The recent construction boom in
downtown Redwood City is proving
to be a double-edged sword for the
city, signaling an economic upturn
complete with new housing options
but clogging streets and making it
harder to nd parking.
In the next three years, housing
units are expected to spike as large-
scale projects like the Kaiser
Medical Center rebuild also nish
up. While completion will bring its
own parking needs, current con-
struction is crimping limited avail-
ability downtown because between
300 and 500 workers need spots for
their vehicles at any given time.
The workers have lled some pri-
vate spaces at Kohls and Target
store lots but also take up stalls the
city prefers to have open for patrons
of downtown businesses. Road
blocks and lot closures only add to
the congestion and city ofcials say
its not going away any time soon.
Its the good and bad of being
successful, Community
Development Director Bill Ekhern
told the City Council at its recent
meeting.
Hoping to soften the existing
challenges and prepare for upcom-
ing developments, the city is look-
ing at ways to get out ahead of the
situation.
All construction going forward
must have a parking plan to secure
the necessary permits and develop-
ers must meet with city ofcials
monthly to coordinate parking for
the next two to three years.
While the Kaiser expansion is
probably the most signicant proj-
ect downtown, Ekhern said the city
is also in the midst of several other

An 18-year-old East Palo Alto
man was arrested yesterday for his
part in a shooting on Highway 101
in Belmont Sept. 30 that sent three
people to the hospital, one who was
shot in the head.
Eric Valencia Vargas was arrested
in Redwood City yesterday and is
being charged with multiple felonies
including attempted homicide,
according to the Belmont Police
Department.
He was taken into custody on the
700 block of Veterans Boulevard at
about 1 p.m. in an operation that
involved several local law enforce-
ment agencies, according to police.
This suspect is an extremely dan-
gerous individual and we are
pleased that he has been taken into
custody, said Belmont Police Chief
Dan DeSmidt. The positive out-
come to this investigation is due to
the professionalism and high degree
of cooperation between all of the
ofcers and agencies involved.
The shooting originated in
Belmont near the Ralston Avenue
exit on Highway 101.
The incident started when the vic-
tims were traveling in a red Dodge

Until wholesalers get more orders
for fresh Dungeness crab, a eet of
shing boats in the Bay Area are sit-
ting idle as boat captains haggle
with buyers over a price.
The season started on time this
year, however, as wholesalers and
crab sherman agreed to a $3 a
pound price leading up to the busy
Thanksgiving holiday.
But the demand has dropped and
buyers are having trouble selling
fresh crabs, said Larry Collins, pres-
ident of the San Francisco Crab
Boat Owners Association.
They dont want the crab to go
into the freezer and theyve told us
not to sh. The pipeline is choked
up, Collins said about buyers.

Japan launched a surprise attack on the
U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor in
Hawaii as part of its plan to conquer
Southeast Asian territories; the raid,
which claimed some 2,400 American
lives, prompted the United States to
declare war against Japan the next day.
No nation ever had an army large
enough to guarantee it against attack in
time of peace or insure it victory in time of war.

someone wearing a Salvation Army jack-
et take the kettle Monday night while a

Harvard recognizes group
promoting safe kinky sex
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Kinky sex
has been admitted to Harvard.
The nations oldest university has for-
mally recognized Harvard College
Munch, a group promoting discussions
and safe practices of kinky and alterna-
tive sex. The school has no record of a
similar group being recognized in its
376-year history.
The Committee on Student Life recog-
nized Munch on Friday, making it one of
400 independent student organizations
on campus. The decision occurred more
than a year after members began meeting
informally over meals.
Applications for recognition are
decided by a student-faculty committee
following the review of a committee
composed of students and administra-
tors, Harvard spokesman Jeff Neal said
in a statement Tuesday. The college
does not endorse the views or activities
of any independent student organiza-
tion.
Harvard is not the rst school in the
country to formally recognize kinky sex
groups, and several active groups exist
within the larger community in
Cambridge and neighboring Boston.
Organizers of Harvard College Munch
did not immediately respond to an email
seeking comment on Tuesday.
In a statement posted on a Harvard
website, organizers say the group is for
students interested in kink and alterna-
tive sexualities to meet and organize rel-
evant events including speakers, discus-
sions and screenings. Munch also has
created a safety team to enable victims of
abuse or trauma get help.
It exists to promote a positive and
accurate understanding of alternative
sexualities and kink on campus, as well
as to create a space where college-age
adults may reach out to their peers and
feel accepted in their own sexuality, the
statement said.
Though existing campus groups
range from representing women and
men, queer sexualities and orientations,
all the way to groups dedicated to absti-
nence, no other group exists as a forum
for students interested in alternative sex-
ualities to explore their identities and
develop a community with their peers,
organizers said.

A schizophrenic man found not guilty by
reason of insanity in the fatal stabbing of a fel-
low client at a San Carlos vocational center
will be housed at a private mental health facil-
ity rather than the recommended state hospi-
tal, a judge ordered yesterday.
Prosecutors vigorously objected to Vitin
Ajani Cruz being committed anywhere other
than Napa State Hospital, as recommended in
a placement report, but Judge Mark Forcum
instead complied with the defense request for
the private Crestwood Behavioral Health
Center, said Chief Deputy District Attorney
Karen Guidotti.
Crestwood ofcials can transfer Cruz, 38, to
Napa if there are any issues with medication
or bed availability but otherwise the state of
California will pick up the tab for his stay at
Crestwood near Calistoga.
The choice is actually a
win-win, keeping Cruz
with the same treatment
team and environment hes
had the last 16 months and
saving taxpayers poten-
tially millions of dollars,
said defense attorney
Vince OMalley.
Crestwoods day rate is
$241 while Napas cheap-
est per day rate is $617, OMalley said.
When Cruz, who was earlier hospitalized as
incompetent for trial, was transferred from
Napa to Crestwood, the state saved nearly $1
million over seven years, he said.
I was surprised myself to learn that,
OMalley said.
Guidotti said she cant attest to the day rates
but that state hospitals exist for the purpose of
housing patients like Cruz.
Also, this county has a limited number of
beds for which we contract at Crestwood, and
if Mr. Cruz takes up permanent residence
there, which is generally a temporary facility
for defendants, that bed will not be available
for someone else who has shorter term needs,
Guidotti said.
OMalley said Crestwood is also the best t
for Cruz because doctors there were able to
restore his competency when Napa could not.
In 2005, court-appointed doctors found
Cruz unable to aid in his own defense. He
bounced back and forth between the mental
facilities and county until last year when he
was found competent for prosecution in the
Oct. 27, 2004 stabbing of Alfonso Ruiz at
Vocational Rehabilitation Services on Quarry
Road in San Carlos. In October, he pleaded no
contest to second-degree murder and using a
knife after prosecutors agreed he was not
guilty by reason of insanity based on doctors

conclusions.
Competency is a persons ability to aid
in his or her own defense while sanity is
a persons mental state at the time of an
alleged act.
According to prosecutors, Cruz mis-
took Ruiz for another man as they sat
next to each other at the center and sud-
denly lunged at him with a knife. Ruiz
was stabbed several times in the upper
torso and arm. Cruz ed but was arrest-
ed a few blocks away from the site. Ruiz
died the following afternoon.
OMalley said Cruz has a deep fear of
being stabbed because he was left with
severe stomach wounds several years
before the murder during a bus attack in
San Francisco. Cruz thought Ruiz was
somehow associated with his previous
attackers and possibly armed with a box
cutter, according to OMalley.
Schizophrenia medication and other
signs of psychiatric problems were
found at Cruzs home during a police
search after the stabbing.
There is no doubt that someone with
this mental condition would not fare
well in the department of corrections,
OMalley said.
If Cruz had been convicted of murder
and found sane, he faced up to 26 years
in prison.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Californias cam-
paign watchdog said Thursday it is
reviewing whether a former state senator
broke the law when he used campaign
funds to purchase a vehicle formerly
owned by the state.
The Fair Political Practices
Commission has sent a letter to
Republican Bob Dutton, the former
minority leader from Rancho
Cucamonga, questioning why the title for
the 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe is in his name
if it was for campaign use.
Depending on the response, the com-
mission could open a formal investigation
as early as next week, said Gary Winuk,
chief of the commissions Enforcement
Division.
Dutton said he believed he was follow-
ing the law.
Its an ofceholder account and its
been used for ofceholder purposes. Ive
bounced it off a couple attorneys and they
didnt see any problems, said Dutton,
who lost a bid for Congress last month.
The inquiry is based on a report pub-
lished Wednesday by the Associated
Press on at least a dozen lawmakers,
including Dutton, who had their vehicles
repaired at taxpayers expense shortly
before they bought them from independ-
ent dealers who purchased the vehicles
from the state. Duttons vehicle had near-
ly $6,000 worth of repairs, including a
dent repair and a detailed cleaning, in the
weeks before he bought it last year.
State documents obtained by the AP
through public records requests showed
that of 64 lawmakers who had state-
nanced repairs performed as the pro-
gram was ending, 37 purchased their
vehicles. All told, the state spent more
than $78,000 to repair, clean and upgrade
the state-provided vehicles in the nal
nine months of the program.
Dutton was the only lawmaker to use
campaign funds.
The Department of Motor Vehicles
shows the Tahoe titled in his name.
Dutton said he used his name so he could
obtain insurance on a vehicle that he said
was intended to be used for ofcial trav-
el.

Sheriff: Handyman
kidnapped, forced to work
MORGAN HILL A Northern
California man and woman are accused
of luring a handyman to a home, beating
him and holding him against his will for
about six hours while they forced him to
x a dishwasher and other appliances
under threat of his life.
Jason DeJesus, 36, and Chanelle
Troedson, 33, were charged with false
imprisonment and other felony counts
Thursday, three days after they were
arrested in the attack on the 50-year-old
handyman, Santa Clara County authori-
ties said.
Sheriffs Sgt. Jose Cardoza told the
Associated Press the attack followed a
dispute between the handyman and a rel-
ative of DeJesus over payment for work
hed done at the relatives house about
two months ago.
The suspects lured the handyman to
the home in the San Francisco Bay area
city of Morgan Hill on Monday morning
on the promise of receiving the money
he was owed, as well as doing other
work. Instead, the handyman was imme-
diately assaulted, Cardoza said.
He was in fear, just scared within
seconds of walking in the house, the
sheriffs sergeant said.

