San Carlos Mayor Matt Grocott
will remain in the position through
mid-March before handing the
gavel over to Vice Mayor Bob
Grassilli as part of a split council
rotation unanimously adopted as a
way to soften the ripple effect of the
last mayor step-
ping down unex-
pectedly mid-
term.
The unusual
reorganization
plan lets Grocott
and Grassilli
each have an
equal number of
months as
mayor rather
than extending
the first mans
past a year or
potentially rob-
bing the latter
from the chance
to serve before
the end of his
tenure. Both mens terms end in
December 2013 and, as Grocott
pointed out at the meeting, no one
knows whether they will run again
or even win.
Both Bob and I were trumped by
circumstances, Grocott said.
Grocott, who is in his third term
on the council, became mayor per-
manently again in June after former
mayor Andy Klein unexpectedly
resigned for personal reasons.
Grassilli stepped up as vice mayor
and both were technically eligible to
be mayor based on the same elec-
tion cycle.
But the San Carlos city code
states the mayor serves at the will of
Third-term councilman remains mayor for now
San Carlos vice mayor will take over in March for split-year term

WASHINGTON Republicans
newfound willingness to consider
tax increases to avert the scal
cliff comes with a significant
caveat: larger cuts than Democrats
seem willing to consider to benet
programs like Medicare, Medicaid
and the presidents health care over-
haul.
The disconnect on benet pro-
grams, coupled with an impasse
between Republicans and the White
House over raising tax rates on
upper-bracket earners, paints a
bleak picture as the clock ticks
toward a year-end scal debacle of
a u t o m a t i c

increases and
harsh cuts to
the Pentagon
and domestic
programs.
Democrats
embol dened
by the election
are moving in

on curbing spending, refusing to

Pacica students have been served
food that had expired or wasnt
properly stored, according to a law-
suit from an 18-year employee who
further claims he was retaliated
against after raising concerns.
In 2011, Joseph McCarthy, a
delivery driver for the Pacifica
School District, raised concerns
about storing food in areas infested
with rodents, serving students pasta
and turkey years past the expiration
date, offering children juice that was
left unrefrigerated and incorrectly
heating and cooling food, according
to a 27-page lawsuit led Nov. 21.

Students and staff at Woodside
High School were mourning yester-
day the loss of a freshman who was
killed Monday morning as she rode
her bicycle in Redwood City.
Leyla Beban, 14, was on her way
to school when she was hit by an
SUV at Jefferson Avenue and
Alameda de las Pulgas at about 8:30
a.m., according to Redwood City
police.
Police said Leyla and the driver of
the SUV were both turning right
onto Alameda de las Pulgas from
e a s t b o u n d
J e f f e r s o n
Avenue at the
time, but that the
circumstances of
the accident
remain under
investigation.
Leyla was
taken to
S t a n f o r d
Hospital, where she succumbed to
her injuries, police said.
Woodside High School Principal
Diane Burbank said Tuesday morn-
ing that one of Leylas teachers
described the teen as open-minded,
intellectually curious, considerate
and competent yet humble.
She embodied many of the qual-
ities we value in all our students,
Burbank said.
Freshman class president Bianca
Gabriel Tuesday morning led the
school in a moment of silence in
Leylas honor, Burbank said.
Leyla, a Redwood City resident,
attended middle school and elemen-

Pearls are formed inside oysters. The
formation of a natural pearl begins when
a foreign substance slips into the oyster
shell. The irritant is covered with layers
of nacre, which is the substance that is
used to create the shell. This is what
forms a pearl.
***
There is a simple test you can do to see
if a pearl is real or fake. Rub the pearl
gently against your teeth. A natural pearl
will feel slightly rough, like ne sandpa-
per, because of the texture of natural
nacre. An imitation pearl will feel
smooth.

After running a year-round farmers
market the past seven months, the
Harbor Village Merchant Association
has passed the baton to a new vendor,
West Coast Farmers Market, in hopes of
raising more revenue for the property
owner.
The Land and Sea Farmers Market
started operating on Sundays in April at
the Shoppes at Harbor Village in
Princeton, just north of Half Moon Bay,
and was run by the merchants who
charged vendors $25 a week to set up
tents in the propertys parking lot.
Those fees will be higher now, howev-
er, as West Coast Farmers Market will
run the market on a trial basis until the
end of December, said David Seaton,
who used to manage the Harbor Village
property. His brother, Michael, is the
current president of the merchant associ-
ation.
West Coast will charge vendors $55
or more for tent space, Seaton said.
The merchants, however, may want to
take back control of the market in 2013.
The goal is to keep it running year
round. Well see if he can deliver on his
promises, Seaton said about Jerry
Lami, the executive director of the West
Coast Farmers Market Association.
Lamis crew currently runs markets in
Cupertino, Brisbane, Foster City,
Redwood Shores and now on the coast.
On behalf of the Harbor Village
Merchant Association, we would like to
thank everyone for participating with us
for the past seven months. We believe
we are building a sustainable farmers
market that will thrive for many years.
So, thank you again for being patient,
understanding and most of all exible
with a new growing market, the associ-
ation said in an email to its vendors
Friday.
In the email, the association states it
hopes West Coast will only operate the
market on a temporary basis.
We are working out restructuring the
format of the association and working
out details of the land lease, according
to the email.
Some vendors who paid in advance to
operate at the market will be given
refunds and the advanced payments will
be honored by West Coast, according to
the email.
The market has featured organic fruit
and vegetables, horticulture and owers,
arts, crafts and other artisans.
The West Coast Farmers Market
operates 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sundays at
the Shoppes at Harbor Village, 270
Capistrano Road, Princeton. To locate
their other markets visit http://west-
coastfarmersmarkets.org.

Former Belmont spouses who own
Hallmark Roong will each spend eight
months in a sheriffs work program and
under house arrest for failing to pay
more than $600,000 in workers com-
pensation insurance premiums over a
ve-year period.
John Robert Applegate Jr., 49, and
Camile Kathryn Applegate, 50, each
pleaded no contest in July to eight counts
of workers compensation premium fraud
and two counts of tax evasion. Prosecutors
sought seven years in prison but the court
capped the maximum at three years. On
Tuesday, a month after the two gave the
District Attorneys Ofce two $100,000
checks toward restitu-
tion, Judge Mark
Forcum imposed the
lesser term followed
by ve years proba-
tion.
The Applegates
must also pay back
the remainder owed.
The Applegates,
who divorced but
remain in business together, were arrested
in April after an investigation by local
prosecutors and the California Department
of Insurance reportedly showed their fail-
ure to accurately report employee wages
between 2007 and 2011. They avoided
paying approximately $630,000 and did
not le tax returns in
2010 and 2011,
according to authori-
ties.
According to a
statement issued by
the Department of
Insurance at the time,
the workers compen-
sation fraud and pay-
roll tax evasion gave
them an unfair busi-
ness advantage when bidding for job proj-
ects because they did not pay hundreds of
thousands of dollars in premiums.
Both Applegates are free from custody
on $50,000 bail and must surrender to
begin their sentences in January.
Teen injured in
morning shooting
Police in East Palo Alto are investigat-
ing a shooting that left a young man
wounded late Tuesday morning the
fourth injury shooting reported in the
city in the past week.
The incident was initially reported as
an assault in the area of Bay Road and
Palo Verde Avenue at about 11:30 a.m.,
police said.
As ofcers were being dispatched to
the scene, an ofcer on patrol in the
neighborhood was flagged down by
someone who led the ofcer to a 19-
year-old man who had been shot,
according to police.
The victim was taken to a hospital for
treatment.
Witnesses told investigators that a
male suspect had approached the victim,
shot him, then ed on foot. No arrests
have been made in the case.
Investigators have not said whether
they believe the incident was related to
three other shootings that have occurred
in East Palo Alto since last Wednesday.

The Daly City woman who reportedly
poured boiling water over her sleeping ex-
husband because she allegedly thought he
was unfaithful will stand trial in late
January on charges of murder and torture
stemming from the mans death two
weeks later.
Jesusa Ursonal Tatad, 40, is also
charged with assault with a deadly
weapon, aggravated mayhem and domes-
tic violence. She has pleaded not guilty to
all charges and at a court hearing yester-
day upheld a Jan. 28
jury trial date.
Tatad and her hus-
band Ronie, 36, were
divorced but living

boiled a pot of water
which she poured on his face and upper
body. The sleeping man reportedly awoke
in intense pain and tried running to the
bathroom for safety. Jesusa Tatad, who
prosecutors say was waiting for him,
reportedly struck him in the head with a
baseball bat. The man managed to ee the
second-story apartment on Coronado
Avenue and found a security guard who
called police.
Ronie Tatad was treated for second- and
third-degree burns on more than 60 per-
cent of his face and body but died Dec. 9.
Jesusa Tatad has reportedly denied hit-
ting him with the bat.
She is in custody without bail.

