Former county supervisor Mike
Nevin, a longtime local leader who
most recently served as executive
director of the countys service
league, died of cancer Dec. 1 at the
age of 69.
Nevin is survived by his wife,
Kathleen, and children Mike Jr.,
Michelle and Tim.
This is a very sad day for all of
us in Daly City and the county. My
heart is heavy.
He was a great
visionary and
wonderful men-
tor to me. My
thoughts are
with his fami-
ly, said
A d r i e n n e
Tissier, presi-
dent of the San
Mateo County Board of
Supervisors, who filled Nevins
vacated position.
Nevin spent 27 years with the San
Francisco Police Department, rising
to the rank of inspector, before
jumping into politics as a Daly City
planning commissioner from 1979
to 1982 followed by the Daly City
Council in 1982. During his 1984
turn as Daly City mayor, he intro-
duced an economic development
program and saw the city recog-
nized as outstanding by the U.S.
Conference of Mayors.
Nevin followed the council with
election to the county Board of
Supervisors in 1992 and served as
president in 1997 and 2001. While
serving, he advocated for better
transportation, took on the banking
industry over its privacy policies,
pushed for a ban of gun shows,
championed medicinal marijuana
trials, health care coverage and
looked for creative solutions to
community problems.
Mike was a true old school
Democratic politician. He believed
in and supported organized labor
but most important he was a cham-
pion of people in need. He was a
true Irish American, Catholic
Democratic politician in the best
sense of the word. He was a cham-
pion of social justice, said
Supervisor Don Horsley who served
as sheriff during Nevins tenure on
the board.
Horsley recalled Nevin ghting to
locate a home for developmentally
disabled adults in the north end of
the county and a similar battle to

With plans to follow San Mateo
County in banning single-use bags,
the city of San Carlos is asking its
residents and businesses for some
nal input on the possible prohibi-
tion to coincide with Earth Day.
The city on Thursday is holding a
community meeting on a possible
bag ordinance to hear how it may
affect their business or their patron-
age. The city is currently mulling
the idea of adopting a ban in January
with an effective date of April 22.
San Mateo County adopted its ban
earlier this year and several
Peninsula cities, which had been
holding out for a template model,
are now following suit.
The county ordinance, which also
begins in April and which the city
ban echoes, allows patrons without
reusable bags to request a single-use
paper version from retailers for the
price of rst a dime and, after Jan. 1,
2015, a quarter. Retailers can volun-
tarily choose to give free bags to
food stamp and WIC participants.

Letterman, Hoffman,

WASHINGTON David
Lettermans stupid human tricks and
Top 10 lists vaulted into the ranks of cul-
tural acclaim Sunday night as the late-
night comedian received this years
Kennedy Center Honors with rock band
Led Zeppelin, an actor, a ballerina and a
bluesman.
Stars from New York, Hollywood and
the music world joined President Barack
Obama at the White House on Sunday
night to salute the honorees, whose ranks
also include actor Dustin Hoffman,
Chicago bluesman Buddy Guy and balle-
rina Natalia Makarova.
The honors are the nations highest
award for those who influenced
American culture through the arts. The
recipients were later saluted by fellow
performers at the Kennedy Center Opera
House in a show to be broadcast Dec. 26
on CBS.
Obama drew laughs from his guests
when he described the honorees as
some extraordinary people who have no
business being on the same stage togeth-
er.
Noting that Guy made his rst guitar
strings using the wire from a window
screen, he quipped, That worked until
his parents started wondering how all the
mosquitoes were getting in.
The president thanked the members of
Led Zeppelin for behaving themselves at
the White House
given their history of
hotel rooms trashed
and mayhem all
around.
Obama noted
Lettermans humble
beginnings as an
Indianapolis weath-
erman who once
reported the city was
being pelted by hail
the size of canned hams.
Its one of the highlights of his
career, he said.
All kidding aside, Obama described all
of the honorees as artists who inspired
us to see things in a new way, to hear
things differently, to discover something
within us or to appreciate how much
beauty there is in the world.
Its that unique power that makes the
arts so important, he added.
Later on the red carpet, Letterman said
he was thrilled by the recognition and to
visit Obama at the White House.bz
It supersedes everything, honestly,
he said. I havent won that many
awards.
During the show, comedian Tina Fey
said she grew up watching her mom
laugh at Letterman as he brought on an
endless parade of weirdos.
Who was this Dave Letterman guy?
Fey said. Was he a brilliant, subtle pas-
sive-aggressive parody of a talk show
host? Or just some Midwestern goon
who was a little bit off? Time has proven
that theres just really no way of know-
ing.
Alec Baldwin offered a Top 10 reasons
Letterman was winning the award,
including the fact that he didnt leave late
night for a six-month stint in primetime
a not-so-subtle dig at rival Jay Leno.
Jimmy Kimmel, who will soon com-
pete head-to-head with Letterman on
ABC, said he fell in love with Letterman
early in life and even had a Late Night
cake on his 16th birthday.
To me it wasnt just a TV show,
Kimmel said. It was the reason I would
fail to make love to a live woman for
many, many years.
For Buddy Guy, singers Bonnie Raitt,
Tracy Chapman and others got most of
the crowd on its feet singing Guys sig-
nature Sweet Home Chicago.
Morgan Freeman hailed Guy as a pio-
neer who helped bridge soul and rock
and roll.
When you hear the blues, you really
dont think of it as black or white or yel-
low or purple or blue, Freeman said.
Buddy Guy, your blue brought us
together.
Robert De Niro saluted Hoffman, say-
ing he had changed acting, never took
any shortcuts and was brave enough to be
a perfectionist.
Before Dustin burst on the scene, it
was pretty much OK for movie stars to
show up, read their lines and, if the direc-
tor insisted, act a little, De Niro said.
But then Dustin came along and he
just had to get everything right.

he Spanish had their joyous times.
Because there was very little money
in the communities, the Spanish and
Mexicans expressed themselves by wearing
beautifully adorned clothes. They displayed
them at dances fandangos at their hacien-
das of the rancheros. Social events like rodeos
were also a good opportunity to strut them-
selves. When the Americans, Chileans,
Europeans and other ethnic groups descended
on San Francisco they brought their ideas of
culture to the West. At rst, parades were a big
celebrating event in Yerba Buena Jacob
Leese (who married one of Vallejos daugh-
ters) celebrated with a two-day event held at
his home for the Fourth of July. Beyond that,
few social events for the community occurred.
When the miners were producing a lot of
gold, gambling and drinking was abundant.
But when the gold dust was thin, fewer fre-
quented the gambling dens. What could be the
rst formal entertainment occurred on June
22, 1849 at the school house on Portsmouth
Square. Stephen Massett, a native of New
York and composer of The Moon on the Lake
is Beaming, plus others, produced a concert
of vocal music. His lengthy program was
well received and he made $500 for the per-
formance. This opened the ood gates for
other performers to begin the tradition of cul-
ture in San Francisco. In 1850, a group rented
the second oor of a building and produced a
melodrama, The Wife and Shakespeares
Richard III. These events moved to a large
tent and continued to sell out to large crowds.
In April 1951, the towns rst theater was
built. On July 4, the Dramatic Museum on
California Street, just off Montgomery Street,
opened. A month later, the Jenny Lind opened
across from Portsmouth Square. It enjoyed
much success until it was destroyed by a re
in 1851. The rebuilt theater of brick and stone
was later sold to the city and became City
Hall. The circus became a common means of
entertainment. By the end of 1850, three cir-
cuses were drawing large crowds: one on
Kearny Street between Clay and Washington
streets, a second on Montgomery near
California streets, and a third on the western
side of Portsmouth Square.
It was music that satised most of the male
population that made up the frontier city of
San Francisco. It was to become known as a
very cultured city and traveling companies of
actors and singers made it a must stop for their
group. In May 1853, a famous dancer named
Lola Montez arrived in San Francisco and
shook up the musical community. Lola (born
Eliza Rosanna Gilbert February 1821-January
1861) had led a fabulous and public life, mar-
rying often and with very rich people. When

Dedicated to
Severe Disc
Conditions
Youve seen the ads and heard the
radio commercials about my Non-
Surgical Spinal Decompression
treatment. At Crossroads Health
Center, Ive created an entire facility
dedicated to patients with severe disc
conditions that have not responded
to traditional care. My revolutionary,
Crossroads Method, provides a very
high success rate to patients with
serious back, neck, leg and arm pain
even when all else has failed. This
FDA cleared; non-surgical treatment
allows us to rehabilitate your
herniated or degenerative disc(s)
by reversing internal pressure and
enabling your disc(s) to heal from the
inside out. We succeed where other
treatments have failed by removing
the pressure that is causing pain to
your disc(s) and nerves without

The Crossroads Method
This method which includes
computerized true disc
decompression is considered by
many doctors to be the most
advanced and successful non-
invasive treatment of serious back,
neck, leg or arm pain.
This procedure allows for a much
higher success rate by increasing
hydration of your discs, fexibility,
relaxation of muscles and ligaments
along with improving muscle and
core strength, balance and posture.
This results in a more effective and
lasting solution to your pain. There
are no side effects and no recovery
time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment
has proven to be effective even
when drugs, epidurals, traditional
chiropractic, physical therapy
and surgery have failed The
Crossroads Method has shown
dramatic results.
Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When
an MRI showed that I had two
degenerative discs, I went through a
series of lumbar epidural injections
without success. The only thing
that made the pain and spasms go
away was Spinal Decompression
treatments at Crossroads Health
Center. Four years later and I am
still pain-free!
Lisa K.
My severe low back and sciatica
pain have been reduced signifcantly
since receiving spinal decompression
therapy at Crossroads Health Center.
I am now able to walk, golf, and do
things that I havent been able to do in
years! I would also like to say thanks
to Dr. Ferrigno and the offce staff as
they went above and beyond to make
sure my back problem was resolved. I
couldnt be happier!!

Man arrested in South City after
alleged prostitution dispute
A Palo Alto man was arrested
Thursday night after allegedly punching
a prostitute and threatening her with a
knife in a South San Francisco hotel,
police said today.
The suspect, Mark Steinkamp, 55,
allegedly met with a woman at the
Travelodge hotel at 326 South Airport
Blvd. around 10 p.m. to engage in an
apparent act of prostitution, according to
police.
The two got into a disagreement over
payment of services rendered, and
Steinkamp allegedly brandished a knife
at the woman and refused to let her
leave, police said.
The victim defended herself by spray-
ing him with mace, and he allegedly
retaliated by punching her several times
before police arrived.
Steinkamp was arrested and booked
into San Mateo County Jail on suspicion
of false imprisonment, brandishing a
weapon and assault. He also had two
warrants for his arrest for an unrelated
case outside of San Mateo County.

