Redwood City councilmembers
and individuals with something to
say to them may soon have new
guidelines on how to do so during
city meetings.
The City Council tonight will
consider a proposed set of policy
guidelines governing communica-
tion and public participation. The
11-page document also addresses
how to use electronic media, city
letterhead and titles on candidate
endorsements and ballot measures
but the lions share is focused on
meeting behavior.
There were pieces of this all in
different places. The thought was to
put it together, said Councilwoman
Rosanne Foust who with
Councilman John Seybert sat on ad
hoc committee to develop the draft
at the request of Mayor Alicia
Aguirre
Foust said the guide isnt a
response to any issues with how
business is conducted but a tool pro-
viding consistency across councils,
mayoral styles and topics. That said,
Foust said the mayor will still have
discretion on matters like ceding
time even though the proposal said
there will be no yielding of time to
other speakers with the rule
underlined for emphasis.
Other features include prohibiting
potentially disruptive conduct, like
clapping and hissing, ending meet-
ings no later than 11 p.m. without a
5/7th vote, banning sitting on the
oor or standing anywhere other
than the back of the room. Once the
public comment period begins, no
additional speaker cards will be col-
lected and no extra speakers will be
allowed at the podium.
This allows all groups to have
the same rights and privileges and

County moves
to protect its
own finances
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Spurred by a year of mismanage-
ment and alleged embezzlement at
several special districts, Supervisor
Dave Pine is asking his colleagues
to pony up more than a quarter-mil-
lion dollars to protect the countys
own nances.
Pine will ask
the Board of
S u p e r v i s o r s
Tuesday to use
$262,600 to
establish audit-
ing and whistle-
blowing guide-
lines along with
a handful of
other recom-
mendations aimed at keeping the
countys books and workers squeaky
clean. Ongoing costs of $64,000 to
$69,000 annually will come back to
the board at a future date.
The recommendation is in line
with a 2003 civil grand jury report
that recommended the board create a
whistleblower process. The board
followed in 2004 with a ordinance
creating an anonymous method of
reporting suspicions although the
recommendation for Tuesday takes
the idea further.
The money will by used to make
reporting suspected fraud and abuse
easier for employees by creating a
single web-based place that consoli-
dates all the guidelines and proce-
dures. The proposal also calls for
improving the countys response to
the reports so they are more inde-
pendent and condential.

Wii U: New console
launches in a sea of gadgets
NEW YORK In the six years since
the last major video game system
launched, Apple unveiled the iPhone and
the iPad, Angry Birds invaded smart-
phones and Facebook reached a billion
users. In the process, scores of video
game consoles were left to languish in
living rooms alongside dusty VCRs and
disc players.
On Sunday, Nintendo Co. is launching
the Wii U, a game machine designed to
appeal both to the original Wiis casual
audience and the hardcore gamers who
skip work to be among the rst to play
the latest Call of Duty release. Just
like the Wii Us predecessor, the Wii,
which has sold nearly 100 million units
worldwide since 2006, the new con-
soles intended audience truly is 5 to
95, says Reggie Fils-Aime, the presi-
dent of Nintendo of America, the
Japanese companys U.S. arm.
But the Wii U arrives in a new world.
Video game console sales have been
falling, largely because its been so long
since a new system has launched. Most
people who wanted an Xbox 360,
PlayStation 3 or a Wii already have one.
Another reason: People in the broad 5-
to-95 age range have shifted their atten-
tion to games on Facebook, tablet com-
puters and mobile phones.
U.S. video game sales last month,
including hardware, software and acces-
sories, totaled $755.5 million, according to
the research rm NPD Group. In October
2007, the gure stood at $1.1 billion.
The Wii U is likely to do well during
the holiday shopping season, analysts
believe so well that shoppers may see
shortages. But the surge could peter out
in 2013. The Wii U is not expected to be
the juggernaut that the Wii was in its
heyday, according to research rm IHS
iSuppli. The Wii outsold its competitors,
the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, in
its rst four years on sale, logging some
79 million units by the end of 2010. By
comparison, IHS expects the Wii U to
sell 56.7 million in its rst four years.
In the age of a million gadgets and
lean wallets, the storied game company
faces a new challenge: convincing peo-
ple that they need a new video game sys-
tem rather than, say, a new iPad.
The Wii U, which starts at $300, isnt
lacking in appeal. It allows for asymmet-
rical game play, meaning two people
playing the same game can have entirely
different experiences depending on
whether they use a new tablet-like con-
troller called the GamePad or the tradition-
al Wii remote. The GamePad can also be
used to play games without using a TV set,
as you would on a regular tablet. And it
serves as a fancy remote controller to nav-
igate a TV-watching feature called TVii,
which will be available in December.
Nintendo, known for iconic game
characters such as Mario, Donkey Kong
and Zelda, is expected to sell the con-
soles quickly in the weeks leading up to
the holidays. After all, its been six long
years and sons, daughters, brothers and
sisters are demanding presents.
GameStop Corp., the worlds No. 1
video game retailer, said last week that
advance orders sold out and it has near-
ly 500,000 people on its Wii U waitlist.
Even so, its a very, very crowded
space in consumer electronics this hol-
iday season, notes Ben Bajarin, a princi-
pal analyst at Creative Strategies who
covers gaming.
Apples duo of iPads, the full-size model
and a smaller version called the Mini, will
be competing for shoppers attention. Not
to be outdone, Amazon.com Inc. has
launched a trove of Kindle tablets and e-
readers in time for the holidays. These
range from the Paperwhite, a touch-screen
e-reader, to the Kindle Fire HD, which fea-
tures a color screen and can work with a
cellular data plan. Then there are the new
laptops and cheaper, thinner ultrabooks
featuring Microsofts new Windows 8
operating system not to mention smart-
phones from Apple Inc., Samsung and
other manufacturers.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
G
eorge H. Howard, architect of
Burlingames train station and Kohl
Mansion, typified Californias
Gilded Age. At the end of the 1800s, lavish
displays of wealth announced not only the
social status of the individual, but also the
arrival of Californians on the world stage to
compete as social equals with New Yorks
high society. During this time, Howard and
others engaged in building projects designed
to impress visitors with Californias sophisti-
cation and to shed its image as a rough wild
West state.
After creating a fortune during the Gold
Rush, the Howard family sought to create a
genteel country life on the Peninsula in the
1850s. Where others might have seen the area
near todays downtown San Mateo as primi-
tive, the Howards saw possibilities. In 1864,
George H. Howard was the rst baby baptized
within the newly organized St. Matthews
Episcopal Church in San Mateo. The follow-
ing year, his parents nanced the construction
of a Gothic stone church that stood in stark
contrast to the handful of wooden frontier
structures nearby.
The Howards continued their plans to
improve the Peninsula. Before George turned
10, his parents went to Europe in search of a
landscaper who could transform the barren,
dusty grasslands surrounding their country
home into beautiful gardens, similar to those
at Versailles. While in Scotland, they found
the perfect candidate: John McLaren. During
the 15 years he worked for the Howards, he is
estimated to have planted more than a million
trees on the mid-Peninsula, including the large
eucalyptus that still line El Camino Real.
Young Georges father was not able to see all
the results of his chief gardeners work; his
father died in 1878 when George was only 14.
Within one year of his fathers death,
Georges mother Agnes married again; this
time to Henry P. Bowie, who was 15 years
younger than she. The Bowies soon left for a
honeymoon in Europe, with the teenaged
George in tow, along with his two younger
siblings. One year turned into two and the
Bowies remained in Europe. While tagging
along on his mothers honeymoon, George
developed a deep appreciation for the neoclas-
sical architecture being taught at the Ecole des
Beaux Art in Paris. He also began to share his
mothers love for formal gardens, especially
the gardens at Versailles, outside of Paris.
In 1888, at the age of 24, George married

Police looking for suspect

Hillsborough police are looking

burglary that took place Friday.
The suspect was captured on
video surveillance camera attempt-
ing to break into a home on the 800

The suspect allegedly entered a
room that did not connect to the

and then used a ladder on the prop-
erty to try to break in through a
second-story window, police said.
He removed a window screen, but
did not succeed in entering the
house.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MONTEREY State and feder-
al ofcials are conducting parallel
investigations into allegations of
wrongdoing by some nurses at a
Soledad prison, The Monterey
Herald reports.
Investigators are looking into pos-
sible payroll fraud, as well as accu-
sations that go as far back as 2009,
some nurses diverted pharmaceuti-
cal narcotics that were intended for
inmates, and falsified medical
records to cover up for the missing
drugs at Soledads Correctional
Training Facility, the newspaper
said in its Sunday edition and on its
website Saturday.
Under a court order, health care at
the prison is being overseen by the
federal receivers ofce.
The state Auditors Ofce; the
Department of Consumer Affairs,
which oversees registered and voca-
tional nursing boards; and the state
Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation, whose internal
investigations unit is working in
conjunction with the receivers
ofce, were conducting the investi-
gations, said Joyce Hahoe, a
spokeswoman for federal receivers
ofce.
The state Auditors Office is
investigating accusations that a
nursing supervisor, Lydia Hampton-
Stewart, collected hundreds of
hours of unwarranted overtime pay,
including payment for days on
which she called in sick at the
prison, The Herald reports.
Hampton-Stewart, who is on sick
leave from the facility, refused to
comment to the Herald.
Also being investigated are at
least two licensed vocational nurses
suspected of diverting narcotic
pharmaceuticals prescribed for
inmates.
The Herald says on Thursday the
state Attorney Generals Ofce led
an administrative accusation against
Director of Nursing Angelia Britt,
alleging she failed to discipline two
vocational nurses suspected of mis-
conduct, prevented others from
doing so and failed to notify the

Prison nurses investigated

LOS ANGELES Damon Vix
didnt have to go to court to push
Christmas out of the city of Santa
Monica. He just joined the festivi-
ties.
The atheists anti-God message
alongside a life-sized nativity dis-
play in a park overlooking the beach
ignited a debate that burned brighter
than any Christmas candle.
Santa Monica ofcials snuffed the
citys holiday tradition this year
rather than referee the religious
rumble, prompting churches that
have set up a 14-scene Christian
diorama for decades to sue over
freedom of speech violations. Their
attorney will ask a federal judge
Monday to resurrect the depiction
of Jesus birth, while the city aims
to eject the case.
Its a sad, sad commentary on
the attitudes of the day that a nearly
60-year-old Christmas tradition is
now having to hunt for a home,
something like our savior had to
hunt for a place to be born because
the world was not interested, said
Hunter Jameson, head of the non-
prot Santa Monica Nativity Scene
Committee that is suing.
Missing from the courtroom
drama will be Vix and his fellow
atheists, who are not parties to the
case. Their role outside court high-
lights a tactical shift as atheists
evolve into a vocal minority eager
to get their non-beliefs into the pub-
lic square as never before.
National atheist groups earlier
this year took out full-page newspa-
per ads and hundreds of TV spots in
response to the Catholic bishops
activism around womens health
care issues and are gearing up to
battle for their own space alongside
public Christmas displays in small
towns across America this season.
In recent years, the tactic of
many in the atheist community has
been, if you cant beat them, join
them, said Charles Haynes, a sen-
ior scholar at the First Amendment
Center and director of the
Newseums Religious Freedom
Education Project in Washington.
If these church groups insist that
these public spaces are going to be
dominated by a Christian message,
well just get in the game and
that changes everything.
In the past, atheists primarily
fought to uphold the separation of
church and state through the courts.
The change underscores the convic-
tion held by many nonbelievers that
their views are gaining a foothold,
especially among young adults.
The Pew Forum on Religion &
Public Life released a study last
month that found 20 percent of
Americans say they have no reli-
gious afliation, an increase from
15 percent in the last ve years.
Atheists took heart from the report,
although Pew researchers stressed
that the category also encompassed
majorities of people who said they
believed in God but had no ties with
organized religion and people who
consider themselves spiritual but
not religious.
Were at the bottom of the totem
pole socially, but we have muscle
and were exing it, said Annie
Laurie Gaylor, co-president of the
Wisconsin-based Freedom from
Religion Foundation. Ignore our
numbers at your peril.

