Without being on probation, a South San
Francisco man claims police detained him in
his home while performing a probation search
that led to an arrest and ve-day stint in jail
last year, according to a lawsuit led Monday.
Sean Joseph Penna is suing South San
Francisco, San Mateo County, San Mateo
Sheriffs Ofce, San Mateo Gang Task Force,
Sheriff Greg Munks, San Mateo Adult
Probation Department, Chief Stuart Forrest,
Ofcer Jason Pfarr, Ofcer Joshua Cabillo
and South San Francisco Police Chief Mike
Massoni in relation to a probation search of
his South San Francisco home November
2011 that resulted in his arrest. The problem,
according to Penna, is he was not on proba-
tion. Hes alleging violations of his civil
rights, constitutional and statutory rights, neg-
ligence, false arrest/imprisonment, battery,
conversion, intentional and negligent inic-
tion of emotional distress, trespassing, inva-
sion of privacy and defamation, according to
the 19-page lawsuit led Monday.
County Counsel John Beiers said the coun-
ty had yet to be served and has not been able
to review the allegations. A request for com-
ment from the South San Francisco city attor-
ney was not returned.
On Nov. 17, 2011, ofcers Pfarr and Cabillo
went to Pennas house on Park Way in South
San Francisco to perform a probation search,
according to the lawsuit. Penna, who was not
on probation, told ofcers he was not subject
to such a search. Ofcers demanded entry into
the home which Penna allowed. Penna was

Technology often results in opportuni-
ties for schools to work more closely
with parents but can also create a chal-
lenge.
Locally, many schools provide parents
the chance to follow their childs
progress through an online service.
Parents can log on and see grades,
progress through the year and even miss-
ing assignments. However, in lower
socioeconomic areas, parents who do
not have access to the Internet or the
basic skills for using it arent always in
the loop. The online tools arent being
accessed. To help improve parental
involvement, One Million New Internet
Users, which goes by One Million NIU,
offers classes to parents to learn about
online resources to support their chil-
dren and also for personal job training
opportunities. Recently, the Southern
California-based organization held its
rst graduation at Sequoia High School
in Redwood City.
One Million NIU CEO Larry Ortega
explained the goal is to improve gradua-
tion rates. By giving parents technology
tools to be involved in their students
life, the parents can help guide their son
or daughter toward graduating and col-
lege, he said.
Through the 40-hour training over six
weeks, the goal is to provide a bridge for
parents to give them tools they need in a
culturally-comfortable environment,
said Ortega.
In the most recent Redwood City class
of 13, for example, one parent realized
their child had not done assignments
they had claimed to have nished.
The program has been a great oppor-
tunity; it has empowered parents to bet-
ter help their kids be successful in

Former officer
takes deal for
embezzlement
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The former Half Moon Bay police ofcer accused of steal-
ing $5,700 from the Police Ofcers Association accepted a
plea deal yesterday that will land him 90
days in jail for felony embezzlement.
The settlement means Askia Mohammed
Johnson, 40, will not stand trial for
allegedly making 36 separate withdrawals
from the POA account between 2008 and
2010 while serving as its head. Instead,
Johnson will receive the three-month term
when formally sentenced Feb. 6.
Its a pretty good deal for Mr. Johnson,
said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
For the amount he took this is the range of time he would
receive. Of course, there is always the philosophical question
of whether a police ofcer should be held to a little bit higher
standard.
Johnson, who previous pleaded not guilty to all charges, has

Soda shop rebuked
for stocking candy smokes
ST. PAUL, Minn. Owners of an old-
school soda shop in St. Paul, Minn., are
being warned to kick the habit and stop
stocking novelty candy cigarettes.
City inspectors threatened a misde-
meanor citation and $500 ne if Lyndens
soda fountain is caught selling the fake
smokes again. The Star Tribune reported
Wednesday that the offering violated an
ordinance barring the sale of candy
smokes and cartoon character lighters.
A city spokesman says the warning
came after inspectors received and looked
into a complaint about the presence of the
tobacco-themed products. The ordinance
was enacted to discourage youngsters
from picking up a real smoking habit.
Shop owner Tobi Lynden says the
white candy sticks with the red tips were
her best-selling candy item but she pulled
them to avoid running afoul of the ordi-
nance.

ctional Seattle Grace Hospital.
Tullys has 47 company-run stores in
Washington and California, as well as
ve franchised stores and 58 licensed

From a Manila slum
emerges an unlikely ballerina
MANILA, Philippines The ghetto
called Aroma reeks of putrefying trash
collected by its residents for recycling.
Half-naked children with grimy faces
play on muddy dirt roads lined by crum-
bling shanties of tarpaulin walls, cracked
tin roofs and communal toilets.
From this Manila slum of garbage col-
lectors emerged an unlikely Cinderella:
ballerina Jessa Balote who at the age of
10 was plucked out of her grubby life by
a ballet school to prepare her for a life on
stage.
In four years since her audition in
2008, Jessa has performed in various pro-
ductions, including Swan Lake,
Pinocchio, Don Quixote and a local ver-
sion of Cinderella. She rode a plane for
the rst time in August to compete in the
2012 Asian Grand Prix ballet competition
for students and young dancers in Hong
Kong, where she was a nalist.
The 14-year-old Jessas unlikely suc-
cess is as much a celebration of a unique
effort by the Philippines most famous
prima ballerina, Lisa Macuja, to help
slum kids of Manila by providing them a
scholarship and classical ballet training
for six to seven years.

M is for Mystery bookstore founder
Edmund M. Kaufman died Dec. 20 from com-
plications of kidney disease at the Veterans
Administration Hospital in Palo Alto.
Kaufman, a partner emeritus at the law rm
Irell & Manella in Los Angeles, founded the
nationally-known mystery bookstore in San
Mateo in 1996.
Starting in 2000, he worked in the store full
time, becoming an impresario of author-sign-
ing events which annually numbered nearly
200.
The bookstore grew in size and prominence
to become an important stop for major mystery
authors as well as many other literary writers
on book-signing tours. Kaufman was also an
enthusiastic supporter of debut authors. The
store developed a loyal clientele of collectors
of signed rst editions nationwide and abroad
through its online newsletter. In December,
2011, Ed retired and the store closed. In April,
2012, the Mystery Writers of America
bestowed on him the 2012 Raven Award for
outstanding achievement in the mystery eld
outside the realm of creative writing.
He often said that his many years of six- and
seven-day weeks as a lawyer prepared him for
the rigors of independent
bookselling.
Kaufman was born in
Cleveland, Ohio, in 1930.
His mother died at child-
birth and he was raised by
his grandparents, who
were grocers, and an aunt.
After graduating from
Shaker Heights High
School in Cleveland, he
moved to Los Angeles
where he worked as a sales representative for
a textile rm.
He was then drafted into the U.S. Army dur-
ing the Korean War and, ironically, was sta-
tioned back in Cleveland as a plainclothes
Counter Intelligence Corps ofcer.
After the Army, he attended the University
of California at Los Angeles on the G.I. bill,
graduating with honors in 1956. He was
awarded scholarships to attend Columbia Law
School, where he was named a Kent scholar
and served as an editor of the Law Review.
He was offered a U.S. Supreme Court clerk-
ship by Justice Potter Stewart. But at age 29
married, with a young family he instead
went west and joined Irell & Manella, then an
eight-person taxation rm in Beverly Hills.
He practiced with that rm for 41 years, most
of the time as the senior member of its corpo-
rate group. He was for many years a national-
ly prominent attorney in the area of mergers
and acquisitions and corporate nance, and
was a regular speaker at many legal institutes.
In the mid-1980s, he opened the rms down-
town Los Angeles ofce, which he headed
until his retirement in 2000.
Kaufman was an avid collector of art and
for several years in the late 1970s owned an
art gallery, The Image and the Myth, in
Beverly Hills, which specialized in surrealist
works of art.
In 1980, he was among the original group of
Founders of the Museum of Contemporary
Art Los Angeles. His other passion was opera,
and in the early 1980s, he became president of
a small, short-lived opera company, the Los
Angeles Opera Theater. He subsequently
joined the board of directors of the then-
newly-formed Los Angeles Opera, serving
actively for many years, and was named a life
trustee.
He is survived by his wife, Jeannie, whom
he married in 1978; adult children Idette, Paul,
Deborah, Abram, and Nick; seven grandchil-
dren; and a brother, Lance. His rst marriage,
to Audrey Ball, ended in divorce.

A driver in a stolen vehicle hit a man getting
out of his car to attend a church Christmas
pageant and ed to his girlfriends home
where authorities later discovered ammunition
and stolen property from an earlier Millbrae
burglary, according to prosecutors.
Michael John Weiler, 27, pleaded not guilty
to charges of hit-and-run, possession of a
stolen vehicle, possession of stolen property
and unlawful possession of ammunition. At
his arraignment, he asked for a court-appoint-
ed attorney and did not waive his right to a
speedy trial. He returns to court Jan. 7 for a
preliminary hearing.
Prosecutors say Weiler was driving a stolen
Ford F-250 truck Dec. 19 when just before 7
p.m. he collided with a man exiting his vehi-
cle on the 400 block of Miller Avenue to
attend the Christmas pageant at All Souls
Church in South San Francisco. The driver did
not stop but cameras in a nearby parking lot
lmed the collision and a South San Francisco
police ofcer later recognized the truck from a
photo.
Meanwhile, the victim was taken to a local
hospital with life-threatening injuries where
he remains.
The ofcer tracked the truck to the South
San Francisco home of Weilers girlfriend and
contacted Weiler who denied any involvement
with either the stolen 1997 vehicle or the hit-
and-run incident. Two people who witnessed
the crash later identied the truck and one of
those also identied Weiler, according to the
District Attorneys Ofce.
Weilers employer later told police he saw
him driving the truck multiple times and once
lled the tank with gasoline for him. A police
search of the girlfriends home turned up the
ammunition and stolen property from a bur-
glary four days previous in Millbrae.
Prosecutors did not charge Weiler with the
burglary because they cannot establish that he
committed the crime, only that he unlawfully
possessed items from it, said District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
What are the odds he didnt? But we cant
prove it just by his having the property,
Wagstaffe said.
Weiler also has a pending felony case from
October for possession of methamphetamine.
He remains in custody on $150,000 bail.
Anyone with information about the case or
Weiler or who witnessed the collision is asked
to contact the South San Francisco Police
Department at 877-8900 or the anonymous tip
line at 952-2244.

Joe Heyming got the job of attending to his

Joe Heyming advised 28-year-old Erin to

The midwife came a little while after the baby
and took over.

