A San Mateo County Superior Court judge
Monday refused to set an execution date for a
condemned inmate whose appeals have
expired, saying she did not have authority to
override other courts wrangling with ques-
tions over lethal injection.
Judge Barbara Mallach did not elaborate on
her decision but the ruling rendered moot any
further discussion yesterday on whether the
California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation is able to use a single-drug
method rather than the controversial three-
drug protocol that has essentially put execu-
tions on hold.
Prosecutors said prior to Mondays hearing
they didnt anticipate a judge going ahead
with a date for Robert Green Fairbank, who
has spent 27 of his 58 years on Death Row for
the 1985 torture and murder of San Francisco
graduate student Wendy Cheek. Challenges to
lethal injection remain tied up in court and
although prosecutor Joe Cannon yesterday
argued Mallach did actually have the authori-
ty to issue her own order she instead echoed
the direction taken by a Los Angeles judge
similarly asked to issue a death warrant based
on the use of a one-drug method. As in that
case, defense attorneys argued that judges
cannot overrule other court orders staying
lethal injection until the courts resolve the
matter.
Were not writing on a blank slate here,
said federal public defender Mark
Drozdowski, one of the four attorneys appear-
ing for Fairbank.

Bail increasedfor
murder suspect
in weapons case
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The prime suspect in a San Mateo murder two years ago had
his $150,000 bail more than tripled on three unrelated
weapons charges led by prosecutors to
hold him in jail after a judge threw out his
confession and dismissed the more serious
case.
Gregory Leon Elarms Sr., 60, has not
posted bail set last week for his case on
three counts of possessing weapons in the
county jail but prosecutor Ivan
Nightengale said the increased amount is
necessary to ensure public safety and, at a
hearing yesterday, pointed to now-sup-
pressed confession as proof of prior acts of violence and
threats of violence.
The bulk of Mondays bail hearing focused on whether the
dismissed interview could be a factor for bail even though
Elarms isnt currently charged with murder and his confession

Patty and Jim Coyer knew what they
wanted from a school a community.
The family from San Diego first
moved to the South Bay and their chil-

While it was a good school, it didnt pro-

We wanted a well-rounded experi-

But Friday he said he wouldnt provide

wise in good condition. The Olveys
already had recovered their other three
pets.
The family lives next door to the house
where the blast is believed to have origi-

Glenn Olvey says the blast hurled him
several feet and trapped him, his wife and
one of their two teenage daughters when
their roof collapsed.
Shelters are housing several recovered
pets.

With an uptick in grafti in San Mateo in
recent months, city workers have been spend-
ing an awful lot of time painting over it.
Since those maintenance workers are need-
ed elsewhere for more pressing city needs, the
Department of Public Works Streets and
Facilities Division is looking to contract out
the service as a more cost-effective and ef-
cient way to combat the nuisance.
Under the contract approach, grafti can be
abated within a 24- to 48-hour period while it
may currently take up to seven days or more
for a city worker to cover up grafti, said Matt
Bronson, interim streets and facilities manag-
er.
Bronson is looking to improve the citys
response time to abate grafti by seeking a
rm that specializes in the job and let the
Public Works employees go back to the work
in which they specialize.
Councilman Jack Matthews likes the idea of
abating grafti quicker as a way to deter the
vandals from coming back and also wants
stricter enforcement so that the vandals will be
the ones who pay for abatement.
Matthews favors the city conducting a
request for proposals from outside contractors
to determine whether the model would work
for the city as it does elsewhere in cities such
as San Jose.
Until April of this year, the citys average
response time to abate grafti was just more
than two days but the response time increased
dramatically to nearly 14 days in July through
September and the city removed only 38 per-
cent of reported grafti within seven days dur-
ing the quarter, according to a staff report to
the City Council presented at a special study
session last night.
To abate grafti within two days, a contract
would likely be required or more staff would
need to be hired, according to the staff report.
The city could also look for more ways for
the public to report grafti locations in addi-
tion to using the grafti hotline, according to
the staff report.
The city has made abatement a priority but
covering up the grafti is only a part of its
effort to stop the crime. Police are now look-
ing to catch the offenders in the act and pun-
ish them appropriately and a code enforce-
ment effort is also under way to get private
property owners to remove the grafti.
Conducting an RFP process would give the
council a good idea of what the annual cost
would be to abate grafti through a contract.
To report grafti call the Grafti Hotline at
(650) 522-7300.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Criminal proceedings are on hold for a teen
carjacking suspect after his attorney expressed
doubts about his competency to stand trial for
allegedly kidnapping a car seller using a fake
gun and driving the bound man around Daly
City.
Two court-appointed doctors will now eval-
uate Jeremy Jenkins, 20, to decide if he should
be hospitalized or tried on charges of carjack-
ing, kidnapping during a carjacking and sec-
ond-degree robbery. Those reports and a deci-
sion are due Dec. 28.
Jenkins is accused of carjacking the seller of
a Mustang after responding to the mans
Craigslist in April. After returning to the Daly
City BART station from the test drive, Jenkins
allegedly pulled a replica handgun and
ordered the 26-year-old man to handcuff him-
self. Jenkins pulled a pillowcase over the
mans head and placed him in the back seat
and demanded the pink slip, according to the
District Attorneys Ofce.
When the man said the pink slip was at
home, Jenkins allegedly drove around for 20
minutes before pulling into a garage and hav-
ing the man call his mother. The woman, sens-
ing something was amiss when asked to bring
the pink slip to the BART station, called 911.
The police waited at the BART parking lot
and when Jenkins arrived detained him at gun-
point. After his arrest, Jenkins told authorities
he made a stupid mistake, according to
prosecutors.
Jenkins remains in custody without bail.

Creating a vision for the San Bruno transit
corridor will take a possible move forward
tonight as the Planning Commission will hold
a public hearing on the topic.
Work to create a plan to support the down-
town started in the fall of 2008 but was side-
lined in 2010. Efforts to get the plan in place
are moving forward again. Despite the inter-
ruption in planning, the goals remain to pro-
mote downtown as a destination while
enhancing local character and economic vital-
ity. The vision to be discussed includes
embracing the eclectic architecture of San
Mateo Avenue, creating large mixed-use
building to drive trafc into the area and cre-
ating a cultural home to the many ethnic
groups that call San Bruno home.
Increased heights will help the city bring in
the mixed-use programs it seeks. San Bruno
currently has an overall height limit for build-
ings of 50 feet or three stories, whichever is
more restrictive. Plans over that height limit,
like The Crossing project on El Camino Real
just north of Interstate 380, must get voter
approval. Within the plan are ideas to raise
height limits in downtown to four stories or 55
feet, up to ve stories on El Camino Real and
San Bruno Avenue, and up to seven stories at
the old San Bruno Lumber site near the
Caltrain station. Those height increases
require setbacks so buildings dont appear to
tower over the area.
Once built out, the plan would allow for the
development of up to 1,610 housing units,
147,7000 square feet of retail use, 988,100
square feet of ofce uses and 190 hotel rooms
over 20 years, according to a staff report.
Compared to the current general plan, thats
an increase of 890 housing unites, 19,100
square feet of retail, 666,600 square feet of
ofce and 190 hotel rooms.
If approved by the commission, the plan
will be forwarded to the City Council.
At the same meeting, the commission will
hold a public hearing about plans to allow a
used car dealership to open at 675 El Camino
Real. The site, most previously home to the
Sloat Garden Center, was also the former
home to a Ford dealership.
The commission meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov.
20 at the Senior Center, 1555 Crystal Springs
Road.

A man was stabbed and another was arrest-
ed at a party celebrating a baptism in
Redwood City on Saturday night, police said
Monday.
Ofcers responded at 10:21 p.m. Saturday
to a report of a ght in progress involving sev-
eral people at Highland Community Club,
located at 1665 Fernside St.
They arrived and detained a suspect armed
with a folding pocketknife as well as several
other people involved in
the altercation. Police then
learned that a stabbing vic-
tim had been taken to a
hospital.
The victim, a 24-year-
old man, was stabbed in
his lower abdomen and left
forearm. He is expected to
survive, according to
police.
Investigators believe the victim and the sus-
pect with the knife, later identied as Yazmani
Moreno Ramirez, 28, got into an argument on
the clubs dance oor shortly before the alter-
cation and stabbing.
Ramirez apparently felt the victim had dis-
respected his wife, police Sgt. Sean Hart said.
Ramirez was booked into San Mateo
County Jail on suspicion of assault with a
deadly weapon, police said.
The other people detained following the
altercation were later released, Hart said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO California sold out
of the rst pollution permits issued as part of a
landmark offensive against greenhouse gases at
an inaugural auction that regulators said
Monday went smoothly.
The effort to curtail carbon emissions
involved the sale of 23.1 million permits
each allowing for the release of one ton of car-
bon for $10.09 apiece, the California Air
Resources Board said.
The permit sales last week opened the largest
carbon marketplace in the nation and the sec-
ond-biggest in the world after the European
Union. The California air board will hold four
such auctions a year.
By putting a price on carbon, we know we
are beginning the process of breaking our
dependence on fossil fuels, Mary Nichols,
board chairman, said during a conference call
with reporters.
The board would not divulge specic gures
on how many permits were bought by individ-
ual polluters covered under newly instituted
caps on carbon emissions. The board does not
comment on bidding activity to protect each
polluters strategy regarding use of the carbon
market, Nichols said.
However, a sampling of the more than 300
companies that are covered include utilities
such as Pacic Gas & Electric Co., petroleum
reners such as Phillips 66 Co. and even food
processing companies such as Saputo Cheese
USA Inc.
Blair Jones, a spokesman for Pacic Gas &
Electric, said the company is satised with the
process based on what weve observed. He
said he couldnt comment on whether PG&E
participated in the auction due to restrictions in
the cap and trade regulations.
The board said participation in the auction
was robust, with three times more bids submit-
ted than allowances available for sale.
Robert Day, a partner at Boston-based clean
tech investment rm Black Coral Capital, said
the high number of bids showed that
Californias carbon market is legitimate.
As an investor, I take a lot of comfort that
this was for real, was done right and will con-
tinue into the future, Day said
The permits are part of Californias so-called
cap-and-trade program a central piece of
the states 2006 global warming regulations
seeking to dramatically reduce emissions of
heat-trapping gases.
Businesses are required to either cut emis-
sions to cap levels annually, or buy pollution
permits called allowances from other compa-
nies for each extra ton of emissions discharged
annually. The cap and number of allowances
will decline over time in an effort to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions year-by-year.
The nal price for 2013 allowances was just
nine cents above the $10 minimum price set by
regulators.
The fact that the prices are clearing a little
above the reserve is a good sign that peoples
fears about out of control costs for cleanup are
not justied by the way the market actually
worked, Nichols said.
About 97 percent of the allowances were
bought by companies regulated under the pro-
gram, and another 3 percent were bought by
nancial traders for later sale.
Nearly 40 million permits for 2015 a year
when cap-and-trade widens to include more
entities were made available in the rst auc-
tion.

Alameda County
Assistant Public Defender
David Klaus said the psy-
chiatrist interviewed One
Goh and several of his rel-
atives and determined that
Goh, 44, suffers from paranoid schizophrenia
that dates back several years.
The condition is so deeply rooted that it
causes Goh to distrust people, including those
trying to help him.
Hes got a deep and xed delusional sys-
tem. Its based in religious beliefs around the
battle between God and Satan and his role in
that battle, Klaus said about Goh. Hes
deeply paranoid and trusts no one. I think this
condition is really central to this entire story.
A judge last month ordered the evaluation
from two psychiatrists after Klaus said Goh
refused to speak to him. A second psychiatric
evaluation has not occurred, Klaus said.
Goh is charged with seven counts of mur-
der and three counts of attempted murder in
the April 2 attack at Oikos University in
Oakland.

