Water pipes without proper restraints caused movement and a fracture which sent more than a million gallons of water down South San Francisco streets and into homes Nov. 25, according to an independent report released Tuesday. The breakdown was tied to a design aw.
Plans for the recent water pipeline seismic upgrades did not include a restraint. Pressure allowed the pipes to move, disconnecting two pieces of pipe and causing cracks in two meters which ultimately led to the water main Rich Garbarino break, according to the 25-
page report released by Exponent, a third party engineering and scientic consulting rm hired to conduct the investigation. Theres no excuse. This was caused by human error, said Assistant General Manager Steve Ritchie of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.

The new year also means a whole new batch of laws in California. Thanks to San Mateo County legislators, gas pipelines might be safer, buying some cough syrup will be illegal for minors and social studies students will learn in school about the contributions of Filipino veterans during World War II. All of the laws are based on legislation passed in 2011 and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown. Unless otherwise specied, each take effect Jan. 1. A strong theme in the last year was pipeline safety with both Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo, and Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, taking aim at preventing another disaster like the 2010 San Bruno explosion. Yees bill requires PG&E and other gas utility companies to install automatic and remotely-controlled shutoff valves on pipelines statewide. The proposal was in response to news that the San Bruno line only had manual shutoff valves leading to the inferno continuing for hours because a technician was not

Some of the favorite names were the New York Bees, Burros, Continentals and Skyscrapers. Ultimately, the team owners named their team the New York Metropolitans. *** Every year, actress Glenn Close (born 1947) sings the National Anthem for the New York Mets opening-day game. *** Glenn Close played villainous dognapper Cruella De Vil in the live action movie 101 Dalmations (1996).

San Mateo County Superior Court yesterday. Donaldson received a 60-day sentence with credit for eight days as part of the negotiated deal but could now face up to the total time allowable for the charge if the violation is found to be true. The charge can carry three or four years in prison but failures to surrender typically carry just double the original time, or 120 days in Donaldsons case, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. At her Tuesday appearance, Donaldson asked for a court-appointed attorney and was scheduled for a probation violation hearing Jan. 18. South San Francisco police arrested Donaldson Oct. 30, 2010 after responding to an advertisement by Jade on MyRedBook.com for a $250 full service date. The ofcers reported nding her in the motel room with a male and two underage girls. The girls denied any involvement in prostitution although their photos were in online advertisements. They said Donaldson had solicited them to work as prostitutes but that they had not yet done so. There was not enough evidence to hold the man for any crime and the girls are considered victims rather than criminals in this case, Wagstaffe said. Donaldson is in custody without bail.

NEW YORK The heck with lovey-dovey Valentines Day. Turns out December, with its holiday cheer, romantic winter backdrops and family gatherings, is among the busiest months for popping the question. Its a pretty time of year, said Jake Nyberg, 31, a video producer in Minneapolis. He chose Christmastime to drop to one knee in a gorilla suit while teetering on ice skates in front of his beloved. You know youre going to be around a lot of family. Youre going to be seeing all the people youd like to see after something like this happens. Sarah Pease, a professional proposal planner in New York, usually gets one or two inquiries a week from nervous grooms-to-be, but once Thanksgiving rolls around, its more like one or two a day, with most guys looking to propose in December. While she specializes in elaborate surprise proposals, she says the sim-
Christmas is considered one of four big proposal days, along with Valentines Day,Thanksgiving and New Years.
ple engagement-ring-under-the-tree trick is still popular. Thats a great way to have it as a family affair, she said. Its dreamy. This is denitely THE busiest time of the year. Laurent Landau in New York, a partner in the jewelry site DiamondIdeals.com, also sees the December bump: October, November and early December, we probably see a 50 to 60 percent increase in the number of people buying rings with the purpose of proposing during the holiday season. And its not just regular folks; celebs confirm the trend too.

Pragmatism in Iowa could benefit Romney

By Thomas Beaumont
MASON CITY, Iowa Iowa Republicans may be starting to choose with their heads rather than their hearts as the Jan. 3 caucuses approach. The ascent of libertarian-leaning Ron Paul and the lack of an ideologically pure consensus conservative seem to be awakening a new sense of pragmatism in some Iowa Republicans. That bodes well for Mitt Romney, as a large chunk of undecided voters continues the search for someone capable of defeating President Barack Obama. A lot of the people Im around are not Romney fans, but they are kind of acknowledging they think hes going to be the nominee, and that theyll plug their nose and vote for him, said Gwen Ecklund, Republican chairwoman in GOP-heavy Crawford
County in conservative western Iowa. A week before voting begins in the uid Republican race, interviews with a dozen Iowa political operatives and party activists as well as internal polling by rival campaigns suggest that some Iowans are increasingly concerned about Paul, whose views often stray from GOP orthodoxy, and have begun to fall in line behind Romney instead of another candidate seen as more devoutly conservative but weaker against Obama. Unlike Paul and his other opponents, theres room for Romneys support to grow. Public and private polling suggests hes more often the second choice of Republican caucusgoers than any other candidate, indicating that Republicans could be swayed in the coming week to support him over others. Conversely, few see Paul, the ideological libertarian, as a substitute for their rst choice of a hardline conser-
vative. In a sign of Newt Gingrichs slide, Texas Gov. Rick Perry who is seeing a slight bump as the Iowa campaign nears its end is more often identied as a second choice than is Gingrich. When you have a race this uid, second choices, I think, if you have good surrogates standing up and making the pitch for you in the caucuses, you may be able to dislodge people from their rst choice, said John Stineman, a West Des Moines Republican and former caucus campaign manager for Steve Forbes. Public polls show that at least half of caucus-goers are undecided or could still change their mind, meaning Romney, the former Massachusetts governor whose Mormon faith and reversals on social issues have left inuential Iowa Christian conservatives feeling skeptical, now has an opportunity to try to seal the deal.

Democrats scramble as Sen. Nelson announces retirement

By Grant Schulte
Gingrich goes after rivals despite pledge

By Shannon McCaffrey
LINCOLN, Neb. Democrats on Tuesday lamented Sen. Ben Nelsons decision to retire rather than seek a third term in Nebraska, fearing the move sets up Republicans for an easy and crucial victory in their effort to reclaim control of the chamber next year. Nelson, the lone Democrat in Nebraskas five-member congressional delegation, faced a tough reelection campaign against a large group of Republican challengers
who have spent the past several months attacking his support for President Barack Obamas health care overhaul and federal stimulus legislation. Republicans Ben Nelson must net four seats to take back the Senate in 2012, and Nebraska looks to be an easy pickup. There are no Democrats in line to take Nelsons place in the increasingly conservative state.
DES MOINES, Iowa No more Mr. Nice Guy. Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich lambasted two of his top GOP rivals on Tuesday, despite his claim that hes sticking to a positive campaign. Gingrich said he couldnt vote for Ron Paul if he were to become the GOP nominee and called the Texas congressmans views totally outside the mainstream of every decent American. In the same interview on CNN, Gingrich also offered a testy rebuke
to Mitt Romney, saying that if Romney wants to run a negative c a m p a i g n attacking Gingrich he should at least be man enough to own it. Newt Gingrich The sharp comments come as the former House speaker has seen his support slip in Iowa amid a barrage of attack ads that have cast him as an ethically challenged Washington insider. Scrambling to regain momentum,
Gingrich and a political action committee supporting him each took the wraps off television spots that will run statewide in Iowa. The PAC Winning the Future is composed of former Gingrich staffers. The ad, its rst, includes a broadside at Romney, although the former Massachusetts governor is never named. The Republican establishment wants to pick our candidate, the ad says. When a principled conservative took the lead, they outspent Newt Gingrich 20 to 1, attacking him with falsehoods. ... Dont let the liberal Republican establishment pick our candidate.
AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF SURVIVAL, RESILIENCE, AND HOPE

On a crisp blue early January morning, Sheri G. sat on the railing just outside her boyfriends fth-story apartment, her feet dangling over the street beneath her. Alienated, angry, and depressed, shed done drugs most of the night, and a day after escaping yet another recovery program. She pleaded to no one around, Why cant I stop doing this? Whether a cry for help or an act of spite, she scooted forward just inchesout into the cool mid-morning air. And 50 feet down. Few people survive a three-story fall, let alone a ve-story plunge. Sheri shattered her ankle, fractured her back, ruptured her spleen, and lacerated her liver. Miraculously, she lived. Even more miraculous is what shes done since, overcoming her addiction and the mental illness that fed it. Sheri suffered what was diagnosed as bipolar affective disorder. Sheris father was a truck driver, her mother a homemaker. Her older brother excelled at sports. Her elder sister wore a homecoming queens crown. But at the young age of 11, Sheri started cutting herself, using self-torture to sedate her already emerging inner demons. At 14, her parents divorced. Not long after, her grandfather died. Her father became despondent. Sheri self destructed. In junior high, she started drinking. In high school, she began using hard drugs. She dropped out, seeking drugs even at the cost of selling herself. For a time, she lived in her Ford LTD. At one point, she weighed only 98 pounds. She eventually landed in prison for two years. Despite her seemingly bleak situation, Sheri earned her GED while in prison. She won a Spark Plug Award from her fellow inmates for being optimistic and the one among them who always seemed so willing to help. She emerged from prison with hopes of turning her life around in the outside world. But those hopes dimmed, and quickly. She worked, but had trouble keeping a job. With her mental state on a perpetual roller coaster, she led 10 W-2s with the IRS in one year alone. Over time, she was in and out of 22 different recovery programs. She was, as she described herself, a time-bomb ticking. Finally, during one holiday season, her employer sent her to a 30-day inpatient recovery program. In early January, she wound up in mental lockdown. She escaped, relapsed into drugs within hours, and sought refuge with her boyfriend. While he was in the shower, she went toand then overthe railing. She woke up in intensive care to discover her father crying at her bedside, a faint awareness she was loved, and a feeling that things were going to be ne. Her survival may have been astounding, but her recovery wasnt. She spent a month in intensive care and the next six on her back. She underwent four surgeries. She managed a series of parttime jobs but chronic pain kept her from working much. Now, years later, thanks in part to Caminar, the 49-year-old owns a hopeful future instead of a troubled past. In 2005, she attended Caminars Transition to College program. There, she met Jobs Plus program director Michael Schocket, who saw in Sheri someone who was eager, intelligent and, most of all, who had lived the experiences of so many Caminar clients. Sheri is now an employee of Caminars Jobs Plus employment program, helping individuals get established in new jobs even though, once upon time, she couldnt keep one of her own. She meets with each of her clients at least four hours a week, to make sure they understand their duties, their schedules, and the life skills it takes to make it in the workplace. One client with a severe stutter and learning disabilities had trouble looking people in the eye. Sheri spent time coaching her how to make personal contact. Today the 21-year-old is a courtesy clerk training to become a cashier. Despite her desperate leap into oblivion, Sheri has become a testament to the human capacity to overcome adversity. Shes enormously grateful to all those who helped her alonglike Caminarand shes focused her energies on helping others turn the corner as she did. You, too, can contribute to rebuilding lives, by giving generously to support Caminar. People like Sheri will be forever thankful.

