SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown on Tuesday ordered $1 billion in midyear cuts to C a l i f o r n i a s budget that will result in pain for students who rely on school buses to get to class, mothers who depend on Jerry Brown child care subsidies to keep working and support programs for the developmentally disabled. Brown, a Democrat, said that the states revenues will fall about $2.2 billion below the $88.4 billion he and state lawmakers had hoped for when they passed the budget last summer. The announcement was not surprising and could have been worse. The states legislative analyst had predicted revenues would fall $3.7 billion below forecast.

Students attending San Mateo Countys three community colleges will see a $10 increase in the per-unit cost this spring and local schools will also take a nancial hit as Gov. Jerry Brown announced Tuesday $980 million in trigger cuts because of a state revenue shortfall. Most school districts planned for the cuts, but Brown warned of additional cuts if proposed tax increases are not passed by voters. I have mixed feelings about the governors trigger cuts announcement. While Im grateful that theyre not as deep as we feared, they will still have a sizable

DA:Teens killer just needed opportunity to kill

Closing arguments begin in murder over rock throwing
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Police reports
Someone was throwing hot chocolate at people in the lobby of a building on the 400 block of Hillsdale Boulevard in San Mateo before 7:47 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 8.
The man accused of fatally stabbing a 15-year-old boy who threw rocks at a car carrying him nearly three years ago needed an opportunity rather than a reason to kill, a prosecutor told jurors during closing arguments yesterday. Luis Adolfo Villa, 20, was a cold teenager who was pretty proud of himself for killing Matthew Johnson, prosecutor Joe Cannon said. However, the defense has said Villa was framed by the three others in the vehicle, including one man who pleaded no contest to a lesser assault charge and testied for the prosecution. The jury is now left to decide which account of the incident is accurate was Villa, then 17, the one who stabbed Johnson repeatedly in the chest, back and leg or was he the easy target of the others because he ed to Mexico after the Jan. 3, 2009 attack and remained there until extradited that July? Villa is charged with murder and the use of a knife, charges that could send him to prison for as long as life. Jurors can consider both rst- and seconddegree murder, the primary difference being an intent to kill. The jury will begin deliberating today after closing arguments by the defense and the prosecutions rebuttal. Arguments
did not nish by the close of court yesterday afternoon. Defense attorney Mike Hroziencik is expected to point the finger at Villas cousin, Luis Herrera, 21, saying he is the real killer and that Luis Villa prosecutors let him off because they did not test a blood stain in his car before offering him a deal. The one thing both sides can agree on is that the killing was tragic and unnecessary. Its difcult to think of a more senseless death than the death of Matthew Johnson, Cannon said. Hroziencik said as much during his opening statement. The confrontation from the initial rock throwing to the nal assault in a parking lot down the street took less than three minutes. Johnsons two friends testied during the trial that the trio played around near the railroad tracks in Redwood City by Safeway and eventually began throwing soda cans and rocks from the overpass. One rock struck a red Honda Civil later identied as that carrying Villa and his cousins Herrera, Jonathan Herrera, 18, and Uriel Villa, 17. They had picked up Luis Herrera from his job at McDonalds and were heading to
Safeway for a beverage when they heard the sound and gave chase to Johnson and his friends. The chase was partially caught on surveillance tape from a nearby apartment complex but Johnsons two friends did not see the stabbing. The two Herreras planned to beat Johnson but Villa, along for the ride, decided to stab the defenseless kid viciously and callously, Cannon said. Adding insult to injury was Villa going back to take Johnsons wallet, Cannon said. Villa did not take the stand in his own defense but witnesses called by both sides offered conicting accounts on what he allegedly told them about the encounter. Hroziencik has urged the jurors to take the testimony of the prosecution witnesses with a heavy dose of skepticism because several lied to a criminal grand jury about their roles in helping the boys ee to Mexico. Cannon has agreed nearly all the civilian witnesses have been dishonest at one point or another but said the case against Villa is bolstered by his ight, the presence of blood in the back passenger area of the car where witnesses placed him following the attack and other circumstantial evidence like mail-order receipts for knives with blades similar to the murder weapon. If Luis Herrera was the real killer, Cannon said, he would have done what Villa did go to Mexico and stay there. Villa remains in custody without bail and investigators. Todays criminals increasingly use the Internet, smartphones and other digital devices to victimize people online and ofine, Harris said at a news conference also attended by state and local ofcials in San Jose. We are providing a voice for victims who are very vulnerable.

Paradise Valley park to get revamped

A pocket park in South San Francisco will soon get a facelift as the City Council is set to approve the nal design for the reconstruction Wednesday. Paradise Valley pocket park, located north of the ball eld at Paradise Valley Park off Hillside Boulevard, is encircled by the backyards of homes. In March, after a heavy rain storm, a sinkhole formed when a storm drain running under the park collapsed. Extensive excavation work was required to make the repairs which damaged the parks walkways and turf. Permanent storm drain repairs were nished last month. On Wednesday, the City Council will consider amending the capital improvement budget to add $355,000 to the park project work. Once completed, the parks should include an open design; removal of the large eucalyptus tree at the entrance; installation of a bioswale feature to help drain during the rainy season; replanting six trees; a at turf area; benches; new irrigation and smart meter to facilitate water conservation; replacement of all turf and new landscape; new concrete pathways; trash receptacles; and a small entrance plaza and enhanced park entrance. At the same meeting, the council will approve side letters amending the contracts with a few unions International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 39; American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees; South San Francisco Police Association; and the International Association of Fireghters, Local 1507. The letter will amend a city practice previously not outlined in the agreement with employees.

Under the agreements, however, the compensation wasnt included under the compensation earned. The side letters will change that in the current agreements. In other business, the council will consider

Fire damages home near Menlo-Atherton High School

Fireghters extinguished a one-alarm re Tuesday morning at a Menlo Park home near Menlo-Atherton High School, a re ofcial said. At about 5:30 a.m., crews responded to a report of re at 390 Ringwood Ave., where arriving firefighters found flames burning through several spots on the roof, Menlo Park Division Chief Frank Fraone said. The attic was on re, from one end of the home to the other, he said. By the time the homeowner realized the building was on re, the blaze had already disabled the phone lines and electricity, Fraone said. The resident, who had been the only person inside, escaped safely and used a passerbys cellphone to report the re. Fireghters worked for about 20 minutes to control the re. No injuries were reported. Because of the amount of re, it was difcult to extinguish, Fraone said.
Pedestrian sting planned in Belmont

The Belmont Police Department will conduct a pedestrian safety operation today from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at several locations. Police will use pedestrian decoys to target drivers who ignore right-of-way laws and also target pedestrians who cross streets in a unsafe manner, creating a potential hazard. A pedestrian was struck and killed on Ralston Avenue Sunday evening in an area where there was no marked crosswalk.
The Redwood City Council held off appointing a new planning commissioner until midJanuary, deciding instead to put two of the six applicants through another round of interviews before deciding who should nish out an unexpired term. The postponement at Monday nights meeting came at the urging of Councilman John Seybert and was supported by all but Councilman Ian Bain. The others said they wanted more information from the top candidates and Vice Mayor Jeff Gee hearkened back to the consent agenda decision earlier in the meeting to let some code appeals come back to the Planning Commission rather than straight to the City Council. We are entering new territory, Gee said, adding that naming a planning commissioner now is different than when he and several other councilmembers applied for those seats. Its now more than just why you and your qualications, Gee said. Seybert suggested the councilmembers each name their top three candidates and anyone receiving four votes be moved to another set of 15-minute interviews. Craig Robinson and Shawn White each received four and will be considered. The other applicants were Jay Neville, Simms Duncan, Paul Sanlipo and Hope Sullivan. Councilwoman Rosanne Foust said she agreed with the extra step because two of the applicants had been unavailable for the Nov. 21
interviews. Councilwoman Barbara Pierce was also game for getting further answers as long as the process is done by mid-January. Bain was the sole dissenter, saying he was ready to vote at the meeting. As the city looks to the future, particularly with the growing propensity for litigation, Seybert said there is a paradigm shift in community development that requires the best person possible on the Planning Commission. I think this is an incredibly important position in the city, Seybert said. The councils extension is not unheard of but is certainly different for Redwood City, said city spokesman Malcolm Smith. The Planning Commission has had one vacancy since late September 2011 due to a resignation. The unexpired seat to be lled comes due June 30. The changes to amend the code appeals procedures were recommended to streamline the process and conform with other appeals provisions. The key tweaks makes the City Council the highest authority on a matter after all other appeals are exhausted, expands the appeals time from seven to 15 days and lets the city manager rather than the City Council hear administrative appeals from a staff decision like a public dance permit. The city manager will also hear appeals of permits to plant, cut or prune trees in or overhanging the public right of way and appeals of tree removal permits on private property. The Planning Commission rather than the City Council will hear appeals of decisions by the community development director and any person can appeal a street closure or encroachment decision instead of just the applicant.

Laser for Toenail Fungus?

What is Toenail Fungus?
Toenail fungus is an infection by a fungal organism which slowly rots away healthy toenails. Left untreated, it can affect your healthy toenails as well as cause a skin infection better known as athletes feet. Affecting men, women and children, its often an embarrassing problem which can lead to physical pain as the infected toenails thicken making it uncomfortable to wear shoes. Infected toenails often appeared discolored, mis-shapened, thick, brittle and difcult to trim.
What Kind of Treatments are Available?

Most patients attempt to resolve their fungus problem using drugstore topical liquids and cream. But due to the location of the infection under the nail plate, topical medication cant reach the infecting organism. Combining methods have been found to be the most effective; utilizing medication, in-ofce partial nail removal if needed and advanced laser therapy.
How is the laser used?

A laser using a specic wavelength of light produces sufcient heat to destroy the fungus under the nail with minimum discomfort and without damage to the surrounding skin. The laser energy is applied via multiple treatment sessions to promote the growth of clear nail without fungal infection. Properly performed, this is a highly effective, safe treatment and improvement is usually noted in 3 to 9 months with growth of clear nails.

Ex-wife charged with murder in boiling water attack

The Daly City woman whose ex-husband died two weeks after she allegedly doused him with a pot of boiling water because she thought he was unfaithful is now charged with murder. Prosecutors filed the new case against Jesusa Ursonal Tatad, 39, alleging the same charges of assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated mayhem, torture and domestic violence but with the added murder count. She had already pleaded not guilty in the previous case which will be dismissed but returns to court Jan. 9 to enter a plea in the new set of charges. Although Tatads ex-husband died from the second- and third-degree burns to his face and upper torso, according to Coroner Robert Foucrault, the District Attorneys Ofce did not specify that the murder was caused by torture. Authorities still arent clear either if Tatad meant to kill the man when she deliberately boiled and poured the water although a murder conviction doesnt necessarily require intent. Its an awfully odd way to kill somebody but a pretty good way to torture them, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti, who filed the case. Tatad, who was being held on $600,000 bail after Jesusa Tatad her initial arrest, is now in custody without bail. Tatad and the 36-year-old victim were divorced but living together and Guidotti said it appeared to be more a nancial than lingering romantic relationship. Prosecutors say Tatad thought he was unfaithful and, at approximately 10:50 a.m. Nov. 26, boiled a pot of water which she poured on his face and upper body. The sleeping man reportedly awoke in intense pain and tried running to the bathroom for safety. Tatad, who prosecutors say was waiting for him, reportedly struck him in the head with a baseball bat. The man managed to ee the second-story apartment on Coronado Avenue and found a security guard who called police. Police arrested Tatad at the home while the man was taken to San Francisco General Hospital with second- and third-degree burns over 60 percent of his face and upper body. He initially told the guard and police Tatad attacked him with the water and bat but was sedated by physicians due to the pain and gave no further statements before he died Dec. 9. Tatad has reportedly denied hitting him with the bat. Guidotti said there is some question if he suffered a traumatic brain injury as previously thought but that Tatad appeared to have used a large pot in the attack based on the extremely wet bed inside the residence. The mans family is devastated by his death but also the way it was inicted, Guidotti said. His sister said he couldnt have lived like that, Guidotti said. Tatad has no prior criminal history in San Mateo County and there were no previous calls for domestic violence between the pair. Defense attorney John May did not return a call for comment.