Man sought after
teen girl says he asked
her to get into his car
Police are looking for a man
suspected of driving alongside a
14-year-old girl and asking her to
get into his car before driving
away in San Bruno last week,
police said.
The girl reported to police on
Thursday that she was walking
east on Angus Avenue near San
Mateo Avenue at about 3:45 p.m.
Tuesday when a tan-colored, four-
door sedan drove up next to her,
police said.
The driver of the car greeted the
juvenile, requested that she get
into his vehicle and briefly contin-
ued to drive alongside her after
she did not answer him, police
said.
The man then drove away and
the girl lost sight of him in the
area of Angus and Huntington
avenues, according to police.
The victim described the sus-
pect as a white or Hispanic man in
his 30s with slicked back black
hair and a clean-cut appearance.
The incident is still under inves-
tigation and San Bruno police urge
anyone with information about it
to contact the department at (650)
616-7100.
Three arrested for door
knock residential burglary
San Mateo police arrested two
juveniles and an adult for residen-
tial burglary Sunday evening in
the 200 block of Woodbridge
Circle and believe the crime may
be linked to at least seven other
recent and similar burglaries in the
city.
At approximately 6:40 p.m.,
police were called to a burglary in
progress in the Laurie Meadows
neighborhood and established a
perimeter with air support from
the California Highway Patrol.
Two suspects were quickly
detained and third was detained a
short while later. The adult was
identified as Salvador Gonzalez of
San Mateo. The two juveniles
were 15 and 13, according to
police.
Door knock burglaries are when
a suspect knocks on the front door
and enters the home through a
separate entrance when no one
answers the door.
Promotion leads to
increase in cat adoptions
During the five weeks since the
Peninsula Humane Society and
SPCA began waiving adoption
fees for cats and kittens, 282 have
been placed into new homes.
This marks a 52 percent
increase compared to the same
five-week period last year when
PHS/SPCA had regular adoption
fees and placed 185 cat/kittens
into new homes, according to a
press release sent out by the non-
profit Monday. Shelter staff will
continue the no-fee adoption
promotion indefinitely. Until the
promotion began, regular adoption
fees were $80 for most cats; $50
for cats 7 years old or older and
$95 for kittens under 6 months.
While adopters are no longer
charged a fee, PHS/SPCA still has
an adoption process which
includes having adopters complete
a one-page profile and meet with
an adoption counselor to discuss
the animal, basic health and care
and responsible ownership.
And, as is always the case,
PHS/SPCA encourages donations
in any amount at the time of the
adoption to help offset expenses.
The shelter currently has close
to 80 cats and kittens awaiting
homes. In addition, more cats are
being held at PHS/SPCAs intake
facility at Coyote Point, 12
Airport Blvd., and will be moved
to the new center as soon as space
allows. For more information visit
www.PHS-SPCA.org.

Menlo School 10th grade students, along with student visitors from partner school Nanyang Girls High School
in Singapore,held a community service day at InnVisions Georgia Travis Center in San Jose on Thursday,Nov.15.
All sophomore classes were suspended for a day so that students could prepare and serve a Thanksgiving meal
for the clients, in addition to beautifying the center by sorting and organizing donated clothes, cleaning the
center and planting outside.This Day of Harvest is an annual Menlo School partnership with InnVision.
M
ore than 300 students,
teachers and parents
from Portola
Elementary School in San Bruno
trekked up Sweeney Ridge on the
morning or Thursday, Nov. 1 to
highlight the importance of physical
tness and to raise money for the
school.
A school-wide tradition started 28
years ago by retired teacher Mike
Casey, each year the school hikes up
the ridge to the place where the
schools namesake, Gaspar de
Portola, discovered the San
Francisco Bay in 1769. In 2010, the
school renamed the Sweeney Ridge
Hike in honor of Casey, who contin-
ues to tutor students at Portola two
days a week.
The hike is the culmination of
Portolas main fundraiser, known as
the Hike-a-Thon. During the month
of October, students collected dona-
tions to support the schools PTA.
This year, the Hike-a-Thon is
expected to raise more than $55,000,
which will be used to help fund the
schools physical education and
music programs, instructional aides,
technology, classroom reading mate-
rials, after-school tutoring, field
trips, assemblies and library materi-
als.

Emma Ligtenberg, an eighth
grader at the San Carlos Charter
Learning Center, has organized a
walkathon to help Chris Mahoney,
principal/director at her school. The
walkathon, called Keep Calm and
Liver On, is scheduled for 9 a.m.
Saturday, Dec. 8 at Burton Park.
The walkathon is organized to raise
money to support Mahoneys med-
ical needs and to raise awareness for
the value of organ donation.
Mahoney suffers from a rare liver
disease that requires a transplant. In
March 2012, his blood suddenly
stopped clotting and he was rushed
to the emergency room. After two
weeks and multiple tests, the spe-
cialists at UCSF informed Mahoney
that his liver was failing. Mahoneys
only option now is a liver transplant.
Mahoney and his family are strug-
gling under the burden of heavy
medical expenses. His long-term ill-
nesses have made it impossible to
qualify for both life insurance and
disability insurance.
In addition to the walkathon, food,
live music and a silent auction will
also be held at Burton Park. All
funds raised will go the Chris
Mahoney fund. For more informa-
tion visit

FRESNO Californias landmark
Proposition 2 said chickens in cages
must be able to stand up and stretch their
wings without touching cage walls.
Whether that means one chicken at a
time or a bunch at once is the impetus
behind the third lawsuit led by egg
farmers since passage of the ballot meas-
ure.
A group of egg farmers sued
California late Friday in Fresno County
Superior Court, saying the statute is
unconstitutionally vague.
The legal action came on the heels of
a federal court decision in August on a
similar claim in which the judge upheld
the law.
If we cant get clarity on what Prop 2
means, the number of producers will go
down signicantly and then the cost of
eggs will go up, said attorney Dale
Stern, who is representing about three-
quarters of state producers in the
Association of California Egg Farmers.
The 2008 initiative sponsored by the
Humane Society of the United States
was intended to free chickens from the
cramped, bare-wire cages used by most
producers and that provided less oor
space than a standard sheet of paper.
The law, which goes into effect in
January 2015, says chickens must be
able to engage in natural behaviors
such as roosting and scratching and
should be able to stand up and stretch
their wings.
State egg producers sue again over cage law

NEW YORK Chimpanzees going
through a midlife crisis? It sounds like a
setup for a joke. But there it is, in the
title of a report published Monday in a
scientific journal: Evidence for a
midlife crisis in great apes.
So what do these apes do? Buy red
Ferraris? Leave their mates for some
cute young bonobos? Uh, no.
I believe no ape has ever purchased a
sports car, said Andrew Oswald, an
author of the study. But researchers
report that captive chimps and orang-
utans do show the same low ebb in emo-
tional well-being at midlife that some
studies nd in people.
That suggests the human tendency
toward midlife discontent may have
been passed on through evolution, rather
than resulting simply from the hassles of
modern life, said Oswald, a professor of
economics at the University of Warwick
in England who presented his work
Monday in the Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences.
A second study in the journal looks at
a younger age group and nds that hap-
piness in youth can lead to higher
income a few years down the road.
More on that later. Lets get back to
those apes.
Several studies have concluded that
happiness in human adults tends to fol-
low a certain course between ages 20
and 70: It starts high and declines over
the years to reach a low point in the late
40s, then turns around and rises to
another peak at 70.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip Israel and
Gazas Hamas rulers traded re and
tough cease-re proposals Monday, and
threatened to escalate their border con-
ict if diplomacy fails. No deal appeared
near.
An Israeli airstrike targeting a Gaza
media center killed a senior militant and
engulfed the building in ames, while
Gaza ghters red 95 rockets at Israel,
nearly one-third of them intercepted by
an Israeli missile shield.
A total of 38 Palestinians were killed
Monday. Two more Palestinians were
killed in airstrikes past midnight, bring-
ing the death toll since the start of
Israels offensive to 111, including 56
civilians. Some 840 people have been
wounded, including 225 children, Gaza
heath ofcials said. Three Israeli civil-
ians have been killed and dozens have
been wounded.
Over the weekend, civilian casualties
in Gaza rose sharply after Israel began
targeting the homes of what it said were
suspected militants. Two such strikes
late Monday killed ve people a
father and his 4-year-old twin sons in
northern Gaza and two people in the
south, medics said.
Jamal Daloo, who lost his wife, a son,
four grandchildren and ve other mem-
bers of his family in an attack Sunday,
sat in quiet mourning Monday next to
the ruins of his home, his face streaked
with tears.
The international public opinion wit-
nessed the facts, he said, speaking as
his 16-year-old daughter, Yara, was still
missing under the rubble being cleared
away by bulldozers. This does not
require my words.
Egypt, the traditional mediator
between Israel and the Arab world, was
at the center of a urry of diplomatic
activity Monday. Egyptian intelligence
ofcials met separately in Cairo with an
Israeli envoy and with Khaled Mashaal,
the top Hamas leader in exile.
Hamas wants Israel to halt all attacks
on Gaza and lift tight restrictions on
trade and movement in and out of the
territory that have been in place since
Hamas seized Gaza by force in 2007.
Israel demands an end to rocket re from
Gaza and a halt to weapons smuggling
into Gaza through tunnels under the bor-
der with Egypt.
With positions far apart on a compre-
hensive deal, some close to the negotia-
tions suggested Egypt is rst seeking a
halt to ghting before other conditions
are discussed. They spoke on condition
of anonymity because the talks are in a
sensitive stage.
Mashaal told reporters that Hamas
would only agree to a cease-re if its
demands are met. We dont accept
Israeli conditions because it is the
aggressor, he said. We want a cease-
re along with meeting our demands.
Mashaal also suggested that Israels
threat of invading Gaza was simply a
ploy. He said Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu is waving the
threat of a ground offensive and asking
the world to pressure Egypt, Turkey and
Qatar, so they pressure Hamas.
He wants to negotiate with us under
re to impose his conditions, pretending
he is acting from a position of strength,
Mashaal said.

Petraeus biographer
said to regret affair
By Kimberly Dozier
WASHINGTON Paula Broadwell is telling friends she is
devastated by the fallout from her extramarital affair with
retired Gen. David Petraeus, which led to
his resignation as head of the CIA.
A person close to Broadwell said Sunday
she deeply regrets the damage thats been
done to her family and everyone elses, and
she is trying to repair that and move for-
ward. The person spoke on condition of
anonymity because he was not authorized
to speak publicly.
A group of friends and neighbors wel-
comed Broadwell, her husband, Scott, and
their young sons back to their home in Charlotte, N.C., after
Broadwell spent more than a week being hounded by media
while staying at her brothers home in Washington. The fami-
ly associate said she was overwhelmed by the outpouring of
support from her neighbors.
While Petraeus has given one interview, and communicated
his regret over the affair through friends and associates, this is
one of the rst messages to the public from Broadwell.
Broadwell is still being investigated by the FBI over classi-
ed documents found on her laptop and in her home, which
investigators believe the author gathered while researching her
biography of Petraeus in Afghanistan.

