California students will no longer
be using No. 2 pencils to ll in mul-
tiple-choice bubbles and instead
write longer answers under a pro-
posal to revamp the states testing
system released by State
Superintendent Tom Torlakson
Tuesday.
Californias not content to stand
still, said Torlakson during a media
call Tuesday.
Torlaksons goal is to reduce the
number of tests while emphasizing
critical thinking
with more

California focus

E n g l i s h .
However, stu-
dents are
required under the Common Core
Standards to understand much
more. New tests are proposed to be
rolled out starting in the 2014-15
school year. They will include more
subjects like science and possibly
be used to determine if a student
meets high school graduation stan-
dards, eliminating the states exit
exam. Tests will be scored both by
hand and computers. The
Legislature must sign off on
changes and provide guidelines
before work can get started.
Torlakson outlined 12 sugges-
tions to move from the paper-and-
pencil based Standardized Testing

ments, known as STAR, with com-

Kimberly Klaiber said work on her home will be complete by the time they face a judge next month.The city of
San Mateo is suing the family to abate a public nuisance due to excessive code enforcement violations.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A San Mateo family forced to
vacate their home due to excessive
code enforcement violations told the
Daily Journal yesterday that work
on the home will be complete by the
time they face a judge next month.
We are so close, Kimberly
Klaiber said.
The city is suing the Klaiber fam-
ily and Patricia Barnes, who own a
home together at 227 Lindbergh St.
in the Shoreview neighborhood, to
try and force them to complete work
on the inside of the house and to
clear the yard of a huge pile of junk
and garbage.
The city red-tagged the home
recently and Mark Klaiber has since
lived in a tent in the front yard to
protect the familys possessions, as
the Daily Journal rst reported Jan.
2.
Since that story came out, the
family was the subject of two differ-
ent television reports highlighting
their woes which prompted an out-
pouring of support for the family
willing to help them complete work

A former cleaner at Electronic Arts in
Redwood City is suing the gamemaker and its
security rm for failing to protect her from
multiple sexual assaults by a guard who is
now serving nine years in prison.
The woman, who is not being named by the
Daily Journal, claims in the suit led Jan. 7
that Electronic Arts and Allied Barton
Security knew or should have known that
Raymond Nygard was stalking and assaulting
her on three occasions over a six-week period
in 2011.
Nygard is also named as a defendant in the
suit filed in San Mateo County Superior
Court.
Nygard was unsupervised, allowed to
manipulate security devices to his advantage
and was caught on camera committing the
crimes but the lm was never viewed or
investigated, the suit states.
An Electronic Arts representative said the
company does not comment on pending liti-
gation. Allied Barton Security did not
respond to a request for comment.
The womans attorney, Gustavo Pena,
declined to go into the specic facts of the
case such as the camera allegations but said
he is condent enough to include them in the
suit.
Last July, Nygard, 32, pleaded no contest
to two charges of forcible oral copulation
and one charge of forcible rape. In October,
he was sentenced to nine years in prison
and had his security guard license confis-
cated.
According to prosecutors during the case,
Nygard assaulted the woman on Jan. 9, Jan.
23 and Feb. 6, 2011 when she cleaned
Electronic Arts on Sundays and threatened to
have her red or deported if she did not com-
ply.
During the last incident, Nygard picked up
the victim, took her into another room and
then assaulted her, according to the District
Attorneys Ofce. He was originally charged
with kidnapping as a result, leaving him fac-
ing life in prison before settling his case on
the sexual assault counts.
The suit claims Nygard was given free
reign of the premises at 250 Shoreline Drive
and that both Allied Barton Security and EA
should have known what was going on
because they owned, controlled or managed
the property.
Rape victim sues EA, security firm
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The owner of Redwood City marina Petes
Harbor sent the state nearly $180,000 for back
rent, interest and penalties but did so under
protest because her attorney said she has
unsuccessfully been trying to pay.
Paula Uccelli sent a check for $179,357.03
to Californias State Land Commission on
Jan. 7, according to documents provided by
her attorney, Ted Hannig.
Uccelli and her now-deceased husband,
Pete, tried paying the rent since the lease
began in June 1984 but inquiries as to the cor-
rect person for receiving the money went
unanswered. Instead, according to the letter
Hannig sent to Public Lands Manager Grace
Kato, the funds were paid annually into a sep-
arate account. In September 2012, Paula
Uccelli went to Sacramento to resolve the
matter but the state responded it did not know
how much was due, the letter states. In
November, though, the state demanded
$178,420 which the letter said does not
include credit for any rent already paid.
Uccelli is paying the funds to avoid risking
the loss of the lease.
Uccellis money struggles with the state
commission came to light after she
announced plans to evict live-aboard boat
tenants and sell the land to a developer for
conversion into 411 waterfront housing units.
The tenants and supporters have waged a
public ght against the plan and the citys
approval of necessary permits, going so far as
appealing the matter to the City Council later
this month.
In his letter, Hannig writes also that in
December the commission offered to give
Uccelli more time to resolve the matter if she
allowed the renters to remain on the premises
while making repairs to the docks and premis-
es. The direct communication with the renters
about their tenancies is unlawful interfer-
ence and inappropriate, Hannig wrote.

STATE GOVERNMENT
On Tuesday, state Sen. Leland Yee, D-
San Francisco/San Mateo, introduced leg-
islation that will dene and limit the use of
solitary confinement at state and county
juvenile correctional facilities. Among the
provisions of Senate Bill 61, the bill would:
dene solitary connement as the involun-
tary placement in a room or cell in isolation
from persons other than staff and attorneys;
provide that solitary connement shall only
be used when a minor poses an immediate
and substantial risk of harm to others or the
security of the facility, and all other less
restrictive options have been exhausted; pro-
vide that a minor or ward shall only be held
in solitary connement for the minimum
time necessary to address the safety risk;
provide additional restrictions on the use of
solitary connement for minors with suicidal
or self-harming behavior; provide that clini-
cal staff shall review minors or wards regu-
larly to ensure that their physical and mental
health is not endangered; empower existing
county juvenile justice commissions to
report on the use of solitary connement in
juvenile facilities.
CITY GOVERNMENT
The San Carlos Chamber of
Commerce is holding an update on the pro-
posed Wheeler Plaza development at its
upcoming meeting of the government affairs
council. The meeting is open to the public.
The proposed project by developer
Silverstone Communities concerns the
parking lot behind Laurel Street and San
Carlos Avenue, fronting Walnut Street, and
several city-owned buildings along San
Carlos Avenue and Laurel Street. The project
is split into three components: the Wheeler
Plaza mixed-use plan to replace the parking
lot and retail with 9,855 square feet of com-
mercial space and 108 residential units above
a three-level parking garage; the Laurel
Street commercial and plaza component
which includes the public space and a two-
story 4,500-square-foot building for restau-
rant and ofce space; and the Cherry Street
affordable housing component which would
include a 31-unit building.
The City Council has already certied the
nal environmental impact report so that if
the city or developer ever wants to move
ahead, it can. The project was paused after
the state dismantled redevelopment agencies.
The chamber update is 8 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Friday, Jan. 11 at the San Carlos Library,
Second Floor community meeting rooms.
San Bruno residents and business own-
ers who want to learn more about the single-
use plastic bag ordinance can learn more
about it through at a meeting hosted by the
city and the San Bruno Chamber of
Commerce 9 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 16 at
City Hall, 567 El Camino Real.
PFLAG founder Jeanne
Manford dies at 92
Jeanne Manford, a proud mother whose love
for a gay son prompted her to found an inter-
national organization for
parents and relatives of
gay men and lesbians, has
died at her home in Daly
City. She was 92.
Manfords daughter,
Suzanne Swan, announced
her mothers death on
Tuesday.
Manford became an out-
spoken gay rights advo-
cate in 1972 after her
activist son, Monty, was beaten by police dur-
ing a demonstration in New York City. She
went on to found a local support group there
for other parents the next year. In those days,
many of the groups members were struggling
to accept their childrens sexual orientations.
Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians
and Gays, or PFLAG for short, expanded
nationwide in 1980 and now has 350 chapters
around the world.
Pilot who struck Bay
Bridge had three prior accidents
SAN FRANCISCO The pilot of an
empty oil tanker that crashed into the San
Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge was involved
in three previous accidents, records obtained
Tuesday show.
Pilot Guy Kleess was held responsible for
two of the accidents and ordered to undergo
more training after a ship he was piloting dam-
aged a dock in Stockton in 2009, according to
records from the state Board of Pilot
Commissioners.
The disclosure came as two federal agencies
and the state board pursued investigations of
the crash of the 752-foot tanker Overseas
Reymar.
The U.S. Coast Guard classied the acci-
dent as a major marine casualty because it
exceeded $500,000 in property damage.
However, no oil leaks were reported and the
bridge remained open. No crew members
were injured.