Designs for Bay Bridge bike path to be unveiled

Plans are moving forward for a bike path on the western span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge although funding for the $500 million project has yet to be secured. The Bay Area Toll Authority is set to unveil design options for the path at a public hearing on Tuesday. The rebuilt eastern portion of the bridge expected to open in a few years will include a bike path that will connect Oakland with Yerba Buena and Treasure islands.

State DUI deaths lowest since records kept
SACRAMENTO The number of California deaths blamed on drunken driving fell last year to its lowest level since recordkeeping began. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Tuesday that 791 people died in California in driving-while-intoxicated crashes, down from 950 in 2009. Drunken driving deaths have decreased every year since 2005. They previously had risen each year from 1998 to 2005. The state Ofce of Trafc Safety says a record number of DUI checkpoints last year helped catch and deter drunken drivers. An increase in federal money let law enforcement agencies conduct more than 2,500 checkpoints last year, up from about 1,700 in 2009.
Installing wireless communication devices in Burlingame could require one of two permits, and more details of the requirements should be known early next month. Burlingame has a temporary ban in place on new wireless communication boxes and antennas, rst approved in September, to allow time to discuss possible rules. Since then, a group met to draft the ordinance, which favors placing antennas in commercial areas and camouaging the devices. The ordinance went before the Planning Commission Monday. Community Development Director Bill Meeker said the plan, which received no public comment, was well received by the commission. It was stressed that city staff have access to a third party expert when such applications are submitted. The aggressive timeline calls for the Planning Commission to revise the plan Monday, Jan. 9. On Monday, Jan. 17, the City Council will introduce the ordinance. Its at
this time the City Council can adopt it as an urgency measure, effective immediately, to meet the requirements under a pending lawsuit with ExteNet Systems, said City Attorney Gus Guinan. The regularly introduced ordinance would be adopted at the City Councils Feb. 2 meeting. Between now and Jan. 9, Guinan will be working to ll in the details of the ordinance. Under the proposed guidelines, the city encourages wireless communication boxes and antennas be placed in nonresidential areas and be hidden as much as possible. A permit application would be reviewed by either the Planning Commission or community development director, depending on the details of the plan. Administrative approval, for example, could be given to facilities which will be located in a commercial zone and are more than 2,000 feet from any residential district. Those that do not meet that standard, however, will require a conditional use permit which adds a public hearing before the Planning Commission to the approval process.
Concerns about applications to attach devices to existing poles in the public right-ofway in residential neighborhoods began in late summer. T-Mobile and ExteNet Systems have put in 27 applications to install antennas in residential areas of Burlingame to meet the growing need for cell service. These smaller devices are proposed to be placed within residential areas. Company representatives say it will allow for increased service throughout the county. Residents, on the other hand, nd the proposed installations to be both a blight and unnecessary. Since the city did not have a policy in place about wireless communications facilities, residents requested a moratorium on installation to allow for more research a request that the city granted. The moratorium also covered the pending applications resulting in a lawsuit from ExteNet which, among other claims, requested to be exempt from the ban. In November, Judge George Miram ruled the temporary ban could include previously submitted applications.

San Carlos mayor renamed to head council

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Carlos Mayor Andy Klein, who took the helm earlier this year after the unexpected death of Omar Ahmad, was unanimously renamed to the position during a council rotation that added two new faces. Vice Mayor Matt Grocott also received unanimous support to keep his position and newcomers Ron Collins and Mark Olbert and re-elected Treasurer Michael Galvin were sworn in. Former councilman Randy Royce did not win a bid for re-election in November. Klein, 29, said he had a feeling he might be reappointed but was just as nervous as the previous time and appreciative. It means a great deal to me to be given the opportunity to have another term as mayor, Klein said. Klein, the former vice mayor, moved up in May after Ahmad died from a heart attack and

Operations return to normal at West Coast ports

Port say blockades cost millions in lost activity
By Marcus Wohlsen
OAKLAND Port of Oakland ofcials say disruptions caused by protesters likely cost businesses, workers and the surrounding community millions of dollars. Port spokesman Isaac Kos-Read said Tuesday that ofcials estimate the port generates around $8.5 million per day in business revenue, wages, taxes and other economic activity. Protesters began blocking port entrances early Monday morning, leading to a major slowdown of operations when most longshoremen were sent home from the morning shift.
OAKLAND West Coast ports tried to get back to business as usual Tuesday as they tallied their losses after anti-Wall Street protests that blocked trucks and curbed business along busy waterfronts. Long lines of trucks waited outside port gates and some workers reported early to clear the cargo backlog left after thousands of Occupy demonstrators forced shipping terminals in Oakland, Calif., Portland, Ore., and Longview, Wash., to halt parts of their operations Monday. Disruptions caused by protesters likely cost businesses, workers and the surrounding community millions of dollars, said Port of Oakland spokesman Isaac Kos-Read. Though the port did not provide a breakdown of specic losses caused by the block-
ades, Kos-Read said ofcials estimate the port typically generates about $8.5 million per day in business revenue, wages, taxes and other economic activity. Its the ripple effect, he said. Protesters in Oakland began blocking port entrances early Monday morning, leading to a major slowdown of operations when most longshoremen were sent home from the morning shift. Protests in the afternoon and through the night led to the cancellation of two more shifts. The longshoremens union said the blockades resulted in about 500 canceled shifts but that the work will have to be made up to handle the backlogged cargo. Normal operations at the port resumed Tuesday morning, Oakland port ofcials said. The Port of Portland opened one hour early Tuesday to deal with the backlog of work, said port spokesman Josh Thomas.
SACRAMENTO The leader of the state Senate wants to offer an electronic library of free basic textbooks for college students in a bid to offset higher university fees. Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg said Tuesday he will offer legislation next year to create 50 textbooks for the most common college classes. Darrell He plans to seek the $25 Steinberg million startup cost, even as California cuts spending in education and other areas in response to a lingering multibillion dollar decit. A typical student could save $1,000 of the $1,300 he or she now spends on textbooks each year, Steinberg said, citing estimates from Californias three higher education systems. The savings would largely offset recent fee increases by state universities, he said. Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said his two proposed bills would create a faculty council from the University of California, California State University and community college systems to choose the 50 college courses and seek bids from authors or companies to produce textbooks for those classes. The texts would be available free online or students could get a printed copy for about $20. Steinberg wants textbooks for the rst 25 courses available by the fall of 2013 and the remainder by autumn 2014. Professors could cut and paste from the online textbooks to create their own customized materials at a fraction of the cost of requiring students to buy each book separately, he said.

GOP muscling tax cut bill through House

ith Christmas less than two weeks away, Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties are short on cash and food donations. Compared to this same time last year, nancial donations and food donations to Second Harvests Holiday Food and Fund Drive are down. The goal for this years drive is $11.3 million and 1.6 million pounds of food. While Second Harvest is halfway through this mission-critical campaign, the Food Bank has only secured about 25 percent of the nancial donations needed to meet this years fundraising goal. We are so grateful for the support we have received from the community so far, but we really need to collect more cash and food donations if we are going to meet the rising need, said Kathy Jackson, CEO of Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. The number of people we are serving has increased nearly 50 percent since the recession started. We raise about half our annual revenues during the holidays, so the support we get now will help us feed hungry people all year long. Cash donations can be given online at www.SHFB.org or by calling (866) 234-3663. Second Harvest has extended its hours at its Curtner Avenue dock in San Jose and its Bing Street dock in San Carlos to make donating easier. Both docks are open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.Monday through Friday; 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 17; and 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Dec. 24. For more information visit www.SHFB.org. Food can also be donated at one of the many barrels located throughout the community, including those at Safeway stores where they are selling $10 pre-packed bags lled with the most-needed food items, which can easily be placed in the barrels.
WASHINGTON Defiant Republicans pushed toward House passage Tuesday of legislation to extend Social Security payroll tax cuts long sought by President Barack Obama. But they sparked a veto threat by including construction of a much-disputed oil pipeline from Canada to Texas. Passage would send the bill to certain demise in the Democraticcontrolled Senate, triggering the final partisan showdown of a remarkably quarrelsome year of divided government. In debate on the measure, House Democrats accused Republicans of protecting millionaires and billionaires, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada derided the GOP-backed pipeline provision as ideological candy for the tea party set and Republicans mocked Obamas objections. Mr. President, we cant wait, said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia, employing a refrain the White House often uses to criticize Republicans for failing to take steps to improve an economy struggling to recover from the worst recession in decades. You cant be for the middle

class, you cant be for keeping taxes low, and be against our Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act, Cantor said. At its core, the measure did include key parts of the jobs program that Obama asked Congress to approve in September. The Social Security payroll tax cuts approved a year ago to help stimulate the economy would be extended through 2012, avoiding a loss of take-home income for 160 million Americans. And an expiring program of unemployment benets for the long-term jobless would remain in place. A third major component would avert a threatened 27 percent cut in payments to doctors who treat Medicare patients, a provision Republicans added to appeal to conservatives but one that the White House and Democrats embrace, too. While the tax and unemployment provisions were less generous than Obama sought, he and Republicans clashed principally over steps to
cover the estimated $180 billion cost of the measure, and on the proposed 1,700-mile Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada through environmentally sensitive terrain in Nebraska to the Texas Gulf Coast. Obama recently delayed a decision on granting a permit for the pipeline until after the 2012 election. The payroll tax legislation was one of three major bills that Congress was struggling to nish before adjourning for the year, and by far the most contentious. A measure covering Pentagon spending was ready for passage, and, separately, negotiators said they were close to a deal on a $1 trillion measure to fund most government agencies through the end of the budget year. That deal was in limbo, though, with Obama and congressional Democrats using it as leverage to keep House Republicans at the table negotiating a final compromise on the
tax and unemployment measure. It was the nal showdown of a year that once brought the government to the brink of a shutdown and also pushed the Treasury to the cusp of a rst-ever default. Obama and most Democrats favor an income surtax on million-dollar earners to pay for extending the Social Security tax cut, but Republicans oppose that, saying it is a violation of their pledge not to raise taxes. Instead, the House bill called for a one-year pay freeze and higher pension costs for federal workers, higher Medicare costs for seniors over $80,000 in income as well as other items to cover the cost. Obamas veto message focused on economic issues which unite Democrats accusing Republicans of putting the burden of paying for the legislation on working families while giving a free pass to the wealthiest and to big corporations by protecting their loopholes and subsidies.
Stanford think tank report: Pension costs skyrocketing

\THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SACRAMENTO Californias public employee pension plans face long-term shortfalls as high as $500 billion as costs skyrocket each day, a Stanford University-based economic think tank said Tuesday in a report that critics assailed as relying on faulty data to support the groups political agenda. The Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research said the shortfall in the plans that cover 2.6 million California teachers, state workers and university employees is too large to be solved only by cutting future payouts. Lawmakers were urged to consider cutting benets and increasing contributions for current state employees a move that is legally questionable. Economist and former state Assemblyman Joe Nation, the reports author, said it costs the state $3.4 million for each day that lawmakers fail to change the pension benets and contribution levels for public employees. Nation, a Democrat, released the report with a privately funded studentled group, California Common Sense. Later Tuesday, state Treasurer Bill Lockyer resigned from the institutes pension advisory panel, saying the authors of the study had not listened to serious concerns raised about its methodology before the report was released.
Graham Bell recordings from 1880s played with 3D camera

By Brett Zongker
WASHINGTON Alexander Graham Bell foresaw many things, including that people could someday talk over a telephone. Yet the inventor certainly never could have anticipated that his audio-recording experiments in a Washington, D.C., lab could be recovered 130 years later and played for a gathering of scientists, curators and journalists. To be or not to be, a mans voice can be heard saying in one recording as it was played on a computer at the Library of Congress on Tuesday. The speaker from the 1880s recites a portion of Hamlets Soliloquy as a green wax
disc crackles to life from computer speakers. The early audio recordings which revealed recitations of Shakespeare, numbers and other familiar lines had been packed away and deemed obsolete at the Smithsonian Institution for more than a century. But new technology has allowed them to be recovered and played. The technology reads the sound from tiny grooves with light and a 3D camera. The recordings offer a glimpse into the dawn of the information age, when inventors were scrambling to make new discoveries and secure patents for the first telephones and phonographs, even early fiber optics.

Local seasonal activities for seniors

By Greg Hartwell
s the holiday season gets into full swing, many of us are caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season, attending holiday parties, sending out Christmas cards and scouring the malls, Internet and local businesses for that perfect gift. Ive learned from my work over the years that the smallest effort or outing can be life changing for elder adults, creating treasured memories far better than any present one can nd in a store. Here in San Mateo County, we are fortunate to have a multitude of community organizations that host holiday events for seniors that can help him or her feel less isolated and provide a much needed human connection.
Guest perspective
to the season with unique renditions of holiday songs played by Gabriels Heavenly Trumpets. The event takes place at the Foster City Library 7 p.m. Dec. 16 and the Woodside Library 3:30 p.m. Dec. 20. It is open to all ages and is free to the public. Visit www.smcl.org for details. These are just a few events that can brighten the day of a senior in your life. You can also provide support through creative outlets in your own home such as ornament making, providing a tree and helping decorate it, baking holiday cookies, assisting in gift wrapping and/or shopping or making cards together. Whatever way you chose to spend time with an elder adult, it is the goodwill and spirit of the season that makes all of the difference.

Unclear on the message

f there is any question that the Occupy movement at least in its current incarnation in San Francisco is losing its ability to catch on with regular folks, it was the rally and march this weekend to Union Square. In the midst of the shoppers, the about-to-be ice skaters and those just taking a look at the tall Christmas tree was a small gathering of a wide variety of protesters gathered in the northwest corner. The most prominent sign was about how circumcision violates human rights next to other signs about how Tibet should be freed, Cuba must be defended and how human rights should be defended internationally. At the center of the gathering of signs was a woman talking about how the United States is evil. One man behind me said, Maybe they shouldnt circumcise people in Tibet. Im not sure he got the message, but then again, Im not sure those within the gathering really got all their messages either. At the end of the speakers, it was decided the group would march back to wherever, and though they could have easily t on the sidewalk, they decided to take to the middle of Post Street, where members of the San Francisco Police Department waiting near the curb quickly came and directed trafc away from them. One mild-mannered man scurrying across the street to make way stopped to say to the lead marcher, Youre a (expletive) idiot. To which the chanting of The system has got to die began. Another woman waiting to cross said to her companion, Wait, we have an organized nonprot that helps feed the homeless, and theyre telling me my system doesnt work? And like that, the group was gone to nd themselves co-mingling with the thousands of Santa-suited participants of the Santacon bar crawl and regular folk wondering what all the hubbub was about. We had just come from a showing of Fela! at the Curran Theatre. The musical was a biography of sorts of the Afrobeat icon Fela Kuti, who took the country of Nigeria by storm in the 1960s and 70s. Fela, by most accounts, was a charismatic singer who took issue with the oppressive governmental regime. Through his music, known as highlife, he told others to educate themselves and organize against oppression. It was ironic that the music and life of such a powerful and energetic man was recounted with a moving and creative musical score so near to where this movement was seemingly trying to coalesce. To have a productive movement, one needs a leader and one needs to be organized. The Occupy movement seems to have neither. And now, it is proving to be a mockery of itself with its collection of legitimate concern combined with dissent and hatred of the United States, the very nation that allows such views. On Monday, the movement marched to shut down the Port of Oakland and, on Tuesday, port ofcials estimated the loss in revenue to be approximately $8.5 million. I still dont get how an anti-Wall Street movement nds a reason to block western ports and halt the ability of average working people from making a living. Is it because the port brings in goods from other countries? Isnt that the business of any nation, ancient or modern? I get the idea of buying local, and wanting to highlight the wares of local companies and work of local people. But shutting down the port is myopic, destructive and just a bit self-indulgent. But maybe the movement is about the idea of Look at me! Look at me! That seemed to be the point in Union Square. And I know anyone who favors the movement will simply say I just dont get it. But those watching with a perplexed look on their face in Union Square didnt seem to get it either. And there has to be a reason for that.

Making comprehensive public transit a reality
Editor, With the signing of the agreement to bring BART to the city of San Jose and Santa Clara Dec. 8, public transit has taken one big step to ensure what it really exists for. Now thousands of people will be able to commute to work in the Silicon Valley, also others will be able to travel to various destinations throughout the Bay Area. The BART system stretching to San Jose provides a comprehensive system of transit and cuts down on all the transfers to different transit systems, which is the biggest reason that people do not use it. This new connection will also take more cars off the highway system and save energy in the process. This is an example of thinking in the right direction and serving what is good for the majority of people. Hopefully, others will learn from this decision and make comprehensive public transit a reality for us all. ter writers Steven Howard and John Dillon regarding the Bergs rent (Couple faces big rent hike, again in the Nov. 30 edition of the Daily Journal).

was able to sell short-term debt at much lower interest rates compared with a month ago, a signal that markets are becoming less fearful about the governments ability to repay its debt. In its rst sale of short-term bills, the European Financial Stability Fund raised 1.9 billion euros ($2.6 billion) from investors at an average rate of 0.22 percent. Thats below the rate Germany pays for the similar bills. This is an amazing success, Carl Weinberg, chief economist at High Frequency Economics, wrote in a note to clients. The Dow sank 162 points Monday when Moodys and Fitch warned that the scal agreement reached last week among European leaders fell far short of what was needed to contain that regions debt crisis. Barring any big news out of Europe, stocks are likely to be stuck in a range for the rest of the week, said Tim Hoyle, director of research at Haverford Investments. Trying to guess which way the market is going to go any day is a fools errand, he said. The Commerce Department reported Tuesday that retail sales rose for the sixth straight month in November.

The Federal Reserve portrayed the U.S. economy as slightly healthier but cautioned that it remains vulnerable to the European debt crisis. Strains in global financial markets continue to pose signicant downside risks to the economic outlook, the Fed said.

Facebook aims to help prevent suicide
MENLO PARK Help is just a few clicks away on Facebook for people expressing suicidal thoughts. The social networking site launched a new feature Tuesday that enables users to connect with a counselor through a condential chat session triggered after a friend reports distressing content. The new tool has several benets, experts say, in the quest to reduce the number of nearly 100 Americans who commit suicide every day. First, it brings quick intervention at times when it can be of most help. Second, it enables troubled people to start a chat over an instant messaging system that many nd more comfortable than speaking on the phone with a counselor. Weve heard from many people who say they want to talk to someone but dont want to call. Instant message is perfect for that, said Lidia Bernik, associate project director of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
WASHINGTON Economic growth is picking up in the nal three months of the year, fueled by higher consumer spending, rising business stockpiles and modest increases in hiring. The start of the holiday shopping season in November helped produce the sixth straight monthly increase in retail sales. Gift-buying Americans spent more on clothing and electronics, and sales of autos and furniture also rose. Still, the improvement might not last. Unemployment remains high, and incomes are stagnant. Thats likely to restrain growth early next year. So could any worsening of Europes nancial crisis. Because pay raises have been slight,
consumers have dipped into savings to nance much of the additional spending. That trend may not be sustainable. Looking ahead to early next year, we expect consumer spending to slow markedly amid sluggish income growth, shrinking household wealth, low savings and tight credit conditions, Michelle Meyer, an economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, said in a note to clients. For now, the economic data remains encouraging. Job openings declined slightly in October, but they were still at the second-highest level in three years. Businesses also built up their inventories in October, after holding them steady in September. That means extra factory production was likely needed to increase companies stockpiles. Overall, most analysts expect the economy to grow at an annual rate of at
least 3 percent in the October-December quarter, up from 2 percent in the JulySeptember period. Retail sales rose 0.2 percent in November, the government said Tuesday. That was lower than Octobers gain, which was revised up to show a 0.6 percent increase. And it was the smallest increase in ve months. Even so, more spending on retail goods shows the economy is continuing to grow steadily, if slowly. An increase in furniture and auto sales suggested that consumers made more big purchases in November. So-called core sales, which exclude the volatile categories of autos, gasoline and building materials, rose for an 11th straight month. At the same time, sales fell at gasoline stations and restaurants.
Cant raise taxes? Hike Medicare premiums instead

SuccessFactors completes Jobs2web acquisition

MINNEAPOLIS San Mateo-based SuccessFactors Inc., which makes software for human resources management, said Tuesday that it has completed its $110 million acquisition of recruitment software maker Jobs2web. SuccessFactors, which is being purchased by German enterprise software company SAP AG for $3.4 billion, announced the Jobs2web deal last week. The company said that Jobs2web will be integrated into its business execution applications.
WASHINGTON Republicans may have found a way to squeeze more money out of well-to-do Americans without raising their taxes. A year-end economic package approved by the House on Tuesday prescribes a Medicare premium increase for high-income beneciaries. Although the bill faces a veto threat from the White House, that specic provision may turn out to have staying power. High income for Medicare beneciaries currently means those making $85,000 and above for individuals, or
$170,000 for families. Just the top 5 percent of Medicare recipients fall into those income brackets, causing them to pay higher premiums for outpatient and prescription coverage. The legislation would expand that over time so the highest-earning onefourth of seniors pay added premiums. Millions who dont consider themselves wealthy would end up paying more, in some cases several hundred dollars more a month. AARP, the seniors lobby, says the premium increases are tantamount to a new tax. In the Democratic-led Senate, theres not much enthusiasm. But the plan is modeled on a proposal
that President Barack Obama submitted earlier this year to congressional debt negotiators, when he was seeking a big deal to cut federal decits. Continuing pressure to curb spending means the proposal eventually could become the law of the land, even if theres no consensus now. This is an idea that seems to have some traction, said Tricia Neuman, a Medicare expert for the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. Its also creating a lot of confusion about who is wealthy and who is not. For example, when Obama talks about raising taxes on the rich, he means individuals making more than $200,000 a year and families above $250,000.

