Federal approval speeds
insurance market growth
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO The federal govern-
ment on Thursday approved Californias
plan to run its own health insurance mar-
ket, a milestone in the states effort to meet
requirements of the national health care
reform law.
California was among seven states that
received conditional approval from the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services to operate their own insurance exchanges. Arkansas
was approved to operate a partnership exchange with the fed-
eral government.

In the days following Dec. 14, gun
control advocates snapped into action.
The Newtown, Conn. shooting at Sandy
Hook Elementary School left 26 people
dead.
In response to the proliferation of talks
of stricter firearms regulations, gun
enthusiasts got moving as well.
Gun sales at Peninsula Guns and
Tactical in San Bruno quadrupled during
the rst few days after the shooting, said
owner Jeannie Z., who did not want to
give her complete last name. Last week,
the store was completely sold out of AR-
15s a type of legal automatic rie that
could potentially be banned in the near
future.
Sales have been on the rise in the past
couple of years, said Jeannie. The fear of
guns being taken away is the main moti-
vation for people buying more guns, she
said.
Theres been a lot of media hype,
she said as she helped customers in her
crowded store. The idea that some types
of guns may not be available in the near
future because of new regulations has
motivated more people to buy guns.
A ban makes them more valuable,
she said.
At rst, Jeannie was hesitant about
working in a gun shop, but she has found
that her customers are responsible.
The average customer has many
guns, goes to the range and knows gun
safety, she said. She nds that most
male gun owners are fascinated with col-

Cat that spent a
week in tree found
MARION, Mass. A stray cat that
spent at least a week stuck in a
Massachusetts tree before plunging 80
feet to the ground and eeing has been
found, and all things considered, appears
to be in good health.
A Marion Animal Hospital veterinari-
an said Wednesday its unbelievable
that the cat dubbed Fortunate has just a
couple of pulled muscles and a possible
parasitic infection.
The cat was spotted in a Rochester,
Mass., tree on Christmas Eve. Several
rescue attempts failed before reghters
cut the branch it was perched on Sunday.
Cat shelter founder Pam Robinson nal-
ly trapped the skittish feline on Tuesday.
Robinson tells The Standard Times
she will keep the cat for a few weeks so
it can regain weight before putting it up
for adoption.
Royal Mail to issue
Doctor Who stamps
LONDON The many characters in
the science-ction show Doctor Who
will be zooming through time and space
on the edge of letters in 2013.
Britains Royal Mail is marking the
50th anniversary of the popular show
with a series of stamps featuring each of
the 11 actors who have played the title
role, known as the Doctor. Those fea-
tured include the most recent actor, Matt
Smith, as well as past Time Lords such
as David Tennant and Christopher
Eccleston.
The series will also include a minia-
ture sheet that brings together Second
Class stamps featuring the Doctors
time-traveling machine and four of his
iconic foes a Dalek, an Ood, a
Weeping Angel and a Cyberman.
The stamps honoring the cult British
television program will be available
starting at the end of March.
Zoo count begins: No
creature too small to count
LONDON In a sea of apping
black and white ippers, Ricky is hard to
miss: Hes got spiky yellow feathers, a
amboyant character, and hes the only
rockhopper among the dozens of pen-
guins living in the London Zoo.
Thats a big help for keepers who
embarked Thursday on their annual
stock-taking of all the zoos residents.
Its no easy task, when there are more
than 17,500 creatures to count. All ani-
mals have to be accounted for, including
the tarantulas, locusts and snails.
The same scene was being repeated at
zoos throughout Britain Thursday the
census is nationwide. No stone is left
unturned, lest there be a beetle below.
At the London Zoo, keepers hope the
new year will bring some company to
Ricky, who has been the zoos lone rock-
hopper since 2011.
Rickys quite a unique character
he was rejected by his parents and was
hand-reared. Hes more interested in zoo
keepers than in other penguins, said
zoological director David Field. Its
time to get him some rockhopper part-
ners.
In the meerkat enclosure, 11 of the
small mammals were only too happy to
be counted, climbing onto a keepers
clipboard seeking attention and food.
An all-female family of nine otters
likewise rushed forward at the sight of
their favored delicacies: Mice and cray-
sh. In the invertebrates section, a palm-
sized red-kneed tarantula called Jill
caused a stir among visitors when she
was lifted out of her box for inspection.
This is quite a docile one, said keep-
er Amy Callaghan, who held the spider
out in her hand for photographers. I
was a little bit wary of them at rst, but
now I think theyre brilliant.
The census is required as part of the
license terms of British zoos, and the
data is used for zoo management and
international breeding programs for
endangered animals. The final tally
could take weeks.
Most animals in the zoo have
microchips in their bodies, making
counting a little less daunting. Fish and
animals with camouage properties
such as leaf insects are trickier, and
the tiniest ones such as ants are counted
in colonies, not as individuals.

The prime suspect in the 2010 shooting of
an East Palo Alto activist pleaded no contest
Thursday to charges of possessing three
homemade shanks in the county jail while
awaiting trial for murder in exchange for no
more than four years in prison.
Instead of having a preliminary hearing
Thursday, Gregory Leon Elarms Sr., 60,
pleaded no contest to three felony charges of
possessing weapons in the jail during
February 2011 rst a spork, then a tooth-
brush and a third, two pencils strapped togeth-
er. Each had been sharpened to a point and
reportedly discovered in Elarms cell. Elarms
pleaded no contest on the condition of no
more than four years in state prison, the max-
imum he faced was six, said District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe. Elarms
will be back in court Jan.
30 for the imposition of
sentence.
Elarms actions keep him
in custody on $500,000
bail another month. The
weapons case is separate
from the now-dismissed
murder charges but evi-
dence, including his police
confession, in that matter may be used in the
bail hearing by prosecutors who contend it
shows prior acts and threats of violence.
At the time of the weapons charges, Elarms
was in custody without bail awaiting trial for
the June 8, 2010 murder of East Palo Alto
activist David Lewis in the parking garage of
Hillsdale Shopping Center in San Mateo.
During the murder trial in November, Judge
Stephen Hall ruled Elarms police confession
inadmissible because San Mateo police did
not Mirandize the Pittsburg man or respond to
his numerous requests for a lawyer. Without
the confession, Hall also ruled there was
insufcient evidence for a murder trial.
Hall let stand one jail weapons charge
already led but prosecutors opted instead to
dismiss that case so they could instead le
three similar counts. Doing so allows the pros-
ecution to keep Elarms in the legal system
while they have the state Attorney Generals
Ofce appeal Halls ruling.
Elarms is accused of following Lewis from
San Mateo Medical Center, where he was an
outreach worker, to the parking garage and
shooting him once in the torso. The men
reportedly knew each other from childhood
but Elarms believed Lewis had become his
enemy.
Murder suspect pleads no
contest to weapons charges
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
SamTrans is launching a new program that
will allow member organizations to nd and
borrow eet vehicles like shuttles and vans at
reasonable rates, the agency announced yester-
day.
The Peninsula Fleet Share Program is an 18-
month pilot project being funded through a
combination of grant and matching funds.
The purpose is to create more efcient use of
vehicle capacity through a program that allows
members to sign up for service, then search out
the types and sizes of vehicles that meet their
needs through an online registry.
Lending organizations can use the program
to offset the costs of owning large shuttles and
vans by renting them out through the eet
sharing service. Renters benet from rates that
are substantially lower than commercial rental
services.
Registrants can gain access to a range of
vehicles owned by cities and organizations and
may also advertise their own vehicles and
rates, as well as rates for drivers, so others may
borrow from their fleets, according to
SamTrans.
Registrants may also lend an unused vehicle
or borrow a vehicle to temporarily increase
capacity of an existing eet, offer a special
outing for seniors, provide job training trans-
portation or transport community members to
park and recreation programs, according to
SamTrans.
The program is designed to allow cities,
agencies and other organizations in San Mateo
County borrow passenger vehicles when they
need them and lend their vehicles to other
organizations when they are not being used.
The goal is to save money for some groups
while others can generate revenue by lending
their vehicles.
New members will be able to sign up free of
charge during the introductory period, which
ends June 28.

Police seek duo who
robbed victim at knifepoint
Police in San Mateo are asking for the
publics help in identifying two suspects
who robbed a man at knifepoint on New
Years Eve.
The 57-year-old victim was standing near
a bus stop on El Camino Real at 37th Avenue
at about 9:30 p.m. when he was approached
by two male suspects wearing ski masks,
police said.
One of the suspects was carrying a knife,
according to police.
The robbers took some of the victims
property and fled, possibly in a dark vehicle
that was seen shortly after the crime heading
south on El Camino Real, police said.
No one was injured, and the robbery was-
nt reported to police until Tuesday.
The suspects were both of average height
and build, and both were wearing baggy
jeans, according to police.
Anyone with information about the case is
asked to call the San Mateo Police
Departments investigations bureau at (650)
522-7650. Callers wishing to remain anony-
mous can call the secret witness hotline at
(650) 522-7676.
Police investigate
stabbing between father and son
A physical altercation left a father with
stab wounds and a son with head trauma at a
residence in Daly City early Thursday morn-
ing, according to a Daly City police ser-
geant.
The father called police at about at 2:30
a.m. to report that he had been stabbed,
according to Daly City police Sgt. Mike
Barton.
Daly City police responded to a residence
in the Crown Colony apartment complex on
Imperial Way and found both subjects suf-
fering injuries.
The father had been stabbed four times
and the son had sustained trauma to his
head, Barton said.
Both the father and son were transported
to a local hospital to be treated for their
injuries, which police said do not appear to
be life threatening.
Barton said no other residents were home
to witness the altercation and both subjects
remained at the hospital.

SAN FRANCISCO A rapt crowd fol-
lowed a trail of bubbles that zipped over the
surface of a seaside pond in the ruins of a 19th
century bath in San Francisco.
San Franciscos newest star the rst river
otter seen in the city in decades surfaced its
whiskery head furtively, a mouth full of sea
grass. The crowd oohed as large waves pound-
ed rocks just offshore, a briny smell and chill
in the air.
The otter ducked back under water and took
the sea grass underneath a concrete remnant
of the historic baths, where the animal was
building a nest.
We came here to see the baths and this was
just a bonus, said Eliza Durkin, who brought
her son Jonathan to the site for a school proj-
ect on historic places.
Beyond tourists, the otter has mystied and
delighted conservationists, who are piecing
together clues to gure out how he got there.
The furry creature was rst spotted by bird-
watchers in September and has since settled
into the City by the Bay.
River otters once thrived in the San
Francisco Bay area, but development, hunting
and environmental pollution in the 19th and
20th centuries has taken its toll on the once
thriving local population.
The critters are a living barometer of water
quality if its bad they cannot thrive. But
new populations being seen north and east of
San Francisco are giving hope to conserva-
tionists that years of environmental regula-
tions and new technologies are making a dif-
ference.
The fact that this otter is in San Francisco
and doing so well in other regions of the Bay
Area, its a good message that theres hope for
the watershed, said Megan Isadore, director
of outreach and education for the River Otter
Ecology Project, a group that studies otter
populations further north and in the bay.
The group said until now it had no evidence
the creatures had returned to San Francisco,
and the last sighting was nearly a half-century
ago as best they can tell.
The otter is nicknamed Sutro Sam after
the old baths, which were named after former
San Francisco Mayor Adolph Sutro, who built
the building which at the time was an engi-
neering marvel.
The facility opened in 1896 on a cliff facing
the Pacic Ocean, its baths fed by the salty
ocean tides and a freshwater seep. They were
torn down and burned in a re in 1966, and the
buildings carcass has long been a tourist draw
on the citys rugged, western shoreline.
Rare river otter stumps researchers
JOUKO VAN DER KRUIJSSEN
The Marin County-based River Otter Ecology Project has been tracking river otters' whereabouts
throughout the Bay Area for the past year, and about 10 weeks ago noticed a rare sight a
river otter in San Francisco.