WASHINGTON The Obama adminis-

tive of X number of troops in Afghanistan,
said Ben Rhodes, a White House deputy
national security adviser. We have an objec-
tive of making sure there is no safe haven for
al-Qaida in Afghanistan and making sure that
the Afghan government has a security force
that is sufcient to ensure the stability of the
Afghan government.
The U.S. now has 66,000 troops in
Afghanistan, down from a peak of about
100,000 as recently as 2010. The U.S. and its
NATO allies agreed in November 2010 that
they would withdraw all their combat troops
by the end of 2014, but they have yet to
decide what future missions will be necessary
and how many troops they would require.
At stake is the risk of Afghanistans col-
lapse and a return to the chaos of the 1990s
that enabled the Taliban to seize power and
provide a haven for Osama bin Ladens al-
Qaida network. Fewer than 100 al-Qaida
fighters are believed to remain in
Afghanistan, although a larger number are
just across the border in Pakistani sanctuaries.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said he
foresees a need for a U.S. counterterrorism
force in Afghanistan beyond 2014, plus a con-
tingent to train Afghan forces. He is believed
to favor an option that would keep about
9,000 troops in the country.
Administration ofcials in recent days have
said they are considering a range of options
for a residual U.S. troop presence of as few as
3,000 and as many as 15,000, with the num-
ber linked to a specic set of military-related
missions like hunting down terrorists.
Asked in a conference call with reporters
whether zero was now an option, Rhodes
said, That would be an option we would con-
sider.
His statement could be interpreted as part
of an administration negotiating strategy. On
Friday Afghan President Hamid Karzai is
scheduled to meet President Barack Obama at
the White House to discuss ways of framing
an enduring partnership beyond 2014.
The two are at odds on numerous issues,
including a U.S. demand that any American
troops who would remain in Afghanistan after
the combat mission ends be granted immuni-
ty from prosecution under Afghan law.
Officials: U.S. may leave
no troops in Afghanistan

SACRAMENTO Declaring that
Californias long-running prison crisis is
over, Gov. Jerry Brown on Tuesday chal-
lenged a federal court order by saying the
state has done all it can to safely relieve over-
crowding and improve medical and mental
health care for inmates.
Meeting further demands by the courts to
reduce the inmate population, he said, would
require ignoring state sentencing laws and
putting the public at risk by releasing violent
offenders. He urged the judges to end court
oversight of inmate medical and mental
health care, and vowed to press his fight to
the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary.
Theres no question that there were big
problems in California prisons, the
Democratic governor said at a Capitol news
conference, adding that after decades of
work, the job is now com-
plete.
Attorneys representing
inmates countered that
while conditions have
improved, inmates still
are needlessly dying of
neglect and mentally ill
inmates still go untreated.
It was those sorts of
dismal conditions that
prompted mentally ill inmates to sue the state
in 1991, eventually leading a panel of feder-
al judges to order the state to reduce the pop-
ulation of its 33 adult prisons by about
33,000 inmates, to a total of 110,000
inmates, by June. The courts 2009 order was
upheld by the nations high court in 2011.
The state wont meet that deadline despite
sending thousands of less-serious offenders
to local jails instead of state prisons under a
14-month-old state law designed to reduce
crowding and prison spending. The change
has reduced Californias inmate population
so much that Texas now has a larger prison
population, though Texas has about 12 mil-
lion fewer residents.
The law alone reduced the prison popula-
tion by nearly 25,000 inmates. In addition,
corrections officials say as many as 2,800
third-strike career criminals could be
released after voters required that the third
strike be a violent or serious felony.
Brown argued the state cant do more
without endangering public safety, and
shouldnt have to comply with an arbitrary
cap.
Browns administration said in court docu-
ments filed overnight Monday that it could
meet the courts current population cap only
if the federal court waives numerous state
laws and orders the outright early release of
inmates serving prison terms for serious and
violent felonies.

oversight of state prisons

U.S. seared during hottest year on record
By Tracie Cone
FRESNO Visitors might miss the 1920s-
era ice skating rink in the winter or the sum-
mer bike and raft rentals, but theyll likely be
glad to hear that a plan released Tuesday to
protect the river that runs through Yosemite
National Park wont reduce the number of
daily visitors.
For years, the possibility has existed that
access to the third-most visited national park
would be decreased under the court-ordered
effort to protect the Merced River, which
received congressional wild and scenic des-
ignation in 1987.
But park ofcials tried to balance the needs
of visitors against the activities and develop-
ment in Yosemite Valley that have contributed
to degradation of riverbanks and water quality.

WASHINGTON America set an off-the-
charts heat record in 2012.
A brutal combination of a widespread
drought and a mostly absent winter pushed the
average annual U.S. temperature last year up
to 55.32 degrees Fahrenheit, the government
announced Tuesday. Thats a full degree
warmer than the old record set in 1998.
Breaking temperature records by an entire
degree is unprecedented, scientists say.
Normally, records are broken by a tenth of a
degree or so.
It was off the chart, said Deke Arndt, head
of climate monitoring at the National Climatic
Data Center in Asheville, N.C., which calcu-
lated the temperature records.
Last year, he said, will go down as a huge
exclamation point at the end of a couple
decades of warming.
The data centers gures for the entire world
wont come out until next week, but through
the rst 11 months of 2012, the world was on
pace to have its eighth warmest year on
record.
Scientists say the U.S. heat is part global
warming in action and natural weather varia-
tions.
AIG board weighing
joining suit against U.S.
NEW YORK American International
Group Inc. said Tuesday its board of directors
will weigh whether to take part in a share-
holder lawsuit against the government over its
$182 billion bailout of the insurer.
If AIG decides to join the complaint, which
seeks $25 billion in damages, it would pit the
company against the government that rescued
it in 2008 from collapsing under the weight of
huge losses on mortgage-backed securities
and other toxic assets.
AIG said that its directors will meet
Wednesday and should have a decision by the
end of the month.
Republican favored

ing Novembers special primary but fell just
shy of a simple majority. He split votes with

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obamas choice of John Brennan to be the
next CIA director hit a snag Tuesday as a
Republican senator threatened to delay the
nomination until the Obama administration
provides answers on the deadly assault in
Libya that killed the U.S. ambassador and
three other Americans.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, whose opposition
helped scuttle U.N. Ambassador Susan Rices
hopes of becoming secretary of state, said the
Senate should not conrm any Obama nomi-
nee for the nations top spy post until the
administration elaborates on the attack on the
diplomatic mission in Benghazi.
My support for a delay in conrmation is
not directed at Mr. Brennan, but is an unfortu-
nate, yet necessary, action to get information
from this administration, the South Carolina
senator said in a statement. I have tried
repeatedly to get information on Benghazi,
but my requests have been repeatedly
ignored.
He added that the administrations
stonewalling on Benghazi must end.
Kevin Bishop, a spokesman for Graham,
said late Tuesday that its possible the senator
would put a hold on Brennans nomination,
but the lawmaker hopes he doesnt have to
take that step. In his statement, Graham sig-
naled that he would try to slow the nomina-
tion.
The White House dismissed the politiciza-
tion of the issue and pressed for the Senate to
act quickly and deliberate-
ly on Brennans nomina-
tion.
It would be unfortu-
nate, I think, if in pursuit
of this issue, which was
highly politicized, the
Senate would hold up the
nomination of John
Brennan to be director of
the Central Intelligence
Agency, White House spokesman Jay Carney
told reporters.
An independent review board released an
exhaustive report last month that found sys-
tematic failures and leadership and manage-
ment deciencies at senior levels of the State
Department that led to inadequate security at
the mission in Benghazi.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton
is likely to deliver her long-awaited testimony
on Libya before the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee the week of Jan. 21. The State
Department said the date hasnt been nal-
ized.
Illness and a concussion delayed her con-
gressional appearance in December, one of
her last acts as secretary of state. Obama has
nominated Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., to
replace Clinton after Rice withdrew her name
from consideration.
In the weeks after the Sept. 11, 2012, attack
that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens,
Republicans criticized the administration for
blaming spontaneous protests over an
American-made, anti-Muslim video. They
suggested the administration was trying to
play down an act of terrorism leading up to
the November election, even though Obama
used that description in the days after the raid.
Graham and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.,
directed much of their ire at Rice, who said in
a series of Sunday talk show interviews on
Sept. 16 that the attack may have been a
protest that got out of hand. Rices widely
debunked explanation was based on talking
points from the intelligence community.
Graham said he wants answers on who
changed Rices talking points and deleted ref-
erences to al-Qaida. He said lawmakers were
told that the director of national intelligence
deleted the references, then were told it was
the FBI. Hours after a meeting with Rice in
late November, Congress was informed that
the CIA had changed the talking points.

More than $5M paid
to Iraqis over Abu Ghraib
WASHINGTON A defense contractor
whose subsidiary was accused in a lawsuit of
conspiring to torture detainees at the infamous
Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq has paid $5.28 mil-
lion to 71 former inmates held there and at
other U.S.-run detention sites between 2003
and 2007.
The settlement in the case involving
Engility Holdings Inc. of Chantilly, Va., marks
the rst successful effort by lawyers for for-
mer prisoners at Abu Ghraib and other deten-
tion centers to collect money from a U.S.
defense contractor in lawsuits alleging torture.
Another contractor, CACI, is expected to go to
trial over similar allegations this summer.
The payments were disclosed in a document
that Engility led with the Securities and
Exchange Commission two months ago but
which has gone essentially unnoticed.
WASHINGTON Planners of President
Barack Obamas second inauguration are mak-
ing an unprecedented solicitation for high-dollar
contributions up to $1 million to help pay for the
celebration in exchange for special access.
The changes are part of a continuing erosion
of Obamas pledge to keep donors and special
interests at arms length of his presidency. He
has abandoned the policy from his rst inau-
guration to accept donations up to only
$50,000 from individuals, announcing last
month that he would take unlimited contribu-
tions from individuals and corporations.
A fundraising appeal obtained by the
Associated Press shows the Presidential
Inaugural Committee is going far beyond his
previous self-imposed limits or apparently
any fundraising in the modern history of
American presidential inaugurations by
offering donors four VIP packages named
after the countrys founding fathers.
Event organizers are hoping the packages
will pay for expensive events surrounding
Obamas inaugural on Jan. 21.

TUCSON, Ariz. Tuesday was
not just a day for Tucson to remem-
ber the victims of the deadly shoot-
ing that severely injured then- U.S.
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. It was also
a day when residents could see rst-
hand the nations gun debate play
out in a busy parking lot outside a
city police station.
On one side was a councilman
who supports gun control leading an
effort to give $50 grocery store gift
cards to anyone who turned in their
rearms to police. On the other was
an event organized by a state sena-
tor that turned into an open, unregu-
lated and legal marketplace for
rearms.
We have a fundamental hole in
the private sales of guns. You can
walk up right in front of a cop and
buy a gun, no background check,
nothing, said Councilman Steve
Kozachik. How much more awed
can the system be?
The people who bought guns
from each other declined repeated
requests for comments. The senator
and gun rights advocate didnt stay
at the event, but earlier said he was
angered by the timing of Kozachiks
event and that paying $50 for a gun
was such little money that it
amounted to theft.
The dueling gun buyback pro-
grams and the annual ringing of
bells to remember the six dead and
13 injured, including Giffords, dur-
ing the January 2011 attack came
as the congresswoman and her hus-
band announced that they were
forming a political action commit-
tee aimed at curbing gun violence.
Giffords and husband Mark Kelly,
a former astronaut, wrote in an op-
ed published in USA Today that
their Americans for Responsible
Solutions initiative would help raise
money to support greater gun con-
trol efforts and take on the powerful
gun lobby.
Achieving reforms to reduce gun
violence and prevent mass shoot-
ings will mean matching gun lobby-
ists in their reach and resources,
the couple wrote. They said that it
will raise funds necessary to bal-
ance the inuence of the gun lobby.
There was already some concern
among gun control advocates that
they were losing the momentum
they hoped to have after the
Newtown, Conn., elementary
school shooting that left 20 children
and six adults dead in December.
Congress was already occupied
with budget concerns.

