$20M kept

Secret funds held for
more than a decade

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Ofcials at the highest levels of the
California Department of Parks and Recreation helped keep
millions of dollars secret for more than a decade, the
California attorney generals ofce said in a report released
Friday.
The report said the intentional non-disclosure continued
because employees feared the departments budget would be
cut if lawmakers found out, and that they would be embar-
rassed about the years of covering it up.
Throughout this period of intentional non-disclosure, some
parks employees consistently requested, without success, that
their superiors address the issue, Deputy Attorney General

Eighteen-year-old Leslie Gomez joined the
Latina Mentoring Program at Mills High
School during her freshman year.
The idea, for her, was to get involved with
the Hispanic culture. But she didnt really
take it seriously that year. It was through
building relationships with women on campus
that she started to see the importance of hav-
ing such a support system.
It was like a little safe haven, Gomez, a
senior who now serves as the clubs president,
said about having an adult mentor on campus.
I liked the idea of having a teacher, not a par-
ent, to talk with.
Gomezs mentor checks in about her
grades, gives suggestions with how to
improve and listens when life gets complicat-
ed. The relationship means Gomez has an
adult who offers support academically but
also personally. Its also given her positive
female role models with whom she interacts
often.
Thats the idea behind the Mills High
School club. Latina Mentoring Program was
started more than 21 years ago with a small
group of girls. It was the idea of a Spanish
teacher, health aide and a parent who wanted
to offer a mentoring program for Latina girls
at Mills. Today, it includes a group of 31
adult, female mentors and more than 50 stu-
dents.
Students are invited to join the club during
their freshman year. Doing so requires a one-
year commitment from students that includes
weekly meetings and at least two monthly

Seven-year-old Garret Tipton has a skateboarding lesson with instructor Johnny Gomez in San Carlos Thursday afternoon.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Narbe Vagharshakian believes you
dont need a paintbrush to make art.
You can use four wheels, a deck and a
sidewalk as your canvas.
A lot of skateboarding has got to do
with self-expression, he said, which,
to me, is a form of art in itself.
And its for that reason that back in
2009 Vagharshakian opened a skate shop
and called it Society that nowadays does
more than just sell skateboards, long-
boards and everything in between.
[Society] really caters to the skate-
boarding industry, said Ara Shakian,
Vagharshakians father and a helper at
Society. Its music, its clothes, its
fashion, its shoes, art and all of the
above combined.
Our customers are very, very loyal,
Vagharshakian said. I think they really
see the value in what were doing for the
community. Thats why so much of our
business is repeat customers. At the
same time, were a very new business
and a lot of people dont know about us.
For those that dont know about the
little skate shop off of Laurel Street in
San Carlos and think a skate shop only
offers grip tape, bearings and slim cut
jeans, Vagharshakian opened Society
with the intention of offering the com-
munity more than just a place to spend
its money.
The response we get from customers
is that this is what this block needed and
weve created such a fun atmosphere,
popping life back into Laurel Street,
Vagharshakian said. Its provided kind
of a hangout, the kids love it here and the
staff connect with the kids.

A familiar face is heading back to lead the
countys Probation Department while court
ofcials work to permanently replace the last
chief who resigned amid a federal investiga-
tion into allegations he was receiving child
pornography through the mail.
Calvin Remington, also known as Cal, has
been appointed interim chief probation ofcer
beginning Jan. 28 and serving until a new per-
manent chief is installed, the San Mateo
County Superior Court announced Friday.
Chief Remington is a known quantity to
the court and our county and can continue to
support our Probation Department while pro-
viding continuity and stability, said John
Fitton, court executive ofcer.
Roy Brasil, who has served as acting chief
since former chief Stuart Forrest was placed
on paid administrative leave in mid-
December, will return to his role as deputy
chief of the institution division.
Remington served as interim chief of the
same department from December 2008 to
May 2009 between the retirement of former
chief Loren Buddress and Forrests appoint-
ment. Remingtons 40-plus years of experi-
ence also includes time as chief probation of-
cer in Ventura County and most recently as
acting chief probation ofcer and chief deputy
probation ofcer for Los Angeles County.
Judge Robert Foiles, incoming chief presid-
ing judge of the San Mateo County Superior
Court, credits both his history and his prior
connection to the county as key factors in the
selection.
Cal Remington is one of the most respect-
ed probation leaders in California, Foiles said
in a prepared statement. He brings a wealth
of experience while his knowledge of San
Mateo County will allow him to hit the ground
running.
Foiles expects the search for a permanent
chief to last approximately six months and
Fitton said it will be both nationwide and
internal. While the search will be open to can-
didates anywhere, Fitton said the position has
some needs unique to California such as the
new realignment requirements.
The chief probation ofcer is appointed by
the Superior Court which is the same body
that removed Forrest Dec. 21 after learning of
the federal investigation on suspicion of pos-
sessing child pornography. Federal agents
served warrants at the Youth Services Center
and conscated computers. The U.S. Postal
Service Inspection Service is the lead agency
in the investigation which indicates they are
looking at material sent through the mail.
On Dec. 31, Forrest resigned effective
immediately via paperwork delivered by a
family member.
Forrest worked for the San Mateo County
Probation Department since November 1977
and was appointed chief in 2009 with a salary
of $140,004. He was the second chief in a row
to exit under rocky circumstances. Buddress
watch included a teenage murder defendant
escaping from juvenile hall with the help of
two other wards and another teenager walking
away from a detention camp and was arrested
for a subsequent murder.
Remington was named 2004 chief probation
ofcer of the year by the Chief Probation
Ofcers of California and is well-versed in
Public Safety Realignment, the 2011 state law
mandating certain low-level ofcers are super-
vised or housed locally rather than the respon-
sibility of the state.
In his interim position, Remington will be
paid $100 per hour on a four-day, 10-hour per
day schedule for no more than 960 hours each
scal year.
He will also receive 40 hours of time off but
no other vacation, holiday or sick leave. He
will also receive a county-owned vehicle and
reimbursed for local housing and transporta-
tion costs between here and Ventura County
up to $5,000 per month.

Yosemite Half Dome cables
will remain, hikers limited
By Tracie Cone
FRESNO The hike up the granite monolith Half Dome in
Yosemite National Park is one of the most iconic in the nation-
wide system, but on Friday ofcials announced approval of a
plan that permanently limits how many can do it.
National Park Service authorities will issue permits to limit
the number of hikers to 300 a day, the target number since an
interim plan was approved in 2010 to reduce congestion in a
wilderness area and make the hike safer.
In a blow to environmental groups, the park also decided to
keep in place the heavy metal cables drilled into the monolith
that hikers use to steady themselves on the 45-degree nal
climb up slick granite. Some groups had argued that handrails
do not belong in a federally designated wilderness area.
With a place like Yosemite that is so dear and important to
millions of people, everyone has ideas about what wilderness
protection is. We tried to nd a balance that allows people to
still experience Yosemite while protecting Yosemite, said
spokeswoman Kari Cobb.
Over the past decade the route had been inundated with up
to 1,200 nature lovers a day seeking to experience the iconic
mountain that is stamped on the California quarter, stitched on
a line of outdoor clothing and painted on the side of the parks
vehicles.

A precious piece of history took
longer to deliver than the Ciolino family
expected.
In November, the daughter of Emma
Starr, previously of San Francisco, was
going through her mothers things. She
came across some mail from 1938 that
she thought her cousins would enjoy
a telegram and postcard from Minnie
and Fred Ciolino about their impromptu
trip to Reno during Christmastime to
elope. However, the mail never arrived.
She mailed it to her cousin, Gail Curran.
Recently, thanks to the police and media
attention, the family has found the miss-
ing mail.
San Carlos resident Christine
Anderson, another daughter to Fred and
Minnie, said the family wondered what
happened but then got busy with the hol-
idays.
The letter had been mailed, but it had
also, unfortunately, been stolen. Mail
theft in San Carlos recently resulted in
police nding thousands of pieces of
undelivered mail in the carriers car and
San Bruno home. Many of the pieces of
mail are slowly being returned to either
the sender or intended recipient.
Daly City police Sr. Detective Joe
Bocci was struck by a 1938 Western
Union telegram from Reno, Nev. that
reads, Arrived safely, no snow but real
cold nice trip be back Monday Merry
Xmas to all. Minnie & Fred.
Stories about the 74-year-old piece of
mail hit local newspapers Wednesday.
By mid-morning, Bocci had a call from
Anderson.
The right thing is done, he said
about the family being reunited with
their history.
The telegram came before a postcard
which announced that the two had
eloped. The postcard has also been lost.
Bocci hopes it will be found in the thou-
sands of loose pieces of mail at the post
ofce related to the case.
Prosecutors say Romeo Maniuli
Natan, 38, of San Bruno, stole thousands
of pieces of mail and was found with
more than 3,000 undelivered pieces at
his home when arrested last month,
according prosecutors. Most of the thefts
occurred in the Devonshire Avenue area
of San Carlos. He is scheduled to a pre-
liminary hearing Feb. 5.
Last week, Edgar Suing Guinto, 41,
pleaded no contest to commercial bur-
glary and identity theft. He will receive
no prison and up to a year in the county
jail when sentenced Jan. 31.
Natan allegedly gave stolen credit
cards for use to Guinto, Marlo Tubig
Lacsamana, 41, and Joel Pineda Lugtu,
31. The other two men will have a hear-
ing Jan. 9.
Natan, Lacsamana and Lugtu are in
custody in lieu of $150,000. Guinto is
held on $100,000 bail.

drilled into Half Dome that hikers use to steady themselves

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Woodside man who earlier
pushed for a speedy trial on charges he
staged his wifes murder as a suicide to
receive millions of dollars in insurance
is now looking to hold off another
month.
Pooroushasb Peter Parineh, 67,
was scheduled to begin trial Jan. 22 to
accommodate his right to prosecution
within 60 days but yesterday the
defense asked for another 30 days.
Judge Jonathan Karesh agreed and
reset the trial for Feb. 25.
Parinehs defense attorney, Dek
Ketchum, previously told the Daily
Journal his client is eager for trial
because of his age and physical condi-
tion.
Parineh is charged
with murder, gun
use and murder for
financial gain.
If convicted, he
faces life in prison
without parole or
the death penalty.
Prosecutors have
yet to formally say
which they will
pursue although the
assumption is they will not seek
death.
Parineh has pleaded not guilty to the
Aug. 13, 2010 death of Parima
Parineh, 56, who was shot twice in the
head in the bedroom of the couples
multi-million dollar home on Fox Hill
Road in Woodside. Parineh allegedly
gave authorities differing stories;
once, he said he found his wife dead
and, another time, that he found her
wounded and finished the job at her
request.
At a preliminary hearing last fall, the
prosecution argued Parineh stood to
benefit from $31 million in life insur-
ance policies and, outside court, said
he also had a longtime mistress.
In April, the Parineh children sued
their father for wrongful death, claim-
ing that she survived the attack for
some period of time before dying as a
result and that they also believe his
purpose in willfully and maliciously
murdering her was to benefit financial-
ly from certain life insurance payouts.
Parineh remains in custody without
bail.

