South City appoints
a new councilman
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Planning Commissioner Pradeep
Gupta will serve on the South San
Francisco City Council through
November when a special election
will be held for the remaining two
years of a seat vacated after the
November election.
Thirteen people applied to ll the
vacant seat created when Kevin
Mullin was elected to the Assembly.
Mullin still has nearly three years in
his term. On Monday, the council
held a special meeting to discuss the
appointment. The council previous-
ly had agreed that Gupta would be a
good t but had trouble deciding if
he should be
appointed for
the remainder of
the term or until
November when
a special elec-
tion could be
called. The
council unani-
mously opted
for the latter.
Councilman Rich Garbarino did-
nt want the council to have an open
seat for 11 months which was an
option if an appointment was not
made. Since the council had been
deadlocked previously on the

Celebrating the end of a year can
be a joyous occasion shared by
friends, family and sometimes even
strangers, as people gather near a
clock and impatiently count down
from ve, four, three, two, one,
happy New Years!
Having arrived on a Tuesday,
many people awoke on the rst day
of 2013 with little sleep and much to
do.
Commemorating the new year
with one or more drinks is com-
monplace in our culture, despite
the vengeful consequences of a
hangover. There are several proac-
tive tricks a partygoer can use to
fend off a potential hangover. Its
important to eat a solid meal before
starting to drink, as well as a light
snack before bed if they start to
suspect the makings of a hangover
at hand. Intermittently drinking
water between alcoholic beverages
will also help to avoid some of the

WASHINGTON Racing
against the clock, the White House
reached agreement with congres-
sional Republicans late Monday on
a deal to prevent across-the-board
tax increases and spending cuts to
government programs from taking
effect at midnight, according to
administration and Senate
Democratic ofcials.
These ofcials said a New Years
Eve vote in the Senate to ratify the
deal was possi-
ble later in the
evening, barring
opposition from
m a j o r i t y
Democrats.
There was no
immediate con-
firmation from
aides to the top
Republicans in
Congress, Sen. Mitch McConnell
and House Speaker John Boehner.
Vice President Joseph Biden
headed for the Capitol to brief the
Democratic rank and le.
The ofcials who described the
developments did so on condition of
anonymity, saying they were not
authorized to discuss the details.
Hours earlier, President Barack
Obama said, It appears that an
agreement to prevent this New
Years tax hike is within sight. ...
But its not done, he added of leg-
islation that redeems his campaign
pledge to raise taxes on the wealthy
while sparing the middle class.
Even by the dysfunctional stan-
dards of government-by-gridlock,
the activity at both ends of historic
Pennsylvania Avenue was remark-
able as the White House and
Congress struggled over legislation
to prevent a scal cliff of tax
increases and spending cuts.
As darkness fell on the last day of
the year, Obama, Biden and their
aides were at work in the White
House, and lights burned in the
House and Senate. Democrats com-
plained that Obama had given away
too much in agreeing to limit tax
increases to incomes over $450,000,
far above the $250,000 level he
campaigned on. Yet some
Republicans recoiled at the prospect
of raising taxes at all.
A late dispute over the estate tax
produced allegations of bad faith
from all sides.
Senate Republican leader Mitch
McConnell shepherding final
talks with Biden agreed with
Obama that an overall deal was
near. In remarks on the Senate oor,
he suggested Congress move quick-
ly to pass tax legislation and con-

Kardashian, West feel
blessed over baby news
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. Kim
Kardashian and Kanye West are feeling
lucky about their rst child together.
Its true, the 32-year-old reality TV
star said in a statement on her site
Monday. Kanye and I are expecting a
baby. We feel so blessed and lucky and
wish that in addition to both of our fami-
lies, his mom and my dad could be here
to celebrate this special time with us.
Kardashians father, Robert
Kardashian, died in 2003. Wests mother,
Donda West, died in 2007.
Kardashian added in the blog post that
she was looking forward to great new
beginnings in 2013 and to starting a fam-
ily.
The 35-year-old rapper revealed to a
crowd of more than 5,000 in song form at
a concert Sunday that his girlfriend is
pregnant. Kardashian was in the crowd at
Revel Resorts Ovation Hall with her
mother, Kris Jenner, and Wests mentor
and best friend, Jay-Z.
The news instantly went viral online,
with thousands posting and commenting
on the expecting couple.
Most of the Kardashian clan tweeted
about the news, including Kims sisters.
Kourtney Kardashian wrote: Another
angel to welcome to our family.
Overwhelmed with excitement!
West told concertgoers to congratulate
his baby mom and that this was the
most amazing
thing.
Representatives for
West and Kardashian
didnt immediately
respond to emails
about the pregnancy.
The rapper and
reality TV star went
public with their rela-
tionship in March.
Kardashian mar-
ried NBA player Kris
Humphries in August
2011 and their
divorce is not nal-
ized.
Wests Sunday-
night show was his
third consecutive per-
formance at Revel.
He took the stage for
nearly two hours, performing hits like
Good Life, Jesus Walks and Clique
in an all-white ensemble with two band-
mates.
Kardashian is expected to spend New
Years Eve at public appearance at a Las
Vegas nightclub.
Vultures pick at visitors
cars in Florida Everglades
HOMESTEAD, Fla. Visitors to
parts of Everglades National Park are get-
ting tarps and bungee cords to make their
vehicles less delectable to vultures.
Migrating vultures have developed a
habit of ripping off windshield wipers,
sunroof seals, and other rubber and vinyl
vehicle parts. Visitors to the parks
Homestead and Flamingo entrances are
loaned anti-vulture kits to protect their
vehicles.
Park wildlife biologist Skip Snow tells
The Miami Herald that the vultures are
migrating as normal. Its just not clear
why the birds are picking at parked cars
and trucks. Park employees have tried to
scare away the vultures, but nothing has
worked.
Park Superintendent Dan Kimball says
complaints about the vultures have
declined since employees began distribut-
ing the tarps and bungee cords last year.
Couple says pet chicken

MILWAUKEE A Wisconsin couple

Susan Cotey, 52, with loud clucking from
its cage in the basement two oors below
about 6:15 a.m. Thursday. The couples
two cats also were running around the
main oor.
Murawska said he had been half awake
but didnt know about the re because the
smoke alarms hadnt gone off. He real-
ized something was wrong when his wife
got up.
The chicken gets quite vocal when she
gets excited, he said.

Hey Ethan, call it a comeback.
After slipping out of the top 10 last
year, the name Ethan is again tops for
little boys in San Mateo County. For
newborn girls, Olivia holds the crown,
beating out Isabella which is in second
place a second year in a row after a
seven-year hold on the top spot.
As in past years, the most popular names in
San Mateo County tend to be familiar.
Often the only differences from year to
year are not the top 10 names but the
order in which they fall. The rank-
ings are based on 2,778 male
births and 2,562 female births in
San Mateo County between Jan.
1, 2012 and Dec. 17, 2012,
according to statistics collect-
ed by the County Clerks
Ofce.
The ofce did not have a
final tally for the last
weeks of 2012 but addi-
tional numbers
would probably
not change the
rankings for
first place Olivia, for
example, garnered 36 names while second-
place Isabella had 28. Sophia followed
with 27 names and Emily had 22.
The boys were also fairly close
with Ethan having 32 namesakes
followed with a 28-count tie for
Alexander and Andrew. Lucas
had 27 and Daniel 26.
But dont think every parent
is picking out the exact same
name for their bouncing bun-
dles of joy. The majority
opted for names falling
into the other cate-
gory. Of the boys
born, 2,524 received
a name other than
those in the top 10
and 2,341 girls
were also given less
popular names.
The top names for
boys and their counts for
2012 are:
Ethan, 32
Alexander, 28
Andrew, 28
Lucas, 27
Daniel,
26
Jacob, 24
Benjamin, 23
Christopher, 23
Dylan, 22
Anthony, 21
Last years top names were Lucas,
Alexander and Jacob. The 2011 list also
included Matthew, Nathan, Jackson, Owen
and William.
The top names for girls and their counts for
2012 are:
Olivia, 36
Isabella, 28
Sophia, 27
Emily, 22
Maya, 19,
Amelia, 18
Ella, 18,
Emma, 18
Samantha, 18
Mia, 17
Last years top names were Sophia, Isabella
and Mia. The 2011 list also included Audrey,
Lily, Natalie and Abigail.
The Social Security Administration has yet
to crunch its names for 2012 nationwide but
in 2011 Jacob and Sophia were the top
names.

