus on.
The stock market has climbed to
record levels this year as corporations
have kept increasing their earnings
and the Fed has kept up its $85 bil-
lion-a-month bond purchasing pro-
gram. The Feds purchases have
pushed up bond prices, lowered inter-
est rates and encouraged investors to
buy stocks.
Fed policymakers will meet next
week, though few analysts are predict-
ing that they will make changes to
their bond-buying program. The meet-
ing runs from Dec. 17 to Dec. 18.
Improvements in the labor market
since September last year, when the
Fed started its most recent round of
stimulus, provided the most powerful
argument for reducing bond purchases,
St. Louis Fed President James Bullard
said on Monday. Bullard, a voting
member of the Feds policy commit-
tee, was speaking in St. Louis.
In government bond trading, the
yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell
to 2.85 percent from 2.86 percent
Friday.

New American Airlines
emerges as deal closes
By David Koeing
FORT WORTH, Texas American Airlines emerged from
bankruptcy protection and US Airways culminated its long
pursuit of a merger partner as the two completed their deal
Monday to create the worlds biggest airline.
Its the latest in a series of mergers that will leave four air-
lines controlling more than 80 percent of the U.S. air-trav-
el market. With less competition, the airlines have success-
fully limited the number of seats, boosting prices and
returning to protability.
Americans old parent, AMR Corp., is gone, replaced by
the new American Airlines Group Inc. CEO Doug Parker
remotely rang the opening bell of the Nasdaq Stock Market,
anked on stage by executives and labor leaders of both air-
lines and in front of a crowd of cheering employees.
Our goal here is to go and restore American Airlines to its
position as the greatest airline in the world, Parker said.
The largest airline as recently as 2008, American struggled
through a decade of huge losses and fell behind United and
Delta in size.
For passengers, the merger wont mean many immediate
changes. Whether the deal leads to higher ticket prices, the
issue at the heart of legal challenges from the government
and consumer groups, remains to be seen.
Parker said that merger wont lead to higher airfares
because the new American plans to keep all the service cur-
rently offered by American and US Airways.
Airline prices are like prices in other businesses they
track with supply and demand, and were not reducing any of
the supply, he said in an interview with the Associated
Press.
Elite members of the two frequent-ier programs will get
reciprocal benets in early January, with other changes
being phased in, executives said. The airlines expect to
soon be able to book passengers on each others ights,
increasing the destinations available to customers of both.

DETROIT The U.S. government
ended up losing $10.5 billion on the
General Motors bailout, but it says the
alternative would have been far worse.
The Treasury Department sold its
nal shares of the Detroit auto giant on
Monday, recovering $39 billion of the
$49.5 billion it spent to save the
dying automaker at the height of the
nancial crisis ve years ago.
Without the bailout, the country
would have lost more than 1 million
jobs, and the economy could have
slipped from recession into a depres-
sion, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew
said on a conference call with
reporters.
The economic stakes were high,
and President Obama understood that
inaction was not an option, Lew said.
His decision to commit additional
support to GM while requiring them to
fundamentally restructure their busi-
ness was tough but it was right.
Government sells remaining stake in GM
By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON A surging stock
market and a steady recovery in home
prices drove Americans wealth to a
record last summer.
The nations wealth rose 2.6 percent
from July through September to $77.3
trillion, the Federal Reserve said
Monday. Household wealth has been
rising gradually since bottoming at
$57.2 trillion in 2008. Early this year,
America nally regained all the wealth
it had lost to the Great Recession.
Rising personal wealth has been a
pillar of the slow but steady U.S. eco-
nomic recovery and could continue to
boost the economy next year. When
Americans feel richer, they typically
spend more and fuel economic growth.
Household wealth, or net worth,
reects the value of homes, stocks,
bank accounts and other assets minus
mortgages, credit cards and other
debts.
From July through September, ris-
ing stock prices boosted Americans
net worth by $917 billion. Higher
home values added $428 billion more.
The Feds gures dont go beyond
September. But stock prices have con-
tinued to rise since last quarter ended,
which means household wealth has,
too. Since Oct. 1, the Standard &
Poors 500 stock index has risen near-
ly 8 percent. Home prices in many
areas have continued to rise, though
more slowly than they did earlier in
the year.
The Feds report also showed that
Americans are willing to borrow
more. This suggests that many are
growing more condent in their jobs
and in the broader economy.
When adjusted for inflation, net
worth remains about 1 percent below
its pre-recession peak. But the gains
in stock and home prices during the
current October-December quarter will
likely lift inflation-adjusted house-
hold wealth to a record.
Still, the gains havent been equally
distributed. The wealthiest 10 percent
of U.S. households own about 80 per-
cent of stocks. And home ownership
has declined since the recession, par-
ticularly among lower-income
Americans.
Mondays report also showed that
total mortgage debt rose 0.9 percent
from the previous quarter. It was the
rst such increase since early 2009.
The rise reects rising home sales and
fewer mortgage defaults, an encourag-
ing sign.
Americans are also holding more
consumer debt outside of mortgages,
in the form of student loans, auto
loans and credit cards. Consumer debt
rose 6 percent from the previous quar-
ter.