Three Notre Dame High School students, Chase Welch
(15), Rui Zheng (14) and Mavy Arias (13), were each
awarded the Jefferson Award for Public Service during the
advent prayer service Dec. 3. Each of these young ladies
were rewarded on their contributions to the community
through a great deal of service.
Despite being only a sophomore, Welch has already com-
pleted 65 hours of community service through her dedica-
tion to Relay for Life and Sunrise Assisted Living. Zhang,
a junior and transfer student from San Mateo High School,
was selected for a Jefferson Award due to her lifelong dedi-
cation to service in all aspects, including her home, school
and local and global community. Rui has already completed
99 hours and did not even have a requirement to complete
any prior to starting at Notre Dame in August.
Arias, a senior, has currently completed 300 hours of com-
munity service, and her service is far from over. She has
earned the Jefferson Award due to her work with the Shelter
Networks Summer Youth Camp, which has gained her
150 hours this summer.

Obituary
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Sling Media, the Foster City-based
company that makes hardware allowing
users to watch television from a number
of portable devices, will pay $195,000 in
penalties to settle claims it misled cus-
tomers about its warranty and mainte-
nance plans and failed to register as a
service dealer with the state.
The Jan. 4 judgment doesnt require
Slingbox to admit any wrongdoing and,
since the investigation, the company has
attained an A+ rating by the Better
Business Bureau for its handing of cus-
tomer service-related complaints,
according to the San Mateo County
District Attorneys Ofce.
Prosecutor Chuck Finney doesnt
believe the company knowingly led its
customers astray or purposely refused to
honor its warranties.
What we have here is a company that
probably just grew too quickly and peo-
ple were not on top of what they should
be doing, Finney said. The service
department, I think, was not in this coun-
try and there were a lot of problems with
consumers getting proper responses to
problems they had.
Sling Media manufactures the
Slingbox, a device allowing television or
DVR-recorded programs to be watched
remotely on a computer, tablet or phone
via an Internet connection. The device
comes with a one-year warranty that
includes hardware repairs or replace-
ment of a defective product plus free
software updates.
But customers complained the compa-
ny failed to honor its warranty and the
software updates caused the product to
quit working, according to the complaint
led in San Mateo County Superior
Court.
When consumers complained, they
were told to pay $29.99 for help or to
buy a new device.
Sling Media also failed to register with
the California Department of Consumer
Affairs as legally required as an elec-
tronic service dealer and a service con-
tract seller.
The situation was a registration mis-
understanding with the county that is
now resolved, said spokesman Brian
Jaquet.
After the Better Business Bureau
received numerous complaints, it passed
the case to local prosecutors for resolu-
tion.
As part of the settlement, Sling Media
must pay $195,000 in civil penalties and
costs which goes to the District
Attorneys Ofce. The company is also
prohibited from making any false or
misleading statements about warranty
repair, replacement rights and the com-
panys refund policies. Sling Media
must also not offer an extended warran-
ty or service contract or perform any
repair or service until it registers with
the state.
If the company in the next two years
does not resolve the customer com-
plaints to their satisfaction, the company
must also enter into independent media-
tion at its cost, Finney said.
Anyone with further complaints can
contact Finney at 363-4097.

2012 was worst year for
whooping cough since 1955
The nation just suffered its worst
year for whooping cough in nearly
six decades, according to prelimi-
nary government gures.
Whooping cough ebbs and ows
in multi-year cycles, and experts say
2012 appears to have reached a peak
with 41,880 cases. Another factor: A
vaccine used since the 90s doesnt
last as long as the old one.
The vaccine problem may contin-
ue to cause higher than normal case
counts in the future, said Dr. Tom
Clark of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
I think the numbers are going to
trend up, he said. The agency pro-
vided the latest gures on Friday.

WASHINGTON The new
Congress on Friday rushed out $9.7
billion to help pay ood insurance
claims to 115,000 people and busi-
nesses afflicted by Superstorm
Sandy, two days after New Jerseys
governor and other Northeast
Republicans upbraided Speaker
John Boehner for killing a broader
package for state and local govern-
ments in the storms path.
The bill replenishes the National
Flood Insurance Program that was
due to run out of money next week
with the pending Sandy-related
claims as well as 5,000 unresolved
claims from other oods.
Its a small down payment on the
larger aid we need, said Sen.
Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. The legis-
lation cleared the Senate by a voice
vote following passage by the
House, 354-67.
The government already has spent
about $2 billion on the emergency
response to the late October storm,
one of the worst ever in the
Northeast. It slammed the Atlantic
coastline from North Carolina to
Maine, with the worst damage
occurring in New York City and its
suburbs, New Jersey and
Connecticut. The storm is blamed
for 140 deaths.
Boehner has promised a vote Jan.
15 on a broader, $51 billion package
of aid, which would bring the total
to the more than $60 billion request-
ed by President Barack Obama.
Senate leaders have promised a vote
the following week.
Congress approves $9.7B in Sandy aid
By Mary Clare Jalonick
WASHINGTON The Food and
Drug Administration on Friday pro-
posed the most sweeping food safe-
ty rules in decades, requiring farm-
ers and food companies to be more
vigilant in the wake of deadly out-
breaks in peanuts, cantaloupe and
leafy greens.
The long-overdue regulations
could cost businesses close to half a
billion dollars a year to implement,
but are expected to reduce the esti-
mated 3,000 deaths a year from
foodborne illness. Just since last
summer, outbreaks of listeria in
cheese and salmonella in peanut but-
ter, mangoes and cantaloupe have
been linked to more than 400 ill-
nesses and as many as seven deaths,
according to the federal Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. The
actual number of those sickened is
likely much higher.
The FDAs proposed rules would
require farmers to take new precau-
tions against contamination, to
include making sure workers hands
are washed, irrigation water is
clean, and that animals stay out of
fields. Food manufacturers will
have to submit food safety plans to
the government to show they are
keeping their operations clean.
Many responsible food compa-
nies and farmers are already follow-
ing the steps that the FDA would
now require them to take. But of-
cials say the requirements could
have saved lives and prevented ill-
nesses in several of the large-scale
outbreaks that have hit the country
in recent years.
In a 2011 outbreak of listeria in
cantaloupe that claimed 33 lives, for
example, FDA inspectors found
pools of dirty water on the oor and
old, dirty processing equipment at
Jensen Farms in Colorado where the
cantaloupes were grown.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
By Anne Oliva
I
n todays market, seven out of 10
homebuyers must borrow money to buy
a home. For aspiring homeowners who
dont have hundreds of thousands of dollars
in savings to buy a home outright, tax bene-
ts like the home mortgage interest deduc-
tion helps them begin building their future
through homeownership.
Recent discussions at the federal level have
included outright elimination of or changes
to the mortgage interest deduction. This isnt
complicated the mortgage interest deduc-
tion is vital to the stability of the San Mateo
County housing market and economy. Any
change to the mortgage interest deduction
will harm a tenuous economic recovery,
make homeownership less affordable and
reverse a 100-year commitment to housing.
To change this established portion of the
U.S. tax code would be to change the rules in
the middle of a game, resulting in a massive
unexpected redistribution of wealth in the
country as most people itemize the mortgage
interest deduction at some point in their
homeownership.
One of the primary misconceptions is that
only the wealthy benet
from the deduction, when
in reality it benets prima-
rily middle- and lower-
income families. Almost
91 percent of people who
claim the deduction earn
between $50,000 and
$200,000 per year and
two-thirds of those who
claim it are middle-income earners. Isnt the
goal of the president and Congress supposed-
ly not to hurt the middle class?
Because of the capitalization impact of the
expected stream of future mortgage interest
deductions, removing the mortgage interest
deduction would decrease home values (con-
servative estimate) by 15 percent, according
to the National Association of Realtors, and
destroy $2.5 trillion in housing wealth ... and
that includes the wealth of homeowners who
own their homes free and clear. Thats a big
hit on a familys pocketbook any time, but
especially now.
Todays responsible homeowners, who pay
80 percent to 90 percent of the federal
income tax in this country, are already doing
their share. What this country really cannot
afford is to increase the already heavy tax
burden carried by these homeowners; which
will grow if Congress cannot solve the scal
cliff issue prior to the end of the year.
Congress needs to ensure the solution to our
economic dilemma is not balancing the budg-
et on the backs of American homeowners.
The members of the San Mateo County
Association of Realtors (SAMCAR) and the
National Association of Realtors stand with
75 million American homeowners and urge
Congress and President Obama to oppose
any plan that modies or excludes the
deductibility of mortgage interest.
Please call our representatives in Congress
and ask that the mortgage interest deduction
be preserved. Our position is clear: Do no
harm to housing. Leave the mortgage interest
deduction as is.
Anne Oliva is the 2012 president of the San
Mateo County Association of Realtors.
Nice sales pitch!
Editor,
Cathy Brownes guest perspective
Everyone loses under bag bans in the Jan.
3 issue of the Daily Journal is a nice sales
pitch, but as such, is only self-serving. Her
concern is to only save her job and that of
the other 2,000 people in the plastic bag
industry. Her concerns for the environment
are shallow and her comments are not com-
pletely true.
In 1974, while I was employed by the
(original) Lucky Stores (grocery stores) as a
courtesy clerk (aka bagger), Lucky Stores
began using plastic bags in place of the stan-
dard paper bags. Luckys management told
employees that the switch to plastic bags was
just to reduce costs (and increase prots). At
that time, the cost of a paper bag was 2-3
cents per big bags, 1-2 cents for the next size
down, and less for the small bags. We were
told that the cost of the plastic bags was 1/8
of 1 cent each. We were told that the plastic
bags were made of a petroleum based by-
product so they were cheaper to make than
paper bags. We were then given ve minutes
of instructions on how to use the plastic bags
and to always ask each customer paper or
plastic?
Back then, protection of the environment
and recycling did not exist, or at least, wasnt
very popular back then. In the grocery store
industry, since the switch to plastic from
paper bags, a popular saying was, save a
tree, and, adopt an oil spill!
Ms. Browne seems to have her facts mixed
up. Plastic bags are not very biodegradable,
dangerous for wild animals, but, the worse
offense is the current lack of proper dispos-
able of plastic bags in todays society. Thats
the issue Ms. Browne should address. The
simple fact is, paper and reusable bags are
more environmentally friendly.