MIAM Federal lawmakers have passed a
bill that will give social workers better access
to school records in an effort to improve dis-
mal education outcomes for foster children.
Social workers had been required to get a
court order to access a foster childs school
records under a law meant to protect the
childs privacy. But advocates said the extra
red tape made it difcult for social workers
because foster youths change schools fre-
quently as they move between different
homes.
When child welfare agencies cannot access
school records, children often dont have a
way to bring those documents to new schools
because foster parents may not be legal
guardians entitled to access those records.
Some students end up taking the same classes
over because credits are lost or dont transfer.
Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., sponsored the
bill, which passed the House late Tuesday
night with support from Reps. Michelle
Bachmann, R-Minn.; Tom Marino, R-Pa.; and
Jim McDermott, D-Wash. The bill earned
bipartisan support in both chambers of
Congress and is awaiting the presidents
approval. The Senate passed the measure in
mid-December.
Foster youth can have a hard enough time
completing their educations as they move
around within the foster care system. Federal
law should not add to those challenges by con-
tributing to enrollment delays or inappropriate
course placements, Bass said.
The bill gives child welfare workers access
to school records and paves the way for better
data sharing between education and child wel-
fare agencies. The bill also allows child wel-
fare agencies to use education records to study
how well foster kids are measuring up to fed-
eral education mandates.
Bass, who founded the Congressional
Caucus on Foster Youth, has been traveling the
country discussing foster care issues. She met
with ofcials in Florida last March.

Obituary
By Christina Hoag
LOS ANGELES Californias school dis-
tricts are shouldering an increasing share of the
rising cost of educating students with disabili-
ties as state and federal funding remains at,
according to a state report released Thursday.
The 25-page report by the state Legislative
Analysts Ofce found that school districts
must keep dipping deeper into their general
funds to pay for special education.
Schools spend $8.6 billion a year on special
education, a combination of state, federal and
local funds. The average cost to educate a stu-
dent with disabilities is $22,300 a year, com-
pared with $9,600 for a non-disabled child.
In 2005, districts assumed 32 percent of
their special education costs. In 2011, that g-
ure had risen to 39 percent. The report said the
gure is now likely higher after a two-year
boost from federal stimulus funds has dried up.
The report made no recommendations for
policy changes. Rather, it was meant as an
informational survey of an especially compli-
cated and costly area of K-12 education,
author Rachel Ehlers said.
It came as Gov. Jerry Brown is slated to
unveil next week an overhaul of how the state
funds education, with a goal of shifting more
money to lower-income schools.
We dont know if special education will be
in or out of that yet, Ehlers said. Well see
what the governor proposes.
California provides special services to
618,000 school-aged children, or about 10 per-
cent of public school enrollment, as well as
another 68,000 preschoolers. Many students
with special needs about 40 percent have
relatively minor impairments, such as dyslexia
and other learning disabilities.
The overall number of students with disabil-
ities has dropped over the past decade due to a
20 percent decrease in the number of children
diagnosed with learning disabilities. Experts
say better awareness and earlier intervention
have led to more kids avoiding the special edu-
cation classication.
But increasing expenses are coming with a
240 percent increase in the number of children
with autism, and a 120 percent rise in other
impairments that require costlier interventions,
the report said. Those categories of disabilities,
however, still comprise a small proportion of
special education.
The report also found that California stu-
dents with disabilities face poor educational
outcomes, with many struggling to complete
high school and falling short of academic
benchmarks.
Only 59 percent of students with special
needs graduate from high school on time, even
with exemptions from the state high school
exit exam, and 18 percent drop out of school.
Furthermore, only 11 percent of students
with disabilities met federal benchmarks for
English language arts and math prociency in
2011, although scores have risen.
Nevertheless, the report said the state
Department of Education estimates about half
of students with special needs go on to enroll
in a higher education institution and another
15 percent are employed within a year of leav-
ing high school.
The report also noted that California is
behind other states in the amount of time stu-
dents with disabilities spend in mainstream
classrooms. About half of California students
spend 80 percent of the school day in general
classes, compared to 60 percent of students
nationally.
State schools face rising special education costs
We dont know if special
education will be in or out of that
yet. ... Well see what the governor proposes.

SACRAMENTO Oaklands city leaders
took a risk when, rather than lay off more staff
or cut services, they decided to borrow nearly
$213 million to cover pension payments owed
to retired city workers. Theyre betting that the
pension funds investments will earn more
than the cost of issuing pension obligation
bonds.
If theyre right, a nancial burden is eased.
If not, the city is saddled with paying interest
on top of the payments it has promised
retirees.
Len Raphael, an accountant and former can-
didate for city council, says ofcials who
approved the bonds last year acted without
understanding the risks or crafting a long-term
plan to bring the citys nances in order.
They were saying, Lets borrow the
money now, and later well gure out how are
we going to repay it, Raphael said. That
was nuts.
The struggling city in the San Francisco
Bay Area made a similar gamble on pension
bonds 15 years ago, and the move ended up
costing taxpayers $250 million because the
pension funds investments didnt yield as
much as the interest owed on the bonds.
This time, Oakland ofcials believe the
combination of record-low interest rates and
an improving stock market make it a prudent
move to take out a loan to cover soaring pen-
sion costs for public employees.
Governments across the country, including
Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and the state of Illinois,
have taken the same approach as Oakland in
recent years, borrowing a combined $53 bil-
lion between 1986 and 2009 as their retire-
ment liabilities have grown, according to a
2010 study by the Center for Retirement
Research at Boston College.
Cities and states struggling with pension
obligations can choose to borrow, or they can
make difcult choices, as some governments
have, to raise taxes, cut services and staff, or
try to reduce retirement benets.
By some estimates, Oakland has an unfund-
ed liability of $2 billion for the pensions and
medical benets owed to all its current and
retired workers. Its trying to reduce the
amount owed to 1,000 retired police and re-
ghters with the $213 million it borrowed in
July at an interest rate of 4.46 percent.
If the investments in the citys police and
reghter pension fund yield at least that
much, Oaklands gamble will pay off. The
borrowing has improved the status of
Oaklands system from 37.5 percent funded to
nearly 70 percent, with assets now valued at
$466 million.
Assistant City Administrator Scott Johnson
said the move is scally responsible because
interest rates are low and the city will be able
to repay the bonds using a dedicated parcel
tax.
The city is projecting a return of 6.75 per-
cent a year a conservative rate compared
with the stock markets long-term average.
But theres always the possibility of a poorer
performance. The average return on
Oaklands pension fund for the past ve years
amid the housing market crash and the
Great Recession was 2.5 percent, accord-
ing to the funds September performance
report.
It can be a dangerous gamble, said Marcia
Van Wagner, a senior analyst at Moodys
Investors Service.

WASHINGTON A new Congress
opened for business Thursday to con-
front long-festering national problems,
deficits and immigration among them,
in an intensely partisan and crisis-driv-
en era of divided government. The
American dream is in peril, said
House Speaker John Boehner, re-elect-
ed to his post despite a mini-revolt in
Republican ranks.
Moments after grasping an oversized
gavel that symbolizes his authority,
Boehner implored the assembly of
newcomers and veterans in the 113th
Congress to tackle the nations heavy
burden of debt at long last. We have
to be willing truly willing to
make this right.
Also on the two-year agenda is the
first significant effort at an overhaul of
the tax code in more than a quarter cen-
tury. Republicans and Democrats alike
say they want to chop at a thicket of
existing tax breaks and use the result-
ing revenue to reduce rates.
There were personal milestones
aplenty as the winners of last falls
races swore an oath of office as old as
the republic.
Sens. Heidi Heitkamp of North
Dakota, Elizabeth Warren of
Massachusetts, Tammy Baldwin of
Wisconsin, Mazie Hirono of Hawaii
and Deb Fischer of Nebraska were
among the newcomers sworn in,
raising the number of women in the
Senate to a record 20. Tim Scott of
South Carolina became the first
black Republican in the Senate in
more than three decades.
On the first day of a new term, one
veteran made a stirring comeback.
Republican Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois
returned to the Capitol for the first time
since suffering a stroke a year ago,
walking slowly up the 45 steps to the
Capitol with the use of a cane. Good
to see you, guys, he said.
More fiscal clashes loom

WASHINGTON A patchwork exten-
sion of federal farm programs passed as
part of a larger scal cliff bill keeps the
price of milk from rising but doesnt
include many of the goodies that farm-
state lawmakers are used to getting for
their rural districts.
House and Senate Agriculture
Committee leaders who spent more than a
year working on a half-trillion-dollar, ve-
year farm bill that would keep subsidies
owing had to accept in the nal hours a
slimmed-down, nine-month extension of
2008 law with few extras for anyone.
With the new Congress opening
Thursday, theyll have to start the farm bill
process over again, most likely with even
less money for agriculture programs this
year and the recognition that farm interests
have lost some of the political clout they
once held.
I think theres a lot of hurt feelings, that
all of this time and energy was put into it
and youve got nothing to show for it,
said Roger Johnson, president of the
National Farmers Union.
Senate Agriculture Committee
Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich.,
said it even more bluntly on the Senate
oor just after she learned that the bare-
bones extension would be part of the scal
cliff deal.
There is no way to explain this, she
said angrily as the deal came together New
Years Eve. None. There is absolutely no
way to explain this other than agriculture
is just not a priority.

Five men charged with murder
in New Delhi student gang rape
NEW DELHI Five men accused of raping a university
student for hours on a bus as it drove through Indias capital
were charged with murder, rape and other crimes that could
bring them the death penalty.
The attack on the 23-year-old woman, who died of severe
internal injuries over the weekend, provoked a erce debate
across India about the routine mistreatment of females and
triggered daily protests demanding action.
There have been signs of change since the attack. Rapes,
often ignored, have become front-page news, politicians have
called for tougher laws, including the death penalty and chem-
ical castration for rapists, and the government is examining
wide-scale reforms in the criminal justice systems handling of
sexual assaults.
American drones kill senior
Taliban figure in Pakistan
By Rebecca Santana and Ishtiaq Mahsud
ISLAMABAD An American drone strike in Pakistan has
killed a top Taliban commander who sent money and ghters
to battle the U.S. in Afghanistan but had a
truce with the Pakistani military, ofcials
said Thursday.
While the death of Maulvi Nazir was
likely to be seen in Washington as afrma-
tion of the necessity of the controversial
U.S. drone program, it could cause more
friction in already tense relations with
Pakistan because Nazir did not focus on
Pakistani targets.
Nazir was killed when two missiles
slammed into a house in a village in South Waziristan while he
was meeting with supporters and fellow commanders. Eight
other people were killed, according to ve Pakistani security
ofcials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they
were not authorized to talk to the media.
A U.S. ofcial conrmed the death of Nazir, along with an
unspecied number of trusted deputies.