Letters to the editor
South San Francisco Council vacancy
Editor,
I would like to clarify comments that
appeared in the article South San Francisco
to appoint councilmember in the Nov. 16 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal. At last Wednesdays
meeting, councilmembers were instructed by
the city clerk to solicit applications for the
council seat being vacated by
Assemblymember-elect Kevin Mullin. No
decision was reached by the council as to how
the seat would be lled. There are three
options that the council could choose from;
appointment until the November 2013 elec-
tion; appointment for the remainder of Kevins
term; or hold a special election. A decision as
to how to ll the vacant seat will be made at
the Dec. 12 City Council meeting.

Bottom of the barrel
Editor,
I am pleased with the San Mateo Daily
Journals attempt to present differing points of
view through its guest perspective column
no matter how much it has to occasionally
scrape the bottom of the barrel to do so and
would like to reference Dwight L. Schwab
Jr.s column, The next four years, in the
Nov. 17 edition of the Daily Journal.
Stating or alluding, as Mr. Schwab did, to
those who chose to vote for Obama rather
than Mr. Romney as greedy, self-serving,
pathetic and uncaring, and to our presi-
dent as a Constitution-hating, Declaration of
Independence-loathing, racially dividing,
class-envying socialist, is outrageously
inammatory and reective of a very angry,
disturbed and irresponsible person. If he
denes himself as a moderate conservative,
I shutter to think of what a far-right conserva-
tive might be like?
Considering both what he said, and particu-
larly the manner in which he did so, indeed, I
have no doubt that he has rightly earned a BS
degree. I am positive, though, that this BS
degree is not for any serious academic study
or work he did or does, political, natural or
otherwise, but for the fatuous manner in which
he chooses to express himself.

Not so fair and balanced
Editor,
There is much to challenge in Dwight L.
Schwab Jr.s view of our country as expressed
in his recent guest perspective, The next four
years, in the Nov. 17 edition of the Daily
Journal. First and foremost, the most disturb-
ing aspect of this piece is the total absence of
any original thought. Simply re-packaging the
daily rants on right wing blogs and right wing
talk radio hardly qualies as an honest guest
perspective. Is our duly elected president in
the words of Mr Schwab really a self-
serving, lying, Constitution-hating,
Declaration of Independence-loathing, racially
dividing, class envying socialist? So much
for responsible dialogue. This is just embar-
rassing.

Climate science
Editor,
Gov. Jerry Brown says that climate change
must be prevented or humans might one day
have to live on another planet (Brown
defends steps to ght climate change in the
Nov. 17 edition of the Daily Journal).
Unless Brown has in mind that we live on
the airless Moon or an asteroid, he will have
to get used to the idea that climate changes.
Change is what climates do all the time on
planets with atmospheres, including the Earth,
and we cant prevent it even if every govern-
ment brings in cap and trade systems as severe
as Californias.
Brown asserts human impact on climate is
real. Yes, all scientists know that humans
contribute to climate change witness the
change in temperature when driving from the
countryside into the city.
What we dont know, however, is the degree
to which our emissions of carbon dioxide
(CO2) are causing climate change. Is it dan-
gerous or miniscule? Or is it something in
between? To this point the human impact is
lost in the noise of natural climate variabili-
ty.
Climate science is still in its infancy. No
one really even knows if global warming or
cooling lie ahead, let alone whether or not our
CO2 emissions have much impact.
Such uncertainties may not be comforting
for politicians who want to make grand
proclamations, but an adult approach recog-
nizes that we have far more yet to discover
than we have learned to date.

Brown in left field
Editor,
As with many politicians, Gov. Jerry Brown
is out in left eld about global warming and
greenhouse gases. Global warming is a way
for politicians and others to make a lot of
money. CARB knows this and is bulldozing
ahead not caring what Cap and Trade will do
to the economy. But, if you do a little reading,
you will nd the researchers of the global
warming and climate change movement
cooked the books. Dont believe me? Check it
out for yourself.
Also, Brown and the Sacramento legislators
need to answer a few questions about their
green energy movement. Such as: Why are
they supporting two of the most fossil fuel
intensive industries? Why are they allowing all
the highly toxic chemicals to be used to manu-
facturer green products? Why is there so many
decommissioned solar panels and turbine
blades and no one knows what to do with
them? Why is it important to bust jewelry sell-
ers in Los Angeles for selling lead and cadmi-
um tainted jewelry, yet the solar industry can
use both toxic substances to manufacturer
there green products? (DTSC press release
July 2012, Bad Bling LA Jewelers Cited.)
These questions need to be answered pronto.
Take a look at Silicon Valley early in the
electronics boom and see what happened then
and what is still happening in Santa Clara
County. Or look at Times Beach, Mo., Love
Canal, N.Y. and Hinckley, Calif. Folks a real
toxic mess is coming if the solar and wind
industries are allowed to continue. Check it
out for yourself.

Palestinian terrorism
Editor,
There has been recent escalation of rocket
attacks into Israel from Palestinian terrorists in
Gaza. Some of the letter writers who love to
criticize Israel for their defensive response
need to recognize this Palestinian gross viola-
tion of international law is the cause of the
conict.
No country would tolerate such abuse by a
neighbor, and neither will Israel. Continuing
Palestinian terrorism makes a peace agreement
futile.

U.S. Cuba policy from Bizzaroland
Editor,
News ash! Planet Earths human popula-
tion as represented in the United Nations has
for the 21st year in a row voted 188-3 to con-
demn the embargo against Cuba by the United
States. Lets look at the numbers folks. Last
year the vote was 186-2. Now with my best
Karl Rove statistical course under my belt, Id
put out a press release that Support for
Americas righteous isolation of the authori-
tarian and undemocratic Castro regime has
gone up 50 percent from last year. Looks like
the island nation of Palau has nally seen t
to join Israel and the United States in deeming
the absolutely unacceptable regime in Cuba
worthy of continued isolation while so many
other tyrannical regimes around the world
seem somehow to garner not only continued
economic support but military aid as well.
Looks like we continue to conduct our foreign
policy from Bizzaroland.

Fat chance
S
pread the word the Hostess with the
Mostest is not the only junk food
favorite in jeopardy. Nutella, the ooey,
gooey hazelnut topper of toast and ngertips
alike is also in the crosshairs although its
nemesis is the French equivalent of health-con-
scious American nanny states rather that work-
ers who want a lit-
tle more dough for
their baking efforts.
For those whove
been too busy
hoarding Ho Hos
and peddling
Twinkies on eBay
for thousands of
dollars guess
nostalgia knows no
price heres the
rundown. The
French Senate has
proposed a 300 per-
cent tax on palm oil (yep, thats two zeros after
that three) which, as a key ingredient in
Nutella, could mean a price hike for the jars of
deliciousness. Proponents say palm oil is bad
for individual health and is also linked to envi-
ronmental no-nos like deforestation. Consider
it an inconvenient truth one mans crepe
lling is another mans global nightmare.
The French, who reportedly eat more than a
quarter of the Nutella sold worldwide, are not
amused.
Americans ought to be screaming, Mon
Dieu!, too. If a country full of people who
apparently never met a stick of butter or wedge
of cheese they didnt like are jumping on the
health bandwagon, is there any hope for state-
side folks to ght back against soda taxes, fast-
food calorie counts and the notion that the
government belongs in their pantry?
Fat chance.
Dietary preferences and fear of saturated fat
is already a factor in Hostess near extinction;
labor tug-of-wars are obviously part of the rea-
son the companys bottom line is more shaky
than a teenager with a sugar rush but so is the
fact that all these people now fearing for the
future of Twinkies probably havent eaten one
in quite awhile. Granted, Twinkies and Ho Hos
are not Hostess only products but somehow
Wonder Bread isnt drawing out the social
media mourning of its sugary siblings.
The immediate outpouring of erce nostal-
gia and unbridled black marketing is the side
note to the stories of both Hostess and Nutella.
People may swear by nothing but wheatgrass
and organic farming in their day-to-day menus
but the second news breaks of the threat to a
childhood throwback look out.
In 2009, Kelloggs announced a potential
worldwide Eggo shortage after one plant shut
down, another closed for repairs and two more
struggled to keep up. The general public, to
put it mildly, was not ready to leggo their
Eggo. Eggos Facebook page blew up. Wafes
hit eBay (why does everybody always think an
online auction house is the best place to buy
any food item that isnt in the miraculous
shape of Mother Teresa or Jesus?) Masses
argued that Toaster Strudel and Pop Tarts were
just not the same.
Thankfully, the crisis was averted but the
model for food reaction was set. By January,
when Hostess rst warned of the coming
Apocalypse er, company closure the
fans were ready to mobilize.
Granted, any newfound afnity for Sno
Balls and Donettes didnt translate into long-
range purchasing because the companys prof-
its are still reportedly pretty spongy. But it was
a start. And now, a few days into Hostess-gate
Redux, the question is if this second wave of
Twinkie defense will work.
In the meantime, Hostess and the unions are
heading into mediation on a judges order in
hopes of staving off the companys proverbial
nal meal. Maybe theyll decide to break
bread. And maybe, health be damned, they can
put a little Nutella on top for good measure.
And if by chance both Hostess demise and
Nutellas price hike happens, just know they
are part of lifes two certainties death and
taxes.

The stock market nally shook its post-
election slump.
Investors seized on hope that
Washington will reach a deal on the fed-
eral budget and drove stocks Monday to
their biggest gain in two months. A pair of
strong corporate earnings reports also
helped.
The Dow Jones industrial average
closed up 207 points, or 1.7 percent.
Since President Barack Obama and a
divided Congress were returned to power
Nov. 6, the Dow had fallen six of eight
days and a total of 650 points.
Obama and congressional leaders are in
talks to avoid going over a scal cliff on
Jan. 1, when tax increases and mandatory
government spending cuts are set to take
effect.
While Obama and Republicans appear
at odds on whether tax rates for the
wealthiest Americans should rise, law-
makers suggested over the weekend that
progress is possible.
I can tell you that the scal cliff is
focusing the mind, Illinois Sen. Richard
Durbin, a Democrat, said on CNNs
State of the Union. He said he had
heard from Republicans the beginning
of a negotiation.
Comments like those comforted
investors, who are grasping for signs that
the negotiations might go somewhere.
It is quite clear that both sides want to
come to a compromise and that a reason-
able compromise is available, David
Kelly, chief global strategist for J.P.
Morgan Funds, wrote in a note to clients.
Other nancial analysts suggested the
markets surge Monday may not last.
I dont think anything has changed.
Its just the talk from day to day, said
Stephen Carl, principal and head equity
trader at The Williams Capital Group, an
investment bank. Well see what hap-
pens tomorrow.
This weeks market will be tougher to
decipher, Carl said, because volume is
increasingly light leading up to the
Thanksgiving holiday. Big price swings
are more likely when there are fewer buy-
ers and sellers in the market.
The Dow nished up 207.65 points at
12,795.96. The Standard & Poors 500
index rose 27.01 points, or 2 percent, to
1,386.89. The Nasdaq composite average
gained 62.94, or 2.2 percent, to 2,916.07.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were lifted
by Apple, which had its biggest one-day
gain since April.

