Pockets of student enrollment growth in
elementary schools will eventually move
through to local high schools.
Unlike the elementary schools, which have
often been caught off guard with the unex-
pected growth, high school districts can see
the bubble moving through the younger
grades. Planning can start sooner as a result.
The Sequoia Union High School District, for
example, is prepping
for 20 percent
growth by 2020. The
numbers are nearly
enough for another
school. But those
students arent
spread out evenly
and there isnt space
available to simply
create a new school.
Instead, the district is
in the middle of a year-long planning process
in hopes of having the space available once
those students start their freshmen year.
We have about a three-year window with
stable enrollment. Then it really starts to take
off, Sequoia Superintendent Jim Lianides
said.
Current estimates assume enrollment will
grow from about 8,300 to 9,700 students by
2020 with the greatest number of students
coming from Belmont, Redwood Shores, San
Carlos and Menlo Park, according to a staff
report. That growth isnt equal across the dis-
trict. Also, not all schools have the capacity to
add more facilities, Lianides said. The chal-
lenge will be stretching facilities for the grow-
ing number of students.
A serious conversation to consider as the
district grows is having schools that are not
equal in size, said Lianides.
Finding the right solutions for the district
requires a lot of work. First, Sequoia will

Just less than 80 percent of regis-
tered San Mateo County voters
turned out for the recent presidential
election, marking participation not
seen in two decades which local
elections ofcials attribute to the
national prediction that President
Barack Obama and Mitt Romney
were in a virtual tie days before
Nov. 6.
The projection prompted more
voters to participate which was a
major factor in
the high turnout,

San Mateo County Sheriff Greg Munks, Redwood City Fire Chief Jim Skinner and Redwood City Police Chief JR
Gamez participate in a Turkey Carving Challengehosted by the Salvation Army in Redwood City Wednesday.
Building off a longtime Bay Area Salvation Army tradition, this mass carving helped slice102 turkeys needed
to provide hundreds of Thanksgiving dinners for Redwood City and San Mateo County.Though Salvation Army
ofcials say it was a highly contested battle, the Sheriffs Ofce won the overall carve-off and Munks won the
individual battle among the chiefs.This is the third straight year,the Sheriffs Ofce has claimed the title,according
to the Salvation Army.
CARVING UP THE COMPETITION
By Jason Keyser
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO Millions of Americans piled
their families into cars, hopped on buses and
waited out delays at airports Wednesday as
they set off on Thanksgiving treks that many
said required nancial sacrice, help from rel-
atives to come up with airfare and hours
searching online for deals.
Accepting that the road out
of the recession will be long,
many said theyve become
savvier or at least hardier
travelers resilient enough
to brave a day-long drive
with the kids or a long haul
by bus instead of flying.

Turkey is normally the shining star of
Thanksgiving dinner but Bay Area locals often
have another holiday tradition crab.
While last year a price dispute kept crab
from being part of local Thanksgiving dinners,
the crustacean is making a comeback this year.
And its not just for Thanksgiving. Many fam-
ilies enjoy crab through Christmas.
Really its something very traditional to
San Francisco, and the Bay Area in general,
said sherman Pietro Parravano.
But not everyone knows where to get crab
or how to prepare and serve it. Options lucki-
ly abound. Locally, theres the option of head-
ing to the coast, chatting with shermen like
Parravano and getting a fresh catch. There are
also a number of local stores happy to provide
tips and their own favorite ways to enjoy the
meat.

The prime suspect in the 2010 shooting of
an East Palo Alto activist delayed Mondays
hearing to decide if hell stand trial for
allegedly possessing three homemade shanks
in the county jail while awaiting trial for mur-
der.
At a hearing Wednesday, Gregory Leon
Elarms Sr., 60, waived his right to a prelimi-
nary hearing within 10 days after his defense
attorney said he needed more time to prepare.
The hearing was reset for Dec. 20.
The delay also means Elarms remains in
custody on $500,000 bail another month
because a review of the amount wont happen
until after the preliminary hearing. Elarms
was held on $150,000 bail set after a judge
dismissed the murder case but a different
judge hiked the amount temporarily earlier in
the week. The weapons case is separate than
the now-dismissed murder charges but evi-
dence, including his police
confession, in that matter
may be used in the bail
hearing by prosecutors
who contend it shows
prior acts and threats of
violence.
In the new case, Elarms
is charged with three times
possessing weapons in the
jail during February 2011
once a spork, another a toothbrush and a
third, two pencils strapped together. Each had
been sharpened to a point and reportedly dis-
covered in Elarms cell.
At the time, Elarms was in custody without
bail awaiting trial for the June 8, 2010 murder
of East Palo Alto activist David Lewis in the
parking garage of Hillsdale Shopping Center
in San Mateo. Elarms began that trial this
month but a few days into jury selection and
motions, Judge Stephen Hall ruled Elarms
police confession inadmissible because San
Mateo police did not Mirandize the Pittsburg
man or respond to his numerous requests for a
lawyer. Without the confession, Hall also
ruled there was insufcient evidence for a
murder trial.
Hall let stand one jail weapons charge
already led but prosecutors opted instead to
dismiss that case so they could instead le
three similar counts. Doing so allows the pros-
ecution to keep Elarms in the legal system
while they have the state Attorney Generals
Ofce appeal Halls ruling.
Elarms is accused of following Lewis from
San Mateo Medical Center, where he was an
outreach worker, to the parking garage and
shooting him once in the torso. The men
reportedly knew each other from childhood
but Elarms believed Lewis had become his
enemy.

A 35-year-old transient sent to a state men-
tal hospital before being tried for allegedly
grabbing a womans ponytail and stealing a
childs potato chips outside a Redwood City
supermarket will stand trial, a judge ruled
after a preliminary hearing on the evidence.
Brian Adam Christensen previously pleaded
not guilty to charges of rst-degree robbery,
battery and resisting arrest. However, he was
held to answer on all counts after a hearing in
which two prosecution witnesses testied but
none for the defense.
At a preliminary hearing a year a go,
Christensens defense attorney expressed
doubt about his competency and he was ulti-
mately committed to Napa State Hospital. He
returned to San Mateo County recently after
doctors there felt he was now able to aid in his
own defense.
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 report-
edly grabbed the womans
hair without warning and
asked if she had a prob-
lem, before latching onto
one childs foot and trying
to pull him from a
carousel, according to the
District Attorneys Ofce.
The woman kicked the
man, later identified as
Christensen, and police
reported he grabbed the childs potato chips
and walked off. Redwood City police found
Christensen nearby with the chips and arrest-
ed him after a struggle in which he spit at and
tried to head butt an ofcer. He also rambled
in a bizarre manner to the ofcers, according
to the prosecution.
He remains in custody on $100,000 bail and
returns to Superior Court Dec. 5 to enter a
plea and possibly set a trial date.

SAN FRANCISCO San
Francisco could soon be home to
some of the tiniest apartments in the
country: studios for up to two people
that include a bathroom, kitchen and
a minimalist living area measuring
10 feet by 15 feet.
The Board of Supervisors on
Tuesday approved legislation allow-
ing construction of up to 375 micro
units as small as 220-square feet.
Building codes previously had
required that apartment living rooms
alone be that size.
Several city lawmakers said they
were worried that sanctioning apart-
ments so small would exacerbate,
rather than help, San Franciscos
shortage of affordable housing by
driving up rents for bigger places.
The itsy-bitsy studios are expected
to fetch $1,300 to $1,500 a month.
The average studio apartment in the
city now goes for more than $2,000 a
month.
The board voted 10-1 to allow
them as a limited experiment, order-
ing city planners to come back after
325 of the efciency apartments have
been approved with a report outlin-
ing what they rented for and their
impact on construction of bigger
units.
Even though they do maximize
their use of the space, you are still
talking about very small units being
very expensive, Supervisor David
Campos said. If these places that are
200 square feet are going for 1500,
what is that going to do to the rest of
housing prices in San Francisco?

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama pardoned two turkeys in an annual
Thanksgiving rite on Wednesday, saying he
wanted to offer the birds a second chance.
They say life is all about second chances,
and this November I couldnt agree more with
that sentiment, a smiling Obama said in one
of several lighthearted references to his re-
election this month to a second term.
Cobbler, the newly designated national
turkey, and his alternate, Gobbler, received a
reprieve.
The American people have spoken, and
these birds are moving forward! Obama said
in a reference to his campaign slogan of
Forward.
Obama noted that Cobbler and Gobbler
were selected by the American people, who
cast their votes for the national Thanksgiving
turkey on the White House Facebook page.
Once again, Nate Silver completely nailed
it, Obama said, referring to the New York
Times blogger who correctly predicted the
presidents decisive victory in the Electoral
College.
Accompanied by daughters Sasha and
Malia, Obama waved his hand over Cobbler
in a vaguely religious dispensation, then
laughed as the bird gobbled loudly. Obama
and Sasha petted the turkey. Malia did not.
Congratulations, Cobbler. Youre going to
have a great life, Obama said.
The 19-week-old, 40-pound turkeys are
from Rockingham County, Va. They will live
at George Washingtons Mount Vernon estate,
along with last years birds, Liberty and
Peace.
Thanks to the American people, the only
cobbler anyones eating this Thanksgiving
will come with a side of ice cream, Obama
said.
On a more serious note, Obama asked
Americans to remember those in the
Northeast who lost their homes, possessions
and loved ones to Superstorm Sandy. Obama,
who toured New York and New Jersey after
the storm, said he has seen much destruction,
but I have yet to nd a broken spirit.
Later the Obamas and the presidents moth-
er-in-law, Marian Robinson, went to the
Capital Area Food Bank where they distrib-
uted sweet potatoes, carrots and other vegeta-
bles to those in need, including a group of
children wearing bright yellow vests identify-
ing them as part of the ECS youth program.
Michelle Obamas brother, Craig Robinson,
who coaches the Oregon State University
mens basketball team, joined them, along
with several team members.

A man found hidden with stolen copper
wiring inside the ceiling of the vacant build-
ing purchased to make way for the new
county jail in Redwood City was sentenced
to a mix of county jail and supervision.
For pleading no contest to possessing
stolen property, transient Thomas Richard
Barber, 55, received a two-year prison sen-
tence. Under the new realignment guide-
lines, the sentence trans-
lates into a year in the
county jail followed by a
year of mandatory super-
vision.
Redwood City police
arrested Barber in early
September after respond-
ing to reports of a suspi-
cious motorcycle outside
50 Chemical Way, a county-owned building
purchased and vacated for the new county
jail. The building is being used for practice
demolition by the Redwood City Fire
Department before the new facility is con-
structed.
The officer spotted a camouflage bag on
the motorcycle but no apparent owner. The
next day, Sept. 9, the same officer patrolling
the area saw the same bike and reported see-
ing Barber inside the building poking at the
ceiling with a pole. The officer also reported
seeing the paneling kicked out and a roll of
insulated copper wire several feet from the
motorcycle.
A K-9 unit found Barber hiding in a corner
along with more rolls of copper and the same
camouflage bag as the previous day contain-
ing tools, according to prosecutors.
Barber has been in custody on $25,000
bail since his arrest and earned 145 days
credit toward his jail term.

POINT REYES STATION U.S. Interior
Secretary Ken Salazar visited Marin County
on Wednesday on a fact-nding mission to
decide the fate of a family-run oyster farm in
the Point Reyes National Seashore.
Salazar met with the owners of the Drakes
Bay Oyster Co. and toured its harvesting and

The interior secretary is expected to decide
next week whether to allow the oyster farm to

The company is seeking a 10-year extension
of its lease, which expires Nov. 30.
Salazar said Wednesday he wanted to see
the oyster farm for himself and review a nal
environmental report before making a nal
decision.
How we move forward with the decision is
something Im giving a lot of thought to,
Salazar told Drakes Bay employees. My
mission today, frankly, is to learn some more.
The oyster company began operating in
Drakes Estero more than 70 years ago before
the seashore became part of the National Park
system in 1962. The farm produces nearly 40
percent of Californias commercial oysters.
Environmentalists and park ofcials say the
oyster farms operations threaten nearby har-
bor seals and other native species. They want
the waters of Drakes Estero returned to
wilderness.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and the
National Academy of Sciences have charged
that the National Parks Service is trying to get
rid of the oyster farm by exaggerating its neg-
ative impacts on the environment.