Lantos will
not seek re-election
Longtime U.S. Rep. Tom Lantos,
D-San Mateo, announced the week
of Jan. 4, 2008 he would not seek
re-election in November 2008
because he had cancer
of the esophagus.
Lantos, 79, was the
only Holocaust sur-
vivor elected to Congress. He
served 27 years in Congress, was
one of the top ranking Democrats
in Congress and chaired the
Committee on Foreign Affairs. By
all accounts, Lantos was ready to
run for his 15th term that
November. His departure from the
seat left the race open for others
such as former state senator Jackie
Speier and current state Sen. Leland
Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo.
However, everyone appeared to be
putting politics to the side and
focusing on Lantos health.
Fundraiser gets
three-year sentence
Disgraced political donor
Norman Hsu was sentenced the
week of Jan. 4, 2008 to three years
in prison after a judge refused to
throw out a prior no-contest plea to
fraud.
Hsus lawyers had
asked Judge Stephen
Hall to dismiss his 16-
year-old plea, arguing
that Hsus right to speedy
justice was violated because author-
ities were not actively pursuing him
during his years as a fugitive. They
could easily have arrested Hsu, his
lawyers argued, at one of the
fundraisers he hosted in California
for prominent local politicians.
District seeks
unpaid benefit bill
More than $2,400 was being
sought for unpaid health benets
from a former San Bruno Park
Elementary School District trustee,
according to a December 2007 law-
suit reported the week of Jan. 4,
2008.
Superintendent David Hutt led a
small claims suit on Wednesday,
Dec. 12, 2007 seeking $2,409.64
for unpaid health benet overruns
by former trustee Brian Kramer
from January through July 2005.
Kramer lost his bid for re-election
in November 2005. The lawsuit is a
result of previously
unsuccessful attempts to
collect, explained board
President Skip Henderson.

Letters to the editor
The Telegraph, London
T
he scal cliff was concocted by
President Barack Obama and
Congress as a way of holding a gun
to their own heads. The xing of a deadline
for the automatic imposition of ferocious tax
rises and deep spending cuts was supposed to
concentrate the minds of Americas political
leaders and force them into taking the dif-
cult decisions required to start reeling in the
countrys truly terrifying levels of public
debt.
The stratagem has failed. There has been
no grand bargain that addresses the root
causes of the ballooning decit rocketing
social security entitlements funded by a too-
narrow tax base just a sticking-plaster set-
tlement aimed at buying more time. ... Given
that the United States has a $16 trillion bur-
den of debt and an annual budget decit of
$1.1 trillion, this package does not even
begin to address the scal crisis.
Meanwhile, a new two-month deadline
has been set for hammering out an agree-
ment on spending cuts. Sounds familiar?
We have been here many times already
with the eurozone sovereign debt crisis
when deadlines became infinitely elastic
as politicians refused to take painful but
necessary decisions and instead kept lob-
bing money at the problem.
As the powerhouse of the world economy,
America cannot continue to live in denial and
expect to maintain its dominant role. Its cur-
rent debt trajectory is leading the country to
ruination. ... Many economists believe that
such a crippling level of public debt can
destroy any prospect of economic growth.
The impact on the global economy of such a
slowdown would be disastrous.
Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in
the Senate, said: This shouldnt be the
model for how to do things around here.
The most depressing aspect of this narrow
escape is that if Americas political leaders
cannot display more maturity and a far
greater willingness to compromise, that is
exactly how things will continue to get done.
New American
business model?
Editor,
The new American corporation no longer
makes money the old-fashioned way: meet-
ing consumer demand with intelligent risk
taking. What is the new American way?
Make poor business decisions, lay blame
elsewhere and threaten a lawsuit to recoup
lost revenue.
One needs to look no further than the
recently opened 7-Eleven store at 501
North San Mateo Drive in the San Mateo
Heights neighborhood to illustrate this new
business model. Both the developer (PDP)
and 7-Eleven forged ahead with their plan
to remodel the vacant site despite vocifer-
ous opposition from neighborhood resi-
dents and the uncertainty of being compli-
ant with city codes. After acquiring a hasty
building permit, PDP and 7-Eleven pro-
ceeded to alter the site to accommodate a
more intensive use than its previous tenant,
showing blatant disregard for residents.
Recent Planning Commission rulings sug-
gest that the operation of the 7-Eleven mar-
ket on the site may be in violation of city
zoning codes.
Residents reject the position held by 7-
Eleven that the city of San Mateo could be
liable for an $8 million loss if its forced to
close. The citys liability is nowhere near
$8 million and could be $0 given question-
able practices in pushing the process for-
ward. By making a better business deci-
sion, damages could have been mitigated;
instead, the companies chose to ignore city
codes and neighborhood objections.
Risk taking and potential monetary loss
are partners in business. Corporations
should accept responsibility for business
decisions regardless of the outcome. With
whom does the responsibility lie to repay
7-Eleven for its blatant disregard for the
community in which it operates? It is most
certainly not the city of San Mateo.

Daily Journal boycott
Editor,
A frequent letter writer wrote Enough
of Dwight Schwab then started the new
year with another letter, Daily Journal
boycott, in the Jan. 1 edition of the Daily
Journal complaining about Schwabs guest
perspectives he will not read your paper
again on Sunday if you publish his
columns on Saturday.
I like to see divergent opinions and thats
one of the reasons I enjoy your paper. I
was appalled to see a bumper-sticker
recently that said, Dont watch FOX
News. It is hard to believe there are peo-
ple with such narrow views. This letter
writer goes on to say that his hero is
Franklin D. Roosevelt. Ive been a regis-
tered Democrat for more than 45 years. I
lived through the Roosevelt New Deal.
Roosevelt did some good things but those
who call Roosevelt a hero are the very old,
stuck in politics of 80 years ago and the
very young, who just dont know any bet-
ter. I dont want another president-for-life.
I dont want the breadlines of the 1930s,
hungry, homeless people and the govern-
ment paying farmers to not plant crops. I
dont want decade-long unemployment that
ran around 18 percent, a president who
tried to pack the Supreme Court with
judges to get his new laws through, one
who sent American citizens of Japanese or
any other descent to internment camps and
one who got us into a calamitous world
war.
The Democrats I know would not sup-
port anything like the Roosevelt New
Deal and they are pretty disappointed with
the direction the country is going now.

Alternative to Sunday boycott
Editor,
I am writing in reference to Ruben
Contreras letter, Daily Journal boycott,
in the Jan. 1 edition of the Daily Journal,
in which he states his intention to boycott
the Daily Journal on any Sunday following
the publication of Dwight Schwabs guest
perspective pieces.
I neither approve nor disapprove of
Schwabs viewpoints. They are his view-
points after all and not mine to approve or
disapprove. I do, though, have the option to
read his ramblings or not. I read his first
two guest perspectives and did not find
them to be interesting, enlightening or
entertaining so I chose not to read them
any further. I suggest to Contreras that
rather than boycotting the Journal he sim-
ply join me in ignoring Schwabs angry
missives.

The national debt
P
resident Obama was the clear winner
in the scal cliff debate and 13th hour
deal that put the nation into the
wringer through the New Years holiday, but
that doesnt mean that victory will be long-
lasting. The House vote put the nal approval
on the legislation to tamp down a conserva-
tive Republican revolt under House Speaker
John Boehner and
required Democrats
to carry the bill
when it was clear he
did not have the
votes. The deal
saved the nation
from turmoil but will
do little to address
the core issue caus-
ing our economic
instability and
that is our spending.
This deal did noth-
ing to contend with our $16.4 trillion debt
that is sure to go even higher without careful
consideration and action.
The scal cliff was set up to force legisla-
tors to contend with that difcult piece of the
puzzle with a hard-and-fast deadline after the
presidential election and before the end of
2012, but really before the 113th Congress
meets for the rst time today. What we got
was new taxes for upper-income earners and
the end of the payroll tax holiday we all
enjoyed for two years. Both will only put a
mere dent in our rising decit. Though
Obama was able to eviscerate Boehners lead-
ership by placing the impact of the cliff
squarely in his hands New Years Day, the
president did not get everything he wanted in
his quest to protect the middle class. His
sacrice of raising the tax rate for those who
make more than $400,000 a year, and couples
who make more than $450,000 a year from
$200,000 and $250,000 is a small one for the
ability to hand responsibility of the crisis to
the Republican-controlled House as time ran
out. And the vote reected that pressure.
What we now face is across-the-board
spending cuts in two months and the risk of
defaulting on our debt obligations for the rst
time ever unless Congress increases the bor-
rowing cap which, as you might remem-
ber, was a discussion in the summer of 2011
that resulted in the nations credit rating being
downgraded. So as we move from crisis to
crisis, we face more strife and, while the
stock market responded with glee Wednesday
at the scal cliff deal the night before, there is
still not the groundwork for economic recov-
ery while our debt is mounting. Interests rate
are promised to be kept low through 2014,
which will aid in limiting the rate of our debt
from going even higher, but there is an
impact to that policy. While it is good for bor-
rowers, it is bad for money holders, particu-
larly the elderly who depend on such interest
income for their survival. Do we really want
to continue to push that demographic into
riskier investments such as the stock market
or even annuities, especially when equities
are so often held hostage to dysfunction in
the nations capitol these days?
The solution, it seems, is one with which
every person in the United States must con-
tend daily living within our means.
Nothing should be off the table. Defense
spending, entitlements, certain tax credits and
personnel are all places in which we might
nd some savings. We have arrived at this
point after about a decade of funding two
wars, a bank and auto industry bailout, a
stimulus program and mass changes to our
health care system that is just now coming
into place with new ways to tap the American
public of its nancial resources. Just as too
much credit card debt wreaks havoc on ones
credit rating and ability to become economi-
cally solvent, this debt we as a nation have
accrued is not only burdening us now, but
will surely prove to be shackles for our future
generations unless, of course, our repre-
sentatives of both parties begin to take this
issue on with the gravitas it deserves.

