WASHINGTON Past its own
New Years deadline, a weary
Congress sent President Barack
Obama legislation to avoid a nation-
al scal cliff of middle class tax
increases and spending cuts late
Tuesday night in the culmination of
a struggle that strained Americas
divided government to the limit.
The bills passage on a bipartisan
257-167 vote in the House sealed a
hard-won political triumph for the
president less than two months after
he secured re-election while calling

The countrys antiquated work visa
restrictions has sent a Sunnyvale-based
company on a radical mission to host
entrepreneurs from around the world in
international waters on either a convert-
ed cruise ship or barge by as early as the
rst quarter of 2014.
Blueseed has just secured $300,000 in
venture capital funding to help get the
project off the ground although the com-
pany anticipates needing up to $35 mil-
lion to make the offshore community a
reality.
It proposes to station a ship in interna-
tional waters off the coast of Half Moon
Bay and have residents commute to
Pillar Point Harbor via ferry.
The location will allow startup entre-
preneurs from anywhere in the world to
start or grow their company near Silicon
Valley, without the need for a U.S. work
visa, according to Blueseed.
The company was co-founded in 2011
by Max Marty and Dario Mutabdzija,
who had worked together at the
Seasteading Institute, which promotes
the concept of oating cities and con-
tends the ocean is the next frontier of
human civilization.
It is a rst-of-its-kind concept that
will basically house companies,
Mutabdzija said.
The company is also considering leas-
ing a cruise ship that could bring down
the cost of the venture substantially, he
told the Daily Journal.
Its the next evolution in the ship
industry, Mutabdzija said.
Ship residents will be charged from
$1,200 to $3,000 a month for living and
ofce space, according to Blueseed.
Ship amenities will include catering,
full-service gymnasium, medical servic-

Joshua Bernard Lam decided
2013 was too good to miss.
He was due Jan. 2 but instead was
born at 12:39 a.m. Jan. 1, making
Lam the rst baby born in San
Mateo County this year. Thankfully,
his parents hadnt made any other
plans for ringing in the New Year.
Parents Jenny Yeh, 38, and Loren
Lam, 45, had a lot of waiting to do
before welcoming their new, very
quiet bundle of joy. Yehs water
broke at 6:30 a.m. Monday, Dec. 31.
The Palo Alto family checked into
the Mills-Peninsula Medical Center
in Burlingame by 8 a.m. Thats
when the waiting began.
Labor was induced for the couple
and even that took some time. She
started really pushing at 9:15 p.m.
Joshua, the couples rst, was 7
pounds 14 ounces and 20.5 inches in
length. The couple wanted to use a
name from the bible.
Lam and Yeh a hardware engi-
neer and patent attorney, respective-
ly have known each other about
12 years and have been married
four. They plan to take the little one
home later this week. There were
lots of worries at rst but now that
Joshua is born theyre both pretty
calm, they said.
In Redwood City, the Clayton
family from Menlo Park welcomed
their third boy, James Owen, at 1:29
a.m. New Years Day.
Diana and Bill Clayton were

New Years Eve at home Monday
night, Diana Clayton realized it was

A family in San Mateos Shoreview neigh-
borhood has been ordered to vacate their
home as the city is seeking the court to declare
the property on Lindbergh Street a continu-
ing public nuisance.
The city led a complaint in Superior Court
against Patricia Barnes and Mark and
Kimberly Klaiber Dec. 20 after the family
failed for years to clean up the property and
bring it up to code.
Mark Klaiber has even lived in a tent in the
front yard of the home to protect his property,
he told the city.
The family received its first abatement
notice for code problems way back in 1995 for
the Lindbergh property, according to the com-
plaint.
The Klaibers were issued a building permit
in 2001 to construct a rst-oor reduction and
a second-oor addition on the home but those
permits have been open for more than 10
years and a city building inspector determined
the work should have taken no more than two
years to complete, according to the claim.
Neighbors complained to the city for years
about the property since there was constant
debris and construction maintained on the
property, according to the complaint. The
family was asked to give the city a detailed
timeline in 2006 for when the project would
be complete and threatened to le a lawsuit
against the family to have it comply with the
citys municipal code. The family said at the
time the work would be completed in 190
days, but it never was.
Some of the most recent code enforcement
violations the family were hit with include use
of the property as a dumping ground; haz-
ardous or unsanitary premises, debris, junk,
garbage and vegetation accumulations on the
property; re hazard, excessive accumulation
of storage, junk and/or debris on the property;
inadequate exits, excessive accumulation of
storage, junk creating potential safe egress
hazard; and storage in public view, junk,
debris, construction materials stored in public
view.
Barnes is Kimberly Klaibers mother and
the family had a young child living on the
property, according to the complaint.
The city red-tagged the home in May and
ordered the family to vacate and make the
needed repairs.
The violations were found to be immediate-
ly dangerous, according to the complaint.
An inspection of the home in April revealed
sheetrock missing throughout, unsafe electri-
cal wiring, debris and combustibles piled up
excessively and blocking exits, no handrails
on the stairwell and holes in the stair landings
with unnished work, according to the com-
plaint.
A nonprot agency, Rebuilding Together,
even had a slew of volunteers come to the
property in August to help clean up the prop-
erty but were told by the Klaibers in
September that their assistance was no longer
desired, according to the complaint.
The city, depending on court action, may
actually hire a contractor to perform the need-
ed repairs to the home and clean up the yard at
the familys expense.
A hearing on the preliminary injunction is
scheduled for Feb. 14.
Neither the Klaibers nor Barnes could be
reached for comment.

A man with an assault rie in his car removed
his clothes and brandished a Samurai sword at
police in west San Jose for more than two hours
yesterday before he was arrested while trying to
ee, a San Jose police spokesman said.
Coco Bennett, 29, of unknown residence,
was arrested on suspicion of brandishing a
weapon and possession of an assault rie, San
Jose police spokesman Ofcer Albert Morales
said.
Police recovered an AR-15-type assault rie,
with a magazine and live ammunition, from
Bennetts car during the standoff at the Santa
Clara Valley Transportation Authority light rail
station on Bascom Avenue and Southwest
Expressway, Morales said.
The incident began several miles to the east
at 8:05 a.m. when police answered a report that
a person was armed with an assault rie in front
of a residence near Ezie Street and Cas Drive in
east San Jose, Morales said.
When police reached the residence, the sus-
pect was not there but, based on a description
by witnesses of the suspects pickup truck,
patrol ofcers spotted the vehicle near the VTA
station at about 8:30 a.m., Morales said.
The suspect drove into the stations
parking lot, began to take off his clothing
and emerged from the truck naked while
brandishing an unsheathed Samurai sword
at officers, Morales said.
He said, Youre going to have to kill me
to the ofcers, Morales said.
Ofcers closed the rail station, secured the
immediate area and recovered the assault rie,
magazine and bullets from the pickup truck,
Morales said. Police notied the departments
Crisis Intervention Team, which sent members
over to talk to the suspect into giving up,
Morales said.
The thing we have on our side is time,
Morales said of the more than two-hour negoti-
ation that that followed.
There is no sense in rushing it, Morales
said. Ultimately, we wanted him to drop the
sword.
The crisis team attempted to cajole the nude
suspect into standing down as a crowd of
bystanders and a lot of media gathered at the
scene, Morales said.
Finally at 11 a.m., the suspect, still carrying
the sword, bolted toward a fence and tried to
scale it, fell down, dropped the weapon, was
taken into custody and transported to a hospital
for treatment for minor injuries, Morales said.
Police were trying to determine what may
have prompted the suspect to act the way he
did, including his state of mental health and
whether drugs or alcohol were factors, Morales
said.
Some people in the neighborhood of Ezie
Street and Cas Drive, where the original call
came from, knew Bennett, Morales said.

NEWTOWN, Conn. Since escaping a
gunmans rampage at their elementary school,
the 8-year-old Connors triplets have suffered
nightmares, jumped at noises and clung to
their parents a little more than usual.
Now parents like David Connors are brac-
ing to send their children back to school, near-
ly three weeks after the shooting rampage at
Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
It wont be easy for the parents or the chil-
dren, who heard the gunshots that killed 20 of
their classmates and six educators.
Im nervous about it, Connors said. Its
unchartered waters for us. I know its going to
be difcult.
Classes are starting Thursday at a repur-
posed school in the neighboring town of
Monroe, where the students desks have been
taken along with backpacks and other belong-
ings that were left behind in the chaos follow-
ing the shooting on Dec. 14. Families have
been coming in to see the new school, and an
open house is scheduled for Wednesday.
An army of workers has been getting the
school ready, painting, moving furniture and
even raising the oors in the bathrooms of the
former middle school so the smaller elemen-
tary school students can reach the toilets.
Connors, a 40-year-old engineer, felt reas-
sured after recently visiting the new setup at
the former Chalk Hill school in Monroe. He
said his children were excited to see their
backpacks and coats, and that the family was
greeted by a police ofcer at the door and
grief counselors in the hallways.
Teachers will try to make it as normal a
school day as possible for the children,
schools Superintendent Janet Robinson said.
We want to get back to teaching and learn-
ing, she said.

Hillary Rodham Clinton continues to recover in
a New York hospital where shes being treated
for a blood clot in her head.
Her doctors say blood thinners are being used
to dissolve the clot and they are condent she
will make a full recovery. Clinton didnt suffer
a stroke or neurological damage from the clot
that formed after she suffered a concussion dur-
ing a fainting spell at her home in early
December, doctors said in a statement Monday.
Clinton, 65, was admitted to New York-
Presbyterian Hospital on Sunday when the clot
turned up on a follow-up exam on the concus-
sion, Clinton spokesman
Phillipe Reines said. The
clot is located in the vein in
the space between the brain
and the skull behind the
right ear. She will be
released once the medica-
tion dose for the blood
thinners has been estab-
lished, the doctors said.
In their statement, Dr.
Lisa Bardack of the Mount
Kisco Medical Group and Dr. Gigi El-Bayoumi
of George Washington University said Clinton
was making excellent progress and was in good
spirits.