Homeowner must maintain property as primary residence and remain current on
property taxes and insurance
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Hillsborough and its City Council are
being sued by a telephone company after its
recent passage of an urgency ordinance that
puts a temporary moratorium on the issuance
of wireless communications facility per-
mits, according to a claim filed in San
Mateo County Superior Court by Newpath
Networks and Crown Castle West.
Crown submitted four applications to the
city in June to construct telecommunications
and wireless broadband infrastructure in the
citys public right-of-way but was told by
city staff that the applications were incom-
plete, according to the claim.
Crown contends city staff declared the
applications incomplete to give the council
time to pass the urgency ordinance, accord-
ing to the claim.
The moratorium passed Sept. 10 and is in
effect until Aug. 9, 2013.
Crowns project seeks 19 installations in
Hillsborough but the company only submit-
ted applications for four of the installations,
said Assistant City Attorney Mark Hudak.
The city wants to consider the project as a
whole and Crown is challenging the determi-
nation that the application is incomplete,
Hudak said.
Crown seeks to install, maintain and oper-
ate telephone facilities specifically, a dis-
tributed antenna system, with associated
fiber optic cables, antenna nodes, fiber
repeaters and other facilities within
Hillsboroughs public right-of-way, accord-
ing to the claim.
The moratorium violates state law, accord-
ing to the claim.
The matter of the installation of telecom-
munications facilities in the [public right-of-
way] by telephone corporations, including ...
Crown, is unequivocally a matter of
statewide not municipal concern,
according to the claim.
Since Crown feels the ordinance is a viola-
tion of state law, it is seeking relief from the
court to determine it has the right to access
the citys public right-of-way under state law.
According to the claim, local governments
are limited only to controlling the time, place
and manner of access to the public right-of-
way and nothing more.
We recognize people want to have access
to wireless communication but we want to
maintain aesthetic control and make sure the
installations are built safely, Hudak said.
Feds probe Stanford
dams effects on rare fish
Federal regulators are investigating whether
Stanford Universitys operation of a San
Mateo County dam is illegally harming threat-
ened steelhead trout on Californias central
coast.
The National Marine Fisheries Service is
probing the universitys operation of
Searsville Dam.
The central coast population of steelhead
which live part of their lives in the ocean and
part in freshwater creeks is a threatened
species under the Endangered Species Act.
Environmentalists argue the 65-foot-tall
dam blocks the sh from accessing upstream
habitat on San Francisquito Creek.
Stanford spokeswoman Lisa Lapin says the
school is already in the midst of a two-year
study meant to address concerns over the
dams effects on a number of threatened and
endangered species that live in the area.
Teen killed, another
wounded in Oakland shooting
Oakland police are looking for a gunman
who shot to death a 15-year-old girl and
wounded a 14-year-old boy at a housing com-
plex.
Gunre erupted Sunday afternoon at the
439-unit Lion Creek Crossings complex.
The girl died at the scene. The boy is at
Highland Hospital with non-life-threatening
wounds.
The gunman is described as a 13- to 16-
year-old boy.
A teen boy was shot to death at the east
Oakland complex in July.
Three found dead in
apartment blaze; three injured
A couple and their granddaughter were
killed and three others were injured includ-
ing a police ofcer credited with saving at
least one person in a late-night re at a
Northern California apartment complex,
authorities said Sunday.
The ofcer and reghters called to the
complex shortly after 11 p.m. Saturday found
people trapped in an apartment on the second
floor of the building, San Jose Fire
Department Capt. Mary Gutierrez said.
The police ofcer, who has not been named,
entered the burning apartment and pulled at
least one person to safety, Gutierrez said.
He was one of the rst on the scene,
Gutierrez said. He had a re extinguisher,
entered the burning apartment and performed
at least one rescue. He got somebody out of
that burning apartment.
After reghters put the re out, the bodies
of a man, a woman and a child were recov-
ered, Gutierrez said.
A woman who escaped the re said she lost
her parents, Bulmaro and Mariana
Maldonado, and 4-year-old daughter Kyra in
the blaze.
I just woke up, and the room was on re,
Cecilia Maldonado said.

PENDLETON, Ore. Authorities say it
may be a month or more before investigators
and prosecutors decide whether to le charges
in the crash of a tour bus in Eastern Oregon
that killed nine people.
At a news conference Monday, State Police
Lt. Gregg Hastings said investigators dont
know how fast the bus was going, but there
were icy spots on Interstate 84 through the
Blue Mountains.
Hastings says 49 people, most of them
Koreans, were on the bus that hit a concrete
barrier, veered across both westbound lanes,
went through a guardrail and plunged 200 feet
down a bank. Hastings said authorities are
working with the South Korean consulate to
identify victims.
Some survivors have been released from
regional hospitals, and a few are in serious or
critical condition. Their ages range from 7 to
74.
Pinnacles National Park
designation passes Senate
SOLEDAD A bill designating central
Californias Pinnacles National Monument a
national park is awaiting President Barack
Obamas signature.
The Pinnacles National Park Act, designed to
raise the prole of the sanctuarys towering rock
formations and caves, was passed by the Senate
during a rare Sunday session. The House
approved it in July.
President Theodore Roosevelt designated the
26,000-acre Pinnacles site a national monument
in 1908. Sen. Barbara Boxer sponsored the bill
with fellow California Democratic Sen. Dianne
Feinstein.
Boxer said that national park designation will
give the site near Soledad the recognition it
deserves as well as boost tourism.
Alcohol sales enforcers
get heavy-duty protection
SACRAMENTO The state agency that
regulates alcohol sales purchased more than
$70,000 worth of gas masks and bullet-resistant
helmets for its ofcers, even though the nature
of their work rarely exposes them to gunre, a
newspaper reported Monday.
Nearly three-quarters of the arrests by
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control
agents from July 2010 to March 2012 involved
selling or giving alcoholic beverages to minors.
The agency regulates alcohol sales through
undercover stings at bars, restaurants and retail-
ers. When the nature of the work puts them in
the line of re, the agents almost always call
police, the Bee said.

on bumper cars, the California Supreme Court
ruled in an opinion published Monday.
The high court said people who ride bumper
cars under normal conditions automatically
assume some risk just as people who play
football or other sports and cannot sue after
being injured.
A small degree of risk inevitably accompa-
nies the thrill of speeding through curves and
loops, defying gravity or, in bumper cars,
engaging in the mock violence of low-speed
collisions, Associate Justice Kathryn Werdegar
wrote. Those who voluntarily join in these
activities also voluntarily take on their minor
inherent risks.

WASHINGTON Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton developed a blood clot in her
head but did not suffer a stroke or neurological
damage, her doctors said Monday. They say
they are condent that she will make a full
recovery.
In a statement that revealed the location of the
clot, Clintons doctors said it is in the vein in the
space between the brain and the skull behind the
right ear. She is being treated with blood thin-
ners to help dissolve the clot, the doctors said,
and she will be released once the medication
dose has been established.
Clinton, 65, is making excellent progress and
is in good spirits, Dr. Lisa Bardack of the Mount
Kisco Medical Group and Dr. Gigi El-Bayoumi
of George Washington University said in a state-
ment.
Clinton, who was spending a second day at a
New York hospital, developed the clot after suf-
fering a concussion earlier in December. She
had fainted, fallen and struck her head at home
while battling a stomach virus, her spokesman
said. She has not been seen publicly since Dec.
7.
Phillipe Reines, her spokesman, said
her doctors discovered the clot Sunday
while performing a follow-up exam on
the concussion. She was admitted to New
York-Presbyterian Hospital.
Clintons complication certainly isnt the
most common thing to happen after a concus-
sion and is one of the few types of blood clots
in the skull or head that are treated with blood
thinners, said Dr. Larry Goldstein, a neurologist
who is director of Duke Universitys stroke cen-
ter. He is not involved in Clintons care.
The area where Clintons clot developed is a
drainage channel, the equivalent of a big vein
inside the skull its how the blood gets back
to the heart, Goldstein said.
Blood thinners usually are enough to treat the
clot and it should have no long-term conse-
quences if her doctors are saying she has suf-
fered no neurological damage from it, Goldstein
said.
Clinton had planned to step down as secretary
of state at the beginning of President Barack
Obamas second term. Whether she will return
to work before she resigns remained a question.
Democrats are privately if not publicly specu-
lating: How might her illness affect a decision
about running for president in 2016?
After decades in politics, Clinton says she
plans to spend the next year resting. She has
long insisted she had no intention of mounting a
second campaign for the White House four
years from now. But the door is not entirely
closed, and she would almost certainly emerge
as the Democrat to beat if she decided to give in
to calls by Democratic fans and run again.

Dressed in sparkles and superhero outts,
children along with their parents lined up
Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos
Monday morning.
Families were hoping to be part of the annu-
al Noon Years Eve celebration, which sold
out prior to the countdown.
Its been a while since I was at a sold out
New Years event, said San Carlos mom
Holly Lawrence.
It was the Lawrences rst time at the party.
Six-year-old Sabrina, who got quite dressed
up for the occasion, decided to get Disneys
The Little Mermaid painted on her face before
the countdown while 4-year-old Mason, don-
ning Batman garb, decided to keep his face
paint-free.
Many parents get to the event about two
hours before, to really take advantage of the
party before the countdown. Anne Estep of
Hayward had returned to Hiller with her hus-
band and boys for the second year. This year
Ethan, 3-and-a-half, and Jacob, 1-and-a-half,
were a bit more aware of what was going on.
Her older son recalled specic details of last
years event and looked forward to the balloon
drop all year long. The boys were wearing
homemade 2013 crowns to celebrate the occa-
sion.
Preparation for the balloon drop starts well
before the countdown. By 20 minutes before,
all the spots under the balloon hanging are
lled with parents and children claiming their
stake. The rules of sharing balloons one
plastic sphere per kiddo are explained
before the drumroll started.
10, nine, eight, seven, six, ve, four, three,
two, one!! Happy Noon Year! the crowd
exclaimed as colorful balloons fell onto the
hundreds below. The one balloon-per-child
rule was quickly dismissed as youngsters
grabbed for an array of colors to take home
from the mid-day celebration.
It was actually the second countdown in
less than half an hour. Families had a chance
to practice the big event when performer Phil
Ackerly, specializing in magic and comedy,
was attempting to make his self-imposed goal
of getting out of a straight jacket in 3 minutes
or less (It took 2 minutes and 58 seconds).
Children also had an opportunity to partici-
pate in crafts like making planes, jumping in
a bounce house, taking a big slide or explor-
ing a variety of aircrafts on site.
Hundreds of photos were snapped and little
ones were ling out of the museum minutes
after the countdown leaving a few straggling,
colorful balloons behind. Everything wrapped
up in time for parents to put their little ones
down for the last nap of the year.