Recall Supervisor Horsley?
Editor,
When Don Horsley ran for supervi-
sor in 2010, he promised his con-
stituents that if they voted for him, he
would not take a supervisors salary,
since he already were collecting a siz-
able pension from San Mateo County.
Now he has reversed that position on
two grounds:
1. His original pledge did not say
forever. However, it did clearly imply
that no salary would be taken while he
was a supervisor. The only way he can
remain consistent with this pledge
would be to keep his promise not to
take a salary for his current term and,
when and if he runs for re-election, tell
the voters he no longer plans to work
without salary for your next term.
2. His nancial circumstances have
changed, since his mother-in-law
requires assisted living/medical expens-
es. Im sure many of his constituents
are sympathetic to this problem, but as
he well knows, a huge number of them
have nancial problems well beyond
his own.
Although he can take back his prom-
ise, voters cannot take back their votes.
Therein lies the problem.
I would invite Horsley to reconsider
and withdraw his decision on reneging
on this promise within the next 30
days. Barring this reconsideration and
reversal, I will start a recall petition so
voters can take action based on his bro-
ken promise to them.

Plastic bags
Editor,
In response to two recent commen-
taries and several letters regarding pro-
posals to ban the use of plastic shop-
ping bags, I fail to grasp why it is eco-
logically superior for us to purchase
larger and heavier, 13-gallon plastic
kitchen bags than to use the retailers
thin, smaller but adequate bags for
trash. Or, better yet, why not supply
retailers with biodegradable plastic
bags like we use for composting?
Arthur Collom
Burlingame
Plastic bags
Editor,
Along with other city councils in San
Mateo County, Belmonts City Council
appears, lemming-like, to be hell-bent
on passing the rst part of an ordinance
to ban the use of so-called one-use
plastic bags. At this time, it would be
futile to review the arguments pro and
con in the hope that the council would
do otherwise. Such is a clear example
of a bad idea whose time has come.
A second part of the proposed ordi-
nance, however, offers the council
some chance to act reasonably. There is
no widely-agreed upon ecological justi-
cation to attempt to restrict the use of
paper bags in commerce. The only
apparent reason to levy a charge on
grocery store customers who choose to
use paper bags is, in effect, to imple-
ment a nanny-state mentality.
As a consequence, the Belmont City
Council, in my view, should not legis-
late to transfer the cost per paper bag
used in Belmonts two Safeway stores
and Lunardis from those prot-making
companies to the backs of Belmont
consumers. Maintain the status quo
free on-purchase paper bags.

Letters to the editor
P
olitical campaigns are full of
promises. Candidate after can-
didate has been known to say
they would do one thing, then turn out
to do another. President George H.W.
Bush once said, Read my lips, no new
taxes. And then circumstances changed
and he proposed new taxes.
In San Mateo County, Supervisor
Don Horsley said he would not take his
salary because he would already be
receiving a generous pension for his 35
years in law enforcement, his last 13 as
county sheriff. The pension package
totals around $200,000. Late last
month, however, Horsley said his fami-
ly situation changed, along with the
countys nancial situation, and that he
would indeed start taking his salary for
his current job as county supervisor.
That salary is approximately $115,000
a year with an additional $25,000 in
benets. Horsleys pension may be
high, but it is what was decided upon
previously. He earned it. And the super-
visor salary is also generous, but it is
what was decided upon previously.
Being a supervisor is challenging. It is
more than a full-time job and requires
keen attention on a variety of complex
issues. Supervisors earn their pay and
Horsley deserves it.
He stated his nancial obligations
recently increased signicantly with the
long-term medical care of his mother-
in-law. That is understandable. Many
know what it is like to care for a loved
one with medical needs. However,
deciding to take the pay is a bit tone-
deaf for several reasons. First, Horsley
said he wouldnt. Second, the average
government employee in San Mateo
County made $53,704 in 2011, accord-
ing to a recent report on public employ-
ee pay by the California Controllers
Ofce. Horsleys pension provides him
nearly four times the annual wage of an
average county government worker, and
to say that an extenuating nancial situ-
ation requires additional money proba-
bly doesnt make sense to that average
worker. Those are the workers that the
Board of Supervisors must ask to have
their compensation package reduced or
recongured if the county is to continue
keeping its costs in check.
The county recently beneted from a
voter-approved measure to increase its
sales tax by half a cent for 10 years to
bring in an estimated $60 million a
year. That may mean there is more wig-
gle room in the budget, but that doesnt
mean the county should suddenly sus-
pend its effort to keep its expenses
down. And one of the primary expenses
is the benet and retirement packages
for its workers particularly its high-
est earners.
By not taking his salary his rst two
years in ofce, Horsley did save the
county nearly $300,000 when the econ-
omy was ailing. We are by no means
out of the woods, but there are strong
indications the economy is on the
mend. Unemployment is relatively low
and housing is making a comeback.
And Horsley is well within his right
to take his pay and his pension. He
spent a long time in law enforcement to
earn the pension, the supervisor job is a
lot of work and, in life, situations
change. However, there is a reason why
Horsley made the commitment to
refuse the pay in the rst place
because some voters may not look
fondly on him collecting both his pen-
sion and a paycheck. That was political
calculus that has ramications for the
length of his tenure. Perhaps the lesson
here is that campaign commitments
should be more realistic, or followed.

U.S. stocks closed lower Tuesday as
traders awaited the start of the corpo-
rate earnings season.
The Dow Jones industrial average
dropped 55.44 points, or 0.4 percent, to
13,328.85. The Standard & Poors 500
index fell 4.74, or 0.3 percent, to
1,457.15. The Nasdaq composite index
shed 7.01, or 0.2 percent, to 3,091.81.
Alcoa reported its fourth-quarter
financial results after the market
closed, marking the unofficial kickoff
to weeks of earnings announcements
from U.S. companies. The aluminum
maker said its revenue results exceeded
the expectations of Wall Street ana-
lysts, while per-share earnings were
roughly in line with expectations.
Alcoa rose 20 cents, or 2.1 percent, to
$9.30 in late trading.
Alcoa is traditionally the first of the
30 companies in the Dow average to
report earnings.
Market-watchers expect the quarters
results could include many surprises
because of events like Superstorm
Sandy, the presidential election, and
the narrowly avoided tax increases and
spending cuts known collectively as
the fiscal cliff.
Earnings is going to be the big driv-
er for the next couple of weeks, and
were just sitting around waiting for it
to begin, said Kim Caughey Forrest,
vice president and senior analyst at
Fort Pitt Capital Group, an investment
management firm.
The European debt crisis continued
to cast a pall over the market.
Unemployment in the 17 countries that
use the euro hit a new high, leading the
European Union to warn about the risk
of fraying social welfare systems in
southern Europe.
Trading has been cautious in the
week since Congress and the White
House struck a deal to maintain lower
tax rates and postpone sweeping cuts in
government spending. Enthusiasm
about the compromise pushed the Dow
up 300 points last Wednesday, its
biggest gain since December 2011.

NEW YORK The Barry Diller-backed
Internet company that challenged cable and
satellite TV services by offering inexpensive
live television online plans to expand beyond
New York City this spring.
In the wake of a federal court ruling that
tentatively endorsed its legality, Aereo will
bring its $8-a-month service to Boston,
Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington and 18
other markets in the U.S., as well as to New
Yorks suburbs. For the past year, the service
had been limited to New York City residents
as the company ne-tuned its technology and
awaited guidance on whether its unlicensed
use of free, over-the-air broadcasts amounted
to a copyright violation.
A federal judge in New York ruled in July
that the service doesnt appear to violate copy-
right law because individual subscribers are
assigned their own, tiny antenna at Aereos
Brooklyn data center, making it analogous to
the free signal a consumer would get with a
regular antenna at home. Aereo spent the sub-
sequent months selecting markets for expan-
sion and renting space for new equipment in
those cities.

WASHINGTON Unemployment rates
fell below 7 percent in a majority of U.S. cities
in November, suggesting steady job gains are
beneting most parts of the country.
The Labor Department said Tuesday that
rates fell in November from October in 215 of
the 372 largest metro areas. Rates were
unchanged in 33 and rose in 124.
Rates dropped below 7 percent in 192 cities.
Thats the rst time since the recession ended
that more than half of large cities had rates
below that threshold. And 52 had rates below
5 percent.
Major metropolitan areas with low unem-
ployment rates in November included:
Oklahoma City, 4.5 percent; New Orleans, 4.7
percent; Washington, 5 percent; Boston, 5.6
percent; and Phoenix, 6.5 percent.
Nationwide, the unemployment rate ticked
down to 7.8 percent in November from 7.9
percent the previous month.

Insurance chief criticizes Anthem rate hike
SACRAMENTO California Insurance Commissioner
Dave Jones said Tuesday that Anthem Blue Cross proposed
rate hike for some of its small-group members is unreason-
able, but the insurer says the increase reects the rising cost
of health care.
Jones said that, unlike insurance regulators in many other
states, he has no authority to stop the rate increases, which
will take effect this month. Anthems increase will average
10.6 percent a year, and the two-year increase could be as
high as 19.4 percent for some customers, he said.
My authority is limited to reviewing the rates that are
led. The health insurers can set whatever rates they want
and they do exactly that, Jones said at a news conference.
AMR board to study merger option
DALLAS Directors of American Airlines parent com-
pany likely wont make a decision when they meet
Wednesday to consider a possible merger with US Airways,
even as momentum for a deal is building. Investors have been
bidding up US Airways stock price, and leaders of the two
pilot unions agree on how to combine contracts, two devel-
opments that analysts say strengthen the case for a tie-up.
Still there could be a way to go. American parent AMR
Corp., which led for bankruptcy protection in November
2011, and US Airways Group Inc. have been talking about a
potential merger since late summer but have not agreed on
price, each sides ownership share, and who would run the
company, according to people familiar with the situation.
Tax filing season starts Jan. 30 for most filers
WASHINGTON The Internal Revenue Service says
late changes to federal tax laws should mean only a short
delay for most taxpayers to le their 2012 returns.
The agency said Tuesday that more than 120 million tax-
payers about 80 percent of all lers should be able to
start ling their federal returns on Jan. 30. Others will have
to wait until late February or March to le because the
agency needs time to update and test its systems.