Big movers

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. Twinkies
will live to see another day.
Hostess Brands Inc. and its second
largest union agreed on Monday to try to
resolve their differences after a bank-
ruptcy court judge noted that the parties
hadnt gone through the critical step of
private mediation. That means the maker
of the spongy cake with the mysterious
cream lling wont go out of business
yet.
The news comes after the maker of Ho
Hos, Ding Dongs and Wonder Bread
last week moved to liquidate and sell off
its assets in bankruptcy court. Hostess
cited a crippling strike started on Nov. 9
by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco
Workers and Grain Millers International
Union, which represents about 30 per-
cent of Hostess workers.
Many people, myself included, have
serious questions as to the logic behind
this strike, said Judge Robert Drain,
who heard the case in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in the Southern
District of New York in White Plains,
N.Y. Not to have gone through that step
leaves a huge question mark in this
case.
The mediation talks are set to take
place Tuesday, with the liquidation hear-
ing set to resume on Wednesday if an
agreement isnt reached. Jeff Freund, an
attorney for the bakers union, said any
guess as to how the talks will go would
be purely speculative.
In an interview following the hearing,
Hostess CEO Gregory Rayburn said that
there is enormous nancial pressure to
come to an agreement with the union by
the end of the day Tuesday.
He noted that its costing Hostess
about $1 million a day in payroll costs
alone to stay alive, with the money most-
ly going toward management to unwind
the company. About 18,000 workers
were sent home Friday after the compa-
ny shuttered its 33 plants, meaning no
sales are being generated.
We didnt think we had a runway, but
the judge just created a 24-hour runway,
said Rayburn, who added that even if a
contract agreement is reached, its
unclear whether all Hostess plants will
get up and running again.
Hostess, weighed down by debt, man-
agement turmoil, rising labor costs and
the changing tastes of Americans, decid-
ed on Friday that it no longer could
make it through a conventional Chapter
11 bankruptcy restructuring. Instead, the
company, which is based in Irving,
Texas, asked the court for permission to
sell its assets and wind down its busi-
ness.
Hostess lives at least another day

WASHINGTON From purchases
and prices to builder sentiment and con-
struction, the U.S. housing market is
making consistent gains.
The latest evidence came in reports
Monday that sales of previously occu-
pied homes rose solidly in October and
that builders are more condent than at
any other time in 6 1/2 years.
New-home sales and home-price
indexes have reached multi-year highs.
And Lowes Cos. on Monday reported a
surge in net income, a sign that home-
improvement retailers are beneting.
The housing markets recovery still
has a long way to go. But for now, its
helping prop up an economy thats being
squeezed by a global slowdown and
looming spending cuts and tax increases.
Joseph LaVorgna, an economist at
Deutsche Bank, estimates that the hous-
ing recovery could boost U.S. economic
growth by a full percentage point next
year. Thats because a stronger housing
market would mean more jobs, especial-
ly in industries like construction, and
more consumer spending.
Housing could provide a meaningful
and critical lift to overall econom-
ic activity when other growth drivers,
like exports, are slowing, LaVorgna
said.
Helping drive the housing rebound is
growing condence among builders. An
index of builder sentiment compiled by
the National Association of Home
Builders/Wells Fargo rose to 46 this
month, up from 41 in October. It was the
highest reading since May 2006, just
before the housing bubble burst.

NEW YORK Cisco Systems Inc.,
the worlds largest maker of computer
networking gear, said Sunday it is buying
Meraki for $1.2 billion to expand its abil-
ity to let customers compute in the cloud.
Cloud computing refers to the increas-
ingly popular practice of storing software
applications in remote data centers that
are accessed over the Internet instead of
installing programs on individual
machines. Meraki Inc. is based in San
Francisco and also has ofces in New
York, London and Mexico. The privately
held company was founded in 2006 by
members of MITs Laboratory for
Computer Science. Meraki technology
offers customers Wi-Fi, switching, secu-
rity and mobile device management cen-
trally managed from the cloud.
Meraki will form Ciscos new Cloud
Networking group, led by Meraki CEO
Sanjit Biswas. The company said on its
website it had originally planned to
remain independent and go public, but
joining Cisco will help it achieve its goal
of hitting $1 billion in revenue a year.
Rob Soderbery, senior vice president,
Cisco Enterprise Networking Group,
said in a statement, Merakis solution
was built from the ground up optimized
for cloud, with tremendous scale, and is
already in use by thousands of customers
to manage hundreds of thousands of
devices.

Two workers shoulder
blame for 2010 BP oil disaster
NEW ORLEANS The manslaughter charges brought
against two relatively low-ranking BP rig workers in the
deadly Gulf of Mexico disaster may be as far as federal
prosecutors are willing to go. Or maybe they intend to use
the two men to work their way up the corporate ladder.
The Justice Department has said only that its criminal
investigation is still going on. As a result, others are left
guessing about prosecutors intentions.
Either there simply isnt evidence that anybody higher
up was involved, or the department has concluded the only
way its going to make its case against more senior corpo-
rate ofcers is if it charges and eventually obtains cooper-
ation from the two men, said David Uhlmann, a
University of Michigan law professor and former chief of
the Justice Departments environmental crimes section.

FRUSTRATION MOUNTING: WOES GROW FOR THE STRUGGLING RAIDERS >>> PAGE 14
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Strong-armed
ll-in Colin Kaepernick made all the
right throws, looking every bit a capa-
ble NFL No. 1 quarterback.
Kaepernick passed for 243 yards and
two touchdowns in his rst career start
in place of the injured Alex Smith, and
the San Francisco 49ers whipped the
Chicago Bears 32-7 on Monday night
in a highly touted NFC showdown that
hardly lived up to the hype.
Kaepernick threw touchdown passes
to Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree,
and Kendall Hunter ran for a 14-yard
score as San Francisco (7-2-1) jumped
out to a big lead by scoring on each of
its rst four possessions with Aldon
Smith wreaking havoc on the other side
of the ball with 5 1/2 sacks.
I really wasnt too nervous,
Kaepernick said. Ive had a lot of time
in this offense. My teammates were
really supportive.

Something special carries Garrick, Gators
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Sacred Heart Preps Victoria Garrick is a
special kind of player.
So it might sound a bit conicting when
SHP head coach Damien Hardy, fresh off his
programs 13th Central Coast Section cham-
pionship on Saturday, says for the Gators to
make a splash in the CIF Nor Cal tournament,
he needs nothing special from No. 18.
Wait, how does that work exactly?
The role shes been playing all year long is
the role we need her to play, Hardy said. I
say nothing special because she should be
used to it. But, it is a big role. Dont get me
wrong. Its a huge role.
Chances are the Gators would not be mak-
ing room in their campus trophy case for their
latest CCS championship without the efforts
of Garrick. No. 18 was instrumental in SHPs
win over No. 1 Harbor in the Division IV nal
Saturday.
It took a special 15-kill, 14-dig effort from
the sophomore. But like Hardy said, for a
player of Garricks caliber, special is actually
the norm.
Shes always been one of our key players,
Hardy said. And she didnt let us down on
Saturday. She did really well passing when we
had her in the passing formation. She did
great hitting the ball of course and played
great defense as well. Shes just a good, solid
athlete who you can depend upon. Shes a
sophomore, so shell make errors here and
there. But in general, shes usually on her
game.
The entire SHP squad was on its game
Saturday. But Garricks balanced play typied
each member of the championship Gators. For
her efforts, Garrick is the San Mateo Daily
Journal Athlete of the Week.

Cal playoffs and will host rst-round match-
es tonight beginning at 7 p.m.
Menlo-Atherton (27-7), as the No. 4 seed
in the Nor Cal Division I tournament, will
host No. 5 San Ramon Valley (31-10),
Sacred Heart Prep (30-5) earned the top seed
in the Division IV bracket and will face No.
8 Ripon Christian, while Priory (21-8) is No.
2 in Division V and takes on No. 7 LeGrand
(21-9).
None of the local squads are strangers to
the Nor Cal tournament, as all three were
participants last year, with all three winning
rst-round matches. How far can they go this
year? It remains to be seen. Menlo-Atherton
advanced to the Nor Cal nals last year, but
lost to eventual state champ Palo Alto, the
team that had beaten the Bears in the two
previous CCS championship matches.
Standing in the way of the Bears is San
Ramon Valley. The Wolverines play in the
East Bay Athletic League, the East Bays
version of the West Catholic Athletic League.
The EBAL has not been kind to Menlo-
Atherton the last few times the two have tan-
gled. In 2009 and 2010, M-A faced Amador
Valley and Foothill, respectively. Both EBAL
squads throttled the Bears in rst-round
matchups.
Sacred Heart Prep has been even more
impressive the last several years, although
the Gators havent run into juggernaut pro-
grams like M-A has. This is the Gators
fourth-straight Nor Cal appearance and they
have won three consecutive rst-round
matches. Theyve lost in the second round
the last two years, but advanced to the state
championship game in 2010 before losing to
La Jollas Country Day.
Priory was a long-time CCS/Nor Cal
power in the early 2000s, winning a state
title in 2000 and winning four CCS titles
between 1999 and 2004. The Panthers did
not make a CCS appearance from 2005 to
2008, losing a rst-round match in 2009.
They missed again in 2010 but advanced to
the CCS Division V title game last year
before winning it Saturday the Panthers
rst CCS title since 2004.
Even making the nals last year qualied
Priory for the Nor Cal tournament, where the
Panthers won their rst-round matchup. They
lost to top-seeded Branson in the second
round, which went on to win the DV state
championship.

Warriors beat the Mavericks in overtime
DALLAS Stephen Curry
scored 20 of his 31 points in the
fourth quarter and overtime, and his
assist on David Lees go-ahead layup
with 32.8 seconds left helped the
Golden State Warriors beat the
Dallas Mavericks 105-101 Monday
night.
Curry had six points and three
assists in the extra period. The
fourth-year guard fed Lee on his bas-
ket that put Golden State up 101-99.
O.J. Mayo scored 27 points,
including all 11 of the Mavericks
points in overtime. His eight-footer
in the lane tied it at 99 with 41.2 sec-
onds left in overtime.
Lee had 17 points and a season-
high 19 rebounds, and rookie
Harrison Barnes had 20 points and
12 rebounds for Golden State.
Darren Collison hit a 20-foot
jumper with 36.9 seconds remaining
to force overtime for Dallas, which
has lost ve of seven since a 4-1 start.
Curry hit a 14-footer on Golden
States rst possession of overtime.
He then fed Festus Ezeli for a dunk
and found Barnes for a 3-pointer to
give the Warriors a 97-90 lead.
Mayo scored the next seven points
and his layup tied it at 97 with 1:38
left in overtime.
Curry hit two free throws to give
the Warriors a 99-97 advantage
with 51.1 seconds remaining.
After Lees basket, Mayo missed
a potential tying jumper. Curry and
Draymond Green each hit a pair of
free throws to give Golden State
just their third win in its last 11
games against Dallas.
Chris Kaman had 18 points and a
season-high 17 rebounds for Dallas,
and reserve Troy Murphy chipped
in 12 points.
Curry scored 14 of Golden
States last 17 points in regulation.
He hit a 16-foot jumper off one leg
to give Golden State a 90-88 lead
with 1:57 left.
Collison hit a 20-foot jumper
with the shot clock running down to
tie it at 90 with 36.9 seconds
remaining.
The Mavericks had a chance to
win it after that, but Vince Carter
missed a long jumper over Barnes
on the last play of regulation.
That capped a nip-and-tuck sec-
ond half in which neither team led
by more than six points.
Lee had 10 points and 12
rebounds in the rst half, helping
the Warriors take a 43-38 halftime
lead. He had a pair of baskets in a
12-2 run in the second quarter that
gave Golden State a 35-25 advan-
tage, its largest of the rst half.

two-month old lockout.
Talks resumed on Monday, the
65th day of the lockout that has
already wiped out 327 games and
threatens the entire season if a set-
tlement isnt reached soon.
After turning down a suggestion
from NHL Commissioner Gary
Bettman to take a two-week break
from negotiations, the union
requested another meeting with the
league that was scheduled Saturday.
It was the rst bargaining session
between the sides since Nov. 11,
when a busy week of negotiating
wrapped up with a session that last-
ed just over an hour and didnt pro-
duce any results.
All games through Nov. 30 and
the New Years Day Winter Classic
have been called off. Another round
of cancellations is expected this
week if a new deal isnt reached.

