U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo
Alto, urged the Federal
Communications Commission yes-
terday to keep on track with its
mission to implement an auction of
wireless spectrum.
A successful auction, planned for
June 2014, will provide more spec-
trum for wireless companies and
their customers
and has the
potential to pro-
duce more jobs
and free up more
spectrum at a
time in which
demand for wire-
less broadband
continues to
soar, Eshoo said
in a Communications and
Technology subcommittee meeting
yesterday in Washington, D.C.
The auction could raise billions
for the U.S. Treasury but Democrats
and Republicans differ on how it
should be implemented.
The GOP has concerns over
guard bands that protect wireless
and broadcast television signals
from interference. Republicans have
said the guard bands were too broad
and limit revenue but Democrats
have concerns it would lead to less
unlicensed spectrum.
Eshoo sent a letter to FCC Chair
Julius Genachowski Tuesday to
prod the commission to protect pub-
lic access to unlicensed spectrum.
When the Middle Class Tax Relief
and Job Creation Act of 2012 was
passed earlier this year, it preserved,
protected and enhanced access to
unlicensed spectrum, according to
the letter.
As the FCC considers proposed
rules implementing an incentive
auction of broadcast television
spectrum, the agency has a respon-
sibility to adhere to the statute
recognizing the enormous econom-
ic value of both licensed and unli-
censed spectrum in the television
band, Eshoo wrote in the letter to
Genachowski.

The Bug
By Ashley Hansen
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
The day grew hotter and hotter, Lauren Savage
read from the Penguin and the Pinecone, a chil-
drens book by Salina Yoon to an attentive group of
avid readers, both young and old. Can you fan your-
self like its very hot?
Savage is co-owner of The Reading Bug, a not-so-
typical bookstore on Laurel Street in San Carlos.
The Bug doesnt just sell books. It also offers a
wide variety of parent-child classes in an effort to
interact with the community.
I really like her, Hisako Kanamaru of Foster City,
and mom to 13-month old Leo, said of Savage.
Shes a lot of fun.
Kanamaru brought his son to their rst story time
at the Reading Bug last week. Hes really interested
in the music because he loves to dance, Kanamaru
said.
The Reading Bug opened its doors in September of
2009 at half its current size. Its size doubled in July
2011.
My mother-in-law had asked me when my rst
daughter was born if I wanted to open a childrens
bookstore with her, Savage said. And I had always
wanted to open a retail store. I didnt know much
about childrens books at the time but I was starting
to learn because my daughter was about six months
old. I wanted a place where my kids could grow up
and what better place than a bookstore?
There is no other toy store in this area so we put a
little bit of that in here. We want to offer the commu-
nity anything that they want. We want to be the us
people.
The Reading Bug opened its doors with the inten-
tion of running birthday parties and has since mor-
phed into doing classes, book fairs and workshops.
The goal of The Bug is to offer a mix of free events
with those that cost a minimal amount to get people
in the door and working together.
They just got bigger and better and we have
incredible parties in here now and great girls to run
them, Savage said.
Savage attributes her businesssuccess to thinking
outside the box. The Reading Bug offers classes at

Residents near a soon-to-be reopened Burlingame elementary
school will consider a legal challenge for the trafc plan approved
by the Board of Trustees Tuesday.
Growing enrollment resulted in the purchase of the previously-
closed Hoover Elementary School in 2010. Since then, the district
has been working on plans to renovate the building to meet current
standards. The plan is to open Hoover at 2220 Summit Drive for the
2014-15 school year. On Tuesday, the board approved the mitigat-
ed negative declaration for the project which included a trafc plan.
Many residents who live near the school, however, felt the approval
should be postponed to allow for more discussion and possible
changes to the trafc plan. As a result of Tuesdays decision, resi-
dents have planned to meet with a California Environmental
Quality Act attorney to challenge the decision.
Superintendent Maggie MacIsaac said the district met the
requirements under CEQA. The topic has been discussed over two

Union forces led by Maj. Gen. Ambrose
Burnside launched futile attacks against
entrenched Confederate soldiers during
the Civil War Battle of Fredericksburg;
the soundly defeated Northern troops
withdrew two days later. (It was during
this battle that Confederate Gen. Robert
E. Lee is said to have remarked: It is
well that war is so terrible, or we should
grow too fond of it.)

the practice is against it.

Indian sitar virtuoso
Ravi Shankar dies at 92
NEW YORK The kids at rst didnt
seem to know how to respond as Ravi
Shankar began his four-hour set on the
nal afternoon of the Monterey Pop
Festival, in the fabled summer of 1967.
As captured in D.A. Pennebakers docu-
mentary, some nodded along and smiled;
Jimi Hendrix listened carefully. Others
dozed, or chatted. A few hippies danced
wildly, as if they couldnt tell or didnt
care about the difference between
Shankars raga and a Jefferson Airplane
jam. But as the performance accelerated
from isolated strains to a pace that could
exhaust the speediest rock star, eyes
opened, minds expanded and Shankar and
his fellow musicians left to a long standing
ovation.
Labeled the godfather of world music
by Beatle George Harrison, Shankar
helped millions of Westerners classical,
jazz and rock lovers discover the cen-
turies-old traditions of Indian music. From
Harrison to John Coltrane, from Yehudi
Menuhin to Andre Previn, he bridged,
sometimes unsteadily, the musical gap
between East and West, between what
Shankar noted as the classical Easts
emphasis on melody and rhythm and the
classical Wests foundation of harmony,
counterpoint, chords, modulation and
other basics.
Shankar died Tuesday at age 92. A state-
ment on his website said he died in San
Diego, near his Southern California home
with his wife and a daughter by his side.
The musicians foundation issued a state-
ment saying that he had suffered upper
respiratory and heart problems and had
undergone heart-valve replacement sur-
gery last week.
Gimmicky date a boost
for lovelorn Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS Las Vegas, land of
the quickie wedding, is in the midst of a
serious love recession, and chapels in
the city accustomed to playing the num-
bers were not about to let the latest
money-making opportunity
Wednesdays auspicious 12/12/12 date
pass without a marketing push.
They worked for months to turn the
day into a major payout, luring thou-
sands of lovebirds with the promise of a
wedding license bearing the centurys
last string of identical numbers.
Sin Citys share of the weddings busi-
ness has fallen by a third since 2004, as
destinations from New Orleans to New
York have gotten into the elopement
game.
From a marketing perspective, its a
very big deal. Numbers are associated
with Vegas, said Ann Parsons, market-
ing director for Vegas Weddings, which
runs four of the more than 60 chapels in
town. Unfortunately, its the last date
like that well have.
From the rundown courthouse area to
the ritzy Strip, chapel programmers
jumped at the chance to sell 12-12-12
packages at three times the normal price
for a weekday ceremony during the
wedding offseason, from November to
April.
At the high-end Bellagio, 12 couples
paid $5,000 apiece on Wednesday to say
their I dos near the casinos famous
fountains. The 12-12-12 packages,
which included an hour of chapel time, a
bag of white rose petals and a buffet for
two, had sold out weeks before, MGM
Resorts spokeswoman Yvette Monet
said.
In the absence of any obvious symbol-
ism like 7-7-07, which gamblers will
recognize as the numbers for a lucky slot
machine winner promoters turned to
Chinese numerology.

Venture capitalist Tim Draper unveiled plans
for the former Collective Antiques building in
downtown San Mateo last night that will include
pop-up retail and space for the public to pursue
their entrepreneurial dreams.
Tentative plans include turning the old
antiques building on Third Avenue into the
Collective Entrepreneurs Club, which will be a
exible co-working space that offers collabora-
tive peer-to-peer workspaces for entrepreneurs
on daily, weekly, monthly and annual member-
ship terms.
The Collective will also feature a retail pop-up
store that can be rented on a short-term basis and
a large multi-purpose event space that can be
rented out on evenings and weekends for events
such as art shows, jazz concerts, corporate
events and meetings when not in use by staff or
students with the Draper University of Heroes
located at the former Benjamin Franklin Hotel at
44 E. Third Ave.
We want the whole thing to feel like a cam-
pus, Draper said.
The university has also extended the lease for
the Astaria restaurant on the ground oor of the
hotel and has plans to occupy the spot for at least
eight years.
Whether you are for it or not, I sat in your
shoes, said Astarias Alicia Petrakis.
The property has had ve landlords in nine
years, she said.
It is a magical opportunity not just for stu-
dents but the entire community, Petrakis said
after working with the university the past few
months. Astaria provided breakfast for the uni-
versitys students over the summer.
The Downtown San Mateo Association host-
ed a forum at the Main Library last night for
curious residents to hear about the project.
Most had questions about parking and how
the university will prevent its students and facul-
ty from parking in the nearby Baywood neigh-
borhood.
Draper has already committed $15,000 to start
a trafc management association downtown to
monitor how parking can be better managed in
the area.
No students will be allowed to bring a car to
the school, said Carol Lo, the universitys chief
operating ofcer.
Some in attendance at the workshop, howev-
er, asked if regular people off the street will be
able to use the Collective space.
The answer was a denite yes.
The university launched this summer with its
rst pilot program and plans a second round of
courses early next year.
Draper is the founder of the venture capital
rm Draper Fisher Jurvetson and funded
Hotmail, Skype and Baidu in their infancies.
Draper is still seeking city approvals for the
school and will come before the citys Planning
Commission Jan. 8.

San Mateo County nonprots hoping to pro-
vide happy holidays for local boys and girls are
running short on toy donations this year.
Both Samaritan House and CALL Primrose
are reporting low toy donations this holiday sea-
son and are asking the public to help.
Each year, Samaritan Houses holiday pro-
gram reaches nearly 5,000 low-income commu-
nity members, over half of whom are children,
said Samaritan House Communications
Specialist Marcy Spiker.
Samaritan House urgently needs toy donations
for its holiday distribution. The public can help
by bringing new, unwrapped toys to the
Samaritan Houses third oor administrative
ofce, located at 4031 Pacic Blvd. in San
Mateo. Donations will be accepted from 9 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. weekdays through the end of
December. For more information call 341-4081.
Those who need ideas can check the Samaritan
House wishlist page on Amazon,
http://bit.ly/Holiday2012Toy, for suggested toys.
Burlingame-based CALL Primrose estimates
it will have about 350 children to provide gifts for
this holiday season. Executive Director Mary
Watt said the nonprot is currently extremely low
on toy donations. It is in need of new, unwrapped
toys for children ages 2 to 12. Donations can be
brought to the CALL Primrose Center, 139
Primrose Road in Burlingame through Dec. 17.