As Iraq War ends, no parade for troops planned

By Ben Nuckols and Samantha Gross
WASHINGTON Americans probably wont be seeing a huge ticker-tape parade anytime soon for troops returning from Iraq, and its not clear if veterans of the nine-year campaign will ever enjoy the grand, flagwaving, red-white-and-blue homecoming that the nations fighting men and women received after World War II and the Gulf War. Officials in New York and Washington say they would be happy to help stage a big celebration, but Pentagon officials say they havent been asked to plan one. Most welcome-homes have been smallerscale: hugs from families at military posts across the country, a somber commemoration by President Barack Obama at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. With tens of thousands of U.S. troops still fighting a bloody war in Afghanistan, anything that looks like a big victory celebration could be seen as unseemly and premature, some say. Its going to be a bit awkward to be celebrating too much, given how much there is going on and how much there will be going on in Afghanistan, said Don Mrozek, a military history professor at Kansas State University. Two New York City councilmen, Republicans Vincent Ignizio and James Oddo, have called for a ticker-tape parade

down the stretch of Broadway known as the Canyon of Heroes. A similar celebration after the Gulf War was paid for with more than $5.2 million in private donations, a model the councilmen would like to follow. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said last week that he was open to the idea but added, Its a federal thing that we really dont want to
do without talking to Washington, and well be doing that. A spokesman for the mayor declined to elaborate on the citys reasons for consulting with Washington. Ignizio said he had been told by the mayors office that Pentagon officials were concerned that a celebration could spark violence overseas and were evaluating the risk. Navy Capt. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman, said that he has not heard that issue raised and that New York has yet to make a formal proposal. He also said officials are grateful communities around the country are finding ways to recognize the sacrifices of troops and their families. The last combat troops in Iraq pulled out more than a week ago. About 91,000 U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines are in Afghanistan, battling a stubborn Taliban insurgency and struggling to train Afghan forces so that they eventually can take over security. Many U.S. troops who fought in the Iraq War could end up being sent to Afghanistan. A parade might invite criticism from those who believe the U.S. left Iraq too soon, as well as from those who feel the war was unjustified. It could also trigger questions about assertions of victory. Mrozek noted that President George W. Bushs administration referred to military action in the Middle East as part of a global war on terror, a conflict thats hard to define by conventional measures of success.
Obama nominates two to Man charged in soldier shooting Federal Reserve Board
By Julie Pace
HONOLULU A vacationing President Barack Obama on Tuesday nominated a Harvard University professor and a former Treasury ofcial under President George H.W. Bush a Democrat and a Republican to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. In a statement from Hawaii, where he was vacationing with his family, Obama praised Jeremy Stein and Jerome Powell for agreeing to serve his administration at a critical moment for the U.S. economy. Their distinguished backgrounds and experience coupled with their impressive knowledge of economic and monetary policy make them tremendously qualied to serve in these important roles, Obama said.
Stein is an economics professor at Harvard, where he teaches courses in nance. His research focuses on the behavior of stock prices, corporate investment and nancial regulation. He previously served in the Obama administration as a Barack Obama senior adviser to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. Powell is a visiting scholar at the Washingtonbased Bipartisan Policy Center, where he has focused on federal and state scal issue. He served in the rst Bush administration as undersecretary of nance at the Treasury Department, where he was responsible for policy on nancial institutions and the treasury debt market.
SAN BERNARDINO A California man was charged on Tuesday with attempted murder in the shooting of an Afghanistan war veteran at a homecoming party during what authorities said was a fight over football teams. But the attorney for 19-year-old Ruben Ray Jurado said his client was apparently under attack when shots were red at Christopher Sullivan at the party to welcome him home for the holidays. Prosecutors in San Bernardino County charged Jurado with attempted murder and multiple sentencing enhancements for using a rearm. Jurado had surrendered himself to authorities a day earlier for investigation in the shooting that critically wounded the 22-yearold Purple Heart recipient. Authorities said Jurado, who had played football with Sullivan in high school, began
arguing with Sullivans brother over football teams at the party Friday night and then punched him. Sullivan intervened and Jurado pulled a gun and red multiple shots, hitting Sullivan in the neck, police said. Sullivan remains in critical condition. His relatives say the gunre shattered his spine and left him paralyzed from the neck down. Hes opening his eyes more, his 20-yearold brother Brandon Sullivan told the Associated Press. Were just waiting day by day. Sullivan was wounded in a suicide bombing attack last year while serving with the military in Afghanistan. He suffered a cracked collarbone and brain damage in the attack and had been recovering in Kentucky, where he is stationed, before coming home for the holidays. Defense attorney Michael J. Holmes said earlier on Tuesday that he wanted to talk to his client and the district attorney before commenting further on the case.

Budgeting fantasies hit home

Santa Maria Times
Other voices
going to pay anyway through a loss of valuable services. Brown announced more than $1 billion in new budget cuts this week, because revenues have not lived up to expectations. Higher education will take a severe hit, as will K-12, because school bus funding is among the casualties. Also on the chopping block are services for the disabled, and money for public libraries and state prisons. And this may be just the beginning. The governors proposed spending plan for 201213 is due in January, and it wont be pretty. The states budget decit for next year is pegged at $13 billion, which means it will most likely be several billion more than that. And because real revenue didnt match projected revenue this year, neither Democrats nor Republicans can fall back on unrealistic projections to bolster their argument for or against a tax increase. But they will try anyway. Thats what they do, instead of rst facing scal reality, then creating a spending plan that combines program cuts and higher taxes. Even the mid-year budget slashing announced by the governor may not be realistic. Among the cuts is a $100 million funding reduction for workers who care for the sick and elderly in the states home-health-
tions. First, we admitted the spending plan was far from perfect, but it was probably the best California taxpayers could hope for, given the historic budgeting idiocy that seems to have infected everyone in Sacramento. We also observed that revenue projections upon which the budget was predicated were likely too optimistic. We made that observation, even as state revenue in mid-summer appeared rosier than expected. We also observed that the budget being 110 days beyond the constitutionally mandated deadline was a result of foot-dragging by the Republican minority in the Assembly and Senate. Perhaps the most vexing element in the GOP lawmakers intransigence was their slamming Gov. Brown and Democrats for basing a budget on unrealistic expectations while in almost the same breath, using improving revenues as the basis for their argument that California didnt need new taxes, or extensions of taxes in existence at that time. Now, six months later, none of that really matters. As many feared, state revenues have slowed to a trickle, and Californians are
t the end of June, shortly after the California Legislature agreed on a budget, we made a few observa-
care program. The union that represents those 180,000 workers sought legal relief, and a federal judge has recently issued a temporary order against those reductions. Part of the reasons revenue projections sputtered is that $1.7 billion expected from closing down redevelopment agencies is hung up in court, with the state facing an avalanche of lawsuits, as those agencies defend their turf. Theres also the $200 million expected from taxing Internet businesses, which the U.S. Supreme Court has subsequently ruled is illegal. In those June observations, we made the point that it remained to be seen how taxpayers would react to deep spending cuts. It seems evident now that the answer is, not so well. We skewered Republicans in the Legislature for being hypocrites when it came to using budget projections for their own purposes, but its pretty clear that all lawmakers share blame for the scal mess in which California nds itself. Everyone in Sacramento seems to be trying to avoid the pain, either political or scal but at the same time, they arent at all reluctant to inict that pain on the states weakest citizens. That is shameless behavior. Theres just no other way to say it.
The trouble with traffic