LONDON Lavish fireworks
displays ushered in 2013 across the
Asia-Pacific region on Tuesday,
and Europe was holding scaled-
back festivities and street parties in
the hope of beginning a new year
that will be kinder to its battered
economies.
Asian cities kicked off New
Years celebrations in style and an
atmosphere of renewed optimism,
despite the fiscal cliff impasse of
spending cuts and tax increases
threatening to reverberate globally
from the United States.
Huge fireworks lit up skylines in
Sydney, Hong Kong and Shanghai,
and even the once-isolated country
of Myanmar joined the countdown
party for the first time in decades.
Celebrations were planned
around the world, including the tra-
ditional crystal ball drop in New
York Citys Times Square, where 1
million people were expected to
cram into the surrounding streets.
In Russia, Moscows iconic Red
Square was filled with spectators
as fireworks exploded near the
Kremlin to welcome in the new
year. Earlier in the day, about 25
people were reportedly arrested in
Moscow for trying to hold an
unsanctioned demonstration. But
President Vladimir Putin gave an
optimistic New Years Eve address,
making no reference to the anti-
government protests that have
occurred in his country in the past
year.
We believe that we can change
the life around us and become bet-
ter ourselves, that we can become
more heedful, compassionate, gra-
cious, Putin said, according to the
ITAR-Tass news agency.
In Australia, a balmy summer
night was split by 7 tons of fire-
works fired from rooftops and
barges in Sydney, many cascading
from the citys Harbor Bridge, in a
$6.9 million pyrotechnic extrava-
ganza billed by organizers as the
worlds largest.
In Myanmar, after nearly five
decades under military regimes
that discouraged or banned big
public gatherings, about 90,000
people experienced the countrys
first New Years Eve countdown in
a field in the largest city of Yangon.
We feel like we are in a differ-
ent world, said Yu Thawda, a uni-
versity student who came with
three of her friends.
Tens of thousands of people
lined Hong Kongs Victoria Harbor
to view a $1.6 million fireworks
display, said to be the biggest ever
in the southern Chinese city.
In North Korea, cannons boomed
at midnight in Pyongyang as peo-
ple crowded the streets of the capi-
tal to watch a fireworks show over
the Taedong River. After being in
mourning a year ago regarding
leader Kim Jong Ils death, North
Koreans celebrated the end of a big
year that included the rise of new
leader Kim Jong Un and the recent
launch of a satellite into space.
Hotels, clubs and other sites in
New Delhi, the Indian capital, can-
celed festivities after the death
Saturday of a young rape victim
touched off days of mourning and
reflection about womens safety.
People were asked to light candles
to express their solidarity with the
victim.
In Indonesia, Jakartas street
party centered on a 7-kilometer (4-
mile) thoroughfare closed to traffic
from nightfall until after midnight.
Workers erected 16 large stages
along the normally clogged, eight-
lane highway through the heart of
the city. Indonesias booming
economy is a rare bright spot amid
global gloom and is bringing pros-
perity or the hope of it to its
people.
In the Philippines, where many
are recovering from devastation
from a recent typhoon, health offi-
cials have hit upon a successful
way to stop revelers from setting
off huge illegal firecrackers that
maim and injure hundreds of
Filipinos each year.
A health official, Eric Tayag,
donned the splashy outfit of South
Korean star PSY and danced to his
YouTube hit Gangnam Style
video while preaching against the
use of illegal firecrackers on TV, in
schools and in public arenas.
World welcomes 2013

WASHINGTON The FBI, CIA and other
intelligence agencies but not the White
House made major changes in talking
points that led to the Obama administrations
confusing explanations of the attack on U.S.
diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya, a
Senate report concluded Monday.
The Homeland Security and Governmental
Affairs Committee report said the White
House was only responsible for a minor
change. Some Republicans had questioned
whether the presidential staff rewrote the talk-
ing points for political reasons.
The committee, headed by independent Sen.
Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and Republican
Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, also said the
director of national intelligence has been
stonewalling the panel in holding back a prom-
ised timeline of the talking point changes.
U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and
three other Americans were killed in the Sept.
11 attack. The U.S. ambassador to the United
Nations, Susan Rice, said she used the talking
points to say in television interviews on Sept.
16 that it may have been a protest that got out
of hand.
Rices incorrect explanation may have cost
her a chance to be nominated as the next sec-
retary of state, as Senate Republicans publicly
said they would not vote to conrm her.
President Barack Obama instead nominated
Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who is
expected to win easy conrmation.
The State Department this month acknowl-
edged major weaknesses in security and errors
in judgment exposed in a scathing independ-
ent report on the assault. Two top State of-
cials appealed to Congress to fully fund
requests to ensure diplomats and embassies
are safe.
Testifying before two congressional com-
mittees, senior State Department officials
acknowledged that serious management and
leadership failures left the diplomatic mission
in Benghazi woefully unprepared for the ter-
rorist attack. The State Department review
boards report led four department ofcials to
resign.

JERUSALEM In a major concession
to Gazas Hamas leaders Monday, Israel
dropped its ve-year ban on construction
materials crossing into the territory and
raised hopes there that rebuilding could
begin following a damaging eight-day
Israeli air campaign.
The easing of restrictions is an out-
growth of the cease-re that ended the
airstrikes and months of daily rocket re
from Gaza at Israel. Contacts mediated
by Egypt to follow up the truce produced
the concession, and Israel promised to
keep easing the lives of Gazas 1.6 mil-
lion residents, as long as Israelis were no
longer targeted by rocket re by Gaza
militants.
How long the new arrangement holds
could serve as a test case for the brittle
truce between the bitter enemies. It also
reects a new power equation, with neigh-
boring Egypt under the control of the
Muslim Brotherhood, the parent group of
Hamas.
Israel, together with Egypt, imposed a
land and naval embargo on Gaza after
Hamas violently overtook the territory in
2007. Although Israel eased the restric-
tions in 2010, building materials such as
cement, gravel and metal rods were still
largely banned because Israel claimed
militants could use them to make fortica-
tions and weapons.
Hundreds of smuggling tunnels under
the Gaza-Egypt border gave Gaza a con-
duit for all manner of goods as well as
weapons, though the blockade remained
intact.
During eight days of violence in
November, the Israeli military said 1,500
rockets were red at Israel, including the
rst from Gaza to strike the Tel Aviv and
Jerusalem areas. The rocket attacks killed
six Israelis and wounded dozens. Israeli
airstrikes killed 169 Palestinians, many of
them militants, and caused considerable
damage. Israel said it targeted Hamas
installations and government buildings.
As part of a cease-re agreement bro-
kered by Egypts new Islamist leaders,
Israel agreed to consider new border
arrangements in return for a complete ces-
sation of rocket re.
Now were talking about a permanent
easing, said Maj. Guy Inbar, a military
spokesman. The longer the calm persists,
the more well weigh additional easing of
restrictions that will benet the private
sector.
Hamas downplayed the move, calling it
inadequate. Gaza economists said it
would take years of shipments to make a
dent in the gap left by the ve years of
blockade.
Inbar said 20 truckloads a day could
enter Gaza, and other concessions may
follow depending on the continuation of
the calm.
Last week, Israel authorized the entry of
60 trucks and buses for the rst time since
the Hamas takeover.
Gaza crossing ofcial Raed Fattouh
conrmed that Israeli agreed to send in 20
trucks of gravel daily, ve days a week.
The Israelis promised to undertake fur-
ther measures to alleviate the difcult eco-
nomic situation in Gaza as a result of the
calm, he said. This move had been
expected as part of the deal.
Gazas leaders demand much more.
Hamas wants Israel to lift the remainder
of the blockade and the lifting of a near-
total ban on exports from the impover-
ished territory. Exports, especially to the
West Bank, the Palestinian territory on the
opposite side of Israel, once formed the
backbone of Gazas economy.
In concession, Israel eases
restrictions on Gaza rebuild

Chavez suffers new complications in cancer fight
CARACAS, Venezuela President Hugo Chavezs new
complications after cancer surgery prompted his closest allies
to call for Venezuelans to pray for him on
Monday, presenting an increasingly bleak
outlook and prompting growing specula-
tion about whether the ailing leader has
much longer to live.
Vice President Nicolas Maduro looked
weary and spoke with a solemn expression as
he announced in a televised address from
Havana on Sunday that Chavez now con-
fronts new complications due to a respira-
tory infection nearly three weeks after his
operation. He described Chavezs condition
as delicate. The streets of Caracas were abuzz on Monday with
talk of Chavezs increasingly tough ght, while the news topped
the front pages of the countrys newspapers.
Hes history now, said Cesar Amaro, a street vendor selling
newspapers and snacks at a kiosk in downtown Caracas. He
motioned to a daily on the rack showing side-by-side photos of
Maduro and National Assembly President Diosdado Cabello,
and said politics will now turn to them.
Amaro said he expects a new election soon to replace
Chavez. For an illness like the one the president has, his days
are numbered now, he said matter-of-factly.
In Bolivar Plaza in downtown Caracas, Chavezs supporters
strummed guitars and read poetry in his honor on New Years
Eve. They sang along with a recording of the president belting
out the national anthem. About 300 people lled a Caracas
church for a Mass to pray for Chavez.
North Korea cracks down on knowledge smugglers
HUNCHUN, China The warning came from Kim Jong Un,
the North Korean ruler who sees his isolated nation, just across
the border from this busy Chinese trading
town, as under siege. The attack, he said,
must be stopped.
We must extend the ght against the
enemys ideological and cultural inltra-
tion, Kim said in an October speech at the
headquarters of his immensely powerful
internal security service. Kim, who became
North Koreas supreme leader after the death
of his father a year ago, called upon his vast
security network to ruthlessly crush those
hostile elements.
Over the past year, Kim has intensied a border crackdown
that has attempted to seal the once-porous 1,420-kilometer (880-
mile) frontier with China, smugglers and analysts say, trying to
hold back the onslaught.
The assault that he fears? Its being waged with cheap televi-
sions rigged to receive foreign broadcasts, and with smuggled
mobile phones that if you can get a Chinese signal along the
border can call the outside world. Very often, it arrives in the
form of wildly popular South Korean soap operas smuggled in
on DVDs or computer thumb drives.

Letters to the editor
By Bill Schwarz
I
f it looks like a tax, sounds like a tax
and acts like a tax, is it a tax? I think
so.
In 2011, Foster City, in a consortium with
other Peninsula cities, entered a contract with
Recology for refuse removal and recycling.
My rates increased by 37 percent. Initially,
there were numerous difculties as Recology
and its employees learned how to work with
their new systems and equipment. Recology
is now operating efciently so that when they
have an issue (spilled trash, etc.) it is an
exception not the rule. We have adapted to
the new collection containers, frequency of
collections and increased fees. I view this as
a good and well-performing service.
Entering 2013, Recology no longer
requires 6 percent of their fees (of the
increase?). This likely reects the successful
conclusion of non-recurring startup costs.
One would expect Foster City to return these
funds to us who pay Recologys fees. We
were told the choices were to reduce user
fees, set the funds aside to defray future rate
increases or contribute these funds to the
citys general operating fund. During its Dec.
17 meeting, our City Council voted to
approve staffs recommendation that the city
take 5 percent by doubling its franchise fee
from 5 percent to 10 percent or $275,000 per
year increase. Remember the 37 percent rate
increase enacted in 2011? Essentially our
City Council is relying on Recology to col-
lect taxes from Foster City residents for use
by Foster City. Councilmen Charlie
Bronitsky and Art Kiesel voted against this
tax. I thank them for this
vote.
It is possible that our
sister cities here on the
Peninsula will have simi-
lar options. If so, pay
attention!
This tax is biased
Staff justied this fran-
chise fee increase citing road maintenance
and personnel costs. After two years of
Recologys trucks running over our streets, it
seems unlikely that required maintenance or
demands on city personnel would increase
going forward. Since Foster City accepted
the 5 percent franchise fee as being adequate
going into 2011, it seems unlikely that future
costs have increased now that the Recology
systems are running smoothly.
More than 60 percent of the residences in
Foster City are in homeowner associations.
HOAs pay for the maintenance of roads
within our complexes. Other residences are
on roads maintained by the city. Accepting
staffs argument that this franchise fee
increase is to maintain our roads and except-
ing commonly used arteries this results in 60
percent of the residences within Foster City
subsidizing the other 40 percent.
If this tax were put to a vote or our resi-
dents, I doubt that those of us in the 60 per-
cent (HOAs) would vote to tax ourselves to
subsidize the remaining 40 percent.
Staff could focus on the
rates charged by Recology
During the Dec. 17 Foster City Council
meeting, Councilman Herb Perez observed
that Foster City residents have among the
lowest fees for recycling and refuse removal
among the group of cities that negotiated
rates effective in 2011. This is supported by
exhibits presented by staff, but in my opinion
misses a key point.
It seems useful to observe that Foster City
is a planned community built on land
reclaimed from the Bay. This has resulted in
planned roads; roads that are, subjectively,
wider than roads in other cities; our land is
at, with no hills; Foster City has received
awards for the quality of its roads; and Foster
City has greater population density than
other Peninsula cities, in large part due to 60
percent of our residents living in HOAs.
Based on their costs, Recology should
offer substantially lower fees to Foster City
relative to our neighbors on the Peninsula.
There was no evidence presented that staff
has logic checked or audited the data present-
ed by the consortium of cities.
Perhaps staff could negotiate lower
prospective rates in addition to their success-
ful effort to capture fees (assess a tax) to mit-
igate our structural decit.