NEW YORK A two-day rally in
the stock market came to an end
Thursday afternoon when an account of
the Federal Reserves last meeting
revealed a split between bank officials
over how long the Fed should keep buy-
ing bonds to support the economy.
The Dow Jones industrial average
and the Standard & Poors 500 index
treaded water for much of the day, then
slid into the red around 2 p.m. Eastern,
after the Fed released the minutes from
its December meeting.
The Dow ended with a loss of 21.19
points at 13,391.36.
The S&P 500 lost 3.05 points to
1,459.37 and the Nasdaq composite fell
11.70 to 3,100.57.
At last months meeting of the
Federal Reserves policy-making com-
mittee, the central bank pledged to buy
$85 billion of Treasurys and mortgage-
backed bonds and also keep a bench-
mark interest rate near zero until the
unemployment rates drops below 6.5
percent.
On Thursday, the minutes from that
meeting showed Fed officials were
divided over the bond purchases. Some
of its 12 voting members thought they
should continue through this year,
while another group thought they
should be slowed or stopped much ear-
lier. Just a few members saw no need
for a time frame, according to the min-
utes.
Its pretty surprising, said Thomas
Simons, market economist at the invest-
ment bank Jefferies. I think everybody
thought there was broad agreement on
policy, but now it seems like few of
them really wanted to vote for it.
The stock market opened on a weak
note after retailers reported mixed holi-
day sales and as the prospect of a new
budget battle in Congress loomed.
UnitedHealth Group led the Dow lower.
The insurance giants stock fell $2.55 to
$51.99 after analysts at Deutsche Bank
and other firms cut their ratings on the
stock.
Its natural to relax a bit after such a
huge day as yesterday, said Lawrence
Creatura, who manages a small-compa-
ny fund at Federated Investors.
The Dow soared 308 points
Wednesday, its largest point gain since
December 2011. The rally was ignited
after lawmakers passed a bill to avoid a
combination of government spending
cuts and tax increases called the fiscal
cliff.
That deal gave the market a jump
start into the new year. The Dow and
the S&P 500 are already up more than 2
percent.
Were off to a very strong start,
Creatura said. The dominant reason is
the resolution of the fiscal cliff. But
January is usually a strong month, as
investors all shift money into the mar-
ket at the same time. When the calendar
flips, its as if youre allowed to begin
the race anew.
Economists had warned that the full
force of the fiscal cliff could drag the
country into a recession. The law
passed late Tuesday night averted that
outcome for now, but other fiscal
squabbles are likely in the months
ahead. Congress must raise the govern-
ments borrowing limit soon or be
forced to choose between slashing
spending and paying its debts.
In other Thursday trading, prices of
U.S. government bonds fell, sending
their yields higher. The yield on the
benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose
to 1.90 percent from 1.84 percent late
Wednesday, a sign that some bond
traders believe the Fed minutes hinted
at an early end to its bond buying.
Family Dollar Stores sank 13 percent
after reporting earnings that fell short
of analysts projections. The company
also forecast a weaker outlook for the
current period and full year. Family
Dollars stock lost $8.30 to $55.74.
Nordstom Inc. surged 3 percent after
the department-store chain reported
strong holiday sales, especially in the
South and Midwest. Nordstroms stock
was up $1.64 to $55.27.
Stocks fade after Fed split on stimulus
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Thursday on the New
York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market:
NYSE
The TJX Cos. Inc., up $1.41 at $44.58
The owner of the TJ Maxx and Marshalls clothing stores said its December
revenue at stores open at least a year rose 6 percent.
Family Dollar Stores Inc., down $8.30 at $55.74
The discount retailer posted scal rst-quarter results that fell short of Wall
Street expectations.
Nordstrom Inc., up $1.64 at $55.27
The retailer said that a key revenue gure rose 8.6 percent in December
compared with a year earlier, beating analysts expectations.
UniFirst Corp., up $6.17 at $81.87
Shares of the uniform company hit an all-time high after it posted rst-
quarter results that topped Wall Street expectations.
Nasdaq
SunPower Corp., up $2.94 at $9.07
MidAmerican Energy is buying two solar power projects in California
from SunPower, paying up to $2.5 billion for the projects.
Ross Stores Inc., up $4.34 at $58.78
The discount retailer said that a key revenue gure rose 6 percent in
December and it raised its fourth-quarter earnings guidance.
Quiksilver Inc., up 15 cents at $4.53
The surf and skate clothing and shoe company named Andy Mooney as

Hot Topic Inc., up $1.08 at $10.80
The teen retailers sales during the holiday period rose 4 percent from a
year ago, and it will open new stores in 2013.
Big movers
Retailers report higher December sales
NEW YORK A last-minute surge in spending saved the
holiday shopping season.
Major retailers including Costco, Gap and Nordstrom on
Thursday reported better-than-expected revenue in December.
That comes as a relief for stores, which can make up to 40 per-
cent of their annual revenue in the last two months of the year.
Americans spent cautiously early in the season as the
Northeast recovered from Superstorm Sandy. Then they
held back because of fears that the U.S. economy would
fall off the scal cliff, triggering massive budget cuts and
tax increases that would have amounted to less money in
their pockets. But shoppers spent more freely in the nal
shopping days of the year.
Twenty retailers reported that revenue at stores open at least
a year an indicator of a stores health rose an average of
4.5 percent in December compared with the same month a
year ago, according to the International Council of Shopping
Centers. Thats on the high end of the expected range of 4 per-
cent to 4.5 percent. Only a small group of stores that represent
about 13 percent of the $2.4 trillion U.S. retail industry report
monthly revenue, but the data offers a snapshot of consumer
spending.
Al-Jazeera pays $500M for Current TV
LOS ANGELES Al-Jazeera has a growing reputation for
serious news gathering and its reporters have won some of the
biggest awards in journalism. What the Pan-Arab news net-
work doesnt have is a signicant presence in the U.S.
Thats about to change now that Al-Jazeera is spending
$500 million to acquire Current TV, the left-leaning cable
news network co-founded by former Vice President Al Gore.
The deal gives Al-Jazeera access to about 50 million homes.
As part of an expansion, the network is promising to hire more
journalists and double the number of U.S. news bureaus it has.
Still, some big questions remain for Al-Jazeera, which is
owned by the government of Qatar: How will it stand out in a
crowded eld of cable TV news channels? And how can it
overcome an image that was cemented for many Americans
when it gave voice to Osama Bin Laden in the years follow-
ing the 9/11 terrorist attacks?
Lunch meat maker Hormel
orders up Skippy sandwich
NEW YORK Hormel Foods apparently has a hankering
for a peanut butter and bacon sandwich. The company prima-
rily known for Spam and other cured, smoked and deli meats
said Thursday that its buying Skippy, the countrys No. 2
peanut butter brand, in its biggest-ever acquisition.
Skippy, which was introduced in 1932 and is a staple in
American pantries, is intended to increase Hormels presence
in the center of the supermarket where nonperishable foods
are sold. It also gives the Austin, Minn.-based company a
stronger footing in international markets. Skippy is sold in
about 30 countries and is the leading peanut butter brand in
China, where Hormel has been trying to build up its Spam
business for the past several years.
Business briefs
By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON The U.S. job mar-
ket showed resilience in three reports
Thursday, suggesting it may able to
withstand a federal budget battle that
threatens more economic uncertainty in
coming months.
A survey showed private hiring
increased last month, while layoffs
declined and applications for unemploy-
ment benets stayed near a four-year
low. The data led some economists to
raise their forecasts for December job
growth one day before the government
releases its closely watched employment
report.
The job market held firm in
December despite the intensifying scal
cliff negotiations, said Mark Zandi,
chief economist at Moodys Analytics.
Businesses even became somewhat
more aggressive in their hiring at year
end.
The most encouraging sign came from
payroll provider ADP. Its monthly
employment survey showed businesses
added 215,000 jobs last month, the most
in 10 months and much higher than
Novembers total of 148,000.
Economists tend to approach the ADP
survey with some skepticism because it
has diverged sharply at times from the
governments job gures. The Labor
Department releases its employment
report Friday.
But some economists were also hope-
ful after seeing businesses were less
inclined to cut jobs last month.
Outplacement rm Challenger, Gray
& Christmas said that the number of
announced job cuts fell 43 percent in
December from November, and overall
planned layoffs in 2012 fell to the lowest
level since 1997.
The decline in layoffs coincided with a
drop last month in the number of people
who applied for unemployment benets.
The four-week average was little
changed at 360,000 last week. Thats
only slightly above the previous weeks
359,750, which was the lowest since
March 2008.
Most economists expect the Labor
Department report will show employers
added about 150,000 jobs last month and
the unemployment rate stayed at 7.7 per-
cent.
Some economists saw potential for
stronger gains after seeing Thursdays
data.
Job market resilient despite budget fight
By Tom Krisher
and Dee-Ann Durbin
DETROIT A steadily improving
economy and strong December sales
lifted the American auto industry to its
best performance in ve years in 2012,
especially for Volkswagen and Japanese-
brand vehicles, and experts say the next
year should be even better.
Carmakers on Thursday announced
their nal gures, which totaled 14.5
million 13 percent better than 2011.
More than three years after the federal
governments $62 billion auto-industry
bailout, Americans had plenty of incen-
tive to buy new cars and trucks in the
year just ended.
Unemployment eased. Home sales
and prices rose. And the average age of a
car topped 11 years in the U.S., a record
that spurred people to trade in old vehi-
cles. Banks made that easier by offering
low interest rates and greater access to
loans, even for buyers with lousy credit.
The U.S. light vehicle sales market
continues to be a bright spot in the
tremulous global environment, said Jeff
Schuster, senior vice president of fore-
casting for LMC Automotive, a Detroit-
area industry forecasting rm.
Sales were far better than the bleak
days after the U.S. economy tanked and
GM and Chrysler sought bankruptcy
protection. Back then, sales fell to a 30-
year low of 10.4 million, and they are
still far short of the recent peak of
around 17 million set in 2005.
The best part of 2012 came at the end,
when special deals on pickup trucks and
the usual round of sparkling holiday ads
helped December sales jump 9 percent
to more than 1.3 million, according to
Autodata Corp. That translates to an
annual rate of 15.4 million, making
December the strongest month of the
year.
Volkswagen led all major automakers
with sales up a staggering 35 percent,
led by the redesigned Passat midsize
sedan. VW sold more than ve times as
many Passats last year as it did in 2011.
Economy and year-end sales help auto industry

WASHINGTON Two health care
unions are joining forces in a move that
could threaten a powerful rivals domi-
nance and fuel a new round of labor ten-
sions.

Westmoor too much for Hillsdale
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The weakness of the Westmoor
boys basketball team is also its
greatest strength. What the Rams
lack in size, they more than make up
with intensity, hard play and a 100
miles per hour pace.
All were on display Thursday
night as the Rams went to San
Mateo and took down Hillsdale 61-
49.
Because were not the biggest
team in the world, we have to work
that much harder. Any time we hit
the oor, we have to work harder
than everyone else does, said
Westmoor coach Herb Yaptinchay.
Mismatches can work both ways.
For us, its the size (issue), but [the
opposition] has to guard us, too. All
ve of our guys have to be able to
play all ve positions.
Thats not quite true. Westmoor
(10-1 overall) doesnt have a center
or even really forwards. What
Yaptinchay puts on the court is ve
guards and all of them can handle
the ball, penetrate, shoot, drive, run
the oor and yes rebound.
The Rams actually out-rebounded
Hillsdale (7-4) 42-32.
Hillsdale coach Brett Stevenson
said he purposely did not have his
team attack the offensive glass
because he did not want to get
burned repeatedly by Westmoors
transition game.
We definitely didnt hit the
offensive glass as hard as we could,
but I dont want to give up easy
layups (going the other way),
Stevenson said.
Not that the Knights completely
shut down the Rams running game,
which got their share of transition
buckets. Hillsdale tried to play that
way as well and while it worked at
times, the Knights didnt appear to
look real comfortable doing so.
We just didnt knock down
shots, Stevenson said.
Credit Hillsdale, however. Every
time Westmoor threatened to blow
the Knights out of the gym, they
responded. With the Rams holding a
5-4 lead early in the rst quarter,
Westmoor went on a 9-0 run to take
a 14-4 advantage. Stevenson called
a timeout and when the Knights
came back on the oor, they n-
ished the quarter with a 10-4 run

The Serra soccer team, after drop-
ping its first two West Catholic
Athletic League games, was looking
to start the new year on the right
foot when the Padres hosted
Riordan Thursday afternoon.
The Crusaders proved to be the
perfect tonic for what ailed the
Padres as Serra dominated in a 5-0
win.
Were looking for any momen-
tum we can nd, said Serra coach
Jeff Panos. This was a much-need-
ed win for us.
Riordan has been at the bottom of
the WCAL standings for the last
several years, but Panos was wary
of them. So much so he told the
team before the opening kickoff to
play the game like it was the biggest
of the year. He remembers the last