NEW YORK Gasoline prices
are the highest ever for a
Thanksgiving weekend. Assuming
youre not taking a sleigh over the
river and through the woods to
Grandmas, youll want to save as
much as you can on fuel.
There are two ways you can cut
your gas tab, at least a little: Use
less of it, and pay less for what you
use.
Leave behind what you dont
need. An extra 100 pounds reduces
fuel economy by up to 2 percent,
according to the Energy
Department. Dont leave your car
idling it can use up to a half gal-
lon of fuel per hour. And slow
down. Fuel economy gets worse
quickly at speeds over 50 miles per
hour. Each 5 mph over 50 is like
paying an extra 24 cents per gal-
lon, the Energy Department says.
Your computer or smartphone
can help you find cheaper gas
while you drive, thanks to services
such as GasBuddy.com. The serv-
ice, which can be accessed on a
smartphone application or on the
Internet, reports gasoline prices at
nearby stations.
GasBuddy.com, which has 8.4
million users, gets its price infor-
mation from users who enter fuel
prices into the app after seeing
them while driving by or filling up.
Users post prices to help other
drivers, according to
GasBuddy.coms Patrick DeHaan,
and those who contribute can
become eligible to win a $250 gas
card. DeHaan says that 70,000
users supply data daily. Be aware
that sometimes, especially in rural
areas, the price given might be a
few days old. But for stations in
more populated regions, the price
information is often up to the
minute.
But dont get too obsessed about
saving a penny or two a gallon
you might burn up your savings by
driving an extra distance to find
the cheaper gas.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A 33-year-old Sacramento man
accused of striking and strangling a
prostitute at a South San Francisco
motel because he felt she was not
being loyal was sentenced
Wednesday to four years in prison.
Marshaun Spencer Jourdan plead-
ed no contest to felony pimping in
return for no more than four years
which Judge Craig Parson imposed.
It was not immediately known if
Jourdan will also have to register as
a sex offender.
This is an excellent sentence and
the only way were going to get rid
of human trafcking, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
South San Francisco police arrest-
ed Jourdan in April on suspicion of
pimping and human trafcking after
being called to the La Quinta Inn by
somebody who overheard a ght.
The woman said Jourdan became
violent when he felt she was not
loyal and, on
April 24, had
beat and
grabbed her by
the throat before
taking her
money and leav-
ing. Jourdan was
arrested shortly
after at a
B u r l i n g a me
hotel.
According to prosecutors,
Jourdan contacted the 28-year-old
Minnesota woman in 2010 through
an online prostitute ad and ew her
out to California where she was
advertised on MyRedbook.com. The
woman brought in $3,000 weekly
but Jourdan kept nearly all the
money, according to the District
Attorneys Ofce.
Jourdan earned credit of 422 days
against his prison term while in cus-
tody on $500,000 bail.

CHICAGO Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
quietly resigned Wednesday, effectively
ending a once-promising political career
months after the civil rights icons son
went on a mysterious medical leave
while facing separate federal investiga-
tions.
Just two weeks after voters re-elected
him to a ninth full term, Jackson sent his
resignation letter to House Speaker John
Boehner, citing his ongoing treatment for
bipolar disorder and admitting my share
of mistakes.
The House Ethics Committee is inves-
tigating his dealings with imprisoned ex-
Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, and for
the rst time Jackson publicly acknowl-
edged reports of a new federal probe
believed to be looking into his possible
misuse of campaign money.
I am aware of the ongoing federal
investigation into my activities and I am
doing my best to address the situation
responsibly, cooperate with the investiga-
tors, and accept responsibility for my
mistakes, he wrote, adding they are my
mistakes and mine alone.
Jackson, 47, disappeared in June, and
it was later revealed that he was being
treated at the Mayo Clinic for bipolar dis-
order and gastrointestinal issues. He
returned to his Washington home in
September but went back to the clinic the
next month, with his father, the Rev.
Jesse Jackson, saying his son had not yet
regained his balance.
On Wednesday night, Jackson told
reporters that his son resigned because he
did not believe he could continue with
his political career and try to regain his
health at the same time.
He made the decision to choose his
health, said Jackson.
The elder Jackson said that his son had
wanted to hold a news conference to dis-
cuss his decision to step down but did not
believe he could do so without breaking
down.
He also said there is no way of know-
ing how long it will take for his son to
recover from what he characterized as an
internal unresolved challenge.
Its not the kind of illness you can put
a timetable on, Jackson said, adding that
he is condent that his son will get well
in time.
Jesse Jackson Jr. rst took ofce in
1995 after winning a special election in a
largely urban and Democratic district
and began his career in Washington with
a star power and pedigree that set him
apart from his hundreds of other House
colleagues.
But despite high expectations, he
largely went unnoticed as a policymaker.

Third person dies from
mushroom poisoning
By Tracie Cone
FRESNO A third person has died from eating poisonous
mushrooms at a California senior care facility where a care-
taker found the fungus in the backyard and used it to make
soup, authorities said Wednesday.
The 90-year-old man died on Saturday, state Department of
Social Services spokesman Oscar Ramirez told the Associated
Press. The Placer County Sheriffs Ofce identied him as
Frank Warren Blodgett.
Ramirez said an ofcial with Gold Age Villa in Loomis
called Monday to report the third death. State ofcials are con-
tinuing to investigate the incident that sheriffs investigators
have described as a terrible accident.
Three other people were sickened when they ate the soup
made from the poisonous mushrooms on Nov. 8, including the
caretaker who made it. Their conditions have not been made
public.
The caretaker at the six-bed care facility did not know the
mushrooms were poisonous, investigators said. The following
day, those who ate the soup were ill.
Vomiting and diarrhea associated with mushroom poisoning
can take 12 hours or longer to develop, which often makes it
difcult to diagnose, said Dr. Kent R. Olson, medical director
of the San Francisco division of the California Poison Control
System.
People dont necessarily make a connection right away,
unlike food poisoning, which comes on much more quickly,
Olson said.
The biggest problem with mushroom poisoning is liver tox-
icity. Olson said the organ stops producing normal proteins,
and it eventually shuts down and dies.
Once that happens the liver cant regenerate, so they go into
a liver failure, he said. Its quite dramatic.
Treatment includes massive amounts of IV uids to prevent
kidney failure, and activated charcoal to absorb the poison. In
the past, the mortality rate was as high as 90 percent world-
wide.

DENVER Some letters arriving from
Japanese-American internment camps during
World War II were very specic, asking for a
certain brand of bath powder, cold cream or
cough drops but only the red ones. Others
were just desperate for anything from the out-
side world.
Please dont send back my check. Send me
anything, one letter said from a California
camp on April 19, 1943.
The letters, discovered recently during ren-
ovations at a former Denver pharmacy owned
by Japanese-Americans, provide a glimpse
into life in some of the 10 camps where
110,000 people of Japanese ancestry, includ-
ing U.S. citizens, from the West Coast were
forced to live during the war.
They were written in English and in
Japanese, expressing the kinds of mundane
needs and wants of everyday life, such as
medicine as well as condoms, cosmetics and
candy.
About 250 letters and postcards, along with
war-time advertisements and catalogs, came
tumbling out of the wall at a historic brick
building on the outskirts of downtown. The
reason they were in the wall and how they got
there are a mystery, particularly because other
documents were out in the open.
The letters havent been reviewed by
experts, though the couple that found them
has contacted the Japanese American
National Museum in Los Angeles to gauge
interest in the missives.
It wasnt unusual for internees to order
items from mail order catalogs or from the
many companies that placed ads in camp
newspapers, selling everything from T-shirts
to soy sauce, said Alisa Lynch, chief of inter-
pretation at the Manzanar National Historic
Site, which was the location of a camp south
of Independence, Calif.
They earned up to $19 a month doing jobs
at camps and some were able to bring money
with them before they were interned, Lynch
said.
The building where the documents were
discovered had been vacant for seven years
when Alissa and Mitch Williams bought it in
2010.
The T.K. Pharmacy was originally owned
by Thomas Kobayashi, a native Coloradan of
Japanese descent, but during the war it was
run by his brother-in-law, Yutaka Tak
Terasaki, who died in 2004, according to his
younger brother, Sam Terasaki of Denver.
Sam Terasaki was in the service then and
doesnt remember his brother talking about
taking orders from internment camps. He said
his brother may have gotten involved because
of his longtime participation in the Japanese
American Citizens League, a national group
dedicated to protecting Japanese-Americans
civil rights. He said his brothers wife worked
as a secretary to Gov. Ralph Carr, who took
the politically unpopular stand of welcoming
Japanese-Americans to the state.
Some writers noted seeing ads for the phar-
macy. One letter from a man who said he
arrived at the Poston, Ariz., camp half dead
addressed his letter directly to Tak and
asked for chocolate. I had to wait twenty
hours in the middle of the desert at (illegible)
Junction, no place to go, just wait, he wrote.
The other camps the letters came from
included Heart Mountain in Wyoming, Gila
River in Arizona, and others in McGehee,
Ark., Topaz, Utah and Granada in southern
Colorado.

ST. LOUIS The worst U.S. drought in
decades has deepened again after more than a
month of encouraging reports of slowly improv-
ing conditions, a drought-tracking consortium
said Wednesday, as scientists struggled for an
explanation other than a simple lack of rain.
While more than half of the continental U.S.
has been in a drought since summer, rain storms
had appeared to be easing the situation week by
week since late September. But that promising
run ended with Wednesdays weekly U.S.
Drought Monitor report, which showed increas-
es in the portion of the country in drought and
the severity of it.
The report showed that 60.1 percent of the
lower 48 states were in some form of drought as
of Tuesday, up from 58.8 percent the previous
week. The amount of land in extreme or excep-
tional drought the two worst classications
increased from 18.3 percent to 19.04 percent.
The Drought Monitors map tells the story,
with dark red blotches covering the center of the
nation and portions of Texas and the Southeast
as an indication of where conditions are the
most intense. Those areas are surrounded by
others in lesser stages of drought, with only the
Northwest, Florida and a narrow band from
New England south to Mississippi escaping.
A federal meteorologist cautioned that
Wednesdays numbers shouldnt be alarming,
saying that while drought usually subsides
heading into winter, the Drought Monitor report
merely reects a week without rain in a large
chunk of the country.
The places that are getting precipitation, like
the Pacic Northwest, are not in drought, while
areas that need the rainfall to end the drought
arent getting it, added Richard Heim, a mete-
orologist with the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administrations National
Climatic Data Center. I would expect the
drought area to expand again by next week
since little rain is forecast in the Midwest in
coming days.
He said there was no clear, scientic explana-
tion for why the drought was lingering or esti-
mate for how long it would last.
Whats driving the weather? Its kind of a
car with no one at the steering wheel, Heim
said. None of the atmospheric indicators are
really strong. A lot of them are tickling around
the edges and ghting about who wants to be
king of the hill, but none of them are domi-
nant.
The biggest area of exceptional drought, the
most severe of the ve categories listed by the
Drought Monitor, centers over the Great Plains.
Virtually all of Nebraska is in a deep drought,
with more than three-fourths in the worst stage.
But Nebraska, along with the Dakotas to the
north, could still see things get worse in the
near future, the USDAs Eric Luebehusen
wrote in Wednesdays update.

OPINION 9
Dwight L. Schwab Jr.
Editor,
It is mildly entertaining to read the
opinions of Dwight L. Schwab Jr., who
calls himself a moderate conserva-
tive. Mr. Schwab apparently attended
the University of Oregon. With all of
his education and his 30 years of pub-
lishing experience, it is sad to read his
comments regarding the re-election of
President Obama in the Nov. 17 edition
of the Daily Journal.
As many conservative writers seem
to do, he resorts to name-calling and
references to God to justify his view-
points with little if any facts or data to
substantiate his political opinions. His
writing is sometimes found on
NewsBlaze, a reservoir of rambling
blogs and perspectives from an array of
folks who likely have too much time on
their hands.
Tom Elliott

Yellow journalism
Editor,
This morning I read the divisive spew
that Dwight L. Schwab Jr. wrote in his
guest perspective, Four more years in
the Nov. 17 edition of the Daily
Journal. Dwight, who calls himself a
moderate conservative is in fact a far
right, right-wing Tea Party Republican
who thinks that anyone who didnt vote
Republican in this last presidential
election is a greedy, lazy, self-serving
socialist and those who voted for
Obama caved to the love of money
and ideology over the decent, God-
fearing caring man, Mitt Romney. We
are now a self-serving, lying,
Constitution-hating, Declaration of
Independence-loathing, racially, class-
envying socialists. He talks about debt
and greed and the end of America, as
we know it. As a doomsday prophet, he
warns of rising interest rates and unem-
ployment, higher gas prices and the
death of all businesses. All this because
... America voted against the
Republican Party. Wow!
Mr. Moderate Schwab accuses 51
percent of Americans of being duped
by the respectable news media. His is
the worst kind of yellow journalism
there is. Instead of reaching across the
aisle and working to make America
better, his name-calling and accusations
sound like the sour grapes of a poor
loser. Now he wants to quit, like a baby
leaving with his ball, Nice work
America. Good luck. I cant tell you
how happy I am that an intelligent
well-informed America voted for the
right leader. America is never going to
vote for just one party. Obama won,
lets stop the obstructers, the libuster-
ing and begin the process to heal this
great nation of ours.

