Shift coming to San
Carlos school leadership
A number of San Carlos education leaders
will be shifting jobs Jan. 3 in a move district
officials say will strengthen an aligned, consis-
tent and high quality curriculum from kinder-
garten through eighth grade across all school
sites.
Those in the school community were notified
via e-mail yesterday from Superintendent Craig
Baker.
“In these extremely difficult budget times, I
can understand people being concerned about
any potential financial impact of these changes.
Please know, however, that as a result of our
ability to leverage the talents of our staff, all of
these moves will fit within our existing budget,”
he wrote.
Baker expects the changes to be implemented
smoothly. But it may take time to become
accustomed to people in their new roles.
Lynette Hovland, principal of Central Middle
School, will take the role of director of curricu-
lum, instruction and accountability — a district
office position consolidating a number of roles.
Hovland’s new position should allow the dis-
trict to start needed professional development.

Officials set goals for last year on council
Foster City looks toward budget issues, redevelopment in 2011
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Rick Wykoff spent his last day as
mayor of Foster City yesterday as he
passed the gavel over to Linda Koelling
in a council reorganization ceremony
last night.
Both Wykoff and Koelling face term
limits and cannot run for re-election
when their current terms expire in
2011.
After serving on the council for
seven years together, the two will
spend their last year on the council
working hard to stem a $3.4 million
ongoing structural deficit.
“She will be a great mayor to go out
with,” Wykoff said about Koelling.
“There is no question about her dedica-
tion to the city. We are not always
agreeable but she is great to work
with.”
Before leaving office, both agree that
finding a developer for the vacant 15-
acre site adjacent to City Hall should
be a priority.
Moving forward to create a “down-
town-style” plan for the vacant 15
acres will help to complete “this
planned communi-
ty,” Koelling said.
The city antici-
pates realizing near-
ly $2 million a year
in taxes and fees
from the site once it
is developed. The
city had entered an
Rick Wykoff exclusive develop-
ment deal to con-
struct a mixed-used residential com-
plex on the site called Mirabella but
financing for the project fell through
earlier this year.
“We need to recognize the value of
the property and what it can bring to
Foster City,” Wykoff said. “We don’t
need to enter into any hasty agreements
that are not in the best interest of the
city.”
Although Foster City faces a deficit,
its reserves are healthy and the city is
known for being fiscally responsible.
Wykoff, after all, was the city man-
ager of Foster City for 17 years until
his retirement in 1994.
Koelling calls Wykoff the council’s
“guiding light.”
“He has a wealth of information and
LOCAL
brings a unique
dimension to the
council,” Koelling
said.
The council is
now receiving quar-
terly financial
reports to help it
anticipate the
Linda Koelling impacts to its rev-
enue from declines
in property or sales tax, for instance.
“Getting the budget balanced is the
top priority,” Wykoff said. “I am most
proud that the city has demonstrated
fiscal responsibility while I’ve been on
the council. We’ve planned ahead.”
He credits a strong city staff for
keeping the city running so well.
Wykoff served as mayor in 2005 and
2010 and Koelling in 2006.
Wykoff was first elected to the City
Council in 2001 to fill a vacated two-
year term and was elected to the City
Council in 2003, to serve his first four-
year term, and again in 2007.

Suspects sought in robbery at 7-Eleven
Three men armed with semi-automatic handguns entered a
7-Eleven in San Bruno Sunday evening, ordered customers
and employees to lie on the ground and then stole merchan-
dise and cash from the store and took belongings from the
customers, according to police.
Police responded to the store at at 2020 Rollingwood Drive
at about 5:30 p.m. Victims of the robbery said the suspects
fled on foot, according to police.
All three suspects were wearing black hooded sweatshirts
and each was armed, according to police. One of the suspects
was wearing a white ski mask and the other two were wear-
ing black ski masks, according to police.
Two of the suspects were described as tall and slim and the
third short and heavyset, according to police.
Anyone with information on the incident is urged to call
San Bruno police at 616-7100.
Pedestrians only on Theatre Way
Beginning Dec. 10, Redwood City’s Theatre Way will be
closed to vehicle traffic from 6 p.m. to midnight every Friday.
The city wants the street between Winslow
Street/Middlefield Road and Broadway to be more inviting for
pedestrians as they enjoy the area’s outside seating, ornamen-
tal lighting and main entrance to the downtown movie theater.
Each Friday evening, the city will erect short vertical posts at
the Winslow Street end of Theatre Way to divert traffic.
The program is expected to last at least through summer
2011 at which time the city will assess the impact on traffic
and the improvement for pedestrians.
The city will place an electronic message board at the
entrance to Theatre Way for two weeks advising motorists of
the upcoming Friday night closures.

STATE
GOVERNMENT
• Assemblyman
Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, joined
Speaker John Perez
Monday in introduc-
ing legislation to
restore funding for child-care services that
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed
when he signed the 2010-11 budget.
The legislation is intended to continue
services for 81,000 children and 60,000
families in the CalWORKs program who
were formerly on welfare. In San Mateo
County, hundreds of families have been
impacted.
The $256 million in cuts were scheduled
to be implemented Nov. 1, but were put on
hold by the courts and maintained through
a joint effort of the Assembly — which
contributed $6 million cut from its budget
— and First 5 Commissions throughout
the state, including the San Mateo County
First 5 Commission.
• Hill, prompted by the tragic death of a
19-year-old Burlingame resident, intro-
duced legislation Monday that would crack
down on party-bus operators who allow
underage drinking aboard their vehicles.
The legislation, Assembly Bill 45, would
close a loophole in current law that holds
limousine operators — but not operators of
party buses — responsible for underage
drinking on their vehicles.
• Hill introduced legislation Monday
that would strengthen pipeline safety regu-
lations and ensure that ratepayer money is
not used by utilities to pay for penalties
assessed against them by the California
Public Utilities Commission.
The bill was prompted after the Sept. 9
explosion and fire in San Bruno that killed

Monday to end life sentences for juvenile
offenders. No other country in the world
outside of the United States allows children
to be sentenced to life without parole

LWOP for crimes they committed as kids.
Under Senate Bill 9, courts could review
cases of juveniles sentenced to life without
parole after 10 years, potentially allowing
some individuals to receive a new mini-

Renee was an abused child and a young teen raising her younger

recommended Peer Counseling classes. Renee was excited at the
new courses and completed the program in a year. She was then

time work with Caminar’s REACH (Recovery, Empowerment, and
A Client’s Success Story . . . life was complicated. Community Housing) program.

