A man accused of impersonating an attor-
ney to keep a client from jail may now be
headed there himself after prosecutors
charged the man with 13 felonies for alleged-
ly claiming to be the very-real lawyer for
whom he used to work.
John Hedderman, 52, was once a licensed
attorney in California but resigned in 2001
with charges pending after
several incidents of ineli-
gibility to practice law.
However, prosecutors say
in February he represented
himself as an attorney
named Donald Welch
when he met client Ruben
Bisceglia in Southern
California and learned he
was seeking help with-
drawing a plea of no contest to possessing
stolen property in San Mateo County.
Hedderman once worked as a paralegal for
the real Welch who practices in Southern
California. Bisceglia reportedly paid
Hedderman more than $1,000 in fees and he
appeared in San Mateo County Superior
Court three times between March and August
2012.
When a San Mateo County prosecutor
attempted to contact the real Welch for fol-
low-up on a victim restitution order, authori-
ties learned of the deception. District Attorney
Inspector Kevin Raffaelli found Hedderman
in custody for committing similar offenses in
Orange County where he falsely represented
himself as an attorney in a 2008 family law
dispute. He was ultimately convicted of 12
felonies in Orange County.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Half Moon Bays Planning Department may be dismantled
in favor of contracting out the service, if the council follows a
consultants recommendation.
Matrix Consulting Group prepared a report the City Council
will consider tonight that recommends a reduction in staff
from its current three employees since the workload for the
department has dropped off considerably in recent years. The
number of permits issued has almost halved since 2008,
according to the report.
The report indicates Half Moon Bay only needs 1.33 full-
time planners.
Although the department technically has a planning director,
associate planner and an administrative assistant, only the
associate planner position is currently lled. Three contract
planners currently assist the department with backlog of work.

mute on Wednesday and continue through the weekend, bring-
ing winds of 40 to 50 mph and 1 to 3 inches of rain to most

A dip in the economy means more
people need help and generating dona-
tions can be difcult a challenge San
Mateo High School students are realiz-
ing rsthand during their annual canned
food drive.
The student effort to collect food for
locals has created record-breaking
results in years past. This year, San
Mateo students are hoping to collect
300,000 pounds of food through their
effort Mission: Possible, CANcel
Hunger. As of Monday, the count was at
25,000 pounds of food. That doesnt yet
include donations from over the week-
end, which will be counted today. Food
donations go to Second Harvest Food
Bank. Any money donated is given to
Samaritan House. Each $1 donation is
equal to 4 pounds in food.
Community Service Commissioner
Steven Pantuso, 17, said the group is
hoping Tuesdays count will result in the
count hitting or exceeding 100,000
pounds of food.
That leaves a lot of ground to cover in
a week. On Monday, Assemblyman
Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, stopped by to
donate 33 cans to the effort.
The sad part about the area we live in
is most people look at ... the area we live
in and think of it as successful. We are ...
but we also have very large areas of
poverty, people struggling with hunger,
that dont get recognized, Hill said.

Ohios cleaning fairy
gets one year of probation
CLEVELAND An Ohio woman
dubbed the cleaning fairy after she
broke into a home, cleaned it and left a
$75 bill has been put on probation for one
year.
A judge sentenced 53-year-old Susan
Warren of Elyria on Monday in
Cleveland on her guilty plea to attempted
burglary. She also must do 20 hours of
community service.
The woman told authorities she was
driving by the Westlake house and want-
ed something to do. She broke in,
washed some coffee cups, took out the
trash, vacuumed and dusted inside the
house. Then she left a bill written on a
napkin and included her phone number.
Warren says she owns a cleaning busi-
ness and sometimes enters homes, cleans
them and leaves a bill.
Restaurant settles over
carcass removal listing
HELENA, Mont. A phone book
company has settled a lawsuit over its
placement of a Montana restaurant in the
Animal Carcass Removal section of its
yellow pages, a listing the restaurant
owner says cost him customers and made
him the butt of a Jay Leno joke.
The terms of the Nov. 16 deal between
Dex Media Inc. and Big Sky Beverage
Inc., the parent company of Bar 3 Bar-B-
Q, were not disclosed. A tentative agree-
ment proposed in September said a deal
would include a payment to the resaurant
owner.
Restaurant owner Hunter Lacey sued
Dex after the listing appeared in the 2009
phone book and was reprinted in other
print and online directories in 2010 and
last year. It gained national notoriety after
Leno featured it as a joke on the Tonight
Show in January 2011.
Laceys lawsuit claims a Dex salesman
deliberately published the free listing
under the Animal Carcass Removal
section after he refused to buy an adver-
tisement in the phone book. The salesman
no longer works for the company.
Lacey claimed the negative publicity
caused business to drop off at his
Bozeman and Belgrade restaurants and
his brands reputation to suffer. His law-
suit alleged negligence, defamation and
slander, among other charges.
Dex has said it was an erroneous listing
the company removed from its online
directory when it was discovered.
The case seemed to be headed for court
after it was led in U.S. District Court in
September 2011. But settlement talks
began in earnest after U.S. Magistrate
Judge Keith Strong denied a request to
dismiss the case because of problems he
saw with Dexs disclosure of company
documents to Big Sky Beverages attor-
ney.
Strong took issue with the timing of
Dexs release of audio recordings of the
salesmans calls to Bar 3 Bar-B-Q and a
company document without giving the
other side adequate time to inspect them
in preparation for questioning the sales-
man.
Attorneys for both sides told the judge
less than two months later they had
reached a tentative settlement, which was
nalized this month.
Neither Lacey nor attorneys for Dex
and Big Sky Beverage returned calls and
emails seeking comment this week.

Black Friday shopping turned deadly for a
San Bruno family as an early-morning colli-
sion with a parked California Highway Patrol
vehicle left two sisters dead and the familys
matriarch ghting for her life at Stanford
Hospital.
Nisha Tandel, 24, was pronounced dead at
the scene and her sister Sheetal Tandel, 20,
died later that night at Stanford Hospital,
according to the CHP.
There is speculation that the vehicles driv-
er and familys father, Arvindbhai Tandel,
may have slipped into sleep as his sport utili-
ty vehicle hit the rear-left corner of the CHP
car just before 7 a.m. Friday on Highway 101
in Palo Alto. The family was shopping in
Gilroy and was on the way back home to San
Bruno.
Tandels wife, Yogita Tandel, suffered major
injuries from the crash and is in critical condi-
tion at Stanford, according to the CHP.
Before the crash, the CHP vehicle had
pulled up next to a broken-down white pickup
truck on the right-hand shoulder.
After speaking to the trucks occupants, the
CHP ofcer pulled up in front of the truck,
which is when the SUV swerved into the
shoulder for unknown reasons and hit the left
side of the patrol vehicle, according to the
CHP.
The SUV then ipped and came to a rest on
the Embarcadero Road off-ramp after the two
sisters were ejected.
In all, the SUV contained six passengers,
the father and his wife up front and four
daughters in the back, Sheetal, Nisha, Payal,
22, and a 12-year-old.
It is believed that Nisha and her 12-year-old
sister had not been wearing seat belts at the
time of the crash.
The sisters both attended St. Dunstan
School in Millbrae, Notre Dame High School
in Belmont and Sheetal was recently enrolled
at the College of San Mateo.
The family had been reportedly shopping
for gifts in Gilroy to take with them to India
for Nishas wedding in January.
Drugs or alcohol were not a factor in the
accident and the CHP ofcer suffered minor
injuries and was hospitalized.
The rest of the family was transported to
Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose
with minor injuries.
No details on a memorial service for the
Tandel sisters were available yesterday.
In total, six people were killed in trafc col-
lisions in the Bay Area over the Thanksgiving
holiday period, according to the CHP.
At least another 237 were arrested in the
Bay Area for driving under the inuence,
according to the CHP.
Statewide, 30 total fatalities were reported
this year in CHP jurisdictions, up from the 21
reported in 2011.
A total of 1,320 drivers were arrested by the
CHP for driving under the inuence this year
through Sunday morning, fewer than the
1,475 arrested in the same period last year.
The CHPs Maximum Enforcement Period
began Wednesday at 6 p.m. and ended mid-
night Sunday.
Family loses two daughters, wife clings to life
Black Friday shopping trip turns tragic after fatal crash
A driver whose out-of-control car sent a
concrete garbage can ying into a 67-year-old
San Mateo pedestrian who later died was
charged yesterday with gross vehicular
manslaughter, felony hit and run and child
endangerment.
Authorities say after the collision, Josue
Lopez, 26, checked on Reynaldo Aguiniga
who was pinned against a tree but went back
to his car and ed with a 5-year-old child in
the back of his green 1994 Chevrolet Camaro.
Police later arrested Lopez using a car
description and partial license plate number.
Lopez appeared in court
Monday afternoon for ini-
tial arraignment on the
three felonies and remains
in custody.
The bizarre accident
happened at approximate-
ly 11:30 a.m. Saturday in
the 1700 block of South
Delaware Street after the
driver of the Camaro later
identied as Lopez lost control of the vehicle
while speeding out of a parking lot. The car
hit a garbage can that dislodged, hitting
Aguiniga and pushing him into a tree.
Responding police ofcers found Aguiniga
pinned between the can and tree near a bus
stop.
Aguiniga later died at the hospital.
Drugs and alcohol dont appear to be a fac-
tor in the crash, according to police.

Sheriff s deputy accused
of robbing bank pleads not guilty
A San Francisco sheriffs deputy accused of robbing a bank
in the citys Outer Richmond neighborhood earlier this month
pleaded not guilty Monday to felony rob-
bery and commercial burglary charges.
Philip Chun Tong, 36, of Pacica, was
arraigned yesterday afternoon on the two
charges, which stem from a Nov. 7 robbery
at a Bank of America branch at 3701
Balboa St.
Tong, who is out of custody after posting
$150,000 bail, declined to speak to
reporters outside of court, as did his attor-
ney Eileen Burke.
Court documents show that Tong led for bankruptcy in July.
Police said that on the day of the robbery, a man entered the
bank and handed a teller a note demanding money. The note
said the man was armed, but no weapon was seen, police said.
The teller handed over about $1,700 in cash and the suspect
left on foot. Investigators identied Tong as the suspect using
video surveillance and his ngerprints, which were found on
the demand note, according to the district attorneys ofce.
He was arrested on Nov. 16 and has since been suspended
without pay, sheriffs spokeswoman Susan Fahey said.

From keeping an eye on what she calls
unwise military machinery spending and
continuing the ght against sexual vio-
lence within the armed forces to worries
about the scal cliff, U.S. Rep. Jackie
Speier was open to talk about a number
of items of national importance with
reporters Monday morning.
Speier, D-San Mateo, invited reporters
to visit her ofce Monday for a casual
and wide-ranging conversation. For more
than 30 minutes, Speier discussed her
continued efforts to curb sexual violence
in the military and helping veterans get
needed services despite a long backlog.
In the coming months, she will be help-
ing work to ensure safety at U.S.
embassies. And Speier warns not making
changes to avoid impacts of the scal
cliff could be catastrophic.
The scal cliff has been a buzz term in
the media since the election. Its referring
to the end of the year when, if nothing
changes, higher taxes
and cuts to some gov-
ernment programs
will kick in. Such an
increase in taxes
could create less
spending. Its not
uncommon to have
lawmakers discuss
budget issues until
the last minute.
Without changes,
many worry the nancial markets could
take a nosedive.
Speier shares the concerns about a neg-
ative impact on markets. However, the
tax cuts were always meant to be a holi-
day, she said. Those were extended two
years.
We cant afford the tax holiday any-
more. We also need to cut government,
she said, adding defense shouldnt be
immune from cuts.
Speier isnt anti-military, however, she
believes the organization could run more
efciently. She also has concerns about
spending on military machines. For
example, a boat thats in its beta phase is
taking in water, which creates a number
of problems. There is supposed to be a
large order of these boats. Speier ques-
tions moving forward with such a pur-
chase.
Issues related to the military has been a
focus for Speiers ofce lately. In the past
year, she noted efforts to help streamline
the process for veterans disability claims
has resulted in more than $1 million
being granted. But the backlog remains.
The congresswomans ofce has gen-
erally been working more with individual
constituents on a number of issues.
Helping veterans who are in limbo wait-
ing for services and those dealing with
mortgage struggles are some of the top
requests the ofce handles.
Speiers work will cover a different
topic later this week when shes expected
to introduce a resolution to be sure feder-
al funds arent used to support psycho-
logical therapy aimed at converting
those under 18 from gay to straight.