N
ovember has always served as
a month in which I reect
upon the gifts of providence.
Much of ones quality of life is prede-
termined by actions of others. Our par-
ents provide us with the foundation of
our social and economic reality. As
such, we inherit the legacy of opportu-
nity that rests on the shoulders of gen-
erations past. Both of my parents were
immigrants (rst and second genera-
tion) who worked their way to prosperi-
ty in the melting pot of the inner city. I
used this foundation to build a strong
sense of perseverance, determination
and patience. My family enjoys a quali-
ty of life that I would have never
believed possible. I work, live and serve
in our wonderful community. Foster
City and its families enjoy the continual
legacy of T. Jack Fosters vision and the
countless others who maintain our qual-
ity of life in their various staff and poli-
cymaker roles.
The city manager and his staff have
consistently delivered on the promise of
implementation of the policy direction
of our council. The stewardship of the
city has rested in the hands of many
dedicated and talented councilmembers.
As such, this council has inherited a
city with a strong nancial position and
an excellent quality of life. We offer
our families a safe and healthy environ-
ment to raise their children, as well as
retire and age in place if they choose to
downsize and move into our new senior
development. This legacy can and must
be maintained through diligent steward-
ship and innovation to address the
changing economic picture.
Foster City has
recognized this fact
and has approved a
new initiative to
create a sustainable
model that will pro-
tect, maintain and
create viable and
sustainable income
for the generations
to come. I am honored to serve a small
part in a larger group of eight talented
professionals to craft the framework
that will provide our city with addition-
al forms of revenue to fund our quality
of life. It will be a unied and concert-
ed effort of the part of the city staff and
policymakers to create community part-
nerships to maximize our continued
prosperity. We will reach into the com-
munity locally and regionally to nexus
with vital partners in all sectors to
enhance our understanding of the ever-
changing dynamics of commerce, con-
sumerism, business and development.
Foster City offers a unique experi-
ence to its residents and businesses. It
is a small-town feeling with powerful
economic drivers that bolster property
values and our residents quality of life.
In more prosperous times, the city has
been able to enjoy the benets of these
factors with a focus of protecting and
maintaining the same. Now we must
focus on creating new and synergistic
partnerships that will yield new and
improved opportunities for growth in
business, retail and residential property
values.
We continue to experience challenges
in our retail and commercial sectors.
This is due to many factors including
past and current developers lack of
understanding of our current inventory
as well as the causal factors that have
created vacancies and a vacuum of
interest in certain locations. We cannot
expect the burden of retail success to
borne by any one subset of the process.
We must own our own future.
Our city can no longer build retail
and commercial spaces that are left to
the will of the free market. We must
undertake a larger sustainable effort in
partnership with the Chamber of
Commerce, developers, businesses and
residents to create an economic envi-
ronment that will prosper locally,
regionally and holistically. This should
include a fresh look at our neighbor-
hood centers, our new developments
and our surrounding cities inventory.
We must encourage and invite business-
es that our residents and daytime work-
ing population want and need to
encourage a Shop Foster City mental-
ity.
As a member of our Council I am
thankful to have inherited a strong and
scally sound city with great nancial
stewardship. I look forward to hearing
from all of you about your thoughts on
how we can build a better Foster City
for today and tomorrow.

City Council. He can be reached at 468-

Gratitude Breath of relief
T
oday, Im thankful for dog breath. Horrible, smelly,
lingering dog breath. The kind of breath more likely
to melt car paint rather than anybodys heart. The type
of breath that professional cleaning and regular dousing with
anti-plaque gel fails to conquer. If
evil had a distinct odor, this breath
would be it. If there is anything
about my furry child I would
change, this would be it.
And two weeks ago I was never
so grateful to take a whiff.
Life never sucker-punches you
on a sunny Tuesday when you feel
able to contend with minor disas-
ters, the immediate chores are
done, the brain is fresh and the
emergency veterinarians fees
havent hit after-hours rates.
Instead, life waits until a late
Saturday when youve been out of town only to return and
nd during doggy roll call that one pair of bat-like ears is
missing at the back door.
Rileys secret life as an escape artist is, well, no secret. Give
the dog an inch and hell somehow gure out how to squeeze
his Jack Russell mix self through it. In this case, he got a cou-
ple inches in the form of a fence slat that must have loosened
during an earlier wind storm. A peek over the fence stand-
ing on a shaky patio chair, holding a lantern because I could-
nt nd the ashlight, mind you made my stomach drop:
pit bulls.
When the heck did they get pit bulls? And where in the
world was my dog?
The residents, nice though they were, helped little. They
were not exactly, shall I say, sober so their ballpark estimate
of having seen the dog maybe an hour before when he ran
into their yard was questionable. Equally dubious was the
story that he then ran away from the growling dogs and slid
through a different fence hole into an adjoining yard. But to
that houses yard I looked. And to its neighbors. And back to
mine. And to the porch. And down the street.
Every fruitless search increased the alarm as the minutes
ticked toward an hour. Riley was a punk but he always had
come back before or a Good Samaritan had called the number
on his name tag in a timely fashion. Neither was happening.
He was gone.
Maybe the pit bulls had got him and the owners were too
afraid to tell me. Maybe he was hurt somewhere. Maybe
somebody had him with no plans of return. That dog can usu-
ally outrun anything and jump over stacked baby gates with-
out so much as a running start. The possibilities of trouble
were endless and so was the dread. Whether its a missing
loved one or a dreaded phone call from a doctor, the not
knowing is always the most painful part.
As I and the other half drove back from our last circle of the
neighborhood and the logical part of my brain tried to drown
out the emotional panic with rational plans for posters and
calls to shelters, the oversized ears I could pick out of a lineup
was a dark shadow against the screen door. His furry brother
sat just inside the door staring at him as if to say, where have
you been?
For the record, Im not usually a crier. Also for the record,
as I hopped from the not-quite-stopped vehicle, the remnants
of my day-old mascara didnt stand a chance.
How Riley ended up there, three wide steps up from the
driveway, is unclear, especially since his back leg was at an
angle that made walking near impossible and he was shaking
with what I can only describe as a mix of fear and PTSD.
Maybe he had been hiding his battered little body somewhere
and managed to pull himself out during one of the times I was
circling that part of the block. Maybe somebody had found
him at just that moment and opted to leave him at the address
on his tag rather than call. Ill never know. What I did know
was beyond reason and hope he was back.
The physical souvenirs of Rileys eld trip included a num-
ber of cuts and scrapes and a seriously dislodged hip.
Probably hit by a car, the vet theorized. Thats OK, I told him
at the pet ER as I waited for his drugs to take effect before the
leg was reset. Chicks dig scars, I said, hoping all my reassur-
ances steadied him more than they seemed to be doing for me.
Picking him up the next morning, his leg sling tightly taped
in place the little rascal chewed through the rst two, the
veterinarian said and a medical bill with multiple digits, I
entertained the thought that is probably familiar to parents
everywhere: Thank goodness youre alive so that I can wring
your neck for what youve put me through.
With the sling off, Riley realizes he has another leg and
absolutely refuses to accept the doctors orders not to limit the
jumping and running. Sometimes I shake my head at his still-
healing scabs and occasionally ginger steps on the back leg.
You gonna get a job to pay for this? I asked once.
He didnt even bother to look contrite as he gave a lick
across the face. His breath? Still atrocious.
Two weeks ago, I would have groaned and pulled away
from the scent. But, for now, Im letting it pass while simulta-
neously saying thanks and giving my own sigh of relief.

Technologies each rose more than 60
cents. Higher-priced stocks in the Dow
carry more weight.
The Labor Department said that rst-
time applications for unemployment
benets fell by 41,000 last week to
410,000. The gure remains temporarily
high because of Superstorm Sandy and
was in line with what economists had
expected.
The news today didnt mess anything
up, said Harry Clark, CEO of Clark
Capital Management, an investment
advisory rm in Philadelphia. With no
bad news, this market will drift higher.
Thats partially because investors have
stopped worrying as much about the
scal cliff of tax increases and govern-
ment spending cuts that are set to take
effect Jan. 1, Clark said.
Over the past week, congressional
Republicans and Democrats have made
conciliatory remarks and raised hopes
that they will reach a deal to stave off the
full effect of the budget-tightening meas-
ures.
While the cuts would hurt the econo-
my gradually, they could be enough to
push the U.S. back into recession next
year, economists have warned.
Both sides appear to have extended
an olive branch, said JJ Kinahan, chief
derivatives strategist at TD Ameritrade.
The assumption now is that, it may not
be pretty, but at the end of the day theyll
get some compromise worked out.
In other Wednesday trading, the
Standard & Poors 500 index gained

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. Twinkies,
Ho Hos and Wonder Bread are up for
sale now that a bankruptcy judge cleared
the way for Hostess Brands Inc. to re its
18,500 workers and wind down its oper-
ations.
A last-ditch effort to end a strike with
Hostess bakers union failed Tuesday
night and Judge Robert Drain on
Wednesday approved the companys
request to shut down its business and sell
the pieces to the highest bidder.
Hostess management told Drain that
they needed to begin the liquidation
process quickly to take advantage of a
surge in outside interest in its brands,
which in addition to its namesake include
Natures Pride, Dolly Madison and
Drakes.
Hostess, based in Irving, Texas, also
wanted to quickly shut down because it
has been spending about $1 million a day
in payroll without any income since it
halted operations last week.
The company will send out termina-
tion notices to its employees on
Wednesday, said CEO Gregory Rayburn.
Those employees now need to look
for work, he said.
Hostess said it plans to retain about
3,200 employees to help with the initial
phase of the wind down. The entire
process should take about a year.
The snack makers demise was years in
the making. Management missteps, ris-
ing labor costs and changing tastes cul-
minated in a crippling strike by The
Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers
and Grain Millers International Union.
Hostess shut down its plants late last
week after it said the strike by the bakery
union hurt its ability to maintain normal
production. The liquidation means the
closure of 33 bakeries, 565 distribution
centers, about 5,500 delivery routes and
570 bakery outlet stores, the company
said.

Drivers pay more for gas, but still give thanks
Many drivers are giving more at the pump than a year ago
but they still have reason to be thankful. Prices in many parts
of the country have fallen recently, and AAA says gas prices
could end the year lower than where they started.
The national average Wednesday was $3.43, down 44
cents from mid-September although still 8 cents higher than
a year earlier. Gas started the year at $3.28 a gallon. AAA
says it should be between $3.10 and $3.30 when 2012 ends.
Still, because the price was so high for so much of the
year, Americans are likely to spend a record amount for gas
in 2012. Tom Kloza of the Oil Price Information Service
estimates that Americans will spend about $483 billion on
fuel this year, eclipsing last years record of $471 billion.
And thats even as Americans use less gas by taking shorter
trips or driving more fuel efcient cars.
The Energy Department estimates that gas prices will
average $3.64 a gallon this year after averaging a record
$3.53 a gallon in 2011.
A number of things affect the price of gasoline. It starts
with the price of oil, which can be impacted by everything
from the strength, or weakness, of the global economy to
tensions in the Middle East.
Jury convicts man in iPad data breach case
NEWARK, N.J. A federal jury on Tuesday convicted a

ing more than 120,000 email addresses of iPad users includ-
ing New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and lm mogul

divulging email addresses including those of Bloomberg,
Weinstein, then-White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel,
whos now Chicagos mayor, and other celebrities.

lthough the football season is not
ofcially over for the Peninsula
Athletic League four teams
are still in the playoff mix the PAL still
held their end-of-the-season coaches meet-
ing to discuss the future of the league.
Some interesting information came out
of that meeting, according to Aragon
coach and athletic
director Steve Sell.
First, the mundane.
As is the case with the
post-season meeting,
the league decided on
the restructuring of its
three divisions. 2012
Ocean Division cham-
pion South City, and
second-place nishers
Menlo School and
Sequoia, will be mov-
ing up to the Bay
Division for the 2013
season, while Aragon,
Burlingame and Half Moon Bay will move
down to the Ocean.
It is the second time in three seasons the
Dons will not be playing in the PALs top
division and Sell has no problem with that.
He said his frosh-soph team was outscored
205-24 this season.
On paper, we deserved to go down,
Sell said.
For South City and Menlo, they return to
the Bay Division for the rst time since
2008, while Sequoia completed its rise
from Lake Division champion in 2010 to
the top division in the PAL for the rst
time.