Interviews will be held next week
to possibly ll a vacancy on the
South San Francisco City Council
but it is still undetermined if there
will be an appointment, and for how
long.
Nine people have applied thus far
to ll the seat left vacant when
Kevin Mullin was elected to the
Assembly. Mullin still has nearly
three years in his term. The council
decided to accept applications but
has yet to nalize if it will appoint
and, if so, for how long. But last
night, the council did decide to
interview candidates Wednesday,
Dec. 19 and Saturday, Dec. 22 at
City Hall. The earliest the council
could make a decision about
appointing a replacement or calling
an election will be during the
Saturday, Dec. 22 meeting.
Despite the lack of clear direc-
tion, applications have been submit-
ted from Rhonda Ceccato, San
Mateo County Board of Education
trustee; Parks and Recreation
Commissioner Mark Nagales;
South San Francisco planning com-
missioners Pradeep Gupta, John
Prouty, Rick Ochsenhirt and Carlos
Martin; John Poletti; Nakshin Shah
and Arnel Junio, according to the
City Clerks Ofce. If the council
decides to appoint, candidates have
until 5 p.m. today to apply.
There are a few options before the
council: Appoint someone to ll the
remainder of the term, through
2015; appoint someone until the
next regular election in 2013; or
hold a special election. If the coun-
cil decides to appoint, special meet-
ings for interviews and an appoint-
ment will be scheduled.
South City isnt often faced with a
vacancy on the council. Councilman
Rich Garbarino first joined the
council through an appointment in
2002 after Gene Mullin, then
mayor, was elected to the Assembly.
Garbarino was the most recent
appointment to the City Council.
Also on Wednesday, the council
appointed Deputy City Treasurer
Frank Risso as the new city treasur-
er. Richard Battaglia, who had
served as the city treasurer since
November 2003, died Nov. 25.
Risso will serve the rest of
Battaglias term through November
2013.

Which districts children living in 70 homes on
a nine-acre parcel once used for a San Bruno
elementary school should attend is still up for
debate as two boards take on residents request
for a change tonight.
In August, home owners from 58 of the 70
homes in the disputed area in San Bruno
known as the Merimont subdivision submit-
ted a petition to County Superintendent Anne
Campbell requesting the boundaries be changed
from the South San Francisco Unied School
District. Along with the fact that the land previ-
ously housed a school in the San Bruno Park
Elementary School District, the petitioners also
note most of the neighborhood children attend
school in San Bruno. As such, they would like to
continue with friends through high school into
the San Mateo Union High School District,
according to the petition.
South San Francisco ofcials oppose the
switch. Tonight, both the San Bruno Park
Elementary and San Mateo Union High school
district boards are set to discuss the petition. San
Bruno Superintendent David Hutt said the dis-
tricts stance is unchanged it supports the
switch. Kirk Black, assistant superintendent of
human resources and administrative services for
San Mateo Union, said the board will take a vote
in January.
San Bruno students attended Carl Sandburg
Elementary on Evergreen Drive in San Bruno
until it was closed in 1978. In 2005, the land was
sold and, shortly after, houses were built which
brought families to the area. While the land is
located within San Bruno city limits, it is also
located within the South San Francisco Unied
School District boundary. Both San Bruno Park
Elementary and South San Francisco Unied
school districts saw the land as being within its
boundaries. In 2010, both sides disagreed on the
topic so it remained with South San Francisco.
Before a decision can be made, each district
board of trustees will vote on the petition. Two
public hearings were held through the County
Ofce of Education, said Nancy Magee, county
Ofce of Education spokeswoman. If no one
objects, the San Mateo County Committee on
School District Organization can make a deci-
sion. An objection could spark a vote by proper-
ty owners. The committee will not meet again
until Feb. 5 and has until March to take action,
said Magee.
Both the South San Francisco and San Bruno
districts wanted the parcel when discussing the
boundary lines in 2010. School boundaries were
drawn prior to city limits. When Carl Sandburg
Elementary was built, the land was in unincor-
porated San Mateo County. In 1977, the Local
Agency Formation Commission annexed the
land to the city of San Bruno.
Its not only about boundaries. The boundaries
dictate where property revenue is funneled.
In 2005, the San Bruno district sold the site for
$30.5 million which became the land on which
70 single-family homes were built. In 2007,
property tax revenue from the site began to be
collected and forwarded to the South San
Francisco Unied School District. If the school
district boundaries are changed, future tax rev-
enue would go to San Bruno Park Elementary
and San Mateo Union High school districts
instead.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Five people linked to the hit on a rival gang-
member ordered from a prison inmate pleaded
not guilty to trying to kill a San Bruno police
ofcer on their way to carry out the execution
order.
Daniel Garcia, 24, Jordy Diego Bernal, 19,
and Michael Apolinario, 26, Andrew Delgadillo,
23, and Mickie Lei Gardiner, 23, each appeared
in San Mateo County Superior Court yesterday
for the second time since a criminal grand jury
indicted them on charges of attempted murder
on a peace ofcer, conspiracy to commit murder,
being a gangmember and assault with a deadly
weapon. Garcia is also charged with car theft,
recklessly evading a police ofcer and personal-
ly discharging a rearm. Each pleaded not guilty
to all charges and set a May 13 jury trial.
The prison inmate who allegedly ordered the
hit has not been charged.
Delgadillo and Gardiner were not involved in
the actual attempted murder May 26 but are sim-
ilarly charged and face a potential life sentence
because they acted as the conduit between the
prison inmate and the others, according to pros-
ecutors.
The three others, all documented gangmem-
bers, were intercepted after San Bruno police
responded to calls of suspicious individuals near
Belle Air Elementary School just before 2 a.m.
and an ofcer gave chase to the vehicle after it
went through a stop sign. Garcia allegedly
pulled a gun and red two rounds which the of-
cer returned although neither were hit. Police
found Apolinario and Bernal hiding nearby and
arrested Garcia later that evening. The next day,
a 9-year-old boy playing with his sister in the
backyard found the gun and asked his mother if
he could play with it.
All defendants remain in custody without bail.
They return to court April 15 for a pretrial con-
ference.

The electrication of Caltrain is featured in a
new national report from the Sierra Club as one
of the best transportation projects in the United
States.
The report identies how the nations best and
worst transportation projects will move the
United States beyond oil.
For each of the 50 states, Sierra Club identies
a best and worst project. For California,
Caltrain modernization, particularly electrica-
tion, and a San Diego freeway project were the
two projects picked as the best in a report called
Smart Choices, Less Trafc: 50 Best and Worst
Transportation Projects in the United States.
Ofcials with the Loma Prieta chapter of the
Sierra Club, in Palo Alto, said Caltrain electri-
cation is an example of the kind of projects
California needs to move beyond oil.
Electrication will cut the railroads operat-
ing costs in half by avoiding the purchase of 4.5
million gallons of diesel fuel a year and replac-
ing it with far cheaper and cleaner electricity,
Gladwyn dSouza, Belmont planning commis-
sioner and transportation committee chair for
the Loma Prieta chapter, wrote in a statement.
It is exactly the kind of infrastructure we need
as part of a 21st century transportation system
that increases our transportation choices and
increases our housing options by enabling tran-
sit-oriented development.
Megan Fluke Medeiros, the Loma Prieta
chapters conservation manager, is a daily
Caltrain commuter and praises the systems
modernization effort.
I love Caltrain because it gives me time to
respond to emails, a space for my bicycle
enabling me to get much-needed exercise and
the freedom of not owning the car I dont want.
With more frequent and faster service, were
going to have less trafc on our roads, more
active lifestyles, more disposable income and
happier people all around, Fluke Medeiros
wrote in a statement.
Some of the best projects on the list include
the installation of a 4-mile electric streetcar sys-
tem in Tucson, Ariz.; a 61.5-mile commuter-rail
service in Orlando, Fla.; The Midwest High
Speed Rail project between Chicago, St. Louis
and Detroit; and a new streetcar system in New
Orleans.
Some of the worst projects on the list include
a 100-mile gravel road proposed for untouched
wild Arctic landscapes in Alaska that crosses six
rivers; the South Mountain Freeway project in
Arizona that will cost $2 billion to build; and the
Jefferson Parkway project that would build a
section of beltway surrounding Denver, Colo.
The Sierra Club is the nations oldest and
largest grassroots environmental organization
with 1.4 million members with chapters in all 50
states.