SAN FRANCISCO San
Francisco may be getting ready to
shed its image as a city where any-
thing goes, including clothing.
City lawmakers are scheduled to
vote Tuesday on an ordinance that
would prohibit nudity in most pub-
lic places, a blanket ban that repre-
sents an escalation of a two-year
tiff between a devoted group of
men who strut their stuff through
the citys famously gay Castro
District and the supervisor who rep-
resents the area.
Supervisor Scott Wieners pro-
posal would make it illegal for a
person over the age of 5 to expose
his or her genitals, perineum or anal
region on any public street, side-
walk, street median, parklet or
plaza or while using public transit.
First offense
A first offense would carry a
maximum penalty of a $100 ne,
but prosecutors would have author-
ity to charge a third violation as a
misdemeanor punishable by up to a
$500 fine and a year in jail.
Exemptions would be made for par-
ticipants at permitted street fairs
and parades, such as the citys
annual gay pride event and the
Folsom Street Fair, which cele-
brates sadomasochism and other
sexual subcultures.
Wiener said he resisted introduc-
ing the ordinance, but felt com-
pelled to act after constituents com-
plained about the naked men who
gather in a small Castro plaza most
days and sometimes walk the
streets au naturel. He persuaded his
colleagues last year to pass a law
requiring a cloth to be placed
between public seating and bare
rears, yet the complaints have con-
tinued.
I dont think having some guys
taking their clothes off and hanging
out seven days a week at Castro and
Market Street is really what San
Francisco is about. I think its a car-
icature of what San Francisco is
about, Wiener said.
The proposed ban predictably has
produced outrage, as well as a law-
suit. Last week, about two dozen
people disrobed in front of City Hall
and marched around the block to the
amusement of gawking tourists and
high school students on a eld trip.
Disgust of residents
Stripped down to his sunglasses
and hiking boots, McCray
Winpsett, 37, said he understands
the disgust of residents who would
prefer not to see the body modica-
tions and sex enhancement devices
sported by some of the Castro nud-
ists. But he thinks Wieners prohi-
bition goes too far in undermining a
tradition that keeps San Francisco
weird.
A few lewd exhibitionists are
really ruining it for the rest of us,
he said. Its my time to come out
now to present myself in a light and
show what true nudity is all about
so people can separate the differ-
ence between what a nudist is and
an exhibitionist is.
Because clothes are required to
enter City Hall itself, demonstrators
who try to disrobe at the Board of
Supervisors meeting will be escort-
ed out by sheriffs deputies. That is
what happened last Monday when
Gypsy Taub removed her dress at a
committee hearing where the ban
had its rst public hearing. Taub, a
mother of two, said she got her start
as a nudist while hosting a local
cable program devoted to the theo-
ry that the government was behind
the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
I thought if I take my clothes
off, I bet they are going to listen,
she said.
San Francisco lawyer Christina
DiEdoardo led a federal lawsuit
last week on behalf of Taub and
three men that seeks to block
Weiners ordinance, if it passes and
is signed by Mayor Edwin Lee. The
complaint alleges that the ban
infringes on the free speech rights
of nudists and discriminates against
those who cannot afford to obtain a
city permit.
Local nudity laws
While it may seem strange that
going out in the buff is not already
illegal in San Francisco, most
California cities do not have local
nudity laws, Wiener said. Instead,
they are adequately covered by
state indecent exposure laws and
societal mores. But indecent expo-
sure technically only applies to
lewd behavior, so city ofcials have
had to craft a local solution, he said,
adding that the cities of Berkeley
and San Jose already have done so.
I suspect there are a lot of places
that maybe dont currently have a
local law (and) that if people start-
ed getting naked every day would
quickly see a local law, Wiener
said.

WASHINGTON The way the FBI
responded to Jill Kelleys complaint
about receiving harassing emails, which
ultimately unraveled or scarred the
careers of ex-CIA Director David
Petraeus and Marine Gen. John Allen, is
the exception, not the rule.
The FBI commonly declines to pursue
cyberstalking cases without compelling
evidence of serious or imminent harm to
an individual, victims of online harass-
ment, advocacy groups and computer
crime experts told The Associated Press.
But in the sensational episode that
uncovered the spy chiefs adulterous
affair, the FBIs cyberdivision devoted
months of tedious investigative work to
uncover who had sent insulting and
anonymous messages about Kelley, the
Florida socialite who was friendly with
Petraeus and Allen and friends with a
veteran FBI counterterrorism agent in
Tampa.
The bureau probably would have
ignored Kelleys
complaint had it not
been for information
in the emails that
indicated the sender
was aware of the
travel schedules of
Petraeus and Allen,
the top U.S. com-
mander in
Afghanistan. Instead,
the FBI considered this from the earliest
stages to be an exceptional case, and one
so sensitive that FBI Director Robert
Mueller and Attorney General Eric
Holder were kept notied of its progress.
How the FBIs investigation unfolded
especially its decision not to alert the
White House, the director of national
intelligence or Congress about its dis-
covery of Petraeuss sexual affair until
Election Day is under scrutiny, espe-
cially because there is no indication so
far that any criminal charges will be
led.
Mueller and his deputy, Sean Joyce,
have met privately with lawmakers to
defend how the inquiry was handled.
Holder said on Thursday that law
enforcement ofcials did not inform the
president and Congress about the probe
because it did not uncover any threat to
national security.
President Barack Obama said he was
withholding judgment until he learns
more. You know, we dont have all the
information yet, Obama said at a White
House news conference. But I want to
say that I have a lot of condence gener-
ally in the FBI. He added that it was
best right now for us to just see how
this whole process is unfolding.
The FBIs cybersquads, like the one in
Tampa that investigated the Petraeus
case, are primarily focused on blocking
criminals and terrorists from using the
Internet to threaten national security or
steal valuable information stored in gov-
ernment and corporate computers.
An AP review of court records found
only nine cases over the past two years
that identied cyberstalking or cyberha-
rassment as the underlying crime in fed-
eral criminal complaints.

Wedding trade expects boost
from gay-marriage laws
PORTLAND, Maine In the two weeks since Maine voters
approved a law allowing same-sex marriage, Clay Hill Farm has
been getting phone calls and emails from gay couples inquiring
about open dates and wedding packages at the restaurant and
wildlife sanctuary, a popular wedding spot in York.
The law wont go into effect for more than six weeks, but
already couples from in and out of state have called, said Jennifer
Lewis-McShera, who heads the wedding department there.
Clay Hill Farm puts on dozens of wedding ceremonies a year,
as well as receptions and rehearsal dinners, and provides catering
services to wedding parties at other locations. Legalizing same-
sex marriage can only help, Lewis-McShera said.

it came with cool, businesslike assurance. Experts in leadership

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Lawmakers
said Sunday they want to know who
had a hand in creating the Obama
administrations now-discredited
talking points about the Sept. 11
attack on a U.S. diplomatic post in
Benghazi, Libya, and why a nal
draft omitted the CIAs early con-
clusion that terrorists were
involved.
The answers could explain why
President Barack Obama and top
aides, including U.N. Ambassador
Susan Rice, described the attack for
days afterward as a protest against
an anti-Islam video that sponta-
neously turned violent and why they
played down any potential link to
al-Qaida, despite evidence to the
contrary.
Administration officials have
defended the portrayal of the attack
as relying on the best information
available at the time that didnt
compromise classied intelligence.
Democrats say CIA and other intel-
ligence ofcials signed off on the
nal talking points.
Republicans have alleged a
Watergate-like
cover up, accus-
ing White House
aides of hiding
the terrorism
link in the run-
up to the Nov. 6
presidential elec-
tion so voters
wouldnt ques-
tion Obamas
claim that al-Qaidas power had
diminished.
I know the narrative was wrong
and the intelligence was right. ...
Were going to get to the bottom of
how that happened, said Rep. Mike
Rogers, R-Mich., chairman of the
House Intelligence Committee.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who heads
the Senate Intelligence Committee,
said she doesnt believe the White
House altered the document for
political reasons. But she said she
has lingering concerns about how
the talking points were created
when it was clear early on that the
military-style assault wasnt a sim-
ple protest gone awry.
She said Congress has asked the
administration to provide a detailed
explanation.
We gave the direction yesterday
that this whole process is going to
be checked out, said Feinstein, D-
Calif. Were going to nd out who
made changes in the original state-
ment. Until, we do I really think its
unwarranted to make accusations.
The inquiry comes on the heels of
closed testimony to the committees
last week by former CIA Director
David Petraeus. According to law-
makers who attended the meetings,
Petraeus said the reference to al-
Qaida was removed from the nal
version of talking points, although
he wasnt sure who or which feder-
al agency deleted it.
A senior U.S. official familiar
with the document, who spoke on
condition of anonymity because the
ofcial was not authorized to dis-
cuss the process publicly, said the
al-Qaida reference was deleted
because the information came from
classied sources and the links were
tenuous. The administration also
did not want to prejudice a criminal
investigation in its early stages, that
ofcial said.
Feinstein conrmed that intelli-
gence ofcials told her in closed
briengs that they were reluctant to
name any particular terrorist group
without being certain. But, she
added, it was clear very soon after
the attack that the violence didnt
stem from a political demonstration.
Ben Rhodes, Obamas deputy
national security adviser, told
reporters traveling with the presi-
dent to Asia that any substantive
edits to the talking points would
have come from intelligence agen-
cies themselves.
The only change the White House
made, he said, was to correct a ref-
erence to the facility in Benghazi as
a diplomatic facility, instead of a
consulate.
Other than that we were guided
by the points that were provided by
the intelligence community. So I
cant speak to any other edits that
may have been made, he said.
But lawmakers said that Capitol
Hill briengs last week represented
the FBI, State Department and CIA,
and that ofcials did not address
what role political appointees such
as Rice might have played in the
generation of the talking points.
Republicans said they want Rice to
testify about what she knew and
when she knew it.
What I do know is that every
member in the intelligence commu-
nity says that references to al-Qaida
were removed by somebody, they
dont know who, said Sen. Saxby
Chambliss, R-Ga.
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., chair-
man of the Senate Armed Services
Committee, said Petraeus had
signed off on the nal talking points
and that going after Rice was a use-
less witch hunt.
But Rep. Peter King said senior
intelligence ofcials were strong-
armed into doing so.
Well, they had no choice, said
King, R-N.Y., chairman of the
House Homeland Security
Committee. They had no choice at
that stage.
King did not elaborate on how he
would know whether Petraeus was
compelled to sign off on the talking
points, and the lawmaker did not
give any more details to bolster his
allegation.
Sen. Olympia Snowe, a member
of the Senate Intelligence
Committee, said she expects the
committee will hold at least three
more hearings on the matter and
publish a report on its ndings.

YANGON, Myanmar In the
west, terried villagers ee burning
homes after an explosion of ethnic
and religious violence. In the north,
refugees from a civil war cower in
chilly camps, desperately short on
lifes basic necessities. And in dank
jails, hundreds of political prisoners
languish behind bars, wondering
when theyll ever be freed.
This is not the Myanmar that
President Barack Obama will see
when he becomes the rst American
head of state to visit this pagoda-
studded country on Monday. He
wants to encourage the stunning
democratic transformation
Myanmar has undergone since last
year, but there are concerns his visit
may be premature.
The nations warp-speed revolu-
tion is fragile. Its nascent transition
has already been bloody. And much
unnished business remains: from
repealing harsh laws that helped
silence a generation of pro-democ-
racy dissidents, to overhauling a
political power structure still tipped
heavily in favor of army rule.
If President Obama doesnt put
his full weight behind further urgent
reforms in Myanmar, this trip risks
being an ill-timed presidential pat
on the back for a regime that has
looked the other way as violence
rages, destroying villages and com-
munities just in the last few weeks,
said Suzanne Nossel, the U.S.-
based director of Amnesty
International.
White House ofcials cautioned
Thursday that Obamas visit to
Myanmar, also known as Burma,
should not be viewed as a victory
celebration. They reiterated that
urgent action is still needed, partic-
ularly on freeing political prisoners
and ending the unrest in western
Rakhine state.
This is a moment when we
believe the Burmese leaders have
put their feet on the right path and
that its critical to us that we not
miss the moment to inuence them
to keep going, said Danny Russel,
Obamas top Asia adviser.
There is little doubt that the
reforms in Myanmar have come
quicker and gone farther than any-
one here dared dream.
Just a few years ago, this was a
place denigrated by Washington as
an isolated outpost of tyranny, a
country led by a xenophobic clique
of army ofcers so distrustful of the
West that they rejected foreign aid
even when Cyclone Nargis killed
more than 100,000 people in 2008.
Even when the junta ceded power
to an elected government early last
year, few considered the prospect
of real change. The vote, boycotted
by the main opposition, was con-
sidered neither free nor fair, and the
new president, Thein Sein, was a
former general.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip An
Israeli missile ripped through a two-
story home in a residential area of
Gaza City on Sunday, killing at least
11 civilians, including four young
children and an 81-year-old woman,
in the single deadliest attack of Israels
offensive against Islamic militants.
The bloodshed was likely to raise
pressure on Israel to end the ght-
ing, even as it pledged to intensify
the offensive by striking the homes
of wanted militants. High numbers
of civilian casualties in an offensive
four years ago led to erce criticism
and condemnation of Israel.
In all, 73 Palestinians, including
37 civilians, have been killed in the
five-day onslaught. Three Israeli
civilians have also died from
Palestinian rocket re.
President Barack Obama said he
was in touch with players across the
region in hopes of halting the ght-
ing, while also warning of the risks
of Israel expanding its air assault
into a ground war.
Were going to have to see what
kind of progress we can make in the
next 24, 36, 48 hours, Obama said
during a visit in Thailand.
On the ground, there were no signs
of any letup in the ghting as Israel
announced it was widening the offen-
sive to target the military commanders
of the ruling Hamas group.
The Israeli military carried out
dozens of airstrikes throughout the
day, and naval forces bombarded tar-
gets along Gazas Mediterranean
coast. Many of the attacks focused on
homes where militant leaders or
weapons were believed to be hidden.

Hypocrisy and denial
Editor,
I have always been impressed with
the political analysis of Karl Rove.
Therefore, I was stunned to read that he
attributed the Romney loss in part to
Obamas suppression of the vote. At
rst I though this opinion deed logic
but then I realized Rove was taking his
own gigantic effort to suppress
Democratic minority votes across the
country and dropping it on to Obama, a
terric example of the unconscious
defense mechanism know as projection.