Local briefs
By John S. Marshall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Residents of Northern
California endured the brunt of another powerful
storm that drenched the area with yet another round
of pounding rain and strong winds, but damage
from the storm was less than expected, ofcials
said.
The latest storm system the third to hit the
area in less than a week moved across the region
late Saturday and early Sunday dropping as much
as an inch of rain per hour in some areas, toppling
trees and knocking out electrical service to tens of
thousands of people, ofcials said.
Rivers across Northern California swelled from
the deluge, but did not ood as extensively as had
been expected, ofcials said.
Forecasters had issued ood warnings for the
Napa and Russian rivers, two rivers north of San
Francisco with a history of ooding, as well as the
Truckee River, near Lake Tahoe, but by Sunday
afternoon had canceled the warning for the Russian
River.
It (the storm) moved through a lit bit faster than
it was looking like it would, so it didnt plant on top
of us and keeping raining, said Austin Cross, a
meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
The period of heavy rain didnt last as long.
In Napa, where ofcials had handed out more
than 8,000 sandbags and about 150 tons of sand
before the storm hit, ofcials breathed a sigh of
relief Sunday afternoon after the heaviest rain
moved out of the area and the city appeared to
avoid any major damage from the storm.
Weve had some minor street ooding and some
of the intersections were flooded, Napa city
spokesman Barry Martin said.
Flood construction projects were credited with
keeping the river within its banks through the city,
while most of anticipated flooding, expected
around 6 p.m. Sunday, was expected to hit a most-
ly agricultural area outside of the city, ofcials

Besides the speed in which the system moved

by colder temperatures than expected in the moun-

SANTA ANA A criminal defense attorney has
been arrested in a sting operation on suspicion of
meeting an underage girl for sexual purposes.
The Orange County Sheriffs department said
Sunday that 36-year-old Arturo Fernando Shaw
Gutierrez was being held on $50,000 bail.
Gutierrez came under scrutiny after the parents
of an Orange County girl turned over online con-
versations between him and their daughter to
police.
Investigators posed as a young girl and contacted
Gutierrez on Facebook. They arranged a meeting at
the Seal Beach pier that led to his arrest on
Saturday.

LOS ANGELES California has more
Hispanics than any other state, by far, but
youd have to look elsewhere for those being
talked about as ascending stars on the nation-
al political stage.
Florida has U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, a
Cuban-American once considered a possible
running mate to Republican presidential nom-
inee Mitt Romney and who later introduced
Romney at the GOP National Convention.
Texas is sending its rst Hispanic to the U.S.
Senate, Ted Cruz, the son of a Cuban immi-
grant.
Nevada and New Mexico are led by
Hispanic governors: Brian Sandoval and
Susana Martinez. Spanish-speaking George P.
Bush, the grandson of one former president
and nephew of another whose mother is from
Mexico, is considering a run for ofce, possi-
bly Texas Land Commissioner. Texas is also
home to the Mexican-American Castro twins:
Julian, the San Antonio mayor who delivered
the keynote address at the Democratic
National Convention, and Joaquin, who is
headed to Congress.
More than 1,300 Hispanics hold elected
ofce in California. Nine Hispanics were
elected to Congress this year from the state,
and four of the last seven Assembly speakers
are Hispanics.
So, in a state once considered a launching
pad for presidents, where is Californias next
Latino Kennedy or Reagan? Or, even, the next
Romualdo Pacheco? (Pacheco was the only
Latino to serve as governor of the state, in
1875.)
To Arturo Vargas, executive director of the
National Association of Latino Elected and
Appointed Ofcials, the absence of a home-
grown Latino leader mentioned alongside
Rubio and the Castro brothers is not coinci-
dental. Despite the states reputation for diver-
sity, California has elected only a single
Hispanic to statewide ofce in the modern era
a lieutenant governor, Cruz Bustamante. A
27-year-old woman killed in crash
A 27-year old woman who was killed in a
crash in Daly City early Sunday morning has
been identified as Lauren Delos Reyes,
according to the San Mateo County Coroners
Ofce.
The Daly City resident was driving north on
Interstate Highway 280 when she collided
with another vehicle near the Eastmoor
Avenue off-ramp just after 5 a.m., according
to the California Highway Patrol.
Delos Reyes was pronounced dead at the
scene.
Several lanes were blocked until the road-
way was cleared at about 7 a.m.
The crash remains under investigation by
the CHP.

A councilmans role in a contro-
versial 7-Eleven set to open today in
San Mateo is being questioned by
Deputy Mayor David Lim, who
supports an outside investigation
into whether city staff was inu-
enced to grant a building permit by
Councilman Jack Matthews or staff
from his architectural rm.
Matthews had involvement with
Portfolio Development Partners and
its project at 501 N. San Mateo
Drive up until February of this year,
shortly before city planners abrupt-
ly ended a public process for a zon-
ing code amendment to allow a
market use on land technically
zoned residen-
tial.
City staff
ended the zon-
ing code amend-
ment process
shortly before a
nei ghbor hood
meeting in
February and
granted a build-
ing permit to Portfolio, which set in
motion the construction of a new 7-
Eleven at the former Stangelinis
Italian Deli & Hilltop Market.
Phone logs released Friday by the
city show a number of calls between
Matthews and his staff to city plan-
ners in February
that Lim is curi-
ous about.
The phone
logs raise legit-
imate questions
about communi-
cation between
city staff and
members of the
City Council
that might be seen as having inu-
enced the granting of the building
permit, Lim wrote in a statement.
Lim told the Daily Journal yester-
day that Matthews has a sterling
reputation but said tough questions
have to be made.
The old deli on the property was
considered a legal non-conforming
use and the council is currently
going through a series of public
hearings to determine if the 7-
Eleven is also a legal non-conform-
ing use for the land.
Matthews rm had been beaten
back repeatedly by city staff when
making inquiries into whether a
new market could replace the old
market because the property had
stood vacant for more than six
months after Stangelinis closed its
doors for good in 2010.
Lim called the sudden change in
land use for the property back in
February, however, very unusual.
Matthews told the Daily Journal
yesterday he had no clue that city
planners were seeking a second
opinion on city code and did not
know a building permit was issued
for the site until reading it in the
newspaper.
He also said there was no
attempt on our part to inuence the
process.
The second opinion given to city
staff by an interim city attorney in
February indicated that since the
owners of the building had no intent
of abandoning the market use for
the site that it still maintained its
legal non-conforming use status.

SACRAMENTO Democratic
legislative leaders say they will avoid
talking about higher taxes as the
Legislature convenes Monday for the
rst time since Democrats secured
supermajorities in both houses.
Voters last month gave the
Democrats two-thirds of the seats in
the Assembly and Senate for the rst
time in 130 years, giving the majori-
ty party the power to unilaterally
raise taxes, override gubernatorial
vetoes, place constitutional amend-
ments before voters and pass emer-
gency legislation that would take
effect immediately.
They also will be divvying up the
$6 billion in additional tax revenue
that is expected
to pour in annu-
ally for several
years after voters
approved Gov.
Jerry Browns
tax initiative dur-
ing the Nov. 6
general election.
T h e
Democratic gov-
ernor has said one of his key roles
will be to control the impulses of the
partys most liberal members so
Democrats dont overplay their hand
and lose faith with the public.
The partys leaders, Senate
President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg
of Sacramento and Assembly
Speaker John Perez of Los Angeles,
also say they will not revisit the idea
of further raising taxes so soon after
voters approved Browns initiative.
Proposition 30 raised the statewide
sales tax a quarter cent for four years
and increased income taxes on
income over $250,000 a year for
seven years.
We dont want to start off the new
session pushing new taxes,
Steinberg told reporters after the
November election.
He also added a caveat, saying
There will be opportunities that will
be appropriate down the line to look
at our tax structure.
The two-thirds majorities give
Democrats the power to approve tax
increases without Republican votes.
Its the rst time either party has held
a supermajority simultaneously in
both houses of the Legislature since
1978, when Californians approved
Proposition 13. The landmark prop-
erty tax initiative also increased the
number of votes needed to pass tax
increases.
Steinberg quickly quashed a pro-
posal by state Sen. Ted Lieu, D-
Torrance, who announced he wanted
to put a measure on the 2014 ballot
that would triple the states vehicle
license fee to help pay for roads and
public transit projects.
But other lawmakers are signaling
they will be aggressive about using
their partys new power to pursue
revenue, after years of cutbacks that
angered many of their staunchest
allies, including labor unions.
Democratic lawmakers will be under
pressure to start reinvesting in social
services, education, health care and
other programs.
Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco,
said he will introduce a constitutional
amendment Monday that would
lower the threshold for voters to
approve local school parcel taxes to
55 percent, from the current 65 per-
cent, conforming with the passage
rate now needed to approve local
school bonds.
Such a change would tinker with
Proposition 13 and would require
voter approval. Even before it could
appear on the ballot, the proposal
would need approval from both hous-
es of the Legislature.
This is not going to raise anyones
taxes, Leno said. This is just allow-
ing voters at the local level to be able
to have a greater opportunity to re-
invest in education.
Legislative session marked by Democratic dominance
Jerry Brown
By Anne Flaherty
WASHINGTON Republicans have
to stop using political math and say
how much they are willing to raise tax
rates on the wealthiest 2 percent of
Americans and then specify the spend-
ing cuts they want, Treasury Secretary
Tim Geithner said in an interview that
aired Sunday.
Just four weeks from the proverbial
fiscal cliff, House Speaker John
Boehner countered that Republicans
have a plan for providing as much as
$800 billion in new government revenue
over the next decade and would consider
the elimination of tax deductions on
high-income earners. But when pressed
on Fox News Sunday for precise
details, the Ohio Republican declined to
say.
There are a lot of options in terms of
how to get there, Boehner said.
Both Boehners and Geithners latest
remarks indicate it could be some time
before serious negotiations begin
between the White House and
Republicans on how to avert economic
calamity expected in less than a month
when President
George W. Bush-era
tax cuts expire and
automatic, across-
the-board spending
cuts kick in.
Last week, the
White House deliv-
ered to Capitol Hill
its opening plan:
$1.6 trillion in high-
er taxes over a decade, hundreds of bil-
lions of dollars in new spending, a possi-
ble extension of the temporary Social
Security payroll tax cut and enhancing
the presidents power to raise the nation-
al debt limit.
In exchange, the president would back
$600 billion in spending cuts, including
$350 billion from Medicare and other
health programs. But he also wants $200
billion in new spending for jobless ben-
ets, public works projects and aid for
struggling homeowners. His proposal
for raising the ceiling on government
borrowing would make it virtually
impossible for Congress to block him.
Republicans said they responded in
closed-door meetings with laughter and
disbelief.
I was just abbergasted, Boehner
said. I looked at him (Geithner) and I
said, You cant be serious. Boehner
described negotiations as going
nowhere, period, and said theres
clearly a chance the nation will go over
the cliff.
Geithner, the administrations point
man for negotiations, was slightly more
optimistic while saying the ball was in
Boehners court. But the treasury secre-
tary also said he didnt expect a coun-
teroffer right away, as Republicans work
to sort out tensions within the party in
the wake of bruising national elections
that left Democrats in charge of the
White House and the Senate.
Boehner acknowledged in his inter-
view, aired Sunday, that he wasnt happy
with public remarks by Republican Rep.
Tom Cole of Oklahoma, who said he
was ready to go along with Obamas
plan to renew expiring income tax cuts
for the majority of Americans and nego-
tiate the rates on top earners later.
Theyre trying to gure out where
they go next, Geithner said of
Republicans, and we might need to give
them a little time to gure out where
they go next.

