The two murder suspects in a botched San
Mateo home invasion robbery that ended up
getting their friend killed pleaded not guilty
yesterday to murder charges and allegations
that could eventually leave both facing life
in prison without the possibility of parole
or even the death penalty.
Bunn Vo, 22, of San Jose, and Edwin Lee,
23, of Daly City, are each charged with rst-
degree murder, attempted murder, robbery,
kidnapping to commit robbery and conspir-
acy. Prosecutors are still researching the
possible addition of the special circum-
stance allegation that the murder happened
during the commission of another felony

Constant connectivity to the Internet and
devices led one San Mateo school to offer a
two-week technology free challenge to its
eighth grade class.
The challenge, which wraps up today, was
born out of the idea that children are look-
ing for more boundaries and good examples
set around them to manage their engage-
ment with technology. Students voluntarily
chose to give up cellphones, iPads,
iTouches, video games, social media sites,
texting, Snapchat, Instagram, music videos
and other outlets for 12 days. Music, regular
television, movies and class movies were
allowed.

The longtime wish for a hotel on land San
Carlos has deemed landmark properties
could gain traction with the $13.7 million
purchase of three parcels in the industrial
area near the citys gateway.
Earlier this year, city ofcials wrestled
with the idea of protecting the area from
large-scale gyms and other non-hotel uses
by changing the zoning. Proponents argued
the challenge of creating a space for a hotel
and its precious revenue to the city.
Opponents maintained a hotel would be
hard-pressed to materialize and said the mar-
ket should decide. Now, the market appar-
ently is leaning toward a hotel after all.
Several hotel developers have expressed
varying levels of interest and the owners of
595 Industrial Road, 810 E. San Carlos Ave.
and 850 E. San Carlos Ave. are reportedly
eager to sell so eager in fact they want a
short close. But hotel developers dont
operate quite that quickly so to overcome
the potential obstacle of a roughly 120-day
escrow, the city is considering a short-term
purchase of the land from the owners, said
Councilman Mark Olbert.
The danger is the city being left holding
the 3.91 acres of land if a hotel deal never
transpires, but Olbert called it a low-risk
investment.
I think at this state of the economic
cycle, holding an investment of land is a
good idea. We have a concept in place, a
vetted level of interest and it would be real-
ly silly to let this kind of opportunity go,
Olbert said.

California health
exchange upholds
policy cancelations
By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO The board overseeing
Californias health insurance exchange
voted unanimously Thursday to stick with
its current year-end deadline of phasing out
more than 1 million individual health insur-
ance policies that fail to meet requirements
of the federal health care overhaul, turning
aside a plea by President Barack Obama to
let those policies continue.
In voting 5-0, Covered California board
members said allowing the older polices to
continue would undermine the new insur-
ance marketplaces. Those policies are being
ended because they do meet the more exten-
sive requirements for essential benefits
under the federal Affordable Care Act.
Theres no way to make the federal law
work without this transition to ACA-com-
pliant plans, board member Susan
Kennedy said. Delaying the transition
isnt going to help anyone; it just delays
the problems. I actually think that its
going to make a bad situation worse if we
complicate it further.
The state insurance commissioner has
said that 1.1 million Californians are
receiving notices that their current individ-
ual health insurance policies will be discon-

Congressman memorialized
The downtown San Mateo post
ofce was ofcially renamed in honor
of the late congressman Leo J. Ryan
the week of Nov. 22, 2008, 30 years
after he was shot to death on a Guyana
tarmac and more than 900 followers
of Jim Jones and the Peoples
Temple committed suicide nearby.
The honor was the work of U.S.
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San
Mateo, who, as
Ryans political aide,
was seriously injured
in the attack.
Speier, D-San Mateo, started her
venture into politics as a high
school volunteer for Ryans cam-
paign. Naming the post ofce after
Ryan is a tting tribute to a consum-
mate civil servant, Speier told a
crowd gathered in front of the post
ofce on Monday of that week.
On Nov. 18, 1978, Ryan paid the
ultimate price for his unwavering
quest for the truth. While on a fact-
nding mission to the jungles of
Guyana, he and a coalition of staff
members and press were gunned down
on an airstrip near Jonestown by
members of the Peoples Temple.
Board tackles vacancy plans
The Board of Supervisors decided
the week of Nov. 22, 2008, to only
call for a special election to replace
Supervisor Jerry Hill, just elected to
the state Assembly, if it does nd an
appropriate candidate among those
applying for an appoint-
ment.
The board opted for the
two-pronged approach on
Tuesday of that week in
hopes of avoiding a special
election which was estimated to cost
upwards of $1.6 million if it is the
only item on the ballot.
Unlicensed
contracting sting nabs 22
Twenty-two unlicensed contractors
bid on home improvement jobs val-
ued at more than $500 during a two-
day sting, the District Attorneys
Ofce announced the week of Nov.
22, 2008.
The 22 contractors were either
arrested or issued citations in the
undercover bust held the previous
week at homes in Belmont and Menlo
Park.
Crab season
starts with a whimper
The beginning of crab season the
week of Nov. 22, 2008, was as bad
or worse than fishermen expect-
ed.
Fishermen were returning
to harbor with an average of
one to three crabs per pot on
Saturday of that week. In
normal seasons, fishermen haul in
approximately 15 crabs per pot.
The haul confirmed what everyone
was already fearing that in a com-
mon occurrence, crab did not settle
in the area that year. The low crab
count already had some fishermen
selling crab for $5 to $5.50 per
pound straight off their boats.

nally printed five years ago this week. It

Journal.

San Mateo High School students are pair-
ing up with the Samaritan House and Second
Harvest Food Bank to kick off the holiday
giving season with a choir performance at
the Hillsdale Shopping Center Saturday.
The schools annual food drive started
Nov. 15 and lasts through Dec. 2.
I think the holidays are a time of coming
together as a family. I think one of the best
parts of a holiday is having a meal together
with your family and its so unfortunate that
people in our country dont have that luxu-
ry, said Rachel Royce, a senior at the
school and the co-community service com-
missioner for the drive.
Students set up at various grocery stores
from Millbrae to Redwood City to partici-
pate in giving back to the community by
collecting food and monetary donations,
said Sara Catalli, leadership teacher and
activities director at the school. The bulk of
the work for the drive is done by students in
the leadership class who collect, move and
store the food; but the whole school partic-
ipates by contributing and gathering dona-
tions from neighbors, Catalli said.
We work together as a collective student
body toward our common goal, Royce said.
The students arent just brightening the
holidays for those in the community at
large, theyre helping students within their
school, Catalli said.
Our school is so socially, economically
and ethnically diverse, that when you hear
the statistics that one in 10 people in San
Mateo County need our help, that includes
people in our own school, Royce said.
The schools food drive dates back to the
1980s when it paired up with the nearby
Samaritan House. Over the years, the stu-
dents efforts became so successful that
Samaritan House asked them to pair up with
a food bank that had trucks and resources to
help process the donations. About nine
years ago, the school began to work with
the Second Harvest Food Bank, Catalli said.
Samaritan House distributes tens of thou-
sands of pounds of food to families during
the holidays and the school plays a substan-
tial role, said Samaritan House spokes-
woman Marcy Spiker.
The San Mateo High School Canned
Food Drive is an extremely important part
of Samaritan Houses holiday food program
and we are extremely fortunate to work with
such an enthusiastic and community-minded
group of teens, Spiker said.
This is the rst year the school will high-
light its charity with a public performance.
Shawn Reifschneider is the schools choir
teacher who also works with Burlingame
High School and will be leading 95 choir
students to promote the giving spirit.
The students enthusiasm and energy adds
to the spirit and makes them a pleasure to
work with, Spiker said.
People tend to give more during the hol-
iday season because they understand that
this is the season of giving, Royce said.
The San Mateo and Burlingame high
schools choir performance will be held 1
p.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday Nov. 23 at the
Nordstrom Court in the Hillsdale Shopping
Center.

House visit www.samaritanhousesanma-

SACRAMENTO California on
Thursday adopted new ammability stan-
dards for furniture and other products that
would allow manufacturers to stop using
chemical ame retardants.
Gov. Jerry Brown said the new standards
were a badly needed update to nearly 40-
year-old rules that led to the widespread use
of chemicals known as PBDEs to treat the
foam found inside furniture.
Current rules require furniture lling to
withstand exposure to an open ame, like a
candle, for 12 seconds. This is no longer a
requirement under the new rules.
Instead, manufacturers will reduce re dan-
ger by focusing ammability protection on
ignition sources that are more common re
starters, like cigarettes, radiant heaters,
extension cords and replace embers.
Brown said the new standards will keep
furniture in homes re-safe while limiting
chemical exposure.
Today, California is curbing toxic chem-
icals found in everything from high chairs
to sofas, Brown said in a statement.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention says animal studies show PBDEs
polybrominated diphenyl ethers can
affect brain development, but human health
effects from low exposure levels are still
unknown.

OAKLAND The San Francisco Bay Area
Rapid Transit board approved a tentative
labor contract Thursday after stripping out a
disputed family medical leave provision that
ofcials with its two largest unions have
said they want included.
Board members voted 8-1 to approve the
deal, minus the provision that would give
workers six weeks of paid annual leave to
care for sick family members. The transit
agency said the provision could cost $44
million over four years if one-third of union
workers take six-week leaves each year.
BART ofcials announced last week that
the provision had been inadvertently includ-
ed in the proposed contract due to an error.
The parties agreed to a tentative deal Oct.
21 after six months of agonizing negotia-
tions and two strikes that caused headaches
for hundreds of thousands of people who ride
the nations fth-largest commuter rail sys-
tem.
We hope the unions will take the agree-
ment, minus the six weeks of additional paid
leave that was mistakenly included in the
nal document, back to their members,
BART President Tom Radulovich said.
Simply put, (BART) cannot afford to give
its employees another six weeks of paid
leave, on top of the generous leave already
allowed in the BARTemployee benet pack-
age.
The decision creates uncertainty about the
fate of the tentative contract.
Representatives from the Amalgamated
Transit Union Local 1555 and Service
Employees International Union Local 1021
called the move by the board an unfair labor
practice.
The unions intend to discuss the matter
with attorneys and members to determine the
next step.
I am deeply disappointed in the actions
that the board took, ATU Local 1555
President Antonette Bryant said after the
vote. To take this action on something that
was not presented to our members speaks to
the fact that they are not adhering to the
negotiation process.
She later told the board that it was a slap
in the face to the negotiation process.
You vote on a contract in its entirety
up or down. We expected the board to step up
and act with integrity and credibility,
Bryant said. We did not get to pick or
choose what we wanted to leave in or to
leave out.
The unions did not mention the possibili-
ty of a third strike this year.
Zakhary Mallet, the lone BART board
member who voted against the tentative
deal, said it was too costly and shortsighted.
I feel for the negotiations we went too
far, too quickly, Mallet said. I dont nd it
nancially sustainable.
Alabor expert who was an invited observ-
er to the BART bargaining sessions said
Thursday that the Family Medical Leave Act
provision was routinely mentioned among
the parties among the items they had agreed
upon as talks resumed.
John Logan, the director of Labor and
Employment Studies at San Francisco State
University, said the provision was seeming-
ly resolved as the talks remained con-
tentious over salary, benets and safety con-
ditions.
The idea that this provision was included
as a mistake would come as a complete sur-
prise to the unions because it was settled ear-
lier, Logan said. Whether it was included
in the contract due to gross incompetence or
a mistake, thats the contract youre sup-
posed to be voting on.
Transit agency OKs deal without key provision
We hope the unions will take the agreement, minus the six
weeks of additional paid leave that was mistakenly included in the
nal document, back to their members. ... Simply put, (BART) cannot
afford to give its employees another six weeks of paid leave, on top of the
generous leave already allowed in the BART employee benet package.

USGS finds land
sinking rapidly in Central Valley
SAN FRANCISCO Land in Californias San Joaquin
Valley is sinking more rapidly than usual because of
increased pumping from underground sources, a phenom-
enon that is damaging vital water infrastructure, the U.S.
Geological Survey said Thursday.
The USGS study found that land sinking had been
measured at nearly one-foot per year in one area, and that
it is reducing the flow capacity of the Delta-Mendota
Canal and the California Aqueduct, two key sources of
water.

NEW YORK Technology
experts say healing what ails the
Healthcare.gov website will be a
tougher task than the Obama
administration acknowledges.
Its going to cost a lot of tax
dollars to get this done, says Bill
Curtis, senior vice president and
chief scientist at CAST, a French
software analysis company with
ofces in the U.S.
Curtis says programmers and
systems analysts start xing trou-
bled websites by addressing the
glitches they can see. But based on
his analysis of the site, he believes
the ongoing repairs are likely to
reveal even deeper problems, mak-
ing it tough to predict when all the
sites issues will be resolved.
Will it eventually work? Yes,
because they have to make it
work, he says. But itll be very
expensive.
Curtis and other technology
executives say the sites problems
are the result of poor management
of its many working parts. They
also believe, as Congressional tes-
timony has revealed, the site suf-
fered from a lack of testing once all
its systems were in place.
The federal health insurance
exchange website which cost
taxpayers more than $600 million
to build, according to the
Government Accountability
Ofce has been crippled by tech-
nical problems since its Oct. 1
launch. Since then, everyone from
top White House ofcials to the
contractors who worked on the site
have been called before congres-
sional committees to determine
what went wrong and who is to
blame.
The White House originally
promised to have the site running
smoothly by the end of November.
But at a news conference last week,
President Obama said he couldnt
guarantee that the site will be com-
pletely bug free by then.
The HealthCare.gov site is sup-
posed to serve as a marketplace
where people can enter their per-
sonal information, search and sign
up for required health care coverage.
But the site is a patchwork quilt of
sorts. It pulls together a slew of
contributions from various govern-
ment contractors and attempts to
join the structure with the systems
of participating insurance compa-
nies.
Experts say the amount of infor-
mation coursing through
HealthCare.gov dwarfs that of any
other government website, making
it more similar to a high-trafc e-
commerce operation such as
Amazon.com or eBay. They con-
tend the government didnt design
the site with the kind of retail-like
infrastructure it needs to keep up
with demand and failed to knit its
pieces together in an efcient way.
Curtis says visible parts of the
websites programming code reveal
a host of analytic and data coordi-
nation failures a red ag that the
site wasnt designed by people with
a lot of experience building high-
trafc websites. He notes that gov-
ernment projects are typically
awarded to the lowest bid, a factor
that limits the amount of money a
contractor can make. As a result,
bid-winners dont always assign
their top people to those jobs.
Himanshu Sareen, CEO of Icreon
Tech, a New York-based web and
mobile design and development
firm, says the government has
made some progress xing the site
in recent weeks, but there are still
big problems.

