    WASHINGTON The White
    House and a key congressional
    Democrat hinted at fresh conces-
    sions on taxes and cuts to Medicare
    and other government benet pro-
    grams Wednesday as bargaining
    with Republicans lurched ahead to
    avoid the year-
    end scal cliff
    that threatens to
    send the econo-
    my into a tail-
    spin.

    also said they were ready to give
    ground, a boost for House Speaker
    John Boehner and other party lead-
    ers who say they will agree to high-
    er tax revenues as part of a deal if it
    also curbs benet programs as a
    way to rein in federal decits.
    Ill go anywhere and Ill do
    whatever it takes to get this done,
    President Barack Obama said as he
    sought to build pressure on
    Republicans to accept his terms a
    swift renewal of expiring tax cuts
    for all but the highest income earn-
    ers. Its too important for
    Washington to screw this up, he
    declared.
    For all the talk, there was no sign
    of tangible progress on an issue that
    marks a rst test for divided govern-
    ment since elections that assured
    Obama a second term in the White
    House while renewing Republican
    control in the House.

    Those who treat homosexuality as
    a mental illness or developmental
    disorder have a major foe in U.S.
    Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo,
    who introduced a resolution yester-
    day to protect young people from
    so-called conversion therapy.
    Being gay, lesbian, bisexual or
    transgendered is not a disease to be
    cured or a mental illness that
    requires treatment. Any effort to
    change sexual orientation is not
    medicine, its quackery, and we
    should not be
    supporting it
    with taxpayer
    dollars, Speier
    said yesterday.
    She intro-
    duced the Stop
    Harming Our
    Kids resolution
    at a press con-
    ference in

    Doug Bacchi and Gabriel Fonseca, with the Burlingame Public Works Department, clear storm drains at Howard
    and Highland avenues yesterday afternoon after heavy morning rain.More wet weather is expected through the
    weekend.
    FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
    The rain and wind that hit the Bay
    Area yesterday morning, prompting
    trafc delays and power outages, is
    merely the beginning of what will
    be the seasons rst prolonged wet
    stretch, according to the National
    Weather Service.
    A second, more powerful storm,
    will move into the area Thursday
    afternoon, according to the National
    Weather Service.
    Then, after the second storm
    moves on its way, forecasters say
    the third storm system will hit
    Northern California Saturday.
    The third storm is expected to
    bring the most rain, with forecasters
    saying the combined rainfall
    amounts for all three storms could
    be as much as 12 inches in the
    coastal mountains.
    The rainfall and strong winds will
    continue through Sunday, and will
    subside early next week, meteorolo-
    gist Diana Henderson said.
    What you see is a harbinger of
    the day to come: wet, windy and a
    slight chance of thunderstorms, she
    said.
    Henderson said winds of up to 50
    mph were possible on the coast and
    in some areas of the East Bay. Rain
    will persist all week and through the
    weekend, but the winds will die
    down, she said.
    Temperatures are expected be in
    the lower 60s this week, Henderson
    said.
    Its going to be chilly and
    uncomfortable, Henderson said.
    But this is not unusual weather for
    this time of year.
    High winds were reported on the
    San Mateo-Hayward, Richmond-
    Storms to stretch through weekend

    appearance that he doubted he could
    stop smoking marijuana, which hed
    been doing since age 10. She had
    denied his request to smoke one more
    joint before he gave it up.
    Blood dripping from
    SUV leads to poaching arrests
    SOUTH LAKE TAHOE Blood
    dripping from the back of an SUV led
    to the arrest of two Sacramento men
    accused of illegally shooting a deer,
    then stabbing it to death in their vehicle
    when it suddenly came to and began to
    struggle.
    The Tahoe Daily Tribune reports 46-
    year-old Scott Lee and 32-year-old Nai
    Saechao were arrested Nov. 18 on
    poaching, animal cruelty and other
    charges.
    The El Dorado County Sheriffs
    Office says the California Highway
    Patrol received multiple calls from peo-
    ple reporting blood seeping out of a
    Toyota SUV near Shingle Springs, a
    small community in the Sierra foothills
    40 miles east of Sacramento.
    When authorities pulled over the
    vehicle, they found the deer carcass in
    the back. Officers say both men and the
    interior of the SUV were smeared with
    blood.
    Wild coyotes kind of
    chilling by Wrigley Field
    CHICAGO Wild baseball fans may
    be a standard sight at Wrigley Field, but
    a pair of wild coyotes milling around
    Chicagos historic ballpark sur-
    rounded on all sides by bars, restau-
    rants and busy streets was not what
    one photographer was expecting on a
    busy Friday night.
    So he quickly grabbed his camera.
    They were just kind of chilling,
    freelance photographer Will Byington
    said. They were hanging out and not
    even doing much. They were kind of
    just checking out the scene on a Friday
    night in Wrigleyville. It was like they
    were on a date, taking a stroll.
    Byington said he was shooting a con-
    cert at a bar across the street from the
    stadium in the Wrigleyville neighbor-
    hood, notoriously crowded and often
    rowdy on weekend nights, when he saw
    the two coyotes hanging out by the
    statute of former Chicago Cubs player
    Ernie Banks, near the ticketing area.
    It was kind of like they were looking
    for tickets, the 34-year-old Chicago
    resident laughed. They went by the
    ticket window and unfortunately found
    it was closed, so they were ready to
    move onto the bar.

    A San Mateo County prison inmate granted
    parole after serving 20 years for fatally beat-
    ing his wife with a sledgehammer was back
    before the parole board this week for the rst
    time since having his release revoked for
    drinking alcohol and pushing a female friend.
    The two-person Board of Parole Hearings at
    San Quentin State Prison concluded that Peter
    Cooper, 62, should serve 15 months in prison
    for the violations committed in December
    2011 but will not remain incarcerated for an
    indeterminate period.
    Cooper admitted drinking during the inci-
    dent but said the woman slipped on a curb,
    said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe who
    attended the parole hearing.
    The revocation hearing for a parolee is a
    rst for San Mateo County, said Wagstaffe
    who asked the board to keep him in custody
    and begin the regular cycle of parole hearings.
    Look at the similarities in the crimes. They
    both involve alcohol and violence against
    women, Wagstaffe said.
    Instead, the board added extra conditions to
    Coopers eventual release including six
    months of outpatient alcohol treatment and
    alerting his parole agent of any romantic rela-
    tionship.
    The return to prison and parole hearings is
    the latest turn in Coopers case that began with
    his conviction for second-degree murder and
    its reversal, a new trial and conviction, a 2006
    parole board granting him release followed by
    the governors veto and ultimately an appel-
    late court overriding the gubernatorial deci-
    sion.
    On Nov. 16, 1986, Cooper beat his wife to
    death with a sledgehammer in the garage of
    their San Mateo home. The victim called
    Cooper a limp d and rubber d and
    asked if he preferred a little boy after he
    spurned her advances, Wagstaffe said.
    The couple had been married less than a
    year and Cooper was recently on the wagon
    after battling alcoholism, Wagstaffe said. His
    dry state led to an inability to perform which
    sparked the couples argument, Wagstaffe
    said.
    Cooper left her body in the trunk of her car
    at San Francisco International Airport and
    went to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
    He told her friend he didnt know where she
    was and police did not discover the body for
    four days.
    In May 1987, Cooper was convicted of sec-
    ond-degree murder and sentenced to 16 years
    to life in prison. In 1988, the conviction was
    overturned because Judge Robert Miller had
    answered eight legal questions from the jury
    without telling attorneys for either side. Five
    of the answers were wrong. In a 1990 retrial,
    Cooper was convicted of the same charge and
    returned to prison on the same sentence of 16
    years to life.
    After his parole, Cooper settled in Daly
    City.
    In a separate parole hearing at San Quentin,
    inmate Marco Ramirez, 57, was denied parole
    a seventh time for three more years. Ramirez
    is serving life with the possibility of parole
    plus one year for the Jan. 3, 1993 attempted
    murder of a an ex-girlfriend. Ramirez stabbed
    the woman 11 times and left her for dead and
    also stabbed himself in the stomach.

    after pleading guilty to ve counts of mail
    fraud in March. Its unlikely, however, that
    most of the money will ever be repaid, since
    Durkee has few assets.
    During sentencing, U.S. District Judge
    Kimberly Mueller emphasized the egregious
    nature of Durkees crimes.
    What she did had an
    impact on the political and
    electoral processes on
    which our democracy is
    based, Mueller said.
    Dressed in black pants
    and a black sweater, the
    59-year-old Durkee apolo-
    gized in court to those
    who trusted me and I
    betrayed.
    I take full and complete responsibility for
    what Ive done, Durkee told the judge, her
    voice cracking.
    Durkee acknowledged in her plea deal to
    defrauding clients of more than $7 million,
    though prosecutors believe the gure is closer
    to $10.5 million.
    Feinstein said she lost about $4.5 million in
    the scam that also targeted dozens of state
    lawmakers and nonprot political groups. The
    restitution order names 77 different victims.
    Prosecutors and Durkees attorney, Daniel
    Nixon, said she ran the equivalent of a shell
    game from her Burbank ofce, shifting mil-
    lions of dollars among bank accounts for
    politicians, community groups, personal
    accounts and those of her business, Durkee &
    Associates.

    Caada College to get new president
    Dr. Lawrence Buckley, currently heading a Southern
    California junior college, will become Caada Colleges 10th
    president at the start of the year if the San
    Mateo County Community College
    District agrees to the recommendation.
    Chancellor Ron Galatolo will recom-
    mend Buckley to the district Board of
    Trustees at its Dec. 6 meeting. If accepted,
    Buckley will begin Jan. 1 and take over
    from Interim President Jim Keller.
    Dr. Buckley brings a wealth of leadership
    experience that will undoubtedly benet
    Caada College and the district as a whole,
    Galatolo said in a prepared announcement of
    Buckleys recommendation.
    Buckley is currently interim president of San Bernardino
    Valley College, a position he accepted in January. Prior to that
    post, Buckley was also vice president of instruction at that
    institution and Fullerton College. He also served as the dean
    of visual, performing and communication arts at Chaffey
    College and dean of instruction at Lake Tahoe Community
    College.
    He expressed enthusiasm at the possibility of the upcoming
    move to San Mateo County.
    I am delighted to join the Caada College family and to
    have the opportunity to work with faculty, staff and students
    with such an exceptional commitment to academic excellence
    and student success, Buckley said in a written statement.
    Buckley holds bachelors and masters degrees and doctor-
    ate in history from the University at Hawaii at Manoa. He
    began his career as a history professor at the university, later
    becoming a tenured faculty member and department chair at
    Feather River College in Quincy, Calif.
    Caada College is located in Redwood City and serves
    approximately 5,500 day and evening students.
    Police investigate highway shooting
    Police are searching for suspects related to a shooting on
    Highway 101 near Hillsdale Boulevard in San Mateo Monday
    night.
    The shooting occurred sometime between 9 p.m. and 11
    p.m. on northbound Highway 101 and one victim, a 22-year-
    old man, was left with a non-life threatening injury, according
    to San Mateo police.
    Police were able to verify that multiple shots had been red
    at the victims vehicle and one of the involved vehicles was
    maroon, according to police.
    Police are looking for any information from witnesses who
    may have seen any shooting incident or vehicles appearing to
    drive recklessly during this time frame. Police, however, have
    not been able to narrow down an exact location on the high-
    way for the shooting.
    Anyone with information regarding the highway altercation
    or shooting is encouraged to contact SMPD detectives at 522-
    7650, or the Secret Witness hotline at 522-7676. An anony-
    mous text to police can be sent to 262-3473.