Honor Roll salutes football All-Leaguers
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Yes, the winter season is here
and its warming up. But before the
Honor Roll starts into its winter
mode, it must rst salute its all-
league football players.
The Peninsula Athletic League
and West Catholic Athletic League
announced the cream of their crops
on Monday with both leagues
on the cusp of CIF Regional
Championship games this week-
end.
Cheif among those standouts is
Serras Hamilton Anoai. The big-
time wide receiver picked up the
WCAL Co-Player of the Year award
after a remarkable season for the
Padres. In 12 games, Anoai racked
up 516 yards and 10 receiving
touchdowns.
Joining Anoai at the top of
WCALs list as the Junior of the
Year is running back Kava Cassidy.
Cassidy has come on extremely
strong during the Central Coast
Section playoffs. In three games,
he scored eight touchdowns en
route to Serras third CCS title and
its rst in the Open Division. For
the season, Cassidy rushed for
1,414 yards and 16 touchdowns.
In total, six more Padres made
the WCALs First Team including
Kavapele Maka, Daniel Lavulo,
Ryan Rudolph, Matt Faaita,
Tyson Terreros and Eric
Westerman.
Over in the PAL, its two best quar-
terbacks represented the league as
its two top players.
Terra Nova quarterback Anthony
Gordon and Menlo quarterback Jack
Heneghan were named the Bay
Divisions Offensive Players of the
Year. Gordon, a junior, led the
Tigers to their fth consecutive
division title and a No. 1 seed in the
CCS Open Division. He tossed 32
touchdowns and only six intercep-
tions on the year. He averaged 309
yards passing a game.
Heneghan nished the 2013 sea-
son dissapointedly looking on
from the sideline after a shoulder
injury. Still, the Dartmouth-bound
QB was spectacular when he was on
the eld. For the season, Heneghan
threw for 2,974 yards, 37 touch-
downs and nine interceptions.

year, boasts a total of 10 players on

49ers defense makes impressive December stand
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO This
December defensive stand by San
Francisco did plenty for the 49ers
and showed a lot to the rest of the
league in the process.
The defending NFC champions
are still right in the playoff mix,
and plan to keep it that way.
After holding Russell Wilson
and the archrival Seahawks in
check Sunday on the way to a
physical 19-17
victory that
kept Seattle
from clinching
the West, San
Francisco (9-4)
can still largely
control its fate
by winning out
this month.
I think we
showed a championship effort,
safety Donte Whitner said. I
think everybody around the coun-
try knows who the 49ers are now.
That was a championship football
game in a playoff atmosphere and
we just made a few more plays than
they made.
Not that coach Jim Harbaugh is
spending signicant time guring
out all the different playoff scenar-
ios and where his team might wind
up for the divisional round come
January. Next up is a cross-country
road trip this weekend to Tampa
Bay, and the Niners are riding a
three-game winning streak after
back-to-back losses against
Carolina and New Orleans.
Quoting the signature phrase of
late Raiders owner Al Davis,
Harbaugh said: Al Davis said it as
well as it can ever be said, just
win. Those are our intentions.
Harbaugh pulled out an old
stand-by of his own after Sundays
win, too: Whos got it better than
us? Nobody!

total yards
The defense came to play, wide
receiver Michael Crabtree said.
They saved us.

It was the play that change
everything for Serra High
School.
With a 0-0 on the scoreboard
and the second half just under-
way in the biggest game of the
programs recent history, Padres
quarterback Matt Faaita took to
the eld to try and get the Serra
offense jump-started. Up until
that point, Archbishop Mitty
proved it had done its defensive
homework. After losing to the
Padres in the last game of the
West Catholic Athletic League
regular season and relinquishing
half of the WCAL title to the
Padres via a 31-7 loss, the
Monarchs studied up and held the
vaunted Serra Spread to just 89
first-half yards during the
rematch in the Central Coast
Section Open Division champi-
onship game.
Only 22 of those had come
because of Faaitas arm.
Things changed dramatically
for Faaita and the Padres come
the second half. In posting a
221-yard passing day for Serra,
Faaita led the Padres to their
third CCS title and rst ever trip

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla.
Joe Torre, Tony La Russa and
Bobby Cox spent decades trying
to beat each other, no holds
barred. On this day, however, they
were a mutual admiration society.
And why not? They were going
to the Hall of Fame together.
With a combined eight World
Series titles and more than 7,500
wins, the managerial trio made it
to Cooperstown in results
announced Monday. Each was
unanimously selected when the 16
voters on the expansion era com-
mittee met a day earlier.
Theyre not the easiest guys to
manage against, thats for sure.
But it was fun. It was always a bat-
tle, Cox said Monday at the win-
ter meetings. And I consider them
enemies on the eld, but friends
off the eld.
All three exceeded the magic
benchmark of 2,000 wins only
Connie Mack and John McGraw
have won more.
Managing against them, you
certainly learned things, said
Torre, now an executive vice pres-
ident for Major League Baseball.
I am honored to go into the Hall
with these two guys.
Induction ceremonies will be
held July 27 in Cooperstown, N.Y.
Candidates needed 12 votes for
election. No one else on the 12-
person ballot that included former
players union head Marvin Miller
and late New York Yankees owner
George Steinbrenner got more
than six votes.
Torre became the fth manager
to win four World Series champi-
onships, leading the Yankees to
titles in 1996 and from 1998-00
beating Coxs Braves twice.
After making only one trip to the
playoffs in 14 seasons with the
New York Mets, St. Louis and
Atlanta, Torre guided the Yankees
to the postseason in all 12 of his
years in New York with a cool,
patient demeanor. His popularity
rankled Steinbrenner.
George Steinbrenner changed
my life giving me that opportuni-
ty at the end of 95, said Torre,
the seventh Yankees manager to
be elected to the Hall. He just
wanted to win. He felt he owed it to
the city. Maybe, the fact I was a
New Yorker, it really struck a nerve
with me.
Torre nished his career by lead-
ing the Los Angeles Dodgers to
two NL West titles in three sea-
sons, retiring after 2010 with a
record of 2,326-1,997. Hes the
only manager to have more than
2,000 hits as a player he was
the 1971 NL MVP and 2,000
wins in the dugout.
Joe taught a lot of us about how
to win the right way and lose the
right way, La Russa said.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Kemba Walker scored 27 of his 31
points in the second half, and the Charlotte Bobcats ruined
Stephen Currys homecoming with a wire-to-wire 115-111
victory over the Golden State Warriors on Monday night.
Curry overcame a slow start to nish with a season-high
43 points, 32 of them coming in the second half.
Curry, a Charlotte native who burst on
the national scene while playing at near-
by Davidson College, scored 19 points
in the fourth quarter, including a 27-foot-
er with a hand in his face to cut the
Bobcats lead to 111-109 with 11 seconds
left.
But the Warriors (12-10) couldnt con-
tain Walker, and the point guard hit four
free throws in the nal 11 seconds to seal
the victory.
Gerald Henderson had 24 points and Josh McRoberts had
11 points and 10 rebounds for the Bobcats (10-11), who won
their second straight game.
While Curry was putting on a show, Walker did his best to
match him in a duel of high-octane point guards.
Walker scored 15 points in the fourth quarter and nished
10 of 18 from the eld and 9 of 11 from the foul line. He also
had ve assists.
Curry was 3 of 11 in the rst half, but got hot late in the
third quarter and nished 14 of 32 from the eld against a
Bobcats team that hadnt allowed 100 points in 13 straight
games. He was only 5 of 16 from 3-point range, but did some
damage at the free throw line where he was 10 of 12.
Curry also had nine assists.
The Bobcats led 53-41 at the half behind 14 points from
Henderson, who was 7 of 10 from the eld, scoring most of
his points in the low post. The Warriors struggled from the
eld early, shooting 1 of 12 from 3-point range.
Curry, who led Davidson to the brink of the Final Four as
a sophomore, came in with a career average of 25.3 points
against his hometown team while shooting 62 percent from
3-point land.
The Warriors never led, but tied the game at 88-all on a pair
of free throws by Curry.
But Ramon Sessions scored on a pair of drives and Ben
Gordon knocked down a 3-pointer to quickly push the lead
back to seven with 6:50 left in the game.
Walker hit a 3-pointer and a fall away in
the lane to help stretch the lead to 11.
Warriors coach Mark Jackson said
before the game that Currys play has
been spectacular this season.
Hes been playing at a whole different
level, Jackson said. Hes playing and
acting like hes the best player on the
oor night-in-and-night-out, carrying us
down the stretch, making plays, choos-
ing when to take over offensively and he knows when to
facilitate.
You see his scoring and you fall in love with his jump
shot. Hes a guy thats among the league leaders in assists
also. Hes playing at a different level. Hes getting to the
level of the baddest man on the planet. Its really fun to see.
It takes everyone else to another level.