Car torcher
sentenced
One of two men who torched two parked cars
in Redwood City over an apparent dispute with
one vehicles owner was
sentenced yesterday to a
year in county jail followed
by three years of probation.
Prosecutors asked that
Raul Gomez receive 16
months in prison for felony
arson but instead he
received the same term as
co-defendant Moris A.
Pena who was sentenced
last week. He also received
credit of 312 days for time earned while in cus-
tody on $100,000 bail.
Redwood City police arrested the men June
26 after responding to reports of a vehicle re at
210 Linden St. Two vehicles were found on re,
one parked on the street in front of that location
and a second vehicle parked on the property and
next to a carport. Both vehicles were destroyed.
A third car was also damaged because of its
proximity.
Ofcers checking nearby gas stations for sur-
veillance footage found a witness who recalled
selling gas to a man with a can. They located
Pena, the man in the video, walking nearby and
arrested him. Further investigation led to
Gomez. Prosecutors say Gomez and Pena had

WASHINGTON U.N. Ambassador Susan
Rice told lawmakers Tuesday that her initial
explanation of the deadly
Sept. 11 raid in Libya was
wrong, but her concession
failed to mollify three
Republican senators who
signaled they would try to
block her possible nomina-
tion to be secretary of state.
In a closed-door meeting
that Rice requested, the
ambassador answered
questions from Sens. John McCain, Lindsey
Graham and Kelly Ayotte about her much-
maligned explanations about the cause of the
attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in
Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris
Stevens and three other Americans. She was
joined by acting CIA Director Michael Morell.
The talking points provided by the intelli-
gence community, and the initial assessment
upon which they were based, were incorrect in
a key respect: There was no protest or demon-
stration in Benghazi, Rice said in a statement
after the meeting. While we certainly wish that
we had had perfect information just days after
the terrorist attack, as is often the case the intel-
ligence assessment has evolved.
Rices unusual visit to Capitol Hill typi-
cally only nominees meet privately with law-
makers reects the Obama administrations
campaign for the current front-runner to replace
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton
against some strenuous GOP opposition.
We are signicantly troubled by many of the
answers that we got and some that we didnt get
concerning evidence that was leading up to the
attack on the consulate, McCain told reporters
after emerging from the hour-plus session that
he described as candid.

Judge orders tobacco
companies to say they lied
WASHINGTON A federal judge on
Tuesday ordered tobacco companies to pub-
lish corrective statements that say they lied
about the dangers of smoking and that dis-
close smokings health effects, including the
death on average of 1,200 people a day.
U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler previ-
ously had said she wanted the industry to pay
for corrective statements in various types of
advertisements. But Tuesdays ruling is the
rst time shes laid out what the statements
will say.
Each corrective ad is to be prefaced by a
statement that a federal court has concluded
that the defendant tobacco companies delib-
erately deceived the American public about
the health effects of smoking. Among the
required statements are that smoking kills
more people than murder, AIDS, suicide,
drugs, car crashes and alcohol combined, and
that secondhand smoke kills over 3,000
Americans a year.
Suit targets locator
chips in Texas student IDs
AUSTIN, Texas To 15-year-old Andrea
Hernandez, the tracking microchip embedded
in her student ID card is a mark of the beast,
sacrilege to her Christian faith not to men-
tion how it pinpoints her location, even in the
school bathroom.
But to her budget-reeling San Antonio
school district, those chips carry a potential
$1.7 million in classroom funds.
Starting this fall, the fourth-largest school
district in Texas is experimenting with loca-
tor chips in student ID badges on two of its
campuses, allowing administrators to track
the whereabouts of 4,200 students with GPS-
like precision. Hernandezs refusal to partici-
pate isnt a twist on teenage rebellion, but has
launched a debate over privacy and religion
that has forged rare like-mindedness between
typically opposing groups.

SAN FRANCISCO Gov. Jerry Brown
and Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom voted Tuesday
against giving the new chancellor of the
University of California, Berkeley a $50,000
pay raise over what his predecessor earns,
saying salary increases for public ofcials are
inappropriate given the states bleak nancial
condition.
The two politicians said during a meeting of
the University of Californias governing board
that they fully supported the selection of
Columbia University Dean Nicholas Dirks as
Berkeleys 10th chancellor, and they joined
the rest of the board in approving his appoint-
ment.
But both said they could not endorse his
$486,800 base salary even though the bump in
pay is expected to be covered through private
donations. It passed without their backing
with an 11-3 vote.
I believe a $50,000 increase from the
incumbent even though the incumbent did
not get a pay increase for several years
does not t within the spirit of servant leader-
ship that I think will be required over the next
several years, Brown
said. We can all agree this
issue is much bigger than
anyones salary, but I want
to put my marker down.
The governor added that
he made a commitment to
voters who approved
Proposition 30, which
raises the statewide sales
tax and boosts income
taxes on the wealthy, that
he would spend the states
money wisely. The
University of California as
a whole needs to be
restructured as part of that
process, he said.
Dirks, Columbias exec-
utive vice president and
dean of the faculty for arts
and sciences, is set to
replace outgoing Berkeley
chancellor Robert Birgeneau on June 1.
Birgeneaus base salary is $436,800.
One other regent, Charlene Zettel, an
appointee of former Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger, joined Brown and Newsom
in voting for the appoint-
ment of Dirks but against
his compensation pack-
age, which also includes
an annual car allowance of
$8,916 and a house on the
Berkeley campus.
Several of the 11 regents
who endorsed Dirks
salary noted that the pay
raise would be funded by
private donations to UC Berkeleys founda-
tion, and that even with the $50,000 increase,
Dirks would be making less than his counter-
parts at most other major public universities.
On this particular compensation, I would
just point out that we are dealing with the No.
1 public university in the world, Regent
George Kieffer said. The compensation for
this chancellor is below that of all the major
universities in the country it competes with
and many of the universities it does not com-
pete with.
Meeting by teleconference, the regents also
approved the appointment of Jane Close
Conoley, dean of the UC Santa Barbara
Gevirtz Graduate School of Education, as act-
ing chancellor of UC Riverside.

SAN FRANCISCO Northern California
residents are bracing for gusty winds, rain and
snow at higher elevations, as a series of storms
gets set to touch down.
The rain and snow should begin falling
Wednesday and continue through Sunday,
according to the National Weather Service.
Wind gusts could reach as high as 70 mph in
coastal areas.
Theres an atmospheric river coming
directly toward the coast, National Weather
Service meteorologist Charles Bell said.
A ood watch has been issued for the
Sacramento Valley, where areas that were
burned in recent wildres are particularly vul-
nerable to mudslides.
There is also the potential for urban and
small stream ooding along the North Coast,
where meteorologists say some areas could
see as much as 12 inches of rain over the ve-
day period.
In eastern Butte and western Plumas coun-
ties, rainfall could exceed 20 inches, accord-
ing to the National Weather Service. The
Sierras could see as much as 2 feet of snow.

SAN FRANCISCO Four female service
members led a lawsuit Tuesday challenging
the Pentagons ban on women serving in com-
bat, hoping the move will add pressure to drop
the policy just as ofcials are gauging the
effect that lifting the prohibition will have on
morale.
The lawsuit, led in federal court in San
Francisco, is the second one this year over the
1994 rule that bars women from being
assigned to ground combat units, which are
smaller and considered more dangerous since
they are often in battle for longer periods.
The legal effort comes less than a year after
the ban on gays serving openly was lifted and
as officials are surveying Marines about
whether women would be a distraction in
ground combat units.
Im trying to get rid of the ban with a sharp
poke, said U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Jennifer
Hunt, who was among the plaintiffs in the lat-
est lawsuit and was injured in 2007 when her
Humvee ran over an improvised explosive
device in Iraq.
Hunt and the other three women said the
policy unfairly blocks them from promotions
and other advancements open to men in com-
bat. Three of the women are in the reserves. A
fourth, Marine Corp Lt. Colleen Farrell,
leaves active duty this week.
Women comprise 14 percent of the 1.4 mil-
lion active military personnel. The lawsuit
alleges that women are barred from 238,000
positions across the Armed Forces.
At a Washington, D.C., news conference,
Pentagon press secretary George Little said
the Defense Department was making strides in
allowing more women into combat. He said
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has opened
about 14,500 combat positions to women.
And he has directed the services to explore
the possibility of opening additional roles for
women in the military, Little said.

BEIJING The online version of
Chinas Communist Party newspaper
has hailed a report by The Onion naming
North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un as
the Sexiest Man Alive not realizing
it is satire.
The Peoples Daily on Tuesday ran a
55-page photo spread on its website in a
tribute to the round-faced leader, under
the headline North Koreas top leader
named The Onions Sexiest Man Alive
for 2012.
Quoting The Onions spoof report, the
Chinese newspaper wrote, With his
devastatingly handsome, round face, his
boyish charm, and
his strong, sturdy
frame, this
Py o n g y a n g - b r e d
heartthrob is every
womans dream
come true.
Blessed with an
air of power that
masks an unmistak-
able cute, cuddly
side, Kim made this newspapers editori-
al board swoon with his impeccable
fashion sense, chic short hairstyle, and,
of course, that famous smile, the
Peoples Daily cited The Onion as say-
ing.
The photos the Peoples Daily selected
include Kim on horseback squinting into
the light and Kim waving toward a mili-
tary parade. In other photos, he is wear-
ing sunglasses and smiling, or touring a
facility with his wife.
Peoples Daily could not immediately
be reached for comment. A man who
answered the phone at the newspapers
duty ofce said he did not know any-
thing about the report and requested
queries be directed to their newsroom on
Wednesday morning.
It is not the rst time a state-run
Chinese newspaper has fallen for a c-
tional report by the just-for-laughs The
Onion.