Retired sheriff Don Horsley, who opted to
forego his county supervisor salary while
collecting a $200,000 pension after being
elected to the board two years ago, began
collecting a paycheck again this month.
Horsleys special salary waiver expired on
Nov. 10 and Horsley decided to begin
accepting payment, he announced
Wednesday.
Horsley said he fulfilled his campaign
commitment to avoid dou-
ble-dipping but that his
financial obligations
recently increased signifi-
cantly with the long-term
medical care of his moth-
er-in-law.
I value the opportunity
to work on behalf of the
people of San Mateo
County in my current role
and greatly appreciate the standard compen-
sation provided to elected officials, he said.
Supervisors earn approximately $115,000
annually plus another roughly $25,000 more
in benefits. During his 2010 campaign,
Horsley said he would forego both if elected.
Horsley also collects a pension for 35
years in law enforcement, including 13 as the
county sheriff. Horsley called himself for-
tunate to have the retirement plan and said
his current supervisor position will not
increase that amount in any way.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A South San Francisco man accused
of setting several res over a two-year
span, including blazes in the same apart-
ment complex where he lived and on the
street where his family resides, will
stand trial in April on multiple charges
of felony arson.
Jonas Valdiviezo Tubon, 30, pleaded
not guilty yesterday to more than a
dozen charges. After entering his plea,
he was scheduled for an April 2 jury
trial.
Tubon was originally arrested for
allegedly setting
property fires over
ve months near his
familys home on
Waverly Court but
was later tied to a
series of res begin-
ning in May 2010 on
Callan Boulevard
where he lives.
In the rst stretch
of res in front of an apartment, Tubon
allegedly burned the door mat, plastic
bags on top of the mat, the case for a re
extinguisher attached to a building next
to the apartment and trash. In May 2012,
a new crop of res began on Waverly
Court. The res targeted brush, trash
cans put out for pickup, a minivan that
was destroyed by the blaze and other
vegetation.
A neighbor installed a surveillance
camera that captured a truck driving
down the court and throwing a lighted
object in the street. The footage helped
lead to Tubon who admitted most of the
Waverly Court res, according to prose-
cutors.
Tubon remains in custody in lieu of
$750,000 bail.

WASHINGTON U.S. holiday retail
sales this year grew at the weakest pace
since 2008, when the nation was in a
deep recession. In 2012, the shopping
season was disrupted by bad weather
and consumers rising uncertainty about
the economy.
A report that tracks spending on popu-
lar holiday goods, the MasterCard
Advisors SpendingPulse, said Tuesday
that sales in the two months before
Christmas increased 0.7 percent, com-
pared with last year. Many analysts had
expected holiday sales to grow 3 to 4
percent.
In 2008, sales declined by between 2
percent and 4 percent as the nancial cri-
sis that crested that fall dragged the
economy into recession. Last year, by
contrast, retail sales in November and
December rose between 4 percent and 5
percent, according to ShopperTrak, a
separate market research rm. A 4 per-
cent increase is considered a healthy sea-
son.
Shoppers were buffeted this year by a
string of events that made them less like-
ly to spend: Superstorm Sandy and other
bad weather, the distraction of the presi-
dential election and grief about the mas-
sacre of schoolchildren in Newtown,
Conn. The numbers also show how
Washingtons current budget impasse is
trickling down to Main Street and unset-
tling consumers. If Americans remain
reluctant to spend, analysts say, econom-
ic growth could falter next year.
In the end, even steep last-minute dis-
counts werent enough to get people into
stores, said Marshal Cohen, chief
research analyst at the market research
rm NPD Inc.
A lot of the Christmas spirit was left
behind way back in Black Friday week-
end, Cohen said, referring to the tradi-
tional retail rush the day after
Thanksgiving. We had one reason after
another for consumers to say, Im going
to stick to my list and not go beyond it.
Holiday sales are a crucial indicator of
the economys strength. November and
December account for up to 40 percent
of annual sales for many retailers. If
those sales dont materialize, stores are
forced to offer steeper discounts. Thats
a boon for shoppers, but it cuts into
stores prots.
Weakest holiday sales since 2008

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.

WASHINGTON When it comes to
the nations budget challenges, congres-
sional leaders are fond of saying dismis-
sively they dont want to kick the can
down the road.
But now, a deadline hard ahead, even
derided half-measures are uncertain as
President Barack Obama and lawmakers
struggle to avert across-the-board tax
increases and spending cuts that com-
prise an economy-threatening fiscal
cliff.
Congressional officials said
Wednesday they knew of no signicant
strides toward a compromise over a long
Christmas weekend, and no negotiations
have been set.
After conferring on a conference call,
House Republican leaders said they
remain ready for talks, urged the Senate
to consider a House-passed bill that
extends all existing tax cuts, but gave no
hint they intend to call lawmakers back
into session unless the Senate rst pass-
es legislation.
The lines of communication remain
open, and we will continue to work with
our colleagues to avert the largest tax
hike in American history, and to address
the underlying problem, which is spend-
ing, the leadership said in a statement.
A short while later Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. countered
that the House leadership should allow
action on a Senate-passed bill that lets
income tax rates rise only on incomes
above $200,000 for individuals and
$250,000 for couples. The measure
could pass tomorrow if put to a vote,
he said.
The Senate is due in session Thursday,
although the immediate agenda includes
legislation setting the rules for govern-
ment surveillance of suspected spies and
terrorists abroad, including Americans,
as well as a measure providing $60 bil-
lion for victims of Superstorm Sandy.
Obama decided to cut short his Hawaii
vacation for an overnight ight expected
to get him back to the White House on
Thursday.
Apart from the cliff, other nancial
challenges loom for divided govern-
ment, where political brinkmanship has
become the norm. The Treasury dis-
closed during the day it would take
accounting measures to avoid reaching
the governments borrowing limit of
$16.4 trillion by years end. The changes
will provide about two months of addi-
tional leeway.
Separately, spending authority for
much of the government will expire on
March 27, 2013.
After weeks of negotiations, the presi-
dent urged lawmakers late last week to
scale back their ambitions for avoiding
the scal cliff and send him legislation
preventing tax cuts on all but the high-
est-earning Americans and extending
unemployment benets for the long-
term jobless. Longer, term, he said he
still supports decit cuts that were key to
the earlier talks.
Everybodys got to give a little bit in
a sensible way, he said at the White
House.
The House has no plans to convene,
following last weeks rebellion in which
conservatives torpedoed Speaker John
Boehners legislation to prevent sched-
uled tax increases on most, while letting
them take effect on million-dollar wage
earners.
How we get there, God only knows,
the Ohio Republican said of efforts to
protect the economy and taxpayers
from the tax increases and spending
cuts.
Now is the time to show leadership,
not kick the can down the road, Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.,
said a little over a week ago after
Boehner announced he would shift his
own focus from bipartisan talks to the
approach that eventually was torpedoed
by his own rank and le.
Cliff looms: Kicking the can, Washington-style
By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON The economic threat thats kept many
Americans on edge for months is nearing reality unless
the White House and Republicans cut a budget deal by New
Years Day.
Huge tax increases. Deep cuts in domestic and defense
programs. The likelihood of sinking stock prices, reduced
consumer spending and corporate layoffs. The risk of a
recession within months.
Still, the start of 2013 may turn out to be far less bleak
than feared. For one thing, the two sides may strike a short-
term agreement before New Years that postpones spending
cuts until spring. President Barack Obama and members of
Congress return to Washington Thursday.
Even if New Years passed with no deal, businesses and
consumers would not likely panic as long as some agree-
ment seemed imminent. The $671 billion in tax increases
and spending cuts could be retroactively repealed.
And the impact of the tax increases would be felt only
gradually. Most people would receive slightly less money in
each paycheck.
The simple conclusion that going off the cliff necessarily
means a recession next year is wrong, says Lewis
Alexander, an economist at Nomura Securities. It will ulti-
mately depend on how long the policies are in place.
Its always possible that negotiations between President
Obama and Republican congressional leaders will collapse
in acrimony. The prospect of permanent tax increases and
spending cuts could cause many consumers and businesses
to delay spending, hiring or expanding.
Without any agreement at all for months, the scal cliff
would cause the U.S. economy to shrink 0.5 percent in the
rst half of 2013 and fall into recession, the Congressional
Budget Ofce estimates.
But most economists expect a deal, if not by New Years
then soon after. Businesses and consumers will likely remain
calm as long as negotiators seem to be moving toward an
agreement.
The atmosphere is more important than whether the talks
spill into next year, said Paul Ashworth, an economist at
Capital Economics.

Spokesman: George
H.W. Bush in intensive care
HOUSTON Former President George
H.W. Bush has been admitted to the intensive
care unit at a Houston hospital following a
series of setbacks including
a persistent fever, but he is
alert and talking to medical
staff, his spokesman said
Wednesday.
Jim McGrath, Bushs
spokesman in Houston,
said in a brief email that
Bush was admitted to the
ICU at Methodist Hospital
on Sunday. He said doctors
are cautiously optimistic
about his treatment and
that the former president remains in guarded
condition.
No other details were released about his
medical condition, but McGrath said Bush is
surrounded by family.
The 88-year-old has been hospitalized since
Nov. 23, when he was admitted for a lingering
cough related to bronchitis after having been in
and out of the hospital for complications relat-
ed to the illness.
Earlier Wednesday, McGrath said a fever that
kept Bush in the hospital over Christmas had
gotten worse and that doctors had put him on a
liquids-only diet.
Newspapers handgun
permit map draws criticism
NEW YORK A newspapers publication
of the names and addresses of handgun permit
holders in two New York counties has sparked
online discussions and a healthy dose of
outrage.
The Journal News, a Gannett Co. newspaper
covering three counties in the Hudson Valley
north of New York City and operating the web-
site lohud.com, posted a story Sunday detailing
a public-records request it led to obtain the
information.
The 1,800-word story headlined, The gun
owner next door: What you dont know about
the weapons in your neighborhood, said the
information was sought after the Dec. 14
school shooting in Newtown, Conn., about 50
miles northeast of the papers headquarters in
White Plains. A gunman killed his mother,
drove to an elementary school and massacred
20 rst-graders and six adults, then shot him-
self. All the weapons used were legally owned
by his mother.