President Barack Obama and chief
executives in the future.
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-
Nev., who orchestrated the change,
called the 52-48 vote a blow against
gridlock. Republicans warned
Democrats will eventually regret
their actions once political fortunes
are reversed and they can no longer
block appointments made by a GOP
president.
At the White House, Obama wel-
comed the shift. The gears of gov-
ernment have got to work, he said,
and he declared that Republicans had
increasingly used existing rules as
a reckless and relentless tool to
grind all business to a halt.
But Republicans warned of a
power grab by Democrats, some
predicting that worse was yet to
come. This drastic move sets a dan-
gerous precedent that could later be
expanded to speed passage of
expansive and controversial legis-
lation, said Sen. Richard Shelby of
Alabama. The days change
involved presidential appointees,
not legislation and not Supreme
Court nominees.
The immediate impact was to
ensure post-Thanksgiving conr-
mation for Patricia Millett, one of
Obamas three stalled nominees for
the District of Columbia Circuit of
the U.S. Court of Appeals, and for
others whom Republicans have
blocked.
Democrats vote to curb filibusters on appointees

WASHINGTON Astronomers
call it the monster. It was the
biggest and brightest cosmic
explosion ever witnessed. Had it
been closer, Earth would have been
toast.
Because the blast was 3.7 billion
light-years away, mankind was
spared. But orbiting telescopes
got the reworks show of a life-
time in April.
The only bigger display
astronomers know of was the Big
Bang that created the universe, and
no one was around to see that.
What happened was a gamma ray
burst, an explosion that happens
when a massive star dies, collapses
into a brand-new black hole, cre-
ates a supernova and ejects ener-
getic radiation that is as bright as
can be as it travels across the uni-
verse at the speed of light.
NASA telescopes in orbit have
been seeing these types of bursts
for more than two decades, spot-
ting one every couple of days. But
this one was special. It set records,
according to four studies published
Thursday in the journal Science.
It flooded NASA instruments
with ve times the energy as its
nearest competitor, a blast in
1999, said University of Alabama
at Huntsville astrophysicist Rob
Preece, author of one of the stud-
ies.
It started with a star that has 20
to 30 times the mass of our sun, but
is only a couple of times bigger in
width, so it is incredibly dense. It
exploded in a certain violent way.
In general, gamma ray bursts are
the most titanic explosions in the
universe, and the one witnessed
last spring was so big some of the
telescope instruments hit their
peak, Preece said. It was far
stronger and lasted longer than
previous ones.
I call it the monster, Preece
said. And he wasnt alone. One of
the other studies, not written by
Preece, used the word monster in
its title, unusual language for a sci-
entic report.
One of the main reasons this was
so bright was that relative to the
thousands of other gamma ray
bursts astronomers have seen, the
monster was pretty close, even at
3.7 billion light-years. A light-
year is almost 6 trillion miles.
Most of the bursts NASA tele-
scopes have seen have been twice
as distant as this one. Other explo-
sions could be this big, but are so
much farther away, they dont seem
so bright when they get to Earth,
the studies authors say.
Astronomers say its incredibly
unlikely that a gamma ray burst
especially a big one like this
could go off in our galaxy, near us.
Harvards Avi Loeb, who wasnt
part of the studies, put the odds at
at least 1 in 10 million.
Also, a burst has to be pointing
at you to be seen and to be danger-
ous. Its concentrated like a
focused searchlight or death beam.
Planets caught in one would lose
their atmospheres instantly and
would be left a burnt cinder,
astronomers say.
Either its pointed at us or its
not, Preece said. If its not, yay!
Civilization survives and we see
maybe a supernova. If it were
pointed at us, then it matters very
much how far away it is in our
galaxy. If its in our local arm,
well, we had a good run.

WASHINGTON Rules against making
cellphone calls during airline ights are
outdated, and its time to change them,
federal regulators said Thursday, drawing
immediate howls of protest from flight
attendants, airline ofcials and others.
Tom Wheeler, the new chairman of the
Federal Communications Commission,
said in a statement that the commission
was proposing greater in-ight access to
mobile broadband. The proposal will be
considered at the commissions Dec. 12
meeting.
The time is right to review our outdated
and restrictive rules, Wheeler said, adding
that modern technologies can deliver
mobile services in the air safely and reli-
ably.
The proposal would also allow passen-
gers to use their smartphones to send
email, text and download data. The propos-
al would apply to ights when they are over
10,000 feet in altitude, but not during take-
offs and landings.
The move came just 16 days after
Wheeler, a former lobbyist for the cellular
telephone industry, took over the post of
FCC chairman. The proposal to ease cell-
phone restrictions was greeted enthusiasti-
cally by the Telecommunications Industry
Association.
The association supports initiatives to
make mobile broadband services, including
Internet access, available to passengers
and ight crews aboard commercial airlin-
ers and private aircraft, Grant Seiffert,
president of the trade group, said. Already,
substantial (information and communica-
tions technology) manufacturer and vendor
interest exists in this space, and our mem-
bers are investing in related opportunities
for growth internationally.
But early reaction from the airline indus-
try and labor unions was skeptical. Flight
attendants and others have worried that a
plane full of chattering passengers could
lead to arguments and undermine safety.
Passengers overwhelmingly reject cell-
phone use in the aircraft cabin. The FCC
should not proceed with this proposal, the
Association of Flight Attendants said in a
statement in response to the FCC chair-
mans comments.
In far too many operational scenarios,
passengers making phone calls could
extend beyond a mere nuisance, creating
negative effects on aviation safety and
security that are great and far too risky,
the ight attendants group said.
Our customer feedback indicates people
may not want that policy, but of course
tastes and desires change, JetBlue
spokesman Morgan Johnston said in an
email. We would prioritize making the
cabin comfortable and welcoming for all
for those who want cell service and for
those who like peace and quiet.
Henry H. Harteveldt, a travel analyst with
Hudson Crossing, said, There are bad
ideas, and then theres this.
Unlike the ability to use their personal
electronics and Wi-Fi from gate to gate,
passengers dont want this, he added. The
constant chatter of passengers on their
mobile phones has the potential to further
increase tension among already stressed-
out passengers. It will be a catalyst for
increased cases of air rage.
Airline pilot and blogger Patrick Smith
said permitting phone calls on planes
introduces yet another stress factor into
an already stressful environment.
Airports already are such loud places,
he said. Its the airplane itself, ironically,
that is often the most quiet and peaceful
part of the air travel experience. Is that
about to change?
Should the FCC lift its restrictions on
cellphone use, airlines would still have the
option of deciding whether to equip planes
with picocells small, satellite base sta-
tions to handle calls. American Airlines
spokeswoman Andrea Huguely said the air-
line will wait to see what the FCC does.
However, our Wi-Fi at this time doesnt
allow voice calls.
In October, the Federal Aviation
Administration lifted restrictions on the
use of most personal electronic devices dur-
ing takeoffs and landings, but not cell-
phone calls, which fall under the FCC.
Govt weighs permitting cellphone calls on planes
ROBERT E. CAREY
Judge Robert E. Carey (April 27,
1920-November 16, 2013) passed away peacefully
surrounded by his family at his home in Atherton,
California on November 16, 2013, at the age of 93.
Robert Carey was born in Chico, California
and grew up in Oakland, California, where he
graduated from Oakland High School in 1938.
In 1941, he graduated from the University of
California, Berkeley with a degree in Economics.
While at Berkeley, he was President of the
Newman Club and Chairman of the Central
Pacic Province of the International Newman
Club Federation.
Thereafter, he enlisted in the United States
Army Air Corps, where he instructed cadets in
ight training as a pilot instructor and served overseas as a pilot of B-29s with the 20th Army
Air Corps in the Pacic Theatre.
While in the Army Air Corps, Robert married the love of his life, Helen J. Carey, whom he
had met while they both were undergraduates at the University of California, Berkeley.
After the war, he attended the University of San Francisco School of Law, graduating in
1948 and was admitted to the State Bar of California in 1949. After a short stint in private
practice, he entered the Civil Division of the San Mateo County District Attorneys Ofce in
1950. Subsequently, he transferred to the Criminal Division of the District Attorneys Ofce
in San Mateo County and ultimately became Chief Criminal Deputy District Attorney in 1959.
In 1969, he was appointed to be a Judge of the Municipal Court in San Mateo County by
Governor Ronald Reagan and in 1971, he was elected to the Ofce of Judge of the Superior
Court in the County of San Mateo. In 1989, he retired from the bench and continued to
participate in the practice of law in an of counsel capacity with the Law Firm of Carey & Carey
in Palo Alto, California until 2008.
During his lifetime, he volunteered his time and held leadership positions in numerous
organizations including the Boy Scouts of America, Catholic Social Services in San Mateo
County, Sequoia Kiwanis Club and the Native Sons of the Golden West.
Robert enjoyed traveling, photography, and especially had a love of ying and aviation.
He was an ardent fan of sporting events, most particularly the Cal football and basketball
teams which he supported through the ups and downs of their records and success. He spent
countless enjoyable hours playing golf with his friends at Sharon Heights Golf and Country
Club, where he was a charter member.
Most of all, he was a man of deep faith who truly enjoyed people and loved spending time
with his family and friends. He had a kind and gentle soul, a loving and generous heart, and
was always giving to others.
An exceptionally caring and devoted husband and father, Robert Carey, is survived by his
wife of 69 years, Helen J. Carey, and his children, Ann E. Carey of Menlo Park, California,
Thomas J. Carey of San Carlos, California, and Robert E. Carey, Jr. (Kay) of Palo Alto, California.
He was a proud grandfather of two granddaughters, Michelle Carey and Elizabeth Carey. He
was predeceased by his sister, Frances Stephens.
A Rosary will be held at 7:00 p.m, with visitation beginning at 6:00 p.m., on Monday, November
25, 2013, at St. Denis Church,2250 Avy Avenue, Menlo Park. The Mass will be celebrated at
10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, November 26, 2013 at St. Denis Church, with a reception following. In
lieu of owers, the family suggests a donation be made in Roberts memory to Corpus Christi
Monastery (215 Oak Grove Avenue, Menlo Park, CA 94025) or to your charity of choice.

WASHINGTON A Senate panel on
Thursday advanced Janet Yellens nomina-
tion to lead the Federal Reserve, setting up
a nal vote in the full Senate after lawmak-
ers return from a two-week Thanksgiving
break.
The Senate Banking Committee approved
her nomination on a 14-8 vote. Sen. Joe
Manchin, D-V.Wa., was the only Democrat
to oppose Yellens nomination. Republican
Sens. Bob Corker of Tennessee, Tom
Coburn of Oklahoma and Mark Kirk of
Illinois supported her.
Yellens path to confirmation also
became easier on Thursday when the full
Senate voted to change its rules for approv-
ing all presidential nominees other than
Supreme Court selections. Now a simple
majority will be required, instead of 60
votes.
Republicans could still try to delay the
final vote to focus attention on other
issues. For example, Sen. Lindsey Graham
has threatened to hold up nominations for
government positions until survivors of
last years deadly attack on the diplomatic
post in Libya appear before Congress.
But Democrats control 55 votes in the
chamber, so such tactics could easily be
overcome.
Yellen was nominated by President
Barack Obama in October to succeed Ben
Bernanke, whose second four-year term as
chairman will end Jan. 31.
She would be the rst woman to lead the
Fed and the rst Democrat to do so since
Paul Volcker stepped down in 1987. She
made clear at the committees hearing last
week that shes prepared to support the
Feds extraordinary efforts to bolster the
economy until there are clear signs of a sus-
tained rebound and further improvement in
the job market.

OPINION 9
Tear down the trees, Terry?
Editor,
Caltrans introduced the rst phase
of a multi-phase plan to tear down all
the trees along El Camino from
Floribunda north and widen El
Camino Real, which was presented at
the Burlingame Library Tuesday night
(Frustration mounts over Caltrans
safety project in the Nov. 21 edition
of the Daily Journal). It was shocking
to hear Councilwoman Terry Nagel
apologize to Caltrans for citizens
who were asking questions about
Caltrans motives and the lack of data
or information from the Caltrans rep-
resentatives. Clearly, she could not
hear her citizens through the sound of
the upcoming chain saw.
Timberjack Terry has failed to real-
ize that Burlingame is the only city
with a tree-lined main route through
our city as our neighbors to the north
and south have few to no trees at all,
let alone heritage trees. Our clear-cut-
ting Councilwoman Nagel has no
concept on Caltrans plans for a
Burlingame moonscape corridor.
Thanks to Mayor Keighran for step-
ping up for the citizens. When our
councilwoman cannot hear what the
citizens are saying, then maybe its
not the trees that should be cut.