Prosecutors seeking eight
years for campaign treasurer
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Federal prosecutors on Monday recom-
mended an eight-year sentence for a California campaign
treasurer who pleaded guilty to defrauding
at least $7 million from Democratic politi-
cians.
Kinde Durkee is scheduled to be sen-
tenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court
in Sacramento. She pleaded guilty in
March to ve counts of mail fraud.
Her plea deal called for a sentence of 11
to 14 years, but the U.S. Attorneys ofce
is recommending a little more than eight
years. If the judge agrees, Durkee would
have to serve six years and 10 months before she is eligible for
parole.
A message left for her attorney, Daniel Nixon, was not
immediately returned.
Despite the loss of campaign money, Democrats in
California this year added congressional seats, reached super-
majorities in the Legislature and re-elected U.S. Sen. Dianne
Feinstein. Feinstein said she lost $4.5 million.
Dems gain one more
seat in state Senate
By Judy Lin
SACRAMENTO Democratic Assemblywoman Cathleen
Galgiani has won an open seat in the state Senate, expanding
the Democrats supermajority, while election officials
announced that a special election runoff will be needed for
another Senate seat.
Galgiani had been trailing Republican Assemblyman Bill
Berryhill in the Central Valleys 5th Senate District but over-
took him as provisional ballots were counted. the Associated
Press called the race for Galgiani on Monday.
Neither campaign immediately returned calls for comment.
Galgianis victory pads the Democrats supermajority in the
Senate, giving them 29 seats, two more than the two-thirds
threshold needed to pass tax increases and override vetoes.

ing shoppers online buying habits in
2001.
Online shopping was up 26.6 percent
on Cyber Monday compared with the
same time period a year ago, according
to figures released Monday evening by
IBM Benchmark, which tracks online
sales. Sales from mobile devices, which
include tablets, rose 10.2 percent. The
group does not track dollar amount
sales.
The strong start to Cyber Monday, a
term coined in 2005 by a shopping
trade group that noticed people were
doing a lot of shopping on their work
computers on the Monday following
Thanksgiving, comes after overall
online sales rose significantly during
the four-day holiday shopping weekend
that began on Thanksgiving.
Onlines piece of the holiday pie is
growing every day, and all the key dates
are growing with it, said Forrester
Research analyst Sucharita Mulpuru.
The Web is becoming a more signifi-
cant part of the traditional brick-and-
mortar holiday shopping season.
Its the latest sign that Americans are
becoming addicted to the convenience
of the Web. With the growth in smart-
phones and tablet computers, shoppers
can buy what they want, whenever they
want, wherever they want.

Cyber Mondays online sales got off to a brisk start, sending e-commerce retailers
shares higher and suggesting strong growth from earlier in the holiday shopping
season would continue through December.

Serial thief gets
four years prison
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A serial thief who took televisions from San Mateo
County stores several times, once leaving his identification
behind and another hiding the appliance
in a baby stroller, was sentenced Monday
to four years in prison.
Chauncey Smith, 31, faced up to six
years in prison after pleading no contest
to felony theft and admitted having a
prior strike. A judge refused to discount
the strike before handing down the
slightly lesser term with credit of 524
days earned.
Smith, of San Pablo, has 17 prior
strike convictions. Prosecutors opted not
to try him as a third-striker although they could have done
so prior to the Election Day victory of the laws amend-
ment.
Smiths recent alleged run of thefts began Sept. 23, 2010
when a customer at a Millbrae Walgreens saw a man grab a
television and walk out without paying. An officer stopped
the man but he ran away, leaving his identification behind.
The ID belonged to Smith.
On Nov. 26, prosecutors say Smith pushed an empty baby
stroller inside the Redwood City Kohls store and was able
to walk out with a a $300 television inside. The next day,
Smith returned to the same store and took another televi-
sion but was captured on store security cameras. Review of
the tape also turned up footage of the previous days theft.
Smith has been in custody on $150,000 bail.

In August, State Superintendent
Tom Torlakson announced 342 schools
will share $11.1 million in federal
Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program
grants.
Students who dont have enough
nutritious food to eat can have a tough
time succeeding in school, Torlakson
said. As part of my Team California
for Healthy Kids initiative, we are
working to help improve their health
and physical tness which in turn is
linked to academic success. Not only
will these grants provide fresh fruit and
vegetables to elementary school kids,
they will also help the local economy
by encouraging schools to buy produce
from local farmers.
Belle Haven and Edison-Brentwood
elementary schools in the Ravenswood
City School District were among those
to receive grants. The schools will get
$29,800 and $34,058 respectively.
The federal FFVP offers competitive
grants to eligible elementary school
sites. The program is designed to pro-
vide students with a variety of free
fresh fruit and vegetable snacks
throughout the school day as a supple-
ment to the school breakfast and lunch
programs. It is also designed to teach
students about good nutrition.
Recipients are encouraged to form part-
nerships with the fruit and vegetable
industry and groups that promote chil-
drens health to support their efforts.

U.S. News & World Report named
Menlo College a Best College in its
2013 edition of Americas Best
Colleges, released in September.
Menlo ranked in the top tier of schools
in the Regional Colleges (West) cate-
gory. This is the second year consecu-
tively that Menlo College has received
this honor.
Regional colleges are classied as
schools that emphasize undergraduate
education, but award fewer than 50 per-
cent of their degrees in the liberal arts.
In total, 371 colleges are ranked as
Best Regional Colleges according to
geographic region (North, South,
Midwest and West).
Menlo Colleges Best Regional
College designation comes recently
after the school was named Best in the
West by The Princeton Review for
the fourth straight year.

STATE GOVERNMENT
Assembly Speaker John A. Prez, D-Los Angeles, announced
the appointment of San Mateo County Supervisor Carole Groom
to the 12-member California Coastal Commission yesterday, after
a deliberative and comprehensive process of screening nominees for
the post that included Half Moon Mayor Allan Alifano. The com-
mission governs development on the coast.
One of four alleged gangmembers
charged in the repeated stabbing of a man in
Redwood City will be sentenced to 20 years
in prison after pleading no contest to
attempted murder.
Bryan Alexander Morales, 19, also admit-
ted acting to benefit a street gang and causing
great bodily injury in the attack. He will be
formally sentenced Jan. 9 but the negotiated
deal accepted by Morales calls for a straight
20-year term.
According to prosecutors, Morales along
with three teens and a 16-year-old boy
stabbed the victim several times in the
abdomen at approximately 4:30 p.m. Dec.
13, 2011 on the 800 block of Brewster
Avenue. Witnesses reported seeing two
males jump out of a gold car, stab the man
and flee the area. Police located a car
matching the vehicle description at a home
in the 2600 block of Marlborough Avenue
and ultimately arrested the three teens
inside based on their statements.
The victim was hospi-
talized with critical
injuries.
Morales case was sev-
ered from that of his co-
defendants after his
defense attorney ques-
tioned his competency to
stand trial. Both court-
appointed doctors who
evaluated Morales con-
cluded he was able to aid in his own defense
and criminal proceedings were reinstated.
However, Morales opted to settle his case
rather than head to trial.
Co-defendants Jose Antonio Jiminez-
Hernandez, 19, and Jose Luis Segurasuarez,
19, are similarly charged and set for trial
Dec. 3. Another co-defendant, Billi Ruben
Antonio, 19, pleaded no contest to being an
accessory to a felony and participating in a
street gang.
He was sentenced to two years with 456
days credit for time served followed by a
year of mandatory supervision.

State Sen. Leland Yee Monday announced
his intent to run for California secretary of
state in the 2014 election.
Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo, who will
be termed out of office that year, is seeking to
head the agency that oversees the states elec-
tions and monitors campaign and lobbyist
financial information.
Debra Bowen, the current secretary of
state, is also being termed out of office in
2014.
Among his qualifications for the position,
Yee cited a law he authored that allowed
Californians to register to vote online. More
than 1 million people used the system to reg-
ister or re-register to vote in the Nov. 6 elec-
tion.
Yee also said he wants to explore the pos-
sibility of voting online.
If we can safely pay
our bills via the Internet
and board an airplane with
a smartphone, we should
be able to securely and
easily vote electronically
as well, Yee said in a
statement.
He has authored several
laws to increase trans-
parency in state government, including one
this year that increased fees for lobbyists to
fund the maintenance of Cal-Access, the
states database that tracks campaign contri-
butions and lobbying activity.
Yee is a former San Francisco supervisor
who ran for mayor in 2011, finishing in fifth
place.

WASHINGTON Talk of compromise on
a broad budget deal greeted returning law-
makers Monday, but agreement still seemed
distant as the White House and congressional
Republicans ceded little ground on a key
sticking point: whether to raise revenue
through higher tax rates or by limiting tax
breaks and deductions.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio,
pressed his case for revenue derived by reduc-
ing tax loopholes rather than raising tax rates
on wealthy taxpayers, as President Barack
Obama insists.
Boehner, voicing the Republican stance,
said: The American people support an
approach that involves both major spending
cuts and additional revenue via tax reform
with lower tax rates.
At the White House, Obama spokesman Jay
Carney reiterated the presidents pledge not to
sign legislation that extends current tax rates
to the top 2 percent of income earners
households with incomes over $250,000.
That is a rm position, Carney said.
Congress and Obama have until the end of
the year to avoid across-the-board tax increas-
es that would do away with rates set during the
administration of President George W. Bush
and restore higher tax rates in place during
President Bill Clintons administration when
the economy was robust and the federal gov-
ernment had a budget surplus.
White House and congressional leadership
aides said Obama spoke separately with
Boehner and Democratic Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid over the weekend. The
aides would not reveal details of the conversa-
tions. Obama last met with the bipartisan con-
gressional leadership to discuss the scal cliff
on Nov. 16. No new meetings have been
announced.

WASHINGTON With con-
gressional opposition softening,
U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice could
nd her name in contention as early
as this week to succeed Hillary
Rodham Clinton as secretary of
state. Its a step that may signal
greater U.S. willingness to intervene
in world crises during President
Barack Obamas second term.
As Obama nears a decision on
who should be the countrys next
top diplomat, Rice has emerged as
the clear front-runner on a short list
of candidates that many believe has
been narrowed
to just her and
Sen. John Kerry,
despite lingering
questions over
her comments
about the deadly
Sept. 11 attack
on a U.S.
Consulate in
Libya.
According to congressional aides
and administration ofcials, Rice
will be making the rounds on
Capitol Hill this week for closed
door meetings with key lawmakers
whose support she will need to be
conrmed. Those appearances fol-
low her rst in-depth explanation of
her Benghazi remarks that
Republicans seized on as evidence
of the administrations mishandling
of the attack that took the lives of
the U.S. ambassador to Libya and
three other Americans.
Acting CIA Director Michael
Morell will join Rice in her meet-
ings with lawmakers.
A senior Senate aide said the
administration was trying to meas-
ure the strength of the Republican
opposition to a Rice nomination,
sounding out the more moderate
members of the Foreign Relations
Committee such as Sen. Bob Corker,
R-Tenn., who is in line to become
the panels top Republican next year,
and Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga.

By Philip Elliott
WASHINGTON For decades,
conservative lobbyist Grover
Norquist vowed to drive
Republicans out of ofce if they
didnt pledge to oppose tax increas-
es. Many lawmakers signed on.
But now, several senior
Republicans are breaking ranks,
willing to consider raising more
money through taxes as part of a
deal with Democrats to avoid a cat-
astrophic budget meltdown.
Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker says
the only pledge he will keep is his
oath of office. House Majority
Leader Eric Cantor says no one in
his home state of Virginia is talking
about what leaders in Washington
refer to simply as The Pledge, a
Norquist invention that dates to
1986. Georgia Sen. Saxby
Chambliss says he cares more about
his country than sticking to
N o r q u i s t s
pledge.
Its quite an
about-face for
senior members
of a party that
long has stood
firmly against
almost any
notion of tax
increases. And
while GOP lead-
ers insist they still dont want to see
taxes go up, the reality of a nation in
a debt crisis is forcing some to mod-
erate their opposition to any move-
ment on how much Americans pay
to fund their government.
Republican legislators and
Democratic President Barack
Obamas White House are haggling
vigorously as they look for ways to
reach agreement on detailed tax
adjustments and spending cuts
before automatic, blunt-force
changes occur at the new year.