Frank Rodriguez was a smile and hug
machine last Saturday.
At approximately 11:15 a.m., 18 girls
water polo players.
Then at around 4 p.m., 17 boys water
polo players.
And once 7:20 p.m. rolled around, 14
girls volleyball players.
One by one, Sacred Heart Prep athletes
heard their names called from the public
address systems at the Santa Clara Swim
Center and Independence High School,
and each one approached Rodriguez not
wanting a handshake, but a hug.
Because thats what Central Coast
Section champions do when they cele-
brate. They hug it out.
And when you win
three CCS titles in one
day, well, theres plenty
of celebrating to get
done.
Rodriguez, who has
overseen nine Gator
championships from the
Fall of 2011 to the Fall
of 2012 loved every sin-
gle one of those hugs
like a proud father.
Its a pretty good day to be a Gator,
Rodriguez said as he held the CCS
Division IV volleyball trophy in his arms
like a newborn baby. Pretty terric day
to be a Gator, actually.
For those keeping score at home, in a
matter of 10 hours, Sacred Heart Prep
picked up titles in girls water polo, boys
water polo and girls volleyball last
Saturday. The latter two were dominating
performances by the Gators. And the rst
marked the sixth consecutive season a

nating fashion over Pacic Grove 48-15

CINCINNATI Andy Dalton has never
spoken to Carson Palmer, the quarterback he
replaced last year. Coach Marvin Lewis has
limited his interaction with the former fran-
chise player to a few texts.
None of the Bengals has stayed in close
contact with Palmer since they parted ways a
little more than a year ago. And theres not a
whole lot to say about their slightly awkward
reunion Sunday.
The Raiders (3-7) are coming to Paul
Brown Stadium with the quarterback who led
the Bengals (5-5) to some of their best
moments of the past 20 years, then decided he
wanted out because he was worn out.
Palmer is looking forward to his rst visit to
the area since the Bengals nished 4-12 in the
2010 season, prompting
him to demand a trade.
Im excited, he said
during a 23-minute confer-
ence call with Cincinnati
writers on Wednesday.
One of my favorite stadi-
ums to play in, great
atmosphere, beautiful sta-
dium. Obviously, with the
past it adds a little bit on
it. They need a win, we need a win. Its a big
game for both sides.
I expect it to be loud and extremely elec-
tric. Im not exactly expecting a welcome
back.
For the Bengals, its less about Palmer and
more about the playoffs. Theyve played their
best games of the season back-to-back, leav-
ing them one game out in the wild card race.
That makes it much easier to focus on some-
thing other than the notable visitor.
We moved on past the Carson situation a
while back, safety Chris Crocker said. Its
really about whos next, and the Oakland
Raiders are the next team up. Im sure the
Raiders are going to come in and here and be
jacked and be excited to play.
Really its not about him this week.
Not even a little?
Its not just talk, its really the truth, left
tackle Andrew Whitworth said. Nobody has
talked about it.
The community doesnt seem all that inter-
ested in it, either. The Bengals hadnt sold out
the game by midweek. The fans that do show
up can be expected to boo the quarterback
who brought hope to one of the NFLs worst
franchises three winning records in the last
21 years before deciding he needed out.
Just a culmination of things, Palmer said
Wednesday. Some things that I had learned
that ownership ... Just some things that built
up over time and it was just time for a
change.
Asked to complete the sentence about own-
erships plans, Palmer said, No, Im not
going to go into that.
He told the media in Oakland on
Wednesday that his former teammates under-
stood.
I think that anybody thats ever played for
that ownership knows what I was doing and
why I was doing it, Palmer said.
His standoff with owner Mike Brown ended
when Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell
broke his collarbone midway through last sea-
son and Oakland offered a rst-round and a
Palmer headed back to Cincy for awkward reunion

NEW YORK NHL labor talks broke off
soon after they resumed Wednesday, with
players maintaining their new proposal was a
huge economic concession and Commissioner
Gary Bettman pretty much saying the only
deal he will agree to is the one management
proposed last month.
On the 67th day of a lockout that already
has wiped out more than a quarter of the reg-
ular season, the sides headed home for
Thanksgiving with no end in sight to the
sports fourth work stoppage. The unions
negotiating committee planned to brief play-
ers and get back in touch with management on
Friday.
Were dealing with a union that really isnt
trying to negotiate, make any deal that we can
live with for the long-term health of this
game, Bettman said outside the leagues
Manhattan ofce when questioned by a fan,
41-year-old Jaymes Hall of Lancaster, Pa.
Were hoping that with the passage of time,
the players association will come to realize
that what we have proposed has been more
than fair. And the fact that were keeping this
proposal on the table, when it was contingent
on an 82-game season, should be evidence of
our desire to get this done the right way.
Players made what both sides called a com-
prehensive proposal. Union head Donald Fehr
said the sides were $182 million apart in a
ve-year deal, which comes to $1.2 million
annually for each of the 30 teams.
On the big things there was as of today no
reciprocity in any meaningful sense, no move-
ment on the players share, no movement on
salary-arbitration eligibility, no movement on
free agency eligibility, no agreement on a pen-
sion plan, Fehr said.
Management wants to increase eligibility
for free agency to 28 years of age or eight sea-
sons of NHL service, up from 27 or 7.
Management also proposed Wednesday
adding a year of service for salary arbitration
eligibility, hiking it from 1-4 to 2-5 years of
service, depending on the age a player signs, a
person familiar with the bargaining said. The
person spoke on condition of anonymity
because that detail wasnt announced.
There seems to be a lot of spinning and
gamesmanship going on, Bettman said.
Winnipeg defenseman Ron Hainsey, among
nine players at the bargaining, said the union
was disappointed with the response.
There was no meaningful move in our
direction on anything that we would consider,
he said.
Fehr nearly said players found the days two
bargaining sessions, which totaled 2 1/2
hours, to be a waste of time.
A lot of the people that were there today,
given the response we got, thought they had a
lot better things to do on the night before
Thanksgiving than hear what we got, he said.
The NHL on Oct. 16 proposed a 50-50 split
of hockey-related revenue, down from the
players 57 percent portion of $3.3 billion last
season. With guaranteed contracts likely to
push the players share over the halfway mark
at the start of the next deal, management
wants that money to come out of future years
to bring the overall percentage down to an
even split over the length of an agreement.
NHL talks break off again
SPORTS 13
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico The family of
Hector Macho Camacho tried to decide
Wednesday whether he should be removed
from life support after a shooting in his Puerto
Rican hometown left the former boxing cham-
pion clinging to life and his fans mourning the
loss of a dynamic and often troubled athlete.
Doctors at the Centro Medico trauma center
in San Juan found that Camacho had irregular
and intermittent brain activity late Wednesday,
said Dr. Ernesto Torres, the centers director.
We cant declare him brain dead, he said.
Were going to ask the people of Puerto Rico
to keep praying.
Torres said doctors will conduct additional
tests early Thursday but warned the prognosis
remains dire.
The changes have been more negative than
positive, he said, adding that Camacho does
not have enough blood coursing through his
brain.
Doctors initially had said Camacho was in
critical, but stable condition and expected to
survive after he was shot Tuesday night in the
city of Bayamon. But his condition worsened
overnight and his heart
stopped at one point, Torres
said.
The 50-year-old
Camacho was shot as he
and a friend sat in a Ford
Mustang parked outside a
bar. Police spokesman Alex
Diaz said ofcers found
nine small bags of cocaine
in the friends pocket, and a
10th bag open inside the
car.
Camachos mother, who ew in Wednesday
from New York, will lead the discussion about
whether he should be removed from life sup-
port, said Ismael Leandry, a longtime friend and
former manager who was also at the hospital.
We just have to wait to see if Macho gets
better. Its a hard battle, Leandry told The
Associated Press as he joined friends and fami-
ly outside the emergency room.
Torres said Camachos mother, Maria Matias,
spent about 20 minutes with her son, one of the
most dynamic boxing personalities of his era,
and was expected to return for a second visit on
Wednesday night.
His mother came and she is devastated, he
said. She knows the prognosis is not at all
favorable.
A godson, Widniel Adorno, said the family
has discussed the possibility of organ donation
but no nal decision has been made.
Camachos friend, identied as 49-year-old
Adrian Mojica Moreno, was killed in the attack.
Police said two assailants ed in an SUV but no
arrests have been made and no motive has been
disclosed.
Camacho was rushed to Centro Medico,
where doctors initially said the bullet passed
through his jaw and lodged in his shoulder.
Torres said the bullet damaged three of the four
main arteries in his neck and fractured two ver-
tebrae, which could leave him paralyzed if he
were to survive.
Steve Tannenbaum, who has also represented
Camacho in the past, had been told earlier by
friends at the hospital that the boxer would
make it.
This guy is a cat with nine lives. Hes been
through so much, he said. If anybody can pull
through it will be him.
Friends and family members waited anxious-
ly at the hospital, fondly recalling Camachos
high-energy personality and his powerful skills
in the ring.
He was like a little brother who was always
getting into trouble, said former featherweight
champion Juan Laporte, a fellow Puerto Rican
who grew up and trained with Camacho in New
York.
Camacho has been considered one of the
more controversial gures in boxing, but also
popular among fans and those who worked in
the sport.
The Macho Man was a promoters dream,
renowned promoter Don King told AP. He
excited boxing fans around the world with his
inimitable style. He was a nice, amiable guy
away from the ring.
King had promoted Camacho but was caught
off guard by news of the attack on the former
champion. What a tragedy this is, he said.
Im very sorry for Hector and his family. My
prayers go out to him.
The ghters last title bout came against then-
welterweight champion Oscar De La Hoya in
1997, a loss by unanimous decision. He last
fought in May 2010, losing to Saul Duran.
Tannenbaum said they were looking at a possi-
ble bout in 2013.

Not enough teams to
fill all bowl spots yet
Miamis decision to ban itself from postsea-
son football this season may have a few bowl
executives squirming. With the Hurricanes out
of the picture, there are now 61 bowl eligible
teams and 70 available spots in the 35
bowls. A handful of teams still have a chance
to reach six wins and join the list of qualiers,
but there may not be enough when its all said
and done.
Before the season, the NCAA announced
contingency plans for exactly this type of sce-
nario. Theres even a way for 5-7 teams to be
selected its tied to academic performance
if other alternatives have been exhausted.
The list of 61 eligible teams does not
include Georgia Tech, which is 6-5 but could
end up 6-7 if it loses this weekend and again
in the ACC title game. However, if there arent
enough teams at .500 or better to ll all the
bowls, Georgia Tech at 6-7 would have priori-
ty over any 5-7 teams.
Meanwhile, here are the 16 teams still on
the bubble and what they need to do to
become bowl eligible:
Baylor (5-5) must win at home against
Texas Tech OR at home against Oklahoma
State.
Central Michigan (5-6) must win at
Massachusetts.
Connecticut (4-6) must win at Louisville
AND at home against Cincinnati.
Georgia Tech (6-5) must win at Georgia OR
in the ACC title game against Florida State.
Marshall (5-6) must win at East Carolina.
Michigan State (5-6) must win at
Minnesota.
Mississippi (5-6) must win at home against
Mississippi State.
Missouri (5-6) must win at Texas A&M.
Pittsburgh (4-6) must win at home against
Rutgers AND at South Florida.
Purdue (5-6) must win at home against
Indiana.
Rice (5-6) must win at UTEP.
SMU (5-6) must win at home against Tulsa.
Troy (5-6) must win at Middle Tennessee.
Virginia Tech (5-6) must win at home
against Virginia.
Wake Forest (5-6) must win at home against
Vanderbilt.
West Virginia (5-5) must win at Iowa State
OR at home against Kansas.

MIAMI Mark Buehrle issued a parting
shot at Miami Marlins management after his
stay with the team lasted only one tumultuous
season.
The left-hander, who signed a four-year
contract a year ago, was part of the block-
buster trade that sent Buehrle, All-Star short-
stop Jose Reyes, right-hander Josh Johnson
and two other players to the Toronto Blue
Jays. With the deal, the Marlins pared $146.5
million in future payroll.
Im upset with how things turned out in
Miami, Buehrle said in a statement issued
Wednesday through his agent, Jeff Berry.
Just like the fans in South Florida, I was lied
to on multiple occasions. But Im putting it
behind me and looking forward to moving on
with my career.
Team President David Samson said the
Marlins didnt lie to Buehrle, but instead were
compelled to make drastic changes after a dis-
astrous season that included a last-place nish
and disappointing attendance in a new ball-
park.
Im as sorry as he is that he was traded,
Samson said during his weekly radio show on
WINZ-AM. There was no way we could
have envisioned what happened, both on and
off the eld.
Buehrle signed a $58 million, four-year deal
with the Marlins during their unprecedented
spending spree a year ago. Part of the lure was
the chance to pitch again for Ozzie Guillen,
who had been Buehrles manager with the
Chicago White Sox.
The Marlins then nished last in the NL
East at 69-93. Guillen was red, and owner
Jeffrey Loria ordered a dramatic reduction in
payroll.
Miami fans were outraged because team
ofcials had said the taxpayer-nanced ball-
park would ensure higher revenue and pay-
rolls. Samson said spending reductions were
necessary because 2012 attendance fell short
of projections.
Berry said he and Buehrle were wary of
signing with the Marlins because of their his-
tory of rapid roster turnover, and because of
the teams longstanding policy against no-
trade clauses.
Throughout the recruiting process, the
Marlins made repeated assurances about their
long-term commitment to Mark and his fami-
ly and their long-term commitment to building
a winning tradition of Marlins baseball in the
new stadium, Berry said in a statement.
At the same time, given the Marlins histo-
ry, we were all certainly aware of and voiced
concern about the lack of no-trade protection.
This is unquestionably a business, and signing
with the Marlins was a calculated risk. Mark
held up his end of the bargain; unfortunately,
the same cant be said of the Marlins.
Buehrle was one of the few Miami players
to perform up to expectations this year. He
exceeded 200 innings for the 12th consecutive
season and went 13-13 with a 3.74 ERA.