e encountered a crash every time we hit the road this Christmas weekend. On Interstate 80. On Highway 50. On Highway 99. On Interstate 580. No matter the route, there was a crash. We normally get into congestion through Vacaville and sometimes through Tracy if we take that route. But nothing like the stop-and-go crossed with parking lot that comes from a sixcar pileup. Or the threecar fender bender. Or the ... OK, you get the idea. My rst reaction is usually dismay which is accompanied by the head to the head rest motion, then open mouth and verbal why? Then comes the scan of the road, the radio and whatever other device we have that can give us information. Then comes determination, then anger, then the thought that we should have left earlier. Then the idea that at least we didnt leave early enough that we were in the crash and happiness that everyone in our car is safe and sound. Then there is the relief when I can see the emergency lights and that the end is near. Then there is the crawl of trafc past the crash on the shoulder and the dismay that everyone has to stop and take a look. Why do we have to stop and take a look? Perhaps the California Highway Patrol should put up those tarps so people cant look like the ones they used to put up at Bay Meadows when a horse broke its ankle. And if everyone loves to see crashes so much, then why isnt there some sort of tourist stop at body shops? They could charge admission to see the worst of the worst crashes. Or post them online for all to see. Anyway, we made it to our destinations and back home safe and sound. So I guess thats what matters. *** I understand the need to call Spare the Air Days when the air quality is poor. The particulate matter from wood smoke is bad for those with breathing problems and the cool still air keeps the particulates close by. But do they have to call a Spare the Air Day with the threat of $400 nes for those who burn wood in their replaces on Christmas Eve? For most people, that is the one day when there is a desire to have a re in the replace. It sets the mood and helps with holiday cheer. So I suggest to the Bay Area Air Quality Control District, call all the Spare the Air Days you want. Most people will comply. But have an exception for Christmas Eve. Its just one day out of the year. Consider it a festive compromise. *** I wasnt surprised to hear that Sears was planning to shut down stores across the nation. I havent been in a Kmart in years, but stopped by a Sears this past month looking for a tool. It wasnt that special of a tool, it was a hydraulic impact wrench. But one was nowhere to be found. And the whole store seemed shabby and a little out of date. Seems Sears had trouble keeping up with the times and competition. *** For many, this is the time of year to be with family and friends. More people are off work than not. But for many people, this is the busiest time of the year. Grocery store workers are slammed before the holidays, and still have active business this week as people gear up for New Years Eve parties. Restaurant workers also feel the impact. And there are also utility workers, hospital workers, other emergency personnel, police and dispatchers who are busy dealing with the impact of so many people being off and partying at the same time. So while I may complain about getting stuck in trafc, that is nothing compared to the public safety workers out there on scene making sure everyone is OK and that everyone else makes it to their destination safe and relatively on time. So think of them when youre enjoying your time off and maybe take the time to thank them for their service.

Letters to the editor

City Hall owes many a parking meter refund
Editor, Dec. 26 was a federal holiday. Thus, the mayor and all of the paid ofcials at San Mateo City Hall took the day off. The city website said that the Dec. 26 was a holiday. But City Hall gave the rm order to issue parking tickets on Dec. 26. Why is this? When I parked in a city parking lot on Dec. 26, I fed the meter because I did not want to run the risk of a $40 parking ticket. But right after I happened to see a parking enforcement ofcer at work and reminded him that this was a holiday, I got the sharp response [today] is a federal holiday, not a city one. Seems to me that, if our leaders celebrate the holiday, they should extend the privilege of free parking when they take the day off. As for his main thesis that there is no assault on Christmas, I believe he is wrong. I grew up in San Francisco. I remember the nativity scene, Christmas carols and Santa at Bayview Elementary School. When I started teaching elementary school in San Francisco, we had elaborate Christmas celebrations. By the 90s, such Christmas celebrations were gone from San Franciscos schools. The stores in downtown San Fransisco were not decorated as they were when I was a child. And sales clerks said Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. Last year, I visited a local mall. One section had a big sign that said, Holiday Trees. When I asked the salesperson what holiday these trees were for, he sheepishly said Christmas. This year I visited Macys Holiday Lane store. The only holiday objects in the store were Christmas objects, but Macys was too politically correct to call the store Christmas Lane or to have a sign in the store with the word Christmas on it. All the ornaments were Holiday Ornaments. In the entire mall, there were only three stores that had Christmas signs. There is an effort to downplay Christmas and turn it into a secular occasion where people buy, buy, buy to celebrate some generic happy holiday.
The Occupiers
Editor, Referencing Mr. Conways letter Hey dude, where is my trophy? in the Dec. 26 edition of the Daily Journal which stated that the Occupiers are just spoiled young folks wanting what others have labored to achieve but without the effort, I think Mr. Conway listens to a little too much Fox News. The Occupy movement is going to bat for all of us in their effort to draw attention to the power corporate America has seized. Represented by the top 1 percentile of our population, corporate America is furthering the wealth gap between itself and the rest of us. Not only does this diminish our democracy but weakens our nation as a whole, which ultimately will leave that 1 percent holding a very empty bag. The destructive effects of allowing unlimited campaign contributions by the wealthiest among us will ensure that only the wealthiest of us will be heard in politics. Media consolidation, again controlled by that 1 percent, will likewise dumb down the discussion and make reform much harder. So, unless Mr. Conway is making over a quarter of a million dollars a year and is shortsighted to boot, he could well spend some fruitful time talking to some of those pesky Occupiers. It might actually be in his self interest.
John B. Cunningham San Mateo
Happy Holidays
Editor, I feel sorry for Keith Kreitman and hope his grandchildren never read his column A Christmas to forget published in the Dec. 24-25 weekend edition of the Daily Journal. I am sure they would be very sad to think that their grandfather disliked spending Christmas with them.

NEW YORK Stocks ended barely changed in light trading Tuesday amid mixed economic news. Consumer confidence surged to an eight-month high, but home prices dropped in major cities.

The S&P 500 index and Nasdaq eked out small gains. In the latest sign of a bumpy recovery in the housing market, home prices fell in 19 of the 20 cities tracked by the Standard & Poors/Case-Shiller index. Atlanta, Detroit and Minneapolis posted the biggest declines. Prices in Atlanta and Las Vegas fell to their lowest points since the housing crisis began.

Consumer confidence index surges

By Anne Dinnocenzio
NEW YORK Americans are gaining faith that the economy is on the upswing. An improving job outlook helped the Consumer Condence Index soar to the highest level since April and near a postrecession peak, according to a monthly survey by The Conference Board. The second straight monthly surge coincided with a decent holiday shopping season for retailers, though stores had to heavily discount to attract shoppers. The rise in condence jibes with a better outlook for the overall economy. An Associated Press poll of three dozen private, corporate and academic economists projects U.S. economic growth
will speed up in 2012, if it isnt derailed by upheavals in Europe. But condence is still far below where it is in a healthy economy. And Americans mood could sour again if the debt crisis in Europe deepens and spreads to the U.S. Shoppers still face big obstacles higher costs on household basics and a still-slumping housing market. This is encouraging. Its good to be talking about improvement, said Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells Fargo. But there is still a lot of room for trouble. The Conference Board, a private research group, said Tuesday that its Consumer Condence Index rose almost 10 points to 64.5 in December, up from a revised 55.2 in November. Analysts had expected 59. The level is close to the post-recession high of 72, reached in
February. The December surge builds on a big increase in November, when the index rose almost 15 points from October. That months reading was the lowest since March 2009, the depths of the recession. One component of the index that measures how shoppers feel now about the economy rose to 46.7 from 38.3 in November. The other barometer, which measures how shoppers feel about the next six months, rose to 76.4 from 66.4. In particular, shoppers assessment of the job market improved, according to preliminary results of the survey conducted Dec. 1-14. Those anticipating more jobs in the months ahead increased to 13.3 percent from 12.4 percent while those anticipating fewer jobs declined to 20.2 percent from 23.8 percent.
Survey:Home prices down in most major U.S.cities

By Derek Kravitz
WERE OPEN EVERYDAY

6:30am-3pm, Monday-Sunday
WASHINGTON U.S. home prices fell in most major cities for the second straight month, further evidence that the housing recovery will be bumpy and weigh on the broader economy in 2012. The Standard & Poors/Case-Shiller index released Tuesday showed prices dropped in October from September in 19 of the 20 cities tracked. The decline reects the typical fall slowdown after the peak buying season. Prices had risen modestly in April through August in at least half of the cities tracked. Still, home prices have fallen roughly
32 percent nationwide since the housing bubble burst ve years ago and are back to 2003 levels, according to the index. Prices are even lower in hard-hit areas, such as Atlanta, Cleveland, Detroit, Phoenix and Las Vegas. Washington, New York, Los Angeles and San Diego have seen the smallest declines. Home values remain depressed despite some modest progress in the housing market. Residential construction is likely to add to U.S. economic growth in 2011, the rst time that has happened in four years. Thats mainly because apartments are being built almost twice as fast as two years ago reecting a surge in renting and weaker home sales. The Case-Shiller index measures
prices for roughly half of all U.S. homes. Prices are compared with those in January 2000 and the index is based on a three-month moving average. The monthly data are not seasonally adjusted. Atlanta, Detroit and Minneapolis posted the biggest monthly declines. Prices in Atlanta and Las Vegas fell to their lowest points since the housing crisis began. Prices rose in Phoenix after three straight monthly declines. David M. Blitzer, chairman of S&Ps index committee, said steep price drops in cities such as Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and Minneapolis were particularly worrisome because their gains earlier this season were so strong.

NEW YORK The New York Times Co. said Tuesday that it will sell its Regional Media Group to Halifax Media Holdings LLC for $143 million. The division being sold runs 16 small, regional newspapers including The Press Democrat in Santa Rosa, Calif.; the News Chief in Winter Haven, Fla.; and The Tuscaloosa News in Tuscaloosa,
Ala. Halifax Media owns the Daytona Beach News-Journal in Florida. The sale of our Regional Media Group will enable The New York Times Company to continue our transformation to a digitally-focused, multiplatform media company, said New York Times Co. Chairman Arthur Sulzberger. The Times Co., like many newspaper publishers, has struggled in recent years as advertisers shift from newspapers to
cheaper alternatives on the Internet. The company had said on Dec. 19 that it was in advanced talks to sell the business to Halifax. That announcement came four days after the company said CEO Janet Robinson will step down at the end of the year. The sale is expected to close in a few weeks, and The New York Times Co. will record an after-tax gain on the sale in the rst quarter of 2012.

