WASHINGTON Year-end legisla-
tion to ease Congress chronic budget
brinkmanship and soften across-the-
board spending cuts moved to the cusp
of nal passage Tuesday, a rare display
of Senate bipartisanship that masked
strong Republican complaints about
slicing into military retirement bene-
t s.
The measure is expected to clear the
Senate and go to President Barack
Obama for his signature on
Wednesday, marking a modest accom-
plishment at the end of a year punctu-
ated by a partial government shut-
down, a near-default by the U.S.
Treasury and congressional gridlock
on issues ranging from immigration to
gun control.
This bipartisan bill takes the rst
steps toward rebuilding our broken
budget process. And, hopefully, toward
rebuilding our broken Congress, said
Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., who
negotiated the compromise with Rep.
Paul Ryan, R-Wis. The rst major test
of that is likely to come in February,
when Congress faces a vote to raise the
governments debt limit.
Tuesdays vote to send the measure
toward nal approval was 67-33. But
even as it was advancing, Republicans
vowed that the requirement for curtail-
ing the growth in cost-of-living bene-
ts for military retirees under age 62
wouldnt long survive. The Democratic
chairman of the Senate Armed Services
Committee, Sen. Carl Levin of
Michigan, has said the panel will
review the change, estimated to trim
some $6.3 billion in benets, early
next year.
This provision is absolutely

A 47-year-old Pacica man drugged his
girlfriends teen daughter with sleeping
medication, including a pill hidden in a
bowl of ice cream, so that he could fondle
and rape her, according to prosecutors.
Paul David Messersmith was arrested after
the 18-year-old girl told her mother, and
then police, that on Dec. 11 she found a
piece of pill in some ice cream he gave her
after a driving lesson and was told the chunk
was likely an additive. The girl said she
grew woozy and laid on the couch with
slurred speech when Messersmith pulled off
her pajama bottoms and touched her. She
said after waking up from a blackout, he car-
ried her to a bedroom and raped her.
During a police interview the following
day, the girl shared another incident where
she ingested something odd tasting that
Messersmith had given her and blacked out.
The girl said she awoke to nd herself in a
hotel room with him
fondling her chest but did
not tell anyone out of
concern for her mothers
relationship with him,
said District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
The police discovered
the drug Messersmith
allegedly used was
Zolpidem, according to
the District Attorneys
Ofce.
Zolpidem is typically better known by
brand names like Ambien.
At his initial arraignment, Messersmith
asked for a court-appointed attorney and put
off a plea until Dec. 24. He is charged with
forcible rape, rape by using an intoxicating
substance, sexual penetration, sexual bat-
tery and battery.
If convicted, he faces life in prison
because of the rape by intoxication charge,
Wagstaffe said.
He remains in custody without bail.

A Chechnyan man who reportedly said
This has nothing to do with Boston after
being arrested for burglarizing a vehicle and

stopping him settled his case for up to two
years in prison.
On the morning his trial was to start,
Alexander Dombrovic, 22, of Palo Alto,
pleaded no contest to felony charges of
assault and auto burglary. Prosecutors sought
a maximum of two years and eight months but
the court capped the deal at two years when
Dombrovic is sentenced Feb. 26.
Sheriffs deputies arrested Dombrovic April
21 in Portola Valley after a teen reported nd-
ing him rummaging though the familys
Range Rover which was parked in the drive-
way a little after 10 p.m. The boy allegedly
went outside to investigate noise of a car
pulling in and asked the man looking through
his fathers car what he was doing.
Dombrovic allegedly yelled something
incoherent and charged at the boy with an alu-
minum bat, swinging it tomahawk-style on
his shoulder, before hop-
ping into his own SUV
and eeing. The boy was
bruised but otherwise
uninjured.
Deputies in the area for
other reasons responded to
the call and saw
Dombrovic driving on the
wrong side of the road
with his lights off, caus-
ing them to swerve.
Inside the vehicle, deputies reported nding
129 pieces of mail from 18 different victims
and said ve locked mailboxes in the area had
been smashed open.
The ofcers reported Dombrovic making
the comment about Boston, a reference to the
widely publicized bombing at the Boston
Marathon.
On Wednesday, Dombrovic appeared in
court on charges of robbery, assault, vandal-
ism, burglary and reckless driving. He plead-
ed not guilty and asked for a court-appointed
attorney. Bail was set at $50,000.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A Redwood City man accused of wide-
spread elder abuse by defrauding people with
his tales of domestic and economic woes
took a plea deal on eight felonies but his
prison sentence will depend on whether he
can pay $30,000 in restitution.
James Keeton, 63, pleaded no contest to
six counts of elder abuse and two counts of
felony fraud. When sentenced Feb. 25, he
faces four years in prison if he repays noth-
ing and three years and eight months if he
can make the restitution order by that date.
Keeton was originally charged with seven
counts of fraud and six counts of elder abuse
linked to alleged incidents between 2008
and 2010. He was supposed to stand trial in
January.
Prosecutors say Keeton swindled more
than $270,000 total from multiple people.
Keeton reportedly
befriended people
between the ages of 51
and 88 through the San
Mateo Horsemans
Association and St. Pius
Parish in Redwood City.
After gaining their
trust, he would ask for
loans between $3,000
and $23,650 because he
said his wife had recently miscarried twins
and they were going to lose their house to
foreclosure. Keeton promised to repay the
money with a large inheritance tied up in lit-
igation in New York but never did and cut off
communication after, according to the
District Attorneys Office. Keeton was
arrested in March. He remains in custody in
lieu of $250,000 bail.
EPA: Chevron violated
law at California refinery
SAN FRANCISCO Chevron Corp.
failed to maintain equipment at a
California refinery and has not responded
adequately to multiple airborne chemical
releases, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency said Tuesday.
The EPA filed a formal notice against
Chevron finding 62 violations of federal
environmental laws after an investigation
spurred by the Aug. 6, 2012, fire.
Federal chemical safety investigators
have determined the blaze was caused by
the failure of a corroded, 1970s-era pipe
that released a massive gas cloud and sent
thousands of people to hospitals seeking
medical attention.
The EPA called Chevrons risk manage-
ment at the Richmond facility a pervasive
failure and warned it could pursue criminal
charges or fines if the company fails to
address the violations.
Chevron spokeswoman Melissa Ritchie
said the company is working with the EPA
and other agencies to remedy issues identi-
fied in investigations by the government
and the company.
In Richmond, a full, comprehensive
inspection of the refinery is ongoing,
Ritchie said. To date, we have inspected
thousands of individual piping compo-
nents and are replacing them as necessary
based on the results of these inspections.
Jared Blumenfeld, the EPAs regional
administrator, said investigators deter-
mined Chevrons culture does not place
high enough emphasis on safety. He said
the company failed to verify that its own
risk management plan was being used by
refinery staff.
The reward system is focused on the
number of running hours of the facilities,
and how that affected bonuses and perform-
ance, Blumenfeld said. Chevron needs to
impose one where the risk management
plan is put into everyones job.
The EPAs notice came a day after the
U.S. Chemical Safety Board released its
draft investigative report of the 2012 fire.
San Jose airport leak
blamed on apparent joint failure
SAN JOSE Officials say a failed joint
appears to blame for a water leak that
flooded parts of a terminal at Mineta San
Jose International Airport, leading to
flight delays and even cancellations.
Terminal A was fully up and running
again on Tuesday morning, a day after the
leak flooded the baggage claim and securi-
ty areas. Passengers were checked in at air-
line counters, but then taken to Terminal B
on shuttle buses for security screening.
Airport spokeswoman Rosemary Barnes
says several flights were delayed and a few
cancelled. The terminal serves carriers,
including American, Delta, JetBlue,
United, U.S. Airways, Virgin American and
Volaris.
Man accused of elder fraud takes plea deal
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A Burlingame electronics business thats
been around since the 80s is expanding its
operations, which is a good sign for the
communitys manufacturing industry some
city leaders say.
ABX Engineering has two 14,000-square-
foot offices on Hinckley Road in the
Bayfront neighborhood and opened its new,
bigger, 875 Stanton Road ofce last Friday.
The latest building was dedicated Dec. 8.
Around 2000, the city updated its specic
area plan for the neighborhood and at those
hearings the companys participation made
it possible for manufacturing to continue and
grow on the eastside, according to former
councilwoman Rosalie OMahony.
Mark Leininger, vice president of technol-
ogy strategy and implementation, said ABX
purchased the building on Stanton Road in
2010, but recently nally moved in to the
25,000-square-foot space that used to house
Community Gatepath, a nonprot serving
people with disabilities in San Mateo
County. Moving forward, he would like to
see the company expand even more.
We werent heavily leveraged to grow
huge fast, Leininger said. Its been a small-
er, more organic growth. In the electronics
industry theres a lot of up and down growth.
[Since we grew more organically], we can
ride out the dips in the market.
The contract manufacturing and materials
management company primarily makes cir-
cuit boards, devices that mechanically sup-
port and electrically connect electronic com-
ponents using conductive tracks, pads and
other features etched from copper sheets lam-
inated onto a non-conductive underlying
layer. It provides other services such as pro-
totyping electronics devices and supporting
companies that make scientic and medical
instruments, military electronic devices,
power monitoring devices, aerospace
devices and other industries.
Additionally, ABX, a business of about
100 employees, tends to retain staff well,
Leininger said.
We dont have a lot of turnover, he said.
Our people come in and feel the extra perks
you get from working here and dont go
looking elsewhere. Alot of employees have
been here since the mid-80s.
The local business helps others to take the
headache off their desks, he said. Still, in the
last decade, theres been a lot of buzz around
using cheap labor overseas to make electron-
ics, however, Leininger said this is unwise.
Accountants didnt take into account soft
costs, he said. Quality goes down and they
cut corners. If you get a bad name for [having
poor quality products], you could lose your
market share. Theres also stealing of intel-
lectual property that happens when you go
overseas. There is a lot of value in saying,
our products are American made.
Although the price per square foot in
Burlingame is high, its worth it to stay in
the area, Leininger said. This way, it is close
to the inventors and engineers who make the
products.
They can come and visit and see their
product, he said. They can control the
process. Its kind of hard to y to China to do
all that. We try to do really good work and
get better. Were very much quality-driven.