conditional second-round pick. Raiders head
coach Hue Jackson a former Bengals assis-
tant who scouted Palmer in high school
strongly supported the move.
Jackson was red after an 8-8 nish in
Oakland. He came back to the Bengals as an
assistant coach for special teams and defensive
backs. Hes trying not to get wrapped up in his
reunion week.
Honestly, its really another football game,
Jackson said after practice. For me, it is. It has
to be. You cant get caught up in the emotional
part of it because thats not what this is about.
Dalton has managed to avoid the drama, too.
Knowing that Palmer had threatened to hold
out, the Bengals took Dalton in the second
round of the 2011 draft and installed him as the
starter. When Dalton looked good at the start of
the season, the Bengals became open to trading
Palmer.
One advantage to how it worked out:
Palmers status wasnt a distraction to Dalton
because he was never around.
Everythings worked out, said Dalton, who
led the Bengals to the playoffs with a 9-7
record and made the Pro Bowl as a rookie.
For me, its perfect. I got to play all last year,
got to start and didnt have to worry about all
that stuff.

that same afternoon. The 2012 Fall season
marked a repeat of the championship feat.
SHP last accomplished that in 2009. In 2010
and 2011, losses to Menlo School (in boys
water polo) and Soquel High School (in girls
volleyball) prevented the Gators from making
it a remarkable four consecutive seasons.
But while winning is always nice, and while
there have been other county schools that
have won more CCS titles since 1966, the
overwhelming sense of family, as typied by
all the hugging directed at the man whos
been steering the program since 2005, was a
sight to behold.
Im very lucky, Rodriguez said. I get to
share 600 kids every year. Im so blessed
because the parents share them with me as
well as the coaches. Im very fortunate to be
in an environment that allows me to connect
with these kids on a special level. It makes
those days that are a little challenging, it
makes it all worth it when I get the opportuni-
ty to share something like this with them. Im
the lucky one. I am.
SHP has a long, rich athletic history. Since
1966, only Menlo School (89), Carlmont (78)
and Menlo-Atherton (72) have won more
CCS titles than Sacred Heart (70) here on the
Peninsula. The Gators are tied with the rival
Knights for most state titles with seven.
I think rst of all, we have amazing coach-
es, Rodriguez said, adding that there are four
key components to his programs success.
We have great continuity in the coaching
staff. We have coaches who want to be at
Sacred Heart. Who love the kind of kid that
we have there and Im blessed, most of our
coaches have been there for such a long time.
Their systems have been very good.
We have great kids, he said. We have
kids that work hard and they believe in cele-
brating each others successes as much as
their own. I think thats critical. They work
hard academically. School is pretty rigorous.
And I think theyre able to transition that rigor
from the classroom to going out for a couple
hours a day with people that they really care
about and working together for a common
goal. Its very important to them. We have
built a culture where it goes back to celebrat-
ing each others successes.
And then, Rodriguez added the importance
of the SHP administration who understand
and appreciates how a positive athletic experi-
ence contributes to a kids overall experience
in high school and a core of incredibly sup-
portive parents.
Its the whole package. And were really
fortunate.
The whole package on Saturday included
loud student sections at two distinct venues as
well or the Gator Nation in short.
Its become a bit of a tradition, Rodriguez
said. It doesnt end when one senior class
leaves because the underclassmen see how the
seniors end up pulling the team together. You
just try to come to work every day and try to
be a positive inuence on the kids. Were
blessed with a tremendous group of people.
Thats probably what Im proudest of. Yes,
weve become a pretty respected athletic
school I think. But it all ts within the mission
of the school. We havent tried to make it
more than just a part of our students overall
experience.
And on Saturday, hugs and smiles were part
of that championship experience as well.

Sports brief
Third try at womens
pro soccer league to launch
CHICAGO Another pro womens soccer
league will try to succeed where two previous
attempts have failed.
The currently unnamed eight-team league
will launch in the spring, U.S. Soccer
announced Wednesday. The clubs will be
located in Boston, Chicago, Kansas City, New
Jersey, Portland, Seattle, western New York
and Washington.
The sport has repeatedly shown it can draw
large numbers of fans in the stands and on TV
for the World Cup and Olympics, but womens
soccer has yet to nd a foothold as a pro sport
in the U.S.
WUSA folded in 2003 after three seasons,
failing to capitalize on the success of the 1999
World Cup. More recently, Womens
Professional Soccer folded this year, also after
three seasons.
With a vested interest in ensuring national
team players have somewhere to play in the
years leading up to the 2015 World Cup, U.S.
Soccer is stepping in this time to seek to cre-
ate a viable economic model.

We Buy Gold, Jewelry,
Diamonds, Silver & Coins
By Paul Newberry
ATHENS, Ga. Christian
Robinson is a competitor. Naturally,
the Georgia linebacker would like to
see how the Bulldogs stack up
against the best teams from around
the nation.
Not to mention, he loves checking
out new places.
But, when you play in the
Southeastern Conference, those
experiences dont come along very
often. You see, the nations top foot-
ball league is content to sit on its
laurels, scheduling a bunch of cup-
cakes instead of behaving like a
champion.
Its motto could be, Have bus,
will travel, because outside the
conference theres rarely any reason
to break out a plane.
There are a lot of guys whove
never own on a plane before,
Robinson said. I remember going
out to play Colorado a couple of
years ago, seeing the mountains. I
had never been out there before.
Theres more than just football on
the line in those kind of games.
Theres a lot of different experi-
ences that who knows? you
may never get to experience again.
Enough already.
Its time for the SEC to be penal-
ized in the rankings.
Personal foul, refusing to play
enough tough teams.
This season, the 14-team SEC has
a grand total of 14 non-conference
games against opponents from the
other so-called major conferences.
And four of those are pretty much
mandated by in-state rivalries an
early season meeting between
Kentucky and Louisville of the Big
East, plus Saturdays games against
three Atlantic Coast Conference
opponents: Georgia hosting Georgia
Tech, Florida traveling to Florida
State, and South Carolina playing at
Clemson.
Mississippi State and Texas A&M
didnt schedule anyone from anoth-
er Bowl Championship Series con-
ference. The only SEC teams that
played more than one were
Vanderbilt, which lost to
Northwestern (Big Ten) and travels
to Wake Forest (ACC) on Saturday,
and newcomer Missouri, which
apparently has yet to learn how the
game is played since it met both
Arizona State (Pac-12) and
Syracuse (Big East).
Joke of a weekend
Last weekend was downright
embarrassing, a Saturday full of
games that passed for an SEC-FCS
Challenge. The biggest, baddest
conference in the land beating up a
bunch of lower-division schools that
dont have the athletes, scholarships
or funding to make it anything close
to a fair ght:
Alabama 49, Western Carolina 0.
Georgia 45, Georgia Southern 14.
Auburn 51, Alabama A&M 7. Texas
A&M 47, Sam Houston State 28.
Kentucky 34, Samford 3. Florida
23, Jacksonville State 0. South
Carolina 24, Wofford 7.
The whole day was a spectacle
unbecoming of such a mighty
league.
But the SEC is making no apolo-
gies.
Our conference schedule is
tough enough, South Carolina
coach Steve Spurrier said
Wednesday. We dont need to go
play Oregon and Stanford and those
kind of teams unless we want to lose
a bunch of games.
Wow, is the SEC running scared?
Probably not.
But the league is intent on pro-
tecting the lofty records of its best
teams, and its hard to argue with
the results. Six straight national
championships. A good shot at a
seventh with No. 2 Alabama and
No. 3 Georgia in the thick of things
this season.
If we keep playing the top teams
from other conferences, our record
isnt going to be near as good,
Spurrier said bluntly. In our busi-
ness, its all about the record.
Theres no playoff, so its whatever
your record is. If you play all the
best teams around the country and
only beat four of them, everybody is
going to be mad at you. But if you
play some people you can beat and
win nine or 10, everybody is happy.
Its whether you want to be
happy or want to play a whole
bunch of tough teams.
Nothing out of the ordinary
Granted, no one is taking on any
and all comers.
A case can be made that the Big
12 is just as guilty of this gimme
mentality, with only seven non-con-
ference matchups against BCS
opposition this season. But thats a
10-team league that plays nine con-
ference games, one more than the
SEC, leaving far fewer chances and
less exibility to pick up quality
opponents.
The Pac-12 (11 games against
other BCS teams) is in a similar sit-
uation, with a nine-game conference
schedule and two fewer members
than the SEC. The Big Ten also has
two less schools (for now), which
means its 14 out-of-conference
games against BCS opposition car-
ries more weight than the same
number from its counterpart to the
south.
The two weakest leagues have by
far the toughest non-conference
schedules. The ACC is taking on 21
BCS opponents, while the eight-
member Big East has 15 such
games. Much of that is out of neces-
sity, since hardly any of those
schools can just throw open the
doors and expect 90,000 fans in the
stands no matter who the home
team is playing which is the case
at SEC powerhouses such as
Alabama, Georgia and LSU.
Enjoying home cooking
Perhaps the most troubling thing
about the SEC is the unwillingness to
venture very far from home.
Vanderbilt is the lone school going
outside the conferences 11-state foot-
print, and one of those trips is for
Saturdays game in neighboring
North Carolina. The September trip to
suburban Chicago to face
Northwestern is the only time an SEC
team has ventured north of the
Mason-Dixon line or, for that matter,
west of Dallas (Alabama faced
Michigan in the season opener at
Cowboys Stadium).
This is nothing new, either.
Florida hasnt played a non-confer-
ence game outside the sunshine state
since a trip to Syracuse in 1991!
Georgia went more than four decades
without playing a regular-season
game outside the connes of old
Confederacy (if Kentucky is includ-
ed) until a 2008 game at Arizona
State.
No other league comes close to
being that provincial. The Big Ten, for
instance, has nine games outside its
state boundaries this season. The ACC
plays 13, the Big East 11.
This is not meant to cast doubt on
the SEC being the strongest confer-
ence of all.
Ranking based on reality
But its time to start ranking the
teams more on who theyre playing and
less on reputation. Theres some truly
horrid squads in the SEC this season,
and not nearly the top-to-bottom depth
as past years. Tennessee and Kentucky
are both winless in conference play and
have already red their coaches.
Auburn is also 0-7 in the SEC and
might be down to its nal days with
Gene Chizik at the helm.
Even so, if Alabama and Georgia
win this week and both are heavy
favorites the SEC will be assured of
having a shot at another national title.
Never mind that its hard to see how
Bulldogs, especially, deserve to be in
such a lofty position.
Georgia (10-1) has defeated only two
top-division teams with winning
records, No. 6 Florida and Vanderbilt,
and the loss was a blowout 35-7 at
South Carolina. No team has ever won
a national title with such a lopsided
defeat on its record. Yet here are the
Bulldogs, two wins away from playing
for the biggest title of all.
They should give thanks to the
schedule.
SEC needs to be flagged for soft schedule

Lake Division champion Capuchino and
runner-up San Mateo will move up to the
Ocean Division, while Kings Academy and
Jefferson will move down into the Lake.
And now for the juicy portion of the meet-
ing. Sell said the rumblings and grumblings
about CCS may lead the PAL to look at alter-
natives to the CCS playoffs. The way CCS is
currently set up, its an exception, rather than
rule, that a PAL team wins a CCS champi-
onship.
I think there is a growing sense of frus-
tration, Sell said. Unless youre a really
small school, like Menlo or Sacred Heart
Prep in Division IV the chances of win-
ning a section title are slim and none.
Its to the point that Sell and others are
contemplating declining bids to CCS and
just having their season nish with their
rivalry games.
Its not unprecedented. Currently, Lincoln-
San Jose and San Jose Academy bypass CCS
and instead face each other every
Thanksgiving Day in the annual Big Bone
Game. The San Francisco public schools are
its own section and thus hold a league play-
off to determine its section champion.
If 7-3 doesnt get into the playoffs and we
nish with a win over Hillsdale (its OK),
Sell said. Playing for a CCS title is becom-
ing a holy grail.
There is an even more extreme plan Sell
said the PAL may begin looking into. Instead
of playing in CCS, there would be a PAL
playoff, with the championship game sched-
uled for Thanksgiving Day.
Again, there is precedent. For many years,
the Little Big Game was played on
Thanksgiving, well before the advent of
CCS. When CCS became incorporated, the
Mid-Peninsula League, among others, did
not participate in the CCS playoffs. It wasnt
until 1978 that all the leagues that encompass
CCS participated in the playoffs. From 1982
to 1992, the PAL played in what was called
the CCS North, which was essentially a PAL
tournament. There is now talk about going
back to that type of system.
It was a county football tournament (back
them). Those games were exciting. It was a
big community event, Sell said. Last week,
we went down San Jose (to play Leland) and
no one was there.
***
A couple of former county basketball
standouts are excelling on college courts.
Former Serra star Decensae White, who
plays for San Francisco State University, was
named to the all-tournament team of the Ron
Logsdon Classic in Rohnert Park. White
averaged 20.5 points in two games, shooting
53 percent from the eld.
In a 115-110 triple overtime loss to
Dominican University, White lled the stat
sheet. He nished with 24 points, going 7 for
15 from the eld, including 3 for 3 from
behind the 3-point arc. He hit on 7 of 10
from the free throw line, dished ve assists
and came up with three steals.
He had a similar line in a 86-78 loss to
Minnesota State. He scored 17 points on 7
for 11 shooting, had two assists, one blocked
shot and one steal.
Peter Pappageorge, who starred at
Burlingame and Caada College, is in his
senior year at Long Beach State. After seeing
limited action last year as a junior,
Pappageorge was named team captain for the
2012-13 season. He has appeared in all four
games for the 1-3 49ers. He started the sea-
son opener, a 75-65 win over North
Alabama, he came off the bench to score six
points against North Carolina and had three
against USC. He returned to the starting line-
up against Arizona, scoring 16 points in 33
minutes in a 94-72 loss.
For the season, Pappageorge is averaging
7.5 points per game, while playing 23 min-
utes.