Sports briefs
The face that launched a thousand
Internet memes is laughing.
McKayla Maroney cant help it.
Its all a bit ridiculous, really, the
way the most agonizing moment of
the 16-year-olds life has taken on a
life of its own.
Yet everywhere Maroney goes
talk shows, airports, hospitals, the
White House people want to see
the look, the one that transformed
the American gymnast from two-
time Olympic medalist into
crossover celebrity.
Michael Phelps can have all those
gold medals. Maroney is ne with
the look. At least, she is now.
To me at rst I thought it was
kind of like weird, but I never took
it as a bad way, Maroney said.
But now I kind of like it and
embrace it because no Olympic ath-
lete has ever had anything like that
happen to them, so it makes me dif-
ferent and I like that.
Of course she does.
It was, Maroney admits, a mis-
take. Standing on the podium in
London three months ago, the gold
medal in vault she spent years chas-
ing turned to silver following a stun-
ning slip in the event finals,
Maroney tried to keep it together
while Romanias Sandra Izbasa
stood three feet away and heard her
national anthem played.
Fighting back tears, Maroney
pursed her lips in an expression that
can be loosely translated as OMG,
I cant believe that just happened.
And a star was born.
The picture became a sensation on
the Web, with one inventive design-
er photoshopping the image into
various historical moments the
moon landing, the raising of the
American ag at Iwo Jima and
adding the phrase McKayla
Maroney is Not Impressed.
Maroney eyeing future
division leaders, threw a 13-yard
touchdown pass to Brandon
Marshall in the third quarter but was
sacked ve times and threw two
interceptions in his rst start since
October 2011 for Oakland.
He faced erce pressure all night,
on the eld for the Bears (7-3) as
starter Jay Cutler recovers from a
concussion suffered eight days ear-
lier just like Smith.
After Kaepernicks stellar night
on the big stage, theres certain to be
chatter of a quarterback controversy
for the NFC West-leading Niners.
Aldon Smith took over the NFL
sacks lead with 15, passing
Denvers Von Miller with 13, with
the second-best total in franchise
history behind Fred Deans six-sack
day on Nov. 13, 1983, against New
Orleans. Tarell Brown and Dashon
Goldson each had an interception
for San Franciscos stingy defense,
which shut down Campbell, Matt
Forte and Co. three years after the
teams last met in a 10-6 49ers home
win.
It definitely wasnt our best
effort, by no means, Campbell
said.
Kaepernick, Aldon Smith and
Hunter sure made general manager
Trent Baalke look good for his
selections from the 2011 draft class.
And reigning NFL Coach of the
Year Jim Harbaugh earned a key
victory four days after his own
health issue. The 48-year-old
Harbaugh underwent a minor proce-
dure for an irregular heartbeat
Thursday.
The 49ers added a safety in the
fourth quarter that was scored after
review. With 9:24 left, former San
Francisco offensive lineman Chilo
Rachal was called for intentional
grounding out of the end zone, but
Harbaugh challenged and earned
the safety after review showed
Rachal was down in the end zone.
The soft-spoken, stone-faced
Kaepernick went 16 for 23 with a
133.1 passer rating. He completed
12 of his rst 14 passes with a 57-
yard strike to Kyle Williams that set
up Davis 3-yard TD on the next
play and he already had amassed
126 yards passing by the end of the
rst quarter. The 49ers led 17-0 on
Hunters early TD run in the second,
quickly topping the 14.8 points the
Bears were allowing per game.
Kaepernick threw for 184 yards in
the rst half alone an impressive
outing for the second-year pro
selected in last years second round
out of Nevada.
I think after the rst drive I felt
really comfortable with what they
were doing and what we had in our
game plan, he said.
Frank Gore ran for 78 yards and
David Akers kicked eld goals of
32, 37 and 32 yards for the 49ers,
eager to defend their home eld a
week after settling for a frustrating
24-24 tie against the division rival
St. Louis Rams.
They outgained Chicago 249-35
in a lopsided rst half.
Davis got his prime-time moment
just how he loves it. Eager to get
more involved in the offense down
the stretch this season, the tight end
had a team-best six catches for 83
yards.

ALAMEDA Coach Dennis
Allen agrees with Oakland owner
Mark Davis assessment that the
Raiders have regressed in recent
weeks and he is going to do what it
takes to turn the team around.
The Raiders (3-7) have lost three
straight games following Sundays
38-17 home loss to New Orleans
that led to booing and early depar-
tures by the frustrated fans. Davis
met in the locker room after the
game with Allen and general man-
ager Reggie McKenzie and said he
was embarrassed by the teams play
and apologized to the fans.
Im right there with him, Allen
said Monday. Im frustrated. Im
disappointed. You know, you wake
up this morning and your gut hurts.
But, at the same time, when a man
gets knocked down a man gets up
and ghts. And thats exactly what
we intend to do. I understand his
frustration; I can appreciate that.
And let me tell you, theres nobody
thats going to work any harder to
get it corrected than I will.
After a promising October post-
bye stretch that included a last-sec-
ond loss at previously unbeaten
Atlanta and back-to-back wins over
Jacksonville and Kansas City, the
Raiders have fallen apart in
November.
Oakland has allowed 135 points
the past three games in losses to
Tampa Bay, Baltimore and New
Orleans and been outscored by 66
points in that span.
When you lose, it hurts, Allen
said. Rips your gut out. But a win
turns everything around. A win
makes everybody feel a lot better.
And thats what we need to do. We
need to come together as a football
team and we need to all make a
decision that were going to do
whatever it takes to win football
games. And thats what weve got to
do.
That hasnt happened in this
recent stretch.
Carson Palmer has thrown six
interceptions in that span and the
offense has struggled to nish off
drives in the red zone. The injury-
depleted defense has struggled
against both the run and pass, allow-
ing the most points in a three-game
span for the franchise since 1961.
Allen and the players believe
there is enough talent to win in
Oakland despite injuries and a lack
of depth on the roster and that the
problems have been mostly about
poor execution.
You look across the board, it
isnt the most talented teams that
win in this league, its the teams that
consistently do everything right
over and over and over again,
defensive tackle Richard Seymour
said. I think weve been inconsis-
tent at times, offense, defense and
special teams. So any time that hap-
pens, the record speaks for itself.
Its been inconsistent play, from
everybody, it isnt just one guy, its
everybody.
This weeks game has added sig-
nicance since its Palmers rst
game against the Bengals since
forcing a trade out of Cincinnati last
year. Palmer threatened to retire
rather than keep playing for the
Bengals and was eventually traded
midway through the 2011 season to
Oakland.
Its a big game, Palmer said.
But its obviously a much bigger
game for our team. We have to get a
win. Were going to ght, were
going to grind this week. We have a
lot of room for improvement, a lot
of areas we need to improve on.
Palmer has had an up-and-down
tenure in Oakland. He came off his
couch midway through last season
after starter Jason Campbell broke
his collarbone and led the Raiders
within one win of the playoffs.
Palmer has thrown for more than
300 yards in each of the three recent
losses and is on pace for a Raiders-
record 4,856 yards passing this sea-
son.

TRANSACTIONS
NEW YORK Most of the
pregame attention was given to a
UCLA freshman who had yet to
appear in a college game.
It should have been directed at a
sophomore from Georgetown who
was returning after being injured in
the season opener.
Otto Porter Jr. had 18 points, 11
rebounds, ve assists, ve blocks
and three steals to lead the Hoyas to
a 78-70 victory over the 11th-ranked
Bruins on Monday night in the
semifinals of the Progressive
Legends Classic at the Barclays
Center.
Ottos rst full game and look at
the stat sheet. That was a full game,
Georgetown coach John Thompson
III said. Then there was a lot of
other stuff he did that doesnt show
up on this piece of paper. It was
good to have him back out there.
Porter was hit in the head 6 min-
utes into the Hoyas season opener.
He sat out the second game of the
season and then came back with a
ourish.
I just let the game come to me
and thats what I want to do and
well all get open shots, said the 6-
foot-8 Porter, who led the team as a
freshman in rebounding (6.8) and
eld goal percentage (52.5 percent).
He seemed to be right as
Georgetown shot 54.5 percent for
the game (30 of 55),including 60
percent in the second half (18 of
30).
Markel Starks had a career-high
23 points for the Hoyas (3-0), who
will face No. 1 Indiana in Tuesday
nights championship game. The
Hoosiers beat Georgia 66-53.
The 6-foot-6 Muhammad, one of
the most highly sought after high
school players last season, was
declared eligible by the NCAA on
Friday and this was his rst game.
He nished with 15 points on 5 of-
10 shooting and was 2 of 4 from 3-
point range in 25 minutes of playing
time.
The NCAA said that UCLAs
sanctions against Muhammad were
sufcient after the school required
him to sit out three games and repay
$1,600 in impermissible benets.
The NCAA and UCLA found that
Muhammad accepted travel and
lodging during three unofcial visits
to Duke and North Carolina.
Georgetown beats No. 11 UCLA