Daily Journal boycott
Editor,
Since I was the rst to react to Dwight
Schwabs appearance in the Daily Journal, I
might as well be the rst to declare that I will
boycott your publication on any Sunday fol-
lowing the publication of his columns. As
much as I disapprove of his crazy view-
points, I welcome his columns, on a very
limited basis. Why not? Theyre always be
good for a laugh.
No more.
Incidentally, Camp David was not estab-
lished by President Eisenhower, as Schwab
asserts in the Dec. 28 edition of the Daily
Journal. It was carved out during the Great
Depression and later established as a presi-
dential retreat by my hero, President Franklin
D. Roosevelt, who decided it should be
tagged, Shangri-La.
Anyway, no more Sunday San Mateo Daily
Journals for this guy.

In light of tragedy,
NRAs stance inappropriate
Editor,
Like mushrooms after the rain, National
Rie Association apologists have sprouted up
on pages of the Daily Journal, warning us
that the Second Amendment is sacred and
offering up the ghost of Charlton Heston to
threaten us with his chilling From my cold
dead hands.
Never mind that Sandy Hook has not n-
ished burying its precious children. Never
mind that heroic teachers have not been laid
to rest. Never mind that the whole country is
still grieving. For the NRA, this is just one
more opportunity to deect blame and intim-
idate citizens who prefer to keep military
weapons off of our streets and out of our
classrooms.
Thank goodness for the courageous few
politicians like U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein
who are speaking out against the gun lobby
and giving voice to the victims of this horri-
fying massacre.

Armed to harm?
Editor,
Among all the nonsense we have heard
coming from the National Rie Association,
they have now managed to reach a new
insanity high by suggesting that teachers
carry arms in schools. It sounds too silly to
ask if these people are nuts; however, no
offense intended toward squirrels favorite
food. Have these crackpots ever considered
where a bullet may end up if it misses or
goes straight through the intended target,
which cant be expected to stand still for a
clean shot like a practice target?
Obviously, the NRA and their gun-manu-
facturing backers have identied the schools
as a new, protable market, while giving the
home-schoolers another argument for keep-
ing their kids out of society. What a heartless
way to exploit a tragedy like the Sandy Hook
massacre.

Foster City Council approves new tax
Hair of the dog
L
ess black and white. If I have one
resolution for 2013, that intention is
seeing the world less in those terms.
Actually, my resolve is really to see me less
in those terms, at least when it comes to
clothing.
The concern is not worrying about having
a closet collection that make mimes envious,
although that undoubtedly beats being con-
fused with a clown any day. I also have no
problem with opting for basic or boring
when the rest of the world is decked out in
sunny yellows and
spring-like greens.
Whoever said that
any other color is
the new black
obviously failed
Crayola time in
childhood. And as
for slimming?
Bright blue and
ashy red will
never hide the
weeks of holiday
indulgences the
same way as a
shirt the dusky shade of night.
But despite the adage about never going
back from black, now may be time. While
charcoal and ebony and onyx are all great at
obscuring inevitable coffee spills and ink
smudges, they are equally unsuccessful at
disguising pet hair. When one has dogs in
the home that shed more white and beige
than black, everything one puts on espe-
cially when that everything is dark hued
begins to look like the inside of an Ugg
boot.
Getting dressed each morning starts off
with the idea of a sleek and appropriate
ensemble. But even the most basic T-shirt or
sweater comes out looking like a sherpa out-
t and the better part of the morning at work
gets spent in front of the computer, not
checking emails but using its bright intensity
to help highlight new strands of fur to pull
off. Coworkers must cluck their tongues as I
routinely de-fuzz during conversations.
Strangers in shopping lines who itch to pull
lint off others probably consider me a lost
cause.
But where does all the hair even come
from? Yes, a dog, obviously. The new years
revelry hasnt left me that obtuse. Yet, how
can there still be so much left for transfer
with the never-ending routine of vacuuming,
lint-rolling and picking up? Short of shaving
the little guys until they resemble hairless
cats, there doesnt seem to be much more
that can be done. Even with that unthinkable
extreme Id likely still nd small beige and
white hairs working their way into the wool
of my coats and scarves.
One solution is the notion of cant beat
them, join them. Instead of continuing the
losing battle against looking unkempt and
unclean, the better strategy might be throw-
ing in the proverbial towel throwing it
directly into the dog bed, that is. Perhaps
covering the entire outt in dog hair will
leave me looking more like a fashion trend-
setter than fashion victim. The mall stores
are lately lled with clothes sporting feath-
ers; why not fur?
But PETA has left fur-wearing of any kind
a dangerous proposition. And just as a leop-
ard cant change is spots, the dogs cant
change their color. With that in mind, the
onus to shift gears is on their owner which
brings me to this years resolution. Goodbye
black. Hello tan, sand and champagne.
Admittedly, past resolutions havent often
made it past February and chances are Ill be
slipping back to dark burgundy and navy
come March. But with a little dogged deter-
mination and new justication for some
shopping sprees 2013 might be the year
the wardrobe lightens up. Consider it a pet
project.

NEW YORK The stock market
shot higher on Monday even as the s-
cal cliff neared. By the time trading
ended, Republicans and Democrats still
hadnt reached a budget compromise
but investors were betting that they
would.
It was a dramatic day on what turned
out to be a strong year for stocks. The
Standard & Poors 500 index rose 13.4
percent for the year, after nishing at
in 2011. It was the indexs best year
since 2009, and it came despite over-
hanging problems like Europes debt
crisis and anemic U.S. growth, bringing
U.S. indexes close to their highs reached
before the 2008 nancial crisis.
Including dividends, the gain for the
S&P 500 was even higher 16 percent.
The close Monday was a high note in
what had been a choppy day for the
market, as choppy as the scal cliff
deal-making that has been yanking it
around. It also marked a turnaround
after ve straight days of cliff-inu-
enced losses. The Dow Jones industrial
average and the Standard & Poors 500
both climbed more than 1 percent. The
Nasdaq composite index rose 2 percent.
Stocks fell at the opening of trading
Monday and struggled for direction
throughout the morning. The indecisive-
ness overlaid a day of dramatic budget
negotiations in Washington, where law-
makers were trying to hammer out a
new budget deal to avert the scal
cliff. That refers to automatic tax
increases and government spending cuts
that will kick in without a budget deal.
Stocks jerked higher at midday fol-
lowing reports that the bare outline of a
deal to avoid the cliff had been knit
together. The gains faded after President
Barack Obama said in the early after-
noon that a compromise was within
sight, but not nalized. Then, in the late
afternoon, the indexes shot higher again.
Congressional Republicans and the
Democratic White House said they had
agreed on some measures, but still had
no nal deal in hand.
At the close of trading, Dow Jones
industrial average was up 166.03 points,
nishing the year at 13,104.14. Thats a
gain of 7.3 percent for the year, its
fourth straight year of gains.
The S&P 500 rose 23.76 to 1,426.19.
The Nasdaq composite climbed 59.20 to
3,019.51. For the year the Nasdaq rose
15.9 percent.
With the scal cliff still closing in,
investors opinions about its potential
impact varied, making its long-term
effect on the market hard to guess.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK It may be a big if, but
assuming Washington lawmakers can get past
the scal cliff, many analysts say that the
outlook for stocks next year is good, as a recov-
ering housing market and an improving jobs
outlook helps the economy maintain a slow,
but steady recovery.
An advance of 10 percent in 2013 would
send the S&P 500 toward, and possibly past, its
record close of 1,565 reached in October 2007.
A mid-year rally in 2012 pushed stocks to
their highest in more than four years. Both the
Standard & Poors 500 and the Dow Jones
industrial average gained in 2012. Those
advances came despite uncertainty about the
outcome of the presidential election and bouts
of turmoil from Europe, where policy makers
nally appear to be getting a grip on the
regions debt crisis.
As you remove little bits of uncertainty,
investors can then once again return to focus-
ing on the fundamentals, says Joseph Tanious,
a global market strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds.
Corporate America is actually doing quite
well.
Although earnings growth of S&P 500 listed
companies dipped as low as 0.8 percent in the
summer, analysts are predicting that it will
rebound to average 9.5 percent for 2013,
according to data from S&P Capital IQ.
Companies have also been hoarding cash. The
amount of cash and cash-equivalents being
held by companies listed in the S&P 500
climbed to an all-time high $1 trillion at the
end of September, 65 percent more than ve
years ago, according to S&P Dow Jones
Indices.
By the time trading ended Monday,
Republicans and Democrats still hadnt
reached a budget compromise but investors
were betting that they would after President
Barack Obama said that a compromise was
within sight, but not nalized. Without a
budget agreement, millions of Americans face
the prospect of higher taxes and the govern-
ment would be forced to slash spending, meas-
ures that would probably push the economy
into recession, economists say.
Assuming a budget deal is reached in a rea-
sonable amount of time, investors will be more
comfortable owning stocks in 2013, allowing
valuations to rise, says Tanious.
Stocks in the S&P 500 index are currently
trading on a price-to-earnings multiple of about
13.5, compared with the average of 17.9 since
1988, according to S&P Capital IQ data. A
lower-than-average ration suggests that stocks
are cheap.
The stock market will also likely face less
drag from the European debt crisis this year,
said Steven Bulko, the chief investment ofcer
at Lombard Odier Investment Managers. While
policy makers in Europe have yet to come up
with a comprehensive solution to the regions
woes, they appear to have a better handle on
the regions problems than they have for quite
some time.
There is still some heavy lifting that needs
to be done in Europe, said Bulko. Now,
though, we are dealing with much more man-
ageable risk than we have had in the past few
years.
Next year may also see an increase in merg-
ers and acquisitions as companies seeks to
make use of the cash on their balance sheets,
says Jarred Kessler, global head of equities at
broker Cantor Fitzgerald.
While the number of M&A deals has gradu-
ally crept higher in the past four years, the dol-
lar value of the deals remains remains well
short of the total reached ve years ago. U.S.
targeted acquisitions totaled $964 billion
through Dec. 27, according to data tracking
rm Dealogic. Thats slightly down from last
years total of $1 trillion and about 40 percent
lower than in 2007, when deals worth $1.6 tril-
lion were struck.
M&A deals are good for stock prices
because the acquiring company typically pays
a premium for the one its buying.
Falling interest rates also set off a rally in the
bond market. Concerns about swings in stock
prices prompted investors to switch money out
of stocks and into bond funds. If investors
decide that the bond rally may be nearing an
end, that ow of funds may be reversed, pro-
viding a support for stocks.
Equities are the best house in a bad neigh-
borhood, says Cantors Kessler. Bonds are,
not priced to euphoria, but they are denitely
rich compared to equities right now.