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY CITY OF FOSTER CITY GILEAD SCIENCES INTEGRATED
CORPORATE CAMPUS MASTER PLAN DRAFT SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT AND PUBLIC HEARING - January 17,2013
State Clearinghouse # 2008122064
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of Foster City, as Lead Agency, has completed a Draft Subsequent
Environmental Impact Report (Subsequent EIR) for the Gilead Sciences Integrated Corporate Campus Master Plan (2012
Master Plan). The 2012 Master Plan would amend the Vintage Park General Development Plan, under which the 20 I
0 Corporate Campus Master Plan (20 I 0 Master Plan) was approved. The amendments would increase the amount of
building space and land area beyond that identied in the 2010 Master Plan. The 2010 Master Plan was examined in the
Gilead Sciences Corporate Campus Master Plan EIR, which was certied on February 16, 20 I O.
PUBLIC HEARING: The Planning Commission is schedu led to receive public comments on the Subsequent EIR on
January 17,2013, at 7:00 p.m. at roster City Council Chambers, located at 620 Foster City Boulevard.
PUBLIC REVIEW TlMELlNE: The public review period for the Subsequent EIR begins December 14,2012 and ends
January 28, 2013. The City must receive all written comments regarding the adequacy of the Subsequent ErR wit hin this
time period. Written comments may be submitted in person, by mail, bye-mail, or by fax. The mailing address is 610 roster
City Boulevard, Foster City, Californ ia 94404, the email address is kkojayan@fostercity.org and the fax number is (650)
286-3589. Direct all comments to the attention of Kohar Kojayan, Senior Planner.
DOCUMENT AVAILABILITY: Copies of the Subsequent EIR are ava ilable for review Monday through Friday,
between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., at the City of Foster City City Hail, Community Development Department,
610 Foster City Boulevard, Foster City, California, 94404, except on specied holidays. The Subsequent EIR is also
available at the Foster City Public Library, at 1000 East Hillsdale Boulevard, and online, at http://www.fostercity.org!.

park owned by Gilead Sciences. The project site is bounded by East Third Avenue to the north, Vintage Park Drive/Marsh
Drive to the east, Bridgepointe Shopping Center/Home Depot in San Mateo to the south, and Mariners Island Boulevard
in San Mateo to the west. Figure I depicts the location of the project site.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed project would amend the 2010 Master Plan and the Vintage Park General
Development Plan to incorporate and develop an additional approximately 32 acres acquired from Electronics for Imaging
(EFI) adjacent to the 40-acre site comprising the 20 I 0 Master Plan. The 2012 Master Plan would redevelop a portion of
the approximately 73-acre project site, including demolition of up to 12 of the exi sting ofce and laboratory buildings,
and construction of up to 17 new build ings. Buildout of the 2012 Master Plan would result in a total of up to 22 ofce and
laboratory buildings (comprising approximately 2,500,600 square feet of interior space) and 6,050 parking sta ils on the
project site. Development envisioned under the proposed 2012 Master Plan would require an amendmcnt to the Vi ntage
Park General Development Plan/Rezoning, an amended and restated Development Agreement, and various other City
entitlements, including demolition, construction, and building permits.
SIGNIFICANT ANTlCIPA TED ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS: The Subsequent EIR provides an evaluation
of the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project and recommends mitigation measures to reduce impacts to
a less-than-signicant level. With the implementation of the proposed mitigation measures, no signicant impacts would
resu!t with implementation of the proposed project, except for the following impacts:
The project would confict with General Plan noise policies
adopted to avoid or mitigate an environmental impact.
Project-related traffc would create a clearly noticeable
permanent change in the noise environment.
Operation of the project would result in a signifcant
project-level and cumulative net increase in criteria pollutant
emissions, resulting in a confict with the Bay Area Air
Quality Management District 2010 CleanAir Plan.
These impacts would remain signicant and unavoidable,
since the mitigation measures identied in the Subsequent
EIR would not reduce these impacts to a less-than-
signicant level. The project site is not listed on any of the
lists of hazardous materials sites enumerated under Section
65962.5 of the Government Code.
QUESTIONS: If you have any questions about this
project, please contact Kohar Kojayan, Senior Planner at

Do gays need a church
of their own anymore?
By Rachel Zoll
On that Sunday in 1968 when Troy Perry borrowed a minis-
ters robe and started a church for gays in his living room, the
world was a very different place.
Perrys Metropolitan Community Churches was then a lone
spiritual refuge for openly gay Christians, an idea so far from
the mainstream that the founders were often chased from
places where they tried to worship. Four decades later, some of
the most historically important American denominations,
which had routinely expelled gays and lesbians, are welcom-
ing them instead.
MCC now has a presence in dozens of U.S. states as well as
overseas, reporting a total membership of more than 240 con-
gregations and ministries. But as acceptance of same-sex rela-
tionships grows gay and lesbian clergy in many Protestant
traditions no longer have to hide their partners or lose their
careers, and Christians can often worship openly with their
same-gender spouses in the mainline Protestant churches
where they were raised the fellowship is at a crossroads.
Is a gay-centered Christian church needed anymore?
There are many more options than there used to be, said
the Rev. Nancy Wilson, moderator, or leader, of the
Metropolitan Community Churches. But there is not a mass
exodus.
The denomination has never been gays-only. But for a long
time, straight allies were scarce.
The founding congregation, MCC of Los Angeles, opened a
year before the Stonewall riots in New York. Few people had
ever heard the argument that the Bible sanctioned same-gender
relationships and no one of any inuence in the religious world
was saying it. MCC congregations became targets of arson,
violence, pickets and, in at least one case, a vice squad.
Al Smithson, a founder in 1969 of the fellowships San
Diego church, said his pastor would point to Orange Countys
famous Crystal Cathedral and joke that he was praying for a
bulletproof version.
The church today is a bit more diverse. MCC pastors say
they see a growing number of straight friends and relatives of
gays and lesbians among their new congregants, along with
heterosexual parents who want their children raised in a gay-
afrming environment.

This is your brain on sugar for real.
Scientists have used imaging tests to show for
the rst time that fructose, a sugar that saturates
the American diet, can trigger brain changes
that may lead to overeating.
After drinking a fructose beverage, the brain
doesnt register the feeling of being full as it
does when simple glucose is consumed,
researchers found.
Its a small study and does not prove that
fructose or its relative, high-fructose corn syrup,
can cause obesity, but experts say it adds evi-
dence they may play a role. These sugars often
are added to processed foods and beverages,
and consumption has risen dramatically since
the 1970s along with obesity. A third of U.S.
children and teens and more than two-thirds of
adults are obese or overweight.
All sugars are not equal even though they
contain the same amount of calories because
they are metabolized differently in the body.
Table sugar is sucrose, which is half fructose,
half glucose. High-fructose corn syrup is 55
percent fructose and 45 percent glucose. Some
nutrition experts say this sweetener may pose
special risks, but others and the industry reject
that claim. And doctors say we eat too much
sugar in all forms.
For the study, scientists used magnetic reso-
nance imaging, or MRI, scans to track blood
ow in the brain in 20 young, normal-weight
people before and after they had drinks contain-
ing glucose or fructose in two sessions several
weeks apart.
Scans showed that drinking glucose turns
off or suppresses the activity of areas of the
brain that are critical for reward and desire for
food, said one study leader, Yale University
endocrinologist Dr. Robert Sherwin. With fruc-
tose, we dont see those changes, he said. As
a result, the desire to eat continues it isnt
turned off.
Whats convincing, said Dr. Jonathan Purnell,
an endocrinologist at Oregon Health & Science
University, is that the imaging results mirrored
how hungry the people said they felt, as well as
what earlier studies found in animals.
It implies that fructose, at least with regards
to promoting food intake and weight gain, is a
bad actor compared to glucose, said Purnell.
He wrote a commentary that appears with the
federally funded study in Wednesdays Journal
of the American Medical Association.
Researchers now are testing obese people to
see if they react the same way to fructose and
glucose as the normal-weight people in this
study did.
What to do? Cook more at home and limit
processed foods containing fructose and high-
fructose corn syrup, Purnell suggested. Try to
avoid the sugar-sweetened beverages. It doesnt
mean you cant ever have them, but control
their size and how often they are consumed, he
said.
Brain image study: Fructose may spur overeating
It implies that fructose, at least with regards to promoting
food intake and weight gain, is a bad actor compared to glucose.

BEIRUT Clashes between govern-
ment troops and rebels on Tuesday
forced the international airport in
Aleppo to stop all ights in and out of
Syrias largest city, while erce battles
also raged in the suburbs of the capital
Damascus.
The rebels have been making inroad
in the civil war recently, capturing a
string of military bases and posing a
stiff challenge to the regime in Syrias
two major cities Damascus and
Aleppo.
The opposition trying to overthrow
authoritarian President Bashar Assad
has been ghting for control of Aleppo
since the summer, and they have cap-
tured large swathes of territory in
Aleppo province west and north of the
city up to the Turkish border.
In the past few weeks, the rebels have
stepped up their attacks on airports
around Aleppo province, trying to chip
away at the governments air power,
which poses the biggest obstacle to their
advances.
The air force has been bombing and
strang rebel positions and attacking
towns under opposition control for
months. But the rebels have no planes or
effective anti-aircraft weapons to count-
er the attacks.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory
for Human Rights, an anti-regime
activist group, said the ghting around
the base of Syrian army Brigade 80, part
of a force protecting Aleppo
International Airport, led to the closure
of the airport late Monday.
Heavy fighting is taking place
around Brigade 80, said Rami Abdul-
Rahman, who heads the Observatory.
The Observatory relies on a network of
activists around Syria.
The airport has been closed since
yesterday, he said.
The Syrian government had no com-
ment on the closing of the airport. On
Saturday, Syrias national airline can-
celed a ight to Aleppo because of ght-
ing nearby.
Rebels have warned that they would
target civilian as well as military planes
using the Aleppo airport, saying the
regime is using civilian planes to bring
in supplies and weapons.
The rebels have been attacking three
other airports in the Aleppo area,
including a military helicopter base near
the Turkish border. They have posted
dozens of videos online that appear to
show ghters shooting mortars, home-
made rockets and sniper ries at targets
inside the bases.
There was also heavy ghting in the
Damascus suburb of Daraya, southwest
of the capital. Daraya is one of the clos-
est suburbs to the capital and is on the
edge of two important neighborhoods
that are home to a strategic air base and
government headquarters.
The ghting in Daraya was so erce
that the explosions echoed in some parts
of the capital.
Although the regime still tightly con-
trols much of Damascus, its seat of
power, rebels have been posing a stiffer
challenge in the suburbs.