Renee’s life story serves
others moving forward
Thanks its supporters:
Someone cared enough to listen and help. That help brought hope-
triggering a chain of life-saving events. Renee credits much of her
current success to Caminar, a non-profit agency whose programs
provide residential treatment, case management, supported
employment and education, a medication clinic and permanent
housing to adults with severe mental illness in San Mateo County.
Caminar’s services help lead disabled individuals to independent –
rather than dependent - living.
After a chaotic youth, her early adult years were haunted with
memories of her past. She went from college-going wife and
mother to 2 years of drug-dependency and 4 years of homelessness.
Suicide attempts were varied and numerous. She tried to overdose
with Ibuprofen and alcohol; slit her wrists; stood at a bridge’s edge
until she changed her mind. She drove toward a cliff near Hwy 280
before deciding to stay on the road and go straight to a local hospital.
“I didn’t know what was wrong with me. I just wanted to die,”
Renee said. “For 4 years I fell through the cracks. On December
26, 2000 my life changed- I was asked what was wrong. No one
ever asked or listened to me before. Caminar started helping me
and things started falling into place.”
With the advice of her mental health treatment team, two years
later Renee returned to school. She called Disabled Student
Services at College of San Mateo. “They said they’d be waiting
for me in the parking lot.” It was then Renee was introduced to
Caminar’s Supported Education Program and began attending
classes. “It was tough at first and I was doubtful,” Renee said.
Renee, through her employment, was now providing the type of
support she had once received; helping individuals, with stories
familiar to her own, to gain and maintain meaningful employment,
stable housing and independence.
“I had the most difficult clients,” Renee said. “I said bring it on. It
let me know I can accomplish things. I have a caring spirit. Now I
have the opportunity to care for others.”
Four years ago, Renee took the Civil Service exam, scored 100%
and was one of 16 out of 300 candidates for a job as a Community
Worker Consumer Provider with San Mateo County BHRS; she
now owns a home, has a family and feels accomplished.
“The disadvantaged need someone who is nonjudgmental,” Renee
said. “I know what it’s like. I knew the shame and the stigma. I
look back, it was painful. But with experiences – like attending
Caminar’s Supported Education and working for Caminar – I
am able to help others. Caminar’s team was one of many to give
me courage, hope and determination to claim my life back – a
life better than it was before my crisis. It’s all part of the journey
toward recovery. I’m finally happy with myself.”

Gay marriage hearing attracts viewers
By Paul Elias and Lisa Leff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The legal
fight over California’s gay marriage
ban went before a federal appeals
court Monday in a hearing that
reached a nationwide TV audience
anxious for a final decision on
whether the measure violates the
U.S. Constitution.
The hearing before a three-judge
panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals also focused on whether
supporters of voter-approved
Proposition 8 have legal standing to
challenge a lower court ruling that
the ban was unconstitutional.
The judges did not issue an imme-
diate ruling and no timetable has
been set.
C-SPAN piped the nearly three-
hour hearing into law schools,
courthouses, community centers
and elsewhere across the country,
giving the public outside the 9th
Circuit headquarters in San
Francisco its first — and possibly
last — direct look at the debate rag-
ing in the landmark challenge that
could impact gay marriage bans in
other states.

U.S.:WikiLeak gives hit list to al-Qaida

By Sharon Theimer
Around the world
Eurozone says bailout funds enough, for now
BRUSSELS — Top European officials insisted Monday
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — In a disclosure of
some of the most sensitive information
yet revealed by WikiLeaks, the website
has put out a secret cable listing sites
worldwide that the U.S. considers criti-
cal to its national security. U.S. officials
said the leak amounts to giving a hit list
to terrorists.
Among the locations cited in the
diplomatic cable from Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton are undersea
communications lines, mines, antivenin
factories and suppliers of food and man-
ufacturing materials.
The Pentagon declined to comment
Monday on the details of what it called
“stolen” documents containing classified
information. But a spokesman, Col.
David Lapan, called the disclosure
“damaging” and said it gives valuable
information to adversaries.
The State Department echoed the
Pentagon’s statement. “Releasing such
information amounts to giving a target-
ing list to groups like al-Qaida,” agency
spokesman P.J. Crowley said. British
Foreign Secretary William Hague con-
demned the disclosure, telling the BBC
it was a “reprehensible” act committed
“without regard to wider concerns of
security, the security of millions of peo-
ple.”
Assange may surrender
By Sylvia Hui and John Heilprin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Julian Assange’s lawyer
was arranging to deliver the WikiLeaks
founder to British police for questioning
in a sex-crimes investigation of the man
who has angered Washington by spilling
thousands of government secrets on the
Internet.
Lawyer Mark Stephens told reporters in
London that the Metropolitan Police had
called him to say they had received an
arrest warrant from Sweden for Assange.
Assange has been staying at an undis-
closed location in Britain.
“We are in the process of making
arrangements to meet with police by con-
sent,” Stephens said Monday, declining to
say when Assange’s interview with police
would take place.
The 39-year-old Australian is accused
of rape and sexual molestation in Sweden,
and the case could lead to his extradition.
He has denied the accusations, which
Stephens has said stem from a “dispute
over consensual but unprotected sex.” The
lawyer has said the Swedish investigation
has turned into a “political stunt.”

authorities closed Assange’s bank

that they have enough financial firepower right now to deal
with Europe’s government debt crisis — but did not rule out
increasing Europe’s bailout fund in the future.
Jean-Claude Juncker, who chaired a meeting of the euro-
zone’s 16 finance ministers, said that there wasn’t any imme-
diate need to increase the 750 ($1 trillion) financial backstop
despite concerns that it just isn’t enough. The fund is for euro-
zone governments in danger of running out of money.
“For the time being, there’s no need to increase,” Juncker
said after the meeting.
South Korea holds naval firing drills amid tension
SEOUL, South Korea — South Korean troops pushed
ahead with naval firing drills Monday, a day after North Korea
warned the exercises would aggravate tensions between the
rivals following the North’s deadly shelling of a front-line
South Korean island.
Regional powers stepped up diplomatic efforts to head off
further conflict, with President Barack Obama speaking to
China’s Hu Jintao by telephone Monday and top diplomats
from the U.S., South Korea and Japan scheduled to hold talks
later in Washington.
Iran talks recess with no signs of progress
GENEVA — Talks between Iran and six world powers
recessed Monday with no sign that Tehran was ready to dis-
cuss U.N. Security Council calls to curb its nuclear activities
that could be harnessed to make weapons, an official at the
negotiations said.
While the two sides were scheduled to meet in a second ses-
sion on Tuesday, the description of Monday’s meeting by the
official gave little reason to presume that Iran would relent
and agree to talks specifically addressing the U.N Security
Council demands.

More nations may pledge carbon limits at U.N. talks

By Arthur Max
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CANCUN, Mexico — U.N. cli-
mate talks moved into their decisive
week Monday with the agenda
dominated by future cuts in carbon
emissions and keeping countries
honest about their actions to control
global warming. Government min-
isters arrived in force to begin
applying political muscle to negoti-
ations that in the past week have
narrowed some disputes, but which
are likely to leave the toughest deci-
sions for the final hours of the 193-
nation conference on Friday.
Delegates were feeling pressure to
produce at least a modest agreement
from the two-week U.N. meeting to
restore credibility to the talks after
the last summit in Copenhagen failed
to agree on any binding action to rein
in emissions of global-warming
gases. “We cannot leave Cancun
empty-handed,” warned Connie
Hedegaard, the European Union’s top
climate official.
The conference seeks decisions on
establishing a “green fund” to help
poorer nations rein in greenhouse
gases and to adapt their economies
and infrastructure to a changing cli-
mate; an agreement making it easier
for developing nations to obtain
patented green technology from
advanced nations; and pinning down
more elements of a system for com-
pensating developing countries for
protecting their forests.