start Sunday, but the Seattle star
wound up with 72 yards on 20
carries just 22 yards after half-
time.
Thats quite an accomplish-
ment, Harbaugh said of his
defenses streak. It certainly
was in this game.
Harbaugh simplified his defen-
sive units effort to just running
and hitting, hitting and run-
ning.
It helps to have such talented
players at every position.
Wi t h Just i n Smi t h, Aldon
Smith and Ahmad Brooks
swarming at every chance,
NaVorro Bowman and Patrick
Wi l l i s del i veri ng puni shi ng
hits and Glenn Dorsey defiantly
manning the middle, this
defense is in sync up front.
That team was (11-1). When
you knock off a team that had
previously lost one game, you
can look over and see (frustra-
tion), Aldon Smith said. We
came out there and were making
plays. We clicked. When were all
on the same page, were a hard
team to stop. We got after it
today.
The 49ers were mad, too. Mad
that they had been outscored 71-
16 in two previous losses against
the Seahawks, both in Seattle,
including a 29-3 rout in Week 2.
Pressure came right at Wi l son
from the start. He threw for 199
yards on 15-of-25 passing but
threw an interception and pro-
duced just an 81.9 passer rating.
They fly around and they make
plays, said Wilson, who was
also sacked twice. They have a
lot of great players and their
front seven is incredibly strong
just like ours.
Every player on the 49ers real-
izes that each week is being treat-
ed as a win-or-go-home playoff-
type game.
From here on out, all of them
are, Dorsey said. All of them.
Notes: Harbaugh credited
everyone for executing the key
blocks on Frank Gores late 51-
yard gain that helped set up Phil
Dawsons game-winning 22-yard
field goal. ... Seats from

SAO PAULO As video of Brazilian fans
kicking, beating and using metal bars to
pummel supporters of a rival team spread
across the globe, ofcials moved quickly to
assure people considering coming to the
2014 World Cup that they wont see that
type of violence at the global tournament.
Aday after four people were hospitalized
following clashes in a key match in the nal
round of the Brazilian league, World Cup
organizers said Monday that fan safety will
not be a problem during soccers showcase
event.
We can assure that the safety of this
event will be guaranteed, said Andrei
Augusto Passos Rodrigues, one of the
Brazilian governments ofcials in charge
of security during major events. The lam-
entable scenes such as the ones that hap-
pened yesterday will not be repeated.
But violence around Brazilian football is
growing, including about 30 deaths this
year. In July, a referee in a village match
fatally stabbed a player after an argument.
The referee was then stoned and decapitated
by the crowd.
In the Brazilian league this year, police
and fans clashed in and outside stadiums at
least once a month.
Brazil tries to ease fears
of World Cup violence
to the CIF Regional Championship. In that
third quarter, Faaita led a couple of master-
ful drives and took away any momentum
Mitty had especially after a 74-yard
touchdown run gave the Monarchs a 7-9
lead.
But before all the celebration, all the pic-
tures, and all the jumping into the stands
took place, there was a play the one that
turned everything around for Faaita and the
Padres.
On No. 18s rst pass from scrimmage to
start the third quarter, the southpaw dropped
back and threw a pass in the direction of
Demetri McCoy. A Mitty defender jumped
the route and looked destined for an inter-
ception and six points. But somehow, the
ball got through his hands and into
McCoys for 18 yards.
That was the turning point of the game,
said Serra head coach Patrick Walsh. There
was an opportunity for them to make a pick
there but I guess ... God is a Padre. It just
didnt work out for them. Sometimes things
like that give you a little bit of condence
and it gave Matt a bunch of condence. He
basically had the opportunity to start
believing in himself, believing in his
receivers and guys were making plays.
Nobody panicked.
The bit of divine intervention fueld
Faaita, who found a groove during the rest
of that third quarter that carried the Padres to
the win.
For his efforts, Faaita is the Daily
Journal Athlete of the Week.
With the rain and the ball being wet, I
just had to go step by step, pass after pass,
Faaita said of a surprisingly quiet rst half
against Mitty. But I just started getting
better and better. I just got the ball to the
receivers and the receivers were catching
them.
Did they ever. While that miracle, non-
interception stalled deep in Mitty territory,
Faaita got back to work. His next effort of
the half resulted in a 30-yard touchdown
pass to Hamilton Anoai that tied the game
at 7. That TD toss capped of a sensational
80-yard drive that included long comple-
tions to Easop Winston and Kava Cassidy.
Thats my No. 1 target right there,
Faaita said of Anoai and his touchdown.
And having him on the eld made me feel
comfortable. I just knew I had to get the ball
to him because hed make a play for me. And
thats what he did.
The entire Serra offense made plays, actu-
ally. But that third quarter belonged to
Faaita. He completed 67 percent of his
passes for 184 yards half of those went to
Winston, who nished the game with nine
catches for 119 yards.
Faaita, who missed a bit of time early in
the year battling injury, will have to be just
as big for Serra if they hope to reach the
state title game. Theyll play Del-Oro