Goliath versus the trees
Editor,
This week, Goliath aka Caltrans
tried to pull a fast one on the citizens
of Burlingame. Under the disguise of
a safety improvement hearing, they
were starting phase one of removing
the trees and widening El Camino in
this fair town. The feisty and smart
residents came out in force with ques-
tions and ideas to solve the problem,
but Goliath caught at-footed could
not or maybe would not answer a sin-
gle technical question. Townspeople
pressed further and questioned why
big money was being spent when the
problem would be solved with a sim-
ple changing of the signal lights.
Again, no answer by Goliath. Our tax
money is being wasted and our public
safety is put on hold due to Caltrans
unchecked arrogance. Thank you to
Mayor Ann Kieghran for demanding
answers. Jeers for soon-to-be ex-
councilwoman Terry Nagel, who took
Goliaths side.

Stained surfaces of
Burlingame Avenue sidewalks
Editor,
The Burlingame Avenue upgrade is
progressing slowly, and I am looking
forward to this urban improvement.
The wide sidewalks, made of three
shades of gray stone, are nice, at least
when just a few weeks old.
The quite new sidewalk at the south-
east corner of Park Road and
Burlingame Avenue already shows a
surface stained by smashed chewing
gum, dog dropping remains, dried
coffee and other dark stains, splotch-
es of melted and dried ice cream
deposits and so on. Just check it out.
Question: Is there civic will and
money that will provide periodic
cleaning of the new sidewalks, per-
haps monthly?

A
fter the disappointment of
the third plenum of the
Chinese Communist Party,
the announcement of sweeping
changes aimed at remaking the econ-
omy will help restore perceptions of
President Xi Jinping as a serious
reformer in the mold of Deng
Xiaoping. Dengs foresight trans-
formed the country from an agrarian
backwater into the worlds second
biggest economy.
The long-overdue relaxation of the
ruthlessly applied one-child policy,
imposed 34 years ago, is gaining
most attention. While highly signif-
icant, it is one part of an ambitious
blueprint covering 60 major
reforms, with the potential to
change the face of China. The
reforms should liberalize its finan-
cial sector, making it more hos-
pitable to private enterprise.
Much has been left unchanged. The
foundations of government control
over the economy, including the col-
lective ownership of land and
Communist Party control of state-
owned enterprises, remain. So does
one-party rule, with no dissent or
democracy permitted.
The judicial reforms are welcome,
especially the end of the draconian
re-education labor camps in which
people were arbitrarily imprisoned
without formal arrest or trial.
As a symbol of the change, noth-
ing is more significant than the
relaxation of the one-child policy.
The abolition of what has been a
gross violation of human rights and
an intrusion into family life is being
mooted as an adjustment and perfec-
tion of the family planning policy.
Such spin cannot disguise the demo-
graphic imbalances caused by the
policy.
These have eroded economic
growth and created a rapidly aging
population the country has little
hope of supporting. China would
probably have another 400 million
people without the one-child policy.
There is a surplus of 25 million sin-
gle males and the working-age popu-
lation is shrinking. China has 200
million elderly people and the num-
ber is rising.
Wisely, Xi has recognized the need
to confront such imbalances. His
liberalizing blueprint has the poten-
tial to be as important as Dengs
1978 initiation of the so-called
capitalism with Chinese character-
istics policy. But Xi is yet to grasp
the nettle of how to deal with the
dissent and demand for political
change arising from the countrys
economic success.
A real leap forward for China
A Good Samaritan
I
t may seem to most that the Samaritan House has
always been in San Mateo just as it may seem
that San Mateo has always had John Kelly, the
nonprofits first director.
However, that is not the case. Over the years,
Samaritan House has trenched itself in the San Mateo
community as a safety net for so many who otherwise
have nowhere else to turn.
So it was with great interest that I read, John Kelly,
Samaritan by Tom Huening, a former San Mateo
County supervisor and
controller when a copy
of it landed on my desk
earlier this fall.
As someone who has
worked as a journalist in
this area for 16 years, I
am familiar with the
Samaritan House and
John Kelly, and first
encountered him at a San
Mateo City Council
meeting where he was
requesting money from
the citys Community
Development Block
Grant funding for a host
of critical programs. His
booming voice is dis-
tinct and eloquent at the
same time and it was hard to argue with his rationale
for wanting the money. And so the council gave it to
him.
When he retired a few years back, the Samaritan
House got a new director and moved to a new location.
However, its mission remains largely the same pro-
vide basic things to those in need, whether it be cloth-
ing, food or general assistance. In doing so, it eases
the burden on governmental agencies who otherwise
would have to contend with the myriad issues that
derive from when people remain needy.
I knew that Kelly was a former Catholic priest, but
not much else about his early history. But thanks to
the Huenings hard work and dedication, the entire
story is revealed. The book project took about 14
months and Huening spent about 20 hours with Kelly
for interviews. He also interviewed 158 people for
comments, stories and specifics. He went to press in
August.
The story centers on Kellys recent efforts with
restorative justice at San Quentin State Prison.
Restorative justice is essentially the focus on healing
after a crime has been committed. And that means treat-
ing prisoners with respect and dignity. It is controver-
sial in some circles and it doesnt work in every
instance. There has to be a strong desire on the part of
the prisoner. But it is a strong element to Kellys
recent work.
But the story is also a biography and follows Kelly
as a young boy through to the priesthood and his work
at Serra High School before he decided to leave the
Catholic church.
That was a principled and courageous move,
Huening said of Kellys decision.
From there, it follows his path to leading the
Samaritan House and the challenges he faced in making
it work. Through charisma, passion, hard work and
dedication, Kelly was able to build Samaritan House
into the large-scale nonprofit social services organiza-
tion it is today.
It was after Kellys retirement as executive director of
Samaritan House that he was able to focus his attention
on restorative justice. And through this book, it is
revealed just how much this was a natural progression.
Huening is an efficient biographer and allows his
subject to tell his story with room for both humor and
conflict. The story moves along quickly and is inter-
spersed with anecdotes that help explain circumstances
and examples that deliver context. Through interviews
with friends and colleagues, Huening is able to add
color and breathe life into an already compelling tale
of transformation, passion and ideals.
For anyone familiar with the Samaritan House, its
work or is interested in the city of San Mateo and how
it has been changed by the life work of John Kelly,
this is a must-read.
Huenings goal is to contribute $10 of every $20
purchase price to the John Kelly Rotary Club scholar-
ship. The remainder covers the cost of printing.

NEWYORK The Dow Jones indus-
trial average nished above 16,000 for
the rst time Thursday as the blue-chip
index races toward its best performance
in a decade.
The Dow has been on re lately, pro-
pelled higher by a combination of solid
corporate earnings, a steadily strength-
ening economy and easy-money poli-
cies from the Federal Reserve.
Since the start of the year, the Dow is
up 22 percent and has now topped three
1,000 point milestones in 10 months.
It eclipsed 14,000 in February and
15,000 in May. If it holds onto its
gains, it would notch its strongest per-
formance since 2003.
The market has come a long way,
said Dan Seiver, an economist at San
Diego State University. Its a sign of
just how far nancial markets have
recovered.
The Dow has more than tripled since
its bear market low in March 2009.
Back then, the country was in the
worst downturn since the Great
Depression, the housing market had
collapsed and individual investors had
abandoned stocks.
Now, with the economy recovering
and confidence returning, small
investors are coming back in.
People are getting out of bonds into
stocks, said Steven Ricchiuto, chief
economist at Mizuho Securities. Were
in the early stages of a recovery.
The Dow rose 109.17 points, or 0.7
percent, to close at 16,009.99
Thursday. The Standard & Poors 500
index rose 14.48 points, or 0.8 per-
cent, to 1,795.85. The Nasdaq compos-
ite rose 47.88 points, or 1.2 percent, to
3,969.15.
In a sign that investors are taking on
more risk, small-company stocks rose
at a much faster pace than the rest of the
market. The Russell 2000 index jumped
19.83 points, or 1.8 percent, to
1, 119.62.
The Labor Department reported
before the market opened that applica-
tions for unemployment benefits
dropped last week to the lowest level
since September. The number of appli-
cations is close to where it was before
the Great Recession.
General Motors rose after the U.S.
government said it expects to sell its
remaining stake in the company by the
end of the year. The Treasury
Department got shares after bailing out
GM ve years ago, but once its sells,
the automaker will be free of restric-
tions on executive pay that came with
the bailout. It would also be free to pay
dividends if it chooses.
GM gained 43 cents, or 1.1 percent,
to $38.12. The stock is up 32 percent
this year.
Having the Treasury out is probably
something that is going to be positive
for the shares, said Jeff Morris, head of
U.S. equities at Standard Life
Investments. Some investors are
probably a bit spooked by having a
meaningful amount of government
ownership.
Johnson Controls was among the
biggest gainers in the S&P 500. The
company, which makes heating and
ventilation systems for buildings, said
its board approved a $3 billion increase
in its share buyback program. The com-
pany rose $2.13, or 4.4 percent, to
$50.35.

NEWYORK Gap Inc. reported a 9.4 per-
cent increase in third-quarter earnings, but
the fashion retailer maintained a conserva-
tive annual prot outlook that suggests a
tough holiday quarter ahead.
Like many retailers, Gap, which operates
stores under names including its namesake,
Old Navy, Banana Republic and Athleta, is
heading into a ercely competitive holiday
shopping season where merchants are ramp-
ing up sales. Gap has been doing its part by
offering constant discounts and is trying to
lure shoppers with an incentive that lets
customers earn $25 for every $50 they
spend through Friday
The results, nevertheless, were among a
few bright spots in a third-quarter earnings
season that has many retailers including
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Kohls Corp. low-
ering their guidance in an uncertain econo-
my. Teen retailer Abercrombie & Fitch
reported earlier Thursday a loss in its third
quarter, dragged down in part by charges
related to closing its Gilly Hicks stores. The
teen retailers sales softened and it said sales
weakness continues in the fourth quarter.
Theres a little bit of fatigue out there
when it comes to consumers so the question
is, Are we disappointed in the consumer
sentiment, or ... have we really not been
innovative in order to give consumers a
value proposition that doesnt look like
wallpaper, day in, day out,? Glenn
Murphy, Gaps CEO, told investors on a
conference call after the results came out late
Thursday.
Murphy added, I think weve done a good
job at Gap Inc. I think we can do a better job
going forward.
Pandora posts 3Q loss,
revenue up 50 percent
LOS ANGELES Shares of Pandora
Media Inc. slipped Thursday after the
Internet radio leader gave an outlook for the
three months through January that was
short of Wall Streets forecast.
Chief Financial Ofcer Mike Herring said,
however, that the impact from the Sept. 18
launch of Apple Inc.s rival iTunes Radio
was modest. Pandora noticed a quick dip in
users, followed by stabilization and recov-
ery in October, he said.
It said a lot, we think, of the resilience
and value of the Pandora brand, he told the
Associated Press.
The company based in Oakland posted a
loss in the quarter through Oct. 31 of $1.7
million, or a penny per share. Excluding
stock-based compensation and other items,
earnings came to 6 cents per share, match-
ing the forecast of analysts polled by
FactSet.
Revenue rose 50 percent to $180.4 mil-
lion, beating the $177 million expected by
analysts.
Jury orders Samsung
to pay Apple $290 million
SAN JOSE A Silicon Valley jury on
Thursday added $290 million more to the
damages Samsung Electronics owes Apple
for copying vital iPhone and iPad features,
bringing the total amount the South Korean
technology titan is on the hook for to $930
million.
The verdict covers 13 older Samsung
devices that a previous jury found were
among 26 Samsung products that infringed
Apple patents.
The previous jury awarded Apple $1.05
billion. But U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh
ordered the new trial and tossed out $450
million of the damages after concluding that
jury miscalculated the amount Samsung
owed.