Gunmen kill seven teachers
and aid workers in Pakistan
By Rebecca Santana and Zarar Khan
ISLAMABAD Gunmen on motorcycles sprayed a van
carrying employees from a community center with bullets
Tuesday, killing ve female teachers and two aid workers, but
sparing a child they took out of the vehicle before opening re.
The director of the group that the seven worked for says he
suspects it may have been the latest in a series of attacks tar-
geting anti-polio efforts in Pakistan. Some militants oppose
the vaccination campaigns, accusing health workers of acting
as spies for the U.S. and alleging the vaccine is intended to
make Muslim children sterile.
Last month, nine people working on an anti-polio vaccina-
tion campaign were shot and killed. Four of those shootings
were in the northwest where Tuesdays attack took place.
The attack was another reminder of the risks to women edu-
cators and aid workers from Islamic militants who oppose
their work. It was in the same conservative province where
militants shot and seriously wounded 15-year-old Malala
Yousufzai, an outspoken young activist for girls education, in
October.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the lat-
est shootings.
The teachers and health workers one man and one
woman were killed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on
their way home from a community center in the town of Swabi
where they were employed at a medical clinic and primary
school. Their driver was also injured.
Many weddings in Maryland
as gay unions become legal
By Brian Witte
TILGHMAN ISLAND, Md. Same-sex couples in
Maryland were greeted with cheers and noisemakers held over
from New Years Eve parties, as gay marriage became legal in
the rst state south of the Mason-Dixon Line on New Years
Day.
James Scales, 68, was married to William Tasker, 60, on
Tuesday shortly after midnight by Baltimore Mayor Stephanie
Rawlings-Blake inside City Hall.
Its just so hard to believe its happening, Scales said
shortly before marrying his partner of 35 years.
Six other same-sex couples also were being married at City
Hall. Ceremonies were taking place in other parts of the state
as well.
The ceremonies follow a legislative ght that pitted Gov.
Martin OMalley against leaders of his Catholic faith. Voters
in the state, founded by Catholics in the 17th century, sealed
the change by approving a November ballot question.

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast A crowd stam-
peded after leaving a New Years reworks
show early Tuesday in Ivory Coasts commer-
cial center, killing 61 people many of them
youths and injuring more than 200, rescue
workers said.
The death toll was expected to rise, the of-
cials said.
Thousands had gathered at the Felix
Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjans
Plateau district to see the reworks. After the
show, the crowds poured onto the Boulevard
de la Republic by the Hotel Tiama at about 1
a.m., said Col. Issa Sako of the re depart-
ment rescue team.
The ood of people leaving the stadium
became a stampede which led to the deaths of
more than 60 and injured more than 200,
Sako told Ivory Coast state TV.
Most of those killed were between 8 and 15
years old, he said.
Desperate parents went to the city morgue,
the hospital and to the stadium to try to nd
children who are still missing.
Mamadou Sanogo was searching for his 9-
year-old son, Sayed.
I have just seen all the bodies, but I cannot
nd my son, said a tearful Sanogo. I dont
know what to do.
President Alassane Ouattara and his wife
visited some of those hospitalized and he
pledged that the government would pay for
their treatment, his ofce said.
The government organized the reworks to
celebrate Ivory Coasts peace, after several
months of political violence in early 2011 fol-
lowing disputed elections. It was the second
year that Abidjan had a New Years reworks
display.
Hours after the stampede, soldiers patrolled
the site, where victims clothes, shoes and
other debris littered the street.
State TV showed traumatic scenes: a
woman sobbed in the back of an ambulance;
another was bent over on the side of the street,
apparently in pain; and another, barely con-
scious and wearing only a bra on her upper
body, was hoisted up by rescuers.
There were also scenes of small children
being treated in a hospital; one boy grimaced
in pain and a girl with colored braids in her
hair lay under a blanket, with one hand band-
aged.
This is not Ivory Coasts first stadium
tragedy. In 2009, 22 people died and over 130
were injured in a stampede at a World Cup
qualifying match at the Houphouet Boigny
stadium, prompting FIFA, soccers global
governing body, to impose a ne of tens of
thousands of dollars on Ivory Coasts soccer
federation. The stadium, which officially
holds 35,000, was overcrowded at the time of
the disaster.
A year later, two people were killed and 30
wounded in a stampede at a municipal stadi-
um during a reggae concert in Bouake, the
countrys second-largest city. The concert was
organized in the city, held by rebels at the
time, to promote peace and reconciliation.
Ivory Coast is the worlds largest cocoa pro-
ducer, growing more than 37 percent of the
worlds annual crop of cocoa beans, which are
used to make chocolate.
Stampede after fireworks kills 61 in Ivory Coast

CARACAS, Venezuela Supporters and
opponents of President Hugo Chavez alike
nervously welcomed the new year Tuesday,
left on edge by shifting signals from the gov-
ernment about the Venezuelan leaders health
three weeks after cancer surgery in Cuba.
Chavez has not been seen or heard from
since the Dec. 11 operation, and ofcials have
reported a series of ups and downs in his
recovery the most recent, late Sunday,
announcing that a respiratory infection had
put the president in a delicate state.
Jorge Rodriguez, a Chavez ally and mayor
of a Caracas district, reiterated on Tuesday
that the president is going through a complex
post-operative process.
He told reporters that
Venezuelans have shown
an outpouring of compas-
sion and support for a
leader who has been
planted in the hearts of
millions. Rodriguez
urged Venezuelans to
keep Chavez in their
prayers and expressed
hope the president would
recover.
Chavezs son-in-law Jorge Arreaza, who is
the governments science minister and has
been with the president in Cuba, urged
Venezuelans in a Twitter message Monday
night not to believe bad-intentioned rumors
circulating online. President Chavez has
spent the day calm and stable, accompanied
by his children, Arreaza said in the message.
His tweet came a day after Vice President
Nicolas Maduros grim statement from
Havana that Chavez had suffered new compli-
cations due to a respiratory infection. Maduro
had said last week, before seeing Chavez, that
the president had been up and walking.
Political opponents of the socialist Chavez
have complained that the government hasnt
told the country enough about his health, and
even some of his supporters said Tuesday that
they wished they knew more.
Were distressed by El Comandantes
health, said Francisca Fuentes, who was
walking through a downtown square with her
grandchildren. I think they arent telling us
the whole truth. Its time for them to speak
clearly. Its like when you have a sick relative
and the doctor lies to you every once in a
while.
Chavez has been ghting an undisclosed
type of pelvic cancer since June 2011. He has
declined to reveal the precise location of the
tumors that have been surgically removed.
The president announced on Dec. 8 that his
cancer had come back despite previous sur-
geries, chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
The Venezuelan government has not given
details about Chavezs latest complications
beyond saying that they arose from the respi-
ratory infection.
Theres nothing we can do except wait for
the government to deign to say how he is real-
ly, said Daniel Jimenez, an opposition sup-
porter who was in a square in an afuent
Caracas neighborhood.
Jimenez and many other Venezuelans say it
seems increasingly unlikely that Chavez can
be sworn in as scheduled Jan. 10 for his new
term.
Venezuelans rang in 2013 as usual with re-
works raining down all over the capital of
Caracas. But some of Chavezs supporters had
long faces as they gathered in Bolivar Plaza
on Monday night holding pictures of the pres-
ident.

OPINION 9
What air quality?
Editor,
Particulate pollution from wood
smoke in Burlingame and San Mateo
was above acceptable levels on two
recent evenings. The air outside was
truly toxic.
According the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District, during the win-
ter months, residential wood smoke
from fireplaces and wood stoves is the
largest source of dangerous particulate
pollution in the Bay Area. This source
of pollution negatively affects the
largest number of residents in the nine
counties, especially in densely popu-
lated cities.
The BAAQMD acknowledges that
there is a significant increase in wood
burning during the holidays. Yet, in
2012, theyve not taken any meaning-
ful, proactive action to curtail wood
smoke pollution. Though it should be
expanded, the existing wood burning
code, if enforced, will improve urban
air quality.
So why isnt the BAAQMD doing
more enforcement? I suspect its
because they gain little political capi-
tal or positive media attention for
dealing with this large, but mundane,
problem. They also seem reluctant to
defend their actions to the wood burn-
ing industry, and the many people who
burn frequently.
Definitive action to curtail wood
burning in densely populated Bay
Area cities is decades overdue.
Nothing less than the health of your
family, children and neighbors is at
stake.