Hairs the story
Editor,
I loved your article by Julio Lara about the
hairstyles of the not-yet-rich-and-famous
CSM Bulldogs (The Hairy Bunch in the
Dec. 29 edition of the Daily Journal). It
inspired me to write these lyrics, set to the
theme song of The Brady Bunch:
Its the story, of a lovely hairday,
Bringing up those lovely heads of swirls.
All of them has hair so bold, like their
brothers,
The toughest ones in curls.
Hairs the story,
Not about Tom Brady,
Were brushing up on hairdos of our own.
They are Bulldogs,
Playing ball together,
Yet they are not alone.
Then one day when the players met the
Journal,
And they knew that it was much more than
a hunch,
That this group should somehow form a
story,
Thats the way they all became The Hairy
Bunch!
Thanks again for a fun story with great
photos.

Editor,
I didnt read Mr. Schwabs comments in
the Daily Journal but based on the outpour-
ing of rage from the more liberal letter writ-
ers, Im sorry I missed his column. We con-
servatives have been the target of Mr.
Krietmans and Ms. Dimitres poisonous,
insulting articles for years. I didnt demand
they cease and desist. I simply stopped read-
ing them. Freedom of speech is still alive and
well in the San Mateo County ... isnt it?

Countys bag
ordinance in
San Carlos
By Brian A. Moura
I
am writing in response to recent sto-
ries in the Daily Journal about the city
of San Carlos outreach efforts to dis-
cuss San Mateo Countys recent adoption
of a Single-Use Bag
Ordinance and the guest
perspective by Cathy
Browne of Crown Poly
on this proposal in the
Jan. 3 edition of the
Daily Journal. I appreci-
ate the Daily Journals
work in keeping San
Carlos residents and our
local businesses informed about this topic
and the countys model ordinance.
After holding a successful outreach meet-
ing attended by a number of San Carlos
residents, the city is now conducting a sur-
vey of more than 100 retailers in San
Carlos to get their views about the pro-
posed ordinance. Once that retailer survey
is complete, a full report will be made to
the City Council in late January or in early
February. The report will assist the council
as they consider whether or not to adopt the
model Single-Use Bag Ordinance for retail-
ers in San Carlos. As with our earlier work
on this topic, the report to the council will
include arguments for and against such an
ordinance as well as the feedback we have
received from San Carlos residents and
businesses on the proposal.
Today, all 18 cities in San Mateo County
that have retailers as well as six more cities
in Santa Clara County are also considering
adopting this model ordinance. This will
ensure that there is a regional approach to
single-use bag regulation in Silicon Valley.
To date, city councils in eight cities
(South San Francisco, Pacifica, Belmont,
Mountain View, Daily City, Portola Valley,
Colma and Foster City) have already joined
the county in adopting the model ordi-
nance. The ordinance will come before
most of the remaining cities, including San
Carlos, in January and February to allow
for an effective date on Earth Day this
April.
Its also worth noting that even compa-
nies that make plastic shopping bags, like
Crown Poly (based in Huntingon Park), are
now also selling reusable shopping bags to
retailers. They realize that the priorities and
sensibilities of todays residents and cus-
tomers are changing and they are respond-
ing to the market accordingly.
In closing, I would note that the city is
always interested in listening and respond-
ing to the comments of our residents and
businesses. We have heard the publics
interest in such an ordinance coming to San
Carlos. That helps explain why adopting a
Single-Use Bag Ordinance has been part of
the San Carlos City Councils Strategic
Plan Objectives since February 2011 and
why we are exploring such an ordinance
today. When the matter comes before the
San Carlos City Council in a few weeks,
everyone is invited to attend and share their
views with the council before they discuss
and ultimately vote on bringing the coun-
tys model ordinance on Single-Use
Shopping Bags to San Carlos.
Brian A. Moura is the assistant city manager
for the city of San Carlos.

NEW YORK The Standard &
Poors 500 closed at its highest level in
five years Friday after a report showed
that hiring held up in December, giving
stocks an early lift.
The S&P 500 finished up 7.10 points
at 1,466.47, its highest close since
December 2007.
The index began its descent from a
record close of 1,565.15 in October
2007, as the early signs of the financial
crisis began to emerge.
The index bottomed out in March
2009 at 676.53 before staging a recov-
ery that has seen it more than double in
value and move to within 99 points of
its all-time peak.
The remarkable recovery has come
despite a halting recovery in the U.S.
economy as the Federal Reserve pro-
vided huge support to the financial sys-
tem, buying hundreds of billions of
dollars worth of bonds and holding
benchmark interest rates near zero.
Last month the Fed said it would keep
rates low until the unemployment rate
improved significantly.
Without the Federal Reserve doing
what they did for the last few years,
there would be no way youd be near
any of these levels in the index, said
Joe Saluzzi, co-head of equity trading
at Themis Trading. I would call this
the Fed-levitating market.
The Dow Jones industrial average
finished 43.85 points higher at
13,435.21. It gained 3.8 percent for the
week, its biggest weekly advance since
June. The Nasdaq closed up 1.09 point
at 3,101.66.
Stocks have surged this week after
lawmakers passed a bill to avoid a
combination of government spending
cuts and tax increases that have come
to be known as the fiscal cliff. The
law passed late Tuesday night averted
that outcome, which could have pushed
the economy back into recession.
The Labor Department said U.S.
employers added 155,000 jobs in
December, showing that hiring held up
during the tense fiscal negotiations in
Washington. It also said hiring was
stronger in November than first
thought. The unemployment rate held
steady at 7.8 percent.
The jobs report failed to give stocks
more of a boost because the number of
jobs was exactly in line with analysts
forecasts, said JJ Kinahan, chief deriv-
atives trader for TD Ameritrade.
The jobs report couldnt have been
more in line, Kinahan said. The mar-
ket had more to lose than to gain from
it.
Among stocks making big moves, Eli
Lilly and Co. jumped $1.84, or 3.7 per-
cent, to $51.56 after saying that its
earnings will grow more than Wall
Street expects, even though the drug-
maker will lose U.S. patent protection
for two more product types this year.
Walgreen Co., the nations largest
drugstore chain, fell 61 cents, or 1.6
percent, to $37.18 after the company
said that a measure of revenue fell
more than analysts had expected in
December, even as prescription counts
continued to recover.
Stocks may also be benefiting as
investors adjust their portfolios to favor
stocks over bonds, said TD
Ameritrades Kinahan. A multi-year
rally in bonds has pushed up prices for
the securities and reduced the yield that
they offer, in many cases to levels
below company dividends.
Goldman Sachs reaffirmed its view
that stocks can be an attractive source
of income, and warned that there is a
risk that bonds may fall. In a note to
clients, the investment bank said that
an index of AAA rated corporate bonds
offers a yield of just 1.6 percent, less
than the S&P 500s dividend yield of
2.2 percent.
The 10-year Treasury note fell, push-
ing its yield higher. The yield on the
10-year note fell 2 basis points to 1.91
percent. The notes yield has now
climbed 52 basis points since falling to
its lowest in at least 20 years in July.

Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Friday on the New
York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market:

Eli Lilly and Co., up $1.84 at $51.56

Big movers
Kilar to quit as CEO of Hulu by March
LOS ANGELES Jason Kilar will step down by the end
of March as the chief executive of Hulu, the online video
service owned by the parents of ABC, NBC and Fox.
Kilar, 41, broke the news to staff in an email, which he
posted on the Hulu blog on Friday. While he didnt state a
reason, the video site has been losing money despite post-
ing nearly $700 million in revenue last year. But its grow-
ing fast, and added 200,000 paying subscribers in the last
seven days alone, Kilar said. Last month, the company said
it had more than 3 million subscribers.
The companys CEO since its founding in 2007, Kilar has
at times clashed with Hulus owners over strategy. Spawned
in part as a bid to offset Internet piracy, Hulu got its start
showing reruns of ABC, NBC and Fox shows free on the
Web with minimal advertising, and added a $10-per-month
subscription tier in June 2010 that expanded the back cata-
log.
The price of a subscription to Hulu Plus was cut to $8 a
few months later, but a paid plan is necessary for viewers
who wish to watch shows on tablets, phones, or Internet-
connected TV sets. Its unclear if Kilars resignation signals
a change in strategy, but it could be a good opportunity for
the companies to implement changes.
Two people familiar with the matter said the move was
not surprising, partly because Kilar is ush with cash after
being paid about $40 million for his stake in the company in
a sale that coincided with Providence Equity Partners sell-
ing its 10 percent stake for $200 million late last year. The
people spoke on condition of anonymity because they were
not authorized to speak publicly.
Tiny Chevrolet Sonic helps Detroit shake off rust
DETROIT When the word reached the Orion
Assembly Plant, it spread along the serpentine assembly
line like news of a death or natural disaster: General Motors,
the biggest automaker in the world, had led for bankrupt-
cy protection.
On that grim day in 2009, Chevrolet and Pontiac sedans
kept rolling down the line. And 1,700 worried workers
stayed at their stations even as GM announced it would
close the plant in a desperate bid to survive.
The unknown was the scariest part, recalled Gerald
Lang, who had worked at Orion for two years installing
dashboards and doors. We really had no clue what was
going to happen.
There was something else that the workers didnt know:
They were witnessing the opening act of one of the greatest
recovery stories in American business.
Nearly four years later, Chevrolets are still moving down
the assembly line under the plants 82-acre roof. Lang and
his co-workers now build the Sonic, the best-selling sub-
compact car in the nation. Its a vehicle no one thought
could be made protably in the U.S., by a company that few
people thought would last.
But GM has not only survived, it has earned $16 billion
in prots in the past three years.
Business briefs
By Paul Wiseman
and Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON The U.S. job mar-
ket proved resilient in December despite
fears that a budget impasse in
Washington would send the economy
over the scal cliff and trigger growth-
killing tax hikes and spending cuts.
Employers added 155,000 jobs last
month, roughly matching the solid but
unspectacular monthly pace of the past
two years.
The gains announced Friday werent
enough to reduce unemployment, which
remained a still-high 7.8 percent. The
November rate was revised up a notch
from the 7.7 percent the government had
originally reported.
The stable pace of December hiring
suggested that many employers tuned
out the fracas in the nations capital. The
threat wasnt averted until a deal won
nal passage on New Years Day.
Rather than hold back until the scal
cliff was resolved, many employers kept
hiring, most likely in anticipation of
higher customer demand.
What would hiring have been if we
had not been facing the scal cliff in
December? said Robert Kavcic, senior
economist at BMO Capital Markets.
We might have seen quite a bit stronger
job growth something closer to
200,000 a month.
Thats an encouraging sign for the job
market, because an even bigger budget
showdown is looming: Congress must
vote to raise the governments $16.4 tril-
lion borrowing limit by late February. If
not, the government risks defaulting on
its debt. Republicans will likely demand
deep spending cuts as the price of raising
the debt limit.
Robust hiring in construction and
manufacturing drove last months job
increases. Construction firms added
30,000 jobs, the most in 15 months. In
part, that increase likely reected hiring
needed to rebuild from Superstorm
Sandy. And the housing markets grad-
ual recovery has energized homebuild-
ing. Manufacturers added 25,000 jobs,
the most in nine months.
Economists found other hopeful news
in the report. Americans were given
more work hours in December an
average 34.5 hours a week in December,
up from 34.4 in November. And their
pay outgrew ination. Hourly wages
rose 7 cents to $23.73 last month, a 2.1
percent increase compared with a year
earlier. Over the same period, ination
rose 1.8 percent.