The Peninsula Athletic League basketball
season will be in full swing starting today as
the South Division boys and girls title race
begins.
The boys side appears to be wide open as at
least half of the 10-team division have a legit-
imate shot at winning the championship. For
the girls, it looks like Burlingame will be the
team to beat as the Panthers have experienced
a renaissance under a new coach.
The Carlmont boys made the biggest state-
ment in the preseason, going 11-1 and are cur-
rently riding a nine-game winning streak.
Aragon (9-3), Hillsdale (8-4) and Mills (7-5)
all have some quality non-league wins, while
Burlingame, despite struggling to a 5-7 mark,
has one of the best post players in the division
in Nick Loew and will factor in the race.
Woodside, under new coach Doug Fountain,
is at .500 with a 6-6 mark and have a shot with
sharpshooter Mitchell Hickman.
Menlo-Atherton may be only 4-8, but the
Bears have played a number of tough teams in
the preseason and should be battled tested for
league play. Capuchino started 3-1 but have
lost ve in a row and run a gauntlet to start
league play: Carlmont, Burlingame, M-A and
Hillsdale the rst two weeks. The Mustangs
could be in a big hole before the halfway point
of the season. Sequoia (5-10) has faced tough
competition in its losses, but their wins have
been rather convincing. San Mateo (2-8) has
struggled, but have been in a number of close
games, only to come up short.
On paper, everyone has to like Aragon and
I dont think you can ever count out
Burlingame and Mills, said Carlmont coach
Dave Low.
Carlmont is learning that holding opponents
to low point totals can make up for poor-
shooting games. The Scots have allowed only
one opponent to score over 50 points, while
they have eclipsed the 50-point mark seven

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Aragon-San Mateo matchup is always a
big deal, but often there are only bragging
rights on the line as the schools are usually in
different divisions of the Peninsula Athletic
League.
But there was more on the line Tuesday
when the Dons made the trip across town to
take on the host Bearcats in the PAL Bay
Division girls soccer opener. With both teams
in the Bay Division, points and division stand-
ings were on the line.
Despite Aragon controlling most of the
game, there was no movement in the stand-
ings as the two teams battled to a scoreless
draw.
We did everything but score, something
weve struggled with since preseason, said
Aragons rst-year coach Nick Dye. We won
every single battle (Tuesday). Im pleased
with the way we played.
Aragon (0-0-1 PAL Bay, 0-4-2 overall) con-
trolled nearly every aspect of the game
possession, the mideld and shots but
came up empty. The San Mateo defense had a
lot to do with that. While the Dons spent a lot
of time in the Bearcats end of the eld, the
Bearcats stood rm and did not allow the
Dons too many quality shots on goal.
They had more possession than we did, but
I think we defended pretty comfortably, said
San Mateos rst-year coach Carlos Bover.

After completing the non-conference por-
tion of its schedule with a 5-10 record, the
College of San Mateo womens basketball
team begins Coast Conference North play the
way it ended preseason injured.
Every member of the Bulldogs roster has
missed time this season with various health
problems from knees to elbows to ngers
to even a throat issue which has killed their
chances at building any continuity.
And they dont get a chance to recover with
Chabot looming today.
Thats pretty much how its been this sea-
son ready or not, here it comes, said CSM
coach Michelle Warner. Thank goodness we
have some redshirts so we can practice (effec-
tively).
Injuries have been the story of our season.
The poor health of the Bulldogs certainly
does not bode well for a Coast Conference
that features some of the top teams in
Northern California. Chabot is ranked 11th,
while perennial powers Foothill and City
College of San Francisco are No. 3 and No. 8,
respectively.
CSM, on the other hand, is ranked 33rd.
Our conference is always good, Warner
said. Chabot (9-7) is doing better. Foothill
(13-5) is always up there. [San Francisco] (9-
7) is very athletic.
Because depth has been an issue Warner
said shes been playing with seven or eight
players for most of the season she has had
to change her style of play. Out is the run-and-
gun offense she is used to playing and in is a
ball-control, slowed-down attack.
Im running about 30 to 40 percent of what
I usually do, Warner said.
As a result, Warner has had to move players
out of comfortable positions and have them
learn how to play other spots on the oor.
For [the players], it should be increasing
their basketball IQ. Its an opportunity for
them, Warner said.
The players understand the need to be
moved around, but they dont necessarily like
it.
Playing a different position sucks, said
sophomore guard Jenna David. Its hard
adjusting.

SANTA CLARA From the way Vernon
Davis struts and smiles around the San
Francisco 49ers locker room, it might be hard
to tell the tight end has endured a stressful
season.
Not once has he complained or pouted
about his limited touches. Davis even laughs
about how he might have reacted in his
younger days if the ball so
rarely came his way.
Coaches wouldnt like
me, he said, chuckling.
A year ago this week,
Davis had the defining
moment of his career in a
thrilling 36-32 playoff win
over New Orleans. He
made a leaping 14-yard
touchdown catch while
getting smashed by safety Roman Harper, a
play Davis dubbed The Grab, which sent
the tight end running to the sideline in tears
and the 49ers to the NFC championship game.
A year later, Davis enters San Franciscos
NFC divisional playoff against the Green Bay
Packers on Saturday night as somewhat of a
mystery. Hes perhaps the most proven and
prolic threat for the 49ers, as he showed in
both games last January, though his role has
diminished in the last six weeks.
Davis nished with 41 receptions for 548
yards and ve touchdowns this season. All
three are his lowest since he caught 31 passes
for 358 yards and two TDs in 2008.
It is a different feeling for me because its
been a tough season as far as just the feeling
of being involved, said Davis, now 28 years
old. To me, its not a bad thing, because its
something I had to get used to this year. Each

KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. The rst
seminal games in the new college
football playoff system will be played
in the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl
on Jan. 1, 2015.
The BCS conference commission-
ers announced the dates and rotation
for all 12 years of the upcoming post-
season format after a meeting in Key
Biscayne on Monday, the day after
the BCS championship game in
Miami.
It was not a one-year decision, it
had to be a 12-year decision, BCS
executive director Bill Hancock said.
Calendar issues, days of rest. Sugar
and Rose were paired together
because of the days of rest since they
are playing the same day.
Whether they are hosting a semi-
nal or just a marquee bowl game, the
Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl will
always be played on Jan. 1, or Jan. 2
in years in which New Years Day
falls on a Sunday. In the eight years in
which the Rose and Sugar do not host
the seminals, the four playoff teams
will kick off on New Years Eve or
Saturday, Dec. 30.
Either way there will be a triple-
header of major college football
games, two seminals and four other
marquee bowl games, on New Years
Eve and New Years Day starting from
the 2014 season to the 2025 season.
Those days will belong to college
football, Hancock said.
The Rose Bowl will also be the site
of the last BCS championship game
on Jan. 1, 2014.
The site of the rst championship
game in the new system is still to be
picked, though Cowboys Stadium in
Arlington, Texas, seems to be the
front-runner. The title games will
always be played on Mondays, at least
seven days after the seminals. The
rst one will be played Jan. 12, 2015.
The earliest the championship
game will be played is Monday, Jan.
7, 2019. The latest the championship
game will be played is Jan. 13, and
that will happen twice, in 2020 and
2025.
In the second year of the playoff,
the Orange Bowl will host a seminal
on Dec. 31, 2015, along with one of
three other sites still to be deter-
mined.
The preference is to have three
more sites in three times zones, and
they are expected to be Atlanta
(Chick-l-A Bowl), Arlington, Texas
(Cotton Bowl) and Glendale, Ariz.
(Fiesta).
Hancock said the commissioners
are on track to have those sites locked
in by the end of their late April meet-
ings in Pasadena. The site for the rst
championship game is expected to be
chosen sooner.
This was really a basic meeting,
Hancock said. The balls that are still
in the air are the (selection) commit-
tee, protocol and structure, what
were going to call it.
It was a year ago in New Orleans
that the commissioners had what was
the rst meeting that led to the end of
the BCS as we know it and the imple-
mentation of the four-team playoff.
When we met this date last year in
New Orleans we all knew that we
were going to embark on a very sig-
nicant review and potential restruc-
turing, Southeastern Conference
Commissioner Mike Slive said.
With the calendar set, the sites
coming into focus, the next big issue
left is the selection committee.
I think April will be the action
month in a lot of respects, Big Ten
Commissioner Jim Delany said.
The concept the commissioners are
working with is about 18 people,
mostly current college sports admin-
istrators, such as conference commis-
sioners and athletic directors. Every
conference and independent in major
college football would be represent-
ed.
Delany said he hopes that by
requiring the committee to emphasize
strength of schedule it will force pro-
grams to rethink some of those cup-
cake games that inate records. And
that a couple of losses against good
teams wont necessarily eliminate a
team from playing in the four-team
playoff
It certainly has evolved in mens
basketball, he said. Everybody who
is 20-10 doesnt get to the tourna-
ment. I think the new committee is
sort of important to reinforce that.
What they do in the rst two, three,
four years is going to really deter-
mine the messages that are being
sent. The basketball committee has
consistently sent the message that
who you play and who you beat is
more important than the record.
Rose, Sugar will host 1st semifinals in BCS playoff
By Nicholas K. Geranios
SPOKANE, Wash. A Pac-12
investigation found no evidence of
physical or mental abuse of players in
the Washington State football program
under coach Mike Leach, the league
said Tuesday
The ndings of the independent
review mirrored the ndings of
Washington States own internal
review of the allegations, which was
released last month.
Former Washington State receiver
Marquess Wilson contended near the
end of last football season that players
were suffering physical and mental
abuse at the hands of coaches. Wilson,
who quit the team, subsequently
recanted his allegations.
But university President Elson Floyd
asked the school and the Pac-12 to
investigate the charges anyway.
I am pleased with the outcome of
both reviews, Floyd said in a press
release Tuesday. The well-being of all
WSU students is our highest priority
and it was important to take seriously
allegations against the program.
The Pac-12 report was compiled
after 20 interviews with coaches, play-
ers, parents of players and athletic
department staff members.
Wilson, the leading receiver in
Washington State history, contended in
a letter sent to journalists on Nov. 10
that he quit the team prior to the UCLA
game as a protest to physical, emo-
tional and verbal abuse by the coach-
ing staff. He complained that coaches
would belittle, intimidate and humili-
ate us. He did not provide details.
The same night he sent the letter,
Wilson sent a text message to athletic
director Bill Moos in which he recant-
ed those allegations.
Leach also has denied the allegations
of abuse.
The Pac-12 investigation was con-
ducted by the law rm of Bond
Schoeneck & King of Overland Park,
Kan. Investigators interviewed Wilson,
who told them there was no physical
abuse.
I wasnt trying to accuse anybody
of abuse, the report quoted Wilson as
saying. I mean, they never touched
us.
Wilson said he was just trying to
explain why he quit the team.
I denitely could have used a dif-
ferent word, Wilson said. I couldnt
think of anything or another word at
the time I was writing it.
Leach told investigators that Wilson
never worked hard and was criti-
cized by coaches for that.
Moos, the athletic director, said the
release of the Pac-12 report should
bring an end to the issue.
My support for Mike Leach and his
methods and his plan have never
wavered, Moos told reporters. Im
even more enthused about the path we
are on.
Leach was red from Texas Tech
after the 2009 season after claims that
he mistreated a player suffering from a
concussion. Leach disputed the allega-
tion and it was not proven. Leach has
sued Texas Tech, contending he was
red so the school could avoid a large
payment that was due to him at the end
of that year.