RAMADI, Iraq Large, noisy demonstra-
tions against Iraqs government ared for the
third time in less than a week Wednesday in
Iraqs western Anbar province, raising the
prospect of a fresh bout of unrest in a onetime
al-Qaida stronghold on Syrias doorstep.
The rallies nd echoes in the Arab Spring.
Protesters chanted the people want the down-
fall of the regime, a slogan that has rippled
across the region and was fullled in Tunisia
and Egypt. Other rallying cries blasted Prime
Minister Nouri al-Malikis government as ille-
gitimate and warned that protesters will cut off
any hand that touches us.
While the demonstrators tenacious show of
force could signal the start of a more populist
Sunni opposition movement, it risks widening
the deep and increasingly bitter rifts with the
Shiite-led government in Baghdad. If left unre-
solved, those disputes could lead to a new erup-
tion of sectarian violence.
The car bombings and other indiscriminate
attacks that still plague Iraq are primarily the
work of Sunni extremists. Vast Anbar province
was once the heart of the deadly Sunni insur-
gency that emerged after the 2003 U.S.-led
invasion, and later the birthplace of a Sunni
militia that helped American and Iraqi forces
ght al-Qaida.
Today, al-Qaida is believed to be rebuilding in
pockets of Anbar, and militants linked to it are
thought to be helping Sunni rebels try to over-
throw Syrian President Bashar Assad.
The demonstrations follow the arrest last
week of 10 bodyguards assigned to Finance
Minister Raa al-Issawi, who comes from
Anbar and is one of the central governments
most senior Sunni ofcials. He appeared before
Wednesdays rally and was held aloft by the
crowds.
Al-Issawis case is exacerbating tensions
between the Shiite-dominated government that
rose to power following the 2003 U.S.-led inva-
sion and Iraqs Sunnis, who see the detentions
as politically motivated.
The danger is that the revolution in Syria is
perpetuating Sunni opportunism and overcon-
dence in Iraq, said Ramzy Mardini, an analyst
at the Beirut-based Iraq Institute for Strategic
Studies. Al-Maliki may have sparked a Sunni
tribal movement that will attempt to harness and
capitalize on the revolutionary spirit, he said.

JOHANNESBURG Former South
African President Nelson Mandela was
released Wednesday from the hospital after
being treated for a lung infection and having
gallstones removed, a government
spokesman said.
The 94-year-old anti-apartheid icon will
continue to receive medical care at home.
Mandela had been in the hospital since
Dec. 8. In recent days, officials have said he
was improving and in good spirits, but doc-
tors have taken extraordinary care with his
health because of his age.
Mandela was released
Wednesday evening and
will receive home-based
high care at his resi-
dence in the
Johannesburg neighbor-
hood of Houghton until
he fully recovers, said
presidential spokesman
Mac Maharaj.
We thank the public
and the media for the good wishes and for
according Madiba and the family the neces-
sary privacy, said Maharaj in a statement,
using Mandelas clan name, a term of affec-
tion. The statement requested that Mandelas
privacy continue to be respected in order to
allow for the best possible conditions for full
recovery.
David Phetoe, a resident of the
Johannesburg township of Soweto, reacted
with joy when he heard that Mandela was no
longer in a hospital.
Its not always the case, when people
offer great expectations, that those expecta-
tions are fulfilled, he said. In this case, we
say in the same tone, in the Christmas mood
and in the Christmas season, let him stick
around for a while!

OPINION 9
Response to The
Second Amendment
Editor,
Despite Joseph Locastos assertion
in his letter, The Second
Amendment, in the Dec. 18 edition of
the Daily Journal, to the contrary, the
purpose of the Second Amendment is
not to keep the tyrant or dictator at
bay, a fallacy common among many
Second Amendment advocates. The
purpose of the Second Amendment
was to provide for the nations defense
at a time when we had no standing
army. Thats why that pesky bit about
a well regulated militia is in there.
Many such as Locasto either ignore
that part or twist it into meaning that
the right of gun ownership exists to
allow citizens to protect themselves
from our government. Nothing could
be further from the truth.
Paul Naas
Redwood City
Guns
Editor,
What happened in Connecticut is hor-
rible beyond belief. We, as Americans,
need to say enough! It is time for our
leaders to stop worrying about politics
and popularity, and stand up for the right
thing. We need to, as Americans, let the
citizens of Newtown know that their
children did not die in vain. That per-
haps, through the strong and sensible
steps that need to be taken, some lives
may be saved in the future.
1. No private citizen may own any
kind of semi-automatic or assault
rearm. Mandatory surrender of those
that do;
2. Selling and purchasing rearms of
any kind on the Internet is criminalized
with very strong consequences (like an
automatic 10-year prison sentence);
3. One rearm per household;
4. Much, much stronger punishments
for anyone in possession of a gun during
the commission of a crime even if
the gun is not used; and
5. Families with members in therapy
for emotional behavior, emotional prob-
lems or with any kind of criminal record
may not have rearms in their residence.
We have become so concerned with
everyones rights in the past several
decades that we have lost sight of our
responsibilities. We need to take strong
and non-political action to help ensure
the safety of our citizens especially
our precious and helpless children.

T
he great recession is fading and
current economic indicators
suggest an improving business
climate for 2013. Interest rates remain
at an all-time low, an eager workforce
is looking for employment and the
Consumer Condence Index suggests
that consumer spending is up. This
could be a great time to take that idea
youve been mulling over to start a new
business. Here are seven steps to con-
sider.
1). Prepare a Business Plan. A well-
thought out plan can put you on track
to reach your goals. Preparing a written
plan will force you to think through the
details of your business, and allow you
to express your goals to potential
investors. Learn how here:
http://www.sba.gov/category/naviga-
tion-structure/starting-managing-busi-
ness/starting-business/how-write-busi-
ness-plan.
2). Pick a Business Name That
Doesnt Confuse or Conict. Generate
several names you like before submit-
ting them to the California secretary of
state. If its a too-obvious turn of
phrase, chances are that someone is
using it. Youll invite legal challenges
from competitors if you select a name
that could cause confusion. Youll
waste time and resources if you get a
cease and desist demand, after you have
invested in designing, printing and cir-
culating marketing collateral. Best to
create a name that is unique, rather than
merely descriptive. For naming guid-
ance, see: http://www.sos.ca.gov/busi-
ness/be/forms/name-guidelines-restric-
tions.pdf.
3). Document
Your Relationship
With Your
Partner(s). Joining
forces with others
on a new endeavor
is exciting and
rewarding, and the
experience can cre-
ate lifelong bonds
with those going for the ride. But
expect to have differences of opinion
about strategy, acceptable risk, nances,
etc. Be sure to create a document for
resolving those differences when they
arise. This means putting in writing the
rights and obligations each has to the
other, and can be in the form of a part-
nership agreement, an operating agree-
ment of an LLC, or bylaws of the cor-
poration. Youll be relieved to know
there are guidelines everyone has
agreed to when a disagreement arises.
4). Protect Your Personal Assets
From Your Business Activities. This
means creating a separate legal entity,
such as a corporation, an LLC or a lim-
ited partnership, that runs the business.
That way, your personal assets are
shielded from claims by unhappy cus-
tomers, vendors or even competitors.
The key here is to follow the rules set
out by the Corporations Code.
Following these rules, not cutting cor-
ners on the reporting requirements and
proper capitalization, separate book-
keeping and records mean you retain
the shield of protection granted by the
state. If you ignore the rules, you lose
that shield. Then, ask your insurance
broker for suggested coverage for your
kind of business risk. Youll need to
budget for these basic expenses, but
remember: An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure.
5). Proper Structure for Your New
Company. Have grand plans to take
your product or service national and
need to get investment capital to grow
your business? Youll want to select the
right kind of corporate structure to
allow for investments by third parties.
Consult an attorney for this important
step. Financing your company is a topic
for another guest perspective since
there are many paths to grow your busi-
ness.
6). Build a Team of Professionals.
Whether you are seeking investments
from venture capitalists and bankers or
from your uncle, Richie Rich, investors
want to know that they are putting their
money into good hands. You might
have a great idea with a huge potential
market but if you cant execute on your
business plan, investments and loans
wont materialize. Surround yourself
with a team of key advisors (e.g., attor-
ney, CPA, insurance broker, banker) to
call upon. Word-of-mouth recommen-
dations are best, but there are plenty of
professional associations that provide
referrals for these important contacts.
7). Protect Your Rights to Your Ideas.
Do you have a new invention, a smart-
phone App, software program for a
game console, a tool or gadget for con-
sumer use or a fancy logo? Youll want
to get all federal and state law protec-
tions available to keep from being vic-
timized by someone who trades on your
Seven steps before you launch your new business
Feeling ornamental
T
he Christmas trees days before being dragged to
the curb are now numbered which is a bit sad
because, like a holiday miracle, this year it finally
passed the in-laws test for lights and sparkle.
After several years of trying, my attempt at festivity
finally got the nod from the woman with a keen eye for
tucking the yards of lights in just so to hide the wiring
and hanging the ornaments on just the right branches to
maximize the bling. Department store efforts have nothing
on the Douglas fir (or is it
Noble? My lack of tree knowl-
edge probably contributes to my
feeble effort) holding court at
her house and presenting a dif-
ferent vision every year. Maybe
blues and greens one year.
Nothing but red and silver the
next. Little drummer boys
decked out in glitter next to red
shiny snowflakes next to twists
of ribbon. This years master-
piece was a collection of family
photos in hanging frame orna-
ments mixed in with just the
right amount of balls and angels.
Its not that my household doesnt try to stack up each
season by offering up different approaches to tree festivi-
ty. There was the experiment with tinsel, never to be
repeated. The years of ribbon looped around the branches
werent bad although the dogs seemed to think the ends
were fun to pull. We briefly considered flocking but
quickly came to our senses. A tree should look like a tree,
not pink or black or, frankly, even dusted in fake white
aerosol.
Of course, using that logic, even a non-flocked tree
propped up in the corner of a living room should look
ridiculous. Its not as if one finds anything hanging on
trees in their natural state short of maybe a wobbly bird
nest or the remnants of a high school toilet papering
prank.
Yet, the holiday dictates we decorate and the need to
measure up dictates we try. This years approach was a
mix of several extra boxes of lights and minimizing the
type of oversized balls and dangling icicles to only a few
colors and shapes. It was simple. It was pretty. It passed
the test. It was also pretty unmemorable.
By the time Christmas rolls around next year, I wont
likely remember this years theme or color scheme. What
I will recall are the personal touches, the ornaments that
do make a showing from year to year not because they
look like a page from Martha Stewarts guide to perfect
decorating but because they mean something more than
hefty price tags and magazine-quality arrangements.
These include homemade ornaments from kindergarten
with a faded school picture glued onto a green construc-
tion paper circle, surrounded by broken pasta bowties and
sprinkled with glitter. Another school picture of pig tails
and gap-toothed smiles is framed by popsicle sticks shin-
ing with gold spray paint and hangs from a ragged yarn
loop. These arent anything a department store would ped-
dle.
Same goes for that poorly made impression of a
puppys paw to mark his first Christmas. Hanging it up
each year undoubtedly brings the question Remember
how he wouldnt step hard enough in the putty to make an
imprint and fought being manhandled to do so?
Similar Do you remember? questions come with that
silver ice skate, the one way too heavy for all but the stur-
diest branches so it is always stuck in the back yet repre-
sents an early outing that first year of a relationship. Or
maybe the memory comes from that tin Santa Claus
cutout from that lady in that little store in that little vil-
lage while on vacation or the San Francisco Giants orna-
ment marking the 2010 World Series win. What about the
Santa head made from an upside down light bulb and dot-
ted with cotton balls to represent the beard or the snow-
man of stacked sea shells? The pretzel? The wine glass?
The nutcracker?
Every year, these are the ornaments that elicit the
oohs and aahs when pulled from the box. These are
the tiny slices of yearly nostalgia that undoubtedly bring
with it head nods and Oh, I remember when we got
this! The ornaments are like miniature time capsules.
They may not be perfect and they may not show up in any
formal or public display and thrown all together on a
tree they might look like one big uncoordinated mess
but when it comes to representing the holiday season
there are no ornaments more fitting.