PARIS France announced Tuesday that it
plans to vote in favor of recognizing a
Palestinian state at the U.N. General
Assembly this week.
With the announcement, France becomes
the rst major European country to come out
in favor, dealing a setback to Israel. The tim-
ing of the announcement appears aimed at
swaying other European nations.
Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told par-
liament that France has long supported
Palestinian ambitions for statehood and will
respond Yes when the issue comes up for a
vote out of a concern for coherency.
The Palestinians say the assembly is likely
to vote Thursday on a resolution raising their
status at the U.N. from an observer to a non-
member observer state, a move they believe is
an important step toward a two-state solution
with Israel. A Palestinian state would still not
be a full General Assembly member, however.
Unlike the Security Council, there are no
vetoes in the General Assembly and the reso-
lution is virtually certain of approval. But
such a vote by France a permanent council
member could weigh on decisions in other
European capitals.
Europe is divided over the issue.
Switzerland will likely vote yes and
Germany is expected to vote no. Britains
position remains unclear.
Palestinians say they are doing this out of
frustration over the four-year deadlock in
peace efforts. They believe an endorsement of
their state will bolster their negotiating posi-
tion.
Israel strongly opposes the bid, accusing the
Palestinians of trying to bypass negotiations.
The resolution would endorse a Palestinian
state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east
Jerusalem, the territories captured by Israel in
the 1967 Mideast war. Israel opposes a pull-
back to the 1967 lines.
In Washington, State Department spokes-
woman Victoria Nuland said Frances deci-
sion wouldnt change the U.S. assessment of
the Palestinian action as a mistake.

Obituary
By Maggie Michael and Sarah El Deed
CAIRO The same chants used against
Hosni Mubarak were turned against his suc-
cessor Tuesday as more than 200,000 people
packed Egypts Tahrir Square in the biggest
challenge yet to Islamist President Mohammed
Morsi.
The massive, ag-waving throng protesting
Morsis assertion of near-absolute powers
rivaled some of the largest crowds that helped
drive Mubarak from ofce last year.
The people want to bring down the
regime! and erhal, erhal Arabic for
leave, leave rang out across the plaza, this
time directed at Egypts rst freely elected
president.
The protests were sparked by edicts Morsi
issued last week that effectively neutralize the
judiciary, the last branch of government he
does not control. But they turned into a broad-
er outpouring of anger against Morsi and his
Muslim Brotherhood, which opponents say
have used election victories to monopolize
power, squeeze out rivals and dictate a new,
Islamist constitution, while doing little to solve
Egypts mounting economic and security
woes.
Clashes broke out in several cities, with
Morsis opponents attacking Brotherhood
ofces, setting re to at least one. Protesters
and Brotherhood members pelted each other
with stones and rebombs in the Nile Delta
city of Mahalla el-Kobra,
leaving at least 100 people
injured.
Power has exposed the
Brotherhood. We discov-
ered their true face, said
Laila Salah, a housewife at
the Tahrir protest who said
she voted for Morsi in last
summers presidential
election. After Mubarak,
she said, Egyptians would
no longer accept being ruled by an autocrat.
Its like a wife whose husband was beating
her and then she divorces him and becomes
free, she said. If she remarries shell never
accept another day of abuse.
Gehad el-Haddad, a senior adviser to the
Brotherhood and its political party, said Morsi
would not back down on his edicts. We are
not rescinding the declaration, he told the
Associated Press.
That sets the stage for a drawn-out battle that
could throw the nation into greater turmoil.
Protest organizers have called for another mass
rally Friday. If the Brotherhood responds with
demonstrations of its own, as some of its lead-
ers have hinted, it would raise the prospect of
greater violence after a series of clashes
between the two camps in recent days.
A tweet by the Brotherhood warned that if
the opposition was able to bring out 200,000 to
300,000, they should brace for millions in
support of Morsi.
Egypt mass protests challenge Islamist president
By Bradley Klapper and Julie Pace
WASHINGTON The United States has
been here before, praising an Egyptian leader
for championing Israeli-Palestinian peace
efforts while expressing concern over his com-
mitment to democracy at home. But with
options limited, the Obama administration is
keeping its faith in President Mohammed
Morsi.
In a hectic week of Mideast unrest, Morsi
emerged as Americas key partner in working
toward peace between the Jewish state and the
Hamas leaders of the Gaza Strip, assuming a
leadership role left vacant since Egyptian
President Hosni Mubaraks ouster nearly two
years ago.
After winning U.S. and worldwide praise,
Morsi immediately cashed in on his new polit-
ical capital by seizing more power at home.
His actions are the latest reminder that
Washington cant be sure where its relationship
will stand with the Arab worlds most populous
country as it transitions from decades of secu-
lar autocracy. Its moving to a more democratic
government, but one that is less pro-American
than its predecessors. For now, the U.S. as it
did for years with Mubarak wants to sepa-
rate Morsis domestic political maneuvers from
his role as a Middle East mediator.
We believe rmly that this needs to be
resolved internally as part of a transition to
democracy, White House Press Secretary Jay
Carney said of Morsis new decrees, which
place him above any kind of oversight, includ-
ing that of the courts.
After dropping its allegiance to Mubarak in
February 2011, the United States had hoped to
create a new, more sustainable Egyptian
alliance, structured on the legitimacy of a truly
representative government.

Ethics are important
Editor,
According to a recent presentation at
the San Mateo County Council of
Cities, over the past year at least six
public agencies in San Mateo County
have suffered incidents of employee
fraud with losses from $40,000 to $2
million. These include traditional
embezzlement, misappropriation and
fraudulent nancial transactions. Just
down the freeway, there is the embar-
rassment of Santa Clara Countys
Board of Supervisors president who
has made headlines for aunting ethics
rules for years. Given these local situa-
tions, I am surprised to learn that on
Nov. 20, the San Mateo County Board
of Supervisors rejected a resolution
submitted by Dave Pine to enhance the
countys ethics reporting guidelines
guidelines that were recommended
years ago by the San Mateo Countys
Civil Grand Jury. I am looking forward
to learning why San Mateo Countys
elected ofcials appear to be eschewing
current best practices in favor of busi-
ness as usual.

Recession over
Editor,
Drawn by aggressive discounts and
earlier-than-ever opening hours, shop-
pers opened their wallets on Black
Friday weekend in record numbers and
handed retailers a promising start to the
holiday season. Merchants raked in an
estimated $59.1 billion in sales from
Thanksgiving Day through Sunday, up
from $52.4 billion a year earlier, as
millions ocked to stores and browsed
online, according to the National Retail
Federation. Spending per shopper
jumped 6 percent to $423.
The true purpose behind having a
holiday called Thanksgiving is being
totally obliterated by a tsunami of
greed. Meanwhile, more Americans
than ever are living in poverty this year
and very few people even seem to
notice. However, perhaps we should all
take time this week to remember the
tens of millions of Americans that are
going to be deeply suffering this win-
ter. They keep telling us that the reces-
sion is over, and yet poverty continues
to spread like an out of control plague.
But, for most Americans, life is still
relatively normal, and so the horrible
suffering going on out there doesnt
really affect them.

Global warming no longer
a concern to Foster City
Editor,
In response to my question at the
Nov. 13 meeting of the Audit
Committee of the City Council of
Foster City, Assistant City Manager
Steve Toler informed those present that
effective this year the city has discon-
tinued funding of a project to raise by
three feet the levies that protect Foster
City from the San Francisco Bay.
Mr. Toler described the change staff
introduced to the citys budget that
reduces the charge to the Foster Citys
General Fund budget by $600,000 per
year that is not explained in the pub-
lished budget. Interestingly, this reduc-
tion does not reduce our citys structur-
al decit of $1.6 million for the current
year. Mr. Toler informed the committee
that this project was planned for $5
million. For context, this reduction
should have reduced the annual struc-
tural decit by 37.5 percent each per
year.
The partner of the citys independent
auditor, VTD, observed that neither the
$5 million decision nor the $600,000
change to the citys budget require dis-
closure in the citys nancial state-
ments. For perspective, this $5 million
decision represents $416 for each of the
12,000 households in Foster City.
I wrote this letter not to defend glob-
al warning, but to encourage city staff
and the City Council to include more
disclosure in its nancial reporting to
us in the public.
Our Audit Committee meetings are
open to the public.

Letters to the editor
T
he holiday season is full of
choices. Do you travel? Or stay
close to home? Do you try to
get all your shopping done on one
painful day at the mall? Or do it piece-
meal throughout the weeks leading up
to the holiday? And what about doing
all your shopping online and have the
brown boxes delivered to your ofce
and hope nothing gets lost in transit?
All sound choices. And all up to you.
However, might we offer up an alterna-
tive? One which, dare we say, might
seem a bit old-fashioned?
The Peninsula enjoys a number of
downtowns and shopping districts
which offer up a variety of unique
shops, entertainment and dining
options. There is downtown Redwood
City with its movie theater and the
soon-to-be historic Fox Theatre mixed
amid a number of retail options. San
Carlos is home to dining both ne and
family-friendly along with a number of
retail options. Downtown San Mateo
has street after street of unique shops
mixed in with all sorts of dining
options and a movie theater. And dont
forget 25th Avenue, Hillsdale Shopping
Center and Bridgepointe. Burlingame
has both Burlingame Avenue and
Broadway with its mix of retail options.
South San Francisco, Millbrae, San
Bruno, Half Moon Bay and Menlo Park
also offer variety.
Make a day of it. Or a night. Explore
shops you normally would not enter
before or after dinner or before or after
a show. Consider a scouting mission to
make a list of where to go next time
and enjoy the process of exploring the
connes of our shopping areas and all
that they have to offer.
Heading to outlet malls may have
their appeal and shopping online is a
sure-re way to nd the best deal. But
there is a certain kind of aggravation
tied to such ventures and they certainly
lack the whole holiday shopping expe-
rience. Besides, every dollar you spend
locally stays local so there is more
money for city ofcials to pave your
streets or x that hole in the fence on
city property. Its a simple concept, and
one that was touted through Small
Business Saturday last weekend. But
why does it have to be one day? It can
be every day leading up to the holidays.
And by shopping locally, you are also
helping out your neighbors who run
these shops. People who have a vested
interest in your community and some-
times donate money to local causes. Its
not just a philanthropic concept, many
of these businesses offer wares you just
cant nd elsewhere and are run by
unique and interesting people. You can
nd that perfect gift to wrap, or maybe
even score a gift certicate for a service
close to home.
And it just might be fun for you and
your family. Now how is that for a
change of pace?