OLYMPIA, Wash. With a bump in
the Washington state minimum wage to
$9.19 an hour, high school student
Miranda Olson will edge closer to her
goal of buying the black Volkswagen
Beetle shes been researching online.
Olson is only able to pick up part-time
hours working at a cafe after classes and
on weekends. But the extra pennies
shell earn in 2013 will add up over the
coming weeks and months.
Its not much, but its something,
said Olson, 16, who works at Wagners
European Bakery and Cafe in Olympia.
Every bit helps.
Many workers around the country
wont be as lucky as residents of
Washington state, which is raising its
minimum wage Tuesday by 15 cents an
hour even though it already has the high-
est state baseline in the country.
Minimum-wage workers in Idaho will
make nearly $2 an hour less in 2013 than
their counterparts living just one state to
the west.
Automatic increases designed to com-
pensate for inflation have steadily
pushed up wages in some states, even
through the recession, expanding the pay
gap between areas that make annual
adjustments and those that dont. Of the
10 states that will increase the minimum
wage Tuesday, nine did so automatically
to adjust for ination.
Rhode Island lawmakers approved
that states wage increase in the past
year.
Paul Sonn, legal co-director at the
National Employment Law Project, said
he hopes more states will start looking at
automatic adjustments as the economy
recovers.
Minimum wage gap grows wider between states
I
ts that time of year when seemingly
everyone has their top 10 moments of
the year in every category imaginable:
movies, music and, of course, sports. It is
also the season to make predictions for 2013.
Im not a big predictions kind of guy. I
have found I can argue both for and against
any particular prediction, plus people dont
let you forget the blunders you make. I will,
however, tell you what
Id like to see in the
world of sports for the
new year. Were only a
week removed from
Christmas, so keeping
in the holiday spirit,
here is my wish list for
2013:
Alex Smith moves
to another team and
has a solid season. It
took a while, but Smith
has proven over the
last year and a half he
has what it takes to be
a solid starting quarter-
back in the NFL. Teams should be lining up
in the offseason for his services next year. He
needs to go to a squad that already has some
pieces in place and not a team that is in full-
blown rebuilding mode.
The Raiders gure it out. The Bay Area is
already one of the hottest sports scenes in the
country with the Giants, 49ers, As and nal-
ly, the Warriors, experiencing banner years in
2012. The continued struggles by the Raiders
brings down the feel-good vibe.
The Raiders, however, dont appear to be
any closer to joining the winners party any
time soon. They are in as much disarray
under Mark Davis and Dennis Allen as they
were at any time over the last 10 years the
number of years they have missed the play-
offs.
Everyone says general manager Reggie
McKenzie is a good personnel man, but I
dont think he showed much this season, on
the eld at least. I know the team was ham-
strung by moves made in the last couple of
years so you cant expect miracles in Year
One of a new regime. I consider the 2012
season to be an evaluation period and this
offseason is when the team will truly be
remade.
Stop the hiring of retread coaches and
GMs. It was a cut day in the NFL as seven
coaches and four GMs were red the day
after the regular season. Some will and
should get head coaching gigs somewhere
else, but a number of them have proven an
old football adage: good coordinator, bad
head coach.

Stanford Cardinal the favorite in 99th Rose Bowl
PASADENA When the Wisconsin play-
ers asked Barry Alvarez to return to the side-
line, he couldnt resist.
After all, its the Rose Bowl sideline, and
that old stadium has an irresistible lure for
lifelong football people.
But when Bret Bielema abruptly left the
Badgers for Arkansas after they clinched their
third straight trip to Pasadena, Alvarez also
felt a compulsion to protect the program he
built into a power. The underdog Badgers (8-
5) realize the odds they face against powerful
No. 8 Stanford (11-2) on Tuesday, but
Alvarezs mere presence on that sideline tells
his players theyve got a shot.
Just give me a whistle, Alvarez said.
Thats all I need, is a whistle and a bunch of
guys to coach, and I feel very comfortable
with that. And its been fun for me. This has
been like a gift. To be able to do this, and on
this stage, is truly special.
Alvarez is a Hall of Fame coach, but
Wisconsins athletic director knows he cant
work miracles. He acknowledges no tricks or
insight into beating the favored Cardinal in
Wisconsins third straight trip to Pasadena for
the 99th edition of the Granddaddy of Them
All.
Instead, the Badgers are getting perspective,
inspiration and even a little swagger as
Alvarez bridges Wisconsins one-game gap
between Bielema and Gary Andersen, who
also will watch his new team from the sideline
while Bielemas soon-to-depart assistant
coaches largely run the show.
Alvarezs current players were kids when he
retired, and the athletic director doesnt hang
out much with the football team during the
season. But the Badgers know a leader when
they see him.
Hes almost got an aura around him, like
this man built what we are, and everyone
knows it and recognizes it, Wisconsin defen-
sive tackle Ethan Hemer said.
He denitely walks around with a lot of

For those of us who cover high school
sports, legitimate cloning technology cannot
come soon enough. Seriously.
Jotting down notes for a Year in Review
kind of story is already a daunting task con-
sidering the amount of games, athletes and
stories we get to cover daily. But even after
building a solid bit of memory-jogging
momentum you eventually get hit with the
cold fact that some of the best moments of
2012 go missed because there is only one of
me.
Still, we forge ahead and go through the
games, athletes and stories that made the last
365 days of coverage special.
TEAM OF THE YEAR: The list of can-
didates here is legitimate from the Sacred
Heart Prep volleyball team that took home a
double, the Aragon boys cross country team
that made the state meet for the rst time in
50-plus years or the inspiring run of the
Menlo-Atherton boys water polo team (the
mustaches play, boys. They play).
But my Team of 2012 is the Aragon girls
soccer team, who took home a piece of the
CCS Division II title by shocking the
Goliath that is Archbishop Mitty. From
Rachel Killigrews dagger of a free kick, to
Ashley Lentzs superhero-esque saves and
Angela Knowles kiss of a volley (in
Spanish, we call it a sombrerito) It was
a wild and tting nish for a team full of
passionate personalities and without a doubt,
they were the team that was the most fun to
cover in 2012.
AWESOME INTERVIEW OF THE
YEAR: My voice recorder gets cleared
every 200 or so sound bites. And in 2012, I
cleared that thing out three times, meaning
over 600 conversations with athletes and