Breakout season lands eight 49ers in Pro Bowl

Six San Francisco players to start; trio of Raiders earn post-season honor as well
By Barry Wilner
NEW YORK Tom Brady is one of eight Patriots and Patrick Willis one of eight 49ers to make the Pro Bowl, the most on each roster. Defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay (14-1), led by starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and Baltimore (11-4), led by veteran linebacker Ray Lewis, have seven apiece for the Jan. 29 game in
Honolulu, the NFL announced Tuesday. Brady is one of seven starters from New England (12-3). The others are receiver Wes Patrick Willis Welker, tight end Rob Gronkowski, defensive tackle Vince Wilfork, defensive end Andre Carter, and guards Brian Waters and
Logan Mankins all are starters for the AFC from the Patriots. Special teamer Matthew Slater is the other New England repreJustin Smith sentative. Linebacker Willis, DE Justin Smith, cornerback Carlos Rogers and tackle Joe Staley will start for the NFC from the 49ers
(12-3), who had only Smith and Willis make the Pro Bowl last year. Green Bays Rodgers is the starting NFC quarterback, backed by Joe Staley record-setting Drew Brees of New Orleans (12-3). It does have special signicance, because when I was voted in in
2009, I was the third guy and I was very thankful to be voted in, and got the opportunity to start because of some injuries and guys not going, Rodgers said. Its great to be voted in as a starter, that means a lot to me and its a special honor. Four of the NFLs biggest headline makers this season did not get voted in by players, coaches and fans: Lions DT Ndamukong Suh, Steelers LB James Harrison,

Menlo tops Casa Roble Cal gets a shot at

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
There is one of two ways high school basketball coaches treat the winter break: one is to schedule lightly and use the time to practice to prepare for the league season. Then there is the way Menlo School girls basketball coach John Paye is dealing with two weeks without school: games, games and more games. The Knights opened the Steve Geramoni Invitational Tuesday at Notre Dame-Belmont by beating Casa Roble of the Sacramento area, 42-37. It was the Knights fth game in a week. We came out a little lethargic, Paye said. Menlo (6-2 overall) traveled to a tournament in Santa Barbara last week, returning home late Friday night. While the Knights may be a little road weary, they learned something from their stay in Santa Barbara and it paid off Tuesday. Against Los Alamitos last Tuesday, Menlo held a 38-34 lead with just over two minutes to play and lost, 46-41. Yesterday, the Knights were in a similar situation: up 39-35 with just over a minute and a half to play. This time, the Knights closed out the opposition. I was proud of the girls for pulling it out late, Paye said. Fatigue began to show in the second half as the Knights were held to just 15 points in the third and fourth quarters after scoring 27 in the rst half, including 16 in the opening quarter. I think we showed a little fatigue, but I think they had some of the same issues, Paye said of Casa Roble, which made a two-hour bus ride from the metro Sacramento area a drive it will make a lot over the next few days as the Rams will commute to the tournament and back home every day. Menlo center Drew Edelman had her string of 20-plus points and rebounds end after four games, but she was still more than Casa Roble could handle. Edelman scored a game-high 18

SAN DIEGO Even though hes won a Super Bowl, it still irks Aaron Rodgers that he and the California Golden Bears were bumped from the Rose Bowl seven years ago by Mack Brown and the Texas Longhorns. The Longhorns went on to beat Michigan in Pasadena. Relegated to the Holiday Bowl, Cal played like a jilted team and was overrun by Texas Tech in Rodgers nal game. The Golden Bears can get a measure of revenge when they play the Longhorns in a matchup of 7-5 teams in the Holiday Bowl on Wednesday night. Rodgers, who led the Green Bay Packers to a Super Bowl win last year as the NFCs No. 6 seed, let out a deep sigh when asked earlier this month if hes still upset about what happened seven years ago. Yes. Well, we got them now in the Holiday Bowl, so, seven years later, yes, Im still upset about it, he told San Francisco Bay Area reporters in a conference call before the Packers played host to the Oakland Raiders. That was something that I wouldve really loved to have been a part of. The last Rose Bowl for Cal, I want to say, was in the 50s. Got to get back there soon. Cal hasnt been to the Rose Bowl since Jan. 1, 1959. In 2004, Texas overhauled Cal in the nal BCS standings and went to the Rose Bowl. Rodgers said then that Brown was a little classless in begging for poll votes that would help the Longhorns. Theres a lot better way to do it, and its called a playoff system, Rodgers said this year. Its ridiculous. I dont know what theyre calling Division II and III anymore, but they all play a playoff system to get a denite winner. Theres

Redwood City AYSO expanding adult league

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For those still looking for a New Years Resolution, heres one thats a winner: Play more soccer. A couple of years after playing soccer as a Foothill College Owl, Daniel Mercado and roommate Daniel Black, decided to start an adult soccer league as part of the Redwood City
AYSO, which has programs in place up to 18-and under. Now, two seasons after their idea was conceived, the league looks to grow and is on the cusp of their rst spring season. Its our biggest passion as far as sports are concerned, Mercado said. Weve played since we were ve. Its a great way to stay young and stay t while doing something you love.
The AYSO is coming off a 10week winter season that saw the Blue and Yellow team defeats Mercados Black and Red squad. The league played their games at Red Morton Park in Redwood City at 9 p.m. With a new season in the works, Mercado and Black are looking for ways to get more people involved. The spring time is a little warmer, Mercado said. Hopefully it
prompts people to take action and come out to play. Were looking to have at least 100 players, to make things more competitive and so you can play different teams. The teams are coed and consist of 11 players to a side. Halves are 30 minutes long with a 10-minute halftime. Its a pretty broad range, with people coming from all different back-
grounds of competition, Mercado said, adding players in the league ranged from 18-50 years old. That right there gives you an idea of the differences in athletic ability. Last winter, the AYSO went international, with a team from England participating in the league and not just that, but giving some football

Notre Dame routs Kings Academy

Sports brief
Saints not divulging plan for Brees in nale
METAIRIE, La. Although Sean Payton helped Drew Brees become the NFLs all-time single season passer, the coach isnt divulging whether hell enable his star quarterback to maintain that distinction. With 5,087 yards passing after Monday nights victory over Atlanta, Brees enters the nal week of the season 190 yards ahead of New Englands Tom Brady. Yet the Saints regular-season finale might not matter in terms of Drew Brees playoff seeding, meaning the more prudent choice for Payton could be to rest Brees for much of Sundays game against Carolina. The Patriots, by contrast, must beat Buffalo to ensure theyll have the top seed in the AFC. Payton says he must consider what puts the Saints in the best position to make a Super Bowl run, and that such decisions are not always popular.
For the second time in the month of December, Notre Dame-Belmont and the Kings Academy met on the basketball court for a little girls basketball. Last time, the Knights jumped all over the Tigers to begin the game. On Tuesday night, Notre Dame returned the favor. Last nights game was less of a contest and more of a rout, with the Tigers suffocating the Knights defensively en route to a 58-17 victory. It was the complete opposite of when we played them last time, said Notre Dame head coach Josh Davenport. They jumped all over us and tonight we were able to jump all over them and our defense obviously is the catalyst for everything that we do. The Tigers defense was superb at times. Notre Dame shut out Kings in the rst quarter, outscoring them 15-0. The Knights wouldnt get their rst points until the 7:30 mark of the second quarter. Notre Dame led 32-6 at the
half. For all intents and purposes, the game was all but over come recess. I feel like weve improved defensively, Davenport said of his teams progress in 2011. Offensively, we still have a lot of work to do. Were still trying to gure out our spacing, But it doesnt really matter, if were stopping teams, were going to be enough looks at the basket and have the opportunities to outscore teams. Notre Dame shot a modest 36 percent from the oor in the rst half. Ana Sciutto led the way with 10 points. On the contrary, Kings shot 11 percent. We wanted them to pass the ball around the perimeter, Davenport said. I was trying to stop their gap drives. No. 1 (Katie Young) is a great little point guard, shes only a freshman, shes going to be outstanding for years to come. Our job was to make her kick the ball out and make somebody else beat us. She did a pretty good job of breaking us down at times and that is not what I wanted to see. But overall, we still make things very difcult for other teams.
Things didnt get any easier for Kings in the second half. They went 4-of-27 from the oor in the games latter 16 minutes. While Notre Dame continued to ride Sciutto inside and nding some nice baskets on the back door pass and lay in. She was active tonight, Davenport said of Sciutto. She had a bunch of blocks, she did a good job of getting some offensive put-backs which were really important for us in the rst half. Offensively, we were really unselsh and we looked to make the extra pass. More importantly, were getting those back door opportunities. Teams that want to overplay us are going to struggle because were very versed in going back door. Im just hoping we work harder on getting open so we can run our offense if when we need to as opposed to just settling on that back door, Davenport said. The win moves the Tigers into the next round of their home tournament as they continue to sail into WCAL play which begins Jan. 4. The Tigers are now 8-1.