Strategy, timing key to
states pot legalization
By Gene Johnson
SEATTLE In the late-1980s heyday of the anti-drug Just
Say No campaign, a man calling himself Jerry appeared on
a Seattle talk radio show to criticize U.S. marijuana laws.
An esteemed businessman, he hid his identity because he
didnt want to offend customers who like so many in those
days viewed marijuana as a villain in the ever-raging war
on drugs.
Now, a quarter century later, Jerry is
one of the main forces behind
Washington states successful initiative to
legalize pot for adults over 21. And he no
longer fears putting his name to the
cause: Hes Rick Steves, the travel guru
known for his popular guidebooks.
Its amazing where weve come, says
Steves of the legalization measures Washington and Colorado
voters approved last month. Its almost counterculture to
oppose us.
A once-unfathomable notion, the lawful possession and pri-
vate use of pot, becomes an American reality this week when
this states law goes into effect. Thursday is Legalization
Day here, with a tote-your-own-ounce celebration scheduled
beneath Seattles Space Needle a nod to the measure allow-
ing adults to possess up to an ounce of pot. Colorados law is
set to take effect by Jan. 5.
How did we get here? From say no to yes votes in not
one but two states?
The answer goes beyond societys evolving views, and
growing acceptance, of marijuana as a drug of choice.
In Washington and, advocates hope, coming soon to a
state near you there was a well-funded and cleverly orches-
trated campaign that took advantage of deep-pocketed back-
ers, a tweaked pro-pot message and improbable big-name sup-
porters.

CAIRO Egypts highest court
joined a judicial rebellion against
President Mohammed Morsi on
Sunday by declaring an open-ended
strike on the day it was supposed to
rule on the legitimacy of two key
assemblies controlled by allies of the
Islamist leader.
The strike by the Supreme
Constitutional Court and opposition
plans to march on the presidential
palace on Tuesday take the countrys
latest political crisis to a level not
seen in the nearly two years of tur-
moil since Hosni Mubaraks ouster
in a popular
uprising.
Judges from
the countrys
highest appeals
court and its sis-
ter lower court
were already on
an indefinite
strike, joining
colleagues from
other tribunals
who suspended work last week to
protest what they saw as Morsis
assault on the judiciary.
The last time Egypt had an all-out
strike by the judiciary was in 1919,
when judges joined an uprising
against British colonial rule.
The standoff began when Morsi
issued decrees on Nov. 22 giving him
near-absolute powers that granted
himself and the Islamist-dominated
assembly drafting the new constitu-
tion immunity from the courts.
The constitutional panel then
raced in a marathon session last
week to vote on the charters 236
clauses without the participation of
liberal and Christian members. The
fast-track hearing pre-empted a deci-
sion from the Supreme
Constitutional Court that was widely
expected to dissolve the constituent
assembly.
The judges on Sunday postponed
their ruling on that case just before
they went on strike.
Without a functioning justice sys-
tem, Egypt will be plunged even
deeper into turmoil. It has already
seen a dramatic surge in crime after
the uprising, while state authority is
being challenged in many aspects of
life and the courts are burdened by a
massive backlog of cases.
The country cannot function for
long like this, something has to
give, said Negad Borai, a private
law rm director and a rights activist.
We are in a country without courts
of law and a president with all the
powers in his hands. This is a clear-
cut dictatorial climate, he said.
Mohamed Abdel-Aziz, a rights
lawyer, said the strike by the judges
will impact everything from divorce
and theft to nancial disputes that, in
some cases, could involve foreign
investors.
Ordinary citizens affected by the
strike will become curious about the
details of the current political crisis
and could possibly make a choice to
join the protests, he said.
The Judges Club, a union with
9,500 members, said late Sunday
that judges would not, as customary,
oversee the national referendum
Morsi called for Dec. 15 on the draft
constitution hammered out and hur-
riedly voted on last week.
Egypts highest court joins judicial strike
RAMALLAH, West Bank The
Palestinian president returned tri-
umphantly to the West Bank on Sunday,
receiving a boisterous welcome from
thousands of cheering supporters at a
rally celebrating his peoples new
acceptance to the United Nations.
An Israeli decision to cut off a cash
transfer to the financially troubled
Palestinian Authority, following an earli-
er decision to build thousands of new
homes in Jewish settlements, failed to
put a damper on the celebrations.
But Palestinian officials acknowl-
edged they were undecided on what to
do with their newfound status, and were
waiting for upcoming Israeli elections
and new ideas from President Barack
Obama before deciding how to proceed.
Outside the headquarters of President
Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank city
of Ramallah, some 5,000 people
thronged a square, hoisted Palestinian
flags and cheered
their leaders return
from New York.
Large posters of the
Palestinian leader,
whose popularity
had plummeted in
recent months,
adorned nearby
buildings.
We now have a
state, Abbas said to
wild applause. The world has said loud-
ly, Yes to the state of Palestine.
The United Nations General Assembly
last week overwhelmingly endorsed an
independent Palestinian state in the West
Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip,
territories Israel captured in the 1967
war.
The move to upgrade the Palestinians
to a nonmember observer state does not
change much on the ground, but it car-
ries deep potential signicance.
The vote amounted to an international
endorsement of the Palestinian position
on future border arrangements with
Israel and an overwhelming condemna-
tion of Israeli settlements in the areas
claimed by the Palestinians.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu rejects a return to Israels
1967 lines. Israel remains in control in
parts of the West Bank and considers
east Jerusalem, the Palestinians hoped-
for capital, an integral part of its capital.
Israel also continues to restrict access
to Gaza. Israel withdrew seven years ago
from the coastal strip, and it is now ruled
by Hamas Islamic militants who regular-
ly re rockets at Israel.
Israel, backed by the U.S., cam-
paigned strongly against the statehood
measure, accusing the Palestinians of
trying to bypass direct peace negotia-
tions, which it said were the only viable
path to a Palestinian state.
The Israeli lobbying efforts failed mis-
erably. Just eight other countries voted
with Israel.
Abbas returns triumphantly to West Bank

sions for two new national television stations.

half an hour after repairs to it were completed a day earlier, the

Taxing confusion
Editor,
Are Republicans deliberately confusing
the issue with all their nonsense about taxing
small businesses out of existence or are
they just as bewildered as so many of the
gullible voting for them? According to the
Nov. 23 edition of the magazine The
Week, less than a quarter of Americas 27
million small businesses have employees. An
even smaller portion grow beyond 20
employees.
Research from the University of Chicago
nds that 75 percent of small business own-
ers arent aiming for growth at all, but are
simply looking for a steady job as their own
boss.
For those very few small businesses, if
any, with net taxable income over $250,000,
returning to the 4.6 percentage points higher
tax rate under Clinton would only apply to
the amount over that threshold. It would not
affect the rst quarter of a million net tax-
able income for anyone. To claim that this
will hamper growth and result in job loss is
beyond stupidity. It is a deliberate attempt at
fooling low-info gullible voters.

seems dubious. She even speculated that the

The scal cliff
Editor,
I think we need to make a decision to take
the authority away from the government that
allows it to hold us ransom every year, so it
seems. Here is how we can do that. Lets all
together jump over that perceived scal cliff,
and lets all take it in the shorts. Next year
will be tough, but thereafter we will be
happy. We will have taken lots of the politi-
cal power away from both parties, and that
would be good and long-lasting. Its time to

Getting the facts straight
Editor,
The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) was
formed in 1928 in Egypt by Hassan al
Banna. One of its main goals was the perse-
cution of Jews. This was 20 years before the
reconstituted Jewish state of Israel was
formed, replacing the one destroyed 2,000
years earlier by the Romans.
Because the MB was formed decades
before Palestine was actually reconstituted as
the new Jewish state, Hamas, the Gaza
branch of the MB, obviously represents
extreme Islam and not Palestinian national-
ism. As a staunch supporter of Hitlers geno-
cide against the Jews, the MB carried out
massacres during the 1930s in Palestine and
Egypt. Its leader spent part of World War II
in Berlin as Hitlers guests.
Before 1948, all Jews and Arabs in
Palestine were Palestinians. Arab
Palestinians falsely invented themselves as
the real Palestinians after 1948. The ulti-
mate proof is that the right of the Jews under
international law to renew their national
home in Palestine, a geographical area, was
unanimously recognized in 1922 by the
entire League of Nations in a declaration
that is legally binding on the subsequent
organization, the United Nations.
Although sharing the same genocidal goals
for Jews, Gazans and West Bank Arabs
(mostly Fatah) are ideologically in conict
with each other. We saw Hamas throw Fatah
out of Gaza with unrestrained brutality.
Its time to remove the blinkers and choose
sides. Genocide is simply not negotiable.

How can the United Nations
seriously consider membership
for Palestine?
Editor,
The terrorist group Hamas, rulers of Gaza,
are ascending as the apparent representatives
of the Palestinian people, marginalizing
President Abbas, whose Palestinian
Authority governs the West Bank.
Nevertheless, on Nov. 29, 2012, at the
request of the Palestinian Authority, the
United Nations status of Palestine was
upgraded to non-member observer state.
Presumably, this is a step toward full U.N.
membership for Palestine.
Section 1, Article 4 of Chapter II
(Membership) of the U.N. Charter says,
Membership in the United Nations is open
to all other peace-loving states ... . On May
11, 1949, the United Nations, having deter-
mined that Israel was a peace-loving state,
admitted Israel for U.N. membership.
The Preamble and Articles 7, 22 and 32 of
Hamas Charter expressly advocate killing
Jews, and Hamas has red or allowed more
than 2,000 missiles to be red from Gazan
civilian areas towards Israeli civilians a
double war crime just this year alone.
Its uncertain who speaks for the
Palestinians. If its the Palestinian Authority,
its unclear whether they accept a two-state
solution or will demand a Palestinian right of
return to Israel that would eliminate Israel as
we know it. If its Hamas, its indisputable
that Hamas is dedicated to killing Jews, and
Hamas has steadfastly refused to acknowl-
edge Israels right to exist. In either case,
you should wonder how the United Nations
can seriously consider admitting Palestine,
whose representatives have failed to demon-
strate they are peace-loving and whose
words and actions are absolutely inconsistent
with this concept, into U.N. membership.

A tale of two dates
Editor,
On Nov. 29, 1947, the U.N. General
Assembly partitions the British Mandate. A
2,000-year-old Jewish dream is fullled. The
partition is awed, imperfect, yet accepted
by pragmatists like David Ben Gurion. Five
Arab armies attack. Israel survives.
Thereafter, 65 years of remarkable growth
follows, surely in ts and starts, interspersed
with great sacrice, war and destruction.
Today, Israel is a modern economic power-
house, the envy of most states in the region.
It is awed but committed to democratic val-
ues and justice for all of its citizens. Its Arab
citizens, 20 percent of the population, face
discrimination but are also represented in the
Knesset. A free press maddens everyone yet
speaks truth to power. A Supreme Court tire-
lessly guarantees the rule of law, protecting
minority rights. Jews ght and bicker about
pluralistic values and the role of religion in
daily life. Israel is, in S.Y. Agnons words,
the owering of our redemption.
On Nov. 29, 2012, 65 years to the day, a
lopsided, unfair piece of political theater
passes the General Assembly afrming only
the Palestinian narrative. Palestinians rejoice.
On Nov. 30, there are no negotiations
between the parties to work out differences.
There is no owering of Palestinian
redemption. Whats next? Game on!