I was reading the San Francisco Chronicle on Nov. 17.
Front page news! First and most featured was the possible
demise of Twinkies! Hoorah! The startling news was that
we just may not ever see that
pathetic American icon,
Twinkies, plus Ho Hos, Sno
Balls, Ding Dongs, even
Wonder Bread (just about the
greatest examples of
phood, as Ive labeled such
concocted products).
Apparently, it was devastat-
ing to many. Theyre indus-
try-concocted products that
have no justication nutri-
tionally but the possibility of
their demise appeared to
many as a great catastrophe.
It hasnt seemed to register
that we all would have been better off if those contrived
products, because of their lack of nutrients, high sweetener
content, additives and preservatives, would have disap-
peared years ago. As one letter writer to this paper com-
mented, The recent rush to buy the remaining inventory is
astonishing to say the least.
If only we could hope that this will be the end of Hostess
products. But no doubt some opportunistic corporation, see-
ing the potential for prots will take over or maybe Hostess
will suddenly revive. At rst, it seemed that it might be a
threat by Hostess to get even with the employees who were
picketing, but now they have led for bankruptcy. The latest
in the news is that they will return under some other manu-
facturer. Say it isnt so!
Another news article that was on the front page told us
about a terrible tragedy. Chico State rethinks party life
after death. When will those alcohol-infused college initia-
tions and parties be exposed for what they are and be
banned at all colleges? Does anyone really think that most
18-year-old kids are ready to be left on their own in an
unsupervised living arrangement? The school has apparently
been requiring an alcohol education class, but you wonder if
any students take it seriously. Obviously, not seriously
enough to prevent their buddy from downing 21 shots on his
21st birthday.
Chico State has long been known as a party school. Why
havent college administrators and the parents taken such
orgies of drunkenness seriously enough to take steps to end
them? These are not just harmless teenage high jinks that
are some kind of rite of passage. Do they even know how
many of these kids are legally old enough to imbibe? Why
does someone have to die before serious action is consid-
ered?
Shouldnt college be a place where such outrageous prac-
tices (or traditions, if you prefer) are banned and appropri-
ate control and punishment carried out? Shouldnt we have
enough concern for our young people to refrain from turn-
ing them loose at age 18 or so to carry on in such irrespon-
sible ways? Why, for all these years, have parents and col-
lege administrators mostly been looking the other way?
They certainly are aware of the havoc that this can wreak.
As the author of the Chronicle article wrote, Hazing,
assaults, raucous parties and binge drinking are the most
serious issues. Academic failure and neighborhood com-
plaints are also on the list.
Every so often, something horrible and outrageous like
this comes up and attention is briey focused on the prob-
lem, but soon after the immediate crisis passes things seem
to be back to normal. Parents and administrators must
know that most young males, especially, think they are
invincible, have little thought of the future, and are just
focused on the thrill of the moment. Maybe parents could at
least demand that housemothers be installed again in college
living facilities. Maybe they could keep a bit of control over
such goings on and provide a stabilizing inuence. But I
guess Im hopelessly out of date.
Its not only the young mans death that is so appalling.
The harm done by the alcohol obsession of so many college
students often leads to a life of alcoholism and damage of
body organs that can cause illness at a later age. Consider
what happened to a young relative now deceased. He
enrolled at Chico State, took part in the initiation ritual and
the alcohol scenario thereafter and last year at the age of 33
succumbed to widely spread malignancies. Of course, there
are other things that may have contributed to the tumors,
also, but you cant help but wonder how much the excessive
drinking, especially at such a young age, had to do with it.
Why are we taking such risks with our precious young col-
lege students, supposedly the cream of the crop and our
hope for the future?
Sadly, it seems to boil down to another of Mr. Brilliants
maxims: Theres little in the world I can change, and, of
that, very little wants to be changed. Say it isnt so.

NEW YORK Stocks slumped on
Wall Street Tuesday after Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid said he was
frustrated by the lack of progress in
talks over the U.S. budget impasse in
Washington.
The Dow Jones industrial average
closed down 89.24 points to 12,878.13.
The Dow and other indexes had been
moving between small gains and losses
for most of the day, then turned lower
after Reids comments in the early
afternoon.
We have to get away from the happy
talk and start talking about specific
things, Reid told reporters in televised
comments.
The Standard & Poors 500 lost 7.35
points to 1,398.94 and the Nasdaq com-
posite index lost 8.99 points to
2,967.79.
Worries about the budget talks have
been hanging over the stock market for
weeks. Stocks slumped immediately
after the Nov. 6 election over concerns
that politicians would be unable to
reach a deal to trim the deficit before a
Jan. 1 deadline.
If that deadline isnt met, under cur-
rent law a series of sharp tax increases
and spending cuts will come into effect.
Economists have warned that the meas-
ures could push the economy back into
a recession. That deadline has come to
be known as the fiscal cliff.
The markets are getting whipped
around, rather sharply, on headlines,
said Sal Arnuk, co-founder at Themis
Trading. For example, Harry Reid
feeling were not making enough
progress on the fiscal cliff.
Last week stocks pared some of the
losses that followed the election.
President Barack Obama plans to make
a public case this week for his strategy
for dealing with the issue as he pres-
sures Republicans to allow tax increases
on the wealthy while extending tax cuts
for families earning $250,000 or less.
The S&P declined as much as 5 per-
cent in the weeks after voters returned a
divided government to power, with
President Barack Obama returning to
the White House and Republicans
retaining control of the House.
Earlier in the day, investors took little
comfort from the latest deal to deliver
financial aid to Greece and increases in
U.S. consumer confidence and orders
for machinery and equipment.

Big movers
WASHINGTON American con-
sumers are growing more confident
about the job market, companies are
ordering more equipment and home
prices are rising in most major cities.
The latest batch of government data
suggests that the economy is improving
just as the holiday shopping season
begins. The only threat is a package of
huge spending cuts and tax increases
that will kick in unless Congress strikes
a budget deal by years end.
Rising home values, more hiring and
lower gas prices pushed consumer con-
dence in November to the highest level
in nearly ve years. And steady con-
sumer spending appears to have encour-
aged businesses to invest more in
October after pulling back over the sum-
mer.
Those trends could boost economic
growth slightly in the nal three months
of the year. But the real payoff could
come early next year if the automatic
tax increases and spending cuts known
as the fiscal cliff can be averted.
Businesses that have postponed expan-
sion plans could move forward with
projects. That could lead to more hiring.
Right now, households dont seem to
be letting the scal threat control their
urge to spend, said Joel Naroff, presi-
dent of Naroff Economic Advisors. The
rst weekend of holiday sales was great,
vehicle sales are holding up and housing
is strong.
Economy gets lift from consumers
The Conference Boards consumer condence
index rose to 73.7 in November from 73.1 in
October.Both are the best readings since February
2008. The index is still below 90, the level that is
consistent with a healthy economy. It last reached
that point in December 2007,the rst month of the
Great Recession. But the index has increased from
the all-time low of 25.3 touched in February 2009.
The Standard & Poors/Case-Shiller 20-city index
of home prices rose 3 percent in September
compared with the same month last year. Prices
also gained 3.6 percent in the July-September
quarter compared with the same quarter in 2011.
Prices increased in 18 of 20 cities over the 12-month
period.
Companies ordered more industrial machinery
and other large equipment in October. Orders for
core capital goods,considered a proxy for business
investment, rose 1.7 percent in October, the
Commerce Department said. Thats the largest
increase since May and it follows sharp declines
over the summer.

Western lawmakers seek probe of refineries
WASHINGTON Six Democratic senators representing

Tuesday to investigate the role of oil reneries in gas spikes
that occurred in May and October even as crude oil prices
were declining. Gas prices jumped last month in California to
more than $5 a gallon. Analysts said a web of renery prob-
lems were to blame.
But the senators say a review of California renery emis-
sions data revealed inconsistencies between the time reneries
were actually producing petroleum products and when main-
tenance shutdowns were publicly reported. They said mislead-
ing reports of shutdowns could create a perceived shortage of
gasoline.