It feels like every new season, you can start
off a girls soccer preview of the Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division the exact same
way tighten upyour cleats and adjust your
shin guards, ladies and gentlemen, its going
to be a wild ride.
The non-league portion of the eight teams
that make up the Bay is coming to a close
and the real deal begins next week with
Carlmont High School as your reigning divi-
sion champions. And as of right now, with a
record of 4-1-1, it looks like the Scots arent
about to let anyone come and take the crown
from them.
They have this attitude about them, said
Carlmont coach Tina Doss said of her play-
ers. Everyone has to out-play us to win
because were good. I love it. You have to be
able to walk on the eld knowing youre a
solid team and having condence in each
other.
[This year] its more of an expectation
because its pretty much the same team, give-
or-take two of three girls. So, the girls who
are returning are like, OK, were top dogs.
Everyone else has to take us out, right?
Were in a different position this year.
The Scots will eld a veteran team this
season with only ve players lost to gradua-
tion. And even with a slew of injuries (Doss
counted seven of them), the Scots are playing
like a complete and balanced team so far.
They know we dont have any weakness-
es but we also know that we dont have any
superstars so they have to play for each
other, Doss said.
The Scots took a hit with the loss of cen-
terback Lauren Konrad to an ACL injury, but
they return PAL All-League players in
Amelia Jacobs and Mary Cochran. The
return of Melissa Wood, who missed last sea-
son with a hand injury, is huge for the Scots,
Doss said. Maritza Gomez, when she comes
back healthy, will anchor the back line. And
the rest of Scots Nation is anxiously awaiting
thumbs up or thumbs down news on Soha
Said, the sophomore striker who came up
huge for Carlmont last season but might need
surgery that will knock her for out for while.
Doss knows the task of repeating wont be
easy. And right now, shes got her mind set
on one team: Woodside.
I think Woodside will be the team to beat
this year, Doss said. I really do.
And Jose Navarette, Wildcat head coach,

Oregon runs past K-State
By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA San
Francisco 49ers placekicker David
Akers said Thursday he received
death threats on Twitter and closed
the account.
Akers received the death threats
late last month, but is unsure at the
number of posts directed at him
because he did not go further back
on his account to see how many.
It was Twitter stuff. I got off
there, so I wont deal with that any-
more, Akers said Thursday.
Once he initially saw them, he
reported it to team and NFL securi-
ty personnel. The 49ers said they
were aware of the situation, and so
was the league.
I didnt go back and look any
further, Akers said. I hadnt been
on there for weeks, so I didnt go
back and look at any old ones after
that. I dont take anything lightly.
You really cant. I went through the
proper people and what they felt like
was safe.
It was Akers last season who came
to the defense of teammate Kyle
Williams when he faced threats fol-
lowing two costly fumbles in the
NFC championship game, a 20-17
overtime loss to the New York
Giants.
The 38-year-old Akers also
revealed Thursday when newly
signed kicker Billy Cundiff prac-
ticed alongside him in what has
become a competition that he
underwent double hernia surgery
last February following his All-Pro
season.
Akers then went to see the same
doctor in Philadelphia after a Nov.
25 game at New Orleans this season
to have injections after the area
ared up when he fell during prac-
tice working on kickoffs.
Unlike 2011, when he made 44 of
52 eld goals, Akers has been in a
slump this season. He is 29 for 42 on
eld goals.
He missed overtime kicks twice
against the Rams this season, with
the 49ers losing at St. Louis and
tying at home. Akers had a eld goal
blocked in a loss at Seattle on Dec.
23 that Richard Sherman returned
90 yards for a touchdown.
He missed two more wide left in a
home victory against Arizona in the
regular-season finale last Sunday
before bouncing back to make two.
Akers began the season by mak-
ing a 63-yarder in a season-opening
win at Green Bay in which the ball
bounced off the crossbar and
through the uprights.
Its a game, its a business, its
my career, but its not who I am,
Akers said of football. I would def-
initely give that 63-yarder back to
make the two kicks against St.
Louis. People talk about my
demeanor being down, listen, I take
my job seriously.
Akers says he got death
threats through Twitter THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GLENDALE, Ariz. Oregons DeAnthony Thomas
raced 94 yards for a touchdown on the opening kickoff.
The fth-ranked Ducks barely looked back after that.
Triggered by Thomas attention-grabbing return,
Oregon raced past No. 7 Kansas State 35-17 Thursday
night at the Fiesta Bowl in what may have been coach
Chip Kellys nal game with the Ducks.
Teams that had that national title aspirations end on
the same day, Oregon and Kansas State ended up in the
desert for a marquee matchup billed as a battle of styles:
The fast-ying Ducks vs. the execution-is-everything
Wildcats.
With Kelly reportedly talking to several NFL teams,
Oregon (12-1) was too much for Kansas State and its
Heisman Trophy nalist, Collin Klein. The Ducks tried
to turn the game into a track meet, and it worked from
the start.
Thomas followed his before-everyone-sat-down kick-
off return with a 23-yard touchdown catch, nishing
with 195 total yards.
Kenjon Barner ran for 143 yards on 31 carries and
scored on a 24-yard touchdown pass from Marcus
Mariota in the second quarter. Mariota later scored on a
2-yard run in the third quarter, capped by an obscure 1-
point safety that went in the Ducks favor.
Even Oregons defense got into the act, intercepting
Klein twice and holding him to 30 yards on 13 carries.
Whether Kelly leaves Eugene or not, he had a good
run, leading the Ducks to four straight trips to BCS
bowls, the last two wins.
Last years Fiesta Bowl was an offensive esta, with
Oklahoma State outlasting Stanford 41-38 in overtime.
The 2013 version was an upgrade: Nos. 4 and 5 in the
BCS, two of the nations best offenses, dynamic players
and superbly successful coaches on both sides.
Oregon has become the standard for go-go-go football
under Kelly, its eet of Ducks making those shiny hel-
mets green like Christmas tree bulbs for the Fiesta
Bowl and ashy uniforms blur across the grassy
landscape.
Their backeld of Thomas, Barner and Mariota made
up a three-headed monster of momentum, each one
capable of turning a single play into a scoring drive of
60 seconds or less.
Mariota has been the show-running leader, a question
mark before the season who ably ran Oregons high-
octane offense as the rst freshman quarterback to start
for the Ducks since Danny ONeil in 1991.
Oregon won the Rose Bowl for the rst time in 95
years last season and was in position for a spot in the
BCS title game this year before losing a heartbreaker to
Stanford on Nov. 17.
Thomas offered the rst ash of speed, crossing into
the end zone like a sprinter taking the nish-line tape
after picking up a couple of blocks and racing past
Oregons bench for a touchdown on the opening kickoff.
The Ducks, are they are apt to do, went for 2 on the
point-after and converted on a trick play to go up 8-0 in
the games rst 12 seconds.
It was the second straight day a BCS bowl began with
a quick strike; Louisville returned an interception for a
touchdown against Florida on the rst play of the Sugar
Bowl Wednesday night.
Thomas hit the Wildcats (11-2) again late in the rst
quarter, breaking a couple of tackles and dragging three
defenders into the end zone for a catch-and-run TD that
put the Ducks up 15-0.
Its nothing new for Oregons sophomore sensation:
He had 314 total yards and two long touchdown runs in
the 2012 Rose Bowl. The Ducks are used to it, too, after
averaging more than 50 points per game.
And they kept ying.
Oregon followed a missed 40-yard eld goal by
Kansas States Anthony Cantele by unleashing one of its
blink-and-youll-miss-it scoring drives late in the sec-
ond quarter. Moving 77 yards in 46 seconds, the Ducks
went up 22-10 at halftime after Mariota hit Barner on
24-yard TD pass.
LAS VEGAS San Francisco Giants
pitcher Sergio Romo is facing a misdemeanor
summons in Las Vegas alleging he violated
airport rules after being
detained by authorities at
McCarran International
Airport on New Years
Day.
The federal
Transportation Security
Administration issued a
statement Thursday saying
Romo failed to provide
proper identication at a
document checkpoint and
engaged in a dispute with TSA ofcers about
8:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Officer Jose Hernandez said Las Vegas
police issued the 29-year-old Romo a sum-
mons to appear in Las Vegas Justice Court.
His court date wasnt immediately available.
I would like to sincerely apologize about
the recent events at the Las Vegas airport
which brought negative attention to the San
Francisco Giants organization and its fans,
Romo said in a statement released by the team
Thursday night. I love and respect the Giants,
my teammates and our fans and promise to
conduct myself in the future in the San
Francisco Giants Way.
The incident was rst reported by KGO-TV
in San Francisco with a photo showing Romo
attending a Dec. 30 party in Las Vegas.
TSA spokesman Nico Melendez in Los
Angeles says the security of other travelers
wasnt compromised.

time the Padres hosted the Crusaders last sea-
son.
We were down 3-1 15 minutes into the
game, Panos said. They have scored against
everybody this year.
No need to worry Thursday as Serra (1-2
WCAL, 6-3 overall) scored early and often. The
Padres could have scored even more, outshoot-
ing the Crusaders 35-3, with 23 shots on frame.
The Padres used their speed up top and pinpoint
passing to throw attacking wave after attacking
wave against the Crusaders goal.
After a couple of near misses in the rst cou-
ple of minutes, the Padres cracked the seal on
the Riordan goal in the fth minute. Michael
Neher received a pass near the right sideline
and carried the ball upeld. As he ran parallel to
the Riordan penalty box, he slotted a pass to the
top of the box where Tim Trzeciak was sta-
tioned, unmarked. Trzeciak quickly icked a
shot on goal and found the far left corner of the
goal.
The game settled down after the goal, as
Serras chances dried up a bit. But a lucky
bounce that resulted in a Padres goal seemed to
re-ignite the Serra attack. In the 20th minute,
the ball pinballed around mideld before it
popped toward the Riordan side of the eld.
Serra Nick Schnabel quickly pounced on the
loose ball and broke in on goal, with only the
goalkeeper to beat. Schnabel calmly went
around the charging goalkeeper and slotted a
shot into the empty net to put the Padres up 2-
nil.
Nine minutes later, Schnabel was at it again,
scoring his second goal in similar fashion to his
rst. This time, Trezeciak fed a perfect pass to
Schnabel, who, with a defender on his shoulder,
broke in on the Riordan goalkeeper. Again,
Schnabel deftly maneuvered around the keeper
and found the back on the net to put Serra up 3-
zip at halftime.
Hes our catalyst, Panos said of Schnabel.
Hes very poised in front of the goal.
The only question left was whether or not
Schnabel could complete the hat trick. He had
several chances, but could not seal the deal.
The rest of his teammates, however, contin-
ued the assault on the scoreboard. Four minutes
into the second half, Serra made it 4-0. A ball
was cleared toward mideld from deep in
Serras defensive end. The ball took a bounce
near mideld and Neher ran onto the ball,
touched it forward with the top of his shoulder
and once again had a breakaway on goal.
He too went around the charging Riordan goal-
keeper and as he neared the end line, icked a
shot with the outside of his right foot that rolled
into the goal.
A number of chances and near-misses later,
the Padres capped the scoring ve minutes from
time. Joef Seemayer sent a corner kick into the
penalty box, where Tony Mongiello headed a
shot on frame. The Riordan goalkeeper made a
reaction save, but merely knocked the ball
down. David Tillack was there to clean up and
deposited the rebound into the back of the net.
The Serra offense was perked up by the
return of playmaking midfielder Antoine
Martel, who was appearing in just his second
game of the season after missing the rst seven
with injury. He was picking apart the Riordan
defense with his passing and Panos is anticipat-
ing what the Padres offense will look like once
Martel is in top form.
Im excited to see what he can do, Panos
said. With him in the middle, it allows me to
move someone else outside and all the pieces
start to fall into place.