WASHINGTON The leader-
ship of the Securities and Exchange
Commission will change next
month. Its approach to regulation
probably wont.
Mary Schapiro will step down as
chairwoman after a tumultuous
tenure in which she helped lead the
governments regulatory response to
the 2008 nancial crisis.
Replacing her will be Elisse
Walter, one of ve SEC commission-
ers, whose career path has tracked
Schapiros for nearly three decades.
Walter has served under Schapiro
at both the SEC and the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, the
securities industrys self-policing
organization. Both women worked at
the SEC in the 1980s. Walter was
also general counsel of the
Commodity Futures Trading
Commission when Schapiro led that
agency in the mid-1990s.
Shes expected to follow the
approach Schapiro took at the SEC
over nearly four years.
President Barack Obama on
Monday announced his choice of
Walter, who will take over at a criti-
cal time for the SEC, which is seek-
ing stricter rules for money-market
mutual funds and must get into
shape the so-called Volcker Rule,
which would bar banks from making
certain trades for their own prot.

Whistleblower plan
gets yanked again
Editor,
Supervisor Don Horsley made sure
that item number nine was removed
from the agenda before the public
could even hear the presentation
(Ofcials hold off on whistleblower
fund in the Nov. 21 edition of the
Daily Journal).
The supervisors should at least be
open to hear plans and ideas from other
supervisors. Supervisor Dave Pine
asked his fellow board members to at
least hear the presentation on the plan
before yanking it from the Nov. 20
agenda. That did not happen. That is
exactly what a presentation is all about.
I believe Horsleys behavior was
shameful. Lets take a look at the idea,
its been 10 years since the San Mateo
County Civil Grand Jury made a more
powerful recommendation. Single point
contact for reporting crimes, not just
fraud. Independent from the county
ofcials and supervisors. How else can
we possibly protect our employees?

Schwab guest perspective
Editor,
Thank you for printing Dwight
Schwabs guest perspective, The next
four years, in the Nov. 17 edition of the
Daily Journal. The sheep are warned, but
they wont listen. They never do. Witness
in 1960 when Harvard students hoisted
Fidel Castro on their shoulders and ran
him around the campus. Or in 1933,
when 93 percent of all Germans and
Austrians voted for Adolf Hitler. Yes
there were sheep and dumbos then also.
Would we have so many sheep today if
our pitiful schools hadnt removed facts
like these from their curriculum?
Probably.

Enough of Dwight Schwab
Editor,
Oh, dear what did I start? Having
read Dwight L. Schwabs initial guest
perspective a couple of months ago, I
immediately zipped off my response to
his far right-wing craziness. I thoroughly
enjoyed reading his twisted logic, as I
always appreciate seeing people publish
their idiocy for all to examine. On the
other hand, I suggested that he should
appear in the San Mateo Daily Journal
on a limited basis, say four, perhaps ve,
times a year hed always be good for
a laugh.
But since hes been given a frequent
forum in your publication in the ensuing
months, a signicant number of my fel-
low readers have complained about him.
Curiously, hes suggested that hes
qualied to express his silly viewpoints
more than once, because he has a mas-
ters degree in journalism. Whoops
laying words on paper only indicates that
a person knows how to lay words on
paper. As best I know, a journalism stu-
dent must report, in an unbiased manner,
the goings-on of the society around him.
Of course, when a journalism student
earns a columnist position, as I did, he
can go beyond strict reportorial limits,
but he must also not go beyond rationali-
ty.
In my own college newspaper experi-
ence, a rogue newspaper appeared on
campus, and it spewed right-wing crazi-
ness beyond belief. Rationality went out
the window when the rogue paper
appeared on campus.
In any case, I still would like to see
Schwabs nonsense on a very limited
basis, my fellow readers opinions
notwithstanding.

The (Riverside) Press-Enterprise
C
redit the California State
University systems incoming
chancellor with setting the
right tone from the start. New
Chancellor Timothy Whites request to
trim his proposed pay sends a useful
message for a university system facing
nancial challenges: University
trustees, administrators and employees
should all play a role in restraining the
systems costs.
Cal State trustees initially offered
White the same salary as outgoing
Chancellor Charles Reed $421,500
annually, plus a yearly supplement of
$30,000 from the California State
University Foundation. White, now
chancellor of UC Riverside, asked the
board to cut his salary by 10 percent, to
set an example at a time when the sys-
tem has cut spending and increased stu-
dent fees. White will still do well nan-
cially; his new salary will be $380,000
a year, plus the $30,000 annual supple-
ment and a package of benets includ-
ing a $1,000 a month car allowance.
But the incoming chancellors pay
cut shows a grasp of the scal and
political realities facing Cal State that
has often eluded university ofcials.
The Board of Trustees last year ran into
criticism after paying the new president
of San Diego State $100,000 more than
his predecessor. The trustees created the
highest-paid campus president in the
system on the same day they voted to
increase student fees by 12 percent.
That action created the perception that
top-rank pay for administrators took
precedence over the universitys other
needs a dangerous impression for a
public university to leave with taxpay-
ers.
Granted, the savings from Whites
lower salary represent only a fraction of
the university systems budget, which is
more than $3.9 billion this scal year.
But the university has seen state fund-
ing shrink by $950 million since 2007-
08. During that same period, basic
tuition for full-time students jumped
from $2,772 in 2007-08 to $5,472 this
year. Nor does voters approval of tax
hikes this month end the need for scal
restraint. The tax vote merely avoids
additional spending restraints this year,
and any additional money will be only
temporary.
The new chancellors gesture, howev-
er, signals shared sacrice an espe-
cially useful signal to university
employees, whose cooperation will be
essential in controlling the systems
costs. Cal State faculty had frequently
criticized lucrative administrative pay
decisions while the university was cut-
ting programs and limiting enrollment.
Whites voluntary pay reduction can
help change that dynamic.
Cal State does need to offer competi-
tive salaries to attract top talent, but
trustees need to balance such decisions
against the universitys scal realities.
And measurements of competitive-
ness should be accurate. The states
legislative analyst last year pointed out
pay-inating aws in the systems exec-
utive salary comparisons aws that
trustees have never rectied.
Cal State should be focused on fur-
thering the universitys core educational
mission, not squabbling over top of-
cials salaries. White seems to recog-
nize that fact, and his salary decision
helps shift the discussion back where it
belongs, on cost-effective higher educa-
tion.

S
tep aside, navy. Friday is the new black, at least in
referencing the day after Thanksgiving. But now
the annual spending extravaganza known as Black
Friday is really Black Thursday since so many big name
retailers are taking the
game of holiday sales
chicken to a new level.
Not only do they now
open on Thanksgiving but
they one up one another
by doing so during hours
when most sane people are
either still devouring
turkey or working off the
tryptophan to make room
for pumpkin pie.
So if Thursday is actual-
ly the new Friday, did that
make the last midweek
day some other color?
Charcoal perhaps or a
lovely shade of gray any one of 50 even?
Then theres Saturday which was supposedly devoted to
local businesses but didnt seem to put a damper on the
crowds hovering for parking spaces at any number of
malls. Shoppers would be smart to avoid chain outlets,
though, if only because they are safer for life and limb.
Notice how the videos of brawls over womens underwear
or fist fights for deeply discounted televisions only happen
at Victorias Secret or Walmart.
In the great spirit of Christianity, Sunday seemed to be a
day of rest (in that vein, a What Would Jesus Buy?
bracelet would make a great stocking stuffer) before push-
ing ahead yesterday on Cyber Monday. Lore holds that the
Monday after Thanksgiving is when those exhausted from
turning turkey into creative leftovers and idling in packed
parking lots hunker down in front of a computer. With a
few clicks, they can order up goodies for Christmas or
Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or whatever holiday suits rather
than losing hours in stores playing the does it look like it
fits? game followed by another round of guessing just
how long can this line humanely last?
With those newly-minted traditions now past for 2012,
rumor has it today is yet another example of shopping dic-
tated by a cutesy nickname: Mobile Tuesday. I guess
Tacky Tuesday conjured up too many images of holiday-
themed sweaters and light-up socks.
In any case, Mobile Tuesday aims to part shoppers with
their dollars by using the promise of deals only secured
via a mobile device. Makes some sense, I suppose. Many
people already use their phones as a retail tool, price com-
paring in aisles or checking for coupons and promotional
discounts before heading to the register. The plan isnt to
give brick and mortar shops a run for their money but aug-
ment the sales much as the Cyber Monday deals bolster
the overall bottom line. Call this newly titled day another
way to cell, if you will.
But even if you wont, Mobile Tuesday isnt going away.
The name may sound silly; heck, it might even actually be
silly. But regardless, it is yet another addition to the ever-
increasing advent calendar of mass consumerism. To
recap, shop on actual Thanksgiving if youre an early bird
but save some room for Black Friday. Its tradition, if only
to provide pop culture with another example of deadly
lunacy over a cheap blender. Then comes Small Business
Saturday cant forget the local guys followed by a
brief respite and Cyber Monday. Frankly, the latest mar-
keting scheme today doesnt have much new going for it
other than another endless, albeit different, stream of deals
If anything, its best selling point is rationalizing the
money shelled out for that Kindle or iPad or Android
tablet. Look! It pays for itself with all the money saved on
Mobile Tuesday!
The real question is, after all these days whats left?
Maybe thats tomorrows rousing call to action Whats
Left Wednesday. Tomorrow can be sort of like picking
through the clearance aisles before powering through the
next four weeks of last-minute markdowns, jingle-scored
shopping trips and egg nog-soaked festivities.
Really, though, who actually needs a laundry list of
explicit shopping days to dictate whipping out the plastic
or clicking the Bill Me Later button? The season now
begins far before Thanksgiving long before Halloween
even so it is not as if shoppers actually require fingers
pointing them in the retail direction. All the labels offer is
justification to spend and that, undoubtedly, is priceless.

2.86 to 1,406.29. And the Nasdaq com-
posite index managed a 9.93-point
increase to 2,976.78.
Utility stocks rose the most, while
telecommunications companies fell the
most.
The major U.S. economic reports
were not due until later in the week,
leaving investors to rehash the
European debt crisis and talks in
Washington over the cliff of tax
increases and government spending
cuts set to take effect Jan. 1.
The themes seem about as recycled
as Thanksgiving turkey, David Kelly,
chief global strategist at JPMorgan
Funds, wrote in a note to clients.
He expected a better read on the
economy later this week, with reports
on consumer confidence on Tuesday
and unemployment claims and third-
quarter economic growth on Thursday.
Scott Carmack, co-portfolio manager
at Leader Capital in Portland, Ore.,
said the decline Monday was all but
inevitable after last week, when the
Dow climbed 3.3 percent because of
encouraging signs from Washington
and good economic news overseas.
That made Monday a good day to
cash out on last weeks gains, Carmack
said, especially because traders arent
sure how the fiscal cliff will affect the
market for the rest of the year.
Monday is a good day to take prof-
its, Carmack said. No one was in on
Friday, so theyre doing it Monday.
The National Retail Federation
reported that 247 million shoppers vis-
ited stores and shopping websites dur-
ing the long Thanksgiving weekend, up
9 percent from a year ago. They spent
an average of $423, up 6 percent.
Some worry that the momentum
wont last, and that deep discounting
will hurt stores. Macys fell $1.87, or
4.5 percent, to $39.86. Saks dropped 29
cents, or 2.8 percent, to $10.23. Target
declined $1.71, or 2.6 percent ,to
$62.77.

NEW YORK Facebooks stock is
climbing after an upgrade from an ana-
lyst who believes Wall Street is underes-
timating the companys potential to
grow revenue.
Bernstein Research analyst Carlos
Kirjner said Monday that Facebook Inc.
is likely to beat Wall Streets revenue
expectations over the next 12 to 24
months. He expects Facebook to hit
$6.98 billion in revenue in 2013, some 9
percent higher than the average ana-
lysts expectation. In 2011, the social
network reported revenue of $3.71 bil-
lion.
Kirjner upgraded Facebooks stock to
Outperform from Market Perform,
saying that mobile advertising will drive
revenue growth. He wrote in a note to
investors that Facebook will likely be
able to increase the number of adver-
tisements its users view each day, with
little chance they will see the additional
ads as a material deterioration of their
Facebook experience.
That said, Kirjner still thinks
Facebook is a risky investment, because
it depends on the long-term success of
social advertising a still new and
unproven advertising model.
Facebooks stock is up $1.85, or 7.7
percent, at $25.85. Its still down 32 per-
cent from its initial public offering price
of $38.