GENEVA Iran nuclear talks entered a
delicate phase Thursday as negotiators tried
to ne-tune a draft agreement that would
limit Tehrans atomic program in return for
easing some sanctions. Irans ability to pro-
duce nuclear fuel and relief for Irans oil and
banking sectors appeared to be among the
sticking points.
Renewed opposition from influential
members of the U.S. Congress to any deal
they feel gives the Iranians too much for too
little complicated the diplomatic maneuver-
ing. The Democratic-led Senate signaled
Thursday it would only give President
Barack Obama until next month before
pressing ahead with new Iran sanctions, and
a key Republican introduced legislation to
limit the presidents future negotiating abil-
ity with Tehran.
Participants at the talks refused to spell
out what was standing in the way of a deal.
But Iranian statements and remarks from
Western ofcials suggested they included
nding mutually acceptable language on
whether Iran has a right to enrich uranium, a
technology that can produce both reactor
fuel and nuclear warhead material.
Sanctions relief was also an issue.
The United States and its allies have sig-
naled they are ready to ease some sanctions
in return for a rst-step deal that contains
Irans nuclear program. But they insist that
the most severe penalties on Tehrans oil
exports and banking sector will remain
until the two sides reach a comprehensive
agreement to minimize Irans nuclear arms-
making capacity.
Iran says it does not want such weapons
and has indicated its ready to start rolling
back its program but wants greater and faster
sanctions relief than that being offered.
A senior U.S. ofcial told reporters last
week that Iran is losing $5 billion a month
in lost oil sales alone and $120 billion in
total from all sanctions since their imposi-
tion, although he did not give a time frame.
The ofcial demanded anonymity in keeping
with rules established by the U.S. adminis-
tration.
The White House has not publicly provid-
ed a gure, but congressional ofcials said
Wednesday the administration estimates
Iran could get $6 billion to $10 billion in
sanctions relief over six months as a rst
step, with additional relief depending on
progress made toward a nal deal. The of-
cials on condition of anonymity because
they werent authorized to divulge the esti-
mate publicly.
Several Democrat and Republican senators
have voiced displeasure with the parameters
of the potential agreement, arguing that the
U.S. and its partners are offering too much
for Iranian action that stops short of a full
freeze on uranium enrichment.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid warned
Thursday that the Iranians could prevent any
successful deal from emerging without the
threat of new oil and nancial penalties. He
said the Senate must move forward with new
sanctions after returning from a two-week
recess next month.
Iran nuke talk issues: Enrichment, sanctions
By Jamie Stengle
DALLAS Loose gatherings of the curi-
ous and conspiracy-minded at Dallas
Dealey Plaza have marked past anniver-
saries of the assassination of President
John F. Kennedy, featuring everything
from makeshift memorials to marching
drummers to discussions about who else
might have been in on the killing.
But in the place where the presidents
motorcade passed through and shots rang
out on Nov. 22, 1963, a solemn ceremony
on the 50th anniversary of his death
designed to avoid such distractions will
include brief remarks by the mayor and the
tolling of church bells.
Its an approach that will be mirrored
Friday in Boston, where the JFK Library
and Museum will open a small exhibit of
never-before-displayed items from
Kennedys state funeral and host a musical
tribute that will be closed to the public,
and in Washington, where President
Barack Obama will meet privately at the
White House with leaders and volunteers
from the Kennedy-established Peace Corps
program.
Its 50 years later and its also a
moment to look forward to the future, said
Thomas Putnam, executive director of the
library, which usually doesnt observe the
anniversary. We want our tone to be
respectful and we want it to have a certain
reverence, but we also want it to be hopeful
and end on this notion of what JFK stood
for.
The committee convened by current
Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings to plan the
citys event wanted to focus in a positive
way more on the legacy of President
Kennedy, said Ron Kirk, a former mayor
and member of the panel.
About 5,000 tickets were issued for the
free ceremony in Dealey Plaza, which is
flanked by the Texas School Book
Depository building where sniper Lee
Harvey Oswald perched on the sixth floor
in 1963.
Fridays event will include readings from
the presidents speeches by author David
McCullough. In a nod to Kennedys mili-
tary service, the U.S. Naval Academy
Mens Glee Club will perform and there
will be an Air Force flyover. Amoment of
silence will be held at 12:30 p.m., when
the president was shot.
There was no shortage of events in
Dallas this year marking the anniversary,
including panels with journalists and oth-
ers who witnessed the events of the day,
special concerts and museum exhibits.
As press aide for Texas Gov. John
Connally, Julian Read was in a media bus
several vehicles behind the presidential
limousine. After the gunshots, he watched
as the vehicle carrying the president and
wounded governor sped away. Read
released a book this year recounting his
experience and has attended several of the
events, which he called cathartic.
Even though there are all those melan-
choly thoughts, the way its shaping up ...
gives me more of a comfort than any time
since 1963, said Read, who will return to
Dealey Plaza on Friday.
John Judge, executive director of the
Coalition on Political Assassinations,
first came to Dealey Plaza to mark the fifth
anniversary of JFKs death in 1968.
Judges group, which believes
Kennedys death was part of a conspiracy,
usually gathers on the plazas grassy
knoll for a moment of silence at 12:30
p.m. Since itll be blocked off this year,
Judge says hes reached a livable agree-
ment with the city in which theyll gather
a few blocks away and move to the plaza
after the official ceremony ends.
The group has made T-shirts for the occa-
sion with the slogan, 50 years in denial is
enough and an image like that of Kennedy
on the half-dollar coin, except with a bul-
let hole in his head and blood.

KABUL, Afghanistan President Hamid
Karzai urged tribal elders Thursday to
approve a security pact with Washington
that could keep thousands of U.S. troops in
Afghanistan until 2024, but he added a wrin-
kle that he prefers his successor sign the
document after elections next April.
Karzais move could be an attempt to
avoid taking personal responsibility for an
agreement that many Afghans see as selling
out to foreign interests.
His remarks to the 2,500 members of the
consultative council known as the Loya
Jirga came as President Barack Obama made
a personal plea for quick passage of the
agreement in a letter promising to respect
Afghanistans sovereignty and only raid
homes when U.S. lives are at risk.
The Loya Jirga is widely expected to
approve the agreement, and Karzais
remarks could be seen as last-minute move
to force the gathering to ask him to sign the
long-delayed accord thus shifting the
responsibility for the deal away from him to
the elders. The White House urged that the
security pact be signed by the end of the
year, with spokesman Josh Earnest saying a
failure to nalize an agreement in the com-
ing weeks would prevent the United States
and our allies from being able to plan for a
post-2014 presence in Afghanistan.
Military leaders in the U.S. and NATO
widely acknowledge that the nearly
350,000-member Afghan National Security
Forces are not yet ready to take on the
Taliban alone after a war that has lasted
more than 12 years. The Afghan forces,
however, have held their ground this sum-
mer after taking control of security around
the country from foreign forces.
Senior U.S. military ofcials have repeat-
edly stressed that Afghan forces still need at
least three to four years of training and men-
toring take on a resilient Taliban insur-
gency that shows no sign of abating or
compromising. U.S.-backed attempts to
start peace talks with the Taliban have failed
so far.

SEOUL, South Korea North Korean
ofcials detained an 85-year-old U.S. veter-
an of the Korean War last month as he sat in
a plane set to leave the country, the mans
son said.
Auniformed North Korean ofcer boarded
the plane on Oct. 26 and asked Merrill
Newman, a tourist, for his passport before
telling a stewardess that Newman had to
leave the plane, the son, Jeffrey Newman,
said Wednesday.
My dad got off, walked out with the stew-
ardess, and thats the last he was seen,
Jeffrey Newman told the Associated Press at
his home in California.
It wasnt clear what led to the detention.
The son said he was speaking regularly with
the U.S. State Department about his father,
but U.S. officials wouldnt confirm the
detention to reporters, citing privacy
issues.
North Koreas official state-run media
have yet to comment on reports of the
detention, which rst appeared in the San
Jose Mercury News and Japans Kyodo News
service.
Secretary of State John Kerry told
MSNBC on Thursday in response to a ques-
tion about Newman that North Korea needed
to recognize the dangerous steps that its
been taking on many fronts, including the
treatment of its citizens and the start-up of
its nuclear reactor.

U,K, police: Three
women held captive for 30 years
LONDON Three women have been
freed after spending 30 years held captive
in a south London home, including one
woman believed to have spent her entire
life in domestic slavery, police said
Thursday.
Londons Metropolitan Police
announced the rescues after two people a
man and a woman, both 67 were arrested
early Thursday on suspicion of forced labor
and domestic servitude. The suspects were
later released on bail.
The arrests were part of a slavery investi-
gation launched after one of the women
contacted a charity last month to say she
was being held against her will along with
two others.
The charity went to the police, and the
women a 69-year-old Malaysian, a 57-
year-old Irish woman and a 30-year-old
Briton were freed on Oct. 25.
Kevin Hyland, head of the Metropolitan
Polices human trafficking unit, said the
women are highly traumatized, having
had no real exposure to the outside world
for the past 30 years.

pened over three decades will understand-

which makes it capital, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
In another twist, although one of the
home occupants fatally shot accomplice
Bryant Ma, California law allows Vo and
Lee to be charged with his murder because
they were allegedly participating in a
felonious crime that led to the 23-year-
olds death.
The incident happened
around 11:30 p.m. Sept.
4 on the 1500 block of
Lodi Avenue, near South
Norfolk Street east of
Highway 101. Police say
the three suspects entered
the home where they con-
fronted four others and
gunre erupted.
Prosecutors allege the suspects entered
the home to rob the residents of drugs and
money and demanded one
victim to open his safe.
Prosecutors say he
instead got out a gun and
opened fire on the sus-
pects.
Two people were shot
Ma and the 24-year-old
resident who shot him
and the suspects ed in a
dark SUV. Ma was dead on
arrival at Regional Medical Center of San
Jose and Lee was treated for a non-life
threatening shot. Hospital personnel alert-
ed police who connected them to the San
Mateo shooting. Adark blue SUVwas locat-
ed in the hospital parking lot.
On Thursday, both Vo and Lee pleaded not
guilty to all charges but delayed setting a
preliminary hearing until after defense
attorneys can nish reading the reports.
They return to court Dec. 16.
Both men remain in custody without bail.

MURDER
At Monday nights meeting, the council
will consider approving the purchase and
sale agreements for the three parcels. The
$13,690,000 total is $80 per square foot
and include $4.85 million for 595
Industrial Road, $5.34 million for 850 E.
San Carlos Ave. and $3.5 million for 810
E. San Carlos Ave. Each is separately
owned but represented by a single broker
who has also brought forward several
interested developers.
The funding for 595 Industrial Road
would come from the citys Strategic
Property Acquisition Reserve Fund while
the other two are subject to the citys abil-
ity to get private financing, according to a
report by Community Development
Director Al Savay.
The financing proposals are expected to
come back to a City Council meeting in
January 2014.
The Industrial Road property has a sin-
gle-story, 32,000-square-foot building
and four tenants. Under the agreement,
tenant First Down Promotions can contin-
ue occupying the property for $1 per
month through June 15, 2014, or the final
close of escrow of the other two proper-
ties.
Nine tenants currently occupy 850 E.
San Carlos Ave. and there are none in 810
E. San Carlos Ave. The citys economic
development consultants estimates relo-
cation costs shouldnt be more than
$400, 000.
New zoning district
The potential buy comes a few months
after the City Council in a split 3-2 vote
created a new zoning district, a decision
that overrode the Planning Commission
recommendation to largely leave the area
at the citys gateway alone. Mayor Bob
Grassilli and Councilman Matt Grocott
opposed creating the new landmark com-
mercial district along Highway 101.
As defined, the new district allows uses
that have significant beneficial results in
employment growth and contribute to the
economic sustainability of the city and
implementation of the citys economic
development plan. All others will require
conditional use permits.
At the time, property owners decried the
proposal as bad for business and city staff
highlighted the need for the sales tax and
transient occupancy tax that comes with a
hotel.
According to Savays report for the
council meeting, general fund revenue
could be a million or more based on con-
servative projections.
Gateway landmark sites
The city has looked at redeveloping the
properties at the gateway intersection of
Holly Street and Industrial Road since the
early 1990s and in 1991 labeled them
landmark sites in its East San Carlos
Specific Plan.
The roots of the most recent debate
began in March when a proposal was sub-
mitted for a 45,000-square-foot fitness
center with 300 parking spaces. The exist-
ing zoning allowed the use without greater
scrutiny or permits, causing the City
Council to hit pause with an emergency
ordinance on development. The council
did not extend the moratorium and the
Planning Commission, after two meet-
ings, voted against creating the entirely
new district. That decision came after
property owners and real estate experts
said that waiting for a hotel that might
never transpire is harming business in the
meantime.
Hotel interest
Councilman Ron Collins said Savay and
City Manager Jeff Maltbie knew at the
time hotel interest was knocking on the
citys proverbial door but were required to
bite their tongue.
With the possibility of a hotel looking
more realistic, Collins said hes encour-
aged by the potential of a very nice
development producing a fair amount of
revenue for the city. Like Olbert, he also
considers the city acting as buying mid-
dleman a reasonable risk.
Its a consideration but this is an
extremely valuable piece of land and I
strongly suspect if the buyer we have in
mind doesnt want the property there will
be somebody else, Collins said.
In its request for proposals, the city has
named several factors used in the develop-
er selection process including fiscal bene-
fits, how much city assistance is needed
and the intention to work with the Greater
East San Carlos neighborhood and other
neighbors on the projects conceptual and
final design

ALAMED Oakland Raiders
rookie quarterback Matt McGloin
could be without his top receiver
when he makes his second NFL
start Sunday against Tennessee.
Denarius Moore missed his sec-
ond straight day of practice with a
shoulder injury he suffered during
last weeks win over Houston. If
hes unable to go, it would weaken
an already thin receiving corps.
Several guys need to step up,
Raiders coach Dennis Allen said
Thursday. Its just like every-
thing else weve had to deal with
as far as injuries are concerned.
Next man up. Somebodys going
to have to come out and perform.
Only two of Oaklands wide
receivers have caught more than
10 passes this season. Moore,
who has not missed a start since
being sidelined with a hamstring
injury for the season opener in
2012, is one of them.
The third-year wide receiver
leads the Raiders in catches,
receiving yardage and touchdowns
this season. He is the only
Oakland player to have a 100-yard
game this season and was attempt-
ing to become the rst Oakland
wide receiver to eclipse the 1,000-
yard mark since Randy Moss in
2005.
Moore might still get there but
will have to do it in fewer than 16
games if he misses the Titans
game.

SANTA CLARA The San
Francisco 49ers are unlikely to
host weeknight games at new
Levis Stadium next year in the
inaugural season of the venue, a
person with direct knowledge of
the stadium project said Thursday.
That would mean no appearances
on Monday Night Football or in
a Thursday night game at Santa
Clara next season. The person
spoke on condition of anonymity
because the NFL schedule isnt
released until spring and no deci-
sions have been formally
announced by the league or the
team.
Part of the thinking, the person
said, is to give everyone from sta-
dium operations personnel, law
enforcement, local businesses,
other support services and parking
facilities time to get accustomed
to traffic flow and other chal-
lenges. The first season in the
$1.2 billion stadium will be a
work in progress.
The 49ers will leave Candlestick
Park, where they have played
since 1971, after this season for
the new stadium at team headquar-
ters in Silicon Valley. Trafc in the
heavily occupied area of business-
es, residential housing and large
corporations and technology
companies makes for clogged sur-
face streets and freeways for much
of the day. While every NFL team
plays a Thursday night game, San
Francisco is bound to do so out-
side the Bay Area in 2014.
The 49ers will certainly have
many potential problems resolved
by the time the stadium hosts the
50th Super Bowl in February
2016.
The plan has been for
Candlestick Park to be imploded
sometime next year.