Yet coach Jim Harbaugh said that once Smith
is available, the QB for the NFC West-leading
Niners (7-2-1) could change week to week, and
even during the course of a game. Harbaugh
gave no indication when he would select his No.
1 for Sundays game at New Orleans (5-5).
People are probably drooling all over them-
selves because they have something to talk
about, Harbaugh said. Well let it play out. I
wouldnt expect an announcement today or any
timeline on that. Well get that to you.
Harbaugh underwent a follow-up evaluation
for his irregular heartbeat Tuesday and said,
believe weve got that one licked. He has quit
chewing tobacco and given up the four or ve
Diet Cokes he was drinking daily after doctors
encouraged him to improve his diet and decrease
his caffeine intake. Harbaugh underwent a car-
diovert procedure last Thursday.
Zero, he said of soda
and dipping. Cold turkey.
He swears hes had no
headaches as he moves off
caffeine. But picking his
quarterback for Sundays
game at the Superdome
very well could give him
one.
Smith completed 18 of
19 passes for 232 yards and
three touchdowns without an interception in a
Monday night win Oct. 29 at Arizona for a pass-
er rating of 157.1. Smith then sustained a con-
cussion in the second quarter of a 24-24 tie
against St. Louis on Nov. 11. He even threw a
touchdown pass with blurred vision six plays
after taking the hit doctors believe caused his
injury.
Kaepernick went 16 for 23 for 243 yards, two
touchdowns and an impressive passer rating of
133.1 in his rst NFL start Monday against
Chicago. The second-round draft pick out of
Nevada in 2011 hardly seemed fazed by foot-
balls big stage. He directed scoring drives on the
Niners initial four possessions and completed
12 of his rst 14 passes, with a 57-yard throw to
Kyle Williams that set up Vernon Davis 3-yard
TD on the next play.
Harbaugh rated Kaepernicks debut start as
A-plus-plus.
Whatever coach says goes, running back
Frank Gore said of who might be handing him
the ball. Weve got two great quarterbacks on
the team. Were happy that weve got two good
quarterbacks. Whoever coach names, thats who
weve got to roll with. ... Im happy weve got
two quarterbacks who can play and lead our
team to victory. Thats what you want.
Smith said he and Kaepernick have spoken
frequently in recent days, and both want whats
best for the team moving forward.
Weve always been on each others side,
weve always supported each other, Kaepernick
said. Were going to keep doing that.
When asked if he has earned another start, he
said that was up to Harbaugh.
The New Orleans defense is preparing for
both. The Saints were impressed by
Kaepernicks prime-time performance, but also
have painful memories of Smiths sensational
night in a 36-32 victory against favored New
Orleans in the NFC divisional playoffs last
January.
Theres not much of a difference between
him and Alex Smith, Saints safety Malcolm
Jenkins said. Theyre both very athletic, they
throw the ball. We saw Kaepernick has a big
arm. He can make all the throws. And the
offense ran the same with him. So we can pre-
pare the same for both of them.
Competing for his job is nothing new for the
28-year-old Smith, the 2005 No. 1 overall draft
pick.
Smith took over as 49ers starter midway
through 2009 and was entrenched as the No. 1
heading into 2010. After separating his non-
throwing left shoulder at Carolina, former coach
Mike Singletary turned to 2006 Heisman
Trophy winner Troy Smith for the next ve
games even after Alex Smith was healthy
again. Troy Smith went 3-2, then it was Alex
Smiths turn again for two games, including a
commanding win over eventual 2010 West
champion Seattle.

How did Grinnells Jack Taylor
wind up with 138 points in a game?
Well, he did miss 56 shots, more
than he made. And he didnt play for
four minutes.
Otherwise he would have scored
even more.
As it was, Taylor shattered the
NCAA scoring record by 25 points
Tuesday night in the Pioneers 179-
104 victory over
Faith Baptist
Bible in
Grinnell, Iowa.
Taylor hoisted
a mind-boggling
108 shots, one
every 20 sec-
onds. Layups,
fadeaways and
3-pointers (27
of those) were
all working in a display that had the
NBAs basketball royalty buzzing a
day later, from Kobe Bryant and
Kevin Durant to Carmelo Anthony
and LeBron James.
Its like a video game, Anthony
said. How can you shoot 108
times?
Its unbelievable, honestly,
James said. Theres two games that
I would love to see: One was Wilt,
when he had 100, and this kid, I
want to see him, too. Sir Jack.
Wilt Chamberlins record of 100
points scored in 1962 still stands as
the NBA mark. Taylor was the third
player in NCAA basketball with at
least 100 points, but his perform-
ance was the most prolic.
Taylor himself was still trying to
catch his breath Wednesday.
Honestly, its still not settling in.
It was hard to sleep, Taylor told
The Associated Press after appear-
ing on Good Morning America
and the Today show.
Understandably so. Taylor is just
a 5-foot-10, 170-pound sophomore
from Black River Falls, Wis. How
did he score more points than any-
one in college history?
Well, he had 58 at halftime. And
then he scored 30 more in the rst
nine minutes of the second half,
draining seven straight 3s at one
point.
The Division III record was the
rst to fall, as Taylor reached 91
points on a 25-footer from the left
wing with 11:14 to go. He cracked
100 on a layup less than three min-
utes later, and with 4:42 to go he
drained yet another 3 to pass the
NCAA record of 113 set by Rio
Grandes Bevo Francis against
Hillsdale in 1954.
In 1953, Francis had 116 against
Ashland Junior College but Frank
Selvy is the only other player to
reach triple figures, scoring 100
points for Division I Furman against
Newberry in 1954. The previous
Grinnell record was 89 by Grifn
Lentsch last Nov. 19 against
Principia.
Taylor made 27 of his 71 3-point
attempts and was 52 of 108 overall.
He had a hot hand, sure, but he plays
in a system designed to reward high-
volume shooting.
Grinnells goal is to shoot within
12 seconds of getting the ball, some-
thing borrowed in part from the
breakneck system Paul Westhead
installed at Loyola Marymount in
the 1980s. The 3 is the shot of
choice in fact, every player must
shoot 100 3s every day in practice
and the four guys who dont
shoot crash the boards. The Pioneers
also press relentlessly on defense,
hoping to force a turnover or a quick
shot so they can get back to scoring
more points.
The style demands fresh legs, and
the Pioneers typically substitute
every 60 seconds or so.
Its just something completely
different than you face any other
time you play, said Brian Fincham,
the coach at Faith Baptist Bible, a
school in nearby Ankeny, Iowa, with
fewer than 300 students. If theyve
got a little bit of ability on you, its
tough to keep up.
When coach Dave Arseneault
landed at Grinnell 24 years ago, he
inherited a program that went from
1965 until 1994 without a winning
season. Because of their high aca-
demic standards and rural location
50 miles east of Des Moines, win-
ning basketball had simply eluded
the Pioneers for decades.

WORLD
By Josef Federman and Karin Laub
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip A cease-re
agreement between Israel and the Gaza Strips
Hamas rulers took effect Wednesday night,
bringing an end to eight days of the ercest
ghting in years and possibly signaling a new
era of relations between the bitter enemies.
The Egyptian-sponsored deal delivered key
achievements for all involved. It promised to
halt years of Palestinian rocket attacks on
southern Israel and ease border closings that
have stied Gazas economy, and it afrmed
the emergence of Egypts new Islamist gov-
ernment as a key player in a changing region.
But vague language in the agreement and
deep hostility between the combatants made
it far from certain that the bloodshed would
end.
News of the truce, announced in Cairo and
reached after furious diplomacy that drew in
U.S., U.N., European and regional diplomats,
set off ecstatic celebrations in Gaza, where
thousands poured into the streets, ring guns
into the air, honking horns and waving
Palestinian, Hamas and Egyptian ags.
In Israel, small demonstrations were held in
communities that were struck by rockets.
Protesters said the military should have hit
Hamas harder and some held signs demand-
ing security and denouncing agreements
with terrorists.
Leaders on both sides used tough language
as they prepared to engage in indirect negoti-
ations on a future border arrangement through
Egyptian mediators.
I know there are citizens that expected a
wider military operation and it could be that it
will be needed. But at this time the right thing
of the state of Israel is to take this opportuni-
ty to reach a continuous cease-re, Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
At a news conference in Cairo, the top
Hamas leader in exile, Khaled Mashaal,
claimed victory, saying the Israelis failed in
their adventure and that Israel is inevitably
destined for defeat.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton called it a critical moment for the
region.
Egypts new government is assuming the
responsibility and leadership that has long
made this country a cornerstone of regional
stability and peace, Clinton said.
Israel launched its military offensive in
Gaza on Nov. 14 in to halt months of renewed
rocket re from Gaza. In a rst salvo, it assas-
sinated the Hamas military chief, then bom-
barded more than 1,500 targets in eight days
of airstrikes and artillery attacks. Palestinian
militants led by Hamas showered Israel with
more than 1,500 rockets, including longer-
range weapons that reached as far as
Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
The ghting killed 161 Palestinians, includ-
ing 71 civilians, and forced hundreds of thou-
sands of people on both sides of the border to
remain huddled indoors. Five Israelis were
killed. It was the worst bloodshed since an
Israeli invasion of Gaza four years ago that
left hundreds dead.
Cease-fire begins between Israel and Hamas
By Hamza Hendawi
CAIRO The Gaza cease-fire deal
reached Thursday marks a startling trajectory
for Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi: an
Islamist leader who refuses to talk to Israelis
or even say the countrys name mediated for it
and nally turned himself into Israels de
facto protector.
The accord inserts Egypt to an unprece-
dented degree into the conict between Israel
and Hamas, establishing it as the arbiter
ensuring that militant rocket re into Israel
stops and that Israel allows the opening of the
long-blockaded Gaza Strip and stops its own
attacks against Hamas.
In return, Morsi emerged as a major region-
al player. He won the trust
of the United States and
Israel, which once worried
over the rise of an Islamist
leader in Egypt but
throughout the week-long
Gaza crisis saw him as the
gure most able to deliver
a deal with Gazas Hamas
rulers.
I want to thank
President Morsi for his
personal leadership to de-escalate the situa-
tion in Gaza and end the violence, U.S.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton,
who met Morsi Thursday, said at a Cairo press
conference with Egypts foreign minister
announcing the accord.
This is a critical
moment for the region.
Egypts new government
is assuming the responsi-
bility and leadership that
has long made this coun-
try a cornerstone of
regional stability and
peace, she said.
After Israel launched its
assault on Gaza a week
ago, aimed at stopping militant rocket re,
Morsis palace in a Cairo suburb became the
Middle Easts diplomacy central.
He held talks with Turkeys prime minister
and the emir of Qatar, Germanys foreign
minister and a host of top Arab ofcials to get
them behind his mediation. An Israeli envoy
flew secretly into Cairo for talks with
Egyptian security ofcials, though Morsi did
not meet or speak directly with any Israelis.
Throughout it all, Morsi and his aides sided
openly with Hamas, accusing Israel of start-
ing the assault and condemning its bombard-
ment, which has killed more than 140
Palestinians. Five Israelis have been killed by
Hamas rocket re during the battle.
Morsi hails from the fundamentalist
Muslim Brotherhood, Egypts most powerful
political group and Hamas own parent organ-
ization. Brotherhood leaders, including
Morsi, refuse to speak to Israeli ofcials.
Morsi hasnt even said the name of the coun-
try publicly since he was inaugurated in late
June, though he has referred to its people as
Israelis.