SAN FRANCISCO Yahoos
shares touched $19 Monday, the rst
time they have traded that high in more
than two and half years.
The latest gains extend a rally that has
been gaining momentum in recent
weeks as Yahoo Inc. buys back its own
stock and more investors bet on CEO
Marissa Mayers ability to turn around
the long-struggling company.
Mayer, a former top executive at
Internet search leader Google Inc.,
became Yahoos fifth CEO in less than
a year when the company hired her in
July. Since her arrival, Mayer has
vowed to make Sunnyvale company a
better place to work, refine its online
services and roll out more products tai-
lored for smartphones and tablet com-
puters.
Yahoo has also been trying to boost its
stock price by spending most of money
that it received from a recent deal to buy
back its own shares.
After taxes, the company pocketed
$4.3 billion by selling half its stake in
Chinese Internet company Alibaba
Group Ltd. Mayer has pledged to spend
$3.6 billion buying back Yahoos stock,
including $600 million that had gone
toward share repurchases before the
Alibaba deal closed in mid-September.
Yahoo had spent $212 million buying
back 13 million shares from Oct. 1
through Nov. 8, according to a recent
regulatory filing, with $928 million
spent so far this year.
Since Mayer made the buyback com-
mitment, Yahoos stock has climbed by
nearly 20 percent. The shares hit $19 in
Mondays early trading for the rst time
since April 2010.

OMAHA, Neb. Billionaire Warren
Buffett is again calling for higher taxes
on the ultrarich and hes urging
Congress to compromise on spending
cuts and tax increases.
Buffett expressed his views on scal
policy Monday in an opinion article that
appeared in The New York Times on the
same day Congress returned from the
Thanksgiving holiday.
In the article, Buffett mocked the idea
that investors would pull back if capital
gains taxes increase. Buffett said hes
never seen that happen, even when capi-
tal gains taxes were above 25 percent
early in his investing career.
Lets forget about the rich and ultra-
rich going on strike and stufng their
ample funds under their mattresses if
gasp capital gains
rates and ordinary
income rates are
increased, Buffett
said. The ultrarich,
including me, will
forever pursue invest-
ment opportunities.
Buffett, who is
chairman and CEO
of Omaha-based
Berkshire Hathaway
Inc., has complained for several years
that Congress has been coddling the
wealthy, and President Barack Obama
even called one of his tax reform pro-
posals the Buffett Rule.
His assistant, Carrie Sova, said Buffett
was not available for interviews about
his tax article Monday. Sova said the
only interviews Buffett was doing
Monday were part of a promotional
campaign for a new book about him.
Buffett in his opinion piece said the
current tax system has contributed to the
growing gap between rich and poor. He
said he supports Obamas proposal to
end the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy,
but hed prefer setting the point where
taxes increase at $500,000 income,
instead of the $250,000 the White House
proposed.
He also reiterated his call for a mini-
mum tax of 30 percent on income
between $1 million and $10 million, and
a 35 percent rate for income above that.
Buffett said both Republicans and
Democrats will have to make major con-
cessions to deal with the nations scal
problems. Congress is trying to address
the so-called scal cliff of automatic
tax increases and spending cuts that
could be triggered at the start of the new
year.

HP investor sues company
for handling of two deals
SAN FRANCISCO A Hewlett-Packard shareholder
has led a lawsuit alleging the troubled technology com-
panys top executives misled investors about two key
acquisitions that have caused billions of dollars in losses.
The complaint led Monday in a San Francisco federal
court comes after Hewlett-Packard Co. stunned Wall Street
last week with its own allegations of accounting shenani-
gans at Autonomy, a business software maker it acquired
for $10 billion last year.
The lawsuit led by shareholder Allen Nicolow alleges
HP management concealed the problems at Autonomy and
another recent acquisition, Electronic Data Systems, in an
attempt to boost HPs stock price.
The stock has lost more than half its value so far this
year.

COACH ON THE FARM: STANFORDS DAVID SHAW IS NAMED PAC-12 COACH OF THE YEAR >>> PAGE 12
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Imagine for a couple seconds that
you are a defensive player on a football
eld and youre looking across the line
of scrimmage at the Sacred Heart Prep
backeld.
Kevin Donahoe, the quarterback,
starts barking out his signals while
Ryan Gaertner and Andrew Segre stand
behind him, hands on hips, waiting.
Then, from the left or right end of the
offensive line, Chris Lee pivots back
and sprints across the formation begin-
ning a series of events that the Gators
hope will translate into a touchdown.
So, as a defender, do you key in on
Gaertner? Or is your focus on Segre?
What if Lee gets the ball?
Such has been the dilemma all season
long for SHP opponents. In 12 games
this season, the Gators have rushed for
3,230 yards at an average of 269 a game
and over six yards a carry. Their lowest
total of the year was 139 which, not sur-
prisingly, came in their only loss so far
this season.
And at the core of their attack are
running backs Gaertner and Segre, who
lead the team with 1,023 and 581 yards
After another big win, 49ers QBs still in limbo
By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA Jim Harbaugh has
watched each of his two quarterbacks lead the
San Francisco 49ers to big wins in hostile,
road environments Alex Smith in the sea-
son opener at Green Bays Lambeau Field
back in September among others, and Colin
Kaepernick on Sunday at the New Orleans
Superdome.
Which one gets the ball on Sunday when
the 49ers travel to St. Louis? Harbaugh is still
mum on that, though he did say Monday he
will formally announce his starting quarter-
back by mid-week so the players dont have to
face constant questions about what they know
about the situation.
Kaepernick said he was told late Saturday
in a team meeting ahead of Sundays start
against the Saints.
Then, on Monday, Harbaugh offered this
for thought: Yes, hes keeping everybody
guessing again. Sort of.
Alex Smith is our starting quarterback. He
has not done anything to lose that job,
Harbaugh said. In fact, hes playing at a very
high level. Also, Colin Kaepernick, you cant
categorize him as a backup quarterback,
because hes started games and played very
well in those games.
Clearly, Harbaugh is growing tired of all the
talk about his quarterback situation, even if
much of the drama is of his own creation
and he refuses to categorize it as a contro-
versy with two capable guys in the mix each
week. He said again Monday that anything is
possible this week, even using both quarter-
backs in the game.
The guys will be hammered, Harbaugh
said. You go to Colin, you go to Alex,
Should you be the starter? Hes got no good
answer for you. He says, Yes, I should be the
starter were talking either one and you
look like youre just building up yourself. If
you say no, then they hammer you because

Football in
perspective
I
t wasnt too long ago that Serra football
coach Patrick Walsh would have been
seething following a loss like the one
the Padres suffered when they came up short
against Bellarmine, 17-12, in the Central
Coast Section Open Division seminal game
Friday night.
But Walsh has found a sort of serenity, a
spirituality, when it
comes to high school
football, which
allows him to put it
into perspective.
Dont get me wrong.
The man wants to
win in the worst way.
But no longer does
the nal score really
matter. He is now all
about the process of
getting his team
ready to play the
game, putting his
team in the best posi-
tion to win and then letting the chips fall
where they may. The nal score doesnt mat-
ter as much, as long as he believes his team
played well and gave it their all.
Friday night, his team, especially the
defense, played one of its best games of the
season. The Padres shut down a Bellarmine
team that was averaging 30 points per game

Lots of boom in last
weeks performances
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
While keeping statistics during sporting
events is a pretty efcient way of nding ath-
letes who belong in the Daily Journals week-
ly Honor Roll, unfortunately many football
teams dont have someone on the sideline in
charge of an Oh my God tally.
So, this weeks Honor Roll begins with an
ode to the big hits provided by the Sacred
Heart Prep defense more specifically,
sophomore Ben Burr-Kirven.
On one of the many Gator kickoffs during
Saturdays 47-17 shelling of Soquel High
School, Burr-Kirven was a guided missile
dressed in a red jersey. No. 25 blasted through
the Knights wedge and annihilated the Soquel
returner so much so that every single pho-
tographer on the Sacred Heart Prep sideline let
out a simultaneous ohhhh! yes, one of a
couple extra Hs.
Chances are, Soquels Tucker Wiget is still
feeling that hit. The Daily Journal denitely is.

respectively. Lee chimes in at a respectable
376 (close to six yards a carry himself). In
fact, at least eight different rushers have over
115 yards, six have over 219.
We really have the luxury of having a
three-headed monster, said SHP head coach
Pete Lavorato. And we have a couple of other
players that can run as well. Our offense is
difcult because you just dont know for sure
whos getting the ball.
Soquel High School found out just how dif-
cult in Saturdays game. The Gators rolled to
a 47-17 win, rushing for 301 yards on 50 car-
ries Gaertner led the charge with 122,
Segre pitched with 104 while Lee added 21.
Not only was their collective good enough
to secure them a spot in the Central Coast
Section Division IV nal this Saturday, but
Gaertner, Segre and Lee are the San Mateo
Daily Journal Co-athletes of the Week.
All three are very unselsh, Lavorato
said. They dont care who scores. You call
the play and if they happen to score, they
score. I think all three do a good job of faking
it, because its really important in our offense
if you dont have the ball, you have to act like
you do. If you do a really good job faking, that
helps the other running backs.
All three runners played a key role in
Saturdays win with Segre scoring four touch-
downs and Gaertner adding one more. But
whether its No. 34 nding the end zone, or
No. 4, the reality for defenses is, each one rep-
resents a different headache.
Ryan is more of a slasher, darter kind of
guy. A lot of yards come from making people
miss in the secondary once he gets through
the hole, Lavorato said.
Andrew is more of a power guy. Hes
going to run it hard. He still has some pretty
good moves, but hes going to run over you as
opposed to around you. Hes just a really good
athlete.
He came into our school and he was a soc-
cer player at rst. Hes just so powerful. Hes
got a combination of power and speed and
good moves. And hes just getting better and
better. Were very pleased with his perform-
ance. Hes a tough guy to bring down.
On Saturday, the key for SHP was their
ability to throw the ball in the rst half to
build a 33-10 lead. But all of their success
downeld came from the Gators ability to set
up the play action off the three-headed mon-
ster.
Its my favorite combination, Lavorato
said. You have to have faith in your quarter-
back to get the ball where it needs to get to or
else teams will just load up the box. Having a
running game as good as it is enables us to
throw the ball because teams have to take
chances to stop the run.
And at the core of the three-headed mon-
sters success is an offensive line that has been
nails all season long, and a signal caller in
Donahoe who understands the offense like a
rst language.
It all starts with the offensive line,
Lavorato said. Its a team deal. I dont think
Kevin gets enough credit because he makes it
difcult for the defense, even if we dont
throw the ball and things break down, thats
when were really dangerous because of
Kevins running ability.

SANTA CLARA San Francisco 49ers
wide receiver and return man Kyle Williams
said Monday he will miss the rest of the sea-
son with a torn ligament
in his left knee sustained
in Sundays win at New
Orleans.
Williams posted on his
Twitter account that he
has a torn anterior cruci-
ate ligament in the knee.
Surgery would be the
likely next step.
Regret to inform yall
I will be out for the season with a torn ACL,
Williams tweeted. Not how I saw things
playing out. This is just another obstacle I will
have to climb to get back. Looking forward to
the challenge!! Love all true fans your prayers
are much appreciated.
Coach Jim Harbaugh provided no updates
Monday, but did say it appeared Williams was
hurt before any contact was made when his
foot stuck in the ground.
Well see. We havent got the nal report
and wed wait til we get that before we brief
Kyle and some of the others, Harbaugh said.
It was a hard-hitting game. It took a toll.
Williams and running back Kendall Hunter
both were hurt on the same play during the
second half of Sundays 31-21 win over the
Saints.
Both were helped off the eld and were
soon after taken by cart to the locker room.
They were injured on a running play in which
Hunter carried the ball for a 2-yard gain late in
the third quarter.
The 24-year-old Williams a third-year
pro who had two costly fumbles in a 20-17
loss to the Giants in last seasons NFC cham-
pionship game had 14 catches for 212
yards and a touchdown this year.
With the injuries, Harbaugh is likely to call
upon rookie receiver A.J. Jenkins and rookie
running back LaMichael James this week
against the Rams in St. Louis.
Theres a good chance therell be some
new active guys on Sunday, Harbaugh said.
Yeah, I send that message to some of our
young guys, some of our inactive guys that the
opportunity is coming. You say that every
week to them, Be prepared, be prepared.
Youd rather be prepared for your opportunity
and have it not come than have your opportu-
nity come and not be prepared. To both those
youngsters credit, and others who have been
working extremely hard for their opportunity,
we feel good and excited that a couple of
those youngsters will get that opportunity.