NEW YORK Theres a chance
the podium under the chandeliers in
the gold-and-ivory-colored Vanderbilt
Room of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel
will go unused.
With the cloud of steroids shroud-
ing the candidacies of Barry Bonds,
Roger Clemens and others, baseball
writers may fail for the only the sec-
ond time in more than four decades to
elect anyone to the Hall of Fame, ren-
dering a news conference unneces-
sary.
About 600 people are eligible to
vote in the BBWAA election, all
members of the organization for 10
consecutive years at any point.
Results will be announced at 2 p.m.
EST Wednesday, with the focus on
rst-time eligibles that include Bonds,
baseballs only seven-time Most
Valuable Player, and Clemens, the
only seven-time Cy Young Award
winner.
Since 1965, the only years the writ-
ers did not elect a candidate were
when Yogi Berra topped the 1971 bal-
lot at 67 percent and when Phil
Niekro headed the 1996 ballot at 68
percent. Both were chosen the follow-
ing years.
It really would be a shame, espe-
cially since the other people going in
this year are not among the living,
which will make for a rather strange
ceremony, said
the San
F r a n c i s c o
C h r o n i c l e s
Susan Slusser,
president of the
Baseball Writers
Association of
America.
T h r e e
inductees were
chosen last month by the 16-member
panel considering individuals from
the era before integration in 1946:
Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert,
umpire Hank ODay and barehanded
catcher Deacon White. They will be
enshrined during a ceremony at
Cooperstown on July 28.
Also on the ballot for the rst time
are Sammy Sosa and Mike Piazza,
power hitters whose statistics have
been questioned because of the
Steroids Era, and Craig Biggio, 20th
on the career list with 3,060 hits all
for the Houston Astros. Curt
Schilling, 11-2 with a 2.23 ERA in
postseason play, is another ballot
rookie.
The Hall is prepared to hold a news
conference Thursday with any
electees. Or to not have one.
Biggio wasnt sure whether the
controversy over this years ballot
would keep all candidates out.
All I know is that for this organiza-
tion I did everything they ever asked
me to do and Im proud about it, so
hopefully, the
writers feel
strongly, they
liked what they
saw, and well
see what hap-
pens, Biggio
said on Nov. 28,
the day the ballot
was announced.
Jane Forbes
Clark, the Halls chairman, said last
year she was not troubled by voters
weighing how to evaluate players in
the era of performance-enhancing
drugs.
I think the museum is very com-
fortable with the decisions that the
baseball writers make, she said. And
so its not a bad debate by any means.
Bonds has denied knowingly using
performance-enhancing drugs and
was convicted of one count of
obstruction of justice for giving an
evasive answer in 2003 to a grand
jury investigating PEDs. Clemens
was acquitted of perjury charges
stemming from congressional testi-
mony during which he denied using
PEDs.
Sosa, who nished with 609 home
runs, was among those who tested
positive in MLBs 2003 anonymous
survey, The New York Times reported
in 2009. He told a congressional
committee in 2005 that he never took
illegal performance-enhancing drugs.
The BBWAA election rules say
voting shall be
based upon the
players record,
playing ability,
integrity, sports-
manship, charac-
ter, and contribu-
tions to the
team(s) on which
the player
played.
Steroid or HGH use is cheating,
plain and simple, ESPN.coms
Wallace Matthews wrote. And by
denition, cheaters lack integrity,
sportsmanship and character. Strike
one, strike two, strike three.
Several holdovers from last year
remain on the 37-player ballot, with
top candidates including Jack Morris
(67 percent), Jeff Bagwell (56 per-
cent), Lee Smith (51 percent) and
Tim Raines (49 percent).
When The Associated Press sur-
veyed 112 eligible voters in late
November, Bonds received 45 per-
cent support among voters who
expressed an opinion, Clemens 43
percent and Sosa 18 percent. The
Baseball Think Factory website com-
piled votes by writers who made their
opinions public and with 142 ballots
had everyone falling short. Biggio
was at 69 percent, followed by Morris
(63), Raines (62), Bagwell (61),
Piazza (59), Clemens (43) and Bonds
(43).
Morris nished second last year
when Barry Larkin was elected and is
in his 14th and next-to-last year of
eligibility. He could become the play-
er with the highest-percentage of the
vote who is not in the Hall, a mark
currently held by Gil Hodges at 63
percent in 1983.
Several players who fell just short
in the BBWAA balloting later were
elected by either the Veterans
Committee or Old-Timers
Committee: Nellie Fox (74.7 percent
on the 1985 BBWAA ballot), Jim
Bunning (74.2 percent in 1988),
Orlando Cepeda (73.6 percent in
1994) and Frank Chance (72.5 per-
cent in 1945).
Ace of three World Series winners,
Morris nished with 254 victories
and was the winningest pitcher of the
1980s. His 3.90 ERA, however, is
higher than that of any Hall of Famer.
Morris will be joined on next years
ballot by Greg Maddux and Tom
Glavine, both 300-game winners.
If no one is elected this year, there
could be a logjam in 2014. Voters
may select up to 10 players.
The only certainty is the Hall is
pleased with the writers process.
While the BBWAA does the actu-
al voting, it only does so at the
request of the Hall of Fame, said the
Los Angeles Times Bill Shaikin, the
organizations past president. If the
Hall of Fame is troubled, certainly the
Hall could make alternate arrange-
ments.

and every season in the past, Im used to help-
ing the team in ways where Im just catching
balls and things like that. This years been a
little bit different. It just feels different going
into these playoffs, as far as my role and
things like that. Its not a bad thing, Im not
mad at it. Thats just how it is sometimes. It
takes a little getting used to.
Davis has tried to stay focused, not frustrat-
ed, and hes happy so long as San Francisco
(11-4-1) keeps on winning. Anytime he begins
to think otherwise, Davis said, he thinks back
to that nal catch against the Saints as the
shining example of how he might be called
upon at any moment.
Hard to believe considering how his season
started out, catching four touchdown passes
from Alex Smith in the rst three games. He
didnt score again until Colin Kaepernicks
rst start in Week 11, when he hauled in six
receptions for 83 yards and a TD in a Monday
night victory over the Chicago Bears that had
Davis so giddy he said it felt like someone
took the handcuffs off me.
In the six games since, the chemistry
between Kaepernick and Davis has evaporat-
ed.
Davis has six catches and no touchdowns
during the span and he left early in a Week 16
loss against Seattle because of a concussion
that also limited him in the regular-season
nale against Arizona. Even some of the most
faithful and famous 49ers have questioned
why coach Jim Harbaugh and Kaepernick
cant get Davis the ball more.
Hes just not human on the football eld
and I dont understand why hes not being
more involved, Hall of Fame wide receiver
Jerry Rice said on KGMZ-FM radio in the
Bay Area last Friday. You would think they
would design more plays for Vernon Davis.
But I think theyve got to get him more
involved if they want to get to the Super Bowl
in New Orleans.
Harbaugh has repeatedly said Davis remains
an integral part of the game plan each week,
touting the tight ends pass protection and
blocking downeld. He insists Davis draws
double coverages on almost every play, free-
ing up others to make plays.
Theyre wary of getting beat by Vernon
Davis, Harbaugh said. I think thats the
biggest, greatest share.
Davis teammates have been the biggest
beneciaries.
Michael Crabtree had a career-best 1,105
yards receiving, including a single-game high
172 yards on eight receptions in the win over
Arizona.