CCS and now NorCal,
Sacred Heart Prep is
DIV volleyball queen
GATORS ARE TWICE AS NICE
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
There is something to be said about the
desire of a collective group.
On a Tuesday night in Atherton, it was 14
volleyball players representing an entire
nation of Gators.
And with Sacred Heart Prep clinging to a 2-
1 set lead in the CIF Northern California
championship match against No. 3 Harbor
and game four at 24-22 in favor of the Gators,
there was one athlete in the SHP gym who
wanted the potential championship touch
more than anyone else.
Her name is Payton Smith. She wears jersey
number 12. And fortunately for the Gators, the
ball found her.
I wanted the ball so badly, Smith said.
And my coach said when I went in, nish
this for us. You got this.And that motivated to
hit that ball.
With one mighty swing of her right arm,
Smith got the kill that launches Sacred Heart
Prep to the 2012 CIF state nal and crowns
them the Northern California champion for
the eighth time in school history.
Our kids just wanted it, said SHP head
coach Damien Hardy of the four-set victory
over Harbor. Theyve been wanting it all
year. We made the adjustments that we had to
make and, I think we just wanted it. Thats a
great team over there, Im sure they came in
wanting it as well, but I guess we just wanted
it a little more.
This moment, I cant even describe it right
now, said SHPs Sonia Abuel-Saud. I had
this same moment my sophomore year but
this is a whole different team with a whole
different mindset. Weve been looking for-
ward to this match the whole season.
The Gators beat the same Harbor team for
the Central Coast Section Division IV title.
And just like that Saturday at Independence
High School in San Jose, SHP jumped out to
a two-set lead and had to withstand an
inspired charge by the Pirates. After dominat-
ing sets one and two 25-13 and 25-11, Harbor
took game three 25-23 before SHP won the
NorCal title 25-22 in set four.
We made a few adjustments, Hardy said
of having to face Harbor once again. We
watched some lm and saw where they scored
a lot of their points and we just made that
adjustment and it worked out for us. A couple
of times we missed our assignments, but for
the most part we stayed in our strategy and we
held them from points.
The rst two sets we came out with so
much re, so much energy, Abuel-Saud said.
We changed our defense a little bit. They
have great offensive players and it showed.
The third set they kind of got us. But we came
back and said were not going to lose our last
match in this gym as seniors.
The Gators certainly played that way to

Sacred Heart Preps Sonia Abuel-Saud leads the celebration after the Gators captured the 2012 CIF Northern California championship.
SANTA CLARA NaVorro Bowman had
to tell someone about his hefty new contract
before it became public. And there was pal
Patrick Willis rst thing Tuesday before they
began their morning workout.
He was excited as soon as I told him, when
I wasnt supposed to, Bowman said about
Willis, the godfather of Bowmans twin girls
born earlier this year. I couldnt keep it from
him. I think he has lot to do with this, helping
me out.
The 49ers inside linebacker pair of Bowman
and Willis will be lining up together on San
Franciscos talented defense well into the
future if all goes as planned.
On Tuesday, Bowman reached agreement on
a ve-year contract extension through the 2018
season a deal worth $45.25 million, with
$25.5 million in guaranteed money.
Any time you get a chance to get a deal
done and it sounds great and everybodys com-
fortable with it, why not? Bowman said. It
shows the trust the organization has in me.
With Bowmans new deal, it keeps one of
the best and most-feared linebacking tandems
in the NFL together for the long haul as
Willis is signed through 2016.
The 24-year-old Bowman, a third-round
draft pick in 2010 out of Penn State, has 100
tackles, two sacks and an interception this sea-
son as a second-year starter for the NFC West-
leading Niners (8-2-1). As a rookie, his 20 spe-
cial-teams tackles ranked third in the NFL.
He earned his rst Pro Bowl and All-Pro
spots last season.
Thats good, a young guy, a good guy, Pro
Bowl, All-Pro guy to be around here another
ve years, cornerback Carlos Rogers said.
In addition to Bowman and Willis, the
teams other two starting linebackers are
signed at least for the next three seasons
Ahmad Brooks through 2017 and Aldon Smith
through 2015.
We have a chance to do something really
special, with all four linebackers being here for
the next three years, Bowman said. We can
make a statement for ourselves and leave a
legacy for this defense.
Bowmans agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said he
began talking about a new deal with the 49ers
in the offseason but the sides were pretty far
apart at that stage.
Its a very special accomplishment. I take
my hat off to the Niners and to NaVorro,
Rosenhaus said. I think only the most proac-
tive teams get it done. I think this perhaps the
most talented team in the NFL. If you want to
keep all your good players, you have to get
deals done now. You cant let guys get to free
agency. You cant keep everybody.
Bowman has credited his rapid development
to the guidance he received from Hall of Fame
linebacker Mike Singletary, who was red as
San Franciscos head coach after a loss at St.
Louis in the second-to-last week of 2010.
NaVorro epitomizes what we look for in a
49er, 49ers general manager Trent Baalke
said in a statement. We are excited that the All
Pro tandem of Willis and Bowman will be
together in red and gold for years to come.
While Bowman has never been one to set
goals for statistics or accolades, anyone around
the 49ers will be quick to acknowledge how
much his improved play in 2011 meant to the
franchise in getting back to the playoffs after
an eight-year absence in coach Jim Harbaughs
rst year.
Bowman is a big reason San Francisco has
been so strong stopping the run the past two
years. The 49ers rank No. 2 in total defense
this week, fourth against the run.

SANTA CLARA The San Francisco
49ers lost running back Kendall Hunter and
wide receiver Kyle Williams to season-ending
injuries on the very same play during
Sundays win at New Orleans.
A pair of tough blows for the NFC West-
leading Niners (8-2-1) as they prepare for a
road game at St. Louis on Sunday three weeks
after a 24-24 tie with the Rams on Nov. 11 at
Candlestick Park.
That was a major hit, running back
Anthony Dixon said Tuesday. Kyle and
Kendall are both go-to guys in our offense.
They made a lot of plays for us this year, and
to see them go down on one play man,
thats crazy. We pride ourselves on being a
stacked team, on being deep, and weve just
got to show up this week.
Now, Dixon likely will take on a larger role
backing up Frank Gore and rookie second-
round draft pick LaMichael James is expected
to be active, along with top draft pick wide
receiver A.J. Jenkins.
An announcement on who will start Sunday
at quarterback is expected from coach Jim
Harbaugh on Wednesday. Colin Kaepernick
has won the last two games in his rst two
career NFL starts, while Alex Smith is now
fully healthy from a concussion sustained in
the rst half of the last meeting with the
Rams.
Weve got two good quarterbacks.
Whatever way coach decides to go, were
behind him, Gore said. Theyre both going
to play well. It dont matter.
Hunter was the second player in two days to
be lost for the year after Williams said
Monday his 2012 season had ended.
Two players that help our team, Gore said
of the losses. At the running back position,
weve got depth.
Hunter lost to

start the match. Set one was a com-
plete SHP hitting clinic. Sacred
Heart cruised, making one hitting
error the entire game and putting
Harbor away with runs of ve, four
and five to distance themselves
from the Pirates.s.
Game two was more of the same.
The Gators jumped all over Harbor
by riding the hot service hand of
libero Helen Gannon to a 12-1 lead.
The Pirates got as close as 18-9
before SHP reeled off seven of the
next nine points to close out Game
2.
But the Pirates finally settled
down in the third set and seized that
game. Hardy said his team knew
that charge was coming and it was a
matter of just weathering the storm.
We had to, he said. Thats a
great team over there. Theyre going
to come out mean and I told our
team no matter how good you think
you are, they dont think youre that
good, so theyre going to try and
come out and smack you in the face.
You have to stay out there and hang
with the punches and score points
when you can score them and hope
they make errors.
After Harbor took the game 25-
23, Sacred Heart truly showed its
desire in set four. The game was tied
at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 before SHP
nudged ahead. And from there, it
was a classic heavyweight bout. The
Pirates crept closer and closer after
being down by as many six points.
But every time they did, Abuel-
Saud, who nished with 21 kills,
was there to take the momentum
right back.
Im able to do that because I
know Damien, my entire team, they
all have faith in me, she said. I
couldnt do it without them the
passing, the setting, its all thanks to
the team.
Harbor pulled to within a pair a
couple of times, but a big Abuel-
Saud kill made it 24-21. And after a
time-out, SHP dialed up the hungri-
est Gator, Smith, whose kill found
the oor inside the white lines set-
ting off an SHP frenzy.
Theyre an amazing team and
they put up a great competition,
Smith said, but we want this more
than anything. We want this so bad.
Smith finished with 14 kills.
Victoria Garrick had 14 as well.
Cammie Merten nished with 54
assists. Gannon led the club with 23
digs.

NEW YORK Marvin Miller
was a labor economist who never
played a day of organized baseball.
He preferred
tennis. Yet he
transformed the
national pastime
as surely as
Babe Ruth,
J a c k i e
Robinson, tele-
vision and night
games.
Miller, the
union boss who
won free agency for baseball play-
ers in 1975, ushering in an era of
multimillion-dollar contracts and
athletes who switch teams at the
drop of a batting helmet, died
Tuesday at 95. He had been diag-
nosed with liver cancer in August.
I think hes the most important
baseball gure of the last 50 years,
former baseball Commissioner Fay
Vincent said. He changed not just
the sport but the business of the
sport permanently, and he truly
emancipated the baseball player
and in the process all professional
athletes. Prior to his time, they had
few rights. At the moment, they
control the games.
In his 16 1/2 years as executive
director of the Major League
Players Association, starting in
1966, Miller fought owners on
many fronts, not only achieving free
agency but making the word
strike stand for something other
than a pitched ball.
Over the years, his inuence was
widely acknowledged if not always
honored. Baseball fans argue over
whether he made the game fairer or
more nakedly mercenary, and the
Hall of Fame repeatedly rejected
him in what was attributed to linger-
ing resentment among team owners.
Players attending the unions
annual executive board meeting in
New York said their professional
lives are Millers legacy.
Anyone whos ever played mod-
ern professional sports owes a debt
of gratitude to Marvin Miller, Los
Angeles Dodgers pitcher Chris
Capuano said. He empowered us
as players. He gave us ownership of
the game we play. Anyone who
steps on a eld in any sport, they
have a voice because of him.
Major League Baseballs revenue
has grown from $50 million in 1967
to $7.5 billion this year. At his last
public speaking engagement, a dis-
cussion at New York University
School of Law in April marking the
40th anniversary of the rst baseball
strike, Miller said free agency and
resulting fan interest contributed to
the increase. And both management
and labor beneted, he said.
I never before saw such a win-
win situation in my life, where
everybody involved in Major
League Baseball, both sides of the
equation, still continue to set
records in terms of revenue and
prots and salaries and benets,
Miller said. He called it an amaz-
ing story.
Miller, who retired in 1982, led
the rst walkout in the games histo-
ry 10 years earlier, a ght over pen-
sion benets. On April 5, 1972,
signs posted at major league parks
simply said: No Game Today.
The strike, which lasted 13 days,
was followed by a walkout during
spring training in 1976 and a mid-
season job action that darkened the
stadiums for seven weeks in 1981.
Miller led players through three
strikes and two lockouts. Baseball
has had eight work stoppages in all.
Slightly built and silver-haired
with a thick, dark mustache, Miller
operated with an eloquence and a
soft-spoken manner that belied his
toughness. He clashed repeatedly
with Commissioner Bowie Kuhn.
Before Miller took over the union,
some players actually opposed his
appointment as successor to
Milwaukee Judge Robert Cannon,
who had counseled them on a part-
time but unpaid basis.