Californias
cap-and-trade
experiment
The Press Democrat
C
alifornias rst cap-and-trade auc-
tion is a milestone in the ght
against global warming. For the
rst time, a U.S. state is turning to the mar-
ketplace as a means of ratcheting back
greenhouse gas emissions.
California has an ambitious goal: cutting
back to 1990 levels by the end of the
decade. Sonoma County wants to cut fur-
ther and faster 25 percent below 1990
levels by 2015 and progress is being
made. Emissions in Sonoma County
declined for the third year in a row in 2011,
according to the Climate Protection
Campaign.
But a single state cannot reverse the
global effects of carbon pollution and cli-
mate change. Moreover, with an improving
economy, demand will increase for energy,
and people will drive more, making it hard-
er to meet state and local goals.
Putting a price on greenhouse gases cre-
ates an incentive to meet the benchmarks.
Cap-and-trade is a method of setting the
price, using a market-based mechanism. If
it works here, it could become a national
model.
Under AB 32, a state law adopted in
2006, total allowable emissions will decline
annually, returning to 1990 levels over the
next eight years. Businesses that produce
large amounts of carbon dioxide oil
reneries and power plants, for instance
have the option of reducing emissions or
purchasing allowances at quarterly auc-
tions.
Companies that reduce emissions can
recoup costs by selling surplus allowances.
An added dividend is the likely boost for
Bay Area clean-tech companies that devel-
op new methods for reducing emissions.
By putting a price on carbon, state Air
Resources Board Chairwoman Mary
Nichols said, we can break our unhealthy
dependence on fossil fuels.
The cap-and-trade approach was used to
reverse the effects of acid rain in
Midwestern states that rely heavily on coal-
burning power plants. One major difference
with Californias emissions program is that
carbon allowances are being sold at auction
rather than distributed without charge.
In its rst quarterly auction, held last
week, the air board offered 23.1 million
emission permits for 2013, each good for
one metric ton of carbon dioxide. All of
them sold, and so did 5.58 million credits
offered for 2015. Moreover, there were
three times as many bidders as buyers,
rebutting predictions that the auctions
would be ignored.
The price set by the auction was $10.09
per metric ton, slightly more than the $10
oor set by regulators in advance. Thats
not nearly enough to meet a goal of raising
$500 million a year for the state budget.
But, as Nichols noted, the primary goal
isnt to raise revenue but to reduce green-
house gases at the lowest cost to producers.
By that measure, the auction can be
deemed a success.
State utility regulators have proposed that
some of the revenue be set aside to help
offset rising electricity costs due to the
shift to cleaner energy sources. That would
benet residential and commercial utility
customers, just as the ability to sell surplus
allowances will help carbon producers.
Californias program is the product of a
Republican governor (Arnold
Schwarzenegger) and a Democratic
Legislature. Other states have shown inter-
est but havent started their own programs.
Republicans in Washington have blocked a
national cap-and-trade program. Yet if the
Golden States program succeeds, the rest
of the country may ask why it cant enjoy
the same dividends.

BUSINESS 10
By Matthew Craft
NEW YORK The money manag-
ers job is supposed to be straightfor-
ward: Take peoples cash and put it to
work. The more money that comes in,
the bigger the managers paycheck.
So why would two of the countrys
largest fund managers tell would-be
investors in junk bonds, the common
name for bonds issued by companies
with the lowest credit ratings, to go
away?
The short answer is that its for their
own good. The market for junk bonds,
the pros say, has become so popular that
its dangerous.
Thanks largely to the unsteady econo-
my, interest rates on U.S. government
bonds have fallen to record lows. And
individual investors remain leery of the
stock market.
Desperate for better returns, theyre
sinking billions into higher-paying
bonds backed by businesses with bad
credit scores. Those deeply indebted
companies have borrowed a record
amount from investors and are increas-
ingly using the money in ways that could
strain their ability to pay it back.
Earlier this year, two mutual fund
giants, T. Rowe Price and Vanguard,
began turning down people hoping to
invest in funds that buy junk bonds. Both
said they were running out of worth-
while places to put customer money.
Its getting harder and harder to nd
places to invest, says Michael Gitlin,
director of xed-income at T. Rowe
Price. He says investors are getting paid
record-low interest rates for taking on
much more risk.
Consider the numbers:
Junk-bond sales in the U.S.
snapped the single-year record in
October and have kept climbing. Sales
for the year totaled $324 billion as of
Nov. 28, according to Dealogic, a data
provider. In the three years leading up to
the 2008 nancial crisis, a time marked
by easy lending, companies with junk
credit ratings sold an average of $144
billion each year.
Companies are lining up to sell
bonds because borrowing rates have
never been lower. The typical company
rated speculative-grade, one of the
polite names for junk, pays 6.6 percent
to borrow in the bond market. The aver-
age over the past decade was 9.2 percent,
according to T. Rowe Price research.
Demand for junk has remained
strong. Individual investors, people sav-
ing for retirement or building a nest egg,
have put $28 billion into U.S. junk bond
funds this year while pulling $85 billion
from U.S. stock funds, according to
Morningstar.
Over the past 10 years, individual
investors have dropped $96 billion into
the junk bond market, according to a
Vanguard research paper. The bulk of it,
77 percent, was deposited in the past
three years.
All that money has started to change
things. For a while, falling borrowing
costs and willing lenders prevented
many troubled companies from sinking
into bankruptcy. Well-known companies
such as Caesars Entertainment and the
parent of Century 21, Realogy, sold
bonds at low rates, used the cash to pay
down other expensive loans and avoided
defaulting on their debts.
But whats good for borrowers can
eventually be dangerous to investors.
Fund managers and analysts now warn
that the seemingly boundless appetite
for bonds has eroded lending standards.
Companies with shaky credit scores can
borrow on easier terms for questionable
purposes.
Junk bond sales climbing
Its health care brinksmanship, with
hundreds of billions of dollars and the
well-being of millions of people at stake.
President Barack Obamas health care
law expands Medicaid, the federal-state
health program for low-income people,
but cost-wary states must decide
whether to take the deal.
Turn it down, and governors risk com-
ing off as callous toward their neediest
residents. Not to mention the likely sec-
ond-guessing for walking away from a
pot of federal dollars estimated at nearly
$1 trillion nationally over a decade.
If the Obama administration were to
compromise, say by sweetening the
offer to woo a reluctant state, it would
face immediate demands from 49 others
for similar deals that could run up the tab
by tens of billions of dollars.
As state legislatures look ahead to
their 2013 sessions, the calculating and
the lobbying have already begun.
Conservative opponents of the health
care law are leaning on lawmakers to
turn down the Medicaid money.
Hospitals, doctors groups, advocates for
the poor, and some business associations
are pressing them to accept it.
Heres the big thing: The state does
not want to expand Medicaid and get
stuck with the bill, said Dr. Bill Hazel,
Virginias health secretary. Our legisla-
tors do not like to raise taxes to pay for a
benet someone else has promised. The
concerns we have ... are around federal
solvency and the ability of the federal
government to meet its commitment.
Medicaid covers nearly 60 million
low-income and disabled people but dif-
fers signicantly from state to state.
Under the health care law, Medicaid
would be expanded on Jan. 1, 2014, to
cover people making up to 138 percent
of the federal poverty line, or about
$15,400 a year for an individual.
About half the 30 million people gain-
ing coverage under the law would do so
through Medicaid. Most of the new ben-
eciaries would be childless adults, but
about 2.7 million would be parents with
children at home. The federal govern-
ment would pay the full cost of the rst
three years of the expansion, gradually
phasing down to a 90 percent share.
Groups split on Medicaid expansion
SEOUL, South Korea Shin Cheol-soo no longer sees his
future in the United States.
The South Korean businessman supplied components to
American automakers for a decade. But this year, he uprooted
his family from Detroit and moved home to focus on selling to
the new economic superpower: China.
In just ve years, China has surpassed the United States as a
trading partner for much of the world, including U.S. allies such
as South Korea and Australia, according to an Associated Press
analysis of trade data. As recently as 2006, the U.S. was the
larger trading partner for 127 countries, versus just 70 for
China. By last year the two had clearly traded places: 124 coun-
tries for China, 76 for the U.S.
In the most abrupt global shift of its kind since World War II,
the trend is changing the way people live and do business from
Africa to Arizona, as farmers plant more soybeans to sell to
China and students sign up to learn Mandarin.
The ndings show how fast China has ascended to challenge
Americas century-old status as the globes dominant trader, a
change that is gradually translating into political inuence.
They highlight how pervasive Chinas impact has been, spread-
ing from neighboring Asia to Africa and now emerging in Latin
America, the traditional U.S. backyard.
Despite Chinas now-slowing economy, its share of world
output and trade is expected to keep rising, with growth forecast
at up to 8 percent a year over the next decade, far above U.S.
and European levels. This growth could strengthen the hand of
a new generation of just-named Chinese leaders, even as it fuels
strain with other nations.
Last year, Shins Ena Industry Co. made half his sales of rub-
ber and plastic parts to U.S. factories. But his plans call for
China, which overtook the United States as the biggest auto
market in 2009, to rise vefold to 30 percent of his total by
2015. He and his children are studying Mandarin.
The United States is a tiger with no power, Shin said.

Sacred Heart Prep head football
coach Peter Lavorato stood as a
two-time Central Coast Section
champion in front of his football
team with a Gator Nation to his
back and rain still falling from the
Pacica sky. The post game mes-
sage to his boys was simple.
Love covers a multitude of sins,
he said. The entire season has been
about love.
And the Gators celebrated like
one big, happy family Saturday
night at Terra Nova High School as
they captured their second Central
Coast Section title in three years by
defeating Menlo School 13-7 in a
wet and wild affair.
Quarterback Kevin Donahoe
scored the eventual winning touch-
down with 7:44 left in the game
this after the Gators trailed 7-0 at
the half.
Im very proud of our offense in
terms of moving the ball in the sec-
ond half, Lavorato said. That last
drive was unbelievable.
Both second-half touchdown
drives by SHP were impressive.
With the skies in a complete down-
pour and a layer of water covering
the football eld, the Gators used 13
plays on both occasions. Ben Burr-
Kirven score with 5:33 left in the
third quarter and Donahoes 11-yard
naked bootleg in the fourth gave
SHP the advantage.
All I can say is we kept our
heads in it the whole time,
Donahoe said. At half time we
could have easily fallen behind and
let them take the lead and what not.
It was kind of set up the whole
game, Donahoe said of his touch-
down run. We thought we could
always come back to it. And coach
had faith in us. Thats our O-line
right there. I credit them 100 per-
cent for that.
While the SHP offense was busy
moving the ball, it was their defense
that took full advantage of the
inclement weather to slow down the
potent Menlo offense. The Knights
came into Saturdays Division IV
championship game averaging more
than 50 points and 270 yards pass-
ing per game. Jack Heneghan, who
tossed 33 touchdowns and only
three interceptions prior to
Saturdays game, was 6 of 20 for 68
yards with a touchdown and three
picks two by Jack Del Santo.
A lot of the credit goes to the D-
line, Del Santo said. They were
getting great pressure on the QB.
Its tough on a QB when you have a
lot of pressure in your face. Our sec-
ondary makes great plays the ball.
Our coaches set up a great game