Black Monday claims
seven coaching jobs
Quite a day for NFL sacks.
Seven coaches and five general managers were fired
Monday in a urry of pink slips that were delivered the day
after the regular-season ended.
There could be more, but so far the sent-packing scorecard
looks like this:
Andy Reid in Philadelphia, Lovie Smith in Chicago, and
Ken Whisenhunt in Arizona, all coaches who took teams to
the Super Bowl, Norv Turner in San Diego, Pat Shurmur in
Cleveland, Romeo Crennel in Kansas City and Chan Gailey
in Buffalo.
Three teams made it a clean sweep, saying goodbye to the
GM along with the coach San Diego, Cleveland, Arizona.
General managers also were red in Jacksonville and in New
York, where Rex Ryan held onto his coaching job with the
Jets despite a losing record.
Reid was the longest tenured of the coaches, removed after
14 seasons and a Super Bowl appearance in 2005 a loss to
New England.
Smith spent nine seasons with the Bears, leading them to
the 2007 Super Bowl a loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
Turner has now been red as head coach by three teams.
San Diego won the AFC West from 2006-09, but didnt make
the postseason the last three years.
Both Norv and A.J. are consummate NFL professionals,
and they understand that in this league, the bottom-line is
winning, Chargers President Dean Spanos said in a state-
ment.
Whisenhunt was red after six seasons, including taking the
Cardinals to a Super Bowl loss to Pittsburgh after the 2008
season. He had more wins than any other coach in Cardinals
history, going 45-51, and has one year worth about $5.5 mil-
lion left on his contract. GM Rod Graves had been with
Arizona for 16 years, nine in his current position. A 5-11
record after a 4-0 start cost him and Whisenhunt their jobs.
Gailey was dumped after three seasons with the Bills;
Shurmur after two; and Crennel had one full season with the
Chiefs.
ALAMEDA The rst year of the
new regime in Oakland ended in similar
fashion to the previous nine disappoint-
ing seasons for the Raiders, with no
playoff berth and changes on the coach-
ing staff.
Coach Dennis Allen red offensive
coordinator Greg Knapp, special teams
coordinator Steve Hoffman, offensive
line coach Frank Pollack and linebackers
coach Johnny Holland as he began over-
hauling a staff he put together after being
hired less than a year ago.
Allen and rst-year general manager
Reggie McKenzie had a long-range view
after taking over an organization that had
been run for nearly a half-century by late
owner Al Davis.
Im not in this for a one-year deal,
Allen said. Im in this long-term. Im in
this to build this thing the right way. And
Im excited about looking forward to the
future and where this organization is
going to go.
But Allen felt some changes to his
staff were necessarily after one season in
which Oaklands win total dropped from
eight to four, the offense regressed and
the defense allowed the most points for
the franchise since 1961.
Obviously, I believe in continuity, he
said. I think thats the way youre able
to sustain success in this league is
through continuity. But I also know that
at some point were looking for the
results and we have to have the results.
This is a win-now business no matter
how much patience were looking for.
Allen said the four changes announced
Monday are the only coaches he plans to
get rid of this offseason.
For a change, the head coach will be
coming back.
The Raiders made six coaching
changes the previous nine seasons,
including ring Tom Cable after an 8-8
record in 2010 and Hue Jackson after an
8-8 mark in 2011.
Allen said he didnt want to look back
at his decision last offseason to overhaul
an offensive system that had been suc-
cessful for two years with Hue Jackson
calling the plays.
Knapp implemented a West Coast sys-
tem with a zone blocking scheme instead
of the downeld passing, power running
scheme Jackson employed.
While Carson Palmer adjusted to the
change and became the second Raiders
quarterback ever to throw for 4,000
yards in a season, big-play running back
Darren McFadden reverted to his early
career struggles when he played in a
similar system.
After averaging more than 5 yards per
carry in each of the past two seasons
under Jackson, McFadden averaged just
3.3 yards per carry this season the
lowest ever for a Raiders back with at
least 150 carries in a season.
Without an effective running game the
Raiders scored more than four fewer
points a game than a year ago a major
part of their drop from eight wins the
past two seasons to just four this year.
I believe the zone scheme running
scheme is a productive running scheme,
Allen said. Obviously, we didnt have
the success that we needed to have and
there were a lot of factors that con-
tributed into that. Im not tied to a spe-
cic system. Im tied to trying to nd out
what our players can do really well and
try to put them in those positions to give
them a chance to have success. Im look-
ing for production and execution.
Allen said he wants to nd the right
coordinator rather than pick a certain
system. He said he would talk to senior
offensive assistant Al Saunders, who was
coordinator in 2011 under Jackson.
Raiders fire OC, 3 other assistants
SANTA CLARA As Jim Harbaugh
sent the 49ers into a mandatory three-
day break to rest their minds, rest their
bodies, San Franciscos coach and his
staff busily began
playoff preparations
for the NFC divi-
sional round in less
than two weeks.
That is, after he
took a moment to
congratulate his men
for another special
season. One that is
hardly finished in
everybodys mind.
The two-time reigning NFC West
champions (11-4-1) will now spend
much of their energy and efforts study-
ing the Washington Redskins the one
team among the Niners three possible
opponents that they have yet to face this
season. Green Bay and Seattle are the
other two who could visit Candlestick
Park for the Jan. 12 prime-time matchup.
Rarely one to look ahead by even a
day, Harbaugh referenced the road he
expects the team to take before seasons
end: reaching the Super Bowl after com-
ing so close last season. San Francisco
lost 20-17 in overtime of the NFC title
game to the eventual champion New
York Giants.
To be back-to-back division champs,
worthy champions of arguably the best
division in football again this year, I
think is quite an accomplishment,
Harbaugh said Monday. Now its a new
focus, a three-game focus, to get our
ultimate goal.
Theres another important job, too.
Harbaugh must gure out who will be
kicking eld goals the rest of the way.
David Akers struggled yet again Sunday,
missing wide left from 44 and 40 yards
before connecting on a 43-yarder and
26-yarder in a 27-13 win against
Arizona. Harbaugh said it is likely the
team will bring in a few kickers for
some tryouts, have some competition.
Akers, who made 44 of 52 attempts in
his sensational 2011 season, is just 29
for 42 this year. He is only 7 for 13 from
40-49 yards.
The 38-year-old Akers signed a three-
year contract as arguably the 49ers
biggest offseason acquisition ahead of
the 2011 season aside from the hiring of
Harbaugh. And he delivered at nearly
every opportunity until recently.
He had a 21-yard attempt blocked by
Red Bryant in a 42-13 loss at Seattle on
Dec. 23, and Richard Sherman returned
it 90 yards for a touchdown.
Such a dramatic decline for the veter-
an who surprised himself when he hit a
63-yarder in a season-opening win at
Green Bay after the ball bounced off the
crossbar. Akers called it about like a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
A six-time Pro-Bowler in his 15th
NFL season out of Louisville, Akers
scored 166 points last season far sur-
passing the 49ers previous best of 138
accomplished by Hall of Fame receiver
Jerry Rice in 1987.
Kickers go through, at times, slumps.
You see a guy go through it and some-
times hell come out of it quickly and
sometimes it lingers a little bit,
Harbaugh said. Have I been surprised
that he hasnt made those kicks? You
have to understand, thats the job of the
Harbaugh wants team to rest

confidence, Wisconsin safety Shelton
Johnson said. I think that rubs off on the play-
ers as well. You just see, hes just the Don
sometimes when he walks around, because
you just know. He has a physical presence to
him when he walks in a room.
Over 16 seasons in Madison, Alvarez built
Wisconsins long-mediocre program into a
consistent contender and a three-time Rose
Bowl winner, most recently in the 2000 game,
a 17-9 victory over Stanford led by Heisman
Trophy-winning tailback Ron Dayne.
Alvarez sees similarities between his work
and the Stanford revitalization led coach
David Shaw, who could be in the early stages
of a similar program transformation in the Bay
Area. The Cardinal won the Pac-12 title to
advance to their third straight BCS bowl with
their third consecutive 11-win season, includ-
ing the last two under Shaw after Jim
Harbaugh left.
Such success was all but unthinkable just a
few years ago at the academic-minded school
that hasnt won the Rose Bowl since 1972, but
Shaw has the Cardinal believing they belong
in Pasadena.
Were grateful to be in this game where
every West Coast team wants to end their sea-
son, and we realize the opportunity weve got,
Shaw said. They did what they did to get
here, and theyre going to do that. Just like us,
were not going to change drastically. Thats a
disservice to the kids. Its going to be strength
against strength. Were going to do what they
do.
Indeed, Wisconsin and Stanford have
remarkably similar approaches to their sport.
Both schools favor hard-nosed running games
with tailbacks Montee Ball and Stepfan Taylor
running behind mammoth offensive lines.
Both offenses are run by relatively inexperi-
enced quarterbacks: Stanford freshman Kevin
Hogan has beaten four ranked teams in his
four starts since taking over, while Wisconsin
senior Curt Phillips is a smooth game manag-
er who missed two full seasons with injuries
and only got his starting job in November.
Both defenses lack glaring flaws, and
Stanford is eager to show off the nations third-
ranked run defense. Both teams played numer-
ous close games this season, with Stanford
enjoying a bit more success than a Wisconsin
team that lost three overtime games.
We can see a lot of us in them, Stanford
offensive tackle David Yankey said. We both
like to run the ball, and were both just tough,
physical teams. It should be a great matchup to

Wisconsin earned a third trip by blasting
Nebraska in the Big Ten title game, becoming
the rst ve-loss team to reach the Rose Bowl.
The Badgers got the chance to trounce the

kicker, put it through the uprights.
Also of added importance with
securing the NFCs No. 2 seed and
an extra week before opening the
playoffs is the chance to get Pro
Bowl defensive tackle Justin Smith
back into the mix after he partially
tore his left triceps muscle in a 41-
34 win at New England on Dec. 16.
Smiths 185-game streak without
missing a start ended at Seattle, and
Arizona pounded that right side of
the line at every opportunity with
Smith missing.
My thoughts are that you watch
the strength and how that comes
back, and if he can play, do his job,
defend himself and be effective,
Harbaugh said. He has made
progress each week, significant
progress. Hopeful, would be my
thought.
Harbaugh indicated the team
would not only rely on Smiths
word on whether he feels ready, but
also the doctors.
Nobody knows his body like a
player himself, Harbaugh said.
Im hopeful.
When it comes to the surprisingly
shaky kicking game, Harbaugh pro-
vided three potential scenarios
sticking with Akers, bringing in a
new kicker altogether or having two
kickers and letting them compete.
Whatever plan they go with, the
49ers will need more consistency
from that position going forward.
We want to make the right deci-
sion. Davids certainly in it,
Harbaugh said. Hes done a lot of
great things for us. Hes made a lot
of great kicks, big kicks. He knows
it, we know it. Those kicks in the
games, youve got to make those
kicks. There will always be a level
of competition around at any posi-
tion to nd who gives you the best
chance to win the next game.
Knowing how competitive Dave is,
I dont think hell have a problem
with that.
San Francisco captured consecu-
tive division crowns for the rst
time since winning four straight
West titles from 1992-95. A rst-
round bye again was an added
bonus after Minnesota beat the
Packers.
The bye is great, backup quar-
terback Alex Smith said. It gives us
a chance to get that much more
healthy.
Harbaugh became the eighth
coach in NFL history to win divi-
sion titles in each of his rst two
seasons and third to do so after tak-
ing over a team with a losing record.
Yet Harbaugh offered a warning
of sorts to his players as 2013
approached not to get too excited
about what theyve done so far.
The celebration will be after the
Super Bowl, not New Years Eve,
the coach said. I hope guys are
smart, I hope theyre tame tonight. I
tried to ask that, encourage it,
almost insist it. You cant make peo-
ple do things, but if the players are
listening, be tame, be tame. Lets
rest. I think we need it.

underwent surgery on his injured
left Achilles and is making progress.

NHL lockout: Union makes
proposal, talk on Tuesday
NEW YORK The NHL and the
players association will start the
new year right where they ended the
old one at the bargaining table.
The sides got together Monday
for the rst time since Dec. 13, and
the union brought along a counter-
proposal in response to the 288-
page contract offer the NHL pre-
sented on Thursday. There were
some discussions between the nego-
tiators inside the leagues midtown
Manhattan headquarters and some
time spent apart in internal caucus-
es.
This discussion was for us to
respond and for them to ask ques-
tions and us to explain a number of
the points we made, union execu-
tive director Donald Fehr said. We
covered the range of subjects that
their document included.
After several hours passed, the
NHL said it would be going over the
players new contract offer on
Monday night and would get back
to the union in the morning.
Commissioner Gary Bettman said
he expected negotiations would
restart Tuesday afternoon.