Stanford believes its primed to stay on top

By Janie McCauley
STANFORD David Shaw gets the same question in a variety of forms: Can Stanford remain a top-tier team once projected No. 1 pick Andrew Luck is long gone for the NFL? Shaw is optimistic he can keep a good thing going when many gure the Cardinal will be down on their Luck. But the ever-positive Luck doesnt foresee a drop-off for the No. 4 Cardinal (11-1). Shaw considers Mondays Fiesta Bowl date with third-ranked Oklahoma State (11-1) not as the programs last hurrah but rather just another great opportunity to build the Stanford name. I like to think in terms of eras, and hopefully our era doesnt come to an end with Andrew leaving, Shaw said last week before the team headed to the desert to prepare. I kind of like the high expectations, because it shows us that weve earned the right to be
where we are. Then youve got to play up to it. Shaw, one of two rsttime coaches in BCS bowl games along with West Virginias Dana Holgorsen, believes the top players now want to play on The Farm. David Shaw Heisman Trophy runnerup Luck helped establish that reputation for the school. Ive searched, and I cant nd another team thats ended back-to-back years in the top ve in football and the top ve in education, Shaw said. It doesnt happen very often anymore. He points to when do-everything running back Toby Gerhart departed for the pros two years ago and the chatter then about how could the Cardinal possibly succeed without him. Good teams always handle that, Shaw mouth, especially the players who earned it. While the fans probably still have some bitterness about it now, the guys on our team right now, they were 10 years old when that happened. Tedford was asked if fans might be a little more intense when the Golden Bears get their rst shot at the Longhorns since 1970. Im hoping theyre intense about the game, you know, not sitting there in their seats, saying, You know, back in 2004 Im going to yell louder right now. I just dont know that thats the case. I think were trying to make something of that a little bit more than really what it is. That happened a long time ago. It was unfortunate at the time, but were in a whole new day, a whole new game, different people and things like that. I think some of the fans are still a little bit bitter about that, still remember that. The Rose Bowl is something that when youre that close and you dont go, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth for a
said. Everybody wondered how good wed be after we lost Toby Gerhart. Everybody wondered how itd be with three new starters this year on the offensive line. And everybodys going to wonder how good were going to be without Andrew next year. And thats good. Having played at Stanford where his father also worked as an assistant Shaw gets what it takes to thrive, the demands of balancing the academic standards and football. Athletic director Bob Bowlsby promoted Shaw from offensive coordinator to replace Jim Harbaugh last January. Bowlsby is optimistic, while also realistic about losing Luck, about the direction of the program looking ahead to 2012 and beyond. There is no question that it is very difcult to improve at the same time a team is losing a great player like Andrew Luck, Bowlsby said. Additionally, Andrew would be the rst to assert that he plays with many other special players, some of whom will be graduating and lot of the fans. Tedford and Brown have become friends, so theres no animosity between the coaches. Brown isnt apologizing for what he did in 04. He said theres always a debate about whether a coach should stand up for his team or keep his mouth shut, or if a coach should vote for his team. What I thought when I did it and I did it in 08 and it didnt work for us I thought I was standing up for what I believed was true, that we had a good team, Brown said. In 04, what I thought came to be true because we beat a really good Michigan team in the Rose Bowl and it was a great football game. What I thought in 08 could have been true because we beat a really good
moving on to the NFL. Our staff has done a very good job recruiting, and we have the best depth in many years with a very strong recruiting class coming in. When all of that is combined with excellent sport performance, sports medicine programs, and a proven coaching staff, we have every reason to be excited about the future. When Shaw arrived in Arizona on Monday, he referenced dad, Willie, and his experiences at the Fiesta Bowl. It means a lot, he said. I had so many memories as soon as I heard that we were going to the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. My dad coached in the 1982-83 seasons. Those were big games and exciting games, and hopefully we can do the same here. The good thing is he won that game also, and hopefully we get a chance to win this one. Shaw earned his first big victory the moment Luck decided to stay for one more college season despite Harbaugh bolting to

Ohio State team in the BCS. I do think Ive tried to be fair and honest. With Cal being disappointed not getting in, we were just as disappointed in 08 when we went to the Fiesta Bowl instead of playing in the conference championship game. It probably cost Colt McCoy a Heisman Trophy because Sam Bradford won it against Missouri in the conference championship game. It denitely cost us a conference championship because wed already beaten Missouri badly and we were the better of the two teams at that time and cost us a chance to win a national championship. That could be very devastating, too, and we dont sit about it and talk about it all the time.

Edelmans basket with 5:50 to play gave Menlo a 35-29 lead before Casa Roble went on a 6-0 run to tie the game at 35 with 2:48 to go. The Knights responded with a 7-2 run to end the game. Donya Dehnad put Menlo ahead for good with her slashing layup off dribble penetration. Edelman added another basket to put the Knights up four, 39-35, and Lauren Lete iced the game, making 3 of 5 free throws in the nal minute.

Stanford will turn to QB-in-waiting Brett Nottingham, running back Stepfan Taylor, its talented tight ends and the Cardinal hope a healthy Shayne Skov at linebacker to carry on. Although their national title hopes were dashed weeks ago, leaving one last mark with another monumental win would mean so much.

The Rams certainly didnt start the game passively as Amber Felicio lit up the Knights for 10 rst-half points, knocking down two long-range jumpers to start the game. They came out stroking their shots, Paye said of Casa Roble. We gured out real quick, [Felicio] was a good shooter. But Felicio, like everybody else, struggled in the second half offensively. And while the Knights didnt scorch the nets, they prevented the Rams from achieving that feat as well. The Rams managed just 14 points in the second half. We struggled a bit offensively, Paye said. But our defense picked us up. To keep a team below 40 points, you should win a girls high school basketball game. AP poll, the schools best ranking since the unbeaten 1940 team nished No. 2.

Purdue beats W.Michigan in Badgers, Ducks invade Pizza Bowl with gutsy calls So Cal for Rose Bowl
By Larry Lage
DETROIT Purdue quarterback Caleb TerBush took the nal snap, sprinted to the sideline and handed the football to coach Danny Hope. Its a moment that weve been waiting for the last three years, Hope said. Perhaps empowered by getting a contract extension recently, Hope made the gutsy decision to go for two onside kicks in the rst half and both gambles paid off for the Boilermakers in a 37-32 win over Western Michigan on Tuesday night in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. We were going to do a third one, but they changed the way they lined up, Hope said. Im serious. In a game that seemed more silly than serious at times, 46,177 fans inside the home of the Detroit Lions were thoroughly entertained. It was a wild one, thats for sure, Hope said. Theres a saying in football, Were all here because were not all there. The Boilermakers (7-6) almost didnt win despite having a double-digit lead for two-plus quarters. Raheem Mostert returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown, third-string running back Reggie Pegram scored the rst two TDs of his career and Carson Wiggs made two eld goals to give Purdue a 27-15 lead at halftime. Wiggs also recovered one of his onside kicks, both of which he tapped toward a sideline after running at full speed as if he was trying to boot the ball deep. Two onside kicks really hurt us, Western Michigan coach Bill Cubit said. We never got a break on defense in the rst half. Purdue had another 12-point lead early in the fourth quarter, but the Big Ten team had to hold on for the win against the Mid-American Conference program. The Broncos (7-6) got the ball with a chance to go ahead, but their comeback hopes ended when quarterback Alex Carder fumbled for his fth turnover with just under 2 minutes left. Ryan Russell forced the nal fumble and Bruce Gaston recovered to seal the win. It was nerve-racking, Purdue linebacker Joe
Holland said. But as a defender, you want the game to come to you. The Boilermakers played in a bowl for the rst time since 2007, when they beat Central Michigan also in Detroit. Western Michigan, meanwhile, fell to 0-5 in postseason play. I thought wed win and walk out of here happy, Cubit said. Purdues Akeem Shavers ran for a career-high 148 yards on 22 carries, lling in for the injured Ralph Bolden, and was named the games MVP. TerBush was 8 of 13 for 101 yards with a 33yard touchdown pass to Gary Bush midway through the third quarter that put Purdue up 3418. Robert Marve was 6 of 7 for 76 yards with a 1-yard scoring pass to Pegram in the rst quarter. Purdue defensive end Gerald Gooden had two of his teams four interceptions, and gave back one of those two turnovers back to the Broncos in a game lled with miscues and missed opportunities for both teams. Western Michigans star receiver, Jordan White, who drew at least one NFL scout to watch him, caught 13 passes including a onehanded grab for 249 yards and a score. He was given a sixth season of eligibility this year because of injuries. Were about 10 points from being 10-3, said White, who set MAC marks for yards receiving in a season and career. I think we had all the pieces to the puzzle but we didnt make it happen on the eld. Carder was 31 of 57 for 413 yards with three TDs. But the junior matched a career high with four interceptions and gave up the ball a fth time to end the Broncos chances to rally in their homestate in front of tens of thousands of their fans. The Purdue contingent will go back across the border to Indiana happy, especially school ofcials who added two years to Hopes deal last week to keep him under contract through 2016. Big difference between being a bowl participant and a bowl champion, Hope said. It builds great momentum for our team and will give us a shot in the arm with recruiting and will energize our fan base. the position and a rst-time Pro Bowler. And to be thought of in that company by my peers, the head coaches and the fans who follow the NFL is something I take seriously. Fourteen teams from each conference were represented, with St. Louis (2-13) and Washington (5-10) drawing blanks in the NFC, Buffalo (6-9) and Tennessee (8-7) shut out in the AFC. Pittsburgh (11-4), New Orleans and Chicago (7-8) each had ve representatives. Three rookies were chosen: Denver linebacker Von Miller, Cincinnati receiver A.J. Green, and Arizona cornerback Patrick Peterson, selected as a kick return specialist. He has tied an NFL record with four punt runbacks for TDs this season. As Ive said before, A.J. is the best rstround draft pick that Ive ever been around, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. He has shown the other players in this league, and the fans, that he deserved this honor. I have not seen a receiver better than he is at getting to

ANAHEIM Although Aaron Henry meant no offense to Mickey Mouse or the Magic Kingdom, the Wisconsin safety thinks the Badgers and their opponents arent quite as dazzled by the Rose Bowls pomp and pageantry the second time around. No. 6 Oregon (11-2) and the ninth-ranked Badgers (11-2) descended on Disneyland on Tuesday for the traditional start to Rose Bowl week festivities, eagerly riding the teacups and posing for pictures with fans and costumed characters alike. Yet the Ducks and Badgers have both climbed this Matterhorn before: Wisconsin lost last seasons Rose Bowl to TCU, while Oregon lost two years ago to Ohio State. While the Rose Bowl week is packed with fun, its mostly about redemption for these conference champions. Last year, guys were thrilled to be here, and maybe a bit overwhelmed, too, said Henry, the Badgers senior leader. Some guys had never been out of Wisconsin, and then all of a sudden were staying in Beverly Hills and going out in Hollywood. Coming back here, the feeling is totally different. Well still have fun, but its all about business rst. Both teams basked in the warm sun on a Disney-perfect Orange County day, although Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema assured fans the weather was exactly the same back in Madison. With Bielema wearing ip-ops and Oregons Chip Kelly in plaid shorts, both coaches shook Mickeys big white hand before speaking of a mutual respect between two very different teams. Its always cool for the kids to experience the stuff that goes around a game like this, Kelly said. Its a special time in everybodys lives, so we make sure to get the full experience. We wont have trouble focusing on what we have to do. The Badgers welcomed a week away from the Wisconsin winter, starting with a trip to the Rose Bowl itself shortly after their plane landed Monday. While most of the players were there a year earlier, quarterback Russell Wilson got his rst trip to the fabled eld. The eld doesnt get any better than the grass the ball. All the kickers are from Bay Area teams. NFC special teamers included two 49ers: record-setting placekicker David Akers, and punter Andy Lee; Peterson; and Corey Graham of Chicago. For the AFC, the Sebastian Raiders Sebastian Janikowski Janikowski is the placekicker, Shane Lechler the punter. The kick return specialist is Pittsburgh WR Antonio Brown, and the special-teams player is Slater. NFC starters will be Rodgers, Eagles RB LeSean McCoy, Packers FB John Kuhn, Graham, Panthers C Ryan Kalil, Saints guards Jahri Evans and Carl Nicks, Eagles tackle Jason Peters and Staley, Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald and Lions WR Calvin Johnson on offense. On defense, it will be Vikings DE Jared
Last year,guys were thrilled to be here,and maybe a bit overwhelmed,too.Some guys had never been out of Wisconsin, and then all of a sudden were staying in Beverly Hills and going out in Hollywood.Coming back here,the feeling is totally different.Well still have fun,but its all about business rst.