A former apartment manager for a Daly City complex operated by
Shelter Network is suing the homeless services nonprot after her
family, who lived in one unit, allegedly fell ill from carbon monox-
ide poisoning due to a faulty heater.
Vivian Hernandez also claims she was red after ling a workers
compensation complaint about the incident because the organization
feared a future lawsuit about the exposure and regularly discriminat-
ed against Hispanic and Latino employees.
The suit by Hernandez, her husband, children and cousin names
Shelter Network and InnVision which merged earlier this year.
Shelter Network declined to comment on the suit because it has
not yet been served, said spokeswoman Maria Duzon.
Hernandez was resident manager for roughly 20 years of a 20-unit
apartment complex at 50 Hillcrest Drive in Daly City owned and
operated by Shelter Network. She lived on-site with her husband and
two daughters throughout those years, including seven years in the
unit where she claims the family was poisoned. The only source of
heat was a gas-red wall furnace in the living room which the suit
claims was never replaced, cleaned or repaired prior to them moving
in or during their residence. The suit claims the same type of heating
unit is used in the majority of the apartments in the complex.
On Feb. 18, 2011, a cousin staying overnight reportedly developed
a severe headache and extreme nausea. The next morning,
Hernandez and her two children complained of similar symptoms.
The cousin suspected carbon monoxide poisoning and told
Hernandez to contact Pacic Gas and Electric which tested the
heater that day and found very high levels. The PG&E worker called
911 for the family and they were rushed to Stanford Hospitals emer-
gency room. During the ambulance ride, Hernandez called the
cousin to urge her to seek medical care and she went to a hospital
near her Concord home. PG&E replaced the entire heater unit that
day
The family continues suffering physical symptoms like blurred
vision, headaches and memory loss because of the exposure, the suit
claims. The youngest daughter whose room was closest to the heater
in the living room experiences the most chronic symptoms, includ-
ing impaired cognitive functioning, the suit states.
Shelter Network knew the wall surface was hazardous and unsafe
because of the lack of inspection and maintenance, the suit claims.
However, it is the regular practice of [Shelter Network] to inten-
tionally disregard safety measures and inspections concerning wall
heaters ... in an effort to keep administrative costs low, the suit
states.
The unit had no carbon monoxide detector inside. However,
beginning Jan. 1 state law will mandate that all complexes place
detectors inside each apartment.
Hernandezs medical bills were paid through workers compensa-
tion but not that of her family and she was denied long-term benets

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Its the scenario thats
been spooking employers and investors and
slowing the U.S. economy:
Congress and the White House fail to strike
a budget deal by New Years Day. Their stale-
mate triggers sharp tax increases and spend-
ing cuts. Those measures shrink consumer
spending, stifle job growth, topple stock
prices and push the economy off a scal
cliff and into recession.
The reality may be a lot less bleak.
Even if New Years passed with no deal, few
businesses or consumers would likely panic
as long as an agreement seemed likely soon.
The tax increases and spending cuts could be
retroactively repealed after Jan. 1.
And the impact of the tax increases would
be felt only gradually. Most people would
receive slightly less money in each paycheck.
The simple conclusion that going off the
cliff necessarily means a recession next year
is wrong, says Lewis Alexander, an econo-
mist at Nomura Securities. It will ultimately
depend on how long the policies are in place.
Its always possible that negotiations
between President Barack Obama and
Republican congressional leaders will col-
lapse in acrimony. The prospect of permanent
tax increases and spending cuts could cause
many consumers and businesses to delay
spending, hiring or expanding.
But most economists expect a deal, if not by
New Years then soon after. Businesses and
consumers will likely remain calm as long as
negotiators seem to be moving toward an
agreement.
The atmosphere is more important than
whether the talks spill into next year, said
Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital
Economics.
Still, if budget talks dragged on, many busi-
nesses might put off investment or hiring.
Thats why most economists say it would be
crucial to reach a deal within roughly the rst
two months of 2013.
Already, uncertainty is causing some busi-
nesses to delay spending. Consider Apex Tool
and Manufacturing, a 10-person shop in
Evansville, Indiana, that makes parts for the
automotive glass, telecom equipment and
plastics industries.

SACRAMENTO California Gov. Jerry
Brown is being treated with radiation for early
stage prostate cancer, his ofce announced
Wednesday.
The 74-year-old Brown is receiving a short
course of conventional radiotherapy for local-
ized prostate cancer, the statement said.
Browns prognosis is excellent, and there are
not expected to be any sig-
nicant side effects,
University of California,
San Francisco oncologist
Eric Small said in the state-
ment. Small is Browns
oncologist.
The radiation treatment
will be completed the week
of Jan. 7 nearly four
weeks from now and
Brown will continue to
work a full schedule, the statement said.
Browns spokesman Gil Duran declined fur-
ther comment.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in
men. More than 241,000 new cases are expected
to be diagnosed in the United States this year.
More than 90 percent are early stage, and nearly
all men with such diagnoses survive at least ve
years.
Localized prostate cancer means the tumor is
still contained within the prostate, said Dr. Mark
Litwin, chairman of the UCLA Department of
Urology, who is not involved in Browns care.
Of course, thats what you want because you
can treat it much more effectively.
It is the governors second bout with cancer. He
underwent minor surgery in spring 2011 to
remove a cancerous growth on his nose. He was
put under local anesthetic and doctors removed
basal cell carcinoma, a common, slow-growing
form of skin cancer, from the right side of his
nose.
For that cancer, Brown underwent micrograph-
ic surgery, in which a doctor can tell even before
the wound is closed that all the cancerous cells
have been removed.
Typical radiation treatment for an early stage
prostate cancer is ve days a week for four to ve
weeks, said Dr. Ralph de Vere White, urological
oncologist and director of the University of
California, Davis comprehensive cancer center in
Sacramento.

State Allocation Board grants
schools millions for construction
The State Allocation Board disbursed $383.8
million Tuesday for new school construction and
modernization projects across 110 school dis-
tricts, county ofces of education and charter
schools statewide, State Superintendent Tom
Torlakson announced through a press release.
Among the allocations were: $1.59 million for
the Burlingame Elementary School District and
$126,000 for the Jefferson Elementary School
District.
Our schools play a key role in Californias
future, said Torlakson. These new funds pro-
vide vital assistance to local districts in the con-
struction and rebuilding of schools, creating jobs
in the community, and providing better opportu-
nities to students for a successful future.
The SAB meets monthly to allocate state
matching funds for the construction of new
classrooms and the modernization of existing
schools and to consider policies and regulations
regarding SAB programs. The funds allocated
by the SAB are from voter-approved general
obligation bonds that cannot be used for school
operational expenses.
Caltrain plans drill Saturday
Caltrain will conduct an emergency prepared-
ness drill on the train tracks behind Costco in
Redwood City Saturday, Dec. 15. The exercise
will be held from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on a rail spur
that is not used for regular train service.
This annual drill supports Caltrains emer-
gency preparedness efforts by providing an
opportunity to train with local public safety
agencies on how to respond to a rail emergency.
There will be no disruption to trafc or train
service during the drill. Neighbors and residents
have been notied in advance. Onlookers will
not be allowed into the area where the drill is
being conducted, according to Caltrain.
Suspect arrested after
early-morning burglary
A 24-year-old man was arrested early
Wednesday morning for commercial burglary
after a brief foot pursuit in South San Francisco,
according to police.
At 2:09 a.m., South San Francisco police
received an alarm call from a closed check cash-
ing business on the 600 block of El Camino
Real. Police arrived to nd the front glass door
had been kicked in, according to police. Ofcers
saw a man running in the area of the business.
Othman Elayyan was arrested after a short
chase. He had stolen currency and other items
belonging to the business on him at the time.
County names new IT chief
The chief information ofcer for San
Francisco is moving slightly south, taking up the
same role for San Mateo County beginning next
month.
Jon Walton will be both the new CIO and
director of the Information Services
Department, according to an announcement yes-
terday by County Manager John Maltbie and
Deputy County Manager Reyna Farrales.
We are excited to have Jon join San Mateo
County as we design a new model for IT service
delivery one that provides exibility and
adapts well to change, Maltbie said in a pre-
pared statement.
Maltbie is currently working on restructuring
the county organization to make the workforce
more agile and service delivery more sustain-
able.
Farrales, who has served as CIO since May,
credits Waltons customer service excellence
and wealth of experience as benets for San
Mateo County.
Walton is currently the CIO and director of
technology for the city and county of San
Francisco. During his tenure, San Francisco has
won many awards for its services, nished a
ve-year IT plan and created citywide IT train-
ing. Prior to that position, Walton worked in the
private sector as a technology consultant and
served as deputy CIO for the city of San Jose.

Cougar cubs shot
Editor,
I want to convey, along with thousands
of others apparently, my outrage at De-
partment of Fish and Game shooting the
two cougar kittens hiding under a porch
in Half Moon Bay.
I know the fearless Fish and Game war-
den felt his life was threatened by these
few month old cubs and thats apparently
because we havent hired the right people
for the job. These folks work for us, not
the other way around and, as a voter, Im
beginning to think we dont need Fish
and Game if this is the way they will act
in this situation. Just disgusting.

Cost of diesel fuel answers
Editor,
This is in response to Harry
Roussards letter complaining about the
cost of diesel fuel on Friday, Dec. 7.
When I was young, (which I
longer am) folks were using diesel
for the economy that it offered. Of
course the long haulers and the big
tractors were able to take advantage
of the of the low RPM and high
torque ratio of the diesel engine and
move tremendous loads with them
economically.
Today, the diesel is no longer an eco-
nomical alternative fuel for a myriad of
reasons I am sure. Thanks to good old
Yankee Ingenuity, these days, American
businesses, local governments and indi-
viduals are working rapidly to convert
the American eet to natural gas burn-
ers.
Natural gas burns cleaner and more
powerfully than gasoline and we have
plenty of it made right here in
America. The advantages can be list-
ed out ad infinitem, the largest being
price.
At this point, the emphasis is on long
haulers, buses and medium truck eets,
and converting them to burn natural gas.
As the fueling stations are built out and
onboard fuel tanks become more ef-
cient, most cars and trucks will run on
natural gas.
This will keep us good for the next 40,
50, maybe 100 years until electric cars
and trucks are more standard.
Thomas Edison wanted us to have
electric cars way back when, here we
are 100 years later trying to gure it out.
Diesel is a fuel of the past, my new vehi-
cles will be natural gas fueled the
new normal.