Lest we think that Santa only

Chicago-area Father Christmas
who may have taken too many

a Santa hat and fake fur coat,
reportedly shoved a staffer after
being kicked out of a resale store
for being loud and swearing at
customers. Police caught up to
him down the street where he
allegedly spit at and kicked an
officer. Naughty, naughty. For his
troubles, the man received a gift-

On the other hand, there are sev-

money to strangers. For instance,
one businessman in Portland hand-

last year and plans a double to

Take away

Editor,
Stanford Professor Enthoven,
70 peer-reviewers and the World
Bank estimate that California’s
boondoggle high-speed-rail proj-
ect will cost $213 billion for just
the first phase of construction.
Imagine the construction cost
overruns for Bay Bridge and
Boston’s Big Dig times 10.
Generations of Californians’ tax
dollars will be wasted on one
project, which by completion will
cost five times more than a
Southwest ticket from San
Francisco to Los Angeles. The
High-Speed Rail Authority board
already wasted $250 million just
by planning the routes.

pork money to pay down the bal-
looning federal deficit. Contact

I wonder how Steve Schmidt
qualifies as an expert and is grant-
ed a “guest perspective” column
(“Vision needed for high-speed
rail” in the Dec. 2 edition of the
Daily Journal). While Schmidt
was mayor of Menlo Park, several
other citizens and I called for his
resignation as he and other mem-
bers of his “council” hid their true
agenda in repaving Santa Cruz
Avenue. He chose not to resign
but was wise enough to not run
for re-election. Steve is anti-car,
anti-diesel train and anti-growth. I
tell you and your readers what I
told him in the Menlo Park City

The importance of voting
Editor,
The Nov. 2 election turnout of
approximately 65 percent of reg-
istered voters wasn’t bad but not
good. Where were the other 35
percent who did not vote? Where
are the so-called American citi-
zens who do not even register?
Except for being incapacitated,
health problems, in prison or on
parole for a felony, there is no
excuse.
The right and privilege to vote
ensures that all people have a
secret and independent vote that
is fundamental to our American
democracy. “Vote as if you life
depends on it, because it does.” If
you don’t, democracy will slowly
disappear to anarchy, dictator-
ships, etc. Voting is the only way,
we the people can define the prin-
ciples enshrined in the U.S. con-
stitution and the moral value of
the republic of our forefathers.
To all of our now voters, help
out and be an active American cit-
izen for a better United States of
America.

Iran is a deadly threat
Editor,
The WikiLeaks documents show
clearly that a nuclear-armed Iran
is a deadly threat to the entire
Middle East and Arab leaders fear
Iran much more than they fear
Israel. President Obama believes
that pleasing the Palestinians
would help lower the threat from
Iran. It did not work.
I suggested to the administra-
tion to read two books to help
them understand the Middle East
conflict is a cultural war. “Culture
and Conflict” by Salzman and
“The Arab Mind” by Patai, 1973
edition.
President Obama should work
for a new round of U.N. sanctions
against Iran and redouble efforts
to enforce existing sanctions. All
options must remain on the table.
The administration should stand
firm with Israel in its quest for
security and peace and not allow
secondary issues to divide them.

Sour day for stocks
By Chip Cutter
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks spent most of
Monday in a funk brought on by cautious
comments about the economy from
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben
Bernanke. Hopes for a compromise on
extending Bush-era tax cuts and unem-
ployment benefits erased some of the
losses.
The Dow Jones industrial average
ended down 20 points, breaking a three-
day winning streak. Stock indexes traded
in a tight range all day and volume was
light.
Stocks began the day on a sour note
after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben
Bernanke said the economic recovery is
still struggling to become “self-sustain-
ing” without government help.
In an interview with CBS’ “60
Minutes” that aired Sunday, Bernanke
argued that Congress shouldn’t cut
spending or boost taxes given how frag-
ile the economy remains. He also said it
could take four or five more years for
unemployment, now at 9.8 percent, to
fall to a historically normal 5 percent or 6
percent.

Game of a lifetime Losing

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
There are two ways Trevor Jacobs’ game
could have gone Saturday: a Hollywood end-
ing or a nightmare.
Making just his second varsity start for the
Terra Nova football team, Jacobs was under
the brightest lights of the season: the Central
Coast Section Division III championship
game.
Jacobs didn’t blink. Filling in for an injured
Chris Forbes, Jacobs helped guide the Tigers
to a 35-13 win over Monterey, throwing for
307 yards and three touchdowns.
“In the beginning, on the bus going over (to
Westmont High in Cupertino), I was thinking
about plays over and over again,” Jacobs said.
“I was kind of jittery, that first drive. After
that, I tried to make plays.”
Terra Nova coach Bill Gray believes
Jacobs’ dedication to his team and his game
was the key ingredient to his success Saturday
night. Despite being the entrenched No. 2 sig-
nal caller, Gray said Jacobs, a junior, prepared
every day as if he was starting the next game.
In Terra Nova’s offense, the backup is only
one play away from going into the game.
“There is no denying the fact the quarter-
back is the second running back (in our
offense),” Gray said. “[Jacobs] has been a
very dedicated and committed athlete to our
program since he was a freshman. Along the
way, there were some frustrating times, but he
is the consummate team player.”
The biggest X-factor going into the cham-
pionship game was who would start at quar-
terback for Terra Nova? The Tigers lost starter
Chris Forbes to a knee injury late in the
Tigers’ semifinal win over Jefferson. Jacobs
started for Forbes one other time this season
— during a 44-28 loss to King’s Academy.
Jacobs led the Tigers to 28 points in a game
that was truly lost by the defense. It can’t be
underestimated how crucial that start was.

T
he high school soccer season is under
way and there are already issues — at
least as far as Burlingame and San
Mateo go — with one of the biggest changes to
the Peninsula Athletic League in decades: a new
officials’ association.
The previous referee organization the PAL
was using was coming under increasing scrutiny
and complaint from PAL soccer coaches, who
believed several officials could not keep up
physically with the
game any longer. The
PAL Board of
Managers agreed to a
deal with a new organi-
zation this year in hopes
of allaying those con-
cerns.
Then, the San Mateo-
Burlingame game hap-
pened Friday night, a
game that was suspend-
ed at halftime by the
head official, who was
worried about his safety
following a rough-and-tumble first half between
the rivals. The official told the respective coach-
es the San Mateo players and fans were verbal-
ly abusive to him.
I had already planned to address this situation
when San Mateo athletic director Jeff Scheller
called Monday night to give his side of the story.
“I don’t want my kids to be known as the team
to be afraid of,” Scheller said. “They’re pretty
good kids.”
I think this was simply a case of a new offici-
ating administration coming into a new situation
and not knowing the history of the area. Anyone
who knows anything about the Peninsula high
school scene knows Burlingame and San Mateo
is about as big a rivalry you can get.
The officials for Friday night’s soccer game
certainly didn’t, and as the game got more and
more physical, the officials failed to take control