    WASHINGTON The House
    Veterans Affairs Committee warned
    the VA Wednesday to expect much
    more aggressive oversight in the com-
    ing months as lawmakers review the
    departments conference and travel
    spending.
    The truce is over, said Rep. Jeff
    Miller of Florida, the committees
    Republican chairman, at the conclusion
    of an often contentious hearing on
    spending at employee training confer-
    ences.
    Miller called the hearing in response
    to an inspector generals report from
    Oct. 1 that described some $762,000 in
    expenses from two Orlando, Fla., con-
    ferences that were deemed as wasteful
    or unnecessary, such as a $50,000 video
    featuring a parody of former Gen.
    George S. Patton.
    W. Scott Gould, a deputy secretary at
    the VA, told lawmakers that the depart-
    ment had taken several steps in
    response to the inspector generals
    report, including ethics training for all
    VA personnel involved in planning and
    overseeing the conferences. He also
    noted that one employee, an assistant
    secretary, resigned.
    Millers committee has sought more
    detailed information from the VA about
    the departments overall training and
    travel budgets. He said dozens of
    queries appear to have been ignored,
    while Gould said that the sheer amount
    of information sought as well as the
    need to ensure accuracy required time.

    The Los Angeles Times says the

    some of whom may see premiums rise
    as much as 25 percent. In its rate

    The rate hikes are among several

    have the authority to reject them for
    being unreasonable.

    rival Mitt Romney
    for a private lunch at
    the White House
    Thursday, their rst
    meeting since the

    Obama promised
    in his victory speech
    earlier this month to
    engage with
    Romney following
    their bitter campaign and consider the
    Republicans ideas.
    In the weeks ahead, I also look for-
    ward to sitting down with Gov. Romney
    to talk about where we can work togeth-

    said at the time.
    Obama aides said they reached out to
    Romneys team shortly before
    Thanksgiving to start working on a date
    for the meeting. The two men will meet
    in the White Houses private dining
    room, with no press coverage expected.
    In the days after his loss, Romney told
    top donors that the president was re-
    elected because of the gifts Obama
    provided to blacks, Hispanics and young
    voters, all of which are core Obama con-
    stituencies.
    The presidents campaign, if you
    will, focused on giving targeted groups a
    big gift, Romney said.

    Brother takes deal for
    shooting at sisters boyfriend
    A South San Francisco man accused
    of shooting at his sisters boyfriend
    through a broken window faces up to
    two years in prison after pleading no
    contest to discharging a rearm and
    possessing drugs.
    Fealofai Laiafa, 31, changed his plea
    to the two felonies rather than stand trial
    on other weapons charges. He will be
    sentenced Jan. 11.
    Authorities say, on May 16, Laiafa
    was in an angry argument with his sis-
    ters boyfriend when the boyfriend went
    outside the home
    and broke a window.
    Laiafa responded by
    firing one gunshot
    out the broken win-
    dow at the boyfriend
    but did not strike
    him, according to the
    District Attorneys
    Ofce.
    South San

    the gun at the scene.
    Laiafa is free from custody on

    pleads not guilty to embezzling

    which prosecutor
    say she claimed was
    needed to cover her
    rent.
    Danielle Lee
    Jones, 25, worked at
    Platos Closet, a
    chain of stores
    including the San
    Mateo location that
    buys and sells used clothing. Between
    Oct. 20, 2008 and June 12, 2010, Jones
    allegedly created fake business records
    for clothing purchases that never hap-
    pened. Instead, according to the District
    Attorneys Ofce, Jones diverted the
    money to herself. A eld operations
    manager for the stores parent company
    caught the irregularity between the
    alleged purchases and the lack of subse-
    quent sales of the clothing in 2010 and
    Jones was charged in May.
    After being held to answer for grand
    theft, embezzlement and seven counts
    of identity theft, Jones pleaded not
    guilty in Superior Court and waived her
    right to a speedy trial. She returns to
    court March 4 for jury trial and remains
    free from custody on $25,000 bail.

    Arctic sea ice larger

    DOHA, Qatar An area of
    Arctic sea ice bigger than the
    United States melted this year,
    according the U.N. weather agency,
    which said the dramatic decline
    illustrates that climate change is
    happening before our eyes.
    In a report released at U.N. cli-
    mate talks in the Qatari capital of
    Doha, the World Meteorological
    Organization said the Arctic ice melt
    was one of a myriad of extreme and
    record-breaking weather events to
    hit the planet in 2012. Droughts dev-
    astated nearly two-thirds of the
    United States as well western Russia
    and southern Europe. Floods

    WASHINGTON A moderate
    Republican senator, vital to any
    White House hopes of getting U.N.
    Ambassador Susan Rice conrmed
    as secretary of state, said
    Wednesday she couldnt back any
    nomination until more questions are
    answered about the deadly Sept. 11
    attack in Libya and Rices State
    Department role during the 1998
    U.S. Embassy bombing in Kenya.
    In a fresh suggestion of eroding
    GOP support for Rice, Sen. Susan
    Collins of Maine emerged from a
    90-minute, closed-door meeting
    with the ambassador voicing new
    criticism of her initial account about
    Libya. Collins
    also questioned
    what Rice, the
    assistant secre-
    tary of state for
    African Affairs
    in the Clinton
    administration,
    knew about
    requests for
    e n h a n c e d
    embassy security before the Nairobi
    truck bombing.
    Pressed on how she would vote if
    President Barack Obama names
    Rice to succeed Secretary of State
    Hillary Rodham Clinton, Collins
    said, I would need to have addi-
    tional information before I could
    support her nomination.
    New blow for Susan Rice
    By Julie Pace
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    WASHINGTON Sen. John
    Kerry is angling to be the nations
    top diplomat by being, well, diplo-
    matic.
    The longtime Democratic law-
    maker from Massachusetts has
    largely stayed quiet while President
    Barack Obama considers him for
    the next secretary of state. Kerry has
    asked his supporters to avoid overt
    lobbying of the White House on his
    behalf. And hes defended his chief
    rival for the post, Susan Rice, amid
    Republican criticism of her initial
    explanation of the attack on
    Americans in Benghazi, Libya.
    Kerrys strategy reects what peo-
    ple close to the senator say is his
    disdain for some aspects of
    Washingtons personnel politics.
    But it also underscores his awkward
    role in the process. If Obama taps
    Rice for the job Kerry covets, the
    senator would have to shepherd her
    difcult nomination through the for-
    eign relations committee he chairs.
    White House ofcials say Obama
    is still mulling over his pick to
    replace outgoing Secretary of State
    Hillary Rodham
    Clinton, though
    a decision is
    expected soon.
    Rice, who has a
    close relation-
    ship with the
    president, is
    widely viewed
    as the favorite.
    But Kerrys
    stock may be
    rising as GOP lawmakers threaten
    to hold up Rices conrmation until
    theyre satised with her answers
    about the early public statements
    about the Benghazi attack.
    But dont expect Kerry or his
    allies to make his case to Obama as
    the president nears a decision, as is
    standard practice for people who are
    on a short list for a new job. People
    close to the senator say he nds
    backroom lobbying for top jobs irri-
    tating and counterproductive. That
    view, they say, is shaped from his
    experience on both sides of the
    process: as a contender for previous
    high-level jobs and as the one mak-
    ing the decision in 2004, when he
    tapped John Edwards as his running
    mate during his presidential bid.

    Already, Morsi is rushing the

    the power struggle, with a draft of
    the charter expected as early as
    Thursday, despite a walkout by lib-

    raised questions about the panels
    legitimacy.
    The next step would be for Morsi
    to call a nationwide referendum on
    the document. If adopted, parlia-
    mentary elections would be held by
    the spring.
    Wednesday brought a last-minute

    ness with the place.
    The apparent confusion under-
    scored what some industry experts
    say is a major obstacle to improving
    factory safety in developing nations:
    Many retailers in the U.S. and
    Europe rely on such a long and com-
    plex chain of manufacturers, vendors
    and middlemen to keep their shelves
    stocked that it is difcult to keep
    track of where certain products are
    made.
    Amid the blackened tables and
    melted sewing machines at Tazreen
    Fashions Ltd., an Associated Press
    reporter discovered clothes and
    account books Wednesday that indi-
    cated the factory was used by a host
    of U.S. and European retailers.
    Among the items discovered: chil-
    drens shorts with Wal-Marts Faded
    Glory label, hooded sweaters marked
    Disney Pixar, shorts with hip-hop
    star Sean Combs ENYCE tag, and
    sweaters from the French company
    Teddy Smith and the Scottish compa-
    ny Edinburgh Woollen Mill. Sears
    was among the companies listed in
    the account books.
    The tragedy is putting a spotlight
    on dangerous workplace conditions
    around the world, with no clear
    answers to how consumers should
    react or who is ultimately responsi-
    ble.
    Wal-Mart said that it received a
    safety audit that showed the factory
    was high-risk and had decided well
    before the blaze to stop doing busi-
    ness with Tazreen.