BIG SUR An unusual late fall wildfire
fueled by drought conditions destroyed
more than a dozen homes and forced about
100 people to flee the forested mountains
of the scenic Big Sur region overlooking
the Pacific Ocean.
The slow-moving fire in Los Padres
National Forest near state Highway 1 had
consumed 769 acres, or a little over a
square mile, by Tuesday night and was 20
percent contained.
It has destroyed 22 buildings, Los
Padres National Forest spokesman Lynn
Olson said. About 14 of those structures
were homes, she said.
No injuries have been reported.
Between 550 and 650 firefighters have
deployed to the area, and thus far, weather
has been working in their favor, Olson
said. But Wednesday would be another mat-
ter, depending on which way the wind
blows.
Theres a little weather front coming
in, she said. It could possibly help us. It
could possibly hurt us.
Big Sur miles of rugged coast, cliffs
and wilderness is a popular tourist des-
tination about 150 miles south of San
Francisco with high-end resorts and beau-
tiful views of the Pacific Ocean.
The fire was burning a little more than a
mile from Ventana Inn and Spa, a favorite
spot among celebrities where former
Facebook president and Napster co-
founder Sean Parker got married in June.
In the summer of 2008, a lightning-
sparked wildfire forced the evacuation of
Big Sur and blackened 250 square miles
before it was contained. That blaze burned
more than a dozen homes.
Californias fire season traditionally
peaks by mid-fall, but the drought of the
last several years has given the state
essentially year-round danger.
The Big Sur fire began Sunday, fueled by
dry vegetation and fanned by winds.
Among the homes destroyed was that of
Big Sur Fire Chief Martha Karstens. She
tearfully told reporters Monday night that
the loss of her home of 23 years had not
yet sunk in.
Im just trying to function as a chief,
she said.
Other residents anxiously tried to get
information about their homes.
Jim Walters, who was up the coast in
Carmel when the blaze started, told the
Monterey Herald he had gone to entrance
to his street, local restaurants and the fire
command station but had no luck learning
anything about his home.
I dont know where else to go, he said.
The Red Cross set up an overnight shel-
ter for displaced people, said Los Padres
National Forest spokesman Andrew
Madsen.
The Monterey County Sheriffs
Department issued an evacuation watch
Tuesday afternoon for the area west of
Highway 1 between Fernwood Resort and
River Inn, but no more mandatory evacua-
tions were ordered. Highway 1 remains
open, Olson said.
A wildfire so late in the year is unusual
in Northern California, where the fire sea-
son is generally at its peak over the sum-
mer, said Larry Smith, a meteorologist
with the National Weather Service in
Monterey.
Smith said the Big Sur area has averaged
nearly 45 inches of rain yearly between
1981 and 2010. But the area has received
about 7 inches of rain this year, about 16
percent of its normal amount.
Thats very, very dry, Smith said.
Still, officials said they were hopeful
they could contain the blaze this week as
temperatures were expected to be in the
50s on Wednesday and Thursday.
Were cautiously optimistic that were
going to pin this thing down within the
next couple of days, Madsen said.
The cause of the fire was under investi-
gation.

$1.1B California
paint ruling may
prompt new suits
By Paul Elias
SAN FRANCISCO Paint makers could face a surge of
lawsuits after a California state court judge ordered three
companies to pay $1.1 billion to help government agencies
get rid of lead from an estimated 5 million homes in the
state.
The ruling, while preliminary, was a rare loss for an indus-
try that had turned back some 50 lawsuits led nationwide
over the last 25 years by public agencies seeking billions of
dollars to remove lead-based paint from homes built before
the federal government banned the product from the U.S.
market in 1987.
The California ruling is certainly a signicant develop-
ment, said David Logan, a class action expert and dean of
Roger Williams University Law in Rhode Island. If it gets
upheld, it will open a new path to victory for public agen-
cies.
Lisa Rickard, president of the U.S. Chamber of
Commerces Institute for Legal Reform, predicted a surge of
frivolous lawsuits because of Mondays ruling, which the
industry plans to appeal.
Exposure to lead is linked to learning disabilities and
other health problems, especially among poor children liv-
ing in older dwellings. The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention earlier this year said 535,000 children had dan-
gerously high levels of lead.
In lawsuits against the industry led on behalf of state and
local governments, lawyers have argued that lead-based
paint is a public nuisance like a major air polluter or a
dumper of toxic materials into a river. The lawsuits claimed
that unsafe levels of lead found in thousands of childrens
bloodstreams each year was caused by the paint industry.
But the lawsuits foundered for a variety of reasons. Many
older homes have several layers of lead-based paint, making
it impossible to determine which layer of paint was respon-
sible for a residents lead poisoning if in fact paint was
the culprit. Lead also is found in water, jewelry, toys and
other places.
Other cases were dismissed after judges rejected the public
nuisance claims, ruling that individuals must le individual
lawsuits proving a paint company caused them direct harm.
Finally, the industry argued that the old paint is no longer
a signicant public health risk and that it never deliberately
sold a harmful product.
On Monday, Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge
James Kleinberg rejected those arguments, citing corporate
documents dating back to 1900 to rule that ConAgra Grocery
Products Co., NL Industries Inc. and the Sherwin-Williams
Co. marketed lead-based paint they knew was harmful for
much of the 1900s.
The judge cited a Sherwin-Williams newsletter from 1900
conceding that lead-based paint was a deadly cumulative
poison and then a 1922 company advertisement claiming
its paint was safe.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. NASA
has ordered up a series of urgent
spacewalks to fix a broken cooling
line at the International Space
Station, a massive repair job that
could stretch to Christmas Day.
Station managers decided Tuesday
to send two American astronauts out
as soon as possible to replace a pump
with a bad valve. The task will require
two and possibly three spacewalks on
Saturday, Monday and next
Wednesday Christmas Day.
The next week will be busy with
space walks so not much tweeting
from here, NASA astronaut Rick
Mastracchio said from space via
Twitter soon after the decision was
announced.
The spacewalks are taking priority
over the launch of a supply ship from
Vi rginia. The commercial delivery
had been scheduled for this week, but
is now delayed until at least mid-
January.
U.S.-led spacewalks have been on
hold since July, when an Italian astro-
naut almost drowned because of water
that leaked into his helmet.
NASA hopes to wrap up the pump
swap in two spacewalks and not have
to do a third on Christmas Day.
Astronauts have ventured outside of
their spaceship on Dec. 25 only once,
way back in 1973 during Skylab,
Americas first space station. Shuttle
astronauts finished a series of space-
walks on the Hubble Space Telescope
on Christmas Eve 1999.
Half of the space stations cooling
system shut down last Wednesday,
forcing the six-man crew to turn off
all nonessential equipment, including
some science experiments. Because of
the valve failure, one of the two cool-
ing lines became too cold.
The cooling system, which runs
ammonia through the lines, is critical
for dispelling heat generated by on-
board equipment.
While the astronauts are safe and
comfortable, NASA wants the system
back up to full strength, in case of
another failure that could leave the
orbiting outpost even more vulnera-
ble than it is right now.
Flight controllers tried in vain to
fix the valve remotely, then came up
with a plan to use another valve to
regulate the temperature. Some suc-
cess was reported, and for a while,
engineers thought the space station
could limp along with this short-term
solution. But on Tuesday, managers
opted for spacewalks right now. Spare
pumps are on board.
This is the same pump a bulky
780-pound bundle that was
replaced by spacewalking astronauts
in 2010. Three spacewalks were need-
ed then. The lessons learned may
enable Mastracchio and astronaut
Michael Hopkins to finish the job
more quickly.
Mastracchio, a veteran spacewalk-
er, and Hopkins, a first-time space
flier, trained for just such a repair
before rocketing into orbit. They
have been prepping all week, just in
case of just such a decision.
Have not looked out the window in
4 days, Mastracchio said in a tweet.
Too busy building space suits. Where
did I put my gloves?
The investigation into last sum-
mers suit mishap continues; the
problem is believed to be linked to a
component in the cooling system for
the suit. Other suits will be used for
the upcoming spacewalks.
Orbital Sciences Corp., meanwhile,
will stand down from its planned
Thursday night launch of its Cygnus
cargo ship from Wallops Island, Va.
The station crew includes three
Russians and one Japanese, aside
from the two Americans. An unrelated
Russian spacewalk planned for Dec.
27 remains on track.
NASA orders series of urgent
repair spacewalks at station
By Don Thompson
SACRAMENTO California has
agreed to change its policy for consid-
ering when murderers and others serv-
ing life sentences should be eligible
for parole, though corrections experts
differed Tuesday on whether the
change could lead to shorter prison
terms for thousands of inmates.
The state agreed to the shift under a
legal settlement approved Monday by
state Court of Appeal Justice J.
Anthony Kline in San Francisco. The
deal calls for the state Board of Parole
Hearings to more quickly set the min-
imum time that should be served
before an inmate is released.
The minimum time is not binding
on parole decisions but in effect sets a
guideline for how much time a person
who committed a particular crime
ought to typically serve. Previously
the parole board generally waited to
set minimum terms until after the
board determined an inmate was suit-
able for parole. Now the board is
agreeing to set the minimum term at
the inmates rst parole hearing.
Inmates still would have to estab-
lish that they no longer are a public
danger before a parole date is set,
board spokesman Luis Patino said.
The change will affect about 35,000
inmates serving life terms with the
possibility of parole. They include
not only murderers but those convict-
ed of serious crimes like kidnapping,
and career criminals convicted of a
third strike. Together, they make up
about a quarter of Californias prison
population.
The Los Angeles Ti mes on
Tuesday cited a Stanford study
released in 2011 found that murder-
ers who were eligible for parole
after serving 16 years served an
average of 27 years behind bars.
The change could lead to earlier
paroles that eventually would help the
state comply with federal judges
orders to reduce prison crowding,
attorney Jon Streeter said Tuesday.
Streeter was appointed to represent
Roy Butler, a 46-year-old inmate at
Salinas Valley State Prison who was
sentenced to 15 years to life for a
1987 murder. After he was repeatedly
denied parole for a decade, Butler chal-
lenged the boards current practices on
the grounds that they lead to unconsti-
tutional excessive punishment.
Were talking a change that could
have a benecial effect for thousands
of inmates who up to now have had no
idea when, if ever, they might have a
chance for parole, Streeter said.
However, he said it is unclear how
many might actually be released earli-
er than they would have been without
the agreement.

BEIRUT Hospitals in the northern
Syrian city of Aleppo are overwhelmed with
casualties, an international aid group
warned Tuesday, as government warplanes
blasted opposition areas of the city as part
of a withering three-day air assault that has
killed more than 100 people.
The intensied air campaign, which one
activist group in the city called unprece-
dented, suggests President Bashar Assads
government is trying to crush opposition
in the contested city, Syrias largest, ahead
of an international peace conference sched-
uled for late January in Switzerland.
Aleppo has been a major front in Syrias
civil war since the rebels launched an offen-
sive there in mid-2012, and the city has
since been carved into opposition- and
government-held areas. On Tuesday, the
main Western-backed opposition group,
the Syrian National Council, accused the
international community of failing to take
any serious position that would guarantee a
stop to the bloodbath ahead of the peace
talks.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights said airstrikes Tuesday killed
15 people, including two children, in the
rebel-held Shaar district.