STANFORD The day David Shaw
became Stanfords head coach almost two
years ago, he said he
never wanted to interview
for another football job
again. He walked out of
his rst news conference
and up to his new ofce,
where he spent about 90
minutes reflecting with
his father, Willie Shaw,
who had lost out on the
same position to Bill
Walsh two decades prior.
There was a tear or two shed in there,
Willie Shaw said.
At the rate his son is going, job security no
longer seems to be an issue. Instead, Shaw
will likely have suitors calling from all over
soon though he still insists hes not going
anywhere.
The former Cardinal wide receiver and
assistant has not only kept his alma mater a
national power, he has started to build his own
legacy on The Farm. Shaw won the Pac-12
Conferences Coach of the Year award for the
second straight season Monday, becoming
only the fourth coach in league history to take
home the honor in consecutive years.
Shaw also has a chance to do something
even his more prominent predecessor, Jim
Harbaugh, never could: win the league
title and secure a Rose Bowl berth when
eighth-ranked Stanford (10-2, 8-1) hosts
No. 17 UCLA (9-3, 6-3) in the league
championship game Friday.
Very seldom do you get to see somebody
live their dream, whether theyre your son or
not, Willie Shaw said. Hes living that
dream.
While Harbaugh turned Stanford into a sur-
prising contender, Shaws steady hand has
kept the program going strong since the San
Francisco 49ers hired Harbaugh away in
January 2011.
Shaw led the Cardinal to an 11-1 record
before a 41-38 overtime loss to Oklahoma
State in last seasons Fiesta Bowl. This year
has perhaps been even more impressive: Shaw
helped Stanford overcome the departure of
No. 1 overall draft pick Andrew Luck, seam-
lessly made a midseason quarterback change
from Josh Nunes to redshirt freshman Kevin
Hogan and overtook Oregon to win the
leagues North Division crown.
Even still, when asked after Monday nights
practice what he thought of winning the award
in his rst two seasons, Shaw said, Crazy,
isnt it?
I was surprised, Shaw said. To be honest,
I didnt even think about it. Im very appre-
ciative. Very grateful. There are a lot of guys
in this conference that I respect very, very
highly. And for those guys to vote for me, its
humbling.
Shaws relentless recruiting also has put
Stanford in position to contend in the Pac-12
and perhaps even more for the next sev-
eral years with a roster stacked with under-
classmen who are already key contributors.
So much so that Shaw gures to be the latest
David Shaw building his own legacy at Stanford

U.S. federal mediators
to join NHL labor talks
WASHINGTON Federal medi-
ators are entering the stalled NHL
labor talks, with the seasons rst 2
1/2 months already lost because of
the lockout.
George Cohen, director of the

Beckenbaugh, director of mediation
services John Sweeney and
Commissioner Guy Serota.

SAO PAULO Brazilians
selected the name Fuleco for the
armadillo mascot for the 2014
World Cup after a three-month vote
derided by fans as undemocratic.
FIFA said Sunday more than 1.7
million people in Brazil took part in
the vote to select the name. The
other choices were Zuzeco and
Amijubi.
Polls across the country had
shown the vast majority of
Brazilians were not pleased with the
names picked for public voting, and
critics said organizers should have
allowed fans to choose other names.
There was even an online petition
demanding a more democratic
approach in which the public could
make suggestions.
Fuleco comes from the
Portuguese words futebol (foot-
ball) and ecologia (ecology), and
FIFA said it seamlessly represents
the way in which the FIFA World
Cup can combine the two to encour-
age people to behave in an environ-
mentally friendly way.
Soccers governing body said
Fuleco received 48 percent of the
vote, while 31 percent went for
Zuzeco and 21 percent for Amijubi.
Amijubi comes from the words
amizade (friendship) and jubilo
(joy), while Zuzeco comes from
azul (blue) and ecologia (ecolo-
gy).
FIFA said the three options were
chosen by a high-prole judging
committee that included former
Brazil player Bebeto and Brazilian
celebrities and politicians.
Organizers said it wouldnt have
been feasible to allow fans to send
in suggestions because the names
needed to fulfill several legal
requirements involving trademarks
and other rights.
FIFA said studies showed that the
top terms used by the public to
describe Fuleco included
Brazilian, nature, friendly
and passion for football.
This clearly shows that
Brazilians already recognize the
signicance of the armadillo as an
important ambassador for the 2014
FIFA World Cup and his role in
inspiring fans all over the world
with his passion for the sport and
his country, FIFA said in a state-
ment.
The armadillo, which is in danger
of extinction, has three distinctive
bands on its shell and is found in
northeast Brazil. It was introduced
as the mascot in September.
The armadillo rolls up into the
shape of a ball when threatened.
The mascot carries the colors of the
Brazilian ag the armadillo is
yellow, with green shorts and a blue
shell and tail. It is dressed in a white

coach David Shaw has won the Pac-
12 Conferences Coach of the Year
award for the second straight sea-
son.
Southern California wide receiver
Marqise Lee also was named the
leagues Offensive Player of the
Year and Arizona State defensive
tackle Will Sutton the Defensive
Player of the Year on Monday.
Oregon quarterback Marcus
Mariota took home Offensive
Freshman of the Year honors and
Trojans freshman defensive end
Leonard Williams won on the defen-
sive side.
Shaw is the fourth coach in league
history to win the award in consecu-

overall draft pick Andrew Luck,
seamlessly made a midseason quar-
terback change from Josh Nunes to
Kevin Hogan and overtook Oregon
to take the North Division crown.
Lee set conference records with
112 receptions for 1,680 yards to go
with 14 touchdowns. Sutton led the
Pac-12 with 1.82 tackles for loss per

NEW YORK Don Garber says
David Beckham did everything
Major League Soccer asked of him
to grow the sport in the United
States during his 5 1/2 seasons with
the Los Angeles Galaxy.
The 37-year-old former England
captain plays his final competitive
match for the Galaxy on Saturday
in the MLS Cup against Houston.
When Beckham left Real Madrid
in 2007 to sign a $32.5 million,
five-year deal with the Galaxy,
Beckham said he wanted to win
and increase the leagues populari-
ty both domestically and abroad.
The Galaxy won last years title
and are in the final for the third
time in four years.
I dont think anybody would
doubt that he has overdelivered on
every one of those measures,
Garber said during a telephone
conference call Monday, his annual
state of the league session as com-
missioner.
Theres arguably not a soccer
fan on this planet that doesnt know
the LA Galaxy and Major League
Soccer, and David played a signifi-
cant role in helping us make that
happen. He was an unbelievable
ambassador for the league, for the
Galaxy.
The leagues regular season
attendance average increased from
15,504 in 2006 to 17,872 in 2011
and a record 18,807 this year.

you dont think you should be the starter.
Then the people, so-called subject matter
experts, who talk about, You should be mak-
ing a fuss about it or a stink about it, you
shouldnt be that accommodating, it sends a
completely wrong message, to me, for young
athletes out there, or high school quarter-
backs, where their coach is trying to tell them
its about the team and all of us working
together. So that one gets me upset. Thats not
what our two guys are about.
The NFC West-leading Niners (8-2-1) now
own the second-best record in the NFC
behind Atlanta as they head to face the Rams
in a game that will mean plenty for both teams
after their 24-24 tie Nov. 11.
In recent weeks, Harbaugh has vowed to go
with the hot hand as his quarterback. Now,
he has two guys who t that mold, yet
Kaepernick has won back-to-back games in
his rst two NFL starts the rst last
Monday night against the Bears before Smith
was medically cleared from his concussion.
For now, Harbaugh seems to be playing
both sides. He wouldnt say when asked
whether he has already made a decision for
Sunday.
I think it starts with this week, this game,
what gives our team the best chance to win
this game, like it would at any position,
Harbaugh said. So in a unique situation, you
have two quarterbacks that are playing at a
very high level. Ones your captain, your
starting quarterback. The other has played
great football the last three football games.
Smith, the 2005 No. 1 overall draft pick,
hardly looked happy on the sideline Sunday.
Last week, he said the 49ers have a good
problem with him and Kaepernick able to lead
the team to victory, and he plans to remain
positive regarding whats best for the 49ers.
Hes a class act all the way team player,
thats why he has been voted captain by our
players, Harbaugh said. Theyre great team
guys, theyre great example guys. We need
them both. Both have played extremely well.
In his two NFL starts last week and his
other brief moments in relief, Kaepernick has
completed 48 of 74 passes for 680 yards and
three touchdowns with one interception and
was sacked six times. He has a 102.3 passer
rating.
Hes a good athlete and I know that we
respected him. You dont really know until
you get on him for real, Saints defensive
coordinator Steve Spagnuolo said Monday. I
tip my hat to him. We had some people on him
who could have nished him and didnt and
thats because hes a pretty good athlete and
that makes it tough. Hes going to make a lot
of people miss.
Smith, meanwhile, has completed 26 of his
last 28 passes and sports a 104.1 passer rating
with 13 touchdowns.
While so much attention is on the teams
quarterback situation, the 49ers opportunistic
defense produced a pair of pick-sixes by
Ahmad Brooks and Donte Whitner and
sacked record-setting Saints quarterback
Drew Brees ve times Sunday.
Harbaugh will be looking for the same kind
of performances Sunday against the Rams.
Both teams missed eld goals in overtime and
left Candlestick Park feeling as if they let the
game slip away. It was the NFLs rst tie in
four years.
Not that Harbaugh is looking back at that
frustrating nish.
Really have a whole new light on unn-
ished business. I think all this is new busi-
ness, he said. The new business is this
game, this most important game because its
our next game. Its just that hard focus on that.
Its not about unnished business, its about
new business. New business is getting pre-
pared to travel well, prepare to practice well
and prepare to go there and do what it takes to
be victorious.

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders are
desperately in search of some sort of positive
news.
The Raiders (3-8) just finished perhaps the
worst month in franchise history by losing all
four games in November, capped by three
straight losses by at least 21 points
The teams first four-game skid since 2008
assures Oakland of a 10th straight season
without a winning record and has turned the
focus to the future rather than a playoff run.
Its been mind-blowing, defensive tackle
Tommy Kelly said. I would have never, in
my wildest dreams, thought we would be 3-8
right now.
Coach Dennis Allen said everyone is
accountable for the problems that have
turned a team that was one win away from a
division title last season into an also-ran this
year.
He said he will look at all options to get
things back on track, including possibly find-
ing a role for third-string quarterback
Terrelle Pryor.
Pryor has been inactive all 11 games this
year and has been on the field only once in
two seasons since being taken in the supple-
mental draft last year. He committed a false
start before his only snap last year against
Kansas City and then got
limited duty in the pre-
season.
Hes working to get
better and hes working
to improve, Allen said.
Ive seen improvement
in Terrelle. Hes gotten
better as a quarterback.
Hes continued to work. I
dont think any of us feel
like hes the finished
product, including himself. But he has
worked to improve.
Starter Carson Palmer struggled Sunday in
his homecoming to Cincinnati, throwing for
a season-low 146 yards and turning the ball
over twice in a 38-17 loss to the Bengals. But
he has been far from the biggest problem on
a Raiders team that has struggled to generate
a consistent run game all season and been
historically bad on defense.
If Pryor gets a chance to play down the
stretch, it would most likely be in a limited
role that took advantage of his mobility.
The situation at quarterback wont matter
much if the Raiders cant get better play
defensively. They have allowed 169 points
over the last four games, the second most in
a four-game span since the merger in 1970.
With the offense struggling to move the
ball consistently the last few weeks, the
Raiders have been blown out each time. They
have been outscored by 70 points in the loss-
es, falling by at least 21 points in three
straight games for the first time in franchise
history.
The Raiders have allowed 51 plays that
have gone for at least 20 yards, including an
NFL-worst 13 touchdowns on those big gain-
ers as they have struggled to follow their
assignments and tackle downfield.
I feel like if we could just focus in and
execute not 99 percent of the time, not 95
percent of the time, 100 percent of the time,
wed be a lot better on defense, cornerback
Joselio Hanson said. Thats just the way it
has gone right now. Were not at 100 percent
out there. If we get beat doing our job, thats
the thing. Some of the plays were beating
ourselves and giving them plays.
The frustration of losing has started to boil
over as evidenced by a scrum that led to the
ejections of defensive linemen Lamarr
Houston and Tommy Kelly in Cincinnati.
Houston tackled quarterback Andy Dalton
after the whistle for a false start penalty,
leading to a fight with offensive lineman
Andrew Whitworth. Both players got ejected
as did Kelly, who joined the melee as he was
coming onto the field for the next play.