kids see sophomores, juniors or seniors, they
just want to get the ball to the player that can
put that thing away, Hardy said of his young
budding star. Theyre in it together. Theyre
in it for the same reason. Theyre all pushing
for the same goal. They feel comfortable get-
ting the ball to Victoria. Or Sonia (Abuel-
Saud), or Helen (Gannon) or anybody who is
out there. We feel very comfortable spreading
that ball around.
Garrick got her kills on Saturday. But do
did players like Payton Smith (14), Sonia
Abuel-Saud (12) and Ellie Shannon (9). But
come the fourth set, with momentum hanging
in the balance, setter Cammie Merten dialed
up Garrick and the sophomore responded with
ve crucial kills in crunch time.
Shes one of those types of players that
wants it, Hardy said. She wants to have the
ball. She wants to be the star. She wants to
make the play for her teammates and her
school. I dont worry at all with Victoria about
her being nervous. The regular nervousness is
always going to be there but she gets rid of it
quickly as soon as the game gets going and
she gets into a rhythm.
But it wasnt just offensively on Saturday
for Garrick. Defensively, she was third on the
team in digs with 15. The Gators dug 68 balls
in the win.
All year long, my whole tenure here at
Prep, Ive preached defense, Hardy said.
Offense will score you points, defense will
win you championships. And so, what we did
was, we just played defense. We made sure
that our players understood we were going to
give 100 percent effort all the time the other
team had the ball and we were going to
defend to the best of our abilities and hope-
fully things would swing our way.
Garrick and the rest of the Gators earned the
top seed in the Nor Cal tournament and will
face Ripon Christian tonight at Sacred Heart
Prep. The rst ball gets served up at 7 p.m.
And as mentioned, Garrick wont have to go
outside of herself if the Gators are going to
make it far.
She just needs to be her special self.
Shes got a big role, Hardy said. But, for
her, at this point of the season, it shouldnt be
anything special. And I try to make sure that
they understand, youve been doing it all year
long, it shouldnt be anything different. You
dont have to try to give 110 percent because
you dont have 110 percent. All you have to
give me is 100 and thats what I expect every
game out.
AOTW
the game tied at ve and then with the Gators
clinging to a one-goal lead in the last three
minutes of the match.
We knew it was going to be a really tough
game, Moran said after the game. The rst
three quarters, I had to say I was a little off my
game. And in the fourth quarter, I just thought
I need to get back in this. The whole team was
pumped. Without my defense, I would not
have had the game I did.
Offensively, Caitlin Stuewe scored three
goals in the same game.
For the Sacred Heart Prep boys water polo
team, well, game balls could go to a number
of players. Ten different Gators scored in a
19-7 mauling of Los Altos High with four dif-
ferent players tallying hat tricks: Harrison
Enright, Zach Churukian, Bret Hinrichs and
Nelson Perla-Ward.
For the Menlo-Atherton girls volleyball
team, the entire squad had a historic perform-
ance. The Bears picked up their schools rst-
ever Central Coast Section volleyball title.
Alison Spindt, the reigning Daily Journal
Girls Volleyball Player of the Year, had a
triple double with 12 digs, 22 assists and 11
kills. Paulina King paced the Bears with 11
kills and 11 digs. Katelyn Doherty tallied 14
assists, 11 digs and six digs.
And for the Sacred Heart Prep girls volley-
ball team, the programs 13th CCS title was
all about defense. SHP dug 68 balls Helen
Gannon had 30 of those. Victoria Garrick was
in double digits with 14 and Sonia Abuel-
Saud had 18. Garrick had 15 kills to go with
those digs. Abuel-Saud had 12. Payton Smith
was solid with 14 kills, ve blocks and three
aces. Oh, and pulling the majority of the
strings on Saturday was Cammie Merten and
her 41 assists.
VALIANT EFFORT
The Menlo-Atherton boys water polo team
fell just short of its bid to bring a fth CCS
title to the county over the weekend.
But M-As 9-8 loss to Bellarmine Prep fea-
tured the play of Peninsula Athletic League
Most Valuable Player Morgan Olson-Fabbro.
No. 10 scored ve goals including two in the
fourth period that tied things up at 8-8 with
3:30 left in the game.
Goalie Peter Berquist was solid in goal for
M-A. He had 11 saves.
CCS FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS
Ten county football teams took to the eld
last week in search of a CCS title.
Only ve survived.
Those who did got Honor Roll efforts from
their star players.
In the Open Division, Eric Redwood was
record-breaking. No. 2 rushed for 288 yards
on 31 carries in Serras win over Palo Alto.
Redwood broke the single-game Padre record
set in 1999. He also now owns the all-time
rushing record at Serra. With 3,361 yards (and
counting), Redwood moved ahead of Erich
Wilson, who set the record last season. Oh,
and No. 2 scored four touchdowns.
In Division I, Sequoia High School stunned
Menlo-Atherton and beat the Bay Divisions
Bears. Matt Jenkins had a great game. He
rushed for 159 yards on 20 carries.
In Division II, Aragon took care of Leland
34-21. Nat Blood tossed a couple of touch-
downs to JD Elzie and Kyle Kaye, both of
whom added rushing TDs as well. But the
man of the game was David Manoa, who tal-
lied an insane 21 tackles in the win.
In Division IV, Sacred Heart Prep and
Menlo School emerged victorious from their
games. The Gators pounded the ball with
Andrew Segre amassing 115 yards on 14 car-
ries to lead the way.
In Menlos win against Monte Vista-
Christian, Jack Heneghan was Jack
Heneghan. No. 12 threw for 294 yards on 14
of 18 passing in the rst half alone. He n-
ished with 311. His teammate and running
back Heru Peacock scored four touchdowns in
that rst half as well.
In solid efforts, but without the win to show
for it: Tanner Piccolotti of Terra Nova rushed
for 100 yards on 19 carries. ... Justin Ewing
became the single-season rushing king in
CCS with a 169-yard performance against No.
1 Seaside. ... Ewing became the rst running
back to rush for over 100 yards against
Seaside. ... Manase Palu of Burlingame scored
on runs of 11 and 45 yards to account for all
of the Panthers points in 56-14 loss to Valley
Christian.

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia On a
history-making trip, President Barack
Obama on Monday paid the rst visit by
an American leader to Myanmar and
Cambodia, two Asian countries with
troubled histories, one on the mend and
the other still a cause of concern.
Obamas fast-paced, pre-
Thanksgiving trip vividly illustrated the
different paths the regional neighbors
are taking to overcome legacies of vio-
lence, poverty and repression.
Cheered by massive flag-waving
crowds, Obama offered long-isolated
Myanmar a hand of friendship as it
rapidly embraces democratic reforms.
Hours later, he arrived in Cambodia to
little fanfare, then pointedly criticized
the countrys strongman leader on the
issue of human rights during a tense
meeting.
Obama was an early champion of
Myanmars sudden transformation to
civilian rule following a half-century of
military dictatorship. Hes rewarded the
country, also known as Burma, with
eased economic penalties, increased
U.S. investment and now a presidential
visit, in part to show other nations the
benets of pursuing similar reforms.
Youre taking a journey that has the
potential to inspire so many people,
Obama said during a speech at
Myanmars University of Yangon.
The Cambodians are among those
Obama is hoping will be motivated.
White House ofcials said he held up
Myanmar, a once-pariah state, as a
benchmark during his private meeting
Monday evening with Prime Minister
Hun Sen, the autocratic Cambodian
leader who has held power for nearly 30
years. Hun Sens rivals have sometimes
ended up in jail or in exile.
Unlike the arrangement after Obamas
meetings with Myanmars President
Thein Sein and democracy leader Aung
Sun Suu Kyi, the U.S. and Cambodian
leaders did not speak to the press fol-
lowing their one-on-one talks. They did
step before cameras briey before their
meeting to greet each other with a brisk
handshake and little warmth.
In private, U.S. ofcials said, Obama
pressed Hun Sen to release political pris-
oners, stop land seizures and hold free
and fair elections. Aides acknowledged
the meeting was tense, with the
Cambodian leader defending his prac-
tices, even as he professed to seek a
deeper relationship with the U.S.
Ben Rhodes, Obamas deputy national
security adviser, said the president told
Hun Sen that without reforms,
Cambodias human rights woes would
continue to be an impediment to that
effort.
White House ofcials emphasized that
Obama would not have visited
Cambodia had it not been hosting two
regional summit meetings the U.S.
attends, a rare admonishment of a coun-
try on its own soil.
The Cambodian people appeared to
answer Obamas cold shoulder in kind.
Just a few small clusters of curious
Cambodians gathered on the streets to
watch his motorcade speed though the
streets of Phnom Penh.
A welcome sign did greet Obama
upon his arrival but it heralded
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, not the
American president.

WASHINGTON President Barack Obamas education
agenda for next four years may look less like real reform and
more like tying up loose ends, experts say, with practical
budget issues and an age-old power struggle between
Congress and the administration getting in the way.
Campaign-year aspirations for Obamas second term
included closing the educational achievement gap and boost-
ing college graduation rates to the highest in the world. But
those lofty goals may have to wait, as lawmakers and Obama
tackle a number of gritty funding-related issues that just
cant wait.
First up is sequestration, the automatic, government-wide
spending cuts set to knock out 8.2 percent of the funding to
almost all of the Education Departments programs unless
Congress acts before the end of the year to avert the cuts.
Programs intended to reduce educational inequities will
take a hit of $1.3 billion, according to the White Houses
Office of Management and Budget. Special education,
already funded far below the levels Congress originally
promised, will be slashed by more than $1 billion. Most of
the reductions wont take effect until next fall, when the
2013-14 school year starts, but Impact Aid, which helps dis-
tricts that lose revenue due to local tax-exempt federal prop-
erty, would be cut immediately.
Education advocates are optimistic a plan will be hashed
out that will leave most major education programs relatively
unscathed.
Even Republicans understand that cutting education
spending is not something that is popular with voters, said
Michael Petrilli, a former Education Department ofcial and
executive vice president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute,
a conservative education think tank.
What comes next is less certain. The Education
Department refused to comment on its agenda for the next
four years, but Secretary Arne Duncan, who has said he
would like to stay on for Obamas second term, has hinted at
the administrations focus. Petrilli and others closely watch-
ing the administrations signals on education say its likely
the focus will be on early childhood education and higher ed.
Pre-kindergarten was a major focus for Obama in his rst
term, when he strengthened Head Starts accountability rules
and expanded his Race to the Top program to include pre-K.
In Congress, both parties agree that college costs are spi-
raling out of control, but theres not much government can
do to control that. What it can control is student aid, and the
debate about federal loans raises a familiar disagreement
about the role of government. In 2010, when Democrats con-
trolled both chambers of Congress, the federal government
cut banks out of the process and started administering all
loans directly. Many Republicans favor restoring the private
sectors role in issuing federally backed and subsidized
loans.

HAVANA Colombias main rebel
group announced a unilateral cease-re
on Monday as it began much-anticipated
peace talks, but the Bogota government
responded that it would continue mili-
tary operations.
Top negotiator Ivan Marquez said the
Revolutionary Armed Forces of
Colombia would halt all acts of sabotage
and attacks against government and pri-
vate property starting at midnight
Monday and running through Jan. 20.
He made the announcement as nego-
tiators for both sides entered the talks in
Havana without other comment.
Marquez said the move was aimed at
strengthening the climate of understand-
ing necessary for the parties to start a
dialogue.
Hours later, Defense Minister Juan
Carlos Pinzon told reporters in the
Colombian capital that while the govern-
ment hoped the FARC would keep its
promise, history shows that this terror-
ist organization has never kept its word.
Its very difcult to believe.
He added that Colombian security
forces have the constitutional duty to
pursue all criminals who have violated
the Constitution.
As a result, the terrorists of the FARC
are being pursued for all the crimes they
have committed over so many years and
not for future crimes, said Pinzon, one
of President Juan Manuel Santos most
trusted collaborators.

CHICAGO Unemployment
hurts more than your wallet it
may damage your heart. Thats
according to a study linking job-
lessness with heart attacks in older
workers.
The increased odds werent
huge, although multiple job losses
posed as big a threat as smoking,
high blood pressure and other con-
ditions that are bad for the heart.
The researchers analyzed data
on more than 13,000 men and
women aged 51 to 75 taking part
in an ongoing health and retire-
ment survey partly sponsored by
the National Institute on Aging.
Since 1992, participants have been
interviewed every two years about
their employment and health.
The new analysis has several
limitations. The data show periods
of unemployment but dont indi-
cate whether people were fired,
laid off, out of work while switch-
ing jobs, or had voluntarily left a
job. The researchers considered all
of these situations job losses,
but its likely the greatest risks for
heart attacks were from being
fired or laid off, said researcher
Matthew Dupre, an assistant pro-
fessor at Duke University and the
lead author. Retirement was not
considered unemployment
Sarah Burgard, a University of
Michigan researcher who has
studied the relationship between
job loss and health, called the
research solid but said it would be
important to know the reason for
the unemployment.
There probably are differences
in consequences of job loss when
its voluntary or more
or less expected and
when it comes as a sud-
den shock, said
Burgard, who was not
involved in the study.
The analysis appears
in Mondays Archives
of Internal Medicine.
An editorial in the
journal says the study
adds to decades of
research linking job
loss with health effects
and that research
should now turn to
examining how and
why that happens.
Theories include that the stress
of losing a job may trigger a heart
attack in people with clogged
arteries or heart disease; and that
the unemployed lose health insur-
ance and access to medical care
that can help keep them healthy,
Burgard said.
The analysis covers 1992-2010.
Participants were mostly in their
50s at the studys beginning and
were asked about their job history,
and about employment status and
recent heart attacks at subsequent
interviews. People whod had
heart attacks before the study
began were excluded.
Nearly 70 percent had at least
one job loss, or period of unem-
ployment after working at a job,
and at least 10 percent had four or
more before and/or during the
study period.
There were 1,061 heart attacks
during the study. Those with at
least one job loss were 22 percent
more likely to have a heart attack
than those who never lost a job.
Those with at least four job losses
had a 60 percent higher risk than
those with none. Men and women
faced equal risks.
Even though the odds linked
with job loss werent huge, many
participants already faced
increased other risks for a heart
attack because of obesity, high
blood pressure or lack of exercise.
Any significant additional risk
is important, Dupre said.
Unemployment may increase chances of heart attacks
New data shows that multiple job losses poses as big a threat as smoking,
high blood pressure and other conditions that are bad for the heart.