    Ethics training
    and scarce resources
    Editor,
    I would like to briey respond to Kaia
    Eakins letter, Ethics are important, in
    the Nov. 28 edition of the Daily Journal.
    It might be helpful to know that the San
    Mateo County Board of Supervisors did
    institute policy changes in response to
    the civil grand jurys report. Under our
    current system, all board members
    expense reports have to be reviewed and
    approved by the county counsel. From
    there, they go to the county controller,
    again for review and approval. Members
    of the Board of Supervisors are not
    issued credit cards for any purpose and
    there exists a system for anonymous
    complaints to be investigated. I am not
    sure if that is necessarily enough, but it
    seems to have served us well. What hap-
    pened in Santa Clara County is of
    course discouraging. All elected ofcials
    in the state of California are required to
    complete ethics training every two
    years. The Santa Clara County supervi-
    sor whose alleged expenses are highly
    questionable must have completed that
    multiple times yet it hasnt changed his
    behavior. So, I dont see how instituting
    another layer of ethics training is the
    answer. I may be wrong and I am open
    to exploring how another ethics course
    will be benecial.
    As for the added expense, you may of
    course be right but the decisions that we
    have to make are decisions on scarce
    resources. I need to be convinced that
    this expense is more appropriate than
    other needs that come before us. My
    concern with the proposal before the
    board had to do with the initial cost of
    $262,000 as well as the ongoing costs
    which total $60,000 to $80,000 annual-
    ly.

    Young bicyclists death
    Editor,
    I was so sorry to read the article about
    the 14-year-old bicyclist killed by a
    motorist in Redwood City on Monday
    (School mourns death of bicyclist, in
    the Nov. 28 edition of the Daily
    Journal).
    Whenever a tragic fatality like this
    occurs, local bicycle advocates such as
    myself try to nd out as much detail as
    we can about what went wrong. Many
    of us disagree with the common view-
    point that bicycling is inherently danger-
    ous, a position that is difcult to defend
    in the face of a tragic incident such as
    this one. Roads can be engineered in
    such a way that conicts are less likely;
    motorists and bicyclists can learn from
    collisions and avoid similar conicts in
    the future. It appears that this girl was
    probably right hooked the circum-
    stance when a motorist tries to overtake
    a bicyclist on the cyclists left hand side
    while making a right turn. This is a
    common mistake (and violation of the
    California Vehicle Code) made by
    motorists, and one that can have devas-
    tating results.
    I hope that the authorities in Redwood
    City will announce the nal results of
    their investigation. Their preliminary
    conclusion that no trafc violations
    (were) committed by the driver seems
    dubious, in light of the death of a young
    girl.

    Israel
    Editor,
    Norman Licht incorrectly states in his
    letter to the editor, Israel, in the Nov.
    24 edition of the Daily Journal, that
    Judge Richard Goldstone retracted his
    U.N. report which condemned Israels
    conduct of its invasion of Gaza in 2008.
    He merely made two points. One was
    that the report would have been different
    had Israel cooperated with his commis-
    sion. The second was that he felt Israels
    investigations of its own conduct during
    the war was moving along appropriately.
    His fellow commission members dis-
    agreed with his view. But Goldstone
    never retracted the report.

    Letters to the editor
    Contra Costa Times
    W
    e nd it absolutely stunning
    that the two management
    boards of Californias uni-
    versity systems had planned to again
    raise student fees just days after voters
    narrowly approved a tax increase that
    spared those institutions about $250
    million in promised cuts.
    Proponents of the tax increase, most
    notably Gov. Jerry Brown, had can-
    vassed the state and virtually begged
    voters to pass Proposition 30, saying
    that the temporary taxes were needed
    to help bridge gaps in education fund-
    ing. They assured us that they were
    being responsible and that passing the
    proposition would steady the ship so
    that more permanent solutions could be
    found.
    But even before the votes could be
    certied, the management boards of the
    University of California and California
    State University appeared poised to
    pass planned fees increases to the stu-
    dents, despite the increased tax rev-
    enues.
    Talk about tone deaf. Doing so would
    clearly have been a breach of faith with
    the voters.
    To his credit, Brown recognized the
    ill will that would be generated by such
    an action. He stepped in and convinced
    the boards not to take such actions. At
    least for now.
    It was just last year that the CSU
    board got publicly scorched for handing
    San Diego States new president a
    $100,000 raise merely minutes after
    raising student tuition by another 12
    percent.
    While that could have been a teach-
    ing moment, apparently it wasnt a
    learning moment for the CSU board.
    We think Browns involvement saved
    them from themselves.
    Brown convinced CSU trustees to
    pull a goofy proposal for new fees that
    would have penalized students who
    take more than the usual course load to
    complete a double major or to graduate
    early. Lets penalize the motivated high
    performers. Brilliant.
    Brown also cajoled UC regents to
    pull back on proposed fee hikes at sev-
    eral professional schools, including
    business, law, medicine and nursing.
    In all fairness, we must commend the
    new incoming CSU Chancellor,
    Timothy P. White, who seems to under-
    stand the circumstance.
    He took it upon himself to request a
    10 percent pay cut from the $421,500 a
    year that his predecessor, Charles Reed,
    got to lead the 23-campus system.
    While Whites move is symbolic
    after all, his $380,000 salary is a signif-
    icant jump from the $327,000 he
    received last year as president of UC
    Riverside it does seem to demon-
    strate that the new chancellor under-
    stands that times are tight.
    In his letter to the board, he acknowl-
    edged that faculty, staff and students
    have experienced substantial nancial
    pain in the last four years and that he
    should, too.
    That move does not surprise us at all.
    White has done an outstanding job as
    head of UC Riverside and has earned a
    reputation as a leader who pays close
    attention to constituencies, which in his
    case are students, teachers, staff and
    taxpayers.
    Insight such as his will be a welcome
    relief to the management of our states
    universities.
    Brown made right move on tuition hikes
    My, oh, Mayan
    L
    ess than a month to prepare. Thats all the time
    left not for the winter holidays, mind you, but the
    latest countdown to the end of civilization.
    In fact, dont even bother worrying about trimming the
    tree and spinning the dreidel because come Dec. 21 the
    world is over, according to
    doomsday theorists banking on
    the Mayan calendar.
    Granted, weve been though
    this Chicken Little experience
    so many times before that this
    latest prophecy shouldnt hold
    water. First, there was Y2K
    which technically wasnt sup-
    posed to destroy the world so
    much as create unimaginable
    chaos and anarchy upon its soil.
    When that prediction didnt
    work out so well although
    Im sure there are still some folks holed up in bunkers
    with bottled water, gold bars and ammo the technologic
    End of Days gave way to more religious-based warnings.
    Most notably, Harold Camping of the Oakland-based
    Family Radio International pegged May 21 as the day for
    meeting our maker. When that again didnt pan out,
    Camping recalculated and said no, actually Oct. 21 was
    the day for celestial ascension of the pure-hearted and
    spontaneous combustion for the sinners. So much for that,
    too.
    But now is the real deal. Now we have the moment of
    truth brought to us not by Luddites or fanatics but the
    Mayans. They seem more authoritative on the subject,
    maybe because of all the social studies class time devoted
    to ancient peoples. In any case, experts now say the world
    is not actually ending; the Mayans just didnt create a cal-
    endar past 2012.
    Maybe or maybe thats just what those talking heads
    want the masses to think while they themselves hole up in
    some Apocalypse-proof shelter to ride out the destruction.
    Just look at the signs of coming doom the increasing
    number of natural disasters, the onslaught of terrible head-
    lines about puppy stealing, the fiscal cliff, unexplained
    flocks of dead birds and fish, vampire warnings in Serbia,
    the Petraeus scandal, the Red Dawn remake, the demise
    of Twinkies, children named Hashtag, the entire state of
    Florida.
    Something is afoot and it isnt pretty.
    In other words, time to draw up the bucket list. A month
    isnt a lot of time to think big, like a trip around the soon-
    to-be-decimated world or planning a lavish wedding to
    somebody you met yesterday at the corner coffee shop.
    Think more immediate let people know you love them;
    let even more people know you only put up with them for
    the sake of a job, a loved one or strict adherence to Miss
    Manners rules of etiquette; cash out the insurance policy;
    run up the credit cards; relive a youthful mullet; pierce
    some parts; tattoo others; head to the nearest restaurant
    chain and, using the posted calorie counts, consume as
    many as humanly possible in one sitting; use the coming
    end as a pickup line to secure a few more notches with
    guys or gals who would never otherwise give you a shot;
    definitely ask for Dec. 21 off work. In other words, live it
    up.
    But just in case next months endgame turns out to be
    less a full-scale disaster and the entire human slate is not
    wiped clean, preparations must also be in place for the
    fallout. San Mateo County makes strong pushes for disas-
    ter preparedness, hosting events and promoting kits filled
    with necessary supplies. But we might need something
    more than fresh batteries and a manual can opener to get
    through this catastrophe. Standing in a doorway or crawl-
    ing under a desk? Probably wont offer much protection
    from the unknown. Better take a page from the Centers for
    Disease Control and Prevention which earlier issued
    guidelines for what to do in case of a zombie apocalypse
    speaking of which, the years collection of face-eating
    zombie tales should also be taken as an end sign. Once the
    zombies show up, its all over.
    Undoubtedly there will be looting as there is after any
    major upset, be it a hurricane or the O.J. verdict. Lets
    hope the local public safety agencies are ready to roll and
    the District Attorneys Office is prepared to prosecute to
    the full extent of the law. The end of the world is not a sit-
    uation to treat lightly! Unfortunately, the new jail is not
    yet built and Seton Medical Center in Daly City has not
    yet received millions in Measure A tax dollars for seismic
    upgrades. It may just be every man for himself.
    Or, it may just be another big hoax. Just remember to
    mark the calendar while there still is one.

    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    NEW YORK Stocks gained on
    signs that lawmakers are edging toward
    a deal that would help the U.S. avoid the
    scal cliff.
    Indexes shrugged off an early loss and
    rose in afternoon trading Wednesday.
    The Dow Jones industrial average closed
    up 106.98 points at 12,985.11. It had
    been down as much as 112 points in
    early trading.
    The Standard and Poors 500 was up
    10.99 points at 1,409.93. The Nasdaq
    composite rose 23.99 points to at
    2,991.78.
    Huge tax increases and spending cuts
    will come into effect Jan. 1 if no deal on
    the U.S. budget is reached. Economists
    say the measures could push the country
    back into recession. President Barack
    Obama said he believed both parties can
    reach a framework on a debt-cutting
    deal before Christmas, while House
    Speaker John Boehner told reporters that
    he was optimistic a deal could be
    reached, according news outlets includ-
    ing CNBC.
    Craig Johnson, a Minneapolis, Minn.-
    based technical market strategist at Piper
    Jaffray, said lawmakers realize that there
    is too much at stake to allow the deadline
    to pass.
    I dont think that anybody in
    Washington is going to do something so
    draconian, or so negative, that were
    going to trigger a recession, Johnson
    said. There will be some compromise.
    Concern that the U.S. will go over the
    scal cliff has weighed on stocks since
    the Nov. 6 elections returned a divided
    government to power, with President
    Barack Obama staying in the White
    House and Republicans retaining control
    of the House.
    Uncertainty about a possible increase
    in capital gains taxes has been prompt-
    ing investors to sell stocks, said Johnson.
    As the third-quarter corporate earn-
    ings period draws to a close, investors
    and traders have become increasingly
    xated on the negotiations to cut the
    budget decit. Before Wednesdays gain,
    the market slumped Tuesday after
    Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said
    he was frustrated by the lack of progress
    in talks. The two moves canceled each
    other out, leaving both the Dow and the
    S&P 500 little changed for the week.
    Were all on pins and needles waiting
    for every bit of news, or rumors, coming
    out of Washington, said Ryan Detrick, a
    Cincinnati, Ohio-based technical analyst
    at Schaeffers Investment Research.