they have, said Wilson, the remarkable transfer from North Carolina State. Its like youre playing on a par-5 on the PGA Tour. For the second straight year, the Badgers are preparing for the departure of a key assistant coach after the Rose Bowl. Offensive coordinator Paul Chryst landed the top job at Pittsburgh earlier this month, and Bielema conrmed Tuesday that Chryst will take offensive line coach Bob Bostad with him. Wisconsin came close to beating the unbeaten Horned Frogs last year, but emerged from the 2119 loss disappointed in their offenses production and their defenses ability to create turnovers. Tailback Montee Ball remembers the dual excitement and emptiness of last New Years Day. Were more experienced now, more mature, said Ball, the Heisman Trophy nalist. Last year, we came in with our eyes kind of wide at the whole L.A. lifestyle. Were not going to have the same experience this time. The Ducks echoed the Badgers thoughts about getting a second chance or even a third. Oregon has reached three consecutive BCS games, but was beaten in the rst two, including last years BCS title game loss to Auburn. Its exciting, but weve all been in big games over the last few years, said offensive lineman Darrion Weems, a Los Angeles-area native. We know what we have to do to be successful and get a win this time around. Were going to have fun, but were trying to win this game, not just play in it. Allen and Eagles DE Jason Babin, Cowboys DT Jay Ratliff and Smith, Packers OLB Clay Matthews and Cowboys OLB DeMarcus Ware, ILB Willis, Packers CB Charles Woodson and Rogers, Seahawks safety Earl Thomas and Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson. AFC starters will be Brady, Ravens RB Ray Rice and FB Vonta Leach, Gronkowski, Steelers C Maurkice Pouncey, Mankins and Waters at guard, Browns tackles Joe Thomas and Dolphins tackle Jake Long, Welker and Steelers WR Mike Wallace. On defense, it will be Broncos DE Elvis Dumervil replacing Carter, Colts DE Dwight Freeney, Wilfork and Ravens DT Haloti Ngata, Miller and Ravens OLB Terrell Suggs, Lewis, Jets CB Darrelle Revis and Broncos CB Champ Bailey, Steelers safety Troy Polamalu and Ravens safety Ed Reed. Players who make the Super Bowl will be replaced on the Pro Bowl rosters.

Panthers rookie QB Cam Newton, and Denver QB Tim Tebow. Suh might have lost support after drawing a two-game suspension for stomping an opponent, and Harrisons one-game suspension for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Browns QB Colt McCoy might have reduced his support. Fifteen rst-time Pro Bowlers made the NFC squad, including Rogers, Staley and safety Dashon Goldson of the 49ers. Thirteen AFC players were first-time selections, including Gronkowski, Carter and Slater of New England. Carter is on injured reserve (left quadriceps) and wont play. If you look around the NFC, you see a ton of amazing and talented players at tight end, said the Saints Jimmy Graham, the starter at

required more time to rehab and hasnt allowed me to resync with the offense. The 49ers conrmed Edwards release. I wish the 49ers organization the best of luck during the playoffs, Edwards said in a statement on his website. Braylon Edwards I will be working hard this off season to strengthen my knee and prepare for the 2012 season. Thanks for your continued support and for being such loyal fans. San Francisco needs to add a receiver. Ted Ginn Jr., is nursing a left ankle injury sustained on the second-half kickoff return against Pittsburgh on Dec. 19, while Kyle Williams went down with a head injury in last Saturdays 19-17 win at Seattle. Versatile tight end Delanie Walker also was hurt against the Seahawks, suffering a jaw injury; it is believed to be broken. The team

49ers release wideout Braylon Edwards

SAN FRANCISCO Braylon Edwards became a disappointment during an injuryplagued year during San Franciscos resurgent 2011 season. The struggling wide receiver was released by the 49ers on Tuesday three months after undergoing surgery on his right knee that limited him. Edwards tweeted the news early Tuesday, attributing the move to his injury, which
hopes to get him back for the playoffs. Coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday the team might look outside the organization this week to ll spots and that looks to be the case now heading into the regular-season nale Sunday at St. Louis. The 49ers are trying to secure the NFCs No. 2 seed a rst-round bye. Edwards had 15 catches for 181 yards and no touchdowns in eight games with ve starts for the NFC West champion 49ers (12-3) after receiving a $3.5 million, one-year contract in August.

Tiny desserts, bacon backlash shapes 2011

Or did it just feel that way? Because though only a tiny fraction of Americans suffer sensitivities to this wheat protein, the multibillion dollar industry of foods, cookbooks and magazines touting their glutenfree cred this year would suggest an epidemic. Didnt notice? Perhaps you were too busy chugging raw milk, herding your backyard ock of chickens and hunting down nearby sources for heirloom vegetables, all popular pastimes buoyed by growing demand for socalled local foods a market the government predicted this year would generate some $7 billion in sales. And so went the year in food, a period marked by some unusual dietary dichotomies. At the same time sharply rising food prices made it ever harder for American families to get dinner on the table, our nation was seized by an almost obsessive need to know just how many courses would be served at Prince Williams wedding. And how does one make that kooky chocolate biscuit groomsman cake? At least our government was mindful of its food dollars, right? Accusations that the Justice Department spent $16 per mufn at a breakfast conference turned out to be false. They spent $16.80 for a continental breakfast of pastries, fruit, coffee, tea, juice and, of course, mufns. Wait a minute ...
011: The year I ofcially became the last American to still eat gluten.
Isnt that what I get for free when I stay at a hotel? Meanwhile, Congress apparently wants to send plenty of cash to the potato and pizza industries. For this was the year our politicians blocked efforts to limit french fries in school cafeterias and declared the tomato sauce on slabs of pizza the equivalent of a vegetable. Add a ketchup chaser and its practically a salad. Maybe kids can get some healthy eating tips from Tony the Tiger and Toucan Sam. This fall, the government gave cartoon characters a hall pass when it comes to pushing sugary cereals and similar foods, caving to

food industry pressure while crafting guidelines aimed at toning down the marketing of junk food to kids. But childhood obesity remained on Michelle Obamas radar. The rst lady spent 2011 forging alliances with restaurants to offer healthier foods, and even enticed WalMart and other retailers to get more fresh and healthy items into regions where such foods are scarce. Just dont ask people where those ingredients fall on the food pyramid. Government health ofcials decided pyramids were too perplexing and scrapped them in favor of a new healthy eating icon, My Plate a circle divided into different sections for fruits, vegetables, protein and grains. Food safety also was a hot topic. Despite new regulations signed into law in January, the nation suffered its deadliest
known outbreak of food-borne illness in more than 25 years when listeria-contaminated cantaloupes sickened 146 people in 28 states, killing 30 of them. Worrisome obesity rates and food safety concerns didnt slow Americas fetishizing of food. We continued to swoon over food trucks, the more esoteric the better, even using Twitter to track the movements of our favorite mobile eateries. Dont have a truck cruising your hood yet? Dont worry, the moment has nearly passed. Meanwhile, foodies struggled to crown a new it food. Bacon and cupcakes have had their moment. Ditto for offal and ramps. Macaroons are trying, but fussy French cookies are an unlikely contender in this country. Nutella wants it bad, but probably wont quite get there. Meatballs are yummy, but its hard to get excited about a ball of meat. Tiny desserts also dont stand a chance, even if not especially with retailers pushing wafe iron-like countertop baking appliances for churning out small cupcakes, whoopee pies and cake pops. These devices were the chocolate fountains and turkey fryers of 2011. There will be lots of them under trees this year, all destined to be used once and never again. Speaking of foods its hard to get excited about, what is up with kale? People were tripping over themselves to buy or bake kale chips this year. And now fast food chain Chick-l-A is suing a Vermont man for selling Tshirts with the logo eat more kale. The company claims he is ripping off their ad slogan, Eat Mor Chikin.