NEW YORK Is Targets grocery
aisle ready for its close up?
Target is pushing its food, laundry
detergent and other groceries in a nation-
al ad campaign that pokes fun at high-
fashion advertising by featuring models
interacting with everyday products.
In one ad, a model in a white dress and
high heels struts by blueberry mufn and
cake mix boxes that explode in different
colors. Then she crushes an egg with her
hand.
Dominate that PTA bake sale, a
voiceover whispers. The Everyday
Collection. By Target.
The campaign is part of a larger move
by Target, better known for its cheap-
chic clothing and home goods, to focus
more on its grocery-store aisle. Wal-
Mart Stores Inc. and other Target com-
petitors also have been expanding their
selection of groceries to lure more cus-
tomers into stores.
For its part, Target has been expanding
its grocery selection, particularly with
investments in its P-Fresh fresh-food
section. Out of its 1,782 stores, about
1100 have an expanded fresh food lay-
out and more than 250 have a full gro-
cery store.
With that push complete, Target decid-
ed the time was right to put the focus on
its groceries, but in a way that still plays
on Targets fashion know how, said chief
marketing ofcer Jeff Jones.
Target, with ad agency Mono in
Minneapolis, created the tongue-in-
cheek campaign that treats groceries and
home products like fashion accessories
in a photo shoot.

SAN FRANCISCO The makers of
Blekko believe theyve built a great alter-
native to Google, but theyre also realistic.
They know their two-year-old Internet
search engine wont ever supplant Google
as the most popular place to search on lap-
top and desktop computers.
But Web surng on tablet computers is
a different matter, creating an opportunity
that Blekko hopes to exploit with a new
product called Izik a search engine
designed especially for Apple Inc.s iPads
and tablets running on Googles Android
software. Izik, whose name is a riff on
17th-century scientist Isaac Newton,
debuted Friday with the release of free
apps for the iPad and Android tablets.
To cater to the more visual format of
tablets, Izik displays search results in rows
of information capsules that can be easily
scrolled with a swipe of a nger. Users
scroll vertically to look at different cate-
gories related to a search request.
Scrolling horizontally displays more cap-
sules within each category, which vary
depending on the request.
Blekko CEO and founder Rich Skrenta
likens the experience to a hybrid service
that is part search engine, part magazine
and part discovery tool.

If there is one things we learned from what transpired last
season in the Peninsula Athletic Leagues Bay Division, its
that its boys soccer champion can come out of nowhere.
And so eight teams venture into next weeks start of the
2013 regular season hoping to duplicate what defending co-
champion San Mateo High School did last year shock the
soccer world by picking up a division title a year after win-
ning the Ocean crown and earning ascension to the leagues
top division.
And then using that momentum to win a share of the
Central Coast Sections Division II championship.
One year can make a big difference, said Woodside head
coach Darrell Ringman. I think San Mateo demonstrated
that last year. Its hard to anticipate what to expect.
One things for sure in the PAL: Theres a lot of repower
to replace. And initial returns are that the divisions top con-
tenders have the tools to reload instead of rebuild.
Take reigning champion San Mateo as exhibit A. Gone are
four of the teams leaders, including San Mateo Daily Journal
Boys Soccer Player of the Year Benny Angeles.
Its big shoes to ll, said San Mateo head coach Chuck
Callaghan. Theyre really hard to replace. The seniors this
year, its their turn.
The weight of that leadership falls on players like center-
back and defensive standout Kent Turtletaub, along with
midelder Ryan Onizuka. Larry Campbell, also a defender,
will have a large part in that.
Offensively, the Bearcats look to be pretty steady with
Onizuka pulling the strings in the mideld and a skilled Rony
Guzman to his side. Sophomore Alejandro Mendoza appears
to be the real deal as a striker while players like Ezequiel
Sandoval-Valerio and Ricardo Molina will prove invaluable
for Callaghans team.
Were deeper this year. Its more of an even quality,
Callaghan said. [But] we have to replace the senior leaders
that we lost last year. The senior leaders have to step up and
do the same, great job, not just playing, but leading the team

The Carlmont and Jefferson boys basket-
ball teams are on the opposite ends of the
spectrum.
Carlmont came into the nal non-league
game of the preseason with a 10-1 record,
while Jefferson was saddled with a 2-9 mark.
But for a half, it appeared those records were
reversed. Jefferson played extremely well in
taking a 20-19 lead at halftime.
In the second half, however, the real
Carlmont showed up. The Scots outscored the
Indians 40-22 over the nal 16 minutes to post
a 59-42 win in Belmont Friday evening.
Jefferson played very well, said Carlmont
coach Dave Low. The rst three, four min-
utes of the rst quarter, we didnt have that
same re (that led us to a 10-1 mark).
Carlmont (11-1 overall) spent the rst half
settling for long-range jumpers and the small-
er Indians did a good job of limiting the Scots

CONCORD De La Salle High School
coach Bob Ladouceur is retiring after 34
years, ending a run that included a national
record 151-game winning streak from 1992 to
2003 and 20 unbeaten seasons.
Ladouceur said at a news conference at the
school in San Franciscos East Bay on Friday
that it was just a good time to step down.
Assistant Justin Alumbaugh will take over as
the Spartans head coach.
Ladouceur leaves with a 399-25-3 record,
ve state championships and 28 North Coast
titles. De La Salle also nished No. 1 in vari-
ous national rankings at least seven times.
The school won its fourth straight CIF State
Open Division Championship with a 48-28
victory against Corona Centennial on Dec. 15.
The program hasnt lost to a Northern
California team since 1991.
The 58-year-old Ladouceur took over at De
La Salle in 1979 with no head coaching expe-
rience. He coached several players who went
on to the NFL careers, including Maurice
Jones-Drew, Amani Toomer, Derek Landri and
D.J. Williams.

With several graduated members of last sea-
sons historic, Central Coast Section-winning
San Mateo boys soccer team sitting and
watching the game from the Aragon stands,
Alejandro Mendoza gave his former team-
mates a glimpse into the future.
And the future looks very bright.
Mendoza, only a sophomore, showed an
impeccable nose for goal, scoring three times
in leading the Bearcats to a 4-1 win over
Aragon High School to close out the San
Mateo non-league schedule. Mendoza came
up to the varsity team last season during the
Bearcats run at a CCS co-championship and
has already assumed the role of the Bearcats
most dangerous offensive player.
I felt pretty good and tired, Mendoza said.
And Im always nervous because Im the
youngest one.
Hes playing really well, said San Mateo
head coach Chuck Callaghan, adding that the
youngster picked up the proverbial game ball
going on two straight games now.
The acknowledgment is well-deserved
given the impact the sophomore has had on a
veteran Bearcats team that has hopes of
defending its Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division title.
Its a new year, Callaghan said. Teams
change every year. Some teams get stronger. I
dont think they feel any pressure. Not at this

SANTA CLARA The San
Francisco 49ers are preparing for next
weeks division-round playoff game
as if they already know their oppo-
nent.
With a rst-round bye a trio of San
Francisco scout teamers wore the jer-
seys numbers of key Green Bay
Packers during Fridays practice.
They simulated top Green Bay wide
receivers Randall Cobb and Jordy
Nelson along with tight end
Jermichael Finley as third-string 49ers
quarterback Scott Tolzien tossed pass-
es.
Theres denitely some game
planning going on, said tight Garrett
Celek, who swapped his usual No. 81
jersey for a red No. 88, which is
Finleys number.
Still, were not sure who were
going to play. But since we have this
week, were taking advantage of it and
getting certain things ready for what-
ever happens next week.
The Packers, seeded third in the
NFC, host No. 6 Minnesota on
Saturday night. If Green Bay beats the
Vikings, the Packers will play at San
Francisco on Jan. 12.
Otherwise the 49ers (11-4-1) will
host the winner of Sundays game
between fourth-seeded Washington
and No. 5 Seattle.
Among the other 49ers in different
uniform numbers: Chad Hall wore
No. 18 (Cobb) and Ricardo Lockette
dressed in No. 87 (Nelson).
Its denitely helpful. Weve faced
those guys before and we have a
potential of seeing those guys again,
Pro Bowl safety Dashon Goldson
said.
Typically, Ed Donatell, who coach-
es the secondary, and other defensive
assistants bring practice squad wide
receivers, tight ends and running
backs into meetings to teach players
tendencies of San Franciscos oppo-
nent that week. Offensive assistants
will do the same for defensive players
tagged for the look team.
Players will take that knowledge
onto the practice eld against the rst-
team offense and defense to prepare
the starters for the game. If nothing
else, it gets players used to seeing the
routes and numbers of their upcoming
opponent.
The only difference this week is that
the 49ers dont actually have an oppo-
nent.
I think its really important. We
have all this time off, so you might as
well take advantage of it, said Celek,
the brother of Philadelphia Eagles
tight end Brent Celek.
I think to just sit on our butts and
do nothing wouldnt be very smart.
Weve got to get ahead of the curve
and I think this is a good way to do it.
While the 49ers wont practice
again until Monday, players will be
tuned into this weekends games.
Players said theyll be watching as
casual observers, leaving the scouting
for the lm coaches to break down
when they return to 49ers headquar-
ters.
They also said it doesnt make a dif-
ference what team they face, though
Washington would be the only possi-
ble opponent San Francisco hasnt
seen yet.
The 49ers won 30-22 at Green Bay
in Week 1. They split both games
against the Seahawks, winning 13-6 in
Week 7 at San Francisco and falling
42-13 at Seattle in Week 16 the
most lopsided loss of coach Jim
Harbaughs two-year tenure.
Its all about consistency, left
tackle Joe Staley said. Youve got to
do it again. What you did last time
doesnt mean anything going into next
game. We just have to continue to
improve. We just got to be consistent
and do it again. Thats the challenge
each and every week is just to build on
any successes you had last week and
change anything you didnt do well
the week before. Thats our focus.