NEW YORK For the stock market,
this week hasnt been the most wonder-
ful time of the year.
U.S. stocks fell Wednesday for the
third trading day in a row. Disappointing
holiday sales weighed heavy on retail
companies, and the unwelcome scal
cliff package of higher taxes and lower
government spending loomed nearer.
The Dow Jones industrial average
slipped 24.49 points to 13,114.59. The
Standard & Poors 500 index fell 6.83 to
1,419.83 and the Nasdaq composite lost
22.44 to 2,990.16.
Karyn Cavanaugh, market strategist
with ING Investment Management in
New York, wrote a note to clients
Wednesday highlighting the less-than-
merry retail sales.
I hope that theyre reading this from
the mall, she said later, because retail
sales could use a boost.
The MasterCard Advisors
SpendingPulse report found that sales of
electronics, clothing, jewelry and home
goods increased just 0.7 percent in the
two months before Christmas compared
with the same period last year.
That was well below the 3 to 4 percent
that analysts had expected and the worst
performance since 2008, when spending
shrank during the depths of the Great
Recession.
Major U.S. retailers including
Abercrombie & Fitch, Sears Holdings,
Urban Outtters, Limited Brands, Nike
and Gap were all down. Handbag maker
Coach, a bellwether of the luxury mar-
ket, plummeted $3.39 to $54.13. It lost
nearly 6 percent of its value, more than
any other company in the S&P 500.
Right behind it was online retailer
Amazon.com, which helps analysts get a
read on the entire retail market. It lost
nearly 4 percent, falling $9.99 to
$248.63.
Plodding retail sales are a concern
because consumer spending accounts for
roughly 70 percent of the U.S. economy.
When shoppers pull back on spending,
that can take a chunk out of company
earnings, which in turn pushes down the
stock market.
The retail numbers are also a sign that
despite scattered hints of an improving
economy, including a report Wednesday
about rising home prices, many con-
sumers remain uneasy about their
prospects.

LOS ANGELES Toyota Motor
Corp. said Wednesday it has reached a
settlement worth more than $1 billion in
a case involving hundreds of lawsuits
over acceleration problems in its vehi-
cles.
The company said in a statement that
the deal will resolve cases involving
motorists who said the value of their
vehicles was adversely affected by pre-
vious recalls stemming from sudden
acceleration problems.
Lawyer Steve Berman, a plaintiffs
attorney, said the settlement is the largest
settlement in U.S. history involving
automobile defects.
We kept ghting and ghting and we
secured what we think was a good set-
tlement given the risks of this litigation,
Berman told the Associated Press.
The proposed deal was filed
Wednesday and must receive the
approval of a federal judge.
As part of the settlement, Toyota said
it will offer cash payments to eligible
customers who sold or turned in their
leased vehicles between September 2009
and December 2010.
The Japanese automaker also will
launch a program to provide supplemen-
tal warranty coverage for certain vehicle
components, and it will retrot addition-
al non-hybrid vehicle models that are
subject to a oor mat recall with a free
brake override system.
The settlement would also establish
additional driver education programs
and fund new research into advanced
safety technologies.
In keeping with our core principles,
we have structured this agreement in
ways that work to put our customers rst
and demonstrate that they can count on
Toyota to stand behind our vehicles,
said Christopher Reynolds, Toyota vice
president and general counsel.
Toyota has recalled more than 14
million vehicles worldwide due to
acceleration problems in several mod-
els and brake defects with the Prius
hybrid.

Fees undermine fliers
ability to compare fares
By Joan Lowy
WASHINGTON For many passengers, air travel is only
about nding the cheapest fare.
But as airlines offer a proliferating list of add-on services,
from early boarding to premium seating and baggage fees, the
ability to comparison-shop for the lowest total fare is eroding.
Global distribution systems that supply ight and fare data to
travel agents and online ticketing services like Orbitz and
Expedia, accounting for half of all U.S. airline tickets, complain
that airlines wont provide fee information in a way that lets
them make it handy for consumers trying to nd the best deal.
What other industry can you think of where a person buying
a product doesnt know how much its going to cost even after
hes done at the checkout counter? said Simon Gros, chairman
of the Travel Technology Association, which represents the
global distribution services and online travel industries.
The harder airlines make it for consumers to compare, the
greater opportunity you have to get to higher prices, said Kevin
Mitchell, chairman of the Business Travel Coalition, whose
members include corporate travel managers.
Now the Obama administration is wading into the issue. The
Department of Transportation is considering whether to require
airlines to provide fee information to everyone with whom they
have agreements to sell their tickets. A decision originally
scheduled for next month has been postponed to May, as regu-
lators struggle with a deluge of information from airlines
opposed to regulating fee information, and from the travel
industry and consumer groups that support such a requirement.
Meanwhile, Spirit Airlines, Allegiant Air and Southwest
Airlines with backing from industry trade associations are
asking the Supreme Court to reverse an appeals court ruling
forcing them to include taxes in their advertised fares. The
appeals court upheld a Transportation Department rule that went
in effect nearly a year ago that ended airlines leeway to adver-
tise a base airfare and show the taxes separately, often in small-
er print.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
If the 2012 side of the Carlmont High
School boys basketball team looks familiar
its because head coach Dave Low acknowl-
edges, its because it most denitely is.
Galileo, Yerba Buena, Balboa, International
Studies Academy Carlmont has been there
and done that.
But the remix, or a second whirl, of these
opponents has netted a signicantly different
result for the Scots, who are off to a 7-1 start
this season as they prepare for the Surf and
Slam Tournament in Southern California.
This year, Carlmont is 4-0 against those
teams. A year ago, the Scots were 2-2.
Were playing the same teams that we did
last year, Low said. And weve been able to
turn it around and get a few more wins. I think
whats nice is, the kids are starting to gain
more condence and game experience that
theyre going to need when we get into league
in a couple of weeks.
Carlmonts lone lost came against the
Peninsula Athletic Leagues Half Moon Bay
which put up 59 points against the Scots.
But in Carlmonts seven wins, the team is
allowing only 35 points per game.
Any coach will tell you that defense has
to be a high priority, Low said. Even last
year where our offense was sub-par, we
were still keeping teams to a reasonable
score, its just we couldnt put the ball in the
basket. Were not a big team, in terms of
height, we may not be the swarming, pres-
sure defense, but I think what we are, were
a team that plays pretty well together, very
cohesive group of kids. And with that, you
get a good defensive effort each day.
Its a team that is buying into Lows com-
mitment to defense mostly because they all
realize that their minutes depend on the D
they play.
Its kind of like, if youre not going to play
defense, youre not going to play, Low said.
Defense cannot take a game off, on any
given day, whether its practice or a game sit-
uation. You have to be at your best every sin-
gle time. We all know the offense can go

CarsonPalmer, the Raiders starting quarterback, will miss the season nale with a rib injury suffered against Carolina, opening the position
to backups Matt Leinart or Terrelle Pryor. Neither was very impressive in relief of Palmer last week.
By Michael Wagaman
ALAMEDA Oakland Raiders coach
Dennis Allen isnt ready to select a starting
quarterback for Sundays game in San Diego
and said its possible that both Matt Leinart
and Terrelle Pryor could play.
Leinart and Pryor shared reps in practice
with Oaklands rst-team offense during prac-
tice, three days after starter Carson Palmer
went out with cracked ribs and a bruised lung
after being hit from behind by Carolina
Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy.
Allen said Wednesday that Leinart and
Pryor split the workload during practice, but
Pryor later said Leinart
took the majority of reps.
Both of them looked
pretty good, Allen said.
They had a good day out
there and both of them got
reps with the (starting
offense). Well continue to
monitor it and well make
a decision at the end of the
week which way were
going to go.
Both played in last weeks loss to Carolina
after Palmer was hurt, though Pryor was in for
only a handful of plays. Leinart completed 16
of 32 for 115 yards. He also threw a momen-
tum-shifting interception
just before halftime.
Palmer had started 24
consecutive games for
Oakland after being
acquired in a midseason
trade with Cincinnati in
2011, and his absence
leaves a void at quarter-
back.
Leinart has started just
two games since 2007 while Pryor has never
started in his two NFL seasons.
While Leinart the 10th overall pick in

fter Sunday nights debacle, it
appears the San Franciscos 49ers
biggest concern isnt who the
quarterback is but who is going to catch the
ball. Through injury and/or ineffectiveness,
the 49ers are quickly reverting to the team
that last year had only one catch by a wide
receiver in the NFC Championship game.
Without an ability by the San Francisco
wideouts to get open, it wont matter if
Colin Kaepernick or Alex Smith is pulling
the trigger.
With Mario Manningham out for the rest
of the year with a
knee injury, defenses
can now focus even
more on the 49ers
best receiver, Michael
Crabtree. Shut down
Crabtree, teams can
essentially choke off
the San Francisco
passing game, in its
current incarnation.
Since Kaepernick
took over the starting
duties, the 49ers have
seemed to increasing-
ly rely on the wide receivers, while Frank
Gore out of the backeld or tight end
Vernon Davis down the seam plays have all
but disappeared.
Now may be the time the 49ers take the
cover off of Randy Moss and have him do
what he does best run down the sideline
and beat defensive backs for jump balls.
When the 49ers signed Moss, everyone
believed it was for the purpose of stretch-
ing the eld, only to see Moss used as little
more than a decoy.
Earlier this year, the team didnt really
need Moss, not with Crabtree,
Manningham and Kyle Williams all having
more productive years. But this is the NFL
and injuries are part of the game, especially
among receivers. Now the 49ers are with-
out two key receivers. Now is the time for