Applications to fill
Kevin Mullins seat are
being turned in despite
the South San Francisco
City Council not yet offi-
cially deciding how it
will deal with the open-
ing.
Mullin, who was sworn
in to the state Assembly
representing the 22nd
District Monday, resigned
his position on the coun-
cil. Mullin first joined the
council in 2007 and was
re-elected in 2011. His
departure leaves nearly
three years left in his
term. The council decided
to accept applications but
has yet to finalize if it
will appoint and, if so, for
how long. Despite the
lack of clear direction,
applications have been
submitted from: Rhonda
Ceccato, San Mateo
County Board of
Education trustee; Parks
and Recreation
Commissioner Mark
Nagales; and South San
Francisco planning commissioners Pradeep
Gupta and John Prouty, according to the City
Clerks Office.
The council is expected to take on the
topic again Wednesday, Dec. 12.
There are a few options before the council:
Appoint someone to fill the remainder of the
term, through 2015; appoint someone until
the next regular election in 2013; or hold a
special election.
Applications for a possible appointment
have been solicited since mid-November.
Anyone interested must apply by 5 p.m.
Thursday, Dec. 13. Should the council
decide to appoint, it would decided during
next weeks meeting and could then sched-
ule special meetings for interviews and a
possible appointment. Meetings could take
place as early as the week of Dec. 17.
South City isnt often faced with a vacan-
cy on the council. Councilman Rich

LOS ANGELES California has trans-
formed into a major player in stem cell
research, but the taxpayer-funded institute
responsible has signicant deciencies in
how research dollars are distributed, experts
said Thursday.
A report by the Institute of Medicine found
too many members on the board of the
California Institute for Regenerative Medicine
represented schools that won funding and rec-
ommended a restructuring to avoid the appear-
ance of conict of interest.
California voters in 2004 approved
Proposition 71, a state ballot initiative that cre-
ated CIRM, at a time when there were federal
restrictions on human embryonic stem cell
research and such work was opposed by some
on religious and moral grounds because
embryos have to be destroyed to harvest the
cells.
The agency was given broad power to dis-
tribute $3 billion in bond proceeds to promis-
ing research. So far, it has distributed more
than $1 billion to some ve dozen universities
that went mostly toward investments in new
buildings and basic research.
The team of 13 experts that reviewed the
stem-cell agencys operations did not judge the
merits of individual studies because that was
outside the scope of the report and it would
have been too time-consuming and costly.

agency needs overhaul

Three wanted for
Foster City home invasion
A Foster City resident was robbed
at gunpoint inside his home on
Wednesday afternoon, a police
spokesman said.
Ofcers responded to a report of a
home invasion robbery in the 300
block of Tampa Court at around 4:05
p.m., Foster City police Capt. Joe
Pierucci said.
The resident had just arrived home
from work when three suspects
entered through an open garage door,
Pierucci said.
The robbers confronted the man
inside the home and asked him where
he kept his money, Pierucci said. One
was armed with a silver semiauto-
matic handgun.
The suspects then stole more than
$200 in cash, an iPod, various credit
cards and keys, police said.
The victim was forced into a clos-
et, where he remained until he heard
the robbers leave, Pierucci said.
He was not injured, and called
police.
Arriving ofcers searched the
neighborhood but did not nd the
suspects. All three were described as
black men between 18 and 20 years
old.
The suspect carrying the gun was
about 5 feet 8 inches tall with an
average build, a light complexion and
short black hair. He was wearing a
black shirt and black pants.
The two other suspects were
described as about 6 feet tall, with
slender builds and dark complexions.
They were wearing black shirts,
black pants and black beanies.
Anyone with information about the
case or the suspects is asked to call
Foster City police at (650) 286-3300.

Prosecutors say Christensen
approached the woman outside
Chavez Supermarket on Nov. 2, 2011
where she was with her 2-year-old
son and a 3-year-old she was baby-
sitting for a friend. Christensen
reportedly grabbed the womans hair
without warning and tried pulling the
child from a carousel by the foot.
The woman kicked the man, later
identied as Christensen, and police
reported he grabbed the childs pota-
to chips and walked off. Redwood
City police arrested Christensen
nearby after a struggle in which he

Alert neighbor helps
police nab home burglars
Police in Redwood City say an
alert neighbor helped them appre-
hend two suspected residential bur-
glars on Wednesday afternoon.
A resident of the 700 block of
Carlos Avenue called 911 to report
suspicious activity at her neighbors
house at about 12:55 p.m., Redwood
City police Sgt. Sean Hart said.
She witnessed a man knock on the
front door, then walk into the back-
yard when no one answered, police
said. The suspect then entered the
home through a rear door that was
left unlocked.
As ofcers were responding to the
scene, the witness said she saw the
suspect leave in a white pickup truck.
Police spotted the truck and
stopped it about a block away on
Orchard Avenue at Woodside Road.
The driver of the vehicle, 20-year-
old Nomiar Jonasian, of Redwood
City, was identied as the suspect
who had broken into the home, police
said.
A 17-year-old boy who was a pas-
senger in the vehicle had allegedly
acted as a lookout, police said.
Jonasian and the juvenile were
arrested on suspicion of residential
burglary and conspiracy. A subse-
quent investigation revealed that no
property appeared to have been taken
from the home, Hart said.
Something must have scared them
off, he said.
Computer equipment found in the
suspects vehicle is being analyzed to
determine whether it was stolen from
another location, he said.
The case remains under investiga-
tion.

WASHINGTON Americans
are living longer, and Republicans
want to raise the Medicare eligibili-
ty age as part of any deal to reduce
the governments huge decits.
But what sounds like a prudent
sacrice for an aging society that
must watch its budget could have
some surprising consequences,
including higher premiums for peo-
ple on Medicare.
Unlike tax hikes, which spawn
hard partisan divisions, increasing
the Medicare age could help ease a
budget compromise because
President Barack Obama has previ-
ously been willing to consider it. A
worried AARP, the seniors lobby, is
already running ads knocking down
the idea as a quick x that would
cause long-term problems. House
Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi,
D-Calif., doesnt like it either.
But for Republicans seeking more
than just tweaks to benefit pro-
grams, raising the current eligibility
age of 65 has become a top priority,
a symbol of their drive to rein in
government. If Obama and the GOP
cant agree soon on a budget out-
line, it may trigger tax increases and
spending cuts that would threaten a
fragile economic recovery.
Increasing the eligibility age to 67
would reduce Medicare spending by
about 5 percent annually, com-
pounding into hundreds of billions
of dollars over time.

CAIRO An angry Mohammed
Morsi refused Thursday to call off a
referendum on a disputed constitu-
tion that has sparked Egypts worst
political crisis in two years, drawing
chants of topple the regime! from
protesters who waved their shoes in
contempt.
The Egyptian presidents uncom-
promising stand came a night after
thousands of his supporters and
opponents fought pitched battles
outside his Cairo palace, leaving at
least six dead and 700 injured.
Speaking in a nationally televised

vowed he would

That brought shouts of the peo-
ple want to topple the regime! from
the crowd of 30,000 Morsi oppo-

County hit with $25M budget loss
The week of Dec. 7, 2007, it was revealed
the countys structural decit was to be
approximately $25 million by the end of the
2007, according to county nance ofcials
who said it would balloon to $86 million
unless reined in because growth in salaries
and benets outpaced revenue like property
and sales tax.
The Board of Supervisors
held a special study session
Dec. 5, 2007 to g-
ure out ways to
reduce the countys
structural decit.
The general goal, according to
county ofcials, was identifying
why spending is outpacing income and what
can be done to halt the problem before a
budget emergency.
More specically, the county wanted to
eliminate the decit by 2013.
County Manager John Maltbie cautioned
that the county must take rm steps at that
time to keep the structural decit from
exploding and maintaining funds for possible
future projects like a new county jail.
101 bandit strikes again
A man the FBI believed was responsible
for more than 10 bank robberies throughout
the state hit again in Palo Alto the week of
Dec. 7, 2007.
The man was dubbed the 101 bandit
because he hit banks close to Highway 101.
At approximately 1 p.m. Monday of that
week, the man passed a demand note to a
teller at the Mid-Peninsula Bank, located at
420 Cowper St. The teller handed over an
undisclosed amount of money and the man
left in an unknown direction, according to
Palo Alto police.
A man with the same description also
robbed the Belmont Citibank, located at
1888 Ralston Ave. on Nov. 19, 2007 and the
Burlingame Bank of the West, located at 149
Park Road, on Oct. 30, 2007.
The FBI believed the man was responsible
for at least six similar bank robbers across
the state.
Wildlife rescue merges with PHS
A Palo Alto-based wildlife rescue nonprof-
it was to remain open because of a merger
with the Peninsula Humane Society in San
Mateo nalized the week of Dec. 7, 2007.
Members of
Wildlife Rescue
Incorporated
voted to merge with PHS or face closure
after years of nancial troubles. Without
additional money or a partner, the organiza-
tion could not continue treating injured and
orphaned wild animals.
WRI suggested the merger several months
prior, when it became clear that the organiza-
tion was facing closure.
Search for missing boaters called off
The search for two shermen aboard a
shing boat that went missing off the San
Mateo County coast early in the week of
Dec. 7, 2007 was stopped later in the week.
The missing men, both from San Leandro,
were identied as 59-year-old Ben
Hannaberg, the owner of the boat, and 57-
year-old Jim Davis.
The two were last seen aboard the boat
named Good Guys when it departed Pillar
Point Harbor at 9 a.m. of Tuesday of that
week to check crab pots. Parts of a boat,
possibly belong to Hannaberg, were recov-
ered Wednesday morning of that week,
according to the Sheriffs Ofce.

urlingame is getting more pizza.