St. Louis Rams cornerback Janoris Jenkins (R) pressures San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in the end zone for a safety dur-
ing the second half of their NFL football game in St. Louis Sunday.
ST. LOUIS Colin Kaepernick blamed
himself after losing for the rst time as the
San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback. It
appears he will not be losing his job.
After the St. Louis Rams avoided a second
tie with San Francisco with a 16-13 overtime
victory on Sunday, coach Jim Harbaugh indi-
cated hed be sticking with Kaepernick next
week at home against the Dolphins.
Ill let you know if theres a change, but
right now I think itll be the same as it was this
week, Harbaugh said. Im proud of Kap,
proud of the way he played. He handled him-
self well, gave our team a chance to win.
Harbaugh took the heat for Kaepernicks
errant pitch in the fourth quarter that led to a
2-yard fumble return for touchdown by
Janoris Jenkins. Combined with a 2-point con-
version, that tied it at 10 with 3:04 to play.
Harbaugh said it was the wrong play to call
at the time.
I would have loved to have that one back,
but dont blame the players on that one,
Harbaugh added.
Kaepernick also gave up a safety when he
was whistled for intentional grounding in the
end zone. Though he rallied the 49ers to a go-
ahead eld goal late in regulation, he felt the
sting of defeat.
I gave up those points that were on the
scoreboard for the Rams, so thats 100 percent
on me, Kaepernick said. Ive just got to keep
working. Theres nothing more you can do
than keep working and get ready for next
week.
Leading 10-2, Kaepernick was well off the
mark on a pitch to Ted Ginn Jr. from the San
Francisco 17 on third-and-3, and Jenkins fell
on it at the 2 before opping into the end zone.
The second-round pick out of North Alabama
returned two interceptions for touchdowns last
week in a victory at Arizona.
Tight end Lance Kendricks beat coverage
from Patrick Willis on the 2-point conversion
as the Rams succeeded even after a false start
penalty on tackle Rodger Saffold.
I just pitched it high, Kaepernick said. It
was my fault all the way, I gave up those
points that were on the scoreboard for the
Rams, so thats 100 percent my fault.
Greg Zuerlein kicked a 54-yard eld goal
with 26 seconds left in overtime. The rookies
winning kick came after he sent the game into
overtime with a 53-yard eld goal as time
expired in regulation.
The Rams (5-6-1) have won two straight
49ers lose to Rams 16-13 in overtime

on the No. 1 Stanford womens basketball

Greeneld scored a career-high 18 points,
hitting six 3-pointers, to help the Cardinal
beat Gonzaga 69-41 on Sunday.
It really shows what kind of team we are,
Greeneld said. When someone is hot we
nd them. They want you to shoot until the
streak ends.
Chiney Ogwumike had 21 points and 11
rebounds for Stanford (8-0). Joslyn Tinkle
added 16 points.
Greeneld made 6-of-8 from 3 point range
as Stanford shot 49 percent from the oor to
overwhelm Gonzaga early.
But the Cardinal appreciated the sold-out
crowd of 6,000.

OAKLAND The problems piling up for
Raiders rst-year coach Dennis Allen are so
vast and varied that it could take months if
not years for the franchise to be xed.
Instead, Oakland has three days, and Allen
wont be around for most of them.
After the Raiders lost 20-17 to the
Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Allen headed
to the Dallas-Fort Worth area to be with his
gravely ill father, Grady. The team said Allen
will return to Oakland late Wednesday to
coach against Peyton Manning and the
Denver Broncos on Thursday night.
All the same issues surrounding the team
during its ve-game losing streak will be
waiting for Allen when he gets back.
Its just tough, especially, week in and

run, cant stop the pass, Raiders defensive
back Michael Huff said. Things just arent

plan and our D-line knew what
they had to do in the game. I think
they were able to get it done.
The game got off to a wild start.
Travis Chambers fumbled on
Menlos first offensive possession
and while the Knights defense
stopped SHP on the ensuing drive,
Heneghan threw his first intercep-
tion of the game an offensive play
later to set the Gators up with a
first down on Menlos 19-yard line.
One play into that drive, SHP
fumbled the ball as Burr-Kirven
was inches away from crossing
into the end zone no more than
five minutes into the game and the
weather proved it was going to be a
definite factor.
As soon as they turned the ball
over, I said to myself, I guarantee
you were going to turn it over
down there, Lavorato said of the
games initial minutes. It takes
time to get used to this kind of
weather and thats what happened.
If you noticed in the second half
there werent any more fumbles
from any team. Ill tell you what,
we tell our guys, you have to stay
in your defense, trust your reads
because he can still throw the darn
ball and they can catch. Our
defense was outstanding today
because theyre (Menlo) a very
good football team.
The game turned into a field pos-
session battle and with 2:44 left in
the half, it was Heneghans legs
that set up his 34th touchdown pass
of the year an 8-yard pass to
Matt Bradley on a roll out to make
it 7-0 going into half time.
Despite being down, Donahoe
said the team did not get down on
itself in the locker room.
I told them were not a throwing
team even in perfect conditions,
Lavorato said. You have to get off
the ball and you have to start
pounding them.
The Gators got right to following
their coaches orders. Behind
Andrew Segre, some tough running
by Burr-Kirven and Ryan Gaertner,
SHP wore down the Menlo
defense. Sacred Heart used up 13
plays right out of the third-quarter
chute to tie the game behind a
Burr-Kirven one-yard TD. The
drive ate up almost seven minutes.
Then, after a Menlo punt,
Donahoe led the SHP offense on
another 13-play drive. No. 7s
bootleg fooled the entire Knights
defense.
I called it because it was there
all year and weve never called it,
Lavorato said. Kevin is a good
runner and I felt like, you know
what, whats the worst thing that
can happen? I thought he would
have to make a move on one guy
but there wasnt anybody there.
From there, Menlo was forced to
throw the ball and battle Del Santo
and the rain the Gator along
with the weather won out. Del
Santos two interceptions came in a
matter of six minutes the latter
of which he returned 40 yards to
the Menlo 19-yard line. A couple
of kneel downs later, the love fest
began for the new Division IV
champions.
Weve been working for this the
whole year and it feels good, said
Segre, who finished with 134 yards
on 23 carries. I dont know what
else to say. Our O-line did really
well and we just did our thing.
SHP ran 36 plays in the second
half to Menlos 20 all of them
runs. The Gators rushed for 246
yards.
Its been a great year, Lavorato
said. I dont know if anybody
really thought we were going to be
as good as we are. Probably I did-
nt even think that. But I tell you
what, these kids are a special group
of kids. They really are. Its a won-
derful group. I love them. I love
them.

SHP
after an 0-4-1 skid.
The 49ers (8-3-1) failed to take
advantage of a 14-yard punt by
rookie Johnny Hekker to mideld
when David Akers was barely wide
right on a 51-yard attempt with 4:11
to go in overtime. Akers is just 7 for
15 from 40 yards and beyond.
Zuerlein is 7 for 11 from the 50
and beyond and had plenty of dis-
tance on the kick on fourth-and-
inches. Before the 53-yarder at the
end of regulation, he had missed
four of his previous seven attempts
including a 58-yarder near the end
of the half.
The last time teams tied twice in a
season was in 1963 in games
between the Eagles and Steelers.
The last time teams had two ties in
a season was in 1973 when it hap-
pened to four teams.
The rst 49ers-Rams meeting this
season was the NFLs rst tie in four
seasons, and was a lot more wide
open with both teams missing
chances to end it in overtime.
Most of the game was a defensive
struggle, nothing like the 24-24 tie
in San Francisco. Michel Crabtree
was a rare offensive standout with
seven catches for 101 yards, while
St. Louis rookie Chris Givens had
11 receptions for 92 yards.
Akers 33-yard eld goal put the
49ers ahead with 1:38 remaining, a
score set up by Kaepernicks 50-yard
carry on a rollout. It left just enough
time for Sam Bradford to guide the
Rams 45 yards in seven plays.
The 49ers Frank Gore scored the
only offensive touchdown of the
game on a 1-yard run late in the rst
quarter. Kaepernicks run to the St.
Louis 14 at the two-minute warning
behind a convoy that included Gore,
who upended linebacker Rocky
McIntosh.
The Rams failed on fourth-and-1
from the 4 earlier in the game when
Bradford couldnt connect with
Austin Pettis in the right corner of
the end zone against double cover-
age, leaving them with nothing to
show for their best possession of the
game. St. Louis had four first
downs, matching the rst-half total,
while going 74 yards on 11 plays in
nearly seven minutes.
Both teams kept it close to the
vest in the rst half with the 49ers
outgaining the Rams 113-85 and
putting together one nice drive,
going 60 yards on 11 plays with
three third-down conversions,
capped by Gores 1 yard scoring run
late in the rst quarter.
Kaepernick scrambled for one of
the rst downs and threw for two
others, the last a 7-yard catch by
Mario Manningham to the 1 one
play before the touchdown.
Zuerlein had the distance on his
58-yard attempt with 25 seconds to
go in the rst half, but was well
wide to the right. In the rst meeting
at San Francisco, Zuerlein was wide
right on a 58-yarder in overtime
after making a 53-yarder that was
nullied by a delay of game call.

PASADENA Wisconsin
believes its third straight trip to the
Rose Bowl could be the charm.
Stanford is hoping for another vic-
tory in its charmed run through the
Bowl Championship Series.
The unranked Badgers (8-5) and
the No. 8 Cardinal (11-2) will meet
in the 99th edition of the Rose Bowl
on Jan. 1, the bowl formally
announced Sunday night.
Arroyo Seco will be lled with
fans wearing red and white when
two schools with virtually identical
colors play a rematch of the 2000
Rose Bowl, won 17-9 by Wisconsin
with Heisman Trophy-winning tail-
back Ron Dayne.
That loss was Stanfords most
recent trip to the Granddaddy of
Them All, while the Badgers lost
the last two Rose Bowls to TCU and
Oregon.
Stanford is in its third consecutive
BCS bowl.
The Cardinals run to the Orange,
Fiesta and Rose bowls in consecu-
tive seasons was a nearly unimagin-
able feat just six seasons ago when
coach Jim Harbaugh took over the
long-struggling program at a school
with lofty academic standards and a
fan base dwarfed by the confer-
ences big-name football schools.
Wisconsin is no stranger to sur-
prising occurrences after this week-
end. The Badgers seemed highly
unlikely to make their third straight
Rose Bowl this season after a series
of narrow losses, but they stunned
Nebraska 70-31 on Saturday in the
Big Ten title game to earn yet anoth-
er sun-splashed
break from the
Wisconsin win-
ter for their
hearty fan base.

years, but those two NFL-bound
leaders never managed what coach
David Shaw and freshman quarter-
back Kevin Hogan did in the past
month by winning the conference
title and getting the Cardinal back to
Pasadena.
After beating No. 1 Oregon 17-14
in an overtime thriller two weeks
ago, Stanford beat UCLA twice in
seven days, clinching the Rose
Bowl berth with another nail-biter
at Stanford Stadium on Friday
night.
Stanford hasnt won the Rose
Bowl since the Indians as the
Cardinal were known until 1972
earned back-to-back victories fol-
lowing the 1970 and 1971 seasons.