Sharks show signs of life in win over Detroit

By Larry Lage
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Logan Couture scored twice,
including the go-ahead goal 8 seconds after
Niclas Wallin’s goal, to lift the San Jose Sharks
to a 5-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on
Monday night.
Tomas Holmstrom and Johan Franzen each
had go-ahead goals in the first period, but the
Western Conference-leading Red Wings could-
n’t hold either lead. Joe Thornton made it 1-all
late in the frame and Dany Heatley gave San
Jose a two-goal lead late in the second.
Sharks 5, Red Wings 2
Couture sealed the victo-
ry in the third with his sec-
ond goal.
San Jose’s Antti Niemi
made 25 saves. Jimmy
Howard had 30 for Detroit,
which fell to 10-2-2 at
home.
San Jose improved to 6-5-
Logan Couture 2 on the road and moved
out of last place in Pacific
Division.
The Sharks, who jumped over Anaheim, have
alternated winning and losing for eight games.
Detroit lost its previous game in overtime after
winning four straight and nine of 11.
The Red Wings’ only other loss in regulation
at home was Oct. 28 against the Phoenix
Coyotes.
It looked as though they might roll to another
win when Holmstrom was perched in front of
the net and redirected Nicklas Lidstrom’s shot
into the net during a power play 7:48 into the
game.
Thornton had scored only once in 15 games
and had been held to one shot in three of four
games before he put in a short-handed goal dur-
ing on an odd-man rush with 4:01 left in the first.
He was set up by a cross-ice pass from Heatley.
Franzen finished a play in which each of
Detroit’s five skaters touched the puck. The
power-play goal put Detroit ahead 2-1 with 85
seconds remaining in the second.
San Jose snatched the momentum when
Wallin and Couture scored 8 seconds apart
about 5 minutes into the second period. Heatley
made it 4-2 with 1:03 remaining in the second,
and Couture ended any comeback hopes for
Detroit when his 12th goal gave the Sharks a 5-
2 edge with 8:43 left in the game.

Turn out the lights:‘Dandy Don’Meredith dies 49ers face a
By Jaime Aron
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Don Meredith was the
must-win game
happiest, most fun-loving guy wherever
he went, whether crooning country tunes
in the huddle as quarterback of the
against Seattle
Dallas Cowboys or jawing with Howard
Cosell in the broadcast booth as analyst
on the groundbreaking “Monday Night
Football.”
His irreverent personality made him
one of the most beloved figures in sports
and entertainment in the 1970s and
1980s, helping turn the Cowboys and
“Monday Night Football” into national
sensations.
“Dandy Don” died Sunday after suf-
fering a brain hemorrhage and lapsing
into a coma in Santa Fe, N.M., where he
lived out of the limelight with his wife,
Susan, for the last 25 years. He was 72.
A folksy foil to Cosell’s tell-it-like-it-
is pomposity, Meredith was at his best
with unscripted one-
liners — often aimed
at his broadcast part-
ners. His trademark,
though, came when
one team had the
game locked up.
Meredith would war-
ble, “Turn out the
Don Meredith lights, the party’s
over” — from a song
by his pal Willie Nelson.
Meredith played for the Cowboys from
1960-68, taking them from winless
expansion team to the brink of a champi-
onship. He was only 31 when he retired
before training camp in 1969, and a year
later wound up alongside Cosell in the
broadcast booth for the oddity of a
prime-time, weeknight NFL game.
The league pitched the idea to ABC,
the lowest-rated network, after CBS and
NBC tried occasional games on Monday
nights and didn’t think it would click. It
SPORTS
became a hit largely because of how
much viewers enjoyed the contrast of
Meredith’s Texas flair and Cosell’s East
Coast braggadocio.
Friends in real life, they took opposite
stances to liven up broadcasts with their
bickering. Meredith usually took the
majority opinion, Cosell the minority.
Cosell was playing a role, while
Meredith was just being himself.
“Watching him on TV was like being
in the huddle with Don again,” former
teammate Dan Reeves said. “He just
made the game fun.”
Blowouts were their playground. Folks
kept watching because of them.
Meredith was the life of the party in
the “Monday Night” booth from 1970
through 1984, except for a three-year
stint playing a detective on NBC’s
“Police Story.” He spent 11 of those
years teamed with another former star
player, Frank Gifford, a friend before
they became broadcast partners.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA — Mike Singletary tries to block out the
speculation about his uncertain future with San Francisco,
insisting he refuses to read newspapers or other reports and that
he knows full well what could ultimately happen in a matter of
a month.
“I think one of the saddest things about our society today,
anybody can say anything and write anything and have no
responsibility,” Singletary said. “For me, everything I say I’m
responsible for. So any kind of reports or whatever that come
out, and I know that there are many, I real-
ly don’t read them. If it’s true, it’s true. But
until I know it’s true, my eyes are on
Seattle.”
His once-favored 49ers (4-8), still reeling
from their surprising 0-5 start, might be
mathematically eliminated from playoff
contention if they lose at home Sunday to
the NFC West rival Seahawks. Team owner
John York and his team president son, Jed,
Mike Singletary have expressed their frustrations with this
disappointing season and might decide to
fire Singletary with two years remaining on his four-year con-
tract.
“If it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen,” tight end
Vernon Davis said. “But everything that goes on upstairs, we
kind of leave that to them.”
Singletary said Monday he is undecided on his starting quar-
terback — Alex Smith or Troy Smith — for the must-win game
with Seattle, which thoroughly shocked San Francisco 31-6 in
Week 1. That one still stings.
Troy Smith has started the past five games in this season of
constant change for the Niners, but Singletary was contemplat-
ing another switch Monday on the heels of Sunday’s 34-16
beating at Green Bay.
Troy Smith took over after Alex Smith, the No. 1 overall
draft pick in 2005 out of Utah, separated his non-throwing left
shoulder at Carolina on Oct. 24.
There have been so many other fluctuations along the way
for this franchise. Offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye was fired
after a loss at Kansas City in Week 3 and replaced by quarter-
backs coach Mike Johnson. Brian Westbrook has been thrust
into a bigger role after do-everything running back Frank Gore
went down with a season-ending fractured right hip last week
at Arizona.
An inexperienced offensive line features a pair of rookies
and a center who hasn’t played the position since college. The
leader of the line, left tackle Joe Staley, is injured.
On Sunday, Westbrook had nine carries for 31 yards and
rookie Anthony Dixon nine for 33 — far from what this team
can get away with to stay in contention. Singletary had said late
last week the Niners needed to be more creative to compete
without Gore.
Troy Smith went 10 for 25 for 194 yards with a touchdown
pass and an interception Sunday, but will Singletary and his
staff decide to turn back to Alex Smith because of his knowl-
edge of the entire playbook and ability to throw deep?
While Davis would prefer to know who is going to set up
behind center, he knows his job is to worry about catching the
ball no matter who’s throwing. Davis made four receptions for
a career-high 126 yards and a 66-yard touchdown grab just
before halftime — San Francisco’s longest play from scrim-
mage this season and Davis’ team-leading fifth TD catch of the
year — in the loss to the Packers. Not much else went right for
the offense on a day the 49ers had possession for only 22 min-
utes, 49 seconds to more than 37 minutes for Green Bay.
“Yes, we were on the field a long time but that’s something
we could’ve controlled, and we didn’t,” Singletary said. “We
couldn’t get off the field after a while. That was probably the
most disappointing thing. ... (Also) just the overall physicality
that we didn’t play with. I just thought that we could’ve done a
better job, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. We
could’ve done a better job tackling.”
The 49ers managed only four first downs via the rush.
Davis acknowledges everybody will have to come to play
Sunday if the Niners have any chance to extend their season
and end a seven-year playoff drought.
This is it.
“We just have to attack everybody we play pretty much. It’s
as simple as that,” Davis said. “We don’t have time to make no
mistakes. We have to go because if we lose to any of these
teams, then probably nothing’s going to happen for us. But we
have a good shot if we win all four games. That’s what we need
to concentrate on. That needs to be our big focus — win each
game, one game at a time.”