OPINION 9
Government inflation measure
Editor,
I see in the Associated Press story,
Behind the rhetoric is makings of a
scal deal, in the Dec. 5 edition of the
Daily Journal that there is a GOP pro-
posal to reduce the Social Security
ination adjustment by 0.3 percent.
That would reduce next years whop-
ping 1.7 percent increase to a saner 1.4
percent for us fat cat retirees.
I would suggest that both parties
should attack the real ination adjust-
ment culprit the cost of living
adjustments (COLAs) in government
contracts. Of course that goes under the
heading of fat chance that anything
like that could ever happen.
How bad is ination for retirees?
Three examples:
1). My health care premium has
tripled since 2008 (yes, a 200 percent
increase);
2). Gasoline is now just under $4 a
gallon, doubled since 2008; and
3). Last week, I foolishly splurged on
two pears at $1.99 a pound. That came
to $2.43 for two pears, about $1.20
each. My bad.
Yeah, 1.4 percent should cover it.

Cost of diesel fuel
Editor,
Has anybody noticed the staggering
cost of diesel fuel in the Bay Area, still
running at $4.50 per gallon? In fact it
has not moved down at all, unlike the
gasoline that is now almost a dollar per
gallon cheaper. What gives? Are we
being creamed, quartered and thrown
away?
Frankly, this is absurd, no matter
what the reasons are (in addition to the
good old capitalistic notion of making
money) and it does not help the folks
that are buying diesel-powered cars to
be good to the environment either. Who
has the answers here?

Go figure
Editor,
Interesting. Oracle and some other
companies in the Bay Area sent out
their dividends to their stockholders
early this year so the stockholders
wouldnt have to pay their taxes at the
2013 tax rate, whatever that may end up
being.
I nd it strange that they protect those
people who really do nothing for them
but get their annual dividends by issuing
the payouts early so the government can
be short shrift by a couple of percents.
The very government which maintains
the roads, ports and airports for corpo-
rate commerce; and protects them while
they move about freely in fullling their
endeavors so they can earn their prots.
If we, non-coupon clipping public,
work really hard, hopefully we will be
able to maintain the infrastructure that
commerce desperately relies upon so that
these dividends get delivered on time.
The result of our labor ensures that 2
percenters continue to get their butts
kissed by their stockholders.

Letters to the editor
The Sacramento Bee
F
armers in California, the
nations No. 1 farm state, need
a predictable safety net. And
all of us have an interest in adequate
nutrition, as well as conservation pro-
grams and other land policies that
minimize the effects of floods,
drought and erosion.
Unfortunately, the nations five-year
farm bill expired on Sept. 30 because
House Republican leaders failed to
bring a new bill to the House floor for
a vote.
It is not too late, however.
The Senate passed a bipartisan five-
year farm bill through 2017 on a 64-
35 vote in June. And there is biparti-
san support on the House Agriculture
Committee for a new five-year bill.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack
and the four leaders of the House and
Senate agriculture committees met on
Thursday. All agreed that Congress
should pass a five-year farm bill by
Dec. 31.
Some Republicans, however, have
suggested a yearlong extension of the
old farm bill. But that makes no sense
when Congress and the president are
looking for ways to cut the deficit.
Extending the 2008 law would not
garner savings. Thats a nonstarter.
Passing a bipartisan farm bill that
reduces the deficit by $23 billion
as the Senate bill would do would
help in any deal to avert the looming
fiscal cliff.
Doing nothing is not a realistic
option. While funding for some pro-
grams already has come to an end
such as new enrollment of acreage in
the conservation reserve program
the real problem comes when policies
from the 1930s and 1940s kick in
starting Dec. 31.
As House Agriculture Committee
Chairman Frank Lucas told
Progressive Farmer magazine,
Reverting back to an antiquated sys-
tem that is permanent law is not
responsible and not acceptable.
The first big change is that U.S.
dairy policy reverts to 1949. As the
nations leading dairy state No. 1
in production of fluid milk, butter and
nonfat dry milk, No. 2 in cheese pro-
duction we have a big stake in this.
Expiration of key dairy programs
comes at a time when dairy farms
everywhere, including California, are
reeling from the nations drought,
which has driven up feed prices. In
California, some farmers cant afford
to feed their cows.
Then comes wheat policy and so on.
Above all, farmers need certainty
and stability. The lame duck session
of Congress needs to approve the farm
bill.
Outgoing Rep. Joe Baca, D-San
Bernardino, who serves on the House
Agriculture Committee, should make
the farm bill his swan song before he
leaves office. From a district hit hard
by unemployment, he knows the value
of food stamps in keeping families out
of poverty. Hes been a fighter against
draconian cuts to the food stamp pro-
gram, calling proposed House
Republican cuts of $16 billion unac-
ceptable.
Bacas aim should be to get food
stamp cuts in line with Senate levels
of $4 billion.
And Californians should contact one
of Californias own, House Majority
Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Bakersfield,
and urge him to persuade Speaker
John Boehner to bring the already
passed Senate farm bill (S. 3240) to
the House floor for an up or down
vote.
If the Senate bill passes in the
House, everythings good. If it does-
nt, then Democrats and Republicans
will need to negotiate in earnest to get
a new five-year farm bill done by
years end.
Congress needs to act on new five-year farm bill
Waiting game
for education
I
f there is one thing that is certain when it comes to educa-
tion funding, it is uncertainty. And while local school dis-
tricts breathed a collective sigh of relief when Proposition
30 passed, there is still some level of concern about whats next.
For several years, school districts across
the state have fallen victim to a state
budget that forced uncomfortable cuts and
an abundance of painful creativity. It was
just earlier in the year that Gov. Jerry
Brown was talking about cutting the
school year to ensure the state met its
bottom line. And for years, school dis-
tricts categorized as basic aid have felt
threatened by the concept of a fair-
share cut.
First a bit of background and be
warned, this is not fodder for cocktail
party conversation. Basic aid districts
are funded by local property taxes and receive just a basic
level of aid from the state. The other category, revenue limit,
receive per pupil funding directly from the state. There is a
reason for these two separate funding categories, but the origi-
nal intent has been lost over the years. How a district is cate-
gorized is relatively complicated, but here is a thumbnail
sketch. When the state determines what per-pupil funding will
be, it gures out what the local property taxes would provide.
If the property tax amount is higher, the state says those dis-
tricts can keep that higher amount and are considered basic
aid. If a districts property taxes are below whatever the states
per-pupil funding amount is, the district is considered revenue
limit and the state provides the additional income.
Cuts to the states per-pupil funding levels have pushed more
districts into basic aid in recent years since the lower state
threshold means property values and taxes derived from them
though overall lower because of the recession are still higher
than the cut-induced state funding level.
In addition, the state has withheld $21 billion in funds
statewide which causes the numbers to skew.
San Mateo County has a signicant number of basic aid dis-
tricts such as the San Mateo Union High and Belmont-Redwood
Shores Elementary school districts that have felt the threat and
the impact of the fair-share cut in which the amount, or at least
a portion of it, over the states per-pupil funding allocation would
be given to other districts. First enacted in 2008, it has been con-
tinually threatened, and enacted twice, including this year. In
Belmont-Redwood Shores, for instance, its fair-share cut was
about $1.9 million this year, about how much the district had to
cut this year. If such a move is made again next budget cycle,
district ofcials would likely be forced to make uncomfortable
decisions on programs that have already felt the impact of years
of cuts. And it already has had an impact. In recent years, the
San Mateo County Ofce of Education requires local basic aid
school districts to set aside money in case of the cut, so that
money is not available when districts draw up their budgets.
Though the governor brought up the fair-share cut in budget
discussions earlier this year, there is a mix of opinion on whether
it will be brought up again since Proposition 30 is to funnel an
additional $6 billion a year into state coffers which, just as a
point of clarication, is not additional revenue for schools.
Proposition 30 simply retained funding as it is now. However,
what the content of the governors budget proposal when it
comes to education is anyones guess. No one from the gover-
nors ofce has provided an indication, but Ted Lempert, presi-
dent of Children Now, a nonprot advocacy group, and incom-
ing president of the San Mateo County Board of Education, said
the discussion has hit the reset button. From his perspective, last
years discussion was about creating winners and losers when it
comes to funding. Now that funding is less of a concern, the
challenge becomes creating a new way to provide resources to
districts that need them without taking from other districts.
The concept is hold harmless and how do we make it more
equitable moving forward? he said.
That discussion is ongoing but one of Browns key points to
reform education when he was running for governor in 2010 was
to reduce the categories for special state funding from 62 to less
than 20. The consolidated money from the categorical programs
would then be distributed based on a weighted formula deter-
mined by the specic needs of students in a school district.
Additional funding could be provided to areas such as English
language learners, low-income families and other needs. In
addition, Brown proposed a exible base amount grant to all
districts, with a separate targeted amount to school districts
based on identiable needs. If his campaign philosophy is the
basis for his plans in the next few weeks, the questions then
become, will the base amount be equal to what the state
identies as its per-pupil funding? And does that mean basic
aid districts will still be able to keep the extra amount of prop-
erty taxes they receive locally? Or will that extra amount be
shifted to districts with identiable needs? And how soon
would these changes be implemented?
There will be lots of time and ability to weigh in and San
Mateo County plays a huge role in this debate, Lempert said.
There is opportunity to change and thats a good thing. [It
must be done] in a way that no one gets hurt.
But as has been the case with education funding and policy
for years, its now a waiting game for the announcement,
comprehension and possible action.