Manager Larry Ivich has no reason to think Sears will close its department store there, which was an original tenant when the shopping center was rst opened by the Bohannons in 1954. We dont believe our store will be affected, Ivich told the Daily Journal yesterday. There is no reason to believe our store will close. But the general manager at Tanforan, Linda Larson, is not so sure. I was just reading the article about the closures, she said yesterday. Its new to me. I have no information. Sears was an original tenant at Tanforan when it rst opened in 1971. The store went through a major remodel in 1989 and was expanded in 2005, Larson said. Sears has long-term leases at both Hillsdale and Tanforan. The Kmart on Delaware Street and Concar Drive in San Mateo is already slated to be demolished as the city has approved a mixeduse residential development for the site called Station Park Green. Financing for the development is still being worked out, however, and the propertys ownership wants to keep Kmart in place until it is ready to start building on the site. I havent heard from Sears, said Alan Talansky with EBL&S Development. Wed like to keep it going until we demolish the building. The Delaware Kmart is doing well, Talansky said, and signed a lease extension. Whatever happens with Kmart, it will not stand in the way of developing Station Park Green, Talansky said. Sears Holding indicated yesterday that

Kmart stores across the country suffered a 4.4 percent decline this year, despite its holiday layaway program. Both Sears and Kmart reported weak consumer electronics sales and Sears saw a decline in home appliance sales this year, leading to a 6 percent drop in same-store revenue. Kmart was purchased out of bankruptcy in 2003 by investor Edward Lampert, who bought Sears, Roebuck & Co. the next year. Since 2004, however, Sears Holdings has seen its cash and short-term investments decline by more than $700 million. Economists announced the move by Sears Holdings added renewed worries about the companys survivability as its stock plunged 27 percent yesterday. The 125-year-old company was once the largest retailer in the United States. Kmart was founded in 1962.

Sears has two full-line stores in San Mateo County at the Shops at Tanforan in San Bruno and the Hillsdale Shopping Center in San Mateo and Kmart has stores in San Mateo and Redwood City. Whether the local stores will close has yet to be decided, according to the company. No individual closures have been announced at this time, according to Sears Holdings. The company, however, closed a full-line Sears store in Mountain View in recent months. But at Hillsdale, the centers General

working people too hard. The Democratic governor talked about his 2012 ballot proposal during an interview with reporters. He said the key to winning about $7 billion a year in additional revenue is persuading voters that its necessary to stabilize the states budget and that the leadership of California is behind it. He said if voters reject the temporary tax increases, the cuts will be very, very drastic. Theyre going to be unpleasant any way you look at it. California faces a $3 billion midyear revenue shortfall and is expected to face a $10 billion decit in the scal year that begins July 1, resulting in a $13 billion gap over the next 18 months. Brown will release his proposal for the next budget year by Jan. 10. He wants to raise income taxes on a sliding scale, starting with individuals who make more than $250,000 a year,
and boost the statewide sales tax by half a cent. The higher taxes would expire in 2017. Liberal interest groups are circulating competing ballot initiatives that would impose even higher taxes on the rich and set aside money only for schools. The governor said he hopes to persuade them to rally behind his plan, which he thinks strikes the right balance. Voters often reject initiatives when they are confusing or when too many of the same type are on the ballot. The liberals dont like the sales tax. More conservative people dont like to keep raising the income tax, Brown said. But I think for the next four or ve years its the most likely to pass. Its reasonable, particularly with all the concern about the growing inequality, and I also think everybody has to be part of the solution. Brown said business leaders with whom he has spoken have voiced support, as have some wealthy political donors. I did nd that in talking to very wealthy people, they dont get overly excited about increasing their taxes, with some exceptions, he said. I talked to Rob pipe. However, the degree of the bend was supposed to be smaller than was installed. The larger bend 70 degrees instead of 37 degrees created more movement. As a result, bolts came loose and pressure caused cracks to two fourinch meters. Exponent has recommended that all parties involved reevaluate their process of checking lines before making them operational again. A leak was rst detected where a 12inch water supply pipeline connected to a 60-inch pipeline on Elm Street and Park Way at about 9:45 a.m. Friday, Nov. 25, PUC Director of Communications Tyrone Jue said previously.
Reiner, he was very excited about paying more taxes, and I talked to a few others. But generally, theyre more willing to tolerate it than embrace it. Reiner, a Democrat, has put his money behind previous ballot measures to raise money for schools and early childhood programs. At one time, he irted with the idea of running for the states highest ofce and was a vocal critic of former Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. California Republican Party Chairman Tom Del Beccaro criticized the governor in a news release sent before Browns Tuesday interview, saying the governor had wasted his rst year in ofce and lost credibility with voters. In particular, he criticized Browns attempt to extend previously approved increases to the sales, income and vehicle taxes. Those temporary increases were approved in 2009 but expired this year after Republicans refused to continue them. He threatened Californians with the scal nightmare of draconian cuts to education and services if we didnt adopt his poorly conceived, and economically bad, tax increases, Del Beccaro said. Between 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. Nov. 25, what was rst a small leak turned into a geyser shooting water 60 feet into the air. Emergency responders initially couldnt get within 20 feet of the rupture because of the amount of water gushing from the break. Between 1 million and 2 million gallons of water poured into the neighborhood before the water was totally shut off at about 12:55 p.m. Claims were made for damages to six home, sections of surrounding sidewalk and public and private landscaping and nine vehicles, said Ritchie. Costs associated with city staff helping is not yet known.

T-shirt could get most Americans to embrace kale. Which means 2012 may well be a year in which foodies dont have a star ingredient. Oh, wait. Were not supposed to call them foodies. Theywho-gush-over-pretentious-foods this year decided they are too hip for that down market term. Some have started favoring culinarian. Really? My eyes hurt from rolling. And I pledge to continue using foodie with abandon. And that wasnt the only offensive term slung in 2011. Inspired by Alec Baldwins Saturday Night Live skit about a baker named Pete Schweddy, ice cream maker Ben & Jerrys released a new avor called Schweddy Balls vanilla ice cream studded with fudge-covered rum balls. Not everyone was amused and some grocers refused to stock it. The food publishing world continued to bustle. Bon Appetit magazine got a new editor-in-chief, Adam Rapoport, as well as some heat for his decision to put a person Gwyneth Paltrow on the 55-year-old magazines cover for the rst time in decades. Which puts Gwyneth in the same class as culinary icon James Beard. Plenty of foodies objected to that.

Lighten up cold weather with soup

hicken noodle soup may have a reputation for helping us beat the winter sniffles, but that doesnt make it health food. Processed varieties, for example, can be loaded with calories, fat and sodium. And dont even get me started on the lack of flavor and hunks of tough chicken. In my recipe for chicken noodle soup, I sidestep all these liabilities. I simmer the soup with real chicken and fresh vegetables, like carrots and onions, which are a great source of vitamins. The more veggies you add, the more nutrients you get. Like many chicken noodle soups, mine is based on broth instead of cream, which saves on fattening calories. And I add thyme for flavor, negating the need for excess salt. Soup is one of those foods classified as low energy dense. This mean you can eat a lot of it and fill up without consuming a lot of calories. Rather than add carb-rich noodles, Ive used Shirataki noodles. Theyre made from konnyaku, a dough of Asian yam (konjac) flour and water. Shirataki noodles are a superb pasta substitute; each serving has 20 calories or fewer, plus 2 grams of fiber. Theyre low on the glycemic index too, so they wont send your blood sugar through the roof. These noodles also are gluten-free. If you cant find them in the store, go to miraclenoodle.com. But dont substitute with tofu Shirataki, which are not as good. Each 1 1/2 cup portion of this soup has an incredibly low 93 calories and 3 grams of fat. If youre feeling really hungry, go ahead and eat two portions and youll still be under 200 calories! Traditional versions can have up to 560 calories and 18 grams of fat per serving.
spices to take the flavor in any direction you like. Some soy sauce, ginger and bok choy or miso and mushrooms, or even some kimchee and peas are great (and healthy) ways to keep it interesting.

Remove the chicken thighs from the soup and place on a cutting board. Remove and discard the bones. Shred the chicken meat, then return it to the soup along with the noodles and Old Bay Seasoning.

You can make your own stock if you like by simmering chicken bones or parts in water with onions, celery, garlic and carrots. After simmering, strain out and discard the solids, then chill. The fat will solidify on the surface and is easily scraped off and discarded. The flavor of homemade stock is much better than purchased. Plus, you control how much salt is added.

American chefs boost fine dining in France

By Jenny Barchfield
PARIS Paris, once regarded as the gastronomical center of the world, is looking to a cadre of young chefs from a country derided for its love of processed cheese gasp, the United States to help raise the bar. French chefs have been opening fine restaurants stateside for years, but up until about a decade ago, the opposite would have been almost unthinkable. Now, bright young things from New York, Chicago and Seattle are behind some of the City of Lights mosthyped, hardest-to-get-into establishments. Chefs such as Springs Daniel Rose, or Braden Perkins and Laura Adrian, the pair behind the Hidden Kitchen and the new Verjus, are bringing a fresh energy to Paris somewhat rigid fine dining scene and infusing it with American eclecticism. Food in France has taken a lot of hits over the years ... and they were pretty slow to acknowledge that it was going downhill, said pastry chef-turned-writer David Lebovitz, one of a handful of American food bloggers who cover the Paris food scene. I think were now on the cusp of a real renaissance here thanks in part, he said, to this nouvelle crop of American-born or trained restaurateurs. It used to be that French-American culinary exchanges followed the model established by Julia Child in the era when: Americans came to France to study and then went home to impart their wisdom, or simply to cook. Child attended Paris renowned Cordon Bleu culinary school in the 1940s, then returned to the U.S. to educate her compatriots on the art of French cuisine. The new generation of American chefs here has dispensed with the going home part. Rose, the 30-something behind Spring Paris hardest-to-come-by table, according to Le Figaro newspaper moved here as a 19year-old college student primarily, he says, out of laziness.
Though underground restaurants are not unheard-of elsewhere, the Hidden Kitchen was a novelty here, and even the French press lavished them with praise: Le Figaros review called it quite chic and clearly successful its fully booked for months.
I wanted to finish university in a place where I thought it would be really easy. And I thought, the American University of Paris English is my first language, its not everyone elses, I probably have a pretty good chance, said Rose. He said he went to cooking school for largely the same reason. After a series of apprenticeships with top French chefs, he opened the first incarnation of Spring, a 16-seat restaurant where the centerpiece was an open kitchen where Rose held court as he prepared the food singlehandedly at first. Everybody in the world loves a French restaurant and my project was to try to discover what was essential about a French restaurant. ... And by paring it down to the essence, I was feeding (my clients) French food that they hadnt seen in a long time, said Rose in an interview in Springs new 28seat location, near the Louvre Museum. It was a novelty. I was the American who opened the restaurant that all the French people wanted to open. Rose has the reputation of being the French-est of Paris American chefs, and the menu at Spring is unapologetically Gallic: Theres no Franco-American fusion, none of the catering to special dietary needs thats become almost de rigueur in the U.S. just a constantly changing medley of French classics made from top-notch, in-season products. Taking the opposite tack is Marc Grossman, a New York filmmaker-turnedrestaurateur who has set about
Americanizing the way the French eat. In the land of the cote de boeuf, foie gras and escargot, Grossman founded two vegetarian eateries, Bobs Juice Bar and Bobs Kitchen. I think people are always looking for something different and in carnivorous Paris I guess you could say were exotic, said Grossman, whose ever-changing menu of smoothies, meat-free burgers, and grainpacked muffins were the stuff of a minor culinary revolution when he first opened, in 2006. From the beginning, the response has been enthusiastic, and our customers have been unusually regular. Seattle natives Perkins and Adrian represent the middle path between Roses unyielding Frenchness and Grossmans healthy California-style offerings. At their new postage stamp-sized wine bar and just-opened upstairs restaurant, Verjus, the pair serves up amuse-bouches that chart an ideal course between French sophistication and American heartiness. The wine bar menu includes buttermilk fried chicken, roasted clams, and smores made with highend French chocolate. Perkins and Adrian shot to culinary fame here in 2007, when they opened the Hidden Kitchen, the now-closed supper club the pair held twice a week in their central Paris pad. Though underground restaurants are not unheard-of elsewhere, the Hidden Kitchen was a novelty here, and even the French press lavished them with praise: Le Figaros review called it quite chic and clearly successful its fully booked for months. The Anglo-Saxon influence is often palpable at top restaurants here, even when the chefs themselves are not Americans. Gregory Marchand, the Frenchman behind the aptly named Frenchie restaurant, cut his teeth in New York and London, where he worked for telegenic chef Jamie Oliver, before returning to France. Known for its market cooking, Frenchie competes with Spring for the top spot among Paris contemporary tables.