I am happy to be back in San
Francisco. Its the place that my
family and I have come to love,
Lopez wrote in an e-mail. The
Giants organization has been rst
class since I was rst traded in
2010. The fans especially have
been welcoming not only to me
but all of my teammates and their
support is unmatched in the major
leagues. They make for a wonderful
place to come and work.
Lopez agreed to terms two days
after San Francisco gave right-
hander Tim Hudson a $23 million,
two-year contract.
The 36-year-old Lopez went 4-2
with a 1.83 ERAin 69 appearances
and 39 1-3 innings this year, when
the Giants missed the playoffs one
season after winning their second
World Series in three seasons.
Lopez just completed an $8.5 mil-
lion, two-year contract signed that
paid him $4.25 million each sea-
son.
San Francisco acquired Lopez in
a swap that sent John Bowker and
Joe Martinez to the Pirates, and
Lopez emerged as a reliable option
for manager Bruce Bochy as the
club made an improbable run to the
49ers weeknight 14 home games unlikely

I n s u r a n c e S e r v i c e s
By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA Jim Harbaugh called
his players together Thursday and talked to
them about writing a new story.
This isnt the dramatic Super Bowl return
of a year ago. Its not the tale of Harbaughs
remarkable turnaround rst season as a head
coach when the San Francisco 49ers
snapped an eight-year playoff drought in
2011.
Harbaugh is doing his best to motivate
his players in the midst of a tough stretch,
while running back Frank Gore is calling on
his offensive teammates to do their part to
help save San Franciscos season before its
too late.
Gore acknowledged what must happen the
rest of the way winning for the reign-
ing NFC champion Niners (6-4) to return to
the playoffs let alone be in position to
chase another Super Bowl berth.
San Francisco has lost two straight for
the second time this season after a home
loss to Carolina, then a last-second 23-20
loss at New Orleans last Sunday. AMonday
night game at Washington looms, and Gore
and Co. realize they cannot afford to let
another game get away.
Weve lost two in a row. I know Monday
night, Washingtons going to be pumped
and were trying to get back on track to get
where we want to be, and thats to get to the
playoffs, Gore said. Everybodys got to
be on board. Everybodys got to make a
play when its there. ... Theyve lost close
games back-to-back and I know theyre des-
perate for a win. Were trying to get back on
track.
Just four total points have decided the
past two games for San Francisco, which
came out of its bye week riding a ve-game
winning streak during which quarterback
Colin Kaepernick and the offense had scored
31 or more points in each of those victo-
ries.
Theres a ne line between winning and
losing, fullback Bruce Miller said. In the
past, I think more so weve been on the
other side of that, the ball bounced our way
and weve made plays. Now, Coach
Harbaugh just talked about it. This is a dif-
ferent story, a different season. And were
still writing it. Were in the run, we just
have to be more opportunistic.
San Francisco has managed only 347
yards and Kaepernick has been sacked nine
times while throwing a pair of interceptions
during the losing streak.
Theres a lot of things this offense has to
do and its expected of us, Kaepernick said.
Harbaugh is standing by Kaepernick each
week, regardless of the result. Its been a
year since the coach chose to promote the
then-second-year pro over Alex Smith, now
with the Chiefs.
In respect to Kaepernicks lower produc-
tion the past two games, Harbaugh ques-
tions why critics would say Kaepernick is
struggling.
I think hes doing a heck of a job. Id be
puzzled why people would think that,
Harbaugh said. Whats most important is
what we see.
And, now, the 49ers will be mixing in a
new face on the offensive line. Adam Snyder
is expected to start at left guard in place of
Mike Iupati, who conrmed Thursday he
wont play because of a sprained left knee.
While the injury isnt considered season-
ending, he doesnt know how much time he
might miss and is still undergoing evalua-
tions. Iupati, the 17th overall pick in the
2010 draft who hasnt missed a start yet,
was using crutches with his knee in a bulky
brace and needed help from a teammate to
pull on his left sock.
Cornerback Carlos Rogers acknowledged
there can be frustration when the offense
goes three-and-out and the defense must
immediately go back out there, but added:
Were a tight family. We stick together. We
dont call people out.
Also Thursday, linebacker Ahmad Brooks
defended his hit on Saints quarterback Drew
Brees late in Sundays 23-20 loss that land-
ed Brooks a $15,570 ne. On Tuesday he
will appeal the penalty, his second such ne
this year for quarterback hits after clobber-
ing Green Bays Aaron Rodgers in the sea-
son opener.
Brooks has declined to accept contribu-
tions from Ray Lewis and Teddy Bruschi

NEW YORK Alex Rodriguezs griev-
ance hearing to overturn his 211-game sus-
pension ended Thursday after 12 days of ses-
sions, a day after the New York Yankees
third baseman angrily
walked out and decided
not to testify in his own
defense.
Rodriguezs lawyers
returned to Major League
Baseballs ofce for what
turned out to be the nal
day of the proceeding
before arbitrator Fredric
Horowitz. By the end of
the day, both sides had
rested their cases, a person familiar with the
proceeding told The Associated Press.
The person spoke on condition of
anonymity because no statements were
authorized.
The next step is for the sides to submit
briefs to Horowitz, which will complete the
record. The arbitrator then will decide
whether to sustain or alter the suspension
given to Rodriguez by MLB on Aug. 5 for
alleged violations of baseballs drug policy
and labor agreement.
A three-time AL MVP, Rodriguez left in
the middle of the 11th session Wednesday,
furious Horowitz refused to order baseball
Commissioner Bud Selig to testify. The
move, followed by angry statements accus-
ing Selig of bias and the entire arbitration
process of aws, appeared to be a prelude to
a lawsuit challenging whatever ruling
Horowitz makes.
Outside MLBs ofces Thursday, represen-
tatives of the New York Hispanic Clergy
Organization, including state Sen. Ruben
Diaz, held a prayer vigil to express opposi-
tion to Rodriguezs discipline.
Rodriguez lawyer James McCarroll issued
a statement Thursday pointing out that this
case is the rst grievance under the drug
agreement involving discipline that didnt
stem from a positive test and involved the
commissioners discretion and decision-
making. While he said the commissioner
in the past was harshly criticized in the
arbitrators decision for not voluntarily
appearing at a grievance, that statement
appears to refer to arbitrator George
Rodriguezs grievance
hearing is complete

Prince Fielder could have vetoed the
blockbuster swap of All-Star players that
sent him to the Texas Rangers less than two
years after signing his big deal with
Detroit.
The slugging rst baseman decided to take
the fresh start with a new team.
Obviously, its another good team,
Fielder said Thursday, a
day after being sent to
Texas for second base-
man Ian Kinsler. I didnt
think it was going to be a
bad thing and plus, most
of all, I thought it was
going to be good for
everyone. I just wanted
everyone to be happy.
Fielder was only two
seasons into the $214 million, nine-year
contract he signed with Detroit before the
2012 season, when the Rangers were also a
suitor. Their offer was nowhere close to
what the ve-time All-Star got then.
While playing all 324 regular-season
games for the Tigers the past two seasons,
Fielder hit .295 with 55 home runs and 214
RBIs. But his 25 homers this year were his
fewest over a full season, and he didnt drive
in a run in 11 postseason games before
Detroit lost the AL championship series to
Boston in six games.
It was cool. The season was ne. It is
what it is bro, Fielder said during a brief
conference call with Rangers beat writers.
You cant take it back. Everything is cool.
We got to the playoffs. Unfortunately we
didnt get where we wanted to go.
The Rangers plan to formally introduce
Fielder in a news conference Monday.
Fielder provides Texas manager Ron
Washington with a middle-of-the-order
threat in a lineup that still includes Adrian
Beltre and Alex Rios, lling one of the
teams primary offseason wants even before
baseballs winter meetings.
It gives us some direction the rest of our
offseason, general manager Jon Daniels
said late Wednesday night.
Fielder is a .286 career hitter with 285
homers and 870 RBIs in 1,322 games with
Milwaukee (2005-11) and Detroit (2012-
13). In 13 career games as an opponent at
Rangers Ballpark, he hit .265 with four
homers and 15 RBIs.
Before Fielder went to Detroit, he traveled
to Dallas to meet with Daniels and other
Rangers ofcials.
Daniels said that was helpful this week
Fielder sees his trade to
Rangers as a fresh start

MLB players union
head Michael Weiner dies at 51
NEWYORK Michael Weiner, the plain-
speaking, ever-positive labor lawyer who
took over as head of the powerful baseball
players union four years ago and smoothed
its perennially contentious relationship with
management, died Thursday, 15 months after
announcing he had been diagnosed with an
inoperable brain tumor. He was 51.
The Major League Players Association said
Weiner died at his home in Manseld
Township, N.J.
Earlier in the day, New York Yankees reliev-
er Mariano Rivera praised Weiner.
Michael is a tremendous person. Thats
why everybody loves him, Rivera said. He
can relate with every player and had time to
talk with every player.
As Weiners health deteriorated this sum-
mer, a succession plan was put in place.
Former big league All-Star Tony Clark took
over Thursday as acting executive director and
is to be approved as Weiners successor when
the unions board meets from Dec. 2-5 at La
Jolla, Calif.
Words cannot describe the love and affec-
tion that the players have for Michael, nor
can they describe the level of sadness we feel
today, Clark said in a statement. Not only
has the game lost one of its most important
and inuential leaders in this generation, all
involved in the game have lost a true
friend.
SPORTS 15
guys have been a factor for us and they need
to continue to be a factor for us.
McGloin, who passed for three touch-
downs without an interception in last
weeks 28-23 win over the Texans, didnt
seem too concerned. Since replacing
Terrelle Pryor as the Raiders starter, the for-
mer walk-on at Penn State said hes devel-
oped a pretty good rapport with his
receivers.
We talk all the time, McGloin said. My
lockers right next to Rod (Streater) and a
lot of the wideouts, so were constantly
talking about the game and were constant-
ly having fun. The communication has
never been an issue.
One option to replace Moore would be
Andre Holmes, who sat out the rst four
games of the year serving an NFL suspen-
sion after testing positive for a perform-
ance-enhancing substance.
Moore, however, has caught just one pass
in the four games since being added to the
53-man roster.
Seventh-round draft pick Brice Butler
could also see increased playing time
against Tennessee. The rookie caught at
least one pass in the rst six games of the
regular season before making a pair of cost-
ly drops against Pittsburgh on Oct. 27. Hes
played sparingly since.
Jacoby Ford opened the season third on
the depth chart but has also had problems
hanging onto the ball and has steadily seen
his playing time decrease. He has just 10
catches for the year and has played fewer
than 14 snaps in two of Oaklands past four
games.
The news was a little more encouraging
for Pryor, who started the Raiders rst nine
games before suffering a knee injury and
being replaced by McGloin.
Pryor remains limited in practice but is
showing signs of improvement.
I thought he moved around well, Allen
said. Well continue to monitor him
throughout the week and see how hes feel-
ing at the end of the week. Hopefully hes
healthy enough to go, and if he does, then
hell be up on Sunday.
Notes: Defensive end Jason Hunter, who
has two sacks, has not practiced this week
because of a foot injury. Running back
Darren McFadden and safety Tyvon Branch
were also held out.

Sports Brief
By Josh Dubow
SAN JOSE Tommy Wingels scored
two goals and Patrick Marleau added a
goal and two assists to help the San
Jose Sharks get their rst home win in
more than a month with a 5-1 victory
over the Tampa Bay Lightning on
Thursday night.
Brad Stuart and Brent Burns also
scored for the Sharks, who looked
well-rested after having three days off
following a winding, ve-game road
trip in which they changed time zones
after every game. Antti Niemi made 36
saves and Logan Couture had three
assists.
Tyler Johnson scored for the
Lightning, who dropped their season-
worst third straight game on a rough
West Coast trip that ends Friday night
in Anaheim. Tampa Bay has been
outscored 16-6 in losses to Phoenix,
Los Angeles and San Jose as they are
struggling since losing star center
Steven Stamkos to a broken right leg
last week.
Since beating Calgary on Oct. 19,
the Sharks have gone on a pair of ve-
game road trips around a winless three-
game homestand that featured a pair of
shootout losses.
They found their winning touch at
home again at the start of a season-
long ve-game homestand.
Wingels played a big part in his rst
career two-goal game.
He got the scoring started early in
the first period and then with the
Lightning making a strong push in the
second, Wingels added his second
goal.
Marleau found him with a slick pass
from behind the net and Wingels one-
timed it past Anders Lindback on the
short side for his seventh goal of the
season. Thats one shy of his career
total in 80 games coming into the sea-
son.
San Jose broke it open with two
goals in a 19-second span early in the
third. Burns, back after missing 13
games with an upper-body injury, got
the rst when Joe Thorntons deec-
tion of Scott Hannans shot-pass hit
his leg on the way into the net.
Marleau then scored his 11th goal
following the next faceoff to make it
5-0.
Lindback, making his fth start of
the season in place of Ben Bishop,
made 31 saves but got no offensive
support in the loss.
The Sharks got off to another fast
start with two goals in the rst period.
San Jose has outscored the opposition
30-12 in the rst, a big part of the
teams success in the rst quarter of the
season.
Coutures line got the Sharks started
as Couture and Marleau won a battle in
the corner to set up Wingels for his
sixth goal of the season.
Wingels leads Sharks past Lightning
ATLANTA After four embarrassing
weeks, the Atlanta Falcons were nally
competitive.
The result was the same.
Another loss.
Matt Ryan was sacked ve times and
Drew Brees did just enough for New
Orleans, throwing a pair of rst-half
touchdown passes that gave the Saints
a 17-13 victory over their NFC South
rival on Thursday night.
Its always frustrating when you
come up short, Atlantas Jonathan
Babineaux said. We put our hearts and
souls into it every week.
The Falcons (2-9) lost their fth in a
row, but this was by far the best effort
of the skid. They had been outscored
135-61 over the previous four games
and had not led for more than 15 quar-
ters, a drought that nally ended when
Steven Jackson dove in from the 1 to
cap an impressive opening drive
against the Saints.
Brees threw a 44-yard touchdown
pass to Jimmy Graham and a 1-yarder
to Benjamin Watson, giving the rst-
place Saints (9-2) a sweep of the sea-
son series with Atlanta.
The Falcons wrapped up their rst
losing season since 2007 and were
ofcially eliminated from the division
race with ve weeks remaining.
Im proud of the way the guys
played, tight end Tony Gonzalez said.
We had em. We had em right where
we wanted em.
Indeed, the Falcons had a chance to
pull off the upset, driving to the Saints
29 with less than 3 minutes to go. But
New Orleans turned up the pressure on
Ryan, Atlanta missed a long eld goal,
and the Saints ran off all but the last 5
seconds.
New Orleans also forced a crucial
fumble early in the fourth quarter.
Falcons hang tough, still lose