    Big movers

    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    WASHINGTON Unemployment
    rates declined last month in more than
    half of the 372 largest U.S. cities, fur-
    ther evidence of steady improvement
    in the job market.
    The Labor Department said
    Wednesday that rates fell in 201 metro
    areas. They rose in 116 and were
    unchanged in 55. And the number of
    cities with unemployment below 7
    percent rose to 180 last month, up
    from 107 a year ago.
    Nationwide, the unemployment rate
    ticked up to 7.9 percent from 7.8 per-
    cent in September. That was mostly
    because more Americans began
    searching for work but not all found
    jobs. Employers added 171,000 jobs
    in October and the previous two
    months were revised higher.
    Unlike the national data, the metro
    unemployment rates are not adjusted
    for seasonal trends, such as the hiring
    of many part-time retail employees for
    the winter holidays. So they tend to be
    more volatile from month to month.
    The number of areas with sharply
    higher unemployment is declining.
    Thirty-five metro areas had unem-
    ployment rates of 10 percent or above
    last month. Thats the same as the pre-
    vious month but down from 80 a year
    ago.
    Bismarck, N.D. once again posted
    the lowest unemployment rate, at 2.2
    percent. The city is benefiting from an
    oil and gas drilling boom.
    Yuma, Ariz. and El Centro recorded
    the highest unemployment rates, at
    29.8 percent and 28.1 percent, respec-
    tively. Both cities include large num-
    bers of migrant farm workers.
    Unemployment rates fall in half of large cities
    Moodys cuts HP long-term debt rating to Baa1
    NEW YORK Moodys Investors Service on Wednesday
    lowered its long-term credit rating on Hewlett-Packard, say-
    ing the technology giant will have trouble increasing sales of
    many of its products.
    Moodys lowered HPs senior unsecured credit rating by
    one notch, to Baa1 from A3. The rating remains invest-
    ment grade but Moodys said its outlook is negative, imply-
    ing it could be further downgraded.
    HPs nances will remain weaker than previously expect-
    ed over the immediate term, Moodys senior vice president
    Richard Lane said in the rating announcement.
    About 75 percent of HPs revenue comes from personal
    computers, enterprise servers, printers and services, Lane
    noted. He said those offerings face slow to no growth
    prospects over the coming years.
    Its not certain whether HP can restore growth and prof-
    itability, Lane said.
    Moodys expects the companys revenue will likely
    decline 5 percent next year and its prot margin will narrow.
    It sees free cash ow after dividends next year of about $4
    billion, down from an earlier estimate of $6 billion to $7 bil-
    lion.
    Microsoft: Windows 8
    selling well despite PC slump
    SAN FRANCISCO Microsoft says the latest version of
    its Windows operating system is off to a great start. Yet it
    remains unclear whether the revamped software will win
    over enough people to revive the slumping personal comput-
    er market.
    About 40 million licenses to Windows 8 were sold in its
    rst month on the market. Microsoft released the gure
    Wednesday in conjunction with the companys annual share-
    holder meeting held near its Redmond, Wash. headquarters.
    But a prominent analyst who tracks Microsoft for Nomura
    Securities lowered his nancial forecast for the company
    because he expects PC sales to continue faltering.

    SANTA CLARA Tight end Delanie Walker
    arrives at work at 6 a.m. each day, and Colin
    Kaepernick always beats him to 49ers headquar-
    ters.
    The quarterback clocks in before most of his
    teammates for that matter.
    With that work ethic and standout performanc-
    es, Kaepernick has earned himself a third straight
    start at quarterback for San Francisco on Sunday
    at St. Louis.
    Kaps here before me, hes here lifting
    weights, Walker said.
    Coach Jim Harbaugh made the announcement
    Wednesday that Kaepernick got the nod over
    Alex Smith after the second-year pro led the
    NFC West-leading Niners (8-2-1) to victories in
    the past two games, his rst
    two NFL starts.
    The rationale is we have
    two quarterbacks that we
    feel great about as a starting
    quarterback, Harbaugh
    said. Both have earned it,
    both deserve it Alex over
    a long period of time, Colin
    by virtue of the last three
    games. It tips the scales.
    Colin we believe has the hot
    hand. Well go with Colin. And well go with
    Alex. Theyre both our guys.
    Yes, Harbaugh is still leaving open every pos-
    sibility, saying it still could be a week-to-week
    decision. All Kaepernick knows is he will begin
    Sundays game under center.
    Harbaugh warned, I wouldnt assume any-
    thing.
    To start talking about speculation or every
    permutation you could get into, were not going
    to speculate on it, Harbaugh said. Were wor-
    ried about everything and we fear nothing.

    SanFrancisco coach Jim Harbaugh named Colin Kaepernick Sundays starter over Alex Smith.
    I
    t appears the future has arrived with
    San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim
    Harbaugh announcing Wednesday
    Colin Kaepernick will start ahead of a fully
    healthy Alex Smith. It was the biggest
    quarterback debate in 49er Land since Joe
    Montana and Steve Young, but in the end, it
    was really not much of a decision at all.
    First of all, I have been one of the few
    voices who has supported Smith since the
    beginning and now, a better option has
    evolved in
    Kaepernick. Its funny
    hearing on sports talk
    radio, social media
    and television how
    much support Smith
    is getting. He had a
    hot hand before going
    out with a concussion
    two and half weeks
    ago. He led the 49ers
    to a 21-6 record since
    the beginning of the
    2011 season. He guid-
    ed them to the NFC
    Championship game.
    But just two years ago, the general con-
    sensus was Smith needed to go. But after
    less than two years working with Harbaugh
    and the 49ers coaching staff, Smith is one
    of the best statistical quarterbacks in the
    NFL.
    But Smith has always lacked that certain
    pizzazz all elite quarterbacks have. In no
    way and am I comparing this situation to
    Steve versus Joe. I think we can safely
    assume Smith is not a Hall of Fame player.
    After seven years, he has not shown the
    capacity to be that kind of guy.
    Kaepernick? Obviously that remains to
    be seen but at this point, he has a lot more
    of a chance to develop into an elite quarter-
    back than Smith does.
    And lets face it, Smith really didnt get a
    fair shake as a quarterback until Harbaugh

    Considering the 18-man Skyline College
    mens basketball roster has been riddled with
    injuries, the Trojans 0-3 start to the 2012-13
    season should not be much of a surprise.
    The good news, as far as coach Justin
    Piergrossi sees it, is that its forcing his fresh-
    men players to assume bigger roles right off
    the start, which should bode well for the
    Trojans as the season progresses.
    We are denitely a work in progress,
    Piergrossi said. We had a lot of injuries in
    preseason that really set us back. Were just
    now nally getting healthy. It hasnt hurt us so
    much in games, we just havent gotten the
    reps in practice. [Tuesday] was the rst day
    we had 15 (players practicing).
    Piergrossis probable backcourt were both
    injured as the season started and are now just
    rounding back into form. Sophomore Joe
    Scott suffered a slight Achilles heel tear and
    was out for about ve weeks. Scott, a shooting
    guard from Jefferson, is Skylines highest-
    scoring returner, averaging about eight or nine
    points per game last season. D.J. Harvey, a
    freshman point guard out of Riordan, is also
    just coming back from an injury.
    We started the season without our starting
    point guard and our starting shooting guard,
    Piergrossi said.
    Also missing is Dean Ferrari, the former
    Burlingame standout. Piergrossi was expect-
    ing big things from Ferarri last season, but a
    knee injury kept him off the court for most of
    the year. He is still struggling with the knee
    since having surgery back in March.
    We were counting on him playing a little
    bit last year as a freshman. Hes tough. He can
    shoot it. Hes smart. Hes been around a win-
    ning program (at Burlingame), Piergrossi

    ALAMEDA The slumping Oakland Raiders
    got a jolt Wednesday when running backs Darren
    McFadden and Mike Goodson returned to prac-
    tice for the rst time since missing three games
    with sprained right ankles.
    Both backs got hurt in Oaklands 42-32 loss to
    Tampa Bay on Nov. 4 and were nally cleared to
    return to practice this week. That loss started the
    Raiders (3-8) on a four-game losing streak that is
    the teams longest in four years.
    Its great just to see them in the huddle, quar-
    terback Carson Palmer said. It feels like its been
    a lot longer than it actually has. But just good to
    see them in the huddle and see them get reps and
    see Darren smiling and hitting the hole hard, and
    same thing with Goody. Good for the team but
    also good for the offense to
    have those guys back.
    Coach Dennis Allen said
    both backs took snaps with
    the rst team at practice and
    would be evaluated as the
    week goes on before a deci-
    sion is made on whether they
    will play Sunday against
    Cleveland (3-8).
    While Oakland has
    missed its top two backs,
    fullback Marcel Reece has been a more than ade-
    quate ll-in after moving into the halfback role for
    the rst time in his career.
    The former college wide receiver has rushed for
    225 yards and caught 15 passes for 175 yards the
    past three weeks. His 4.8 yards per carry in those
    three games is signicantly higher than
    McFaddens 3.3 before he got hurt and Reece has
    six runs of at least 10 yards one fewer than
    McFadden in 91 fewer carries.
    Marcel has earned the right to carry the ball
    some, Allen said. Well still use him in that
    capacity.
    Reece had 19 touches in the seven full games
    before McFadden got hurt, compared to 62 in the
    three weeks as the featured back in Oaklands
    offense. Now the Raiders will need to gure out a
    way to get Reece the ball more even if McFadden
    is back in the lineup.
    Marcel is a beast, Goodson said. We need to
    give him the ball all the time the way he makes
    plays. It helps us out a lot overall for him to be
    making plays like that. You guys see what he does
    when he touches the ball. You want to get your
    playmakers the ball.
    But despite strong play from Reece, the offense
    as a whole has struggled, scoring 15.7 points per
    game the past three weeks after averaging 21.4
    points per gamer over the rst eight weeks.
    This has been a rough season for McFadden,
    who emerged as one of the NFLs most dangerous
    backs the past two seasons before reverting back
    to his early career struggles this season.
    McFadden has averaged more than 4 yards a
    carry only once all season, when he rushed for 113
    yards on 18 carries against Pittsburgh in
    September. His 3.3 yards per carry for the season
    is the worst of any back with at least 100 carries.
    McFadden averaged more than 5 yards a carry
    the past two seasons as he shined under play-caller
    Hue Jackson. When the team went back to more
    of the zone blocking schemes the Raiders used
    early in McFaddens career, he once again strug-
    gled.
    But he still strikes fear in opposing defenses.