Appeal to Dwight Schwab
Editor,
I really enjoy reading the letters to
the editor as well as the editorials, but
I have to agree with the letter writers
in the Dec. 22 weekend edition of the
Daily Journal.
It is disappointing to read Mr.
Schwabs opinions, especially after
having lost Keith Krietmans wonder-
ful columns, mostly because Mr.
Schwab is so negative. If he offered
any discourse that would allow for a
good debate besides inciting others to
anger, he may prove he is a journalist.
He reminds me of the manned table in
Millbrae by the post office with the
life-size picture of President Obama
disfigured by a Hitler mustache.
It would be interesting to hear Mr.
Schwabs opinions on:
Tax cuts in effect for about 10
years that have not produced any jobs;
debt crisis was not discussed
when the Republicans were in charge;
vacations taken by President Bush
never mentioned; and
weapons of mass destruction and
causing the debt crisis due to the wars.
Please, Mr. Schwab, prove to the
readers of the Daily Journal that you
can offer unbiased journalism and
allow for views unfettered by your
seeming anger.
It will be interesting to see where he
goes with his views on gun control.

Letters to the editor
M
ost New Years resolutions
pertain to quick fixes like
getting in shape, losing
weight, being better with finances or
keeping in touch with loved ones. Its
easy to imagine that our political lead-
ers have similar resolutions, but we
suggest a few more that would help us
all throughout the year.
First, for our national politicians:
Enough with the crises. For the past
several years, we have been victim to
these ongoing crises of varying levels.
If it wasnt the debt ceiling debate that
torpedoed the stock market and low-
ered the nations credit rating in sum-
mer 2011, it was the 2010 Tax Relief
Act which simply kicked the nations
tax and spending debate down the road
another year to the Budget Control Act
of 2011, which simply kicked the
kicked the same debate down the road
to this years arduous and sickly fiscal
cliff debate. The whole idea was to
create a scenario so unpalatable that
both sides would have no choice but to
ease up on their ideologies and come
up with a deal. The Grand Bargain
of 2011 never was, and may have
never been meant to be, but it suppos-
edly set some common ground
between the president and House
Speaker John Boehner. Or it simply
proved that both did not have what it
took to corral support for such a com-
promise. Either way, it was down to
the wire with Monday nights dead-
line, and still, the deal that was struck
was a weak one to simply kick a por-
tion of the can down the road just a bit
further. So would it be unfair, or per-
haps even way too optimistic, to ask
that the people we elect to do such
work, to actually do it? How about a
simple resolution to be politicians and
work across the aisle for the greater
good, rather than sticking with a
trenched ideology (on both sides) that
whipsaws the nation every few
months? And a federal budget would
be nice too.
On the state side, we suggest
California legislators resolve to resist
the temptation to author every piece of
legislation that comes their way or is
conjured up in their mind. Last year,
Gov. Jerry Brown signed 876 bills and
vetoed 120 many in a flurry of
signings and vetoes just before the
Sept. 30 deadline. For someone who
once said not every human problem
deserves a law, thats a lot of new leg-
islation signed by the governor. With
120 members of the California
Legislature (80 in the Assembly and
40 in the Senate), thats approximately
eight bills per member that made it to
the governors desk. Add to that the
number of bills that didnt make it out
of committee or landed in the suspense
file, and thats a lot of legislation. How
about legislators resolve to pick a total
of 10 bills, good ones, and move for-
ward with those? That may get the
number down to five per member that
make it to the governors desk for a
total of 600. Its a start. Maybe the rest
of the time could be spent on matters
such as constituent assistance and
hmm, lets see, the budget?
At the local level, it would be nice if
our Board of Supervisors and members
of our city councils spent more time
on the budget and the ongoing finan-
cial obligations within. That includes
employee pay, jurisdictional consolida-
tion and pension obligations and poli-
cy. Its not as sexy as say, climate
change policy, but there is always
room at the inn for financial-minded
political leaders who ask questions and
require fiscal accountability of staff. In
San Francisco, outgoing supervisor
Sean Elsbernd has been lauded for his
eye on the bottom line and that will be
missed. San Mateo County is not with-
out financial-minded elected officials,
but might we suggest all our local
leaders resolve to have a similar mind-
set moving forward into 2013?
Suggested resolutions for our political leaders Our tears and our fears
D
o they become the lasting image on the
American psyche that makes the political
obstacles dividing us go away and shakes us
into meaningful action to prevent further mass shootings?
Or do these faces of unspeakable tragedy fade without real
change just as other faces ... have before them.

On Dec. 14, the horrible
tragedy in Newtown, Conn.
startled and shocked us
greatly when we turned on
the television or radio. Ive
been trying to write about
the tragedy in Connecticut,
but just thinking about it has
been traumatic. It really hit
home since we have two
granddaughters in first grade, and to think.
Those who have been able to conquer their tears long
enough to advocate the need for gun control, better mental
health services, etc. have offered a great memorial to those
who will no longer be with us because of a culture that
allowed a mentally ill 20-year-old to become a mass mur-
derer. All of those who have written about it or commented
in the newspaper, on radio or television (Bill Moyers was
especially touching), offer us much to think about.
Then, with pictures of all 20 of the deceased children on
the front page of the Mercury News, Mr. Emmons depicted
the insanity of it all (not just the killer, but of this culture).
It knocked us for a loop again, bringing tears, dismay,
anger, frustration and outright rage especially since we, by
then, had read and heard the responses of those who are
hell-bent on preserving their right to bear arms even
assault weapons and threatening our nation with anar-
chy. How about an armed guard at every school? It has
come to this!
Consider the many who ran out to purchase more guns
to add to the plethora already out there for fear that they
may be outlawed. Are they proud of themselves? Is this
what it means to be human distancing ourselves from
one another, arming ourselves to the teeth and suspecting
everyone we see as being out to do us in? Or is being
human reaching out to each other, helping out those less
fortunate, willing to give part of what we have to make life
easier and safer for others, contributing to programs that
help children grow into educated, healthy and empathetic
adults? Will this horror wake us up to the way we devalue
our children how our selfish concerns (personally and
nationally) have been depriving them of so much of what
they need to grow into healthy, productive and compas-
sionate adults?
If we truly valued our children, we would provide them
with what they need for good health and a happy and pro-
ductive future. First, we would strengthen gun laws (and
enforce them) so most firearms would be outlawed and
those who use them investigated thoroughly. Our schools,
preschools, after-school programs, child care, family serv-
ices, recreation services would be well funded.
Environmental chemicals that affect children (and adults)
in any negative way would be outlawed. Mental health
care would be taken seriously. Ultra-violent, crude, lascivi-
ous television, movies, video games, etc. wouldnt be pro-
duced. No child would go hungry and the food they eat
would be nutritious. Every child would not be expected to
qualify for college when many would be much better off
and happier learning a trade instead of dropping out and
inhabiting the streets. Instead of ADHD being overdiag-
nosed and overmedicated, active young boys would be
helped to direct their energy to productive purposes and
mentored by men who have their best interests at heart.
But, as Robert Reich wrote in his poignant column on
Dec. 23, Whether its fighting for reasonable gun regula-
tion, child health and safety overall, or good schools and
family services, we cant have a fair fight as long as spe-
cial interest money continues to poison our politics.
The attitude among many of those in Washington is
apparently, Ive got mine. Its up to you to get yours.
Damned if Ill part with any of it to make things better for
those slackers. And, by the way, Id better arm myself with
an automatic rifle so they dont try to take it away from
me. As the greedy, narcissistic, self-righteous gain more
power, maybe this is what occurs when a nation is on its
way to oblivion. Good people lose hope of being able to
change things. Our shocked nation still is grappling to
comprehend. And we are left to wonder if these victims of
horrifying violence will be the faces of change.

BUSINESS 10
By Paul Wiseman
and Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON Even if U.S.
lawmakers avoid the so-called scal
cliff, higher taxes and brinksman-
ship in Washington are likely to
continue damaging the fragile econ-
omy well into 2013.
In the early hours of the new year,
the Senate passed emergency legis-
lation to prevent deep spending cuts
and even bigger tax hikes from tak-
ing effect. But the measure ran into
fierce opposition Tuesday from
House Republicans, leaving unclear
whether a nal agreement could be
reached before the current Congress
ends Thursday.
The Senate version would raise
taxes on individual incomes over
$400,000 and household incomes
over $450,000 and on the portion of
estates that exceeds $5 million.
House Republicans are reluctant to
sign on to those tax hikes which
would deliver some $600 billion in
revenue over 10 years at least
without more cuts in government
spending.
The higher taxes on the wealthy
would likely slow the economy a lit-
tle bit. But a bigger drag would
come from a tax hike Democrats
and Republicans arent even bother-
ing to ght over: the end of a two-
year Social Security tax cut. The so-
called payroll tax is scheduled to
bounce back up to 6.2 percent this
year from 4.2 percent in 2011 and
2012, amounting to a $1,000 tax
increase for someone earning
$50,000 a year.
Its a huge hit, says Joel Naroff,
president of Naroff Economic
Advisors. It hits people whether
theyre making $10,000 or theyre
making $2 million. It doesnt matter
who you are ... The lower your
income, the more of your income
youre (spending). So if youre
taxes go up, its going to come out
of your spending. And that is bad
news for an economy that is 70 per-
cent consumer spending.
Mark Zandi, chief economist at
Moodys Analytics, calculates that
the higher payroll tax will reduce
economic growth by 0.6 percentage
points in 2013. The other possible
tax increases including higher
taxes on household incomes above
$450,000 a year will slice just
0.15 percentage points off annual
growth, Zandi said.
The economy doesnt have much
growth to give. Mark Vitner, senior
economist at Wells Fargo, predicts it
will expand just 1.5 percent in 2013,
down from a lackluster 2.2 percent
in 2012. Unemployment stands at
7.7 percent.
A months-long political standoff
over scal policy has already taken
its toll, adding uncertainty that has
discouraged consumers from spend-
ing and businesses from hiring and
investing.
The squabbling seems sure to per-
sist even if the House goes along
with the Senates partial x.
Senators postponed tough deci-
sions on government spending, giv-
ing themselves a reprieve from cuts
that were scheduled to begin taking
effect automatically Jan. 1. That just
sets the stage for more hard-bar-
gaining later, even if the House
approves the Senates version.
And another standoff is likely to
arrive as early as February when
Congress will need to raise the
$16.4 trillion federal borrowing
limit so the government can keep
paying its bills. House Republicans
probably wont agree to raise the
debt limit without offsetting spend-
ing cuts that Democrats are sure to
resist.
Even if they cut some small deal,
the process and what is left undone
still means theres a lot of uncer-
tainty, says Stuart Hoffman, chief
economist at PNC Financial
Services Group.
After Jan. 1, asks Ethan Harris,
co-head of global economics at
Bank of America Merrill Lynch,
what induces the two sides to stop
ghting and start compromising?
The scal cliff itself was created
to force Democrats and Republicans
to compromise.
To end a 2011 standoff over rais-
ing the federal debt limit, they
agreed to a Jan. 1, 2013 deadline to
reach a deal over taxes and spend-
ing. If they didnt, more than $500
billion in tax increases would hit the
economy in 2013 alone, along with
$109 billion in cuts from the mili-
tary and domestic spending pro-
grams. The sharp tax hikes and
spending cut would threaten to send
the economy over the cliff and back
into recession.
But negotiations to avert catastro-
phe have highlighted once again
how far apart the two parties are on
taxes (Republicans dont want to
raise them) and spending
(Democrats are reluctant to cut gov-
ernment programs).
Were learning about how deep
the impasse is, Harris says. Both
sides have decided that they were
willing to go to the last minute.
Political gridlock has been rat-
tling nancial markets and shaking
consumer and business condence
the past two years.
After a ght over raising the debt
limit last year, the credit rating
agency Standard & Poors yanked
the U.S. governments blue-chip
AAA bond rating because it feared
that Americas dysfunctional politi-
cal system couldnt deliver a credi-
ble plan to reduce the federal gov-
ernments debt. S&P cited an over-
abundance of political brinksman-
ship and warned that the differ-
ences between political parties have
proven to be extraordinarily difcult
to bridge.
The Dow Jones industrials
dropped 635 points in panicked sell-
ing the rst day of trading after the
S&P announcement.
Outside Washington the economy
has been getting some good news.
Europes nancial crisis appears to
have eased, reducing the threat of a
renewed nancial crisis.