N
ew York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania are going, hat
in hand, to the federal gov-
ernment for close to $100 billion to
recover from Hurricane Sandy.
However, only about 10 percent is for
building new protections against
future such events.
The rest is for
repairs and restora-
tion of the homes
and businesses back
to where they were
in their current vul-
nerable situation.
Does this make
sense to us?
San Mateo
County already has more property at
risk from sea level rise than any other
county in the entire state. According
to the Pacific Institutes report, The
impacts of sea level rise of the
California coast, we will face as
much as $26 billion in property dam-
age; more than a quarter of the total
damages expected in all of California
from sea level rise. This amounts to
more than $35,000 per county resi-
dent. And we should remember,
economists projected Sandys cost
would be in the millions ... but it was
in the billions.
And these projections do not
account for the personal tragedies,
financial devastation, business losses
and let us not forget loss of
lives for the 110,000 San Mateo
County residents who are at risk from
inundation.
Why is San Mateo County so much
at risk? Quite simply, we have been
filling and developing into the Bay,
paving over our natural shoreline
buffers that used to protect our com-
munities. The wetlands that once sep-
arated our cities from the Bay, absorb-
ing water and reducing the waves,
have largely been filled. In their place
stand private homes, offices, airports,
waste treatment plants and more.
There is a striking parallel to New
Jersey, where residents have recently
experienced the unfortunate conse-
quences of the loss of their natural
buffers. Many of the barrier islands
and beaches that once protected the
New Jersey coast now have buildings
and roads where beaches and marshes
once stood. Due to Hurricane Sandy,
many of those houses are now flood-
ed, countless roads are under water
and the Jersey Shores iconic roller-
coaster sits broken in the sea.
For us in the Bay Area, hurricanes
may not be at the forefront of our
mind, but sea level rise certainly
should be. In addition, earthquake
action under the Bay could cause
large waves, which would inundate
shorelines.
The Bay Conservation and
Development Commissions projected
inundation zone for San Mateo
County includes the entire city of
Foster City, almost all of Redwood
Shores, the San Francisco
International Airport, Highway 101,
both the San Mateo-Hayward and
Dumbarton bridges and numerous
neighborhoods and critical infrastruc-
ture up and down the county.
Recently, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers started using new sea level
rise data based on more current
research findings that shows sea levels
rising faster than earlier projected.
Yet, despite the enormous cost tax-
payers are already saddled with given
San Mateo Countys existing vulnera-
bility, developers continue to propose
new projects that will put even more
residents at risk.
The most audacious is the current
push by Cargill and developer DMB
to develop the below-sea-level salt
ponds in Redwood City with thou-
sands of new homes. Not only would
this unnecessarily put tens of thou-
sands more people at risk, below sea
level, but it will also cost us taxpayers
billions when we have to bail them
out.
Its time to get smarter about where
we build. We need to restore the edge
of the Bay to natural wetlands to
buffer our communities from sea level
rise and waves, rather than constantly
filling it in for new development.
Let Hurricane Sandy be our last
wake-up call.

A wake-up call for San Mateo County
County officials
bank on Maltbie
N
obody would accuse the county manager posi-
tion of being a dead-end job. Job holders usual-
ly come packing significant experience in gov-
ernment organization and budgeting the kind of
resume for which a Board of Supervisors is willing to
shell out a substantial amount of dough. Local supervi-
sors did just that on Tuesday to keep County Manager
John Maltbie at the wheel permanently another four years
by approving a sweet $300,000 annual salary not to men-
tion benefits that drew him out of retirement and back
into the arms of public employ-
ment.
The vote is not surprising
because the board would proba-
bly have offered up their first-
born children and a basket full
of puppies to keep Maltbie
around. Maltbie spent approxi-
mately 20 years in the position
before his 2008 retirement
which only came after a few
other false starts to riding off
into the proverbial sunset. The
board then named his hand-
picked successor David Boesch
to the spot but that relationship seemed more fitting of
Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf? than Love Story.
Boesch finally took his walking papers last fall and
Maltbie stepped back in for the interim. Harmony was
restored. The area between the supervisors and the coun-
ty managers office was no longer referred to (rumor has
it) as the Gaza Strip. The budget got some solid swipes.
Measure A and a car parking tax were passed by voters in
two elections. Everybody took a deep sigh of relief.
Its hard to imagine the board ever letting Maltbie go.
This means the supervisors have four years to devise a
solution to their quandary in other words, how to keep
Maltbie alive and willing to work for the county forever.
Perhaps they should slip in a caveat to this new con-
tract mandating a steady diet of vitamin supplements and
oxygen baths. Regular rest and relaxation from the gruel-
ing task of laying off employees is also key. Good thing
he gets 45 days vacation per year.
On the flip side, of course, Henry Allingham, who was
briefly the worlds oldest man praised the benefits of cig-
arettes, whiskey, wild women and a sense of humor.
Too bad the county instituted a wellness plan for its
workers and particularly its vending machines.
One movement, though, swears by caloric restrictions
as a way to promote longer living. Keep Maltbie from the
vending machines heck, keep him away from any
food! No more work lunches with other department heads
for him.
But what if, God forbid, Maltbie does someday go off
to manage that great big heavenly government body in
the sky? What then?
The county could prop him up in a box for the public
much like Lenin or Stalin. Maybe just his presence will
provide the stability and reassurance the county wanted
when they asked him to stay on.
Dont scoff; other governments have held on to their
beloved. Remember Eva Peron? Those Argentinians
might have been on to something even though it did take
decades for her well-preserved body to come to rest at
home.
Or, they could lie to and claim Maltbie is still alive just
rarely seen. Think Elvis. The county can issue press
releases about his elusive sightings in remote Michigan
malls or exotic locales. Callers to his office will receive
the sympathetic message, Oh, you just missed him.
Cryogenics a la Ted Williams is a novel approach
although freezing Maltbies head until a medical solution
to whatever ailment brought his end is probably not the
most fiscally sound approach to immediately ending the
structural deficit and keeping other economic wolves at
bay. County leaders want Maltbie forever and consistent-
ly, not packed away for safe keeping in the future.
But the hard truth is someday Maltbie will be gone.
Hopefully for him, this only signifies he finally gives in
to retirement permanently but, for the county brass, it
means they will finally have to break down and fill
some pretty big shoes whether they like it or not. Until
then, lets hope Maltbie is everything they wanted
because in four years the county is likely going to be
faced with somebody else holding the financial reins.
Maltbie might be the best fit for San Mateo County but
immortality? Thats probably something even he cant
manage.

NEW YORK Stocks ended the day
little changed Wednesday after a rally
prompted by the Federal Reserves latest
economic stimulus program zzled out.
The Dow Jones industrial average
closed down 2.99 points at 13,245.45. It
had risen as much as 81 points after the
Fed said earlier in the day that it would
extend a bond-buying plan and keep
interest extremely low.
The S&P nished 0.64 points higher at
1,428.48. The Nasdaq composite was
down 8.49 points at 3,013.81.
The Fed said it will keep spending $85
billion a month on bond purchases to
drive down long-term borrowing costs
and stimulate economic growth. Of that
amount it will spend $45 billion on long-
term Treasury purchases to replace a
previous bond-buying program of equal
size.
The central bank also said it would
keep its key short-term interest rate near
zero at least until the unemployment rate
drops below 6.5 percent or ination rises
to 2.5 percent. Previously, it had said
that it expects to keep the rate low until
at least mid-2015.
The enthusiasm over the Feds
announcement, which came at 12:30
p.m. EST, was short-lived. It briey
drew investors attention away from the
tense, high-level budget talks taking
place in Washington. Also, the amount
of bond buying the central bank said it
would undertake was in line with what
investors were expecting, Joseph
Tanious, a Global Market Strategist with
J.P. Morgan Funds, said.
I dont think youre seeing markets
react hugely to the Fed, Tanious said.
Clearly what is driving markets right
now is the scal policy. Whats holding
markets hostage....is uncertainty around
the scal cliff.
In Washington, lawmakers were still
trying to reach a deal to avoid the scal
cliff, a series of sharp tax increases and
spending cuts that will hit the economy
in January if Congress and President
Barack Obama are unable to thrash out
an agreement to reduce the U.S. budget
decit.
The Dow and the S&P advanced for
the previous five days as optimism
increased that a deal can be struck. The
S&P is trading at its highest in ve
weeks and has now erased all of its post-
election losses. Stocks fell immediately
after the vote Nov. 6 on concern that a
divided government would struggle to
resolve the budget issue.

American Airlines
rolls out new fare structure
DALLAS American Airlines is
changing the way it charges you to y.
American will charge up to $88 more
per round trip for passengers who want a
basic ticket that includes checking bag-
gage or changing the reservation later on.
Currently the airline levies separate fees
for those and other extras for everyone
except premium passengers.
Its calling the new fare levels Choice,
Choice Essential and Choice Plus.
American said Wednesday that the
options will be sold on its aa.com website
and through travel agents for ights in the
contiguous 48 states.
Rick Elieson, managing director of
aa.com, said the new pricing structure is a
response to customer complaints about
fees for changing a reservation.
Elieson said that American would still
sell a basic fare without protection against
add-on fees for the less-discriminating
passenger who is just looking for the
cheapest way to get to where theyve got to
go.
McAfee released in

McAfee sat in a coach-class seat on the
ight, which took off at midafternoon.
The escort to the airport, accompanied
by a throng of journalists and two police
trucks with sirens blaring, marked the last
chapter for McAfees strange, monthlong
odyssey to avoid police questioning about
the killing of an American expatriate in
neighboring Belize.
McAfee entered the country illegally,
immigration service spokesman Fernando
Lucero said. Guatemala is expelling him.
Since his country of origin is the United
States, Guatemala is expelling him to the
United States.