Athletic League Bay Division title, did her
best to ght back tears of joy. And after a cou-
ple silent seconds, Doss explained why the
tears were inevitable: Im just really proud of
them. Theyve really worked really hard for it.
Ive taken them out of their comfort levels,
Ive pushed them as far as they can go. There
are denitely times in the season when they
hated me because I was pushing and I was
pushing because I knew that we were talented
enough and we can do it. And the attitude the
whole season was, One game at a time. And
it worked.
STUDENT SECTION OF THE YEAR:
This was a three-horse race all year along. The
defending champion Serra Padres are always
early front-runners and get the year started off
right thanks in large part to the Jungle Game
which remains the single-best game-day
atmosphere on the Peninsula.
Menlo School came on strong near basket-
ball seasons end and, when it comes to foot-
ball homecoming games, there isnt a better
experience than the Knights.
But as far as consistency throughout the
entire school season, the 2012 nod goes to
Gator Nation and Sacred Heart Prep. And it
isnt just the students parents, administra-
tors, little brothers and sisters SHPs
group of support at game time is second to
none.
INDIVIDUAL GAME PERFOR-
MANCE OF THE YEAR: I tend to judge
this honor a little differently. More than num-
bers, there has to be something inspiring
about a particular athlete during a specic
sporting contest. Off the top of my head, I can
go with Jennifer Kirst of Menlo-Atherton and
her hat trick against Capuchino; Ronald
Chens nal day in the San Mateo pool against
Hillsdale; Terilyn Moes swagger on the bas-
ketball court in the PAL tournaments nal
game against San Mateo High School.
But Serras Eric Redwood had a game for
ages against Bellarmine College Prep on Oct.
13. The man ran for 180 yards on 22 carries
and scored four touchdowns against arguably
the second-best team in Northern California.
Aside from the statistics, Redwood ran with
such conviction and heart that it was hard not
to root for No. 2 on that particular day. But the
cherry on top was the dignity and class he car-
ried himself with after being stopped in over-
time on a 2-point conversation that would
have gave the Padres the win. The man was all
apologies despite leaving his heart on the
eld. It truly was inspiring to watch.
MOMENT/PLAY OF THE YEAR: There
is no way to pick just one, but were going to
try. You can go with Aldo Severson from Nat
Blood against Terra Nova in the closing sec-
onds in an Aragon make-or break upset;
Knowles almost-game-winning Goal of the
Year against Mitty in the CCS title game;
Henry Carusos alley-oop dunk against the
Monarchs that almost tore the roof off the
Serra gymnasium; Ben Burr-Kirvens com-
plete annihilation of a Soquel High School
player on a kickoff return; Chia Santiagos
opposite eld beauty of an RBI double in a
CCS seminal game against Soquel; Payton
Smith and her kill down the line to give SHP
the CIF NorCal championship.
But the moment that still has me thinking it
didnt quite happen was Freddy Avis
absolute bomb of a home run in Menlos loss
to Pacic Grove in the CCS Division IV base-
ball championship. In that game, Avis hit a
fourth inning pitch over the right centereld
wall at PAL Stadium in San Jose. Knights
head coach Craig Schoof agreed with me
after the game: It was the farthest ball weve
ever seen hit in a high school baseball con-
test. And Schoof has been around the sport a
lot longer than I have.
FEMALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR:
Its too hard too choose just one: Terilyn Moe
of Terra Nova is a local legend; the elding
and hitting of Capuchinos Jennifer Lewis that
almost carried the Mustangs to another CCS
title; Killigrew whose soccer team embodied
her mental toughness and swag; Sonia Abuel-
Saud, aka the heart and soul of a CCS and
NorCal championship volleyball team.
But the Daily Journal gave its highest ath-
letic honor to Burlingames Charlotte Pratt for
a reason. Pratt is an athlete with a magic scor-
ing touch and there wasnt a single occasion
during the water polo or lacrosse seasons
when the sports desk didnt come back to the
DJ ofces after watching her play and werent
in awe.
MALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR:
There were a lot of great ones: Justin Ewing
of Capuchino; Avis of Menlo; Nick Manesis
and his consistency for Terra Nova; Justin
Chang and his leadership for Menlo tennis;
and will we ever see a better golfer in these
parts than the Knights Andrew Buchanan.
But Im going Redwood for my 2012
choice. No one ran harder, with more heart
and against tougher competition than No. 2.
FINAL
Romeo Crennel, previously of Kansas City,
has had two shots at being the top dog and
has failed miserably each time. Same goes
for Chan Gailey, formerly of Buffalo. San
Diego nally gave coach Norv Turner and
GM A.J. Smith the boot. Turner just does not
have it as a head coach and Chargers fans
can blame Smith for seeing this team dis-
mantled in record time with his hard-headed,
my-way-or-the-highway attitude.
The Warriors comfortably make the post-
season and have a legitimate chance to win a
playoff series. Do you believe already? The
Warriors are off to one of their best starts in
decades 20, 30 or 40 years, depending
which record youre looking at.
The Warriors have proved to be one of the
better squads in the NBA 20-plus games into
the season and projecting what theyve done
so far, should make the playoffs.
But if they truly belong, they need to get
one of the top-5 seeded in the Western
Conference playoffs and be favored in a rst-
round matchup. Enough of this squeaking
into the playoffs as the seventh or eighth
seed and facing long odds in the playoffs
2007s upset of the Mavericks notwithstand-
ing. Hopefully this is the year the Warriors
turn the corner and become a bona de play-
off team for seasons to come.
Barry Zito proves last year wasnt a
uke. After six years of relative ineptness on
the mound, Zito bounced back with a stellar
2012 campaign, culminating in some huge
performances in the playoffs.
If Zito can return in 2013 with a similar
season, the Giants can make another run at a
World Series title, assuming nothing else
falls apart.
The As can repeat last years magic. The
As may have nally found their niche in
Major League Baseball: what they lack in
name recognition, they make up for with
exciting play on the eld.
There is no guarantee, however, the As can
capture last years magic because magic is so
eeting. GM Billy Beane continues to nd
value and talent and players and he is prov-
ing to work well with manager Bob Melvin
who, in a year and a half, has transformed
the As into one of teams no one wants to
play.

49ers part ways with Brandon Jacobs
SANTA CLARA The San Francisco
49ers parted ways for good with running back
Brandon Jacobs on Monday, an expected
move after the outspoken player was suspend-
ed for the nal three regular-season games.
The team said that even if Jacobs were to be
claimed by another team off waivers, he would
not be eligible to play during the postseason
and only once the Super Bowl was done so,
that certainly came into the timing of the
move.
When asked during his news conference
Monday whether Jacobs would be reinstated,
coach Jim Harbaugh offered only, No, he will
not.
Jacobs was suspended Dec. 10, though the
team didnt explain why he was being pun-
ished.
HEALTH/LOCAL 15
By Matthew Perrone
WASHINGTON The Food and Drug
Administration on Monday approved a
Johnson & Johnson tuberculosis drug that is
the rst new medicine to ght the deadly
infection in more than four decades.
The agency approved J&Js pill, Sirturo, for
use with older drugs to ght a hard-to-treat
strain of tuberculosis that has not responded
to other medications. However, the agency
cautioned that the drug carries risks of poten-
tially deadly heart problems and should be
prescribed carefully by doctors.
Roughly one-third of the worlds popula-
tion is estimated to be infected with the bacte-
ria causing tuberculosis. The disease is rare in
the U.S., but kills about 1.4 million people a
year worldwide. Of those, about 150,000 suc-
cumb to the increasingly common drug-resist-
ant forms of the disease. About 60 percent of
all cases are concentrated in China, India,
Russia and Eastern Europe.
Sirturo, known chemically as bedaquiline,
is the rst medicine specically designed for
treating multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.
Thats a form of the disease that cannot be
treated with at least two of the four primary
antibiotics used for tuberculosis.
The standard drugs used to ght the disease
were developed in the 1950s and 1960s.
The antibiotics used to treat it have been
around for at least 40 years and so the bac-
terium has become more and more resistant to
what we have, said Chrispin Kambili, global
medical affairs leader for J&Js Janssen divi-
sion.
The drug carries a boxed warning indi-
cating that it can interfere with the
hearts electrical activity, potentially
leading to fatal heart rhythms.
Sirturo provides much-needed treatment
for patients who have dont have other thera-
peutic options available, said Edward Cox,
director of the FDAs antibacterial drugs
ofce. However, because the drug also car-
ries some signicant risks, doctors should
make sure they use it appropriately and only
in patients who dont have other treatment
options.
Nine patients taking Sirturo died in compa-
ny testing compared with two patients taking
a placebo. Five of the deaths in the Sirturo
group seemed to be related to tuberculosis,
but no explanation was apparent for the
remaining four.
Despite the deaths, the FDA approved the
drug under its accelerated approval program,
which allows the agency to clear innovative
drugs based on promising preliminary results.
Last week, the consumer advocacy group
Public Citizen criticized that approach, noting
the drugs outstanding safety issues.
The fact that bedaquiline is part of a new
class of drug means that an increased level of
scrutiny should be required for its approval,
the group states. But the FDA had not yet
answered concerns related to unexplained
increases in toxicity and death in patients get-
ting the drug.
The FDA said it approved the drug based on
two mid-stage studies enrolling 440 patients
taking Sirturo. Both studies were designed to
measure how long it takes patients to be free
of tuberculosis.
Results from the rst trial showed most
patients taking Sirturo plus older drugs were
cured after 83 days, compared with 125 days
for those taking a placebo plus older drugs.
The second study showed most Sirturo
patients were cured after 57 days.
FDA approves first new tuberculosis drug in 40 years
Roughly one-third of the worlds population is estimated to be infected with the bacteria
causing tuberculosis. The disease is rare in the U.S., but kills about 1.4 million people a year
worldwide. Of those, about 150,000 succumb to the increasingly common drug-resistant
forms of the disease.
dangerously potent effects of dehydration
the morning after. But for many, its too late
for that.
Starting off 2013 with a hangover leads
most people to base their New Years resolu-
tions on avoiding alcohol. This may be a
future deterrent, but the current residuals at
hand may need immediate addressing.
The experts at some of San Mateo
Countys favorite watering holes have sug-
gestions on how to relieve the previous
nights indulgences.
Hair of the dog, also referred to as like
cures like, is the process of having another
spirited drink in the morning to, albeit it
briefly, stave off a hangover.
Cristina Goedde, co-owner of Half Moon
Bays San Benito House, fixes up the bars
well-known Bloody Mary in a matter of sec-
onds. There are mixed opinions about the
efficacy of alcoholic hair of the dog reme-
dies; however, with or without the booze, the
tomato juice and celery are full of replenish-
ing vitamins. Topped off with all of the tra-
ditional garnishments, Goeddes Bloody
Mary is prime in the hair of the dog catego-
ry. Goedde also recommends ginger beer as
a lighter morning-after drink.
Since drinking and hangovers frequently
go hand-in-hand, make sure the night
before was worth the pain! said San Benito
House patron Nancy Tinsley.
The winter holidays are marked by nights
of celebration and New Years tends to be
the most alcohol inducing of them all. So for
many, rolling up their sleeves on Jan. 1 and
working through the physical aftermath of a
long night is worth it.
Some of the worst hangover symptoms
revolve around dehydration, dizziness and
an upset stomach.
I take papaya enzymes. Its like a natural
Rolaid, it calms a nervous stomach, Tinsley
said.
Marie Moreuil, bartender at Redwood
Citys 840 Wine Bar and Cocktail Lounge,
also concedes to the upset stomach pains as
a significant hangover challenge. She sug-
gests Coca-Cola, not diet, just plain old
Coke is good, Moreuil said.
Coke being her personal preference, she
also praises the new trend of a ginger ale and
bitters mix that can have a powerful effect
on negating a nauseated tummy.
It has something to do with the fizzy
water and the bitters which help ease the
stomach, Moreuil said.
Sonia Pahl, bartender at San Mateos
Swingin Door, makes her own offerings for
hair of the dog therapy; but when possible,
her age-old hangover remedy is to just sleep
it off. A late-night drinker can suffer from
alcohol-induced vitamin depletion in the
morning so taking vitamin B and C supple-
ments is advantageous, Pahl said. Mixing up
a water and Emergen-C cold and flu packet
containing vitamins and electrolytes will
help rehydrate you in the morning, Pahl
said.
Regardless of the various hangover reme-
dies and myths that are out there, its impor-
tant for individuals to revive themselves in a
personally appropriate and health-conscious
manner. Drinking responsibly allows for
future New Years celebrations and resolu-
tions.