RESTON, Va. Justice Ruth Bader
Ginsburg said Tuesday that Supreme Court
justices should work as long as they can and
shouldnt manipulate their retirement so a
like-minded president can appoint their suc-
cessor.
Some liberals have recently called on the
80-year-old Ginsburg to retire so President
Barack Obama can choose her replacement.
If she stays beyond his term, it would leave
open the possibility that a Republican
would name the liberal justices successor.
But Ginsburg, the oldest justice on the
court, cited Justices William Brennan and
Thurgood Marshall as two liberal justices
who left their replacement to Republican
presidents. Ginsburg said she supposed
many people wanted both men to leave
when a Democrat was president, but she
noted that neither did.
Brennan was appointed by Dwight D.
Eisenhower and announced his retirement in
1990 at the age of 84 for health reasons.
Marshall retired in 1991 at the age of 82.
George H.W. Bush chose David Souter and
Clarence Thomas as their respective succes-
sors.
Ginsburg made the comments during an
event hosted by the Northern Virginia
Technology Council. She was responding to
a question by moderator and former U.S.
Solicitor General Ted
Olson, who served as
solicitor general from
2001 to 2004 under
President George W.
Bush. Olson asked
whether justices should
time their retirements so
that a president of the
same party that appoint-
ed them could choose
their successors.
I think one should stay as long as she can
do the job, Ginsburg said in response.
Ginsburg said the number one question a
justice should ask is Can you do the job?
Can you think as well? Can you write
with the same uency? At my age you take it
year by year. Im OK this year, she said, to
applause.
Ginsburg has for years been fending off
questions about whether she should leave
the court, in part brought on by her health.
She had colon cancer in 1999, pancreatic
cancer in 2009 and also suffered broken ribs
more recently. Still, she has not missed any
time on the job.
This isnt the rst time Ginsburg has sug-
gested the party of the president will not
inuence her decision on when to retire. She
told The New York Times in August that
there will be a president after this one, and
Im hopeful that that president will be a ne
president.

Googles top searches
peer into societys mindset
SAN FRANCISCO Death, devices and
celebrity drove the quest for more informa-
tion on Googles search engine this year.
Three of the worlds four fastest-rising
search requests on Google were triggered by
the deaths of famous men.
Former South African President Nelson
Mandela, who died earlier this month, occu-
pied the top spot, followed by Fast &
Furious movie star Paul Walker, who died in
a Nov. 30 car crash. Glee TV series cast
member Cory Monteith, who died of a drug
overdose in July, ranked fourth in an annual
retrospective released Tuesday.
The Boston Marathon bombings in April
that killed three people ranked sixth.
The iPhone 5S, the latest upgrade in
Apples most popular product line, nished
third in Googles rankings. A rival smart-
phone, the Samsung Galaxy S4, took the
eighth spot. PlayStation 4, Sony Corp.s
newest video game console, held the ninth
position.
The Top 10 was rounded out by the Harlem
Shake, a song that inspired a procession of
amusing dance videos, at No. 5; royal baby
Prince George, the heir to Englands throne,
at No. 7; and North Korea, whose saber-rat-
tling has become a source of international
tension, at No. 10.
Googles review follows annual round-ups
compiled during the previous two weeks by
its main search rivals Microsoft Corp.s
Bing, Yahoo Inc. and Ask.com.
New data: Child abuse
down slightly, fatalities up
NEWYORK The number of U.S. children
victimized by abuse and neglect has dropped
for the sixth straight year, but child fatalities
linked to maltreatment increased by nearly 4
percent, according to the latest federal data.
According to the annual report released
Tuesday by the Department of Health and
Human Services, the estimated number of
victimized children in the 2012 scal year
was 686,000. Thats down from 688,000 in
2011 and from 723,000 in 2007.
But the report found that fatalities attribut-
able to child abuse and neglect increased from
1,580 in 2011 to 1,640 in 2012.
HHS said further research would be needed
to determine whether this represented a real
increase in child fatalities or reflected
improvements in how states investigate and
report these cases to determine which can be
attributed to abuse.
Two years ago, a Government
Accountability Ofce report asserted that
states used awed methods to tally and ana-
lyze the deaths of children who have been
maltreated. It said annual estimates of such
deaths were likely too low.

Christmas
Editor,
It is that time of the year again
the time of year we celebrate the
rebirth of the sun. The Persian reli-
gion of Mithraism celebrated the res-
urrection of the sun god Mithra on
Dec. 25. According to the ancients,
he was born of a virgin in a cave.
Numerous people who were there at
the time spread the word of his nativ-
ity far and wide.
Of course there is no mention of
the Bible since it wasnt yet created
by the Catholic Church. That had to
wait until the reign of Pope Julius
sometime between A.D. 309 and
A.D. 315. Bishop Libeious of Rome
decreed that the birth of Jesus was on
the same day as the birth of various
pagan sun gods.
Many Protestant churches such as
the early Puritans and the present day
Jehovahs Witnesses forbid the cele-
bration of Christmas because of its
entirely pagan origins.
But I say What the heck! go
ahead and celebrate the winter sol-
stice the rebirth of the sun as it
always has been celebrated since
caveman days. Enjoy good fellow-
ship with family and friends, feasts,
gift giving etc., just as my atheist
friends do.

(Dec. 16 edition of the Daily
Journal) thinks science is without
bias. How easy it is to manipulate
policy when the magic word sci-
ence is used to swindle the public.
Not saying the proverbial we
should dirty the air, etc. But the will-
ing participants in the man-caused
global warming profiteer crowd are
standing in the way of progress and
eventually, this great nation will
lose its sovereignty given way to
global politics. Follow the money
indeed.

The Modesto Bee
V
isionary businessman Jeff
Bezos was on 60 Minutes
last week, and he caused a
stir when he said that within four
years his company, Amazon, might
be delivering products via drones.
Thats right. Drones. These are
benign drones, working drones,
delivery drones.
Its a future Bezos, whose last big
idea turned into a huge Internet com-
pany, apparently already sees clearly.
We think Stanislaus County has a role
in Bezos future. In fact, weve got the
perfect homebase for Amazon Prime
Air. Call us the Drone-a-Zone. Drone-
topia. Drone Central.
Why? Serendipity. Amazon is
already on the ground in Stanislaus
County, west of Patterson near
Interstate 5. And so are the drones.
NASAconducts occasional experi-
ments at the former Crows Landing
Naval Air Station, often using
unmanned ying vehicles, i.e.,
drones.
Thats the same Crows Landing the
county envisions as the business park
of the future. Developer Gerry
Kamilos spent nearly six years trying
to turn the 1,500-acre World War II-era
facility into a job-generating busi-
ness park. He staked his plan on
trains.
But Patterson residents didnt relish
the thought of 50 or 60 freighters a
day passing through their community.
With a bad economy, he was nally
forced to give up his plan in 2012.
But the county hasnt been motion-
less. Weve been meeting once a
month, talking over West Side issues
and Crows Landing for over a year,
said Keith Boggs, the assistant execu-
tive ofcer of Stanislaus County and
the man most involved in the Crows
Landing project.
Patterson city leaders are on the
ground oor for an industrial park that
will be about four miles south of the
city.
City Manager Rod Butler said the
entities are working really closely
together. As we noted last month,
the county has contracted with
AECOM to produce an environmental
impact report so when a master devel-
oper is hired (perhaps by 2016) an
acceptable plan can be implemented
quickly. This time, the county is mak-
ing the sites aireld more central in
its planning.
One of the things were required to
do is to maintain some aviation com-
ponent, Boggs said. Weve got a
5,300-foot runway. ... Were really
excited about what this can be.
This is where Amazon can swoop
in. Some drones need runways. The
company built its fulllment center
one of the most modern logistics
facilities in the world from the
ground up in Patterson. Its lled with
robotics and computers and allows
Amazon to ship tens of thousands of
objects to customers every day. So, if
Amazon has a major facility a short
drive from a drone-ready facility, why
wouldnt it take advantage of the
obvious synergy?
Bezos knows his business best, and
Crows Landing might not play any
role.
But Patterson on Wednesday night
annexed more land to build even more
warehouses adjacent to I-5. One thing
the city failed to do, however, was
account for how it will build roads to
accommodate a whole lot more truck
trafc. Instead of the 95 cents per
square foot the county charges, the
city will charge only 7 cents. That
could hamstring any efforts to beef up
interchanges or surface streets to
accommodate more trucks and the cars
of thousands of workers.
Perhaps the city is already counting
on drones to keep things moving.
Probable trafc congestion aside,
Patterson is perfectly positioned to
play a signicant role in a future that
will almost certainly see drones
become a part of our daily lives.
Thats not to minimize the difculties
the FAAhas yet to develop rules,
drones arent self-directed, anything
with eight spinning blades can be
dangerous, etc.
Arecent editorial said that expanded
use of commercial drones is
inevitable.
So is the development of Crows
Landing.
The Crows Landing project is
western United States signicant,
said Boggs. If you can hit ve single
states and another country in a single
day-trip, youve got something.
The airstrip makes it even more
attractive especially to someone
putting wings on his dreams.
Amazon should let its drones take flight
Please, Santa!
W
e must believe in the principle of hope
the assumption that life can be different
than it is now. Henry Giroux,
Zombie Politics and Culture.
Santa, what I want for Christmas is hope. Ive made a
list of some things that I would like to see happen in this
country before too long before everything falls apart
completely:
President Obama and friends, in spite of the recalci-
trant Congress, will continue to get the Affordable Care
Act up and running.
Those tea party types wake up soon with at least a
smidgen of empathy and compassion and an inclination
to cooperate.
The economy will improve so that the income of the
average American will stop declining.
The taxes of the wealthy are raised enough so that we
dont need to suffer more government shutdowns, more
unemployment, less help for the needy, etc. As Patricia
Gray wrote in her poignant
letter to the editor on Dec.
12: We need to care for
each other and share the
bounty of the Earth. What
is our government, which
claims to be a democracy,
doing to share the wealth of
this nation?
The Citizens United law
is reversed so that corpo-
rate interests lose at least
some of their political
inuence.
College fees are brought
back down to a point where
most can afford it without going into interminable debt.
Football is outlawed because of the number of serious
concussions suffered by so many of the players.
Those in charge of Wal-mart, Inc. will become less
greedy and alter its business practices including paying
its employees living wages and discontinuing its practice
of exploiting its suppliers.
Our government leaders will grow up and learn to work
together. It is reported that this is the least productive
Congress ever, with the fewest laws passed.
Our democracy will survive and eventually ourish in
spite of the fact that at the present time our political,
media and nancial institutions, as described by Giroux,
are without a soul.
I know Im asking for a lot, Santa. You are very busy
this time of year. But losing hope is one of the most dan-
gerous things that can happen to any of us, because it
makes us feel that we are losing control of our lives and
depression can take hold. We wonder if it isnt more con-
ducive to our mental health to just not care any more to
try to protect our little corner of the world as best we can
and live for whatever enjoyment and distraction today can
bring and forget about the rest. We see so many people
around us doing this, we wonder if we, who have been so
concerned and caring up till now, should join what seems
to be uninvolved majority.
Making our own choices, taking responsibility for our
own actions and trying to ght injustice, irresponsibility
and dishonesty seems so futile. But the belief that we are
capable and competent to make some change is critical to
our health and happiness. This is basic to self-condence
and self-respect. It is necessary to optimism, which is
inextricably meshed with hope.
We have to feel some hope in order to survive. We have
to enjoy considerable hope in order to be happy. Santa, I
know you would tell me that it helps, when were on the
verge of hopelessness, to try to do something to alleviate
the problems that underlie our declining optimism. We
need to do something this holiday season that sustains or
renews hope in our lives and in the lives of others. We
need to let this holiday season be a reminder of our ability
to create joy, to give of ourselves, to come together in
goodwill and to rekindle the warmth of love and the feel-
ing that there may be hope for humankind after all. And
though the days of winter may seem dark and dreary and
events may be dismaying and depressing, we can light a
candle, offer cheerful greetings and do whatever we can to
improve life, especially for our loved ones and those in
need.
Lets hope that there are enough people in this country
who have the empathy, compassion, sense of responsibil-
i t y, honesty, decency and common sense to prevent our
ailing democracy from sinking even deeper into the
depths of the capitalistic abyss that is overwhelming and
corrupting it.
And we need to keep in mind what Gordon Livingston,
author of We Get Too Soon Old and Too Late Smart,
wrote: Like all values we teach our children honesty,
commitment, empathy, respect and hard work the
extreme importance of hope is taught by example.
Thanks for listening, Santa! I feel better already!