California newspaper
defies trend to shrink
By Elliot Spagat
SANTA ANA New and expanded sections to cover busi-
ness, automobiles and food. A nearly ve-fold increase in
community news pages and more investigative reporting. Even
daily color comics.
It feels like a throwback to an earlier era at the Orange
County Register, where a rst-time newspaper owner is defy-
ing conventional wisdom by spending heavily to expand the
printed edition and playing down digital formats.
Aaron Kushner added about 75 journalists and, with 25
more coming, will have expanded the newsroom by half since
his investment group bought the nations 20th-largest newspa-
per by circulation in July.
Changes also include thicker pages with triple the number of
colors to produce razor-sharp photos and graphics. By the end
of March, the newspaper will have 40 percent more space than
under previous owners, Freedom Communications Inc.
Kushner, 39, believes people will pay for high-quality news.
His bet is remarkable in an industry where newspapers have
shrunk their way to prots for years, slashing costs while seek-
ing clicks on often-free websites to attract online advertising.
As more newspapers begin charging for online access,
Kushners spending spree is drawing close attention.
If hes successful, its going to show the way for other
papers to follow, said Walter E. Hussman Jr., publisher of the
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and an early advocate of charging
readers for online access.
Seated behind his large, clutter-free desk near shelves
stacked with newspapers, the former Stanford University gym-
nast said his lack of industry experience may be a plus because
he hasnt been through the tough times in newspapering.
So when we sit down and look at whats possible, our view
of the world is different, Kushner said. Were a little crazy in
that we really do believe that we can grow this particular news-
paper.

GONE BOWLING: A FULL SLATE OF NCAA BOWL GAMES PLAYED ON NEW YEARS DAY >>> PAGE 15
Scots accomplish goals at Surf and Slam
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Before heading to Southern
California and the Surf and Slam
tournament, Carlmont High School
basketball head coach Dave Low
said he was looking for a couple of
things from his team.
One, he wanted to track down a
third, consistent scorer to compli-
ment Yash Malik and Michael
Costello.
And two, he wanted to see his
teams defense continue to improve.
So in three games at the Surf and
Slam, the Scots accomplished the
latter of Lows goals and Mduduzi
Hlatshwayo might be the answer to
the coachs second wish.
Carlmont won the Surf and Slam
in San Diego, taking down
Piedmont High School 60-48 in the
nal. Malik led the Scots in scoring
with 19 and Costello added 14.
But it was Hlatshwayo who
scored 10 in the nal that opened
a lot of eyes. The point guard in
known for his defense. But in the
win, Hlatshwayo proved he could
put the ball in the basket.
Still, the star of the Carlmonts
10-1 preseason has been its defense.
At the Surf and Slam Tournament,
the Scots held Sentinal High School
to 37 points. No Scot was in double-
gure scoring but that didnt
matter in a the win. They followed
that defensive clinic by limiting
Scripps Ranch to 31 points in a 15-
point win. Malik scored 11 points in
that win and Costello led the scoring
charge with 18 points.
Elsewhere around the county,
Sacred Heart Preps 11-point win
over Mountain View was highlight-
ed by Matt Galliani, who scored 20
points, hitting a pair of 3-pointers in
the process. He followed that with a
14-point day againt St. Stephens of
Texas. Corbin Koch added 10 points
in that 55-45 win for the Gators.
At the Sobrato Bulldog Chase
Holiday Tournament, Hillsdale beat
Burton of San Francisco 60-42.
Angelo Bautista led the way for the
Knights with 11 points and Dante
Fonetnot added 10. But Hillsdale

PASADENA Although Stanford didnt
score many style points in the 99th Rose
Bowl, the Cardinal could celebrate because
they didnt let Wisconsin score any points at
all after halftime.
Stepfan Taylor rushed for 89 yards and an
early touchdown, Kevin Hogan passed for
123 yards, and No. 8 Stanford won its rst
Rose Bowl since 1972, beating the Badgers

ception near mideld with 2:30 to play as

SAN FRANCISCO The San Francisco
49ers signed kicker Billy Cundiff on Tuesday
to compete with struggling veteran David
Akers.
Hes thrilled with the opportunity to be in
a position to help the team in any way he can
this postseason, said Cundiffs agent, Paul
Sheehy. Its a great opportunity, with a great
organization.
The team announced the move a day after
coach Jim Harbaugh said that the NFC West
champion Niners (11-4-1) off this week as
the NFCs No. 2 seed planned to try out
kickers because of Akers prolonged funk.
Cundiff was released by the Washington
Redskins on Oct. 9 after missing 5 of his 12
eld goal attempts. He had already worked
out once for the Niners on Nov. 27 before they
invited him back this time, as Harbaugh ini-
tially chose to stick with Akers.
Now, Akers and Cundiff will compete to see
who kicks in the teams NFC divisional play-
off game in prime time Jan. 12 at Candlestick
Park. San Francisco will play Green Bay,
Seattle or Washington.
The 49ers cleared a spot on the 53-man ros-
ter for Cundiff by waiving linebacker Eric
Bakhtiari. Players had Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday off before returning to practice
Thursday so that will be the rst look at
both kickers together.
Cundiff spent the 2009-11 seasons with the
Baltimore Ravens, who are coached by
Harbaughs big brother, John. But Cundiff
was cut after last season, when he missed a
potential tying 32-yard eld goal in the clos-
ing seconds of the AFC championship game
that sent New England to the Super Bowl.
Jim Harbaugh said Monday he might keep
two kickers on the roster and open up a com-
petition.
If we had two on the roster at the same
time, then they can kick in practice,
Harbaugh said. And thats an option. Thats a
possibility. I think there are three options. We
go forward with David. We bring in a new
kicker. Or, we have two and let them compete
for the job. Well make that decision as we
go.
Akers, who made 44 of 52 attempts in his
sensational 2011 season and rst year with
San Francisco, is just 29 for 42 this year. He is
only 7 for 13 from 40-49 yards and missed
wide left twice from that range in Sundays
27-13 victory against Arizona in the regular-
season nale.
The 38-year-old Akers signed a three-year
contract as arguably the 49ers biggest offsea-
son acquisition ahead of the 2011 season,
aside from the hiring of Harbaugh. And he
delivered at nearly every opportunity until
recently.
He had a 21-yard attempt blocked by Red
Bryant in a 42-13 loss at Seattle on Dec. 23,
and Richard Sherman returned it 90 yards for
a touchdown.
The 32-year-old Cundiff joins his sixth
team in 10 NFL seasons. He has also played
for Dallas, New Orleans and Cleveland.
Cardinals interview
Horton, could meet with Reid
PHOENIX The Arizona Cardinals have
interviewed their defensive coordinator Ray
Horton for the head coaching job.
The interview, conducted on Tuesday by
team president Michael Bidwill, was the rst
in the teams search for a replacement for Ken
Whisenhunt, who was red on Monday after
six seasons on the job.
The team has reached out to Andy Reid but
had not scheduled an interview. Reid was red
on Monday after 14 seasons as head coach in
Philadelphia.
Bidwill plans to y to Denver over the
weekend to interview Denver Broncos offen-
sive coordinator Mike McCoy.
Horton, Reid and McCoy are the only can-
didates thus far identied by the Cardinals.