times. Yash Malik has been the constant for the
Scots offensively and, if he can get some consis-
tent help, the Scots will hard to handle. Michael
Costello could be that guy and he had a big
game in their nal preseason tune-up. George
Abinader gives them a presence in the post,
while Mduduzi Hlatshawyo runs the point
smoothly.
[Malik] and Costello have been very, very
consistent (this season), Low said. Before the
season started, I was cautiously optimistic. Its
nice to have kids coming back with experience
but it was still wait and see. Our kids still have to
get out and prove to themselves they are better
than last year.
Aragon is on the opposite end of the spectrum.
The Dons like to run and gun and have averaged
60 points a game. The Dons might be the most
complete team in the division with a nearly per-
fect balance of frontcourt and backcourt play.
Wing player Nick Frankel leads the offense with
15 points a game and point guard Alex Manu is
the perfect complement, capable of knocking
down long-range shots as well as getting to the
basket off dribble penetration. Post players
David Manoa and Sam Halaua can both score,
rebound and defend. Halaua is among the best
shot blockers in the league.
Burlingames preseason record does not indi-
cate how rugged a preseason the Panthers
played. They were 1-4 against West Catholic
Athletic League teams and they were routed by
Aragon in the Lion Club Tournament nals.
But the outside-inside tandem of shooting
guard Connor Haupt and center Loew can match
up with any other in the league. When Haupt
gets hot, he can rain in 3-pointers, while Loew
has some of the best post moves of any big man
and his length can cause any team problems.
Hillsdale isnt very big, but what they lack in
height they make up for with hustle, toughness
and strong perimeter shooting. Guard Angelo
Bautista is one of the best shooters in the divi-
sion and can carry the Knights if need be. Stevie
Haegawa and Michael Otonari, 5-3 and 5-4
respectively, play much bigger. Both can knock
down the long-distance shot and are not afraid to
put their heads down and drive to the basket.
Unlike the boys side, the PAL South girls
champion will probably have to go through
Burlingame. In his rst season with the program,
coach Bill Lepeltak has made basketball fun
again and the Panthers have responded with an
11-1 preseason mark, with their lone loss com-
ing to East Bay power Campolindo.
Thats up to other teams if they want to put
the target on our backs. We just want to play,
Lepeltak said. Were cautiously optimistic.
The Panthers guard tandem of Dana Michaels
and Lauren Rally have been virtually unstop-
pable this season, averaging 19 and 16 points per
game, respectively. Michaels has been on re
from behind the 3-point arc, draining 54 treys so
far this season, including nine in a 35-point
effort in a win over Paradise.
In girls basketball, shooting is always the
wild card, Lepeltak said. We want to be able to
not shoot the ball well and still win ball games.
Woodside, under former Mills standout Haley
Grossman, have been the early-season success
story, compiling a 7-3 preseason mark.
Woodside [has] really improved a lot,
Lepeltak said.
The most surprising team, however, has been
Aragon. Normally a title contender, the Dons
look like there could be some growing pains this
season as theyve won only one game so far.
Mills (5-4), another perennial contender, has
been up and down this season, as has San Mateo
a PAL tournament nalist last season and
Menlo-Atherton, which both sport 3-8 records.
Sequoia (7-5) could sneak up on everybody
with its unorthodox style. Point guard Alaina
Woo triggers the Cherokees slow-down, walk-it
offense, but they will need to consistently shoot
well from the perimeter to nd success.
Capuchino (5-7) may have a losing record, but
the Mustangs have been competitive in most of
those losses and will not be an easy out in league
play.
Carlmont, at 6-6, is always solid, while
Hillsdale (2-9) has some pieces to compete.
I think [the PAL South] is going to be real
competitive, Lepeltak said. Everybody seems
to be better.

NEW YORK NHL owners will
vote Wednesday on the tentative
labor agreement reached with the
players union.
If a majority approves, as expect-
ed, the NHL will move one step
closer toward the ofcial end of the
long lockout that began Sept. 16.
As of Tuesday afternoon, a mem-
orandum of understanding of the
deal hadnt been completed, so the
union has yet to schedule a vote for
its more than 700 members. A
majority of players also must
approve the deal for hockey to
return to the ice.
We continue to document the
agreement, NHL deputy commis-
sioner Bill Daly told The Associated
Press in an email Tuesday.
If there are no snags, ratication
could be nished by Saturday and
training camps can open Sunday if
approval is reached on both sides. A
48-game regular season would then
be expected to begin on Jan. 19.

SPORTS
Aragon nished with 15 shots, 10 of which
were on goal, compared to just ve for San
Mateo. But Bearcats goalkeeper Kitty Qu
made all the saves (nine) and came off her line
confidently to sweep away any danger.
Aragon goalkeeper Ashley Lenz was not near-
ly as busy, nishing with four saves, but she
made the two biggest saves of the game in the
second half. The rst came just minutes into
the second half, as she parried away an Allysa
Collins shot from 20 yards out.
Then, in the dying moments of the game
and with San Mateos Hayley Walker break-
ing in on her, Lenz came charging off her goal
line and made a kick save to preserve the tie.
Walker was dangerous for most of the sec-
ond half and it took strong defending from the
Dons to keep her at bay.
She has a lot of potential. She broke
through several times, Bover said. They
worked hard to defend her.
The offense struggled early on for San
Mateo (0-0-1, 1-2-3) until Brenda Flores
checked into the game about 15 minutes into
the rst half. Her appearance seemed to jump-
start the Bearcats offense as she made several
dangerous runs at the Aragon goal.
Shes very dynamic and strong, Bover
said. But shes coming off being sick. Thats
why she didnt start.
Aragon had its chances as well that the
Dons couldnt convert. Addy Eveslage had a
quality look in the rst minute of the game,
but her shot from the top of the box sailed
high. In the second half, the Dons threw
everything they had at the San Mateo goal,
coming up with a half dozen corner kicks and
six shots on goal.
We want to be an attack team. We want to
win games, Dye said. Its about taking a
gamble.
Kiana Saniee had several good looks at the
goal, but all her shots were right at Qu.
She had her chances and shes one who
will normally slot those away, Dye said.
Aragons best chance at scoring came 10
minutes into the second half. Alexa Smith
nudged a San Mateo defender off the ball
inside the Bearcats penalty box, turned and
broke toward goal. Qu came off her line to cut
down the angle and Smith poked the ball
around Qu and it started rolling toward the
empty net only to bounce off the far right
post.
It was a great battle between two even
teams, Bover said. I think a draw is fair.
SOCCER
The 5-4 David has had to play not only her
normal off guard position, but also point
guard and some small forward. Backcourt
mate Teanna Price, at 5-5, has played off
guard, small forward and power forward at
times this season.
Unlike David, however, Price enjoys mixing
it up down low.
Ive learned to just step up to my role and
work with what Ive been handed, Price said.
I like the contact. I just feel Im more free
to be aggressive.
CSM should get some help with the return
of freshman point guard Amanda Lee out of
Mills, who has missed the last few games, but
the Bulldogs frontcourt continues to be a mess
with two players out for the season and two
others still a couple weeks away from getting
back on the court.
Freshman forward Kate Larson out of Notre
Dame-Belmont could denitely use the help.
Warner said Larson is close to averaging a
double-double in points and rebounds despite
being the teams only available and rela-
tively healthy post player.
[Larson] has been doing very well,
Warner said. She can score. She has denite-
ly adapted (to the revolving roster). She can
play inside and out.
Former CSM AD to
head coaches association
Gary Dilley, who served as Division Dean
of Physical Education/Athletics/Dance at
CSM from 1988 until his retirement in 2006,
was selected as the new executive director for
the California Community College Football
Coaches Association. He will represent all
California JC football coaches at the state
level.
Despite having never been considered a
football coach, he was selected for the posi-
tion because of his administrative work and
having been a representative for other sports,
including cross country.
I have not been a college football coach. I
didnt play football, Dilley said. They (the
selection committee) said they were not con-
cerned with that. What they were concerned
with is my work at the administrative level.
Not that Dilley does not have a connection
with football. He served as president of the
Northern California Football Association for
three years and was intimately involved with
the football CSM program for nearly two
decades.
When I was working for football coaches
(with the NCFA), I got to meet all the coach-
es in Northern California and theyre really
good guys, Dilley said. I really like football
coaches. theyre really committed to the
kids.
Dilley is equally committed to community
college student-athletes. A former CSM stu-
dent-athlete himself, he understands the ins
and outs of what it takes to excel at the com-
munity college level.
There are all kinds of reasons to be
involved in [community college athletics],
Dilley said. Just because you retire from your
regular job doesnt mean you want to be
involved with community college athletics.
My job is to represent the football coaches
association, but my heart is to represent all of
community college athletics.

WASHINGTON Robert Grifn III is hav-
ing surgery Wednesday on a torn ligament in his
right knee and to see if theres a second lig-
ament that also needs to be repaired.
Baylor coach Art Briles conrmed to USA
Today and the Associated Press on Tuesday
night that the Washington Redskins rookie has
a torn lateral collateral ligament. He said the
surgery also will determine whether Grifn has
damaged the ACL in that knee.
A person close to Grifn, speaking on condi-
tion of anonymity because the Redskins have
not made an announcement, also conrmed the
details surrounding Grifns injury to the AP.
A torn LCL requires a rehabilitation period of
several months, possibly extending into training
camp and the start of next season. A torn ACL
is a more severe injury, typically requiring nine
to 12 months of recovery, although Minnesota
Vikings running back Adrian Peterson make a
remarkable return this season some eight
months after tearing an ACL and nearly
broke the NFLs single-season rushing record.
Grifn tore his ACL in the same knee while
playing for Baylor in the third game of the 2009
season and missed the rest of the year. He was
injured on the opening drive against
Northwestern State but kept playing until half-
time.
Grifn came back to win the Heisman
Trophy two years later, and Briles predicted a
similar recovery this time.
RG3 will be good as new, though. I know
that! Briles said in a text message to the AP.
Grifn sprained the LCL last month against
the Baltimore Ravens and missed one game. He
returned wearing a bulky black brace for subse-
quent games and reinjured the knee at least
twice in Sundays playoff loss to the Seattle
Seahawks, prompting a national debate over
whether coach Mike Shanahan endangered his
franchise players career by not taking him out
sooner.
The Redskins said an MRI taken after the
game was inconclusive, so Grifn ew to
Florida on Tuesday for a more detailed exami-
nation conducted by orthopedist James
Andrews. Andrews will perform the surgery
Wednesday.
Grifn, the No. 2 overall pick, was one of
several rookie quarterbacks to make an instant
impact on the league this season. He set the
NFL record for best season passer rating by a
rookie QB and led the Redskins to their rst
NFC East title in 13 years.
But Grifn also had to leave three games
early due to injuries two because of his knee
and one because of a concussion and missed
a fourth altogether because of the knee.
Shanahan repeatedly said Grifn had clearance
from doctors to return to play, but the coach also
said he trusted Grifns own word when decid-
ing that the rookie should continue during
Sundays game even though Grifn was
clearly struggling after reinjuring the knee in
the rst quarter.
Grifn remained in the game until the fourth
quarter, when he hurt the knee again while
elding a bad shotgun snap.

I
m always searching for ways to make a
healthier version of risotto, one of my
favorite winter Italian dishes.
Risotto traditionally is made with starchy
white rice. That starch is essential to produc-
ing a creamy, thick risot-
to. But I wanted a
whole-grain version.
Trouble is, brown rice
doesnt release nearly as
much starch during
cooking, so substituting
it often produces risotto
that is thin and uninspir-
ing.
It took me a few
attempts, but I eventual-
ly gured out how to
have my whole grains
and my thick and creamy risotto. And it was
simple. I just needed to add starch.
Once I had that down, then I needed to add
avor. For this recipe, I came up with two
variations, one with Brussels sprouts and
apple, another with asparagus and tomatoes.
Both are incredibly delicious.