Despite a loss to the Los Angeles
Galaxy that ended a historic season
for San Jose, the Earthquakes are
expected to shake things up as
Major League Soccer announces its
year-end awards.
The rst of that shaking happened
Tuesday when San Jose
Earthquakes head coach Frank
Yallop was named MLS Coach of
the Year, marking the second time
he has won the award in his 10-year
career.
Yallop was an overwhelming win-
ner, picking up 65 percent of the
vote 56 percent more than sec-
ond-place Peter Vermes of Sporting
Kansas City.
I felt really privileged in 2010 to
be nominated, Yallop said. And
obviously this year to win it is
amazing for what weve accom-
plished in ve years starting
from scratch and building up to this
point. Obviously, its a full team
effort from everybody involved
players, coaching staff, team of-
cials and the ownership group
that allows me to do what I do.
Yallop marshaled the 2012
Earthquakes through one of the
biggest turnarounds in MLS history.
At 19-6-9, Yallops squad improved
by 28 points and a league-record 11
wins from their 2011 nish. San
Joses 66 points set a club record
and ranks No. 3 in league history.
I will say one thing: Coaching is
not easy, Yallop said. But I will
say, its part of what weve built
here, is, a team that is a joy to coach.
It really is. We have a bunch of indi-
vidual characters but the team char-
acter and the team identity itself
[makes me] love coaching this
team. Maybe theyve brought out
the best in me because of what they
are.
During the regular season, Yallop
engineered an 8-0-1 record against
the three next-best teams in the
Western Conference Real Salt
Lake, Seattle Sounders FC and the
Galaxy. Additionally, Yallops
Earthquakes posted one of the top
offensive outputs in league history.
With 72 goals, San Jose shattered its
previous single-season record of 55
in a season, set in 1997.
The Earthquakes are the rst team
since the Galaxy and Miami Fusion
in 2001 to average more than two
goals per game.
I was very happy with the end of
2011, Yallop said of building the
2012 Quakes. When I say happy, I
felt comfortable with adding to that
group [and knowing] wed be OK,
wed be pretty good. To make the
moves early and really getting at it
helps. And I think we did that. And
we lled in the gaps we were lack-
ing.
Yallop had plenty of repower
from which to choose in 2012. Even
with three talented strikers in the
fold, Yallop found a way to integrate
Chris Wondolowski, Alan Gordon
and Steven Lenhart; that trio was
the rst in MLS to score 10 or more
goals apiece since 2002 and the rst
in club history since 1997.
Wondolowski scored an MLS-best
27.
I think you learn a little more
about yourself during the harder
times to be honest, Yallop said. I
think when youre winning games
and rolling along, it feels like its
pretty easy to do. What I will say, I
felt the group stayed really hungry
all season and I had to make sure
they had that mentality throughout
the year. I think there was disap-
pointment of not doing well in the
playoffs, that really hurts. But I
think you have to look at it as a
whole body of work and in 35
games, it was amazing for us and
what we did.
I feel comfortable. I feel like I
get the best out of people. This is a
building process and I feel really
proud that I was able to get this
award. But I feel better as a team.
Really the team is the reason why I
can get the award.
Yallop won his rst Coach of the
Year award in 2001. The award in
2012 marks the third time a San
Jose coach has been named Coach
of the Year, most recently Dominic
Kinnear in 2005.
I feel that Im a good coach,
Yallop said. Everyone will say that
but nobody ever likes to push them-
selves or say good things about
themselves. But, I have to believe
that I believe in myself because I
convinced this group that I can
coach. My self-belief was always
there, but its nice to come out
resolved. The players trusted me,
they bought in to what I was saying
and what I was trying to do.

Quakes Yallop named MLS Coach of the Year
SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES
San Jose Quakes Frank Yallop is now a two-time MLS Coach of the Year.
NEW YORK Barry Bonds,
Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa
are set to show
up on the Hall
of Fame ballot
for the first
time, and fans
will soon find
out whether
drug allegations
block the for-
mer stars from
reaching base-
balls shrine.
The 2013 ballot will be
announced Wednesday.
Craig Biggio, Mike Piazza and
Curt Schilling are certain to be
among the other rst-time eligibles.
Jack Morris, Jeff Bagwell and Tim
Raines are the top holdover candi-
dates.
Longtime members of the
Baseball Writers Association of
America will vote through next
month. The much-awaited results
will be announced Jan. 9, with play-
ers needing to be listed on 75 per-
cent of the ballots to gain induction.
The upcoming election is certain
to fuel the most polarizing Hall
debate since career hits leader Pete
Roses betting problems put him on
baseballs permanently ineligible
list, barring him from the BBWAA
ballot.
Bonds, Clemens and Sosa each
posted some of the biggest numbers
in the games history, but all were
tainted by accusations that they used
performance-enhancing drugs.
Bonds is baseballs all-time home
runs leader with 762 and won a
record seven MVP awards. Clemens
ranks ninth in career wins with 354
and took home a record seven Cy
Young Awards. Sosa is eighth on the
home run chart with 609.
Fans, players and Hall of Fame
members have all chimed in about
whether stars who supposedly
juiced up during the Steroids Era
should make it to Cooperstown.
Many of those opposed say drug
cheats should never be afforded
baseballs highest individual hon-
ors. Others on the opposite side
claim the use of performance-
enhancing drugs was pervasive in
the 1980s and 1990s, and shouldnt
disqualify candidates.
If recent voting for the Hall is any
indication, the odds are solidly
stacked against Bonds, Clemens and
Sosa.
Mark McGwire is 10th on the
career home run list with 583, but
has never received even 24 percent
in his six tries. Big Mac has admit-
ted using steroids and human
growth hormone.
Rafael Palmeiro is among only
four players with 500 homers and
3,000 hits, yet has gotten a high of
12.6 percent in his two years on the
ballot. Palmeiro drew a 10-day sus-
pension in 2005 after a positive test
for performance-enhancing drugs.

Barack Obama was willing back then to con-
sider cuts in future benets through lower
cost-of-living increases. Obama also consid-
ered raising the eligibility age for Medicare,
an idea that most Democrats oppose.
I havent seen any suggestions on what
theyre going to do on spending, a frustrated
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said Tuesday.
Theres a certain cockiness that Ive seen that
is really astounding to me since were basical-
ly in the same position we were before.
Well, says Obamas most powerful ally on
Capitol Hill, the Democrats are willing to
tackle spending on entitlement programs if
Republicans agree to raise income tax rates on
the wealthiest Americans a nonstarter with
Republicans still in control of the House.
We hope that they can agree to the tax rev-
enue that were talking about, and that is rate
increases, and as the presidents said on a
number of occasions, well be happy to deal
with entitlements, Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Tuesday.
But Reid speaks only in the most general
terms, wary of publicly embracing specic
ideas like boosting Medicare premiums or
raising the programs eligibility age.
At the White House, Obama met with a
group of small business owners. Participants
described the hour-long meeting as a listening
session for Obama, with the business owners
urging him to reach an agreement.
They had one message for the president,
which is they need certainty. Please get this
deal done as soon as possible. They very
much want consumers out there knowing that
theyre going to have money in their pockets
to spend. Thats why its so important to pass
the extension of the tax cuts for 98 percent of
consumers, 97 percent of all small business-
es, said Small Business Administration head
Karen Mills.
Obama planned to meet Wednesday with
more than a dozen leaders from large corpora-
tions, including Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman
Sachs, Marissa Mayer of Yahoo!, Brian
Roberts of Comcast and Arne Sorenson of
Marriott.
Obama hits the road on Friday, visiting a
Pennsylvania toy factory and broadcasting his
case to extend current tax rates for all but
those families making more than $250,000 a
year.
Private White House negotiations with top
aides to House Speaker John Boehner, R-
Ohio, and others are cloaked in secrecy, with
no evidence of headway.
Theres been little progress with the
Republicans, which is a disappointment to
me, Reid, a key negotiator, told reporters on
Tuesday. They talked some happy talk about
doing revenues, but we only have a couple
weeks to get something done. So we have to
get away from the happy talk and start talking
about specic things.
Republicans say its Obama and his
Democratic allies on Capitol Hill who are
holding back, and they point to a balance of
power in ofcial Washington that is little
changed by the presidents re-election.
Republicans still control the House, despite
losing seats in the election. Democrats control
the Senate.
Democrats in Congress have downplayed
the danger of going over the cliff and contin-
ue to rule out sensible spending cuts that must
be part of any signicant agreement to reduce
the decit, said Michael Steel, spokesman for
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
Just last year, Obama and top Democrats
were willing during budget negotiations with
Republicans to take politically risky steps
such as reducing the annual ination adjust-
ment to Social Security retirement payments
and raising the eligibility age for Medicare,
which provides health care coverage to the
elderly.
Now, with new leverage from Obamas
election victory and a playing eld for negoti-
ations that is more favorable to Democrats
than during the talks of the summer of 2011,
Democrats are taking a harder line, ruling out
any moves on Social Security and all but dis-
missing ideas like raising the eligibility age
for Medicare from 65.
The election spoke very strongly about the
fact that the American people dont want to
cut these programs that actually really sustain
the middle class in America and allow people
to become part of the middle class, said Sen.
Tom Harkin, D-Iowa.
I think they feel somewhat emboldened by
the election, said GOP Rep. Tom Price of
Georgia. How could you not when your pres-
ident is re-elected after running four straight
years of trillion dollar-plus decits?
Indeed, Obama could be in position to
blame Republicans if an impasse results in the
government going over the fiscal cliff.
Democrats already are portraying GOP law-
makers as hostage-takers willing to let tax
rates rise on everyone if lower Bush-era tax
rates are not extended for the top 2 percent to
3 percent of earners those with incomes
above $200,000 for individuals and $250,000
for joint lers.
One thing Republicans have to realize
were in much better shape in January, said
Harkin, referring to a time when taxes would
have already risen and Democrats would be
offering to cut taxes for all but the wealthiest
Americans. Fiscal cliff? I dont care.
Obamas opening position in the negotia-
tions calls for $1.6 trillion in higher taxes over
the coming decade, balanced by just $340 bil-
lion in cuts to rapidly growing health care pro-
grams, generally taken from health care
providers instead of beneciaries. That bal-
ance would have to change for Republicans to
sign onto any agreement.
Given the crunch of time and the complexi-
ty of issues such as tax reform and wringing
savings from programs like Medicare, nego-
tiators are working on a two-track process: an
initial down payment of decit cuts next
month, coupled with work next year on over-
hauling the tax code and curbing entitlement
programs.
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., a leading Senate
liberal and a member of Obamas special 2010
decit panel which drafted a bold decit
reduction plan blending painful entitlement
cuts with $2 trillion in higher tax revenues
weighed in with a demand that any short-term
down payment avoid politically sensitive safe-
ty net programs.
Progressives should be willing to talk
about ways to ensure the long-term viability
of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid,
but those conversations should not be part of a
plan to avert the scal cliff, Durbin said in a
speech at the liberal Center for American
Progress think tank in Washington.