MORAGA — Little did Saint Mary’s coach
Randy Bennett know that his team’s run to the
regional semifinals of the NCAA tournament last
March would cost him his entire coaching staff.
Top assistant Kyle Smith is the new head coach
at Columbia in New York. David Patrick, their
main connection in an Australian pipeline to the
tiny school in San Francisco’s East Bay suburbs,
left in mid-October for a scouting job with the
Houston Rockets. Mark Campbell is now an assis-
tant on the women’s basketball staff at Oregon
State.
“It’s definitely a different feel with all our coach-
es gone,” senior guard Mickey McConnell said.
Bennett is relying heavily on veteran players
like McConnell during this time of transition for
the new-look program, from helping practice go
smoothly to explaining different sets.
“They’re all positives. I thought I had the best
coaching staff in the country the last two years,”
Bennett said in his office after a recent film ses-

LOUNGE

The game ended, more or less, following a hard
foul against a San Mateo player late in the first
half. As players gathered around the fallen player
and as the referee assessed the situation, someone
on the field said something in the referee’s direc-
tion.
Scheller said the official’s game report stated a
player had asked: “What the f---?”
The referee looked up, identified a player and
showed him a straight red card, ending his night
and forcing him to sit out the next game as well.
The player, however, refused to leave the field in
an orderly manner, continuing to approach the ref-
eree, asking, “What did I say?” The player had to
be pulled off the field by a teammate, all the while
asking, “What did I say?”
Again, another situation where the official failed
to take charge. He had no idea who popped off,
and the official took out his frustration on the first
kid he saw.
Maybe the player who was ejected said what he
is accused of saying. Maybe he didn’t. But I’ve
been on enough sidelines to know an official turns
a deaf ear to things said on the sidelines until he
has no choice but to react.
This official should have pulled together his
assistants, the head coaches and the captains for
both teams and explain he was no longer going to
put up with these shenanigans.
He should have given both teams a yellow card
— a warning that this type of play would no longer
be tolerated. Instead, the head official took the uni-
lateral step of suspending the game at halftime —
surprising not only the teams but his colleagues as
well, who looked at each other with concern when
their boss told them he was suspending the game
—apparently without any input from his assis-
tants.

HEISMAN
Continued from page 11
and passing in a season.
In his final regular-season game, he
threw four TD passes and scored two
more on the ground in Auburn’s 56-
17 rout of 18th-ranked South
Carolina that earned Auburn the SEC
championship and a shot at its first
national title since 1957.
The knock against Newton is the
shenanigans by his father, Cecil.
The elder Newton was accused of
working with the owner of a scouting
service to get up to $180,000 for his
son to play for at Mississippi State
while the quarterback was being
recruited out of junior college last
year.
The NCAA cleared Cam, saying
neither he nor Auburn knew anything
about it, but Heisman voters might be
leery of another Reggie Bush-type
situation. The 2005 Heisman winner
from USC gave back his trophy earli-
er this year and his school was hit
with heavy sanctions after a four-year
NCAA investigation determined he
was ineligible that season for receiv-
ing improper benefits.
If Newton does win it, he’ll join Bo
Jackson (1985) and Pat Sullivan
(1971) as Heisman Trophy winners at
Auburn.
If voters steer away from Newton,
James could swoop in and become
the first Oregon player to win college
football’s most prestigious individual
award.
James was the main cog in
Oregon’s nearly point-a-minute
offense, forcing teams to key on him
while the rest of his talented team-
mates ran all over the field. Oregon
led the nation in scoring at nearly 50
points per game and was second in
total yards, just a few tenths behind
Oklahoma State at 537 yards per
game.
Even with the extra attention,
James led the nation with 1,682 yards
and 21 touchdowns, and his 152
yards per game was nearly 10 more
than Connecticut’s Jordan Todman in
second. He closed out the regular sea-
son by gaining 134 yards in Oregon’s
37-20 win over rival Oregon State on
SPORTS
Saturday that clinched the school’s
first trip to the national title game.
Luck was second fiddle to
Washington’s Heisman hopeful Jake
Locker to open the season, but quick-
ly established himself as the Pac-10’s
best quarterback.
The 6-foot-4 junior won a lopsided
battle over Locker and his Huskies
early in the season and guided the
fifth-ranked Cardinal to one of the
best seasons in school history. A pro-
jected top NFL pick, Luck threw for
over 3,000 yards and 28 touchdowns
with just seven interceptions while
completing 70 percent of his passes
for an 11-1 team that earned an
Orange Bowl berth.
Moore wasn’t much of a Heisman
hopeful early in the season, but
quickly played his way into the pic-
ture while leading the Broncos to the
cusp of a BCS bowl berth.
The junior was second in the nation
in passer efficiency, throwing for over
3,500 yards with 33 TDs and five
interceptions, but his chances took a
hit with a loss to Nevada that
knocked Boise State out of BCS con-
tention.

game,” Gray said. “He’s an experi-
enced player, going back through
Pop Warner and (high school).
“He did what we expected him to
do and the end result is a champi-
onship.”
Factoring into Jacobs’ confidence
was his familiarity with his
receivers. Under the offense imple-
mented by offensive coordinator
Tim Adams, receivers don’t run set
routes, but have four options from
which to choose, depending on what
the defense is doing.
Jacobs spent time this season
training with the receiving corps
and his knowledge of where his
receivers were going helped tremen-
dously when he got under center.
“(Training as a receiver) helped
me a lot. … I knew where they
would be on the field,” Jacobs said.
“We (the quarterbacks) practice so
well and so efficiently. We make the
same reads as receivers.”
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Gray said Adams’ coaching
expertise has meant a lot to the
Tigers’ success the last two seasons.
“He’s the architect of the offense
and he does two things very well: he
calls plays that (match) the capabil-
ities of our players and he is master-
ful at manipulating our opponent’s
defense.”
While everyone else wondered
what the Tigers would do without
Forbes, the Terra Nova coach staff
had no question who the answer
would be.
“Going into [the championship]
game, not only were the coaches
confident (in Jacobs), the players
were, too,” Gray said. “We told our
kids, in no joking manner, we have
a secret weapon. … It’s Trevor
Jacobs.
“They don’t know how good a
player he is.”

New York bust: Medicaid
patients’ Rx drugs go to dealers
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Ethel Johnson could-
n’t get her prescription for pain medication
filled fast enough. The 60-year-old Buffalo
woman was hurting — but investigators say
that wasn’t the reason for the rush.
According to secretly recorded telephone
conversations, the sooner Johnson could pick
up her pills, the more quickly she could sell
them to her dealer. Her pain pills were des-
tined for the street.
Johnson is among 33 people charged so far
in a large-scale investigation that has opened
a window into an emerging class of suppliers
in the illicit drug trade: medical patients,
including many who rely on the publicly
funded Medicaid program to pay for their
appointments and prescriptions. She has
pleaded not guilty.
For the first time, the Buffalo investigators
devoted the kinds of resources normally
aimed at street drugs like heroin or crack —
wiretaps, buys, surveillance and cross-
agency cooperation to trace the drugs from
pharmacy to street. Even they were taken
aback by the burgeoning market for the kinds
of pills found in medicine cabinets in typical
American homes.
“I have to admit we were sort of surprised
at how big this had become,” said Charles
Tomaszewski, former supervisor of the DEA
office. “The suburbs, the city, there was no
area that wasn’t touched by this.”
Often at no charge, the patients see a doc-
tor, or several doctors, and come away with
prescriptions for narcotic OxyContin and
other pills they then sell to a dealer for as
much as $1,000. If they are on Medicaid, the
program is billed about $1,060 for a typical
60-pill, 80-mg prescription, along with the
$23-to-$39 cost of the doctor’s visit.
“These patients, in essence, become the
source for the drugs,” said Dale Kasprzyk,
acting head of the Drug Enforcement
Administration in Buffalo.
“This is a lucrative underground business
for people,” he said.
A report last year by the Government
Accountability Office estimated that 65,000
Medicaid beneficiaries in New York and four
other states had visited six or more doctors in
fiscal 2006 and 2007 to acquire duplicate
prescriptions for controlled substances.

