INTERPRETER FOR DEAF AT MANDELA EVENT CALLED FAKE
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Bruno continues to move
forward with rehabilitating the
neighborhood badly damaged by
the 2010 PG&E explosion and re
with the approval of plans to
rebuild 10 lots and construct a new
park.
The city voted to negotiate a
development agreement with
Castle Companies to construct
new homes on the 10 vacant lots
owned by the city and Pacic Gas
and Electric in the Crestmoor
neighborhood. Additionally, the
city approved purchase of 1690
Claremont Drive for use as a future
park for $500,000 from the
estates of Gregory and Lavonne
Bullis. The two estates agreed to
pay closing costs up to $5,000.
The purchase price and any clos-
ing costs in excess of $5,000 will
be reimbursed to the city by the
trust established by PG&E to
cover costs associated with the
explosion. The city is exempt
from paying property taxes once
it acquires the title, according to a
staff report.
Mayor Jim Ruane said the city
wants to reconstruct the space
with streetscaping and improve
the sewer system.
Were on track to get it com-
plete, he said. We want to get it

Dems push for
rainy day fund
State lawmakers want $8 billion
voter-mandated budget reserve
By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Assembly Speaker
John Perez pledged Wednesday to cau-
tiously begin restoring funding to some
social programs that were slashed during
the recession and said lawmakers will
ask voters to approve a revised rainy day
fund on the November 2014 ballot.
Having a voter-mandated savings plan
and building an $8 billion budget reserve by 2017 would
protect the state from future slashes and cuts like those
that devastated state programs in recent years, said Perez, D-
Los Angeles.
The combination would nally bring an end to the
spend-and-slash roller coaster budgets that weve seen for
the last 20 years, he said.
Perez said other priorities for his members include encour-
aging creation of jobs, preventing tuition increases for
higher education, fighting poverty, possibly with an
expansion of the federal earned income tax credit, and phas-
ing in pre-school programs including universal transition-

Matt Swafford started his career as
curious 14-year-old with a camera and a
roll of film; just 12 shots, so he
learned to make them count.
Forty years later and even with
advancements in photo editing pro-
grams, high-tech equipment and limit-
less memory cards, he still shoots
with the mindset of his youth.
Swafford is a photojournalist and
ne art photographer whose work is
on exhibit at the San Mateo Main
Library. Hes traveled the world, been
taken to places few have been and pho-
tographed an endless variety of sub-
jects. He still attributes his passion
and success to the basic skills he
learned at Hillsdale High Schools
photography program.
Before the days of memory cards and
DSLR cameras, his teachers would give
them assignments to successfully
cover an event, like a sports game,
knowing they only had 12 shots. He
developed an eye for body mechanics,
how to anticipate movement and to
patiently wait until the composition
was right. To this day, he doesnt use
special effects, he maximizes the
frame and never crops, Swafford said.
For me, the premise is to shoot it
like youre shooting lm. Get the shot

City has yellow tap
water due to supply changes
LOS ANGELES Tap water in Sierra
Madre is yellow, and its making some
residents see red.
Ofcials in the tiny city tell the Los
Angeles Times the temporary use of
imported supplies from the
Metropolitan Water District is to
blame for the off-putting color.
And they say the water is perfectly
safe to drink.
The Sierra Madre Public Works
Department was forced to switch to the
imported water after the state deter-
mined that the citys underground
aquifer was running low.
The mixture of chlorine and ammo-
nia that the MWD uses to disinfect the
water interact with the rust in steel
pipes to produce the yellowish color.
Resident Grant Nelson says its
embarrassing. He has to tell guests
that he keeps a clean house and the yel-
low water is the citys fault.
Eight injured when SUV
goes into California Starbucks
FOLSOM Police say eight people
were injured, one seriously, when an
SUV plowed into a Starbucks store in
Northern California.
The crash in Folsom occurred a little
before 3 p.m. Tuesday. Police tell
KCRA-TV the driver of the Lexus SUV
had parked and was trying to adjust the
position of her vehicle when she accel-
erated.
The SUV went around barriers and
into the store. The driver and a passen-
ger in the vehicle were not injured.
Six people inside the store were
taken to a hospital, one of them with
serious injuries. The other ve peo-
ples injuries were considered minor.
Police say the driver did not appear
to be under the inuence of drugs or
alcohol and was not on a cellphone.
LAPD to officers on
duty: Buckle up, its the rule
LOS ANGELES If youve ever
been pulled over by a police ofcer for
not wearing a seat belt, theres a decent
chance the ofcer also wasnt buckled
up either.
While 86 percent of Americans now
wear seat belts, an upcoming study that
will be published by Californias
Commission on Peace Officer
Standards and Training estimates that
roughly half of law enforcement of-
cers dont wear them.
With traffic-related fatalities the
leading cause of death of ofcers on
duty, departments nationwide are buck-
ling down to get ofcers to buckle up.
Something that can save a persons
life should be on a high priority of
being enforced, said Richard Ashton,
a former police chief who has studied
ofcer safety for more than a decade
with the International Association of
Chiefs of Police.
The Los Angeles Police Department
has a new seatbelt education effort after
Inspector General Alex Bustamante
found that up to 37 percent of ofcers
involved in accidents in 2012 werent
wearing seatbelts.
State laws mandating seatbelt use
often exclude police, but the LAPD and
most other departments require them in
all but certain circumstances.
The costs of not doing so are clear.
In 14 of the last 15 years, it wasnt a
shooting, but a trafc incident that was
the leading cause of ofcer deaths,
according to the National Highway
Trafc Safety Administration. Of the
733 law enforcement ofcers killed in
a vehicle accident from 1980 through
2008, 42 percent werent wearing seat-
belts.
This is such low-hanging fruit. This
fruit is on the ground almost, said
Steve Soboroff, president of the Police
Commission at a recent meeting of the
civilian oversight board.
New recruits grew up wearing seat-
belts, but often dont on the force
because senior ofcers dont use them.
Some cut old ones off cars and buckle
them in to disable the alarm, belt them
out of the way, or cut them out entirely.
Part of the problem is blamed on
what experts call the myth of a ninja
assassin, an assailant whose ambush
attack would leave ofcers vulnerable
because their seat belts would interfere
with their ability to get their gun.

Have you ever been
entrusted to make
final arrangements
for a funeral?
Those of you
whove had this
experience know
that important decisions are required and
must be made in a timely manner. The next
of kin is many times required to search for
information about the deceased which may
not be easily accessible, and must answer
questions without the time to think things
out. Even though your Funeral Director is
trained to guide you every step of the way, it
is still best for you to be prepared with the
proper information if the need should arise.
Ask your Funeral Director what info is
needed before you meet with him/her.
Making funeral arrangements can be very
simple, or can become difficult at times if
you are not prepared. A good Funeral
Director is experienced in leading you with
the necessary requirements, and will offer
details that you may not have thought about
or previously considered as an option.
Allowing him/her to guide you will make
the arrangements go by quickly and easily.
A number of items should be considered
in preparation for the future:
1. Talk to your loved ones about the
inevitable. Give them an indication on what
your wishes are regarding the type of funeral
you want, burial or cremation, etc., and ask
them their feelings about plans for their own
funeral. This is only conversation, but it is
an important topic which will help break the
ice and prevent any type of confusion when
the time comes.
2. Talk to your Funeral Director. Write
down a list of questions and make a phone
call to your Funeral Director asking how to
be prepared. He/she will gladly provide
detailed information and can mail this
information to you for your reference.
Asking questions doesnt cost anything and
will help you with being organized.
3. Make an appointment and Pre-plan a
Funeral. Many more people are following
through with this step by making Pre-Need
Arrangements. Completing arrangements
ahead of time makes this process more
relaxed, and putting these details behind you
will take a weight off your shoulders. Your
wishes will be finalized and kept on file at
the Mortuary. Your Funeral Director will
even help you set aside funding now as to
cover costs at the time of death. Families
who meet with us at the CHAPEL OF THE
HIGHLANDS are grateful for the chance to
make Pre-Need Arrangements. With their
final details in place it helps to make matters
more calming for surviving loved-ones.
4. Enjoy Life. There are those who dwell
on situations that cant be controlled.
Taking time to stop and look around at
beauty in the world and appreciate good
things can be therapeutic. If you need to use
a negative statement, try re-wording it into a
positive. Change I had a lousy day today
into Today was demanding, but it made me
appreciate my better days. As the song
goes: Accentuate the positive; Eliminate
the negative; Latch on to the affirmative.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info
you may also visit us on the internet at:

Copper thieves steal street light wiring
Copper wiring valued at about $600 used for street
lights was stolen overnight Wednesday on a portion of
Ralston Avenue in Belmont, according to police.
Shortly after 7 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 11, someone
reported to Belmont police that there was an open grate in
the sidewalk with exposed wires on the south side of
Ralston Avenue between Hiller Street and Highway 101.
Upon investigation, officers found that during the night
four in-ground utility boxes in the sidewalk had been
opened and approximately 600 feet of copper wire that
provides electrical power to the street lights had been
removed, according to police.
Anyone with information is asked to call Belmont

Tip Line at (650) 598-3000.
PG&E to replace pipe in Redwood City
PG&E will replace sections of natural gas pipeline under
part of Redwood City beginning Dec. 16 and running
through the winter season.
The pipeline targeted runs under Winslow Street
between Fuller Street and Whipple Avenue. Work will also
be done on Whipple Avenue. The work is part of system-
wide program of ensuring transmission line safety,
according to Pacific Gas and Electric.
Work isnt expected to happen or impact holidays or
holiday-related events in Redwood City but the schedule
length could change depending on factors like weather.
The project requires digging around the existing under-
ground pipeline and installing new pipe. Residents may
smell gas and hear a loud, steady noise when the gas is
vented but customers should have no service interrup-
tions, according to the utility.
Traffic on Winslow Street and Whipple Avenue will be
7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays and PG&E plans to mark
the area and use flaggers.
Questions and concerns can be directed to PG&Es cus-
tomer care representative Austin Sharp at 730-4168. Gas
smells should be reported 24/7 at (800) 743-5000.

WASHINGTON A teenage girl
who survived the crash of an Asiana
Airlines jet in San Francisco only to
be fatally struck by a re truck on the
runway was actually run over by two
rescue vehicles in the accidents
chaotic aftermath, according to docu-
ments released Wednesday at a
National Transportation Safety Board
hearing.
Authorities in California conrmed
months ago that 16-year-old Chinese
student Ye Meng Yuan was alive on the
runway and covered in firefighting
foam when she was hit by an emer-
gency vehicle at San Francisco
International Airport and suffered the
multiple blunt injuries that killed her.
But an NTSB accident summary and
firefighter interviews made public
Wednesday disclosed for the rst time
that the girl was struck twice as she
lay motionless near the airplanes left
wing. She was hit once by a re rig
spraying foam and again less than 11
minutes later by a second truck that
was being turned around to fetch more
water.
Shortly thereafter, the victim (no
longer covered due to the displace-
ment of foam by the vehicle tires) was
pointed out to the re attack chief,
the summary states. He reported the
victim over the radio and had the body
covered with a blanket.
Firefighter interviews show that
crew members from the rst truck had
spotted Yuan on the ground, thought
she was dead and took steps to avoid
her body before the truck accidentally
rolled over her while maneuvering
closer to the plane.
Roger Phillips, a firefighter
assigned to the airport, told NTSB and
Federal Aviation Administration
investigators that he saw a young
female lying in a fetal position who
appeared to be dead with a waxy face,
rolled-back eyes and wearing an
expression that looked like a gri-
mace.
The body looked like a mannequin
used in CPR training, Phillips said,
and he did not check the victim for
vital signs, but reported the body to a
lieutenant on the scene and to the
trucks driver. The lieutenant, con-
cerned about the passengers still
trapped in the wrecked plane, respond-
ed, Yes, yes, OK, OK. Weve gotta get
a line inside.
In her interview, Lt. Christine
Emmons said she saw the small body
covered with dirt, made a three-sec-
ond visual assessment and thought,
thats our first casualty. Even
though she considered the downed per-
son to be DOA, Emmons told inves-
tigators she wanted to make sure the
body was not run over.