ing at 7:30 p.m.

Sacred Heart Preps Ben Burr-Kirven was
named the other Defensive Player of the
Year.
Menlo-Athertons Isiah Nash (Utility)
and Ben Sehl (Special Teams) also made the
top of the list. Menlos Mark Newton won
half of the Coach of the Year honors.
Over in the Ocean Division, following a
return to glory year for Burlingame, the
Panthers owned the top of the divisions
awards.
Manase Palu (Offense), Keoni Keahi
(Defense), Robby Baumgarten (Special
Teams) and John Philipopoulos (Coach) all
received top honors for the division. Josh
Holman, the explosive receiver from
Woodside, was named Utility Player of the
Year.
In all, the Panthers had 11 players named
to the Ocean First Team.
Finally, in the Lake Division, Hillsdale
was the top dog in the standings and in the
all-league list.
Cole Carrithers was named Offensive
Player of the Year after a season in which he
threw for 2,243 yards and 24 touchdowns.
Carrithers is joined in the awards list by
Giancarlo Boscacci (Offensive Back), David
Galten (Offensive Lineman), Taran Poss
(Linebacker) and head coach Mike Parodi.
Rounding out the Lakes awards list is
Mills Josh Sved (Defensive), Brandon Gip
(Utility), Tevita Taki Taki (Special Teams),
Derek Friske (Receiver), Troy Hunter
(Defensive Lineman) and Jordan Duncan
(Defensive Back).
And right before we get to winter sports,
football shout outs still go out to Burr-
Kirven who was all over the eld on both
sides of the ball during the Gators 56-21
win over Pacic Grove in the Central Coast
Section Division IV championship game.
Burr-Kirven had a sack and interception
defensively and added a 23-yard touchdown
run on offense. His teammate, Andrew
Segre, played the game of his life in that
win. He had 267 yards and four touchdowns
in the rst half alone and nished with 357
yards and six scores total.
To kick off the winter Honor Roll, Anisah
Smith of Carlmont girls basketball, started
the season with a bang, averaging 27.3
points per game in four contests last week.
She opened the year with a 33-point effort
against Silver Creek in the rst round of the
Fremont-Sunnyvale Firebird tournament
and followed it with a 25-point outburst in a
loss to Saratoga. In the third-place game,
she went for 27 in a win over host Fremont.
She then wrapped up her week with a 24-
point performance in a win over Carmel.
And over on the soccer pitch, Luca Deza
and Jessica Parque are looking to get Notre
Dame-Belmont off on the right foot. Deza
scored seven goals and recorded an assist as
the Tigers opened the season with a 3-0
mark. Deza had hat tricks in wins over
Mercy-Burlingame and El Camino, and
added a goal and an assist in a win over Half
Moon Bay.
Parque, the already-established threat for
the Tigers, scored eight times in those same
three games. She went for four goals against
El Camino and pair each against both
Mercy-Burlingame at Half Moon Bay.
of the league would not scare anyone, espe-
cially a team as good as the Gators.
Everyone says SHP hasnt faced an
offense like El Cerritos, which boasts ve
players who have signed Division I letters
of intent, but Im guessing the Gauchos
havent faced many defenses better than the
Gators. They can y to the ball and inict
big hits as well as anyone.
That superior talent may eventually wear
down the Gators, but SHP will make sure
Gauchos work for every score they get.
Serra, on the other hand, is getting a lot
more respect about its chances of capturing
the Division I crown when the Padres take
on Del Oro of the Sacramento area. Both
played De La Salle this season, with Del
Oro getting blown out while the Padres fell
just short once again.
The general consensus on this one is that
it will be very close, with the Padres get-
ting the slight edge among the Internet set.
Win or lose, just having a pair of San
Mateo County teams in Nor Cal champi-
onship games is a big feather in the cap for
Peninsula football.

Boy, if the basketball and soccer seasons
were actual living, breathing entities, they
would have been like a pair of homebound
dogs who are uncontrollably happy when
their master comes home. Those sports
have busted out of the gate since the calen-
dar turned to December.
Ive been out of the loop the last two
weeks or so rst on a Thanksgiving
vacation and then spending last week in
my sickbed with the u but I couldnt
help but notice the number of soccer and
basketball results ooding my inbox.
No rest for the weary, however. It seems
the winter sports have caught us a little bit
by surprise, but the fall season has gone
unseasonably long with the Menlo School
volleyball team advancing to the state
championship match and the Serra and
Sacred Heart Prep football teams winning
Central Coast Section titles and advancing
to Nor Cal championship games.
With only a few football games left,
however, look for the Daily Journal to
ramp up its coverage of the winter sports
schedule.
Before you know it, the baseball season
will be upon us.