Are we going to ask Jerry Springer to

defense? Im sure we can nd some
hanky panky in Leon Panettas past that
might qualify as scandalous. Looks like
everybodys doing it! Hey, remember
when the Republicans shut down the
government to get to the bottom of that
Blue Dress Lewinsky thingy? Now
thats how to get everyones attention.
Shut it all down. No legislation, no pol-
icy discussions, no foreign policy mat-
ters. Just that blue dress and all the
trimmings. America needs to know.
Never mind that the entire world
thinks that weve taken leave of our
senses. Why must we have to care
about who is fooling around with
whom? I thought that scene where pre-
vious French Prime Minister Mitterand
passed away and his wife and kids
commiserated with his mistress and her
kids (also his) showed real class. Too

Republican Party should secede
Editor,
Maybe it is time for the California
Republican Party to secede from the
national Republican Party and present
more moderate and progressive posi-
tions on the states welfare. The nation-
al party did more to lose the election
because of candidates who shot their
mouth off like Akin and Mourdock,
people who have no clue about women
and rape and so much more.
I believe there are moderate, progres-
sive Republicans in the state, and they
should be heard without the distraction
from the national venue.

Response to Using
Proposition 30 funds wisely
Editor,
Richard Bensons letter, Using
Proposition 30 funds wisely, in the
Nov. 14 edition of the Daily Journal
raised my eyebrows. Does the voter not
understand that very little if any
of that tax revenue will go to schools?
Its going to disappear in the general
fund, together with any and all other
taxes the voters have so graciously
approved. Reading the propositions and
doing some searches before you
approve might be a good way to under-
stand what the government does with
our money. Its certainly not what the
proponents of the propositions tell you.
They all agrantly lie. Its all about the
money, honey.

Gone are the days
Editor,
Gone are the days when former
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
launched bold government programs
to cover a country 27 times the size
of Germany with a network of inter-
state highways. Gone are the years
when former President Lyndon B.
Johnson declared war on poverty and
enacted federal laws declaring that
there could be no second- or third-
class citizens, regardless of skin
color. And gone is the spirit of renew-
al after former President John F.
Kennedys visionary promise to send
Americans to the moon within a
decade, a program that would cost
taxpayers billions.
Thats when an ultimatum expires.
That is known as the fiscal cliff,
which Democrats and Republicans set
for themselves after the dramatic fail-
ure of their budget negotiations in the
summer of 2011 so as not to drive the
worlds largest government budget
against a wall. If both sides cant
agree to a joint solution, budget cuts
and tax increases will automatically
take effect on Dec. 31, which will
massively reduce the deficit by $900
billion.
President Obama has announced that
he will veto any proposal that doesnt
include higher taxes for the rich. Now
the United States alone, one govern-
ment alone, owes that much money to
the world! And of course, the rest of
the world, they owe their governments
too because theyre all operating on
decit spending.

Letters to the editor
The Stockton Record
C
alifornia votes performed some
much needed emergency triage
on the state budget when, by a
54-46 percent margin, they approved
Proposition 30.
The proposition bumps income taxes
on the wealthiest in the state and
increases the sales taxes on anyone else
who buys just about anything.
The argument by Gov. Jerry Brown
and others was that the ballot measure
will give the state budget a $6 billion
infusion that will go to schools. But
opponents were correct when they
argued theres nothing in Proposition
30 to keep lawmakers from using the
new money for other purposes.
To be sure, much of it will go to edu-
cation, which already is a huge part of
the budget.
But as state Treasurer Bill Lockyer
told the Los Angeles Times, no sooner
than it became clear Proposition 30
would win than his phone started ring-
ing. Everybody wanted a piece of it.
They had to be reminded the money
has already been spent, Lockyer said.
Indeed, the new money is built into
the old budget, the one passed last sum-
mer. All Proposition 30 does is stave
off midyear cuts that, among other
things, might have cut three weeks
from the K-12 school calendar.
School ofcials throughout the state
are giddy Proposition 30 passed.
Without it, schools were in for an addi-
tional $5 billion in cuts.
The question is, will schools get what
they and most voters who passed
Proposition 30 assumed theyd get?
The question looms larger now that
Democrats have supermajorities in the
Assembly and Senate.
Republicans can yammer all they
want, but they are powerless to stop
adding spending back into the budget
and even tax increases.
Voters would be wise to remind their
state representatives that they expect
them to do the right thing, that the new
money isnt free money, and that pas-
sage of Proposition 30 was not a vote
of condence for whats been going on
in Sacramento or a license to keep
doing it.
Proposition 30 issues not over
Post-election
commentary
I
n San Mateo County, 63 percent voted for Proposition
30, the governors plan to balance the state budget and
safeguard education funding (at least for a while). Thats
10 percent higher than the statewide approval of 53.9 percent.
For the anti-union Proposition 32 which would stop payroll
political contributions, the countys vote was 64 percent
against. In the Bay Area, only Alameda, Marin, San Francisco
and Sonoma had higher numbers.
When it came to repealing
the death penalty,
Proposition 34, San Mateo
County voters approved
while it failed statewide.
County voters split their
votes on modifying the
Three Strikes law,
Proposition 36, with 50 per-
cent voting for and 50 per-
cent voting against. The
proposition passed statewide
with more than 71 percent of
the vote. Voters were also
split down the middle on
Proposition 37, the labeling
of genetically modied food. Yet it received proportionally
more votes in San Mateo County than in any other Bay Area
county. This measure failed statewide.
Whats really amazing when you look at the data, is how
few people vote on the propositions. Its a call to get rid of
them.
***
San Mateo County measures held a few surprises. Most
people expected Measure A, the county sales tax increase, to
fail miserably. But it won handily, heavily nanced by Seton
Medical Center, which plans on receiving a sizable sum for
seismic upgrading of its Daly City facility. Many expected
voters to turn down a change in how we elect our supervisors.
Twice before voters had said no to district elections but this
time the answer was a resounding yes.
Will this have implications for the next supervisors race?
Probably. Especially in North Countys District Five with its
large Filipino and Hispanic population (In Daly City, whites
make up only 25.9 percent of the population while Filipinos
make up 35 percent and Latinos 22 percent). Two Caucasian
candidates, Warren Slocum and Shelly Masur, were the choic-
es in the November election for District Four. When Slocum,
the victor, retires, it wouldnt be a surprise if Alicia Aguirre,
the rst Redwood City Latina mayor, made a successful run,
especially if Masur doesnt try again. Just as the national elec-
torate and the countys school population is already less white,
expect more color in local elected ofces in the future.
County voters turned down a measure to make the controller
an appointed ofce. Very disappointing because these admin-
istrative positions should be appointed and not elected. Its a
challenge for the electorate to know who would make a good
controller and even more difcult to monitor performance.
The current controller, Bob Adler, was appointed by the super-
visors to replace Tom Huening, when Huening retired mid-
term. Adler is a professional, not a politician. The county is
fortunate to have him. Huening would not have left his post
unless he knew his assistant could easily take over the job.
Now some well-known politician could run for the job with a
well-nanced campaign when the position opens in 2014.
Adler has already shown he has the stuff to do an outstanding
job but he may not want an election ght. It would be a shame
if he couldnt continue serving.
People dont like to surrender a chance to vote. We com-
plain about the propositions and yet when given a chance, we
dont want to change the initiative process. The Charter
Review Committee recommended that the controllers job be
appointed. The supervisors agreed. Its too bad the electorate
didnt follow suit.

Congratulations to our new state Assemblyman Kevin
Mullin and new state Sen. Jerry Hill. They both work hard, are
Sacramento savvy and will probably play a major role in the
Legislature.

One of the most rewarding results in November was that
Big Money and independent expenditures could not buy an
election. According to the New York Times, millionaires and
billionaires gave nearly $500 million to independent groups to
defeat President Obama. The biggest conservative group,
American Crossroads, the Super PAC founded by Karl Rove,
spent $104 million in the general election but none of its can-
didates won. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce spent $24 mil-
lion in 15 Senate races. Only two won. Sheldon Adelson, the
casino king, spent $53 million on nine candidates. Eight lost.
And lets not forget the amount of outside money from
Arizona which was spent to defeat Proposition 30 and pass
Proposition 32 in California. As Abe Lincoln said, you cant
fool all of the people all of the time.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Its entirely possi-
ble that lawmakers and the White House
will reach a deal that staves off an ava-
lanche of tax increases and deep cuts in
government programs before a Jan. 1
deadline. To do so, however, theyll have
to resolve deep political and scal dis-
agreements that have stymied them time
after time despite repeated promises to
overcome them.
For many economists, corporate lead-
ers and politicians, its unconscionable
to let the government veer over the s-
cal cliff, which could drain $500 billion
from the still-struggling economy next
year. But even President Barack Obama
says it could happen.
Obviously we can all imagine a sce-
nario where we go off the scal cliff,
the president said last week. The likeliest
cause, he suggested, would be too
much stubbornness in Congress, espe-
cially on the issue of taxes.
Many Republicans in Congress count-
er that its Obama who is too unyielding.
Obama campaigned on a pledge to end
the George W. Bush-era tax cuts for
households making more than $250,000
a year. Republican leaders say the lower
rates from 2001 and 2003 should remain
in place for everyone, including the rich.
Both sides have dug in so deeply that
it will be politically painful to back
down. Republicans say tax increases on
the rich would inhibit job growth.
Democrats dispute that, and say its only
fair for the wealthiest to provide more
revenue in this era of historically low tax
burdens and a growing income disparity
between the rich and the poor.
Most Republican lawmakers have
signed a pledge not to allow tax rates to
rise, even if they are scheduled to do so
by law, as are the Bush-era cuts. Some
Democrats say it may be necessary to let
the Dec. 31 deadline expire and have
everyones tax rates revert to the higher,
pre-Bush levels. Then, the argument
goes, Republicans could vote to bring
the rates back down for most Americans,
but not the richest, without breaking
their pledge.
The tax rate issue is especially thorny
because it doesnt lend itself to
Washingtons favorite tactics for post-
poning hard decisions. Lawmakers rou-
tinely resort to continuing resolutions
to end budget impasses by keeping
spending levels unchanged for yet anoth-
er year. Politically, no one wins or loses.
Obamas campaign promise to raise
tax rates on the wealthy precludes that.
Either rates on the rich will rise and
Republicans will absorb defeat on a
huge priority, or the rates will remain
unchanged, a political defeat for Obama.
Both parties have talked, vaguely, of
raising revenues by limiting the itemized
tax deductions claimed by about one-
third of the nations taxpayers. Among
the most popular deductions are those
for charitable donations, health care
costs and mortgage interest payments.
Each is represented by muscular lobby-
ing groups that will ght to protect the
millions or billions of dollars these tax
breaks steer their way.
An array of ideas has been oated.
They include capping a taxpayers total
deductions at $35,000 or $50,000, and
limiting the value of deductions to 28
percent, instead of the current 35 percent
for high earners. The coalition of univer-
sities and other institutions that rely on
tax-exempt donations is so inuential
that some strategists say charitable gifts
should be left untouched. The housing
industry says the same about home mort-
gage interest.
Once you put something on the table,
there is enormous pushback all around,
said Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt. He says going
over the scal cliff, at least temporarily,
may be the only way to force Republicans
to accept tax increases and to embolden
lawmakers to make painful choices.
Fiscal cliff negotiators
are facing high hurdles

DETROIT Twinkie lovers, relax.
The cream-lled golden spongecakes
are likely to survive, even though their
maker will be sold in bankruptcy court.
Hostess Brands Inc., baker of Wonder
Bread as well as Twinkies, Ding Dongs
and Ho Hos, will be in a New York
bankruptcy courtroom Monday to start
the process of selling itself.
The company, weighed down by debt,
management turmoil, rising labor costs
and the changing tastes of America,
decided on Friday that it no longer could
make it through a conventional Chapter
11 bankruptcy restructuring. Instead, its
asking the court for permission to sell
assets and go out of business.
But with high brand recognition and
$2.5 billion in revenue per year, other
companies are interested in bidding for
at least pieces of Hostess. Twinkies
alone have brought in $68 million in rev-
enue so far this year, which would look
good to another snack-maker.
Theres a huge amount of goodwill
with the commercial brand name, said
John Pottow, a University of Michigan
professor who specializes in bankruptcy.

Cisco Systems to buy Meraki for $1.2 billion
NEW YORK Cisco Systems Inc., the worlds largest
maker of computer networking gear, is buying Meraki for $1.2
billion to expand its ability to let customers compute in the
cloud.
Cloud computing refers to the increasingly popular practice
of storing software applications in remote data centers that are
accessed over the Internet instead of installing programs on
individual machines.
Meraki Inc. is based in San Francisco and also has ofces in
New York, London and Mexico. The privately held company
was founded in 2006 by members of MITs Laboratory for
Computer Science. Meraki technology offers customers Wi-Fi,
switching, security and mobile device management centrally
managed from the cloud.
Cisco, based in San Jose, said the acquisition is expected to
close in its second scal quarter ending in January.
Son of Madoffs accountant kills himself in Ohio
The son of Bernard Madoffs longtime accountant, who him-
self pleaded guilty to securities fraud in the scandal centered on
the disgraced nancier, has committed suicide in central Ohio,
authorities said.
Jeremy Friehling, 23, was found dead at his apartment of a
self-inicted gunshot wound Thursday in Columbus, where he
was a second-year student at Ohio States medical school,
police there said.
Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage recently
announced its plans to merge its San Mateo-El Camino branch
into its Burlingame North ofce, a move that expands the com-
pany's presence in the Burlingame real estate market.
The merger of the two branches, which will take effect today,
will create a marketing center with more than 100 Coldwell
Banker Residential Brokerage sales associates. Pete Aiello, the
current San Mateo-El Camino manager, will oversee the new
combined Burlingame North ofce at 1412 Chapin Ave.