in a long line of Cardinal coaches
whose name begins to gain traction
for even bigger jobs in the offseason.
New Stanford athletic director
Bernard Muir takes that as a com-
pliment. While he wont publicly
discuss whether he plans to extend
Shaws four-year contract after two
years this offseason, Muir said he
knows that Shaw wants to be here
for quite some time, and weve got
to be here to support him.
Its just been so impressive to
watch him work and do his craft and
do it so well, said Muir, who took
over in mid-August after Bob
Bowlsby left to become the Big 12
Conference commissioner. Im just
so impressed by his demeanor, just
taking everything in stride and
being able to execute his plan and
his vision for the program.
That vision has started to become
clearer.
All of 40 years old, Shaw has
showed the ability to bond with
players in ways even Harbaugh
couldnt, understanding as he does
the intricacies of a rigorous academ-
ics university that practically raised
him: as a coachs son, student, play-
er, assistant coach, husband and
father he even proposed to his
wife, Kori, outside of Stanfords
Memorial Church, then convinced
her to wait more than a year
because it takes that long to get
married in the Stanford church.
He came here, he played here, he
knows what the type of players who
go here are like, said fth-year
linebacker Chase Thomas, who was
recruited by Harbaugh. The strenu-
ous activities of school and athlet-
ics. He knows what Stanford is
about, and he denitely shows that.
Shaw has emerged from the shad-
ow of the man who rebuilt Stanford
and put his own stamp on the pro-
gram.
He doesnt sleep in his ofce,
work 20-hour days or show emotion
the way Harbaugh often did. He
avoids scheduling early morning
meetings so assistant coaches can
have breakfast with their kids and
take them to school.
Often times his wife and their
three children Keegan, Carter
and Gavin are waiting after prac-
tice.

and scored 35 on them during the regular
season. Unfortunately, the Padres came up
six inches short Friday night when on fourth
and goal at the Bellarmine two-yard line, the
Padres could not punch it in.
Instead of lamenting the missed opportuni-
ty, Walsh was philosophical following the
game.
I wholeheartedly bought into the jour-
ney, Walsh said. The journey of 2012 is
one that will last a lifetime (for these play-
ers).
He was not even willing to admit if the
nal outcome was disappointing or frustrat-
ing.
I wouldnt use any negative words (to
describe the game) because of how we
played, Walsh said.
Walsh is now all about the friendships,
relationships and brotherhood created during
a football campaign. There was no talk about
the game during the Padres post-game hud-
dle. All Walsh told his team was how proud
he was of them and that he loved them all.
He wrapped it up with, Its OK to cry.
I was dreading talking to Walsh following
the game, because in the past, he could be
somewhat prickly. While he was always pro-
fessional, there was always the feeling youd
better ask the right question if you wanted to
get a good response.
Not Friday night. He was open and candid
about the game. There was a relaxed calm
during our interview session and, while he
projected some incredulousness about cer-
tain aspects of the game, he seemed at peace
with the outcome.
It appears Walsh has come to terms with
the fact that this is high school football and
no matter how much one coaches up a team,
ultimately it comes down to kids to execute
the plan. Sometimes they do, sometimes they
dont, and Walsh appears to have accepted
that.
But that doesnt mean he wont go right
back to work to start building toward the
2013 season. Because in the end, he really
does want to win. It is just no longer a mat-
ter of life and death.

LOUNGE
The Gators provided at least four of these
OMG kind of hits Burr-Given had the
biggest. But, Daniel Thaure at safety and Paul
Westcott (and his nine tackles plus a sack) got
their licks in as well.
We knew coming in that the defense would
have to set the tone, Thaure said after the
game. We usually do a pretty good job of it.
I think right off the bat they werent ready for
how hard we were hitting how tough we
were. Although were small, we y to the ball
and were a real quick team.
As the Gators prep for a Central Coast
Section championship clash with their across-
the-street rival Menlo School, they can take
solace on a Honor Roll-type performances by
a number of players.
In the passing attack, Kevin Donahoe and
Rex Shannon looked like Joe Montana and
Jerry Rice reincarnate. The tandem hooked up
for rst-half touchdowns passes of 80, 20 and
22 yards. Shannon caught another pass in the
rst half and made a move near the SHP side-
line that kind of made you feel sorry for the
Soquel defender after No. 17 juked him out of
his shoes.
On the ground, hats off to the rushing back-
eld of Andrew Segre and all four of his
touchdowns plus Ryan Gaertners 122 yards.
OTHER CCS ACTION
Speaking of the Gators, their opponent next
week in the CCS Division IV championship is
a familiar foe, the Menlo Knights, who are
fresh off the upset of No. 1 Seaside.
And, as its been the case the entire season,
pulling the strings for Menlo was quarterback
Jack Heneghan. All reports coming from the
win against Seaside indicate that the then-
undefeated Bulldogs had no answer for No. 12
and the Menlo passing attack. Heneghan
carved the Seaside defense to the tune of 240
yards on 22 of 37 passing including four
touchdowns.
The 11th version of the Valparaiso Bowl,
arguably the biggest edition of the annual
rivalry, will be played at Terra Nova High
School 7 p.m. Saturday.
The season is over for another trio of coun-
ty football teams. Serra High School played in
another battle with Bellarmine Prep and lost
17-12. But the Padres defense was superb.
They held a Bells team averaging 30 points
per game to those 17 and just 143 yards of
total offense. Eric Redwoods season and
career as a Padre ended with a broken collar-
bone, but not before he rushed for 125 yards
on 22 carries and a touchdown. He also caught
a pass for 34 yards. Redwood goes into Serra
immortality as the schools all-time leader
rusher. He also holds the record for most rush-
ing yards in a single game a mark he set at
289 a week ago.
Sequoias Mike Taylor had a Player of the
Year kind of season at quarterback. No. 1
Milpitas proved to be too much for the
Cherokees last Friday, but No. 8 ran the ball
13 times for 125 times and scored two touch-
downs. Taylor nishes his career in the purple
with a 2012 that saw him run for 1,237 yards
and 22 touchdowns to go along with over 900
yards passing.
NORCAL VOLLEYBALL
Theres this little volleyball match going on
Tuesday night at Sacred Heart Prep. Nothing
special, really. Its just the Gators ghting for
the Northern California Division IV champi-
onship against No. 3 Harbor.
The rst serve in the biggest volleyball
match this season for the entire county is set
for 7 p.m.
The Gators reserved a spot in the match
with a four-set win over Bear River in the

blocks. Victoria Garrick had 11 kills and 14
digs. Helen Gannon led the defensive charge
with 16 digs.
Cammie Merten had 55 assists.
Sacred Heart Prep wont be the lone county

though.
Woodside Priory defeated St. Joseph Notre

CHICAGO They may be a big
hit at kids birthday parties, but
inflatable bounce houses can be
dangerous, with the number of
injuries soaring in recent years, a
nationwide study found.
Kids often crowd into bounce
houses, and jumping up and down
can send other children ying into
the air, too.
The numbers suggest 30 U.S.
children a day are treated in emer-
gency rooms for broken bones,
sprains, cuts and concussions from
bounce house accidents. Most
involve children falling inside or out
of the inated playthings, and many
children get hurt when they collide
with other bouncing kids.
The number of children aged 17
and younger who got emergency-
room treatment for bounce house
injuries has climbed along with the
popularity of bounce houses
from fewer than 1,000 in 1995 to
nearly 11,000 in 2010. Thats a 15-
fold increase, and a doubling just
since 2008.
I was surprised by the number,
especially by the rapid increase in
the number of injuries, said lead
author Dr. Gary Smith, director of
the Center for Injury Research and
Policy at Nationwide Childrens
Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
Amusement parks and fairs have
bounce houses, and the playthings
can also be rented or purchased for
home use.
Smith and colleagues analyzed
national surveillance data on ER
treatment for nonfatal injuries
linked with bounce houses, main-
tained by the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission. Their
study was published online Monday
in the journal Pediatrics.
Only about 3 percent of children
were hospitalized, mostly for bro-
ken bones.
More than one-third of the
injuries were in children aged 5 and
younger. The safety commission
recommends against letting chil-
dren younger than 6 use full-size
trampolines, and Smith said barring
kids that young from even smaller,
home-use bounce houses would
make sense.
There is no evidence that the size
or location of an inatable bouncer
affects the injury risk, he said.
Other recommendations, often
listed in manufacturers instruction
pamphlets, include not overloading
bounce houses with too many kids
and not allowing young children to
bounce with much older, heavier
kids or adults, said Laura
Woodburn, a spokeswoman for the
National Association of Amusement
Ride Safety Ofcials.
The study didnt include deaths,
but some accidents are fatal.
Separate data from the product safe-
ty commission show four bounce
house deaths from 2003 to 2007, all
involving children striking their
heads on a hard surface.
Several nonfatal accidents
occurred last year when bounce
houses collapsed or were lifted by
high winds.
A group that issues voluntary
industry standards says bounce
houses should be supervised by
trained operators and recommends
that bouncers be prohibited from
doing ips and purposefully collid-
ing with others, the study authors
noted.
Bounce house injuries are similar
to those linked with trampolines,
and the American Academy of
Pediatrics has recommended
against using trampolines at home.
Policymakers should consider
whether bounce houses warrant
similar precautions, the authors
said.
Bounce houses a party hit but kids injuries soar
The number of children aged 17 and younger who got emergency-room treatment for bounce house injuries
has climbed along with the popularity of bounce houses.

Mammograms have done surpris-
ingly little to catch deadly breast can-
cers before they spread, a big U.S.
study nds. At the same time, more
than a million women have been
treated for cancers that never would
have threatened their lives,
researchers estimate.
Up to one-third of breast cancers,
or 50,000 to 70,000 cases a year,
dont need treatment, the study sug-
gests.
Its the most detailed look yet at
overtreatment of breast cancer, and it
adds fresh evidence that screening is
not as helpful as many women
believe. Mammograms are still
worthwhile, because they do catch
some deadly cancers and save lives,
doctors stress. And some of them dis-
agree with conclusions the new study
reached.
But it spotlights a reality that is
tough for many Americans to accept:
Some abnormalities that doctors call
cancer are not a health threat or
truly malignant. There is no good
way to tell which ones are, so many
women wind up getting treatments
like surgery and chemotherapy that
they dont really need.
Men have heard a similar message
about PSA tests to screen for slow-
growing prostate cancer, but its rela-
tively new to the debate over breast
cancer screening.
Were coming to learn that some
cancers many cancers, depending
on the organ werent destined to
cause death, said Dr. Barnett
Kramer, a National Cancer Institute
screening expert. However, once a
woman is diagnosed, its hard to say
treatment is not necessary.
He had no role in the study, which
was led by Dr. H. Gilbert Welch of
Dartmouth Medical School and Dr.
Archie Bleyer of St. Charles Health
System and Oregon Health &
Science University. Results are in
Thursdays New England Journal of
Medicine.
Breast cancer is the leading type of
cancer and cause of cancer deaths in
women worldwide. Nearly 1.4 mil-
lion new cases are diagnosed each
year. Other countries screen less
aggressively than the U.S. does. In
Britain, for example, mammograms
are usually offered only every three
years and a recent review
there found similar signs
of overtreatment.
The dogma has been
that screening nds can-
cer early, when its most
curable. But screening is
only worthwhile if it
nds cancers destined to
cause death, and if treat-
ing them early improves
survival versus treating
when or if they cause
symptoms.
Mammograms also are
an imperfect screening
tool they often give
false alarms, spurring biopsies and
other tests that ultimately show no
cancer was present. The new study
looks at a different risk:
Overdiagnosis, or nding cancer that
is present but does not need treat-
ment.
Researchers used federal surveys
on mammography and cancer reg-
istry statistics from 1976 through
2008 to track how many cancers were
found early, while still conned to the
breast, versus later, when they had
spread to lymph nodes or more wide-
ly.
The scientists assumed that the
actual amount of disease how
many true cases exist did not
change or grew only a little during
those three decades. Yet they found a
big difference in the number and
stage of cases discovered over time,
as mammograms came into wide use.
Study finds mammograms lead to unneeded treatment
Other countries screen less aggressively than the U.S. does. In Britain, for
example, mammograms are usually offered only every three years and a
recent review there found similar signs of overtreatment.