Chefs offering their
take on Jerusalem
By Danica Kirka
LONDON Two London-based chefs
with roots in Jerusalem one day. The next,
poster boys for peace.
Such has been the reaction to Jerusalem, a
bestselling cookbook by Yotam Ottolenghi, an
Israeli, and Sami Tamimi, a Palestinian, built
on their memories of a shared city and its deli-
cious food.
Regardless of all the trouble, food is
always there, Tamimi said.
The men run gourmet delis and restaurants
in London and have written an earlier cook-
book together. They were known not for poli-
tics, but for saving some chic London neigh-
borhoods from culinary boredom with
Mediterranean-based recipes infused with
fresh, exotic avors.

That changed with the publication of
Jerusalem, as observers took note of their
unusual partnership.
An Anglican minister used the chefs as an
example of interfaith dialogue in a commentary
on the BBCs inuential Today program. The
New Yorker piled on with a prole titled The
Philosopher Chef. Britains Daily Telegraph
featured the partners on its news pages no
recipes attached.
Suddenly it wasnt just about how much garlic
goes into hummus. It was about them.
Weve been very successful at attracting
(attention), Ottolenghi said. We didnt go out
there declaring a political stance. All we did is
say, this is the food that we like. The book con-
tains a mixture of Palestinian and Jewish food,
and the authors occasionally discuss what both-
ers them about their hometown, with its largely
Jewish west and predominantly Arab east.
We would both like to see the city divided
more equally between its peoples so its not a
one-sided story as it is at the moment,
Ottolenghi said. And its controversial. People
can be offended or upset. But I dont think they
are, and I dont think (they) should be.

Add the Brussels sprouts and apple OR the
asparagus and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for
about 5 minutes, then add the wine and stir
vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes to deglaze the
pan. Add the rice and any liquid in the pan.
Add the chicken broth and stir well. Bring to a
simmer and cook, stirring frequently to pre-
vent sticking, until the liquid has thickened
and reduced, about 10 minutes. Stir in the
cornstarch mixture, then cook for another

elegant.
It was little surprise then that Tissier pre-
sented Jacobs Gibson with an engraved jew-
elry box as a parting gift before the former
District Four supervisor gathered up her
things, handed over the office keys to suc-
cessor Warren Slocum and headed out of
board chambers.
This is it for me, she said. I leave know-
ing Ive done all that I could do.
What Jacobs Gibson did do in her capaci-
ty as supervisor was tremendous, according
to those who heaped on accolades at
Tuesdays meeting. Many said her legacy to
San Mateo County, however, began prior to
being appointed in 1999 while still an East
Palo Alto councilwoman.
Horsley recalled working with her as he
ran for sheriff when East Palo Alto was
plagued with murders. Fast forward decades,
and the city is a completely different place
and Horsley is now on the Board of
Supervisors, he said.
The two sat next to each other his first year
which proved helpful, he recalled.
You nudged me a number of times to tell
me what to do and when to shut up, he said.
Joking aside, the supervisors lauded
Jacobs Gibson for co-founding the countys
affordable housing trust fund which has
invested $8 million to date, held the first
summits on youth gun violence, health
inequities and womens criminal justice and
went after exorbitant payday loan fees. In
recent years, Jacobs Gibson held a job fair
for the formerly incarcerated and played a
large role in the countys re-entry programs
and new jail planning.
Rose always went to bat for the under-
dog, Tissier said.
Gibson has a gift for bringing people
together and, while never afraid to make a
tough decision, always did it with politeness
and consideration, Supervisor Carole Groom
said.
No one ever leaves mad, Groom said.
Jacobs Gibson wiped away tears through
several of the speakers which also included
department heads, like Health System Chief
Jean Fraser, and former supervisor Mark
Church who is now the chief elections offi-
cer and assessor-county clerk-recorder.
Church said that even when the two dis-
agreed on the board, she always did so with
a smile.
Outside of her politics, Jacobs Gibson was
also celebrated as a woman of color who
serves as a role model, by Beverly Beasley
Johnson, director of the Human Services
Agency. Environmental advocate Lennie
Roberts said Jacobs Gibson also gave care
not only to the human side of the county but
also the landscape in which residents live.
Jacobs Gibson, who successfully battled
breast cancer in her last year of office, said
the wishes and flowers she received are
indicative of San Mateo Countys spirit and
that despite the challenging months she has
never felt any more loved and appreciated.
Ive had a wonderful, wonderful, wonder-
ful, wonderful 14 years, she said.
But Jacobs Gibson couldnt leave without
imparting some last bits of advice, namely
that supervisors work the next two years
before the next board election to demon-
strate that each serves the entire county
rather than just his or her district. With vot-
ers in November approving a switch to dis-
trict elections, Jacobs Gibson said the coun-
ty is at risk of a changing culture and
dynamic in which candidates may run only
to represent their tiny slice rather than the
entire area.
This is very, very important to me as I
leave, she said. The governance starts at
the top.
Jacobs Gibsons departure wasnt the only
board change yesterday. Later that night in
Pacifica, Horsley was sworn in as the
boards new president.
Slocum, who replaced Jacobs Gibson, was
sworn into office Monday night.

ROSE
on the home, Kimberly Klaiber told the Daily
Journal yesterday.
Work on the home began more than 10 years
ago after the city issued building permits for in
2001 to construct a rst-oor reduction and a
second-oor addition on the home but the
citys building inspector determined the work
should have taken no more than two years to
complete, according to the claim led by the
city against the family in state Superior Court.
Mark Klaiber, however, broke his back in
2003 and caused work on the home to slow,
his wife said.
Her husband has also been out of work for
two years and she just lost her job of 25 years
after the San Mateo Convalescent Hospital on
San Mateo Drive just went out of business.
The family received its first abatement
notice for code problems way back in 1995 for
the Lindbergh property, according to the com-
plaint.
The family was asked to give the city a
detailed timeline in 2006 for when the project
would be complete and threatened to le a
lawsuit against the family to have it comply
with the citys municipal code. The family
said at the time the work would be completed
in 190 days but never was.
Were almost done. I know it looks horri-
ble, Kimberly Klaiber said yesterday.
A few walls need to be sheetrocked,
some minor electrical and plumbing
work need to be done and then the
cleanup can take place, she said.
No one wants it done more than us, she
said.
Some of the most recent code enforcement
violations the family were hit with include use
of the property as a dumping ground; haz-
ardous or unsanitary premises, debris, junk,
garbage and vegetation accumulations on the
property; re hazard, excessive accumulation
of storage, junk and/or debris on the property;
inadequate exits, excessive accumulation of
storage, junk creating potential safe egress
hazard; and storage in public view, junk,
debris, construction materials stored in public
view.
Barnes is Kimberly Klaibers mother and
the family had a young child living on the
property, according to the complaint.
The city red-tagged the home in May and
ordered the family to vacate and make the
needed repairs.
A nonprot agency, Rebuilding Together,
even had a slew of volunteers come to the
property in August to help clean up the prop-
erty but were told by the Klaibers in
September that their assistance was no longer
desired, according to the complaint.
The city, depending on court action, may
actually hire a contractor to perform the need-
ed repairs to the home and clean up the yard at
the familys expense. The property is current-
ly considered a public nuisance by the city. A
hearing on the preliminary injunction is
scheduled for Feb. 14.
But the Klaibers said they can satisfy the
citys demands before their looming court
date.
Weve been contacted by so many people
who want to help, Kimberly Klaiber said.