Some people have always postponed Christmas celebrations because their jobs dont pause for the holiday. But in the weak economy, folks are delaying Christmas for another reason: money. Deloittes annual holiday survey for the rst time asked shoppers whether they planned to wait until January to do the bulk of their shopping for Christmas. Six percent of the more than 5,000 respondents said they did. The strategy can pay off. After Christmas, retailers offer discounts of up
to 75 percent on a wider variety of items than they do in the weeks leading up to the holiday. Its something cost-conscious shoppers have gotten hip to. Retail sales during the seven days after Christmas rose year-over-year in three of the past ve years, according to research firm ShopperTrak. And last year, year-overyear online spending grew by 22 percent on Dec. 26 and 56 percent on Dec. 27, according to computer giant IBMs retail consulting arm.

Bulldogs slumping

Long-time friends play against each other for first time

The College of San Mateo womens basketball team has hit a bit of a speed bump. Winners of four straight, the Bulldogs went through an eight-day stretch beginning Dec. 3, where they lost back-to-back games for the times this season. Heck, according to coach Michelle Warner, its the first theyve lost back-to-back games since summer ball. We were hitting a good groove and the last game of the tournament (San Luis Obispo), that was a tough loss at the last second, Warner said. We were still playing hard and focused. But I have never seen them play like they were in that rst half on Saturday against Mission. It was terrible. It was like they were freshman all over again. You can tell mentally they were not focused and ready. That loss at SLO against Barstow came in the tournament nale. It was an extremely physical game that ended with the Bulldogs on the short end of a 54-52 decision. That was the championship game so it was kind of hard, Warner said. It was the rst time that Hannan (Salah) and Kimmie (Fung), who are our two leading scorers, were off. They both shot a really bad percentage that game. That was a hard loss to take. I think we played pretty well, it was a real physical game. Our shots werent going in I think because of the physicality. The Bulldogs shot 28 percent from the oor and had the ball in the waning seconds to try and win the game. But a jump ball/non-foul call gave the ball to Barstow with .3 seconds left. That was our worse shooting night of the year, Warner said. Until we played Mission. Avert your eyes, CSM fans. In that rst half against Mission, the Bulldogs shot 18 percent from the oor and went into the locker room trailing 42-27. They just outplayed us in the rst half. We werent communicating, we werent focused. Warner said it mightve had something to do with playing on the weekend before nals she said she believed her team was a bit frazzled.
When the Serra basketball team makes the short trip to Burlingame Friday night, not only is it the renewal of one of the most heated rivalry games on Peninsula, but it will also mark the rst time lifelong friends will face off against one another. Frankie Ferrari, a sophomore point guard for Burlingame, and Henry Caruso, a junior forward for Serra, have known each other nearly their entire lives. They grew up playing on the same basketball and baseball teams. Ferrari said he talks to Caruso almost daily, while Caruso has fond memories spending hours at Ferraris house. The two cemented their relationship as members of the Hillsborough Little League AllStar squad that captured four straight District 52 titles two 910 championships in 2005 and 2006, the 2007 10-11 crown and the 2008 11-12 championship. Caruso was the big slugger who could play virtually every position and who was arguably the best player on a team full of great players. Ferrari, an inelder, catcher and pitcher, was a table-setter offensively. A spark plug at the top or bottom of the lineup that got the offense going. Were like best friends. Were more like brothers than friends, Ferrari said. We hang out all the time and our families are close. When it came time for high school, the friends went their separate ways Ferrari to Burlingame and Caruso to Serra. Ferrari said neither really seriously considered going to the other school to be with his pal. My dad was coaching here at Burlingame, so I was coming here, Ferrari said. Some of his family went to Serra, so I think he (Caruso) was destined to go to Serra. Now, after literally hundreds of games as teammates, Caruso and Ferrari take the oor Friday night as opponents for the rst time in their athletic careers. We talk about (Fridays game), but we dont overhype it, Caruso said. Were excited for it. We both like to compete and go after it. We both have the same values.

Athlete of the Week

deadly on set pieces. Shes just a very talented, motivated soccer player who has passion for the game, a lot of understanding of the game. McCanns cerebral approach to the mideld position was on display this weekend as Burlingame kicked off their annual tournament with back-to-back wins outscoring their opponents 9-1. At the root of the Panthers success was McCann and a core of young talent that now calls Burlingame home. On Friday night against Terra Nova, the Panthers defeated the Tigers 2-1 in a game dominated by the red and white. Burlingame followed that up with a 7-0 drilling of Capuchino on Saturday. In that game, McCann assisted on the rst three Burlingame goals and then found the net twice. Shes really an outstanding soccer player with an outstanding soccer mind, DeRosa said. You get soccer players, and then you get players who are completely focused on the game and getting better. And thats Savannah McCann. And for her efforts, McCann is the Daily Journal Athlete of the Week. Shes a very young junior, DeRosa said. Actually, age-wise, shes a sophomore, so her
According to Phillip DeRosa, coach of the Burlingame girls soccer team, the tell-all story behind Savannah McCann is this: See ball. Play. Hows that sound? Well, it sounds great and if youve had the chance to catch McCann and the Panthers play in the early part of the 2011-2012 season, it looks even better. Shes a bona de player, DeRosa said. Shes our primary center-mid. Shes a playmaker, very skilled, outstanding 1-v-1 skills,
growth potential, its a straight line up. Well really look to her to continue to improve dramatically over these next couple of years. The entire Burlingame community should be excited, not just to watch McCann play, but to see the young nucleus of player come together and form what could be a great team. DeRosa knows a thing or two about winning, having won a pair of CCS titles in 2008 and 2009. Last year was a bit of a rebuilding season for the Panthers. This season, with the youngest team in his tenure, DeRosa said its time to let players like McCann take the reins and lead the way.

Thompson said with a smile. Thompson, second-round pick Jeremy Tyler, who also signed Tuesday, and several others had been left Klay Thompson to learn as much as they could without being on the court in a formal practice setting. They typically did conditioning and lifted weights on their own in the morning, attended practice, then returned to the teams facility for a few hours at night to work on offensive and defensive sets and get in some extra shooting. Its really painful because you want to compete and you want to stay up to date on everything thats going down in practice, said Thompson, the Warriors 11th overall pick out of Washington State. We get a second workout in, do some conditioning, do some drills to get in shape. With a compressed season its all going to come real fast. Theres going to be no slack for rookies, so weve got to be ready. Jackson appreciates the initiative taken by the rookies. He understands it hasnt been an ideal situation, especially for young players who need all the court time they can get during a regular training camp let alone in a condensed schedule. Golden States first exhibition game is Saturday at home against Sacramento. That says a lot as to their willingness to learn, their commitment to want to be around here. That goes hand in hand with the culture change, Jackson said. Thompson, a 6-foot-7 shooting guard with great range and versatility, didnt let the delay in getting on the practice oor affect him. After all, he waited through the monthslong NBA lockout. They keep me updated. Its out of my hands, so Im just keeping a good attitude about it, Thompson said. Thats the best thing you can do. Jackson has already told Thompson and the other rookies there will be ample opportunities to play right away as long as they play defense. The coach reiterated that Tuesday regarding Thompson, saying, Hes that good. A pure scorer, Thompson will focus his efforts on improving himself on the other end. He averaged a Pac-10 best 21.6 points 11th in the nation last season as a junior at Washington State and also 5.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists. Thompson also can play small forward. For now, he is doing his best to be supportive of the Warriors efforts to bolster the roster. I feel like its in the best interest of the team to go out there and try to nd a player. Im just being patient with it, Thompson said. I waited four or ve months for this opportunity with the lockout. Tyler provided a message for the players sitting out to learn all they can during this time, because soon theyll be going full speed. Its not good that were sitting

Warriorstop pick Thompson eager for practice

By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND Klay Thompson had felt a little bit more like Golden States team manager lately than a rst-round pick. The determined rookie hardly expected his early days in the NBA to be spent observing from the sidelines as his teammates worked under new Warriors coach Mark Jackson. Thompson nally signed his contract Tuesday and practiced for the rst time. The delay in his signing came as the franchise protected some salary-cap room to pursue free agents. Earlier Tuesday, the Warriors also agreed to terms with former Bobcats center Kwame Brown on a one-year, $7 million deal, according to his agent. About all Thompson had been allowed to do was rebound for his teammates during shooting drills he couldnt participate in practice. I can watch, rebound for the players. I feel like a manager again,
out, but you dont look at it as the most negative thing in the world, Tyler said. Just take every positive out of it. Warriors owner Joe Lacob has announced that he has big plans for Thompson in his rookie season, predicting he will be in the running for Rookie of the Year. That meant a lot to Thompson, who knows the entire front ofce supports him. And he believes he can do it, too. Hearing that gives me a great sense of condence. That means they have my back and I really appreciate that they feel that way and hopefully I wont disappoint, Thompson said. Thats why Im putting in all this extra work. Im really humbled they would make a statement like that. ... Im excited. I think I have the perfect opportunity to win that award and thats my ultimate goal for the season, individual goal that is.
Rush for Christmas start leaves NBA in disarray

By Brian Mahoney
The lockout ended, and the NBAs woes were just beginning. Dwight Howard asked to be traded. Chris Paul was dealt to the Lakers, it seemed, until the league decided he wasnt. So the Lakers made another trade, which Kobe Bryant hated. Nobodys happy, Spurs forward Tim Duncan said. He was referring to feelings about
terms of the new collective bargaining agreement, which in some ways are so similar to the old ones that its fair to wonder exactly what was the point of the ve-month lockout. But he might as well have been talking about the superstars who want new homes, the critics blistering Commissioner David Stern for forcing one to stay put, or team ofcials charged with having clubs ready to play by Christmas under bizarre circumstances.
Its just too bad, it really is. Its not reective right now of the great product we had, you know? former coach and ABC/ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy said. Its one thing to have a summer and fall of strife due to labor negotiations. Its another to be seen as an organization thats in disarray once you settle that. Van Gundy blames money, the natural place to start. Owners will save plenty by getting players to agree to a 12 percent reduction in salary costs in the
new deal. But in doing so in time to salvage a substantial season, they conceded on many issues that were necessary to create the competitive balance they said they craved. So Paul and Howard are trying to force their way from small markets to big, just as Carmelo Anthony did last year, and theres no guaranteed mechanism to stop them. But at least everyone was home for Halloween. Just like the regular fan out there,
just like you guys, you do wonder why stuff happened. You look at it and say, Why did the lockout happen?Miami guard Dwyane Wade said. I dont see it helping right now. Maybe in a few years well all look back and see why this lockout happened. But right now its not showing its face at all. ... The competitive balance thing was a pie-inthe-sky.