CCS SPECIAL
1. How legitimate are No. 1 Terra
Novas chances in the Open Division?
If youd had a chance to see the Tigers
play this season, you know theyre for real.
And head coach Bill Gray for years has sub-
jected his team to a grueling non-league
schedule to prepare them for the sections
beyond-loaded Open division. This might
be the year it pays dividends. Terra Nova
beat the WCALs St. Ignatius, fellow Open
division member Pioneer and Oakland
power Bishop ODowd in non-league play
by an average score of 50-28. So, Terra
Nova is no slouch and theyre the No. 1 seed
in the entire CCS for a reason.
That said, since CCS rules state that no
team in the Open that play in the same
league can face each other during the rst
round, Terra Nova will have to prove just
how good they are by facing a maximum of
three West Catholic Athletic League teams.
Valley Christian nished third in the WCAL
and is 7-3 overall. Additionally, theyre get-
ting healthy and will throw a trio of great
running backs at the Terra Nova defense
(Kirk Johnson, Tre McCloud and Mark
Quinby). To prove their legitimacy, the
Tigers will have to break a WCAL-CCS hex
Terra Nova is 0-5 against that league in
postseason play, losing by an average
score of 43-15.
2. Which Serra team are we getting?
In No. 2 Serras defense, its two losses
this season havent been for a lack of effort
and heart no one prepares his players
better in that regard than head coach Patrick
Walsh. The question leans more toward
whether CCS will see the razor sharp and
mistake-free Padres, or the Serra that was a
couple of turnovers away from going into
CCS with an unblemished 10-0 record.
Few expect No. 7 Pioneer to give Serra
too much of an issue. But, after Pioneer,
lurks a potential matchup with WCALneme-
sis and recent Achilles heel Bellarmine
College Prep, who has knocked the Padres
out of CCS the last two years. Serra does
have a win against the Bells this year
already. If the Padres arrive in these playoffs
ring on all cylinders, they have to be con-
sidered the team to be in the sections
toughest division.
3. Is M-A primed for
a deep run in Division II?
CCS DII is stacked. But the No. 3 seed for
the Bears is well-deserved and the Bears are
very prepared to make a championship
game return like they did two seasons ago.
Oak Grove, with its defense, will be a for-
midable road block, but Isiah Nash is
healthy and running the ball with con-
dence. Awin against the Eagles Friday night
sets up a potential rematch with No. 2 Los
Gatos a team the Bears have already beat-
en this season.
The key for M-Awill be whether they can
stay disciplined late-game mental tough-
ness in avoiding back-breaking penalties
and lapses on defense will dictate how far
M-Agoes in Division II.
4. Who is Burlingames
biggest threat in Division III?
Believe it or not, its the 2-8 St. Ignatius
Wildcats. If there was ever a time not to
judge a team by its record, this would be it
the term best 2-8 team ever has been
thrown around a couple of times.
Burlingame is like a well-oiled machine
right now. Hillsdale, their quarterfinal
opponent, is very athletic and might give
them issues. But the Panthers are just too
efcient and condent to lose Friday night
no disrespect to the Lake champions.
That means a game with WCALpower, and
reigning Open Division champion St.
Ignatius who despite its record, has been
in every single league game theyve played.
The Wildcats will be a giant test for the
Panthers. Burlingame can take a bit of sol-
ace in knowing S.I. has lost to a pair of PAL
teams this year already, though.
5. Should we count
out Hillsdale out already then?
No. Dont do that. Like Burlingame,
Hillsdale is a very condent team coming
into Fridays game. Theyre a team that can
score and is very well balanced. In addition,
the Knights proved last week they can hang
with PAL Ocean teams after losing by just
two points to Aragon in a game that went
back and forth throughout.
Hillsdales best chance comes in trying to
run the ball with Giancarlo Bosacci and hav-
ing Cole Carrithers pick his spots with
Brandon Butcher and Shawn Charan in the
middle of the eld. Theyll need to eliminate
the big play on defense as well if they have
a chance.
6. How many teams
will Aragon play against?
Talking to Dons head coach Steve Sell,
you get the sense he knows that if his team
does not beat itself, a very good No. 2
Aptos team is beatable. Aptos ran through
its league schedule like a hot knife through
butter and without a doubt the Dons pose the
toughest challenge theyve had since Week
4 of the season.
But like Sell said earlier this week,
Aragon has to stop shooting itself in the
foot and, in a sense, stop playing against
itself with costly turnovers at the most
expensive of times. A clean football game
by the Dons can translate into an opening
round CCS upset.
7. Does Sacred Heart Prep have the
necessary experience to repeat as
Division IV champs?
Yes, the Gators do. The fear here is that
last years championship squad had great
senior leadership at the quarterback and
safety positions and that replacing them
would be tough for the Gators. So far, with a
9-1 record, it appears SHP has had no issues
there.
The interesting thing will be observing
the Gators when they hit a bit of adversity.
Talent-wise, especially on the defensive
side of the ball, this SHP team can repeat as
champions. Also, watch out for the Gators
health a couple of nagging injuries have
kept the SHP offense in check for a couple
of weeks now. Theyve had to rely heavily
on that defense and, come championship
time, theyll need those explosive plays
that have made them one of the sections
best this season on both sides of the ball.
8. How healthy is Jack Heneghan?
Its the most important question in the
Division IV bracket. After an injury during
the M-A loss, Heneghan sat out the
Valparaiso Bowl and a team that was averag-
ing over 40 points a game put up three.
Without Heneghan, No. 5 Montereys
chances are very good against the Knights.
With Heneghan, theres no reason to
believe we wont be in for a rematch of last
seasons Division IV championship game
in SHP versus Menlo in the DIV seminal.
With Heneghan at the helm, Menlo is a

NFL GLANCE
By Alison Ladman
Every year Americans wrestle with yet
another round of seemingly ever more com-
plex Thanksgiving dilemmas.
Cranberry sauce canned or DIY?
Mashed potatoes with skins or without? And
is a potato ricer really that much better
than a masher? Make the gravy, or just fake
it? What about dinner rolls? Will anyone
notice if you serve store-bought? What if
they are organic, whole-wheat store-bought
rolls? Or maybe gluten-free?
And none of that even begins to address
the many turkey-centric issues. Brine it or
rub it with salt? Heirloom or free-range?
Both? Roasted, smoked, fried or grilled?
Stufng in or on the side? Speaking of stuff-
ing, is the bagged stuff OK or is it really
vital to bake the bread in order to make the
croutons to make the stufng? And if youre
already baking, should you make the pies
from scratch, too?
All of which can lead you to the most
important question Is the pizza joint
open?
This year, might we suggest a little less
overthinking? Boil some potatoes until
they are tender, then smash them with any-
thing handy. As long as you add gobs of but-
ter and milk, theyll be ne. As for the cran-
berry sauce, nobody will eat it anyway, so
stick with the can. The rolls? Delegate and

Thanksgiving is the holiday of sanc-
tioned indulgence, but that doesnt mean
the meal has to break the bank. Strategic
splurging can keep your budget and your
time under control.
The elements of Thanksgiving in gener-
al are relatively inexpensive, says
Melissa DArabian, cookbook author and
host of the FoodNetwork.com web series
The Picky Eaters Project. Items like
potatoes, bread for stufng, and even the
turkey are pennies per pound. But even
inexpensive things can become expensive
if youre making it for a lot of people and if
you dont shop well.
Knowing which items to go big on
depends on your menu, your skills and your
family and friends.
The trick to this is know your audience,
says Rick Rodgers, author of numerous
Thanksgiving cookbooks, including
Thanksgiving 101. If you have foodie
friends who really enjoy discussing a meal,
then maybe you do want the $100 organic
turkey. Its the same thing with the wine. If
people are going to notice that you have a

Thanksgiving can be a landmine of a
meal. Creative cooks who tinker too
aggressively with classic recipes may nd
themselves at the head of a table of disgrun-
tled diners.
Its hard to blame them. Thanksgiving is
rooted strongly in culinary traditions. Now
you go and add a layer of complexity
every family has a special way of roasting
this, mashing that, baking those or stufng
these. Tinker too much and you risk divorc-
ing the meal of some of its meaning. Yet
cooks love to try new avors, new tech-
niques, new ingredients. None of which is
easy to balance.
So to help you navigate, weve create
dueling turkey recipes. Each is grounded in
a classic roasting technique. But while one
stays true to tradition, seasoning the big
bird with sage, citrus, rosemary and thyme,
the other reaches for ginger, sesame oil and
chives to tease different, but delicious a-
vors.
Which way will you go?
TRADITIONAL TURKEY AND GRAVY
Start to nish: 2 1/2 to 3 hours
Makes a 12- to 14- pound turkey with gravy
12- to 14-pound turkey
For the compound butter:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup minced fresh sage
For the lling:
1 orange, cut into 8 wedges
1 lemon, cut into 8
wedges
3 sprigs fresh rose-
mary
6 sprigs fresh thyme
3 medium yellow onions, cut into wedges
4 medium carrots, cut into large pieces
4 stalks celery, cut into large pieces
For the gravy:
1/4 cup white wine
2 cups low-sodium chicken or turkey
broth
3 tablespoons all-purpose

3 tablespoons
finely chopped
fresh sage
Salt and
g r o u n d
b l a c k
pepper, to taste
Heat the oven to 350 F. Remove and dis-
card the giblets and neck from the turkey
cavity, if present. Use paper towels to pat
dry the turkey.
To prepare the compound butter, in a
small bowl mix together the butter, salt,
pepper and sage. Rub the compound butter
all over the turkey, making sure to get some
under the skin.
In a roasting pan large enough to t the
turkey, combine the orange, lemon, rose-
mary, thyme, onions, carrots and celery.
Mix well. Stuff some of the mixture into the
cavity of the turkey, then arrange the rest in
an even layer in the pan. Place the turkey on
the mixture in the pan.
Roast for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. The tempera-
ture of the breast should reach 160 F and the
thigh should reach 170 F. If the turkey
begins to darken too much, cover with
foil.
Transfer the turkey to a serving plat-
ter, wrap with a layer of foil and then place
several kitchen towels over it to keep it
warm.
Use a slotted spoon to remove and discard
the herbs and vegetables from the roasting
pan. Place the pan on the stovetop over
medium heat and bring the juices to a sim-

Stop fussing over whether to prepare
your Thanksgiving stufng inside or
alongside the turkey. Your life will be
so much easier if you just embrace the
wonder that is casserole dish stufng.
And to help get you over that hump,
we created a stufng with big, bold a-
vors and plenty of texture. We kept the
classic add-ins like celery, onions,
thyme and sage, but sweetened them up
with diced apples and golden raisins.
Add a generous stick of butter and
hearty wild rice, and you have a stuff-
ing that will leave you delightfully
stuffed.
By the way, the easiest way to
cook wild rice is to treat it like
pasta. Bring a medium saucepan of
water to a boil, add about 1/3 cup of
uncooked wild rice and cook for 45
to 55 minutes, then drain.
MULTIGRAIN AND
WILD RICE STUFFING
WITH APPLES AND HERBS
Start to nish: 1 hour (15 minutes

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 bunch scallions, nely chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh sage
1/4 cup chopped fresh tarragon
1 cup cooked wild rice
3 medium apples, peeled and diced
1 cup golden raisins
1 loaf multigrain bread, cubed and
toasted
2 1/2 cups low-sodium turkey or
chicken broth or stock
Heat the oven to 400 F. Coat a large
casserole or 9-by-13-inch baking pan
with cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium-high,

ery and cook until tender, 7 to 8 min-
utes. Remove the pan from the heat and
stir in the salt, pepper, scallions, pars-
ley, sage and tarragon.
In a large bowl, combine the onion
mixture with the cooked rice, apples,
raisins and bread cubes. Stir in the
broth. Spoon into the prepared pan
and cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes.

DUKKAH MONKEY ROLLS
Start to nish: 1 hour 15 minutes (15 min-
utes active)
Servings: 12
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted
1 tablespoon whole coriander seeds
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup fresh mint
1/4 cup fresh marjoram
16-ounce frozen white bread dough, thawed
6 tablespoons butter, melted

for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the oven to 400 F.
After the dough has sat for 30 minutes,
uncover and bake until golden brown and
cooked through, about 30 minutes. Cool in
the pan until easily handled, then remove
from the mufn wells and serve warm.

Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with
the pumpkin seeds and dates.
Do-ahead mashed potatoes to save time
By Alison Ladman
Unless you really crave those accordion-
like ridges or consider Thanksgiving a fail-
ure without hearing that classic shplopping
noise, you have no excuse for resorting to

little time or effort to make. Plus, its easy
to take a basic cranberry sauce and doctor it
up in so many delicious ways.
To help you along on your journey from
can to greatness, we offer a base recipe for a
delicious brown sugar and orange cranberry
sauce, plus ve ways of taking the avor in
crazy delicious directions. Dont want to use

Classic and modern takes on cranberry sauce
Great side dishes
By Sara Moulton
One of the most stressful parts of hosting
a large dinner party is guring out how to
time everything so all the food arrives at the
table piping hot and at its prime.
This is especially true of Thanksgiving
the dinner party to end all dinner parties!
Getting everything timed right is a crazy
juggling act, even if you make good use of
the turkey resting time (that 30-minute peri-
od between when the turkey comes out of the
oven and when it is ready to be carved) to n-
ish prepping the other dishes.
Traditional mashed potatoes pose a spe-
cial problem. You can try making them
ahead of time, then reheating them at the last
minute, but then they tend to taste stale.
Theoretically, you can make them from
scratch as the clock ticks down, but good
luck pulling that rabbit out of a hat while
youre simultaneously whipping up a pan
gravy and finishing off your sides in a
kitchen full of hovering relatives.
Heres my solution cook and mash the
potatoes without any seasonings or dairy
the day before, then pop them in the refrig-
erator. When youre ready to serve them,
nuke them and add the dairy at the last
minute.
Why does this work? Because its the
reheated butter and milk or cream than caus-
es the off avors. Leave those out until the
potatoes are already reheated and youre
good to go.
Which potato to use when making mashed
potatoes? Once upon a time there was only
one answer: the russet, widely known as the
baking potato, the most famous of which
is the Idaho. It is high in starch and gets
uffy when cooked. In recent years, though,
some folks have begun to swear by the
Yukon gold, a medium-starch spud with a
buttery hue.
In the spirit of rigorous open-mindedness,
I tested them both for this recipe. and ended
up going with the russet. I just liked the taste
better. In the same spirit, I tested two differ-
ent cooking methods baked and boiled.
And the baked version won hands-down. The
avor was just more potato-y. Admittedly,
baking takes longer than boiling, but you
save time because theres no peeling or dic-
ing needed.
There are three tools for mashing a potato:
the food mill, the potato masher and the
potato ricer. Most home cooks dont have a
food mill, so well ignore that. The masher
produces lumpy mashed potatoes, but some
folks like them just ne that way. The ricer,
designed like a potato-sized garlic press, is
my favorite of the three. Of course, if you
have none of these gadgets in your house,
you can just use a fork.
MAKE-AHEAD
LIGHT MASHED POTATOES
Start to nish: 1 day plus 1 hour and 20
minutes (20 minutes active)
Servings: 10
10 small to medium russet potatoes (about
5 pounds)
1 to 1 1/2 cups low-fat milk
1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 8
chunks
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Use a paring knife to prick the potatoes in
several places. Place the potatoes on a
rimmed baking sheet and bake on the ovens
middle shelf until a knife goes through with
no resistance, about 45 to 50 minutes. After
they are baked, cut the potatoes in half
lengthwise and set aside to cool for 5 min-
utes.
Use a spoon to scoop out the pulp from
each potato half and transfer it, in batches,
to a ricer or a food mill tted with the nest
blade. Force the potatoes through the ricer
or mill into a microwave-safe bowl. Let
cool, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
Just before serving, microwave the pota-
toes, covered loosely with plastic wrap, for
2 minutes. Stir and heat for another minute.
Repeat the procedure until the potatoes are
hot. Stir in 1 cup of the milk, the sour cream,
the butter, and salt and pepper to taste, then
heat for another minute, or until hot. Thin
with additional milk if you prefer a lighter
softer texture. Serve immediately.
Whatever you do, do not put the hot, cooked potatoes in a food processor, blender or mixer.
You will end up with wallpaper paste.

$50 pinot noir, go for it. But if they are average Joes, then
cook for them, not for you.
Heres a little more guidance from the experts.
TURKEY
Splurge on preparation, save on the bird.
Many people have ethical and environmental reasons for
buying a heritage, free range or other high-end bird. But if
your only consideration is taste, many experts say even the
frozen supermarket bird will sufce if you brine it and brown
i t .
The ecologist in me says buy a heritage breed turkey,
says Sarah Copeland, food director for Real Simple maga-
zine. But if you treat your turkey right, even a Butterball
can be delicious.
STUFFING
Splurge on the produce, save on the bread.
Stufng was meant to cheap. Its job is simply to soak up
all the lovely juices from your bird. An ordinary loaf of
white bread or baguette will do this just ne Rodgers
even likes the pre-packaged bread cubes but load up on
fresh herbs, crisp celery and avorful extras like excellent
mushrooms.
If you can get higher-end mushrooms, thats going to
elevate your stuffing into something really special,
DArabian says. Abit of minced shallot will add sweetness
and depth. Having high-end stufng versus run-of-the-mill
is worth a few extra bucks. In a lot of peoples hearts, the
stufng is the star of the show, so thats a good place to
splurge.
MASHED POTATOES
Splurge on the cream, save on the spuds.
Starchy russets are your best bet for everyones favorite
side because they soak up whatever avors you throw at
them. The 10-pound bag at Costco will do the job just as
well as farmers market potatoes at four times the price. But
using heavy cream instead of milk will make those potatoes
silky and rich.
Theres nothing like heavy cream in mashed potatoes,
and its such an indulgence, DArabian says. Leftover
cream can be whipped for dessert.
Another splurge? Alittle eur de sel or other crunchy n-
ishing salt for the top.
SWEET POTATOES
Splurge on fresh potatoes, save on the marshmallows.
When it comes to sweet potatoes, skip the can. Fresh
sweet potatoes are inexpensive, come in beautiful, meal-
enhancing colors like orange, yellow and purple, and
require little effort to cook. They can be roasted simply in
the skins and topped with butter and herbs, or they can be
candied, scalloped or turned into a soufe. Where to save?
Save money on the marshmallows, says Mary Risley,
director of Tante Maries Cooking School in San Francisco.
Theyre not food.
ROLLS
Save on the rolls, splurge on the butter.
Unless youre a born baker, why fuss with the dinner
rolls? Even the most mainstream grocers these days sell
totally respectable rolls. And it isnt hard to hunt down a
local bakery to grab something even better.
Where to spend your time? Make homemade butter to go
on those rolls. It takes just 5 minutes, but is so worth it.
You also can season the butter with crunchy salt akes,
fresh herbs, whatever. The web has tons of recipes, but all
you need are a food processor and a pint of heavy cream.
GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE
Just dont .
Its a recipe that started on the back of a can, and many
food folks say thats where it should stay.
I get that it takes a green bean casserole to scratch the
green bean casserole itch, DArabian says. Any attempt
to elevate the green bean casserole does not scratch the
itch. Do not elevate. Go with your classic recipe. If its not
an itch your family has, upscale your green vegetable by
sauteing fresh, shaved Brussels sprouts in excellent bacon.
PIE
Splurge on the crust, save on the lling. Or splurge on the
lling and save on the crust.
It all comes down to what your family values. For some
people, a good pie is all in the crust. If that describes your
crowd, do the real deal and dont blow it with purchased
crusts. And go all-butter or go home.
There are very few premade crusts on the market that
taste and feel as good as a real butter crust, says Real
Simples Copeland. But the lling is a different story. Why
bother roasting and breaking down a fresh pumpkin when
canned pumpkin consistently delivers great texture and a-
vor? Canned pumpkin is a wonderful invention, Copeland
says.
Or maybe your family considers crust just a vessel for a
delicious lling. If so, why waste time making your own?
Grab a prepared crust and just focus on everything that goes
in it.
However you roll on the crust, there should be no com-
promise on the topping. Pre-made whipped toppings dont
even come close to the real thing which requires almost
no effort to make.
Its amazing how a simple thing like homemade whipped
cream as opposed to a defrosted whipped topping can ele-
vate a dessert, Rodgers says.
SPLURGE
By Sarah DiLorenzo
PARIS The wine worlds best-known party is beginning
the ritual uncorking of Beaujolais Nouveau every
November. Thats both a curse and a blessing for the famed
French region and its lesser-known yet ner wines.
Beaujolais Nouveau is easy to drink, but everything a ne
wine is not: young, poor in tannins and not suited to storage.
Its partially because new wines could never hope to stir the
imagination the way that the great wines of Bordeaux or
Champagne do that the makers of Beaujolais Nouveau resort-
ed to what has become a hugely successful marketing cam-
paign.
Its an operation to bring value to a wine that is not part of
the mythology of French wines, said Serge Michels, vice
president of Proteines, an agribusiness consultancy.
And so, as they do every year, bars and wine shops the
world over uncorked the rst bottles of the 2013 Beaujolais
Nouveau at midnight on Wednesday. What started as the very
rst chance to taste a given years wine in Paris years ago has
led to parties as far away as Japan and the United States.
The party has started, said Bernard Rogue-Bouge as the
new wine owed from a barrel in his Au Petit Chavignol
Restaurant in Paris. Cheers! To the Beaujolais!
Speed is part of its mystique. Beaujolais Nouveau is typi-
cally own to its customers, while other wines travel by ship.
Wineries that make Beaujolais Nouveau export a larger pro-
portion of their wine than any other producer in France, send-
ing about 47 percent of their harvest abroad every year. The
biggest market is Japan, which drank nearly 9 million bottles
of it last year and which also typically has the privilege of
uncorking their bottles before anyone else. The U.S. downed
more than 2 million bottles in 2012.
The campaign has been so successful that growers of ner
wines in Beaujolais, just north of the eastern French city of
Lyon, wondering if theyve created a monster that is obscur-
ing everything else they do. Beaujolais nouveau wines make
up about a third of the wine produced in the region each year.
Beaujolais represents only 0.3 percent of the land under
cultivation for wine ... and yet its one of the most well-
known wines in the entire world, said Jean Bourjade of the
professional association of Beaujolais growers, Inter
Beaujolais. (Thats) thanks to Beaujolais Nouveau. No one
regrets that.
But its the tree that hides the forest, he lamented.
Beaujolais vineyards aim to be more than Nouveau
ANGELA SWARTZ/DAILY JOURNAL
Gerald Weisl at Weimax on Broadway in Burlingame with his
Beaujolais Nouveau.It used to be a more prominent wine a
few years ago,Weisl said.It seems less fashionable today than
10 years ago.Its still fun to taste wine literally weeks after it was
on the vine.
WEEKEND JOURNAL 25
By Sara Moulton
Halloween may be done, but
pumpkin season rolls on! And its a
welcome fact of life for a pumpkin
lover like me.
Im a fan of traditional American
pumpkin pie, of course, but I also
know that pumpkin is versatile,
and I thought I might be able to
internationalize it a little, too. This
recipe, which reects the inuence
of Thai cuisine, is a good example.
It stars Thai staples like kafr lime
leaves and coconut milk, and com-
plements them with fat-free evapo-
rated milk.
I used to think that Thai food
owed almost all of its Thai-ness to
lemon grass. But that was before I
learned about kafr lime leaves.
When I was nally introduced to
them, I was knocked out by the
intensity and richness of their
scent and taste, and impressed by
their ability to improve both sweet
and savory dishes.
I like to use them to infuse sugar
syrup, then add it to lemonade or
iced tea. You can nd kafr lime
leaves in Asian grocers, online and
often at natural foods stores. You
can nd them fresh (they freeze and
store well), or even thinly sliced
and jarred.
This recipe calls for canned
pumpkin, an ingredient at which I
used to turn up my nose. Happily, I
gured out after a while that pump-
kins, like tomatoes, dont suffer
from canning. Theyre harvested at
peak ripeness, then cooked and
canned immediately, which ensures
that both avor and health benet s
are retained.
Besides, who has the time to cut
up, seed, cook and puree fresh
pumpkin, especially when fresh
pumpkin can be watery and lacklus-
ter? Still, be sure to read the label.
You want solid pack canned
pumpkin with no added sugar, salt
or other additives.
Deliciousness aside, pumpkin is
a smart choice for dessert. Canned
or fresh, its full of carotenoids and
ber, and it boasts more potassium
than a banana. And a cup of canned
pumpkin has just 80 calories.
We use fat-free evaporated milk
because it has a lovely creaminess.
Combined with the coconut milk,
as it is here, it delivers the kind of
creamy texture that denes a cus-
tard... without all the fat and calo-
ries. In the end, nobody will sus-
pect that theyre digging into cus-
tard lite.
THAI PUMPKIN CUSTARD
Start to nish: 7 hours 30 min-
utes (20 minutes active)
Servings: 6
3 large eggs
1/2 cup packed brown sugar,
preferably dark
1/2 cup lite coconut milk
5 ounces fat-free evaporated
milk
2 teaspoons nely minced Kafr
lime leaves (or 1 1/2 teaspoons
freshly grated lime zest)
1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons dark rum (option-
al)
Seeds from 1 vanilla bean or 1
1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1 cup pumpkin puree
Chopped crystallized ginger or
toasted coconut, to garnish
Heat the oven to 350 F. Bring a
kettle of water to a simmer.
In a large bowl, use an electric
mixer to beat the eggs. Add the
brown sugar and beat just until any
lumps have dissolved. Add the
coconut milk, condensed milk,
lime leaves, lime juice, rum, if
using, vanilla seeds or extract,
salt and pumpkin puree. Beat just
until smooth.
Divide the mixture between six
1-cup ramekins. Set the ramekins
into a rectangular baking pan
(such as a lasagna pan), pour
enough simmering water into the
baking pan to come half way up
the sides of the ramekins.
Carefully transfer the baking
pan to the ovens middle shelf and
bake until a knife inserted at the
center comes out clean, about 30
minutes. Remove the ramekins
from the water bath and cool on a
wire rack. Cover with plastic wrap
and refrigerate until well chilled,
about 6 hours. Serve each portion
topped with some of the crystal-
lized ginger or coconut.
A Thai take on the Thanksgiving pumpkin
Canned or fresh, pumpkin is full of carotenoids and ber, and it boasts
more potassium than a banana.
SAVORY BUTTERNUT
SQUASH TART
Start to finish: 45 minutes (15
minutes active)
Servings: 8
9-inch prepared (rolled) pie
crust
1 3/4 pounds peeled and cubed
(about 1/2-inch cubes) butternut
squash
3 eggs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pep-
per
Unroll the pie crust and set it
over a 9-inch tart pan with
removable bottom. Gently press
the crust into the pan and up the
sides. Using your fingers, crimp
and remove any excess dough.
Refrigerate the crust.
Fill a medium saucepan with 2
inches of water, then fit it with a
steamer basket. Set the squash in
the steamer basket, then bring
the water to a boil. Cover and
steam the squash until very ten-
der, about 15 minutes.
Transfer the squash to a blender
or food processor. Process or
blend until mostly smooth. Add
the eggs, cheese, brown sugar,
thyme, salt and pepper, then
process again until very smooth.
Remove the crust from the
refrigerator and set it on a rimmed
baking sheet. Carefully pour the
squash mixture into the crust,
then bake for 25 minutes, or until
set at the center. Cool slightly
before cutting into slices.