NEW YORK Nobody wanted to
stick their neck out on Tuesday.
The stock market edged slightly
lower as the Federal Reserve started a
two-day policy meeting that may her-
ald the beginning of the end for its
economic stimulus.
Few expect that the Fed will
announce that it plans to pare back, or
taper, its huge bond-buying program
after its meeting wraps up on
Wednesday. However, good news on
the U.S. economy this month, includ-
ing a blockbuster jobs report, and a
budget deal in Washington appeared to
have increased the likelihood of a
change.
Its just the taper drama, thats real-
ly all the market seems focused on,
said Dean Junkans, CIO for Wells
Fargo Private Bank. The chances of
them doing something tomorrow are
higher than they were a month ago.
Major stock indices fell, but just
slightly. The Standard & Poors 500
index eased ve points, or 0.3 percent,
to 1,781. The Dow Jones industrial
average crept down nine points, or 0.1
percent, to 15,875.26. The Nasdaq
composite edged lower by ve points,
or 0.1 percent, to 4,023. 68.
Eight of the ten industrial groups in
the S&P 500 declined, led by phone
companies. Materials stocks and tech-
nology companies edged higher.
A couple of big companies bucked
the downward trend after pledging to
hand more cash to stock holders.
Boeing rose $1.16, or 1 percent, to
$135.88 after the plane maker
increased its stock buyback program
by $10 billion and raised its dividend
52 percent. 3M climbed $3.73, or 3
percent, to $131.39 after raising its
dividend by 35 percent. The company
also forecast solid earnings next year.
Stocks have surged this year as the
Fed kept buying $85 billion in bonds
every month to hold down long-term
interest rates. As well as boosting the
economy, that stimulus has made
stocks a more attractive investment
compared to bonds.
The only setbacks for the market
this year have come when investors
were nervous that the Fed was about to
cut back its stimulus.
The S&P 500 index dropped 1.5 per-
cent in June when Fed Chairman Ben
Bernanke outlined a potential exit for
the Fed from its stimulus strategy. The
index fell 3.1 percent in August when
investors thought that the policy
would change in September.
Instead of worrying about the mar-
kets immediate reaction to the Feds
announcement on Wednesday,
investors should focus on the positive
backdrop for stocks, said Liz Ann
Sonders, chief investment strategist at
Charles Schwab.
The economy is improving, compa-
nies are investing more, and earnings
are forecast to grow at a steady rate,
ensuring there will be demand for
stocks.
Dips that we get are not going to be
terribly severe, Sonders said.
In government bond trading, the
yield on the 10-year Treasury note
dropped to 2.84 percent, from 2.88
percent on Monday, as investors
bought bonds on a day when the gov-
ernment said consumer prices remained
at. When prices rise, a trend known as
ination, the value of bonds falls.
In commodities trading, the price of
gold fell $14.30, or 1 percent, to
$1,230 an ounce. Oil dropped 26
cents, or 0.3 percent, to $97.22 a bar-
rel.
Stocks slip as Fed begins stimulus discussion
Its just the taper drama, thats really all the
market seems focused on. ...The chances of them doing
something tomorrow are higher than they were a month ago.
Dean Junkans, CIO for Wells Fargo Private Bank
By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON The growing gap
between the richest Americans and every-
one else isnt bad just for individuals.
Its hurting the U.S. economy.
So says a majority of more than three
dozen economists surveyed last week by the
Associated Press. Their concerns tap into a
debate thats intensied as middle-class pay
has stagnated while wealthier households
have thrived.
Akey source of the economists concern:
Higher pay and outsize stock market gains
are owing mainly to afuent Americans.
Yet these households spend less of their
money than do low- and middle-income
consumers who make up most of the popu-
lation but whose pay is barely rising.
What you want is a broader spending
base, says Scott Brown, chief economist
at Raymond James, a nancial advisory
firm. You want more people spending
money.
Spending by wealthier Americans, given
the weight of their dollars, does help drive
the economy. But analysts say the economy
would be better able to sustain its growth if
the riches were more evenly dispersed. For
one thing, a plunge in stock prices typical-
ly leads wealthier Americans to cut sharply
back on their spending.
The broader the improvement, the more
likely it will be sustained, said Michael
Niemira, chief economist at the
International Council of Shopping Centers.
A wide gap in pay limits the ability of
poorer and middle-income Americans to
improve their living standards, the econo-
mists say. About 80 percent of stock market
wealth is held by the richest 10 percent of
Americans. That means the stock markets
outsize gains this year have mostly benet-
ed the already afuent.
Those trends have fueled an escalating
political debate. In a speech this month,
President Barack Obama called income
inequality the dening challenge of our
time.
Obama also called for an increase in the
federal minimum wage, now $7.25.
Republican leaders in the House oppose an
increase, arguing that it would slow hiring.
Several states are acting on their own.
California, Connecticut and Rhode Island
raised their minimum wages this year. Last
month, voters in New Jersey approved an
increase in the minimum to $8.25 an hour
from $7.25.
Income inequality has steadily worsened
in recent decades, according to government
data and academic studies. The most recent
census gures show that the average income
for the wealthiest 5 percent of U.S. house-
holds, adjusted for ination, has surged 17
percent in the past 20 years. By contrast,
average income for the middle 20 percent of
households has risen less than 5 percent.
The AP survey collected the views of pri-
vate, corporate and academic economists on
a range of issues. Among the topics were
what policy decisions, if any, the Federal
Reserve might announce after it ends a pol-
icy meeting Wednesday.
Survey: U.S. income gap is holding back economy
Facebook testing video advertisements
NEWYORK Investors are giving a thumbs-up to the
idea of Facebook making hundreds of millions in new rev-
enue from video advertisements, but some users argue that
the social network is already too cluttered and has become
more about commercialism than communing with friends.
Facebook said Tuesday that its testing video advertise-
ments that show up in its users news feeds. As part of the
test, Facebook said some of its users on Thursday will see
a series of videos teasing Summit Entertainments upcom-
ing release of Divergent, a lm based on a young adult
novel with the same name, in their feeds.
The Menlo Park-based company says the idea is still in
the testing phase and that its not currently selling video
ads. The company wouldnt disclose pricing, but said its
goal is for the test feature is to make it a premium adver-
tising product thats used to reach large audiences at spe-
cic times.
Facebooks shares, which have posted substantial gains
over the past four months, hit an all-time high of $55.18
on the news, before closing up $1.05, or 2 percent, at
$54.86.
Gates Foundation hires university leader

Business briefs
California home sales drop in November
SAN DIEGO California home
sales slid last month amid tight sup-
plies, while prices held steady, a
research rm said Tuesday.
There were 33,429 new and existing
houses and condominiums sold in
November, down 10.8 percent from
37,481 sales the same period last year,
DataQuick said.
The median sales price was
$360,000, up 23.7 percent from
$291,000 the same period last year but
up only 0.8 percent from $357,000
October. It was the 21st straight
month of annual price increases and
12th straight month of annual gains
above 20 percent, though prices have
cooled since a torrid run earlier this
year.
Lack of inventory is keeping a lid on
sales. The California Association of
Realtors said Tuesday that the state had
a 3.6-month supply of unsold single-
family homes in November, better
than the three-month supply a year
earlier. Still, supply in a normal mar-
ket is considered ve to seven months.
Sales in the San Francisco Bay Area
slid 10.9 percent from last year to
6,659 homes, DataQuick said. The
median sales price in the nine-county
region was $550,000, up 25.6 percent
from $438,000 in November 2012 and
up 1.9 percent from $539,750 in
October.

MUTUAL ADMIRATION: BRUCE BOCHY SAID MICHAEL MORSE WAS HIS MAN, MORSE HAPPY TO BE WITH WINNING TEAM >> PAGE 12
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
In a league where having a dominant cen-
ter usually translates into a lot of wins, the
Half Moon Bay boys basketball team is
living large right about now.
At 6-0 for the fourth straight year, the
forecast points to a very successful basket-
ball campaign for the Cougars. And a lot of
that has to do with their man in the middle
No. 22, Rico Nuno.
Were not surprising anybody, said Half
Moon Bay head coach Rich Forslund.
Youre going to start getting peoples best
shot. People know about us. They know
this is the year where we have eight seniors.
This will be the best year weve had, well
since Ive been here. [The players are] slow-
ly but surely embracing that concept.
No one has embraced this idea of great-
ness better than Nuno. With one of the best
inside games the last couple of years in the
Peninsula Athletic League, this season nds
Nuno playing up to his potential. A lot of
that has to do with his natural basketball
gifts on the court. But some of it has to do
with Nuno, in his senior season, embracing
the idea that, with is size and skill, the PAL
is a league where few can keep up with what
he can do on the basketball court.
Hes showing signs of that realization.
During the Burlingame Lions Club tourna-
ment, Nuno was named the Most Valuable
Player in what equated to a dominant 18-
point, 12-rebound average per game. He and
the Cougars also walked away with the tour-
naments championship trophy denying
the host Panthers of the prize for the second
straight season.
For his MVP efforts, Nuno is the Daily
Journal Athlete of the Week.
I think he performed very well in all
three games, Forslund said. Hes taken a
much greater leadership role on and off the
court. Hes much more vocal than hes ever
been. ... I dont think there are a lot of kids
born with those leadership qualities and
maturity level. I think its something hes
denitely worked on and now has kind of
embraced that role. Before, he shunned away
from the spotlight and now I think he kind
of enjoys it.
Winning, and playing at a very high
level, helps with enjoying the spotlight.
And the swagger Nuno carries around with
him right now is something special to
watch.
In the Lions opener, Nuno went for 19
points and 13 rebounds in a nice statement
win over Aragon High School. He then fol-
lowed that up with an 18-and-7 performance