and manufacturing. Gordons priority areas since taking ofce have been education, the environment and government reform. He said his 2011 bills and his plans for the future reect that. His other successful laws include incentives for local governments to develop renewable energy projects to offset energy costs at separate buildings. He also authored a bill to reauthorize the waste tire grant program and require CalRecycle to provide outreach in hopes of diverting tires from state landlls. Another law extension continues exempting work by volunteers, like beach cleanup crews, from the public works wage requirement for another ve years. Another bill extends a tax exemption for property used exclusively to preserve natural resources or open space. A Gordon-authored bill requires schools regulated by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education to disclose limitations related to unaccredited degrees to better protect consumers from predatory practices in recruitment and student loans. Specic to San Mateo County, the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District is allowed up to 30 years rather than the current 20 to repay debt in form of promissory notes which is estimated to provide up to 20 percent more purchasing funds. Corporations and limited liability corporations will be able to receive notices from the Secretary of States Ofce via email beginning Jan. 1 and the Healthy Start program will be given grants again once funding is available. Local assessors, tax collectors and auditors will be able to increase the fees for preparing documents and the Local Agency Formation Commission will more easily be able to dissolve obsolete special districts. The California Building Standards Commission must have at least one member experienced in sustainable design and construction and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority is authorized to implement express lanes, courtesy of Gordon. Another new law lets the state retain unobligated federal transportation funds it would otherwise lose by using them on ready-to-go projects and later use bond revenue to repay the funds to the State Highway Account. tion lets counties tap additional federal funds for health insurance without cost to the state and extends the Financial Elder Abuse Reporting Act requiring bank employees to report suspected cases. Simitian also continued his commitment to consumer privacy protection by requiring state agencies and businesses to notify the Attorney Generals Ofce if more than 500 Californians are affected by a data breach. Simitians privacy protection efforts also extended to electronic content under a law proposed by Cupertino library law consultant Mary Minow in the 2011 law contest. His remaining laws include expansion of the California Capital Access Program, which encourages banks to make loans to small businesses, spurs investment in California bonds and reauthorizes until 2018 two popular tax check-off funds authorized by Simitians 2007 legislation: the State Childrens Trust Fund for the Prevention of Child Abuse and the Rare and Endangered Species Preservation Program.

in the vicinity. Hill has two San Bruno-spurred laws. The first requires remote controlled shutoff valves in high population areas and prohibits utilities from using rate payer money to pay safety violation penalties assessed by the California Public Utilities Commission. Natural gas corporations are also required to meet annually with local re departments to review emergency response plans. The second bill exempts San Bruno residents from paying state taxes on recovery money they received from PG&E, the Red Cross and the city of San Bruno. Hills work also means judges can now suspend a drivers license for 10 years after his or her third conviction for driving while intoxicated. Currently, the limit is three years and the Department of Motor Vehicles is charged with the suspension authority. If every judge now uses this discretion, more than 10,000 repeat DUI offenders could be taken off state roads annually, according to Hills ofce. Judges also have discretion to recognize paternity for non-biological parents who have an established relationship with a child. Previously, courts could not recognize such a parent even if the biological father had no connection with his offspring.

Yees other bills update the California Public Records Act to include auxiliary organizations and foundations that work with the states public universities and allows citizens to register to vote via the Internet. Government agencies will need a court order to access consumers reading records from bookstores and online retailers because of Senate Bill 602 and an automotive repair dealer who knowingly fails to fully repair and restore an auto air bag faces a $5,000 ne and/or a year in prison. Workers will be ensured prevailing wages on energy service contracts of public agencies and Yee succeeded in declaring Firefighter Memorial Day and Sunshine Week. These laws will increase government transparency, protect consumers, safeguard our communities, support working families and get more people involved in our democracy, Yee said in a prepared statement. Seven of eight new laws authored by Speaker pro Tempore Fiona Ma, D-San Francisco, kick in next Sunday. Ma said the batch of legislation builds on her previous two terms where she focused on creating jobs, securing funding for education and public safety and improving the quality of life in San Mateo and San Francisco neighborhoods.
Lower retirement rates for sheriffs

Hills bills will also let San Mateo County implement a memorandum of understanding providing lower retirement tiers for new employees in the Deputy Sheriffs Association, cracks down on fraudulent solicitations by letting the Secretary of State refuse to process such documents and claries that the real party in interest named in a California Environmental Quality Act lawsuit as those involved in the project or permit. California, in conjunction with other states, will now award all of its electoral votes to the winner of the popular vote under Hills bill but it does not take effect until a majority of states follow suit. Another bill is already under way an emergency measure clarifying the types of nancing used for people to install solar on their homes and make the state more competitive in luring solar rms. One example, according to Hill, is Maryland-based SunEdison which relocated its headquarters to Belmont this year. Hill said he is honored the bills are becoming state law. My hope is that they improve the safety and quality of life for my constituents and all Californians, he said in a prepared statement.

Beginning Jan. 1, California will be the rst state banning the sale of overthe-counter cold and cough medications containing dextromethorphan to minors thanks to state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto. One in 10 minors have reported using DXM to get high and the abuse is growing according to WebMD and the Consumer Healthcare Productions Association. Simitian said his bill will limit how young people obtain medicine that can be as dangerous as abusing alcohol and other drugs. By putting age limitations on these drugs, were communicating to kids and their parents that when used inappropriately these are dangerous drugs with serious consequences, Simitian said. The law was the winning entry in Simitians 2004 There Oughta Be a Law contest from Wayne Benitez and Ron Lawrence, both with the Palo Alto Police Department at the time. The bill stalled in 2004 but Simitian successfully reintroduced it earlier this year. Violations will be an infraction and the law provides an exception for minors with a prescription. Yee also touched on pharmacies, authoring a bill allowing pharmacies to sell sterile syringes to an adult without a prescription in hopes of curbing the spread of blood-borne diseases and viruses. Simitians other bills aimed at establishing California as a renewable energy leader by requiring private and public utilities to obtain 33 percent of their electricity from sources like solar, wind and geothermal by 2020. Other legisla-
Sashas Law
In response to drug-related teen deaths at dance parties and raves, Ma created Sashas Law which requires anyone promoting an event on state property to create an Event Action Plan when a fairground governing board thinks there is a threat to life. Ma also authored a ban on alcoholic beverage sale at self-service checkout stands so that a grocery clerk must have a face-to-face transaction much like the sales of cigarettes, spray paint and prescription drugs. Her bill promoting Filipino veteran curriculum will affect children in grades seven to 12. They will learn about this quickly diminishing population as, according to Mas ofce, there are only 17 such veterans alive today. The goal is to keep their contributions alive before they are lost in history. Retired certied public accountants will get their own designation throughout the California Board of Accountancy to prevent the cancellation or surrendering of their licenses and the Medical Board of California will be required to publish only factual proven information on medical accusations and investigations. Another law provides market certainty for electric vehicle charging stations for the states consumer eet while promoting consumer demand through infrastructure investments. Another extends a pilot program in San Francisco which issues parking tickets via forward facing cameras on buses to doubleparked vehicles.
Elder protection
Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, is particularly proud of his law to protect the elderly and dependent adults from nancial abuse in conservatorships. Its pretty important and protecting our vulnerable seniors is something cool to do, Gordon said. The bill closes probate loopholes and gives the public guardian more power by expanding its scope to include control of assets held in nancial trusts and extends from 15 to 30 the number of days for temporary possession of property. Gordon said his bill on plastic recycling has potential for some good longterm impact, allowing us to benecially reuse plastic and create California jobs. That bill, rening the plastic market development program, extends the sunset date for the existing law authorizing CalRecycle to pay up to $150 per ton for empty plastic beverage containers. By promoting recycling, Gordon said the bill will grow new jobs in that industry