RAIDERS UPDATE: ROLANDO McCLAIN RETURNS TO PRACTICE WITH THE TEAM >> PAGE 15
Sheeper is a natural in goal
Heart drives Olson-Fabbro
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
There were several times during the latter part
of the 2012 season when Menlo-Athertons
Morgan Olson-Fabbro could not be in the pool.
As in, physically his body was not responding
the way he wanted.
I know there were times there where we was
really hurting, said M-A head coach Dante
Dettamanti. He missed two days of training
and wed have a game the next day and hes just
right in and play. There were times when hed
jump in the pool for practice and half way
through hed say, I just cant go anymore
today and get out and watch the rest of practice
from the sideline.
Dettamanti said his star 2-meter player was
hit with a form of non-contagious mono that
doctors didnt quite understand exactly at a
point in the season where the Bears were bat-
tling to win the Peninsula Athletic League and
SANTA CLARA Colin Kaepernick and
the San Francisco 49ers are looking forward
to matching up with Tom Brady and the pro-
lic offense of the New England Patriots on
Sunday night.
It may be more a matter of keeping up.
After breakout performances in
Kaepernicks rst two NFL starts, the San
Francisco offense lacked rhythm and punch
the past two weeks as the 49ers lost in over-
time to the St. Louis Rams and struggled for
three quarters before nishing off the Miami
Dolphins.
The Niners realize they likely will need
more this week with the NFLs top-ranked
offense on the other sideline. And its another
prime time opportunity for San Franciscos
12th-ranked attack to show what it can do now
that Kaepernick has settled in as the teams
starting QB.
This is a showdown weve been waiting
for, and weve got to put points on the board,
tight end Delanie Walker said Wednesday.
We know New Englands got an explosive
offense, and we can be the same with Kap.
One thing weve got to do as a team is keep
our offense on the eld and keep our defense
on the bench. Thats the main focus this
week.
The last time the 49ers played in a national-
ly televised evening game, Kaepernick lit up
the Chicago Bears in his starting debut Nov.
19 to spark San Francisco in a 32-7 rout. The
next week, Kaepernick passed for a touch-
down and ran for another as the Niners put up
31 points in a win at New Orleans.
Those are San Franciscos highest scoring
outputs since the rst week of October, when
Alex Smith was the teams starting quarter-
back. But things havent gone as smoothly the
past few weeks, when the 49ers had their least
productive offensive performances since slip-
ping past Seattle in another prime-time game
Oct. 18.
The 49ers even experienced problems get-
ting to the line of scrimmage on time last
week, when they converted on just two of 10
third-down plays and didnt secure a 27-13

Three years ago, the Menlo-Atherton girls
water polo program saw a young Sierra
Sheeper jump into the pool as a freshman
not just a freshman in terms of academics, but
one who admittedly knew zero about the sport
of water polo.
But there was something that spoke to the
M-A coaches about Sheepers natural ability
and her instincts in the pool. So when necessi-
ty came aknocking, head coach Chris Rubin
made a move that forever changed the course
of Sheepers career.
They put her between the pipes, guarding
the cage, protecting that which matters the
most.
It really is kind of shocking, Sheeper said.
Im really glad my coach asked me to play
the goal because I never thought I would be
here.

STANFORD One of the most
important road trips the Stanford
mens basketball team will have
made this season never shows up on
the schedule, in the teams record or
total miles traveled.
In September, the Cardinal gath-
ered around to support one of their
own after junior forward Dwight
Powell lost his mother. The coaches
and several players ew to Toronto
for the funeral.
Jacqueline Weir died on Sept. 13
in Boston after a short ght with
cancer, three months shy of her 54th
birthday. Powells coaches visited
the hospital in the Boston area,
where Weir worked and lived. And
Stanford received permission from
the NCAA to y the players from
Powells recruiting class to Canada
to be there for him at the memorial.
It was important, for sure,
Powell said. My friends in my life
are my family. The team is my fam-
ily, so it meant a lot for them to
come out there. I have a really good
support group in Toronto as well,
some guys I played with in high
school.
Coach Johnny Dawkins realizes
the importance of everyone support-
ing Powell, an only child attending
college so far from home. Dawkins
already had a close-knit group on
the reigning NIT champions, who
hope last seasons special run is
only a preview of bigger things for
the program this March in the
NCAA tournament. Stanford hasnt
been since 2008, and not yet under
fth-year coach Dawkins.
Powell will be an integral part in
getting Stanford there. Keeping him
in the right frame of mind as he con-
tinues to mourn his mother has been
a joint effort.
Dawkins considers the trip to
Toronto one that showed Powell just
how much support and how
many brothers he has within his
own locker room, and on campus.
Absolutely, Dawkins said.
Thats what its about. It was very
unfortunate what happened to his
mom, and very sudden. It really puts
it in perspective when something
happens to a young man and a fam-
ily. The players understand that. His
teammates and his coaches are a big
part of his life. Its important to rally
around him.
The Cardinal (6-3) are nishing
up their annual two-week break for
nal exams before returning to the
court to host UC Davis on Saturday,
the rst of four remaining noncon-
ference games ahead of Pac-12
play. Stanford is picked fourth in
the conference.
Powell has led Stanford in scoring
three times already, including going
off for a career-high 29 points in a
71-58 victory against Denver on
Dec. 2. He is averaging 14.2 points
per game, second to Chasson
Randles 14.7, while also pulling
down 6.9 rebounds.
This is the best place for me to
be right now. First of all, its a dif-
ferent country, so I dont even have
too much family except for the
team, Powell said. I cant really
think of anyone else Id rather lean
on right now than my teammates.
Regardless of what goes on, they
can take my mind off things.
Stanford players rally around Powell in tough time
secure a spot in the Central Coast
Section playoffs. For the rst time
since Dettamanti started coaching
Olson-Fabbro, the idea of substitut-
ing No. 10 crossed the coachs
mind.
But in games, he was a gamer,
Dettamanti said. He hung in there.
I really think thats something that
sets him apart from other players
not just in our team but all athletes
in general.
Admittedly, there were players in
San Mateo county who had more
eye-popping seasons than Olson-
Fabbro at least on paper. But
Olson-Fabbro is the Daily Journal
Boys Water Polo Player of the Year
for his grit and determination.
Olson-Fabbro was the M-A heart-
beat when it comes to worth,
there was none more valuable to his
team than he in 2012.
Morgan came through in the all
big games, Dettamanti said. All
the tough games. We had a tough
schedule and I did that on purpose.
We tried to play the best teams we
could find from the East Bay,
Southern California, the Central
Valley ... it was going to make us a
better team. Morgan came through
in the really tough games when we
needed goals, he really came
through for us.
Olson-Fabbro needed to do that
often for the 2012 Bears. M-A truly
was a cardiac kind of team this sea-
son. And when the going got tough,
the tough turned to Olson-Fabbro.
He would just take over a game
and part of that is the passion for the
game, Dettamanti said. Well, I
dont know if you call it passion, but
just, a desire to win. And to do
whats necessary at the time. I cant
tell you how many times we needed
a goal and it was the last part, last
minute of the game when were
down by a goal and Morgan would
get that goal to tie it up and go into
overtime.
Olson-Fabbro came through 69
times in 2012 as the Bears leading
scorer. He also tallied 47 steals and
31 assists. He was the PAL Bay
Divisions Most Valuable Player
and a member of the 2012 All-
Central Coast Section First Team.
And he led his team to a goal
from upsetting the mighty
Bellarmine Prep in the CCS
Division I championship. That
game was vintage Olson-Fabbro.
No. 10 scored ve times and beat
the Bells in every way imaginable.
What was amazing to me was he
also scored on the fast break,
Dettamanti said. Part of the fast
break is knowing when to go on the
counter attack, so hes really smart
about knowing. Hes not out fastest
swimmer, but he knows when to
take off. Heres a guy whos coming
off being sick, hes probably not in
the greatest shape. And even then,
hes scoring on the counter attack,
hes scoring from two meters, from
the outside, on the fast break.
Hes just got the feel for playing
the game. He instinctively knows
the game. He know where to shoot
the ball, where to position himself,
hes really good at reading the goal-
keeper. When it comes down to
what separates the great players
from just the good players, its how
you respond to coaching and your
feel for the game. The things you
cant coach. And thats what
Morgan has. He has the things you
cant coach a game situation,
knowing what to do, instinctively.
And it was those instincts that
kept Olson-Fabbro at such a domi-
nant level despite his ailments
playing everywhere in the pool for
the Bears as needed. As a 2-meter
play, Olson-Fabbro is undersized.
As a wing player, he isnt fast
enough.
Or so you would think.
Hes a really instinctive player.
Hes got a great feel for the game,
Dettamanti said. Every now in then
at practice or in a game hed do
something and you would go,
Where did that come from? Its a
passion for the game. Thats part of
it too. The really great athletes have
that feel for it. You look at any sport,
and the guys just have that natural
ability but for me its just a feel for
it, it separates the athletes from the
not-so-good athletes.

Here for Sheeper is not only
accepting the title of the Daily
Journals Girls Water Polo Player
of the Year, but also coming to grips
with the fact that with only a year
and a half worth of varsity water
polo experience, she has already
cemented herself as one of the pre-
miere goalkeepers not just in the
Peninsula Athletic League, but the
Central Coast Section as well.
If it sounds a little unbelievable,
well, even Sheeper admits the story
sounds pretty crazy.
Its was actually really surprising
this year, she said. Over the sum-
mer, Ive been trying to improve. I
joined a new club team that has a
goalie coach which helped going
into the season. But it was a shock.
And while the Bears, whose ath-
letic program enjoyed massive over-
all success this fall, fell to Leland in
the CCS Division I semifinals,
Sheeper made it clear that with her
manning the cage, M-A would be
back in the fray come 2013.
I think her overall success is just
a combination of things, Rubin
said. Obviously she has that natu-
ral ability which sets her apart. But,
she works hard day in and out. She
comes to practice, shes coachable,
she want to learn. And that shined
through for her this season.
The Bears won the PAL Bay
Division title and came within a
game of reaching the CCS nals in
Division I. But the season could
have been a total loss for M-A. The
Bears graduated nine seniors from
the 2011 teams and returned only
four players.
Amidst the turmoil of having to
reshape a team on the y, the one
constant was the young Sheeper in
goal covering up for any mistake
her defense might make and spring-
ing the young offense as well.
This season, she had the starting
role from beginning to end and I
think that just played a lot into her
condence, Rubin said. And it
really showed as we made it to the
end of the PAL season and CCS.
Sierras improvement over the
last year and half really allowed us
to play more of an attack-oriented
defense. We were able to be a little
more risky. Also, with Sierras great
throwing arm, the was able to help
us with counter attack opportunities,
as well.
I wanted our team to do well,
Sheeper said, just help out the new
players coming into the team. They
are obviously already really good
players, but I just showed them how
varsity was a little more. It took
quite a while during the season,
probably farther along in PAL play.
Denitely preseason was a lot more
of rebuilding the team since we had-
nt really played together.
And perhaps her leadership in the
pool and out was Sheepers biggest
contribution to the team. At almost
11 saves a game, the numbers were
always there. But, as a steady pres-
ence, Sheeper was invaluable, so
much so that the Bay Division
coaches named her the leagues
Most Valuable Goalie. She was also
named to the All-Central Coast
Section First Team.
Sierra at the beginning of this
year, if I had to break down who the
leaders of the team were going to
be, I may not have originally looked
at Sierra, Rubin said. But
throughout the season, she was a
great leader in the pool. During the
game, she was always calm, cool
and collected. She would make
some incredible saves but had the
mindset to take her time and make a
good outlet pass. And so, her
demeanor in the pool really stabi-
lized our defense.
She works hard day in and day
out, he said. Shes got such a pos-
itive attitude. Shes trained year-
around from the beginning of her
freshman year. Im sure shes
already in the pool training for next
season.
Sheepers Player of the Year play
this season has the entire M-A
Nation pumped for her senior cam-
paign.
Were very excited for next
year, Sheeper said. We think we
can improve more on this season
and move forward and have a
chance to win CCS next year.
I always think junior year is the
hardest year for any high school
water polo player, Rubin said. Its
a transition year, youre an upper
classmen and now youre expected
to contribute. I kind of feel like
Sierra took that all in and did really
well with the pressure of junior
year. Im excited to see how she
comes in senior year. Shes got
nothing to lose. Im sure shes going
to have an outstanding year in the
cage.
GIRLS
Warriors stay perfect on road trip, beat Heat
MIAMI Draymond Green
made a layup with 0.9 seconds left