Herniated Disc? Severe Back/Neck Pain? Sciatica?

Spinal Decompression may be your answer to minimizing your chronic pain and restoring better motion and function back to your spine.
At Crossroads Health Center, your Satisfaction is Guaranteed. Let us help you get the quality of life back that you deserve.
y name is Dr. Thomas Ferrigno D.C., owner of Crossroads Health Center in Campbell and San Mateo. I understand what it feels like to live with chronic back pain. Due to several auto accidents and sports injuries, I have personally suffered from multiple disc herniations in both my neck and lower back and understand rsthand the severe pain and disability that comes with these types of injuries to the point where I was forced to sell all 3 of my practices. I did not want to have spinal surgery due to the high risk; instead I wanted a non-surgical non-invasive therapy that would help me manage my condition. That is when I turned to Spinal Decompression, not as a doctor, but as a patient and it completely changed my life. Within a few months my pain went from severe to mild and I was able to return back to my activities of golf, weight lifting and spending quality time with my family. It has been my mission ever since to share this great new technology with as many people as possible. While non-surgical spinal decompression is a rather new treatment, theres plenty of research to back up its claims. Give us a call and we will send you the studies or visit my website at www.BayAreaBackPain.Com. However its the results we see every day in our ofce that get us so excited about this new non-invasive treatment. Read what a few of our patients are saying. My severe lower back and sciatica pain have been reduced signicantly since receiving spinal decompression therapy. I am now able to walk, golf and do things without pain that I havent been able to do for years. Thank you, Dr. Ferrigno C.M. Allard During the 1 1/2 years of having constant daily lower back pain and spasms, I took anti-inammatory and pain medication, but nothing helped lessen the pain. Physical therapy didnt help. When an MRI showed that I had two degenerative discs, I went through a series of lumbar epidural injections. The rst one helped a tiny bit, but the others didnt do a thing for my pain. The only thing that made the pain and spasms go away was Spinal Decompression treatments at Crossroads Health Center. Four years later and I am still pain-free! Lisa K..

Harrison Marinos record in jeopardy SteelersLBfor game suspended

By Barry Wilner
NEW YORK Dan Marino long ago moved to the comfort of the broadcast booth. His passing record of 5,084 yards, set in 1984, has withstood strongarmed challenges for more than a quarter-century. It looks as if that record is about to fall, and not at the hands of one prolic quarterback but as many as four. Drew Brees, who came closest to it in 2009, falling 15 yards short, leads the chase at 4,368 yards, followed by Tom Brady with 4,273 and Aaron Rodgers with 4,125. Imagine how Eli Manning feels having 4,105, yet being fourth in this lineup. Only Marino and Brees have reached 5,000 yards passing in a season, yet all four of these players gure to get there if they remain in the lineup. Theres always the chance the Packers will rest Rodgers once they have clinched homeeld advantage in the NFC playoffs, which could come with a win this weekend at Kansas City. Then again, they do have that undefeated thing going, so maybe he wont be seeing the sideline all that much. Bradys Patriots and Brees Saints are in a different situation. Both their teams could need to win the rest of the way to reach as advantageous a postseason position as possible. Neither has clinched its division, although New Orleans owns at least a wild-card spot in the NFC, and one more victory gives New England the AFC East. Manning, barring injury, wont be sitting out anything with the Giants needing to sweep their nal three games to assure making the playoffs. Manning is playing with an ease and condence usually associated with, well, Brady and Brees, recently with Rodgers, and with that guy in Indianapolis named Peyton. Plus, he might need to get to
5,000 yards to keep the Giants in the championship mix. I dont ever feel pressure when Im playing football, Manning said. I know my assignments, Im reading the defense, I know Drew Brees my plays and I try to make plays and try to get the ball into my receivers hands and let them do their job. Its exciting, its fun. Im competitive and Im out there doing what I can to get a win. So, gentlemen, let Tom Brady er rip. For me, I havent really thought about the 300-yard games or the necessary (pace) to do that or anything like that. I just think about doing whatever it takes to win, Brees Aaron Rodgers has said. Hes already been through this pursuit, so unlike the other three, this is not uncharted territory for Brees. It seemed like this is one of those crazy years where teams are throwing it a lot. Eli Manning I think as the year goes on situations changes. Some people stay on pace and others dont. Four have stayed on pace. This is the rst season with at least three quarterbacks passing for more than
4,000 yards through Week 14. There also have been a league-record 14 400-yard passing games, led by Manning with three; Marino holds the record with four in 84. The reasons for such prolic passing numbers are many. Start with the lockout, which prevented defenses from putting together and mastering the complex schemes that slow the aerial game. For most of the schedule, offenses have been ahead of defenses, and some of those leaky pass defenses (Packers, Patriots, Saints, Giants) belong to division leaders. Its not just the tailenders who cant cover receivers. Weather also has helped rarely have we seen the wind, rain or cold that mess up passing attacks. If it snows, it is better. It helps your footing as a receiver compared to the defensive back, says Cris Carter, a seminalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year and fourth on the career receptions list. The greatest effect is the wind and the temperature. When you get below zero and have the wind, those are the things that hinder the passing game most. Those things have not occurred through 14 weeks. The rules also help passing as quarterbacks and receivers get the benet of the doubt on penalty calls, which makes defenders gun-shy. Finally, colleges are training quarterbacks in ways that t the pro style much better than they ever did. A Cam Newton or Andy Dalton can step right in during the 2011 season and have an impact, just as a Ben Roethlisberger or Matt Ryan or Sam Bradford have done in recent years, and pile up the yards. Unquestionably, the NFL has become a pass-rst league. It might not be too long before 5,000-yard seasons are the norm and people are wondering what was the big deal about Marinos record.
after hit on McCoy

When Mom needed 24 hour care . . .
PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison has carved out a niche as one of the NFLs most feared defenders over the last ve years by straddling the line between clean and dirty play. After one dangerous hit too many, the league apparently has seen enough. The NFL suspended Harrison for one game following his helmetto-facemask hit on Browns quarterback Colt McCoy last Thursday, making Harrison the rst player to miss game time as a penalty under the leagues revamped policy on such collisions. Harrisons agent Bill Parise said Tuesday afternoon Harrison has already led an appeal and expects it to be heard later this week by Art Shell or Ted Cottrell, jointly appointed by the NFL and the players association to hear such cases. Theyll have to determine Harrisons intent when he laid out McCoy late in the fourth quarter of Pittsburghs 14-3 victory. The 2008 NFL Defensive Player of the Year was penalized for James Harrison roughing the passer on the play and said Monday he believed the hit didnt warrant further punishment. NFL Executive Vice President Ray Anderson disagreed, pointing out the violation marked the fth illegal hit on a quarterback by Harrison in the last three seasons. The four-time Pro Bowler has also been ned on two other occasions for unnecessary roughness over the same period. Though Harrison hasnt been ned for such a hit in over a year, he was considered a repeat offender under the 2011 League Policies for Players manual, leading to the suspension. Harrison, who has been highly critical of the leagues crackdown on vicious hits, thanked his fans for their support on his Twitter account after the suspension was levied, adding, Im just going to move on from here and get ready for my next game. Barring a successful appeal, that wont be until the Steelers (10-3) face St. Louis on Christmas Eve. Harrison has maintained the hit didnt warrant any punishment other than the 15-yard penalty, saying Monday it was obvious to him that McCoy chucked and ducked. The Browns were driving in Pittsburgh territory with less than 6 minutes to play when McCoy took a snap and dropped back to pass before tucking the ball to escape the pass rush. Harrison, who had been in coverage, approached quickly. McCoy pulled up just before Harrison arrived and ipped the ball to running back Montario Hardesty. Harrison lowered his helmet and smacked McCoy in the facemask just after the pass was released, sending the second-year quarterback to the ground. McCoy laid on the ground for several moments before slowly getting up and walking to the sideline. He returned a few plays later to throw a game-clinching end zone interception then developed concussion-like symptoms following the game, leading the NFL Players Association to representatives to Cleveland to look into how the team handled McCoys injury. While Harrison believed he should have been agged but not suspended, the Steelers pledged to press onward even if it means being without their All-Pro linebacker for next Monday nights game at San Francisco (10-3).

Theyre young, theyre learning, theyre guring out each other, DeRosa said. When youre playing next to a player, and keep in mind, these are players that have only been together for this past month, so as they start to gel, as they start to read each other, their moves, where theyre going to pass to, their passing lanes, what are their tendencies, thats when the team starts to gel. DeRosa isnt just alluding to McCann. He also has players like Lena Mendelson, Janine Chafee and Abby Hohenschuh who can do some things on the pitch. But No. 10, whose last name you might recognize from her older sister and former Daily Journal Player of the Year Taylor McCann, is the center from which all good things begin. Shes completely focused. She just loves soccer and has a tremendous passion for it. And it shows up in the way she plays. Im really looking forward to the next couple of years with her, DeRosa said. Saturday, McCann sparked the onslaught of goals by feeding Mendelson to start the match. She then found Sabrina Parness and Rachel Byrd for goals two and three. Before the game was over, McCann was rewarded for her generosity, scoring twice, including the nal goal on a penalty kick. The thing with high school is, putting the puzzle together looking at the strengths of each and seeing how they t into your style of coaching and play, DeRosa said of his young play-

He nearly averaged a doubledouble in 2010-11. Ferrari made the Burlingame varsity squad last year as a freshman, but didnt see a ton of playing time. This year, its already clear this Panthers squad is Ferraris to run. In six games so far this season, Ferrari has eclipsed the 20-point mark four times. Despite the success the two have experienced in baseball, both Ferrari and Caruso consider themselves basketball players who play baseball. Ferrari was a member of the Burlingame frosh-soph baseball team last season, while Caruso missed the season with a broken hand. Caruso said hes still debating whether he wants to play baseball this season. When I was younger, I played a lot more basketball, Caruso said. After Little League, I stopped (playing baseball) for a little while. My passion for basketball just grew after that. While a one-on-one matchup between friends a la Magic

ers. Thats whats makes this challenging and so much fun. I get a lot of personal satisfaction watching them develop. DeRosa attributes Burlingames success in the infants stages of the season to players like McCann, who are almost like coaches on the pitch. If youre receptive to your players input, they buy into it too, he said. Then theyll go out and do it. The kids have played this game for a lot of years, they develop a lot of skills and knowledge and any coach that doesnt listen to their players is missing out because these kids, they know the game.
Johnson and Isiah Thomas in the 1992 NBA All-Star Game would be the perfect ending to this story, it probably wont happen. Ferrari plays in the backcourt while Caruso is mixing it up near the basket. At that point, it will no longer be about Ferrari and Caruso anymore, it will be about the teams and the game, a matchup the Padres have owned over the last decade. Serra has won ve of the last six meetings, with Burlingame recording its rstever win over the Padres in 2009 with a 49-47 victory. This on the heels of the 2008 game that saw the Padres survive 38-36, only after ofcials ruled Rodrigo Pulicenos basket at the buzzer was a hair too late. 2007 was also a two-point Serra win, 50-48. The other times? The games were all but over at halftime with Serra cruising to wins. I dont know if Ill have a chance to guard [Ferrari], Caruso said. But it will be a good game. Regardless if the pair nd themselves matched up against each other, they will be on the floor together a lot. There will be plenty of instances for the two to interact. Ill denitely be joking around with him, for sure, Ferrari said. Try to get in his head a little bit. And dont expect either to show mercy to the other if their paths do cross. If Ferrari comes down the lane on a drive and Caruso is the last line of defense Im going up to contest it, Caruso said. Im trying to beat him. On the court, he wont be my friend. Said Ferrari: Its denitely a battle of friends, for sure.