BERLIN German pastor Gabriele Stangl
says she will never forget the harrowing con-
fession she heard in 1999. A woman said she
had been brutally raped, got pregnant and had
a baby. Then she killed it and buried it in the
woods near Berlin.
Stangl wanted to do something to help
women in such desperate situations. So the
following year, she convinced Berlins
Waldfriede Hospital to create the citys rst
so-called baby box. The box is actually a
warm incubator that can be opened from an
outside wall of a hospital where a desperate
parent can anonymously leave an unwanted
infant.
A small ap opens into the box, equipped
with a motion detector. An alarm goes off in
the hospital to alert staff two minutes after a
baby is left.
The mother has enough time to leave with-
out anyone seeing her, Stangl said. The
important thing is that her baby is now in a
safe place.
Baby boxes are a revival of the medieval
foundling wheels, where unwanted infants
were left in revolving church doors. In recent
years, there has been an increase in these con-
traptions also called hatches, windows or
slots in some countries and at least 11
European nations now have them, according
to United Nations gures. They are technical-
ly illegal, but mostly operate in a gray zone as
authorities turn a blind eye.
But they have drawn the attention of human
rights advocates who think they are bad for
the children and merely avoid dealing with
the problems that lead to child abandonment.
At a meeting last month, the United Nations
Committee on the Rights of the Child said
baby boxes should be banned and is pushing
that agenda to the European Parliament.
There are nearly 100 baby boxes in
Germany. Poland and the Czech Republic
each have more than 40 while Italy, Lithuania,
Russia and Slovakia have about 10 each.
There are two in Switzerland, one in Belgium
and one being planned in the Netherlands.
In the last decade, hundreds of babies have
been abandoned this way; its estimated one
or two infants are typically left at each loca-
tion every year, though exact gures arent
available.
They are a bad message for society, said
Maria Herczog, a Hungarian child psycholo-
gist on the U.N. committee. These boxes
violate childrens rights and also the rights of
parents to get help from the state to raise their
families, she said.
Instead of providing help and addressing
some of the social problems and poverty
behind these situations, were telling people
they can just leave their baby and run away.
She said the practice encourages women to
have children without getting medical care.
Its paradoxical that its OK for women to
give up their babies by putting them in a box,
but if they were to have them in a hospital and
walk away, thats a crime, Herczog said. She
said the committee is now discussing the issue
with the European Parliament and is also ask-
ing countries which allow the practice to shut
them down.
Herczog also said its wrong to assume only
mothers are abandoning these children and
that sometimes they may be forced into giving
up children they might otherwise have kept.
We have data to show that in some cases its
pimps, a male relative or someone whos
exploiting the woman, she said.
In some countries Australia, Canada and
Britain it is illegal to abandon an infant
anywhere. Yet, in the U.S. there are safe
haven laws that allow parents to anonymous-
ly give up an infant in a secure place like a
hospital or police department. A handful of
other countries including Japan and Slovakia
have similar provisions.
Countries that support this anonymous
abandonment method contend they save lives.
In a letter responding to U.N. concerns, more
than two dozen Czech politicians said they
strongly disagreed with the proposed ban.
The primary aim of baby hatches, which
(have) already saved hundreds of newborns, is
to protect their right to life and protect their
human rights, the letter said.
However, limited academic surveys suggest
this hasnt reduced the murder of infants.
There are about 30 to 60 infanticides in
Germany every year, a number that has been
relatively unchanged for years, even after the
arrival of baby boxes. Thats similar to the per
capita rate in Britain where there is no such
option.
Across Germany, there is considerable pub-
lic support for the boxes, particularly after
several high-profile cases of infanticide,
including the grisly discovery several years
ago of the decomposed remains of nine
infants stuffed into flower pots in
Brandenburg.
Officials at several facilities with baby
boxes say biological parents sometimes name
the infant being abandoned. The girl is called
Sarah, read one note left with a baby in
Lubeck, Germany in 2003. I have many
problems and a life with Sarah is just not pos-
sible, the letter said.
The secretive nature also means few restric-
tions on who gets dropped off, even though
the boxes are intended for newborns.
Friederike Garbe, who oversees a baby box in
Lubeck, found two young boys crying there
last November. One was about four months
old and his brother was already sitting up,
she said. The older boy was about 15 months
old and could say Mama.
Still, Germanys health ministry is consid-
ering other options. We want to replace the
necessity for the baby boxes by implementing
a rule to allow women to give birth anony-
mously that will allow them to give up the
child for adoption, said Christopher
Steegmans, a ministry spokesman.
Austria, France, and Italy allow women to
give birth anonymously and leave the baby in
the hospital to be adopted. Germany and
Britain sometimes allow this under certain
circumstances even though it is technically
illegal. Eleven other nations grant women a
concealed delivery that hides their identities
when they give birth to their babies, who are
then given up for adoption. But the women
are supposed to leave their name and contact
information for ofcial records that may be
given one day to the children if they request it
after age 18.
Europe mulls banning boxes for abandoned babies
The baby box is a warm incubator that can be opened from an outside wall of a hospital
where a desperate parent can anonymously leave an unwanted infant.

CAIRO Egypts President
Mohammed Morsi struck an uncom-
promising stand Monday over his
seizure of near absolute powers,
refusing in a meeting with top judi-
cial authorities to rescind a package
of constitutional amendments that
placed his edicts above oversight by
the courts.
Morsis supporters, meanwhile,
canceled a massive rally planned for
Tuesday to compete with a demon-
stration by his opponents, citing the
need to defuse tension at a time
when anger over the presidents
moves is mounting, according to a
spokesman for the presidents
Muslim Brotherhood.
The opposition rally was going
ahead as scheduled at Cairos Tahrir
square, birthplace of the uprising
that toppled Hosni Mubaraks
regime nearly two years ago.
The meeting between Morsi and
members of the Supreme Judiciary
Council was a bid to resolve a four-
day crisis that has plunged the coun-
try into a new round of turmoil, with
clashes between the two sides that
have left one protester dead and hun-
dreds wounded.
Morsi, according to a presidential
statement, told the judges that while
the constitutional declaration he
announced Thursday grants him
immunity from any oversight, he
intended to restrict that to what it
described as sovereignty issues.
The vaguely worded statement did
not dene those issues, but they
were widely interpreted to cover
declaration of war, imposition of
martial law, breaking diplomatic
relations with a foreign nation or
dismissing a Cabinet.
The statement did not touch on the
protection from oversight Morsi has
extended to two bodies dominated
by his
Br o t h e r h o o d
and other
Islamists: The
1 0 0 - me mb e r
panel tasked
with drafting a
new constitution
and parliaments
mostly toothless
lower chamber,
or the Shura
council.
The Shura Council does not have
lawmaking authorities but, in the
absence of the more powerful lower
chamber, the Peoples Assembly, it
is the only popularly elected body
where the Brotherhood and other
Islamists have a majority. The
Peoples Assembly was dissolved by
a court ruling in June.
The judiciary has pushed back,
calling the decrees a power grab and
an assault on the branchs inde-
pendence. Judges and prosecutors
stayed away from many courts in
Cairo and elsewhere on Sunday and
Monday.
A spokesman, Yasser Ali, said
Morsi told the judges that he acted
within his rights as the nations sole
source of legislation, assuring them
that the decrees were temporary and
did not in any way infringe on the
judiciary.
Two prominent rights lawyers
Gamal Eid and Ahmed Ragheb
dismissed Alis remarks.
Eid said they were designed to
keep Morsi above the law, while
Ragheb said they amounted to
playing with words.
This is not what Egyptians are
objecting to and protesting about,
Ragheb said. If the president want-
ed to resolve the crisis, there should
be an amendment to his constitu-
tional declaration.
In Washington, U.S. Secretary of
State Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke
Monday by telephone with Egyptian
Foreign Minister Mohammed
Kamel Amr to register American
concerns about Egypts political sit-
uation, according to spokeswoman
Victoria Nuland.
Clinton stressed that the U.S.
wanted to see the constitutional
process move forward in a way that
does not overly concentrate power in
one set of hands, that ensures that
rule of law, checks and balances,
protection of the rights of all groups
in Egypt are upheld, Nuland said.
Morsis aides have repeatedly
emphasized that the president has no
intention of amending his decrees,
meaning the near absolute powers
they give him will stand. Morsi also
issued a law to protect the revolu-
tion that rights activists maintain is
effectively a declaration of emer-
gency laws designed to combat
poorly dened threats to the nation
or to public order.
Opposition activists have
denounced Morsis decrees as a bla-
tant power grab, and refused to enter
a dialogue with the president before
the edicts are rescinded.
Morsi says he wants to retain the
new powers until the new constitu-
tion is adopted in a nationwide ref-
erendum and parliamentary elec-
tions are held, a time line that
stretches to the middle of next year.
Many members of the judiciary
were appointed under Mubarak,
drawing allegations, even by some
of Morsis critics, that they are try-
ing to perpetuate the regimes cor-
rupt practices. But opponents are
angry that the decrees leave Morsi
without any check on his power.
Morsi, who became Egypts rst
freely elected president in June, was
quoted by Ali as telling his prime
minister and security chiefs earlier
Monday that his decrees were
designed to end the transitional
period as soon as possible.

JERUSALEM Israel and
Palestinian militants from the Gaza
Strip began indirect talks Monday in
Egypt aimed at forging a new era of
relations between the bitter enemies
following a cease-re that ended the
heaviest ghting in nearly four years.
The talks, being mediated by
Egypt, were the rst negotiations
since the cease-re took effect last
Wednesday, halting eight days of
airstrikes targeting militant groups in
the Palestinian territory and rocket
attacks that reached deep into Israel.
Israel launched some 1,500
airstrikes in a bid to end rocket
attacks out of Gaza, while the Hamas
and the Islamic Jihad militant groups
red a similar number of rockets at
Israeli cities. More than 160
Palestinians, including dozens of
civilians were killed. Palestinian
attacks killed Six Israelis, including
four civilians and two soldiers.
Now that ghting has subsided,
Egypt is working with the sides on
carrying out the second phase of the
agreement: negotiating new border
arrangements for the impoverished
coastal strip.
The negotiations will not be sim-
ple. The militants want Israel to lift
what remains of its blockade of
Gaza, imposed ve years ago after
Hamas seized control of the territory
from its Western-backed rival
Palestinian President Mahmoud
Abbas. While Israel has eased the
blockade in recent years, key
restrictions remain in place on
exports out of Gaza and the entry of
badly needed building materials
into the territory.
The Palestinians are hopeful that
Egypts new Islamist government
will ease its own restrictions on
movement in and out of the territo-
ry. Egypt still limits foot trafc
through the Rafah border crossing.
The militants also hope to turn the
Rafah terminal into a major cargo
crossing.
In return, Israel wants an end to
arms smuggling into Gaza. Iranian-
made weapons have made their way
into Gaza through a circuitous route
that ends with underground tunnels
along the Egyptian border.
An Israeli ofcial, speaking on
condition of anonymity because he
was not authorized to discuss the
negotiations with the media, said
Israel is prepared to take steps to
help Gazas civilians but would be
wary of doing anything that could
strengthen Hamas. In particular, he
said the issue of arms smuggling
would be high on the agenda.
Our assessment is that suc-
cessfully preventing the rearma-
ment of Hamas and other groups
is an integral element of main-
taining long-term peace and
quiet, the official said.
Yasser Othman, Egypts top
diplomat in the West Bank, con-
rmed the talks had begun.
Ghazi Hamad, a Hamas ofcial in
Gaza, said the groups economics
minister, Ziad al-Zaza, was leading
the Palestinian delegation. He gave
no further details, and it was unclear
whether any timeline was imposed
for implementing the deal.
But militant leaders already have
said they will not give up the vast
arsenals they have accumulated. In
the recent fighting, Hamas and
Islamic Jihad unveiled new rockets
capable of striking deep into the
Israeli heartland, in addition to anti-
tank and anti-aircraft weapons.

waived a preliminary hearing last week
and was held to answer on all charges.
He returns to court Dec. 5 to enter a
Superior Court plea and possibly set a
trial date. Meanwhile, he remains in cus-
tody on $50,000 bail.
Hedderman, according to the State
Bar of California, stipulated to miscon-
duct in four cases including failure to
perform competently, refund unearned
fees and communicate with clients and
pay court-ordered sanctions or cooperate
with the bars investigation.
While working in Orange County
between June 2004 and August 2005,
Hedderman was accused of falsely
claiming to be an attorney of clients
whom he generally met through person-
al referrals for divorces and chid custody
cases. He was also accused of forging
the signatures of clients and Welch, his
employer, on legal documents.
If convicted in the new case on sever-
al counts of practicing law without a
license, grand theft, false impersonation
and threats, Hedderman faces between
seven and eight years incarceration
although the time would be served local-
ly, said District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
Although Bisceglia was reportedly
fooled by Welch, Wagstaffe said his no
contest plea and 90-day sentence should
stand because he entered it under the
guidance of a different legitimate attor-
ney.
Wagstaffe said his ofce does not
believe Welch has any more cases in San
Mateo County but would like to hear
from anyone who may have been a client
and victim.
He seems to be very good at it,
Wagstaffe said.
Defense attorney Ed Pomeroy did not
return a call for comment.