STANFORD Dwight Powell
keeps getting better and showing
hes healthier than ever. Thats great
news for Stanford.
Powell, who struggled with foot
problems last year, scored a career-
high 29 points in helping Stanford
beat Denver 71-58 Sunday.
Powell helped the Cardinal (6-3)
dominate in the paint, where
Stanford outscored the Pioneers 36-
20.
One of our focuses has been to
use our size, Powell said. Hit the
post, look for the cutters and try to
get some easy shots.
Powell nished 10 of 13 from the
eld and made 9 of 11 free throws.
Hes still developing but were
beginning to gure out what well
get from him every night and hes
starting to nd that consistency,
Cardinal coach Johnny Dawkins
said. He showed ashes as a fresh-
man and now I think well be seeing
more games like this from him.
Josh Huestis grabbed a game-
high 10 rebounds, his second dou-
ble-gure rebounding game of the
year. Hes averaging a team best
8.1.
Royce ONeale scored 17 points
for the Pioneers (1-5), who lost their
fourth straight.
This is another big part of the
challenge, Denver coach Joe Scott
said. I thought in the second half
we executed extremely well. When
we execute that way, when that
becomes who we are, were going
to be a good basketball team.
Stanford, which now begins a 13-
day break for nals, never trailed
against the Pioneers. The Cardinal
built an early 21-6 advantage and
Denver, which has not scored more
than 68 points in a game this season,
never got closer than 10 the rest of
the way.
It was a good game for us going
into the break, Dawkins said. We
had to learn how to deal with their
unorthodox defense. We made some
shots and guys are growing into
their roles.
Chris Udoa added 10 points for
the Pioneers, who have not beaten
Stanford since 1972.

Homeowner must maintain property as primary residence and remain current on
property taxes and insurance
going well on defense. Right now, I
guess were just a bad defense. We
cant really hide it. At this point, the
numbers dont really allow it. Were
just bad right now.
Once again, the Raiders never
seemed to be in rhythm.
The biggest blunder came when
rookie Juron Criner used a double
move to get behind Sheldon Brown
and Carson Palmer underthrew the
deep ball with Oakland already in
position for a tying field goal.
Brown intercepted the pass at the 6-
yard line and Brandon Weeden
engineered an impressive touch-
down drive beginning with 9:31 to
play.
I was trying to take a shot there,
go for the touchdown quickly and
just didnt put the ball in the right
spot, didnt give Juron a chance to
make a play on the ball, Palmer
said.
The Raiders (3-9) have lost ve
straight for the rst time since a six-
game losing streak in Lane Kifns
rst year as coach in 2006. They
also have been ofcially eliminated
from playoff contention for a 10th
straight year.
Not that they ever really looked
headed to the postseason.
Weeden threw for a career-high
364 yards and a touchdown and
made key plays on the clinching 94-
yard drive that helped the Browns
snap a 12-game road losing streak.
He hit fellow rookie Josh Gordon
on a 44-yard score in the second
quarter and Trent Richardson
scored on a 3-yard run after
Browns key interception.
It all added up to the rst road
win for the Browns (4-8) since beat-
ing Indianapolis 27-19 in the sec-
ond game of the 2011 season. The
skid started a few weeks later with a
loss in Oakland and went deep into
this season.
You dont want streaks like
that, Browns coach Pat Shurmur
said. Lets face it, over the last few
years we havent done a great job of
winning games. And so, as we take
this journey with this young football
team, theyre starting to learn.
Weeden completed an 11-yard
pass on third-and-3 to Gordon to get
the Browns started and also had a
big 22-yard pass to tight end
Benjamin Watson. Weeden then
converted a fourth-and-1 sneak
from the Oakland 45 and Desmond
Bryant jumped offside on a third-
and-1 from the Raiders 10.
Richardson scored two plays later
to give the Browns a 20-10 lead
with 3:27 to go as the Browns won
for the fourth time in seven games
since an 0-5 start to match last sea-
sons win total.
Weeden had one of his best games
as a pro against Oaklands depleted
defense. He completed 25 of 36
passes and overcame two rst-half
interceptions to lead the late drive
against a Raiders secondary that
lost safeties Matt Giordano and
Mike Mitchell and cornerback
Phillip Adams to concussions.
Richardson ran for 72 yards and
Gordon had six catches for 116
yards as Cleveland took advantage
of Oaklands struggling defense.
Palmer was 34 for 54 for 351
yards, including a 64-yard touch-
down to rookie Rod Streater. He
added a 17-yard TD pass to
Brandon Myers with 1 second left,
but it was too late. Myers caught 14
passes for 130 yards, tying Tim
Browns franchise record for catch-
es in a game.
But Palmers interceptions over-
shadowed Oaklands positive
marks.
We cant turn the ball over like
that, Allen said. Weve got all the
momentum, were moving the ball,
and we cant have that self-inicted
wound right there. (If) its not there
weve got to get rid of it, but we
cant make that mistake.
Oakland showed signs of life late
in the third quarter when Desmond
Bryant blocked a 28-yard eld goal
attempt by Phil Dawson. Four plays
later, Streater made a good adjust-
ment on a deep pass from Palmer
that cut Clevelands lead to 13-10.
After getting outscored by 90
points during what general manager
Reggie McKenzie recently
described as a terrible November,
the Raiders didnt get off to a much
better start in December.
They punted on their rst four
possessions and fell behind 10-0 as
Dawson kicked a 41-yard eld goal
early in the second quarter and
Gordon beat Ron Bartell deep on a
44-yard pass later in the second.
RAIDERS
Greenfield said.
Taelor Karr and Haiden Palmer
led cold-shooting Gonzaga (6-2)
with 10 points each.
The Bulldogs shot just 25 per-
cent in the game, in which
Stanford looked every bit the top
team in the nation while Gonzaga
bore little resemblance to the team
that has made three straight trips
to the round of 16.
Defensively we did some good
things, Gonzaga coach Kelly
Graves said. But you cant expect
to shoot 25 percent and beat any-
body, let alone one of the best
teams in the country.
Stanford held Gonzaga to 1-of-
14 shooting in the opening seven
minutes, and Greenfield made
three 3-pointers, as the Cardinal
built a 17-5 lead.
Greenfield hit her fourth 3-
pointer with 8:12 left in the first to
lift Stanford to a 23-5 lead.
Gonzaga was 2-of-22 from the
floor at that point, while Stanford
was 9-of-17.
Palmer scored a pair of baskets
for Gonzaga to cut Stanfords lead
to 25-9.
Stanfords shooting cooled off
and a basket by Karr cut the
Cardinal advantage to 14.
Ogwumike scored and Tinkle hit a
3-pointer to lift Stanford of a 32-
16 halftime lead.
Gonzaga shot just 17.9 percent
(7-of-39) in the first half, and did
not attempt a free throw.
The teams traded baskets
through the first 10 minutes of the
second half, and Stanford gradual-
ly extended its lead. Greenfields
sixth 3-pointer gave the Cardinal a
52-28 lead with 10 minutes left in
the game. Gonzaga did not threat-
en after that.
The game featured a matchup of
sisters Joslyn Tinkle, a senior at
Stanford, and Elle Tinkle, a fresh-
man at Gonzaga. Their father is
Montana head coach Wayne
Tinkle, who wore a shirt with
Gonzford written on the front.
Its a special feeling for them to
watch their daughters out there
and at this level, Joslyn said. It
was extremely fun.
Joslyn Tinkle had 16 points and
eight rebounds. Elle finished with
two points and 3 rebounds.
Stanford is coming off an 87-38
win at UC Davis in which they
held the Aggies to 18 percent
shooting. Stanford improved to 5-
0 against Gonzaga.
Stanfords last loss was in the
semifinals of the NCAA tourna-
ment national semifinals to
Baylor.
Gonzagas only other loss this
season was to No. 7 Louisville.
This is the second time they have
played the No. 1 team in the
nation, losing at Tennessee in
2007.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Against the back-
drop of an unthinkable tragedy, the Kansas
City Chiefs gave themselves a reason to be
proud Sunday and perhaps the impetus to
let the healing begin.
Brady Quinn threw for 201 yards and two
touchdowns, and Jamaal Charles ran for 127
yards in the Chiefs 27-21 victory over their
Carolina Panthers. The win snapped an eight-
game losing streak during one of the most dif-
cult seasons the franchise has ever experi-
enced.
The win came just one day after Chiefs
linebacker Jovan Belcher shot his girlfriend
multiple times at a residence near Arrowhead
Stadium, then drove to the teams practice
facility and turned the gun on himself as gen-
eral manager Scott Pioli and coach Romeo
Crennel looked on.
Pioli walked through the press box before
the game and said he was doing OK, though
he didnt stop to talk. Crennel was on the side-
line coaching his team to an uplifting victory.
PATRIOTS 23, DOLPHINS 16
MIAMI Tom Brady had his least ef-
cient game of the year and even threw an
interception, but New England took advan-
tage of Miamis mistakes and clinched their
fourth consecutive AFC East title.
A botched punt, roughing-the-punter penal-
ty and fumble by Miami led to 17 New
England points, and another penalty negated a
Dolphins touchdown.
Brady nished 24 for 40 for 238 yards and
was sacked four times. But with the Patriots
nursing a 20-13 lead midway through the
fourth quarter, he led a 16-play drive that took
more than seven minutes and led to a eld
goal.
The Patriots (9-3) have won six games in a
row and are assured of their 12th consecutive
winning season. Miami (5-7) lost to New
England for the fth consecutive time.
TEXANS 24, TITANS 10
NASHVILLE, Tenn. The Houston
Texans clinched their second straight playoff
berth and set a franchise record for wins in a
season.
Rookie linebacker Whitney Mercilus recov-
ered a fumble and had two sacks, and the
Texans (11-1) remain tied with Atlanta for the
best record in the NFL with their sixth straight
win. After needing overtime the past two
games, the Texans forced six turnovers and
had six sacks of Jake Locker when they
werent batting down a handful of other pass-
es.
The Texans swept Tennessee (4-8), the team
they replaced in Houston, for only the second
time. Matt Schaub threw for 207 yards and
two touchdowns, and Arian Foster ran for a
TD.
BRONCOS 31, BUCCANEERS 23
DENVER Peyton Manning threw three
touchdowns, including one to defensive tack-
le Mitch Unrein, to help Denver wrap up the
AFC West.
The Broncos (9-3) won their seventh
straight and the Tampa Bay (6-6) loss
clinched the NFC South for Atlanta, which
won on Thursday.
Manning threw for 242 yards. He now has
29 touchdown passes on the season, moving
past Jake Plummer and John Elway for the
most by a Denver quarterback in a single year.
Manning threw two of the scores to
Demaryius Thomas, who nished with eight
catches for 99 yards.
Broncos linebacker Von Miller returned an
interception for his rst NFL score.
The Broncos held Tampa running back
Doug Martin to 56 yards on 18 carries.
SEAHAWKS 23, BEARS 17, OT
CHICAGO Russell Wilson connected
with Sidney Rice on a 13-yard touchdown
with 7:33 left in overtime to lift Seattle.
Unbeaten in five home games, the
Seahawks nally gured a way to win on the
road after dropping ve of their rst six, and
knocked off the NFC North leaders in the
process.
Seattle took a short-lived lead late in regu-
lation on Wilsons 14-yard pass to Golden
Tate, only to watch the Bears Robbie Gould
boot a 46-yard eld goal as time expired to
send it into OT.
The Seahawks (7-5) got their only other
road win at Carolina.
COLTS 35, LIONS 33
DETROIT Andrew Luck threw a 14-
yard touchdown pass to Donnie Avery with no
time left to lift Indianapolis.
With the nal seconds ticking away, the
rookie quarterback moved up in the pocket,
ipped a short pass to Avery, and the receiver
ran untouched into the end zone to complete a
rally that started with Lions up 12 points mid-
way through the fourth quarter.
The Colts (8-4) stayed in control of the
AFC wild-card race with the win. Detroit (4-
8) lost for the fourth straight time, including
three in a row at home after leading in the
nal quarter.
PACKERS 23, VIKINGS 14
GREEN BAY, Wis. James Starks had
Green Bays first rushing touchdown in
almost two months, Morgan Burnett picked
off Christian Ponder twice and the Packers
overcame a monster day by Adrian Peterson.
Peterson nished with 210 yards, the most
hes had since blowing out his ACL and MCL
last December. But the Vikings (6-6) clearly