97-95 win over the Miami Heat on
Wednesday.
Klay Thompson tied a season
high with 27 points to lead the
Warriors, who have won five
straight.
LeBron James led Miami with 31
points as he reached the 20-point
mark for the 25th consecutive game,
the longest current streak in the
NBA.
Jarrett Jack dribbled the ball at the
top of the key for the Warriors as the
clock ticked down before nding
Green open underneath the basket.
Green caught the pass in mid-air
and made the basket.
James jumper from the baseline
banged off the rim giving Golden
State the win as Miami lost for just
the second time in 12 home games.
David Lee scored 22 points and
grabbed 13 rebounds and Jack
added 20 points off the bench for
the Warriors.
Golden State took a 77-74 lead
into the fourth quarter after leading
for most of the third.
After hitting a 3 to tie the game at
87, James gave the Heat their rst
lead since early in the third with a
turnaround 18-footer with 6:41 left
for an 89-87 advantage.
The teams played a one-posses-
sion game over the next four min-
utes before Lee knocked down a
pair of free throws to tie the game at
95 with 1:54 left.
The score was still tied at 95 with
under a minute remaining. Ray
Allen had a chance to give the Heat
a lead with 45 seconds left. Lee fol-
lowed by missing a driving layup.
Shane Battiers miss from the corner
with 12 seconds left gave the
Warriors an opportunity in the clos-
ing seconds.
The Heat received a scare in the
second quarter when Lee sent James
to the oor with a agrant foul send-
ing James to the oor on his back.

TRANSACTIONS
Former New Orleans defensive coor-
dinator Gregg Williams testied that he
tried to shut down the teams bounty
system when the NFL began investigat-
ing but was overruled by interim Saints
head coach Joe Vitt, according to tran-
scripts from appeals hearings obtained
by The Associated Press.
According to the transcripts, Williams
said that then-assistant Vitt responded to
a suggestion that the pay-for-pain setup
be abandoned with an obscenity-lled
speech about how NFL Commissioner
Roger Goodell wasnt going to ... tell
us to ... stop doing what won us the
Super Bowl. This has been going on in
the ... National Football League forever,
and it will go on here forever, when they
run (me) out of there, it will still go on.
Williams and Vitt were among a num-
ber of witnesses whose testimony was
heard by former NFL Commissioner
Paul Tagliabue, who on Tuesday over-
turned four player suspensions in the
case. Tagliabue was appointed by
Goodell to handle the nal round of
appeals. The AP obtained transcripts of
Tagliabues closed-door hearings
through a person with a role in the case.
Vitt was a Saints assistant who was
banned for six games for his part in the
scandal but now is lling in for head
coach Sean Payton, who was suspended
for the entire season. Williams was sus-
pended indenitely by Goodell. Others
who testied included former defensive
assistant Mike Cerullo, the initial
whistleblower and considered a key
NFL witness.
Transcripts portray the former coach-
ing colleagues, all part of the Saints
2010 Super Bowl championship, as bit-
terly disagreeing with one another and
occasionally contradicting how the NFL
depicted the bounty system.
Vitt, Williams and Cerullo appeared
separately before Tagliabue and were
questioned by lawyers for the NFL and
lawyers representing the players origi-
nally suspended by Goodell: Jonathan
Vilma, Will Smith, Scott Fujita and
Anthony Hargrove.
Williams testied he wanted to stop bounties
WASHINGTON Accusing the
NFL players union of trying to
back out of an August 2011 agree-
ment to start checking for human
growth hormone, a congressman
worried aloud Wednesday that the
league will head into next season
without a test for the banned drug.
Hopefully as we move down the
line, players will see how incredibly
ridiculous it looks for them not to ...
straighten this thing out, said Rep.
Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the
House Oversight and Government
Reform Committees ranking
Democrat. Were now getting
ready to go into a third season, and
it does not look very good.
The panel held a hearing to
examine the science behind the
testing, and heard from experts that
it is reliable.
No test is perfect ... but there
hasnt been a single false positive,
U.S. Anti-Doping Agency Chief
Science Ofcer Larry Bowers testi-
ed.
While the latest, 10-year labor
contract paved the way for HGH
testing in professional football once
certain parameters were set, the
NFL Players Association wants a
new study before it will agree to the
validity of a test used by Olympic
sports and Major League Baseball.
The sides havent been able to agree
on a scientist to help resolve that
impasse.
HGH is a banned substance that is
hard to detect and used by athletes
for what are believed to be a variety
of benets, whether real or only per-
ceived such as increasing speed
or improving vision.
Lawmaker: NFL players are
trying to back out on HGH

victory over the Dolphins until a late offensive
charge produced two fourth-quarter touch-
downs.
Kaepernick led the charge and sealed the
win with a 50-yard touchdown dash with 2:10
to play, his second consecutive game with a
50-yard run, the longest by a quarterback in
franchise history. Against the Patriots, the
49ers may rely more on the big-play ability
that gave Kaepernick the starting job over
Smith, the NFLs third-ranked quarterback
who hasnt played since suffering a concus-
sion on Nov. 11.
There are denitely things that were doing
that tailor the offense to his skill set, coach
Jim Harbaugh said.
Kaepernick is 3-1 as a starter but this
Sunday is the biggest stage yet for the second-
year pro. As is his style, Kaepernick displayed
little emotion and was brief with his answers
when talking about the Patriots on
Wednesday.
Itll be a great challenge for us,
Kaepernick said. Its a great opportunity to
go out and show what were capable of.
Theyre going to give you a lot of different
looks on defense. You just have to be ready for
it, for their disguises and different coverages,
different fronts theyre going to give you.
Kaepernick was ready for much of what he
saw during his rst month as a starter. Hes
completing 67.4 percent of his passes and is
averaging 217 yards passing per game and 8.3
yards per pass attempt as a starter. Hes
thrown just one interception in 129 attempts
this year and has a passer rating of 97.4.
And despite not playing in three games and
having 13 combined carries in ve others,
Kaepernick is third among NFL quarterbacks
with 351 yards rushing and ve touchdowns
on the ground.

ALAMEDA Oakland Raiders linebacker
Rolando McClain met with coach Dennis
Allen before returning to practice Wednesday
after serving a two-game suspension for con-
duct detrimental to the team.
Allen would not discuss details of the meet-
ing but said McClain would remain on the
roster in a backup role after starting nine
games this year before his suspension.
I laid out exactly what the expectations are
for him moving forward, Allen said. Really
thats about it. Were moving on from there.
Rolandos part of this team and were going to
move on.
McClain had not been at the teams facili-
ties since Nov. 28 when he was kicked out of
practice following an argument with Allen.
McClain was told not to return to practice and
was suspended two days later.
That McClain is back with the Raiders is
somewhat surprising considering he posted
several comments on Facebook criticizing the
team after he was sent home from practice.
Those comments were later removed.
Things get said in the heat of the moment,
Allen said. Weve gotta move on.
Whether McClain has moved on is
unknown.
The eighth overall pick in 2010, who posted
that he was mentally done and just waiting
on my papers after being sent home, did not
appear in the Raiders locker room during the
45-minute media access period and did not
issue a statement.
He practiced with Oaklands second-team
defense Wednesday while Omar Gaither, who
started at middle linebacker in place of
McClain the past two weeks, continued to
work with the starters.
Although neither McClain nor the Raiders
have said publicly what the dispute between
the two men was about, Allen acknowledged
the linebacker was told before the suspension
that he had lost his starting job on defense.
Everybody makes mistakes in life, and to
be honest I still dont know the whole story,
Gaither said. I dont know whos at fault.
(But) you welcome him back with open arms,
put him back in the mix, and you just go from
there.
McClain was reinstated to Oaklands roster
on Monday but was unable to meet with Allen
because the coach was in Texas to attend his
fathers funeral.
In 41 career games with Oakland, McClain
has 6 1/2 sacks, one interception, one forced
fumble, no fumble recoveries and did little to
help improve Oaklands struggling run
defense.
Other players who have struggled with the
Raiders this season have already been
released.
Starting cornerback Ron Bartell was cut on
Monday as part of a handful of moves to open
a roster spot for McClain. Backup fullback
Owen Schmitt was also let go, three weeks
after outside linebacker Aaron Curry a pro-
jected starter before the season was given
his walking papers.
McClain has struggled so far in his career
and has had his playing time sharply reduced
in recent weeks, but Allen and general manag-
er Reggie McKenzie resisted the urge to cut
him with three games left.
Just different circumstances, Allen said.
Im not going to get into the specics.
Oaklands players didnt seem too con-
cerned about McClains return becoming a
distraction.
It hasnt distracted us for the past two or
three weeks, quarterback Carson Palmer
said. This team is completely focused on
beating the Kansas City Chiefs and thats all
were going to worry about. If anybody has a
problem with it Ill help guys through it, but
its no issue for us.
Notes: Allen said there was a chance
third-string quarterback Terrelle Pryor will
make his season debut against the Chiefs. ...
DT Richard Seymour (knee, hamstring) is still
limited in practice but the Raiders are hopeful
he can play for the rst time since Nov. 4.