NFL teams have no fear of playing in
the wild-card round.
Recent history shows the playoff bye
isnt such a big deal anymore. In six of
the last seven years, one of the Super
Bowl participants didnt get a bye to
begin the postseason. And ve of those
teams wound up winning the NFL title.
So Green Bays blowing the bye by
losing to Minnesota last Sunday might
not be such a setback. Same for
Houston, which had an even bigger fall,
fumbling away home-eld advantage
throughout the AFC playoffs as well as
the week off, by losing three of its last
four.
Of course, Texans coach Gary
Kubiak recognizes the week-to-week
nature of pro football, and how things
can change quickly in seven days
and last for a month, right to a champi-
onship.
Thats life, and thats part of foot-
ball, Kubiak said. Howd you play
last week? How have you played the
last few weeks? What have you done
lately? Thats our world. We understand
that, and it hasnt been good the last few
weeks, so hopefully we get it better.
Nobody knows how to achieve that
improvement more than the Packers.
Two years ago, they barely squeezed
into the Super Bowl chase, then raced
to three road victories and, nally, a title
win over Pittsburgh.
Id have preferred a week off, to be
honest with you, Packers receiver
Jordy Nelson said. But we put our-
selves in this situation throughout the
whole year. Its not just this last game.
This last game had a lot riding on it
for us, so ... were going to go play.
Whatever it takes, we just have to win
from here on out.
That begins Saturday night at
Lambeau Field against Minnesota. Had
the Packers beaten the Vikings last
Sunday, they would be sitting at home
this weekend watching the Bears play
at San Francisco. Instead, they will
trudge onto the tundra to face rushing
king Adrian Peterson, who ran around,
through and over them for 199 yards to
get the Vikings into the playoffs.
The Vikings had no chance for a bye;
they never really were in the chase for
the NFC North title. Theyre just glad to
be in the tournament, knowing that the
Steelers, Colts, Packers and Giants
(twice) recently covered the lengthier
route to the NFL championship.

AUSTIN, Texas The New York Times
reported Friday that Lance Armstrong, who
has strongly denied the doping charges that
led to him being stripped of his seven Tour de
France titles, has told associates he is consid-
ering admitting to the use of performance-
enhancing drugs.
The report cited anonymous sources and
said Armstrong was considering a confession
to help restore his athletic career in triathlons
and running events at age 41. Armstrong was
been banned for life from cycling and cannot
compete in athletic events sanctioned by the
U.S. Anti-Doping Agency and the World Anti-
Doping Agency.
Yet Armstrong attorney Tim Herman denied
that Armstrong has reached out to USADA
chief executive Travis Tygart and David
Howman, director general of the World Anti-
Doping Agency.
Herman told The Associated Press he had
no knowledge of Armstrong considering a
confession and said: When, and if, Lance has
something to say, there wont be any secret
about it.
Armstrong, who recovered from testicular
cancer that had spread to his lungs and brain,
won the Tour de France from 1999-2005.
Although he has vehemently denied doping,
Armstrongs athletic career crumbled under
the weight of a massive report by USADA
detailing allegations of drug use by Armstrong
and his teammates on his U.S. Postal Service
teams.
The report caused Armstrong to lose most of
his personal corporate sponsors and he recent-
ly stepped down from the board of Livestrong,
the cancer-fighting charity he founded in
1997.
Armstrong is facing other legal hurdles.
The U.S. Department of Justice is consider-
ing whether to join a federal whistle-blower
lawsuit led by former Armstrong teammate
Floyd Landis. A Dallas-based promotions
company has also said it wants to recover sev-
eral million dollars paid to Armstrong in
bonuses for winning the Tour de France. The
British newspaper The Sunday Times has sued
Armstrong to recover $500,000 paid to him to
settle a libel lawsuit.
Armstrong weighs
doping admission
SALT LAKE CITY California knew its
opening stretch of Pac-12 games was going to
be tough.
Friday night was an indication as the No. 7
Golden Bears survived a furious Utah rally to
hold on for a 55-50 victory in the teams con-
ference opener.
We struggled to score in the second half
and honestly thats a concern, but I knew it
was going to be a tight game, Cal coach
Lindsay Gottlieb said. I like the way we
responded down the stretch.
After Utah pulled within four points with
2:34 remaining on Michelle Plouffes pull-up
jumper, the Bears forced the Utes into a pair
of misses.
Cal then made 8 of 10 free throws down the
stretch to seal the win.
The Utes missed opportunities early in the
second half were critical after they held Cal
scoreless over the rst six minutes but man-
aged just six points of their own.
We stopped them time after time, Utah
coach Anthony Levrets said. With a team
thats athletic, you have to make sure you have
good long possessions and make them guard
you and hope that you can make a few. We
missed some easy ones, but Cal gets a lot of
credit. They are a very talented athletic
group.
Layshia Clerendon led Cal with 18 points
and Afure Jemerigbe had 13, including 11 in
the rst half when she hit 5 of 6 shots.
We feel like were a team that has ve
threats to score at any time,Gottlieb said.
Afure really just took what was there.
Tonight they focused on loading the paint to
stop penetration by Brittany Boyd and our
post players. . Shes a big-time guard and to
have her be able to step up when we needed
was important.
In the second half, the key were back-to-
back 3-pointers by Clerendon and Boyd fol-
lowed by Gennifer Brandons short baseline
jumper that bumped Cals lead to 13 and
forced the Utes into rally mode.
Plouffe scored 16 points to lead Utah (9-3,
0-1), which trailed by 13 points with 6:10
remaining before pulling within three in the
closing seconds. Taryn Wicijowskis jumper
with 2 seconds left cut the Utes decit to 53-
50, but Jemerigbe was fouled and sank both
free throws to seal the win.
Iwalani Rodrigues and Wicijowski had 11
points apiece for Utah.
Boyd added 11 points to help the Golden
Bears (11-1, 1-0) get the programs 600th vic-
tory and gain momentum heading into
Sundays game at No. 20 Colorado.
After that, they face No. 4 Stanford at home
Tuesday followed by a rematch with the
Cardinal in Palo Alto the following Sunday.
After a home game against USC, they face
No. 16 UCLA and a second round of games
against Colorado and Utah.
The Bears already are off to their best start
in program history, their only loss coming at
No. 4 Duke on Dec. 2. They have quality wins
over Georgetown and Kansas.
And now they have won their conference
opener for the rst time since 2008-09 the
year they reached the round of 16 in the
NCAA tournament.
We have a pretty complete team, Gottlieb
said. We can score in the paint, on the
perimeter. What we dont want to go through
are lulls.
Clerendon leads No. 7 Cal over Utah
Johnny Football shines in A&M win
ARLINGTON, Texas Johnny Manziel
tiptoed the sideline for a 23-yard touchdown
on Texas A&Ms rst drive of the game.
The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback
known as Johnny Football and the 10th-
ranked Aggies were just getting warmed up in
the Cotton Bowl. There were plenty more
highlights after that nifty run.
In his rst game since becoming the rst
freshman to win the Heisman, Manziel set a
Cotton Bowl-record with 516 total yards and
accounted for four TDs as the Aggies capped
their rst SEC season with a 41-13 win over
12th-ranked Oklahoma on Friday night.
With rst-year coach Kevin Sumlin and
their young star quarterback, the Aggies (11-
2) t right in with the SEC after leaving the
Big 12. They broke the SEC record with their
7.261 total yards this season (the rst over
7,000 after 633 in Cowboys Stadium). They
also averaged more than 40 points a game.
And they capped their debut season with an
overwhelming victory in the only postseason
game matching teams from those power con-
ferences. It is the Aggies rst 11-win season
since 1998, when they won their only Big 12
title.
The chants of S-E-C!, S-E-C! began after
Manziels 33-yard TD pass to Ryan Swope
with 4 minutes left in the third quarter for a
34-13 lead. They got louder and longer after
that.
Texas A&M led by only a point at halftime,
but scored on its rst three drives of the sec-
ond half on drives of 91 and 89 yards
before Swopes score on a fourth-and-5 play.
Oklahoma (10-3), which like the Aggies
entered the game with a ve-game winning
streak, went three-and-out on its rst three
drives after halftime.
SEC teams have won the last ve Cotton
Bowls, all against Big 12 teams, and nine out
of 10. That included Texas A&Ms loss to
LSU only two years ago.
Manziel set an FBS bowl record with his
229 yards rushing on 17 carries, and complet-
ed 22 of 34 passes for 287 yards.
Oklahoma, led by quarterback Landry Jones
in his 50th career start, had only 312 total
yards as a team.
Jones completed 35 of 48 passes for 278
yards with a touchdown and an interception.
He won 39 games and three bowls for the
Sooners, in a career that started on the same
eld in the 2009 season opener when he
replaced injured Heisman winner Sam
Bradford in the rst college game played at
Cowboys Stadium.
Already with a 24-yard gain on an earlier
third down, the Aggies had third-and-9 on
their opening drive when Manziel rolled to his
left and took off. When he juked around a
defender and got near the sideline, he tiptoed
to stay in bounds and punctuated his score
with a high-step over the pylon for a quick
lead.
Ofcials reviewed the touchdown play, but
it was clear by the replay shown on the huge
video screen above the Cowboys Stadium
eld that Manziel stayed in bounds.
to just one shot as Jefferson (2-10) consistently
gobbled up rebounds. Jefferson out-rebounded
the Scots 17-10 in the rst half.
The Scots were a lot more aggressive on
offense in the second half, constantly driving to
the basket for layups. The Scots connected on
14 of 24 attempts in the second half and In the
fourth quarter, Carlmont was on re, connect-
ing on 8 of 12 shots.
And that rebounding advantage Jefferson
enjoyed in the rst half? Well, that turned
around in a hurry as the Scots grabbed 15
rebounds in the second half to just six for the
Indians.
Teams that are physically bigger us than us
tend to wear us down, said Jefferson coach
Nick Paras. I thought [the Scots] stepped up
their game as well and started hitting their
shots.
Carlmonts leading scorer, Yash Malik, was
held in relative check by Jefferson, as the
Indians held him to just 13 points. It was
Michael Costello who picked up the slack,
scoring a game-high 21. He scored 16 in the
second half and had 14 of those in the fourth
quarter.
After making a bad pass seconds into the
third quarter, Low sat Costello. There was noth-
ing to be said to Costello, Low said, but he was
a different player when he returned to the game.
I dont think he came out in the rst half and
played the way he can play, Low said, as
Costello had ve points in the rst two quarters.
When he got back in (after the quick hook), he
was able to regroup and play the way hes capa-
ble of playing.
Costello showed the ability that can make
him a tough player to guard. He hit back-to-
back driving layups to open the fourth quarter,
pushing Carlmonts lead to 10, 41-31. He later
drained a pair of 3-pointers and also got out in
front on the fast break for an easy layup.
In the rst half, however, the Scots looked
nothing like the team that had lost only once
during the preseason and went 3-0 at the Slam
Tournament in San Diego. After scoring the
rst basket of the game on a Malik bucket off
dribble penetration, the Scots watched as
Jefferson ran off the next nine points to lead 9-
2 with 2:06 left in the rst quarter. Carlmont
responded by going on a 8-0 run to end the
quarter up 10-9.
Jefferson, however, continued its strong play
in the second quarter. A 3-pointer from Romier
Marag gave the Indians a 14-13 lead and a
bucket by Troy Sanchez put Jefferson up 20-19
at halftime.
Carlmont, however, started the third quarter
with a 7-0 run to take the lead for good, 26-20.
Jefferson did not go down without a ght and
the Indians trailed by just six points, 37-37,
when Rensie Balla knocked a 3-pointer with 27
seconds left in the third quarter.
That would be as close as the Indians would
get. The Scots opened the nal period with a 6-
0 run to push their lead to 43-31 and were never
seriously threatened the rest of the way.
Despite the loss, Paras was encouraged by
the fact his undersized team hung with the
Scots, who are poised to make a run at the
Peninsula Athletic League South Division title.
Those guys (Carlmont) are 11-1 and are
probably going to be in the running for the
South title, Paras said. For us to be able to
play three quarters with them, to be down only
seven (after three quarters), is an accomplish-
ment for our guys.
We know El Camino and Westmoor and
Half Moon Bay are the three top teams (in the
PAL North). But you never know about that
fourth spot.