FOOD 17
T
he problem with buttermilk is there
isnt a lot of real buttermilk
around.
The good news is that the newfangled but-
termilk available at most grocers isnt all that
bad. Better yet, its easy to make the real
stuff yourself.
But rst, a buttermilk primer. As its name
suggests, buttermilk is the tangy milk-like
liquid left behind when cultured cream is
churned to make butter. At least thats how
they made it in the old days. Today, its usu-
ally commercially produce by adding cul-
tures (think the bacteria that produces yogurt)
to low- or no-fat milk.
Either way, you end up with an acidic,
thick, milky liquid. But why is this consid-
ered an ingredient thats off the beaten aisle?
After all, weve all had buttermilk pancakes
and wafes. Its because what most people
dont realize is just how versatile an ingredi-
ent buttermilk is. And it belongs on the din-
ner table as much as at breakfast.
Lets start with buttermilks signature tang.
Its tangy because its acidic, and acidic
ingredients make for great marinades. Give
chicken, pork or turkey a buttermilk bath and
youll get especially tender, avorful meat.
Before you add the meat, just whisk in what-
ever seasonings you want.
And that same tang turns out killer mashed
potatoes. Use it in place
of regular milk, then
mash away. Ditto for
sweet potatoes.
Next time youre mak-
ing vinaigrette for your
salad or roasted vegeta-
bles, add buttermilk for
rich, luxurious avor.
Try a blend of olive oil,
buttermilk, lemon juice,
strawberry jam, salt and
black pepper.
Buttermilk also is
delicious in fruit smoothies. Substitute butter-
milk for a quarter to half of the liquid youd
normally use.
When shopping for buttermilk, most of
what you nd at the grocer is labeled cul-
tured buttermilk, which generally refers to
low-fat or skim milk that has been cultured.
But a number of regional dairies now sell
real buttermilk, a smart use of the liquid
leftover from their butter making operations.
But its also easy enough to make your
own. And the best part is that in the process,
you also get some delicious homemade butter
(the very best there is). Just purchase a pint
of the very best quality heavy cream you can
nd. Place it in a food processor and process
Using buttermilk to flavor
and tenderize pork
By Suxette Laboy
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. The Food
Network is getting into the restaurant business
in a location not always associated with good
food: An airport.
The channel has opened its first Food
Network Kitchen at the Fort Lauderdale-
Hollywood International Airport in South
Florida in the JetBlue terminal.
The dynamic of food and travel has
changed, said Sergei Kuharsky, general man-
ager of Food Networks new business enter-
prises. You used to never go in and think
about eating at an airport.
Now, with passengers arriving early to get
through security and limited options for in-
ight food, theres a market for airport dining.
We are responding to that opportunity,
Kuharsky said.
The Food Network Kitchen is the only
eatery serving hot food at the JetBlue con-
course. But its the brand that gets attention
from travelers as much as the lack of alterna-
tives.
I walked by and I said Oh wow, look at
that. Food Network restaurant. So I came in,
said Richard Wierzbicki of Austin, Texas.
And I would look for it again because I
thought the sandwich was really good.
Since opening Nov. 8, the Food Network
Kitchen has averaged 1,500 customers a day.
Airport locations are very busy, but this one
especially, said Jean-Pierre Turgot, general
manager for Delaware North Companies
Travel Hospitality Services, which partnered
with the Food Network to provide chef-
inspired meals at the airport and is also a part-
ner in Food Network-branded food sold at
concession stands and stadiums. Its the
highest revenue producer at the airport.
There are no waiters, so customers sit at
tables after ordering at the counter or they can
get takeout food, either made to order or
readymade items like sandwiches and salads.
While the recipes are developed and brand-
ed by the Food Network, the offerings are not
named for Food Network personalities, shows
or chefs. Instead, the menu promises organic
and sustainable ingredients and offers dishes
with connections to local ingredients and
regional culture, such as a Florida shrimp
poboy ($13) and a salmon burger with Key
lime mayo ($14).
South Floridas Latin culture is reected in
items such as the Cuban breakfast burrito ($8)
and a black beans and rice burger with mojo
mayo ($12). Also on the menu: fried pickles
with Key lime mayo ($6); sweet potato fries
with Key lime tartar sauce ($5); and a Cuban
sandwich ($12) with cafe con leche mayo
pressed on a ciabatta roll.
Wait times can back up when ights arrive
and the airport gets busy, so its best to arrive
early if you plan to sit down, as Liz
Lamoureux did before ying back home to
San Antonio, Texas.
On our way here, I was saying we wanted
to get here early to sit down for a drink, she
said as she nibbled on edamame and sipped on
the house pinot grigio.
Beverages range from espresso to entwine,
the Food Networks wine brand, to locally-
inspired cocktails like Lanskys Run, named
for the Prohibition-era gangster Meyer
Lansky.
The design of the restaurant resembles the
cable networks test kitchen: a butcher block
bar counter, subway tiling, stainless steel sur-
faces and pots and pans hanging in a row
only here, they hang behind a cash register.
The networks logo is plastered on every-
thing from to-go boxes to brown paper bags
lled with jelly beans and chocolate-covered
pretzels. Most of the TVs are tuned to the
Food Network, though some show sports or
news.

for several minutes.
The cream will get thick and resemble
whipped cream. Continue processing until
the whipped cream breaks and the fat solids
come together as butter. At this point there
should be one or two large clumps of butter
and a fair amount of milky liquid in the
processor. Pour off the liquid this is your
buttermilk. Season the butter with salt, then
use or refrigerate. Its that simple.
BUTTERMILK-SOAKED
PORK CUTLET SANDWICHES
Start to nish: 20 minutes, plus marinating
Servings: 4
1-pound pork tenderloin
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Thai red
curry paste, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
4 burger rolls
Boston or other leafy lettuce
1 large tomato, sliced
Cut the tenderloin crosswise into thin
rounds, each about 1/4 inch thick. One at a
time, set each round between sheets of plas-
tic wrap and pound evenly thin using a meat
mallet or rolling pin.
In medium bowl, whisk together the butter-
milk, 1 tablespoon of the red curry paste and
salt. Add the pork and ensure it is evenly
covered by the liquid. Refrigerate for at least
1 hour and up to 8 hours.
When ready to cook, heat the oven to 400
F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a wide, shallow bowl, mix the bread-
crumbs and pepper. Remove the pork cutlets
from the marinade. Dredge each piece
through the breadcrumbs, patting them on as
needed to coat evenly. Arrange the pork cut-
lets on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly
browned and cooked through.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk togeth-
er the remaining 1 teaspoon of red curry
paste, the mayonnaise and vinegar. Slather a
quarter of the mixture over the bottom half of
each burger roll. Top with lettuce and toma-
to, then 1 or 2 pork cutlets. Serve immediate-
ly.