There are some with three-peats.
Even some with four-peats.
But the list of girls water polo
teams in the Central Coast Section
with a ve-peat and now a six-peat
is one school deep: Sacred Heart
Prep.
Admittedly, the road for the
Gators in 2012 wasnt one lined
with nesse water polo but at the
end of the latest CCS Division II
championship, SHP was once again
the last team standing following a 7-
5 win over No. 2 St. Ignatius of San
Francisco.
For this group of girls, particu-
larly our seniors, to win this is real-
ly special and unique, said SHP
head coach Jon Burke. We arent a
team that is loaded with superstar
athletes. Were a team that is much
more blue collar. Were a team that
likes to get into the trenches, dig
stuff out. It may not always be pret-
ty, but we try to nd a way to get it
done and today was kind of charac-
teristic of our team. We had to dig
really deep. S.I. is playing great and
we knew this would be probably the
toughest championship weve ever
played.
It was the closest nal since 2008
for the Gators thanks in large part to
the play of S.I.s Carla Tocchini and
Francesca Puccinelli. But a clutch
cross-pool goal by PJ Bigley in the
fourth quarter and a masterful game
in the cage by Kelly Moran made
the difference. The Gators sixth
CCS trophy ties them with Menlo
School for second most all-time.
They didnt want to rely on pre-
vious classes, Burke said of the
2012 team. They wanted to create
their own experience and were real-
ly focused. They got the job done in
so many different ways just out-
standing work ethic, commitment,
unselfishness and that showed
today. And despite S.I. really play-
ing hard and pushing us, those were
the three things that really helped us

CSM dominates
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The College of San Mateo fully
expected this years Bothman
Bulldog Bowl to be its Northern
California championship game.
Instead, after losing four games by
a combined 15 points, the eighth
annual Bulldog Bowl was just
another postseason game to reward a
team that had a good - but not great
season.
It would have been easy for CSM
to simply mail it in, but thats not the
Bulldogs style. There was a game to
play Saturday and darn it, if they
werent going to go out with guns
blazing.
Sierra College really didnt stand
a chance. CSM beat up the
Wolverines in every aspect of the
game offense, defense and spe-
cial teams as the Bulldogs rolled
to a 49-20 win, in a game that was-
nt nearly as close as the nal score
indicated.
I thought we played well, said
CSM head coach Bret Pollack. We
came out and jumped them in the
rst quarter.
CSM scored 21 points in the rst
quarter as it amassed 438 yards of
offense. The Bulldogs defense held
Sierra to just 298 yards of offense,

Ask any player on the newly-crowned
Central Coast Section Division IV Sacred
Heart Prep girls volleyball team:
Championship success is sweet. Sweet like a
cupcake.
Its like no other feeling in the world, said
SHP setter Cammie Merten as she stood cel-
ebrating her teams four-set win over No. 1
Harbor High School of Santa Cruz holding a
half-eaten piece of chocolatey heaven. Its
like eating as many cupcakes as you want and
never getting sick.
One thing is for sure, the Gators will prob-
ably never get sick of winning CCS titles.
Following its 25-17, 25-23, 21-25, 25-23 win
Saturday night at Independence High School
in San Jose, Sacred Heart Prep is now the
proud owner of a bakers dozen CCS tro-
phies.
Its great, said SHP head coach Damien
Hardy. We have eight seniors and Im just
for happy for them. We switched our lineup
up a little from when they (Harbor) saw us on
Wednesday so that might have had something
to do with [the win]. We were playing with a
lot of energy, a lot of condence.
The four-set win wasnt without its antsy
moments for the Gators though. SHP turned a
match from a sure-re win into more of a
sweaty-palm affair.
Sacred Heart jumped out to a two-set lead
by out-playing the No. 1 seeded Pirates.
Harbor led 11-8 in the rst game behind the
play of Molly Tobin and Kelsey Shaver its
pair of ne, senior outside hitters. But the
Gators seized control with a 5-0 run that
turned the set into a 13-11 affair. Harbor
sandwiched a point in between a larger 9-1 by
the Gators. From there, Merten, Payton Smith
and Jillian Geary put the set in cruise control
for SHP.
The Gators were gritty in Game 2. They did
not have a run longer than three points, but
their consistency carried them to a 25-23 win.
Ellie Shannon had a pair of crucial kills in the
set.
With all the momentum against them,
Harbor put together a season-saving third set
that can only be described as remarkable. The
Gators jumped all over the Pirates, to the tune
of 8-1 and 11-3 leads.
Harbor dominated the rest of the game
though when Tobin and Shaver caught re.
The Pirates grabbed the momentum with a
25-21 win.
We were nervous, of course, Hardy said.
We expected them to come back and give us

Dominant. In a word, the Sacred Heart Prep boys water polo run
through the 2012 version of the Central Coast Section Division II
tournament was just dominant.
Three opponents, three lopsided victories that when put together
equal the Gators sixth CCS title all coming in the last 10 sea-
sons.
No never. This day never gets old, said SHP head coach Brian
Kreutzkamp following his teams 19-7 dismantling of Los Altos
High School. This is just a remarkable experience for the seniors.
Im just happy with the way they played today and left their mark
on the season. Theyve had an amazing season. Arguably the best

a challenge. For sure we were a little worried
there. We ended that set too complacent. We
emphasized in the fourth set to come out
strong, come out on re.
I think we got down a little bit at the end of
the third match and then we made sure we
came out with a lot more energy in the begin-
ning of fourth, Merten said. We knew weird
things were going to happen, balls were going
to fall on our side, but we could come back
from them and get the next point.
SHP did just that. They rode out to a 7-1
lead to start the fourth game behind a couple
of Shannon kills.
But Harbor did not go unbeaten in league
play by accident. The Pirates charged right
back and took a 12-11 lead. It was then that
the SHP defense ultimately won the CCS title.
Oh my gosh, defense thats what won
our game, said SHP libero Helen Gannon
who played remarkably, amassing 30 digs in
the match. After we beat Menlo in the semi-
nals, thats all weve been working on. We
knew that defense was going to win this game
for us. Our offense comes naturally for us, so
it came down to the defense today.
I think we won it on defense, Hardy said.
Denitely. No doubt. Were going to have
offense, regardless. The way we strategized
against them defensively won us the game.
Victoria Garrick was huge during the win-
ning stretch for SHP. She led all Gators with
15 kills, a couple midday through the fourth
game pushed SHP ahead 15-12.
Harbor would not go away though. The
Pirates re-took the lead at 18-17.
Nerves played a bit part in it, Merten said.
But the thing is not letting it get to your head.
I think we did a good job when they got their
run and we eventually said, no, its not going
to happen anymore and we got it.
The SHP defense was huge. Sonia Abuel-
Saud had 12 kills in the game, but her 18 digs
were even bigger. Smith added 14 kills as well,
but her eight blocks were just as important.
Down 20-19, SHP reeled off four of the next ve
points to take a 23-21 lead and rode that advan-
tage to the CCS win. The Gators 13th CCS title
win was their 30th W of the 2012 season.
MENLO-ATHERTON WINS FIRST TITLE
After three seasons as the ultimate brides-
maids, the Menlo-Atherton girls volleyball
team nally got its day in the sun.
The Bears captured their rst ever Central
Coast Section volleyball championship with a
three-set sweep of Homestead High School
Saturday night at Independence High School
in San Jose, 25-22, 25-22, 25-20.
M-A had lost the last three straight Division
I championship matches.
The win marks the rst for the Bears in
CCS and the rst under rst-year head coach
Ron Whitmill who took over for Jennifer
Wilson following three seasons where M-A
went 74-25 including 37-5 in Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division play. M-A won

overcome it at the end of the day.
The Wildcats stood toe to toe with SHP was
three periods. They took a 1-0 lead on the rst
of three Tocchini goals. Caitlin Stuewes rst
two scores of the game pushed the Gators
ahead early in the second quarter and Morgan
McCrackens goal with 2:23 left in the second
period made it 3-1.
But Tocchini nudged her team forward with
a pretty oater moments later to make it 3-2.
It took a clutch goal with the half winding
down by Stuewe to regive the Gators a two-
score advantage heading into half time and
thats because, as expected, Puccinelli was
having herself a whale of a game at goalie for
the Wildcats.
I thought in terms of their team, she was
going to be one of those wild cards, Burke
said. If she played well, which she did, it
was going to be really difcult for us to score.
They covered our counter well and even on a
couple of counter attack opportunities we did
have, she made some key saves. She really
kept them in the game.
Four goals were scored in the third period,
three by Wildcats. A great move by
McCracken to get inside her defender set up
SHPs lone score in the period as S.I. closed
the seven-minute frame with goals by
Caoimhe Slevin, Tocchini and Catherine
Summa to even things up at ve.
Enter Moran. After a relative quiet three
quarters, the junior goalie was instrumental in
the fourth period. Of her 10 saves, seven came
in the games nal seven minutes.
We knew it was going to be a really tough
game, Moran said. The rst three quarters,
I had to say I was a little off my game. And in
the fourth quarter, I just thought I need to get
back in this. The whole team was pumped.
Without my defense, I would not have had the
game I did.
After a scoreless three minutes, Bigleys
buzzer-beating shot from the left side of the
pool rung off Puccinellis far post and into the
cage to give SHP a 6-5 lead with 3:59 left in
the game.
That was really sweet, Burke said. That
was the biggest goal of game. It was huge. Up
until that point, we had trouble scoring all
game but that goal gave us the momentum we
needed to really persevere the last few min-
utes and focus on playing really good
defense. We got good match ups defensively
and were able to hold on.
Moran stayed big in the cage, stopping
another ve Wildcat shots before Kate Bocci
sealed the six-peat for the Gators.
What fueled our team during the season
was we wanted to get better, Moran said.
Thats the main thing. We dont really look
into the six years champions until the last
week. We knew this would be a hard year but
we pushed as hard as we could.

TITLE
322. Sierra had just 157 yards after three quarters,
before it nally moved the ball about the
Bulldogs second- and third-string defense. On
special teams, place kicker Austin Pacheco was a
perfect 7 for 7 on extra points and averaged 39
yards on six punts, with a long of 48. The kick
coverage unit held Sierra to just 79 yards while
Damien Ross blocked a third-quarter punt for the
Bulldogs as well.
Even Pollack noticed how in sync his team
was.
There was a point where I said, Were click-
ing on all of this, Pollack said.
CSM (7-4 overall) picked off a pass on the sec-
ond play of the game and then preceded to score
on three of four rst-quarter possessions.
Following Nate Jacksons interception on a play
that is one of their favorite routes and we took it
away early, said CSM defensive coordinator Tim
Tulloch, the Bulldogs wasted little time in taking
advantage, going 27 yards on two plays. Jerrel
Brown ripped off a 14-yard run on rst down and
starting quarterback Blake Plattsmier did the rest,
going 13 yards for the score on a quarterback
keeper for a 7-0 just over a minute into the game.
From there, it was George Naufahus time to
shine. The grey shirt freshman out of San Mateo
High had a record-breaking bowl game. Although
he carried the ball just six times, he rushed for 135
yards and three touchdowns, which tied a
Bulldog Bowl record. On his rst carry of the
game, he ripped off a 72-yard touchdown run, set-
ting a record for longest touchdown run in the
bowl games history and giving CSM a 14-0 lead.
On his fourth carry, he torched the Wolverines for
a 30-yard touchdown run, using a devastating stiff
arm that oored the defender at the 15 and
allowed him to get into the end zone for a 21-0
Bulldogs advantage.
He later added a 4-yard scoring run late in the
second quarter to put CSM up 35-7 at halftime.
It was fun. I just play to have fun, Naufahu
said. It was easy. The (offensive) linemen
opened up the holes and I just had to nish.
The Bulldogs dominated on the ground, rush-
ing for 326 yards on 43 carries. Plattsmier added
64 yards and Brown had 62 yards. They rushed
for 172 yards in the rst quarter alone and had
247 yards on the ground at halftime.
The rst half was great, Pollack said. We
were running the ball well. Early on, they had a
hard time taking away the running back and we
exploited that.
With a 28-point lead to start the third quarter
and the defense locking down Sierra, Pollack can
understand the offense being a little less effective
in the second half. The offense did convert two
turnovers into 14 points - one touchdown in both
the third and fourth quarters - to round out the
scoring for the Bulldogs.
The way the CSM defense was playing, how-
ever, the offense did not have to do a whole lot.
Linebackers Eric Tuipoulotu, out of Serra, and
Tevita Lataimua, from Mills, were tacking
machines Saturday, combining for 15 tackles.
Tuipulotus nine tackles earned him Defensive
Player of the Game honors.
Overall, we did pretty good. We played
Bulldog football, Tuipulotu said. Were unde-
feated in this bowl and we wanted to be get to 7-
0.
The Bulldogs defense hounded Sierra quarter-
back Myles McKee all game long, taking him out
of his comfort zone. Sierra (5-6) came into the
game averaging 241 passing yards per game.
Saturday, the Wolverines barely eclipsed the 200-
yard mark.
He got hit a little bit early and that made him
speed up his clock in terms of getting rid of the
ball, Tulloch said.
The Bulldogs are did an admirable job of con-
taining the Wolverines wideouts, Frankie Gomes
and Vince Mayle. Gomes nished with seven
catches for 105 yards, but Mayle managed only
ve catches for 52 yards.
The secondary did a good job of trying to slow
down [Mayle] and [Gomes] and make sure those
guys did not get off, Tulloch said. [Mayle] is a
legit BCS receiver. That kid is going to play on
TV.
While the Bulldogs did not live up to the expec-
tations they set for themselves at the beginning of
the year - which was to play for a state champi-
onship - they did prove to themselves they were a
good enough squad to make a run at such lofty
goals.
Very rarely do you see a bowl game lopsided
like this, Tulloch said. It was nice to see us play
well in all three phases. It was great to see a great
team victory.