WASHINGTON The multi-
decade search for a pill that boosts
sexual desire in women has hit
another roadblock, raising ques-
tions about the future of efforts to
develop a female equivalent to
Viagra.
Sprout Pharmaceuticals said
Wednesday it has reached an
impasse with the Food and Drug
Administration over its drug,
flibanserin. The daily pill is
designed to increase libido in
women by acting on brain chemi-
cals linked to mood and appetite.
The FDA questions whether the
drugs benets outweigh its risks,
considering its modest effec-
tiveness and side effects including
fatigue, dizziness and nausea.
Sprout, based in Raleigh, N.C.,
said it is appealing an October let-
ter from the FDA that denied
approval and asked for more infor-
mation. But chances for approval
appear slim: Of the 17 appeals
FDA considered last year, 14 were
denied, according to government
gures. The agencys latest rejec-
tion raises serious questions for
more than a half-dozen companies
working to develop therapies for
women who report stress due to
lack of libido. Its a market drug-
makers have been trying to tap
since the blockbuster success of
Viagra, an erectile-dysfunction
drug approved in the late 1990s to
increase blood ow to the genitals.
But unlike sexual problems in
men, most of womens sexual
issues are psychological, not
physical. As a result, there are a
number of alternate causes doctors
must consider before diagnosing
female sexual desire disorders,
including relationship problems,
hormone disorders, depression
and mood issues caused by other
medications. Experts say that
developing drugs for female sexu-
al dysfunction is so difficult
because of how poorly we under-
stand the root causes.
Erectile dysfunction is a really
easy thing to measure, says
Emory University researcher Kim
Wallen. Motivation is a hard
thing to measure and, quite hon-
estly, we dont know enough
about what creates sexual motiva-
tion to manipulate it.
And Dr. Virginia Sadock, a psy-
chiatrist, says the idea that a sin-
gle pill can restore female libido
oversimplies the problem. Even
if the FDA eventually approves a
drug for female sexual dysfunc-
tion, she says it will likely be
used with non-drug techniques to
reduce stress and improve self-
image.
Female libido drug remains in limbo

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A 66-year-old Portola Valley
man who allegedly had images of
young girls engaged in sexual
activity on his computer was sen-
tenced yesterday to eight months
in jail on one count of felony child
pornography possession.
Stephen Wolf pleaded no contest
to the charge in March on the con-
dition of no state prison. He had
originally been charged with two
felonies but his defense attorney
argued that all the pornography
was downloaded on one occasion
which, under the law, would result
in one count for the incidence
rather than a count for each image.
Wolf must also register as a sex
offender for life, spend three years
on supervised probation and pay
standard nes and fees. He does not
need to report to the jail until Feb.
1 and has credit of one day against
his term.
Authorities arrested Wolf in
March 2012 as part of a county-
wide child pornography sweep
that took 10 men into custody.
The sweep was the result of a
Silicon Valley ICAC Task Force
investigation. The task force tar-
gets peer-to-peer file sharing
online, evolving from previous
investigations when suspects
often were identied through chat
room decoy operations, according
to police.
In Wolfs case, prosecutors say a
search warrant at his Portola
Valley home turned up a computer
containing the images of nude
girls 6 to 12 years age engaged in
sexual activity.
Of the other men arrested, one
has since committed suicide,
another had his case dropped for
insufficient evidence and others
received sentences between eight
and 16 months.
Wolfs sentence is in the rea-
sonable range, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Child porn possession brings jail
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Federal and local law enforce-
ment ofcials launched a new web-
site aimed at using anonymous
tips to capture wanted fugitives in
the Bay Area and Northern
California.
The U.S. Marshals Service
Northern District of California,
FBI and Northern California
Regional Intelligence Center
announced the new website
www.northerncaliforniamostwant-
ed.org in San Francisco during a
news conference Tuesday after-
noon.
The website displays informa-
tion and photos of wanted crimi-
nals with active warrants from 15
Northern California counties
stretching from Del Norte to
Monterey counties, Northern
California Regional Intelligence
Center Director Mike Sena said.
The site provides a physical
description, photos and synopsis
of a crime committed by the fugi-
tive, Sena said.
Tips will be immediately for-
warded to agents on the eld mak-
ing for an efcient system, said
Donald OKeefe, U.S. Marshal
Northern District of California.
The public can read tips submit-
ted in the past 90 days on the web-
site.
Law enforcement officials can
view comments posted by the pub-
lic and ask questions creating a
two-way conversation, Sena said.
Each tip will have an assigned
number available only to the sub-
mitter and investigator assigned
to the case, he said.
Submitters may also provide
their name and contact informa-
tion for the investigators use.
Helping law enforcement can be
a complex and dangerous risk
but ofcials hope the anonymous
feature of the site will elicit more
tips, OKeefe said.
No tip is too big or small and
wont go unchecked, OKeefe said.
The crimes posted on the site
range from homicide to terrorist
support cases in addition to the
three individuals who escaped
from Alcatraz Island in 1962.

SACRAMENTO A panel of
federal judges on Wednesday
extended Californias deadline to
cut its prison population until
April 18, while ordering that
negotiations continue over how
best to reduce inmate crowding.
The judges previously moved
the deadline to February while a
court-appointed mediator works to
find a long-term solution with
Gov. Jerry Browns administration
and attorneys representing
inmates who say crowding leads to
conditions so poor that they vio-
late constitutional standards.
The judges ordered that those
talks continue until Jan. 10. But
their one-paragraph order warns
that they plan no further exten-
sion in the negotiations absent
extraordinary circumstances.
The court is bending over back-
ward to accommodate the state,
said Don Specter, director of the
nonprot Prison Law Ofce and
one of the attorneys representing
inmates in the case. Were anx-
ious to either complete the negoti-
ation process, or if thats not suc-
cessful, to resume litigation at the
earliest possible time.
With the extension, the state
now faces a spring deadline to
reduce the population of its major
prisons to about 110, 000
inmates. Despite recently
announced plans to open several
publicly and privately operated
prisons, the state is still about
4,400 inmates over the popula-
tion cap set by the courts.
The state has already reduced its
prison population by about
25,000 inmates in the past two
years, primarily through a law that
sends lower-level offenders to
county jails instead of state pris-
ons.

Court date set for man
facing revenge porn charges
SACRAMENTO A San Diego
man has been charged with operat-
ing a revenge porn website that let
people anonymously post explicit
photographs of others so that he
could extort money from those
whose privacy was breached.
Kevin Christopher Bollaert, 27,
was arrested Tuesday by California
Department of Justice agents on 31
felony counts of conspiracy, identi-
ty theft and extortion. Authorities
say he earned tens of thousands of
dollars from a pair of websites he
operated in the scheme.
Bollaert created the site ugot-
posted.com, which was inactive
Wednesday, a year ago, according
to court documents. The site dis-
played thousands of nude pictures
without the permission of those
photographed, investigators said.
The expression revenge porn
comes from the preponderance of
such explicit images posted online
by former lovers in attempts to
shame the subjects of the photo-
graphs after breakups.

WASHINGTON With time running
short, the nations health care rolls
still arent lling up fast enough.
New sign-up numbers Wednesday
showed progress for President Barack
Obamas health care law, but not
enough to guarantee that Americans
who want and need coverage by Jan. 1
will be able to get it. Crunch time is
now, as people face a Dec. 23 deadline
to sign up if they are to have coverage
by New Years .
That means more trouble for the
White House, too, after months of
repairing a dysfunctional enrollment
website. Next year could start with a
new round of political recriminations
over the Affordable Care Act,
Obamacare to its opponents.
The Health and Human Services
Department reported that 364,682
people had signed up for private cover-
age under the law as of Nov. 30. That is
more than three times the October g-
ure but still less than one-third of the
1.2 million that ofcials had projected
would enroll nationwide by the end of
November. The administrations over-
all goal was to sign up 7 million peo-
ple by next March 31, when open
enrollment ends.
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius assured
Congress on Wednesday that we are
seeing very, very positive trends now
that HealthCare.gov is working rea-
sonably well. She also announced that
shed asked the departments inspector
general for an independent investiga-
tion into contracting and management
factors that contributed to the technol-
ogy failure.
Yet the revamped federal website
serving 36 states continues to have
issues, and some states running their
own sites also face problems. Oregon
had signed up only 44 people as of
Nov. 30.
Thats created stress and uncertainty
not only for the uninsured but also for
other people who now have insurance
but are seeking to avoid an interrup-
tion in coverage in January.
Those who are trying to preserve
their coverage include some of the
more than 4 million people whose
individual plans were canceled because
they didnt measure up under the law
as well as hundreds of thousands who
are in federal and state programs for
people with serious health problems,
from cancer to heart disease to AIDS.
Unless there is a proactive attempt
to enroll these groups, you are likely
to see a signicant number of people
whose coverage will lapse in January,
said Dan Mendelson, CEO of Avalere
Health, a market analysis rm follow-
ing the rollout.
Health care sign-ups pick up but may not close gap
By Juliet Williams
SACRAMENTO More than 107,000 Californians
have enrolled for coverage through Nov. 30 under the
states health insurance exchange, according to figures
released Wednesday by the federal Health and Human
Services Department.
Highly populated California leads the nation in sign-
ups among all states, including those running their own
exchanges and those in which the federal government
controls the marketplace under the Affordable Care Act.
But the 107,000 enrollments fall short of federal projec-
tions made before the insurance exchange website
launched in October. Then, 221,000 enrollments were
forecast for California by Nov. 30.
In all, Wednesdays figures show that nearly 226,000
applicants have been found eligible to enroll via
Californias health marketplace, with about 70 percent
qualifying for financial assistance.
The enrollment figures include people who have select-
ed health plans but might not have paid their insurance
premiums yet. People who want insurance to start in the
new year have until Dec. 23 to enroll and must pay their
premiums by Dec. 31.
Covered California, the agency that runs the state
exchange, said this week that it also had a backlog of
about 25,000 paper applications that must be processed
by Dec. 23. Officials said the agency has hired addition-
al staff members and redirected others to enter the data,
which takes about 45 minutes per application.

WASHINGTON Anewly minted budget
deal to avert future government shutdowns
gained important ground Wednesday among
House Republicans who are more accus-
tomed to brinkmanship than compromise,
even though it would nudge federal decits
higher three years in a row.
There was grumbling from opposite ends
of the political spectrum conservatives
complaining about spending levels and lib-
eral Democrats unhappy there would be no
extension of an expiring program of bene-
ts for the long-term unemployed.
Yet other lawmakers, buffeted by criticism
after last Octobers partial government shut-
down, found plenty to like in the agreement
and suggested it could lead to future coopera-
tion. The plan was announced Tuesday
evening by Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and
Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and quickly
endorsed by President Barack Obama.
A House vote was expected as early as
Thursday as lawmaker race to wrap up their
work for the year.
A lot of folks will probably vote for it
even though they would rather not support
this type of legislation, but we have to get
the spending issue completed so that there
is some consistency in the future, said Rep.
Jeff Miller, R-Fla.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-
Nev., called the agreement a breath of fresh
air that could lead to further progress. Added
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, If
youre for more decit reduction, youre for
this agreement.
Boehner also took a swipe at outside
groups that helped steer Republicans toward
the politically damaging shutdown and
opposed the current deal before it was sealed.
Theyre using our members, and theyre
using the American people for their own
goals. This is ridiculous, he said, evidently
referring to the Club For Growth, Heritage
Action and other organizations.
Modest in scope, the deal underscores how
much ambitions have shriveled since the
summer of 2011, when Obama and Boehner
held private but unsuccessful talks on a
grand bargain to reduce decits by $4 tril-
lion over a decade.
In the current climate, though, it means a
return to something approaching a routine,
where spending committees will be able to
write and pass individual bills each year,
removed from the threat of a shutdown.
As drafted, the bill would reverse $63 bil-
lion in across-the-board spending cuts
scheduled to take effect in the current budget
year and the next one, easing a crunch on
programs as diverse as environmental pro-
tection and the Pentagon.
It would offset the higher spending with
$85 billion in savings over a decade from
higher fees and relatively modest curtail-
ments on government benet programs.
Nearly a third of the total savings would
come almost a decade from now, in 2022
and 2023, partly from extending a current 2
percent cut in payments to Medicare
providers.
Other changes are scripted to begin earli-
er. Future federal workers would pay more
toward their own retirement, fees would rise
on air travelers and corporations would pay
more to the government agency that guaran-
tees their pension programs.
With the increased spending to begin
immediately and much of the savings
delayed, Congressional Budget Ofce esti-
mates showed the deal would push decits
higher than currently projected in the cur-
rent year and each of the next two.
Red ink would rise by about $23 billion in
this 2014 scal year, $18 billion in the next
year and about $4 billion in the one after
that, the CBO said.
Key support for budget deal; deficits would rise
By Lara Jakes
WASHINGTON The NSA chief said
Wednesday he knows of no better way his
agency can help protect the U.S. from for-
eign threats than with spy programs that col-
lect billions of phone and Internet records
from around the world.
Pleading with the Senate Judiciary
Committee to not abolish the National
Security Agencys bulk-collection programs,
Gen. Keith Alexander warned that global
threats are growing specically in Iraq and
Syria that pose what he called an unac-
ceptable risk to America.
How do we connect the dots? Alexander
said, referring to often-hidden links between
a foreign terror threat and a potential attack
on the U.S. There is no other way that we
know of to connect the dots. ... Taking these
programs off the table is absolutely not the
thing to do.
The committees chairman, Sen. Patrick
Leahy, D-Vt., said it was troubling that the
government was sweeping up millions, if
not billions, of Americans records. He has
proposed legislation to prohibit the NSA
from the bulk collection of U.S. phone
records, and said Wednesday that he was con-
cerned that Americans Internet records also
were vacuumed up before the program ended
in 2011. That program now focuses only on
people who live outside the United States
which could include Americans living abroad.
Alexander acknowledged the privacy con-
cerns that have dogged the NSA since leaker
Edward Snowden revealed the programs in
June. And he said the NSA was open to talk-
ing to technology companies for a better
solution without compromising security.
Its like holding onto a hornets nest,
Alexander said. Were getting stung.
But, If we let this down I think we will
have let the nation down, he said.
Leahys proposal has broad bipartisan sup-
port, especially in the House, where it is
being pushed by Rep. James Sensenbrenner,
R-Wis., who was the chief congressional
architect of laws that gave the government
broad surveillance powers in the days follow-
ing the 2001 terror attacks.
But lawmakers who oversee U.S. intelli-
gence agencies have proposed more modest
reforms that call for greater oversight of the
NSAand the creation of penalties for people
who access classied information without
authorization.
NSA: Theres no better way to
protect U.S. than surveillance
A lot of folks will probably vote for it even though
|they would rather not support this type of legislation,
but we have to get the spending issue completed so
that there is some consistency in the future.
Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla.