NEW YORK Baseballs new labor contract includes more video replay, the chance for a longer AllStar break and a small, but likely welcome perk for players: the chance to get a private room instead of a roommate during spring training. The Associated Press obtained the document that includes several changes, many starting next year. Among them: allowing teams from the same division to meet in the playoffs before the league championship series. a ban on players getting tattoos with corporate logos. the possibility of players wearing microphones during games. Players have already ratied the hundreds of pages contained in Major League Baseballs Memorandum of Understanding. Owners are scheduled to vote Thursday. Also part of the deal: Any big leaguer who wants to change uniform numbers without switching teams better give eight months notice unless hes willing to buy warehouses full of his overstocked jerseys. MLB wants to expand replay to include fair-or-foul calls, whether a y ball or line drive was trapped and fan interference all around the ballpark. Umpires still must give their approval and its uncertain whether the extra replay will be in place by opening day.

Former NHL player urges training to combat abuse

WASHINGTON A former NHL player who was sexually abused by a junior coach in Canada told Congress Tuesday that the key to preventing abuse is training adults who oversee youth sports. Punishing the bad guys makes us feel good, but it does not fully solve the problem, Sheldon Kennedy said at a Senate hearing. Kennedy was testifying on the same day that former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky was scheduled to face his accusers at a preliminary hearing in Pennsylvania, but Sandusky waived that hearing. Sandusky, who faces more than 50 counts related to the sexual abuse of 10 boys over a 12-year period, has acknowledged horsing around and showering with boys, but has denied sexually abusing them. Last week, Kennedys former coach, Graham James, pleaded guilty in Canada to sexual
assaults involving two former players, including NHL star Theoren Fleury. The coach had already served 3 1/2 years in prison for abusing other players, including Kennedy. James was quietly pardoned for his crimes in 2007, leading to public outcry. Tuesdays hearing by a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions subcommittee is the rst one Congress has held in the wake of the Penn State scandal. Kennedy and Fleury have both become outspoken advocates for abuse victims. Kennedy is the co-founder of an organization called Respect Group, which has launched an online training program to educate adult youth leaders on abuse, bullying and harassment prevention. He said that his experience with the group has taught him that educating the good people the 99% of our population is our best defense to prevent abuse, and that training must be mandatory. Merritt, Santa Monica and Hartnell. There are some good teams and its good preparation for our conference (play), Warner said. They really like coming to San Mateo. The campus is beautiful. The teams like coming back. I dont think Ive had a new team for a couple years. Its good competition. We have six teams that were in the playoffs last year. So thats pretty good. Warner said she expects more of the team that won four straight and less of the team that loss back-to-back games. She also expects to have a full and healthy squad which has been a rarity in the seasons early part. Practice (on Tuesday) showed theyre much more determined and focus. They cant get frustrated at all because its next play, next play. Its just learning to do the little things, the timing on the play and reading the defense.

starting ve while their transactions awaited approval by the league ofce. Its an arbitrary date to have to start on Christmas. Theres no magical starting time. Just push it back. Let them have a normal free-agent period of a week, 10 days, then have two to three weeks of training camp with a few exhibition games. Let them do what they should do and then start whenever that date is, Van Gundy said. Skip steps, I dont see how thats helpful, other than its helpful to the pocketbook. I think sometimes we sacrice too many times the product for the pocketbook. Van Gundy recalled something he once heard from Daryl Morey, the Rockets general manager who thought he was getting Pau Gasol from the Lakers in the killed three-team trade. He said every organization needs a vice president of common sense, and right now thats exactly what the NBA needs. A vice president of common sense who looks at some of these decisions and says, You know what, were better than this. Were all making a ton of money anyway. If its a little less than a ton, thats OK. But lets make sure when we come back, we got the right product, Van Gundy said. I mean, the lockout didnt even help these teams. It wasnt anything about competitive balance. Still, fans would have forgotten about it easier with a smoother start to the season. Instead, the news and fallout from the NBA ofce, as current owners of the Hornets, killing the Paul trade came the same night Stern announced the new CBA had been ratied. Then came word that Howard had asked the Orlando Magic to trade him, in part because the team hadnt acted on his personnel recommendations though he said Monday he could be open to staying if the Magic made the right moves. Was this really the best way for the NBA to come back? Yes and no, Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. I think, you know, its certainly not the way (the Magic) wanted the NBA to come back. And I think the NBA, I cant speak for them, but I think they would want in some

ways things to be a little bit more positive than they been. But at the same time, the Chris Paul and Dwight Howard situations have created a tremendous amount of interest, to the point where I dont even hear any mention of the lockout anymore just those situations. The NBA has really gone to the top of the sports news in the last few days in the middle of an NFL season and everything else. So the NBA is probably getting more attention right now than they normally would at this point in December. So I would say theres some positive to it for them also. Theres not a lot of positive to it for us, but for to the NBA in general I think theres some positive to it for them. The NFL settled its lockout early enough that its entire schedule remained intact minus one preseason game. The NBA is giving teams only 16 days and two exhibition games from the time business reopened until the season tips off with a whole new set of rules to learn in between.

players willing to take less money to be happy. Thats what Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh did so they could team up last summer. Owners could have attempted to block future superteam building with a hard salary cap or franchise tag designations that exist in the NFL, but the players fought those changes in an effort to keep a system that looked like the old one, giving teams the ability to exceed the cap by quite a bit if they were willing to pay a luxury tax. The tentative deal on the main issues wasnt reached until Nov. 26, and Stern said the regular season would begin on Christmas if the deal was ratied in time. But it meant free agency opened the same day as training camps, forcing some teams to report with barely enough players for a

As U.S.troopsexit from Iraq nears, Sunni worries grow

By Rebecca Santana
TIKRIT, Iraq In the hometown of the late Saddam Hussein, arrests have become so commonplace that whenever a police car shows up, young men flee from the street. Its a striking illustration of fortunes reversed by the U.S.led invasion of 2003 that overthrew the Sunni ascendancy and put the Shiite majority on top. Now, with the last American forces to leave Iraq by the end of the month, Sunnis like 57year-old Jassim Mohammed are worried. The American departure represents a joyous event, but our concerns are about the time after the departure, the Tikrit schoolteacher said. Absolutely, after the American withdrawal the divisions between Sunnis and Shiites will get worse and worse. Tikrit, 80 miles (130 kilometers) north of Baghdad, has large homes, some three stories high with bougainvillea climbing their high walls, that attest to its former prominence as the power base of Saddams Baath Party. Graffiti serves as a reminder that even five years after Saddam was tried by an Iraqi court and hanged, he is still a hero to many. One scrawled message refers to the dictator who ruled Iraq with an iron fist as a martyr who lives in honorable peoples hearts. He is buried in al-Aouja, a town about 10 miles (15 kilometers), south of here. The tomb, guarded by his relatives, is draped with the Saddam-era Iraqi flag. A Quran rests nearby. A collage of photos of Saddam, his family and relatives is assembled on a nearby wall. Few visitors come. In the highly charged atmosphere of post-Saddam Iraq, Baathist is about the worst thing an Iraqi can be called. Lately tensions have risen with the arrest around the country of hundreds of former ex-Baathists, allegedly as security threats although no proof has been given. Nationally, Shiites make up 60 to 65 percent of the population. But Tikrits 115,000 residents are overwhelmingly Sunni, according to the mayor, Dr. Omar Tarek.

Does the God particleexist?

Physicists close in on elusive subatomic particle
By John Heilprin
GENEVA Physicists are closing in on an elusive subatomic particle that, if found, would conrm a long-held understanding about why matter has mass and how the universes fundamental building blocks behave. Few people outside physics can fully comprehend the search for the Higgs boson, which was rst hypothesized 40 years ago. But proving that the God particle actually exists would be a vindication of the equations weve been using all these years, said one Nobel laureate. Scientists announced Tuesday that they had found hints but no denitive proof of the particle that is believed to be
a basic component of the universe. They hope to determine whether it exists by next year. Its hard to nd, not because it is especially tiny, but because it is hard to create, said physicist Howard Gordon of the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York. He works with the ATLAS experiment, one of two independent teams looking for the Higgs boson at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research near Geneva. CERN runs the Large Hadron Collider under the Swiss-French border, a 17mile (27-kilometer) tunnel where highenergy beams of protons are sent crashing into each other at incredible speeds. A fraction of those collisions could produce the Higgs particle, assuming it exists.
Researchers said Tuesday that they had dened a range of likely masses for the Higgs. CERNs director-general, Rolf Heuer, said the window for the Higgs mass gets smaller and smaller as scientists learn more. But be careful its intriguing hints, he said. We have not found it yet. We have not excluded it yet. Tuesdays revelations were highly anticipated by thousands of researchers, but the ideas behind the Higgs boson date back to the 1960s. British physicist Peter Higgs and others theorized its existence to explain why the fundamental particles in matter have mass. Those particles, such as electrons, are the building blocks of the universe. Mass is a trait that combines with gravity to give an object weight.
U.S. urging no cellphones, texting by drivers

By Joan Lowy
WASHINGTON Texting, emailing or chatting on a cellphone while driving is simply too dangerous to be allowed, federal safety investigators declared Tuesday, urging all states to impose total bans except for emergencies. Inspired by recent deadly crashes including one in which a teenager sent or received 11 text messages in 11 minutes before an accident the recommendation would apply even to hands-free devices, a much stricter rule than any
current state law. The unanimous recommendation by the ve-member National Transportation Safety Board would make an exception for devices deemed to aid driver safety such as GPS navigation systems. A group representing state highway safety ofces called the recommendation a game-changer. States arent ready to support a total ban yet, but this may start the discussion, Jonathan Adkins, a spokesman for the Governors Highway Safety Association, said. NTSB chairman Deborah Hersman
acknowledged the recommendation would be unpopular with many people and that complying would involve changing what has become ingrained behavior for many Americans. While the NTSB doesnt have the power to impose restrictions, its recommendations carry signicant weight with federal regulators and congressional and state lawmakers. Another recommendation issued Tuesday urges states to aggressively enforce current bans on text messaging and the use of cellphones and other portable electronic devices while driving.