Hillsdales Amanda Diaz, right, beats Crystal Springs defender Ally Solorzano to the ball to score the Knights
second goal in a 4-0 Hillsdale win Tuesday afternoon inHillsborough.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Hillsdale girls soccer team
managed to win only one game
during Peninsula Athletic League
Bay Division play last season.
But if the Knights play the way
they did against Crystal Springs
Uplands School Tuesday, they
should be on track to win many
more than one this season in the
Bay Division.
Hillsdale dominated possession
as well as the game, scoring twice
in each half to shut out the
Gryphons 4-0.
We can possess the ball better
than we have (in the past), said
Hillsdale co-coach Samia Shoman.
We have new players and some
seasoned players and just (added) a
few of the missing pieces.
Crystal Springs, on the other
hand, just need to keep its collec-
tive heads above water as the
Gryphons try to get healthy and
more experience. Crystal Springs
coach Michael Flynn said his is
missing upwards of six starters
and had ve freshmen in the start-
ing lineup Tuesday.
Knights have no trouble with Gryphons

Half MoonBay center Rico Nuno averaged 18 points and 12 rebounds in three games as the
Cougars won the Burlingame Lions Club Invitational. Nuno was named tournament MVP.

The junior college football sea-
son never takes time off. And after
setting a record last year with more
than 30 student athletes heading to a
four-year university, it appears the
College of San Mateo is aiming to
break that mark.
Theyre off to a fast start.
Seven Bulldogs made four-year
university decisions with a couple
of all-state team members staying
local and committing to the
University of California at Berkeley
to try and solidify the Golden Bear
defense.
Safety Sam Atoe and defensive
tackle Trevor Kelly (El Camino)
committed to play for Cal next sea-
son. Assistant head coach and defen-
sive coordinator Tim Tulloch said
the two players narrowed their
choices to a trio of schools but ulti-
mately decided to go the Pac-12
route. Kelly, who returned to the
Peninsula after a year at Sacramento
State, was rewarded nicely for his
play and his decision to come back.
It can be stressful, Tulloch said
of the recruiting process. Its some-
thing we tell the kids, Be careful
what you wish for because it might
come true, and with [Kelly], of
course, it did. The whole recruiting
process, schools at times pressur-
ing you here and there and its a big
decision. Its not an easy decision.
You have to make a life decision.
What path am I going down?
Those guys are going to be able
to provide leadership immediately.
Theyll provide a passion for the
game, a tremendous work ethic.
Those guys are going to be Pac-12
impact guys. Every week, they were
monsters. We had monsters on both
sides of the ball.
Atoe and Kelly join Sione Sina,

the big time

SAN FRANCISCO Manager
Bruce Bochy went to his bosses and
asked them to pursue Michael
Morse. Meanwhile, the outelders
agent came to him with San
Franciscos interest and how it would
be a great t .
Morse sure thought so, too. And
given his willingness to play on a
one-year deal and perhaps try free
agency again after next season, it
worked out well for both sides.
The 31-year-old nalized his $6
million, one-year contract with the
Giants after passing his physical
Tuesday.
This is a winning organization,
Morse said. As a player your one
goal is to win and win a World
Series. Not only have the Giants
won, theyve won two in the last
couple years. What other team would
a guy want to play for, especially
with Boch as the manager?
Morse will head to spring training
in February expected to become a
power bat in the
middle of the
lineup and the
teams starting
left elder.
Thats a spot
general manager
Brian Sabean
and assistant
GM Bobby
Evans looked to
upgrade after his club missed the
playoffs one season after winning a
second World Series in three years.
In left eld, this is a guy I really
wanted. I told Brian that, and Bobby,
Gosh, if we can get this guy, I know
hes coming off some injuries, if
hes healthy hes a presence in the
lineup, power, which is what we
need, Bochy said. A guy whos
going to t on this club very nice-
l y.
Morse can earn an additional $3
million in performance bonuses. He
can play several positions and will
give Bochy some exibility in writ-
ing his lineup. Gregor Blanco, a reg-
ular last season, is set to move into a
fourth outelder role.
We had a big need out in left eld
and we were looking for a right-
handed bat and hopefully a power
run-producing bat, Bochy said. I
dont think we could have found a
better t for our club. Hes somebody
I really wanted and I know we did.
Morse was traded from Seattle to
Baltimore on Aug. 30. He missed
time this year with a troublesome
wrist, a broken right pinkie and
strained right quadriceps before
returning from the disabled list in
late July.
The nine-year veteran batted .215
with 13 home runs and 27 RBIs in 88
games this year.
Now, he is eager to return to his
top form from 2011, when Morse hit
.303 with 31 homers and 95 RBIs
for the Nationals.
I think the 2011 season is some-
thing I can do, he said. Thats my
big goal, to stay on the eld. I know
if I stay on the eld everything else
will fall into place.
Morses agents, Sam and Seth
Levinson, reached agreement on his
deal last Thursday at the end of the
winter meetings in Lake Buena
Vista, Fla.
He will be part of an outeld fea-
turing Angel Pagan in center eld
and Hunter Pence in right. Pagan
received a $40 million, four-year
contract last December, while Pence
was rewarded with a $90 million,
ve-year contract before the season
ended. He played every game this
year.
San Francisco already has had a
productive offseason. The Giants
missed the playoffs one year after
winning their second World Series
championship in three years, and
Sabean worked to keep his pitching
staff intact.
As everybody knows this offsea-
son has been a hectic one, Sabean
said. Our mission going into the
winter meetings was to hopefully
rectify our left eld situation. I think
we were very fortunate not only tim-
ing wise but we get a chance to sign
Michael. He has experience in that
position and brings power and pro-
duction to a lineup that sorely needs
it. From the standpoint of having a
wish list and checking off boxes,
this was a big opportunity for us we
obviously couldnt pass.
Right-hander Ryan Vogelsong
nalized a $5 million, one-year con-
tract Dec. 4 to re-join a rotation fea-
turing newcomer Tim Hudson,
signed to a $23 million, two-year
contract Nov. 19. Two-time NL Cy
Young Award winner Tim Lincecum
re-signed in late October for $35
million over two years, while lefty
Madison Bumgarner and right-han-
der Matt Cain are already pitching
on long-term contracts. The Giants
also re-signed left-handed reliever
Javier Lopez to a $13 million, three-
year contract last month.
Right elder Hunter Pence re-
signed before the season ended.
Its more than I thought would
happen for us as far as getting these
guys done, Bochy said. I cant say
enough about the great job theyve
done in keeping our club not just
intact, but I think were a better club
in our depth.

President Barack Obama sent Russia a clear message about
its treatment of gays and lesbians with who he is and isnt
sending to represent the United States at the Sochi
Olympics.
Billie Jean King will be one of two openly gay athletes in
the U.S. delegation for the opening and closing ceremonies,
Obama announced Tuesday. For the rst time since 2000, how-
ever, the U.S. will not send a president, former president, rst
lady or vice president to the Games.
Russia has come under erce criticism for passing national
laws banning gay propaganda. Though the White House did
not specically address the Russian laws in making its
announcement, spokesman Shin Inouye said the delegation
represents the diversity that is the United States and that
Obama knows they will showcase to the world the best of
America diversity, determination and teamwork.
The White House said Obamas schedule will not permit him
to attend the Games.
Its a positive sign to see openly gay representatives in the
delegation, said Michael Cole-Schwartz, spokesman for the
Human Rights Campaign, which recently sent a letter urging
Obama to include gays and lesbians in the delegation.
Hopefully it sends a message to the Russian people and the
rest of the world that the United States values the civil and
human rights of LGBT people.
King said she was deeply honored to be named to the dele-
gation.
I am equally proud to stand with the members of the LGBT
community in support of all athletes who will be competing in
Sochi and I hope these Olympic Games will indeed be a water-
shed moment for the universal acceptance of all people, said
King, who will attend the opening ceremony.
Hockey player Caitlin Cahow is the other openly gay repre-
sentative to the delegation. Shell attend the closing ceremo-
ny.
The U.S. Olympic Committee made no comment about the
sexual orientation of the delegation. In a nod to its disapproval
of the law, however, the USOC recently revised its non-dis-
crimination policy to include sexual orientation.
France and Germany are among the other countries who will
not send their presidents to Sochi for the Games.
Earlier this year, Obama rejected the idea of a U.S. boycott of
the Olympics despite a number of differences with Russia,
including the anti-gay law.
This move, however, sends a strong signal: In 2010, Vice
President Joe Biden led the delegation, and in 2012, rst lady
Michelle Obama held the honor.
This years group is led by former Homeland Security
Secretary Janet Napolitano. Others in the delegation include
U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, gure skater
Brian Boitano and presidential adviser Rob Nabors.

NEW YORK The rst full day of Februarys Sochi
Olympics, American television viewers can watch a mar-
quee event live from Russia in the morning.
In a shift from NBCs coverage of past games outside
North America, nearly every gure skating performance
will air on cable during the day, with the key moments
shown on tape delay on the main network that night as
in previous Olympics.
So if fans want to, theyll see the womens gold-medal-
winning performance on NBCSN when it happens,
instead of waiting until that evening. But they can also
watch it again hours later, accompanied by the polished
features that are the staple of NBCs prime-time broad-
casts.
For years, the networks argument for holding back the
most high-prole events was that nighttime is when the
most people are free to watch TV and when advertisers
and local afliates benet most. In one sense, nothing
has changed.
First and foremost, our mission is to protect prime
time thats still the No. 1 priority, said Jim Bell, the
executive producer for NBC Olympics.
But the other priority is to get more people to pay
attention, and for those who already care to stick around
longer. Meanwhile, technology kept evolving, and at
the 2012 Summer Games in London, NBC started stream-
ing every sport live online.
The network discovered it didnt hurt prime-time rat-
ings and may have even helped.
We think based on London those two goals align per-
fectly, Bell said Tuesday. We took a risk in streaming
everything live from London. The biggest takeaway was
we amplied and enhanced the audiences Olympic expe-
rience.
Even with the success of the streaming in 2012, the
network still received some criticism for not airing pop-
ular events live on TV. Especially on weekends, sports
fans are used to watching important games in the early
afternoon. And some people are unwilling or unable to
log into the online broadcasts, which will again be
available for every sport from Sochi.
With the last Winter Olympics in Vancouver, NBC
could broadcast gure skating live in prime time. But
there is a nine-hour difference between Sochi and the
U.S. Eastern time zone.