Letters to the editor
Star Tribune, Minneapoli
T
he news narrative on Europe gener-
ally focuses on its sclerotic
economies, unsustainable budget
decits and unstable currency. But Europes
malaise is still preferable to closer ties to
Russia for millions of Ukrainians, includ-
ing thousands encamped in Kiev in a
protest that has become just the latest
global ashpoint testing the Obama
administration.
The United States and the European
Union have a direct stake in the outcome
and should be more engaged, diplomatical-
ly and economically, in order to help pre-
vent violence and motivate Ukraine to
integrate into the E.U.
That was expected to have happened by
now. But Ukrainian President Viktor
Yanukovych made a last-minute decision
not to sign an E.U. Association
Agreement. Instead, bowing to pressure
from Russian President Vladimir Putin,
Yanukovych signaled his intent to align
with the Russian-oriented Eurasian
Customs Union.
Putins tough tactics included threatening
a rise in natural gas prices and restricting
exports. Either would hurt everyday
Ukrainians, as well as some oligarchs who
back Yanukovych.
The European Union and the United
States have limited ability to signicantly
alter terms of the proposed IMF bailout.
But they could offer other ways to help
Ukraine get through a tough transition.
Some of this is short term, and includes
direct aid. Most important, the West needs
to convince Yanukovych that the best
method to get Ukraine out of its perpetual
economic (and thus political) dysfunction
is to link its economy to the E.U.
President Obama needs to prioritize
Ukraine. State Department envoy Victoria
Nuland was dispatched, and Vice President
Joe Biden phoned Yanukovych. But theyre
playing catch-up to Putins direct involve-
ment.
Obama is distracted domestically, and
hes focused on the Mideast at a time when
the administration has signaled a pivot
to Asia. But solutions to those vexing
issues will usually involve, if not depend
on, Russia. Sending the wrong signal to
Putin may invite more meddling in Eastern
Europe and more challenges on key inter-
national issues.
Millions of Ukrainians are risking much
to tie their futures to the West. The United
States and E.U. should aggressively act to
diplomatically defuse the immediate crisis
and coax Yanukovych to choose the right
long-term alignment.
Food trucks
Editor,
The entrepreneurs and owners of Alanas
in Burlingame, after successfully running
this well-known and quaint restaurant for
over 20 years, have recently invested and
risked substantial amounts of money, time
and resources to open their third restaurant,
Sixtos Mexican Cantina, a few doors up
the street on Burlingame Avenue.
The ofcial grand opening, planned for
this coming Monday, provides that part of
the proceeds are going to be donated to
charity.
They have created many new jobs and
will continue serving the community and
increasing tax revenue.
The fees and permits they obtained from
City Hall must amount to several thousand
dollars, I am sure.
Restaurants are required to have a member
of their staffs graduate a course and gain
familiarity and knowledge of hygienic
food-handling, required temperatures for
food storage and cooking.
Their employees are normally required to
have basic health certicates and wash
their hands often.
Now lets compare all that with compet-
ing food trucks coming into our Peninsula
communities without many of those
requirements and probably not held up to
the same health and licensing standards.
Running water and restrooms are not
required nor provided.
Food trucks have little or no community
roots. I really do not care what fancy name
you wish to use or call them. Off the Grid
or Off the Payroll, they do not provide
normal, old-American fair competition to
our established local businesses that over-
came red tape, building permits and are at
risk of their capital.
Also, restaurants are often owned by
local community residents they con-
tribute to charities and are members of their
local chambers of commerce, downtown
associations or service clubs.

Mandela and Obama
Editor,
In response to Scott Abramsons letter to
the editor in the Dec. 9 issue of the Daily
Journal, while Nelson Mandelas achieve-
ments are much to be celebrated Im not
sure how or why you can compare him to
Barack Obama.
As Barack Obama is half the age of
Nelson Mandela, I believe we need to give
our president a little more time to prove
himself in the history books. Americans in
general are not a patient bunch. We tend to
expect results overnight. Although I voted
for the president, I am not happy with
everything he is doing, or not doing for
that matter. But I still feel it is important
to support him. Social Security and
Medicare were not successful overnight,
Obamacare may take a while to work also.
Be patient fellow Americans.

Talk can be cheap
Editor,
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad
Zarif told Time Magazine that if Congress
chooses to impose new sanctions on his
country, the entire deal is dead. Mr. Zarif
failed to mention that there is no deal yet
because there is disagreement on the terms.
Mr. Zarif also said We do not like to nego-
tiate under duress. He failed to mention
that the only reason Iran came to the nego-
tiating table in the rst place is because of
the duress on its economy. Some people
can look you in the eye and lie to you. Mr.
Zarif appears to be one of those people.
But then maybe he was told by someone

Moral behavior
Editor,
In the Nov. 10 issue of the Daily Journal,
Mike Caggiano asks Who says being a
human being is easy? in his letter to the
editor Obamas speech and Pope Francis.
Being a human being is not hard; it is
being a good honest moral person that is
our challenge. This is especially challeng-
ing now in times when our leaders say
Greed is good. Adecent person knows
that greed is a vice.
At this time of year, when we talk about
angels singing in the dark of night: Peace
on Earth! Good will to man, it is time for
us to rethink our culture. We need to care
for each other and share the bounty of the
Earth. How many of our citizens are home-
less and out in the freezing weather? How
many people died on the cold streets of our
nation last night?
What is our government, which claims to
be a democracy, doing to share the wealth
of this nation? We, the citizens of this
nation, need to drastically change our gov-
ernment to make the song of the angels
come to be.

Whats a little weather whining on top of
that? Ill take idiocy, with a side of less than
inclement weather. At least Ill be able to
unfreeze the hands long enough to type a
snarky response.
The cold just makes every chore a little
harder to accomplish and entertainment hard-
pressed to enjoy. There is a reason I dont
follow football and it has nothing to do with
the actual sport. OK, maybe a lot to do with
the sport. But the time of year and the weath-
er it brings, even in California, is enough to
keep me at bay waiting for spring training.
That said, there are a number of things the
cold makes me appreciate. Flannel sheets.
Electric blankets. Aroof over my head.
Roaring res. Ahot cup of coffee. Having
feeling in the tips of the ngers. Car seat
warmers. Boots replacing peep-toe heels
which negate needing a perfect pedicure
every day. Soup. Putting the dogs in ridicu-
lous sweaters under the guise of keeping
them warm. Staying in bed an extra hour.
Mid-winter trips elsewhere. Hot showers.
Justifying not washing my hair every morn-
ing. Having somebody else fetch the morn-
ing newspaper.
As the week wanes down, the freezing tem-
peratures nally feel like theyre loosening
their grip. The morning grass is still brittle.
The car still sounds unhappy at rst turn of
the ignition. But at least the sun starts a bit
of a thaw mid-morning and the dogs dont
immediately stop in their tracks at the chilly
open door willing their full bladders to last
just a little longer before they must brave the
elements.
There are certainly plenty of things I pre-
fer frosty, my beer glass and cynical little
heart among them. But the weather? That
still needs to kick it up a notch or two.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEWYORK Disappointing earn-
ings from a handful of U.S. compa-
nies pushed the stock market to its
biggest loss in five weeks.
Health care stocks had some of the
biggest declines. Laboratory
Corporation of America slumped after
cutting its full-year earnings fore-
cast. Quest Diagnostics, a major
competitor, also dropped Wednesday.
Joy Global, a maker of mining
equipment, sank after reporting earn-
ings that fell short of Wall Street
forecasts.
The broader stock market also fell.
The Standard & Poors 500 index has
fallen six out of eight days in
December, leaving it down 1.3 per-
cent for the month.
The market may be succumbing to
buyers fatigue after a big rally this
year, said Chris Bertelsen, chief
investment officer at Global
Financial Private Capital. The S&P
500 has surged 25 percent so far in
2013, putting it on track for its
biggest annual increase in a decade.
Anybody who thinks that its up
forever is certainly a neophyte to
this business, said Bertelsen.
Another sign that investors opt i-
mism about stocks may be flagging
was a sharp drop in the Russell 2000.
The index of small-company stocks
fell 1.6 percent Wednesday, the most
in month. Still, this years 30-per-
cent gain in the Russell 2000 has out-
paced other big indexes.
Investors also considered the
impact of the latest budget deal in
Washington, which will help law-
makers avoid the immediate threat of
another government shutdown. The
16-day shutdown in October crimped
economic growth and hurt consumer
confidence.
In the long run, the deal should be
good for the stock market. It will
allow investors to focus on the econ-
omy and the outlook for corporations
rather than politics, said Peter Sidoti,
a former Wall Street analyst who now
runs a company that focuses on ana-
lyzing small-company stocks.
It just gets rid of the noise, said
Sidoti, head of Sidoti & Co. The less
distractions that you have and the
more that you have people focus on
running their businesses, the better
off we are.
The S&P 500 index fell 20.40
points, or 1.2 percent, to 1,782.22.
It was the biggest decline for the
index since Nov. 7.
The Dow Jones industrial average
dropped 129.60 points, or 0.8 per-
cent, to 15,843.53. The Nasdaq com-
posite fell 56.68 points, or 1.4 per-
cent, to 4,003.81.
Health care stocks slid 1.6 percent.
Laboratory Corporation of America
plunged $10.90, or 11 percent, to
$88.25, the biggest decline in the
S&P 500. Quest Diagnostics fell
$3.40, or 5.8 percent, to $55.20.
Joy Global fell $3.09, or 5.5 per-
cent, to $53.15.
Some investors also attributed
Wednesdays slump to concern that
the Federal Reserve could start reduc-
ing its support of the economy at a
policy meeting next week. A pull-
back appeared more likely after
strong economic reports, including a
pickup in hiring last month.
The Fed has been buying $85 bil-
lion of bonds every month to hold
down long-term interest rates.
Ultimately, most investors see a
potential reduction, or tapering, of
that stimulus as a positive signal that
shows the economy is strengthen-
ing.
In the short run, however, any
decrease in the Feds huge bond pur-
chases would likely create some anx-
iety in financial markets. The pur-
chases have been driving bond prices
higher and giving investors incen-
tive to buy stocks by making them
seem less expensive in comparison.
Stocks slump following disappointing earnings
Amazon.com Inc.s grocery delivery
service is rolling into San Francisco.
The online retailer said it is expand-
ing its AmazonFresh service into its
third city after testing it in Los
Angeles and Seattle. The service pro-
vides same-day and early-morning
delivery of more than 500,000
Amazon products including fresh gro-
ceries and local items.
Competition in the online grocery
delivery space has been growing.
Other competitors include
FreshDirect, Instacart, Peapod and
Safeway, which have been tending to
customers who want to avoid the
supermarket. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has
been testing its service, Walmart To
Go, in San Francisco since 2011 .
Outside of groceries, eBay Inc.s eBay
Now service has been delivering items
from local stores to customers in about
one hour. Available in New York,
Chicago and Dallas, eBay Now deliv-
ers everything from iPads to towels to
tools.
AmazonFresh goes beyond groceries
too. Customers can also order products
including electronics, diapers and
ready-to-heat meals from local restau-
rants.
Shipping is free for orders over $35,
but AmazonFresh users in San
Francisco and Los Angeles have to pay
$299 a year for the service. That comes
with a subscription to Amazon Prime,
a $79-per-year service that includes
free two-day shipping on many
Amazon items and access to the com-
panys video streaming selection.
Amazon said it will give customers in
San Francisco a free 30-day trial.
Pricing in Seattle is different.
Customers there generally pay for each
delivery, but are able to qualify for free
delivery if they order frequently over
the course of a month or spend over a
certain limit.
AmazonFresh was launched in
Seattle, where Amazon is based, in
2007. It came to Los Angeles in June.
The company is evaluating whether
it will expand into other markets. We
recognize the economics are challeng-
ing, said spokesman Scott Stanzel,
so we will remain thoughtful and
methodical in our approach to expand-
ing the service.