OAKLAND Since Tim Hardaway, Mitch
Richmond and Chris Mullin captivated the
Bay Area in the Run TMC days of the early
1990s, the Golden State Warriors have been
known for scoring a lot of points and giving
up even more.
Not anymore.
In Mark Jacksons second season as coach,
the Warriors nally have started to change
their focus. Golden State (21-10) is off to its
best start in more than 20 years entering
Wednesday nights home game against the
NBA-best Los Angeles Clippers (25-6), a sur-
prising turnaround that has been propelled
largely by defense.
So much so that the Warriors-Clippers
matchup both long-time losers in the
Pacic Division suddenly pits two of the
best teams in the Western Conference. The
Clippers, who lost 114-110 to Golden State in
Los Angeles on Nov. 3, have won 17 straight
heading into their game Tuesday night at
Denver.
Its 2013, forward Carl Landry said with a
smile after Tuesdays practice on New Years
Day. Its a different time.
In the bold and boisterous tone of a former
broadcaster and Brooklyn native, Jackson
declared in downtown San Francisco on the
day the Warriors hired him that defensive de-
ciency would no longer be tolerated. He said
he was well aware of the fan fascination with
the run-and-fun teams of Don Nelson and
Keith Smart, though he promised his style
would be different.
Things gone be a changing, Jackson said
on June 10, 2011.
The former New York Knicks and Indiana
Pacers point guard never really had a chance
to implement his system in his rookie year on
the sidelines, not with a roster ravaged by
injuries and the season shortened to 66 games
because of the labor lockout. Over the sum-
mer, new Warriors general manager Bob
Myers acquired veterans such as Carl Landry
and Jarrett Jack along with a trio of rookies
Harrison Barnes, Festus Ezeli and Draymond
Green who have highlighted the kind of
heart and hustle Jackson has long preached.
More than a third of the way through the
season, the results are starting to show.
The Warriors rank third in the league in
rebounding differential (plus-4.19) and fourth
in average opponents eld-goal percentage
(42.9 percent) per game. They were 28th and
20th, respectively, in those categories while
nishing 23-43 last season.
You cant just wake up and be an elite
defensive team. But the more you preach it,
the more you hear that message, it shows in
how we practice in training camp, how we
watch lm and study the game, said point
guard Stephen Curry, who has become a sur-
prising pest on defense. All that comes into
the process of becoming a better team. We
still have more ways we can improve. But we
are a hundred times better defensively than we
were last year, and thats why our record
reects that. We just have to stick to it.
Jackson believes players started to embrace
his approach once they realized the previous
ways didnt translate into wins.
Golden State is 19-2 when outrebounding
an opponent, and 6-1 when holding teams
below 40 percent shooting this season. Only
two teams Oklahoma City and Sacramento
have shot more than 50 percent against the
Warriors, who lost both of those games.
Golden State nished December with a 12-
4 record, including a 6-1 road trip highlighted
by a win at the defending champion Miami
Heat, and won at least 20 games before New
Years Day for the rst time since 1980. The
Warriors also tied the 1961-62 team when
the franchise was still in Philadelphia with
12 wins in December.
They are 11-6 on the road, already equaling
the amount of wins away from home during
last seasons shortened schedule. Only San
Antonio, with 12 roads wins, has more this
season.
Not bad for a franchise that has made the
playoffs just once since 1994.
They witnessed where relying on the
offensive end got them, Jackson said. Thats
with all due respect. There was some success,
but it wasnt success that was able to be sus-
tained. Preaching to them, defensively, if you
get it done, people are going to have to deal
with you. And not just this year, but for a long
time to come.
Perhaps the most surprising part of the new
Warriors way is that theyre doing it with two
of the teams best defensive players out with
injuries.
Andrew Bogut, expected to be the new fran-
chise center, has played in only four games
and is out indenitely while he recovers from
the lingering effects of surgery on his left
ankle. Small forward Brandon Rush, who
Jackson had called his best perimeter defend-
er, was lost for the season after tearing two
ligaments in his left knee the second game of
the year.

could not overcome a ve-point rst
quarter against Santa Teresa and,
despite 14 from Bautista and 11 by
Fonetnot, the Knights lost.
Something about that loss must
have angered Bautista though.
In the third place game against
Christopher High School, Bautista
hadr 41 points, hitting six from the
Land of Three in a 67-36 win.
For Serra, the two-headed scoring
machine that is Jacqui Biggins and
Henry Caruso continues to lead the
Padres as they get closer to the
WCAL part of the schedule.
Against, Dougherty Valley at the
American Tournament, Caruso
scored 23 and Biggins added 16.
Then against Pittsburgh High
School, Biggins was held in check,
but not Caruso, who led the Padres
with 15 points. Eddie Stansberry
picked up the slack with 14 points.
The Menlo boys basketball team
took a 56-50 victory over Diamond
Ranch of Pomona on the third day
of Desert Holiday Classic on Friday
night in Palm Springs.
Ryan Young again had a big per-
formance for the Knights with 17
points.
Mikey Diekroeger provided a
boost off the bench, nishing with
12 points and six big-time
rebounds in trafc.
The Knights put together their
best half of basketball early.
Diamond Ranch started with a 5-0
run before Menlo recovered and
took a 32-19 halftime lead. In the
third quarter the pace picked up as
both teams found offensive rhythm,
and Menlo held 46-35 to start the
fourth quarter.

sively against Westmont High

Sports brief
NHL, union dig in
for a long day of talks
NEW YORK The NHL and the
union are back at the bargaining
table and seem determined to work
toward a deal to save the hockey
season
A full day of talks was planned for
Tuesday, one day after negotiations
resumed following nearly three
weeks apart. On Monday, the play-
ers association presented a counter-
proposal to an offer made by the
league late last week.
The NHL spent Monday night
reviewing the document, then got
together again with the union
Tuesday.
Small groups from each side met
and conferred by conference calls
all afternoon about provisions of a
potential collective bargaining
agreement.
A full meeting of the negotiating
teams wasnt expected at the league
ofce before 6:30 or 7 p.m. EST, a
union spokesman said. The NHL
then requested that the meeting be
pushed back to 9 p.m.
What is clear is that time has
become a real factor.
Weve said we need to drop the
puck by Jan. 19 if were going to
play a 48-game season,
Commissioner Gary Bettman said.
We dont think it makes sense to
play a season any shorter than that.
That leaves a little less than two
weeks to reach an agreement and
hold one week of training camp
before starting the season.
All games through Jan. 14 have
been canceled, claiming more than
50 percent of the original schedule.

Capital One Bowl.
Murray shook off a pair of rst-
half interceptions, including one
returned for a touchdown, and
passed for 427 yards also a
Bulldogs bowl record against the
nations top-ranked passing defense.
He was named the games most
valuable player.
Georgia (12-2) reached 12 wins
for the third time in school history.
Nebraska (10-4) lost its third con-
secutive bowl game, and nished
the season with two straight woeful
defensive performances. The
Cornhuskers lost the Big Ten cham-
pionship game 70-31.
The Cornhuskers led 24-23 at the
half, but committed two of their
three turnovers in the nal 30 min-
utes. Taylor Martinez had two inter-
ceptions and two touchdown passes
for Nebraska and Rex Burkhead
rushed for 140 yards in his nal col-
lege game.
Nebraskas offense nished with
443 total yards, but the Bulldogs
defense was stingy when it needed
to be. They sacked Martinez ve
times, with All-American linebacker
Jarvis Jones notching two. Damian
Swann had both Georgia intercep-

Thompson came off the bench to
throw a 32-yard touchdown pass
with 11 seconds left Tuesday,
enabling South Carolina to tie a
school record for victories with a
33-28 win over No. 19 Michigan.
Thompson replaced Shaw during
the winning drive, covering the nal
43 yards after Shaw began the
march from his own 30. Devin
Gardners third TD pass of the game
had given Michigan a 28-27 lead.
Shaw threw for 227 yards and two
touchdowns after missing South
Carolinas regular season nale with
a left foot sprain. Thompson led the
Gamecocks (11-2) to a victory over
their archrival, and threw for 117
yards and two TDs.
Gardner threw for 214 yards in his
fth start for Michigan (8-5) since
Denard Robinson injured his right
elbow late in the season. Robinson
took some snaps at quarterback and
attempted his rst passes since Oct.
27, but lined up mostly at running
back and rushed for 100 yards on 23
carries.
Ace Sanders caught TD passes of
4 yards from Thompson and 31
yards from Shaw, who completed 18
of 26 passes before limping off on
the nal drive.

The Wildcats (10-3) earned their

They also celebrated double-digit
victories for the rst time since the
1995 Rose Bowl season.