Americans are feeling bubbly about Champagne

By Michelle Locke
Champagne shipments were up nearly 22 percent comparing the rst six months of this year to the same period in 2010,with a total of 7.5 million bottles shipped to the U.S. as of June.
The economy may be in a funk and consumer spending in a slump, but theres one glass that seems to be more than half full utes of Champagne to be precise. After seeing sales tumble as the recession hit, Champagne shipments were up nearly 22 percent comparing the rst six months of this year to the same period in 2010, with a total of 7.5 million bottles shipped to the U.S. as of June, according to the Washington-based Champagne Bureau. From July 2010 to June 2011, 18.3 million bottles were shipped, about a 20 percent increase over the July 2009-June 2010 period. The trend may be due to people spending more, between $30 and $50 on a bottle of wine, says Gwendolyn Osborn, wine expert for online retailer Wine.com. Since there are some good Champagnes to be found in that range, people are buying them, since it is viewed as a luxury, she says. Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label, which sells for about $45 on the site, was No. 6 on Wine.coms Top 10 sellers for 2011. Bargain-priced bubbles were popular too, of course. The No. 2 wine on the list was a cava from Spain, Jaume Serra Cristalino Brut Cava, which goes for $7.99. Still, there was definite interest in Champagne. Dom Perignon 2002, which has a price tag of around $160, jumped from 67th
place last year to No. 27 on the list this year. No need to sell author and wine expert Leslie Sbrocco on the joys of Champagne. Shes such a fan she had a glass of pink bubbly tattooed on her calf. Sbrocco, author of Wine for Women and founder of the website ThirstyGirl.com, likes all kinds of sparkling wine, including cava from Spain and prosecco from Italy. But Champagne is the icon, it is the mother ship, if you will, of bubbles, she points out. So when I think of bubbles I immediately am drawn to Champagne. To be called Champagne, the wines have to be made with grapes from the Champagne region of France. Sparkling wines are believed to have originated as a happy accident: Grapes were fermented and barreled during a cool harvest, which made the yeasts that turn sugar into alcohol go dormant. A warm spring then woke up the yeasts, restarted fermentation and, in the process, created bubbles. Just where and when that happened is unclear, but records show that sparkling wines were produced in the Languedoc region of southern France decades before the Champagne region became renowned for its sparkling wine. At rst, winemakers saw bubbles as a aw, and a dangerous one at that since the re-fermentation could cause the weak glass bottles of the era to explode. The advent of better corks and stronger bottles helped turn Champagne into a reliable product, one that was taken up by the French royal court.
These days, sparkling wines are available from all over the world, including many that are made the same way as Champagne. Still, Champagne has maintained its cachet, not least because of a robust name protection campaign waged by French producers who have reached agreements with wine regions and governments around the world to stop referring to sparkling wines from elsewhere as Champagne. U.S. ofcials signed an agreement in 2006 to stop new producers from using the name. However, existing brands were grandfathered in, though they are required to put the origin on the label, i.e., California or American. French Champagne tends to be expensive, with some bottles commanding hundreds of dollars. But there are values to be found. Sbrocco advises looking at non-vintage blends offered by some of the big houses, including the Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label and Louis Roederer Brut Premier. Another emerging trend is grower Champagnes, made by smaller producers who mostly grow their own grapes, as opposed to the big Champagne houses that buy grapes from all over the region. One way to identify a grower Champagne is if it has the initials RM on the label, which stands for RecoltantManipulant, literally, harvester-handler. Sarah Elliott, certied sommelier and wine director at Commonwealth restaurant in San Francisco, sees grower Champagnes as producing more unique

Puff pastry makes for simple,elegant veg tart

By Alison Ladman
The avors of warm Mediterranean sunshine come through in this easy vegetarian tart that is perfect for a holiday celebration. The addition of golden raisins may seem a bit odd, but they add a sweet touch to the otherwise savory avors. Weve opted for an easy pre-made puff pastry dough as our shell, but homemade or purchased pie crust would work, too. This tart works equally well as an appetizer or a vegetarian main course. If you need the tart to be vegan, simply use a vegan pastry and leave off the cheese.
MEDITERRANEAN VEGETABLE TART

This tart works equally well as an appetizer or a vegetarian main course
Start to nish: 45 minutes (25 minutes active) Servings: 16 appetizers or 8 entrees 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 small yellow onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped 1 small eggplant, peeled and cubed (4 cups) 2 tablespoons tomato paste 2 tablespoons white wine 12-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped 3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano 1/2 cup golden raisins Salt and ground black pepper 17.3-ounce package frozen puff pastry, thawed (each package contains 2 pastry sheets) 1/2 cup grated ricotta salata or feta cheese 2 tablespoons pine nuts Heat the oven to 400 F. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. In a large skillet over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the onion and garlic and saute until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the eggplant and cook until softened, about 8 to 9 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together the tomato paste and wine, then add to the pan. Add the roasted red peppers,
oregano and raisins. Cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated, about 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. On a lightly oured counter, roll out each pastry sheet to a rough circle 12 inches in diameter. Place each pastry sheet on one of the prepared baking sheets. Spoon half of the lling into the center of each pastry, leaving 2 inches uncovered around the edges. Fold the 2-inch edge of the pastry up over of the lling. Sprinkle the exposed lling with the cheese and pine nuts. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature. Refrigerate any leftovers.

DiSpiritos healthy fondue

fondue pot! Fondue is a casual and social way to celebrate. The trouble is, fondue especially cheese fondue can be incredibly unhealthy. A classic fondue starts with rich cheeses blended with a little spice and some white wine to create a thick, savory sauce for dipping chunks of bread and other morsels. Delicious, but dangerous to your New Years resolutions. So I decided to make a recipe that lets you eat sinfully without the sin. The secret is in the blend of cheeses: I used a low-fat Jarlsberg, a creamy light brie and already low-calorie pecorino Romano to make a rich fondue that no one will guess is low in calories and fat. For the liquid, I chose dry Champagne one of the lowest calorie adult beverages you can serve and a thickener similar to cornstarch called arrowroot (which has virtually no calories) in order to get the right consistency and avor. Fondues are outrageously easy to prepare virtually no cooking skill required. For starters, allow the cheese to stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before making the fondue so it will melt more quickly and incorporate more smoothly. Then simply stir together the ingredients in a saucepan, blend well and heat. Next, pour the mixture into a fondue pot and perch it on a coffee table or dining table where everyone can indulge. For healthy dunking, you can serve whole-wheat bread or grapes for dipping, or even pieces of raw broccoli, cooked shrimp or baked chicken strips. I suggest coating these with the thinnest layer of cheese possible, so that you can still taste whatever is at the end of your dipping stick. Finally, pull up some chairs or cushions (yes, you can place your fondue pot right on the oor) for some relaxed eating fun. And the numbers alone are reason to

Repeat with remaining bread strips and grapes. Place all 16 skewers on a large baking sheet. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bread is browned and crisp, turning once halfway through broiling. Set aside. In a small saucepan over mediumhigh, bring the water and shallot to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, until the shallots are tender, about 2 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the arrowroot with 1 ounce of the Champagne. Pour the remaining Champagne into the saucepan with the shallot. Whisk the arrowroot and Champagne mixture into the saucepan. Continue to cook and whisk until the mixture is thickened, about 30 seconds. Reduce the heat to low and add the Jarlsberg, whisking constantly until the cheese is melted. Add the pecorino and continue whisking until melted. Repeat with the brie. Season to taste with salt and a pinch of cayenne. Pour the mixture into a fondue pot and serve with the bread and grape skewers for dipping.

SAVANNAH, Ga. Jason Shaw says his rst fall harvest yielded fruit for no more than 500 bottles, just enough to sell at select tastings and to share with restaurant chefs in hopes of priming their palates for more. Friends suggested Shaw sell his limited batch for $100 a bottle, like a ne wine. After all, its been more than a century since anyone could buy olive oil from Georgia. Its a farm commodity that sounds downright foreign in a state known for peaches and peanuts, and that sense of novelty is getting Shaw plenty of attention. Were going to run out of oil very soon, said Shaw, who settled on a more modest price of $25. Weve still got to gure out who were going to give this Georgia oil to without hurting anybodys feelings. Its a good problem to have. Its been two years since Shaw, an insurance agent and freshman state lawmaker, launched an olive oil business in southwest Georgia with his banker brother and their cousin, the farmer of the family. This fall they used a hot-rodded blueberry picker to mechanically harvest their rst 20 acres in Lakeland, near the Florida state line. Experts say its the rst commercial olive crop grown in Georgia since the late 1800s. Shaw and his family partners, who already have more than $250,000 invested in the enterprise, are betting theyll see strong prots from domestically produced extra virgin olive oil in a few years once their trees bear more fruit. Certainly everyones excited about it, said Gerard Krewer, a fruit specialist who worked 29 years for the University of Georgias Cooperative Extension Service before retiring last year. But it will take some time to see how it all plays out. The U.S. produces less than 1/10th of 1 percent of the worlds olive oil, and what little domestic oil there is comes from groves far away in California, Texas and Arizona. By contrast, only

Shortly after Brown announced the cuts, which start taking effect Jan. 1, Los Angeles Unied school board voted to sue the state over its $248 million cut to home-to-school transportation funding. Superintendent John Deasy said at Tuesdays school board meeting the lawsuit will be led Wednesday. He called the loss of busing funds catastrophic and warned it would leave 35,000 students all over the district and 13,000 special needs students without busing to school. Brown and Democrats in the Legislature had hoped for a $4 billion increase in tax revenue through the current scal year, which ends June 30. The budget they passed last summer without Republican support was based on a combination of spending cuts, fee hikes and overly optimistic revenue projections. The governor said that following through on the cuts is a demonstration of Californias scal discipline. This is not the way wed like to run California. But we have to live within our means, he said in a news conference at the state Capitol. The midyear reduction authorizes districts to cut the school year by up to seven days, but they likely wont have to cut more than half a day because the funding cuts werent as severe as predicted, finance director Ana trees after their arrival in 1773. Plantations on St. Simons, Sapelo and Cumberland Islands grew olives for oil well into the 1800s until the Civil War, natural disasters and turnover in land ownership stamped out the crop. In addition, families of wealthy industrialists started buying up old plantations on Georgias barrier islands in the late 19th century. The lands were used primarily as secluded winter getaways rather than for farming. Shaw said the seeds for an olive comeback in the South were planted with him in the mid1990s, when he was a UGA student studying abroad in Italy. If you spend a few months in Europe youre going to develop a taste for olive oil, he said. So Ive always had it in the back of my head: Matosantos said. He proved that there is an adult in the room when it comes to courage to pulling the trigger, said Kevin Gordon, president of School Innovations and Advocacy, a Sacramento education lobbying rm. But he found a way to spare schools from the ultimate damage that may have occurred if all the cuts had been implemented. Patty Siegel, executive director of the California Child Care Resource & Referral Network, said thousands of working parents will be hit by a new round of child care cuts to save the state $23 million. The state announced it would reduce 7,500 slots for child care assistance on top of 32,000 slots cut last summer. When you look at that against the 187,000 fully eligible children on the waiting list for child care, you have a perfect storm for unemployment, for return to welfare, and for a lack of opportunity for children to get the best start they need, Siegel said. California currently faces a $3 billion shortfall and is expected to face a $10 billion decit for 2012-13, resulting in a $13 billion gap over the next 18 months. Earlier this year, GOP lawmakers opposed Browns proposal to place a question on taxes before voters without reforms to the public pension system, regulations and a spending cap. Having failed to broker a compromise Why cant we grow olives and produce olive oil here? The Shaw familys initial batch of oil, made from arbequina olives, has been described by those who have tasted it as mild, sweet and soft. And its won over a staunch ally in Sean Brock, a South Carolina chef whose allegiance to homegrown Southern cuisine has led to some extreme measures in his kitchen. At Husk, Brocks restaurant in Charleston, hes made it a hardline rule that the ingredients used in all dishes must be grown or produced in the South. Olive oil was our biggest challenge, Brock said. He read about the Shaws olive grove online and contacted them. That led to Brock buying more than 20 olive trees from the Georgia