WASHINGTON Theres a new push to
make testing for the AIDS virus as common
as cholesterol checks.
Americans ages 15 to 64 should get an HIV
test at least once not just people considered
at high risk for the virus, an independent
panel that sets screening guidelines proposed
Monday.
The draft guidelines from the U.S.
Preventive Services Task Force are the latest
recommendations that aim to make HIV
screening simply a routine part of a check-up,
something a doctor can order with as little
fuss as a cholesterol test or a mammogram.
Since 2006, the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention also has pushed for wide-
spread, routine HIV screening.
Yet not nearly enough people have heeded
that call: Of the more than 1.1 million
Americans living with HIV, nearly 1 in 5
almost 240,000 people dont know it. Not
only is their own health at risk without treat-
ment, they could unwittingly be spreading the
virus to others.
The updated guidelines will bring this long-
simmering issue before doctors and their
patients again emphasizing that public
health experts agree on how important it is to
test even people who dont think theyre at
risk, because they could be.
It allows you to say, This is a recom-
mended test that we believe everybody should
have. Were not singling you out in any way,
said task force member Dr. Douglas Owens,
of Stanford University and the Veterans
Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System.
And if nalized, the task force guidelines
could extend the number of people eligible for
an HIV screening without a copay in their
doctors ofce, as part of free preventive care
under the Obama administrations health care
law. Under the task forces previous guide-
lines, only people at increased risk for HIV
which includes gay and bisexual men and
injecting drug users were eligible for that
no-copay screening.
There are a number of ways to get tested. If
youre having blood drawn for other exams,
the doctor can merely add HIV to the list, no
extra pokes or swabs needed. Todays rapid
tests can cost less than $20 and require just
rubbing a swab over the gums, with results
ready in as little as 20 minutes. Last summer,
the government approved a do-it-yourself at-
home version thats selling for about $40.
Free testing is available through various
community programs around the country,
including a CDC pilot program in drugstores
in 24 cities and rural sites.
Mondays proposal also recommends:
Testing people older and younger than 15-
64 if they are at increased risk of HIV infec-
tion,
People at very high risk for HIV infection
should be tested at least annually.
Its not clear how often to retest people at
somewhat increased risk, but perhaps every
three to ve years.
Women should be tested during each
pregnancy, something the task force has long
recommended.
The draft guidelines are open for public
comment through Dec. 17.
Most of the 50,000 new HIV infections in
the U.S. every year are among gay and bisex-
ual men, followed by heterosexual black
women.
We are not doing as well in America with
HIV testing as we would like, Dr. Jonathan
Mermin, CDCs HIV prevention chief, said
Monday.
The CDC recommends at least one routine
test for everyone ages 13 to 64, starting two
years younger than the task force recom-
mended. That small difference aside, CDC
data suggests fewer than half of adults under
65 have been tested.
It can sometimes be awkward to ask your
doctor for an HIV test, Mermin said the
reason making it routine during any health
care encounter could help.
But even though nearly three-fourths of gay
and bisexual men with undiagnosed HIV had
visited some sort of health provider in the pre-
vious year, 48 percent werent tested for HIV,
a recent CDC survey found. Emergency
rooms are considered a good spot to catch the
undiagnosed, after their illnesses and injuries
have been treated, but Mermin said only about
2 percent of ER patients known to be at
increased risk were tested while there.
Mermin calls that a tragedy. Its a missed
opportunity.
New push for most in U.S. to get at least one HIV test
Of the more than 1.1 million Americans living with HIV,nearly 1 in 5 almost 240,000 people
dont know it.

WASHINGTON For all the miracle sto-
ries of tiny preemies who survive, the sad
reality is that scientists know far too little
about what triggers premature birth and how
to prevent it. And despite some recent
progress, the U.S. has a far higher rate of
preterm births than other similar nations.
On Thursday, an international coalition said
there are a handful of proven protections
and if the U.S. and other developed countries
do a better job of using them, together they
could keep 58,000 babies a year from being
born too soon.
Thats a blip in the global epidemic of pre-
maturity: About 15 million preterm babies are
born every year, most of them in Africa and
parts of Asia where the priority is to improve
care of these fragile newborns. More than 1
million premature infants die, mostly in
developing countries, and survivors can suffer
lifelong disabilities.
But in wealthier countries, where sophisti-
cated medical care already keeps most pre-
emies alive, the focus is shifting to how to
prevent these births in the rst place. Nearly 1
in 10 births across the developed world are
preterm, and about 1 in 8 in the U.S. Only
recently have rates begun leveling off or drop-
ping in many of these countries after years of
steady increases.
Thursdays report makes clear just how
hard additional progress on that front will be
projecting an average 5 percent drop in
preterm birth rates across the highest-income
countries by 2015, if they follow the new
advice.
Shockingly, very little reduction is current-
ly possible, specialists with the World Health
Organization, Save the Children, U.S.
National Institutes of Health, March of Dimes
and other groups reported in The Lancet.
But even that improvement would translate
into about $3 billion in annuals savings from
medical bills and lost productivity, the group
calculated. Nearly half that savings would be
in the U.S.
The bigger message: Its time for a major
scientic push to gure out the causes of
preterm birth and nd some better ways to
intervene.
I dont think its hopeless at all, said
report co-author Dr. Catherine Spong, a
maternal-fetal medicine specialist at NIH who
points to clues that infections and inamma-
tion affecting the mother play a yet-to-be-
understood role.
Because healthier babies grow into healthi-
er adults, if you could improve pregnancy
outcomes, you could improve the health of the
nation, quite honestly, she added.
Over half a million U.S. babies are born
premature, before completion of the 37th
week of pregnancy. Thats 11.7 percent of the
babies born in 2011, the lowest rate of
preterm birth in a decade and down from a
peak of 12.8 percent in 2006, the March of
Dimes reported earlier this week.
Contrast that with Japan and Sweden,
where fewer than 6 percent of births are pre-
mature, or Canada and Britain where fewer
than 8 percent are.
Last spring, this same international coali-
tion provided the rst country-by-country
estimates of preterm births and recommended
some inexpensive steps that developing coun-
tries could take to improve preemie survival.
Thursdays follow-up analyzed trends in
developed countries, to come up with advice
on preventing prematurity.
The report recommends:
Nearly eliminating the practice of induc-
ing labor and C-sections scheduled much
ahead of moms due date unless theyre med-
ically necessary. Much of the recent U.S.
improvement comes from reducing elective
early deliveries, leading to a drop in late pre-
emies, babies born a few weeks early.
Helping women to quit smoking.
Smoking at some point during pregnancy
varies widely, from 10 percent in Canada to
23 percent in the U.S. and 30 percent in Spain,
the report found.
Providing regular injections of the hor-
mone progesterone to certain women at high
risk, largely because of a prior preterm birth.
A recent NIH survey of obstetricians found
just 21 percent of eligible patients received
the shots.
Putting a stitch into the cervix of certain
high-risk women, those who have whats
called a short cervix.
Using just one embryo, not multiples,
when in vitro fertilization is used.
The impact would vary. The U.S. could see
an 8 percent drop in its preterm birth rate by
2015 if it fully implemented these steps, the
report estimated, while countries such as
Sweden that already have far fewer preemies
would see their rates inch down only slightly
more, by about 2 percent.
Having one preemie greatly increases the
risk for another. Other risk factors include
pregnancy before age 17 or over 40, and the
mothers own health conditions, such as being
underweight or overweight, or having dia-
betes or high blood pressure. Thats why its
so important for women to have good care,
not only early in pregnancy, but before they
conceive, said the March of Dimes
Christopher Howson.
But all those factors explain only a portion
of preterm birth. NIHs Spong pointed to
efforts to understand how vaginal infections
and inammation may help trigger preterm
labor.
Another mystery: Why African-American
women are at higher risk, with a preterm birth
rate of about 17 percent compared to under
11 percent among white women, Howson
said.
Still, many women dont know that there
are some protections, said Nikki Fleming of
suburban Charlotte, N.C., who beneted from
two of the steps recommended in Thursdays
report and tries to spread the word.
Flemings rst baby, Lauren, was born at 26
weeks, weighing just over 2 pounds and
spending her rst ve months in the hospital.
Fortunately Lauren, now a healthy 8-year-old,
fared well. But Flemings next pregnancy
ended in a miscarriage.
Her doctor determined that she would ben-
et from that cervical stitch as well as the
progesterone shots. The result: two healthy
full-term babies.
I appreciate that they didnt treat it like an
isolated incident, Fleming said.
Report: Steps can reduce preterm births
About 15 million preterm babies are born every year, most of them in Africa and parts of Asia
where the priority is to improve care of these fragile newborns.More than 1 million premature
infants die, mostly in developing countries, and survivors can suffer lifelong disabilities.

A reverse mortgage can be an effective tool for
giving homeowners (62+) additional cash to live on
by using the equity in their home. However, it is
not a decision to be taken lightly.
Its important to work with an
experienced originator who can
help you assess your individual
situation to determine if a reverse
mortgage is right for you.
A reverse mortgage is a unique loan that
enables homeowners (62+) to borrow against their
equity without requiring them to give up title, sell
the home, or take on a monthly mortgage payment.
Proceeds can be taken either through a line of
credit, lump sum, or monthly installments.
There are no income requirements or credit
qualications on a reverse mortgage. However,
the homeowner must maintain the property as their
primary residence and remain current on property
taxes and insurance.
The Home Equity Conversion Mortgage
(HECM) provides the most money, but there is
a newer Saver HECM with signicantly lower
closing costs. Like the original HECM the Saver
HECMhas a xed and adjustable
interest rate program.