The 49ers 19-17 win over Seattle Sunday
further conrms my belief the Seahawks
wont win the Super Bowl.
If Seattle has home-eld advantage
throughout the playoffs, punch their tick-
ets to New York for the Super Bowl in
February. The Seahawks simply do not lose
at home. In fact, they dominate in front of
the 12th Man. In six home wins this sea-
son, Seattle has won by an average of 17
points.
On the road? Bit of a different story.
Away from Seattle, the Seahawks are 5-2
and have a margin of just plus-5.6 points.
Granted, theyre tough to beat period, but
put the Seahawks in the cold in New York
against Tom Brady and New England? Im
liking the Golden Boys chances.

SALVADOR, Brazil The World Cup may
be great for planet soccer, but it isnt so
good for planet Earth.
FIFA says the 2014 tournament, which
will require huge amounts of air travel to
venues across Brazil, will produce the equiv-
alent of 2.72 million metric tons of carbon
dioxide, a greenhouse gas.
That means staging the monthlong tour-
nament will produce as much carbon dioxide
as 560,000 passenger cars do in one year,
according to the greenhouse gas calculator
on the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agencys website.
In an effort to curb pollution, FIFA will
nance such projects as tree planting trees,
which help reduce carbon emissions. FIFAs
head of corporate social responsibility,
Federico Addiechi, said in an interview that
the ruling body will be spending several
million dollars.
Teams, spectators, officials and others
will have to crisscross the worlds fth-
largest country, mostly by air, because the
64 World Cup matches are scattered across
12 stadiums.
Fans will produce about 90 percent of
World Cup carbon emissions, Addiechi said.
The rest about 251,000 tons is direct-
ly from FIFAs activities. That includes trav-
el for teams, referees, FIFAofcials, carbon
produced by their hotels, the use of stadiums
and other tournament-related activities.
Were going to offset 100 percent of
those emissions, Addiechi said.
That could be done by nancing reforesta-
tion in Brazil, wind farms, hydroelectric
plants or other projects. The projects will
be announced next year. Addiechi said they
will cost FIFAabout $2.5 million, which is
still just a fraction of the billions expected
in World Cup revenue.
AFIFA-commissioned study breaks down
World Cup emissions like this:
213,706 tons from the Confederations
Cup tournament in June.
38,048 tons from other preparations,
including last weeks draw, which required
more than 3,000 guests and journalists to
trek to a huge tent erected at a remote beach
resort on Brazils Atlantic coast.

NEW YORK Jameis Winston
will have plenty of company at
the Heisman Trophy ceremony
though hes not expected to have
much competition.
The Florida State quarterback
was among a record-tying six
Heisman finalists revealed
Monday, along with Northern
Illinois Jordan Lynch, Texas
A&Ms Johnny Manziel,
Alabamas AJ McCarron, Auburns
Tre Mason and Boston Colleges
Andre Williams.
Six nalists invited to New York
for the presentation are the most
since 1994. The winner will be
announced Saturday night.
Winston is the overwhelming
favorite to win the award now that
a sexual assault complaint against
him in Tallahassee, Fla., has been
closed without charges being led.
He could also become the second
freshman to win the award.
Manziel was the rst just last year.
Famous Jameis, like Johnny
Football last season, is a redshirt
freshman.
While Winston was a lock to be
invited, the rest of the eld was
muddled. Some contenders had late
stumbles (Manziel and Lynch),
others (Mason and Williams) made
late runs.
Manziel will try to join another
exclusive Heisman club by becom-
ing the second player to win the
award twice. Ohio States Archie
Grifn won the award in 1974 and
75. The Aggies quarterback is
third in the nation in total offense
with 368 yards per game.
Lynch led No. 24 Northern
Illinois (12-1) to within a victory
of a BCS bid and has set the major
college record for yards rushing
for a quarterback this season with
1,815. He also tweeted that he was
a nalist about ve minutes before
the official announcement was
made on ESPN by 1996 winner
Danny Wuerffel.
NYC here I come!! Thanks to
the coaches teammates and media
relation couldnt of did it wt out
them! the record-setting senior
posted.
McCarron completed 67 percent
of his passes for 2,676 yards and
26 touchdowns for the fourth-
ranked Crimson Tide (11-1).
This will be my rst trip to New
York City, and I cant put into
words how much it means to me,
McCarron said in a statement
released by the school. I am truly
privileged to have the opportunity
to represent our team at the
Heisman ceremony. None of this
would be possible without my
coaches and teammates.
Mason helped No. 2 Auburn
reach the BCS title game, running
for 304 yards and four TDs in the
SEC championship game. He is
ninth in the country in rushing
(124 ypg).
When I heard the news, I was in
disbelief, Mason said in a state-
ment. For me to be invited to the
Heisman ceremony, I am honored
and blessed. I couldnt have done it
without my teammates; this is an
honor for all of them also.
Williams is the nations leading
rusher at 175 yards per game and
the 16th player in FBS to run for
2,000 yards in a season.
Winstons arrival as Florida
States starting quarterback was
being touted as a major event in
the spring and he has surpassed
the hype. The Alabama native is
on pace to break the NCAA record
for passer efficiency rating
(190.1) and has already set records
for yards passing (3,820) and TD
passes (38) for a freshman.
Winstons only issues have
come off the eld. About a month
ago, a year-old sexual assault com-
plaint against him made by a
female Florida State student was
given by police to the state attor-
neys ofce for a full investiga-
tion.
Awoman claimed Winston raped
her. Winstons lawyer said the sex
was consensual. Winston contin-
ued to play, and play well, during
the investigation. Last week, the
state attorney announced there
would be no charges led in the
case, and two days later Winston
threw for three touchdown passes
and ran for a score as No. 1 Florida
State won the Atlantic Coast
Conference championship game
45-7 against Duke and wrapped up
a spot in the BCS title game.
In the latest straw poll released
Monday by HeismanPundit.com,
which has correctly predicted the
last seven winners, Wi nst on
received seven of the 10 rst-place
votes and 26 points to easily out-
distance Lynch (eight points and
two rst-place votes).
All six nalists are expected to
attend the ceremony, which would
match 94 for the most in Heisman
history. That season Colorado
tailback Rashaan Salaam won the
Heisman, and Penn States Ki-Jana
Carter and Kerry Collins, along
with Alcorn States Steve McNair,
Alabamas Jay Barker and Miamis
Warren Sapp were nalists.
In 1989, eight players were
invited to the ceremony, but only
four attended. Among the missing
was Houstons Andre Ware, who
won the award but was preparing
for a game.