    STANFORD At the beginning of August,
    the story of how Josh Nunes ascended to
    Stanfords starting quarterback job seemed to
    be something out of a Hollywood movie: His
    father spontaneously bought him a Cardinal
    cap at 8 years old, he fell in love with the team
    and developed into a
    sought-after recruit who
    spurned schools across the
    country for a chance to
    live out his dream.
    This seasons script
    took another twist.
    In the midst of eighth-
    ranked Stanfords surpris-
    ing run to Friday nights
    Pac-12 title game against
    No. 17 UCLA, Nunes
    new role might appear to be an awkward and
    unenviable one: helping redshirt freshman
    Kevin Hogan succeed as his replacement.
    Instead, Nunes has never pouted or com-
    plained. He has quietly played as big a part as
    anybody in Hogans seamless transition.
    Its tough. The competitor in me, you want
    to start, Nunes said, speaking publicly for the
    rst time since he lost his job at Colorado on
    Nov. 3. But Kevin has done a lot of good
    things, and I denitely support the things hes
    doing. For me, its just practicing like Im
    going to play every week and see what hap-
    pens.
    After Nunes started the rst nine games,
    Hogan has ignited the offense in victories over
    Oregon State, Oregon and UCLA all
    ranked teams in his rst three starts. Not
    only has the dual-threat quarterback grabbed
    the starting spot now, he appears to have
    cemented the job heading into next season.
    The timing for Nunes has made the transi-
    tion even tougher.
    The former star at Upland High School in
    the Los Angeles suburbs has tried to enjoy the
    league championship chase. He admits that
    hasnt always been easy, especially while
    Stanford (10-2, 8-1) faces UCLA (9-3, 6-3)
    his fathers alma mater for the second
    straight week and ghts for a spot to return to
    the Rose Bowl, which is about a 30-minute
    drive from his familys home.
    Obviously, not getting as many reps as I
    was before. Staying locked-in mentally is a
    big part of it now, taking as many mental reps
    as I can now in practice, Nunes said.
    Preparation remains the same every week.
    You have to prepare as if youre the starter and
    make the most of the reps you get during the
    week. Really, the work hasnt changed.

    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    NEW YORK The most polariz-
    ing Hall of Fame debate since Pete
    Rose will now be decided by the
    baseball shrines voters: Do Barry
    Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy
    Sosa belong in Cooperstown despite
    drug allegations that tainted their
    huge numbers?
    In a monthlong election sure to
    become a referendum on the
    Steroids Era, the Hall ballot was
    released Wednesday, and Bonds,
    Clemens and Sosa are on it for the
    rst time.
    Bonds is the all-time home run
    champion with 762 and won a
    record seven MVP awards. Clemens
    took home a record seven Cy Young
    trophies and is ninth with 354 victo-
    ries. Sosa ranks eighth on the homer
    chart with 609.
    Yet for all their HRs, RBIs and
    Ws, the shadow of PEDs looms
    large.
    You could see for years that this
    particular ballot was going to be
    controversial and divisive to an
    unprecedented extent, Larry Stone
    of The Seattle Times wrote in an
    email. My hope is that some clarity
    begins to emerge
    over the Hall of
    Fame status of
    those linked to
    per f or mance-
    enhancing drugs.
    But I doubt it.
    More than 600
    longtime mem-
    bers of the
    B a s e b a l l
    WritersAssociation of America will
    vote on the 37-player ballot.
    Candidates require 75 percent for
    induction, and the results will be
    announced Jan. 9.
    Craig Biggio, Mike Piazza and
    Curt Schilling also are among the 24
    rst-time eligibles. Jack Morris, Jeff
    Bagwell and Tim Raines are the top
    holdover candidates.
    If recent history is any indication,
    the odds are solidly stacked against
    Bonds, Clemens and Sosa. Mark
    McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro both
    posted Cooperstown-caliber stats,
    too, but drug clouds doomed them in
    Hall voting.
    Some who favor Bonds and
    Clemens claim the bulk of their
    accomplishments came before base-
    ball got wrapped up in drug scan-
    dals. They add that PED use was so
    prevalent in the 1980s, 1990s and
    early 2000s that
    its unfair to
    exclude anyone
    because so many
    who- di d- and-
    who-didnt ques-
    tions remain.
    Many fans on
    the other side
    say drug cheats
    suspected or
    otherwise should never be afford-
    ed the games highest individual
    honor.
    Either way, this election is base-
    balls newest hot button, generating
    the most fervent Hall arguments
    since Rose. The discussion about
    Rose was moot, however the
    games career hits leader agreed to a
    lifetime ban in 1989 after an investi-
    gation concluded he bet on games
    while managing the Cincinnati
    Reds, and that barred him from the
    BBWAA ballot.
    The BBWAA election rules allow
    voters to pick up to 10 candidates.
    As for criteria, this is the only
    instruction: Voting shall be based
    upon the players record, playing
    ability, integrity, sportsmanship,
    character, and contributions to the
    team(s) on which the player played.
    That leaves a lot of room for inter-
    pretation.
    B o n d s ,
    Clemens and
    Sosa wont get a
    vote from Mike
    Klis of The
    Denver Post.
    Nay on all
    three. I think in
    all three cases,
    their perform-
    ances were artificially enhanced.
    Especially in the cases of Bonds and
    Clemens, their production went up
    abnormally late in their careers, he
    wrote in an email.
    Theyll do better with Bob Dutton
    of The Kansas City Star.
    I plan to vote for all three. I
    understand the steroid/PED ques-
    tions surrounding each one, and Ive
    wrestled with the implications, he
    wrote in an email.
    My view is these guys played
    and posted Hall of Fame-type num-
    bers against the competition of their
    time. That will be my sole yardstick.
    If Major League Baseball took no
    action against a player during his
    career for alleged or suspected
    steroid/PED use, Im not going to do
    so in assessing their career for the
    Hall of Fame, he said.
    San Jose Mercury News colum-
    nist Mark Purdy will reserve judg-
    ment.
    At the beginning of all this, I
    made up my mind I had to adopt a
    consistent policy on the steroid
    social club. So, my policy has been,
    with the brilliance in the way they
    set up the Hall of Fame vote where
    these guys have a 15-year window,
    Im not going to vote for any of
    those guys until I get the best picture
    possible of what was happening
    then, he wrote in an email.
    We learn a little bit more each
    year. We learned a lot during the
    Bonds trial. We learned a lot during
    the Clemens trial. I dont want to say
    Im never going to vote for any of
    them. I want to wait until the end of
    their eligibility window and have my
    best idea of what was really going
    on, he said.
    Clemens was acquitted this sum-
    mer in federal court on six counts
    that he lied and obstructed Congress
    when he denied using performance-
    enhancing drugs.
    Bonds was found guilty in 2011
    by a federal court jury on one count
    of obstruction of justice, ruling he
    gave an evasive answer in 2003 to a
    grand jury looking into the distribu-
    tion of illegal steroids. Bonds is
    appealing the verdict.

    THOUSAND OAKS Brace
    yourself just not your putter.
    In a proposal that would affect
    major champions as well as amateurs
    at their local clubs, the guardians of
    the 600-year-old sport want to write a
    new rule that would outlaw a putting
    stroke they fear is taking too much
    skill out of the game.
    The U.S. Golf Association and the
    Royal & Ancient Golf Club said
    Wednesday they are not banning the
    belly putter or the longer broom-han-
    dle putters only the way they are
    used. The proposed rule would pro-
    hibit golfers at all levels from anchor-
    ing a club against their bodies while
    making a stroke.
    The rule would not take effect until
    2016.
    We believe a player should hold
    the club away from his body and
    swing it freely, USGA executive
    director Mike Davis said. Golf is a
    game of skill and challenge, and we
    think thats an important part of it.
    Three of the last ve major champi-
    ons, starting with Keegan Bradley at
    the 2011 PGA Championship, used a
    belly putter.

    said. He tried to get out at practice
    a couple weeks ago and he couldnt
    do it.
    Those three question marks, how-
    ever, have been offset by the play of
    a couple freshmen Brandon
    Berkovatz (Mills) and Matt Ennis
    (Woodside). Berkovatz, at 6-8,
    gives the Trojans an inside pres-
    ence, while Ennis has been showing
    off his all-around play at both guard
    positions. Ennis has served as
    Skylines main point guard as
    Harvey was going through rehab.
    Hes making the adjustment to
    having the ball in his hands a lot
    more, Piergrossi said. Hes going
    to play a lot. Hes already played
    well. Hes a guy we think is going to
    keep getting better.
    Berkovatz is already starting to
    show promise of his potential, hav-
    ing already recorded a 14-point, 11-
    rebound, 7-block effort for the
    Trojans this season.
    Berkovatz is the latest in a line of
    Mills big men who didnt quite t
    into the guard-oriented style of play
    during high school but turned into
    solid basketball players under
    Piergrossi. Matt Fochtman and
    Mario Flaherty toiled away in rela-
    tive obscurity at Mills to eventually
    earn scholarships to four-year uni-
    versities after a two-year stop at
    Skyline.
    Piergrossi believes Berkovatz can
    do the same.
    Hes 6-8 and hes put on 10
    pounds since we got him, said
    Piergrossi, who listed Berkovatzs
    weight at 205 pounds. He has a
    good head on his shoulders. He just
    needs some experience playing
    against big, athletic college players.
    Hes handled it well.
    Hes playing great for us. Were
    pounding him down low. Hes going
    to be a work in progress, but its a
    two-year process. Were going to
    play him a ton as a freshman, a 25-
    to 30-minute guy.
    Agustin Arroyo, a sophomore
    guard out of Half Moon Bay, will be
    Piergrossis do-everything guy:
    Arroyo can score a little, can
    rebound a little, can defend and isnt
    afraid to get his nose bloodied or
    take on a challenge.
    Hes one of those glue guys,
    (who) does a little bit of every-
    thing, Piergrossi said. Just a guy
    you need to have on the oor and
    hes playing pretty well.
    The 0-3 start to the season does
    not sound the death knell for
    Skyline. Piergrossi knows he in not
    building a state power in San Bruno.
    What he is trying to accomplish is
    getting his players to learn how to
    play at the college level and then
    have them nish out their playing
    careers at four-year schools.
    As such, Piergrossi can afford to
    be a bit patient as his team develops.
    Its crazy to be optimistic when
    youre 0-3, but theyve gotten so
    much better since that rst game.
    We were pretty bad that rst game.
    Were (already) so much better in
    two or three weeks. Thats what we
    stress to the guys: its a process,
    Piergrossi said. Ive seen some
    good stuff from these guys. We are
    going to play a lot of freshmen,
    which is always a challenge.
    We just have to get healthy. If we
    dont get healthy, were going to
    struggle. We need all our guys.