WASHINGTON Maybe they should call it
the Transition Bowl.
For the third consecutive year which
accounts for 60 percent of the lifespan of this
particular event the Military Bowl had coach-
ing news between the selection date and the
game.
Ralph Friedgen was red by Maryland in
2010, but he was allowed to coach the game and
ended his Terrapins career with a big win over
East Carolina.
Last year, Tim Beckman left Toledo for
Illinois, leaving replacement Matt Campbell to
lead a one-point victory over Air Force.
This year, its even more complicated.
Having rebuilt San Jose State (10-2), Mike
MacIntyre left for Colorado after the Spartans
accepted the bid that will have them facing
Bowling Green (8-4) on Thursday at RFK
Stadium. Defensive coordinator Kent Baer was
selected as the interim coach for the game and
wanted the job full-time, but he wasnt even
granted an interview.
Instead, San Diegos Ron Caragher was hired,
and Baer is going to follow MacIntyre to
Colorado.
So, talk about awkward: Caragher has already
started to set up shop with the Spartans during
Baers nal days at the school. Caragher
watched practices back in California last week
and traveled with the team to the nations capital
as an observer.
In some ways, it can be very confusing, said

SANTA CLARA Mario
Manningham limped through the
locker room on crutches, holding a
towel around his waist while trying to
keep his head high and sport a smile.
Thats not easy to do for the San
Francisco 49ers right now.
Manningham is out of the season
with a left knee injury after getting
tackled low by Leroy Hill and fum-
bling in the third quarter of San
Franciscos 42-13 loss at Seattle. The
injury to Manningham, one of San
Franciscos signature additions in the
offseason, is yet another blow to an
increasingly thinning wide receiver
corps.
Kyle Williams already is lost for the
season with a left knee injury and
tight end Vernon Davis did not partic-
ipate in Wednesdays practice while
he recovers from a concussion. Davis
took a huge hit from Seattles Kam
Chancellor and must be cleared by an
independent neurologist before he can
return.
With so many injuries to key
receivers, the 49ers (10-4-1) will rely
more than ever on Randy Moss and
rst-round pick A.J. Jenkins to sup-
port top threat Michael Crabtree,
starting Sunday against the Arizona
Cardinals (5-10) in the regular-season
nale. Niners coach Jim Harbaugh
also said Ricardo Lockette or Chad
Hall will likely be promoted from the
practice squad.
That group will have to step up,
Harbaugh said.
The loss of Manningham is a sig-
nicant setback for a team that counts
on Crabtree as its only healthy wide
receiver with more than 26 receptions
this season.
Crabtree has 77 receptions for 933
yards and seven touchdowns.
Manninghams over-the-shoulder
catch between two defenders on the
sideline in the Super Bowl propelled
the New York Giants winning TD
drive against the Patriots last
February. He ranks second with 42
catches for 449 yards and a touch-
down after missing some time previ-
ously with a shoulder injury.
After those two, San Francisco has
received limited production from its
other wide receivers.
Moss, two months shy of his 36th
birthday, has 26 receptions for 406
yards and three touchdowns. Ted
Ginn Jr., has two catches for 1 yard.
And Jenkins, drafted 30th overall out
of Illinois, has been active for three
games and has not been targeted.
About the only positive for San
Francisco is that second-year quarter-
back Colin Kaepernick often worked
with the backups and practice squad
players before being promoted over
Alex Smith six weeks ago.
I think thats why were not too
worried about it, said Kaepernick,
who is 4-2 since taking over for
Smith. Ive had a lot of practice with
those other guys.
Just not when it counts.
Jenkins couldnt crack the lineup at
the outset with Crabtree,
Manningham, Williams and Moss
ahead of him on the depth chart not
to mention Davis, Delanie Walker and
the other tight ends in Harbaughs
complicated version of the West Coast
offense. Frank Gore also has 25 catch-
es for 213 yards out of the backeld.
At the most important time of the
season, now its Jenkins and other
wide receivers with little experience
suddenly being thrust into a bigger
role.
The 49ers can still secure a No. 2
playoff seed and the rst-round
bye that comes with it with a win
against the Cardinals coupled with a
Green Bay loss at Minnesota. If they
lose and Seattle (10-5) wins at home
against St. Louis, the Seahawks will
steal the NFC West and send San
Francisco on the road for the rst
round.
Jenkins admits this year has been
one of the most frustrating of his life.
He has spent most of the season
watching and asking questions of the
veterans, and hes eager for the oppor-
tunity to show his worth when it mat-
ters most.
Going through my whole career, I
never really had to sit out, Jenkins
said. This is my rst time doing it.
Its different. You never really saw the
game from the sideline as much as I
did. But now its my opportunity to
play, so I have to be ready for it.
The most important role of the
other receivers in line to help replace
Manningham has, until this point,
been to simulate the opposition on the
scout team.

and Adrian Peterson want to cap their
sensational comebacks with Super
Bowl appearances. For now, they can
be proud of Pro Bowl spots.
So can Redskins quarterback
Robert Grifn III, one of two rookies
chosen Wednesday for the Jan. 27
NFL all-star game.
Manning missed all of the 2011
season with neck and back problems
that required several operations. He
then signed with Denver as a free
agent and has led the Broncos on a
10-game winning streak to take the
AFC West.
I know theres great players out
there in the NFL, but theres some
great players on this team this year
that deserve to go, said Manning,
whose 12th Pro Bowl is a record for
quarterbacks. He ranks fourth in
league passing this year, has thrown
34 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
Four other Broncos made the AFC
roster: DE Elvis Dumervil, linebacker
Von Miller, CB Champ Bailey and
tackle Ryan Clady. Baileys 12th
appearance is a record for defensive
backs.
My goal has always been to go out
and help the team win and play at a
high level, Manning added.
Anything that comes along with that,
like being honored as a Pro Bowl
selection, is very humbling.
Minnesotas Peterson tore up his
left knee on Christmas Eve last year,
underwent major surgery, then was
back for the season opener. Hes gone
from uncertain to unstoppable, run-
ning away with the rushing title with a
career-high 1,898 yards and lifting the
Vikings toward an NFC wild card.
Coming into the season after
going through the rehab process, I just
told myself that I wanted to lead my
team to a championship and make
sure that I contribute and do my part,
Peterson said. Ive been doing it.
Grifn is one of three rookie QBs
who had superb debut seasons, along
with Andrew Luck of Indianapolis
and Russell Wilson of Seattle. Luck
and Wilson werent voted to the Pro
Bowl by players, coaches and fans,
although their teams are in the play-
offs; Grifn can get to the postseason
if Washington beats Dallas on
Sunday.
You cant play down those kind of
things, Grifn said. Ive always said
my whole football career that you
dont play for awards. They just
come. You dont say youre going to
win the Heisman. You dont say
youre going to win MVP. You go out
and you prove it on the eld, and if
everyone feels that way then theyll
give you that award.
San Francisco had the most players
selected, nine, including six from its
second-ranked defense. Houston was
next with eight, six on offense.

ANAHEIM Wisconsin is in the
Rose Bowl for the third straight year.
This time, the Badgers are bringing a
familiar face with them on the side-
line.
Athletic director Barry Alvarez,
who won three Rose Bowls during
his coaching career in Madison,
Wis., is handling coaching duties for
the 99th Rose Bowl on Jan. 1 follow-
ing the departure of Bret Bielema for
Arkansas.
Alvarez joined his team at
Disneyland on Wednesday, along
with Stanford coach David Shaw and
the Cardinal players in the tradition-
al kick off to the weeks festivities
leading to the historic game in
Pasadena.
They were welcomed by Mickey
Mouse, who high-ved the head
coaches.
I thought these days are over,
Alvarez said. Its like a Christmas
present for me.
The Badgers (8-5) will be looking
for a win against No. 8 Stanford (11-
2) after losing on their last two trips
to Pasadena against TCU and
Oregon. Star running back Montee
Ball will be playing in his nal col-
lege game, and is happy to have
Alvarez overseeing the team.
Youve heard so much for what
hes done for the program, Ball said
in front of Sleeping Beautys castle,
decked out in a wreath and garlands
made of shiny ornaments with faux
snow on its turrets. You nally see
him in action on the sideline. Its sur-
real. He brings this kind of swagger
and condence, and its great. Thats
what you need in this sport.
Alvarez was contacted by senior
linebacker Mike Taylor as soon as he
and some of the other players got
over the surprise of Bielemas swift
departure.
You realize the only option is
coach Alvarez, Taylor said. Hes
been here a long time and has built
this program. The guys will rally
around. Its still Wisconsin football
no matter who the coach is.
Alvarez has already hired Gary
Andersen from Utah State to take
over the Badgers. Andersen plans to
stay in the background during the
Rose Bowl and focus more on evalu-
ating players and preparing for next
season.
For the game against Stanford,
Alvarez said he will rely on his coor-
dinators to handle the game plan and
he will manage the coaches, many of
whom will follow Bielema out the
door after the New Years Day game.
I didnt recruit these guys. Im not
intimate with them, but its a great
group of kids, he said. This is a
resilient group.
The game features a rematch of the
2000 edition, won 17-9 by Wisconsin
and Heisman Trophy-winning tail-
back Ron Dayne. That was
Stanfords most recent trip to the
game. The Cardinal played in the
rst Rose Bowl in 1902.
Stanford played the last two years
in the Orange and Fiesta bowls.
Those two dont mean nearly as
much as this game, tight end Zach
Ertz said. This is something we all
looked forward to growing up.
Ertz was back at Disneyland for
the rst time since coming to the
theme park as a 3-year-old, when he
went on the Dumbo the elephant ride
20 times. My mom always brings it
up.
A now grown Ertz was more inter-
ested in checking out the companion
California Adventure park, while
Ball was headed to the Tower of
Terror.
I get a little nervous still before
the drop, he said, smiling.
In his third trip out West, Ball
plans to go easy when Wisconsin vis-
its Lawrys Prime Rib for its turn at
the Beef Bowl on Friday night.
Stanford will visit the Beverly Hills
restaurant on Thursday.
The rst year I had three of them
(cuts of beef), he said. I felt really
sluggish at the game. Last year I had
1 1/2, so maybe one this year.
And Ball has a strategy for the
Beef Bowl as much as for the big
game itself.
Do not drink any water or juice
because it will ll you up, he said.
Attack the meat rst and then the
sides. The wide receivers and the
running backs, enjoy it, but try to eat
as light as possible.
Stanford, Wisconsin open Rose Bowl week
By Howard Ulman
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Tom
Brady found something encouraging in
his toughest stretch of the season.
He knows he and his New England
Patriots can come back from a huge
decit.
The two-time NFL Most Valuable
Player had his three lowest passer rat-
ings of the season in his past four
games. His 68.9 on Dec. 16 in a 41-34
loss to the San Francisco 49ers was his
worst in his last 49 regular-season
games. But at least he rallied them from
a 31-3 decit to tie that game with four
touchdowns in 15 minutes.
If were down
28 points again,
which I hope
were not, at least
you can say,
Well, weve
come back from
this before,
Brady said
Wednesday. So I
think you can
draw on those experiences, but this
week is going to be its own separate
game and were going to have to go out
there and earn it.
The Patriots showed that comeback
ability a year ago against the Miami
Dolphins, the team theyll meet in the
regular-season nale on Sunday. In last
seasons matchup at Gillette Stadium in
the next to last game before the play-
offs, the Patriots overcame a 17-0 half-
time decit by scoring the next 27
points and won 27-24.
This year, the Patriots (11-4) have
clinched the AFC East title. The
Dolphins (7-8) are out of the playoffs
for the fourth straight season.
New England can be seeded in any of
the conferences top four spots. The
Houston Texans, Denver Broncos and
Baltimore Ravens also will nish in the
top four with the top two getting rst-
round byes.
But the Patriots could be eliminated
from the No. 1 position by the time
their game starts at 4:25 p.m.
Houston (12-3) would clinch it with
a win over the Indianapolis Colts (10-5)
in a 1 p.m. game. Denver (12-3) is cur-
rently in second place in the AFC and is
home against the weak Kansas City
Chiefs at 4:25 p.m. Baltimore (10-5) is
in fourth and visits Cincinnati at 1 p.m.
Coach Bill Belichick isnt focusing
on all the possibilities.
Were doing everything we can to
get ready for the Dolphins, he said.
Ive been around this league long
enough to know that you cant predict
how things are going to go on Sundays
in the NFL. Well control what we can
control, which is to get ready and play
Miami.
Brady is taking the same approach.
No matter what Houston does, I
dont think that changes what our goal
is for the weekend, he said. Were
trying to win this game regardless. It
could be different if some other teams
win, but thats really out of our con-
trol.
The Patriots had won seven straight
games, capping that stretch with wins
over the Dolphins, 23-16, and Texans,
who entered that game with the NFLs
best record but lost 42-14.
But in the two games since then,
New England got off to poor starts in
the loss to San Francisco and a 23-16
win over the lowly Jacksonville
Jaguars last Sunday.