FDA takes steps to phase out antibiotics in meat
WASHINGTON Citing a potential threat to public
health, the Food and Drug Administration is taking steps
toward phasing out the use of some antibiotics in animals
processed for meat.
Many cattle, hog and poultry producers give their ani-
mals antibiotics regularly to ensure that they are healthy
and to make the animals grow faster. Now, the agency has
announced that it will ask pharmaceutical companies to
voluntarily stop labeling drugs important for treating
human infection as acceptable for that growth promotion
in animals.
If the companies sign on and one major company has
already said it will using those antibiotics to promote
growth in animals would be illegal. Prescriptions would
be required to use the drugs for animal illnesses.
The FDA has been debating how to address the issue of
antibiotics in meat for several years as consumers have
become more aware of the issue and are clamoring for
antibiotic-free meat. McDonalds, among other compa-
nies, has moved to limit the drugs in their meat, pushing
many animal producers to go along.
Hilton IPO brings in $2.35B, outdoes Twitter
NEWYORK Hilton is back, and in a big way.
The hotelier, which went private in 2007, says its ini-
tial public offering priced Wednesday at $20 per share
in the middle of its expected range for a total take of
$2.35 billion on the sale of 117.6 million shares.
The payoff surpasses the $2.1 billion generated by
Twitters IPO last month. The biggest IPO of the year so
far was Plains GP Holdings LP at $2.9 billion.
Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. is the worlds largest
hotel group, when measured by rooms, with 665,667
rooms across 90 countries and territories.
Blackstone Group LP, which led the $20 billion buyout
of Hilton six years ago, is not selling any shares in the
IPO, and will continue to hold majority voting power.

WASHINGTON As federal regula-
tors consider removing a decades-old
prohibition on making phone calls on
planes, a majority of Americans who
fly oppose such a change, a new
Associated Press-GfK poll nds.
The Federal Communications
Commission will ofcially start the
debate Thursday, holding the rst of
several meetings to review the
agencys 22-year-old ban. New FCC
Chairman Tom Wheeler has called the
current rules outdated and restric-
tive.
Technology has advanced to the
point where in-ight calls relayed
first through a special system on
planes wont overload cell towers
on the ground. As a result, Wheeler has
said, theres no reason the government
should prohibit in-flight calls. The
FCC proposal comes weeks after the
Federal Aviation Administration lifted
its ban on using personal electronic
devices such as iPads and Kindles
below 10,000 feet, saying they dont
interfere with cockpit instruments.
Just because technology has
advanced, it doesnt mean that eti-
quette has. Many iers fear their fellow
passengers will subject them to long-
winded conversations impossible to
avoid at 35,000 feet.
The Associated Press-GfK poll
released Wednesday nds that 48 per-
cent of Americans oppose allowing
cellphones to be used for voice calls
while ying; just 19 percent support
it. Another 30 percent are neutral.

The Half Moon Bay boys basketball team
is not shying away from sky-high expecta-
tions this season. With four of ve starters
from last years Central Coast Section
Division IV nals team, and 10 players who
saw signicant playing time last season, the
time is now for the Cougars to do something
special.
We hope to be in the [CCS] Open
Division, said Half Moon Bay coach Rich
Forslund. Thats our goal.
As such, Wednesdays matchup against
Aragon in the rst round of the Burlingame
Lions Club Invitational served as the
Cougars rst real test of the 2013-14 season.
With center Rico Nuno pouring in 19
points and pulling down 13 rebounds, and
Corey Cilia adding 18 points, the Cougars
came ying out of the gate to take a 25-7 lead
after the rst quarter and then held off the
Dons for a 77-66 victory.
I think [a tough opponent] is great for us,
Forslund said. We did some things very
well.
Day 2 of the Burlingame Lions Club
Invitational continues today at Burlingame
High School. Games are scheduled for 3:15
p.m., 4:45 p.m., 6:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m.
Half Moon Bay (4-0 overall) showed it can
beat teams in several ways. The Cougars are
comfortable in the half-court set, but can get
out and run when they need to. They struggled
at times against Aragons full-court press, but
also adjusted and broke it with relative ease
on several occasions.
Aragon, on the other hand, came out at less
than 100 percent, fell behind big early and
had to play catch-up the rest of the way.
We got in a hole. They ran their sets really
well in the rst quarter, said Aragon coach
Sam Manu. We were right on cusp (of erasing
the decit) but we couldnt get over the
hump.

ALAMEDA When Rod Streater arrived
in Oakland in the spring of 2012 as an
undrafted and unheralded receiver out of
Temple, his focus was on the smallest of
goals rather than something as noteworthy
as a 1,000-yard receiving season.
With three games left in his second sea-
son in the NFL, Streater is closing in on
that mark and has a chance to become the
first Raiders receiver to gain that many
yards in a season since Randy Moss in
2005.
Streater needs to average just 71 yards
receiving a game over the nal three weeks,
a mark he was reached three times in four
games with Matt McGloin as Oaklands
starting quarterback.
Coming in, it was just making the team,
Streater said. Getting a jersey, thats all I
wanted. Now you have to continue to set the
bar high. Now that Im here I want to keep
going up.
After spending much of the offseason
working out and building chemistry with
Terrelle Pryor, Streater has clicked almost
immediately with McGloin since he took
over as starter. Streater has 21 catches for
364 yards and two touchdowns the past four
weeks, and set career bests with seven
catches for 130 yards in last weeks loss to
the New York Jets.
Hes going to be in the
right spot all the time,
McGloin said. He knows
what hes doing. He
shows up every day,
works hard, goes about
his business. I can trust
him. I can throw him
opportunity balls and
theres a 50-50 chance
hell come down with it.
According to footballperspective.com,
the Raiders are tied with Jacksonville for
the longest active streaks for seasons with-
out a 1,000-yard receiver. The closest any
Raiders receiver has come in that span is
Darrius Heyward-Bey, who had 975 yards
receiving in 2011.
Streaters 787 yards are the second most
for any Oakland wideout since 2005, with
only tight ends Brandon Myers (806 in
2012) and Zach Miller (805 in 2009) top-
ping his current total.
Theres something about that number
you want to get to as a receiver to be con-
sidered one of the good ones for the year,
Streater said. Thats what Im reaching for
and also to get these last three wins.

er for two years in junior college at Alfred
State before transferring to Temple. The

SANTA CLARA Dashon Goldson
dropped by San Francisco team headquarters a
few weeks back and nobody thought it too
strange, even now that he plays for the
Buccaneers and his former 49ers travel to
Tampa Bay this weekend.
The veteran safety was serving a one-game
suspension at the time and in the Bay Area to
see his doctor and chiropractor for a body
tuneup before returning to the eld following
the Week 12 penalty for a helmet-to-helmet
hit.
Ive never seen that before, a player stop-
ping by like that. But, it was cool, it was nat-
ural, coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday.
People were glad to see him and he was glad
to see guys. Had a chance to see him, give
him a hug and talk for a little bit. So, it was-
nt a big deal.
Despite his fresh start and new big-money
contract, Goldson still has plenty of close
connections with the 49ers.
Being there, I understand their personnel
and who Im dealing with here on Sunday,
Goldson said.
He has gone from winning on a one-year
deal with San Francisco to that multiyear
commitment he long coveted, across the
country with the losing
Buccaneers.
A tough tradeoff at
times, indeed. Yet the vet-
eran safety believes the
Bucs can build their young
team into a contender
much the way the 49ers
have recently, capped by
last seasons return to the
Super Bowl for the rst
time in 18 years.
When the 49ers (9-4) take the eld in
Tampa on Sunday, they will see that familiar
face and hard-hitting defender in the Bucs
secondary. Goldson is determined to do his
best to disrupt Colin Kaepernick, Vernon
Davis, Anquan Boldin and Michael Crabtree
in the passing game.
Of course, I look forward to every Sunday.
Im not looking at it like that, he said. Im
sure my emotions will be flying come
Sunday. Right now Im just trying to get the
game plan down and focus on what I have to
do.
Goldson landed a $41.25 million, ve-year
contract with the Bucs during free agency last
March.

T
here was a time the sportswriter
was the fans lone conduit to their
favorite team. If they werent in
the stands watching the game them-
selves, fans relied on the sports reporter
to paint the picture of what happened.
The reporter also talked to players and
coaches to hopefully give the fans
some insight into why their team won or
lost.
I like to think I carry on that tradition
at the Daily Journal.
My role as a sports-
writer closely mir-
rors the reporters
who came before.
My role is to give
those not in atten-
dance a glimpse into
how a game played
out. After all, how
would you have
known the Aragon
girls basketball
team beat Lincoln-
San Francisco Tuesday night without my
riveting account of the game?
Professional sports? Its a whole new
ballgame. With every game on television
and the Internet, with countless pre-
game, half-time and post-game shows,
with ESPN and other highlight shows
rehashing and going over every major
play with a ne-tooth comb, there is no
more mystery about what happened on
the eld. Fans nowadays no longer have
to wait until the next days newspaper to
see what happened to their favorite team.
Theyve already consumed and formed
opinions about what happened. They
watched, just like the media.

Local sports roundup
By Ronald Blum
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. Pete Rose sounded bowled
over.
Charlie Hustle, who famously attened Ray Fosse to
score the winning run in the 1970 All-Star game, couldnt
believe Major League Baseball intends to eliminate home-
plate collisions by 2015 at the latest.
What are they going to do next, you cant break up a dou-
ble play? Rose said in a telephone interview with the
Associated Press after MLB announced its plan Wednesday.
Youre not allowed to pitch inside. The hitters wear more
armor than the Humvees in Afghanistan. Now youre not
allowed to try to be safe at home plate? Rose said. Whats
the game coming to? Evidently the guys making all these
rules never played the game of baseball.
Still needs approval from players
New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson, chair-
man of the rules committee, made the announcement at the
winter meetings, saying the change would go into effect for
next season if the players association approved. Safety and
concern over concussions were major factors fans still
cringe at the thought of the season-ending hit Buster Posey
absorbed in 2011.
Ultimately what we want to do is change the culture of
acceptance that these plays are ordinary and routine and an
accepted part of the game, Alderson said. The costs asso-
ciated in terms of health and injury just no longer warrant
the status quo.
In a sport long bound by tradition, a ban will be a major
step. MLB also is instituting a vast increase in the use of
instant replay by umpires next season in an effort to elimi-
nate blown calls.
The NFL reached a settlement last summer in a concus-
sion-related lawsuit by former players for $765 million,
and a group of hockey players sued the NHLlast month over
brain trauma.
Banned for life in 1989 following a gambling investiga-
tion, Rose insists Fosse was blocking the plate without the
ball, which is against the rules. Fosse injured a shoulder,
and his career went into a downslide.
Since 1869, baseball has been doing pretty well, Rose
said. The only rules they ever changed was the mound
(height) and the DH. I thought baseball was doing pretty
good. Maybe Im wrong about the attendance gures and the
number of people going to ballgames.
Alderson said wording of the rules change will be pre-
sented to owners for approval at their Jan. 16 meeting in
Paradise Valley, Ariz. Details must be sorted out, such as
what should happen if a catcher blocks the plate without the
ball?
The exact language and how exactly the rule will be
enforced is subject to nal determination, he said. Were
going to do fairly extensive review of the types of plays
that occur at home plate to determine which were going to
nd acceptable and which are going to be prohibited.
Approval of the players union is needed for the rules
change to be effective for 2014.
If the players association were to disapprove, then the
implementation of the rule would be suspended for one year,
but could be implemented unilaterally after that time,
Alderson said.
The union declined comment, pending a review of the pro-
posed change. Some players spoke up on Twitter.
No more home plate collisions?! What is this? NFLquar-
terbacks are catchers now? Oakland outelder Josh Reddick
wrote.
Nothing better than getting run over and showing the
umpire the ball. Please dont ban home plate collisions,
Pittsburgh rookie catcher Tony Sanchez posted.
Totally disagree, added retired catcher John Flaherty,
now an analyst with the Yankees YES Network.
Posey injury got discussion started
Discussion to limit or ban collisions has intensied
since May 2011, when Posey was injured as the Marlins
Scott Cousins crashed the plate. Posey, San Franciscos All-
Star catcher, sustained a broken bone in his lower left leg
and three torn ligaments in his ankle, an injury that ended
his season.
Posey returned to win the NL batting title and MVP award
in 2012, when he led the Giants to their second World Series
title in three seasons.
In Game 5 of this years AL championship series, Detroit
catcher Alex Avila was pulled a couple innings after being
run over at the plate by Bostons David Ross, a fellow
catcher sidelined for much of the season by concussions
resulting from foul tips.
This is, I think, in response to a few issues that have
arisen, Alderson said. One is just the general occurrence
of injuries from these incidents at home plate that affect
players, both runners and catchers. And also kind of the
general concern about concussions that exists not only in
baseball but throughout professional sports and amateur
sports today. Its an emerging issue, and one that we in
baseball have to address, as well as other sports.
Former catchers Joe Girardi, Bruce Bochy and Mike
Matheny all now managing in the majors attended
Wednesdays meeting.
I dont think its completely sparked by anything thats
happened in baseball as much as whats happening outside
of baseball and how its impacting people and impacting
the welfare of each sport, said Matheny, now managing the
St. Louis Cardinals.
But not everyone is in favor of a change.
I lost time as a catcher being run over a couple different
times, but I thought it was part of my job and I enjoyed the
contact, said Girardi, the New York Yankees manager.
Now Im not so sure that everyone enjoys contact. But I
love football, so I liked it.
MLB intends to have varied tiers of punishment.
I think there will be two levels of enforcement,
Alderson said. One will be with respect to whether the run-
ner is declared safe or out based on conduct. So, for exam-
ple, intentionally running over the catcher might result in
an out call. So I think that the enforcement will be on the
eld as well as subsequent consequences in the form of nes
and suspensions and the like.
Still some gray areas
Drafting the rule gures to be complicated.
Does it include at every base or just home plate?
Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. Whats consid-
ered blocking the plate and how do you dene all of it?
The NCAAinstituted a rule on collisions for the 2011 sea-
son, saying contact above the waist that was initiated by
the base runner shall not be judged as an attempt to reach
the base or plate. The umpire can call the runner out and
also eject the player if contact is determined to be malicious
or agrant.
The rule is likely to have an effect on youth leagues, too,
where player safety is a primary concern. Little League run-
ners must either slide or try to get around elders. Plate col-
lisions often are prohibited in high-school ball.
The actual detail, frankly the kinds of plays that were
trying to eliminate, we havent finely determined,
Alderson said. I would expect to put together 100 of these
plays and identify which ones we want to continue to allow
and others that we want to prohibit, and draft a rule accord-
ingly.
Baseball to ban plate collisions