NEW YORK The New York
Yankees were hit with a $28 million
luxury tax bill, pushing their total
past the $250 million mark since
the penalty began in 2003.
According to Major League
Baseball calculations sent to teams
Tuesday, the Los Angeles Dodgers
were the only other team that
exceeded the tax threshold this year
and must pay $11.4 million. Boston
nished just under for the second
straight year, coming in $225,666
shy of the $178 million mark.
Figures include average annual
values of contracts for players on
40-man rosters, earned bonuses and
escalators, adjustments for cash in
trades and $10.8 million per team in
benets.
Because the Yankees have been
over the tax threshold at least four
consecutive times, they pay at a 50
percent rate on the overage, and
their $28,113,945 bill was second
only to their $34.1 million pay-
ment following the 2005 season.
The Yankees are responsible for
$252.7 million of the $285.1 mil-
lion in tax paid by all clubs over the
past 11 years.
Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner
said he hopes to get under the
threshold next year, when it rises to
$189 million. That would reset the
teams tax rate to 17.5 percent for
2015 and get the Yankees some rev-
enue-sharing refunds.
But following agreements
Tuesday on a $2 million, one-year
deal with second baseman Brian
Roberts and a $7 million, two-year
contract with left-hander Matt
Thornton, the Yankees are at $177.7
million for 15 players next year,
when benets are likely to total
between $11 million and $12 mil-
lion. Their only hope to get below
the threshold appears to be if an
arbitrator upholds most of Alex
Rodriguezs 211-game suspension,
relieving the team of a large percent-
age of the third basemans $25 mil-
lion salary.
Tax money is used to fund player
benets and MLBs Industry Growth
Fund.
The Yankees nished with the
highest regular payroll for the 15th
consecutive year, winding up at a
record $237,018,889. The Dodgers,
in their rst full season under new
ownership, were just $146,647
behind after nearly doubling spend-
ing from $129.1 million.
Regular payrolls include salaries,
earned bonuses and pro-rated shares
of signing bonuses.
Los Angeles had a higher payroll
for the tax: $243 million to New
Yorks $234 million. But because
the Dodgers didnt exceed the thresh-
old in 2012, they pay at a 17.5 per-
cent rate and owe $11,415,959.
They would pay at a 30 percent rate
if they exceed the threshold next
year.
Checks to the commissioners
ofce are due by Jan. 21.
Houston, which lost more than
100 games for the third straight sea-
son, had a payroll less than one-
eighth that of the Yankees and
Dodgers. The Astros nished at
$29.3 million, the lowest total in
the major leagues since the 2008
Florida Marlins and just $1.3 mil-
lion more than Rodriguez made with
the Yankees.
After trading many of their stars
following an unsuccessful rst sea-
son in their new downtown ball-
park, the Marlins lowered their pay-
roll to $42.3 million from $89.9
million in 2012. Minnesota
dropped from $101 million to $76
million.
Toronto boosted spending from
$92 million to nearly $126 million.
The average salary increased 7.1
percent, to $3,326,645 from
$3,105,093, according to MLBs
calculations, the steepest rise since
2006. The players association has
not yet released its nal gures for
this year.
Yankees hit with $28 million luxury tax
By John Zenor
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. Alabama
coach Nick Saban and the football
team are moving on.
Saban has put to rest the specula-
tion that he would replace Mack
Brown at Texas by striking a new
deal with Alabama.
For the third-ranked Crimson
Tide, the focus is on getting over the
loss to Auburn and trying to nish
the season strong in the Jan. 2
Sugar Bowl against No. 11
Oklahoma.
Saban had said Friday night after
agreeing to a new contract reported-
ly worth about
$7 million a
year that he
planned to retire
at Alabama.
He said there
were no talks
between his rep-
resentatives and
Texas and point-
ed to comments
on ESPN that he never considered
going to Texas.
I think Ive already made a reac-
tion to that, Saban said. Dont
you watch ESPN? Didnt you see
what they put down across the bot-
tom line. Thats my reaction to it.
I dont have any more reactions
to it. I think its kind of over so why
do we want to talk about that? We
look forward. Im looking forward. I
made a commitment to our players
that are here and Im happy to be
committed to them and I want them
to make the same kind of commit-
ment to the program and to their
future success.
Brown announced his resignation
at Texas on Saturday.
Several Texas regents and a former
regent were involved in a meeting
with Sabans agent last January to
gauge the coachs interest in com-
ing to Texas. Saban found the best
way to quash that talk: Re-upping
with the Tide.
Receiver Kevin Norwood never
doubted it.
I went home for the break or
whatever, and everybody was basi-
cally talking about it, Norwood
said. And I was like, Coach Saban
is not going anywhere. And what-
ever social media was saying, what-
ever was happening after that, I
pretty much ignored it.
Alabama (11-1) returned to the
practice eld on Tuesday for the rst
time since the Iron Bowl.
The game was tied until Chris
Davis returned a missed eld goal
109 yards for a touchdown on the
nal play to effectively end
Alabamas bid for a third straight
national championship.
Now, the team is gearing up for a
bowl trip that would be a prize for
most teams, but could be viewed as a
disappointment for the Tide.
Were red up playing
Oklahoma, defensive end Jeoffrey
Pagan said. Its not for a national
championship or anything, but
were going to go into it like it is.
Were going to try to nish this
season as strong as possible.
Left tackle Cyrus Kouandjio said
Saban brought up the 2008 season
when the Tide fell to Florida in the
SEC championship game and to
Utah in the Sugar Bowl.

HARTFORD, Conn. Police are investi-
gating the death of a 27-year-old woman with
ties to Aaron Hernandez, the former New
England Patriots player charged with murder.
Tabitha Perry was found unconscious and
not breathing inside a Southington home. She
died Monday.
Perry, of Bristol, survived a car accident in
June that killed Hernandezs friend Thaddeus
Singleton III. Police say she and Singleton,
who was married to Hernandezs cousin, had a
child together.
The state medical examiners ofce said
Tuesday that Perrys death required further
study, and police said they were waiting for the
results of toxicology tests.
There were no suspicious circumstances
found at the time of the investigation, Sgt.
Jeffry Dobratz said in a release.
Hernandez, who grew up in Bristol, is
charged with murder in the shooting death of
27-year-old Odin Lloyd, whose body was
found June 17 not far from Hernandezs man-
sion in North Attleborough, Mass. He has
pleaded not guilty.
Several people with ties to Hernandez have
died in the past six months.
Robert Valentine, a brother of Aaron
Hernandezs mother, died in a crash in August.
Singleton died June 30 when the car he and
Perry were in went off a road in Farmington,
went airborne and became lodged inside a
country club building.
Police have ruled that both crashes were
accidents.
Investigators have said that Singleton
introduced Hernandez to Ernest Wallace and
Carlos Ortiz, the two other defendants facing
charges in Lloyds death.
Wallace and Ortiz spent time living in the
home of Singletons wife, Tanya, according to
police. The men returned to that house, which
is owned by another Hernandez uncle, after
Lloyd was killed, according to court lings.

Quakes send D Morrow to Toronto
TORONTO Toronto FC has acquired
defender Justin Morrow from the San Jose
Earthquakes for allocation money.
The move beefs up Torontos backline,
with Morrow able to play fullback and cen-
ter back. In four years with the Earthquakes,
the 26-year-old American has played in 71
games with 63 starts.
Morrow started for the U.S. last January
when the U.S. and Canada played to a 0-0
draw in an exhibition game.
San Jose selected Morrow in the second
round of the 2010 MLS SuperDraft.
Major League Lacrosse
team selects female goalie
NEWYORK Goaltender Devon Wills has
become the rst woman to be selected by a
Major League Lacrosse team.
The New York Lizards claimed Wills from
the player pool. The move means Wills likely
will have a chance to make the team at train-
ing camp in April.
Wills, an assistant coach for the womens
team at Southern California, was a collegiate
star at Dartmouth and helped the United States
win gold in the 2009 and 2013 World Cups.
The Denver native says the selection by the
Lizards is a huge honor. She also says in a
release on Tuesday that shes excited to see if
she is good enough to make the team.

against a tough Menlo-Atherton team. Nuno
saved his best game for last. In a duel with
Burlingames own big man, Nick Loew, Nuno
out-shined his counterpart by scoring 18
points and pulling down 15 boards.
That was pretty darn good, Forslund said.
Hes one of the senior captain and hes really
matured this year.
And its because of this maturity that Half
Moon Bay has the chance to do something
really special. Forslund said Nuno and fellow
senior Corey Cilia bring a calming effect to
the Cougars. Last year, in tough games like
the ones against Aragon, M-A and
Burlingame, Half Moon Bay would have came
apart during a couple of big runs. This year,
with Nuno leading the charge, the Cougars
dont panic and look to No. 22.
In return, Nuno delivers.
Theyre showing theyre seniors no
longer sophomores or juniors theyre step-
ping up and kind of relishing that role,
Forslund said. And for the most part, theyve
(Nuno and Corey Cilia) performed brilliantly.
AOTW
Were trying to work with what we got,
Flynn said. We have no depth. If we can get
at least [two of our starters] back, it gives us
some depth and gives us some speed on the
wings.
Hillsdales strengths appear to be in the
mideld and defensive line. Senior attack-
ing midelder Kayla Coleman appears to
have the talent around her that will allow her
to get into the attack this season more than
at any other time in her Hillsdale career.
Over the past several years, shes has spent
time as the Knights sweeper as well as
defensive midelder out of sheer necessity.
With Coleman pushing into the attack
zone, she can use her pinpoint passing to
spring loose the Knights strikers.
She was always supposed to be attack-
ing, Shoman said.
Colemans calm and technical skill on the
ball seems to have rubbed off on the rest of
her teammates as the Knights spent most of
the rst half using one and two touches on
the ball to knock it around and build their
attack from the mideld.
Tayla Kelley, a sophomore, gives the
Knights a big target in the mideld as well
and she opened the scoring in the eighth
minute when she received a pass about 35
yards from goal and looped a shot over the
goalkeepers head, who was playing well
off her goal line, to put the Knights up 1-0.
Five minutes later, the Knights doubled
the score. Coleman took the ball on the left
wing and sent a pass to the top of the
Crystal Springs penalty box. Amanda Diaz
came running on and after stepping in front
of her defender, poked a shot past the goalie
for a 2-0 Hillsdale lead.
After that, the Knights just went on the
attack, sending a number of dangerous balls
out to the wings.
Thats more of the girls being more
excited, Shoman said of the change of
attack tactics. We want to build an attack
(from the mideld).
Crystal Springs stabilized in the second
half, getting more opportunities on the
ball, but the Gryphons were all but limited
to counter attacks.
Their offense was a little better in the sec-
ond half. After just getting off three shots in
the rst half, the Gryphons had ve in the
second half with four shots being on
goal.
Hillsdale, meanwhile, peppered the
Crystal Springs goalie in the second, forc-
ing her to make 10 saves on 14 shots.
Two of those shots, however, found the
back of the net. In the 63rd minute, Shayna
Bronstein sent a perfect pass to the top of
the penalty box. Marissa Musso ran onto
the ball, with a defender on her shoulder.
She made a cutback move to lose her defend-
er and placed a perfect shot off the far right
post and into the net for a 3-0 Hillsdale lead.
Right fullback Monika Vel rounded out the
scoring for the Knights. Working a give and
go on the right wing, Vel received the return
pass, beat a couple defenders and ripped a
shot from the top of the box that found the
back of the net for the nal goal of the
game.
Vels run is another added dimension to
Hillsdale, as just about all their defenders
have to ability to move up into the attack.
Vel, Valerie Chiang, and Sophia Dertossian
all joined in the offense at one point or
another during the game.
Thats a big difference, too (having
attacking defenders), Shoman said. We
have players (on the back line) who can
possess the ball and have the condence to
do that (join the attack).