Baer, who also had an interim bowl gig with
Notre Dame in 2004. Sometimes its confus-
ing to me, to be honest with you. But once we
get out to practice and were handling our
business in meetings, its this group of coach-
es and this group of players thats been here
all year. Thats how were handling it. Its
going to be his football team after this, but not
til.
The shake-up has jarred the players just as
they were hoping to put an exclamation point
on perhaps the best season in school history.
The No. 24 Spartans are playing in a bowl for
the rst time since 2006, are in the AP rank-
ings for the rst time since 1975, and will be
trying to win 11 games in a season for the rst
time since 1940.
Thats quite a feat considering that San Jose
State was 1-12 just two years ago during
MacIntyres first season. Baer has been
around longer, having joined the Spartans
staff in 2008.
Ive been here with a group of young men,
a couple of coaches, that have seen some real-
ly tough times and seen this thing turn
around, Baer said. Really the goal is I
dont know if its a parting gift to the univer-
sity or the kids, or just saying, Look, weve
been in this together. Lets nish this together.
This is still the 2012 football team. This is the
last time well be together. Were very
focused on trying to be the best team ever in
San Jose State history. Im not doing it for
anybody but this group of men and coaches.
Bowling Green has a different kind of mis-
sion in mind. The Falcons also rebuilt their
program in a hurry rebounding from 2-10
two years ago and are one of seven Mid-
American Conference teams in the bowls.
Yet the MAC is off to a rough start: 0-2 so
far, both blowouts.

BOWL
that is tied with Jacksonville for worst in the
league, had ve Pro Bowlers, including RB
Jamaal Charles, who like Peterson is coming
back from a torn ACL.
One other rookie, Minnesota kicker Blair
Walsh, was chosen. Walsh has nine eld goals of
at least 50 yards, an NFL mark.
The AFC kicker is at the other end of the spec-
trum: Clevelands Phil Dawson earned his rst
selection in his 14th NFL season.
Another record setter will be heading to
Honolulu: Detroit WR Calvin Johnson.
Johnson broke Jerry Rices single-season
yards receiving record and has 1,892 yards with
a game left.
Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez set the
record for Pro Bowls at his position by being
chosen for the 13th time.
The leagues top two sackmasters, DEs Aldon
Smith of San Francisco and J.J. Watt of Houston,
were rst-time selections. Watt has 20 1-2 sacks,
one ahead of Smith; the NFL record is 22 1-2.
Other newcomers, along with Grifn, Walsh
and Dawson, were AFC players tackle Duane
Brown and guard Wade Smith of Houston; safe-
ty LaRon Landry of the Jets; kick returner
Jacoby Jones of Baltimore; and punter Dustin
Colquitt of Kansas City.
For the NFC, rst-timers were Giants WR
Victor Cruz; Atlanta WR Julio Jones; Seattle
tackle Russell Okung and center Max Unger;
San Francisco guard Mike Iupati, linebacker
NaVorro Bowman and safety Donte Whitner;
Chicago cornerback Tim Jennings and defensive
tackle Henry Melton; Washington tackle Trent
Williams and special teamer Lorenzo
Alexander; Minnesota fullback Jerome Felton;
Tampa Bay DT Gerald McCoy; and New
Orleans punter Thomas Morstead.
Eight teams had no Pro Bowl players:
Carolina, Philadelphia and St. Louis in the NFC,
Tennessee, Buffalo, Jacksonville, San Diego and
Oakland in the AFC.

American Friedel
signs new Tottenham deal
LONDON American goalkeeper Brad
Friedel has signed up for another season with
Premier League club Tottenham at age 41.
Tottenham says Friedel has signed a new
contract through 2014. He joined the London
club in June 2011.
They agreed to the deal even though
Friedels place in the starting lineup for league
matches is no longer guaranteed since Hugo
Lloris joined the club from Lyon in August.
Friedels run of 310 consecutive matches in
Englands top division, stretching back to May
2004, came to an end in October.
Friedel made 82 appearances for the United
States. He played for the Columbus Crew,
Galatasaray and Brondby before moving to
England in 1997 to join Liverpool. He spent
eight years at Blackburn, then three years at
Aston Villa before joining Tottenham.
UEFA to appeal for
tougher sanctions on Serbia
NYON, Switzerland UEFA is appealing
its own disciplinary panels sanctions against
Serbia for racial abuse in response to wide-
spread outrage that the punishment was too
lenient.
During an under-21s match in October,
Serbian fans directed monkey chants at black
England players throughout a testy match in
Krusevac, which ended in a brawl involving
players and coaches from both teams.
The British government led the condemna-
tion of the $105,000 ne imposed on the
Football Association of Serbia. Several
Serbian coaches and players were also sus-
pended, and the team was ordered to play one
under-21s match in an empty stadium.
Despite claiming they were provoked, two
England players also received bans that will
take effect at the under-21 European
Championship in June.
UEFA announced Wednesday it would
appeal all the sanctions imposed on Serbia and
England by its independent control and disci-
plinary body.
Wayne Rooney to miss
2-3 weeks with knee injury
MANCHESTER, England Manchester
United striker Wayne Rooney will miss up to
three weeks with a knee injury.
Manager Alex Ferguson says he strained a
ligament behind the knee when he tried to hit
a volley late in practice Tuesday.
The England star missed Uniteds 4-3 win
over Newcastle on Wednesday. Ferguson did-
nt specify which knee was injured.

ATLANTA The wife of former
Atlanta Braves star Andruw Jones
accused him of dragging her down a
staircase, grabbing her neck and say-
ing wanted to kill her, according to
police records.
A police report obtained by The
Associated Press said the ght hap-
pened around 1:30 a.m. on
Christmas Day, after Nicole Jones
asked her husband to help her pre-
pare their suburban Atlanta home for
Christmas morning.
Andruw Jones was free on bond
after his arrest on a battery charge,
according to Gwinnett County Jail
records. It wasnt known Wednesday
whether he has an attorney.
Nicole Jones told ofcers that she
tried to escape upstairs, but her hus-
band grabbed her by the ankle and
dragged her down some stairs, got on
top of her and said, I want to kill
you, according to the report.
Due to Andruws level of intoxi-
cation, Nicole said that she was able
to push him back and move away
from him, the report states. Nicole
Jones then went to her parents
house.
Police said they found injuries on
her neck, which they photographed
for evidence.
When ofcers arrived at the Jones
residence in the Sugarloaf Country
Club in Duluth, they said he
appeared confused about what had
happened.

through slumps.
Low pointed to Carlmonts win over Balboa
as a prime example of this philosophy. In that
game, Low said the offense has its worst
showing of the young season. They were get-
ting good looks, but the shots werent falling.
Still, the Scots limited the Pirates to 38 points
and came up with the win.
Theyre understanding that if dont play
defense, we dont win games, Low said.
Better defense has opened the door for more
offensive standouts. Most notably, the rise of
Yash Malik is a promising point for the sen-
ior-heavy Scots.
Yash has improved significantly, Low
said of his guard, whos scored as many as 26
in the years early stages. Most of that rise
coming from a new sense of condence and
belonging. Maliks size, 6-2, has also given
Scots advantages on the perimeter.
He worked extremely hard over the sum-
mer, Low said. Thats carried on to our early
season. And hes shooting well, his defense on
the perimeter has been solid.
Along with Malik, Michael Costello has
been a steady offensive presence for the Scots.
Hes done nothing that surprises me, Low
said of his junior. He can shoot like Yash
from the perimeter, he can put the ball down
and get to the basket or pull up and hit the
mid-range jumper. Hes a solid package right
now.
Mduduzi Hlatshawyo, point guard, has been
Carlmonts defensive leader.
Hes really starting to understand how to
control the game. So, thats a plus as well,
Low said.
The Scots are down in San Diego for three
games at the Surf and Slam tournament and
come back for a game against Jefferson before
they begin PAL play.
I would like to see our defense get even
better which it can, Low said, adding that
the next two weeks will also revolve around
nding a third scorer to compliment Malik
and Costello. Defensively, I want to be even
stronger than we are so far.
SCOTS
Moss to step up and show us why he is a
Hall of Famer.
Maybe this has been Harbaughs plan all
along: wait for the most dire situation before
unleashing Moss vertical attack. The team is
certainly set up for it and maybe thats why
Harbaugh turned to Kaepernick as his starter.
The biggest knock on Alex Smith has been
his arm strength. Not so with Kaepernick.
Harbaugh knew to take advantage of Moss
strength, he needed a quarterback who could
get the ball there. He has that in Kaepernick.
Now is the time to unleash that tandem.