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. Free-agent right-hander
Bartolo Colon and the Mets have reached a deal, giving the
New York the starter it was seeking to replace injured ace
Matt Harvey.
The deal is pending the completion of a physical for the
18-game winner, a person familiar with the negotiations
told The Associated Press. The two-year, $20 million agree-
ment came Wednesday at the winter meetings and increased
the Mets spending on free agents to more than $87 mil-
lion. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because
an agreement had not yet been completed.
Out of baseball in 2010 because of injuries, the 2005 AL
Cy Young Award winner revived his career with New York
and Oakland over the past three years. Even though he will
be 41 in May, Colon went 18-6 last year with a 2.65 ERA
for the Athletics in a season he began by completing a 50-
game suspension for a positive testosterone test. He struck
out 117 and walked only 29 in 190 1-3 innings.
Colon won just 14 games in four seasons after winning
the Cy Young with the Angels. But since
2011, hes 36-25 with a 3.32 ERAand he
earned his third All-Star selection in
2013.
General manager Sandy Alderson had
said he preferred not to go for more than
a one-year contract for a pitcher because
New York had several prospects close to
being ready. But after several years of
budget cutting and meager spending, the
Mets have displayed some scal exibil-
i t y.
Colons deal comes soon after the Mets nalized a $60
million free-agent contract with outfielder Curtis
Granderson, securing the former Yankees outfielder by
being the only team to go to a fourth year. They also gave
outelder Chris Young a $7.25 million, one-year contract
this offseason.
Colon will join a rotation that includes right-handers
Zack Wheeler and Dillon Gee and left-hander Jon Niese. New
York is still looking for a fth starter. Oft-injured Mets
righty Jenrry Mejia could be an option.

NEW YORK The ve power
conferences of college sports want
more flexibility in providing
nancial support to athletes.
A major reason they lack that
freedom in the rst place is other
NCAAmembers have feared widen-
ing the wealthiest programs com-
petitive advantage. Now NCAA
President Mark Emmert and the
leaders of those behemoth leagues
must convince schools with fewer
resources that giving them greater
autonomy is in the best interest of
college athletics.
Whats really hard in these
kinds of things is for people to
vote themselves less political
authority, Big Ten Commissioner
Jim Delany said Wednesday. They
dont do that. Thats not a natural
thing to do.
NCAA leaders are exploring
ways to alter their governing
structure, which would allow the
colleges that can afford it to pay
for certain expenses currently pro-
hibited. That includes offering a
stipend for the costs of attending
school not covered by scholar-
ships.
Emmert told reporters at the
Intercollegiate Athletics Forum
that members are cautiously opti-
mistic an acceptable plan can be
devised. Then again, he was con-
dent two years ago that a Division
I-wide stipend proposal would be
approved. Instead, it stalled
partly because programs with less
money worried it would force them
to choose between unaffordable
costs and falling further behind
their richer rivals.
There are 340 schools in
Division I, and only 120 of them
are in the Football Bowl
Subdivision. Just 65 will be in the
ve power conferences.
As commissioner of the Sun
Belt, Karl Benson leads an FBS
league that lacks an automatic BCS
bid. He supports greater autonomy
for those ve as long as theres
proper oversight and believes a
change will come, though it wont
be very dramatic.
The non-FBS conferences have
mobilized, and rightfully so,
Benson said. I think everyone
wants to protect their turf and
wants to protect their future.
Delany acknowledged that he
and his counterparts dont have
many concessions to offer the
other members to entice them to
approve a change that clearly bol-
sters those ve leagues. But the
tribulations that have recently
roiled college sports may mean
this time really is different. From
the botched investigation of
Miami to lawsuits seeking com-
pensation for athletes, we got to
a tipping point last year, Delany
insisted.
When critics rip universities for
spending lavishly on coaching
salaries and locker rooms while
athletes struggle to pay for basic
expenses, theyre thinking of his
league and the Atlantic Coast
Conference, Big 12, Pacic-12 and
Southeastern Conference. The time
has come for those ve to address
such shortcomings, Delany said.
He argues that the solution bene-
ts all NCAAmembers.
If were not healthy, it doesnt
help them at all, he said after
appearing on a panel with his four
fellow commissioners at the
forum, which is sponsored by IMG
and presented by SportsBusiness
Daily/Global/Journal. When
were criticized, theyre implicitly
criticized.
But the greatest leverage may
come from what could happen if
the power conferences dont get
their way. While their leaders cur-
rently express support for staying
in NCAA Division I, theres
always the risk they could try to
break away unless they gain more
autonomy.
If we can do that, I think we can
stay together, Delany said. If we
cant do that, I think we have to
honestly say, Hey, we not only
have external threats, we have
internal threats. And the internal
threats are that we cant nd a way
to use the NCAAas a town hall for
us to solve our problems.
For now, Emmert said, the con-
versations among schools presi-
dents have been collegial.
Everybody seems to understand
what the high-budget schools
need, and theres an increasing
recognition of what the small-
budget schools need, he added. I
think theyre going to wind up in a
pretty amicable place without any-
body having to do threats or innu-
endos.
Conference USA Commissioner
Britton Banowsky agreed that I
think youre seeing more align-
ment than weve had in a long,
long time.
The challenge is converting sup-
port for broad ideas into votes for
details. The NCAA hopes to pres-
ent proposals to members at its
convention next month. Emmert
joked that reporters there would
get to watch the sausage being
made.
It will be like all democratic
processes clumsy, he said.
Power conferences want more say so in NCAA
By Greg Beacham
LOS ANGELES The UFC is
expanding its promotion of
womens mixed martial arts by
opening a second weight class.
The UFC is adding a 115-pound
strawweight division after acquir-
ing the contracts of 11 ghters
from Invicta FC, the respected
MMApromotion focused on female
ghters. UFC President Dana White
announced the move Wednesday.
The fans like it, Im thrilled with
it, and were going to dive into the
115-pound division, White said in
a phone interview. Were invested.
Were in, as far as the women go.
The 115-pounders will compete
next year on a season of The
Ultimate Fighter, the UFCs com-
petition reality show on Fox Sports
1. White said the winner of the com-
petition, which will begin in May,
will become the UFCs rst
strawweight champion.
The UFC opened a womens ban-
tamweight division late last year,
backtracking on Whites long-
standing declaration that the UFC
would never promote the womens
sport. White and his partners made
the move largely to create a show-
case for Ronda Rousey, the former
Olympic judoka who has swiftly
become one of the UFCs biggest
stars.
From the guy that was saying,
Never, never, Im excited about
the growth, White said. There was
denitely a feeling-out process, and
I think it went extremely well.
White said the UFCs move had
nothing to do with creating content
to ll its ambitious plans for 2014,
which could include up to 50 events
around the world nearly one per
week.
Rousey will defend her belt for a
second time Dec. 28 in Las Vegas
against Miesha Tate, her fellow
coach on the just-concluded season
of The Ultimate Fighter. That edi-
tion of the reality show included
female contestants for the rst
time, but also featured 135-pound
men.
Beyond Rouseys success, White
has been thrilled by his sports
reception for the entire 135-pound
womens division, which has
staged a series of entertaining,
competitive ghts on UFC cards
this year. White is condent the
UFCs move into a second weight
class will prompt a surge in
womens MMA around the world,
and he anticipates signing more
ghters.
There are some talented women
out there, and were going to go
after the best, he said.
The Invicta contracts acquired by
UFC are for strawweights Emily
Kagan, Joanne Calderwood, Paige
VanZant, Tecia Torres, Carla
Esparza, Alex Chambers, Claudia
Gadelha, Felice Herrig, Bec Hyatt,
Juliana Lima and Rose Namajunas.
White believes the UFCs interest
in signing 115-pounders will allow
Invicta to rebuild its strawweight
division quickly.
I think (Invicta) has done a great
job building a brand, White said.
Theyre giving these women
opportunities not only to build
their brand, but to win titles and
someday get into the UFC.