down on the third play of the game
and Nick Vanhoose set up a late

its going to be tight, its going to be
close, and were going to nd a way
to win. Thats the way its been all
year.
Stanford clamped down on the
Big Ten champion Badgers (8-6),
who lost the Rose Bowl in heart-
breaking fashion for the third con-
secutive season. Montee Ball rushed
for 100 yards and his FBS-record
83rd touchdown, but Wisconsin
managed only 82 yards in that
scoreless second half.
With impressive defense of its
own, Wisconsin still stayed in posi-
tion for an upset in the one-game
return of Hall of Fame coach Barry
Alvarez, who was back on the
Badgers sideline in his red sweater-
vest seven years after hanging up his
whistle.
This group of kids has been
through a lot, and they competed
extremely hard against a very high-
quality team, Alvarez said. Weve
played three very good football
games (at the Rose Bowl). These
guys played hard. In fact, most peo-
ple would like to get here once. But
we just didnt get it done.
Kelsey Young rushed for a score
on Stanfords opening possession,
and Taylor scored on the second.
Wisconsin kept the Cardinal out of
the end zone for the nal 51 min-
utes, holding them to three points in
the second half, but Stanfords
defense didnt need any more help
in the Cardinals eighth straight vic-
tory.
We knew coming in, it was going
to be a physical game, Taylor said.
We knew they know how to play
against power as well as us. They
did a great job. It was our defense
keeping us in the game that enabled
us to get this win.
After winning the Orange Bowl
two years ago and losing the Fiesta
Bowl last season, Stanford earned
its rst conference title and its rst
Rose Bowl berth in 13 years. The
Cardinal nished with 12 victories
for just the second time in school
history and the second time in
the last three years.
The Cardinal ousted top-ranked
Oregon on the way to the biggest
season yet in the improbable surge
of success started by Jim Harbaugh
and Andrew Luck. Many Pac-12
observers expected a sharp decline
at Stanford this season but Shaw
and Hogan, who took over as the
starting quarterback in November,
have accomplished something even
Harbaugh and Luck couldnt man-
age.
I think it served as some motiva-
tion for us throughout the year,
Amanam said. I think its just a tes-
tament to our program and how we
train and prepare every season.
When Bret Bielema abruptly left
Wisconsin for Arkansas after win-
ning the Big Ten title game, Alvarez
agreed to coach his fourth Rose
Bowl before handing off his pro-
gram to new coach Gary Andersen,
who met with Alvarez on the eld
before the game.
But the Badgers third straight
Rose Bowl appearance ended in
much the same way as the last two:
With the offense failing to get the
late score the Badgers desperately
needed.
This stings just as much, because
we fell extremely short when we
had the opportunity to win, Ball
said. We had numerous opportuni-
ties to capitalize on big plays, and
we fell short. ... This is not the way
we want to be remembered.
Speaking for the entire senior
group, this is not the way we want-
ed to go out.
Curt Phillips went 10 for 16 for
83 yards passing and that crucial
interception for Wisconsin, doing
more with 64 yards on the ground.
Jordan Fredrick caught a short TD
pass right before halftime, but no
Badgers receiver had more than
Jared Abbrederis three catches.
And though Ball became the rst
player to score touchdowns in three
Rose Bowls, the powerful back fell
short of Ron Daynes career Rose
Bowl rushing record, swarmed
under by waves of tacklers from one
of the toughest defenses in the
nation a defense that shut down
the top-ranked Ducks in mid-
November to pave Stanfords path
to Pasadena.
Wisconsin returned to Pasadena
in a much more roundabout way as
the rst ve-loss team to make it,
losing three overtime games and
making the Big Ten title game only
because Ohio State and Penn State
were ineligible. The Badgers then
steamrolled Nebraska to become the
rst Big Ten team in three straight
Rose Bowls since Michigan in the
late 1970s.
With the Rose Bowl lled with
fans wearing the schools near-iden-
tical cardinal-and-white gear,
Stanford went up 14-0 on Taylors
3-yard TD run just 8 1/2 minutes in.
Wisconsin briey got rolling behind
Ball, who rushed for 296 yards in
his rst two Rose Bowls.
Stanford stopped James White
inside the 1 on fourth down early in
the second quarter after a touch-
down run by Ball was wiped out by
a holding penalty, but Ball scored on
the next drive. The Badgers then
mounted an 85-yard drive in the
waning 2 1/2 minutes of the rst
half, with Phillips 38-yard run set-
ting up Fredricks short TD catch to
trim Stanfords halftime lead to 17-
14.
After halftime adjustments, both
defenses dominated the scoreless
third quarter, allowing just three
combined rst downs.
Wisconsins personal foul on a
fair-catch punt return finally
sparked Stanford early in the fourth
quarter.

You can get a jump on this recipe by poaching the eggs ahead of time. Just cool them off after youre done by transferring
them with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice water.Then store them in the refrigerator on a plate covered with plastic wrap until
youre ready to reheat them.
Poached eggs good
choice for any meal
T
he beauty of poached eggs is their versatility.
Depending on what you pair them with, they can be
breakfast, lunch or even dinner.
So for this quick and easy weekday
meal, I serve them with a bed of arugula,
a scoop of ricotta cheese one of the
most overlooked cheeses in the dairy
case (its good for more than just lasagna
and stuffed shells!) and a bit of but-
tered multigrain toast. Its simple. Its
lling. And it could be breakfast, lunch
or dinner.
Want it to be a bit more robust? Just
about any cooked and cooled vegetables
could be added to the arugula. Leftover
roasted winter vegetables, such as butter-
nut squash or carrots, would be great.

Everybody loves French onion soup,
and with good reason. Caramelized
onions swimming in a rich beef broth a-
vored with a splash of red wine or brandy
and topped with broiled Gruyere cheese?
Every warm, gooey mouthful lights up
your taste buds like a pinball machine.
Its exactly what you want on a cold win-
ters night.
But it is not light. In my quest to slim
down this French classic I turned to Italy.
I caramelized the onions in olive oil,
rather than butter, swapped out the
Gruyere in favor of Parmigiano-
Reggiano (less fat and bigger avor, so
you can use less of it), and moved the
croutons and cheese off the top to make
room for a poached egg. Finally, I added
some pancetta for avor, because we
have to have at least a little fun.
I took much of my inspiration for this
recipe from Cesare Casella, a brilliant
Tuscan chef who used to hold court at
Beppe, a wonderful restaurant within
walking distance of my home in New
York years ago, now long gone. I thought
Casellas soup really improved the
French original. I especially like the
addition of the egg. The yolk makes up
for at least some of the richness lost
when the Gruyere goes bye-bye.
ITALIAN-STYLE ONION SOUP
TOPPED WITH A POACHED EGG
Start to nish: 1 1/2 hours (20 minutes
active)
Servings: 4
2 ounces chopped pancetta
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 pounds yellow onions, thinly-sliced
1 cup red wine
5 cups low-sodium beef or chicken
broth
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar
4 large eggs
1 1/2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano
cheese, nely grated (about 1/2 cup)
Ground black pepper
Eight 1/2-inch-thick baguette slices,
toasted
In a large saucepan over medium heat,
cook the pancetta until it is golden.
Transfer it to a plate using a slotted
spoon.
Return the saucepan to medium heat.
Add the olive oil and onions, then cook,
covered but stirring occasionally, until
very soft, about 20 minutes. Remove the
cover and cook, stirring frequently, for
another 35 to 45 minutes, or until the
onions are golden brown and
caramelized. Add the wine and boil until
it is reduced by half. Add the broth and
simmer for another 20 minutes.
Bring a large saucepan of salted water
to a low simmer. Add the vinegar.
Crack each egg into a small glass. One
at a time, gently and slowly pour each egg
into the simmering water, bringing the lip
of the glass right down to the water so
that the egg slides in. Depending on the
size of your pan, you may need to cook
them in 2 batches. Cook for 4 minutes,
then use a slotted spoon to lift each egg
out (letting excess water drip away).
To serve, ladle the soup into 4 bowls.
Top each with a poached egg, sprinkle
with some of the cheese, some of the
pancetta and pepper to taste. Serve each
portion with 2 toasts on the side.

spending cuts.
But even after the House voted 257 to 167
last night on the current scal cliff deal, there
are still three so-called scal cliffs looming,
U.S. Rep Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, told the
Daily Journal yesterday.
We cant keep lurching from one crisis to
another and its being set up that way, Speier
said.
The problem, she said, is that Congress is
deeply divided.
Weve got to nd a way to work together,
she said about Republicans and Democrats.
Set up as a crisis of incredible magnitude
that could negatively impact Wall Street and
world markets while increasing taxes on near-
ly all Americans, the Senate deal reached on
New Years Eve pushed back across-the-board
spending cuts by two months which will lead
to another round of negotiations with the
White House and Republicans on government
benet programs such as Medicare.
While Speier and U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-
Palo Alto, were both ready to vote in favor of
the deal in the House early in the morning,
they both had to wait for hours and hours and
hours yesterday as Republicans decried the
lack of spending cuts in the Senate deal
reached by Vice President Joe Biden and
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-
Ky., late Monday night.
Both Speier and Eshoo said the deal was not
perfect for all, however, but they did say the
Senate-brokered deal will be good for their
respective districts as unemployment benets
will be extended for another year and tax cred-
its will be extended for child care, tuition and
companies that do research and development.
Income taxes will rise for individuals who
make $400,000 a year and couples who make
$450,000 a year, the rst time in 20 years the
tax will rise. President Barack Obama was
seeking a $250,000 threshold for the tax hike.
The deal guarantees, however, that 98 per-
cent of Americans will not see their taxes
increase permanently, Eshoo wrote in a state-
ment yesterday as she urged a quick vote on
the deal.
While the legislation is not a grand bar-
gain and leaves critical issues to be dealt with
in the near future, I will vote for it precisely
because it is a bipartisan compromise. I urge
the speaker to bring the Senate-passed bill to
the oor of the House immediately for an up-
down vote, Eshoo wrote in the statement.
The American people have been dragged
through enough and our fragile economy can-
not sustain congressional failure to act. A
great country does not jump off a scal cliff.

VINA Monks in a small Northern
California town are rebuilding a cen-
turies-old Spanish monastery with help
from what may seem an unlikely source:
beer.
The first phase of the buildings
decades-long restoration project in the
Sacramento Valley town of Vina has
been completed, with the Chapter House
of Ovila now standing.
In the 1930s, newspaper magnate
William Randolph Hearst bought the
former Trappist monastery the Santa
Maria de Ovila and imported it from
Spain for an estate that was never real-
ized. He had planned to use parts of the
church for an indoor swimming pool
changing room.
Once that project was scrapped,
Hearst donated the monasterys pieces to
the city of San Francisco, but the dis-
mantled building sat forgotten in Golden
Gate Park for more than 60 years.
The Vina monks credit the founder of
their abbey, Father Thomas X. Davis,
with the idea of restoring the remains to
the Trappist community. Davis saw the
stones at Golden Gate Park when he
arrived in San Francisco in 1955 and
began a campaign to bring them to Vina.
The city eventually agreed to turn over
the stones to the abbey. The Chapter
House was rebuilt with the help of mil-
lions of dollars raised by the Sierra
Nevada Brewing Co. in nearby Chico.
The brewers created a series of Ovila
Abbey ales inspired by Belgian Trappist
monks, an order that to this day makes
some of the nest beers in the world.
Monasteries in Europe still use brew-
ing as a way to keep them nancially
self-sufcient, so Sierra Nevadas part-
nership with the Vina monastery is keep-
ing with a tradition that began in the
Middle Ages.
Sierra Nevada Brewing and the monks
have raised $7 million over the past 12
years to help with the historic and
painstaking reconstruction.
The gothic, limestone building that
housed Cistercian monks for hundreds
of years is nally erect again.
Still, Father Paul Mark Schwan said
another $2 million is needed to nish the
project: the building is still without the
proper window glass, oors and electric-
ity needed to nish it.
Will it take another 12 years?
Schwan told the paper. I prefer it not.