ALAMEDA Stumbling to the
finish of a losing season has
become an all-too-familiar feeling
around the Oakland Raiders.
With 11 straight years without a
winning record or playoff berth
and an NFL-worst 120 losses since
the start of the 2003 season, the
Raiders have had to search for any
small positives they can nd.
Despite coming off a 37-27 loss
to a struggling New York Jets team
held to six points the two previous
weeks, the Raiders (4-9) see signs
of progress in being competitive
most weeks and being done in by a
few small mistakes rather than
being completely overmatched
like they were a year ago.
You have to appreciate where
you came from, where we were last
year and this year, receiver Rod
Streater said. Our record might not
be different, but as a team were
right there. We just have to get that
one thing to help us get that win at
the end.
That has eluded the Raiders so far
as they have lost six games they
held leads in or were tied in the sec-
ond half.
That was not the case against
the Jets as Oakland fell into a 20-
3 first-half hole after Matt
McGloin threw an interception
deep in his own territory and
Marquette King had a punt blocked
for a touch-
down.
The Raiders
played better in
the second half,
scoring 17
points on their
first three
drives, but were
unable to come
up with key
stops and lost their third straight
game.
They have three shots left to sur-
pass last seasons win total, starting
Sunday at home against Kansas City
(10-3) followed by a visit to San
Diego (6-7) and the season nale at
home against Denver (11-2).
I think were a lot closer,
coach Dennis Allen said.
Obviously the record doesnt say
so. We all recognize that at the end
of the day this is a production busi-
ness. We understand that you are
what your record says you are. But
I also know theres a lot of areas
where this football team has
improved.
Whether the improvement is
enough to bring Allen back for a
third season may not be determined
until after the nal three games.
Allen said he and general manager
Reggie McKenzie remain in lock-
step in their vision for the fran-
chise and said he is worried about
beating Kansas City on Sunday,
not his own status.
Allen has lost more games in his
rst two seasons than any coach in
Raiders history.
The only coach the team has
brought back after losing records
in the rst two seasons was Tom
Cable, who went 9-19 his rst two
years after replacing the red Lane
Kifn after four games in 2008.
Cable went 8-8 in his nal sea-
son in Oakland before being red
after the 2010 season.
Hue Jackson then went 8-8 in his
only season as Raiders coach
before McKenzie brought in Allen
to help lead a franchise rebuild.
Allen still has strong support in
the locker room, where the players
have bought into his approach
even if they havent always been
able to turn that into wins.

CHICAGO Harmless lung cancer? Aprovocative study
found that nearly 1 in 5 lung tumors detected on CT scans
are probably so slow-growing that they would never cause
problems.
The analysis suggests the worlds No. 1 cause of cancer
deaths isnt as lethal as doctors once thought.
In the study, these were not false-positives suspicious
results that turn out upon further testing not to be cancer.
These were indeed cancerous tumors, but ones that caused no
symptoms and were unlikely ever to become deadly, the
researchers said.
Still, the results are not likely to change how doctors
treat lung cancer.
For one thing, the disease is usually diagnosed after
symptoms develop, when tumors show up on an ordinary
chest X-ray and are potentially life-threatening.
Also, doctors dont know yet how to determine which
symptomless tumors found on CT scans might become dan-
gerous, so they automatically treat the cancer aggressively.
The ndings underscore the need to identify biological
markers that would help doctors determine which tumors are
harmless and which ones require treatment, said Dr. Edward
Patz, Jr., lead author and a radiologist at Duke University
Medical Center. He is among researchers working to do just
that.
Patz said patients who seek lung cancer screening should
be told about the study results.
People have to understand that were going to nd some
cancers which if wed never looked, we never would have
had to treat, he said. Among patients and even many doc-
tors, its not something that is commonly known with
lung cancer.
A leader of an inuential government-appointed health
panel agreed.
Putting the word harmless next to cancer is such a for-
eign concept to people, said Dr. Michael LeFevre, co-
chairman of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
The panel recently issued a draft proposal recommending
annual CT scans for high-risk current and former heavy
smokers echoing advice from the American Cancer
Society. A nal recommendation is pending, but LeFevre
said the panel had already assumed that screening might
lead to overdiagnosis.
The more we bring public awareness of this, then the
more informed decisions might be when people decide to
screen or not, LeFevre said. He called the study a very
important contribution, but said doctors will face a chal-
lenge in trying to explain the results to patients.
In testimonials, patients often say lung cancer screening
via CT scans cured them, but the study suggests that in
many cases, we cured them of a disease we didnt need to
nd in the rst place, LeFevre said.
The study was published Monday in the journal JAMA
Internal Medicine.
More than 200,000 Americans are diagnosed with lung
cancer each year, and more than half of them die.
Worldwide, there are about 1.5 million lung cancer deaths
annually.
The new study is an analysis of data from the National
Lung Cancer Screening Trial National Cancer Institute
research involving 53,452 people at high risk for lung can-
cer who were followed for about six years.
Half of them got three annual low-dose CT scans a type
of X-ray that is much more sensitive than the ordinary vari-
ety and half got three annual conventional chest X-rays.
During six years of follow-up, 1,089 lung cancers were
diagnosed in CT scan patients, versus 969 in those who got
chest X-rays.
That would suggest CT scans are nding many early cases
of lung cancer that may never advance to the point where
they could be spotted on an ordinary chest X-ray.
An earlier report on the study found that 320 patients
would need to get CT screening to prevent one lung cancer
death.
The new analysis suggests that for every 10 lives saved
by CT lung cancer screening, almost 14 people will have
been diagnosed with a lung cancer that would never have
caused any harm, said Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, the cancer soci-
etys deputy chief medical ofcer.
He said that is a higher rate of overdiagnosis than he
would have predicted, but that the study shows how much
understanding of cancer has evolved. Decades ago, every
cancer was a bad cancer, he said.
Now its known that certain cancers, including many
prostate cancers, grow so slowly that they never need treat-
ment.
Study says many lung cancer tumors prove harmless
People have to understand
that were going to nd some cancers
which if wed never looked,we never would
have had to treat. ... its not something
that is commonly known with lung cancer.