People talk about my demeanor being
down, listen, I take my job seriously, Akers
said. I feel when I miss kicks I let the team,
the organization, the fans down. I take it per-
sonal. I guess sometimes I care too much
about it. Thats just kind of who I am. I have
no problem talking to yall and being real. Its
been disappointing. Im disappointed in
myself. Theres nothing I can really do about
it now. I cant go back in the past. Try today to
get better and gure out why theyre not going
between the poles. If I had an answer I would
have xed it a long time ago.
The 32-year-old Cundiff, who missed a
potential tying 32-yard eld goal in the clos-
ing seconds of the AFC championship game
that sent New England to the Super Bowl last
season instead of the Baltimore Ravens, con-
nected from as far out as 55 yards Thursday
afternoon while using a portable holder. He
was 10 of 12 overall, including 7 for 8 with
Andy Lee holding.
Akers went 16 for 21 in an unofcial media
count during the open portion of practice.
While Akers and Cundiff went about their
jobs with no time for small talk, general man-
ager Trent Baalke briey chatted with Cundiff
as the newcomer walked down the eld to
work on kickoffs. At one moment, Harbaugh
walked nearly a full eld to shag footballs
under the uprights.
Akers and Cundiff know each other well,
having played for the same coach and been in
the 2010 Pro Bowl together.
Neither kicker knows whats next, or when
he might learn who has won the job if any-
body, that is. Harbaugh might go into next
weekends game without having named a
starter.
For me, it has been laid out very clearly,
Cundiff said. Its, go out and practice well.
Dont worry about anything else. Just give us
your best. Its the head coachs decision, man-
agements decision, on whos going to kick.
So, Im not going to worry about anything
else. Im just going to go out there and try to
have the best practices I can.
Akers twice missed wide right from 43
yards and again on a 48-yard try, while also
coming up short from 52 and 53 yards.
For a franchise determined to take the next
step and reach this years Super Bowl after
coming so close last season, Harbaugh is seri-
ous about nding a kicker he can count on
even if his choice of Cundiff is puzzling to
some who remember his devastating miss for
Harbaughs big brother, John, and the Ravens
a year ago.
Yet Cundiff tried out once in late November
and again this week, and got his chance. He
had seven tryouts in all over the recent months
before landing his new job at last.
Akers, who made 44 of 52 attempts in his
sensational 2011 season, is just 29 for 42 this
year. The six-time Pro Bowler and 15-year
veteran is only 7 for 13 from 40-49 yards. He
did connect from 63 yards in a season-open-
ing win at Green Bay when the ball bounced
off the crossbar in through the uprights.
He missed overtime kicks twice against the
Rams this season, with the 49ers losing at St.
Louis and tying at home.
I would denitely give that 63-yarder back
to make the two kicks against St. Louis,
Akers said.
49ERS
cant help but be excited about his teams
prospects given their 5-0-1 start to the year.
Were a young team, but at the same time
were an experienced team, he said. Were
scoring goals which always brings a smile to
my face because last year it was really tough
to get goals.
The Wildcats arent just winning games
theyre at our dominating them. So far in six
contests, Woodside has outscored opponents
22-1. A year after going the entire season with
only one players with three or more goals, the
Wildcats, six games in, already have ve.
I wasnt expecting that wed be nding the
net as consistently as we are, but Im not
going to complain about it, Navarette said.
But more than win games, its really pleasing
to see them move the ball and see them play at
the level that theyre capable of playing.
And theyre capable of a lot, given the tal-
ent. Keep in mind as well, the Wildcats only
have two seniors on the 2013 roster which
makes them even scarier if you think ahead to
2014.
One of those is reigning All-Daily Journal
winger Randall Stafford, who gives the
Wildcats tremendous width. Up front,
Navarette is playing with three forwards, with
Lauren Holland tallying six goals thus far and
16 total points. Shes getting offensive help
from the likes of Heather Seybert, Madison
Holland, Mackenzie Person and Erika
Negrete. On defense, Gianna Rosati is the
nest centerback in the league.
Shes a great leader back there and just
seems to be in total command, Navarette
said. I think were where we should be. We
just want to keep working hard.
Work hard they must because, while the
Scots are the reigning champions, the Bay
Division, now more than ever, is known for its
parity.
Aragon is a reigning CCS co-champion fol-
lowing an inspired effort against Archbishop
Mitty. But new head coach Nick Dye faces the
task of replacing two-time CCS-winning
coach Will Colglazier and doing so after grad-
uating a ton of talent including the 2012
Daily Journal Girls Soccer Player of the Year
in Rachel Killigrew and almost the entire
Aragon defense that was capable of dominat-
ing games.
The Dons have struggled thus far, albeit
against talented CCS-caliber teams in Los
Altos (2-0 loss), St. Ignatius (4-0 loss) and
Los Gatos (5-2 loss).
Burlingame sits at 3-2-1 and is hoping to
cash in on a little better karma. After strug-
gling terribly with injuries last season, the
odds suggest that the Panthers will be health-
ier in 2013. They have the benet of the
leagues best midelder in Lena Mendelson.
Rachel Byrd will have to step up for the
Panthers and in the back, Greer Chrisman has
proven to be solid. Burlingame also welcomes
All-League Ocean Division First Team mem-
ber Aleja Cretcher, who transferred from
Ocean champ Hillsdale High School and will
give the Panthers great speed and width.
Speaking of the Knights, on top of losing
Cretcher, the non-league portion of the sched-
ule has proven tough. Hillsdale sits at 0-4-1.
But, they arent without talented players.
Kayla Coleman returns after a breakthrough
sophomore season. Lexie Gordon is the reign-
ing Ocean Defender of the Year shes on
the 2013 roster along with second teamer
Jennifer Eberle. The Knights appeared to have
gone even younger in 2013 half their roster
is made up of under classmen.
Speaking of youth, San Mateo played with
its fair share of underclassmen last year.
Carlos Bover, who takes over for Daire
OConnor, still lists players like Brenda
Flores, Kelly Ghiorso, Katie Wischer and
Tarryn OMahoney on his roster all of
them played a role in the Bearcats staying
competitive last year despite struggling to get
the ball into the goal.
A team that had no problems scoring last
year was Menlo-Atherton. And that will be its
biggest task this season how do you
replace 86 points with the departure of
Jennifer Kirst and Meryssa Thompson?
Well, you turn to the likes of Cassie
Stansberry and Elizabeth Cruz, who have car-
ried the Bears to a 2-2-2 mark in non-league.
Dana Gorick is scoring goals for M-A as well.
The pressure will be heavier on returning
All-League goal keeper Caitlyn Lanigan
the best goalkeeper outside of Aragons
Ashley Lentz last season.
The darkhorse in all of this might be Terra
Nova. The Tigers are off to a 4-1-0 start,
outscoring their opponents almost 2 to 1 in the
process.
There is no weak team in our league any-
more, Doss said. There really isnt.
I tell my team, three points from Carlmont
are as valuable as three points from any other
teams, Navarette said. These teams are real-
ly tough. I think thats why we do well in CCS
we play in such a tough league, then when
we do get to CCS were well prepared because
we come from a talented league.

No full talks in NHL labor fight
NEW YORK Any momentum
gained from a long night of negotia-
tions between the NHL and the
players association seemed to have
been lost Thursday when the sides
remained mostly apart.
A meeting that Commissioner
Gary Bettman said would begin at
10 a.m. EST didnt start until sever-
al hours later, and then ended quick-
ly.
That one hour of talks centered on
the reporting of hockey-related rev-
enues by teams, and both sides sign-
ing off on the gures at the end of
the scal year. The problem was
resolved.
An NHL spokesman announced
shortly before 9 p.m. that federal
mediator Scot Beckenbaugh was
still working with the sides, but they
would not get back to the bargaining
table before Friday morning.
The players association didnt
immediately comment.
The key issues that are still threat-
ening the hockey season werent
addressed early in the day, but a
small group of players and other
union staff returned to the NHL
ofce shortly before 6 p.m., to hold
another meeting regarding the con-

That wrapped up about two hours
later.
Union head Donald Fehr didnt
take part in either of the two ses-
sions Thursday.
cutting their decit to 18-14 going
into the second quarter.
Westmoor pushed the lead back
to 10 on back-to-back dribble-drive
penetrations from Errol Fernandez,
but the Knights responded with
back-to-back 3-pointers from
Michael Ontonari and Angelo
Bautista. By halftime, Westmoor
was holding a 30-25 lead.
The Rams maintained its lead
throughout the third quarter as
every time the Knights made a run,
Westmoor responded. Hillsdale cut
the Rams lead to two points, 32-30,
after Bautista hit 2 of 3 free throws,
but Westmoor pushed its lead back
to seven at the end of the third quar-
ter.
Baustista tried to shoot the
Knights back into the game, con-
necting on a pair of 3-pointers to cut
the Rams lead to just one, 41-40,
but over a three-minute period, the
Rams pushed their lead back to 10,
55-45, with 3:08 to play. Westmoor
then went 8 for 8 at the free throw
line down the stretch to ice the
game.
It was one of those games where
we battled to get ahead and they
(Hillsdale) battled back,
Yaptinchay said.
Bautista led all scorers with 23
points, but was the only Knight to
score in double gures. Westmoor
was paced by Fernandez, who
scored a team-high 17, and Wai Min
who had 12.
But the Rams are proving they are
more than just a two-man team.
John Mayuga stepped up with 14
points, while Eric Liang knocked
down a pair of 3s on his way to
eight points.
[Fernandez and Min] are huge.
You look at our stats, they do the
majority of our scoring and a major-
ity of our rebounding. What makes
us dangerous is our third and fourth
guy. If it was just [Fernandez and
Min], it would be easier to take
them away, Yaptinchay said.
[Mayuga and Liang], those are the
guys that make us a dangerous
team. Wai and Errol can put up big
numbers, but John and Eric can as
well.