New dilemma
in Russia: Can
you buy beer?
By Jim Heintz
MOSCOW A big question in Russia in 2013 may be
How do I get a beer around here?
Under a law that took effect on New Years Day, selling
beer at the ubiquitous kiosks that mushroomed along
Russian sidewalks and roadsides after the collapse of the
Soviet Union has been banned. Though the tiny makeshift
shops lost their importance as conventional stores got more
of a foothold, new laws could deal a finishing blow to a
symbol of the countrys lively and disorderly post-commu-
nist free market.
In a measure meant to address Russias high rate of prob-
lem drinking, beer now can be purchased only at restau-
rants, cafes and stores of at least 50 square meters (about
500 square feet). The law also changes beers classification
from a food to an alcoholic beverage, meaning it cant be
sold in any store from 11 p.m. to 8 a.m. It also cracks down
on casual consumption of alcohol, forbidding it in public
spaces.
With the growing presence of supermarkets and sizable
neighborhood food stores, the ban on beer sales at kiosks
may mean no more than a couple blocks extra walking for
someone seized by a sudden thirst. But it may harshly dry
up income for kiosk operators.
Experts estimate that beer accounted for about 40 percent
of the revenue of kiosks that sold it, according to the
Interfax news agency.
It appears that all this volume will be nicely absorbed by
stores. I think that more than a third of the small retail
establishments in Russia unequivocally will close, Vadim
Drobiz, director of the Research Center for Federal
and?Regional Alcohol Markets, was quoted as saying by
the news.mail.ru news website.
More trouble for kiosk operators appears to be on the
way. The lower house of parliament has given preliminary
approval to a bill that would ban the sale of cigarettes at
kiosks and small stands.
If the cigarette sales ban comes into effect on top of the
beer sales prohibition, about 175,000 kiosks across the
country could be forced to close, at the cost of some
500,000 jobs, the Ministry for Economic Development esti-
mates, according to Interfax.
Heavy drinking and smoking are cited as two of the main
factors in Russias high mortality rate - average life
expectancy for males born in 2006 was 60-61, according to
a UN Development Program report.
Russia has already banned smoking in most enclosed
public spaces and the government has increased the mini-
mum prices for vodka.
On New Years Day, the bottom price for a half-liter of
vodka was raised by 36 percent, to 170 rubles ($5.50).

for higher taxes on the wealthy.
Moments later, Obama strode into the
White House briefing room and
declared, Thanks to the votes of
Republicans and Democrats in Congress
I will sign a law that raises taxes on the
wealthiest 2 percent of Americans while
presenting tax hikes that could have sent
the economy back into recession.
He spoke with Vice President Joe
Biden at his side, a recognition of the
former senators role as the lead
Democratic negotiator in nal compro-
mise talks with Senate Republican
Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
In addition to neutralizing middle
class tax increases and spending cuts
taking effect with the new year, the leg-
islation will raise tax rates on incomes
over $400,000 for individuals and
$450,000 for couples. That was higher
than the thresholds of $200,000 and
$250,000 that Obama campaigned for.
But remarkably, in a party that swore off
tax increases two decades ago, dozens of
Republicans supported the bill at both
ends of the Capitol.
The Senate approved the measure on a
vote of 89-8 less than 24 hours earlier,
and in the interim, rebellious House con-
servatives demanded a vote to add sig-
nicant spending cuts to the measure.
But in the end they retreated.
The measure split the upper ranks of
the Republican leadership in the House.
Speaker John Boehner of Ohio voted
in favor, while Majority Leader Eric
Cantor of Virginia and California Rep.
Kevin McCarthy, the partys whip,
opposed the bill.
Supporters of the bill in both parties
expressed regret that it was narrowly
drawn, and fell far short of a sweeping
plan that combined tax changes and
spending cuts to reduce federal decits.
That proved to be a step too far in the
two months since Obama called con-
gressional leaders to the White House
for a postelection stab at compromise.
Majority Republicans did their best to
minimize the bills tax increases, just as
they abandoned their demand from earli-
er in the day to add spending cuts to the
package.
By making Republican tax cuts per-
manent, we are one step closer to com-
prehensive tax reform that will help
strengthen our economy and create more
and higher paychecks for American
workers, said Rep. Dave Camp of
Michigan, chairman of the tax-writing
House Ways and Means Committee.
He urged a vote for passage to get us
one step closer to tax reform in 2013 as
well as attempts to control spending.
House Democratic Leader Nancy
Pelosi also said the legislation
included permanent tax relief for the
middle class, and she summoned
lawmakers to provide bipartisan sup-
port as the Senate did.
The bill would also prevent an expira-
tion of extended unemployment benets
for an estimated two million jobless,
block a 27 percent cut in fees for doctors
who treat Medicare patients, stop a $900
pay increase for lawmakers from taking
effect in March and head off a threatened
spike in milk prices.
It would stop $24 billion in across-the-
board spending cuts set to take effect
over the next two months, although only
about half of that total would be offset
with savings elsewhere in the budget.
The economic as well as political
stakes were considerable.
Economists have warned that without
action by Congress, the tax increases
and spending cuts that technically took
effect with the turn of the new year at
midnight could send the economy into
recession.
Even with enactment of the legisla-
tion, taxes are on the rise for millions.
A 2 percentage point temporary cut in
the Social Security payroll tax, original-
ly enacted two years ago to stimulate the
economy, expired with the end of 2012.
Neither Obama nor Republicans made a
signicant effort to extend it.
House Republicans spent much of the
day struggling to escape a political cor-
ner they found themselves in.
I personally hate it, Rep. John
Campbell of California, said of the
measure, giving voice to the concern of
many Republicans that it did little or
nothing to cut spending.
CLIFF
report which sums up how the county is
making ends meet and where it may
need to improve. The 10-page report
looked at statistics through the end of
June 30, 2012.
On the good side, the county is in bet-
ter shape than the state in regards to pen-
sions and other benet liabilities. The
countys funded ratio of 73.3 percent is
higher than the states ration of 59.4 per-
cent and works out to a per capita liabil-
ity of $1,285 compared to the states
$4,349.
The newly passed state pension
reform act will primarily affect workers
hired after Jan. 1, 2013 which, Adler
notes in the report, means the number of
employees in more expensive retirement
plans will diminish over time.
However, the county despite having
frozen its workforce and salaries will
still face higher annual employer contri-
bution rates for benet obligations in the
foreseeable future.
That future also holds several
unknowns.
For instance, in the last scal year, the
county was not paid $203,960 of the
$125 million owed in vehicle license
fees because of insufcient funds. The
countys share of the shortfall was
$120,666. If more school districts
become basic aid when property taxes
are higher than state per-pupil funding,
the shortfall could grow signicantly
because there wont be sufcient money
from Education Revenue Augmentation
Funds and non-basic aid school districts
to pay the VLF due the county and cities.
In turn, the county and cities will have
less revenue available and feel a pro-
found, detrimental impact, Adler wrote
in the report.
Looking forward, the county will also
be required to make major changes in
health care delivery under the Affordable
Care Act. An estimated 47,000 more
uninsured residents will qualify
although a smaller number is expected to
actually participate. When all is said and
done, the county estimates 16,000 adults
and 4,500 children will continue to be
uninsured and therefore remain the
county responsibility; in comparison,
28,000 adults and 5,000 kids are current-
ly enrolled in county programs.
The county actually expects an overall
neutral nancial effect from the laws
implementation but there is much
nancial uncertainty, Adler wrote.
What is known is data from the last
fiscal year, including a 7.1 percent
unemployment rate which is below the
prior years average of 8.4 percent. The
county is the second lowest among
Californias 58 counties.
August 2012 was the strongest month
for Bay Area home sales in six years and
the number of homes sold increased 14
percent over the previous year. Adler
wrote that the countys median prices
continue to rise the single-family
home median rose 8.9 percent to
$826,250 and the improving real
estate market in the county should con-
tinue to increase assessed property values
and, in turn, future property tax revenue.
The property tax assessment roll is
also up 3.33 percent, or $4.75 billion,
which means an increase in property tax
revenue of about $47.5 million for
schools, cities, special districts and the
county. However, the future doesnt
include refunds, which are unpre-
dictable. For example, in scal year
2011-12, the county processed $26.3
million in refunds.
The report also noted that the com-
mercial property vacancy rate was up
14.1 percent and the per capita personal
income increased to $67,964 which is an
ongoing increase.
Air traffic at San Francisco
International Airport continues as a
major economic impact on the region,
providing tens of thousands of jobs and
seeing total passenger volume up 7.7
percent to 43.1 million people.

THIS AD.
So are your customers.
And future customers.
And former customers.
We understand how cool and sexy those Google
keywords and Facebook ads and Groupon deals are
However...
Neglecting the selling power of newspaper
advertising is leaving a huge hole in your
marketing efforts.
The Daily Journal has a cost effective, extremely
focused method of bringing you customers you cannot
reach via other channels.
If we received a dollar for every time someone said
Print is dead, well, we could afford to print this
newspaper in gold leaf.
So we understand, how unsexy and boring the
consistency of newspapers may seem.
If you feel a steady stream of business and your cash
register ringing is boring, then dont call us for a free
assessment of how the Daily Journal can help your
business succeed.