WASHINGTON For months, the talk
was all about computer code. About
response times. About glitches and bugs.
People who didnt know a URL from an
http were blithely expounding on software
snags and web design, thanks to the clunky
launch of healthcare.gov, the insurance
marketplace for the governments big
health care overhaul.
With the website improving and tech
chatter settling down, the conversation
about the Affordable Care Act, or
Obamacare, is turning in other directions.
Its about trust. Its about big govern-
ment. Its about politics. And, oh yeah, its
about your health care, too.
WOULD YOU BUY A
USED CAR FROM THIS MAN?
Or an agenda? The debate over President
Barack Obamas health care law has gradual-
ly morphed into a broader discussion about
whether he is to be trust-
ed. Its a critical question
for Obama, who could
always rely on strong rat-
ings on his leadership
and personal qualities,
even if people did not
agree with his policies.
It turned out that the
confidence he exuded
prior to the disastrous
launch of the health care exchanges was
misplaced. Then came revelations that,
despite Obamas assurances that people
could keep their plans if they liked them,
millions of Americans faced insurance
policy cancellations. Now Republicans
are highlighting questions about
whether people will be able to keep their
doctors.
Obama has tried to head off the cancella-
tions by giving insurance companies more
exibility. But Republicans have been only
too happy to pound him for broken promis-
es, and to insist that he knew all along what
would happen.
The debate has taken a toll on the presi-
dents credibility. A Quinnipiac University
survey of registered voters last month found
the share of Americans who thought Obama
was honest and trustworthy had fallen 10
percentage points over the fall, to just 44
percent.
The health care launch turned out to have
moral dimensions as well as policy dimen-
sions, says Robert Blendon, a Harvard
professor of health policy and political
analysis. Obama really has to restore con-
dence in himself. Hes got an agenda for
the rest of his term here.
And Republicans will be sure to ask at
every turn why Americans should take the
president at his word on immigration
reform or budget policy or any other big
issue if he led them astray on health care.
THE BIG G
The struggle over Obamas health care law
has reinvigorated a debate thats been going
on for centuries and never seems to get set-
tled: the core question of what government
should or shouldnt do for people, and how
it should spend their money.
For years now, Republicans have dis-
played remarkable message discipline in
zinging the Obama White House for creat-
ing a government-centered health care
delivery system, arguing that the matter
would be better left largely to private
forces. The failed website sign-up launch
generated a whole new round of head shak-
ing about government overreach.
Rep. Darrell Issa, the California
Republican who misses no opportunity to
investigate perceived shortcomings in the
overhaul, devoted a hearing last week to the
limitations of Big Government when it
comes to health care.
By its very design, the federal govern-
ment may never be efcient or effective or
innovative enough to carry out big initia-
tives like Obamacare, nor should it be, he
says.
Its the antithesis of Obamas yes-we-can
philosophy that government should step in
to ensure all Americans have the opportuni-
ty to thrive and succeed.

25,000 paper applications that must be
processed by Dec. 23 for the applicants to
get health insurance starting in the new

Roy Kennedy, a spokesman for Covered

applications are from insurance agents who
were unable to access the online portal in
the rst few days after the exchange opened
on Oct. 1. He says the agency has added staff
to help.
Still, the California Association of Health