NEW YORK Apple and other tech-
nology companies led the stock market
up for the second day in a row Thursday.
The gains came a day after Apple took
its worst fall in four years. In separate
interviews, CEO Tim Cook said Apple
will produce one of its Mac computers
in the United States next year and will
spend $100 million in 2013 to shift pro-
duction of the line from China.
The tech giants stock gained $8.45 to
$547.24
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 39.55 points to close at 13,074.04.
Intel led the Dow, rising 31 cents to
$20.16.
Investors biggest concern remains the
automatic tax increases and federal
spending cuts scheduled to start Jan. 1.
Everybody is paying close attention to
the soap opera in Washington, said
John Canally, investment strategist and
economist at LPL Financial.
President Barack Obama said
Wednesday that the White House and
Republicans could reach an agreement
in about a week if the Republicans
drop their opposition to raising taxes on
making more than $250,000 a year.
Most investors believe President
Obama and Congressional Republicans
will strike a budget deal to avoid this
scal cliff before the year is out. Until
they reach an agreement, however, the
stock market will likely be hostage to
news out of Washington.
In other trading, the Standard &
Poors 500 index rose 4.66 points to
1,413.94, while the Nasdaq composite
climbed 15.57 points to 2,989.27. In the
market for U.S. government bonds, the
yield on the 10-year Treasury note
ended the day at 1.59 percent, the same
as late Wednesday.
The U.S. Labor Department said
unemployment benefits applications
dropped 25,000 last week to 370,000, a
level consistent with modest hiring. The
decline was also a sign that the spike in
applications caused by Superstorm
Sandy has faded.
The government will release its close-
ly watched monthly jobs report Friday.
Private economists forecast that hiring
in November sank from the previous
month. They expect the unemployment
rate to remain unchanged at 7.9 percent.
More companies announced plans to
reward investors with dividends this
month in case taxes rise next year.

Big movers
By David McHugh
FRANKFURT, Germany The
European Central Bank warned of
another gloomy year for the 17
European Union countries that use the
euro, cutting its forecast for economic
growth in 2013 from plus 0.5 percent to
minus 0.3 percent.
Even so, the bank left rates unchanged
at its meeting Thursday, and ECB head
Mario Draghi gave little sign he was
leaning toward any more cuts to stimu-
late growth.
The banks 22-member governing
council kept its benchmark renancing
rate unchanged at 0.75 percent. The rate
determines what private-sector banks are
charged for borrowing from the ECB,
and, through that, the rates banks set for
businesses and consumers.
Draghi saw downside risk to the eco-
nomic outlook and said that weak
activity is expected to extend into next
year, with a gradual recovery later in
2013. The banks minus 0.3 percent out-
look is the midpoint of the forecast rate
of between minus 0.9 percent and plus
0.3 percent.
The ECBs revised forecasts come as
the eurozones economy is caught in a
recession having shrunk 0.1 percent
in the third quarter after a 0.2 percent fall
in the previous three months. It is
expected to contract again in the last
three months of the year. A recession is
often dened as two quarters of negative
growth in a row.
Growth is being held back across the
eurozone as governments slash spending
and raise taxes. Countries are trying to
reduce debt piled up from overspending,
in the case of Greece, or from real estate
bubbles and banking crises in Spain and
Ireland. Greece, Portugal, Ireland and
tiny Cyprus have already needed
bailouts, while Italy and Spain, the euro-
zones third- and fourth-largest
economies, teetered on the edge of need-
ing help this summer.
Analysts saw the slashed forecasts as
conrmation of more tough times to
come for the eurozone.
This is something that we have been
agging for some time, namely that the
eurozone may be headed for a lost
decade, said Marie Diron, a senior eco-
nomic adviser at Ernst & Young.
European share indexes held onto
gains after the speech, with the London
FTSE up 0.3 percent, Germanys DAX
up 1.11 percent and the French CAC 40
up 0.4 percent. The euro dipped 0.8 per-
cent to $1.2967 as some investors
thought the dismal outlook raised the
chance of a rate cut. Lower rates can
make a currency less attractive by lower-
ing returns on interest-bearing invest-
ments.
In theory, a rate cut by the ECB could
stimulate the eurozones economy by
making it easier to borrow, spend and
invest. But rates are already low, and
borrowing remains weak. There are very
few signs that previous rate cuts and
stimulus measures such as the (euro)
1 trillion ($1.3 trillion) in cheap, long-
term loans to banks last December and
February are trickling through to the
wider economy.
Draghi said current rates were very
accomodative meaning they are low
enough to encourage growth.
He also said that that the ECB had
already done much to lower rates with
its plan announced in September to
buy unlimited amounts of bonds issued
by of Europes heavily indebted coun-
tries.
ECB cuts growth outlook for eurozone

NEW YORK Apple CEO Tim
Cook says the company will move pro-
duction of one of its existing lines of
Mac computers to the United States next
year.
Industry watchers said the announce-
ment is both a cunning public-relations
move and a harbinger of more manufac-
turing jobs moving back to the U.S. as
wages rise in China.
Cook made the comments in part of an
interview taped for NBCs Rock
Center, but aired Thursday morning on
Today and posted on the networks
website.
In a separate interview with
Bloomberg Businessweek, he said that
the company will spend $100 million in
2013 to move production of the line to
the U.S. from China.
This doesnt mean that Apple will do
it ourselves, but well be working with
people and well be investing our
money, Cook told Bloomberg.
That suggests the company could be
helping one of its Taiwanese manufac-
turing partners, which run factories in
China, to set up production lines in the
U.S. devoted to Apple products.
Research rm IHS iSuppli noted that
both Foxconn Technology Group, which
assembles iPhones, and Quanta
Computer Inc., which does the same for
MacBooks, already have small opera-
tions in the U.S.
Apple representatives had no com-
ment Thursday beyond Cooks remarks.
Like most consumer electronics com-
panies, Apple forges agreements with
contract manufacturers to assemble its
products overseas. However, the assem-
bly accounts for a fraction of the cost of
making a PC or smartphone. Most of the
cost lies in buying chips, and many of
those are made in the U.S., Cook noted
in his interview with NBC.
The company and Foxconn have faced
signicant criticism this year over work-
ing conditions at the Chinese facilities
where Apple products are assembled.
The attention prompted Foxconn to raise
salaries.
Cook didnt say which line of comput-
ers would be produced in the U.S. or
where in the country they would be
made. But he told Bloomberg that the
production would include more than just
nal assembly.
That suggests that machining of cases
and printing of circuit boards could take
place in the U.S.
The simplest Macs to assemble are the
Mac Pro and Mac Mini desktop comput-
ers. Since they lack the built-in screens
of the MacBooks and iMacs, they would
likely be easier to separate from the
Asian display supply chain.
Apple to produce line of Macs in the U.S. next year
McAfee denied asylum; expected in Belize
GUATEMALA CITY Software company founder
John McAfee was hospitalized Thursday after being
denied political asylum in Guatemala and his lawyers said
they were making a last-ditch effort to keep him from
being own back to Belize for questioning about the
killing of a fellow American expatriate.
McAfee told the Associated Press that he had suffered
chest pains overnight but didnt believe he had suffered a
heart attack. A government doctor who examined him
agreed, saying McAfees heart rhythm and blood pressure
were normal, and he appeared to be suffering from high
stress. McAfee was moved from an immigration center to
a police-run hospital Thursday afternoon after Guatemalan
authorities said McAfees request for asylum had been
denied.
Zynga moves to enter U.S. gambling market
NEW YORK Online games company Zynga said it has
asked Nevada gambling regulators for a decision that could
pave the way for it to enter the U.S. gambling market.
This follows Zyngas October disclosure that it has
signed a deal to offer online poker and casino games,
played with real money, in the U.K. It plans to launch those
games in the rst half of 2013.
Zynga Inc. said in an email late Wednesday that it is seek-
ing an application for a preliminary nding of suitability
from the Nevada Gaming Control Board. This, the compa-
ny says, is part of its plan to enter regulated real-money
gaming, that is, gambling markets.
U.S. unemployment aid applications drop to 370K
WASHINGTON The number of people seeking U.S.
unemployment aid fell sharply last week as a temporary
spike caused by Superstorm Sandy has faded. Weekly
applications have fallen back to a level consistent with
modest hiring.
The Labor Department said Thursday that applications
dropped 25,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted
370,000.

OAKLAND After enduring one of the
toughest weeks of his life and career, Raiders
coach Dennis Allens return to the Oakland
Coliseum ended with another painful memory.
Just the way most games have this season.
Carson Palmer threw an interception that
thwarted a scoring chance and fumbled near
his own goal line to send the Raiders to a sixth
straight loss, 26-13 against the Denver
Broncos on Thursday night.
The Raiders (3-10) played the game with
heavy hearts after Allens
father, Grady, died earlier
in the week from cardiac
arrest. Allen was in the
Dallas area for two days
but came back to the Bay
Area on Wednesday to
coach the game.
About the only bright
spot for the first-year
Raiders coach is that the
teams longest skid since losing six in a row in
2007 is hardly the worst thing to happen to
him this week.
I took my father off life support, and thats
not easy to do, Allen said, his voice cracking.
So was it hard? Yeah, it was hard. But I know
my father would want me to be here with this
football team, and I wanted to be here with this
football team. So Im sure you guys can imag-
ine it wasnt an easy situation.
Allen said he was overwhelmed by support
from players, assistants and those throughout
the NFL. His players had talked during the
short week about rallying around their coach,
too.
Instead, they came out at against a erce
AFC West rival, were swept in the season
series by the Broncos for the rst time since
2006 and added to the mounting pressure on
Allens job.
Peyton Manning threw for 310 yards and
had his 30th touchdown pass of the season on
the games opening drive to help Denver roll to
its eighth straight victory. Knowshon Moreno
ran for 119 yards and a score on a career-high
32 carries, and Matt Prater kicked four eld
goals.
Tough week ends in Raiders loss to Broncos