point. Theyve been playing well so far.
San Mateo has been playing well because of
its defense and Friday afternoon against Aragon
was no exception. It took a superb cross by the
Dons Aldo Severson and exquisite nish by
Ranier Plantinos on a one-time volley for San
Mateo to surrender only its second goal of the
year.
The Plantinos goal came ve minutes after
Mendoza opened the scoring off a defensive
mistake by the Dons. No. 19 had to elude a
charging Aragon goalkeeper, poke the ball to his
left and then dive feet rst to get it into the net for
a 1-0 lead.
Severson, who sat out the majority of the pre-
season recuperating from a shoulder injury he
suffered while playing football for the Dons, was
very effective in limited minutes. As far as cross-
es into the box are concerned, they dont come
any better than his in the 23rd minute.
But two minutes after Platinos strike,
Mendoza used his head to ip a Ryan Onizuka
pass over a charging goalkeeper and converging
defender, then shielded another Don off the ball
as he guided it past the goal line for a 2-1 advan-
tage the Bearcats took into recess.
We felt pretty good, Mendoza said of the
offense. Better than usual.
Defensively, the Bearcats didnt allow much
more after the Platinos volley.
I think we could do better on our corner
kicks, Callaghan. We werent setting up right
and made them harder than they need to be. But
generally, in the run of play, our defense played
great. And we have great players on defense. I
expect our defense to be strong again.
Mendozas hat trick was complete 25 minutes
into the second half when he fought off three
Aragon defenders just long enough inside the
penalty to cock back his left leg and send a laser
into the Aragon net.
Nine minutes later, Rony Guzman capped off
the San Mateo scoring when he beat the Aragon
goalkeeper from a seated position, getting just
enough on the ball to nd its home in the net.

Sides in NHL labor
fight meet with mediator
NEW YORK The NHL and the players
association met separately with a federal
mediator throughout Friday morning and well
into the afternoon with no sign that they
would return to the bargaining table anytime
soon.
Federal mediator Scot Beckenbaugh has
been shuttling back and forth between the
hotel in which the union is working, and the
league ofce. As of late afternoon, the sides
had made no plans to get together.
After marathon talks that lasted deep into
Wednesday night, the sides have remained
apart with the exception of two smaller meet-
ings on Thursday.
The lockout reached its 111th day Friday,
and the sides have only one week to reach a
deal on a collective bargaining agreement that
would allow for a 48-game hockey season
the minimum the NHL has said it will play.
Commissioner Gary Bettman set a Jan. 11
deadline so the season can begin eight days
later.
The players could be looking to wait until
Saturday night to return to the bargaining
table when it is expected that the executive
board will again have the authority to exercise
a disclaimer of interest that would allow the
union to dissolve and become a trade associa-
tion.

SKI REPORT
that they guys did last year.
Along those same lines, Menlo-
Atherton must contend with replacing
the divisions best striker (Eduardo
Molina) and midelder (Aaron Oro)
who both graduated. The Bears are off
to a 2-2-1 start. The return of players
like Elvis Abarca, a rst team All-PAL
Bay last season, could go a long way in
that.
Carlmont expects to have a say in the
divisions nal outcome. After a tough
preseason schedule, the Scots enter
league play battle-tested. A large part of
their success relies on the creativity and
vision of Luke Petersen. The mideld-
er is dangerous with the ball at foot.
Justin Harper, a member of the All-Bay
second team last year, gures to play a
huge role as well, along with Claudio
Cortez whos shown a scoring touch
early on this year.
But if the Scots are battle-tested, then
the Burlingame Panthers deserve
medals of valor for their non-league
schedule.
This is the toughest preseason
schedule Burlingame has ever had, Im
sure, said Panthers head coach Mike
Sharabi, alluding to games against a
pair of CCS champions and a thumping
at the hands of state powerhouse
Watsonville. Still, Sharabi knows his
team approached the new year better in
spite of a couple lumps on the score-
board.
Were starting to come together and
excited to get league play going, he
said. We have a good core of seniors. I
think this could be a special year for
this group.
I think one of the main that Ive
noticed is the maturity of th team com-
pared to some of the other teams weve
seen and compared to some of the
teams weve had in the past.
Central to the Panthers title hopes is
their defense and that begins, continues
and ends with Chris Flygare.
I think the defense is the backbone
of this team. Theyve been playing
great, Sharabi said. Were putting in
goals. Its going to come down to our
defense being stern out there and not
giving up goals. If they continue to do
what theyre doing, I think were going
to get the goals and I think were going
to be a tough team to beat.
The goals for Burlingame are com-
ing courtesy of players like All-Bay
midelder Jonah Snyder and Tim
Lutvaliyev, who had scored six goals in
six games for the Panthers. The play of
Shayan Amini is a big key to our suc-
cess, Sharabi said. Hes a man
amongst boys out there.
Key for Woodside to contend will be
its consistency. Ringman said the
Wildcats showed signs of greatness
(against St. Ignatius) and struggle
(against Aragon) in non-league play.
Its less about what the outcome is,
Ringman said, in terms of wins and
losses, and more about how we get it
done. I rather see the guys play well
against a competitive team and maybe
lose by a goal or two or play poorly and
beat someone badly.
Its being consistent and being high-
ly competitive no matter who the oppo-
nent is. Thats going to be the challenge
coming out of the chute.
The Wildcats will rely heavily on
connection of Salvador Herrera and
Salvador Godinez on defense and in
them mideld, respectively. An inux
of speed in the form of Luis Mancilla
will give the Wildcats added width.
You cant look past anybody,
Ringman said. Particularly the next
opponent, whoever that may be. You
have to be in your Sunday dress, your
Sunday best.
The rst week of the season will be
huge for Hillsdale, which makes its
debut in the Bay after winning the
Ocean last year. Academics hurt the
Knights early on thus, head coach
Andy Hodzic has as many as six soph-
omores starting for his team.
Its an extremely young team,
Hodzic said, the youngest Ive had.
We are excited, but were going to have
some trouble.
So the pressure in on for players like
returning All-leaguer Alexander
Golden, Edinson Gomez and Fredrick
Whitman.
Its really big because theres a big
difference between them and the rest of
the guys, Hodzic said, adding that he
can get back three senior starting fol-
lowing the annoucement of winter
grades two games into the season.
Westmoor is new to the Bay dance as
well. David Lacayol and Andres
Gonzales will have a huge role in their
success. And dont sleep on Sequoia,
who had last seasons Defender of the
Year in Carlos Ramon and is always
well-coached.
Everyone is gunning for us,
Callaghan said. Everybody is looking
to beat us this year. We have to come
out ready for every team, every game,
right from the start, because theyre cir-
cling us on the schedule as a team they
really want to show what they can do
against.

LONDON Three months after she was
shot in the head for daring to say girls should
be able to get an education, a 15-year-old
Pakistani hugged her nurses and smiled as she
walked out of a Birmingham hospital.
Malala Yousufzai waved to a guard and
smiled shyly as she cautiously strode down the
hospital corridor talking to nurses in images
released Friday by the Queen Elizabeth
Hospital Birmingham.
She is quite well and happy on returning
home as we all are, Malalas father,
Ziauddin, told the Associated Press.
Malala, who was released Thursday, will
live with her parents and two brothers in
Britain while she continues to receive treat-
ment. She will be admitted again in the next
month for another round of surgery to rebuild
her skull.
Experts have been optimistic that Malala,
who was airlifted from Pakistan in October to
receive specialized medical care, has a good
chance of recovery because the brains of
teenagers are still growing and can better
adapt to trauma.
Malala is a strong young woman and has
worked hard with the people caring for her to
make excellent progress in
her recovery, said Dr.
Dave Rosser, the medical
director for University
Hospitals Birmingham.
Following discussions
with Malala and her med-
ical team, we decided that
she would benefit from
being at home with her
parents and two brothers.
The Taliban targeted
Malala because of her relentless objection to
the groups regressive interpretation of Islam
that limits girls access to education. She was
shot while returning home from school in
Pakistans scenic Swat Valley on Oct. 9.
Her case won worldwide recognition, and
the teen became a symbol for the struggle for
womens rights in Pakistan. In an indication of
her reach, she made the shortlist for Time
magazines Person of the Year for 2012.
The militants have threatened to target
Malala again because they say she promotes
Western thinking, but a security assessment
in Britain concluded the risk was low in
releasing her to her family. British police have
provided security for her at the hospital, but
West Midlands Police refused to comment on
any security precautions for Malala or her
family going forward.
Venezuelas Chavez
fighting severe lung infection
CARACAS, Venezuela Venezuelan law-
makers will meet Saturday in a session that
could shed light on what steps may be taken if
President Hugo Chavez is too sick to be sworn
in for a new term next week.
Legislators will choose a president, two vice
presidents and other leaders of the National
Assembly, which is controlled by a pro-Chavez
majority. Whoever is elected National Assembly
president could end up being the interim presi-
dent of Venezuela if Chavez is unable to be
inaugurated on Thursday as scheduled.
Brewing disagreements over how to handle a
possible transition of power also could be aired
at the session, coming just ve days before the
scheduled inauguration day specied in the con-
stitution. Chavezs health crisis has raised con-
tentious questions ahead of the swearing-in,
including whether the inauguration could legal-
ly be postponed.
The government revealed this week that
Chavez is ghting a severe lung infection and
receiving treatment for res-
piratory deciency more
than three weeks after
undergoing cancer surgery
in Cuba. The announcement
suggests a deepening crisis
for the 58-year-old presi-
dent and has fed speculation
that he likely is not well
enough to travel to Caracas
for the inauguration.
National Assembly President Diosdado
Cabello called on Chavez backers to show up
for the legislative session and demonstrate their
support.
This National Assembly is revolutionary and
socialist. It will remain beside the people and
our commander, Cabello said in one of several
messages on his Twitter account. If the opposi-
tion thinks it will nd a space in the National
Assembly to conspire against the people, its
mistaken once again. It will be defeated.