    arrived. Until then, Smith had survived countless beatings
    both physically and mentally with previous coaching
    staffs who had no idea how to develop a quarterback. A seri-
    ous shoulder injury which required surgery certainly didnt
    help his development either.
    Smith is already beaten down as far as quarterbacks go,
    while Kaepernick is essentially who the 49ers thought they
    were getting when they drafted Smith: a dynamic runner and
    passer who can make plays happen. Smith never realized that
    potential since arriving from University of Utah. Kaepernick
    has already reached and surpassed Smith that level in
    less than two years under Harbaugh.
    The biggest difference in Kaepernick starting?
    Expectations. Fans will now expect big things from him.
    Initially, I believed the 49er coaching staff was putting too
    much of the offensive load on Kaepernick in that game
    Sunday. More Frank Gore! Run the ball more! were the
    cries emanating from my living room and on social media.
    But it dawned on me: after seven years of a conservative
    Alex Smith, the San Francisco coaching staff nally has a
    guy who can open up the entire playbook. Plays that would
    been daring by Smiths standards, are normal plays with
    Kaepernick under center. Even if Kaepernick does make mis-
    takes, big plays will be a lot bigger with him pulling the trig-
    ger. Whereas Smith never seemed able to pull the offense out
    of a third-and-long situation, Kaepernick can and does. Its
    much easier to overcome a Kaepernick mistake than a Smith
    faux pas because Kaepernick is more likely to make amends
    for it with game-dening plays.
    Lets face it. Harbaugh has always been looking for the
    next best thing to replace Smith. Even with all the talk of
    Smith being his guy and the 49ers quarterback, Harbaugh
    knew he needed to upgrade the position. Thats what the
    brief dalliance last offseason with Peyton Manning was all
    about. Thats the reason for the shufing of Smith and
    Kaepernick earlier in the season. Harbaugh believed
    Kaepernick was poised to take over. He just needed to see
    him in game situations. He obviously played well in his brief
    appearances and, when Smith went down with injury, it was
    the perfect time to hand the team over to the better option.
    Its plainly obvious Smith will not be back with the 49ers
    next year, but he can take solace in the fact there will be
    another job out there for him based on what he has done the
    last year and a half: which is develop into a good quarter-
    back.
    Unfortunately for Smith, the 49ers now have a better one.
    And, in adhering to the 49ers Way, Harbaugh did what even
    the great Bill Walsh did: replace a player a year too early
    rather than a year too late.

    What concerned the governing bodies, however, was an
    increasing number of players who were turning to the long put-
    ters because they saw it as an advantage, not as a last resort to
    cure their putting woes.
    Anchored strokes have very rapidly become the preferred
    option for a growing number of players, and this has caused us
    to review these strokes and their impact on the game, R&A
    chief executive Peter Dawson said. Our conclusion is that
    anchored strokes threaten to supplant traditional strokes, which
    with all their frailties are integral to the longstanding character
    of our sport.
    Players could still use a broom-handle or belly putter as
    long as it not pressed against their body to create the effect of a
    hinge.
    The R&A and USGA now offer a three-month period for
    open comment on the proposal before they approve it. But this
    already is shaping up to be a divisive issue, from industry lead-
    ers worried about the growth of golf to players who have been
    using these putters for years.
    Any competitive player likes to have an extra advantage,
    Matt Kuchar said. I think youre going nd anyone using the
    short putter is glad, and anyone using the belly putter or long
    putter is not happy.
    Kuchar used a mid-length putter that rested against his left
    arm when he won The Players Championship. That style is OK.
    Fred Couples, the 53-year-old former Masters champion,
    uses a belly putter, though it rests against his stomach it is
    not anchored and the end of the club moves freely. He was
    not sure if that would be allowed, and he wasnt sure golf need-
    ed such a rule anyway. Couples argument is that if the anchored
    stroke was that much of an advantage, everyone would be using
    it.
    None of the top 20 players on the PGA Tours most reliable
    putting statistic used an anchored putting stroke.
    In my opinion, they havent screwed up golf yet, and I dont
    think this will screw it up, Couples said. But I feel bad for
    Keegan Bradley, because Ill tell you what: If they banned it
    tomorrow and we played a tournament, I think Ill be a better
    player than Keegan. And I dont think thats fair.

    pick of the Indianapolis Colts. Nunes played spec-
    tacularly in the second half to upset then-No. 2
    Southern California and rallied the Cardinal from
    a two-touchdown decit for a 54-48 overtime win
    against Arizona, but he struggled for long stretch-
    es in close losses at Washington and Notre Dame,
    with the offense failing to score a touchdown each
    time.
    Hogans role increase more each week, starting
    with wildcat and read-option packages, then mov-
    ing into the prototypical sets of Stanfords compli-
    cated offense. Finally, after Nunes failed to move
    the offense on the rst two possessions at Pac-12
    cellar-dweller Colorado, Hogan entered in relief.
    With his parents in the stands, Nunes smiled
    back at them and started helping Hogan out.
    Through adversity, you nd little glimmers of
    sunshine. It probably made us almost more proud
    seeing how he reacted on the sideline and how
    much he was helping Kevin out, said his father,
    Tim Nunes. He was continually looking at the
    wristband, talking to him when he was on the side-
    line and helping him out. Its just been another
    opportunity to be proud.
    Stanford coach David Shaw believes Nunes can
    be to Hogan what Tavita Pritchard was to Luck.
    Pritchard also led an upset against second-
    ranked USC in 2007, started all of 2008 and lost
    out to Luck heading into the 2009 season. His
    experience gave Luck a useful resource, and
    Pritchard is in his second season as a Stanford
    defensive assistant now.
    While Shaw often reminds Nunes that hes
    always one play away, he said the way Nunes has
    remained an integral part of the team as a backup
    has been impressive.
    I know it sounds cheesy, but Josh is the kid you
    want your daughter to bring home one day and
    say, This is the guy Im going to marry, Shaw
    said. I cant have a higher praise for what kind of
    a young man he is. Through all this, it has been
    hard on him. But every single day he comes out
    and works. He talks to Kevin on the sideline, he
    says what he sees. He says, Hey, whatd you see?
    They have little powwows. Its always so good to
    have another guy thats played, another guys thats
    performed, another guy thats on your level thats
    not a coach yelling at you.
    Nunes beat out Brett Nottingham and Hogan in
    preseason practice and Shaw still insists Nunes
    was the only guy that couldve gotten us those six
    wins. He was the only guy that was really ready.
    More than anything, Shaw said, Nunes best under-
    stood the nuances of Stanfords system.
    Even now those smarts have proved useful.
    Tight end Zach Ertz said Nunes has kind of
    taken a leadership role off the eld and is still a
    big part of this team. Hes in there helping every-
    body with meetings, watching lm and on the
    sideline just communicating with everybody
    whats going on on the eld.
    Leading the praise for Nunes easing what
    couldve been an uncomfortable quarterback
    swap: Hogan.
    He has been the most supportive. Sometimes
    in those situations, its kind of weird. But he has
    been great for me, Hogan said. He has been a
    great teammate. Every time coming off on the
    sideline, hes letting me know what he sees, giving
    me pointers and advice. So for him to do that, its
    just really great. I really appreciate that.
    Nunes is still not ready to concede that his days
    as the starter are done.
    The redshirt junior has another year of eligibili-
    ty left, and he hopes to do more than earn his
    degree in management science and engineering. If
    he has learned one thing from his time as a starter,
    its that things can change in a hurry.
    Just being out there with the guys and stuff is
    really special, Nunes said. I really appreciated
    when I was out there with them, and I look for-
    ward to hopefully getting the chance again.

    players on the eld at some point during
    Wednesday mornings walk-through practice.
    Kaepernick has completed 48 of 74 passes for
    680 yards and three touchdowns with one inter-
    ception and was sacked six times. He has a 102.3
    passer rating.
    I dont know if its a hot hand. Whatever you
    want to call it. Im just happy I get to go back out
    there, Kaepernick said. Its a great chance to
    lead this team and show were a great team and
    we can go into the playoffs.
    Smith, the 2005 No. 1 overall draft pick, hard-
    ly looked happy on the sideline during Sundays
    win over the Saints after being medically cleared
    from a concussion suffered in the rst half of a
    24-24 tie against St. Louis on Nov. 11.
    Thats coachs decision, running back Frank
    Gore said. He said before hes going to go with
    the hot hand, and hes sure that Kaps got the hot
    hand right now. I just feel weve got two good
    quarterbacks who can help us win. Thats a plus
    for the team.
    As the questions about his quarterback deci-
    sion kept coming from every direction,
    Harbaugh repeatedly said, I think Ive covered
    and plowed that ground about as thoroughly as it
    can be plowed.
    Losing his job is nothing new for Smith in
    what has been a roller coaster eight-year NFL
    career lled with promotions and demotions.
    Even after his last full game was an impressive
    win on Monday Night Football at Arizona on
    Oct. 29 that earned him NFC Offensive Player of
    the Week honors. In a near-perfect night, Smith
    completed 18 of 19 passes for 232 yards and
    three touchdowns without an interception. He
    had a 157.1 passer rating and connected with
    nine different receivers.
    Smith bounced from starter to the bench
    throughout 2010 after coming into the year
    entrenched as the starter and thats been his
    story each year except for during last years turn-
    around season. He is 19-5-1 in two years playing
    for former NFL quarterback Harbaugh.
    Smith was expected to speak with reporters
    Thursday, the team said.
    In the locker room, players have said all the
    right things: supporting both quarterbacks, while
    reiterating it is Harbaughs call to make.
    Its getting very old. Its kind of taking away
    from what the Niners are doing, all this fuss
    about our quarterback situation, Walker said.
    (Alex) denitely didnt lose his job. Kap is just
    playing well, so thats what I think youre seeing
    right now. A lot of guys on offense are feeding
    off it. So were just going to go with Kap until
    Jim Harbaugh decides otherwise.
    Walker knows its probably not over yet,
    though, as Smith very well could get another
    shot sometime over the nal ve games.
    Also Wednesday, Harbaugh said kicker David
    Akers is nursing an undisclosed injury, and thats
    why the 49ers worked out kickers Tuesday.
    Akers looked strong at the start of practice, kick-
    ing eld goals from 50 yards and demonstrating
    ample leg strength and accuracy. He missed
    what would have been the game-winning eld
    goal in overtime last time against the Rams, then
    missed one from 50 yards in the fourth quarter
    and had another blocked from 33 yards out
    Sunday at New Orleans. Akers was clipped by a
    Saints player after his fourth extra-point attempt
    in the third quarter but showed no visible signs
    of injury.
    He has missed four of his last seven tries from
    40 to 49 yards and eight of his last 21 overall. He
    ranks 29th in eld-goal percentage at 70.4 after
    setting a single-season NFL record last season
    with 44 made eld goals.
    David Akers is working through something
    and we want to make sure we have a Plan B,
    Harbaugh said.