The Aragon boys basketball team has the
potential to be one of the best outside-inside
teams in the Peninsula Athletic League this
season. With two supreme ball handlers in
Alex Manu and Trevor Lahoz, coupled with
the inside presence of David Manoa and Sam
Halaua, opposing teams could struggle to
match up with the Dons.
The good news for Aragon is, if either of
those facets of the game are off, the other can
carry the team. Such was the case Thursday
night as the Dons faced Menlo-Atherton in the
semifinals of the Burlingame Lions Club
Tournament. The Dons struggled from the
perimeter most of the game, but the play in the
post kept in the lead for the entire game. When
their outside shots starting falling? It was
lights out for the Bears.
Aragon led by just four points, 34-30, going
into the fourth quarter, but back-to-back 3-
pointers from Nick Frankel propelled the
Dons to a 21-point quarter and a 55-36 win.
Frankel nished with 17 for the game.
The Dons will face host Burlingame in the
championship game at 8 p.m. Friday.
Burlingame survived Valley Christian-San
Jose, 78-70.
Ugly (win) for us, said Aragon coach Sam
Manu. We didnt hit a 3 for three quarters and
two minutes. Ive never seen us that cold.
Luckily, [Halaua] and [Manoa] kept us in
it. They controlled the boards.
Manoa has only two weeks of basketball
under his belt this season after starring for the
Aragon football team. If this was Manoa at 50
percent capacity, woe to the rest of the PAL
when he is at full basketball strength. Manoa
scored a game-high 22 points and pulled down
11 rebounds in leading the Dons to the win.
While he will never wow fans with fancy
Dons advance to finals
Will face defending
champ Burlingame

SANTA CLARA Aldon Smith hardly has
a free moment to stop at his locker, much less
give thought to any intriguing matchups or
scenarios as he chases Michael Strahans sin-
gle-season NFL sacks record.
Yet, come Sunday at Candlestick Park, it
wont be the injured Jake Long lining up at left
tackle for the Miami Dolphins against the
49ers defensive menace but rather rookie
replacement Jonathan Martin. He is a former
Stanford player plenty
familiar to 49ers coach Jim
Harbaugh, defensive coor-
dinator Vic Fangio and the
rest of the staff and the
young offensive lineman
suddenly faces the daunt-
ing challenge of slowing
down the NFLs sacks
leader.
Ive just got to take
advantage of the opportunity, Smith said.
Smith has 17 1/2 sacks, already tying Fred
Deans franchise-best total set in 1983. Next
up: getting the 5 1/2 sacks he needs over the
nal four games to break Strahans mark of 22
1/2 sacks set in 2001 with the New York
Giants.
What does he have, 17 1/2 sacks?
Dolphins coach Joe Philbin said. In 12
games, thats quite a pace hes on. Hes kind of
got a knack for getting to the quarterback and
snifng things out. Hes a good rusher when
the quarterbacks drop back, he does a good job
containing when the quarterbacks try to boot-
leg his way, he does a good job hustling and
chasing down quarterbacks when theyre
maybe extending a play.
The 6-foot-4, 258-pound Smith has long
arms, a quick burst of speed off the snap and a
relentless approach to pass rushing that Philbin
described as some kind of natural wiggle in
him as a pass rusher.
Hes chasing history, and hes going to
keep doing what he does to make the plays and
help the team win, said defensive mate Justin
Smith, who has at least a half sack in each of

MADISON, Wis. When Wisconsin line-
backer Mike Taylor was a kid, he used to watch
the Badgers and dream of playing for Barry
Alvarez.
Hes nally getting his wish.
The Badgers are going retro for the Rose
Bowl, talking Alvarez their former football
coach-turned athletic director into returning to
the sidelines on New Years Day against Stanford
after Bret Bielema bolted for Arkansas this week.
Its the best thing that could happen, Taylor
said Thursday after Alvarezs return was
announced. Hes familiar with what we do and
he built this program. Thats why kids like me
come here.
But this is a one-night-only gig, Alvarez insist-
ed. Hes already looking for a replacement for
Bret Bielema, and plans to begin interviewing
candidates next week.
No one likes change, but you can grow
through change and theres opportunity through
change, Alvarez said. I want the seniors to go
out the right way, and I want the young players to
understand that I will put a coach in place that
theyll be pleased with.
It wont, however, be Paul Chryst.
The rst-year Pitt coach was considered the
favorite to replace Bielema, a former Badgers
offensive coordinator who is from the area, has
many ties here and remains a popular gure at
Wisconsin. Alvarez pulled some strings to help
get Chryst the Panthers job last year, and said it
wouldnt be appropriate for him to hire Chryst
back such a short time later.
Chryst says he is committed to the Panthers,
who are preparing for the BBVA Compass Bowl
on Jan. 5.
I think he should be committed to Pitt,
Alvarez said. I wouldnt think it would be right
for him to leave after one year. I wouldnt feel
right, and I dont think it would be appropriate
for me to hire him back after I asked someone to
do me a favor and help him get that job. So Pauls
going to stay at Pitt.

SEATTLE Dana White has come
around on having women ghting in the UFC.
Ronda Rousey is the reason.
Rousey, who won a bronze medal in judo at
the 2008 Olympics and is a rising mixed-mar-
tial arts star, will face Liz Carmouche in the
rst womens ght in UFC history in the main
event at UFC 157 on Feb. 23 in Anaheim,
Calif.
White, the UFC president, announced the
ght Thursday at the conclusion of the pre-
view for UFCs ght card on Saturday night in
Seattle, headlined by Benson Henderson
defending his lightweight championship
against Nate Diaz.
Ive seen a lot of tough girls, but I havent
seen a girl with the whole package until this
one, White said.
Rousey signed with the UFC in November
after winning the bantamweight champi-
onship with Strikeforce. As part of Thursdays
announcement, White presented her with a
title belt as the UFC womens 135-pound
class champion.
The fight against Carmouche will be
Rouseys rst with UFC. Many MMA fans
hoped the initial womens bout would feature
Rousey against Christine Cyborg Santos,
who was the top female ghter in MMA
before a failed drug test.
White said that ght will be coming in the
future, but it was Carmouche who stepped up
and said she wanted the main event against
Rousey.
Its going to happen
eventually, Rousey said
of the Santos ght. I cant
make these girls ght me
when I want them to ght
me and I have a lot of
respect for Liz. She was
the only one that really
stepped up and said she
wanted this fight right
now. It speaks a lot to her. When the other
girls want to come around and come into the
big show they know where Im at.
Rousey has quickly become the female face
of MMA and she has won over White, who
was once caught on video saying women
would never ght in UFC.
Rousey has won all six of her professional
ghts and all by submission. She won the ban-
tamweight title with Strikeforce in March
2011, then defended the title with a victory
over Sarah Kaufman last August. Rousey has
also gained a following outside the octagon
with a charismatic personality and television
and magazine appearances.
But as White noted, Rousey just wants to
ght.
She speaks well, the media loves her. Its
hard not to like her, White said. But some
people dont like her, dont like the way she
talks. But regardless of what you think about
her personality, shes a mean, nasty ghter
and thats what I look for and thats what I
care about.

LAS VEGAS While Floyd Mayweather Jr. sat in a jail
cell, rapper 50 Cent set about signing ghters and putting
together the promotional company he and Mayweather had
long talked about.
It seemed like a perfect match for two buddies who liked
nothing better than to have HBO cameras lm them playing
with stacks of $100 bills in the 24/7
series. But it fell apart when Mayweather
got out of prison and decided that he
would rather play with his money than
invest it in a boxing company.
The requisite Twitter ght ensued, with
all the nastiness that comes with any
breakup. But that doesnt mean 50 Cent
isnt interested in making a real splash in
boxing by promoting his former BFF in a
ght against, say, Manny Pacquiao.
I could see myself with the money, the
rapper said in an interview with The Associated Press. And if
youve got the money you can make the ght.
That ght could involve more money than any ght ever,
with 50 Cent particularly interested in a reported $180 million
offer that promoter Bob Arum has from Dubai. But
Mayweather has been reluctant to even discuss the possibility
of a Pacquiao ght, and 50 Cent thinks he knows why.
One loss, he said, and Mayweather would probably never
ght again.
Its all condence when it comes to Floyd and his con-
dence wouldnt be there, 50 Cent said. He kind of hand picks
who he ghts instead of taking the tough ghts.
Boxing does make strange bedfellows, though theres noth-
ing strange about 50 Cents foray into the sport. He boxed as
an amateur while growing up, and his friendship with
Mayweather rekindled a love for the sport.
With Mayweather out, he used his own money to sign sev-
eral ghters, the most notable being former Cuban Olympic
gold medalist Yuriorkis Gamboa. He wants boxing to reclaim
the young demographic that it has lost to the UFC, and has
plans to mix entertainment with any ghts that he promotes.
The rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, was
approved last month for a promoters license in Nevada and is
working with Arums Top Rank on Saturdays ght card that is
topped by the fourth ght between Manny Pacquiao and Juan
Manuel Marquez.
Were allies, were working together, Arum said. Hes
really a nice guy. Or at least he seems to be.
But 50 Cent has a learning curve ahead of him, as evidenced
by a press conference he was part of Thursday to introduce the
undercard that includes Gamboa. When 50 Cent nished a
short speech he went to sit down, forgetting to introduce his
ghter.
I (messed) up, he said, laughing.
50 Cent reportedly spent more than $1 million getting the
rights to promote Gamboa, a big puncher who he believes will
become a big star. The rap mogul likely didnt have to go far
for the money, because he made fortunes in both music and in
a stake he had in Vitaminwater when it was bought in a 2007
deal by the Coca-Cola company for a reported $4.1 billion.
50 Cent said he wanted to go in the ght business with
Mayweather who made a reported $80 million in his last
two ghts not only to make money but to make sure his
friend had a continuing source of income after hes done box-
ing.
Mayweather is famous for a large entourage, sports bets that
start at six gures, and throwing money around like he and 50
Cent did in the 24/7 shows.
Hes in the cycle that a lot of big ghters go through, 50
Cent said. Get the money, spend the money and then ght
again for some more money.
50 Cent would like to see his estranged friend do better.
I still love him, he said. Hes like a brother to me.