With winter approaching, most of us antici-
pate the psychological hardships of the cold
season: more darkness, more time cooped up
indoors and precious few signs of herbaceous
life to lift our spirits. With a little bit of effort,
though, you can make almost any indoor space
into a habitat for interesting greenery and
owers.
I live in an old home. It was built in 1820
using local materials four decades before
Abraham Lincoln was elected president and a
century and a half before modern insulation
and high R-value windows came along.
Over the years my wife and I have done lots
of remodeling projects to improve the place.
During one of them, we removed the old
stand-up iron radiators from the house and
installed them in an old building on our prop-
erty that we renovated into an ofce. The
small building, once a general store, is
perched on the edge of a stream and sits atop
a foundation of large hand-hewn granite
blocks.
With the addition of the radiators in the
building's basement and baseboard radiators in
the ofce, the entire space is warm and dry all
winter long, with the added advantage of
warm ofce oors on even the coldest of days.
As much as I enjoy my cozy ofce, Mugsy,
our French bulldog, and Harpo the parrot
appreciate it even more. It's their favorite spot
on earth.
The moderate temperature has also created
the perfect growing conditions for an easy to
care for plant that is almost always in bloom:
the Cape primrose, or streptocarpus.
Native to Africa, streptocarpus are in the
same family as gloxineas but are much easier
to care for.
They pro-
duce abun-
d a n t
amounts of
o p e n -
f a c e d ,
t u b u l a r
owers on
u p r i g h t
wiry stems. The owers are available in a wide
range of colors ranging from white to deep
dark purple, pink, red and almost every color
in between. I became enamored with these
plants during a trip to the famous Chelsea
ower show in London many years ago, and
have been growing them ever since.
Streps require similar growing conditions to
African violets. They like bright light but not
direct sun, prefer well drained soil and average
room temperature. In their native habitat, they
grow along stream banks and on fallen trees
where there is even moisture.
These cheerful plants are perfect for the
ofce environment, and will do particularly
well under uorescent lights, especially grow
lights, provided the light source is not too far
from the plant.
I grow mine in north-facing windows, and
they bloom year-round.
Streps should be repotted once or twice a
year to encourage new leaf growth (and in turn
new owers). Average potting soil is ne for
streptocarpus, but be sure it is well draining.
When in doubt add extra perlite to the mix.
Fertilize regularly with a balanced water-solu-
ble fertilizer. African violet food work well.
I would much rather be out in the garden
than inside at my desk, but on those days I
can't it is nice to have a plant or two near by to
help keep my thumb green.
Key to sanity during winter: Easy-to-care-for flowers
Streptocarpus are easy to grow indoors and come in many colorful varieties,making them the
perfect oral pick-me-up during winter.

The cornucopia, that symbol of abundance
and the harvest, has graced the
Thanskgiving table or sideboard for genera-
tions. While the original version, in ancient
Greece, was a goats horn, the American
cornucopia is typically a horn-shaped wick-
er basket filled with a colorful array of fall
vegetables and fruit.
With a little shopping and some creative
time set aside, its easy to update the tradi-
tional cornucopia without diminishing its
sense of plenty and celebration.
Instead of the usual variety of produce,
consider a group of similarly hued fruits,
vegetables and plant material. A coordi-
nating vessel adds style.
For instance, West Elm has an ivory
cast-terracotta cornucopia that would
look lovely filled with cream- and
caramel-colored goodies. Think
wheat sheaves, golden apples,
pears and mini white pumpkins
for a display thats sophisticat-
ed yet still warm and homey.
(www.westelm.com, $39)
Pottery Barn has a selec-
tion of realistic-
looking faux
p u m p k i n s ,
gourds, dried
artichokes and
figs which can be
reused each year. You
could mix them or use
multiples of just one.
(www.potterybarn.com, $14.50 and up).
Consider incorporating a few pheasant
feathers and, to amp up the flair,
some copper or bronze glitter.
Martha Stewarts craft editors
suggest making mini cornu-
copias out of chair caning, or
larger ones for door decor.
The small ones, stuffed
with tissue and a
handful of nuts, make clever party favors.
The big versions, filled with pear branches,
seeded eucalyptus and dried flowers, would
look great right through to winters holiday
season. (www.marthastewart.com)
Craft suppliers stock grapevine horn-
shaped baskets; theyre available in sizes
from 12 to 48 inches (www.brena.com, $22
to $263.30), and even mini place-card or
table-favor sizes. (www.factorydi-
rectcraft.com, $1.49)
You can create your own horn-
shaped receptacle out of all sorts
of materials. Artist Natalie
Raevsky has instructions on
her blog to make one out
o f
papier mache, lined with burlap and
wrapped with raffia.
(www.nraevsky.blogspot.com)
Or make a mold by sanding a foam cone
into the shape of a horn, wrapping it with
jute and painting it with glue. When the glue
dries, pull out the foam and fill. (www.holi-
day-crafts-and-creations.com)
Better Homes and Gardens November
issue has a chic, easy twist on the cornu-
copia: Wrap double layers of shimmery
gold-green floral mesh into a loose horn
shape and finish with a silky ribbon.
(www.bhg.com) Gilded or glitter-dusted
nuts and fruit would look spectacular among
some candles, or go with a simple cluster of
dried hydrangea.
For a minimalist, rustic or edgier look,
form some hardware-store aluminum
chicken wire into the horn and
fill with pine cones.

Tweaking the traditional cornucopia

With a nearly 90-year-old house in
Rye, N.Y., Melanie Cadenhead spends a
large part of every winter being cold.
The temperature inside usually drops
right around Thanksgiving, and
Cadenhead pulls out her sweaters.
Having shelled out about $1,000 a

any higher this year.
Ill just sleep in one of those Daniel
Boone hats with the ear aps, she says.
Winter is not my friend.
Modern living does not have to be that
hard, energy efciency experts say.
They cite a host of simple ways to cut
energy consumption without sacricing
comfort or lifestyle. From sealing air
leaks to unplugging cell-phone chargers,
these recommended improvements dont
require big-ticket purchases like win-
dows or air or heating systems (although
those may be necessary in some cases).
Many energy-saving moves are so
inexpensive, relatively speaking, that
they quickly pay for themselves.
Unless youre living in an ultra-mod-
ern, ultra-energy-efficient home, the
only way to reign in those utility bills is
to rst show your home a little love.
Sealing air leaks primarily gaps in
construction and upgrading insula-
tion are the No. 1 ways to nip energy
waste, says Scott Stefan, a home energy
auditor for Elmsford, N.Y.-based
BrightHome Energy Solutions.
American homes are built for cheap
energy and we are not in the cheap ener-
gy era anymore, he says. Almost every
home you go into is badly insulated and
leaks a lot of air.
Air leaks, often found around founda-
tions, pipes, recessed lights and chim-
neys, can be easily identied and sealed;
many states have programs that contract
with people like Stefan to help you nd
the source of the problems.

for proper ventilation) wont really do the job if
your insulation has stopped doing its job,
Stefan says. Warm air can escape right through
insulation thats been in place for 25 years or
more.
We all recognize that we have to replace our
cars and computers, and people love to do
that, he says. But most people have really old
insulation and its really beaten down and
its not doing them any good.
The cost of sealing leaks or updating insula-
tion varies greatly depending on where you live
and the complexity of the job. But the energy
you save from doing this work will more than
cover the cost of the work itself, Stefan says.
Such steps tend to be considerably cheaper
than, for instance, replacing leaky windows,
another energy-saving step. That could run into
the tens of thousands of dollars although it
often could be avoided simply by hanging
storm windows in the winter, experts say.
Many state-run energy savings programs
offer homeowners low-interest loans to help
upgrade energy efciency, Stefan says.
Another way to cut energy consumption is to
unplug all those energy vampires that suck
up electricity even when theyre not being used,
says Ken Collier, editor-in-chief at The Family
Handyman.
A typical American home has 40 devices,
including TVs, cellphone chargers and comput-
ers, that continually draw power even when
they seem to be turned off, according to the
Environmental Protection Agency. U.S. house-
holds spend approximately $100 per year
roughly 8 percent of household electricity costs
to power such devices while not in use.
Collier says the expense could be closer to $70
a month.
The easiest way to eliminate those costs is to
plug your devices into power strips and turn
those power strips off when you wrap things up
for the day, he says. Another good option is a
product called Smart Strip, which looks like a
regular power strip but automatically turns off
equipment that it senses is not being used.

In the hands of a paper artist, a humble
sheet can be transformed by a few clever folds
or cuts into a creature, a structure, even an
elaborate diorama.
That alchemy is at the heart of papercraft-
ing, and the nished projects make interest-
ing, unusual home decor.
Depending on your talent level, you can
choose a simple-to-assemble kit, print out
instructions from a paper artist, or buy a n-
ished piece of custom artwork. A hobby for
some, a collecting interest for others, paper-
craft can be a fascinating avenue of creative
expression.
Dallas-based Michael Reilly and Shane
Selman are former paper industry program-
mers turned designers. Theyre serious about
playing with paper.
Its easily one of our favorite mediums.
Theres just so much variety its exible,
foldable, delicate and structural. Even the
costliest sheets are inexpensive enough to
allow for experimentation. Theres an almost
innite variation before you ever cut a single
line, says Selman.
The pair bought a laser cutter in 2008 and
began experimenting. In 2010, they turned the
hobby into a business. Gustav Eiffels original
design was a great jumping-off point.
The Eiffel Tower started out as a demo
piece, to show investors what we could do,
says Selman. It was the perfect way to
demonstrate the detail and precision that the
laser was capable of, and its unique architec-
ture was perfect for playing with structure.
Most models at the time were complicated
and difcult to assemble. But Reilly began
looking for a better way; a simple tab closure
tested well. The designers now offer the kit in
several color options and two sizes, available
through ArtifactureStudios.com.
A less detailed but equally easy-to-build
Eiffel Tower model is available at Pylones-
usa.com; choose from French magazine,
newsprint or blueprint patterns, or buy a plain
one and decorate it yourself.
Roman Detyna commands an impressive
array of battleships, destroyers and ghter
planes, but hes no threat to national security.
Detyna is an artist in Ronkonkoma, N.Y., who
specializes in model military vehicles made of
paper. Mighty vessels that did battle in the
theaters of World War II are recreated in scale
models the size of a table, a pen or even a
matchbox; assembly takes anywhere from a
couple of days to a year or more.
A technical draftsman, Detyna says his
early models were challenging. The complex
tower bridge of the Takao was really difcult.
At the time, I didnt use much 3D drafting to
help me visualize the shapes, so all the neces-
sary unwrapping was kind of happening in my
imagination before I drew in 2D.
Now drafting on the computer, he sells his
detailed and historically accurate plans for
between $17 and $35; his website,
DigitalNavy.com, also has many free down-
loadable designs. The site has advice on tools
and techniques, and a gallery of nished proj-
ects shared by an international contingent of
fellow modelers.
Less challenging but no less charming are
the Glasgow Tenement models created by
Scottish designers Franki Finch and Beth
Fouracre. Paying homage to a Glaswegian
architectural icon, the kits come with pre-cut
pieces and glue. A grouping of the structures
on a mantel would be a conversation starter.
Won Park, a Honolulu-based designer, has
developed a following for his origami made of
dollar bills, a medium he likes for its strong
texture, pattern and ability to hold folds well.

bills: a Formula One race car; an articulated
koi; even a model of the U.S. Capitol
Building.