Joshua David Tatro, 26, of El Granada
pleaded no contest to sexual penetration of a
minor under 18 and sending pornographic
material with the intention of seducing a
minor. Tatro took the deal with no specic
sentencing cap but the charges on which he is
convicted carry up to three years and eight
months in prison.
This gives the court an adequate sentenc-
ing range to properly punish him for what he
did, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Regardless of the term imposed, Tatro will
be required to register as a sex offender for
life. The judge can also consider in sentencing
the eight counts dismissed as part of the deal.
The two charges Tatro accepted stem from the
original case involving a 17-year-old water
polo player between October 2011 and May
2012. However, Wagstaffe said the dismissal
of the others does not indicate a lack of merit
of the charges lodged on behalf of a second
girl.
The fact the court can consider all the facts
of that case, too, shows that it is valid,
Wagstaffe said.
Defense attorney Chuck Smith did not
return a call for comment.
San Mateo police arrested Tatro in June
after school ofcials contacted them about the
relationship. Authorities say the relationship
involved sexual activity but not intercourse
and numerous cellphone photo exchanges of
body parts.
Tatro had worked at the school for one year
as a water polo and swim coach. His arrest
came just after the end of the season and he
was not hired back.
The second girl also met Tatro while on the
water polo team. She told authorities he com-
mented on how she looked good and asked her
to friend him on Facebook around October
2011. Through December 2011, he allegedly
also asked her to come over to his home for
sleepovers and to watch movies but she gener-
ally dismissed the messages. The communica-
tion reportedly ended in December 2011 but
picked up again in March after the girl turned
18.
The rst victim is also suing Tatro and the
San Mateo Union High School District for
failing to know he was a risk to students and
adequately train staff to protect them.
In the suit led Oct. 25 in San Mateo
County Superior Court, the girl also claims
much of the alleged activity happened on
school grounds or while supervised during
school events. The suit claims Tatro and the
district are responsible for negligence in hir-
ing and supervision, general negligence and
battery.
Tatro used his power as a teacher to sexu-
ally abuse [her] and other students, according
to the suit which also claims Tatro committed
the acts with minors to satisfy his perverted
sexual appetite.
The school and the district knew or should
have known that Tatro posed an unreasonable
risk of harm to students under his supervi-
sion, according to the suit. The district also
failed to train teachers and staff on sexual
abuse policies and procedures, compassion for
those who have been victims of sexual abuse
by teachers and not to cover up sexual abuse
by teachers, the suit argues.
District ofcials declined to comment when
the October lawsuit was led.
Tatro is free from custody on a $25,000 bail
bond.

The art of
education
By Carly Bertolozzi
B
y seventh grade, I recog-
nized the correlation
between the arts and
achievement. As I sat in the music
room, attending a class required for
all seventh
grade students, I
raised my hand
in response to
the instructors
question: Who
has played a
musical instru-
ment before?
Glancing
about the room, I made an observa-
tion that, to me, was very unexpect-
ed. Automatically, the curtain of
hands singled out every student in
the class that I had once admired
for some reason or other, whether it
was for the demonstration of con-
dence and skill as a leading role in
a community play, advancement in
challenging courses, such as
advanced standing English, or any-
where in between.
I went home that night and
shared the observation I made with
my dad and asked him why this
occurred. I cannot recall exactly
what he said to me, but he most
likely told me that it had something
to do with challenging your mind.
What I do recall was having a little
more condence that day, because,
though I was blind to whatever per-
sonal strengths I had developed at
that point, it led me to believe that

LOS ANGELES There are
many delicious reasons to watch the
returning Downton Abbey and an
exasperating one to skip it: The
covers been blown on major plot
twists.
In what may be outsized revenge
for the American Revolution or
payback for years of exporting
lousy U.S. TV and fast food the
Brits are sharing Downton Abbey
with us, but only after rst airing
each season.
That wouldnt matter much in the
dramas early 20th-century setting
but were not there, are we, PBS and
U.K. network ITV? A little gim-
mick called the Internet makes it
impossible to keep story develop-
ments from spreading like germ
warfare.
As with sports fans who must
avoid all media and big-mouthed
friends to keep game scores a sur-
prise, Downton Abbey addicts are
forced to shun rude news reports
and blogs about what happens to
character A, B or C (no spoilers
here, promise).
Heedlessly type in Downton
Abbey season three online and you
risk stumbling into the startling
truth that ... well, never mind. If you
know, you have our sympathy. If
you dont, live in blessed ignorance
and careful isolation from Sundays
debut until the Feb. 17 season nale.
It is unfair that England gets to
see Downton Abbey before us
because we beat them in a war was
the saucy comment posted on
Twitter by producer Damon
Lindelof of Lost fame.
Its certainly a development
galling enough to draw insults. But
as Downtons courtly master, Lord
Grantham (Hugh Bonneville), once
rebuked a blunt-spoken visitor:
Steady on, sir, the ladies have suf-
fered quite enough of a shock!
Rebecca Eaton, executive produc-
er of PBS Masterpiece showcase

its premature to assess the impact

Chainsaw a loving
homage to original
By Frank Scheck
LOS ANGELES Watching
Texas Chainsaw 3-D, the latest
screen incarnation of the iconic
chainsaw-wielding maniac
Leatherface, the mind fairly
reels. This purported direct
sequel to Tobe Hoopers 1974
horror classic cheerfully ignores
that directors own 1986 follow-
up, the 1997 and 2003 remakes,
the 2006 prequel and even its
basic timeline. It scores points
for sheer brazenness.
But aside from its being an obvi-
ously loving homage to the original
even including 3-D-enhanced clips
from it in the opening credits there isnt
much to recommend this installment whose
main point of originality is omitting the
word Massacre from the title.
The opening sequence takes place direct-
ly after the nal scene of Hoopers lm,
depicting a Waco-like encounter in which
the house containing Leatherface and his
cannibalistic family burns to the ground
with all its occupants presumably dead.
Except for a baby, who is promptly adopted
and, as we soon see, grows up in Oklahoma to
be the beautiful Heather (Alexandra

admirable achievements and become a person
to look up to as well.
Presently, I still observe the benets of art in
education. Many high school seniors enrolled
in advanced placement English literature will
begin to read novels from the Modernist period
upon arrival from winter break. In preparation,
a Carlmont High School teacher suggested to
students that they attend a speech delivered by
a representative of the Museum of Modern Art
at the Belmont Library because she planned on
speaking about the art collection of William S.
Paley, an art collector who obtained many
pieces from the Modernist era.
A few classmates and I went to the speech,
and not only did we leave with a thorough
understanding of the founder of CBSs life, but
we came across a strong foundation of what
Modernism is and how the United States rst
perceived the artistic trend.
Seeing how artists expressed peoples
impression of the world through their paintings
allows me to predict not only the authors sen-
timents toward characters and actions in the
novels, but societys potential sentiments as
well an advantage art gave me over my
classmates, when we begin to analyze content
of the novels.
I am not alone in the belief that the arts can
lead to progress and foster advancement. The
presidents Committee on the Arts and
Humanities believes that the arts can be a use-
ful tool for educators and can help transform
at-risk schools.
PCAH, in coordination with the White
House Domestic Policy Council and the U.S.
Department of Education, created Turnaround
Art, an initiative that is designed to help nar-
row the achievement gap and increase student
engagement through the arts, according to
turnaroundart.pcah.gov, to aid schools in the
top 5 percent of the lowest-performing schools
in their states.
According to turnaroundart.pcah.gov, the
program will enhance education through part-
nerships with community arts education and
cultural organizations, in-school professional
development during the school year, additional
arts supplies and musical instruments, and
Turnaround artists working in each school.
The artists currently working in schools
include Forest Whitaker, Kerry Washington,
Sarah Jessica Parker, Yo-Yo Ma, Damian
Woetzel, Alfre Woodard and Chuck Close.
The program has already begun to produce
results a visual arts teacher from a
Turnaround school in Washington, D.C., was
deemed a Champion of Change by the White
House.
Art programs have declined in previous
years drama and dance in elementary
schools have declined 80 percent in the last 10
years, according to turnaroundart.pcah.gov
and despite the economic troubles the country
has been facing, art in education should not be
overlooked because it really is an important
factor in the development and learning process
of a student.

Daddario).
Cut to roughly 20 years later, when Heather
learns of her origins after being left a Texas
mansion by her late grandmother. She and her
friends promptly head off in a van to check out
her inheritance which, unbeknownst to them, is
still the home of the hulking Leatherface (Dan
Yeager).
The lms rst half follows conventional hor-
ror movie tropes as the heroine and her hottie
companions boyfriend Ryan (rapper
Tremaine Trey Songz Neverson), BFF Nikki
(Tania Raymonde), her new crush Kenny
(Keram Malicki-Sanchez) and a hunky hitch-
hiker (Scott Eastwood) are pursued by the
chainsaw-wielding inhabitant with predictably
lethal results. But not before all of them bare as
much skin as possible.
Things take a somewhat more complex turn
later on when Heather nds herself in an
unlikely alliance with her deranged relative
against the towns corrupt mayor (Paul Rae)
and his minions. Leatherface is even given a
rather sympathetic treatment, depicted as being
something of a misunderstood, overgrown child
whose propensity for tearing off his victims
faces is but an extreme example of adolescent
rebellion.
That the lm obviously takes place in the
present day a key sequence involves a cam-
era phone is something of a puzzler, since
that would make Heather nearly 40, something
that the tightly toned, midriff-baring Daddario
is clearly not. But hey, whats a couple of
decades more or less?
Director John Luessenhop (Takers) takes
advantage of the 3-D by shoving blood spurts
and the occasional chainsaw directly into view-
ers faces, but otherwise it has little impact
other than to goose the box ofce with those
hefty surcharges. Unlike the restrained 1974
lm which cleverly relied mainly on sugges-
tion, this version piles on the graphic, often
CGI-enhanced gore.
Devoted fans of the original will be gratied
by the cameos from several of that lms cast
members, including original Leatherface
Gunnar Hansen, although they are mostly of
the blink and youll miss them variety.
TEXAS
Christmas Day. Will ratings be dented by damp-
ened enthusiasm or piracy?
It will be difcult to say until it airs in this
country, Eaton said, with the size of the audi-
ence providing a key measurement.
The bar is high compared with last year, when
Downton Abbey became the most-watched
series ever for Masterpiece with more than 17
million viewers across seven episodes. With its
swooning, buzz-worthy romances, the drama
also fed social media and gave PBS a new
veneer of cool.
But whats to be done if the season endgame
is stuck in your brain? As a famous Brit said in
more dire circumstances, never surrender! Go
along for the ride that the beautifully produced
soap opera-cum-fairy tale offers, admiring how
the devilishly clever Julian Fellowes, its creator
and writer, foreshadows the events to come.
As Downtons residents adjust to post-War
War I England, there are chills and spills
involved in that for all the characters, some
laughs and some tears, as Fellowes neatly
summed it up.
Knowing the destination doesnt mean you
cant appreciate the scenery, including these
highlights:
Newcomer Shirley MacLaine as an
American visitor, talking smack with British in-
law Violet (Maggie Smith), each wittily knock-
ing the others nation and values. MacLaine
wears pasty, kabuki-like makeup as armor;
Smith meets insults with world-weary eyes.
Michelle Dockery keeping it real as Lady
Mary, whos surrendered to love with Matthew
(Dan Stevens) while barely softening her sharp
edges and steely devotion to family tradition.
Bonus: The willowy actress was born to wear
sleek 1920s dresses.
Fashion and its evolution, as Downtons
upstairs ladies move from lovely but fussy
wardrobes to sassier, clean-lined garb and
(except for steadfast Mary) shorter hair, reec-
tions of liberating changes that include the
promise of universal suffrage for all British
women.
Stevens as golden-boy Matthew, emerging
intact from World War I and still conicted
about his future role as lord of the manor. A side
game: See if Stevens, smart as he is, looks dis-
tracted by the novels he read on the set as a
judge for Britains Man Booker Prize.
Cultural, medical and other period tidbits,
which are fascinating and a reminder that wise
historians never would choose to live in a time
before their own. In one instance, a character
who may have cancer is told that test results will
take up to two nerve-shattering months.
Fellows charming faith in the tender side of
revolutionaries, at least ones that mate with
landed gentry. Irish chauffeur-turned-activist
Tom Branson (Allen Leech), who previously
turned moist-eyed over the murder of the
Russian royal family, loses it again in season
three over ery political warfare.
A stately house, but fast-paced action.
Fellowes said he took a cue from the American
mash-up approach to storytelling perfected in
shows like ER and The West Wing, with
stories big and small, sad and funny and all sort
of plotted up together. The look is period but
the energy is much more modern, as Fellowes
put it.
But modernity can be troublesome, proof
being the Internet imperiling the dramas sur-
prises for U.S. viewers. Whatever the outcome,
Eaton said Masterpiece will tread carefully in
making changes.
ITV is the primary funder of Downton
Abbey and has international premiere rights.
While a September debut ts the U.K. TV mar-
ketplace, it would mean stiffer competition for
Downton as U.S. networks launch their fall
slates, Eaton said.