Sports brief
Promised Land
doesnt dig deep
By Christy Lemire
Promised Land offers an experience
thats alternately amusing and frustrat-
ing, full of impassioned earnestness as
well as saggy sections.
Director Gus Van Sant has the chal-
lenging task of taking the divisive, high-
tech practice of fracking and trying to
make it not just human but cinematic.
Working from a script by co-stars Matt
Damon and John Krasinski, based on a
story by Dave Eggers, he succeeds in
ts and starts.
The impoverished small town thats
the tales setting, a place in need of the
kind of economic rejuvenation that
extracting natural gas could provide, is
full of folksy folks whose interactions
with the main characters dont always
ring true. Promised Land has its heart
on its sleeve and its pro-environment
message is quite clear, but its in the
looser and more ambiguous places that
the lm actually works.
Damon, collaborating with Van Sant
for the third time as both screenwriter
and actor (following Gerry and the
Oscar-winning Good Will Hunting),
stars as Steve Butler, a salesman travel-
ing the country on behalf of a bland
behemoth of an energy corporation.
Having grown up on an Iowa farm
himself and seen how an eco-
nomic downturn can devas-
tate a small town, Steve is a
likable everyman who
seems genuinely invest-
ed in what hes selling.
But hes also a prag-
matist, as evidenced
by the playfully cyn-
ical give-and-take
he enjoys with his
partner, Sue, played
by a dry, sharp
F r a n c e s
McDormand.
Famous for his
efficiency in per-
suading rural resi-
dents to sell their
land for the drilling
rights, Steve runs into
Unrealistic treatment of
drilling, fracking in movie
By Michael Rubinkam
ALLENTOWN, Pa. The new movie
Promised Land digs into the erce
national debate over fracking, the tech-
nique thats generated a boom in U.S.
natural gas production while also stoking
controversy over its possible impact on
the environment and human health.
Written by and starring Matt Damon
and John Krasinski, the lm comes at an
opportune time for a big-screen explo-
ration of the issues surrounding the shale
gas revolution, with cheap natural gas
transforming the nations
energy landscape and frack-
ing now a household word.
But viewers shouldnt neces-
sarily expect a realistic treatment of
drilling and fracking. Its not that
kind of lm.
Lending an air of authenticity, the
movie was shot in Pennsylvania,
where thousands of wells have been
drilled and fracked in recent years as
industry heavyweights pull huge vol-
umes of gas from the sprawling
Marcellus Shale, a rock formation deep

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
ANTIBODIES: THE WORKS OF FER-
NANDO AND HUMBERTO CAMPANA
1989-2009 AT THE PALM SPRINGS ART
MUSEUM. Brothers Fernando and
Humberto Campana consider themselves
designers rather than artists because they cre-
ate functional pieces such as furniture and
jewelry, often using found materials, includ-
ing paper, wire, plastic, fabric, felt, carpet,
rubber and wood. Humberto, an artist with a
law degree, and Fernando, a trained architect,
have worked together in So Paulo, Brazil,
since 1989. The Campanas call their process
a irt with materials since the material dic-
tates the form and function of their creations,
which are inuenced by their native Brazils
unusual natural forms, the street life of the
slums and contemporary art, lm and music.
Antibodies: The Works of Fernando and
Humberto Campana 1989-2009, currently
installed at the Palm Springs Art Museum,
includes more than 70 pieces of their furni-
ture, plus prototypes, experiments, models
and artwork by the Campanas, alongside
lms, interviews, photographs and objects
collected by the designers. Among the pieces
on display are the Campanass Banquete arm-
chairs, created by hand in small series in their
So Paulo-based studio, and their Favela and
Vermelha armchairs, both produced by the
Italian furniture manufacturer Edra. The
Vermelha armchair contains 500 meters of
rope with an acrylic core, covered in cotton,
and woven around a metal frame to form the
design and the padding. These pieces, as well
as their inatable table and the Plastico Bolha
easy chair made of bubble wrap, have become
icons of contemporary design.
The Campanass career coincides with the
international success of unique, custom-made
and artistic designs, which often go directly
from the makers studio to private or public
collections without ever being subjected to
regular use. In the 20 years since they began
their practice, they have built an international
following through worldwide exhibitions,
with their work collected by major museums,
including MoMA and the London Design
Museum.
MUSEUM FACTS. The Palm Springs Art
Museum, designed by E. Stewart Williams, is
the focal point of a 150,000-square-foot com-
plex that serves as the center of the Coachella
Valley art community. Focusing on Modern
and Contemporary painting and sculpture by
artists such as Henry Moore, Robert
Motherwell and Helen Frankenthaler, the
Museum includes works by West Coast artists
Sam Francis, Robert Arneson, Mark di Suvero
and Edward Ruscha. Additional areas of focus
are Art Glass by Dale Chihuly, Karen
LaMonte and William Morris and Western
American Art by Thomas Moran, Charles
Russell and Frederic Remington. Architecture
holdings include the Albert Frey Archive and
Frey House II, the E. Stewart Williams
Architecture Archive and a drawings collec-
tion with works by architects Richard Neutra,
Frank Gehry and Daniel Libeskind. The
Museum, located at 101 Museum Drive, Palm
Springs, has two outdoor sculpture gardens, a
gift shop and a caf. Open every day except
Mondays and major holidays. Free admission
every Thursday evening from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

below the surface of the Earth.
But Promised Land spends little time
explaining how energy companies actually
go about pulling natural gas out of the
ground, and what little explanation the movie
does provide is simply not very accurate.
The Focus Features release instead con-
centrates on another aspect of the drilling
boom the battle for hearts and minds as
gas companies seek to lease land for drilling
while environmentalists warn of the perils of
punching a bunch of holes in the ground.
Bewildered landowners, meanwhile, are left
to sort out the competing claims and coun-
terclaims.
Its potentially fertile territory. In real life,
drilling companies injected millions of dol-
lars into moribund local economies, trans-
forming sleepy villages in Pennsylvania and
other states into boomtowns almost
overnight. But the industry also sowed divi-
sion, pitting neighbor against neighbor as
some residents complained of ruined water
wells and other environmental degradation.
Many others, judging by recent public opin-
ion surveys, heralded the prosperity that
drilling creates and the abundant homegrown
energy it produces.
Even here, though, the movie seeks to
entertain more than enlighten, with an
implausible plot twist undermining what
could have been a realistic portrayal of life as
it is really lived in the gas fields.
Promised Land follows Steve Butler
(Damon), a gas company salesman who
shows up in an economically struggling
small town in Pennsylvania that happens to
sit atop a vast reserve of gas. His task: To get
residents to sign on the dotted line, promis-
ing them theyll become instant millionaires
once the gas starts flowing from the shale
underneath their land. Standing in his way is
Dustin Noble (Krasinski), an environmental
activist determined to convince townsfolk
they dont want what the driller is selling.
Damons character repeatedly points out
that drilling has brought new life to strug-
gling towns, calls U.S. reliance on foreign
sources of energy insane, and defends
fracking as a technology with a proven track
record of safety. And he seems to believe it
himself, at least initially.
But the film leaves little doubt as to where
its sympathies lie.
Nobodys going to be disingenuous here.
If you were expecting a pro-fracking movie
from Matt Damon, you were probably living
in an alternate universe, Focus Features
CEO James Schamus said with a laugh.
But he insisted that Promised Land ulti-
mately is not a movie about a highly techni-
cal process in which drillers use water, sand
and chemicals to break apart gas-bearing
shale rock and it should not be judged by
that standard.
The filmmakers didnt necessarily set out
to make, nor did they make, some kind of
civics lesson or propaganda movie about
fracking, Schamus said.
Rather, he said, the movie is a Frank
Capra-style yarn about working-class iden-
tity, about aspiration, about money and what
it does to you, with fracking as the vehicle
that propels the story and a healthy dose of
corporate villainy.
Krasinski says he and Damon tried to
avoid too much of a political message. We
really wanted to tell a story about communi-
ty, about these small towns that are going
through very real situations right now, espe-
cially with the economic situation as it is, he
told the AP.
Yet industry groups and environmental
activists alike see Promised Land very
much as a message film about the perils of
the gas boom, and are reacting accordingly.
Drillers who mounted a furious rebuttal
of Gasland, the 2010 award-winning, anti-
drilling HBO documentary began pushing
back against Promised Land months ago
while simultaneously noting that it is indeed
a work of fiction.
Were taking it seriously, obviously, and
well be ready to engage folks who may have
questions about the development process as a
result of the film. But Im not sure anyones
losing a lot of sleep over it at this point,
emailed Chris Tucker of Energy In Depth, an
industry public relations group.
They may have Matt Damon and Jim
from The Office on their side, but weve got
the facts, the science, the consensus of regu-
lators, and a 65-year track record of perform-
ance and safety on ours. So we think thats a
pretty fair fight.
The Marcellus Shale Coalition, an industry
trade group, plans to run ads in 75 percent of
Pennsylvanias movie theaters, encouraging
Promised Land audiences to visit a website
that it set up earlier this year to answer ques-
tions about shale gas.
Its difficult to fact-check a work of fic-
tion, so I dont know if were going to be
able to do that any more than we can fact-
check Batman, said spokesman Steve
Forde. But certainly shale gas development
is generating discussion around dinner
tables, its an important discussion to have,
and thats the angle we are looking at.
Environmentalists, meantime, are positive-
ly giddy over the films depiction of an
industry they view as dangerous to land,
water, air and people. They are planning their
own campaign around Promised Land,
including the distribution of anti-drilling
leaflets, postcards and petitions to audiences
leaving theaters.
Rebecca Roter, a Pennsylvania activist
who has screened the film, said, This is a
precious opportunity to engage America on a
national level about where their cheap natu-
ral gas energy is coming from and the asso-
ciated human costs.
The author, Michael Rubinkam, covers the
fracking industry in Pennsylvania for the
Associated Press. With Promised Land
opening nationwide on Friday, he offers this
view from the ground.
FRACKING
an unprecedented challenge when he and Sue
arrive in the depressed dairy farming commu-
nity of McKinley in western Pennsylvania.
Outspoken old-timer Frank (Hal Holbrook),
the high school science teacher, and ashy,
charismatic environmental crusader Dustin
(Krasinski) dare to question the companys
methods in increasingly vocal ways.
But even as Steve struggles to close the deal,
he nds himself growing entrenched in the
daily rhythms of this idyllically charming lit-
tle nook of the heartland. Rosemarie DeWitt
co-stars as a winsome grade school teacher
with dismayingly half-baked romantic con-
nections to both Steve and Dustin; essentially,
its as if shes waiting around the local water-
ing hole on karaoke night, hoping that some
cute, exciting outsider will waltz in and woo
her. The actress, and the character, deserve
better. Similarly, Sue enjoys a brief irtation
with the sarcastic convenience store owner
(Titus Welliver) whose character is underde-
veloped and yet so briey intriguing, youd
like to know more about him. All of this feels
half-heartedly wedged-in.
Steve and Dustin obviously function as two
sides of the same coin, but their confrontations
dont crackle the way they should because
everyone involved is just so darn nice. But
there is an appealing gray area suggested in
Damons character. For a while, were not
quite sure whether hes a true believer or an
opportunistic climber that is, until some
major and implausible plot twists make his
stance forcefully, indisputably clear.