Going into the finals of the
Central Coast Section Division I
boys water polo tournament, the
Menlo-Atherton Bears were well
aware of the history and odds
stacked against them.
If you had to put a number on it, there
was no better place to look than the his-
tory books. Treading in the water across
from them was Bellarmine College Prep
the West Catholic Athletic League
juggernaut 22-times their better in terms
of CCS water polo championships.
I think thats one thing this team
doesnt lack at all, said Menlo-
Athertons Harrison Holland-McCowan
said of his teams heart. No one thought
we could do it, no one thought we could
make it to the nals and this year we just
had a lot of heart. I love it. And I think
thats going to stay with us.
M-A did not play like a team intimi-
dated by the Bells extensive trophy
case. Instead, the Bears battled in a clas-
sic water polo nal that saw them fall
short of the ultimate goal 9-8 at the Santa
Clara Swim Center Saturday afternoon.
I expected a higher scoring game,
so a low-scoring game kind of hurts us
a little bit, said M-A head coach
Dante Dettamanti. Bellarmine did a
really good job of playing zone against
us and we are not a zone-shooting
team. Were more movement, driving
towards the goal and we did that in the
rst half we were driving and the
game was really going great for us.
And then in the second half, I think the
guys got a little tired and we stopped
driving, we stopped moving and that
played right into their hands.
It was a fantastic season, Holland-
McCowan said. I love these guys to
death and at the end we just came up a
little bit short. We had the opportuni-
ties and one call shifted everything at
the end but Im just really proud of
these guys no matter what.
The Bells and Bears were tied late
into the game and it took a Rico Burke
breakaway goal with 1:36 left on the
clock to push Bellarmine ahead. The
Bears had their opportunities late. But a
man-advantage situation netted them
nothing and with 17 seconds left, their
nal shot on goal was saved to give
Bellarmine its 24th water polo title.
Weve come back in seven or eight
games this year, Dettamanti said. We
had an extra-man opportunity to tie the
game and once again, we shot the ball
into someones arm. That just killed us.
We gave ourselves a chance to win. I
told them before the game, you guys
have come back all year. I dont know
what our situation is going to be in this
game if were going to have to
come back or not but Ive seen you
guys do it. They have grit. They just
have this ability to come back.
The Bears fought back on a couple
of occasions Saturday afternoon. They
were down 3-2 to end the rst quarter
and 4-2 less than 30 seconds into the
second. Morgan Olson-Fabbro led the
charge back to an eventual 6-6 tie. The
newly-crowned Peninsula Athletic
League Most Valuable Player scored
three goals in the second period.
Morgan did an awesome job,
Dettamanti said. He just had a great
overall game. Anyway you can score
counter attack, two meters, whole-
man, outside shooting he did it.
But Bellarmine swung things in its
favor during the third period. M-A
was held scoreless while the Bells
scored twice to take an 8-6 lead into
the nal quarter.
I think they just converted on
their shots and we didnt, Holland-
McCowan said. We had the oppor-
tunities, we had the shots in front of
the cage, we just didnt put them
away. They put them away and just
got the momentum back.
M-A did not go away though. A
straight silly backhand no-look goal
by Olson-Fabbro cut the two-goal
lead in half with 4:22 left in the
game. And then, Olson-Fabbros
fth goal, a ve-meter conversion,
tied things up 8-8 with 3:30 left.
A tense nal half of the quarter
went back and forth, but an offen-
sive foul against M-A was seized
quickly by the Bells and that turned
into Burkes game-winning goal.
The Bears got a pair of goals from
Zachary Deal and Zach Zogan also
found the back of the cage.
M-A goalie Peter Berquist had 11
saves.
Menlo-Atherton last won a CCS
water polo title in 2007. Theyve
been the CCS runner-up once
before back in 2008.

season Sacred Heart has ever had. But it
was all about nishing. None of it would
have meant anything unless we nished.
I think they sent a message that they
were the team to beat this year.
Our coach came up with a great
game plan and strategy, said SHP
goalie and reigning Daily Journal Boys
Water Polo Player of the Year Will
Runkel. We had a great season and we
knew we just had to nish out today. I
think everyone played well. We had
goals from all six of the seniors Im
the only [senior] that didnt (score), but
I think thats self-explanatory.
Actually, 10 different Gators found
the back of cage in Saturdays Division
II nal. And that comes on the heels of a
15-3 win over Soquel High School in the
seminals where 11 different Gators
scored, and an 18-0 win in the quarter-
nals against Burlingame High School
were 12 SHP players got on the score-
sheet.
The closest Los Altos got to SHP was
3-1 after a goal with a little more than
two minutes left in the rst quarter.
From that moment on, it was an all-out
assault by a seemingly unstoppable
Gators offense.
Our plan was to sub a lot of kids and
really wear them down, Kreutzkamp
said. In the rst quarter, I subbed a lot
hoping that we could have a second
quarter explosion just with speed. That
really worked out.
Did it ever. Los Altos scored two goals
in the frame, but book-ending those
were SHP goals by Michael Holloway,
Zach Churukian (2), Will Conner,
Nelson Perla-Ward and Harrison Enright
(2) eight in all.
We have two really good 2-meter
men, Kreutzkamp said. I think oppos-
ing teams really need to pick their poi-
son of how theyre going to attack us.
We want to swim rst and if that doesnt
work, work the ball through our two big
men.
But what really made SHPs steamroll
through the 2012 CCS playoffs special
was their defense. Los Altos got on the
board seven times, but three of those
came in the fourth period of a game that
was at 16-4 following eight more SHP
scores.
Weve been having great defense this
entire CCS tournament, said Runkel,
who had 10 saves in the game. Our
defense is specialized to where they
know what they have to take away, they
know who they have to get on, who the
other teams shooters are and it really
narrows it down so by the time the ball
gets to me its focused in an area where
I know it has to go so its really helpful.
Clamp down defense, Kreutzkamp
said. They know Will is there if we ever
make a mistake, hes covering for us.
And once they got some condence,
they starting taking off on the counter
attack. The smothering defense we
played in these playoffs is the best weve
played all year. You can make a lot mis-
takes when you have goalie like Will in
the cage, but besides that, our defenders
were there.
Enright led the way with three goals.
Churukian also had a hat trick along
with Bret Hinrichs and Perla-Ward.
Conner had a pair of goals. Alex Swart,
Michael Swart, Holloway, Zoltan
Lozar and Scott Jollymour each scored
once.
Runkel did not play the last four min-
utes of the championship match. In his
place, Phillippe Marco had three saves.

NEW YORK Surprise!
Surprise!
Two straight weekends of seismic
upsets not only sent tremors
throughout college football from the
Deep South to the Pacific
Northwest, theyve all but cleared
the way for two marquee teams and
best-known brands to play for the
national title.
Notre Dame was No. 1 in the
Associated Press college football
poll released Sunday and Alabama
was No. 2 after a pair of stunning
Saturday night upsets rearranged
the rankings. When the BCS stand-
ings came out later Sunday, they
lined up the same way.
Notre Dame needs only to beat
struggling rival Southern California
(7-4), with its star quarterback
injured, to secure a spot in the BCS
title game for the rst time. In the
76-year history of the AP poll,
Notre Dame has been crowned
national champion by the media
panel eight times, the last in 1988.
Its like being selected for the
playoffs, Notre Dame coach Brian
Kelly said. Now you know youre
in if you take care of business.
The only other school with as
many AP championships is
Alabama. The Crimson Tide poten-
tially has two more games left. The
Tide is at home Saturday against
rival Auburn (3-8) and, if it beats the
Tigers, advances to the
Southeastern Conference champi-
onship game against No. 3 Georgia
on Dec. 1.
Win that one, too, and it will be
Notre Dame and Alabama playing
in Miami on Jan. 7 for the champi-
onship.
Sounds simple enough. But when
it comes to college football, the last
two weeks of the season have been
a consistent reminder that its best
to expect the unexpected.
Oregon and Kansas State were in
the front row of the BCS race as of
Saturday. All the Ducks and
Wildcats had to do was win the rest
of their games and they would have
played for the BCS crown. No easy
task for sure, but considering they
had been walloping opponents, win-
ning their rst 10 games by an aver-
age of more than three touchdowns
per game, it looked like a solid bet
that theyd close the deal.
A week earlier, the same was said
about Alabama before it was
upset at home by Texas A&M, a
loss that cleared the way for Oregon
to be No. 1 for the rst time this sea-
son.
Saturdays first shocker came
when then-No. 2 Kansas State lost
at Baylor after barely putting up a
ght.
The Bears (5-5) ran out to a 28-7
lead behind Nick Florence, the
quarterback who replaced last
years Heisman trophy winner
Robert Grifn III, and won 52-24.
Not only did the Wildcats lose all
hopes of playing for a national
championship, its much-heralded
quarterback, Collin Klein, lost his
front-runner status in this years
Heisman chase.
This was all wonderful news for
Notre Dame, which was sitting at
No. 3, had shut out Wake Forest ear-
lier in the day, and needed only
Oregon or Kansas State to lose to
have a chance for the national title.
One down, one to go.
While Kansas State was lament-
ing its lost opportunity in Waco,
Texas, over in Eugene, Ore.,
Stanford was pushing around the
top-ranked Ducks as no opponent
had this season. The Cardinal (9-2)
tied up the score with 1:35 remain-
ing in regulation on a touchdown
pass that many Ducks fans likely
will be seething over for years.
Tight end Zach Ertz caught Kevin
Hogans pass, juggled it on the way
down, landed on an Oregon defend-
er, and rolled out of bounds.
Incomplete was the ruling on the
eld. After video review, the call
was overturned. TD Stanford, 14-
all.
In overtime, Oregon missed a
eld goal try, Stanford made one,
and the upset was complete:
Stanford 17, Oregon 14.
Notre Dame No. 1, Alabama No. 2 in AP Top 25
No. 19 Gonzaga too much for South Dakota 96-58
SPOKANE, Wash. Elias Harris scored 16 points and
grabbed a career-high 18 rebounds and No. 19 Gonzaga topped
South Dakota 96-58 Sunday. Przemek Karnowski, a 7-foot-1
freshman from Poland, led the Bulldogs with 20 points off the
bench for the Bulldogs (3-0).