Cal-Hi Sports released its nal football

Serra (9-3) was ranked 15th in the

while Central Coast Section Division IV
champion Sacred Heart Prep (11-2) was
ranked 5th in the Division III poll. Menlo
School (10-3), which lost to SHP in the CCS

in Division III.
Menlo was also mentioned as a Division

If youre a skier or snowboader, I highly
suggest you get up to the mountains soon.
Most of the resorts in the Sierra Nevada are
at or near 100 percent operations following
these last couple of storms to hit California
this past weekend.
I know from rst-hand experience there is
a ton of snow because I had to drive
through it this holiday weekend. No longer a
skier (too expensive), my family and I trav-
eled to the Reno area to celebrate Christmas
with my brother and parents. The storms
wreak havoc on our travel. It took us 13
hours to get there Saturday leaving at
6:30 a.m. and arriving at my parents place
around 7:30 p.m.
Coming home was quicker, but not by
much 10 hours on Christmas Day. Both
going and coming required the use of tire
cables to deal with the thick layer of snow
and ice on Interstate 80, at least when it was
open. Both times, we encountered three-hour
delays when 80 was shut down to deal with
snow and accidents.
Between travel days, however, we got to
celebrate a white Christmas.

Even though I am a long-time gun propo-
nent and a one-time member of the
National Rie Association I realize some-
thing needs to be done about guns in this
country. Since I see shooting guns as a viable
sport, I gured I might as well give my two
cents on the whole gun-control debate.
Even if the government forced gun manu-
facturers to cease creating and selling
rearms today, there are still enough already
in circulation that it would not make a dent
in the availability of rearms both legally
and illegally.
And, accepting the fact criminals and crim-
inally insane will get their hands on them to
wreak havoc, why not give the good guys a
ghting chance? I suggest the government
loosens up its carrying-a-concealed-weapon
program. This would not give anyone any
more free reign to run around with a gun
than right now; it would just allow those who
choose to go through the proper channels an
opportunity to do what they see as their con-
stitutional right.
Who knows? Maybe someone legally car-
rying a weapon stops or limits the next
tragedy.

2006 has more experience than Pryor, Allen
noted the Raiders offense would be limited in
some capacity no matter who starts.
I dont think youre going to be the same with
either quarterback as you would with Carson
because Carsons been getting all the reps and he
has the full command of the offense, Allen said.
So yeah, I would think wed be scaled back a lit-
tle bit with either one of those quarterbacks that
would play.
Allen said after the loss to Carolina that
Leinart would remain ahead of Pryor on the
depth chart, but changed his mind after reviewing
lm when he decided to keep the competition
open.
We got a chance to see what Matt could do
and we might need to see a little bit more of
Terrelle, Allen said. Theyre two totally differ-
ent quarterbacks. Terrelle obviously is an athlet-
ic quarterback that can really do some things on
the move. Matts a little bit more your prototypi-
cal pocket passer. So when you look at those
guys youve got to take into account those skill
sets and what they do well.
Leinart was unavailable for comment and a
team spokesman said the former Heisman
Trophy winner wont talk until Friday.
Pryor, a third-round pick in the 2011 supple-
mental draft, was just thankful for the extra work
in practice after running the scout team for most
of the season.
That two or three snaps I get, Im happy with
it because its way more than I was getting,
Pryor said. Today I thought I did a fairly decent
job. I commend Coach Allen and Coach (Greg)
Knapp. They knew I wasnt ready. Still may not
be. Im just trying to work hard. I feel like Im
close.
Palmer, who will not accompany the team on
its ight to San Diego because of his bruised
lung, nishes with the second-most yards pass-
ing by a Raiders quarterback in a single season.

The intricacies of plant patenting
came home for me this past year with a
shipment of strawberry plants.
Strawberry plants send out runners,
thin stems on the ends of which new
plants form, which themselves take root
and bear fruit and send out more run-
ners. Those daughter plants forming at
the ends of runners are useful for lling
in a strawberry bed as well as for trans-
planting elsewhere to make a new bed.
But these particular plants that I
bought last spring were a patented vari-
ety (Chandler). So transplanting those
daughter plants would constitute a
crime.
How about just letting the plants root
by themselves? OK, but only for fruit
production to ll in my strawberry bed.
Propagation of any plant produced asex-
ually (that is, not by seed) just to make
new plants is forbidden under the Plant
Patent Act of 1930.
The only exceptions are plants propa-
gated by edible tubers white potatoes,
for example. Growers of white potatoes
evidently were vocal enough back when
the Act was being drafted to press for the
right to save and replant their own pota-
to tubers.
THE BEGINNINGS
OF PLANT PROTECTION
Some might argue that the Plant Patent
Act was too long in coming. If it had
been in place earlier, then Stark Brothers
Nursery, which bought propagation
rights to the original Red Delicious
apple for $3,000 in 1894, would not
have had to erect a cage around the orig-
inal Red Delicious tree. That cage only
stopped people from using the original
tree for propagation, however; once
Stark Brothers started selling trees, those
trees could be used by anyone to propa-
gate new ones.
ON TO SEEDS, EVEN GENES
The 1930 legislation was broadened,
in 1970, with the Plant Variety
Protection Act.
It meant that seeds, which are sexual-
ly produced when pollen fertilizes eggs,
could now also be protected by patents
so-called utility patents. Thats the
same kind of patent used for, say, a new
and better stapler or dog whistle or
more recently and controversially
genes.
To be offered patent protection, a seed
Patents and trademarks:
My plants broke the law
Chandler strawberries are a patented variety so transplanting daughter plants would constitute a crime.

Some Red Delicious
better than others
By Lee Reich
The apple I handed my daughter was no ordinary Red
Delicious. She was about to sink her teeth into more than a
hundred years of history.
Red Delicious the kind you see at the supermarket is
one of the leading commercial apple varieties in the world. But
this particular piece of fruit was something else: the original
Red Delicious. And its rare today.
For its origins, lets backtrack to 1872. The place: Peru,
Iowa.
AND THE WINNER IS ... HAWKEYE
Thats where an apple tree was sprouting, on Jesse Hiatts
farm, from some seed dropped by chance. The seedling was
growing from the still-living roots of a tree Hiatt had cut down
once before. This time around, he let it grow and bear fruit.
And this time, he tasted the fruit, and evidently liked it enough
to promote it as a new variety, which he named Hawkeye.
A couple of decades later, in 1893, Stark Brothers Nursery
was sponsoring a contest for new apples. Hiatt entered his
Hawkeye, which Clarence Stark declared delicious. But fate
again almost cut short this apples career when the slip of
paper identifying who had sent it was lost.
Fortunately, Hiatt re-entered the fruit in the following years
contest. Stark Brothers bought rights to propagate the tree,
attached the name Delicious, and the rest is history.
To protect their investment, Stark Brothers erected a cage
around Hiatts tree to prevent anyone from snipping off
branches to graft and make into new trees.
THE NEW DELICIOUSES
The fruit that made Clarence Starks mouth water was not
the same as the Red Delicious fruit on todays grocers
shelves. That original was nowhere near as pointy in shape as
todays Delicious, nor as fully and richly red. Those cosmetic
transformations came about through mutations over the years
in the buds of Red Delicious trees. Red Delicious is prone to
such spontaneous transformations, and when a branch grows
from such a bud, the whole resulting branch and subsequent
branches from it carry on the change.
On the theory that people buy fruit with their eyes and that
redder is better, branches bearing redder fruit were the ones
used to propagate new trees. Also propagated were branches
bearing more elongated fruit, deemed to be more appealing in
the market because they had more Red Deliciousness. Those
changes led to various strains of Red Delicious. The original
was called Starking, then came Ruby Red, Royal Red, Top
Red, Starkrimson and hundreds of others.
Those same mutations that inuenced color and shape were
also associated with subtle changes in avor. Whats more, the
fruit of some of those strains colors up as much as two weeks
before harvest, which could result in some pretty bad-tasting
apples if an unscrupulous fruit grower were trying to sell sole-
ly on eye appeal.
But back to that apple my daughter bit into: This tree was
propagated, by me, from a branch of a branch of a branch, and
so forth, of the original Red Delicious, the same one that Stark
and Hiatt liked so much.