Moneybags, Ned Colletti gets mentioned when almost any
free agent is discussed this offseason.
Theres a perception that were in on a couple dozen start-
ing pitchers, three dozen outelders and inelders, 17, 18
catchers, the Los Angeles Dodgers general manager said.
People like to have us in. I guess it doesnt hurt to have
us in, even though were not in. We may have to hire some-
body next year just to tell everybody who were not in on,
he said.
As teams headed home from the winter meetings
Thursday, the biggest free agents were still on the market.
The availability of slugger Josh Hamilton and pitcher Zack
Greinke held up decisions on other signings and possible
trades involving on Rangers star Michael Young and the
Mets Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey.
The Yankees, quiet thus far, were pursuing former Boston
star Kevin Youkilis and also met with the agent for Mark
Reynolds.
With most clubs already packed up and leaving the sprawl-
ing, 2,881-room Opryland hotel, Philadelphia acquired out-
elder Ben Revere from Minnesota for right-handers Vance
Worley and Trevor May.
Hamilton could remain with Texas, and Seattle seemed to
be interested. Greinkes options include staying with the Los
Angeles Angels, moving up the coast to the Dodgers or sign-
ing with the Rangers.
Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik said that after
taking in information from other clubs and agents, it was
time to return home and cool your jets.

SNOW REPORT
BERKELEY At the urging of
athletic director Sandy Barbour, Sonny
Dykes pulled out a white California
cap from underneath the lectern and
popped it on his head to accent his
blue-and-gold tie and dark suit, draw-
ing cheers from department staff who
lled the Memorial Stadium room.
On his rst day as Cals coach,
Dykes denitely looked the part. The
Golden Bears just hope he can garner
the same reaction on game days.
Cal formally introduced Dykes as its
football coach Thursday, replacing the
red Jeff Tedford after three years at
Louisiana Tech. Dykes takes over a
proud program with a refurbished sta-
dium and training facilities, but also
one that has failed to make a bowl in
two of the past three seasons and has
the lowest graduation rate (48 percent)
in the Pac-12 Conference.
We will turn it around, Dykes said.
Its going to be a long, arduous
process. How many years is it going to
take? I dont know. Is it going to be
next year? I dont know. Whats the
future hold? I cant answer that ques-
tion. But I do know thats whats going
to drive us every day. Every single day
we get in our car and come to work,
our goal is going to be to get to the
Rose Bowl.
Barbour said she interviewed
between six and 12 candidates. She
said the school and Dykes have agreed
to a term sheet, but she will not
release the contract details until its
ofcially signed by all parties, which
Barbour expects to happen in the com-
ing days.
Sonny Dykes is

his last three games. If along the way he gets the record, so
be it. Were all pulling for him, hope he gets it, and were
pretty condent he will.
Last week, Smiths sack of Sam Bradford late in the rst
half at St. Louis gave him an NFL-best 31 1/2 in his rst two
seasons, a half-sack better than Reggie Whites previous
record in 1985-86. While Smith has publicly said he wants
to be Defensive Player of the Year and top in sacks, he is
more concerned with doing his part to put San Francisco in
the best position heading to the playoffs next month.
Well talk about it when it matters, Smith said.
Smith recorded 5 1/2 of his sacks for San Francisco (8-3-
1) against Bears backup Jason Campbell on Monday Night
Football on Nov. 19, earning him NFC Defensive Player of
the Week.
Every week, Smith shows the rest of the NFL just what a
menacing presence he is by making plays every which way.
The 49ers selected Smith seventh overall in the rst round
of the 2011 draft out of Missouri and he became an
instant impact player like many of the others chosen by gen-
eral manager Trent Baalke the past two drafts.
Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill hopes his encoun-
ters with Smith will be few. They faced off during college
when Tannehill played at Texas A&M.
I didnt realize, I guess, the player he is and he turned out
to be at the time, Tannehill said. I knew they had a good
defensive end. In college, you study more defenses in gen-
eral instead of focusing on players and names. You dont put
in so much time into that, but I denitely know who he is
and well be looking out for him.
Smiths matchup against Martin is far more favorable than
if he were facing Long, who was placed on season-ending
injured reserve Tuesday with an injured left triceps.
Not that Smith thinks making sacks will be any easier.
I think if you get wrapped up in something thats on the
periphery that sometimes you dont have control over,
sometimes it could be a distraction, Fangio said. I think
hes handled it pretty good so far. Every week in the NFL is
a tough assignment no matter who youre going against.
49ERS
The Broncos (10-3) moved a half-game ahead of New
England and Baltimore for the second-best record in the AFC.
Denver visits Baltimore next week in a game that will help
decide who gets a rst-round playoff bye.
I felt like we got decent pressure on him at some times,
Raiders linebacker Philip Wheeler said. I feel like we just got
to get off the eld on third downs, man. We cant have those
long drives.
The game was mildly competitive for only a brief time as
Oakland scored late in the rst half on a touchdown pass from
Palmer to Darren McFadden and then started with the ball in the
third quarter down 13-7.
McFadden, returning from a four-game absence for a
sprained right ankle, left late in the fourth quarter with another
setback to the injury. That put the damper on a solid comeback
performance, breaking off a 36-yard run on the rst play from
scrimmage, but the drive stalled in Denver territory after that
and the Broncos took the game over.
Extremely frustrating, Palmer said. To rack up this many
losses in a row in the fashion that weve done is just extremely
frustrating.
Manning, who joined Brett Favre as the only quarterbacks in
NFL history with 5,000 career completions, converted a third-
and-11 with a perfectly placed 22-yard pass to Demaryius
Thomas. Manning followed that with a 29-yard completion to
Eric Decker, but the drive stalled after a pass-interference call
on Matt Giordano gave the Broncos a rst down at the 1.
Praters 20-yard eld goal made it 16-7.
Mike Goodson then made the ill-advised decision to return a
kick from 8 yards deep in the end zone, forcing Oakland to start
a drive at the 8. Von Miller then beat Khalif Barnes for a sack
on third down, stripping the ball from Palmer. Mitch Unrein
recovered at the 2 and Moreno scored two plays later to make
it 23-7.
The guy got a good pass rush. And being in that situation
backed up like that, Ive got to throw the ball out of bounds,
Palmer said. I didnt have the guy I wanted to throw the ball to
open, tried to pull the ball back and throw it to another guy.
Obviously, looking back now, I wish I wouldve just chucked
the ball out of bounds.
Prater added another eld goal later in the third quarter and
Manning went on to his record 12th season with 10 wins as a
starting quarterback.
The only remaining drama was whether quarterback project
Terrelle Pryor would get his rst action of the season for
Oakland. He didnt, giving the frustrated Raiders fans yet
another reason to be upset even though Palmer added a 56-yard
TD pass to Darrius Heyward-Bey and nished with 273 yards
passing.
The Raiders won the coin toss but decided to defer until the
second half. The decision backred as Manning converted three
third downs on a 68-yard drive that was capped by a 6-yard pass
to Joel Dreessen that was Mannings 30th touchdown pass of
the season.

NEW YORK Instead of closing in on a
deal, the NHL and the players association are
further apart than ever before.
Union executive director Donald Fehr
began the rst of his two news conferences
Thursday night by proclaiming he believed
the sides had agreements on such issues as
actual dollars, and then returned moments
later to reveal the NHL rejected everything his
side offered.
Hot-button topics such as the make-whole
provision on existing contracts not only
werent settled, but are no longer being
offered by the league. Forget that owners were
willing to pay up to $300 million to cover the
costs, now Commissioner Gary Bettman is
saying the entire concept is off the table
along with everything else the league pro-
posed during the previous two days of talks.
They knew there was a major gulf between
us and yet they came down here and told you
we were close, deputy commissioner Bill
Daly said.
Fehr vehemently disputed that assessment
and stuck to his opinion that the sides really
arent far apart, saying they are clearly very
close if not on top of one another.
When the NHL agreed to increase its make-
whole offer of deferred payments from $211
million to $300 million it was part of a pro-
posed package that required the union to agree
on three nonnegotiable points. Instead, the
players association accepted the raise in
funds, but then made counterproposals on the
issues the league stated had no wiggle room.
That ended Thursdays delayed meeting
after just an hour and sent the NHL negotiat-
ing team back to the league ofce.
I am disappointed beyond belief, Bettman
said. Were going to take a deep breath and
look back at where we are and what needs to
be accomplished.
The sides wont meet again before Saturday
at the earliest. While Bettman insisted that a
drop-dead date for a deal that would preserve
a season with integrity hasnt been estab-
lished even internally clearly there isnt
a lot of time to work out an agreement.
Im surprised, Pittsburgh Penguins star
Sidney Crosby said. We feel like we moved
in their direction.
Still no end to NHL lockout
moves, he does all the little things that win-
ning teams need: he rebounds, hes not afraid
to bang around in the paint and he can nish
around the basket. Most of his points
Thursday night came from within two feet of
the basket on putbacks and follows.
He was the man for us today, Manu said.
At the end, our shooters came through.
Aragon (5-1) had M-A on the ropes several
times during the game, but could not put the
Bears away. Aragon opened the game with a
10-2 run before M-A ended the rst quarter
with a 7-2 run to trail 14-9 after the opening
eight minutes.
The Bears closed to 16-14 midway through
the second quarter before the Dons went on an
8-0 run to open a 10-point lead, 24-14 and led
by eight, 26-18, at halftime.
Aragon pushed its lead back to 10 when
Manoa scored the rst bucket of the third
quarter, but then the Bears made their run.
They scored 10 unanswered points to tie the
game at 28, but they could never quite get
over the hump. A Frankel follow put the Dons
back on top, 30-28, but the Bears tied it at 30.
A pair of free throws by Frankel and a jumper
from Manoa gave Aragon a four-point cush-
ion going into the fourth quarter.
And then the Dons ran away from M-A.
The Bears went nearly four minutes without a
point, while the Dons enjoyed a 12-0 run,
turning a 34-30 lead into a 46-30 advantage
and they cruised home with the win.
Good teams win ugly games and I hope
were a good team, Manu said.
Burlingame 78, Valley Christian 70
The Panthers advanced to their fourth
straight Lions Club Tournament nal by hold-
ing off the Warriors in the other seminal
game Thursday night.
The rst quarter set the tone as the teams
combined to score 41 points and commit 18
fouls in the opening eight minutes as
Burlingame led 23-18 after one quarter.
The rest of the game was a series of runs
made by both teams. Valley Christian opened
the second quarter by outscoring Burlingame
8-3 to tie the game at 26, but the Panthers
responded with a 15-0 run of their own to take
what appeared to be a nearly insurmountable
lead.
But the Warriors closed the half on a 10-0
run and trailed by just ve at the break, 41-36.
An 8-0 run in the middle of the third quar-
ter by Valley Christian gave the Warriors a 50-
48 lead, but the Panthers ended the third on a
8-4 run to lead 56-54 heading into the nal
eight minutes.
In the fourth, it appeared the Warriors had
finally worn down the Panthers as they
outscored them 14-7 to take a 68-63 lead, but
Burlingame responded with a urry of points.
The Panthers ended the game on a 15-2 run.
Connor Haupt led all scorers with 22 points
and pulled down nine rebounds. Mikel Floro-
Cruz nished with 19 and Nick Loew added
17 points and nine rebounds.