Smooth out fears of childbirth
By Lilian Presti
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICE
Bring up the words “labor” or “childbirth”
for a pregnant woman and you’re sure to be
met with a look of anxiety or even panic.
Most American women fear childbirth due to
the anticipation of extreme pain. Women
learn about this pain early in life through sto-
ries passed down from mothers, aunts, sisters
and friends. Movies and TV shows reinforce
the idea.
Due to this negative conditioning, a major-
ity of women don’t look forward to birth.
Fear usually overrides their other emotions
and as a result, most women immediately
choose to accept pain medication during
delivery. But could there be another solu-
tion?
For some women, the alternative to a fear-
based birth that includes pain medications
and frequent interventions is natural labor
assisted by hypnosis. Hypnotherapy — also
used for other conditions — is gaining popu-
larity as an essential tool for women who
want a different and more natural experience

Doctors testing warm,beating hearts in transplant
By Alicia Chang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Andrea Ybarra’s donat-
ed heart was beating rhythmically by the time
she awoke from the grogginess of her surgery.
Lub-dub. Lub-dub. Lub-dub. In fact, it was
warm and pumping even before doctors trans-
planted it.
Ybarra belongs to a small group of people
who have had a “beating heart” transplant, an
experimental operation that’s mostly been
done in Europe. The donor heart is placed into
a special box that feeds it blood and keeps it
warm and ticking outside the body.
“I felt peaceful when I woke up. I wasn’t
scared,” recalled the 40-year-old from a Los
Angeles suburb who suffers from lupus. “It
felt like the heart was a part of me all the
time.”
Despite advances in heart transplantation,
the way hearts are moved around the United
States and most places remains low-tech.
A team of doctors and organ recovery spe-
cialists stuffs an off-the-shelf picnic cooler
with ice and jets off at odd hours to a donor
hospital where a heart from a brain-dead
patient awaits. They inject a chemical to stop
the organ and preserve it in the ice chest for
the trip home.
Once a heart is harvested, it’s a race against
time. A heart can stay fresh in the cooler for 4
to 6 hours before it starts to deteriorate.
Because of this constraint, doctors can’t trav-
el too far to heart-hunt.
It’s been done this way for more than four
decades, ever since the first U.S. heart trans-
plant was performed on Dec. 6, 1967.
Research has shown that the longer it takes
to remove a heart and transplant it, the greater
the patient’s chance of death or heart disease.
But what if a heart could beat on its own
after removal from a cadaver?
It may sound a bit macabre, more like an
Edgar Allan Poe story. The new high-tech
heart box circulates blood from the donor to

Based on some success overseas, the
University of California, Los Angeles is cur-
rently heading an experiment along with sev-
eral other schools that compares the safety
and effectiveness of the new preservation
method versus the standard cooler.
If the new technology succeeds in preserv-
ing hearts longer, it could change the field,
experts say.
No longer will patients be limited by loca-
tion. Doctors could make cross-country heart
runs without worrying about how long it
takes. Hearts are now given first to people on

24. There is a heart available. Do you have a

The transplant team dialed Ybarra. Her
lupus, an immune system disease in which the
body attacks its own organs, had ravaged her
heart, leaving it enlarged and weak. She des-
perately needed a transplant.
The following day, a brigade of doctors and
technicians set off before dawn by limo to the
Van Nuys Airport to board a private jet to the
donor hospital in the Palm Springs area east
of Los Angeles.
Since Ybarra signed up to be part of the
beating heart experiment, she had a 50-50
chance of having the new operation.
Before the team left, a nurse practitioner
drew a card at random: Ybarra was getting the
experimental heart transplant.
The doctors arrived at the donor hospital at
6:20 a.m. and cut open the patient’s chest an
hour later. After examining the heart, they
stopped it to remove it. Instead of packing the
heart on ice, doctors transferred it to a box

families by 15.7 percent in April, then elimi-
nating the entire welfare-to-work program in

erage for children of low-income families.
The governor also is asking the state to limit
prescriptions and cap physician visits to 10 a

Schwarzenegger referred to the
Legislature’s record-long budget impasse ear-
lier this year in explaining why he was calling
lawmakers into a special budget session. He
because cuts can take months to take effect.
“It is extremely important that they start right
now. That’s the fiscally responsible thing to
do,” Schwarzenegger said. “Like I said, I think
any governor, it’s not just me, any governor that
sits here would do exactly the same thing.”
Schwarzenegger took the action the same
day new lawmakers were being sworn into
office. Under the special session provisions,
the Legislature has 45 days to address the fis-
cal crisis and cannot act on other bills in the
meantime.
“I believe the Governor will have a difficult
time convincing the Legislature to approve his
proposal given the fact that it doesn’t address
the entire problem, doesn’t create jobs and is
in fact a rehash of proposals we have already
considered and rejected,” Assembly Speaker
John Perez, D-Los Angeles, said in a state-
ment.
Schwarzenegger will be gone from office

have indicated they would be more inclined to
wait for Brown before taking action on the
state’s deficit.
Perez outlined his agenda for the year as he

Among Perez’s plans is a bill to overturn the
governor’s veto of child care services in order
to save $256 million.

Gov.-elect Jerry Brown, a Democrat, is

forums later this week. Brown will be sworn in
Jan. 3.
“I’m hoping people will get out of their