Cheesecake by definition is rich
and decadent. So we knew that if we
were going to make a special cheese-
cake just for Christmas, it would need
to be even richer and even more deca-
dent.
So we started with an amazingly
indulgent cheesecake base a mere
32 ounces of cream cheese blended
with a cup of sugar and six eggs
then spiked it not only with vanilla
bean, but also chopped bittersweet
chocolate. But this is not standard
chocolate cheesecake. In our recipe,
the chocolate remains a distinct, deli-
ciously toothsome confetti strewn
throughout the cheesecake.
For that seasonal red and green we
have come to expect from our
Christmas treats, we top the finished
cake with warm red currant jam and
chopped pistachios. The result is as
delicious as it is beautiful.
RED CURRANT AND
CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE
Start to finish: 7 1/2 hours (30 min-
utes active)
Servings: 16
6 ounces chocolate wafer cookies
(2/3 of a 9-ounce package)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter,
melted
Four 8-ounce packages cream
cheese, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
6 eggs
1 vanilla bean or 2 tablespoons
vanilla extract
6 ounces chopped bittersweet
chocolate
1/2 cup red currant jelly
1/4 cup chopped pistachios
Heat the oven to 375 F. Coat a deep
10-inch cake pan with baking spray,
then line the bottom with kitchen
parchment.
In a food processor, combine the
chocolate wafer cookies and brown
sugar. Pulse until finely ground.
Drizzle in the butter and pulse to com-
bine. Transfer the mixture to the pre-
pared pare and press evenly over the
bottom. Bake for 12 minutes.
Remove from the oven and set aside.
Lower the oven temperature to 300 F.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl use an
electric mixer on medium-low to beat
the cream cheese until smooth. Take
care to not beat in any extra air, but to
scrape down the bowl thoroughly to
avoid any lumps. Add the granulated
sugar and beat again, scraping the
bowl thoroughly. Add the eggs one at
a time, again incorporating gently,
but thoroughly scraping the bowl.
Scrape in the seeds from the vanilla
bean or add the vanilla extract. Stir in
the bittersweet chocolate. Pour the
batter into the prepared pan over the
crust. Tap the pan gently on the
counter to eliminate any air bubbles.
Place the pan into a larger roasting
pan. Pour enough boiling water into
the roasting pan, taking care not to
get any into the cheesecake, to come
halfway up the sides of the cake.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until
just barely jiggly at the center. Turn
off the oven and prop the door open
with a spoon. Allow to cool for 2
hours. Remove the pan from the oven
and refrigerate until completely cold,
at least 4 hours.
When ready to unmold the cheese-
cake, run a paring knife around the
edge. Dip just the bottom of the pan
in hot water for 1 minute to loosen
the crust. Place a large plate over the
top of the pan, then flip the pan over
so that the cheesecake is upside down.
The cake should release onto the
plate. Remove the parchment from
the crust and place a serving platter
over it. Flip the cake a second time to
end with the cheesecake right side up.
Microwave the red currant jelly for
1 minute and stir until smooth. Spread
evenly over the top of the cheese-
cake. Garnish the edges with chopped
pistachios.

W
hat you want on Christmas
morning a house that effort-
lessly lls itself with joyous
sounds and delicious aromas. What you usu-
ally get on Christmas morning towers of
wrapping paper, hermetically sealed toys
that can be opened by no human, and a
kitchen that demands way too much of your
attention.
I cant help you with the wrapping paper
or packaging, but I can make your holiday
breakfast a little easier. Im a big believer
that Christmas morning is meant to be
spent under the tree, not at the stove. And
yet I still want the house to ll itself with
delicious aromas.
My solution? Ado-ahead breakfast casse-
role that I can prep the night before, then
just pop into the oven to bake unattended
while gift insanity commences. So this year
I created an indulgent dish that is equal parts
casserole, hash browns, fruit crumble and
French toast. Because.... why not? Its
Christmas.
This recipe makes plenty so its easy to
feed a crowd, particularly if you have guests
joining the fun closer to brunch. The left-
overs are easily reheated. I like it served
with a drizzle of maple syrup. But if youd
rather take this in a savory direction, add
chopped ham when combining the potatoes
and cheese.
FRENCH TOAST
HASH CRUMBLE CASSEROLE
Start to nish: 1 hour 15 minutes (15
minutes active)
Servings: 12
9 eggs
2/3 cup half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground
black pepper
8 slices sandwich
bread
4 cups (about 1
pound) frozen shredded
potatoes
3 large apples,
peeled, cored and diced
8 ounces (2 cups)
shredded cheese
2 cups all-purpose
our
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 tablespoon cinnamon
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs,
half-and-half, thyme, salt and pepper. Set
aside.
Coat a deep 9-by-13-inch baking pan
with cooking spray. Arrange 4 slices of the
bread in an even layer over the bottom of
the pan.
In a large bowl, toss together the pota-
toes, apples and cheese. Spread the mixture
evenly over the bread. Pour half of the egg
mixture evenly over the potatoes and
apples, pressing it with a fork to help it
absorb evenly. Top the potato mixture with
the remaining 4 slices of bread. Pour the
remaining egg mixture over the bread and
press gently with a fork to help it absorb.
In the same bowl used to mix the potatoes
and apples, combine the our, oats, brown
sugar, butter and cinnamon. Use your hands
to mix the ingredients together until evenly
blended. Spread the crumble topping evenly
over the bread. Cover tightly with plastic
wrap and refrigerate until morning.
When ready to bake, heat the oven to 375
F. Uncover the baking dish and bake for 1
hour, or until lightly browned and crisp.

By Sara Moulton
My choice for an elegant holiday dinner?
Its hard to beat a roast, and more often than
not my pick is a lean and moist pork tender-
loin.
But lets face it, as much as we want to be
healthy, there is such a thing as roast that is
too lean. Alack of fat often means a lack of
avor. So how to make up this decit? With
plenty of high-avor ingredients, like pro-
sciutto, fresh herbs, mushrooms and wine.
Prosciutto packs a ton of avor, and the
slight amount of fat it adds is well worth it.
As for the herbs, I took a tip from the
Italians, who often top off a grilled steak
with fresh herbs and a drizzle of olive oil. I
tested out several herbs in this recipe, both
alone and in combinations. Though I was
rooting for fresh sage a classic match
with prosciutto my tasting panel (the
family) overruled me in favor of rosemary
and thyme.
Given the roasts Italian inections, I
chose a mushroom Marsala sauce to go with
it. Any mushroom will work, from the most
affordable white button to the quite pricey
shiitake. Whichever you choose, if you
need to save time you usually can usually
nd them sliced and ready to go at the super-
market.
If you dont have Marsala at home, you
can swap in Madeira, dry sherry, white ver-
mouth, or even white or red wine. All pair up
nicely with mushrooms. And, as ever, if you
dont want to use alcohol, leave it out.
In order to stuff these pork roasts, you
need to buttery them. If youve never done
this before, dont worry. You simply lay the
log-shaped roast on a cutting board and,
using a sharp knife, cut in from the side of
the roast about halfway down. Cut almost
but not completely through; leave about
1/2 inch of meat on the far side. You should
be able to open the roast like a book.
Next, put plastic wrap on top of the roast
and using either a meat pounder or rolling
pin pound it to an even thickness. You
can help to make sure that the meat wont
stick to the plastic and tear if you rst sprin-
kle both sides of it with some water. And
even if the meat does shred a bit, dont
worry. It will knit back together as it cooks.
One of the great things about this recipe
is that you can prepare and roll the roast a
day ahead. You also can make the mushroom
sauce in advance, then warm it up in the
saute pan after youve browned the pork
roast, which allows you to take advantage
of any browned bits sticking to the bottom
of the pan after the roast has left the prem-
ises. This isnt just smart time manage-
ment, its good cooking; both the roast and
the sauce will taste better if you prepare
them a day ahead of time. And itll free you
up to prepare the rest of your holiday meal
on the big day itself.
DOUBLE PORK ROAST WITH
MUSHROOM MARSALA SAUCE
Start to nish: 1 hour
Servings: 6
2 pork tenderloin roasts (3/4 to 1 pound
each), trimmed of all fat
2 tablespoons packed fresh rosemary
leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons packed fresh thyme leaves,
chopped
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil,
divided
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1/2 cup nely chopped shallots or onion
1/2 pound mushrooms (cremini, white
button, shiitake, oyster or a mix), trimmed
and sliced
1/2 cup dry Marsala wine
1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon all-purpose our
Heat the oven to 350 F.
Cut down through each tenderloin length-
wise so that you can open it up like a book,
but do not cut all the way through. Sprinkle
water on the cutting board under the tender-
loin and sprinkle a little water on top of the
tenderloin (this will help prevent the meat
from tearing when you pound it). Cover the
tenderloin with plastic wrap and pound the
meat using a meat mallet or rolling pin until
it is about 1/2-inch thick.
Sprinkle half the rosemary and thyme
leaves all over the inside of each butteried
and pounded pork tenderloin and spread the
prosciutto evenly in one layer over the
herbs. Beginning with the long end, roll up
the tenderloin tightly, tucking in the ends
(as you would a burrito). Use kitchen twine
to tie the roll in a bundle, tying it every 2
inches.
In a large nonstick skillet over medium-
high, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Season
the pork lightly on all sides with salt and
pepper, then add it to the skillet.
Sear until golden brown on all sides.
Transfer the pork to a shallow baking pan,
then roast on the ovens middle shelf until
the center reaches 145 F, about 20 to 25
minutes. Remove the pork from the oven
and cover loosely with foil.
Meanwhile, make the sauce. Return the
skillet to medium heat. Add the remaining 2
tablespoons of oil and the shallots and
cook, stirring, until the shallots are gold-
en. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring
often, until the mushrooms give off all their
liquid and are lightly browned.
Add the Marsala and simmer until almost
all of it is reduced. Add 1 cup of the chicken
broth and bring back to a boil. In a small
bowl whisk the remaining 1/4 cup of chick-
en broth with the our. Add the our mixture
to the skillet in a stream while whisking
and simmer for 2 minutes. Add any juices
that have accumulated from the resting pork
to the sauce.
Slice the pork crosswise into 1-inch-
thick slices. Transfer several slices to each
of 6 serving plates. Spoon some of the
mushroom sauce over each serving.