Some artificial Christmas trees
glow cheerily even without lights:
The branches themselves softly
glow, fading on and off in different
colors at the tips.
That got me wondering: Could
you get the same effect from a real
tree?
If plain old green evergreens are
too ho-hum for you, theres a world
of self-igniting evergreens await-
ing.
For example, consider growing a
variety of yellow-leafed conifer,
many of which make good cut trees.
The Aurea, Lutea and Rheingold
varieties of arborvitae; the
Aurescens variety of Japanese yew;
the Gold Cone variety of common
juniper; and the Gold Coast or Old
Gold varieties of Chinese juniper all
sport yellow foliage.
Any of these conifers also have
relatively dense, small needles, so
the trees look full even when viewed
up close, propped by the replace.
Some evergreens even provide
their own version of tinsel: silvery
leaves. Try something like the
Glauca variety of Japanese white
pine or the Argentea variety of
Colorado blue spruce. The blue of
evergreen needles results from a
waxy coating, and that waxy blue is
not far from silver, making the
Angelica Blue, Blue Cloud and
Blue Vase varieties of Chinese
juniper also self-decorating, sort of.
OK, lets admit that while a yel-
low or silver conifer might look
good among other plants out in the
garden especially lighting up a
shady area it could look sickly,
boring and bereft of holiday cheer
standing alone in a living room.
Nature has provided for us here
also, though.
For instance, Dragons Eye pine,
a variety of Japanese red pine, has
two yellow bands decorating each
of its otherwise green needles. And
the green needles of the
Aureovariegata variety of arborvitae
are randomly splotched with yellow.
Still interested in tinsel? Grow
Nana Variegata Japanese falsecy-
press for leaves that are both green
and white.
Like the articial tree that glows
at its tips, another variety of
Japanese red pine, Alboterminata,
glows pale yellow only at the tips of
the leaves. A couple of Hinoki false-
cypress varieties ignite similarly.
Mariesii glows white, and a tree of
Crispii is a pyramid of green suf-
Some trees put a natural glow on the season
Above: the Glauca variety of the Japanese white pine has a white stripe
on each needle, giving it a silvery appearance. Right: The Colorado blue
spruce gets its bluish coloring from a waxy coating on each needle.

Forget Bing Crosbys classic White Christmas. For me,
Christmastime will forever be evoked by David Cassidy
crooning My Christmas Card to You, and I still have the
1972 Partridge Family holiday record album to prove it.
The music has long since been transferred to my iPod, but
the rest of my family can stand only so much of Cassidys
oddly melancholy rendition of Frosty the Snowman. So I
came up with another way to get my x of nostalgia: I repro-
duced the album cover art on a tile coaster that now resides on
my coffee table, not my parents old turntable. In fact, I had
enough vintage albums to make a set of four holiday coasters,
and at a cost of 15 cents per tile, can afford to make more to
give to my sister.
But why stop there? Im also awfully fond of my 1973 Little
Golden Book versions of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
and Frosty the Snowman, and I get out my battered copies
every year. But the books end up lost amid my sons enormous
collection, so I came up with a way to make them part of our
holiday dicor.
Instead of shrinking the covers as I did for the albums, I
enlarged them a bit to t 8-by-10-inch canvases and hung them
on the wall. Slapping a print into a frame would be even easi-
er, but I had the blank canvas on hand and didnt want to buy
a new frame. I may be a hopeless sap at the holidays, but Im
also thrifty.
Record album coasters
Materials:
record album covers
scanner or digital camera
printer
craft knife and metal ruler or scissors
spray adhesive or adhesive tape (I used a Scotch-brand
Advanced Tape Glider)
ceramic tiles, approximately 4-by-4 inches
clear enamel topcoat (I used Rust-oleum Crystal Clear
Enamel)
felt, cut to the size of the coasters
Instructions:
1. Take a picture of your album cover. Scanning it would
also work, but most small, desktop scanners wont be big
enough to scan the entire cover in one pass. Its best to stand
the album up on a shelf against a wall, so you can get a
straight-on view for a photo.
2. Use photo-editing or word-processing software to crop
and re-size the image to t your tile. Print the image, then trim
it to size using the craft knife or scissors.
3. Use adhesive tape or spray adhesive to glue the image to
the tile. Many online tutorials call for using Mod Podge, a type
of decoupage medium, for this kind of project but I nd it
messy. And because it is water-based, the nished coasters
likely will not stand up to moisture or heat from a cold bever-
age glass or warm mug.
4. Allow adhesive to dry thoroughly, following product
directions. Working outdoors, apply several light coats of the
clear enamel spray, again following the product directions for
how long to wait between coats.
5. Glue squares of felt to the underside of the tiles to prevent
the rough surface from scratching your table.
6. Allow the nished coaster to dry for at least several days
before using.
Give vintage holiday items a fresh look
Use the cover art from your favorite band, cut and glue to
pieces of tile to serve as custom drink coasters.

Mariesii glows white, and a tree of Crispii is a
pyramid of green suffused with a glowing yel-
low surface.
One more conifer worth mentioning is the
Aurea variety of Scotch pine. It actually fades
in and out of color like those articial trees
though not nearly as quickly. Young leaves
emerge yellowish in spring, turn pure green in
summer, then become yellowish again in cold
weather.
For anyone who wants their living tree to
actually glow with light from within, British
genetic engineers have been working on tech-
niques to use genes from luminescent jellysh
and reies to produce real holiday trees that
glow without added lights.
All of these real trees whether all yellow
or silver, just so at their tips, or changing color
have a place in the garden, and perhaps
even cut as branches or whole trees indoors.
None can offer the festive, dramatic con-
trasts that you get from a lush, green tree
draped with shiny tinsel and brightly colored
decorations. Then again, neither do those soft-
ly glowing articial tree.

Blast at Syrian regime
building in capital kills 5
BEIRUT Three bombs collapsed walls in
the Syrian Interior Ministry building Wednesday
in Damascus, killing at least ve people, as rebels
ghting to overthrow President Bashar Assad
edged closer to the capital, the symbol of his
power.
The blast came as more than 100 countries rec-
ognized the opposition umbrella group as the legit-
imate representative of Syria, a diplomatic blow to
Assad.
Five people were killed in the Wednesdays
attacks and 23 others were injured in the attacks,
according to a statement by the Interior Ministry.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights said at least eight people were
killed, most of them soldiers, and more than 40
wounded.
Such bombings have been a trademark of
Islamic radicals ghting alongside the rebels, rais-
ing concerns about the extremists role in the civil
war.
On Wednesday afternoon, attackers detonated
two explosive devices before an explosives-laden
car went off near the entrance of the Interior
Ministry building in Kafar Souseh district in
Damascus. The blast knocked down walls inside
the ministry building, scattering debris on the
street and shattering windows in nearby structures,
including at the Egyptian Embassy.
Police cordoned off the area. The pro-govern-
ment Al-Ekhbariya TV showed splotches of blood
on the street in front of the ministry.
World brief
PORTLAND, Ore. Gunfire
rang out in the mall food court,
instantly transforming a casual
afternoon of holiday shopping into
a nightmare. The shooter, armed
with a rie, was dressed in dark
clothing and wore a hockey-style
face mask.
As panicked shoppers fled for
cover, workers ushered some into
hiding places within stores, or
helped them to the exits. The rst
ofcers to arrive formed groups and
rushed into the chaos, rather than
waiting for the more heavily armed
SWAT team.
If we would have run out, we
would have ran right into it, said
Kaelynn Keelin, who saw a window
get shot out and, along with other
Made In Oregon co-workers, pulled
customers into the store for shelter.
The quick mobilization of mall
workers and police reects the real-
ity that, while mass shootings are
rare, they have forced authorities to
rehearse for such outbreaks of vio-
lence as if they are the norm.
This could have been much,
much worse, Clackamas County
Sheriff Craig Roberts said.
Roughly 10,000 people were
inside the Clackamas Town Center
on Tuesday afternoon, when police
say Jacob Tyler Roberts, 22, armed
himself with an AR-15 semiauto-
matic rie he stole from someone
he knew, and went on a rampage
that left two people dead.
The sheriff said the rie jammed
during the attack, but the shooter
managed to get it working again. He
later shot himself. The sheriff and
Roberts are not related.
As authorities tried to determine a
motive for a shooting they said had
no specic targets, details emerged
about Roberts from acquaintances
and neighbors. They described him
as relaxed, friendly and outgoing.