outsource. Tell relatives that if they
want a seat at the table, come bearing
buns. Now the dilemma is their prob-
lem.
For the turkey, the gravy and the pie
problems, we have you covered with
three ridiculously easy recipes that will
ensure you have a fuss-free
Thanksgiving. For the gravy, we fake it
with stunning results. For the turkey,
we take a just-roast-the-stupid-thing-
and-move-on approach. And our apple
pockets take the pain out of pie bak-
ing.
Thats right, Thanksgiving really can
be a simple affair.
BACK-TO-BASICS TURKEY
This turkey is so basic, it calls for just
four ingredients and wont leave you
with any cleanup!
Start to nish: 3 hours
Makes a 12- to 14-pound turkey
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, soft-
ened
Salt and ground black pepper
2 large heavy-duty disposable roast-
ing pans
Remove the giblets and neck from the
turkey cavity, if present. Rub the bird all
over with the butter, then sprinkle it
generously with salt and pepper.
Stack the disposable roasting pans
one inside the other (for greater stabili-
ty). Arrange the turkey in the roasting
pan, breast side up. Roast for 2 to 2 1/2
hours. The temperature of the breast
should reach 160 F and the thigh should
reach 170 F. If the turkey begins to dark-
en too much, place foil over the top.
Remove the turkey from the oven and
cover with foil, if not already covered.
Place several towels over the foil to
keep the turkey warm. Let the turkey rest
for 15 minutes before carving.
SPEEDY GRAVY
Servings: 12
1 quart unsalted chicken or turkey
stock
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and
quartered
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1 tablespoon low-sodium bouillon
paste (sold in a jar near the broths and
stocks)
2 tablespoons butter, softened
4 tablespoons all-purpose our
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
In a medium pan over medium-high,
combine the stock with the onion,
poultry seasoning and bouillon paste.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Simmer for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix
together the butter and our to form a
thick paste. Use a slotted spoon to
remove the onion from the stock and
discard. Whisk in the our-butter paste,
then return the gravy to a simmer and
cook for 5 minutes, whisking frequent-
l y. Season with salt and pepper.
EASY APPLE PIE POCKETS
Start to nish: 40 minutes (15 min-
utes active)
Servings: 8
14.1-ounce package rolled pie crusts
(contains 2 crusts)
2 medium apples, peeled, cored and
sliced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg white
1 teaspoon water
Sugar, for sprinkling
Heat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking
sheet with kitchen parchment.
Cut each pie crust into quarters. In a
medium bowl, toss together the apple
slices, brown sugar and cinnamon.
Divide the apple mixture between the
eight pieces of dough, heaping them in
the center.
In a small bowl, beat the egg white
with the water until frothy. Brush the
edges of the dough with the egg white,
then gather the edges up over the apple
lling and pinch to seal together to
form little bundles. Brush the outside of
the bundles with more egg white, then
sprinkle with sugar. Arrange the pie
pockets on the prepared baking sheet
and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool
slightly before serving.

In a small bowl combine the our
with the remaining broth and whisk
until smooth. Add to the pan and whisk
continuously while simmering for 5
minutes. Strain the gravy, then season
with sage, salt and black pepper. Serve
alongside the turkey.

ASIAN MODERN
TURKEY AND GRAVY
Start to nish: 2 1/2 to 3 hours
Makes a 12- to 14-pound turkey with
gravy
For the compound butter:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Zest of 2 lemons
1/4 cup minced fresh chives
3 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
For the lling:
3 lemons, each cut into 8 wedges
4 Thai chilies, halved
2 cups shallots, halved
2 medium yellow onions, cut into
wedges
For the gravy:
1/2 cup sake
2 cups low-sodium chicken or turkey
broth
4 1/2 tablespoons rice our
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
3 tablespoons nely chopped fresh
cilantro
Soy sauce, to taste
Heat the oven to 350 F. Remove and
discard the giblets and neck from the
turkey cavity, if present. Use paper
towels to pat dry the turkey.
To prepare the compound butter, in a
small bowl mix together the butter,
salt, pepper lemon zest, chives, gin-
ger and sesame oil. Rub the compound
butter all over the turkey, making sure
to get some under the skin.
In a roasting pan large enough to t
the turkey, combine the lemons,
chilies, shallots and onions. Mix
well. Stuff some of the mixture into the
cavity of the turkey, then arrange the
rest in an even layer in the pan. Place
the turkey on the mixture in the pan.
Roast for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. The tem-
perature of the breast should reach 160
F and the thigh should reach 170 F. If
the turkey begins to darken too much,
cover with foil.
Transfer the turkey to a serving plat-
ter, wrap with a layer of foil and then
place several kitchen towels over it to
keep it warm.
Use a slotted spoon to remove and
discard the chilies and vegetables from
the roasting pan. Place the pan on the
stovetop over medium heat and bring
the juices to a simmer. Add the sake and
scrape up any browned bits in the pan.
Pour 1 cup of the broth into the pan,
whisking continuously
In a small bowl combine the rice
flour with the remaining broth and
whisk until smooth. Add to the pan and
whisk continuously while simmering
for 5 minutes. Strain the gravy, then
season with sesame oil, cilantro and
soy sauce. Serve alongside the turkey.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Evasiveness will
lead to trouble. Face the music and move on. Pent-up
resentment will result in an argument if you dont
make a move based on the way you feel.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You dont have
to make abrupt alterations in order to make your
point. Stick to what has worked in the past, and your
consistency will lead you to victory and peace of mind.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Go to the source and
verify whatever information youve been given before
you make a move. A change is in order, but your
reasons must be valid and your enthusiasm genuine.
PISCES ( Feb. 20-March 20) Look over
personal papers and discuss your options
with anyone who will be af fected by your
decision. Socializing and celebrating your
accomplishments will lead to romance.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) An unsavory
situation will develop if you overreact or get
involved in extravagant or indulgent situations.
Pace what you do, what you spend and what you
say, if you want to avoid regret.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Enjoy family and
friends. The events or activities you attend will give
you all sorts of ideas that will spark your imagination
regarding what you can offer others.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Expect someone
to meddle in your affairs. Dont invite trouble by
getting involved in gossip. Stick to the truth and
stand up for your beliefs. Someone from your past
will offer a solution.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Youll impress
whomever you talk to with your knowledge and your
imagination. Creative ideas will help you pick the
perfect way to please the people you care about most.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Keep your eyes open and
focus on your goals. Dont allow anyone to ruin your
plans or guilt you into unreasonable demands. Step out
and socialize with people who share your interests.
VIRGO ( Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Short trips and
participating in activities that are geared toward
helping others will lead to new friendships. A
close relationship will get stronger if you are
at tentive or romantic.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Strategy coupled with
diplomacy will help you ward off controversy. Keep
your distance from anyone who is unpredictable
or unreasonable. Protect your money, home and
possessions.

LOCAL/STATE
tinued in 2014, a deadline previously agreed to
by the exchange and insurers. Nearly 220,000
policies will be extended until March because
the companies failed to meet regulatory dead-
lines for notifying policy holders.
The cancellations have angered some policy
holders, many of whom will see their monthly
premiums and deductibles rise sharply under
new plans. They also y in the face of promis-
es Obama made repeatedly when he said people
who liked their current health insurance poli-
cies could keep them under his health insur-
ance reforms.
The president has since backtracked and has
asked states to allow insurance companies to
extend those older policies.
But many insurance companies oppose
extending the policies, saying doing so would
undermine the new markets being set up under
Obamas law. They also said they did not have
enough time to rebuild policies they already
had discontinued.
Ofcials described myriad complications if
the board had agreed to modify the existing
policy cancellation contract Covered
California has with insurers, including how
much premiums could rise, whether consumers
might be subject to two deductibles in one year
and the tight timeline in which to make a deci-
sion, with the end of the year quickly
approaching. Insurance companies would need
to notify customers that they were re-offering
the old plans and process customer payments
before Dec. 31.
HEALTH
Heidi Lancaster, a parent of four children
who attend the school, came up with the idea
and said it has been relaxing for her eighth-
grade daughter who feels less phone-related
anxiety.
Alot of parents give their children phones
to get a hold of our kids, but its become this
huge social media thing, she said. Theyre
just on it all the time. I wanted them to see
what its like not to have it.
Twenty-eight eighth graders ultimately
opted into the 12-day challenge, which was
organized by school counselor Denise Uhl,
who had each of the students choose a goal to
accomplish during the challenge. The school
surveyed eighth graders and found 63 percent
admitted to spending too much time on their
cellphone and social media sites. Eighty-four
percent admitted they do not like it when their
friends and family are on their cellphones
when together. Eighty-two percent admitted
they have an average amount of rules and need
more rules from their parents around technol-
ogy use.
Some parents have become dependent on
getting in touch with their children at any
time, said Principal Nancy Arnett. Students
are losing socialization skills through the
constant use of their phones and computers
though, she said.
They dont know how to have a conversa-
tion, she said. Listening scores are down
and theres no undivided attention anymore.
Its affecting the way children learn and how
their brains function.
Students say theyve seen many positive
impacts on their lives.
Student Savannah Patrick said the chal-
lenge has been harder for her mom than it was
for her since her mom always wants to be on
time. One day, Patricks peer tutoring went
overtime and her mom really wanted to be
able to call her.
Without cellphones, you want to slow
down, she said. She (her mother) learned
its not that important. Theres the 15-minute
rule.
The 15-minute rule is waiting to call and use
technology to get in touch for 15 minutes,
said Uhl. It delays the panic and helps people
slow down, she added.
Student Angelo Tonas said he ended up
being able to spend more quality time with
his younger brother by playing basketball
with him rather than spending time on his
phone.
Patrick described the Fear of Missing
Out phenomenon, which she experi-
enced. Checking Instagram constantly
she would feel like she was missing out
when she would see her friends having fun
together in their posts.
[The challenge] gives you the chance to
not feel so out of the loop, she said.
Being off her phone, student Meghan
Mercurio noticed the bright screens of her
mom and brothers cellphones during a movie
night. She ultimately was surprised by how
much extra time she had without her phone.
Student Maddie Hughes even completed a
painting during the challenge. She said the
challenge was harder than she thought it
would be, but it was also a relief because she
had more time to do things she didnt have
time to do when she was always on her
phone. She even said she learned street
smarts one day when she had to track down
her dad without a phone.
Hughes mother Kim Hughes, a volunteer at
the school, said she noticed Maddie has been
much more present since the challenge
began. In fact, Uhl said many of the kids have
been spending more time doing productive
activities such as cooking and seeing their
grandparents.
Eighth grade teacher Lisa Vocker has been
participating in the challenge herself and
mainly has tried to not use technology in
front of her four kids.
The students are more connected with each
other, Vocker said. Their attention spans
are better, theyre calmer. Its impacting the
whole class since most of their friends are
using [technology].
Vocker hopes that students habits will be
better after the challenge is over.
The program has been contagious to non-
participating students as well, said Uhl. The
school is thinking of expanding the chal-
lenge to the sixth and seventh grades.
Students will be celebrating the end of the
challenge at Rockin Jump in San Carlos
tonight.

By Monika Scislowska and Karl Ritter
WARSAW, Poland Hundreds of envi-
ronmental activists walked out of U.N. cli-
mate talks on Thursday, saying they were
deeply disappointed by the lack of results
with just one day remaining.
Wearing Polluters talk, we walk T-
shirts, the activists streamed out of
Warsaws National Stadium, where rich and
poor countries were arguing over who
should do what to ght global warming.
The two-week session in the Polish capi-
tal was never expected to produce any big
decisions or breakthroughs, but the protest-
ers said in a statement that the talks were
on track to deliver virtually nothing.
Negotiations have been bogged down by
disputes over nancing to help poor coun-
tries develop their economies in a cleaner
way than the West did and cope with rising
sea levels, desertication and other impacts
of global warming.
Meanwhile, emerging economies includ-
ing China and Brazil appeared to resist a
European push for setting a 2014 deadline
for when countries should put forth commit-
ments for a new climate agreement, which is
supposed to be adopted a year later.
The level of progress is seen as a possible
indicator of the worlds chances of reaching
a deal in 2015. Thats the new watershed
year in the U.N.-led process after a 2009
summit in Copenhagen ended in discord.
If we go with the spirit of the lack of
urgency that we see in these talks, we are
headed for another disaster in Paris in 2015
and we need to avert it at all cost,
Greenpeace head Kumi Naidoo told the
Associated Press.
We cannot afford to get it wrong again in
2015, he said.
Environmental groups from around the
world attend the annual talks as observers.
They often stage colorful protests in the
hallways to urge negotiators to step up the
pace.