Brown told the Associated Press after meeting

and improve its borrowing costs, accord-
ing to the quarterly Anderson Forecast
from the University of California, Los
Angeles.
Meanwhile, pent-up demand among
home buyers could explode in the state’s
coastal communities where inventory
has been limited, resulting in rebounding
home prices and renewed construction in
those areas, the study said.
“There are changes that are occurring
in some fundamental problem areas such
as residential construction and state gov-
ernment that are laying the groundwork
for more rapid growth in the medium
term,” said the forecast’s author, Jerry
Nickelsburg.
The report noted that the state will still
be in for some pain before it realizes
these longer-term gains.
Employment was forecast to grow at a
rate of 1.6 percent in 2011, keeping job-
lessness at 11.4 percent through the year.
The state was unlikely to generate
enough jobs to tug unemployment down
to the single digits until the end of 2012.
The state’s most recent tally put
unemployment at 12.4 percent in
October, down from a modern record
of 12.6 percent reached in March. The
Real personal income was forecast to
grow at 1.6 percent in 2011 and 3.6 per-
cent in 2012.
The economic growth that does occur
will be driven by education, health care,
exports and technology — all sectors
that are most prevalent along the coast,
where the expansion will arrive fastest
and be most pronounced.
In inland parts of the state, little
growth will occur until that region’s
housing market rebounds, which will not
occur in the near term because of the
massive overbuilding that occurred dur-
ing the previous years’ homebuilding
frenzy.
Nickelsburg said it could be years
until those who worked in that region’s
once-booming construction sector find
new jobs in other industries.
But construction could be a driver of
growth in coastal parts of the state,
which saw less construction during the
boom.
The report cited state and federal data
showing increases in household sizes
since 2007, when the downturn took
hold, implying that cash-strapped twen-
tysomethings were moving in with their
parents instead of buying homes for
themselves, and that older people were
moving in with their adult children.
When the general economic expansion
gives a boost to employment, job securi-
ty and salaries, demand will quickly out-
a quickly rebounding construction
industry there.
“In terms of housing stock, it turns out
we’re about a year behind if the potential
demand turns into effective demand,
which it ultimately will,” Nickelsburg
said.
Nickelsburg said he was also encour-
aged by the state-level reforms that
allow budgets to be passed by the legis-
lature with a simple majority, rather than
the previous two-thirds majority that has
been blamed for legislative gridlock.
The state’s economy may also benefit
from a reform that places the drawing of
legislative and congressional districts in
the hands of a bipartisan citizens com-
mission, rather than lawmakers.
The new system could make legisla-
tors more apt to quickly approve budgets
so as not to incur voters’ anger in what
will become more competitive districts,
Nickelsburg said.
The resulting budgetary stability could
make California businesses more willing
to expand and could make out-of-state
businesses more likely to move here, he
said.
It would also improve the state’s bond
rating so it could borrow money at lower
interest rates, Nickelsburg said.
“If California shows a record of pass-
ing budgets on time, then there’s going
to be more certainty about the California
government. It will be perceived as a

scheduled — a convenience for both patients and doctors.
“If you knew an organ could be preserved, instead of doing a
transplant at 3 a.m., you can push it back to 6 a.m.,” said UCLA’s
Dr. Richard Shemin, who performed Ybarra’s operation on his
39th wedding anniversary.
The world’s first beating heart transplant was performed in
Germany in 2006, using an organ box invented by TransMedics
Inc., a private medical device company in Andover, Mass., as part
of a multi-center study in Europe.
The company followed up with a pilot study in the U.S. It is
currently funding the UCLA-led experiment, which will enroll
128 patients nationwide, randomly chosen to get a beating heart
transplant or the traditional kind.
About 100 patients, mostly in Europe, have had a beating heart
transplant, according to TransMedics.
Early signs from two European experiments involving 54
patients are encouraging. There has been 97 percent survival a
month after the operation and few episodes of rejection and
heart-related complications. But since there were no comparison
groups in either study, it’s impossible to know whether a beating
heart transplant is actually better.
The current U.S. study is the first to test the methods head-to-
head.
Doctors admit some patients are spooked by the idea of a heart
beating on its own before the transplant.
“It’s very difficult to remedy their anxiety. But when you think
about it, the human heart was never meant to be in a cooler on
ice,” said lead investigator Dr. Abbas Ardehali of UCLA.
TransMedics paid his travel expenses to a medical meeting, but
he does not have other financial ties to the company.
Transplant doctors with no connection to the research note that
the current system works despite the antiquated way hearts are
carted around. Before beating heart transplants can be routine,
researchers must not only prove that the technology can preserve
hearts better and longer, but that recipients also have improved
survival and health than if they had a regular heart transplant.
“In theory, it’s a fabulous idea,” said Dr. Stuart Russell, heart
transplant chief at Johns Hopkins University. But more data is
needed to determine whether “it will or won’t fly.”

Germ inspector helps prevent hospital infections
By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE — This is no ordinary inten-
sive care unit: Every doctor, nurse, friend or
loved one must cover their clothes with a bright
yellow gown and don purple gloves before
entering a patient’s room so some scary germs
don’t hitch a ride in or out.
It’s part of the University of Maryland
Medical Center’s crackdown on hospital-spread
infections, and Michael Anne Preas patrols the
ICU like a cop on the beat to help keep bacteria
in check.
You forgot your gloves, Preas leans in to tell
a doctor-in-training who’s about to examine a
man with a breathing tube. Startled, the resident
immediately washes his hands and grabs a pair.
Peering at the IV tube inserted into another
patient’s neck, Preas spots a different opening
for bacteria: His long beard is messing up what
should be an airtight seal. Let’s shave that spot
and put in a new catheter, she tells the nurse.
Nor does a janitor escape Preas’ inspection.
Yes, she put on clean gloves between collecting
trash and moving carts that nurses will touch.
Infections caught at health care facilities are
one of the nation’s leading causes of preventa-
ble death, claiming an estimated 99,000 lives a
year. Yet chances are you’ve never heard of
Preas’ job: She’s an infection preventionist, part
of an evolution under way as hospitals are
pushed to slash those rates or lose lucrative
Medicare dollars.
“You have to be out and about,” says Preas,
who with a team of four other specialists checks
parts of this large Baltimore teaching hospital
for infection-control steps, looking to identify
the inevitable spots where fast-paced care can
allow the bugs an entry. Doctors and nurses are
under orders to heed their advice.
HEALTH
There are only about 8,000 to 10,000 infection preventionists nationwide,and in most smaller
hospitals they’re occupied with documenting infection statistics or advising doctors about
specific pathogens, according to the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and
Epidemiology.
The program is unusual. There are only about
8,000 to 10,000 infection preventionists nation-
wide, and in most smaller hospitals they’re
occupied with documenting infection statistics
or advising doctors about specific pathogens,
according to the Association for Professionals
in Infection Control and Epidemiology.
But with some other steps, it’s starting to pay
off: This surgical ICU has gone 24 weeks with-
out a single case of one of the most insidious
hospital infections, where bacteria infiltrate the
bloodstream through that easy-to-contaminate
IV catheter called a central line. Hospital-wide,
those central line infections have dropped 70
percent in the past year.
“Every single nurse and doctor and staff
member who touches a patient can either pre-
vent or not prevent an infection from occur-
ring,” says chief medical officer Dr. Jonathan
Gottlieb.
Tuesday • Dec. 7, 2010 19
Not too long ago, specialists like Preas were
“prophets in the wilderness,” he says, struggling
to advise about best practices but not typically
at the bedside to see the barriers.
“We can say, ’Do this, do this, do this,’ but we
have to convince people to change,” adds Dr.
Kerri Thom, an epidemiologist who accompa-
nies Preas on her daily rounds.
With 1.7 million healthcare-acquired infec-
tions a year, adding $20 billion to the nation’s
health bills, infections have long plagued hospi-
tals. But they’re getting renewed attention as the
federal government aims to cut certain types in
half in the next few years, linking success to
dollars. Already, Medicare has begun cutting
payments to hospitals with high rates of certain
infections, cuts that will increase by 2015 under
the new health care law.
Part of the challenge: For every patient suf-
fering an obvious infection, another five to 10
may carry the same bacteria into the hospital
with no symptoms — germs on their skin or in
their noses that can threaten the patient in the
next room, or even the carrier himself if the
bugs slip into the bloodstream through a surgi-
cal wound or catheter.
Hence the decision by the University of
Maryland Medical Center to have every visitor
to a surgical ICU room don a gown and gloves.
Researchers found one dangerous germ, acine-
tobacter, is especially easy to spread — lurking
on bed rails and IV pumps and other places that
mean even workers not touching the patient
could walk out contaminated.
“If we weren’t wearing them, it would be on
our clothes,” Thom says of the protective gear,
noting that infection specialists tend not to wear
health care’s ubiquitous white lab coats.
Without frequent washing, “if you wear your
lab coat everywhere you go, it becomes a walk-
ing germ,” Preas adds.