last December. But the Vikings (6-
6) clearly felt the absence of Percy
Harvin, who missed his third
straight game with a sprained ankle.
Ponder didnt help matters with
his interceptions, one in the end
zone and the other around the Green
Bay 10. The Packers turned both
miscues into field goals, giving
them their 10th straight victory
against an NFC North opponent.
The win also keeps the Packers
hopes for the (8-4) division title
alive.
STEELERS 23, RAVENS 20
BALTIMORE Shaun Suisham
kicked a 42-yard eld goal as time
expired.
Playing without injured quarter-
back Ben Roethlisberger for a third
straight week, the Steelers turned to
the 37-year-old Batch for the second
game in a row. He went 25 for 36 for
276 yards, threw a touchdown and
moved the Steelers 61 yards before
Suishams game-winning kick.
Pittsburgh trailed 13-3 in the rst
half and 20-13 in the fourth quarter
before coming back.
Pittsburgh (7-5) snapped a two-
game losing streak and kept alive its
slim hopes of overtaking Baltimore
(9-3) in the AFC North. The teams
have split their games this season.
The Ravens could have clinched a
playoff berth with a victory. Instead,
Baltimore had its 15-game home
winning streak snapped and also
lost for the rst time in 13 games
against division foes.
BENGALS 20, CHARGERS 13
SAN DIEGO Andy Dalton
scrambled up the middle for a 6-
yard touchdown with 4:11 left for
the go-ahead score and Cincinnati
won its fourth straight game.
On second-and-goal, Dalton
pump-faked right and then ran up
the middle, dived for the end zone
and got the ball across.
The Bengals (7-5) remained tied
with Pittsburgh in the race for the
AFCs second wild-card berth.
The Chargers (4-8) lost their
fourth straight game and for the sev-
enth time in eight games, and
remain only mathematically alive in
the wild-card chase. Denver won the
AFC West with a 31-23 victory
against Tampa Bay.
JETS 7, CARDINALS 6
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
Third-stringer Greg McElroy
stepped in for a struggling Mark
Sanchez and led New York to its
only score.
With Tim Tebow inactive as he
heals from two broken ribs, coach
Rex Ryan pulled Sanchez for
McElroy as the crowd at MetLife
Stadium cheered wildly late in
the third quarter. McElroy led the
(5-7) Jets to their only points of the
day with an impressive drive, con-
necting with Jeff Cumberland on a
1-yard touchdown. That ended up
being the winning score.
Fans chanted Mc-El-roy!
throughout the rst three quarters as
Sanchez went 10 for 21 for 97 yards
and three interceptions.
The sagging Cardinals (4-8) have
their own troubles at quarterback.
Ryan Lindley was ineffective in his
second NFL start as Arizona lost its

Ryan Fitzpatrick directed five

Buffalo keep alive its slim playoff

Fitzpatrick threw two touchdown
passes and scored on a 1-yard
plunge in providing a spark to an

the game minus its top two
receivers.
Fred Jackson had 101 yards rush-
ing and C.J. Spiller scored on a 44-

I
t doesnt get timelier than this: how to
help your pet pose with Santa. Wish
there were similar tips for kids. We tried
once, with a shopping mall Santa, and paid
$20 for the classic screaming kid pose.
Fortunately, the tips below will help if you
plan to get your pet on Santas lap for an
adorable holiday keepsake. First, make sure
your pet is currently on vaccinations, includ-
ing rabies. We cant have Santa going down
this year. Just before your photo sitting, take
your companion on a long walk or a game of
fetch to get him or her tired. A pre-sitting
potty break would be ideal, too. A dog who
poops or pees on Santa makes the naughty-
for-life list. Bring your pets favorite treat or
toy to your photo session. They can be used
as lure to get them to pose or a reward for
model posing. Before you plop your pet on
Santas lap, let him explore at ground level
with his nose. Since new surroundings can
cause fear or anxiety, exploration can help
your pet get comfortable. I dont know what
you have going on in your home, but Im
guessing a guy in a big red suit and hat with
black boots will be an unusual sight for most
pets. You might want to be in the photo with
your pet. Most Santas have room for both of
you on their lap. Finally, after the photos
been taken, give your superstar model a
reward. PHS/SPCA is offering two opportu-
nities for your pet to pose with Santa. Today
(Monday Dec. 3), from 3 p.m.-7 p.m., and
Saturday Dec. 8, from noon-4 p.m., Santa
will be situated on his throne just inside our
Center for Compassion main entrance at
1450 Rollins Road in Burlingame. Just $10
per sitting. Pet owners must bring their own
camera; our elves will gladly take the photo
if you want to join your pet.
Scott oversees PHS/SPCAs Adoption,
Behavior and Training, Education, Outreach,
Field Services, Cruelty Investigation,
Volunteer and Media/PR program areas and
staff from the new Tom and Annette Lantos

LOS ANGELES The Twilight nale
and Skyfall continued to dominate the box
ofce on a typically slow post-Thanksgiving
weekend that brought big business for
holdover lms but a poor start for Brad Pitts
new crime story.
Sunday studio estimates put The Twilight
Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 out front for
the third-straight weekend with $17.4 million
domestically.
That raised the domestic total to $254.6
million for the vampire tale released by
Lionsgate banner Summit Entertainment. The
movie added $48.4 million overseas for an
international haul of $447.8 million and a
worldwide sum of $702.4 million, approach-
ing the franchise record of $710 million for
last years Breaking Dawn Part 2.
Sonys James Bond adventure Skyfall
was a fraction behind with $17 million
domestically, raising revenue to $246 million
after four weekends.
Skyfall also brought in $34 million over-
seas to put its international take at $623 mil-
lion and the worldwide total at $869 million,
the best cash haul ever for a Bond ick.
Pitts Killing Them Softly, the weekends
top new release, tanked with just $7 million
domestically, coming in at No. 7 behind a big
batch of holdovers.
The Twilight nale and Skyfall were
close enough that domestic rankings could ip-
op when nal numbers are released Monday.
Either way, the two movies have led a brisk start
to the holiday season that could lift Hollywood
to record domestic revenues for the year.
I keep upping my revenue estimates for the
full end-of-year box ofce because its just
been a lot stronger than anticipated lately,
said Paul Dergarabedian, analyst for box-
ofce tracker Hollywood.com.
With domestic business totaling $9.9 billion
so far in 2012, receipts are running 6 percent
ahead of last years and are on track to top the
record of $10.6 billion set in 2009, according
to Hollywood.com.
After record revenue over Thanksgiving,
business eased off, though it still was a
stronger-than-usual post-holiday weekend.
Domestic revenues totaled $115 million, up
42 percent from the same weekend last year,
when Breaking Dawn Part 1 led with
$16.5 million.
A Weinstein Co. release, Killing Them
Softly averaged just $2,888 in 2,424 theaters,
meager results compared to the Twilight
nales average of $4,344 in 4,008 cinemas
over its third weekend.
Adapted from George V. Higgins novel
Cogans Trade, Killing Them Softly stars
Pitt as a gang enforcer on the trail of two
small-time crooks who held up a mob-pro-
tected card game.

Upon further review, giant
sequoia tops a neighbor
FRESNO Deep in the Sierra Nevada, the famous General
Grant giant sequoia tree is suffering its loss of stature in
silence. What once was the worlds No. 2 biggest tree has been
supplanted thanks to the most comprehensive measurements
taken of the largest living things on Earth.
The new No. 2 is The President, a 54,000-cubic-foot gargan-
tuan not far from the Grant in Sequoia National Park. After
3,240 years, the giant sequoia still is growing wider at a con-
sistent rate, which may be what most surprised the scientists
examining how the sequoias and coastal redwoods will be
affected by climate change and whether these trees have a role
to play in combatting it.
I consider it to be the greatest tree in all of the mountains of
the world, said Stephen Sillett, a redwood researcher whose
team from Humboldt State University is seeking to mathemat-
ically assess the potential of Californias iconic trees to absorb
planet-warming carbon dioxide.

16, she eloped with a Lt. Thomas James and
separated ve years later in Calcutta. After
this, she made her professional debut in
London under the name of Lola Montez.
After much scandal and many romances,
she moved to Paris but was unsuccessful as
a dancer. The Bohemian society of Paris
accepted her as one of her own but, after the
death of her lover, newspaperman
Alexandre Dujarier, she moved to Munich
where she was discovered by, and became
the mistress of, Ludwig I of Bavaria. She
became the countess of Landsfeld from
which she received a large annuity. With the
abduction of Ludwig in 1848 she fled
Bavaria and eventually arrived in the United
States and, after adjusting her careers
direction by doing her famous erotic spider
dance in Australia in 1855, she became the
rage to see. The erotic spider dance marked
her for life as being utterly subversive to
all ideas of public morality.
After an appearance in San Francisco she
married a newspaperman, Patrick Hall, and
retired to Grass Valley where she discov-
ered a red-haired, black-eyed girl with an
impressive laugh, Lotta Crabtree. Lotta
became a sensation after performing in
numerous miner camps. The public loved
her and her mother edged her on in this
career. She learned jigs, flings, wild polkas
and a whole range of soft shoe dancing as
well as songs accompanied by a banjo. She
liked wearing mens clothes and smoking
cigars and soon became the richest per-
former in America.
While performing in San Francisco, she
presented the city with a cast iron fountain
on Sept. 9, 1875. It is located off of Market
Street, where Geary and Kearny streets con-
nect. During the devastation of the 1906
earthquake, the site became a meeting place
for survivors of the city and it is now a San
Francisco Landmark, #73. Each year, at
5:12 a.m. April 18, the survivors of the
1906 earthquake meet to commemorate the
event.