CONCORD, N.C The late Dale
Earnhardts famed No. 3 will be back on
track in the elite Sprint Cup Series next sea-
son with Austin Dillon using the number.
The move has been long anticipated
because car owner Richard Childress has
allowed his grandson to use the No. 3 as hes
moved through NASCARs ranks.
I know in my heart, today, as I sit here,
Dale Earnhardt is smiling down, Childress
said at Wednesdays unveiling. He would
want to see this 3. He didnt want it to ever
go away. But I felt it was the thing to do
right after Daytona, and I know today that
hes accepting this highly. I knew him that
well.
The number has not been used since
Earnhardts death in the 2001 season-open-
ing Daytona 500. The car was rebranded to
No. 29 for Kevin Harvick following
Earnhardts fatal accident.
But Dillon has been using it NASCAR
national competition since 2009, when he
made his Truck Series debut in the No. 3. He
won the Truck championship in 2011 driv-
ing the No. 3 for Richard Childress Racing,
and the Nationwide title this year in the
same number.
Childress kept the number out of the Cup
Series, though, intent on hanging on to it
for the right driver.
We held the number, Ive been paying
NASCAR for it throughout the years and Bill
(France) Jr. told me You know, if were ever
challenged, well have to let someone have
that 3, Childress said. But we werent ,
and I knew that the right opportunity would
come. It would have to be an Earnhardt or
one of the Childress family that we would
put behind that.
Childress said he publicly oated the idea
of allowing Dillon to use the No. 3 at the
start of the year to get a fan response, and
got 90 percent positive feedback the day
after he mentioned the number.
That said to me it was time, and if Austin
wanted to it was his choice, Childress said.
Dillon said he was ready, and its the only
number hes ever used in NASCAR.
My grandfather has done a great job of
teaching me how to handle certain respons-
es to things, and I think were going to go
forward with it, Dillon said. Ive heard a
lot of good feedback from the fans, and
every time Im at an autograph session Ive
had someone ask whats going to happen.
They are excited and we are, too, at RCR.
Its what our sport was built on family
and history and a great opportunity for all
of our sport to see this No. 3 back on the
track.
The No. 3 Chevrolet will be sponsored by
Dow, Bass Pro, Realtree and General Mills.
Neither of the two paint schemes unveiled
Wednesday resembled the dominant black
cars driven by Earnhardt, winner of seven
Cup titles and a rst ballot Hall of Famer.
But Childress believed just having the No.
3 back in the series will help resurrect
Earnhardts legacy.
My hope is that Dale Earnhardt fans will
be re-energized and say Hey, it gives me
something to look at, he said. We know
we arent going to please everyone. We
know that. We are going to do our best to
make them proud and I know Austin will. I
think the new fans will learn a lot about the
great Dale Earnhardt by watching this.
Gil Martin, who led Harvick to six berths
in the Chase for the Sprint Cup champi-
onship, will be crew chief for Dillon.
Childress said hes consulted with Dale
Earnhardt Jr. and his sister, Kelley, every
time hes moved the No. 3 to a different level
on the track and the Earnhardt family has
been supportive. Earnhardt Jr. declined to
use the No. 3 following his fathers death,
but has raced the number in the Nationwide
Series.
I would be worried if I didnt think hed
respect it or not understand the legacy, but
he does. I know he does. He appreciates it,
Earnhardt Jr. said last week of Dillon using
the No. 3.
RCR will eld a three-car Cup lineup next
season with Dillon, Paul Menard and Ryan
Newman.
Ty Dillon will run a full Nationwide Series
schedule, and Childress said Wednesday hes
sold his Truck Series assets to Gallagher
Motorsports.
Iconic No. 3 returning to NASCAR
By Antonio Gonzalez
OAKLAND Stephen Curry made a pull-
up jumper with 1.5 seconds remaining to cap
a sensational fourth quarter, rallying the
Golden State Warriors from 18 points down
to beat the Dallas Mavericks 95-93 on
Wednesday night.
Curry scored 16 of his 33 points in the
nal period. He nished with nine assists,
four rebounds and another big shot in a
young career already full of them.
With the clock winding down, Curry drib-
bled on the perimeter, came off a screen and
faked a shot to send Shawn Marion jumping
past him. Curry then made a 19-footer to
give Golden State the lead for good.
Jose Calderon heaved a desperation shot at
the buzzer that was never close.
Harrison Barnes scored 17 points, David
Lee added 15 points and 11 rebounds, and
Andrew Bogut grabbed a season-high 18
rebounds to help the Warriors overcome 18
turnovers and a sloppy start.
Monta Ellis and Dirk Nowitzki each scored
21 points, and Calderon nished with 18
points as Dallas nished 2-2 on its road trip.
Curry made consecutive 3-pointers to tie
the game at 82 midway through the fourth
quarter. Nowitzki scored the next four points
before Currys pull-up jumper.
Ellis, a former Warriors fan favorite who
was traded to Milwaukee for Bogut two years
ago, answered with a pair of key scores late,
including a layup through trafc that gave
the Mavericks a 92-86 lead. Curry came back
with a four-point play, getting fouled by
Calderon as he made a 3 before hitting the
free throw.
After another defensive stop, reserve
Draymond Green hit a 3-pointer with 49.9
seconds to play that put the Warriors up 93-
92 their rst lead since the opening quar-
ter.
Ellis made one of two free throws to tie the
game. After Curry and Ellis each missed
shots, Curry came off a screen and juked
Marion to make the biggest play of the
night.
The Warriors played seven of their previ-
ous eight on the road, going 4-4 during that
stretch. They opened a string of seven of the
next nine at home, returning to Oracle Arena
short-handed.
Andre Iguodala missed his 10th straight
game with what the team has called a
strained left hamstring. And backup center
Jermaine ONeal sat out with a right wrist
injury.
Dallas started the game determined to end
its road trip on a winning note.
Calderon, Ellis and Nowitzki directed
Dallas to big leads throughout the rst half.
Nowitzki capped the spurt by making a pair
of high-arching 3s to put the Mavericks
ahead 52-34.
Curry pumped some life into the
announced sellout crowd of 19,596 when he
made a 3-pointer that twice bounced on the
rim and the backboard before it dropped. The
shot sliced Dallas lead to six, and the
Mavericks closed the third quarter ahead just
72-66 despite controlling most of the game.
NOTES: ONeal is deciding whether to
have surgery, which will likely end his sea-
son, or wait to see if his wrist heals enough
for him to play. ... Mavericks coach Rick
Carlisle said G Devin Harris, who is recover-
ing from a foot injury, had some swelling in
his left big toe after practicing during the
road trip. Harris had hoped to return in mid-
December but likely wont play until after
Christmas. ... WBA super middleweight
champion Andre Ward was in attendance.

Baltimore, Harbaugh announced he would
make it a priority to re-sign Goldson and
the defender thought he more than deserved
to play on a lengthy contract.
He has been a great addition not only
from a schematic standpoint, but his leader-
ship and attitude, Bucs coach Greg Schiano
said. All those things are a great addition.
Hes a big part of our defense.
The 29-year-old Goldson played on one-
year contracts the past two seasons, includ-
ing the 2012 franchise tag of $6.2 million,
and made it clear he was not for that again.
He had 69 tackles, three interceptions and a
forced fumble last year.
Many others on the San Francisco defense
have received long-term deals, and the 49ers
selected Eric Reid in the rst round of this
years draft to replace Goldson and he has
made an immediate impact as a hard hitter
like Goldson, with three interceptions and
61 tackles while dealing with a pair of con-
cussions.
No hard feelings on Goldsons part.
Hes really good, a raw talent, Goldson
said. Theyre going to be good for years to
come. Hes got to stay healthy.
Goldsons former teammates are cheering
him from afar aside from this Sunday, that
is and thrilled he landed that large con-
tract at last.
Dashon and I, we came in together, line-
backer Patrick Willis said. We kind of grew
in this league together, so hell always be
close to me and dear to me as a teammate. I
know him like a brother. But were very for-
tunate to have Eric and all the things hes
brought to this team.
When Goldson stopped by last month, he
only felt slightly out of place.
I know somebody made a remark that was
kind of absurd. Whatever. ... He was asking,
I dont remember who it was, What you
doing, spying on us? Goldson said. I
thought that was ridiculous. It was coming
from a room I walked in.
Kaepernick certainly knows whats com-
ing with Goldson on the other side.
Dashons a great player, does a lot of
great things, has a lot of range on the back
end, Kaepernick said. One of my good
friends.
Not es: LG Mike Iupati returned to prac-
tice as Harbaugh expected, though his status
is still unclear for Sunday. He has missed the
past three games with a sprained left knee.
... Kaepernick traded jerseys with former
teammate and current Seahawks WR Ricardo
Lockette on Sunday. First time,
Kaepernick said. Hes a good friend.
Wanted to keep that as memento.
Continued from page 11
GOLDSON
Streater had just 49 catches in two seasons
there, including only 19 his senior season.
That was a big reason why he never
expected to have a chance in the NFL. But he
decided he would keep working out anyway
after his nal college season and impressed
scouts at his pro day.
Despite not being drafted in April,
Streater was targeted immediately by
Oakland and signed as an undrafted free
agent. He made a quick impression at a rook-
ie minicamp and has kept up the strong per-
formance ever since.
He now has a chance to become the 19th
undrafted player since the 1970 merger to
reach 1,000 yards receiving in a single sea-
son.
Hes done a good job for us, coach
Dennis Allen said. Hes been very consis-
tent and thats what weve come to expect
out of Rod, especially coming in being an
undrafted free agent, making his way into
the starting lineup. Hes been a consistent
player for us.
NOTES: WR Denarius Moore returned to
practice for the rst time since injuring his
shoulder against Houston. His status for
this week is up in the air. ... RB Darren
McFadden is still sidelined by an ankle
injury that forced him to miss last weeks
game. ... RB Jeremy Stewart (ankle, knee)
and DL Vance Walker (concussion) also did
not practice. ... The Raiders have added LB
Eric Harper and WR Jared Green to the prac-
tice squad. Green is the son of Hall of Fame
CB Darrell Green.
STREATER
Down 18 after the rst quarter, Aragon (3-1)
turned up the pressure defensively which
jump-started the Dons offense. They
outscored the Cougars 19-8 in the second
quarter and trailed just 33-26 at halftime.
The second half was a blur as both teams hit
their strides. The teams combined for 84 sec-
ond-half points. When Kevin Hahn knocked
down the third of his game-high ve 3-point-
ers, the Dons trailed just 40-38 with 4:24 to
play in the third quarter. But the Cougars
responded with a 17-4 run to close the period
and lead 57-42 going into the fourth quarter.
Aragon knocked down four 3-pointers in
the fourth period, but Half Moon Bay never
panicked. The fact the Dons are such prolic
3-point shooters meant Forslunds team could
never relax.
They can knock down a lot of 3s,
Forslund said. They give us some matchup
problems.
It was the 3-pointer that kept the Dons in
the game as they hit 10 of them.
They put a zone on us and we love playing
(against the) zone, Manu said. [We] love
shooting from the outside.
Aragon was paced by point guard Alex
Manu who, despite struggling from the eld
with his shot, led all scorers with 25 points.
Hahn added 19, while Toby Liebergesell n-
ished with 12.
While Aragon may have enjoyed the advan-
tage from the perimeter, Half Moon Bay dom-
inated the boards. The Cougars out-rebounded
the Dons 39-12.
Half Moon Bay opened the game with an 8-
0 run three layups and a putback before
Hahn slashed to the bucket for a layup to give
Aragon its rst points of the game.
The Cougars responded with a 9-0 run and
were up 17-2 with less than half the rst quar-
ter played.
Manu hit a pair of free throws to briey
slow the Cougars, but they nished the quarter
with an 8-3 run to lead 25-7 after the opening
quarter.
In the second period, the Dons nally found
their legs and turned the tables on the
Cougars. After Nuno hit a pair of free throws
to put Half Moon Bay up 31-18, Aragon
scored the next eight points to close to 31-26
and trailed by seven, 33-26, at halftime.
Aragon got close in the second half, but the
Cougars held them off.
I think we have a little more talent than
they do, Forslund said. That was the differ-
ence.

Thats why I nd it somewhat interesting
to read some local members of the media
criticizing San Francisco 49ers quarterback
Colin Kaepernick for being less than ver-
bose at his post-game media sessions.
Kaepernick has been described as curt at
best and rude at worst when it comes to
dealing with the media, which leads me to
ask: does anyone really care what
Kaepernick has to say? Obviously he does-
nt say much, so why keep going back to
him for a quote?
Not that I blame Kaepernick. He doesnt
say anything of interest because I believe
he does not want to give any kind of sound
bite that could come back to bite him.
Baltimore rookie defensive back Matt Elam
stuck his foot in his mouth the other day
by essentially saying Detroit wide receiver
Calvin Megatron Johnson was too old.
Washington quarterback Robert Grifn III
was perceived to have thrown teammates
and coaches under the bus for some innocu-
ous comment he made a few weeks ago.
Kaepernick will be damned if he allows
anyone to twist his words.
Besides, Kaepernick is just following the
footsteps of his coach, Jim Harbaugh. He
gives the same type of bland, non-answers
nearly every other pro coach uses, yet the
local media appears to have made peace
with that.
Talk radio Wednesday was all over the
Kaepernick-media subject, which led to
this line of questioning: by all but snub-
bing the media, is Kaepernick living up to
the face of the franchise tag bestowed
upon the starting quarterback of every good
team?
Lets leave that decision to the media
because its a no-win question. There will
be a faction of fans who want to see
Kaepernicks personality come through and
others along with his teammates who
just need the quarterback to go out and win
games.
And lets face it, much like learning to
play the game on the eld in the NFL,
players have to learn to play the media
game. All this media attention is relatively
new for Kaepernick, who saw nowhere near
this much publicity as he quietly toiled
away at University of Nevada. Suddenly,
hes the starting quarterback for one of the
most storied franchises in sports. Cut him
some slack. Hell learn how to better deal
with the media, just as he continues to
grow as an NFL quarterback.