pared to deny the states waiver application,
although the rejection has not yet been for-
mally issued.
I look forward to thoroughly examining
the rationale the administration provides for
its decision and will continue to explore
every avenue for providing Californias
schools and students the relief they
deserve, Torlakson said in a statement.
After missing two deadlines for waivers,
California in June submitted a last-minute,
customized exemption from the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act, as No Child
Left Behind is formally known. The state
said even though it did not comply with the
specifics of some waiver requirements, it
was adhering to them in principle.
U.S. education officials did not return a
request for comment Wednesday. The
department has received a total of 47 waiver
requests, and approvals have been issued to
33 states and the District of Columbia so far.
Under the laws key provision, schools
must raise all students to proficiency levels
in English-language arts and math by 2014.
If a waiver is not obtained and Congress
does not revise the law, Torlakson has said
that more than half of Californias low-
income schools would be labeled as fail-
ing. That could lead to radical reforms
such as state takeovers and charter conver-
sions, and affect hundreds of millions of
dollars in federal funding.
Critics have long charged that No Child
Left Behind is too inflexible and relies too
heavily on standardized test scores. The
result has been that too many schools have
been classified as failing, they say.
Last year, the Obama administration
agreed to issue a two-year waiver for states
that meet three main criteria: adoption of
rigorous academic achievement standards, a
program to focus on turning around low
performing schools, and the most con-
tentious provision, an accountability system
that would involve using test scores to eval-
uate teachers and principals.
But Torlakson said waivers should be
granted without strings attached and said
the requirements were too costly for a state
mired in fiscal problems. State education
officials estimated it would cost $2 billion
to $2.7 billion to meet the waiver criteria.
The state has already committed to the
first requirement through the adoption of
the national curriculum known as the
Common Core State Standards, but the
states main teachers union, the California
Teachers Association, has steadfastly
refused to agree to incorporate test scores as
a measure of classroom performance.
Instead, California based its waiver appli-
cation on its current measure of school
achievement, called the Academic
Performance Index, and several initiatives
under way to boost teacher effectiveness.
Taken together, these initiatives will pro-
vide California the opportunity to redesign
the system of school accountability to
ensure that it is more meaningful and more
inclusive than the current federal accounta-
bility system, Torlakson wrote in a letter
Friday to district superintendents.
School reformers said the waiver rejec-
tion shows that California is increasingly
out of step with educational progress
nationwide.
If the state had submitted an adequate
application, low-income schools would also
have gained flexibility in how they can use
federal money, noted Erin Shaw, spokes-
woman for Students First, a Sacramento-
based reform group.
This unfortunately comes at a time when
school budgets remain tight and the fiscal
cliff looms, Shaw said in a statement.
California has already left millions of
badly needed federal dollars on the table by
failing to submit competitive applications
for Race to the Top funding. Its time to
change the system that rejects accountabili-
ty and continually risks classroom resources
that rightfully belong to students.
The teachers association and Torlakson
have said they are in favor of Congress
rewriting the Elementary and Secondary
Act to incorporate state policy differences
and to give more flexibility.
BID
variety must not have been sold in the U.S. for
longer than a year, or elsewhere for longer
than four years. The variety must also repro-
duce reliably and be distinct.
Distinctiveness has always been a potential
bone of contention, especially since DNA n-
gerprinting can now be used to unlock a
plants genetic code, some of which is just
junk, not expressing any trait.
Patents are valid for about 20 years, after
which anyone can propagate the plant for sale
or otherwise. Someone could even then pro-
duce hybrid seeds, produced by crossing spe-
cic parents, because patents, available for
anyone to see, spell out exactly how a product
is made.
WHATS IN A NAME?
Enter trademarks. Whether or not a plant
has been patented, it could be assigned a
trademark name. Whats more, that trademark
is assigned to a company or individual, who
could put that name on any of their plants,
even a few different ones. A patented variety
also could be marketed under more than one
trademark.
A patented plant is one thing and a trade-
mark name another. Patents have a limited
life; trademarks can be renewed indenitely,
which makes them useful. If you start selling
some outstanding patented plant under a
trademarked name, people will continue to
buy it under that trademark even after the
patent expires. Other people could propagate
the patented plant, but could not sell it under
your trademark.
A plant label stating PPAF (plant patent
applied for) means, for plants, the same thing
as patent pending for anything; PVR
(Plant Variety Rights) means the plant has
been patented. A plant may be patented,
though, without it stating so on its label.
Names of trademarked plants are followed by
the symbol (at).
I recently learned that three birch trees I
planted have broken a rule about patenting
and trademarking. They are Heritage birches.
The variety name under the patent is Heritage,
and the plant was later trademarked Heritage.
Thats a no-no: a variety and trademark name
must be different.
Oh well, Im not the one who broke the rule,
and the plant is pest-resistant and beautiful
desspite its brush with the law.
Growing grapes can
take time, attention
Grapes are a great backyard choice if youre
seeking delicious juice, some wine to savor or
snacks fresh from the vine. But look elsewhere
if its low maintenance or fast production that
you want.
Grapevines need a lot of attention and as
many as ve years to mature from bare root
plants.
Its less expensive to do grapes than tradi-
tional landscaping like shrubs and owers
from an investment viewpoint, said Tom
Powers, author of The Organic Backyard
Vineyard (Timber Press, 2012). The trade-
out is that you have to put in more mainte-
nance time.
Starting a small vineyard also requires plan-
ning. Does your preference run to table grapes
or wine grapes? American or European culti-
vars? Do you plan to use chemical pesticides
and herbicides or go organic?
Whatever you decide, dont let a lack of
space stop you, said Powers, who has designed
and installed more than 100 vineyards, prima-
rily around the San Francisco Bay Area.
If you are simply hoping to plant some
table grapes to enjoy for home consumption,
you do not need a vineyard, he said. You can
grow grapevines up an arbor, over a fence or
against a wall.
Wine grapes, however, should be trained to
grow on a trellis. That makes them easier to
manage and allows the sun to reach the leaves,
which produces good fruit.
Even a few rows of vines can produce
enough grapes to make several hundred bottles
of wine every year, Powers said.
Here are some additional grape-growing
basics:
Selection/hardiness: Match the grapes to
your climate by knowing how many frost-free
days theyll need to ripen, Powers said.
Spacing: Vines planted for training on a
trellis normally are spaced 8 feet apart, while
those planted for training on an arbor can be
placed 4 feet apart, said Gary Gao, a small-
fruit specialist with Ohio State University
Extension.
Soil: Most any kind will do, but the best are
those combining fertility with good drainage.
Sunlight: At least eight hours a day.
Photosynthesis uses energy from the sun to
convert carbon dioxide to sugar. This is impor-
tant, Powers said, because sugars are the basic
building blocks of the components giving wine
its avor.

When it became clear that allergies would
prevent Nancy B. Westfalls infant daughter
from having a rug in her room, the Atlanta-
based artist turned instead to paint, a few
stencils and a plan.
Westfall used the babys bedroom oor
much like she would a canvas, painting on it
a diamond-shaped pattern that gave the space
a custom look you simply cant achieve with
a kids area rug.
Eleven years and another house later,
Westfall remains a big fan of bringing oors
to life with color instead of covering them up.
They look pretty renished, and they look
even better painted, Westfall says.
You dont have to be a professional artist
like Westfall to do it, although proponents of
painting the oor say it does require patience
and nerve.
Rachel Cannon Lewis, an interior designer
in Baton Rouge, La., encourages clients to
consider it. Painting a oor, whether its
wood or concrete, can be more affordable
than tile, carpet or other oor coverings, she
says.
And in homes that date back more than a
century, painted oors are more historically
accurate: Back then, people frequently paint-
ed their wide, plank wood oors to protect
them from warping, Lewis says.
Plus, painting just looks good.
Im starting to think of the oor as the
sixth wall, says Lewis, who considers oors
an overlooked opportunity to get creative
and introduce color. (The fth wall, by the
way, is the ceiling).
Painting oors yourself can be a lengthy
process, Lewis says, primarily because the
thin, oil-based paint she recommends
requires multiple coats, with lengthy dry
times between each one. Getting fancier by,
say, creating a pattern with paint or a stencil,
requires even more patience and precision.
Even if you hire a professional painter,
however, You have to be willing to embrace
the idea that its going to be a different solu-
tion than what most people tell you to do,
Lewis says.
There are going to be friends that come
over who dont get it, and your mom is not
going to get it, she says. But I love the
notoriety that comes with pushing the enve-
lope and going for it.
Painted oors are not as durable as some of
the alternatives, especially in high-traffic
areas, says Sidney Wagner, a Charleston,
S.C., interior designer.
Over time, even with polyurethane, they
will show scratches and the paint will scratch
off, she says. However, a tip to help combat
your oors from looking too shabby is to
paint a contrasting layer of color underneath.
So when that second layer of color comes
through with the scratches, the marred oors
will look planned with your color scheme.
Carol Charny, a Larchmont, N.Y.-based
interior designer, says that painting oors
requires a bit of throwing caution to the wind.
You can do anything you want. The world
is your oyster, she says. You just have to
disengage from fear.
In the home interiors shop she used to own,
Charny used black and white paint to make
the oor look like it was covered with an area
rug, complete with fringe.
She warns that the margin for error grows
with the complexity of the project. Youre
not going to paint an Oriental rug, she says.
On the other hand, the beauty of using
paint is that, if something goes awry, you can
cover it up.
You have to relax, she says. Its only
paint.
Paint: Dramatic, low-cost floor covering
Painted oors are not as durable as some of the alternatives, especially in high-trafc areas.

WASHINGTON District of
Columbia police say they are investigat-
ing an incident in which NBC News
journalist David Gregory displayed
what he described as a high-capacity
ammunition magazine on Meet the
Press.
Gun laws in the nations capital gen-
erally restrict the possession of high-
capacity magazines, regardless of
whether the device is attached to a
rearm. Gregory held up the magazine
as a prop for Sundays segment, appar-
ently to make a point during an inter-
view, even though D.C. police say NBC
had already been advised not to use it in
the show.
NBC contacted (the Metropolitan
Police Department) inquiring if they
could utilize a high capacity magazine
for their segment. NBC was informed
that possession of a high capacity mag-
azine is not permissible and their
request was denied. This matter is cur-
rently being investigated, police
spokeswoman Gwendolyn Crump said
in a written statement. She declined to
comment further.
While interviewing National Rifle
Association CEO Wayne LaPierre for
Sundays program, Gregory held up an
object that he said was a magazine that
could hold 30 rounds.
Here is a magazine for ammunition
that carries 30 bullets. Now, isnt it pos-
sible that if we got rid of these, if we
replaced them and said, Well, you can
only have a magazine that carries ve
bullets or ten bullets, isnt it just possi-
ble that we could reduce the carnage in
a situation like Newtown? Gregory
asked, referring to the December 14
shooting in which a gunman massacred
20 children and 6 adults at Sandy Hook
Elementary School in Connecticut.
LaPierre replied: I dont believe
thats going to make one difference.
There are so many different ways to
evade that even if you had that ban.
It was not clear how or where Gregory
obtained the magazine, and an NBC
News spokeswoman declined to com-
ment Wednesday.
Meet the Press is generally taped in

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27, 2012
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you fail to take
action while youre in an industrious mood, you
are likely to put off certain essential tasks. Your
indifference is likely to grow in proportion to your
procrastination.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be exceptionally
careful not to be overly possessive with a very
close friend or family member. Even if you feel it is
for his or her own good, this person will resent the
restriction.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- It would be best
not to seek too many opinions about an important
matter that you must decide. Superfuous input
merely generates confusion.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Assignments you enjoy
and are good at will be done rather well and without
incident. Conversely, your performance might wane
with anything that takes considerable patience.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Even if something
might look like a sure bet, you should subdue
inclinations to take any speculative risks. Gambles
need to be analyzed from every angle, and even that
might not tell all.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Its time to put your ear
to the grindstone, no matter how diffcult the task.
You may experience some inertia, especially toward
diffcult or complex tasks, but youll overcome it.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It would be best to
keep involvements with friends purely fun. Under no
circumstances should they be drawn into any of your
serious, confdential affairs.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont use your intimacy
with friends to pry inconsequential favors from
them. If you do, chances are they might not be
responsive when you need them for something really
important.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you get involved
in a serious discussion with a friend today, dont
give him or her any reason to think youre hiding
something. You need to be as open and frank as
possible.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- When it comes to a
joint venture, think twice about allowing someone
who isnt directly involved to become part of the
enterprise. This persons only contribution might be
complications.