Embers ignited a second smaller spot re
that was quickly extinguished, he said.
The primary blaze, which sent a large
plume of smoke into the air, burned for more
than eight hours before being controlled as
of about 9:45 a.m., Palisi said.
No injuries were reported, he said.
Ofcials were advising any residents in
the area who smell smoke to stay indoors
with their windows closed, though the advi-
sory was only issued as a precaution, Palisi
said.
The shelter-in-place was issued as an
advisory, not a warning, he said.
Seaport Boulevard reopened at about 8
a.m. after being closed for more than seven
hours, although public access to the recy-
cling facility
remained closed.
On Nov. 10, a re at the same facility
burned in a pile of heavy recyclables and
took more than seven hours to control.
Sims Metal Management issued a state-
ment Tuesday morning promising to inves-
tigate the cause, including sources of the
material in the stockpile.
No cause has yet been ruled out, the
statement said.
The company said the timing of the two
res a month apart raises concerns and
said new policies were implemented after
last months blaze, including reducing
stockpile sizes and separating light iron
from auto bodies.
FIRE
wrong; it singles out our military retirees,
protested Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., at a
news conference shortly before the vote.
By late afternoon, the bipartisanship had
faded as Republicans ratcheted up their criti-
cism and maneuvered for political gain. A
proposal aimed at removing the retirement
provision failed on a near party-line vote of
46-54. Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan of North
Carolina, who faces a difcult challenge for
re-election, was the only senator to switch
sides.
How could any commander in chief sign a
bill that does this, said Sen. Lindsey
Graham, R-S.C., who faces a primary chal-
lenge back home in 2014. He did not men-
tion that the legislation drew overwhelm-
ing support from House Republicans only
last week, including Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio, and the rest of the leader-
ship.
The provision related to military retire-
ment was a relatively small part of legisla-
tion that itself was born of less-than-lofty
ambitions.
Rather than reaching for a so-called grand
bargain to reduce long-term decits, law-
makers decided to reduce across-the-board
cuts already scheduled to take effect, restor-
ing about $63 billion over two years. The
legislation includes a projected $85 billion
in savings elsewhere in the budget.
Because spending would rise immediately
but many of the savings would take place
later in the decade, decits would increase as
a result of the measure for the current budget
year and the two that follow. Over the 10-
year period, the legislation measure shows a
$23 billion cut in red ink a trie compared
with the governments overall debt of more
than $17 trillion and rising.
Graham was far from the only senator crit-
icizing the military-retirement provision.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said he was
voting for the legislation because it would
cancel a $20 billion cut that would hit the
Pentagon in January and with the knowl-
edge that the retirement provision could be
changed before it took effect.
All three voted against advancing the bill,
but Republicans who were on the other side
said they, too, were expecting lawmakers to
reconsider the retirement action in 2014.
That gives some of us some comfort, said
Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, one of 12 GOP
senators to side with all 53 Democrats and
two independents in voting to ease the
measure over a 60-vote threshold.
It had been clear for several days that the
overall measure was headed for Senate pas-
sage, particularly after the Republican-con-
trolled House had voted overwhelmingly
last week to approve it.
The political pressure on the GOP leader-
ship there had been to demonstrate an abili-
ty to govern effectively and begin to dissi-
pate some of the fallout from last Octobers
17-day partial government shutdown.
That concern was less of a factor among
Senate Republicans, who are in the minori-
t y. Several face tea party-backed challengers
in primaries next year, and their rivals have
called for the legislations defeat.
The partys top leaders, including Sens.
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and John
Cornyn of Texas, both voted against
advancing the legislation. Yet they made no
attempt to organize an attempt to derail it,
an outcome that would have forced new and
uncertain negotiations with the House and
raised the prospect of a shutdown.
Despite the internal divisions, Sen. Jerry
Moran of Kansas, who chairs the GOP sena-
torial campaign committee, said he doubted
the legislation would gure prominently in
any Republican primaries next year. My
analysis of this issue is that it can be seen
either way, he said.
Among the savings embedded in the legis-
lation are an increase in the airline ticket tax
to pay for airport security, higher fees on
corporations whose pensions are guaranteed
by the government, an extension of exist-
ing cuts in payments to Medicare providers
and a requirement for future federal workers
to pay more toward their own pension costs.
The one provision belatedly causing
political heartburn would hold down cost-of-
living increases in benets that go to mili-
tary retirees until age 62. Increases would be
held to one percentage point below the rate
of ination beginning in December 2015.
The total estimated savings, $6.3 billion,
was less than 10 percent of the overall
amount in the legislation.
But it was aimed at one of the most politi-
cally potent groups in the country, and vet-
erans organizations and their allies in
Congress responded particularly after
officials confirmed that the curtailment
would apply to the retirement benets of
veterans who leave the service on disability.
At a news conference, Ayotte, Graham and
Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi stood
next to an oversized chart estimating that a
sergeant rst class who retires at age 42 after
20 years of service would lose $71,956 in
benets over a lifetime.

install sensors embedded in the pave-
ment of parking spaces to detect real-
time availability using the hands-free
app. It also updates information about
garage and lot location parking spots.
Users can even pay for parking
through the app.
Burlingame recently decided to work
with Streetline after it found the maps
of its parking garages werent accu-
rate, said Vice Mayor Terry Nagel.
As of a couple weeks ago, the maps
were made accurate after staff worked
with the company to x them but the
city doesnt have a contract with
Streetline to allow for up-to-date park-
ing space information. There are city
parking sensors called SmartMeters on
Burlingame Avenue and the city wants
to see how they work before looking
into the costs of implementation for
the rest of the downtown area, said
Public Works Director Syed Murtuza.
You can go and look at where park-
ing is and plan around that, said
Murtuza. It took only a few weeks to
x and it is very advantageous.
Nagel said shes received a lot of
positive feedback about the app, espe-
cially with the Burlingame Streetscape
beautication project. The city needs
to do everything it can make parking
easier for people, she said.
Im getting people coming up to me
and saying this is great, she said.
One of big problems we have in
Burlingame is people are not aware of
parking lots around the area. Its really
very handy with so many people who
continue to complain about there not
being enough parking.
Currently, there are 40 locations in
United States with the real-time park-
ing availability and three places in
Europe. There are 25,000 garages and
lots across the U.S. on the app.
Of those 40 cities, both San Carlos
and San Mateo partnered with Cisco to
install the sensors free of charge as
pilot projects with Streetline. San
Carlos pilot began in October while
San Mateos started about a year ago
and focuses on better managing down-
town parking. Redwood City is also
using the real-time app.
The San Carlos project was some-
what controversial since some resi-
dents worried it could mean the city
was trying to explore charging for
parking by observing how much park-
ing is used and on what days and at
what times. The evaluation also looks
at how long cars are parking in key
locations throughout downtown.
Matt Bronson, San Mateos assis-
tant city manager, said of the citys
3,000 downtown parking spots, the
sensors are in about 135 street parking
spaces on Third Avenue and B Street.
The project lasts two years.
So far its worked out well,
Bronson said. It helps the city better
identify parking demand and how we
can better manage and enforce parking
spaces downtown. Theres a relatively
high demand of on-street spaces in
downtown. At its core, its data to help
the city and customers to make better
choices.
Over the next year and beyond, if the
city continued to use the service it
would do additional marketing for the
app. San Mateo is currently evaluating
the use of parking sensors and their
benets, Bronson said. It is looking
into mobile payments, street garage
pay stations and garages that tell users
how many spaces are available.
Kurt Buecheler, Streetlines senior
vice president of business develop-
ment, and the companys services are
very helpful to customers, merchants,
cities and, eventually, car vendors.
Streetline also has a ParkerMap app,
which allows merchants to publicize
available parking around a facility.
Its very rare to find a win-win in
life and this is a win-win-win, he
said. Parking is the third largest rev-
enue source in city.
He said in the future, cameras will
also play a role in determining park-
ing occupancy.
Cities have seven financial options
for the real-time parking updates.
They include a $200 activation fee, a
monthly charge that depends on
which software application used and a
$20 per space per month.
Buecheler said Parker generates
additional revenue for the city and
with smart parking it gets people
turning off their cars faster since they
spend less time searching for a spot
doing a blind squirrel shuffle.
According to Streetlines data, the
app has led to a 41 percent decrease in
time spent looking for parking, a 22
percent decrease in vehicle miles trav-
eled while looking for parking and a
decrease in 20 percent in price paid
for a parking space by hour for those
areas with demand-based pricing.
Theres less CO2 emissions, he
said. When you lower congestion,
you raise a citys gross domestic
product. People really, really find
parking to be a pain in the neck and
people are saying hallelujah with this
app.

in court with his attorney but delayed a
plea until Dec. 20 and remains in cus-
tody without bail. At Fridays appear-
ance, McClintons defense attorney is
also expected to request bail be set
although the prosecution opposes his
release.
McClintons alleged actions Dec. 13
left his wife of eight years with a major
facial gash and shut down afternoon
bridge trafc rst by crashing the car
and then struggling to get them over
the ledge. Bystanders grabbed his wife
by the legs and kept her from dropping
but McClinton fell about 15 feet into
the water and had to be rescued. He was
arrested after the U.S. Coast Guard and
re ofcials pulled him from the water.
McClintock, who has three children
with his wife, had been acting strange-
ly for about two weeks prior to the
bridge incident, District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe said.
This seems like something may
have caused a psychiatric break,
Wagstaffe said. According to the vic-
tim, up until two or so weeks ago he
was living a normal life.
He reportedly thought people were
breaking into his home and trying to
kill him although nobody was actually
there. On Dec. 13, the wife was driving
the couple through San Francisco but
McClinton kept grabbing at the wheel
which led her to pull over and change
seats with him, Wagstaffe said.
McClinton drove them onto the
Peninsula bridge and as they argued,
McClinton tried driving the vehicle
off the side but ended up crashing about
2:25 p.m., Wagstaffe said.
He then allegedly pulled his wife
from the vehicle and tried to go over
the bridge side with her until other
people intervened.
All bridge lanes reopened shortly
after 4 p.m. but trafc remained snarled
for hours.
McClinton is a personal trainer
known in the Marin community by the
moniker X, according to a 2011 pub-
licity announcement about how he
overcame adversity to reach success
and help children develop self-esteem.
Defense attorney Anthony Brass did
not return a call for comment.
Foster City police are seeking wit-
nesses to the incident. Anyone with
information is asked to call 286-3300.