learn that anyone could run for the two-
year seat, including a long-term coun-
cilmember like herself. Matsumoto
expressed interest in running for that
two-year seat in 2013.
Councilman Mark Addiego was
intrigued by the opportunity to keep
Matsumoto on the council for another
two years.
Gupta, who was sworn in on Monday,
has served three years on the Planning
Commission.
Gupta says the greatest issue facing
the city is maintaining and growing rev-
enue to meet current and future obliga-
tions as well as nancing the long-term
vision, according to his council applica-
tion.
Gupta has 30 years of experience with
the electric utility industry including 11
years at Electric Power Research
Institute, eight years at Southern
California Edison Company and 10
years as a consultant focused on interna-
tional utilities, according to his resume.
Gupta holds a bachelors degree in elec-
trical engineering from the Indian
Institute of Technology, and masters
and doctorate degrees in electrical engi-
neering from Purdue University.
A ceremonial swearing in with his
family will be held during the councils
Jan. 9 meeting.

at material sent through the mail. The
agency is being assisted by the FBI and
the charges, if there are any, will likely
be handled by the U.S. Attorneys
Office. U.S. Postal Service spokes-
woman Pauline Bellinger said the inves-
tigation is sealed and there is no addi-
tional information at this point.
County spokesman Marshall Wilson
said a family member delivered the
paperwork Monday. Wilson said he
didnt know where Forrest is now or
how his pension will be affected in
light of the investigation and case
against him.
Forrest worked for the San Mateo
County Probation Department since
November 1977. He was appointed chief
in 2009 and his 2012 salary was
$140,004.
The Superior Court named Roy Brasil,
a 12-year veteran of the San Mateo
County Probation Department, as acting
chief.
The Probation Department employs
approximately 400 people with a budget
of $76 million.
Forrest was named the department
head in 2009, after the exit of former
chief Loren Buddress whose watch
included a teenage murder defendant
escaping from juvenile hall with the help
of two other wards and another teenager
walking away from a detention camp
and was arrested for a subsequent mur-
der.
FORREST
tinue to work on nding smarter ways to
cut spending next year.
The White House and Democrats ini-
tially declined the offer, preferring to
prevent the cuts from kicking in at the
Pentagon and domestic agencies alike.
Ofcials said they might yet reconsider,
although there was also talk of a short-
term delay in the reductions.
While the deadline to prevent tax
increases and spending cuts was techni-
cally midnight, passage of legislation by
the time a new Congress takes ofce at
noon on Jan. 3, 2013 the likely
timetable would eliminate or mini-
mize any inconvenience for taxpayers.
For now, more than the embarrassment
of a gridlocked Congress working
through New Years Eve in the Capitol
was at stake.
Economists in and out of government
have warned that a combination of tax
hikes and spending cuts could trigger a
new recession, and the White House and
Congress have spent the seven weeks
since the Nov. 6 elections struggling for
a compromise to protect the economy.
Even now, with time running out, par-
tisan agendas were evident.
Obama used his appearance to chastise
Congress, and to lay down a marker for
the next round of negotiations early in
2013 when Republicans intend to seek
spending cuts in exchange for letting the
Treasury to borrow above the current
debt limit of $16.4 trillion.
Now, if Republicans think that I will
nish the job of decit reduction through
spending cuts alone - and you hear that
sometimes coming from them ... then
theyve got another think coming. ...
Thats not how its going to work at least
as long as Im president, he said.
And Im going to be president for the
next four years, I think, he added.
Ofcials in both parties said agreement
had been reached to prevent tax increas-
es on most Americans, while letting rates
rise on individual income over $400,000
and household earnings over $450,000 to
a maximum of 39.6 percent from the cur-
rent 35 percent. That marked a victory
for Obama, who campaigned successful-
ly for re-election on a platform of requir-
ing the wealthy to pay more.
Ofcials said any agreement would
also raise taxes on the value of estates
exceeding $5 million to 40 percent, but a
late dispute emerged on that point as well
as on spending cuts. Democrats accused
Republicans of making a 11th-hour
demand to have the $5 million threshold
rise each year to take inflation into
account. GOP ofcials said the White
House had agreed to the proposal on
Sunday night, a claim administration
ofcials disputed.
Any compromise was also expected to
extend expiring jobless benets for 2
million unemployed, prevent a 27 per-
cent cut in fees for doctors who treat
Medicare patients and likely avoid a
near-doubling of milk prices.
Much or all of the revenue to be raised
through higher taxes on the wealthy
would help hold down the amount paid to
the Internal Revenue Service by the mid-
dle class.
In addition to preventing higher rates
for most, any agreement would retain
existing breaks for families with chil-
dren, for low-earning taxpayers and for
those with a child in college.
In addition, the two sides agreed to
prevent the Alternative Minimum Tax
from expanding to affect an estimated 28
million households for the rst time in
2013, with an average increase of more
than $3,000. The law was originally
designed to make sure millionaires did
not escape taxes, but ination has gradu-
ally exposed more and more households
with lower earnings to its impact.
To help businesses, the two sides also
agreed to extend an existing research and
development tax credit as well as other
breaks designed to boost renewable ener-
gy production. Details on those provi-
sions were sketchy.
Obamas remarks irritated some
Republicans.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona they
would clearly antagonize members of
the House.
There was no response from Speaker
John Boehner, who has been content to
remain in the background while
McConnell did the negotiating.
Some Democratic ofcials said that
with his comments, Obama was hoping
to ease the concerns of liberals in his own
party who feared he had given away too
much in the current round of talks over
taxes.
Obama campaigned on a call for high-
er tax rates on income over $200,000 for
individuals and $250,000 for couples, far
lower than the $400,000 and $450,000
that Biden and McConnell have set.
Similarly, the pending agreement on
the estate tax would allow more large
estates to escape taxation than many
Democrats prefer.
CLIFF
TUESDAY, JANUARY 1, 2013
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Should you
fnd yourself involved in an incident where youre
tempted to respond to pettiness with the same, do
your best to rise above temptation and instead act
responsibly.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- By sizing up
business situations realistically, youll quickly
discover that you dont have to bargain from
weakness. Dont give the other party an edge that
isnt there.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A pleasant surprise
might be in store, when you discover that someone
whom you thought unaware of your existence
instead has some very nice things to say about you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Appearances wont
matter so much at present, but a good performance
will really count. Youll have little to fear if your
efforts and industry live up to your promises.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If a wily antagonist
tries to pull something cute over you in front of your
friends today, let this person know immediately that
youre onto what s/he is trying to do.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Opportunities could be
lurking in unexpected places. Dont hesitate for one
minute to transform something questionable into
what you always knew it could be.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Speak up and say
what you believe needs to be said, and not just
what you think others want to hear. Sincerity serves
a constructive purpose, while evasion causes
problems.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- An adversary who usually
succeeds using shifty tactics will be no match for
you. Youll be ready for this persons guile and will
easily circumvent his or her schemes.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Arousing the spirit
of cooperation in others is something you do best
when youre fully engaged. Dont hesitate to go after
the support of some enthusiastic allies if you need it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- When you are motivated
by unselfshness, any arrangement you take on is
likely to turn out a success. This is because you gain
strength from giving and not taking.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You are able to easily
adapt to unfamiliar people or groups. Anyone who
lacks your talent will be eyeing you with envy for
your skill.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Allowing yourself
to be intimidated by uncertainties or challenges will
only cause more problems, especially where your
work or career is concerned. Stay strong.

otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Hiroshi Kawauchi. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
Mary G. Sancimino in the Superior Court

Petition for Probate requests that Mary
G. Sancimino be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent

thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: January 16, 2013 at
9:00 a.m., Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo, 400 County Cen-
ter, Redwood City, CA 94063. If you ob-
ject 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 con-
tingent creditor of the decedent, you
must file your claim with the court and
mail a copy to the personal representa-
tive appointed by the court within four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters as provided in Probate Code sec-
tion 9100. The time for filing 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 appraisal of estate
assets or of any petition or account as
provided in Probate Code section 1250.
A Request for Special Notice form is