ing on next year’s numbers, which will
incorporate a neighbor’s house.
“I just enjoy it,” Christman said of the
year-long, ever-growing project.
This year’s show includes classics
like “Jingle Bell Rock” as performed by
Alvin and the Chipmunks, “Where are
you Christmas?” by Faith Hill,
“Grandma Got Run Over By A
Reindeer,” by Elmos and Patsy and also
ads for Second Harvest Food Bank.
The Christmans don’t ask for dona-
tions to cover the electricity cost for the
show. They do put out a collection bar-
rel for food and a box for cash to sup-
port the food bank. Last year, this
resulted in 292 pounds of food and
$887.
Christmas wasn’t always this big,
complicated and, well, literally bright
at the Christmans’ house. About six
years ago, the general contractor by
trade began collecting lights and those
big blow-up decorations. A friend
decided to give the choreographed light
HORNS

ply with federal safety regulations. That
move, however, prompted residents up
and down the Peninsula to complain
about increased noise from the horns.
Caltrain moved the horns back to
underneath the trains in November 2009
and complaints subsequently quieted
down.
But the city has garnered a steady
stream of complaints regarding UP’s
horns starting in April of this year and
continuing until now, according to a staff
report by Susanna Chan, deputy director
at the Department of Public Works. The
city also still receives a small amount of
complaints related to Caltrain’s horns,
according to the staff report.
The city asked UP officials to also
reposition horns from the top of trains to

cus tomorrow,” his spokesman, Jim
Manley, said in a written statement.
One top Republican, Rep. Dave Camp
exhibit a try and Christman helped. He
was hooked.
Three years ago, the family moved
from Belmont to Millbrae and the tradi-
tion began. Using a computerized light-
ing system called Light-O-Rama,
Christman began with a system utiliz-
ing 176 parts. A part generally repre-
sents a single color strand of lights. The
large star atop the garage, for example,
has multiple parts allowing Christman
to light only portions at a time. Today,
Christman’s display has 405 parts to
control. Wires are stored along the side
of the house, in the garage and the roof
representing 17,000 feet of cords.
Music wasn’t originally part of the
display. A neighbor requested to add
music to the design. Now, two small
speakers are outside so people can hear
some of the sounds. Most people hear
the music via a radio signal on 88.1
FM. Christman takes song requests
through his website but has only gotten
one so far, “White Christmas” from
Bing Crosby, which he worked into this
year’s lineup.
And, for fun, Christman puts tradi-
tional music aside for one hour Friday
and Saturday evenings with a one hour
underneath the trains, such as Caltrain
did.
UP denied the request since it does not
use a dedicated fleet of locomotives on
the Peninsula, according to a letter from
UP’s Andy Perez to the city.
UP will also not calibrate the horns to
lower levels as the city requested
because it would lead to an increased
risk that the horns could drop below the
federally-mandated minimum volume
between inspections, according to the
letter from Perez.
Perez encouraged the city to investi-
gate the feasibility of establishing a
“quiet zone” to eliminate the use of
horns at crossings.
The Federal Railroad Administration
allows for quiet zones by implementing
supplementary safety measures includ-
ing the installation of four-quadrant
gates or the less costly option of
installing gates with medians or chan-
nelization devices, for instance.
of Michigan, was more positive. “This
framework will allow us to extend all
current tax rates and give economic
recovery and job creation a chance,” he
said.
Democrats have repeatedly raised
objections to including the upper-
income in any plan to extend tax cuts
THE DAILY JOURNAL
rock and roll-themed light show featur-
ing KISS, Sammy Hagar, Van Halen
and John Cougar Mellencamp starting
at 10 p.m.
Designing the show takes place at a
desk, but physically putting up the dis-
play takes weeks. It started this year
just after Halloween, which was almost
not enough time. It’s during setup that
Christman gets the first glimpse of why
his work is worth it.
“When kids come out to look at the
lights and dance to the music, it makes
all the work worth it,” said Christman,
who often stands outside with his fami-
ly during the holiday season passing
out candy canes and talking with those
who come by.
Those who visit are asked to follow
three simple rules: don’t block drive-
ways; keep the music down and respect
the neighbors. Minorca is a rather nar-
row street. Anyone who can park on
Millbrae Avenue and take a stroll up the
hill is encouraged to enjoy the light
show that way.

heather@smdailyjournal.com or by phone:
(650) 344-5200 ext. 105.
The city concluded, however, that
none of its nine grade crossings are suit-
able for the safety measure require-
ments, according to the staff report.
It would be difficult to implement the
less expensive median option and too
costly to install a four-quadrant system,
according to Chan.
Although a three-agency partnership
between SamTrans, the San Francisco
Municipal Transportation Agency and
the Valley Transportation Authority
owns and operates the Caltrain corridor,
it can only restrict UP’s access to the
tracks and cannot dictate how it uses its
horns.
Residents concerned about UP’s train
horns will have the opportunity to have a
direct conversation with railroad opera-
tors at a Public Works Commission
meeting this week.

enacted in 2001 and 2003 when George
W. Bush was president. The Democratic-
controlled House recently passed legis-
lation to let the cuts lapse on incomes
over $200,000 for individuals and
$250,000 for couples. On Saturday,
Republicans blocked an attempt by
Senate Democrats to do the same.

Tuesday, Dec. 7, 2010
The only way substantial achievements can be made in
upcoming months is if you’re persistent and strong-willed in
your efforts. But even if you experience tough times, it will
strengthen your character and resolve, not diminish them.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - It always behooves
you to be protective of your cherished possessions, but also
watch out for all of your belongings. Temptation might be too
great for someone with sticky hands.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - The probability of a
request or favor being rejected is greater than usual, so try to
handle things on your own. Don’t put yourself in the uncom-
fortable position of being turned down.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - People in general are more
susceptible to accepting advice on important matters without
question, so unless you are an expert on something, don’t
offer any. It would stink to be wrong.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Business and pleasure do
not make for a good mix just now, so if you were hoping to
approach someone at a social gathering, rethink that plan.
You could end up being highly embarrassed.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Upon occasion you enjoy a
stimulating challenge, which is exactly what is likely to
appeal to you at this juncture. Be careful, however, because
you could bite off more than you can chew.
yourself in a negative mood, take measures to snap yourself
out of it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - There is nothing wrong with
taking on a tough assignment, as long as you are as methodi-
cal and organized as possible about it. A lack of preparation,
however, would invite poor results.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Take great pains to skirt
issues upon which you and your mate disagree. There is a
strong likelihood that a small discord could get blown totally
out of proportion.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - That advice you’re giving to others
won’t be followed if they see that you’re not following it your-
self. Unless you set the proper example, don’t expect others
to comply.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Be able to distinguish the dif-
ference between prudence and stinginess. If you want others
to loosen up their purse strings, you had better treat them
generously as well.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Because you can see both sides
of an issue, you usually go out of your way to treat others
fairly and impartially. Today, however, it might be impossible
for you to identify with the other guy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - It’s a waste of your energy
to get uptight and nervous over something that may never Sudoku
happen. Even if conditions look unfavorable, chances are only