KIEV, Ukraine Opposition leaders in
Ukraine rejected President Viktor
Yanukovychs offer of talks Wednesday,
saying they will not sit down with him until
he res his government and releases all
arrested demonstrators.
That stance reected their growing con-
dence after the abrupt withdrawal of riot
police from parts of Ukraines capital early
Wednesday raised protesters hopes that
weeks of demonstrations have eroded police
support for Yanukovych and his govern-
ment.
Yanukovych issued an invitation late in
the day to political, religious and civil g-
ures to join a national dialogue. But it gave
no details about a proposed date for the
talks and could have been merely an
attempt to buy time and mollify Western
ofcials.
The opposition reaction was scathing.
Instead of a round table, what we got is a
breakup (with) truncheons. The authorities
are driving into a dead end, opposition
leader Oleksandr Turchynov said.
Yuri Lutsenko, a former Interior Minister
who is now another opposition leader, said
the police retreat shows that basically
only some units remain loyal to
Yanukovych.
This is a great victory, Arseniy
Yatsenyuk, leader of the largest opposition
party in parliament, said of the police with-
drawal. He spoke from the stage at Kievs
central Independence Square, where protest-
ers have set up an extensive protest tent
camp manned around the clock.
Western diplomats have increased their
pressure on Yanukovych to seek a solution
to the tensions that have paralyzed this eco-
nomically troubled nation of 46 million. In
response, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov
and other ofcials promised Wednesday that
police would not act against peaceful pro-
testers.
I want to calm everyone down there
will be no dispersal of protesters, Interior
Minister Vitaly Zakharchenko said in a
statement, which did not explain why thou-
sands of helmeted and shield-bearing police
were deployed in the rst place.
Assistant U.S. Secretary of State Victoria
Nuland met with Yanukovych on Wednesday
after visiting the protest camp.
I made it absolutely clear that what hap-
pened last night, what is happening in secu-
rity terms here, is absolutely impermissible
in a European state, a democratic state, she
said, referring to police scufes with pro-
testers.
In Washington, the State Department said
it is evaluating all options, including pos-
sible U.S. sanctions against Ukraine. It did-
nt provide details, but in the past the U.S.
has imposed asset freezes and travel bans on
senior ofcials in oppressive governments.
Yanukovychs shelving in November of
an agreement with the European Union to
deepen economic and political ties has set
off weeks of protests. Supporters of the EU
pact including many in Kiev, the capital
want Ukraine to become closer to
Western Europe and distance itself from
Russia, which ruled or dominated Ukraine
for centuries.
Russia has worked hard to derail the
accord, issuing a variety of trade threats,
and Ukrainians in the east look more favor-
ably on aligning closer with Russia.
Yanukovych, who is seeking a bailout loan
from the International Monetary Fund to
keep Ukraine from going bankrupt, is sen-
sitive to the economic disruption that trade
disputes with Russia can cause.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton
was also in Kiev, meeting with both gov-
ernment ofcials and opposition gures to
urge them to hold talks.
The urry of police action in Kiev began
about 1 a.m., when phalanxes approached
Independence Square from several direc-
tions, tearing down some tents and barri-
cades and scufing with some protesters.
Many protesters, wearing orange construc-
tion hats to protect themselves from police
truncheons, locked arms against the police
and some scufes broke out.
Separately, three buses of riot police
parked on the steps of the city administra-
tion building, about 300 meters (yards)
away from the square. Protesters poured
water on the steps, which quickly froze, and
grappled with police.
The police returned to the buses and pulled
away hours later, as protesters shouted
Shame! and Way to go! The larger
police contingent at the square also left and
by Wednesday afternoon, new tents and bar-
ricades were being put up.
The protests are the biggest since
Ukraines pro-democracy Orange
Revolution in 2004, which forced the annul-
ment of Yanukovychs presidential victory
in a fraud-tainted election and ushered his
pro-Western opponents into power.
Ukrainian leader offers talks, protesters say no
injury and battery causing serious bodily injury. After
entering his plea, he was scheduled for jury trial April 1.
Prosecutors originally charged him with committing a
hate crime in the attack that left the 55-year-old victim
with a fractured skull, jaw, orbital bone and rib. However,
a judge dropped the charge for lack of evidence at an ear-
lier hearing.
Prosecutors contend Marquez-Montiagudo and another
friend met up with the victim July 20 at a San Mateo
taqueria where the victim shared his bisexuality.
After the trio left the business to drink elsewhere,
Marquez-Montiagudo told the victim not to walk by him
because he didnt want others to mistake him as gay.
When the man refused to leave, Marquez-Montiagudo
grabbed the lock from his bike and began beating his
head and body, according to the District Attorneys
Office. San Mateo police found the badly injured man
near the 700 block of Santa Inez Avenue and Marquez-
Montiagudo at home.
His defense, though, claims that while Marquez-
Montiagudo did fight with the man it was not based in
hate of his sexuality and that he reacted to first being
pushed. His attorney said all participants were drunk and
unclear about what exactly did happen.
Marquez-Montiagudo remains in custody on a $1 mil-
lion bail bond and, if freed, is prohibited from contacting
his alleged victim.

NEW YORK Time magazine selected
Pope Francis as its Person of the Year on
Wednesday, saying the Catholic Churchs
new leader has changed the perception of
the 2,000-year-old institution in an
extraordinary way in a short time.
The pope beat out NSA leaker Edward
Snowden for the distinction, which the
newsmagazine has been giving each year
since 1927.
The former Argentine Cardinal Jorge
Mario Bergoglio was
elected in March as the
first pope from Latin
America and the first
Jesuit. Since taking over
at the Vatican, he has
urged the Catholic
Church not to be
obsessed with small-
minded rules and to
emphasize compassion
over condemnation in
dealing with touchy topics like abortion,
gays and contraception.
He has denounced the worlds idolatry of
money and the global scandal that near-
ly 1 billion people today go hungry, and
has charmed the masses with his simple
style and wry sense of humor. His appear-
ances draw tens of thousands of people and
his @Pontifex Twitter account recently
topped 10 million followers.
He really stood out to us as someone
who has changed the tone and the percep-
tion and the focus of one of the worlds
largest institutions in an extraordinary
way, said Nancy Gibbs, the magazines
managing editor.
The Vatican said the honor wasnt sur-
prising given the resonance in the general
public that Francis has had, but it neverthe-
less said the choice was a positive recog-
nition of spiritual values in the interna-
tional media.
The Holy Father is not looking to
become famous or to receive honors, said
the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico
Lombardi. But if the choice of Person of
Year helps spread the message of the
Gospel a message of Gods love for
everyone he will certainly be happy
about that.

Make your Holiday
By Holly Ramer
The holidays are a great time to pull out
the old photos and reminisce, but theres no
need to huddle around a dusty album. There
are a variety of ways to get them out in the
open by making them part of your holiday
decorations.
And once youve gone through the trouble
of scanning and reprinting originals, its
easy to make duplicates that can be turned
into to gifts for family members.
Make a bold, modern statement by print-
ing 4-inch-square photos, connecting them
with small plastic clips in a grid shape and
hanging it on the wall. A large square is
striking, but the clips allow for endless pos-
sibilities. AChristmas tree shape, perhaps?
Keep things bright with a series of color
photographs, or go for a more elegant look
with black and white.
For a more traditional look, arrange the
photographs in a circle and stick them on a
cardboard ring to create a photo wreath.
Leave it plain, or decorate with a few sprigs
of faux holly tucked among the pictures.
Take the photos off the wall by having
them printed on a sofa throw pillow. This
project takes a bit more work because it
involves printing on fabric, but the result is
an unexpected way to showcase favorite
family photos.
All three projects below are built around a
snippet of the classic song Have Yourself a
Merry Little Christmas. Incorporating the
phrase through the years we all will be
together in each project adds a bit of color
and ties together pictures that span many
years.
WALL GRID
MATERIALS:
21 4-by-4-inch photos
photo clips (mine were called foto-
clips, purchased from photojojo.com)
1 sheet of card stock
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Use word processing or photo editing
software to create an 8.25-inch square. Fill
with red or the color of your choice. Add
white text that reads through the years we
all will be together. Print and trim to size.
2. Arrange photos in a 5-by-5 grid, with
the text box positioned in the lower right-
hand corner, one row and column in from the
edge.
3. Use the clips to attach the pictures to
each other.
4. Hang on wall, using double-stick tape
or other adhesive.
PHOTO WREATH
MATERIALS:
12 or more 4-by-4-inch photos
large piece of cardboard, at least 16 inch-
es square.
craft knife
double-stick tape
faux holly or other greenery (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
software to create a 4-by-4-inch square,
lled with red. Add white text that reads
through the years we all will be together.
Print and trim to size.
2. Cut a 16-inch circle out of cardboard.
Cut another circle in the middle to create a
ring that is approximately 3 inches wide.
3. Arrange pictures around the ring,
including the text box. Try to keep them in
a circular shape, while avoiding overlap-
ping key parts of any image.
4. Once the pictures are in position, care-
fully tape them to the ring and to each other.
5. Add decorations if desired.
PILLOW
MATERIALS:
15 scanned photos, each 3.5-by-3.5
Song lyrics, photos combine for holiday decor

NEW YORK Milk and spiders? Nine
lazy Hansons? Sleep in heavenly peas?
Its that time of year: holiday music time.
And with holiday music comes all the
strange and twisted things we sometimes
think were hearing.
Mondegreens, the moniker for misheard
words in song, arent restricted to holiday
standards, of course, but the old-timey lan-
guage of some seems to serve as a botched-
lyric magnet.
Lest you think funny turns on song lyrics
are the stuff of childhoods, Missy OReilly
knows otherwise. Shes an actress, comedi-
an and co-owner of Planet Rose, a karaoke
haven on Manhattans Lower East Side.
Im the biggest Christmas nerd, so Im
always encouraging people to sing
Christmas music, she said. Some people
are really surprised when they see what the
real words are.
Look no further than Snopes.com for
handy examples submitted by readers of the
website that collects and debunks urban leg-
ends, folklore, myths, rumors and misinfor-
mation. Noting that mondegreens arent
parody, but words we actually think were
listening to, Snopes keeps a list of holiday
gems.
For The Twelve Days of Christmas,
theres Ten lawyers leaving and Nine
lazy Hansons. Later weve got Six
geezers laying, along with a paltry tin-
affair tree. Those are in lieu of lords a-leap-
ing, ladies dancing, geese a-laying and the
obligatory partridge in a pear tree, fyi.
If ever youve made it to the fourth verse
of Winter Wonderland, youll be relieved
to know it doesnt include Later on milk
and spiders, as we dream by the re, but
rather: Later on well conspire . And that
snowman you may or may not build in the
meadow? You should pretend hes Parson
Brown, not sparse and brown, or
parched and brown. Just sayin.
There are most denitely no peas in
Silent Night, but heavenly peace. In
Santa Claus Is Comin to Town, the big
guy in red does this: making a list,
checkin it twice. Not this: making a list,
of chicken and rice.
Sometimes, OReilly said, an entire holi-
day song is one big what?! She was think-
ing of the haunting yet beautiful to the
Six geezers laying? Holidays bring on song botches

Youre mishearing where one word ends and another
word begins.This is called misdivision. And sometimes youre
mishearing a word itself. It sounds like another word to you, and so
you try to match that sound up with a word that you already know
that kind of ts into the plot, if there is one. And thats called reanalysis.

SUBURBAN LIVING 21
By Lee Reich
With many trees and shrubs
now bereft of leaves and flowers,
more subtle aspects of the land-
scape come into focus. Atree that
many people hardly notice cap-
tures my full attention specifi-
cally, its bark.
Hackberry bark will not stop
you in your tracks as does the dra-
matic, shiny red, peeling bark of
paperbark maple or the ghostly
white bark of lacebark pine.
Hackberry bark possesses a sub-
tle beauty, subtle even in a subtle
landscape. You have to recognize
the bark, then stop and really
look at it.
Hackberry bark is at its best on
a clear wintry day when no leafy
canopy obstructs the sun, and
when the sun is low enough to
glance sideways off the gray
barks arranged ridges. Take a
look at the way the barks corky
ridges create crisp areas of light
and shadow evocative of those
sharp, achromatic photographs
of the lunar landscape.
Hackberry, although native
throughout much of the U.S., is
not all that common a tree.
Pockets exist here and there,
often near waterways.
HACKBERRYS APPEAL
GOES BEYOND ITS BARK
Hackberry is also worth atten-
tion in other seasons. It bears a
delectable fruit that tastes like a
date. Unfortunately, the fruit is
only the size of a large pea and
much of it is pit. Still its worth a
nibble.
Birds also appreciate the fruits.
Birds that feed on hackberries
include cedar waxwings, mock-
ingbirds, American robins, blue-
birds, yellow-bellied sapsuckers,
northern flickers and quail. The
berries continue to hang from the
branches well into winter. They
are among the preferred winter
foods for wild turkeys.
ELM-ISH QUALITIES
In many respects, hackberry is
similar to the American elm, to
which it is related. Although nei-
ther plant has colorful flowers in
the spring or blazing foliage in
autumn, both these bottomland
trees tolerate diverse soil condi-
tions. Hackberry tolerates even a
greater range of environmental
conditions than does the elm,
laughing off drought, pollution
and wind. Both trees also are easy
to transplant, and grow rapidly.
The quality for which the
American elm is most loved, and
which hackberry also possesses,
is form. Both grow to become
large, vase-shaped trees, majestic
on their own or divine when
planted in rows on either side of
an avenue, over which their upper
branches meet to form a natural
cathedral.
PESTS? NOT TO WORRY
American elm gets Dutch elm
disease, which has decimated the
species as a landscape plant.
Hackberry, besides having attrac-
tive bark and tasty fruits, is
immune to Dutch elm disease.
Hackberry is prone to a couple
of diseases, notably nipple-gall
on the leaves and witches broom
on branches and twigs. These
afflictions cause some disfigure-
ment, but not the death of the
plant.
Im not suggesting planting
hackberries now in the way
American elms were planted in
the 19th century, up and down
every street and in every park.
Such planting, especially if it
were just a single hackberry vari-
ety Windy City or Prairie
Pride, for instance would
invite disaster. A disease that
found fertile ground could run
rampant and denude the land-
scape.
I do suggest that you keep an
eye out for hackberry trees, espe-
cially now, and admire them. And,
occasionally, plant one.
Hackberrys worth a second look
Hackberry bark is at its best on a clear wintry day when no leafy canopy obstructs the sun, and when the sun is
low enough to glance sideways off the gray barks arranged ridges.Take a look at the way the barks corky ridges
create crisp areas of light and shadow evocative of those sharp,achromatic photographs of the lunar landscape.