L
ike the weather on the Peninsula,
limited craft beers hit fast and then
are suddenly gone. You can regularly
nd seasonals at your local grocery store,
however, there are varieties that need to be
actively sought out if one doesnt want to
miss them.
Here are a few upcoming beers on my
dont miss list.
Utopias is out now. Granted, it may
already be too late because only 10,000 bot-
tles of this Samuel Adams gem were released
this year. Having only been brewed ve
times historically, this high-alcohol, natural-
ly-fermented beer weighs in at 29 percent
ABV. Sam Adams says: Rivaling the
worlds best ports and cognacs, this extreme
beer is uncarbonated and ruby black in color
with sweet avors of honey, toffee, caramel,
cocoa and vanilla balanced by distinct notes
of molasses, raisins, plums and berries
imparted from aging batches in a variety of
barrels over the years.
Adams is calling this its 10th anniversary
release and it is not for the weak of heart, or
the poor. Each bottle is $199 and hard to
come by. Local BevMos only received three
bottles, at best, and my favorite local beer
shops didnt get any. Go now.
Stones Vertical Epic series comes to an
end this year with its 12.12.12 release.
Really this is an end of an era: Since the
clever play on numbers began with its rst
release on Feb. 2, 2002, variations have been
released on corresponding dates, March, 3,
2003; April 4, 2004, etc. Ending with the
11th release 12.12.12 as the last.
Stones description says the beer itself is
very reminiscent of a European amber beer,
with Perle and Pacic Jade hops, Munich and
other roasted German and Belgian malts,
hopped and brewed to a very Stone-like 65
IBU and 9.4 percent ABV. Cinnamon is a
wonderful spice if used judiciously, which
we did here it doesnt by any means dom-
inate the beers avor, but denitely adds a
subtly complex spice note that blends amaz-
ingly well with the banana esters and green
chili.

est technology 3-D, high-
speed projection and Dolbys
Atmos surround sound sys-
tem. The result is some eye
candy that truly dazzles and
some that utterly distracts, at
least in its test-run of 48
frames a second, double the
projection rate that has been
standard since silent-film
days.
Its also overstuffed with,
well, stuff. Prologues and
sidestepping backstory. Long,
boring councils among
dwarves, wizards and elves. A
shallow blood feud extrapo-
lated from sketchy appendices
to J.R.R. Tolkiens The Lord
of the Rings to give the lm
a bad guy.
Remember the interminable
false endings of The Return
of the King, the Academy
Award-winning finale of
Jacksons Lord of the
Rings? An Unexpected
Journey has a similar bloat
throughout its nearly three
hours, in which Tolkiens
brisk story of intrepid little
hobbit Bilbo Baggins is drawn
out and diluted by dispensable
Unexpected disapointment
Peter Jacksons Hobbit suffers from story bloat

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
A CHRISTMAS CAROL DELIGHTS
AT AMERICAN CONSERVATORY THE-
ATRE. American Conservatory Theaters
richly textured, multi-generational production
of Charles Dickenss A Christmas Carol never
forgets the darkness at the heart of this peren-
nially popular seasonal fable of a lost soul
forced to reassess his life. Scrooges story is a
cautionary tale, punctuated with visions of
lost love and bitter regret. But Scrooges long
Christmas Eve ultimately transforms and
redeems him, so his despair is balanced with
hope and, nally, replaced with joy. There
may be spooky ghosts aplenty (including a
gigantic, looming Ghost of Christmas Future
puppet that takes over the entire stage), but
there is also song and dance, a gorgeous
parade of period costumes (ballooning hoop
skirts and dashing top hats), and even an
ensemble of frolicking Spanish onions,
twirling Turkish gs and pirouetting French
plums. Since its publication in 1843, A
Christmas Carol has never been out of print,
and has been adapted to lm, stage and opera.
There is no other secular parable so closely
associated with the holiday seasons generosi-
ty of spirit and part of the fun of attending a
production is seeing the very youngest mem-
bers of the audience watch the story unfold for
the very rst time and fall under its spell.
Written by Charles Dickens. Adapted by
Carey Perloff and Paul Walsh. Directed by
Domenique Lozano. Two hours with a 20-
minute intermission. Through Dec. 24.

A DARKER SIDE OF SCROOGE AT
BOXCAR THEATRE. On a cold Christmas
Eve, a solitary man journeys into the darkness
of his haunted soul to confront the ghosts of
his past, and the source of his self-imposed
misery. Boxcar Theatre, known for its imagi-
native productions of Equus, Clue and Fool
for Love, brings its own brand of the
Christmas spirit to its Tenderloin black box
space with a one-man reimaging of Dickenss
holiday tale. Veteran actor Jeff Garrett trans-
forms himself from Bob Cratchit to Jacob
Marley to Fezziwig to Tiny Tim and, at the
center of it all, portrays the haunted Scrooge
himself. Directed by Peter Ruocco.
Wednesday Dec. 12 through Sunday Dec. 30.

If you have the time and money, Stone is
also having an Epic Festival to celebrate the
Vertical Epic series that will include a taste
of every former Epic with small-plate food
pairings to accompany all 11 vintage ales on
Dec. 12, 2012. In addition, there will be
pours of barrel-aged variations of the beers.
Fifty Fifty Brewing Companys Eclipse
series is also returning in the coming weeks.
The Eclipse Series features Fifty Fiftys
already award-winning Totality Imperial
Stout that is then aged in a variety of bour-
bon casks, including Craig 12 Year, Evan
Williams Single Barrel, Rittenhouse
Rye/Pikesville Standard Rye Blend, Old
Fitzgerald Bourbon, Bernheim Wheat and
American Mellow Corn Whiskey. The
results are some of the best barrel-aged
beers you can nd and they typically sell out
within days.
The brewers description says the stouts
are aged for a minimum of 180 days in oak
bourbon barrels. This time spent adds a
plethora of avors to the already-rich
Imperial Stout. At rst taste, there is a large
presence of dark chocolate, espresso and
warmth from the alcohol of the beer. Oak
barrel character then comes into play with
hints of vanilla and coconut, followed by
mild bitterness from the hops, and then a
nice long lingering nish with hints of
tobacco, dark dried fruit and more choco-
late.
Its too late for the release party, however,
Fifty Fiftys celebration debut this years
Eclipse beers on Thursday including ones
that will never make it to a bottle.
Also out now is the 150th anniversary
Chimay Spciale Cent Cinquante. Only
released in seven states and Puerto Rico, if
you look, I assure you this is available in the
Bay Area. This is the brewerys rst special
release in roughly 46 years and only the
fourth style to be sold commercially,
according to the brewer.
Chimay describes this as a strong ale
that is made by Trappist monks at their
abbey in Belgium. They describe this beer as
having a distinctive bouquet [that] evokes
the rich fruity and complex notes of the
Chimay yeast in harmony with a delicate
spicy note and the fragrance of fresh noble
hops. At 10 percent alcohol, the avor is full
bodied and complex with a slight but
refreshing tang note and a crisp hop nish
that will delight the palate.
Although maybe a bit premature, I am
also very excited for Dogsh Head/Sierra
Nevadas next joint effort, Rhizing Bines.
For their third collaboration, the two brewers
are going to break away from the Life and
Limb and a move toward a hop-driven beer
thats due out February 2013.
The brewers say: Rhizing Bines will go
through Dogshs signature continual-hop-
ping process with oral and citrusy Bravo
hops. On the cold side, it will be dry-hopped
with an experimental varietal so new it does-
nt yet have a name, just a number: Hop
644. A component of Sierra Nevadas
aroma-boosting Torpedo system will make a
pit stop in Delaware for dry-hopping duty
before it heads to Sierras new North
Carolina brewery.