asserted that growing inequality is
the defining challenge of our time,
signaling that it will be a major
theme for Democrats in next years
elections.
In this country, you dont get any-
where without working hard, said
James Lott, 28, a pharmacist in
Renton, Wash., who adds to his six-
figure salary by day-trading stocks.
The son of Nigerian immigrants, Lott
says he was able to get ahead by earn-
ing an advanced pharmacy degree. He
makes nearly $200,000 a year.
After growing up on food stamps,
Lott now splurges occasionally on
nicer restaurants, Hugo Boss shoes
and extended vacations to New
Orleans, Atlanta and parts of Latin
America. He believes government
should play a role in helping the dis-
advantaged. But he says the poor
should be encouraged to support
themselves, explaining that his sin-
gle mother rose out of hardship by
starting a day-care business in their
home.
The new research suggests that
affluent Americans are more numerous
than government data depict, encom-
passing 21 percent of working-age
adults for at least a year by the time
they turn 60. That proportion has
more than doubled since 1979.
Even outside periods of unusual
wealth, members of this group gener-
ally hover in the $100,000-plus
income range, keeping them in the
top 20 percent of earners.
At the same time, an increasing
polarization of low-wage work and
high-skill jobs has left middle-
income careers depleted.
For many in this group, the
American dream is not dead. They
have reached affluence for parts of
their lives and see it as very attain-
able, even if the dream has become
more elusive for everyone else, says
Mark Rank, a professor at
Washington University in St. Louis,
who calculated numbers on the afflu-
ent for a forthcoming book, Chasing
the American Dream, to be published
by the Oxford University Press.
As the fastest-growing group based
on take-home pay, the new rich tend
to enjoy better schools, employment
and gated communities, making it
easier to pass on their privilege to
their children.
Because their rising status comes at
a time when upward mobility in the
U.S. ranks lowest among wealthy
industrialized counties, the spending
attitudes of the new rich have implica-
tions for politics and policy. Its now
become even harder for people at the
bottom to move up.
The group is more liberal than
lower-income groups on issues such
as abortion and gay marriage, accord-
ing to an analysis of General Social
Survey data by the AP-NORC Center
for Public Affairs Research. But when
it comes to money, their views arent
so open. Theyre wary of any govern-
ment role in closing the income gap.
In Gallup polling in October, 60
percent of people making $90,000 or
more said average Americans already
had plenty of opportunity to get
ahead. Among those making less than
$48,000, the share was 48 percent
***
Sometimes referred to by marketers
as the mass affluent, the new rich
make up roughly 25 million U.S.
households and account for nearly 40
percent of total U.S. consumer spend-
i ng.
While paychecks shrank for most
Americans after the 2007-2009 reces-
sion, theirs held steady or edged high-
er. In 2012, the top 20 percent of U.S.
households took home a record 51
percent of the nations income. The
median income of this group is more
than $150,000.
Once concentrated in the old-money
enclaves of the Northeast, the new
rich are now spread across the U.S.,
mostly in bigger cities and their sub-
urbs. They include Washington, D.C.;
Boston, Los Angeles, New York, San
Francisco and Seattle. By race, whites
are three times more likely to reach
affluence than nonwhites.
Paul F. Nunes, managing director at
Accentures Institute for High
Performance and Research, calls this
group the new power brokers of con-
sumption. Because they spend just
60 percent of their before-tax income,
often setting the rest aside for retire-
ment or investing, he says their
capacity to spend more will be impor-
tant to a U.S. economic recovery.
In Miami, developers are betting
on a growing luxury market, build-
i ng hi gher-end malls featuring
Cartier, Armani and Louis Vuitton
and hoping to expand on South
Floridas Bal Harbour, a favored
hideaway of the rich.
Its not that I dont have money.
Its more like I dont have time, said
Deborah Sponder, 57, walking her
dog Ava recently along Miamis blos-
soming Design District. She was
headed to one of her two art galleries
this one between the Emilio Pucci
and Cartier stores and close to the
Louis Vuitton and Hermes storefronts.
But Sponder says she doesnt con-
sider her income of $250,000 as
upper class, noting that she is paying
college tuition for her three children.
Between rent, schooling and every-
thing it comes in and goes out.
The new richs influence will only
grow as middle-class families below
them struggle. The Federal Reserve
said Monday that the nations wealth
rose 2.6 percent from July through
September to $77.3 trillion, a record
high, boosted in part by a surgi ng
stock market. But the gains havent
been equally distributed; the wealthi-
est 10 percent of U.S. households
own about 80 percent of stocks.
***
Both Democrats and Republicans
are awakening to the political reali-
ties presented by this new demo-
graphic bubble.
Traditionally Republican, the group
makes up more than 1 in 4 voters and
is now more politically divided, bet-
ter educated and less white and male
than in the past, according to
Election Day exit polls dating to the
1970s.
Sixty-nine percent of upper-income
voters backed Republican Ronald
Reagan and his supply-side econom-
ics of tax cuts in 1984. By 2008,
Democrat Barack Obama had split
their vote evenly, 49-49.
In 2012, Obama lost the group,
with 54 percent backing Republican
Mitt Romney.
For the Democrats part, tradition-
al economic populism is poorly suit-
ed for affluent professionals, says
Alan Abramowitz, an Emory
University professor who specializes
in political polarization.
The new rich includes Robert Kane,
39, of Colorado Springs, Colo.
A former stockbroker who once
owned three houses and voted stead-
fastly Republican, Kane says he was
humbled after the 2008 financial
meltdown, which he says exposed
Wall Streets excesses. Now a senior
vice president for a private equity firm
specializing in the marijuana busi-
ness, Kane says hes concerned about
upward mobility for the poor and calls
wealthy politicians such as Romney
out of touch.
But Kane, now a registered inde-
pendent, draws the line when it comes
to higher taxes. A dollar is best in
your hand rather than the govern-
ments, he says.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Its a good
day to engage in activities that will improve your
surroundings and make you more comfortable at
home or work. Do your own research and make
decisions based on what you discover.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Move along at
your own speed. Refrain from letting anyone push
you into something that you have reservations
about. The less you leave unfinished, the better you
will feel about your future.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Issues involving
honesty or integrity are likely to arise. Speak
up and set anyone straight who may not fully
understand what you want or think. A judicious
compromise will help you avoid trouble.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Offer favors and
address issues concerning contracts, loans or
settlements. Getting together with someone from your
past will pay off. A change is heading your way.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Unpredictable behavior
can work for and against you. Stick to your usual means
and methods at work, but use the element of surprise
when socializing or taking part in physical activities.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Offer your skills to
someone you want to impress. Expanding your interests
and knowledge will also encourage new friendships or a
reconnection with someone from your past.

likely. Take precautions and get what you want in
writing. Dont be afraid to make an unexpected change
in your plans if it will help you achieve your aims.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Readdress a situation
that is constantly changing. Let go of the past to give
yourself the freedom to take advantage of a situation
that could improve your life.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Try new things, meet new
people and enjoy being a participant today. Dont
let anyone dictate what you can and cannot do.
Jealousy could be behind a problem you have with
a colleague or family member.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be proactive when
dealing with health or financial concerns. Changes
going on at home may not be to your liking at first,
but be patient. Self-improvement projects will
bring good results.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) If you face unexpected
situations with grace, dignity and sound common
sense, you will come out ahead. Dont jump to
conclusions about a situation or make assumptions
about someone. Take one step at a time.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Do whatever it takes to
nish what you start. Dedication will count for much
when it comes to making an impression. Travel or
revisiting old friends or places will be eventful.