    FIFA: Brazil still has
    plenty of work to do
    SAO PAULO FIFA leaders believe theres
    still a lot left to be done in Brazil to successfully
    stage the 2013 Confederations Cup and the 2014
    World Cup.
    There is a lot of work in the stadiums and a
    lot of work in urban mobility and the different
    infrastructure work, FIFA Secretary General
    Jerome Valcke said Wednesday. Yeah, we have
    plenty of work to do, but we will have what we
    need to organize the World Cup in the best envi-
    ronment.
    Valckes comments came after a board meet-
    ing of the local World Cup organizing commit-
    tee and FIFAs nal tour of the World Cup host
    cities this year. The draw of the Confederations
    Cup is Saturday in Sao Paulo.
    Valcke said 2013 will be a crucial year with
    Brazil hosting the warm-up competition in June.
    We are condent and 2013 is denitely a key
    year with the lessons of the Confederations Cup.
    We will see what we have to adapt and what we
    need to do in the remaining six World Cup sta-
    diums, he said. We have a number of things to
    work on between now and April. We are now in
    the process of moving into the details, we are not
    talking about infrastructure in the highest level.
    Ronaldo, a member of the local organizing
    committee, said Brazil will host an excellent
    World Cup.
    We dont have to talk about the stadiums any
    more, we know they will be ready, Ronaldo
    said. Its time to start working about the details.
    We know the World Cup will happen and that
    the stadium will be wonderful.
    Valcke praised the level of understanding
    reached between FIFA and the Brazilian govern-
    ment. FIFA and the Brazilian government have
    been trying to show unity as the deadlines
    become tighter.

    Closing the house for the holidays: A checklist
    When you go on vacation,lock all windows and doors and set your alarm if you have one.The
    police also might be able to check on your house daily.
    By Lisa A. Flam
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    The ights have been booked, the suitcases
    retrieved from the attic and your vacation itin-
    erary has been set. But while your mind may
    be ready to wander to a faraway land, dont
    forget about home sweet home just yet.
    Securing your home and making it look
    occupied while youre away on a winter vaca-
    tion will help deter thieves. And some simple
    preparations can save you the anguish and
    expense of returning home to nd damage if
    something like a dishwasher hose decides to
    fail in your absence.
    If you look at how long it takes compared
    to repairing the potential damage, it seems
    much easier to take the precautions than it
    does to make the repairs, said Richard Stone,
    a University of Minnesota Extension educator
    in housing technology.
    Heres a checklist for closing up
    the house properly before you go:
    Daily Check: Arrange for a friend or
    neighbor to check on the house at least once a
    day (and feed the sh or water the plants).
    Give that person a copy of your itinerary and
    contact numbers. Ask that they call the police
    if they see or hear anything out of the ordinary.
    Mail/Newspapers: Have the mail held, or
    ask a neighbor to take it in. The U.S. Postal
    Service will hold mail from three to 30 days.
    Sign up for this free service at usps.com, or
    pick up a form at the post ofce that can be
    given to your letter carrier, left in your mail-
    box or returned to your post ofce. Cancel
    newspaper deliveries, and ask your neighbor
    to take in any unexpected holiday packages,
    notices of delivery attempts that may be left
    on your door, or free publications tossed on
    the driveway. Thats a sure sign that youre
    not there, when all that stuff starts accumulat-
    ing at your house, said Ernie Long, the crime
    prevention coordinator for the Aventura Police
    Department in Florida and an instructor for
    the National Crime Prevention Council.
    Snow removal: If you dont have a contract
    for regular snow removal, arrange for some-
    body to clear your driveway and sidewalk if
    there is a storm. The house will look occupied
    if the driveway is cleared, plus that allows any
    emergency crews closer access to your home.
    Students may want the job, but nd out if they
    have their own equipment or need access to
    yours.
    Security: Lock all windows and doors and
    set your alarm if you have one. The police also
    might be able to check on your house daily. If
    your department has one, register with its
    vacation watch or dark house list. We
    will periodically go by and check your house
    to make sure everything is on the up and up,
    Long said. Just about every police depart-
    ment offers some kind of vacation watch.
    Lights: To make your house look lived in,
    put lights on timers to mimic your typical rou-
    tine. Long said hell set his living room timer
    to go on in the evening for a bit, and then hell
    set a bedroom light to go on for an hour before
    his usual bedtime. Exterior motion lights are
    highly effective in deterring crime because, as
    Long said, you cant sneak up on them.
    Noise: A radio can also be set on a timer to
    make it seem like youre there. Burglars, look-
    ing for an empty house, will rst knock on a
    front door, and will ee if they hear a radio,

    thinking you just didnt hear the knock.
    If nobody answers, they typically go
    around to a back door, where they are
    less visible, Long said.
    Locks and Doors: The back door
    should have a high-security lock and a
    strong door frame. Long recommends
    replacing short screws with 3 1/2-inch
    wood screws to reinforce the strike plate
    on the door, making it harder for a crim-
    inal to kick it in. You need to have
    good-quality locks but the door frame is
    just as important, especially on the back
    door, he said. Studies have shown that
    if you delay him two minutes, hell go
    somewhere else.
    Valuables: The rst place robbers go
    in a home is the master bedroom, Long
    said, where they are after money, jewel-
    ry and guns. If you have a big stash of
    cash or an expensive jewelry collection,
    he recommends storing it at a bank safe-
    ty deposit box and storing any weapons
    in a gun safe. If you hide valuables in
    your home, be creative, Long said; place
    them in a coffee can, painted black and
    attached to the oor joists overhead in
    the basement, for instance. If the guy is
    there for a while, hell knock over every-
    thing in your house, empty every draw-
    er, turn every mattress over and look
    everywhere in your house for good
    stuff, Long said. Theyre not neat
    when they do it.
    Blinds: Leave the blinds as you nor-
    mally do. If you raise and lower them
    daily, Long recommends keeping blinds
    closed in the rear of the house, in case a
    would-be robber is watching for move-
    ment, and keep them open in the front.
    Thermostat: If youre leaving a cold
    weather clime, you can turn the heat
    down in your home, but dont turn it off
    altogether since that could cause damage
    from frozen water pipes. Stone recom-
    mends going no lower than 60 degrees.
    Even at that temperature, the exterior
    walls, which may house pipes and
    plumbing xtures, will be colder, espe-
    cially in older homes that may have less,
    or no, insulation in those outer walls.
    Turning that core temperature down is
    going to make a signicant difference in
    the temperature around the perimeter,
    Stone said.
    Another concern is mold if you have
    humidity sources like plants or fish
    tanks. Colder surfaces can condense
    moisture and lead to mold growth.
    Set your thermostat fan from auto to
    run or on to keep the ow of warm
    air even and continuous.
    I would rather pay a little extra in
    electricity for that short number of days
    than to come home and nd that some
    rooms are colder than others and there
    was damage, Stone says.
    Another way to increase air ow is to
    open cabinets surrounding pipes, likely
    in the kitchen and bathroom, and keep
    interior doors open.
    Water: Turn off the main valve (usu-
    ally located near the water meter) or, if
    you have well water, turn off the pump.
    Then, turn on an upstairs faucet for
    about 15 seconds to relieve any pressure
    that may have built up in the system and
    that could force water into the house if
    there were a leak. Unless you have frost-
    free spigots, make sure outside spigots
    have been turned off by shutting off the
    inside valve and draining them outside.
    Appliances/Fixtures: If you leave the
    main water valve open, turn off non-
    essential, water-dependent xtures like
    toilets, ice makers, washing machines
    and dishwashers to help prevent a leak if
    a hose or tting fails. Leave the refriger-
    ator on, freeze what you can, and throw
    out or give away perishable food that
    wont last.

    San Rafael and Bay bridges yesterday morning.
    The wind and rain also caused 73 ights to be canceled at
    San Francisco International Airport yesterday morning, an air-
    port duty manager said.
    Most of the cancellations 36 arrivals and 37 departures
    were short-haul ights heading to and from airports in Orange
    County, Monterey, Santa Barbara and other West Coast desti-
    nations, duty manager Nancie Parker said. Arriving ights
    were delayed by as long as three and a half hours.
    Pacic Gas and Electric crews were also at work restoring
    power to a number of cities affected by outages yesterday
    morning, a utility spokesman said.
    The biggest outage was in Pacica, where a downed wire at
    Carmel and Palmetto avenues left 1,120 customers without
    power at about 9:15 a.m., PG&E spokesman Jason King said.
    King said most of yesterday mornings outages were on the
    Peninsula and in the South Bay. In Woodside, an outage
    reported at 9:11 a.m. affected 400 customers, King said.
    And in Half Moon Bay, about 160 customers were without
    power because of an outage reported at about 9:20 a.m., King
    said.
    Because of the all the rain, the National Weather Service is
    warning of possible ooding of small rivers and streams by
    Friday and into the weekend.