WASHINGTON White people
will no longer make up a majority of
Americans by 2043, according to new
census projections. Thats part of a
historic shift that already is reshaping
the nations schools, workforce and
electorate, and is redening long-held
notions of race.
The ofcial projection, released
Wednesday by the Census Bureau,
now places the tipping point for the
white majority a year later than previ-
ous estimates, which were made
before the impact of the recent eco-
nomic downturn was fully known.
America continues to grow and
become more diverse due to higher
birth rates among minorities, particu-
larly for Hispanics who entered the
U.S. at the height of the immigration
boom in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Since the mid-2000 housing bust,
however, the arrival of millions of new
immigrants from Mexico and other
nations has slowed from its once-tor-
rid pace.
The countrys changing demo-
graphic mosaic has stark political
implications, shown clearly in last
months election that gave President
Barack Obama a second term in no
small part due to his support from 78
percent of non-white voters.
There are social and economic ram-
ications, as well. Longstanding
ghts over civil rights and racial
equality are going in new directions,
promising to reshape race relations
and common notions of being a
minority. White plaintiffs now
before the Supreme Court argue that
special protections for racial and eth-
nic minorities dating back to the
1960s may no longer be needed, from
afrmative action in college admis-
sions to the Voting Rights Act,
designed for states with a history of
disenfranchising blacks.
Residential segregation has eased
and intermarriage for rst- and sec-
ond-generation Hispanics and Asians
is on the rise, blurring racial and eth-
nic lines and lifting the numbers of
people who identify as multiracial.
Unpublished 2010 census data show
that millions of people shunned stan-
dard race categories such as black or
white on government forms, opting to
write in their own cultural or individ-
ual identities.

a majority in U.S. by 2043

The FCC is also working to create a $7 bil-
lion interoperable public safety network, a
need highlighted by Superstorm Sandy.
Wireless spectrum is a limited natural
resource but much of it is not used efciently,
according to the National Science Foundation.
The spectrum is used by television broadcast-
ers and cellphone companies to transmit infor-
mation but only about 5 percent of the spec-
trum between 30 megahertz and 3,000 mega-
hertz is being used at any one time, according
to the National Science Foundation.
Eshoo wants the FCC to implement the auc-
tion and reorganize the spectrum band that
optimizes the value of both licensed and unli-
censed spectrum access.
Since the 1930s, spectrum has been
assigned through administrative licensing and
exclusive licensing was established to protect
broadcaster signals from interference.
Since the passage of the Middle Class Tax
Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, however,
there have been several examples of the pub-
lic benets that unlicensed spectrum brings to
consumers and businesses, according to the
letter Eshoo sent to Genachowski.
An example includes Superstorm Sandy
when many wireless phone networks were
overloaded or completely inoperable, WiFi
provided access to the Internet for critical
news and information, Eshoo wrote in the let-
ter.
To make the auction work, however, televi-
sion broadcasters will have to voluntarily
relinquish their spectrum.
The FCC needs to construct a band plan that
maximizes the enormous economic benets of
both licensed and unlicensed spectrum, Eshoo
said at yesterdays subcommittee meeting.
The proposed rulemaking adopted on Sept.
28, 2012, consistent with congressional intent,
recognizes that nationwide guard bands need-
ed for interference protection can simultane-
ously provide unlicensed access, ensuring that
every megahertz of spectrum is used efcient-
ly, Eshoo said in the meeting. Eshoos ofce
provided the Daily Journal with her prepared
speech for yesterdays subcommittee meeting.
Congress crafted the spectrum law to
ensure that the FCC by rulemaking can
adopt rules enhancing competition, consumer
choice and innovation. With the potential to
free up as much as 120 megahertz of beach-
front spectrum, wireless carriers of all sizes,
both regional and national, must have an
opportunity to participate in the auction
process, she said at the meeting yesterday.
The FCC must also be proactive in its
approach to educating broadcasters, she said.
Without voluntary broadcaster participa-
tion, there will be no new spectrum to repur-
pose, Eshoo said yesterday.
The effort, she said, must be a collaborative
process that brings together broadcasters,
wireless carriers and technology companies
for the purpose of revolutionizing the mobile
broadband marketplace.
Republicans, however, contend the path the
FCC is on now may cost it up to $19 billion in
revenue through the auction process.
Unlicensed spectrum is a band that has rules
pre-dened for radios or other devices in such
a way that interference is abated by the tech-
nical rules dened for the bands rather than it
being restricted for use by only one company
through a spectrum licensing approach,
according to WiMax.com, a wireless broad-
band company.
Anyone that does not infringe upon the
rules for the equipment or its use can put up a
license-free network at any time for either pri-
vate or public purposes including commercial
high-speed Internet service, according to
WiMax.com.
Some of the most commonly used license-
free frequencies in the United States are at 900
megahertz, 2.4 gigahertz, 5.2/5.3/5.8 giga-
hertz, 24 gigahertz and above 60 gigahertz,
according to WiMax.com.

years giving the public multiple opportunities to
weigh in, she said. The district moved forward in
hopes of meeting its goal of opening in 2014.
Steve Epstein, president of the Burlingame Hills
Improvement Association, said the residents are
disappointed in the process.
I think they shot themselves in the foot. They
had an opportunity to get buy in from the entire
community and instead created controversy where
it wasnt needed, said Epstein.
Many of the residents with whom Epstein has
met learned about the trafc plans within the last
week. They said a better trafc solution could be
possible if the decision was delayed. What that
compromise could be isnt yet known, but the res-
idents wanted the opportunity to talk about it, he
said. Now, the residents are working to nd a
lawyer and possibly challenge the districts deci-
sion.
Canyon Road and Easton Drive are the primary
roads through the neighborhood and serve about
1,000 vehicles on a typical weekday approxi-
mately 80 vehicles in the morning peak hour and
75 during the afternoon peak hours, according to a
Nov. 29 study by Feher and Peers. Opening a 250-
student school is estimated to generate between
113 to 228 vehicles during the morning peak hour
and 70 to 150 vehicles during the afternoon peak
hours, according to the study. Given the schools
location, topography and the lack of sidewalks in
the nearby neighborhood, the study suggests fewer
students will walk to school than would to an aver-
age neighborhood school.
The districts proposed student drop-off and
pick-up was modied after concerns were raised
from the town of Hillsborough. As approved, the
plan calls for two 8-foot-wide curbside bays to be
created for pick-up and drop-off along the west
side of Summit Drive adjacent to the school pro-
viding enough curb space for 15 cars, according to
the staff report. In addition, the existing school site
curb would be shifted west to provide for the bays
and two 10-foot-wide vehicle travel lanes, which
will increase the width of Summit to 17 feet in
some areas. Faculty and staff would help drivers
navigate the area and signs would be posted.

Russo who was charged with violating the
California Marine Life Protection Act. The
payment of $2,500 per violation covers civil
penalties and reimburses enforcement costs.
Russo also agreed to comply with the protec-
tion act.
Russo, who owns and operates the commer-
cial fishing vessel Freeland, unlawfully
trapped 58 Dungeness crabs last December,
according to prosecutors.
As part of the agreement, Russo had to
admit the wrongdoing, said Deputy District
Attorney Todd Feinberg of the offices
Consumer and Environmental Unit.
The case was his rst in San Mateo County,
Feinberg said.
California Department of Fish and Game
wardens seized ve crabs traps belonging to
Russo on Dec. 11, 2011. The traps containing
the 58 crabs were inside the Montara State
Marine Reserve where shing is not allowed.
The department forwarded the case to local
prosecutors who filed the civil complaint
against Russo.
The reserve and Pillar Point State Marine
Conservation Area are adjoining protected
areas that extend offshore from Montara to
Pillar Point. Collectively, they are 1.42 square
miles. Feinberg said he didnt know if Russo
claimed the trapping was in error but that the
marine protections areas are extremely well
publicized, especially among commercial
industries.
Taking any marine life, including crabs, is
forbidden in the area as part of the protection
act which aims to preserve Californias biodi-
versity from overshing, coastal development
and water pollution. Exceptions may be made
for those with a scientic collecting permit or
state approval for research, restoration and
monitoring.
Russos settlement comes just as dozens of
Bay Area crab boats head back out to sea after
a week-long dispute over the price of fresh
Dungeness crab.

SUIT
By Derrik J. Lang
LOS ANGELES A judge revoked Lindsay
Lohans probation on Wednesday and scheduled a
hearing that could result in more jail time for the
closely watched Liz and Dick star.
The ruling in Los Angeles came as the 26-year-
old actress who did not appear in court
faces misdemeanor counts of reckless driving,
lying to a police ofcer and obstructing an ofcer
from performing duties after an accident in which
her Porsche slammed into the back of a dump
truck in June.
Lohan told police in Santa Monica that her
assistant was driving, but detectives now believe
the actress was behind the wheel as she headed to
a movie set.
Lohan was on probation at the time after previ-
ously being convicted of the misdemeanor theft of
a necklace.
A probation violation hearing was set for Jan.
15. A judge could sentence the actress up to 245
days in jail after the Santa Monica case is
resolved.
Lohan was not required to appear in court
Wednesday. She was represented by her attorney,
Shawn Holley, who did not immediately return an
email message seeking comment after the hearing.
Lohan also faces a misdemeanor assault charge
in New York after a woman claimed she was hit by
the actress at a nightclub.
Judge revokes Lohans probation
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2012
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- It might be smart
to avoid all kinds of fnancial risk, even if a deal
looks like a sure thing. Chances are your conception
of it will be overly optimistic.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Youre more likely
to tell others what to do than to do anything yourself.
You shouldnt have to be told that this is a sure
recipe for dysfunction.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Use a light touch
when embellishing a story that you want others
to enjoy. If you get in over your head, chances are
youll trip over your own tongue.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Leave that extra cash
youve been saving at home if youre going out on
the town with your pals. Your ability to prudently
manage your resources isnt likely to be at its best.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Dont rely on any spur-
of-the-moment promises made to you. No matter
how well meant they might be, reality will have other
plans for how things play out.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A situation that has
had an adverse effect on your fnances is ready to
be rectifed. Although it wont be soon enough to
suit you and your wallet, at least itll be over.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Be careful not to get
drawn into an arrangement where you could lose
more than you could gain. If you plunge in anyway,
make tracks as soon as you begin to see this
happening.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Dont allow anyone
to do your thinking for you, especially in affairs that
could affect your reputation and/or status. What is
good for another might be bad for you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont tackle a complicated
do-it-yourself project that you lack the experience
and/or expertise to take on. This might be one of
those times when its cheaper to pay a professional.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You could have
trouble telling the difference between prudence
and extravagance. For example, after a sumptuous
dinner, you might keep the leftover salad but throw
away the caviar.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Keeping your priorities
in proper order could be a diffcult assignment at
present. Try not to place far more emphasis on
pleasurable pursuits than on productive ones.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Usually, youre
the type of person who sees things through to a
desirable conclusion, yet you might fnd it diffcult to
do so at present. Dont call it quits on anything just
because the end is in sight.