OAKLAND After fighting
their way back from an 0-4 start to a
.500 record, the New Orleans Saints
now face a tough task if they want to
make it back to the playoffs.
Drew Brees threw three touch-
down passes and Malcolm Jenkins
returned an interception for another
score to get the Saints back to even
with a 38-17 victory over the
Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
Lance Moore caught two touch-
down passes and Mark Ingram ran
for a score as the Saints (5-5) won
for the fth time in six games and
are in position to make a late-season
playoff run despite the season-long
distraction from the bounty scandal.
Getting back to even was just the
rst step. New Orleans next three
games come against teams currently
in rst place, starting with a home
game next week against the Bay
Areas other team, the San
Francisco 49ers, followed by games
against Atlanta and the New York
Giants.
The Raiders (3-7) lost their third
straight game under rst-year coach
Dennis Allen as their banged-up
defense got picked apart by Brees
precision passing. Oakland has
allowed 135 points in those defeats
the most in a three-game span for
the franchise since allowing 141 in
the rst three games in 1961.
Carson Palmer threw one inter-
ception that was returned for a score
and another in the end zone, the
Raiders left receivers open all day
and Oakland struggled to tackle in
another thorough beating. The
Raiders have been outscored by 56
points the past two games.
The Saints did just about every-
thing starting with an efcient open-
ing drive by Brees that set the tone
for the game. Brees nished 20 for
27 for 219 yards, extending his own
records by throwing a touchdown in
his 53rd straight game and complet-
ing 20 passes for the 46th straight
game.
He did it against one of his
favorite opponents. Brees has won
his last seven starts against the
Raiders with 16 touchdowns and no
interceptions in those wins.
Even New Orleans much-
maligned defense got into the act.
The Saints got the two big turnovers
in the rst half that got the blowout
started and held Oakland to one
touchdown until garbage time.
About the only bright spot for the
Raiders was fullback Marcel Reece,
who rushed for 103 yards and added
90 yards receiving as he started at
halfback in place of injured Darren
McFadden and Mike Goodson.
Brees broke open a close game
late in the rst half when he found
Moore all alone in the end zone
behind Michael Huff and fill-in
safety Mike Mitchell for a 38-yard
touchdown pass in the nal minute
of the rst half to make it 21-7.
Travaris Cadet then returned the
second-half kickoff 75 yards and
Ingram ran it in from the 27 on the
next play and the rout was on. Brees
and Moore connected one more
time in third quarter to make it 35-
10.
The Saints easily scored on their
rst possession as Brees completed
ve of six passes on an 80-yard
drive capped by a 1-yard toss to
Jimmy Graham.
Palmer then threw a pair of inter-
ceptions on passes to Brandon
Myers with Malcolm Jenkins
returning the rst 55 yards for a
touchdown and Roman Harper pick-
ing the second one off in the end
zone after it went through Myers
hands.
Raiders pummeled by Saints
No. 14 Stanford upsets
No. 1 Oregon 17-14 in OT
EUGENE, Ore. As Stanfords
game-winning field goal tumbled
through the goal posts, Oregon run-
ning back Kenjon Barner fell to his
knees in dejection.
With a clear path to the BCS
championship game, the speedy
Ducks slipped up.
A 17-14 loss in overtime to the
No. 14 Stanford denied top-ranked
Oregon a chance to clinch the Pac-
12 Norths spot in the conference
championship game. And it put a bid
for a national championship nearly
out of reach.
I told those guys that its tough,
things arent always going to go
your way. Thats life. Thats foot-
ball coach Chip Kelly said after the
game. I dont fault them for their
effort. It hurts so bad because they
invested so much as a group.
Stanford players rushed the eld
after Jordan Williamsons 37-yard
eld goal in overtime to win it.
Sports brief
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON Andre Johnson caught a
screen pass from Matt Schaub and ran 48 yards
for the winning touchdown in overtime as the
Houston Texans rallied to beat Jacksonville 43-
37 on Sunday.
Schaub threw a career-high ve touchdown
passes, completed a franchise-record 43 passes
and nished with 527 yards passing, second
most in NFL history. Warren Moon also threw
for 527 yards for the Houston Oilers in
December 1990 against Kansas City.
Norm Van Brocklin holds the record with 554
for the Rams in 1951.
Johnson caught 14 passes for 273 yards, both
career highs. The Texans (9-1) won an overtime
game for the rst time at Reliant Stadium.
Chad Henne threw a career-high four touch-
down passes in relief of injured Blaine Gabbert
for the Jaguars (1-9). Rookie Justin Blackmon
had 236 yards receiving.
FALCONS 23, CARDINALS 19
ATLANTA Matt Ryan overcame a
career-worst ve interceptions, guiding Atlanta
to its only offensive touchdown in the fourth
quarter in a sloppy win.
The Falcons (9-1) turned it over a total of six
times, but Michael Turner scored on a 1-yard
run with 6:40 remaining to give Atlanta its rst
lead of the game. Ryan set up the score with
four completions for 64 yards, including a 9-
yarder to Tony Gonzalez on third-and-5 at the
Arizona 10.
Coming off a bye, Arizona (4-6) lost its sixth
straight game. The Cardinals tried to bolster
their anemic offense by switching quarterbacks,
replacing John Skelton with rookie Ryan
Lindley, but Larry Fitzgerald couldnt hang on
to a fourth-down pass after Ryans fth pick.
PACKERS 24, LIONS 20
DETROIT Aaron Rodgers threw two
touchdown passes, including a 22-yarder to
Randall Cobb with 1:55 left to lift Green Bay.
Mason Crosby made a 39-yard eld goal
with 19 seconds to go after missing two eld
goals earlier in the game.
Matthew Stafford couldnt put the Lions
ahead on either of their last two drives in a
game hed like to forget.
Stafford threw two interceptions one of
which was returned 72 yards by Green Bay
safety M.D. Jennings for a go-ahead score in
the third quarter and lost a fumble.
Green Bay (7-3) has won ve straight and
Detroit (4-6) has dropped two in a row.
COWBOYS 23, BROWNS 20 OT
ARLINGTON, Texas Dan Bailey kicked
a 38-yard eld goal in overtime and Dallas
overcame a critical fumble by Tony Romo that
sparked a wild ending.
Baileys winning kick with 6:07 remaining in
OT came after both teams punted once in the
rst overtime game at Cowboys Stadium.
Bailey hit a tying 32-yard eld goal with 2 sec-
onds left in regulation.
Dallas (5-5) rallied from a 13-0 halftime
decit and went ahead 17-13 on Romos 28-
yard pass to Dez Bryant.
A fumble by Browns rookie Brandon
Weeden on a sack appeared to put the Cowboys
in control, but Romo gave it right back with a
fumble on another sack.
The Cowboys made one goal-line stand in the
nal minutes, but the Browns got another
chance and went ahead 20-17 on Weedens 17-
yard pass to Benjamin Watson.
BUCCANEERS 27, PANTHERS 21 OT
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Josh Freeman threw
a 15-yard touchdown pass to Dallas Clark in
overtime to cap a comeback.
It was Freemans third touchdown pass of the
game for the Buccaneers (6-4).
Carolina appeared to have the game in hand
after a 29-yard touchdown pass from Cam
Newton to Brandon LaFell put the Panthers (2-
8) up 21-10 with 4:34 left in the game. But after
a 40-yard eld goal by Connor Barth, the
Panthers were forced to punt, and Freeman led
the Bucs 80 yards on seven plays in 50 seconds
with no timeouts.
He nished the drive with a 24-yard touch-
down pass to Vincent Jackson between three
defenders with 12 seconds left. Freeman went
back to Jackson for a 2-point conversion on a
slant route to send the game into overtime.
PATRIOTS 59, COLTS 24
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. The Patriots
used three scoring passes from Tom Brady, two
touchdowns on interception returns and another
on a punt return to match a team single-game
scoring record.
he rst matchup between three-time Super
Bowl winner Brady and star rookie Andrew
Luck was no match.
The Patriots (7-3) won their fourth straight
game and extended their lead in the AFC East
to three games. The Colts (6-4) had their four-
game winning streak stopped by the NFLs best
offense and one of its worst defenses.
This win was the Patriots most complete in a
season in which theyve averaged 35.8 points
per game and lost their three games by a com-
bined margin of four points.
The 59 points equals the team mark set in a
59-0 win over the Tennessee Titans on Oct. 18,
2009.
BRONCOS 30, CHARGERS 23
DENVER Peyton Manning threw for
three touchdowns and Von Miller had three
sacks to take the league lead with 13. Denver
took a three-game lead in the AFC West by
sweeping the Chargers.
Manning threw for 270 yards. He got off to a
slow start, throwing an interception that Eric
Weddle returned for a score and an early 7-0
lead. But the Broncos (7-3) took a 10-7 lead
early in the second quarter and never trailed
again.
Manning won his 148th regular-season game
as a starting quarterback, tying John Elway for
second on the all-time list. Brett Favre has 186.
The Chargers (4-6) lost for the fth time in
six games.
REDSKINS 31, EAGLES 6
LANDOVER, Md. Robert Grifn III
threw four touchdown passes, and Washington
broke a three-game losing streak.
Grifn completed 14 of 15 passes for 200
yards and also ran 11 times for 85 yards. He
threw for scores of 6, 49, 61 and 17 yards
one in each quarter.
Philadelphias Nick Foles was 21 for 46 for
204 yards in his rst NFL start, and his rst two
series ended with interceptions. Foles was start-
ing in place of Michael Vick, who suffered a
concussion in last weeks loss to the Dallas
Cowboys.
The Redskins improved to 4-6. The Eagles
(3-7) have dropped six straight, accelerating the
countdown toward the possible end of Andy
Reids 14-year tenure as coach.
JETS 27, RAMS 13
ST. LOUIS Mark Sanchez directed a
turnover-free offense and Bilal Powell ran for
the rst two touchdowns of his career as the Jets
ended a three-game losing streak.
Chaz Schilens scored on a 25-yard reception
and Nick Folk kicked a pair of 51-yard eld
goals for the Jets (4-6), who were outscored 58-
16 the previous two games. The Jets overcame
a controversial practice week with several
anonymous players quoted in a newspaper
report disparaging the ability of backup quar-
terback Tim Tebow, who had a handful of snaps
but was no factor.
Brandon Gibson caught a pair of short touch-
down passes for the Rams (3-6-1), who com-
mitted three turnovers and are in an 0-4-1
slump. St. Louis defense hasnt forced a
turnover in ve straight games, tying the NFLs
longest such slump since 1950 according to
STATS LLC.
BENGALS 28, CHIEFS 6
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Andy Dalton threw
for 230 yards and accounted for three touch-
downs and A.J. Green caught a touchdown pass
in his ninth straight game.
Green nished with six catches for 91 yards
in another dazzling performance, Mohamed
Sanu had a scoring grab and BenJarvus Green-
Ellis ran for 101 yards and a touchdown as the
Bengals (5-5) won their second straight follow-
ing a four-game losing streak.
Cincinnati now plays its next four games
against teams with losing records.
Jamaal Charles had 87 yards rushing for
Kansas City (1-9), but that was the only high-
light for a team that lost its seventh straight
amid a quiet crowd at Arrowhead Stadium.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. Heres a
tweet for Brad Keselowski:
NASCAR champion.
Roger Penske must like the sound
of that, too.
The kid who stole the show at the
season-opening Daytona 500 ended
the year under the biggest spotlight
of them all Sunday, beating ve-
time champion Jimmie Johnson to
deliver the rst Sprint Cup champi-
onship to Penske Racing.
His first act as champion?
Sending a tweet, of course, from
inside his car: We did it! with a
picture of the celebration waiting
for him.
Always, throughout my whole
life Ive been told Im not big
enough, not fast enough, not strong
enough and I dont have what it
takes, Keselowski said from the
championship stage. Ive used that
as a chip on my shoulder to carry
me through my whole career. It took
until this year for me to realize that
that was right, man, they were right.
Im not big enough, fast enough,
strong enough. No person is. Only a
team can do that.
So, with the Penske organization
behind him, he delivered a trophy
that had eluded The Captain since
his 1972 NASCAR debut. Although
his motorsports organization is con-
sidered the gold standard of open-
wheel racing 15 Indianapolis 500
wins and his empire has made
Penske one of the most successful
businessmen in America, his
NASCAR team has always been
just average.
Then came Keselowski, the blue
collar, Twitter-loving, Michigan
native who visited Penske in 2008
convinced the NASCAR team could
win, too.
Three years later, they hoisted the
Sprint Cup trophy together at
Homestead-Miami Speedway fol-
lowing Keselowskis 15th-place n-
ish Sunday night.
Its all about the people in our
organization and obviously Brad
coming on our board three years
ago, and we set a plan and we stuck
to it, the 75-year-old Penske said.
To win this championship is amaz-
ing.
Keselowski needed 125 starts to
win his first championship, the
fewest starts since four-time cham-
pion Jeff Gordon won his rst title
in 93 starts in 1995. Keselowski
also won a second-tier Nationwide
title in 2010, his rst season with
Penske and the owners rst ofcial
NASCAR championship.
Gordon, who avoided suspension
this week but was ned $100,000 by
NASCAR for intentionally wreck-
ing Clint Bowyer last week at
Phoenix, overcame the controversy
to win the race in a 20th anniversary
celebration for sponsor Dupont and
Hendrick Motorsports.
It was Gordons rst victory at
Homestead, which leaves Kentucky
as the only active NASCAR track
where hes yet to win.
Who did Gordon beat? Bowyer,
of course.
And Bowyers second-place n-
ish moved him to a career-best sec-
ond in the nal standings. Third-
place went to Ryan Newman, who
got his break in NASCAR with
Penske and spent seven seasons
driving for the owner.
He deserves this probably as
much as anybody else, if not more
because of what hes done for motor
racing in general, NASCAR, his
dedication to all forms of race cars
is probably more than anybody else
in the history of auto racing,
Newman said. I know this is prob-
ably one of the sweetest moments in
his racing career.
Keselowski started the race up
20 points on Johnson, who blew a
tire and crashed last week at
Phoenix to give Keselowski a nice
cushion and needing only to finish
15th or higher in the finale to wrap
up his first championship. But the
Penske team took nothing for
granted not after Will Power
crashed in the IndyCar finale to
blow a 17-point lead and lose the
championship.
And this one got tight, too, espe-
cially when Keselowski ran out of
gas on pit road during green ag pit
stops. It put him a lap down with
Johnson leading, and Keselowski
and crew chief Paul Wolfe frantical-
ly tried to gure out how dire the
situation had become.
Wolfe crunched the numbers, g-
uring the No. 2 Dodge would cycle
out in the mid-20s, a lap down from
the leaders.
I know the scenario, and its not
good, Keselowski said.
But minutes later, Johnson went
to pit road for his own stop and
pulled away with a missing lug nut.
NASCAR flagged the Hendrick
Motorsports team and Johnson was
forced back to pit road for another
stop.
The Penske team was unsure if
Keselowski wanted to know what
was going on with Johnson.
Ive got a big picture story if you
want to hear it, a team member
radioed, then informed Keselowski
that Johnson had to pit again.
Ten-four. Thank you for telling
me. Were back in the game. I got
it, he said.
It got worse for Johnson from
there. He broke a rear end gear in
his Chevrolet and went to the
garage with 40 laps to go, essential-
ly clinching the championship for
Keselowski.