    At approximately 3 p.m. Tuesday,
    having obtained a search warrant, sher-
    iffs deputies attempted to make contact
    with Turner by telephoning the resi-
    dence, however, he did not answer their
    calls, according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
    The attempts to make telephone
    contact continued into the evening
    until approximately 9:40 p.m., when
    members of the San Mateo County
    SWAT team in conjunction with the
    Redwood City Police Department
    SWAT team cleared the interior of the
    apartment building.
    Turner, however, was not found in the
    building Tuesday night.
    But police were able to arrest him yes-
    terday morning at his fathers apartment,
    according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
    About four blocks surrounding the
    residence were roped off and residents
    were kept away from their homes for
    some time while police tried to make
    contact with Turner.

    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Now is not the time of year for
    sowing, unless its sowing an idea:
    As the weather turns colder and
    the landscape becomes washed in
    grays and browns, imagine a
    retreat, an oasis of lush greenery
    and brightly colored flowers suf-
    fused in warm, moist air.
    A greenhouse.
    Home or hobby greenhouses
    run the gamut from lavish,
    Victorian-style conservatories to
    primitive structures cobbled
    together from discarded window
    frames. Each creates its own oasis.
    Even my coldframe nothing
    more than a large wooden box with
    a clear plastic cover hints of the
    tropics each time its cover is
    opened.
    For most of us, the greenhouse
    of our dreams would be a spacious
    conservatory, cozy for its abun-
    dance of lush, tropical greenery,
    with enough space among the 6-
    foot-long banana leaves and fra-
    grant citrus blossoms to accommo-
    date a small dining table and
    chairs.
    But lets float back down to real-
    ity. That greenhouse is beyond
    many a gardeners budget, and its
    hard in these environmentally
    aware times to justify heating a
    space enough to keep tropical
    plants happy in winter. Fuel needs
    rise dramatically with each degree
    you ratchet up greenhouse temper-
    ature.
    Then again, newer greenhouse
    coverings, coupled with innovative
    methods of storing excess heat
    generated on sunny days, can go a
    long way to dampening heat loss-
    es.
    Before letting your imagination
    run away with you though, consid-
    er whether youd prefer your
    greenhouse to be freestanding or
    attached to your home.
    A freestanding structure offers
    the most flexibility in design and
    siting, and is bathed in light from
    all four sides. Also, theres no need
    to integrate it with house design,
    or for it to look anything prettier
    than just functional.
    An attached greenhouse requires
    more attention to style but it does
    have some advantages. Cozied up
    against your home, an attached
    greenhouse loses less heat. It can
    tap the heat-storing capacity of the
    homes wall where it is attached,
    especially if that wall is masonry,
    and can even tap into the homes
    heating system.
    On sunny winter days, excess
    heat generated in the greenhouse
    can be vented into your home.
    That moist heat is a lot more com-
    fortable than the dry heat of home
    heating systems, although some
    caution is needed against venting
    too much moisture into your home.
    And getting back to that table
    and chairs that might be squeezed
    into your greenhouse: How likely
    are you to trudge across the snow
    with brunch to your freestanding
    greenhouse? If you have a wall
    facing in a direction that gets
    enough light for the plants you
    want to grow, the attached green-
    house is the one most likely to pro-
    vide living space as well as func-
    tional space.
    Deciding on the greenhouses
    size and what plants it will house
    also can help determine heating
    needs. No need to get into other
    details just yet.
    Let your imagination roam.
    Imagine warmth: Dream about adding a greenhouse
    Cozied up against your home, an attached greenhouse loses less heat. It can tap the heat-storing capacity of the
    homes wall where it is attached,especially if that wall is masonry,and can even tap into the homes heating system.

    The SHOK resolution encourages
    each state to take steps to protect minors
    from efforts that promote or promise to
    change sexual orientation or gender
    identity or expression, based on the
    premise that homosexuality is a mental
    illness or developmental disorder that
    can or should be cured, according to
    Speiers ofce.
    Recently, California Gov. Jerry Brown
    signed Senate Bill 1172, that will protect
    lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
    children from conversion therapies
    intended to alter sexual orientation or
    gender identities and expressions.
    The law goes into effect Jan. 1 and is
    the rst of its kind in the United States.
    California led the nation on this issue
    when ... Brown signed SB 1172, a law
    that prohibits state licensed mental
    health professionals from engaging
    minors in these harmful and abusive
    therapies. ... Brown did the right thing
    and I am urging all states to consider
    similar laws, Speier said at the press
    conference.
    At yesterdays press conference,
    Speier announced the introduction of the
    SHOK resolution as well as her work to
    investigate whether federal funds have
    been spent on the practices.
    Conversion therapy has been rejected
    as scientically invalid by the American
    Psychiatric Association and other mental
    health groups for nearly 40 years,
    according to Speiers ofce.
    Speier is also investigating whether
    federal taxpayer funds were spent on the
    practice of conversion therapy with
    minors through Medicaid or TRICARE
    reimbursements. TRICARE is the health
    care program for uniformed service
    members.
    In my cursory investigation, I have
    found two additional instances of so-
    called mental health professionals that
    advertise these services and appear to be
    eligible for federal dollars. This morn-
    ing, I sent letters of inquiry to Medicaid
    and TRICARE to determine if these
    instances reect systemic weaknesses
    that allow federal taxpayer dollars to go
    to harmful, illegitimate medical servic-
    es, Speier said at the press conference.
    Conversion therapy can have lasting ill
    effects, according to a statement by
    Wayne Besen, founder and executive
    director of Truth Wins Out, an organiza-
    tion that ghts against anti-gay religious
    extremism.
    One of societys most important
    functions is to protect children from the
    exploitation and abuse of predators.
    This is why Truth Wins Out strongly
    supports Rep. Jackie Speiers Stop
    Harming Our Kids (SHOK) resolution.
    It is critical that unethical charlatans be
    held accountable for malice in the guise
    of medicine that often exacts psycho-
    logical wreckage on young clients and
    their families, Besen wrote in a state-
    ment.

    SPEIER
    Rep.Jackie Speier,D-San Mateo,introduced a resolution yesterday to protect young
    people from conversion therapy.
    ence in the Capitol. He, like Obama,
    expressed optimism that a deal could be
    reached.
    At the same time, he publicly dis-
    agreed with one GOP lawmaker, Rep.
    Tom Cole of Oklahoma, who said he
    was ready to go along with Obamas
    plan to renew most but not all of the
    expiring income tax cuts. Itll hurt the
    economy to raise rates for anyone, said
    Boehner.
    Separately, at a closed-door meeting
    with the rank and le, the speaker told
    fellow Republicans they are on solid
    political ground in refusing to let tax
    rates rise. He circulated polling data
    showing the public favors closing loop-
    holes to raise revenue far more than it
    supports raising rates on incomes over
    $250,000.
    There were no face-to-face talks
    between the administration and lawmak-
    ers during the day, although the White
    House is dispatching Treasury Secretary
    Tim Geithner and top legislative aide
    Rob Nabors to a series of sessions with
    congressional leaders on Thursday.
    On Wednesday, a group of corporate
    CEOs pushing for a deal met separately
    with top Democratic and Republican
    leaders in the House, joined by Erskine
    Bowles, who was co-chairman of a
    deficit commission Obama appointed
    earlier in his term.
    Speaking to reporters before a session
    with business leaders, House
    Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of
    California said the bargaining ought to
    begin where deficit talks between
    Obama and Boehner broke down 18
    months ago and go from there to reach
    an agreement.
    She didnt say so, but at the time, the
    two men were exchanging offers that
    called for at least $250 billion in cuts
    from Medicare over a decade, and anoth-
    er $100 billion from Medicaid and other
    federal health programs. Among the
    changes under discussion with
    Obamas approval was a gradual
    increase in the eligibility age for
    Medicare from 65 to 67, as well as high-
    er fees for beneciaries.
    Also on the table at the time was a
    plan to curtail future cost-of-living
    increases for Social Security and other
    benet programs.
    Those negotiations faltered in a hail of
    recriminations after the president upped
    his demand for additional tax revenue
    and conservatives balked. At the same
    time liberals were objecting to savings
    from Medicare and Social Security.
    Now, more than a year and one elec-
    tion later, Obama has said repeatedly he
    is open to alternatives to his current pro-
    posal to raise additional tax revenue. But
    he also says he will refuse to sign legis-
    lation that extends the current top rates
    on incomes over $200,000 for individu-
    als and $250,000 for couples.
    Instead, he is pushing Congress to
    renew expiring tax cuts for all income
    below those levels as an interim measure
    an offer Boehner and Republicans
    generally say is unacceptable because it
    would mean higher taxes on small busi-
    ness owners.
    Bowles said during the day that
    Obama might be willing to back off his
    demand that the top rate revert all the
    way from 35 percent to 39.6 percent,
    where it was a decade ago before tax
    cuts sought by then-President George W.
    Bush took effect.
    At the White House, spokesman Jay
    Carney sidestepped questions. If I told
    you how much exibility the president
    had, it would eliminate his exibility,
    he said.

    tate, or both, of: Wiilliam J. McPartland.
    A Petition for Probate has been filed by
    Frank J. McPartland. in the Superior
    Court of California, County of San Mateo.
    The Petition for Probate requests that

    personal representative to administer the
    estate of the decedent.
    The petition requests authority to admin-
    ster the estate under the Independent
    Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
    thority will allow the personal representa-
    tive to take many actions without obtain-
    ing court approval. Before taking certain
    very important actions, however, the per-
    sonal representative will be required to
    give notice to interested persons unless
    they have waived notice or consented to
    the proposed action.) The independent
    administration authority will be granted
    unless an interested person files an ob-
    jection to the petition and shows good
    cause why the court should not grant the
    authority.
    A hearing on the petition will be held in
    this court as follows: Decenber 14, 2012
    at 9:00 a.m., Dept. Probate, Superior
    Court of California, County of San Mateo,
    400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
    94063. If you object to the granting of
    the petition, you should appear at the
    hearing and state your objections or file
    written objections with the court before
    the hearing. Your appearance may be in
    person or by your attorney. If you are a
    creditor or a contingent creditor of the
    decedent, you must file your claim with
    the court and mail a copy to the personal
    representative appointed by the court
    within four months from the date of first
    issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
    bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
    ing claims will not expire before four
    months from the hearing date noticed
    above. You may examine the file kept by
    the court. If you are a person interested
    in the estate, you may file with the court
    a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
    154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
    praisal of estate assets or of any petition
    or account as provided in Probate Code
    section 1250. A Request for Special No-
    tice form is available from the court clerk.