WEEKEND JOURNAL 19
By J.M. Hirsch
If you think youve done nearly everything
a cook can with boneless, skinless chicken
breasts, it might be time to talk turkey.
Other than the big bird at Thanksgiving and
ground turkey when theyre craving a virtuous
burger, most people overlook turkey. And fair
enough. Ground turkey can be dry and taste-
less. And who has time to roast a bird (or even
a massive breast) most nights of the week?
But the turkey tenderloin a thick strip of
meat cut from between the birds breasts
turns out to be a convenient, delicious and
healthy alternative. Because the tenderloin
doesnt get much of a workout when the bird
is alive, the meat is particularly tender. And
like chicken breasts, it is incredibly versatile,
taking well to the grill, skillet or oven, and
working well with any avor or marinade.
The tenderloins which average anywhere
between 8 ounces and 1 pound also are
agreeable to a variety of cuts. Slice them
crosswise into medallions, lengthwise into
tenders for breading and baking, or into
chunks for stir-fry.
Because of their size, tenderloins also take
well to being stuffed. Use a paring to knife to
cut a slit along one side into the meat (without
going all the way through). This creates a
pocket which can be lled with a blend of
ricotta cheese, egg, herbs and chopped greens.
The real benets of turkey tenderloins are
the avor and texture. Though they resemble
chicken breasts, and can be used in just about
any recipe that calls from them, the avor is
more robust and the texture more tender and
moist.
You also save a few calories. A 4-ounce
serving of turkey tenderloin has 130 calories
and 0.5 grams of fat. The same serving of
boneless, skinless chicken breast has 144
calories and nearly 6 grams of fat.
CHOPPED SMOKY TURKEY
BURGERS WITH MANCHEGO
Banish all notions of dried out ground
turkey burgers. This technique produces truly
moist burgers. In fact, when you form the pat-
ties, they will be very moist and messy. Once
they hit the grill, they hold together ne.
Start to nish: 20 minutes
Servings: 4
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Pinch kosher salt
1 1/4 pounds turkey tenderloin, cut into
large chunks
2 ounces prosciutto
4 hamburger buns
4 ounces manchego cheese
Heat a grill to medium. Oil the grates, or
coat them with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, gar-
lic powder, mustard powder, paprika, black
pepper and salt. Set aside.
In a food processor, combine the turkey and
prosciutto. Pulse until the meat is well
chopped but still chunky, about 10 seconds
total. Scrape the sides of the bowl and pulse
again if any large pieces remain unchopped.
Transfer the meat to the bowl with the egg
mixture, then mix well. Form the meat into 4
loose patties. They will be moist and not hold
together well.
Use a spatula to carefully place the burgers
on the grill and cook, covered, for 4 to 5 min-
utes. Flip the burgers they should be rm
enough to move easily now and cook for
another 4 to 5 minutes, or until they read 165
F at the center. Top each burger with a quarter
of the cheese, then serve on a bun.
Turkey tenderloin is a versatile, overlooked meat
Turkey tenderloin a thick strip of meat cut from between the birds breasts is a convenient,

Tuesday night to consider similar amend-
ments to its municipal code.
The two cities are following others in
the area that have already signed on to
adopt a countywide ordinance passed at
the end of the year.
But plastic bag manufacturers contend
reusable bags are actually worse for the
environment and that banning them will
lead to job losses.
Paper bags, made from trees, require
four times as much energy to produce,
according to the industry.
A plastic bag ban would kill jobs, hurt
small business and the environment all at
once, Cathy Browne, general manager of
Huntington Park-based Crown Poly
wrote in an opinion piece printed in the
Daily Journal Thursday.
If the two councils move forward, city
staff will begin outreach with residents
and business owners.
The hope would be to make the ban live
effective April 22, Earth Day. San Mateo
County adopted its ban last year and sev-
eral Peninsula cities, which had been
holding out for a template model, are now
following suit.
The county ordinance, which also
begins in April and which the city ban
echoes, allows patrons without reusable
bags to request a single-use paper version
from retailers for the price of rst a dime
and, after Jan. 1, 2015, a quarter. Retailers
can voluntarily choose to give free bags
to food stamp and WIC participants.
Bags without handles for medicine or
to segregate food that might contaminate

Goodwill. Restaurants can still send food
in to-go bags as public health ofcials
have not yet ruled out the possibility of
reusable bags leading to cross-contami-
nation.
More than 20 billion disposable plastic
bags are used in California annually
more than 500 bags per person per year in
the county and less than 8 percent are
recycled, Dean Peterson, the countys
director of environmental health, told the
Board of Supervisors in October when it
considered the ban and an environmental
impact report of a prohibition.
Twenty-four cities in San Mateo and
Santa Clara counties participated in the
EIR process but each city council that
hasnt already done so must adopt its own
ban. Joining San Carlos were Belmont,
Brisbane, Burlingame, Colma, Daly City,

Bay, Menlo Park, Millbrae, Pacifica,
Portola Valley, Redwood City, San Bruno,

lecting rearms in the same way that
many women are fascinated with col-
lecting handbags.
For guys, its a hobby mostly, she
said.
Jeannie does not have a problem with
making it harder for rst-time gun pur-
chasers to buy a rearm. But the repeat-
ed paperwork, background checks and
showing a second proof of residency
such as a bill or a lease is a burden on
repeat customers.
The people who dont have experi-
ence with guns want more laws, but gun
owners think the laws are too stringent,
she said. I understand why they have
these laws for certain people, but these
are people who wont abide by the laws
anyways.
Buying a gun
To purchase a rie or long gun in
California, a person must be 18 years
old and show a valid ID. No safety cer-
tication is required for ries.
Ammunition purchases are not regis-
tered or tracked.
Handgun purchasers must be 21 years
old, present a valid ID, show a second
proof of residency, pass a safety test and
watch a safe handling demonstration.
The test and demonstration are usual-
ly completed in the rearms store. After
10 days, a background check on the pur-
chaser is complete and the firearms
dealer can deliver the gun to the pur-
chaser. A customer can be denied a
rearm if the background check shows
the person has a record of felonies,
domestic violence, mental hospital vis-
its or DUIs.
Max Grossman, who has worked at
Peninsula Guns and Tactical in San
Bruno for more than a year, thinks it
should be harder for a rst-time buyer to
purchase a handgun. He pulled out a
copy of the 30-question handgun safety
test and read some of the questions
aloud.
True or false? You may be guilty of
criminal storage of a rearm if you
keep a loaded rearm where a child
obtains access to the rearm and there-
by causes injury or death, or carries a
firearm to a public place, said
Grossman.
A person can get seven questions
wrong and still pass the safety test.
Its embarrassing, he said. Its
worded in a way that is meant for you to
pass.
Grossman suggested that new hand-
gun purchasers be required to take a
one-day safety course. He said new gun
owners should be asked detailed ques-
tions like: Did you know a 9 mm I still
lethal at 200 meters?
Grossman argued for more gun safety
training, but said it wont necessarily
prevent shootings like the one at Sandy
Hook Elementary School.
Its like trying to prevent DUIs by
making it harder for people to buy cars,
he said.
Gun safety training
Along with a rise in rearms purchas-
es, the Peninsula is seeing an increase in
demand for voluntary gun safety train-
ing. Burlingame gun safety training
facility Bay Area Firearms has seen a
dramatic increase in people wanting
training, particularly with AR-15s.
Owner Scott Jackson said the center is
training 300 people each month on AR-
15s.
Eighty-ve percent of the students
are women. Women dont feel safe in
society anymore, he said, adding that
people are mostly interested in guns for
self-defense. People are afraid, they
think society is going downhill.
And people are worried they wont be
able to buy the guns in the future, he
said.
Jackson was originally a scuba diving
safety instructor but decided to start
teaching rearm safety after the terrorist
attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
The [mandatory] gun safety certi-
cation is terrible, he said, as he set a
customer up with a gift certicate. Its
just a 30-question bonehead test.
Theres nothing about how to handle a
gun.
Jackson said all gun owners should
have mandatory training on safe han-
dling and storage.

gun laws visit oag.ca.gov/rearms.

fully approved. Other states have until
Feb. 15 to apply for a partnership
exchange.
Health and Human Services Secretary
Kathleen Sebelius said Thursdays
action will accelerate development of
the health insurance marketplaces,
where she said consumers will be able to
buy affordable, high quality insurance.
Conditional approval will provide the
information states need to guide their
continued work.
California was the rst state to author-
ize a health insurance exchange after
passage of the federal Affordable Care
Act in 2010. State ofcials say having
control allows California to custom
build a marketplace that caters to its
needs.
The California Health Benefit
Exchange board, which now goes by
Covered California, submitted its opera-
tional plan last month to expand cover-
age by at least 2 million. The California
HealthCare Foundation estimates the
state has about 7.1 million people or
about 18 percent of its total population
without health insurance.
The federal health care law seeks to
increase health coverage by 2014 by cre-
ating new online insurance markets for
individuals and small businesses to shop
for subsidized private coverage, and by
expanding Medicaid for low-income
people. Medicaid is known as Medi-Cal
in California and currently serves 7.7
million adults and children.
In her letter to Gov. Jerry Brown,
Sebelius said she was granting approval
to California because of the substantial
progress the California exchange has
made ...
The approval was granted on the con-
dition that California demonstrates it can
meet exchange requirements and comply
with deadlines and regulations.
Covered California plans to have its
exchange up and running in time for
open enrollment on Oct. 1. Health cov-
erage would take effect Jan. 1, 2014.
The exchanges executive director,
Peter Lee, said Thursdays approval
means California is hitting its marks.
Rightly, the federal government is
saying, Youve got all your ducks in a
row. Youre ready to go and we want to
make sure youre going to be ready on
Oct. 1, Lee said.

Reddy was sentenced to nine years and
remanded almost immediately, said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Each side spoke before sentencing as
well as the victims brothers and a repre-
sentative of Mothers Against Drunk
Driving, said Wagstaffe. While no one
spoke on Reddys behalf, he did have a
number of family and friends in the
courtroom. The sentence and handcuff-
ing resulted in an emotional response
from those in the courtroom, which had
to be cleared, said Wagstaffe. Reddy will
get credit for two days served.
Just before 4 a.m. Nov. 17, 2011, pros-
ecutors say Reddy ran a stoplight on El
Camino Real and T-boned a vehicle exit-
ing Interstate 380 in San Bruno. The
other driver, 60-year-old Sondra Gentile,
was killed while Reddy ed after the
collision. The crash shut down the sec-
tion of El Camino Real between Sneath
Lane and San Bruno Avenue for several
hours. Meanwhile, San Bruno police
tracked the car, which is registered to
Reddy, back to his home where he was
arrested.
REDDY
FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 2013
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Even if you dont
seek it, your very presence is likely to command
attention. Thus, you need to be extra careful of your
demeanor, because the impression you make will
be lasting.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- To achieve an
important objective, you need to proceed in a
logical, methodical manner. If you shoot from the hip
instead, the results are apt to be quite disappointing.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- It behooves you to be
as tactful and pleasant as possible with colleagues.
Being too critical or aggressive could result in an
incident that would have serious ramifcations.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you are required to
handle a confdential matter for another, treat it with
the respect you would wish if someone were doing
the same for you. Remember, the buck stops with
you on this one.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It would be best to
keep a disagreement with your mate to yourself.
Once you allow outsiders to enter the picture,
complications are likely to occur.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Since your powers
of observation appear to be more acute than ever,
dont focus simply on others shortcomings while
totally ignoring their good attributes.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Make sure to handle
your resources as prudently as possible. Take care
to avoid taking on any unnecessary long-term debt.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Guard against temptations
to rehash an old, smoldering issue with another
whose point of view differs considerably. Nothing
will be gained except more strife.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your frame of mind will
affect how you handle pressure. Take care not to
make everything you do more complicated than it
needs to be.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If youve been feeling
fnancially squeezed, it might be smart to review
your expenses to see if any can be eliminated or, at
the very least, cut down.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You can easily get
tunnel vision when immersed in a project, and it could
be one of those times. Flow with the majoritys view
instead of insisting on things being done your way.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Premature
disclosures about an important objective might be
used against you. Be careful what you say to whom,
and play it close to the vest.

THIS AD.
So are your customers.
And future customers.
And former customers.
We understand how cool and sexy those Google
keywords and Facebook ads and Groupon deals are
However...
Neglecting the selling power of newspaper
advertising is leaving a huge hole in your
marketing efforts.
The Daily Journal has a cost effective, extremely
focused method of bringing you customers you cannot
reach via other channels.
If we received a dollar for every time someone said
Print is dead, well, we could afford to print this
newspaper in gold leaf.
So we understand, how unsexy and boring the
consistency of newspapers may seem.
If you feel a steady stream of business and your cash
register ringing is boring, then dont call us for a free
assessment of how the Daily Journal can help your
business succeed.