PORK
By Ryan J. Foley
IOWA CITY, Iowa The maker of a popu-
lar brand of food for observant Muslims says it
is facing a potentially crippling investigation
into whether it falsely labeled meat products as
processed in compliance with Islamic law.
The Midamar Corp. said in federal court doc-
uments that investigators seized its main bank
account and business records under search war-
rants executed last month. A judge last week
upheld the governments seizure of $454,000 in
bank funds and rejected the companys request
to return the money.
No criminal or civil charges have been led,
and U.S. District Judge Linda Reade ruled that
the governments afdavit supporting its search
warrant can remain secret so as not to com-
promise an ongoing investigation. The U.S.
attorneys ofce declined comment Monday on
the investigation, which involves the U.S.
Department of Agriculture and Internal
Revenue Service.
Miramar said in court lings that the seizures
relate to vague allegations that it improperly
branded and sold meat products as meeting
Muslim dietary requirements, called halal,
when they did not. The privately held business,
which has been in Cedar Rapids for 40 years,
dismissed the allegations. And it claims federal
investigators are trying to regulate something
that must be left to religions under the U.S.
Constitutions separation of church and state.
Whether Midamars meat is in fact halal is a
religious question that may not be answered by
the U.S. government, company lawyers wrote
last month.
Midamar says it was the rst major U.S. sup-
plier of halal products after its 1974 founding
by Bill Aossey, who declined comment
Monday. The company calls itself the leading
U.S. halal brand and markets more than 200
products for U.S. and international customers,
including beef, turkey and chicken. It largely
relies on third-party suppliers for meat that it
packages.
Reade ruled that she did not believe the com-
panys constitutional argument was an appro-
priate basis to quash a warrant and is prema-
ture because no charges have been led.
Midamar, which has 70 employees, says it
has been unable to access credit needed to
maintain its operation and that some business
partners have kept a distance since last months
raid became public. It warned in one ling that
it could soon have to close its doors.
Reade ruled that Midamar failed to show that
the money seizure amounted to shutting down
the business. Midamar failed to prove it could
not obtain funding from other sources, such as
by liquidating assets or taking out personal
loans from its executives, she said. The agents
seizure of documents and les also did not pre-
vent the business from operating, Reade ruled,
noting investigators returned seized computers
within a week.
Rasheed Ahmed, president of the Muslim
Consumer Group for Food Products, a watch-
dog group in Huntley, Ill., said cheating is com-
mon in the marketing of halal meat, which is
supposed to be killed in ritual slaughter. Some
companies label routinely processed super-
market meat as halal, he said.
Ahmed said he was not aware of the investi-
gation or Midamars practices but that he would
be interested in the cases outcome. A lot of
consumers buy from them, he said.
Midamar says the matter does not involve
food safety. Still, its lawyers made public a let-
ter from USDA that noted the agency stopped
voluntary inspections at the rm in 2010, after
seizing what it called misbranded meat prod-
ucts, before resuming them last year.

There is no subtle way to say this. This
cake screams Christmas.
To start with, its gingerbread, the
aroma alone of which is embedded in the
denition of this holiday. That aroma, of
course, is paired with an ultra-rich, moist
cake that is at once dense, but also light.
Then there is the sugar crisp caramelized
sides of the cake, which only build to the
tender, sweet lemony pear slices that
crown the cake.
Pair this cake with a mug of hot cocoa,
coffee or (to be totally indulgent) a
frothy glass of eggnog.
LEMON PEAR UPSIDE-DOWN
GINGERBREAD CAKE
Start to nish: 1 hour 20 minutes (40
minutes active)
Servings: 16
Zest and juice of 2 lemons
1/2 cup white wine
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar,
divided
3 large pears, peeled, cored and sliced
1/2 cup golden raisins
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup molasses
1 tablespoon dry ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 2/3 cups all-purpose our
In a skillet over low heat, combine the
lemon juice and zest with the wine and
1/2 cup of the brown sugar. Add the
pears and bring to a slow simmer. Cook
for 10 minutes, or until the pears are just
tender. Remove from the heat and gently
stir in the raisins.
Heat the oven to 350 F. Spray a tube
pan with baking spray. Sprinkle the
remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar in the
bottom of the pan. Arrange the pears,
slightly overlapping, over the sugar.
In a medium bowl, use an electric
mixer to beat together the butter, granu-
lated sugar, molasses, ginger, cinnamon,
cardamom, allspice, baking powder,
baking soda and salt. Add the eggs, one
at a time, scraping the bowl between
additions. Add half the milk followed by
half of the our, mixing before adding
the remaining half the milk and our.
Spoon into the prepared pan over the
pears.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a
toothpick inserted at the center comes
out clean. Allow to cool for 15 minutes
in the pan, then place a large overturned
plate or platter over the cake. Invert the
cake so it is standing on the plate. If any
of the pears stick to the pan, carefully
remove them and return them to their
place on the cake.

Judge bows out of pink slime suit over ABC ties
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. A federal judge has recused him-
self from presiding over a $1.2 billion defamation lawsuit
against ABC because his daughter-in-law works as a producer
on one of the networks morning shows.
Judge Lawrence L. Piersol recused himself from hearing the
defamation lawsuit led by South Dakota-based Beef Products
Inc. against ABC because his daughter-in-law works as a pro-
ducer on Good Morning America.
The case has been reassigned to Chief Judge Karen Schreier.
Beef Products Inc. sued ABC in September over its coverage
of a meat product called lean, nely textured beef.

McCarthy contends he was subjected to age
discrimination and harassment.
Parents need to know what Pacica is feed-
ing their children, McCarthy said in a pre-
pared statement. No child should be forced to
eat a turkey that is four years old. I wouldnt
feed these things to my pet, let alone chil-
dren.
Superintendent Wendy Tukloff declined to
comment on the pending lawsuit but said she
was condent that the district met food safety
standards.
McCarthy, who has worked for the district
since 1994, delivers whatever needs to be
transported throughout the district such as
food or furniture. Prior to raising concerns, the
lawsuit shares quotes from a handful of evalu-
ations praising the 55-year-old for his work.
However, in 2011, that changed from exem-
plary to meets requirements.
McCarthy contends the change in evalua-
tion comes after he blew the whistle about
health and safety concerns with food storage
and preparation within the district.
Specically, McCarthy stopped storing dry
food in areas where rodent droppings were
found but was told to continue using the stor-
age anyway, according to the complaint. He
further alleges that the district, through food
from a contractor, served turkey from 2008
and mixed four-year-old pasta with new pasta
before serving it to children.
Since raising concerns, McCarthy said hes
been harassed. Also, the handling of allega-
tions from his superiors have been mishandled
including sharing McCarthys personnel infor-
mation with those outside of the district.
Dean Peterson, director of Environmental
Health in San Mateo County, explained that
schools are held to the same food safety stan-
dards as restaurants. Schools where food is
prepared are held to a higher standard and vis-
ited two to four times annually, he said.
Inspections from the San Mateo County
Health System show no major violations
found at any of the school sites in the last two
years. Minor violations have been mentioned.
Among those is a notice that the Linda Mar
School location at 830 Rosita Road twice was
cited for having rodents, insects, birds or small
animals in October 2011 and January 2012.
Follow-up investigations this year list no prob-
lems and an increase in the facility status from
good to excellent.
However, an investigation in relation to a
suspected food borne illness did take place at
Ocean Shore School in May. The results of the
investigation were not received by deadline.
The lawsuit also claims that the district has
mismanaged public funds by overpaying for
goods and that McCarthy witnessed female
employees being sexually harassed by a
supervisor.

the council rather than by rank or seniority so
it is within its purview not to choose either
or, as in the case Monday night, to choose
both in succession.
The scheduling allows Grocott to preside
over the annual State of the City address
which he is currently mulling as a series of
presentations from several residents and nota-
bles.
After agreeing to the split terms, the council
also unanimously chose Councilman Mark
Olbert as the incoming vice mayor to avoid
another formal vote and reorganization
process. They will take their oath at the March
11 meeting.
Grocotts mid-term ascension as mayor was
the second unexpected council change in as
many years. The previous year, then-vice
mayor Klein became interim mayor after
mayor Omar Ahmad died of a heart attack in
May 2011. The council ultimately named
Klein permanently to the spot through the year
and again for 2012. He held the post until his
April resignation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- To achieve the
best results when negotiating with someone who is
using intimidating methods, assume that the other
party is merely bluffng. Even if theyre not, the extra
confdence will give you the edge.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Its important to
follow a carefully conceived game plan regarding an
important matter. Try your best not to deviate from
such a blueprint, because your on-the-spot decision-
making might not be optimal.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Unfortunately, this
might not be one of your more productive days, but not
for a lack of industriousness on your part. It is likely to
be due to others unloading excess work on you.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You could end up be-
ing greatly disappointed if you fail to keep your hopes
and expectations within reasonable bounds. Your
optimism simply wont match your opportunities.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Dont expect to learn
too much if you are intimidated by the subject matter.
Get back in character and trust your smarts to fgure
out what its all about.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Experiencing some
opposition and/or frustration could prevent you from
conducting business in your usual manner. Do your
best to keep things moving forward.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- On issues where you
and your mate hold divergent opinions, it might be
diffcult for either of you to alter the others point of
view. Applying pressure will only make matters worse.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Youre apt to be totally
unyielding with anyone who takes you for granted,
yet when someone truly needs your help, youll be
the frst to lend a hand.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If what you want turns out
to be the opposite of what everybody else desires, it
might be quite diffcult for you to go along with them.
Nonetheless, you need to take this one for the team.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- An important personal
objective might not be in accord with the wishes and/
or plans of your colleagues. Instead of being sup-
portive, they could make things harder for you. Try to
be diplomatic, but also be frm.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Many little annoyances,
which you would normally overlook, could become
overwhelming if you dont try to get a handle on
them. Sweat the small stuff.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Someone who is trying
to use intimidating methods to get you to comply
with his or her wishes might act like he or she has
the upper hand, but its just a bluff. Dont be taken in.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Myrteze Boyle
Case Number 122869
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Myrteze Boyle. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by
Kathleen Boyle in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that
Kathleen Boyle be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: Decenber 11, 2012
at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