While there is most likely a reasonable

unacceptable in serving the residents of San

I am fully in support of a transparent

ROLE
nd a site for a homeless shelter. Nevin told
opponents these are poor people and they
deserve a place out of the cold, Horsley recalled.
Nevin also served numerous boards and com-
missions during his political career including the
Criminal Justice Council of San Mateo County,
the Narcotics Task Force, the Bay Area Air
Quality Management District and the San
Mateo County Health Center Board of
Directors.
After being termed out following 12 years
with the Board of Supervisors, Nevin took the
helm of the nonprot Service League of San
Mateo County, which provides services to
county jail inmates.
Mike Nevin had public service in his blood
and the people he represented are better for it,
said U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Atherton, in a
prepared statement.
Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo
Park, who served with Nevin on the Board
of Supervisors, said he dedicated his life to
public service.
Whether as a beat cop in San Francisco,
an inspector for the SFPD, a two-time
mayor of the Daly City, a 12-year member
of the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors, or as the executive director of
the Service League; Mike focused squarely
on the needs of our most vulnerable resi-
dents, Gordon said in a prepared statement.
His legacy in San Mateo County was long-
ago cemented in his many years as leader in
transportation issues, as well as a passionate
advocate for the physically challenged. His
faith and his family always guided him, and as
his colleague for many years, I appreciated
his energy and valued his commitment. My
sympathies go out to his wife, Kathy, and
their three children.
Jerry Hill, who will be sworn into the state
Senate today, also expressed his sadness at
Nevins death. Hill also served with Nevin on
the Board of Supervisors.
As Mike Nevin would light up a room
when he entered, the glow of San Mateo
County was dimmed with his passing. With a
heart for everyone, he fought injustice and
brought comfort, solace and support to those
in need. He was an irreplaceable gifted leader
who will be profoundly missed, Hill said.
Horsley similar recalled Nevins gift as an
orator, often called on to serve as master of
ceremony for nonprots because of his wit,
energy and stage presence.
He was the most charismatic politician
that this county has produced, Horsley said.
In 2002, Nevin considered a run for the
California Assembly but was ineligible after
redistricting removed his Daly City house
from the 19th Districts borders. He opted not
to run rather than move. He later ran unsuc-
cessfully for the District 8 state Senate vacat-
ed by now-U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier but failed to
secure the Democratic primary. Current state
Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo,
won the election.
Speier recalled Nevin as a giant in county
politics with unbridled passion, boundless com-
passion and inexhaustible love for those in need.
Mike had a huge heart and he was proud to
show his emotions. How often do you hear
someone from law enforcement appeal for
understanding on behalf of ex-offenders?
Literally with tears in his eyes, Mike would do
so. He was wise. He was iconoclastic. He was a
leader by example. I loved him and admired him
greatly, Speier said.
In 2004, the North County Health Center was
renamed the Mike Nevin Health Center. The
clinic joined Mike Nevin Way in Daly City.
Funeral arrangements are pending.

VENTURA A U.S. Coast Guard mem-
ber was killed and another was injured when
their small boat was rammed by a smugglers
vessel before dawn Sunday off the Southern
California coast.
Terrell Horne III of Redondo Beach was
pronounced dead after being brought ashore at
the Port of Hueneme (why-NEEM-mee), said
Ventura County chief deputy medical examin-
er James Baroni. He suffered a traumatic head
injury, Coast Guard ofcials said.
The second man was treated for minor injuries.
The smugglers panga, which was running with-
out lights, moved at a high rate of speed directly
at the small boat before eeing.
Both Coast Guard members were thrown into
the water.
Another Coast Guard vessel stopped the
eeing panga, and detained two suspects.
Our fallen shipmate stood the watch on the
front lines protecting our nation, and we are
all indebted to him for his service and sacri-
ce, said Admiral Robert J. Papp, Coast
Guard Commandant.

there would perhaps be more stable
opportunities for work if he wasnt
going for the lead in every production.
So far, thats been a productive outlook
for the young San Mateo native who is
performing in the 42nd Street Moon pro-
duction of Pal Joey in San Francisco
through Dec. 16. Based on the short sto-
ries and book by John OHara, Pal
Joey follows a young night club per-
former who sets out to make the dream
of owning a club come true.
I love this show. I love this kind of
style; very jazzy, very fun. Its beautiful,
beautiful, beautiful music, Visini said,
pointing out the happy, upbeat tunes are
juxtaposed against a relatively dark
story.
Joeys character isnt a typical, lovable
musical lead. Instead hes unlikeable.
For Visini, its another chance to play
a bunch of roles as part of the ensemble,
dance often and have fun. Those are the
things he likes about musical theater
anyway.
Visini was introduced to theater at an
early age since his parents were both
into it. His rst professional gig came at
16 with an ensemble role in Singin in
the Rain.
He grew up taking dance lessons,
which were furthered by taking classes
at San Mateo High. While a teen, he
took advantage of a work study program
at the San Carlos Dance Arts Center. As
a result, Visini took hours and hours of
jazz and tap classes.
When he graduated high school in
2010, Visini was unsure if he wanted to
pursue dancing or musical theater. He
was able to take part in two different
prestigious tap programs, including the
Jacobs Pillow Tap Program last summer
in Massachusetts under the direction of
Dianne Walker. The two-week intensive
program was amazing but it made Visini
realize he missed singing.
I really missed the musical aspect. I
did a show when I came back and real-
ized, I think I need to do all of it, said
Visini.
Now hes taking classes at Foothill
College and looking at various musical
theater programs to which he could
transfer. In the meantime, Visini contin-
ues to choreograph and teach when he
can around the Bay. And, of course, he
loves performing. Even when not on
stage, Visini is often choreographing his
own tap numbers.
Pal Joey shows are held through
Sunday, Dec. 16 at the Eureka Theatre,
215 Jackson St., San Francisco. Shows
are 7 p.m. Wednesdays, 8 p.m. Thursdays
and Fridays, 6 p.m. Saturdays and 3 p.m.
Sundays. Tickets are $25 to $75. For

LOVE
contaminate are exempt as are nonprof-
its like Goodwill. Restaurants can still
send food in to-go bags as public health
ofcials havent yet ruled out the possi-
bility of reusable bags leading to cross-
contamination.
More than 20 billion bags are used in
California annually more than 500
bags per person per year in the county
and less than 8 percent are recycled,
Dean Peterson, the countys director of
environmental health, told the Board of
Supervisors in October when it consid-
ered the ban and an environmental
impact report of a prohibition.
Twenty-four cities in San Mateo and
Santa Clara counties participated in the
EIR process but each city council that
hasnt already done so much adopt its
own ban. Joining San Carlos were
Belmont, Brisbane, Burlingame, Colma,
Daly City, East Palo Alto, Foster City,
Half Moon Bay, Menlo Park, Millbrae,
Pacica, Portola Valley, Redwood City,
San Bruno, San Mateo, South San
Francisco, Woodside, Milpitas,
Cupertino, Los Gatos, Campbell and
Mountain View.
Belmont and Pacica just passed their
ordinances last week.
To help acclimate residents and busi-
nesses to the bans, the county is spear-
heading outreach efforts and plan to give
away reusable bags.
A copy of the entire model ordinance
is available at www.smchealth.org/bag-
ban.

BAGS
Ira said his goal is to knuckle down on
what they want the JPA to do for its mem-
bers and evaluate unnecessary duplication.
If you dont rein in any government
agency it can become a monster, Ira said.
The task force will also likely look at the
current board of directors structure. The idea
of switching to elected officials instead rises
periodically and Ira, although not a fan of
switching, said the question will be
addressed again rather than hang unan-
swered.
Any change requires a super majority of at
least eight member agencies to be on board.
Earlier this year, the SBWMA asked the
members to let it know if they were interest-
ed and, if so, it would examine the gover-
nance. But Redwood City Manager Bob Bell
said it would be awkward to ask the
SBWMA to take an objective look at itself.
Its almost like asking Congress to unseat
themselves, he said.
Bell sees the task force as a way to possi-
bly make the SBWMA more efficient and
effective similar to how Redwood City
streamlined its budget and organization. He
doesnt think Redwood City officials have
any preconceived notions of what a task
force would conclude about the SBWMA
but said the request is a confluence of the
citys own efforts and informal talk among
the agencies to consider changing how the
waste agency operates.
Jerry Hill, who will be sworn in as state
senator today, led a push with Assemblyman
Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, when both
were county supervisors to change the
SBWMA board to elected officials but the
idea never came to fruition. Hill said he is
happy to see the possibility still has traction
but finds it ironic Redwood City is leading
the charge since he said the city was the
most resistant to his proposal.
The arguments made at the time were
that they were dealing with complex issues
that required a public works director or
someone with that expertise and the other
argument was that decisions like billion-dol-
lar contracts should be left to an apolitical
body. Both of those are bogus, Hill said.
Hill, and others who support a board of
elected officials, say they bring a different
skill set and level of responsibility.
San Carlos Assistant City Manager Brian
Moura, who sits on the SBWMA board, said
other ideas in years past
include having two boards
one of staff and anoth-
er of supervisors oversee-
ing budget and hiring
and having a mix of staff
and officials on one
board.
Hill isnt a fan of the
last option.
He pointed to the San
Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control
District as an example of a body involving
both appointed staff and officials. The dis-
trict lost more than a half-million dollars due
to the alleged embezzlement of two former
finance workers.
My sense is its exactly the same there as
with the SBWMA, Hill said.
Moura said the SBWMA received a letter
from eh Redwood City Utilities Committee,
the body proposing the task force, asking
that it trim its budget to help with rates.
And there have clearly been cuts but we
need to hear from them what else is desired,
Moura said.
Bell said while staffing did lose a position
a layoff that led to retaliation claims
against the executive director by the employ-
ee the full-time equivalent counts have
actually increased a bit.
So we think thats something else that we
might want to take a look at, Bell said.
The SBWMAs budget for fiscal year 2012
included more than $40 million in revenue
and operating expenses of $36.5 million.
The program budget of $3.5 million includes
the cost of 7.8 employees along with other
administrative, recycling diversion program
and contract compliance expenses.
The draft letter up for discussion Monday
night by the Redwood City Council asks
each member agency if it cares to participate
and, if so, to appoint an elected official to
serve. Answers are requested by the first
week in February and Bell anticipates, if the
idea goes ahead, the process will take at
least the better part of next year. Once the
analysis is done, any recommendations can
come back to the full SBWMA board to
gauge if enough support exists for imple-
mentation.
The Redwood City Council meets 7 p.m.
Monday, Dec. 3 at City Hall, 1017
Middlefield Road, Redwood City.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2012
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)With the
tremendous optimism you espouse, you should
have little trouble awakening enthusiasm in others.
Whatever it is youre doing, theyll want to be part
of it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Although you may
not think you require any assistance from others,
they might end up helping you get what you want.
Upon refection, youll realize how badly you needed
help.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)Most any group
could beneft from your presence. Youll be a great
catalyst, knowing exactly what needs doing and how
to effectively go about doing it.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)A special target that
youve been striving for could turn out to be much
bigger than you initially thought. Once achieved, it
will have many far-reaching effects.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)A friend who has been
quite fortunate for you once before might be so for
you again. Stick close to him or her, because this
person is likely to be quite helpful.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)This could be one of
those wonderful days when everything you touch
generates additional income. Pay special attention
to a side endeavor and/or second project.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)Lady Luck is likely
to be involved in many of your endeavors, but
she will probably shine most on a partnership
arrangement.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)Focus your efforts
on making as much money as you can. If you do,
its likely that you will fnd a way to increase your
earnings through a one-time source.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Working in close tandem
with others will prove to be quite lucky for you.
However, the results will be even more impressive if
you call the shots instead of letting another do so.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)This can be an
especially rewarding day, mostly because youll be
able to successfully weld your inner desires to your
external capabilities. Something great will come of it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)Something extraordinary
could occur, which would put you in an extremely
happy frame of mind. Whatever it is, it will be the
type of event that will be worth celebrating.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)Instead of diminishing
or modifying your hopes and expectations, try to
elevate them to new heights. You are far luckier than
you may realize, so think and act big.