THE WATER EDUCATION FOUN-
DATION OFFERS TOURS OF CALI-
FORNIAS NATURAL RESOURCES
AND ENGINEERING MARVELS.
The mission of the non-prot Water
Education Foundation is to foster public
understanding of California water
resource issues and it does this, in part, by
providing tours of facilities, rivers and
regions central to water policy debates.
Participants travel by bus, train, ferry and
houseboat as they learn about the exten-
sive levees, massive dams, teeming sh
hatcheries and other engineering compo-
nents of Californias water delivery sys-
tem. On these two- and three-day eld
trips, the topics of water quality, environ-
mental restoration, ood management and
water conservation are addressed by
speakers representing different view-
points.
Rita Schmidt Sudman, Water Education
Foundation Executive Director, said: As
we get ready to gear up for our 2013 water
tour eld trips, Ive been thinking of some
of the unique places we visit. These tours
are a tremendous opportunity to see the
natural environment, view water facilities
and discuss issues with the people on the
ground. I also have to admit that the tours
are fun! People from all over California
and the West spend two to three days
together on buses and boats, walking
around sites and sharing meals together.
In the process of travelling together, peo-
ple get to know each other and understand
each others point of view. More than one
water issue has been solved or moved
along by people spending this kind of time
together.
Jim Barr, a former state director for
USDA Rural Development for Nebraska,
said, I have found that the California
Water Tours have been very well organ-
ized, have given participants a broad
overview of the area to be toured, looked
at a wide variety of water related sites and
given perspectives from several different
viewpoints. They have something for peo-
ple just getting introduced to water issues
and for the folks who have spent a lifetime
dealing with water related issues.
Places are now available on the follow-
ing trips:

eling is to regulate imagination by reality,

Thomas M. Patton wrote in the report.
Parks Director Ruth Coleman, who
had been director since 2002, resigned
and a senior parks ofcial was red last
summer after $54 million was found hid-
den in two special funds as up to 70
parks were threatened with closure
because of budget cuts.
The report said the actual amount
intentionally hidden in the State Parks
and Recreation Fund was $20 million,
and the remaining $34 million discrep-
ancy was due to differences in the timing
of the fund reports to the state nance
department and the controllers ofce.
The amount of money kept hidden had
grown as high as $29 million in 2003,
the report said.
The parks fund generates about $100
million each year through visitor fees
and rentals. The fund has become a more
vital source for the department as law-
makers reduce general support in the
face of budget decits.
The state will review the ndings and
decide whether to forward materials to
law enforcement for a possible criminal
case, said Richard Stapler, spokesman
for the California Natural Resources
Agency, which oversees the parks
department.
No employees were found to have
stolen or wrongly spent any of the
money, the report said, but senior of-
cials made deliberate decisions not to
report the additional funds to the state
Department of Finance, which helps the
governor establish the states annual
spending plan.
Because the state Legislature did not
know about the money, which was gen-
erated from park fees and rentals, of-
cials had no authority to spend it, mak-
ing it an essentially useless reserve,
the report said.
Coleman has denied knowing about
the hidden money. She was the only cur-
rent or former employee who would not
agree to be interviewed by the attorney
generals ofce, the report said.
MONEY
check-ins with their mentor. Many of the
students stick with the program through-
out their four years, which is the goal. In
addition, the all-ladies club raises funds
to support its activities, puts together an
annual retreat for the ladies involved,
provides a cultural dance component
which the girls perform locally as part of
their community service and creates a
supporting environment on campus,
explained Health Aide Lori Durham,
who leads the program.
Durham, who graduated from Mills in
1979, took over the program when she
joined Mills. It included 27 girls when
she started and has grown. For Durham,
its a personal experience.
I felt that I needed something more
here but I didnt know how to get it, she
said of her time as a student at Mills.
Now shes helping offer that extra
something to the girls at Mills. While
most of the girls are Latina, the club
must be open to all girls. A handful of
girls are not Hispanic but most are.
Mills, which has a mostly Asian student
body, does serve about 14 percent
Hispanic students.
Each student gains something differ-
ent from joining.
Sixteen-year-old Ariz Becerra, a jun-
ior who serves as co-president, heard
about the program through Gomez.
Becerra enjoys learning more about tra-
ditions from a variety of Latin countries.
For senior Marisza Lozada-Esquivel,
the biggest benet to being part of the
program has been the support, particu-
larly when it comes to her academics.
I thought Id be someone who would
get a job out of high school, she said.
Now shes planning to go to Skyline
College then transfer to study business
to help with her familys construction
company. For Lozada-Esquivel, one of
her favorite aspects of the program is
when Durham brings in female speakers
to talk about life challenges, success-
es, how they achieved what it is theyre
doing.
Rose Aristakessian, 17, joined as a
junior. She had attended a smaller mid-
dle school and wanted to meet new
friends. During her rst two years at
Mills, Aristakessian hadnt really found
her place.
I hated school at rst, she said.
Since becoming involved with the
Latina Mentoring Program,
Aristakessian said shes found support
she needed and has learned valuable
communication skills.
The mentors involved also enjoy
building the relationships on campus.
Durham is currently serving as the men-
tor for six girls. Its a lot of work,
Durham admits that perhaps six is more
than she should take on. But she sees the
impact on the girls.
Counselor Bettina Graf, who is new to
Mills this year, noticed how willing the
women on campus are to help. Graf also
appreciates learning about the culture
while supporting leadership opportuni-
ties for girls.
LATINA
Birthday parties, summer camps, pri-
vate lessons, after-school programs
for Vagharshakian, opening Society and
keeping the doors open was a personal
form of self-expression.
Its fun seeing the kids look up to you
and teaching them, he said. Being able
to connect to them and talk to them and
being able to relate to them goes a long
way. Thats where the relationship build-
ing really starts, and its a cool feeling.
At the end of the day, thats what were
all about.
Theyre really family-oriented,
which I like, said Lucia Annunziata, a
Belmont resident and Society regular.
Theyre all really, really nice and really
helpful and they like the kids and treat
them like people.
Its Vagharshakians commitment to
this connection that drew local artist and
now Society employee Nicky Gaston to
his longtime friends business.
I chose skateboarding when I was
young and it was kind of an outlet for
me, Gaston said. I think the whole cul-
ture [of skateboarding] is kind of an out-
let where kids want something to do,
they have an interest, they pick it up.
[With] skateboarding you can progress
so much, theres no limit. You can just
keep learning and learning. I knew one
day Id incorporate it into my job. Its
art, music, culture. Skateboarding is an
independent thing to do; its not like an
organized sport where youre just kind
of forced when youre young into it.
First and foremost we are a skate
shop, Shakian said. [But] the skate
shop means a lot more. It means the
shoes, the clothing, the styles, the music,
the art.
So strongly does Society believe in the
art that it proudly displays works done
by local artists, including Gastons, and
even going as far as hosting art contests
for skateboarders in the community.
These are the kinds of things we pro-
mote for local artists, Shakian said.
Another staff member is a musician and
last time we had a show he brought his
band in the shop and provided the
music.
Society has expanded its stamp on the
community by opening a skate park
within skating distance of the store loca-
tion where they host after-school skate
lessons and private lessons.
The skateboarding instructors are not
just instructors, Shakian said. They
typically become celebrities in the area
because the kids love them, they follow
them and they see them as a role model.
I think thats a huge part of our success
and our strategy. We want to be a very
positive inuence, locally, to the kids.
Its a generation of local children
excited to create art of their own.

SOCIETY
SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 2013
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you want to
assert yourself, its important that you do so without
being aggressive. Be tactful and considerate, but
also frm.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Youre a quick study
and capable of learning much from other people
as well as from books. It behooves you to closely
observe the habits of people you admire.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- It could be one of
those times when the people you know could be just
as important as the things you know. Hanging out with
certain associates could prove to be extremely helpful.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- What makes you so
successful is your cooperative spirit. Anyone whom
you assist or go out of your way for will feel impelled
to respond equivalently.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The best way to
enhance your feelings of self-worth is to busy
your heart, head and hands with lots of productive
activities. Make everything you do count.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There is likely to be
an additional facet to your personality that makes
you even more appealing and fascinating to people.
When you sense it, use it, but do so responsibly.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Give top priority to
anything you can do to make things happier in the
household, especially if someone is feeling down in
the dumps.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If youre in charge of
a social gathering, it behooves you to limit the
participants to a few choice pals. Its likely to be
more fun if there arent too many people involved.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- There is a strong
possibility that you could derive proft through an
involvement with a close relative or a friend of the
family. Chances are you wont have to ask to be
included.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your gift of persuasion
is one of your strongest assets, so if you have a
special idea or product that youre trying to sell or
promote, make your pitch now. You wont fnd a
better time.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Lucky you, because
one of your greatest benefts is likely to come
through the good auspices of another and not from
anything you do on your own. Good people help
other good people.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Someone you
recently met and liked is as eager to get to know you
better as you are to know him or her. However, this
person is really shy, so its going to be up to you to
make the frst move.