FOOD 19
By Betsy Blaney
LUBBOCK, Texas Attention, bread
shoppers: A Texas company could have
the answer to some consumers unwel-
come discovery that just-purchased loaves
contain mold.
MicroZap Inc. claims its technology
allows bread to stay mold-free for 60 days.
The bread is bombarded with microwaves
for about 10 seconds, which kills the mold
spores, said chief executive ofcer Don
Stull said.
The process could
eliminate bakers
need for preserv-
atives and
i n g r e d i e n t s
used to mask
preservatives
avor, as well
as reduce food
waste and
increase breads
shelf life, he
said.
Researchers at
Texas Tech
University also
see using the tech-
nology in bread made
in developing countries,
where there are fewer food safe-
ty standards and spoilage is a prob-
lem.
It could help us provide an abundant
food source for those in need, said Mindy
Brashear, director of the Lubbock univer-
sitys Center for Food Industry Excellence.
The prospect of helping people in develop-
ing countries is what motivated the micro-
biology professor to help develop the tech-
nology over the last eight years.
After 60 days, researchers found the
treated bread that remained packaged had
the same mold content when compared to
a freshly baked loaf, Stull said. In the end,
though, he knows it comes down to con-
sumers palates.
The consumers saw no discernible
quality difference in the breads, Stull said
of testers who found the treated breads
taste and texture unchanged.
An Associated Press reporter found the
same. Though slightly warm from the
microwaves, a piece of whole-grain white
bread was soft and tasted like one that had-
nt been zapped. Sixty-day-old bread was
not available to taste.
Estimates from the Natural Resources
Defense Council this year indicated that in
2008, in-store food losses in the U.S.
totaled an estimated 43 billion pounds
10 percent of all foods supplied to retail
outlets most of which are perishables,
including bread.
Unrefrigerated bread in plastic packag-
ing will succumb to mold in about 10 days,
so keeping it at bay for 60 days presents a
fresh proposition.
Not so fast, says Ruth MacDonald, pro-
fessor and chair of food science and
human nutrition at Iowa
S t a t e
University.
There are thou-
sands of airborne mold
spores everywhere, she said, adding that
though bread producers might like the
technology for storage and transportation,
those spores are problematic at home.
Once you open (the bag of bread), all
bets are off, she said.
Mold is a type of fungus that forms
because bread wrapped in plastic packag-
ing still has water inside it. When that
trapped water begins to evaporate inside
the bag, the breads surface becomes
moist, creating the ideal environment for
mold.
Researchers with the university tested
the MicroZap on three different mold
types on breads inside plastic bags with
twist ties, and the microwaves destroyed
each one.
But there are characteristics that the zap-
ping wont improve; it wont keep bread
from going stale. As for touch, rmness
and avor after 60 days, one scientist had
his doubts.
There would certainly be some ques-
tions that I would have around the texture
of the bread holding for 60 days, said
Brian Strouts, head of experimental baking
for the Manhattan, Kan.-based nonprot
American Institute of Baking. It would
not be the answer to all the problems with
baked goods. Theres a lot of things that
can start happening, including bread
becoming rancid.
MicroZap is not a commercial bakery
and has no plans to package its own bread
or operate a plant where bread is treated.
For now, its goal is to nd a bread man-
ufacturer that wants to implement a
pilot program using a simi-
lar metallic device as the
testing prototype in a
production line.
A patent is pending
on the technology,
Stull said, adding
that theyre in
talks with
investors. The
U.S. Department
of Agriculture
also has contact-
ed MicroZap
about possibly
using the tech-
nology for
exported fruits
and vegetables.
Stull said
MicroZap has just com-
pleted drawings for an in-home unit, so
that consumers could treat bread and other
foods themselves. He estimated an in-
home unit would cost about $100 more
than a regular microwave.
Microwaving bread is not the same as
irradiation a technique that kills food
pathogens as no gamma rays are used.
The U.S. government has approved irradi-
ation for a variety of foods meat, spices,
certain imported fruits, the seeds used to
grow sprouts. It does not make the food
radioactive.
The microwaves used in the university
lab are the same frequency as commercial
units, but delivered in an array that gets a
homogenous signal to the bread, eliminat-
ing the hot and cold spots common when
heating food in kitchen microwaves.
Texas company: Microwave
stops bread mold for 60 days
Some states unhappy about
the idea of happy hour bans
By Michelle Locke
During happy hour at the Summer Winter bar in Burlington,
Mass., the bargain is on the bivalves, not the brews.
Thats because Massachusetts legislators passed a law in 1984
banning bars from offering cut-price drinks. So James Flaherty,
the bars director of food and beverage, decided to use shellsh
specials to draw customers.
Weve had to get creative by offering something other than a
typical happy hour, he said. Having a raw bar at the heart of the
restaurant, we launched Oyster Happy Hour to appeal to the after
work crowd with fresh, local selections and its become a popu-
lar draw.
And Massachusetts isnt alone. The concept of happy hour
when bars offer lower prices or two-for-one specials may
seem like an American tradition, but is in fact illegal or restrict-
ed in quite a few places.
Laws vary by state, and even districts within states, so its hard
to get a handle on the national picture, but Ben Jenkins, vice
president of government communications for the Distilled Spirits
Council of the United States (DISCUS), has noted some recent
activity aimed at updating happy hour laws.
A few states, including Oklahoma, Massachusetts and
Virginia, recently have considered changes to existing restric-
tions. The bills failed, but are likely to re-emerge.
Meanwhile, happy hour became legal in Kansas last year after
a 26-year ban. In 2011, Pennsylvania extended happy hour
potentials from two to four hours and New Hampshire changed
its law to allow establishments to advertise drinks specials.
DISCUS does not take a position on happy hour bills, but
Jenkins sees the activity in the context of a larger modernization
trend. States across the country are updating their liquor laws to
provide better consumer convenience and increased revenue
without raising taxes, he says.
The patchwork nature of the laws is a holdover from
Prohibition, when states were left to set regulations once the fed-
eral ban had been repealed. Some of the laws written then are
still on the books, which can strike an anachronistic note today.
For instance, its still illegal to sell alcohol in South Carolina on
Election Day.

the Smarter Balanced Assessment
Consortium in his report,
Recommendations for Transitioning
California to a Future Assessment
System, released yesterday. Making
changes will take time but the ultimate
goal is for students to be more prepared
for college and work requirements while
giving teachers more timely informa-
tion.
This represents a positive step forward
in standards for California, said County
Deputy Superintendent Gary Waddell.
These new standards are tightly
designed and represent new ways of
thinking about the content of instruction
in English language arts and mathemat-
ics. Similarly, the new assessments that
will accompany them represent new,
deeper ways of knowing about our stu-
dents. Importantly, they do what we have
long been asking that assessments do
assess not only student learning, but also
their ability to manipulate and synthe-
size knowledge and to apply what they
have learned in a variety of contexts,
Waddell said.
In 2010, California joined other states
establishing national academic stan-
dards, known as the Common Core
Standards. However, the state has not
updated the way it tests students or ranks
schools. The states existing STAR
Program assessments are scheduled to
end July 1, 2014. The idea is to roll out
the new recommendations in phases
with the test to be rst used in the 2014-
15 school year. Schools that dont have
the bandwidth to support the computer
tests will be allowed to use a paper and
pencil alternative in the rst three years,
Torlakson said. In preparation,
Torlakson is proposing the suspension of
testing that isnt federally mandated in
the 2013-14 school year including
testing of second grade students and a
number of course exams in non-core
high school classes, said state Deputy
Superintendent Deb Sigman.
Torlakson called for the creation of
tools that would allow teachers to test
students throughout the year on the sub-
jects in hopes of better meeting the
needs of students.
Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla, D-
Concord, who was previously a teacher,
said getting results from tests over the
summer was always frustrating.
Californias battery of tests is mostly
used to judge how well schools are
doing at teaching students. Those scores
are used to generate the academic per-
formance index, a ranking system used
to compare the schools.
Also, the tests are supposed to show
students understand a topic, Bonilla
said. The states testing results show stu-
dents understand the standards but more
than 50 percent of them require remedi-
ation classes in college. Testing needs to
change to be a more effective tool, said
Bonilla, who plans to help introduce the
necessarily legislation to start making
the changes.
The vision for the revamped tests
would be possibly eliminate the need for
a separate high school exit exam and
possibly to place students into college
classes, according to the report.
TESTS
the motions until Jan. 15. Following jury
selection, opening statements and evi-
dence will likely begin in February.
Hutchinson faces life in prison with-
out parole if convicted of murder, rob-
bery and the special allegation of com-
mitting a murder during the commission
of another felony. Prosecutors opted
against the death penalty.
Korn died two weeks after allegedly
encountering Hutchinson who prosecu-
tors say broke into his Hallmark Drive
home, beat him and ed in his car with a
wallet and jewelry. Hutchinson was
identified as the suspect after being
arrested for similar home invasion rob-
beries in West Sacramento. After being
convicted in those crimes, Hutchinson
was sentenced to prison for six years and
eight months and sent back to San Mateo
County. Hutchinson was also charged in
a jailhouse attack after his arrest on cor-
rectional ofcers providing security for a
maintenance worker in his cell.
In April 2011, Hutchinson was com-
mitted to a state hospital after being
found mentally unt but doctors there
found him competent and returned him
to San Mateo County for prosecution
last year. Hutchinsons competency was
questioned in Yolo County and also in
previous San Mateo County cases. In
one incident, approximately a year
before Korns beating, Hutchinson
reportedly yelled epithets and spit at one
of two women standing with their young
children at the Hillsdale Caltrain station
in San Mateo.
Hutchinson remains in custody with-
out bail.

TRIAL
By Ryan Nakashima
LAS VEGAS In the not-so-distant
future, couch potatoes will be waving,
pointing, swiping and tapping to make
their TVs react, kind of like what Tom
Cruise did in the 2002 movie Minority
Report. Thats the vision of TV manu-
facturers as they show off smart TVs.
The sets will recognize whos watching
and will try to guess what viewers want to
see. Theyll respond to more natural
speech and will connect with your smart-
phone in a single touch.
The idea is to make TV watching easi-
er and more pleasant as viewers are con-
fronted with more and more choices
from the hundreds of live TV channels
from the cable or satellite provider to
online video services such as Netix Inc.,
Hulu and Apples iTunes. A traditional
remote control that lets you ip through
channels one at a time suddenly seems
inadequate.
At a speech this week, Samsung
President Boo-Keun Yoon said the com-
pany was developing TVs that have the
power to create the ultimate lean-back
experience.
But dont worry about Big Brother
looking back at you. Manufacturers such
as Samsung Electronics Co. will allow
motion-capturing cameras to be pointed
away.
Gesture recognition still has a long
ways to go, and in some demonstrations
at this weeks International CES show in
Las Vegas, voice commands got lost in
translation.
At a crowded Samsung booth, one
attendant demonstrated how hand ges-
tures were used to play simple kids
games. Raising her hand brought up an
on-screen cursor. Grasping the air was
equivalent to clicking on what her digital
hand was hovering over.
However, when she tried the same ges-
tures on a menu of TV-watching options,
the TV didnt respond well. When she
tried to give a kind of sideways wave
like Queen Elizabeth greeting her sup-
porters the page didnt swipe to the left
as it should have.
The technology appeared less respon-
sive compared with the Xbox 360s
Kinect motion-control system, which
seems to do a much better job at swiping
through menus.
Later, in a quiet, enclosed Samsung
booth, the TV struggled to comprehend
voice commands. The TV was asked,
nd me a movie with Tom Cruise, and
correctly pulled up an online trailer of his
latest movie, Jack Reacher. The system
was then asked to nd me dramas.
Smart TVs get smarter, by just a little
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 2013
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- None among your
group of friends will have a knack for organizing like
yours. Appoint yourself director and start putting
some plans together that everyone will enjoy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- That burning feeling
in your ears is likely to be due to so many friends
saying nice things about you. You have far more
boosters than you realize.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- When socializing,
dont merely mingle with people looking for polite
chitchat -- circulate with persons whom you can
learn from.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A coveted goal can be
achieved if youre willing to work for it. Put aside any
trivial endeavors and go for that special something
that youve wanted for a long time.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Generally, its wise to
avoid discussions on religion and/or politics, but if a
friend should offer a friendly, fresh perspective, you
might fnd it interesting.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- This might be the
day to put an idea to the test regarding a fnancial
arrangement. The least you could do is try it out; the
payoff could be substantial if things work out.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Conditions that
infuence you both physically and mentally can be
exceptionally harmonious if you handle things in a
warm, friendly manner. Play life light and easy.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- When you expend your
energies on labors of love, youll be amazed at how
much you can accomplish, and the enjoyment youll
derive from the process. You deserve such a day.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- After being subjected
to a couple of hectic days, youre entitled to let
yourself go and relax a little. You dont need any
social fanfare -- just time alone with your special
someone.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You should take
prospective clients to your favorite haunt rather than
to a fancy place. Youll achieve more in a convivial,
homey atmosphere.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Having too structured
a schedule might fnd you much too restless and
champing at the bit. Leave yourself some space
in which to move about and be able to do as your
impulses direct.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Friends or
relatives who truly believe in you could serve as a
springboard to success. Their suggestions on how to
handle your troubles should take the strain off.