trimmings better left for DVD extras.
Two more parts are coming, so we wont
know how the whole story comes together until
the nale arrives in summer 2014. Part ones
embellishments may pay off nicely, but right
now, An Unexpected Journey looks like the
start of an unnecessary trilogy better told in one
lm.
Split into three books, The Lord of the
Rings was a natural lm trilogy, running near-
ly half a million words, ve times as long as
The Hobbit.
Jackson and his wife, Fran Walsh, along with
screenwriting partners Philippa Boyens and
Guillermo del Toro who once was attached
to direct The Hobbit, with Jackson producing
have meticulously mined Tolkien references
to events that never played out in any of the
books (stuff the lmmakers call the in-between
bits).
With that added material, theyre building a
much bigger epic than Tolkiens book, the unex-
pected journey of homebody Bilbo (Martin
Freeman, with Ian Holm reprising his Lord of
the Rings role as older Bilbo).
Bilbo has no desire to hit the road after wiz-
ard Gandalf (Ian McKellen, grandly reprising
his own Rings role) and a company of
dwarves turn up to enlist him on a quest to
retake a dwarf mountain kingdom from the
dragon that decimated it.
Yet off he goes, encountering trolls, goblins,
savage orcs and a grisly guy named Gollum
(Andy Serkis, re-creating the character that pio-
neered motion-capture performance in The
Lord of the Rings). Improved by a decade of
visual-effects advances, Gollum solidies his
standing as one of the creepiest movie creatures
ever. And as big-screen prologue moments go,
Bilbos acquisition of Gollums precious ring of
power may be second only to Darth Vaders rst
hissy breath at the end of George Lucas Star
Wars prequels.
An Unexpected Journey resurrects other
Rings favorites, some who didnt appear in
The Hobbit (Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins,
Cate Blanchett as elf queen Galadriel,
Christopher Lee as wizard Saruman) and some
who did (Hugo Weaving as elf lord Elrond).
Richard Armitage debuts as dwarf leader
Thorin Oakenshield, ennobled from a fairly
comical gure in Tolkiens text to a brooding
warrior king in the mold of Viggo Mortensen
from the Rings trilogy.
The lmmakers also pluck orc bruiser Azog
out of Tolkiens footnotes and make him
Thorins sworn enemy. Azogs a bland antago-
nist, adding little more than one-dimensional
bluster.
While there are plenty of orc skewerings and
goblin beheadings, the action is lighter and
more cartoonish than that of The Lord of the
Rings. Still, much of it is silly fun, particularly
a battle along a maze of footbridges suspended
throughout a goblin cave.
The potential sea change with The Hobbit
is Jacksons 48-frame rate. Most theaters are not
yet equipped for that speed, so the lm largely
will play at the standard 24 frames a second.
Proponents, including James Cameron, say
higher frame rates provide more lifelike images,
sharpen 3-D effects, and lessen or eliminate a
ickering effect known as strobing that
comes with camera motion. I saw the movie
rst at 24 frames a second and then at 48, and
theyre absolutely right that higher speeds clari-
fy the picture. Strobing noticeable at 24 frames
is gone at 48, providing a continuity that great-
ly improves the action sequences. And the
panoramas are like Middle-earth actually come
to life, as though youre standing on a hill look-
ing down at the hobbits Shire. If Camerons
Avatar was like looking through a window at
a fantastical landscape, An Unexpected
Journey at 48 frames is like removing the glass
so you can step on through.
But with great clarity comes greater vision.
At 48 frames, the lm is more true to life, some-
times feeling so intimate its like watching live
theater. That close-up perspective also brings
out the fakery of movies. Sets and props look
like phony stage trappings at times, the crystal
pictures bleaching away the painterly quality of
traditional lm.
This may be cinemas future, and the results
undoubtedly will improve over time. Itll be an
adjustment for audiences, though, and like the
warmth of analog vinyl vs. the precision of dig-
ital music, the dreaminess of traditional lm vs.
the crispness of high-frame rates will be a mat-
ter of taste.
The technology may improve the storys
translation to the screen. Theres just not that
much story to Tolkiens Hobbit, though.
Jackson is stretching a breezy 300 pages to the
length of a Dickens miniseries, and those in-
between bits really stick out in part one.
I do believe the worst is behind us, Bilbo
remarks as An Unexpected Journey ends.
From a hobbits lips to a lmmakers ears.
Lets hope Jackson has the goods to improve on
a so-so start. Otherwise, The Hobbit subti-
tled There and Back Again by Tolkien is
going to feel like traveling the same road more
than twice.

developments including 300 housing
units by Greystar Development on
Winslow Street and 116 units under con-
struction now at 201 Marshall St.
Projects coming up or anticipated
include housing on the San Mateo Credit
Union block bound by Veterans,
Middleeld Road, Bradford Street and
Jefferson Avenue, property on the block
bound by Main, Bradford, Walnut and
Marshall streets, the Block 2 ofce proj-
ect and the city-owned parking lot at
Winslow and Hamilton streets.
These projects really show the pent-
up demand for housing in Redwood
City, Ekhern said.
As an example of just how tight park-
ing has gotten downtown, Councilman
Ian Bain pointed out how difcult it has
become to nd space to attend a Monday
night council meeting at City Hall on
Middleeld Road let alone a more popu-
lar weekend entertainment event. Work
is under way to relocate a storm culvert
underneath the Middleeld Road park-
ing lot as part of the Redwood Tower
mixed-used buildings near Theatre Way.
Middleeld Road trafc is blocked and
parking limited.
The mixed-use complex to be built
nearby will eventually offer 200 parking
spaces but, for the next two years, the
situation is one of fewer rather than
more spots.
Theres going to be a really difcult
three years and we want to let the public
know how were going to go about it,
Ekhern said. The downtown needs to
thrive through this period. It cant just
stop.
Having workers park at the port or
elsewhere and shuttle to construction
sites was raised by Councilwoman
Barbara Pierce at the meeting but City
Manager Bob Bell said that solution
poses its own challenges when laborers
need to be close to their tools.
Union agreements also start the clock
running at the moment of parking so
shuttling would carry a nancial piece
for projects, not to mention the question
of who would pay for the vehicle serv-
ice, Ekhern said.
Bain suggested the council ask if this
is a good time to start thinking about
adding another deck to existing down-
town parking garages.
Redwood City has also received grant
money for a new parking meter system
that lets users track open spaces with a
phone application.
By Ekherns calculation, there were
810 residential units downtown prior to
the citys adoption of the precise plan. In
the next three years, there will be 1,726
units in both downtown and outside of it,
plus 3,609 public parking spots.

Mateo Road.
The store has survived despite having
three owners the past ve years but
Cunhas has a history of survival, as it
was brought back to life after it burnt to
the ground and was completely
destroyed in 2003. The city fast-tracked
the permit process for the rebuild and the
store was reconstructed quickly.
The current Cunhas store has a butch-
er, delicatessen, a large selection of
wines and fresh produce, much of it
grown on local coastal farms.
The upstairs is closed, though, which
used to house souvenirs, dishware and
clothes at the old Cunhas.
Khoury is not sure what will become
of the upstairs space yet as the emphasis
is on establishing the grocery store, he
said.
Wed like to do something up there
but its a bit too much to bite right now,
Khoury said.
Besides, hes got his hands full down-
stairs.
Khoury can do every job at Cunhas,
from handling butcher duties, stocking
produce and being cashier as his family
has been in the grocery business for 40
years. He does not work alone, though,
as he hired some of the employees who
worked for Carrubba and even one that
worked at the store 10 years ago.
The family also owns grocery stores in
Palo Alto, Windsor and Napa. Khoury,
30, travels every day from his home in
Rohnert Park to manage Cunhas.
Khoury is married and just welcomed
his fourth child. The older children can
be seen at the store on weekends.
My kids eat up all the candy, he said.
This Friday, Khoury and his family
can be seen on a oat in the Night of
Lights parade that will travel down Main
Street.
He is already starting to feel at home
in Half Moon Bay and calls the down-
town awesome.
This is a family store that offers
friendly service, he said.
The Khourys signed a 15-year lease
for the building but may try to buy it one
day, he said.
Cunhas is located at 448 Main St.,
Half Moon Bay.

CUNHAS
About 99.9 percent of crab shing
boats are tied down now at Bodega Bay,
San Francisco and Pillar Point Harbor on
the San Mateo County coast, he said.
Buyers are only offering $2.50 a
pound now, Collins said.
No one is going to sh for less crab
for less money, he said.
He is not sure how long the dispute
will last, however, after buyers suddenly
dropped their price for fresh crab
Sunday.
Jim Anderson, the captain of the
Allaine out of Pillar Point, told the Daily
Journal that negotiations between crab
sherman and buyers in Oregon could
impact the price in the Bay Area. A
negotiated wholesale price for
Dungeness crab in Oregon could affect
prices here, Anderson said.
Well know more Monday, he said.
In the meantime, the Allaine has sat
idle all week.
The market is low now. People are
busy buying Christmas presents and
trees and are not throwing a lot of crab
parties, he said. It is affecting every-
one to sit out.
CRAB
Route 92 interchange, when the driver
was struck by gunre from a suspect in
another vehicle, according to police.
The Charger was seen swerving on the
highway before it crashed into a fence
and landed in a drainage ditch between
Ralston Avenue and Holly Street,
according to police.
Police said at the time that the Charger
was denitely targeted since no other
vehicles were struck by gunre. It is
unclear whether the incident was related
to road rage or if the suspect had any
prior contacts with the victims.
At least one of the crash victims, a 24-
year-old Menlo Park man, had been
struck by gunfire in the head, first
responders initially reported. A 19-year-
old man from East Palo Alto was also
struck by gunre. A 23-year-old Santa
Cruz woman was also in the Charger and
taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

ARREST
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2012
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Because
you have an abundance of energy waiting to
be channeled, youll be willing to help others
accomplish their projects or assignments without
the slightest hesitation.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Youll be
exceptionally effective working on jobs initiated
by another that can be speedily accomplished.
Conversely, time-consuming projects will prove
diffcult.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Dont spend your
time on insignifcant situations or projects -- go after
something that is meaningful because, whether you
know it or not, youre holding the winning cards.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Having direct
involvement with another and collectively working
on a constructive project can bring you a lot of
satisfaction. If you cant do anything with a pal, do
something for him or her.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Dont ignore some
wise advice just because it comes from someone
you dont like. If you do, your ego will be the cause
of numerous problems.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Watch what you say
when in a social setting, because theres someone
among the group who is looking to use your words
against you in hopes of tripping you up.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Steer clear of someone
who makes you feel extremely uncomfortable. There
is a perfectly good underlying reason why your
instincts are telling you to avoid this person.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Make sure the
objectives you establish for yourself are within the
scope of possibility. If you attempt something thats
unrealistic, you could get yourself into big trouble.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Certain activities you fnd
interesting may not be of equal attraction to your
friends. If you attempt to add your picks to the
agenda anyway, youll lose your companions.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You should do rather
well when looking out for your interests, but the
moment you try to manage things for others, youll
quickly lose steam.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If there is something
important that you hope to accomplish, go it alone.
The participation of others could turn out to be more
of a hindrance than help.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Todays aspects could
be a bit wacky as far as youre concerned, inasmuch
as you might beneft from what another initiates, but
lose out on something that you set in motion.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Richard M. Alhona
Case Number 122863
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Richard M. Alhona. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
Patricia L. Alhona in the Superior Court
of California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Patricia
L. Alhona be appointed as personal rep-
resentative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: January 14, 2013 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