INSTRUCTIONS:
software to create a collage of photos in a 4-
by-4 grid. Make one of the squares a solid
box, lled with red, with the text through the
years we all will be together in white. You
can position the text box wherever you like;
I put mine in the third row and third column.
2. Since the pillow front is larger than the
sheets of printable fabric paper, youll need
to divide your collage into four quadrants and
print one per sheet of fabric. Follow the
instructions on the fabric sheets to make sure
you use the best settings for your printer.
3. Trim each printed quadrant, leaving a
quarter-inch border around all four sides.
4. Leaving the paper backing on the fabric
sheets will make it easier to cut and line up
the fabric for sewing. Sew the top two quad-
rants together, carefully lining up the edges.
Use a seam allowance that is just a hair wider
than a quarter inch to make sure you are
sewing right along the edge of the pictures
and not on the white border. Repeat with bot-
tom two quadrants.
5. Sew the top two quadrants to the bottom
two quadrants to complete the square, and
then peel off the paper backing from the fab-
ric. Press seam allowances open.
6. Cut two rectangles of fabric for pillow
back, each 14-by-9 inches. Fold over one of
the long edges on each piece by 1/4 inch and
then again by 1/2 inch to enclose the raw
edge; sew along the long edge.
7. Lay the backing pieces at, with the
wrong side of the fabric facing down and the
pieces overlapped to make a 14-inch square.
Lay the pillow top over the backing, right
side down, and pin around the edges.
8. Sew around the entire pillow with a quar-
ter-inch seam. Turn right side out and insert
pillow form.
DECOR
ears of some critics Fairytale of New
York, co-written by Shane MacGowen of
the Celtic punk group The Pogues.
An Irish immigrant recalling a Christmas
Eve stay in a New York City drunk tank tells
of an inebriated older cellmate whose rendi-
tion of a traditional ballad spins the thickly
brogued narrator (MacGowen) into a
raunchy imagining of a debauched life with
the old dittys female character.
Its a beautiful, beautiful song but people
are always confused by what the words are,
OReilly said. Its really hard to decipher
the words.
Not to get all wonky, but the song isnt
really a mondegreen. Grant Barrett, co-host
of the public radio show on language, A
Way with Words, denes mondegreens this
way, explaining they can happen for poetry
and other spoken language as well:
Youre mishearing where one word ends
and another word begins. This is called mis-
division. And sometimes youre mishearing
a word itself. It sounds like another word to
you, and so you try to match that sound up
with a word that you already know that kind
of ts into the plot, if there is one. And
thats called reanalysis, he said.
Dont mind him. Hes a lexicographer,
and he claims he has no mondegreens of his
own.
I misremember, said Barrett, in San
Diego. Thats different. I always joke that I
know the rst 10 percent of thousands of
songs and thats it.
The word mondegreen, he said, can be
traced to Sylvia Wright and a column
she wrote in Harpers Magazine in 1954
titled, The Death of Lady
Mondegreen. Wright discovered that
for years she had botched the last line
of the first stanza of the Scottish folk
ballad The Bonnie Earl o Moray.
How it goes, with spellings based on
updates of antiquated English: They have
slain the Earl of Moray, and laid him on the
green.
What she heard: They have slain the Earl
of Moray, and Lady Mondegreen.
Babes are little mondegreen machines.
Paula Werne, who works at a holiday theme
park in Santa Claus, Ind., had one in her
son, John, who is now 22.
As a tot of 3 he took to singing Jolly Old
Saint Nicholas to his stuffed animals out of

turned Christmas Eve is coming soon; now

right the rst time, you dont want to
doctor it. I dont want to be married
to my computer editing, Swafford
said.
Swaffords current exhibit titled the
image has a story is a combination
of his professionally commissioned
and personally discovered photo-
graphs from the past decade. But
instead of providing a caption and
description of what the viewer is look-
ing at, he asks the viewer to impose
their own story. People connect to art
through their own personal experi-
ences, Swafford said.
Its the viewers interactions and
emotions. All I can do is put this in
front of the viewer and see if I cause an
emotional reaction. Its sort of fun,
Swafford said.
San Mateo Main Library visitors
will see a range of Swaffords shots.
The selection for Swaffords display is
eclectic, from a friendly pack of dogs
surrounded by crystal blue water in
Belize and the sun-kissed rusted walls
of Alcatraz to the force behind the
Americas Cup race and folk singer
Joan Baez mid-song.
Most of Swaffords photos are cen-
tered on nature or people in move-
ment. The photojournalist in him
highlights things that affect society
while his fine art photography is
aimed at the more curious side, things
that one could bump into, Swafford
said.
Having shot for magazines and com-
panies that have taken him around the
world, hes learned to appreciate differ-
ent customs and discovering what goes
on outside a location shoot, Swafford
said.
A life with multiple cultures is
important to anybody, it keeps you
human, Swafford said.
When he is off shooting without a
schedule, hes looking to step away
from the glamor shots and look at dif-
ferent angles, Swafford said.
If it looks like a postcard, I wont
be shooting it, Swafford said. If it
looks like the most wonderful sunset,
Im not there.
Agood representation of a subject is
one that doesnt look posed but feels
right, Swafford said. When asked about
where the photo was taken, he
describes whats outside the parameter
of the photo, he has a story. But when
he hangs around near his work to talk
with visitors, he usually wont tell it,
Swafford said.
I dont tell people these stories, I
let people tell me what they see,
Swafford said. Everyones got a differ-
ent story. I dont project, I let them
have their own story.

al kindergarten for 4-year-olds.
The plan outlined by Perez on behalf
of his Democratic members is the
opening salvo in a budget debate
expected to last until June.
Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, will
propose his budget next month and
revise his projections in May.
Spokesman H.D. Palmer said the gov-
ernors priorities will be paying down
long-term debt and building a budget
reserve with the states anticipated
surplus, which is partly a result of
temporary increases in sales and
income taxes approved by voters last
year before conditions began improv-
i ng.
The states independent legislative
analyst last month projected annual
operating surpluses approaching $10
billion a year by the 2017-18 scal
year if current spending and revenue
policies continue.
Republican legislative leaders have
also urged nancial prudence and pay-
ing down the billions of dollars owed
to state pension funds and retiree
health care. They have objected to
Perezs proposal to change the rainy
day fund ballot measure negotiated by
former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger
and his fellow Republican lawmakers
three years ago. Democrats shifted
that Republican proposal, originally
slated for the June 2012 primary, to
the November 2014 general election.
With budget surpluses forecast for
the rst time in several years, many
groups will be seeking funding for
their interests next year. On
Wednesday, a group of environmental
and local government groups called
on Brown to pay back about $500 mil-
lion that was diverted to the general
fund this year from the states cap-and-
trade fund, which is intended to help
reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Brown has actually talked a lot
about the urgency of addressing cli-
mate change and we agree with him on
that. Now we need him to put our
money where his mouth is, said Bill
Magavern, policy director at
Coalition for Clean Air.
BUDGET
done the right way.
Of the lots the city wants to trans-
form into homes, PG&E owns seven
and the city owns three. In addition,
the city owns two other lots that are
envisioned to be used for open spaces.
Reforesting the canyon is another step
in the process to bringing the area
back on track.
Eight people died as a result of a
Sept. 9, 2010, PG&E pipeline explo-
sion and re in the Crestmoor neigh-
borhood. There were also 66 people
injured, traumatizing a community and
affecting the entire city.
Developing all 10 lots at the same
time is a way of wrapping up the proj-
ect, so neighbors can return to some
sense of normalcy, said Councilman
Rico Medina.
Its in the interest of the communi-
t y, Medina said. Its been three years
of construction and its best for the
neighborhood to continue the process
of rebuilding. We want to see an end in
sight and move forward.
According to a timeline in the staff
report, the negotiation and execution
of the development agreement between
the city and builder of the homes will
likely wrap up in January or February
of 2014. If it goes through, home con-
struction would last from June 2014 to
about March 2015. Design plans could
start as soon as February 2014 and the
design and review would last from May
to June 2014. Sales and occupancy
would begin in December 2013 and go
until May 2015, the report stated.
Proceeds from the city lots are envi-
sioned to be deposited in the San
Bruno Community Foundation
account. PG&E has identified the
intent that any funds the company
receives in excess of the purchase
price they paid shall be donated to
charity such that the company will not
prot from the sale of the lots, accord-
ing to the report.

your life, if youre ready for it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Ask questions if
you arent sure what to do. Someone is likely to
withhold important information that you need to
make a decision. A last-minute change will help you
get back on course.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) A little give and take
will be called for, today, but dont be afraid to ask
for what you want. Keep it simple and to the point,
and offer as much in return as you receive. Strive for
equality in all that you do.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Dont be afraid to initiate
change. A change of environment will do you good.
Gravitate toward people and places that are unfamiliar
and have something unique to offer.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Get out and strut your
stuff. Youll attract attention and interest in what you
have to offer. Personal improvements will turn out
well, and romance is on the rise.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Keep life simple and limit
your spending. Focus on emotional situations that need
to be dealt with before you make a life-changing move.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Explore your options
today. Personal encounters will lead to shared ideas
and the possibility of a partnership. Love and romance
are highlighted, and travel plans should be made.

WORLD 31
By Alan Clendenning and Ray Faure
JOHANNESBURG As one world leader
after another paid homage to Nelson
Mandela at a memorial service, the man
standing at arms length from them
appeared to interpret their words in sign
language. But advocates for the deaf say he
was a faker.
The incident, which outraged deaf people
and sign-language interpreters watching the
service broadcast around the globe, raised
questions of how the unidentied man man-
aged to crash a supposedly secure event
attended by scores of heads of state, includ-
ing President Barack Obama.
It also was another example of the prob-
lems plaguing Tuesdays memorial, includ-
ing public transportation breakdowns that
hindered mourners going to the soccer sta-
dium and a faulty audio system that made the
speeches inaudible for many. Police also
failed to search the rst wave of crowds who
rushed into the stadium after the gates were
opened just after dawn.
The man, who stood about a yard (one
meter) from Obama and other leaders, was
moving his hands around, but there was no
meaning in what he used his hands for,
Bruno Druchen, national director of the
Deaf Federation of South Africa, told the
Associated Press on Wednesday.
When South African Deputy President
Cyril Rampaphosa told the crowd that for-
mer South African President F.W. de Klerk
was among the guests, the man at his side
used a strange pushing motion unknown in
sign language that did not identify de Klerk
or say anything about his presence, said
Ingrid Parkin, principal of the St. Vincent
School for the Deaf in Johannesburg.
The closest the mans gestures came to
anything in sign language at that point
might possibly be the words for running
horse, friend or beyond, she said, but
only by someone who signs terribly.
The man also used virtually no facial
expressions to convey the often-emotional
speeches, an absolute must for sign-lan-
guage interpreters, Parkin said.
Collins Chabane, one of South Africas
two presidency ministers, said the govern-
ment is investigating alleged incorrect use
of sign language at the National Memorial
Service, but has not nished because it has
been overwhelmed with organizing the pub-
lic viewing of Mandelas body in Pretoria
and his funeral Sunday in his hometown of
Qunu. He did not identify the man, but said
the government will report publicly on
any information it may establish.
U.S. Secret Service spokesman Ed
Donovan said in response to an emailed
question by the APthat agreed-upon securi-
ty measures between the U.S. Secret Service
and South African government security of-
cials were in place during the service.
Program items such as stage participants
or sign-language interpreters were the
responsibility of the host organizing com-
mittee, Donovan added.
Interpreter for deaf at Mandela event called fake
REUTERS
A fake sign language interpreter took to the stage during the memorial for anti-apartheid
leader Nelson Mandela, gesticulating gibberish before a global audience of millions and
outraging deaf people across the world.While dignitaries were addressing the crowd in the
95,000-seat Soccer City stadium,the young,suited man with an ofcial security pass round his
neck produced a series of hand signals that experts said meant absolutely nothing.

NEW DELHI Indias Supreme Court
struck down a 2009 lower court decision to
decriminalize homosexual conduct, dealing
a blow Wednesday to gay activists who have
fought for years for the chance to live open-
ly in Indias deeply conservative society.
The judges said only lawmakers and not
the courts could change a colonial-era law
that bans homosexual acts and makes them
punishable by up to a decade in prison.
The lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
community across India reacted to the sur-
prise decision with deance.
We cannot be forced back into the closet.
We are not backing off from our ght against
discrimination, said Gautam Bhan, an
activist who had petitioned the court.
After the ruling, dozens of activists out-
side the court began crying and hugging
each other in consolation.
This is a very sad day for us, we are
back to square one in our fight for the
democratic rights of the gay communi-
t y, said Ashok Row Kavi of the activist
group Humsafar Trust.
Lawyers and supporters of gays, lesbians
and transsexuals vowed to continue pressing
for the removal of the law, which they say
encourages discrimination, even if it is
rarely invoked by prosecutors.
We feel very let down, said lawyer Anand
Grover, who had argued the case on behalf of
the advocacy group NAZ Foundation.