Nevada defeats Southern Utah 79-61
RENO, Nev. Malik Story scored 25 points and Deonte
Burton added 14 to lead Nevada to a 79-61 victory against
Southern Utah in a World Vision Classic on Sunday night.
Cole Huff had 11 points and Ali Fall 10 for the Wolf Pack (2-1).
Damon Heuir had 14 points and Julian Scott 13 for the
Thunderbirds (0-3). Jackson Stevenetts two free throws got
Southern Utah within a point, 55-54, with 8:37 remaining. But
Burton made six free throws and Story scored 14 points,
including three 3-point shots, to ignite a 20-4 Nevada run.

WASHINGTON The Houston
Dynamo advanced to their second
straight MLS Cup nal and fourth in
seven years, tying D.C. United 1-1
Sunday for a 4-2 aggregate win in
the Eastern Conference nal.
Boniek Garcia scored in the 33rd
minute for the Dynamo, which will
play at the Los Angeles Galaxy or
Seattle Sounders in the nal on Dec.
1. The Galaxy, who beat Houston 1-
0 in last years nal, held a 3-0 lead
over the Sounders going into Sunday
nights second leg at Seattle in their
home-and-home, total-goals series.
Its a path we have to take, so if
we have to be road warriors the
whole time, then thats whats in
front of us, Houston goalie Tally
Hall said. We have a job to do, it
doesnt matter if its a friendly or
hostile environment.
Branko Boskovic scored in the
83rd minute for D.C., which has not
won the MLS Cup since 2004.
Houston, which won consecutive
MLS Cup titles in 2006 and 2007,
qualied for the 2013-14 CONCA-
CAF Champions League. But the
Dynamo may miss Ricardo Clark for
the MLS nal the midelder rein-
jured a groin and left in the 66th
minute.
After putting 10 men behind the
ball for most of the first half,
Houston went ahead after Brad
Davis picked up a long ball, evaded
Marcelo Saragosa and Dejan Jakovic
in a run to the endline and with his
left foot cut the ball back to Garcia,
who from the top of the 6-yard box
put the ball into the roof of the net.
I just wanted to get the ball back
across to give him a chance and
Boniek nished it, Davis said.
Down three goals in the aggregate,
United coach Ben Olsen inserted
Lewis Neal for Saragosa at the start
of the second half, sent in Hamdi
Salihi for Lionard Pajoy in the 57th
and ve minutes later put in Dwayne
De Rosario for Emiliano Dudar.
De Rosario, the 2011 MLS MVP,
had missed 10 games since injuring
a knee while playing for Canada in a
World Cup qualier on Sept. 11.
United, in the playoffs for the rst
time since 2007, failed to score more
than one goal in any of its last ve
games. D.C. was missing suspended
right back Andy Najar and injured
attacker Chris Pontius.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE Eddie Johnson and
Zach Scott scored to give Seattle a
2-0 lead, but Robbie Keane was
awarded and converted a penalty
kick in the 68th minute on Sunday
night that clinched the Los Angeles
Galaxys 4-2 aggregate victory over
the Sounders in the Western
Conference nals and a spot in the
MLS Cup final for the second
straight year.
Seattle staged a rally trying to
come back from a 3-0 decit after
getting overwhelmed in the rst leg
of the Western Conference nals
last week.
And they were on the verge after
Johnsons early goal and Scotts
header in the 58th minute pulled
Seattle within one on aggregate.
But referee Mark Geiger, who had
been the subject of complaints all
night from both sides, called Seattle
defender Adam Johansson for a
handball in the penalty box and
Keane converted his fth goal of the
playoffs.
Los Angeles will host the nal on
Dec. 1 against Houston, a rematch
of last years final won by the
Galaxy.

s some of you know from reading
this column, we have veterinarians
on staff; our ve vets put us on par
with the countys largest veterinary practices.
Our vets make sick and injured stray domes-
tic animals better, and then work hard to keep
them healthy. In addition, we operate a low-
cost spay/neuter clinic (25-26 surgeries per
day), serving our shelter animals and public
pets, which has enabled us to drive down the
number of unwanted and stray pets. We also
offer a free mobile clinic a surgery suite
on wheels for targeted neighborhoods. All
our vets but one (the one whos 6 feet 5 inch-
es and cant t in the mobile clinic) take turns
out on the road with the mobile clinic. We
also have a team of employees who special-
ize in understanding animal behavior, so they
help our shelter animals get better and
make them adoptable in very different ways.
Next month, well have our rst veterinary
behaviorist. As the name suggests, a vet
behaviorist has degrees in veterinary medi-
cine and animal behavior and can offer a
diagnosis and treatment plan that involves
both short-term drug therapy with behavior
training that lessens the sensitivity to a stress
trigger. I should point out that drugs are often
a temporary Band-Aid solution which does
not address the underlying issue. But, when
drug therapy is paired with behavior tech-
niques, owners have the best chance of
changing the problematic and sometimes
scary behaviors such as a dog with severe
separation anxiety who chews his paws raw
when his owners leave him alone. Beginning
Dec. 16, our board-certified veterinary
behaviorist will be on-site every third Sunday
of the month, helping owners with difcult
behavior issues. Her 75-minute private con-
sultations for both dog and cat owners will
involve a physical exam and behavior treat-
ment plans. To inquire about a consultation,
please contact us at 650/340.7022 Ext. 317.

LOS ANGELES The sun has set on the
Twilight franchise with one last blockbuster
opening for the supernatural romance.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn
Part 2 sucked up $141.3 million domestical-
ly over opening weekend and $199.6 million
more overseas for a worldwide debut of
$340.9 million, according to studio estimates
Sunday.
The nale ranks eighth on the list of all-
time domestic debuts, and leaves Twilight
with three of the top-10 openings, joining
2009s New Moon (No. 7 with $142.8 mil-
lion) and last years Breaking Dawn Part
1 (No. 9 with $138.1 million).
Last Mays The Avengers is No. 1 with
$207.4 million. Batman is the only other
franchise with more than one top-10 opening:
last Julys The Dark Knight Rises (No. 3
with $160.9 million) and 2008s The Dark
Knight (No. 4 with $158.4 million).
Though Twilight still is a female-driven
franchise, with girls and women making up
79 percent of the opening-weekend audience,
the nale drew the biggest male crowds in the
series. Action-minded guys had more to root
for in the nale as Kristen Stewart, Robert
Pattinson and Taylor Lautner join in a colos-
sal battle to end the story of warring vampires
and werewolves.
Our male audience particularly has
enjoyed this lm, said Richie Fay, head of
distribution for Lionsgate, whose Summit
Entertainment banner releases the Twilight
movies. With the action scenes in this one,
were hoping the holdover business will
reect the fact that males have kind of found
it out.
The movie also helped lift Lionsgate into
the big leagues among Hollywood studios.
Paced by its $400 million smash with The
Hunger Games and now the Twilight
nale, Lionsgate surpassed $1 billion at the
domestic box ofce for the rst time.
Some box-ofce watchers had expected the
last Twilight movie to open with a franchise
record the way the Harry Potter nale did
last year with $169.2 million, the second-best
domestic debut on the charts.
I thought that for the nal installment, it
might eclipse the franchise record, but to look
at $141.3 million and say thats a disappoint-
ment, thats kind of crazy, said Paul
Dergarabedian, an analyst for box-office
tracker Hollywood.com. Its one of the most
consistently performing franchises of all
time.
The Twilight nale took over the No. 1
spot from Sonys James Bond adventure
Skyfall, which slipped to second-place with
$41.5 million domestically in its second
weekend. Skyfall raised its domestic total to
$161.3 million.
The franchises third lm starring Daniel
Craig as Bond, Skyfall began rolling out
overseas in late October and has hit $507.9
million internationally at the box ofce. The
lms global total climbed to $669.2 million,
helping to lift Sony to its best year ever with
$4 billion worldwide, topping the studios
$3.6 billion haul in 2009.
Skyfall passed the previous franchise
high of $599.2 million worldwide for 2006s
Casino Royale.
Steven Spielberg and Daniel Day-Lewis
Civil War drama Lincoln expanded nation-
wide after a week in limited release and came
in at No. 3 with $21 million. Distributed by
Disney, Lincoln lifted its domestic haul to
$22.4 million.
The comic drama Silver Linings
Playbook, released by the Weinstein Co., got
off to a good start in limited release, taking in
$458,430 in 16 theaters for a solid average of
$28,652 a cinema. By comparison, the
Twilight nale averaged $34,717 in 4,070
theaters.
Silver Linings Playbook stars Bradley
Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert De
Niro in a quirky romance involving a man
fresh out of a psychiatric hospital and an emo-
tionally troubled young widow.
Keira Knightleys period drama Anna
Karenina also started well in limited release
with $315,395 in 16 theaters, for an average
of $19,712. The Focus Features lm stars
Knightley in the title role of Leo Tolstoys
tragic romance.

On Nov. 3, the Burlingame Museum of PEZ Memorabilia debuted its newest acquisitions, ar-
guably the two rarest Pez candy dispensers in the world.The dispensers,a Democratic Donkey
dispenser and a Republican Elephant dispenser,with an estimated value of $20,000 - $25,000,
were created in 1961 by Pez Candy Inc. as a gift to a current U.S. President. Linda Lewis (right)
from Tucson, Arizona and Glenn Mendelson (left, front) from Burlingame enjoyed the occa-
sion with Museum Owner Gary Doss (left,rear).Proceeds collected during the unveiling went
to InnVision Shelter Network (www.ivsn.org), a local nonprot dedicated to ending home-
lessness.
RARE FINDS
Antoinette (Nettie) Schmiedell, the only
daughter of wealthy San Franciscans, Henry
and Fronie Schmiedell. After a European hon-
eymoon that lasted almost two years, the cou-
ple made their home on Gough Street. In
1893, Netties father died. Thereafter, due pri-
marily to his wifes inheritance, the couple
lived a privileged life of parties and travel.
George also kept busy with architectural com-
missions, designing as many as 75 country
homes for wealthy friends on the mid-
Peninsula, including the Kohl Mansion.
George and Netties own country home,
Howard House, sat at the top of todays
Roehampton Road. Howard House employed
classical design elements and was surrounded
by spectacular gardens, which George dubbed
Versailles. Like the Gothic stone church his
parents built several decades earlier, the ele-
gance of Hillsboroughs country homes in the
late 1800s often stood in marked contrast to
the dusty roads and roaming cattle that sur-
rounded them. California was not New York,
or Paris, or London, but it was not for lack of
trying.
Most of Georges architectural projects
were either Neoclassical or English Tudor in
design, reecting the Gilded Age preference
for all things European. The one major
exception was the project for which he is best
known, the Burlingame train station. In 1893,
the newly formed Burlingame Country Club
sought its own train station to welcome
guests in style from San Francisco. George
and his architect partner Joachim Mathisen
chose a quintessentially California design for
the stationthat of a California mission. The
train station, completed in 1894, is now des-
ignated as a California Historical Landmark
and is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places due primarily to its architec-
tural signicance as the earliest permanent
example of California Mission Revival archi-
tecture.
In the late 1920s, George and Nettie
moved to Paris. Their firstborn son died in
Europe in 1932, at the early age of 41. In the
spring of 1933, George accompanied his
sons ashes back to San Mateo. Writing from
a train car on a cross-country trip from New
York soon after Franklin Delano Roosevelt
became president, George told his wife
Nettie, I did not realize what America was
really like until I commenced my trip from
ocean to ocean. I feel as if I were in a strange
country amongst a strange people. The era
of conspicuous consumption was over.
Champagne and oysters had been replaced
by soup and bread. The Gilded Age had
come to a crashing end.
More about George H. Howard, including
photos of his home and gardens and copies of
his letters to his wife Nettie, can be viewed in
a new web exhibit at http://burlingamefound-
ingfamilies.wordpress.com/ The exhibit is
sponsored by the Burlingame Historical
Society, which also sponsors a museum at
Howards Burlingame train station. That
museum is open the rst Sunday of each
month from 1 p.m.-4 p.m.