with its first pilot program and the second
pilot program, set to start Dec. 14, will pro-
vide university officials an opportunity to
refine their formal application to the city to
create an advanced entrepreneurship experi-
ence at the Collective Antiques building site
on Third Avenue.
The first pilot was held exclusively in the
old Benjamin Franklin Hotel on Third
Avenue, across the street from the Collective
Antiques building, which Tim Draper, the
universitys founder, bought earlier this
year. If Drapers plans pass muster with the
city, the university will ultimately operate
out of three buildings, including the old
Wachovia Bank site on Fourth Avenue and
hold multiple 10-week programs throughout
the year.
Draper and his project team will host a
neighborhood meeting tonight to discuss the
temporary pilot program at the hotel, locat-
ed at 44 E. Third Ave. The incubator pro-
gram is designed to support the successful
development of startups through an array of
business support resources and collaborative
mentoring with the universitys network of
contacts.
Recently, the city just relaxed its down-
town retail requirements that mandated
storefronts on ground floors be used solely
for retail purposes.
Before the city relaxed the rules, however,
the former owners of the Collective
Antiques building, the Musich family, asked
the city for a variance to allow a startup,
SnapLogic, to operate on the ground floor.
Some residents, however, urged the City
Council not to grant the variance to keep
downtown pedestrian and retail oriented.
The city denied the request before Draper
bought the building and much speculation
has centered around the plans for the
Collective Antiques building. The Planning
Commission asked Draper to fine-tune the
proposal for the Collective Antiques build-
ing before facing the commission again
sometime in early 2013.
Former planning commissioner Maxine
Turner opposed granting the variance for
SnapLogic and wants to make sure the
Collective Antiques building maintains a
retail character in line with city law.
So far, she is unimpressed with the univer-
sitys plans for the former antique shop and
laments the loss of the most historic, icon-
ic retail building in downtown.
Retail, she said, has already suffered
downtown with the arrival of the university
and other property owners in the area could
seek to displace retail with office use based
on how the city deals with Draper.
Its the domino effect, said Turner, who
plans to follow Drapers permit process to
its finale.
Draper plans to keep SnapLogic as a ten-
ant but may move it out of the basement at
the Collective Antiques building onto the
ground floor. Retail use is planned for the
site but university officials have yet to final-
ize the details.
Drapers larger vision is to create a whole
entrepreneurial ecosystem that will benefit
both San Mateo, its residents and business-
es, said Carol Lo, the universitys chief
operating officer.
Draper has said previously he expects
some of his students to establish startups in
the area after completing the course.
The second pilot program for advanced
students will be limited to 40 participants
and will be staffed by two administrators, all
of whom will live and work in the Benjamin
Franklin hotel. Lessons learned from the
pilot will be incorporated into the formal
Draper University proposal, which is cur-
rently in development and will be submitted
separately to the city for review.
Draper is the founder of the venture capi-
tal firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson and funded
Hotmail, Skype and Baidu in their infancies.
The neighborhood meeting is 6 p.m.,
tonight, 44 E. Third Ave., San Mateo.

thrown out. Judge Jack Grandsaert said he
wasnt so sure the law allowed him to consid-
er the evidence but, at the request of defense
attorney Jonathan McDougall, compromised
by temporarily increasing Elarms bail to
$500,000 until after a preliminary hearing
Monday at which both sides can fully argue
the request.
In the new case, Elarms is charged with
three times possessing weapons in the jail dur-
ing February 2011 once a spork, another a
toothbrush and a third, two pencils strapped
together. Each had been sharpened to a point
and reportedly discovered in Elarms cell.
At the time, Elarms was in custody without
bail awaiting trial for the June 8, 2010 murder
of East Palo Alto activist David Lewis in the
parking garage of Hillsdale Shopping Center
in San Mateo. Elarms began that trial this
month but a few days into jury selection and
motions, Judge Stephen Hall ruled Elarms
police confession inadmissible because San
Mateo police did not Mirandize the Pittsburg
man or respond to his numerous requests for a
lawyer. Without the confession, Hall also
ruled there was insufcient evidence for a
murder trial.
Hall let stand one jail weapons charge
already led but prosecutors opted instead to
dismiss that case so they could instead le
three similar counts. Doing so allows the pros-
ecution to keep Elarms in the legal system
while they have the state Attorney Generals
Ofce appeal Halls ruling.
Prosecutors say the confession did not vio-
late Elarms constitutional rights because
police had not arrested him yet and told him
several times he was not in custody and free to
go.
Elarms voluntarily called police six months
after Lewis murder to say he wanted to talk
and was fearful for his life. Lewis had uttered
the name Greg before dying but the case
grew cold before Elarms call.
Elarms is accused of following Lewis
from San Mateo Medical Center, where he
was an outreach worker, to the parking
garage and shooting him once in the torso.
The men reportedly knew each other from
childhood but Elarms believed Lewis had
become his enemy.
In his ruling, Hall said police preyed on
Elarms paranoia during their interrogation.
Elarms also spent months in a state mental
facility after his arrest before being found
mentally competent to stand trial.
Elarms, dressed in a red jail jumpsuit, stared
straight ahead from the jury box during the
hearing but showed no emotion to
Grandsaerts decision. He is currently sched-
uled for a Superior Court review conference
Wednesday prior to his Nov. 26 preliminary
hearing. He did not waive his right to a speedy
trial.

students. An increase in students actual-
ly results in less per-pupil funding. As a
result, the district is faced with harsh
budget realities in the next couple of
years. Parents, even those involved, are
often surprised to learn of the districts
nancial woes.
Interim Co-Superintendent Nellie
Hungerford remains positive about the
challenges. While each of the district
schools has its own culture, everyone
works to create the best opportunities for
children.
It makes us excited for us as educa-
tors, she said, adding it also gives her
hope that parents will continue to sup-
port the district and the students.
School assignments
a new approach
A problem parents were met with
quickly was one of space. Growing
enrollment can cause issues when new
families move to town. For the Coyers,
they got in contact with the Redwood
Shores principal when considering pur-
chasing the house. Her quick response
and willingness to explain the school
philosophy sealed the deal. They decid-
ed to buy. But the family couldnt regis-
ter for school until all the paperwork was
in hand. As a result, their son spent his
rst year in the district at Sandpiper
Elementary School. While a good
school, going to Sandpiper meant their
oldest son Jack was at a third school in
three years. The family also decided to
hold their youngest, Nico, back from
starting kindergarten in hopes of
enrolling them in the same school this
year. In the end, it worked out. The
Coyer boys are now attending school at
Redwood Shores Elementary School,
which is so close to their townhouse that
the family can hear the bells throughout
the day.
Sarah Muscolina, whose family
moved during the winter of 2010 from
Illinois to the Belmont neighborhood
around Fox Elementary School also had
worries about enrollment.
We were told there was going to be a
high kindergarten enrollment the coming
year so there was no guarantee that our
daughter would make it into Fox, even
though it is only a couple blocks from
our home, Muscolina said.
At the suggestion of others, they
showed up around 5:30 a.m. for registra-
tion. They were the seventh in line.
Today, her oldest is in rst grade and the
youngest is preparing to enter kinder-
garten at Fox next year. Theres since
been a shift in how the district gives
school assignments. After lengthy public
outreach, the board decided to drop
boundaries in favor of a formula that
considers space available and those
interested in a given school. First imple-
mented this year, the new algorithm
placed 96 percent of new incoming stu-
dents into the rst or second closest
schools to the familys home, said
Hungerford. In the coming years,
Hungerford said the change will allow
for schools to have enrollment closer to
the facility capacities.
Financial challenges a surprise
Families who are choosing to join the
district are often surprised by the nan-
cial challenges. Because, despite the dif-
culty, theyve found dedicated staff,
teachers and families trying to make it
work. But the year ahead will include a
tough budget conversation for the dis-
trict.
Cuts to the state budget have moved
more districts to be funded by property
tax rather than the number of students.
The Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary School District got moved
into the different funding formula.
However, property tax has been negative
in recent years. Also, districts funded by
property taxes have been asked to pay
their fair share of budget cuts. In this
year, thats $1.9 million for the district,
said Hungerford.
Increased class sizes and furloughs
could be part of the plan to keep the dis-
trict from decit spending as much as
$5.4 million in future years.
Last year, the district decit spent
more than $850,000, according to the
unaudited actual report released in
September. The habit of spending more
than has been coming in becomes a
problem in the coming school years
when the districts budget forecast
means the district wont have the 3 per-
cent required in savings. That can be
avoided by making changes. To address
this, the districts Budget Advisory
Committee has suggested looking at
increasing class sizes and implementing
district-wide furlough days.
A budget update will go before the
board in December but Hungerford is
already hopeful. Property tax projections
look to be improving, at least enough to
get the district the reserves it needs. All
of Hungerfords budget work could
change in January when Gov. Jerry
Brown is expected to release a new
weighted student funding formula.
All Hungerford can do is to be trans-
parent about the budget as the informa-
tion changes.
Involvement despite challenges
Muscolina was surprised to learn of
possible class size increases. Small class
sizes had been one of the draws to the
district in the rst place.
Patty Coyer was also surprised to learn
of the budget troubles. Shes become
involved in the attempt to educate other
parents about the situation and how they
can help.
I need to know what I can do, Coyer
said, adding she is often disheartened by
the turnout at meetings. Arent people
interested? There needs to be a sense of
urgency but many are simply not aware.
Most recently, the board and district
staff held community meetings in hopes
of spreading the word about the budget
challenges and tough decisions that will
be made this spring. Coyer believes if
people just gave a little bit more time to
schools, the district could build on the
strong community that already exists at
each school site.

Fairbank now joins more than a dozen
California Death Row inmates without
any appeals left and without an execu-
tion date.
Fairbank, already a convicted felon,
pleaded no contest to the attempted sex-
ual assault and murder of Cheek whose
partially burned body was found near
Hillsborough off Interstate 280. Cheek
had been stabbed repeatedly with a bar-
becue fork, knife and screwdriver before
being set on re.
Fairbank has since run the course of
mandatory appeals which is why District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe has said the
next logical step was to follow through
with the punishment handed down by
jurors. But even with the momentum of
California voters afrming the death
penalty by defeating Proposition 34 on
Election Day, Wagstaffe said he wasnt
surprised Mallach ruled as she did.
I respect the judges decision but we
simply didnt want to sit there and con-
tinue with delays. We wanted to try to
get the system moving. I agree the sys-
tem is broken and we need to try to make
changes and respect what the voters
want, Wagstaffe said.
California has not executed an inmate
since January 2006 and the years since
have been a tangle of legal questions,
stalls and requirements to avoid inict-
ing cruel and unusual punishment on the
condemned.
The last San Mateo County resident
sentenced to death was Alberto Alvarez
for the 2006 murder of East Palo Alto
police Ofcer Richard May.
The last San Mateo County inmate
executed was Donald Beardslee in
January 2005 for the 1981 double mur-
der of Patty Geddling and Stacey
Benjamin. At the time, Beardslee, 61,
was the longest sitting inmate on Death
Row and the 11th executed by California
since the state reinstated capital punish-
ment in 1978.
JUDGE
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2012
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Have and enjoy the day,
but be sure to pace yourself wisely when involved
in any kind of activity that draws upon your physical
and emotional energies.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Stand up for your
rights if and when you feel youre not getting a fair
shake. Reasonable adjustments can be made, but
they wont happen without your vociferous input.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Youre usually not
overly concerned about who is running the show as
long as they are doing a good job, which is OK. How-
ever, if you feel you can do a better job, jump in.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- In all probability,
youll have the wherewithal to derive huge benefts
from something that appears to have little or no
promise. Youll recognize its hidden worth.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be sure to include in
your social plans some old friends with whom youll
be at ease. Theyll be delighted to know that you still
think of them as special.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You might not make the
biggest splash, but people will know when you jump
into the pool of life with them. There is something
about you that commands attention during this cycle.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Knowledge is power,
and what you have to offer could be of tremendous
value to your colleagues. Dont let them think your
wisdom is up for grabs -- make them pay for it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Changes need not be
challenging. Instead, handled properly, they could
work for your beneft. Utilize these kinds of condi-
tions to turn a negative into a positive.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Although you might
try to avoid making a decision about something that
youre unsure of, what you should do is act in the
manner your best judgment dictates.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Because your productive
and constructive motives are so strong, you should be
able to realize any ambitious objective want. Youre in
a brief cycle in which you can achieve your dreams.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Youll make a welcome
addition to any team effort. This is especially true
for a type of activity that involves both chance and
competition.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It is important that you
have plenty of staying power and not be deterred by
any challenges. In fact, its when the fnish line is in
sight that youll blossom the most.

tional bank, a check drawn by a state or

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

signed to this case 12-0070696. Infor-
mation about postponements that are
very short in duration or that occur close
in time to the scheduled sale may not im-
mediately be reflected in the telephone
information or on the Internet Web site.
The best way to verify postponement in-
formation is to attend the scheduled sale.