with Republicans, the governor said he felt it necessary to introduce his own tax initiative, which he hopes to bring before voters next November. Brown warned of further cuts when he releases his proposed 2012-13 budget in January unless voters support higher taxes. Brown said he wants to temporarily increase taxes on the rich, starting with individuals making more than $250,000, and raise the statewide sales tax by half a cent, to 7.75 percent. The proposal would raise about $7 billion a year for ve years. Going forward, in another three weeks, we will have a number of more cuts, far more than $1 billion, Brown said. And theyll be the same kind of state services, very important to help the poor, elderly, our university students. He added, We dont have the money so weve got to cut back. Republicans accused the governor of using the mid-year cuts to his advantage as he pushes his tax proposal. They said they are willing to work with the governor on a budget that protects education. Republicans were ready to roll up our sleeves and hammer out a budget solution then, and we are still ready now, said Sen. Bob Huff, R-Diamond Bar, vice chair of the Senate budget committee. growers and planting them outside his restaurant. After the Shaws rst harvest was sent off to be pressed into olive oil in Texas, they made sure to send Brock a few gallons to try. Brock said hes used some of the Georgia olive oil as a standout ingredient at his restaurant, pairing healthy drizzles with fresh sliced tomatoes or woodred vegetables. In late October, he took a big sampling on the road to Oxford, Miss., to share with other chefs and food writers at a symposium of the Southern Foodways Alliance. After giving a talk on the history of Southern olives, Brock said, he poured the olive oil into plastic shot glasses that were passed to about 300 giddy attendees. He said the freshness of the oil gave it a richness that imported olive oil, because of its age, doesnt have. had very little or no sugar added after the inbottle fermentation. Some examples are Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut and Pol Roger Pure, which Sbrocco would pair with oysters or goat cheese or anything salty. About that tattoo: Its based on a glass of Billecart-Salmon rose, and was documented on the reality TV show LA Ink. Like Sbrocco, Osborn, the Wine.com expert, likes to drink pink, citing a Canard-Duchene Brut Rose on the website that sells for about $45 she says is really fantastic. True Champagne has a taste unlike any other, says Osborn. It brings all of these wonderful assets together, beautiful packaging, beautiful to look at. I would rather have one beautiful glass of Champagne that a few glasses of just about anything else.

Still, the automatic midyear reductions sparked outcry from advocates and invited lawsuits from school districts. The cuts include up to $100 million each to the University of California, California State University, developmental services and inhome support for seniors and the disabled. Community college fees would increase $10 per unit from $36 to $46, and reductions would be made for child care assistance, library grants and prisons, among other programs. School advocates warned that an estimated 1 million students many of them with special needs or from low-income and rural areas will be affected by the loss of home-toschool transportation funding. In addition, school districts will lose another $79.6 million under the trigger cuts. The cut to transportation is absolutely devastating, said Steve Henderson, a lobbyist for the California School Employees Association, which represents school bus drivers among other school workers. What that means is a lot of low income and rural kids will not have the ability to get to school.

three countries Spain, Italy and Greece produce nearly three-fourths of the worldwide supply of olive oil. Georgia may be best known for its peaches, peanuts and sweet Vidalia onions. But olives were long ago a homegrown commodity along the states 100-mile coast.

styles tied to smaller parcels, something that seems to be contributing to a trend of more people viewing Champagne as a good food wine, not just something you pop in celebration.

Kathy Blackwood, executive vice chancellor for the San Mateo County Community College District, explained that the good news locally is the district had already planned for the cuts.

impact upon San Mateo County schools, said County Superintendent Anne Campbell. Among the cuts for K-12 education are: Elimination of school bus service funding, a savings of $248 million; and general funds cuts of $79.6 million. The home-to-school transportation cuts are not equitable, said Campbell. Especially hard hit will be rural and geographically far-flung districts, like La Honda-Pescadero, who need to provide transportation so kids can get to school. These cuts will also have a huge impact on special education transportation. Transportation is often part of a special education students individualized educational plan meaning a school district cannot cut transportation due to state budget cuts. Schools are federally mandated to meet the requirements of a students IEP, creating a larger special education encroachment on districts, Campbell added. General cuts will mean about $11 to

In 2011, the mint produced about 290 million coins of former presidents Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes and James Gareld. George Washington was the rst presidential coin released in 2007. The surplus of the already minted coins makes them of little value to collectors, said Phil Vogt, owner of Camino Coin Company in Burlingame. They are not nearly as popular as the quarters were, Vogt said of the commemorative state quarters compared to the new dollars. Other dollar coins, such as the Susan B.

The NTSB issued 39 safety recommendations to PG&E, gas pipeline operators and federal and state regulators including identi-
CALM
The bill was sponsored in the House of Representatives by U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, who said her own experiences with the earsplitting commercials prompted her to look into the issue. It is what the average consumer has clamored for for decades, Eshoo told the Daily Journal yesterday. I didnt know anything could be done about it until I checked into it. The bill passed out of committee in 2009 and President Barack Obama signed it into law a year ago tomorrow. Eshoos office and the FCC have been working together the past year to ensure the new rules are both fair to broadcasters and consumers. Loud commercials have been near the top of
It should not be a Herculean task, OBrien said. Eshoo wants the act implemented as soon as possible. It is a very simple bill that has struck a chord with people all across the country, she said. This should bring some relief to people. The Calm Act makes cable operators responsible for the volume of national and local advertisements and television stations will be responsible for the national network and syndicated advertisements, promos and local advertisements, both on broadcasts and the signals that are delivered to cable operators. The Calm Act gives the FCC authority to issue waivers to broadcasters for hardship.

COIN
day. The remaining 18 coins scheduled for production will still be minted but made only for sale to collectors, according to the White House. The U.S. Mint had been producing about 80 million coins per deceased president every three months. It started producing the coins to honor the nations dead presidents in 2005. So far, the mint has produced 20 of the commemorative coins, four a year, and planned to mint coins of 18 other former presidents over the next ve years. The coins are not very popular, however, as more than 40 percent of them have been returned to the Federal Reserve, which now has an excess of
ing them, he said. The government could save $5.5 billion over 30 years by replacing dollar bills with dollar coins, according to the Government Accountability Ofce. But even the GAO notes that the public is not supportive of getting rid of the $1 bill. Dollar coins are more expensive to make but last much longer than the paper bills, which last an average of 40 months, according to the GAO. In these tough times, Americans are making every dollar count, and they deserve the same from their government, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner wrote in a statement. We simply shouldnt be wasting taxpayer money on money that taxpayers arent using.

PG&E
the city and NTSB have said, adding it was good to see PG&E step up to the plate. We have a long way to go, Ruane said. Ruane wasnt just talking about the rebuilding and healing of San Bruno, but also of the inspection and safety requirements nationwide which could be a positive change to come out of the situation. In September, the NTSB posted its nal 140-page report for the yearlong investigation of the Sept. 9, 2010 explo-
fying all gas transmission lines that have yet to undergo testing for safe operating pressure and installing automatic shutoff valves on existing pipelines. Just this week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that doubles the maximum ne for pipeline safety violations. It failed, however, to require automatic shut-off valves be placed in the old pipelines. It requires the placement of such safety measure only in newly constructed lines. The bill also delays many new safety rules from going into effect for two years. Senate action is expected this week.

NAIROBI, Kenya An American military drone which had been used to monitor piracy off the East African coast has crashed at an airport on the island nation of Seychelles during a routine patrol, ofcials said Tuesday. The U.S. Embassy in Mauritius said the unmanned U.S. Air Force MQ-9 Reaper was not armed and that the crash caused no injuries. The crash sparked a re that was quickly extinguished. Lina Laurence of Seychelles civilian aviation authority said the drone developed engine problems minutes into its ight and needed to land as soon as possible Tuesday morning. But due to its accelerated landing speed, the aircraft was unable to stop before the runways end, Laurence said. The embassys statement said the cause of the crash is being investigated.
LIEGE, Belgium A man armed with grenades and an assault rie attacked holiday shoppers Tuesday at a central square in the Belgian city of Liege. Five people died, including the attacker, and 122 others were wounded, ofcials said. It was not immediately clear what motivated the attack in the busy Place Saint-Lambert square, the central entry point to downtown shopping streets in the city in eastern Belgium. The attack prompted hundreds of shoppers to stampede down old city streets, eeing explosions and bullets. Interior Ministry ofcial Peter Mertens said the attack did not involve terrorism but did not explain why he thought that. Belgian ofcials identied the attacker as Nordine Amrani, 33, a Liege resident who they said had done jail time for offenses involving guns, drugs and sexual abuse. He was among the dead, but Liege Prosecutor Danielle Reynders told reporters it was unclear if he committed suicide or died by accident. He did not die at the hands of police, she said. The other dead were two teenage boy students aged 15 and 17 and a 75-year-old woman, while an 18-month-old toddler died Tuesday evening in the hospital, Liege police said. Reynders said Amrani had been summoned for police questioning on Tuesday but the reason for that was not clear. He still had a number of grenades with him when he died, she said. Ofcials said Amrani left his home in Liege with a backpack, armed with hand grenades, a revolve and an FAL assault rie. He walked alone to the central square, then got onto a platform that gave him an ideal view of the square below, which was bedecked with a huge Christmas tree and crowded with shoppers. From there, Amrani lobbed three hand

grenades toward a nearby bus shelter, which serves 1,800 buses a day, then opened re upon the crowd. The explosions sent shards of glass from the bus shelter across a wide area. I heard a loud boom, said witness Dimitri Degryse. I thought it was something on my car that was broken or something. Then a few seconds after a second boom, and I saw all the glass breaking, I saw people running, screaming. As soon as the shooting began, hundreds ed the square as well as a nearby Christmas market. Video from the scene showed people, including a large group of children, rampaging through the city center to seek cover, some still carrying shopping bags. As police hunted for possible accomplices, residents were ordered to stay in their homes or seek shelter in shops or public buildings. As sirens howled and a police chopper roared overhead, a medical post was set up in the nearby courtyard of the Prince Bishops courthouse. Dozens of emergency vehicles took victims away for treatment. Police closed off the area but found no accomplices and calm returned a few hours after. The Place Saint-Lambert and the nearby Place du Marche host Lieges annual Christmas market, which consists of 200 tiny shops and attracts some 1.5 million visitors a year.
SEATTLE Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and aerospace pioneer Burt Rutan are building the worlds biggest plane to help launch cargo and astronauts into space, in the latest of several ventures fueled by technology tycoons clamoring to write Americas next chapter in spaceight. Their plans, unveiled Tuesday, call for a twin-fuselage aircraft with wings longer than a football eld to carry a rocket high into the atmosphere and drop it, avoiding the need for a launch pad and the expense of additional rocket fuel. Allen, who teamed up with Rutan in 2004 to send the first privately financed, manned spacecraft into space, said his new project would keep America at the forefront of space exploration and give a new generation of children something to dream about.