Burlingame Vice Mayor Ann Keighran and DAVIDsTEA co-founder David Segal enjoyed the opening of

ebrate the tea stores rst Peninsula location.

porters at its largest fundraiser,
Holiday Traditions.
Im excited for all of it,
DAgosta said, adding shell spend
the start of her job listening to the
ideas of those who really know
Filoli. Im looking forward to see-
ing what people are doing and get-
ting back into a landscape like this.
DAgosta was born in Vallejo but
moved to San Jose at 8. Her explo-
ration of art has included a variety
of mediums from carving marble to
bronze castings and watercolor. She
studied science and ne arts while
at University of California in Santa
Cruz. As a banana slug, DAgosta
began working with architects in
town. It was through that work that
she was introduced to the world of
landscaping.
It was through her sister that
DAgosta met Gary Blickenstaff,
her husband of 38 years. They both
worked at different locations for the
same department store and
DAgostas sister was convinced
they would hit it off. She was right.
The pair has two children and three
grandchildren today.
The couple traveled east early in
their careers to continue their edu-
cation. DAgosta studied landscape
architecture at Harvard while
Blickenstaff attended Tufts
University. During the summers,
DAgosta helped with a project at
Acadia National Park in Maine. The
park hadnt been built for the large
recreational vehicles that were now
frequenting the park. The goal was
to update the parks general plan to
solve issues but also preserve his-
toric aspects. While at Harvard,
DAgosta took part in a cooperative
project at Campabello Island. Part
of the island attracted wealthy, sea-
sonal visitors while another end
included a small shing communi-
ty. The challenge was to nd a way
for both to survive on the space.
Through school DAgosta real-
ized her desire to work in a way that
allows her to work with communi-
ties.
DAgosta rst took a job with a
Southern California company work-
ing on landscape. But, after two
years, she decided to work with Los
Angeles County as a park planner.
The job kept her busy with manag-
ing trails and signicant ecological.
DAgosta was also part of a the
team that, over ve years, created a
master plan for the Los Angeles
River a task that required many
cities and government agencies to
work together. Her work led to a
position with the Santa Monica
Mountain Conservancy which was
focusing on the Los Angeles River.
Today, DAgosta can see much of
her plans becoming reality along
the river.
A position with the San
Francisquito Creek Joint Powers
Authority brought DAgosta back
to northern California. She left after
eight years to be executive director
at the Committee for Green
Foothills.
Despite not ofcially starting in
her new role, DAgosta is already
getting started. Shes starting to
learn the lay of the land, literally,
and those who have helped Filoli
run so smoothly thus far. Once shes
settled, DAgosta is eager to take
part in the art courses offered on
site.

information, Foust said. If we have
the rules too loose it can be open to
interpretation.
Regardless of the number of speakers,
the public comment period will be only
15 minutes and action items will receive
30 minutes. Appeals and public hear-
ings will receive 60 minutes per item
and if there are more than 20 speakers
they may receive less than three minutes
each.
The hope is that the uniform policy
also shows the public that individual
opinions and concerns are not being dis-
missed, Foust said.
There is a very large difference
between being heard and getting what
you want although people mix those up.
When people feel they havent gotten
what they want they tend to say youre
not listening. With these rules, nobody
can come back and say it wasnt fair,
Foust said.
The policy also states a city ofcial
can lawfully endorse a candidate or bal-
lot measure using their job or political
title but cannot mislead the public into
thinking he or she is acting on behalf of
the city and cant use city resources like

CONDUCT
the familys second year with the San
Carlos Elementary School District. The
Robertsons are one of a growing num-
ber of families choosing to move into
academically successful San Mateo
County school districts. Offering suc-
cessful schools creates challenges for
both the district and the families. In San
Carlos, the biggest challenge for district
ofcials has been creating enough space
for the growing number of students. For
families moving to the neighborhood,
there is uncertainty over placement
which can cause anxiety.
Growing enrollment
Since 1995, enrollment throughout
the county has stayed between 157,000
to 160,000 students, according to
KidsData.org. In fact, theres only a
154-student difference between the
county-wide enrollment in 1995 and
2011. But in San Carlos, during that
same period of time, the enrollment has
increased by 949 students. For a district
with a goal of keeping neighborhood
schools at 400 students, thats a chal-
lenge. Already, the district has schools
with enrollment above the self-imposed
goal.
Space has been the biggest challenge
as a result of the growth, said
Superintendent Craig Baker. All other
impacts have been positive for the dis-
trict. Baker noted the growth hasnt
changed the demographics within the
district.
Districts often do demographic stud-
ies to prepare for growth. Until recently,
those studies were largely dependent on
birth rates. The formula was simple: A
spike in birth rates meant there would
be more children in four to ve years.
However, the new trend is families with
children already moving into districts
thus skewing the numbers. This trend
has caused San Carlos to use a different
technology when trying to estimate
enrollment.
Skewing the numbers
The Robertsons are among the ready-
made families moving into San Carlos.
When they moved in 2011, it was the
second relocation for the family in a
short period of time.
While living in Virginia, the family
considered a job offer that could mean
relocating to Colorado or San Mateo
County. In 2009, the family decided
against the Bay Area move because
there was no promise that space was
available for both children at their
neighborhood school. Creating a com-
munity with the new neighbors, one in
which the kids could make friends and
have people with whom to walk to
school was a goal for the Robertsons.
As a result, they chose Colorado. But,
after 20 months in the Centennial State,
the company headquartered in San
Mateo moved employees out here. The
Robertsons followed and again consid-
ered San Carlos. By that time, it was a
little easier to adjust to the school
change.
In 2011, Henry was going into
Central Middle School and Emily
would still be in elementary school. The
kids were going to be in separate
schools regardless. School placements
werent assured still until all the paper-
work was in, which was in the summer
long after registration started. It took
time to get all the paperwork needed to
solidify the enrollment.
Once in the community, Beth got
involved with the PTA and local efforts
to pass Measure H, a $72 million bond
measure approved by voters earlier this
month.
Creating space
Making room for the growing number
of students has been an ongoing chal-
lenge for San Carlos. For some time, the
district and board have been preparing
for the growth by talking about priori-
ties to guide the conversation, such as
the size of local schools, allowing fami-
lies to walk to campus and keeping
equitable programs throughout the city.
Having to pass the bond was really
the only challenge. Theres no other
money out there, Baker said.
Board President Seth Rosenblatt
explained both facilities and trafc have
been issues as enrollment grows. As a
result of the trafc issues, Rosenblatt
noted the district now works more
closely with both San Carlos and
Belmont.
When it comes to facilities, the dis-
trict made some boundary changes a
few years ago that even out the distribu-
tion of students. Conversations about
the need for space started about a year
ago. There are enough students to need
a new school but San Carlos doesnt
have land available. Rosenblatt said that
constraint coupled with a desire for
equitable opportunities throughout the
district started framing the conversation
to find solutions. Rosenblatt credits
Baker for managing discussions within
the community to allow for creative
options.
One option currently being consid-
ered is to create a fourth and fth grade
program on each of the middle school
campuses. Doing so would remove one
grade, fourth, from each elementary
school and take fifth from middle
school. That option means the district
wouldnt need to purchase land and cre-
ates opportunities for shared facilities.
The passage of Measure H allows the
district to focus on making the growth
vision a reality.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2012
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If youre concerned
about taking a certain action, put it off until you can
evaluate it more clearly. You need to frst know what
the ramifcations could be.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Getting your facts
straight should always be of concern to you, but
especially so if you are involved in a costly project.
Be sure you look quite closely before you leap.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Dont be satisfed
with ballpark fgures concerning an important fnan-
cial matter. If youre inclined to jump to conclusions,
you could get yourself in trouble very fast.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- An important objec-
tive might never be achieved if you ignore the small
details. You cannot be oblivious to them -- even
though theyre tiny, they still matter.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- This might not be one
of your better days for keeping things to yourself. A
smart adversary who is aware of your shortcomings
might get you to tell much more than you should.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Even if you feel justifed
in giving a nettlesome someone a piece of your mind,
youd be smart to avoid it. It would only increase your
diffculties with the offending party.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Regardless of the
circumstances, dont volunteer any unrequested
criticism, suggestions or advice. Instead of getting
a thank you, youre more likely to get a huge
reprimand.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Owing to your focus on
the insignifcant rather than on the essentials, this
isnt likely to be one of your more productive days.
Turn that around.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Before making any
costly plans that include a friend or associate, its
best you check frst to make sure that the other party
is amenable. Your pal might not be on board.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Opening up a touchy
domestic issue is apt to create some unnecessary
friction within the household. Dont voice anything
without frst considering the consequences.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Before pointing out
others faults, you had better take a look at your own
behavior. Although you might start the critique, others
are guaranteed to fnish it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Although you are likely to
be quite adept at keeping large expenditures under
control, it could be the smaller ones that pile up on
you. Be both pennywise and pound-conscious.

There Is
New Hope!
A Health Center
Dedicated to
Severe Disc
Conditions
Youve seen the ads and heard the
radio commercials about my Non-
Surgical Spinal Decompression
treatment. At Crossroads Health
Center, Ive created an entire facility
dedicated to patients with severe disc
conditions that have not responded
to traditional care. My revolutionary,
Crossroads Method, provides a very
high success rate to patients with
serious back, neck, leg and arm pain
even when all else has failed. This
FDA cleared; non-surgical treatment
allows us to rehabilitate your
herniated or degenerative disc(s)
by reversing internal pressure and
enabling your disc(s) to heal from the
inside out. We succeed where other
treatments have failed by removing
the pressure that is causing pain to
your disc(s) and nerves without
drugs, injections, invasive surgery or
harmful side effects.
The only ofce to have
The Crossroads Method
This method which includes
computerized true disc
decompression is considered by
many doctors to be the most
advanced and successful non-
invasive treatment of serious back,
neck, leg or arm pain.
This procedure allows for a much
higher success rate by increasing
hydration of your discs, fexibility,
relaxation of muscles and ligaments
along with improving muscle and
core strength, balance and posture.
This results in a more effective and
lasting solution to your pain. There
are no side effects and no recovery
time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment
has proven to be effective even
when drugs, epidurals, traditional
chiropractic, physical therapy
and surgery have failed The
Crossroads Method has shown
dramatic results.
Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When
an MRI showed that I had two
degenerative discs, I went through a
series of lumbar epidural injections
without success. The only thing
that made the pain and spasms go
away was Spinal Decompression
treatments at Crossroads Health
Center. Four years later and I am
still pain-free!
Lisa K.
My severe low back and sciatica
pain have been reduced signifcantly
since receiving spinal decompression
therapy at Crossroads Health Center.
I am now able to walk, golf, and do
things that I havent been able to do in
years! I would also like to say thanks
to Dr. Ferrigno and the offce staff as
they went above and beyond to make
sure my back problem was resolved. I
couldnt be happier!!

ities.
Pine also recommends a one-
time independent evaluation of the
controllers current internal audit
practices and expanding the
offices use of analytic software to
discover unusual financial activi-
ties that might point to mistakes,
fraud or just weak internal con-
trols.
Pine did not return a call for com-
ment on the proposal but in a memo
to the board notes that risk of ethics
breakdowns and internal weakness-
es increase as employees are
required to do more with less per-
sonnel.
Organizations in the United States
will lose 5 percent of their annual
revenue to fraud, according to the
Certified Fraud Examiners 2012
Report cited by Pine.
The goal for San Mateo County is
continually improving its own
framework while reminding
employees of their roles in main-
taining an ethical environment, Pine
wrote in the report.
The initial $262,600 investment
will come from non-departmental

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj
performed together and separate-
ly at the American Music
Awards. They both were also double
winners.
The 18-year-old won favorite
pop/rock male artist in the first
award handed out at Sundays
American Music Awards and gave a
shout-out to those who didnt think
he would last on the music scene.
I want to say this is for all the
haters who that I was just here for
one or two years. I feel like Im
going to be here for a very long
time, he said, also thanking his
mom, manager, family and his
beautiful, beautiful fans.
He also won favorite pop/rock
album for Believe. He gave a
stripped down, acoustic perform-
ance of As Long As You Love Me,
sitting down as someone played the
guitar. He transitioned to the dance-
heavy Beauty and a Beat, where
Minaj joined him onstage, grinding
with the teen for a few seconds.
Minaj repeated her AMAs wins
from last year, picking up trophies
for favorite rap/hip-hop artists and
album for Pink Friday: Roman
Reloaded. She was in an all-white
get-up, including fur coat and pink
hair when she performed her new
song Freedom. The scene was
ghostly and snowy, as a choir
also in white joined her onstage.
One background singer stole the
performance, belting semi-high
notes as Minaj looked on.
As Bieber won his second award,
he was kissed on the neck by Jenny
McCarthy, who presented the award.
Wow. I feel violated right now,
he said, laughing.
Biebers red and black outfit
seemed to be the nights theme, as
Taylor Swift and Usher wore similar
ensembles.
Usher kicked off the three-hour
show with green laser lights beam-
ing onstage as he performed a med-
ley of songs, including Numb,
Climax and Cant Stop, Wont
Stop, which featured a smoky oor
and a number of backup dancers, as
Usher jammed in all black, with the
exception of his red shoes.
Swift won her fth consecutive
award for favorite country female
artist.
This is unreal. I want to thank the
fans. You guys are the ones who
voted on this, she said. Luke Bryan
won favorite country male artist and
Lady Antebellum favorite country
group.
Swift gave a masquerade-themed
performance of the pop song I
Knew You Were Trouble. She sang
onstage in a light dress while
dancers wore mostly black. But then
she changed into a red corset and
black skirt, matching their dark
mood. She even danced and sang on
the oor as lights ickered through-
out the performance.
Carly Rae Jepsen, who performed
early in the night, won favorite new
artist.
I am oored. Wow, she said,
thanking Bieber and his manager,
Scooter Braun.
Party girl Ke$ha was glammed up
on the red carpet, rocking long,
owy blonde hair and a light pink
dress. She switched to her normal
attire when she performed her hit
single Die Young. It was tribal,
with shirtless dancers in skin-tight
pants, silver hair and skeleton-paint-
ed faces, who also played the drums.
Ke$ha was pants-less, rocking knee-
high boots and rolling on the oor as
she nished up the song.
Minaj and Christina Aguilera were
blonde bombshells, too: Minajs hair
was busy and full of volume and she
sported a neon strapless gown to
accept her award. Aguilera wore a
blonde bob in a purple dress that
matched her eyeshadow.