You can avoid the silent treatment from your
power tools in the spring by providing some
tender loving care before storing them in the
fall.
Gasoline-powered garden gear isnt guaran-
teed to start when its left idle for extended
periods of time, say 30 days or more. A thor-
ough cleaning is essential.
The rst thing you want to do is take a
blower and clean everything off the leaves
and debris that have built up over the growing
season, said Mike Ballou, a product manager
with John Deere. This is the time for mainte-
nance.
Dont delay taking equipment to a dealer if
you dont have the time or inclination to do the
work yourself, Ballou said. Not only will that
extend its working life but it also will save you
time and money.
What a lot of dealers do is have service
specials in the wintertime to attract cus-
tomers, he said. Otherwise, theres a two-
week backup in the spring because everyone
tends to put things off.
Some steps you can take now to ensure your
tools are ready when the weather warms up
again:
Change the oil and spark plugs in gasoline-
powered equipment before storing it away.
Dump leftover fuel into your vehicles.
The shelf life for gasoline generally is 30 to
60 days, Ballou said. Run your equipment
until all the old fuel is gone, and then add
fresh along with some fuel stabilizer. Let
that run five minutes or so, giving it enough
time to cycle through the carburetor. That
prevents sludge from forming and gum-
ming up the fuel system.
Disconnect the batteries. Every two
months, put them on a charger and charge
them back to full, Ballou said. At that point,
youve done what you need to ensure theyll
start again in the spring.
Here are some additional tips to ease sea-
sonal garden chores:
Buy an extra set of lawnmower blades and
another chain for your chainsaw. That way
youll always have one on hand while the dull
blades are being balanced and sharpened,
Ballou said.
Clean or replace air lters to aid engine
combustion.
Store your equipment and fuel in a clean,
dry place, said Randy Scully, national service
manager for STIHL Inc., a manufacturer of
chainsaws and other handheld equipment.
That helps prevent rust and corrosion.
Lubricate and tighten moving parts. That
includes wheel bearings and throttle cables.
Tillers, mowers, string-cutters and chain saws
take terrible beatings and tend to loosen up
over time. Anything thats not quite right or
broken, get it repaired, Scully said. Clean
away oil thats dripped onto handles or work-
ing surfaces for safety.
Get to know your product instruction man-
ual, Scully said. It has complete listings of
things in there about what should be checked
and how often.
John Deere, STIHL and many other manu-
facturers have begun emphasizing easier-to-
maintain designs for do-it-yourself equipment
operators.
For example, no tools are needed for
changing the oil in our newer garden tractors,
Ballou said. Were trying to make things sim-
ple to extend their working life.
Nows the time to get power tools ready for spring
A hobby for some, a collecting interest for others, papercraft can be a fascinating avenue of
creative expression.

likes to keep it simple.
She and her husband enjoy eating crab
cold. They take advantage of the stores
offer to crack the crabs for her. Then, a
loaf of French bread with lots of butter
and a bottle of bubbly make for a perfect
evening.
Its nirvana for me, she said.
Patience Thien, Draegers Cooking
School program coordinator, also likes
to keep it simple but loves adding butter
and garlic.
At Draegers, like most local markets,
sells the crab already cooked, Taggart
pointed out. So, those who dont have
experience can easily give it a go. While
Taggart prefers the crab meat cold,
Abigail Crayne, Draegers Cooking
School managing editor and director of
private events, likes to warm it up a bit.
Shell also put together some melted
butter or some garlic oil to go along with
the meal.
The simplest recipe is normally what
people stick to, she said. For Craynes
family, crab plays a bigger role in cele-
brating Christmas. Its in December that
they use the meat to recreate Chinese
favorites like pot stickers.
Regardless of where one purchases
crab, the ladies encouraged shoppers to
ask questions. Those handling the
seafood are happy to offer suggestions.
CRAB
Serves 4-6
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup red bell pepper, nely diced
1/4 cup yellow bell pepper,nely diced
1 pound crab meat
1 tablespoon at-leaf parsley,chopped
1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and
nely minced (or to taste)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons lemon or lime juice
sea salt and freshly ground black pep-
per
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
In a saut pan, heat 2 tablespoons un-
salted butter over medium heat and
saut bell peppers until softened.Cool
peppers.
In a bowl, stir together peppers, crab,
parsley, jalapeno pepper, mayonnaise
and citrus juice.Season with a pinch of
salt and pepper. Add beaten egg and
1/4 cup bread crumbs; mix until com-
bined and chill 20 minutes.
With a 1/4 cup dry measuring cup,
scoop crab mixture into portions and
pat into a thick cake. Spread remain-
ing bread crumbs on a sheet of
parchment paper and gently press
each crab cake into the breadcrumbs,
turning,to coat evenly.Chill crab cakes,
loosely covered for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large saut pan over medium-high
heat,heat remaining 2 tablespoons of
unsalted butter and olive oil until hot
but not smoking and saut crab cakes
until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
Turn crab cakes carefully and brown
on the other sides. Transfer sauted
crab cakes to a parchment lined baking
sheet. Bake crab cakes for 6 to 10 min-
utes until heated through.

The best crab cakes
1992 total when 81.05 percent of regis-
tered voters participated.
We are pleased that so many people
participated in this important election,
Church said.
Of the total, 32.98 percent of the bal-
lots were cast at precincts, .97 percent
were in early voting and 45.88 percent
were absentee.
The county initially predicted a nal
turnout of 73 percent to 76 percent and
everything the week prior to Election
Day supported the notion voter regis-
tration was less than in 2008 and mail
ballots returned by Nov. 5 were consid-
ered low at 55 percent of those sent out.
But in the nal days before Nov. 6, the
media began saying Obama and Romney
were neck and neck which drew more
voters to cast ballots, Church said.
In comparison, the June primary had
36.5 percent turnout. For presidential
elections, the turnout in 2000 was 77
percent; 2004 had 79 percent and 2008
had 79 percent.
After election night ended with 56.5
percent of the countys 361,486 regis-
tered voters having done so and 73,966
ballots left to count, Churchs ofce still
thought the total would still be less than
the historical average. Instead, it shot up.
The Elections Ofce now moves to its
mandatory 1 percent tally of the votes.
The process begins 8 a.m. Monday, Nov.
26 and lasts about four days to conrm
the election was proper and the results
correct.
It is one of the nal steps in the
accountability of an election, Church
said. Its the part of the election that
gives election officials, citizens and
interested parties full condence in the
nal results.
Once the check is nished, Church can
certify the results by Dec. 4.
The nal gures may have bolstered
county voter turnout but did not change
the outcomes of its campaigns and races.
Individuals wishing to observe the 1
percent tally should call the Elections
Ofce at 312-5222. The count will hap-
pen at the Elections Division, 40 Tower
Road, San Mateo.
ELECTION
assess the current facilities to identify
options to add classrooms or build up.
Its not just space. The conversations will
include what kind of facilities will be
needed. In addition, the district will con-
sider the possible growth to each campus
with and without changing boundaries.
Its not just about facilities. Sequoia
ofcials are also tackling relationships
with the various elementary school dis-
tricts that feed into the high schools.
Currently, one middle school could
have students going to any of the four
comprehensive or charter high schools
within the district. Also, the district
allows for students to apply to other
schools within the district. Districtwide,
700 such requests were made last year
and 500 were granted. Historically, about
a third of the incoming freshman class
aims to make such a transfer.
School assignments can be a difcult
thing in the Sequoia district. Middle
schools or schools who serve students
from kindergarten through eighth grade
can be within the high school boundaries
of multiple schools. In the Redwood City
and Ravenswood City elementary school
districts, some schools are in the bound-
aries of three of the Sequoia schools. One
option would be to keep those groups of
students together in high school, which
could build community and a better
working relationship between the high
school and feeder school. The conversa-
tion isnt aimed at making changes, its a
chance to discuss the idea in the larger
plan of accommodating growing enroll-
ment.
The proposed timeline calls for com-
pleting these tasks by August 2013 with
any changes in boundaries for future stu-
dents to become effective August 2014.
Once complete, Lianides said the district
will have to look at the possible cost for
implementing the plan. There is a small
amount of money available from
Measure J a $165 million bond meas-
ure passed by voters in 2008. If that
money was enough to cover the plan,
Lianides said the district will move for-
ward. If not, then nding a way to create
the changes will be the next item on his
to-do list.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
William J. McPartland
Case Number 122872
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Wiilliam J. McPartland.
A Petition for Probate has been filed by
Frank J. McPartland. in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo.
The Petition for Probate requests that
Frank J. McPartland. be appointed as
personal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
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: Decenber 14, 2012
at 9:00 a.m., Dept. Probate, 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.

Others adjusted their travel schedules to try to
save money, ying on less popular days or to
airports that were a bit farther from their des-
tination.
The weather, along with the economy,
handed setbacks to some. Heavy fog shrouded
Chicago, causing more than 1,600 delays or
cancellations in and out of its two airports and
sending ripples around the nation.
And at New York Citys Penn Station, a
power failure in a switching system halted all
trains for more than an hour at the height of
the evening commute. It caused delays of 90
minutes or more on Amtrak and two of the
nations busiest commuter railroads.
The effects of Superstorm Sandy added to
the hassle for travelers on the East Coast.
Chris McLaughlin, a 22-year-old senior at
Boston College from West Chester, Penn., had
hoped to combine his trip home for
Thanksgiving with a medical school interview
in Philadelphia, but the storm delayed his
interview, so hell have to make an extra trip
home next month. He gured that would cost
him another $200.
It killed me, McLaughlin said of the
nancial impact of the storm, which also left
his parents without power for eight days. I
think we were feeling we could loosen up a
little bit (nancially), but with Sandy and
everything that happened, (people) feel like
they cant.
And its not just family nances that are
tighter. Airlines struggling to save on jet fuel
and other expenses have cut the number of
ights, leading to a jump in airfares. Those
hitting the roads face high gas prices and ris-
ing tolls.
After a couple of years of healthy post-
recession growth, Thanksgiving travel this
year was expected to be up only slightly, 0.7
percent, from last year, according to AAAs
yearly Thanksgiving travel analysis. Among
the 43.6 million Americans expected to jour-
ney 50 miles or more between Wednesday and
Sunday, more were driving and fewer were
ying. Their planned trips were shorter too,
by about 120 miles on average, the travel
organization said.
As car ownership declines among younger
Americans, many of those hitting the road
were jumping onto buses. Intercity bus service
has grown in recent years with curbside com-
panies like Megabus.
At a Greyhound terminal in downtown
Denver, Eileen Lindbuchler, a 32-year-old
massage therapist, hauled her bulky massage
table through the line to board a bus. She had
used her iPhone to coordinate bus schedules
and connecting routes for the 65-mile journey
to visit family in Colorado Springs and
expected the effort to save her money.
I think its going to be a lot cheaper, she
said. I want to see how it works. Ive always
had to travel by car.
Aided by smartphone apps, social media
and other technology, consumers are getting
better at snifng out deals and realize they
need to be exible with dates and even the air-
ports they chose when booking, said Courtney
Scott, a senior editor at Travelocity.
I think people are really becoming smarter,
more creative travelers and shoppers, Scott
said.
Sometimes, though, no amount of creativity
with an airline booking can avoid breaking the
bank for those with large families.
So, Linne Katz and her ve children hit the
road, leaving their home in Haledon, N.J., at 1
a.m. Wednesday in hopes of getting to her
fathers home in Tennessee while the sun was
still up. Driving has downsides, she said.
My oldest keeps having to go the bath-
room. ... I think hes getting carsick, Katz
said, as she stopped to take pictures of her
children under the Virginia Welcomes You
sign at an I-66 rest stop near the Manassas
National Battleeld.
And even with all the alternatives to ying,
some still said they couldnt afford the jour-
ney.
Lisa Appleton, 42, of Sandy Springs, Ga.,
said she lost her job as an accounting manag-
er during the holidays last year. Her new job
at an ice skating rink pays less, and she said
that forced her to skip her usual Thanksgiving
road trip to visit family in northeast Ohio.
This is the rst year that I have not gone in
like ve years, she said. It seems weird to
me.
She planned to spend the holiday at home
with her 23-year-old son, eating and watching
football. After checking airline prices, she
decided theyll also stay in Georgia for
Christmas.
It breaks my heart, but its something
youve got to do, she said. If you dont have
the money, you just you cant do it.
ECONOMY
By Peter James Spielmann
UNITED NATIONS U.S. Ambassador
Susan Rice said Wednesday that her early
account of the attack that killed the U.S.
ambassador to Libya and three other
Americans in Benghazi was based on the ini-
tial intelligence community assessments and
was always subject to review and updates.
She said she respects Republican Sen. John
McCain, who has been critical of her, but
says some of the statements hes made about
me have been unfounded, but I look forward
to having the opportunity at the appropriate
time to discuss all of this with him.
Her comments attributing the attacks to a
mob enraged over an anti-Muslim video post-
ed on YouTube were widely denounced by
Republicans during the U.S. presidential
campaign. The attack came on the 11th
anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror
attacks on the United States, and her critics
said it was clearly a terrorist attack aimed at
the anniversary. U.S. Ambassador Chris
Stevens and three other Americans were
killed.
The focus has fallen on Rice because she is
a longtime White House insider and is
believed to be President Barack Obamas rst
choice to replace Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton, who is not expected to stay on dur-
ing his second term.
Rice told reporters outside the U.N.
Security Council: As a senior U.S. diplomat,
I agreed to a White House request to appear
on the Sunday shows to talk about the full
range of national security issues of the day,
which at that time were primarily and partic-
ularly the protests that were enveloping and
threatening many diplomatic facilities,
American diplomatic facilities around the
world, and Irans nuclear program.
The attack on our facilities in Benghazi
was obviously a signicant piece of this,
Rice said.
Hours before the Benghazi violence, a mob
in Cairo attacked the U.S. Embassy there to
denounce the videos as anti-Islamic blasphe-
my.
When discussing the attack against our
facilities in Benghazi, I relied solely and
squarely on the information provided to me
by the intelligence community, she said.
I made clear that the information was pre-
liminary, and that our investigations would
give us the denitive answers, she added.
Everyone, particularly the intelligence
community, has worked in good faith to pro-
vide the best assessment based on the infor-
mation available.
You know the FBI and the State
Departments Accountability Review Board
are conducting investigations as we speak.
And they will look into all aspects of this
heinous terrorist attack, to provide what will
become the denitive accounting of what
occurred, she said.