Two and a Half Men
actor calls his show filth
NEW YORK The teenage actor
who plays the half in the hit CBS come-
dy Two and a Half Men says in a video
posted online by a Christian church that
the show is lth and that viewers
shouldnt watch it.
Nineteen-year-old Angus T. Jones has
been on the show, which used to feature
bad-boy actor Charlie Sheen and
remains heavy with sexual innuendo,
since he was 10 but says he doesnt want
to be on it anymore.
Please stop watching it, Jones said.
Please stop lling your head with lth.
Jones plays Jake, the son of Jon
Cryers uptight divorced chiropractor
character, Alan, and the nephew of
Sheens hedonistic philandering music
jingle writer character, Charlie. Sheen,
who has publicly criticized CBS, was
red and replaced by Ashton Kutcher,
who plays billionaire
Walden.
In the video posted
by the Forerunner
Christian Church in
Fremont, Calif.,
Jones describes a
search for a spiritual
home. He says the
type of entertain-
ment hes involved
in adversely affects the brain and
theres no playing around when it
comes to eternity.

The Matrix report recommends elimi-
nating the departments administrative
assistant position since that employee
has been on leave for some time. In the
report, the position is described as a
luxury.
The city already outsources its police
department to the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Ofce and administrative serv-
ices for its Parks and Recreation
Department to San Carlos.
Earlier this year, Steve Flint resigned
from his post as director of the Planning
Department and the city did not ll the
position permanently but chose instead
to contract it out.
The Matrix report suggests another
nearby city could provide planning serv-
ices for Half Moon Bay and save the city
substantial revenue. The Planning
Departments budget for fiscal year
2012-13 is $829,255.
The 86-page report also recommends
the city update its general plan, portions
of which are outdated.
The City Council meets jointly with
the Planning Commission at 5 p.m.,
tonight, Adcock Community Center, 535
Kelly Ave., Half Moon Bay.

This is certainly the biggest storm of
the season so far, Anderson said.
Typically, we get our big rain events in
December and January.
The rainfall will be most intense in the
North Bay, where 2 to 3 inches of rain is
expected in low lands and as many at 8
inches in the hills, Anderson said.
Its mostly going to be a North Bay
event, the heaviest rainfall, Anderson
said.
Smaller creeks in the North Bay are like-
ly to ll to bank level, although the larger
Russian and Napa rivers dont seem to be
getting too out of hand, he said.
Streets throughout the Bay Area will
be soaked, and fallen leaves from trees
are expected to clog storm drains, so
some roads and intersections will see
some flooding and the usual traffic
delays, Anderson said.
Bay Area residents should also get
ready for possible downed trees and
power outages.
If you have an alarm clock thats
electric, make sure you have a backup,
Anderson said.
Fifteen- to 18-foot waves are expected
along the coast during the stormy weath-
er, he said.
STORM
year has been nding locations at which
students can spend time collecting dona-
tions. Despite having fewer locations,
students are still collecting donations
both after school and on weekends at a
handful of locations throughout the
Peninsula.
In 2005, the organized food drive col-
lected 372,000 pounds of food for
Samaritan House and Second Harvest
Food Bank and set a new Guinness
World Record. As the economy took a
dip, so did donations, Pantuso said.
Despite this, the teens are optimistic that
the community can meet the goal.
Community members who wish to
donate can bring canned food or mone-
tary donations to San Mateo High
School, 506 N. Delaware St., San Mateo,
from 7:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. Monetary
donations are tax-deductible and checks
should be made out to Samaritan
House. Donations can also be made
online at www.smhscfd.com. For more

People in the news
Angus T. Jones
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2012
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Because you
continue to be in a rather promising cycle in terms
of personal gain and success, your probabilities for
adding to your resources are exceptionally good.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Youre likely to do
far better tweaking some of your own ideas than
employing the schemes of others, which you would
have to completely transform to render workable.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you can, try to stay
in control of things, but do so without calling any
attention to your actions. Youll function astoundingly
well being the power behind the throne.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A few friends who
havent been too cooperative or friendly lately could
undergo a complete turnaround, unbeknownst to one
another.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- This could be a day
of some outstanding achievements if you would
simply follow the original course you set for yourself.
Unfortunately, theres a high possibility that youll get
sidetracked.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone in the past
has given you some extremely valuable information
that went right over your head. Today, for the frst
time, you might fnally begin to appreciate its worth.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A joint endeavor in
which youre involved can be far more successful
than you may realize if youre smart enough to follow
it through to its conclusion. Once committed, stay
with it.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you honestly believe
your work performance is superior, this is a good day
to talk to the powers that be about the possibility of
getting some kind of compensation. Be assertive but
truthful, and you cant fail.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Youre resourceful and prac-
tical, arousing much enthusiasm in your co-workers.
Its a winning combination that others cant help but
want to follow.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Do not underestimate
the many qualities that you have to offer. This is an
excellent day to take a gamble on your talents and
abilities, so dont hesitate to do so.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It could be more impor-
tant than usual for both you and your mate to be in
accord on a critical issue. When harmony is allowed
to prevail, successful results become more likely.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Theres a good chance
that circumstances could cause you to revise some
of your methods and/or procedures. It might take a
bit of courage on your part to do so.

TENTIAL BIDDERS If you are consider-
ing bidding on this property lien, you
should understand that there are risks in-
volved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on a
property itself. Placing the highest bid at
a trustee auction does not automatically
entitle you to free and clear ownership of
the property. You should also be aware
that the lien being auctioned off may be a
junior lien. If you are the highest bidder
at the auction, you are or may be respon-
sible for paying off all liens senior to the
lien being auctioned off, before you can
receive clear title to the property. You
are encouraged to investigate the exis-
tence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder's office or
a title insurance company, either of
which may charge you a fee for this infor-
mation. If you consult either of these re-
sources, you should be aware that the
lender may hold more than one mort-
gage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The
sale date shown on this notice of sale
may be postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires
that information about trustee sale post-
ponements be made available to you and
to the public, as a courtesy to those not
present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been post-
poned, and, if applicable, the resched-
uled time and date for the sale of this
property, you may call 1-800-281-8219
or visit this Internet Web site www.recon-
trustco.com, using the file number as-
signed to this case 12-0070696. Infor-
mation about postponements that are
very short in duration or that occur close
in time to the scheduled sale may not im-

WORLD 31
By Michael Casey
DOHA, Qatar Anticipating an onslaught
of criticism from poor nations, the United
States claimed enormous strides in reducing
greenhouse emissions at the opening of U.N.
climate talks Monday, despite failing to join
other industrialized nations in committing to
binding cuts.
The pre-emptive U.S. approach underscores
one of the major showdowns expected at the
two-week conference as China pushes devel-
oped countries to take an even greater role in
tackling global warming.
Speaking for a coalition of developed nations
known as the G77, Chinas delegate, Su Wei,
said rich nations should become party to an
extended Kyoto Protocol an emissions deal
for some industrialized countries that the
Americans long ago rejected or at least
make comparable mitigation commitments.
The United States rejected Kyoto because it
didnt impose any binding commitments on
major developing countries such as India and
China, which is now the worlds No. 1 carbon
emitter.
American delegate Jonathan Pershing offered
no new sweeteners to the poor countries, only
reiterating what the United States has done to
tackle global warming: investing heavily in
clean energy, doubling fuel efciency standards
and reducing emissions from coal-red power
plants. Pershing also said the United States
would not increase its earlier commitment of
cutting emissions by 17 percent below 2005
levels by 2020. It is half way to that target.
I would suggest those who dont follow
what the U.S. is doing may not be informed of
the scale and extent of the effort, but its enor-
mous, Pershing said.
It doesnt mean enough is being done. Its
clear the global community, and that includes
us, has to do more if we are going to succeed at
avoiding the damages projected in a warming
world, Pershing added. It is not to say we
havent acted. We have and we have acted with
enormous urgency and singular purpose.
U.K. picks Canadian
to lead Bank of England
LONDON The British government has
chosen Mark Carney, a Canadian, to become
governor of the Bank of England, the rst time
a foreigner has been tapped for the position
since the central bank was founded in 1694.
Treasury chief George Osborne announced
the surprise choice to the House of Commons
on Monday, saying Carney who is current-
ly the head of Canadas central bank would
apply for British citizenship.
Mark Carney is the outstanding candidate
to be governor of the Bank of England and
help steer Britain through these difcult eco-
nomic times, Osborne said. He is quite sim-
ply the best, most experienced and most qual-
ied person in the world to do the job.

JERUSALEM Israeli Defense Minister
Ehud Barak abruptly quit politics Monday,
potentially robbing Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu of a key ally who enabled his
hard-line government to present a moderate
face to the world.
Netanyahus party picked a young, more
hawkish list of candidates in its primary elec-
tion on Monday.
Barring another comeback by the mercurial
former general, Baraks departure marked an
end to a distinguished and tumultuous career
that spanned half a century. It began on a
communal farm, led to military greatness and
business success and a mixed record in poli-
tics that was highlighted by failed peacemak-
ing efforts during a brief term as prime minis-
ter.
Despite polls showing his small centrist
Independence Party gaining momentum fol-
lowing the eight-day Israeli offensive in Gaza
that he steered, Barak said he would not run
again for ofce in the Jan. 22 elections.
I feel I have exhausted my political activi-
ty, which had never been a special object of
desire for me, Barak, 70, said in a surprise
announcement in Tel Aviv. There are many
ways for me to serve the
country and society, not
just through politics.
Barak will remain as
defense minister until a
new government is sworn
in after the elections.
Still, analysts predicted
that Israels most promi-
nent warrior-statesman of
his generation had yet to
say the last word and was
perhaps still angling to keep his job after the
election as a special appointment of
Netanyahu, who is expected to be re-elected.
In recent polls, Baraks party had been strug-
gling to nudge above the electoral threshold
needed to get into parliament.
In his position, he did the smartest thing
one could do, said Shlomo Avineri, a politi-
cal science professor at Jerusalems Hebrew
University. Hes not as popular as an elec-
toral candidate as he is a minister of defense.
Hes not going to say no if hes asked to be
the next minister of defense. And he probably
will.
Over the past four years, Barak gave
Netanyahus governing coalition a well-
known face to deal with the international
community and Netanyahu himself a loyal
and seasoned partner.

BRUSSELS A European Union ofcial
tells the Associated Press that a deal has been
reached under which Greeces debt would be
reduced to 124 percent of GDP by 2020.
The original goal had been 120 percent of
GDP.
The agreement would pave the way for
indebted Greece to receive the next install-
ment of its much-needed bailout loans.
Mario Draghi, President of the European
Central Bank, welcomed the agreement.
It will certainly reduce the uncertainty and
strengthen confidence in Europe and in
Greece, Draghi said.
